What Scott Hanselman calls dark matter developers, don't care one second about where .NET Core stands today, the large majority doesn't come to sites like HN and Reddit, and is busy porting applications to 4.7.2 and if they are lucky already using .NET Framework 4.8, regardless how Microsoft would like to pimp the .NET Core story.

Just look at the github issues of everyone on the UWP/WinRT disgruntled with the lack of roadmap for .NET Native, or how WPF has taken one year to ramp up a new team, after they sent everyone away. Worse it seems that WPF bug fixes are being done from other side of the globe in some offshoring deal.

"the idea of Ancestor Simulation has been around for quite some time. However it did not receive widespread publicity until 2001 when Nick Bostrom from the Department of Philosophy at Oxford University in England wrote a paper entitled 'Are you living in a computer simulation'?"

A slightly less well known version of the idea was written around 400 BC by some guy named Plato.

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Allegory_of_t...

Of course Plato couldn't hold a candle to the likes of Nick Bostrom.

And we mustn't forget an even earlier version of the idea that's been around for thousands of years even before Plato. The Hindus believed the world was illusion. This was echoed later by the Buddha (around the same time as Plato).

> This policy change got to clash with GDPR since they made it mandatory?

Facebook (and plenty of other companies) breach the GDPR with non-compliant consent flows (similarly, you are forced to consent to tracking to visit Facebook or Instagram even as a guest without logging in) and refusing to fulfil data subject access requests and seem to get away with it. GDPR enforcement is a joke.

Actually, I think what he was more accurately asking for was a summary--or "Cliff's Notes Version"
Perfect example: The very first Java program you write when you learn Java. I have never seen anyone provide a sufficient explanation to absolute beginners about what "Public Static Void Main(String args[])" is since they don't have enough background to understand OOP, program arguments, return types, functions, etc....

Most of the time it just becomes a magic incantation to the absolute beginner.

C++ is a little better since you don't have to wrap all this inside a class before you even understand what a class is, but really it provides no serious advantages over straight C until the student needs to learn OOP.

It's not really the fault of the languages, since the audience for both were programmers that already knew programming concepts. It's the fault of the course & material developers who decided that they'll just teach Java (or C++) so they can stamp out CS graduates, to fulfill the implicit guarantee of a University Education that everyone will get a high paying job.

Full disclosure: I think that just teaching straight out of K&R is the best way to introduce programming for CS majors, and a well adopted scripting language for non-CS majors.

Extra Full Disclosure: I was in the College of Education studying to be a teacher, with a full background in pedagogy, before I changed to CS.
Sure, but most of them aren't 100%, and tend to lose formatting nuances. My resume looks awful when exported to MS Word, so I always have to load it up in a pirated copy or on someone else's computer, tweak it there, and then send it on. I hate the idea of using commercial software that I haven't paid for, so it just irks me that this is required.
Taking the not invented here idea with Go and the recent generation lost to the bazaar post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8812724 ) is somewhat interesting. I see Go from a user perspective as having both those design and culture aspects mixed together (successfully IMO).
You're entirely missing the point.

http://www.rmi.org/RFGraph-health_effects_from_US_power_plan... indicates 13,000 deaths a year attributable to coal. In the extraordinarily unlikely (given better reactor design and regulation) event of a Chernobyl-level incident near NYC, in the extraordinarily unlikely (given that Chernobyl killed 100) event it kills 10% of New York City, nuclear power's death toll would still only match coal's during that time.

Incidentally, Chernobyl's exclusion zone is ~30km radius. There aren't any plants that close to NYC - they're generally carefully placed and have extensive evacuation plans in place for the surrounding areas.

Macros are wonderful, but intuitively it seems very limited in scope wrt compile-time optimizations.

If you're not a developer, you should still learn how to code. At least showing that you're willing to learn goes a long way so you can help with even the little things, such as fixing pixels or checking in small bugs. Think of it another way: would you join a renewable energy startup if you didn't know some engineering (materials, chemistry, mechanical, electrical, et al) fundamentals? How do you think you would do if put into an interview?

I'm learning it now too. My primary use case, at least initially, is going to try to extend python with C. Not really because I have a need, but mostly because I can't really imagine needing C for any other task than speeding up some of my poorly optimized python at some point down the road.

Yes, the feature set is different. But, again, debuted in 2014. And it is available on PC, which shows that at least it's somewhat cross-platform.

Not a Pi but the rockpro64 has a pcie port in which you can plug what you want (a sata card for example).

I made a nas with one 3tb drive and zfs. Zfs was a bit difficult to install but now it works really well and the power consumption is low.

You have to use the Linux images mades by ayufan (a third party) though. The manufacturer just list a bunch of distro that run on the cards and most of them seem to be made by some volunteer. I'm not a big fan of that.
It boggles my mind why Apple doesn't have any engagement at all with the community. Their community Q&A is full of questions like "How do I play notifications through the phone speaker instead of bluetooth speaker" and the answers are just community members with the same problem, also wondering how to do it. Zero engagement from Apple.
Let me echo what tytso said. I work / have worked / have gotten job offers for a bunch of companies you've heard of and I would never consider < $100K+ unless for a pre round A. At places I've interviewed and at places I've hired I think there is an expectation that there is at least one language that you know really really well. If it's java, I expect you not only to know the syntax backwards and forwards but to have used at least one of {groovy, jruby, jython, scala, clojure}, to be able to discuss design patterns, failure modes of the gc, how to detect them and how to work around them, to know things like how to minimize memory usage, to have opinions on how the jvm team did generics and possible alternatives, to have used at least one common editor and know keyboard shortcuts by heart, to know how to use associated tools like ant, jar, ivy, maven, sbt, etc.

So my recommendation is you need to have at least one tech stack -- and I'd avoid .net, but some companies do use it -- where you're an expert and you're the person in your company that people come ask questions of.

I've used xdotool for that. A CLI-only tool ironically enough.
tDCS has a very similar problem.

There is so much hype (“it does everything: makes you stronger, faster, happier, smarter, and better at video games and jazz”) and anti-hype (“it does nothing and it’s all placebo or peripheral stimulation”)[0].

I know about as much about it as anyone and I think that it a) has tons of promise and b) should not be anywhere near anyone but an research participant for the foreseeable future.
No, `keyCode` can also change with layout. Since you mentioned WASD, ‘W’ on a US layout has `keyCode` 87. Select a French layout, and the same physical key now has `keyCode` 90.

If you're using `keyCode` for anything, you're doing it wrong. There's a reason it's marked ‘legacy’.

Physical key position is the UI Event ‘code’, which is in this example will be "KeyW" regardless of layout. This field is essentially 1:1 with hardware HID codes (as used by USB and Bluetooth keyboards).
Are you claiming that (e.g.) ZFC (which does not have orders for propositions) is not "foundations", or that it isn't consistent?

Or by "foundations" are you referring to a particular system you are proposing as a foundational system, and which you have named "foundations"?

You appear to justify the argument on the basis of the idea of a liar sentence.

As exemplified in NFU , it is not necessary to give strict orders to things, as long as you put restrictions on how things are constructed. TST has linearly ordered types, but NFU has no need to introduce these types and orders, as just requiring that formulas be stratified is sufficient.

There is no liar sentence in Peano Arithmetic. It isn't a well-formed-formula. Partitioning propositions into orders is not needed in order to prevent it being a well-formed-formula. Just, don't include anything in your rules for what counts as a wff which would let you define it.

(you may object that, what if one just does the Godel numbering thing to do some quine-ing, and uses that to produce a liar sentence, but you can't express "The proposition [some number] encodes, is false" in PA (see Tarski's undefinability theorem) .)

It isn't like UNK is defined in PA as "a statement UNK such that UNK iff not(provable('UNK'))". That wouldn't be a wff in PA. Rather, it is some long expression involving a bunch of quantifiers over natural numbers, and also a bunch of large numbers, and a bunch of arithmetical relations, and happens to be such that one can prove (in PA) that [UNK iff not(provable('UNK')] .
If you survived the virus, you should easily survive the vaccine, particularly the mRNA ones. You already know that you tolerate virus mRNA and the S-protein being in your body just fine. The lipid nanoparticle poses incredibly little risk to you unless you happen to be allergic to PEG. You also have no idea of how well you're maintaining antibodies to the virus, or if you can contract and transmit a current or future variant.
The key sentence:

> Limited edition shoes can fetch higher prices among collectors so it is not clear how many - if any - customers will return the products.

No one who received these will return these for the original price, they're already worth orders of magnitude more as it is. This is all pretty meaningless.

Why would anyone return these? If anything, it sounds to me like this is YET another layer of MSCHF playing Nike like a fiddle. By ordering this "recall", the value of those shoes shot up even higher.

From a quick glance, the first thing you'll need to do is install Python for your platform. There are a bunch available, but for Windows I usually recommend WinPython. This one should be good: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_3... . Run that and select an empty folder to install it into. When it's done, open the folder and run the "WinPython Command Prompt".

Once you have that, download the code (green button "Download as ZIP") and extract it into your WinPython folder. Go into it by typing "cd GamestonkTerminal" into the terminal and press enter. The terminal should indicate you're now in that folder.

Once there, run the following command: "pip -r install". This wil take some time to complete, during which you can follow the links in the "API Keys" section of the Readme and follow whatever steps they require for you to get an API key (probably have to register an account, create an "application" and create a key - it'll usually be a long random-looking string of characters).

Once you have the keys, edit the "config_terminal.py" using notepad or preferably Notepad++ and put the corresponding keys where "REPLACE_ME" is at the end of each line (keep the quotes!).

If you've done all that, go back to the command prompt from before and run "python ganestonk_terminal.py". The terminal should be running.

Not just prohibited, but actually not present.

/out/(doors) and /diy/ contain tolerably interesting content. The tech board contains somewhat more mixed quality.

Being anon, there's not much pimping for karma or upvotes or likes or whatever all over the rest of the web, making it refreshingly honest and realistic. You'll be disappointed if you're in the mood for headlines like "You'll never guess the top 5 things that happen after this headline ends in a rhetorical question?" clickbait sites or if you were expecting the prose of the New Yorker, but its not bad, mostly.

There is more to 4chan than /b/ /hc/ and /pol/, although media trying to do a hatchet job obviously disagree. The eternal "best camping knife" debate on /out/ is not going to generate clickbait headlines on mainstream media site unlike pretty much everything posted on /pol/, at least /pol/ in the old pre-censorship days.

How did youtube manage to convince the ftc that their practice of illegally surveilling minors is somehow the fault of youtube users? Doesn't every youtube user provide their age when they make an account? Shouldn't youtube have some kind of predicate like "if child doNotTrack"?

True. But all too often, people stop checking when their results agree with prior work. But then, eventually, someone is confident enough to publish results that aren't consistent with prior work.
