Let me respond to you again in a different way, this time referencing some unicorn definitions I like (https://stackoverflow.com/a/27331885).

I don't think we can have a meaningful conversation in terms of characters so I'm going to ignore that and reference your last paragraph. You seem to be arguing that string as a type has use when viewing it as a collection of methods that allow access to Code Points given an underlying storage of Code Units. The article is arguing that unless you're writing a unicode encoder/decoder, you probably don't care about manipulating Code Units (except that modern languages have given you these byte arrays that you reference the length of for memory purposes). What you really usually care about is searching, replacing, concating, and cutting collections of Code Points. But languages have only given you this hodge podge grouping of Code Unit arrays and specialty methods for Code Point access so thats what you're used to dealing with and of course you want some kind of abstraction, like a string type, to deal with so you don't end up with the scenario you describe where you screw up a Code Unit sequence trying to manipulate a Code Point.

So the final point is that unless you're working with unicode encoding/decoding, you really only care about Code Points. And once you create a String class that only exposes Code Points, you have got something equivalent to a simple array.
Right now with the cold, the car is telling me ~150 miles. But this is during below-freezing temperatures in the midwest, and I've only had it for a few weeks. My commute is ~3.5 miles, around town trips of no more than 10 miles round-trip, and I don't typically precondition before my drives.

From what I've read, the 240 mile estimate is pretty accurate - some more spirited driving will obviously have you fall short of that number, and some users have reported getting more than 240 miles.
That's true.

I suppose I'm just curious because this decline of serial killers seems to have coincided with a rise in mass shootings and I have to wonder if that's correlated at all.

The article talks a bunch about how serial killers are likely a certain kind of person, shaped by their childhood environments

I'm just wondering if that certain kind of person exposed to a different environment is maybe the type that becomes a mass shooter.

Just speculation, though.
He is licensed, but it doesn't appear that he was an active broker. From what I have read, he was creating marketing or training videos of some type for Mass Mutual. He also resigned his position in January. Though not fully before everything blew up with gme.
What makes you say that? You know they are intentionally difficult in the US?

For instance, there's been legislation where the IRS would simply tell you how much you owe and you pay it or dispute it. The IRS already know this amount, because this is what eventually happens.

Turbotax successfully lobbied for its defeat. It explicitly spends large amounts of money to complicate and convolute the system and structure it like a classroom quiz.
"former republican officials" is no the same as "former republicans", unless everyone who ever left a job while being republican is failed?
Woah there internet tough-guy

So now being able to take vacations (even if you're in financially good shape) is off limits? I'm not justifying anything that the lady in question did... but I think a 30k car and one vacation a year is reasonable on a 120k salary. Sounds like two people, yourself included, have said no- that is not acceptable (and that makes you entitled for thinking so). I know some extremely thrifty (or smart if you will) people that don't place any value on emotional experiences that might "recharge your batteries" that would argue it's a waste (even if you have more than enough money). Looks like you're one of them.

When you lose your job, you're right- the "means" change and you need to re-evaluate things. I'm not questioning that. I was questioning how is a 30k car out of the means of $120k/year person, especially if they can buy it in cash.
Would love to hear any feedback.

I am working on an open source project management system. Something to replace Asana or Jira. A tool that can be installed quickly and runs in almost any environment.

On large projects you'll run OOM quickly if you're compiling thousands of files at once. All the context switches also slow down compilation.

You should rank in cases per test instead. Otherwise countries that simply don't test look very good.
> Improved method chain breaking heuristic

This is great! When I'm scripting in Node.js I tend to prefer either of these two styles, with the second one being normally a cleaned-up version of the first one:

const res = base
.map(a => a.b)
.filter(b => /abc/.test(b))
.join('\n');

const res = base.map(extractB).filter(isAbc).join('\n');

The second one would be split into different lines with Prettier 1.x, which was annoying since I would explicitly extract those methods into separated functions for clarity. So this is amazing for my personal projects.

However at the same time I'm not thrilled about prettier breaking changes. It is supposed to be the one way of doing things, so now a project might have different people with different prettier versions, making it a ping-pong game if someone has prettier 1 and someone else prettier 2.
Yes. But you'll live. You getting past it - as much as it sucks for you - lowers the overall threat. Now you're immune. The more we have lime you, the better off we are. We can't stop it. But the more immune there are the better.

I don't use Facebook either, but I don't want politicians to tell me whether I need Facebook.
I think the interesting thing is that Facebook seems to finally begin to take SchremsII seriously.

It is a sword of Damocles hanging over all US companies doing business in the EU and it is something that needs to be solved by the US side, as European courts have shot all attempts by the EU down.

I hope this is a beginning for the US to finally tackle their due process deficiency.
Hi from Indonesia
pay attention. it's already started.
Please talk with your doctors about it, switch specialists if needed. If someone dismiss how you feel about yourself and your situation it's them who is wrong, not you.

One of the reasons ADHD has a bad reputation is because Adderall et al. were given out like candies at some point. I'm 100% aware of that. I wouldn't be surprised if someone would be forced into ADHD box only because parents/doctors/someone else think they should be. Kid is underperforming? Hit it with meds. Too noisy? Same. I wouldn't be surprised neurotypical person would get boost from meds.

I also don't believe ADHD can be managed with "here's a pill, go play" approach. It's a complex issue that requires complex solutions.
I once inherited a medium size python service and small front end at work that was primarily developed by someone that was super into Haskell. He chose to use mongodb and built a lot of functionality around the constraint that he didn't know what an index was.

I'm very thankful his manager didn't let him write it in Haskell. Now he's where he belongs back in academia doing NLP research.
Don’t grow? Stay the same, maintain the status quo, be happy with what you achieved, get over the need for more more more, etc. The shareholders will get over their disappointment.
Our software is published under the AGPLv3 license and comes with no guarantee, like any other FOSS project (if you do not pay for support). We are considering our software as "public beta" quality, so we think it works well, at least for us.

On the plus side, it survived Hacker News Hug of Death. Indeed, the website we linked is hosted on our own Garage cluster made of old Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 (with Intel Pentium G3420 and 8GB of RAM) and the cluster seems fine. We also host more than 100k objects in our Matrix (a chat service) bucket.

On the minus side, this is the first time we have so much coverage, so our software has not yet been tested by thousands of people. It is possible that in the near future, some edge cases we never triggered are reported. This is the reason why most people wait that an application reaches a certain level of adoption before using it, in other words they don't want to pay "the early adopter cost".

In the end, it's up to you :-)
You can steer fine without power assist, it only gets hard in slow speed parking maneuvers. Source: I've done it.

Also this situation is no different than normal power steering, which assists you with a different mechanism.
That may be so, but being thin dies not equate being healthy. Every body is different though, and such a diet might work for you, while I need a lot more protein and a whole lot less carbs. That being said, whatever works for you or me, does not necessarily mean we're healthy.
This is cool. An interesting tidbit. We actually used Logo as a programming metaphor when creating our telescope observation software for the Green Bank Telescope (http://www.gb.nrao.edu/gbt/) in Python. The observation software has been in operation for about 8 years now and has been very successful.
If you go into System Preferences > Accounts, you can right-click on your user and choose Advanced Options. I copied my home dir to the HDD, then linked it here.

You get more nuance from symlinks, etc, but this was a simple method which worked for me. Other people mentioned symlinking some dirs, but no one had mentioned that you could move your entire user directory this way.
Identifying when you're freshest is a huge first step. You'll get more done, you'll be more effective, things will be less exhausting. For me, my most effective hours were the morning, but I was never allocating morning time to work/think/whatever. So once I figured that out, I went out of my way to get up early and have repeatedly dedicated myself to that time, which has made all of the difference...
i've been working on this problem for folks in production/post-production rather than in programming/dev. would love to chat on what i've got so far.

there are some very big differences between what folks who are new to freelance need vs those who are 'old hat' and very little that is out there to connect these individuals together. im interested in trying to solve the issues that many industries are currently having with mentorship and education while also making sure folks work at rewarding jobs.

Its waste of time to talk on pakistan, the people are busy in setting dynamics of state of war(islam vs non islam) and state of peace(when there is only ISLAM).

I never saw them talking on things other than PEACE(achieved through only war).

According to Consumer Reports, Mazda's non-touch-screen infotainment controls are actually not good at all:

* https://www.consumerreports.org/infotainment-systems/how-to-...

> Despite selling some vehicles with high ratings in other categories, Audi, Honda, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Subaru, and Toyota all joined Lexus at the bottom of our satisfaction ratings when it came to ease of use for in-car electronics.

* https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/mazda/3/2021/road-test/ (requires subscription):

> The infotainment screen mounted in the center of the dash isn’t a touch screen; users must adjust audio and infotainment features using steering wheel controls or the rotary controller and buttons mounted between the front seats. Unfortunately, some steering wheel controls are hard to see and difficult to use because they have silver text on a silver background. The rotary knob and buttons in the center console are also challenging to use since many of the buttons are difficult to see at a glance, and the lack of an easy-to-decipher menu structure forces drivers to spend too long looking at the controls instead of the road.

As can be seen from your first link, the main control method is a jog-wheel knob at your knee next to the gear shift lever, mounted facing up, so you turn it left and right to select things and push in to "click"/confirm. CR says that with this control system, and the menu hierarchies that Mazda's UI makes you go through, you end up more distracted than with the better touch-screen systems they review.

I think we're afraid of being wrong.

We live in a society where access to information is greater than it ever has been in history, and everything we may take an interest in doing has been done before, and someone has already pointed out all of the flaws and how it's wrong. We see that first and focus in on it, and we let it destroy something that a previous generation would've seen as imperfect yet beautiful.
Overriding `read` is really neat!

While I was reading this I realized just about any scheme implementation could probably override their `read` like this as well. Obviously racket as an implementation has focused on making this work well.
curious then, what in your opinion solves these "ux" problems better?
>"gently" pushing locked in MS web devs out of the darkness of that Web Forms madness

Minor nitpick on your otherwise positive comment, we have been using ASP.NET MVC for almost ten years now (ok eight). Webforms have long been a thing of the past, at least in the circles most devs I know move in.
I don't like to be the cynical one (hmm), but I'm not at all convinced. An awful lot of the "dialog" looks like it is generated content. Maybe not all of it, but there is a lot that sets off alarms for me.

<Insert obligatory thread about Turing tests, Twitter, 4chan etc here I guess />

If I'm wrong, then please pretend you never read this, and DON'T THINK AUTO GENERATING CONTENT IS A GOOD IDEA!
Unfortunately the cooking temperatures are well above what most standard kitchens can achieve, at a sizzling 850F.

Speaking from personal experience however, it is possible to make a good pizza with a standard oven with some experimentation.
I've been forced into a similar situation for a week now. I moved to a new city for a new job and have no internet connection at home yet (and no TV or radio either).

It was painful for the first few days but now I am so much more relaxed and well-rested I am giving serious consideration to continuing this way for a bit. I also seem to be able to concentrate a great deal better than before: tested on a new (to me) Coetzee novel and a math textbook.
Excel is the tool of choice for non techies who need "database like" functionality but the word database scares the crap out of them. Large companies wrap multi million dollar businesses around Excel, and I think there will always be a market for an app like this.

I only recently began using Office 2010 at my office and feel like this is what office 2003(or if Im feeling generous, 2007) should have been. Outlook is an anachronism as far as Im concerned- even connected to exchange. There are so many modal features about it still that are infuriating, but its getting to an almost gmail usability level. If gmail integrated calendaring as well as outlook I would forward all my work email to a gmail address and never touch outlook.

MsWord stil is hands down much better than any free equivalent I have tried, but I only need this app ~5 - 10 times per year.

I wish they had an "Office for people who really dont need office that much" version that was on some sort of azure/pay for need basis(where the cost was minimal and paying wasn't) because that is what I need. I dont want to have a few GB of hardly used real estate on my hard disk for when I need to update a resume.
I'd just like to clarify - you are saying their inability to produce a counterpoint is irrelevant to their argument because there might exist a possible counterpoint not yet articulated that validates their argument?
The purpose of a query engine is so I don't have to think about this stuff. Computers are supposed to do work for me, no the other way around, dangit!

Please share what that hardware is. On Linux, Vulkan support starts at Intel IvyBridge, which is 8 years old now. Do people develop games on older computers these days? On other OSes, we have D3D12/D3D11 and Metal support.
Same; the worst about this, imo, is the duplicity and hypocrisy. So many people today are using the very tactics that they criticize: division, judgment, hatred, prejudice, exclusion, so on and so on
I would even say that it’s not a clean story of an encrypted messenger. Not when your phone number is associated with it.

Bloomberg has refered to the NYPD as his "army". His privacy objections to cameras are not his real concern.
You understand that up until mid 2019 Hauwei was using Android, right? And even today, it's just a fork of android. Hauwei was never able to write their own OS or even create their own products. Their first routers would boot up with the IOS command prompt, and even their manuals had cut and paste of IOS documentation. Just blatant copying.

Once Hauwei actually builds innovative operating systems and creates new product spaces that aren't ripped off copies of western models, they can start acquiring the reputation of making good products.
Definitely a First-World Problem. <grin>
If ever I wanted some visual reference rather than pure text...
A popular guideline that makes sense to me is to control the tech that you compete on and outsource everything else.

Eg if "search" quality is a competitive differentiation, make sure you implement search yourself. Your goal is to beat the rest of the market in search quality so buying a commodity search product that anyone else can buy doesn't make sense. You are directly rewarded for paying the extra NIH cost to go the extra mile for your customers.

For everything else, there's little benefit to paying the extra cost of NIH. An excessively fancy/powerful support ticketing system, for example, isn't going to help you get more customers. Few people might care how much nicer the checkout/payment page is than on other products, so you can outsource that.

Most areas in real life don't benefit from extra quality either. For eg, the extra quality you might get from hunting/farming your own own food makes little difference to most people, so most choose to outsource that.
I loved magsafe at the time, but I can't decide if I want magsafe now. It's pretty nice being able to charge most devices in my bag with the same USB-C cord. If they had a magnetic breakaway connection in the middle of a USB-C cord, that would be the best of both worlds.
Once again the HN community completely missing the point on crypto and this time on NFTs. Bunch of unimaginative people who think they're smarter than everyone else but have missed out on the biggest technological investment opportunity of the past decade and continue to remain petty and close minded on something they somehow still don't even understand.

I'll throw you guys a little bone. Imagine sports card collecting, in the real world the hassle of keeping it in good condition, sending it to get it graded, then finding a buyer online, sending it again, and then hoping to get paid...all of that is full of friction and generally a terrible experience. NFTs like NBA Top Shot allow you to bypass all of that and the process of opening a pack, finding the price of it, and selling it can be done all in seconds. It is legitimately a 10x improvement from a logistical standpoint. And that's just scratching the surface, it's not only 10x more convenient and easier to find liquidity but it's actually programmable so there's pretty much infinite stuff that can be built on top of it like analytical tools, games that it integrates with and tracking ownership and getting athletes involved and displaying in virtual spaces and attaching digital custom signatures etc etc.

Even if you personally don't like it or think "its stupid", the popularity of some of these products is undeniable. It is legit blowing up and has disrupted previous industries that people who get it refuse to go back to old ways. Sorry the market has spoken and your take is wrong.
The problem I have with Whatsapp is even more than Signal: Not only they engage me to start a conversation with that customer to whom I only wanted to appear super-stern and rigorous, but they also send them my profile photo and my name!

My business name is not my private name! At least let me remain under my name in their address book, don’t give them information.
MathJax should be implemented directly within Browsers vs a slow JS package.

However to answer your question, I separate MathML from MathJax. MathML is a data model for math, MathJax is a renderer - both should co exist and complement each other. Most other vendors are supporting MathML, Chrome by not supporting it, has pushed it away from being a standard.
> Apologies for out-pedanting you, but I believe it is still called the past tense. English past tense (a grammatical form) can be used in several situations, the dominant being signalling past time, but also used to signal conditionals.

Its almost the reverse in this case. Among the meanings of the simple conditional form is the "future-in-the-past" meaning (which is sometimes called a form or tense of its own.)

There are conditional sentences in which one or the other of English's past tenses/forms are used, but they are used in the condition clause (which was implicit, not stated, in the sentence at issue). The other clause (the conditional) uses a future form (usually marked with the modal verb will or shall -- English doesn't actually have a future tense, as such) or a conditional form (marked with the modal verb would or should.)
