This! This really needs to be fixed! My first experience of getting a node application running on Windows ran into this very quickly due to the crazy dependency tree npm creates. While npm could certainly be improved this limit is so old it really needs to be fixed.
teaching from first principles doesn't hold up experimentally. Every documented case of teaching e.g. mathematics or languages from first principles without first going through practical examples or the like has resulted in failures.

I'm pretty sure nobody actually learns from first principles,but understand first principles from things they've already seen
I love that website. It has the perfect amount of contrast, not the harsh #000 on #fff half this comment section recommends.

First, your point about planning time is important, thanks for adding that.

Regarding my point, it's possible that the planner may provide a better (on average, faster executed) plan for a given key, if that key is not found in stats, and that keys for which this is true may fit a pattern within the middle of the stats distribution. It all depends on the database schema and stats distributions.
You don't seem to get it, do you? Your government decides it can't regulate crypto, so it bans it. People use crypto anyway. Government raids telecom and puts filters on Internet. People use encryption. Government shuts down Internet. People use satellite internet. Government make penalty for using crypto a life sentence, because they can. Drives around with vans detecting sat signals. You can't fight them on their turf.
I've never signed up for a LinkedIn account. As far as I can tell it hasn't been a problem for me as I've been happily employed ever since I graduated from college.

Am I missing anything?

Have you seen how fast China has built out it's train system?

How's Amtrak doing?

China already has beaten the US in infrastructure. The USA is left with a 1950's failing infrastructure with no upgrades or expansions being done. In fact, more and more cities/states are tearing down highways. Like Seattle did with the Viaduct.

Inability to keep up or build out lasting infrastructure:

Or worse, giving jobs to incompetent builders:

Great, thanks for the feedback. I will add your feature request to the long list ;)

If it hadn't been able to run DOS and Windows apps it never would have been as successful as it was, so I don't think so.
> From a quick glance, most of your pages have pretty thin content, and I assume it's pulling from an API, so none of it is unique. If there was one thing I would do is try to build some content on pages.

Your advice will help OP, but it's sad to see it on here.

Adding content to sites that don't need it ruins the experience. Don't build for the bot, build for humans.

SEO is a cancer on the web. A few days ago Google directed me to a recipe for a particular type of bread. I swear I had to scroll through the authors entire life story... how their grandmother handed down this recipe from her grandmothers mother, how it feels to make you own bread, how to save your sanity with bread, how best to store bread.

The recipe at the very bottom of the page could have fit neatly above the fold.

Here are two options for OP, either of which will improve his website, unlike your suggestion: https://i.imgur.com/9VlBguW.png
Grandma had an old metal fan. I learned the hard way a few of the protective wires were missing. Not so fun times.
Ok. I get that... but you know Spotify is $16.25/mo. Recurring. Every year you know exactly how much it will be. So I guess I just don’t really get it what that envelope is doing. Maybe making sure you don’t get double charged or price change?

But... car Insurance I do get. If you get billed every six months getting that big bill out of nowhere does kind of suck.
You're telling me that companies publishing information have to take an editorial stance on what they publish? I'm shocked!

More seriously, even though there's no "closed form" solution, it seems like each publisher can take a reasonable subset of what they can stomach. If "good information" is an amorphous, moving blob floating in a sea of "bad information" we can draw simple polygons that are more/less inclusive of "good information" while allowing more or less "bad information" to be included.
Sometimes. I think I’ve only listened to a few (like 2 or 3). For me most of it falls under the category of ‘magical voluntarism’. It surprised me in his conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté (who I’m a big fan of) how he was scared to really open up and be honest/real.
> And the scientific justification for paleo is just false. Ancient humans did not eat that much meat.

What about native Inuit populations whose diets were nearly 100% meat?
It makes sense that European governments would love to see Facebook
(and other US giants) exit. Splitting up big-tech is not a good answer
to dominance or monopoly, as it adds more heads to the hydra. The
answer is pour funding into EU startups, future alternatives that will
usurp US giants. But that cannot happen while Google etc are present,
as it will be seen as wasted investment. Catch-22. Solution: goad
Zuckerberg et al into narcissistic grandstanding, and hope they get
cornered by their own words enough to follow though. Google and
Facebook already did this dance with Australia, and came off the
worse. As a European I would personally be delighted to see the demise
of Facebook, Microsoft and other US behemoths over here, as it would
surely be a boost to our tech economy.
Discord seems to be better than most others
All feedback is appreciated, thanks!
Seconded. I enjoyed rally games at one point and found this one the most realistic (not that I actually did any rally). Also very hard. I had to use low-power cars only to be able to control them. There's something relaxing about driving a long track alone, even in a game.
I don't think changing the microarchitecture would only require developers to swap compiler toolchains from x86 to ARM. The community is largely dependent on x86 architecture. Not a case for high level application developers, but some developers do serious optimization based on instruction set.
The videoconferencing industry seems to believe it's necessary to bypass regular OS protections to make the UX "better".

For example: https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/8/20687014/zoom-security-fla... By design, instead of using a URL handler, they run a HTTP server on your machine to bypass the "open with" dialog. There are good reasons not to trust the binaries they ask you to run.

Here, it turns out they offer a web client after all, which is nice and sandboxed, but they default to trying to run a binary on your machine where you have less control over what it does.
Well, it's global sea level. It's pretty significant and just shows how fast the sea level could change if larger chunks of ice would slip into the water and melt.
What really wins is if management thinks the interface is pretty.
This seems like setting up a strawman version of atheism, and then logically destroying the strawman as a method of apologetics.

I'm not buying it.
Agreed. The great part about vimdiff is that you can easily use it to rapidly make changes and view the diff of them. It's essential for cleaning up changes before a commit for me.
I actually bought an iPod touch for exactly that reason. I'm really not a phone user (I spend $5/month on cell service), so buying an iPhone and spending the money on a data plan does not appeal to me. For my purposes the iPod touch is everything an iPhone does that I'd want, for $2000 less.

The only time I regret it is when I'm traveling, and I'd find it useful to be able to access the internet. But this is rather uncommon.

Honestly, I would be happy to spend extra money on an iPhone without the phone bits. The camera in the iPhone is much better, and the gps would be useful even without an always-on connection.
There's plenty to be angry about.
There is a huge difference between the "wealthy"/"rich" and high income earners. Many high income earners, like young doctors or entrepreneurs, have negative net worth and are not wealthy at all. The progressive tax system is a scam rigged by the true rich-- who control assets and take income mostly as capital gains-- against the next generation of strivers who have earning power but few assets.
Interesting idea. Some things I've noticed:

1) It could use a description on the main page, so that new users know what they're in for.

2) Scrolling through the result page (using the mouse's scroll wheel) makes my browser stall for > 10 seconds before loading new entries. (Firefox 3.6.3 on Win7)

3) The 'beta' badge on the main page has a very light yellow color, which makes the white text hard to read. The label text could also use some letter spacing.

4) The 'y' in the ReadEvery logo is cropped a bit too much, making it look like a 'v'.

5) The results page could use some filter options, to focus on location or relevancy. It would also be nice to be able to remove users from the list on a case-by-case basis.

6) Retweet and reply buttons (per tweet) would be also be nice.
Caring for parents and grandparents, paying off college loans and servicing a mortgage are all tax-deductible activities. I'm not saying it isn't hard to make ends meet with all those obligations, but a tax hike would disproportionately affect his _discretionary_ income, not income that ends up being spent on caring for others or paying off student debt.
I wonder if an adultery charge would even hold up in court anymore. I think the "right to privacy" (which is sort of an unenumerated constitutional right, but which has tons of legal precedent) might actually preclude actually prosecuting someone for adultery.
That's interesting, but what does it have to do with world-class physics research?
The engineers don't necessarily have enough power for that to work. And the current engineers on site aren't necessarily those at fault for a disaster that was caused by incorrect design or construction 30 years ago.

What I would like to see is mandatory escrow of a large percentage of profits from highly-profitable, possibly-disaster-prone industries. If you go disaster-free for 20 years you get your escrowed money with interest. If not, you lose (an appropriate amount of) it.
Thank you for your reply. I went back to look at where I had mentioned that I had used an iPhone but you're right. I have an iPhone and and Android phone but I use banking apps exclusively on the iPhone.

Interesting idea. Probably still would be cheaper than paying 30% tax to Apple.
Plain text is a mirage, in practice it is not super well defined. I find it funny that we have here lauding the simplicity of plain text while there is right before this a thread about CR/LF.

Practically you are always going to reach beyond just simple printable characters, and the moment you do so you fall into a pit of complexity one way or another.

Regarding Markdown, using * for instead of <em></em> is not significantly simpler conceptually. Indeed I'd argue parsing (or rendering) markdown is not simpler than doing so for equivalent html. That is to say that markdown does not provide any level of abstraction over html, instead it is merely a syntatic transformation.
Well, seriously, it is in the interest of the EU at least to provide Greece with some hard cash not in form of further debt.

The UK could agree because they have a historically good relationship with Greece.

Russia could agree because Greece is Orthodox and culturally important for Russian Orthodoxy.

China could agree if they got the job to reconstruct the old Olympic venue. They already own a port in Greece (and an important one, Piraeus).

Israel and the oil sheikhdoms could agree because it is in their neighbourhood and a major source of harmless fun.

Egypt could agree just to piss Erdogan off.
Perhaps we'd better make sure we try to terraform Earth, as it's much closer to being liveable, than Mars.

Colonizing Mars is like the whole 'I can't bother to learn Bash, so let's rewrite our whole app to Kubernetes in next 5 years' thing. A procrastination.
> Development = taking a lot of candidate compounds

At least one $bigPharma defines "research" as being everything up to and including the first proof of concept in a human [Phase I] trial. After that would be "development".
This isn't really saying anything different from what's been said so manytimes before:

It can be a quite lengthy introduction and still be intended for begginers.

I don't see the contradiction.
Sure but the huge response nevertheless caused Tesla to reconsider its whole approach to how much demand there would be and consequently how much extra capital they would need to meet the demand. And now it looks like Tesla will be producing Model 3's in three factories world wide.

You can be sure that GM and Ford are taking these numbers very seriously if only because the Tesla truck is offering compelling utility and a very reasonable price aside from the controversial design.
What prevents you from having a build server that uses AMD cpus? Budget or physical space limitations? Power consumption concerns? Too complicated to have different build and test boxes? Large binary and debug symbols that would result in no effective gains after network transfer time was accounted for?
I don't understand how there's a title called "Making Economic Sense" yet for the most part monetary benefit is the main subject while social benefit is nowhere to be seen. There are claims that the 20% of employee time is being wasted? Would that not make an employee's work-life that much happier? It also seems the article preaches that almost every decision that Microsoft or Google makes cannot fail.
1Password has a random password generator. That's what I use.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Yahoo! shouldn't have confirmed that something is happening with Delicious so early?

I'd disagree. As soon as the story hit TechCrunch, they should have said something. Better to know one way or the other than to leave everyone speculate... because they'll assume the worst, as we've just seen.
A McDonalds analogy makes a certain amount of sense, but to make it work, McDonalds would have to be paying nothing to start with for their supplies. Then, the discounts McDonalds does get for buying in such high volume could be seen as "charging their suppliers".

Normally, Comcast doesn't pay anyone to be able to serve their network traffic, so in that way they're like a McDonalds who doesn't pay for their supplies, and only acts as a middleman to give their suppliers a way to sell their buns or fries or whatever.

So yes, I think you have the right idea.

Also, ISPs have been peering both with one another and with others since the dawn of ISPs, as far as I can tell. Frankly, it is unfair, but it's been happening since the beginning. I don't honestly know how one would solve this imbalance - perhaps require ISPs to accept ALL peering requests? I don't know enough about networking to know if that would end well, but I suspect it wouldn't.
If you're talking about any sort of science fiction, I (and I'm sure countless others) would recommend Dune by Frank Herbert -- the best-selling sci-fi novel of all time, and for good reason. It's not as light-hearted as Ready Player One, though.
I found that it mostly works great, but sometimes it gives really wrong results - without any warnings. My professor complained about various errors too (mostly in dynamical systems, some control theory, but the problems seemed to be of a general sort), so it wasn't just a 40 cm error. To me this suggest that the language has plenty of leaky abstractions. My feeling is that in languages like python or julia, if you do something wrong you are more likely to hear about - and understand - it.
You mean blog + viral traction. There are lots of blogs full of unanswered complaints.
Has anyone ever tried to model the benefits of going with an unlocked, contract free phone over one tied to a specific carrier with a fixed contract?

I know that a lot of people, here in particularl, find the notion of locked down hardware repugnant, but from a cost/benefit perspective, I have just not seen that much of a problem, personally. I mean, are there usage scenarios with an assumption that you will have continuous approximate service (for the purposes of the iPhone, that would be a voice and data plan) that are common where carrier lock-in is very costly?
and I am discussing the cultural aspects of the people living in that state. If they keep on blaming the tourists then nothing is going to change.
Yes, exactly this issue was discussed last summer and helmet laws declared detrimental for exactly the points laid out in the article.
> I found L.A. far more filthy on average than SF, just less poop everywhere

SF refers to a ~50 square mile area. LA refers to a nearly 5,000 square mile area. Most of LA is far cleaner than SF in every way. There are only a few areas that are comparable.

"Build Systems à la Carte" is not so much ringing a bell as shattering it with the force of its dong.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/0...

To expand, the OP ends with an "ideal world" that sounds to me an awful lot like someone's put the full expressive power of Build Systems à la Carte into a programmable platform, accessible by API.
Check out at least:

* auto

* namespaces

* templates

* lambdas

The standard library is much more useful and expansive than C's.

And if you really care about performance, C++ is the obvious choice (but it does have its pitfalls, I think).
Not sure if this is helpful, but I'll give you my story.

I graduated from my CS undergrad degree in the USA in May of 2020. One of the job offers I had was from a relatively new tech company in Norway, and the offer was for an on-site position in Oslo. They had a booth at a recruiting event at my University (in Texas, if that matters) but I applied online like everyone else. After a couple of interview rounds, the last of which was in-person in Norway (seems surreal given the state of the world now), I received a job offer from them which I ultimately ended up not taking.

At the time of the offer I had two previous technical internships (neither of which were at well-known companies), a solid (>3.5) GPA, and a couple interesting side projects on my resume (e.g. compiler, android app game, NLP course projects). The technical interview portions were all pretty easy compared to what larger US-based tech companies will throw at you, but keep in mind that this was for an entry-level position. No Norwegian language skills were required for the postion.

I was offered the job as a US citizen, and though I had German citizenship (but no passport) at the time, I don't think that factored into me getting the offer. They had other international employees at the office, including one from Brazil, so I figured having citizenship in an EU-member country didn't matter that much. As you may know, Norway isn't in the EU itself but they do have a lot of economic/labor agreements with the EU.

Anyways, the (yearly) salary was something on the order of 590,000 kr or around 63,000 USD at the time, though the value of the Norwegian Krone has increased a good bit since I got the offer near the beginning of the corona economic downturn. As I understand that's about the expected salary for that sort of position in Oslo, so take from that what you will.

I had my own reasons for taking an offer in the US over one in Europe, but hopefully some of this info was helpful.
Several do, the few times I've gone into the office and done a little problem solving with the folks who were there, we accomplished like a week of work in an hour. There's something about putting heads together that's hard to replace. Some of our folks have always been ~90% remote and that's fine, but I think they're missing out on one of the joys of engineering.
I believe jorgebucaran (hyperapp author) was aware of mithril.js' existence and may possibly have been inspired by it, but I don't take credit for hyperscript itself (it was already a concept used by various other systems - the word "hyperscript" itself comes from the name of a project[0], and there were already other similar frameworks like mercury[1] at the time).

For mithril.js specifically, the hyperscript variation offers an extra feature that AFAIK not many other libs do: the ability to write emmett-like CSS expressions as the tag name (e.g. `m('input.required[type=password]')`). Totally understandable if you think that's too much sugar for your lib, but I've found it handy for usage with CSS frameworks like bootstrap. Mithril.js users also appreciate it and some interesting unexpected patterns came out of that (e.g. `const Foo = '.some.tailwind.thing'; <Foo />`)

BTW, funny story: mithril.js partially took inspiration from an ancient library called dōmo[2] which - as it turns out - uses the tags-as-functions pattern.

No problem if you pull your complete mailboxes using a tool like isync/mbsync. I have background jobs, in addition to regular backups, which pull to all my powered on computers every 30m. As long as the source is IMAP, it's very easy to not get screwed. I couldn't care less if my email hoster today would lock me out. I'll point my domain elsewhere and I have all the data as maildirs.
It seems like you're anticipating a divergence (or at least communications gap) between the generally-in-office and generally-remote sets of employees.

Have you considered that it might be the remote employees that are more productive?

The benefits you've stated for in-office work are that you will be more likely to hit the gym, get low-cost healthy food, interact with random non-teammates, and meet in-person, none of which are slam-dunks for the company bottom line.
No, it doesn't, at least not in my country (not the US).

It's a falsehood that often gets repeated. No, COBOL jobs don't pay particularly well. Plus they have the downside of, you know, having to work with COBOL, a horrible programming language. And mostly at banks and financial institutions, the main users of legacy COBOL systems.
You can get much lower debt levels if you don't stay in the expensive dorms (with expensive meal plans) after your freshman year,

As someone who lived off-campus the entire time and regretted it, I do think that spending at least freshman year in dorms is a really good idea to make friends and get to know the school's culture and environment.

if you plan ahead and graduate in 4 years, and if you apply for many local/state scholarships (in my experience the national scholarships are a waste of time).

My advice to my younger self would also be to take more student loans so I wouldn't have to work. I had to work to pay tuition, but working made keeping up with school impossible. Catch 22.
