About five years ago online dating was looked down upon but since then i have been seeing lot of people getting married to people they found online.
Same way finding interesting friends is best done 1-1, as its rhe depth not the breadth of the relationship that matters.
Its the same reason i use [and started] http://letslunch.com and have met over a dozen great people over lunch, Because frankly i don't have time to goto meetups which happens on a specific day and on specific time, wheres in conferences/networking events people are always ought to meet as many people as possible and even while chatting without you, they are peeking over your shoulder to see who they are going to talk next.
Just updated to add the first link. The online LYAH doesn't seem quite identical to the version I have (different chapter titles if nothing else), but it seems to be the same thing. (Wouldn't be surprised they come into total sync over the next few weeks.)

The point about humor is what I tried (poorly, I think) to get across in the line about offsetting the formality. You said it much better. It is more than just a random style choice, it turns out to be a core aspect of the book's approach, I think.

(Linking the competition feels faintly gauche to me, even if I do conclude they are complimentary rather than competitive. YMMV.)
Let me preface this by saying I've been a full time Scala dev for a few years now, and routinely make the choice to use Scala in new projects.

That said, the complaints about Scala's complexity are not overblown in the least. If you ever had the opportunity to move from one Scala team to another, or to integrate 2 Scala teams that had grown independently previously, you see that even saying you are a Scala team does not narrow down significantly what to expect when opening up the code base. There is so much variance in what is and is not idiomatic Scala, that even the Scala standard libraries are a mix of styles and best practices. As for Scala steering you towards the "Right Thing", I'd argue that the Scala community has not settled on what that is (to the point of schism) and my experience indicates that quite the opposite is true.

As far as IDEA achieving parity with Java, the very concept is laughable. Simple things like safe refactorings aren't, and syntax highlighting mistakes and phantom compile errors are common. While the IDE story in Scala has improved dramatically over the years, to say it is Java level is over selling it.
Kind of sad that was actually one of my initial concerns in even seeing this... Of course I get similar concerns wrt the U.S. gov't and Cisco products everywhere...
I barely understand the voodoo magic behind libtool myself, but as PHK says, it "tries to hide the fact that there is no standardized way to build a shared library in Unix". I'd wager dynamic linking inherently poses such quandaries that are easier solved through kludges.

I'm not so sure. I always assumed that the problem with shared libraries was that they hit the mainstream at the height of the "Unix wars", when every vendor was trying to differentiate their own flavor with new features.

I don't think the value in the minor differences between, say, how AIX and Solaris support shared libraries are worth the headache to support them both. In an ideal world there would have been a standard in short order.
> a government that

Government is (usually) made of people. These people all want different things. This is as true as the Chinese government as it is of the US government.

A litany of complaints against the Chinese government can go on and on and on, but it's not (anymore) a single person dictatorship, nor is it an obvious kleptocracy despite robust corruption. Its claim of being a government for and by the people stands up to scrutiny, even if its methods and outcomes are oppressive and aren't democratic.

> rolls tanks against its own citizens

The same way you influence the other one that deploys military-grade/style equipment against its people[1], by attempting to influence members of that government.

Mine, that is.
this is so stupid. we are a startup team from China using Google's Apps service. So far most of mainstream mail provider like 163.com and qq.com can still exchange email with gmail. But without VPN we can't send/receive mails from mobile.
I'm a big proponent of isolating control system networks. If someone has physical access to your facility then the game is already up.

I also quite like the idea of control systems being entirely on FPGA. Don't let any part of your computer be the thing that can stop the state machine. That includes network connections and operating systems.
On about hearing loss by bacterial infections, many medical journals covered this.
You mean kWh/kg. Gen 3 is supposed to be "out" in 2024, but I doubt that means available to regular people. This article says they expect to start with the space industry, which suggests they'll be pretty expensive: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesmorris/2022/04/02/sulfur-b...
Great list but where are the women?
I'm glad to see it's not just me that had this reaction - sounds like a potential source of sexual harassment litigation which is probably why the university in question shut it down in case they were perceived to be complicit by allowing the service to keep running.
Maybe you ought to check Amazon; used Tron DVDs are starting at $99 and VHS tapes at $55. Unless they put out a large number of them, I doubt they would hit the discount bins very quickly.
Nope. PayPal only allows one business account per entity, so while I accept PayPal payments at multiple websites, there's only one primary e-mail address. I use a generic address for PayPal which is not any of my normal mailboxes. I do check it about once a day just in case there's a payment dispute or chargeback I need to handle.
It's not that I'm not accustomed to them or don't know how to use them. It's that I believe they are the embodiment of bad coding practices. They are esoteric shortcuts that make code easy to write and much harder to maintain.

They are here-and-now solutions that ultimately cost more time and effort in the long run.

Because some Perl coder wanted to type

$>

instead of spending a fraction of a second more and type

$EUID

anyone attempting to use that code forever after needs to address the micro meanings of the syntax itself. There's no expressiveness in the syntax, no way to understand the complex meaning of the operator without a reference.

These operators are dramatically different than basic operators. They require much more context and are much less intuitive.

I know the other side of this argument is that it's akin to learning any other syntax of a language. I can understand the argument and I don't disagree. But personally, I find the maintainability of any code drops off a steep cliff once it starts using magic operators.

Personally, I want to deal with finding solutions to problems, not deal with the esoteric symbols that have been arbitrarily associated with some abstract and complex concept.

I know immediately when I look at Ruby's

Process.euid

what we're dealing with.

Not so much when I see

$<

or is it

$>

hmm... let me go look that up...

This is neat, I wish there was a screencast or something of the sort up to recap the major points of this application. Does anybody know from experience how flexible it is for recreating an environment close to your own on any *nix based system?

> The Delicious user community could organize to save the data themselves via a coordinated harvesting project.

This weekend I built Scrapious: a Chrome webapp to export bookmarks from Delicious

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nbahmnpelbdcmkpllm...

The user types in groups of tags and the app downloads the bookmarks associated with those tags.

> The second approach could produce valuable results but would require no shortage of cleverness in order to avoid triggering rate limiters and other abuse mitigation mechanisms.

My app tries to behave well by
- limiting the number of requests to one per second at most
- doing aggressive local caching
- downloading only the first 200 bookmarks per tag group

This last limit is arbitrary; Delicious apparently lets one see at most 2000 bookmarks for any combination of tags (200 pages of 10 bookmarks) but I wanted to be conservative.

The article talks about the value of Delicious' memories; I don't know how to get to the most ancient bookmarks; maybe range queries are possible, or maybe one can sort results by date asc?

(This comment was also posted in the article's comment thread).
Should it be better developed for Minetest? Seems more fitting for the educational effort, since it doesn't attach a price tag for entry.
I don't understand why people say this about Java and C# vs. Python. You can easily write concise code. There will be more lines because of things like brackets and some other simple things, but c'mon, it's not 2005.
What bothers me the most, is the delay in signing the vacine contracts with Pfizer and AstraZeneca.

The US for all the criticism it can take, closed this negotiation in weeks. We spent a whopping 3 months arguing with pharma companies about price and liability before closing these contracts.

There are people dying avoidable deaths while we allowed for this inertia. There are no serious media outlets pushing the European Comission for answers on this failing. There will be no hearing to find a cause for this failing. As a very pro-european citizen this made me very bitter, there could have been a strong EU wide vaccination programme and EU transnational solidarity but instead we see this blunder that will set us back for months probably +1 year of these lockdowns and economic damage.
He compares himself to the nearly-forgotten "hero" scientists. But he really belongs to the ranks of the unknown multitude of almost-successful "forgotten" - the people who spent their lives pursuing their ideas but those ideas were never received well, or popularised.

I keep seeing startups almost succeed. They got everything "right", there's nothing they did wrong, but for some reason it didn't take off. While others don't even get the basics right and yet it soars. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it. Or at least none that I can see.

We don't know why something "goes viral". We can't predict that, can't control it. Just try to make the most of it if it happens to us.

There's a vast pool of people all trying to do things, in every discipline. For reasons we (and they) don't understand, some of them "succeed" and are popularised. We hear about them. The rest are mostly ignored. We don't hear about them. There's nothing we can particularly identify as making an individual succeed or not. Like everything in life, the process doesn't care about individuals. It's the genetic approach - spread the population over a large area and let the successful ones survive to the next generation. The rest of them die bitterly regretting their failure in blog posts.
The full quote is:

>And the people who talk about “Nice Guys” – and the people who enable them, praise them, and link to them – are blurring the already rather thin line between “feminism” and “literally Voldemort”

It's clear that the 'literally Voldermort' phrase is intended to apply at least to "the people who talk about 'Nice Guys'" (and given the 'already', to plenty of other feminists too).

The NYT said that Scott had used this phrase with respect to 'some feminists'. That is 100% accurate. Especially when you consider that the post the quote is taken from references specific feminist writers.
The problem is absolutely solvable to a large extent. Where we get stuck is in the decision as to which solution to take. We have to pick a solution, and we are unfortunately stuck in democracy-powered limbo and deadlock where we can't reach consensus. Each of the solutions have pros, cons, and some groups have ideological or moral objections to various combinations of the solutions, not to mention existing legal and moral frameworks that gimp them.

Socio-economic science is rife of p-hacking. The vast majority of those studies are not reproducible. Your argument would be stronger if you'd choose a different example. I would assume that most studies on UBI are done by strong supporters of it which introduces enough subconscious bias to make them problematic.

In the medical area (testing medications) history is full of wrong studies either by negligence or just by greed.

"Trust the science" is never a good argument as being to general. I'd trust most of the science in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Apart from those there are too many shenanigans.

In the eyes of the law, sure it's not the right framing. But I'm looking at what I think makes sense for the future. I think our cities would be better with more cyclists and less cars.

I don't think that's accomplished by encouraging equal use of roadways. I think that means space currently designated for cars should be reduced to make way for other modes of transportation.
A rowdy unarmed (not a single firearm) mob is not an “insurrection”. I’m not condoning what happened, but can we please stop using hyperbolic language?
Thanks; I appreciate a lot that you qualified what you said, and gave a justification for why your perspective is broadly true, rather than just assert a negative as a universal.

I was mistaken. I didn't know that FAANGs (and likely similar) mostly do comp in this specific way that is different from other comp structures I've interacted with or known of, even despite interning at Google myself, and having friends work there and at others similar, whom I've discussed comp with at length.

Somehow this point about stock grant structure has just never come up, and I've personally experienced the opposite, so I felt the strength of the assertion was unwarranted -- but anyway, I'm glad to learn it!
I don't think mimicking a real phone as closely as possible is the intent
If I remember correctly, 'The Halo effect' by Rosenzweig has a pretty critical retrospective on these two books.
Oh, interesting question. I would chalk it up to three factors:

1) Genetics. I've always been one of those hopelessly enthusiastic and energetic people. (In contrast, a lot of my fellow writers suffer from serious depression, so getting the energy/motivation to write can be a huge obstacle.)

2) Almost dying a few times. As cliche as it is, it puts life into perspective and makes you feel tiny and relatively unimportant. I don't stress about my "legacy" like most writers I know, so it makes the whole process of writing way less stressful. It's all just good fun for me.

3) Using strict timed-writing and structured word count goals. A lot of writers are haunted by thoughts like, "Oh god, I have to finish an entire novel, and it's due in just three months!" For me, that thought process is, "I only have to write 750 words today to meet my weekly 3500 word goal."

4) I ain't famous. :) It's much easier to not stress when you're not thinking to yourself, "Am I going to get literal hate mail from my 50,000 adoring fans for including this plot twist?"
I don't think version control has anything to do with it.

If there were a highly compelling and productive general purpose visual language, storing the data as text, and even providing tools to aid in things like merge conflicts, would be minor details. But when you actually dig into things like (the excellent) Prograph and its descendents, you find out that shapes and lines are actually less intuitive than text for nontrivial code bases. Contrary to what one might expect, a picture is not worth a thousand words.

Perhaps a new visual paradigm will be introduced that changes things, but there's really nothing today that competes with even your least favorite popular text based language.

I really hope the republicans can clean up their act and become a reasonable choice again.

That being said, I think they will need to prove their commitment to reasonable governance as the minority for the better part of a decade before I am willing to seriously consider them again.

Trump cheated in 2016. No one could doubt he would try to cheat in 2020. Why would it be unjustified to cheat to make sure his cheating didn't succeed a second time?

How are these people risking their livelihood any more than any other group engaged in criminal activity, like people cooking the books for banks? Why would they expect the democrat local district or city attorney to come after them? Why would they expect their fellow lifelong committed Democrats to turn on them, ever?

The officials in these cities could only influence the elections for us representatives that represent their congressional district, which are seats that Democrats always win anyway. They could only meaningfully influence Senate races, which many believe they did in at least two states, and gubernatorial or other statewide races, of which there were none this cycle in the 6 contested states.
Not having to read about Pack and Ajit Pai’s is one of thing things I am most looking forward to.
So what happens when one day, on the way to school, a temporal accident sends your daughter and several other kids to the far future, to a time when people primarly interact with computers using voice input?

The command line kids will adapt more easily than the GUI kids. The GUI kids will probably end up as tavern wenches in the Orion sector, or working in the beryllium mines.

Don't let your daughter end up in the beryllium mines. Teach her the command line.
I agree, I am just speculating to why Microsoft did what it did. :)

I also think it's particularly sad that Windows 10 had a perfectly good EPUB app, Reader, that Microsoft deprecated aggressively to force everyone to read eBooks in Edge... only to remove eBook support from Edge too.
What is your system for keeping all of these notes. Do you just have a git repo for everything?
Not just sexual violence, but sec in general. It's more of a punishment to be locked up and not having sex than if you were free to have sex (even homosexual activity is not allowed in prisons). I think another reason for the gender segregation is to prevent pregnancies.
This is a problem frequently complained about with language package managers: huge amounts of unvetted code which is just pulled in without being reviewed. This allows the work of vetting the code to be distributed and used by the average developer.

In a society you agree to rules. One of them might be that someone puts a vaccine shot in your arm. The concept of rights is given you by the society.

I thought I was being pretty clear in what I’m saying should exist: a plan by the organisations involved in the delivery of the vaccine. The BBC is not one of those organisations or a Government department.

That article is very light on detail for the under 50s, which is exactly my point. It sources the covid delivery plan which hasn’t been updated since Jan.
Books are often typeset by competent people (or at least people who are enough to have opinions on typesetting) while the web is usually the result of middle management and marketing seeing you as the dumb thing keeping some metric too low.

Magazines are their own thing although typically this does apply to the actual articles themselves; Someone who knows what they're doing lays them out.
And a license.
Okay, but I feel like the same question applies.

Why do you assume that you know more about these concepts (in social situations) than others you encounter do.

But actually that assumes incompetence, you're actually suggesting malice if you say they are just trying to show off how woke/smart they are.

If they are incompetent, why do you assume malice?

And why does using the buzzwords suggest incompetence if the language is the same as the academics. How can you know these people aren't well educated on the subject.

Remember, your thesis was that you ignore these people outright when they use these buzzwords. But you also admit academics use the same ones.

Unless you want to pay for the business plan with a CNAME Setup[0], you do need to use their DNS offering, even if the rest of your site's DNS records are 'unproxied'. If you just want to try tunnels at all, with a non-descript hostname, Tunnel gives out subdomains that end in trycloudflare.com[1].

If you're referring to the TOS issue that is often discussed here, it depends on what that subdomain is, since Cloudflare doesn't just want to be pushing binary data for free. If the subdomain is some website that is primarily used in the browser, CF will generally be fine leaving it up even if you push TBs a day, but if it's just a file host CF has been known to flag that for abuse and disable proxying for the domain[2]. As for why they bother with a free plan with such cryptic rules, their S1 explains it[3].

General Aviation is in totally different situation than what Tesla is doing. GA is so over-regulated that we're flying decades old small planes as it is financially not feasible to bring something new to market and have it certified. Progress is mostly done on experimental/ultra-light planes. Those suffers similar issue as they are limited to certain weight and even feasible safety features often can't be added due to weight limits.
On the other side of safety spectrum you have Tesla that is pushing something-like-autonomous-driving software to common people to try out on real streets.
