From what you mentioned, your childhood tachycardia looks more like a symptom/result of some allergic reaction.

> When I exercise it almost immediately goes to the very high 100s, and sometimes to 200 after strenuous exercise

At age 31, "immediately goes to the very high 100s" - if you go above 140 fairly quickly and you are not in endurance sports, it is concerning. You should consult a cardiologist when times get normal. Typically athletes involved in endurance sports also have lower than normal Rhr.

> in terms of seeking care early

For Covid19, because of its scale, you can't do much other than vaguely understanding the line of treatment and going to the hospital when symptoms appear. Do not think: "I will give it one more day". 90% covid19 infected people do not need a ventilator. When in doubt, get a test done. But note that the tests may result into a false negative if you appear without the symptoms. Do not panic. For future doctor visit, keep a fever record with time and comment any progression of symptoms. Stay hydrated and get enough rest.
At a previous job there was no "blessed" app. We used Mac/Win/Linux and different apps seemed to work better depending on the situation (screen sharing, group chat, one-on-one video chat). Not only in resource usage, but if you had more than one open I'd see issues with sharing resources like video and audio.
Some games do have voice control - Rainbow Six: Vegas on the Xbox 360 allows you to give order to your computer controlled teammates.
But then left/right would be banking.
I am sorry but the author of this article hasnt even performed basic research. He is completely bullshitting about Media Lab. Media Lab has created Scratch programming language which is actively being used by many kids in large number of schools around world.

Sad to see such as stupid article.

One easy way: for the moment, have him confirm sending an email by another "more reliable" channel like phoning you.

After all, if he's telling the truth, he'll want to confirm this is happening since that is a first step in diagnosing the problem.
> The only thing I miss about installations, as a developer, is the ability to drop an icon on the desktop.

The thing I love about web apps is not having to worry about an installation dialog where I must be on the lookout for the program trying to place icons on my desktop, start menu, or elsewhere.
I'm in Vilnius. What's purpose of meetup?
You might have already thought of the following, but here is a couple of ways:

1. Offer a lite version which is free, and try marketing that and leveraging on those users to upgrade to a paid app

2. Approach iPhone app review sites and pitch the app to them for a review. (you might also consider advertising in these app review sites to begin with and to gauge the initial response)

I agree with you that blowing away your hard earned money on a big marketing spree might not be a wise decision. So, starting off with a smaller site and watching the initial reactions would give you more confidence on what to do next.

All the best :)
1) AI is supposed to be "good programming".

2) Google actually learns from your behavior as you search.
It also constantly learns by crawling web.

Hence: AI.

Thanks for the reply, really enjoying the discussion. What I had in mind is a particular case I heard of, Chaitin's Omega, which can't even be approximated arbitrarily by a fixed algorithm. But still that number seems useful to study it's properties as a number.

Expanding further, that's an issue I've had with definitions of computability also. Certain problems like the halting problem are extremely interesting but their non-computability sort of turns them dead. Approximating them even to a finite degree and studying them profoundly seems very worthwhile, from a practical and theoretical standpoint.
I spent 3 weeks there and there was multiple areas with free wifi in the Poblado and the malls, I don't think it's any less prevalent than in the US or Canada.
I was definitely carrying my laptop around for that.
But I would say the issue with carrying your laptop is more around security. The city is much better than before, like those stories tell you, but I still don't feel secure like I would in North America so for me I felt a bit worried carrying my laptop around.
Eh.

References or comparisons to Hitler are nearly always a lazy appeal to emotion made because the speaker is unable or unwilling to provide any better way of stating their position. And that kind of argument often gets made as a discussion over a contentious drags on and one side or the other is eager to just "win" the debate.

And, of course, you know who else thought people and things should be taken out back and shot...
I'd love another source for this story, with the information presented clearly and not in the unreadable gonzo NYT style.

I try to sleep in three hour chunks; I find that that's my natural cycle, so six hours is better for me than 7.5. I usually go to sleep around 10 and wake up around 5.
Right - no argument there. I buy X and get Y, that's breech of contract (for demonstrably different/inferior Y).

But I'm asking a slightly different question. I'm operating from a definition of "net neutrality" as "non-discrimination of all kinds of bits flowing through internet wires/beams/tubes." And my question is: what stops VeriComAO&T from selling internet service defined as 2kbps of Netflix and 75gbps of CrapVideo(tm brought to you buy VCA&T)? What guarantees/enforces that kind of net neutrality, if not laws or regulations?
Here is my favorite Bible verse related to programming. I subtitle it, "God, calling a function."

Available for part-time or full-time contract work, preferably on a long-term basis, but I'm also available for smaller projects.

I am very flexible with my working hours (mostly working with clients from USA).
I am a full-stack developer with more than 8 years of professional experience mostly in the C# .NET stack as a freelance developer. I don't shy away from the DevOps and DBA parts of the project either. I also like to create beautiful UI's that users love.

I prefer a long-term contract, but I'm also available for smaller projects.

I also work through Toptal. My CV is available on my toptal profile and my website.

My rate is $125/hour.
This is just like one of those 'support our troops' stickers that were all over the USA.

> I just assume that they're serving.

That doesn't mean they are serving our collective best interests. They might very well be acting against those interests while they think they are serving them.

Vietnam vets are a particularly bad example to bring up here (and I know a couple of them that are very outspoken in this regard), they were fed a line and used and plenty of them still live with the guilt and horrors of that today.

To serve some masters blindly is quite dangerous for ones mental health especially in the longer term.

Calling Snowden not a 'true whistleblower' makes me wonder what it would take for you to consider anybody a whistleblower.

I think you're making this too abstract to be understood without having already seen the light, perhaps an example would help?
be careful with it tho. it also depends on the reasons why project is popular. for example, wordpress is popular is because it is so easy to setup and bring to life for person with little to no technical knowledge. but other side of the medal is that code you see contributed by community often will be of very low quality. Same applies to javascript frameworks, and I bet, to hardware too (although I don't have example for hardware of top of my head)
Haskell and OCaml aren't really that old. I'm thinking ML and Lisp, scheme, which don't focus on immutability.

Both clojure and haskell have mutability, just at differing granularities (haskell monads, clojure replace the world object). They can do it with referential transparency though (which is probably your meaning, obviously pure immutability is impossible and not sensical).
To me, that explains why Etsy has trouble with new tools and languages - they can't hire the developers it'd take to successfully run a project outside of the tools they are used to.

Analogously, if you promote by external hiring, you hemorrhage the kind of employee you'd want to promote internally. If you always stay in a particular sandbox, you lose the kind of employee that can work outside it.

The actual number (10x) does not have to be taken literally. There is an underlying truth (in my experience) that not all engineers are equal and that some of them consistently contribute significantly more than others.
This is offensive. They would have to wait at least a day for their transaction to be settled on the chain.
> more institutions will find ways to block it

You could detect and block Tor traffic by blocking the exit node IPs. They provide an API that lets you get all exit node IPs so that you could block them: https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist

They are putting no effort in making this hard for site admins.
Setting up a rogue AP and sniffing traffic is not a hypothetical attack, it's fairly easy and people really do it.

Minor beatings from angry guys with guns.
I struggle with placing items like my iPhone on the bed for 2 reasons: 1) althoughly likely harmless (not convinced, but it's prob true) my mind worries about having my cell phone at head level and so close while I sleep with radiation, and 2) since I know something is on the bed, it affects my feeling of space around me and contributes to poor sleep. Interesting how suggestive your own mind can be.
Find it interesting, too. 'We need a dedicated person with lots of experience to work full time with uncertain perspectives on a problem that unknown "we" who probably have done nothing before believe has lots of potential. We will probably have money some time in the future too'.

Maybe they are betting on curiosity? :)
Seems like this has been done before: http://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/2010/experimenting-with-node-js/

Using Node.js. The node js example even provides the code to replicate it. Is this person using node or some other websocket approach?
That's like saying "Why make the iPhone when everyone's already happy with their Motorola Razrs"
This is the exception for sure. Word is that the problem is with the datacenter their boxes are in (Hurricane Electric). Of course, ultimately this could cause customer loss for them, so it becomes their issue.
"somehow work could get through AT&T, who I thought controlled my phone"

And that is the problem. Your phone is controlled by someone else. It's not really your phone.
I routinely write plain-text with my clients and stakeholders - they like cucumber. I could not show them Steak. When working with end users Cucumber works really really well for me.

However, the idea of Steak on projects where I'm the stakeholder, or only developers are working on a team, seems like a nice idea because it is less maintenance.
Have they broken your SLA?
It depends on your projects needs. I built a music visualizer in Unity, and have no idea how I would of done this in Unreal. It was a small project, and I'm already using it to make videos. My biggest issue with Unreal is how hard anything is outside of Blueprints. C++ is much harder than C#, for my project I both load audio files locally ( you select your own music to play), and download some from a server. I'm pretty sure this is impossible without writing code.

If Unreal allowed for Python scripting that would make it much more appealing. I've never worked on a big project in Unity, I'm not sure what issues arise then.

Again, it depends on your needs. I do think most people are better off learning to program with C# over using Blueprints. Ether way your going to need to invest a significant amount of time learning. If you learn C# you'll be able to easily get a job even if it's not in gaming( this is what I did, and it's worked very well for me). I'm not sure what job learning Blueprints will get you.

The visualizer:

>It sure sounds like their interests are not well-aligned with those of the company owners

I don't understand what you mean. Who do you think the owners of Twitter are?

As far as I know, the vast, vast majority of shares are held by "institutions". The top ten funds owning shares in Twitter are index funds that mostly either buy the "total market" or the S&P 500.

If Twitter suddenly and completely vaporized tomorrow, these funds would have about a tenth of a percent headwind for that day. Nobody holding them for retirement would notice.

Really, I think it would make sense to say that the interests of the company owners are not aligned with Twitter.

Which is a good thing if you care about the rest of society and don't, for instance, want to contribute to the destruction of democracy to make a bit more profit.
It's actually important to have difficult or impossible goals. They are guidelines or north stars used for navigation. It helps make short term decisions that trend in the right long term direction.
maybe depression?
I think ignoring it is more likely. Imagine instead every jurisdiction enacting similar unique laws. You'd have ~25 things to comply with.
,, Macintoshes are moving towards being jails, like the iMonsters. It's getting harder for users to install even their own programs to run them.''

I feel this all the time, especially on my iPad Pro: I'm buying much more idevices than before, because I don't like the direction Windows has taken, and Apple gets always the newest TSMC slots (I buy the newest products from TSMC, they just happen to be made together with Apple).
I remember seeing a website here that let you create prepaid cards that you could use for things like this. I'm not sure if you were able to refill the balance on them though, but it would be convenient to be able to just let them attempt to charge an empty debit card.
I liked your framing of version control requiring a culture of encouraging admission of failure.

I'd never looked at it that way, and it succinctly describes why the least devops-mature organizations I've worked with have been those that heavily penalize any admission of failure. And vice versus.
Never, ever use a safe deposit box at banks:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/business/safe-deposit-box...
I like most of this except the not supporting XML thing. Support both or just XML. There's just too much stuff out there already using XML that any big project already has the libraries, whereas JSON maybe not. So it's just more convenient to most people.
I think Apple does that on purpose, they never seem to have more than about 3 choices for their devices (the paradox of choice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice)

2 sizes of iPod Nanos (you also pick the color)

3 sizes of iPod touches

3 sizes of iPhones (+ pick color)

3 15inch MacBook pros (+ 2 13inch and 1x 17inch)

It seems once you have made some basic choices like screen size or color you are down to 3 choices fairly spaced in price which equate to small, medium or large.
Why would you defend it unless you had a vested interest in doing so?

Because I have a longstanding, passionate interest in making software which can be used by people who do not make software. If your software requires package management, they can't use it. If your software requires configuration, they can't use it. If your software requires consent or notification, they either a) click right past without reading it or b) can't use it because they process anything longer than one sentence as "The scary box is showing me an error message."

Let me give you an example, taken straight from Ubuntu/Firefox. Firefox depends on ubuntu-desktop, a meta-package. Ubuntu-desktop contains, among other things, ure.

Do you really want to show my aunt -- who thinks Firefox is called "the Google" -- "Firefox requires installing a piece of software called 'ure' on your computer. Think carefully whether you consent to installing 'ure'."

[Install Ure] [Don't Install Ure] <-- P.S. My aunt does not understand this will cause her to fail at what she is trying to do.

There are several dozen other packages to run through, too.

My aunt is not capable of making that decision. She doesn't know what ure is. Hell, I don't even know what ure is (+), and it is my business to know things like this. It is her business to teach high schoolers and she has told you she wants to use Firefox to do it. Make it happen and get out of her way.

+ On checking with the Googles, I have discovered it is an OpenOffice run-time component. Duh, why didn't I think of that.
If the bartender notices that a patron is an alcoholic, have they no moral duty to change away from a stance of "this is purely commerce", perhaps cut that patron off? Is a bartender completely without any responsibility to look for such patrons?

Remember, morality is not limited to legality. It can be both more lenient and more strict.
You have a very low opinion of users, but you have a very high confidence in their knowledge of what is installed on their computers. Even the assumption that they intentionally installed the toolbar to begin with is unwarranted. As you say, most people with Firefox likely never open IE. So they likely didn't even know this toolbar was installed.
Please DO NOT have at the bottom of the post "What do you guys think?"
Most laptop manufacturers constantly update the hardware that is in each model. When they do this they change a number or a letter somewhere.

Apple only updates the hardware in its machines about once a year. You could spend $1300 on a new laptop only to learn the following week that Apple is now selling a significantly better machine for that same price.

Traditionally Apple has appealed more on the basis of emotion and design rather than hardware specs per dollar.

Most people don't care what video card is in their laptop, so Apple's approach seems to be better. The danger to Apple is that people would put off purchases while waiting for the newer model. This surely occurs, but to date Apple has offered enough other advantages (case design, OS design) to minimize the impact of this on sales. The commodity PC firms compete only on the basis of hardware, so a few hundred megahertz or gigabytes make a difference in their ability to differentiate.

I just imagine a pinprick of light emanating from a point. The place where light is only exiting, not entering, is a point with no dimensions.
IIRC, Amazon took something like 6 years to turn a profit. Its success is built off the hubris of investors at the time. Their business model was to sell everything at a lost to build up the brand, than assume profits will come later. In hindsight I doubt it's an event that can be repeated.
If it was pure energy and of no mass for a moment, I could imagine that there would be no gravity and therefore a possible lack of dimension?

Then hydrogen atoms form and you've got mass and then gravity.
I go along with magic tricks because I want to fulfill the illusion, not break it. It's the polite thing to do.
Flux is an idea, there's multiple implementations because they optimize for different concerns.

For example, I like Fluxible because it lets you do server side rendering, and it avoids singletons, so it's exceptionally easy to test.

However, if I'm working on an app that doesn't have any public facing components, I'd probably consider a different implementation that is less verbose.
I agree completely. And believe it or not, I went back to Windows. Sort of. I'm testing the waters. My big issue is iTunes. Yeah I drank the kool-aid and now have an iTunes library of about 100GB. Despite how much I hate what iTunes has become at least is runs on Windows.

Also, it's easier to "turn features off" in Windows than OSX these days. I'm sad about it though. But after 14 years on Mac I'm done. It was the upgrade to 10.10 that finally pissed me off enough to leave.

By the way, anyone know of a good terminal app for Windows? Not too crazy about Powershell. I have been using Git Bash and that's decent so far.
I created Taskfort for iOS after getting rejected by a couple of company interviews for not having enough iOS experience (I'm trying to become a mobile engineer). That kind of stunk so I figured to stay positive and just build up my resume by making a new project.

Besides Trello, there really wasn't a free good kanban app.

Additionally, the app can connect to your self-hosted instance of Taskfort if you so choose (check out www.taskfort.com). I tried to keep my UX fairly simple and I hope you guys enjoy it! It doesn't have all the features of the Web Portal integrated yet but I figured it was a good start.

If anyone knows of any iOS positions out East (preferably NYC or Boston... or remote?) let's connect: contact@taskfort.com
This is still the first place I look when I'm trying to remember what bits and pieces go where in building a #lang.
Today's chickens have more muscle mass. They are bred for this trait.

Are you arguing this larger muscle isn't made of protein? What is it made out of then?

Are you arguing these chickens somehow survive without the nutrients that others chickens need to live? How is that possible?

Those are some pretty tall claims you need to back up.
As appealing as the opportunities appear, my naive guess is that "neat" is superseded by "regulated" but this makes me wonder... while finances are about as graphically personal as information can be, the optimization potential for billions of people, each with hundreds of choices, is astounding.

How could this computation be performed locally, in a directly parallel device, and in a way that protects the consumer? How about smart (real: assistive AI) cards as a disruptive technology?
