When will we stop thinking in terms of "How things look through my glasses". I.E. My glasses have red tint, so the whole world looks red. Your glasses have a green tint, so likewise, the world is green to you.

Some identify their car as feminine, as in, "She's fast, I tell you what!". Others identify their vehicles as masculine, "This guy right here, he can do 0-60 in under 6 seconds!"

The part that bugs me is when you are wearing red glasses and you tell me the world is red, even though I have green ones and tell you with (my own) certainty that it is not. In reality, these definitions shift all the time, as does your eye-wear (tomorrow I'm thinking of wearing blue glasses) as the combination of properties that make you YOU evolve.

Gender can be like glasses sometimes. While our perceptions are a complicated combination of all sorts of properties, i.e. "I'm male with blue glasses who grew up in California." + 1,000,000 * otherThings... wearing blue glasses is a common denominator. So, yes, when you only cite female sources, and you are talking about hard to measure concepts like the quality a word implies (where quality is based on perception), it’s very easy to reason that something like “Maker” can have both gender and classism baked in.

Luckily, due to this same phenomenon, tomorrow the author may review her article and think, “My that was a silly argument”. Likewise, I may do the same.
Does Postereous not support SPF?

SPF tells you that the email really came from my server. That the email really came from my server tells you that it's really me, as sending through my server requires a password.

Sadly SPF is grossly underused.
Is there not a way to replay the video once it's offline?
A tangential question: why haven't chip designers decided to use the extra transistors for more complex operations? Call it Hyper-CISC, if you will. We've seen it to a certain extent with MMX extensions and the like, but how much could we speed up operations if we could take pieces of the chip, introduce redundancies for more elaborate instructions, something like the old VAXes?
If your classes are teaching you things you already know take different classes.

I knew a guy who was an amazing programmer. Wrote his own operating system and did projects like real-time ray tracing and speech recognition while in high school. He decided to get his degree in physics specifically because he felt he already knew most of the CS stuff, but didn't know a lot about physics. His line of thought was why go to school to learn something you already know when there are so many things you don't know that they can teach you? That always struck me as a very clever way to look at things, and I've often wondered why more people who complain about how "easy" their CS courses are don't do the same.
What's so bad about it? I use it for native OSX development with C++ and I have found it very useful, particularly with integration into Instruments for monitoring memory usage, network usage, thread behaviours, as well as the static code analysis for finding dead stores, memory leaks, pointless bits of code etc. (very useful!)

The navigation bar makes navigating the projects easy enough, plus I have added steps in the script sections for builds to package up 3D models/resources into the app, set dylib target references, bundle resources into the executable etc.

Finding where functions are called (callers and callees) from the quick menu is a lifesaver too. I find that I miss the back/forward buttons when I use anything else for editing.

As the project is quite large I could not possibly imagine doing this in a text editor.
Technically you can offload CPU-heavy things to a cluster of extra Node processes that handle work in a serial fashion. Nothing wrong with this; if you're comfortable with Javascript then this is probably better than rewriting those parts in different languages.
Looking for feedback on the gameplay/style of the game, please.

Also any suggestions for making a 'Full version' more worth it to the end-user...

'Story' tweaks or suggestions too :)

Thanks for answering my question. Would you mind clarifying it for me?

If your blog has a reusable template, wouldn't the images, fonts, and stylesheets that are part of the template get cached on the user's computer, regardless of whether it was dynamic or static?

Or are you talking about caching things serverside?
I remember reading (can't find a reference now) that when Japanese engineers acquired their first western steamship and copied it, their first version included copies of seams from the repairs that had been made on the original's boiler.

IIRC the story was cast as a "look how methodical Japanese people are" kind of thing, but IMO it was totally logical to copy everything perfectly -- they didn't yet know all of the details of how it worked, so they didn't know what was relevant and what wasn't. Later versions, once they'd experimented a bit, could strip things down.

(If anyone does have a reference, or knows that the story is an urban legend, I'd love to know.)
Fair enough, but for the record it's at least 10 MB (try starting up Python and import your list of modules).

The environment variable handling and other stuff could perhaps be handled in a separate bash-script (or Python), such that the scope of the actual reaper is sufficiently small (to use a lower-level language).
So registering a dropped domain is domain squatting? Like sleeping with a woman which is not a virgin or something?
There's a difference between a new cotton gin technology which does one thing well and a general purpose robot which can be trained to do lots of things well.

We're moving from machines which are better than humans at specific tasks to machines which are better than humans at general categories of tasks.

This is a fundamentally different situation. The new jobs that are created will also be filled by robots/software.

So then what?
Actually there was severe unemployment during industrialization, it destroyed the lives of many families.
>What we need to think about is not how to get people employed, it's how to redistribute wealth so that what you earn is not somehow morally related to the job you're holding.

Tell me again why you deserve to profit from my hard work? Or why I deserve to profit from your hard work? Shouldn't we both just profit from our own work?

This isn't to say I don't think we shouldn't help those less fortunate than ourselves. I try to give a decent amount to charity, but I don't think for a minute that everyone should get paid the same. If you don't provide any benefit to society you shouldn't be as well off as people who provide enormous benefit to society.
I just maintain my own small custom list, all automatic lists are disabled. Ads are OK unless they are animated, IMHO. Flash is totally out of course. In fact I think I am doing these advertisers a favor since I do keep a mental list of who not to buy from, that list includes folks who have animated and flash ads (and those who advertise on Fox News, but that is a different story).

So I usually just block ads that are really obnoxious. Every few months I review the list and remove any entry that was filtered less than 10 times or so.

That has two advantages. First I get to control what is filtered, and second it prevents that list from growing so much.
>> But C, holy shit, C? You'd write a program in C?

Most of the worlds software rides on the back of C. Pick a language, the runtime is probably written in C. Any high performance libraries are either in C or C++ (QT anyone?) and for numerics you may still find <gasp> Fortran. If performance is a requirement or running on a micro controller, you're going to have some C or you fail to get the best performance. That said, stuff like string processing sucks in C - some say that's why C++ was invented.
I saw the post title and instantly thought of the Pomodoro Technique. A free ebook is available describing the technique in more detail (linked as a source from Wikipedia): http://baomee.info/pdf/technique/1.pdf - a bit more detail for others who are interested:

The goal of this technique is to drive interruptions to zero - during solo (IC) work. It's one of the best techniques I've learned for improving focus and squeezing the maximum value out of each minute.

How it works: set a timer for 25 minutes (a "pomodoro"), and then work without any interruption on your project. If you get interrupted for any reason, cancel the timer and start over. When the 25 minutes is up, optionally take a 5 minute break (recommended) and start again. Take a note of finished and canceled pomodoros.

Focus solely on your work, whatever it is. If you find yourself doing anything else, cancel. Interruptions include internal interruptions, such as "I'll just head to news.ycombinator.com or open email for a moment". Nope. If you find yourself doing it: cancel, start over. External interruptions: "I'm in the middle of something - can I follow up with you in <25> minutes?" (if the conversation goes any longer than that, restart)

Some of the benefits of the system (in my opinion):

(1) Helps you become aware of distractions, so as to better combat them.

(2) Helps you have a grounded view of your own capabilities. How much focused, productive time do you consistently have in a day? Try the Pomodoro technique and find out.

(3) On a larger time scale, by measuring your complete and failed pomodoros daily, helps you become aware of factors that impact your focus (sleep, etc.)

(4) Gamification can provide a minor incentive and sense of progress.

(5) The approach is especially good at taking advantage of small units of time. When not using the system, one is tempted simply to 'waste' a block of 30 minutes leading up to a meeting, for example. When in the flow of using Pomodoro regularly, you know that you can simply complete "one promodoro", which is a useful unit of work. You set the timer, get to work, and forget about the meeting until the timer "wakes you" out of flow.

I would highly recommend it - not necessarily as a system that a person would pick up and continue to use for the rest of their life, but as a technique that one learns and experiments with, gaining some insight in a self-discovery process. Perhaps a person will use it on an ongoing basis, but even they you don't, the experience will likely have been worthwhile.

The mental discipline required is similar to that needed for meditation. A lot of folks who try out the technique are surprised at how much internal distraction they cause themselves, just by spontaneously opening a browser, email, phone, etc., after having worked for only a few minutes. (Anecdotes from sharing and discussing the technique with colleagues.) Suppressing this behavior can take practice and force-of-will like quieting your mind does during meditation.
I'm still surprised that Pascal has such little midshare with something like Lazarus.

“It's basically my perfect version of Javascript. No need to fumble with libraries like immutable.js, no need for additional libraries like ramda or lodash because the standard clojurescript library has everything+.”

This pretty much my view as well. There’s that classic joke comparing two books on JavaScript, the complete language vs. the good parts [0], and you could pretty much just replace the “good parts” book with ClojureScript.

It has everything you need and gets rid of most of the stuff that enables people to write bad code. (Assuming you like functional programming, of course)

I have one office-hottie. My wife.
I'm trying to give the author the benefit of the doubt. The tone of the piece has a definite "buzz off, newbie, unless you're ready to go HARD CORE" tone to it. He might not realize that because he's not a native English speaker and isn't swimming around in North American culture.

Maybe that was his intention, maybe it wasn't. Maybe he thought he was just "telling it like it is".

Maybe you disagree that the article has that tone. If so, I'd politely suggest that the way the tone presents to someone used to "programming culture" might be different than it presents to someone outside, someone unsure about their place in that culture.

Let me put it this way. I spent a lot of my time and energy finding people of all ages and backgrounds who have decided that programming is for other people and convincing them it doesn't have to be. This article makes my job harder.

Compare it to this:

> Some people will tell you programming is easy, other people will tell you programming is hard. Most of the time that's a reflection of how they felt or how they think other people should feel, not how it will feel for you.

> Forget easy or hard. Will it take a lot of effort to become really good? Yes. The question is whether that effort is worth it for you. The only way you'll find out is if you give it a shot.

> With the right effort, you _will_ learn to program. It can be for you if you want it. Let's figure out together whether this is exciting for you. If it is and you put in the work, I'll be there to help you go farther than you thought possible.

None of this "gatekeeper" or "diversity card" nonsense. Talk to the person as a person. Don't talk about your favorite abstract bugaboos as it relates to that person.
See also Justin B Rye’s more in-depth criticism of Star Trek, from a slightly different perspective: http://jbr.me.uk/trek/0.html

> My basic theme is the cracks in Star Trek's foundations. … Yes, television is a low‐IQ medium; it's easier to rely on action and special effects than on clever plots. But that needn't stop them making the background plausible.

Of course, Stross’s article goes some way towards explaining why these foundations have so many cracks in the first place.
90% is pretty close to the 50 days of empty battery. Keep in mind that on empty battery days, you still produce some energy as well.

My approach was very very simple: if production is higher than consumption, store energy. Energy storage is limited, so when the stroage is full, energy is lost. If consumption is higher then production, take the difference from the battery.

I have not considered any smart usage patterns or any advanced concepts at all.

Also keep in mind that this ignores transport an heat. Pure electricity was what I looked at and that is somewhat around one third of the total energy used in Germany.
>I think while the energy density has doubled

Has it really ? I remember the same mAh ratings or slight bumps in phones for many generations. 2016 Samsung galaxy s7 had 3000mah battery - latest ones have like 3700mah ? There have been larger batteries in bigger phones - but I'd like to have a 6000mah battery in a normal form factor.

The only doubling I see is in 10 year period, but phone size grew considerably in that time as well.

And smart watch batteries still suck no matter the price range.
Any job that doesn’t holistically build your skill set (antithetical to a career). As in, the money is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. If you stock Shampoo on a shelf, and you can’t flip that into something useful, it’s a worthless job.

It’s better to get paid $0 being in the right field for a bit than actually being paid in the wrong path. It’s negative money unless you are using it to pivot into the right path via education.

Which brings me to an aside, College for many people is a good example of a dead-end job. Not only did you not get paid, but someone also took your money wasting your time down a trail that many people pivot out of (your Classics majors that switch to Dev, congrats on paying to be led astray for 4 years).

But software can also be a dead end job if you chased the money and went off the trail of the path you should have kept investing in.

All this shit takes vision honestly.
Training with the n-back task (a memory game) has been shown in some studies to improve performance in other cognitive tasks.

Neat! I'd wondered about that but didn't have the time to try.
I think you missed the point of the parent comment. If there's two ways of doing the same thing, and one way is clearly more efficient, there's no reason not to do it the efficient way. Get in the habit, and you won't even waste brainpower thinking about it. 99% of the time it might not make a difference, but for that 1% you're ahead. You're also covered if a change somewhere else causes your code to be executed a lot more often than you expected it to be.
Is the problem the "size" of the gland? My girlfriend has a boston terrier that "expresses their anal gland" enough that I know what that means. I'm curious what exactly you are suggesting. (I know very little of the animal world.)
Let me rephrase.

There is ample evidence of complexity emerging from simplicity without the obvious, direct, and quantifiable involvement of governing intelligence.

Has someone actually suggested that the Sony attack was done by N.K?

Edit: I mean is there some source that would back up the claim?
> Is this an error in the documentation, or the actual design of the language?

It's the actual design. It follows Ruby and (I think?) Perl. Personally "..." feels more naturally inclusive to me since it has one more "." than ".." and thus one more item in the result.

But I thought it would be more helpful to follow in the footsteps of existing languages. The Swift solution is definitely explicit but looks kind of ugly to my eyes.

Syntax design can be hard.

I care about total landed price.

The seller can split it up however they want, but I’m going to look at the final total, especially when I’m comparison shopping buying “this one thing from vendor A” vs “that same thing from vendor Z”.
Can anyone comment about the worldwide production capacity and possible lower price limits for these drugs?

It should be possible to supply a large part of the worlds population with (hydroxy)chloroquinine if that is deemed a solution, but the others seem less ideal candidates for that, or am I wrong?
I am competent programmer in a general sense (knowing how to architect the software anywhere from entreprise stuff down to a firmware). I also use C++ and the fact that I do not really know lots of things about it does not bother me in a slightest. I just use the subset that fulfills my particular needs and am ok with this. If I need some feature that I do not know how it implemented if at all in C++ Google will give me solution in a minute.
It is a combination of all: firing computers, GPS and high-res terrain maps allows artillery to shoot more accurately, drones to do corrections, there are a number of guided (and extremely expensive) artillery shells with various guidance systems.
Has anyone considered that this guy is just tired? Tired and overwhelmed with the expectations he has created for himself. You'll never get anything done unless you give up on all your planning and anticipation. You're committed to driving yourself too hard, and some part of you is too smart to make that mistake. You've set the bar so high that failure is inevitable, and you've subconsciously picked the easiest way to fail.

Solution: don't spend the week fantasizing and setting up absurd expectations. Resist planning; resist even thinking about it. When the weekend comes, you want to be free to follow your own initiative. You don't want to wake up on Saturday morning with your entire weekend already scripted out. Too depressing! On Saturday morning, just start working at a relaxed pace and see where the work takes you.

If you want to go balls-out on the weekend, find some way to slack off during the week. Not recommended if you have a reasonable day job that you'd like to keep.

"you can browse privately, and"

"you can browse privately, in the sense that"

What does a user think browse privately means?
Do they think it means "your browsing is shared with third-party data brokers that aren't displayed in the UI at all and you might not know exists?

It's one thing to say "well obviously we can't control what you choose to do with foobar.com"; it's another to say, "the same legal person who told you 'you can browse privately' is buying your browsing data from foobar.com".

The m1 is honestly selling me to move back to apple stuff again. Also I'm sick of trash process handling on Android where apps just stop running because some other one is sucking down the ram in the background. I could have every app opened on my iphone even on 1gb with an SE and no issues noticed whatsoever. I really think apple is delivering an upswing they need to after the whole trash 12 in macbooks and butterfly switches.

I buy from amazon for their low prices - sure, they aren't always the lowest, but they're the lowest often enough that I can safely shop at amazon without shopping around. I don't want to price check five different stores before I buy something, the convenience of knowing that amazon almost always is selling something for reasonably close to the lowest price is valuable to me.
