This should not be an app - it should be a service, billed at $12/year (or $10 for a 3 month pass), with fresh content/languages added regularly. This would turn your company into something potentially investable, and would give you a steadily increasing stream of income. You'd also be able to increase the price over time as you add more and more value to your offering.

This should also be a web app, as many people have pointed out to you. As awesome as mobile is, web is still easier to share and convert users on, and while everyone has a web machine, not everyone has a tablet.
There is an editor that already does what you state that works on every main stream platform, has a great extension language, has a huge library of already existing extensions and is completely open source.

GNU Emacs. And if you don't like that Vim is also pretty darn awesome.
I think the whole website is lovely. I hope Calm does really well.
There's a reasonable amount of free WiFi in London, but it's not everywhere. In some places, you might need to ask for a password etc.

If you just need data, you can get a mifi for about £50 for the device and 1G of data. Before you get one, check if they will support VoIP - then you can use Skype etc.
There's nothing wrong with using pills. I've had severe MDD (clinical depression) since childhood and my mum is the last person who would resort to feeding me pills; they were the only things that were effective enough to let me live my life somewhat normally. They still are.

I tried to substitute them a few times with more exercise, herbs, teas, voodoo, and comedies. I'd be OK for a week or two, but I'd eventually start degrading into a shit state.

Thank the fuck and heavens for the pharmaceutical industry.
I think "Rodney King 2.0" angle is being terribly unfair to the police, even though I so happen to find the police actions there deplorable.

Those police officers were making a proper stop of a fleeing suspect. But they lost control of the situation, both the suspect and their own emotions, and could not think of anything better than to keep increasing the level of force applied when their previous application of force failed.

IMO, their failure is we expect police officers to behave more like human beings and less like automatons. But they did not intend to put anyone in the hospital/morgue when they stepped out of their squad cars.

Cameras might have saved Rodney King such a severe beating precisely because those officers would have turned on their cameras, since their initial intentions were proper. What the cameras would have done is put every officer on notice that their actions would be closely scrutinized, after the fact. They probably would have behaved better, if that were the case.

Yes, like others have said, the general rule of thumb is to ensure state argument is set in the commands.

Another thing that is very useful to do is to every 2-months or so, reprovision your systems again (which is something of an architecture refactor).
If you're in an early stage and seeking seed funding, then you should have everything thought out before talking to investors. Don't ask investors to help you decide which of the founders should be CEO because they'll take it as a sign that your partners and you can't work things out on your own. Investors want confident people who know what they're doing and go for it; they can smell fear and they'll disappear before you finish asking the question. Remember, it's YOUR company and it's YOUR responsibility. Investors help you with funding, introductions, and, maybe, some advice; but don't let them run your company for you. On the other hand, if you're in a later stage and seeking big VC funding then it's a whole different story. Talk to experienced entrepreneurs or close investors about the specific details of your situation; they’ll give you great insight. Although the key princeples are the same: it's your responsibility and you're expected to have strong leadership.
A while ago I decided to understand this sentence well enough that I could easily re-understand it the next time I encountered it. Once I got there, I could feel how I was doing it: bundling the words into groups and making a tree out of them. But it's indistinct. I just spent a minute trying to draw the tree and couldn't. That in itself is rather interesting, since when you do that kind of thing in, say, programming, it's either fully specified or doesn't exist at all.

Once you grok the 5-buffalo sentence, it's easy to see the trick that gets you to the 8-buffalo. The 5-buffalo plays on "buffalo" being both a noun and a verb. The 8-buffalo just adds a third category, which is the city "Buffalo" used as an adjective the way "California" is used in "California Girls".

It's neat that at the very bottom of that page, after so many years, he finally found a documented usage earlier than his.

By the way, this sentence is fun to bring up with people who haven't heard it before. It seems impossible, then hilarious, and then everyone insists on having the trick explained to them.
His contributions seem limited in scope but very significant: https://youtu.be/YE8MVNMzpbo
The Right Stuff
Star Trek: TOS. I find the innocence and unabashed optimism puts me in a good mood. I keep it on in the background while I work.
I learned something today, and ours is about to turn 4 months. None of this was communicated to us, probably because it's expected that you pick up most of this tribal knowledge via, pre-covid, other parents in your socio-age group.

We attended an infant cpr class via zoom, learned nothing. We at least got the message about SIDS, but the lack of tribal knowledge in the first six weeks was pretty brutal as first-time parents.
They're not "choosing" it, it's literally their only option. If I want to trade my ETH to GME shares, I have to convert it to USD in between.

What this will do is erode faith in the USD. If demand for cryptos, for example, stays the same, but suddenly everyone has more $$$ to throw around, crypto will keep skyrocketing in value while the USD buys less and less of the things people actually need. At that point there will be runaway demand for crypto because people will start "believing" it's more stable than the USD.
Containers aren't going to give you additional protection against third-party cookies with this feature. But, you still have other useful benefits like having different sessions open on the same websites using containers, or just grouping websites by forcing them into specific containers (Work/Personal/Random etc..).
Timing and legal obligations mostly. Share issues require a lengthy process to get approved. GME actually had one pre-approved, but they still couldn't use it, as they may not legally do so while the executives have material information the public does not. GME had an earnings announcement that was unforunately timed.
When I started losing my hair I tried minoxidil, until I realized two things:

1) it's not very effective;

2) it is highly, highly toxic to cats.

I didn't have a cat at the time, but I decided that the ability to have a cat in my life was more important than any hair loss amelioration provided by minoxidil, and if I went bald then I went bald.
This is truly the most amazing time to be alive (so far). No matter what repercussions the destruction of aging might have, it awes me that we talk of dramatically extended life and the colonization of the stars not only as something feasible, but even possible within the next century.
I am seeing it in my Windows firefox install.
I'm still trying to understand how node actually works. I'm just about to start digging through its source code. It seems most people view node as a magical mystery that they don't understand why it works, just that it does. How is a single threaded app doing things in parallel? Is it like a game loop where it iterates through all its pending operations and gives each a slice of time to progress forward? Are deeper parts of node multi threaded? The callbacks being called serially makes perfect sense, its the parallelness of the actual operations that confuses me.
These features may be used to program in a more OO style without the notion of classes. For example, one case use the embedding of fields to have a similar effect to inheritance.

Similarly, one can pass pointers to objects that contain a type as if it was the type itself, which is the same thing that inheritance allows. Of course, here there is no difference between containment and inheritance, you can use it as you desire.
Expressions like "magic" are simply ways of making it clear that the notion of what is or isn't possible is orthogonal to the question of what this specific program does or doesn't do. But as far as your points go, the second one is the most interesting. yes, we should have a good look at what happens when "advanced" students are exposed to any method.

Some advanced students might even get even better and increase the variance! I can't comment on this program, I know nothing about tutoring. But I know that I personally like breaking things down into little steps, and I think I would have enjoyed a program running on these lines if I was allowed to move at my own pace.
Are you sure you're not thinking of rioting?
Clojure Protocols are really a great way to extend types. I think it's a nice fit with both the functional and dynamic nature of Clojure, and it is carefully designed to allow "open" types while completely avoiding monkey-patching. It just seems like the perfect balance, even if it's hard to understand at first. I think it might even lead to "better" OOP in Clojure than in Java.

I would love to have this in Ruby, so that classes could be extended but not in surprising ways.
This was a well-written, easy-to-follow introduction, but I'd gladly pay money for an actual Node book that takes the reader from introduction to mastery.
I love Jamendo!
There's actually a lot of substance behind this, and Elon has used it to pressure lawmakers into considering SpaceX over the incumbents.

The basic summary is that yes, Russia has been supplying these engines and this wasn't a 'problem' until recent events (Ukraine etc.)
I think it's because Russians have banned US from using their engines for military launches.

Happiness is overrated. I'm just fine with a life of mild melancholy peppered with occasional fits of ecstacy.
I would think of it like this- If the job on paper requires you to be a high school graduate, you're overqualified because you have education beyond high school. If the job requires vocational training/certification/licenses/experience etc, that's a different story. The fact that you wouldn't be that good at the job in practice doesn't mean you're not overqualified.
Those statistics don't show an ROI, they show a correlation between education and unemployment. There could be many reasons that people with higher education aspirations have lower unemployment. Correlation does not imply causation.

I'm sure you can imagine that if somebody has the drive and mental capacity to finish a college degree, they also likely have the drive and mental capacity to land and keep a job. It is not the college degree that matters necessarily.

Using your own statistics, 89.9% of college dropouts have a job.
And 95.3% of college grads have a job.
Is four or five years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars worth a 5.4% increase? What if you were to dedicate those four years to personal study and lower job market experience and work your way up for four years instead? Can you be sure that the college route is the better solution, knowing that it only gives a 5.4% increase in those statistics?
This article is spot-on. The TSA is - at best - a waste of money and totally useless for actually enhancing security.

At worst (and most likely) the TSA is simply a power-grab by the elitist scum who want to rule everyone else, and marks a solid step towards out and out totalitarianism.

The TSA should be abolished, and the faster the better. And they should take the ATF and the DEA with them.
AFAIK, iTunes movie rentals are still not available outside USA and UK. This could be the launch of global movie rentals.

That would explain the Euro-friendly timing of the announcement (7 am California, 4 pm Paris).
I came here to say the same thing. htop is streets ahead from top.
This reminds me of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1902892 , in a way.

I wonder if it's the obsession with metrics that makes engineers act in such a self-deprecating manner? I know I certainly do this, too...
Actually, as I understand it, there's no such thing as a 'private beach' anywhere on the US coastline.

My first thought on reading this is that we can't be that far off from running MAME and every classic arcade game in a browser. Googled it and sure enough - it's already here courtesy of the Internet Archive:

Oh, I was thinking in terms of small deliveries to end-consumers. More like the Amazon Drone than UPS Business.
I’d say that change duration is irrelevant to blast radius, because bug impact is independent of code
size.

Having said that - a smaller piece of code is easier to understand, so there is more potential to notice problems.

However that depends on whether you do that diligence. And the dangerously false belief that the blast radius is going to be smaller because of change size rather than understanding works against you.
Universal healthcare and education at all levels. Strong worker protections, good safety nets. Return to mid 1900s tax rates on the rich, fund the IRS to make sure corporations and ultra wealthy pay their taxes.

We have multiple successful models to look at where capitalism is reigned in by all the above.
This guy has a bunch of javascript and PHP running his site its not static what a hypocrite.
Re: that judgement, why is the stock market allowed to halt trading? For that matter, why are savings banks allowed to restrict access to their customers' savings during bank runs? Wouldn't people have the "economic right" to de-leverage [and thereby kill] these institutions in these situations?
Disregard for human life seems to be a pattern of online lulz. I mean, this is on a different scale from "SWATTING" but the same sociopathy, no?
Right, but only to configurations that have gotten FAA approval, right?
Racing around a hot warehouse for miles a day while a handheld device counts down the seconds before you risk losing your job while you try to hold it in because you can't afford a bathroom break does not sound like a good blue collar job to me.

It's dehumanizing.
Son of a bitch, how can humanity sink so low with such ease?
UCSF had a great video conference call with several of their experts essentially covering these drugs and the two different stages of the disease.
I highly recommend watching the first half at least. https://youtu.be/bt-BzEve46Y
Sorry -- it randomly picks colors every reload, and I'm too lazy to change that at the moment. The big chunk is advertising, or you could keep rerolling until you found a readable set.

"10 O'Clock News" - are you critiquing standard news coverage, or do you mean "Not The Nine O'clock News" there?
Interesting. I currently use Python's AST to convert some nested logical query expression (in a syntax unique to my application) into bytecode executed by a specialized VM (I originally tried using V8 and LuaJit for this but performance wise that was unsuccessful; the project replaced some old Boost::Python C++ code). This article should make it easy to get started attempting an LLVM replacement.
Does anyone know a good lawyer for fair use issues? I've got a project that I'm fairly certain falls on the fair use side of the line, but it's important enough that I'd like a lawyer's opinion.

> Won't it be hard to find investors if you do that?

Better that than paying negative interest for German 20 year bonds, if you ask me.

> Universities are great at many things, including research, but based on my experiences (science PhD two decades ago in a research group which worked on anti-infectives) the scientists there aren't necessarily very good - or even actually interested - in development as such. We partnered fairly closely with $bigPharma at the time, and they funded a fair chunk of our work.

Agreed, universities have historically not been involved into the development part. But that is not a given dogma that can't be changed - the government could fund the establishment of development departments.

Alternatively, international governments could establish cooperative efforts to develop pharmaceutical compounds. Rare diseases and the decline of available reserve antibiotics are a global problem affecting every country on Earth just the same.
All the more reason for the self reflection that went into that document ;-). I think these days, he pretty much follows it, at least in written communications. In person he used to get upset easily, which could lead to unkindness. I don't know if he is still like that, N years later.
If your kid doesn't think to him/herself "fine, I'll make my own account" then they're either far too young to be on facebook or a moron.
ummm google did do this first ... it was called buzz and if you recall, it failed, quite miserably I might add.

That said, yes this may change SOME people's way of life for messaging, but it is not the game changer I was expecting it to be, and to be honest is much less remarkable than I am sure MOST were thinking
we have this book in the office in dead tree form and I think it is quite good, but it's not a "working programmer" text in my opinion.
Hi, do you do logo designs?
I wouldn't consider your behavior normal. :)

The parent makes a valid claim.
Thanks for pointing this out in my post. What I was trying to suggest is that if I'm already spending 5.5 hours per month on Facebook looking at photos, commenting, liking things, etc. Why, once the functionality was available within the interface and on my mobile device, would I jump out of my default environment to use a series of other tools that don't integrate at all w/my preferred online service.

I was a bit rushed in the composition of this post as I wrote it on the train; but you are correct. Technically those things are in one place, just not the place a large majority of Internet users are choosing to spend their time online.
My co-founder uses it for scripting and we do a little data manipulation on our game dev toolchain with it.

We were planning to use it a lot for a server-side code, but as my Haskell is rusty, we decided to go mainly with Python.
Learning that people like small iPods and making an even smaller iPod is not risky -- that's just common sense.

Touch-screen phones in almost the same configuration as the iPhone existed years before it's release. There was really nothing nuts about making improvements to that design. Even if there was no guarantee that the iPhone would be wildly successful, it was certainly not going to be a total failure.
This reminds me of William Gibsons "New Rose Hotel" short story. A couple of more years and switching jobs will be "defection". Bring on the teenage prostitutes, neurotoxins and japanese coffin hotels.
There seem to be a lot of rough edges here.

Is there a way to load more items to review without reviewing five? Otherwise, it's easy to get stuck if it pulls up a list of things you don't have an opinion about.

When I click on the number of reviews, it loads a mostly blank page. I'm assuming something going wrong because I would expect to see the reviews there.

The Google Maps tie-in is also confusing. Now it seems to show the things I've rated first, which is a bit weird, since I already know about them. When you rate new things in the Maps search results, nothing appears or changes dynamically to indicate that you've done so.

Also, my favorite restaurant seems to be missing, but maybe that's a good thing. :)
So was this tried somewhere and that’s what happened? Or are you just making it up?

Drawing attention to budgets should not only be about the way the money is spent, but also about the way the money is collected.

In any case, the point still stands. There are many ways to make people be aware of their taxes, and probably one of the worst is making it hard for people to file their tax return.
I had the opposite reaction. I read Lem's Solaris and was underwhelmed. But seeing Tarkovsky's Solaris seemed like a big improvement over the book.

If you're going for stupid light, there are compromises. Money and robustness are the first two things to go.

Rodriguez is advertising production steel bikes at the 14lb level: https://www.rodbikes.com/catalog/outlaw/outlaw-main.html Yeah, they're pricey. (10k) (That's production vs custom frame, meaning that they might have one off the rack in the right measurements, if not it's a couple of hundred to do a custom geo)

But superlight Carbon is going to be up there too, and it's going to use basically the same parts, +- bottom brackets and such. And frankly, I would trust superlight steel before I'd trust superlight carbon.

There are some pretty awesome Ti bikes as well, including custom 3d printed lugs, cranks, forks, stem, etc. They are in the same weight range, and IIRC 8kUKP.

If you're looking at commercial production, probably fair that carbon is going to be lighter. But the the people pushing the edges aren't limited to that.
> The lower bound is your breakeven point - where you're not sure if its worth going in to work or not.

This is conflating an irrelevant piece of data that has nothing to do with the business outside of them using it against you to negotiate lower pay. It doesn't make any sense to use this number in a "range" to calculate profit for a business.

Also, competing with SV-based companies is irrelevant as well since the same amount of competition exists currently. The amount of competition holds steady as long as the work-location flexibility offered across those companies is relative. And that's completely the choice of the business.

If I'm paying to rent a cash printing machine, I have no realistic claim to demand all cash printing machine renters charge me less because I all of a sudden decide to work with renters from other locations. Obviously, I may find other renters willing to accept less, but I have no claim to demand that renters immediately drop their rental rates.
I’m sad you’re being downvoted because I would also have been interested in the discussion, but I think the unfortunate reality is it just doesn’t matter that much.
I was on Griddy for about 9 months a couple of years ago.

Until one very hot August, when the wholesale price hit $10/kWh in the afternoon. My power bill for one day was $130. I didn't even wait till the end of the month. I switched back to my old power company that afternoon. Thankfully they were able to switch me back the next morning.
Do you have numbers for this claim?

Reminds me of the xkcd about older generations always complaining about younger generations no matter what, but with technology reversed.

“Look at them reading! How sad! A completely linear storyline! Never changes with a re-do, not even a bit. Sitting there, in silence! No social interaction. That can’t be good for their brains. Why don’t they play video games instead?”
