What? Exporting a type or field is an opt-in decision, you don't need a special package per type to do it.

If the fear is that other types or functions in the same package can access the unexported fields, that's unavoidable, making a new package per type doesn't reduce the risk.
I think I give up on the Internet that we know today. I'm too tired to fight anymore. Monopoly ISPs with data caps, DNS rent seeking, the walled gardens, the internet of shit where I cannot walk down my street without getting recorded by every house with a "ring".

I'm done with it. I don't want to partake anymore, I don't want to fight it anymore, I don't want to care anymore.

Let the Google's and Facebook's have the old Internet. I'm done with it.

The dream is over. The magic is gone for me. The old Internet is gone. Let them have the rest.

Maybe then, and only then we will rise up like a Phoenix, with a solution that cannot be stolen out from under us.
And the Friday squid crap is annoying as well.

How is the effect different from agent retention script - 'Before you cancel..', 'Are you sure?', 'Why not I waive 1 month off for you if you stay?'

How did we come to a conclusion that any online process should be 'easy'?
There is still some value in being able to disclose some private data without disclosing whether further private data exists. The other party will not know after a revelation if they have obtained the totality of secret data and must decide whether to continue to hit you with the wrench on the off chance that more secret data exists.

This is a well known dilemma when interrogating people, since there's no known metadata about how many facts exist in your brain. As the GP points out, though, a common authoritarian response to this dilemma is to just keep torturing.
I worked at a national lab for 5 years and loved it, but I know exactly how you feel about the negative parts. I left and ended up at an ad-tech company and although I didn't like our mission at all, enjoyed the job just because of all the new skills I learned. Eventually I had to leave because I just never could feel good about what we were building.

Then I ended up at my current company. Our mission is to improve supply chains by monitoring vaccines (mostly in Africa at the moment) and perishable goods with our sensor devices. Especially with the vaccines, our mission is literally to save lives. I LOVE it here.

So, the private companies you are looking for are out there, so maybe just stay patient until you find something that you can feel good about.
That's sort of what our relationship is-- from my view-- but I believe that at some point someone has to make a decision. Some of them are coin flips, or can be changed before too long if they turn out to be mistakes. I don't want to spend time on a lot of stuff that's not about building the product.

The CEO is also the domain expert in this situation, and we have a great personality fit.

Ideally I think engineers should be CEOs. Engineers can learn business a lot easier than biz guys can learn engineering. But it's not always going to be the right choice.
- We use a ton of empirical time series data from the building to calibrate the model.

- There's almost never a model. We build it from scratch in every case.

- We have a highly customized fork of EnergyPlus. They are all difficult to use in our experience, but EnergyPlus allows us to get the detail required for our needs.
Is the Bronze package 2,000 visitors A/B tested per month or 2,000 in total before you have to upgrade ?
Surely those things can be tested for properly by a doctor if you're planning kids and believe you may be high risk.

I don't know how things are in the US (I know health care is 'interesting' over there), but one of the jobs of a doctor is to take information and interpret those results for the patient. That's why they spend years training.

Giving patients access to tests directly doesn't seem a good idea at all to me. It's like showing a windows user a stack trace when a program crashes. Most of them won't have any clue how to interpret that stack trace, they'll probably get over-worried their computer is broken or has a virus, etc etc.

That is far from ideal. In Russia there is a whole new industry of bot commenters who flood all online forums, comment sections and social networks with pro-Putin comments, drowning the opposition by the sheer numbers of persons with fake identities. The result is an illusion of an overwhelming support of Putin.

This tactics can be applied to almost anything, so no, supporting anonymously is not the solution.
Which episode are you referring to?
Nice, living the dream. You're an inspiration. I find devops related jobs the most interesting. I do feel good helping fellow devs and setting up robust infrastructure but don't care about the companies themselves or the useless apps.
I don't disagree entirely with your post, as with most things legal it comes down to a balance of many aspects.

I also don't disagree entirely with the point RMS is trying to make regarding unmotivated searches of property and person. I do disagree with the specifics of his argument though.

Child pornography is in many cases indeed a heinous offense, however blanket searches of person and property is also a grand invasion of privacy.
I wonder.

Large corps do gather intelligence on the competition. Even small ones do.

For example, when a new pizza place opened in town, the one I worked for when in College, immediately ordered one to see what they were like, pricing, taste, etc.

Large corps go way beyond this, and information does leak. Bribes, promised promotions and roles at the new company, theft of code, processes, trade secrets.

You do not have to use trade secrets, IP, or processes in house, and can silo that info from engineers / the main company. Yet having an awareness of these things, gives you an idea of how much to spend on research.

I wonder, did Intel not do any of this? Did they do so, but AMD security/counter espionage worked to provide a fake picture?

I wonder how large corps operate in this realm, these days.
Just tried it on Edge 85 & Edge 89 and "it works on my machine". Please let me know if you find what the issue is!
First: I find the diff to the previous step in the tutorial really nice, it helps to grok what changed nicely for me, well, similar to patch series do. Never saw that used in a general framework tutorial, or at least I do not remember doing so.

The framework itself looks OK from a quick glance, I'll see if I can give it a try sometime.

I'm searching a small and modern framework since a bit, for hacking together quick small prototypes, personal status-page frontends, and the like.
I do not like using bigger frameworks there as after digging around in huge frameworks in the past for work, I want it really just end-to-end understandable.

I actually thought about hacking the few helpers together myself, but I rather like to reuse something to avoid combating different browsers (even that landscape isn't as colourful as it was), and the like. Also, I wanted also to avoid inventing "yet another minimal JS framework".

So, FWICT, Skruv seems to fit my bill actually quite nicely.

Two questions, just out of interest:

Any plans about how to develop and/or maintain this in the future?

Is this anyhow involved in a commercial operation, i.e., where you or other devs can get paid to invest some (maintenance) work into it?
Hence why it "can be written" as b[a] as well

I'll look into those. Thanks.
I almost fell for a similar trap when I installed their app and it was about to pull ALL the contacts from my phone. By default.

I killed the app instantly and uninstalled it, never to touch it ever again.

I cannot trust the app not to send unrequested connection requests, really.

I've kept the same mobile number since I was 12-13 (and I'll be 29 in some months). I have no idea about the number of people that got my phone number over the course of the years but surely I do not want to connect on LinkedIn with all of them.
Thanks for sharing such a great article. Forecasting cash flows was already one of the biggest challenges small businesses faced prior to COVID-19 and the challenge has increased in the current, less-predictable environment. Accounting APIs can enable startups to build dashboards with real-time data from their accounting platform with which they can make better predications on their cash flows.

We're Railz - a data-as-a-service API. We've recently partnered with M&T Bank to help solve this problem for their SME customers through our open accounting API. Here's an article that talks about our partnership.

Yes, I did try it, as too the three other people I've since shared it with.

I like the point map version too - I've a grab of a 'minecarft-looking version' of my home village - wonderful!
it’s ok to stick a thing in an outlet. you get a minor jolt that’s it. licking the terminals of a 9V battery (a dare we did as kids) is worse.

Would you want Tesla to publish _every_ small change they make, or just this one because you read about it? Because absolutely no company in the world anywhere will publish all changes they make to their product or production line.

What we're seeing here is a rather pesky bias called "Isolated Demand for Rigor". You shouldn't feel bad: it's quite common, very hard to figure out if you don't know about it, and almost impossible if it mixes with confirmation bias. For a fun post about it: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/14/beware-isolated-demand...

Well. For certain values of fun. I always thought Scott was so pissed at this bias he was in a very "fuck you" mood when he wrote it.
It might be easier if we stopped considering twitter and instagram as suitable places to publish nuanced, serious stuff that was liable to misinterpretation and misrepresentation
> born and tube fed from a machine and allowed to just think non-stop

Sorry, are you trying to describe even worse suffering than the poverty the preceding comment described?
The way to approach these questions is from the rights of the workers.

The people who work at the restaurants have a right to a healthy and safe work environment (this is why smoking was banned in restaurants).

These worker rights trump the "right" of someone to be able to go to a restaurant in a way that puts workers' health at risk. The reasons is because that worker has no choice, while on the other side, the other person has choices of: 1) get vaccinated or 2) feed themselves by making a sandwich at home.

Apples and oranges. Most of the wealth is not most of the wealthy people.
We are die hard Cloudflare customers, I am speaking from experience. They are phenomenal, but they aren’t magic.
Can you imagine how many meetings it would take for the US security agencies to go about hiring a botnet? Whereas they have a pretty much unlimited supply of heavies on retainer.
So essentially employee equity is never "significant" in your opinion?

Completely understand that, but my question was about significant from an employee perspective as I mentioned in the OP.
>That's just called a blog. The value of social media for politicians is the "social" part.

Actually no, the "value" in Twitter for politicians is

* Short succinct messages - people don't want to read a book from their politician for every issue. If it's important and does need more, then they tweet the image of more text or whatever. But most of the time a simple headline does suffice. Otherwise twitter wouldn't be where it is.

* The tweet can be linked from anywhere else on the internet, and everyone "knows" what it should look like and can basically distinguish reality from fake stuff

* Like the above, it's uniform and simple. Someone else commented to me that each politician has access to a website or something. Did anyone else know this? I sure didn't, yet I've seen a billion links to twitter for politicians.

* It would be really sad to learn that politicans are reading replies to their tweets. I don't know how they could get anything else done. Have you ever scanned through a twitter thread from any one of trump's tweets? There is nothing of value, and it's so invaluable that I bet you everyone in the world would be better off with read-only tweets from politicians!
I hesitate to go down this road, but what features do you think originated in GNOME and found their way into OSX? I think you're giving quite a bit of credit where it is not due.
> I find it dubious that you can only learn this by age 7 - although I'm sure it's easier if you're younger. Is there science behind this claim?

A better way to put this would be "difficulty goes up exponentially, much in the same way as learning a new language".

> I am not a musician, but I have recently started learning to play piano, and training my ear is something I'd really like to learn. I've used some apps to practice ear training, and I'm able to discern intervals decently, but I can't recognize and identify a single note on its own. I do hope I can get there with more deliberate practice.

As a professional musician, absolute pitch is very helpful but definitely not necessary. Being able to hear intervals and the contours of a melody well enough to pick it out quickly (this also goes for recognizing what kind of modes scales are being used, i.e. major, minor, penatonic, mixolydian) is so helpful that I might actually call it necessary, depending on what you plan to do with your music.
> I mean PG is talking about coming up with ideas to sell to VC or private equity firms... There is nothing as grand as scientific progress here... just randos trying to get rich.

What on earth gives you that idea?
> the rare ability to identify a musical note like F# just by hearing it, can be a massive benefit to a musician

It can also be a curse. I've known a number of people with perfect pitch. Those who were pianists typically insisted on playing only electric pianos, because a typical mechanical piano that's not in a performance hall is probably not tuned until "regular" listeners can tell it is out, but it could be out enough to make it unplayable to a performer with perfect pitch.

Another thing I noticed which I thought was surprising - they weren't notably better composers despite their "better understanding" of pitch.
There's a business model here! Pay 120$ and be the only man in town for 2 hours.
Same in the UK. Traditionally here the lowest skilled jobs were paid weekly and higher skilled monthly but I think that's rapidly disappearing, if not completely gone, now.
I often ask "stupid" questions, but I do so after having searched the documentation, google and tried everything I could think of trying. Sometimes it really is in the manual and in my frustration I overlooked it. My point is that assuming the person is just lazy is, well, an assumption and may not be true. At least a friendly "its in the manual" tells me I just overlooked it, but an unfriendly RTFM just makes me think why did I even bother wasting my time struggling. I don't have problems with stuff for the fun of it.

Two days ago, I tried to get a vim plugin working. After trying the instructions over and over for about an hour and a half, I finally gave up and opened a ticket with a question that probably looks pretty lazy and dumb to someone experienced with it. Did I get an RTFM? No, it turns out there actually WAS a bug (actually, a bug and an undocumented setting). I almost didn't post out of fear of being called lazy or whatever and just give up on it, but it turns out there actually was a problem. They fixed it and I'm now a happy user and the positive experience makes me more likely to report future bugs, tell others about the tool or even contribute if I can. An "RTFM" would have driven me away forever.
150$ on weekends
I don’t understand. Does this mean that my existing .org registration will likely become more expensive at any arbitrary rate, and I have to pay the high fees or lose it?
How do I stop this from occurring?
> I really don't like the idea of living in a society where companies I buy things from are trying to scam me by using Pavlov-esque techniques of using fake discounts to get my attention, especially because that works. Really, is that the society we want to have?

I concur with this sentiment strongly. I use websites such as CamelCamelCamel to see how long it has been at this "sale" price. But this only works for Amazon. I would love to see an equivalent site that tracks for many more websites.

It's particularly disgusting when you see "Black Friday Sales" that are an actual increase in the price. I saw a picture of a price tag of $219.99, with a sticker overlaid with a price of $249.99 with a "sale" price of $229.99. The kicker was the sticker was slightly transparent, and you could clearly see the original $219.99 underneath.

I've heard there are places with legislation that says you can only have on sale for as long as it was at the pre-sale price. I think this could help fight places with perpetual sales. The sad thing is this has become so ingrained in our culture, that when JC Penny tried to stop doing this, they lost a ton of customers, and a significant amount of money [0]. There would have to be a significant culture shift to go away from this.

actually it's not just forcing a real comparison, it's about directing what will the comparison be about. In this case Jobs doesn't shy away from the problem, he actually proposes to meet it head on, but on a battle field of his own choosing.
>we found exactly where the buck stops - not with the supposed head of the free world, but with the practically invisible collection of people and corporations that work behind the scenes to operate the puppets we vote for.

This is an absolutely crushing truth that often makes it difficult to not just disengage completely. This frightens me because a disengaged populace is precisely what allows this type of behavior to flourish and expand.

As I get older, I find I have to increasingly give myself silent pep talks to "stay in the game."
Cats communicate with humans a little bit, but much less than dogs do. For example, my cat, known on Twitter as the SOFS (Small Orange Furry Sociopath), has developed a very small "vocabulary" of sounds and actions to communicate with my wife and me. But really, he's not clear and consistent about anything more sophisticated than "Pay attention to me!" or "Stop touching me there!" And there isn't a single word I'm sure he understands, although I lean toward the affirmative in the case of his name.

I.e., his side of communication adds up to no more than what in a dog might be a couple of tones of bark, a fast tailwag, and the grabbing of a leash to indicate enthusiasm for the of a walk.
I've never heard of Knotlink, but its whole UI looks like a blatant clone of IFTTT.
I find Bloomberg an interesting company.
The first start-up I worked for made all their money selling software to Bloomberg.
Now Bloomberg is recruiting JavaScript programmers on my Uni campus offering salary on par with Twitter.
Maybe they want to be hip ? who knows.
Certainly trapping overflow is progress, but it's not that hard to implement unbounded integers such that the common case (small integers) are just as efficient as the modulo arithmetic we use today.

Sun's SPARC even included hardware support for this (TADDcc, TSUBcc), but programming languages didn't exploit it and the support was removed.

This will only change once there's enough demand that supporting it in hardware becomes a competitive advantage. There's plenty of precedence for this, eg. various crypto support in x86, the evolution of GPUs, networking accelerators, etc.

I intend to change Reduceron to use unbounded integers by default so that the promise that "Well typed programs don't go wrong" isn't a blatant lie.
It's different in that before you might have:

home.html
profile.html
group.html

and all of those pages are literally different views and you use ajax to grab the data.

Now you build:

index.html

with subviews and essentially index is doing all of it. Picking your subviews, handling making urls, rendering, making the requests.

I still haven't found a "class" of app that is "better" with SPAs. Just about anything you would do with an SPA you can do another way. SPAs are just the "cool new thing".
If the answer is YES and the probabilities are not all either 100% or 0%, or if the answer is NO in any case, then it means that "free will", in a sense that is precisely equivalent to randomness, is either true, or, if it is false, the determining factors are outside of the brain state.

If the answer is YES and the probabilities are all either 100% or 0%, that means nothing for free will, though it is consistent with a completely determined will. It's also consistent, however, with a free will (by pretty much any of the definitions) that determines brain state before any other empirical evidence of the decision of the will is available.
