No, do not use that input type. Please have a deep read of sibling commenter's link. Its numerous flaws make input type=number completely inaccessible and therefore almost useless to the very kind of users who would normally benefit the most from simpler & more specialized inputs.
I've seen a ton of proposals similar to this and even thought of a few myself, and all of them fail to prevent a motivated and funded attacker from monopolizing a plurality or even 100% of mining. The only way around this is to explicitly identify miners (like Libra a.k.a. Facebucks), but that introduces centralizing forces.

AFAIK proof of stake is the only approach that I've seen that could potentially work in principle but it has its own problems including encouraging wealth centralization, contributing to the deflationary nature of the currency, and being vulnerable to attacks by players with large fractions of the currency's float under their control.

This is a hard problem. PoW works but at absolutely mind boggling cost.
I don't think it's correct to assume the speeds are equal. Genetic mutations propagate across viruses and plants at very different speeds.

Nuclear waste is safely stored in pools and other facilities, it does not hurt anybody.
That part is just smoke and mirrors, of course. They don't give a crap about that and "privacy" is becoming yet another marketing buzzword that rarely stands up to scrutiny but is very convenient to hit your opponents over the head with.

Google just wants a monopoly on advertising.
Looks like the example of a good one is based on Dan McGee's latex document: https://www.toofishes.net/blog/latex-resume-follow-up/
I can tell there is wisdom in your words.

My understanding of Buddhism is that there is one spirit and the world is false.

The notion of self and all feelings, etc. are false, since the only thing that exists at all for real is the spirit.

Only in absence of the spirit is there not the spirit, but the spirit exists (everywhere, though there are no locations, because location is of the world). The realization of the spirit is peace, but in the false world it is the total opposite, perceived as suffering and detachment from the world.

All feelings and realizations (both of the false world, associated with the path to the spirit) that bring peace even with detachment from the world are seen as part of the path.

As part of the false world's absence of spirit, the path may seem to be wandering and involve suffering. Even those that are on the path to knowing the spirit may feel suffering.

Christianity's origin was a belief the one spirit (God) was in Jesus, who said that spirit is within all of us, and that recognizing that (through faith) and realizing that the world is false was the path, just as Buddhists believe. Jesus's death on the cross was a final attempt to bring home that attachment to the false world is death, and even those that understand may greatly suffer.
By the number of articles he publishes, I'd say that's a company without any type of actual business activity.

If the CEO is spending more time blogging in Forbes than working, than that speaks volumes.
Well. I am a writer and I always try to research as much as possible before delving into a topic.

BUT the temptation to just make things up as you write is really strong, especially if you concentrate on characters, where details will get in a way of the narration flow.
> That's why I wrote "To me Vim seems...".

That's fair. I was left with the impression that you did not think it could be useful to anyone.

>Beyond the fact it's impossible to start using it right away without instruction, everything else is subjective and context-dependent.

It is a very different interface. It does not work like other editors. Some people don't like mode-based editing, and thus they will definitely not like it.

> How? I tried.

This is a common experience for people attempting to learn Vim. Like I said, the learning curve is high. It takes a long time to become proficient. As to how it is worth the investment to me, I think most of the gains come from the fact that it is a keyboard-oriented editor. I can find the piece(s) of a file that I want to edit, and make changes quickly. As 'blackcats' pointed out elsewhere in this thread, vim lets you move around the file quickly.

> I also find coding without JetBrains-level smart code completion a waste of time.

I use the IdeaVim extension for vim-like keybindings in JetBrains IDEs. It's not perfect, but it implements a fair bit of the keybindings in vim. I understand the desire for code completion, it can be very handy.
>For this new ecosystem to work, we needed a consistent, universal dev experience for every package on the registry.

That's the most absurd sentence thing I've seen in awhile, editing is orthogonal to package management. But others have that thread covered. This got my attention:

> Pika publishes each package directly from source, so malicious or hacked authors can't skip code review or sneak malicious code unnoticed into the registry.

I don't see how injecting yourself in the middle solves the problem, since exfiltrating data in the background from a downstream app is both necessary for some services and hard to identify as "bad".

What I'd like to see in a registry is a registration fee per project (or pay per publish), non-anonymous registration (provide a government issued ID and mandatory 2FA), delayed deployment after publishing, and aggressive but open auditing. Plus org/user namespacing.

Basically if you have an environment where a bad actor has to pay money, steal someone's identity, and takes awhile before they can even verify their attack has been successful - you'll cover a huge chunk of the attack surface area.

> Public lightening is, and has been, a major factor against criminality

That's highly debatable (sure, it may feel safer):
https://www.darksky.org/light-pollution/lighting-crime-and-s...

In any case, I don't there is much point in keeping the lights on throughout the entire night, but it might be beneficial to (especially during winter months at higher latitudes) light busy areas in cities for part of the evening.
>Even if we are, we may still not be responsible for the government's actions. The US is run by majority rule, so when something is decided, it doesn't necessarily reflect the will of the whole citizenry.

Even in a dictatorship the people are partially responsible for what they didn't stop from happening.

It's not like "I was in the minority, so I have no responsibility at all".

How do we feel about German citizens in the 30s who went on doing their business, knowing what was going on, and merely "disagreeing" with it?

At best they were cowards. At worst they were enablers...
It’s not forced equivalency.

Any modern society should be able to say that concentration camps are bad, or that rounding up or punishing children, families people in the basis of race, familial connections, etc is an affront to human dignity that should be condemned.

I’m not sure why this would make me cool at parties, but I would like for my government to be able to take a stand against this type of conduct.
There's other uses than buying drugs online?
Well at least it is equally offensive to everyone then
Slowing down the cycle is good for developers who like to keep their TS version up to date as a matter of routine. It means fewer updates to do per year.
The main legal basis for the majority opinion seems to be fair use, so isn't the system operating as intended? The legislators set out a principle of fair use in statute. The court applied that principle in the context of this specific case.
> Ecto prevents N+1 queries by default, which I think is clearly better.

To be fair...

If you want to protect yourself from these with Rails you can install Bullet[0] and get protection through in your face notifications, and you have the option to let it slide because you're taking advantage of caching with Rails and in this case you know what you're getting into and the N+1 query with caching ends up being better because you understand your domain.

Rails also has the strong migrations[1] gem which is a huge help for not shooting yourself in the foot for running migrations in production by helping you avoid table locks and other issues / errors. But AFAIK there's no Ecto equivalent, but strong migrations is really really useful.

Rails also has the data-migrate[2] gem which is a nice little abstraction for splitting out your schema changes and backfilling data in an automated way. There's nothing like this with Ecto. This one isn't as useful as strong migrations IMO but it's still very handy to have this problem taken care of for you without having to re-invent a new strategy in every project or copy code over.

Basically all 3 of these things are something I'd use in every Rails project but with Phoenix I wouldn't have these things except for N+1 query protection.

I'm pretty sure you could technically create strong migrations and data-migrate for Ecto but the reality of the situation is today neither of them are available and there's no sign of them coming anytime soon. Meanwhile strong migrations has had ~6 years worth of real world testing at this point.

If you drink one cup of coffee a day, I don't think it's going to be an issue

It's part of a larger picture and genetics also play a large part of it. Drinking one cup of coffee with one tablespoon of sugar is a lower daily intake than six cups of coffee, each with one teaspoon

What can be problematic is if you forget to account for snacks/drinks when/if you consider your health. A tablespoon of sugar would roughly cover 2.5% of my daily energy requirements. If I start drinking three cups of coffee like that every day and continue my regular diet, I'll probably start gaining weight as I'm getting 7.5% more calories by drinking three cups of coffee

If you eat a "deep-fried ice cream" every day, it's probably not healthy for you, but three cups of coffee with a tablespoon of sugar every day, is equivalent of adding a pint of Ben&Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream to your diet every single week (based on calories) - that's not healthy either
This does not solve the issue, if you enter a folder with RET (a slightly more obvious key than `a`), it still opens a new buffer for every directory. What you would have to do is to remap the key in dired's keymap. Which still doesn't solve the issue that it keeps the buffer open even though you close it with `q`, which requires some other fix.

Or: you can use a file manager that isn't made by crazy people, which is what I do. I say this as a loyal Emacs user: there are so many things in Emacs that are amazing (org-mode and magit are the two famous ones obviously, but a personal favorite is Emacs calc, which is just a work of art), but dired is not one of them.
For personal, single-person projects I went back to a bare (git init --bare) repository on my SMB share.
I tried gogs and gitea, and at some point, I encountered a bug where the cpu would spike to 100% constant load, and make my instance impossible to use. I also didn't want to run Gitlab on my NAS for performance reason.

I'm pretty happy now, with one system less to manage (although I don't want to discourage anyone to have a look at Kallithea - maybe it suits your needs!)
I knew it was familiar! Wonders of Numbers is a great book, and I owe it much of my interest in recreational mathematics.
Have you tried Zooom/2? http://coderage-software.com/zooom/
Node.js is a universal environment much like Python or Ruby, but runs the highly performant V8 JavaScript virtual machine. The choice of JavaScript is simple — many people know it and it's the future of scripting. Also, I'm active in the core dev of Node.js which makes it extra fun to use.
So, again, I don't know anything about the device in question, so this is all conjecture... but:

Even given that OTA flashing is possible, why bother? The device has no means of waking the user without a phone in bluetooth range, so what's the upshot? I don't know that battery life falls into that category because the device would need some pretty serious upgrades, and cost would obviously increase:

- More RAM. Lots more. Enough to contain an entire firmware image during OTA and an entire night of sleep/movement history.

- More MIPS. Actigraphy isn't going to be as cheap as store-and-forward.

- A reliable RTC so that the device can ping the phone at the right wakeup time.

- etc.

If I was in their position, I'd build the device to be as dumb a peripheral as possible. Push the complexity out of expensive hardware and into software. I'd also probably have built in a sweet inductive charging pad, too, but I'm a sucker for shiny things.
It's not the first or the last. I believe he's doing this for the Ludum Dare, a game making contest of sorts. A lot of people who participate do this same thing, and have done it in the past.
It seems unnecessary to me to have all your apps running simultaneously, but it does look nice.
When you're on a regular schedule, your body gets in a rhythm where you'll usually end up waking up at the exact same minute every day, even without an alarm.

When you don't maintain a regular schedule (or you're in sleep debt), your body can't do that. So your alarm may start buzzing in the middle of "deep" sleep, and you get stuck with sleep inertia.

Smart alarms like this try to compromise by waking you up in "light" sleep, or ideally in moments of wakefulness that you'd otherwise pass up and go back to sleep.

(If you're not familiar with the concept of sleep cycles: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sleep#Sleep_s...)
ChromeOS lack of native apps = Lack of HTML5 websties?
Because it was a complex administrative and legal process which the Trump administration wasn't capable of handling. Pretty much every single executive order they issued ("muslims are banned from entering the country", "no more work visas", "TikTok is banned") has seen extremely chaotic and ineffective implementation, with government bureaucrats themselves not sure what to do.
Nit: it's daylight saving [singular].
Just to flesh this out, the NHS could use more money, but it's worth saying that it's the only European healthcare system I'm aware of so fragile. If you ask a lot of British people they seem to think that the only alternative is the wild west found in the US, rather than the other healthcare systems in Europe.

There was a good piece in the private eye a few years ago listing headlines saying the NHS is doomed tomorrow going back to before Blair.
Closing schools did help a lot last spring: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/12/15/scie...
Ah, fair point, I was focussing on the comment that kicked this chain off and forgetting the article was London focussed - apologies.
At FAANG there's always an IC track and management track. Additionally, promotions are almost always lagging, meaning the individual needs to performs at that level for some time before being promoted.
No one suggested that you aren't allowed to think that, but let's all hope you're not allowed to make policy decisions!
If 60 failed court cases wasn't enough, what could possibly pacify these people. There were dozens upon dozens of opportunities to make the case election fraud had occurred. The courts would have listened if they had anything to present.
Ultimately it's a world market for labor at the top end. Barring artificial distortions (immigration/emigration restrictions), people will move to where they can get the best deal; since good Chinese programmers can immigrate to the states, it puts a floor on Chinese salaries, the same is true in India actually.

It is a whole different game for soso programmers. If you want a soso programmer in China, they will be much cheaper in the states, but the bottom is also much lower than one from the states could imagine, and often you just get what you pay for (or worse).
And here is sort of the anti-advice. ;)

> Turns out, a slit really isn’t the best shape for the hole because if you don’t have the right kind of rubber, it can rip too easily. A circle is better because there’s equal pressure around the hole and it’s less likely to rip. I wish I had considered this sooner, but that’s what it takes to learn and that’s why I’m sharing this here.

Given the level of detail in the article, I'm led to believe that the next moment hasn't happened yet..

What you really want is a slit with a pair of small circular holes, one on each end of the slit.

o--------------o

All the benefits of the slit without the tiny points where all of the stress is focused, which is what causes the ripping. Adjust the size of the holes as needed.

Common design trick for sheet materials, and should be straightforward to cut with the same machinery.

Enjoyed the article.
No, it is not ugly at all.
They key takeaway that you should strive to be a simple person, not an easy person.
Bringing up opera singers breaking glass as an example of sound vibrations physically hurting people is just not useful in a conversation about freedom of speech because it’s a nitpicky convoluted example that is not a great thing to bring up when you’re trying to redefine the claim so that you could rebut it. (Note that I am specifically talking about the example you brought to to support your interpretation of the claim. I’m fine with your speculation that the claim literally meant something along the lines of “sticks and stones can break my bones” rather than “free speech has never had adverse consequences”. It just didn’t need your qualification. I do appreciate the self-reflection, though.)
Sure, but in the context of an ethics exploring thought experiment, those are the same. This is about what the law should be (if I understand the game correctly).
"overkill" may be an unfortunate word choice, if you're the pedestrian who has a close encounter with one of these.
It needs to be rephrased into this:

"Watching this video will make you into a developer who is respected 10x more by their peers."
I feel like I'm 4 all over again myself and watching the moonshot on our grainy black and white tv...

What a fantastic day this is. History was made today, I know there will be plenty of people to try to diminish the achievement by saying 'we did all this in the 60's', but what matters here is that it is not some government entity doing it, it's a company doing it and where there is one there'll be more.

Space is finally really being opened up, and with a bit of luck the pace will now accelerate.

I'm all for a second space race.
isn't the base problem one of collaborative filtering? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering

seems like a fairly interesting problem to me - or am i idealizing? i suppose some developers would rather work on language/framework problems than data analysis problems...
I get access violation with VC, when trying to see how this works.

Works with gcc though.

Can somebody throw some light on how this works?
Awesome news! I wonder if there are viable alternatives to launch against chemical rockets? Also, bitgravity sucks big time, couldn't get a frame from them, let alone a stream.
I'm guessing you didn't read DF after the iPad announcement. The sense I got from Gruber was that he knew it was world-changing, but until you've used it you don't really understand why. He was thrilled about the potential but couldn't explain it to anyone. He was very excited, make no mistake.
Could be a miss-communication. I read the emails that guy posted and it looks to be very one sided and not the entrepreneur's fault.

Tricky wording on the Venture Summit's part.

Good post.
Alright, fair enough. I think the article also conflated the two in service of its hyper-focus on individual responsibility to the exclusion of factors like food accessibility. But it does suggest policies to help people make better-informed choices about their food consumption instead of simply throwing more aid money at them. That sounds reasonable.

Would you agree with the premise that the government has had huge impacts on the quality and variety of food available (I'm talking subsidies of commodity crops here), and therefore shares some of the blame for the fact that the American version of "hungry" is "overweight and under-nourished"?
Facebook released Messenger for this reason. Facebook saw that people were starting to use Facebook less and stand-alone apps more (Instagram, WhatsApp, SnapChat, etc.). This is also the reason why Facebook now owns two out of those three.
> So basically, modern farmers don't have one iota of sustainability

Exactly which of the above will run out in the next 1000 years? You've made a statement without any evidence. Even peak phosphorus mentioned in other comments seems as dodgy a concept as peak oil.

Or do you mean they are not following the religion of mothernature knows best and using science and technology for sustainability instead.
Supplemental MSM,5-htp, L-Theanine, Magnesium, NAC, and Alpha Lipoic Acid
Making $50/hour while spending $25/hour (figure thrown out in the article) is breaking even because there is a 50% transaction fee on your earnings. Furthermore, the proceeds are used to fund mayhem and misery both domestically and abroad so you're increasing your responsibility for that as well.
There's an episode of the show Black Mirror that makes this very very obvious.
At 44, the smarter thing is to think about how you're going to retire in 20 years or whenever. Not a good time to be taking any sort of pay cut!

Programming is a nice hobby. In many ways, it is a nicer hobby than it is career. Some die-hard programmers dream of having more money so that they could work strictly on whatever hacking interests them. I don't know whether enterprise risk analysts regard enterprise risk analysis that way, but I'm guessing no.

If you want to do programming and get paid for it, and get paid well, then connect it to your present work. Do some programming which helps you analyze investments or perform enterprise risk analysis.

If I were an MBA enterprise risk analyst (but otherwise the same person that I am, with my software skills) I would definitely not change career to programming. I'd grab all that enterprise money I could and carry on my programming projects, where I dictate the requirements, design, implementation and all the rest of it, and where my name is on everything at the end of the day.
