Regarding pencil and paper, I sense there to be a huge gap in notations used for representing ideas on paper/whiteboard.

Relational schema diagram notation is useful. You pick up some along the way, like "mind maps". UML is very heavy, and I don't know anyone who uses that for flow. So for most things, each person invents their own method of capturing ideas.

I've got a couple of tricks that do work for me. But the notations I use are unsophisticated compared to what could be done if this issue - smart ways to develop ideas - was a meme that lots of people were working on.
Found this in the comments section of that article. So report to Amazon too even though he has not broken rules there.

How are you comparing public schools to universities? First of all each state has maybe a dozen universities but it has a hundred or more school districts, in some larger states, each with at least a dozen schools. The complexity of managing public schools is on a completely different level and saying universities do it so why can't public schools is way too simplistic.

Yes, you'll need them to build up bigger programs. The point is they aren't fundamental to IO itself.
The main reason it's not a massive headache is simple: Records aren't used THAT widely. Sure, in C++ or Java everything has named fields, because that's the only thing you have. Most Haskell datatypes use ADTs without record syntax, which means fields aren't named.

Personally I only use records for large-ish "configuration" datatypes which and I just don't use that many of those for it to be a real problem.
I thought "I recognise that username..." so I poked around your site and saw you wrote LessPHP. It's very useful thanks!

Covid has been in the US for about a year and killed over 500 000 people so we can approximate that to be about 500 000 in a year. The top 3 leading causes of death in the US in 2017 were heart disease (635 260), cancer (598 038), and accidents (161 374) [0]. That puts covid solidly in third place even if you assume the covid numbers are over counted. Heart disease and cancer accounted for over 20% of deaths each so that would make covid somewhere a little under 20% of deaths. Based on that, nearly 1 in 5 people who died in the last year in the US died of covid.

I am very similar. I read through the documentation the first time to get a ‘lay of the land’, so I can deep-dive into the various sections as I require.
I have no interest in Youtube (or the government) deciding what is suitable and unsuitable. They've both failed miserably at similar efforts elsewhere.

I can get behind the idea that I'd like better tools to monitor and curate the video content being streamed to my kids. I'd even be willing to pay for it! But I am not compelled at all that government needs to do something.
Businesses can deduct all the VAT they pay. I do have a business in the EU; I'm familiar with it.
Do Google executives allow their children and grandchildren to watch YouTube kids? I'd be surprised if they did without significant parental oversight.
"Interpreting the feedback you’ve sought on your idea can be scary. Here is a simple yet totally unknown logic to entrepreneurs: when everyone tells you ‘Yes’ on your startup idea, you probably shouldn’t do it. Your idea is either too late to the market or not unique enough to have an edge. On the other hand, if you hear a ‘No’ a lot, don’t get depressed or defensive, pay more attention. This might be good news."

This excerpt is quite confusing...kindly explain in laymens terms please :-)
I always find it fascinating how quickly a family fortune disappears

That's a good thing and the reason why e.g. the Inheritance Tax exists.

Inherited wealth sabotages the fundamental reward mechanisms of society and ultimately harms it by bringing the wrong people into positions of power.
There didn't use to be any "diesel fuel", Diesel designed his engine to work on plant oils and other renewable (for some value of renewable that's better than gasoline, but more at odds with food production). The oil industry realized that they could also produce something that could fuel diesel engines, and they called it diesel fuel.

Modern diesel engines are very different -- but for eg. industrial and military use, you'll still see some resilient engines that can burn pretty much anything you throw at them, from butter to diesel fuel.

Shame he fell of a boat in the English channel and drowned.
The engines are designed quite specifically for the type of fuel that will be burned in them. Although technically you could make a diesel engine that would burn normal petrol, it would not be advisable to put normal petrol in a diesel car, because the engine relies on the fact that diesel is a better lubricant than petrol. Also, various components (such as fuel filters, fuel pumps, etc) also depend on the fuel being of a certain type, and would be damaged or otherwise fail to work with the wrong fuel.
CNG has a low power density.
Exactly. And yet it's not easy to infer mechanically that an Expr (but not its Term branch) must be printed in "( ... )" when it's in the Factor branch of an AST.

Studies show that half of 11 to 13-year-olds have seen pornography at some point.

What's missing from that stat is where they saw porn. Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Imgur, etc are full of porn but aren't technically porn sites. If that's where kids are accessing porn then blocking porn sites will not fix the problem.

Unless you understand what the problem actually is there will be no way to fix it.
Add to the question whether you have kids or not in home.
Because 'shady' traffic does you more or less no harm, unless your web application executes arbitrary untrusted input?

> Not really, here's a benchmark of V compiling itself in 0.3 seconds that includes all steps (including the C -> binary part) and results in the compiler binary

From what I've seen, you've used tcc for the benchmark, right? If so, that's kinda cheating, since tcc is written to be a simple as possible (and therefore as fast as possible), so the compilation time is essentially zero. Benchmarking with gcc with optimization turned on should give you a more realistic result.

> We have thousands of tests, lots of big projects written in V (V itself is 220k loc, Vinix OS, Ved editor, Gitly, vsql etc), and they all work fine, no compiler errors.

To quote Djikstra:

Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence.
Easy. Buy a small plot of land in a remote area and stockpile 2 years worth of food and water. It's really not that hard. A human can live off of a small two acre garden. Even if you might be downwind of a major population center, you can build a simple fallout shelter for cheap.

That's the point. It's entirely survivable if you prepare.
Maybe you’ll see a flash of what your best life could have been and the choices you should have made instead.
I don't think it's correct making claims like "it's a toy language" and "crashes on trivial input" without actually trying it out.

You don't need an article to clone the repo, build the language in <1s and play with it.

Autofree works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmB8ea8uLsM

But it's not finished yet. We saw a better performance with a GC (due to all the extra copying autofree has to do), and made it the default.

I've always been anti-GC, but V is so minimal and doesn't result in many allocations in the first place, GC works really well with it.

In the end the user will have full control over how they want to do memory management: manual, autofree, gc.

Totally agree - the bottleneck are bloated themes. Just started to use Framework7 for a new site ... I like it's compact design and great features to design mobile sites.
Yet properly tuned in 2020 it can get incredibly good for the money paid. Check Barry's channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT_50ZiRFWSm7oziV1OZloQ , he's done some amazing work with his content.

The last 5% will cost 95% of the money, as with anything.
I have it and I'm considering it my next read but this sounds bad. Does anyone have a different opinion?
Interstate highways were built as a system of highways with no stops to anywhere in the country. I think in theory they are maintained by the federal government, but in practice, the feds give money to the states because the states each have agencies that deal with roadbuilding contracts etc.

I think in contemporary usage, "freeway" and "highway" mostly mean the same thing: no stops.

Well it's less mocking and more "will a large set of votes show us people's split seconds judgements". Hopefully at least...I'd like to think we'll be able to see trends emerge based on gender, ethnicity, and appearance in general.

Currently working on the preloading...a lot of the time spent loading is keeping track of inmates you've seen and inmates you've voted for. Going to roll out a way to determine how biased you are based on your votes (if there is interest)

Quick edit: At first all of the images were pulled in with AJAX, but I wasn't sure if that would affect the performance (and Adsense to be totally honest, there's no great way to monetize something like this. Maybe an application but that's a bit of a ways off). If anyone has any experience with ads and AJAX sites I'd love to hear suggestions.
Yes, it is a terrible idea. But you are assuming that the people running the country and the ones electing them are competent individuals who have the best interests of the country in mind.
This is very nice, Google Goggles for android supports something similar.

When I saw this on my brothers android device it does make for quite a wow factor!
I think you just got reverse trolled...
Why are you still arguing about this? Your original claim was, "if you build a binary heap...and make that heap big enough to require multiple pages (about 8 MB". It does not take 8 MB to make a heap "big enough to require multiple pages." It takes 4 KB. PHK's example was a middling-sized heap, not the minimum heap necessary to require multiple pages, as you implied with your original statement.

Figure out how much you really have after taxes, fees, other reductions, etc. Keep it in a safe bank account (i.e. the bank will not become bankrupt and your money will disappear; no matter where you keep it, make sure it doesn't vanish) Then sit down and figure out what you want to do. Others have already provided a comprehensive guide to immediate tasks. I think it will help to define a purpose for this money. Your modest living should help greatly; just make sure you don't take purely financial risk with the money (like becoming an investor disconnected absolutely with what he's investing in).

Some personal suggestions of mine include starting another company that you have passion to start and fund. It seems that you won't waste money, but it goes without saying to start as though you has no money at all. If you start anything whether it's a non-profit or company, start immediately with what you need. Ask if you can start with the least you have. Read REWORK by 37signals. (this book will provide invaluable experience) Read Getting Things Done by David Allen. Not only will it help to organize yourself, but refocus yourself on a 50,000 feet level and realize what you want to do with your life. The book can prompt internal self-actualization, but you have to be the one to figure it out. (though their workflow coaching can help setup your system for the first time, you can do it yourself too) Some of this advice, you probably know already, but this can be a refresher.

Ask yourself questions! Feel that you want to help other in your community? Do that. See an incredible opportunity on the horizon? Do that. Work with what you have a passion for.

I hope others on the internet and I have been able to provide sound ideas for what to do. Whatever the case, you already came this far. I wish you the best of luck in what you plan to pursue, and hopefully you'll be able to benefit our world and yourself. Make sure that you make the decision you know are the best for you. Personally, please use the money constructively...help someone with it if you don't know what else to do after making sure you have enough for the rest of your life.
Comment 10 from the original poster: "My stats knowledge is baby-simple. I first use an unpaired t-test, and if that doesn't give good results, I move on to a paired test (p<.05). That's pretty close to the limit for me."
I wouldn't say it's bad. He doesn't go in to proving how the differences are statistically more significant, but that doesn't mean they aren't.
> I'm not talking past anyone -- I'm just choosing to ignore the silly aspersions to my intelligence.

There haven't been any "silly aspersions" to your intelligence. You just didn't exhibit a sufficient knowledge of the problem to dismiss the article like you did. Computer science is a large field, and it doesn't say anything at all about your intelligence if you're unaware of one particular implementation of one particular type of software by one particular author. You're the one who's cast this whole conversation into a competition, not me.

> It's possible to make an argument without calling the other guy stupid.

Exactly, which is why I responded like I did, and gave you an opportunity to explain whether I misunderstood you. You, on the other hand, responded with sarcasm and rhetoric, and clarified nothing.
No revenues at the moment. Working with remote teams is fine if you use the right tools (redmine, svn for example) and if you try to avoid working with people on the other part of the ocean. We worked with people in Argentina, Japan, India, Ukraine and Russia. The last two are at the moment the countries where we find the highest programming skills.
Stating all of the prices as "per 30 days" has a bad smell to it.

Why not state them as monthly if that was the intent?

Or why not state it as hourly or annually if the intent is to slice it that way?

The only reasons I can think to state it per 30 days is that there is a dark pattern for revenue optimization hidden in there. Don't be different for the sake of being different when it comes to pricing, especially on something where folks are trying to compare your pricing to competitors.

I also think the "meh" acronym for memory hours is pretty unfortunate given the negative connotations. "meh" is about the last thing you want people to associate with your service.
Same here. Nginx log + GoAccess. I actually login to the server and generate GoAccess html to check the traffic occasionally. I also anonymize ip on Nginx - that way I don't have to deal with GDPR. No cookies, js or third-party images, etc. Really see no need for anything else for a purely content based website. Then again the website is purely non-commercial for now [1].

Is 300 really the max of the eye, I wonder how that is calculated. For instance, if you had a 1 pixel line at about a 15 degree angle, does that mean you would see no aliasing effects?
I think to be a successful corporate trainer, you will also need to Walk The Talk too. Let's say you are teaching Project Management course under PMI, it is important that in additional to being certified, you used all the tools and techniques taught in your own lessons in actual real life business environments too. Else you will never be able to relate to your students.
How does this handle multiple displays?
I personally blame human nature. Jacques is a known/respected name around HN, so since the OP was downvoted at least once (enough to make the text harder to read), and a HN personality posted a "are you crazy" response, the typical action taken is a quick "downvote OP, upvote personality".

The problem with downvotes in HN is the side effects. An early downvote can mean nothing more significant than "I disagree with you", but it has the effect of making a post significantly harder to read. When a post is hard to read, fewer people will read the post, yet they are willing to accept and re-enforce the judgement of their peers (especially HN personalities) without critically reviewing it for themselves.

I wouldn't personally blame Jacques for this, but his dismissal (and possibly the early downvote as well) has had a net negative effect on the OP, regardless of the OP's correctness.

EDIT: And our sin appears to be getting too meta. Cardinal sin, that.
amen. there are downsides to the chaos of consulting that i don't particularly enjoy but the only time i ever spoke to HR was when they handed me my badge, and there is no such thing as a "performance review", reprimands, etc. (lots of annoying memos about corporate policies at this particular client tho). In fact, I talk to my real "boss" about once every few months, in between it is just scrums with PMs

I pretty much just go to work, chill out, and hope I can find a better gig sometime in the near future (I'm on basically an ever-renewing contract but the vendors in our system are horrible about rate increase).
A common usage for "insisted" (in American English, at least) is "did so with no apparent consideration of the effect," in a generally passive-aggressive context.

"He insisted on chewing with his mouth open, I mean, ew. Gross."

The offender is generally expected to read non-verbal, and often non-expressed, communication of the offended's opinion.
The thing is that you don't know how much you will miss the basement until you leave it
Find a common interest, something that you would enjoy doing alone and that you know the other people you are meeting with will enjoy as well.

Theater (or any other activities) might work if you are genuinely interested in it, but if it's just an excuse to meet other people maybe you won't enjoy it as much, and you will be less likely to stick with it.

Meetup is a great resource: find meeting groups for hackatons if you are a techie, running groups if you are a jock, language learning, cooking groups...
If you are investigating the CERT coding standards, I would recommend focusing on the rules more than the recommendations. The rules are normative and give excellent advice on how to write secure code. The recommendations are generally more about code quality than likely security defects.

More information on the distinction can be found at: https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode...
Since the goal is a low VM footprint, rather than install a X on the VM, I'd rather use Emacs as my kernel init process and simply use my host web browser when needed.
There are arguments made for and against that as well, but having a toddler glued to a tablet definitely doesn't seem right.

Also (assuming you were born in the 80s/early 90s), the internet of our childhood is VASTLY different from what it is today... Both in good ways and bad, but mostly bad ways.
> Ironically cars are probably depressing prices in the city significantly. For most normal people, a car lets them not overpay for land, by letting them live somewhere far away.

A good public transport infrastructure is much more efficient at transporting people in and out of cities.

I live around 20 miles from my the city center and public transport is faster at getting me there than a car and you don't need to search for a parking spot.
A lot of books are empty calories and even good ones can became if you dont internalize it. I reread books over time and every time I get something different out of it but if I force to read something just to cross it of the list I usually forget I read it in couple months
> The first amendment for example doesn't have an explicit "yelling fire in a movie theatre" exemption

Always remember that this was an argument to imprison people for passing out flyers opposing the WWI military draft.
What is high paid is not the ability to write COBOL, what is being highly paid is understanding the 40 year old application building the foundation of the insurance or bank. If you understand all the implications of code changes there, you are worth a lot. If you need oversight to not break anything (hardly any tests etc.) you a worth a lot less.
In my experience, third party antivirus software does a better job than Windows Defender when it comes to file open/close performance. I always disable Defender or replace it with something else specifically because of the performance impact when working with many tiny files.
ttf is also nearly universally supported. Working with text correctly is just really hard so I think people like to reach for stuff that already does it for them.
> In the UK 60% of the adult population have had the jab now

The government and media don't give a stuff about anyone under the age of 50, certainly not under 40.
The US has cavalierly destroyed centuries of Free Speech heritage in a matter of just weeks.

This current time in which we live will be written into history as a watershed moment, only recognized after it has come and gone.

It deeply saddens me. We have lost a great light of liberty in the earth.
I wouldn’t normally nitpick spelling, but “analyse” (or “analyze” if you’re in the US I guess) is the word you’re looking for.

“Analise” has a very different meaning, one that you probably don’t want to Google on a corporate computer.
Oxford. Yeah I don't know if anyone can believe the stories, they might as well be a common myth.
Absolutely. At the same time it’s also much riskier.
> I don't know why people find it so hard to believe when I say that there are no mechanical keyboards with a Mac layout

Probably because they have a looser definition of Mac layout than you. Many people just mean that there's a command and option key and that the media control keys are in the right place.
Not to be confused with Windows Alternative shells. I always enjoy dropping these links for folks who didn't know previously that this was a thing at a point in time, and that at one point the definition of "shell" between Windows and *nix was a bit different:
