The creators of TailwindCSS also have a paid offering called TailwindUI (just pre-created components with documentation for your application and marketing site) that has React support. It also comes with Figma mockups for each component. It's a bit pricy but very high quality.
"Have to deal with random coworkers coming to my desk/cornering me at the urinal and blabbing incessantly about their divorce/kids/wife's boyfriend/vet bill, this was a regular occurrence in person and has happened exactly once via teams since work from home started."

This is real everywhere...and not healthy on many levels.
I was a PHP dev for ~6 years, switched to Python about a year ago.

* Once you know PHP, it's really fast to get shit done. Can't deny that.

* After staying with one language for so many years, it's crucial to try something new. You might not like it, but there might be some parts that could inspire you. It's really toxic to be stuck in one mindset for a very long time.

* Anecdotal, but I found an average Python dev to be better than average PHP dev (oh god, all those custom PHP frameworks I had to maintain and rescue projects from death).

* Python has great libraries for statistics, machine learning, image processing, etc - it's very universal.

* There is loads of great info about Python on the Internet and transition should be smooth once you get used to not putting semicolon ;)

* I found that there are more better paying jobs in Python.

All in all, why not to try?
There are some of us who don't use 'how', 'why', 'where', 'when' as a carry over from the older days when such terms used to just be ignored. So your example would be searched as "initialize 2d array objective-c".
He broke initially to facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberge wall and posted a comment to bring attention to a bug that allows users to post on other facebook users' wall even if they were not friends, he did so after facebook security team ignored his reports. facebook denied to reward him saying he broke its TOS. but the community rewarded him possibly more than what facebook would have paid.
Could you elaborate? Especially since I don't speak German I feel that I'm not getting the whole picture from google translate.

(1) Everyone has the right freely to express his opinions in speech, writing and pictures and disseminate freely to obtain information from generally accessible sources. Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting by radio and motion pictures are guaranteed. Censorship does not take place.

(2) These rights are limited by the provisions of the general laws, the provisions for the protection of youth and the right to personal honor.

(3) Art and science, research and teaching are free. Freedom of teaching does not absolve from loyalty to the constitution.

I assume provision 3 is the one relevant to your comment, but I can't make heads or tails of that translation.
This is creepy. I will actively avoid stores that use this.
Since we haven't officially launched yet we hadn't posted our official opt out form. Definitely an oversight on our part, wanted to get you something as soon as possible: https://density.wufoo.com/forms/density-opt-out/

We're adding it to the site now.
My parents have a fireplace in the back yard. It has completely collapsed once. My (presumably unskilled in brick laying) dad rebuilt it but now it is falling apart again. I'm guessing the original builder wasn't skilled in brick laying either.

Thanks for the info, I always wondered why that fireplace wasn't staying up.
That is not true. Did you read your link?
Yeah but node.js predates asyncio by about 5 years. Python was early to the game with asyncore and Twisted (circa early 2000's), but the async I/O support stagnated and left a big hole for node.js.

Part of the reason for stagnation was because you really need new language features -- i.e. yield/send, yield from, etc. JavaScript already had the necessary language features for its concurrency model.
Somewhere between 5 or 6 and 44 I'm guessing.

I find I very rarely mind not having lots of things. I moved country a year or so ago, planned to spend around 10k at IKEA, ended up getting tired and leaving after spending 3. Planned to get all those little things I "need" on another big trip. I never went back. Apparently I didn't need that pizza cutter after all.

I suspect most of us have much more than we really need. I suspect most of us do just fine with that. Some people it can be an improvement to remove some clutter, others it doesn't really matter.

I'd love to live out of a suitcase again, it really sets your priorities straight when you have to choose what to remove when you "need" something new.

Out of curiosity, what do you do in winter? Follow summer? or simply get a larger suitcase? (re the jacket conundrum)
I'd leave Google Update and Chrome PDF Viewer enabled.
Note: under Windows, Chrome will install Flash by default, so it's not enough to uninstall the standalone Flash Player. The latest Chrome has Flash 16.0.0.287, which is vulnerable.

If you use Chrome, and want to be safe, go to about:plugins, and disable it manually.

Under Linux the latest is 15.0.0.223, which is not vulnerable (but I'm using Chrome 40.0.2214.10 beta, so YMMV).
Of course, but in practice that doesn't really matter. Recompilation time for small changes is negligible and if you have a sane build system setup is pretty much invoked the same way you would load new code into a repl.

In the case of shader compilation, compiling and linking actually is exposed as library functions, so you have complete control over how to do that.

Most of the dynamic features a repl provides, like introspection and so on is also available with a good debugger, depending on the scope of the project you can also just use Lua as a scripting language to get the majority of the benefits that Lisp has.

Moreover nested parentheses sort of pale, if you can visualize most of your state in much more powerful ways on the screen.

Since you have complete control over memory, you can implement time travelling debugging pretty easily, you just need a good ordinary debugger, a way to record all input to the game (easily done if you have clean separation between game and platform code) and a way to snapshot the game state at some point in time (also easy if you allocate all memory ahead of time and only let the game code use your memory allocators).
This is classic Scott Aaronson - in fact, he's suggested on more than one occasion that we should adopt 'NP-hard problems are infeasible for the physical universe to solve' as a law of thermodynamics, arguing that the evidence for this is at least as good as other laws and that a disproof of this would be just as revolutionary.

Other Aaronson classics include "Who can name the bigger number?" [1], "Shor, I'll do it" (his layman's explanation of Shor's algorithm for finding hidden abelian subgroups) [2], "Is Quantum Mechanics An Island In Theoryspace?" [3], and his blog turned class turned book "Quantum Computing Since Democritus" [4]. But really there's a ton of gold. He has a really neat explanation of the AKS primality testing algorithm [5] and modeled an imaginary easier-to-build (?) less-powerful-but-probably-more-powerful-than-classic-computers computing machine based on the quantum effects of light [6].

In general his blog tends to accumulate a lot of drama and controversy in its comments (because Prof. Aaronson is very opinionated), which he handles very hilariously.

It's worth following him over at Shtetl-Optimized [7]. MIT was smart to have given him tenure.

I don't know if this was his original meaning but I know living on the east coast in a town with hardly any tech startup successes, finding experienced people who have had real success to learn from is extremely difficult and leaves me thirsty for knowledge.

Thus when I spend time traveling and learning from great people in places like SF and then come back here, I often feel like I "know too much" and need to be challenged because I can't seem to find fault in my own thinking. I'm deathly afraid of falling into the same mindset, whatever that may be, that caused all the startups around me to fail so I have this egotistical attitude at times when I'm not around people who challenge me.

I'm learning and trying to grow past that faulty thinking but it is tough. Maybe this is partly what he was alluding to.
Simple Queuing Service was mentioned (SQS)
Simple Notification Service (SNS) was not. Did you mean SNS or SQS ?
Yes, I've seen situations like this. As a rule of thumb, problems that fit into the head of one person are more efficiently solved by one person on its own than by a team.
Neat.

Google's Gipfeli (https://github.com/google/gipfeli) also aims for compression ratio and time to fall in between gzip -6 and the fastest algorithms. I've only glanced at code; think it includes a Snappy/LZO/LZ4-like repeat matcher using a hashtable, combined with simple-but-fast entropy coding where each literal input byte becomes 6, 8, or 10 bits.

Super cool that Collet's working on still-pretty-fast-but-better compression out in the open.
Key looks more like they just bashed the home row with a few extensions of the longer fingers.
It's not a merge, unfortunately, it's an eclipsing of perspectives not lucky enough to be the first.
Well, no one else is using that particular static key, so it is a "unique security fabric."

I do love the low key burn of putting that vendor description up front.
Not only the risk of contrast agents, but possible sedation or just plain medical errors.

It might only be 1 or 2 people out of 5,000, but those 5,000 were perfectly healthy and never had cancer to start with.

I can find the up and down easily because they are shaped differently. They are the only keys split horizontally, and the connecting edges are curved inward unlike the other keys. I find them easy to feel fore. I am glad the new keyboard solves this problem for others though, I don't think the full-height left/right keys are particularly better.
Thanks. Dogecoin has a constant tail emission. As supply grows, the rate of new coin inflation shrinks. Dogecoin community rejects the idea that they have a compound (percentage) inflation.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1wuhyj/info_clear...

Dogecoin is a good example of how hard it is to depart from its own narrative, basically, commit a heresy.

Bitflate has a percentage point of 7% inflation. We're going to stick with it for the sake of this experiment. Given what I read, I think it'd be hard to convince Dogecoin to really do percentage point inflation. I'm nobody. Dogecoin community won't bother listening to me. In addition, my project starts out with inflation in the plan. It has reward halving until inflation stops at 7%. The reward schedule looks like this:

0: 50 (supply: 10 million)

1: 25 (supply: 15 million)

2: 12.5

3: 6.25 (end of halving)

4: 6.56 (start of inflation 7%)

5: 7.02

6: 7.51

7: 8.04

8: 8.60

9: 9.20

10: 9.85 (supply: 31 million)

Dogecoin narrative is fun/meme/tip coin. Bitflate narrative is inflation coin. I think narrative is important. Once set, it'll be hard to change. It's possible other communities will switch to inflation. I would consider it a success for our effort. :)
What people consider "hot" can be extremely different. For me any attraction to a woman completely disappears if doesn't have natural brunette hair, isn't interested in STEM, likes cats, has different political views from me, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one with strict preferences. I've always felt like dating apps didn't put enough effort into capitalizing on that. Luckily I'm married and don't have to worry about that anymore.
Really? My Verizon Android gets RFC6598 space.
For me, it's more interesting that Apple did this without a lot of the shady business & licensing practices that Microsoft engages in.

Edit: Before downvoting me, take a look at my comment history. I'm not your typical Apple fan/Microsoft basher.
I would be surprised if Amazon didn't do testing similar to the Google quote above. AWS is insanely complicated, and the problem with an insanely complicated system is there are infinite failure modes (or such a big number it is close enough to infinite for human purposes). As such, it is impossible to test all of them.
I don't see what's misleading here. Doesn't your sentence basically mean the same thing the title does? As you said, microsoft's profits grew slower, and they had lower profits than apple did, which means the story title is far from misleading.
RUN FOR THE HILLS!

On a more serious note, they're going through a tough period, but I expect them to make it through. They are transitioning to a whole new OS, which is too new and rough (I played with a playbook a bit) to carry their product line, while their old OS is not good enough. The good news is that their strong performance until now gives them enough slack to make the transition.

By Holiday Season 2012, they should have both tablets and phones all transitioned to a polished version of QNX, which should allow them to be competitive. The smartphone market is also growing very rapidly, so if they manage to hold onto 2nd or 3rd place with ~15% share, that still means tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of devices sold per year.

All depends on execution however.
Re: the circled numbers; They're all the same width. (1) is the same width as (20).
Why would it take any more time?

If you absolutely need to have user accounts behind the scenes, you can just point your "Try It Now" button to a page that creates a dummy user record "guest6772343/dummypassword" and logs in as that user. Forward to the application, and you're done.

You can have this up and working 5 minutes from now.

EDIT: For an idea of why this is important to do, and how important it is to do it (in terms of how many more users you'll unbounce), here's a writeup of the day we accidentally launched Twiddla, and the consequences of going through the quick 5-minute login-bypass exercise I describe above:

Saying that Robot C is a good example for a compiled language is like saying that watching porn is a good example for a healthy sexual life...
I discovered this really old programming language. Looks like it has not been touched since 1998 and seems to have been created by Douglas Crockford. Has anybody really used this?
Many have opined that that's intended to get people to embrace the built-in malleability and augment the default bindings first thing.
Who should provide security for Amtrak?
Doesn't appear down for me.
Flying RPG?

Now seriously, modern cameras have face recognition and ton of other features. It should be possible to cause crash.
By all means, please suggest a better one. In this day and age I see more and more of the best investigative journalism being done in blogs and not in the mainstream media, so maybe there's a post out there that gives this a thorough treatment?

My point was that I wanted to talk about the facts, not about the people. I did't want to criticize without offering something better, so I grabbed the NYT link.
But I guess I also believe that markets get the products they deserve. And if they choose to support operators that constrain their content choices then they are idiots.

The problem here is that the market for mobile Internet service providers is rather supply-constrained. There aren't a whole lot of players in the game, sadly.

It's a lot easier to stifle competition when it's just you and 2-3 other companies providing service.
The claim is that the author's partner checked a few domains for a website client, went to the client for sign-off, and attempted to register the domain a few hours later. Shock: the client's domain is already registered, the registrant is a college kid who wants $150. The kid claims about a school project and work invested are debunked. The post seems to mostly exist to publish the student's name and the name of his dad, as a stab at retribution.
Might I suggest adding a Facebook "Like" button to the page? I found that the couple of people that "like" it each day via your button both make the site's growth look stronger (the number displayed goes up) as well as traffic increases.

I noticed a significant improvement on traffic to one of my sites after adding the button, so much so that I'd advocate it for any growing community.

(No, I don't work for Facebook)
You don't need to own an Apple product to use MobileMe, it is device agnostic. But you do need to give Apple money for the service itself.
>the entire creative industry is still using those overpriced toys

Are we really still grappling with the idea that some people's time is worth enough that the extra money paid for the laptop isn't a big deal?

I thought we'd gotten past that kind of "ra ra ra GO TEAM!" mindset in terms of the tools we used.

Should we debate the merits of Chevy vs. Ford trucks now?

Maybe I could tell you how much better my football team is.
Ah, here we go. Aaronson 2002 shows that Wolfram's model cannot be consistent with experimental evidence:

In physics, we examine Wolfram's proposal for a deterministic model underlying quantum mechanics, with 'long-range threads' to connect entangled particles. We show that this proposal cannot be made compatible with both special relativity and Bell inequality violation.

When I first read through SICP I stopped early in the book when it got the bit that required Calculus and took a massive detour to understand Calculus. Then I returned to the book, solved the problem, and discovered that the rest book had hardly any difficult math - certainly nothing that required me to know anything beyond high school math. C'est la vie.
I have met someone who did this (my grandfather). Any time he had a difficult goal, he would do this. He also had a partner that was clearly adversarial.

For example, when the goal was weight-loss, his partner would actually put chocolate on his desk every morning. I always thought that seemed counter-productive, but after reading some other comments here, I think that it made it clear that the partner was serious about getting the reward, so was unlikely to renegotiate.
Isn't this what http://openhatch.org/ does?
Hmm, no beta. Love to see a sample chapter.
I understand the nervousness, but I was able to convert a thrift/hector time series model to exactly equivalent CQL3 without too much trouble. The (perhaps non-obvious) options involved were "WITH COMPACT STORAGE" for wide rows and "WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (blah DESC)" for a reversed comparator.

Yes, but I can't imagine many big recording companies wanting to start a fight with police unions.
AT&T is bar none the worst company in the world when it comes to Customer Service. Although, in this case, the conversation could've been applied to just about any support call.
I've never understood why people regard a disc image that installs a custom set of packages from existing repos belonging to an existing distro as an entirely new distro. Does this mean I'm authoring a new distro every time I write a Debian preseed or a RH kickstart?
Yes. I am currently working on one just for shits and giggles. Its called spotted.at http://spotted.at

The things that I am focusing on are

a) realtime
b) not having to provide phone number
c) valid listings (e.g.: listing disappears once item is gone)
i love D, i only wish story where non-gc is needed would improve (more allocator work, more gc free runtime etc)

after trying zig, i also wish C interop was as smooth, but zig has advantage of shipping a clang compiler as library, D could do the same since they got LDC (with LLVM)

i move between zig/rust and D; i'm happy to say that we can live in a world where we can totally ignore c++
Very well put, and I hope at least some people read this and think about it.
I think the bigger sandbag is the single file requirement. I understand why for this type of project and the way it is often deployed by its users that seems like a necessity, but at the same point, we're about to the point that you can assume that ES2015+ browsers also support HTTP/2+, individual file requests are no longer quite the same bottleneck they have been in HTTP/1.x.

In which case you could get away with a "loader" possibly as simple as one <script type="module" src="path/to/modern-lib"></script> and one <script>/* older browser fallback */</script>.
> The study shows that if wages kept up with productivity (as was the case in the immediate post-WW2 era) the bottom 90% would earn $2.5 trillion per year more.

The productivity growth is not a constant number. The productivity of a Machine Learning engineer has increased much more than the productivity of a gas station attendant.

Ahh, so transaction fees fund the infrastructure. Makes sense. I guess what do we do with any excess generated by those fees? Reinvest into the infrastructure? Have it in a safety box for a day when the fees can't cover the cost in the short term? Interesting things to consider I think, but that does flesh that idea out more. I wonder, do they also offer state run accounts instead of private banks holding cash?
I think in general, a nation not overly reliant on just one industry that doesn't actually produce anything tangible is probably a healthy thing in the long run. To a very similar extent, Hong Kong is largely the same as London, the city doesn't even know how to make anything other than ramen anymore. 25 years ago, that city made CPUs, not it's completely beholden by mainland capital.
> That and.. I am also extremely burnt out.

> Working too much during the week for the last 2 years was normal for me

We need to stop normalizing working beyond a 40 hour work week. I can accomplish far more and with greater clarity of purpose, mental acuity and motivation in an actual 40 hours, than I could if I attempt to push myself to 10-12 hours a day.

You could invest into my start up. I'm not asking for anything extraordinary at the moment but our general plan is to start as a computer repair business to fund our research in home automation the link to the page is

https://www.tilt.com/campaigns/help-me-open-a-computer-repai...

Right now I have an IT specialist, a Hardware Engineer, a Web engineer, and a Marketing person. If we could make enough to start on our own enough to quit our day jobs we could have a functional business within a month, because we already have clients.
My idea of them was, they are like string-identifiers, but instead of creating a new string for every string-literal the symbol-literal creates one global, immutable instance.
Imagine this scenario: I'm at a store, looking around, then realized I left my wallet in the car. So I start to exit the store, when suddenly an employee stops me. He may even have a special sales flyer -- but I can't get past him unless I tap him on the shoulder so that he steps aside.

At this point, instead of going to get my wallet, I will get in the car and find another store. It is the same type of irritation that I feel when, after making a purchase, a store employee stops me at the door to check my receipt and compare with the contents of the bag. I've already stood in line for 20 minutes, forked over money, and now they are holding me up for another minute? No thanks.
