Contrast SF's dysfunction with Houston, one of the conservatives' model cities. Houston's streets are clean, public parks seem to have the quality one would associate with private ones, there's no graffiti or homeless folks in the streets.

The business-friendly environment means that there is constant development and affordable housing prices. You can actually own a huge and beautiful house in a gorgeous and safe neighborhood for under $300k.

Imagine that.
Yeah I find the comparison kinda hard to follow too.

Actually, Brackets has a built in extension manager. You can find a list of extensions here - https://brackets-registry.aboutweb.com/ - and in the product you can go to File->Extension Manager.

All the extensions in the registry can be installed from within Brackets.
What's the difference between using Vert.x with DynJS and using Nodyn? Nodyn is ment to be a drop-in replacement for Node.js right?
It has admittedly been several years, but I distinctly remember MIT Scheme being an utter pain in the ass to get built. I'd recommend Racket for people just getting off the ground for that reason alone.
It is statistically evident that the income gain arising from getting a Ph.D. in negligible, and comes very late in one's life. Maybe it's better to do something else. At least if you are smart enough to get a Ph.D., you can also do a lot of other cool stuff which is all but certain to bring more cash and fun.

Haven't read the piece, but will say this (which is blindingly obvious to everyone except those in control of the system):

All you need to do to get a good secondary education system is to hire good graduates,train them and support their professional development.

What does not work is hiring idiots, de-skilling the job, filling the day with busy work and other pointless nonsense.
I think having choice of desktop environment is a good thing. However, I do think he has some point on interoperability.

Copy/paste for example, works differently in desktop apps vs terminals, etc.

File selectors is another thing. I like the KDE one and the file selector is the reason I ditch gnome altogether, but best would be if KDE programs used gnome file dialog when running gnome, and if gtk programmes used KDE for dialogue of user ran KDE.
>Premise 1: There are many worlds.

The premise is called the plenitude principle.
"The principle of plenitude asserts that the universe contains all possible forms of existence."[1] You first see it in Plato's work like in the Cave Allegory. You can make a compelling argument that the plenitude principle was the precursor to the ideas of a multiverse and evolution.

Loose coupling allows the "shiny thing of the week" folk to not wreak havoc on the "good engineering" folk.

When DEs like Unity followed Microsoft down the disastrous blind alley of "desktops should act like tablets", that was OK because the loose coupling allowed by defined protocols like ICCCM meant that I could wait it out in XFCE.

The fact that practically every distro has gone with systemd, and that the couplings are tight, means that I have to leave Linux entirely to wait out this disaster.
Sure, when you scale it up to the something the size of a city, then you can say "We want to be able to handle X major incidents at the same time over the entirety of the city."

My point is that X will continue to shrink (as has been the trend for decades), but never hit 0, and you can only consider a limited area before response times become an issue (even if you somehow got to the place where you were very confident there would never be more than one concurrent fire in the UK, obviously you couldn't reduce staffing to a single company).
I am using the PMSA003 for the PMx sensor, the DS-CO2-20 for the CO2 sensor, and was about to order this sensor breakout for CO and other gasses though currently it looks out of stock: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Multichannel-Gas-Sensor-v2...

I might play around with the BME680 but it’s VOC detection is very rudimentary and it does eCO2 which is basically a guess. There is also the MICS-6814 breakout for relatively cheap on AliExpress but reviews on it are mixed, saying it uses the wrong values for its resistors and capacitors and it’s not as accurate as the Grove one. The Grove board is the only one that measures separate gasses separately instead of measuring total gasses and then using a formula to try to divide the number down to expected parts.

In practice, who knows. I need to lay my hands on all of them. If I could get all this into a controlled environment to test it all that would really be ideal.

Thanks for that link, it was a great read and the comments were helpful as well.
Yet you have 14k karma on what is practically a geek social network ;-)
What does this mean? I don't use spotify. Are you saying when you go to listen to an album it will put a random song into the queue?
Yes, but this would not have been something common for the era. Very late 90s I already had a 32MB flash card and PCs were starting to lose the floppy drive.
> There is zero excuses to C in userland in 2020.

I wouldn't go quite that far. I'm generally in the C++ camp (rather than C, that is) but there are significant advantages to a compact and stable language, and real disadvantages to a sprawling disaster like C++ that grows still more monstrously complex every few years.

This topic turned up a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21946060

Your point stands though: well written modern C++ should be much less prone to memory-safety issues than well written modern C.
It’s interesting that one using data as a selling point is worse than one that doesn’t. In any case, Apple gives you access to all information they have on you and you can opt-out with a click. I’m not sure that’s a differentiator in any case.
Java websphere stack is such a waiting game. Besides I don't love code.
Although that's cool, OP aimed his question at "developers who are being paid to write code".
You're not looking around enough. What do you think all those articles about marketing, promoting your startup & co., getting to $Nk passive income per month are about? Look past the flowery language.
Have you asked them on each of their forums if there is a policy on what domains are acceptable to use for email to avoid having the account locked out? Their users will want to know if they are at risk.
S-expressions are more readable than C-syntax to me. Readability is about familiarity.

The task of comparing English with Russian in terms of readability is not a clear task at all and it's hard to determine how such a judgement would be made.

I would argue that it's just as hard to genuinely judge the readability of S-expr vs. C-syntax.

People whose first language is in Russian obviously find the Cyrillic alphabet to be more readable and wonder why anyone would use anything else. To me Russian looks like scribbling.
Try jumping in the pool and swimming first thing. :) I love waking up like that.

a light therapy is mentioned which may help in correcting the sleeping hours.
It's all about incentives. Plug and Play's business model is people paying for office space. So, they take anybody who comes and is willing to pay their prices for real estate, and they try to call investors in so that the people paying for office space can present to them.

Investors want to see a bunch of qualified, filtered startups. So, the incubators/accelerators that provide "good deal flow" for the investors have the best reputations with the investment community. Plug and Play doesn't provide that.
I'm a bit puzzled by the assertion that we used to believe the wind pulled the leaves from the trees. Does the wind not blow in spring and summer?
The key binding is the same as in biolab disaster. And it sort of looks the same. But awesome-awesome. Multiplayer coming soon?
I don't know the figures you are looking at, but an average salary isn't the same as the median salary. It's like that old joke: "Bill Gates walks into a bar and makes everyone a millionaire, on average." One programmer getting a $500K salary and 10 getting $50K leaves a $90K average.

Now if you are just using the words average and median as substitutes and are seeing figures talking about $80K _median_ salaries, then the "location/experience" are likely to be the explanation, but if you really are hearing about average salaries, you have to factor in that, in systems with the characteristic imbalance of wages, something like 85% of programmers will get below-average salaries.
> Noon is a local event that occurs when the sun is due south.

"When the sun lies neither east nor west of a particular point on the surface of the Earth."

At least, if you want "noon" to be something that happens everywhere on Earth.
Can you explain why?

Pulsar looks nice, but I'm not quite sure why users (especially new ones) should prefer it.
One giant problem, which you seem to be suffering from, is lumping in radical anti-vaxxers who would willingly waste doses with people that are questioning the safety of the vaccines. These people are looking to have an open discussion on the positives and negatives to getting the vaccine, but instead find themselves the victims of name calling and censorship.

Conflating the vaccine hesitant with the radicals you mention is done on purpose of course, but there’s a real cost. You are alienating and further radicalizing fence sitters. Censorship of open discussion can also be seen as confirming their possible view that vaccine manufacturers are ”hiding something“.
IIRC that actual expert had been informed it was fake before he tasted it, so it sounded like a BS claim to me.
STATEWIZE is an all-in-one solution where you can develop your backend, manage the work, and host your code without the hassle of DevOps.
I am not interested in this discussion, as I have had it dozens of times (probably hundreds over the past 20 years) and find the effort tedious.
Borland killed itself by switching to services.
>> I can't tell whether or not you understand that 5% is supposed to be the base chance of getting colorectal cancer.

I suggest the following as an easy to make, strong interpretation of my comment: "5% chance is already pretty high and I would prefer to do nothing that increases it any further".

To clarify, that was the intepretation I had in mind when writing the comment (and still now).

Edit:

>> Cancer in general is very common, we basically all get it eventually in some form or other.

That sounds counterintuitive and from a cursory look at incidence statistics, it seems to be an exaggeration. e.g. Wikipedia says:

About 20% of males and 17% of females will get cancer at some point in time while 13% of males and 9% of females will die from it.[196]

This is very similar to what I'm currently doing, just borrowing against my Bitcoin holdings using MakerDAO, I have good liquidity on a day to day basis and my Bitcoin is still appreciating.
Intellimeds.net gives 8% off.
Wow oh my gosh! Michelle is that you? Thank you SO much for sharing your experience using Chorus. Being a former fellow Twillion myself it means so much to me to get to share it with the Twilio community.
Yes, I agree there's definitely a place for Kubernetes. If you have thousands of engineers working on an application then workflow management becomes a very real concern. I've seen a lot of organizations adopt Kubernetes well before then though and I feel like it's a mistake. I didn't mean to imply that all Kubernetes applications should move to SQLite but that SQLite is a viable option for most small to medium sized applications with moderate uptime requirements.
We do local cookie delivery[1]. We run our own mapping software and have our own drivers so most of the software is internal facing.

Talked about it on Indie Hackers podcast[2], where i briefly mention SQLite as well.

I wonder if they're going to investigate why there were more shares being traded in various forms than were in existance.

Or is that what they're trying to distract from?

Eh. I'm a graduate student in mathematics, and it unless a problem is more or less trivial, it takes too long to force Mathematica to do what I mean.

Also I agree with a poster below: this press release is really low on the signal-to-noise.
Agreed, I had him as well and he was a big inspiration. Perhaps the beginning of a broader shift in industry vs. academia?
> Is that supposed to be better?

There already exists laws that act very similarly to what people are proposing.

Specifically these laws are called common carrier laws, as they apply to phone systems, for example.

Do you believe that the existing laws, that apply to phone networks, are tyrannical or worse or bad?

I don't think it is unreasonable to consider how our existing laws, that most people find reasonable, such as the ones that already apply to phone companies, could be updated to the modern era, so as to apply to newer communication networks.
Hmm, it seems like that is a bit out of date. Look at package.json for a more accurate list of dependencies. I'll get that cleaned up.

No doubt that's the subtext but this happens EVERYWHERE. Have you ever downloaded a whitepaper for any vendor and then get harrassed with 4-5 times about talking about it?

That sounds gentle in comparison. I would use the opportunity to ask for free swag or training if it was possible. :)
As someone who is not in the field but reads about it from time to time I see the same theme over and over: The formatting, consistency, and manual cleanup of data. The theme of data scientists who are "data janitors" that spend most of their time "cleaning data" is a consistent one.
Here is an alternative theory that does not depending on the color of people skins.

The reason they did not do a risk assessment for every trump gathering is because there has been a lot of trump gatherings and it was the Jan. 6 pro-Trump protests that devolved into violence.

Don't attribute racism what could just as easily be attributed to complacency.
Isn't it that a mentor will tell you how to shoot the goal, but you could use a coach to decide which goal to shoot?:)
True to a point, but come on - one has to admit that Visual Studio, overall, is vastly easier to use to develop software as the equivalent typical Unix environment. Setting project dependencies (linking with other libraries), for example, is after 30 years still a topic that make me want to stab myself in the eyes every time I need to (again) look up how to change the makefile. That is, if they're using make, which sucks but which most people use. But if they're using, oh, scons, or a custom one like boost, well good luck making _any_ changes to that without spending hours just getting up to speed.

There may be some minor counterexamples, but overall, Visual Studio is a _vastly_ superior development experience (for C++) than any other environment.
Wouldn't poor 3G speeds also be a good reason for someone to use their iPhone less? If AT&T's policy changes skim off the top 2% of heavy users the remaining 98% are going to end up with a better experience and possibly use their iPhone more. It's hard to frame it only in terms of bandwidth too. Apple must make more revenue off the person who buys a $10/20MB game than they do from another user downloading the free Netflix app and streaming 1GB/month of data.
Come on, Ctrl+ZXCV are so ingrained into the fingers of people who type a lot that having to learn a whole new set of shortcuts does not seem an efficient route. You are not likely to keep them, anyway (since it's way easier to customize Emacs to a common set than other apps). I remember resorting to use my mouse almost always. Nowadays, after having customized Emacs, I'm a keyboard junkie.
Sounds interesting. What does tptacek say?
By coincidence (though I don't think it is coincidence) Jeff Atwood's latest blog post at Coding Horror, "The Vast and Endless Sea" (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2010/06/the-vast-and-endles...) is about the same thing: how offering lots of money is detrimental for creativity and motivation.

I agree with his recommendation at the end: watch the 10 minute video "RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us".
The only way that this would be fair would be for usage to stop the second a cap was reached and then user agreement to pay extra. I hate the kind of charges where you're constantly wondering how much you're spending.
That's somewhat reasonable, but ISPs are not reasonable.
They cannot say no to the free money from overage charges, and the rate-limiting "solution" lets them defer infrastructure spending almost indefinitely.

It hardly ever works out in a reasonable manner.

I've lived in 3 countries with traffic caps, and it almost always ended in tears, and made me rather bitter about the whole thing.

I still have a copy of my $900 internet bill somewhere.

And rate-limiting would be great if it was to something reasonable like oh, I don't know, minimum 512/1024Kbps? Surfing at dialup speeds is virtually impossible for a household in this day and age, and that's what the majority of them drop you down to.

Great, "20MBps" internet. That you can use for 5 days, and then its 64Kbps for the rest of the month, sucker.
Well, search is their primary service; their web indexing algorithms are sort of their Mother of All Secret Sauces. You wouldn't expect Coke to publish the exact recipe.
So use a gui like Nemiver if you don't want to deal with a cli.
I think GP is referring to a number of "moon shots" at Google that aren't (strictly) software like self-driving cars, drone delivery, and longevity treatments.
If it's okay to lose an update or two every now and then, you can send individual UDP packets with something like JSON or MessagePack in them. Otherwise use a raw TCP socket. No need for a framework and HTTP just to communicate.

For bigger systems, RabbitMQ is pretty nice.

Bah! Should've seen that. Nice!
Chrome apps are already the desktop mode :) There's also stuff like Chromium Embedded Framework[1] which Atom used to use[2]. AppJS[3] sounds the most similar to what it sounds like you want, though. I've never tried it, but it seems like it'd work well enough (Chromium-based).

Not everybody knows they're using noscript.

Like my friends when they borrow my laptop, for example.
It's using similarity search[0]. You transform audio files into vectors using some embedding model like vggish[1], then index those vectors. Then turn the query audio file into a vector the same way, and search the index for vectors similar to your query.

Full disclosure: I work for Pinecone, which provides similarity search as a service... Including for audio data.

I'm not sure how this could be fixed though. Uber tells the drivers that they have to comply with ADA for legal reasons but if the drivers still don't then Uber is liable? It kind of feels like me suing a grocery store because someone pushed me into a wall that was built by the store.

Uber could definitely do more (like banning drivers that don't comply and allowing passengers and drivers to indicate their disabilities in the app for example) but I don't see how this is Uber's fault more than the drivers'.

While all these issues have taken place, AV vendors have solved them and nowadays it's safer to have them running when you need to work with the software you download from the net. If you run nothing but e.g. Windows + some web browser and _never_ download any executables you may as well not run any AV at all. Lastly, Windows Defender has become really good recently, so you don't even need to worry about that.
honestly, I've done this several times. if you have the money to go half a year without trouble, and your career has been good so far, you can probably do fine. It is extremely hard to juggle working while interviewing. I've only done it a couple times, but it really meant waking up at 5:00 in the morning so I could get interviews done before my day started. if you're honest about why you left a job, it doesn't seem like people really care. also you have to stay active in work while you were not employed. have a project you want to work on, or a thing you want to learn, now is the time. People love to see that
Thomas is right. Social media platforms are a natural monopoly, their value for users is proportional to the size of their user-base.

I would have said a shortage of donor organs would be a reason to force this? Maybe not an acceptable reason to you, but still a fairly strong reason.

No, they should have just edited out the question at the beginning, seeing as the article isn't in a Q&A format anyway. Then the company history wouldn't have felt out of place.
Too bad Bob Stupak died last year.
It's sounding to me like your question is really "if email is sent to the address you use to login to paypal, will you see it promptly?"
Unless you're away from your usual location for a couple of weeks, in which case this type of remote hosting is pretty darn useful (unless your primary computer is your smartphone, but not everyone has one).
Ever since this article (http://www.wired.com/entertainment/theweb/magazine/17-09/ff_...) in Wired, reading about Craig Newmark, and obviously being a user of the service, I've been dying for someone to come to the rescue as well. The web is about evolution, and relics are sure to die. I hate eBay and Paypal with the same passion. I hope small agile startups can eat their lunch too (go WePay!).
I think "Legos" is a US-specific usage. In NZ, Australia and UK I've only ever heard people say "built it out of Lego".
The problem most authors (artists) face is not piracy, but obscurity.

Not condoning piracy, but simply an observation. (I'm skeptical that people who pirate the e-books would necessarily otherwise purchase them, so I'm always uncertain about estimates of "losses" like in this article. Many times someone will download it to just check it out, similar to flipping through it in a bookstore, which you don't have to pay for.)
This made me think of what is potentially a very large market - kids toys. As any parent will tell you, an awful lot of toys (especially for young kids) are cheap bits of plastic where the only "value" is the associated licensing of a brand/character from someone like Disney.

Those are the sites who are not doing their job properly and there's no reason to adapt to their solution. Getting rid of passwords tout-court may seem convenient but it's really bad for security.

Awesome idea -- makes sure a gift is relevant to the person you're buying for.
