I think you'll find that dark roasts are popular now because they have a more robust, classic coffee flavor that stands up to the fat of milk. Lighter roasts seem to come off as citrusy and less flavorful for two reasons. First, roasters tend to use V60s to profile their beans, and the V60 disproportionately removes citrus flavor. The second reason is that many people drink their coffee immediately after brewing, when in fact the flavor completely opens up after the coffee cools down to about 140 degrees (about the temperature of a hot water faucet in a home).

Try a darker roast if you put cream and sugar in your coffee. If you have a lighter roast, be sure to let it cool down to appreciate its benefits. If you buy a medium roast, keep in mind that each type of bean is unique, and certain beans have unique qualities that are highlighted by their roast, so don't assume that the flavors you enjoy are particular to the "medium" roast.

Finally, keep in mind that lighter-roast coffees actually have the most caffeine. This is because heating the coffee breaks down the caffeine molecule, so the longer the roast process and the darker the roast, the more caffeine is broken down.

Can people use another word beside "narrative". Maybe its just me, in the beginning it was cute to use an adjective like a noun, as philosophy likes to do, but its getting tiresome.

I think this piece brings up some good points. Uber and abnb come to mind. They bypass laws in place to regulate industries and in the process force us to think whether these laws need to be amended, rejected, or enforced on the newcomers as well as the established incumbents.

It may be that in some cases a majority can see a moral issue where others see an impediment to progress.

The difficulty is that morals are subjective and change over time but people like to use or refute morals to further their objectives. A startup might say that they stand in the way of progress and better services, someone else might say morals ensure we don't run roughshod over society and take advantage of a certain group.

I think my take is it's better gauged on a case by case basis rather than all good or all bad, but that doesn't sound very appealing for a "narrative"

I can only painfully imagine what pace progress would take if new businesses had to submit the ideas to the startup equivalent to an FDA who regulate new drug impacts, among other things
Storage costs are not low. They are free since Google Spreadsheets do not count towards your Storage Limits. You'll be limited only by the 2M maximum cells a spreadsheet can hold.
No surprise here. Speaking personally, I usually present Slack as IRC with search and a slew of integrations with all sorts of useful services. HipChat is quite neat as well.

There's arguably a case for IRC regardless, e.g. for when you want to be interacting with arbitrary users. Though even there, one might point to WordPress and highlight that they're using Slack for this too.
You mean Signal which was created by Moxie Marlinspike and other legit cryptogaphers and security researchers? Who rolled Telegram's crypto? No idea. Why should we trust them? No idea. I think I'll go with the people who have been contributing to the field for years and are highly respected.

I feel ya! I threw away not one, but two!!! Amiga 500's I had when I moved houses 10 years ago. One wasn't working because I had done the Fat Agnes chip hack where you cut a trace on the MB to enable 1MB of "chip RAM". It worked sporadically and then just stopped one day. The other worked, but my 1084s didn't, so I couldn't use it if I wanted to. Sigh, I wish I hadn't gotten rid of mine...
The person doing the import is one of the ends in that E2E chain...
It's not like it didn't happen before (it happened twice), and their rate diverged from the 1:1. Actually, their rate wasn't that super stable until very recently. The reason why I think they are fully backed is that the crypto-market yield for USD in the last few years have been crazy. So unless you are planning an exit scam, you can't go broke. Even if they are losing money to move the money, or they screw up here or there (get accounts blocked), they can still come on top.

But she is two now and her retired engineer great grandfather built her a little custom wheelchair that affords her a lot more freedom and mobility. At first she’d only go on the wood floors but has gotten stronger and wheels around the carpet now too. She has a five year old sister and they play together all the time.
That does not align with how London, which was ridiculously pro Remain, voted.
Check out Servoy. It is the closest thing that I have seen to FoxPro in terms of productivity and development ecosystem for web stuff.
I was careful enough not to say that most people are sitting in front or close to their personal laptops. I said a lot of people most of the time. (And also didn't say personal, but I guess that doesn't matter.)

The point of the laptop is not checking the messages, but typing them. If you're at home, which is where a lot of us are these days, it's pretty easy to open the laptop and save time on typing.

BTW, not sure why I got downvoted. Maybe it wasn't you, we'll see.
That's exactly how the Bitcoin's payment layer scales. Visa is just one solution, but that's probably the most popular one. The settlement layer doesn't have to scale, because it's possible to scale the payment layer. You get all the benefits of sound money with the usability of fiat money.
What is your evidence for these claims? Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies go through multiple price fluctuations a day. The American dollar currently underpins and backs a majority of the world's financial system [1]. Sure it isn't flawless, but its way better than something that has no backing from anything. I would prefer to use the currency issued by the world's most powerful independent state, because they are probably gonna be around for a while.

I just cannot get Wayland work on a VirtualBox instance of Ubuntu, with the host being MacOS Catalina on an iMac Retina. The screen just keeps flickering.

I would love it if Wayland would work!

I think if people in general see a comment that has been upvoted heavily they are less likely to contribute their opinion to it if they agree with it. I like not being able to see its weight as I feel like more readers will comment with their opinions rather than just upvote, which creates more discussion, etc (I have no numbers to back this up, just what I believe).

I saw Captain America Winter Soldier this week, and of course it's a prime example of what the author is saying. But it did refute one of his minor points, the timeliness of current movies. It seemed perfectly in tune with the post-Snowden era.
The writing on that makes me understand that the author really loves movies. And loves them perhaps a bit too much in the sense that any entertainment medium is, at its heart, a fashion medium, and fashions change.

I agree with him that franchises get boring, but he seems to miss the part where I, the movie-goer, stop going to movies and so the studios notice and stop making them and try to make something else. My daughter and I were noting that all the TV shows seemed to be police procedurals with a police officer and a "quirky side kick" of some sort. That concept got run right into the ground. And now all of them are 'Game of Thrones' clones where their is some nominal "set" and within that set are created no fewer than a dozen inter-twined story lines of competition and intrique. And because they want to have a dozen or more story lines, many of them are just plain silly.

My point is that it sucks when something you love moves on from what you love into something new[1]. But it isn't the end of the world, nor is it necessarily the end of an industry. It is just the new, new thing.

I would argue it depends on the nature of the system. If the system follows (simple) rules then you can likely compress the description of the system into something that fits into a (small) subsystem. If the system and its behavior is a uncompressible mess this will not work out. Up to now, I would say, our universe with all its relatively simple laws of physics looks pretty structured and easily compressible.
I'd like to spin this conversation around a bit. Here is where I would be concerned if I ever wanted to work with you:

You are a contractor who normally charges $150 an hour. You have an inside lead into a potential contract for a company in distress on a project and you know how to complete the work. You believe that your time in this case is actually worth way more than $150 (66% more) and you would like help in getting additional money for your services.

First, you assume there is no risk in writing the software up front and then charging for it. I have had many contracts "in the bag" that turned out to be not so sure after all. You are taking on the risk of writing the software before talking to the client (read: the person who actually pays you a check). This is troublesome, especially for something as short as a 100 hour contract.

Second, this is a 100 hour contract, or so you estimate. Is that really worth the upfront risk of writing it early? I guess you could argue that "it's only 100 hours! Not 10,000, so it's no risk at all." Well, to me that's a $15,000 risk at your rate.

Third, you say that the additional value associated with charging $250 instead of $150 is in the fact that your solution will save them money on operations costs for years to come. While you are probably very right, it will save them money for years to come, isn't that what we all strive for? To make the most efficient running code possible that ultimately saves the client time and money? Would you ever say something like this "Well for $250 an hour I can write code that runs more efficiently, but for $150 an hour I will only write code that squeaks by on the most expensive hardware possible"?

So, if I were in your spot I would not write the solution up front. I would definitely go in and sell them on your solution at your normal, $150/hr, rate with a pleasant but straight forward presentation and good reference. I would explain to them that you are charging your normal rate because it is fair and that others might charge them more because of there situation and that you will be fair and honest with your time and their money. I would estimate the time needed to complete the project then I would get it done and deliver it on time. 100 hours is about 2.5 weeks.

Then you will get paid $15,000 AND you will get something more. You will get a really happy client who will need more work, improvements on what you just made, and be a fantastic reference for your other clients. If all goes well, your name will be passed around to their clients all over the place. That is worth way more than a few $1000 extra in fees.
What about uncached? Imagine the user opens a file and immediately issues a command "go to line 12345". Or is go to line not implemented at this time?
HackerNews, where you can't just vent because the developer will show up to shame you. Thanks redox! (not sarcasm)
Hmm... I could give you a link to a Google Drive folder full of articles on factors to behavioral variability and stereotypy.

But you'd have to do the digging yourself, or find an authoritative review article that summarizes current state of research (much better), as I'm a bit lazy.

I understand the internet has this culture of expecting someone who makes a claim to have the burden of proof to present citations, but honestly, it's too much work, and not even scientists do this. Instead, they have unpaid laborers do it for them for free.
A blogger is a person who writes a blog. What's Zuckerberg's blog? (hint: Facebook is not a blog. Even if it was, Zuckerberg would have to write blog entries on it for even some part of Facebook to count as his blog)
I've often wondered the same. Section 1.1 of their user agreement:

"1.1 Coinbase helps you make payments to and accept payments from third parties. Coinbase also provides a bitcoin wallet service where you can store your bitcoin. Coinbase also allows users to buy and sell bitcoin. Coinbase is an independent contractor for all purposes. Coinbase does not have control of, or liability for, the products or services that are paid for with Coinbase services. We do not guarantee the identity of any user or other party or ensure that a buyer will complete a transaction. Coinbase is not a money transmitter. Coinbase assists its users in Bitcoin transactions."

https://coinbase.com/legal/user_agreement

You hook up a bank account, "transmit" funds from a bank, receive virtual currency (and in reverse) but they are an independent contractor, assisting with the process. Very interesting approach.

A simple person might say the service very much looks like a money transmission, money exchanging business. The fees for acting as a money transmitter without licenses is supposedly up to $1k/incident.
Do you mean 80% less or 80% of what you currently make? You make good points either way, just curious.
I think you are overestimating the understanding of the average magazine reader. I'm not trying to insult magazine readers (even though it is "Time" we are talking about). Computers are still "black boxes" to most people, and there's nothing wrong with that. The fact that they are is a testament to designers, engineers and developers doing their jobs well.

Kudos to your Mom, who I'm guessing knows what a browser cache is from talking with you, but this detail is technical enough that a quick explanation is in order.

This definition is concise and descriptive and isn't long enough to derail the gist of what the article is talking about.

Unit test coverage isn't static analysis. It's practically the opposite of static analysis.
One of the interesting things that has happened with the increase in inequality is the ability for more people to say, "No, I'm not rich. that guy is rich." Because as inequality rises, the people you compare yourselves to are much further away than they used to be. That's how people making 10x the median income can, with a straight face, declare themselves to be "middle class". Inequality itself is used to justify other inequality.

Having lived and traveled in developing nations, I am perfectly happy to call what I have "luxury". Which is exactly what most of the world would call it: http://gumption.org/1993/memo/landmarks/global_income.html
"Configurability is the root of all evil"

I'm getting so tired of the overuse of this principle. Look, I don't care what options are available (really...) when I'm dealing with a word processor, or a spreadsheet program, or whatever. I expect people who don't use a computer so much might say the same thing about their web browser or email client.

But a shell (and a text editor, and a window manager) is an extremely general tool by necessity, and I have a very specific way in which I use it to get things done. If a highly configurable terminal can make that marginally easier, over time it's worth it.

I don't disagree that many/most programs could do with fewer options and more informed choices on the part of the developer, but there's nothing inherently wrong with putting well-considered options into your program.

I love simple, discoverable interfaces as much as the next guy, but let us not stray too far from "fast" and "powerful" in search of "pretty" and "simple", where it counts.

Israel had a very good starting point - the 4 mandatory healthcare providers (Clalit, Maccabi, Leumit, Meukhedet), who due to a voucher system could only compete on service. They had every interest to digitize and improve efficiency over the past decade or so.

That's why they did digitize - every resident has a digital medical file, and healthcare providers can easily track and report back to Pfizer and the ministry of health on side effects and efficacy (i.e. it's easy to look up who got the vaccine and when, when they get admitted to a hospital with COVID).
Vaccine production started way before the Phase 3 results were out. You cannot know ahead of time for which vaccines you should make a strong bet. Now we can prop-up production of the successful vaccines and they are doing so.

Anyway, getting the first vaccines is always going to be zero-sum for the same reason getting first-row in a concert is zero sum.
Interesting offering. This is where you want a battery (electric car counts as one). Costs need to come down first.
The problem I have with your comment is likely the reason the scientists were worried about how best to communicate their results:

"sexual orientation is not the expression of any one gene" is not the same as "people are not born gay".

It may be a complex genetic interaction or it may be some other effect at play, but whatever it is, it doesn't contradict that people don't choose their sexual orientation.

Since people have justified all sorts of atrocities based on the misconception that being queer is a choice for people that they could just not make, I can understand scientists who want to make sure their research doesn't fuel that again.
Surprisingly it also has some planned tram lines in Poland. Quite neat.
> The same applies to German, what is spoken today isn't much like the German spoken 150 years ago.

This is an amazing piece of information, even more incredible it is the fact the modern speakers can read Nietzsche with no problem at all, what a fantastic coincidence.

I mean, what native German speaker could even begin to understand this Schiller poem, it is 200! years old!! It could be very well be written in proto-Germanic:

An den Frühling

Willkommen, schöner Jüngling!

Du Wonne der Natur!

Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen

Willkommen auf der Flur!

Denkst auch noch an mein Mädchen?

Ei, Lieber, denke doch!

Dort liebte mich das Mädchen

Und’s Mädchen liebt mich noch!

Willkommen, schöner Jüngling!

Du Wonne der Natur!

Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen

FWIW, I didn't like slatestar codex, but I still find this piece really slimy.
Quote: "Whenever I have to come up with an example of a cheap app that performs poorly, feels clunky, and frustrates the user every time they use it, one particular app comes to mind. I won’t name the company...."

Yeah, I can. It's called Microsoft and is the main reason why I stopped using Skype, after like almost 2 decades of using it exclusively. Their Skype app is clunky, on both desktop (with that horrible responsive times due to their horrible implementation of ElectronJS) and mobile. Main reason to use an IM app on mobile is to have notifications fire up when you receive a message. Why Whatsapp /FB messenger / Signal can do this reliably and Skype is missing like 30% of messages? My wife, when we used Skype, had to actively open Skype to verify that she didn't missed my messages. Nowadays, hate or love Zucky, we use WA / FB mess and never had a single message notification missed.

There are many interesting ideas about how to come up with a "fair" online dating market.

But I guess everyone is completely disregarding the basics of human nature, attraction is mostly based on "looks/facial aesthetics":

In a free/unregulated sexual market, women are the selectors, not men. Women are biologically hardwired to select good looking males (irrespective of his money, personality or social status). Therefore ugly people don't get matches. Very simple.

No matter how many ways you try to engineer/fix the system, it's not going to work. Because the existing system is already doing what it is supposed to do.
$24 billion. That's the increase in market value as of 15 minutes before the open. This has to be a record for a CEO announcing he's leaving. I've always wondered how much these types of things bruise the egos of the retiring execs.

You can definitely get in a mode where you need to pull yourself out of the house, but I never get lonely.. Mostly because I communicate with my coworkers constantly. Probably more than I have at most brick-and-mortar operations. We idle in a Skype chatroom all day long, and I participate in at least a half dozen skype calls a day.. sometimes ones that become just two hour co-coding sessions.

The real need to get out is just a need to spend some time in the sunshine, or walking.. funny little things that happen on accident when you're commuting :)
