If you are building debug interfaces in the app instance, makes sense to design the wording as the end customer would see it.

We'll make mistakes, its better to be proactive.

The best thing to do is use emacs. I've through switching from vim to emacs. It was difficult for me at first until I ended up removing vim from my computer to force me to learn emacs. I would recommend org-drill[0] to pop-quiz you. Develop your own work flow with org-mode and organize your stuff with it.

You're still young at 22 and it's [i.e. having difficulty making /real/ friends] not nearly as unusual or bad as your posting suggests you think and feel.

Looking at facebook and seeing people with hundreds of so-called friends will give the wrong impression. Of those hundreds, nearly all will have no interest in the ups or downs of life. A "like" to some bullshit picture of your dinner or of drunken vomiting on your SUV hood is not friendship, but for lots of people, they think it is.

I've been acquainted with hundreds of people, even being close and going out to bat for them. But, with literally 2 or 3 exceptions, not one person has ever stuck around and shown what I'd call true friendship. As soon as things got tough and I could have done with some support, they were gone - stopped answering phone calls or emails, type of gone. Talk about being kicked when down.

But, looking around, I saw that this was not me being singled out for shitty treatment. It was actually pretty common and even normal. And it makes it really difficult for people going through tough times; I've known people who were plunged into despair and depression at being abandoned and even shunned by people they trusted.

Despite it not being trendy (or, nowadays, politically correct), find out if there is a local church (or whatever equivalent matches your background) that seems sensible (shop around and avoid fringe extremes!) and has some social events. You may not find people who will become lifelong friends (almost certainly not) and you may even disagree with their views on many things, but if you shop around, you should find somewhere you at least feel welcomed and supported in a way that you appear to need just now.

I don't think you need fixed. A little bit more life experience and perspective that you're not so different after all will help.
I'm guessing just one or a small number of servers were in debug mode by accident, thus like winning the lottery that your request hits a debug server.
Yes. You should always assume that your test and debug strings will leak some day, because they probably will. As boring as it gets, they should at least be professional.
`use v6;` actually means "use the latest version of Perl 6". I believe you can even do `use v6.b` and other versions to target specific releases of Perl 6, though I'm not sure if that's implemented yet.

Some text editors also will change to a Perl 6 highlighter if this pragma is present.

Curated reviews of gadgets and home goods
Technology goes really fast. 20 years is insane, I'm not sure I'd bet a technology business on where we'd be in 20 years. 5 seems risky but worth thinking through. Probably not worth planning for except in the most abstract of ways.
Ah, yes, I've used something similar in the past too. It's great for being able to see what fields you can access, but it's not guaranteed to be up-to-date with the database.

I think the biggest problem for our team is that people will have differing migrations on their respective branches. When they move around to other branches, these migrations will cause parts of the code to break, and it can be difficult to diagnose why. Enforcing the schema up front prevents these issues and helps us avoid stale/incorrect database state.
It's like bars I think. Depends on what kind of people you are comfortable hanging out with. Most of the time I'd rather be by myself than hang around drunks.
Facebook is not worth $33B
I'm wondering why the "meticulous design" still looks like an explosion in a GUI widget factory.

In the screenshots I'm looking at, there are dropdowns inside panels inside tabs inside more panels. There are five tab bars. There are completely unnecessary icons for "cut", "copy", and "paste". There's a "Subversion" menu and a "Git" menu at the same time. There's... a user switcher? I don't even know what that means. The actual code takes up like 40% of the screen.

Is this actually what programmers want from an IDE, or just what they have come to expect?
I thought for a moment that it actually said "Cloud 9 IDE". Seriously, why does CHE look like a Cloud 9 + IntelliJ clone?
There isn't one because it doesn't make sense. As facebook has proven, people generally want one place that gives them the stuff they indicate they want to see. A federated system means more work for the average person.

I think federated systems generally (even governmental) aren't sustainable because they require too much effort from individual users for them to remain good - so they trend toward single or few "owners."

Now I understand, and I noticed that the article is talking about paid leave. Still, paid or unpaid, it's negotiable. A person who wants to stop working could presumably do so, but a lot of workers find it desirable to balance career and family.

Neither my spouse nor I had paid leave. We both banked cash and vacation days. She took unpaid leave, and I burned up my vacation time. I didn't quit my job per se, but did rearrange my job situation to accommodate the needs of an expanded family: I got myself promoted, took a few months off my second job, and designed a new product for my side business.

We're super happy with TypeScript in Angular, it's working great for us, and having the option (!) to easily use it will be great for Angular users.

A note on all the praise for type inference: local type inference is super cool as it saves on a lot of boiler plate (`Foo foo = new Foo(); // foo` anyone?).

But global type inference, i.e. across function and module boundaries, has its drawbacks. Apart from performance cost, the most important is IMHO understandability. If you don't have explicit types across module boundaries, it can easily become hard to decide just what a type is supposed to be, e.g. if your code doesn't compile, but the compiler cannot tell you which part of it is wrong, because all the types are inferred. That can easily lead to "wall of text" C++ compiler style error messages. Same if some new library version changes type inference patterns, your code might suddenly break in surprising and hard to understand ways.

I think TypeScript's (& Go's) choice of local type inference is a good mix of less boilerplate and good understandability, together with gradual typing via `any`.
This is a bit pedantic, but you wouldn't write about Perl in all caps, as it's not actually an acronym (but it is a backronym)

Welcome to the Perl subculture!
Eh, you're talking about a company that once named its ad serving system SmartASS.

You can be professional and have fun at the same time. (Or at least most Google engineers believe so.)
You can be funny without being eerie. Reddit has a bit of always-on debug text hidden under a π as an homage to The Net, and I don't think anyone gets creeped out by that.
> Just what is wrong with say, spending some of that money to fund research into say, quantum computing or medicine? Does every damn thing have to be applicable to the next iPhone?

Things probably need a business plan backing them, which involves making money. Usually for social advancement we lobby the government to fund said research for our betterment. The private industry tends to fund research for its own betterment.

Also phrased another way, I imagine AAPL shareholders would be upset if Apple spent those profits on research into medicine, unless Apple was trying to build a product to sell said Medicine.

I think Society in general can benefit but it can be harder to see and the motives may often appear "after the fact", they may not have been an actual goal. Are people healthier due to health fitness trackers? Will doctors have better care due to the deluge of data? Can researchers actually get better data from cloud sourcing informatics, allowing their published work to happen faster or iterate on ideas quicker?

I wouldn't put a business plan on those goals, but I'll take them as a side effect for a gadget that everyone buys for whatever reason.
Three Months, Now What?
I don't find it confusing, I find that the man is confused about economics. I already listed the main points in my post above, although admittedly this stuff is clearer when spelled out over 100 pages of a textbook with a bunch of examples, clear formulae, and discussion of competing theories versus a post on Hacker News[1]

MMT agrees with most of the points Wilson and Riley make (ie. that exporting is a cost and importing is a benefit, referred to in the article as "Seignorage", and lower transaction costs) but they're incorrect on the notion that one of the advantages of being the reserve currency is the ability to "run up huge amounts of debt at low interest rates" -- the US doesn't need to borrow US dollars, it creates US dollars. If they're referring to the advantage in being that the US private sector has been able to borrow US dollars from foreigners cheaply, then maybe that's a benefit I'm not really sure but they could just as easily have gotten that money from other banks with accounts at the Fed anyway (so long as there was sufficient cash reserves to satisfy the demand for dollars!)

Interesting. One layout they did not consider is the bit-reversal permutation[1] of the sorted array. Searching is straightforward: to find element i, you reverse the bits of i -- so then, you can just binary search. This layout is similar to Eytzinger, so it should perform at least as well, and it may have some advantages.

I do this all the time. You want the Vim plugin YouCompleteMe[1]. It integrates with clang and gives you real-time C++ code completion and linting, plus a semantic jump-to-definition that outdoes ctags for most symbols (though it doesn't go outside the translation unit so ctags is still useful for finding implementations).

Media necessarily presents an abstraction of reality to the viewer. However, the pervasive and distributed nature of information gathering and dissemination in the Internet age opens that abstraction up to people in a way that simply wasn't possible when all media was "black boxes" (television, radio, newspaper, etc.) Media now encompasses people uploading footage to Youtube from their phones in the middle of a war zone.

The premise of Baudrillard's argument as I understand it - that the model of reality created by media is useless fiction and propaganda, which must, one assumes, be rejected out of hand as postmodernists seem to want to do - has possibly become more tenuous over time. Although some would (and do) assert that the fabrication of reality by corporate and government interests has only exploded exponentially and become even more pervasive, and that the appearance of fine-grained truth presented by social media is, itself, only a more elaborate set of lies.

This phenomenon, by which reality is described through abstractions and attempts at narrative, is everywhere - and it's arguably unavoidable, given that the very nature of human consciousness is a post-hoc hallucination generated by the unreliable narrator that is the brain. Should science dismiss all of its theories as incredulous nonsense because its models are falsifiable? Of course not, because even imperfect models can be useful. What exactly are we to be left with, if we must reject abstraction? We cannot reject it, we are it.

It is likely true, however, that for many people the rest of the world exists primarily in the form of a set of packaged narratives or curated experiences presented on an electronic screen or a device. There is also possibly a discussion worth having on the ever-shifting definitions of "war" and "terrorism" and just and unjust conflict in the modern age, because to an extent, the arbiters of these definitions exist as ghosts in the machine.

Unfortunately, I had to wade through the cesspool of comments in the linked article and the Wikipedia page on Jean Beaudrillard to even get a superficial idea of what it was even talking about. The degree of contempt this article appears to have for the lay reader only makes it likely most of the discussion around it is going to be complaints about how difficult it is to understand.
swax is probably referring to the compiler option "noImplicitAny", which can literally turn variables whose type is not explicitly specified and cannot be inferred from their declaration as errors, instead of assuming they have the transparent `any` type.
Trade off between (physical space = delivery cost, ping) and bandwidth. A suit case can easily fit 20 1TB drives. A 20 hour journey from Sydney to London, would mean a transfer rate of 1TB per hour, or 2000+ megabits per second, or 300x faster than the internet in my own home. Even carrying only 1 terabyte over 20 hours is a decent 111 megabits/second.
Better just be thankless masses then, nevermind.

I used FreshBooks.com when I freelanced a few years ago and I think it contained all the features you want and it was pretty inexpensive (~10 USD per month) and invoices/receipts looked very professional and allows setting different currencies for each client (eg. if you work remotely for different international clients).
This is in an incredibly frustrating conversation. You keep responding to statements I didn't make.

I know how copyright law works. I know how the DMCA works. I know what legal obligations all involved parties do and do not have. I am not an ignorant child. For us to have an adult conversation you'll have to give me some benefit of the doubt.

Now. To say it again. I did not claim that Udemy had a legal obligation to flag or identify copyright infringing content. What I did say is that their 125 DMCA figure is meaningless bullshit. It's bullshitness is orthogonal to their responsibility (or lack thereof).

Moving on. I, again, did not say that Facebook had a legal obligation. I said that, in my opinion, they had a moral obligation. Freebooting is a major problem. I provided a video you can watch to learn more about it.

Next. I never said anything that implied I was surprised over a mere hundred notices. I have no idea how you inferred surprise. I said that number is significantly lower than the actual number of copyright infringing videos on their site. Which is a statement to be taken at face value. The number of notices other companies, such as Google, receive is not relevant.

Regenerative braking on trains seems like low-hanging fruit these days. Ah, yes, just did a bit of Googling and apparently it is standard equipment on most new trains:

Older, especially freight, trains where all power comes from locomotives still tend to lack regenerative braking though.
"40% of the screen is ok because EVERYBODY should be using dual or triple 4k+ monitor setups nowadays. Anybody who doesn't have 4k+ monitors doesn't deserve the awesomeness in our shiny new IDE." - Possibly what the Eclipse devs are thinking.

I imagine the same way I would do it, by having them try it out, fail, then explain where they went wrong. Do it for them, then undo it and have them try again.
To understand these results you may need to know that dopamine is not the "reward" signal it was once characterised as. Instead it is closer to a "motivation" signal. Without it you do nothing, with lots of it you are highly motivated to just about anything.

When did PHP get demoted from language to framework?
I joined Facebook back in 2005 or 2006 I think. Was in the first million people. I remember thinking in 2006 what I will record for YouTube. But that was too much hassle. In 2008 the F8 conference the Platform was launched and I was hooked. Then in 2008 the iPhone came out and the newly formed Andreessen Horowitz offered money to anyone with an app. Remember those days?
I think this is unfortunately why people get a bad idea about an IDE.

I don't want a tab or button for everything. I want to primarily write text (i.e. code) but I also want it to be intelligent about what I'm writing - i.e. I want the autocomplete, the parameter hinting, the type checking (i.e. can't use the result of a void method, or can't do string ops on an array etc). I also want the option to have refactor helpers (moving methods, renaming methods, changing argument order, etc).

I've found IDEA (and before that PhpStorm, but it supports less plugins) are generally able to meet that need but you have to be careful about which plugins you install. I want Lua support, that doesn't mean I want a Lua console button in all projects.

Why Consider Webtesting.io for Automated Testing?
Can somebody explain to me how this shield regulates voltage? I don't understand how it works.
I was optimistic that this was going to be a good alternative to my current VNC + IntelliJ setup, but I started playing with it with a bunch of real code, and I hate to be a buzz kill...

(1) the folders break all the time. And refreshing the folder list doesn't fix it. The hierarchy gets broken, and I regretfully can't screenshot it.

(2) where is the junit runner? One of the reasons I think IDEs are pretty great is that I can run single junits, and I don't see this working in any capacity.

(3) Why do I see menus for svn / git? What about hg? I prefer to use command line for source control, can I hide these?

(4) Is the timeout for the build configurable? I have a build that takes several minutes due to a large number of tests, and it is unable to build due to a timeout

(5) the auto complete seems very broken; maybe it is my project (using maven). It appears to import the dependencies just fine, but beyond that it produces a lot of errors.

(6) I thought this would have the eclipse refactor support, but I do not see it.

Chilling Effects Announces New Name and International Partnerships
A little of each, and technically neither.

Parrot isn't wholly abandoned, but Reini Urban is the only person still hacking on it. On the other hand, he is the person most likely to bring Parrot back around to being a good backend for Perl 6, so it has that going for it.

Currently no implementation of Perl 6 targets Parrot. Rakudo used to (indeed, was born on Parrot), but suspended support for Parrot in connection with the push to get Rakudo-on-MoarVM up to 6.0.0 quality by Christmas. The Rakudo team were careful not to say they were writing Parrot off, but they also gave no particular criteria for when they would unsuspend it.

(I in no way speak for Rakudo or anyone else, but I suspect the implicit criteria for unsuspension are three: Parrot must demonstrate, in code, that being a good backend for Perl 6 is a higher priority than being a good backend for entirely hypothetical other clients; it must undertake, survive, and complete a major decrufting if not re-architecting; and of course, it must be more interesting, for enough people, to target Parrot than to hack Perl 6 on Moar, JVM, JS, Mono, the perl5 VM, p2, WebAssembly, native code, the Factor VM, or whatever else.)

There are also those who view MoarVM as the new Parrot -- Parrot as it would have been if its implementation hadn't started until it was clear what Perl 6 would really need under it. (Aaaaaand without the technical or political fallout of "let's make a VM for ALL the dynamic languages!")

When debt is created, wealth is being transferred from the residents to the government. If the government fails to use the debt created to stimulate the economy in the long term, the impact will trickle down and the residents will find themselves poorer and not being able to be competitive enough for the outside world to demand their goods.
Yes, these days, GC might easily be the biggest problem to the point that focusing on anything else would be a waste of time and premature optimization.

GC pauses can be anywhere between 300ms to 30 seconds or more when it starts becoming an issue.

Well, I made my comment based largely on information that I verified a few minutes before I wrote the comment. I'm unaware of the site's history.
That site is incredibly helpful. Thank you very much :)

Usually I try not to leave dupe comments, but in this case the story is off the front page and you might not see it otherwise:

I've been trying to find an emacs user to ask some (admittedly beginner-level) questions. I'm trying to get a certain obscure emacs plugin set up, but I occasionally run into some elisp problems that take a few hours to track down. So I was hoping to find someone to bug with questions.

I'll figure it out one way or another, but a peer would be nice. I was wondering if it would be ok to email you?

No worries either way. Have a great week!
