We run a good-sized app API using Typescript with Node.js. Our developers use Linux or Windows. The only real trouble we have with windows are some rare native add-ons like memwatch.

We keep our dependencies up-to-date by occasionally running "npm outdated", checking the packages for their Changelog.md (or equivalent) and then enjoying the new stuff.

From my perspective you were just unlucky with your packages, or you might be doing something else wrong.
Nah, it's actually pretty easy. The 535 people just need to assign general priorities, like spend a third our country's money on health care and education, a third of it on infrastructure, a little bit on funding pure research, and whatever's left over, the military can have.

They're not in charge of deciding how each individual dollar is spent, and they shouldn't be.
Matlab scripts have a cell-mode, where you can execute modules of code. Cells are delimited by %%, and you can run a cell by pressing ctrl-enter, run and progress, etc.

In my experience (15 years), Matlab has been the best for exploratory data analysis. If you change a script, you don't need to worry about re-importing issues like in python; you can even change code DURING a debugging session, EVEN with GUIs. I have been using python+numpy+pandas for a few years now, and python just feels like there is an impedance there that I don't get from Matlab, primarily with graphics/matplotlib. But, deploying and sharing python is easier. I admit it could just be my experience with Matlab that biases me. I usually find that people bitching about Matlab don't like the language, and that is usually because they are viewing Matlab AS the language (like python), and not as a data exploration and analysis environment.

Malinvestment in incorrect production is part of the process. The person who produces unwanted goods and services must gain the feedback that they have, so they can switch production to what is desired. This is a very important reason why crony capitalism, protectionism and secession regulation hurts everyone.

I have never stated that 'if you build it they will come', because that is patently false. This is a common straw man erected by the true 'aggregate demand is all' believer (I don't know if this is your position or not). If you build it, they will come is as absurd as 'if we just gave everyone a bit more money, the economy would grow'.

> because object pools are better than GC's

Object pools and GCs do different things, and you can have object pools in both GCed environments as in manually-managed ones, and they'd work equally the same. But note that you need a very, very good (and far from trivial) object pool to beat a good GC in multithreaded environments.

> I was just pointing out that most GC's that are general purpose have 2-3 ms pauses for collection which is a no-go for soft-realtime systems.

Well, most free ones. If you're writing a soft-realtime system with stricter latency requirements you'll either work harder to avoid the GC or pay for a low-latency one.
The parent post is a bit over the top, but you miss the point too - it's insulting to expect minorities to listen to the stories of predominating white males succeeding despite rejection and ignore the injustices in society that can contribute. If it's hard for everyone, let's have more stories from those who 'look like' everyone. Claiming that 'most of the people who are rejected are white' as a reason to not need more minority stories ignores the relative chances - are similarly qualified white and minority developers hired at the same rate?

This is similar to the model minority myth - "Asians work hard and are successful, so why aren't you?" Well, let's see some stories - and not just the token Latino dude.
The 500 smartest people? They simply delegate and entrust a small committee of the five most qualified people with the resources they need to get the job done.
Universities are already pre-professional for the vast majority of students. I think the idea of a university being a place of exploration and self-discovery is a lofty ideal of a bygone era for all but children of the upper middle class and wealthy. College used to be more optional; today it's practically a prerequisite for a middle class lifestyle.

Yes. NEF and DNG are supported. Other RAW formats may work or might easily work but I haven't looked into them yet.

What others have done with RAW and JPEG counterparts is to keep them together in the same directory with the same file name. This way they are organized in tandem. If you add EXIF using Elodie then just include both the RAW and the JPEG so they stay consistent.

MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI and 3GP video files are also supported.

Or it requires conceding that Windows isn't an appropriate platform for developing unix-focused technologies and running something like Docker or Vagrant to better mimic the environment where the code will eventually be deployed.

Most of the developers where I am are running OS X, which is significantly more similar to our Linux production environments than is Windows and yet we determined that it was just easier to always run our node applications on Linux guest VMs. On Windows, I wouldn't even have the gall to try to make it work without this kind of setup.
I'm probably the rare developer who prefers the UI and feel of Windows to OSX.. though I am probably a prototypical use case to switch to Mint, but haven't got around to it.

Nope. Not even a deeply cynical misreading of the bill gets you there. Here's Techdirt's current claims:

While the reports yesterday indicated that the bill would directly allow its use in "surveillance," the list of approved uses was changed slightly to effectively hide this fact. Specifically it says that the information via CISA can be used to investigate a variety of crimes -- and doesn't say "surveillance." But, obviously, surveillance isn't a "crime" that the government will be investigating. It's just the method that the government will use to investigate crimes... which is now allowed under CISA.

Every version of CISA has included this language, and the "variety of crimes" hasn't changed and remains microscopic. The list of approved uses wasn't "changed slightly to effectively hide this fact"; in fact, the only change in the approved list of uses is the removal of an approved use.

Also, yesterday we noted that the proposed change would "remove" the privacy scrub requirements. The final bill didn't completely do that, but basically changed the standard to pretend that it's in there. Rather than demanding a full privacy scrub, the bill lets the Attorney General determine if DHS is doing a reasonable job with its privacy scrub.

"Privacy scrub" is language that Techdirt is using, but the bill never has. The CISA requirements to remove personally identifying information --- which have always applied to private entities --- is unchanged.
There are a vast number of situations where the individual decisions about how to spend money/take action may be the best for the individual, but bad for the society overall. For each and every one of those, it's better for society to act as a unit to make the optimal decision.

While Orthanc came up in a toolchain review at my place of work (medical imagery R&D company), at the time it wasn't considered suitable because of it's in-development status.

>But for apps like Slack, Visual Studio Code, Atom, etc, it works pretty good.

I won't get into a long rant, but aside from on OSX, Slack and Atom are slow, resource hogging and unstable piles of crap. Atom couples that with bad architecture and engineering choice, but that's not Electron's fault.

(Also, your comparison with English is bad. English naturally evolved to the state it is in today. Javascript was designed from scratch, and it still manages to be awful. Also, sorry, Javascript isn't the most common language, thankfully.)
At the ethernet layer sure, but have fun trying to run spanning tree on a mixed Cisco/Juniper/Brocade network.

The Federal Government's expenditures needs to be a lot lower than it is across the board. It needs a serious dose of efficiency. The borrowing alone impacts all business and individuals simply because it removes money from individuals directly and indirectly which slows the economy, puts pressure on future governments to raise taxes furthering the loss of spending by individuals, and lastly leads to uncertainty in the future.

The truly sad part is they could balance the budget and operate with a surplus by doing two simple things, getting rid of baseline budgeting and keeping spending increases under inflation. Some projections put doing those two items as righting the budget in less than 10 years

Look up the term dead weight losses to get an idea of how bad government spending is for the economy versus private spending.

The USD is about as free market as a currency can be reasonably obtain. The Fed allows the market to drive the money supply through lending. Institutional banks can effectively create an unlimited supply of money on demand through lending; they just ask the Fed for money and pay the discount rate.

So it's largely the market that drives short and medium term inflation through borrowing. The Fed uses treasury bonds to balance the money supply.

It's not a perfect system, but it's the best system we know of.
Thanks. I'll check out the Amiga ones. Pretty interesting machine, and I'd read earlier, very advanced for its time. IIRC, one of the designers of either the hardware or OS of the Amiga, also later designed the REBOL language - Carl Sassenrath.

This is super naive. For much of the past decade, congress could have removed the entire discretionary budget (yes, including the military) and still had a deficit.

The deficit is driven by social security, medicare, and medicaid. If you want to balance the budget, you have to reform those.

Locked up for 23 years – when the real killer had already been jailed
I think someone else mentioned this in another post about this. Thought it was a great idea so I'll repeat it here:

To prevent fraudsters from using you to authenticate their stolen credit cards, set it up so that every purchase automatically redirects to a 'order successful' page. After seeing that a few their credit card numbers all seem to work on your site, the fraudster will realize they can't use your site to test and move on. In the back-end, turn on manual approval of each purchase and let through the ones you deem legitimate.

Should a legitimate customer mistype their credit card info, send them a follow up email with a link to the order page briefly explaining to them the situation and asking them to enter their details again.

(If there's some issue with this method I haven't thought of, let me know.)

In terms of stimulating aggregate demand, transfers to people who will spend the money are more effective than transfers to people who spend less (i.e. save more). In practice that means food stamps, unemployment benefits, etc. are more effective than tax cuts directed at high earners.

No, the institutions who allocate money to VC typically do so as part of a long (> 30 year) horizon plan based upon portfolio theory. There are no institutional investors for whom a 25 bp change in a short term interest rate will materially alter their allocation to VC (typically a tiny sub-portion of a minor portion allocated to "private equity," the lion's share of which goes to later-stage buyout).

Private equity and, in particular, venture capital, are part of that allocation precisely because their outcomes are relatively uncorrelated to, say, public stocks and bonds -- which are very correlated to interest rates.
> there's going to be .25% more people who can't get the loan they want.

No. This is wrong. There isn't a 1-1 correlation between interest rates and the % of people who get the loan they want. That's nuts.
