You equate art with originality, but Knuth do not, and most arts except "Contemporary Art" did not either. Just turn your eyes to Quattrocento or Chinese landscapes: these artists are not trying to invent something or be original. Listen to Bach: where is the inventions? It is just a natural flow of notes in a structuring harmonic frame. I do not imagine Bach thinking "Let's do something unheard" when writing his partitions.

I cant speak to these videos, but most flexbox tutorials are quite long. The number of videos may be a sign of completeness.

The core of flexbox, and the most powerful and commonly used parts, isn't that much material, and isn't very hard to learn. But there's a long tail of corner cases and tricks and special situations.

There's one other reason too: flexbox is at it's most powerful and most simple, IMO, when you put flexboxes inside other flexboxes. But that inherently mixes markup and styling. Some of flexbox' features are designed to help you avoid mixing markup and styling, but that adds to the complexity.

CSS is somewhere between inherently complicated and a broken mess. That's not the most charitable way to put it, but not entirely inaccurate either.
It's called having paper maps for the states and cities you are in... I grew up in the forest where no cellphone works and GPS topo data was sparse, but the local forest service topo maps were second to none.

Some people need gps directions to go to the corner store, some people just need a paper map to traverse the world. I'd rather be the latter and use the former when needed/wanted than the former with the inability to to the latter.

As for the article, I generally agree with the author, as I have done the same thing (ditched a cell phone for about a year and a half). It was wonderful, but my current job description requires me to be on call, so I have made a temporary compromise, but I fully intend to return to no cell phone eventually.

One thing in particular I learned from my time without one is that I was much more observant and interactive with my surroundings. I would have conversations or see things I would have never if my eyes were glued to a screen. It also strengthened my conversation skills as a result.

By mainstream do you mean the 1% desktop share or in the GNU/Linux world?

Actually it was this PDP-11 mentality one of the reasons I eventually moved back into Windows / Mac OS X worlds.

I had my share of CLI starting with Timex 2068, AmigaDOS, MS-DOS, multiple UNIX flavours in the 80 - 90's, to keep doing it daily in the 21st century.

Even if you know Flexbox you cannot use Flexbox because support lacks.

The TL;DR: Everyone is doing well except IE which is horribly broken. Only Microsoft's Edge browser has good Flexbox support, but nobody uses Edge, so therefore Flexbox is still no-go.

Come back in five years when IE 11 is a distant memory and Edge is popular.

Having just been back in the scene this past week, this is disturbingly accurate. I'm 41.

I'm surprised by the number of women that are still on the site from the last time I went through this 5 years ago.

I have a large profile, with a ton of hooks for conversation, and yet the number of girls I talk to on there either don't want to or can't be bothered to ask a question. And unfortunately, the one that does, I have no attraction to.

Being 41 is also problematic. There is a change that happens to a lot of the women around this time. They seem to shift from something that is attractive, to suddenly looking like a mom. The haircut, the face, the body. For the life of me, I can't seem to make myself attracted to this Mom look. Which means looking for partners much younger.

It's also been strange, you'll message a girl, and ask a question. She'll respond with the answer, and that's it. Trying to keep that going ends up trying to share something about myself, and then ask another question. They answer the question again, and provide nothing to carry on the conversation. I get the feeling that these women want to be wooed, but that happens after we meet. At this stage, you're trying to find compatibility. You could be a dog, you could be a gay man who poses as a woman because he likes the compliments (read it on Reddit), a bot, etc... Interaction is the key.

Ah well, back I go.

The answer to every single one of your questions is, because they want to. I can't imagine being without my cell phone, but I do wash my dishes by hand every day. My dishwasher is a glorified drying rack. Why? Because I want to. I want to know my dishes are clean, and I don't trust the dishwasher to do it. And as long as I'm cool with spending my time that way... Why not?
You do not need to give users the right to republish your application on the AppStore, but you need to give users the right to deploy your app with the modified version of the LGPL code on their own devices. The Appstore agreement prohibits this, which means it adds an conflicting legal condition to the users.

The Appstore agreement also restricts the use of reverse engineering, a condition which is incompatible with LGPLv2, section 6. Section 2.6 in the "iPhone Developer Program License Agreement" prohibits reverse engineering, including anything that would "enable others" to reverse engineer.

His solution, if you believe it was one, was far from simple though.

It wasn't just a momentary decision to ignore Hinduism that let to his enlightenment, but a deliberate practice of self examination.

Buddhism is actually a kind of psychology, a study of the mind, and the historical Buddha studied his mind methodically for years using introspective techniques (meditation) that he adapted from Hinduism.

But it's also more than that. Just like you can't learn a difficult skill like hitting a baseball by looking at pictures of others doing it, or by thinking about it or by being told how it feels to do so, you can't realize enlightenment without striving for it.

So buddhism is a set of teachings about the nature of your mind, combined with practices to help you fully realize (come to know) the truth of these teachings in your own mind and body.

> The protective effects of an active cognitive lifestyle arise through multiple biological pathways, new research suggests. For some time researchers have been aware of a link between what we do with our brains and the long term risk for dementia. In general, those who are more mentally active or maintain an active cognitive lifestyle throughout their lives are at lower risk. New research throws some light on what may be happening at the biological level.

I heard research into the 3 person cake division is held back by years due to all the researchers getting diabetes and dying young.

True story.
The first decade was non-free with later various shades of semi-free. Around the turn of the century it was apparent Gnome was going to dominate the market unless they acted quickly, so they GPLed at that time to maintain relevance. They're still around; guess that strategy worked.

Having lived thru it, the situation was much worse than you imply. Its not that the non-free licenses didn't allow closed source or whatever, they more or less intentionally carefully prevented distros from legally including Qt. Just barely tight enough that on technicalities it failed the DFSG, intentionally. Debian couldn't include Qt and therefore KDE in main until the 2000 relicense.
> Ultimately, diminishing returns with respect to human labor–what some of us would call falling inflation-adjusted wages of non-elite workers–tends to bring economies down.

The article doesn't show at all that there are diminishing returns from human labor. What we have, instead, is that even if technology is making labor ever more productive, these gains in productivity are going more and more towards companies and investors (mostly thanks to the competition from Chinese laborers) instead of (western) non-elite workers. Just look at the big fat profits of most big companies.

The article is thought provoking, but as it usually happens when trying to find a simple explanation to complex phenomena, it doesn't stand to deeper scrutiny.
My experience with ZFS on my home NAS: started with 6 2TB greens, 1 boot, 5 raidz1, got 5 3TB greens in another raidz1. One of each failed, replaced. Recently got 6 8TB SMR drives in a raidz2.

So that you can brag about it, of course.

Q: How do you know when someone doesn't have a cell phone?

A: They'll tell you.
Thanks for looking this up. I did some research many years ago when I was in an unpleasant on-call situation (unreliable third-party dependency) and negotiated pay for it as a result. I recall seeing a $3500 daily rate figure at the time for a cardio surgeon, but that may have been an outlier.

While the numbers may be off, one point I didn't make in my initial post but should have is that anybody doing on-call is providing a valuable service. It's no different than paying a babysitter to watch TV while your kids sleep. Both babysitters and devops/IT/whatever are compensated for their ability to act in case the unexpected happens. If someone's not getting paid for that, then it must not be valuable to the company to have that coverage.

My take on it is - count on online to "increase how many people you meet" rather than "increase the quality of people you meet." Use the numbers, meet lots of people. Like Jim Collins might recommend to business, "hire slowly, fire quickly" though in this case, maybe "date quickly, leave quickly" until you find someone that seems compatible in person.

What made it easier for me was jettisoning the notion that names must be short.

1. Names must be descriptive.

2. Names must be unambiguous.

3. Names should be no longer than they need to be to achieve #1 and #2

I just ask myself: what is this thing, or what is it doing?

Then take the answer to that question, and boil it down to a name.

Then look at each word in that name and try to think of different interpretations of that word. If I find some ambiguity, then change something until the ambiguity is replaced with clarity. "Change something" could be changing that one word, or a word next to it, or it could be changing the whole thing. Yes sometimes this is hard, but often it's easy.

Also for #1, the context can help a little, so in a tight scope where there's plenty of context indicating what a variable might be for, the name can be less descriptive. By contrast, for publicly exposed names, they could be used far away from their original context, so fulfilling #1 relies entirely on the name itself, with no reliance on the context.

> It was GPL (or pay license) to start with.

No, it was originally not open-source at all, and it was QPL (which was just barely open-source, and crucially GPL-incompatible) for a long time. Of course we're talking a decade ago now.
This is true, for many people playing the lottery is a means to attach a nonzero probability (no matter how small) to a fantasy.

For myself, I'm uncertain how much of a fantasy it would really be to suddenly hold ~$1B (though I obviously wouldn't hesitate to try..). But have you ever played a video game, then discover an exploit or cheat code to give you everything you want, then realize how boring and pointless it became relatively soon afterwards?

> I feel MS has really dropped the ball with VS.

This has been the case for C++ for a while now. Every version of VS has gotten worse since, IDK, 2006 or something (and that's ignoring how long it takes them to finish new versions of the language). I had a suspicion that they had moved their A team over to work on C#, but hearing this... maybe they're just getting worse.
The third seems to be shorthand for map and reduce (or only reduce).

In Ruby, you could express the same with `[2,4,6].reduce(true) {|even,num| even & num.even? }` or more clearer IMO `[2,4,6].map(&:even?).reduce(&:&)`.
I'm curious why the `thisArg` parameters were removed? I dug through some of the PRs and commmits but was unable to find any specific conversation.

Typically movie stars negotiate a tiny % of gross revenue in their contract. They used to negotiate for % of profit, but studios got very good at fiddling with the numbers for the film until a successful movie had nearly no profit.

I don't see why that can't be done for software engineers. That is essentially dividends though, and it's obvious why growth companies don't want to do that. But it's also not clear that stock options have the intended motivating effect (it's not even clear that increases in salary or some kind of profit sharing would have the intended effect either[1])

I think it's clear that stock options are sub-optimal for the intended purpose, but it's not obvious to me how to fix that.

In my experience, no other VS extension even begins to affect performance to the degree ReSharper does. JetBrains readily acknowledges the performance issues. Is there a conflict of design between VS and ReSharper? Perhaps. But that their homegrown IDE build around ReSharper will work faster than VS + ReSharper is a pretty safe bet. Apples and oranges, here.
The trick here, as my understanding of the law goes, is that (a) the company had a policy that work computers are to be used for work only, AND (b) that the account in question was being used for both personal and professional contacts.

In general, your workplace can (assuming that you have agreed to this in policy) ensure that you're using your computer for approved uses, and it can access all work-related information on the computer. You do have (limited) privacy over anything personal on the computer, but they're welcome to discipline or fire you just for its existence, and in some cases they may access it if they have reasonable belief that they have to.

This ruling clarifies that if your personal information is mixed in with professional information, the company may access it, as little as necessary (the word you'll come across lots is "proportionate"), as part of an internal investigation or similar. This has been spelled out by at least the British Government for a while now, nothing has changed.
