I started using a preprocessor because I wanted to be able to maintain and compose multiple stylesheets in a complex app with lots of subcomponents with some distinct styling. Once you do that, you've introduced a compiler in your workflow and it may as well be a preprocessor.
No clue about his wifi argument but AR could become very useful for wifi heatmapping allowing you to see where reception is particularly good or bad and let you place the access points accordingly.
For other readers: HUMINT = human intelligence, human observers embedded somewhere. ELINT = electronic intelligence, e.g. radar systems. COMINT = communications intelligence, spying on human communication systems. SIGINT = signals intelligence, including both ELINT and COMINT. INFOSEC = information security, defending information from outside attackers.

It seems to me that post-WWII, the US diplomatic apparatus and military (also including USAID, etc.) have also been pretty crap at human intelligence, at least judging from the outcomes of the policies they end up pursuing. I’m having trouble thinking up examples where the US intervened anywhere with good timing or good sense, whereas it’s easy to list dozens of terrible failures.

Edit, this —

“Mr. Laux said he was struck by how little the military seemed to know about Afghanistan after so many years in the country, and that many C.I.A. officers had developed little more insight. Soldiers and spies served short tours of duty — with much of that time spent just becoming familiar with their surroundings — and then turned their jobs over to new arrivals forced to make the same mistakes as their predecessors.”

— sounds pretty similar to the normal practice in anthropology and other social sciences in academia, too. Scholars have a couple years during grad school and occasional 1-year sabbaticals to do field work, but spend the rest of their careers teaching and writing papers based on their out-of-date and usually misinformed remembrances.

Also similar for a large proportion of journalists, who have only been in some particular place for a limited time before they’re expected to explain its intricacies in a few hundred words at a time.

As I read it, a vast majority of university athletic program are unprofitable. Many of them force their students to pay a special fee to fund their athletic programs. The following is probably not the best article but a start...

I paid attention in a US high school, I'll take a crack at this list.

History, yes. Algebra and basic proofs yes. Basic physics were covered, but no calculations were ever done with relativity, and no quantum mechanics.

Chemistry covered the elements, molecular structure, and several dozen compounds. The Krebs cycle was roughly covered in biology class, but most organic chemistry went unexplored.

Language classes were enough to half-learn one beyond English, and not to fluency.

PE yes. Art history no.

The mechanism of government was very well studied, but politics were largely ignored. The economy was not a subject of study except for a bit about the Great Depression. Accounting was barely mentioned, and definitely not taxes or incorporation.

Teamwork? It was practiced, at least. Research and debate? Yes, pretty well.
Well having managed 1000+ clients a few jobs ago, I can tell you the majority of companies these days use Git. With the proper hooks and gitflow I never found I had to tell users much once the workflow was understood.

At my last job we had about 40 devs in India spread out in different cities. We re-wrote much of Android and our Git repos were massive. This meant devs needed a local repo and couldn't be expected to work with a remote other than commits. Only once with all these random developers did history become a mess and we had to rebase and clean things up. I think a lot of people fail to understand how to implement Git properly and are making it overly complicated for daily use.

> Facebook is building the first virtual world. Think about that.

No, Facebook is a glorified chatroom with constant surveillance and ads. The only thing unique it did was to aggregate enough gravity to become the first stop for digital peasants of all ages. Facebook is not building anything virtual first here.
Can you elaborate why? I saw most of the video on their website; it looked pretty similar to tmux (with different shortcut keys). Does it have any extra features? Perhaps out-of-the-box session saving even after rebooting?
Your assertion that NYC is not building up is quite wrong. Just because every brownstone isn't being converted into a skyscraper doesn't mean there isn't a ton of new housing coming into the market.

There is no rigorous definition of functional programming. But SSA is trying to achieve similar goals. Google the paper "SSA is functional programming" by Andrew Appel if you want to know more.

To me it's a broken window thing. Go's main mission is to make life easier for me as a developer, and compile times are a big factor in that. If we stopped being obsessed about it, we'd eventually end up with compile times reminiscent of C++.
Tmux recently merged a PR adding 24-bit colour, I'm a lot happier with the colours now. I think it will be in the next release if it's not out already.

While this particular article was about SRS for learning programming (note: very interesting - may experiment applying this to teaching kids/young adults coding - possibly with a "limited, variable sugar reward system"), SRS can be applied to language learning, In fact, in language learning, it can be a fancy way of avoiding saying 'rote memorization'. The hard part for most people of language learning is 'rote memorization' (e.g. knowing conjugations cold, without thinking).

For those of you who are interested in language learning, I'd like to redirect you to tokenadult's very long and comprehensive post from 2.6 years ago.

"Learning foreign languages to high levels of communication proficiency was the first adult learning challenge I took on. I majored in Chinese at university and worked for quite a few years as a Chinese-English interpreter and translator..."

Brief aside on non-Anki SRS. Memrise is a SRS for language learning that I gave up on because it took 3-4x longer to demonstrate that I 'knew' a word because of the variations on testing (cloze, completion, multiple choice (guess). Also, no fault of Memrise - but the problem of SRS is that a) the decks cannot be reversed - e.g. French to English cannot easily be made English to French and b) eventually you just start spitting out entire phrases rather than individual words. Context is everything. Language can be subtle. We may forget the subtleties in our native language(s).

As someone new to the joys of golang, it is hard to imagine faster compile time or smaller binaries. It just keeps getting better.
At the very top of the Go web site it used to prominently say "a systems programming language" [1].

I can only recommend tools like tmuxinator [1]. They make it really easy to start your development environment. Especially when you deal with multiple services that need to be started along with certain tasks (mostly watch tasks like build and test in my case).

I don't think there's a different level of 'good enough' required here - it's just that we're so early in the development of AR UI that we don't yet know what good enough will look like. The iPhone was the first touch interface that was low enough latency to feel like you were touching and sliding the images around behind the screen. Making those scroll and pinch-to-zoom interactions feel right was critical to its success. Certainly right now these Hololens interactions are not as slick and gratifying as flick-scrolling was in the original mobile Safari. And Apple and other manufacturers have now spent years optimizing screens to make the image seem closer to the surface of the glass and playing with varying success with haptics and pressure sensing and so on.
HUMINT after WWII apparently relied on existing spy networks - mostly Germans who were out of a job. They fed their masters anything that sounded good, to keep being paid. Result: they spun up the East and West continually, creating a thing called the "Cold War".
I can't understand why DC and Colma remain so cheap (comparably). Sure, the area doesn't have as much walking distance locales but a quick Bart ride will get you anywhere you want to go. Are people really that sensitive to small inconvenience?
It's not the age of distraction, it's the age of extreme information accumulation.

The consequence of the lack of attentionspan is greatly exaggerated.

Our scientists aren't getting less able to do science, our writers and musicians aren't getting less able to write or perform. Our mathematicians aren't getting less able to solve mathematical problems.

In aggregate humans through the use of technology is charging on becoming ever more sophisticated. A society without technology would not be able to have accumulated the knowledge we have today. People without ability are being helped by technology.

With the worlds collective information doubling in something that resembles Moores Law for most people it would simply be unwise to focus too much.

What I think we need to realize is that we don't need everyone to be expert specialists. We need a mix of experts specialists and specialist generalists.

To a large degree, the competent US high schools do that sorting within the school.

In my 4-year public high school there were at least 10 different math courses. The lowest students would still be taking some remedial arithmetic and such, normal students would take algebra, and I was taking discrete (first year).

This applies for pretty much all study areas, with AP/advanced options available for the best students and remedial courses for the worst. There's also a large degree of flexibility in choosing your schedule, so students who aren't planning to go to university could choose mostly shop classes and have half days for their final year or two of high school.

The end result was that I wasn't in a single class with the remedial bullies from elementary school (where unfortunately there is substantially less segregation, with the only solution being to move up a grade).

A lot of school districts don't have buses except for special needs students. That puts the onus on parents to provide transportation until the students are old enough to drive.
Valuations are based on future value. So todays valuation reflects the actual value of the company in the future, not the company now.
I think it's more being in bed with greedy sociopaths that made him start this war of aggression, greatest of all crimes. Also, freedom can never be given, only taken away.
These issues of bloat do not even yet include ads.
Not the case in my school district. Our elementary schools get out before the high schools, and both middle and HS end at the same time.
Perhaps it's a sign that they see the battle as already won. The widespread acceptance of Facebook et al in spite of all the bad publicity about tracking is taken as tacit approval of the surveillance economy.
I personally at least cannot care much about CryEngine as long as its DX only. What is interesting about UE4 is how it is effectively a universal engine for all platforms, including the web.

Post 1.4 it went from "don't even think about it" to "mild annoyance".

Obviously nowhere near the pain of say C++, certainly something that was missed and will be nice to get back!
The school system here buses every student (they switched over due to it becoming prudent to close buildings).
The only thing preventing me from using Go on Windows is lack of production quality cgo on Windows x86 and x64.

For example, using external linking should "just work" with recent versions of sqlite3 but it fails on Windows.
Partially true, but that's not the whole story. Speaking as a non-American, I'd attribute another chunk of it to the fact that most USAns don't travel outside their own continent (where they've got Canada and Mexico and the Carribean islands with which to engage with "the rest of the world" if so inclined). With the partial exceptions of Mexico (the war on drugs) and Cuba (the war on Fidel Castro's beard), there's not much call for spying in those countries; the pool of US citizens with some degree of acculturation to truly foreign societies is comparatively small compared to those folks who live in places where you can drive 100 miles and cross two borders and three language barriers.
AI is more like gardening than it is like engineering:

1. You have to wait long for your results to come out.

2. You have little clue about what you are doing, but if you just do what everybody else is doing, then you'll probably be ok.

3. You never get the results you really wanted.

4. When something goes wrong, you can't explain it.
A browser that accepts payments that only a tiny fraction of users know how to use or trust (bitcoin)...for a very technical subset of the market (demographic), for which this problem doesn't really exist. Outlook not great.
I don't know how you can make such a ridiculous assertion.

The vast majority of students at my public high school definitely graduated with most of those skills. I didn't go to a particularly special high school, just a normal public school in Vermont.
I'm a designer. There is no "blue". There's the blue in the logo. And then there's the blue saturated a bit more when it's on a gray border. And there's the blue brightened a bit when it's on white. If repeating yourself over and over in CSS makes sense by all means stick to your guns. This practice is verboten in all other aspects of tech engineering and it's only the truly idiotic nature of CSS that has people thinking like this to begin with.
From your point of view.

While doing so they oppress other people, like the communist did in the Spanish civil war.

4. The Git component is buggy.

5. Extensions no longer function.

6. Even if one attempts to rollback, VS no longer works.
You may have hit the difference between what a terminal is capable of, versus what it's actually capable of. Most modern terminals can do all kinds of fancy things like mouse-support and 256-colour output, but they advertise themselves as 1990s-era 8-colour devices for compatibility reasons. Specifically, they set $TERM to "xterm" or similar.

tmux is two kinds of terminal application: it interacts with your outer, "real" terminal, and it presents an inner, "fake" terminal to the programs running inside it. By default, tmux will respect the limitations implied by $TERM, so if your outer terminal claims to be an 8-colour device, tmux will filter the colours of applications inside it to fit the standard 8-colour palette.

Vim also respects the limitations implied by $TERM, but some people override it into using 256-colour mode anyway, by doing something like "set t_Co=256" in their .vimrc. That works for Vim running in the outer terminal, but it doesn't work for any other tools running in the outer terminal, and in particular it doesn't help tmux.

These days, it's generally best to configure your terminal app to set $TERM to something like "xterm-256color", "nsterm-256color" (for Terminal.app), "putty-256color" (for PuTTY), "gnome-256color" (for libvte-based emulators) or similar. If your terminal application doesn't support manually overriding $TERM, you can do it in your shell profile. That way, every app should understand your terminal's capabilities, including 256-colour support, both inside and outside of tmux.
I find fetch very painful to use since the promises don't reject on non-2XX! I use axios instead. This is especially so sad when using async/await :( https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/18

if (res.statusCode < 200 || res.statusCode > 299) {

}
});
I agree, it's just sad to see several areas of the market move towards centralized closed source solutions. It's as though a new generation of developers don't even know what open source is, including the dangers these "easier" solutions bring to the table and how they shape the future.
Can anyone familiar with battery internals explain what are some of the likely causes that make such mass-produced consumer product go dangerous? Are they intrinsic to the working principle of the cells?

I'm currently a sophomore at Harriton High School in PA. Here's what my day looks like. Ideally wake up around 6:20, sometimes I oversleep to 6:40-6:50. Wake up, shower, breakfast if there's time (when I wake up too late, I'll grab some Clif bars on the way out). Run to bus stop, bus comes at 7:02. School starts at 7:30. 6 classes a day, an hour each. Lunch starts around 10:45. School ends at 2:40, sports start at 3:00. Sports normally go until 5:30, occasionally 4:30. I go to bed around 11:30-12.
"What _every browser_ ..."

How about text-only browsers?

How about homemade "browsers" that are powered by netcat?

As one informal poll appeared to show, many users questioned on the streets of an American city did not even know what a "browser" was.

Most times I only want to retrieve files (download) via some daemon running on some remote computer and then view them on my computer. That includes text, hypertext, or binary. Pretty much the same as in 1993.

I rarely use a graphical browser to do this. It is not needed.

Instead, today, unlike 1993, I am using a graphical "browser" to _play video_ after I download it (no internet connection). But playing a video file is not "browsing". Something is not right.

Seems like the www took a wrong turn.

Deep(ish) Thoughts
It may be worth noting that minor versions are not strictly compatible but generally require some dev work.
I'm not sure it's meta at all. All I'm doing here is sneering at the smug self-congratulatory tone a percentage of the developer community takes in response to accusations that software is eating the world.

As an example, there was a discussion a little while back about self-driving cars and the implications for the OTR trucking industry, a change that is likely to spell the end of OTR driving as a career path. With exceptions, the general response was "Oh well, sucks to be those guys. They should learn to code.". This kind of entitled response is typical whenever loss of jobs due to automation is discussed. Usually followed up with assertions that this merely frees up labor to pursue other opportunities in the broader economy, ignoring the fact that all too often these "new opportunities" are a McJob of some kind.
How many games were released on CryEngine? How many on UE 3/4? How many devs are there from the UE 3 days when a lot of AAA titles were some in-house UE 3 variants. I love Crytek products, but I don't see any problems with the upvote distribution. Don't forget that every minor release of UE 4 contains an enormous list of new features and bug fixes which is impressive in its own way considering the release cycle is 3-4 months.
What's wrong with this? Right now universities produce far more Phds than tenure track positions. If the free market is providing jobs for many of them, all the better.
