Serilog is great. I use it together with LibLog [1] which is a fantastic library that allows you to swap between logging libraries by abstracting all of them and automatically discovering via reflection which one is being used. I used it to go from log4net to serilog a few months ago.

>> Software projects can be estimated

Managers, for the most part, keep saying that. Usually its because they have, or they've read about someone who has estimated accurately one or more times. How do I know they were not simply lucky? We cannot accurately estimate the time it will take to construct a building, and we've been constructing buildings for thousands of years.
For something like silver/gold, the scarcity is around labor to discover/mine/refine it. If it was free to mine silver, it would not be worth any money/obligation.

You have to go one level deeper with something cloneable, but there is still scarcity.

The cost of a downloadable audio book is going to be based on maximizing the return based on its demand curve (since the supply curve is vertical).

The demand curve is going to be based on the scarcity/cost of an equivalent value audio book (if an audio book is $1000, you'll probably buy a different one from another author instead). Thus, this ties back into the scarcity of supply, which is tied to the scarcity of labor (skilled in this case) to generate that supply. There is a certain amount of labor required to become skilled (and to a lesser extent scarcity of talent), and more labor to produce an audio book. This scarcity of labor keeps audio book prices from dropping to zero.

Trump sort of has a gesture towards an answer, which is more or less: trade protectionism. The broad sketch of his argument is that free trade, or perhaps more specifically "bad trade deals", moved good blue-collar jobs overseas, and either ripping up the trade deals or renegotiating them will move the jobs back.

I personally am skeptical, but it's a pitch many people are open to. In my opinion protectionism isn't going to revive the American middle class and bring back millions of 1970s-type well-paying, unionized manufacturing jobs, because at this point it's difficult to create any kind of circumstances that will make that happen. Though I can believe a more historical version of the argument, that free-trade deals accelerated the decline of these jobs, which would've stuck around longer, rather than fleeing rapidly to Mexico and China, if we'd have had a more protectionist trade policy over the past few decades.

I can completely understand why people are willing to buy the argument though, in part because they're not being offered a particularly compelling alternative. Telling someone who used to have a good factory job and is now poor something like: "sorry buddy, these jobs are gone and not coming back, maybe go to university or sign up for welfare", isn't a big winner. But, I doubt this is what interests Thiel.
Is Japan especially lonely compared to other advanced nations?
That article is more like asking someone who has never programmed before how long it will take to do a project. If you are estimating something that you have truly never done and have no experience in, then it's going to be more difficult. But if you at least acknowledge that, you can take steps against it like lowering your own confidence level in your estimates (this feature will take 4-8 weeks, and I'm only 25% confident the actual timeline is between those). The issue is more when you are over confident, which it sounds like no one here is!

I'm not an avid hiker, but I've done enough weekend hikes to know that 10 miles per day can be pushing it for me on some terrain. I wouldn't ask someone who has never hiked ever before to estimate how long a hike would take. I wouldn't ask a programmer to estimate how long it takes to construct a bridge.

> And those tax rules tech companies take advantage of are not loopholes or tax breaks.

"The regulations, however, had significant unintended consequences and opened the door to a host of tax avoidance schemes. Under Subpart F, passive income paid from one separate legal entity to another separate legal entity – even if they were both within the same corporate structure – was immediately taxable. However, with the implementation of the check-the-box regulations a U.S. MNC could set up a CFC subsidiary in a tax haven and direct it to receive passive income such as interest, dividend, or royalty payments from a lower tiered related CFC without incurring Subpart F income. [...] On March 26, 1998, Treasury and IRS then proposed regulations to close the loophole opened by the check-the-box rule."

How to write a Clang static analyzer
Confessions of an Ex-Prosecutor
To me it looks like a simple theory made needlessly harder by bad UX design. For instance, arrows are written left to right as f: X -> Y, g: Y -> Z, and composed right to left, g . f. There a lot of unmnemonic names like epic and monic morphisms, which are dual to each other but with unrelated names. The beginner, at least if they're me, must struggle to fit all these difficulties into their head together long enough to even follow what's being claimed, before they can work with the formalism.

If category theory is as cool as it sounds (and as simple as it doesn't) then somebody could do us a neat service by working out a game like http://worrydream.com/AlligatorEggs/ did for the lambda calculus. (Added: I guess it must've already been done, as formalizations of category theory in interactive proof assistants. Any tips on what's the most accessible?)

Slightly related: I once watched a documentary about a man managing an acting agency where people hired someone to act as a daughter, parent, etc.

All that dramatic tension just melted away.

It gets you in the ballpark though, which is the best you can hope for with these types of analyses. Better to consider the indicators that were left out vs. included, than to nitpick about the individual weightings.

My Entrepreneur Not to Do List
Basic income is for subsistence living. If you want to buy nice things you'll have to work. And almost everyone wants nice things. Scarcity will still very much exist, just human survival will not require consistent employment.

Plus I'd imagine a large spike in people who write novels and other arts. Other humanities and R&D can fill the void for those not gainfully employed. Which contributes to the progress of society.
That's funny because in my experience php is one of the fastest languages.
GitLab marketer here - sorry if we inundated your team! This section of our handbook has info on emails, but it's due for an update from me: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/demand-generatio...

A typical frequency would be 2-5 emails over the first 7 days after signup, then ~2/month afterward (unless you also sign up for security updates). I'd like to make a change so that it's 2-5 emails over the first 9 days after signup. About 80% of people only qualify for newsletters and one onboarding or confirmation email in the first week after signup, whereas people at companies we suspect more interested in EE and/or support will receive 1-3 extra from our business development reps. We try to limit our more "salesy" outreach with "lead scoring", an industry standard for IDing those most likely interested in those type of emails (see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/demand-generatio... ).

The response to our emails is usually positive (sometimes even apologetic to the BDRs for slow response) as the BDR team can attest to, though we do get our fair share of unsubscribes (our reps include a one-click unsub link in their signature - highly unusual!) and the occasional two-word "f* you!" replies. Let me add that we don't ask for phone numbers from new signups and you will not be burdened with nonsense voicemails from us!

That being said, feedback like this is always a good catalyst to reevaluate and look for opportunities to adjust and improve. As stated in the first link I provided, "What [you] receive depends on how [you] came to find us and what we believe will be most helpful to [you]", so any specific feedback on how to be more helpful is greatly appreciated! -Hank Taylor

I use ABE only because it's enabled by default and it seems like a sensible thing to do. At the time I tested pi-hole, reverting to router hosts blocking seemed easier so I left it at that. Maybe I'll look at it again and see if I can selectively disable ABE for the pi-hole's IP address which should solve the issue.

The Japanese place very high value on social cohesion. Deviation from the norm - especially emotional - is not accepted or acknowledged.

I can't say whether the Japanese are especially lonely. I can say that those who are have little means to express that among themselves.

If the topic interests you, check out the Hikkikomori phenomenon, such a the book: "Shutting out the Sun: How Japan created its own lost generation."

See also the difficulty that Japanese mental health professionals have in the country. Such places are as discreet as abortion clinics are in the American south.
I am not sure what interpretations have to do with symmetry of equations.
I agree in one sense. Classic American network TV is absolutely abominable. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would get this bad. Nobody I know is watching the big American networks anymore, it just does not work at all.

On the other hand, the quality of serialized dramas being released these days is unparalleled. There are so, so many well written shows being made right now with razor sharp production. But people are mostly getting these shows by paying the production companies directly (Netflix, HBO, Amazon) or simply streaming them illegally.
I'm not going to say don't write crypto. Instead I will give more useful advice: if you do write crypto, make it boring. Really boring. Do not invent anything. Do not be creative. Use an established modern construction with modern ciphers and use them in only one way. That one way should be the way cryptographers recommend with no deviations.
I never used serilog, so maybe I'm wrong, but looking at site docs and github sources I see very weak configuration file support compared to NLog or even log4net.

"infra"? Quick google search did not illuminate me.
That's your choice, but in my experience that simply means that you don't end up able to apply the knowledge you think you have acquired by reading about a topic.

That might be fine for you, but it's an inherent limitation in reading about something, rather than actually engaging in it.

I've edited my original comment to make a comparison, and expand on why I say this.

But to take you up on this - some exercises have answers in the text. You could do just those. Other exercises don't have the answers, just like code that you write doesn't already exist. When you write the code you then have the ability to check that it does what it's supposed to do.

The idea of having exercises without answers it to foster the ability to understand when your answers are right. Most of the time it's easy to know if you got the right answers, but it's finding the answer that's the challenge. If you choose not to learn this topic, fine, that's your choice. My comment just says: don't expect to understand the material at anything other than a superficial level if all you do is read about it.

As it says in the quoted section: One does not get fit by merely looking at a treadmill.

1. This is a complete straw man, no one wants to accept the intolerant into our society. They merely want to help those who are in dire need. The majority of Muslims don't care what others do, they just want to follow their own religion in peace, and those are the kind of people they want to help.

2. This isn't a democrat thing, every political ideology has some extremists that are intolerant of everyone that doesn't support their view. The only reason for saying this is to create an us vs them dichotomy. Saying this will never ever lead to positive political discussions.

3. Is he really? I see it like this: The reason manufacturing and unskilled labor jobs are disappearing is because the free market favors things being produced in China. When given the choice of buying Chinese made for cheaper vs paying more for local goods people chose the Chinese products.

The less government involvement, the better markets work, and the truth is the markets favor cheaper products made overseas, that's why this is happening. The only way that these jobs can be brought back to America is by government force, which means more government involvement in trade and business. In a world where anyone can do unskilled labor there's no reason for companies to take more expensive American unskilled labor over anyone else, and without government intervention that's always going to be the case.

I don't see any possible way that "better trade deals" are going to both help these workers and boost the economy. You can either choose free markets, which favor capital and a persons value to society and are the best for the overall economy. Or you can choose protected markets which involve more government and help some people to the detriment of others. There's no way you can have both less government and a more equal economic system.

Trump is promising a solution he almost certainly knows he can't deliver to take advantage of the economically illiterate. This is why the so many elites in the republican party hate him. He's running as a republican on a democratic economic platform (more equality) but still saying he's going to have less government, which they know is impossible to do. Unfortunately so many republicans are brainwashed into thinking the democrats are incompetent and only want to increase government because they can. While in truth the increased size of the government is the side effect of trying to make society more equal.

The saddest thing is if Trump gets in if he goes for free markets and less government (which as he is a business man I think he will, but we'll see) he's going to devastate these people (the unskilled blue collar workers, his biggest fan base) lives even more than they currently are and that's the real tragedy of the rise of Trump.

Have you ever tried to sell something to management with a 25% confidence level with an estimate that is at least 2x (4-8 weeks). You've just basically said your estimate is anywhere from a week to half a year, which basically means you have no estimate ;)

In terms of never having done it before, this is true of most software projects. If you're building the same house from the same plans then this is the same as say installing a Wordpress blog, easy to estimate. But if you were to ask how long it would take to build Wordpress from scratch, even having a Wordpress sample app, it would be very hard. Not only that but there are a lot of assumptions. Is it for a handful of visitors or are we talking a million visitor blog?

Ignoring that, let's go back to the pharma example. How long do you estimate developing a new drug will take? It's not the first drug your company has developed. Anything beyond a week is hard to estimate.

Back to your estimate of 25% within 4-8 weeks, this would never be accepted because it could mean anything.

The worse part, I an tell you right now, even if new functionality or changes are added, you will be elf to 4-8 weeks, the 25% will be ignored. And in most cases management will hold you to 4 weeks because this is what was sold to their bosses.
As a game developer I'm pretty excited about this. There is really no reason to use DX12 backend anymore in the future game development, because of the ease of development, performance and multiplatform features of the Vulkan.
I still think the ,/. decimal separator issue is bigger deal.
Certainly will try to bring this feature in upcoming versions.
For me the big difference is management - pihole has a nice interface and there are a bunch of browser extensions compatible with it, you can exclude all of their lists and start from scratch.
I always have trouble explaining that it took a week to implement 90 percent of the whole project but then it took another 4 weeks to figure out why some little feature failed sometimes. That's my problem with scrum and velocity numbers. It gives clueless people the illusion that they can estimate everything easily.
This ad campaign still _blows my fucking mind_. How did this leave the 4x4 space of open office of whoever thought it was a good idea? I don't know how big of a company AirBnB is but presumably more than 1 person had to give this the thumbs up, right?!

I absolutely love AirBnB as a user and I hope they can come to agreeable legal terms with the communities they are in. As a programmer and potential employee these ads say to me: "don't ever try to work at AirBnB, we only drink the finest Kool-aid and there is a lot of cyanide in it."
So, 12 inches in a foot isn't odd because it makes it easier to measure a third of a foot, but, apparently, people need one eighth or one sixteenth of an inch way more often than one third, so the rational thing to do is to divide an inch in 16 parts, not 12?

Also, people rarely need a third of a mile, so why bother giving that a name or even making that an integral number of yards? But hey, if you happen to need one eleventh of a mile, rejoice: that's 160 yards, and one eighth of a mile, apparently, is used so much that it has its own name.

Correlation is not causation, but chances are a third of a foot is more popular because there are 12 inches in a foot, not the other way around.
