There is a difference between plans and goals. Many times a five year will need to change drastically and often without changing the overall goal.

A plan isn't a bad thing but being overly committed to it can be fatal. One of the things about publishing a five year plan for a company is that you are usually judged in the markets by how closely you stuck to and succeeded in that plan. In tech, and probably most other industries as well, that can be fatal. Publishing a goal is a little less fatal since it doesn't outline a series of steps toward reaching that goal and allows you flexibility to pivot. Assuming of course that you didn't phrase your goal in the form of a plan or get too specific or detailed.
The old rail route through the Gotthardt pass runs in a set of vertical spirals to achieve the vertical elevation.

This is a pretty interesting idea!
I don't think it aims to replace ruby (they don't even claim any kind of "compatibility" level with ruby, more like "inspired by ruby" I would think), but...I wish it would replace it :)
To be honest? Yes, I did make it up on the spot, because my reaction to the post was "there has to be a better way to interpret bitwise AND operating on decimals". What I cared about was that we could build some sort of extension for bitwise AND that operated on any base in a completely consistent way, with no considerations for whether that interpretation is in widespread use.

I must confess to being quite chuffed that homegarlic has since commented that this is consistent with how Zadeh fuzzy set theory works (though that uses reals in the [0,1] range rather than modular arithmetic).
Most of the sites we build on Wagtail use taxonomies / categorisation, either with a foreign key to categories defined as snippets, or with custom model classes for each page type, as you describe. You're right that Wagtail has no 'native' equivalent of WP's Categories, and perhaps that's a mistake. You're also right to focus on ideas and usage over technical details; we fall into this trap too easily.

I'm very interested in talking more about this, but without derailing the topic. Please email me on my first name at torchbox.com.

Linux represents less than 5% of the desktops and most of its users are not know to pay for software (a bit like Android).

It makes no financial sense, considering you have a zillion distributions to support.

No need of a MS and Apple conspiracy.
Now that you mention other resources, I would kill for a generalised GC implementation. One where more resources than memory could be tracked. And even for memory it will be beneficial to have several GCd heaps so you could put different classes of objects on different heaps with different limits.

In short rather than not wanting GC, I think GC doesn't go far enough.

My intuition is also that a Crystal REPL is technically possible. But FTR, the two languages implement subtly different type restrictions.

Scala has type inference, Crystal has optional typing. In Scala, there are certain situations when the type is discernible by the compiler, and can be omitted. For example

val x = 1 + 2 + 3

the compiler infers that x is an Integer. However, omitting type information in Scala is the exception not the rule. Methods and functions, for example, must have type annotations.

In practice, Crystal also infers type. But in Crystal you can omit almost any type annotation, including method and function definition. This probably poses a different challenge for the compiler authors. The Type Restrictions sections provides some more examples https://crystal-lang.org/docs/syntax_and_semantics/type_rest...

sounds more like the ecosystem for windows support is slow. Or were there some stdlib's useful for it in go on linux?
You said it: it is the thing people keep a Windows around for. So they are already buying licenses, so why would Adobe spend money on a Linux port, on extra support, ...?

I honestly doubt that the number of Linux users that would buy an Adobe Suite for Linux, but aren't buying it for another OS now is very large, or even close to be enough to justify the expense. Commercial desktop software on Linux doesn't have that many success stories, and right now there isn't much in the way of commercial competition that might capture that market.
The state of QA, if there is such a concept, is not in a good place. To me, it's more divergently interpreted at each organization than any other role.

Business apps fail – 2 basic reasons
“Could you work 130 hours in a week?” The answer is yes, if you’re strategic about when you sleep, when you shower, and how often you go to the bathroom. The nap rooms at Google were there because it was safer to stay in the office than walk to your car at 3 a.m. For my first five years, I did at least one all-nighter a week

Really? I always thought that pulling all-nighters hurts more than it helps. Optimizing your bathroom breaks seems really silly to me.
> Is this really a significant privacy issue? Server can deduce which items (I use word "item" to refer to a resource cache entry) are missing from client cache just by monitoring follow-up requests by the client.

Conceivably, a server could generate random null resources which are cached by the client and can then be used, as the GP indicates, to identify it — yet another supercookie.
It is, and I think it's rather common for states, and he's usually used it responsibly to keep the state's finances semi-sane. Don't know about this example, though.

The US president used to be able to do this, Thomas Jefferson was the first in 1801 per Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impoundment_of_appropriated_fu...), and it continued to help keep the US Federal budget a bit sane until in 1974 when the Nixon excuse was used, as it was for so much else, to completely change the way we did budgeting (and much else, like campaign financing, the primary system, etc.).

As someone who's been there for the before and after, this was not an improvement, something that's going to be brought forcefully to everyone's attention when e.g. we are no longer viewed as the least worst place to stash your wealth.
Caches effectively are SRAM. It's inherently much less dense than DRAM; I had a quick look on Intel and the largest I could see was 37Mb of cache.
This is all very perplexing. I don't understand any of this internal logic. I can't see how you can "treat [sex] exactly like you would any other experience" because we treat all experiences differently. We don't treat riding a bike like eating. We don't treat gardening like watching a movie. So how can we treat sex like gardening, watching a movie, biking, and eating? Likewise, I don't see how making sex "just another experience" makes it "not special." I hope that most of our experiences in life are special. I'm sure I've completely missed the point. Sorry if that's the case.

It makes sense to me, based on my own limited personal experience as a college prof (teaching CS). Particularly for our intro classes, it's fairly common for a male student to struggle all semester and scrape by with a D-, then without hesitation declare his intention to be a CS major. At the same time, a female will get a B or A- and walk away apparently thinking "I guess I'm just not good at this and CS just isn't for me."

This is all just my impression, of course, from a small sample size. Still, we've had very good results improving our male/female ratio just by have a short 1-minute chat with each student that gets above a B, praising their work and encouraging them to consider CS as a major.

Gulen's organisation is older, they started to recruit people to state positions starting from 1970's. Erdogan and Gulen supported each other after 2002 election. Both benefited from this partnership at that time. Especially after Ergenekon trials, the army lost the ability to clean Gulen supporters. The organisation spread like a virus, capturing key positions faster.

As the remaining uneaten pie got smaller, they realized the country is not big enough for two of them(2011-2013). I think that too much centralized power is a bad thing. Something like checks and balances is needed in Turkey. However at this point it is better for a selected goverment to be in power than a secretive ponzi-scheme-like organisation(lesser evil mindset). Ironically Erdogan says now: "we were deceived". Other political parties say: "what if you get deceived again?".

Windows isnt done till linux wont run.
I often use a script I hacked together called memo [1] when exploring the commandline. Today I was running a pipeline like this:

$ memo expensive-with-lots-of-output | memo -s expensive | less

I noticed that lz4 (the default (de)compressor memo uses) was the bottleneck. ("memo -s" absorbs standard input and calculates a checksum over it and the command arguments, if that checksum is in the cache, it knows it can just output the cached value instead of running the command).

So I started looking around if there was nothing better around. From the Squish benchmarks posted elsewhere on this article [2], I noticed that zstd(1) seemed to make the right trade-offs. I required compression speed > 50MB/s, decompression speed at least as fast, and as high a compression ration as possible.

zstd(1) seems to work brilliantly and is very fast, it was easy to compile too, just running make in its directory was sufficient for me. I love those kinds of projects. I've made it the default over lz4. What gave me even more confidence in this change is that zstd is by the author of lz4.

An interesting idea, but I'm concerned about the privacy implications. Does it send all 404 URLs to the Wayback Machine to see if it has a copy? That reveals one's browsing habits without one affirmatively doing anything. Does it strip URL query parameters? These are commonly used for session IDs and auth tokens. Does it strip URL path parameters? Conceivably these might have private information in them as well. For that matter, paths themselves may contain private information.

If all it does is offer a link to the Wayback Machine, then it sounds great. But I worry that folks might want it to do more, without realising what that might mean.

Of course. Mayer's quote is a vapid corporate platitude. Hours have no correlation to value.

What really creates value is smart, prophetic strategy and effective management. Hours are a resource guided by strategy and management, not an end in themselves.

If your strategy is clueless and your management is intrusive, all you're doing is wasting everyone's time - and 80 hour weeks won't help you.

Yeah, parenting can be kind of a balancing act. I think there is a valid point that your posts were getting at which is it's important to give your kids the space to make their own decisions and learn from their own consequences. The hard part about parenting though is having a good understanding of where your child is at developmentally, and then figuring out which decisions are developmentally appropriate for them to be making for themselves.

What does believing in an emotion mean? Egotism is arguably no more real then altruism. If your "reward in the brain" statement is correct why is that egotism? If that reward system drives a father to kills himself for his child that's not very egotistic. Why in a biological system would the "self" be preferred above the larger picture? This is definitely not argued in evolutionary theory. In the end it's very much connected to our core motives for doing what we do, and surviving is not always on the top of that list.
It absolutely is unhelpful in anything more than short bursts. It is very odd how obsessed she seems with hours-worked.

Mayer is someone who proclaims to believe in the power of data. I'm curious then what data she has to back her views on crunch==maximization of value creation. Most of the data I've seen says the opposite. It seems Mayer may be letting her anecdotal experience in the early days of Google trump data here. (A it's also possible that anyone, including Mayer, can have misperceived or misattributed the importance of sustained crunch in those days or its causative effect on success.)

And I do so deeply apologize if you find my opinion "uninteresting" as if one of the prime forces for an opinion is how spicy it is. I will continue to expound my "uninteresting" opinions which are backed by "boring" facts and "generic" lived experiences. Meanwhile, you can place value on how exciting an opinion is. Agreed?

but probably won't stand as the Governor is technically the head of prosecution and would therefore have a conflict of interest with every case.

I only skimmed the discussion a bit and searched for keywords, but I'm not sure how that can be true when we have an independently elected Attorney General. Unlike the unitary executive system of the Federal executive, where the President can fire the AG at will (see e.g. the other Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre), I don't think the state governor has any power over the AG's office besides I guess the same power to defund him that Nixon did to create this situation in the first place.

Or I'm forgetting details perhaps never taught in 7th grade state level civics, back in the early-mid '70s.

From personal experience 5 year goals/plans can help to give you a very broad outlook on where you want to get to, but be prepared to tear them up every 2-3 years ;)

When I look back to 2011 I'd never have guessed that I would be where I am, doing what I do, today. I'm confident I'll be able to say the same in 2021.

My parents grew up with the "one-company-for-life" mentality, but I'm a firm believer that it's good to mix things up every few years to keep yourself fresh and motivated. That's not to say you should abandon something that you're truly passionate about if you continue to derive long-term enjoyment from it, but rather be open and flexible to new opportunities as they may take you places you'd never imagine.
This article is the reason why I read HN. I admire the author's persistence and cleverness, but also the writeup is very good and gives a clear glimpse into each step. Bravo!

The title makes it sound as if this is the default, a unconditional redirect, which appears not to be the case; it seems to offer an optional redirect, which sounds like a better idea. I don't think unconditionally redirecting users would be the way to go; it would be better for the end user to clearly understand the page they were trying to access is not there, to prevent security issues, spam or other abuse resulting from the confusion and automation.

To offer the user clearly explained options after a clear 404 does sound like a good idea however, granted that the Wayback Machine can (and wants to) handle the additional load.

What about ARM?
I do wonder how many states simpler systems like the GB or NES would have since they have fewer buttons, simpler audio, and less ram. Still probably a tough call -- for an accuracy-focused emulator that requires a lot of processing power this sort of solution might be out of reach for some years. You could probably do it on less accurate emulators, but then you're already relying on hacks & cheats so you might as well use other solutions for lowering input lag.
I look at services as being an admission that we haven't really evolved language design into the Eli Whitney era. It looked for a time like we were moving that way with VBX, workflow engines, and mobile agent style divisions. Everything we do seems external to the languages we use.

Purely anecdotical, but most of the women with a STEM education or interest I've heard from had a strong visceral dislike for calculus and strong attraction towards algebra.

And not in the US. And also including mathematics graduates. "I'd take any abstract algebra problem/work anytime, just keep differential equations of all kinds away from me" was smth I've heard once if memory serves well...

And at at least in European countries, high school math puts strong focus on calculus because of the obvious applications in physics. If doing stuff with groupoids and matrices is you kick, you could just as well get labeled "not a math person" if you don't get integrals and derivatives well enough...

(Me personally, I'm a male with strong calculus intuition - "checking my privilege" here to be PC :) )
This is a completely speculative argument.

It's like arguing about building a computer that can simulate reality. It just keeps getting bigger and more complicated and consuming more power and running slower as you learn about the new things it has to do, and soon the "possible in theory" becomes larger than the observable universe.

Not if it's written PHP and went through the hand of multiple developers in its early days when standards were less well defined.

Coding in PHP has become a lot better over they years but if you have the misfortune of having to maintain legacy code it' s pretty much guaranteed to be a bad time.

No MVC, no templates, no PDO hell it's one step removed from the early days when everything was in 1 big file and nobody seems to be bothered by it or willing to budget time to rewrite it and eliminate the technical debt incurred every time you need to modify it.
