Thanks for sharing an above average scenario and congrats.

And were the offers from startups like Robinhood/Affirm and the I-bank competitive with the big tech cos?
If only web developers would unite and put an end to JS once and for all.

This is really sad, a whole industry that was once inspired by Unix philosophy and was supposed to be beautiful and fun, is now conquered by languages like JS, php, and Java: so ugly and so not fun.

I always thought programming should be something you do cause you like it, not because you're forced to do it. If you use JS cause "everybody else uses it" and "it pays more", then I'm sorry, you're screwed. I thought CS industry belongs to developers, not tech giants (Oracle, Microsoft, ...) who force Java and JS on everybody.

Someday, some body will stand up and say "Enough is Enough".

Yes the leadership should be criticized. My point it is a brainwashing tool. My comment probably did not properly convey the nuanced and subtle ways of mind control. It goes more like this when expanded:

"You cannot ever criticize our troops, or our military, because they are heroes. If you do, you are not an American. You must never forget that our troops and our military protect you always."

The tautology is that the actions of our military are always justified.

And this supports the parent comment that the average American has no clue what it actually means to let their military-industrial complex run rampant across the globe, because to question it would be un-American.
Sure these early days might show this being overkill, or less performant than traditional methods, but my hope is that this newer approach leads to other types of benefical apps. I'm keenly interested in how these types of approaches help for "unhosted" types of apps (see http://unhosted.org/), as well as offline first apps.
I already knew all of this, yet it doesn't really affect my opinion. It provides no evidence whatsoever that going out into nature and picking random naturally occurring foods is more healthy than our food system today.

It's amazing how things change, sometimes so fast. PowerShell and not just cross-platform but open source too. Two-year ago me would've assumed this was an oddly timed April fool's joke.
I think a location-based policy at the time of posting is sensible. That's also how international law work: if I smoke a joint in Amsterdam, I am not liable for it back home. When in Rome...

I also think that the policy should apply to the poster, not to the viewers. What makes our world great is its wide range of cultures, and we should not isolate ourselves in little silos. Conversely, we should not allow a single culture to dictate to everybody else what is acceptable or not.

To be fair, I don't think any policy is necessary besides moderating and reporting illegal content. But since Facebook seems quite inclined to go the extra mile to make its platform less offensive, I think this would be a good compromise.
I don't want to discard your opinion but it does seem like a bit of a false dichotomy when we're talking about FOSS software.

No one is compelled to use Vim over Vi, you can just leave it in compatible mode or use another vi binary such as the one in busybox.

As far as the built in language and external API being second-class well you may have a point but both Vim and NeoVim are improving.

Whilst it's still useful and still provides, IMHO, nice ergonomics I'm probably going to stick with either Vim or NeoVim I think. I really don't mind if they never make up their mind what they want to be when they grow up. ;)
The only thing he does that's remotely related to programming, is configuring the terminal.

I can't even think about using Ubuntu for developing stuff without first enabling virtual desktops, and they are not included in this guide.

No mention of a clipboard manager.

We should all be using provisioned virtual machines for development. This is disgrace.

Shen Elisp – An Implemenatation of the Shen Language in Elisp
It has been a couple of years since I last read through the material and confused the Six Day War with the Yom Kippur War. Another correction is that while the Soviet Union was supplying Syrian and Egyptian forces it wasn't a war that the Soviet Union instigated (unlike the Six Day War).

For those who don't want to wade through the bulk of the material (which is still fascinating) the relevant history begins is Section III of the document and relevant sections condensed below:

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, obviously not at his best at a press briefing, was, according to Time magazine, rattled enough to later tell the prime minister that “this is the end of the third temple,” referring to an impending collapse of the state of Israel. “Temple” was also the code word for nuclear weapons... The Israelis assembled 13 twenty-kiloton atomic bombs. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was notified of the alert several hours later on the morning of 9 October....

Israeli commandos flew to Fort Benning, Georgia to train with the new American TOW anti-tank missiles and return with a C-130 Hercules aircraft full of them in time for the decisive Golan battle. American commanders in Germany depleted their stocks of missiles, at that time only shared with the British and West Germans, and sent them forward to Israel.

Thus started the subtle, opaque use of the Israeli bomb to ensure that the United States kept its pledge to maintain Israel's conventional weapons edge over its foes. There is significant anecdotal evidence that Henry Kissinger told President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, that the reason for the U.S. airlift was that the Israelis were close to “going nuclear.”

>Your commentary in this thread is actively harmful in its complete substitution of science and understanding for your own personal gut feeling. You sure are saying a lot and ignoring the requests for citations.

The only thing that harmfull in this thread is the viral groupthink, you are more than capable of doing your own research.

The Journal of Human Evolution is a good place to start, PMC also has some good sources on dietary and nutritional habits throughout human evolution.

Reading the works of evolutionary and molecular biologists like Hillard Kaplan, Marlene Zuk and Jennie Miller would also do you good.

But sure keep spreading your "scientific" fact, just ignore the studies and research and cherry pick your evidence like that initial NHS study that was disavowed by the NHS itself because it was utterly flawed as the data about the greatness of the low carb and paleo diets eventually came out of 6 people since everyone else dropped the study which also lacked a control group.
Or the 2nd UK study that again had issues with high dropout rates and still somehow managed to get published even tho the dropout rate effectively attached a huge selection bias to the study.

But hey you and your gang are more than welcomed to downvote actual evidence even statements like the fact that our ancestors processed plants ;) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2973873/

Overall if you actually care about GI and carbs the research authored and coauthored by Jennie Miller is a great source of information, unlike people like Loren Cordain she's actually accredited to making the claims she makes, and it's ironic that one of the biggest proponents of the low GI diet is for the most part against low carb diets in general.

My experience in school seems similar except I didn't get nice math courses until very late on and I was miserably bad at the memorization-based Calculus work (and I still am, but I can do abstract math very well). By then I was pretty disillusioned by school in general.

His luck probably helped quite a lot. Nobody really knows what they are good at or what they will enjoy until they do it. Even if it's 'harder' or 'easier'. Having a good mentor is difficult as well; they have to know their stuff, want to teach and mesh well with you.
Agreed. Ideally a diary with a strong lock.
> The justification for the rule of law is inherently ideological. If the law is just another pragmatic tool for the powerful to oppress the weak, then why should the masses respect the concept?

The ideological justification for the rule of law is not necessarily opposed to it also being a pragmatic tool for the powerful.

One of the best ways to understand the legal system is as a tool for elites to secure their privileges and avoid violent confrontations over who gets those privileges.

Having written significant pieces of code in javascript over the last 13 years, I've benefitted massively from those speed increases, and while I'm aware of a number of reasons that they have occurred (including but not limited to the v8 engine - I remember reading excitedly about tamarin, tracemonkey and the like), I don't think it's silly to point out the sheer magnitude of the improvement.

I'm not trying to say that JS is going to save us from Wirth's law or anything, I'm just trying to give people context on what a huge jump it has been.

Generally, the advice is that fruit is good for you primarily because of the quantity of fibre it contains. I seem to recall Robert Lustig discussing this point. Fibre keeps sugar in your gut longer, which in turn means it's broken down by bacteria there rather than having to be broken down by your liver. It was in this talk he gave, at around 1hr 13min 52sec or so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
This makes me remember the late Dr. Atkins of the "Atkins Diet" who was pretty much the laughing stock of dietitians then and now.

Yet people that tried the diet have found life-long positive health impacts. I'm one of these people.

I would also like to put some blame on so-called dietitians, who up until very, very recently would have warned you against a low carb diet.

Every dietician I talk to is so absolutely sure about what they recommend and believe.

I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 12, I'm 21 now.
Food with identical glycemic indexes do cause different responses. Bread and food with fibers keep the blood sugar levels sustained.

When I have to skip a meal, I've learned that it's best to eat oatmeal crackers. They keep you full and you don't experience hypoglysemia. When I eat candy-bars/chocolate as a substitute for a meal, my blood sugar drops immensely after a couple of hours. I feel exhausted, my hands start to tremble and I forget words/things.

On the other hand, fruits also have the same effect on me as candy-bars. Fructose is no different for me.

For diabetics at least, sugar is poison. But I can't seem to live without it.
I recently moved more logic out to the frontend for the one and only reason of Responsiveness.

Compared to what? PHP is/was far, far worse than JS has ever been, and I remember when you couldn't declare a function in a function (IE3 iirc). There are a few, well defined quirks, and some other behaviors that are arguable, but JS is one of the most expressive languages around, and with the ES2017+ enhancements really nice.

JS is my favorite language, hands down... C# is a close second, and that's as much for the tooling as the language, though the p/invoke and native interfaces are pretty awesome. After that, there's some functional languages I like, and have been looking for a reason to use Rust or Go for something... beyond that, most languages have a lot of their own warts.
It's weird that we don't have a profile page for every official on a web site, detailing this official's performance, and for their supervisor, also a list of spendings overseen by this official and a button 'open a case for persecution'.

It would be really nice to see them spawn another brand that they can use for more easily publishing things that don't meet "Blizzard" standards.
Obviously if you don't need anything done that is subject to those laws, then you do not suffer.

But, for example, if I didn't have access to the electrical code, I would have been unable to definitively follow the law when running some new power circuits. I would have had to rely on folk guidelines and general engineering knowledge, and could have possibly done something that would cause legal problems down the line.

Furthermore, I may have decided that such a thing wasn't worth getting into, and been pushed into hiring an expensive contractor instead.

A diet of animal parts (i.e. ALL of the animal, not just muscle) and leafy, non-starchy plants, is perfectly keto-compliant. Who says that a low-carb diet excludes plants?

Apply this logic to clothes. If we all wore the same minimalistic clothes, it would allow our individuality to shine through more because the clothes wouldn't "distract" from our personalities?

It's possible, I suppose, but there's something frankly terrifying about everyone looking the same. It's a staple of dystopian fiction, and I think one of the authors' points is that we get the same effect, albeit smaller, when everyone's devices look the same.
I've got Intel graphics and a 4K monitor on Linux. With the Intel drivers, I have no vsync (I can't use TearFree because of strange video corruption issues), but things mostly run correctly. With modesetting drivers, I have triangular tearing and serious performance issues in Sublime Text, but _do_ have vsync in fullscreen.

My workaround for watching movies with vsync? Use Intel drivers in my main X session, modesetting in a secondary X session just for mpv.
He said he lost 20 pounds, not 20 pounds of fat.

The interesting thing about sugar is that it also causes your body to retain a lot of water. Same with salt.

So losing 20 pounds in a short time is totally possible for someone who is tall.

We don't really. Print media is extremely off limits because it's protected by the First Amendment. Try passing regulation requiring a newspaper to print an image just because you deem it worthy.

We don't really, the bar is very high. Also, these laws to apply to things written online, just ask Gawker.

If you relying on the USAF document don't, it's not even that well researched, the fact that it was published in a USAF publication doesn't mean much, this is editorial/thesis level of analysis not a policy paper or official NSC briefing.

The timeline of all of these events do not make any sense and are with odds with official declassified Israeli and US documents.

The TOW missile part is especially humourous.

P.S.
By the time the first US airlift has landed in Israel, the Israelis have already broken through the Egyptian lines, the 2nd Egyptian army was surrounded and cut off and the Israelites crossed the Suez canal.
Overall the reason the US agreed for the airlift was because the soviets were already running airlifts into Egypt and the US did not want to risk the soviets deciding to commit troops (well other than "advisers").

Recent declassified documents about the CIA briefings to Nixon also show that the Soviet actually transported nuclear material into Egypt during the 1973 war, this was what put the US on high alert, and it's also the reason why they sent their SR-71's over Israel and the Sinai and the pressing the Israeli government to hold their advance or they'll release the photographs to the UN.

What else have you used and what are you looking for? Specifically, can you list features (essentials and nice-to-haves).

Do you want it browser based? Standalone - mobile, desktop, both?

Does it need auto-import of transactions from your financial institutions?

Do you need budgeting or accounting or both?

EDIT:

I've used Mint for a long time, I like them for tracking my accounts but never quite got the hang of using it for budgeting.

I liked YNAB (standalone) for putting my inflow/outflow in terms of a monthly view, and their general financial philosophy is really good for people trying to get out from under debt (even small amounts) and move towards being more financially stable. It's useful if for nothing other than that. Their reports were also nice ways to view my money over time, to see where I could cutback on spending to make room for savings or other planned spending. It doesn't do auto-import, but does handle importing CSV files if you can download them from your bank/cc company. Other pros, it works on mobile and desktop using dropbox as the syncing mechanism. This is nice since that means syncing isn't tied to YNAB (though does require Dropbox to continue operating, safe for a few more years I imagine).

I tried their web version and was left dissatisfied. Lacked reporting, but gained auto-imports. So tradeoffs, also cost $5/month (discounted if you pay for the whole year).

I like ledger as an accounting tool, but I haven't got the hang of its budgeting mechanism. It's a CLI tool, but uses a plaintext file for managing your transactions. ledger-mode in emacs is solid, and it plays well with org-mode. I won't say this is "nicer" than Mint. It is, however, a good bit more powerful. It's a full-featured accounting system that's fairly approachable for programmers (IMO). There are some variants like hledger which are mostly compatible, but also offer some extra niceties like a self-hosted web interface.

I tried GnuCash, but found its interface on OS X particularly unpleasant and buggy so I didn't get far. More feature complete for accounting, I did setup budgets and thought I'd like it. But, again, the glitchy interface on OS X drove me away from it before I got far enough to really decide.
> You can show Braveheart or a video of a street mugging to a bunch of 8-10 year old kids at school but you can't show them a movie where (god forbid) a pair of tits appears on screen.

Braveheart is rated R.

We did get to see scenes from an R rated movie in grade 10, but it was the opening to saving private ryan while we were studying WW2. I'd argue that violence like that in context is more acceptable. 15 year olds are also much better prepared.

The thing that's really ridiculous is the swearing. The Walking Dead has gratuitous violence, but they can't say fuck because that would hurt advertising revenue. It's ridiculous.

Interesting, considering I've been reporting the same photo for years, which is constantly not deleted by these people. The photo itself shows the naked, bloody, mutilated corpse of a woman who was raped and murdered, then had a crucifix shoved down her throat. For what it's worth, the image is absolutely real, a crime scene photo. Every single time I report it, I get "We reviewed the photo you reported ... and found it doesn't violate our Community Standards." Humans are definitely reviewing that photo. I would post a link (in hopes that others here could help me report it) but it's extremely graphic and I'm sure HN would implode.
