I found the Pomodoro technique to be even more effective when working remotely. It forces me to work hard at manageable stretches as well as to write down what constitutes a 30 minute chunk of work. I'll write out a list of items that fit within these chunks at the end of my day including items from my backlog. These can even be learning new skills.

Distractions are usually a consequence of being burnt out. That means you need to take more _effective_ breaks and/or work out your discipline muscle, meaning you can go longer and more effectively.
Best part is AMP is a C++ library.
That depends a bit on what you define as prerendering. Facebook, Google and many others render client views server side (or as much as possible). See Spotify's recently open sourced HubFramework for example for how they do that with iOS. Having multiple languages doesn't preclude you from doing clever things like that and having a single language doesn't necessarily allow you to do it either.
> By looking for these kinds of partisan idioms in Wikipedia articles, the Harvard researchers could determine whether the text sounded more like the product of a Republican or a Democrat. They were also able to document how the articles evolved over time.

Another explanation that fits the results of this study is that the popular party idioms changed over time. As the old idioms were replaced by new ones this analysis made the Wikipedia pages and editors appear to become less biased.
They touch on that in the link. "“There are regulatory and commercial and moral reasons for privacy from all sectors,” he says. To give a commercial example: Apple wouldn’t want Samsung to be able to track its transactions and gain valuable competitive intelligence."

I agree with this sentiment.

Given how much difficultly so many software companies have in doing this, especially sustaining it, it seems unlikely companies from other domains are capable of succeeding, especially in this domain where sustained effort is required.

And car company cultures ... I recommend two things to get an idea about them, US ones at least (for Japanese, the revelations of Toyoda's horrible software practices after their code was subject to 3rd party examination is sufficient for me):

Read a bit of DeLorean's On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors (hardcover: https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Day-You-General-Motors/dp/09603... paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Day-You-General-Motors/dp/03805...), you'll be impressed by the insanity. Granted, things had to change after GM hit hard times, but when you start out with a base like that, well, nothing in recent decades should come as a great surprise.

And the bits in King of the Killing Zone (https://www.amazon.com/King-Killing-Zone-Kelly-Orr/dp/042512...), the best book I know of about the development of the superlative M1 Abrams tank, about the engineers dealing with their Chrysler car salesman boss.

His main concern, at least as described in the book, was that it looked good. Which I suspect was highlighted because it caused the most friction with the engineers and made a good story. Note that in and of itself, that's a good goal, men should feel proud about their weapons (and I can't imagine the culture of French rifle designers), but....

As it turned out, a lot of his input of this type had good results. One bit prompted the start of a design iteration where they shaved a foot off the height of the tank, which is critical for the European theater (by comparison, prior to the development of the "Silver Bullet", maximum main gun depression which translated into greater heights was key in deserts).

In the other example I remember, he insisted the side armor skirts be extended all the way to the back. Now, they were doing simulations of everything to help decide the very many trade-offs of parameters like size, weight, and protection/offensive capability, and this wasn't recommended by those.

But I guess it was a close enough call that they went ahead and did it, and not only did it improve the looks of the tank, it turned out to be important in limiting the kicking up of debris by the treads, which was critical since the M1 was the first (and only?) turbine powered tank, which requires a lot of air, and the air filtering system can deal with only so much junk.

Depends on which aspect you mean. E.g. a proper infrared tracker with high framerate, something like >120Hz, can be used to detect microsaccdes. I don't know much about webcam tech, but I doubt it can reach those framerates and at the same time low noise needed to distinguish those microsaccades. Then again, the research of the meaning of those and whether they're predictive or not isn't conclusive afaik so I wouldn't know any use for VR anyway.
Yes, but you're not committing a felony, risking jail time and fines.

Also, you've identified why GOTV is a big deal in campaigns.

That said, rounding up a big group of people together to all vote is a whole lot easier than rounding up a big group of people to commit felonies.
Not that I'm consciously aware of, but I may have subconsciously lifted it from somewhere. "Made man in My image" is of course from Genesis.

The idea of technology making or remaking man rather than the other way round is definitely part of Futurism, Modernism and to some extent Bolshevism. I'd suggest reading Bruno Latour on the subject, especially "Aramis, or the Love of Technology".

I can't say I disagree with him on many points - I just have too much shit to do. I also want stuff that works over purity. He even tacitly acknowledges that he's in a special situation.
Also redundancy doesn't solve a lot of potential problems. What if your redundant systems disagree? Which one is wrong?
5% < 10%, last time I checked. Also, "Bitcoin did something fishy" should be a reason to invent some thing less fishy, not more.
Same, even with a small and narrow android phone i have to consciously make a spider-like gesture to reach anything on the left side of the screen and sometimes trigger finds just by holding it by the edges because the screen is so close to the edges.

A phone with even less space around the screen would just drive me entirely mad.

And to think, just a few years ago with the E6-00 i had a phone that i could operate mostly blind. Nowadays i can't even take my phone out of the pocket without being careful and conscious about it.

That's because there is no implicit data structure to XML mapping by default. This is a good thing; it makes XML much more flexible.

Of course, that flexibility is what burdened us with SOAP, XBRL, and other monstrosities; but I blame the creators of SOAP, not XML. XML is the "C" of the data markup world (simple but flexible), whereas JSON is more akin to "Java" (heavily restricted in capability, resulting in workarounds to represent complex concepts).

{ "hshhd" : { "uueus":"Eric" } }

How would JSON be any better in this case?

A Startup to Help You Get Paid from Your Data
The main misuse, again this is opinion based, is that it hides (obscures) the type of variable. If you have (say) a very large struct containing several member variables and functions, a programmer can be misled into returning it from a function or declaring it on the stack.

Of course there are reasonable uses for it. Contrary, to the above you might use it to intentionally make an object opaque as a way of abstracting its details from users or when declaring use of int/long in code.
Bezel size matters to me.

I'd like to have enough of it to be able to grab the phone solidly by the sides without activating things on the screen.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I didn't consider deeper/complex routes with parameters.

This scheme seems to force route parameters into query parameters. Disadvantage: It's not RESTful. Advantage: Your route parameters are now named query parameters. You only handle one dict of parameters...

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Ask: Do Mods Read Articles That Are Flagged?
I've noticed a few times I've submitted articles that are about both tech and politics; case in point one about the senate/congress race being 'rigged' because of how the jurisdictions have been adjusted recently (news to me). The article goes on to explain that various technologies were used to rework the districts.

Anyway, it's an interesting read, yet it is flagged after receiving several upvotes.

This makes me wonder if this is automatic (aka people flagging it) or is this something the mods do? And if it's the mods do you actually read the articles or do you just have a knee jerk reaction to the title and flag away?

Seriously wondering....
Having to put your program in a string makes it hard to edit.
Syntax highlighting, static analysis and tooling in general that helps you filter problems might not work there.

To me, tooling is very important since software is more consistent/reliable/productive at simple repetitive tasks like matching parenthesis, braces, quotes... and in my case I take it further like documenting types via documentation tags and verifying that function signatures and return types match. That alone helps me save a lot of time once the code has grown over 1 kSLOC.

I think it should be replaced to just a filename that gets required.
I'm sort of annoyed at the whole concept of 'alt-coin' as if bitcoin is the one, true cryptocurrency and everything else are mere pretenders. Bitcoin has flaws: Transactions aren't really anonymous, mining has become centralized, it's nearly impossible to earn money as an independent miner, it's incredibly inefficient for transmitting small sums of money, etc... There are going to be other coins that try to solve those problems in different ways. They aren't 'altcoins'. They're just cryptocurrencies, and they'll rise and fall on the merits just like any other cryptocurrency.

There's a whole lot of fud and hype and just plain misinformation in the cryptocurrency space because a lot of people treat them like penny stocks to run pump and dump scams on, but that doesn't mean they're all just that.
The fact that there's some lack of trust in the voting system -- regardless of whether there are issues with the system -- is a problem.

We're smart, well-meaning people. We can spend time discussing whether or not there is a problem: that's beside the point. How can we strengthen the entire system in a fair way that ensures reasonable people trust that the election is fair? We might disagree on which areas need to be worked on. That's an indication that all of those areas need effort, because they all need to be trusted. It's not either/or.

People have been working on this. And it tackles a lot problems people here find interesting: open systems, cryptography, application of tech in society, hardware, scaling to name a few. We can build on the work that's already been done together. It strengthens all of us.
When the latest Tesla press release came out about performance, I surrendered after about an hour or two of edit warring about how it wasn't actually a verified / independent track time, but rather a PR piece about predicted performance.

Pointing out the guidelines on the page themselves didn't matter.

Reverting with comments in the revert itself didn't matter.

Whether new people or established editor, everyone was falling over themselves to get the edit in.

I decided it was futile when they started deciding the solution was instead to rewrite the "guidelines" for what measurements were acceptable, basically "Screw you, we're putting the Tesla in. If it doesn't count based on the rules, we're changing the rules."

So now it's in three categories, "independent/ verified", "manufacturer tested", and "manufacturer claimed" (the latter of which only had the new Tesla).
Is LISP still relevant? ;-)

I'm curious whether folks think the ideas of LISP are still resonant and powerful in the startup world and wider industry.

This is different from the question of inspiration. Yes, I admire.

Does PG, for instance, still think that startups can have 'secret' technical advantages and use strategies like 'running upstairs', i.e. choosing to do hard things as a competitive advantage.

By ideas of LISP I mean things like programs-as-data and a small kernel from which the system is bootstrapped.
omitting the amp cache google link basically makes it not AMP though - you can still follow the rules but it's just called "writing clean and minimal html" at that point.

few are willing to admit that in some cases ignorance is what holds things together.

The emperor is wearing no clothes? Religion? "A classic is a book everyone says is important, but no one gets around to reading."

I think a big part of the problem is deep knowledge and intimate knowledge vs. shallow knowledge. You see this a lot in programming and computer science. Sometimes almost no knowledge is fine, but just a little bit more is dangerous, whereas a lot of it would be much more beneficial. This also goes for knowing your neighbors.

1: There were several concrete suggestions there. It's not mere "concern trolling".

2: Ending wasteful or very low value-add spending vis-a-vis "better outcomes for the poor" is useful regardless. Whatever your priorities, we can allocate those resources better.

3: Just because the economic and social woes of the poor are tough problems that admit of no easy solutions does not mean that we cannot speak frankly about the nature of the problem. Yes, the issues are substantially genetic and, to lesser degree, cultural. Today people with sub-par cognitive skills (not to mention other issues) have limited market value, which leads to unemployment and lower incomes, which further encourages social breakdown (above and beyond that which we'd otherwise find), which leads to other problems. Deluding ourselves about the nature of the problem isn't going to get us any closer to helping the poor.
It's the internet vs. intranets all over again. People have too much stock invested in "bitcoin is fundamentally flawed" and before that it was "bitcoin is a scam". Now it's "a different bitcoin is the answer".

I mean I just gave you the reasoning of entrenched editors, they're just not often good edits. These complaints come from people who think that Wikipedia is obliged to take any of their edits just because they took the time to hit the submit button. Wikipedia has policies and standards to uphold and people would complain if we went the other way and accepted all garbage people felt necessary to dump on the site. Also, the people who bring up these accusations never list the articles they were reverted on. Show me some of these edits improperly reverted and I'll personally help reinstate them or explain what was wrong with them.

If we want it to be secure anyway...

Oh God, I'm _really_ hoping you're being sarcastic.

You've read about the dozens on dozens of compromised exchanges?

You heard about the DAO hack?

You realize that the majority of bitcoin is mined by like a dozen people in China?

Maybe someday we'll get our act together, but right now blockchains are a recipe for FUD and centralization.

(I say this as someone who thinks bitcoin is cool. For instance, the traditional financial system makes it unnecessarily hard to send money overseas, a need bitcoin can fill well. But secure? No.)

I want to get involved with an open source project, I am familiar with Haskell and enthusiastic about making it more accessible. I've just completed an educational project where I've used iPython with my students and I would have used Haskell if the tooling were a bit smoother.

So far the entry barrier was too high for me but I want to reach out and ask if anyone is willing to hold my hand a little so that I might get over the initial hurdles. Could you suggest some entry points for me? A bug tracker, an IRC channel, a github issues page? Should I just hack on it on my own until I have a specific unit of work to contribute, or is there someone who could use my help with the coding and provide guidance as to the organizational side of things?
