I think syntax highlighting probably evolved before editors and IDEs could flag coding mistakes. A lot of the rationale for it no longer applies, e.g. coloring strings a certain way so if you forgot the terminating quotation mark, the rest of the file would change to that color and you'd know you screwed up.

I haven't used syntax highlighting for years. My IDE highlights mistakes and compiler errors, and everything else is black. It's actually a lot easier on my eyes, and the errors stand out a lot more because they are the only colored parts of the text. I only use highlighting these days to separate tags from content in markup languages like XML and HTML, where I still find it helpful.

This is all personal preference anyway, and it doesn't matter very much. But I do encourage people to try going without syntax highlighting for a few days. You may find that you didn't really need it, or that it was compensating for sloppy coding, and you may not want to switch it back on at the end of the experiment.
Ahh interesting. I will give this stacked approach a shot then! Thanks
>Slightly meta: Turning off the syntax highlighting entirely seems a bit hardcore to me, however, I always read each commit I do via git diff / pull request view, which does not have syntax highlighting (other than red/green for removals/additions), and I always strive to make the diff look good for each commit (which means, doing one thing at a time in each commit)

...alas, some projects require 1 commit per pr, max...

...then again, if you do a 1:1 commit:change as default the rebase msg is much easier to structure :)

> But you'd still need to translate for the sake of biological clocks

I fail to see what you mean. Do you mean your biological clock needs to see it's 12pm to believe that it's the middle of the day? Why can't your biological clock just settle on any arbitrary number?
I wouldn't think so. It looks like they're just using a similar name to signal that it's a similar thing.

I have to agree with your comment in regard to MagSafe. I have a 2013 Macbook Air and I still find the power connector to be one of my favorite things about it.
You didn't actually make many claims to counter the "for the kids" argument. The fact that kids in Alaska do that is unsurprising, but how does it affect them? I think it's pretty uncontroversial to say that Alaska is not one of the most appealing places to live for most people, and all else being equal, I suspect kids and parents would rather the sun come up before school.
Kind of.

Standard is the most popular format, and has the lowest power level of the major constructed formats. Cards are only legal in standard for about 1 year. Most cards that are played in standard aren't powerful enough for Modern, Legacy, or Vintage, so once they rotate out of standard, their value drops.

Siege Rhino, for instance, lost 80% of its peak value by the time it rotated out in April.

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/price/Khans+of+Tarkir/Siege+Rhin...

Modern is funny. It's non-rotating, but has a fairly aggressive ban list. No big deal if you play casually, but it's possible to drop $1-2k on a T1 deck, only to have a key card banned a year or two later, or for the meta to shift and your deck to be hated out of the format.

Legacy, Vintage, and EDH are generally more stable.

To be clear, I didn't mean "Are you joking?" as in "You are obviously lying or mistaken"; I really meant, exactly and only, "Are you joking?", because I found it incredible. Well, obviously you are not; and I would have taken you at your word without proof, but thank you for the careful documentation.

I still would be hesitant to talk about this in my own calculus courses, but, given the impression that this made on you and Will Stein's endorsement (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12886751), it sounds like that's just undue timidity on my part.
I find this argument extremely short sighted. Why is starting work early in the day a problem?

And why is going to bed at a decent hour to give you an 8 hour sleep period before you have to wake up for work or school a problem?
Why do you think so? I believe it would work better than the current system.

We could utilize roads, vehicles, parking space, other infrastructure, as well as manpower more evenly. Rush hours are a weird concept and painful for pretty much everyone every day - waiting in traffic or lines is not much of a joy. The fact that 9-5 workers all work at the same time means that any one worker doesn't have much chance to take advantage of what other businesses have to offer. Like, if you work exactly at the same time banks and government offices are open, when do you even run your errands? And why do we assume that from say 10pm to 6am everyone just wants to keep quiet and rest? Fck that noisy pub down the road, let's just shut it down already!

To put it another way, since we currently have no practical control over the passage of time, it would make sense to separate activities spatially instead.
Prices are a function of numerous inputs, with supply and demand being the most significant two.

When you have a consistent pattern of ballot spoilage, elections are not counted as normal; at that point you'd have court cases, recounts, assorted forensic attempts to verify valid votes, etc. The system is not a rigid machine - it is a set of rules for the common case, and a set of safeguards that trigger special-case handling.
This. As long as consumers have no way of knowing whether or not their information is being transmitted, what information it is, and how it will be used, corporations will continue to do it at will. We need strong user data protection laws here in the United States that make it extremely clear what rights you are signing away any time you allow a service to collect personal data about you.
Just finished watching the film Before The Flood and the representative from India's Centre For Science and Environment really frustrated and upset me. She was blaming US consumption as the source of the problem and how we don't practice what we preach. Our air is not poisonous, we don't have 300 million citizens without power living in poverty. The US has some of the best and greatest companies working on energy (see Tesla) and it is time India stop blaming the US and start putting in the work on their own.

One thing that I noticed when looking around was that screen resolution didn't seem to be a big focus.

The Panasonic models still have optical media. I can't think of a single western laptop that has a Blu-Ray burner in it. There might be some gaming laptops with that, but they would probably be 17 inch monsters and not extremely lightweight laptops.

What all of these mini computers need is modular, high speed persistent storage. They all use SD, which is sooooo slow as to be unusable.

I've seen a few boards which take eMMc but they are few and far between, and require special (proprietary to the board) hardware to be installed on the eMMC chip.

Even still I'm not sure the bus would even provide much IO bandwidth. Storage is an area that needs a lot more improvement for mini computers.
Great resource. I'm curious how this impacts photographers though given there's so many sources of free images now. Can you make a living creating and selling stock photos?

I used to like the idea of asynchronous messaging and thought it was the future of telephony/voip. But honestly, async is pretty annoying, because you have to wait ;). I guess what I'm trying to say is, synchronous things are easier for us. It's pretty gard for me to keep track of all the async text conversations I've got going on Facebook. Async is useful for some things, but it makes talking feel like work.

I guess CPS-based humans would be more suited for a networked world...

I consider this part of perhaps the most important rule of parenting: don't do (or stop doing ASAP) stuff you don't want to keep doing. Supplementary rule: expect friction any time you stop doing one of these things, and do your best to ignore said friction, or you'll backslide and never effect change, probably causing more total suffering (for all concerned) than if you'd just gone cold-turkey.
just to clarify the wording of your essentially correct supposition, the radio signal emanated from across the street "completely external to the device", but when this signal encountered the device, the device resonated (like an opera singer breaking a glass across a room, or even like your eardrum vibrating while listening, except EMF waves not sound) and the listeners across the street could detect the signal from this modulated resonance... so ultimately, not "completely external" to the device.

this type or degree of "vibrating resonance" is passive "signal electronics" rather than the active power electronics inside RFID, which uses a stronger signal resonance to generate power to power up an active broadcast and computing circuit.

it's not entirely unlike bouncing a laser off the outside of a window to detect the conversation inside, though that higher tech and frequencies means the system does not need to be tuned to a resonant frequency.
The NY author convinced me about the Earth time, and you got me back. You are right, a change like this would create other problems, as you cited.
I wish this was about day light savings and the random changing of the time zone. I can live with the different time zones and I think they are even kind of nice, but day light savings changing the current time, is terrible. You could argue it had cost real money (think azure going offline) and think of all the countless other hours people have spent dealing with the change.
> eschewing AM/PM in favor of a 24-hour clock

Even if we keep AM/PM, we should make it make sense. It should switch when the numbers roll over. Having 11am be followed by 12pm is nonsensical. The fix for this, as any programmer will tell you, is to recognize that 12 is really 0...we've got an off-by-one bug. Midnight should be 0am and noon should be 0pm.
There are a few proposals to move to a more standardized month, one being the International Fixed Calendar which contains 13 months of 28 days each, and one "year day" at the end of the year which can function as a public holiday.

I think it's brilliant. Will never happen.

What's going on with the IC placement[1]? I'm not at all familiar with board layout/design, but it looks like they've wasted a fair amount of space by putting the CPU and (what I'm guessing are) memory chips at those odd angles.

Unlike most of the imperial system, farenheit, etc, Am/pm seems to actually make some sense with analog clocks/watches. In places where you primarily use 24 hour time I guess you're always just translating from the clock in your head?
Even on absolute levels, India's pollution is a fraction of US. US also still gets 60% electricity from fossil fuels. It is time US fixes their science and education when a major political candidate and half of their population are climate change deniers. Oh, and they are the most polluting in the world, even in per capita numbers.

PM2.5 and PM10 corruption are dangerous only for people in the region and are not responsible for global warming, which affects everyone. In essence, India is killing its own people and US is killing everyone.
I got curious and read through these "less than n-hundred words" pieces you linked, and to me, they appeared very well executed. I cannot comment on the factual correctness of domestic American politics as I'm looking at this from Europe, but at least the summary of the Turkey coup is very much on the spot.

A single humanbeing cannot possibly digest long articles on every newsworthy topic. Therefore the short form is an important staple of news coverage. Of course you will be left with a "rather shallow understanding of extremely complex issues", but the point is that you are made aware that the issue exists at all.
Yes, they do. I was at the University of Florida for the 2008 election. The Democratic Party arranged for shuttle transportation from campus to early voting locations.

> If you're scrubbing the controller on the Touch Bar, you see the result on the screen, don't you?

What if you touch the wrong part of the bar and accidentally do something else? I personally have trouble believing that I'd be able to consistently touch the right part of the bar without looking every time without there being an actual physical divide between the sections even if I did consistently remember the layout and functionality for every app I used. I think peripheral vision would help here, although that goes out the window if you're hooked up to a monitor and still using the built-in keyboard.
Nitpick: emigrating means moving away for good, and relatively few people from developed countries emigrate in that sense. Perhaps you mean living abroad for study or work, being an expat or something similar.

I think there are 2 big reasons why you won't find many Japanese expats in Europe. One is the real or perceived language barrier. The level of English education in Japan is pretty low, and even people who speak passable English tend to be not confident about it.

The other reason is outlined in the article. Going abroad for college isn't prized as it is in (say) China. You're deviating from the path that society expects you to follow. You might even get strange ideas about life/work balance. Going abroad for a "skip year" sounds even worse.
> Another thing to note is that the overall pollution per capita in India or China is far less than any of the western nations.

This isn't true, not for the type of pollution relevant to this discussion anyway (particulates suspended in air). A single two stroke moped releases 10-1000X the amount of air pollution per kilometer as a modern car with a catalytic converter, despite the latter being much larger. India is full of such mopeds. Here's a study about them: http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms4749

The figure you cited, that citizens of developed nations pollute more than citizens of developing nation , is specifically a statistic about carbon dioxide emissions. Most other kinds of pollution are worse per capita in developing industrial nations owing to less strict emissions controls.

I wondered that too. But turning them might make shorter data lines, which incur less capacitance and less crosstalk. They also might have avoided a bunch of 90-degree elbows.
I have been involved in open source and non-commercial, volunteer driven projects for at least a decade. It's true that it's not right to demand volunteers who spend their time on the projects to answer questions. However, in this case, having read the mailing list thread and even the parent post to which you replied, I don't believe anyone is _demanding_ anything from the project owner.

People who are passionate about a project, as a user or contributor, do tend to ask what the status/roadmap of a project is. At least in open source projects I contribute to, that's not considered as demanding something from the project leaders, just because no one has paid for the project.

IMO, there are times where it's valid to state that no one has paid for the project so aren't entitled to anything, but I don't think this case is a valid one. I've seen this statement being used many times with open source projects and such project usually tend to lose sight that users are a central part of open source projects.
According to the website, FindBugs was partially funded by a couple of NSF grants. So US taxpayers did indirectly pay for his services.
It almost certainly saves space as the odd placement would be to optimize signal routing. You need a fair amount of space around a BGA to fan out all the signals, and at $20 they certainly have tried to do this with the minimum number of PCB layers possible which makes the routing problem much harder.

That being said it does look really strange.
A shiver actually ran up my spine...
> Even on absolute levels, India's pollution is a fraction of US.

I don't think this is true for particulate pollution. You may only be talking about carbon dioxide.

Also, "Somewhere else is worse" isn't a good defense, especially when it may not even be true; it's just deflection. India has a real problem here with air pollution, and pointing fingers at other nations won't fix it.
Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I noticed that the hard way. I now moved off JavaScript and went back to classic C++ game programming. I like it much more at this lower level with fine-grained control.

Fact check. Total US CO2 emissions as of 2014 was 5.3 million, India's was 2.3 million. That's not a huge difference. Also, China produces twice the amount of CO2 as the US [see 1]. India has 700M people who use cow dung as their source of fire. Once India progresses in terms of fuels they will overtake the US and potentially China.

"Verbally, speaking with USians, 15.00 is always pronounced "3pm"."

It's like that everywhere in Europe. Nobody says 'see you at fifteen'. 24 hour clock is merely for writing things down. I mean it would already be an improvement if the US would catch up with that, just saying that a 24 hour clock isn't said out loud as such. (not disagreeing or anything with you I guess, just adding some information).
In my lifetime I have learned that the only prediction I can believe regarding peak oil is that there will always be another prediction about peak oil. I'm not saying it's not gonna happen (or hasn't), just that it's been said so many times before.

Or look at a waitress in a restaurant. The math will be similar. A service job can't pay you a 6 fig salary outside of a few niche roles. That is why the "it's ok, we can all get service jobs" is a lie. That's a pretty crappy life.
I kind of have trouble imagining needing to use touch controls for a full thirty seconds for them to be useful. I don't even think I keep my hand on my mouse/trackpad for anywhere close to that amount of continuous time

Because there are only 12 major divisions on a clock. An analog clock, that is. It reads the same at 3am and 3pm. So from that pov it only makes sense to call it the same.
Ok, my assumptions where maybe not fully right but legally this gives you no protection. They don't know the photographers personally and everybody can upload to unsplash. And saying "hey, the image was on unsplash so it's free" is something different than saying "here is the bill I paid the image broker/agency for using that image royalty free". Be careful is the only thing I wanted to say. If you want to be 100% on the safe side you make your photos or you know the photographer. Image brokers base their business on trust that copyright is not violated. And unsplash: be careful.
