That is literally the opposite of what has happened historically and is exactly why we have e.g. civil rights laws. In a fantasy land where every tiny decision any business makes which is non profit maximizing results in the destruction of that business, sure. We won't have weekends, benefits, a cordial employer/employee relationship, a living wage for anyone, or discrimination. What a wonderful capitalist paradise. I hope you don't live in a part of the world where racism is culturally common and businesses that serve all races are discriminated AGAINST by the majority culture, because those businesses would cease to exist as well.

Fortunately for all of us, the market is just not that efficient. Nobody is ever punished by the market for discrimination, only by laws.
No need to make such a big deal out of doing it or getting around to doing it. As someone else recommended take the free Headspace 10 day course or search Jon Kabat-Zinn, he has some videos where he teaches mindfulness in front of an audience.

If you make it too big a "thing" both "it" and you will fail and not achieve whatever you have set your mind on it achieving.
Considering in 4-5 years time, the current MacBook Pro design will get an 8 Core 7nm Icelake, double or triple the speed of current GPU, 32-64GB Maxed memory, Over Gigabit 802.11ax wireless speed. And Even Faster SSD.
Are every Pro's need for computational power inline
with Moore's Law?
It may not fit every Pro's need today. But it will in a year or two later. Those who uses VM are especially vocal about lack of 32GB memory, but how many % of Pro are in this camp?

I see Macbook and the Macbook Pro very forward thinking. It was similar to MacBook Air when it first released. It was slow, expensive ultrabook. Everyone were wondering why would you WANT a ultrabook.
> I can directly see which lines have changed in VS Code on the left site of a file.

VS has this too. Except, by default, it is on the right side of the editor. Uncommitted is in yellow. The white "marker" or hyphen, moves with the line number your cursor is on. Just like in VS Code.

You can also see commits on each function and class, by author and date.

You can right click each commit and view details for that commit, or send an email to the author.

> You can add multiple cursors by Alt + Left mouse button in VS Code. This allows to even modify multiple words in one line simultaneously.

In VS you can hold alt + shift and use arrow keys to select the number of lines you want to edit simultaneously, but looks to not be possible to place several cursors on a single line.

Still, VS has a lot more features going for it that are very powerful. And besides, most people who argue a text editor vs IDE and place importance on text editing speed, forget that it is about quality code, not how fast you wrote that code.

The few lines of code the average developer writes a day makes text editing speed of very little importance.
That sounds like you would need to do a whole lot of work before you could start writing code that is useful to the business that hires you. If your first job out of uni is working at a company that has built a site in ruby on rails, you shouldn't refuse to handle tickets until you've reproduced rails. Also, if you want to learn backend web development, it is far easier to first work through the djangogirls tutorial and learn how django works and then build a stripped-down version of it.

I would replace it with "Don't add a new framework or library unless you can get a clear mental model of it"
Presumably they were strongly advised to use a second method of birth control.
Man, and I though Snow Crash's portrayal of the feds was wildly exaggerated.

Guess it was significantly less exaggerated that I thought.
Because I've no expectation for the adverts to go away. Slightly fewer adverts and "that one isn't an advert its a promoted link" lies don't cut it.

(also: because they're shady as hell popunder scam ads, so this is by definition a shady actor, and shady actors don't get my financials)

And for all the talk of innovation, they keep putting terrible adverts up. Seriously, porn industry, mistargeted kinks are a turn-off that drives customers away, surely?

I wonder if there were studies that analyzed the effect of smoking non-industrialized cigarettes. I smoke 2-4 cigarettes per day and make my own cigarettes from tobacco leaves that I dry/shred myself. The leaves in turn come from a few organically grown plants.
GitHub UI not working properly
I feel like you missed the point of what I wrote. Yes, there are things people could do where if the site owner is malicious they could get screwed. That is generally what happens when you install software from untrustworthy sources.

> > However, the point is that if you can't trust the publisher it doesn't make any difference what the installation procedure is.

> That's not correct. A MitM attack is a risk even if the publisher is trustworthy.

You're contradicting something that I didn't write.
Ah, that's too bad :( CL is very very underrated as a language.

A wonderfully aromatic plant …
Have you used TextMate 2? Possibly the editor with the best integration UI-wise, also, easily the most performant.
What's interesting is how the story completely failed to make the news in the English-speaking net for several days. The story broke on Tuesday (CET), outside Germany it was only picked up by ghacks until now...
Thank you for this. GoPros have been challenging and we're looking for alternatives for the next camera rig we build. One nice thing about GoPro cameras that I think I would miss with these is their built in WiFi. It's perfect for ad-hoc field laptop scenarios.
It's not the procedure itself that is sometimes painful, it's the recovery. When I had it done more than 20 years ago, I was fine with both, but the doctor proscribed me heavy duty painkillers in case the pain got bad.

He said he didn't use to, but then he had a vasectomy himself.
If you don't have the resources you need to complete a project, don't be afraid to speak up. If the documentation for a project is in another language, it is far cheaper for the company to pay for professional translation than for the project to putter along and fail as you struggle with google translate.

Similarly, if the end-goal of a project is not clear, don't be afraid to stop things and ask.

Judge new tools by the quality of documentation and how possible it is for you to get a clear mental model.

In interviews, always as what their onboarding process is.

If someone asks for a time estimate and you don't know the answer, don't let them pressure you into lying. Hold your ground and say you don't know.
Damn you got so offended! I'm sorry.

Anyway, haven't we/they studied them ? That's what's missing ?

I refer to cloning, cause you can't take `normies` and tell them what to do and they'll become a science-guy. Cause they don't want to, don't enjoy the process, don't have the mental capacity (pick any of them or all of them).

So you need good genes (be able to learn, wanting/enjoying to learn), good enough life (don't get born in war-torn country), a good program on how to do them (what you say), a little guidance/mentoring.
The haptic touch pad is probably the worst part in my honest opinion. It just feels wrong, even after a year of using it.
I started with Lucky Strike, then smoked Marlboro Lights for about 18 years, then the last two years or so I smoked organic rolling tobacco - Cross Road.

I've stopped smoking 18 months ago, but even after 1.5 years, I still get the urge to smoke almost every day.
The acoustic attenuation of aluminum is good, but it would serve minimal use as a hat. If used as a sack instead of a hat, both sonic and micro waves might be reduced, which is probably better than wearing such stiff apparel.
At its core NLP is basically little more than a notational system for mental processes which is a pretty hard thing to discredit scientifically.

It's true that that most of the NLP community revolves around cargo culting a few of these processes though (which most likely indeed aren't scientifically valid.)

Saying that that discredits NLP as a whole is roughly equivalent to saying a programming language is inherently bad because a lot of shitty software has been written in it though.
in that case they wouldn't really test whether it works or not..
Personally, I think of a startup as a relatively young business pursuing an innovative product or business model.

I agree that "venture-backed startup" is a useful mental category. Pretending that it's the only category is what bugs me.
One month old order? Ha!

I've been waiting 5 months for my order to ship and despite confirming my order 4 or 5 times, it's still not shipped, despite repeated emails from them stating it would ship in July, then August, the September.

Utterly incompetent company from my perspective and anyone who orders from them should be aware that they're little different from a scamming company. I they do ever ship, I'll be utterly shocked - as far as I can tell, they've taken the money and run.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them go bust before shipping anything.

This sort of announcement where they say they'll ship new orders quickly before actually shipping the ones they can't be bothered to deliver - and can't be bothered to update people when their orders will ship adds insult to injury.

They've come across as I say to me totally and utterly incompetent. Buyer beware.

Why you should adopt a microservices architecture
The course mentioned by parent is definitely worth watching for anyone interested. Lot of valuable information both on neuro/psychology of meditation and Buddhism.

I wouldn't agree with the statement that medidtation requires profound changes in ones assumptions. One can start with just a simple instruction, eg. "don't think about the breath, but watch for sensations that constitute the experience of breathing" and, as they develop mindfulness, incporporate more and more conceptual knowledge about what Buddha called Right View while testing it in practice.

I guess you're right, though, that without right information you could possibly sit in your yoga pants and mudra (vide any stock photo with 'meditation' tag) and don't get anywhere for years.
During my time in LA I got the impression that most of these companies are situated in a location that makes it convenient for the executives/owners who mostly live in Santa Monica or along the coast and basically don't have to deal with the traffic (possibly with the exception of the PCH).
I agree, but with a little twist: the problem is not that the latter party doesn't know how and the former party has the answers, maybe it's that the former party doesn't know how either.

In this particular instance, the actual problem is notification. OP said he fixed the bug in his original code, and one of his downstreams should fix the bug too.

Fair enough.

But then things took a turn towards "you should do the work", "civic duty", and what not. To which OP replied he's not going to fix it in a code base he's not compensated for.

The actual problem in this scenario here isn't OP's willingness to donate his time, it's that the right person at the downstream needs to be notified (and in turn acknowledge the problem). And in the world of open source, this is a common issue which is impacted by multiple notification avenues, developer continuity, and general infosec policy.

But instead of any one of us creating an issue saying "Hey dudes, this was fixed in the upstream -- here's a copy-and-paste pointing to the fixed and respective vulnerable code", it's a pile-on with holier-than-thou mantras regarding why OP should do the free work of reading the source code, testing a fix, and creating a patch.
Haven't tried it unfortunately - back in 2005 when we looked at licensing, we came to the conclusion that we might as well do it ourselves. But having a proper open source solution would be better, easier to audit and better collaboration.
And by the way, he also suggests in his blog post that Ghostery and Adblock Plus might as well sell browser histories as WOT does. There might be even more.
"I Fought the Law" is a song written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets and popularized by a remake by the Bobby Fuller Four, which went on to become a top-ten hit for the band in 1966 and was also recorded by the Clash in 1979.
He's a professor of liberal studies, you could say that this sort of action is entirely within the remit of his profession.
Exactly. Tail recursion can always be rewritten as a loop. The code might be uglier but at least you have a better idea of how it's going to behave after compilation.
Or you're on Windows at the moment and wish to go back to macOS, but the new MB 12 style shit travel-free keyboards and the other hardware/ports choices now stop you.
They'd tell the Canadian EOD team at the very least. The boys on the pointy end of the stick need to know what they're potentially disposing of.
That is just electromagnetic interference.
I think most people wouldn't be very upset if the constant HD stream from a Mars rover is 5-15 minutes delayed.

The real issue is the cost, bandwidth and infrastructure in place to make that happen. Scientists would rather want to use bandwidth, power, launch mass and real-estate on the rovers for science instruments - orbiters around Mars which relays data must be upgraded to handle more bandwidth, the DSN on Earth that receives the data can't be dedicated fulltime to one data stream, etc.

(That said, the new laser communication systems NASA is experimenting is pretty awesome, and will greatly improve bandwidth for space missions)
I think you need very large quantities of whatever is in tobacco that makes you addicted to have physical dependency on it. (Is it nicotine?)

I smoke a pipe on weekends. I have no physical craving for tobacco during the week and sometimes I just don't want to even on the weekends. The most amount of cigarettes I had throughout my life was probably equal to one pack and I never inhaled it because I don't feel like choking on smoke.

The worst effect I get with nicotine is dizziness but never any physical dependency or withdrawal from its absence in my body.

I just wish they did more studies on the effects of occasional use of tobacco, via pipes and cigars to see the effect of what occasional smoking does to someone.
Playing Tennis twice a week made my life much better. I suggest everyone to try it if you suffer from stress, anxiety and lack of mental focus. That's also great to loose some weight and get in a better shape.
When I build my last pc ~3 years ago I spend a while picking out components and after it was assembled(an hour of work essentially) I only open it up maybe once or twice a year to clean the dust filters and any dust that maybe made it's way inside(not much since it's a high-end case). It's really 2-3 hours of hardware maintenance a year.

Software is a bit more involved, but since I picked out all the components with Linux in mind I've had no major problems. In fact if I screw something up I can reinstall the os and have it back to the state it's been in about an hour. Reinstalling Kubuntu takes 20 minutes, installing all the packages I need takes another 15m, fiddling with the settings another 10. I have my /home on a separate partition so I don't lose anything and even my Firefox session get's recovered.

Now, it took me a while to get my setup to that state. Finding a distro that works for me took take a few experiments, but I don't get what the big deal is? This is a tool that I'll probably use for years, why not invest a little bit of time up front to get it just right? Yeah, it's nice that you can buy something and have it "just work" but for me personally I've never used a single piece of software or hardware that didn't go through an initial period of flux as I've fiddled with the set-up until I made it just work for me.

That's the thing though, I don't fit the profile of a common user, and probably not that of a common tech professional either. I mean, I use a custom Dvorak-like layout and I moved all my modifier keys around to be more like a lisp-machine keyboard, the market never has and never will produce something that I can buy and have it "just work".

Oh, let's not forget the . files, I've been continuously refining them for close to a decade now, that doesn't happen on it's own, I have to fiddle with it, I have to accept temporary loss of productivity for the payoff of increased productivity later when I get used to a refined workflow. I have to make experiments with new tools, I have to play with the settings. My work absolutely involves fiddling with my tools, if I didn't I'd still be using notepad++ on windows and using time-stamped directories as version control. It's a long term investment in a personal workstation that absolutely adds value over time, just not immediately and sometimes you have to accept the waste of time and account for it, it's just part of the process. I've had good results so far and very little alternative since like I said, the consumer market absolutely doesn't account for my style of use :)

Business Owners and Customers Should Know the Prospects of Mobile Apps
Sorry but I found this to be very disappointing scarebait from Ars, who I expected to have higher standards. It doesn't explain how common this is yet the title makes it sound like it's super prevalent. (not to mention we're already being tracked in other ways that are worth worrying about more) It does a horrible job at explaining what's actually going on and why advertisers might use this instead of alternatives, in fact I still don't know. (something about every ad containing ultrasonic sounds and everyone making their app use the microphone to constantly listen for them—I get that it's a real thing but sounds way too contrived and complicated to be common) The title is also super clickbait and I wouldn't characterize it as the good type of FUD. The solution they propose is a proof-of-concept patch, so not an actual functioning solution (and their extension is supposed to block ultrasonic frequencies, but advertisers will just move to audible frequencies then and mask it as music). Even if they improved the title, the article itself is flawed and is predicated on making us scared of this, even having the gall to say "Now that you’re sufficiently concerned". C'mon Ars... I get wanting to point out troubling practices and increasing awareness, but at least do it in a less knee-jerk and more informative manner.
Erik Demaine is such a great guy, I met him at a conference once, where he gave an invited talk on self-assembling robots. Fascinating stuff, we had a very interesting discussion with him afterwards and his intricate knowledge of even the smallest details was quite impressive. If his talk is anything to go by, this lecture should be very worthwhile.
Yes, I definitely feel this is in the air. There's groundwork and momentum to iterate on large chunks of the computing stack, simplify and open up more of it again, and it could be driven in part by the needs of "pros" who are frustrated with the current environment, as well as new markets like IoT. Just think of these three projects and what they add up to:

* RISC-V

* Rust

* WebAssembly

The first, RISC-V, breaks with existing architectures. The spec is open, and public feedback is largely positive. Money has been committed to real implementations on silicon. There is common tooling already, and it's expected to grow more robust.

Rust sits in the middle, iterating on systems-level concerns with a much higher standard of compiler tech. Everyone praises its community and the responsiveness of the devs. It isn't the only player in the field for overturning C and C++, but it has a lot of the momentum.

And, of course, WebAssembly doesn't fix the Web, but it does return us to the idea of what Java was supposed to be, 20 years ago - a common layer for sandboxed application code. Of the three this one is probably the least established, but is also getting an amount of care and cooperation that is quite above average for Web technologies, and shows early signs of reaching adoption outside of the browser context. With such a powerful client runtime, both the existing Web and desktop paradigms become open to disruption, as is already in nascent form with the current wave of "desktop framework, browser engine inside" apps.

When you put together all three, you have a much more robust stack, something that you can really imagine the future of computing on. It has missing parts, but that might be where you and I come in.
Do you know what would be a great way to prevent this?

For anyone put off by the more esoteric stuff written on the topic, I'd recommend Sam Harris (as mentioned here already), Shinzen Young, but above all, Culadasa.
He's a professor of Neuroscience and _very_ accomplished meditator. He's written THE definite book on meditation that uses models of the mind originating from both neuroscience and most noble meditation traditions.

https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Illuminated-Complete-Meditation-...

It's suitable both for beginners and advanced practitioners as it describes the progress of the practice in 10 very clearly described stages.

For those that don't yet have enough motivation, I'd second the Headspace app created by a former Thibetan Buddhist monk. It's really well made and contains a number of different meditation techniques provided in a guided meditation format.

Still, I'd switch to the Culadasa book and unassisted practice as soon as you start grasping the benefits you're getting from meditation and your motivation increases.
sounded like "coil wine".

doesnt stop a phone app decoding it though. it was only when i moved the mouse. and came then went.

And i definately still have reasonable high frequency hearing. for example filing a complaint with Morisons in the UK for those high frequency speakers aimed at stoppping kids loitering. Don't know if they got rid of them or not because i stopped shopping there.
even if you could, so what?

Anyway, I'm curious what you think it might be evolutionary advantageous. On the face of it, if others have less kids, that would seem advantageous to your own kids.
So basically I should uninstall it, correct? Does anyone know of anything to replace it?
