I can directly see which lines have changed in VS Code on the left site of a file.

> VS also has multi-cursor support, if we are thinking of the same thing... editing more than one line simultaneously?

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

> Besides, these two features you mention seem hardly to be of deciding factor, you would think something like code analysis, profiling, and better debugging (memory window, etc) would be of more importance.

Profiling isn't something I do every day, but code editing is. Also you can use both of them at the same time, only falling back to VS for these features.

Furthermore keep in mind, that VS is only free for commercial use under some circumstances (under 200 employees IIRC).
I'm mystified by how many major sites have terrible usability issues on mobile devices that are used widely. (older iDevices cheap-mid level Android phones).

Are the proprietors of these sites, which live and die on their traffic, actually unaware of how bad the experience is?

Or are the proprietors oblivious because they always have the latest iPhone or Galaxy? Are the developers oblivious too, or are they keeping their bosses in the dark?

Or are the business requirements for the sight so absolutely needed, and it is simply hard to make it work?

Anyone able to venture a perspective on this?

while there are some studies that do not put marijuana smoking as high on the danger list [1] I am really curious that as legalization increases what will we see in the future. Then of course there is the loosely regulated area of vaping and who knows what is in some of those fluids. For the most part I am quite sure they have to be safer than smoking but I would love some hard regulation.

According to w-pedia, Chomsky wrongly dismissed the eye witnesses as an anti communist propaganda conspiracy...

And evaluated as more trustworthy the supporters of dogma/regimes that already before the "Killing Fields" had a history of mass murderers.

If you dismiss whatever you want as a conspiracy, you can motivate any conclusion. (Here: "Country X used propaganda in a war, I'll assume they do exactly the same amount of propaganda when not in a war.")

Is there anything like a chop gun for conductive fibers? I know it wouldn't make some perfect faraday shield but a conductive epoxy like material and some ultra fine metal fibers sound like that should be decent at blocking RF and I think it would be reasonable enough to make a special chop gun for it. It would make application a ton cheaper, a lot faster, and it should still be reasonably effective.
Not paying a few contractors that didn't uphold their end of the bargain is not quite the same as committing treason, actively participating and indulging in the child sex slave trade, selling billions of dollars of weapons to middle eastern terrorists, signing 20% of our Uranium away to Russia, engaging in horrific Satanic rituals, and completely subverting the world's greatest superpower, from the highest echelons of the state department to this meek forum owned by humble Bilderberger pawns, to cover it all up.

But ok. Donald Drumpf is an evil racist sexist white male because John Oliver told me so.

This is good. SQL templates are usually much faster for database queries than using ORMs.
The problem is that OpenSSL's API itself is quite complicated and probably not in an entirely necessary way. As but one concrete example, there's almost no particularly satisfying way to handle the "error queue" in a world with imperfect software. I also recently found how how insanely impractical it is in practice to perform one's own certificate validation (e.g. so I could interpret the CN field) if a TLS connection is abstracted even a tiny bit (e.g. in a database driver).

Little doubt that someone would find it useful, but it is An Undertaking, to preserve something which is not that desirable.
I think it's very typical that people keep bitching about everything related to Apple, and then try to recreate the software.

Somehow because something is opensource or free, it is instantly better.

It was the same with KDE back in the days.
Sure, that is just a matter of taste. But no matter which window manager you choose, running Linux, you are actually released from the Apple prison (technical and mental prison).

Go to a regular class, try different classes. If you have the luck to live near a place where there are experienced meditators (personally, I find that monastics are waaay more skilled than "normal" people) that is the very very best. For me, meditation can be hard work but it totally pays off. It's a skill you develop just like any other skill, and proper guidance makes a world of difference.

As for the esoteric literature, there is a wide spectrum of quality, and some things are better understood after you practice for a while - then it all makes sense. It's like trying to read code when you don't know nothing about programming yet. It's esoteric. Hell even today some code is esoteric :)

We have reliable 4G in every big city in Romania. I live in Bucharest and have 7 GB of included 4G bandwidth, along with unlimited calls, SMS and included minutes and bandwidth in roaming, for only 18 EUR per month. And if you're willing to hunt for time-limited PrePay offers, there are offers right now for 10 GB of bandwidth for 6 EUR per month or something. And yes, it works very well - it actually works better than the broadband you can find in other countries.

Of course, out of the European countries, our Internet is in the Top 5 at least, if not dare I say it, the best I've seen.

So don't make the mistake to think that progress ends at the borders of San Francisco ;-)

> “We have entered a new era,” said Poppy Kakaidi, a lawyer. “Whereas parents wanted to leave their children with a roof over their heads, now the children themselves say, ‘I don’t want this burden.’” She has several clients who have turned down inheritances, mostly to avoid the deceased’s debts.

So, it's not property that is debt. Inheritance from parents comes tied with debts. Young people are walking away from debts, not property. The article title is sensationalized.

What the author was smoking? 20 a day of what? Cigarettes? These things have nothing to do with tobacco. Cigarettes are purely synthetical things. The real research could compare say, avid snus user with cigars smoker with pipe smoker with cigarettes smoker with marijuana smoker, with non smoker exposed to industrial work, with non-smoker exposed to work in civil construction, and so on. Poor isolation of factors and lack of statistics are signs of fake research.
Hey, it's the VoCore again. I've got one of the first ones... somewhere. It comes exactly as it looks in the photo and was unfortunately far too small for me to solder the headers on to.
You can always go for vaporizers. Are vaporizers actually ever used on tobaco? (i think they're sold "for tobaco use only" like bongs?)
I've once read somewhere that they polled heroin addicts, asking them what they'd rather do first time they wake up in the morning - shoot heroin or smoke a cigarette.

Of course the vast majority said they'd smoke a cigarette.

I've never been a heroin addict, but I've been a tobacco smoker for many years and I can confirm that smoking a cig was definitely the most important thing I had to do in the morning.

Also if I had to spend my last money on food or a pack of cigarettes, obviously and without further consideration, I would choose the cigarettes.

So yeah, pretty addictive.
Nice.

These are reasoned, common sense measures, most of which I have seen in one form or another in the coding guidelines of the companies I have worked for as an embedded SW engineer.

Some of them are easy to enforce (no dynamic memory allocation, no recursion), other less so (using asserts, limit function size).

The worst is adding your rules-compliant code to messy and bloated legacy code :)
As much as I love running Arch on my school laptop, I'd never run it on a laptop I would use for making money. I'd probably be using something like Fedora, a stable distro that doesn't break whenever I update en masse. I usually don't have too many huge bombs go off in my face but the most recent round of updates I applied totally killed my sound and some NetworkManager features. Annoying, not totally disasterous, but I've had some killer bugs in the past that have made me waste time on fixing issues when I should have been studying.

If I'm getting paid, I'm not spending the time on fixing all the small issues that pop up with Arch. I love it otherwise. Sometimes it's fun to blow a few hours on a weekend fixing some random bug that has only ever happened to you. Sometime's its not fun and just really inconvenient. I always keep a backup Windows partition just in case something bad happens and I really need to use a computer for a bit or if I just need to run some random Window's only app.

I smashed my Nexus 6P's screen and have been using a friend's old iPhone 4s in the meantime as my old Androids were either damaged or totally dead beyond recharging. Disregarding the sluggishness of the phone (it is 5 years old...), there are so many things that even a stock android rom will allow me to customize that iOS doesn't even think about.

I just cracked open my old Droid Razr to jumpstart the battery so I could get back to android until my replacement 6P comes.
There's an option to open the website in external browser, chrome tab or internal browser. Not only in Reddit Sync (which is great), but in every other Reddit app as well.

Btw, opening the website in the Chrome tab is basically the same (session state, cookies are same) as opening it in Chrome, it's just way faster - specially on RAM challenged devices.
There's not much point posting an article here, if it's behind a paid wall ...
> Similar for laptops. Replacing batteries, upgrading ram, and upgrading storage are very common.

Don't forget cleaning! Until we get to the point where all components are passively cooled in a sealed container, cleaning a laptop's CPU fan is simply one of those maintenance tasks that will keep a laptop running quiet and cool for years.

And yeah, getting a a bit of extra RAM or the next generation of fast hard disk is a great and cheap way to give a performance boost to an ageing laptop.
This is cool, but the $4 version isn't comparable with the Raspberry Pi.

The version with connectors and a case costs $39. The Raspberry Pi 3 with connectors and a case is sold for $35 at the first US retailer I found.
It sounds like that was the limit they could fit in the available space given the technology (earlier versions had fewer columns, the "upgrade" to 80 was based on using new narrower holes) - the width was set by wanting to match existing infrastructure for money.
A nuclear weapon is a fairly precise instrument. Chances are it breaks apart on impact with water. At that points its really just a hot piece of metal sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Not great but not really a worry.

Though on the other hand farmers keep finding old shells from WW1 and WW2 all over Europe. But a artillery shells probably lives a harder life and are made more robustly

Are you talking about things like EitherT? IMO here isn't so much of a difference to exception handling. Both approaches make it hard to see at a glance where most code could fail, and you can (but are not encouraged to) transform errors explicitly.

Add Java's checked exceptions, now the practical differences are quite subtle. Of course it's nice to be able to be able to do transformations with higher level functions.
I think it's unfortunate you're being downvoted, but here's the thing: you go to the Apple store, buy a laptop, bring it home and plug it in and it works beautifully from day one. That's Apple's value proposition. (Subtract "beautifully" for Microsoft's.)

Your plan means I'm signing up for a period of pain of unknown duration. It could be four hours or two weeks. And for the next three years I might have a laptop that doesn't sleep properly when I close the lid, or that can't talk to the printer at the office but there's a forum thread somewhere where somebody thinks they solved it.

One of the characteristics of any "pro" market is that these are people who simply aren't going to waste their time messing around with something when there's an alternative that just works and lets them go back to doing whatever it is they do that earns money.

On the other hand, you don't always want all the connectors and you have to spend $30. Being able to spend only $4 for the bare minimum is a nice option to have.
On the two MBP that are currently in my home, I have:

* Changed the RAM (on both)
* Changed the battery (both)
* Switched a HDD to a SSD
* Replaced the touchpad that died
* Had to do some work on the screen that is slowly dying out

I'm quite happy to do that on computers that are between 6 and 9 years old, it means I can get the most out of them, without paying for a new one each time I need just a little bit more.

I would be completely unable to do that with a newer MBP.
If you're using a t2 instance for a heavily used production database that has a relatively steady amount of traffic, then you obviously don't understand the use case for it.

There are plenty of production workloads that are burst based in nature, and for those, t2's make plenty of sense. The micro is also hardly the only instance in the family - if you go to the opposite end, the t2.large has a baseline of 60%.

They also are not interrupted or paused, so I don't know where you're getting that. If you run out of credits your performance is throttled to baseline gradually over 15 minutes.

t2s are fine for production if you understand their strengths - workloads with low levels of constant usage and periodic bursts of higher resource utilization.

Man. Why not just accept folks who might not yet be so good and train him/her. Of course determine if he/she is genuinely willing to learn. Looking at hobby projects should be an indicator that he/she is passionate on programming.

But of course, capitalism compels a company to hire only the best worker to get the most out of the usurped-capital.

What I wanna point out is. It would be great if it was common for companies to help out less skilled programmers. Helping others is more important than making profit.

The next time somebody asks me for help. I'll do my best use any surplus value out of the meager salary I get working here in a third world country.
Could you elaborate?

Assuming that scary.MightNotWork() is some kind of ancillary function that is non-essential, why would I want to let it impact the main program. The example that comes to mind would be logging. If I have set up my own "Write logs into network share" call, I'd never ever expect it to throw errors that took down the app. Share down? Don't care. logfile locked/corrupt. Don't care. Try and log, if you can't, fail silently without impacting the main purpose of the application/service/whatever.
Just gotta figure out how to increase the efficacy. :)

Not really. Gerard Holzmann is in charge of software at NASA/JPL. Each rule comes from experience with a mission loss that would have been prevented if people had implemented that rule. They also help static analysers become more accurate.

These rules are specific to ultra-reliable embedded software, flight software or software for life-critical equipment. They are not really relevant for most normal programming.
If updates in Arch frequently "destroy" some features, you could do this: have two partitions, each with Arch on it and bootable from the boot manager. The first is minimal (rescue system) and the second is the one you use. Then before you make an update, boot into the rescue Arch, backup the second Arch partition's data, try the update and see how it goes ;)

I wanted to say: And Google did not removed it. But actually it is also gone in Google extension store. Google also seriously needs to think about security in their Chrome extension store. I've seen more than once ads injected by extensions by the auto update (no real security there). Maybe I've been also tracked in the past. Google needs to actively monitor all extensions for ad injection and tracking code (where are their AI experts on that?) and also it should react faster to reports. In the past, weeks and months go by before a report has consequences for a extension. So the discovery of WOT is only thanks to German reporters.... but it was longer known that WOT tracks you.
