very cool and concise proof. but minor soapbox rant: practically every other proof I've read while casually studying number theory and group theory (I didn't make it very far, especially for GT) seems to use the word "clear". While the proof is supposed to be the nuts and bolts holding together this important, indisputable logic, they gloss over how "clearly" some supporting element is (without proving it). It was irritating to me because it defies the spirit of proving something.

Even in this proof, the author says "clearly" the right hand side is between 0-1. That's not automatically clear to me. It seems to be true, but at a glance, I can't automatically be sure that the statement is always true for all values.

It got really bad in the group theory book, because the "clear" sub-proofs were very primitive concepts, important things (sorry I can't recall an example) but that we normally take for granted. So when I saw them gloss over it with "clearly" I always felt suspect, like they were hand-waving.

It is clear that the left hand side has to be zero, however I do not see a straightforward way to prove that without using the contradiction itself and he does not need it to be zero to choose that there is a contradiction, so the claim the left side is an integer sidesteps an entirely optional technical difficulty.

[Edit:] The argument I had in mind is bad, my point is that the value of the left hand side does not matter for the proof, so it is not calculated. (I leave the comment up for context of the answers below.)

> Here is my conclusion: As long as your layout is a reasonably useable layout (which all of the above are), it doesn't matter. If your speed increases, it has nothing to do with the layout. It is because by switching your layout, you are forcing your brain to re-train, and in the process are eliminating bad habits, and increasing your focus on speed and accuracy.

I think anyone with a bit of common sense will conclude the same thing. Because every time you switch you are specifically focusing on speed and accuracy improvements, but even if you never switched layouts and put in the same amount of time training your typing skills, you would have seen improvements over your baseline. Maybe not as much as when switching layouts, however.

These issues are also not common. I don't have the hard numbers about how many people train their typing skills specifically, but my suspicion is that it is a astonishingly small fraction of people who use computers. The people who go so far as to switch layouts in pursuit of typing skill specifically are likely an even smaller subset.

I really didn't enjoy the clean coder. There was a strong feeling of "Management is trying to screw you over, this is how to protect yourself from them". If your really working in that environment, you should probably just leave rather than having to resort to tricks and techniques to manage management. There seemed to be some other silly advice (I.E. I used to listen to music and code until 4AM and then not remember what I wrote. Clearly the music was to blame.)

Obviously this vision is compelling. I'm confused by the decision of their prototype car to not have manual control overrides (e.g steering wheel or something similar). Air travel has been revolutionized with autopilot, but there are clear overrides for safety in case systems crash. I don't think we need to be wed to the pedal + wheel paradigm - but having a manual override option seems critical to safety.

Where did the author get those fallacies to refute? They're more like straw men.

There is no infrastructure panacea for crappy software engineering practices or bad unscalable designs.

We've been running microservices in production for years. It is more difficult to partition behavior into little chunks than to make a monolithic app. It can be slower if you don't handle inter-service RPC properly, and as your servers evolve, you have to stay on top of merging or splitting services as needed to maintain clean internal RPC's. It's a whole lot of work actually.

Why do it? Because there are also benefits. In a large system, microservices which are tested at the RPC boundary can be deployed independently of each other, which is HUGE. If you have a bunch of people building a monolithic app, you can only rev it as fast as the slowest of your teams can build and qualify it - this has been the biggest win for us! It's easier to test these things, because you can mock at RPC boundaries, versus mocking code, which is a more realistic scenario which helps you find issues like inter-RPC auth problems, which you wouldn't find in code-mocked unit tests.

I think of it this way - it's a whole lot of extra work which you have to do, which buys you flexibility in deployment and testing. That's a big deal.

Regardless, I think that the missing refactoring capabilities of code editors are only a symptom of missing command line tools for refactoring. Hell, very few languages have good open source tools for linting and static analysis which is more or less a required building block for good refactoring tools.
First, I've never understood the obsession with the "native feel". I guess it just irks some people in a basic way that I can't relate to at all.

However, the major cross-platform toolkits of wxWidgets, Qt, and GTK+ have run long projects to allow for native interface components on the platforms they support. This is usually something that can be configured at compile time.

VLC is wxWidgets and it offers a consistent user experience across platforms. Chromium is GTK+ and it does so as well. I'm not sure what's trendy in the UX snob circles these days so I don't know if they qualify as "amazing UX" or not, but they're two widely-used, major projects that incorporate standard cross-platform desktop toolkits.

Personally, I've always been partial to Qt, though I can't think of something off the top of my head that uses Qt and has widespread usage across platforms (Qt of course powers the entire KDE suite, but that usually doesn't cross over to Mac or Windows users, and Amarok's glory days are long gone). I guess Clementine uses Qt, and it may be widely used. I used it on both Win and Linux and the UX is identical.

"That means we don’t have to rely on GPS technology, or a single point of data such as lane markings, to navigate the streets."

GPS accuracy is terrible, and I can only imagine that lane markings (where they even exist) are only slightly better. Even Tesla uses knowledge from other cars that drove through an area to refine its internal map.
A quite ride at speed only really means it's a luxury car. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, et. al have had plenty of experience making cars that can go fast, and they also make luxury cars.

In any passenger car, getting in a wreck at 100 km/h or above is more than likely a fatal event. "5 Star" safety ratings and the EU equivalent are only for 30~55 km/h crashes. Granted, even highway crashes involve some braking before impact, but the faster you go the more difficult it is to slow down enough to a 'safe' speed before impact.

Besides, the sensors on cars are more than capable of driving at 150 KM/H. While they cannot "see" as far as a human, they require much less time to process what they do see.

The editing capabilities just feel natural I always feel like I'm programming and not just 'thinking' I believe it just comes fluently from practice and motivation for learning it.

I love this idea, and look forward to trying it when I have a little more disposable time to learn something new. I just want to point out one thing: While it is admirable that this project sticks to just text editing, our text editors often form a part of a system. This includes IDEs, shells and interpreters, and the OS itself. One of the missing "modes" of vim is a yield-to-something-other-than-editor mode. Because we don't have this, any time I use vim or a vim compatibility layer, I end up having to remap keys from their defaults to something that I have trouble remembering and is completely different from the docs. I hate remapping keys. Give us a mode that allows us to keep the rest of our ecosystem intact.

I go back and forth on the "illness" thing. I don't have a better term for it: In a way, it is the best term, despite folks using it as a label and way out.

"My condition may have its downsides, but it has its upsides that make me perform better than others."

This is often true and a normal feeling, from what I've read - which is why I think the best course of treatment is sometimes none at all outside of working to strengthen the positives and minimize the negatives. It really just depends on the flavor of the two and your lifestyle.

Sidenote: I hope you were able to keep some of the upsides even if you got treatment - or at least are otherwise happy.
Tesla has lane-assist, adaptive cruise control and a few other goodies. Many auto manufacturers have those things. You still have to manually follow GPS directions.

Google/Waymo is actually piloting a car from origin to destination without a steering wheel or pedals. That's a much more difficult challenge.

Put another way, no blind person is going to sit behind the wheel of a Tesla and tell the car to take him/her to the supermarket. Google's car actually does this, on real roads, today... and that's amazing.
Google's commitment to SDCs has always seemed half hearted so I wonder if this indicates that they are getting more serious about it. Moonshots at X have been getting the axe, the SDC stuff seems to be the only obviously viable one right now.

To the surprise of many folks (myself included) it has turned out that SDC tech is probably for existing manufacturers to develop versus software guys learning how to build cars without the massive supply chains needed to assemble 4000lb widgets. Before anyone points to Tesla, try getting inside a $140k Tesla and then a $140k Mercedes and it will be obvious what advantages there are to having manufacturing experience stretching decades.
Tesla models equipped with Autopilot enhancements do in fact have some form of emergency braking (automatic emergency breaking) to avoid rear-end collisions and primitive auto-steer.
They should make data publicly available and available for replication anyway. That goes for all data collected on NSF, NIH, and other government funding sources.
You aren't simplifying, you're misrepresenting. A company wants to invest in projects with an expected return exceeding it's cost of capital for the project. It doesn't matter if you lower your overall rate of return.

To give a concrete example, imagine I have a hotel in New York generating profits of $50 mn/year. If it required an investment of $100 mn to build hotels, making another one in Atlanta that generates profits of $10 mn per year would still be sensible if these exceed the financing costs. My return on (book) assets would fall from 50% - 30% but my profits would rise from $45-50 mn.

Tax, risk and use of management time can complicate the issue but your point isn't first-order correct...

I think you should have a good concept/idea how to reach your audience without to rely on the app stores.

When I started that wasn't required. You just released your game and users are coming in for free. So I decided to do lots of small apps - but in the long run it would have been wiser to do apps that engage the users for a long time and constantly update with new content to keep those users engaged.

For myself I'm currently moving to bigger projects and also release for consoles and PC/Steam. But it's very risky for a small developer - because if you develop serveral months or years and the game flops you're basically out of business.
Its hard to get simpler or cheaper than a pair of $60 Nanobeams that will give you 400+ mbit of performance and the integrated 16dBi antennas will help reduce interference from other devices. Ubiquiti also has a Litebeam with a 23dBi antenna that's even cheaper - $49... I don't have any experience with those, but I assume they would work just as well (but proper aiming would be a little more critical with the higher gain antenna)

If your existing routers live in the closets, the Nanobeams can too, you just need to aim them at each other.
Often happens. When we do moderation things we try to privilege the earliest submission of a story but it isn't always possible.

We'll eventually get around to working on a more sophisticated way of handling duplicate submissions, but the simplicity of the current approach (i.e. allow a few reposts if a story hasn't had significant attention yet) has much to commend it.
Given that Google doesn't have a car you can buy I think the jury is still very much out on who is ahead and behind here.
