The battery life indicator was reliably accurate. I miss it.
For those of you looking for a tl;dr version, here's a quote that gives you the general tone:

We live in a rabidly anti-elitist society that is also in slack-jawed, slavish thrall to elites, and it’s no joke to try to maintain homeostasis between “Look at me!” and “Who, me?”

I'm trying to remember who it was that once talked about judging a community by two things: its actual behavior, and what it holds up as ideal behavior. I think it's actually a good thing that society started to hold up as an ideal the idea of being humbled by success.

I found the superior, smug tone of the article annoying. Some attempt at sounding more humble would have produced a better article.

Cisco/AppDynamics: The Biggest M&A Multiple in Software History
Ask HN: Leave job right before app goes to production?
Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

Some background: A few months ago I was tossed into a dumpster fire of a project that has now grown to ~15 developers. Business dramatically added scope and was changing requirements and demanding devs work nights/weekends to accommodate. As a result I made the decision to leave.

I was set to leave right after the app went into production, however now the launch date for the app has been pushed back such that I will be leaving one week before it goes into production. I want to stay until it is complete and do not like the idea of leaving right before it goes to prod, however my new employer wants me to start ASAP and with my date having been pushed back one week I'm not sure they would be too keen on it being pushed back another week.

How would you feel if a fellow developer left in the circumstances described?
If you were a dev manager or hired this developer, how would you feel about them leaving in the circumstances described?

Given that flatten is surprisingly tricky to get right, it really should be built-in. The naive recursive variant will crash python if you nest lists beyond the stack limit, which is very no bueno. A list that's nested 10,000 layers deep is not especially hard to create or store in memory, and a flatten implementation should be able to handle it without crashing the interpreter.

In fact, it's not a bad little programming exercise: making a flatten that performs well and never crashes because of stack overflow.

NASA doesn't have a champion, if they do this person is not enough to spark the public interest. That takes it off the minds of the majority of Americans. Worse with regards to politicians supporting NASA doesn't really garner them many votes so they allocate money into areas that will.

I think a permanent base on the moon that suggests one day civilians will be able to go might work but it will be a hard sale

Surely, the problem is in defining what it's "one's own wealth". It's there where opinions are going to diverge.

More like 20 years, but Italy does not have the hard culture of "8 years and GTFO" that is so ingrained in the US. There are no term limits for Prime Ministers, election losers are not required to step down from party-leadership roles, and even the unofficial limits for President (which is mostly a ceremonial role) reelections, have recently been broken.

It is one of the great achievements of US democracy, although one has to question how much meaningful change can realistically be achieved in a massive country with little more than 7 years available (because re-election campaigns and lame-duck status in practice will consume a full year). For all the drama that they generate and the feeling of electoral power, strict term limits are a very conservative measure. On the other hand, you're guaranteed Trump will be gone by January 2025 at worst.
I don't understand the claim that Akka actors are both impure and non-deterministic.

If your actor is communicating only through its inbox, then it is both pure and deterministic. Given the same set of messages in the same order, you arrive at the same actor state. Sure, you can do wacky things with side-effects, but that's not akka's fault.

This is hilarious. As a side note, I have a personal goal I've started using - never describe an idea by comparing it to an existing company. I think it triggers too many assumptions. If the person listening to your idea draws a connection then that is fine, but the premise of the idea should be original enough that it is better described on its own.

I have friends or co-workers describe ideas to me all of the time, and more often than not the description sounds like it came straight off this generator site.
I'd stick with Angular combined with Bootstrap to get stuff done quick - that said it might be useful to learn plain html/css/js first so you are aware of which features are introduced by frameworks.

Unfortunate indeed. I get that making things work well on both desktop on mobile is difficult (if not impossible), but at least the UI should be somehow usable.

In my case, it's because I've found IPSec considerably more of a pain to set up and maintain than OpenVPN, which iOS doesn't natively support. (I don't think Android does, either.)

In the general case, it's because most folks don't have the knowledge and skill required to set up either - nor should they have to.

With the increasing adoption of IoT devices and their generally crap (but not actively malicious) security, it would seem like a no-brainer for ISPs to offer VPN capability on the CPE as part of the basic service package, with UPnP configured to expose on the VPN interface rather than the public one, and with dynamic name resolution included to make configuration an easy one-time process. It'd help with customer retention, I think, and it'd surely improve network stability and throughput by reducing the quantity of attack traffic.

Flyer like product pages only work if you are an already well established brand.
And I can't imagine ever living in a society that values a slight reduction in taxes over providing basic protections for those in need.

Most of Europe provides those kind of protections to (greatly) varying degrees, because the alternative seems too horrifying.

> Other people don't buy a car with limited range because they might need to drive more than 4 hours without a long break once a year.

This is an easy argument to make, and I've made it myself in other cases, but there are two parts to the equation. The first is how often you might need to travel a long distance, but the second is what the consequence might be if you can't.

Personally speaking (this thankfully hasn't happened often) I've had to make literally last minute 12 hour drives to attend to gravely ill relatives. If our only car had been a 300 mile range electric, those drives wouldn't have been possible in anything close to the same duration. (Looking for an alternative/rent car at 11PM isn't really an option. Looking for a Supercharger station in rural Virgina at 3AM even less so.)

I once looked extensively into Softether. It's the work of a Japanese professor and his lab. It's over a million lines of code because squeezes different VPN protocols into one server. IIRC it might even require some binaries as a prerequisite to installation. Nobody has ever audited its source code (how could they? it's million+ lines), and it has not popular long enough to have faced serious scrutiny.

I would assume it to be insecure against a motivated attacker.
RoR doesn't look particularly web-focused to me (the end of it mentions the web server as something worth reading about). That said, it leaves a lot of Racket's features untouched. HtDP doesn't really aim for SICP's niche -- it is meant to be an introduction to programming and the mode of thought involved, rather than trying to cover the structure and implementation of languages.
This is not the case for many people. There are people that need this "catalyst".

This can happen when you move to a new town/country. Or when you're just not socially weired to be open to strangers with easiness.
The obvious solution to that is to break your code into smaller functions.

A Few Issues for Progressives to Think About
Or takes a sip from your own cup
Global median net wealth is about $2200. Most human beings have positive, not negative, wealth, even if not an awful lot of it.

For global wealth info, go to https://www.credit-suisse.com/us/en/about-us/research/resear... where you'll find a nicely presented Report and a Databook with more numbers in it.

The Databook has a table (Table 2-4) giving estimated median wealth per adult for all the world's countries (or something like all; I haven't checked). Many of the figures are small, but not one is negative. I'm fairly sure these figures are net of debt, but it's not 100% clear. So, just in case, compare those figures with the ones in the previous column, listing debt per adult; the only countries where the debt figure exceeds the wealth figures are (unless I missed some) Brazil, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany (!), Malaysia, Maldives, Sweden, the US.

(I believe from other sources that US median net wealth is comfortably positive, which is one reason why I am pretty sure the figures in the "median wealth" column of Table 2-4 are net of debt.)
Perhaps you're confusing VPNs with Tor. The latter seeks to provide anonymity; the former protects traffic traveling over a potentially untrustworthy network. Sure, a lot of
folks seem to use VPNs lately as just a proxy to bypass geoblocking or whatever, and that works if the upstream endpoint is in the right place - but that's no reason to get confused about what the tool under discussion actually is able to do.
Has anyone produced a screen that isn't backlit in recent years? I see there's a 13" e-ink display (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-world-s-first-e... ) but I don't know if it needs to be e-ink or simply not backlit. I worked last night to candle light and it was lovely; would like to be able to do the same on computer.

Perhaps it's worth finding an old monitor to kill the backlight on to try this out.

The tooling for Swift is certainly miles better on iOS, but I do like Rust as a language. On Android the most comprehensive solution I've seen is Xamarin, but last time I tried it (which was years ago), I wasn't a fan of the GUI and the perf was worse than Dalvik. Hopefully that has improved now.

Nuitka Release 0.5.25
I have actually tried to use this to build an enterprise application. Here is what we found.

* Most of the components they provide are very basic and does not actually require them to provide it. Couple of lines of wrapper on any CSS framework like bootstrap can make half of those components.

* Most of the advanced components like DataGrid, DropDown Menus, etc are aither not available or buggy. You will get better support from thirdparty Vue components.

* There are lot of silly components like footer and header etc. There is no need for defining them except to show that it is complete UI framework. Trying to be 'Complete UI Framework' is bad choice for any UI on Web. HTML is too flexible and requirements are too diverse that no one UI library can provide everything.

We finally replaced all Element Components with standard bootstrap code. Every thing works perfectly. And we get the benefit of 1000s people testing bootstrap.

A Technique for Getting Unstuck When Working Alone
With profunctors there's not necessarily anything going in or out and especially not necessarily and notion that the thing going in produces a thing going out.

That's all roughly true with one kind of profunctor, a function arrow, but not true in general.

For instance,

data Counterexample a b = Cx (Set a) b

is (very, very, very nearly [0]) a profunctor, but a isn't necessarily "going in" and b isn't necesssarily "coming out".

[0] It's a profunctor if a is finite. You can handle the infinite form by writing it as `data Cx a b = Cx (a -> Bool) b` which is equivalent to what I wrote when `a` is finite... but it also makes it a little easier to pretend that a is "going in" even if that's a bad intuition.
I would suggest Polymer. Web Standards based - has comprehensive library of elements and polymer itself is a tiny library.

I've had very good experience with it - if you know html/JS you will feel at home.

As for being "feature complete" - it has probably best implementation of material design elements and you can find a ton of other element on https://www.webcomponents.org/.

It is also interoperable with other solutions like jquery/angular/aurelia and others.

I'm not OP and I made the experience with Zurb's Foundation but the problem isn't specific to the framework.

In my opinion you'll run into issues with these kitchen sink frameworks once you try to do something custom - customizing elements and components feels like fighting the framework at a certain point and once you realize that it's hard to get out.

I don't recommend using Bootstrap or any other framework unless you're very certain about future requirements.

You needn't bother. Having repaired a considerable number of displays with dead backlight inverters, I can say from experience that you won't be able to see anything.

(Light has to pass through an LCD in order to produce a perceptible image. Watch displays, pre-backlight Palm devices, non-backlit e-ink displays, and the like do this by reflecting back light that arrives through the screen. Computer displays all but universally do it with a backlight; without one, and without a reflective layer behind the LC layer, you see a blank black rectangle no matter what the crystal layer is doing.)
