In Swedish egg farms, if salmonella is discovered (in a mandatory screening), the entire flock must be killed off. This provides a good incentive to avoid salmonella outbreaks. The state reimburses up to 50% of the costs incurred (up to 70% if the farm is part of the additional voluntary salmonella screening program).

There are a lot similar services in NYC that allow you to text a number to summon a deliver person to your home. The only thing that makes this one unique is that they hire models.

I'm sure the NYPD is aware that these services exist, and I doubt it would be difficult to identify most of the larger ones and shut them down if the city cared enough to allocate the resources to do so. The fact that that isn't happening is probably an indication that no one cares. If that changes it will probably have to do more with the unpaid taxes than anything else.

Hi folks,

I launched a curated weekly email at the start of this year, and am about to cross 1,300 subscribers. I spend hours each week, reading growth hacking and marketing articles, pick the best 10 and email it out.

I've written a step by step on how I am building the audience over on my blog (www.milesburke.com.au/blog/) and thats been the main driver of subscribers. Funny really, the more I write about getting subscribers, the more subscribers I get.

Let me know what you think, cheers!
You were frustrated by Windows 98 because you could not reason about it on the level you were used to. But think back on the earlier electronic enthusiasts who were used to thinking about resistors and voltages – they would have been just as frustrated by your ZX Spectrum because they would not have been able to reason about machine code by thinking about what voltages they mean. The level to reason about Windows 98 would instead be by thinking about installed programs, registry settings, DLLs, etc. If someone came to computers fresh and started with Windows 98, this level is what they would know.
"at least the browser is secure, even if other apps are not" is not exactly an ideal outcome,

That sounds like an ideal (if strictly unattainable) outcome. Your design seems like a sort of software-defined violation of the end-to-end principle. If it existed, most apps that have strong feelings about security simply wouldn't use it.

Some of the songs he parodied were utterly unknown to me. I remember how White and Nerdy was a massive hit before I finally heard the original: Riding Dirty. Of course the really big hits he parodied (Michael Jackson, Coolio) he never eclipsed, but he parodied a lot of songs that weren't really all that famous as far as I can tell.
Refrigerated eggs poach fine; if they didn't, nobody in the US would have decent poached eggs. :)
There is no reason to work under tighter constraints. You want developers to be able to push the retail version of the hardware to the limits. In order to do that and still be able to run debug builds you need the dev kit to be more powerful than the retail version.
Having used both to teach beginners, I can assure you that your categorical statements are false.

I might give Python an edge for a number of reasons (a shell is a simpler environment than a browser in a number of ways, some of the language features are cleaner), but to say that it's much harder doesn't bear out with my experience. Capable first-timers become productive at about the same rate.

I've found it's mostly experienced developers who trip over JavaScript, because they're carrying a set of expectations and are weirded out when it does something different. Turns out principle of least surprise means different things depending on people's backgrounds.

Feel free to choose to start someone with Python if you prefer it, or if they're likely to want to work in a domain where it makes sense (say, data science), but it's probably not going to change your learn-to-code outcomes much.
I've talked with cdiamon way before his happened and it definitely wasn't.

IBM was founded in 1911 so it's more than 100 years old. In computer science such a time span is basically "forever".

Of course 1911 IBM has nothing to do with today's IBM or 1950 IBM. IBM used to sell typewriters.
This has great potential, I'd definitely argue with some of the classifications but giving people on both sides a single site where they can contrast what both sides are saying could begin to heal the country's great divide.

The popularity of dynamic typing, I think, was at its peak around 2010, mostly due to the purported rediscovery of the "good parts" of the only client-side language for the web, the unprecedented acceptance of Python by academia, and the popularity of Ruby on r..the web (but PHP as well). Around the time that asm.js started being discussed, however, the trend was reversed: Though it may have made the benefits of static typing obvious, need for speed wasn't what replaced the likes of CoffeeScript with the likes of TypeScript. As web applications became more complex, the old Large Systems called for safety guarantees. Industrial languages never even considered losing their types, while improving considerably by adopting functional concepts. Nowadays I see no notable arguments for dynamically typed programming languages. With the exception Fowler's 2005 testing argument being reiterated, static typing is no longer being challenged. The new kids: Go, Rust, Swift - they all indicate that the errors will not be left to the runtime (or the unit test). It seems to me that the advocacy has been reduced to voicing personal preferences. I may still provoke the bold claim of there being "severe failure of static typing", but without any arguments, the default today is going to be to discount the claim, on account of the probability that it has merits that outweigh type safety alone.

I have only used a JS live environment (the browser console) but I hope you have in mind something that my static language's debugger cannot do. I assume the next two languages are about reflection - I've done some. Finally, I'm unfamiliar with the Erlang's static analysis tool and I don't know Racket's contracts, but I'd like you to tell me how they differ and why you think they're better than my own.

You need a cold chain anyways for all sorts of other foods, both here and in Europe. Meanwhile, washing eggs does reduce salmonella (salmonella in American eggs is practically nonexistent), and refrigerated eggs do keep longer.

You can create a Smart Folder that is based on one or more Tags (or any other combination of metadata, but Tags are useful in that you can manipulate them directly).
Machine learning just on text message metadata can probably be surprisingly accurate on classifying relationships and situations like friend, lover, employee, breakup, drug dealer, prostitute.

The one I use most often I call "Tell Nicole". Nicole is the name of my girlfriend. I can say "Alexa, Tell Nicole that the dog is throwing up again" and it will text it to my girlfriend right away.

I did it for the app name "Tell Nicole", it's just a more natural flow than other options I've seen.
They are harder to make, though. The albumins break down over time, leading to a more liquid egg white. This, in turn causes the egg to spread out more when you are poaching them. Making a perfectly round poached egg by dropping it into a pot of salted, simmering water is very difficult if the egg is less than a few days old. That's why Starfrit sells egg poachers.

BTW, I don't know about the US, but in Canada, the supply chain often delivers eggs to the store that are 2 weeks old, so it's quite likely that most people have never cooked with a fresh egg before in their life.

I live in the UK too... it's not that unusual to buy unrefigerated eggs with a use-by date of a month hence. You can leave them out, then hard boil them on that date, and they'll keep in the fridge for at least another week. I've always ended up eating them by that point though.

(I generally buy duck eggs rather than chicken eggs, though. Don't know if they last longer.)

FUN FACT: a couple of years ago I saw a Twitter thread between two British comedians/columnists/something/etc. trying to out-mock one another, and "I bet you refrigerate your eggs" was one of the lines.
america here, we used to own chickens -- the rule my wife told me is if it's fresh--it can sit for 1-2 months without putting in fridge, if it's store bought it must be refrigerated because of the cuticle. -- Though not sure on store-bought but un-washed eggs, since there's obviously handling and processing between farm and home it could obviously shorten the life span.
Russel Brand confounds me, some of his stuff is brilliant, but a lot is superficial and crazy.

It depends on the capabilities of the launcher. For Falcon 9 it's several minutes, but since that's shorter than the amount of time it takes to 'recycle' from an abort (even if the issue can be fixed in zero time), it's effectively an instantaneous window.

> Take a look at the Stack Overflow page again. There’s some good information there, but it’s completely hidden by Swift code that’s no longer relevant.

I recently experienced this first-hand with Python, chasing an issue with SSL certificates - my problem (SSL doesn't work on Python 3.6 on OSX unless you follow a post-install step to install certificates) was completely masked by problems some people experienced in a recent previous version of Python, where they had switched on certificate validation by default [0]. There were a number of similar-but-different SO questions, that all linked to each other. I wasted hours before I discovered that none of the results on Google for my exception were relevant.

It's hard with SO sometimes - information ends up being stale, and the accepted answer might no longer be the best. Sometimes you find a helpful comment or a new answer that has the right info, but other times it's just out of date or completely irrelevant. Worst, it leads you to mis-diagnose the problem, which is especially easy when it's something you're not familiar with: I know very little about SSL, I just want my API requests to work.

[0] Yes, I was astonished to discover that all this time certificates weren't being checked

I mean no offense to people who like dynamic typing. However, dynamic typing itself may just deserve to be dissed. But I'm not sure. So tell me if I'm wrong.

I am a regular Duolingo learner but I have yet to see how this is better in a significant way (I am not trying to be a dick but just giving honest opinion - sorry :( ). Or maybe I just missed something.

I played around with your product and I've found that I need to enter words or select missing ones like in Duolingo. It seems a bit more difficult than Duolingo though.

The biggest problem to me with Duolingo that it doesn't explain certain language rules (I am learning German) and you have to brute-force until you "get a feeling" and memorize patterns.

Another problem, is that there is very little focus on developing your speaking skills which (to me at least) are the most important.

I would really love to see some emphasis on speaking skill development.

Even more, Duolingo sucks at text understanding development - you get to learn sentence by sentence, but you are never getting a "full picture". So when you get a proper, full text (some short article, for example) in another language, it just feels a bit overwhelming.

Basically, what I am trying to convey and what's missing (for me) in this kind of apps, is that learning language is not about filling in missing words in the sentences.

Btw, I really like that you charge $8 - IMO Duolingo here misses out a huge chunk of money. I would easily pay $5 and probably up to $10 but now I have just to "endure" one ad every 5min which doesn't bother me at all.

What's the “new internet” in the 'Silicon Valley' season 4 teaser?
Funny enough to shadowfacts comment, I think when you remind people that you can share/upvote/promote, you generally get a higher return rate. At least, that's what common wisdom seems to say. For example, if at the end of a blog post you say "tell us your story about x" where it relates to the post, you're more likely to get responses than if you didn't. This of course doesn't help bad content that you don't reach the end of.
It feels nice to spot something on the new list, give it its first upvote, and then the next day see it on the front page.

I've also seen a lot of interesting stuff on /newest that never makes it to the front page. Sometimes stuff that I personally find useful, even if it isn't relevant to the community at large.

Also, pro tip: page 2 has new posts with a handful of upvotes where one or two more votes can easily propel them to the front page. You can make a difference!
I did not read the article as I got fed up with playing the "chase the close box in this overlay" game. However, most egg vendors in Japan neither wash, nor refrigerate eggs. The main exception I can think of are the eggs at the convenience store. In my town, they even have vending machines for eggs that the local farmer fills up every 2 or 3 days. They are unrefrigerated and the eggs sit happily there are 35 degrees C in the summer.
I switched to Vultr from OVH for learning/testing stuff, mostly because of the double credit promotion. I think being able to upload your own ISO or use OpenBSD on these services is a big plus. They're also giving 50GB of block storage for free during the beta period, which is neat if you're trying to play with filesystems. From the times I've messed with DO they have pretty great customer service and a really slick UI, but it felt very restrained compared to other companies with what you can deploy.
I have been begging for this for years! Make it!
I forgot about TMP. Even so, that's still not a ton of users in terms of the total Firefox users. Plus, I'd wager a large percentage of those are TMP legacy users. Way back in the day, TMP was the only way to properly manage sessions and tabs. Firefox now has full session management and you can reload, pin, undo close, close other tabs, and move tabs around to your heart's content. Heck, the most recent review of the extension even says as much.

I don't mean they should force people onto Swift. I mean that Swift, should be totally independent of ObjC, so that customers, if they choose to use it are not dependent on it.

Also - Apple could feasibly provide a 'lib/bridge' - just as Android can use C++ code as well, if you want to use it.

I think Apple could surely commit to keeping ObjC around for quite some time - maybe 4 years official support, and then maybe 8 years on the devices, but with no more documentation/support.

"All those things will come. If you want them, wait for them."

I don't agree - this is 'doing it wrong'. It's been out for years. This is way past 'early adoption'.

'Doing it right' means that it is easy for new and old developers. Right now - it's hard.

Doing Swift 'right':

1) Make Swift a clean break, get rid of some of the more obscure things that make it difficult. Get rid of relationship to ObjC.

2) Detailed docs, tons of examples. Examples for every single class, every single attribute. 100% of functionality should be 'explainable by example'.

3) Beta for 1 year, then production.

4) No backwards-incompatible changes after out of beta. (Easier said than done).

5) Docs, examples etc that clearly demarcate versioning.

6) Tons of support on Stack Exchange: dedicated staff to simply monitoring, answering, clarifying issues just on Stack Exchange.

7) 'Free Support and Training' for anyone who wants it and who can make it to a major city, i.e. NYC Jan 1-5 or 'weekend course' for anyone who registers. Free. Once every few months. At least 100 Engineers just doing training, and going into dev/studios companies to help them with stuff.

8) Free online courses, for newbs, and those coming from other languages, and Objc.

They made Swift a little too complicated, and left devs hanging in the dark on so many issues.
Depends where. In the startup world? Absolutely. In tech in general? No - if anything its preferred.

As a former .NET developer myself, the stigma isn't wholly unjustified. I've met more .NET developers that don't know what's going on underneath the libraries they are using than I have elsewhere - for example, using the Entity Framework but barely knowing SQL. The Microsoft certification process ensures that developers know how to make the same kind of corporate apps over and over, but don't necessarily understand the basics.

There are a great many talented developers that aren't like that, though. And there is a lot to like about C# - I hope more people use it now that it's being open sourced.
I feel that ranks should be a combination of explicit and implicit activity.

If a story link is followed a certain number of times, if a certain amount of time is spent on a page, etc. these indicators might contribute to an “implicit upvote” for a story or contribute in some way to its rank regardless of explicit up-votes. It’s also really important to have a good way to recognize and consolidate duplicates and reward them equally.

Activity in a comment subtree should also implicitly increase the rank of a comment. I have occasionally seen comments that were mysteriously not upvoted even once, despite spawning multiple levels of subtree discussion; in such case, isn’t the comment implicitly “more valuable” by creating a lengthy discussion, even if no one ever explicitly upvoted it?

Language learning also isn't about finding the one app to rule them all. It's about using various different approaches in parallel that, together, expose you to the breadth.

This doesn't need to be better than Duolingo, it just needs to work a different part of the brain.

One problem with Duolingo is that its fill-in-the-blank always comes with a word bank which makes them all pretty trivial. You don't need much understanding to choose between a bank of "girl", "cloud", "yesterday", and a single verb conjugation.

Open-ended cloze tests, on the other hand, actually force me to think.

I think it's outside of Clozemaster's scope to care about speaking. Didn't Duolingo remove speaking tests from their app recently because everyone toggled them off?
I didn't mean to imply that Haskell isn't Turing complete, of course.
