I think the best dates are essentially free. Go to a park with a bed sheet with the lunch you were going to eat anyway for example. That's only bus fare or gas as an input cost. Going to a bar and screaming over the music while you get shitfaced is no way to get to know someone.

I didn't make an argument to not look at root causes for anything. If your argument is that I'm being inconsistent, then you're wrong. Is your argument: "it isn't worth it to discuss causes in this case?"
Yeah, that's typically the case with concrete construction. :-)
I am tech savy and I have been using mac for 4 years. I can't find where to change settings on Windows 10 to be honest, I find my self looking at two different control panels all the time, one is the moderm one like for tablets and the other one is the one we had since Windows 95 I believe. Some settings can be changed in one but not in the other one.
Even if one did this, any atmosphere on Mars would be temporary as the solar wind would eventually strip it away. The magnetic field is required for long term viability.
I think the start menu on win10 looks like someone threw up a bunch of squares and trying to update settings in what was the control panel is now a special kind of hell.

I don't use it ever except when I need to help friends/family though.
I own one of these. It comes close, but it's just not the same.

I use my laptop, closed, hooked up to an external monitor. Nowadays, I spend a lot of time on video conferences. The number of times that my laptop has shut down mid-conference because I tapped the cable under my desk just enough for the connection to drop for a split second (combined with Apple's -- let's call it "interesting" -- decisions around power management) in the last week is way too high.

The author says "reverting smaller diffs as a roll-forward is more verifiable" near the end of the article. I agree the title makes this a bit confusing, but I don't think he's arguing that the only way to recover is to write a patch under pressure.
It doesn't seem like you're understanding my comment. I don't hold myself in low esteem - and the false choice I mentioned is about the political discourse I see, not any actual person. I'm curious how you're able to establish that I'm a bitter person - this just seems ad hominem.

If they're not a burden on the rest of society, then there's nothing wrong with that. I take issue with able-bodied people not working, and collecting welfare while contributing nothing - which is a problem worth billions of dollars in my country.

Developers flock to the platform with more users. Which means Apple actually does need to focus on iOS to get more people to keep using mac.

Those of us who are ios developers will keep bitching about it but have no alternative so will keep on using macs as long as their iOS ecosystem is doing great.
This argument would legitimize torture if society would agree on that it is legitimate. So it's a really bad idea to accept this argument.

A language with no promises of stability counts as a "toy" in my mind (I understand that this can be subjective, just providing my opinion).

The current version of GarageBand saves projects under ~/Music/GarageBand by default. and iMovie uses an opaque "iMovie Library" in ~/Movies. I'm not sure about older versions, although from a quick Google it seems unlikely to me that it used those directories.

Apple's documentation[1] implies that applications are not supposed to use the documents directory themselves (only when the user selects it in the file picker).

Litebook launches $249 Linux laptop
There's something odd with this article: "(...) a capacity to produce 648 MW of electricity (...) built at a cost of $679 m(...) The solar power plant has the capacity to generate electricity sufficient for about 150,000 homes"

Then we have Ivanpah solar power plant: cost $2.2 Billions, theoretical capacity 392 MW but only output 40% its first year of operation and about 66% at best since. This while burning 525 million cubic feet of natural gas a year (almost twice the amount initially allowed).

Then we have the former biggest solar plant in Spain: combined solnovas, PS10, PS20 and AZ20 for a grand total of 300MW of electricity enough to power 180,000 homes.

So a plant in Tamil Nadu built for around 1/4 of the cost with almost twice the output of Ivanpah but only enough power for 30,000 less homes than the Spain plant which has an output lower than Ivanpah's.

These numbers do not add up, with a PR smell floating around and politics/business/marketing as usual.
These conspicuous consumers are only fooling themselves. If my neighbor spends 4x on his car compared to me, it certainly doesn't make me feel inferior in any way. If anything it makes me feel sorry for him -- must be overcompensating for some other shortcoming.

"There is a vast amount of empirical data that shows patch adoption rates are far faster on iOS."

Is that still true for the Google reference models? The Pixel, Nexus and other references devices tend to get updates in a much timelier fashion than, say, the Galaxies, Experias, and Notes of the world, and because the reference models aren't laden with proprietary bloatware, they tend to work more reliably after upgrading as well.

> Paris has very extraordinary tenant protections, even for people who weren't actually tenants and who don't pay their rent.

The problem is that for every story about bad tenants, I can find a story about a shitty landlord. And, often, then shitty landlord affects WAY higher a number of people since shitty landlords all too often have multiple properties.

This is actually a bit of dilemma in small towns in the US. Many small towns have a very poor rental market, so they have many tenants who can barely pay. This also means that the landlords need to keep rental prices very low--which translates into shitty slumlord rentals. However, if regulation steps in to make the place better, it effectively bankrupts the landlord who then abandons the place and now the city gets the joy of what to do with the abandoned property.
This is not only the US but the whole industrial / coal revolution. But I think they do know about that already.
The app works by blocking ads that the community finds objectionable. We have found that a lot of users are frustrated by longer and longer ads, repetitive ads, and ads inappropriate for their interests. In particular, a lot of our users are not based in America, so an ad for buying US postage stamps isn't that relevant.

We allow users to subscribe to up to 6 podcasts without paying the subscription fee. I think this is a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, unlike a desktop ad blocker - we need a lot of human involvement to block the ads.
This isn't science. This is marketing. The author was a founder at Soylent, so this looks a lot like a ramp up to a new product. He said part 2 will talk about results of "the experiment". I'm guessing Part 3 will be how to buy it (or kickstart it).
You're getting a lot of huffy responses to this question, but it is an entirely legitimate one. In fact, many (maybe most?) western countries don't have the same exclusionary rules the US has. There are other remedies to police misconduct. If you were starting a nation from first principles, it's not an iron law of justice that your courts have that rule.

The reason we believe the exclusionary rule works so well is that it strikes directly at the incentive structure for the police. We don't have to convince evidence-gathering officers of their liability or assess liability up and down the chain of responsibilities on the prosecution's side; we just have to assess whether evidence was handled properly, and, if it wasn't, the prosecutors lose the evidence. The one simple rule neatly ensures that nobody --- in any role --- on the prosecution's side has any incentive to mishandle evidence (or coerce underlings or partner organizations to mishandle it).

But clearly the rule isn't a requirement. We don't generally believe, for instance, that Canada's criminal justice system is systemically corrupt, and they don't have a hard-and-fast exclusion rule.

That's right, and that's probably one of the reasons the DA40 is typically seen to compete with the 172 more than the 182.

If you need 4pax+ load, Diamond doesn't really have anything, unless you upgrade to a twin. The DA50 was supposed to fill that gap in the matrix, I guess.

I've been an Apple fan for 30 years - from my first Apple //e, LCII with an Apple //e card, a PowerMac 6100/60 and after 8 or 9 years back to Mac with a G4 Mac Mini and a Cire Duo Mac Mini.

But since 2006, every time I look at buying a Mac laptop, I can't hit the buy button because they are more expensive than I want to pay and end up buying a Dell.

But even during that time, I've still bought multiple iPods, iPhones, and tablets.

All that being said, I can see a Mac in my future once I decide to buckle down and be a true hard core, front end developer and start using all of the stuff the cool kids use and/or an iOS developer.

But what would I buy? The Mac Mini would be good enough but I would feel bad buying outdated tech even if in day to day use I couldn't tell the difference, I don't want an all in one iMac, the laptops still either cost more than I want to spend or are underpowered (the MacBook).
1. http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/fork.htm See Hook and Fork. This was the first introduction of Trains programming in APL, I think. You can see help.dyalog.com for more information of the current implementation in Dyalog.

2. I think the tree printout of trains is a built in library feature of Dyalog APL. The dfns library (dfns.dyalog.com) has a tree printing dfns that may be of use in implementing it, and I think you can read the actual source code for that in the user command for display or the like.

I may implement a version of this for my ASTs to augment the Xml and px utilities, as it is a nice format and one that might be of use for printing out the AST of the compiler. I have not had need of it yet, though, so I'll probably get to it the next time I have to do a fancy demo for which I can prepare more adequately.

You just don't seem to be able to take any nuance without failing. My comment wasn't about what you put in quotes - I don't know who you're quoting.

If you're away for a year or two, DON'T give your apartment to let.

But the main issue, in the large, with the epidemic of vacant apartments isn't that these people all just happen to be going away for a year or two. It's that the apartments are bought solely as vehicles of speculation (or to store and/or launder wealth) -- and are effectively no longer "living spaces", in any meaningful sense.

Then it's now fashionable to frame this as a xenophobic "rich foreigners come and hoard our apartments and cause housing shortage".

Yet there's a lot of evidence that this is exactly what's happening (substituting "exacerbate" for "cause"). And it's not "fashionable" or "xenophobic" to call something what it is. It's called speaking plainly and directly.
I'm pretty sure they're proper implemented in PCmanFM.

Realistically, when you run a website big enough that the people pushing the code to servers aren't the people who wrote it, you're going to have a rollback button. The ops people can't wait to figure out what commit caused the issue, much less wait for a fix. They're going to roll back the servers.

Note that a rollback could be useful even in the example in this post. Machines that have hit the bad codepath are corrupted, but machines that haven't hit it yet still have good data. Sometimes you need to stop the bleeding even if there's more work to be done for a fix.

> If developers incorrectly believe that their mistakes can be quickly reversed, they will tend to take more foolish risks.

That may be true, but by the same token, if developers believe their code can't be rolled back, they're writing code that's broken in a different way.
The price is artificial, much like the Tesla Roadster pricing they have been focused on really high end homes that someone can truck up into the Sierras and 'poof' your mountain getaway is there.

They are developing a core competency of creating the fixturing to mass produce homes. The cost per house should
drop well below that of a traditional house with equal square footage when they go for volume. They do that by removing construction labor, site/weather variability (so site delays), economize material transport cost, and reducing time to construct (labor hours). Things that don't change, the cost of basic materials, the cost of land, the cost to prepare the site (foundation/leveling etc), and permitting/access.

For the absolute lowest cost with on site materials the 'sand' homes [1], that provides the framing (much like the 3D printed house in the article).

Old saying don't believe everything you hear, and only believe half what you read. Most news and blog outlets are horrible for information. Either they redigest someone else information, spin it to be more interesting, or just jump on the hype train. Their are few blogs and news outlets that actually have experts worth listening to. When the news/blog outlets heard whatsapp had a technique flaw by a security expert they jump on it like a fresh piece of meat. Whatsapp didn't have any security flaws or implementation flaws, but that didn't matter. The news/blogs didn't even understand it they were just jacked for some revenue from ads for this fresh piece of meat. It did so much harm to the people that use it for security reasons and to the company. But that didn't matter it is all about getting you to download a piece of javascript to tell some company you may have notice there ad that was place on someones website. News is dead. Bloggers only care about traffic. Experts are either paid to be used and abused or don't have a big enough audience to be heard.
After the initial setup, (which BTW is extremely well documented on the wiki), Arch is actually super user friendly. Compared to Ubuntu, you always get the latest software, never have to reinstall, aur has more esoteric software and pacman is faster than apt.
Hi Matthew,

I've been very anxious at times in my life (very!), and I've tried to mend it myself too. And at times my mending has felt liked it worked, and I even felt strong feelings of serenity during my experiences too.

However I found my self administered solutions did not last. I hope yours do! But if they don't try going to see a therapist. I have done that for a number of years and see that this results in lasting change.

Like I said I hope your set, but if anything comes back - give it a go.
>The fact is that most in demand knowledge workers want to live in central urban areas.

That's definitely false. There are hot markets for "knowledge workers" in every American metro, and a hot virtual market that is more than happy to pay for talented developers no matter where they're located.

In local markets, salaries may be adjusted based on the cost of living, but in relative terms, valuable knowledge workers have a lot of opportunity and are compensated well for their work wherever they live.

You might be conflating "my classmates at the university" with "in-demand knowledge workers", but it's incorrect to assume that people who could match the profile of a recent graduate comprise the majority, or really even a substantial part, of the "desirable worker" market. Real-world experience is immensely valuable, and real-world experience is generally only found where age, the necessary corollary of experience, exists. That is frequently not urban centers.

I know a senior developer who, in his mid-50s, left behind the Seattle metro for a quiet life in the mountains of Idaho. As long as he had an internet connection, his clients were more than happy to keep him on board.

I've spent my entire career in metro areas of respectable size, but not the "urban centers" or tech hotspots that you're probably referring to. There are good (and bad) developers everywhere.

>No thank you, I'd much rather live in a small apartment with a 15 minute walkable commute.

That works while you have 1 -- maybe 2 -- inhabitants in your "small" (read: tiny) apartment. If you ever have kids, the impracticality of this plan will be immediately visible. This further suggests that you're constraining your view of "in demand knowledge workers" to the under-30 set. I suggest you get out more!
