>> to display multiple things simultaneously? If my email or social media feeds are available at a glance, then I’ll check them constantly

Just had no desire to read further, I started with the impression that there will be some strong arguments against multi monitor setup. May be for the author's needs a single monitor suffices, he earlier had a multi monitor setup, so he ended up using the excess which made him unproductive. That is not a multi monitor setup being useless problem, it is a problem of you not having a use case for multi monitor setup.

Of course if one is using a multi monitor setup to do multi tasking, that is not really recommended. But there are many tasks where a multi monitor setup makes you feel how you lived without one for long? Sample: When I work on an Xcode app, I have one primary 25" monitor fully dedicated to Xcode (IB, editor, inspectors etc) and the second 22" monitor dedicated to Xcode docs, browser with relevant docs/tabs (no email etc), terminal all arranged with Moom. Trying to do this on a 13/15" real estate will make me work at a snail's pace or even negative pace for the constant switching.

I think Cal Newport must be having a free healthy daily dose of laughter given every Tom is referring to Deep Work when talking about Focus!
Just looking at the numbers is misleading: curl had a security audit last year ( https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/11/23/curl-security-audit/ ), which may mean much fewer are reported over the next few years, as they were all found last year.
Ok understood. We mostly don't use any estimates. Neither effort, nor time.

I have changed our boards to the main recommendations so far and now I hit some wall. Our QC is testing away a new internal release and getting back with the issues. But they create a new card in the "Test" list containing a check list with all the potential bugs they found, around 10-12 items.

Should they rather create single cards for each issue and push it into the inbox? I feel somehow its going against the system to summarize a dozen points in a kind of "Test Report Card".
They have well supported API to push your code into it (alongs with gulp/ grunt package to do so, I think).

So you can work in your favourite environment and just "deploy" the code as normal, or am I missing anything?
I wouldn't say it's the top benefit but it is a benefit indeed! You don't have to worry about setting any of those up unless you want to customize them. You shouldn't have to because they come with sane defaults (i.e., Babel has support for latest ES and the Webpack config takes care of everything for you).

For example, the only custom change we had to make was to add Webpack's `DefinePlugin` to expose `.env` variables in the client. It was extremely easy though (3 LOC) and we didn't need a full Webpack config.

This is not a great fix. Almost all companies (not just drug companies) routinely find ways to segment the market into different groups with different abilities to pay and then charge different prices for very similar products. That is the profit (or future research budget) maximizing strategy.

The US is richer. It should be paying more. How much more is debatable.
Something tells me this would be against some WTO rules. The US gov could simply negotiate a better deal just like Germany, Sweden or any other country does but...I guess the lobby plays a important role in the grand scheme of things so unless the US electorate puts pressure on the government you won't see a better deal.
It's easy to imagine SCOTUS allowing such a thing, it's just hard to imagine the government doing it, or anything that restrains healthcare costs at the expense of healthcare companies.

It's supposedly fantasy, but it contains some of the best (fun and insightful) examinations of political systems, economics, religion, the environment, military culture and more. If it sounds like everything, it's because it is :)

My favorite work of art in any medium.

Depends on if it is profitable to sell them drugs in that world.

If it isn't profitable, those countries either mostly do without or violate trade agreements (ignoring patents and the like).

Heh, I run two 30", one landscape, one portrait. I have 6 code windows open on the landscape and I can run a browser with the viewport set to 1280x720 and have a crapload of space below for the debugger/console. Below that, a term used for transferring my current iteration to my test server. On the other side of the landscape monitor I have an old 20" 4:3 rotated to portrait mode, two term windows, one tails and the other is in psql.
The safe community spaces on college campuses are honestly doing the opposite of what you suggest, generally giving people the opportunity to speak without fear. An example being communities where LGBT students can speak without fear of being targeted by homophobia, transphobia or otherwise. It's not unusual for communities to create rules to help foster dialogue and make its members feel safe being in that community
You can always not fly! Seems silly to be so scared.
Like, a lot of the rust community is putting the effort into rewriting things in Rust.

From within the community I don't see any coherent effort to tell folks to rewrite in Rust. We're very happy to see Rust rewrites, but not many people are pushing for it except the folks actually putting effort into it.

Yes, every time a vulnerability pops up someone will say "rewrite it in Rust", but half the time it's not even a Rust programmer (often, Rust programmers come and disagree and say "Rust wouldn't fix this", IME).
Do you have to manipulate text? Perl is probably better than C for that.

Do you have to write a program that operates on lists? Lisp probably is better than Java.

Do you have to write a formal proof? Coq is probably better than Python.

Do you have to write distributed networking code? Erlang is probably better than PHP.

How can the strengths of each language not be direct support for linguistic relativity? All that means is that certain concepts are easier to manipulate and understand in certain languages.
That didn't stop him from trying to repeal Obamacare. I personally think we should institute drug price controls for many reasons including that one but I'm not sure why we are thinking that Donald Trump is going to do it.
I suppose I meant that in response to "the establishment taking a beating". It's taking a beating, but leading to a new establishment that's much the same as the old one. Yes, I get a lot of content with Netflix, but since content is scattered and exclusive, I end up paying for much that I don't want across many services. Much like if I want to watch network "x" on cable, I also need to get network "y". To watch show "w", I need to get show "x" on network "y".

Of course, I can buy show by show, but since a single season of a show costs as much as several months of a subscription, that shows there's much to be gained in "bundling" for providers and I suppose we'll need to accept that (like I said, it's a pipe dream).

I think in a few years time this will all start to become more complicated. For a younger generation, the content is in independent products distributed on YouTube rather than professional productions on subscriptions networks. If the YouTube model becomes popular, TV will become cheaper to make and then costs shift to distribution.
If you believe this guy, most linguists who speak of the "S-W Hypothesis" have no idea what Sapir or Whorf said: http://hilgart.org/enformy/dma-Chap7.htm.

—

'I push his head back' and 'I drop it in water and it floats,' though very dissimilar sentences in English, are similar in Shawnee. The point of view of linguistic relativity changes Mr. Everyman's dictum: Instead of saying "Sentences are unlike because they tell about unlike facts," he now reasons: "Facts are unlike to speakers whose language background provides for unlike formulation of them."

We are thus introduced to a new principle of relativity, which holds that all observers are not led by the same physical evidence to the same picture of the universe, unless their linguistic backgrounds are similar, or can in some way be calibrated.

From this fact proceeds what I have called the "linguistic relativity principle," which means, in informal terms, that users of markedly different grammars are pointed by their grammars toward different types of observations and different evaluations of externally similar acts of observation, and hence are not equivalent as observers but must arrive at somewhat different views of the world.

Concepts of "time" and "matter" are not given in substantially the same form by experience to all men but depend upon the nature of the language or languages through the use of which they have been developed.
The Ultimate Phison E7 Prototype NVMe SSDs – Tom's Hardware
Probably a fifth or so based on watching logs when I kept them (I do not keep logs now for the hidden service). But even accounting for that I get more human traffic to the tor hidden service. The list of public, interesting, tor sites is low. So if you get your site included in any of the curated lists it funnels a ton of both bot and human traffic your way from curious explorers.

Tor hidden service public websites are like how the web was in the mid 1990s. Web rings, curated lists and indexes, and people literally surfing the web. It's really refreshing and non-commercial.
Why Is that so ridiculous. Humans are more powerful than their environment. No other species is. When you can craft the environment you exist in, the evolutionary pressures on you are correspondingly weaker. Have you wondered how mental disorders or chronic diseases still exist? You're not dropping any pills, you just sound like you talk about things you don't understand.

I'm not really sure why all those things need to happen to load some text in a blog article.
> Virtual Desktops For the Win

There's a few things about virtual desktops on OS X (the OS I use at work) that just absolutely kill them for me:

1. OS X will re-order keyboard inputs when the inputs contain virtual desktop commands. That is, if you have two terminals open, one in one desktop, and one in another, and you type ^→¹ "hi", where "hi" ends up depends on how quickly you type the command. If you know the desktop on the right has a terminal, and you know what you want to run in that terminal, you have to switch, wait for the animation to complete, and then type the command; it's an artificial limitation on your speed.

2. OS X will re-order desktops. Which means I never know where, in this virtual space, the desktop I'm seeking is. The latest version of OS X made this even more annoying, because now if you do an exposé, you don't get thumbnails by default, so you can't even see where the desktop might have gotten moved to. (You have to grab the mouse and hover over the darn things.)

Compare this to the rather simplistic multidesktop functionality in MATE: desktops don't move. The switch is instant and keyboard input order is maintained. The space is 3D, not 2D. There are small thumbnails in your tray. (I could wish for some things from MATE, in particular, I don't know how/if it's possible to reorder whole desktops.)

[1]: (change to desktop to the right)

(Also, OS X will occasionally just get stuck in the middle of a desktop switch. As in, I'll have no hands on the mouse/keyboard, and I'll be looking at the left half of one desktop and the right half of another.)

Edit: I forgot 3. OS X will combine desktops if the set of attached displays changes. I really wish I could have it just move the desktops to the laptop, not combine them. (Also, I really wish that when the external display was reattached, that the windows would restore the size and layout they had; as it is, today they all get resized to the size of the smaller laptop screen — which makes sense while they're there, but once the external is back, I want the sizes back too.) I have no idea how MATE compares here.
The Once and Future King by T H White is likely my favorite fictional book. A modern (1940s) retelling of Arthurian legend, it really struck me in how it was able to captivate my imagination and my emotions. In that story I found White was masterfully able to discern when to be serious and when to be playful - by which he reanimated, for me, the legend of Arthur - parts of which I started to find stale, or outright did not enjoy.
This is very, very important.

The drug market is one of the farthest things we have from a free market in the US outside of military weapons. It is just massively dysfunctional due to a combination of special interest lobbying combined with stepwise path-dependency.

A huge part of the health care discussion in the US starts from assuming our current system is somehow natural. It isn't. It is an engineered thing, with the engineering performed by in a non-coordinated fashion with incompatible goals by non-experts, piecewise, over a long period of time.

Even though I doubt it (healthcare truly is different than most services/goods), a truly free market might even be superior to what we have, in terms of outcomes by patient count. Of course, that would lead to unsightly public corpses, a much different drug industry and a lot of unemployed clerical workers, among other things.

And the big, unanswered question remains: why the US is such a special snowflake that what works in various ways in every other first-world country cannot work here. (Aside from the obvious answer.)
Yes, and I'd like to add that W3C's semantic web efforts (in the form of EU-sponsored papers of top researchers in the field) have brought pretty well-understood description logic subsets formalized as OWL2 profiles. But IMHO, in W3C's semantic stack, these pearls get somewhat lost under layers of syntax - not just RDF/XML but also the (IMHO) mediocre SPARQL language syntax/protocol and needless variant syntaxes for description logic axioms such as functional syntax, etc. As you probably know, this all started as a variable-free syntax for logic axioms (such as your example for transitivity) as early as 1991, but I'm arguing not much was won (and in fact, things were made less clear intuitively) by using variable-free ad-hoc syntax for logic.

While many people like JSON-LD, if you see actual uses of it such as Google's corporate contacts ([1]), I can't help but think it merely adds to the already heavy "syntacticity" of the semantic stack. For me, JSON-LD feels like an appeasement to the JSON and pragmatic web developers crowd, but then its JSON gets very complicated/counter-intuitive and squeezes @type, @context and other meta-meta attributes into JSON which won't make pragmatist happy.

Personally, my go-to stack for logic has become Datalog and Prolog once again (unmatched in terms of minimalism, elegance, and power IMHO).

This may not actually hurt the profits of the drug industry, because they would probably renegotiate their prices with the other countries. Right now, as long as the cost of what they charge to country is basically their marginal cost of production, they don't have much incentive to oppose the negotiation. Now, they can say that because they have to charge the same to the US, the other countries will have to pay more, or not get the drug. Thus, this has the potential to be revenue neutral for the drug companies while spreading out the cost more fairly
I'll leave The Bible out of the discussion, but echo the point made.

As one human race, we can all come together, try very hard, regardless of class or race or creed or sex, in earnest support of one another, and can collectively make terrible decisions like Daylight Savings Time.
Assuming the OP you're referring to is me, i may have mislead you a bit. It's not joy in saving money exactly, but building good habits/etc. I've got a lot to save up for, retirement, investments, dental work, etcetc. So it's not that i enjoy the dollars exactly, but i want to have security in finance, for the long and short term. Building good habits is really crucial to being happy there, imo.

Netflix has awful user interface. I found out that i waste 15 to 20 min everyday browsing the same movies which i have rejected previously. There is no way to hide a movie. If you start hiding the movies on Netflix, you will find that there is actually no new stuff to watch most of the time. Also their rating system is horrible, they should tie up with Rotten tomatoes for actual rating.

Crafting perfect Java Docker build pipeline
I have put a lot of hours into Two Awesome Gamers, Epic Meal Time, and ERB, these days in that genre I watch Seth the Programmer, and Team Four Star. I stopped watching TAG when they fell apart, but for a long time they were pretty consistently decent. Epic Meal Time just lost their focus, Harley for a long time seemed to be phoning it in. ERB seems to be done.

My metric for content is if the videos seem to be improving or not. I'll keep watching if it looks like they're pushing at something other than just more eyeballs and cash. ERB's content just kept getting better and better, those guys are all seasoned entertainment industry veterans. Likewise for Team Four Star, they're all solid voice actors and they just get better and better at their craft.

If all you're trying to satisfy is an audience, your schtick gets tired quick.
I especially like the in-depth examples for things like using Flow with Redux, it's often easier to figure that stuff out from examples rather than from the first principles of Flow.

You are a poet, sir. Best answer.
The biggest factor for me has been when an employer promises changes to how
the tech team is managed and then doesn’t deliver on them. To a certain
extent all teams struggle with the trade-offs between spending time
developing good specs versus staying agile, and between addressing technical
debt and building new features. But I’ve left companies after years of
chaotically fighting fires while simultaneously needing to build new
features, or after repeatedly getting disorganized braindumps or single line
descriptions from stakeholders rather than the thoughtful, detailed specs
they’ve promised.

This is everything and describes my current situation perfectly! It's so difficult to program as well as design specs and UI and manage time as well. It teaches you a lot but it's much easier if what you are being asked to build is clear in the first place!
Anecdotally, a family member that regularly travels with their small dog experiences much less scrutiny.

That's actually how many apps on macOS have worked for years. Anything that ships in the Mac App Store runs in a sandbox with limited privileges. In fact, every instance of an Open/Save panel on macOS run in a separate process to the main application and relay their visual appearance using XPC and NSRemoteView. It's pretty cool stuff!

Wishful thinking! But I suppose we'll see.
>I believe the next step is having "blockbusters" feature movies, with top notch CGI, a-level actors, maybe some Oscar contenders.

That is probably too expensive unless they release to theaters first.

What they could do is create the missing midrange movie that Hollywood just doesn't make anymore. Hollywood makes huge expensive movies and indie studios make cheap movies. Netflix could make the 40 million dollar style of movie that nobody makes anymore.

In fact, they sort of are, they just do it in a longer form.

It depends on whether you actually want to know precisely what your code does. For me, that's essential to writing reliable software.

In my view, one of the reasons why we consistently fail to produce reliable software is that we continue to use a language from the 1970s that makes it very hard to determine what the meaning of a program is.
My personal experience has been that Dubai (which I believe is one on the list?) has some of the highest security I've seen. Everytime I go through it as a passenger connecting on another flight (not leaving the airport) I've been though security (shoes off x-rays e.t.c.) after leaving the plane and getting into the terminal proper. In addition there were spot checks in the waiting lounge before actually bording my onwards flight (on one trip, not all) where my belt was swabbed (presumably for explosives?) and I was asked to turn on my laptop to prove it worked. Never had that happen anywhere else.
There are a lot of problems with reference pricing. First off, if country A (300M people) references country B (30M people), then the drug company can simply chose not to launch the drug in country B if that reference price is too low.

Second, drug companies can modify their launch sequence (this already happens today) so that they launch in the referenced countries after the price is set in the country doing the referencing.

Third, this may actually push up the prices in other countries. This actually happened with Medicare Part B reimbursement back in the 1990s. Drug companies were offering big discounts to some private plans. Medicare said they wanted a piece of that, so they started calculating ASP (average selling price). Pretty quickly those other discounts disappeared and ASP got pushed way up and the gov't ended up with a fraction of the discounts they thought they'd get.
The US is richer and should be paying more than say Kenya. However, you would be hard-pressed to explain why the US should be paying more than say Denmark or Sweden or Germany?
I don't know if the R&D argument even works. Just how much are we overpaying for our drugs? It looks like American pharmaceutical R&D is about $60 billion/year, or roughly $200 per capita. Is that really all we're losing to these high prices?

IMO part of figuring it out for yourself is a little research (which can be as basic as simple observation). Then you decide what to keep or trash as part of "yourselfing" it.
