"Assigning a value to an undeclared variable implicitly creates it as a global variable (it becomes a property of the global object) when the assignment is executed."

FWIW Snowden speculates "Circumstantial evidence and conventional wisdom indicates Russian responsibility. Here's why that is significant" - https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/765514891813945344
No, GP is correct. If you omit the `var` (or `let`/`const` in es6) then you are implicitly assigning a property on the global object (`window` in the browser), in essence setting a global variable. Never omit `var`.

If you are in a function scope, `var` declarations are hoisted to the top of the function scope, outside of any block scope, as you described. `let` and `const` declarations from es6 are block scoped. Personally I highly recommend never using `var` and simply adopting es6 and using `let` and `const`, preferring `const`, everywhere as they have significantly simpler and more intuitive semantics.
One macOS behavior this gets wrong that a lot of other clones do too: press-and-hold on menus and select boxes.

With the native widgets, you can invoke a menu item either by clicking the menu, releasing, and then clicking the item - or by pressing down on the menu, dragging to the item, and releasing.

Xel doesn't support the latter at all. Other toolkits do but get some details wrong, like

- if you release on an item that opens a submenu, it dismisses the menu (but the same doesn't happen if you click such an item after clicking the menu);

- macOS assumes you're using the press style if either the mouse moves a significant amount between pressing down on the menu and releasing, or it stays pressed for a certain interval. So if you press a menu, wait a second, and release, it dismisses the menu.
It would be great if you could detail what issues you encountered with Matrix (and/or file some bugs to help things improve). Unlike XMPP, Matrix is still considered in beta which gives us a lot of flexibility in addressing shortcomings :)

Swing is hardware accelerated, everything can be controlled down to pixel level and is fully multi-threaded.

Anyone that has spend a few hours of their life reading either the "Rich Filthy Clients" Sun blog posts or the book that came out of it, should be able to write quite good Java Swing applications.

With CSS even getting something basic like hardware acceleration, is a matter of playing with Z transforms and hopping that the user is running the right browser, with the right version on the right operating system and it will pick up those CSS hints and accelerate them.

Even then, the amount of CSS tricks is limited, because each browser and GPU makes it different and it cannot be queried for.
> As long as we're humoring what they want to pay for, we'll never have decent transit (they can walk or bike, why should they pay taxes for your bus?).

Honest question: is there really "paying for transit" hate? The only "transit hate" I've seen ranges around various forms of "it sucks" e.g. "never a bus when I need one" punctuated by "5 of the same bus at the same time" and "always late". I'm happy to pay for transit, just as I am up for sidewalks and bike lanes.

Yep. There was a bunch of unfounded hysteria around it. It has long been classified by the FDA as among the safest of food additives, "generally recognized as safe".

MSG is simply the sodium salt of glutamate aka glutamic acid, a common amino acid. Glutamate is naturally contained in a lot of foods like cheese and tomatoes, and is responsible for a taste of umami (the flavor of savory foods). Parmesan cheese in particular has a lot of glutamate.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami

MSG is an isolation of this naturally occurring substance. No research that I'm aware of has found that anyone is "sensitive" to it or that there's anything bad about it when consumed in normal amounts.

(I mean, if you tried to consume an entire salt shaker worth of table salt, or an entire bottle of Tabasco sauce, you might have a bad day. Same might be true for MSG, but a dash of all of these is safe.)

"Irrational" is a fundamentally negative term, in that it describes a subjective judgement of deficiency, so it's not a good choice to derive any proofs. I would rephrase it as "Does empiricism fuel innovation?"
Trying fuels failure, but not trying guarantees it.
You do. They also have some really smart people(I'm assuming more than one, but at least one has posted on HN about editor optimizations they have made) who seem to pull out all the stops on monaco to produce a very fast "smart" text editor.

Lots of good architecture decisions made. The marriage with TypeScript has also worked out well; it's on fire and coffee is smouldering. This helps with getting people to jump in and contribute.

>Those universities/firms that didn't have Jewish quotas and discrimination got a good boost in performance over those who had quotas and discrimination.

I'm sympathetic to this point, but this particular example assumes that the discriminating entity is focusing solely on performance. Harvard and Yale maintained and increased their social cachet over non-discriminating entities like MIT and Cornell by instituting Jewish quotas. Future donors from the majority demographic were willing to pay for "culture fit". This supposedly irrational strategy worked so well that it has been reprised and copied by other institutions against other demos. Inefficiency can be remarkably persistent if it enjoys the status of a social norm and satisfies other values.

IANAL, but this requirement is the reason I stopped using Qt for my own projects. Those terms would seem to mean anything you write using Qt can't be deployed on a closed platform.

>The state should make it less convenient

First, this is not what I was responding to. Parent claimed that restricting the freedom to use cars was not an impingement on personal freedom at all, because not everybody can drive a car. That is a different question than whether it is a tolerable infringement, and it is precisely the denial that people have a legitimate interest in car use that I have characterized as Orwellian.

Second, your comparison is equally silly. Complaining that I cannot walk on the highway is like complaining that I cannot drive my car through a building. It is normal that you cannot move literally everywhere. The question of the freedom of movement being infringed necessarily relies on the change in freedom relative to what was previously possible, and highways take up a small proportion of land which is hardly comparable to reducing by half or more the number of car-miles a person can afford to drive (or taking their car completely).

>Furthermore cars and gasoline should be taxed much more heavily to compensate for the negative externalities of cars: noise and air pollution and countless traffic victims (35.000 motor vehicle deaths in 2015 in the US alone [1]).

They are already taxed to compensate for those externalities, by requiring drivers to buy insurance policies that cover damage they may cause. There cannot always be the argument that because there are externalities, taxes must be raised. At some point the taxes have to be enough. This is yet more absurd gaslighting by rich jerks who like to push people around.

consider that much of our neuroscientific studdy is done as it was almost 20 years ago but with finer resolution.

we look at MACROSCOPTIC blood flow in the brain and try and calculate metabolic consumption of macro areas of nuerons in live brain cognition.

as much as we've learned a lot and continue to do so, the approach has and always had a fundamental limitation.

neurons behave and then consume oxygen. their behavior is NOT the consumption of oxygen. their behavior is whatever it is, including spiking and rapid expulsion and repuptake of neurochemicals from both synapses and non-synapses junctions. they also move macro molecular proteins around inside the cell. and of course------oligodentrocytes do a whole bunch of things we do not yet really even understand.

i hope and expect one day that using blood motion in the brain will be a completely obsolete method of studying the brain's underlying mechanisms of action (it will likely always be useful clinically for diagnosing certain conditions).

if it's not obsolete, it means we have not made meaningful progress to other current methods. surely if those methods progress in significat ways------they will render all current fmri totally useless and show us that at least 50% of what passed for brain science with fmri studies was at best bad science, and at worse psuedoscientific garbage done because grant money was forthcoming. or because of some foolish desire to profit off of selling pharmaceutical anti-depressants, or transcranial direct stimulation or other technolgies whose underlying mechanism is not understood and might not even be effective.

I also just finished the first Mistborn book. I REALLY enjoyed that, much more than Kingkiller Chronicles (of which I've read two books). I'm moving onto the next one and am excited that there are a number of them I can consume in this same series/world.

I thought the magic system in Kingkiller was pretty neat, and I think the same of Mistborn. It really exposed further my narrow scope because I am very used to conventional, plain magics and they were both different and unique, and well-crafted.

Paid parking actually helps with zero latency: if parking is priced such that some is always available, you can park instantly as long as you're willing to pay. It doesn't help much that the parking is free if it's full by 6AM.

Same with proportional penalty for leaving late: arrive somewhere after the free parking fills up, and you're screwed.

Same with availability: forget parking on the street at any vaguely popular time. It's not very direct if you end up in a street space 2 miles away from your destination. And maybe I would like to spend more than 2 hours somewhere.

You can see this with BART, which wildly undercharges for its parking (around $3/day). The only way to park in a BART-owned space is to travel very early in the morning, or spend years on the monthly-permit waiting list, which guarantees a space until 10am.

I'd prefer to drive 1.5 miles to my local station (uphill, or I would bike). Instead I drive 6 miles to a station with a private parking lot, because it's priced high enough ($11) that there's always an available space for me at 9:30am. I've decided those $11 are worth the hour of free time not spent on walking to my local station.
Actually there are scientific questions in regards to life long latent effects that might manifest themselves later on.

VS Code didn't start out like you think it did. More akin to life forming in a petri dish vs sitting down to design the Visual Studio replacement.

Why do you think traffic accident victims are not reasonable examples of negative externalities of cars? As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread: 35.000 motor vehicle deaths in 2015 in the US alone [1]. According to the US department of transportation [2], the total economic cost of motor vehicle crashes in 2010 is estimated to have been $242.0 billion. I don't see how you can reasonably ignore that in any discussion about transportation and cars.

Is there a decent algorithm book series that will go in detail the logic behind each question?
I'd say it is the best DB hands down. Open source or otherwise.
>"I wonder if there's a way to make money from cheaters caught in the act."

Wait, practicing problem solving is somehow "cheating"?

So we have an industry where a handful of SV companies have found that algorithmic parlor games are an indication of good hire vs bad hire. The rest of the industry has simply decided to mimic this practice with reasoning that goes "if Google's doing it it must be the right thing to do.", with no thought that Google's reality has so very little to do with their own.

So now that algorithm challenges are the bog standard for interview it would stand to reason that you would best yourself by studying or practicing some example problems. B that somehow is considered "cheating." So you are either born with these skills or you are not is that correct?

That is patently absurd.

So to weed out those who obviously did some studying we should seed the internet with misinformation in order to catch these "cheaters"? Is the thinking - if you weren't born with the skills to write a function to "search for the missing integer in a matrix that has been rotated by k elements" you probably aren't a good programmer?

Innovation tends to have many positive externalities. Whoever invents a widget probably only captures a tiny slice of the overall value it delivers to society.

Therefore, a particular level of investment can simultaneously be irrational from the perspective of an individual but rational from the perspective of society.

Overall, I'm not sure if this is a debate with an answer that will help people move forward. Everyone probably agrees that have accurate beliefs is good, all else equal. And everyone probably agrees that living a good life doesn't require you to maximize your belief accuracy at the expense of all else.

Maybe the central idea nugget is that a high degree of self-doubt will improve belief accuracy but hurt other aspects of your life, such as speed of idea generation or speed of work output. I suppose that's a trade off that we all must navigate, consciously or otherwise.
