TLH only comes into play with taxable accounts. I would bet a lot of VGs AUM is from tax advantaged accounts.

Even in taxable accounts TLH is really oversold. It's another way to shift taxes around, which can be good, but the obvious methods of maxing out tax advantaged accounts should be done first.
How  to Optimize a Mobile Site
I don't use it all that much at the moment. I've mainly replaced it with various language references that are my first port of call.
I'm too young to comment properly (sadly, only just). Though I'll admit that was the first language I learned in high school outside the Turing learning language.
Another way to put it -- it's not so much that ordering by something other than date is an issue, it's that ordering by date is (one of) the only neutral ways to sort. Anything else introduces a bias to some degree. Popularity of posts may be another way, although this gives older posts undue weight.

Sorting by an opaque algorithm gives FB the power to control the conversation.
Tracking indexes and buying and selling stock is not free in time or money. And the fees Vanguard charges for doing so are quite marginal. It probably doesn't make sense to even think about doing something like that until AUM is $10MM+. For more pedestrian account balances, if one wanted a market cap-weighted portfolio, one wouldn't even be able to purchase a single share of a huge swath of companies.
That could be fun...

In my case the language's official reference is enough i.e. I know what I'm looking for just need to remember what it looked like. I end in SO sometimes when looking for some discussion on general concepts i.e. advantages of X over Y, but even then it's not always very helpful.

I have suspected that facebook punishes your visibility if you don't post frequently (like a few times a day). Have you tried posting much more often than two times a month? Try two a day and see if your average engagement increases.

It's the app you're being pushed heavily into downloading (even by iOS itself as it is the "accessory accompanying app" as detected by the OS when connecting the headset), for things like updating the headset firmware and setting the bluetooth device name.
Depends what question you're trying to answer.

If the question is "Is this the greatest antibiotic ever", well, sure you'll want to compare it against a slew of other compounds. But if your question is "does this increase the speed of healing at all?" as a first test before later, more complex experiments, then this seems fine to me.
Bose describes the Bose Connect app as being for firmware updates and advanced settings tweaking (noise reduction, sharing music between two headphones, etc). No mention of traffic monitoring and/or distribution to ad scum.
The purpose of this hardware is to render high resolution graphics at high frame rates. Are there any comparative benchmarks available? There is a lot of discussion of the hardware, but few if any metrics of the resulting performance.
Re: #3 – that's a huge claim to toss around without showing the numbers you used including the full cost to manage your own VMs. Yes, Lambda can get more expensive but staff time is also significant and many tasks don't get enough volume to outweigh saving even a developer hour or two per month.
The point is that it's interesting to infer trends. This is not the supposed to be the authoritative source for what people are doing during day and night. It's just interesting and you can glean some patterns for sure. Stack overflow is hugely popular and millions of developers use it.

Some people I guess are just so bright that they don't need it. That is not most people.
Well, what kind of things do you look up?

I have found a lot less need to look up things like "are there optional parameters in .len()?" because the IDE helps with that.

I need to look up strange errors that I don't understand. (Like when you install a new library and your code breaks). Those are almost never in the official documentation because they didn't plan for it.
You're right about government spying, but my argument isn't specific to government so let's set that aside and talk more generically.

Bike theft: stealth, in my list above -- someone acted while you weren't attentive. You didn't hand over the bike, so you're not to be blamed. Even if you used no lock whatsoever, I wouldn't blame you. You could've done more, but you need to weigh the benefits against the burden of a massive lock so there's no perfect way out.

Rape: force, in my list above. You had no ability to change the outcome. I wouldn't blame you.

Hacked via social engineering: You spilled the beans. Spilling beans is avoidable with some practice, awareness, logic... this is not the same category as the others. I don't say "this is all you're fault," of course not. But unlike the bike thief and the rapist, all you had to do was ignore the attack.
Not really. They aren't better than Fidelity or Schwab for the vast majority of people, their brokerage accounts are all very, very similar.

Plus Schwab and Fidelity both offer better additional products. Both offer totally free, no catches, ATM reimbursement, no minimum balances, no fees alternatives to a checking account. Fidelity also offers a no annual fee 2% cash back on everything credit card.

Vanguard has a different cooperate structure, however, if that's important to you.

I don't get the quote. Isn't a visit from the plumber scheduled? You know he's coming at 2 pm, so maybe plan to not be in the hardest problem then.

In fact, the quote gives an example of why remote working is awesome. The author can get basic house chores and repairs done without doing a scheduling dance with people who also work 9-5.
How Can DevOps Teams Overcome Their Daily Frustrations?
Oh gotcha with the cost basis raising over time. I wonder what strategies you could use to mitigate that. Perhaps buying a similar asset, holding that instead of the other, wait for the original to go down, and then re-purchase. Seems fragile and risky of course...
Nice. Wrangler is my poison of choice, but stumbled upon a 70s-era Defender near my house recently, and a co-worker owns an even older one. Beautiful vehicles.
If their algorithm causes such a positive feedback loop that only the most vapid of our content is seen I argue that is still Facebook's problem.

Nearly 10% is an awfully large percentage of people to be permanently disenfranchised for a one-time mistake. And it's easily possible to collect a felony conviction for something as trivial as shoplifting - the vast majority of shoplifters being mentally ill and not hardened criminals.

At the same time, it seems a bit much to say "your life as you know it is over". Lots of people don't vote or own guns anyway.

Hi, thanks! How did you get it running with your midi controller?
Really depends on what your work is. In the Python world, good docs are a real priority for many libraries which often answer the common questions. I probably read a relevant SO answer to a problem I'm working on 1 or 2 days a week now but when I first started programming it was much more.
It was amazing, and definitely what they could do with such little resources is breathtaking. One of the top games of my childhood.

I had the original box and manual, I hope I still have them.

The only viable forms of government i see now is a benevolent enlightened dictator or a scientocracy.

The only way to remove manipulation is to remove emotion from politics. So you either need someone who knows what needs to be done and can't be influenced otherwise, or a system that is not easy to influence, like one based on facts and evidence.

Enlightened dictator is a high risk high reward type of deal though, even if he is awesome then there are no guarantees afterwards. Basically rolling dice. Of course you need to do other things too, like restricting the influence of money in politics, but even with decent politicians the masses are vulnerable to manipulation by various interests. That really is the Achilles heel of democracy. So the system needs to be transparent and based on the scientific method. It really is the only way to remain impartial and objective.

We have a long way to get there however, so I think a short term solution is to invest in education. I know it's kind of a platitude and also imperfect, but history and research has shown that education really is the defining factor between the good and the bad. A democracy needs an educated populace, monarchy was fine and natural for certain times because it pretty much the only thing that could have worked when 95% of the populace was illiterate and relatively stupid. Sudden democracy in the Middle Ages would have been a disaster. Unfortunately there seems to be a trend of anti-intellectualism recently is certain places like the UK and US. Make no mistake, whether it is deliberate or not, it is exactly what many interests want. Dumb people are much easier to manipulate.

Oh yes, when there is nothing to look up, I guess you won't look something up.

Results, impact, relationships. If you can create all three working from home great. The first can be done from home easily, the second with some difficulty, and the third is exceedingly difficult.
Same here it's a odd to see someone who doesn't use it, they must have A. sufficient time to read books on the language B. have it remembered C. possibly work with a language that doesn't evolve much.

Now that I think about it why isn't there canonical questions/answers from most voted SO questions? Sure top ranked questions and answers usually are very well explained, but I think there could be more done in the way of removing friction by rewriting them so they adhere to some sort of convention/standard and then maybe turn them into structured types like jigsaw puzzle pieces and you'd only need those to program anything.

> due to an endemic national fear that, perhaps, the imperial acts committed in their name will come home to roost..

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, most people I know don't know much about what we did during the age of empire and the rest broadly think Empire was a good thing for the countries we conquered.

Yes, but they're also out $400 on every customer. And those customers can now very easily switch to a different juice provider without losing any "investment" they made in hardware.

I can't find any info on their site about subscription pricing (always a red flag) but this whole thing seems absurdly stupid. I'd be amazed if they managed to scale this in such a way that shipping refrigerated juice to individual customers is more affordable than people picking it up in the store/receiving it with their normal grocery order.
Just be aware that the animation makes it look like everyone is using Haskell in the evening. That's false and caused by normalization. Other languages are still more used.
One thing i've seen is the importance of righteous anger in getting what you want.

The primary job of a manager is to keep the employees happy. Since this realization makes them glorified babysitters, they'd rather hire people who can fake happiness so they don't have to care about things kike team cohesion and attrition.

If your project gets cancelled that you've worked hard on, you are entitled (in american culture) to be angry and then reigjteously demand compensation. It even is a reasonable justification for a job switch.

This focus on a fair world and individual sovereignity or sanctity is unique to american culture. In many other cultures there is distinct social stratification that allows upper levels to trample lower levels with no ill effect. This of course still happens in the US but it can't be obvious or egregious. It must be roundabout.

Without this righteousness, it's hard to rise in the american workforce. It may even be a reason managers like Indians and Chinese H1Bs so much. The immigration status plus the cultural bias towards deferrence are very attractive for lazy managers.

People are coming to realize though, that managing a team is actually the ONLY value a manager provides for knowledge/creative work. Those that see it as babysitting often think of their core job as "strategy" when in practice they are ignoring their core job to play politics.

They can't be completely removed as they act as buffers for righteous anger from up high and down low as well as diffusion centers intra-team. Without a sense of righteous anger though, you have very little mobility in the US workforce. (It may be a detriment in China/India) It actually plays in a larger theory of mine that the middle class is primarily guilt-driven, and the way to get people to do things is to tap into their sense of guilt. Righteous angers makes people feel that they've wronged you and activates some sort of instinctive tipping 15%-20% behavior.
The biggest player using Haskell would be Google.
I'm genuinely sorry about your situation. It seems like this is one of those cases in which management couldn't resist the short-term cost savings. I would wager this is a pretty common occurrence and I can see where you're coming from...and I completely agree. In this case its most likely not going to work out in the long term.
That's not the only incident of inane situations due to blind adherence to union rules that I saw, just the most egregious. Even among union workers the rules were sometimes unpalatable like the strict seniority rules that make it impossible to hire the best person for the job since the most senior person gets his/her pick of new jobs -- they supported the rules only because they knew that one day they would be the senior one.

I don't think "losing respect for all Chinese because one wasn't acting rationally" is a fair analogy, more like "losing respect for all Chinese because they not only follow arbitrary and counter-productive rules, but they actively support them and will fight to keep them"

I use SO somewhat frequently when learning a new language and gaining an understanding of the idioms. However, lately I've been using languages and libraries that I know well so I haven't run into many things that stump me to the point of turning to Google.
Well C doesn't ship with the GC described, so it must include some additional runtime beyond the C library.
Thanks!

I used to follow it a few years ago, but for some reason it fell off my radar, I imagine now there are tons more reviews than when I left it.

It inspired me to do a nostalgia-fueled replay of all Ultima games(1-8), a couple of years ago.

That's right: Haskell is disproportionately used in the evenings, but it's not highly used at any time. You can see in the 4th graph that of the 250 languages considered, Haskell is one of the lowest traffic.
Not the GP, but I don't use SO much. Maybe two or three times a year.

For why?

SO tends to be problem solving around programming patterns or unclear errors.

In the languages I have the most experience in, I don't need either. I can usually just reason out a solution to any problem that crops up. I know how to debug, and reduce problems "fluently" in those languages.

Most problems get solved in the time it takes to make a cup of coffee.

Secondly, if you're looking at patterns, like "do x in y", then for new patterns, RosettaCode tends to give you all you need, but if it's a somewhat familiar pattern, it shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes with no guides.

But, truth in it all, SO just isn't that useful for the problems I come up against.

Recent example: Is a Associated List or UNORDERED_map more memory effecient under GCC?
Is this done in EST/EDT? Does it account for developers in India, US, Europe, etc simultaneously or does it convert the time stamps to say, UTC?
Switching from a beefy i7 desktop to an ancient core2 laptop occasionally did that for me. I'm pretty sure however, that if I tried to use that as a permanent productivity trick my ability for distraction would quickly adapt.
There have been a bunch of 20% projects; but only recently have they started any full-time Haskell work, as far as I know.
I also almost never get on SO anymore, but I used to all the time. For me, SO was really great when I was a beginner (< 5-ish years professional software work), or using very new, rapidly changing tools where community Q&A is vital to helping solve That Big Problem.

After enough pain, I've decided that stability is probably the most important feature of a tool. Clojure, ClojureScript, MySQL, and Mongo fit that bill perfectly for me. When looking at libraries and APIs, I try to get a gut-sense of how stable they are, and I never upgrade if my only reason for upgrading is there's a new version number out there. Also, I make a lot of sub-projects, so that any breaking-change upgrades I need to make for legitimate business reasons are isolated to one .jar.

I'm also an Ubuntu -> Mac convert for the same reason. My time is just too valuable these days to lose money on tooling, and that keeps me off SO. :-)

Please don't take this as "SO is bad" -- I think it's really great, and have answered several questions there, voted in elections, etc.. But these days, experience and stability in tooling have the side-effect of not much SO time.
I think even if you have a recipe for banana caper bean salad people will still be turned off.
Not the person you were replying to, but...

I don't use SO much, either. My professional work (presently) consists of two things:

1. Writing web services (can't go into much more detail)

2. Developing (what will soon be released as) an open source framework for service orchestration (also can't go into much more detail)

This is all written in Go.

Technologies used: MongoDB, Kafka, gRPC, REST/HTTP

I'm familiar enough with the semantics/specification of the above tech, so most of the unknowns boil down to (occasional) lack of familiarity with the libs used. In that case, I'll occasionally read the documentation; more often I'll read the generated godocs; and most often I'll just grep/peruse through the code for a couple minutes, and then I'm set for the next couple weeks.

Granted, I have used SO more in the past. In those cases, it was because of stuff like futzing around with Grunt/Gulp in a JS project, or dealing with APIs trying to be too cute via metaprogramming (Ruby, I'm looking at you), etc. It calls to mind a quote[1] that resonates quite well with me:

"One reason people's skills plateau is because they try to master
simplifying extrinsic complexity, and not intrinsic complexity."

"My concern is that if everyone is in the passive investing boat then we're no longer following the market, we're making the market, and it's a big departure from the philosophical under-pinnings behind the idea of passive investing."

I'm intrigued by your suspicion ... but I can't put my finger on the exact manner that this might play out ... it's really hazy.

It seems to me that the effect of everyones money going into index funds would be that firms large enough to be in the index would have less and less pressure to issue dividends ... if there is a ready market of buyers of your stock based solely on your size then why bother ?

If money flows, by autopilot, into an asset class wouldn't we expect that asset class to return less and less as time goes on ?

He's justifying the large monetary penalty for NOT working at home by mentioning that it takes in account income tax as well.

I can't see why this is any kind of danger. Companies end up subjectively with "too much capital" all of the time in this market without being part of a large index. Look at tesla.
I think it depends on the person.
For me, it worked great during the first 6 months and then gradually got worse after that.

I think it's related to the level of autonomy that you have within a company and how passionate you are about the work.
It's one thing if your community is dying economically. It's a different story if your area is doing great economically, but housing is so restricted that only a narrow subset of people can live there. Especially since government (via zoning) is creating the artificial scarcity in the first place.
There are non-temporal loads and stores that bypass the cache, but last I checked the non-temporal loads don't actually work with cacheable memory types - this may have changed by now.

The cache partitioning in Broadwell can help with this. If you have a very noisy background task that accesses a lot of data (e.g. like garbage collection scanning), you could partition it with a small slice of cache so that it doesn't evict the data the rest of your application uses. I got myself a Broadwell Xeon v4 for my desktop specifically so I could play with this feature.
