At least, from my experience, they are. No Starch Press went above and beyond when working on my book, and they're currently getting hit hard by the counterfeiting issue.

Not like there's a need to justify anything here, but I'll go over some of what a good publisher does. Multiple waves of editing with an editor who knows you, knows your content, and works with you every step until everybody is happy. Technical review, where they seek experts who ensure the validity and accuracy of the content; just like we developers use code review, good publishers provide tech review. Copy-editing, proofreading, redrawing of graphics, constructive feedback, the list goes on. For an author, all of these steps are quite daunting, but, by then end of the process, the content is far beyond what it was upon initial regurgitation. That's not even considering the amount of marketing they do after release; getting authors radio and podcast interviews, news articles, and book signings at conferences.

Have fun soloing that and still keeping your day job.
Anyone remembers back in 93/94 hearing about HTTP and saying 'gopher, but with images? Neat! Oh, but I need a graphics terminal... damn'.
Yeah, that's not a bad suggestion, I kind of like "operators@", it's a bit shorter than "administrators@". I was also thinking about "staff@", but that's too general purpose.

That's largely a matter of opinion, and you must factor in what counts as a detriment or benefit, which varies with 4chan's goals. Arguably 4chan doesn't really have a goal, though some (particularly the alt-right type people) would say it's a detriment, and people like me or some users of non-political boards think it's a benefit, as one of the large concerns is that /pol/ is infecting other boards, despite the fact that it was made as a containment board.

Others boards such as /mlp/ however do not show such growth into other boards, perhaps because the rule against ponies is stronger than the rule against racism.
Your argument would be valid in 1950 (or 1650) but it does not apply for 2050. This whole discussion is initiated by the fact that due to changing circumstances, many adults MUST be "net consumers" in your terms, that's unavoidable, and the only question is how do we handle it ?

In the coming decades, we're facing millions and millions of people for whom the market price of their labor will be lower than the market price of their bare sustenance. We're not there yet, and especially not worldwide, but that's where the trends are pointing so we're discussing it to have a perspective of what needs to be done in the future. There's no "checks and balances" possible - they will be net consumers if they are alive.

Already there are massive industries (e.g. garment and footwear manufacturing) which are not automated only because for now e.g. offshore sweatshop labor for handful of rice a day is cheaper than doing it with robots - but it's changing as automation is becoming cheaper over time.

So that is the big question, what will we do with the growing number people for whom the society has no economical need, who must be net consumers - and there really are only two options, either the society transfers resources so that they can live a reasonable life, or it does not, and they do not live a reasonable life.

No no, that would impact free speech.

You want all large user content-handling companies to be able to tell users wanting to talk about X to go somewhere else, and it then has to be legal for those users to make that somewhere else themselves. There's enough idiots screaming about free speech on private platforms already, we don't want more of them.
There is very little literature about objectively comparing programming languages like you are asking here.
I am familiar with all of your listed sources (even attended one incarnation of the Érdi Gergő talk).

Section 3.2 of the paper absolutely does not say that the result does not hold. The main point of the construction is that typed quoted representations can preserve totality by disallowing diagonal application. Interpreting untyped quoted representations is impossible all the same, which is what I said in grandparent post.

I know Conor's views on total programming and share them, but the 2015 comment is not particularly relevant to the current topic, nor does it reflect on the folklore self-interpreter argument.

But forcing others to use unethically driven website by the means of social pressure is even more wrong. Two wrongs don't make you right.
I've recently taken a step in this direction by being really deliberate about my media choices and designing around them. For example, as a consumer, I realized I was obsessive about looking over r/Politics and forever updating news sources of sometimes dubious quality, which distracted from all productivity for me at times. I've decided to order print editions of the New Yorker, and focus on long-form pieces from ProPublica as a rule to scratch that itch.

I feel like part of the solution to reducing consumption at the very least is to realize what the initiating triggers and needs of your consumption are, and trying to find a way to sate them in a way that allows you to chunk a time to engage with high-quality solutions to your consumption needs -- and then that frees up more time to be a creator.

As for the active producer part -- the only insight I've really gathered is that you want to commit yourself to something big and imposes costs on yourself (i.e time already dedicated to that project) to make yourself follow through (i.e use the sunk cost fallacy to your advantage).
This is classic longform journalism writing, and it's the reason why I don't like longform journalism. I wish they'd give me an abstract -- not having article summaries is the reason I never found any "good" magazine worth the money. Imagine so

The cost of flat rental has risen enormously here in the past 18 months. €800 will not get you a nice flat in the centre any more. If you're lucky, you may get something OK for about €950. Lunch menus at 10 euros are not that common anymore either. €12-14 is more usual.

That said, it's the only city in the world I want to live in. I came here for a month in 2002 and never wanted to leave.

New Measurement Technique Puts Elusive Virtual Particles in Relief – Motherboard
I was using physical calendar notebooks, such as Moleskin. I also tried productivity apps like as Wunderlist or Evernote. But nothing worked for my workflow. So I made my own (Mac, iPhone, iPad) app called NotePlan (http://noteplan.co).

I have created NotePlan out of the need for a productivity app, which is not just pushing around todos or collecting them in buckets. But which resembles the way many people plan in the “real world”: Using calendars, notebooks and bullet points. If you love, Org-mode, Bullet Journal, GTD or TaskPaper, you will love NotePlan.

Here the most important features:

* One dedicated note for every day in your calendar

* A Calendar gives you an overview of all your notes

* General notes decoupled from the calendar

* Everything saved and synced with iCloud Drive as plain text

* Markdown support with custom flavour for marking tasks
Wow, that's excellent - interesting to see some of the "running" routes that don't have any cycle-data (one near me is a golf course).

It would be nice to zoom in some more, but I think even at the max zoom level I could get to I can make out some homes of Strava users, which might - for example - make targetted burglary an issue. Some error data is clearly present too, like shadowing of roads where there are systematic errors.

Thanks for the link.
>How did you find organizations/businesses/non-profits/just regular ol' people that needed help?

One rarely-discussed issue is that most organizations, even the ones that say they want volunteers, don't actually: https://jakeseliger.com/2014/06/19/most-volunteering-is-a-wa... and the volunteering infrastructure is actually more expensive and difficult to maintain than actually hiring employees.

I like the advice someone else proffered: teach coding instead. There does seem to be a lot of demand for that, and the people trying to learn are likely to be motivated.
> From reading other comments in this thread, the story appealed to them.

The story, or the writing style? I also upvoted the story, because I'm not going to punish it for the shit writing. And I actually dislike that the topmost comment, which I agree to from the bottom of my heart, is about the style; but the very fact that it's at the top means that maybe even more people find it just as annoying.

As for the style, I couldn't find it here. Is there a name for it?

Here's some shared experiences that may be applicable to your case. I am a 43 year old that struggled with procrastination all my life. Even then, I did achieve some impressive things, in various ways, over the years. Wrote a book to learn x86 assembly and got it published quite successfully when I was 21. Led the technical team of a AAA team. Built and sold a software product online for 11 years, 6 figures sales. But then I failed many times in achieved my creative goals. I think I just wasn't looking at things from the right angle.

With creative stuff: writing, music, etc... I had to find another way. Technical projects tend to be big. Don't be wrong, something like "publishing a youtube video every week" is a huge amount of work and very scary, involving time, energy, creativity, and the very logical fear of nobody giving a shoot about it.

What worked for me creatively was to bring projects down to the smallest expression. I wanted to write short fiction stories, I decided to write "tweetstories" in 140 characters. I wanted to do storytelling, did a lot of stand-up comedy, 5min sets. For music, short piano pieces. Make it such that the amount of work is not the problem. And then you will find what the real issue is.

For me, I had to accept producing bad stuff. We sometimes don't produce stuff because we're scared to produce bad stuff. And there's no way around it. You can't choose to be a good artist, but you can choose to be a bad artist. And that's the only way. Watch Ira Glass's video on creativity, he describes it perfectly.

Good luck. This is very reasonable stuff to struggle with.

It always makes me think about how when cities or nations get more wealth, they seem to value different things. Wealthier East Asian cities consistently have great public transport.

Is it just a population density thing, that there's so many people zipping around in such a small area that it pays off to spend the money on infrastructure? Is it a lower cost of labour thing? Or is it a thing that people value more and demand? I'm never quite sure.

Honey dressings were being used in some English NHS hospital settings.

This from 2008 isn't great, but it's not calling it woo: http://www.nhs.uk/news/2008/10October/Pages/Honeyandburns.as...

> There is high quality evidence that honey heals partial thickness burns around 4 to 5 days more quickly than conventional dressings. There is moderate quality evidence that honey is more effective than antiseptic followed by gauze for healing wounds infected after surgical operations.

I think "partial thickness" is called "second degree" in the US.

That's different from just pouring it on a new burn, and I definitely don't think people should do that.

I use Scala as my primary development language since 2010. My first reaction to this change was "well, this is the end of it" -- as I can't read or write anything in Python because of that.

But I looked more carefully and the proposal is more balanced. It looks more like Haskell than Python -- and Haskell's syntax is one of the best ever invented, in my opinion (too bad I am not yet that smart to casually emit production-grade Haskell code).

So, I'm fine with that.

I don't think you need to label this as a condition. I can remember when I used to get into those states. Sadly, it was an artifact of my youth.

I probably would be able to get back into that state if I somehow managed to get all my responsibilities squared away for large periods of time-or alternately, convince myself thoroughly enough to ignore them.
A way to mutate the code at runtime depending of the context (the stack frame...).
"Tidy" is very relative. We could go back to the traffic lanes example and say that streets would be tidier without lines drawn on them. But those lines look better than crashed cars and dead people. Minimalism is about removing redundant stuff, those delimiters aren't redundant unless made redundant through whitespace. I do not think whitespace is the way to go.
The proposal is carefully balanced to minimize this effect (unlike Python).

And copy-pasting is essential to writing code; if anybody tells you otherwise, they are lying. :)

Here's the part of the article where they answer the question in the headline:

About $1,500 more on pensions and Social Security.

About $2,000 more on overall housing (rent, maintenance, utilities, etc.).

About $700 more on education.

I agree with you on one level. But taking a step back, and looking at it from a much longer time perspective than is practical in business - is the problem really the programming languages giving us too much choice?

Constraining how a programming language does something because we're not yet "there" in terms of software engineering does seem a bit backwards.
