It's hard to look for insight, or code. It's easier to search for blog posts because they are natural language. I am a coder and I very much appreciate all the great code that has been written, but it's often the blog articles, news and how-to instructional posts that point you to that code.

There's just so much code that the best way to find it is to follow pointers to new libraries or paradigms or even concepts. So yes, the blogs and posts might get more attention, but often because they explain or link to something more substantial. They aid in discoverability (if that's a word these days).

Sure, some people might be able to build karma based on nothing but one-liners – a skill by itself I guess – but in the end, most things would have to provide some value in the form of knowledge or a link thereto. I don't think you can sustain interest if you don't provide something of insight – assuming an audience of some intelligence.

I think there's real value in being able to write about the code and ideas behind your software because nobody's going to wade through millions of random lines to get the big picture or to find out if it's good or even relevant. And this probably goes for science in general, too. Good writing can raise interest and pull in some more people.
Is this actually true? Is there anyone here who was an adult in the 60s / 70s who can attest to this?

Even then it would be anecdotal.

If we've got data let's go with the data. If all we've got is opinions let's go with mine.

I'd probably not be inclined to borrow a thing if it cost next month's cash to replace it when I break it.

I would be more inclined to hire a thing from a company who hires things. That way, if it breaks, no one is put out.
Yep, all installations and upgrades are transactional, and can be undone or rolled-back transactionally

Good point. Im going to implement this, although its probably not possible to make it an atomic operation.
I agree this is currently a problem, the solutions are currently either too heavy weight, or too limited ( https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup).

What I've been wanting to do is to add a better alternative to the dpkg suite, something that can generate a fully functional repo, matching current standards, something like a dpkg-genrepository or similar (which would supersede dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansources, and perhaps even major parts of mini-dak, which would avoid the need to rewrite it from scratch).

Only in a classical universe, not a quantum one. The past is encoded in a way that the future is not because our classical universe emerges from a quantum universe through the creation of entanglements, which is what defines the arrow of time.
The only advantage React has is a huge backer..Facebook.

So large companies are more open to using it because it's less risk and has higher chance of being around in 5 years than a framework without a huge backer.

That's my theory on how 'biz' people make I.T. decisions.
I love this overall concept. In LA a startup launched last year that will not only rent you the random stuff you don't need to buy, but they actually drop it off & pick it back up from you (www.joymode.com). They organize it all by experiences (ie not so much about tools) but instead here are things you need for backyard movie night, or camping, or pasta making etc. I'm a big fan of owning fewer things... frees people up to move more easily (not being able to move homes is huge cause of under-employment).

That was a great project - it showed more nuance in how people communicate. Interesting observations too; got a good laugh at the fact that oft noted doctors' ownership of most unreadable handwriting prize translates to other fields:

Some diversities are gender driven. Nearly 90% of drawings in which the chain is attached to the front wheel (or both to the front and the rear) were made by females. On the other hand, while men generally tend to place the chain correctly, they are more keen to over-complicate the frame when they realize they are not drawing it correctly. One of the most frequent issues for participants was not knowing exactly how to describe their job in short. The most unintelligible drawing has also the most unintelligible handwriting. It was made by a doctor.
I tend to find that I can't trust those who borrow my things to actually care for my things. They come back absolutely broken.
HEADLINE: Easy way to use multiple screens with different DPI

DESCRIPTION: Many laptops (e.g. Macbook Pro) come with retina screens, but most of us use 'regular' monitors. Even after setting org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor and playing with xrandr, it can be difficult or impossible to get a single external non-retina display set up in the right position and without one screen containing tiny text (or huge text).

Being able to make it work at all, and persist after a reboot, would be great. Having per-monitor scaling in the Display settings panel (or in 'Arrange Combined Displays') would be amazing.

DISTRIBUTION: I've experienced this with jessie. I haven't tried with stretch.

It doesn't have to be done in a bad/incompatible/new way. Here's what I did for an API I worked on recently supports JSON and XML:

The general route for a resource is an endpoint that can serve both application/json and application/xml, the ".json" route identifies an endpoint that will serve only application/json and ".xml" identifies an endpoint that will serve application/xml.

None of that conflicts with normal content negotiation, and normal conflict resolution is used. So if the client were to send a request to a .json endpoint with Accept: application/xml it would get a 406 response.

The problem it solves is to make it straight forward to send ad hoc API requests from a browser but still control the format. The browsers I work with don't generally make it easy to specify an accept header. This is useful for demos, issue investigations, and ad hoc testing.
Is there anything more here than a couple of scripts that start and stop ec2 instances when you manually provide an instance id?

I was once asked a very very specific question about a conflicting setting in an nginx config and the dude actually wrote the config on the whiteboard and asked me how I would make it work.

I stared at it for what felt like minutes and then said, if I looked in your search history would I see you looking this up on stackoverflow?

The guy said "yes" and I said I would make it work by asking you to send me the link to the stackoverflow answer.

He laughed and said "you got me".

Same company different interviewer asked me to explain the "pros and cons of Java vs Rails."

I turned the job down.
It could be beneficial for a Linux distribution sticking to only one tool to be able to build a common Workflow around it. For example Debian only uses one bug tracking system which might not be what everyone likes most but imagine what a nightmare it would be if everyone would set up their own solution for their package.
After being burned really badly by Ember and Meteor, I'm probably never going to use tools that are all-in-ones ever again.

With React I get something laser-focused, just does 1 thing well and that's it. With Vue, I have to buy into the entire ecosystem.

I don't want to experience what I did with ember and meteor ever again in my professional life. I think about all the great developers I've worked with and I looked up to, and almost all of them hated all-in-ones. I rolled my eyes when I was younger, but today it's like damn these guys had a point!

> ps: and line 666??? who the hell keeps a single source-code file that big? no wonder bugs are around...

Why would you expect there to be a relationship between source file size and bugs?

Suppose a program has 100 functions, and each function is 10 lines plus on average 4 lines of comments.

If I organize it as a single file, it will be about 1500 lines.

If I organize it as 10 files, they will each be about about 150 lines.

But when I'm actually working on the program I'll be seeing it through a window that shows the same amount regardless of whether the program is one big file or 10 smaller files.

Since I see essentially the same thing in both cases, I don't see how the bug rate will be different.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying it is OK to always put everything in one file. There are times when good design requires multiple files. For example if a program must use global variables and the language supports globals that can only be references within the file containing them, then organizing files around which globals functions need access to might be a good idea and help avoid bugs.

But in that case it is not the size of the files that matters. It is their data access needs.

Neat! Any insight into why you used PuLP for modeling the optimization problem? I'm looking into good python optimization modeling libraries. Right now I use the Julia JuMP package, but pure python would be nice.

>WCAG is hardly onerous to comply with

This is pretty much the argument by which all legislation is passed. It will ultimately be the weight of all legislation in the end that will leave the internet in the hands of only large corporations and leave the people without a free internet.

You will also never get what was originally intended. Laws will be passed for regulation which will be turned over to a regulatory agency which will be lobbied by the most powerful corporation which will in turn implement rules for exclusively their benefit outside of the original intent.
When I was studying at MIT people would knock on my door all the time to borrow tools, cables, kitchen gadgets, and various other things that I typically had. I didn't mind at all. I think we need to reduce the amount of "stuff" in the world and share more.

Since I graduated and in the Bay Area now I realized that my closest friends, and pretty much anyone I knew, is no longer located next to me. Every time I want to borrow something it involves figuring out when someone living 20km away from me will be available, worry about bothering their schedule and making them stay home when they don't want to be, and then spending $25 on Uber rides* round trip to get it, and then another $25 on Uber rides to return it to them later. In most cases I could just buy that drill off Amazon for less than $50 instead.

*I don't own a car because I avoid using a car when not necessary (e.g. commuting with a bicycle and public transportation), only need a car for occasional hiking trips and events, and believe in sharing, and my Lyft+Uber+Zipcar+Enterprise costs per month are less than the cost of car ownership.

Oh, now I see the source of my confusion. In your first reply, I got meaning of "inadequate" wrong (probably because this word is so abused by russian natives today).

I'm sorry for your main counterargument graying, because it actually clears the "dark" side of my notice. That said, I'm not ready to simply close my eyes on the rhetorical curve I found. Chukovsky was very popular (even iconic), but propaganda wasn't so. I definitely read several books filled with invasive ideology, but can't tell that it was a big influence or someone can cite these from memory. Personally I'm not very old though, SU ended short after I went to school.

Decades to break even means like 5% ROI. Given how nobody seems to know where to stuff money these days (especially pension funds), the main concern is increasing the probability of success (i.e. make the risk profile match the returns).
I make a rough plan of my next day the night before, and then flesh it out in the morning while I'm having my first cup of coffee. I felt there was a bit too much friction when using a calendar app or reminders app for really granular hour by hour planning, so I built my own iPhone app:

Featurewise, no (not yet).
However i think my aproach, using a single encrypted file for all secrets is somewhat more secure as it does not leak information like what sites are managed by the password manager.

I guess you could also argue that by using AES, passmgr has the advantage of being post-quantum secure, if that is important to you.

"But lots of insurance companies operate on the risks you mention, floods, earthquakes. "

Where this does happen there's usually a fairly low liability cap, some sort of hybrid private/public partnership or a combination.

"Also I think health care will always have to be capped at some point, because with arbitrarily high investments, you could presumably keep people alive indefinitely (heart fails - attach heart machine. Lung fails - attach lung machine...). That is why in the UK afaik they don't pay for dialysis once you reach a certain age."

The UK is almost entirely communist (this is a description, not a slur) in the way funds are allocated. They base funding decisions on something called QALYs - quality adjusted life years.

The practical upshot is that expensive operations that will add 6 months of painful life for an elderly patient are not prioritized under the NHS whereas operations that could save a newborn child's life have virtually no funding limits.
C++ optimization [pdf]
I agree with the general notion, but I fail to see how one would consider Vue an all-in-one, its feature scope and actual size in KB are much closer to small, view focused frameworks such as React.

Cross country competetion would really suck because of the varying levels of wellfare across the EU.

Between Belgium France and the Netherlands, there isn't much of a problem. However, if you start comparing e.g. the Netherlands with Romania, things get weird. Those consumer markets are vastly different, Romania is much cheaper.

I'd expect that, due to differing expectations of infrastructure building a network in Romanio would also be cheaper.
The problem is, that you have to move for every new job. Our parents and grandparents lived in the same very spot for decades.

Typically: DSLR, large aperture normal zoom lens, 2 or more external strobes, softboxes, reflectors, tripods, and flash triggers.

Have a look at Strobist which is specifically aimed at flash photography.

Otherwise just look in photo or recipe books, food blogs and shamelessly steal until you get the hang of layout.
You guys do realize that reversing a linked list is not 'solving a difficult programming puzzle'? Seeing the number of applicants that can't read lines from a file (in any given language), I'd say this question is adequate if you want to employ someone with programming experience.

It's not always about growth. Making it easier to meet your needs like this project does, replaces the need for that piece of income/job/growth so is still an economic positive in that way.

This easier path to consumption means the time/effort needed to own these things previously can be redeployed in a productive way.
I think in a time when one might not know one's neighbors well, it might help to have an inventory of things available --we would know who has an awl or a wet vacuum, etc.
Vue.js is a step backwards, relative to React, in my opinion. What I love about React is JSX (or TSX if using TypeScript). JSX is a combination of JavaScript and HTML syntaxes. You don't need to learn a new syntax in order to incorporate loops and conditionals in the view layer, thanks to JSX: you just use JavaScript. More importantly, you get compile-time verification. If you use a JavaScript variable in JSX and someone deletes that variable you find out about this issue at compile time. This is very important for large projects that multiple developers are working on together. Angular and View.js don't have this capability and that's a very serious shortcoming for large projects.
It's the best parts of Angular and React in one framework. I don't know why you'd want to use anything else.
I think it's pretty normal for Debian (or any distro) to support software beyond the normal upstream support.
I lived in a city that had a Tool Library; similar concept for tools.

I once lived out of two bags for 11 months. After living in a one bedroom apartment by myself for about a year, I was surprised just how much I had to sell, give away and git rid of. I even tried to keep in my head that I wasn't /really/ buying anything, but basically renting it until I took off again. I always tried to buy used or from thrift stores whenever possible.

The other option is to buy used items that strongly retain value, like camera lenses. Most of my glass is worth about the same as when I bought it from eBay, because there's nothing that really depreciates and good lenses are good lenses.

You did not adress the issue, you mentioned it without solving the complications it brings to your theory.

Quantum mechanics and entanglements have nothing to do with the thing you are trying to explain. It's all thermodynamics and entropy. Memories can formed only by increasing entropy. Thus personal time flows from lower entropy to higher entropy.
Customers can opt out of the "contract". If citizens can't, some of them will have very bad experiences. That's true even if most citizens are able to affect the terms of the contract in meaningful ways. Some citizens simply do not have that privilege, and occasionally their happiness is contingent on the possibility of escape.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourism_in_India

> The Medical Tourism Market Report: 2015 found that India was "one of the lowest cost and highest quality of all medical tourism destinations, it offers wide variety of procedures at about one-tenth the cost of similar procedures in the United States."

medical tourism is a multi-billion dollar industry in India with American and European patients accounting for the largest share.

I'm not talking about cutting edge research here. Possibly there's no comparison there. But I'm talking about something that's practical, applicable and real medical care.

Yes, but I believe the previous point is that standards are typically adhered to by consent. Not by government force.

Allowing government to fine or shutdown sites not complying with some set of standards is a very chilling path to go down.
This is basically a rental service with a fixed yearly fee, so I guess they could draw up some sort of standard rental contract similar to the one that Home Depot uses. Maybe add some large ugly warning stickers, too.

Unless your content is for kids, where they probably don't have the choice to watch them or not, why not monetize?

If it's your viewer's choice whether they see ads or not, and if the money might help you provide more or better content, it could be a win-win.

US has debt which costs more than 0.6% annualized so no even by the most optimistic analysis, it was a direct net loss.

It depends on how you calculate it but, actual costs where over 50 billion net loss. But, it was really important for politicians to point to it as a 'success' so there is more than a little creative accounting going on.
it always amazes me how one person project such as vuejs and laravel can compete against with the frameworks made by giants such as google and facebook. yes there are more developers involved in vuejs and laravel now but the two main authors are still the king to rule these two extremely popular projects, truly amazing.
It's a bit disingenuous to say that Facebook uses Vue for Newsfeed. It's on a marketing site, not on a performance and business critical part of the site.

These marketing sites are very often built by contractors, not FB engineers, and tend to be one off efforts.

Not to knock Vue, but it weakens the message when deliberately misleading info like this is used
