Not exactly.

In football / basketball, so much depends on chance, your team, your opponents, the referee etc. You can work more / better and still end up with worse results. Or vice versa.

In running, you mostly compete against yourself (unless you are a top athlete, but that's another story). You set your goals, you work to achieve them and it depends only on you. So yeah, grit , determination or however you call it, will make you progress, and you can measure it with an easy objective function (your time vs your past times, distance).
#555 is still quite dark and should be easy to read. The real culprit is the 300 font weight - when set to 400 it's quite another matter.

I came here to say "accessibility". It's a major weak point of a lot of software and technology.
I'm torn between whether this is cool or just massively irresponsible. Couldn't they just stock the shelves with fac similes and keep original editions for archival purposes?
I've gotta say, I'm not crazy about sanitizing realistic war movies for a PG-13 rating, as Nolan has reportedly done. Would Saving Private Ryan have the same impact with less violent imagery?
I also happen to be a Georgist: so I think that we should tax away all land rent (which is essentially unearned) and give it out equally to all members of the population. Is that still classist?

I just moved from car-dominated Sydney to pedestrian-dominated London, and the difference in quality of life from that alone is huge. (Even if Sydney otherwise has better weather and food, and more modern housing stock etc.) The inconvenience ain't small.

Somehow I'd not seen that before, thanks for posting.
This resembles how I feel about digital reference vs. hardcopy - the serendipitous accumulation of knowledge that comes from having proximity to the information you're looking for... For me, it lends to an understanding of "why" rather than "how".

I might forget some bit of esoteric syntax and I can look it up and move on with my life, but if I'm flipping through a book (or books) to find the information, I might better understand why that syntax came about. (I'm struggling with a particular instance of this which is why it comes to mind right now.)

Accepting answers instead of discovering them... maybe it doesn't scale anymore. (Insert get off lawn joke as necessary.)
Just do something you love! It really doesn't matter what degree you have or what your skill set is at the start. Passion to accomplish something or contextual enjoyment will carry you through the low points. I have multiple acquaintances that range for very to barely successful that have trusted their gut and listened to their passion. They're all happy.

I should note that I'm not talking about founding something based on your passion. One of my friends works at a bike shop and absolutely loves it. He's had to adjust his living situation and lifestyle to match his income, but the result is a happier human.

This certainly doesn't help you figure out a specific career, but my point is that the possibilities are endless just trust your gut feelings!

We're basically re-living 1880-1900. Consolidation and automation is driving the power of rentier class people.

CPI is funny about certain things... it weighs rents highly which skews things as there's an effective price floor through the "prevailing rents" that drive housing subsidy.
Detailed specs make everything easier. :) Even if you just have the part name but not necessarily all the schematic info for how it's used that will help a lot because you can usually then go find the datasheet for it and from there figure out how to replace it if you need to. Replacement might be hard or easy, it really depends on the component. Functional specs would help but aren't necessarily enough, because there's extra information in the datasheet like value and thermal tolerances that the circuit might be relying on, and analog vs digital matters too. For 555 chips, those are used in analog circuits typically as clocks, so the functional spec would be something like what clock frequency is expected on the output line and maybe the shape of the wave. A clock is trivial with an FPGA or microcontroller but you can't simply stick one in the same pins as those are for digital circuits, at least not without some converter help. You might be able to replace a big chunk of the analog circuit with a digital timer though.

Binary blobs definitely are annoying. If the circuit is using a microcontroller but you don't have the code it was programmed with then as you say it's not exactly helpful that you could buy a blank replacement. But depending on the part you can sometimes get away with not knowing the code, or even being able to dump the code, and relying on capturing raw signals with an oscilloscope (assuming you have access to a functioning device) to develop a replacement. A lot of repairs don't always leave the thing just as good as before, so it might be acceptable to have a washing machine that only does a basic cycle because no one has yet deciphered the signal sequence to make it do other types. Or sacrifice the chime functionality. On the other hand modding to make a superior replacement is sometimes possible...

The only legislation I really like is not being able to go after modders/hackers/reverse engineers/repairers, even those making a profit as a side business. Mandating some sort of standard to make those things not exceed a certain level of difficulty seems really hairy to define and undesirable in general if it means a lot of things simply won't get made at all. Mandating opening after some time period or when a device is sunset might be workable and not impose any real expense but I don't see it being implemented any time soon. For binary blobs even if it's old or not a "trade secret", it's still "IP". (FPGA companies even call their programs "IP Cores".) We can't even get Green Eggs and Ham into the public domain for like another 40 years thanks to the 1978 law changes, so I wouldn't count on government force to get companies to open software up. The best approach seems to be the combination of cultural practice within software and slowly more and more of hardware communities, and pointing out the business incentives for sharing more things.
Dell XPS 15 (2017) Review: Your Portable Workstation Has Arrived
Thanks for clarifying.

I guess my main confusion is that I don't understand the audience who would benefit from these apps. I imagine one member of the audience is someone who runs a popular blog and want to add a widget but don't want to copy and paste code.

A quick search on Google would solve my problem, or I'd hire someone on eLance to make the change for me instead of paying a monthly subscription for an app.
I live next to one of like 8 laser projection IMAX theaters. If I can't watch an eye candy movie at that theatre I prefer to watch at home since my home theatre on average out performs most screens.

How you can walk into a theatre and have it be out of focus I can't even begin to imagine. Even the sound is worse. This is an industry that needs some weeding.
What is the image supposed to demonstrate?
Yes, exactly. The article would be much stronger if it also covered ways in which unikernels either don't improve security, or are actually more vulnerable.
Great feedback, thank you. Somewhat ironically in Guildwork's case, I think that the potential in this space has really increased in the last few years as gaming services like Discord (and Twitch, Steam, etc.) have built up robust public APIs that allow you to manage all of your gaming networks at a higher level. And yeah, I agree that the screenshots are in need of a refresh, I'll be taking a look at that again soon.

Easy to spot those, they always say "Advice to management: keep doing the same things!" or similar...
There's a few strategies I recommend in the book (Marketing for Developers) for this:

1. Start with people like you – Mike from Freshbooks was a designer. So when he started his company, he focused on designers.

2. Choose a market that is easy to reach – you can test this out by writing blog posts for different markets, and see how easy it is to get traction. Another tactic: try buying Facebook ads for different segments. Which segments do you get the most engagement for? How cheap were those clicks?

3. Start small – starting with a tiny product allows you test our a market, before you invest too much time in it.
Agreed on the over-revealing trailers! For Nolan movies, just watch the teasers. Interstellar and Dunkirk both had excellent ones, that don't really reveal anything. I deliberately avoided the full trailers for each.
Even better: spend some time becoming comfortable with the most basic data structures, so you don't need to 'learn' anything. Because if someone struggles to combine swapping two values with basic tree recursion, they're probably much less skilled a programmer than they think. Even if they can google the shit out of a simple iOS app at home.
Marathons? I have people tell me this for 5ks.
that's actually good idea. I never considered negotiating this part. I thought if they pay me...

I've been called "programmer-whore" by friends (in joking manner :) ). Because I go in and fullfil wildest manager's dreams for money. Huh. Some truth to it I guess.

I hope that expression is not too vurglar to use here... sorry I'm not native English speaker.
.SU - for the Soviet Union - still exists, I somewhat doubt that many TLDs will ever be deleted in general.
Worse for all. When we render millions of people unemployed, where are people going to go?
When an exploit only needs one edge case not handled right? No, lots of unit tests means nothing. Maybe less than nothing due to the false sense of security they seem to give you.
i agree. i had will power to run a marathon just by myself - no event. I now have cervical herniated disc. No amount of my will power is useful. I just wish i had exercised common sense when my neck used to hurt after every long run.

>multiple bags of mulch, dorm room furniture, sports equipment, more than 3 kids, or just lots of luggage for a family road trip

How are these practical purposes? The mulch can stay on the lawn or you could compost it at home; moving dorm room furniture twice a year for 2-4 years does not justify a large vehicle; sports equipment sounds like an attempt to justify a few trips each year into the mountains for a trip to a Ski resort; kids make sense I feel sorry for my parents when I was a child with two siblings stuffed into a 1993 Kia Sephia during road trips, but you could also just not have kids, this is a discussion on ways to reduce climate changes effects and drivers not increase them; and if you have an occasional need for lots of luggage you can do what my parents did for the Kia and put a travel box on top.
Yeah, it's a little frustrating to have some person say to me "Oh yeah, I ran a marathon too!". Ok, yeah, you completed it... six hours slower than I did. You walked a marathon.

I'd disagree though that the grit/toughness thing to me is too emotional. My marathon time is 3:38 - reasonably fast for an amateur, but nothing blazing. ~8 minute pace. I know that getting that time faster is 100% about my commitment level. I know I could be faster, but I just don't want to invest the time and pain in it. I enjoy running, but I'm not trying to be super competitive.

So I think it is emotional for 99.9% of people. Only those .1% of people you mentioned are hitting the physical limits, as you said.

In other words, I agree with your facts, but I think the interpretation is wrong (or I'm misunderstanding). The key ingredient is the willpower, the consistency, and that comes from an emotional place.

>Literally, hundreds of people (elite marathoners, a few ultra marathoners, cross country skiiers) out of billions of people are bumping up against physiology

The human race didn't fight tooth and nail for 40,000 years to give everyone education, a code of laws and civilization, safe lives that include both work and leisure, so that I could bump into the limits of my physiology. How is that a normative goal?

There are no mountain lions chasing me whose escape pushes me to the limits of human physiology - and I for one prefer to keep it that way!
Tbh if I broke my own leg I think I'd rather have the vet do it. Every time I have had to bring a friend or family member to hospital I'm just appalled by it all.

It's interesting how even in the context of C the virtues that functional programming dials up to eleves come up.

(Git is similar: it's a dirty C program with lots of mutation under the hood, but when you use it you can sort-of pretend it purely functional, since the main things you care about are append-only, and even rewriting history just creates a new slightly altered copy of history, and the old one is available until the GC kicks in. Similar for the recent craze of copy-on-write in filesystems.)

Dear Recruiter
When receiving job openings from recruiters asking me to forward, I've been replying thusly.

"Dear Recruiter

I would be happy to forward your opportunity to all of my friends and qualified contacts, but only if it's at a professional development environment. Specifically the employer needs to offer the following to their developers.

1) First Rate Development Equipment
Typically adequate dev hardware consists of a high end PC/laptop fast processor, maximum RAM allotment, and a high resolution large screen monitor, or preferably two monitors.

2) A quiet work environment
Typically this means the developer will work in a private one person office. If that can't be accommodated, no more than two devs per office. An open floor plan is a fail.

3) an intelligent interview process
The interview process should not include any coding tests other than paired programming exercises with existing team members on real world problems. Interviews should be with technical people, contact with HR should be minimal. All candidates should receive timely, honest feedback.

4) A managed development process
either Agile or a written process with organized schedules/milestones/testing periods with task time estimates written by the people who will implement the tasks. One that allows devs to produce high quality code on reasonable schedules without accruing excessive technical debt.

If any of the four is not true, your clients don't value good development process and I can't recommend their position to anyone."

> The founder discloses that an umbrella costs the company 60 yuan ($8.82 USD) each to replace

Last time I bought an umbrella (in the US), it retailed for $5. It sounds like the rental aspect is just making the umbrellas unnecessarily expensive to produce; the true form of this business would get rid of the whole rental aspect and make vending machines.
Actually I have. Both Elixir and Erlang. I find it way harder to manage in dynamic langs than in static ones. Up to point I'd always pick static instead of dynamic.

If I see some OOP madness, in statically typed lang, I remember how bad it can be in dynamic one.

Dont take it the wrong way. I know a lot of programmers, personally, which are dynamic programming fans, are and kickass coders. But it doesn't work for me.
> If it never becomes arbitrarily cheap, it will always be a constraint.

I agree. But to use words inspired by mathematical optimization: it's more of a cost than a hard constraint.
Have you been to a real IMAX? They have massive screens that are sort of square-ish as shown on the right. As the article mentions, Nolan films parts of his movies with this bigger aspect ratio. Most movies, when projected on IMAX, still only take up a small portion of the screen due to the aspect ratio. In a Nolan film, like the Dark Knight or Interstellar, during certain scenes the aspect ratio will open up so that you are viewing image on the entire multi-story screen. It is an amazing experience and really immerses you into the movie like nothing else; it takes up your entire visual field.
I've seen analyses that suggest that 70mm is roughly equivalent to 8K resolution, once digitized. Given that 8K cameras exist, and would presumably allow as much shooting as you can attach auxiliary storage capacity, what's the advantage to shooting in analog 70mm instead, especially if you're going to end up digitizing anyway?
If you're not known enough about China, you should not claim "That is a lot of money for a working class Chinese person." Actually, 19 yuan is ignorable for working class Chinese person. You can only buy about 1 hamburger in McDonalds, or buy 0.5 kilogram pork, or buy a bowl of noodle by using 19 yuan (delicious noodle costs at least double). China has changed a lot. If you have time, you can visit Shanghai, Beijing, and many other cities. You'll find they're all modern and safe cities, and you'll find your claim is totally wrong.
Healthcare user experience sucks. Last century kind of sucks. Find a job at Cerner or Epic who account for more than half of all hospital information systems and help clinicians avoid tragic errors, make faster and better decisions, understand health records more clearly, capture ideas/observations/memories.
Japan has the original umbrella sharing economy. All umbrellas look the same (black handle, white or transparent top), are very cheap (a few hundred yen = a few dollars at any convenience store) - as a result, people aren't attached to theirs. Leave yours at the door when you enter a store or some such, take one when you leave - it might be yours or not. If it's not raining anymore when you leave, just leave it there.

It's wonderful - I've had many nights leaving a bar late when it was pouring and hadn't brought an umbrella with me, and the empty bar had a half dozen available by the door.

Turns out that it's very rare that you arrive with one, need one when you leave, and can't find one.

The average person I know has employer-provided insurance and doesn't think a bit about the costs of procedures.

While that has been true for decades, in my experience, those employer-provided plans are beginning to transfer some of the cost to the consumer through higher deductibles and copays.

My last few visits to the doctor tend to support this, as in both cases, the doctor offered cost-saving options and advice.
Do they charge people an additional price if the umbrellas aren't returned within a specified period of time?
Seems like that would solve this problem, and that's what most (all?) bike-sharing services do.
Yeah, going to be an unpopular opinion here: Sci-Hub submissions were, in fact, illegal, even if it did do more to democratize access. As such, I don't feel like they should receive this money. A company trying to accomplish democratization legally should be getting this money. That, or change copyright law.

This used to be true, but since Android M and N, where a lot more animations were added, a lot of animation now happens on separate GPU layers (and is rendered, if necessary, by separate threads).

This was especially necessary due to many of the ripple animations being introduced.
Thank you. Now I have to figure out what it is :)

I always say that if I wasn't so good with computers I'd be a surgeon, haha. That was my #nr2 plan, if I fail in CS.
Um, yeah, the problem is someone setting an arbitrary limit because it was easier to implement. To argue otherwise is basically to claim that there is no possible justification for a deep stack, which, well, good luck proving that. Anyway, even if I don't like all that abstraction (I don't), I may not have a choice in platform (or logging system), so blaming useless syslog messages on the app developer is adding insult to injury. Not that blame is terribly useful when the best course of action is to just burn the whole thing down and start over. :)
Can confirm. Three births, hospital/insurance both effed up the billing on all three. If we hadn't been vigilant and wasted hours, and hours, and hours, on the phone and in one case gotten our state rep and the state insurance board involved we'd have been out several thousand dollars that we shouldn't have had to pay. I hate to think how much we didn't catch. Similar stories from others, plus tales from non-pregnancy major medical procedures that shake out similarly, though are even harder to sort out.

Everything that touches healthcare billing is scammy, incompetently managed, and often outright fraudulent. Good luck getting any compensation or justice other than what you were originally entitled to, though.
