Unless you're young and have a slim build it's very difficult to look sharp in a full suit. It'll have to be carefully tailored (especially if off-the-rack), and the moment you gain or lose a few pounds it can look bad again. As with all things style you can more than compensate with attitude, but an outgoing, forward, and attention-grabbing personality isn't something programmers are known for. So it's a very expensive proposition.

Baggy pants and a baggy t-shirt look horrible but you won't stand out in a room of programmers. A poor fitting suit will stand-out in the worst possible way--it'll look horrible aesthetically and reflect either neediness, incompetence, naivety, or some combination thereof.

If I had the money I'd wear a tailored suit every day. Not because I want to look flashy, but because I know dressing well matters[1], and because I'd love to be one of those guys with a closet of nearly identical suit "uniforms" that would remove all choice from dressing in the morning. Plus I'd have to professionally launder everything, so much less laundry. You can do something similar with denims and a casual shirt, but for various reasons that can be a trickier proposition, albeit much less costly.

[1] It's near impossible to come across poorly in a well-fitting, single-breasted, conservative suit. But fall short of well-fitting and you subject yourself to ruthless scrutiny.

[2] The conservative suit works well in almost any business-related environment--again, zero decision making required in the morning--whereas a Silicon Valley uniform would never fly in NYC, DC[3], a court room, etc, and IMO is more likely to come across as more pretentious than a suit in some environments, as denim+polo or similar attire can suggest bro culture, frat culture, etc.

[3] Yes, plenty of technical people in DC and even NYC adhere to a California business casual aesthetic, but the people with power or money almost universally look down on those people. In California that same kind of calculus is rarely so simplistic, but in any event on neither coast can you go wrong in a good, conservative suit.
From [2]: To put it simply: in order to generate 13.5 nm EUV light in a special plasma chamber, you need a very powerful laser (because a significant amount of its power will be wasted); a generator and a catcher for tin droplets (in addition to a debris collector); as well as a special, nearly perfect, elliptical mirror. To make everything even trickier, since EUV light with 13.5 nm wavelength can be absorbed by almost any matter, EUV lithography has to be done in vacuum. This also means that traditional lenses cannot be used with EUV because they absorb 13.5 nm light; instead, specialized multilayer mirrors are used. Even such mirrors absorb about 30% of the light, which is why powerful light sources are needed. This level of absorption can lead to ablative effects on the mirrors themselves, which introduces additional engineering challenges. To learn more how EUV LPP light sources work, check out this video.

A lot of pro life people feel that actively killing sometime (they consider a fetus alive) is very bad and should be stopped. Where as keeping another person alive (not passively killing them) and happy is the individuals responsibility.

Think about the trolley problem. In one case you passively kill 4 people and in the other case you actively kill 1. Pro life people would probably choose to passively kill 4 while pro choice would probably choose to actively kill 1.
one way is to do

return SOME_EXRPRESSION;

and then look at the compiler error. Another way is

let () = SOME_EXPRESSION;

which works as long as SOME_EXPRESSION is not of type (), but if it compiles, well, you know the type :)

Another way is to use some sort of IDE integration that gives you "show me the type on hover".
I have to agree on this one. Self censorship is the new norm.
People don't buy Tesla because of what it does (make a profit selling cars) they buy it because they're making cars "to make the world a better place," by releiving reliance on fossil fuels.

The why is more influential than the what. It's the same reason people are dumb enough to pay a 40% premium for Apple products that are equal in any meaningful metric to a PC.

I don't use GitHub anywhere near enough to warrant using this anyway, but it's sad to me that true native app development (a rare and positive thing these days, it seems) is shackled with what I consider the scourge of the modern app landscape: monthly subscription pricing, justified by a man-in-the-middle server(s) for reasons that are in no way logical.

How many email "clients" have launched in the last few years, only to be shutdown without any future use possible because they all had a hidden server component?

So you get to pay almost as much as most people will pay for all of GitHub, for an app that's tied to another company being around, with the bonus that they get to see all your private repos?

I know a lot of people won't see any issue with this, and that this is "normal" for them, but this is most definitely not "normal" for me, and it pains me that so many people accept this as "normal".
Where do you draw the line? Berkeley recently [0] had to pull tens of thousands of free education videos, because California law required that they be captioned, and they couldn't possibly caption tens of thousands of videos. So they just pulled them. I'm on board with an E for effort, but I find what I've described unacceptable.

You're welcome; this was important to me. In addition, No Starch's commitment to letting the book be generally freely available on doc.rust-lang.org was mandatory, and they are awesome enough to be supportive of that :)
Excellent point...I think that is what was happening...I must have gotten to the "hard" zone as you describe, and simply got bored of work, but wasn't challenged (which is what I want from a game).
Perhaps try reaching out to the reporters, or even some of the experts mentioned in the article?

I've done it before and gotten responses, and in the cases of an article like this I can't imagine you'd be the only person with such questions.
What? No.

I was treated great during all of my deployments, so were all of the various units I was attached too. Actually they made a huge effort to treat us better during the actual fighting than during any training. I mean, it's a war zone so no luxuries or anything, but overall my time deployed was my favorite time of my enlistment.

This is great. I really wish the container boom started with a more Unix philosophy around containers; package "images" as a tarball, run the container with a wrapper like runc. The container inherits Stdout, Stderr, Stdin, etc. You can pipe the output to log aggregation, etc. Small, sharp, reusable tools.

Containers should just be the new static binary. Instead, we have Docker "Daemon"'s that can crash.

Are you setup to issue tax invoices to clients?
Sorry, I meant screen for.

And yes, screening for people who suffer from genetic diseases. A lot of which we can't cure right now. But we are working on some of them. Childhood diseases are very tricky though, because they're typically quite rare, and many of the treatments are experimental.

As for screening out people who develop chronic conditions in life, we already do that. Cancer is a genetic disease that happens later in life, and sometimes we can't cure it. Sometimes that person wants assisted suicide rather than going through the pain of living. That's their choice I think.

I think the big thing is as technology progresses, and we can both cure more and people can't pay for it without insurance, what do we do? Should we cure 100 babies in Africa or one in the US? They're both life, but very different cost. Shouldn't we save more babies if we can? Does where a baby gets born imply how much we should care about it?

When you go as far as basically the holocaust, I think that's pretty crazy. We're talking about naturally occurring diseases and problems that we may or may not be able to cure. How much of someone else's money should be spent on it is an open and tricky question, as the patient would likely spend any amount to stay alive. At that point, maybe compassion is looking at the larger picture: we're all going to die at some point. But medicine these days is about delaying the inevitable at huge cost to someone else.

Really, I think the long term solution is taking the profit motive out of healthcare. If helping people live better lives isn't good enough, then maybe medicine isn't your field. And we should make healthcare non-profit and not tax it, and do other things to encourage it.
Jesus dude, that's a bit of a leap. We're not talking about people who might develop conditions, or people who choose to live their lives certain ways. As I understand it, the conversation's more about a hypothetical baby that will absolutely be born with a terrible disease that will grant nothing but a short and excruciating existence. There's real scientific reasoning behind that decision, not "oh the baby's probably gonna be a commie, get rid of it"

I don't know what reasons Microsoft had for making the program exclusive to women, because I think men would also benefit. Here's my guess: gender affects mentorship. An older man having a close working relationship with a young woman, inviting her out to lunch, and getting drinks after work carries implications that simply do not exist with a young man. Having these interactions take place within a socially sanctioned program helps everyone out because it clarifies the nature of the relationship to both the participants and the onlookers.

It's not that the person was wrong, it's that the person saw no difference between an accidental death (#1 cause) and death from pregnancy. Look at these causes, and you tell me which type of death a hospital can best actively prevent as a part of the treatment plan and those measures have the most impact:

#1 Unintentional injuries

#2 Cancer

#3 Suicide

#4 Heart disease

#5 Chronic lower respiratory diseases

#6 Pregnancy complications

Think about which type of young patient comes to them with at minimum of 6 to 9 months of warning, so much time to prepare for the "event". Think about which type of patient can leave the hospital well with a completely normal life expectancy. Out of those #6 death options, pregnancy is the only type of event where, if you survive, you have a completely normal life & life expectancy. Given that, why wouldn't a hospital invest the resource?

You literally can't fuck up rendering performance, provided you don't have a single huge component the renders your entire state.

It also happens all the time with bankrupting people. I have several friends that have gone bankrupt due to medical conditions, one who's now homeless because he contracted MRSA in the ER, and it took 9 months in sub-ICU and several long, expensive surgeries. His insurance capped at at 1 million per year, but his bill was way over that by 6 months. I think it ended up being 1.5 or 2.5 million total, but I could be wrong.

So I'm not quite sure what you point is... That it's possible to get expensive care without going bankrupt? Sometimes the US medical system works well?

I think lawyers did amazing work. If you (or anyone) interested - will be happy to give reference.
Swift camera – a 3 part blog post about iPhone camera
I'm going to wager that they were trying to hint at both the inexperience of youth, and a different person each time so you can't build up a relationship with them. The kind of relationship where they remember the last 3 orders they've delivered to them have been wrong, and they then check the order themselves before they leave the warehouse/store.
Not only that, but choosing one doesn't exclude the other when it comes to groceries / food delivery...
The expression problem has two sides, right. I don't advocated that pattern matching on ADTs is "the better" solution. Neither the OO approach is.

There isn't usually a 100% modular solution, because you want to stay flexible respectively in either dimension, to some extend. You have to chose between trade-off (as always).

That's way I like hybrid languages like Scala where I can actually make an informed choice whether it's more likely to add new variants or more functionality in the future. But when I have to do the thing I didn't anticipate in the first place I want help from the compiler to avoid errors. That's way an exhaustiveness checker for pattern matching is a very welcomed and neat feature.
> When you go as far as basically the holocaust, I think that's pretty crazy.

Is it? 52 million babies have been killed by legal abortion in the U.S. since 1969 [1]. That's vastly more than the Holocaust. We're living through the American Holocaust right now.

Hi Greg,

I have several Pi that I hack on and one that I use as a dev box.

I've used mine to play with things like a magnetometer feeding data into an HTML5 animation of a compass, making a chat app using web sockets, learning how to install and use CouchDB, and building software from source code of all kinds just to see if I can do it.

I want to do some automated gardening and make an automated chicken coop door. There are quite a few examples of both of those to draw from and I'll get it to it soon but I ponder over all kinds of things I'd like to do.

Not long ago I got a WDLabs hard drive and case and set my dev box up to boot from the hard drive instead of the SD card. It's a 350GB drive and runs silent as can be and the case routes all the cables out the back which is really sweet. I think I spent around $65-$75 on the drive, case, cables, and power supply. That's a sweet deal.
You can have all the sensor-tech in the world, but self-driving cars aren't going to take off until you have standardized car-to-car communications and smart roadways designed for self-driving cars, such as pre-mapped lanes and surfaces as well as smart roads communicating road-condition and obstruction information.

>> How do you calculate what you believe is a fair price for Tesla shares?

That is the question for which everyone wants to an answer that only they know :) You can build really sophisticated models to predict stock prices, but all models are really just making guesses about what a fair stock price is.

Some common questions to ask are:

- Does it have a positive the ACID test ratio? [1] Looking at the balance sheet [2], do the current assets exceed the current liabilities? If everyone thinks Tesla can pay it's bills, but you think they will have trouble doing so, you may believe a fair price is lower than what everyone else thinks.

- Does the company have a sensible price-to-earnings ratio? [3] Looking at the stock info [4], how much weight should you put on the P/E when determining what a fair price is?

- How fast is the company growing? Looking at the income statement [5], do you believe Tesla will grow faster or slower than it has been? And is your estimate higher or lower than what other people are guessing?

- How much will Tesla have to pay for Lithium in the future? [6] Do you predict that Lithium will cost more or less than the other people are guessing, and how much should your estimate factor into determining a fair value for Tesla stock.

Hobby Lobby Illegally Imported Cuneiform into the United States from Iraq
I loved this newest season of House of Cards. There is a lot of political commentary in the form of allusions to real-life people and things, and some of them fall into what is considered "conspiracy theory" (e.g. a Bohemian Grove / Cremation of Care reference).

I don't see it as being that close to reality in every way, but the central message of this season is something I've been trying to communicate to people for a long time. In my interpretation, that message was of the government being captured by the war industry and of those captured factions using and even manufacturing terrorism to goad the public into war. Frank Underwood's rise to power is plausible in a political climate like in the US, and the scenario of a corrupted president retaining power by forging a deal with the war industry is also plausible IMO.

I don't pretend to know exactly how it happened, but there is no doubt that something similar is going on in the US. If anyone can offer me a coherent narrative for G.W. Bush's Iraq war with consideration to the 9/11 "28 pages" and related evidence, Obama and Trump's sale of hundreds of billions in weapons to Saudi Arabia, a never-ending state of war without need for congressional approval, the extreme erosion of civil liberties in the Patriot Act, 2012 NDAA, etc., then I am keen to hear it.
The article says Luminar's advantage comes largely from wavelength: the longer wavelength they use is absorbed more strongly by water, meaning it won't penetrate to the retina, even at higher power, which allows them to have much better range and resolution.

But what about the weather? The atmosphere often contains water. Does anyone know Luminar's performance in fog or rain?

I'm always worried self-driving cars will be set back by having so much of their development take place in sunny California.

That's a really fascinating documentary. Interesting to see a woman analyzing male issues from a first-hand perspective, haha! I did think it was a little funny at the end, the guy saying "this will be revolutionary" but today it's mostly the same, though I do believe things are slowly getting better for both sides.

You're pretty alright :) Have a good evening!
You can use the "r" hotkey to create a bunch of random particles, but I think it only creates ~10 at a time (but you can hold the button down). That's a good idea, though.
I think immutability is actually the crux of the problem here. Why is it used? So the UI knows when to update... Redux applies layers of complexity just to know when ur UI is going to update (efficiently)... Thats a scaling issue! So ur store cant scale to large data-sets because of immtability, and your app cant properly model ur domain, because it needs to be flat to support updates.

That shouldnt be an afterthought for a state management library that uses the principles of event sourcing to create a state tree.

I think its these two ideas clashing that causes the verbose code, the community complaints, and slow code as described in the post. Why should i need to mutate references?

IMO it would be alot more palatable if redux persisted events, not the store. And was opined about the event structure, instead of everything else. ie. Use inheritance/events to then control UI updates.

ie. NOT Comment_Added { postId:.., comment: .. }

rather Comment_Added : PostDomainEvent {comment: ..}

now on the page where i am viewing a current_post, i can simply connect to my state, and re-render whenever i see a PostDomainEvent of id == current_post_Id. I can also buffer re-renders based on the amount of postDomainEvents i see per second.

This way, as someone using the library, my events are my focus, not my store. I dont need to remember to mutate this, or do that. I get precise control, and anyone can implement the store in any technology they want. sure i need an "unreduce" to get time-travel debugging, but thats not a trade-off thats forced on ppl who dont need it.
