FTP was a bit faster at first but the experience of tracing around an unfamiliar directory hierarchy and guessing at naming conventions is not something I get nostalgic about.

What do the flight data mostly consist of?
I'm half way through OMSCS while working a full time software job with an hour commute and a family with kids. It is doable but difficult. Large portions of my weekends are spent on homework and assignments. I find I spend about 20 hours a week on school. I haven't had to miss soccer matches or piano recitals but I've frequently skipped mowing the lawn or working out to finish assignments.
If anyone doubts that "boy interests" and "girl interests" diverge long before they get to the adult job pool, just spend some time people watching in a mall and pay attention to what kids do. You'll see big behavioral differences between boys and girls.

Whether these differences are entirely do to their parents or society steering them toward traditional 20th century gender roles, or are due to prenatal hormones, or some mix of these, or something else entirely, they are real and are there long before the kids are even thinking of a real career.

If we want to get more girls interested in tech (so that they will grow up to become women interested in tech), maybe we should try to find ways to make tech more useful for and relevant to "girl interests".

I remember a story maybe a year or two ago about someone starting a "get girls to code" program that was based on that idea. It was organized around things like jewelry making and fashion, and how programming could be used to help with those areas--in other words, it was organized around things that a large fraction of ordinary American pre-teen/young teen girls like to spend their spare time doing.

It, of course, went down under a hail of criticism that it was trying to force girls into the outmoded gender stereotypes of the oppressive patriarchy or something like that.

I've since moved, so I don't have any chains near me, but it was Domino's. I never had a mistake and except for one time, it was always ready on time. I'd go pick it up based on when they told me it would be done - just walk in and walk out with pizza.

My local pizza place in the same area (better, pizza, but twice the price) could lookup my last order by phone number - that saved time and mistakes. It was nice, but would have been better if it tied into caller ID. Some employees acted like it was a burden to have me tell them a phone # and hit the reorder button - but it was so much faster and error free.

The Death of JavaScript
I'm guessing it's the production of DMT (similar to psilocybin and LSD) by the pineal gland that is being referred to. IIRC there's still a debate about whether it can cross the blood-brain barrier, but it seems quite likely. Ostensibly it's produced at birth and at death.

Please excuse the lack of sources, but the book The Spirit Molecule kickstarted this line of thought if you're interested in learning more.
I don't know about that.

People tend to think that our society is very well documented but if you look at what is left of old societies it is usually whatever was engraved in stone or if you're lucky what remained on paper. With the internet replacing most or even all of the paper storage in the short term it is true (besides our present day paper not being acid free to last long enough anyway), we are better documented than ever. But in the longer term it may be a huge gaping hole in history.

And that's different than cities changing at their regular pace and books becoming less dated. It's like the visitor guide itself is no longer readable and therefore you won't even know what was there in the past.

I've had a similar problem. In updating my portfolio site recently, I noticed a vast majority of links were dead. Not just live projects published maybe 3 years or more ago (I expect those to die). But also links to articles and mentions from barely one year ago, or links to award sites, and the like. With a site listing projects going back ~15 years, one can imagine how bad things were.

I had to end up creating a link component that would automatically link to an archive.org version of the link on every URL if I marked as "dead". It was so prevalent it had to be automated like that.

Another reason why I've been contributing $100/year to the Internet Archive for the past 3 years and will continue to do so. They're doing some often unsung but important work.

Quoting George Carlin:

"Trust me on this one folks, raisin oats are not a major purchase. ...and you're holding up the f*cking line, too!" (talking about people paying with CCs on a queue in a retail store)

Not sure how accurate he was but IMO your parent commenter was expressing a sentiment that is relevant to these quotes.
> And nazis aren't representative of Trump or his supporters.

Putting aside the issue of his supporters, a charitable reading of Trump (whose true beliefs are well-concealed by ineloquence and constant displays of self-contradiction and dishonesty) would be that authoritarianism, nationalism, xenophobia, and many other fascist traits resonate strongly with him and he therefore feels some unconscious reluctance to criticize these guys who ought to be really, really easy for him to denounce by name. That's the charitable reading, which is consistent with him not really believing in their stated goals.

The behavior the press harps on - Trump being oddly appreciative of the qualities of "strongman" politicians when he speaks of them - is a common enough talking point, but I was shocked when Trump told the mass-murderer Duterte he was doing a great job. At some point the question of whether Trump is an amoral, dangerous idiot or an evil, dangerous idiot starts to feel a little academic.
I'd take the other side of that bet. Walmart & Costco get those rates because they can and have played hardball in negotiations with the network, they've shown a willingness to go without credit cards.

I figured that their traffic was increasing because load times for searches has slowed tremendously for me personally. I have no clue if this has anything to do with a manifesto or its writer or simply just awareness.

I think this is exactly right. Even the conscious part of you, the part you perceive as being "in control" isn't really. Free will is an illusion (but a very compelling one!) This realization, too, can help you make better decisions. For example: I've found it helpful in reducing my consumption of sugar. I didn't decide to love the taste of sugar. That's something that just happened to me, like depression. So it's easier for me to resist the urge to snack if I think of the cravings as an attempt by an "external" agent to control my actions, even though that agent is physically located inside my own brain.

This idea even comes with a catchy slogan: sometimes your brain has a mind of its own :-)
not that this is code golf, and not that the following is even mutation, but I couldn't help trying out the "for" syntax in Elixir, which this seemed like a good job for:

one_or_zero = fn(x,y) -> if x==y, do: "1", else: "0" end
for i <- 1..10 do
for j <- 1..10 do
one_or_zero.(i,j) |> IO.write
end
IO.write("\n")
end

I'm self-taught and have a job as a SWE. My BA is in an unrelated field. I'm considering the OMSCS because it would be the cheapest way to add credentials to my resume and because I'd rather not go back for a second bachelor's. (I don't mean to sound cynical--I'm interested in the subject matter, of course, but you can get all of that without going through a degree program.) Exchanging $7k for more legitimacy in the eyes of prospective employers is the main appeal of a formalized program. Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts on the signaling potential of the degree?
This product is awesome. We use it every day. Excited to watch it as it grows and gets more features!
Quoting myself from my original comment "I don't eat processed sugar".
My first couple years as a professional developer were amazing - 7-12 hours a day of coding to keep up. Every single day I left the office totally spent mentally.

I would often dream about coding, or solving a problem that I was stuck on.

I did not however, get headaches or neck aches. In fact, I found being spent mentally to be somewhat of a pleasurable state!

Doesn't seem like that to me.

Yes, the small Ohio town my parents live in near the PA border still has an active Carnegie library, as do some nearby towns. I believe the town had started a library housed in existing town buildings, but after a few years of growth it needed its own location. The town wrote to Carnegie, who gave them a grant for a new library building, which is still used. I'm sure the story is the same in many other small towns.

That's true, and I don't mean to imply that I think it will replace Python/Ruby/etc. But I think Rust may find a sizeable niche as a high-performance, lower-level backend programming language for the web, sort of like Elixir. I've personally found the learning curve to be a lot smaller for web development than other projects because you don't have to learn everything at once; web development doesn't typically call for things like manual threading, so the borrow checker and other advanced features don't come up nearly as much or as early as they might for other codebases.

Cancer(s), for example, might be cured in say 2060 with our current effort, but if we solved the problem by 2030, hundreds of millions would benefit.

I happen to have recently turned 160kg of flour, 100kg of tomato sauce, 70kg of mozzarella cheese and 160kg of various toppings into pizza over the span of five days (with many helping hands) at a Dutch hacker camp, SHA2017. See https://twitter.com/pizzahackery for some nice pictures etc. We had a used 14.4kw (yup, 14,400W) electric oven. Some of our observations:

- Letting dough rest really makes a difference. I know, it requires planning etc and I'm impatient and I don't really do it at home either. The best batches we had had risen for 30min outside and then ~20h in the fridge (or in our case, a cooling truck). Even more time would likely help, two to three days seems to be the agreed-upon number, but we didn't have the storage capacity for that. You also don't need a whole lot of yeast when doing that, we used various amounts but 75g dried yeast was plenty for 10kg of flour with a slow rise.

- Quality flour makes a difference, too. We tried several from the cheapest supermarket flour (32ct/kg) to some really nice organic stoneground flour (~1.3€/kg) and the latter is nicer to knead and makes for a better crust. I was sceptical, too (flour is flour, right?), but it really does make a difference if you're going for maximum yummies.

- Oven temperature is important. Whatever your oven's max temperature is, go for that (unless it's a pottery oven), and use a pizza stone or something (and let it heat up for a while), it adds thermal capacity, i.e. the oven won't cool down as much when you put in the pizza. We bought a used pizza oven (picture: https://twitter.com/leonhandreke/status/893173017722982400) that reaches 500°C (930°F), which is pretty impossible at home, but that allowed us to scale the whole thing. At that temperature, pizza takes around 4 minutes to cook (on a screen, less if you put it on the stones directly, but that's a logistical nightmare with 60x80 cm pizzas) and it's perfect. You get the nice browning of the crust without burning the cheese, and the base isn't soggy.

- Sauce is cheap, cheese isn't. For the sauce, either use polpa fine (quite nice) or passata / sieved tomatoes thickened with some tomato paste. Add oregano and basil.

- We didn't have the time and skill to throw the pizza, we rolled it out. Our trays are 60x80 cm so throwing would have been very different. It was still very nice. Maybe throwing would have taken it up another notch, but it wasn't possible for us.

It was an amazing project and people loved it. We gave it away as free pizza with a donations box and the sum of donations exceeded our expectations. We're donating the entire surplus to the EFF, we still have to return some equipment (outstanding deposits), but it's going to be a sizeable amount. A+ experience, would make pizza for hackers again. Maybe I should write an account of the whole operation and post it :)
I'm not familiar with Smug, but I would guess that
the combinator is implemented using LISP macros which are than expanded into "real" source code (lisp lists)
which is evaluated directly and can halt on break points.

In programing languages which do not have true macros
The combinator API normally creates a data structure representing the grammar which is than interpreted
Which usually makes debugging harder
and the parsing slower.
