> Programming is hard, regardless. You're being very dismissive towards shell scripters, and it comes off as elitist.

I think you're taking this too personally. I write _a lot_ of bash scripts and like bash (as I've already indicated.) It's not always the right tool for the right job (no tool is...)

> What do you mean by parsing? Copying, reading? The buffers sit in kernel memory, sure… but that's pretty fast if every line in your program is concurrent.

The buffers don't just sit in the kernel, they are copied between processes (via write/read.) This involves many many context switches. By contrast (but this is just an example), libgit2 will hopefully mmap your packfiles, and once the data is mapped in you don't have to leave your process.

Parsing is sometimes obvious, for example multiple passes over the data with grep and sed to shape it the way you want. It's true that components of the pipeline can run in parallel but the problem is they do a lot of unnecessary work - parallelizing unnecessary work doesn't remove it and once you hit the limit of # of cores (which is very relevant when generating HTML - something often done by webservers with many concurrent requests where you don't have cores to spare on parallelizing inefficient algorithms.)

Parsing is sometime not as obvious, for example steps in the pipeline doing redundant Unicode validation. This is an artifact of squeezing things through read/write with reusable components. It's convenient (which makes it great for prototyping, or for things that "don't matter") but this adds up to poor performance.

> Did you have a bad experience with xargs?
> Did you have a bad experience with… running out of… PIDs?

I think you're being very uncivil. xargs is useful but it (with the common options like -n and -P) can spawn many processes which has a tremendous overhead vs an alternative like a function call. It's purely a performance thing.

(I probably should be using parallel but I'm used to xargs :( )
If you are looking to nuke everything, you can do it from the partition screens during the install. I'm assuming that you have not had too much experience with installing operating systems. Since you don't care about the data on the machine and want to nuke everything. This is a learning opportunity to try all the settings and see what they do. As that if you mess up and it's not what you want you can start over without fear.

Also if you just want to nuke everything there is dban (https://dban.org/) where you can just wipe everything.

Not easy to find. But from memory, the tl;dr is:

Any argument purporting to prove that human beings do or don't have minds or souls separate from their bodies applies equally well to finite automata. So, in the trichotomy I love, either:

-- There's some argument proving that "physicalism" is correct.
-- There's some argument proving that both humans and arbitrary Turing machines have minds/souls.
-- Most things that have previously been written about the subject miss the point. :)
Im all for access but there will and must be a point where flat/hard surfaces stop. Trails are a thing, so too gravel roads. We cannot pave the planet. Sure, those in wheelchairs should be able to access city parks but if we say thay they must have total access then we hurt the definition of park. I dont want to see a situation where entry is denied to all, a park not created, because the location cannot be made 100% wheelchair friendly. Nor do i want to see green spaces turned into endless sidewalks.

Was the funding for the pedestrian bridge rolled into the funding for the road bridge? That's happening near here, the federal funding for a bridge project means that there will be a pedestrian accommodation, even though there's no direct connection on either side of the bridge.

In any case, unless funding is secured all at once, it's likely to be the case that there are bridges that don't connect anything and sidewalks and trails that end abruptly. But both represent movement towards a complete path.
What's interesting to me is that these boys are raised as girls but feel like boys, which means that there's something physical that makes us "feel our gender". Although, the article doesn't really mentions whether there are many boys who go the other way, who resent a penis growing because they liked being girls.

You are making a special distinction between stuff that is "part" of you, and stuff that is not "part" of you. In actuality there is no such clear distinction, there is only correlation in state, which is not binary but rather occurs on a spectrum.

Understand that I'm defining consciousness as the property of having awareness, not as the human mind. The human mind is what it is like to be a cerebral cortex with our given structure. Think of consciousness as being like a computer screen, and the mind as a picture displayed on that screen. That screen could display a very different image, but that wouldn't change what the screen itself is.

so you have problems you need to sort out with your own codebase. this is not unusual when using any framework. willing to bet this also stems from poor code practices due to the lack of react 'standards' 1.5 years ago / lack of es6+ code

>new team members onboarding takes forever, environment is extremely tenuous

in terms of onbaording, this is something that can always be improved on. better docs. getting started docs. if you've done it once and realized what new hires are struggling with you can reduce that in the future. the environment isn't really that bad, if you had someone who understands javascript ecosystem then they really only need to know how to bundle the packages through the device specific IDE.

just seems like you've got a bad taste in your mouth for a standard everyone else seems to have figured out.

Huh... I wonder if there could be some sort of intervention therapy that could keep them a girl, in that case, or if it's really set in stone that they will transform.

If so, there could actually be a sort of "third sex" on the horizon. It's been explored quite a bit in sci-fi tropes, but amazing that it's actually (kind of) real!

Imagine if you literally got to choose your sex, with no preset arrangement... you were just a "third gender" type, then elect to go through either male hormone or female hormone therapy depending on your druthers.
I actually understand why: from chatting with my US coworkers whenever they visit us, I found something that I find fascinating: grocery shopping is something that only happens at most once a week, usually less often. Because supermarkets are far away from offices and residential areas they only buy groceries very infrequently (compared to me, who does it maybe 4-5 times a week). It makes sense given the urban planning: you get to the office by car and go home by car, so grocery shopping isn't an opportunity that presents itself frequently. Compare it to me: I'll bicycle or take the metro every day and my route (and everyone's really) passes by more supermakets than I can easily count.

It's more than a matter of habit or novelty, you can't get people to change unless you offer them an environment where that change is beneficial to them.
No, I don't regret it. We picked it for our startup as we wanted a cross platform solution, that genuinely felt native (without the huge effort it takes to make a webapp feel that smooth), and that still gave us a chance to easily native code for certain features. Big wins:

- With a little effort, it genuinely feels native.

- The talent pool is much larger. We didn't hire React Native folk, just good JS people who picked it up quickly.

- Blending native code with JavaScript is easy.

- There are methods to perform app updates without going through the app store release processes of either platform (and waiting for end users to actually download the update).

- It moves quickly, so bugs are squashed pretty quickly, and features arrive at a fast clip.

There have been challenges:

- It moves quickly. Backwards compatibility is doesn't seem to be high on the maintainers priority list, so almost every update will break _something_. We instituted policies of never falling far behind the public release (to avoid needing huge changes at once), and using very few external components (which are often not kept up-to-date with RN).

- If your use cases are outside of the maintainers, there will be problems. The release process seems to be "Does it work for the contributors projects? Ship it". Things like Pod based builds broke for months because they just weren't tested.

- The JavaScript ecosystem is still insane. Our project has ended up with one of the most complex build processes I've worked with (and I've worked with autotools).

My key advice would be:

- Stick with their release cycle, and follow their processes. Don't colour outside the lines, or you will have pain.

- Don't include third party modules unless you have _no other choice_.

- Test on both iOS and Android regularly (i.e. continuously). Things that work well on one platform may be broken on the other.

Based on our outcomes, present me would happily tell past me I'm making a good call, as I'm confident we'd otherwise never have shipped two native-feel applications with 5 developers.

This paper outlines the problem (capture of our democratic process by a business/political elite) quite well. Most of the solutions (fixing gerrymandering, money in politics, primary access) presume a reasonable amount political leverage in order to enact. The paper proposes http://www.centristproject.org/2018plan/ as a fulcrum.

The Centrist Project’s plan includes strategically identifying a small number of states with a political climate favorable to candidates from “the sensible center,” recruiting promising candidates, and supporting them with a campaign infrastructure, as we discuss further on. The genius of this plan is that, while challenging, it is eminently doable because the number of seats required to deny either party a majority is small.

Your idea doesn't go far enough. What good are a couple of stale indexes of Wikipedia and Stackoverflow going to be?

Instead, I am wondering why there isnt a federated open source search engine. It would be a cloud of nodes, each node spidering and indexing a small hash bucket of urls. With a million such nodes we could have a live updated, distributed search engine to replace Google. We could run millions of queries without paying someone - we'd pay back by serving as a node, just like in BitTorrent. With all the interest in privacy, I wanted to see more discussion of replacing Google with an open, non-censured and private protocol for search.

>Plus, now I have to learn what Redux is, and how Vue is the next best thing that happened since Angular 2.0. How to use styled-components to make JavaScript in React do what CSS can do on it’s own.

I'm glad I get to call the shots where I work, and I've steered my team clear of all of this stuff. If you have a deep knowledge of the core technologies -- HTML, JS, and CSS -- you can build a great front end with a reasonable amount of time and effort. If something breaks, it's likely going to be our own code, and much easier to diagnose and fix.

I remember putting the Flutter demo with a simple counter on a no-name Android device and having the Flutter app completely chug.

The hardware had a really wimpy SoC, but a native app would never chug for something as simple as pressing a button to change a number.

It made suspect that while in phones with strong GPUs the acceleration makes things buttery smooth, it doesn't graciously scale to poor GPUs (but someone please do correct me if it might have been something else)

It got me worried about shipping an app and finding out it doesn't run on low end hardware even though it doesn't do anything that would be demanding on native

Then I don't think we have a problem. We experience the world through sensorimotor statistics: what our sensory nerves, autonomic nervous system, voluntary motor actions, interoceptive nerves, and just generally our bodies are doing at any given point in time. Science is a series of methods, implemented on top of our basic reasoning abilities, to achieve knowledge which can be generalized across individual perspectives, rather than depending on the statistics and circumstances of an individual life.

I would figure that this isn't the problem of consciousness, but it is the problem of why we don't "see" a "ghostly world of equations, theories and data".
