No. As you can see on the Sway website I linked to before, there are plenty of examples of presentation-style content.

The main benefits are in embeddable content (including content produced by Office suite), ease-of-use for non-technical users and reduced friction (Design tools already bundled with the Office suite that many businesses already have installed. Multiple ways to share content).

For everyone that's interested in TransferWise, I'd recommend Revolut ( https://www.revolut.com/ ) instead.

They have no fees for transactions or currency changes (up to a quite high limit), as well with a lot more features (international prepaid MasterCard that charges no fees ever being my favourite one, and you can go to ATMs for free as well).

I've been a happy customer of them for quite some time and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them, but the opposite.
Ah I see what you mean.

I wouldn't call that a problem per-se. It draws a cursor where there it text to draw one. This makes sense to me as I can edit a column of values and not pick up already empty columns.

To do what you want I'd just multi-cursor the start of all the lines and hit end. Usually ctrl+arrow over word boundaries gets anywhere I need after that.

Anything fancier still I've just written a regex instead.

Could certainly be a preference option to enable blank lines on multiple cursors. it would have to fill the white space.
Maybe countries should be split by political views rather the geography.
One of my favorite sqlite features is the vtable mechanism: https://sqlite.org/vtab.html

It makes it possible to expose a custom, application specific database format as a sqlite table, and suddenly you can run SQL queries on your data!

Of course that requires providing the spectators with the capacity to interact with the content at their own pace.

If you want to use the lecture format, there's no alternative to crafting a well-structured presentation a la PowerPoint. There could be better tools that could help more in finding the right structure, but the end result will look largely the same - a sequence of images and text that convey the main ideas in an easy-to-grasp format.

This is correct. JavaBeans were a bad solution to a problem. It was Swing (or was it AWT then?) that needed it first, so that tool builders could allow widgets to have their properties customised. So the vile JavaBean conventions took hold.

I only quibble on the "mindlessly" part. I will never add a get/set in a class if it isn't needed. But invariably, in a Java project, some library somewhere insists that I have them. So eventually I find I've reluctantly added them.

Sometimes you can get away with leaving them private, sometimes not. It's a pain in the neck and like many things in Java, it should have been sorted out years ago.

I can strongly recommend privoxy too. It can block everything that Pi-Hole can, and more too, but in a easier to use way. For instance, privoxy has a simple online tool to show whether or not a URL is blocked, and you can temporarily enable/disable blocks if you need to. As it doesn't use DNS to block traffic, there's also no problems with out-of-date blocks cached in the DNS.

It also offers finer grained blocking since it works on the hostname of a site (and also the URL path for unencrypted traffic) Privoxy is also lightweight enough to run well on a RPi.

And yes, they might increase their fees when they get bigger, still, if it's smaller than what the banks charge, it's a win

(However, since money movements are not balanced they still need to "move back" some of it so they can settle their accounts - but I guess they already have some bulk currency buyng/selling bank to do that)

You can and should operate your own root trust programme, or club together with other people who have the same idea of what constitutes trustworthy. If, like most of us, you prefer to delegate this problem to your OS vendor then you get to keep both halves when it breaks.

The main trust stores today are operated by Microsoft (for Windows), Apple (for Mac OS and iOS), Mozilla (Firefox and all the Free Unix systems), Google (Android), and Oracle (Java). Smaller or less frequently updated stores are operated by a large number of organisations, including Sony, Nintendo, Avaya, IBM and so on.

All the big stores either explicitly publish a list of what's trusted or provide an obvious way to work it out and some third party aggregates the results.

Most of the trust programmes are completely opaque and proprietary. Mozilla's is open to the public as you'd expect, Google openly relies on Mozilla's process although it takes its own final decisions. Microsoft uses the shared CCADB with Mozilla but doesn't publicly talk about its trust processes.

A large tech company allowing cellphones on their internal network sounds extremely bizarre.

Exactly this. If you're working on a system with any need of serialization (eg to/from JSon), or presentation on some kind of view tier, or storage in a database, then the frameworks make get/set pairs inevitable, even if you fight tooth and nail not to have them.

(Of course you could avoid the frameworks, but try telling your project managers that).

Behavior based object design, as well as being an endangered species, probably never existed very much in the first place.

I wonder if Java's popularity was partly due to people being able to appear to do OO whilst actually implementing "code acting on data" systems. You got the warm OO glow without the hard work of doing any behavior driven design.

The vast majority of UK housing stock is also suspended wood flooring.

However there are vast differences in fire and electrical safety standards. There has been a concerted effort since the 80s to remove flammable sofas, carpets & mattresses. By luck rockwool was the insulation of choice for many years, unlike the states which either used spray foam or some other PE substance.

The standard of electrical safety in the US is comparable to 1960s Britain. (In the UK every plug & every socket _must_ have a fuse. effectively any electrical works demands that RCDs must be installed, which dramatically cut the risk of electrical fires. )

If it creates a specialised concrete array at runtime, then it can't be a truly "generic" method (whereby I assume generic here means parametric polymorphism?). If you want to specialise object arrays to primitive arrays for efficiency, then I do not see why this cannot be a compiler optimization, since the types are statically known at the use sites.

Perhaps Java interoperability is the reason for the choices Scala made, but it doesn't appear that e.g. Scala collections can be used from Java?
The graph for compensation/leaving is more revealing if you right align the red bars: https://i.imgur.com/WeJD8na.png

note how with Lyft, Uber and Apple there's no overlap between the percentage that feel compensated fairly and the percentage that would leave (yes I realise the two aren't orthogonal, but it's still indicative).

Edit:

and linkedIn only overlap slightly.

Looking at it another way: https://i.imgur.com/vnMtd3r.png

If you want to reduce the percentage of your employees that want to leave there's two ways to do it: increase compensation, or do whatever Lyft, Uber, Apple and linkedIn are doing.
> Third Improvement: Versioning

Regardless of SQLite, why don't modern productivity tools include at least an option to automatically version documents, ie store documents as a series of diffs that one could browse up to the start?

Of course in many cases, edit history is better kept hidden, so this should not be the default. But why doesn't it exist at all?
> Maybe you want to create parts of the system by interacting with a REPL (instead of writing a static block of text) - and then you'd want to record how you created this specific artifact.

Yes, exactly. You get that with a REPL (e.g. Lisp or Python) and copy-pasting to the source code files, but it's far from ideal.

> The other thing that would help, and my personal wish, is better simulation and the ability to see indirect effects of changes

So, sort like explorable explanations[1][2], but aimed at developing a new model and not just exploring one that has been already made? That's what I'd like to see, too.

In general, banks do charge excessive fees on exchanging currencies. For example, if you want to exchange €1,000 to $ or £, they'll charge you (by default) a 2.5-5% conversion fee. After negotiating with them, you generally get it down to 0.3%.

These days, I convert through my broker, because they only charge me 0.2% for FX conversions.

According to the main page [0] the project was unveiled 6 years ago. For comparison Rust (a random example) started 7 years ago [1] but compare results for "Rust" and "Red/Rebol" on Algolia [2] (sorry no deep links). It's clear Red is niche.

I researched this recently, as they both seem to cover similar markets, but they are not targeting the same market. Revolut is more like a “traditional” bank, whereas Transferwise is a remittance service, generally bank account to bank account. Some people don’t want a new bank account and just want to transfer money, so Transferwise is a better fit for them.

The root capabilities section is worrying. Instead of trying to exhaustively list every capability that needs to be dropped, shouldn't the code instead just list the capabilities that are allowed, and clear all the others?

This would seem to better guard against accidentally missing existing capabilities, and also protect against newer capabilities that might be added in a future kernel.
The error that you are making is that when we are looking at ideology and evaluation if it could help to improve the world.

With Communism there are massive amounts of problems, but a major one is how to think of the transition, and how to enact the transition.

The USSR had to be a dictatorship because otherwise they and everybody who thinks about it for 5 min understand that the transition to communism will simply not happen.

So if you have a ideology that practically unreachable then that is a massive problem for that ideology and its ability to actually improve the world.

The very extreme proposition dictated by communism forces the people who follow the ideology into extreme actions.

>The range on the Leaf so far has not been especially good, limiting the market for it.

And yet it's the best selling EV on the planet.

It's foolish to compare a car that you can buy today (the Leaf) to a car that you might not be able to buy for another year or more (the Model 3), unless you think Nissan will improve nothing over that time.
> So the question is if the margins are so low that they need a billion dollars to make a profit, what kind of scale do they need to be worth a billion dollars.

Well, if we're assuming P/E=20 then they need to be heading for 50 million dollars in profit. Let's guess their "gross margin" from their spread is 2%, so they're currently at top-line revenue of 2 million dollars (and the same in costs). So if their costs were completely flat they'd need to grow to be processing 25 billion dollars of transfers to justify the valuation; in practice growth won't be completely free of costs so we're talking about a bit more, maybe 50 billion dollars. Does that sound vaguely plausible?

> And it somehow it makes me question their business model as well. Sooner or later they will be tempted to raise fees and get more profitability.

I doubt it; there are a lot of competitors in the same space. At the moment TransferWise has the name recognition, but that won't let them raise costs a lot.

What Makes the ‘Perfect Team’ and How We Built Our Own
Other than "active" pages with live charts and other data (which are great!), as well as Control-F (which cannot be understated), I prefer paper books on every possible way.

They're easier on my eyes. They're easy to bookmark forever. You can sort your books in a way that the physical placement of your book itself (the thickness, the colors, whatever) helps you organize or remember important details instead of just getting lost in a pile of ebooks in folders. And the backlights are bad for trying to fall asleep while reading which may sound odd, but I have the _least_ ADD when I'm about to fall asleep and everything calms down so I learn the best.

I use ebooks, but I absolutely prefer the real thing whenever possible.

And I say all of this as someone who has given away all of his DVDs and won't buy BluRays for his movie collection. I'd rather just rip something and dump it to my hard drive. Those little DVD boxes were filling many shelves and I was like "Why? All I do is watch them. And the bloody intro ads treat me like I'm a pirate for buying them."

So my point there is, I'm not just some sentimental person who clings to physical things. I like my physical books because they're better for me.

But, I'm not some zealot who thinks, "Anyone who uses ebooks is wrong/worse/whatever."
