Maybe I should have put in the sarc notes.

If you took time to understand the psychology of what is happening worldwide to all governments and nations, you would recognise that, in general, the citizens of every nation are being ignored by those who are supposed to be responsible to them.

It is unfortunate that the citizenry of the US has lost sight of the incredible freedoms, privileges and responsibilities inherent within the US constitution. The fact that there is now publicised the above situation and the courts and government will not take the proper action and the citizens are not out protesting to all of their respective representatives is highly indicative of how far the US has fallen.

I may live in a country that has no such constitutional protections, but we appear to have a few more actual protections than the citizenry of the US. My own country has endemic problems and in many ways we are following the dark path of the US.

If a population cannot stand up and say no to their government then any actions by that government is then acceptable to and condoned by the citizens.

It is lamentable that governments and even courts push the idea of "rule of law", when so many laws are either plain stupid or are just downright wrong. "Rule of Law" means that it applies to everyone including the government. If any group is beyond or above the law then you no longer have the situation of "rule of law" applying.

In the US, you have a provision of Jury Nullification that is extremely powerful, yet you are not taught about this, nor is it legitimate to discuss the subject in public.

The imprisonment of anyone without due process and not sticking the the principle of "not guilty until proven beyond a reasonable doubt" has ensured that the government and its associated LEO's, spy agencies and defence forces can get away with whatever they want.

I personally do not like nor consider the ACLU to be an honourable group, but they do go to bat for various people that need help in these kinds of situations, especially when the government exceeds it privileges.

On final note, my original comment was intended to stimulate discussion on the limits on what is allowed under the US constitution for all the parties involved. Maybe my point was lost due to not being a US citizen and the interesting fact that many in the US think American is English and so fail to understand such subtle comments.
Not sure what you mean about the danger of opioid relapse.

I had esophageal cancer and they prescribed me as much hydrocodone syrup as I wanted. Quarts of it. It was a godsend for the pain, but a huge bitch to quit afterwards.

Had they instead limited the quantity, and supplemented with cannaboids, maybe it would have been easier to taper off.

The current system, at least for me, encourages the patient to make up reasons to keep getting the opiates.

I succeeded eventually by begging benzodiazepines from friends to help me taper off the hydrocodone.

Some kind of pre plan to deal with it would have been so much better. It's as if the doctors have no idea what happens when they cut that supply off.
Do you wish for people to not at all tell you what features they would find attractive, or should they do so in some other way?

Building a Video Synthesizer in Python
I did not go to college/university for engineering, but just hearing the tools of 'real' engineers is great.

I've been opening up Jekyll in the morning as the start of my day. I write the blog post for the work I'm about to do. I've noticed that I'm getting better at explaining the problem clearly and the solution. When there is a paragraph that feels out of place I yank it into a different file immediately to get it out of the current flow of the post. The paragraph felt out of place because it was probably a distraction from the problem Im trying to solve today. Also, the great thing about this technique is that I have a blog post at the end of the work day that I can look back on and say, "Damn, I shipped something" if I didn't feel like I shipped anything else (common problem in our field of software developers)
You should be using whatever anti-spam solution you have to check outbound mail as well as inbound.

I think the issues on Github can give a general idea.

Pistons actually work (at least basic pushing/pulling) since a recent update, so we should probably update that on the wiki. Other than that, I'd say the biggest missing feature is Entity AI/Pathfinding at the moment.
That would not kill Bitcoin. Nodes will quickly switch to different port, maybe even 80.

As an answer to "why", if you are curious:

Technical limitations of being a VST/AU plugin:
Sparse support of window resizing, lack of multiple simultaneous DAW integration, ability to only exist on multiple channels, ability to output/input its own audio/MIDI, limited number of automation parameters, ability to remain playing without hiccups after a DAW has been closed, future ability to exist on a completely different computer. Compare Rack to something like Reason instead of a single synthesizer, which has no plugin version.

Philosophy of a standalone application:
VCV Rack attempts to emulate not only the technicalities of modular synthesizers but the entire mindset and workflow. Most modular artists consider their instrument to be a composition tool rather than an element of a song, which more aligns with the title of a DAW. Eventually the need to use Rack in a DAW will nearly disappear, as more modules are added to compose and record a song from scratch to finish. However, many DAWs have ways of communicating with other DAWs, and Rack is no exception after the release of "VCV Bridge", scheduled to be included in Rack v1.0. More information:

I believe this is what bountysource.com is for. I haven't tried it, though, and I'm not sure how completion is evaluated.

Seems problematic to let the bounty-poster decide if something is completed, but also to put it on a third party to put in the time to verify for various pieces of software they might not be familiar with (and worse to put it on the second party who implements).
Im strongly in favor of net neutrality. But let's just play devil's advocate here a bit to temper the end-of-the-world view on all this: what if there is good that comes out of this "Internet Freedom Act"... One potential outcome is increased fragmentation, competition and choice via multiple smaller ISPs. Potentially a good thing?

Maybe we will see alternative protocols or network technologies that can bypass typical network controls - further strengthening the Internet's resiliency.
I suppose that would be true about $40 android phones too? I think Apple would be glad to sell however many iPhone 5s's for cheap because that's basically what the iphone SE is.
But it's in your second link! They got less than a half dozen donations in two years. So you're right I misremembered their selling licenses. They asked for donations and got less than six in two years. Regardless the upshot is the same: they stopped development on the Linux version due to (IMHO) perceived lack of interest.

I was one of the people who purchased a Windows license as a thank you for the Linux Beta. I actually bought two: one for me and one for an aunt who kept threatening to write a book about her "traumatic" childhood. No one else in the family found it quite so traumatic as her and most of her trauma came from being exactly like her mother.

I bought the license for my aunt 50% as a "So shut up and write" prompt and 50% for hopefully therapeutic purposes. Give me your email address and I'll forward you the receipts lest you think I'm talking out my ass about that too.

Net neutrality rules are about source/destination of traffic, not the type. ISPs are allowed to discriminate for/against traffic based on the type of traffic and it would be terrible to prevent them from implementing those kinds of QoS rules.

If we're going to defend net neutrality, we should at least understand what we're fighting for. And it's decidedly not to allow BitTorrent traffic to make real-time protocols like VOIP unreliable. It's about not letting ISPs favor one service over its competitors. And it's about making sure that an indie developer can send traffic to internet users just as fast as Google can.

Discussions on technically-informed sites like this one should get the details of net neutrality correct.
Agreed -- I would dump macOS for Debian in a second if it weren't for my workplace trying to standardize everyone on one OS. The fact that I have to buy a third-party app just to disable mouse/scroll acceleration and enable my mouse's extra buttons is absolutely ludicrous.

(if anyone is wondering, the third-party app I speak of is Smooze, and it's a godsend https://smooze.co/)
Power users already have the function keys set to be function keys (which is not the default), which is why I haven’t noticed this.
> And you cannot make up for missing keys with key combos.

If you're saying you can't replicate those keys with key combos: Fn-Up Arrow, Fn-Down Arrow, Fn-Left Arrow and Fn-Right Arrow perform PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End, respectively.

If you're saying key combos are not a suitable replacement for those keys being not present: Well, I make do, personally.

What the author says about aliases in the bashrc being evaluated only once when the bashrc is run when the shell session is opened is wrong.

Go ahead and try this:

Put,

alias lb='vim ~/logbook/$(date "+%s")'

in your bashrc.

Source the bashrc.

Run the lb command. It creates a new file with a different epoch timestamp each time. This `lb` command doesn't need to be a bash function. It can be an alias and work just fine.

Maybe how this works in zsh is different...
Really, though, they don't even try. I played the sucker really hard. They never got to the part where they ask for money. I think there's a large amount of amateurs just flushing money down the drain because it's cheap and they have no idea what they are doing.
Are there any easy to use self-hosting packages for this kind of thing? There's also http://www.jollyrogertelco.com/ that is this thing turned into a service. I'd like to use these things but would like something I have more control over.
I think one of the scariest effects will be the new entrenched power of the existing major sites.

Building a new Facebook, Google, Amazon, or Twitter after this will be more than a technical and social challenge. There will be literal gatekeepers charging a fee to compete in the same decent pipes.

Last time we saw the big sites speak up. This time it's only the users. It looks as if the big site operators are just preparing to pay to cement their position, damning the small businesses and independent creators.

This clearly benefits nobody except a small select few.
Land is cheap when it is literally being given away, or when it’s there for the taking and no one takes it.

So, when Catherine the Great called for settlers, saying they could have free land, didn’t have to pay taxes, and didn’t have to serve in the military that land was not just cheap, but free. The Mennoninte of Canada and the USA are descended from those people. They’re Protestants, so that’s the last 500 years.

What the hell is European feudal law? Property held in fee simple, dates from the 1200s in English law. I’m not familiar with other European legal systems but I know that Eastern European economic development is basically the story of German settlement and the good burghers were not serfs. They owned their own businesses and farms.

The Ukraine is an example of a place where land was cheap. You gave some of the reasons why, but that does not detract from the fact that there have been times since 1500 when land was cheap.
I'd argue the ability to set system-wide keyboard shortcuts is a plus for pro users.

Without knowing the other settings in place (ie behaviour of other fn keys) it's impossible to know if this was required or not.

Tech people are terrible for working out over engineered solutions to simple configuration issues.

The biggest issue I see with this: they presumably suffered a loss of all electric, and in that case they're going to have limited pressure in their hydraulic systems. Hydraulics are probably responsible for both steering and torpedo launches, and you're going to give priority to maneuvering in this situation.
If your workload is primarily I/O then coroutines will lose on the wall clock. And of course parallel workloads are fiddly.

But it's also worth noting Golang's current implementation of channels and messages is (as I've noted) going to be notably slow. Odds are you are going to avoid channels entirely if you care about maximizing multi-core performance.

Which is not to say that Golang "isn't fast". Just that it's not at all surprising that for some workloads NodeJS would outperform it.
True. But if the dither mask was computed without taking into account sRGB's nonlinearity (which I assume it was), then the algorithm will have the same incorrect output.
To be clear, this advice would generally apply only when you have "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" switched OFF in the keyboard preferences.

And for further clarification, OFF is the default.

What I don’t understand is what the author expected. If they set this setting to ON, then they won’t see the issue. If it’s OFF, then they expect a feature that isn’t an included feature anymore?
if you have to work for money, it's important to find a job you enjoy doing. not find a job doing something you enjoy, that's one of the worst things you can do. in my experience, that just turns something you enjoy into another chore.

but finding a job you enjoy doing is important. i spent years as a programmer just feeling sick. programming is something i enjoy, but not a job i enjoy doing, and working that job made me miserable in all the ways you're assigning to non-tech work. now i'm a janitor and i feel like a human being again. it's less money, but it's totally worth it.

trouble is, you need to work a job to know how apt you are for it. but then, to get into most classes of work, you need to spend the money to train yourself, with help from the general public perhaps. maybe you'll get a job, maybe not; maybe it'll be good for you and you for it, maybe not. it seems like a pretty sweet deal for the job creators though-- but i'm straying off-topic.

At any rate, you can configure the "extra buttons" on most mice to do tasks on the Mac without special software. For example, I have a gaming mouse at home, and have one of the buttons configured to trigger Mission Control (showing miniature images of all windows open across all apps) merely through the Mouse pane of System Preferences. Also, games detect the extra buttons and can be configured to use them with no problem.

But yes, disabling mouse acceleration should be a built-in feature as well, and it is not.
Nah, open source needs funding.
Your response is insults, ad-hominem and a conspiracy theory that these are sock puppets. You won't convince anyone that way.
Yeah see my other reply: they asked for donations but never received more than half a dozen over two years. I misremembered their selling it for linux. It was free and donation appreciated but not required.
I quite like that the Apple laptops maintain full sized keys instead of just jamming everything in
That's a good start!

One bigger issue is you're storing built assets in source control. This is considered bad practice, as it creates a lot of noise in commits and bogs down git clients with tons of unnecessary blobs. git is for source code, npm is for transpiled code and UMD bundles.

You should "retcon" your repo, by removing them from history with filter-branch (the same process as with sensitive data removal: https://help.github.com/articles/removing-sensitive-data-fro...), make sure they're .gitignore'd, and only publish the built assets in your npm packages (use the "files" option in package.json).

So odd to hear this when everyone seems to be building self-driving cars...

At any rate, if there was one household chore I would happily hand over to a robot, it would be sweeping and mopping. I'm honestly surprised that this didn't make it into the article.
If Comcast starts sucking, 5G and other competitors are going to eat their lunch. If users hate throttling and uneven networks, someone will swoop in with a better product. Example: T-mobile and Sprint forcing companies like Verizon to start offering unlimited plans again.

Did you design the UI yourself? For me (and maybe most programmers) the hardest part of building an application is UI design. You did a really nice job.
She was right to avoid it, even if she knew of it; Last Thursdayism doesn't answer the question, it just makes a (teensy-bit smug) point about epistemology. I think she does a good job of explaining why it's not scientifically possible to refute the idea, but offering a philosophical reason it's not satisfying.

If the Almighty spawns worlds like Minecraft, and controls the sliders of time and physics, it's not clear how we Steves can ever figure out how our world was really spawned -- apart from direct intervention.

Well, I use this logbook approach, in a text editor with persistent undo (which allows a few tricks, like emulating folding by deletion and relying on undo history to unfold). I approximately follow this algorithm:

- Consider the high-level goal; can it be completed immediately? if yes, do it, otherwise break it into smaller parts.

- First part is usually some kind of research. If it's a bug, it'll be a reproduction. If it's a well-specified feature or a refactoring, it'll be locating all areas of code that need to be updated. If it's design, it'll be an initial sketch.

- Subsequent parts depend on the task at hand. For a bug, I generally try and work through to a minimal set of reproduction steps. For a feature, it'll be a generated list of tasks that came out of the research step.

- When working on any given task, I add sub-entries in the form of a dialectic. For a bug reduction, I come up with a hypothesis, then try and prove or disprove it by testing. For design, I propose one approach, then consider the implications; then another approach, and so on. For a feature, tasks generally get added for any "todos" that crop up as I implement things, to ensure I complete everything.

I essentially record salient details of my internal monologue to ensure that I can pick up context again easily, and generally fit more into my working memory by offloading it into text.

I reckon it made me perhaps twice as effective an engineer, particularly in distraction-prone environments. It's also made me a lot more confident that I'm not relying too much on memory as I get older - not that I think I forget much now, but I believe I won't be very dependent on a large working set.
My understanding was that the big ISPs we're making if unprofitable for Google to continue with the fiber rollout. There were stalling tactics and general bullshittery around giving Google access to poles, conduits, etc.

And so on and so forth.
I run a small seven figure revenue business and I have paid more than one open source maintainer/contributor for work done. Definitely don't be afraid to ask; but I usually offer upfront. I'm an ex-developer so I usually offer the help I can with the keyboard, but know that it's limited compared to most of the really good developers out there maintaining a real project, so I offer time + money.

The problem is getting single open source maintainers to commit - and followthrough - with support. They are often way too busy with their job to actually be professional with support and adhere to even a loose SLA.

Zsh is different, although I'd be surprised if this wasn't the Bash behavior.

It doesn't make sense. If you do

alias e=vim

it's not like Vim opens when your shell starts.

The only way to have a "precomputed" alias is to get the quoting wrong, and leave $() in double quotes instead of single quotes, meaning it will be evaluated before the alias is even assigned.
I do this at work in my social media channels and such. I clearly state the rules of engagement and delete 99.999% of communication that doesn't fit the list.

(Sometimes I'll answer communication from those who don't get it right, almost always they are high-profiled individuals you occasionally have to break a rule for. [I also usually regret it. Maybe I'll learn someday.])
Good idea, but as others noted it was a bit light on details.
