JS mixin / Ruby module / C++ mixin style composition are less than excellent, mind - throwing all the methods from multiple locations into a single scope is a recipe for implicit dependencies. There's an assumption that you won't define any methods that the mixins also define, not only today, but in the future; and even more, you assume that a same-named method won't be defined in multiple mixins, not only today, but in the future.

IMO it's much better to explicitly reference all mixins, and compose by reference rather than by direct inclusion, unless the composition has strong reliance on the identity of 'this' / 'self' in its implementation.

If your instinctive response is to defend Git, boost Mercurial, ridicule people who can't use their tools, ridicule the tools for being unusable, or whatever -- suppress it for a while and give this article some thoughtful attention.
> Secondly with any web framework your app will most likely be limited by IO (database, file lookups, networking) before it becomes limited by actual code execution performance.

Latency is additive; it's a sum() operation, not a max() operation. Yes, a large fraction of most web requests get eaten by blocking on IO, but everything on top of that adds up, and small numbers add up surprisingly quickly. And the more you try to be smart about that stuff, whether it's optimizing what you query, do extra caching, try to turn multiple DB roundtrips into a single trip, you often just trade IO time for CPU time (albeit lower). You still care about CPU performance.

The thing I love of git is that its internal structure is very simple and transparent, so for any given repository it is possible (although not necessarily easy, if things are well messed-up) to understand what is going on. It is true that the interface is often messy and inconsistent, sometimes annoyingly so, but if I can understand what things are, I can somehow work out how to do things with them (in extremal situations, I know I can fast-export everything, process with custom Python scripts, rather easy to write, and fast-import again). While if I do not understand what things are, the most powerful and user-friendly tool will have very little value to me. Also, knowing what is git under the hood makes me very confident that I will not lose pieces: as soon as the hash of my interesting commits is in another repository (which is not corrupted), I can do whatever I want with the first one and everything I care will be safe anyway.

All of this depends on me knowing what happens inside git and the git insides being rather simple (a hash tree with a handful of object types); I think I would like Mercurial (or any other DVCS) much more if I knew the same about it: can someone suggest places where this is described?
Also you still haven't pushed the commit and could undo it.

This is what I understood was being debated: industry requires a lot of water, and they can pay it 10 times what the peasants pay for it. But, currently, they aren't allowed to buy the water that is needed for farming, which is the same as giving a subsidy to peasants. Instead, we should let the market decide, ie, let industry buy the water and leave the peasants without it. What will the peasants do then? Why, they are free to move to the cities and become industry workers; perfect market solution.

Did I get it wrong?
> I don't think it's as appreciated that git's complexity generally discourages people from trying things out.

For me, at least, the underlying model actually makes it easier to try things out. As long as my work is in commits and I have refs that point to those commits, I can be pretty sure that I'm not going to lose anything. I also take a fair amount of comfort in the fact that (unlike, say, SVN), any remote actions can be deferred until I know things are correct locally.

This sort of robustness in the data model makes it a bunch easier for me to forgive the (very real) usability issues in the command line UI. (And, after years of work, the command line is getting more familiar, aside from some of the more complex rebase operations.)

Does House M.D. encourage inappropriate dismissal of over-anxious patients?

As a user of GP medical practices, I often wonder why doctors are such douchebags when faced with people who have perfectly fine concerns over what seems to them like trivial symptoms that self-resorbs.

In the show House M.D., Dr. House is a very prominent medical doctor who specializes in very rare diseases and is often dismissive about patient's problems. On 78 occasions during the show, Dr. House talks about the patient as "a lier who's perfectly fine", and refuses to take their case.

Conclusion: Although the show demonstrate accurate and interesting cures to very rare diseases, the way it talks about the average patient is pretty bad, and may help explain why doctors behave like jerks on a variety of occasions
Twice the price? Optane seems to be solidly over a dollar per GB, while quite good SSDs are in the 3-4 GB per dollar range.

The pricing is doing a lot better, though. The initial wave of Optane parts were above four dollars per GB, getting unpleasantly close to the price of a ramdisk.
It's an awful show. The worst part is the anti-intellectualism where the young boy who knows things is immediately dismissed as a "clever clogs" every time he opens his mouth.
History shows us that privatization always ends up being more expensive for the average person, while still providing lower-quality service than the old public system.

I experience the same thing in the UK. I rarely go to the doctor. Perhaps once a year if that. If I go it is because something hasn't gotten better after a number of weeks, I am unsure about something or genuinely uncomfortable. The doctor is usually dismissive unless something is hanging off.

My partner was hospitalized for pneumonia. That was despite seeing a doctor 4 times. Each time the doctor was dismissive about the problems she was having. It was only when she struggled to get out of bed that a doctor said it was time to go to hospital.

This has happened for similar issues attending different doctors for issues such as fatigue (turned out to be low iron levels after an operation) and wrist pain (turned out to be RSI which required multiple cortisone injections and prolonged time off work.)

This attitude makes you not want to attend the doctor unless you become critically ill.

I haven't seen a GP for years although, because of age, I probably ought to just to get a few things checked out. The last time I tried to make an appointment I gave up after encountering a phone that just wasn't being answered - except for the time I got a message saying they were busy and to call back later.

Anecdotally, in the UK this now normal. Apparently you have to beat the system by calling at a certain time and saying your problem is urgent. Obviously, all the people you are referring to know all about this; it's just suckers like me who have to suffer.

The NHS is free at the point of use in the UK - except for dentistry which is only free if you have a low income, etc.

Most folks (in my experience) go full on private and pay a monthly fee plus insurance. It isn't expensive (unless you need some major work doing) and the standard of dental care has improved many fold as a consequence.

According to the MSYS2 devs, MSYS2 is slightly slower than Cygwin, and it has a significantly different project objective, leading to much reduced command-line environment:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/25755481/3712 (MSYS2 dev)

As for whether it's slower, I expect there'd be very little difference but MSYS2 would be a tiny amount slower due to the extra conversion work.

https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/How-does-MSYS2-differ-fr...

MSYS2 provies a minimal shell required to run autotools and other build systems which get the source for software from the Internet from different repositories, configure them and build them. The shell and core tools exist mainly to allow porting Unix programs to run natively on Windows (i.e. without requiring a POSIX emulation layer). MSYS2 doesn't try to duplicate Cygwin's efforts more than necessary, so the number of provided POSIX-emulated software is very small.

(I recommend Cygwin, I've been using it for 15 years or so, and have access to almost everything I've ever needed from Linux command line. The slowest thing is forking; emulating it in Win32 executables is not easy on NT kernel. MSYS2 doesn't fix that.

Also, apt-cyg is pretty decent for installing packages on Cygwin.)
Yep, and it's so slow. On my new desktop rig (2017, $3,5k worth of hardware) it's ridiculously slow. Opening a exporer, wait 2 seconds. Open a network drive, it might open, if you're lucky. Even mundane things like opening Adobe software or Office takes noticeably longer than on my 2014 Macbook Pro. And it's not the hardware, geekbench is in expected territory, AIDA64 benches fine. It's just somehow, slow. Feels slow, at least. And then there's the visual inconsistencies. Open the details on a network view and EVERY TAB has a different UI style (one of them going back to the early 2000's) I find that inexcusable. But hey, games, they run fine.
Many major exchanges have financial institution licenses. It's not a banking license, but it's a license that still means a lot of regulation. (Also the history has shown that a banking license is in no way a guarantee that a bank cannot fail.)

> Social security payments are not taxes.

I agree with you. In my experience most people in Canada, and perhaps the US too, consider any government mandated deductions from your gross salary to be "taxes," regardless of the final destination of the money.

This is why you have people arguing that health care contributions and social security payments are "taxes"

Ah I see - I moved over as a foreigner (no previous religious affiliations) so that’s probably why I didn’t have to do anything beyond the taxation declaration.
One alternative is to require patients to attend a followup visit to have the report read to them, inconveniencing the patient and wasting insurance/taxpayer dollars.
Alabama Supreme Court Blocks Digital Ballot Preservation Requirement
that's just pointless busywork.

Not at all - Youtube could use a complex, multi-layered system to deflect blame from themselves.

"Oh, we didn't demonetise your video, we just give advertisers tools to choose what sort of content they want their ads to show alongside. And your video is rated 'gender insensitivity level 1' because you said 'motherboard' instead of 'mainboard'. It's the advertisers' fault you made much less money on this one."

If Youtube make a clear line, they have to take a stance on whether saying 'motherboard' should be allowed or not, and whatever choice they make some people will protest. If instead they have eight categories of offensive content and twenty thresholds in each, they can outsource the decision on whether saying 'motherboard' is allowed to anonymous advertisers' marketing departments - YT can avoid taking a stance at all.
I'm interested how well the client works under cmd.exe. Last I tried to use ssh via cygwin, I remember having a lot of issues with escape codes not working, to the point that I had to go ahead and install puTTY anyway, just because it was a much better terminal emulator. Microsoft has neglected their terminal emulator for 20 years now[0]. I hope they improve it soon. I'm aware that some cosmetic features were added in Windows 10 but frankly it still sucks compared to even the most basic Unix terminals. Making the terminal a first class citizen in Windows would do a lot to win developer market share.
I think this is because WSL uses NTFS Alternate data streams to store linux file attributes, and they don't survive when a file is copied to a non-NTFS file system.

I won't pretend to know anything about the Belgian tax code or labor laws. But this strikes me as odd way to do the math:

> $1 -> First, because yearly the employer has to pay you for 13.92 months, not 12 (end of year bonus thing), we take that out. That's 14% (but you get 20 days 1.5 times paid holidays, and an end of year bonus, which is taxed at a higher rate, but you do get that)

Why are you subtracting 14% from the employee here? That 1.92 month bonus is money that ends up in the employee's pocket. From the employee's point of view, you should be adding 16% here -- for every $1, the employee actually gets $1.16 when the full year is considered.

If you count bonuses as losses to the employee, that would make for some very unhappy Wall Street bankers (where bonuses can easily exceed yearly pay).
In some countries, exposing children to advertising would be considered inappropriate.

In some places, nudity and sex are considered fine for children.

In some places, LGBT topics, or even showing people who are openly gay discussing something entirely unrelated would be considered unacceptable.

In some places, standards for nudity are very different, for example failure to wear a headscarf would be unacceptable in parts of the world.
> Always, really? The history of PHP opcode's caches is complex. Before PHP5.6 where Zend published their opcache+, I've seen the various solutions (APC and others) cause vicious bugs.

First of all realpath_cache_size is unrelated to opcache and has always worked well. The only problem with that configuration is that the default is waay too low for modern frameworks.

Also I think GP meant that now you can always finetune the opcode cache. The current opcache is built into php 5.5+ and just works. It works so well that there are almost no competitors because there is no need.

I run Cygwin sshd - I wouldn't expose it to the internet, but have no qualms about using it after hopping through a Linux box.
You are, of course, absolutely correct. And I hope this is what internal package maintainers in large companies and individuals using putty as their standard SSH client do. However, for many of us putty is a backup when they are not on their linux/osx machine and just quickly need an SSH client to do something. The workflow there is google->putty->first result->download->execute. You absolutely shouldn't, but we also shouldn't drink and sleep 8h a night :)
> When I first saw this example, my conclusion was that it showed how important theory is.

He drew the exact opposite of the conclusion I see here. This seems like the perfect example for arguing why theory isn't important. Anybody who knows nothing about the theory could still tell that there's no solution -- precisely because of the very observation that lowering the step size (error tolerance) doesn't stabilize the graph and keeps causing larger and larger changes. If you had a solution, lowering the step size would eventually make a vanishingly small difference, and it's clearly doing the opposite. You don't need Picard–Lindelöf to tell you that.
