Since I'm seeing confusion about how this has occurred in various comments: this is actually not a failure of the executive branch/presidential administration. The American system is defined by a system of "checks and balances" — meaning that the legislature has full power to veto appointees to these departments and even impeach the president. What we're witnessing is a critical vulnerability in this system — when two branches of American government no longer work in the interest of the country, the only remaining check is public elections. These are slow to occur and can be manipulated in plethora ways.

So the issue here is a legislature that has coordinated against the interests of the country and its people for the betterment of themselves and the few who fund them. Keep that in mind, and direct anger and action there.
Static site generators have mostly replaced what I would normally do in WordPress for me. For stuff that has a lot of dynamic custom functionality I tend to opt for an MVC framework.
My brother was a security consultant for a few major websites that you've most likely used yourself at the age of 16, many years ago. He knew more about security at 16 than most developers I work with today. Don't discount someone's knowledge or abilities because of an arbitrary age.

He's still successfully protecting servers from getting hacked today, when pretty much every other server is getting hacked nowadays.

>such that any request for equipment to help "save" people has to be in quotes.

Your impression has then taken it too far - yes, there's a lot of drug war stuff, but USCG still does a tremendous amount of rescue work / assistance to mariners in distress / etc.
(Source: a bunch of coastie friends and my dad was one; also sailed a lot and have had enough observation/interaction with them to get a sense of this). Saving people absolutely does not need to be "in quotes" in reference to USCG.
Interesting. A quick perusal online and it seems they get by with bank statements/pay slips/tax documents to show that you're on the level. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-theres-no-credit-score...

I'm surprised that works at all. I wonder if it's quantitatively less 'effective'. (A quick Google didn't turn up much on that question.)
Employment is a sort of lending? Your argument doesn't even make sense.
This article the first instance I've heard of placing the mask directly on the sensor. I'd always had the impression that the coded aperture would be substituted for the original lens aperture. And the images I've found online seem to indicate that the aperture is macro-scale. This is something which could be imaged on lith film or hard-dot film.

I'd really like to play around with these techniques, but I don't know where to start. The only deconvolver I could find used Mathematica, so I'm not sure how useful making a coded aperture would be if I couldn't see the results.
The structs used as ‘class instaces’ aren’t statefull.

The compiler will actually optimise out the ‘default’ also, so it’s as efficient as calling a static method.

Anyway, nobody is arguing that this is some perfect system, merely that return type polymorphism can be achieved _relatively_ painlessly in a language other than Haskell.

We already have high quality fake stuff: plastics.

Ivory does not have any practical uses as a material that you could not copy with some kind of bulk produced material.

That's why piano keys were ivory until good enough plastics came along in the 1980's.

The only reason the trade is strong is because of tradition, not because we don't have alternatives.

Async Iterators are orthogonal to Streams/Rx Observables. Async Iterators are async "pull" operations (think disc I/O; pulling data record at a time from disc) and Streams/Observables are async "push" (think events like mouse clicks).

They work great together, using each's strengths to specific needs in an application.

Additionally, a lot of the weight of Rx is its large set of "higher order functions" beyond the basics of map/filter/reduce. Similar higher order functions are possible for async iterators. One such library for that is Ix, maintained by some overlap with the Rx team, and maintaining some consistency in operator names and APIs.

I've been using Async Iterables fairly heavily lately in an application in combination with Rx-like Observables (using the xstream library, rather than Rx) and Ix operators. I've been letting Typescript do all the downlevel compilation, and have been pretty happy with it in the use cases where I've been using it.

I've noticed a disturbing trend recently where this is becoming less true than we'd like to believe.

Try searching for news articles about GWB's 2nd term. Try to find opinion pieces about it. Try to name (and cite) a dozen different important events directly related to his administration.

It's doable, but it's not easy. Google's got a really short-term memory these days (unless, of course, you're trying to debug a problem in Linux, in which case these forum posts from 2010 are sure to help...).

It's a big part of why I take the time to maintain the bookmark database I've got: I don't trust that I'll be able to find articles like this one in the future.

It takes 30sec to 1min for Miraculin to "bond" to your tongue, but generally yes people do exactly this and you can find the book on Amazon. The advantage is that the effect lasts an hour or two, but comes with the problem that it costs $0.5-1.0 for each effect. You can find that in the same store.
I'm not discounting that it may be hard, but I still think you're overplaying what kind of difference it makes to your ability to do these types of things. I'm sure there are some people somewhere that works every waking moment, but I've yet to meet any. Including people with very little money and who work ridiculous hours.

What I have seen are lots of people who argue they have no time because they are tired and prioritize choices that are mentally easier and get stuck in a vicious circle that way. It may sounds like this advice is not meant for them, but I'd argue the opposite: It's exactly when you're in those kind of circumstances you need to learn to make time for these things. Learning how to make time to rest and reflect is one of the most essential skills you can learn if you want to find ways of improving your life.

And that applies just as much to poor people as to people with lots of money but stressful jobs - very few people think they have plenty of spare time.

If this was easy it'd be pointless advice - we'd all be doing it.

> Absolutely agreed. It is a privilege of the rich to optimize for the long term and to ignore short-term problems. Not taking breaks isn't something a lot of people do by choice - they are forced into it by circumstance and have a hard time getting out of it.

I disagree. There will always be corner cases, but I've been in plenty of situations where it was tempting to think I don't have time for breaks. But the moment you start thinking you don't have time for breaks it's doubly important to take them, because it implies you're too caught up in what you're doing to realize how you're affecting your own productivity. You'll do a shitty job not just in the long term but in the short term too.

A lot of people think they are forced into not taking breaks, but my experience is that most people who think they can't, very much can. You'll find even highly paid people in senior jobs insist they can't take breaks, and then spend hours acting like zombies instead, rather than take a break and keep their productivity up. Yes, there are the odd corner case with bad bosses that'll count every second you're not doing your job, but there are most certainly not hundreds of millions of people in those kind of circumstances in the US.

I can't quite visualize the problem. As long as you make the focal length of the first cylinder equal to the distance to the second cylinder + the distance from there to the sensor, and make the focal length of the second cylinder just the distance to the sensor, then both dimensions should converge at the right point?
It is crazy and reassuring that this the problem is not just in the United States.

I think Nathan makes a very good point. There are some people who are still on the rise w creativity and personal/professional growth. As a result of our own biases we focus so much attention on age over product (or product potential). This is unfortunate because we deny them an opportunity to shine and the world access to new, inventive options.

I completely agree. I went down the rabbit hole a few months ago and started reading some of Dennis Ritchie's papers on his home page. I particularly liked the C history linked below. I found it interesting around how the limits of the memory drove creation of things like the ++ an -- operators. Limitation being the mother of invention it's amazing, at least to me, how far we have come in such a relatively short period of time.

You might want to think that one through a little more closely, keeping in mind who is running the executive branch right now. They want you to think there is no purpose for the regulatory apparatus, and they are attempting to take no action against Equifax. It would certainly be useful to them if you took their inaction as proof that the regulatory apparatus has no purpose.

It can actually help everyone to write CSS more quickly and in a scalable and structured way. Not saying that everyone should and needs to get on the CSS-in-JS train, but I'd certainly recommend any team of any size to investigate it.

Also, it doesn't have any association with inline-css and -styling. What all new CSS-in-JS libraries do is generate actual stylesheets in a performant and sensible manner.
The point is that, in the South, sweetie isn't a gendered term. I'm a man and get called sweetie every day in a non-demeaning sense. When used pejoratively, it's essentially "bless your heart" condensed into a noun.

Interestingly, at least in my area, it's generally only used by women and effeminate gay men. As a result, actually using the term does imply effeminacy, so a straight man using it to insult a woman may be unknowingly implying something about himself which he'd find embarrassing.

What's with all these articles about CSS grid within a few days? I feel like someone who really doesn't like Bootstrap is paying for people to insist that CSS grid is ready for production.

Look at this:

78.08% global usage, and that's if you use autoprefixing.

That's just pathetic. I'm as much a fan of CSS grid as the next person, but no way I'm going to build a site or an app with it only to have my boss yell at me because ~20% of the audience says the design looks like garbage or doesn't work.

The sad reality is, this type of behavior is not confined to one party or the other. Money should have no place in politics, otherwise you end up with a plutocracy in a democracies clothing, which is where we have been for some time now.

Equifax is just one of many. After the 2008 financial crisis, no major banking executives saw jailtime. After the Volkswagen scandal on evading emissions tests, only a few low-level scapegoats got pinched. After Valeant systematically acquired and gutted the R&D of countless drug companies, only to raise the prices on existing drugs to levels far unreachable for the average customer, their CEO remained unscathed.

The US government is not a democracy and hasn't been for a long time. It can be bought, and those with deep pockets are treated as sovereign and effectively un-jailable.

I'm sure this criticism applies beyond the US as well, but I'm less familiar with other governments.

Yeah, the lack of a Stackoverflow or Github history doesn't mean someone didn't struggle as a programmer or is lying about their abilities. Maybe they just don't use the sites on a regular basis. Maybe they don't use them as a logged in member and actually get their answers as a guest based on what they typed in Google search. Or perhaps they found some other way to learn that didn't involve open source coding or asking questions online. Heck, I know I'm in that basket; the last time I asked a question on Stackoverflow was probably about two years ago, and even then that was probably the first one. And even to this day, I basically don't use Github at all, so anyone looking for my profile would also find no evidence of a 'struggle'.

There's no reason the person discussed in this story couldn't be in the same situation.
A company I work at more or less does the same thing, albeit in conjunction with a credit report. We're a marketplace lender operating internationally, and (from what I hear through the grapevine) it turns out the accuracy of credit reporting data outside of the US can be, put nicely, inaccurate.

Aside from that, if you want a business process for vetting credit to work across geographies, you can't be dependent on a particular agency or report being available for a specific locale. You _can_ however, almost always depend on a business keeping books and paying taxes.
