I've found Sharp to have the most intuitive UI, and would probably never buy any other brand. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a GE microwave built in to my apartment kitchen, but Sharp was what I was used to for many years. You enter a time, you hit "start" or "timer" and it counts down. Other brands seem to have UI designed by Martians - I could write a book on the ways they are screwed up.

Picking your battles may in fact be (one of) the things that'd set one apart. You can get bogged down in the weeds of dependencies. You can also end up with kludgy half-solutions to persistent problems by treating them like black boxes.

But, before you you can pick battles you need to treat such things as possibilities, something you've done before an feel comfortable doing.
US provides nuclear umbrella to several allies. To maintain credible nuclear deterrence escalation ladders are needed. It's not credible to assume that US would be willing to lose millions of citizens in major US metropolitan areas to revenge Warsaw or Tokyo in nuclear tit-for-tat.

NATO has nuclear sharing arrangement to maintain steps in the nuclear escalation ladder (B61 bombs dropped by aircraft operated by host country). Nuclear Tomahawks were used in 80's to provide similar nuclear umbrella to Japan. US was never willing to launch ICBM's from US soil to defend Japan. Any response would have been from Tomahawks launched from US subs, aircraft os surface vessels close to Japan. When US retired Nuclear Tomahawks there were long discussions with Japanese on how to maintain the deterrence.

There is no ideological competition anymore. As a result the probability of regional nuclear conflict has increased not decreased. Shelling points would become unclear if US would only have ICBM's.
I do think it is a bit disingenuous that the author compares this to a classic web application and its data needs, when the needs here are so trivial. It is very well designed for what it does (the security needs of such a checker almost dictates the design), but is a model usable by very few applications.

As an aside, the article talks a bit about Brotli and it's worth noting that Brotli is nothing more than LZ77 with a dictionary pre-seeded with a 119KB static dictionary of commonly seen web text. It is of course going to be fantastic for compressing an HTML document, where much of the content is verbose and common, but would do nothing above gzip for the hash result data. I would be surprised if it yielded a single byte of savings in that case. Brotli is supported by most browsers as it was snuck into the WOFF 2.0 standard, so browsers that support the new web font standard automatically have to support Brotli.

I'd say we shouldn't try hard to teach our children about computers/coding from an early age. Don’t get me wrong; I do believe that engineering and programming are important skills. But only in the right context, and only for a matured brain willing to put in the necessary blood, sweat and tears to succeed. The same could be said of many other skills. I'm not sure about US but, here in South East Asia, school mathematics & science courses are more than enough of cognitive load for a 10 to 15 years old.

When I was in school, I was passionate about Chemistry, fascinated with the idea that how proper composition of chemicals could produce useful compounds until I got to play with actual physical instruments in the lab when I reached high school. I'd decided that I was going to become the best mechanical engineer to ever live (you know childish talks).

Alas, however, I started loving computers more than ever and now they are my life. My point is, Focusing on coding inflates the importance of finding the “right” method to solve a problem rather than the importance of understanding the problem.
Really interesting. I've always been a squatter for no apparent reason (white, raised by middle class republicans in california).

I often sit semi-squatted at my computer; basically my feet on the seat and thighs against my chest. I've actually avoided this consciously since it seemed like 'bad posture'.

I wonder if I have actually been actively avoiding something I should be doing more of. It's always felt more comfortable this way.
I definitely don’t. I live in a moderate climate and I’m under a blanket/sheet of any kind maybe 9 months a year.
I understand there are workarounds, but they are just that. I mean, for example, I'm working away but hit a bug in a dependency. Now i have to fork, submodule, etc.

I'm not expecting frictionless per se. But it just feels like there's more overhead than there needs to be.

Also, it's possible (in rare cases) the vendor folder is not .gitignore'd. Now what? Submodules is out.

Again, given the nature of most modern dev (i.e., dependencies) vit feels underprepared.

Re: "...but by switching away from the original you lose tooling support for telling you when you need to make that update..."

Yes. But doesn't this actually support the idea (mentioned above) not to treat your dependencies like black boxes? That is, no pain no gain? Yeah, perhaps some sort of simple notification your fork needs an update. Just the same, ALL code should, in theory, be treated as your own. You wouldn't blindly merge/commit a colleague's work, so why shouldn't your dependencies be semi thoroughly reviewed as well?

Are we too busy to do the right thing(s)?
Yes. If we define life as something that lessens local entropy, then the possibilities are vast indeed.
As a fellow European, I am also regularly surprised by the absolute reverence to the US Constitution. Sure, it is a fundamental law and it cannot be changed lightly, but like any other piece of legislation it seems normal to update it regularly.

Edit : after looking at the actual list of amendments, at least one was repelled after being introduced (regarding the Prohibition) so it seems they are not as immutable as I believed.
>Well yeah, in practice, we can say an asset's value is what the buyer and seller agreed upon for the price, but I'm asking about valuing it while it's being held for taxation purposes

Hah, it's kind of zen - if a house isn't being offered for sale, does it really have a selling-price?

As a hypothetical, you could mandate that people put a value on their house, and then say "you must accept offers more than Nx that price - so say, if N=2 and you value your house at $1million, then if someone offers $2mil, you automatically sell.

Then, charge them tax based on their own evaluation. If they value it way too low for the purposes of tax fraud, then someone will just buy their house for said stupidly-low price and sell it at market-price for a profit.

I mean, there are all sorts of social problems with it (that might well sink it), but it seems like a pretty nifty solution to the problem.

>I absolutely fell in love with them and haven't looked back

Same for me. In university you really just a get a taste of them, usually limited to one section of a design patterns course. But man, for certain cases they really make it easy to reason about complex workflows, that otherwise would be buried in generic flow control statements spread across multiple classes, or modules. In our app, there was a flaky and bug-prone area. It wasn't always like that. It started very simple but as feature grew the workflow become more complex. Anytime someone added anything related to that module it almost always broke something else, or introduce a leak that we found 3 months later. It was an area where you really had to focus whenever you made a change and even code reviews would miss it.

It took me about a week to document the implicit state machine, another week to roll my own state machine implementation tailored for that component, and one more week to refactor the code. It's been 5 years, our dev team tripled in size and it's been probably the most rock-solid module in that time. I'm not worried that some junior dev will introduce some esoteric regression issue downstream.
> At no point does it ever cost 2^n or any x^n.

That's only true if your n is referring to the number of iterations of each loop. If your n instead refers to the number of nested loops, you will indeed get a runtime of O(2^n).

Seeing as in this context we were talking about varying the number of nested loops, it makes sense that we would define our variable n = number of nested loops.
Is there anything in JupyterLab like the clusters tab in the classic notebook? How are you using it as a front end to a cluster?
global refinement and unrefinement steps are unnecessary, yes. It just makes the implementation of the demo so much easier. It is possible to only refine the patch, and then fuse the patch with the original mesh, and then global refinement is not necessary. But this is actually surprisingly tricky to robustly implement in practice, and did not implement it mostly due to time restrictions, and to keep the demo code short and readable.
His prediction would carry a lot more weight if he had written about it prior to the recession. A lot of people can say "I predicted that" after it happened, but those who have proof they can point to have a lot more credibility. All he has is that he "won a bet" after a "conversation with a friend."

Unless he was wrote about it ahead of time, we have no way of knowing whether he also made a similar bet with another friend in a different conversation to say that housing prices were going to continue towards the moon. If he had also structured the bet in which he got his school payed for and seemingly no downside if he lost, then he could have guaranteed free school, and looked like Nostradamus either way.

So it's quite possible that this is selection bias at work, and he "flips coins" on a regular basis and only brags about the ones that come up heads.

I wanted to stick with the language side this that is what the original article was about. But yes, in large games you wouldn't do all that stuff in C#/C++/etc, you'll most likely use a data driven approach. However this can still be put at the gameplay side of the engine to provide the base. For example if you look at the mod tools for RPG engines like Aurora, Creation Kit and REDEngine you'll see that they have inherent knowledge about base item types like armor, monster, etc, but they rely on data for the specific items (and scripts for the exceptional behavior). The easiest to see that is with the Creation Kit based games like Skyrim since it gives you a nice GUI to create/edit each different item type.

I was an uninhibited schizoid when I was in secondary school. Loud, disruptive, annoying, trashed a lot of potential of friendship and acceptance, basked in name-calling. It was probably my most mentally liberated time of my life.

But ever since I left, I wonder if I've learned to conceal these behaviours to maintain the life and career I currently have. So the article kind of unnerves me, leaves me wondering I falling into the same mental traps described. Either that, or maybe I've learned to manage by behaviour in a different way. Self knowledge is a fickle thing.

Perhaps I misinterpreted the concept of “degrees of separation”, but I was expecting the site to tell me how to start at page X and get to page Y with the min number of clicks. If you wanted to achieve this, it doesn’t strike me as appropriate to use Bidirectional BFS but IANAL.

I did notice that someone pointed out that they get different results by swapping the order of X and Y. This seems pretty surprising?

I agree. For me what matters most is language implementation (compiler/VM quality, GC quality, etc) and important libraries (and whether they are good). Language itself is not very important. I can write boilerplate, but I can't write GC implementation. So while I don't like Go language, for example, its implementation is very good and I can live with it.

Take breaks to rest your back! Humans aren't "designed" to hold the same position for hours on end. Even short (20 second, even) breaks can be extremely helpful:

Lie on your back. Knees bent / legs up, so your back is fully supported by the floor. Arms at your sides, hands on your stomach or whatever the most neutral position is. Small pillow / book under your head to keep that portion of your spine properly curved.

By "the time spent each function", how is that different from http://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html? The only thing I can think of is that typically the x axis in flamegraphs is sorted alphabetically and aggregated and you could instead try to do this chronologically and in isolation.

I'm curious which workflows you think your approach would be well suited for. In my case, I was investigating a webpack build process and flamegraphs served me well because with over 2000 modules seeing the data in aggregate is actually helpful. Though if purely for educational purposes, you can always do this chronologically and focus on a subset if the running time is too long
