Have you looked at ynab.com? I find their overall philosophy on budgeting to be more effective, the app is high quality, and it's solely about your budget, not about offering you credit cards.

It's one of the few products I recommend to anyone, and it's relatively expensive ($85 for the year I believe).

I'm convinced it's the changes in the tax laws at the root cause of this. When income over $400k/yr (5 mil in todays money) was taxed at 90% there wasn't the incentive to screw over retirees. The "bizarre just-after-WW2 period" wasn't some fluke it was the result of purposely crafted policies.
PBS Nova Episode about History of Statistics and Probability
I usually only visit my family a couple times a year. I always notice when I do visit them how much I had been missing being able to hug someone.

I'm glad articles like this are helping to raise awareness of the dimensions of interaction we've suppressed in recent years. As important as boundaries are, we also have to acknowledge our natures as physical, tactile, animal creatures. We're not mere Enlightenment-era conceptions of beings of pure reason. We're embedded and embodied and have millions of years of programming to make us what we are. In the same way that modern societies have learned about the issues of unhealthy repression of things like sexuality, we also have to take care that we don't repress things like touch or aggression, which are in our nature and actually do have legitimate places in our being. We wouldn't be comfortable with alienation and isolation in our pets; we're not so different.

It seems hardly new to me that you generally don't hug or pat strangers, or colleagues you haven't established good terms with (yet). If people engage less in social grooming (-ish/like) behaviours, then this most likely is caused by (1) smaller social circles and/or (2) social interaction being handled through "social media", not in-person.

Behaviours in the "social grooming" category are extremely important for humans, even though we, as a species, developed language specifically to reduce the need for it in maintaining relationships in larger group sizes. This fact is reflected in these behaviours being reserved for relationships of at least some intimacy; proportional to the behaviour in question (e.g. hug -> friend, snuggling -> SO).

Worth pointing out that some have been professionalized for a while now (like getting a haircut).

An obvious way this can harm Linux is by giving junior users coming from a windows environment a way to do much of the things GNU/Linux can do - even if it's potentially inferior (would they even know?) - without actually becoming a user of anything running the Linux kernel.

Do you expect the Linux kernel to continue being runnable on contemporary laptops if decreasing numbers of users are even attempting to boot it?

The same thing happens with Docker on Windows in the datacenter. If users embrace the MS offering, and it runs their Linux containers, there will be less resources going into Linux kernel development from the server world.

Google going the fuscia/zircon or whatever it's called now route further diminishes the resources put into the Linux kernel.

I don't think there's any reason to reject the observation that there's a lot of competition in this space and a number of these moves substantially threaten Linux's relevance in the long-term.

The exodus of users to OSX has already been quite harmful to GNU/Linux's progress on the desktop. If it weren't for Intel investing so heavily in Linux kernel development I don't think we'd have modern wifi or gpu support, not from the community alone.

Much of what I describe above is the Embrace phase. Once a sufficient number of users are running their Linux userspace components on proprietary underlying kernels, the relevant companies can start investing in "improving" userspace in incompatible ways only their kernels implement - perhaps in patent-protected ways - Extend. Voila, you're locked in. And since the Linux kernel wouldn't have the development resources it once had, it just falls behind into obsolescence.
I'd love to see a screencast. I'm mostly an emacser but I like vi ergonomics very much, and would love to see the approach here.

> there is no symmetric identity like 0 for addition and subtraction or 1 for multiplication or division

0 is an identity for addition, but not for subtraction. 1 is an identity for multiplication, but not for division. They are right identities for these operations, but 1 is also a right identity for exponentiation.
That's an interesting observation though, I left home in 2011, and after a year of living alone, not being in a relationship I realised I had not been physically touched by another human being in that entire year. This realisation came as I shook hands with a new employer.

My next human contact would be three months later, I would be patted on the back for doing /something/ but the feeling was so foreign to me... Despite being an isolated person in general I don't like the idea that I pretty much _must_ be in a relationship for human contact, and I don't want to only touch one person. There is something distinctly lonely in mental boundary between one person and another if you can't actually have a "real" feeling moment.

GUIDE TO UPLOAD PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON INSTAGRAM VIA LAPTOP/DESKTOP/MAC 2018
Lifecycles are important if you need to do some arbitrary DOM manipulation upon mounting an element to the DOM tree. For example, you may want to render a google map when navigating to some route.

"Overcomplication" is in the eye of the beholder. You can't tell your client that his wanting a map in the contact page is "overcomplicating a conceptually simple process". At some point, if a system's restrictions are too strict for the sake of simplicity/beauty/etc, then it ceases to be useful in the real world.
Judging from the mad rush into investing in “cryptos” I disagree that this isn’t settled.

You just may not like how it settled.
The same would apply to any digital content (zero-copy cost) which can be substituted. For example, why watch film A when film B is available more cheaply. Of course, it's difficult to have substitutions for entertainment (for various reasons)... right now.

However, I do think the long-term trend here is downwards as well and I'd use music as an example. With streaming services, the cost of music is much lower compared to purchasing music. The streaming service acts as an aggregator for different content and has an incentive to pick the cheaper content (with the opposing force of consumers wanting particular things). But really, if the quality is high and the music chosen to be played is automatic (via recommendations) the underlying artist is less significant (in general - I know people can be fans).

As I said in another comment, I'm pretty sure "same millisecond" is being used by the photographer in the sense of "same instant" or "same moment in time" not literally same millisecond based on a super-accurate time source. That information does not exist in the photo's EXIF data which is one-second resolution and typically derives from a manual time/date setting in the camera's menu.

Just for the record I think all of this is very reasonable, with a couple of minor caveats. It's not a self advertisement, just an ad for some colleagues. Also I think the discussion above is interesting, but operates on the presumption that I demanded a citation. I didn't, I just said they didn't cite something that is (implicitly in my opinion) very relevant. Indeed, it is not always possible or appropriate to cite everything that's very relevant, and their (almost certainly more valid) opinion of what's relevant might vary.

Also this seemed like a fun and bizarrely civil discussion for the internet. Well done all.

> People who spent many years developing C++ already understand what the standard library offers

That statement isn't true for (at least) me. The main reason is that I'm usually working on code that must be compile-able as C++11, and/or may require an old-ish version of gcc's standard C++ library.

So in my daily work I usually have little/no reason to interact with the newer parts of the standard library.

>> The endless red tape in new construction makes non-luxury bulidings unprofitable. Want cheaper rents? Fast-track approval for new apt buildings.

> Luxury buildings are more profitable because rooms are more spacious (literally requires less construction), you need to make fewer sales to make the same revenue (in a 10 story building you sell 40 condos instead of 80) and buyers are more financially stable (each sale is easier). Removing red tape has nothing to do with that.

You're misunderstanding the GP's point. They're saying that heightened building costs make it irrational to choose to build lower-margin projects like non-luxury housing, because you don't have the margin to absorb those costs.
So Woodward and Bernstein's reporting was worthless because you could not identify and seek out Mark Felt and ask him questions?

There are legitimate reasons to keep sources anonymous, especially as it pertains to criminal investigations. Journalists have legal protections that allow them to keep the identities of their sources private. I understand that it's suboptimal to appeal to authority and say that you should just trust Woodward and Bernstein on the matter, but that authority was hard-earned over a long period of time. It should not be discounted.

Maybe extend the a hassle of tenant law to short term rentals? Or eliminate some of the hassle, if it is unnecessary. But even without any changes, there is only so much of a market for short term rentals. At some point, the market will balance out, so long as supply is not artificially constrained.
I'm fairly knowledgeable about knots and rope (I used to know almost every knot in the Ashley book of knots and can still tie a couple hundred from memory). There may be some knowledge to gain from a knot, but hardly what is presented.

Most people know an overhand, basic bow, reef/granny, slip knot, and half-hitch. They may cobble together a more advanced knot on accident, but that hardly proves experience. The use of climbing, fishing, or rescue knots could indicate something, but that's about the extent without going into pure guesswork.

In the butcher example, the easiest explanation is that the knot came untied, so they added a couple extra wraps to keep it together and probably had no idea it was a different knot used in a particular field.

Much more useful knowledge could be gained by the kind of rope, rope age, and wear patterns.

I am not taking issue with the author of the post as I agree, that is likely the intent. But folks here seem to be parroting it as fact rather than taking the liberty you and I seemed to do.
Fair enough. But animals don't have to follow the set of ethics/morals that we seem to value as a species.

I'm not saying that this system wouldn't be more prolific or that regulations would somehow cause it to evolve quicker or something. I'm saying that if we want to to work in a way that we believe is ethical and just, then we need to regulate it otherwise it will carry on in a predatory way.
In one particular sense, it is true that there are genetic elements of race and that some genetic diseases are more prevalent among those of one race than another. But once you start drilling down into what we mean by "race", it's not at all a simple picture. For one thing, there are almost no markers that are perfectly diagnostic for race—almost any particular polymorphism is found in almost every race, though at different frequencies. Furthermore, some of what naively you would consider a race (e.g. "Black" or "White") is composed of multiple, genetically distinct populations that are no more closely related to each other than to other populations not in that race.

So most serious geneticists have tended to move away from thinking of "race" as closely linked to genetics—the complicated contours of both population genetics and what we mean when we talk about race just don't fit together all that well, and coupled with a history of unethical policies justified by overly simplistic scientific knowledge in this field, it's best to be careful about the terms we use.
I agree, stick with something.
