I've read one or two comments here about "we should conform to the standard". I'm a Brit, speak English and disagree.

It is handy to have a "Lingua Franca" (Frankish language or "French") and at the moment that is generally considered to be English (unless you happen to live in the rather large bits of the world where it isn't).

@vbezhenar is bloody close to fluent in my language. "I'm an ethnic Russian" is better than "I'm ethnical ..." and a few other minor points. Don't forget "the" and "a/an" - in English we don't have the definitive and indefinitive articles built in to our nouns.

I can be barely understood in a few other languages (DE, FR, ES, IT). I live in a small country where Scottish, Irish and Welsh are also considered native languages by some of the locals and with luck Cornish will soon join them.

I believe that if we all spoke the same language then that language would be very boring.

Once you learn that fact, and then avoid ever using

function name() {}

definitions, you will never have the problem of confusing hoisting actually happen to you...

Yes var had it's own set of problems (which you could argue make the alternative of assigning functions to variables bad) causing unexpected bugs but those have in turn been solved very well by const and let... and just like function names, there is also no reason to use var now.
Exactly. The banks can and will screw you over, and they caused the damned issues in the first place! Morals have no place here, I think.

"E.g you’re a manager so you rate an office, and you move to product manager and suddenly the rules say you should be in an open space"

That already shows the problem. Why are offices by rank and not by need? From a rational point of view the big guys probably dodn't even need an office because they are either in meeting rooms or traveling. I don't want an office as status symbol but as a place where I can actually think clearly.
I still run a T61p (bedroom), T420, and T430. I keep wanting a new one but they're all plugging along just fine. On the T420 right now.

The conclusion to the story:

> The traffic flow began to wane when the road construction ended, Connor said, but remains three or four times higher than before it began. For some drivers, their app-inspired shortcut became a permanent route.

HN on the WaPo article from 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846722
I bought one of these things last year around September. I had the 12 inch 2016 MacBook before it.

tl;dr buy a keyboard cover if you have this machine, or just contend with cleaning under the key with alcohol.

I've had a fairly good experience with the keyboard on these machines. The 12 inch MacBook had a perfect keyboard. I love the low travel keyboard and they really got it right.

But then on the MacBook Pro, it seems like the butterfly mechanism was changed to make it more susceptible to foreign matter causing key malfunctions. Admittedly I eat at the computer, so this is probably my fault, but the 12 inch MacBook didn't do this.

Either way, every time oddities like double characters or non-responsive keys happened, I'd carefully pry up the key, use a q-tip soaked in 70% isopropyl alcohol and just clean out the area. You have to get a LITTLE bit of alcohol into the actual switch dome. Basically, you take the q tip with alcohol on it and dab the middle of the little dome madly for a while. Then you stick the key back on and it usually works.

I got really unhappy about how often this started happening, especially since some keys' retention clips broke after so many removal cycles, so I just bought a silicone keyboard cover (the MoKo) one off Amazon. It held the keys in place.

No more problems. That's what it took. It works great now. And the cover doesn't even make it terrible to type on, due to the low travel.
There isn't really, or at least the difference is almost always argued/decided post hoc.
Thanks, will bring up these points with our advisers in this area
The iconic creature is Mexico’s national symbol, and, because it breeds easily in an aquarium, a beloved pet around the globe. So many axolotls live in captivity that certain restaurants in Japan serve up the axolotl as a fried snack. Many thousands of axolotls a year are also used in scientific research: Because of their miraculous regeneration abilities, axolotls are studied in labs the world over. But in the Xochimilco canals around Mexico City, the axolotl’s only remaining natural habitat, pollution and the loss of water habitat mean that the axolotl has become a rare sight.

Wouldn't that mean it's the wild axolotl which is threatened, but otherwise it has been essentially domesticated? Of course the body of the article explains more, but the headline is quite sensational, implying that all axolotls are disappearing.
It's only really radical in the US.

Grids are bad. They encourage traffic. They turn everything into a snarl. Look at Manhattan, it's a disaster!

A scale-free network makes through-traffic impossible in residential areas. That is a good thing. People don't want commuters constantly driving by when their kids are out playing.

The goal of a road network is to connect everything, not to guarantee a shortest path from every point to every other point.

That seems pretty likely to be true of Github. But for Stack Overflow, I would be really surprised. Stack Overflow has had a huge and thriving C# community from the start, and it's got so much page rank that questions about any language, "web" or not, are likely to lead there. The only languages that seem likely to be underrepresented are ones that are mainly used by people who learned them long ago and aren't gaining any more users (like MUMPS or something), since those people are unlikely to have questions.
I haven’t had any issues with the 2016 tb version. But then that’s only 1 data point! Actually it’s the best Mac I’ve owned by far. The keyboard has been a big improvement as has the trackpad, screen, speakers, build quality and switch to USB c, reduced weight and size, etc. I upgraded from the redesigned 2012 which had a lot of glitches. New designs always take a while to work out all of the glitches. But generally I don’t see a lot of threads on bad keyboards. So I suspect this is fairly isolated.
Being able to write:

for (let x in list) {
callbacks.push(function () { x+3 });
}

instead of:

for (var x in list) {
callbacks.push((function (x) {
function () { x + 3 }
})(x);
}

is a huge advantage to me. (yes, I know arrow function notation exists, but given I was explaining "why I love let" it would've been unfair to use it in the "good" example)

Isn't this like using a 'Persona' for content marketing? I have come across a few affiliate-heavy sites in very competitive niches which had a similar persona behind them... Dig a bit deeper and all the claims to fame, like 'mentioned in Forbes', 'consultant for this', 'expert on that' just disappear.

I am not against personas per-se, but that should be evident.
Right but India and China have solid gdp growth for decades, and have been educating hundreds of millions and pulling them out of poverty while Russia: https://tradingeconomics.com/russia/gdp-growth

Three decades ago Russia had a literacy rate of like 99%++, while China was at like 60-70%. There was a lot of "free" growth to be had in China (obviously not free) by lifting the population. China's still got room to grow there.

But did you have somebody leaving with you, and NOT using Waze to prove that Waze does cut commute down compared to something else?

Disclaimer: I usually do use Waze commuting, but find its suggestions in certain places downright bizarre.
Not just that, but I have yet to come across a piece of software that is both free and comparable to MySQL Workbench. It makes designing the database ridiculously easy.
It's ludicrous that Los Angeles politicians are blaming Waze for this, when it's their own fault for failing to approve and build higher-volume and better roads. I smirk every time I read some bureaucrat blaming apps that demonstrably make our lives better instead of owning up to their own impotence and incompetence.
> (Libertarians') usual position is that roads should be privatized and tolled

Do libertarians think this will lead to rich neighborhoods having much better roads than poor people and think that's fine, or is there some reason to think that wouldn't happen? To my mind, the fundamental the difference between a free-market approach and a socialist approach is: if you want something to be cheap more than you want it to be fair, you privatize it and let the free market work its magic, and if you want something to be fair (for some definition of "fair" defined by the legislature) more than you want it to be cheap, you socialize it and put a bunch of inefficient bureaucrats in charge.

We as a society use the former system for things like pants and potato chips, and the latter approach for most types of infrastructure, and I wonder if anyone can really predict all of the things we'd lose from abandoning that. If every road I personally drive on were kept in good repair but a lot of the other roads in my town went to shit, I would be adversely affected in a lot of subtle and impossible-to-send-someone-a-bill-for ways.

I think their point is that the repression that you're discussing is largely pre-Krushchev; that's not quite a century ago, but it's a world away from what life in the USSR was like by the 1980s.

At the margin, yes. LendEDU's behaviour, here, is far from the margin.

One element is in choosing sensible battles. Uber and Airbnb fought municipal governments. Zenefits got creative with states and Theranos with the federal government. They (EDIT: Uber and Airbnb) each also fought their battles in a way that made (a) investors money and (b) consumers happy. In this case, the ones being deceived are the consumers. In the process of being sold lending products. That's stupid, desperate rule breaking.

I'm a fan of applying congestion charges to every road, not just arterials. Why not? We have the technology. The price mechanism is what lets us allocate scarce resources to their most efficient use, and applying it to the very short term real estate market for road space can only ensure that we get the maximum economic value out of a fixed number of lane miles.
"Proof of stake" does not appear to have anything to do with "proof" in the logical sense. I really, really do not think the incompleteness theorems are at all relevant here. Apologies, but this reads just like every other nonsensical attempt to invoke the incompleteness theorems without a good understanding of what they actually say. (Like, how are you possibly going to get proof of stake to simulate arithmetic?)

> This description fits Los Angeles pretty well. In 2001, Los Angeles County boasted 21,085 lane miles of maintained highways. In 2016, that number had not budged much, growing to only 21,826 lane miles. In the same period of time, the number of vehicle-miles traveled by Los Angeles commuters rose by some 10 million per day.

A major reason why vehicle-miles traveled increased is that constructing new housing in Los Angelos is illegal. People still wanted to join the city, but now they must commute in from further and further away.

Congestion is the inevitable result. Housing policy and transportation policy are inextricably tied.
Unfortunately I'm not sure that explains it in any way that a non-maker would get. It's basically missing the last panel, where the dev writes a _new_ bug that costs millions of dollars because of the distraction.

Coming from an occam/transputer background (in the 1980s) I felt goroutines were too low level. Luckily its trivial to add a PAR-like construct via sync.WaitGroup (e.g. github.com/atrn/par). That said Go's channels are far easier to work with - buffering and multi-producer/-consumers being very common needs which, in occam, you implement yourself. The lack of guards in Go's ALT (select) is a shame and the nil channel hack is just that, a hack.

Oracle is litigious. This seems to be deep into "poke the bear" territory.

It also depends on your learning style when it comes to languages. For someone like me, who learns languages more aurally (listening and speaking) than visually (reading and writing), writing systems aren’t that hard to learn but they’re hard to master in terms of reading at normal speed.

With any text in a Latin alphabet, in any language, show me the phonology of the language and I can read it aloud at normal speed with decent pronunciation within a few hours. If it’s in a different writing system, it’s going to take me days or longer to get up to even a moderate reading speed—and a lot of that would be cheating by just memorising the text and using the writing as a cue.

While that's certainly true, people also suffer great harm at the hands of licensed doctors.

But more to the point, almost everyone suffers harm because of the way our medical system is set up.

But anyhow, more transparency is almost always good. Particularly in the morass that is the American medical system. I keep wondering how ever let something so important get like this.
One of the things that free software lacks strength is in EDA tools.
