> Like anything in the art world, it may be misleading to talk about quality at all.

Here's the reality in the humble opinion of a person who understands some art at a sophisticated level and other art not well at all:

Talking about quality is not at all misleading; the idea that quality is just a matter of arbitrary opinion is just false; it's a nice populist notion that people use to comfort themselves when they don't understand something. I used to do it too: 'It's not me; it's the art that's failed.'

There are very real differences in quality. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. Just because something can't be proven quantitatively doesn't mean it doesn't exist (let's start with love and beauty).

If you take that way out, you are cutting yourself off from some of the great insights and achievements of humankind. Instead of comforting yourself, accept there are things that are difficult, even intimidating, for you to understand - that challenge your self-perception as a genius - and either take the challenge of learning them or be realistic and humble enough to accept your ignorance. Having taken the challenge, it has opened up worlds and wonders to my understanding. FWIW, I find it's hard to force myself to grasp the insights at a desired moment; I just have to be open to them, work at it, and one day the light bulb turns on.
Coding Interviews are “AntiPattern”?
I remember putting money into Kiva around 2007, it was increments of $50 IIRC.

Unfortunately, I lost a job and the ability to work, spent 401k, went bankrupt and lost access to the email address to my Kiva account. It seems ironic as I no longer have even $5. I don’t really worry about money anymore with serious endocrinological, ophthalmological and neurological problems... sleeping 12 hours and awake for 60 hours might place small limitations on life.
Python adds new syntax in nearly every minor release. You can see samples here:

https://github.com/jwilk/python-syntax-errors

I don't know what's "covert" about these updates. They are always documented.

Also I don't understand why you put disruptive syntax changes in Python 3.X in one basket with backwards-compatible syntax additions like f-strings or the @ operator.
The fact that you assume that age and gender don't make a difference in this age of big data, doesn't make sense.

I am 100% sure that if I went and "the code is the contract"ed whatever ends up being DAO2.0 out of 5% of all existing ETH, that Vitalik would come save it "just this once" one more time...

>What does privacy rules have to do with monopoly or anti-trust?

They are becoming related.

Monopoly laws traditionally apply to commercial transactions.
Facebook's customers are not experiencing a monopoly, they can easily switch to other ad-space vendors.

Many of Facebook's "crop" however happen to be voters who feel new laws are required to deal with Facebook's "network monopoly" especially as it is entirely arbitrary, harmful and very profitable.

Privacy aka legal ownership and control of data is one way to erode that "network monopoly".
I always worry about legal implications. Living in California, the legal advice I see always tells me to incorporate in my state of residence. Could having a Delaware LLC be seen as tax evasion by the IRS or the Franchise Tax Board?
I don't think I've ever seen the Golang creators talk about devs misusing generics. It that's ever been said, it's in the context of compile time. The argument has always been about avoiding complexity at compile time, and within the compiler, which I think is a very noble goal.
> It’s like an insurance company calling itself “Gospel”

Is that offensive? Doesn't seem like it to me.
How about: if you're peddling software design advice, take some time to make (or find) a realistic example so I don't have to imagine so hard.

Somewhere around 1989 I swore that the next author of an OOP book that used animals as class examples was going to get an angry personal visit from me.

"Suppose you have an Animal class. We subclass to a Cat, and add a Meow method..." If it wasn't animals, it was cars: "we'll subclass Car to create a Ford class, add a Horn property..."

Because Customer/Vendor/Invoice was too commonplace? Between Customer classes and Animal classes, I'll give you a hint as to which I've created more instances of.
Kinda. For the state I live in, it is believed that if it's just for "image" appeal it may not be considered a privacy concern [0]. So if you worked for QuitGenius in TX and part of their image is non-smoking, they may have such a requirement. But for affecting insurance premiums, nope (federal HIPAA violation). I think this is reasonable. Other states have laws that don't allow the employer to restrict off-duty legal activities. I personally appreciate Texas's approach to employer freedom until it becomes a problem. They take the same approach towards municipalities wrt smoking laws (i.e. statewide ban in many types of public places that were a problem then defer to local voters for others).

I agree. The more alternatives to react and angular the better.

React has a massive API for what is something essentially quite simple.

Personally my favourite "alternative" rendering library is hyperdom. Fast, simple and just gets the job done.

Heh, that's the trap. Your CIO bluffed them into a price this time. You can be sure you will be in for an unpleasant surprise next time you go to renew.
All of the legs of the flight are the same price regardless of whether you book them together or separately.

They're not really selling a "stopover" so much as just convincing you to buy plane tickets for what they already cost.

Conspiranoic? I'm just pointing out that (as solomatov summarises) that these things are complicated, and that saying that one simple comparison is wrong, and another equally simple one is right does not work.

One factor that I suspect solomatov was originally hinting at, is that back in the 1960s when house prices were low against incomes, interest rates were so high that the monthly payments, as a proportion of their income, were roughly the same as they are today. However, that ignores the fact that saving up $SALARY * 2.4 / 5 for a 20% deposit in 1960, wouldn't have taken as long as saving up $SALARY * 4.2 / 5 would today. That only considers the US national medians mentioned in the article. The really unaffordable places are even worse. The longer you need in order to reach the savings target you originally set, the more you are affected by house price increases adding even more time to that period.

As you say, there are several reasons for the unaffordability of home ownership. My point is they are not all completely independent of each other and are even influenced by house prices themselves.

None of this is conspiracy, just market behaviour.

It does, if you access your cable modem's web interface you'll find rebooting is the only function you can perform otherwise it is read only.

ISPs manage Cable Modems regardless of who owns them. It's part of the subscriber agreement.

If you have an all-in-one device that is a cable modem, router, switch, and wifi ap all-in-one; the cable modem is still managed by the ISP.
They won't show up on your local network. They're on a type of guest wifi.

If you connect to your local Xfinity wifi connection, you might be able to sniff them out, if the wifi allows "promiscuous" connections.

(Promiscuous mode works because LANs are like cell networks - they operate on an "honor system", where all devices on the network receive all IP packets, but ignore those which don't match their address.)
It would be fun to port the Mac version to x86.
We shouldn't go too far with this line of thinking either.

When things are immutable design early.

Consider an api. You can build a basic api without a version parameter when you release. When you need to change the api and keep backwards compability you introduce a version parameter. You are forever stuck with the first version being the default.
Just gotta know where to go. A local vendor at small Mediterranean town I visited sold 1.75L of one the most delicious red wines of my entire vacation for barely €3.

> Trump’s call-capable cellphone has a camera and microphone, unlike the White House-issued cellphones used by Obama. Keeping those components creates a risk that hackers could use them to access the phone and monitor the president’s movements.

So Obama's call-capble cellphone didn't have a microphone because they were afraid hackers could use it to track his movements.
Does anyone proof read these articles?
You sound a lot like the catholic church here. It could have been 25 pretty nice years, and in the last 5 both people found that they had grown apart over time and mutually decided they might look for something else (maybe after the kids are out of the house, etc if they have kids). I have no idea if thats the case here. Blanket statements on the morality of human relationships are rather foolish.
Will you forgive me for putting AI on both lists? Because AI is, I think, significantly over-hyped, and yet also is succeeding and will continue to do so - just not enough to live up to the hype.

How the math men overthrew the mad men
Definitely. I've had a hard time convincing people to do the required repetitions. They end early and say that they can't juggle. The few people that have, successfully juggle in a relatively short amount of time. Their form isn't great and they can't keep it up for a long time, but they have a great start.

A couple other exercises/tips worth mentioning:

- Start with your non-dominant hand for 2 balls as well (alternate which hand you start with).

- Stand over a couch or bed to make it less costly to drop a ball.

- Stand in front of a wall to notice when you're moving forward.

- For the advanced: try two in one hand (much harder than 3). Will make 3 ball juggling easier.
Understood, it might not fit for every shop.
For quite a lot of shops it works quite well though.

I guess that it wasn't so much that the add-on came at a cost, but more that it was:

a) a 3rd party developer

b) the only option

As you said it was just one of your issues.
Funny, I bet more people know how to raytrace a sphere in software than know how to rasterise a polygon these days. Neither is terribly hard (or terribly useful, to the average dev.)
I don't think it will effect the industry nearly as much as it did in the past. Tech is simply more integrated into society now, the fundamental thesis is proven in a way that it wasn't in the 2000s. Its akin to the early days of TV when it was a luxury to the 70s-00s where it was where the average american spent most of their free time (and note that its dominance has been supplanted by the internet).
I've always thought this was a great opportunity for VR. Pop on your favorite VR headset and see the sights without having to fight the crowds or spend a fortune getting there.

And being VR it could add the optional time-travel element so you could go back to see whatever historical event made the place famous... :)
Why wouldn't some form of ray tracing or path tracing eventually take over once we have the necessary hardware and software and standard APIs to do it at high resolution and high framerates? What features does polygon rasterization give us that can't be replicated any other way?
To "revive" RSS, wider support from content providers is needed, not from software to consume feeds.

Can't display a feed that doesn't exist!
This is a great point; however, we wanted to bring the user experience to the desktop. You are more than welcome to submit a PR to make this application web compatible.
I don't think many sites removed RSS, but many new sites and services in the last ~5 years, never implemented or served it in the first place. The typical share icons now are FB, Instagram, and Twitter. Email is less common (although usually there's an email newsletter signup). For a while, there wouldn't be link to RSS on the page, but you could still find the .rss or .atom link in the HTML header. But a lot of times that's not there anymore either.

It makes me sad to have to settle for Liking a company's FB page, since it's up to FB whether or not I ever see it.
Move here. It's not that difficult if you want it, and have the skill needed to find someone to marry. The legal system here is (almost) still 'rule of law', and the constitutional court has a history of voiding the police state laws that crop up. Well, unless you are in Bavaria. I'd advise against setting foot on that state. The arrest laws there are about as bad as civil forfeiture, except that they can at worst lock up what you have on you, instead of being able to turn it into funds.
Also you, once you are a citizen, don't have to worry about your employer firing you or so, if you can sit that out in a frugal lifestyle.

Landlords here actually like non-agressive social-benefits tenants, as the rent get's wired directly by the state and the benefits won't pay for an apartment in an expensive area anyway, which, combined with the apparently rather liberal zoning, as far as high-rise buildings are concerned, makes the situation rather bearable.

Except taxes are almost explicitly not the free market. If hotels want to raise their prices they can, if not, then not.

Taxes are the definition of market distortion. It would be a crying shame if all the world's greatest sights were restricted to the rich due to government interference.

EDIT: It would also be a shame if all the world's greatest sights were destroyed by mass-tourism, so who knows? But pretending it's as simple as an Econ 101 problem would be naive.

> seatbelt laws

What are you saying here? You've lost me. Seatbelts are good and the laws we have in place are there to keep ignorance about them from spreading (ie. if you've never gotten in an accident, why would you wear a seatbelt?). So I definitely agree that we slipped on this slope for a good reason.
Ack. I just realized I replied to you when I meant to reply to the sibling post, not yours. I'm sorry for the confusion. That solution uses a resolution of dates. If that meets your use-case, sure; if you need finer, the IO (and cache) burden grows with that.

Which is the narrowest pipe depends on your plumbing. My application-facing databases have 10 gigabit NICs, and narrower to the storage; I'm absolutely not network-constrained. I also don't really consider the size or shape of the data returned to the application a cost in the same sense I do the disk; application queries routinely denormalize the data into a less compact form. They presumably need the data in that format for a reason (even if that's simply the engineer's cognitive bandwidth).

It's also not a thing I'm generally in control of, so other than offering guidance, there's not a lot I can do about it.
Agreed; it's impossible to self-host and is therefore a non-starter.

>Of the 15 most popular light aircraft models built in 2015, only one was introduced in the 1950s: the Cessna 172.

It's disingenuous to say that and not talk about numbers. There were over 44 thousand of them built, and they are literally the most produced aircraft ever. Cirrus is a blip on the radar compared to Cessna.

At 300 planes/year they will not catch up with Cessna in a century even if Cessna ceased to exist today!

In fact, the top six most produced civilian aircraft ever that are still in production are[1]:

Cessna 172 (1950's)

Piper PA-28 (1960's)

Cessna 182 (1950's)

Cessna 152 (1950's)

Antonov AN-2 (1950's)

Beechcraft Bonanza (1950's)

Do you have the statistics on the market share of the "slide-rule" planes today? Not as a percentage of planes being built or sold, but of the ones in service. I'd bet on them being the majority.

I love articles like these because every time I'm naïvely expecting to learn something new, but more often than not I'm left unsatisfied.

It's always the same pattern and it's like the programmer's version of the one weird trick. Show ten lines of (contrived) code and talk about its potential to be flawed, and then 'fix' it by explaining 50+ lines of code that has to be abbreviated or split into pieces to keep the article flowing. What quality actually means in this context is unclear, but it feels like tidying your bedroom as a child: hide the clutter in various places to give the appearance of cleanliness, while actually creating more of a mess for the next cleanup in the process.

And like many programming maxims, advising to abstract early is just as bad as advising to not abstract at all. Better abstraction will become more apparent as you see how your system fits together and how parts of it can be lifted up to a higher level, and this kind of intuition will only come with patience and experience.

The context of the entire thread is using money to "control" tourism which is already common. I have been to many places where tourists paid more or had a special tax. Or were required to have a local guide.

The UN charter is specifically about citizens not foreigners. Additionally they are talking about no militay checkpoints, preventing a marginalized ethnic group from traveling from point A to point B, etc. It isn't about not charging rich Americans a little bit more because they want to see New Zealand.
I did the same earlier this morning and I agree with this sentiment so far. I find it difficult to be mindless on the screens, and it makes me appreciate the colors of the offscreen world so much more.
The term "no-go zone" has many different meanings.

In the context of this thread, I bought it up because legostormtrooper described areas which are 'refused public utility service'. This is surely a very strong definition of no-go area.

I mentioned no-go area in the general context as used in my country - I am an American - to mean an area where the police, etc. will not go or where the police have "lost control" of an area and the national laws do not apply.

For example, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sharia-law-muslim-no-go-zo... .

It is absolutely true that "no-go area" is used more broadly than that, in general. For example, http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/16216099.Dog_fouli... is titled "Dog fouling making popular nature reserve 'no-go area'"

Going then to the interview, the union head clearly stated that they do enter these areas. This is not the same as a no-go zone where people are refused public utility service or where police and rescue people will not go.

Therefore, when you use it to demonstrate that "no-go areas" exist, you are using it in a different sense than the original context.

Since I gave references which described exactly what I meant by "no-go area", and you gave a reference to someone using a different definition, I can easily interpret it as you not caring to consider what I was writing, perhaps because you have an ax to grind, or that it is a deliberate attempt to confuse the issue and normalize the wider use of "no-go area".

But hey, I'm from the US, where we have many areas "where public services like police, fire brigade, ambulance, mail and delivery are hindered by threats of violence." As a kid, I remember stores of New York City where the locals called the fire department when there were problems because they were afraid of the cops. We had a standoff a couple of years ago where a self-styled militia had a standoff against the local authorities - and then won in court.

We've got many areas of the US which are effectively off-limits for blacks and other minorities.

If I'm going to accept your wider definition of "no-go area", then I want to see it really being used for something other than "places where we are worried about Muslim refugees and immigrants."

And that's why I keep referring to it as a xenophobic term.

Internet disrupted the newspaper industry. Decentralization of information happened with Internet and need for centralized information sources (newspapers, TV networks etc.) has lost it's value.

Secondly, newspapers didn't transform themselves (especially their biz models) for new medium. I work in monetization tools and trust me how frustrating it is to work with media companies (especially newspapers). They need strong CTOs/technical leaders to take right technical decisions and even if we suggest some right way of doing something technically we get ignored since they are all ignoring long terms gains for short term revenues. Invariably, they will sacrifice user experience for short term revenue.

I have sympathy for them and I genuinely believe we need strong journalism especially on local level where we need more accountability and oversight. However, I believe missed the boat on digital transformation and now PE/hedge funds are their to extract whatever they can get.
