They are by no means free from criticism for their wrongs, but to ignore what they have done correctly paints the world far too simply.
I think https://aaronparecki.com/oauth-2-simplified/ explains that the cryptographic signature approach (if that's what they mean by "client secret") was discarded because mobile apps and single-page Javascript apps can't maintain the confidentiality of a secret anyway.

So maybe OAuth 1.0 is only better for apps running on a server?
The fact that branching = copied directories is certainly wrong.
The strategy is/was to do both. We started getting our root into browsers immediately and we sought out a cross-sign to let us operate while the ~7-10 year root inclusion and propagation process happens.
>Why? I have a theory: you can’t maintain rigid schedules and habits if you have family too.

Haven't millions of people -- and lots of famous productive writers, and such, done exactly that?
Seems to me that "brutalism" is two separate things that don't necessarily need to be mixed together. There's brutalist design, which is about keeping the design as simple and straightforward as possible. Then there's brutalist coding philosophy, which is keeping the code as simple and straightforward as possible.
Someone with little to no income can still be very wealthy. You're also discouraging people from getting better paying jobs. You also gotta deal with properties deeded in trusts and stuff.
The author makes a lot of strong statements based on their opinions. I wrote a bit about their dynamic/weak typing gaffe in another top-level comment.

> lambda closure

Just FYI (not intended to be mean or anything), in formal PL theory this phrasing doesn't make sense. A closure is the pairing of an anonymous function (a "lambda") with an environment. Python's "lambda" is really just a lambda --- it is not a closure. This is revealed in the common pitfall where you try to create a list comprehension using a lambda to generate interior values.
GitChapter fixes this problem. Disclaimer: I wrote it.
>in fact there is no such thing as "saving" a life, only extending one.

Most of the objection to euthanasia is focused on the case where you are administering deadly medications to a person that can survive on their own. Ending life support is another debate, although one that shares many properties and players with euthanasia.
While CVS may have originated with Grune, I think the CVS everybody is actually familiar with is the version Brian Berliner wrote and maintained for years.
At least git stores its local copy of the repository compressed -- svn keeps a second uncompressed copy of the current revision, to be able to run a diff. So neither are great for large binaries, although at least subversion will only grab the latest.

But use of compression and binary deltas does mean that (for regular text-based code) a git checkout including all history can be smaller than a subversion checkout with just the latest version.
There's been some progress eg:

In simulations " But a new artificial intelligence system, ALPHA, has been besting expert pilots in combat simulations, even when the A.I. is given a handicap." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36650848

And with a pilotless F16 "During the exercises, the F-16 planned and executed an air strike according to "mission priorities and available assets." The F-16 also managed "dynamically react to a changing threat environment" while managing "capability failures, route deviations, and loss of communication" https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a26028/f-...
Article should be titled “how to use a preexisiting CLI”. I’ve been way (WAY) in the weeds with BLE over GATT and it’s limitations. Using a CLI they give you isn’t really even close to the same thing - works great until it doesn’t.

Starting the project right now, I would consider Thread to just use data over IP but for a single device and a phone interface there just doesn’t seem to be a ease of use like traditional connect-and-go.

For example, waiting “about a minute” for the device to show up with an IPv6 address - fine if it’s a lightbulb, deal breaker if it’s a user device they just turned on and want to access.
And if people were paid relative to the difficulty of their job no one would have an incentive to make things simple or easy.
Where? In CA a cyclist has as much right to the road as a car. A mistake I often see cyclists make is to allow themselves to be stuck in a very narrow space between the center of the lane and the edge of the road/curb/parked cars.

When the road is too narrow, and there isn’t a safe place for a car to pass you, it’s important to consume the space in a way that makes it obvious to cars that they should not attempt to pass you.

Yes, there are some a-holes this pisses off because they had to slow down and lose 30 seconds of their day, but it’s far safer, and worth being honked at.
6901 is very similiar to XML XPath*, https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-31/.

JSON Patch can be MVCC ops to apply to an object, where as a JSON Merge Patch is overrides?

" There are a few things to note about the function. If the patch is
anything other than an object, the result will always be to replace
the entire target with the entire patch. Also, it is not possible to
patch part of a target that is not an object, such as to replace just
some of the values in an array."

I don't see how that's better. I'm legitimately asking as I've implemented JSON Patch support in API gateways due to the "over-engineered" & useful applications in real life.
Yes. It’s a private decision that the family makes when the mom has to return to work 2 weeks after giving birth (oh hello unpaid vacation). Fuck this. You, as the government, need to help the people and need to ensure that where matters are clear cut (like breastfeeding) you make it stupid easy for people to be informed and to follow the right path.

Ultimately it should be your choice, but you should not struggle to make the choice.
Too bad there isn't money to be made "disrupting" poverty.
Nothing strange about it. Most legal systems attach far greater value to a human life than that of a dog, so the checks and balances around taking such a life are commensurably greater.

And "workaround" seems a strangely lightweight term to use in this context. It's not an engineering problem you're faced with here. It's an ethical issue.
Finding your passion is a bit of a trap; this article explains some reasons why:

https://mashable.com/2017/03/22/7-habits-you-need-instead-of...

Some of the history of “passion primacy” is based on the Hedgehog Concept of Jim Collins in his book Good to Great:

https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/the-hedgehog-concept.htm...

Mr. Collins was talking about great companies, however. But his three criteria are instructive.

Put another way: passion finds you. And it probably won’t if you’re thinking too much about it.
I run airsonos on a local server, which exposes all my Sonos speakers over Airplay individually.
It's impactful enough to be brought up because it's far more important to develop healthy eating habits than it is to lose weight in the long run. If you asked me whether it's more unhealthy to be obese than to be normal weight but eating food with no nutrients, that is something I cannot answer with evidence, but I'm inclined to say eating 5 chocolate bars a day will kill you faster.
> Did you miss the part of my comment where I said I gave up Java and C++ for reasons of code quality?

No, but the bulk of your comment sounded pretty defeatist to me:

"These choices are rarely made by developers"

"No one ever got fired for using Java"

"Where is the opportunity for us to make different choices?"

"It does seem like my own personal choice to give up on Java has had zero effect on its popularity."

It's true: a single person's decision to stand up against the system is unlikely to have an effect. But if everyone makes that choice, it will have an effect. And that is more likely to happen if more people stand up and say that you should make that choice rather than whine about they tried and failed.
I think linking it to wanting can be problematic when people are trying to start. I get up every single day at 6am and go straight to the gym. To say I want to do this makes it sound like I have some insight, I'm crazy or I'm a 'morning' person. None of those are true. The alarm goes off, and I get up. There is no want or motivation in that moment, it is only discipline.

I do it because working out every day improves my physical and mental health. My cognition is better. Starting each day off doing something I don't really want to do (getting up early), sets the tone of the day to one of getting the things done that need to get done.

> You have to learn how to connect the desire for some end state (getting the project completed, getting a faster mile time, etc) with the present.

IME, this is useful when deciding you want to make a change, but not something that is front and center when the alarm goes off early in the morning ;)
"Obligatory: SlimMP3/Logitech's Squeezebox[0] was the best."

It has been a while since I thought about this but I think the primary reason that I opted for a Sonos system (in 2006) vs. the squeezebox system was that the squeezebox required server-side software to function ... whereas the Sonos could connect to any old SMB share you pointed it to.

So in my case, my FreeBSD fileserver could (and still does) feed my Sonos system - with no software to be installed anywhere.
The idea is to create a lambda that's sole purpose is to act as a closure for member access restriction. I'm not sure how that could be misinterpreted, but here's your prize.
This conversation is about the design of websites, which are pieces of marketing you only receive if you request one.

It's like that in the US. My spouse got all sorts of pressure to breast feed. However she was not producing enough milk and we ended up supplementing so our children can get enough nutrients. The amount of bullying in this area is approaching ridiculous levels.

While true that there is no single official definition, it does not give the author license to portray the community in such a negative light.

As an aside, I work in PL research (as an assistant) and have never talked to a researcher who disagreed with the assessment I gave above. I'm not saying you're wrong (because you aren't), but rather that there is at least enough of a distinction that the author shouldn't have conflated them to the extent that they did.
no i've been following this design style for about 6 months now, and its not something to be boiled down to that manifesto from yesterday. Its actually been a style for a while as seen in the intro for A Clockwork Orange ( https://vimeo.com/49553745 )

Its not a joke either. there are some big companies in that list I shared like Nike, Snapchat, Gucci, etc.
Yea, I clicked the link, preparing to equip my Leather Armor of Technical Outrage, and after reading the details, this is about as mundane as it gets. Apple doesn't let you release apps that call private APIs. It's been this way since the App Store existed. MoltenVK allegedly calls one of these. The rational next step would be that the game studio or Apple would identify the API in question to the MoltenVK team so they could fix it.
#1 - Well my first thought when reading this is you sound pompous, full of yourself, and hard to work with. This is a quick read but are you sure the problem is not you?

I ask that seriously and say it harshly to get your attention, have you taken a hard look at your vibe and yourself?

#2 - What skills are you specifically missing to build a product? Design? People? Customer development? If you could build the perfect co-founder what do they look like?
If you constraint motivation to mean "absolutely anything that makes you do something" then yes, it doesn't make sense. You still need to convince yourself to send a signal from your brain to do something, and one can say that that requires "motivation" too.

But that's not how most people use the term motivation, or whine about "not having motivation" mean.

The whole point of the distinction in the post is between waiting to feel motivated (as in "to positively look forward/like/inspired to do the thing") vs just doing it, not giving a shit for how you feel.

As a crude example: a writer could wait until they feel "motivated" to sit down and write. Another could just set a schedule that has him sitting down every weekday 9-5, and writing something, anything, whether they feel motivated or not.

The second we usually don't call "motivation", just discipline.

Just to note: this resolution does not appear to include any government organization mandates. Its affect is much more indirect than that. If it said "all member nations shall criminalize the use of formula", it would definitely be a good idea to swat it down. But the reasoning behind swatting down "breastfeeding is a good idea" requires a bit more explanation.
You don't find/choose your passions. Your passions choose you. As early as 6 and as late as 13 - as far as I know. If you ask such a question, you don't have any passion in particular and my suggestion is "you might want to keep going the career/job route". A passion is a calling, you don't "find" callings.

For the NY Times, this is rather lazy reporting.

The quote by the HHS doesn't go into the details of what they see are unnecessary hurdles for women. Did the reporter not try to dive in more?

> A 2016 Lancet study found that universal breast-feeding would prevent 800,000 child deaths a year across the globe and yield $300 billion in savings from reduced health care costs and improved economic outcomes for those reared on breast milk.

Well, yes, this is true, but context here would help. This isn't due to formula substitutes (i.e. Abbott laboratories isn't going around killing kids to make money), this is due to improper substitutions (e.g. giving children actual mashed food). See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5866289/

> Scientists are loath to carry out double-blind studies that would provide one group with breast milk and another with breast milk substitutes. “This kind of ‘evidence-based’ research would be ethically and morally unacceptable,” Ms. Sterken said.

There absolutely is controlled research out there on the effects of breastfeeding. Here's some:

Actually that happens often enough that it has a name: convenience euthanasia. I believe most vets will try to find alternatives before they go through with it, but some physically healthy animals are definitely put down due to behavioral issues.
You're correct but this barely changes the authors points:

"It’s virtually impossible to statically analyze"

and

"In Python a good amount of errors are discovered at runtime"
Unfortunately, there's no information there about which private API use needs to be removed.
A few years ago my 90 year old grandma had a stroke in her sleep and the doctors told us she'd never really have any more quality of life and what's usually done is just pull out the sugar drip and basically wait for her to (for lack of better word) starve to death.

After a day or two with no food or water she'd drift in and out of consciousness. It was amazing how she would even refuse my offer of wetting her lips with a sponge.

During a time I was alone with her, her breathing became so heavy, this rattling sound. I asked a nurse "can't you give her something" and he gave her a shot of morphine and a few min later the breathing stopped and that was that. It was quite a humbling experience.

Another thing that comes to mind is the "Brompton cocktail", a mix of morphine/heroin, cocaine, alcohol and thorazine against the nausea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brompton_cocktail
What if you drank neither, though? There's a lot of talk in the past 10 or so years about how you're not really benefiting from vitamins either because you get enough vitamins in your diet.
Again this ideological nonsense.

This app used MoltenVK which used private APIs so Apple banned it, like all other applications that do so. Case closed.
You’re so worried about making the wrong choice, yet you advocate for a situation where the law makes a blanket one-size-fits-all choice that’s inevitably going to be the wrong one sometimes.

You (rightly) worry about a situation where someone is pressured into dying, or chooses to die because their brain is broken. But what about situations where someone is suffering horribly with no relief to come, and they want to end it, and their family agrees, and their doctors, but everyone is prevented from carrying out their wishes because of a blanket ban?
The transformation of the software profession into law is progressing. As we engineer most moderate-difficulty tasks away, what remains is the trivial or the challenging, and these two classes of task correspond to the peaks of the new bimodal salary distribution. We have a glut of people in the field capable only of the former class of task, so that peak is going to rather low.

This dynamic isn't speculative. It's _exactly_ what happened to law. It's what happens to any field that goes through a boom and attracts a certain kind of person who's more motivated by immediate financial reward than talent or passion.
You train your family, like you train your dog.

If you are working on a hard problem and you dog comes with the leash on her mouth, you can do what the dog wants or do what you need to do. Your dog will have to wait. Non negotiable. if you negotiate and are not consistent, you are in trouble.

Your dog needs to know that she is going to go outside, but when you say so. Dogs understand it very well. If it is a rigid schedule it works much better, it is not arbitrary.

If you are working on a hard problem and your son or daughter interrupts you, it is your job to make it clear to them that they can't interrupt you unless it is important.

They need to know you will spend time with them, on a consistent basis.

People understand it very well if you are an adult capable of saying "no". Rigid schedules work much better.

I believe you are confused. You can be disciplined and love your family. Sick child? Not the end of the world, it looks like it for first time parents. Homework assistance? You are not loving your children if you do their homework for them.

Yeah. Right!

Fuck all these “scientists” and “doctors”. And let’s also forget millions of years of evolution and the refining of breast milk, through natural selection to be just what a baby needs. That’s fake news.
Everyone's body reacts a bit differently to different substances, legislation should seek to inform people of the possible downsides rather than banning it completely because some people react poorly. This is well understood with other psychological pharmaceuticals, but with recreational drugs it is frequently overlooked.

I've been trying to receive "euthanasia" for myself. I suffer gender dysphoria. I think it's a shame how society can discriminate a person with an illness compared to another group with a different illness; when it comes to receiving what is considered a medical treatment for ending pain. The terminology for who qualifies & receives euthanasia is flexible in the jurisdictions that offer it by terminology but people will warp their own perception around who they view should have a right to qualify to die by personal opinions without understanding the pain of another. Society doesn't help some people and euthanasia can be a real solution for the current system until real help evolves; where euthanasia can be less thought about.
Does anyone know why dads riding these are called "soft"? I've never ridden a cargo bike, but it takes strong legs & constitution to regularly tow a kid or utility trailer more than a few miles.

But this goes both ways. I've seen developers complain about the W3C accessibility standards on contrast because it looks too severe on their retina display full-brightness Macbook.

But the relative cost of having too much contrast (it's uncomfortable to read, but still perfectly legible) and the relative ease of fixing it (turn down your laptop brightness) is very minor when compared against the many people with crappy, low-light displays that can't adjust their brightness or fix the problem of low contrast text.

Often what people mean when they say to optimize for what people have is that they'd prefer to optimize for the highest quality devices first. But for a nontrivial number of websites and demographics, those devices are the minority, and in those situations high-contrast black-on-white text will look better on a wider variety of the devices that ordinary people are using.
