> you cannot deny that the influence you have as a parent

for sure, I agree with you.

It seems to me that it is better to make conclusions looking at grown adults and families in total - like you did with your in-laws.

I just wanted to say there might be a tendency to look at screaming (or in this case, it would be anxious) kids and generalize and criticize their parents for bad parenting skills / inability to deal with kids / whatever; meanwhile, it's not their fault. Just good to remember that.

Even ignoring the legacy systems (Wordpress, Magento...), PHP has made massive improvements compared to other old languages like Python or Ruby. The language features, performance improvements, frameworks and libraries available today makes it 10 times better as a language than 10 years ago.

Thats the same way with architectural CAD design programs like AutoCAD

You can do things with the toolbars but every competent architect relies on CLI tools instead for common things like "move" , "scale", "copy", etc

I've never considered slack as a CLI tool for the masses this is a great analogy. I should do more research on existing slackbots

Ever wondered why Ubuntu doesn't really seem to be getting better, mostly just shifting technologies around?

Lack of either a near complete monopoly or a track record with dedicated, quality hardware. Throw in some questionable leadership decisions.

I don't think there's anything inherent to Linux that's unable to level up on the desktop, but the people best placed to shake things up are probably manufacturers who'd rather take a cut of a Windows license.

Windows has certainly been consistent in not offering an SSH client at all for a very long time.
I find it hard to take someone serious who goes by the moniker "Nutrition Diva".

She may be a world-renowned nutrition specialist, for all we know, but this doesn't just seem so self-help author style, it seems as if a "rock star"/"ninja" left the field of web frontend development for nutrition.
IKEA effect! An example of which is those prepared doughs where you have to add eggs... the egg could (and has been at some point) be included but marketing discovered that requiring the add-your-own-egg step made people love the end product more because they somehow made it themselves.

I wanted to mention the same thing, it is littered with ads. However I remember reading some gaming related magazine way back in the early 2000s and there were also many ads (and still are I guess), so it's not a BYTE specific thing, but print-media in general.

Swift: When Unused Code Is a Bug
It’s important to try many different approaches to difficult problems. Or, try different problems with new approaches - to learn about the approaches.
Arbitrary, when used in mathematics, also does not mean chosen randomly. It is used as a synonym for “any” or “every.” Furthermore, it doesn’t really make sense to speak of “choosing randomly” from a set without specifying a probability distribution. Often times it is implicit that someone is talking about a uniform distribution, but since the set of all Turin machines is infinite, it can’t have a uniform distribution.

And diluting the country in the EU is not incompatible with the French culture. The local food specialities or way of life is not really going to be affected by who administers the country. But French as a language, in the long term, has to die if the EU is meant to happen. You can’t run a country with 15 different languages. French will become another Patois!
Dying is not always a problem. In fact, lots of people consider it a solution.

The same can be said about taxes. They were the solution for problems like giving people access to education and healthcare.

To each their own. I switched from Mac to Linux last year and did some experimenting. Now I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 after committing time to both Fedora and Mint. I had good experiences with all of them but this latest Ubuntu with Gnome 3 has been great.

I’d also have a hard time going back to OSX now. At the same time, it’s not for everybody. This was something I wanted to do for me and I was determined to see it through. If somebody had pushed me into it I probably would have spent more time focusing on deficiencies.
Unless you know it would help you (as a manager), I would advise you let the programmer pick his own tools. You can still check with other programmers if his choices make sense, but be careful if acting on this information. Just make sure he uses some sort of CVS (Git is most common nowadays), other than that... any competent programmer should know about these things, and it is more likely that he finds out about them from their peers.
I disagree on several aspects.

I do agree that "most web apps are virtual paper forms with pre-filled menu options (...)", but that doesn't mean they don't need productivity improvement. First of all, many people use those "forms" for work, not just casual browsing. It's one thing when you're putting up some old book you found on eBay, it's another when you have to manage hundreds of such auctions each day. Suddenly, the difference between old and new web design trends is measured in 10x increase of time spent on task.

I know because I sometimes help my SO do her work tasks faster, and usually get 10x-100x speedup with clever application of web scraping, regular expressions and batch processing in command line.

Another thing - people don't "fill in forms" in isolation. Each webapp being a productivity-hostile silo causes pain whenever a task involves more than one of them. Often, users do in fact need "composability or grep-like text manipulation options", they just don't get them, so they suffer (or delegate to a friendly programmer, who can force a webpage to have some semblance of interoperability, whether its authors want it or not).

> So no - I do not think there's anything of value in the OP, except perhaps as another example of "Developers want to turn everything into a emacs and a build system, because that makes them happy, even though it's 100% inappropriate for non-developers."

It's not that - though I do believe that Emacs presents a much better UI paradigm than the one accepted in the mainstream (due to flexibility, interoperability and consistency). It's just that present day software - web apps in particular - are ridiculously hostile to productivity. The perfect solution is not doing everything from CLI, but it's also not shiny, animated web UIs exposing as little functionality as possible while still being able to sell the product.

Someone upthread mentioned the concept of threshold and ceiling. Emacs and CLI tools are high-threshold, high-ceiling. Webapps and mobile apps are low-threshold, low-ceiling. Perfection would be low-threshold, high-ceiling - that is, something accessible to beginners, but designed so that they can level up and become power users, if they need/want to.
You wouldn't do that in many parts of the world, though.
Sure. Personally I don't agree with attacking people, but I also don't agree with having to listen to them.
Is that relevant to my comment?
This is an old video [1], but it remains the clearest visual explanation of multiple dimensions that I've ever seen. I really can't recommend it highly enough. I think anyone trying to visualize a 4D object will get something out of watching it.

I played with the 4D toys app after it showed up on /r/math a while ago. I like it and I think it's useful. My only complaint would be that it's a little too open ended. While it's nice to provide a simulated tactile experience of four dimensions, I think the app should provide a bit more visual intuition. That's one of the things I like about this video.

Why We Need Monads
You only get real power out of your solar for a few hours a day, at best. This needs to be enough to supply power to your equipment during those hours while also (hopefully) giving your battery bank a full or near full charge.

Your panels will pretty-much work 24/7 though. I've gotten half an amp from the moon on my 2x 100w panels.

> Is the power rating of the panels a peak, before efficiency or lack-of-sun losses are taken into account?

Yeah. They can actually put out a tiny-bit more, but don't expect them to. Plan for them outputting peak 70% of what they are rated for, actually.
does that matter? surely that's just poor marketing on their part. knowing a free service also had a paid option wouldn't put me off. in fact, it would be more likely to encourage me to use it, because if they're making money from pro users then 1) they're more likely to still be in business in five years time and 2) they're less likely to resort to advertising or selling my data.
Often people are a little more careful reporting these kinds of outcomes, but it seems okay here.

Undergrad psychology programs tend to have more female than male students, so their first result may be related to the second.

> Composability within the conceptual framework of the terminal itself (e.g., using a pipe).

Personally, I think that operating systems (and browsers) failed in enforcing such a framework, or at least strongly suggesting it.

Compare with Emacs, which is a prime example of how interoperable software could be, if it adhered to a common paradigm more. There's a reason people run tasklists, e-mail, IRC, shell, time tracking, invoicing and others straight from it. It's not because they're crazy. It's because the overarching UX principles enable greater productivity and integration than it's possible elsewhere.
Something I haven't seen in any markdown editor so far (suggestions welcome) is extended table support.

Say I have a table with a 'name' and 'value' column and 100 entries. And I'd like names to be alphabetically sorted. So far so good.

But this table is too long and too small, so I want to have 4 columns and 50 rows, where the name/value continue in column 3, 4. Out of luck. This is unmanageable, as you have to shift many cells when adding a new entry.

A proposal for something like this: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1189

Also mentions multi-line cell contents, which are hard in regular markdown (require inline html)..
Agreed. That said the typical email UI could easily become an RSS reader.

- Sender = publisher / source
- Subject = title + author
- Body = body

The same can be said for SMS.

Shifting the email client to a one-stop comms dashboard would make a lot of sense (to me). Add in drag & drop to a TODO list(s) and I'm more effective and happier.

In a winner-takes-all, marketing>quality market of today's web? I'm inclined towards "not exist until it's at least somewhat good". The problem with Slack is that it sucked out air from everything else, and it became a de-facto standard for intra-company communications. It's hard for a better solution to take off, as it now has to fight uphill against a rich corporation and network effects.

> on macOS you can just use the 30+ years old Unix convention of Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E to get to the beginning and end of every line everywhere in the OS.

... which appears nowhere in the keyboard help or shortcuts. I actually used this in shells, from muscle memory, but never actually tried in editors or input fields.

> > "apt install"

> That is because no generic consumer in the world actually uses a text-based package manager.

I did mention the variety of GUIs; I like the CLI better, but I know people who prefer synaptic. Regardless of the interface, once you've decided to install a piece of software, Modern Linux does it much, much better than MacOS; It's possible that your use case requires packages unavailable in the repositories, in which case it doesn't matter - but the breadth of packages in debian/ubuntu/fedora repositories covers 99% of the users 99% of the time. No app store or repostiory on the mac does as well.

> Those three are pretty much all the same thing: preservation of state.

No, they aren't - two dots for two windows vs. one dot for one window is purely informative but hugely helpful. And while it might at some point converge to the "binary loaded or not doesn't matter", it's not there yet by a long short - and likely won't be for a decade.

The "quit vs. close" difference on OSX goes directly against the "preservation of state" concept you are promoting, in my opinion. In Ubuntu, whichever way I closed my Firefox (closing the window, shutting down the computer, upgrading the kernel, killall firefox, etc.) I get my state back. On the Mac, if I press the red button it doesn't, but if I choose "quit" on the menu it does ?!?

I mentioned them as things in which the MacOS fails compared to modern Linux, whereas somehow you took it as if the Mac does better.

Linux does preservation of directory view state as well. Except it is centralized and not all over the place. Windows does most of it in the registry (but put previews in the directory). These make much more sense -- and I think come because of Linux's Unix legacy of serving multiple users and having a lot of remote, read-only file systems often mounted. OSX is Unix, but is almost entirely single-user-at-a-time-and-they-own-everything-they-see from the day Apple adopted it.

Personally, I have configured my linux to automount every USB or network share read only unless I specify otherwise - I hate to accidentally modify files or directories, and many software allow themselves to drop swap/lock/backups even if you're in read only mode. MacOS is a huge offender from this perspective.
> The problem is that we don't actually see 3D, we basically see 2D twice.

Most of us do. But people who only have sight in one eye have no difficulty perceiving three dimensions. And some fairly large percentage of people with binocular vision are stereoblind, typically without even realizing it.

If anything, I'd say it's not that

> We're aided in converting our 2x 2D sight into 3D mental models through the use of color and parallax.

so much as that we're aided in converting our 2D sight into 3D mental models through the use of stuff like color and parallax through the use of stereopsis.

Most fantastic would of course be a general method so that given as inputs the transforms between problem types, and the known fixed parameter, and fixed parameter tractable algorithm, gives as output the new fixed parameter, and a new fixed parameter tractable algorithm for the new fixed parameter.

I assume we do not have such a general method, so similarily interesting would be data points for constructing such a method: examples of deducing the fixed parameter for a problem domain, given the fixed parameter (and tractable algorithm) from those of a different problem type.

With enough examples perhaps a general method can be guessed.
Same here, but it's nice not to feel obligated to stay, which i think is the difference.

Python tricks 101

Please give me some suggestions on things to add.
You can’t reconstruct a 3D scene from a 2D projection unless you take educated guesses.

E.g. When you look at a picture with something that looks like a chair, you assume that it’s indeed a chair, and then you can estimate its size/pose/etc. But there are infinitely many non-chair shapes that would produce the exact same projection. It’s just that you won’t encounter them in real life, except maybe in trickshots like this: https://youtu.be/SKpOKXAVjGo

It still amazes me the human waste of US prison sentences. Armed robbery in the UK for a 17 year old, from memory, is likely to attract significantly less than 10 years of actual time served.

Yet in the UK we are not overrun with armed robbers. I think the deterrent effect of a long sentence is rather lost on a 17 year-old who is already making bad life decisions.
I’ve been writing Go at work for about a year now. I have built a VoIP gateway, an HTTP API, an SRGS parser, and a modified beam search algorithm for a deep learning speech to text pipeline. I would say there are a few moments along the way where it started to click how awesome Go is (the only reason I chose it in the first place is because it was the only internal SDK I had access to).

1. The first time I had to design a concurrent module. Goroutines and channels are amazing. In most cases you still need to dress them up a bit, but the first class support makes it really easy to start simple and add as needed. In fact, as I type this I feel that that is a general theme of the language. It kind of urges you to start simple and iteratively improve things.

2. Cgo. Cgo has a lot of mixed opinions, but I am on a team with very few resources, so my output in terms of volumes of code is limited. I have been very thankful that I could both link in existing C dependencies into my project, and also build my project as a C library for other existing projects. This again, allowed me to start small, and slowly rewrite the important pieces in Go when it was worth it.

3. Pprof. That tool is amazing. There’s some really good YouTube demos of it so I won’t go into detail about it, but particularly for algorithms, this tool has helped me speed up certain parts of code by a few orders of magnitude, essentially making them practical for real world use.

4. The build system is fantastic and very fast (when compared to the aforementioned C / C++ projects)

There are definitely more reasons, but I love Go primarily because it feels like one of the most pragmatically thought out language that I’ve ever used. It has lots of tooling and features that make it fast to build working, robust, and fast software. It may lack some syntactic sugar and certain language features that allow you to make clean, gorgeous abstractions, but it’s a trade off that I care less and less about every day that I use Go.
I think it’s unfair to judge another parents ability to parent based on a single action. I agree with you there, every parent is different, just like their children.

I’d like to believe that more often than not a child is similar to the parent, If that’s nurture or nature, or culture I don’t know. Fun to wonder though.

How ridiculous. As someone with a disability and having spent much time around others with various physical disabilities, I would jolly well hope that the the problem's been solved in the SF future and we'd sure as hell be the first in line to get fixed if treatments were available.

Yes, most of us disabled are 100% "ableist" because having a disability is, unsurprisingly, rather difficult and unpleasant.
