NUC is all I want out of Apple, and I would definitely (eventually) buy a Pro Mini. I take my "laptop" to work and home every day, but I plug into bigger monitor and better keyboard. However, because the latest gen laptop keyboards are so terrible, even when I want portability I use my older gen and smaller size MacBook Pro. This has led me to realize that my needs for a portable home<->work machine differ from my needs of programming anywhere. I want two machines, and I don't want the other machine to even have a screen.

I'm excited for the potential here.

I've been working remotely for four and a half years and not once have we used video conferencing. Voice and chat sure, but video is useless, doesn't add anything, and makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I personally despise it. It's clearly unnecessary as we have been doing quite well without it for a long time.
A few years ago we did SodaStream alot, and our latest fridge even has a SodaStream dispenser built in. However in recent years the variety, and quality, of syrups went downhill as I believe they were focusing more on flavored sparkling rather than mainstream soda. Hope this changes that.
React is not a complete solution? What are you referring to? It’s a complete solution for describing what you want on the screen and not worrying about how that happens. It comes with build tools. What else do you want?
Or even both because Eslint has a Typescript parser too now.

Most people I know who publish in NIPS/ICLR train their models using between 1-4 GPUs under their desk or 8 GPUs in a server. I would argue that these folks make competitive models and "are successful in their business" with only 1-8 GPUs. While having access to hundreds of GPUs helps you explore model space more quickly, it's not a hard pre-requisite to success in Deep Learning.

The "whatever reason" is that the level of long-term side effects that can be tolerated depends on the disease being cured. A drug that cures a previously fatal cancer should be approved, even if there are some long-term side-effects, because it's better than death. A drug that treats hair loss or heartburn needs studies to make sure that serious long-term side effects are extremely rare.

Testing for rare long-term effects requires a huge sample size, and billion dollar clinical trial budgets.

Teams do decide, early on, to try to discover drugs for serious diseases or common diseases, depending on how much money they think they can raise. Usually only proven teams can raise the huge amounts, so most pharma startups target serious niche diseases hoping for approval under the orphan drug program.

Regarding your first point, in side projects, I've started doing things like this:

for c in customers:
return c.first_name + c.last_name

or:

customers.map(c => c.first_name + c.last_name)

I've started doing this because I didn't like having "customers" and "customer", I found this very un-readable. It also makes it simpler to follow what's going on since I have less code to parse.

And because I never use 1-lettered variable names (unless it's a counter like i, j, k), I find it very easy to read when this convention occurs in my code.
I think if the options are a Macbook running ARM or an iPad being used like a Mac, I'd prefer the iPad used as a Mac. If we had mouse support and a way to set up a new sandbox to run arbitrary code temporarily (but still securely) like spinning up a Docker instance, we'd be there already. Meanwhile a Macbook running on ARM needs all new software and will necessarily have things it can't run, with the extra negative of not having 10 years of apps built specifically for the platform.

Basically, use the platform they already have to its full potential, rather than creating a new platform in a slowing niche.
Some might think this is all gossip, but I think it could all be very relevant:

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/elon-musk-grimes-unfollow... - Why?

As ridiculous as it all might sound to non-social networking people, taken together it all starts to look messier and messier. It's beyond celebrity gossip now. I can't see how any of this is good for business.
Oh, I almost expect Apple to make it too thin to be useful. But I've seen people actively hope for a smaller Mini on Twitter before, and I don't understand that sentiment. What's the market for a tiny $1000 desktop Mac?

> If it was a “consumer” Mac Mini, you’d complain “Apple has given up on Pro users”

I agree that in the current context, this is true. But this is primarily because the Mac Pro hasn’t been updated in eons and the current MBPs are so controversial that many pro users are sticking with 5-8 year old MBPs instead of “upgrading”.

If there were current Mac Pros and MBPs that see unequivocally better than older models, people would not jump to this complaint

I'll take another stab at explaining this to you but I'm worried you might just be trolling.

The phrase "A Modest Proposal" is generally associated with the essay's author, Jonathan Swift. By combining that phrase in a literal sense ("I'm suggesting something new about how to handle option methods") with the name of a programming language which coincidentally is the surname of the author, it leads to a clever connection.

It would be like an article called, "Do not cast your Perls before swine" about dynamic casting which also is a play on the common phrase, "Do not cast your pearls before swine." [Yeah, that example kind of sucks but it was the first thing that popped into my head.]

Refined oils have nothing to do with being rancid it’s an extraction technique that uses heat instead of pressing.

Refined oil will go rancid in the kitchen just as easily as cold pressed and you will noticed since it will smell sweet and then putrid.

Common cooking oils including canola do not oxidize well nor do they dry well which is why you would not use them on say wood because they will not dry and will just go rancid.
Small sample size, but in Austin I've seen 5k-10k.
.NET Framework was first, the major install on Windows only. Mono came after, to try and replicate .NET on non-Windows and with an open-source approach. Eventually .NET Framework code was open-sourced (at least read only in the beginning), which also helped Mono get better.

.NET Core was created to take the aging .NET Framework and rebuild for a faster, easier deployment, quick release cycle, and cross-platform on Linux and Mac OS; without hurting the decades of backwards compatibility.

Mono meanwhile became the base for Xamarin for mobile apps and Unity as a gaming engine. Even though Microsoft acquired Xamarin, Mono already had much uptake in both of these scenarios that it didn't make sense to attempt replacing it, so now we have Mono for mobile+games and .NET Core for the rest.

.NET Framework will still be around for a decade but is effectively retired and .NET Core 3.0 will fill in any remaining gaps for Windows apps that still need the full framework today.

Most so-called "vegetable oils" were traditionally used as drying oils. This was before the paint industry figured out how to use petroleum distillates in their products in the mid-20th century.

Linseed oil was renamed "flaxseed oil" when the market for stain made with linseed oil dried up.

Containers of vegetable oils typically develop a sticky film on them, due to the drying oil effect.
Bidding for Builds
You eventually learn how to control and mold your high, how to be productive and creative on it, and live a normal life. You need to experiment with what your dose should be and how it effects you, and then you have a baseline. If you're forgetting how to chew and 'breaking your reality', you're getting way too high. I always recommend beginners start with a cannabis vaporizer and stay under 370F/188C.

It's not for everyone though, and that's perfectly fine.
Well, I suppose they are since you just hand-waved over them. I could hand-wave over any number of quantifiable, internal American social/geo-political issues also. Gun laws (Aurora, Sandy-hook, San Bernardino, Orlando, Mandalay Bay, Stoneman Douglas), mass for-profit incarceration of blacks/latinos for non-violent offences, forced births and closing of abortion clinics, Flint Michigan, response (or lack thereof) to hurricanes Katrina, Irma, Maria, just to name a few.

While we're at it, let me go ahead and hand-wave over the multitude of overseas abuses in a similar fashion. Lebanon, Cuba, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Argentina, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, Iran, Libya, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria.

Now tell me, which of these points to any form of 'agonising' about human rights?

> Actually I do recall watching that one guy wave his hands a bit as he was run over by a tank in Tianemenn... or maybe it was twitching... can't recall.

Not to worry, it is a well known stereotype that Americans have very long memories of atrocities carried out by countries other than their own.
I never claimed they were. They are quite ubiquitous in America, however.
Based on what? Just grabbing the numbers for one institution I happen to be familiar with, the St. Louis Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District:

> During its history, the zoo-museum district - officially known as the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District - has raised about $1.3 billion, stabilized five once-struggling institutions and helped some of them develop international reputations.

Source: https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/zoo-museum-tax-dis...

So that's $1.3. billion in tax dollars raised specifically to fund the museums and zoo in the largest park of one mid-sized U.S. city.

That tax raises 35 times the $5 million per year the city pays on the bond for the old Rams stadium, which generates a lot of articles like this one:

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rams-los-angeles-st-lou...

Of course, HuffPo doesn't write any articles about the zoo tax, because literal rams in cages is a more noble use of money than figurative Rams throwing a football, one presumes.

The number here also dwarfs the direct public subsidy for Busch Stadium, also in St. Louis, which also got a ton of ink and public scrutiny.

More info on that subsidy here:

But also fewer contributions, I reckon. If someone wants to contribute something big, they'll jump through all the hoops. But if all one wants is to contribute another example to a man page, I'd wager they're more easily discouraged by an arcane setup process. GitHub solves a lot of this friction by having:

1. One account for manifesting your chosen identity, which you likely already have.
2. One common way of getting the source code and sending diffs/patches (read: PRs).

The workflow is quite similar, in the abstract. But GitHub and friends solve important pain points.
You bring up a good point. I do think interviewing for developers is not a field that has been studied using the scientific method, which is why we seem to have so many rules of thumbs, cargo cult traditions etc. rather than experiment-backed results. I think a few companies do study this as a science (e.g. Google) but most others are either unwilling or don't have enough resources (or some mix of the 2) to do the same.

> Interestingly the top companies seem to be focusing a lot less on experience and a lot more on problem solving/system design/etc.

As long as we're making conjectures: this is likely because a lot of them have tools and processes that are very different from what you see "in the wild". e.g. working at Google means you can leverage all their deployment infrastructure, something you likely didn't have access to outside (this is somewhat changing with k8s and cloud services).

Putting aside the fact that the claim made about rancid oil is pure fiction, the answer to your question is no. A cast iron pan is seasoned by carbonizing and polymerizing the oil under high heat, and what’s left can’t go rancid and isn’t really oil anymore.

React is frequently mentioned in the same breath as Angular/Vue/etc. Angular, for example, has most of what you'd want to build a complex web app built. Compared to that, React is not "complete" because if you wanted to build a complex web app you'd need to start using outside libraries or writing a great deal of code yourself.

I agree this does not mean React is "incomplete." It does what it sets out to do very well. But the discussion is often framed as React vs Vue vs Angular, fair or not.

Some of the reasons you listed occurred after the recent sanctions. You listed dysfunction twice and I don't know what "(a lot of government debt is held by members of government!)" means or implies.

Intervention in the economy was also a move employed by Chavez - who was, and still is, well loved by the country.
Price control was implement so that the poor would not starve - maybe this was a good idea poorly implemented. Fast forward several years and with foreign goods becoming cheaper than what they could make in their own country = devalued Bolivar + more inflation.

Anyways, the point I was making was that it was already set in motion that their economy would crash before Maduro took power. Hence, my statement "How did Maduro's govt mess up their economy?"
> Apple does have one fairly unusual pro-level use case, which is that you need to have a macOS machine if you want to develop iOS applications.

Which is a completely artificial requirement and it's a shame people are forced to patch VMvare just to run macOS, sometimes just for the final stages before uploading the app to the App Store.
This is easy to test.

You will find images are NOT retrieved by Google's proxy before or after opening the email when you have external images turned off in Gmail.

1) Ensure Gmail is set to "Ask before displaying external images".

2) Send yourself an HTML email with an img tag pointing to a site you control (doesn't even need to be a real image).

3) Check your server log to see if the img url was retrieved.

4) Open the email in Gmail, but don't click "Display images".

5) Check your server log again.

6) In Gmail click "Display images" and check the server log again.

Only when explicitly clicking "Display images" does GoogleImageProxy fetch the image.

Conclusion - don't install an extension that can spy on everything you do. Just ensure external images are not displayed by default.

I don't really agree. Sure, many projects fail for reasons other than developer experience but in many years of many more projects, developer skill was the most frequent reason.

Of course, that's probably more true of my environment (third world country, enterprise software) than others.

Errrrr, at best a dedicated amateur.

I'm just 3.5k (I think that's 70th percentile), but I know lots of 4.5k players. To describe the average 4.5k player: Probably has regular groups of people they play with at different skill levels (anywhere from 2.5-5k+), regularly plays battle-cup on Saturdays, maybe played amateur JoinDota league, maybe had a laugh and played open qualifiers only to lose in the first couple rounds, and probably log between between 10-20 hours per week into the game.

4.5k players know how to play to a very good standard and beat the vast majority of other players, but are miles away from the weakest of the professional scene. 4.5k doesn't even appear on the leader boards.

For those who drive, certainly. Road tolls in my experience have been either a flat fee (e.g., the ones around Chicago, IL) or by distance traveled (e.g., the Ohio Turnpike). This is effectively a flat tax rate, not a progressive rate. Thus it will have a greater financial impact on someone with a low paying job who drives.
I think it's a mistake to legalize cannabis and continue to treat it like any other consumer product, opening the floodgates to gratuitous advertisements and dubious health claims. Instead, the sale of cannabis (and perhaps other drugs) should be treated as a public health issue, where the sale is permitted as long as it isn't advertised and proper information is given about the product.

The Netherlands partly has this system, where cannabis sale is 'tolerated' for shops with permits, and where advertisements are forbidden. The system is far from ideal, but I think better than complete (de)criminalization. Additionally, the discussion about drugs is very open thanks to a number of publicly funded organizations. They do not hesitate to also note the positive sides of certain drugs, which all the more encourages a conversation about the responsible use of drugs.

Portugal has gone even further in decriminalizing other (more addictive) substances [1] with fairly good results.

I've recently started taking 50 or 100mg CBD capsules. They're made from hemp so their THC content is vanishingly low (but still there, beware those who must take drug tests)

So far it seems to be working well for me in that it suppresses/blocks or otherwise mitigates the nerve pain associated with sciatic nerve damage.

Larger doses do send me to sleep, which for me is very strange because most pain relief medication prevents me from sleeping (as a side effect, it is very, very annoying)

I've only ever had a very hard time with THC, smoked or digested. Smoked and spent the weekend with a migraine. Ate and slept for about 2 days. Ate a different thing and freaked out for about a day. I really don't know what it is that makes my reaction to pot so negative; makes me wish we could pinpoint just which protein or receptor or whatever I have that's broken or overactive.

I haven't experienced any productivity beyond that which accompanies a lower pain level. Although I do very much recommend people with pain trying CBD capsules or oil. I've bought from Lazarus Naturals (I have no other relationship with them) and can recommend them as a vendor.
