If you like this then I can recommend "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: Churchill's Mavericks" by Giles Milton - it starts with British inventors creating an important new weapon (the limpet mine) from sweets, condoms and bowls from Woolworths in a shed (of course)...

The boffin/craftsman side of things seemed particularly important to the UK effort in WW2.

When I meant customization, I didn't mean the availability of plugins. I meant the ability to change everything, and do it myself simply and quickly if needed, from within the editor itself.

There's only two editors I know that give you that, Emacs and Atom.

That said, I didn't try neovim, but it just seems like Vim with Lua plugins. Kinda similar to how Sublime Text can have Python plugins.

The American system is to have no overarching system. Our empire is too large - we have to accept people from numerous systems and varying levels of ability. Alaskans and Alabamans have to work alongside Germans and (both kinds of) Georgians. So the company trains you to do what they need.
I do not believe our lives and systems are significantly more complex than than of our great-grandparents. Instead I believe we are under an illusion.

The world has always been a complex place, but we manage that by many layers of abstraction, mostly innate but also by social organization.

The failures of social organization and complex coordination are genuine, but they're not occurring because our world is much more complex. I have a speculation on the cause which can be convincingly demonstrated but it's the species of topic where HN is liable to change the colour of your text in its lalalalalalala-itsnothappening-mode.

Under most lights our world is more simple than it used to be. You didn't have to fetch a pail of water from the well this morning. Your clothes: washed, possibly dried by machines in a process that used to take a day out of every week. Your food... you see the picture. Getting blitzed by streams of information on the internet isn't the same thing as the world becoming more complex, that's partly a choice and something people used to do with a library card - besides most of the web is not especially information dense and that's another illusion. When we do a lot of the human version of context switching it doesn't take much to overwhelm our sense of proportion.

Unless they have DMA themselves, alongside their own order/execution platform, I would suspect that a broker still exists who may well be in a wall street office? And god damn if you think 1% is "cheap" for this (not-very) smart beta strategy you need your head examined

Please don't stock pick based on what some app tells you some other people in finance have probably stock picked.

If you believe in active management. Pay an active manager. If you believe in passive investing, buy an index. If you believe in smart beta, pay a little bit more for a properly defined strategy which fits your world view. This is none of those things.

Almost all proprietary Linux binaries I've seen shipped in the wild link to shared system libraries -- and tend to fall apart when the system libraries are a different version than expected. If you're shipping Linux binaries, you really should be linking statically! Any shared libraries you need, like OpenGL, you should load manually with dlsym.

A windows binary targeting Wine will not stop working just because some shared system library has been updated.

I think we're merely highlighting the distinction between what level of responsivity a job actually requires. Those who deal with things that require near-immediate attention (janitors, sys admins, doctors) would stop the world. Everyone else the world can (by definition of responsibility) continue without any issue for awhile, and maybe at worst stagnate.

I think this might be a completely orthogonal concept to measuring how "bull shit" a job is, despite how often it gets brought up in this context.

Interestingly enough if you look at the modern UK car industry, there are two kinds of success: large factories with overseas management, and small boutique high-tech companies with local management doing similar things to the Rolls-Royce described here: supercars, F1 etc. All small hand-finished production runs.

My hypothesis is that something about the class system causes management-worker relations to break down at scale. Perhaps this can be avoided by having a business small enough for the boss to be regularly seen on the shop floor, and professional enough that the input of individual skilled workers is valued.

The last "British" large-run carmaker, MG Rover, collapsed in ignominy and the directors narrowly escaped prosecution for defrauding the investors in the previous round of rescue.

In my opinion, don't write your own renderer unless you can really invest a lot of time into it. There are countless "spheres in a Cornell box" path tracers out there, you'll not excite anyone with the basics. Contribute to existing software like Blender or Appleseed instead, that will give you a lot more visibility and demonstrate that you can write robust code.

I suspect the answers would be: use non-arrow keybindings for browsers (e.g. vim-like plug-ins, or alternative keyboard shortcuts), remap your terminals keys (maybe, use a different terminal entirely?), use insert mode for only inserting text.

An alternative to this is to use a Form. You can have a model that produces the form configuration (relations for each field in the form for example) and produce this Form on request.

Then, when the form is saved, take the resulting dictionary and save it to a JSONField in a 'result' model. If you want to re-display the form with the results, just create the form from the configuration model and add the data from the result model.

I've had great results with this technique, and you can model any field except a foreign key. Django forms provides the validation, and the backing storage is dynamic so you can change fields easily. It seems less fragile than creating models like this article proposes.

In my opinion, the best setup would be an ortholinear keyboard with not many keys and multiple layers (let's say something like a Planck), but instead of using key combinations to change layers, use pedals.

The BBC regularly repeats old episodes of Top of the Pops, a music chart programme that was broadcast between 1964 and 2006. It's quite close to a random sample of weekly Top 40 listings - about half the episodes in the archive are unsuitable for repeat broadcast, because they were presented by notorious sex offenders.

There was a lot of crap in the charts, but I think the overall level of quality was higher. I think the reason for that higher quality was essentially negative - the routes to an audience were much narrower, so artists were practically required to get into the charts to sustain a professional career. A far broader range of artists were playing the major label game, because they didn't have many alternatives.

"Pop" is a much narrower term in 2018 than it was in 1978, because musicians don't need chart hits or radio airplay. Digital recording and distribution have created a much more fragmented music market, because artists can connect directly with audiences rather than relying on a very narrow funnel of publicity and distribution. Good music is somewhat more difficult to find today, but I think there's more of it and more definitions of "good".

People have been attempting this for a long time with only moderate success. It's where object orientation came from: objects were supposed to be reusable. Similarly with UNIX pipelines.

Also, I'm pretty sure that COLORREF is xBGR format because colour data in memory is RGBx format and when you read it DWORD at a time on a little-endian machine, you end up with xBGR in registers. So an array of COLORREFs in memory is RGBx format...

On the other hand, BMP is BGR format on disk and in memory[1] when using 24-bit colour. I think "opencv used BGR because BGR was the format of the default image file type on the first platform it was written for" might explain it better. Camera makers probably did the same thing - output BMPs before JPEG was developed.

[1] Yes, technically BMP also has bitmasks that let you store the colour channels in any order with any precision, but almost all BMPs I've come across just use the default BGR format.

That's about what the author says right at the top of the article.

However, this is only more flexible in the front end. If you want to do anything with your data in the back end, a JSONField will help you less than fully structured data. While you can do some queries on JSON fields, most of the richer queries will have to be done in python, slowing processing down.

If you're looking for runtime-changeable, structured data that you can run complex queries on, ModelModels sound like a good alternative. Most enterprise applications are in this area.

SIMD is processor specific, and is important only in certain scenarios.

Trading portability for performance is a trade-off that most developers shouldn’t be willing to make if they are open sourcing their software, because it will prevent someone from running their software on that user’s desired platform, thereby showing the user the middle finger. That’s just wrong.

> E.g. in Windows, when specifying color value using COLORREF they use the BGR format 0x00bbggrr.

Wait a little bit... isn't Windows little-endian [1]? Following the link in that sentence:

> typedef DWORD COLORREF;

> The low-order byte contains a value for the relative intensity of red; the second byte contains a value for green; and the third byte contains a value for blue.

Given that Windows is and has always been little-endian, the byte order of a COLORREF is red first, then green, then blue, that is, the order is RGB. So the reason for BGR can't be Windows' COLORREF.

>If you suggest there is life somewhere across the galaxy, they call you an astronomer.

No, that has nothing to do with being an astronomer.

>If you say you say a flying saucer in a photo of our own solar system, you are a nutjob. What is the fundamental difference?

The "astronomer" claims there is likely life somewhere across the galaxy, but doesn't state with absolute certainty that it exists, where it exists, what it looks like, etc.

Whereas "you" claim, explicitly, to have seen it in a photo, and that it is a flying saucer, and that anyone who says otherwise "perceives discussion as a threat."

Given the size of the known universe, the laws of physics forbidding, so far as we know, any form of FTL travel, the lack of any widespread corroborating evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life or technology in our solar system, and the tendency of the human brain to see things that aren't there (paredolia, false memories, etc.) the likelihood of what "you" believe to be a flying saucer being a flying saucer which just happened to be in the right place at the right time to be caught on camera is very, very, very low.

The fundamental difference between "nutjob" and "not a nutjob" is that the "nutjob" refuses to believe it can't be a flying saucer, regardless of the statistics or evidence to the contrary, whereas "not a nutjob" accepts that it almost certainly isn't.

The axiom that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" exists for a reason - not because the people requiring proof can't handle discussion, but because those claims inevitably require revising known science to be true, and "ordinary proof" is never sufficient to prove their case.
Anything other than [AQ]WERT[YZ] layout-based keyboard is already a big improvement for your fingers. The differences between Workman / Colemak / Dvorak and so on is mostly a matter of taste. One thing to note is that widely used layouts have more chances to be supported by software and by keyboard manufacturers (e.g. http://www.typematrix.com/). So it may be wiser to choose mainstream layouts that creating your own or using niche ones.

There is probably not a definitive answer for which one is better ("better" would have to be defined for this), so go ahead, read a bit about them and do your choice. Be aware though that once you have choose one, you will be stuck with it for a looong time, because switching layout is hard. You have to remap all your brain an muscle memory before being able to reach your previous efficiency. Spoiler alert: it takes months to years for this.
