I tried ReasonML an year ago.

It was __very__ amusing to play with Variants, Pattern Matching and Units. If programm compiles - it almost always just works.
It's an indispensable tool to play around and get more ideas how to write a better programs.

And it was disastrous in __everything__ else.
Installation and compiler bugs. Terrible tooling. Terrible code packaging. Terrible Javascript interop. Painfully archaic syntax. Sometimes extremely esoteric compiler errors.

After a week i thrown out all the code and rewritten it using Typescript. Won't ever use new languages on projects with deadlines, no matter how sweet evangilists talks are.

Note that there are two cost problems with US health care.

1. It is way more expensive (both in dollars/capita and as percent of GDP) here than it is in most or all countries it is reasonable to compare against (e.g., those in the EU, the OECD, or G20).

2. The costs are going up too rapidly.

There is a tendency to conflate these two issues, which I think is a mistake because issue #2 is not just a problem in the US. The rapid increase in costs is happening in those other countries, too.

Emergency room shenanigans like we have in the US can partly explain #1, but I don't think the other civilized countries have similar shenanigans, so what the hell is going on with #2?

For example, from 1970 to 2017 US went from $327/capita to $10209/capita. That's 31.2x more expensive.

Japan over the same time went from $141/capita to $4717/capita, and Germany went from $264/capita to $5728/capita. That's growth of 33.5x and 21.7x, respectively.

That's not using constant dollars. Constant dollars for each country would change the growth to 4.9x for US, 10.1x for Japan, 6.5x for Germany. (Calculated using online inflation calculators for each country to convert the 1970 values to 2017 values, and dividing into the 2017 cost/capita). None of those are sustainable.

I don't think Jupyter offers a facility like $\frac{\answer{2}}{4} = 1/2$ for putting answer blanks in the middle of mathematical expressions. For sagemath, code like \sage{derivative(f,x)} also works, even inside an \answer.

An activity in Ximera has state, and this state is synchronized (via Fraser's differential synchronization) with all open clients, so the instructor can watch a student while they work in Ximera, and even edit the page alongside them.

Having a disjoint DNS namespace (and the needless make-work that it creates) is the issue, more than running HTTP servers on all your DCs to do redirects. There is absolutely no practical advantage to running an Active Directory domain with a public DNS name. It's all downside. It has always been all downside, and anybody who had any experience with DNS could see that all the way back in the beta and RC releases of the product in 1999 and 2000.
Why did you choose a capped VDSL connection, then? Unlike the US, we have real uncapped plans. As for price... go visit India and see if you can work out why people might not be able to pay as much for services, and why it might be possible to provide those services cheaper. Hint - people don’t get paid as much.
I am green with envy. South Africa, data is so expensive I literally only check my WhatsApp messages when using cellular networks. Everything else I do when I connect to ADSL backed WiFi connection.

Leaders eat Last by Simon Sinek

Books by Adam Grant and his podcast. He is a brilliant organizational behavioral psychologist from Wharton. Even his Thursday advice tweets are great.

I highly recommend two of his podcast episodes. One on trust which featured an international team of astronauts that had to bond for a major mission in a very short time. The second on all stars and humility about an NBA player with 2 championship rings who makes everyone else on his team perform better when he's on the floor.

Right, but if the social network website can modify the HTML that the Keybase extension is injecting, then surely it can also modify the iframe's URL to an attacker-controlled one?

Keybase could minimize that by showing the user's name and/or logo in the iframe. Barring another vulnerability, the site shouldn't know who is logged in into the extension, so they shouldn't be able to fake that.
I second this. Would I upload/integrate my public key? Certainly, if it was supported as such. That being said, KB functions just fine without an explicit PGP private key, since each device I install KB on generates its own signing key -- that's good enough for KB to verify my social idents and support initial communication; the more proofs they add the better.

But more serious and nested "secure" communication would be wiser done elsewhere.

I find the market for knowledge which others do not have but which aren't actually illegal to be quite fascinating.

There is a company who will break down a brand new car into its component parts and by knowledge of materials and production processes can tell to a very narrow margin what the cost of producing that car is - and therefore the profit potential of each sale. The information about the number of cars sold is either public or more easily obtained than the actual company accounts (public in many jurisdictions due to car registrations).

There are other companies who will buy a bunch of iPhones for example and by carefully analysing the serial numbers can deduce to within a reasonable margin exactly how many have been sold.

Using information like this I'm sure most large trading firms have very good models of the likely performance of each publicly listed company.

I wonder how far down this rabbit hole things go. Do they have people standing outside factories counting how many cars leave on the back of the truck? Do they have access to systems like Galileo in the travel industry where they could figure out how many seats had been booked on a plane, or how many rooms were booked in a hotel? They can then take a good guess at staffing / fixed costs and arrive very much in the correct ball park.
NTT - DoCoMo is one of the major providers here in Japan. The others being AU and Softbank. Having said that there are lots of new entrants who offer cheaper rates than the incumbents. They ride on the signal of the major players. I guess its kind of win-win for all. But the rates I pay is close to $10/GB. Unlimited rate for those who are ready to pay $50 or more per month ( not sure about the current rates. Could be a bit outdated)

In addition to others already mentioned, "Becoming a Manager," by Linda Hill: follows a group of new managers for a year, discussing how their understanding of their role changes. Absolutely great - for a long time I kept a home copy and a work copy. Follow-up "Being the Boss" is also good. And "The Leadership Pipeline," by Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, James Noel: what you need to learn/change to succeed at each different level of management.
Yep. In Finland, derivatives are discussed (in a superficial manner) in high school even if you take as little math as you can, but from what I’ve heard most people who don’t elect to take more in-depth courses don’t really grok what they’re about and promptly forget about them after the exam.
Nextcloud, whether self-hosted or otherwise, works great! It's just WebDAV. You can get calendar, contacts, task, and note syncing, and it can even host your documents for reference management software like Zotero.

This mirrors my own experience exactly. I too listen to a lot of soundtracks, from movies or from video games that I have enjoyed. Although music doesn't provoke an emotional response on its own, it has an incredible ability to being back emotional memories.

For a similar reason, when choosing music to listen to, I generally listen to the same songs again and again - those which have a connection to my past. It is very hard to feel anything about a new piece of music.

This means that I may regularly listen to one track by a particular artist, but have no interest in any of their other songs. I don't even like listening to remixed or live versions of songs that I enjoy - they are sufficiently different that they do not evoke any memories and hence are uninteresting to me.
90% of code is just reinventing the wheel...

I disagree. More than 99% of code doesn't require to (re)invent anything at all. Actually, if we stopped trying to be too clever, it would be much easier to clean and refactor code.

Edit, to be more specific: mechanic, repetitive, naive code is maybe boring to write, but easier to read and understand.

>Chrome simply hides the subdomain if the url bar is not in edit mode

Not so. You have to click the Omnibox twice.[1] Clicking on the Omnibox once puts you in a completely new state, "edit mode [with corrupted URL]," and clicking on the Omnibox again puts you in "edit mode [with correct URL]."

Only kids who got into higher education tracks get calculus. No need to be smug about it, many kids don't get in those tracks for any reason and might find later in life that they are interested in calculus.

I feel if anything the US education system exposes to more children than the European systems, even though I feel the system is misguided.

In any case, I had calculus in highschool, then more of it in University and I still feel I could do with a fun refresher every now and then.

That said, I'm subscribed to the Qanon subreddit and spent quite a bit of time looking into it, and I can't see the whole phenomenon as anything other than bafflingly insane.

It's like someone took the worst conspiracy theories, the worst of evangelical-ish paranoia, quite a bit of legitimate discontent with the status quo, and let it metastasize.

As such, I downvote pro-Q comments because as far as I'm concerned they're noise on the level of climate-change deniers, flat-earthers, and vaccine-causes-autism level comments.

EDIT: that said, I curious enough about the whole thing to hear a good argument as to why Qanon should be taken seriously. But privately, by email.

I wonder to what degree this is simply because the Interface for proper IPv6 management has had less work and therefore is much more restricted.

On the router I bought myself, there are a lot of settings for IPv4, and not a lot more than an 'enable-disable' toggle for IPv6. I guess this is so they can state 'supports IPv6', but for any real use, it is useless.

Firefox hides the scheme IFF it is `http://`. It doesn't hide `https://`. Also the subdomain AND the path is slightly toned down. The net effect is precisely what Google tries to do and Apple has been doing (namely, only showing the second level domain) without actually hiding any information.
Not OP but it explains why Ocalm is really good for the sort of code numerical science would turn to C++ or Fortran more stereotypically. I.e instead of focusing on programming for programming's sake (as introductory programming books sometimes tend to do) it actually digs into real applications, specifically, where a non-trivial problem is solved with elegant, short, readable and correct code.

Seconded, it's an awesome book!
I always felt that some shops that only work with ETFs or derivatives look like bucket shops. In some cases it makes me even more suspicious when it seems that you're only trading within that shop... like a betting house.

So what else is new? How come every other cop - especially in the North east - is named Dennehy or O'Reilly; every other landscaping firm is owned by people with surnames like Caruso or Zanatta; every other construction firm in California (esp. SFBA) is owned by people with surnames like Monahan and Shanahan.

Ethnic professions are nothing new, and part and parcel of American immigrant history. Just another chapter...
I love this sort of thing, but the far more interesting challenge to procedural games is engaging the player emotionally and intellectually, and giving them a sense of long term narrative progression. I'm mainly thinking of RPGs here, but it's a problem that surfaces up to this day in things like No Man's Sky. Even in non-procedural games that nevertheless allow you to continue playing in a world after all the storylines are concluded (e.g. GTA, Assassin's Creed), you still have this sense of emptiness when you realise these houses don't really have anyone in them, and there's just a city full of mostly silent people walking aimlessly around. Accumulating money or equipment isn't interesting anymore because there's nobody left to fight.

Dwarf Fortress puts in a lot of work to keep worlds and interactions rich. Even games like Football Manager are fundamentally role play, and the constantly evolving rivalries and personnel involved keep things fresh well into the game. Honestly think small but rich villages would be more interesting than massive but realistic looking cities, but this is still impressive stuff.
There was such a time for teeth. Read about George Washington's dentures. I like The Oatmeal's take embedded in their explorarion of the backfire effect.

I agree with the statement that NAT provides no privacy benefits, but there are security benefits to NAT. As Robert Graham says, "NAT is a firewall. It's the most common firewall. It's the best firewall."

I have a similar system but with the addition of an easily searchable 'reference' system. It serves to extract ideas from what I would normally confuse with tasks, in order to keep my task system lean and approachable.

I took it from David Allen's 'Getting Things Done'. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to start or adopt a similar system.
Even if you believe this is in theory a good idea, in practice it's clear that Chrome has implemented this extremely badly.

As Comment 5 on that issue points out:

> This does appear to be inconsistent/improperly implemented. Why is www hidden twice if the domain is "www.www.2ld.tld"? [...] If the root zone is a 301 to the "www" version, removing "www" from the omnibox would be acceptable since the server indicated the root zone isn't intended for use. This isn't the behavior, though.

> If example.com returns a 403 status, and www.example.com returns a 404 status, the www version is still hidden from the user. The www and the root are very obviously different pages and serve different purposes, so I believe the should be some logic regarding whether or not www should be hidden.

It's not very difficult to come up with a simple algorithm that checks HTTP standard responses and implements this in a sensible way: it seems Chrome's developers haven't even stopped to think about how this should be done properly though.

This is not so much a new policy issue as a buggy implementation issue.

No and that’s one of biggest problems, pattern match is runtime decision not compile time one. It’s a shame because pattern matching with algebraic types is the full picture of the whole thing. Without it it’s just one-legged weirdo. It would be possible to emit runtime checks, similar to how tcomb+flow does it, but that’s not gonna happen anytime soon.
> Would I upload/integrate my public key?

I presume this is a typo, but if so it's a grave one.

The naming is very transparent, the intent is that we can give everybody our public keys, they're public, while our private key must remain secret.

(I like to use the U2 Lyric "A secret is something you tell one other person, so I'm telling you" to keep straight the difference between secret keys, which we must share with somebody else, and private keys, which we shouldn't share with anybody, although DH means in practice you may never need to explicitly "tell" anyone the secret keys in hybrid systems)

I hate when people ask me that! Haha! I like some music, sure, but by and large it doesn't come into my life. I don't go to concerts (don't see the point and when I have, have not enjoyed them anywhere near as much as others who came with me), I don't have spotify, I couldn't tell you the last time I listened to an album, in the car I prefer talk radio to be on.

I wouldn't say I'm fully unable to appreciate music. But... I dunno, I can get by without.
Perhaps. Nondestructive editing tends to preserve the original image and applies edits to a copy. It could do that in a way that makes that possible, but it's likely someone would need to specifically build the capacity to remember text layers like that.

A naive implementation might just have two buffers and a list of pixel changesets and no knowledge of how the changes were made. A more advanced implementation could track more information, work on a per layer basis, and support the recovery of vector text layers from rastered ones.

So I guess the answer is not by default, but it opens the door for it to be a thing.
Get rid of passwords with pixel based authentication
That's really self-serving bias at work. It's also why the part about leaving zero ambiguity is so important. It's exactly the kind of people who didn't see it coming (while you thought you transparently had them on their very last shot) who try to bargain or give you that very, very, very last chance.

Surprises like this are rather rare, but emotionally straining for both sides: The surprised ones also are the ones with zero contingency planning or backup plan, but at some point it's really not your fault anymore if you communicated openly all along.

It's a life changing experience having someone break down in front of you, but in the end, it's a neccessary experience for both sides and a learning chance too. Your job as a leader is continuously balancing the needs of the individual with the needs of the team. And at the point you finally decided, your team already knew it wouldn't work out for a much longer time than you (if you hired right). It's your job to pull it through and not let the team get dragged down any longer.
