Computer Programming was better when there was a constraint on it.Now that chips really can't get much smaller and Moore's Law is effectively dead we are entering a new era of programming. Efficiency is going to be the low hanging fruit for getting better programming solutions.

When I look at what was done with the C64, and Amiga I am shocked at what that doomed toy company was able to do. The Amiga was easily 6 years ahead of MS and Apple at the time.

Amiga's solution to the constraint is that they gave us custom chips for graphics and sound and we could program to easily. The C64 in Assembly was so simple you really could pretty much have it in your head. If you even look at ID and Doom with 640k limitation it is pretty amazing stuff.

Memory became "free" and people just ran with whatever we wanted. Parallel computing is proving to be not the easiest thing to implement but efficient use of memory and cycles will become king of big projects.
I actually like that idea a lot. I definitely think it's a work of art.
IceStudio looks awesome and is exactly what I need! Thank you for the suggestions!

>As someone who has been producing value in a data science/machine learning role for multiple years, it's disheartening to see comments that I may be blacklisted from positions due to "only" having a bachelor's degree.

Don't worry.

The big salaries will go to people who create value and solve problems. You can do that without a PhD. In fact, if most Data Science communities are representative, PhDs feel they're above 90% of the work required to put data to work to solve problems. You know, the ones who walk into a job and say, "Oh, I don't get to apply the latest algorithm onto a perfectly cleaned toy data set? I'm leaving!". They're going to have their lunch eaten.
>And what is the problem with that? If China wants to subsidize African development or consumption, what is the problem with that? If China loans more to African nations than they can repay, it is a loss for China, not for the African nations.

Only Western powers are allowed to do that!

After all Africa is their playground. How dare anyone else meddle with it?
I'd guess the number one reason is it's easier (cheaper) to film if you don't have to fake natural light.
Kind of and in some cases sure (most obvious is union printing), but if a campaign says "no", really all the DCCC can do is threaten to pull resources (which they wouldn't for a competitive campaign). Really this happens more as advice and political pressure.

But also consider downticket races like secretary of state or state ag. Then you're talking state parties who have almost no power at all.

So yeah I think carrot is definitely better than stick, but there basically is no stick. I do think the DCCC should set up gapps for every general campaign and provide it for free, and should probably also offer it to professional Democrats, also for free, but this is a larger tech infrastructure question that starts to include organizing tech, website tech, VAN, email tech, etc. I personally think we should provide all those things, but there are a lot of (vendor, of course) politics involved, it's not cheap, and things like 2FA are so far down the list you can't see them. Again I think we agree, I just think a lot of people think the party controls campaigns and that's largely not the case, and even when it is there are arguably more urgent issues (campaign finance law training, ex) that could benefit from any kind of standardization.
Huh. This is actually a route I hadn't considered. Thanks for pointing it out! I will definitely consider it as I continue researching my next opportunities...

>you'll retain heat better with a dark, matte finish on your dome

No, they won't. There's a reason a perfect radiator is known as a "black body". Emissivity (a coefficient that describes the degree to which an object radiates, compared to a black body) is the exact inverse of reflectivity. That's why space blankets are shiny.

Of course, dark objects also absorb more heat, so depending on how much radiation you're getting from the sun, a black roof might result in a warmer home. But it won't be because it's retaining heat.
Skype, Hangouts, FaceTime and Slack are all free...?
our company moved away from slack distinctly because it was too cumbersome for them to look into a person's chat logs. IIRC they also notify the user when a manager requested/looked at their logs. They moved to a local instance of Mattermost for 'privacy' reasons, but it was the opposite of what you would think. The privacy isn't of the user, but rather they wanted a lack of privacy.
I think it's interesting that the comments here seem almost universally in favour of bright natural lighting, when clearly there are plenty of people (at least in gamedev) who feel otherwise. I tend to prefer a dimly lit room and am perfectly happy with the only light being from my monitors. Then again as an ex-gamedev troglodyte I'm also happiest working from 3pm-1am...
I totally agree with you about this subject is truly open for debate.

Most of us -especially who can access and afford these kind of devices (tv, STB, wireless mouse receivers etc.) lives in an environment which have constant and reliable electric infrastructure.

So having electric is new normal especially in wired devices and it should not be reported to the users. Stand-by led's are just electric consuming lights for me.

I will post some other examples in future like status leds. For example my router got 8 leds for internet, wlan, voip, power, etc. I really wonder that why there is a always on green light for my internet connection instead of a red problem led only blink when there is a connection problem.

I am not a professional in product design but just a regular guy who distributed by useless leds :)
Trees and greenery in general take a space from "concrete wasteland" to "human living space" for me. I have no idea why we build plazas as big concrete slabs. Who thought that was what people wanted?

Who has every thought to themselves, gee, I sure wish there was more flat concrete to look at.

There's also another variant of coin-flipping: if you're agonizing over choice between option A and option B, it means that their costs and benefits roughly cancel out - so you're wasting time deliberating, and may as well toss a coin and be done with it.
There are a couple of related topics:

1) Complex decision making in stressful situations. When you are under stress, you won't be thinking properly or have time to weigh all the pros and cons. However, you can plan ahead and consider what you would do under particular circumstances. Having a plan means you can act, right away.

2) Avoiding taking premature decisions. This helps you avoid the stress and distractions that come with deciding things that are not immediately relevant and frees you up to focus on more urgent things. Deal with it when you need to and when you have all relevant facts but no sooner.

Local News Is Dying, and Taking Small Town America with It
I only use skype to call 1 person, Before the redesign the first call would never answer, only ring out. The second call worked. A third+ call always has a periodic echo every 8ish seconds.

After the redesign every call now connect pretty fast, but there is no audio or camera for 60 seconds. Every Call & the echo remains.

Piece of shit.
> they send the same updates to everyone

Google's staggered updates to Chrome are updates sent to specific targeted users. The iOS App Store (and Google Play store, I believe) has an opt-in beta program that also sends betas to specific targeted users.

> If vendors are forced to abuse updates in this way then users are going to demand a certificate transparency-like system to stop the abuse.

But yes, leveraging users' trust in the update system is a risk that needs to be factored into the debate.
I sometimes wonder how light fixtures that mimic natural light are not a thing yet. They exist, but somehow they remained a niche product.
I remember the first time I used Skype. I think this wasn't too long after the release in '03. Me and my friend called his dad, who was in Canada, from the Netherlands. We could see him and there was hardly a delay, we were super excited and hadn't experienced anything like this before.

For a long time, this experience was tied to the Skype brand. Then FaceTime was released and I could video call my friend in Haiti in high quality without installing new applications, so that's totally replaced Skype for me.

That's part of why I justified a Model S: my Audi was averaging about half the monthly loan cost of the Tesla in service. I mean, the service guys were really nice, but I'm glad to no longer be on a first-name basis with them.

Compared the Model S: I'm at 34K miles and just going in for the first service next week.

or CO2 concentration under 1000 ... in our building they somehow trying to save money on air conditioning so we don't consider air in the office to be 'fresh' as there's usually ~1500ppm - 2000ppm CO2 concentration.
Ah, I think your comment made clear to me where my confusion stems from.

I think the problem is that there are actually two meanings for "free" used in this discussion, right?

One is "free" as a positive descriptor of a good society, comparable with words like "equal" etc.

The second one is more like ..."technical" freedom maybe? Total anarchy would be the state of maximum freedom by this definition.

Most people probably desire maximal freedom by the first definition but not the second. And to achieve the first kind (free to live my life like I want for example) the government or some other instance has to cut away freedom from the second definition (forbiding me to prevent other people too live their way, using the same example). So the discussion should rather focus on how much the government shall cut off the second king, because speaking of freedom as a onedimensional scale is obviously confusing - do you agree with that?
Good idea, thanks, I didn't think about OpenWrt.

I initially checked if there was any possibility for my spare router (a d-link dsl-3782) to connect to my phone's wifi and then allow other devices to connect to the router, but it had no such feature (plus, if I got that correctly, you would need two wifi cards for that, one which would be in access point mode and one that will connect to other access point).

My router has an usb port, so it may just be that I could use it to flash the software, install OpenWrt, and then share phone connection with router through usb. Worth the try. (and sounds like a lot of fun :P )

EDIT : sadly, that model is not supported by openwrt.

Of course, up to a point. The same goes for very long but extremely descriptive variable names. Hence, it is a tradeoff.
There is another wonderful spite house in Sarajevo, Bosnia. In the late 1800s, the Austro-Hungarian authorities cleared land in the center of town for a huge new city hall, but one man refused to sell. After years, he finally sold for an exorbitant sum and the brick-by-brick rebuilding of his home across the River Miljacka. He would sit on the bridge and lazily watch the workmen carrying his home across the river. Today it’s a traditional Bosnian restaurant called Inat Kuća (House of Spite).

UX Copywriting: 3 Testing Methods That Beat A/B Testing
I kind of regret not getting a Model X, but also kind of not... We have two kids and a dog, and have to board the dog now that she's big. The Model S with the 4 of us though, works just fine for 2,400 mile each way trips.

The one thing I really worry about in the Model X is the maintenance of the falcon wing doors.

I hate office aircon. There always seems to be a lag between hot weather starting and the ac getting ramped up, and the other way around, hot weather over, AC still on full blast.

I keep 2 different jackets in my office locker to wear at my desk in the middle of summer, because I don't know how hot or not it will be at my desk.

At least in offices without it, I know to dress appropiately based on the weather outside.

Hah. I want to feel this is right. I like to think of my work as the "full-stack" equivalent of the "data science" career path. There's no part of the data pipeline I'm not currently doing/qualifed to do/interested in doing: acquisition, transformation, storage, exploration, analysis, machine learning, presentation & dashboarding, integration, server maintenance & operations...

The "toy examples" require only a very small subset of the skills required to extract business value from an amorphous blob of data.

Even though I generally agree with your comment, I don't know where you got that replacement part from. AFAIK Librem 5 is not supposed to be modular and I certainly wouldn't pledge my money for such project unless it set its fundraising goal many times higher than they actually did. In devices like that, there's not much you can do to achieve hardware modularity without fighting with lots of constraints everywhere. The best I expect to see in similar devices is what Dragonbox Pyra does (and what Neo900 planned to do) - a sandwich with two PCBs, with one having the CPU and expected to be upgraded, and other one containing stuff that doesn't need to be upgraded as often, like various sensors, baseband etc. It wouldn't work for Librem 5 though, as it seems to be already very space constrained.

Librem 5's design makes it relatively easy to safely disable and not use the part you think is vulnerable, but you can't really replace them - that would put this project into a completely different budget category.
Well using divs would at least make you able to group the elements semantically so you could remove a single node rather than having a for loop which removes exactly three nodes. This would be significantly simpler in my opinion. And it would be less fragile since now you can redesign everything inside this node without the JavaScript breaking.
My preference is nearly a dark cave and people think I'm odd. I also use a plugin to make FF have dark backgrounds and light text. I don't enjoy squinting all the time.

In at least one case, it wasn't just me. I used to work editing photos on California's central coast and after we moved to a building with loads and loads of skylights, and got a bunch of new glossy-screen iMacs, it was really hard to get color accuracy if you wore anything but a black or white shirt. It was like staring at a mirror all day long. Eventually we got umbrellas to blot out the sun and that helped.
Well, you already have "ping pong tables", "snacks", "disrupting the world" and "open space floor plan" listed as perks quite often, so why not. It is a perk as opposed to no breathing air, so...

This is the best thing that could happen. It's not even online education that is disrupting colleges, it is their own ridiculous bs--creating all these bs majors that nobody can viably do anything with after graduating at huge personal cost in time and money. It is the fact that jobs don't line up with anything colleges produce. Not even CS majors are well prepared for the working world, so what exactly is the point? If colleges exist only to create more academics, then all they have built is a self-licking ice cream cone. That means fewer people should be attending college, not more.

Couple that with the ridiculous over-spending colleges have done in the area of real estate development, and figure out the huge carrying cost of all that new infrastructure, and it paints a very bleak picture for their future viability. They should not have taken the easy Wall Street $$. It was a sugar high.
I'd have thought "Mein Streben" would be a suitable alternative. Weird choice with "Sterben", although I don't know anything about the book.

I don't mind it that much, and I usually leave work while the sun is still out. I can see some people having an issue with it, however.

Summarising what other people have said & adding my 2 cents:

a.) Adding MixPanel, Amplitude or other Analytics is must.

b.) Understand your customer - Are you getting 150 organic downloads? I believe - you are running an ad campaign. Try to make few changes to make your app do organic downloads.

c.) Hire a good UX Designer - Run your analytics & fix the Leakage.

There are agencies who provide consulting on App Growth & Churn - Speak to them. phiture.com, prolificinteractive.com are my favorite ones.

I also consult apps for organic growth & downloads.

...sadly we have to add window when using the square brackets so it's not much shorter. Oh well.

I hope this will make URLs more transparent and _easier_ to "hack", not the opposite. URLs and deep linking is what makes the web great. If this means making that feature of the web accessible to everyone, that's awesome. If it means trying to get rid of it, that's bad.

For example, allow websites to customize how the URL is displayed. Every website nowadays has breadcrumbs. Let them put them in the URL instead. Let them provide icons and dropdowns for segments, but still allow users to change, copy and paste the raw URL (like the Windows file explorer).
What you say is true and I don't disagree with it, but we're talking about different levels of abstraction. Yes, at a lower level there is a technical difference, but if you zoom out far enough, the result is not different, i.e. in both cases the feature does not work.

I understand and agree with what you are saying about failing fast and hard being more convenient to catch bugs, as an engineer, but then we get into what is a bug and what can be ignored?

If the result is a mission critical feature breaking, you can't ignore that. Inversely, if you can ignore it, then it isn't mission critical.

So my point was, at a higher level of abstraction they are the same thing. The cause is forgetting to handle an Error in your code, the effect is a feature breaking.

Regarding that cause then, the OP was saying that it's easier to forget chaining a .catch(), but that is only assuming that you'd actually remembered to use a try in your async/await code, i.e. you are aware of the fact it might throw. I can't think of many times where I have been aware something might throw and forgotten a .catch(), but for some reason would have remembered to wrap the call with a try, were it async/await code. I guess I am saying it's unclear to me how try/catch helps one remember to handle Errors, over .catch(). Seems like the syntax is not the issue, the issue is not being aware or ignoring that the code might throw in the first place.

Obviously, this is all dependent on context and application and both perspectives are 'right' for different scenarios.
