On the topic of "syntax is important" (though not related to generics -- other than by aside to the Result type) I'm still not a huge fan of the handle syntax -- I reckon something more similar to Rust's .map_err() would be handled better because lots of people now use pkg/errors[1] which has the boilerplate of

if err != nil {
return errors.Wrap(err, "some message that is unique to this line")
}

and the handle construct doesn't really handle (excuse the pun) this properly (you have to re-define handle each time or have a local variable or something similar). Which means that the new construct won't actually be massively helpful unless the only thing you want to do is errors.WithStack or just bubble the error back up.

But I do get why they couldn't get .map_err() -- because that's something you can only really do if you have a Result type.

John Hughes likes to talk about the CAN bus when discussing Quickcheck and test generation.

Learning about the crazy complexity and potential for unforeseen interactions made me very unhappy when security researchers remotely controlled a car on the highway as a publicity stunt. There’s simply no way they can know with absolute certainty what might happen.

I very much like the idea of passing down notes through the generations. Much better than one of those Patek Phillipe watches.

There's lots of discussions I never had with my dad, mostly cause it's too awkward but private notes in the margins read when the same words are going into your brain seems a great idea. It's the thought that occurred to them at the same exact moment in time that you're at.
While it is a good lesson from a software perspective- your bits are going to overflow, make your software handle that gracefully- I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the blame for deaths being placed on that bug.

The bug didn't kill anyone. The scud missile fired with intent to kill did. And of course, it was fired because it was the Gulf War and countries were attacking each other. Blame who you like for that situation. But all anyone talks about is how it was the Patriot Missile bug that lead to the deaths.

The software bug failed to prevent the deaths that were going to happen anyway. Lessons learned, yes, but I'd hate to imagine a programmer somewhere living in guilt over it.

I'd prefer to stick to data exchanges that don't double my draw on electrical generation. Even just buying 2x as many solar panels to mine still has more impact than traditional currency.
To me autotools have the great advantage that I can make projects using them work relatively easily if they need adjusting in one of the many things I build, and I can write the support for a new project easily. They're pragmatic, and I don't think deserve "atrocity" by any means. In contrast, cmake often causes me to throw up my hands. It's not my experience that cmake projects just work even on GNU/Linux when needing, say, to build shared libraries or install in a different sort of tree. I've used autotools quite painlessly over many years on assorted platforms including in GCC "Canadian cross" (cross-building a cross-compiler -- between GNU/Linux, SunOS, and MS-DOS originally). I did find a new level of horror in bazel when faced with building tensorflow for a different target, despite explicit instructions for a different release.

Did any of the ones you kept have marginalia?
I purchased this book a few months ago after reading about it elsewhere. The book is not worth purchase, the article contains everything you need. The book has a lot of anecdotal tales of athletic relaxation leading to victory (though given the author was one of the greatest coaches of all time, his anecdotes have weight). It has absolutely improved my sleep, and I've been insomniac since a car wreck 11 years ago. You have to do the work though. You can't try it once and claim that "It doesn't work for me." It is a skill for those that don't have it naturally, and thus you have to practice. Thr original cohort of aviators that learned this method in ww2 practiced at least twice a day for 6 weeks straight. If you don't have 42 days straight of doing it, don't complain that it won't work for you.

While sci-hub undoubtedly plays a role here, in my field the arXiv is really what has obviated the necessity of journal subscriptions. Essentially all math papers, in both the preprint and post-review form, can be found on the arXiv. I would also emphasize that, with regard to decisions involving journal subscriptions and access, authors generally have very little power. As a researcher, if you have the grant money, you can pay to make your work open access; alternatively, you can restrict yourself to only open access journals (which in some fields, could come at significant opportunity cost).

Learning to do things for yourself in general is a huge step towards living within your means, which is a struggle for a majority of Americans. My family has plenty of money to no longer do most things for ourselves - clean, cook, yard work, house maintenance, car maintenance, etc., but I refuse to contract out anything I don't have to because 1) I usually have the free time to do it and am essentially earning money in my free time and 2) that added money goes towards experiences we could not afford if we paid for services we could easily do ourselves.

I much prefer saving the money to use how I want than enjoy extra free time I likely would not use productively.
That's kind of a survivorship bias, and again uninformed.

People in China aren't allowed to move to cities freely especially back then, there are hukous to bind you to your birthplace, back then there were even police in Shenzhen dedicated to rounding up migrant workers (so called "blindly-moving migrants") and sending them back.

What I want to say is that you likely went to some major cities and observed people there, without realizing that those people are entitled to live there, meaning good chunk of them are well-educated and that education was a privilege you need to fight for, that means dedicated learning.

If myopia in China is genetic, then there is a big contradiction: in a generation of teens, those early drop-outs who went to factories and those who were putter around in schools rarely were myopic, yet those who are good academically and skinny had a high rate of myopia.
Amazon Patent Points to In-Flight Recharging for Delivery Drones
No. Having children is, well, literally the activity most essential to the survival of society and our species itself. Of course people should get extra time off to do it.

The problem isn't that we have too many natalist incentives. The problem is that we don't have enough of them! The replacement rate is below replacement in general, and it's worse in cities.

If children, fine. But I don't begrudge people who do.
You manage the barrier by learning the language. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but I've noticed something with English Speaking folks, they don't want to learn another language. They want people to speak English to them.
The trend towards monolithic hub systems is baffling. Didn't we learn those lessons while we were struggling with mainframes and timesharing? You don't lock critical systems, ever. You don't even directly interact with them, you send them messages and if they don't receive them they should continue to function as the operator would expect. The collision avoidance system failing to function correctly is no where near as dangerous as arbitrarily applying the brakes.

> Almost every restaurant server in America makes below the minimum wage, this is allowed by law since their tips almost always take them back above the minimum.

https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/faq/esa/flsa/002.htm

If an employee's tips combined with the employer's direct wages of at least $2.13 an hour do not equal the Federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference.

So, every server by law does not make below minimum wage.

If you are unfamiliar with the American procurement process it is:

1. demand is generated by the military

2. bid out contract

3. selected a bidder (bidders are defense contractors)

4. deliver contracted goods and also maintain inventory parts and tooling for sometimes up to 25 years

5. local economy becomes dependent on this manufacturing income, bidder lobbies their local congressperson directly or indirectly

6. congressperson does these wacky ass requisition appropriations

7. the factory keeps production at the same level and with same employment

8. military gets delivery for goods they never wanted so they go into storage, because what else are you supposed to do with these things? You can't resell them because it contains military secrets, you can't scrap them from both an optics level and the general military logic that having a spare is generally fine.

This happens even moreso when it is navy vessels that are much larger cost investments (submarines and destroyers) as just making one will take years potentially and there are legitimate concerns for stopping the means of production but it really just turns into a jobs/national pride story.
It does not assign blame. It offers a way to avoid accidental collisions.

The ERL family is pretty bad as a router, in my experience. There is a longstanding firmware issue that introduces packet loss for routed packets (it doesn't multiplex across the dual cores correctly, which leads to out of order packets). If you really want to use Ubiquiti, I would suggest using an ER-X which is cheaper, doesn't have this problem, and is quadcore.

The best option in my opinion is something Intel based running a well known Linux distro with automated security updates that is fully in your control. Shorewall can do everything needed for a home router. This option is a lot more expensive though.
incompetence.

let me explain. attaching a non-essential sub-system with a large attack surface to a mission-critical network is not malicious (I hope) it is incompetence. I would accept a unidirectional serial link with a validated protocol as a sole connection between the two.

I think it is the same kind of thinking that goes into other bad ideas: flickering stop lights, red turn signals. The auto makers just don't really care or think. This is something I don't understand.

In the case of animations, if you call the main animation loop from inside the loop you will quickly get a "too much recursion" / "maximum call stack size exceeded" error.

e.g.

function main() {
// do animation stuff
main();
}

Will throw an error. If you do the following:

function main() {
// do animation stuff
window.setTimeout(main, 0);
}

You wont get the error, because main() is being called by window instead, so is not recursive.

(window.requestAnimationFrame is usually better for animation though).

by yielding publishing rights to a journal the journal gets to collect small bits of money from lots of people, the bearable cost of editing for any researcher would be quite a bit smaller, effectively for these publishers selling editing as a service is a no-go.
Windows 10 is a surprisingly awesome OS, once you remove the thin layer of crap they spray on it (Google "O&O ShutUp10" for a 20 second fix) and learn to ignore their store.

This hasn’t been true in years, AFAIK. If paid wage plus tips is below federal minimum wage, the employer is required to make up the difference.

> Bay Area tech salaries are already the highest in the nation; you could make the pitch to an employer, but I think you'd be hard pressed to get a higher salary for living in the midwest (considering the much lower cost of living).

Not just the lower cost of living. Being compensated for living through winters is a novel idea, but if you're thinking about the soft factors that don't directly involve salary and cost of living, not having to deal with the bay area commutes is pretty strong compensation in and of itself.

Having to take a pay cut and live through a season you get to ignore in CA could be kind of a bummer for some people. Getting as much as 20% of your waking life back in time spent not commuting can be a pretty strong compensation for it, though.

> Also humanity in the past was far more violent and gruesome.

Looks like an interesting book.

I know that percentage wise, violence has been decreasing. But is it simply that modern governments are bigger, more powerful, and can better contain and direct violence? Or are modern people actually less violent as far as their culture and psychology? I wonder because even in modern times we've seen incredibly developed and cultured societies turn violent and gruesome very quickly.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals | Washington, DC | Senior Software Engineer | Full-time | Onsite

Our small engineering team has become an integral part of the business functions of this niche pharmaceutical.

The day-to-day consists of all phases of the product development lifecycle for internally-used web-based business applications. Frameworks and technology include Rails, Node.js, React, Postgres, and there is a growing need for information-scaling tools like Elastic Search and Kibana.

We're very much like a start-up within an established organization, for better or for worse. We have plenty of resources devoted to our department, but things don't quite move at your typical start-up pace.

I've been an employee for more than three years now and find the work sufficiently challenging, the environment pleasant, and the benefits are excellent.

arXiv is a very important entity here, correct. It performs a different role though.

arXiv positions itself in a place before the journals in the food chain; anyone can upload a paper there, including authors who submit to journals, but all of these papers are "preliminary", as in, "before journal edits". It's questionable if journal edits actually bring any value, but nonetheless, their status is that they're going to be "likely different in some way" than whatever journals publish.

SciHub allows free access to the "final" pieces of work, even if they're equivalent (or even equal) to the "non-final" ones available on arXiv. That's a big mental difference.
