No, that's not really true, but even so, sluggishness as opposed to wild progress is not a bad thing, actually.

You are missing the point. The traditional publishers didn't want to publish the book although it was good. This is a rhetorical: why? The consequences were: instead of following the traditional approach the author turned to other means of making the book available to the public. That's it.
What problem domain are you working in?
I was working on a video conferencing product targeting enterprise users. There were already many solutions on the market when I started: WebEx, BuleJeans, Skype Business, AdobeConnect, etc. As a regular video conference user, one thing bothering me most was I could not figure out who was talking to whom when there was a heated discussion. So I designed a system that could track people's attention so that everyone would know who was talking to whom. It took me a long time to build a usable product since I had never worked in the video conference industry. After I released a beta product, people told me that they would just ask for clarification if they don't know who was talking to whom. They would never learn to use a new system just because of that.
Different environment, different conventions, different bugs, different design, different support, different everything. Different teams that have to communicate. It is 'arguable' that it's twice the work, that is true. Twice is the lower bound.
It really doesn't matter. I carry a multi tool that would be illegal in my backpack and a set of lockpicks which are probably illegal too.
It is. Especially for multi billion dollar companies with 100s of developers. Because you know careful evaluation, strategic direction, ROI etc has shown users prefer to update their own hardware instead of demanding companies to write efficient software.
The bookstore syndicate's press release is addressed to the Renaudot Prize jury. They are explicitly trying to convince the jury to not vote for Koskas' book, not because of its literary merits (or lack thereof), but just because it is published by Amazon.

After Koskas was passed over by publishers and so took the reasonable step of self-publishing, the bookstores are now trying to throw him under the bus, blatantly in the pursuit of their own self-interest, because the Renaudot Prize winner will likely sell well, so they don't want a book they can't sell to win.
Isn't it the new term for report writer?

> "hide a land mine inside the law"

This isn't a great idea and there are things wrong with it at a couple of levels.

1) We do not want the government to be in an adversarial relationship with rich people. Most rich people maintain their riches by adding tremendous value to society. While they may be reticent to pay taxes, they are not enemies.

2) We do not want the government rules-lawyering the law. I'll risk being opinionated and say that the law is not meant to contain random gotchas, it is supposed to codify usual and expected behaviour.

The law is meant primarily to be followed, not broken and enforced.

3) As sibling posts mention, people who change jurisdiction to avoid taxes are going to get an actual legal opinion and have sufficient influence to get the law changed. It'd never work in practice.

You know that you can install Firefox on iOS?
I want to keep notes, many of them.

I have a scanner that with the push of a button scans records and sends them to Evernote, I then shred the paper. Receipts, invoices, various mailed things all go into Evernote.

I also use Evernote web clip to save a copy of a web article (or often a recipe) which I would like to either finish later, have for reference, or share with someone.

I also save notes about computer things. Research for all my options to do X, or commandline snippets to make Y happen.

Then I can scroll back in history and it helps recall to see the things I have been doing.
Anyone have a good tool to export everything out of Evernote into Google Drive or somewhere? thx
In game theory chicken the unpredictable one wins more often, as long as they don't self destruct.
Evernote to me just seemed like a worst case scenario of technology jumping the shark. Note-taking should be a simple matter, and there are good apps out there that make it nearly as easy as a pencil and paper. But Evernote is not one of them. I gave it a try and I felt like I was jumping through hoops and learning curves for basic things, which just seemed silly for note-taking and related tasks.

I've had multiple people throw stuff at me from cars, I've had a teenager take a swing at me with a baseball bat from the curb, I've had a car stalk me for eight blocks driving inches from my back tire late at night.

It was very popular for a long time. It was one of the first apps of it's kind and got some loyal users. Then stagnated while tons of competitors blossomed.
Lua is emerging as a "everything compiles to it" source target - you can have Lisp style syntax, you can have static types and JS style syntax with Haxe - it's designed to piggyback off C codebases well - and on its own, it makes a decent Lisp too. So there are a lot of potential benefits to building a stack centered around Lua.
Thanks, this is the "real" changelog. I wish projects didn't waste these great PR opportunities. There should be a blog post written by a human for human consumption that explains why we should be excited.
It can very easily be both.
I think the money quote is "By banning those words, you’re giving them the meaning you don’t want them to have." When I use "master/slave", it's not because I'm an insensitive asshole, it's because it has a distinct, technical meaning that has nothing to do with the topic you might think it does.

And thus it comes down to, "I have chosen for that word to have this particular meaning (and only that meaning), which I find offensive, therefore please don't use it anymore.", knowing full well that the speaker meant no offense when they were discussing the new drive layout. I'm not completely unsympathetic, but I sometimes feel the sympathy only goes one way.
> The Shenzhen special sauce is the high density of complimentary industries and specialized workforce.

There's now motivation to take on that difficult job, and the motivation grows the longer the trade war drags on.

Companies may even rediscover the benefits of diversification. Right now Shenzhen is unique, but I'm sure there'd be much less anxiety right now if there was a Shenzhen II in Vietnam, Mexico, or even the US where production could be shifted too in times of crisis.
It's a very common argument, so I can hardly claim it as my own, but a quick search on DDG or your favorite alternative will turn up thousands of hits[0]. Clearly it is true that human beings all over the world have braided/matted their hair for a very long time, but that doesn't seem to me to render arguments about its present-day significance moot, given that many students seem to be expelled for wearing them[1].

The goal behind "page count" as a metric is to give you an idea of how much depth you should be going into on whatever topic you're writing about.

If you're supposed to produce a twenty page paper and you've got 13 pages, you need more meat in the paper to fulfill expectations. Alternatively, if you're supposed to produce a three page summary and you've got seven pages, you're getting caught in the weeds somewhere and need to take a step back.

It's a bit easier to, at the start of the paper, make a judgement about what's expected in terms of depth when you're given a page count instead of a word count, because you know roughly how much information can fit on a page but perhaps not how many words that takes up.
I don't know about OP's environment, but the larger the codebase, the less feasible running every test locally as you go becomes. You run relevant tests locally as you go, but depending on the change it might take a long while to run ALL tests that could possibly be impacted.
There are a few scenarios. One would be Chinese companies are forced to get more efficient to survive. This makes them even more competitive and they can force out American companies in other contested regions.

Another is the inflation caused by the tariffs reducing the profits of industries that compete for the same consumer dollars. If consumers are paying more for plastic goods, then they have less money to spend on discretionary purchases.

Production moving from China to the US puts strain an already tight labor market, which displaces incumbent industries. I.e., shoe manufactures move to the US to avoid tariffs, which makes labor too expensive for the cardboard industry, who moves to another region.

All of these effects cascade to related industries.

Also, the collective "we" can win even if a large number of us suffer as a result of these policies.
I did really well in college, so when a company contacted the school and asked an advisor who'd they recommend, my name came up first.

fyi, I spent my time in school actually learning, when I felt a class assignment was worthless, and I saw slackers getting A's by pandering to the teacher, I'd focus on learning something new and screw my grades. (did just fine, but wasn't straight A's because of this)

My methods paid off. I got an internship my second semester (teacher in my first class at school told me to apply at his work place), was hired as employee after 9 months in related field while still in school, and got my first freelance gig the last month before I graduated. Freelance ever since... been working on a startup for too long now though, lol. (I think many people here are working on startups)
For mass market fiction it's the other way around. I bought a Kindle because of the ridiculous inflation in paperback prices over the past 15 years.
Also who would want vendor lock-in for their notes?
People use grep on their local code repository, which is generally less than 2 gigabytes of source. A tool like ripgrep can process that in under a second on any modern machine with a warm disk cache.

Its when you get to hundreds of repositories or 10's of gigabytes of code that local tools cannot run fast enough. They are not designed for this use-case, and usually rely on the files being searched hitting the disk cache for repeated search performance.

It may be possible for github to shell out to grep for a single repository search (I have no idea how the back-end works but I doubt its impossible) but, I suspect that almost everyone wants/expects this to work across multiple repositories or across all of the github repositories.

Since its not easily possible to do so across everything they are not adding it to even a single repository to avoid search working differently for different situations, which is a fair approach in my opinion.
The only places I found where this was not the case were companies / teams in a state where their existence and viability depended on churning out high quality software. Crisis situations with pressing needs have the doubly added advantage that they are irrational choices for those consumed by corporate politics.
Public schools are not underfunded. The inflation adjusted per student k12 spend in the us has gone up over the last 30 years.

It seems like school teachers are dramatically underpaid (a matter of opinion but I feel it's probably true in the median), but not the system as a whole.

From wikipedia [1]:

Firefox for iOS is a browser from Mozilla, for the Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch mobile devices.[5] It is the first Firefox branded browser not to use the Gecko layout engine as is used in Firefox for desktop and mobile. Due to iOS security restrictions chosen by Apple (specifically the inability to set writable pages executable, which is essential for just-in-time compilation), Firefox has to use the built-in iOS WebKit-based rendering framework instead of Gecko.

In short - no Gecko.

You've ascribed a position to me regarding Facebook ads which I haven't expressed, alongside pretty obvious whataboutism. First you say you don't think it's a big deal, but then say Facebook is just as bad or worse. I think it's a big deal in both cases and think they're both attacks on the internet. The posted (now removed) link was about Google AMP, so I'm obviously responding to the posted article, not other topics.

Edit: Also, thanks a lot to the mod who didn't merge the threads.
We might not be seeing major issues now, but I think it would be fairly easy to foresee one or two major publishing cartels controlling all publications as things continue to consolidate with internet powerhouses. Sounds absolutely ripe for censorship concerns.

As I typed that I also just remember a piece of news about our new LRT line. The new “high tech” signaling system is essentially broken, forcing the train operators to run in “visual identification mode” —- meaning half the speed so they can stop if they see something on the tracks. There is a lawsuit, and the company has until December to fix it. The line has been open for about 2 years now.
> It can't last that long. Eventually the disputes will reach a WTO tribunal, at which point both sides will either need to acquiesce, or risk going it alone outside the WTO system, or perhaps destroy the WTO altogether.

It probably can last that long. It will take years for a WTO tribunal to do its work, and even after the tribunal makes its ruling, there can be years more of foot-dragging. I can see all of that taking at least a decade.

I wrote a blog post describing how I use Evernote for GTD as well as general record keeping. Its flexibility is both a strength and a weakness: it lets you tailor a setup that works well for you, but it also makes it very difficult to see how to get the most out of it at first glance.

Presently, the electoral college benefits rural voters (Wyoming and the like) by increasing vote value. Winner-take-all elections benefit urban voters by disenfranchising rural voters (every non-Democrat county in California).

> why does fennel description insist on macros as compile time feature?

This just means that it's possible to ship the compiled code on its own and have no dependencies on Fennel at runtime. It doesn't mean you can't ship the compiler if you want to; the choice is up to you. In fact, I strongly recommend in most cases shipping the compiler so you can write and refine your code interactively as the program runs. It's helpful to think of "compile time" as a subset of runtime; it's just that portion of runtime when the function that's running happens to be the compiler!

Fennel is very well-suited for live-coding; I used this heavily when writing my entry to the Lisp Game Jam this spring. I blogged a bit about how live-reloads interact with the Lua module system here: https://technomancy.us/189

Are you seriously claiming there would be a military coup in the US over something like that? The US has very strong taboos against military intervention in politics, much stronger than exist in many other countries. That you would make such a claim calls into question much that you've said about the US.

I chose to use an RPi programmed in Python because I could eliminate a bunch of pushbuttons, the associated wiring and a complex menuing system by using a touch screen and a Tk GUI. In this case it's about getting the job done with minimum development effort; the BOM cost is pretty much irrelevant.
