Oh God, speaking of hating VS: I recently had to nuke it and reinstall (partially my own fault), and missed the option to set file type associations. So it set any and all source files it could think of, including .py files, to VS. That is when I discovered the old functionality of setting associations by program is broken for non-store applications, as notepad++ was missing from the options list. One has to manually set the association for each and every file type. If I'm opening a source file in explorer rather than opening a solution file, it generally means I just need to take a quick peek and don't appreciate the startup delay of something as heavy as VS. And the file association panel is only half broken, since setting association per program is UWP only, while per file type still has the older control panel available.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I refuse to waste 2 hours of my life googling what has always been a relatively straightforward task. And it seems that every UWP program has to have ~40% of its "advanced" features removed like this in the name of ease of use.

>But calling that a "choice" is like saying the mafioso holding a gun to your head is giving you the freedom to decide to follow his orders.

Yes, but hunger, not Amazon, is the one holding the threat over the person, and as of yet we have not found a way to change these fundamental aspects of nature/reality. You aren't going to remove threat, you are going to just make it become realized. Think of how some areas where child labor was reduced but the reasons behind children working weren't fixed resulted in children turning to far more dangerous and illegal labor that would near universally be considered a far worse option than sweat shop work.
> FPGAs are a programmable platform, but one designed by EEs for EEs rather than for programmers.

This is the problem with FPGAs. Their performance and utility is not really disputed. Working with them is so un-ergonomic that it's frankly embarrassing.

The EE world is notoriously closed/proprietary making it incredibly difficult to explore novelty or customize tooling to suit specific needs. The situation is reminiscent of the pre-gcc era proprietary C compilers. Sure synthesis / place and route are much harder problems than compiling to machine code but I would guess that fact amplifies the need.

One can't really expect software's current development comfort without acknowledging its driving force (GNU/the free software movement).
Full Stack JavaScript Developer Needed: Work for the United Nations
Within the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Programme Support Branch (PSB) is responsible for helping OCHA country offices and humanitarian partners implement the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC). PSB, in partnership with OCHA’s Information Services Branch (ISB) is currently developing the suite of information services which support the HPC. This includes online database applications for the administration of systems such as those for the Financial Tracking Service (FTS) and the Online Projects System (OPS); as well as new online systems to facilitate the creation, management and monitoring of humanitarian response plans (HRPs). These are being built on technologies including PostgreSQL, Node.js and AngularJS.
OCHA is seeking talented and creative individuals to help in the technical development process of these online applications in conjunction with external partners, and subsequently to ensure ongoing iterative development, maintenance and support. The individual will need to have access to a Mac OSX or Linux environment.
The individual would join an OCHA-wide team of developers, product managers, designers and business analysts with expertise in core technologies used by several different projects throughout the organization, with the aim to foster closer structured collaboration and interchange between them.
The position is home-based, and ideally should be based in the same or similar time zone as Switzerland as it requires close and continuous collaboration with the team in Geneva. Travel to Geneva may be required on an as-needs basis every few months.

Seeing as how most corporate training videos still sit inside god-awful Flash or Java-applet based "corporate training" sites, and look like they were filmed in the mid-90s, I seriously doubt these poor employees are getting anything other than a basic stereoscopic video.

Many countries have reciprocal agreements for sharing intelligence. Unless you go to a country that is known for its privacy values at the highest level then you're likely not going to maintain you privacy from the government of your country or most other powerful governments.
I think this particular example is a great example of what's difficult about the world right now.

Technology has opened many new opportunities for corporations and for everyday people.

However, the pace of new opportunities is way faster than the ability that governments have to regulate the new opportunities. It would seem that companies, entrepreneurs, and silicon valley have realized this and are using it as a business strategy. If I had to sum up the business strategy, I would say "Find a regularity system that can be exploited by rapid innovation".

While it's always been a business strategy to exploit legal loopholes, I think the difference is that companies exploit an entire regulatory system which is harder to update and takes longer. Airbnb, Uber, Mechanical Turk, are all examples of exploiting a regulatory system by creating a product and then quickly scaling it up to mass adoption before the practices introduced can be outlawed.

Once something has been massively adopted it's difficult to stop completely.

While the word exploit seems inherently negative I'm not trying to make judgment value, I think it's the correct description. I don't have a strong opinion about any of these companies or exploiting regulatory systems.

However, I do think that democracy needs to find a way to keep up with the forces taking advantage of its inherent systematic boundaries, such as being slow to react. I'm not sure what needs to change but I think when you have many US citizens participating in completely unregulated labor markets there is a problem that needs to be solved.
That's a rude awakening but an expected one. It's very easy to write an elegant piece of code in scripting language only to find that some of dependencies who work magic are pretty messy to deploy.

You can usually count on having native libraries for a given activity for Java, so you can just use a JVM-based language (does Lambda support that? I bet it does.)

I'm a logician and I wouldn't call those stories a "logical nightmare". I'd even go so far as to say they have a profound deep inner logic.

Urban Dictionary: Bub
I'm a LastPass user using Yubikey nanos for both my work and home PCs. But I would like to purchase a Windows 2-in-1 that only has a single USB-C port used for charging and thus a nano wouldn't really work out well. Since Yubikeys, including these latest 5 series, do not support bluetooth, most Windows laptops don't support NFC, and LastPass does not support FIDO/U2F (so Google's Titan bluetooth won't work), is my only option to unplug the charger, plug in the USB-C Yubikey, and plug the charger back in every time I want to log into LastPass? I'm kind of an end user with this sort of stuff...
People depending on something like mechanical turk for income lack the agency to make that decision. Why don’t we allow 15 year olds to enter contracts?

Piecework is usually awful to workers. When you consider that minimum wage is about $0.25, chiseling workers out of such a small amount of money seems pretty awful.
I think the concept of "informed consent" is applicable here.

Are the workers informed? Much like the question of whether Uber drivers properly factor in the cost of maintenance, it's possible that workers do not have the right expectations of what they will earn, so articles like this are helpful in adding context and information. Let it get around that these tasks make you less than minimum wage.

Do the workers consent? Obviously they consent in at least some sense, so comparisons to slavery (as in the comments to the original article) are overblown. These workers are free to seek other options. However, it's also possible that they are correctly concluding this is their best option, due to lack of opportunity in their area, health reasons that make them immobile, etc. In that case, then two cheers for MTurk for improving their lives, to at least some extent.
It boggles the mind that JSON to arvo support for Athena isn't a native part of Firehose. Thousands of devs have had to fight, and in my case lose, this same battle. I've had decent luck with Severless framework's python requirements plugin for other C libs and for large modules. Outside of that is a hellscape of logs with import errors and a lot of waiting for feedback.

The 'Holy Shit Moment' That Led to Reddit
Thanks for the info! I'm glad that fixed this. I will reach out to them today as I migrated off the old key long ago. If they replace it, I will give it to my 10-year-old son, who uses my old keys. :)
I'm pretty sympathetic to this tactic - it's amazing how many 'intractable' political and social debates have been solved by rendering the whole problem moot for a group that's not already entrenched. Science rather famously "advances one funereal at a time", and most debates over resources don't get settled so much as growth and technology render them uninteresting. (Recall that brightly colored fabrics were once a source of enormous wealth and even legislation.)

But I'll be damned if I can work out how to apply it to childhood education. It's almost definitionally a system run by the old guard, on 'behalf' of people too young to change anything. A lot of my friends and I got to our late teens and twenties, swore up and down we were going to fix some of the obvious idiocies and cruelties and wastes of education, and just utterly failed. There's no population to offer a competing system to, and very little road into the existing for any member of the 'young smart generation' which lacks either children (to be a stakeholder) or multiple degrees and time in the trenches (to be a participant).
Did it also bring stability when Microsoft bundled IE with Windows? Because I'm not sure how you can differentiate the two (and I doubt most would think that was good for the long term health of the Internet).
Did the algorithm assume all persons time was equally valuable? From an economics standpoint this is clearly not the case, the range of salaries of public school parents could vary by a factor of 10x or more. To me it seems obvious that the rich parents should be able to pay the poor parents to take the "worse" time slots. This should be beneficial for both parties, but human pride may preclude this as a solution.

The only reason you can move so cheaply is because someone else is going to move into your living space. Somebody with a mortgage can’t move for $2,000 unless they can find a buyer.
For weight loss the devil is in the details, so your paradigm is far too broad to be useful.

For example, eating less is important, but eating too little is counter-productive and can do long-term damage to your basal metabolic rate.

Exercise is good for overall cardio fitness, muscle tone, joint health, and some excess calorie expenditure, but your body will not allow you to exercise away too much energy too quickly. Too much of a good thing here and you can end up damaging your BMR, you will feel exhausted/injured and your body will break-down muscle as much as fat.

https://www.vox.com/2018/1/3/16845438/exercise-weight-loss-m...

Your paradigm sounds a lot like what the contestants on the TV show The Biggest Loser did, and the vast majority of those dieters damaged their metabolisms and yo-yo'd back to their former obese selves.
In Flavors/Genera one has Zmacs commands: 'List Methods', 'Edit Methods' and 'List Combined Methods'. Similar functionality exists for CLOS - I think there is a 'Show CLOS Generic Function' listener command, or similar.
I think this misses the point. Issues like this are multi-faceted. Would people rather pay higher taxes or have the police get the money from speeders and parking violators? People who live in cities must have parking rules or you are walking 4 blocks from your car to house each night.

My brother-in-law is a state police. When he was on patrol, they would get lots of calls because someone mowed across someone else's property line. Or someone stole someone else's pet rabbit. Once a mom called in and claimed that her teenage son was assaulting her. When they arrived, it turned out he just wasn't listening to her and doing chores and homework so she wanted to 'scare him straight' and have the police tell him he had to. Other ones are because some 15 year old texted nudes or posted on Instagram that they were going to 'kill' a teacher that gave them a bad grade.

He is now a detective and it is like you say above. The easy ones get solved right away after some minor investigation but there are no resources to spend weeks investigating murders with no witnesses or likely suspects.

In the end, part of it comes down to what do you want the police function to be.
The best game engine is the one that YOU feel comfortable with and can learn what you need to to create the game you want.

I took one day and tried to make the same game with Unreal, Unity and Cocos2d-x. See which engine I could get the farthest with. It turned out it was Cocos2d-x. (http://cocos2d-x.org)

If I decide to start a new game in the future I will repeat the same test adding GoDot into the mix and see how I feel about each one.

You can surely write lambda functions in Clojure (or Clojurescript)! Clj on JVM on Lambda is almost a nonstarter for some tasks. A 10+ second cold start warm-up time isn't viable for a lot of use cases.

Agreed, it looks more like the new keys main draw is feature consistency across the whole YK5 line. You can now select the form factor you want and, aside from NFC, it has the same features as the other form factors. With YK4, there was not nearly the same feature parity across form factors.

I don't think there's an exact replacement. Strichartz seems like a very readable book, but it's at a very slightly lower level and I think you'd occasionally have to supplement with Rudin.
In order for a public transit system to be adequate to transport children to school, it has to be adequate, full stop.

In the US, a separate public transit system specifically for schoolchildren exists, usually because there is no effective public transit system for everybody. A child cannot catch a city bus from their home to their school when no city bus ever comes within 3 miles of their home.

Europeans often don't understand, because American urban planning makes it seem like one would have to be a madman in order to do things that way. It's not madness. That's just the way the economic incentives aligned in the past, and no one has cared to re-break the bones in order to set them properly, so everyone is crippled from birth by the history of the infrastructure.
-1 means unknown projection, though for GeoJSON you can usually assume it's either going to have an EPSG code in there or it's 4326 (the only differences in GeoJSON versions is that in newer versions of GeoJSON it HAS to be in 4326 and in older ones it could say it was something else but most things will break if they get a GeoJSON that's not 4326 even if the GeoJSON has it's CRS info in it).

> At a certain point I think the error was not the superintendent seeking a technical solution to changing start times, but seeking a solution at all on a topic where parents didn't want change.

Agreed. It's a super hard problem to solve. But this situation as a whole I think is still a good case study that developers should consider. You can do the best job possible and still get "blame" because of the political situation beyond your control. You can't fight politics and emotion with data alone.
But it took hundreds of people hours of mind-numbing planning sessions to do it back then. And they were humans, they did screw it up every once in a while.
I generally recommend against setting up your own email server.

Most people just want to use it and not maintain it.

However, in circumstances like this where you want to escape a crappy solution, I have been recommending "Mail In A Box"

It's as close to a turnkey solution as I've found. I've been using it for one of my domains for a few years now.

You'll need to be comfy with the CLI to set it up. You'll also need a VPS.

EDIT: didn't realize other folks had already recommended it. It's worked great here. :)
That's nice, but I was looking for their 990 form. That seems to have the relevant information on it, and I believe they're only required to give me an actual copy if I contact them, but it's still odd to me that it's not in the IRS database.

> programmers tend to prefer untyped (dyanamic?) languages to typed languages

I have not found this in practice. I have found that some developers prefer a dynamically typed language for certain situations, like rapid prototyping. However when maintaining code bases, I've found that developers often bemoan the lack of static types to assist in small modifications to code they haven't touched in a while.

Personally I love the ability of static, declared types to organize assumptions about code; I also love the ability to do terrible things to types to shoehorn poorly designed third party libraries into my codebase. I don't see it as a developer preference so much as dependent on the problem domain.
