> he’s clearly in the wrong with his claim that Spanish has “just as many ambiguous words“ as English

How so? He's not clearly in the right either, but that's because he doesn't compare counts, which might be meaningless anyway due to the poor precision of the method （synonyms in one language look like ambiguous translations for a word in the other).

His initial problem was that he couldn't give any Spanish examples (which could suggest that none exist). But when he used this method to generate examples, it seems like Mr. Manzo changed his mind. Sounds like a triumph.
There's a question mark. Seems like pure speculation.
> due to the limited cipher suites in the RFC

With this point, I just wanted to say, I have to agree fully. The requirements that get forced on folks just to adopt HTTP/2 are frustrating. As much as I also like PFS, tying HTTP/2 to it was silly, IMO. If the old ciphers are really that bad, I wish the vendors would just commit to that and put out a timeline for deprecating them. But this "they're only bad if you're using HTTP/2" to me seems like a nonsense carrot and stick.

> client side certificates, or encrypted keys

These aren't particular to HTTP/2 though; you can use or not use them equally the same w/ HTTP/1.x. (In particular, client certs aren't going to effect most people.)

> How do you test TLS? LetsEncrypt rate limits cert creation. For the purpose of CI, there isn't an easy way to get trust on both sides. Unit test become a pain, so people just don't encrypt.

Testing your certificate issuance stuff is orthogonal to HTTP/2, again, is it not? Outside of ensuring you get the appropriate key usage bits set on the certificate, I don't see why it shouldn't be very feasible, for testing HTTP/2, to simply mock out LE w/ a self-signed certificate.

"Let a thousand blossoms bloom" isn't the right approach for package management. A package manager is IMHO not the place for creativity, competition, bikeshedding, and fragmentation because that's what we have already. The focus should be on winning devs to actually use a package format, so that users can more easily install software without upstream devs needing to maintain yet another format.

Simplified example: assume a public company trades at 20 times earnings. Interest rates have been close to zero for years.

I'm BigCo and am valued at two billion dollars. My profits are $100m a year. ($100m x 20 = $2bn)

There is a company I could buy that is complementary to my business. It's generating $20m a year in profit. The price is $140m.

Spending $140m (6 times earnings) will approx. increase your market cap by $400m (20 times earnings) -- making every shareholder richer. So what do you do? You go and raise the debt and make the acquisition if you think you can run the business.

Debt in itself isn't bad. It's a lever that makes good decisions great, or bad decisions horrible. It needs to be used conservatively. Most large companies should use both longer term and shorter term debt in their businesses.
People pay also for convenience. Also, if you are really busy making $$$ a month then there is no problem to pay 5$ a month for something that is saving you some time, some stress and so on. I was thinking the same as you...
Cognitive load theory is fairly straightforward. People are able to handle 7±2 items in their working (short-term) memory at any one time. This means reliably 5 items. Subtract one for standard normal distractors. Thus students should not be expected to have to juggle more than 4 items at any one time. The problem here is that what an item is for a student is different than what an item is for an instructor. This is due to "chunking" (technical term from psychology). For the instructor, discovering what an item is especially difficult, as they may not be aware of what they had to learn to know what they now know. Personally I'm all for minimal guidance, but it has to be closely aligned to learning outcomes, and the instructor needs to understand what an item means for the student, if they are to have a hope of introducing less than four things at a time.

CLT is a solid theory with an extremely good basis. However understanding how to apply it is hard given the knowledge difference between student and instructor.

On my home I use a few cameras for our little one plus the cats. I use a VPN on my router, and the cameras cannot connect beyond the router.

Michael Persinger, the Canadian psychology professor (Laurentian University, in Ontario) responsible for popularizing the 'God Helmet', died on August 14th of 2018. The nature of his work was well within the traditions of parapsychology, as the name of the device might immediately suggest to the reader. He was not too modest to publish work on quantum physics in vanity journals, for instance.

However, he should at least be credited for producing research that invited the test of replication, rather than evading it, even though attempts to replicate his findings have failed to date.

A great read, thanks for sharing. I've been a junior front-ender for two and a half months now, it's not much but I've been working extra hours daily and on weekends and already had to taste some stressful situations. A lot of us juniors are writing bad code and it helps a lot not to put the blame on one person but look for ways how to help each other and fix the problems. I didn't think teamwork is so important in coding.
We're not talking about thousands of formats...only a few formats make up the most popular formats around.

I see nothing special about package managers that makes competition undesirable. I think creativity and competition are good for package managers. Besides why does an upstream dev need to maintain these new formats? They can choose to support whatever they want.

Personally I don't understand why this is a big deal. Any fragmentation is the result of reasonable people disagreeing on the best approach. The plethora of different ideas is a feature of the ecosystem not a bug.
Actually, iOS will automagically load your xib for your view controllers at runtime.

Everyone involved.
Companies without debt are considered to be inefficient. The whole idea of a company is that if I have $100 to invest, I can either lend it to someone else and get interest, or I can build something and get a profit for my effort. As a company, if you can't make more money from your $100 than you could get from lending it to someone, then you shouldn't be running a company -- you should be lending your money to someone else.

If you can make more money running your business than lending money, then you can also make more money than it would cost to borrow money. If you are making 10% on your $100 and someone offers you another $100 for 5%, then it's a pretty good deal if you can expand your business. Just to make it clear, 10% on $100 is $10 and 5% on $100 is $5 dollars. So by borrowing, you expand your business and make $15 instead of $10 -- increasing your profits by 50%.

Obviously, I chose easy numbers to make the math obvious, but generally it works. The thing you need to ask yourself before you borrow money is, "What are the chances that I can make that I can expand my business with that money" and "What are the risks". But generally speaking, healthy companies can increase profits if people keep offering them more money to work with. There are a few exceptions that have so much cash that they don't know what to do with it. Believe it or not, that is considered to be a big problem.

I think that another factor is that they have quite different effects in day-to-day life. If it's cloudy you can still do most of the stuff you would normally do, but you wouldn't want to ride your car/horse/chariot/whatever at full speed in a foggy day (and in general, things that require good visibility). It's a useful distinction.

I'm not familiar with the Portuguese climate, but is fog somewhat common? If not, that might be a reason why you never felt the need for a word expressing the concept.

It's not a either-or choice. You can certainly know a lot of facts while at the same time developing those skills. In fact, my guess would be that the two are related: learning a lot of facts teaches one to learn arbitrary things, even things that aren't that interesting. This, learning things not that interesting, is the skill.

My money says an education is about developing a certain set of habits. The base one is probably being able to sit down by yourself and memorize a bunch of arbitrary detail that you can recall on command, but that's just the base, maybe 1% of the habits you should get.

I don't know, though. We may just suck at managing public education, not implementing it. In that case, no discussion of underlying theory is ever going to amount to much more than noise.

It's not just some historical curiosity from privative computing days.

Huge successful current languages don't have operator overloading now either. If anything, outside numerical/scientific work, it's even frowned upon.

And even in languages that do have them, it's not like people usually work with typed feet and such units. It is indeed safer, but I'm not sure it's mainstream (F#, Ada, Rebol, etc). Of course one can find such typed unit libs for other languages with Op. Overloading (C++ eg. has boost.units), but it's not like they're mainstream even where Operator Overloading is available.

In any case, it's not the first argument to make against a system language that it doesn't support Op. Overloading as a means for this use case.

Hi! I may have a tip for you. OLEDs emit at very specific wavelengths due to materials being used and there are very few materials that make for majority of displays. If you can create lenses that would selectively block very specific wavelengths (probably using same chemicals) then OLED displays would be dark or greatly attenuated and everything else that emits diffuse light would be only slightly attenuated (only small part of the continuous spectrum would be blocked at the specific wavelength).
