When I was in high school I had access to three programming tools: Commodore BASIC, 6502 assembly, and Turbo Pascal. I spent years hand coding 6502 assembly because BASIC was clearly for amateurs and I could only get at the Pascal system at school.

At one point I wrote my own Pascal interpreter for the C64. In BASIC, because I wasn't good enough to do it in assembly. It was a little slow.

I desperately wish someone had introduced me to lisp. The entire course of my life would have been different. The most frustrating thing is that I probably could have written a naive lisp interpreter in assembly.
- Different from what you are used to does not mean worse.

- Structural simplicity. Instead of having a huge mess of syntax to keep track of, it has only a very small number of constructs. Simplicity is beautiful.
"Predictive Coding".

You don't need AI.

You just need collusion between law firms i.e. to write a program, and then agree, that whatever it interprets, is the way it will be semantically enforced in court.

To be clear: the study of law is bullshit; so why not take advantage of it, and simply agree, that computer generated bullshit, is what determines it...

... of course while still retaining high rates and billable hours for "attorney review" (for billable hours/padding).
Death by 1000 cuts exists, though.

Assume $120 annually for Netflix. A cost almost everyone assumes now, and most people have (58M subscribers in the US/~120M households in the US). $120 compounded yearly at an 8% rate over 18 years is almost ~$5k. Depending on the year attended that's anywhere between 2/3 years of a degree and half of a semester at a public institution (in today's dollars).

Point is, it all adds up. And taking your example; the most expensive things we spend money on are also inflating at an abnormally high rate. The money has to come from somewhere, and when it's leaking out $10/month at a time, it's sometimes hard to find and easy to overlook.
And lots of people stayed through working on Open Connect while still using Akamai. It didn't happen overnight.

The great thing about chronic childhood stress is that it paradoxically lowers cortisol levels later in life. Take that, Alzheimer's!
> That's a bit different, right?

Sort of... sometimes CPU manufacturing processes are too efficient or mature and they produce more higher spec parts. They don't then lower the price of higher spec parts, instead they under clock the CPUs and lock them so they can't be clocked to their higher spec.

People caught wind of this fact and began overclocking their CPUs beyond their rate specifications. This started an arms race between CPU manufacturers and buyers. Intel at one point was, and possibly still is, laser cutting the CPU PCBs to physically prevent changing the clock multipliers after they're set.
I think the MacBook charge controller (probably not all model years) will reduce the max charge to below 100% if it detects prolonged AC use to reduce wear. Of course, this means you won't actually get 100% when you may need it for the first deeper discharge.

One nice thing about the Dell XPS laptops (others too I assume) is that you can configure min/max charge in the BIOS.

In any case, just leaving my devices plugged in most of the time seems to have the battery last many years, with the exception of some Android phones that don't tolerate this at all. Improvements in the last 5-10 years have probably come from better charge controllers.
> The paper is highlighting the dual identity of being Québecois: whenever Canada celebrates anything Québécois it’s Canadian, but when it’s a bad thing then that’s not Canadian.

You've hit the nail on the head with this statement. I don't mind that poutine (or any other very Québecois dish) is available in other parts of Canada or the world - heck, I find that amazing! What I do mind is exactly what you've described: when Québec does something good it's Canadian, when it's something bad it's Québecois.

A lot of developers who work at places like Google also:

* Develop software on the side for free (art)

* Work on open source software during working hours sponsored by their host company

* Can afford to have families (I notice "vibrant" communities didn't include those with children in them)

> Or cryptocurrency?

I think it's you who's actually stuck in the 20th century mentality. Cultivating urban hipster hotspots full of "artists" is pure 20th century bohemian chic.
I saw what you did there :)
Yeah. I take the UNIX approach to media storage, everything is a file.

If it's not a file, that's probably due to some anti-user nonsense (a dvd, bluray, whatever could just be an FS with an mp4/mkv/whatever file on it, but it's not, 'cos DRM.). A challenge, then.
Often one use case for markdown is reuse. The same text with markdown might go in code comments or a readme file (staying as plain text with markdown), presented with HTML markup in a browser, converted to a page description format (for instance PDF) for read-only distribution, etc.

If you write the document with HTML markup you then lose this flexibility.
Yep, but the other way around. Open source was Microsoft's fiercest enemy, and now it's managed to root deep inside the company, eating it from the inside out, turning Microsoft into something very very different than what it was 15 years ago. We won!

It's a breakout board for the SiFive E310

I wrote https://www.checkbot.io/, a Chrome extension that tests multiple pages at a time for SEO, speed and security best practices.

It's been really satisfying seeing something I built being helpful for others when I originally started it for personal use to speed up testing and development.
I personally own a lot of dvd's and blurays, but it's been a while since I actually watch them in that format.

I just rip the disc to my harddrive, demux/convert what i want (usually just the main audio to flac), then remux to mkv and store the result (video + audio + eng subs + commentary tracks). Then just watch in kodi/plex.

Dealing with the actual discs etc seems just weird, neither dvd nor bluray as a media was never any fun to use. Using a remuxed copy of a tv series i'd be half way through an episode by the time the trailers and fbi warnings stopped playing on the disc version.

Maybe "let's ask someone from a thousand years ago" isn't the best way to manage an ecosystem. Hell, ask someone in the 1950s if smoking is dangerous and you'll see the faults in the approach.
Retiring without a plan for what you’re going to do with all the time is a very bad idea. You don’t have to have hobbies and what not planned out with the rigor you’d bring to a day job, but you need something. I’ve seen far too many people in my family retire, plop down in front of a TV, and fall apart mentally and physically within a few years.

Social contact is good too, and an underrated aspect of in person day jobs. Social isolation kills.
DevOPs is not one person doing everything, it's removing the walls between developers and operations. Ideally you have a "devops team" consisting of devs and ops.

> CRTs are too non-linear for most people to tolerate black on white

What does non-linear mean? And what do you mean tolerate?

Before LCD screens all Macs were black-on-white and people loved it. The first Macs were monochrome. I don't recall anyone ever having a problem with it.

Also, I don't remember any matte CRTs -- they're all glossy because their surface is glass.

More like "Finally, thank God" (the implementer becomes a God for the day).

This is the paradox of GitHub. The product itself is closed-source, so the outsiders cannot do the work to implement that feature themselves, no matter how much they want it.

I think its more like "to erect"; "to stand down" is more like "hold back", "disengage" or "retreat" (intransitive).

stand up (intransitive) ~= stand from a sitting or lying position

stand up <direct-object> == erect, build, appoint, enact

stand-up, upstanding (adjective) == moral, ethical

stand-up [comedian] == actually standing on ones feet
When drawing conclusions, like "stress effects those struggling to get by worse than the relatively well off", I would always err on the side of evidence over imagination. Imagining something isn't even an observation.
Minneapolis? Can you share the restaurant? Anything that leaves that big of an impression is worth visiting.
If it's something other than a personal hobby project, you usually can't just dip in and out as you feel like it or have time and disappear for a month or two because you want to go on a long trip somewhere.

As I wrote elsewhere, this is the general problem with part-time activities for me. Cutting back on the hours per day or days per week is pretty straightforward. But extended absences are a lot harder.
people think they can tell others how to reduce stress, this is dumb. stress is personal, and how you deal with it is personal, so self-reflect, and listen to yourself, if you are having the idea you are impacted negativly by your stress.

look at it this way:
you have so many input bandwidth. stress is the input. any input causes stress, but there is plenty of bandwidth generally to handle this. only when there is too many incomming bandwidth, it can lead to loss / DOS.
It's personal what packets you want to handle and which you'd like to drop. this is what you can only decide for yourself.

so there is no magic bullet some researcher will invent for you to feel relaxed again. you need to figure that out for yourself. someone can guide you along your way but not tell you the way you should go... if you let people choose for you, this will lead to MORE STRESS
Why not a single exposure? My camera (Nikon D750) shows up as having 14 stops of DR on DxOMark and IRRC a typical monitor in ambient condition is 8-9 stops. I haven't tested any of this though. Any in-camera JPG processing is applying a tone-mapping function to compress the range. Is the HDR label reserved for an image that has more range than the human eye can see and not necessarily the viewing device?

Using Social Media to Grow Your Mobile Game
The difference is in the degree! I don't think the Chinese could or would decrypt all foreigners traffic (and I did mean TLS but use the more well-known SSL name) but if the question is "As someone with a trip to Beijing on the horizon, aside from using a VPN, are there any other best practices to keep data secure while traveling there?", the answer is very clearly don't connect to the internet.

I don't know the person who asked the question, whether he is a realistic government target or just some normal person but there are enough reports of cache poisoning, VPN control/blocking and Chinese hijinks to know that if you are worried about them, don't connect. Mind you, the same fear applies to the US and UK as well.

Screens are designed to distract, not educate. A screen is a great place to learn if you are not in a classroom or if you are trying to avoid class. It's a terrible way to be "in class".

I learned this in college back when laptops were expensive and relatively rare.

> The Wichita police showed up with the intention to kill him based on the false call and are hyper-prosecuting the swatter to make up for obviously murdering someone

1. You've got your jurisdictions mixed up. These charges are not from Wichita. These are Federal charges in California.

2. Hyper-prosecuting?

What in your opinion would be the correct level of prosecution for a couple dozen or so bomb threats all around the country to a variety of schools, shopping centers, apartments, and other public places plus a few swattings?
RobinHood: tail latency aware caching – dynamic reallocation from cache-rich
It's the context - the sniper thinks they're going to a dangerous hostage situation with somebody who has already killed some people, they're trying to stop someone who is killing people and threatening to kill people.

The caller is intentionally putting an innocent person in a lethal situation basically because the caller is an ass and thinks they're not responsible for what happens afterwards.

I'm not arguing about whether or not excessive force was used or if the police response was wrong in addition to being tragic (very well could have been) since that requires knowing a lot more about the case.

I'm arguing that a lot less nuance is needed to say the caller is responsible. I'd argue they intended to cause harm for bad reasons - maybe not death, but that would have been a known possible outcome.

I find this to be true when observing how friends with children raise their kids. People with more education seem to have severe limits on screens and lower education folks seem to let screens entertain their kids all day everyday.
These people are artists? It's not art if it's ugly. These creative types are almost always the same, white failures who think they can talk back to their superiors. I think I might buy up some trendy property just so I can throw these disgusting junky whites on to the street.
I feel the frustration at cultural appropriation is not that someone else is enjoying whatever part of another culture exists, or making their twist on it. It's when something is taken out of the culture it existed in with the original culture getting no recognition for their creation. Usually, the original culture is also denigrated. It's a bit like taking an open source product, calling the original creators chumps, and selling the open source product with no recognition that I ever got it from open source while continuing to make blog posts about how great my thing is and those chumps over there suck. In that example the original creators can get a little miffed but they have no real harm. On a cultural level this often is part of bigotry and oppression.

Can you share the name of the book? Is it "Compiler Construction" by Niklaus Wirth?
I agree that Nat Friedman seems to be the right CEO for GitHub. I've observed him on Twitter in the past few months and his behaviour has been top notch. Words are worthless and what only matters is action. In the last weeks, he actually took the time to reach out to actual project maintainers and contributors to listen to what they want.

Microsoft won't ruin GitHub. Windows's ecosystem need developers more than ever. Developers are on GitHub. They simply can't screw it up.

I've combined hand held bracketed shots. There are problems at the edges of things due to slight shifts in location and parallax but this can be handled in photoshop and HDR (I used to use Photomatix) does a good job at removing ghosting and edge artifacts.
> I'm sorry but this is simply incorrect, I mean it's not even close.

It isn't incorrect. It's history. Europeans have been colonizing east asia for a long time. China and most of asia consider what the europeans did to them the "age of humiliation".

> It was, for example, banned at the Beijing Olympics. Please don't try this but if you went outside in many East Asian countries with a big Rising Sun Flag you might not even make it down the street.

I agree. But that's politics rather than history.

> Second, the Japanese Empire was not at all like the British, French or Spanish in East Asia.

You are right. Lots of nationalists in asia credit the japanese for ending european colonization in asia. So it is different.

> Japanese conquest and war is remembered as catastrophic and evil

For political reason, not historical reason.

> Please, ask a Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Vietnamese what they think.

What makes you think I haven't?

As I said, for political expediency, it is easier for asians to scapegoat the japanese, but many educated asians respect what the japanese did to rid asia of european colonization.

That doesn't mean they don't abhor what the japanese empire did to them. It just means they appreciate that the japanese helped end european/white domination of asia.

After all, the japanese were the first asian nation to defeat a european power. And it's why most of asia ( including china ) model themselves after japan to a degree.

You are mistaking optics political expediency for history and reality.

It's probably my favorite as well, I remember learning it in school, the way it brings together e, i and pi, which seemed to live in separate worlds until then, amazed me, it was like discovering the keystone of math.
This. They're no longer tied to the employer in hopes of good retirement, they can instead shop around for raises/skills. Which is more money which can be self-invested back into the self-pension/401k. In 401k matching situations, this means more matched, too, instead of an arbitrary salary promise after retirement.

I do not have numbers for comparison of pension vs 401k/self-funded pension. Though I'd love to see what either gets you in similar contributions.
There are also SICP video lectures available, from the 80s.

I think the main drawback of using URLs is that you don't have a uniform way of handling versions and compatibility. It's certainly possible for a server to implement SemVer in it's URL scheme, but I think what you get with a package manager like Cargo is much more consistent.

Just a friendly reminder: Corporations are not humans. Corporation's acts are driven by profits. Last decade Microsoft CEO was describing Linux as "communism".
Some say, till this day Microsoft would go after hardware manufacturers who use Linux for patent fees, having covert patent war vs Linux. [1]

I really like how Microsoft is now, all open, free, unicorns and rainbows. Hell, they're producing some terrific open source themselves and support community.

But lets not forget - corporations are not people. Next CEO may use Github to put obstacles on OSS movement's way. Just because it is good now, doesn't mean it will be good tomorrow, or in 10 years.

P.S. Personally, I really happy where Microsoft is heading right now, and I think they're doing terrific job with their open source projects. You go Microsoft. I hope OSS way would be successful enough so MS would embrace it even more... But you never know.

EDIT:
[1] I'm aware that Microsoft recently joined Open Invention Network patent pool. But there're criticism that contributed patents are not important ones.
I tried to find ExFAT patents, but couldn't in OIN list. Also, it is really hard to find full OIN contributed patent list. Here's US patent numbers MS going around asking money for, couldn't find any confirmation of all of them being contributed 5579517 5758352 5745902 6286013
