Half of those don't quite belong in that list.

KDE/Gnome are much more than implementation details: writing a program for either is using a certain design languages and sets of UX rules, and those are user-visible.
Yes. It sucked bad time.
Yes, I've used them for the last year and their software is horrid and can barely be used to make phone calls without crashing frequently. Also, their support is quite crap.

That said, they pushed out an update about 3-4 months ago that improved stability a lot.

What? In the northern parts of of the US at least virtually nobody heats buildings with electric power. It’s gas or oil, which are not affected by the problems of maintaining capacity on the electric grid.
Do people actually give away their email address when stumbling across a mysterious non-descriptive landing-page that says nothing about who or what a company is? In other words - what's the point of having "we're in stealth mode" landing page in the first place? Might as-well point your domain at an ambiguous Tumblr blog, or a Facebook page. Thoughts?
It's interesting how Atlassian is selling many its offerings, first HipChat/Stride to Slack[0] and now Jitsi.

I'm curious why that's happening, was there some sort of leadership change that's trying to focus on "core business"?

> Clean code doesn't mean "no bugs" and "good software"

This gets missed too often: clean interfaces are important, whether it's a UI or an API. Clean code? It depends.

I once interviewed a dev who had all the right answers when it came to software development practices, TDD, etc, but when we looked at the product he was working on, the UX was a stuttering mess.

I don't care what your code looks like if you did not achieve a good end-product.

That's already the current situation. Generally all traffic congestion is into a city area in the morning and outwards from a city center in the evening. There isn't typically congestion in both directions. Either way, between that and being able to get work done in your car (so you could leave earlier). I don't think it's too bad.
Jesus. This comment is giving me anxiety. I had similar poverty issues growing up in India. My mother died for the lack of money to pay for a 500$ surgery and we didn't have $$ for funeral. I get anxiety like anything else even with the slightest disrupt in routine. I get breadth shortness and pain in stomach. My current strategy to deal with this is the Bruce Banner strategy to consider it as normal.

Quite the opposite: you don't read about most sensor failures except in tweets "grr flight delayed again". In other words, malfunctions happen and are dealt with, that's non-news by definition. Saying "there's this one case on the news, therefore it's the only one observed" misrepresents the data entirely.
In the same way as a kernel deals with e.g. with the question whether an I/O interaction has succeeded or failed? But there is a difference, a GC can guarantee that finalization will happen in the future, unless someone switches off the machine by pressing the power button. I/O cannot make this guarantee.

Do you maybe have hard real-time systems in mind when you say "deterministic"? I agree that a GC would be a bad idea for those, but these require validation of the hardware in combination with the software anyway.

Javascript has always had "actual integers". As long as you stay within Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER...Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (-9007199254740991..9007199254740991) the internal representation is an integer representation.

I don’t understand how it is possible to have such an axiom. Why can you not construct the function $f : x \mapsto I(x > 2)$ where $I$ is 1 for true, 0 for false. And then prove that the preimage of $(-1,0.5)$ is $(-\infty,2]$ which is not open?

It's very creepy indeed, although not sure how dark it is, relatively speaking.

If you've ever lived in a developing country for long enough, often you've thought "I wish people had some incentive to think about my safety/comfort, not just their own". Because they don't have that incentive, and for individuals there's no social pressure to think of "public" comfort.

Priorities are:

1. family

2. myself

3. friends

4. people who may recognize me on the street

The solution might be better education in school and through social programs, to build in a civic-minded or public-minded consciousness.

But the shortcut seems to be, "if you're a lousy member of society, we'll curb your social freedoms and put you on a list".

Is that creepy in the sense that it's invasive and "nanny state/big brother"? Absolutely.

Is that dark? Well it has to be weighed against the darkness of kids growing up in a society in which life is cheap, OSHA is an incomprehensible joke, and "me-first" is the only driving force for the average person on the street. That's pretty dark too.
You're missing the point that even it these things are happening there is no need to repeat it again and again every time China is mentioned, and to comment on anything Chinese through that prism. That is what discloses the real motive: China-bashing.
There’s also this to consider:

Client side XSLT has one terrific advantage : it allows splitting up a page into dynamic and static parts. This allows you to cache almost-static-but-not-really pages very efficiently. E.g. a news paper front page with a “logged in as…” section top right, but otherwise equal content. Or HN comment pages for logged in users, which currently are uncached and can cause quite heavy load on the server for heavy threads, simply by virtue of people viewing it. I remember a situation where they explicitly asked: please log out when viewing this comment page—that shouldn’t be necessary.
The video wasn't doctored. They're arguing about the frame rate and whether it was sped up or down. Acosta clearly used force against the staffer's arm. Whether he used 100 Newtons or 200 Newtons... nobody cares. It's the principle, and the disruption and the grandstanding.
Atomicity and consistency. The classic case is balance transfer. Batch writes only cope with this to the degree that you can model your computation purely in database primitives that can execute server-side as part of the batch. If your computation involves anything else, such as external data or a computation that can't be modelled, then microbatches aren't good enough: you risk lost updates and inconsistent reads.
No, in that case you would #include all your .c files in one .c file and compile that for release, but would otherwise work in the usual manner. CMake actually has builtin support for doing just that.

primarily Azure which is by all measures inferior to the other two and they don't even know.

That's a really weird thing to say, by what measures do you mean? In terms of market share, they are AWS, then Azure, then a big gap, then Google. In terms of maturity of the managed services, it's Azure, then AWS, then Google. Google in particular has a lot of "tickbox" features just to say they have them but when you drill down they are far more basic than either Azure or AWS.

Let's say they get it at an 80% discount. VS Enterprise apparently is now available only though a cloud subscription worth ~$3000 per year so it would still be ~$600. Resharper is $299/$239/$179 (1st/2nd/3rd year).

And this is a scenario where your company can get an 80% discount (not sure this is doable) plus Resharper has a perpetual license you can keep after 1 year, just without updates.

I'm always amazed by how 100% sure 'renewables' people are that progress in renewables is absolutely 100% assumed but progress in nulcear technology is somehow almost impossible.

Nuclear is now trying to solve the problem 20 years away. If we had a mass producible MSR we have practically unlimited fuel and we can mas produce the power plant.

Lets remember that nuclear is still the largest source of carbon free energy and by many calculations, the amount invested solar/wind/batteries in renewables could already have solved the carbon issue (Germany being the example).

Furthermore we actually have prove that the nuclear solution works. France went to almost 0 carbon energy 30-40 years ago. While Germany and its fight for renewables is the biggest polluter in Europe and after absurd amounts of investments in renewables they have only just replaced nuclear, added lots of infrastructure investment and by their own plans it will take many, many more years of massive state investment to even have chance to run Germany on renewables.

If Germany had done a France/South Korea style program they could be carbon free now already (or at the least well on its way) and in 20 years. And that is with 1970 tech, not even considering GenIV.
Yeah but the whole point of the exercise is to replace fossil fuels.
This is completely anecdotal.

I had minor anxiety issues, but fasting has helped me almost eliminate it. I experience a calmness and can figure a clear route now when faced with a situation compared to earlier when it would cause anxiety.

So I guess the lesson is while we may have stresses passed along, we must figure ways out to overcome it, hopefully there are and I am not denying that I accidentally discovered one!

That's the reason I'm phasing out Visual Studio and phase in VSCode. I mess some features but it's a much more open and leaner tool.

No, Atlassian has the same leadership. In this case it was part of the Stride/Slack situation, since Jitsi was part of HipChat/Stride.
How about the backwards compatible way of:

{"value": "90071992547409949007199254740994n"}

Which would get parsed into a BigInt. This specifically means that value isn't a number but a bigint. All JSON consumers that don't support that get strings, all JSON consumers that do get BigInts (when parsing).

The only downside I see is existing json that has strings containing a number and a "n" at the end.

I don't think the goal is correct. In fact, I think the implementation should reflect the user's mental model. The closer the correspondence between the implementation's model and the user model, the less likely are surprises, bugs and limitations.

There's also the aspects of form follows function, and mechanical sympathy. The use of a tool should strongly guide its shape and design, and similarly, a user should be able to develop an intuition about what the tool is good for and what it's not good for, so they can use it to maximum effectiveness, and not be frustrated when it can't cope with a problem it's not designed for.
> isn't there a calculable, mostly-predictable limit -- for any given altitude -- to how much a plane can correct for a stall by nosediving. And when this limit is approached, shouldn't the plane's autopilot cede more control to the human pilot, if there's no indication that the pilot is otherwise incapacitated?

There is, but there will always be a dependency on sensors to feed the input values into these funcitons. Modern flight computers are far better at pretty much any flying task than humans. Other than communicating wiht traffic control and raising/lowering the flaps and gear (none of which are absolutely necessary), a modern airliner can take off, cruise and land entirely on its own, with no human intervention.

I agree that it's probably a combination of bad maintenance, a not quite perfectly fault-tolerant system design and human error of the pilots. One factor that hasn't been mentioned is that even the newest versions of the 737 contain ancient, obsolete technology. A newer airliner will probably have more redundant and more fault-tolerant systems.

Give it a few years. Or read a history book if you are impatient.
Does it? The government of North Korea is far more stable than the government of e.g. Slovenia. Still, I'd never switch countries from the latter to the former.

> I really hope the platform can break out of the Microsoft silo and attract talent from other dev communities

The problem is often trust. Like so many Microsoft projects, to me the goal of .Net Core seems to be to get as much people as possible on to a proprietary language and/or get as many devs as possible onto developing stuff that doesn't hurt Microsoft. There's no guarantee that MS will not pull the plug at some point, and then soon after that .Net and .Net Core will start to diverge, and MS will lure in as much devs as possible with proprietary functionality that everybody wants but is only in .Net, not in Core. Or they'll just pull the plug because of whatever reason, like they did with Silverlight and Xamarin.

Don't get me wrong, I kinda like C#. But right now .Net Core feels like it's been developed by Microsoft, not like it's open source. I'm not entirely sure but is looks like the community developing .Net Core is made up almost exclusively of MS people.

Arron Banks: the man who bankrolled Brexit
These guys have a legion of lawyers, maybe they can put them to good use and draft up a profit sharing agreement that underpins a shared service that has all their collective content on it. If they try to downstream their inability to play nice with each other to me by asking me to juggle the updates, breakages, outages, and platform incompatibilities of 5 different streaming services, I'm just gonna go hit the high seas because it's objectively easier. It's not about money.
There is because it's quite different if you get one thing cheaper than normal, or if you get another more expensive than normal. Imagine next time you climb into a taxi the driver says "just for you I'll charge 20% extra". Pretty sure it will be different from hearing that somebody else got a 20% discount.

So making WhatsApp cheaper than the base price is one thing. Making Signal more expensive than the base price is quite different.
I wonder if you could run distributed QEMU[1] on it and present it as a single (very "NUMA-ish") virtual machine? I know - node to node latency would kill you, but it could be fun to try.

> We just need the will to scale up.

When you ignore all problems of scale and cost then you don't actually solve the problem.

Facts are that it has been proven that you can (and quite cheaply) produce energy for a modern industrial nation with nuclear power.

And we know that no country, however much investment in all these 'hip' technologies you are talking about, has managed to even come close to powering the whole country with these technologies. And in those that have pushed on these its the opposite of cheap.

Centralized production has won out because the waste majority of the time it is a far better idea.

And as somebody has lived in a low energy house in northern Europe its neither cheap nor easy to have all these systems and any 'solution' that assumes we can do that for all houses is doomed to fail.
Because the ECtHR decided that member states have (relatively) lots of freedom in how they regulate speech pertaining religion, instead of pushing through a rule centrally? Typically, people dislike european institutions for the opposite.

GPs framing of this as "EU Human Rights Court ruled that no one is allowed to speak against Mohamed" is very misleading, the court ruled no such thing. (I still don't like how that case went, on all levels, but it's no-where near extreme as some people claim)

Technically, f is not well defined. Or rather, indicator functions aren't well defined.

In your case it is not provable that (x > 2 or x =< 2), that would require exactly the law of the excluded middle.

This is explained in one of the later slides.
There is a very real truth to what you say, and I don't believe it is bad.

We don't want golden-polished software. Software that only just does its job, makes the company money, pays the bills, and allows for future improvements where possible/necessary. Lean and mean, then refine (if the bills have been paid).

The distinction has to be made between good software and well-written software. It is very possible to have well-written bad software and awfully-written good software.

I think realising this, is what makes a junior into a senior. Having the confidence to not always do what that little birdy in your head says :)

Customers buy software that solves problems, therefore good software solves problems. Customers buy good software, not well written software. These are not always mutually exclusive.
Maybe I'm not explaining myself well -- the passages you've quoted above do tell us in very poetic language that some character is sad that their sons died in battle, but they don't show that, really.
