I think you learn a lot from watching people code that you don't get from their docs.

Here are some examples:

1. Which files do I spend time on and which ones can I ignore? The first time I tried npm I felt like I had to understand all those files that kept popping up.

2. What is a good workflow? None of those documents tell you to open up dev tools and constantly console.log out values, but in a video (I assume) this will come up.

These are two examples but they mostly they show you what you should focus on. There are dozens of little things that you won't pick up from text.
>I recommend church. It helps. You evolved to do that too.

Wait, what? I laughed out loud at that.
Actually, the story about PHP inspiring React is totally correct, at least I remember reading it somewhere when React just came out. Also Composer inspired Yarn, the NPM alternative.

Counterexample: Testing something that uses your language's Array.shuffle equivalent which doesn't expose the randomness provider. You can't put it in the right state without just stubbing the call and making it return the order you want.
It's a pretty common thing to call something "Advent of x" or "x Advent calendar" nowadays, if it involves something happening once each day between 1st and 25th of December. For example: https://24ways.org/

I wouldn't equate looks with desirability, for men it's much more complex because women have complex expectations, and that's exactly why men maintain and even enhance their desirability with age.

That being said, the desirable men are either committed (unavailable) or available because they can hop and choose to do so. So only a minority of desirable men are available. This is in strict contrast with the large majority of young women, who can almost always hop relationships should they so choose. Since overall there needs to be gender equilibrium, females are sliced by age to a much larger degree, allowing the minority of desirable men of all ages to pursue the minority of younger women.

The asimetry is caused by the fact that females are selective and males are partner-maximizing. It's not good or bad, it's a sociological truth.

If you participated in previous editions, how much time did you have to dedicate each day, on average?

I've joined similar initiatives in the past, but I always end up giving up because of not being able to keep up the pace of sitting down _every_ day.

Yeah one could just solve the problems with some offset delay, or just skip all missed problems, but then it's not fun any more, and I'd wager that the same could be done any other time of the year too...
It all depends. For example with Apache Pulsar, tailing readers are served from an in-memory cache in the serving layer (the Pulsar brokers) and only catch-up readers end up having to be served from the storage layer (Apache BookKeeper). This is a little different from DistributedLog which always required going to BookKeeper for reads.

Apache BookKeeper can add additional latency to catch-up readers, on top of the extra hop, because the data of multiple topics are combined into each ledger. This means that we lose some performance from sequential reads. This is mitigated in BookKeeper by writing to disk in batches and sorting a ledger by topic so messages of the same topic are found together, but it still involves more jumping around on disk.

Also, BookKeeper allows the nice separation of disk IO. The read and write path are separate and can be served by different disks so you can scale your reads and writes separately to a certain extent.

For all those reasons, I would have loved to have seen Twitter look at Apache Pulsar and compare performance profiles with Apache Kafka.
Are they going to file reports to the IRS on Chinese income in China? Don't think so.
Pneumatic artificial muscles were inspired by human anatomy and apparently invented way back in the 1950s [1]. When I read about them in the late 1990s, they sounded interesting, but I don't think I've ever seen them in person. It seems like adding an air compressor to a robot is a big pain and most roboticists prefer to make do with electrical actuators instead. Groxx raises an excellent point in a sibling comment about unpredictable movement with soft actuators.

I just learned from that Wikipedia page that a version of the Shadow Dexterous Hand is actuated with pneumatic muscles [2].

React is boring. It's just a javascript function which returns a Virtual DOM on every local state or external props change.
This tangent of ripping on guys more attractive than you seems incredibly irrelevant. At no point does the author say she dated men with "good looks, relative success, social skills etc."

You just sound grouchy, making excuses for yourself. Also, attractive men don't want a life of serial monogamy either.
that is not a change on the product. but on the client expectation.

We are talking about the Decision to go with microsoft or not today.

In the past clients would always deal with on-prem installs. But picking ActiveDir and Exchange was decided on their need of office.

Today, clients expect to create account, deal with SSO if they are big and that is it. Now picking microsoft offerings is still based on their need of Office.

It is all the same picture.
China is also the largest country in the world by population as well as hyper-urban. That makes the comparison difficult.

The U.S. has 1/4 of China's populations, Chicago is the 3rd largest metro area in the U.S. It has a population comparable to Qingdao, but it's relative influence in the country is similar to Chongqing or Hangzhou.

You're more easily molded into an economically productive little cog for the workforce.
I'm not sure what you think religion is if not an evolved social construct. Do you actually think religion, with all its ritual and structure and beauty exists because cave men tried to explain away the things that scared them? It is the foundation of broader social order. It makes you feel part of something bigger than yourself. It makes it possible for you to relate positively with human beings outside the 300-400 or so that you are capable of remembering and caring about at once.
Most politicians only respond to their constituency’s votes. Whatever moves the dial in their direction. So you get regulation on many relatively small things but those things like this which have little visibility and little interest from fanatical voters gets little attention. Few people care. Just look at NYC infrastructure and look at their positions on issues very far away from them (international, sovereign state concerns, etc.), and you can see where their energy goes.
If you don't have one your status is lower than even that of a homeless person.
I strongly agree. The list of features on the old list is very meaningful to a C programmer who will recognize all of those things as things would love to use every day. Its underlying message is "we're technical nerds and we made a thing that you'll like".

The new version is corporate-speak that won't appeal to.. anyone? Its underlying message is "we're trying to get you to like us and we studied how to do this".

But, like, what's the point of a programming language's website anyway? Most people who visit the site will probably be at least vaguely aware of it. You use it if recommendations online, code samples, etc are compelling, and if the early adoption story (examples and motivations) are compelling. All I ever want is a list of examples up front and center. The more words I have to get through that aren't literal actual examples that show both what the language looks like and what differentiates it... the more exhausting the whole experience.
The potential for growth is in raising the prices of its products. For example, the price of THE flagship iPhone has gone up by at least $100 for the past 2 releases. The MacBooks are also becoming more and more expensive
The weird thing is most people will call you a misogynist for bringing this up. I would argue that in most major US cities there is already a large "harem" dynamic. It's mostly invisible to the general population, but quite obvious if you're friends with men in the top 1 to 2% of dating potential.
7 Things You Need to Protect Your WordPress Site From
I think you would be suprised if you looked into how much the history of many “progressive” cities still presents massive disadvatages and flaws that go against their present-day image. Some of the most “progressive” cities also have some of the longest and most troubling histories. They still manage to elect people like Giuliani and put in place policies like this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/21/it...

New York city might be more progressive than Fort Worth, TX, but there are still plenty of conservatives even though they might be in the minority.
Definitely true, the hands-off approach they took seemed strange to me - as others make that one of the core tenants of the community early on. Since I have been in the ecosystem it's been `go get`, `vendor` directory, the various community ones, and now modules.
Until 1.7 (?) they used .svn/ in each directory. They since switched to a different storage arrangement. I don't know how good or bad it is now. Early on I've seen situations where the workspace got corrupted to the point where I needed to wipe it out and do a clean check out.
They must be able to, since brokers often use fractions of cents for penny stocks.
I think what you should do is get in touch with everyone you've worked with before and let them know you're looking for consulting work. The hard part is building up a network of people who trust you, which you've hopefully acquired with all the experience you have. I bet you this'll work a lot better than cold approaching people.
I agree with the package management system and $GOPATH. I would add that is awkward that most of the libraries are not thread safe when go routines are core to the language.
It could be argued that belief systems are an inescapable component of the human experience and religion forces a person to channel thinking about such in a deliberate cognitive way.
If I only had a piano to entertain myself I probably would not be a professional piano player, you are correct. But that's not the point of the anecdote. Replace my computer with anything else, and the frustrations will still be the same. The boredom and experimentation and learning and moments of clarity and joy and pain will still be the same.

Whether I carry the piano into my adult life doesn't matter. I've still learned how to stick through something difficult without quitting and moving on to the next exciting thing. The most valuable lesson learned in this story is that everything worth doing is boring and difficult sometimes. If you never stick through it beyond that point, you'll never learn that lesson.
Yes, you wouldn't use Sidekiq anymore either because you would have a different ActiveJob backend, but the important part is that you're eliminating a piece of infrastructure (Redis) without the the poor scalability of DelayedJob.
other people not necessarily looking to actually live in the property they've bought

Some cities have woken up to this and are imposing taxes to curb these "investments". As the world population grows and more people move from rural to urban areas, housing problems are only going to get worse.
While i can say i had similar experiences, it is indeed true that middle class wealth and options are only showing up in the recent generation(s). A lot of these things are based in reality albeit personal experiences can differ a lot and some elders may just be exaggerating

I love my Lenovo X1. I tried a hacked chromebook and the Dell xps13 first. (Gave up on Apple two years ago) No driver issues at all these days.
The X1 is great. The XPS13 has a weird coil whine issue. Biggest tweaks have been to window behavior with compiz. Takes five minutes to disable window snap and sticky edges.

I just run Ubuntu because it’s so common, but I’ve tried a handful of other distros. Some are quite nice.
I do miss Omnigraffle though, and my Apple purchased music is unplayable. I should sue them and set legal precedent forcing them to unlock on request.
Developers ask for tax breaks in the form of TIFs and cities oblige. When that happens you don't get the full revenue. A complicating factor is that you can charge more in nicer areas so developers are more willing to build there, but to get developers to build in bad areas with cheaper rents TIFs are almost required. It just so happens that those already poor areas probably need those property taxes worst of all, compounding already pernicious societal problems.

As far as I know they aren't an issue of AppSync, the managed GraphQL service of AWS.

Redux has the problem that (a) the read-only reducer concept is totally at odds with how a bunch of JS builtins work and so conceptually hard to understand for a newbie, (b) it has just so much boilerplate for "best practices" for even the simplest use case, and (c) it's not immediately clear what the benefits of wrapping your head around all that are.

For me, it took me a while of working on a web app with derived data everywhere (~15 KB raw JSON that gets updated with diffs and recombobulated into different output formats and different intersections of data with live updates), and endless debugging of data transformations by stepping back and forth through the reducer history, before I really "got" it.

On the note of (b), I really like the redux-actions project (https://redux-actions.js.org) for the way its helpers that get rid of most of that. A simple example:

const setValueA = createAction('SET_VALUE_A');
const setValueB = createAction('SET_VALUE_B');
const setValueAB = createAction('SET_VALUE_AB', (a, b) => ({ a, b }));

export const reducer = combineReducers({
valueA: handleActions({
[setValueA]: (state, action) => action.payload
[setValueAB]: (state, action) => action.payload.a
}, null),

valueB: handleActions({
[setValueB]: (state, action) => action.payload
[setValueAB]: (state, action) => action.payload.b
}, null)
});
10% annual revenue growth is low for a tech giant.
I have an hour-long train commute; I was able to solve most problems in that time.
In theory, more development = more property taxes. But reading the OP's post, it sounded like the developer was avoiding those taxes.

It's fairly common for big developers to get temporary tax abatements for developing big projects. I have seen "temporary" over 10 years, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that sometimes it goes beyond 20.

The OP mentioned Seattle, which apparently has a boilerplate 12-year tax abatement for multi-family developments: https://clarknuber.com/seattles-multifamily-property-tax-exe...

12 years is a long time to underfund municipal services in an area.
It’s crazy to think about the fact the the Oracle lock-in is so strong that even a company offering alternative solution to Oracle has taken so long to move off of it. I wonder if aws will use its learnings and start to offer consulting services to other company’s looking to move off Oracle?

The vacancy tax is just a limited version of the classic "Land Value tax", which would make sense for popular urban cities but not for suburban or rural areas.

The point of the vacancy tax is to prioritize the limited local space for the local population who live and work in the city. Vancouver is implementing a mild version of a vacancy tax to curb the issue with empty houses.

I'm curious if there's some conflicting, underlying motives from their senior level technology folks.

They had a game changing tool in Apache Storm...once Nathan Marz (creator of Storm) left twitter, another senior engineer took over that group and created his OWN variant of Twitter Storm called Heron. After much engineering PR and github fanfare [0], couple years later he leaves to start his own company to do 'enterprise heron' [1].

So is the goal here to use something that works well for their end-users? Or is it to create a shiny new tool that they can spin off into a new company?

> When we tried to eradicate it forcefully (communism), bad things happened

This is a little disingenuous.

Yes, states described as communist attempted to eradicate religion; to do that, they merely replaced religion with the state. The state became the church, its leaders became the saints.

Don't conflate the example of failed, corrupt Stalinist communist states with the concept of the eradication of religion, they're not at all mutually inclusive.
I get you point. I'd probably go float/double precision for that task.
I'm not sure how these two are related. Why would you mix modulo operations and fixed size? Modulo on an arbitrary bigint is perfectly valid and useful.
Well, now kids would be learning about overclocking video cards, messing with refresh rates, optimizing their gaming mouse etc. Same idea. I had Zork and PAC man growing up and while I enjoyed it I wasn’t completely addicted to it possibly because the graphics, multi player gaming etc weren’t there yet. It does bother me seeing my son play fortnite rather than learning python etc like I’d have been inclined to do if I were his age. Then again, I’d probably be addicted to fortnite as well.
Elementary doesn’t allow you to store things on the desktop. This seems like a silly place to take a stand.

I think it's simpler than that; I think there's a subconscious application of the doctrine of prior use. If I'm using the sunlight to grow plants, I feel like somebody shouldn't be able to roll in next door and shade my garden with solar panels. There's plenty of precedent, see water law in the West.

Even if it's OK to degrade the performance of a small minority of users, is there a big benefit to emulating 64 bit ints everywhere on 32 bit hardware? (I'm not saying there isn't a benefit, just that it's not clear to me what it is).

I don't know how many users are still on 32bit. Maybe low power network devices? Older mobile phones (Go isn't usually run on mobile, but it's possible...).

If at some point in the future 32 bit systems become totally irrelevant for Go users, maybe a release of Go could drop support for it altogether and make int an alias for int64, and save people some type casts. 32 bit systems probably aren't at that point yet though.

Great points. Thomas reardon (CTRL-labs founder) says the same in a talk you can see on YouTube (definitely check it out). I share your doubts, and wonder exactly how neuroplastic we are. Perhaps we are simply built to operate in a certain way, and solely tapping in to our nerves responsible for output won't necessarily allow us to output in hugely different ways. Even if possible, it may not be so simple,and instead becoming a digital octopus may be like having to learn the piano, requiring years of practice!
I think "community driven" means less than you fear. I think it means that community feedback is used to push the language in directions that scratch some of the major community itches. That seems perfectly reasonable to me - more reasonable than making changes in a vacuum, in fact.

But I don't think that they're going to let the community run wild and completely change the character of Go. I think they're looking for wins that matter to users, but wins that are possible within the framework of what Go is.
Yes, dealing with HiDPI is one of the configs I did have to do. I have Pop on another laptop and I kept scaling at 100%, but increased font size by 1.5x via gnome-tweaks. Annoying to have to do it, but it's a one time adjustment and doesn't look frankenstein to me. The 1.5x font adjustment is just one input box via settings tab - not messing with terminal.

I've made peace with the google privacy issues. The convenience made me more pragmatic instead of idealistic, but I hear you.
True. In-VPC has extra costs.
There are strategies that can help without medication.

It might be good to spend a couple of hours reading and learning, perhaps watching some videos with first-hand discussions. This could help cultivate future awareness and potentially reduce impact even if you do nothing else. Or maybe you rule out ADHD as a potential contributing factor entirely. Or maybe you don't have ADHD but some of the strategies are useful anyway. You won't know until you look into it. But even if it's not applicable to you, the knowledge might help you understand someone else in your life.

This stigma about the different medications, along with worry for the view that people who seek treatment are simply looking for ADHD drugs, has prevented a lot of people from seeking treatment. It's very unfortunate.
