It depends on whether the C code generated by Nim is at the same abstraction level as the Nim source code ... clearly that's not the case, because Nim is using C as an assembly language. People acting in bad faith can down vote me all they want (I know that wasn't you, Dominik; you're a great guy) but that's what "transpiler" means. Coffeescript is a transpiler; Nim is not at all ... it does a vastly more complex transformation of the Nim source in order to generate that C code ... as you, Dominik, are especially well aware.

And there are people who will disagree about just about anything, because they are ill informed or have poor judgment or are dishonest (looking at you, White House) ... the mere fact that there are people who disagree about something is not of significance.

WordPress 5.0: A Gutenberg FAQ
https://learngitbranching.js.org/ - this was posted recently again. it's not perfect, and isn't going to completely de-mystify git. but it's a great exercise and seems to clear up a thing or two.

if i worked in a team again, i would probably make this a required course for new hires, no matter how much experience. it isn't hard, but i've seen the occasional experienced engineer complain it's too easy and beneath them, and then fail badly on the later stages - hmm, maybe they're lying about the experience. come to think of it, it'd probably be great in an interview, too.
Yes because if risk. Who says it'll still be making anything next year.
I met/had a similar experience with Google ATAP in 2013 (was Motorala ATAP then; Google recently bought them) though not for a job interview but to discuss working together to build our tech SpeakerBlast into the Moto X.

They asked if we ever thought about selling our technology to them before the meeting and at the meeting they baited us for how our tech worked saying we'd like to work with you tell us how it works. Once we did they left the room (Dugan's 2nd right hand man at the time and another) & 3 minutes later showed us the door saying the "race is on."

They have since been awarded patents for audio syncing across phones.

Many here will say that's just how Silicon Valley works.... takes advantage and stomps on the little guy innovators & their dreams. That's not professional and I met with many other companies like Samsung who acted with the utmost respect & professionalism towards us. Yet, Google whose motto is "Don't Be Evil," can't act in the same fashion?
True, but not if you bought the car only to commute. Before my wife took a job requiring a car commute, we didn't own one. In our case nearly the entire cost can be allocated to the commute.
The tracking number was a zipfile I have to run a program to get.

I messaged Dell to confirm who they ship with, who said it's not in the post yet. Once another tracking number came in a week or so it was from dell since it had more branding and did actually contain just a number and did work in the shipping companies website.

It might be different because there's no BI yet. BI is simple so the rules can be written to be simple too. Like setting up fund and spending on basic income not a fixed amount but last years fund income instead so the fund never gives away more than it earns.
Yes, but we are not talking about that theory. It's about as relevant as complaining about epicycles.

That theory simply has nothing whatsoever to do with this article, other than the name.

Why are you bringing up a random theory that has nothing to do with article at hand? Is it just because the name reminded you of it?

It is unfortunate that two completely different theories both have the same name, but there's nothing I can do about that. You simply have to pay attention to which one is being discussed.

Hi. Glad you liked it!

I like Docker swarm lightness and simplicity, but I regret there is no official and built-in solution to automatically attach/detach volumes associated to a service (for example backed by Amazon Elastic Block Storage, Google Persistent Disks, or DigitalOcean Block Storage volumes).

I also miss the concept of pod (the ability to colocate multiple containers on the same machine and let them share the same networking stack), and the ability to launch one-off jobs (for example to run database migrations).

On a single-node cluster, these problems don't exist, which paradoxically makes Docker swarm a great solution for single-node clusters :-)

Bathroom Renovations Services – Bathroom Werx
It's actually sort of related. Because US waitstaff get so much of their pay in tips, the industry commits fraud by under-reporting them, while in Australia the industry actually pays its staff, and so commits fraud by under-reporting hours and headcount. I'm sure prices will rise a bit until everyone figures out how to rip off the taxman again.
That's an insane ratio. Maybe makes sense for consumer markets and sale through retail channels, but not in general. Your competition will eat you alive.

You are correct that your feudal system is not a capitalist one, as the blacksmith does not own (he is not able to sell) his means of production.

The most underlying and critical point of capitalism is an individual's right of access to the market
All this class distinction stuff are part of Marx's inane ramblings

This is not the case. The Wikipedia definition for capitalism is well cited.

Then knock out the front wall of your home, put up a sign, and boom - you're now part of this magical "class" of business owners.

Yes, there is absolutely the ability to move between classes. The use of classes in the context of this definition of capitalism is to give a broad overview of how a capitalist society is structured. In your example, owning the house and stock they sell would be considered "capital".
If they were to employ an assistant, to tidy up or help sell stock (which the assistant doesn't own) then the assistant would not own their means of production. Making the assistant a "worker".

Some people even just set up tables outside their house and sell whatever they happen to like making or growing. And this isn't some vague ideal. In many nations throughout the world today this is still very much the reality, and it's awesome.

But it's not capitalism. Hence the definition I provided.

Returning to this bit:

All this class distinction stuff are part of Marx's inane ramblings.

I think shows your true colours. Economists might respectfully disagree with Marx or his ideas, but to call them inane is just ignorance.

For low hanging fruits I would recommend using Lighthouse, which is integrated into Chrome (DevTools → Audit). That's what web.dev is also using [0]. Under the hood "axe-core" is being used. Another option is pa11y [1]. All three tools offer CI integration, but you still have to do some work to fully automate it. If you're using React / JSX, there is also an eslint plugin available [2].

> "Airtable & Asana are not comparable."

I wouldn't say they're not comparable, Airtable is commonly used for the same use cases as Asana, much like Trello and Notion. Airtable can also be used for other purposes, but this doesn't make comparisons unwarranted. It even has a Kanban view.

> "$50m is not that big of a Series E raise and will obviously go to engineering and sales & marketing."

I don't find that the product is good enough to warrant investment, and I don't believe it'll be successful in the long run unless changes are made. There's people who will disagree and love Asana.

I think Notion got it right with the focus on rich text content. The tasks you need to get done and the information about your project can all be in the same project. I think Notion could become a serious contender to overtake Asana.

Just for example, I dislike sorting with Asana. You can't sort in Kanban boards. You can't sort by X and then by Y. This is what their core product is. That doesn't instill me with confidence.

I guess mark-as-dependent functionality is nice though?

I must say I am very surprised by the ARR [0], which is much more than Atlassian's $619m last year. I'll admit I was wrong there. Congratulations to them.

As of now it takes savings of a life time to afford a home in big cities. Its tenants who are getting the better end of the deal.

You could create an nginx proxy configuration that for each request for a certain webpage, it not only redirects to the webpage but also sends a subquery to another server or microservice that you need to implement, which would log the origin IP and timestamp. Then you use/process that information.
I was assuming you where being approximate and continuing to talk about the Seattle area.

Anyway, my point is more the US population is growing so just about every Metro area needs to deal with continuous growth. And 10k homes are generally not going to fill up in a single day it’s going to relate to the areas migration pattern. City’s can’t just stay static while continuing to be viable.

That said, OP seemed more concerned with Developers not paying for infrastructure which is a reasonable concern, growth on the other hand is not optional long term.
Completely agree. I know people who claim their Net Revenue is less than the amount I pay in taxes and yet they have bigger cars, keep multiple servants, and enjoy foreign holidays.

Under this system everyone would like to hoard as much money as possible. Even if it results in squeezing the others unfairly.

I do respect you for stepping up here, and my experience with Namecheap was very good (barring 2FA). I guess it comes down to trust, which is hard to gauge.

The other thing that would stop me from returning to or recommending Namecheap is GDPR compliance, or lack thereof. While I don't expect you to fight ICANN, it's a blocker. (Obviously, not many registrars offering compliance at the moment...)

Maybe. My brother had access to a computer and a piano. For a while he was big into computer graphics and everyone in my family thought he'd be a graphics designer. He ended up becoming singularly focussed on music and is now a professional music producer. We're quite similar, we're both very focussed on a single skill and have reached professional levels in our respective areas.

So I'm not sure that sort of life is an inherent quality of growing up with a computer. It's perfectly possible to push through the hard parts and find a passion with music.
No its not.

First of, there is also in legal a huge difference between publishing your secret in an ad and putting some .git folder in /.

But why even bring up the topic of virtual DOM in a course addressed at beginners? If you picture your target audience as so new to the field, why should they even care how React is working under the hood to change the contents of the screen?

Virtual DOM (unless I am mistaken) is a solution to the problem that React would have otherwise introduced. But surely, selling points of a framework are not how it solves its own technical problems, but rather what problems it undertakes to solve for its user.
It's China so as usual they are heavy-handed but they did solve the problem.

It’s down to individuals rather than culture in these things. By purely statistics, an organisation of any size has less than ethical people in it even if they have the best outward impression. Unfortunately these sorts of people tend to favour power and slowly work their way to positions that give them that. Then the whole org is a bad apple.

Having been in a similar situation before, the correct answer is “I’ll get my lawyer to contact you with our NDA process” or if you’re really worried “fuck off”.

It’s probably better to file patent first though. The patent is what you need to sell them.
I'm probably in a minority around these here parts but... Am I the only one who doesn't worry too much about all this "tracking"?

Trying to avoid tracking is like some weird obsession/hobby. You go to all these lengths and then you realise they were tracking you anyway, so you throw your arms up in disgust, exclaiming how evil they are and start trying to block that vector, soon enough rinse and repeat. I was there too only a few years ago but I've since given up and my life has gotten measurably better because of it - I no longer feel like I'm trying to "stick it to the man", I don't have to integrate a bunch of different services in an attempt to keep x and y in separate products to reduce my "awareness surface area" to any one company. I just stopped worrying so much. Simple as that. And I'm really not convinced some evil affliction is going to strike me down as a result. Next time you find yourself wasting hours of your time trying to make yourself "private" just think of all the other fun stuff you could be doing.

But if you want best bang for minute spent worrying privacy: Use Incognito, uBlock, Proton Mail and a VPN. 20 minutes of your life and you're pretty darn private. This should cover you without labouring over choices of extensions etc.
> War is a state of armed conflict between states, governments, societies and informal paramilitary groups, such as mercenaries, insurgents and militias. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces.

It's a war[0] for sure, only not led with physical armament[1], thus without an obvious "mortality" part, although I've seen people and relationships destroyed due to those underhanded manipulations[2]; but every single word in the definition applies to the current global situation in an immaterial and digital context, with economic, physical, and psychological casualties (from alteration/destruction of rational thinking to downright PTSD).

Democracy is being gradually infected, corrupted, exploited, and ultimately destroyed by the dwindling costs of propaganda through weaponisation of modern information channels.

Seems far more appropriate to get toy problems, if that is needed at all, or to get scoped problems but then get reimbursed if it takes several hours.
> The Intro on eval result not being a data is something that I don't get. If it's not data then what is it?

For an example - while technically a set of all prime numbers is data - you can't just view it in the REPL as a whole. So I interpret the "not data" notion as a shortcut to saying - a subset of data and optionally some way to navigate throgh the rest of it.

This is a completely valid point. Why would you give access to the backup storage area to the production system?

Where I have implemented it, the only access the production system has to the backup system is to connect to an ssh server with a private key, and shove a tar down the pipe, which the backup system then squirrels away somewhere safe. This is a push configuration, but it's a safe one - the backup system doesn't have access to the production system either, and the production system cannot overwrite/delete any data on the backup system.
