It depends on how you want to use it. With good lighting conditions it totally is, and this matches the way in which I use our beamer quite well (during the day there's no time anyways). If you want something that works during the day and rolling down blinds is too annoying for you, then yes, it's not the best choice. But beamers have become much better than 5-10y ago for a given price. DLP technology has become affordable for high resolutions and its rainbow effect has been treated quite effectively, giving you very sharp images. Strong light bulbs are also much more prevalent. Yes you gotta replace them, but I'm anticipating many years until I run out of their 1000+ hours of lifetime, and 150 bucks or so every couple of years seems quite fine for me, more realistically it's probably going to be a new device every 5-10 years like with TVs.
This is clearly Tumblr's Digg moment. They are going to have a 100% write down on this one.

It is also worth adding Twitter has built a reasonable ad business and they are full of just as much porn as Tumblr. Google actually shows ads for porn and other adult services on their platform. If any of the higher ups at Verizon are reading this:

- Fire everyone involved in the NSFW filtering. Clearly this wasn't even tested.

- Fire everyone who thought NSFW material had to be purged from your platform.

There is a short window where you can reverse the decision and benefit from all of the people who were reminded Tumblr existed. After that window closes, your business is dead.
They took our money to build road infrastructure - they should provide the infrastructure or return the money, instead now they demand citizens should do their job and they don't even offer any money back, instead taxes are rising. I don't care much about any constraints the government (not citizens) is facing, if it's impossible they shouldn't have promised it to the voters (and get voted because of it) and definitely shouldn't have taken money for that purpose (from state budget).

Yeah, I know, there is not infinite space on Earth. That doesn't mean the government has any right to shift their responsibilities to the citizens and keep demanding money for the service they've ceased to provide.
The ancient Greek/Old Testament stories are not science-fiction though.

And how many Western governments claim to derive their legitimacy from biblical prophecy? (Whichever version thereof.) Israel comes to mind.

Talk about the elephant in the room!
note this isnt incompatible with "upgrading" your life. it's all about setting a sensible financial framework and living within that framework. if that framework permits private jets and lambos, go for it. but if it doesnt, dont.
bankruptcy and financial ruin happen when you spend money blindly. but if you work within the framework you set, it shouldnt be hard. because i strive to live within my existing framework, i havent upgraded anything. my close friends and family say im being cheap, but i think im just being smart with my money.

you obviously got a bit more, so framework can be a bit larger. Good luck :-)
I have been in your position for a month. I can honestly recommend leaving work and pursuing things that interest you instead of continuing to go to work, m-f, 9-5. It's just much nicer to operate on your own schedule.

You could probably dig up a pretty large number of high quality teaching repos to supplement those projects. I'm thinking of the types of repos that are included as supplements for MOOCs or reference books. Then you'll get some of the canonical gimmicky algorithms like fizzbuzz. But more importantly, you will get reference implementations of fundamental algorithms. Things like mergesort or binary tree search. While you are unlikely to see a straightforward implementation of those algorithms in a production repo, it wouldn't surprise me to see some the core abstract patterns repeated over and over again because they are so fundamental to CS pedagogy. And if you pick sufficiently high quality repos, you (hopefully) won't be compromising the code quality metrics driving your selection of those top starred repos.
Ah, indeed. If you count "open dev shell, manually edit globally exposed variables so that it will affect only my browser" then yes, you can have that as runtime configuration.
Hey alienreborn,

sorry that I answer here, this is totally unrelated to the topic being discussed. I've just seen that you replied me on an old HN post of mine and cannot reply there nor can I find another way to contact you on your profile.

It's regarding the habit tracker https://everyday.app I'm working on. You wrote "Your web-app is the best habit tracker ever created and I used it for a while after I paid for it very early on. :) However, I left it because mobile app is not as smooth of an experience. Currently using habitify.me across my devices but will switch back once mobile app catches up with other apps." and I'd totally love to hear in more detail what was lacking or what do you think I should get fixed to help the app catch up. Feel free to answer here or send me an email at joan@everyday.app.

Sorry for reaching out this way and thank you! :)
That’s about enough to fund Sierra Leone’s foreign aid for a couple of millennia.

Give me 1 million and let's be friends and deal with our sudden wealth.

Joke aside, you already got plenty of good advice here, I would just suggest you invest a fair amount in Bitcoin.
1. Don't start spending.
2. Get a part-time normal job, at least until you figure out a meaningful way to spend your time.
3. Help people who have nothing and face a crisis. $1k could completely change someone's life or it could give you a tiny bit of fun.

The last point goes for all of us earning more than enough to pay the bills.
Many people have done it wrong, few start to acknowledge this these days. For instance many compute how much fuel consume a bus to transport maximum load of people vs that number of people in individual cars. They do, of course, a right computation, only they forget a thing: if bus goes only full nobody will use them (too uncomfortable), normally they goes with very few people inside for most of the time, so they consume more than individual cars during the day/year except at few peak times.

Same for undergrounds: many compute how much electricity they consume, but omit to compute how much energy you need to create, maintain and evolve them.

Same for buildings: many confront how much energy is needed to heat or cool a building instead of individual houses, but they omit a thing: individual houses can evolve, being demolish for instance by children when parent's dead, tall buildings are normally not demolished and rebuilt as a result their energy efficiency is far behind individual houses (I have proven myself switching from an apartment in a big city far less cold than my actual individual home), also type of material you need to build a tall (and safe) building is far less recyclable than many individual houses.
To bring some numbers into this otherwise useless exchange of made-up anecdotes: half of all households in Berlin do not own a car.

To get back to useless anecdotes: as far as I can tell, this is not a result of poverty. Indeed car ownership is far more prevalent among the poorer immigrant community than the younger hipster community. I know people owning apartments but not cars. It’s simply a shift in the value system.
>One group runs a gauntlet of fire by sleep deprivation during pre-med training: with on-call work hours up to 120 hours a week.

I would argue this is the source of injury and death to the patients that needs to be addressed rather than powered through in some sort of macho hazing ritual. Anecdotally a very tired doctor is allegedly how my wife lost her mother.
I'm a little confused by this.

I get the specification is cloud agnostic. But it looks like the developer needs to write the underlying code to provision and maintain the application on the various clouds. It feels like a too thin abstraction. And it seems pretty leaky currently; the examples all have hard and specific requirements e.g. Azure, k8s etc.

What am I missing? Is the idea that we will create tooling to automatically create the provisioning and maintenance code?
Haha I understand where you're coming from with that, but I don't have that problem anymore. Everyone makes dumb mistakes and asks stupid questions; it's completely irrelevant, the only thing that matters is the outcome. I think if a person ever where to read any of my writing walls they may be relieved that they're not the only ones going through a process like that ;).
I already voted with my wallet when I dropped Comcast TV. What I found is that "cutting the cord" is not all unicorns and rainbows. I'm not more reliant on Comcast the ISP, and the speeds I pay for are not the speeds I get.

I also dropped Pandora, because I had/have too many streaming music options and couldn't justify it. I don't remember commercials for their ultra premium offering, maybe its because I've been a paid customer for so long?
Put most of it in the stock market. Set aside some cash and use it to improve your everyday life whenever you feel like it. For example, don't fly Economy class if it's crowded and uncomfortable. Spend your holidays in a nice place, better hotel. Eat at better restaurants. But a safer (larger?) car. Do NOT hire a wealth manager or go to some private banking advisors.
> My point is that "standard" code is infinitely more readable than either c++ or rust.

Still I'm struggling to see any code that is significantly more readable because of D's design decisions, or details on what makes D more readable than $lang (especially compared to modern C++/Rust that you seem to despise so much).
> Actually, Microsoft's insistence that IE or Edge only run on Windows has been the main reason why I don't test either.

>If free will exists, that would seem to imply that people can make decisions that affect their future. Wouldn't free will therefore imply nondeterminism?

Not necessarily.

"Free will" is being able to express your actual self (your will) in a decision.

But if on a matter that calls for A or B decision, you can make either A or B, then "you" are not a coherent thing (because you can go multiple ways. Wouldn't a person that is authentically themselves can only chose one option --the one truer to themselves and their ideas, courage, cowardice, etc.-- each time?).

So, what if there's only one possible outcome of each decision one makes each time, and the set of prior decisions (that they followed A in this matter, B in the other, and on on) is what defines you as you?

Then free will and determinism are the same thing -- the untangling of yourself as a unique being.
Very interesting. I've been thinking about writing a JSON parser for microcontrollers that would work something like this. Typically in these cases one only needs to support objects with a fixed set of keys, so such an approach could take less progmem (no storing of string literals).
You don't get to know in advance which questions will pan out into answerable ones. You could answer "why should there be a why" to literally and question about why. In fact, you could have said that about the motion of the planets, right up until Newton - which shows that the category of things that can be answered like that contracts over time.

their braking system is passive, no energy means error means brakes engaged; unlike, say, cars where no energy means .. nothing and any accident can occur.
Shouldn't this be called "Immutable Resources" rather than immutable web apps? Sure with JS the resources make up the app, but that index.html is still mutable, so no much different from an "index.php?section=whatever".

Setting such long expiry times on the cache also sounds like a great way to pollute browser caches with obsolete resources.

Well I'm sure you must have good reasons for setting something up like this and it must work for you, but to me it all sounds like mysterious incantations (why are you pressing the pause key to do something other than pause something?) and over-optimisation, rather than making things plain and simple.

How many letters do you write a day for it to need to be optimised into single key shortcuts?

My bottleneck is never formatting a letter - it's deciding what to write.

Also: what I actually meant was I didn't recognise C-X as meaning press the control key and then the X key. I've always seen that written as Ctrl + X. Why does Emacs need to do it differently to everyone else?

My feeling is that this may be the breakthrough moment for Mastodon.
Well, you wouldn’t think so, but a lot of the anger on Tumblr the past few days has been that they’re destroying major communities (more than just NSFW; they deleted everything tagged with “chronic pain”, for goodness sake, and how is that relevant?), but leaving all the Nazis alone.
Yes and no. Swap planets for uncharted islands and Star Trek (TOS at least) would be instantly recognisable to any Ancient Greek.
I think it is absolutely standard in that situation to at least take vitals every couple/few hours, no way around it. It's annoying to be woken up so often, but it's done for good reasons.
Another way to say it is:

Why should I as an Uber driver AND and rider have NYC tell voluntary adults how to conduct their business?
The tweet in question - https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1070118915139923968

He missed a space between "G-20" and "in", making what looks like a URL pointing at http://g-20.in ... so someone quickly registered it and put up an anti-Trump website. It's an easy mistake to make, but for the US national cybersecurity advisor to suggest this was Twitter "allowing someone to invade my text" is a slightly embarrassing lack of tech knowledge.
Clean, simple. I like it
You can't beat the energy efficiency of dense urban housing with modern insulation. What are you comparing?
I find this view satisfying: “free will” is the feeling that our decisions are the consequence of the train of our inner thoughts. In that sense, free will exists. The following question is whether that feeling corresponds to physical reality or is an illusion. Here I believe it’s the latter and free will is in fact merely an interpretation of what happens around us. See the book Feee Will from Sam Harris for more.
Someone living on a farm would also pay all those taxes, except “municipal”, which isn’t a universal concept.

Considering they cause less external cost by parking their car on private property, either they are currently getting a raw deal, or you are not actually paying for all of what you are consuming.

Also: you’re just making stuff up when you claim the government has ever promised you universal free parking.

Eh. You can just say no and save yourself all this hassle and risk.
>Doesn't matter, what matters is - is a commitment to punish certain behavior decreasing number of people behaving that way?

If there's no free will obviously not -- since any crime decision is predetermined upon the earlier states of the universe (even before we appeared on Earth), and any drop in crime in correlation with a "commitment to punish certain behavior" is just correlation itself, and not causation (both things being caused by those earlier states).

In fact, if there's no free will, then there's also no free decision of a "commitment to punish certain behavior" or not: all those decisions to make laws, punish certain behaviors, etc are already determined.

Without free will nobody can influence whether we create this or that law.

In essence, you started that "free will is meaningless" and then your whole argument was like as if free like totally exists and we can take actual non predetermined decisions.

there are no safe "investments", everything is a speculation.

Retire. You can live off the interest if invested in mostly stable stuff (so I've heard) assuming you don't have a larger tax bill looming.

No that is absurd and dehumanizing towards the victims.
So are there studies that show where the others went wrong? Or do you argue based on a gut feeling?
Is that really a solid argument? Haven't you also seen numerous "disasters made" with other platforms / tools / programming languages "including in important institutional and scientific ones"? (no snark intended)
I think the reality is that someone important somewhere went on tumblr and said "hey we can't advertise on this, there's porn everywhere!", rather than them trying to filter things out in order of unpleasantness.
It looks super interesting, but it's unclear to me if you can buy/sell options.

I agree (although this happens less often than you'd think, for many reasons).

But in the end, I prefer to live here and fight the good fight, instead of abandoning Southern cities to the whims of their surrounding towns and rural areas.
There is two sides here, civil and criminal law.

As for the first, It’s the same as someone uploading a stolen photo with a CC0 license, i. e. none. If the true owner finds you, they are highly likely to be entitled to get their property back.

As for criminal charges, a reasonable assumption of permission should usually work as an excuse. This will depend on the specifics, such as the item’s value, local customs, etc.

I actually found a rather valuable chair (the rietvelt) on the street, and did leave my phone number because I could not quite believe my luck. The previous owner called and told me to enjoy it.
How to enable youth entrepreneurship in Afrika
In my understanding, Corporate is tied to IE for three reasons: it is easy to manage via central policies, it is reliable at rendering legacy (esp. intranet) apps, and Edge isn't even available for some Windows editions (Enterprise LTSB).

Especially the second point isn't new. So in the past, MS has built compatibility modes into IE, where a modern rendering engine is used by default (or at least when a certain X-UA-Compatible header/meta tag is present) and a fallback engine is used upon certain triggers (explicitly via compatibility lists and X-UA-Compatible, or via heuristics, e.g. for intranet sites).

I don't understand why they couldn't do a similar thing now: use EdgeHTML in IE by default, and fall back to Trident via certain triggers.

Yes, it would have required using two different rendering engines, while IE 10 and earlier can be emulated by IE 11 Trident. I don't know how IE is built, but heck, in the early Firefox days, I used to have an extension that could seamlessly switch to IE rendering within the Firefox window. So I would like to believe that a better solution than making IE the new Walking Dead among browsers should be realistic for MS.
Maybe my browser is setup incorrectly but I can't get your addon to do anything (arch).
Same is true for DarkReader.
