That’s pretty reasonable, but here we have a patchwork of states with different laws and requirements. From my own experience, I moved from one state to another and it took two trips to the necessary official office (DMV) with a total of about 4 working hours out of my week. Is everyone willing to do this or able to?
I also find it ironic that most people take courses that benefit their employers...which really makes you wonder why more companies aren't just offering vouchers for people to buy self-study courses related to improving their productivity.

> have you tried turning down your monitor's brightness?

Not all content is too bright and white. Videos for example playing at full screen, I would not want reduced brightness for. It's the bright 100% white background of websites on a large monitor that is not comfortable.

Also most monitors have annoying UX for adjusting brightness, requiring two presses of tiny unmarked buttons to get to menu then change brightness.

I was very pleased when Youtube added their nightmode feature, which I leave on always.
Their are around 1.17 million programmers in the US, that’s far from an elite field.

Granted, it’s a somewhat more abstract skill than most things. But, plenty of young children learn basic programming and brain development means a 90 IQ adult is generally more capable of preforming tasks than a 110 IQ child. Sure, the child learns faster, but that’s of limited long term value.

Honestly, building the same basic CRUD application for some random government agency is just not that difficult. People like that don’t make 200+k, but they make up the bulk of professional programmers out there.

PS: I did say he seemed a little slow for a programmer, but still capable of the job.
I would kinda even prefer Go. Learning Dart is really specific to Flutter, I wouldn't end up using it for anything else. Go is kinda useful.

I have played with Flutter before and liked it, but was annoyed about the lack of what are now called PlatformViews. I might give it another shot now.

I just wish I could consume it from a different language, Go, TypeScript.... C# even Kotlin. I don't love learning a language for a single purpose if I can help it.
That looks to be the Segway model they also use, but I wouldn't be surprised that there is/will be a way to debird these scooters aswell.
I don't have a problem with people calling Linux "Unix-like", I have a problem with people feeling like they have to call actual Unix descendants (like forks of BSD and SVR4) "Unix-like" while IBM gets to use "Unix" for z/OS.
It might not be to you, but it is to me. MOOCs is about demolishing the ivory tower of education privilege and making high-quality education accessible to all, for free. Also when I say free, I mean free as in not funded by the government type of free.
Basically that, yes. I don't think people are necessarily conscious of the association, though.

I am happy to call something that has been going on for 2000 years “traditional”
My (I would consider) fairly deranged father was astounded that repeated beatings, threats to kill or abandon me, encouragements to commit suicide etc. caused 12 year old me to have anxiety and develop odd social behaviors and diagnosed me with having a demon. He brought someone from his church (who later went to jail for pedophilia) to examine me for demons, and took my instant dislike of the guy as more evidence for them. My friend who immigrated from India at a young age was astounded that people believe in these things in America when I told him the story. I suppose he associated it only with less educated / developed parts of the world.

I'm not in that field, but I think you can take a look at org-ref for bibliography, org-babel for R and Matlab. For me org and emacs serve more as a note keeper. I think if you are in a wet lab, many things have to be done with specific programs, but if you don't own a bench, many things on commandline can use org to do.
Okay, but self defense does not necessarily mean firearms. Applying the argument to firearms restrictions is like applying the right to have a voice in governance by requiring a specific type of governance (such as a true democracy instead of a representative one). I don't believe there's a fundamental human right to have a firearm any more than I think there is one to have a nuclear bomb. Both can be (and have been) used for defense, but we do not allow individuals (or even all countries!) to have both.

A firearm is one tool of many that can be used to defend yourself. Voting is the method for the citizens to control government in a Democracy. Once you take away or impede someone's ability to own and operate firearms, you have hampered their ability to protect themselves in some small or large part, but there are other methods available to them. Once you take away or impede someone's ability to vote, you are affecting their only way to actually affect their own governance. (all the above all assumes legal recourses are considered).

Note: This isn't to say I think we should ban guns or anything, I just think as fundamental rights go, what was presented originally was not equivalent in my eyes, as explained above.
What is a "concurrent program?" If concurrency is about program structure, does that structure have to be explicit? If I rewrite a loop to support OOE is it thereby concurrent?

A uniprocessor may be pipelined, superscalar, support SIMD, etc which would seem to satisfy the definition of parallelism. So isn't parallelism achievable on a uniprocessor?

I would like to suggest that there are other parts of NYC to live, in addition to what evanelias mentions above.

Many who complain about high rents, and feeling poor, for reasons I do not entirely understand, have a stigma of living in the other boroughs other than Manhattan.

In Queens, in a well connected (express subway line) area, one can get the same 400 sqft "dump" the author cites, for less than 1000$. And commute-wise, about 30 minutes to midtown.

Having lived both in Queens and Manhattan over many years, I find this "Manhattan or broke" attitude with largely people who move from outside NYC.

I moved to Manhattan from Queens, when I was able to afford it and not when it became affordable.
I really like Linode. You can run anything you want, it's a tiny VM in the cloud. There is a 5$/month Linode that does the job for any reasonably small project.

The space is more about supporting a variety of hobbies that require space and/or the space is available at minimal cost likely both in time & money.

With my tech friends, they seem to be able to live ridiculously minimally as their life outside of the essentials fits into a laptop/desktop. My non-tech friends are less so.

Some activities that like having more space are as follows. Sure, most on this list are available via affordable to semi-luxurious subscriptions and/or coops or definitely can be done in a small space, yet having a personal version of it or additional space offers a decent QoL improvement in the form of time saved, or simply not having to share space/equipment with family/strangers.

- Gym Equipments (powerrack, barbells, etc)
- Sauna
- Gardening
- Music (neighbors don't complain about your noise)
- Crafts
- Wood/Metal working
- Cooking/Baking
- Pets
- Art Studio (ceramics, painting, drawing, etc)
- Automotive

A bunch of these tend to also be activities/skills that some people derive a large part of their identity & happiness from, thus giving that up for living in a small space sounds like a preposterous suggestion to them.

Just a quibble but I see this a lot - if you're talking about strategy it's "bottom-up", not "bottoms-up".

A bottom-up strategy is something like marketing your tool to users who then bring it into their company for wider adoption.

A bottoms-up strategy is drinking until the problem goes away.

Youtube does that as well, and it has for a long time I guess, since I have been consistently able to reproduce the following:

1. open Youtube's home page in your main browser, while logged out and after clearing cookies

2. open the same page in a "virgin" browser (e.g. a newly created VM or even just using an incognito window)

observe that 1 has some amount of "personalisation".

When I saw this the first time I was baffled, so I did some research and found out that it's because of local storage. As per step 1, I was clearing just the cookies but not local storage.

Lesson learned: don't just clear cookies, remember to clear local storage as well

That has literally no bearing whatsoever on the morality of pretending to be someone else in order to get access to IP that you don't have the right to access. This is the second time you're calling me irrational, and it's not acceptable.

This happens quite frequently because hospitals tend to fear repercussions.

First, they fear the overzealous police who might ask for bribes because they admitted an accident victim.

Second, they fear mob violence. If even a small thing goes wrong people tend to go on a rampage - breaking stuff and harassing people.

Third, lack of awareness and general apathy of law. Most cases in India tend to run for years altogether. So, while there is a legal framework for such cases many hospitals are not aware of it or they just want to avoid making court trips for years.
This article is missing one of ChromeOS's main advantages. Ease of management (provisioning, updating, installing software, group policy like configuration, etc). If MS doesn't address that then this will flop as bad as RT and S.

I've seen Windows shops with entire teams dedicated to managing the Windows environment (not including break/fix) and I've seen environments with thousands of Chromebooks that are managed by one person (and that's not even a full time job).

MS is making some progress with Azue AD and InTune, but it's not there yet. Hopefully, by time this comes out they will have those other pieces better refined so it can all come together.
Aren't you a lawyer? Copyright is a textbook example of rent seeking. After the first copy is sold, restricting re-copying is rent seeking: extracting money without adding more value.

I suspect they will enforce a few high profile cases for meaningless products like fashion labels, and then ignore any strategically important industries citing lack of proof, or limited punishments where there is clear proof.

Trump pushing China like this is one of the better points things about his presidency (obviously opinion only). I really hope he doesn't put down his cards based on a few unlikely to be enforced points (or generally limited value) so he can tweet how he made a deal and how great he is.
I believe this use of the word "platform" in this context is a much more specific meaning where it's a counterpoint to the idea of an "aggregator." It comes up in discussions about modern large tech companies being "aggregators" or "platforms," and this is the point (allegedly) Gates is making here, that Facebook is much more an aggregator of content that users bring into the walled garden than they are an economic platform for other businesses, which is what Microsoft was/is.
Agree, data lock-in is probably the biggest concern I have with any new productivity or note-taking tool.

It's tough because innovations in tools generally require some degree of schema or file format customization. I don't know about other tools but at least with Airtable I know I can always hit the API to get my data, though I will miss out on certain business logic around it like data validation, and probably a lot of other details.

The best proxy I have to allay some of my data portability concerns is how much funding the companies have. Funding is a double-edged sword but comparing two companies, one funded at $50m and the other at $5m, it's hard not to go with the former. I am heartened though to see that some of my favorite tools (Airtable and Coda) have gotten very large investments, which tell me they'll be around for a while. When I see similar products not getting those investments, it's a strong signal to stay away or only use them as a toy.
Motion smoothing TVs have to please two very different viewers. Motion smoothing is great for for sports. Football and basketball, auto racing are good examples. When a pass is thrown downfield and the camera whip pans to follow it, motion smoothing helps the picture stay coherent and prevents ugly artifacts and fans presumably enjoy the game they are watching more.

For movie fans it's a different story. People want a certain filmic softness to motion pictures. Motion smoothing makes a lot of content look like it was shot with very deep focus. The soap opera effect. Early video cameras were not super versatile in terms of depth of field.

I guess my question for the engineers here is this. It there a way to encode a content type code within the signal or the sideband (if that's the right term) that sets could use to automatically optimize their settings. It's not like sports fans ever say, "hey I love those artifacts", or movie buffs "hey, I want it to look like Search for Tomorrow".

Doxygen can build fully hyperlinked docs with complete source listing. It’ll give you an index of all the functions, structs and global variables, and makes it easy to drill down.

If the project uses Cmake, you might look into Jet Brains’ Clion IDE, which has really great tools for code navigation, finding uses of a symbol, etc.

As others have said, find the main function or other primary entry points and start reading. It can seem hopeless at first if the codebase is large, but persistence pays off.

I often find making flow charts and graphing data relationships of key parts of the code to be really helpful.
The US has a 150 year head start on IP production, of course it benefits us to play by these rules.

Why Do Hospitals Hate Sleep So Much?
Complexity builds in a thing until it becomes too heavy to operate in its original environment, a lighter thing more adapted to the current ecosystem replaces it.

You see this in Wikipedia pages on Mathematics, they start small and succinct. Then the Mathematicians move in and make it correct and thorough. And then they keep doing this, until only Mathematicians can understand and edit it.

This exactly mirrors browser evolution. It would be nearly impossible to create a new engine, because the existing ones have accreted over time and staffed > 10M/Y in salaries. Developers are like complexity sponges. Budgets, timelines, cpu cycles, memory, latency. Any resource will be consumed by even a small number of developers on the corporate dole.

The web spec maintainers should have a total complexity budget for the thing they are specifying.

The next browser that comes out, will run in a browser using WASM and render using Canvas. It will have to, there is no other way.

That's a feature ;)

Around 40 frames a second, the stroboscopic effect evaporates. To me it is:

(1) immediately obvious, and

(2) awful

I was a film major. However, almost all of my friends and family members also think it is awful, though they never can put their finger on it. Once on Facebook a friend solicited advice on how to get it off her TV. Several of her friends replied, most saying they don't know how to turn it off but that they hate it too.

Every now and then I meet someone who welcomes these higher frame rates. Due to my immediate and visceral reaction, I do not understand them. I wonder whether they are looking at the picture and liking it more, or if they are enamored with the higher number and their logical brain overrides everything. After all, 60 > 24.

The most common explanation is that the preference is purely conditioned. Expensive movies were shot at 24, while cheap TV was shot at 60. So we got hooked on 24. (TV actually was shot at 30 frames per second, but each frame was split into 60 alternating fields, and the overall movement was 60 Hz.) I'm unconvinced. I think it could be nature not nurture.

A clue is at dance clubs. Often they have strobe lights. The effect of moving under the light of a strobe is heightened coolness (a more scientific explanation was unavailable at the time of this comment). Although I can't explain it, I'm not the only one who thinks it. There's something about it.

Odd that the most common words people use to describe higher frame rates --- which are supposed to be more realistic --- is that it looks "phony" or "fake." For example, we all remember the Hobbit exhibited in 48 frames per second. People said the sets looked less real.

Whatever it is, I think the thinking that 60 is greater than 24 is narrow-minded, because the point of movies is not slavish miming of superficial attributes of experience. Why watch a movie when you can just walk around and experience 360 degrees of 3-D high-definition video, with surround sound, and where the "acting" and "plot" are always totally realistic?

I think movies are a distillation of reality. Reality is distilled, edited, attenuated. The point is to focus your attention on some aspect thereof. A parallel can be found in the photography of Ansel Adams, for example. He captured landscape scenes where the real-life dynamic range was twice that of the photographic paper he printed it down on. Distillation. And while it is more pleasant in some ways to stand at Yosemite at take it in for yourself, with the sun in your face and the fresh air and everything, in another way it is more pleasant to look at his photographs, distilled down to 5 f-stops so you don't have to squint. And I haven't even mentioned yet that they are in black and white.

Again, it is like listening to a record of a band. In real life at a concert the dynamic range of the sound with the drum set and everything is louder than that of the record. Yet for that very reason, listening to the record can be more pleasant and you can notice certain things more easily.
Anybody that builds an app on a "platform" that can be taken away overnight is a fool. Facebook has made it clear that if they want to change a policy, they could care less about your "business".
