The terminal is tricky, due to the monospace aspect. It degrades readability when the spaces between the words are as skinny as the letters, but that's what a requirement of a monospace font. One (though not perfect) workaround is to make both the spaces and the letters a little fatter. Also making the numbers readable is a challenge with monospace. I've made numbers that are more adapted to the terminal, but they could use some improvement.
If the 3 percent interest things is true, then sure.
It sounds plausible to me. Overlaying something onto a hardware-accelerated thing suddenly adds a compositing step to your rendering pipeline, which - usually - requires moving the compositing to your GPU as well, AFAIK.
All businesses have to focus on the bottom line. The lesson is to not depend on services that have no obvious way to make money for the company offering it. There are free lunches but baseing your operations on free services is foolish. Eventually it has to be closed down to protect the offering company’s solvency.
I first used them about three years ago and most recently about one year ago; packaging changed a bit, but the overall complexity and demands of the recipes didn't seem to much.

DPAGE is not able to remove user data (even if it's illegal), because we don't store it. However, storage hub providers will have the ability remove it.

What dpage can do is deny the access to illegal content by blocking illegal dpage.io urls. But then, a user can pick to use another app that serves the pages created on dpage.
Can't upvote you enough for singing the praises of the liberal arts. I majored in them myself and had to listen to a lot of people, both my peers and certain mentors, question its usefulness and basically wonder why I was wasting my time. In spite of that I have worked at two massive tech companies that the vast majority of people have heard of (one in the enterprise space, one in the consumer space) since graduating and am doing well.

The disparagement aimed at the liberal arts these days (at least in American education) is really quite saddening. The prevailing notion seems to be that the purpose of an education is to produce good STEMs, not good human beings.
Even before today's internet the famous "geniuses" existed and what they were able to do was not achievable by the ("untrained" or "untalented") mortals. There are so many examples, but I'll take just one which is, as far as I understand, indisputable:

Knuth writes an ALGOL compiler for Burroughs in 1960.

"don claimed that he could write the compiler and a language manual all by himself during his three and a half month summer vacation. He said that he would do it for $5000." "it was taking mortal human beings 25 man-years to write compilers: not three and a half man-months." "The machine had 4080 words of memory." He did it. During the summer of 1960, receiving the computer time as the "third" (after the payroll tasks and when the people developing Fortran compiler didn't need a computer). "he had been working all summer from cards" (punched cards -- for this time a normal condition: he didn't have a terminal to "interactively" develop the program -- he had to punch the cards, one line per card).
I think it's very clear the author uses atypical tools or workflow. Nothing wrong with that, they just have to accept the fact that most hackers use tools that auto indent their code intelligently and find a way to get their method/scheme/whatever in such a way to deal with it like others do.

How long until we hear of a person who included a gps unit in their bait package, but instead of taking it to the police, went to the person's house with a gun. The police would get involved at that point, though I wonder if it would be hard for them to find the perpetrator since there wouldn't be any obvious link between the two individuals if they didn't know about the gps bait package.
This is all subjective, so it's hard to make a water-tight argument either way (even if we were looking at a concrete code example)...that's one reason it's referred to as "smell" instead of a bad-practice. PEP-8 effectively starts with "A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds." Every place I've worked used a modified version of PEP-8 for standards because it never worked out of the box. Like I was saying higher up, it's hard to tell who to blame. It is the reality of using that language, but the developers have made a strong effort to address it. I guess it's a lesson to future language designers or community managers?

More concretely, I often find deeply indented code more difficult to read. There are more local variables to keep track of and breaking it out into a function helps encapsulate and name what's going on. Even from your description I might look to see if I could use a generator to filter the loop instead of "for" and "if" which should be more clear, fewer indentations, and easier to optimize at runtime. I do find trying to break up long line onto multiple rather annoying because diffs are more difficult to read.

I've never really used whitespace to separate my debug and actual code...which probably speaks more to my background than anything else. I have tended to put a # at the beginning of the line when debugging and next to the comment when commenting. Linters don't seem to care for that, but the code is tidied up before it's committed.
That’s fantastic. My very rough ideas are definitely more along the lines of identification and not vigilanteeism...However I am with you 100% and am pro glitter bomb.
"Dishonesty greases the world."

Dishonesty only greases things in the very short term. Longer term, that grease degrades and gets fouled with all manner of dirt, resulting in damage to the "greased" parts.
Its personal investing so I pull profits to use for myself. And find something else to invest in. I usually keep around 500 invested. Not a lot of money but if I lost it all it wouldn't be the end of the world. It's been over the course of 15 years. Sometimes 10-15 trades in a year. But over a two year period with two trades it was 6800%. I'm not attempting to brag, I'm just saying the professionals are not any better than an ametuer. They are bad at their jobs.
Hi, Blockstack engineer here. Thank you for the feedback. Can you tell me what browser you are using?
$30B seems steep TBH. Consider that launch revenue last year was only $3B worldwide, and that's revenue, not profit. Granted SpaceX owns a good chunk of that, and their margins are the best in the industry, but with another player arriving at the scene soon their dominance could be short lived.

OTOH, if their Starlink effort succeeds (a big "if"), and they capture a fraction of the global $1T internet access market, this $30B could be totally peanuts. But that requires some serious faith on the part of the investor.

Still, though, if I could invest, I would. This is as close to "going to the moon" effort as it gets these days, I'd rather bypass the government money black hole and fund it directly.

I'm sympathetic to the worries of a local population about being exposed to a nuclear disaster. The thought of radiation effecting you, your friends and family is horrifying.

Where I diverge from the article is the opinions of the anti-nuclear activists, where they say "It is time to bring nuclear energy to an end". I realize that nuclear power is scary and that this particular reactor may have a higher than average risk profile. However, where they lose me is the alternative. There, currently, is no viable alternative to nuclear that provides the same safety and econimic benefits, not to mention environmental pros of nuclear.

Simply not liking something is not enough reason to get rid of it. Who knows maybe a new, safer plant would have been built if they were allowed, but the people voted against it. I find this type of reasoning problematic, it has somehow become common (or I'm just realizing its happening) to rally against something without considering the alternatives that would have to replace it.
Thank you for the survey results - these are genuinely fascinating. I acknowledge that you weren't arguing that my view is incorrect, only that it's not a given, and I was debating a point that you weren't making. I buy your argument and agree that most people, if asked, would probably give an answer more closely aligned with moral realism than not. What's the case for moral realism that makes it so compelling?

On a separate note, I take issue with the suggestion that an individual identifying with a major religion qualifies as adherence to its principles. This is nitpicking and doesn't impact the larger point you're making, but I think it's an important distinction in general.
Please don't spread Google propaganda here.
Eh. There's a lot to be said about actually meeting people. When I went out I wasn't looking for a perfect match, I was looking for fun. I eventually married because I kept having fun with the one person. We're polar opposites in personality and to some limited extent in values, but it just works well.

There's also a lot about attraction and compatibility that's not only nonverbal but inarticulable. "Chemistry", goes the analogy. The club environment is stacked in favor of the attractive, but chemistry usually wins the day.

Though it doesn't take that much of an effort to just name your callback function and pass it as an argument. Python functions are first-class "objects" that can be passed around, use them!

I've always found Python lambdas to be uncanny, weird and error prone. It's kinda syntactic sugar for expression-only defs with counterintuitive scope rules. I would recommend just not using them and fall back to named functions. It's just one extra line and that way you get to name it, which is always a nice thing.
I hear alcohol addiction is rampant.

Wikipedia about alcohol consumption in Russia[1]:

> High volumes of alcohol consumption have serious negative effects on Russia's social fabric and bring political, economic and public health ramifications. Alcoholism has been a problem throughout the country's history because drinking is a pervasive, socially acceptable behaviour in Russian society and alcohol has also been a major source of government revenue for centuries. It has repeatedly been targeted as a major national problem, with mixed results. Alcoholism in Russia has according to some authors acquired a character of a national disaster and has the scale of a humanitarian catastrophe.

Wikipedia mentions a study in chapter Impact, Demographic:

> A study by Russian, British and French researchers published in The Lancet scrutinized deaths between 1990 and 2001 of residents of three Siberian industrial towns with typical mortality rates and determined that 52% of deaths of people between the ages of 15 and 54 were the result of alcohol abuse.

Interesting bit of history. Thanks for this article. I'm curious, though, how the fact that Chromium is open-source will change this dynamic, because the ethos of open source seems directly against the idea of Google abusing their control over Chromium.
One note about point (2) dealing with the versions and the languages object oriented features. I noticed the object-oriented support has been tacked on, before Python 2.2 the objects had their own type which was accessed by .__class__. The tacked on nature of the OOP support of the language is perhaps why there are these __identifiers__ which are hard to type using consecutive letters, needing shift to be held down, are still used in the language. Although Python fixed the problem partially, it only did so only by adding new style classes along the old style ones in order to avoid breaking compatibility, which only complicated the issue. Unfortunately, Python 2.7 is still around. As this post mentions, Python 2.7 & 3 are both installed on Linux machines and the default is still Python 2.7 when you type python.
Baidu trained their DeepSpeech model with 6000 hours of English to get a model similarly accurate to Google/Microsoft, it may just be the type of quick model your using that needs 10k hours to achieve good results.

Mozilla's DeepSpeech is quite interesting, languages like Turkish can get a decently usable (~20% WER) model with just 80hrs of training data (no transfer learning, starting from a clean slate).
Yes, my point was more that they're pretty much the same thing. A delegate and an interface with a single method are essentially isomorphic in their behaviour.

The delegate obviously breaks down when you have more than one method. For that interfaces work just fine. Even in the case of using a delegate where you capture variables, the C# compiler creates a new type, instantiates it and passes the method in place of the delegate. It's hardly any different to deriving from an interface.

I just tend to use interfaces more out of habit even for single methods. Creating an object expression in F# is pretty much the same outcome as creating a closure in C#.

EDIT: I guess the other problem is that F# functions are not directly compatible with Func<_> and Action<_> types, so when calling a C# function expecting these, you need to wrap the call in an anonymous function. C# interfaces and F# classes are compatible though.
It could well be.
Sold! As long as you admit that there is a problem and tradeoffs, then I'm fine with where this conversation is ending.

A Toaster on Wheels to Deliver Groceries? Self-Driving Tech Tests Practical Uses
The discussion seems to be mostly driven by people who are used to a very specific syntax and can't understand why it wouldn't work for a real implementation for private. Nothing will stop these people from keeping their use of "private as documentation only" while others will get their proper implementation of private state that isn't as fragile as the one offered by TypeScript. That last part isn't a dig at TypeScript - it's just that at the time it was the best TS could possibly offer.

I expect that TypeScript will adopt this proposal given that some of the people working on and defending the proposal seem to be part of the TypeScript team.

> Refactoring and index-access notation become awkward with it.

Given that other languages have similar solutions and this actually has more information in the source file, I assume that refactoring will become quicker and index-access will just move to private maps. Adding arbitrary fields at runtime and dynamic access to private fields are both tools with limited value compared to the potential for introducing subtle bugs.

No, not likely Netflix. But there's lots of small-scale YouTube stuff. And video messaging.

Edit: So let's say that you enjoy porn. But all the ISPs are blocking it. And let's say that there was a system where you could get what you wanted, in exchange for routing other stuff. Like some mix of Tor, I2P and Freenet, except as covert content in innocuous HD video.

I really need your help. If you have the time, I would like some advice on how to edit my resume. Thanks!

My first position was for a company who sold goods as an ecommerce vendor. We had a small shop and found myself working between 41-42 hours a week. This did not include on-call time where I was expected to answer any problems that arose with the site. On-call time was usually minimal but when it happened, it happened at some odd times during the night.

After we were down to 4 people (we lost 2), I was routinely working 43-47 hours a week

So the author makes a concerted attempt at spinning his enjoyment of using Google services as something negative, but based on his assertions I'm not really seeing it. From Gmail to Google Drive to YouTube to Google Translate to Google Maps to etcetera etcetera, every single one of these things provides immense benefits to people's lives and improves the world with some ads being the only cost.

Honestly, I think people take it a little too much for granted sometimes. I'm not trying to call anyone out here, but just try to think about it a bit more. No one owes anyone anything, and especially not to corporations, as to be clear, Google is very much a mutual beneficiary in this relationship. They make massive amounts of money, unimaginable sums, with profit margins that will make your eyes bulge. So don't feel any obligation whatsoever.

Instead, what I think the point is that it can be extremely valuable to be able to take a step back and to try with an unbiased eye, to look critically at the business relationships you make with the various corporations that exist in your life. Keeping in mind that none of them care about you as person, your privacy, or anything at all really except for the dollar number they can extract from you (specifically calling out Apple on this), how do things weigh out?

The prototype concept is little more than an annoying implementation detail for vendors to worry about. No use of it other than the `class` pattern ever saw any adoption. It causes more confusion every day than it provided distinct value in the last decade.

With any luck we'll have so completely abstracted over it by ES12 that it won't even need to be mentioned in the spec.

You mean like when we crowdsourced the identity of the Boston Marathon bomber?

Because it's all well and good when the crowd gets it right and the lynch mob goes to town on the bad guy. But the issue is when that mob gets turned on the wrong guy. The internet has a long memory and seldom admits when it is wrong. "Bob Jerry is the Boston Marathon bomber" sticks around much longer than "Whoops, our bad, Bob Jerry is just some dude"
Why is plastic pyrolysis not being employed to recycle on a massive scale? Seems all that is needed is to site them near oil refineries, and you have a clean, self-powering means of recycling plastic into oil/fuel.
When I read something like this I really wish the people who use all their smarts for selling more ads to sell more crap would instead work on figuring out trash separation and recycling. It's a very interesting problem: Recognizing different items, handle it, and recycle it. It has it all: AI, computer vision, robotics. It would make the world a much better place.

One more for the list, and my all-time most hated Python annoyance: No equivalent of Perl's "use strict vars". In other words...

blah = 1
if foo:
balh = 2
print blah

...doesn't let me know I've made a typo the way the equivalent Perl would:

my $blah = 1;
if ($foo)
$balh = 2;
print $blah;

Which outputs the following even without "use strict vars":

Name "main::balh" used only once: possible typo

And if you turn that on (like all Perl programmers have, in all their programs, for decades):
