I blame case windows for this. The last desktop I built, it was a chore finding a case that didn't look stupid, and I eventually gave up on a normal motherboard, as anything with a z170 chip set looked like it belonged in a transformers toy.

And while people definitely geek out over servers, it's nearly all about specs. After all, why make something that gets hidden away in a rack in a DC look pretty?

I suspect that is one reason Apple isn't using green mask, since the connotation for many people is 'cheap'
Especially compile speed, and especially if the program is composed of libraries that don’t all need to be compiled every time.

There is something super nice about editing JS and being able to see the change immediately, but I’d still trade that off for some type safety in a “compile to JS” language that wastes a second of my time per compile.

The other point about compile speed is it doesn’t affect the end user (if we are talking about source code compilation not JIT)
"Programmers" make some of these decisions, "Management" make some of these decisions. Professional programmers generally don't get to pick what tools they use 100% of the time, but they do get to decide some of the time.

My recollection is that it was mostly for brightness. I think the amber phosphor had shorter persistence and was less prone to burn-in as well. But yeah, kinda harsh on the eyes in comparison.
Comparing Calibre favorably to VSCode and Slack highlights how different perhaps audiences are: while I love what Calibre does, I really dislike its interface and vastly prefer VSCode and Slack.
Interview is over as soon as I find you pretending you know something you don't. Do you really think you're going to trick me when I have literally decades of programming experience? The person hiring you will often be your mentor. Start out on the right foot by trusting them and showing them you can be trusted.
Oh my God, they pretended everybody has a 100 Mbps NIC and capped at that speed. That's completely retarded.

At least I'm going to give them credit for disclosing what the problem was. I would've be too ashamed to admit it.
I understand that no one is criticizing reason, I just wanted to understand what alternatives were being proposed.
Looks good! I haven't seen many variable fonts around yet. The samples include mock notebooks and poster layouts, but I'd love to see examples of it being used in an actual interface. (Outside of the site, which uses it.)

No one is getting rich off DACs, except for the makers of outrageously overpriced 4- or even 5-figure retail price units. After all, DACs are commodity hardware, boutique devices serve primarily serve as audio jewelry, with no technical benefit.

The DAC I use cost less than $30, yet performs well beyond the limits of human hearing. The DriveRack did have an MSRP around $300 when it was new, but usually $200 on sale, but it does do a whole lot more than a DAC, and the base price level for pro gear is somewhat higher than for consumer gear.

As I said, people focus way too much on electronics, when even basic devices are more than good enough. I don't even have to use the DAC anymore, after I switched to DisplayPort for my monitor, which has a perfectly good analog stereo output. The only reason I keep the Toslink DAC hooked up is pure laziness.
You know any alternative to Picasa? Especially in regards to face recognition? Google Photos is objectively shit, as you need to upload all photos for that.

Anytime we talk about "banning" something I prefer a very conservative approach (conservative as in let's not ban things unless we are really sure). We are constantly learning new things that upend what we used to accept as science regarding nutrition and how the human body works. I think we do ourselves a disservice sometimes by banning things that we don't understand (and sometimes we think we understand but really don't).

That said, there is something wrong with our food. We have had an explosion in auto-immune disorders over the last few decades that is accelerating. Allergies to common foods are increasing rapidly as well. An allergist that I see has recently starting adding citrus tests to her test panel, because citrus is suddenly (and for unknown reasons) becoming a big problem. I don't know what's wrong, but I do hope we figure it out.
Well it could be worse. Ever look at the label on a food product imported from China? For instance, dried noodles or Old Lady sauce?

dxx-rebirth is awesome. But we need a discord channel or something to get organized.
As far as I know, lightning connectors (as opposed to their 30 pin predecessors) carry no analog signals, so the DAC necessarily has to reside in the headphone adapter.
And of course some foods are banned in the US but not Europe.
How is it a disservice?
If by "host" you mean the client rather than the server, and if I understand correctly, the problem I anticipate would be that the API doesn't allow you to use that cached metadata, even if the client has already received it, because there's no guarantee that when you query a file inside some folder, it'll be the same as it was when you enumerated that folder, so I'd assume you can't eliminate the round trip without changing the API. Not sure if I've understood the scenario correctly but that seems to be the issue to me.
Probably not. While that rule is becoming dated, it's general form: not leaving hot pages out and exposed, still makes great sense. And there's no reason to rescind the rules, unless they really do become invalidated. It would just be amendments to an already existing and robust practice.

And frankly, there still are places where a phone book is still in use.

As a European I'm interested in knowing what most Americans thinks about this (their food has additives that is forbidden in Europe).
Is there a feeling of Europeans being too cautious or would you like to have the same rules?
It's a pretty classic client/server setup (not too different from modern web apps, actually). The C code is the server and the C# code (which is actually a plugin to another application written in C#) is the client. The C server can run independently of the C# clients but isn't very useful (to our customers at least) by itself.

Most of the C# code's responsibility is taking user commands from the plugin's host application and converting them to messages sent to the C server for further processing, which isn't very speed/latency sensitive most of the time since it only has to operate at user-perceivable timescales and on small amounts of data. The remainder of the C# code is some custom UI controls and dialogs.

The network communications (if you squint hard enough) somewhat resembles REST with custom binary protocols instead of HTTP and JSON; if REST were in style when this code was first written (around 10 years ago) it almost certainly would have been used for the network/message layer instead.
Fantasy sports, email, and news.
Everything that is running keeps using the old libraries. The directory entries for the shared libraries or executables are removed but as long as a task holds a live file descriptor the actual shared library or executable is not deleted from the disk. New processes will have the dynamic linker read the new binaries for the updated libraries. Unless the ABI or API somehow changes during the update (and they don't, big updates usually bump the library version) things work pretty fine.
To be a true engineer, one should use technology to solve problems. PMs are suppose to help with that, but to be called an engineer, one should have that mindset. Otherwise, we're just code-monkeys.
Why is it a disservice to demand we are sure something won't harm us before we build and industry around it?

Can you name any specific items that you feel it was a disservice to ban, and say why?

> I started off using it for Git but now I just use Git bash in Poweshell (which also annoys me with its slowness).

This may not be a WSL issue. You don't want to mix Windows git (what you're calling git-bash) with Linux git (or MSYS2 git). Even a git status will cause them to trample on each other in ways I don't yet fully understand, and that will also slow them down very significantly as one tries to process a repo the other one has previously accessed. Pick one and stick with it for any given repo.
Do you have any examples? (Genuinely interested)
This font (under default metrics settings) reminds me of Apple’s San Francisco. Is it similar, or are my eyes just deceiving me? (I’d check myself, but I’m on my phone at the moment.)

How do you know that it is food related in itself? It is a common area of anxiety but I don't think much has stood up to statistical scrutiny - otherwise they'd start to see far more significant differences from differing lifestyles and diets.

There are many possible culprits from gut bacteria to hygiene hypothesis of an overactive immune system going after anything that remotely looks the part due to having evolved in filthier environments and being evolutionary "calibrated" to be overactive by default because parasites immunosuppress.

You're taking that line out of context and rephrasing it.

"That said, the overall trend is hard to miss: Luxury isn’t connoted with fussy extras; no-nonsense boldness is the rule. “Spartan solutions have been rampant in all areas of design,” Gardner says."

In other words, the current trend is to use no-nonsense boldness to connote luxury. It is explicitly described as a trend. Fashions change, and the article doesn't deny that or claim to explain why. It might have something to do with increasing typographical literacy among the public, or with the popularity of authentic, no-frills, "vintage industrial" design.
Since the article doesn’t directly give an answer, I’ll assert that it’s a result of the proliferation of screens and what younger generations are used to seeing. When selecting a typeface to modify for a brand, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to not feel comic-sans type objections to anything with a little character.

I predict the future of branding will be comprised mainly of symbols (logos). Names will all be in a similar, device friendly, typeface as we see here.
The US was researching comparable systems (and smaller) back in the mid 2000s. I knew a few people involved in those programs and seriously considered joining. Things went very quiet on that front, I've heard no news on those programs in years. I don't know if that means they continued behind closed doors or were put on indefinite pause.

This is the best article I could find on the subject which gives some background as to what derailed the program. http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/articles/what-killed-...

That’s a hoax. China does not have a problem with fake eggs made from plastic. Chicken and eggs are a staple of Chinese diet, and both incredibly cheap and plentiful throughout the country.
VSCode grew out of a project to make a browser-based IDE. So, when they decided to make a desktop-like user experience instead, Electron was the natural choice, as a way to make it a port rather than a complete rewrite.

You could argue that it's a similar story for things like Slack - for business reasons, they more-or-less needed to have a web-based UI. If you're already committed to that, then it makes sense to use Electron in order to maximize your code reuse.

I can't speak to Discord or Atom. Those ones make less sense to me, but there might be a reason there, too.

Speaking completely personally, Qt has never felt like a viable option for a commercial project to me. It does have some bindings for other languages, but, at least last I checked, they're all community supported. When you're talking about language binding libraries, it's reasonable to think of "community" as a polite way of saying "poorly". That can quite justifiably influence a person's willingness to rely on them for non-hobby projects.

I don't like JavaScript much better than I like C++, but at least I can more easily think of business cases for why I might accept being locked into JavaScript. The ones up above, for example.
In this context it helps if Lenny is confused with Lemmy. Lemmy was a rock and roll legend who was into that lifestyle primarily because he liked sleeping with female groupies. There are many people out there wondering if Lemmy was their father. Sadly Lemmy has passed away, however, if I was a telemarketeer then I would spend a lot longer on the phone with Lemmy, learning of his exploits, than I would with Lenny who seems a nice enough chap but rather dull in comparison to Lemmy.

I hope this has helped answer your question.

Thank you for this, it's fascinating. Anecdotally, I worked for a company that was very well funded but completely adrift last year. Morale was at an all time low, despite generous benefits, free breakfast, and frequent company parties. There was political infighting and frequent departures, not unlike the decline of the mouse culture. I always argued that the morale boosting exercises only highlighted our total lack of purpose; interesting to see it in experiment form.
Thanks for the suggestion. The disk is a dynamic VHDX, migrated it to fixed vhdx and will experiment.
From article:

Our team created email addresses with different email providers and signed up for the email lists of around fifty different candidates, committees, and political nonprofits. In the month leading up to the election, we tracked how many emails were sent from each entity, and what percentage of those emails made it into our inbox.

In Nevada, Democrat Jacky Rosen averaged over 90% placement in inboxes, compared to Dean Heller’s over 90% placement in spam.

In Florida, 100% of Republican Rick Scott’s emails went to spam in Yahoo, while 100% of Bill Nelson’s emails went to our Yahoo inbox.

While these were the most dramatic examples, this pattern emerged in every toss-up Senate race we tracked.

IT'S A health hazard.
So, none of the things banned or severely restricted by the EU are actually proven to be harmful.

I'm not sure if I prefer the more liberal approach by the US or the more conservative one by the EU. In general I'm in favor of only banning things when they're proven to cause harm, so innovation is not stifled because of some nonsense hysteria.

Since this is concerning my health though, I'm really unsure.
Did you try a chargeback?
Kinder chocolate eggs, because they have toys that are surrounded by food. The toy is at risk of being eaten.
It is ‘similar’ in every way.
Of course I know who Lemmy is! :the horns:
I'm also really impressed with language server adoption. It's really quite revolutionary. No longer does any editor/ide implementation have to roll their own parsers for every supported language. I was doing program static analysis 10-15 years ago and this was always a major obstacle.
You stat() all the files, they look empty, so you delete them... but in between, another process writes to some file (or maybe the user forgets the file is being deleted and saves to something there), and suddenly you've deleted data you didn't expect

This is fundamentally not any different between the systems, race conditions can happen either way. The user could write data to file right before the deletion recurses to the same directory and the handle-based deletion happens. Similarly the newly written data would be wiped out unintentionally.

For files for which access from different processes must be controlled explicitly there is locking. No filesystem or VFS is going to protect you from accidentally deleting stuff you're still using in another context.
I got the license at 35, with kids having a car around often saves a lot of trouble. But we still only use it twice a week or so.

Completely agree

> If you aren't sure, then I don't think I get the logic on the default being "okay, feed it to your kids!".

False dichotomy. I don't think the choices are either "ban it" or "okay, feed it to your kids!" There's a middle ground there that I think makes more sense.

Many of these food tech choices are the difference between more starvation and high enough yield to feed poor people. If we farmed the way we did 100 years ago, there would be mass starvation. The yield just isn’t there.

The FDA faces the same ethical dilemma every time they decide on new drugs. A slow approval process is literally letting people suffer and die in exchange for trials with more certainty.

The old FDA food guidelines that shape what schools are allowed to feed children are a perfect example of the stupidity of legislating based on poorly understood food science. “Carbs are good, fats are bad!”

Low sodium guidelines because “salt kills people!” also turned out to be pretty stupid in retrospect.
The ones with the toys in then are in my understanding.
I would love to if the US had the same food quality laws that European countries have. By HN standards, I'm a right wing nutcase and am in favor of as small a government as we can stand, but our food is killing us.

Bread has sugar in it. If you want bread without sugar in it, you must either pay more for the organic stuff or make it yourself. If you want bread without any additives or preservatives at all, you must buy your wheat from outside the country. Wheat in the US is fortified with iron and vitamin B by law.
Raw milk cheese is not banned in the US, in fact it has a specific exemption in the federal law regarding unpasteurized milk. Further, those laws only apply to transportation across states, so you can legally buy raw milk within most (all?) states.
It's impossible to prove that a food item is safe. The two categories are known to be bad and not know to be bad.
Some flex circuits are black because they use a conductive coating to create ground planes without increasing the stiffness as much as another set of copper/adhesive/coverlay layers.

As someone who also learned music and played several instruments (violin, piano) before getting into computing I still don't get what's the point of comparing musical memory to being able to recall programming language rules. Programming is largely about managing complexity and our mammal brains are not very good at keeping track of all the exceptions and special cases a language like C++ is full of (as opposed to remembering music).
Just to be clear: Yes, writing music, especially for an orchestra, IS hard and complex.
