How I Made $1000 in ONE DAY
Damn, that's pretty ridiculous. Teachers have it a lot better in Canada from what I gather. At least in my area.
I play PUBG Mobile, so slightly different to PUBG on Desktop. It is free, and it is fun. And it is one of those rare games you can finish the match in 5 - 10 min times when you are in Arcade Mode. There is no grind, no VIP system, No Pay to win. I actually brought a few items in App because I thought I was enjoying it so much and not paying for it.

I hope Fortnite and PUBG will finally wake Apple up, I mean even Phill Schiller is playing Fortnite [1]. Gaming is driving the PC sales, Mac needs to take notes.

Yes, once you are used to that kind of space, it’s hard to go back. Hedonistic treadmill and all (or some kind of treadmill). People in the 60s had larger families with smaller houses. However, to fulfill our expectations of progress, House sizes in America keep growing decade after decade.

I’m fully guilty of this myself too. But like all things it cannot keep growing indefinitely.

Oh no, work if you want, but don't think your employment will be secure until you're ready to retire.

Make sure you live a life and have a plan so that when you get fired, or when your retirement plan collapses, or when they raise the retirement age, or any one of 500 other very likely outcomes occur you can still live a good life.
I was a slow runner in high school, and in gym class a friend of mine had a habit of lapping me not only to finish the class but then looping around to keep me encouraged to finish my own lap. He did not care about his own grade, but I asked about extra credit for him because he wasn't just running his own mile, but more like a mile and a half to encourage me.

The teacher refused my request to give him extra credit, saying my physical fitness was not his responsibility so he deserved no credit for my sake. Not saying that was right or wrong, just backing up your statement of "my high school and university had no such thing" as extra credit.

Sometimes doing exactly what's required is the most you're going to get credit for.
How to Improve UX with Bootstrap 4.2
It's almost as if there's a middle ground to be had somewhere.

There are definitely things which can perceptually detract from audio which people just don't think about.

I'm about to buy a couple power conditioners for my electronics because the wiring in my new apartment is garbage and every little spike in voltage comes through as a loud pop in my speakers and headphones.

But more subtly, my audio is constantly being degraded because I have a few cheap dimmers which cause a constant interference pattern in my electrical circuit that weren't a problem in my last apartments, and I can even hear fluctuations caused by my refrigerator if I listen closely.

And all of these things which can subtly degrade audio are 100x more of an issue when you're recording audio. Run any given song through a spectrogram analyzer and you'll usually see a horizontal line or two which could be anything from a little cable noise to a CRT screen.

In our university they had locked down the windows to not allow us to install anything... A friend had a linux boot disk that would remove the windows admin password. And we had AoE on our the last bench computers! Counter Strike on the second last bench! The admin realized the password was gone, and he reset the system a month later, and the process repeated! Oh so much fun!
The process of stratification is not driven by inherent complexity. You're absolutely right in that we still have, and will always have, hard problems to solve in software.

What I'm referring to is the fact that businesses do not have to solve all of these problems. And businesses are what ultimately drive the field. Think of all the other really complicated fields out there. Music, law, medicine. Still hard problems to solve in all of them.

Let's take music as the example at hand. We'll never reach the end of what's possible to accomplish with music. Yet there is an entire industry around it that commodifies musical services. You can spend an entire career focused on something exceedingly arcane like mid-sized arena acoustical materials.

We haven't gotten that way yet with information technology, not because we can't get there, but because the field is still so very very young. Music has been an industry for thousands of years. The modern arena builds on technologies developed for theatre in ancient Greece.

You're right, each advance makes for new problems to solve. But unless you can make a credible claim that this time it's different, the field we inhabit and make a good living exploiting will move the same way every single other engineering field throughout history has always moved.

Then don't drop the transactions pertaining sending money. They are not necessarily treated the same way as messages in the backend.
Adding liquidity by printing money prevents things like the great depression. If we were still on a gold note system when the 2008 crash happened we would have been completely and utterly fucked. No liquidity, no debt, no commerce. You see, that's the thing about you libertarians and bitcoin quacks, you can't see beyond your own wallet. Debt is not just about your car loan, your credit card and your mortgage. Its mostly about financial instruments like bonds, and equity, and foreign exchange options. You seem to equate in your brain that because common folks have car loans, and credit cards and mortgages that debt, when refereed to in fiat currencies, is some sort of theft or wage slavery. But the truth is that you are just ignorant of how a fucking global economy works. You can't print more gold, so when the market crashed there was a liquidity crisis during the great depression. Likewise commodities such as bitcoin are susceptible to large sell offs because they fundamentally lack liquidity. Thus the current dilemma of the cointards and the bitcoin market crash. Even at $4k its still overvalued.

Not as agonizingly slow, but still agonizingly slow.

While I do appreciate build speed improvements, saying that it's better than it was isn't a super high bar in terms of user experience.

I love Rust, I really do, but it's still incredibly slow. I'm excited for any progress it makes on this front.

That’s not the proper comparison. The difference is that payments sent through Messenger aren’t critical (think paying your friend for lunch), whereas for most financial transactions (eg trades of stocks, derivatives, swaps etc) it’s absolutely critical that they execute immediately.
Dan previously used C#, so he knows what static types are. He just said he hasn't used _TypeScript_ specifically.

Redux is a simple library that you can read through in a few minutes. It's working great for hundreds of thousands of users. Why would Dan's background scare you off from using it?

As for React, there's more than just Dan on the React team. (In particular, Seb Markbage is an incredibly deep thinker, and the rest of the team is great too).
Why not just tag the titles with [Paywall] so users can avoid them? Granted, they tend to be from the same sites, but it would be one less thing to remember.
Tesla's marketing team wants people buying cars to believe their Tesla will support Level 5 automation sometime within the usable lifespan of that car. They're not bold enough to claim it's a near future inevitability, but they're leaving that implied possibility open to get consumers excited about it.

Google/Waymo has obviously been throwing a ton of resources at nailing computer vision, their recaptcha that's plainly training such a system is doubtlessly just the publicly visible tip of an iceberg. Yet they're still investing into LIDAR as well. If Google/Waymo is bearish on a pure CV solution, I don't see any justification for Tesla thinking they can do it. Not in any near future.

As a college prof, I divide assignments into formative and summative. Some assignments are to help you learn, and you can try again, improve your work, etc. Some are designed to measure what you know at a given point in time -- and the timing matters.

Giving students the chance to learn is important. Expecting them to actually master some skills within a given timeframe is also important. I have a relative in a European system in which changes have been made to allow students to take tests on a class for the next two years. The students are not better off -- it sounds miserable for all.

There are indeed many examples of both Government and private industry succeeding and failing. Perhaps the differentiator is bureaucratic interference, which private industry is somewhat less prone to, but by no means immune from. Government, meanwhile, tends to create over-bureaucratized organizations, but can sometimes under some conditions create highly efficient organizations in some places.

Perhaps it's a good thing that we still have plenty of diversity in organization so that we can try all possible options for how to do something. New, small, and inexperienced companies, large and highly organized companies, and government departments large and small can all try their hand at creating new things.
I will admit I am a terrible programmer, but I will say using Redux scared me away from using React at first.

Maybe my React needs are minimal, but I tried following a tutorial using React and Redux and I was immensely confused. Once I struck out on my own and ditched Redux for just straight React, everything became so much clearer and simpler.

One of the best thing about Fortnite is EPIC porting back all the work and improvement to Unreal Engine, if any of those Unreal Engine Release note improvement seems crazy, since Fortnite it has been insane. And there are still many more to come.

At this stage Makes me wonder if Unreal Engine will ever get a major competitor for AAA games. Even Konami are ditching the Fox engine and moving to Unreal.

Iran has a glorious past, but, by the end of the 19th century it was unbelievably backwards, specially when compared to an encroaching Europe. For instance, there were no roads at all. All transport was by camels and mules, still a land of caravansarais. There was no police, in fact, there was no state as we understand it; all the shah did was stay all day in the haram. The only institution that cared at all for the people was the clergy. The old dynasty collapsed in early 20th century, and the new shah, Reza, tried to emulate his model Ataturk and modernize the country in the western fashion. Basically, what they attempted was what the Illustration monarchs did in Europe in the 18th century. He and his son went a long way in doing this, but also clashed badly with the mullahs. The clash with the West and modernity was brutal, and it's consequences can be seen all the way to our days.
Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer. Anything specific that confused you? Which tutorials were you looking at?

We're currently planning a revamp of the Redux docs. I'd really appreciate any feedback on what things caused problems, so we can know how to make the docs better.

Feel free to comment here, or ping me on Twitter or in the Reactiflux chat channels. I've also got a survey open asking for suggestions on docs structuring: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzIkY3fXZ8PrQKScYM...

Also, fwiw, you may be interested in my suggested resources for learning Redux:

I've said it several times...but counterfeit items on Amazon is a big big problem. I've gotten counterfeit goods there in the past and just today I almost bought 2 items; saw Amazon had the cheapest price...then I looked at the reviews. It was very clear people were getting counterfeit goods, some with the UPC I was going to buy actually catching fire (I've had several of this brand and I find this difficult to believe happening a couple of times in the same review thread.) So anyhow, I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow to buy both the things I was going to buy. Amazon is slowly losing my business.

"and I already forgot most of C#"

It scares me off for the same reason that hundreds of thousands of people use dynamic languages, and I still believe that this is far from being a good idea.

The same way that hundreds of millions of people believe in god, and I still think this is absurd.
Billionaires are billionaires. They're an elite group, and by definition most people won't be billionaires. But you can be a millionaire after attending a state university, and for most people being a millionaire is a goal worth achieving.

I personally don't think it's worth encouraging people to try to be billionaires. If you do, most of them will end up highly disappointed. It's more worthwhile to encourage people to be the best they can be, the majority of which will fall vastly short of a billion dollars. That's okay.

I am Belgian and I lived in the US for about 8 years.

Taking everything into account, taxes are not that much lower in the US (ignoring sales tax or VAT).

While I was working for a multinational, I enjoyed excellent health insurance (including dental). Still, filling a cavity in Belgium without insurance was cheaper than in the US with insurance.

But if you don't create the assignment, then it doesn't show up in the calendar, and if it doesn't show up in the calendar (even if it's in 28-point bold font with a date next to it on the main page) then students claim they didn't know there was an assignment due!

One can create 'fake' assignment-like pages with the assignment details and then enter an event into the calendar that's not linked to the assignment-info-that's-not-the-assignment-so-it-won't-show-in-the-gradebook, but then you can't have the rubric for grading built onto it because only assignments can have the grading built in, and then you need to turn the assignment itself on at some point and make sure students know to submit there since it'll be a different link than the assignment-thats-not-an-assignment so you'll still have blank grades until the thing's graded, because you can't submit files through not-an-assignment pages.

I've tried this and several other iterations.

I found the concept of affinity used for bunching messages to be a new concept. The other concepts are not surprising, they are the typical engineering solutions used.

One thing I am curious about: how does it compare to how the old postal systems used to handle Christmas and new year loads?

On a lighter note: perhaps you can predictively generate and cache messages at the receiver's end based on their contacts and their style of communication. When a sender actually sends a message, just send one bit across, and the local cache gets flushed and displayed :)
When I read that I always assumed that was a fee that went to the 911 call centers to fund them (paying the people who answered the phones, renting the land they're based out of, etc). Does the entire fee go directly to the phone company?

> I think that's a wrong and outdated view on strong type systems.

I wasn't really talking about type systems specifically, I was thinking along the lines of the Rust borrow checker here, and lower level programming like assembly and C.

> A good type system is also an ergonomic one. What people start to experience is that the compiler is actually a friend that helps you write code and keep yourself true to your own promises.

I see a lot of people make the mistake that type safe code is bug free code. "It compiles, therefore ship it."

> It doesn't come down to trust, it comes down to the realization that your mind can keep track of less information than a computer, and that you, as a programmer, are forgetful and make mistakes. The compiler is there to help you when you stumble over your own feet.

You trust the compiler to find bugs. Awesome. Luck be to you. I trust unit tests more than the compiler. Mostly because I wrote them. The compiler, I didn't.

So, actually, servos with >1 million counts per rev are not that uncommon. They are now standard.

Example: the mr-j4's on my CNC machine have 22 bit encoders (4 million counts per rev) and are 4+ years old at this point.

These are fairly standard equipment, and not that expensive as servos go (300 a motor, 300 a servo drive, in bulk).

It will happily position repeatedly at to any of those counts, and it's repeatable to better than 5 microns (i am only using equipment good to about 5 microns because that's what i need. I have no urge to go set up the laser interferometer to measure this better, but i have no doubt it is repeatable to better)

Yasakawa's sigma7 series are 24 bit encoders (so 16 million count per rev).

Basically current generation servos are easily in the millions per rev count.

(and since the robot are in turn made from these servos, ...)
To be fair to haddington: this is a pretty wild leap from the last generation of servos in most cases.

For comparison, the melservo-j3 was only an 18 bit encoder (262,114 count per rev), and the yasakawa sigma 5's were 20 bit (1 million count per rev)

So each got better by a factor of 16 in the newest generation
I believe that the iOS app started preventing these recently; I noticed that all of my Messenger notifications stopped including the text of the message, instead just stating "<name> sent a message." (or something of the like), forcing you to actually open the app.

> How is nuclear being expensive political?

Super-expensive safety regulations are often based on the linear no-threshold model of biological dose response. There is more and more data showing that this is illogical at very low doses. Changing that is highly political.

The large 3-shift security staff at nuclear power plants is based on political concerns.

The contractor and financing models in play in the US to build nukes causes lots of misalignment, and contracts end up suing each other over trivialities rather than building the plant like the Koreans do or French did (in the 1970s). That's nearly political.

Anti-nuclear intervenors watch over plant plans and try to delay at all costs. Totally political.
