I personally think that the JavaScript community is doing a great job with its tooling and approach. Compared to other language environments I’ve worked with (C, C++, Python), most common JS tools work in predictable, user-friendly ways...also they frequently have good documentation and “getting started” tutorials.

It is good to see that the community is open to introspecting and improving even further
Nobody said anything about what Steve should have been doing. Given that money is the core issue in his post and he's mentioned sweet SV dollars in this thread, it doesn't hurt to note the prevailing attitude these days which (largely) favors engineering and 'show me the code'. Good engineers have tremendous leverage and can command extremely good salaries. Evangelizers not really and as I said they _are_ often looked down upon by engineers.

Looking at Steve's 177 'source' repositories @ Github and disregarding documentation and presentations, there is absolutely nothing that can be described as substantial engineering. Throwaway code, small sample projects and tiny tutorials and more often than not, skeletons and incomplete beginnings. Yes the Rust book is excellent but at the end of the day, nobody who is in the position to give out SV $$ really cares. Had Steve spent his years using Rust to solve hard problems, he'd have recruiters banging on his door 24/7 but the fact is that documentation and hype on HN and reddit is not a good recipe for a solid career.

I don't know Steve personally and I have no dog in the Rust race, merely expressing what I have personally experienced working in SV for over a decade.
Hardly. It is closer to Intel U series processors which are much slower than their desktop counterparts both in peak performance (desktops clock higher) and in sustained performance (desktops dissipate heat better). It is additionally slower in mult-core workloads where desktops have access to 30+ cores (none of them "little") and over 20x as much RAM (without even considering multi-socket systems with up to 3 orders of magnitude more RAM).

Most people don't need the extra power a desktop offers, but the performance advantage over mobile systems is enormous.
Oh right I see it now. Thanks.
Plausible, or maybe more people will try things privately and when they get some interesting results they'll turn it public. I know I had a little amount of shame in not throwing lots of stuff publicly..

Could you provide evidence for your "evidence"? That is, I realize that The Guardian claims that they saw a list showing "Paul Manaford" as a guest to the embassy, but I haven't seen outside evidence that this list exists and is accurate. And I've seen others claiming that Manafort's name (misspelled or not) was not on the previously released guest lists: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/11/assange-neve...

I currently trust The Intercept more than I trust most other news sources, and if your two points are true, then I clearly am trusting them too much. If you have have evidence that would move this beyond a "he said, she said" level (with the Guardian claiming one thing and The Intercept saying the claims are false), please point to it so I can update my beliefs. Currently it feels more like you are simply asserting that we should trust one source over another.
I can add another anecdote in favor of this happening.

Tried it ~6 months ago with an old GTX 680 (had to update the video bios to get it to pass through to the VM, then got code 43), and about 1 year ago on a laptop with a GTX 1050m (detected by the VM, but code 43).

Had I known ahead of time that this would happen, I would not have bought the 680 or this laptop.
I don't think that's what stefan_ wanted to say. I think it's rather that RISC-V isn't effective enough (yet) to be suitable for scenarios where the main thing you optimize for is something other than cost (like heat dissipation, power use, performance, etc). For scenarios where these things don't matter, but cost is very important, RISC-V is the ideal choice.
There's nothing wrong with handwritten scripts. The lack of problems are exactly why the current dev workflow has scaled and I'm saying this as of 2019, which I find interesting!

The problem is opportunity cost. The rest of the tools in the market (Webpack, Rollup) are offering heavier benefits like automatic code splitting, dead code elimination and such things.
For better or worse, having a Github profile is now a thing that’s expected of developers, so public repos are here to stay.

Personally speaking, I’ll still default to public for my side projects. But a free private repo sounds like exactly the thing for online classes or web challenges where you’re explicitely asked not to share your code. I’ve just started on the cryptopals challenges, now I know where to put my code :D

Ever time yourself? I'm not doubting your estimate, but I wonder how close your are. Out of idle curiosity (and for more purposeful reasons), I've timed myself on the motorcycle. Pay-at-the-pump, and don't get off the bike, and I'm out of there like a LeMans pit stop. But getting off, hitting the restroom, and grabbing/paying for drink took longer than I would have guessed.

And as sibling comment points out, it all goes out the window if you have passengers.
Ah gotcha. Now that I've re-read it it looks misleading as well hah. Too bad I can't edit titles :/

I believe solving level 5 self-driving is equivalent to solving AGI -- i.e. it's "AI-complete".

In that case, there will be a lot of other things to be excited about besides self-driving -- it will basically be the equivalent of aliens landing on Earth.

Also, while I agree "ever" is a long time, "a matter of time" doesn't tell me very much. That is, wouldn't surprise me if it were 100+ years away, in which case there other things we should be talking about instead.
> It's also much better for the platform that there isn't such a wide range between screen sizes.

Not a wide range? What about the iPad and iPad Pro? iOS apps need a responsive interface anyway.
>Maybe a full power cartridge with a smaller/lighter bullet would be just as deadly as an intermediate cartridge with a heavier bullet.

You are basically describing this[1][2][3] and it's not really that great at anything in particular (especially not military use) and are primarily used by people who want to shoot a trophy buck that's 400yd away. IMO they're kind of the hipster beer of the rifle world. They do little a boring old Bud won't do but they sure put a bigger hole in your wallet.

Read up on the history of intermediate cartridges[4] and assault rifles (not "assault weapons", the former is a technical term, the latter is anything but). Earlier intermediate cartridges (were a standard size .30-ish cal bullet on top of a 30-40mm case instead of a 50-70mm case of a traditional full power rifle round. Later intermediate cartridges such as 5.56x45 and 5.45x39 (the Russians stuck a smaller bullet on top of the 7.62x39 cartridge) stick an even smaller bullet on top of an intermediate size case because the smaller bullet going faster does the job just as well with less weight (I'm painting with a really broad brush here). These 2nd gen intermediate cartridges are what I think you're getting at but you're hung up on the rifle cartridge. For simply killing people 0-350yd away you don't need that much bang, it's actually detrimental because it's extra weight and makes the firearm harder to handle.

You also need thinking in terms of energy. All the energy in the world is useless if you can't transfer it to the target properly. It doesn't take much energy dissipated in a human torso to immediately incapacitate and kill. Better understanding of the needs of combat troops and nature of engagements and terminal ballistics is what led to the switch from intermediate cartridges starting in the 1940s.

Of course you have to remember that everything is still a trade-off in cartridge design and the nature of the engagements you expect still plays a large role in what the "best" tool for the job is and often the difference is only marginal at best.

Bad advice. You shouldn't pick a startup solely based off these criteria. You are a very minor investor that is the last to get paid. Investors can accept far more risk and reward, and care very little for things like whether the employees are happy.

Does the work look interesting? Will you learn new things?

Do you like the problem space the startup operates in?

How is the culture? Fit or not?

Will you be happy there?

Ok, I guess I'm thinking of the "thin" family of laptops with molded flat packs. Or maybe those have standard flat cells, just not the 18650.

But in any case, technically even the Tesla just uses hordes of 18650. But that doesn't make it any easier to remove the pack itself.

One thing I have found useful but difficult to do in both markdown and AsciiDoc: I have a block of code, and I want to highlight, say, a variable name by making it italic or bold. Or, I have several lines that have changed from one example to the next, and I want to somehow show that those lines are the ones that have been modified by some form of marker (“change bar”) or highlighting.

There's a difference between objectively revealing all relevant, true facts at your disposal and selectively releasing true facts that support your agenda or actively harm your opponent, at very specific times when its most advantageous for you to do it. There's also a difference between having legitimate complaints about the United States government and actively working with Russian Intelligence to destabilize western civilization.

It's definitely technically possible to find a hacky combination that works today, but only by shouldering the cost of understanding all the possible deps and symbols and the structure of their underlying objects used by all possible e.g. graphics drivers and X11 libraries now and into the future. You can hack around it today, but it's a fool's game and absolutely not something that can be relied on to continue working in any sound manner, without risking e.g. some memory corruption due to a struct layout difference long in the future, etc.

I wanted to check whether the official Nvidia driver uses C++, but it's not installed on this machine just now, and of course that I even have to check just highlights the problem with this approach.

Things are irrational until we understand the dynamics behind them. Then they become rational. When she decided not to press the issue, that wasn't a rational decision made on logic, it was an emotional one where she prioritized one kind of truth, that it was her hurting her child, over another kind of truth, that it was the hand licking that was hurting her child.

Only in retrospect did the actuality of the situation make itself known. There was no logical way to weigh one alternative against another. Sure, one later manifested, but it didn't exist in the moment.

This is why I say she used irrational means to decide to lay off. I recognized maternal instincts in her reasoning, which I'll quote here:

> Finally, I had this moment where I felt that my efforts to ramp up the pressure to force him to stop had crossed some line. I felt I was turning into an abusive parent.

> At that moment, I decided this had to stop. I didn't care if he licked his hands the rest of his life. It couldn't be worse than this.

Rational analysis failed, some other way of deciding how to handle it took hold. Notice the semantic shift here. She moved from articulating her decision-making process in a cold, logical fashion, then after the failure, she shifts to an empathic, emotional basis.

Over-reliance on and unexamined belief in rationality drives this. Sometimes there are multiple truths out there that you are going to have to choose between, with nothing to help to distinguish them. The over-rational mindset will concoct meaningless and even counter-productive forms of "rationality" to paper over their fundamental ignorance. The colloquial term at hand is lamp posting.

Competition in a free market is good, but in the presence of monopolies, it's a self-destructing concept.

TechCrunch wrote[0] "This feels like a sign of goodwill on behalf of Microsoft, which closed its acquisition of GitHub last October, with former Xamarin CEO Nat Friedman taking over as GitHub’s CEO." I believe it's more of a sign of an attempt to kill GitHub's rivals by hurting their revenue streams. As Aaron Levie, co-founder and chief executive of Box once said in 2014, “These guys will drive prices to zero, [...] you do not want to wait for Google or Amazon to keep cutting prices on you. ‘Free’ is not a business model.”[1]

It's an interesting theory, but I'm not sure if I believe it. Which gag order is this, and how does it apply to Wikileaks?
Even though some of my responses in this thread can be considered butthurt-ish in the hindsight, I don't think that judging whole community by one individual is a good idea.
Not OP but I think some people think that Microsoft might make it more difficult to use other services with GitHub rather than just streamline it for Microsoft. I don't think strengthening Microsoft + GitHub integration is a problem and is probably smart for them to do. They just should not and probably won't make it prohibitively difficult to integrate with say AWS or GCP.
Really? This is a problem?
How is a battery any different from any other auto part? Radiator, water pump, alternator, etc. Yours goes bad? You go to the auto parts store and get a new one with a "core" fee. You return your broken radiator, water pump, etc. and get your fee back and the re-manufacturer rebuilds yours for someone else to use.

Democracy hasn't failed here. Your MPs have.

Humphrey in Yes, Minister puts it very aptly: the UK joined the EU to try to screw it up from within after failing to screw it up from without. De Gaulle saw through this and that is why he refused to let the UK join while was at the helm.

The UK leaving the EU and/or disagreeing with what it stands for (to the UK: a market; to the rest of the EU: a peace project with benefits) has been a debate ever since the UK joined. If I am not mistaking, nearly all challenges to PMs in the UK since have been about the EU.

True, the EU is not perfect. But it's more or less functional and it's brought us peace since 1945. Plus, as an EU citizen, it's wonderful to be able to move from one point on the continent to another on a whim.

A large chunk of EU MP's time is actually spent transcribing EU law into Member State law, which is to say a lot more -- good -- stuff gets done in Brussels and Strasbourg than gets reported by the media. The EU, as an aside, happens to be a convenient scapegoat across the EU: when it's good, it's because of us; when it isn't, it's because of Brussels. But you'd never know that reading UK press.

To me the real WTF is that Brexiters didn't even believe in their own project all while pushing for it [1]. They had done such a good job in the decades prior at scapegoating the EU for just about everything, that UK voters ended up voting Leave, thereby pointing a gun at their own face.

More outrageous still is that some of the movement's leaders, such as Farage, are jumping ship by moving to continental Europe.

Frankly, as a continental EU citizen who has been watching this circus with growing awareness since the late-80s, the only thing that comes to my mind is: unless the UK public gets its act together (in which case I fully expect the rest of the EU to insist on the UK abandoning its budget rebate nonsense and adopting Schengen and the Euro, on top of aligning with the EU project once and for all), good riddance.

This advice always struck me as funny, because an ORM will select every column in a table too, even ones you aren't going to use. So the corollary to this is: never use an ORM.

One would catch a lot of debate (never use an ORM), the other mostly doesn't (never use select *). Maybe most people that use an ORM don't connect these dots though.
I don’t know how I should feel about this but I don’t recognize many books published in 1923. I was looking to see what classics I could easily add to my Kindle but the list doesn’t seem as recognizable as 1922 or 1924. Some of the things I recognize from 1923 are parts of series (Poirot, Jeeves & Wooster) rather than stand-alone books.

Can anyone recommend something from 1923?

This was always one of the core worries about GitHub and Microsoft. Microsoft will not leave GitHub alone. It's too important to developers, and no matter how much they say "we won't touch GitHub", nobody (rightfully) will believe them.
> Not sure I could call this "well made" which is a disappointment for me with regards to Anker.

Does Anker have a good reputation? I bought an Anker cigarette lighter - USB charger a couple years ago. One of the reviewers pointed out it fit poorly, took it apart, and made suggestions to Anker on how to improve the product (and got feedback from Anker). I figured it was safe to assume the improvements made it into the product. Turns out that a year later no improvement had been made and the damn thing would disconnect every time I hit a bump or looked at it funny.

From my POV Anker is 7-11 quality stuff.

Edit: I'm loving the downvotes from the brand loyalists who've nothing to contribute.
I don't think this is a "social graph play". I think it's about them realizing that the small amount of revenue they get from individual subscriptions is worth less than the free advertising/marketing they get by making it free for individuals, and then letting developers advocate for GH inside organizations which end up buying Enterprise licenses.

This is more about getting people to use (or keep using) GitHub for their personal projects so that it seems like a natural/obvious/default choice for a bigger-budget project, and that's where the revenue is.
