Right here is what I mean by doublethink. How can "literally anything" not include "literally physically destroy[ing] the world"? Of course, I was also using it as shorthand for any catastrophic consequence that is unacceptable.

It's the equivocation between inconsistent ideas that frustrates me. Of course, practically speaking you assume really bad things don't follow from undefined behavior. But then why the constant refrain about how we shouldn't rely on what actually happens?

I think I understand where the motivation for declaring undefined behavior comes from - people who set standards don't want responsibility for situations they don't completely control. But this disclaiming of responsibility puts the users of the standards in an impossible situation as a result.

I'm coming from a perspective of someone who programmed in C as my second language after BASIC, back in the 80s, before modern standards and before I knew anything about language standards. The philosophy and attitude of people who talk about standards and undefined behavior is something I first encountered on Usenet in the 90s, but I still am disturbed by it and haven't been "educated" to accept it.
Question : How does OTP work together with things like kubernetes in the real world ? Designing around actors with OTP spawning and respawning part of the actor tree, while at the same time provisionning / deprovisionning VMs if load is going up or down, sounds like either a dream if it works well, or a nightmare if there's just a single glitch somewhere.
Since most of my ideas seem come out of thin air, I usually send an email to myself with a rough idea. Then, I create a Google Docs "Word" file with further details if the project develops further.

I tag the emails with "Project Ideas" in gmail, so I can sort them later to review.
The integrity of DNS shouldn’t depend on someone having a well-known twitter account but unfortunately DNS is a poorly designed system and this kind of thing happens all the time. Just a few months ago Zoho’s registrar blocked their domain because of just two customer complaints, even though Zoho has tens of millions of paying customers. https://twitter.com/zoho/status/1044249648993525760?s=21

Just to be clear on the one point, I don't do this and if I implied as much, it was unintentional.
can people give real world business use cases for where they are using elixir? What industries are you working in? what actually gets done in the real world at the end of the day with the system you're working on? e.g. are more ads served to web users? are you monitoring methane on IOT things strapped to cows in farm fields?
I found the indicators too narrow, so I made this CSS change (in TST config):

/* Better highlighting of tab container */
.tab {
padding-right: 12px !important;
}
.contextual-identity-marker {
width: 6px !important;
border-radius: 2px;
margin: 2px;
opacity: 0.75;
}

Hope it's helpful for someone else :)

This used to be me until I started using screenshot shortcuts that put images in the clipboard instead of files. You can paste directly into jira, slack, hangouts, whatsapp web, and many other places.
There are two things to do here.

First, address the qualities of the top of your ideas funnel. Needs to be quick, always available. Organization doesn't matter much here because ideally you'll be reviewing this with enough frequency that a giant list of random things isn't overwhelming. Whatever works for you, IM sounds like a fine idea. Sometimes i use Siri reminders because voice interface.

Second is organizing. The basis way to represent ideas and info is relational, and generally a hierarchy is necessary for compressing into bigger digestible thoughts. So something that can help you model in that way and do it easily. I use Notion because it is naturally hierarchical with it's pages embedded in other pages and the ability to dump in any kind of content. When the page gets too much content and it gets hard to organize I break it into subpages.

Occasionally I'll want to reorganize things and that's straightforward too. For me these tools work really well but like many people are saying it's important to recognize a good process too.
More recently, people have experimented with repurposing the ARISC power management core on Allwinner H3-based boards like the Orange Pi for similar realtime purposes: https://github.com/orange-cnc/h3_arisc_firmware (It's basically an outdated OpenRISC core with direct access to some GPIO pins running at up to a few hundred megahertz.)
A simple, but effective way to live that provides personal happiness.

If you feel that you need to help the world, you can always donate a percentage of your earnings to people that need it the most. For a lot of people, this is the most effective way they can help others.
gcc -shared -o mycrypto.1.1.so file1.c file2.c file3.c file4.c

Doesn't that have the same effect of being easy to include? The amalgamation may be better for the compiler but I'm not sure why.
Killer feature: pattern matching mixed with destructuring.

Is it still plagiarism if the original author hides his writing behind a pseudonym?
>"E&M is far from "simple". It contains special relativity, for starters."

A theory (which is just a set of assumed first principles and rules of logic) can be simple but allow you to deduce vast complexity from it. In fact, it is ideal for a theory to be as simple as possible.

The "game of life" is not really a theory, but it demonstrates that simple rules can lead to surprising complexity:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

EDIT:

I can't begin to imagine why this would trigger a downvote. Are there people out there who prefer complex theories that make things more difficult to understand than necessary? Perhaps because it makes them feel smart or something, I don't know.

But that is basically saying you dislike science, because the point of science is to synthesize information into a small set of simple "laws" that allow us to deduce accurate and precise predictions.
I recently realized that chromium is a memory hog, with 50 tabs most of my ram (8G) is gone; while firefor nightly is around 1G, 1.5G maybe with a similar load. I guess this is gonna shrink memory usage even more.
Which is sometimes unjustly described as fallacious, though even the best can make mistakes.

besides standard folders that are delivered with the OS, I tend to create folder `/projects` with my personal side-gigs and `/work` with commercial projects for other people. nothing fancy.
>and get volumes up again by making sure that they have attractive premium products that people can afford.

Another thing would be to offer entry-level products that get people into the ecosystem. Like the iPhone SE - smaller and less capable, but profitable at lower prices than newer models. Basically, keep a lower step on the ladder - it makes it easier to get aboard.
Right, I have no idea, I’m simply saying that in terms of opportunities in a midwestern metropolitan with 1-2 million people, even what’s considered the best schooling option at any price has very few Ivy League bound students.

I have a lot of sympathy for your position. I have worked in many situations:

* Contractor just in it for the bucks

* Contractor in it for the freedom

* Working with a great team on interesting consulting projects

* Start-up co-founder in a space I really believed in

* Comfortable job that provided for me and mine while working on interesting projects and having autonomy.

I suggest that you pick a direction and go for it (given my extremely limited understanding of your situation, probably in the energy or ai field--better to pick something you want to do than something you feel like you should do). Better to have some movement than to idly tread water.

While every decision had consequences and closes off some options, every situation has good lessons (and that no place is perfect, at least that I have found). It's also worth realizing that not many decisions are irrevocable, if you are willing to make sacrifices.
I actually do classify my eBooks with Dewey decimal numbers, but like a library they also have barcode/reference numbers, and hence are stored by those. I recently wrote a feature for my home automation system to retrieve them for me so I can read them when I am not at home. My older actual "library database" software is from 2010, and doesn't actually interact with the file storage at all. I'm now working on connecting the two systems a bit.

I have a few main folders Library, Projects, Website, etc. They're mostly uninteresting, I'm more proud of how I back them up. Everything syncs offsite, I've got multiple hard drives in multiple sites. The other thing I try to do is to use a common drive letter between PCs. So my Music folder is at the same location on any PC, for instance.
Acting and professional sports are good examples, but consider anything with very low odds. You hear about the successes, not about those who didn't make it (the 99%). They had passion too.
Their career guide does specifically discuss social impact outside of your job, in terms of advocacy (what you've described), support roles, and donations.

DNS wasn’t built to support the growth it has experienced. Both it’s security model (Certificate Authorities)and governance model (ICANN) are highly flawed. The internet needs to switch to a better system as it becomes an increasingly important part of our lives.

Workers and queues fail. SQS was down for us for almost two weeks while AWS fixed a bug. We had no choice but to wait or rewrite our implementation... Again! We've already had to rewrite once due to poor visibility and rare occasional problems processing data. Debugging such distributed systems is legendary hell. And that's just for simple async processing so that we can return a response quickly to the user and finish the task in a few seconds. There is simply no comparison between such a complex, failure prone distributed system and the simplicity, reliability, and ease of use of having support built into the language for this, IMO.
That's strange... the graph directly corresponds with the rising popularity of DuckDuckGo.
Ive also noticed that even though the industry has done things X way for a long time, sometimes those are done because "well We've always done it that way". It's cargo culting, and nobody has a good reason why its done.

Being an outside can sometimes mean that you call attention to that, and show better ways. And with the internet and publications, can be an effective way to do that.

Most of the times however, there are reasons and you should at least understand why. But for those cases where "why" isn't defined, poke at them.... You're likely to find something interesting.

Dyson's statement was about Maxwell's theory, not all of E&M and its interactions with every other physical theory. There are no point charges in Maxwell's theory, for example.
It's really a matter of opinion, not ignorance.

I run macOS, Windows and Linux on a daily basis, and find macOS and Windows very much equivalent in use. (Linux less so for my particular use, I find Linux desktop environments ugly, so I'm CLI only.)

If you are using Google sheets to store your budget, checkout https://byobudget.com

It lets you record purchases in your spreadsheet via SMS. I should be launching it in the next month or so. It's geared towards people who want just a little more realtime ability for their current budget without switching what they use. If all goes well, I'll be expanding to other integrations (private firefly III instances, YNAB, alternative input methods, etc).

I don't know if I would draw a particularly strong parallel between Julius Caesar and August Caesar in the Roman column and the current administration in the other column.
I'm saying managers or clients aren't always technical, and for some of these non-technical roles, time is correlated to amount of work done, so they assume technical work is also like that.

Why do you think Apple is unique? Most companies, including other tech companies, are organized this way (i.e., including Microsoft, Sony, Samsung, etc.) Having product-specific divisions is actually a tech-specific oddity limited to a few companies like Google and Adobe.
Is there an effort to build a whitelist for sites using old TLS versions?
But what about not so computation-heavy tasks like parsing HTTP requests, interacting with databases, generating and serving responses based on the input, templates, reasonably simple logic and the data? And if it's not fast then why even consider it when there are more well-established alternatives like Ruby for those who like the syntax, ASP.Net/Core, Python/Django, Node/Express, Scala/Play for the FP lovers etc? I've been previously told it's key features are it's super fast, functional and Ruby-like.
You're missing the point. Presenting a source for a claim is fine, but the naked fact that the author of the source is an expert in the field is not sufficient. You need to also show that their expertise is properly applied.

The person with whom you are arguing is making the point that they may have been misdirected by prompting that turns out to have been questionable, and that they acted on this instead of properly applying their expertise.

If you're saying something like, "Well that's just not possible! They're an authority on this topic!" ...then yes, you are committing (arguably the quintessential) fallacy of appealing to authority.
We should shut down the HSR project (train from SF to LA), and redirect the funds ($77 billion) to improve regional transit.

When CHSR (California High Speed Rail) was approved by 52.6% of voters in 2008, the estimated price was around $40 billion.

Now that cost estimates are at $77 billion (and on track for $100 billion), voters should be allowed a "vote of no confidence".

Imagine what we could do with $100 billion.
Work on the problems you care about and are interested in solving. The reasoning for that is that when you are both interested in and care about a problem you will give it all of your attention. When you work on a problem that you think "should" be worked on but that you don't deeply care about, then you won't give it all of your attention. That leads to less job satisfaction and solutions that aren't as good as those that would be come up with by someone who is really invested.

The meta question is one that is more important, do I work on a problem that pays me a lot of cash or one that is important. Bill Gates showed you can earn a lot of cash and then work on important problems, but I don't think the odds favor that approach.
Yes, but that wasn’t a huge market to begin with. I think Apple pulled back a bit after realizing the market wasn’t growing as fast as they hoped.
Jacking up the price on the Mac Mini the same year as ditching the 5S speaks volumes about how much they care about creating ‘affordable’ anything.
Would you put secrets into a circleci environment variable? https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/env-vars/

That might be an improvement over checking in the json file, as I suspect (from a very brief look) that that is why the json file is checked in.
Actually Ecto is the most unhappy part of the Elixir ecosystem to me. It's unnecessarily complicated for almost any software project. I'd even take Django's ORM instead of it, but what I want is something close to ActiveRecord. There are some Elixir modules similar to AR, none popular.
Yes. Plagiarism is stealing another authors ideas, words, or expressions and representing them as one’s own work.

And I’m pretty sure comments like this are against HN policy as they degrade the quality of discourse.
I don't dislike elixir, I just think scala and akka are better tools for some problems for a few reasons.

- BEAM is slow for computation.
- Static typing
That article (accurately) points to Signal's initial funding by the Open Technology Fund, an program that gives grants to internet freedom technologies that line up with US interests and is funded by Radio Free Asia, which is under the State Department. Radio Free Asia was previously CIA-funded, many many years before the creation of the Open Technology Fund. (Also, Radio Free Asia, both in the past and in the present, is working on problems where being secure against large governments is much more useful than having back doors.) It has never been NSA-affiliated (unless you count "being part of the US government" as NSA-affiliated).

The relationship between Signal and the State Department is solely one of funding, not of technical interaction, let alone technical endorsement.

> Well, two sides to this. For one, Phoenix uses Webpack now(since finally the war to see what app bundler would win is over).

We shouldn't force devs on Bower or Webpack. If I want to try out a new theme just bought on ThemeForest, it shouldn't take hours to make it compatible. Or to force to do the /priv/ hack that seems unelegant.
I thought 'freceny' was a typo until I clicked the link, but sadly the man page doesn't really explain what it is.

Could you maybe give a few examples of how you might find something eg. using find(1), and then how you could find it using z?
The whole point of implementation defined behavior is to allow the individual implementations slack. I'm not saying C should be 100% UB free, just that implementation defined is preferable to undefined.
The story was written after the invention of the transistor, but it seems Asimov hadn't heard of them or didn't grasp the implications, and assumed that computers would be based on tubes (or valves, the word used in the story) for billions of years into the future (but eventually they would be "molecular valves" and a powerful computer could be only half the size of a spaceship).
Definitely. Found two awesome remote jobs. Quadrupled the rate.
What should be worked on is fairly easy to figure out using the inversion technique. Think about what will happen if we do NOT work on something and assign highest priorities to tasks that will cause catastrophic results if we do NOT work on them.

If you do that, you'll quickly find that healthcare largely doesn't matter right now: you might score a victory fighting malaria, but Earth will be a scorched desert because of global warming caused by our carbon emissions.

So, I'd say that the most important thing that we could possibly work on right now is removing carbon from the air, because if we do not, our grandchildren will have serious problems, and their children might not have a planet to live on.

But that's not what you really asked, right? You wanted to know whether to work on Big Problems. And from your description it seems like you have the same problem all perfectionists do: how do I even get started if the problem is so Big and Complex that it's likely I'll never even make a dent?

Well, if you ever figure that one out, be sure to let me know.
In Europe PSD II will come in effect in Q4 this year. By then all banks need to offer account information and payment initiation functionality to psd registered parties. This has spurred banks to implement more than just the required apis and most of them use some form of oauth/accesstoken for authentication. It is only a matter of time before there will be an aggregator site where you will be able to see data from all banks. There are even banks that already show accounts from other banks as well.
It is plagiarism, that is not debatable.
