Why does everyone assume democracy is good? It clearly wasn’t necessary for Singapore. A well run “dictatorship” is much better than your average democracy. I would concede that a democracy filled with the right people is the best but in reality it is very rare to come upon a population that is actually ready to govern itself. People generally have extremely reductionist and incorrect opinions about such things in my experience.
Relying on your customers to use password managers to protect themselves is not very useful in the Eternal September age of the internet. (I do see your point that a Google redirect is only marginally more likely to be effective for phishing than a link to something like goegle.com.)

Everything else in your comment is spot on.
This is why I am learning tech stuff at light speed but music theory is painfully slow. I have experts everywhere at work who can point me in the right direction and give feedback but when learning stuff totally on my own it can be hard to work out what I should even work on or if I am aproching something in the right way.

When I first started teaching myself programming I wasted ages on pointless things that didn't get me anywhere.

Makes me wonder if there would be value in a cheaper form of university where instead of going through the whole process you just get access to experts you can talk to and ask your dumb questions.

I know there are a lot of places on the internet where you can ask questions but they tend to cater to experts only because most people don't like answering beginner questions that get asked 100 times unless they are paid to.

Things are much harder nowadays due to complexity. From almost impossible to understand CPU cores to massive amounts of third party code to the modern requirements (IoT, ouch!).

Debugging predictable single thread single core system was also child's play compared to distributed networked beasts each running on lots of cores and thousands of threads.

Nineties problems were contained in a small box. Oh, and no internet like today, so needed to order books and magazines. And to use BBS and usenet. Even then, a lot of it was reinventing the wheel again and again.

Modern problems are sometimes nearly uncontained (think software like web browsers, etc.).
A: You avoid issues such as Readme files stating, "before compiling you have to git clone ../commonA, ../commonB". These always tend to get stale so in reality you also have to git clone ../commonC wasting you tons of hours of troubleshooting.

B: Developer working on daily basis in component A finds a bug in component B. He just has to change the code and commit it for review, instead of understanding the specifics of working with component B repository.

I'm not sure why, it may be a regional thing but I attend meetings in support for someone else and there are plenty of people who do not believe in God and state as such. I believe the third step even agrees, though I may be misinterpreting it: "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."

The "as we understood Him", while most likely still referring to God, is what is used to mean whatever works for you even if it isn't God but something you can believe in as much to help you, which then opens the door for substituting God in the later steps for your version (or not) of him.

My personal opinion is that I find the program a bit cultish and don't agree that telling people they are helpless is the right way to help them, but that's my opinion and I respect that the program works for some people.

> I wish there were fully functional privacy focussed ROMs that was shipped by Android OEMs.

I'm sure everyone on this discussion board knows why this will never be the case, unfortunately.

With that said, are there any regularly-updated aftermarket ROMs that are privacy-focused? I've had a rough look at LineageOS[1] - a continuation of CyanogenMod - and it seems to mostly fit the bill.

I'm aware of CopperheadOS, but they had a "touch" of infighting about half a year ago[2] and mostly dissolved.

I too am moving away from Apple products, for the same reason. They are reaching expense levels (especially in my country) that I simply can't justify when I can get a HP or Lenovo business-grade laptop with drastically better hardware specifications and install simply OpenSUSE on it. Without going all-in on the Apple ecosystem to fully reap the rewards, it's simply not worth it for me to use any of them.

It'd also be interesting to explore other optimisation metrics, e.g. having common letters on the ends to allow the user to 'blindly' move the pointer to one end or the other without a need for precision.

I'm also curious if e.g. 10 shifts is twice as bad as 5 shifts, it feels to me like there's a drop-off in shifting cost after one shift.

Functional Programming Is Not a Silver Bullet
That's not true. From my experience unit tests are great for agile. It will allow you to create "trusted" modules which you can move around and rework much easier (you can also treat your tests as executable documentation). Without tests you can't safely do any change to existing code especially if you are changing code written by someone else. You have to risk it and than spent considerable time in debugger if it breaks something unrelated to your feature.
Creator of 10er here! Happy to answer any questions.
> Yes, but most people's phones have broken screens!

Which is baffling. A screen protector and case will cost you about GBP20-30 and they work. I closed a taxi door on my iPhone X last year - all that happened was the screen protector broke and there was a dirty scuff on the case.

I've dropped my phones countless times and only once has the screen cracked[1] (and then I didn't have a screen protector on.)

[1] Which was an internal hairline that you couldn't see unless it reflected external light just right. Apple Store said they'd never seen a crack like it and replaced the whole phone immediately without question.

Dude I think I have offered the proper solution to your problem.

You have made your suggestions, they have been ignored and you have been banned from the relevant discussion groups.

It is quite obvious that the solution is a software issue, that what you want is a change to the software.

Then what you have to do is to seek out some like-minded pod administrators, have some discussions with them, gather whatever necessary resources required to fork the software and get going.

The software is open source, isn't it?

That is a whole lot better than accusing some software developers of aiding and abetting the distribution of CP, which can be said of the whole of the Internet itself.

What defines “modern” as implying a right to free assembly?
This is great. Very similar to Designmodo's Startup Framework which is what I've used to build Rezi - https://rezi.io
I had the same thought.

To give an example and add some context: just last week I thought of a possible bug and gap in the test coverage for a personal project. Within a Zsh prompt, I pulled the latest revision from Bitbucket using Mercurial, used Emacs (via the Hacker's Keyboard [1] soft keyboard) to edit the test suite and add a couple of lines, then used CMake to generate a makefile for GNU Make to build the project using Clang, and finally ran the test suite and confirmed the expected segfault.

All of this was done locally (except for the pull, obviously) from within a Termux [2] session on a sub-$300 Android phone. Granted, the full test suite takes about 14x longer to run on my phone compared to my aging desktop and it's tedious to type very much, but as the old saying goes: "The marvel is not that the bear dances well, but that the bear dances at all."

Democracy is awful in all sorts of ways. Its one major advantage is non-violent succession, something other systems really struggle with.

Dictatorships can be great for a whole, but eventually you get a mad dictator or two people who both think they should be the dictator and it all falls apart.
Indeed. In RTS games like StarCraft or Age of Empires, that lowest level is referred to as mechanics, control or "micro"* (depending on the context of the finer action).

In order of scale:
Strategy > Tactics > mechanics/micro/control

*micro as in micromanagement, of individual units in your army,

This is often contrasted with "macro", which refers to overall strategy + consistency of your "mechanics" for other actions besides micro-ing army units (training harvesters, building bases, having enough houses, sending out well-timed scouts, etc).
I've always wanted to know the answer from someone who actually implemented a VM: Why do people prefer stack-based VMs over register-based? They are obviously a simpler design, but register-based designs are closer to the actual machine, and I've read somewhere that register-based VMs generally perform better.
the problem is that most websites want things to look "exactly" a certain way and use responsive to hit you with this jackboot. it is genuinely painful to use some sites like reddit nowadays coz of the wasted space

JS is he way Stripe works and without Stripe there's no 10er. You're the first one to mention this though. So while I agree that it's not without problems, I'm not sure it's holding that many donators back.
If you've got a pre merge build check you can't break global build in a monorepo. That's the benefit, the one introducing the breakage will get a fail in your CI. There is no need for other teams to catch up.

By doing this you only ever "step" a dependency one at a time and one minor minor version at a time, so you only get very few and very small breakages each time. Instead of locking your depfile and then 6 months down the road you realize you need a security fix in component foo but then you got 1000 other backwards incompatible changes to fix because of transitive dependencies that also need to be upgraded in order to satisfy foo 1.2 dependencies.
“Which is great” is an understatement. Looking at the other southeast Asian all the countries in ASEAN one starts to realize that Singapore could have been a lot worse off. Instead the GDP per capita is comparable to the United States, and crime is much lower.

This tired and ignorant take is so frustrating to continue to see, especially after the Trump win.
I'm not sure there was much ambiguity in defining strategy versus tactics in the first place. This article's convoluted use of "end states" and "actions" was not very helpful in solving this non-issue.
Just jumping in to agree here. I've always thought of this way:

In the 90's the code I wrote was more difficult. Today coding is much easier (better languages, tooling, etc..). However the systems I build are many times more complex.

In the 90's we hired the best programmers, today we hire the people who are best at managing ambiguity and complexity.

All of this is very hand-wavy as there are certainly still disciplines where pure programming skill is most important, but those seem to be fewer and fewer every day.

Anything with realtime graphics was probably written in assembly. There were game companies whose entire business was porting games between platforms, essentially rewriting the code for each machine.

Slower-moving adventure and RPG games might be in a higher-level language. (IIRC the original Wizardry was written in a VM-based Pascal for Apple II?)

Companies that specialized in adventure games would have their own interpreter and VM — Infocom's ZIL, Sierra's AGI, Lucasfilm's SCUMM. Game developers would write code in a scripting language against that company-standard VM.

Amateur games might be written in BASIC because every computer under the sun shipped with a BASIC interpreter back then.

C wasn't a practical option because decent compilers didn't exist for most non-Unix systems until the end of the 1980s — or if they did, they'd cost an arm and a leg. (I think the retail price for Microsoft's C compiler for DOS was several thousand dollars.)

Also called an enlightened despot; In the Eastern -Chinese Legalism tradition- a 明君 "míngjūn". There have been instances of them throughout history. But like you said, the problem is usually what happens once the ruler is gone. It's never a (long-term) good idea to have the success of a group dependant on a single person. A political system that produces mediocre-but-stable success (over several generations) seems preferable to one that produces a superior-but-brief success.

I'm sorry but Tesla's secret weapon is a technology that can probably be reproduced in 1-2 years by several large manufacturers then it's in deep trouble. This isn't going to be a long term competitive advantage, so I'm not really sure how it's relevant. Tesla isn't uniquely place in battery production, it's maybe uniquely placed in battery pack production for EVs but is that really going to be enough?

Blame the weather on the sun.

Shortwave DX relies on ionospheric propagation. Solar particles cause ionization of the upper atmosphere, which becomes mostly opaque to shortwave frequencies. Activity on the surface of the sun follows a roughly 11-year cycle, with alternating periods of high and low activity. We're currently approaching the low point of that cycle, but the most recent cycle offered unusually poor propagation conditions.

There has been an overall reduction in shortwave broadcasting, but there's still plenty of activity in Africa and South-East Asia. You're not hearing it because it's all drifting off into space rather than ricocheting around inside the atmosphere.

It's a very interesting thing to call it "money". It's ... not. Not unless you want to call every scarce good money. This has bene rehearsed many a time over the years. It's too volatile but be usable as a unit of account, it's not backed by a nation state and it can't be used to create credit. These are all important functions of money and Bitcoin has none of it.

Yes, and I pointed out one of the reasons for not supporting backwards compatibility in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18819491 . There are many others of course.

It's in a parallel thread because it's a response to t0mbstone's statement that Python developers should have done more work to support backwards compatibility.

I am not saying that Python should "deprecate every old functionality always", but that is what dragonwriter seems to be arguing.

dragonwriter made a different argument about why to drop backwards compatibility, based on an interpretation of the Zen of Python. My response on this thread is to say that that interpretation of the Zen of Python is not valid, or at least weak, given that it does not explain Python's own development history.

Something that I am sure that you agree with.

I don't see where your views disagree with mine.

Introduction to Mythril Classic and Symbolic Execution
It makes no sense to make such a point about this specific course when it can be made about any course. Additionally, it is not possible to get on the same level via a 5 minute blog post compared to completing the course. Such counts for most if not all courses.

> Personally I would hate to waste hours of my personal time unnecessarily, thus I appreciate these warnings.

These warnings can be made with about any online content. It boils down to "I found it a waste of time"; data suggests the course was NOT a waste of time however. I appreciate such data over anecdotal evidence.
