What percent of Unices come with Powershell today? I can write my code in bash and forget about it. Or if I'm supporting less systems (most linux + macOS + most modern Unices) I can write my code in perl or python. Powershell? Thanks but no thanks.
Author here, I am happy to see so many awesome ideas from hacker news on note taking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18837345

Would you let me know whether using Github is a good idea for you to manage your notes? Thanks.
JSON is how some data is passed today. It's certainly not the best way and might go out of style just like XML did a while ago.

WireGuard doesn't require bash. The main configuration utility, wg(8), is written in vanilla C. However, the tools ship with a little convenience script, called wg-quick(8), which is indeed written in bash. It started out as the thing I was using to configure my laptop on the go, but then others found it helpful. It's by no means essential or central to WireGuard, and lots of people use different things to wrap wg(8) and the various networking tools.
I own a VR headset, but it has a couple of major practical drawbacks for consuming entertainment.

The biggest is motion sickness. It’s still a huge problem despite advances. I can’t game for several hours straight, it’s just impossible.

Movies are better, but the second problem is the the total immersion. It’s a pain in the ass to even check the time with a VR headset on. I can’t easily answer a text, I can’t get up to go to the bathroom without untangling myself, I can even pick up a beer without risking spilling it.
The noblacksallowed mall is allowed to have meetings on their private property at their sole discretion. (I'm assuming that the noblacsallowed mall is a private mall with a racial exclusivity clause in its membership requirements.) So at the meetings they are also free to invite and host, as a guest speaker, whatever politician they choose. There's no Constitutional power that the government would have to stop that. So again, the David Dukes of the world are safe. David Duke is free to do any guest appearance for his constituents or anyone else at any venue they want. We may not like that, but that's just how it's always worked.

Now there might be an issue if David Duke were to put his official full time office in the noblacksallowed mall, and conduct ALL his official business there. But even then, that would be an issue for David Duke, NOT an issue for the mall.

Because they're structured differently. A man page for an app is just that, a page, with some formatting and sections. Texinfo is more like your typical website - lots of small cross-linked pages with a common index. Consequently, a man page is usually an extended take on --help, while info pages are more like product manuals.

This is the theory. The practice is that GNU mandates Texinfo for its projects, and because documentation tends to be the weak spot for all open source projects, manpages end up the most neglected as a result, which can be quite annoying. Especially since pretty much nobody else uses Texinfo - man pages are good enough for most console apps, and those that need more detailed documentation use Docbook, Markdown etc.

The linked paper says that the empirical accuracy of this feeling was disproven over 100 years ago:

> One of the most common extramission beliefs is that people can “feel” someone else’s gaze as a pressure or heat on the skin. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Titchener (14) and Coover (15) showed that, although people may believe in eye beams, no such beams exist; people cannot actually detect the gaze of another in the absence of specific sensory information.

> 14 Titchener EB (1898) The feeling of being stared at. Science 8:895–897.

> 15 Coover JE (1913) The feeling of being stared at. Am J Psychol 24:570–575.

Have you come across later studies that suggest it does have a statistically verifiable reality?

Experimenting is not the only way to quantify risk. You can also e.g. have several highly paid lawyers look over the text of the license, and see what each of them had to say.

The big players in the industry did just that, and there appears to be a remarkable consensus on it.
Why do people keep thinking about this in the terms "who should pay for that" while in the market economy, it won't change anything? It's about supply and demand, just force medical schools prepare more doctors, for example threatening them with automatic diploma recognitions and green cards on arrival, for medical professionals from every first world country who could speak decent English.
We call it a 51% attack an attack, but from the perspective of PoW it's always about the chain with the most work. Anyone is just as valid as anyone else to propose blocks. That's the point of Bitcoin: a way to always figure what the truth is, and make it as expensive as possible for people to attack/change this truth.

The only problem here is that PoW only knows one cost: hashing, and due to macro shifts in mining hardware this can sometimes go down a lot more than the value of a coin (which makes the cost of this attack worth it).

As soon as you start introducing measures to subvert this attack you are subverting either decentralization or stability. If you for example program clients to not accept reorgs deeper than 10 blocks (for example) you simply introduce new attack vectors that can split the network (into following different chains - which is even scarier than 51% attacks).

If every x blocks you snapshot the chain and force everyone to follow that snapshot you just centralized the chain, etc.
Solving [business] problems is a viable career choice.

Web development could be solving someone's essential business problem or totally non-essential for someone else.

The key is to find the customer for whom whatever you're doing will solve essential business problem.

Quite often web development is exactly what customer needs but he won't call it this way.
He won't use this wording.
He won't look for web developer.
He won't pay for web developer.

But if you approach customer by speaking customer's language and showing customer how you can solve his problem - the result could be way more win-win and productive.

You won't hire an expert in "connecting wooden boards with nails" but you'll more likely to hire an expert in "building houses" to build your own house.

That's an idea.

And as a completely different example, what this principle suggests is that nations with a low interest rate environment will generally see a decline in profits corresponding to the lower rate. So for example Japan, a nation where corporate profits became notoriously low after the period of zero interest rates. Or, for example, China, where various subsidies to the cost of capital result in very low and sometimes negative cost of capital to state owned enterprises (SOE). It's these SOEs that end up doing weird things like a metal mining SOE building a replica of an Austrian village for a tourist attraction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP-7f1XW7jE). How on earth would a mining company do that except for the fact that they have a lot of money lying around due to earning economic rents? They find ways of spending money up until their return is the market return.

This is completely independent of their pricing power or monopolistic status.

The requirements for hardware and processing to achieve emergency braking is drastically different than the 360 degree situational awareness and avoidance that Toyota is showing here.

You can buy a 2017 Camry with emergency braking. It uses a laser and camera at the front and looks like a Camry. Compare the module to the Guardian sensor bank you see on the roof there. It's not for show. We will not see this sensor bank or these capabilities on every new car in 2022 and the article you posted doesn't remotely suggest that.

I think you're underestimating what Toyota is doing here.

> I can write my code in bash and forget about it.

In practice, this approach often results in code that works only on Linux, or on Linux and macOS. I especially hate it when people shove #!/bin/bash as a shebang, and doubly so when it's in scripts that are a part of some npm package.

(On BSDs, Bash is not installed out of the box, and when it is installed, it's not in /bin, since it's not in the base system.)

Still, though, that's a good reason to stick to the original Bourne shell. Powershell, whatever its advantages may be, simply has too heavy dependencies on Linux, since you're dragging in CLR. At that point, like you said, might as well just use Perl or Python for scripting.
Yeah, you're probably right, I'm sure it's just horse ownership and free preschool rather than income stagnation, exploding debt in the under 35 age bracket (much of it due to student loan burden), and massively increasing housing costs.

If C++ compile time is a concern and/or impediment to productivity, I recommend the seminal work regarding this topic by Lakos:

Large-Scale C++ Software Design[0]

The techniques set forth therein are founded in real-world experience and can significantly address large-scale system build times. Granted, the book is dated and likely not entirely applicable to modern C++, yet remains the best resource regarding insulating modules/subsystems and optimizing compilation times IMHO.

Not too quibble too much, but US Civil War soldiers were marching all over the eastern United States, not just for parades and pageants. They went through rough terrain, with no guarantee of supplies, and many soldiers ended up barefoot when their shoes fell apart. And many times they had to keep it up for days on end in order to escape or catch up to an enemy.
I hate to keep beating the dead horse-but you can do the same thing via MS’s Visual Studio Devops aka Visual Studio Online with a local build/deployment agent.
I'm not saying it's totally impossible to get rid of keyboards, but I feel this would require first significantly thinning down the amount of text that needs to be written, and the amount of abstract interactions with program that need to be done. The keyboard is very efficient in several criteria at the same time. Versus a 3D manipulation + verbal commands + weak AI, it's much more energy-efficient/ergonomic. Instead of waving your arms around in complex motions and talking a lot, you just have to move your fingers and wrists a little bit here and there. I know I can easily keep pounding at the keyboard for 8+ hours without much slowdown; I imagine that an interface of voice and direct manipulation would get one tired much quicker, if not mediated by another input device, or if the workload isn't reduced.

Now I was going to say that the trick is workload reduction, and that 'AI-glued boilerplate directed by voice' could just work by doing most of the task automatically, but then I realized: workload reduction doesn't work. As proved time and again in the last few centuries, as soon as you find yourself with extra free time due to some efficiency improvement, more work will be assigned to you to fill that time. You may not want it, your employer may not even want it, but someone over at a competing company thinks they can get ahead this way, and now everyone has to follow suit.
I don't understand that much awe. BitBucket offers unlimited private repos for up to 5 contributors, and GitLab has no limit. Much ado about nothing...
Tips from my experience

* Whatever you do, try to talk to customers (not friends) as early as possible, and try to keep them in the loop when taking critical decisions. Frequent feedback can keep you on the right direction and also not lose morale. (Nothing like a long release cycle to invite self doubt and other self destructing emotions.)
- Try to find the venues (online or offline) where people who can be potential customers hang out and interact.

Apart from other recommendations below:

I think it's really interesting how when we learn new things (such as this lesson about how the eye works) we often only learn them "halfway." E.g., obviously, you're not blind, and you see as far as you like- but your old sense of how sight works involved contact, and your new concept didn't fully rid you of the notion that contact was a limiting factor. Only because these two contradictory notions could coexist in your mind did you feel "blind."

Similarly, I've had people tell me that reading about the "microbiome" is really distressing, since afterwards they feel like they have some alien infestation in their bodies- as though they were full of bugs. On one level they learned a new thing, that healthy human bodies contain lots of various microorganisms, but some part of their psyche still maintained that any such creatures must be pathological. Their obvious health doesn't make them feel like microbiome theory is false, and nor does it fully convince them that their microbiome is benign.

There's probably a lot of more subtle examples of this, and it probably goes a long way to explain why so many people find science to be distressing or depressing.
List prices, like chargemaster. Yes, on one hand, insurance negotiates %x0 discount on it (but eg in the above case, my insurer, Anthem was -ostensibly- charged full price on it) . OTOH, see example above, whereby simple intervention of designating what specific service I will be taking upfront makes a 10x difference in prices. So, regardless of insurance, this transparency gives a serious lever for informed decision-making (whenever that's possible), and can be used additionally to price negotiation.
Even if Github doesn’t end up being a typical “social network”, this still allows Microsoft to push out the competition (Gitlab, Bitbucket) and become the de facto developer workbench in the industry. MS already released a hit with VSCode and won back a lot of street cred with developers who moved over from Atom/Sublime/etc. Having free private repos just makes sense in order to seal the deal with consumers, and migrate them over to the MS developer ecosystem. It’s very Google-esque. Github was already the ‘Chrome’ of the code repo world, and now it has a chance to pull further ahead. This is what MS wants, because now there is even less reason for users to look to migrate if what they used to have to pay for is now free.

I wasn't talking about David Duke now, I was illustrating that it's always worked like this by examining the well known historical case of David Duke's public career.

>Further, even an official can attend an exclusive private event, if they do so in their capacity as a private citizen...

This was the entire point of my post.

David Duke is free to be a guest speaker at any private event he chooses. Again, I think he'd even be encouraged to interact with constituents in this capacity. I would think any politician would be encouraged to interact with their constituents in this fashion. It only makes sense. Go to the county fair or the local Kroger or whatever and actually talk to people.

That some would have a problem with the beliefs of the constituents he chose to interact with does not constitute a problem for David Duke. He had a place people could go to see him for the public business of making comments or lodging complaints or whatever, and blacks were perfectly free to go there and do so.

That blacks couldn't go to the Klan rallies he spoke at was not a problem at all. It's not like he was at the Klan rally going over government business or something.
Well, this study didn't take into account hypertension, diabetes or obesity, so I'd wager no on the diet either.

> For example, it could not fully account for the effects of some other known Alzheimer's risk factors — including hypertension, diabetes and obesity — or some suspected risk factors, including stress and poverty. Also, the study included just 173 African-Americans and was able to obtain spinal fluid samples from only half of them.
Maybe someone who knows electronics better than me can chime in with corrections and/or correct terminology, but my impression is that USB PD doesn't lend itself to having a bunch of type-C ports that draw from a shared max power rating in the way that's common with USB BC devices. e.g. if you have a 100W brick, you're going to have five ports with 20W max, or one 60W port and four 10W ports, etc. (that is, each port is essentially an independent charger sharing a housing, and with the heat limitations of the shared housing)
Chinese Scientist Who Created CRISPR Babies Could Face the Death Penalty
Ugh. I hate this story. In every popular story I've seen of "this person died because they couldn't afford insulin", it's really been a case of "this person died because they couldn't afford the most expensive insulin, and they weren't willing to switch to the DRASTICALLY cheaper insulins available".

- The story I'm looking at now had someone complaining he couldn't afford his Lantus.

- Lantus is pretty much the most expensive 24 hour insulin available. Last I checked it was something like $275 per bottle.

- Walmart has cheaper insulins R, N(PH) for somewhere in the range of $20-25. They're older insulins and don't work as well, but they are an option for any diabetic that can't afford the newer insulins. (Note, I can't find it on Walmart's web site but, as I understand it, you can't but it online, so that may be why)

For context:

- My insurance doesn't cover Lantus either. I take a generic (to be fair, I don't believe that generic was available at the time of the story) version of it.

- I used to take R and N insulin
But he does explain why 'the pen' is better. He explains that his "nice" pen is a good way to honor important milestones of the company which in turns leads to better productivity. His argument is one of morale (i.e. 'honor important milestones with a tool worthy of said accomplishments builds morale, which is important for productivity.')

Whether you believe his argument or not is up to you, you're the customer. But he makes a well rationed and reasonable argument in a very short amount of time which is impressive. Not everything is sold on "speed and feeds" as they use to say in the old computer days.

Rebol and Red are meant to be easy on its surface, while still allowing more complex stuff if you dig deeper. Of course there is a catch - e.g. if you want to modify some GUI element or create one, you need to understand all the underpinnings. On the other hand - dialects are nice way of an interfacing. I don't want to sound bold, but why Java provided its FX, or Qt its QML? Simply because once you are working in certain domain, you don't need complex language constructs.

As for the Czech wizardry, I might put things into some context, myself being Czech, but far from being a wizard :-) It all stems from the Amiga heritage. Remember - Rebol was created by Carl Sassenrath, Amiga OS creator, and Czech community had kind of strong following to it. Red though, is more multinational, but so was Rebol too - maybe Czechs might be more vocal here or there, in terms of the community involvements. And that's just all.
That document is pretty good and relatively thorough. Interestingly enough, when I was working for a US company abroad, they used KPMG Global Mobility Services to help me with my taxes and relocation and all of that.

FEIE And Foreign Income Tax Credit are for different situations. In my situation initially, I would have taken FITC to try to avoid double taxation, but in my later situation I wanted to take FEIE but was ineligible and was also ineligible for FITC. Deciding which to take can actually be a complicated question.

I don't want to go into further detail on my situation, but I will say that things are greatly simplified if you go all-in on being an expat, without retaining any property in the US and you intend to limit travel outside the country you expatriated to.
