As I'm sure you know, there are two incentives for inflating piece counts. First, many people consider the number of pieces in the set a metric for its "size," and to them, "bigger is better."

So you get sets with over 5,000 pieces that could have been constructed with fewer, larger pieces, but the people buying the set actually feel some satisfaction from the piece count, so... win-win?

Secondly, many reviews of lego sets trot out a "price per piece" number as if you're buying pieces in bulk and get an instruction manual for assembling a set as a bonus. Smaller pieces make the set seem less expensive by that metric.

I dunno how to fix that problem. We'd need to find a better metric (price per stud? price per gram?) and somehow get everyone to start using that metric in their reviews.

For me personally, I find the whole exercise meditative, so if the set has several small pieces that could be one larger piece, that means I spend more time building the set, and at the end of the day, that's the experience I'm paying for.

My question would be whether they find a way to make the construction interesting, or in reverse, whether it is repetitive enough to be relaxing. There are a lot of subjectives around that.

My son built the Saturn V and loved every moment of it. If you didn't love working with small pieces that could have been replaced with larger bricks... I 100% accept that it was not an ideal experience for you. The pleasure of the build is subjective in many ways, we just have general heuristics to go by.
This is described as "like Chrome Secure Shell", but the major difference is that with the Chrome Secure Shell application, the ssh client runs in the browser, so it's actually secure; where as Shellvault is an architected (by design) man-in-the-middle attack.

Advice: if you can use Chrome Secure Shell, you should do so.

Nim const are compile-time constants, it's completely different from C++ const.

I don't agree on immutability, just like you have shallow copy and deep copy, you have shallow immutability and deep immutability.

Also functional programming also distinguish pure (Haskell, Idris, ...) and impure functional programming (Ocaml, ...).

Allowing side-effect through reference doesn't mean that a language is hostile to functional programming. It just means that it does not enforce purity.
I don't particularly think so. The amount of my time that systemd has wasted is insane. Buying a mac would have saved me all that time... if only I liked their hardware more.

Unfortunately you're still sending a lot of data across the wire, so even though your intentions are pure, you've still opened a door to immense data collection for an app that bills itself as "privacy centric". If you passed your data to a third party for storage (Netlify for instance), they could glean an immense amount of information.
> Its syntax strongly favors cuteness over familiarity.

Funny, I recently made a stack switch from Ruby to Python, and I had the exact opposite impression. Ruby coding style/syntax tends to favor convention over configuration (at least in terms of Rails setup), while Python to me seems less so.

Ruby also seems to me a bit more consistent across it's versions. One of the biggest gripes I've had about Python so far is how many things are broken across various versions of the language, and the odd way some issues have been handled (having two distinctly different types of strings with distinctly different syntax according to encoding for instance). Perhaps Ruby simply doesn't offer familiarity to you individually.

I'm more comfortable with Ruby as I used it much longer, so I may be biased, and I am not shitting on Python either. It has things I don't particularly dig, but that may be my own bias. Both languages have their pros and cons, and both are certainly viable as scripting languages in this particular epoch of programming.
>There's no clear rhyme or reason to the use of sigils and keywords.

You have trouble with the use of sigils in Ruby? That seems like an odd complaint. I would have expected you to complain more about MINWAN.
Businesses generally make decisions on economic interest aligning with incentive structure. It is not personal.

Victims are specifically targetted, or some sort of personal boundary is violated. It can get very personal.

We might sometimes talk about someone being a victim of an impersonal force. For example, someome being injured as a result of a tsunami. However, excessively attaching to the narrative of being a victim can prevent someone from continuing their grieving process and moving on with their life.

That is not to say it cannot happen in the business world ... but I doubt that is the case here.
I need to run /usr/bin/expect from one of the init.d scripts. That breaks with systemd. Moving that box to Devuan (no systemd) fixed the issue. The alternative was to rebuild that particular application without systemd. So far systemd hasn't brought me anything particularly useful. I've never had any issues with getting things working (pre-systemd), and one of my pre-systemd laptops boots from power off to fully graphical in five seconds, so I don't buy the argument I hear from some that systemd is necessary for reducing boot-up time.
Would be grateful for a reaction from anyone who might have insight.
The value is in dealing with the messy stuff
At least for Debian, technical committee (elected by the community) could not choose between systemd and upstart [0], so systemd was the final winner. There was overwhelming desire that sysvinit should go.

And when this question was brought to general election, community decided it did not care: [1]

So I am not sure who those "important people" were, why do you feel they did not represent you, and what would community choose, in your opinion.

I, having worked with upstart, can say it is worse than systemd.

Core Principles of Continuous Delivery
If you’re literally just eating pizza, fried chicken, and Coca Cola it seems like you might be missing out on some essential vitamins and minerals.

There’s also the concept of “skinny fat” but if you’re doing stuff like weightlifting I’m not sure that can happen.

Why not make a doctors appointment and have them test your blood and physical response if you’re concerned your diet may be damaging?
Sorry you had such a bad time with OpenBSD. It isn't top of the heap when it comes to performance but there are benefits that balance it out.

On the Linux front, I've been using Void and it has been pretty fantastic. Runit is the default init. It is a more hands-on distro (think Arch 10 years ago), but it's fast, slim, and doesn't have systemd.
Having to work full time for a salary to live a middle class life feels like unbounded indentured servitude sometimes. We have significant benefits over historical indentured servitude but the freedom is still lacking. 40+ hours of my week, including prime creative hours, for potentially 45+ years of my life are given to my employer so I can live in a decent house, buy healthy food, pay for my family's needs, travel once or twice a year, etc. I am giving up time/energy I'd rather give to my family and creating art/innovative technologies from the thousands visions and ideas I have every year. My situation, though far from unique, is one I've gotten myself into. Getting out now requires me to put my personal desires aside for many years, maybe decades, while working to become wealthy enough to hopefully enjoy true freedom while I am still young and energetic. Who knows if that will pan out. The alternatives are lower pay, more "free" time, or intermittent bursts of high pay/free time. Neither of those are freedom (fiscal autonomy) in my mind, only an illusion of it. I could talk about this all day but I'll stop there...
How is that fair? If in a bad year, your assets lose value, you are still paying a tax, that defies logic to me.

> a license where something is free for noncommercial or limited commercial usage, and premium otherwise.

That's basically what Mongo have switched to. Unfortunately, this broke other bits of community, because playing with licenses is actually not that easy.

My point is that, maybe, we need a new license that can reflect the changed times. GPL 3 wanted to be that license, but it doesn't look like it succeeded. The new licenses attempted piecemeal by this or that company (like Mongo) will always fail to cut it, because the are typically not written by people with significant experience and knowledge in this particular field (license-writing).

Maybe it's time for interested companies and expert stakeholders (FSF etc) to come together and try to agree on something that could move us all forward.

> Functional languages are great toys but nobody uses them to get work done, almost without exception.

Just because you don’t use functional languages for serious commercial work and don’t personally know anybody who does, doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t too. Plenty of us use functional languages for serious commercial work, now or in the past. I’ve persobally used ClonureScript and know plenty of people who use Clojure. I know people who use Haskell. Jane Street famously use OCaml. Lots of people use Scala. Clearly an IBM team uses Elm. I mean, the article itself is a counter example to your statement.
>I think that's questionable and downplays his abilities. He won National Merit Scholarship. He scored 1590 out of 1600 in SAT.

I think you underestimate how much a proper background can help you in terms of admissions to elite schools. I know someone that scored a 1600 out of a 1600 on their SAT, but came from more of a modest background than Bill. They were denied from Harvard. Harvard receives plently of high SAT scoring, high achieving applicants. Smart people from poor backgrounds have a lot more to overcome in life to get to the same point as others with more resources. A head start with a secure background can make a large difference later in life. I'm sure if my friend didn't go to one of the worst high schools in the state, and went to a better STEM school, they could have been admitted to Harvard. Who knows how that would have changed their life for the better. Now we will never know.
What is the performance overhead for using these flags?
Agreed. Like how Digital Ocean lists their storage as S3-compatible. Amazon's on the other end of it there, Amazon's product's APIs have been copied and a competitor uses Amazon's product name in the competitor's marketing.

Digital Ocean is not advertising that they're AWS S3, just that they're S3 compatible. Like a processor that's x86 compatible, even though it's not actually an Intel 386, 486, etc. Like when computers used to advertise they were IBM compatible even though they're not an IBM PC. Like when store brands of toothpaste say "comparable to Colgate FreshWhite" but they're obviously not Colgate. Like when a startup calls themselves "Uber for horse rental" even though they're obviously not Uber.

> After World War II, Czechoslovakia, the predecessor of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, acting to seize what they considered to be German possessions, expropriated the entirety of the Liechtenstein dynasty's hereditary lands and possessions in Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia which compose the Czech Republic. The expropriations (which were the subject of an unsuccessful court case brought by Liechtenstein in the German courts and the International Court of Justice) included over 1,600 km² (which is ten times the size of Liechtenstein) of agricultural and forest land mostly in Moravia, also including several family castles and palaces.

Yup.

I'm so grateful for the parent commenter who looked at the VoxEU source, because it helped put things into perspective.

A 5% earning increase isn't too surprising, given that the land claims and other investments are still respected today. It's a bit like Fry's bank account on that early Futurama episode. Those 600 years were a battle between compounding interest and regional turmoil/uncertainty. It's pretty cool that the holdings still have a legacy while not stifling all social mobility.
Both can be correct - some number of folks do use them, but they are vanishingly small in the sea of developers out there.

I'm not sure a private-sector restructuring is exactly the right frame for left policy change, since the whole point of these changes is to refocus ourselves away from the tyranny of constantly optimizing for productivity instead of happiness. Also, even in a successful corporate restructuring, there is pain all around (layoffs and capital losses) before there is any gain to anyone. This is the hallmark of disastrously unsuccessful left policies like the Cultural Revolution, where tons of people suffered but there was no real gain to anyone except perhaps a small minority of Party members for decades. In my view, a successful left policy change should make a minority "suffer", while almost everyone else benefits or, even better, make everybody better off with outsized gains to the worst off.

I'm not advocating a revolution, and meant to bring it up as one limit of left policy change. This exact problem (radical changes to relationships during a revolution destroying lots of wealth) is why I think a Russian-style revolution is a bad idea, unless the revolutionaries are making the conscious choice to create a post-revolution society that is drastically poorer than the pre-revolution one. I don't think most people (except extreme radicals) would support this goal. Any socialist revolution would therefore have to downplay or ignore this fact in order to succeed, which is precisely what happened in places like Russia, China, and Cuba in the 20th century. (To be fair, the Russians were the first to try this, so they didn't have anyone else to look at and learn this lesson.)

That doesn't mean incrementalist left policies don't have to grapple with the problem though. Single-payer healthcare, for example, would probably reduce the amount of wealth in society, since most of the value in private healthcare firms comes from the current structure of the healthcare market. A leftist should be OK with this and support single-payer anyway because most people will gain.
Yes, there's no doubt that he was very skillful. The point the other commenters are making is that that isn't everything
To be fair electric cars are still very much in their infancy. We are talking about 2-3% of all cars on the road.

Why would a charger off the highway in the middle of nowhere be a destination charger? Also, isn't this a mode that could be configured, with the charger supplying more juice if requested?

I once went on a tour through a lava tunnel in Iceland. Part of the tour was where the guide dimmed all the lights. The feeling of total darkness was quite strange. The guide said that if we would stay in this darkness for a month our eye muscles would atrophy and we would become blind.

I would expect Alati to at least feel a little physical effect from his stay in darkness.
Freeloader on open source software is someone who runs profit by selling it to a major market without contributing back to the project.

Why? Because the freeloader increases the demand side for the software (more users translate to more feature requests, more bug reports), without increasing the supply side (resources for people who work it).

This puts pressure onto the project that is hard to sustain in the long term and MongoDB took a step to fight it.
How to make a video from text??
I want to make a project on WebSite that will create a video. The video will be created using text because in my project text will be taken from somewhere else.

var isn't useless, it indicates mutability.
Interesting perspective! And it makes some sense.
True, but those are areas that few people go anyway. I would expect signs alerting me to the fact that gas is not available ahead - and I also expect I would never actually travel those roads.
In this case, the new entity is a limited liability company and the old entity is a sole proprietorshio with no liability protection. Part of the protection comes from acting as if the limited liability entity is a legal “person”. Failure to do so can be used by creditors to “pierce the veil”.

There is usually some sort of document transferring the assets of the sole proprietorship into the C-corp or LLC in return for shares for membership interest, as part of the capitalization.

Perhaps talk to a CPA or a lawyer about all of this ...
I don't think 'A/B testing every variable' is conventional advice in any sense.

I think what the post above yours is trying to say is that the company I work for has no say what I do with my 8 hours of sleep time. If I want to only sleep for 4 hours but I come to work and get my job done, who cares? It is my time anyway and they aren't paying me to sleep so why should they have a say? If my work is suffering, sure, they have a right to fire me but if I get my work done in the 8 hours, they have no say over the other 16.

Privacy is not one dimensional issue. Improving privacy towards some goal may reduce privacy against some other goal.

For example: Mass surveillance and targeted surveillance are different privacy scenarios. Mass surveillance becomes ineffective when it becomes too expensive to identify people in the large scale even if they are not secure against targeted surveillance.

If CIA mass surveillance is your concern, good VPN, Tor and other privacy tools puts you into their radar faster than buying second laptop to do your private stuff without any privacy tools. Targeting and deanonymizing just just few million privacy conscious people using Tor justifies more work per user than large scale mass surveillance of billion people.

Anyone using Tor or good VPN will be be in the much smaller pool of users who CIA/NSA may not be able to identify quickly but who they are interested in knowing better.

If you want to avoid Facebook and other commercial trackers, VPN combined with good tools goes a long way.
