I know you don't have rust in CA but if they had a $1k fine where I live that would be just a massive slap in the face to poor people driving old cars (the exhaust rusts out and you don't know until it happens). I get that making cars more expensive is popular in certain places but unfortunately the reality is that a ton our infrastructure is based around them and the negative consequences of hidden costs like this are greater than then gain from forcing a few people to give up driving because they can't afford it.
I don't think that would be enough.
At the end of the article I linked the paper "Code staging in GNU Guix" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.00833) which explains why 2 stages of code execution are so central in Guix.
In practice, this means that a Turing-complete language (Scheme) is used both at the declaration level and the build level. Lots of packages make use of this feature, it brings tremendous flexibility to packaging.

I'm not a biologist, but, if there's less bees, wouldn't that also mean there's less pollination done by them which would reduce the amount of seeds produced which in turn reduces the amount of plants?
Very British comment, this is :) As a Romanian living in London, I find the parts of the public transport I used so far to be at least good enough.

I'm travelling, fairly often to Essex, from London to Colchester and I find the trains to be clean enough, plenty of space most of the time, including when I go there on Friday evenings. From Colchester I usually take a bus to Brighlingsea and I find those buses to be clean, comfortable, cheap and you even can pay with a contactless card. They are not too often, but I get the why. I could say the same for my travels south, to Southampton. With the trainline app, I don't even have to queue to pick up my tickets, most of the time.

London wise, I use mainly the North Line and Victoria and while sometimes they are crowded, I don't find that to be terrible annoying. I think the only time I was pissed at tfl was before a Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge, when they barely had trains going to Wimbledon, from Earl Court and I missed the start of the game. Dully noted and since then I made my way to the Bridge with time to spare, just in case, for some reason those overpriced hot dogs taste really good.

I get it that if you use some of the public transport daily, the sore points will stick out, but I am really curios to know what you would call the Romanian public transport, if the uk one is appalling (really, what's worse than appalling?)
How to Interview Software Developers: learn from my failure
just push the whole thing into the pacific... probs be alright, right?
Apple phones are relatively standard hardware with good software and a (unjustifiably?) high price tag.

In some ways, I wish this were the case. But my reading is that Apple's custom processors are still far ahead of the competition, and last time I looked it was hard to match Apple's fit and finish, especially if you are looking at anything other than the very top of the Android market. And for something that you keep in your pocket and handle regularly, a feeling of solidity is worth something.

It's a tragedy that you can't buy an iPhone with an unlocked bootloader. There's some interesting potential for innovation there.

(This is even more true in some other market segments. The hardware for the last couple of generations of Apple Watch is amazing, and that makes OS-imposed limits on what third party apps can do tragic).
I'm not usually one to ad hominem like this, but IMO you cannot both posit to give advice on good frontend engineering and fiddle with window.onScroll.
Azul and Patchwork seem really good.

Thanks for the suggestions! :)
I am starting to improve my writing skills, I'd love any thoughts/feedback
Thus, one of the many reasons why you'll pay less for non-Apple computers.
I'm sort of on the boundary there. I didn't have a cell phone until I moved away from home for school. I had occasional access to dial up Internet as a kid, but I still remember plenty of afternoons spent at the library.
I live on a hill with a busy intersection at the bottom. I get to listen to trucks with jake brakes going down the hill and people accelerating out of the intersection. I don't exactly live somewhere high class so vehicles with rusted out exhausts and Civics with fart cans abound. It doesn't bother me one bit. You get used to it.

It's people in gated communities and quiet suburban neighborhoods where there is rarely much noise who complain about noise because the baseline amount of noise they experience is so low that every single loud noise is highly noticeable.
Instead of a pro-scheme rant one could interpret it also as a NixOS pitch using a scheme API instead of a DSL.
I've seen extreme programming work well in some situations, but I've seen it not work in some others...

In my current project we're three people: the owner, front-end dev and back-end dev. We don't really have a methodology other than having a daily call at the same time every day and discuss what needs to be done and any issues we're having. We also have Slack and if there's something urgent we jump on a call. I would say it's worked well so far.

But IMO with smaller teams it's way easier than with larger teams.

>I wonder what that would take. What the smallest amount of shipments and time would be. Would guess that electronics would be one of the last things you'd learn to make yourself.

If I recall correctly the number quoted from E. Musk on an early Mars colonization presentation was 2 cargo ships per full colonist ship. But that's only for being water/air/food/energy self-sustained. The assumption is that large shipments of high-tech products will continue for a while. Maybe something like solar panels/basic air turbines can be produced on the spot provided with either the raw material or mining equipment. The same probably goes at least for simple electronics( like e.g. various sensors for monitoring the colony), lots of appliances can be made in a crude way( think stoves, furnaces, maybe fridges?).
BItwarden does offer the ability to use on-premise hosting [1] rather than using their infrastructure to store/sync your data. Admittedly, I personally use their infrastructure so I can’t speak to the experience (config/maintenance/etc.) of their self-hosted offering.

This is probably exactly why they only sell to OEMs. And a select few at that.
I guess I disagree as I much prefer Ramdas style over Lodash.. Is your concern about performance? Because I don't think it would be a massive improvement over JS code.
> We didn't have to buy into an entirely new ecosystem of JavaScript development. Dropping Babel for tsc (TypeScript compiler) was scary because it wouldn't give us the flexibility

This shouldn't really have been an issue. It's always possible to not do any transpilation and leave it to another tool
My take on this is that some lessons are hard won and that while "reason" and "logic" all sound like excellent concepts, there is also an experiential factor that sets ideas in stone for generations. "Ideology" is an accusation more than it is anything else. I say this as someone who fervently supports our Bill of Rights in the face of a massive assault on it by those who use phrases like "common sense" and make appeals "for the children" when in fact those rights were delivered in blood and will probably have to be again.

I watch repugnantly while the masses allow the ultra wealthy to turn them back into serfs.
This isn't a trash comment- this is exactly what I needed to read after reading this article. Thank you!
GDPR for Cloud Software Providers
Apple is probably hoping to run Swift on their servers. I don't foresee them putting in the effort into enterprise sales and service to make Swift overtake Java, though -- it hasn't really been their MO in the past.
Yes, the SSH flow is completely broken and, therefore, in reality only really protects against passive snooping. I have never met a real human, in real life, who ever checked the host key on first connect.

For what it’s worth: The way to solve this is require the host key fingerprint as an argument to the ssh command, along with host and user. This would force people to look it up.

This is not a popular opinion, but I think it’s inescapable: SSH was not made for humans.

(This is purely a client issue, by the way. But at the end of the day: does that matter for anyone?)

(Edit: when this comes up people often mention key based auth. Unfortunately, that relies on nobody else having your public key. You can find mine anywhere, it used to be available through the GitHub api , even. It won’t let the attacker connect to the original server but they can definitely impersonate it. Perhaps get your key agent forwarded, and continue. Not great.)
> If you have evidence of a crime on your phone, it must be part of the process.

Then access it. If you can't access, do good police work and (legally) acquire access to it. If the entire success of your case hinges on convincing someone to incriminate themselves by giving you the password, build a better case before arresting them or tipping them off to the investigation.

> Ultimately, this will be no different than searching your car.

This can be done 100% with the accused's intervention. A LEO can see something that gives them probable cause for a warrant. A locksmith can open the car or the LEO can simply break the window and unlock it.

Just because the police don't have the technical ability to get into a phone without the user's intervention doesn't mean that person should be forced to divulge information that could incriminate them.
When it significantly impacts the daily lives of uneducated Americans.

Educated people around the world already want to do something. Uneducated people outside America already want to do something (because their governments are on board.) It is uneducated Americans -- and their president -- that is going to do us all in.

This means the survival of the planet depends on our ability to communicate with and convince uneducated Americans. That's hard. Al Gore tried long ago with his movie.
If that was feasible then they would already have SQL Server and Oracle APIs offered using their own tech instead of buying other vendors. Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL still uses the open-source code layer on the top and just switches out the storage engines, and it's most likely the same here by using parts of actual MongoDB with a different storage engine.
> the side of London bridge which faces Tower Bridge had a high crime rate

I wonder if that's a function of the traffic level (it's a lot busier than the other side in peak) as much as tourists taking photos?
I have an unexplainable fascination with that CPU too. A couple years ago I picked up an old workstation with two PPro 200 (256k). The 168pin EDO RAM is very hard to come by these days, especially as the manual says my machine accepts unbuffered RAM only, and most EDORAM listings on ebay back then didn't even bother say whether they are or not.

I've read elsewhere that Pentium Pros have been bought up left and right during the last decade or so since they have a lot of gold content, which is kind of sad from a nerd's perspective. I'd like to have a matching pair of the 1MB model, but they're super rare and crazy expensive if they pop up at all. The 512k ones are still available, but most sellers nowadays advertise these CPUs for their gold content, so they don't bother to list details like the stepping, which you'd want to know if you're building an SMP system.

Regarding the article, it was a great read, although I couldn't really understand why they were going for Win2003 instead of Win2000. Getting it to work seemed to take several months; finding older versions of the software you'd want to run sounds like a much simpler solution, just like they mentioned for WinRAR. I guess it was one of these "because I can" decisions. :-)
That's recursive reasoning because a child also eats, travels by car and by airplane.

It's also equivalent to saying: Kill yourself because you cause 58.6t CO2 (unless children cause more CO2 than adults which would be absurd because children don't take a lot of emission-relevant decisions)

Peripeteia in modern Greek means simply "adventure".
I can imagine a future where what's true generally describes itself (like terraform on drugs for software :p) Imagine software that is fully self descriptive and would no longer require engineers to individually interpret what's happening because the software would tell us. The system would be a graph of every single component and all possible connections between them, and all variants of each component and state that it could be in. When we introduce a change we would be aware with perfect information about the affect to the states and the paths between them.

In the example the Mental Model was at a level too shallow, it should have only affected the paths between the autofocus and the user. But the bug necessitated a larger mental model (the author was considering too small subsection of the graph).

I'd hope in the future we could reach a state where the program could have detected that the frame refactor would have an affect on the autofocus and all other components instead of being an implementation detail.
The Thames Path is another beautiful way to see the Thames, albeit to the west of London rather than in London itself.

App is very nice and simple indeed. I've been using it for a couple of months now without any issue. If author reads this - thank you!
I haven't really experienced that but if I had, that would make me quit on the product. I use it on my MacBook and Hackintosh Desktop, and perhaps there's lag on other platforms but I haven't used them.
One of the reasons to establish off-world colonies is to allow persistence of the species in the event of a catastrophy making the Earth unlivable. Given the history of extinction events found in archaeology this isn't an entirely unreasonable thing to plan for.

In that frame, a colony that can't survive (or has a reduced chance of survival) is of lower utility than one that can be effectively independent.
I'm guessing this is on a one way road? With traffic driving on the left you'd normally want to look right to check you're not stepping into oncoming traffic (although you should probably check both ways on a normal zebra crossing as you'll be crossing traffic in both directions).
> Flow feels like something they needed in Facebook and they happened to open source

This is how most Facebook tools feel to me. It makes me afraid to use them. React is possibly an exception, but again -- too afraid to use it because Facebook's open-source offerings seemed to have only selfish goals in the past and often seem to be full of important bugs.
This makes sense. Thank you for clarifying!
> does that imply that you don't have any process or provisions to train up juniors

If they don't: that's fine. It's better to not hire juniors if you aren't able to provide the mentorship they require than hire them anyway into an organisation that will fail them.
20 years here (in this stint) and I've never seen it but I do tend to avoid crowded places (social anxiety) except when peak travelling.

I do know people who've been moped'd and mugged - never suffered either myself (although I apparently have a "resting hate scowl" according to my sister which scares people away.)
Yeah. It sounds like a euphemism to me. Like "I want to do something that's at best ethically murky because I'm trying to not have to work for a buck." It doesn't help that the only people I hear use this term are mercenary SEO types that litter the web with ad-loaded junk-sites in their free time.
No more than having it in your pocket when you get arrested, or it being in the apartment that you share with nobody else, etc.
My eleven year old son thinks this looks totally cool. And so do I!
The reason why regular people live in London is that there are money to be made and they tough it out expecting better days, getting on the property ladder, retirement, the next holiday and so on.

As bang for your buck, the quality of life in London is abysmal and easily surpassed by almost any European capital. It only makes sense if you are upper-middle class or employed in a very competitive field - from that point then yes, London has things to offer that few cities can.
So according to NASA https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/198600... plants cannot grow in a hard vaccum, but they require only a very little oxygen pressure to grow.

Depressurisation is somewhat survivable: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20927953-500-vacuum-o... but dehydration starts to happen. Vaccum is a very effective dessicant.
You're right, I removed misleading information from the article. Thank you for your comment.

When I flew a Phantom 4 to 150 feet, it was basically invisible and totally silent. I’m guessing you’re thinking of much larger drones?
> found that its Typescript support is pretty far behind VSCode

This isn't (can't be?) true. Both editors use the same language server. I've used both and found their language support to be identical, and WebStorm feels a little more natural to me when using automated refactoring.

I also have both eslint and tslint set up through WebStorm, so I have everything integrated in one place: hinting, linting, compiler warnings, and compiler errors.

VS Code can do the same, as far as I know. I just prefer WebStorm for other reasons.
You could imagine it driving you nuts, in my experience trips are rare (once every few years?) unless you love space heaters. Electric ranges (hobs?) run on their own dedicated 240V circuit. As a tradeoff, the plugs are small and convenient; I can fit a phone charger in my pocket, plus the phone and cable—true in Europe, but not the UK. I can also get a power strip with 8 outlets and it won’t take up much space.

A couple days ago I tripped a circuit breaker for the first time in many years. It turns out that the refrigerator shares a circuit with the rest of the kitchen, so when I ran a rice cooker and deep fryer off the same circuit, when the compressor turned on it tripped.
Ealing has some upmarket areas.

For the roughest and poorest areas try Harlesden, Tottenham, or Edmonton. (Or don't, because they're dangerous.)

That's not a complete list, but they'll certainly give visitors a different view of London.

I've come to accept the fact that we've already lost the game.

I have a friend that is extremely optimistic and thinks we will figure things out, like fusion, 'because we need to' but I'm far more pessimistic.

This year, based on previous years, we will probably hit 35 gigatons of carbon emissions and it won't be long before we hit 40 gigatons. Even if a fleet of alien ships appeared in orbit today and was like "we're going to give you 20,000 fusion reactors and we should have them all operational by the end of March, this will replace all of your power needs with much room for growth" we'd need to find some miraculous way to begin sequestering tens of gigatons of carbon a year on top of what the earth can naturally do to begin to retard the damage we've done and it would take us 15-20 years to make a significant reduction in carbon that we've added since the industrial revolution.

Then we'd still have a planet lousy with microplastics that are now in the air and water. A recent study found microplastics in all participants fecal matter, on multiple continents.

Then to borrow from Loyd Blankenship in his The Conscience of a Hacker " You build atomic bombs,
you wage wars, you murder, you cheat, and lie" so even if we solve our power issue, solve our carbon generation issue, summon a miracle to deal with the microplastics, make rapid advances in land management and sustainable food production, then we still have the fact that by nature humans are full of hate, full of prejudice, we are flawed with greed and the desire to wage war.

Add to that the middle class is shrinking, the lower class is growing, even a measly billionaire worth exactly 1 billion dollars has a net worth equal to 16,937 years of the MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME of the United States with Forbes estimated in 2017 that there were 2,208 billionaires in the world and we are quickly on our way to seeing a trillionaire in the next couple of decades most likely...

Then student loan debt. A friend expressed to me yesterday that she "is better off dead" as she's been trying to refinance her student loans (2 bachelors degrees, different fields, decided teaching wasn't for her and pivoted to nursing) because after a year of trying to refinance the MINIMUM monthly payment is more than double what she's paying now if she consolidates and that she fully believes she will be servicing her student loans for the rest of her natural life because she's looking at 6 figures of debt that only continues to grow from interest.

I suspect this comment will be severely downvoted but my opinion stands. The world is truly and duly fucked. Barring miracle-aliens or an unprecedented number of miraculous inventions by dozens or hundreds of individuals in a very short time period, the ship is sinking.

Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.
They are licensed market pitches, the fee includes cleanup and the local council will come in the night and clear away all the debris and hose it down. There are many markets like this in London, Ridley road market in Hackney is infamous for having a meat stall that was caught selling bush meat from endangered species[0] and there was supposedly a case where human meat was found in the 1990s although I cant find an reference. Apparently the bin men get paid danger money for cleaning this market!

When I lived on a busy intersection, the noise level was always there, it just became background.

When I lived near a flightpath, the sound of airlines was regularly there, and it also just became background.

I now live in a very quiet area, and every passing motorbike is a disturbance.

Then again, the other thing that's changed is my age and expectations of life. Whether or not that's related or not, I dunno.
there's a wider range of elvis impersonators, and people can love dressing up like him for whatever reason. it's easier to do that when it's a single person.

there are beatle groups - some just focus on music, some do the theatrical angle (suits/accents/etc). there's not as many partially because it's hard to be just a 'ringo' on your own - you need the group (I guess that goes just as well for real life, not just the imitators!)
