Elvis lost relevance with youth culture, gained weight and became a parody of himself. He was a one-trick pony (a white artist making the style of black music acceptable for a primarily white audience in a segregationist culture,) but inevitably rock as a genre and American culture as a whole evolved beyond his capabilities.

The Beatles, meanwhile, were constantly evolving and their style changed with the times, so they were able to stick around a bit longer.
I think you underestimate how complicated even simple machines are. Making lubricated ball bearings for example requires high quality steel, precision manufacturing and chemistry that is not trivial if you don't have access to oil.

Curious what you're still often using lodash for?
Yes, i would still classify the software defective. It did not reject backwards explicitly. Just because by accident it works (i.e., the consumer of the output doesn't care) doesn't mean the defect has gone away.

To be not defective, the software has to explicitly reject input that it was not designed to handle.

Imagine if the software updated with some changes, and the unknown input now produces an incorrect output. Is the defect introduced with the changes? Or was the defect always there?
That is a very negative viewpoint on marriage. We've been together for 14 years and I've been the only one with a job that entire time, and we've always shared the money.
That is indeed a good way to gain insight into consequences, but still you will have to make ambiguous decisions when formulating the measure of good healthcare—e.g., do you consider equality for rich and poor?—and when judging tradeoffs like those involved in budgeting tax revenue, etc.

We don't have an "abandoned cart" case (when users bounce, retargeting to every user seems a bad idea)

We ran retargeting campaigns for those who signed up but didn't make a purchase. However, the problem was rooted in activating within a platform (uploading at least one file).
This was one of my dad’s favorite sayings to me when I was growing up. “I don’t know, I fear what I don’t know, I hate what I fear, I seak to destroy what I hate” it was always presented in this rhetorical manner in first person and would always come up anytime there was a topic of ignorance, fear, hate, rage/war on the table of conversation. Needless to say, it was repeated a lot. In hindsight it definitely helped me build empathy towards others and illuminate the motivations of so many. Also it’s worth adding that it was never brought up as a condemnation nor an excuse for the actions of others.
(3) is fascinating and begs the question of how we discover these representations. I imagine - like science - it's a bit of theory, a bit of empiricism. Constantly tinkering with our theories and our data to evaluate if new models improve and reliably predict performance.

(7) is also interesting. Ambiguous success criteria is one problem. I'd also include delayed feedback and multivariate feedback loops. The longer the feedback loop, the more likely confounds can enter into the training regimen, rendering it harder to discern whether the new training ("treatment") actually has a significant effect. This is a problem in all fields: when we are trying to measure long-term results, it gets very difficult to decide whether any proposed intervention (new diets, new exercise regimens, new marketing campaigns) have any effect.
If you want USB, forget it. The best you'll get from a USB 3.1Gen2 > NVMe case is about 1GB/sec.

If you're willing (to pay) and able (to plug it in) to use Thunderbolt 3, there are several commercial products that use an NVMe internally and boast up to 2500MB/sec.
I think that Nix expression language is Turing complete. At least by the number of constructs, it seems so [1].

And while I think Nix language is kind of strange, there is at least one reason I prefer it instead of a Lisp (this being a person that uses Clojure everyday at work): no parenthesis.

It is not that I think Lisp is a bad language because of the parenthesis: I love the consistency and simplicity of the language. However, Lisp is one of the few languages that I don't feel productive at all without a proper editor setup (rainbow parenthesis, slurp, barf, etc.) and I think this is bad for configuration files since sometimes you simply don't have the proper setup.

I can easily edit /etc/nixos/configuration.nix in NixOS using only vi to bootstrap my system. I don't think it would be as easy to do the same using GuixSD.

Any idea of a higher-reply-rate channel to ask folks why they didn't sign up/activate/purchase?
Communist russia was much more then just healthcare or public schools. And it
did not got to the violence and oppression by having healthcare or public
schools. Complete conflation of socialism, its variants (including democratic
ones) and communism did not happened by random either.

Refusing to use names in this situation wont eliminate peoples fear, it will
merely make it impossible to talk about what they are afraid of. Good sounding
ideas can go real bad and it is good to learn from history. And I think that
one of lessons of Russia history is that if people who are violent before
gaining power or openly celebrate violence, they will be violent after.

Maybe it would be worth to talk also about Russia history and ideologies that
affected it as they were.
I've literally heard all of this before.

I've learned there's no point. I don't think fees for that are abnormal (have seen them and their handling of scenarios in operation in other countries to no big alarm) but it's against NHS dogma! Don't get me wrong, I like the NHS but there's seriously zealot-esque thinking towards it from many corners. It's not a case of "totally free" or the USA.

But as said, I'm an immigrant and have learned to keep quite on such matters.
That's why it's important to choose simpler systems. I've been having fun writing a Forth-based Z80 operating system for the TI-84+ calculator[1]. There isn't too many moving parts and there are many "toy" systems to learn from such as one that boots up to a smiley face[2]. It's all about choice of architecture.

One of the disadvantages they list is that recursive-descent parsers are harder to read than e.g. DSLs.

So the best of both worlds, it sounds to me, would be parser combinators: They're both native to the language, and they're DSLs. So there's only one set of syntax for the programmer, and they still compose declaratively as opposed to writing recursive parsers manually.

Of course they can. Check out Ansible. It's quite comparable to these systems, even if less pure and lacking some of the features.
> performance between different SSDs is basically unnoticeable

Spinning rust drives will likely give you up to ~110 MB/sec.

A SATA SSD will likely give you to up ~550 MB/sec, a 5x increase.

An NVMe SSD will double the write and quadruple the read speed of a SATA SSD, in 1/3 the size.

Yes, any SSD is likely good enough for your average user to feel like a computer is fast. If anything you do is even remotely heavy on I/O, more speed = better.

Motivation is directly linked to how much choice we have over it.

If we absolutely have to do that billing module, it's very demotivating. But if we, by choice, choose to do the billing module, it's much more motivating.

This is where Scrum either succeeds or fails. If a scrum master just decides to assign tasks for the week, the people doing them will be much less motivated. But scrum tricks the people doing the work into pulling it from the backlog, and choosing to work on it.

So somehow, you have to give yourself control over the project. Don't tell yourself you have to get it done. Look at it as a puzzle you want to solve, one where the documentation gives you hints, but not the solution. Be a hacker.
Second that. What counts is a personal gesture. A plain white card will do. Write it by hand and put an envelope around it. Don't worry about the text too much. Make it short and respectful. And don't try to be too original, which might come across as intrusive.
I have a question for GuixSD users here: I have a laptop with NVidia CUDA, TensorFlow, mxnet, Python, Julia, etc. installed.

Interesting comment. We tested different campaigns targeted at developer and business personas.
Initially, we started as a product for developers, and those folks can definitely find us themselves judging by Direct and Organic traffic volumes (word of mouth, etc.)
I'd also point that it was hard segmenting keywords between those personas, because for us a "business persona" is usually "code-aware": CTO, etc.
My thinking exactly.
It does slowly happen. There's a new `nix` command (a.k.a. Nix 2.0), which has a better CLI, though it's not yet 100% complete, I believe. But already useful (e.g. `nix search`).

Correct. Government surveillance is associated with authoritarianism. The axis between that and democracy is orthogonal to the one between left/communist and right/capitalist. Of the three largest economies, it's the most democratic one that has passed privacy-preserving laws like GDPR while the other two pass surveillance-enabling ones depite being at opposite ends of the left/right spectrum.
This. Especially fucking the corporate bureaucracy! I always enjoyed my work before I joined my current company and, with just how _corporate_ it is, it’s opened up the “where does my meaning come from if not work?” can of worms for me. I had quite a negative emotional reaction to the workplace at first but now I realise I have an opportunity to grow by finding meaning somewhere else in my life.

For reference I work at a large bank, so I suppose the availability/features of our systems/applications is not meaningless for our customers. That said there’s no way I can see my professional experience moving forward here. Maybe experience surviving in a corporate environment counts?

Anthropocene extinction. I'm sure the ecosystem will finally stabilize with a fraction of current amount of species. It so far always did in the past.

Not good enough, point to that which knows. Where is it? Who knows it? If there is a knower to that, where is it.. Keep going with this investigation and realize there is no knower, only knowing.

Eastern philosophy has nailed this thousands of years ago and we westerners are up to this day totally in the dark. We actively treat the I as a concrete object that really exists as an entity. It does not hold any closer examination and evaporates entirely the closer it is questioned.
yeah, that's also the case. another insight that we got is we should craft more content answering specific questions rather than advertising our landing page at every step of the Awareness Ladder
For political reasons the UK's TV license is collected by (a third party contractor on behalf of) the BBC, but the money doesn't actually go directly to the BBC, it goes to central government, they carve it up and send some to the BBC.

Lots of odd things are funded with this money, including for example local newspaper reporters at for-profit newspapers (!) but the name and forcing the BBC to actually collect it mean in the public consciousness it's all blamed on the BBC.

Now, Public Service Broadcasting is _distinct_ from having central government revenue funding a broadcaster as happens for the BBC. All UK terrestrial TV is "Public Service Broadcasting" and so are the old US TV networks. PSB means you're using up some finite public resource (radio bandwidth) and so you need to "give back" to the public. It's pretty common to require a daily news broadcast and to have other constraints "for the good of the public" e.g. a non-English country might require at least 10 hours per week of the local language even though viewers would really just prefer wall-to-wall imported soap operas in English or whatever.

As well as the internationally famous BBC, Britain also has "Channel 4" which owns the Film Production company Film4 that made or co-made films you've probably enjoyed (e.g. "Trainspotting", "12 Years a Slave"). Channel 4 is a PSB, but more importantly it's publicly owned. It operates more like a for-profit television company (e.g. advertising) except the money goes back into making TV and it has a publicly controlled mission to be er, challenging. So e.g. the BBC went "Hey, half the population are women, so it's crazy to have all these panel discussion shows with 6 men and no women. From now on, if your show has a panel discussion it needs either a woman or a sign-off explaining why there weren't any women" but C4 is the kind of place where they go "Hang on, there totally must be Muslim lesbians, right? Let's do a show about the Muslim lesbian dating scene, so there's this whole tolerance angle but also it has hot women kissing each other".
That sounds like a good thing to me to be honest
It's interesting that PSCP has this option:

-unsafe allow server-side wildcards (DANGEROUS)

and as explained in the doc (https://www.ssh.com/ssh/putty/putty-manuals/0.68/Chapter5.ht...),

"This is due to a fundamental insecurity in the old-style SCP protocol: the client sends the wildcard string (*.c) to the server, and the server sends back a sequence of file names that match the wildcard pattern. However, there is nothing to stop the server sending back a different pattern and writing over one of your other files"

I haven't used the Linux version much so I assumed it had the same option. PSCP has had this option for as long as I can remember. I guess no one bothered to look at scp, or as one of the other comments here notes, scp is overwhelmingly used with a server one already trusts.

GP appointments are 10 to 15 minutes long. Are missed appointments such a issue for GPs?

If someone doesn't show they move onto the next person.

Usually GPs have an issue in that appointments take longer than planned, so there's often waiting on the side of the patient.

Most GPs have appointments reserved to be bookable on the day if you call up in the morning.

What problem are you proposing a solution for?

I don't understand how people do refactoring without static typing. If I change a function parameter in Typescript then I get compiler errors for each use. Awesome. With plain Javascript I have to run the program and get it into executing all those different invocations and hope I get meaningful errors at runtime. A nightmare.

In my experience Javascript code bases end up being "add new code only", because changing anything is just too dangerous, because type errors are so hard to find. So after a while of several people working on the code base it just becomes a bloated spaghetti mess that cannot be untangled, because refactoring is nigh impossible.
