College doesn't necessarily make people more productive. Rather it acts as a filter to knock unproductive people out of the hiring pool. And in economics terminology, completing a degree acts as a signal for candidates to demonstrate intelligence and persistence to employers.

Tl;dr: Trello is too simple for most real projects so they built a lot of features into their competitor that make it look an awful lot like Jira or any other fully fledged ticket management app.
For what it's worth I think these are decent questions to ask, even if others think they're worthy of a downvote.

As far as I understand it: it doesn't necessarily compile in that sense. You are constructing an 'image', which is basically a living environment that your program runs in, and maybe it corresponds somewhat to a VM. But you're not really treating the code that the VM runs as separate to the VM itself.

In some sense I think you might map it to something like a Lisp machine, where you can interact with a running program and its state through a REPL.

Someone more knowledgeable might be able to elaborate on that (or correct the misunderstandings), but it felt worth offering something other than a straight up dismissal of your question.
And more immigration is exacerbating that problem further. I think we should link immigration to unemployment numbers.
Teaching data science with puzzles
I read somewhere that in Germany it is (or was) traditional to "luften" the rooms of a house every day by opening the windows for a while to let fresh air in (even in the winter). After hearing about this I started doing it myself, and I feel like it's improved the experience of working from home. Even when the subzero temps descend on my city in the next few days, I'll open a few windows for a while just to make sure the air stays fresh.
I did not used Lutris in a while, so let me ask if this features that I use are present now:

- installing different wine versions

- run an exe in the selected profile

- open a linux shell in the selected profile

- setting command line arguments from GUI

- setting command to run before app starts

- open winecfg, the registry for selected profile

I do not run popular games, so I do not need the Lutris scripts, though once I read one such script and run the steps manually

Lutris may be better for newbs that do not need the features I mentioned.
For people who don't know what Proton is:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton

> Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

> Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.

> Most users will prefer to use Proton provided by the Steam client itself. The source code is provided to enable advanced users the ability to alter Proton. For example, some users may wish to use a different version of Wine with a particular title.
I don't want all my pipes to be magical all the time, but occasionally I do want to write a utility that is "pipeline aware" in some sense. For example, I'd like to pipe mysql to jq and have one utility or the other realize that a conversion to json is needed in the middle for it work.

Im working on a library for this kind of intra-pipeline negitiation. It's all drawing-board stuff right now but I coobbled together a proof of concept:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/495338/146169

Do you think this is a reasonable way to achieve the magic that some users want in their pipelines? Or are ancient Unix gods going to smite me for tampering with the functional consistency of tools by making their behavior different in different contexts?
Thanks for the feedback!

I was indeed trying to explain something technical (i.e. a tunneling service) in a non-technical way in an attempt to be friendly towards designers, but it seems like I still have some work to do on the product page.

Can someone explain me what sort of philosophical research is undertaken in areas such as "math", "set theory", "quantum physics" or "spacetime", or "recursion theory". Wouldn't a person researching that be a mathematician/physicist?
I seem to recall Pharo was used in logistics somewhere. Plus, here are some more stories: https://pharo.org/success
Aside from the project itself (which I admittedly did not look at particularly closely), I can't help but wonder why authors choose a name that is already clearly in use [1]. Obviously picking a name is hard. Picking a name that is unique across the whole Interwebz is significantly harder. However, picking a name that is already in use in the tech sector just strikes me as strange.

What I would have loved though is if they named the project "etcd" or "Serf", since those projects deal with finding consensus of rather a different kind ... :)

[1]: https://www.consul.io/

EDIT: well, this project had its first commit back in July '15. Hashicorp's Consul changelog goes back to April '14. So I suppose at the time this project was conceived it's not unreasonable to consider that few people knew of Hashicorp's Consul.

For software targeting more advanced users and with limited dependencies, I agree. But if your software has large shared runtime requirements, is expected to be used by simple users expecting an icon, has non-trivial installation checks, etc, an installer is the way to go.
Thanks for the feedback, that makes a lot of sense. I'll be more clear about pricing on the main page.

Depends on what kind of a life phase you are in. If you are doing insanely well at this point in time, a recession would reset and good days could come to an end.

If you are having a bad time already, you would be hoping for a some turnaround moment to see if it changes anything.

Basically its the It will pass frustration/joy applied to scenarios. If you are having a good time now, being told It will pass will likely sadden you. If you are having a bad time, being told It will pass will cheer you up.

Honestly, do I like the Gold/Ultimate/etc. editions? Not particularly (I can stomach it better if there is a minus core game cost upgrade package so I can buy the core and then if I decide I do like the game, upgrade after), but I'm not totally against increasing cost.

You've got games like Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc. that are basically epics: you could play them for months (amount of time spent gaming dependent). They're not epic naturally, the teams that put them together made them that way. So in that sense, I feel like you'd still come out okay shelling out for a game like that.

Likewise, graphical fidelity is approaching insane levels. Sure, applications assist in this, but at the end of the day, the developer is still spending a ton of time getting various things right visually. As such, I don't mind shelling out for that.

Dunno, as far as AAA games go, gamers have decided graphics and length of playtime are important. As an example of then vs now, Zelda used to be a game you could beat in a few hours. Breath of the Wild? Not so much. Both of these take increased development time which no one is doing for free. For them to bump up those two, price needs to go up. If it remains the same, honestly, it will eventually be unsustainable.
I looked for any useful documentation for a few minutes and just gave up. I don't want to read a book. I don't want to watch a video. This is not my first programming language, thank you. I just want a "hello world" example to get an idea what I am actually dealing with. How do I run a "hello world" program from the command line? How can I deploy that to another machine that doesn't necessarily have a GUI?
What makes you think you or I have any say in this?

Recessions happen naturally as part of the business cycle, but are exacerbated by risky practices at major financial institutions that take on insanely leveraged bets in order to churn out a tiny profit that when summed up, becomes a huge profit.

The problem is that when average people go to political representatives to push for regulation of the markets, they are drowned out by corporate lobbyists who fill reps' pockets and fill the airwaves talking about and "class envy" and "socialist takeover".
Apple Pay is coming to Target, Taco Bell, Speedway and two other U.S. chains
Probably not. However, having free public transportation will actually reduce operating costs: no need to maintain all the infrastructure (and people) needed for selling and checking transit passes.

This can improve passenger flow (I live in Paris, and turnstyles are a major pain during rush hour) and passenger convenience.

In the case of Paris, traffic is positively horrible, and parking is even worse of a joke. Yet there are people who still prefer driving and who don't even come from the suburbs (where public transit may be somewhat lacking). The reason is clearly one of convenience which means that this should be taken into account by the authorities if they really want people to drive less (which is the official policy here).
There are varying extents to which signalling is a good explanation and employers have more fine grained information then just degree or not. As usual the literature is less univocal.

Is there some misconception in that sentence?
Like Java, it runs on a VM. This VM works on the mainstream OS.

One of the peculiarity of Pharo (and Smalltalk) is that when you shutdown the system, you can persist the whole system on disk (called "the image"). Next time you open it, you start exactly where you left.

All the development tools are mixed with your code. There is no differences between the coding time and runtime (i.e., you code at runtime). If you are familiar with IRB in Ruby, imagine a GUI running in IRB.

This means that it is hard to see the limit between your code and Pharo's code. Pharo 7 seems to bring a bootstrap process where you can build images from scratch. This is an interesting evolution that will vastly improve the development/reproducability/deployment story.

Exactly, a young CEO without a lot of savings probably meets that criteria.

A founding CEO with a family might have other sources of income to rely on, and be able to get away with less.
I've always been told the same thing but my experience pretty much matches yours.

I can eat what I want as long as I keep up my daily 7km walk which takes me about an hour or so. I've always found walking easy but I've never been able to run more than 500m probably due to being a somewhat sickly kid with annual bronchitis and a limited lung capacity.

The handful of times I've stopped walking for various reasons over the last twenty years I've quickly got up to about 120kg (I'm 6'7") but as soon as I start walking again the excess 20kg falls off pretty quickly in a month or two and maintaining 100kg is simple.

I've never had any luck modifying my diet.
Seems on par with what ngrok charges? Of course I could set it all up myself but the $60/year or whatever is cheap enough for me to let someone else handle it.

or an extension if you want to go faster than 2x. You can just up arrow on your next session.

Getting to 3x consistently can be a hard barrier to break for some talking patterns like this guy's where he has periods of very slow speech and long breaks followed by periods of quick pace explanation with details but the payoff is relatively high.

I was inspired to give higher speeds a shot when I read a post by a blind user describing how many use >500 WPM text to speech (which sounds completely indecipherable at first) to navigate computer interfaces quickly.

The additional tax being social security and Medicaid? That’s 7.5% extra. And like child says half of it is tax deductible.

How can a 7% difference mean you compare non tax salary to taxed self employed income? As was the point of my comment. It doesn’t make sense. The disparity is way worse if you do that.

Also it was never said to compare revenue to salary. I assumed profit would be compared to salary.

In the Salesforce consulting world the Certified Technical Architect (CTA) cert means you walk in the door at any of the big consulting firms at managing director or equivalent rank and that comes out to around $200k/year. The cert isn't that easy to get, it requires a dozen or so prerequisite certs and then an exam plus a board review but you could probably do it in a year and a half.

Also, i think over half of all CTAs are employed at Salesforce itself so you could always go work for them if consulting isn't your cup of tea (it's not for everyone that's for sure).

You're not meant to take my comment too seriously either >;3 But I am quite serious there is rarely a "collective" human ingenuity. It's a tiny fraction of the population who have created almost anything of large scale value, at least 50% of us dine on the ingenuity of Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch. Democracy is probably the best example of collective action, I'd say thats got a fairly awful record especially given some of the own goals going on in the UK and USA. Counter examples are its kind of not true scientific and engineering efforts are individuals anymore. But its certainly not the entire human race throwing down. I often dream of what would happen if we all actually leaned into solving some problems as an entire planet. I think it would look at bit more impressive!
Snacks are bad for you (and lead you to bad eating habits).
One of the really nice outcomes of this approach is that it allows you to use different optimisation levels.

Other approaches try to bypass the compiler by verifying the generated binary against the semantics of the source code (treating the compiler itself as a black box). The major drawback is that you had to completely disable all optimisation.
> We will find new industries which replace the old jobs

Reading the book Janesville, I'm very pessimistic on the effects of programs aimed at retraining people for new careers once jobs in a town are lost. I'm convinced for the next generation that it's a net benefit, yes, but that many people who lose their job never really recover and the people who try to switch industries end up on average the worst off.

We should be honest about the role we play. Even if it's a net positive, it's not a net positive for every person. For many people it can be devastating. (This actually bolsters your second point and helps make the case for a strong safety net.)
This is a side-effect of receiving a computer science degree and going into a programming job; you'll learn the skills to program, but all the CS theory stuff that you won't use really should have been more practical SE stuff taken from classics like Mythical Man-Month, Design Patterns, etc.

It is an alien world.... but a better one by most measures.

I come from Emacs (20+ years when I first encountered the Smalltalk IDE), and find aspects of code editing irritating sometimes, but the overall value of the IDE more than pays for that irritation.

One of the coolest things is TDD carried to an extreme level. I build my test, and it fails because there's no such method, so I get a debug window and tell it to create the method... then I fill in the contents and click proceed... and picks up where it left off! It either works, or I'm back in a debug window fixing what failed. Total time from thinking of a test to working code, often less than 5-10 minutes.
Allow programs to specify the type of data they can consume and the type of the data they emit. This is how powershell does it (using the dotnet type system).

Is that true? VisualWorks isn't used more places? Where are you getting that information from?

I would LOVE to have a viable public transportation option here in LA. Its not an understantement to say it would transform the city. Ridership is not going to increase though until the city deals with the massive safety and sanitation concerns that exist at present. I’ve witnessed fights, muggings, people defecating themselves, drug use, and open harassment while riding. The trains are unpredictable to schedule around and on the average, slower than driving. There’s also the last mile problem which is starting to get solved by scooter services and such but if you look at a city like London you get a glimpse of what could be.
I can't really. I don't have other sensors besides the temperature matching what the thermostat says.

In the talk I linked, DHH said he had tried dozens of other sensors and found this one surprisingly accurate for the price point. He did mention the temperature and humidity readings were not as accurate as he expected since sensors for those are so cheap, but that's not really why I got one.
Agreed, and the increased prices are for existing drugs. We are not seeing an increase in cost due to innovation. Price increases are caused by companies charging more year after year for the same pill.
$125 million raised, and they only cover the Bay Area, the most competitive market for this kind of service?

I think take precautions is a good thing for this case. It generated benefits for both who stayed and left.

1, Because GitHub need to be careful about their decision, they will likely to give out more to convince people to keep using their product.

2, People now starting to trying tier 2 product from other companies, this is apparently a good thing for those companies. Also, you don't want to feed a monopoly.
I stand corrected. All those years without noticing it. :\
Regarding modern architecture, I'm not a fan. It's not like a painting which you can hang up on your wall at your own leisure. No, these are buildings that people have to live in and around. I think London is worse off with the Shard.

I can't comment on the rest.

I would be remiss if I did not point out that calling said program cat is a misnomer. Instead of 'string together in a series' (the actual dictionary definition, which coincidentally, pipes actually do) it quickly became 'print whatever I type to the screen.'

Of course, the example @arendtio uses is correct, because they obviously care about such things.
