I can see how it comes across like that but that wasn’t my reading. It seemed matter-of-factly. I think I would much prefer dealing with someone who’s openly arrogant versus someone virtue signaling their false modesty

More like "I am telling you, and I could not offer to remind you, but then you would have to rely on your own means of remembering."

No problem there.

I tend to agree with you in principle; this particular thread is (granted I'm reading top-to-bottom, not all the way through it yet) is somewhat restrained compared to the usual black-grey-black-grey-grey-grey-deleted-black-grey-grey-black-deleted text walls some flamewars tend to lean towards.

Sounds like a gap in the market then.

That's about my experience as well. I started playing with Swift when they launched it, and have dabbled here and there, but I don't have an iPhone or a Mac, so it's not very useful unless I really need to develop something for iOS (had a hackintosh for a while until my laptop died). I have since moved my prototyping to React Native targeting Android.

There are a lot of things to like and dislike about each language. I use Go at my day job and Rust for most side projects, and I feel I need to be careful with both. Go makes concurrency easy, which also makes it easy to make mistakes. Rust makes concurrency safe, which also makes it hard to optimize. I'm faster with Go in prototyping, but more confident with Rust not breaking at launch.

Learn them all. If you're an experienced dev, it'll take you less than a week to be comfortable with Go if you've done any concurrency, two weeks for Swift, and about the same for Rust (maybe more if you have little to no FP experience).
Isn't it rude to keep contacting people who aren't interested? Why do you appear to be ignoring the arrogance on the recruiters part?

Personally, I feel like I'm not doing anything worthwhile if I'm not saying down-votable things. My internet points are the currency I use to say things that I know people will disagree with, but that I believe are worth serious consideration anyway. If I am being up-voted all the time, I would probably be in an echo chamber posting affirming memes.
I think this is where I do my usual comment and observe that print media isn't struggling to stay afloat. There are plenty of publications that are profitable. This is invariably ignored and a 'crisis' generalised to the entire industry because the profitable papers tend to be owned by Rupert Murdoch, and they tend to be profitable because they put up paywalls and charge money for their analysis and opinions rather than give them away for free.

This doesn't jive with the agenda of most journalists, who very much want to "change the world" and "do what is right not what is easy", etc. They see a big part of their job as guiding readers to the correct decisions and protecting them from false ideas, but of course if you throw up a paywall and charge money, you're much less able to do that.

I used to be quite sympathetic to the plight of the news industry - it wasn't their fault that times were changing, that they were now all competing with each other, that Craigslist outdid them on classified ads etc. But then some papers started turning things around financially, I realised nobody forced these papers to put all their content online for free, and I became much more aware of the extent to which journalists try to manipulate their reader base. My sympathy is now gone: newspapers are businesses, and they need to turn a profit by charging for their services. If that means giving up influence, well hey, welcome to the world the rest of us live in.
Feels really sluggish.
This is a really well thought out response, thank you. You've given me some good things to think about. Especially popular vs right decision.

I've found it's in my nature not to piss people off, I've always been quite adverse to confrontation (although there is a limit). I'm realising now that it can be a necessary tool to use, at the right time and for the right reasons. And practice is making it easier.

Still, that kills any incentive for fee competition between cards - they all share the benefits of being convenient and face little pressure to change the fee structure.
A lot of people consider this to be an interesting question. I don't really. I think the prior of it is exceptionally low both because it's a less simple hypothesis than humans, constructed similarly, having similarly structured internal representations of the world; and because it seems plausible that some well-designed art or optical illusions would reveal such a difference if it weren't trivial.

But more importantly, I think it's like arguing whether all computers are big-endian, or whether some computers stores
[R,G,B] values in memory as [G,B,R]. It's not actually mysterious.
Don't listen to OP. You did good. Thanks for allowing me to get a notification when it's ready, instead of just making me rely on my memory.
I would expand “reading” to “consumption” because mobile devices are frequently used for audio and video in addition to reading (which is probably more “browsing” than long-form reading).
I believe that the main value proposition from Rust lang, is more about the safety guarantees, without having a GC that can add some uncertainty for execution time. (I don't know Go but it seems the GC pauses are very short, so if you don't have hard real time constraint Go GC is probably not that a big issue)

So basically use Rust, wherever you need C or C++ performances and you cannot afford to have a bug. So critical piece of the infrastructure, OS, critical embedded systems... It is probably easier to write correct concurrent Rust than C.

The fact that you can easily create static binaries that will run on Linux or Windows is nice, but I don't think this is the biggest differentiator.
>How do you even know that "everyone else" experiences colors the same as each other?

Generally through measurement. Colors are just differences in electromagnetic wave frequency, change the electromagnetic wave frequency enough and you are out of “visual light rays” and into other types of rays (radio, gamma, x, etc...). Until people start “seeing” those other non visable light rays, we have some indication we are all seeing the same things (light waves).

As to the “colors” of the various frequencies within the visual light wave spectrum, we may receive/interpret them differently (ie color blindness), but the wave frequencies are the same and it is us who work differently.

That’s why we can have other objective factors and measurements (primary colors, mixing of colors, etc...) that suggest for the most part we are all seeing the visual light spectrum waves similarly. In otherwords if you and I saw the visual light wave differently it should be obviously once we start mixing colors to produce new colors (if you saw black and white where I saw blue and yellow, then you couldn’t see green - it would be black). Still your use of “experience” of colors likely is inheriently true we probably all do experience the colors differently (some are my favorites, those don’t need to be your favorites, some may trigger certain emotions in me and not in you) but that doesn’t change the fact that the electromagnetic wave is the same for both observers.
I think #1 and #6 go hand in hand, and usually results in #2. If you disregard your team, and you're arrogant, your code will likely be sloppy as hell. In my opinion that makes you the worst member of the team.

I spoke with a coworker about this and we agreed that you just need to be humble as a software developer: we all are going to screw up, we don't all know all the answers, and we don't know why others in our teams say / know specific things, but we should not take their advise lightly it might of been a painful lesson for them to begin with!

It doesn't make sense that making it harder to use a feature of an iPhone would make more people want to use an iPhone. It seems unlikely that someone sees someone struggle to find their lost iPhone via an Android device and think "This makes me want an iPhone more"
I think F# just fits the way he thinks really well. I have that same sort of Zen experience when I code in Ruby. Ruby's object model sets like firmament in my mind and allows me to think about blobs of Ruby code in a discrete rather than a continuous fashion. Which is what I think the author is getting at with his praise. Abstraction verbosity golfed down to a minimum.

I couldn't even imagine giving up Ruby's elegant object model for the verbosity of a static typing system. So when people tell me that Ruby or Rails is magical, I'm like, yeah, in a good way. But the arcane correspondences just aren't very accessible. If I want a functional programming model, I just code one up out of the basic building blocks of ruby. If I want a type system, I can make one.
If you recall that the NSA is already storing large amounts of internet traffic for later decryption, whether or not some server stores it is mostly irrelevant. Maybe you're worried about other lower-tech attackers, but I don't think that Matrix servers are going to keep 30 years of chat history (I imagine most Matrix servers are going to eventually use default retention policies). Not to mention you can run your own homeserver if you don't trust the operators of public homeservers.

Storing 1:1 messages (noting that Matrix doesn't differentiate between group chats and 1:1 chats) on a server is beneficial because you might not want to lose your entire private chat history with your family and friends whenever you lose a device (source: this happened to me multiple times with Signal -- which has an awful backup system that I didn't use because it simply doesn't work properly).

Now, there is obviously cases where you don't want the server to keep your messages forever -- and then you might want to have retention policies and so on. But I don't really agree with the security argument, since the most obvious attackers already likely have your messages, and it sacrifices a lot of convenience that most people expect (my partner didn't expect to lose all her Signal messages when her phone died unexpectedly).

Huh. I guess you just explained why I'm generally disenchanted by cinema. All I can stand watched is bad or quirky movies because only those satisfy my need for novelty these days.

I feel like this describes all of the software teams in which I've worked, although I had better managers than they seem to have at Auticon, which is ironic given what they are trying to do. Beam strikes me as being a poor communicator in general, not giving people a heads up on office changes and going so far as to move someone's desk without telling them about it is just plain lazy and stupid.
Also, the "View As" functionality has been "temporarily" disabled months ago because of a security issue, never to appear again.

"View As" was a vital tool to assess what data is shared with whom, and guarding one's privacy is harder without it.
Why now, as opposed to several years ago? Are there downsides to blocking 3rd party trackers by default, and if so, what has changed recently to allow this to happen now?
Google.de works for me in Zürich, but google.com is not responding
I once had a bug developing an IP phone. Connecting to one server worked but once on site with the customer connection to their server didn't worked, even though the servers where identical.

It turned out that the power supply on their server was malfunctioning sometimes delivering too little power. Specially when taking the code paths my IP phone triggered.

The server software was built in php. It's not often you start looking for a bug in PHP but end up switching a capacitor in the PSU.

My point is that even if your write in php, php is running C libraries, that is running ASM that is running hardware and every part of this chain is important. There's no such thing as "works everywhere", it's just "have a very high chance of working everywhere".

(off-topic) thanks for the sds library. I'm a heavy user of it.
Can you please provide some examples? Genuinely interested! :)
I don't think you'd need entirely new ribosomes, assuming the new bases are relatively the same size as ATCG. What you'd need more of are aminoacyltransferases, which load amino acids onto tRNAs. You'd also need new tRNA's (probably not super hard), and I imagine you'd want new amino acids. But we don't even know how to predict how existing amino acid chains fold into functional proteins, so I'm not sure what the goal of making new amino acids would further.

More likely, the new bases can be used as a higher-density data storage medium for those folks interested in making biological data stores.

- you can set up toggle in a way that isn't distracting - definitely disable the popups, have a keyboard shortcut for start/stop tracking, or use the auto tracking feature if you like it

- I've found time tracking with toggle to be extremely helpful at times when my discipline was lacking. For example, while working on university projects, the goal of spending at least 4 hours every day doing actual work, helped so much with getting things done on time.

- even then, my time tracking was focused on work - I would never recommend tracking every minute of your day. I've tried it for a very short period of time and completely hated it.

- at the moment I have enough discipline and structure in my work and personal life, so time tracking isn't necessary. At work, I log time against projects a few times a week, but that process isn't micromanaged and we don't use real-time time tracking. I wouldn't time track my personal projects because I enjoy the feeling of flexibility and don't need the additional discipline.

edit:

It just occurred to me that this is very similar to managing a budget. If you've never had a budget before and don't know where your money goes, it's really useful to track your finances closely at least for a while. But if you're doing fine financially and you're still obsessively counting every penny, you've probably gone too far and you're taking away from your quality of life. At that point just a general idea of how much is spent and on what will be enough.

Yes those people are sitting next to (generally) well-maintained engines that aren't run right up to the point of failure.
Got it. Yeah I see what you mean. This rule is more about them wanting to maintain control over distribution than it is about having a custom desktop / windowing metaphor. They don’t want people to create a platform within their platform where a third-party is distributing app-like things in an end-run around the iOS App Store.
I just found out all new iCloud accounts require your mobile number for 2FA.

A friend is in a study abroad program and broke his iPhone. He bought a new one but can’t access his account because he no longer has a “trusted device” (his broken iPhone) to verify his login and since he’s overseas, can’t get the fallback SMS.

He basically has to wait until he returns.

There is productive research into using DNA as a data storage medium. I could see this being used to either increase data density or as an error-correction mechanism.
I get the spirit of your argument...and probably there is a "right" temperature. But what is the "right" salary -- if ~$150k is too high, what salary should Amazon give to their workers? Who decides? Should they also cut benefits just as an added way to reduce gentrification? What happens when someone gets promoted...do they get fired because their salary is too high now?

I understand the issue of gentrification is real. But this is the first time I've heard a progressive argument against good paying good benefits jobs -- usually the argument is that jobs don't pay enough and the benefits are too little (that can be regulated.)

> The main goal of this book is to use a minimal amount of space or within a limited space to dissect the complete Linux kernel source code in order to obtain a full understanding of the basic functions and actual implementation of the operating system. To achieve a complete and profound understanding of the Linux kernel, a true understanding and introduction of the basic operating principles of the Linux operating system. This book's readership is positioned to know the general use of Linux systems or has a certain programming basis, but it lacks the basic knowledge to read the current new kernel code and is eager to understand the working principle and actual code of the UNIX operating system kernel as soon as possible. Realize the lovers.
I could be mistaken, but if the original recording is no longer copyrighted, how can someone copyright an individual performance? Doesn't that fall under the derivative works portion of copyright law? Thereby making it the automatic property of the property holder - which in this case would be the general public, no?
I've tried but failed. There are a couple of key issues:
1) The first is that the chromebook that I purchased before the Crostini announcement (Asus C302CA), which was very much a flagship laptop remains unsupported. The wonderful software update hell of the google ecosystem bit me here.

2) I do a lot of work on airplanes, so not everything can run on a cloud instance. Apple cost too much (and has a remarkable lack of native apps for things like netflix). I also need it to fit on a airplane without jamming my elbows into my sternum due to size. The Chromebook has the form factor, but not the flexibility to work when the net is spotty(again, Crostini probably helps this out).

What I ended up doing ironically was a Surface Go. Great keyboard, nice form factor, and WSL support. 8GB of RAM (which is really needed by notebooks) and it works on plane.
Are you speculating or is that a real plan?
