"Keto" isn't a myth, it's basic biology and metabolism facts.
That doesn't make your parent comment wrong, though.
That's precisely why I immediately thought of "nearly" meaning a bit more instead of a bit less.

It is still no clear to me what makes "nearly" in this particular case to mean "less than". Curiously enough, "nearly crossed the finish line" indeed sounds totally wrong to me.
so - a quick test on a different machine than described

on an x86_64 GNU/Linux VM with GCC 8.1, set a double dbf to MAX_DOUBLE (1.7976931348623157e+308), set a long double dbld to (dbf + 1.0), and compare them (dbf == dbld); both values print the same, and the compare returns 1 (True).

Gross over-simplification that I'd also call a strawman. In the face of lack of electricity, of course no computer language matters at all. What's your point?

Can't speak for Vue, but Angular has its own module system in addition to ES imports, which does give a gain when it comes to testing.

There is one benefit to Angular's templates that is pretty nice due to its use of TypeScript - you get intellisense in editors on your templates.
So in case anyone just panicked thinking “Wait, so do my car and office windows block cancer producing UV or not??”, this is what I found on cancercouncil.com.au (first google result):

- UVA penetrates deeply into the skin (the dermis) causing genetic damage to cells, photo-ageing (wrinkling, blotchiness etc) and immune-suppression.

- UVB penetrates into the epidermis (top layer of the skin) causing damage to the cells. UVB is responsible for sunburn – a significant risk factor for skin cancer, especially melanoma.

Which contrary to what I knew, links melanoma to sunburn, not DNA damage.
I suspect it may be more the case that many people under 40 in the UK weren't really taught much at all in the way of grammar, and even people who have involuntarily picked up fairly decent grammatical skills still struggle with comma splices, which are, admittedly, quite a subtle sort of error whose detection is predicated by a full mastery of the purposes of the various punctuation marks and an understanding of clauses.
The language varies internationally. In the UK I would call a small step through scooter a moped. We don't really have the pedalled equivalent. I only know this because i read this http://www.mopedtrip.com/more/worldrecord.html

Is it me, or is "a series of small waterfalls" like TFA describes not actually anything to do with Agile?

I mean, I guess it's more agile than one big waterfall, but it's still not embracing the principles of Agile (like involving developers in product decisions, or letting developers assign deadlines). It's still locked in the worldview of "serious people spec the product, then the nerds push the nerdbuttons to build it".
> Just try to build even a small program written for Windows 95 or 98 today.

This largely works if it was written in Delphi.
Agile, MVP, Iterative development: these are common knowledge by now. But I think there are problem spaces where this does not really work becasue even an MVP must be huge, otherwise users will simply ignore the product. You cannot write a small MVP of a browser, an operating system, a search engine, a game engine, a 3D modeling suite, etc... I think markets in problem spaces where you can start with a very small MVP become oversaturated, because everyone wants to start a product with a 1 month MVP development. So you will have a competitive advantage if you are able to design products in problem spaces where even the MVP is relatively big, so you can attack not-so-oversaturated markets. I think the ability to design complex products becomes an important skill.

As an immigrant myself, I can concur. The USCIS (and its predecessor, INS) and the CBP are filled with jerks and bullies. It's like they have watched some movie about how everyone in this world is out to get America, and they're the last line of defense.

Your proposal drastically changes the role of all mainstream endpoint resolvers, which today delegate the recursive part of the lookup to "DNS servers" and which, in the world you're thinking of, would own that lookup completely and use DNS servers, if at all, as mere request forwarders.

Not for nothing, but even the IETF doesn't want you to do this.

Can you post an audio sample on the landing page? A narrator's voice has a big impact on if I want to listen to an audiobook. With this being automated my first concern is that this will sound way too robotic.

Also if you don't mind sharing, how did you get the voice library?
It can be, depending on the particular thread. I'll speak for myself, but I find it incredibly difficult to read technical/business/pop-nonfic/etc. books in my free time. After a long day programming the last thing I want to do is read the literary equivalent of a TED talk. My bookshelf is a place where the "red dragon" Compilers book can peacefully coexist with Cannery Row--it's just that, more often that not, I reach for the fiction.

I learned BASIC in 5th grade and instantly fell in love with how quickly I could read and understand the code and modify it to do what I wanted.

Sure, when I wanted to make games I moved to C++ and Perl for web apps, but without programming experience those languages looked like a mass of symbols while BASIC looked like sentences.

For an entry level language it was perfect for me.

I just thought I'd give your product a try. My hopes are very high, since at $800 I expect something almost on a par with Delphi. CrossBox seems like a neat idea but it would be great to explain upfront that in order to develop for other platforms you actually need to have that machine. It's half-cross-platform, I'd say.

What are the most popular libraries in Maven Central?
There’s no profound reason why authors don’t typically include solutions. It’s not gatekeeping and it’s not to appeal to an idealistic sense of the Right Way to learn mathematics.

The real reason is twofold:

1. Authors write textbooks for universities and professors, not students. They write for the academic paradigm they’re familiar with, in which the professor is primarily teaching a student. The textbook is simply used to arrange a course, and professors would rather not have solutions available in the textbook.

2. Authors don’t earn much money from textbooks and textbooks aren’t weighed very heavily for tenure. There isn’t much of an incentive for them to write textbooks with solutions for the reason stated above, and it’s actually significantly more work to include solutions to your exercises.

To put it very bluntly, there are extremely few non-students in the market for math textbooks, which is already a high-effort and low-return market for authors as it is. To get such a textbook you’d need someone who: knows the material extremely well, is very good at exposition, has a lot of time to invest in this as a passion project and doesn’t mind if it’s not used much or at all in well-known universities.
How to trick audiences into thinking you’re staring them in the eye
I see the 90% rule as a recursive function: First we get 90% of the whole work in the first iteration, then 90% of the remaining code (now we are 99% complete), then 99.9% and so on.

The iteration is stopped when the software has enough features and an acceptable level of bugs to be considered complete.
What complete is depends entirely on the field of the software.
For a proof of concept software we can stop after the first iteration, but for a safety critical software we might need 3, 4, or even more itarions.
I think people interpret Murphy's law incorrectly most of the time.

We can extrapolate from "Anything bad that can, happen will happen", and get the statement: "If something can physically happen, given enough time, it will eventually happen."

I like to think its sort of a very tangential sister idea of the mediocrity theory.
Awesome link, thank you.
It's really interesting that I have the same frustrations with video calls, however I also play VR videogames and video chat with "remote friends" very often, and almost NEVER have those issues.

I'm not sure if it's greater familiarity with the tools, or something else, but I can be on a 4 person group video call with my friends WHILE playing a VR game with them as well and everything runs smoothly and without lag for hours on end, but like 40% of video calls for past jobs have had dropouts, lag, difficulty hearing, and other issues.

One thing I think that really helps some of those issues is to get high quality headsets for everyone and make sure they know how to use it, but the lag I genuinely don't understand what makes it so common in work contexts.

The situation isn't nearly as bleak as you indicate. I also found that I can counter that expectation by showing the labor and code involved in big projects. Then, I show them a small project that's still fun made by one person or a small team with associated code. Then, I tell them they can start there, make fun/useful things, and work their way up to bigger projects like their apps or AAA games. Only thing I run into at that point is laziness about putting in effort or just disinterest in favor of other pursuit.

I do need to do an update some time in future of exemplar apps to use for my examples with appeal to wide audience. Probably several or a pile of them with summaries so they can just skim through to get to what interests them.
The wonderfully weird world of Shintaro Kago, manga outsider
It's far worse than the trade-offs required by physics.

Evolution is short-sighted in a way that is hard to overstate. It exclusively cares about the current environment, it can only consider alternatives when they have actually been implemented, it can't look-ahead to see if a chain of changes is really desirable, and it can't even look-behind to determine if a previous design is better-suited to the current environment.

A better analogy to the way evolution operates using an engine would be: imagine that you first develop an engine that runs on a pure fuel, but then for a long span of time you can only get an inferior, highly contaminated fuel that produces a corrosive acid while it burns that slowly destroys the engine from the inside. You make a few tweaks to mitigate (but not stop) the damage from the acidic residue, but then you discover that by adding an additional afterburner with a special additive, you can get an extra 8% output from the engine. But then later when the pure fuel is available again, you discover that running the engine with the afterburner on a pure fuel will make it explode in short order. It's too late to redesign the engine without the afterburner -- most of the engines currently in existence suffer from the problem -- but it's pretty easy to re-contaminate the pure fuel so that it continues to produce the acidic residue that is both destroying the engines and expected by the afterburners. Meanwhile, most people still don't want to buy a pure-fuel engine without the afterburners since they have a lower output, and you really don't need most engines to last forever anyway.

That's the sort of bullshit you deal with in an evolved system.
That is orthogonal to Linux's user system, though. That model says things like "your daughter can have 25 file descriptors". It is not useful for this use case.
Basically every ORM does it. Django models, hibernate (java) as well for just 2 examples.
One major benefit of a separate program and network (network of hypertext, that is, not IP network or whatever) is that if you can overcome an initial usage hurdle (big if, I know) it'd provide an audience incentive to get current websites that could work just fine on it (which is lots of them) to provide a second experience on it. The way they do now with web+mobile app, but it'd obviously be cheaper to provide than either of those, by a long shot. Gaining the ability to access, banking, ecommerce, and government resources in particular through a hypertext network that's not also a spyware and application delivery platform would be huge for security.
It might not be authenticated. For some NASA probes, they just figured that any attacker would need control of a global network of high-gain radio antennas, and there aren't very many of those. Physical security at DSN tracking sites is sufficient in most cases.
As someone who has depression and anxiety, I can definitely testify that there's a certain fatalism that one experiences once they've been "diagnosed" with mental illness.

However. There's a dangerous perspective held by a conservatively-minded minority of more people who say mental illness "isn't real" and you just need to "suck it up" and "have stronger character", and it amounts to victim-blaming. Arguing to eliminate the insanity plea sounds very much along those lines, regardless of what the book said. Whether the doctor in question falls into that camp or not, it's a dangerous line to walk.

Personally I think of mental illness as analogous to obesity: it is simply a current state of being, and a spectrum at that. But it's important not to let it slide outside the realm of medicine and of having factors outside of the victim's control. People have fought long and hard for that ground and it's understandable they would feel threatened when someone (even just seemingly) tries to undercut it.

Also, the use case and marketing strategy for your two scenarios are different. A product like Snickers is a quick on-the-go fix of food. The marketing connection for a salad is different -- the money and full feeling is in the dressing. Many people translate "salad" as leaves with goops of fat/sugar on them. If you are a oil/vinegar person, you're an awful customer for Kraft.

The food industry is attacking traditional, lower margin foods to make more $. The best example is the push against milk in favor of nut and grain based white liquid. All of the substitute products are mostly water and corn syrup, but are sold at dairy prices.

I do have a concrete, credible, deployable proposal: do nothing. DNSSEC is a net negative.

I don't care that it's "standardized". The IETF has standardized a lot of bad stuff. I care that the benefits, such as they are, don't outweigh the costs --- those of a global key escrow system embedded in the DNS, those of the mass deployment of 1990s cryptography, and those of an enormous and expensive disruption to both our networks and, ultimately, our software, much of which will need to be updated to account for the untenable failure mode DNSSEC exhibits today.

Why do I care that CA/B forum requires DNSSEC (when it's enabled) for CAA records? Nobody uses DNSSEC.

Is it your opinion that none of the largest tech companies or financial institutions in the US have good security teams? Or, if, like me, you generally think money buys talent and companies like Google and Facebook and Apple (and, for that matter, Bank of America and Citigroup) have pretty amazing security teams, riddle me this: why have none of them enabled DNSSEC? Are they just too stupid?
Django models only work insofar as all clients are interacting with the database through django. If even one other path to the database exists, the django models become unreliable as a source of truth. With the profliferation of microservices written in different languages, it would be nice to have a cross-language, shared-service solution as simple as django models. Something like protobufs or JSON might work well, but ultimately you still need to write a messaging and persistence layer for them, so it's not as simple as just writing a few model files.
We learned some Ada in school. I really liked it, but the free toolchain was poor (hard to get working properly, unintuitive) and the community stubbornly defended its various idiosyncrasies like its verbose Pascal syntax and its homegrown project file format. Most importantly, it just didn’t heave much of an open source ecosystem, and the community was pretty hostile and defensive toward newbies. But yeah, the language was neat! :)

Sometimes there is a specific physical cause:

The situations with those two patients is revealing - the same genetic condition underlying two different diagnoses. The same treatment. The fact that not everyone with those conditions has the same defect or can benefit from that treatment. The field really is in its infancy. But sometimes there really is a physical cause and treatment.

Maybe it's like twitch plays pokemon. Everyone kind of knows how to play but everyone is saying something a bit different until groups form that start to dictate the path.

How do you solve for deadlocks at the compiler level? Even if all your memory access is perfectly safe, you can still deadlock on external resources if you aren't pay attention.

That's what I mean by fear and respect for concurrent programming. That's the problem that hasn't been solved.
That's kind-of what some ORMs try to do. Either the learning curve is too high, the ORM is too buggy, or someone screws something up and ends up writing software that's worse that just doing it the old-fashioned way.

Honestly, I'd rather that the DSL just import adapters for stored procedures; or that the language itself is modified to be more SQL-like.
