Oof. Currently developing software for doctors to use and this feels all too real. The concessions we have to make to cater to their relative inability to adapt would make me hate using this UI every day, but it's what they want.

It's not like I don't get it. I do. Just not 100% of the time.
I agree. I feel like that argument is better for a different subset of users. I got into terminal multiplexers when Tmux started getting traction. So I chose that after only using Screen briefly. Since then I've met a few old-schoolers who have used Screen for 20+ years who have asked me to pitch them on Tmux. Maybe I'm doing a poor job, but they already have configs they like and aren't really interested in the new features. Plus, Tmux is missing or not installed by default on older or more obscure distros. The only practical thing I could come up with was better support for vertical splits (the more sanely named and organized config wasn't relevant because they hadn't changed theirs in years). Similarly with NeoVim. I can usually get by with vi on those obscure systems since I'm usually reading a log or tweaking a config instead of editing source code.

On systems I don't administrate using these fancier new tools are a pain. I either have to bug the sysadmin to install my pet set of tools or try find static compiled versions, or try and build them myself in my homedir. I feel like I've wasted a lot of time jumping through hoops for things to mostly work with old versions of things. AppImage (what neovim offers) requires Fuse. s.minos.io which has a handy app to download static builds, is missing new versions and many packages I'm looking for.

The situation for Terminal apps is often worse than GUI apps.

As an aside, the only things I've seen gain traction with old-school Linux users are alternatives to grep since they're so much faster, have better defaults (like honoring gitignore), and are generally compatible with grep's arguments.
The Missing Introduction of React.js
I don't think she was focusing on the relative interesting-ness of diversity vs. {ML, blockchain}. Rather, it was about the narrow focus on such a small set of discussion topics.

(good riddance to bad rubbish IMHO)
I grew up in a church. I know churches aren't perfect but man I miss that community. OK so I actually grew up in 2 churches, Mormon and Catholic on alternating weekends.

A friend of mine suggested (also previously Mormon) that we create a church called, "Good without God". I love the idea because I have seen the good that having a community can do for many (not all) and for the community.

I miss going to a place that pushed people to be "good" (air quotes because different people and even religions define this differently). Anyway, this is something I think we're missing from our culture right now. I'm finding it for myself in other places right now, but it's not quite the same.

This is one of my more rambling comments, sorry about that.
Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for people with high prizes in ICPC, which is way more difficult than IOI in high school. I was just stating the fact.
Now, if you are a parent and your kids friend commited suicide ... or have to deal with mental health crisis in your kids school ... or cheating culture in school ... or your kids being frustrated cause other kids parents pressured teachers into better grades succesfully ...

Less importantly, if you are a parent and your work success depends on late night drinking and smoking sessions ... .
Well, ML doesn't have subtyping or C compatibility, so it's in a very different space. C++ had to deal with adding generics while also preserving all of the important other properties that make C++ C++. You can argue that those properties also aren't important, but they obviously are for C++ users.
There are RGB lights that don’t require smart bulbs.

I have several in my house. It’s a bit more complicated though.

You need an RGB driver. In my house it connects to a KNX network, but’s quick google tells me there are wifi ones as well.
There is a similar interactive linear algebra book from Georgia tech : https://textbooks.math.gatech.edu/ila/

Highly recommended.
Re 9: I don't care (directly) about whether my co-workers are passionate about their craft. I care because those who are passionate about their craft tend to produce a lot fewer messes and bugs - which I then have to deal with.

So it's a good sign of other things, but it's not actually the thing I care about.
Geez, none of the comments here mention surveillance! That's the ONLY focus Facebook really has.

The point of this is OBVIOUSLY not just profit, it's about figuring out how to get more and more stuff to live in Facebook, be run by Facebook, and tracked by Facebook.

Zuck and Sandberg can't tolerate the idea that people are donating to things and they don't know about it. They want to know who donates to what and all the other details. And they'd like to eliminate the existence of any content that's outside of the Facebook ecosystem.
How much of the author's early childhood stress is the result not of SV, but of tiger mom/dad competitiveness? Kids crying over getting an A- and being loaded up with 7 after school classes and college prep activities usually indicates parental pressure more than peer pressure.

So some of her commentary is transferring blame to SV culture as a whole for what is probably a result of the culture of the parents.
It mostly depends on what refrigerant is used. All heat pumps need to be able to change the phase of the refrigerant, which becomes too hard above or below certain temperatures. You can extend the range by having a higher pressure pump, but that reduces efficiency.
Elsewhere in this thread fastbeef says "They're very common in Sweden and can easily warm an entire house even at -20 C [-4F]." So, it can work though at -10F you would probably need supplemental heat.

Of course in Sweden residential natural gas prices are almost 4 times what they are in the US so its a very different economic decision. Shows what a carbon tax can do.

Google stock price almost doubled in the last 3 years. That's a lot for a company that size.
Yes. They offer something called metered billing. You report usage, and only invoice once the customer hits a certain threshold or after a certain time period. (whatever comes first).
I believe this is referring to Hawking radiation.

I'm not an expert, but normally particles don't have an entangled counterpart. Only virtual ones do, and those which fall in can have a counterpart which ends up being "radiated".

Perhaps the confusion is caused by the current understanding that any information (and mass?) that comes in will eventually get emitted back away.
I custom designed it.
participants were able to deduce it because it's not at all the same experience in any way shape or form. Your use of the term "placebo" is extremely incorrect in this case.

Car.o.l – An A.I.-Powered Exercise Bike That Gets You Fit in 40 Seconds
It seems residential natural gas prices in Sweden are almost 4 times what they are in the US! Show what a carbon tax can do in changing economic decision making.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/702735/household-natural...
I’m confused. I see a giant dragon on top of what looks like goggles, and nothing else? May be an issue with iOS though.
Designed for busy people, CAR.O.L provides the minimum effective dose of exercise by using clinically proven high intensity interval training (HIIT) principles programmed into its A.I.-powered stationary bike. Riders receive the same cardio benefits of a 45-minute jog in less than nine minutes by performing two 20-second sprints at their perfectly calculated resistance.

Each rider can track their progress through CAR.O.L’s built-in touchscreen and its mobile app, including a proprietary Octane Score measuring their fitness level (power per heartbeat). Every CAR.O.L account is connected to the cloud, allowing users to resume each ride at their latest resistance level, whether they are using a CAR.O.L bike at home, work or the gym.
Who wants their kids to go to school in a place where so many kids kill themselves that there are suicide patrols and no one knows how to stop it? Maybe there is some truth to the necessity of struggle for humans to learn how to appreciate life. These kids grow up with a silver spoon, needing for nothing, and we wonder why they're jumping in front of trains? And on top of that, it costs $1 million or more to buy a house just to give them a chance at this amazing location so they can kill themselves? I'm sure that's a premium all parents want to pay to experience the worst imaginable outcome.
No, unless I'm so sick I just sleep all day, I'm usually extra hungry.
Interestingly enough - with your example - the ticket machines of the german bahn are quite efficient if you know what you need, making their interface even better.

For example, there are regional tickets that allow you to take just about all the regional trains for a day with a group of people. You can find this ticket if you poke in your destination (the default prompt), select it, and then it gives you the option to use this or other types of tickets. Or you go ahead and select "all tickets", type NDS, skip options and pay. Takes less than a minute.
Honestly, I wish a few different major languages would get together and start developing system ABIs that move beyond C as the interchange language.
> typeclass based generics (Rust, Haskell) have all those pros and none of the cons

My understanding is that typeclasses incur a runtime penalty on invocations since the typeclass essentially carries around its V-table with it at runtime.

> none of the gains you claim are inherently lost on Java-style generics either. It's just that Java has funny language limitations, that do not apply if you remove the incompatible requisites from the language.

I don't understand how the last sentence of that does not invalidate the first. If you remove those limitations, what you get is not Java and would lose many of the other benefits that being Java has.
In which direction? It could be saying "High-school super-hacker who knows Python? Don't bother."
I wonder how often (golang, let's say)

x, y = y, x

Just becomes register renaming? What about

array[i], array[j] = array[j], array[i]

No, but I've visited many times since the 80s.

The NYC I remember, and love, from then was dirty, smelly, and culturally adventuresome. It was also diverse ethnically and socio-economically in a not so segregated way.

Today, when I visit NYC, and even Brooklyn for that matter, it feels like a city for the wealthy, and it feels much less ethnically diverse than it used to.
The old way of heating homes in the UK was to provide little insulation but lots of thermal mass. A strong fire would heat up the mass in the chimney and around the home. The fire could be damped down over night and relight it the morning.

There is also a mentality of homes being forever. My house was built originally in 1870 and that's not particularly old. In the US old homes (except perhaps in a few stylish old areas) are something which need torn down and rebuilt.
Rust is often sold feature by feature; the borrow check offers proof like safety over fuzzing, cargo provides real versioned package management over makefiles or git commits...

I choose Rust because taken as a whole, Rust changed the way I approached laying out my memory and how I composed my code. I think this more than anything leads to less issues than the equivalent C++. The article points out that a Rust vs C++ solution to any given problem are going to be completely different.

My only desire for Rust is to see compile times speed up and the C++ interop to improve.
thanks I appreciate the compliment :)
Every time I see that sequence "Krzysz..." I think its something from SumatraPDF creator (Krzysztof Kowalczyk).

Somehow I cannot internalize that its a regular name somewhere and I need to check the last name as well..

My neighbor (Brazil) name spells Cristofer which is really the same name.

I’m not too sure which one I would consider worse. That approach would be similar to buying every desirable domain containing a certain keyword when you operate within the same market. I personally believe the way to beat out competitors in a market is by the quality of service and value added, not by utilizing an artificial barrier that prevents anyone else from entering. I can understand his approach even if I don’t necessarily agree with it. Although, I also believe that competition is better for any market.
Compile time. For my 9k lines project it takes 20 sec to compile in debug mode and 1 minute in release. Wich is insane because I have to do a lot of runs to test things(where cargo check can't help).

Black is certainly the most correct term, but african-american still dominates. My comment is not about how one views one's own identity, which yes, these are different reflections, it's about how others want to tread lightly to avoid any perceived slight. IOW, PC for PC sake.
It is very cool.

While he's possibly the first to think of it in a photography context, I have heard of an ice lens being recommended in a survival context -- fashion a lens to start a fire with the sun.

I've had no idea if it is actually practical; I'm sure you'd need some very good dry & fluffy tinder. This photo experiment tilts it much further into the 'Plausible' zone.
Funny how the lack of diversity (% of people employed from each race) exactly mirrors this graph of wealth by race in America: https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2015/03/26/the-racial...

I mentioned i3 only because you mentioned tiling window managers requiring too much configuration to setup. Manjaro also has a AwesomeWM distribution as an alternative tiling WM.

But aside from tiling window managers, Manjaro also has pre-packaged distributions with Openbox, XFCE, Budgie, Mate and Deepin and a few other less lightweight environments like KDE and Gnome. There's also the "architect edition" which does require a bunch of configuration.
With C++ in particular, it's because type-checking happens only after a template has been instantiated, so the error messages you get are based on the instantiated types and not the original template.

I think if something's valuable enough, someone will be willing to cover the cost, irrespective of whether it's also freely available.

Of course its allowed. And I would love Adam's attempt to "enlighten people" if that was really his goal.

But I'm saying this as a long time super fan... that isn't what it feels like to follow him anymore. I think he is less passionate about entertaining people or enlightening people, and more interested in bolstering his conservative credibility.

I don't know why his career arched in that direction, and its his right to do whatever he likes. But for me I have had to jump off the train because doesn't seem to be tied to what I liked about his humor.

I'm the conservative version of an Al Franken fan. We came for the comedy, but at some point it isn't about that anymore.
Hi Colin,

I'm curious, what is the expected behavior here? `6/2` would say "every 2nd minute, starting from minute 6". You can combine a range and a step like this: `6-30/2` but I'm not sure how to parse your step with a range.

Is it possible crontab.guru is exposing a bug in your crontab that your version of cron just happens to be tolerant of?'

Edit: You can see in this line how a range and step is used in a normal for loop in the cron scheduler:
https://github.com/rhuitl/uClinux/blob/master/user/vixie-cro...

In this case, the variable "num3" is the step value.
I couldn't agree more. The Bay Area was always one of the only places my wife and I could mutually agree on whenever we'd chat about places we'd like to move to. I grew up in Seattle and have family scattered throughout SF and the East Bay, and was fortunate enough to have made multiple trips per year to the area since I was a kid. Those trips fostered a love for the region, for SF as a city, and the people here. The trips, however, stopped when I moved across the country for college.

I spent over a decade not visiting the area all that much, and was excited as all hell when I had the opportunity to transfer out here for work. I'd heard bits and pieces about how the region had changed, but I didn't really have a grasp as to just how much change had taken place beyond the cost of living. I'm sure you can imagine the disappointment my wife and I had when we realized the reality of the place we'd just moved to. There are people from all walks of life and countries and cultures out here, but despite that, you're absolutely right when you say that SF and SV both lack culture. It's terribly homogeneous and downright bland.

There are still reasons we have for living here, but we've been having more conversations lately about living places we never thought we'd agree on. Paying such a premium to live in an area that feels so bland, homogeneous and nestled within its own little bubble just doesn't seem worth it to us.
OK, we get it. You can embed any language in plain text, so it's "expressive". lisper should have emphasized that "how Unix programmers default to using command-lines text" is less expressive than S-expressions, as history shows that programmers tend to fall into using a language of "records of fields".
This is nice. However, isn't this just having a boilerplate starter kit for deploying MkDocs sites to various providers (GitHub Pages, GitLab, AWS Amplify, etc) using the MkDocs Material template theme built by Squidfunk (https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material)?

If so, it would probably be good to add a citation if nothing else to raise awareness and support for Squidfunks beautiful and well maintained MkDocs theme https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

Thanks!
Well ok then, that makes me re-evaluate their "success".
The alternative tends to be to propagate the error upwards using the `?` operator, up to some point where it makes sense to handle errors
Probably Erlang, but potentially Ocaml.

I'll probably catch some flack for this (from both sides): You can (and should) use Ocaml as a Lisp where you lose the easy macros but gain strict typing. It's brilliant. The only downside is emacs; it's the only sensible IDE.

Haskell (and friends) are fantastic, but in my experience you have to be reasonably smart and work full-time with it, since every medium sized project gets turned into its own DSL (more so than with other languages). Maybe it's not ideal for consulting.
Really I think that hints that homelessness should be addressed federally just to stop the buck passing. Not helping matters is the electoral college biasing against urban areas where homelessness is more of a problem.
It's unethical to throw around accusations without much basis. I read the article, and Strava's claim could easily be that this is a unique innovation because it uses heat maps and not just road data to generate the route. I don't know, and it doesn't sound like anyone else knows enough to start name-calling.
Interesting, I’d say Manhattan is much more human scale - it’s so much more walkable than most of SF. Unless you just mean the scale of the buildings?
It's a mistake to think that just because something is written in 2019, it automatically benefits from the extra 40 years of collective experience. The collective has Korsakoff syndrome and aversion to history.

To be fair, there are two general kinds of legacy systems. Ones that work so well it makes no economic sense to replace them and ones that are such a giant, horrible clusterfuck that they warped the entire organization around their own idiosyncrasies. In the second case, replacing the system requires replacing most business processes as well, so it's very hard.
I'm specifically referring to housing prices. Parents raising kids put an even higher premium on SFHs because they want to live in places that are within a preferred school district. It's just one of many factors.
I applaud bringing up some of the unseen issues, especially regarding mental health, of the area.

But if you walk down a street in SF you risk stepping on a needle or human feces. It's a catastrophe and some of the issues raised here seem to pale in comparison.

Blockchain technology history: decentralize the integrity of digital data
I know you are asking generally, but the parent comment mentions the UK; more or less, the UK doesn't have earthquakes. Yes it has some, but:

https://www.bgs.ac.uk/discoveringgeology/hazards/earthquakes...

The British Geological Society lists "Significant Earthquakes since 1932" and there are twelve, but they're dated 1580, 1816, 1880, 1884, 1896, 1931, 1984, 1990, 2002, 2008, 1974, 1979. Three are offshore, three in the Scottish Highlands.

But wood in the UK was in demand by the Royal Navy, to the point where they depended on imported oak from the Baltics, forest cover in the (small) UK was down to 5% around the turn of 1900.

https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/jul/27/history-of-en... and a skim-read of the start of http://www.wou.edu/history/files/2015/08/Melby-Patrick.pdf

I wouldn't be surprised if the advantages of stone in the UK were/are availability until it became the default.
I mean, if we treat them like giants, fine. But this is more like a giant wearing a $1,500 suit standing on the shoulders of a normal-sized dude. Still, I'm all for it if everybody goes into it with the expectation of sharing, i.e. some permutation of an open source and/or free software philosophy or license, like 3/4 of your examples are based on. But if one for-profit company copies from another, it's not hard to see there's an underhanded element to it; somebody can't compete on the merits but wants to be paid anyway. I know I know, "it's just business."
Well now I just feel bad.
Worked for me (in the early access period).
I hope that the people who remember the OS/2 Workplace Shell have some idea. (-:
There's also a disposable culture around the resources involved. A mentor of mine always says "You can have it, but if you break it then you get to keep both pieces". Without value in the broken pieces, no one needs to clean up their own messes anymore, so there's no need to move carefully or fail gracefully. If you trash your dev env, or even your workstation, it's trivial to roll back or redeploy and get back to work. Management is in on it too. Rather than hire more careful devs, it's easier to just move the explosions farther away from prod, and limit the blast radius. CI/CD
Curious for anyone living in SF/SV and thinking about moving - what are your top choices?
