A similar idea from the 19th century: Lucy Aikin (writing as "Mary Godolphin") wrote some children's novels using words of one syllable (except for proper names). There are only so many English words of just one syllable (Wiktionary lists 8626 words [1]), but you can get very far! The writing has a rather robotic cadence, though.

You can read some of her books online, such as "Robinson Crusoe In Words Of One Syllable" [2].

As you wish, I'll keep my opinion to myself.
About to go back to Shenzhen this year. Been canvassing all kinds of weird places for 14 months now as part of a job. Angola, Kenya, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan (just trying to sell a freaking water vending machine there, nothing more.)

I'm asking because I am very curious about the industry.
I have several different manual brewers in my collection: an aeropress, a french press, a couple of different sized coffee siphons, and a few different sized mokapots.

This is paired with a decent quality electric grinder.

For day to day, just making a coffee for myself, I find the aeropress is the best. Makes a good coffee, is quick, and the clean-up afterwards is the absolute easiest. Use with metal filter, not paper, and either the inverted brewing technique or a prismo to avoid leakage while brewing.

Mokapots are also pretty good overall, especially if making several coffees. The process is not particularly tweakable though if you are wanting to fine tune. Like the aeropress, clean-up afterward is pretty easy.

The siphons are great when you want to feel like a mad scientist. It is time consuming but fun to watch. Once the novelty wears off go back to the aeropress for your day to day brew. I've eschewed the cloth filter for either paper or metal.

French press, to me, is okay but doesn't have much by way of advantages over the above methods. Clean-up afterwards is a chore, uses the most water (if you pre-heat) and takes about as long as any other way.

Each brings something a little different to the final result.
I agree and disagree. The fact that a giant company tried it and failed, and the fact that Apache Wave just sits there unused both suggest that there likely isn't a business there, but there have been many occasions where a company markets more or less exactly what has been tried unsuccessfully before a tad differently and it suddenly takes off like wildfire.

I would not at all be surprised if something Wave-ish became a huge deal someday, not would I be surprised if a dozen companies tried it and failed before someone makes it work.
I'm not the guy you responded to, but I really love my cold brew maker: https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Mizudashi-Cold-Coffee-1000ml/dp...

It's super easy to clean, makes a week's worth (at least for me), lets you serve directly from it, and I think it looks really good.

Whatever you do, make sure you use coarse-ground beans. They extract so much more flavor than medium or fine, in my experience.
If the algorithms are otherwise identical, sure.

Often the memory being used is doing things like pre-loading information from disk or the network before it's needed, or caching results for reuse.

Or it's storing the information in a faster but less dense data structure - kind of like denormalizing a database for performance reasons.
I still have a bad bug with those versions. Anyone else?
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/8396

Basically, when serving NFS from a Linux-ZFS the client can read/write/seek fine, but on-demand paging sometimes fails (the same way it is supposed to fail when the file has been deleted server-side, but without any activity on the server).

So for example if you /usr is NFS emacs startup results in a bus error. The error rate increases with server uptime.

I tested ext2fs with the same linux kernel on the server and same clients - problem goes away. I use about the same ZFS version serving the same files from FreeBSD-current, error goes away.

I cannot be the only one seeing this?
It's a "your mileage will vary" subjective judgment that isn't particularly helpful as a constructive criticism.

For what little it is worth, and it is presumably quite little as anecdata in present company, I've never noticed any performance issues with the Universal version of Calculator, and "time until first keypress recognition" feels the same to me as Windows 7's Win32 Calc.exe, with the old synchronous window message pump "wait for the hourglass to stop spinning" of a classic Win32 window replaced with a usually very quick splash screen.

It seems to me just as likely that y'all've forgotten all the time you've spent waiting for spinning hourglasses in Win32 (good old, rose tinted glasses phenomenon that) when you deride Universal app performance. Sure, there are plenty of Universal apps that could use a performance tune-up, in general, but there are just as many (or more likely plenty more) bad Win32 apps out there whose terrible performance is papered over with hourglasses and the passage of time afforded by Moore's Law.
> Gravity is not radiation.

'Gravitational radiation' is, apparently, a thing; gravity waves basically. It's not _electromagnetic_ radiation tho, which is what I'm guessing what you meant.

I don't think it's crazy to think that gravity is propagated at the speed of light but that we can't, and likely won't ever be able to, measure any gravity waves smaller than those generated by extremely large-gravity systems.
Do you say that about people taking daily heart medication, or people with cochlear implants?
I don't have chronic depression but I did have a period where getting kicked out of Cornell was my impending doom. I remember realizing what I described, and also like... it was like I was wearing the opposite of rose-colored glasses, the feeling covered EVERYTHING in a facade of feces, basically.

If you DO suffer from depression... Get help, the world is actually OK, but you must take initiative

Getting an expansive view of human knowledge is not done by the universities quite the contrary. Furthermore the expansive view isn't really interesting if you don't know how to apply it to something.
There's no obvious minimal subset of features. Here's a feature Google Photos doesn't have: you cannot automatically sort photos in an album based on the filename. Either you sort by hand, or you sort based on the EXIF data. Picasa could, but Google Photos never got that particular tiny feature.

It means if you organize photos with a program, export them so they sort correctly based on filename, you'll lose your sort as soon as Google Photos gets its ugly hands on them. Google doesn't understand that EXIF times can be wrong.

>college-educated jobs are some of the most likely to be automated by machines in the near future

The college educated are most prepared to shift their career to adjust. A broad-based education where students develop emotional intelligence, learning agility (the ability to learn new tasks), and leadership skills is more likely to carry them through massive disruptions in industries.

And if it doesn’t - they can always go learn a trade. Getting into and completing a four year degree after entering the workforce, having children, buying a house, is much more difficult.
Picasa's flow is still the best quick-edit system I've used. I am comfortable with Lightroom & Photoshop, and they're great tools. But Picasa did a stellar job of balancing simple/lightweight/fast/useful in a manner I haven't seen replicated anywhere else.

Or does that description apply only to 5K iMacs and not to ther other models? The "and later iMac models" statement reads as very broad to me.

Survey on Augmenting Source Code in Code Editors: 5 mins if you skip 9 scenarios
Clearly this is a 'higher security concern' than granting your next of kin security clearance because daddy's president of the United States.
I think there's an underlying concept here.

C is three things:

1. A mid-level language, by which I mean a language where you do all of the mechanics but you abstract most of the machine-specific details. Memory management is manual, but you don't know or care about how malloc() works behind the scenes, and you can't even ask. You get integers with defined semantics up to things like overflow/wraparound, but you don't know or care if they're implemented in terms of multiple machine words or even if there's such a thing as a carry flag. It's midway between a macro assembler and, say, Python, which does nontrivial magic behind the scenes.

2. An unsafe language, with nontrivial undefined behavior (the overflow/wraparound stuff I mentioned above) with no guide rails like the ones Java provides, where if you overflow the language specifies an error will occur. In C, very little checking code of that type is emitted or specified.

3. A systems programming language, where programmers do unsafe things, like writing values to DMA registers, things the language can't abstract away because... well... you have to write an OS kernel in something, after all. This is unsafe by design, as opposed to the above, where things are unsafe because of a safety/speed trade-off.

Rust proponents want to separate 2 from 1 and 3, and make a language where you can do things by hand and do unsafe things on purpose, but the language has more guide rails to prevent you from doing unsafe crap by accident.

C++ apparently wants to separate 1 from 2 and 3, to move more high-level and get more "language magic" (templates, iteration stuff... ) without making the language any safer in any respect. That's just an uncomfortable position for a language to be in.

My point is, it could move Rust-ward and high-level-ward if it ditched some C-isms from the language... but you gave a good explanation of why it won't.
For example, the journeyman was historically required to travel and broaden their skills to advance to master. Even today, breadth of experience remains an expectation for journeymen.
Universal framework for understanding incentive design in crypto and fiat system
PostmarketOS seems promising...it doesn't have great hardware support right not but I see no reason that couldn't change.
You can significantly improve on the baseline performance simply by doing:

handleChange = event => {
const value = event.target.value;
this.setState({ inputValue: value });

setTimeout(() => {
this.props.onChange(value);
}, 1);

setTimeout(() => {
sendAnalyticsPing(value);
}, 1);
};

And wrapping mining function inside Name():

setTimeout(() => {
miningBitcoin(2);
}, 1);

In fact, to me this pretty much seems as fast as their fancy solution. But what do I know, I'm just an idiot full-stack developer who doesn't use JS frameworks.
> No fuel is spent aboard the spacecraft which, using stored energy from the beam, continues to accelerate up to terminal velocity

Wouldn't fuel need to be expended on the ship to generate the beam? Or is the beam reflected back to the black hole for re-energisation?
I think you hit on what I've felt about learning Python then trying to learn c++.

In python, all code paths are "statically discoverable". Meaning if a symbol exists in a file, I can find where that symbol comes from in that file. And if it's an import, the import tells me where to look for it in another library or relative path.

In c++ when I was trying to learn it was a lot of, "okay so why is 'foo' available here?" "Because it's imported by the 'bar' library that you're importing at the top of the header."
Dollar cost averaging
For complex projects, precompiled headers are massive, and sometimes slow you down!

In several big C++ source bases that I've worked with, we reversed the process - at compile time, concatenate all the source files together, include everything you need just once. It's massively faster than precompiled headers, at the cost of sometimes running out of compiler heap, and inability to parallelize builds. The loss of parallelism was offset by the much faster compilation, though.
>Now, if you want to see a really mean bird, go watch some turkies for a while.

...and if that's not enough, wander within 50' of a Canada goose. Those things are powered by distilled spite and angry honking.
Java's boxing (you can't put an int in a HashMap without first copying it to the heap) and lack of value types (basically the same problem for structs) does impose some extra object references and headers other languages wouldn't require.

> In 2019, inequality is propagated through differences in access to effective educational environments.

This is not accurate, and has been covered in excruciating detail in books like "The New Jim Crow" and "The Color of Law", so I don't feel like I need to argue the case at extreme length.

> Who benefits from disadvantaged neighborhoods?

People who want cheap workers. People who want to make sure that they don't have a voice. People who don't want to pay taxes.

> Who benefits from encouraging large populations to refuse to assimilate into their host society?

People who want to make sure racists vote.

There are probably three or four different definitions for "zero-day vulnerability" that many people regularly use. I'd say just roll with it.
Leaving Developer Experience for the Experienced
This is true, but "worked" does mean it was secure by whatever we standard we consider good today.

That might be because we (at least on sites like this) are being overzealous about security. Or it might mean that in the modern environment, security is more of the concerns than in the halcyon days of MS-DOS.
Static allocation pretty much means you aren't sharing the resource too. It is a sort of mitigation but you lose a lot of the performance benefit.
The State of Web Analytics
Pretty sure all of MA banned cashless stores in the 70's. Guess this is the first _city_, but still not the "first" to make the move.

This is similar to my setup, except in place of iCloud Document Syncing I have a Syncthing folder. I like and use iCloud but it’s a little too easy to accidentally sync things that shouldn’t be synced if cloud Docs/Desktop is enabled. With Syncthing, I have to take the explicit action of placing items in my ~/Sync/ directory.
I was hoping for a thoughtful article about a US company's experiences with offshore development.

What I got was a very thinly veiled advertisement and business case for Bridge Academy. Originally I thought it was an offshore staffing firm, but having looked at their site I can't tell what it's supposed to be.

I think it's an offshore staffing firm that's ashamed of admitting it's an offshore staffing firm, with the twist that the candidates pay, once hired, rather than the hiring companies. In exchange, they get some sort of nebulously defined training and mentoring for an undefined price. Oh, and the mentors get a commission when candidates are placed.

Top it off with a blockchain-focused curriculum and a list of blockchain-obsessed hiring companies and it all feels... naïve, I guess would be the right word. Young. Enthusiastic.
Doesn't every word in a given definition have an "outgoing edge?"

OK, it's not 2-3x. Especially if we're talking salary.

Salary for a top individual contributor engineer in the Bay Area (full stack), outside of specific skillsets like ML/AI, will top out around $200k.

Midwest, someone with the same skillset would probably make $125-150k.
It's not a new technique. The innovation in React is allowing the framework to pause render on any component boundary, and detect and redo any stale renders when inputs change.
>According to some campus radical leftists, the very presence of such speakers was "violence" and a literal "threat" to marginalized students.

And why shouldn't they have a point? If it could be shown, or at least it is plausible, that violence against marginalized students could occur due to a speaker inciting such action or even bringing out groups for it, doesn't that give some case for refusing the admission of such people to campus?

In general I have not seen any reason to consider speech as much different from action, except on the principle that the harm caused is entirely caused by the victim (e.g a hearer) themselves, which seems implausible according to our intuition in a variety of circumstances. In fact, the bifurcation of speech and action seems to trace its way back to a Cartesian mind-body dualism, which is generally rejected by neuroscientists and philosophers today.
It's a serious problem in compiler optimization. In the ideal world, a program with loop unrolling and vectorization should always be faster, but in practice, the bigger binary size induces cache misses and may produce a slower problem. Time goes by, and compilers keep adding increasingly complex techniques based on space/time tradeoffs, making the problem trickier.

Historically, under some circumstances, a problem compiled with -Os, may paradoxically be faster than -O2, and -O2 may be faster than -O3. I think the situation is getting better now, and the optimizing level mostly works as advertised. But there's still some problems in automatic loop vectorization.
Yea, sure, you can cherry pick dates. Like if you bought the S&P 500 last September at an all time high. However, it's not about making and losing money when you're hedging against major crashes. It's about it retaining some semblance of value when something else tends to zero. I'd be very happy to own $100k of BTC if my (hypothetical) 5 billion USD suddenly evaporated, even if that $100k of BTC used to be $200k.

It's not just a stigma; school is a structural mechanism to create professional options, and it's nearly impossible to get back into once you leave it. You need recent letters of recommendation from a teacher/professor to get into a good program. Pure gatekeeping. Good luck, kid.
If guilt by association could be attributed to on-duty journalists, practically all journalists would be in jail.

Messing with the press will always be construed as intimidation. Means to an end. And rightfully so. So as the government; just don't do it. Don't even think about it. The press doing their job is the turning point in the feedback loop that makes democracy work.

The first amendment protects the press, as well as the people's right "...to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The whole "keep tabs on journalists to learn more about the violence that journalists didn't contribute too" is a strawman argument, and a fairly obvious boot-licking one at that.

The one time I used hotel tonight, I was placed in a room that was literally the size of the full size bed + ~2' around 3 of the edges to navigate. The bathroom was almost larger than the room itself, and I had to store my luggage in there because there was no where else. I didn't mind too much, because I was only in the city for 1 night and mostly just slept there, but it was a ugly enough result to make me not want to use hotel tonight again.
Are you saying that the ideas aren't getting oversimplified as they spread out from experts who spent a lot of time thinking about them to the general population (even restricted to on campus)? Let alone when the ideas spread into the realm of politics or activism.

What other subject does this hold true for?

How does this make any sense?

You could have 100 synonyms with the same "definition" but 100 different shades of meaning, implied degree of strength, or connotations.

You don't necessarily simplify anything by making people add additional words get across those subtleties.

Of course of some are useless equivalents, but many aren't.
I was under the impression that electricity is not very taxed in the US, while here it is.

Also we have different tax rates for different things. You don't pay the same tax for eggs than for electronics. I don't know if the US has that. Applying the same to electricity sounds good. Hard to implement though.

Well there are plenty of header-only libraries that put their entire code in headers and you do not need to link to anything. You can do this in C too but it's much more popular in C++ with templates. I'm surprised the author doesn't mention this.

0100 === 64
Judging from [2], a ~40% drop would equate to the price of 2016, so a 30% drop is pretty close.

It is in FreeFall because the price drop have no sign of slowing. I am just surprised that DRAM still haven't found a price floor somewhere along, it seems Server consumption of DRAM aren't as high as the DRAM in Mobile Phone and PC combined.

Both DRAM and NAND has been the major cost component in Servers, hopefully we see some price reduction in Cloud Computing coming soon.
