Broad generalizations about nations are rarely accurate.

It has to do with the owners of the elevators choosing to override the programming.

Elevator doors are initially programmed to stay open for a period of time based on their capacity, intended use, type of building, etc...

If the owner or installer of the elevator finds this default not suitable for the environment and use, then the wait time can be changed, and/or the door close button function can be altered.

[edit] In some elevators, the reason the door close button doesn't work is because it's not meant to be used by ordinary people on an ordinary day. It's meant for when the elevator is in utility or fire mode, used by maintenance people, firefighters, moving companies, etc...

They push the door open button and the door opens, and stays open while equipment is moved in and out. The door closes when the door close button is pressed.

People assume every button is for them.

The "fun" aspect is one of the reasons I'm skeptical of arguments that driving stick is somehow safer. That is, I suspect that nowadays, in America anyway, car enthusiasts self-select for driving stick to the extent that we can't draw conclusions from their competence. (For what it's worth, I also drive stick.)

Legacy, more than anything else. Nano has been a thing for decades, and it will likely be a thing for decades more.

Are there better, more powerful editors out there? Sure. But just like vim, you can expect to find nano pretty much anywhere, and if you need to make a quick change, say to a configuration file on a bare-bones system, that's nice.
I think you mean well with this comment, but you're thinking about it incorrectly. Imagine that it's possible to implement these features in the FastISel subset; okay, we do that. Now, we're generating way more code. So we're back to square one.

Being able to implement something does not mean that by implementing it a different way, it will certainly be faster. And that's what we're talking about here, compilation speed, not computational equivalence.

We find tons of bugs in LLVM due to using certain features (like noalias) that are used a lot by Rust and very, very little by current C or C++ codebases. That shouldn't be particularly surprising. Nor should it be surprising that LLVM is mostly optimized for making C and C++ compilation times fast, and not necessarily other languages.

Again, as I said, it's a complex, multi-faceted problem. You can't just say "well, Zig compiles to LLVM, and it compiles fast, checkmate." That's not how engineering works.

(And, note that FastISel is "This is a fast-path instruction selection class that generates poor code and doesn't support illegal types or non-trivial lowering, but runs quickly." So, the thing I'm talking about is a thing that would help debug build times, but not production build times. I'm not claiming that this one specific thing is the root cause of poor compile times, in fact, I'm claiming the opposite: there are a number of different things that all come together to lead to compile times being not as fast as we'd like.)
> What kind of net worth should you have before considering angel investing?

Thumb in the air, angel investments should be no more than 2 to 3% of your liquid (sellable, with minimal price disruption, within 90 days) investable assets. (One should also be an accredited investor.)

So if you're cutting a $10k cheque, you should have $500k socked away in liquid investments and $1 million in total assets. If you're cutting two $25k cheques, you should be investing out of a portfolio of ~$2 to 3 million.

emacs is a significantly larger installation (disk) than nano, taking longer to install and more system resources consumed. If I'm jumping into a small VPS to tweak something, or auto-installing an editor in every docker container, nano wins over emacs.

As a developer who almost exclusively uses GUI editors (Sublime / IntelliJ) I have lost the emacs skills I gained in college, and I don't use emacs enough to remember the key strokes necessary to make it more useful than nano. It's more difficult than nano because I have to google a cheat-sheet every time I use emacs.

I never liked vim.

Nano is a great terminal editor, has enough commands to make me productive when needed, and I use it exclusively for terminal text editing.
>>> A car with a stick shift and clutch pedal requires the use of all four limbs, making it difficult to use a cellphone or eat while driving. Lapses in attention are therefore rare, especially in city driving where a driver might shift gears a hundred times during a trip to the grocery store.

I'm a cyclist, so I can see from above who's eating and using a cellphone. Stick shift is no barrier.

I also drive a stick shift car. Shifting requires no attention. It's a reflex, by necessity because you have to pay attention to traffic. The first couple weeks of teaching your kids to drive stick shift are hair raising because it distracts them from driving safely.

If stick shift cars were safer, it would have been reflected in our insurance rates, right? I don't believe it.

Sure, stick shift is fun, under the right conditions. And it gives a feeling of involvement and a special skill involved in driving a car, other than just getting from A to B in one piece. I get it. But at the same time, I also feel that shifting a car a million times is enough to prove that I can do it, and I'm ready for my next car to be automatic.

And I suspect that in practice that the fuel economy advantages of stick shift were erased by the "fun to drive" aspect. I've never been in a stick shift car, where the driver chose shift points for economy rather than for power and acceleration.
Even on larger code bases I've found that the only real discipline needed is maintaining a test suite, and that's true for every language.

Thanks for the straightforward reply!

Are there plans for a self-hosted option? Some business might be scared of being so dependent on Gumlet's uptime for their mission critical image processing.

Gumlet seems to cater towards processing images on the fly, which is what a lot of your competitors also do. It might be interested to also cater towards using Gumlet as a service to pre-process images as part of a pipeline.

I am just thinking aloud, I have no real basis for these ideas at the moment. Just my two cents.

I wish you the best of luck and I'll keep Gumlet in mind, the homepage looks very sleek.
Through the late 1990s except EPA (since it became a town in the 80s). Nowadays there are still some homeless folks, but there used to be plenty of people living in homes on public assistance along with everyone else downtown, at cal ave etc. I remember a Palo Alto person-on-the-street question about "what's your favorite shop?" and the person replied "Woolworth's, because I can afford things there". No woolies or other discount shops downtown any more. The SROs are now boutique hotels.

I used to live in Professorville in a house with 10 people and a band in the basement and we got along with our neighbors just fine. Even over-loud parties were handled in a friendly fashion. Nowadays the cops get called on anything, kids jump in front of trains...too much freaking out instead of freaks. What happened to SF has been exported to Silicon Valley as well.

A global counter is difficult because shared global mutable state should be difficult —- it can wreak havoc on your code. That said, if you’re really set on it it’s not particularly bad

counter :: IORef Int
counter = unsafePerformIO (newIORef 0)

usesGlobalState :: IO ()
usesGlobalState = do
count <- readIORef counter
putStrLn (“the counter was “ ++ show count)
modifyIORef (+1) counter

It’s even easier in ocaml, where you’d use ref and not need to worry about the IO monad.

Anecdotally, I find it incredibly rare that such a thing is desirable, when you could instead create it in an IO monad and pass it through to functions that need it. But, it’s there when necessary. And making this kind of anti pattern hard is a strength of these languages, not a weakness.

Pomodoro fits in reasonably well with good ergonomics practices. From the Cornell University Ergonomics group's page on sitting and standing at work:

> Sit to do computer work. Sit using a height-adjustable, downward titling keyboard tray for the best work posture, then every 20 minutes stand for 8 minutes AND MOVE for 2 minutes. The absolute time isn’t critical but about every 20-30 minutes take a posture break and stand and move for a couple of minutes. Simply standing is insufficient. Movement is important to get blood circulation through the muscles. And movement is FREE! Research shows that you don’t need to do vigorous exercise (e.g. jumping jacks) to get the benefits, just walking around is sufficient. So build in a pattern of creating greater movement variety in the workplace (e.g. walk to a printer, water fountain, stand for a meeting, take the stairs, walk around the floor, park a bit further away from the building each day).

Funny question to be asked on a Y Combinator property. Angel investors were the cottage industry financial gears of the early venture landscape. As Silicon Valley matured, the factories (i.e. Y Combinator et al) got into gear. These "factories" can offer better terms--overall--in large part through their scale (e.g. alumni networks, demo day, et cetera).

It's a classic maturation story. Angels still have an edge in domains with philanthropic credentials or where such scaling advantages don't present themselves, e.g. in niche technologies or geographies.

> As far as disabling JS... [...] it’s 2019.

Ads, tracking, and things like Magecart are still a huge scourge. Meanwhile that SPA isn't such a big "value add" to my life. I agree that devs working with JS need to be responsible, need to accept downsides and the upsides. And they've repeatedly proven they can't be trusted with this when business interests conflict.

I realise this probably makes me a luddite, but blocking or tampering with JS, however crude that is, is one of the only avenues left for controlling web content as a consumer.

I think there's some misunderstanding of performance in the browser here. This library might make smooth animations when its observer system is used (doing it in parallel to the main update flow is best), but only while complexity is kept low.

Looking at the code, all it does is queue each observer listeners using RAF, the moment the component tree takes longer than 16ms to render, or a single component does a bit more work than expected, you'll get dropped frames. To actually ensure 60FPS it would need a more sophisticated scheduling system that is able to time-slice the updates (== asynchronous rendering) and possibly interrupt updates.
Of those two (nano/vim), I've also found it easier to introduce people to nano. I personally use vim, but if I'm doing a tutorial for people who aren't very familiar with the unix terminal, and at some point in the tutorial they need to edit a config file, I'd rather not take a big digression into explaining vi's modal-editing concept just to change one line in a config file.
I feel like this is a poor example. In this case the input should never have been number in the first place.
Autism and ADD are fairly often co-morbid, and ADD is the most treatable mental condition (via stimulant therapy). If you have executive function issues (procrastination, losing things, inability to remain focused on boring tasks, self-medicate with lots of caffeine, etc), you can get a combined Autism + ADD diagnosis and try out amphetamine or methylphenidate.

As far as the autism itself, what a diagnosis gives you is access to talk or group therapy, possibly accommodations at work or school, and maybe classes for picking up social and coping skills.

Workplace accommodations are a mixed bag: you have to tell your work about your autism and implicitly threaten a disability lawsuit against them to get them. If you're in software and you need to have a desk without rear-facing traffic, you often have the negotiating power to just ask for that as a thing that helps you do your job better, so the diagnosis isn't particularly useful. Oh also, the "just ask for things you need" works better for smaller accommodations at smaller companies, the diagnosis is way more useful for the more bureaucratized environments at large companies.
I think only a minority of bicycle advocates are talking about forcing people that now ride cars to ride bikes instead. That would be plain stupid. Most people are talking about making biking as safe and convenient as cars currently are, allowing people that want to ride bikes, to do it safely. That in it self should sway some commuting practice.

No one is trying to force the elderly, the pregnant and the handicapped to ride bikes. They can still use their cars, taxis and buses while the city is plowing the bike lanes for us healthy adults that like to ride our bikes to work.

Do note that while I say that harsh winters pose no problems to biking in general, I’ve found my self taking the bush in the worst winter weathers in Reykjavík. Which brings the point home that bike infrastructure is not mutually exclusive to other transportation.

Browsers should be on our side. If they're failing at that, then they're not good.

Personally, I'd like browsers to be much smarter about which cookies to keep and which to throw away. Keep cookies about settings, throw away everything else. And instead of not accepting cookies, leading to sites complaining about that, just accept them and throw them away at the end of the session.

Also, I'd really like the option to open some sites always in incognito mode. Many sites have no business knowing who I even am, but some really do. Same cookie policy for all sites makes no sense. Cookies need to be a lot more transparent, and instead of relying on annoying and incomprehensible GDPR popups, the browser should take care of that.

Angel investing is for everybody :)

But fits squarely into the "5% of investible assets" category, aka HIGH RISK.

Two things about angel investing I wish I'd had a better grip on when I made my first handful:

1 - Very high risk and almost impossible to pick winners out of a pool even for established investors. Wins are extremely concentrated, and most positions lose - aka it's more akin to roulette unless you have a distinct advantage. Most "professionals" - aka established super angels like Calacanis or new entrants like Ryan Hoover via weekend.fund - target 30 - 50 investments per "fund" to mitigate this reality.

2 - Successful angel investments, even when they pay off, are usually illiquid for 5 - 9 years. Secondary markets are still being established and unless you manage to invest in Uber it's unlikely that you'll even have that opportunity.
I learned to drive with a stick shift in San Francisco. And while I do admit that at the time it was fun to parallel park on a hill, I have an EV now with a continuously variable transmission and I don't miss sticks at all. I don't miss replacing the clutch or servicing transmissions. The combination of less toil along with less noise makes for less stress.

Traffic Aware Cruise Control improves safety as well. I set my gap at 7 car lengths giving me a safety buffer that I've never had before. I don't think that'd even be possible with a stick.
> Personally I find type systems a lot more annoying because they lead to more verbose code and more cognitive load.

Have you forgotten the cognitive load of "what does this return and what can I call or access on it?"

> There are studies that show bugs being proportional to the number of lines of code, regardless of language

But that value isn't the same across all languages, only the trend.

Makes sense.

I'm only willing to drive a manual. It's getting harder to find them in new cars. Some companies can build them, or still release a few.

(Toyota said my car's model had 5% in Manual transmissions)

If I have to, I'll buy exclusively used cars to stick to a manual transmission.

In my view, what will ultimately change the game is fully electric cars. From my experience, the broader torque curve makes a big difference.
