So a good PR could frame this as having pre-empted the quake, and launched an era of managed, controlled quakes.

Also, just like after that scream, there is no avalanche risk, since all the snow slid down the valley, there should now be no quake risk for quite a while at that site.

Baldness is something negative, it makes you less attractive. Like being fat, or having big ears, or being short. And? Should we change that? How? Should women be with bald men out of pity even if they are not attracted to them? All of this sounds ridiculous.

Mailchimp Statement on Shopify Partnership
I'm building internal apps with Javascript (Vue + vanilla) and Go. Both Vue and Go have good documentation. As a result, I'm not using Stack Overflow nearly as much as I once did.

With Go especially, my default move when I have a question, is to go to golang.org/pkg and find find the package I'm having issues with. Assuming it's a standard package problem, of course. The built in editor for examples is really great. I can run a little test quickly, and move on.
I've spent some time living in a third-world country and one of the things I've observed is that even the poorest people are still living in some sort of structure that is capable of providing a limited amount of protection from the elements, a small bit of privacy, and a place to come back to at night. Even in villages, these small homes have electricity and satellite TV. They're often built with low cost materials like bricks and tin roofs, but they allow people who can't afford a brick-and-mortor home the opportunity to have some stability in life.

I'm a big fan of safety regulations for construction but after time living abroad, I'm beginning to see a case for loosening some construction rules to make true low-cost housing available to more people. I don't intend to say bricks and tin, nor so dense it becomes a large fire risk, but some simple allowances that would let people build theirselves a small place to call home without city regulators barring it. Perhaps this could help with the increasing amount of health issues occurring like typhus.

- you crash when something goes wrong, and you fsck and it takes forever
and you get frustrated.
- people have given up on Linux kernel programming because it's too hard

- it takes longer to create new features.

The black-white IQ gap in the US is not scientifically disputed. [1]

US prisons are ~38% black. [2]

Not to mention that in general, and without taking into account race, you don't expect the brightest to be in there.

Ergo average IQ in US prisons being much lower than in Norwegian prisons.

After learning about hep C (diarrheal, can survive in an infectious state for up to 6 months outdoors) the issue of sanitation became very 'real' to me.

I had the idea of starting a charity to rent port-o-potties for the homeless encampments near our office. For context, my company is filled with _completely_ woke people, super concerned about social justice and stuff like that...

But when i pitched the idea everyone universally shot it down, in disgust and with a dismissive attitude like it wasn't even worthy of consideration.

It messed with my head. It's a symptom of our fucked up country where "wokeness" is a separate idea from kindness, where disgust about the poor crosses all colors of skin, and it's worth keeping the poor in misery even when that decision threatens your own health.

Yeah, his baldness detector is not robust as it just checks the average color of the area above the forehead, but you could make a robust one through transfer learning a deep model trained on ImageNet further finetuned on a small dataset of a few dozen images of bald and non-bald.

Something like this:
https://www.kaggle.com/dansbecker/transfer-learning

This method gets good, robust performance with just a few minutes of training.
Since trained classifiers are already being used, and therefore fair game, a trained baldness classifier would be a better choice, I think. Of course you would need a dataset for that.

It isn't certain that an earthquake would happen either way. Take the example of a spaghetti noodle. If you bend it and it breaks, it releases a lot of energy due to the bending stress. If you introduce a defect in the middle of it, it breaks before building up that much stress. However, we don't know if whatever is bending the noddle would eventually do so until it breaks. Maybe it wouldn't.
One of the issues with pieces like this is that it implicitly agrees that the only way to engage people on the internet is by arguing. This promotes a them-vs-us mentality and the desire to "win" the argument.

I am usually trying to engage people in discussion, not "win" an argument. I try to add value to the discussion, not "win."

I especially dislike the general assumption that winning the argument means making the other person lose. Some people are seriously not happy with just being heard. No, they want someone else to go down in social rank or look like a fool. Without that element, they obviously aren't happy.

Capitalism "enables" charity in the same way capitalism "creates" products. It doesn't. Wealth enables charity, labor creates products.

Capitalism does however spread inequality, which in turn creates an opportunity for charity that wouldn't otherwise be necessary.
I wholeheartedly agree with K&R.

A lot of the hard problems I've debugged have been the interaction of multiple state machines. In these cases I needed to see the forest of interactions rather than the trees of instructions. On top of that, I felt it was faster with getting more information up front (the entire log) rather than identifying what I need to look at, starting the program with debugger attached, setup break points, get more information, and repeat (yes, a lot of my problems required relaunching the process or even rebooting so I could start from a known good state, yay hardware drivers).
Really, are you serious? I can't tell.

I'm generally liberal, but I have absolutely 0 confidence that the asinine state and local governments whose policies led to this condition, would be skilled even more to get us out of it if we just gave them more money.

You don't think that the ineptitude / conflicts of the sort that prevent housing construction and neighborhood change would similarly infect any decision on who to tax, how to distribute it? While creating yet another new CA state agency to administer it? How many bandaids do you want to apply?

I would start with the book 'Practices of an Agile Developer: Working in the Real World'.

That is not to go against other advice in this thread about watching videos, reading other books, making lots of mistakes, and so on. And it's also not to imply that there is a single 'best practice', either.

But what this book gives you is a load of solid places to start, on many different subjects that are important for developers. Subjects like issue-tracking, code style, how to learn and stay up-to-date, tests, infrastructure, resilience, working in a team, sharing knowledge, and so on.

It doesn't relate to any particular language or architecture. And it has some great tips for the situation you describe, where you are trying to do a good job in the context of a team that doesn't have any clearly defined practices.

I'd buy the paperback, not an eBook, and scribble in every margin. When you've read it, carry it with you and dip in and out.

Once you have read this, then a lot of other sources of material will make a lot more sense. Some of them might contain better ideas than those in this book, which is fine; the great thing about reading this book is that you'll be in a good position to evaluate other ideas.
Indeed, I too was shocked to see them come up with a patch solution vs recognizing that perhaps the plane design and the oversized engine are the areas that need attention. Sorry Boeing, some things don’t blow over. I think the public took note and the damage is already done. The best thing they can do now is own up to their mistakes.

Even on the west coast there is plenty money allocated for fighting homelessness. The problem is that long-term chronic homelessness almost always results from either mental illness and/or drug abuse.

Forcible eviction or institutionalization always leads to legal battles with activists leading to municipal governments simply doing nothing.

I would describe a web-app as “any website that can’t be replaced by a Static Site Generator outputting to a public_html directory of a stock-standard Apache 1.3 installation on a locked-down server that has no CGI-bin.” (So, the SSG could output .htaccess files, and even files that contain Server Side Includes, but can’t do CGI, FCGI/WSGI, PHP, or in-server Lua like OpenResty.)

Or, a simpler definition: a webapp is any website that you can’t effectively host on your ca. 1995 ISP’s web hosting.

Many webapps where the “app” is purely in a CMS backend (e.g. most Wordpress sites) are websites. Unless they include comments, in which case they’re not. Unless those comments are JavaScript-embedded third-party (e.g. Disqus) comments, in which case they are. :)
Unboxing videos were one of the reasons YouTube got banned from our kids in my home. There really aren’t any redeeming qualities in those videos.

> It takes less time to decide where to put print statements than to single-step to the critical section of code, even assuming we know where that is.

Stupid question - did their debugger not have breakpoints? Not that that would make using the debugger superior in all cases, but would eliminate time wasted "single stepping to the critical section".

I do agree with their overall point.

Please see my explanatory reply where I described the key components of FP. I don't deny that there are lots of languages people call functional or multi-paradigm that are in fact not functional or are only borrowing some ingredients without providing enough to follow the paradigm. When we define a paradigm, we are defining the core abstraction of how programs are constructed. In FP, that would be composing functions, hence the name.

We FPers borrow or share concepts with OOers. The State monad (our basic building block of holding state) is very much like OO method chaining for example. But those similarities do not make either equatable with the other.
quite a bit of open source software is maintained and consumed by megacorps nowadays - like, OSS really does become a way for conglomerates of companies to share tech (when the alternative is monopoly-supplied monocultures, it makes a lot of sense). The hardware world seems analogous to what the software world was like in the 90s - a small number of proprietary platforms.
No, because many of those companies are bought before they can hit an inflection point and become dangerous to an incumbent.

This is why I love debuggers. Well, the Chrome debugger. But I find that this situation is less common or doesn't happen at all when I'm writing Java with unit tests. It seems like dynamic environments like the browser are more ripe for debugger use as you describe. But then again, I've met some incredible developers who made really great browser UI (ie the RethinkDB UI) who told me they've never used the browser debugger.

I was homeless for nearly six years. I did my level best to never use a port-a-potty. I think they are generally gross.

I think the only exception was one set up permanently in a park as the only bathroom there. It was not as gross as the ones set up on city sidewalks, apparently usually for homeless individuals.

I really dislike most solutions aimed at helping the homeless. They are often solutions no middle class person would accept.

If you wouldn't want it for yourself, please think about why you think this is a good thing to do for the homeless population. It probably isn't. It's probably part of the pattern of societal behavior that helps keep this issue entrenched.

America is a very mobile country. One best friend moved a couple of hundred miles when we were in elementary school.

I moved after college.

It's cool, but even back in the day people that competitively played Quake 2 & 3 would turn down every detail to be very low, sans the resolution. In part because it helped with lag, but it also made spotting enemies much easier.

Personally, I use Rust for things that are very far from systems programming - web apps, game development and small utilities for now (although I'm eager to at least try app development on it, when it gains at least minimum amount of support). That's the beauty of Rust for me: perfomance and correctness of a system programming language that is actually usable for product development.

The idea sounds great but the landing page could be so much more informative. Ignoring the testimonials and the looping video that's hard to discern concrete information from you are left with very little in the way of information to justify the expense. That's not to say the product isn't worth what you charge, it most likely is, just that I believe it's doing itself a disservice in convincing me to use the trial. If each one of your selling points from that 3up column section where it's own section with more details on how it works and how easy that particular feature is to use etc I think would do a much better job at convincing people.
