I have countless of examples of guys struggling for 2 months on some project. They get stuck, ask for help and I look at it and build it from scratch in a week.

Have you ever wondered why the engineers don't come and ask your advice before they waste a couple of months?

I'd much rather be known as an approachable and helpful engineer who juniors can ask for advice, even if it means I'll never be known as a 10X engineer.
>The people who actually put up those live streams are liable

Yet we insist on allowing anonymity on the net.

Either you know exactly who is doing what and can then make them liable for any consequences that follow from their actions OR you allow anonymity and live with the consequences of that decision as dark as these may be.
Why they say they are pushing this:

* "Speed up the load of above-the-fold content, since there will be less competition for network resources during the initial page load"

Why don't they just set a low priority for offscreen images and resources? Isn't this the entire premise for HTTP/2, that multiplexing with priorities and flow control would load the important data first? Do servers not implement the spec correctly? So this reason is BS as the data saved is immaterial.

* "Reduce memory usage."

Even commodity phones come with several gigabytes of RAM, the memory may have to be used anyway if the user scrolls, and if you have unlimited scroll or massive scroll something will need to unload data anyway. So this reason is marginal at best.

* "Save network data by avoiding downloading any deferred content that the user doesn't end up scrolling to"

Most phone plans are unlimited or have data capable of watching movies. On Google's own Fi plan "less than 1% of individual Fi users ... use above 15 GB". So this is another BS reason as the data saved is immaterial.

So why are they actually pushing this?

Under "privacy considerations": "so slightly more information about the user's scrolling position on the embedding page is exposed" and "a deferred cross-origin image gets an additional piece of information about the user's scrolling position".

This is not hard to figure out - they are barely even trying to hide it. Same thing as pushing HTTP/2, which I contend was at least partly to track people using socket IP:port address (for instance by keeping a single connection to google-analytics open that all domains' data goes through and boosting the connection keep alive from a few minutes to like half an hour, which they did).
This article is way way too early.
What benefits don't we get with async/await?
I'm ashamed when I see how much they are trying to charge.
Glybera was a gene therapy that nobody used basically because it cost too much. This is a clear example that a company will never reduce the price of such a therapy. The actions of Mylan and the scumbag Shkreli also highlights the thought processes of pharma companies. As such, we shouldn't waste our time. The government should be allowed to negotiate pricing. I don't believe this will suppress research into rare conditions. There has in fact been an explosion of therapies for rare conditions in the last 10 years.
As someone who is definitely on the "not ugly but also not attractive" demographic, I have ditched dating apps completely.

The focus on the visual to the exclusion of body language and personality chemistry just makes it a bad all around deal. From my experience, naturally meeting girls in the world is a much more pleasant experience.
I thought this was implemented already too.

> If surfaces were ideally polished, TIM would be absolutely not necessary

I'm skeptical of this, I'd be surprised if it's physically feasible to get literally perfect contact between the surfaces, micro-gaps are too real.
That's also not a thing.
They're as much an armchair physicist by questioning the inverse-square rule as you're an armchair psychologist by invoking "passive aggressive condescension". Or do you actually have the necessary qualifications to make that diagnosis?

Seriously though, it's a good question. Inverse-square rule is most likely well-founded, but reexamining such foundations is how you make theoretical progress - at least in mathematics, if I'm to believe Polya. I am not a mathematician itself, but it does seem like a pattern that generalizes well into solving theoretical problems in all domains ;).
I guess heres my bigger question. If some individual where to have knowledge of a murder or rape and it came to light that they were intentionally with holding the evidence of the crime, would this individual be committing a crime themselves?

I just imagine if someone found a snuff video on my basement that I would be in violation of a law.
>> To me (and many others) this topic is political in nature and controversial.

It's in the very next sentence.

But the competition must be ferocious for such generic things, which is why Im so surprised by these profit margins. I don't mean to pry with too many questions but are these the sort of sales and margins created even by sales of more or less generic products or do these people put heavy effort into positioning themselves differently?

Yes, VPNs might be unjustly talked about as a set-it-and-forget-it way to gain privacy online a bit, but what I find far more harmful is the blind trust people seem to have in their ISP. I often see the argument "You are just shifting trust from one company (ISP) to another (VPN).", yes, that might actually be the whole point.

ISPs can't be blindly trusted. I switched ISPs lately because my previous one started offering personalised TV-ads. This is a very scary topic and in Belgium it has already lead to some fishy things:

https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20160913_02466535

Nice quote with regards to personalised tv-ads:

"Er komt ook een nog verdergaande versie waarbij ook het surfgedrag zal leiden tot gerichte tv-reclame. Daarbij wordt gemonitord naar welk type websites er in een gezin vaak wordt gesurfd, om zo interessepatronen te ontwaren die lucratief kunnen zijn voor adverteerders."

"There will be a far-reaching version in which browsing behaviour will also lead to personalised tv-ads. The websites visisted by families will be analysed in order to discover interest patterns that could be lucerative for advertisers."

Add this to the many cases where ISPs have fought for being allowed to use deep packet inspection to monitor what we do and you start to see that ISPs in fact think they have a right to collect and sell our data. Am I not already paying for internet and TV?
Not true:

I think he's also putting it off because nobody's going to talk about him once the series is finished, and he can't bear to lose the attention.
I'm still wondering why when setting an alarm clock on locked screen iPhone by swiping up and opening the app from Control Center there is a lock icon instead of current time.
None of what you just described defines "competitive". A situation is competitive where one's gain is, another's loss. There's no such dynamic at play when programming, except maybe career advancement in big organizations. When I write better code today than I did yesterday, you, my teammate, will be happier, not sadder.
Well, airbnb does change that equation.

If your monthly rent in the city is between 500$-2000$/mo, but you could feasibly rent 100$-500$/day, you might opt for the second. This would take the property off the long-term rental market.
>Of course they do. People report.

Yes, but the damage has been done then. Parent is right. Facebook doesn't know what is being posted, only afterwards, when people tell them, then they know.
You might also very well accidentally write a piece of code that is not more than trivially different from some GPL code. In fact, I would argue that is much more likely.

I've contributed quite a few patches to open source projects, and sometimes if I'll review other patches I cannot tell the difference between code I've written or that others had written.
How can bone marrow be one of the first human foods? Humans had to learn the use of tools first to access bone marrow. Humans needed a better brain to figure out how to create and use tools.

Also, predators are very intelligent. They can and will break open bones. Domestic dogs do that. Hyenas are renowned for their bone-crushing abilities.

Bone marrow is not the only source of fat. There are plenty of plant-based foods rich in fat

Are you a 10x engineer or are they 0.1x engineers and how do you differentiate the two?
And when it is, the TV programs (where I grew up) need a delay in the loop so they can beep-out rude words if it’s before 21:00. Even mere expletives, let alone directed personal threats of violence, get censored on TV and radio.
The microwave at work here has a start button that triples as "Start with 1 minute" and "add another minute". So most things can be accomplished with just that one button without even touching the dial.
Not the OP but I can recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0321200683 and it has icons, too.
I invent another imaginary hypthetical situation:

4. Nobody makes any attempt to create a treatment, but after only six months a miracle occurs. Nobody dies and everybody is cured for no reason.

Not saying that there isn't any, but where is the evidence that a government funded research team would be slower than the privately funded one?
Technically it is doable, what it lacking is the demand. It is this lack of demand which I deem to be the biggest problem, the fact that the average net user does not realise - or does not care - that they essentially have being herded into a panopticon where the guards are selling tickets for the show to the highest bidder. Attempts to explain this nearly always are met with indifference or hostility. The indifference is the biggest problem here given that I suspect the hostility comes from people who are in denial and as such at least are partly aware of their role in the herd.
For me, it is less about typing and more about being sidetracked with hard-to-debug Typescript issues.

I also use HOCs a lot and it's painful with Typescript.
For spacemacs, I'd recommend you try it again in Holy mode with Ivy. Then slowly customize some of it to add some features and key bindings to your liking that make you more productive.

Emacs really clicks if you are someone whose going to learn your way around Emacs lisp and customize things to what works best for your style.

And make sure you use the develop branch.

Once you've groked that, you can slowly try to switch to Evil bindings, and explore if you enjoy modal editing or simply get some inspiration from the Vim editing commands and style.
We know why captcha might be needed. The question is why Google’s.
Maybe you have better things to do? Even if you're single, if you're doing reasonably well career wise, this is usually the time that you start becoming more "mature", have a lot of work experience, your peers trust and depend on you etc.
The articles like this are disastrous. So many people are using VPN to bypass government restrictions, protect themselves from ISPs, which are no longer run by idealists dreaming about uncensored access to information, but by managers, that will share your information with any agency the minute request shows up in their inbox. And these people don't always have good knowledge of how security works, and who this article can greatly mislead.

I subscribed to a small VPN service 5 years ago for one reason: I needed static IP address for work, but my ISP at the time wasn't selling them to private individuals (freelance).

And I couldn't be happier! Wherever I go I don't have any issues with access to my resources or worries that local government will fine me for watching porn (check out UAE or Saudi laws).

Hell, even Skype is blocked by a lot of telecoms around the world since you don't pay roaming fees when calling through it. How ridiculous is that? On VPN it worked everytime.

HTTPS is great, but it is by no means private enough. ISP knows which service you are requesting, they can do SSL inspection and all kind of shady bullshit without your consent. With VPN they only see that I talk to 1 IP address somewhere in Netherlands and that is it!
Sounds super interesting. Can you provide a link or a quick list of the things that you eat for your diet. I’m currently having great difficulty sleeping due to IBS.
I had the same experience with a fasting/keto regimen. The fasting had a big impact on how deep my sleep was. At times it almost felt like coming out of anesthesia at the hospital.
And SCOTUS disagrees with the article.

For incoming traffic yes, but outgoing traffic is heavily dependent on what you use. A lot of virtual spaces use the same outgoing IP
>You can short established coins like BTC and ETH.

You can, but it's hard to find reputable vendors that offer this that aren't bucketshop scams.
I am not referring to government robbing money in a crassly criminal/corrupt sense. My point was in reference to the government simply spending poorly the money it legitimately takes through legally sanctioned means (taxes), but then crying about budget problems despite this. I repeat, government size, reach and government spending are all at nearly record levels in most western states, despite this the focus keeps being placed on companies avoiding taxes instead of government reallocating its existing funds better. This is not simple whataboutism either, It's a point that's directly relevant to the arguments around to what degree companies should be allowed to avoid their perceived tax obligations.

Furthermore, you mention preferring having money robbed from you by someone in government than by some rich dude you never saw in your life. What's the difference? Since I assume your definition of theft is about actual stealing by either party, then in either case, someone you don't know is taking money you could have had access to for their personal benefit. Except that in the corporate case, the person in question is not even actually stealing from you, they're keeping more of something they first earned through sales. The corrupt government thief however literally takes from what was first taken from you by taxation.
Atkins diet is a ketogenic diet. First week is next to zero carbs. Then slow carbs are introduced gradually, always trying to keep the ketosis, that stops around 60 or 70 g of carbs a day.

No idea what "keto" label currently means. If you take a moment to review my previous comment, you'll see what exactly I was responding to.

Edit: just to make it more clear, Atkins didn't tell how much proteins or fat you should eat, that's up to you, just that you must keep ketosis on so you need to keep carbs under certain limits and completely avoid sugars.
No it isn't. Just because users aren't legally required to contribute doesn't mean that they don't have a moral duty to support the project, if they can. Given Amazon's vast resources I think it is reasonable to feel that they should help out a bit.
>is there something wrong with the people who repeatedly try and upload and share videos of mass shootings?

Yes. A detection system can be used to limit occurrences of this issue.

In this case, an issue with the detection system used on Facebook was demonstrated by a 20% failure rate.
Sometimes? I think the repeated uploads from the Christchurch video showed that their AI is not working.
> * This makes life harder in a modern world of various operating systems and high distribution. Some means of distribution mutilate white space. XML language design spent enormous effort considering for this.

Distributing source code with significant white space seems like a totally solved problem to me. When has this come up for you?

> Line termination differs by OS. Now it’s largely just posix vs Windows, but there used to be even more variance and there could be more in the future.

Why would there by more types of line terminators in the future? We already have two ways to do it, which is one too many. Who would add another? And if they did, why would all the text editors and software out there in the world be expected to adopt it?

> * code beautification is also highly subjective. Everybody has different opinions on beauty and easy to read. Providing the means to allow developers to exercise those opinions dynamically and automatically makes people happy. So long as it’s just vanity the code stills executed and reads the same way.

Personally, I don't care about people's subjective opinions or what makes them happy. I just want to be able to easily understand what the code does. I find it easier to understand code when it is formatted in a way that I'm familiar with. If each programmer has their own little formatting idiolect, that makes it harder for me to read their code. So, I think it's great when standardized formatting is built into languages, either with formatters (like go and elixir have) or by having a syntax that enforces uniform formatting (as is the case here).

I agree but your bandwidth will take a massive hit. I pay for my fiber so I can have fast internet, with TOR I would only be able to use a fraction of that.

We have been using Prisma for our newest project, and have really enjoyed it! The development experience is unparalleled in the Node.js world, it lets us move so quickly.

There are some rough edges, but the team is very responsive and they have fixed most of my minor gripes over the past months.

Overall I am happy we chose it and I would choose it again.
I dislike Medium, but not because it's slow (I've never even thought it was slow) but because of the vast amount of low quality content.

Unfortunately that site is full of people who think they can be tech bloggers and it's dragging the overall quality of the site down and hiding the actual good content.
It's not an argument that slower is better, but that the same duration was more acceptable to more people in the past.

I do think they got the years wrong though; by memory 4 seconds load time was acceptable around 2000, not 2006.
new accounts (below 14 days I think) are colored green.

I've found with me that, after trying keto for ages and loving how I felt but hating the diet itself, I managed to pin point the issue down to grains. Any form of grain, be it rice, wheat, barley, oats etc, all seemed to mess me up big style. I'n now on a diet of mostly fruit, nuts, beans, seeds and tubers and I'm better than I was on keto on almost every measurable factor. I think cutting out the carbs initially improves the lives of most people because it's a group of food that contains the biggest offenders in terms of IBS related trigger, but it's rarely carbohydrate in itself.

In terms of reintroducing foods, don't go back to carbs and cut back! You're just setting yourself up to fail. Just reintroduce carbs slowly up. Start with tubers and root veg, as from what I've read they're often the easiest in terms of digestion. Then move on to fruits, then nuts, then seeds, then finish with grains. It could well be you're gluten intolerant so there are only a few types of grain you're sensitive to.
That also explains why it's become astronomically harder to make it as a content creator, instead of easier, like this whole information revolution promised.
At least they're up-front about it[0]?

a) The unproven assumption you are making is that VPN providers are run by idealists, not by managers. There is no indication for this.
b) The article outlines that using a VPN to bypass national censoring measures is perfectly valid.
c) Your argument about the ISP knowing everything vs. the VPN provider knowing everything is exactly what the article is about. There is no indication to trust a VPN provider more than your ISP, for a number of reasons.

Put it the other way, what's the one thing that would be better if you did move to Vim?

Or in another way as well, what about Spacemacs/Doom would make you want to move away from it?
Awesome, didn't know that. Thanks!
Mandatory bullshit events forced on people who don't want to be there and then likely some stupid process to prove to the government that you attended the event is a horrible idea.

If you want to encourage face to face events then you need to transform urban spaces to be more walkable and create more public spaces people actually want to hang out at. If I go outside I could walk around for hours and the only people I would see are out there for fitness and do not wish to be disturbed by random chats.

Forcing people to do things is never as effective as making people want to do them in the first place.

I think no refined sugar will be my starting point if and when I ever reintroduce carbs. I've always exercised pretty consistently, I didn't have much weight to lose when I started the diet, and I still eat a load of cheese - so I think it's probably my best guess as a starting point.

Coffee is a funny one - I've never been able to make a direct correlation between that and sleep (it doesn't seem to have too much effect), but when I cut coffee down to (for the most part) a single cup in the morning, I now notice that a second cup will give me jittery legs.
Unfortunately this wouldn't stop anyone from transferring the patents to another legal entity that will grant the original company full right to use them but sue everybody else.
