No, this is still a payment against technical debt. From the top of Martin Fowler's article:

"The extra effort that it takes to add new features is the interest paid on the debt."

If adding a new feature starts with, "just throw out all the code and start from scratch", that's a much larger cost over the long term than building code that's easier to maintain and refresh.
I went to JCMC (Jersey City Medical Center). I looked for programs in NYC but all are in Queens or Brooklyn. From work (midtown NYC) I was able to ferry or subway to Jersey City and make a 6PM class time. One caveat - this preps you for the National test and a NJ practical exam. So you would need to schedule an extra exam to get the NYState cert...

Expense was ~1300USD plus book for a 6 month course (Tues, Thurs, Sat). My volunteer corps offers vouchers which reduces the overall cost to $200 but I would have had to wait another cycle (and also probably take it from a 19 year old who would need it more). So I paid for it. The course is worth it for the practical skills alone. After you take 50 blood pressures - it starts to click, etc.

Also the practical days in the hospital trailing ER nurses or respiratory specialists are great.

Especially when you get into multi-day conferences with multiple tracks and things like evening events, it's easy to create "death slots." The slot right before the party on the last day of the conference, a morning slot after the party on the final half-day, a breakout slot before the keynote, or a breakout at the same time as one or two hugely popular speakers. I've sometimes been surprised by how many people have attended sessions of mine in clearly pretty awful time slots.

I'd argue that there are some practices that are sub-optimal but it's really hard to avoid some time slots being inherently better than other. And TBH to the degree that having sub-optimal time slots means there can be more speaker slots, that's not necessarily a bad tradeoff for a lot of speakers.

That's a bug and is not supposed to happen.
I dislike the term "technical debt" as it makes it appear that it is something that must be paid. It takes a stance that there is a correct way to do something and that if you owe a debt it's because you've strayed from the correct way and that you need to restructure your work to make it conform more to this correct way.

I prefer to see engineering as a series of trade-offs. These trade-offs come about often as not having enough information about future scenarios and yes, sometimes they come about because you are in a rush to do something. Either way, whether something should be redone is dependent upon a lot of factors and calling something "technical debt" is a sort of way to politicize work as though it is "the right thing to do" and msut be done. This feels too simplistic to me.

Often, shortcuts we take will live for a long time in our code and often it doesn't matter that it's "wrong". If we call something technical debt, we should only call it that at the time that we determine work definitely needs to be done, not as we're going along and thinking "this is not the ideal design" as this will just lead to YAGNI designs.
The last thing we need is another 2D way of looking at politics. Left/Right Red/Blue Urban/Rural may all be useful* ways of visualizing generalities about data, but without a holistic approach obvious things get missed, and every other person is a corner case. A 2 axis chart is a good start, but even that lacks the nuance to really nail down something as complicated as a multi-tiered federal republics' politics.

Right now there are more layers of bureaucracy between an individual and true political power than ever before. At the same time, the emotional state of those individuals has never been more important to the political class. Using legislation as a weapon against your political enemies based not on principal, but emotional will of your base (or the emotional reaction of your opponents, etc) is likely to end badly for everyone.

The best way for a conference to address this is to put a headline level general talk in place to close out the conference. It gets people to hang around specifically for that big talk which will keep people from leaving early if the last day is only track talks.

What's your basis for this? Attaching a copy of paper documents to formal requests is routine. Those original receipts, furthermore, are admissible as evidence in court.
T&C are at https://support.code42.com/Terms_and_conditions/Legal_terms_....

I didn’t read all of them, but could not find an arbitration clause. I did find

”9.1 Exclusion of Damages. Neither Code42 nor you are liable for any lost profits or business opportunities, loss of use, business interruption, or any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential damages under any theory of liability. This exclusion applies regardless of whether Code42 or you have been advised of the possibility of those damages and regardless of whether any remedy in this Agreement fails of its essential purpose.

9.2 Cap on Monetary Liability. The maximum aggregate liability for Code42 or you for claims under this Agreement will not exceed an amount equal to the total fees paid or payable to Code42 for your use of the Offerings in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.”

I’m not sure that will hold up in court. I’m fairly sure it won’t in European courts, given the advertising text on https://www.crashplan.com/en-us/:

I'm a web developer and I need a reliable keyboard that's comfortable to type on. The MBP keyboards have been neither comfortable nor reliable since 2015. I've been holding onto my 2015 MBP with it's scissors mechanism keyboard for dear life. For the first time in ten years, my next laptop won't be a MBP. It'll either be a Lenovo ThinkPad or a Dell Inspirion running Linux. Goodbye Apple.
Going back would be admitting they were wrong, and they couldn't say "the thinnest MacBook ever" at their next announcement.
Driver issues were very minimal (had to turn off a power management thing, and use the on board graphics card for most usage), maybe an hour-ish. Otherwise, I was completely shocked how modern the experience is. Honestly, I find it better than the Mac UI because it lets me just get shit done without getting in my way. Keyboard shortcuts are weird, but I was using Windows 10 in the mix as well, so I'm used to that. However, I was never big into the apple ecosystem, so it would be more painful if you have an iphone, ipad, use itunes for everything, etc.

I'm in the google ecosystem, so life was crazy easy.
I've primarily been focused on the ergonomics of the language, so I've only tried to make performance "reasonable" for now.

Longer-term performance objectives are:

1. JIT - I designed the VM's byte code to be both interpretably and a mid-level IR to LLVM. Currently I just interpret everything since there is almost no runtime overhead for vector operations. However, compiled code will greatly speed-up any scalars in a loop.

2. SIMD - Since the VM's opcodes are already statically typed and vector-aware, integrating OpenBLAS and SLEEF (or Intel's MKL and VML) should be straightforward.

3. MIMD - Ideally I can just lean on existing libraries, though I'm not above embedding OpenMP if that gets the job done.

4. Distributed - Now comes the hard part. If we want MPI-level performance, I need to have more sophisticated scheduling. Which leads us to...

5. Streaming - This is the real holy grail. There has been a ton of research in the database community to get away from the "Volcano model" (iterators). I want to have the compiler generate streaming-aware opcodes for the VM based on the nature of how the data is to be consumed. I believe this will require a type system that can track the "context" of the computation, similar to how Koka and F* track side effects. I'm not aware of any general-purpose language that has compiled streaming.

I agree in terms of the equivalent of standard libraries. Ex: if you want a DMA engine, a PCIE interface, Ethernet, etc... you either have to build that from scratch, or buy IP from a vendor, there's not a lot of open source. There is opencores.org, but when a company is investing a lot in their own hardware design, then tend to want higher quality, or more recent/updated designs.

But the IC/hardware toolchain is a separate issue from the design itself. It's largely proprietary, probably due to the niche market and large R&D costs involved in some of the tools.
That unsolicited mail is what keeps it cheap though. Without that, a stamp would cost a few dollars each. Chances are all the people who send you paper that you do want would want to charge you for the privilege if it cost that much.
Bicameral legislatures don't imply federalism. In my state and the ones around me, the upper house members don't represent counties, just slightly larger districts than the lower house.

I was well aware of that before I commented. It's still a non sequitur and a remarkable logical leap.

If he or she had left it at the church having the capacity to alleviate loneliness, I could go along with that. "Church maintains a healthy society" is a big assertion that is more multifaceted and complex than "church volunteer therefore good", not only within the topic of church but the topic of loneliness as well. Also without even beginning to define what constitutes "a healthy society". Furthermore the assertion is deeply lacking in historical context; what is the historical prevalence of loneliness? How long have we even been paying attention to the topic of loneliness as a public health concern to even keep track of this?

The article makes a very straightforward point: if you're lonely, volunteering could probably make you feel less lonely. But jumping from that to "therefore church is unequivocally and obviously a net positive on the fabric of society (than some people say)" is making all sorts of implications and doing absolutely no work to piece that thesis together.

It's a tenuous assertion, on multiple levels.
It's not extreme, it's what most people have had for millennia.

New technology is deanonymizing public space, invasions of privacy previously required great effort and expense, now they can be done trivially by accessing data on your phone, or now your car.

The ramifications of this haven't become clear to you because no-one important's decided to fuck your life over yet or you live as a conformist, but for many of the rest of us the potential downsides are glaringly obvious.

People are getting screwed by this right now in China and N.Korea. It is a real and present danger that may have ramifications for you or people you love in the future, and may even get them killed. McCarthyism was only 50 years ago, the Stasi 30, the Nazis 70. The Dutch inadvertently caused the deaths of thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of Jews by having a religious question on their census before the Nazis took over.

It happened before, it will happen again, and just because you don't know high school history, or simply didn't learn the lesson of it, doesn't make us extreme.

It just makes you extremely naive.

Ask HN: What is a book that you would like to see written?
- What is a topic that is in your opinon not very well documented or whose books are outdated?

- What is a book on what topic that in your opinion is "needed" or "missing" today? (feel free to interprete "needed" and "missing" today)

- Can be technical or non-technical.

------------

Some books that I'd like to see being written:

- A book about GTK programming. I think that's a skill that's getting lost, and a book about the latest version (so that it can be useful at least in the next 3-5 years)

- A book about assembly programming in linux for x84-64.

- Some "middle" level books in general. There's a lot of intro books and "expert" books, but nothing on leveling up from beginner to expert. It's a bit general, I know.
It's telling that they immediately list these brand new laptops on their page offering extended support for the defective keyboards[1].

Unpopular opinion, but I continue to believe Apple needs to just walk away from the computer business. It's a negligible part of their core phone business, and it shows. I really wish that they'd license the OS to let people (and OEMs) build quality workstations.

Came here to say the same thing. If you can avoid using a laptop, I know many people can't, a desktop buys you a lot of freedom.

> You're trying to make it sound abundantly reasonable that the OP's ideology is inconsistent

No, I'm asserting that it's inconsistent (based on studying these sorts of purportedly "egalitarian" racial/gender ideologies). Anyone is welcome to make a counterargument.

> lots of people would completely disagree with that

I know. And I find their justifications fascinating, as previously mentioned.

> then you're pretending like it's obvious and not up for debate.

In many ways it is obvious. "Racism isn't racism if it targets $RACE people" is one variation of a popular slogan. In any case, as mentioned several times now, my position is "yes, more debate", yours is "debate is pointless".

> More fanning the flames. Why?

I'm not "fanning flames", I'm inviting debate. And as previously mentioned, I find the debate interesting. Incidentally it also tends to publicize the inconsistencies in the ideology, which is a nice side effect.
Of course they can't, but they conceivably could reduce the spread of material that stupid people are going to use to hurt themselves (or their kids).
I have the 15" 2018 MacBook Pro and would not recommend one until the following issues are resolved:

- It runs really, really hot. It cannot be used on your lap. I cannot imagine how hot a faster model would be.

- The keyboard is unreliable. I have not had the stuck key problem (yet!), but I do notice occasional crunching like something is stuck in the keys. I do not eat around this machine on purpose.

- The Touchbar is really bad. I wanted to like it. But, it is annoying more times than it is helpful.

- Not having a touchscreen when every other high end machine does seems more and more like a gap that needs to be resolved.

- Windows management continues to be crap in OSX.

There are a lot of good things. The screen is good. The touchpad is top notch. OSX is reliable and fast. But, yeah, the hardware just sucks right now. No way around it.
There is a typo in the chapter "Important commands that don't exist!".

NEG is described as:

EOR #255 (XOR/Flip bits)

Of course, it's:

EOR #255 (XOR/Flip bits)
CLC (Clear carry)
ADC #1 (add 1 with carry 0)

or:

EOR #255 (XOR/Flip bits)
SEC (Set carry)
ADC #0 (add 0 with carry 1)
> currently in proof of concept stage
> replaced or fixed later

These are the justifications that lead to Technical Debt.

Unless you write a self destruct system that prevents the software from starting after a certain date... there is no such thing as 'good debt'.

Projects come from POCs, they get moved into Production and are never replaced, just patched.

Many init systems have been created in bash, and I'd hardly call that a low level language.
Apple now solders in the SSD into the motherboard. My guess is the cost of an entire motherboard with a larger SSD simply costs more to manufacture. Or their target audience doesn't really care about money - they care more about the "premium" experience that comes with the Apple brand.
