Henry Hulk, wow, haven't heard that name in years. Nice designs.

No kitesurf kites though, probably the most popular kites on the market now? Maybe in the west, not sure about the east.
Counting absolute numbers makes no sense, in the long run any plane model will kill an infinite number of people; what matters is the rate - that is, the slope in that first graph - and the MAX8 has the steepest. As they write, "Compared to the planes involved in accidents with the most fatalities since 1966, the 737 Max 8 has had more fatalities in its first years in service than any of the other."
During the end of the project (almost always a slog) I'll set deadlines for myself each week with a set list of features I need to accomplish for that week. Hopefully it's obvious what's left to be done and you can make lists at this point. But when I've accomplished those goals for the week I'll take a break and do something fun.

I don't know how you work but usually the first couple months are a frenzy of work non stop but if I pace out the end a little better it becomes a lot more palatable. Also it's not the end of the world to take a couple days off if you come back with a clear mind ready to work, in fact it's usually more effective.

One more thing that really helps with overcoming the blues at the "almost finish line" is to get it in front of a few people and let them pick it apart. It gets me motivated before showing it to him/her/them to polish up any loose ends, and then after I have a new list of stuff that I feel motivated to resolve. Hope that helps! Goodluck w/ the project!
> 2. Consumption, consumption, consumption. Most consume but don't create.

That's where I'd put my money. All of a sudden, the need to consume crappy pop culture has exploded around us, and people simply don't do things any more -- "Netflix and chill" has simply pushed other activities aside.

This is, of course, nothing new; it's just that modern streaming services deliver makes it so much more available than it was 30 years ago.

Definitely! In theory, it should be ~super~ easy for me to release on iOS, since Flutter is cross platform and I have a Mac.

Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone to test it on, but I could potentially borrow one from a friend. I'll let you know!

Corporation taxes are arguably as/more regressive than those on consumption, depending on who you believe ultimately pays them (capital owners/workers).

It can be argued that they fall equally on the rich and poor. For example, if the corporation had two shareholders, one in the top tax bracket and one in the bottom, their returns would be equally hit despite difference in their underlying incomes.

On the other hand, if the burden does fall mainly on shareholders then it can be argued that from a macro perspective corporation taxes are progressive since they are ultimately paid by wealthy households (which make up majority of large investors).
Unless you start putting Boeing executives in jail, there is literally ZERO incentive for them not to repeat all this. In fact, the CEO and senior executives have probably already received their massive bonuses for the MAX sales. It's not like they're going to be asked to return those bonuses now with all this fiasco.
Ghandi was quite shrewd as to what he could get away with. He started protesting in South Africa in 1893 when they were probably not terribly nice to non whites.

What time frame do you give to your prediction?
I'm yet to see any concrete details of those "backdoors" they found in the Huawei equipment. I'm not saying there aren't any. But no concrete evidence of them surfaced yet. So far it's just some bullshit from the press that has zero knowledge of technology.
It's a shame to see it go. I never used it, but the fact that it used vanilla Arch packages under the hood was certainly preferable to Manjaro's "don't call it Arch" approach.

I worked on a similar "batteries included" distro based on Fedora that shut down. Fortunately, by the time it ended Fedora had come a long way towards making initial setup easier for newcomers, and our distro was mostly redundant sans a few extra packages and theming.

On the other hand, Arch still lacks a friendly installer.
Hm, I don't see how they are totally different and orthogonal.

Objects and messages are kinds of types. Types can have constraints and conditions and there is all sorts of nuance.

Difference, yes. But completely different? No... when designing a system there is a lot of freedom in where to draw the shapes of the system, how much information do we contain in the objects themselves, a hierarchy or inside parameters.

"Stringy interfaces" is one extreme. There are many others.
Haskell was designed by a committee of researchers from various universities, but the first(?) working compiler came out of a University of Glasgow project.

Pomodoro actually works quite OK for me. It doesn't solve the problem, but it's one of the more effective strategies to get some work done.

I'm not saying there are magic pills. But most articles about procrastination seem to target regular people, for whom this is not that big of a problem.

If you had low muscle mass, and weightlifting and diet didn't help, you'd sure be grateful if it turned out to be a recognized condition. Even if there was no effective remedy, you could at least tell the people saying "you're doing dieting/sports wrong" to shut up.
The difference you are ignoring here is voluntary and/or unenforced restriction of freedom (which is a contradiction in terms — you are free to change your conditions) vs. imposed and enforced restrictions.

Kind of important.
I think this is often what Gary Vee is misjudged on. I've listened to more than a few of his talks, read his books, and find his message is that you should throw your all in, if that's what you want. If you want to have your Saturdays with your kids, go do that. Matt D'Avella had an interview with Gary Vee that acknowledges this. He seems to be very much about living your own life and not subscribing to the hype.

"Are you doing something you enjoy to do? Happiness and fulfillment has to become a much bigger part of the conversation than financial upside. I'm always very hurt when people think that I'm pushing hustle and too much work."[1]

Ignoring gender and gender dynamics on social media will not solve the issue in real life, it will just further the perception that social media is disconnected from reality. In my opinion, it would do more harm than good.

They've already pushed above US in fab tech and manufacturing. I'd bet that IP is well-protected within China, probably just by different means (e.g. closely-guarded secrets rather than patents.) There are many examples of Chinese bazillionaires who pioneered successful companies; their education system is superior to the US and they work harder.

We've gotten lazy.. I think we have this coming to us.

You are confused by the "propaganda" you posted. Like I wrote in other thread, if the innovation comes at low cost, it might make sense to have no barrier to IP. Innovations in Shenzhen are low cost. It's vastly different from Samsung developing a new semiconductor manufacturing process.

The First Angular in Depth Conference in Kiev, Ukraine
Once upon a time, most business income was taxed on the business side. For small businesses, the tax paperwork was a pain. So passthrough laws were made, allowing the owners to treat the business income as personal income, simplifying tax paperwork. The tax is still paid.

These changes over decades have moved the same tax from being called corporate tax to personal tax. There is nothing nefarious about it.

This last year, more such changes made to simplify taxes for small buisness moved more of the income in this manner.

I have been a small business owner for a long time, and do precisely this, because it simplifies my paperwork. The tax is still paid.

In aggregate this accounts for a lot more than most people realize.

Here's what happened this last year to move the needle

Stalinism wasn’t existing in the USSR since 1956. Marxism, however, was always acknowledged as the foundational ideology — right until the collapse.
Not sure I have understood your question. But I'll try to explain.

In terms of tech stack, GFWaaS is a mix of Rails, Apache Guacamole, and headless browser. If you just want to solve your own problem, you could simply setup Guacamole on a server in China, and use VNC in your browser.

The real challenge is dealing with the Chinese Internet. For example, to get reasonable connection speed for VNC, choosing the right cloud service provider is really the key. You have to figure out a way to get an account from the major providers in China (many of them, if not all, require you either live in China or have a local entity), and test the speed and stability of the connections. And, in some cases, because of the bad traffic peering across Chinese ISPs, you website may work relatively well with one ISP but not others, so you have to test with different ISPs.

GFWaaS streamlines the whole process so you can focus on testing your website, instead of finding the right cloud service provider and setting up software etc by your own.

Hope I have explained what you asked, and sorry for my English.

The thing is short of being responsible for human extinction you never get to choose the future for humankind - only expand or limit their options.

To give an absurd example your descendants may decide for some bizzare reason it would be awesome to keep pet dodos fenced in their yards. Given that dodos are long extinct immediately it is impossible. But if their biotech advanced enough to recover the DNA and clone them and either manually reconstruct or mutate the cloned base until an acceptable genepool was produced operation "yard-dodo" would once again be a possibility - although very remote.

It is a form of dry pedantic humor. In early 20th century USA, there were a lot of instructional books marketed at children with titles like this... "A Boy's Guide to Fishing", and so on.

The author, who wishes finance students to remain focused on the fundamentals rather than getting lost in esoterica, chose a title that harkens back to these plain-spoken primers. I suppose he didn't stop to think that most of his audience wouldn't get the reference.

It's about as un-PC as "The Dangerous Book for Boys", really (which my daughter read without being noticeably triggered).
It's not that Reddit doesn't allow self-posts, it's because you asked the question in a subreddit that isn't mean to have questions in the title, which is also why they removed the self-post functionality from their subreddit. There is /r/AskProgramming for that which allows self-posts.

Being able to roll back writes and reconstruct earlier states is pretty key for any sort of high-compliance application.

That being said, I converted a failed application that needed rollback and history from CQRS to standard CRUD with trigger based operation logging and achieved the same effect with about 1/10th the code. The architecture was a lot more accessible to lower level devs too, greatly reducing maintenance costs.

This sounds interesting. I personally would be more interested though if it would introduce some concept of an infinite queue, because that is usually the way I listen to music. I want to be able to select some music and to queue that, but when that finished, it should continue playing, with related/similar songs, or maybe according to some other rules/genre or so.

Many other music players have this. Also e.g. Spotify. Or iTunes DJ mode. Amarok had this. Sometimes it was called PartyShuffle.

I like the separation of the playlist/queue and the UI. But if it is an infinite queue, it is not possible to get a full copy of it. Only maybe to the finite preselected upcoming queue. But maybe that is not much of a problem then. The core infinite logic usually is implemented like: If the queue of songs contains less than N next songs, select some more songs from some database, according to some probability distribution.

I implemented my own music player at some point, where my main focus was around this concept of an infinite queue. (https://github.com/albertz/music-player/blob/master/WhatIsAM... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4771999) One reason was that I wanted to take this concept much further than any existing music player. E.g. even introducing some clever machine learning models to guide the infinite music queue.

I was actually quite happy with it, but it took too much time to really polish, to make it cross platform, etc. Now I mostly use Spotify, which gets close to what I wanted to implement in the first place. And they are working to improve the intelligent infinite queue, or generate playlists automatically in other ways.

So, now that there is some work by VLC on the playlist, I was wondering, how easy is it to extend that? E.g. maybe some Python interface, so I could maybe plugin some neural network, and add new songs to it when it runs out of songs. That would be really nice.

Related to that, what is the current state in VLC about other music player related features, like e.g. gapless playback?

As a sysadmin I use tor regularly as a easy and free third-party perspective. If there is a problem but it works when I test it, I then go and test in tor in order to eliminate any potential effect in my local network.

Tor is also ipv4 so it is a convenient way to get a ipv4 web view inside a ipv6 enabled network, without having to deal with browser plugins or adjust the interface on the machine.
That the shuffle vector is a data structure that shuffles upon push/pop while still maintaining O(1):

> From a CompSci angle: this is a data-structure with a built-in Fisher-Yates shuffle. Big-O is the same when you want to shuffle a whole array of n elements at once, namely O(n). The difference is that instead of initiating the vector, then shuffling the whole thing, the shuffling is applied "lazily" as you add elements to it.

> This may have benefits in some situations: if you have a "random bag" where you often add a few elements at a time, then want to pick elements at random. One very naive way to do it would be to shuffle the bag every time you pick an element, which as mentioned is O(n). Using a shuffle vector, you can add elements by push, and grab a random element with pop. Since one swap per insertion is enough, picking a random item from our bag is O(1) instead.

It looks like your approach has a lot of overlap with this data structure (which specializations specific to your use-case).

The data structure is explained in the first link, and was (officially) introduced to CompSci (as in, described in an academic publication) in the paper in the second link. However, in all likelihood a lot of people came up with this approach over the years. For example, when I first shared the notebook in the first link on Twitter, a few game devs came forward saying they implemented something similar for their games before.

So I'm just connecting your approach to the wider context of what others have done in this space
> Being told to use this opinionated formatter was like removing a 40kg bag after a bush walk.

I think the gofmt approach is becoming an unofficial standard. In the JS world 'prettier' has taken off and I think most languages now have a community anointed formatter (and new languages are likely to have an official one).

The hostility that the authors direct at people who are looking for a quick sanity check like that fits into your observation that C is a pretentious tool.
Absolutely. F# is just one of 3 languages which you can use to develop .NET Core applications. .NET Core itself is cross platform and really well supported on Linux and macOS. The other two languages are C# and VB.NET, but personally I think that F# is just the nicer of the three.

It's also worth noting that .NET Core is not only cross platform, but an extremely performant runtime which really hits the ceiling in various benchmarks https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r17&hw=...
