I don't know if the solution proposed here is the answer, although I use it every day of my life. In fact, I've started to resent having to use it as it should be the understood default. But then I'm not prone to puffery.

I can say that "strong opinions loosely held" is basically an oxymoron and never works in practice, assuming it actually means anything in the first place. The few places I've seen proudly proclaim this motto have been the most toxic, poorly managed businesses I've seen. That phrase has, to me, come to represent a big, giant glowing neon warning sign to stay far, far away.

Ask HN: Has anyone used dual n-back and found an impact?
I've read through most of https://gwern.net/DNB-FAQ. Looked at most of the published papers. Reddit is pretty silent on the matter. I'm curious if anyone here has trained dual n-back and found an impact in their day-to-day.

I'm debating (probably) of trying a daily dual n-back routine. My biased experiment is multiple online IQ tests and then doing an assessment after a month of daily dual n-back. Love to know if anyone has suggestions or anecdotal results.
I started programming in the 90s and then I often would read the documentation like a book. Usually it was well written and really easy to read.
Core Electron documentation is akin to wondering where the docs for NSApplication are. They exist and are easy to find, but they might be confusing at points if you don't get it, or it's not documented - but it's a smaller surface area.

How you build things in Electron is akin to the web rendering API, which has ~20 years of backwards compatible guides and documentation. There is, full stop, not a single thing out there that is as well documented as HTML/CSS/JS.

I don’t see a problem mixing those two OSs if that’s what you really want to do. If we’re honest, it’s pretty edge case stuff we are talking about and most users experienced enough to be mixing Windows and Linux systems would be aware of the limitations of Windows when it comes to naming things. Granted the reserved namespace problem, COM1 et al, is far less discoverable; but it’s also far less common of a trap. So it’s not something that comes up that often if your team are aware of the problems.

Worst scenario is you’re dealing with a non-technical team but in those instances you’d keep your storage centralised and use an NT based solution (or something with first party support for AD) so you catch any Windows related bugs at save time rather than further down the road when you need to access them again. Given file names in Windows is limited by both the file system and the OS, whereas Linux is limited only by the file system, all you really need to do is catch those Windows-related errors. So running an NT-based storage array would solve that problem.

The biggest problem with education is that who the kid is(smart, hard working, resilient) has 20x the impact of his education. So it's much easier to select 5% better students than it is to teach them 100% better. And if teams of phd researchers are arguing over whether colleges in general are signalling versus human capital, how are some random parents going to be to solve the much harder problem of if a single school's results are due to signalling or human capital with less time, training, and information?

Unrelated: while YouGov is indeed online, it chooses which people to send the surveys to and has long-term profiles on each of them, so unlike a silly Twitter poll it has decent statistical relevance and the biases seem to be persistent, well quantified, and generally accounted for — you shouldn’t dismiss it just because you don’t like what it’s saying.

One thing an elite school is signaling is that it’s at the very least not among the worst.

This isn't a great answer, because there _is_ some literature to point to concerning how feedback (bugs and otherwise, regarding engineering) is handled at Apple: https://www.corbinstreehouse.com/blog/2019/03/the-sad-state-...

The game that Apple's dev evangelism needs to play is the same one that MSFT/Google/etc play. Apple gets a free pass because they've had a largely devoted (almost cult-ish) fanbase of software developers (of which I count myself). They're starting to piss them off, though, and that has cascading effects.

Of all the bundle books, I only own a physical copy of "3D math primer for graphics and game development".

Having no prior experience on computer graphics before, I love the book: it is well-written, concise and explains greatly lots of computer graphics stuff.

There are more math-heavy chapters so it's not a light reading, but little by little one can learn a lot from it.

I highly recommend it as a base to learn the mathematical concepts and the terms used in the computer graphics context.

This has been my experience with the majority of shell toys and dev ecosystem tools that have come out in the past 20+ years; if people simply knew Unix better, they'd be able to do them all with the same tools that have been around since the 80s/early-90s. There's nothing wrong with coming up with these alternatives, but they are almost universally minor improvements over what's available by simply becoming better at Unix.

Point taken - we always definitely have room to improve. There are two avenues you can submit feedback: https://aka.ms/sitefeedback, for anything that is related to site functionality, and the footer of each article, where we integrate GitHub feedback, where we enable GitHub issues.

If, for some reason, the article you are looking at has issues but no feedback affordance, use our site feedback channel or DM me on Twitter (@DennisCode) - would be happy to route the feedback and make sure we address it.

We triage those items fairly regularly.

There are two different questions: "do all paths lead to returning a value?" and "will the function return a value?"

Answering the second in the general case is equivalent to solving the halting problem. But answering the first question is much simpler. Static analyzers aren't using a heuristic approach to the second question, they're solving a completely different problem.

I have no clue what that means. Could you elaborate? Was there a earlier version of HN run as a charity or something? With unpaid moderators?

I have always assumed this was a recruiting service for YCombinator, hence their unobtrusive job ads. Was it an old Usenet group or something? Now that I think about it, I don’t really know where this site came from, assuming my sketchy knowledge is incorrect. I know I personally do not feel it has lost any of its character in the 9 years I’ve been a member.
This is pretty and all, and there's nothing wrong with it, but...why? Do people run ls enough that they need something more than a plain ASCII list of filenames? Are peoples' directories so disorganized that this adds enough value to justify it over /bin/ls?

I probably run ls a few dozen times a day, but it's usually just to answer "what did I call that file again?" or "did I remember to copy that over?"

I can't imagine a scenario where I'd require too many extra visual cues. I use color ls, mostly because I find the optional symbols like '/' to be distracting, and differentiating files and directories via color is about all I care about.

There's overhead in becoming too attached to non-standard tools: you have to go out of your way to install them, your muscle memory needs retraining, etc.

Most importantly, tools like this break a bunch of core command line standards, like doing one thing and doing it well, and producing clean output that can be pipeline-filtered with all the other Unix standards.
