An acquaintance of mine with law degree is a business development person at DHL. At Christmas time, he helps deliver packages. I think that's really cool. Kind of like "everybody codes" (including managers) in engineering at Google. (Is that still true?)
It seems weird to me that they specifically call out only Guido's behavior. I feel like there was probably a lot of context lost in "he left angrily" and its a bit unfair bordering on disingenuous.
> At which point you have to scale the IT wall all over again if you work at a Fortune 500 company.

I work at a Fortune 500 company, and the only wall I have to scale when I want to use a library that nobody at our company has ever used before, is to get someone to check and approve the license (typically takes 1-2 days), and import it into our code repos.

I mean I see your point, but not everywhere is as bad as you make it seem.
As far as I understand this. It’s something like “You can install whatever libraries you want, but we’ll only ever install default python on user PC’s”
To varying degrees depending on the library, I believe the answer is "yes, they sometimes do". Angular and Ember at least have systems for batching user interactions, which translate into model updates, and thus potentially DOM updates. I believe the respective systems for handling this are called Zone and Backburner for Angular and Ember, but I've been out of touch with those projects for a couple of years.

There's definitely a trade-off, however. They make a huge difference for noisy events (like mouse move, scrolling, dragging, etc), but tend to make debugging much harder in my experience. When things go wrong, the stack traces nest deeply into the event handling systems and code paths no longer resemble the relatively straightforward world of traditional event calls, where a callback handler is invoked directly in response to a single event.

I don't believe either of you is presenting a convincing argument that the other is wrong.

It seems quite plausible to me that some portion of people will be affected by not-knowing what happened, and some portion of people less so.
You are nearly alone.
Chicago is a financial disaster and it's dragging Illinois into the fire. The situation is worse than detriot before it's bankrupcy.

It's so bad that illinois is the only state in the union with a negative population growth. And, doubly, the only state to have that honor several years in a row.

The debt is unsustainable and they tax everything. Just a few years ago they started taxing soda cans, and hybrids since "they don't pay as much gas tax".

They may have successfully taxed streaming but it's just another example of how incredibly desperate they are.

Illinois is drowning under pension promises from their massively bloated government. Enough that every Illinois citizen owes something like $20,000 to the state pension systems. They're squeezing money from stones
This article is about ultra marathons which have very low participation of both sexes. Likely we haven’t seen top performance for either sex. However in the marathon, the evidence is exactly opposite. The performance gap is large and widening. Paula Radcliffe has the fastest female time (male-paced) while men have continued to widen the gap to nearly 15 minutes. Even in the ultramarathon, the top times show a massive performance gap between male and female competitors. This effect truly is one of sample size. You see the same effect even in small local 5k races. Yes a fast woman can enter and win an event with a small number of competitors sometimes. These woman are faster than men in the ultramarathon articles are very poorly researched.
The state has decided that you don't need to be informed in advance that a warrant will let them search through your things. The whole point of a warrant is that it lets them search. "I didn't know they could look inside my bag" isn't a legal defense.

Virtual DOM is pure overhead*

* Compared to doing static analysis and optimizing your UI updates at build time.

While I certainly agree that svelte's approach may be the future, I think React and others, are very much a needed stepping stone (especially when you consider all the work done transpiling JS code).

The Virtual DOM was the most performant solution that applied generally to many a large number of cases. The reason almost everyone did `x.innerHtml = html` is that it was the most general and widely available solution.
Question: What happens (and should happen) if a GUI app forks? Do/should the windows get duplicated? Do/should two apps control the same windows? Is the answer the same/should it be the same regardless of all the underlying stack (X/Wayland/Gnome/KDE/whatever)?

Edit: I really care about the "should" part too, not just what currently happens. I've been trying to think of semantics for forking that could work in these situations but I haven't been able to think of great solutions.
It's not hard to "figure something else out"; this problem became a political issue in Australia in the 1980s and was finally solved with a federal goods and services tax in 2000, the proceeds of which are distributed back to the states by an apolitical bureaucracy. There are no more local or state sales taxes. I am sure other countries have found similar solutions. The difficulty is overcoming the political and constitutional barriers to further consolidating federal power in the United States.
Namesilo has free whois privacy
For me it was a choice between privacy and not knowing who my distant relatives might be since my father was adopted and never searched for his biological parents.
Most smart city stuff is ridiculously unsexy, and also isn’t a privacy concern if you don’t allow the underlying databases to he released or joined together.

Here is an example that can drastically lower waste collection costs, and eventually track weekly trends in refuse generation (by putting a scale in the garbage truck), etc:

Providing such technologies to existing firms that periodically re-bid for government contracts with makes much, much more sense than handling a permanent monopoly over management of the entire city to a for-profit company that will design things to ensure they can never be replaced.

One complicating factor with a lot of these studies is how "autism symptoms" and the like are measured. Specifically, they measure something like "how much distress is the autistic individual under compared to how much they can handle". High level of distress leads to meltdowns, inability to handle outside behavioral demands, etc, and shows up as higher autism symptom load.

So this study is, IMO, much less about "gut problems cause autism", and I highly doubt that these individuals get any less autistic. A fairer characterization is "autistic people with gastrointestinal distress are less able to deal with things in general, and fixing the GI distress allows them to handle social demands better".
The content on that link suggests that it is in fact possible to save the airplane (and on the fatal flight, the Ethiopian Air crew got the airplane climbing and I believe exceeded 8000’ before losing control as they fought the bad hand they were dealt).

Possible to save the airplane doesn’t mean that it’s expected, but it’s quite a bit farther from “the simulator proves that it was impossible”.

Any rights? I firmly believe you still have the right to not be tortured. Can you think of any others?
So in other words, voters continually vote against their own long-term interests? I don't see how this is going to be solved by getting the democratically-elected state legislature to pass laws restricting the cities' taxing powers.
First, I think anyone using React solely because of the virtual DOM implementation is largely missing the point. IMHO, the real win of React is the functional and composable way components can be designed and implemented.

Second, no disrespect to Svelte, but I think there's a huge trade-off between the React approach and the Svelte approach that developers should be aware of. React is a pretty unopinionated library, all things considered. The only compilation step necessary is JSX to Javascript. JSX maps pretty directly to React's API. This means compilation is pretty simple. So much so that you can do it by hand really easily if you really wanted to. Svelte, on the other hand, is pretty compilation-heavy. There's a lot of what I'd consider to be non-trivial transformation going on between the code you pass to the Svelte compiler and what comes out of it and runs in the browser. Personally, I'm less comfortable with that compared to React's runtime library approach. But if you are comfortable with that trade-off, that's perfectly fine. It is worth being aware of it, though.
Yep, it encourages some very bad practices and is really inefficient. My team dropped it years ago, even for prototyping, and our remaining Rails apps are considered legacy and we've been slowly replacing them.
Node is ostensibly batteries included, but they’re weird, arcane batteries powered by tears. Therefore, to get anything done easily usually requires an external package.
On the one hand, yes. On the other hand...

(1) Pension decisions play out potentially over ~30-40 years.

(2) If we accept that the cause is some official made a bad decision, it is almost certain that pension issues will be ongoing. There is potentially a 40 year window for idiots to get in and screw the whole system up.

So in a sense, some large group of people need to be responsible. Not because it is fair, but because if that isn't how we treat the situation it isn't likely to get fixed for the next round of pension crises. The pensioners were most invested in the success of the enterprise. They are most responsible for its failure.

This isn't a nice position to hold, but the alternatives are a very nebulous concepts of blame and lumping the cost of fixing all the mistakes on the one group of people who we know weren't responsible - people who are currently entering or in the workforce and can pay taxes.

This is sensible. Nice point of view
I'm sorry you feel that way. Regardless of your feelings on the matter, the claim that women beat men occasionally because of a small sample size is chauvinistic, regardless of whether or not it was intended to be.

Unlike other events, where strength is a limiting factor (for instance, sprint speed is limited by muscle mass), there isn't much of a reason to believe that women would be worse at distance running.

For instance, the same line of logic would be 100% chauvinistic if someone said "The best engineer in this field is a woman, but it's a narrow field, I assume the sample size is very small."

People used to make very similar claims about the inferior mental capacity of women as they do about physical performance now. Yes, men outperform women in feats of strength, however, in many sporting disciplines the fact that men continue to outperform women is most likely due to the fact that men are generally encouraged to participate in sport to a greater degree than women, and sporting communities are more welcoming to men.

The author of the comment I replied to has no basis for his claim that the sample size accounts for the women winning beyond a feeling that men are superior athletes in all ways. That is chauvinism, and if that claim makes you feel uncomfortable or angry, perhaps you should reflect on why that is.
And what did you choose?
2 things I'm not seeing in the article or in the comments so far:

1) The virtual DOM is an abstraction that allows rendering to multiple view implementations. The virtual DOM can be rendered to the browser, native phone UI, or to the desktop.

2) The virtual DOM can, and should, be built with immutable objects which enables very quick reference checks during the change detection cycle.
They don't have the muscles and cardio to tap into and burn the fat as efficiently.
Seconding this, I contribute to (and recently became a maintainer of) a relatively popular package that supports Python 2 and 3. We have 3 dependencies, and none of them are six.

To be fair, one of our three dependencies does in fact depend on six, but we don't use six anywhere in our code. This dependency of ours is used only in one specific area of the codebase, and in fact I (the person who added the dependency) wish that we didn't have to use it at all.

In the working case, MCAS presumably triggers at a particular AoA, trims nose down (but is this a fixed amount and what is it?) which in effect requires more stick back pressure to maintain the angle of attack. Thing is, it seems like MCAS, again in the working case, has a trigger AoA and will incrementally nose down until it goes below some defined angle of attack - which is not really a stick force moderator alone. It's acting as a kind of AoA guardian.
You say you understand it but I think you do not. If someone has cancer, do you say, "I guess a stronger person wouldn't have gotten that tumor"?

There are correlations with genetics that can make someone predisposed etc. but it is absolutely wrong thinking to say it happens because of "weakness", it is, however unfortunate, a natural part of the spectrum of human condition.
No. Garbagemen should have life and disability insurance.

Police and fire employees tend to live shorter lives due to specific conditions related their occupation. It’s apples and oranges.
First of all thanks for this comment. That's a lot of interesting input.

To be honest I don't really see any reason to treat doctors differently than other professionals. There are plenty of difficult jobs that people's lives depend upon but I've yet to see a career path forcing trainees or juniors to go through such hard conditions for several years for pennies.

> Further work hour restrictions could turn the 15-year training process into a 16 or 17 year process. Fair enough, this could solve the problem. But really? From a purely economic perspective, this is silly.

From a purely economic perspective everyone works too little for too much. Why don't we start to treat residents like human beings, cut the long hours and pay them decently. Where do we find the money? Maybe in regular doctors' sacks - the difference in pay before and after residency is crazy. In 2017 residents went on a country-wide strike over working conditions in my country (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41777785) and it's said they'll go on another one this year.

As a side note I think a lot of issues in health service is a lack of proper management. Every time I'm in a hospital I can't help to notice hiring someone like an office manager, who's only job is to smooth communication between workers and patients and workers themselves would be huge.

Except then you would still eat carbs the night before a race because not having glycogen is just intentionally gimping yourself for no imaginable possible gain. It's not like the mj of glycogen energy is weighing you down.

You should absolutely train in a glycogen depleted state just so you will know what it feels like and can deal with it. But it's not how you would ever start a race.

Sample Answers from Various Interviews
When I played for my school, town and county back in the 70s in the UK the Sicilian Dragon was very fashionable so the teams I played in learned to take back the initiative with white via the then little-known Morra Gambit - 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cd 3. c3. We also had a line in the Ruy Lopez which took our opponents out of the books early - 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.d4. My other, more recognisable favourites were the Benko Gambit (Benoni) and Marshall Attack (Ruy Lopez). All very effective at club level prior to the computerisation of chess.
Are they though? The software in 20 year old cars is more akin to that in a digital wristwatch (as in, super basic and never needs updating). Also, old cars contain far more electro-mechanical components than software. In comparison, modern cars are Internet-connected computers on wheels (especially Teslas).

For example, my 1999 VW has a mechanical headlight switch, dead simple mechanical starter engagement, manually-controlled climate controls (there's a direct physical connection between the dials and the flaps), electro-mechanical wiper control relay module, a basic self-contained radio, manual windows, and directly switched interior lights. Heck, the only thing that is computer-controlled is the engine timing, fuel injection, turbo actuator, dashboard dials, ABS, accelerator pedal/cruise control, airbags, and locks. And my car is hardly out of the ordinary.
The NYT did a podcast on Boeing : https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/23/podcasts/the-daily/boeing...

From a behavioral perspective it is odd that a guy would do this and then stop doing it.
It's worth noting that on Linux, the address space itself is copy-on-write, but the page tables describing the address space are nevertheless copied eagerly, and this copying can take significant time. If you're going to be calling execve right after fork, you should be using vfork, not fork.
IMO you grow immensely with real tournament experience with at least 1 hour time controls. 15 minutes is known to be a harsh time control and "no time limit" in my experience just means "don't make me impatient", which is a really short limit.
I definitely agree with teaching all folks to both mitigate for physical/mental/emotional/social stressors as well as for making effective decisions while experiencing stress.

Chronic stress is an interesting choice of words.

I believe far more people than we realise experience chronic stress, some of which can be mitigated effectively, and some not.

I don’t think it’s worth training people to mitigate for extreme stress unless their profession compels/requires it.

Risk of permanent damage is real.

There are other ways to represent a UI as data that don't require a diff. JSX's default compiler output throws away information needed to do efficient updates, and instead requires diffing the entire old and new trees.

Immutable objects may optimize for checking for data changes, but only if you do that, as in shouldComponentUpdate or checking inside render(). They don't optimize the _diff_, which is done against the DOM.
>> Running burns about 100 Calories

Totally depends on the runner. An 85lb female athlete will burn X per km. A 300lb male, covering the same distance/speed, will burn at least 4X and probably 6X.
I had a comp sci prof back in the early 1970's. Someone told me that he had gotten a check from Knuth for finding an error. I saw him off campus once and I had to check to see if his feet actually touched the ground. I swear that they didn't.
My layman's understanding is
- fat burning results in CO2
- CO2 is only removed by exhaling
- we exhale ~about~ 2lbs of CO2 per day
- fat burning is limited by the amount we can exhale

note: this does not claim one can only burn 2lbs of fat/day only that resulting CO2 from burning some amount of fat must fit in the exhaling budget
react-dom (https://github.com/facebook/react/tree/master/packages/react...) is shipped as a dep of react, and seems to be where all the heavy lifting is. I believe that, should DOM ops become fast enough that you don't need vDOM anymore, you could easily no-op all of this out with direct DOM calls.

I assumed "minimize distractions" = "meets regulatory compliance in areas it's going to be published to".

Doing anything but driving will driving is distracting but some things are illegal to do certain ways. E.g. in many places you can dictate a text but not operate a handheld phone.
Yes and no. Until the Ruby maintainers give the gem versions of the internal modules different names you will get bizarro conflicts when using a gem after the "batteries included" version has already loaded.

I don't know how many hours I've spent battling Psych errors because of this very thing, but it's way too many. Calling the gem something, anything else, would solve the issue.

It's great that they're unbundling a lot of things, but there's still some serious friction between external and internalized versions of these gems.

For Ruby, EventMachine sub-universe is really in bad shape. EventMachine is creaky and old. Event-aware packages are in short supply and are usually woefully out of date, unmaintained.

obviously not. They were optimised for the conditions that existed at the time, which included limited bandwidth and intermittent connections, which are no longer realistic limits.

Usenet was wonderful and still has many pockets of wonderful in it; but even I who cut my teeth hacking UUCP to WWIV gateways and such want nothing to do with setting up a modern NNTP impementation.
