What you both describe sounds like a switch flipping in the brain. It's the holy grail of those struggling with procrastination - and the unsolved part is coercing the brain to flip that switch, to internalize that realization. I envy those who've done that by accident.
I completely agree. When I first started writing Go (coming from Python/C#) I complained an awful lot about what felt like pointless hamstringing of functionality. Go is a simple language, and you don't get many toys. It also feels very verbose at times, and forces you to think a lot about doing things which seem automatic in other languages.

However, as time went on, I noticed a few trends. Firstly, forcing me to think more revealed that what I had thought was automatic was more automagic - Go forces you to take responsibility for what your code does to a far greater extent than other more convenient languages, albeit not to the extent that C/Rust does. Secondly, I noticed that code written in Go tends to do what I expect it to pretty much all the time (with the occasional except of async stuff). Sitting down and writing a program in Go often results in something that actually works the first time it runs, and has far fewer runtime surprises.

As painful as it is to do numerical computation in Go sometimes, I have a very high level of confidence that I can look at a program, deduce with some accuracy its runtime memory usage & footprint, multithread it easily, and reason (successfully) about possible runtime failure modes and behaviour. This is something I find difficult if not borderline impossible to do in Python, especially utilising the standard '10 layers deep' stack of numerical computing libraries.
Not just about integrated circuits.

I found best teachers are the ones who actually solved real-world problem. Only then they understood which piece of knowledge is helpful because they actually understand it.

Teaching is not for the theorists.

Maybe yours. My body is as dumb as a rock. It resists "entrapment" in any and all useful activities, whether self-directed or assigned by others. It's a constant struggle against the cat-like instinct of "yeah, I'd love to do that... no, I'm not doing that".

If it's productive enough, it's worthwhile paying the tax. There's only so much undeveloped land, developing it all means destroying our environment.

I need that pressure too. Time clocking systems don't work at all and I tend not to use them after a while. Sure, fire me, be my guest. I think you have a release to worry about...

Always shipped on time... or at least fast enough. At least you are not getting any change requests half a day before release. The day after always feels very good.

900+ comments and basically all about the HW issues (keyboard, display connector) and uselessness of the touchbar. Doesn't look good for Apple.

(I had to replace my 2015 MBP13 with the a late 2018 model. I am too mightily disappointed and would not buy a new Apple laptop).
As a Brit, I can confirm that there is a large section of our population that thinks the empire was a positive thing and pines for a return to it.

Even the 'white man's burden' is viewed by many as a necessary endeavour. It's the number one criticism I have of my own country (and I have many).

It's nationalist propaganda that panders to exceptionalism and it seems to have worked on half of the electorate unfortunately.

Full Stack Fest – 4-6 September in Barcelona
Just because it’s really low doesn’t mean Ten is wrong. There’s plently of examples of securities that have been mispriced to such a degree (i.e Enron and MBS).
In Europe it's more common to have an EC card, which doesn't have any necessary secrets printed in plain sight (you need a TAN to complete a transaction over 25€ or total 100€ per day).

We also have SEPA Inst which allows me to send people money instantly for no fees (atleast at my bank), faster than Bitcoin ever could.

I'm insured against the bank being hacked. I'm also insured against the ATM's being hacked.

If I'd open my bank account today and found 0€ via hacks, I'd get it all back in 99.9% of cases. If I loose my card I get back everything too.

If I loose my bitcoin wallet, I'm SOL and should be sorry for not making backups and using a multisig wallet with 2FA!

And you would have a chance (actually, be legally entitled) to recover your money as opposed to people on the internet telling you sorry for your loss.
It depends on what you mean by "the community". If it's a community of contributors, and Google pulls it into a direction the contributors don't want, then they can fork it and continue contributing to it. If it's a community of users, then they have no choice but to follow whatever the contributors decide. I agree you need to have major contributors on board with a fork.
Grady Booch Interviews John Backus
I don't think the number of implementations correlates strongly with long-term viability. As long as there is at least one FOSS implementation available the language won't die as long as it remains useful.
This is a series more for engineers who want to delve into the depths of "computer science" that takes them to the magical world of mathematics. That way, its not worth if you are looking for direct real world application, like the CLRS or Sedgeick books provide.

That said, I think its worth having this for the humbling experience it provides. This experience is very much needed for every engineer, and specifically software engineers, because after a while of reapplying same old tropes to churn out solutions to problems, there creeps a feeling that we are at the top of our game, and "experts", when in reality most of us are only "experts" in a specific insipid framework or technology which are as permanent as the latest fashion trends. This series of books makes us feel worthless and keenly introspect. It makes us see that there is a vast array of knowledge that we severely lack. It builds personality and keeps us grounded. It separates true musicians from college band guitarists who shred the neck to cheering crowds.

I have Combinatorial Algorithms Part 1 Volume 4A and it makes me cry every time I peruse it.
Maybe I am ignorant about tax law but people seem a lot harder to “invert” to cheaper tax jurisdictions no matter how rich they are.

this is only because we allow corporations deductions for intellectual property, remove ip deductions and remaining corp income deductions will revolve around paying wages and investing capital (e.g. building a factory), things that cannot be "inverted" or made to pass through ireland.

the corp income tax is actually less harmful than personal income or sales taxes precisely because it only falls on corp profits and the aforementioned deductions (with exception of ip) are good ones - you want companies doing those things. arguably double taxation on dividends is a somewhat questionable feature of the corp income tax though (and if anything the last type of company you would want to exempt from this double taxation is REIT like ones)
If you have a crazed gunman for a boss, keeping one particular type of bullet away from them is an incomplete solution to the problem.
You can "bear arms" here in the UK if you like. Just go down to the Post Office and buy a license. I'm not even joking - I live in a rural area and know multiple people with shotgun licenses. You'll be subjected to a criminal background check of course.
I am emotional for sure. We are supposed to be emotional. When I hire, I am conscious I am hiring people not a replaceable resource. When I have 10 devs, I see each are unique and bring something to the team. And we take time to just speak about things other than coding. And it has gone a long way for all of us.

Sadly in this fast paced world, human interaction is not the highest priority unless some study points out attrition is less when teams are emotionally engaged. We are zooming past human - human communication. Just like we have apps that control screen time, probably we need something to remind us to look past business objectives. But then just like those apps it would not be effective or natural.
Panic monster is a tricky beast to use. In the early university years, looming deadlines could make me superproductive, though at an emotional cost. But after few years of using this, my mind became increasingly resistant, and now the deadline trick doesn't work anymore.

As the lead developer here, I would be very against that except in an emergency.

We don't currently allow remote work, and I strongly discourage overtime for salaried employees. (We don't pay overtime, but even if we did, I'd discourage it still.)

If we did allow remote work, I know my bosses would be against 3am commits because they value being able to talk to the devs and ask questions and solve problems with immediate feedback. So they aren't going to like 3am commits either, because they'd mean that the dev wasn't available during normal hours.

So my answer would be: Workplaces that value collaboration and work-life balance.
You can opt out of using those extensions in your own code, but many of them are now deeply embedded in the library ecosystem.
> It'd take time and money to [develop a language]

Isn't that part of the fundamental conundrum though? If your need is so great, and so common, and so beneficial to get solved then the cost of development should be less than the benefits accrued, and smart business would bring that money and time to bear on the challenge and solve it. As Google has done with the main project...

Saying there isn't time enough or money enough to solve the technical challenges sounds like saying those challenges aren't important, or valuable, enough to be prioritized. Which is to say our wallets are in agreement with Googles wallet on the issue of generics in Go.

The considered 'best approach' from the community isn't the best technical approach to the technical issues, it's the best balance of pragmatic solutions for produced benefit (ie ROI), that create a sustainable project/product.
It is a perfectly meaningful comparison.

A domestic, intrinsically motivated movement, supported externally with non violent diplomatic, financial, and moral aid, acted as a catalyst to the largely non violent removal of many authoritarian repressive regimes.

All of which have largely avoided civil war with the exception of Ukraine due to a resurgent Russia responding to excessive NATO expansion.

Former Yugoslavia doesn’t count as it excluded itself from the Soviet Warsaw Pact sphere Nd attempted non alignment.

I moved away from the Mac for 3D work a few years back just because CUDA based rendering engines were such a game changer. I was totally expecting the experience to just be gritting my teeth and dealing with Windows for the power, but actually I've been pleasantly surprised that it's honestly improved a lot and MS is taking the approach of tackling one or two pain points a year consistently, like modernizing the Terminal this year and I'm sure one day they'll get to Explorer which is the last thing that bugs me.

I also bought a Surface Go recently and this has convinced me I could move away from Mac completely (To a Surface Pro) if need be, the industrial design is excellent, the keyboard is an absolute joy to type on and it's so versatile, like a "Pro" machine should be.

This is for me huge news... I think of Antergos very fondly. I donated when I first installed it and was constantly amazed by it.

Showing Antergos off at work, people was also impressed and almost everyone on the team switched to Antergos from Ubuntu (and this is no small feat). It lowered the entry bar into arch without lowering quality and this is something that is really valuable. It made switching to an arguably a better distro for development (latest packages, the vast aur repository, incredible Arch wiki support...) time-effective: where before I couldn't imagine myself as SysOps recommending arch to the frontent designer, now I can just go "oh, try this, installation is almost as easy as Ubuntu".

I had a small share of grief with Antergos too. With my laptop I had to disable "nouveau" drivers so that I could boot to a stable installation environment using Nvidia 150M GPU and upgrading my home setup to Nvidia from a Radeon GPU killed my previous arch installation and now it won't boot from their live iso.

But what it enabled me to do at work, prompting this switch from ubuntu to arch, is something I can't measure in value. I would love to be able to maintain this project (is it open for public fork?), but I have neither time (maybe a workday a week) nor the preparation to do so, and the community would also have to create momentum in the direction of adopting this project...

Anyway this is sad, but in no way I could hang this over antergos team's heads. I can only be grateful and wish them good luck in their lives, they deserve all the internets they can get.
Very nice variety of inquiries and visualizations. Have always wanted to do a similar exploration of “The Wire” and have kept a half-ass spreadsheet categorizing characters/groups (e.g. the homicide unit, the Barksdales, the city politicians) and scenes as I sporadically rewatch the show (I’ve rewatched it so often I can put it on ad background noise). One thing I’ve noticed when tracking scene changes is how frequently they happen — there will be one minute of chatter between detectives. And then a switch to completely different scene and characters when there was no need or chronological logic to cut away from the previous scene. I don’t think it was as much an artistic choice as it was the rhythm of TV drama before TV drama became the serious art that it is now, in no small part due to The Wire and of course, its much more popular and impactful peer, The Sopranos.
For me, it's also anxiety. But lately I've come to realize that it's a symptom of me not knowing some component of the task. For instance, I've been putting off building a coffee table for the house. I just found out that wipe-on polyurethane exists yesterday, and it seems to be the answer to my lacquer problem. I'm already feeling a lot more likely to start working on it.

I've had other similar issues when working on our house in the last year, and they were all solved by finding the solution to something I didn't know how to do. Then I suddenly had the drive and energy to do it and knocked it out quickly.
but as yet we dont even know that there are attacks to fend off, its still only been done PoC

It's an unpopular opinion because it isn't true for many (if not most) procrastinators, for at least two reasons. One, we procrastinate on tasks that we can't eliminate and which value scales linearly with doing them. Two, the time spent agonizing over it and the emotional cost it incurs is much greater than the savings from doing a recurring task less frequently.
I mean surely you don’t think Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgon, etc are still around because of survivorship bias? That is, everyone is just flipping coins and some people got lucky.

If you think that’s true, the natural correlary is that all companies are just flipping coins.
CIA covertly backed Solidarity with non violent aid.

In that specific ring fences example, did anyone outside of the Soviet/Polish regimes have issue with it then or since?

Would any/many Poles consider it a mistake or criticise the effort or result?
Innovative discovery against drug-resistant malaria found by Telenor Research
Not at all, he focused on how Java and C++ do it, and later on the Go 2.0 proposal admited that they were a bit closed minded to look for how other language implementations work.

"In retrospect, we were biased too much by experience with C++ without concepts and Java generics. We would have been well-served to spend more time with CLU and C++ concepts earlier."

Still on "MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)," which is probably my 5th Macbook Pro (or equivalent) Been waiting for ages for Apple to fix their shit with the keyboard and make 32GB RAM an option for the 13". Hell will probably freeze over before any of that happens. Most likely, I'll have to get a desktop Mac and a Linux laptop.
You are a mad genius. I'll think about your technique, thanks.
Yet on a past life I managed to migrate code without any major issues, other than components that weren't available on .NET.
Firms in finance run the gamut from being breathtakingly stupid to scarily smart. Since the financial crash things have changed a lot (less stupid guys) though.
Yeah I got that as well. Password hashed / unhashed in logs?? I really do not understand why should passwords be stored in logs or other systems.

Also it does not say it was not misused, simply there is no evidence. we live in interesting times.
I have yet to find a single player in recent years that does not "just work".

If I want to have advanced settings for various things (mainly a/v decoders), I would choose carefully, but to "just work" I would say almost all actively developed media players can do that fine.
The point is that you shouldn't judge all religions because some are bad, any more than you should judge all atheists by the behavior of Russia and China.
How to Write About Africa
This is nice and all, but how is a "like button" going to help this situation in any way?

The root causes don't have to do with informal peer recognition, but a public, measurable kind of recognition, expressed in publications and citations.
Citations actually already are a implicit voting system for quality work. ( in theory...)

Encouraging journals to publish more "boring" research, and if need be, dedicated journals, can have an actual impact.

Edit: what would be more interesting imo is similar but more extensive: a decentralized, public peer review system.
They are still pretty similar, Microsoft re-introduced quite a few features back.
That is really neat! One thing I would point out is to make sure to sanitize the inputs table and schema, because they are passed directly into the SQL query they would be easy targets for a SQL injection if exposed to end users. I personally would add the validation within this view itself.

Any recommendations on an example driven/practical book on implementing CQRS/Event Sourcing for web apps?
I was actually genuinely interested in you expanding what is actually harder, or rather what needs 'managing', I am not doubting your story, I just find it somewhat hard to wrap my mind around the specifics. I don't really personally care if you use Linux or not, but I am kind of tired of always hearing that 'I don't want to manage stuff' talk, without any specifics as to what that actually means.
The "hard" parts of installing Arch are partitions and boot loaders. The old walkthrough gave you a basic method that many people just copied to get a working system, but they had no idea how those areas functioned leaving them screwed should they encounter any problems.

If you want community chosen presets, why are you opting for Arch? And if you don't want presets, knowing how partitions and boot loaders function is necessary. This is also why encryption is a bitch, it adds tons of complexity to partitions and boot loaders.
I believe that solid (benevolent) dictatorship is better(faster, can make unpopular decisions, etc) than democracy.

I don't like any language, but tbh I hate go the least, and I believe this is because few very very dedicated people with enormous amount of experience can simply make unpopular decisions.
Looks neat.

Can you explain more on the following point, in the non-personal information section of the policy?

"navigation paths used while visiting the website or platform"
Normally I would agree with you. But right now in Sudan a non-violent revolution is occurring. The civilians are demanding a civilian government from Hemeti, the head of a militia that is responsible for war crimes in Darfur. Hemeti doesn't care what the western governments think, he is only beholden to the Gulf governments who are propping up the economy with money. They Gulf governments would prefer he uses force quickly and ruthlessly. His troops have used some violence, 4+ died about a week ago. But they haven't cleared the sit-in with their full force yet.

I think this is because if Hemeti used full scale violence he wouldn't have a state to rule over. The non-violent protesters have enough support that a violent response would fracture the armed forces, militias, civilians, and government into non-governable chaos.
Which boils down to the same issue.

Back home CS means Informatics Engineering, a degree certified by the Engineering Order to practice, with enough theory and practice spread across 3 - 5 years.

Those that want CS theory without programing have a major in Mathematics with a minor degree in computing.
> This is provably false, as I can witness from my recent experience where Arch has 14 month old, long superseded, version of a package, while other Linux distros (including Manjaro, but also Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, openSuse, etc.) use the most/more recent version.

Would you mind telling us what package that is?
