If Mad Men[0] is to be believed, there was plenty of littering in the US in the 1960s.[1] It took many public awareness campaigns by government and private industry, in a country far richer with nearly universal literacy, over multiple decades to make littering socially unacceptable. And I still see plenty of litter in the US today. Change takes time.

Combined with https://dmv.ca.gov (which logs into google, and uses recaptcha extensively) it becomes a serious question.
This looks on the surface like exactly the book I need but a quick look at the amazon reviews shows some flaws, no answers to the exercises seems a bit annoying. I’d also really like an eBook that is formatted rather than a PDF because I read on a phone.

Saying that, I really would like to be better at math so might end up trying anyway.
You're correct about Java. It was an explicit decision that the only local variable's type declarations and lambda parameters may be inferred with `var`.

This excludes, as you mentioned, the return types of a function, its parameter's types, as well as the types of fields in a class.
The article didn't even say that. It just said that the game cost too much and other sports were winning out over it. The closest that it said was people wanted shorter games. That doesn't mean they don't have time for a long game but likely that they just don't want to spend 3 hours on one game.

The average person now has more free time than ever before, they just pack it full of stuff. Almost everyone could find much more free time if they dropped other activities like watching tv shows or social media.

Well that's a double-edged sword.

With the polish comes a lack of customization, which is my favorite thing about Linux. So that's probably my biggest reservation about a potential move to MacOS.

The real threat to free internet is not Azure or AWS but things like AMP. You can still host your website even on a server in your basement.

IPFS is a great idea but it is very hard to implement something like this. It was tried before (hello Wuala) but no success. I am not sure if this idea can be implemented at all.

I was confused by your question so I checked the Wikipedia entry for "informatics"

I don't understand, how can you be an expert in "informatics" and not have a solid grasp of technology? Something doesn't add up. Any chance you could elaborate??
As someone that had to interface sharepoint once or twice, I cannot get behind the idea to replace folders. Folders are just a simple tree structure. Like any table of contents or index. That is not a concept too hard to understand. My 75 year old grandpa mastered this in about 10 minutes.

I have much more problems with people that ask how they can scrap their images from smartphones. Because they don't know where their custom app likes to save them. And I have to search too. This is 100 times worse if you do not use the one way the manufacturer intended that might not be applicable to your use case.

The article mentions some really good ideas for window managers. I currently use a widescreen curved monitor that is pretty awesome, but the normal windows window manager is actually quite decent. You just use a few different hotkeys. Nothing that inhibits "productivity".

You are explicitly trying to put it out of context and I don't understand why.

Thats tracking and object and not "hunting". Even the hover link which makes that video visible mentions this:

It's probably me, but the (great looking) web-site gave me no idea what the use-case of nuronlabs is. Naming a problem that nuronlab solves (and ideally showing how this is done) would be helpful.
That's a lot of false equivalence in one comment.

Whatever we each may feel about the Archive's policy, it's a bit over the top to compare it with forcing someone to never speak of what they saw, or to go into anyone's home to seize their books or destroy their personal newspaper collection.
This is a really poor article with a click-bait headline. I was expecting this to be a case study where Python type annotations just couldn't work due to some interesting specifics of the projects. Instead, it's some petty gripes about the syntax of annotations not being just to the author's liking.
I’m more concerned by the idea that wanting “to win” is “boy energy”. Why should we persist the idea that wanting to win is a boy thing, and wanting to create/personalize is (as implied by your comment) a girl thing?
My folks belonged to a club, we were not wealthy, but my parents enjoy golf and it's a super important place for them to engage with their peers. It was an important community to them.

We also belonged to a Ski club (again, not super expensive), and it was essentially our community. I think most of our family friends were part of that club or neighbouring one's.

Most of them were a little well off (think Dentist), but most were definitely not rich, though sure there were some.

Though clubs have been seen as the domain of the rich, they are really a great thing, I wish there were more of them.

The only real negative attribute I see is that they can be seen as a strong sign of class: people will be judged on what club they belong to, and the fees will determine status. It doesn't have to be that way however.
That is very precious material. As the world slides closer and closer to the last of those who saw these things with their own eyes dropping off the chances of repetition are increasing and their real life memories may be just what will stop the next round of madness.

It's unfortunate that "Matrix" has nothing to do with actual matrices and that "Synapse" has nothing to do with neuroscience or even neural networks. Makes me want to name my next matrix (actual rows and columns of numbers) library something like "advanced telephony and messaging" but a stupid name for a stupid name makes the whole world utterly ungoogleable so I'll refrain.
I feel baking type annotations on top of dynamic, late binding languages is fundamentally misunderstanding what they are about. Python might not go as far as say, smalltalk, but if you're picking a dynamic language just accept the runtime dynamism and don't program against it.
Python has a well-established convention of _underscore for intended-to-be-private members, with no enforcement, and it works fine. Just document your conventions. The horrors of some other programmer using it wrong seem overblown to me.

In my IDE in c++ I can quickly refactor m_ to non-m to make it "semantically public" without having to edit header files, change struct packing order / ABI, etc. And most of the time I don't even bother with m_. It's one less thing to think about. I honestly don't think access specifiers are worth wasting mental cpu cycles on in most projects.

Besides, in c++ people can always cast your intricately-protected object to a void pointer and start manipulating it nefarioisly anyway. Just document and communicate, and write simple straightforward code.

I used pimpl at the time for faster recompiles when changing "private" stuff. Better build tools got me around that problem personally, but I'm sure it has it's uses.
One thing about Nineteen Eighty-Four that I find interesting is that in the society it depicts, only a minority of people actually demand a big effort from the oppression mechanisms. Most of the population seems to be effectively pacified by ignorance, drugs, sex, simple entertainments, simple propaganda (such as militarist nationalism against *-asia), and usually having enough food to not starve. They probably are not actually likely to engage in wrongthink except on rare occasions. It is the minority in the "Inner Party" (and probably higher levels as well) that demands extra attention.

It solves the problem by decoupling the public interface and necessary implementation details (object size), the register/unregister functions can be moved to an internal only header file, maybe even some file scoped functions. AFAIK this is not possible with a class declaration.

I think you could also solve this specific problem with an internal header file in c++ too (by moving register/deregister to it's own class) but this solution solves other problems like binary compatibility.
Honestly surprised there's a "need" for this. This is the kind of thing I would shoot down as a business idea, simply from the standpoint of - nobody needs that.

I'm obviously wrong as there are successful examples like universe out there. But boy does it show me that I'm often completely detached from the consumer in these instances.

I didn't know what "Vernacular architecture" meant, so for everyone else who doesn't know either and is waiting for the page to load here's the first sentence in its Wikipedia entry:

Vernacular architecture is architecture characterised by the use of local materials and knowledge, usually without the supervision of professional architects. Vernacular buildings are typically simple and practical, whether residential houses or built for other purposes.

Even then, that's a lot.

I think the premise of this blog post is misguided.

Yes, there are two things about introducing types that the author finds annoying. So don't do those two things, and use type annotations for all the rest.

The type annotation system and mypy are designed to give you benefits even if you don't fully annotate everything -- that's the starting point of nearly all existing python code bases.

Very well then. The robot is tracking a child with weapons drawn! Better? That was meant as a joke, it looks poor in taste because it is running after a child with the cannister of the cannon pointed towards the child. It even has "cannon cam" vision!! Without the cannon it's a great display of modern technology. With it, it looks kinda funny.
I guess it depends on definition of "flat" (or "without hierarchy". The way I understand flat is that people are peers, they have same access to power. That is, there are no kings and no lords, either.

That doesn't mean there cannot be "hierarchy" in the sense of administrative division (state, county) or in the sense of respect (like in Linux kernel development for instance).
>I desperately want an Apple monitor

I continue to not understand why people want this. There is nothing of value that Apple provide over other brand assuming same QA. You are only buying it for the brand. And you will be paying double the price for it.

This is unlike a router where Apple said they don't provide any value, well they do, not just the ease of use but the Security and Software update, privacy stand of not selling out its users. There is little software or differentiation in Monitor.

I am not against the idea, I just doubt there are many on the market willing to spend $1000 on a monitor when it could be had for less than $600.

Your argument is that IPFS would be a better product had they hired those distinguished ex-FAANG engineers instead of obscure developers? The article outlines mostly UX and product decision problems. It doesn't seem to me that their engineering teams are holding them back.

In D, you can access private members of a class within a single module. I like it, because it allows to move methods outside of the class, but doesn't require explicit friend declarations. And you still have the data protection because other modules can't access the private fields.

I personally find a "right ro be forgotten" as such laughable, but I understand it was specifically introduced not to expose something stupid you did or said, or a non-advantageous photo taken from you or similar as your only public record in times of clickbait and staged polarizing crap. Then there's the problem of copyrighted material, and of publishing stuff on your site with the intent of making money off your user's attention via ads, one of the very few avenues of financing content creation. All these concerns have to be balanced against another, which creates a difficult legal environment for archival sites.
My experience is that side projects will land you an interview, but they still test for personality and technical ability.
Not aussieguy, but cache everything on the network level. If you need anything dynamic, do it SPA style and bypass the WordPress backend.

There's no getting around the 50-200 request/sec barrier of the codebase. The most popular sites use it as a fancy static site generator.

Write your dynamic stuff in React or Vue (something client side). Then point it at a custom backend built to handle the load. For comments and the like, maybe mongo or elastic with Go/Java.

I've only seen a couple sites popular enough to do this.

A danger with WordPress is attackers finding a stray dynamic endpoint (not cached) and taking site down by curling or F5. Unless you have a super beefy server, it's possible to kill a site spamming F5 if you find an action not cached. This is a technical problem for all WordPress sites but only a practical one for sites large enough to be a target.

Some sites the use sitemap functionality to pregenerate all pages as HTML and serve that. It's the only way to be truly secure with WordPress

First, thank you for the kind words and actually taking the time to make a site!

You're totally right that it's not necessarily a straight forward space. Constraining any complicated job (and websites are actually quite complicated) into a space where data entry is a hassle, fine tune controls are difficult, and it's hard to see the output at the same time as doing the creation task ... eek!

That said, I'm excited about the direction the app has taken as it has good potential for simply UX.

The other company in the space that's doing a neat job (and not in your list) is Universe! They've also got a really novel take on things.

Anyhow, thanks again for giving it a whirl!!

There's a clock using French Revolutionary Time exposed at Musée des Arts et Métiers if you happen to be in Paris and want to see one.

I've been using centidays (and dimidays) for a few years now and it works well for me as a personal time keeping system in combination with local time (at local noon the sun is at its highest point in the sky and the clock shows 50:00) and a lunisolar calendar. More on that here: https://geodate.org

A centiday is precisely 864 seconds, and 4 centidays is almost equivalent to 1 hour (3456 seconds) so it's not too hard to make rough conversions.

I made a little Fitbit app so my watch could display the time (with the longitude given by the GPS of my phone) and I have a sundial in the garden that works just as well. It's quite fun to play with time keeping systems.

Fwiw I can remember a time when I was like "Why on earth would anyone want Squarespace when they can host their own site!?"

These days I try to assume I probably don't understand! For the start of this product, we had a Design Sprint where we came up with the idea, and then brought in real Instagram users to test the idea on (with very lowfi prototypes) befor actually building!
From the Terms: "You must be 13 years or over to create a Milkshake account. If you are under 18 years of age, you will need the permission of a parent or legal guardian (who is at least 18 years of age) to create a Milkshake account."

Seeing that Instagram only requires the age of 13, I wonder if teens will actually bother with permission from their parents/guardians to use Milkshake. Or is this something that will only be enforced after being revealed as under 18? And why 18?

Oh yay!!! I was super nervous giving that talk, but I do love side projects.

This one is a mix. I have a side project running an Instagram account so had seen first hand a lot of the needs you run into with a single link in bio, plus all the different neat linking solutions (shout out to another Australian company - Linktree!).

So when it came up in Dec that we were thinking of an angle on the website market, and our marketer suggested we think about Instagram, it all clicked.
