Build systems tend to get very complex Turing complete scripts, such as gradle for Java or Make for C. Having something almost as powerful but reducible to a normal form is very helpful for CASE tools.
I have a T520 at home as my linux box. At work I use a 2015 MacBook Pro.

I don't know.

I don't find the T520's keyboard to be any better than the MBP's. The differences in key placement are much more noticeable than any difference in key shape, travel, or response.

Am I missing something?

... and thanks to Linux, it runs like on the first day.

The integrated Intel GPU in my T520 is stuck on XDDM and never got an updated WDDM driver. So it can't run a modern version of Windows anyways.

None of the examples show quoting via ticks, that seems to be a pretty obscure feature.
Not OP but my problem with larger trackpad was unwanted mouse movements. Maybe it was the way I rest my palms while typing but I never had this issue with previous mbp models.
I've got a number of things I would like to work on that are more into the realm of hardware. One thing I'm really wanting to work on is a way for me to manage and interact with my cars ECU through a web interface. Would be useful for a number of things, such as keeping a better maintenance schedule, useful statistics, maybe even tuning...Seems pretty fun.

As far as tracking goes, I can't think of a need for it with my idea, but I know it's used a lot commercially already.

What’s the incentive to purchase insurance? It will reduce their profits. If you are an executive of a company offering earthquake insurance, better to just keeps profits high now, make a high salary, and when the big quake hits, declare bankruptcy and walk away.

It’s also real estate. I have the LG 5K 27” monitor—which I like, by the way, I don’t know why people give it crap—and routinely wish it was just a touch larger.

They do, in fact! It's called reinsurance, and Gen Re (owned by Berkshire Hathaway) is one of the biggest issuers of reinsurance.
Again, we have the same data.

But doesn't lack of data on glucose levels during ketosis with zero-glucose diets in type-1 diabetics seem weird to you too? As far as I know (obviously I may be wrong and I'm not an expert, just a curious person) once your body switches to ketosis it is fueled entirely by ketone bodies (which feels awesome according to my experience, but I'm not diabetic) and does not use glucose any more. I also thought it stops producing glucose from proteins too when in this mode. So this seems an obviously interesting area for research.

You're mixing a few things up here. The set of countries that are affected by the resource curse, and those dealing in financial secrecy (what else would you call it?), are disjoint.

The phenomena are linked through money laundering: wealth generated from state capture in one country does not want to stay in the politically and economically unstable environment it has helped create. It therefore needs to be channeled into the western financial system, the UK or Europe. That's done using shell companies in the BVI, CY, SY, LUX, MT, CH, KN etc. This way financial secrecy creates impunity, where the wealth taken from developing countries evades domestic accountability.

Examples: the Aliyevs, Dos Santos, Karimova, Yanukovych, Roldugin, the cabinet of Goodluck Jonathan, and even the Guptas.

It's also a bit weird to describe this as in issue of BVI sovereignty. The BVI government is run by a governor appointed by the British queen on advice from the British government. It basically duck types as a colony. The same is even more true for IOM, GG, JE. If only there were some explanation for why it benefits the UK to have half a dozen financial secrecy jurisdictions in its sphere of influence. The system is clearly all about sovereignty.

Finally, I did not say that discussing spending was beneath discourse -- merely arguing that governments doing taxation was pretty much what makes them governments. Otherwise it's a golf club.

I'll remain eternally grateful for any further explanations of the mechanisms of finance and their benevolence you may have to offer.

Apple has a history of really bad design ideas in my opinion.

Anyone remember the older Mac towers. Whose bright idea was it to stick razor sharp edges on the handles to pick up a 30 lbs box?

Or requiring people to use a metal file on their MBP so they aren't resting their wrists on a razor sharp edge.

Several years later, it is still a pain having to use dongles to plug in USB devices.

Now give us back the escape key too.

I think it's the numerous single character lifetime annotations that they are referring to. I agree that this particular bit of code is somewhat hard to parse (as a rust amateur), but that might be alleviated quite a bit with some less terse naming.
It even supports 5K if you can find one of the dual-DisplayPort screens. (I'm not sure if there's an adapter for the TB3 screens.)
Incredibly interesting. How can I get more details on this project?
This was also relatively remote. If it had been, say, the East Bay, where there’s high population density and lots of older homes with unreinforced masonry foundations, the situation would look a lot different.

Vastly more power and flexibility, with a highly usable Web interface (LUCI) and console access.

Regular updates.

Excellent documentation.

https://openwrt.org/docs/start

And a whole set of packed applications and tools. There are about 6,000 packages in total, ranging from device-specific and kernel support to advanced applications such as media servers. Link below is just the larger apps.

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/start

Re-romming my DSL modem (500 Mhz dual-core CPU, 64 MB RAM, 8 MB Flash), as advantages over stock vendor firmware, I get:

- SSH access, rather than periodically-enabled telnet

- adblock

- remote logging capabilities.

- performance and activity monitoring.

- consistent interface with my router (also running OpenWRT).

- Full-featured shell tools rathee than barebones Busybox versions, if I like.

- Remote filesystems / additional storage.

Depending on your device(s) and capabilities, your modem, router, or other hardware can serve as a home server: NAS, UuuNextCloud, Webserver, VOIP services, media server, PXEBoot (useful for testing images/deployments), guest network(s), VPN, proxy servers, email, mesh networks, messaging, captive portals, and far more.
It does, and the article affirms this. However it's a question of relative magnitude. The energy dissipated by the smaller quakes is dwarfed in comparison to larger quakes. The energy of a 5.5 quake is on the order of 1/1000th the energy of a mag 7 quake.
They'll take a hit in their ratings if they do. Insurance companies are rated by independent analysts such as A.M. Best, Moody's, and Standard and Poor's. Customers, especially large customers, research issuers before purchasing insurance, and a poorly-rated company is likely to get fewer customers.
https://mailchi.mp/8e0622427dd5/prjmgrwkly - Newsletters around Project Management topics.

I feel most of the newsletters that aggregate stories and articles have too links. The reader gets overwhelm with what to read and what to skip.

I am taking a different strategy and aggregating only four links per week. The reader could quickly scan the four links. If any of them is interesting, click and read. Otherwise, hit the delete and move on for the day. I don't want to reader to be captive if he finds the links do no add value for them. Their time is to valuable and I respect that.

Also I am using this side project as motivation to consume the various articles for my day job.

Finding something to do with agricultural waste is useful. There's so much of it already. Doing it profitably is hard. People have been trying hard for a century. Henry Ford was into this.

It's possible to make something like particle board from bagasse, the waste from sugar cane. But it's never become big. Corncobs and corn silk are available in huge quantities, but other than animal feed, not much is done with them. The energy input, processing cost, and transportation cost usually defeats this, because what you get out is usually a low-value product.

This is a neat app! Really simple and straight to the point. Fantastic job Julian!
I love hearing stories like yours. I wonder how Elixir would compare to Clojure, which I've used and liked for web development for many years. I hear nothing but good things about Elixir but I wonder if it would bring something new to the table for me in the "really liking it" category.
C7 rev 2 works flawlessly with OpenWRT
Most insurance works on the basis that we have some underlying risk (probability) and resulting cost (multiplied together gives us the expectation) of annual payout. A lot of these funds however are financed through CAT bonds [1]. The idea of CAT bonds is that the sort of financial business cycle (a la 2007/8 housing market crash) are decorrelated enough with other financial movements that you "shouldn't™" both have a bad natural disaster and a sudden shift in the business cycle. However, a lot of these insurance companies are then further reinsured with specific contractual limitations so that ideally the fund won't run out.

In the real world, the government can act as insurer of last resort and use tax dollars to with financing (though these usually are ideally set up with the initial fund).

I disagree that it has zero roots. It's not whitespace sensitive, so it does throw out a ton of YAML's distinctive syntax.

What you're left with is YAML's core expressiveness, which is that within a text file you can express the basic structures of maps, sequences, some atoms and user-typed [1] nodes.

YAML also has some limited facilities for avoiding repetition, such as aliases and anchors[2]. And a YAML parser can use tags to simulate functions[3].

Dhall is preserving all those capabilities, and then adds real functions and type declarations to further expand the ability to avoid repetition and to avoid mistakes. It's also using a proper type system rather than basically returning a parse tree back.

And whereas these advanced features in YAML are rarely useful because the parser has to go out of its way to support them, it seems like Dhall may be able to make them work properly. So I'd say seeing another project attempt something and then trying to do it right is definitely being influenced by it.

The idiomatic way to do that is to match errors in the else branch of the with statement.

I've been using Elixir and Phoenix for a customer for a couple of years. It's ok to great, especially when spawning jobs, with some stains.

I'm not a great fan of the with syntax. I wish they implemented it as a native statement of the language instead of as a macro. In that way they probably could let us write the same code inside and outside a with, instead of having to transform = into <- and add a comma.

But the worst offenders are GenServers. They should really have the syntax of OO classes instead of the incomprehensible handle* functions. After all that's what they are, objects with their own CPU. (Remember Armstrong about Erlang being the only true OO language?)

By the way, that would make it easier to code, to understand and to migrate people from imperative languages.
I can't tell what your description of LiveView is suggesting, I will need to read about it, sounds interesting. Is it like a codebase that is implicitly split on a back-end and a browser, without the need to write JavaScript?

How many people who feed their pets the cheapest food out there would take their pets to a vet?

Just because the expensive brands get reported more doesn't mean the cheap brands are better.
Auto-updates (not otherwise supported by OpenWRT) fire-and-forget deployments, extensible hardware (add internal disk, NAS enclosure), and very future-proofed with beafy CPU, storage, and memory.

That's worth the modest price premium, and is comparable to similarly-specced proprietary offerings.
As someone who does due diligence for a (partial) living I try to approach the question asking part of the process from as objective a perspective as possible, my goal at that point is to establish an understanding of the company's technology, staff, and processes, not make judgements. Asking questions where there are "right" and "wrong" (or "better" and "worse") answers induces the responder to think "what does the person asking this question want to hear", not "what is the most factual response I can give". Only after I'm confident that I have a clear picture of the company will I make a subjective assessment, and there it is primarily by comparing them to peers, not by ranking them on any absolute or idealized scale (with exceptions for certain "red flags", e.g. releasing products without reproducible builds).
expensive, yah. After I posted I did a little digging.

"The RAD750 is a radiation-hardened single board computer manufactured by BAE" and "The RAD750 system has a price that is comparable to the RAD6000 which is US$200,000 per board (per 2002 reference)"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAD750>

More general info here, inc. use of an 8086 and a MIPS R3000: "The CPUs of Spacecraft Computers in Space" <http://www.cpushack.com/space-craft-cpu.html> which backs up the chip cost mentioned above. Generally interesting.

Completely agree that if it's fast enough, why change it.
Python and Go pick up your trash for you, but sometimes they get in your way while they do so. If you generate a lot of trash, you might find yourself stopped quite often.

C lets you litter everywhere, but if you or anyone else steps on your trash it will tackle you to the ground. Usually. Sometimes it ignores the first 10 times and does it on the eleventh.

Rust snatches up your trash as soon as you're done with it, but if it can't reason well about when you'll be done using it, it will make you fill out a form explaining how you plan to use it. It will also slap you silly if you try to deviate from that plan.
I cant deal with 1080p anymore, and large (27"+) 1080p monitors make no sense to me. Maybe they're good for people who need to have physically large text etc. but I find it useless for fitting information densely on the screen. I for one would rather use my 13" MacBook pro laptop screen than a large 1080p display. (I use a 24 inch 4k monitor and it's pretty great.)
This bothered me a lot.

Industrial demand is only half the story. The value of gold also lies within the fact that unlike fiat currency, it cannot be created out of thin air. Global stockpiles of gold are well known, annual production is small and predictable.

This means that if you sell a car for gold, you can expect that gold to be worth the value of a car a year or two from now. Fiat money does not offer such assurance, it can lose most of its value almost overnight if government turns on printing presses or fucks up in some other way (see Turkish lira or Venezuelan bolivar).

Cryptocurrencies mimick the same properties of gold. Their "base value" comes from the speed/ease of transactions and other useful features (eg cannot be confiscated). Their supply is algorithmically limited and well-known in advance.
There's lots of regulations, but the regulations seem flawed by design. For example, in California at least, buildings need to be built to survive earthquakes, but not necessarily be functional.

https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-earthquake-legi...

In the event of a larger quake, you might survive the initial shock but a high percentage of your city, including new buildings will need to be torn down.

This represents a huge loss to a city in economic terms. Imagine if downtown LA lost 50% of its office buildings and apartment buildings. Compare this to Japan where buildings survive and are required to be usable. Japanese engineers are shocked at what they consider to be American substandard building codes.

The US govt has even concluded that better and stiffer building codes would save billions a year: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.nibs.org/resource/resmgr/docs/MS_C...
I have had a pretty incredible urge lately to work on some similar software. I'd love an app, for example, like Committed (linked below) that had SIMPLE live-collaboration functionality.

That's irrelevant to the question of whether it's an investment or not. Bad investments are still investments.
Not really. They were profitable, they just invested heavily in infrastructure (warehouses) and developing new services (AWS).

Amazon lost about $2 billion in their first six years of operations.

And Walmart's online presence would be profitable now if they weren't investing heavily in infrastructure (20 fulfillment centers trying to catch up to Amazon's 110) and new services (online catalog to match Amazon's).
