One big upside of using __slots__, which the docs tell you not to use it for, is that it will throw an error if you try to access or assign to a member that is not one of the slots. Very handy for catching bugs.
Honestly, you should never drive as fast to get under- or oversteer in normal traffic. The only exception would be icy road, but then you shouldn't drive more than walking speeds.

So step number 1. is not to drive as fast that you exceed the limits of your full control.

There is no step 2.

Thats why apprenticeships and trade schools need better marketing. The glorification of bachelor degrees is toxic.

Recently, there seems to be this ever-growing, romantic vision of turning the clock back to a time when the browser was simpler.

Certainly, in terms of accessibility, the JavaScript (and Browser) landscape has never been better than it is now. General awareness and tooling for building online experiences that consider disabled users has led to an infinitely better time for these people when using the internet, overall.

Sure, some people build shitty products that make your fan spin and ignore disabled users. But that's because they've built a shitty product, not because of the 'modern browser' itself.

At least one exists - caffeine. Double-blind studies have proven many times that it improves alertness, which leads to higher scores on many mental performance tests. I find it implausible that no others exist.

I just completed a new driver course in Quebec. They specifically space out the in-car sessions over a whole year to ensure this kind of practice. Yes, my instructor and I went on a highway while it was snowing with bad visibility.

We also get taught to inspect the car before getting in in case (for example) the exhaust pipe is blocked.

More training is needed in most countries.

A downside of __slots__ is that the way they are set up, you can only have slots come from one branch of an inheritance hierarchy, so they don't work out very well for fancy OO interface / mixin type stuff.
Good, now let's make sure they're actually not super toxic to humans beforehand rather than lie to people and cover up evidence until public outcry causes them to be taken off the market.
It is; and with that perspective the nooptropics/supplements market shows how much value can be placed on that effect.
I think you're conflating the issue of gender neutrality with more recent discussions of non-binary and trans gender identities. People have always needed gender neutral pronouns to say things like "Everyone has their flaws", or to talk about individuals whose gender is unknown or irrelevant. The only question has been whether it's 'he/him/his' or 'they/them/theirs'. If you speak a dialect of English where 'they' can function as a gender-neutral singular pronoun, then there's really no reason at all not to use that pronoun to refer to Steve Wozniak.

The use of singular 'they' has been common for (at least) several decades, long before any substantial number of people were worried about trans issues.
My First Podcast: A Tale of a Broken Ecosystem
The companies with strongest engineering culture and most value growth I've worked at were two US-based startups who hired a lot of remote people, including Latin America and Europe.

I would say the predominant reason for them to hire remotes was the fact that you can get some very good to amazing people for a price of someone unremarkable in their area (NYC and SF respectively). Also, if you just need manpower, you can get some solid performers for $60k-$90k. Given the tight budget of early stage startups (one of them refused to take funding and relied on a lot of remote people until they got sold for hundreds of millions), their call was that higher caliber of people outweights locality.
> Javascript is not the problem, bloated and spammy websites are.

It is part of the problem. Because of what Javascript allows and makes possible, bloat can thrive and endure in the modern web.
Perhaps not the best translation. It means that you have to adapt to the conditions and also for instance that driving with one hand because you have a cup of coffee, using your phone or having to manage a naughty pet that jumped to the front seat is not an acceptable excuse
this is too awesome! that's quite a lot of work to get the pcie exposed, soldering and such i try to stay away from so great for the author.

the form factor of pcie devices doesn't really play well with rpi, but there's definitely a need for faster, more stable persistent storage. i have heard a lot of issues with microsd cards based on wear leveling and such. it would be really nice if rpi could develop like an m2 interconnect where i could install an nvme ssd within the form factor of an rpi, that would make for a truly incredible little machine.
> Now MS is not the top dog anymore, Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook are all eating his lunch.

MS is one of the most valuable companies in the world, and regularly surpasses Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook as the most valuable company in the world.

I doubt that your definition of sanity is at all useful here. You're obviously not familiar with the core teams that comprise MS and you're not disseminating any information here that is even remotely useful.

I guess you're safe in the bubble here though where people think Windows is simply unusable because some of the control panel windows have a different dressing than other ones and that macOS is the best despite that it's missing the most basic window management features! Hah!!

>imbalance of anything and address it

I doubt everyone needs the exact same balance of chemicals/nutrients. That puts us back into the "level of pain" area of subjectivity. "Does this new vitamin balance make you feel better?"

We'd not want them to feel too good, mind you. That would be drugs!
Amazing they can measure timing differences less than nanoseconds and use them to localize phenomena millions or billions of light years away. And I can't reliably measure whether I made my program 1% faster or not :(
And sell the data to governments and advertisers. Sounds like a plan!
I've seen pcie literally run over a metal clothes hanger soldered to the board. It's extremely tolerant of terrible quality connections.

There is a very (very!) small chance that there are isolated biomes that split from life's tree before what we call the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) and are still plugging along. But it's pretty much impossible that some sister-metabolism from the pre-DNA days could just 'struggle along' side-by-side what we consider 'biology'. When something out-competes another by factors of 1000x or 1000000x, extinction is the only outcome. It's not like elephants and ants finding different niches for billions of years; we're talking about systems of molecules where most of the building blocks are at most a dozen or two atoms and most of the feedstocks are less than 5 (CH4, NH2, O2, H2S, CO, CO2, etc). What's this poor, struggling cousin that we outcompete by a factor of a million going to eat that we can't eat better? Similarly, how does it adapt and evolve against its peers when 999999/1000000 interactions aren't against peers but against us and our self-contained, portable, self-replicating, weaponized Krebs cycle machines?
Is it ok to mentally replace the word/concept “gravitational field” with “energy density field”?

A fully loaded DC-3 can takeoff in just over 2000ft. A C-130 needs almost 4000ft.

> Notably, Erlang's model, while it has excellent properties, falls down on all three of these other requirements.

Being nitpicky, but I'd argue Erlang only falls down on speed where it's computationally bound. Where it's IO bound (e.g. a prototypical chat server) Erlang has excellent speed characteristics - where speed is measured in concurrency and latency.

But I absolutely get that's not the interpretation of "speed" you meant.

Appreciate the explanation.
Free* Proofreading for Startups
I'm 100% for using data to help personalize learning but I strongly believe using a computer for even half of the learning leads to large negative results in social skills & physical health.

Instead of using the tech start up mentality, I think a lot more benefit could be done by helping teachers build relationships with there students & having open dialogue on what they like & what they don't. I get that this means throwing more money at lower teacher/student ratios which is hard to do but I think it would have a greater impact than tech. I say this as someone whose life & thoughts towards learning did a 180 once they were introduced to the internet & computers in the 90s.

Yes, computers can change the lesson plan & personalize per student faster & better than a teacher. But at what cost?

While multiple techniques exists, are there that many that a teacher can't try multiple out on there students and record how they respond? I feel if we had reasonable classroom sizes of 10:1 this would be fairly easy to do.

I also feel we could cut down the amount of info we jam into students heads & focus on learning the more important concepts. I believe Bill Gates & many others have started preaching this as well.

You don't need to learn everything but there are some core skills that we don't spend enough time on that will benefit us much longer.
>getting more ram today versus in the future is just a question of deferring costs

What scenario did you have in mind? RAM in macbooks is soldered. Getting more ram in the future means finding a new computer.

The 8gb ram/256gb config is insulting. It's like a base model car without power windows or locks or a radio. Pure lemon.

I can't really speak to business or HR questions. My role is focused on our relationship with developers. What I can say...We are a distinct entity in IBM and the only person reporting to an IBMer is Jim (our CEO) who now reports to Ginny (IBM CEO). We retain control over our associates. That said, the actions taken in the coming months and years will provide the real proof.

Speaking to integration. In terms of the Red Hat developer tools portfolio (which is ~15 tools and plugins), and a mix of Red Hat supported products and upstream open source projects - there is no change to our roadmap.

We are committed to continuing to invest deeply in open source as we have from Red Hat's inception.

We are going to continue to publish and support IDE plugins for VS Code [1], JetBrains [2] and Eclipse [3] - even if they compete with IBM plugins.

We will also continue to offer CodeReady Workspaces for the OpenShift Kubernetes platform [4]. I expect this will be of increasing interest to IBM customers as they adopt OpenShift more aggressively. The open source upstream project for this offering (Eclipse Che [5]) is also an area that has seen increasing IBM participation over the past year.

In open source communities there continues to be collaboration around the Eclipse Foundation's Cloud Development portfolio [6]. Be on the lookout for some announcements here in the coming months.

Similarly there's interest from IBM in continuing to create open source language servers that adhere to the Language Server Protocol [7] that the Red Hat tools could consume.

Why you are being downvoted is strange to me as it is a valid point to make. Low velocity hits with a pedestrian and a bike or moped without serious injuries are not something to give heavy fines to or involve the legal system as basic injuries are covered by general insurance and in this case the pedestrian was at least partially at fault. And otherwise the cost to society would be bigger than the medical and administrative. The parties have been helped and punished, don't make it worse than required.

Be aware though that this is not always the case. For instance if you are driving next to a playing field you are expected to watch out and brake for children who can always show up on the road and not doing so has consequences.
Except we don't know exactly how these things work yet. It's not like CRISPR or even our understanding of the genome is very good. (Except a few mutations we know are very bad.)

So I can agree to a certain point, but it's not like we are at "sure, fire away" levels like in Star Trek.
Yes! Exercise and a diet consisting largely of fresh food. And then some junk food, because life is for the living and you have to find some time for enjoyment as well.

Could this be fixed by dynamically-created anchors, so for instance when one is adding a new row to the "job experience" section of an application form, the reload to add the new row could also direct the user to "somesite.com/jobapp#JobExp2"?
A couple of random thoughts:

1. If it's like Javascript, async and await basically boil down to converting to and from Promises. There's no reason to have to transitively perpetuate `async` annotations: you can just deal directly with a completely normal Promise object instead. (But you soon find you like `async` better :-))

2. The “caller decides” model is actually considered good practice in Go: expose synchronous primitives, and let callers compose them with Goroutines if they want to.
So, if I have a phone number on my profile which I have willingly shared to my connections but specifically not to anyone I'm not connected with - your product solicits my connections to share my phone number with other people who are also not my connections?

A big no thanks from me, seems pretty damn invasive.

I also don't see a privacy policy on your page? Would you mind laying out what sort of data you are collecting and what you do with it? Are you selling this data to other firms?

Just a heads up, if you collect personal information (you do), you are required by law to have a privacy policy. Assuming you serve customers in California, EEA, Canada, and other places - you may want to abide by the requirements set out (CalOPPA, COPPA, GDPR)

On Being a Bad Manager
I always found REST (and GraphQL or any API for that matter) tedious as it's basically abstracting SQL queries.

To my knowledge the abstraction is necessary to mitigate SQL injection and data permissions.

With RLS in Postgres, I think the data access problem has largely been solved where someone with the wrong JWT simply can't query other people's data if RLS is setup properly.

However, I don't know of a way to lock down a PostgresDB enough for clients to be able to write their own SQL statements.

It's easy enough to remove operations like DROP TABLE xx; but it seems like for a client to safely query a database we're stuck writing these boilerplate abstractions (or auto-generating them now).
"BUT MY SON WANTS A CHICKEN SANDWHICH!!!"
This is the key of the article:

Rothman looked through these geologic records and observed that over the last 540 million years, the ocean’s store of carbon changed abruptly, then recovered, dozens of times in a fashion similar to the abrupt nature of a neuron spike. This “excitation” of the carbon cycle occurred most dramatically near the time of four of the five great mass extinctions in Earth’s history.

I'm not an expert but the term "near" in geological times is not so "near" in life span times, I think the article is not so objective...

However, that we're creating a problem is obvious.

It isn't mean spirited at all. It's observations based on his videos the past 1-2 years. He also has pretty blah production quality with rough edits, often terrible lighting, lots of rambling, more oft than not questionable (at best) safety practices, when he's doing chemistry he never has proper safety equipment etc. Unlike NileRed that has fantastic lighting, proper ventilation, obviously at least partially scripts what he's going to say, doesn't get sidetracked with unrelated rants..
Could also look at flat flexible cable like is used to connect Crossfire devices. Those have equal length traces and shouldn't be too far off in impedance.

Let's say gas increases to $8/gallon in the US. Your choice is either to spend more on gas, buy a new car solely to increase MPG, or spend more time getting to places by walk/bike/public transport. All of which would lower my quality of life. In exchange I guess my health insurance costs eventually go down somehow?
No, that's the beautiful part. When winter rolls around, the cats simply freeze to death.
I think some people may be misintepreting this number. The actual event was free to attend.

The $2 charge was not the admission price, but the cost of a round trip train ticket to the event from anywhere in Texas. Other possibly more reliable sources say that this ticket varied in price and was as much as $5 depending on origin: http://www.lsjunction.com/facts/crush.htm.

So while there was a lot of economic activity associated with the crash, it wasn't the equivalent of a modern event with $2.4 million of gate receipts.
YMMV. People have different palms. Sometimes when it's cold or my hands are a little clammy not even my index finger registers on the track pad or my phone.
> can build a system that’s accessible to everyone.

you can't build something that is accessible to "everyone". It's a myth. Because some people will stray so far away from the "median capabilities you can expect", you can't even imagine their problems or use cases. It's a very, very hard problem and well known in numerous areas of product design.
