I am in such a period and have been for months. Stupid company demands we ship something no matter what, even though there is insufficient time to do all the work, and they keep adding more on top of it. I work 7 days a week, no vacations, hardly even a weekend day off much less a vacation. I even lost my temper at work and yelled a lot, something I never do. This is no way to do proper work either. At least what little time I have away from this nightmare I do art which helps somewhat.

> Why is the aesthetics important to you?

Because I enjoy looking good, where looking good is defined by my own aesthetics. You are not the arbiter on what I get to spend my limited amount of "focus" credits on in life, and I find your insinuation that my caring about my appearance and style is "immature" a little offensive.

Your life is not my life. Pretty straightforward.
The best way is probably a bootstrap script ie. ps1 or sh which supplies the platform-specific parameters, and can pip install any script dependencies. So, 3-file solution.
Additonally, this can be generalised to a CI platform as python can subprocess-run anything there's not a native lib for.
Lastly, you could do autodoc via the script for a complete solution.

There's no rational explanation but it's the right thing to do

Computing professionals trace their roots to primarily home computing enthusiasts, academics and video game nerds all of whom seem to prefer casual dress in their professional pursuits --

Look at the people working on UNIVAC

Do we all have so little in common with them we have to absolutely shun professional dress every day of the danged week?

Nowadays a bunch of half baked adolescents in hoodies would be moving fast and breaking tubes all over the linoleum, is it a wonder there's no diversity left when all one is allowed to wear is Jeans and printed T's in order to 'fit in'? T-shirts have no place in the professional world, they're the opposite of professional

The way I see it, there's a confirmation bias in place here which states 'software developers are a casual lot, to be become one I gotta be casual'

Of all people software developers should be aware of the central limit theorem as applies to these sorts of heuristics and end the games already, before we're walking around in togas and flip-flops looking look ancient romans at the agora

No, you should not use output-references in code you share with people, but in my opinion it is one of the main reasons why jupyter notebooks in general put a large emphasis on displaying cell numbers

In which case you’d be a manager. There’s no getting around the value multiplier of making other people more valuable. Even traders and movie stars have a ceiling as compared to the people that run hedge funds and movie studios.
That would have all the pleasures of typing on a table, hitting your fingertips on a hard surface. Try it.
Note: correct me if I’m wrong, but to be relevant to this theorem and definition of sensitivity, the two strings would have to be for the same circuit and therefore be the same length, which is much harder than finding hash collisions in general.

And I thought they had ways to construct hash functions so that all the inputs of the same length have a different output?

Considering modules are a major feature in C++20, I doubt the standards committee considers this language gap a "nit".

There are properties of C++, like textual inclusion, that make shipping and maintaining code hard. Piling up header files and expecting downstream users to understand how the include search path will work is the current approach. I would just label it realistic more than a best practice. If it's a best practice for packaging, that is only because the current options are so disatisfying.

And all of that is basically orthogonal to whether you use a language specific package manager or an OS specific one.

But it seems it can be easily solved having dividers in cargo compartment.

Think of box with a grid inside it

Once the cargo is filled

The grid lines are raised (hydraulics) which compartmentize the whole cargo into blocks.

Invidual compartment will not have enough mass of material inside it to break the dividers if designed properly.

That’s very true for calorie dense foods like wheat, potatoes, rice, etc. It’s less so for other plants like lettuce which have a short lifespan, don’t store or transport well, and have significant risks for contamination as they are eaten raw.

Essentially vertical farms would be limited to 0.01% of food production, but could be profitable.
New Reddit remains slow, which engendered badwill.

New Twitter, on the other hand, messes up its primary product - the users' feed - to give unfollowed content. It breaks the idea that the user is curating their personal feed, and that is problematic.

Eh, at least in my case the offer they extended me was shit (speaking from my privileged and fortunate position). Combined with that promotion process it was easy to reject (and a month later I got an offer elsewhere for one level and $75k/year more).
>You and I must be watching different commercials, because I see far more of the former.

I think it's changed a lot since the 60s and 70s. Cars are seen as more utilitarian now, and younger people don't even care about getting their license, let alone being concerned with "what you drive".
You can have a bit of messiah or jesus complex without having mental illness, and mental illness is a broad term for an entire field of medicine, so it's not very specific. I don't think we can call it mental illness unless we are trained psychiatrists and we'd assessed him.
IN THE ARticle linked above if you care to click through to the internal links in the article you will get some interesting wider information. However. The important part of the article is not that vaccines have un acknowledged safety issues or not but that google have decided to take a position.

Confederation occurred in 1867. That is often considered to be the birth of the country. However, the concept of Canada as a place existed prior to that. And, yes, it was inhabited by people who called themselves Canadian even if they were also British citizens (until 1939, if memory serves correctly).
I don't think things like censorship are restricted to authoritarian, populist, or right-wing parties. It's just the reasons differ. Right-wing parties will censor the internet to "stop terrorism" and "protect families and children", left-wing parties will censor the internet to "fight hate speech", but the end result is the same.
I‘m not bald but I think your view on that matter is very simplified and a bit shortsighted.

Healthy hair is a big contributor to the perceived attractiveness of a person, which in turn can have a big influence on the career success of a person (numerous studies proof that). So going bald can severely limit ones career options and/or negatively influence the currently chosen career path.
Personally, as a more drastic example, I think a bald(ing) person would have harder to become US president than the same person not bald(ing).

Also shaving your head definitely is not an option for everyone. You have to have a very well proportioned head and normal looking ears to make it look acceptable or even good.

So balding can also severely influence your perceived sexual attractiveness and limit your options for mating.

I think its not just superfluousness or as you state an "idea […] socially constructed by the mass media and advertising industry" that make a number of men who are starting to bald also getting depressed.
It might be just the realization of some of the things I stated above and/or other factors, which I would not dismiss so easily.

> - Challenge/wrestle the validity of post by staking some amount of token.

> - Whoever wins the argument takes the opponents token.

Hacker News isn't fight club, not all posts and comments are arguments seeking refutation, and there isn't a single objective "winner" or "loser" in every discussion, nor a means to judge which is which. The people who tend to see every comment as an opportunity to "score points" tend to be the worst sort for a community... attaching an economy and gamifying that would only incentivize point scoring, gambling and rules lawyering over healthy or insightful dialogue.

> - There can be a karma component as well, where in the bad actors need to pay 1.5x amount of token if they did a bad karma last time.

So I can get some bot accounts and just mass downvote or flag anyone I disagree with to make it all but impossible for them to participate in the future? Good to know, I guess.
It's a long piece, so she's probably afraid she'll forget a passage later on.
I think there's a difference between high pressure environment and experiencing anxiety and stress.

I've done months of work in a high pressure environment where my job and the company itself was on the line and experienced the same as you. For about four months I did nothing but work. I was laser focused, sharp and extremely productive. I was fine. I worked long days, did pretty much nothing else but work and sleep.

I've been looking for that kind of focus and productiveness ever since. It's like a drug.

In case you're wondering.. The company is still around. We hit our deadline and grew from three people to almost 40 since. Still there.
The only illogic is that is not having Russia to a similar degree while doing so. The point of the sanctions is to give an extra cost to their ambitions and limit the growth in power of the targetted entries.
You rest your hands above the keboard? I don’t get most of the criticism of the touch bar except if someone miss the function keys. While it’s true that you need to take your eyes of the screen to use it, the same is true when using multiple screens, and it’s what it is, an extra screen.
Crikey, the part about your father and you sounds a bit dysfunctional :( Awfully sorry to read that.
How could you commit treason against the EU? You don't owe allegiance to her, nor does any one. The EU was never as cohesive as, say, America (an entity to which she has been compared). Different nations are party to different treaties, see this graph: https://europedirectemn.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/treaties...

They very much pick and choose to which treaties they wish to agree, and retain sovereignty. There are more things than treaties that define a nation - the people, culture, history, etc. Or to grab the definition off google, "a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory." The EU does not really share those, to the extent of a proper nation.
Also, at least in my part of the US, it's become (and pardon the crudeness) just another societal dick-measuring contest.

So now it's
1. What's your job, is that good enough for Mr. Jones to judge?
2. What's your house look like, and do you have curb appeal?
3. Do you have the proper level of outrage over the latest news stories?

It's fascinating. Watching societal norms take hold. Honestly.
Remember this the next time a photographer cries about "theft" of their intellectual property on social media.
Agreed. The end result may be that Windows 8 and 10 are inconsistent UI-wise, but it's also the only reason I'm not really angry at them - because I know that if I can't do something in the new, dumb, infantilized UI, I can always do it in the traditional, pre-Windows 8 UI.
I'm really conflicted about this.

I'm a nerd. I was bullied in school.

I was also fairly small and weak and non-sporty, so I was an easy target.

I also liked to talk and especially talk back to the bullies. Who knows, I might have even "psychologically" bullied other people using my wit and intelligence (several of my classmates complained to the teacher once that I would "insult" them which came as a total shock to me... was probably true but I wasn't doing it maliciously and wasn't consciously aware the impact it had on others).

It's really hard to generalize from 1 example.
Not to add another load on your mind, but the long-term issue here is that - assuming this is a crunch that ends - you will still be heavily affected for a long time during normal, non-stress periods.

It takes a long pause from stress for you mind and body to stop over-producing stress hormones.

I hope you situation changes for the better soon, and when it does, remember to be mindfull of yourself and accept that everything won't go back to normal right away, just because the external stress-factor stops.

This is just curmudgeonliness backed by nothing at all.

You probably shouldn't do major redesigns with no real benefit to the user (I'm looking at you, reddit), but if you're adding or improving functionality, then feel free to incrementally improve your site constantly. People will get used to constant small improvements and will miss them if they stop.

Users don't hate change, they hate arbitrary change that forces them to learn how to use your site again, or that removes features they enjoy.

Can you comment on whether you evaluated Java Swing or Java FX as a cross platform UI lib for your needs? I am curious to hear others thoughts on the matter.
Fox News? No thanks.
The detail that this article misses is that the unuxpected piece has about 1 second of orchestral warning before the pianist comes in with a dramatic entrance. So Tianxu had about that long to figure out what to do, in contrast to Maria Joao Pires, who had a minute to calm her nerves before playing the wrong Mozart concerto.

Features are header only for performance. Entire libraries are rarely header only for that reason. Typically it's more for ease of consumption, but there are other major drawbacks to that approach, like having the widest possible API and ABI, making long term maintenance harder.

For instance, on some platforms system headers use preprocessor variables called "major" and "minor". If your code is in source files, you have strong control over whether you care. If your code is all in headers, your don't since all your code is affected by unrelated textual inclusions.

All true, and yet a lot of people in USSR and many other East block countries miss those times nowadays, as there were also good things about it, mainly a sense of financial and social security and also "equality" between people (yes, equality in being poor compared to West, but still very little differences in life styles for 99% of people - all kids in your school would wear the same kind of shoes and same kind of cloths, living in the same kind of apartments - there was no rich kids singling out poor ones and all that shit that you have now)

One of the things mentioned in that Plenary is that partial technical solutions embolden regulators and legislators.

It's a great idea, but companies are building products that no one wants. Here's a few ideas of products / services / suites of items I would actually buy for my home:

- Machine to completely do my dishes. End to end. It puts them from the sink to the dishwasher. Runs the dishwasher. Takes them out of the dishwasher and puts them in the cabinet. I do not care if this takes 5 hours - it can run overnight. I just don't want to think about it.

- Lets the dog out. If I can do this manually, say when I'm on vacation or something, cool. I saw a post about some dude who used facial recognition software on his cat's door flap to see if the cat was bringing in a dead rodent: it barred the cat from entering unless he dropped the rodent. That's a good start. But I don't want to hire a dog sitter. Just have siri or Alexa or whatever home assistant you have do it.

- I want automated recycling. Basically I don't want to think about organizing my garbage. Apparently there's a long list of items that can't be recycled. I honestly can't remember them all, so forcing me to do this manually is always going to result in error.

Yeah, there seems to be this contradiction here that doctors are naive or corrupt and are going to be swayed into prescribing us drugs we don't need, but also that we should be leaving it 100% up to doctors to be informed and prescribe us what we need.
It's not "curmudgeonliness", it's the real deal. And the article makes your point, but in different words.

Adding stuff itself doesn't disturb anything. But if the added stuff interferes with existing features in any way - including UI friction and performance degradation - people are gonna get angry ("badwill" will be created). Doubly so if you start removing features.

It's important point to keep repeating, because accumulation of badwill doesn't show in the telemetry, so data-obsessed companies don't get it.

Someone else mentioned the ikea shades coming out in October, so I might wait and see how those are. Potentially much cheaper, but no slatted blind effect, so the only option would be to fully raise/lower them (and deal with whatever noise that generates).
