A REPL allows you to work in real-time with the system as it's written.

It's nothing like unit testing. It's like running around in the system able to poke-prod things as you go.

Particularly important is that it doesn't mean working in a console. Most REPL-based dev is done in the source code file itself, and you send code from the document to the REPL process. Code is written in a file as usual, and you utilize the REPL to massage the system as you want.

Though it's Clojure-based, you might want to watch this talk: https://vimeo.com/223309989
I hire people who are recommended to me and I get contracted by people who recommended me. This has not changed since the first project I got (almost 30 years ago; I was recommended by my high school physics teacher). If that is not enough, then I am not very interested; it definitely tells more about me than some test. And the other way around; I have never had to fire an engineer that was recommended this way to me. They were always great to work with.

Either make your own UG or use individual W8 form for US company (reverse charge in DE, no VAT). Still, you need to have at last 20% of your income from another source if you stay a freelancer. Ideally if the US company had two legal entities and you could issue invoices to both. Most people start their own GmbH with all the increased taxes it brings.
I think Franky Zapata's development was gradual and incremental as far as I can tell. He started with the idea for the flyboard and kept thinking about what he was going to do next after he figured out the problem he was working on now.

I mean, why did the flyboard wait until 2012 to be invented? I don't know that there's a significant technical advance in it.

That's the other thing - I've seen it being completely useless for me and then my coworker does the same search and it's fine for him, or vice versa. I imagine Google builds a profile of what it thinks you'd like to see and modifies your search query accordingly.
What I've noticed is in a lot of big enterprise shops that are playing "Agile" there is a big gap in support/tooling software; that is, software that makes developers more productive by automating repetitive tasks. Since this type of software doesn't exist to management because it won't fit nicely onto a Jira board or it can't be bent to fit a specific OKR, it's the perfect type of software to explore other languages.

Go has some great 'under the hood' features, ie ones provided by its runtime, but man the language syntax makes it really annoying to take advantage of them. The sweet spot for me would be something between Go and Rust, ie a language with generics, algebraic data types, pattern matching, garbage collection, good concurrency primitives with a good work stealing scheduler.

So I'm basically asking for OCaml with multithreading.

I don't think it's stable at all, and the only reason it stays vertical is because Zapata is unbelievably skilled at piloting it. That's why everything he does is above water. I was dreading the Bastille Day thing because I figured there was about a 25% that it would turn out poetically badly.
I've heard a lot of speculation, from the vi camp, that Gosling and Stallman have RSI that emacs caused. Again, speculation. Google search for it, I can't find anything worth linking, all speculation.

I do know people who have had wrist problems and found vi more comfortable. I know when I have to type control sequences I find it painful if I do too much.

I'd say just try it and see if you find it more comfortable. Spend a couple weeks suffering through a bit less productivity and see where you are at. I did that a few years ago and am super happy with the results. In my case it was ditching some bad touch-typing habits and switching to a custom keyboard layout to optimize for my environment.

As far as Dvorak, I've heard of people typing in Dvorak but doing command-mode in qwerty. That seems crazy to me, but would definitely work. I can't imaging switching layouts that frequently in my head, but I guess once you got used to it it'd be no big deal.
I am not in the market for something like this, but one thing I noticed is that your pricing levels do not have much variation. They're $7, $8, and $9, and it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of difference in what you get between these levels.

You might consider spreading the price out a bit - 5, 10, and 15 for example? And reconsider some of the resource levels? For example there doesn't seem to be much difference between 30, 35, and 40GB secondary storage.

Good luck with your project, your landing page sure looks nice!

A lot of good that accountability did Kim Dotcom, or the brown-skinned people being blown up by drones, or the hundred thousand civilians killed in Iraq after America brought about regime change. Over the past century America has interfered far more in other countries' affairs than China ever has. A cynical way of putting it: China's government oppresses its own people, America's government oppresses everybody but its own people. As someone neither American nor Chinese I feel China's far less likely to come along and bother me when I'm minding my own business than America is.

You should not do infrastructure as IDIQ, this is an infrastructure contract. The idea that all contracts issued by IT are for "IT Services" is part of the reason digital systems at the DOD and other government agencies are such a nightmare. HAving a single system to build off of is the best way to do it, and not having that system be a customer solution for just the government is way better then not.

Lock in is the only concern, but from my experience doing an IDIQ or multi-vendor won't solve the lock in problem. The best thing to solve that is to make sure your using bland normal things not customer government thigs.

This is really the source of it. The jokes and memes have power because the underlying facts are unmentionable in polite company and go unanswered. Even here you just get downvoted. The fact that they go unanswered and that there is an instinct to bury them or censor them (you have been downvoted without a response btw) instead is even more ominous than the supposed "hate" they are attributed to. One starts to suspect that there is no answer and suppression and censorship is the only remaining option for society, which of course emboldens the heretics and gives them a moral justification - exposing the truth.

You could correct errors using correction tape: basically pressed dry white-out atop the letter, assuming you lined it up correctly and pressed the same letter - you then type the correct letter. Of course for an important document like a resume you may want to retype the whole thing.

Also it wasn’t really a “printout” since you saw each letter as you typed it.
I'm sure there's a good study out there on the impact of social media on social connectedness, and I'm guessing it's a negative correlation. People seem to be using social media as an alternative for real social interaction, which increases rewards (more eyeballs) and decreases consequences (no "real" friends; can always find a community to approve of you).

I'm not sure what the solution here is, but I'm worried that we'll trample our rights in attempting to solve the problem without actually solving it.

I think it should always be mentioned when people call java fat, that the core language is usually fast enough. What makes java "fat" is the mentality of "Frameworks".

For me, Go seems like java, but without the fucking frameworks.
I'm glad you mentioned the caveats with IDIQ contracts. I would say that the IDIQ process rarely, if ever, results in savings. (In fact, if you have some examples where it did I know some people who would be interested in studying those cases.)

The history of IDIQ processes is likely a large part of the reason people were anxious to do something different in this instance. Now that it's all politics, it'll probably cost more and function less when all is said and done.

Some aspects of the military, I don't really miss.
This is a pretty un-charitable/misleading reading of the original Tweet. The journalist in question did not say that CloudFlare was responsible for the shooting (that would be a pretty outrageous claim), but that 8chan is able to still exist, in part, due to the fact that they are a CloudFlare customer. Two fundamentally different things.

That being said, the wording that 8chan "receives protection" from CF is also a bit misleading, because it's not a gift from CF, but a service the admins presumably pay for.

I don't think CF should be receiving the blame for this incident at all - DDOS protection isn't what's hosting hateful content, letting it sit and fester unmoderated, letting terrorists get their hands on high-powered weapons, sitting in Congress avoiding taking any actual action, etc.

While I do think that "hacking" is less demonized than it was circa "Hackers", it is not surprising that the attitude around a lawsuit is a little outdated.

Essentially countries that are causing climate are the industrialised world (obv.). Countries that are vital to stopping climate change because they have huge green areas, ie Brasil, are actually being heavily impacted by climate change and now they are being climateblamed by the first world for chopping down their forests for productive activities. Well if the first world wants the forest to stay they ought to pay for it.
They also ought to drastically reduce their carbon emissions.

It’s funny how the same citizen of the same countries who are not doing their share of reducing emissions (US) are claiming in the same breath that Brasil should be punished for destroying a forest the West is desperate to protect. Well then protect it - tax your corporations for carbon emissions and buy up the amazon to protect it. Simple.

Yeah. Men are still, to a huge extent, discouraged from sharing and expressing their emotions as much as women (since that behavior is seen as inherently feminine). People still make fun of guys for crying and other healthy ways of expressing distress. The "strong silent type" still seems to be many people's masculine ideal. This is exacerbated on hate-filled sites like 4chan and 8chan, where guys who express feelings nonviolently are regularly mocked as "soyboys" or whatever; putting that sort of rhetoric alongside racist propaganda is, as other people have commented, an effective way to promote racial resentment and, in turn, violent outbursts.

The problem of discouraging men from expressing their emotions nonviolently is definitely not confined to these boards, however. I see tons of characters in media and people in real life who model the idea that anger or violence, while bad, are understandable ways for a man to express feelings (the same sentiment for women is much rarer). It might be bad that a man did something violent, but it doesn't undermine his very identity by eroding his masculinity in the same way that weeping and sobbing and being sensitive might.

I can't count the number of times I saw guys punching walls in movies growing up, often in circumstances where their characters were really feeling sad or hopeless or hurt. Women in movies under the same circumstances would often cry or be consoled. Or to put it another way, in a movie scene with a man and woman under extreme stress in a room together, I've never seen the woman punching holes in her own walls while the man sits on the bed crying. There are tons of other examples of stress reactions that are usually modeled in media along gender lines in this same way.

I think this stuff is self-fulfilling. Guys are discouraged from acknowledging difficult feelings except through stoicism or anger, and in turn people continue to associate that behavior with guys. When men on 8chan start buying into racist ideology and feeling like they can only express their distress through anger and violence, it seems inevitable that things like shootings will follow. The copycat effect with shootings that already happened only encourages it (see how this shooter cited the NZ shooter as inspiration).

I think things are improving, but I think that until guys are trained to express a full spectrum of emotions openly and without shame, and people in general are acclimated to supporting and validating men's feelings, it's going to keep encouraging this sort of snapping behavior.

If there was a public transport system with SWIFT coverage, I believe most ppl would be happy.

> The lawsuit said GitHub had an obligation under California law and industry standards to keep off or remove the Social Security numbers and personal information from its site. The plaintiffs believe that because Social Security numbers had a fixed format, GitHub should have been able to identify and remove this data

> The lawsuit alleges that by allowing the hacker to store information on its servers, GitHub violated the federal Wiretap Act.

> The lawsuit also makes a bold claim that "GitHub actively encourages (at least) friendly hacking." It then links to a GitHub repository named "Awesome Hacking." ... not associated with GitHub staff or management, but owned by a user who registered on the platform

This lawsuit is a natural extension of the calls for internet platforms to better police and accept liability for the content they are hosting. These complaints are usually directed towards the big corporations like Google, Facebook and Amazon. But if the rationale is accepted, it will need to be applied universally to startups and SMBs as well. As someone who thinks the world will be a far better place if we had decentralized dumb platforms, as opposed to very centralized platforms with heavy-handed top-down censorship and moderation, I sure hope this movement is turned back.

The "Duty" vs "Right" thing is ancient. You can see the earliest form of this "duties" concept underpinning the all the abrahamic religions, even in all salvation-oriented religions. You have a duty ultimately to the "godhead", from which all other duties derive.

The concept of universal rights was the refinement of this and only fully emerged during the enlightenment era in Europe. But it was there in a less explicit, more rudimentary form in classical Greece, too.

It's a choice, really. What kind of world do you want to live in? A world where we recognize basic human rights as x-y-z (from which we can determine what duties we have toward each other, for sure) Or a world that we left behind for very good reasons.

> 1. How did publishers like Elsevier get started?

I think people are answering this question as if it were about scientific publishers in general. They were just respected magazines, often published by scientific membership societies.

Elsevier specifically was a publisher that just gobbled as many of them that it could up until it got to a monopoly or near-monopoly position by specialization (meaning that it could own every important journal is some professions, and most of them in others.) Then it jacked up the prices infinitely, and their competitors took the signal and jacked up their prices too. Now, some major universities are defecting, which is actually a signal that the pricing is just about perfect for the market.

It's just the same old boring operations of capitalism. This is exactly how pharma, or the music business works.
If you think it’s the company’s loss you are totally missing the point. Due to our economic system and incentives a LOT of companies have gotten “Bill Gates Caliber” people and it’s certainly not the HR or companies loss it’s the worlds and people living in its loss.
