The reason it's a noob trap isn't that the two operations should be separate.

The issue is that "-b" (mnemonic for "branch") in no way suggests that it creates a new branch. Since checkout does so many different things, it would be reasonable to guess that -b limits the command to perform the "branch" action (i.e. switch to a branch). Git-switch doesn't have this issue.

Ask HN: Should I learn C++ in 2019?
That’s why one person stands in a paper grocery bag.
Fair, I know I am digging a bit of a hole. Partly I am interested in the semantics and partly it is the first time that I have encountered people being particularly pissed off by the concept. Most people I have described it to in the past seemed to find it either funny or useful, so I was surprised by the pushback. I mean, you can say fuck on here and nobody gives a damn, hell, you can name an entire language brainfuck and everybody claps, but this use of language is way out and I am interested in why. I figured that if I dug a little deeper on an already flagged thread, it would not cause any particular harm. Anyone discussing this with me from then on in, is doing so after delving into something clearly marked with 'here be dragons'.
> If you've got a compelling reason to use a given language in production, you probably don't have to trick your co-workers into doing anything, you just have a conversation with them!

Nothing in the article suggests that conversation didn't happen. The only mention of "tricked" is the headline the submitter gave it on HN.

>Also, I don't think that engineers are necessarily interested in proof,

Depends on the area the engineer works in. Starting from some cost of failure you actually want a proper proof, because the inherent chance of error in incomplete induction becomes unacceptable.

>Because if the logic is sound and something is true in the model,

You can perfectly formalize this model using dependent types and use it there, don't you?

> So the reality is that we have no idea how to verify programs that aren't tiny

Yeah, I know, our brains are to small to properly verify everything, and we need to find ways to outsource as much as possible to machines.

Doesn't mean we need to willfully embrace blind faith in incomplete induction.

A few years ago I downloaded several hundreds of megabytes of Japanese subtitles, split into 3 categories: live action/drama, anime and foreign film/tv

I’ve listed them in a google sheets together with a few other corpora

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yb5dq4ahdwc_g0aQTL3Y...

Choose the jimaku tab for subtitles to see how big the variation between corpus can be.

According to other comments here, it appears that OP list is based on a newspaper corpus from 1993.
Axioms:

-The most important quality to succeeds is the ability to perform in high stakes, inter-personal, coopetitive, status-seeking, small world games (politics).

-One of the most powerful tools to achieve results for an individual (and for a group ) is through the mastering of abstractions.

Puzzle:

-There seems to be a negative correlation between the willingness to engage in political games and the willingness to engage with abstractions despite the advantages both procure. (see the "Nerds" essay by Paul Graham [0]).

Funny hypothesis:

-Politics is the most dynamic, reflexive games there is. Abstraction handling requires (whether consciously or not ) to substract oneself from the world. Those two activities tend to exclude each other, or to consume a lot of energy when both running at full speed.
( they are polar opposite in 2x2 quadrant of [static,dynamic]x[contemplative,reflexive] )

-The silver linings is so much value can be created from mastering abstractions, that a small change in the conditions
of the political field (by improving one's attention to it, or by limiting artificially the field like in a elite school)
is enough to tip the balance.

There’s Nothing Clickable About the Color Red (2016)
Oh, I don't think it's an easy problem. It's just that there's a lot of research that is just begging for some good engineering to turn it into an actual application. The effort wouldn't be trivial and the result would not be fully automated- it would still require a lot of input and much tweaking from software devs. The developers' work would change from writing code to providing examples or coding specifications and then correcting or extending automatically generated programs, so you 'd still need actual programmers who actually understand programming to do all this. Personally, I don't find that a bad thing. I like coding and I wouldn't hasten to remove so many peoples' source of income (and source of pride in their work, also).

So perhaps my bad for using the turn of phrase "at the push of a button"- it suggests more automation than what I have in mind.

When I'm done with my PhD I might even consider launching a product :)
Though you can do ALOT with Wordpress and Woocommerce, the Wordpress "framework" just feels icky. Not to mention that WordPress is a beast and can slow down considerably with only a few people in the admin area.

That said we use a Rails admin backend to mange all aspects of the stock and categories. We sync up to Woocommerce with the API and ActiveJob.

This really isn't anything ground breaking, it's using the right tools for the right areas to bring things together.

That's no keybind though. The keybind for fullscreen is Control-Command-F as per [1]. On Firefox, I use Tree Tab Style and in order to hide the tabs, I need to also hide the top bar with the 3 top left window management symbols. Forced me to learn the shortcut (Cmd+H is another one I regularly use, to hide current application).

We should assume the user also is able to utilize multitouch gestures on TrackPad.

Fullscreen applications work very well with 3 finger swipe up which yields all windows and desktops, or 3 finger swipe down which allows further interaction to select the top window. Triple swipe left and right switch to current desktop minus or plus one. If you're going to run a VM, you will need these gestures.

Nothing in Linux land beats these gestures nor the Apple Magic Trackpads, IMO. I've been trying to get my Apple Magic TrackPad 2 to work on Linux. With multitouch. It works, but not as good as on macOS (tried with Libinput 1.13, not 1.14 yet).

You can use Cmd+` to swap between application windows. Nice boss key.

I found two third party apps which potentially fix your issue: Witch and HyperSwitch.

> and then use alt tab to switch windows it takes like 400ms to transition with some animation, and I can't disable it.

I didn't find a way to fix this. It does not bother me, as it is easy on the eyes, but I understand your concern. I also agree it is annoying that we need third party applications to fix these use cases but it does go with the minimalism theme. You could regard Gnome Tweaks as the same problem. And there's more third party applications I wouldn't want to live without such as Bartender.

> I also really dislike that I can't alt-click+drag to resize or move windows like I can in linux.

For resizing or dragging you can do this with the titlebar. I'd use one of these third-party applications like Spectacle or Amethyst to manage windows. I agree its a loss this isn't native. (I suppose Hyperdock provides this functionality?)

Depends what you want to do. I love writing C/C++ still and it still drives the majority of things you interact with daily, especially low level systems. People argue that all the time, but almost every device you touch has a micro controller today and almost all of those are using C or C++. Even large complex systems still use C or C++ as a primary toolset still to this day.

My 2 cents, if you get out of the echo chamber of SV and tech startups C/C++ are still very much alive and in many cases growing in usage. Inside SV and tech startups C/C++ are both treated like the elderly family member people just put up with but dismiss, when in reality that person has a shit ton of knowledge everyone could learn from.

Ask HN: Hackable external wireless SSD storage?
I've been looking at the Western Digital My Passport SSD Wireless devices with the idea of setting this up for a client for local server backup.

I already have the client setup for backup to remote storage (rsync.net) but for redundancy and speedier access in the case of an emergency I would like them to have access to a local backup. However, through prior experience, I've learned that if any effort is required then eventually good practice stops.

So my thought is to have a small box that the user takes home (to avoid loss due to fire or other catastrophe at the office) and then at least once a week brings in to the office for the day and then takes home again. The 'box' would automatically connect to the local wireless network and would be able to use something like rsync and would have access to the server necessary to make a full backup hopefully before the user leaves for the day. I'm thinking SSD is a better choice than a spinning disk for reliability while being carried around regularly.

A little research on the Western Digital wireless storage devices suggests linux is running underneath and that it is possible to enable SSH, login as root, and start hacking.

I guess my question is has anyone here actually done that and can you provide any additional details? As far as I can tell this is not something that is officially supported by Western Digital.

Alternatively is anyone aware of a similar device (mostly closed box, rechargable internal battery, wireless accessible) that either has internal SSD storage or into which an SD card can be installed that also has a *nix filesystem underneath?

Access to a solid ZFS implementation would be a plus.
The grade argument is debatable. Yes, if you want a bonafide, completely authentic as in France croissant it is less easily obtained (sidenote -- there are makers who do make the higher fat, lower water butter, but there is very little demand), but if a maker is choosing between a imperceptibly different Canadian standard butter and margarine (the former indistinguishable, the latter a vile abomination), and you think that minuscule difference is the reason, you are misled.

Further it isn't expensive. Large quantity butters purchases, including special higher fat versions that aren't generally on grocery stores, are an insubstantial percentage of the cost of making a croissant.

https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/canadian-croissant-...

But again, the reason croissants are generally horrendous in Canada is because people just don't care. If people don't care you end up with the weird bready-things that are marketed as croissants. This is a bit of a personal peeve having just gotten back from Belgium/France a couple of months ago, and being spoiled by every hotel having extremely good croissants.

The debate over supply management is revisited at every election, and overwhelmingly Canadians buy into the notion that supply management has benefits in certain industries.

As an aside -- it's cheaper to buy milk and butter in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and virtually every other urban center in Canada than in San Francisco, NYC, LA, or any other large US center. US dairy dumps their excess on secondary markets like Detroit, and it's always the "Windsor versus Detroit" sort of comparison that we hear parroted.

This is silly.

FTP is an awful protocol and there are other perfectly fungible open standard replacements for it, like HTTP/HTTPS. FTP dates from the era before NAT and firewalls and makes a bunch of problematic design choices, like having the server establish a separate port connection to the client (or vice versa, for passive mode) to transfer the file. It's super chatty, requiring multiple waits for response, and therefore slow. There's no length check, so if your socket gets closed you silently save a half-finished file.

FTP should just die off.

I really wanted to code my own side projects in my spare time. I always have so much ideas that I become anxious when will I have time for them all.

But during my spare time, which I would like to designate to my own projects, life kicks in. Something breaks, an old friend is back in town, I don't feel well, there is a recipe I want to try or my girlfriend and I want to have a day outdoors because we didn't have enough quality time together during the week. Then Sunday evening comes and I become sad because I'm far behind my own plans.

But the most important thing I was missing is thet I actually enjoy stuff beyond coding. I was so concentrated on it that I stopped being thankful for all of the detours that make my life complete and meaningful. Tonight I'm going to change the mixer tap at my folks home, and I'm glad I'll make them happy and life a bit more comfortable. My buddy is back, so latter were going out for drinks, we're gonna have a ball. And I actually love those things, it's refreshing. Yes I would like to brush up on some fresher skills or try out the latest AWS Blazefeather. And I will eventually. But I realized that other stuff in life makes me also a calm and enjoyable person, and personality and temper is also a part of an engineers value.
Wind power prices now lower than the cost of natural gas
Eh, kind of. If buyer A is trying to obfuscate transmitting $100 to the seller, and the painting would normally sell at auction for $7, then somehow buyer A needs to boost the auction sale price up to $107.

I’m not saying that it can’t be done - just that for the paintings that do sell for over a hundred million dollars, there usually really are people and organizations at the auctions who believe the paintings are worth that much.

The TL;DR: is that, while the `std::future::Future` trait is generic, the actual type that implements this trait is often tied to a particular executor.

> And executors don't need to know these details, they just need to call poll at the right time, and in accordance with their wakers.

Is this true? Essentially this is claiming that an executor does not need to use mio (epoll/kqueue/...) to be able to execute futures that do async network i/o.

So who uses mio? Would each type implementing the Future trait use mio internally as a private detail? That is, using two such future types, would they maintain multiple independent kqueues and the executor isn't able to put them both in one?
