That was exactly how it worked in the US until about 20 years ago. But then stations started to require prepayment because there were a number of people skipping that important final step.
In my experience it is common when talking with people that invest in individual stocks--either personally or professionally.
As someone who spent a lot of time learning kanji alone, there's not much you can do with kanji alone. It's a helpful step in learning actual words, learning strokes, finding patterns, but I'd be skeptical of the utility of this list.

If you're going to rote memorize something, I'd probably start with the radicals.

It's not even just disabled people. I frequently take both of my kids to the bathroom at the same time. This is super common for families with small kids.
While I don't think the OP meant 24/7, I think the point remains that coding outside working hours is a choice borne purely out of personal interest. Having this interest is fine - maybe it makes you a better programmer or maybe it does not. Not having this interest is _also_ fine - and saying that people who don't have it are unfit to be in the field is just sitting on a high horse and looking down at others.

Isn't this a good thing?

Understanding the inner workings of computers is not a fundamental good. Solving problems and achieving one's goals are the important thing. If people can use computers to solve problems better today but they don't understand how bootloaders work then I think that is a good trade off.
On the server, the emails are all encrypted like say passwords? Or are they stored as text?
I never considered Chrome the gold standard. They advanced the state of the art with their sandbox model and their performance advantage, but they are losing the advantage in the former and lost it in the latter. It was always painfully obvious (to me) that it's an extremely bad idea to trust an ad megacorporation with building a browser.

> Also, consider that if Democrats gain control of the Senate in 2020, they can pass this easily

Yes, they can, which should really get people thinking if they don’t. Republicans don’t care about this stuff and readily admit it, but Democrats seem to only care a lot if they don’t have power to do anything. Once they are in control, this kind of heavy impact bills don’t get passed either, and best we get is something like plastic straw ban.
Any time you spend money , you generate green house gases so I fail too see how this bill can mitigate green house gas production.
But even this is odd to me.

Programming seems to be the easy part. The hard (and stimulating part) is everything around that. If somebody says that they work in Haskell but doesn't say what they are working on then I'll just be confused.

To me, it is like selling a company based on where you put the curly braces (a slight exaggeration here).
pcj much?
I think the term "power users" is not appropriate. I believe we're encountering some kind of "curse of multidimensionality" problem here: every time Google adds a feature, they add one dimension to the space of utility of their product. And every time they remove a feature, they reduce the relative volume of people who still find the product useful. So it's not "power users" in general, but "power users of feature X". There are not the power users who use all the advanced features on one side, and the regular users who use none on the other. The more features you add or cut, the more each of those categories tend to zero. Actual users are somewhere in between, and if you optimize against "power users" you in fact optimize against your users in general.
No not really, I'm totally in favour of people having the right to say what goes on in their property, I'm just concerned that so bloody much of our public property is now just pseudo-public privately owned, and the homeless have absolutely nowhere to go anymore. I can sympathize with both parties here, but I have more sympathy for the homeless.
I have a one year old baby. I can already know with 100% certainty when she is crying, and most of the time it's quite clear what she wants.

I don't buy that for the bathroom doors. All you need is a tiny section that overlaps. You can even buy cheap plastic flaps to retro fit.
Yeah. I quite enjoy programming, and I'm quite good at it; as a result I quite enjoy my job and I get paid quite a lot. I'm very lucky!

And to help protect that, I carefully limit the amount of programming I do outside of work hours. The last thing I want is to burn out and stop enjoying my job! And also, there's an enormous number of enjoyable things in life (family, friends, crafts, etc.). Diversifying my hobbies is win/win.

I don't judge people who focus purely on programming, but I do suspect that they may find their views change over time.
This is ironic as imap was designed specifically for mobile and remote machines.

The definition of those terms is quite different of course today, so my statement isn’t meant to contradict yours. I doubt Mark ever saw a laptop, at least when working with imap. Imap was a real step forward at the time.

Genetics happens to be my field and...yeah. IQ is just too far removed from an actual mechanistic explanation ("gene X does this which interacts which gene Y whose coding protein triggers a cascade onto receptor Z of the brain which...") and for a geneticist if you haven't got a mechanism you've got nothing. There are far more interesting, solid and construct-valid traits to study.

As for neurosci I'll admit it's second-hand knowledge from my social circle and colleagues, though it could be that I live in a bubble and neuroscientists are secretly terrorized to share their mindbreaking findings on the first component of a PCA.

>if nothing else, it measures your ability to take IQ tests, and IQ score has some correlation to “success” in western culture (note i’m not saying “intelligence” anywhere here).

This is circular, since many of the required tests to be "successful" are similar to IQ tests or "g-loaded" as people like to say. Even then, the correlation is weak beyond very low IQs.
Most of the time we are programmed by the device itself. That is to say, we should program a PC instead of having it dictate our day and tell us what to do. An email inbox for example is nothing more than a todo list created by someone else and apparently we have to check each item off and reach the mythical 'inbox zero'.

Then we have the browser where news comes at us randomly and we have 100 tabs open but no idea how or where those tabs come from - they are an example of how unorganized our thoughts are when we use the web. There's no curation, no attempt to organize information, because apparently its done already for us in the form of Google and other crawlers.
It takes 1 minute of googling and 15 minutes of waiting to install a lean and clean compiler on any of the 3 major OSes.

If this is enough to deter the glory days of computing, then just imagine having to deal with your first syntax error.
1 The prospect of a default will tend to align incentives across all debt-holders.

It fluctuates for me, which I think is normal. I enjoy programming a lot - it was a hobby before a profession. I enjoy learning programming languages and puzzling things out.

But sometimes I don't want to code at home - I have other hobbies, a wife, friends, .. that I'd rather do something with. But I do find that after a certain time I'll miss programming for fun.

It used to bother me when I lost motivation to work on side-projects or to learn new things. But after losing and regaining the motivation often enough, I now figure it's just a cyclical thing. I might be on a day out with my wife and suddenly think of something I want to learn and continue spending several weeks learning or building it. Only to find myself without a project again for several weeks and enjoying going to the movies, gaming, citytrips...

The only thing which I do believe is that if you have absolutely no interest in learning new things - in your own time or in paid time - it's going to be hard to keep up with the evolving industry. But I could be wrong, we still have the cobol cowboys... :)
Yes... but another advantage here of lime over Portland cement is that the cooking of the limestone doesn’t require as much heat as the cooking of Portland cement. It won’t be carbon neutral, but it is a big improvement.
But the disparity in quality is truly a problem they struggle with. Their stated goal isn't their core competency. Volume is their competency, not quality.

For example, they can't even use a lot of their own materials in aerospace because they have no tracability. That's why nobody builds airplanes in China. If Airbus or Boeing could get a reliable part out of China instead of the US they would love to ship they can save money, but that's not possible and no country would let that plane in their airspace. Probably not even China.

China knows this and buys their quality products from elsewhere. It's not cost effective enough yet for them to change that strategy.

We are changing that for them.
My point was more about hostile architecture in general. I was trying to point out that the homeless have very few places to go - can't even shelter in a filthy public toilet. Anyone desperate enough to try has been stomped on enough without adding salt to the wound.

The better solution is to try and fix the underlying cause rather than hiding the symptoms.
Lesson I take: even the worst catastrophes are a source of profit. Concrete making is one of the worst CO2 emitting industries, and is killing us. Sand was lacking, but despair not: we can go on thanks to melting ice! The Titanic is sinking but, hey, look, a new crate of champagne! What's not to love?

Really, it's upsetting. I'm desperate.
The person you're arguing with NEVER said that they approve of the US healthcare system. It seems weird to me that you keep bringing that up, since it is unrelated to the economics and politics of subsidized corn farming.

And for the record, the person you're arguing with is also correct that food security is a major national security concern for every nation. No sane country with any alternatives thinks "Oh, we can just not have agriculture and just buy our country's food on the market instead."
>It is perfectly OK to only code at work, you can have a life too

That short life-affirming quote structured like a pithy aphorism is hiding the true debate that motivates it.

The real discussion before that quote is this:

Some employers prefer programmers that like programming outside of work. For the other programmers that would rather constrain coding work to 40 hours a week, they feel that employer preference is unfair.

So yes, of course it's fine to want to do non-coding activities outside of work... but that's not what the real frustration is about.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to prevent some employers for preferring coders who code outside of work. It's been that way for decades. On the other hand, some employers don't care about personal coding projects so that culture may be a better fit.
These articles ALWAYS fail to mention the impossibility to run a country on 100% wind energy (Or solar) It might be cheap(er) per MW to run solar but it can only supply that 20% slice on the middle of the day, when power usage is at its minimum. Same with wind energy, they can only supply the tiny slice around the evening or morning. after that the power supplied by them is oppertunistic. You would still need to build gas, coal or nuclear to catch all power lost when the wind is low or when it is too cloudy.

The article fails to mention another simple problem with most states that have good places for wind turbines. They usually have hydrolectric power plants which already can supply all green energy they want at all times of the day and year. Hard to then reccommend investing in wind turbines which need to be backed up with 'expensive' gas or nuclear.
This is key! It echoes my comment elsewhere in the thread quite well. Being flexible is important. You'll just end up depressing yourself if you'll force yourself to write code in your free time even when you don't want to. (Been there, done that).

mio is useful when you’re writing an application that runs on windows/Linux/Mac. But you can use futures on any platform, including embedded ones. Those would be coded against whatever API the system offers. There’s an embedded executor, for example.

Tokio uses mio to implement its futures that do async IO, so if you use Tokio, you use mio. You don’t have to use Tokio, though it is the most popular and most battle tested.

Many futures don’t do IO directly; for example, all of the combinator futures. Libraries can be written to be agnostic to the underlying IO, only using the AsyncRead/AsyncWrite traits, for example.
No it won't because by entering the facilities you agree to the EULA in which you give up those rights.
> The confusion is about a word that I didn't use.

which word?

> I said that both subroutines "terminate". That is a word with a precise meaning in computation

I'd say so. But here's a clip from previous:

> zopa 23 hours ago :- How is `foo` "clearly terminating"? With `p = const False`' it's undefined for any even x >= 3.

-and you say-

> pron 23 hours ago :- It would terminate with an exception.

So you're claiming that 'terminating with an exception' is termination "with a precise meaning in computation". But that's a bloody strange definition I have never come across.

In fact it's so weird I had trouble finding a definition because it seems so fundamentally bizarre that nobody I've ever met has ever considered throwing an exception (or similar) due to precondition violation to be termination. But here goes:

1943: In a paper, Stephen Kleene states that "In setting up a complete algorithmic theory, what we do is describe a procedure ... which procedure necessarily terminates and in such manner that from the outcome we can read a definite answer, 'Yes' or 'No,' to the question, 'Is the predicate value true?'."

That from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

So yes termination is defined and no it's not what you claim it is. No wonder people are getting confused.

As a German owning a house in the Pacific Northwest: it's true, American homes are flimsier. At least in rainy climate the outside needs constant upkeep. You need to paint and caulk every few years. I frequently hear from people discovering dry rot in their homes. Stuff like this never happens to my parents concrete home build in the 80s in comparable climate in Germany and hasn't happened (yet) to the 300 year old timbered home we remodeled in the early 00s mostly following traditional building methods. Even oak beams, clay brigs and lime paint seem to hold up better than US homes.

Where we are at in the US is that TODAY dozens of right-wing, White-supremacist supporters of the president have traveled to a town they believe is not supportive enough of his politics and have openly declared that they are going to assault people on the streets, and the President has responded by offering an oblique blessing. There’s no such thing as bipartisan.

> hash table keys that appear multiple times, instead of being in error, instead overwrite each other

I don't think that's true. The behavior with multiple keys is not defined. A JSON reader can choose to do whatever it wants (error, use first, use last, use all, etc). An interoperable JSON writer should never output duplicate keys.
I’m guessing this would run afoul of anti-springtrap laws in the US.

I used to use android and I had my voice assistant turned off. When I switched to iPhone and enabled Siri, it was because I thought Apple was different.

This recent news has made me feel a little gross. A voice assistant has negative value to me if I can’t completely trust it. Last year there were literally tech news pieces about how Siri data stays on your iPhone, which was obviously an unconfirmed rumour that journalists bought into

I find some employers try to restrict your outside of work coding with agreements not to work for anyone else during the employment period. Some demand ip for any projects.

I feel like I have to sneak around when coding after work.

Business model canvas is the best I've seen for this. It's designed to be really easy to iterate, and identify what parts link to other parts.

If you're writing for engineers, it's still similar - what is the problem and how does this solve it?

I've done a few startups, and so far we've never really needed a technical product spec to hit project market fit. Partly because it's usually far better than the competition, e.g. a native app with lots of features vs a static competitor app built in phonegap.

Partly because it's intuitive but hard to put into words. We had a health recipe app. One of the most used features was a BMI calculator. I couldn't explain why we needed it, but it was half an hour to build (with unit tests!) and a chat with one customer said she had our app and the competitor's app because the competitor app had a BMI calculator. It would literally take less time to build it than write a spec for it.

The other questionable feature was a dodgy in app chat. It wasn't live, more like a single thread message board. Customers loved it and it provided most of our feedback. We ended up branching some WhatsApp groups from it instead of building a full thing. Part of the reason is that people use a healthy recipe app to commit to losing weight, and they wanted some company. Especially those who had unsupportive husbands and family. Or those who didn't know where to start.

So to reinforce, you have an idea of what the problem is, and what it looks like when it's solved. You should also have a feedback funnel early on to see how you're doing, though this more face to face with customers rather than an engineering thing.
In order to use Messages, you need to have an iPhone (which you need to buy from the same vendor who wants you to use and owns Messages). WhatsApp is just an app.

I'm unsure of what do you mean when you say you see the same "vendor lock-in" in both cases.
