Yes, I have the feeling that people from India are very work/success-oriented.

Here in Germany it's the same, but somehow we manage a bit better to don't over burden our children.

No, it wasn't that. It's https://wowana.me/blog/the-grey-area-of-paedophilia.xht probably.
> As a developer, I spend almost 80% of the time in my terminal

In which case then sure, pretty much anything will suit you fine. It's not a universal rule though - I spend the vast majority of my time in TextMate or an IDE and probably 10% of time in my terminal, so the comfort of the Mac UI is a more significant factor.
According to the article, because teaching them together negates the effects. Phonics seem difficult at first, and given an easier option, the children wouldn't develop this, leading to losing this ability.
I value free time even more than a meaningful job because I can spend my free time doing anything I want.

How much money would you pay to free up 50% of your time? I decided that was worth $70k, going from a $100k job to a $30k job while working on a beach.

I have friends my age trying to retire early which means they spent their 20s and now onto their 30s working their ass off which aren't the years I'd be so eager to throw away at work.
Heh, I know the feeling!

But then again, you say stuff about how romans vs germanic meat eating, but I don't see any citations for that. They'd be helpful.
I'm not as convinced as you are that people will simply converge to the better alternative. Sheer inertia from npm activity and accumulated GitHub stars can disadvantage new, better options from gaining traction because it's not easy for developers to take a risk on a new project that could be abandoned at any time, and because they have to be pretty comfortable with the technology to confidently decide that the current crowd wisdom is wrong - something that may not be the case if the developer is working outside of their area of expertise. standard/standard is particularly interesting because someone who's not completely in their element could easily see

"devDependencies": {
"standard": "*"
}

in a package.json or

npm install standard

in a script, either online or in another project at work, and copy it into a new project along with the rest of the boilerplate common packages they need, not realizing what they've signed up for. This would create the appearance of continuing growth and support for the package even though these users are totally oblivious. It's not clear to me that, with that kind of tailwind, an objectively inferior package couldn't continue to be ubiquitous and never be "converged" out of relevance.

Still, I have to agree that the view you describe is a plausible one. If Feross does indeed think that way - which I have no reason to doubt - then that means that he's acting at least in better faith than some are giving him credit for.
Exactly. I did the built in tutorial and read a bunch of online info on Vim but never really grokked it for years until I decided to really focus on it for a while. There are a few concepts like talking to Vim like a person (which I included in the free portion of the course) that really helped it click for me.

There's a ton of free info on Vim around and it's perfectly viable to learn it on your own that way, it will just take a lot longer. Obviously I'm biased, since I made Vim Valley to be exactly what I think is the fastest and most enjoyable way to learn Vim.
In 2019 you still cannot get a decent macOS-like modifier key setup on Linux where OS-keys are mapped to Super (e.g. Super-C being copy) and such that Control works like it does on macOS, so I still always find these kinds of articles nice but you're in for lots of surprises if you try to switch.

And I say this as someone with both macOS and Linux laptops that I work from, but because of the above and other similar things I think you're always up for disappointment if you expect to get Linux to be exactly like macOS.
> These structural problems also need taking care of but until then the people who write such software need to be more careful to limit the impact of errors they make.

"People who write such software" are probably some developers who either deliver before deadline or get fired. Who knows, maybe they are even the future versions of the students - struggling to support their families.

I don't think it's realistic to expect they can shoulder the responsibility for ethics in developing software. Something needs to exert pressure at businesses not to deliver crappy software. Unions? The law? I don't know, but not individual developers.
That's (again, in my opinion) a really depressing and defeatist way to look at things, and at worst, a poetic way of saying "fuck you I got mine".
Limited resources and a huge population means that everyone has to compete very hard to grab those limited medical, engineering, or civil services' admissions that have long been considered to be a ticket to a better life.

That is changing now though. India now is much more bold than it was 20 years ago. More and more young people are taking the unconventional path and creating their own startups. But most of the country still has a long way to go to overcome this problem of high-pressure high-competition culture.
I suggest you try out Sway, which is pretty much i3 for Wayland. Also, Arch Linux has some great documentation for setting up things like screenshots. You'll have to get used to the flags for forcing xcb for a few Qt applications though, but totally worth it and not difficult at all once you understand it. I do miss rofi though, but am waiting for a Wayland version or the next best thing.
The question is posed because according to the article, the verdict is that the border patrol is allowed to perform _manual_ searches of electronic devices, just not forensic searches, even without reasonable suspicion, in pursuit of finding "digital contraband". A term which is notably ill defined and which the EFF would like to see limited to just CP, to clarify.

It's probably worth noting that since the search is still _allowed_, information can still be divulged from devices and then used as the basis for a parallel investigation (I believe), provided that information isn't used as evidence. So it doesn't sound like much is practically different, so much as technically legally different - slightly more hoops must be jumped through to convict based on arbitrary device searches, is all.
Thanks for sharing. I'll try to write an equivalent code using Rust for learning purposes. Since it has algebraic datatypes too, it should be fine.
Article misses an important point: what is the latest date it definitely wasn't there? There's nothing in the article that makes it more recent than 1928.
I am already aware of that, but why should I have to for basic features? If you need reviews for products, you will need an app developed by Shopify (but for some reason not integrated into their main product - what the hell?) which doesn't interoperate properly with any multi-language app (again, which shouldn't even be an app, as multi-language is a core part of many e-commerce applications) since it generates HTML server-side with embedded texts and returns it as JSONP. Another example is getting orders in a printable format. You need an app for something that could probably be done in 100 lines or less on the Shopify admin's backend. Don't get me started on multi-currency support which you can't even do with an app and need to rewire your entire checkout process to a third party system for. It's an agonizing mess.

I disagree with this. Here’s what Kipling has to say about colonialism:

“ Take up the White Man's burden —
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.”

Have they (the colonized) profited from colonization? This mans words beat the drums for imperialism, he does not deserve praise.
Battles on social media? The whole city is out there protesting against mainland china encroaching on their rights. Just like any people who feel oppressed at any point in time they are trying to do something about it. While sovereign entities rarely form without military conflicts, it has happened. So the answer to your question is that they are people who hope that their freedom doesn't have to be backed by violence.

My advice is to just watch twitch streams from HKers live. Directly from the source. :)

Also just going to throw this one in here: HK police are largely replaced by mainland chinese at this point, so it's really not surprising to hear about the police violence.

iMessage and iCloud integration is still missing. I can’t image to reach for a phone every time I’m getting text when working on a computer. I’m surprised that such synergy is still not covered by community.

It could be correct and still have an impact on CO2 levels as it is still a massive sequester of carbon. Burning it down removes the sequester and adds it to the atmosphere.

Also, just because it doesn’t produce the breathable O2 we need, that doesn’t mean it’s not part of a global system that produces and stabilizes our atmosphere. It actually is responsible for a massive silt run off that feeds the oceanic diatoms that in turn produce half of the worlds breathable O2 and fixes carbon right in the ocean.

This is a case where a literal point is incorrect but it does not decrease the importance of the rainforest to our globe.

That's what GOOG411 was for as well.
I just have to object.

Early science throughout the world came about because of religion, not despite it. Early Muslim proto scientists like Ibn Sina and Ibn Khaldun explicitly did their science through religion and were heavily involved the religious politics of the day. This was also true also of early scientists in europe like Issac Newton.

Also that statement implicitly kinda carries the idea that europeans took over role of the "advancers of science" due to their tolerance and secularism. That was certainly not the case, european christianity in the 16th and 17th centuries was not in any way tolerant/moderate.

Similarly even if we agree that a decline occurred there are a myriad of other factors that could potentially cause a drop in scientific output such as the various consequences of war, the policies of the Ottoman empire, a lack of the urbanisation that occurred in China and Europe etc.

My US centric bias is showing. Thanks for the reminder!

I suppose that a phonics lesson in Oz probably sounds a bit different than in the US. And they’re both effective. That’s fun to think about.
my typical experience with these kinds of things: I start looking at the source code, and the code is actually simple and short, the logic is easy to follow (make a grid, allow and process formulas in cells, display the grid and some additional edit-mode display if you are editing a cell)... but then I start seeing dependencies, references to other frameworks and multiple languages, libraries... and all that looks so confusing! the dependencies require at least an order of magnitude more knowledge to be understood or used effectively than what we are being shown in the post; that's the really tricky part to me. don't mean to criticize that, those are probably very powerful tools that in most cases you want to know about and use (if you are working in that specific environment), but it's like... are those 100 lines of F# even that important? writing your own excel sounds nice, but I feel it's more "how to glue a bit of F# logic to a web-compatible UI" (well, yeah, one could argue those are really the same things).

> "The final spreadsheet application is quite simple"

Is it? I easily understand the logic of the F# code, but I couldn't make another "similar" application so easily unless I was just copying the dependencies. I wouldn't really know what I'm doing, maybe it's not so simple!

(this isn't meant to be a criticism to the article itself, I just wanted to share this uneasiness I get when checking some code I don't know much about that's presented as "simple"/"short"/...)
better watch youtube videos on both sides and decide for yourself. best to go there and take a look by yourself.

> One of the most interesting properties of Kei is you can combine statics symbols with rewriting rules to create another logic system, like COC. In λΠ-calculus modulo the conversion of terms is available between β-reduction and Γ-Reduction, this means that a type can be changed through a type relation of a rewriting rule. Of course, if there is a well-typed substitution rule σ(x).

The dark ages simply refers to the loss of texts. There are few surviving texts from that period, so it is “dark”. Later the term was re-branded to mean “bad time when no new science was done” but that’s a viewpoint that doesn’t fit the facts.

Unpaid internships are tricky and something to avoid unless expectations are clear from both sides since the beginning. "I could come and go as I please", sometimes, is not compatible with somebody taking responsability and signing some documents that the intern must present somewhere, specially in fields with more offer than demand.
> But then again, people born in Roman Empire got Roman citizenship on Birth

That depends on when you're talking about. Until Caracalla made all free subjects citizens in 212 AD (supposedly so that he could tax them more heavily),[1] Roman citizenship was restricted and highly coveted.

> There were other Pagan religions at the time and in middle east Jews didn't accept Roman state religion.

From the late 300s onwards, pagans were persecuted in the Roman Empire. Nicene Christianity was the state religion. Also, Jews lived throughout the empire, not just in the Middle East. From about the 1st century AD onwards, there were more Jews living outside of the land of Israel than within it.

How the 'LinkedIn on Steroids' Sales Navigator App Could Increase Your Sales
I'm not arguing that it's not something to worry about. It certainly is something to be worrying about. But so are the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, which are arguably even more threatened.

But we should be worried about it because of the impact on global biodiversity. Not because we'll be running out of oxygen. Having ~20% oxygen in the atmosphere reflects a long-term equilibrium of biologic and non-biologic processes.

If advocates focus on the oxygen issue, adversaries can easily point to negligible changes, and argue that there's nothing to worry about.

And, as I said, to the extent that oxygen is an issue, we ought to worry even more about the oceans. They are by far the major oxygen source, and arguably more vulnerable to catastrophic collapse.
>Wasn’t dieselgate about companies rigging their software to trigger emissions control only during testing to meet NOx standards?

Essentially yes.

>And wasn’t dieselgate about trying to trick US standards rather than about European standards?

No, most likely not. The main motivation at the time they put these "devices" in place was to trick the European standards, the so called Euro 1 to Euro 6, and regulators. Of course it helped with the US/Californian standards too, but hardly the main concern.
But the primary diesel market was (and still is) the EU, also with new diesel models introduced there first.
E.g. in 2015 over half of all new passenger cars in Europe were diesel. At the same time the US diesel new passenger cars were about 3%. Diesel was incentivized by European governments in particular the German.

What's more is that a lot of other countries outright adopted the Euro standards too, or based their local standards directly on the Euro standards, e.g. Israel, Turkey, Australia, India, and even China to a degree, to name a few. Getting e.g. an Euro 5 certification meant you not only were able to sell in the EU but a lot of those places too.

Of course, it was US researchers and regulators who uncovered this fraud first (or at least the first who made it public and issued fines), kudos to them, so that's probably why there is a perception that this thing was about US and US standards.

BTW, those "cheat devices" really aren't devices per see but ECU configuration data to instruct the ECU to limit the urea solution (AdBlue) use to likely test scenarios. And they started doing this cheat mainly because they fucked up their designs installing too small, tiny urea solution tanks (which often were hard to access) which would have required car owners to refill that tank really often.

Thanks for the link, I was indeed unaware of the term.

By looking through the ongoing discussion, it was interesting to find a reference to the core-js issue [0] from earlier this year. Its maintainer, with his established position in the npm community, makes use of a similar post-install script to open up a discussion and communicate his situation. This gives him a more direct communication channel to its users without directly helping his situation.

What I assume can be understood as a rent-seeking practice, is how fooreys intention, with the same political power in maintaining a popular package,
seems not to be solely to raise awareness to his situation. But instead he's forced a solution to his problem by advertising unrelated 3rd party products. Whereas he interestingly also uses the term experiment, it did already render npm as a space for advertisement.

That’s wildly inaccurate. Arithmetic was very much a subject at several schools with the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division all being taught. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrivium

Long division being difficult in Roman numerals is one of the reasons for the switch.
Adventure in Prolog Tutorial (2016)
As simple as it sound, I feel there's need to stress on how important it is for users to find what they seeks without going through maze of hyperlinks and visual fluffs.

* If I'm seeking for contact number and/or address, I'll attempt to find it in "Contact Us" on first level navigation, or footer of any page.

* If I'm seeking for menu, I wish it's available on first level navigation. Price would be nice, but understandable if it's not feasible/ideal to show them.

* If I want to make online booking, I either look for widget on side of homepage, or proceed to "Contact Us" to see if there's either a widget or hyperlink for booking. If not, then at least I should see a telephone number for me to call.

* If I want to see more details of an event I heard of that is happening now/soon, then I wish it's available as a feature on homepage. If not, I'll look for "News" on first level navigation and hoping to see what I'm after in the first page of listing. And for the love of god, please include year in your news post or in the body content. This is especially important when it is an annual/reoccurring event.
