> What are cells if not computational nodes that exchange messages?

We evolved in a context where we survived by exchanging messages with other "computational nodes". So it's very tempting to see everything through that lens. But I think it's a mistake to see cells as "really" just like us. As Box said, "All models are wrong, some models are useful." We shouldn't forget that cells are really cells, and we see them as analogous to familiar things because the world is too big to represent directly in three pounds of meat.
Yes, but politicians speaking to the press often speak in a non-formal manner. At any rate the bill appears not to be under active consideration at present.
Trusts do alleviate a portion of it, but there’s entire swaths of content you can’t do solo (including all of the MSQ-blocking Trials).

I like trusts, but they’re definitely a band-aid for a very specific issue (DPS queue lengths).
Literally every other card I have gets scuffed and marked in my wallet.
I feel almost the exact opposite: TypeScript is delightfully terse while still achieving its main goal of looking and feeling like JavaScript. I've used languages where things start looking like line noise (hi, Scala) and I very strongly do not get that feeling out of TypeScript.

You have discriminated unions and the compiler is clever about them, so you can implement ADTs if you want them with a little but not a nasty level of boilerplate. (They can also be implemented with an abstract class if that's more your bag.)

It lacks pattern matching because it intentionally doesn't include a runtime component, which I think is also wise. Options exist if you want to use them. I've seen people use Purify to good effect.
I did this for the first time 2 days ago on two medium-size GH repos and it while was crazy slow, it eventually completed after about 8 hours or so. The actual bits seemed to finish in a relatively quick amount of time, but the project landing page continually showed "import in progress" for all those 8 hours.
I have a third child, and getting outnumbered was even harder still. But I do recommend getting the children as close together as possible, because the longer you wait between them, the more years the sleep deprivation lasts.

Anger.
Sorry for the negative emotion, and shame for my word-broken, but I just cannot stand him.
I grew up on an acreage, drinking well water in the 80s - I doubt it was contaminated by micro-plastics. We had animals of all sorts. I still have brutal allergies - the irony being that the things I was exposed to the most (we kept horses) is the thing I'm most allergic to.
Typescript is really unlike C# or Java though, error cascading is a much much bigger issue in a structural type system than a nominal one, where the x method not implemented by class C will trigger whenever you try to call the x method (in a nominal type system you just get the error once, the typescript team could probably do a better job with this by investing some resources into the problem).

Another thing: metallic cards feel unnaturally heavy, I don't understand why would you choose them over the plastic ones.
Wyoming gets 2 senators, same as California - which means their residents get massively MORE representation at the federal level.
I'm not sure if you've bought much at the store, but trying to eliminate plastic from your purchases sounds like a great way to spend a lot more money currently. You are limited to a tiny number of options.

Also when it comes to products that present contamination risks, plastic is an excellent barrier to prevent the spread of microbes.
A Brush with a Notorious Cat, My Rabies Education and the Big Bill That Followed
I have a 4 and 2 year old. It was the best thing to happen to me in a personal and professional sense.

It is difficult. The first year is hard. It’s hard to even draw parallels to. You know how it’s like to learn to ride a bike or a new language or play a musical instrument when you’ve never played one before? It’s like that almost everyday for the first few months at least. You will be sleep deprived. You will be in auto pilot doing things you wonder how/why you did it.

But the reward is amazing! You have the opportunity to do right in the world. You can raise kids that’ll add sanity to your worldview. I’m raising my kids to be empathetic and kind human beings. My older one unprompted goes to the shy kid on the playground and involves him/her. That’s so rewarding to see. He cares for his brother to the extent that he’ll ask us to go “let it go” when we try to get the younger one through his tantrum.

Now, why was it the best thing to happen to me professionally? 2 things:
1. Something better be a fucking good reason for me to spend time on it. Stupid meeting? Sorry, I’m busy I’m walking out to do other work. Random chit chat in a meeting that’s running late? I’m cutting that shit down. I’ve learned to value my time like execs value their time. I’m not rude but I have become very particular. Something has to be worth my time to take me away from spending time with my kids.
2. After parenting most things feel easy to me. Exec presentation? Give me an hour. Train a new person with a bad attitude. Pfft. I can handle that without getting upset. Deal with an aggressive Engineering Manager. Yeah I got skills to calm this person down. Stand up for the quite colleague in the corner? You bet I’ve noticed it and intervened to seek their input.

It has been my observation and experience that if you don’t do so patronizingly, a lot of how to talk to a child can be applied to grown ups with marvelous results.

All of this though is if you’re ready for it. I knew I was when I realized I wanted to share my view of the world with someone I was caring for. Good luck!
> Discourage 'any' but not been afraid of using it when must.

I've found that I rarely need `any` anymore. My solution has been `@ts-ignore` (and a warning coming out of tslint for that, to clean up as better typings, etc. arrive) and the `unknown` type, which better encapsulates the "valid" uses of `any`.

> I've had real headache typing API responses.

Swagger and generated library code has made this a lot better in my neck of the woods. It isn't perfect, of course, but it's incrementally better. (Obviously, if you don't own the API, it's harder. Though I've also defined Swagger docs for third-party APIs in the past and generated my own clients, if I understood them well enough.)
It really is quite astounding that you are willfully ignoring the context of history in order to push this point about a tyrannical government. The current United States government is tyrannical and has been since its inception if you're of a certain race. And yet, the only time a large group rose up was to defend their right to enslave said race.

So yes, the creation of the United States was laughable because it established guidelines that it immediately broke.

And then we get to the point that the Declaration of Independence was in 1776 and you're still trying to apply the rules of that time to this time. Or failing to mention the foreign help from groups such as the French, which were instrumental in winning the Revolutionary War.
Software development is more like basketball than baseball.

In basketball, players do "take off" certain plays. But the most valuable players are still contributing during that time. A good shooter can just stand at the 3-point line. Even if they don't do anything, they occupy a defender and make the whole offense better.

A developer won't be cranking out code 8 hours a day. But if they are available to answer questions, perform code reviews, and generally help the team, that's a valuable contribution.
I'm ashamed I didn't think of that.

And... I'm considering grabbing some sandpaper and rounding the edges
I still to this day have problems with various MS Office products failing to save or not auto-saving on the latest Office for Mac. So I spam that Cmd+S button as often as I can.
And yet, with a little thought, we could use those hard-won compatible apis more directly, and for the vast majority of websites, write less code, configuration, etc.

But we still act as though the very basic DOM functionality is some arcane art that has to be "fixed" by a library like jQuery, or as is more common now, an entire stack of large tools.

Having done paid work with React-stack apps, and personal projects with vanilla JS, I still see more advantage with less code on the vanilla side.

What makes you certain of that? HK did attract more billionaires/rich people in the last few years despite the volatility.

On the other hand, exactly because of the high work ethic USA excels in many regards that these "well-being nations" do not. But you're right, it doesn't necessarily lead to a better health to work harder, however, often it does lead to better business results.

We're talking about this (again) because of Business Roundtable's updated statement of purpose.

This history of Business Roundtable was illuminating to me:

https://press.princeton.edu/titles/10135.html

Lobbying America
The Politics of Business from Nixon to NAFTA

"Lobbying America tells the story of the political mobilization of American business in the 1970s and 1980s. Benjamin Waterhouse traces the rise and ultimate fragmentation of a broad-based effort to unify the business community and promote a fiscally conservative, antiregulatory, and market-oriented policy agenda to Congress and the country at large. Arguing that business's political involvement was historically distinctive during this period, Waterhouse illustrates the changing power and goals of America's top corporate leaders."

--

I collect books about policy making (legislation) and stumbled upon this book. What a find.

My TLDR: History of Business Roundtable is like the metamorphosis of the NRA. Previously reasonable no controversy organization that was taken over by radical ideologues and transmuted into something horrible.

Whereas many left wing skeptics ("snarkists") lampooned Business Roundtable's recent change of heart, I'm far more charitable. We're all connected and need to figure out some way to get along. So I'm glad for the effort.

Maybe I just need to find reasons to be optimistic.
I have seen that too on a web API for an enterprise system. 500 meant OK. Sometimes it threw other codes which then sometimes meant error.
Show HN: Morphistic – progressive web app for vector arts doodling
TL;DR: Novelty bias entices you back to buzz media, cognitive patience is necessary to stick with long form content, and recursive dimensionality of progress through physical pages makes print reading a whole body experience with a sense of place in the material.

There are several reasons why PWA is gaining more traction in ecommerce these days.

Some of their benefits include its numerous advantage offered for the end-users like no installation required for having the app on a smartphone. It enables to

1) Add the app to the home screen
2) Provides native app-like experience
3) Quick loading in the blink of an eye
4) Less data consumption
5) Offline functionality using service workers
6) Easy maintainable

I think the issue here is the definition of "damage." Think about this from a design company's perspective. They've designed a Beautiful Looking Credit Card. A credit card typically takes scuffs, scratches, wear and even tear from everyday use - wallets, pockets, bags and purses. You put the Beautiful Looking Credit Card in those places, and it'll get scuffed, scratched, worn, etc, just like all the others. But now, because it's designed as a Beautiful Looking item, customers are more likely to complain.

Someone wrote here about whether 3 hours or so out of 8 being productive "is not just peculiar to software work.

There's an old post from a photographer blogger and funny guy if somewhat controversial [1]:

> The Two-Hour Rule is a law of American business which states that "no salaried employee, employed by a business to work in an office, may exceed two hours of actual work in any business day."

> The Two-Hour Rule does not apply to government workers (police, fire, military, libraries, public works, etc.), independent contractors, services billed hourly or apply outside the USA. I'll cover these at the end. The Two-Hour Rule applies to people working at government subcontractors because they are businesses.

> The Two-Hour Rule was created to ensure that American business thrived on efficiency, not on dumb hard work, so that Americans could enjoy the lives they had earned."

[1] Naive amateurs with religious feels about photography and its "rules" tend to hate him, for such advice as "just shoot JPEG" (as if shooting RAW, and squeezing that extra quality is not a tradeoff of file size/storage/post processing, but a holy duty of everyone who photographs, even if it's just BS family/travel/pet pics nobody would ever really care about - not even the family/pet).
I've had my metal Chase Sapphire card for a few years now and it looks the same as the day I got it. I don't want a card that is designed to look good, but it's not designed to be used. This is just silly.

This apply here also. Thank you for laying it out for me
The Royal Engineers designed, but did not build, the Royal Albert Hall. They've built a fair number of sea defences in Britain and around the world, though none in recent times. Back in colonial times they built much infrastructure, including administrative buildings, irrigation, dams and canals in a number of places, probably most in India and Canada.

There's also the Ordnance Survey that came out of the RE and surveyed a good part of the globe. There's trig points all over the planet.
correct. the Manhattan project's complexity is generated by a natural, to be distinct from a social problem. and it is not just about offence, but also the inherent complexity of subsidiaries, that can be controlled by having a diverse workforce in the headquarters, that has cultural or organizational knowledge.
Everyone would benefit from the protests if successful who cares about their freedom and not having their eyes gauged out my mainland Chinese government henchmen because they insulted Winnie the Pooh.
Enough to reason about what the thing does in a basic manner and potential pros and cons? That seems like a straightforward heuristic but maybe I'm an optimist haha.

You don't need to know the ins and outs of the mathematics to understand what encryption does, but you should be able to reason about how data is encrypted and what is necessary to decrypt, and what law provides you to request decryption. You sure as hell should also be able to grasp that, like the atomic bomb, once out in the world it's there to stay and you can't really prevent it from being used.

As for economic impact - I find that measure does not really get ahead of the problem. In the case of machine learning if you're regulating economic impact you're decades late. The first-movers already have the data sets, the training has occurred and now you're living in their world. I think it's important to understand a bit more upstream so that you can get ahead of these kinds of issues.

Furthermore, a baseline understanding of these algorithms and their potential biases / impacts of misclassification is important to understand to ensure we don't compromise society by their mis-use, or shift scales in a terrible way unintentionally. The earlier the better, and economic impacts are probably a lagging indicator, or even worse considered a huge boon for those areas that have companies doing this work but using labor from elsewhere to train their models.
Do they bend? I mean you can bend a plastic card and it will recover. I'm curious what titanium does though.

I still don't hear a good argument as to why you should't use classes for your model.

I use [serializr](https://github.com/mobxjs/serializr) to convert json to my classes, and afterwards I can have all the deligtful methods I want. :-) I love the code clarity this gives, methods are where they are most logical, instead of on some helper object.
In other news plastics often mimic estrogen and sperm count down all over the world drastically. Plastics need to be simply banned or highly regulated, and we should also worry about nano particles invading our environment uncontrollably. We have alternatives and the massive corporations that peddle most of the food and drink around the world is more than capable of affording to switch to better alternatives even if it costs them some of their profit.
> "I was up from 4 til 7 rebuilding the database -- you're welcome" and the ability to differentiate themselves without actually being competent at their jobs.

Some do this because it's in their nature. They don't spend their free time doing enjoyable, fulfilling tasks for whatever reason, so work is really the only form of stimulation they have. Older women without children (or adult children) seem to be particularly susceptible to this.
I like those posts. Big providers are idolised by clients. Those posts help me little bit with fighting against unreasonable expectations and faulty comparisons.
Big Straw?
BECAUSE they feel unnaturally heavy. It's a status thing. When you hand your card over to the person at the till, you feel important, because your card is metallic, instead of plastic.

The Apple Card is a relatively plain matt white credit card made of titanium, which was designed to stand out against other credit cards.
It's just a different medium and plenty of people love it nostalgia or not. I bet a ton of people who never grew up with pixel art games enjoy them today and there would be no nostalgia for them.
Last week my colleague and I were sharing screens while he was writing a document. 10 minutes in and some good wording put into the document I asked him: "Are you saving this?". He answered, "yes, I do Ctrl+S while typing, I mean, between words". And I couldn't even notice it. That's level 5 in the craze scale.
Titanium is very elastic.
Working fewer hours is absolutely required as a practice of degrowth to reduce CO2 emissions and limit ecosystem damage.
I mean, it's not designed to be used, really. The entire point of the Apple Card appears to be pushing NFC payments - it's why the physical card is optional, and gets you half the cash-back.
No worries, it was read with offense I didn't take. I agree, designing a good random number API is in fact hard. I just think we can give developers a better out-of-the-box experience.
You really just need to either:

b.) Or get the kids and wife involved

c.) Or stop whining about it.

It would be closer in alignment with what was defined as a tech company. The article is pretty explicit defining the features of a tech company. WeWork isn't. Saying they could do something that would fit some of those characteristics and it's easy doesn't magically make it true.

If McDonalds is so easy, how come everyone else isn't as globally prevalent? It's not easy. It's competitive as hell. It's a completely different model.

But you're not making arguments in good faith, you're just being intentionally dense.

A large part of what made WoW a landmark in my life was the community I found there. Some good friends, some life-long friends, etc. My big worry in "going back" is that you quickly discover the game was only a mechanism in a bigger picture - and that the people, and that time in your life, just aren't there anymore.

Like buying your first car, again, 20 years later. Exactly the same car, but it won't be .. exactly the same. It won't be the same breakthrough freedom it was in your teens - just the empty husk of it.
Tech actually seems really optimal for this.

I get assigned a 8 hour task. I spend 4 hours trying to get it done in 4 hours. The next time I get the same task, it takes 4 hours. I can optimize it even further if it happens a lot, get it done in 10 minutes.

I can 'siphon off' time this way, lowering estimates a little, cutting time spent by a lot, then basically reinvesting the saved time into rest or productivity. The other day we had a meeting; I got all the work done before the meeting ended then waited an hour before showing the result.

There are lots of tricks, like figuring out keyboard shortcuts, IDE plugins, or simply refactoring staging/production builds into a single button. It's surprising how much mental effort and time a shortcut like CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + F saves.

The long term goal is to be so productive that I can probably negotiate a shorter work week or more vacation days instead of a raise, as I already get paid a comfortable amount.
It's a faux status symbol, much like gold coloured cards used to be until every card was gold. Then came platinum...

Milton Friedman wasn’t wrong. It’s important to mention that he specifically stated that businesses should operate within both legal and ethical norms. Suggesting that unethical or illegal behavior is excused by his theory is wrong.

In addition, businesses are only “islands of socialism” to the extent that it increases profit. Ronald Coase’s ‘Theory of the Firm’ lays out the logic of this arrangement. Business relationships are voluntary, and the threat of monopoly is greatly exaggerated.
That's assuming things go well. My two older siblings are, uh, let's just say they're not very close and dealing with them growing up was an experience in and of itself.

Sure, but aren't other cards designed for that? I mean, I really have to look to see the marks on my plastic cards. And none of my cards has, as in the Apple card, picked up stains.

It seems like the problem here is Apple's fetish for a pristine, minimal aesthetic not meshing well with the realities of how credit cards get used. And the "please don't use it normally" is a pretty classic tech industry, "No, you're USING IT WRONG". Which I've never understood. I mean, if I'm not making something for actual people to actually use, why would I be trying to sell it to them? I do plenty of just-for-my-own-entertainment coding, but I try not to inflict that on others.
