Thanks for the feedback. Zapmarks is definitely more focused on the keyboard than the mouse. If you have a keyword in your head, we want you to be able to type it and go. Tiles would cause you to have to look around to find what you want.

We have thought about maybe having your top 3 most-used Zapmarks appear under the search bar for quick access, but not sure if that's something we will move forward with or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you don't have kids you can still do it.

Edit in response to replies: Going on vacation with kids is not the same as traveling the world and doing that with the family only works if you're upper class and have no worries about mortgage payments or job security so it's definitely not an option for most people.
Absurd compared to any open online ecosystem, where you pay 2% for payment processing.
If you have this protection, it's like insurance. You, and everybody else, pay an insignificant amount of money and you get a much more expansive treatment incase of failure.
Sure you have a choice, back the politicians that are against this.

I don't get why freedom loving people rather have a corporate take away their freedoms than a democratic self governed body.
Both are power clusters, but in one you have a moral ground to criticise when it's acting against the populous interests (democratic government). While abuses of power from corporate cannot be argued against morally, you don't own them, they are playing by the rules, they manage to make a buck, all is above board morally while in actuality masses of people might be hurt by corporate abuses of power.

Freedom is extremely important but it is sometime conflicted with other values, a reasonable discussion of the conflict and tradeoffs is a much better way to improve life for people, than fanatically protecting the one single value you hold most dear.
Comparing RMS to Jobs and Ballmer is a joke. RMS is way more capable and he devoted his personal life for the sake of good. Jobs and Ballmer are just business people.
It is not true where the alleged act took place.
> Me, too.

It doesn't look like that.

> But I suppose, you are also not a women struggeling in a sexist nerd IT world?

I'm not a woman, I'm also not a sexist nerd.

And I know, having been a supporter of the free software since the mid 90s, having interacted with the first Luther Blisset group in Italy, having tried to build an Italian Linux distro in 1996 and been part in the hack community (I've been among the first to build and attend hack meetings conventions in Italy, you can read more about the first one here http://www.ecn.org/hackit98/faq.html), that I've never met more women in tech than in the FSF circles.

There were literally no women in tech back then, but there were more than a few of them interested in being part of a socio-political revolutionary platform such as the free software philosophy.

I've personally taught a group of girls howto install Linux so they could teach to other people in the free Linux courses we gave in many community centers, back when Linux meant Slackware 1.0 (1.0.1 to be correct) and kernel 1.2.13.

I've been a teacher for Rails girls whose motto is "Our aim is to give tools and a community for women to understand technology and to build their ideas"

Because RMS and all the guys like him believed in inclusiveness and I believed it too, thanks to them.

It's funny how Google Chrome even needs this in the first place, to be honest. This is another great reason to move to Firefox, with the rest of us :p
I like this more than being forced to name parameters since that would be too verbose in many applications. But there is a danger that the label of a type becomes less generic.

The second variant could be weird depending on application.

Still, I see some people argue that positional arguments should be forbidden in newer languages but I would disagree and my main argument would indeed be laziness.
"defending adults having sex with children" - this again - if I accuse you of having sex with children - then everyone who defends you is a creep? We don't know if Minsky had sex with Guiffre - from her deposition we only know that she was directed to seduce him that was (one of) Stallmans point.
This is mostly because of legacy issues.

They have a supplier that has been doing analog knobs for them for half a century, and they're kind of obliged to still use their knobs.

Also the designers are very much in the "everything has to have a button" -mindset, which is hard to get out of.
Well, you can and it is being done? I have no problem with this whatsoever, not everything needs to be online.
What I understood from reading Noam Chomsky is that language was reduced to being able to speak (collectively, not in a human by human case). That in this, we were a unique species.

Your second point is what came to mind when I read it, and found it rare that no one has pointed that out: dogs and cats can definitely express themselves to some degree of complexity, and we can say that they have language.

I mean, at 6 am, when my dog starts barking, he definitely means he's hungry, and we both know that: knowledge has been conveyed, and thus, it's a form of language.

Has anyone any insight on this? Have I misunderstood Chomsky?
This looks like a good idea, but what happens when the user disables this by inspecting the code (or something)?

I know I use wool for cross country skiing and cycling in cooler months. These clothes last several uses. When I try the same with plastic blends they need washing after one use.

EDIT. Several uses closely spaced and the items are aired out between use. If you sweat all over some wool then leave it in ball for a week it will probably rot.
“Cause d’jour” (du jour) is rather dismissive. Why do you say this? Do you think that there are too many groups clamouring for their rights? Why do you think this might be the case?
Really appreciate all the skills and positive attitude they were looking for and I think every engineer should strive to live up to their standards up until this part:

Excitement should be deserved, which means it is a feeling which is acquired after working together for some time. It should not be required as the default position in a job interview. To build a great product, you need seasoned professionals, not gullible hipsters.

I write little academic papers for a living as a professor. I think this is good advice on how to write like cormac mccarthy. More important is to pick an academic writer whose journal articles you love and copy them. One of my favorites is Paul Krugman. He’s not in my field but apparently he’s good enough that people want to read him. He uses lots of semicolons and punctuation.
I understand where this advice is coming from, though. Lots of academics are truly horrible writers and believe complication itself makes their writing erudite.
Why it's hard to find a technical cofounder?
[I'm one of the Microsoft Research people who worked on this]

That's certainly true for simple use cases. Our goal here is to eventually also capture the long-tail of queries about a codebase. Often, within the domain of a project there is a set of natural language terms/jargon that describe complex tasks specific to the domain. Imagine for example a developer joining a mid-sized project and trying to find how to achieve some simple but project/domain-specific task.
Good point! Language can express consciousness, which means that consciousness imply the ability to use language. As in, "we don't know what's inside, so the ability to puke sounds is enough for us to say there's a mind in there". For now, we can't separate one from the other...but that doesn't mean that that separation doesn't exist.
When using the FileInfo api, it's obvious which argument is the source and which argument is the destination. When using the CopyFile, it's not.

If you can't keep track of your variable names, then using keyword arguments, like others here talk about, won't help much, either.

Still don't understand the justification for this machine, I waited years for a MacPro but when it became clear that Apple actually considered it a dead product and behind the scenes were building the iMac Pro to fill the niche I switched to windows and now run a dual 1080Ti workstation (Uses CUDA for 3D rendering path-tracing) for around half the price of a iMac Pro.

Apple bloggers said time and time again the reason they were not making a tower was that there isn't really a market for one anymore, yet when they finally made it they decided to build something that only really serves the highest of high end video editors.

Completely ignoring 3D, mid range video editors, developers who need high core counts + ECC, deep learning, etc.

Before they made it we kept being told "There isn't enough of you to justify them making it"

They finally make it and the narrative turns into "It's not for you it's for people who edit Marvel movies"
I'm still waiting for a viable Tesla competitor. The supercharger network is a surprisingly big bonus when doing the SWOT analysis of buying an EV.

Feature parity would (for me) require at least:

1) Same price point
2) Decent size, bigger than a Leaf, but still not SUV-big
3) Same range with same carrying capacity
4) Something that would compete with the Supercharger network
5) The Geek factor. I want a super-techy EV, not something that's exactly like a normal car, except electric.
Honest question, but why is React unique in offering component encapsulation? I see this more of a structural paradigm than something a framework allows for or limits against.
>140W is considerably closer

Closer, yes, but more useful? Both are off by a mile - not to mention that TDP isn't supposed to tell you a chip's maximum power consumption in the first place. It's supposed to tell you how good your cooler has to be to sustain base clocks / single core turbo, or in AMD's case, to sustain base clocks and some? boost clocks for a limited time.

>If you then compare the actual performance per watt

Performance per watt can certainly be interesting for many people. Performance per watt just isn't connected to TDP. The 3900X (105 W TDP) has higher performance per watt than the 9900K (95 W TDP). Probably at any frequency - although potentially the 3900X can't clock down as much. The 9900K can run Cinebench without a cooler after all (at least the 8700K can, so I'd suspect the 9900K can do that too), while the AMD processors can't. Also, the 3900 (65 W TDP) has the same performance per watt as the 3900X (105 W TDP), if you let them run at the same clock speeds.
Did I interpreted the parent wrong? How did you interpret it?

He said "One in which the author does not assume her brother should blame a greater system of patriarchy and white supremacy."

My interpretation was that the person was not affected by the racism or the society norms and the author is wrong, I pointed out that her stories about the racism and the rest are confirmed by statistics, so I am not sure why the OP is so sure that the author is wrong, does he have more information?

Yes the article is subjective and the author can be wrong but a random guy wants to disprove the author because his political views disagree with the author.
Once you get used to it, you really start to like it. Trust me, I've written so many programs at this point, but most of them are dead projects :D

It might "physically hurt" if you aren't really comfortable with the language, too. I've found this especially true with Bash, as I just don't like the syntax, so you might be trying too hard to understand it.

Anyways, you should have fun developing at one point. Good luck :D

> This is _exactly_ how it works for wait staff in restaurants in most states, except that is by hour instead of delivery. For example, in MA, the restaurant pays out a minimum of $3.75 (wait staff minimum wage in MA) and guarantees that the wait-person makes $11 (actual minimum wage).

This is deceptive.

The big difference is that Doordash's calculation is redone for every order delivered. With wait staff past minimum wage the tip you give them doesn't in any way reduce the amount of money the business pays them. The business pays them the same amount if they make $1/hour above minimum wage or $20/hour above minimum wage.

With Doordash on the other hand, the tip you give _always_ reduces the amount Doordash pays. You are essentially subsidizing Doordash's payment of the driver.

This is deceptive because most people expect that when they leave a tip that the amount of the tip they leave will directly increase the income of the person they're tipping. In reality, a Doordash driver is very unlikely to make additional money because of your tip unless you tip a large amount. To top this off Doordash advertised tips as "100% goes to the driver", which is extremely scummy because it obviously is intended to trick people into this belief.
There are people with brain damage, that loose short- or long-term memory. Are they conscious?

This whole debate is very grey area and one could argue from either position and never prove anything (which is one of the reasons I like to read and think about what make us 'us').

The question of false positives isn't something they covered, but I wonder the same thing. I'd love to hear more about it.
For every person who "gets closure" there's another who had moved on and didn't want that crap dredged back up. Solving cold cases for the sake of solving cold cases does not have enough benefit to society to be worth the invasion of privacy.
>I guess the younger generation is getting better at faking it until you make it, I guess? lol

Have enough HR bullshit thrown at you before getting an actual technical interview and you sooner or later learn to cope with a nonsensical system. I would see it similar to figuring out how you can bypass a useless automated support hotline and get in contact with an actual human with enough power to fix your problem.
Well, I'm wondering if consciousness is even a real state that can be defined precisely, or is it simply a made up construct so we humans can feel better about ourselves. For example, if there was AI sufficiently complex to pass Turing test by emulating self-awareness how can we determine where emulation ends and real self-awareness begins?

What if the AI is not even created by emulating neurological processes like we do now with neural nets, but some new fairly transparent mechanism of self-coding is invented like massive collection of if-then-else conditions covering everything the AI can experience and updated in real time? If we knew exactly how that AI operates could we then state definitely that it is or isn't conscious?
Anyone who wanted Nvidia already left Apple's ecosystem in the Mac Pro trashcan era, and honestly wont want to look back.

I feel like this is a good place to recommend the Radiolab episode Words [1], though it's not so much about consciousness as about language, the development of language, and communication without a shared language. I found it a very intriguing listening experience, hope others will enjoy it as well. Part is about the man without words mentioned elsewhere in the comments as well (a person who learned language as an adult).

A lot of WP features do not work in this case. The infra need to get this working is also not simple. And finally the code produced to get this to work (the mess of "hooks" called filters in WP iirc) does not at all resemble the clean React code base of my Gatsby website project.

I argue maintainability is the main reason for me to choose Gatsby over WP for projects where the choice makes sense.
POSIX supports sharing filedescriptors between processes.

For example, you can have a process that reads a few bytes from a TCP socket and then passes the socket to another process.

Unix tries to model all I/O, including networking, as operations on files. Realistically it is only possible to get this right if the kernel is involved.

Of course it is quite possible to come up with different models. But Unix seems to be uniquely powerful in its ability to create complex systems from lots of small processes.

The kernel being involved does not imply that all code has to be in the kernel. The FUSE file system interface is a well known way to run filesystem code as user processes. Likewise, there are ways to run device drivers in user space.

The disavantage is that the extra context switches cause performance loss. So this approach is use for protocols that are rarely used and do not warrent full kernel implementation.
"Stallman said what he said in very simple terms."

Actually, the terminology he used was not simple. For example:

"Let’s presume that was true (I see no reason to disbelieve it)."

He's not saying he believes Minsky had sex with the girl; he's granting that it's possible, absent any contrary evidence, for the purposes of argument. That type of reasoning is called a hypothetical argument; the words "Let's presume" are the clue.

And indeed there is contrary evidence, of which RMS was aware: an eye-witness has stated that he saw Minsky being propositioned, and that Minsky rejected the advance.

So RMS adopted, for the purpose of defending his friend (a man who could not defend himself), an unsubstantiated hypothesis which he knew was contradicted by other evidence. Is this what you are calling "very simple terms"? It's actually a sophisticated bit of reasoning, and it's easy to misunderstand it if you don't read carefully. Note that it was addressed to a bunch of very clever people - people who can be expected to be able to parse such an argument - the subscribers to the CSAIL list. It was not addressed to the general public, nor the readership of pop-tech websites like Vice and TechCrunch.

I've been distanced from web development for a year and you now have a cool new framework, ReactJS is surpassed by VueJS and probably some other packaging tools did something interesting and new opinions about how the same old things should be built are on the rise.

But I have a serious question: Why the web dev is still a relevant thing? Don't get me wrong, I won't argue that the web is dead and all should move into AI or VR or something but I am under the impression that most of the problems that can be solved through a Web UI are mostly solved. Sure people come up with interesting business ideas all the time but they usually don't require innovative Web UI tech and can be built just fine with 10-year-old frameworks.

How is the web world doing? Why would anyone keep creating cool new frameworks?
The frontend is a ~$30 bucks VPS with OVH. This thing serves about 2 million users / month and about 20k concurrent users (with persistent websocket connections etc.).

The backend is:

- $10 VPS with OVH + $10 VPS as a fallback with another provider for my DB.
- $5 VPS with OVH to host my central debian package repository.

- About $500 worth of dedicated servers for serving hundreds of TB of files a month (usually below one petabyte though). This is not really relevant to this discussion, because OPs application doesn't have a file serving aspect to it. His application is basically just my frontend and a DB.

- Small files and thumbnails go through cloudflare for another $20 / month. But the main site and most files don't use cloudflare (they'd kick me out if I passed that kind of traffic through them). They serve about 30TB-70TB of traffic a month on my account.
