I’m not certain meaning is implied.

My memory is decent, but nothing spectacular, and I have numerous poems accurately committed to memory in multiple languages I do not speak, or did not know when I memorised them - and I’m talking lengthy tone poems and that sort of thing.

I memorised them using traditional spaced repetition techniques, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Peek’s recall was similar - content without meaning, a progressing pattern. I think it’s similar to learning music by rote - at any rate, the recall feels similar - flow pickup points, like key frames in animation, with everything following being a seemingly obvious progression from that seed.
I can give you a good reason why not to do assembly. It requires you to allocate storage for data by constantly swapping it in and out of a fixed number of places. It binds you to minute details of a specific architecture that don't matter in 99% of the cases. It doesn't have a facility for subroutine calls (one of the most successful abstractions for sure), requiring the programmer to redundantly encode a calling convention at each call site, which also affects register allocation. It doesn't allow you to give descriptive names to local variables.

I'm not positive that functional approaches can bridge a similarly distinctive gap. But I know that it's easy to get tempted down rabbitholes where we constantly restructure programs without measurable benefit, or make abstractions that we regret later on.

Instead, it rather seems to me like mainstream imperative languages adopt a few simple features where they make sense (or not). For example, sometimes it's nice and elegant to look up items using a predicate function, although usually I'll actually prefer the explicit for loop or such (but yeah, YMMV).

One more problem I see is as follows. It seems to me that assembly->procedural (compiled) languages is a step that improves encoding efficiency in a very "local" way. It's still pretty easy to contain and control these abstractions and make different decisions in other places, and still have the places interact easily enough. With more advanced systems, I'm not so sure. There are so many general, far reaching assumptions how computation should be done (language runtime, code generation, etc) that go beyond the mere constraints of the computer's architecture. I think these lead to a lot of isolation that is not beneficial.

> If you find yourself constantly duplicating and tweaking the same axiomatic logic to do different things,

Point is, I really don't. (I'm not sure what "the same axiomatic logic" is, but I don't find myself duplicating a lot of things). Actually, it often seems to me things are much easier and less redundant if we can just focus on the data and not get a type system or similar in the way. Of course there might be problem domains where things look a little different than I've experienced.
What is the limit for what is "user provided"? My entire facebook profile, including my social graph is "user provided".

"I understand the concept of how cloud storage works: "hey, we'll look after it for you, back it up and stuff, and all you need to do it pay us a small monthly fee"."

If only there was a cloud storage provider that gave you an empty UNIX filesystem to do whatever you like with.

Maybe a proper .ssh directory to populate with your own keys and authorized_keys directives ?

Bonus points if it's a zfs filesystem with a .zfs/snapshot directory in the root.

it's theoretically possible. I don't know of any tools that do it (which could be a comment on my research skills rather than the state of the art).

in theory you can do dataflow analysis on all external inputs to the program (geo, filesystem, text) and monitor where that goes in the program. For something more complicated like a browser, you might want to do the analysis per component (URL bar in this case).

wouldn't be perfect, but it's a starting point.

linting is tougher on closed-source software than open-source, but if a company certified a linter output and was found to be lying I'm comfortable with using the law to resolve that.
But then I'd miss out on the 4% back from my Costco Visa for that gasoline. And even _just that 4%_ pays for the membership in my case. :D

(My next-best card in terms of rebate on gas is 1.5%, so assuming an additional 2.5% from Costco, I need to buy $2400 in gas to have the full membership covered by just the gas rebate - not even counting the additional savings from the lower price of gas).
Actually finish my CS degree.
I can say from my experience no it hasn't. You are forced to install iTunes for your computer to even be able to manipulate the device with other software, so even if you have MediaMonkey or an alternative music library you will need to install iTunes first. MediaMonkey works well generally, but as soon as there's an iOS update there's no guarantee you can transfer music because it can break something in the chain.
As for metadata, you still have to use 3rd party (e.g. mp3tag) which can be its own time-consuming headache--at least you can use RegEx.

Study computer science instead of mathematics. I chose mathematics because was easier for me and programming can be self-taught. The idea was to eventually start work as programmer while studying and did indeed, however I follow syllabus of CS courses and think it would far better if I studied CS.

Costco has some nice products, and usually has a good food selection, but there are times when they sell junk products as well. Their health and hygiene section can be hit or miss, and if you're looking for more natural products similar to what may be sold at Whole Foods then your best bet is Amazon.

Costco usually have a descent selection of organic foods cheaper than you'll find almost anywhere else.

One area that I'm disappointed in is their computer selection. Although you may be getting additional support and a cheaper warranty, they simply don't refresh their hardware enough. Almost all their computers are lower end and still expensive compared to what you'll find on Amazon, especially if you price out the cost of building a desktop with much better and newer parts.

I don't understand this anti-car sentiment from the city liberals. It's already happened here in London and it's getting worse. From 20mph speed limits to blocking roads for bus-only traffic to ultra-low emission zones and congestion charges. It's becoming pretty clear that they don't want people to own their own cars. I'm struggling to see how this is progress.
For the moment magnitude scale, I believe the (typical; it doesn’t actually correspond directly to energy release) ratio is even steeper than that, at around a 32x factor for each point in the scale. So to equal the energy of a 7 you’d need roughly 1 billion magnitude-1 quakes.

You just have to time it right. I try to walk in 15 minutes before they stop letting people in. At my local store that’s 30 mins before official closing time (8:30pm). By the time you finish your round, all of the people before you already exited the store.

I don't think sequels are a bad thing in the gaming world, since games are software and software is iterative!

A lot of times the 2nd and 3rd iterations surpass the originals... the first title in a series is where all the design and technical challenges are worked out, and then the sequel is where they're able to finetune and really hone things.

Check out the top-rated (both by users and critics) games of all time. Nearly all sequels.

(Note that one of the top-rated games, SoulCalibur, is indeed a sequel as well... Perfect Dark is also, while not a sequel, certainly a "follow up" to Goldeneye in a technical sense)

> This is really a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of situation.

Why? Simply, when setting up the device/browser, let the user choose what safe browsing API the browser shall use (both, one of them, or none).

Letting the user make a conscious choice is the best way to handle "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of situation. To make the choice as conscious as possible for the user, provide additional material that explains the advantages and disadvantages of each option for the user so that the user is well-informed before he/she makes his/her choice.
AFAIK, Ruby is the only language that people make other languages look like (CoffeeScript) and JS is the only language that people make look like other languages (CS, TS).

I'm often able to mystify people by fixing something by dropping to a shell and modifying files.. even some developers. I think the one thing that this article points out is how unaware some developers about what they're doing. The author had an example where he used NPM to download dependencies and said "websites were made of files; now they are made of dependencies." While that is not wrong, its too often how people think, and they forget that the dependencies are actually just a bunch of files.

I actually end up helping tons of random people in my company use conda, because they can't get the concept of virtual envs. They don't understand that the libraries are actually files on the disk, and your virtual environment is just a directory and some variables.

That's not to say all developers are like this, but I think the numbers that think like this are growing. Ultimately, I'm like you - they can pry the files from my cold dead hands, if I didn't know what/where/how files were used, I wouldn't fundamentally understand how a lot of different technologies even work.
USB drives and SD cards seem to be doing just fine, along with hard drives for desktop use. The inconvenience of these is having to go somewhere to buy them and not being able to magically simultaneously sync between devices.

This has already happened at least once in the automotive realm, as auto manufacturers replaced the dashboard gauges for important measures like oil pressure with "idiot lights".

Of course the idiot light has achieved an apotheosis in the era of computerized cars, where the car's onboard computer signals a problem and illuminates the "CHECK ENGINE" light. Of course, what that means is that you need to take the car in to the garage and have a Certified, Licensed Professional Mechanic attach a doohickey to the engine computer to tell him what the problem is, so he can tell you.

My father is an old-time car geek. This shit drives him up the wall.

FTA:

> Costco has found immense success by prioritizing the interests of its customers and employees over those of its shareholders.

I always hate articles that are premised on the above because the article always ends up contradicting this point. The truth is, Costco has been great for all of the above over the last 5yrs. I wish people would stop making it seem like the core of any successful business and what is taught in B Schools is screwing over everyone except yourself. It's just not how the world works and that's proven over and over again.
Singapore is famously the country that banned chewing gum. Personal freedom has never been a priority there.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, or a good thing, it's just different. There are a number of ideas they've successfully implemented there that would never fly in other countries - ethnic housing quotas, for instance. It undoubtedly works in reducing residential segregation, but I don't know if it's worth the cost in not letting people live where they want.
But you could easily compare multiple brands because they will not have different package or serving sizes to trick the system. Here in germany 100g nutrition labels have to be added, made-up serving sizes can be used too if they want, but 100g nutrition tables are enforced.
> What I don't understand is why no gas station other than Costco has hoses that can reach around a vehicle.

Regular gas stations rarely have a line of people waiting for a pump. Costco often does. Managing that queue becomes much easier if any car in line can take any open gas pump, without worrying about which side the tank door is on (or messing with the flow of traffic by trying to back into a spot).
Imagine if, in high density areas like Manhattan, cars were simply not allowed. Wow. The thought of how pleasant Manhattan would become if only cabs + busses + delivery trucks + ambulances were allowed makes me almost too happy.

I don't remember where I read the following analysis (maybe from someone here on HN?) but it goes something like this...

Costco's membership fee (minimum is $60) has several benefits that the media don't like to talk about -- because it's unpleasant to mention it. The membership fee charged by Costco helps keep the riff-raff out. Although the cheapest Costco membership at $60/year looks like a trivial amount to middle-income people, even that tiny cost is enough to be an unreachable Mt Everest for the poorest segments of society. Therefore, the membership fee acts as a socially acceptable way to keep out the undesirables.

Often, you'll see a thread on reddit showing photos of "Walmart shoppers" with tube tops and loose pants with butt cracks showing. That's not the type of clientele that shops at Costco. Walmart also has a huge problem with shoplifting and employee theft (what the retail industry calls "shrinkage") and therefore, there's often a police car outside to arrest somebody. Costco's membership requirement is the hurdle that helps them avoid all that.

Costco makes money on the membership fees itself, but they also save money by not having to deal with shrinkage because their higher-income clientele has less problems.

The above advantages only adds to the other positives such as simpler logistics of ~4000 SKUs at Costco vs 40000 SKUs at Walmart.
Trump Labels Impeachment a “Coup”
Why do you say "But coffeescript is seeing a bit of a revival"? Many metrics (such as https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/graphs/contributor...) suggest otherwise...

I've written an enormous amount of code in CoffeeScript since 2013, but have been migrating it to Typescript during the last year, after it became very clear that CoffeeScript is a dead end. One thing that helps a lot with all the braces (instead of whitespace) is using prettier. My editor is heavily integrated with prettier, so with the touch of a key my code is always formatted in some (almost) canonical way.

> [media file ownership] was definitely a waste of time retagging thousands of music files out of some strange ownership OCD

Full disclosure: I used to work for Spotify. When people talk about services like Spotify and Apple Music, they usually miss how much value is added in the cataloging and search they do. These are a massive pain to do yourself, it doesn't scale past ~10,000 tracks, they've put more thought into it, and are better at handling the song/track/recording ambiguity in search results.
I'm talking about McDonalds, Burger King etc. Every single one here has had places for customers to not just bring their trays but actually separate cardboard, liquids, plastics, food, other, and THEN return the tray. That has been the case for probably at least 15-20 years. Before that it was also bring the tray back, but just a trashcan, no recycling.

Update: the code for Tencent Safe Browsing seems to be very similar to that which talks to Google, down to it being under a "Google" namespace, the API endpoints being named the same, and performing hashing which seems to match the "Update API" here: https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/update-api. I think this is just "whatever Google could see before, Tencent can see now, if you're in China". I'm no expert, so I have no idea if that's k-anonymous or whatever if Tencent/Google decide they want to track you, but in either case it's just shifting who's getting your hashes.
