Two thirds of what you recommend eating is carbs, no need to count calories, protein at dinner for muscle growth?

This is just a pile of very bad pseudoscience.

Almost. The investors caught them exit-scamming and forced them to postpone the IPO due to further scrutiny of their profitability plans. As for the CEO banking his shares pre-IPO, it doesn't give confidence in investors that they are actually profitable or worthy of being $47B (Now less than $9B).

I rarely attack on character here, but I'm afraid this exit-scam almost strongly resembles a certain joker taking his circus on the stock market.
I didn't mean for it to sound like an equivocation, and reading it back I see how it could be seen that way. I should have worded it better.

What I'm trying to say is that we should all be aware that our actions occur in a context, and thinking about the possible implications of those actions is a good thing. This is true whether that action is a physical action, or speech, or even inaction etc. The attitude of the OP appeared to be more "I am free to do x and I'm not going to give any thought to what the possible consequences might be before I do x", which isn't particularly fun for everyone else.

But what if I want to search knitting to find out how to knit, not to revel in quirk culture?

The "authentic" people are on Youtube and Reddit and Medium and publishing on Twitter and closed Facebook groups. And yet, some of those people sometimes want to make a living on their passion. I would be willing to bet most people on the web in the 90s would have as well, if they could have.

There is more hobby and enthusiast content on the web now than there ever has been, with more depth, greater quality and dimensionality than the 90's web could ever have hoped to offer, as well as far more opportunities for interaction between people. I think that's a fair trade for nostalgia and "quirk."

(Edited for less snark and more clarity since it seems this comment is getting sniped.)
If I needed to track down such a site I would try asking in person. Find a local knitting meetup and ask everyone there. Then go to the next city over and do the same thing. Hopefully you will bump into someone who knows someone who knows about that awesome knitting site.

And that sucks.

Thanks for the pointer to Neocities.
Unsurprised that most of the comments on this post are just people number dropping their IQ and anecdotes about their mental health problems and minimal discussion of the article itself.

If I had to guess it would be something such as concatenating a bar code.

In UK, we have items which when reduced all they do is add the new price to the end of the bar code.

ie. If some product is barcode of 3035555074225 and it's then reduced in price, the reduction including some checksum is added.

So, if the new price of 3035555074225 is 50p, the code becomes 303555507422500502 (Where we add 0050 for the price, and 2 is the checksum).

Next time you are in the supermarket just look at the barcode and you'll spot the pattern.

So for your example, maybe there was some EPOS system that the guy had inside understanding of how barcodes worked on coupons and could easily pair them.
Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I had read the whole shebang yesterday and that Q&A has been added since then. Before the CoC was made public, the (unofficially) communicated approach was that checking the profile was to be mandatory.

hence why as a young programmer the best ever present I got from my mother was a US layout keyboard, and never looked back. With AltGr deadkeys I can even write things that are Italian, like "È", but cannot be done on an Italian keyboard (there is no such letter on the keyboard, and one has to rely on the word processing sofware to properly capitalise it if "è" comes after an end of sentence).

Italian keyboards are shit for writing Italian, _and_ for programming.

Seconded. As another commenter on this thread said, make sure you have a powerful enough machine. I work with Angular a lot. For me, Rider's killer feature is Angular integration [1]. It is far more powerful than Visual Studio's.

This is my problem as well. I'm tried using millionshort, obscure duckduckgo searches that exclude a lot of the big sites, and they still don't show up.

This site has an immense amount of data in a reading-friendly format about old, obscure, beautiful photography equipment, in a way I've not seen for decades. Why? Because it hasn't been updated since 2005. And it just works.
Can I use the occasion to recommend an VERY good book on modern C# programming: "Functional Programming in C#" by Enrico Buonnano:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31550964-functional-prog...

I'm only a few chapters in, but already it has transformed my C#-writing in many ways, and I have ton of practical ideas on how to better structure my programs in a functional way as I go on.

I am self employed, and invested the lump sum of 800€ (+ screen that I already head) for a reasonably beefy desktop machine. I'm not saying that 32G is the minimum required to run JetBrains IDEs well; I'm saying 8G is not enough and 32G is definitely enough to run it alongside a bunch of containers and other stuff.

I agree that JetBrains stuff is resource hungry (maybe excessively so); to me it is still worth using it for Java, C#, Python, iOS and Android. For C++ I prefer Qt Creator (though I must say that the idea of switching to CLion and having a consistent IDE experience across all platforms that I work on is tempting).
Gab was a platform advocating "free speech" and as is the meme with those types of platforms these days, it was filled by people denying the holocaust and claiming all black people operate better as slaves. The list is not exhaustive, but you get the idea.

To my mind, no good-faith claim that such things do not need to be ostracised exists.
I use ZFS on root on Ubuntu for its flexibility and relative ease of use. It’s easy for example to set different compression ratios on various paths by creating arbitrary volumes. Plus the checksum protection is nice. You can use snapshots for backups too.
You can press Q while using cmd tab to quit that app entirely without leaving the cmd tab interface, which is a fast way of cleaning up at the end of the day / when project switching.

(apologies if this was _precisely_ what you referring to, but commenting in case you meant you then closed each app individually with cmd q, then returned to the cmd tab interface)

A few other shortcuts for cmd tab:

It depends on your definition of "getting things done". I have no illusions about the work ethic of meditteraneans (being one myself, and with the caveat that work ethic is probably the wrong word to use here). This might be just me growing slightly older - but i tend to side more and more on the med side. Nowdays I wish I could take a 2 hour break to go hang out at home, cook my own meal and listen to some music instead of the usual 30/60 minute lunch break. Getting things done means different things to different people, and culture plays a huge part.
I stepped away from Python for about a year, and now I'm coming back to it. I hardly recognize the language. I'm not happy about this at all.

When you hear a phrase like "sexual encroachment", you may prepare yourself for a modern pseudo-feminist spiel about how any kind of unwanted physical contact is sexual assault, but Wolf's explanation of her use of the phrase and her emphasis on its distinctions while maintaining its corrupt nature is spot on and very appreciated.

A couple weeks ago my neighbor was drunk and kept trying to make physical contact with me, grabbing my hand, hugging, touching me, despite me incessantly asking her to stop. I didn't feel victimized or assaulted (I have actually been sexually assaulted by another male and it is different), but I was still at a loss for words to explain to her the severity of her actions and how different it would be if our genders were reversed. Sexual encroachment is probably a good phrase for it.
I think it is quite hard to separate the brats from the more intelligent kids as from what I heard the "symptoms" are basically the same. I also think that there is a big problem with special education since the differences tend to either taper off or increase, and you can not really know if this is thanks to the child or the program they are following.

deja vu over and over again
I'm serious (even if it may not sound like it). COM is a fantastic platform, because it provides simple and efficient interoperability between language runtimes.

But code written for tracing GCs cannot be automatically transformed into COM's (or any) reference counting scheme. And that's why we have this endless tug of war between those who want to build on top of COM versus those who want to build on top of .NET.

It's not just a Microsoft problem either. Our industry has been wasting a ton of resources on duplicating everything for a bunch of different languages/runtimes and it's all either because of GC incompatibility or license incompatibility.

It's not a minor problem even if there are more important problems in the grand scheme of things is what I'm saying.

I've been using Python since 1.5 and I feel like the language itself has been feature-complete for some time. In the 2.0 era, the big pain points were async and unicode; as demonstrated by, well, how painful Twisted's unicode was. ;)

But now if our big paint point is assigning a variable to len(), then in two lines evaluating that variable and printing it out, Python is just trying to find stuff to add.

I miss the size and simplicity of old Python. :/
I am designing financial software for the crypto industry and I definitely prefer the ability to 1) have a high test coverage, and 2) quickly be able to write regression tests. Without dependency injection with mockable objects, that would not be possible.

ZFS on root enables you to have boot environments, which is a functionality originally found on Solaris. Not that they're in scope for this initial implementation in Ubuntu, but they could be built on top.
Furthermore, ZFS protects you from bitrot via multiple copies or RAIDZ or at least lets you know bitrot occurred (scrub). It lets you resize the dataset (I tend to undersize partitions such as /boot). I could probably think of other reasons as well, but this would be enough for me.
If the study is based on a comparisons between mensans and the general population, I can think of confounding factors that should make it impossible to draw these conclusions.

It is the same story for C++ and Java and they aren't going to die.

The more popular a language gets, the more critics it receives. Partly happens because you will see more mistakes and bad quality code which also reveals bad design decisions in the language itself.

Some languages have more quirks, especially if they are older and tend to stay backward compatible.

Scala was known as a well-designed language (I believe still is) but as the community has grown, the number of complainers also has grown at the same speed. we learned people can write horrible code with implicit conversions.

But you need those critics to detect anti-patterns, and bad APIs and hopefully either the language itself or some libraries will fix it for everyone.

Probably not but it is in my opinion very nice to have the ability to mock evertyhing if and when you need it.

Mark, your writings have really helped me to understand the redux landscape (inasmuch as I do), so I'd be curious to know what you think of this, if you've seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmnsEvoy-gY ("Good Action Hygiene with NgRx", Mike Ryan, NGConf April 2018)

The context is ngrx but the territory is familiar. Two things struck me in particular: one (the key point of the talk) is the idea that actions should be named as effects not intentions. The other (which I loved) is the idea of having action types that look like (say) "[Todo List Page] Add Todo Clicked" rather than "ADD_TODO" — it certainly makes the history more legible in redux-devtools. (I'm unsure how to name my consts then, though; I'm going with TODO_LIST_PAGE_ADD_TODO_CLICKED but it's very verbose; in the video it looks like he's not bothering with consts at all, and is just using the strings directly at dispatch and reduce time, and maybe there's something in that — the strings are specific enough that there'd be no scope for confusion, I guess.)

Just wondered what you thought of all this? I've read your idiomatic redux series, but maybe your thoughts have moved on since then...

I'm hearing a lot of praise for PHP frameworks such as Laravel, but I'm not sure PHP should strive to become more like RoR and Node.js. Rather, PHP's unique selling point, for me anyway, is its use as embedded language in otherwise static HTML pages via SGMLish processing instructions (`<?php ...>`), and I think there's nothing wrong with that even with the current preference towards Ajax and (micro)services. It's just that embedded PHP did such an incredibly poor job (like, not even an attempt) of preventing injection attacks despite SGML having very strong mechanisms for context-dependent escaping and markup validation. Which has given PHP its bad rep as a botnet/DDOS vector, and deservedly so since this has become a long-standing problem for PHP and non-PHP sites alike.

Sure it's sad when anyone dies but I never agreed with Bloom's view of literature. He was unbearably snobby about his tastes and thought anything popular was shit and the coming of the end of literature. See his thoughts on Harry Potter, Stephen King, Tolkien, etc. Basically he was living in the past.

He was also incredibly biased towards English language books and had barely read any Eastern or African literature. Not to mention his general bias against anything written in the last 20 years, I seem to remember him saying that there were only three authors in the last 20 years who wrote a good book...
> In contrast, the channels that have large production crews and publish more regularly usually feel thin on content. There is either very little value to the information or the density of information is incredibly low. There are exceptions. Vox comes to mind because they clearly respect their audience, has many more people involved in production, and produces more polished videos.

I can sum up the situation with two sentences:

I hate writing Win32 apps, but I love using them.
I love writing .NET apps but I hate using them.

The problem with Win32 apps is that although they look ugly, in general they're blazing fast and work basically everywhere. The problem with .NET apps is although they're aesthetically pleasing, they require the relevant version of the framework to be installed. I remember fighting with installing a .NET-based driver installer that insisted on installing an ancient version of .NET that Windows wouldn't allow to install. Win32 support is still universal.
> Most IQ tests only go up to 145.
