Complaining about virtue signaling is sanctimony. It is inherently hypocritical, besides. Saying, "this is good, so I do it" is fundamentally more meaningful than, "this is good, so you should do it". The latter is sanctimony.

We may contrast actual virtue signaling with, e.g., Gwyneth Paltrow scams, which the ill-equipped may confuse with it.

It sounds like the ease of using AWS means the technical staff capability has atrophied. If you're doing on prem all the time it isn't an issue. Of course you have to have the scale to have a tech staff, including not losing critical capability when someone leaves.

On prem cloud is still mayhem, VMWare is very very bad, Openstack is baroque. Moving anything from AWS or Azure to on prem cloud would be very frustrating.
Given that GDP/capita is not only correlated but causually related to many wellness factors in society, it much more likely not simply a correlation. These connections are well studied - check through google scholar is you really want to dig into it.

More GDP/capita means more resources to fight things like homelessness.

Well yes, there are plenty of ways we are unlike BNW. I see those things are plot devices to explore the deeper concepts of: lack of individuality / self-determination, increase in use of contraception, increase in diversion and hedonism, trivialising of religion, ostracising of those that will not conform, etc. He takes all these things to extremes, yes, but I think our own society is moving in that direction more than moving in Orwell's.

Just consider the Facebook newsfeed. Do you think the false headlines, or the memes and reaction videos scattered throughout, have more of an effect on people's inaction to perceived injustice? People won't react any differently to a headline that claims one things or the other. That's Huxley's prediction right there.

I can add F# projects to existing solutions and use F# in some places, C# in others, and C++ in still others, heck even VB.NET can come by for a drink if I'm feeling shameless and not needing to keep up appearances.

OCaml cannot do that. I say this as someone who currently is finishing a year of F# study with plans to study Rust in 2020 and OCaml in 2021.
You can always switch to the original - the OCaml language.
I disagree about ownership being the big break through, I’d argue it’s the concept of multiple aliasing and handling that at the syntactic level through the borrow checker that leads to all the safety guarantees of Rust.

I believe Git to be actually part of the 2nd than the first group.

Linus built the working prototype/self-hosted in 3 days mixing a lot of his learnings from bit-keeper and his knowledge of disk management [1].

To me, that's rapid prototyping. It's enough domain knowledge to make it work for himself well. He didn't spend a bunch of time thinking nor coming up with solution since he was actively building Linux at the time. The key is he employed the help of others to build Git and eventually take it over since he wanted to focus on Linux.

This all comes with a huge caveat in that Linus's 3 days == 1000 of mine. His 'just enough' knowledge is near expert level.

As others have asked, what are you trying to build? A technical solution or an end-user solution.

Technical solutions do require a lot more domain knowledge than a twitter/airbnb (at the early stages).

In the end, I believe in rapid prototyping and failing fast[2]. Learn just enough, whether technical or end-consumer to launch fast.

The thing I agree 100% is though, don't break user-space [3]. I believe this applies to end users of products, whether developers or customers. Once people start consuming something, don't break it. Doesn't matter whether you believe it to be 'correct' or a 'bug'. Expectation management of slow and easy depreciation.

I switched a couple of times to DDG, and the first few false starts I remember coming away from that thinking Google was just better. This time around, DDG stuck. While DDG has been steadily improving, I think the quality of google results has steadily worsened significantly. The focus on top of the page answers and other changes seem to favor commerce vs information. I was recently researching home WiFi gear reviews and google was adamant that I was actually trying to buy WiFi gear. DDG has some of those results, but I also noticed that actual reviews and forum posts were returned instead of amazon and Best Buy links.
I used to really like them. I had a driver (sorry I don't remember the name) that looked like a type of markdown that made use of "in between" carriage shifts in order to increase the dot density, and thus output significantly better fonts.

For example, to bold something, you toggled with a .b (dot-bee). I don't remember how you un-bolded though, but it was similar. Same goes for underline, and also choosing entirely different fonts, font sizes, italics, super/subscript etc. Suddenly the printer that made all that blocky print normally, looked great as long as you didn't mind it taking more than twice the amount of time to print out.

It made amazingly good looking documents that wouldn't pass the muster at all since the invention of bubble and laser jets. Those were the days.

I very much dislike environmental noise (ASD and all), but for whatever reason I really kinda liked the intermittently steady drone that constantly changed pitches, and the occasional squawking that came along with it.

It's always a tricky messaging problem, as the people who need a physicist have no idea that they exist. They think they need an engineer, or an analyst, or a problem-solver, but the idea that experimental physicists might fit the bill rarely comes up without a human-networking connection.

The other challenge is at my end, as I'm trying to remain a scientist at heart -- very few applications are limited by the fundamentals of nature. The trick is finding someone working on a problem that advances, in an absolute sense, human progress. Have a real shot at quantum computing? I'm in. Have a demonstrable shot at eradicating polio, improving desalinization, or helping people authenticate news-sources online? Sounds good, let's do it.

Disagree. For example, indexes are an optimization mechanism which tune the SQL engine for your data set and queries. Creating and planning indexes are outside the scope of your SELECT query, but can give a dramatic performance difference, with the exact same SQL query.

> Peluse answered that question in a counterintuitive way — by thinking about exactly what it would take for a set of numbers not to contain the pattern you’re looking for.

Proof by contradiction isn't that counter intuitive.

And it's utterly bizarre that this article doesn't explain that this technique is proof by contradiction, or give an example of what it is. The proof that the square root of two can't be expressed as a ratio of integers (hence is not-ratio-able, or irrational) is approachable by highschool freshmen, and would add so much to the article.

There is no character in EUC-JP or Shift-JIS that is not in Unicode--the explicit goal of Unicode in its original formulation was to be able to losslessly round-trip any other charset through Unicode, and the initial version of Unicode incorporated the source kanji lists for the EUC-JP/Shift-JIS charsets in their entirety.
Because of the way floating point numbers work, you'd get an accurate amount for both cases, as it's really the number of significant figures, not decimals.

I bought microSD reader off Amazon, which has two dongle ends, one USB type A for a computer, one Lightning, for my iPhone. According to the included instructions, it required me to download an app (from the Apple app store) to use on the the iPhone. I didn't trust the App, even with Apple's scans, so I ended up using it with my already-owned Camera Connection Kit (Lightning to USB Host) adapter just fine. The name of the app was something very similar, if not identical, to that name, which is what reminded me of it.

It seems fishy that the Apple provided Files app didn't recognized my SD card

Interesting comments. Wanted to add some thoughts from an insurance guy view:

>> Instead, I'd recommend seeing brokers as external salespeople. If you make a product that is easy to explain and sell, and develop a first-class broker experience (receiving commissions, viewing book of business, CRMing with clients), they will actively convince their clients to switch to you at that one time each year. Brokers already have a rapport of trust with their clients, that you can leverage, even as an upstart, to win market share.

I think there are two (or more) positive aspects to the Vouch approach:

1. Vouch's distribution is fueled (in part) by relationships with investors (e.g. YC). YC's twice-yearly batch is a wonderful source of start-up business. I don't by any means think it is the only source of business, but that relationship is a positive for Vouch. I've not been through YC but imagine they're happy to recommend Vouch to the folks they're coaching through the year.

2. Intermediaries are rightly lambasted for many reasons, but I think it's silly to assume that the entities that control distribution are doomed. I agree with you that brokers can be valuable, but I think their value to Vouch is different. It isn't to help funnel business in the door (though perhaps that will come), but instead they are partners that can help Vouch scale its offering as start-ups grow and require more complex insurance. Vouch helps create a distribution channel the brokers today don't do a great job servicing, and it enables the business of those brokers when/if the underlying businesses are ready.

Same for me. I find that Google has gotten worse for me over the last two years, and switched to duck-duck-go. It feels like Google is trying to control me and my searches more than it used to. I like my search engine being a tool, not my mom.

The Low-Code vs. No-Code Platform Dilemma
It feels like social media breeds you to know that anything you say or do can come back to you as a "viral" moment, whether it be on sites like Twitter or Reddit (r/IdiotsInCars has surged in popularity) or in real life since it's as hard as ever to separate your online presence from your regular life.
I mean, how often do you place the four characters "TODO" in your code when you don't mean to mark a TODO? The only common English word I know of that contains that substring is "mastodon", and it'd have to be all-caps.
I love the look of SN and their vision but its seems like if you start using any of the paid features that you are pretty much held hostage forever.

like the folders feature for organising your notes. what if for some reason you don't have the funds to pay next time your subscription is up, do you just go back to having thousands of notes without any organisation?

I pay for dynalist even though I don't need the premium features but because I want to support the devs and hopefully decrease the change of the service disappearing in the fir future. but it nice to know if I can't afford it for a year or two that I can still use service without having any drawbacks

Hi Mats (or do you prefer Matsemann?),

I am an engineer on Google Search.

Sorry to hear about your experiences; I would like to better understand the issues that you're seeing and reproduce them on my end, so that I can file detailed bug reports for the folks working on those features. I would appreciate your help if you're open to that.

First, I compared Firefox on Android with Chrome on Android for a few queries and they seem to get very similar results (but we are likely using different queries). Would you be able to provide some sample queries where Firefox was receiving the results that led you to change its user agent and get different results?

I also visited several AMP pages on Firefox from Google search results (Reddit and BBC) and they were all scrollable, so it's likely that we're looking at different sites as well. Can you tell me which sites' AMP pages were non-scrollable for you?

Regarding the poor results for Norwegian searches: I wasn't getting the problematic URL for this query; will try reproducing this again later. If you have any other search queries for which the Norwegian results are bad (or have been declining in quality over time), if you're able, please share them with me as well: either here, or if you prefer, you can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Thanks in advance!
You either feel smart by wondering why people don't use rationals, or feel smart by wondering why people use rationals.
I wonder what the level of awareness of this is in the nonprofit community itself. Something like the National Council of Nonprofits would seem to be in a good position to file a suit or at least raise awareness among its members who might be interested in forming a class.

While a major charity like the Salvation Army certainly doesn’t care if a single, sub-$100 annual expense doubles or even goes up by a factor of ten, thousands of small organizations across the country might care enough to band together and take action.
Your idea that either there are NO "nits to pick" (things that could have been done better in a standard, complete perfection), OR it means that the standards-makers "decided to make it complicated to bolster their egos" -- is ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

You are absolutely right.

When adding numbers with large magnitudes differences (around 10^17 I think) it might exceed the format precision. I should have taken that in account when defining the error boundaries.

In dollars, you start having issues with cents when working with a tens of trillions.

For the vast majority of people this won't be an issue.
In the case of .org, non-uniform renewal pricing is only allowed if "the applicable registrant expressly agreed in its registration agreement with registrar to higher Renewal Pricing at the time of the initial registration of the domain name following clear and conspicuous disclosure of such Renewal Pricing to such registrant"

So Ethos wouldn't be able to screw over existing registrants with non-uniform renewal pricing.

‘Remove’ is too strong, since Unicode is entrenched. But there are things that should have been done differently. For instance, combining characters and operators should have been placed before the base character rather than after, so that (a) it would be possible to know when you've reached the end of a character^W glyph^W grapheme cluster without reading ahead, and (b) dead keys would be identical to the corresponding characters.

ASCII (1967) allowed for them: c BS , or , BS c ↦ ç and e BS ' or ' BS e ↦ é. Encoding ç as 63 CC A7 is not manifestly better than encoding it as 63 08 2C.
Try doing some simple joins, subqueries, unions, etc., and you’ll quickly see why. If you’re able to find the correct incantation, you’ll quickly see that the Django ORM builds awful queries that perform horribly. I’ve found the Django ORM to make simple things hard and hard things harder.

>From that perspective, Western democracies have really struggled to assimilate their long history of toppling other nations and benefiting from their resources into the cultural framework

I think that's a post internet thing. Pre-internet most of us got all of our historical information from school, and there weren't places like Twitter or Facebook to spread what were previously dismissed as fairy tales.

I certainly wouldnt have been aware of much of the shitty "world building" that the US goes around doing without having visited some of the internet's scummiest corners in the last decade or so. It's actually amazing to see how much of this has trickled into the mainstream as it became acceptable discourse on more mainstream places like Reddit and eventually FB and such.

I mean sure, you had things like Vietnam which were polarizing along this very dividing line, but the average person was fed a different set of spin on much of what they ultimately grew up learning, and I think that may have played a role in American Exceptionalism. Nowadays people, especially young people, tend to be far less patriotic and I would attribute this apathy or even disdain for at least part of the current breakdown in political discourse and ostensible early decline stage of the American Empire. Of course it's worth saying that much of this divide falls neatly along left/right as critics/apologists of/for American realpolitik.
