Whenever I write the word "just" in this context, I go back to see if the sentence can work (and be more-positive) without it. Most of the time, it can.

Somehow, it is helpful to write the "just" in order to get the sentence out, but it appears to be a temporary crutch to get the idea on paper. It is in the same category as, "it should be noted that" for me -- temporary scaffolding to get an idea on paper that can be later removed.

In my opinion the two organizations making the most direct impact today are the World Food Programme (run by the United Nations, providing food to areas stricken by famine and war etc. https://www.wfp.org ) and Doctors Without Borders (aka MSF providing medical care to those most in need https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org ). There are a variety of water charities doing good work also. What's more immediately important than water, food, and health care?
Hmm, in most embedded processors I know (e.g., the ESP8266/32 [0], RPi's BMC2835 [1], or Ti's MSP430 [2]), you send the line down for reset but hold it high for running (either by internal pull-up or by actually holding the line).

I learned English in about a year after having failed to make any progress in ten odd years of learning the language formally through school. The secret sauce is (1) completely ignore grammar, (2) never have your mistakes corrected and (3) just look up every word you don't know.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a motivation for reading English text in the first place and wanting to understand it. If you don't have that motivation you won't have any lasting success.

Though, I know of methods that allow you to learn any language in six weeks, but it involves talking to a native speaker.
Less emphasis on testing, more emphasis on functioning through life, conflict management, more democratic driven schools where students can participate in the process of formulating goals.

There are 27 variations of the capital letter A in Unicode (see the confusable list https://unicode.org/cldr/utility/confusables.jsp?a=A&r=None).

Redundancy has never been a problem with Unicode. After the decision was made to add the symbols of the original encoding to the list of Unicode characters, they had to add all heart variation, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to be backward compatible.

Or alternatively add a color modifier? I'm not sure that would have been a better solution.

>What I remember from reading about the 2008 financial crisis isn't that bankers were incompetent. It's that various parties started packaging up financial instruments to make them look like less risky instruments, so that they could be sold to suckers.

First of all, I disagree: I think risk mispricing ("House prices can't fall across the country"), or incompetence, was the big problem.

But suckers get suckered every day. If big money-runners can't be bothered to understand what they are buying, I don't feel sorry for them.

>Then they insured themselves against those instruments blowing up.

This is standard financial practice. Why would they hold a huge, one-sided bet on the housing market on their books?

we've reached a point where we can wage war with way WAY less people and way more taxpayer money so the number of folks who want to go to war or who support war doesn't really matter. The draft is an outdated concept. You'll always have people who want to go into the army for the welfare.

I am an older fart and my preference for my own products is C/C++/Delphi/FreePascal for servers/desktop and JavaScript for web front. I program in many other languages as well but mostly because clients require them. In the latter case it is a consulting job and the last thing I care about is how their favorite languages are managed. It is their choice and I am here to take their money, not to judge their preferences. Advising client to use particular language instead of their favorites is straight road to disappointment.
It has nothing to do with the update speed and everything to do with the standard itself.

I've been keeping a journal for about 4 years now. I try to write every 2-3 about anything and everything: ideas, habits, my feelings, events that happened, things that come to mind. I find it's an amazing tool for introspection and has made me much more aware of what I'm worried about.

I've written about this in more detail here: https://jborichevskiy.com/posts/journaling/

When I try to imagine my ideal journaling tool, I think it would be a desktop (and mobile) app with two distinct modes:

1. Distraction-free, focused entry. A blank entry and a blinking cursor. This is great for very open-ended writing where I have no idea where it will go - just stream of consciousness and following it. Usually in this mode I'm in a comfortable, quiet environment (my room at night, coffee shop, hotel).

2. Ideation/connection/writing mode. This is a hypothesis I've been meaning to test in more detail but I'd be curious to have a mode where as soon as I type a word or a phrase, I instantly see previous references to this top float up from below, links and references I've saved to the right, email discussions I've mentioned it in, tweets I've liked about it. Basically, frictionless access to other thoughts and formulations of the idea I'm thinking about to make writing about it easier. I don't know if this would actually help matters, but I am curious to try (or build) something like it.
If you keep important photos on your phone and don't back them up, the brutal truth is -- it's your fault if you lose them.

She could have just as easily lost her phone in a car, or had it break. So this seems entirely irrelevant.

And yes, of course Google wiped her phone: if you're not actively working there, you're not allowed to have access to your past business emails that have been cached, photos of whiteboard drawings you took at the end of meetings, offline copies of strategic Docs, Sheets, and Slides, etc. and other resources that are stored on your phone.

If you use the same device for work and personal, this is just what happens.
Congrats on the sale! Came here with the same comment. My wife has an online store for clothing/fashion and does it now manually to detect trends, think: "megan markle jacket". This tool would be super useful and save a lot of time.

Btw. is the possibility of adding new topics currently down? Nothing seem to happen when clicking "Add a topic".
Wow, I missed this. How cringe-inducing!
So if you take a photo with the default camera app, is that put into the area that gets wiped, or the area that doesn't?

If photos would be put in the area that doesn't get wiped, any idea what the quote is about?

Well, strictly speaking Tridactyl can do this. They overwrite your empty tab with their own so Tridactyl works there too and you can 'd' the tab.
Going Cloud Native with LoopBack 4
First of all, do we know why other countries are outperforming us? Especially countries with similar socioeconomic and cultural norms, like Canada?

Second, why do we insist that a single number is going to usefully assess the many skills being learned? Or that any single metric, however informative, should be applied across all the many subgroups that make up a large population like the US? Why the hell don't we stratify students and policies and regions and then compare only across pairs across strata? Only in that way can you learn what works and what don't.

We should be breaking down these numbers by student socioeconomic group, by state, by county, by school district, by education policy, by gender, so that we can compare results within the US to see how different policies on similar student groups turns out, and similar policies on different student groups.

What works and what doesn't? After 70(?) years of standard tests, it seems we still have no idea. We're never going to learn anything useful from any kind of testing if we don't 1) partition the parameter space better, and 2) ask simple (actionable) questions of the results.

Likewise, we need to break ourselves of the insistence that a single education policy is best for all students everywhere in the US. Geez. Let different states propose their own experimental design and then assess the results of their different strokes. Supposedly that's what governance at the state level was for, ever since 1789.

Comparing the US to other countries using a single metric sounds like the least useful way to improve US students.

Just block all of facebook and their CDNs. Problem solved.

Sure, that also kills facebook access, so two birds with one stone!
My best guess would be that more people buy external drives than internal, and those that "manufacture" external drives (ie - buy internal drives and repackage them) purchase in larger volumes than those that sell bare internal drives.

Of course, that wouldn't explain the difference between a WD external drive and that same drive as an internal drive - assuming that WD actually manufactures both (and doesn't just license the name provided the 3rd party uses their drives)...

MMT Heaven and MMT Hell for Chinese Investment and U.S. Fiscal Spending
In OOP, unlike FP, immutability is an implementation detail, not a requirement. I'm trying to be gentle about this, but your insistence is becoming tiresome. Again, just do a search and inform yourself. I'm not going to patronize you by listing the numerous links/resources that clarify the above distinction.

>The problem is associated with modularity problems grouping two primitives together into a single entity

>If that method was never unionized with state, if we used smaller subdivisions in our code where state and functions are separate entities then this would be much less of a problem

>all the problems of realizing how to divide or unionize services and state in microservices are exact same problems that existed when trying to figure out what methods belong with what object in OOP

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you argument, but I understand "the problem[s]" above (your words) to be a matter of organization not implementation -- I see no reference to mutability.

I don't have to be wrong about this. `noun.verb` doesn't have to be materially different than `verb(noun)` for the validity of your point to hold about the difficulties of designing and distributing systems being the major obstacle and that abstracting the server model into code being more pragmatic than abstracting the code into the server model.

I am simply clarifying that you can create the same problems with organization in FP as OOP. That is, you can write a function with the wrong signature just the same as you can put a method on the wrong object. Modelling a domain happens before any code is written (theoretically). There is nothing inherent in either paradigm that forces a developer to synthesize a useful abstraction of the functional requirements of their system any better than the other one.

If anything I am _strengthening_ your argument.

The ACLU, because our civil rights are seemingly continuously under attack.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, because hate groups are enjoying a resurgence under the current administration, and I want to live in an inclusive society.

Planned Parenthood, because women’s rights are human rights, and we all should be concerned for women’s health. (And again, these rights are under attack under the current regime.)

Mozilla, because they support the kind of technology and the kind of tech industry I believe in.
Every day on Freenode in various programming related channels, and to talk with friends.

I mainly use it to talk with friends but I do occasionally ask questions and answer questions in the public channels I'm in. I sometimes skim the channels for a bit when I'm tabbed into my IRC client.

I started on IRC back in the late 90s / early 00s on the Enter The Game network, mainly for Quake. I haven't joined that network in forever tho.
The main difference customers are seeing due to PSD2 is revised 2FA for online banking apps, which for the most part is good because the new measures arguably are more secure.

However, in terms of data access they create another obstacle because while previously you could at least do screen scraping for automatically retrieving data that option is no longer available either because a human being has to interact with the bank-issued 2FA device / mobile app.

The bank I use actually provides an API now: https://developer.commerzbank.com/en

I'll have to delve further into the documentation to see if it suits my needs.

Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe, there's hope yet after all :-)
The most unassuming movie I was recommended, but turned out to be spectacular: Upgrade. I read somewhere the producers had really low expectations for this movie as it is low budget and not about comic book superheroes. Apparently, there are no plans for the 2nd installment. But, imho, creative camerawork, beautiful cinematography and wild choreography put it anywhere above and beyond most any superhero flick out now.

The movie that shattered any expectations I had for it: Enter Nowhere. I stumbled upon it on Amazon Prime, thought the synopsis was somewhat interesting and went into watching it with extremely low expectations (the title is crap, the poster is crap, it has Clint Eastwood's son with wooden expression throughout the movie). But this movie turned out to be a trippy puzzle unlike what we are used to (Cube, Saw, Escape Room). Instead of wealthy people with kinky(?) sense of entertainment and insane philosophers, it has something to do with WW2. Unusual.

Low budget movie that takes place in a single room, yet won't bore you even for a second: Circle. It's a survival game movie where predicting the outcome of the game is half the fun. Blew all my expectations out the park. I watched a lot of survival movies of late and this is one of the (very few) best.

The movies that deserved all their hype: Arrival, It, Us, Annihilation. In Arrival I loved the design of aliens, their environment, the way the linguist tries to decipher their language and the final twist. One negative is how the movie deals with geopolitics - it's crude and laughable. For a movie led by kids, It (the movie) is really a solid one. It is polished like a huge budget superhero flick, but also, uh, literate and entertaining. Us is a beautiful, very slick movie that pops in your face. It has a couple of interesting twists and some funny bits. Refreshing break from the regular Hollywood fare(schlock). That said, Us is riddled with holes as if someone shot at it from a semi. But even with that it's fun to watch as Hollywood doesn't make movies like Us often (only on special occasions?). Annihilation is gorgeous. Period. The set design is a work of art and I love the subject matter. Again, H'wood doesn't dabble in this sort of stuff very often. The move signals the ending twist half-way through, but I am not sure it's even a twist. This movie doesn't end with a bang as it's all about the process. To me it is a meditation on research, often frustrating and unsuccessful (though, the linguist in Arrival was very much successful in her endeavor :) The soundtrack is unusual (and beautiful) for this kind of movie (although the movie itself is unusual). I love the sound design in all these four movies. Really attractive.

Among the memorable shorts (I watch a lot of them; I can recall many, but can't remember their titles) I saw are The Gun Fighter [0], Paradox (try solving the problem in the movie before it ends)[1], Thresher [2], Rakka [3].

What are the legal implications for Mozilla with this? Hand waving that all the technology is available outside the US doesn't absolve Mozilla from Liability or Legal obligations in the US or anywhere else it's offering the service.

To avoid the ambiguity between the two primary intents, I always phrase the question as "I assume there was a reason you didn't [x]?" That puts any possible idiocy on my end for not immediately seeing the reason [x] wasn't done, while also giving them a chance to explain their thought process. And it also gives them credit through implication that I assume they thought of it.
>We all know what happened 2 years later.

The savings and loan fiasco of the late 80s saw over 1000 banks fail in 10 years.
That just sounds passive aggressive to me. At the end of the day, I think it’s best to say what you mean directly, but still in the nicest way possible instead of trying to beat around the bush.

I’d go with “I think X might work better here - is there a reason you didn’t use it?” - because the answer might just be “oh, I didn’t think of that, cool, I’ll do it that way”. Whereas your question implies that they should have thought of it, which could be perceived as an underhanded insult if they didn’t.

Hangul normalization and collation is broken in Unicode, albeit for slightly different reasons. The Unicode Collation Algorithm explictly devotes two sections related to Hangul; the first section, for "trailing weights" [1], is recommended for the detailed explanation.

The Unicode Text Segmentation standard [2] explicitly mentions that Indic aksaras [3] require the tailoring to grapheme clusters. Depending on the view, you can also consider orthographic digraphs as examples (Dutch "ij" is sometimes considered a single character for example).
