Its not just the college but a program. #1 thing no one told 18 year old me that I wish they had- a mathematics degree (for example) from generic state university will pretty much get you the same job interviews as a fancy school degree will. Because employers respect the fact that Mathematics is hard wherever you do it. An Economics degree from nowhere gets you pretty much nothing while a Ivy Econ degree will get you into consulting or banking, and even more so for pure humanities. The less technical the material the more work the reputation of the school has to do.
> what I want is a language that comes with something to produce independent executable files as part of its basic tooling

Worth noting that the Fman Build System (fbs)¹ gets you most of the way there with Python and Qt5, allowing you to "freeze" a PyQt5 application and automatically generate a Windows installer. I don't recall of the top of my head if there's a way to condense that into a single standalone executable, but it certainly produces a single folder by default (which you can stick anywhere, like any other "portable" Windows app).

I haven't used this in production yet, but testing it has been promising enough, and I'm using this for my next desktop development project.

I know you feel like they have done you wrong. But .network is not even a blip on the radar. This TLD represents less than 1/10 of 1 percent of all domains. I don't know how little it actually is as it does not even appear on TDL share reporting sites. It could in fact be far less than that.

On the other hand, Internet Explorer 6 still enjoys at LEAST 10x the user base of your TDL.

How much is reasonable for a company to invest to support less than 0.001 of their potential user base?
Oooh that's a good idea for the URL's!

I couldn't even believe I read that, the facebook timeline is easily the worst web UI out there.

The best part is when you follow a link from your timeline, then press the back button. With any normal website, you'd be back at the same position in the page where you were before. With Facebook, not only do I not get that, I get what seems to be a random position in the timeline.
Interesting. I wonder what design they'll come up with. The thread links to a tweet from Moxie from a few months ago, which (along with some other tweets in the thread) is interesting to think about:

https://twitter.com/moxie/status/1174047779267604480

In theory they could keep using the native contact list and just stuff Signal usernames in there; iOS does have the APIs to do that, and I'd assume Android too.

I'm pretty sure that the minority of consumers who care about performance is much bigger than the % who are buying electric cars today. There's a lot more to the car market than the most popular thing.
I've said this a couple times before, but my hope is that it's worth repeating here. For a device to eschew the PC it must support direct development.

Web development is great and remote compilation is straight magic; I'm not trying to minimize either. However, if I can't build software for my device on my device then I'll need a PC to supplement the device claiming to be the PC replacement.

I don't think that's a fair judgement.

The Wikipedia page that you linked to lists 192 very specific types of cognitive bias; even if the information of the article were directly derived from the Wikipedia page, the author still managed to distilled 192 entries down to 7 categories.

In addition, the article also has advice on how to avoid jumping to conclusions, and deal with people who tend to jump to conclusions. Those are clearly not derived from the link you provided.

Edit: typo (conclusion --> conclusions).
It doesn't "exactly" work that way. The instance doesn't disappear after the request is served. It hangs around in case there's another request (for a while), but you only pay while the request is active. In practice "cold starts" are single-digit percentage of most common workloads (# of requests that are cold). Also FWIW it's not just scale to 0. Scaling any number of instances up will hit cold starts, the difference is this happens automatically versus fixed cluster sizes which have to either be pre-provisioned for peak, or tend toward much slower scale up times.

Your back button brings you back to the top of the timeline?

I'm kind of jealous, mine brings me back to what seems to be a completely random position.
I'm going to keep digging this hole for myself because I think there is some amount of treasure to be found. I'm also interested to see how far out of touch I am.

There are tiers of conversation. Letters between famously literate people or during times of war have a value proposition on an entirely different scale to group chat messages.

It's about the value that the individual assigns to the content of the conversation (this is almost arguing against my stated position). But if that conversation is never re-visited anyway, the value is the status of Schroedinger's cat.

What content that is worthy of "Letters of note" is a) to be found in chat history? b) not already been saved elsewhere due to it's noteworthiness? c) going to be re-discovered by going back through hundreds or thousands of lines of conversation text on a mobile device screen? d) worth trawling back through hundreds or thousands of lines of conversation text on a mobile device screen?

Again, I'm aware that I'm an exception, but I think it's potentially natural human laziness to want to keep 'everything' in case it might be useful or valuable in a few years' time. Electronic hoarding.

I've recently setup an instance of NoteSelf to more easily track links to interesting articles and my own thoughts and ideas and various other things that I think are worthy of keeping. This is my form of targeted electronic hoarding. I'm in control of it, and it's robust enough to survive a mobile device theft, breakage, or some other kind of failure. Prior to that I write things down in journals, or other systems, some of which have been totally lost, but I don't find myself missing it or 'wondering what could have been'.

It feels as if the point that I'm trying to make is that mindful archiving is a better solution than to just 'keep all the things' - for me, primarily, it's the far improved wheat / chaff ratio.

Conversation is connection. Yes. But recorded conversation is just a reminder of connection, not the connection itself. I think my argument falls down when it comes to someone that's passed away, and keeping their flame alive to some extent. I don't work like that, but I wouldn't expect it of others.
Hold up. I know college is like that for some people, but not everyone. I pretty much never partied and spent my time studying at the library. I wouldn't have been able to usefully work on Rust without a lot of the PL theory that I learned at university—is Rust just "shallow ideas"? Before learning PLT I thought that the C type system was all anyone needed. I sure wasn't going to write an H-M style typechecker—the original version of which I wrote for rustc—for fun on my own time. (And I did end up with a decent knowledge of Aristotle, too.)

Are there too many people who get in to Ivy League schools just to party? Sure. But fixing that problem—which I agree is worth fixing—need not involve burning higher education to the ground and depriving those who are actually going to get use out of it.
Fast food is engineered to hit all the sweet spots that our primate brains desire. No matter how delicious my asparagus or salad can be it's difficult to compete with a Quarter Pounder.
You really misunderstood me. I didn’t claim anything about white people; I gave a hypothetical scenario. And that hypothetical scenario wasn’t about white people facing discrimination for higher meth usage, only that such an inequitable distribution of meth usage seems to satisfy TFA’s definition for structural racism. The fact that it seems implausible to say so suggests the definition is not especially useful.
Yes, but in general I do agree it is important to be weary of services. Not specifically mine.

I'm certainly not suggesting applying generated diff scripts without reviewing them!

In fact, probably the main benefit of the diff approach is that you can rigorously test the outcome, and explicitly confirm a matching schema will result.
> The reason the economy recovered was Reagan.

But...it didn't recover for most people, whatever broad aggregate figures without distributional measures suggest. Reagan drove the nail in the coffin of the long post-WWII broad-based prosperity, and put the lie to the slogan favored by his campaign that a rising tide lifts all boats. Rather than trickling down, the gains in the economy since (and including) the Reagan years have been captured by an ever narrowing elite. And that's a direct result of government policy, centrally (though not exclsuively) tax policy, starting with the great tax shift under which Reagan oversaw, back to back, the largest tax cut in US history (on progressive taxes) and the largest tax increase in US history (on regressive payroll taxes.)
No, Steve would correctly point out that the supplied cable isn’t for connecting to a computer, it’s to charge the phone or dock with a car.

Yes, but also you can't leave a digital sensor collecting for two hours, the pixels start saturating and the noise builds up- not like film, which can do truly long exposures.
Curious as to why having an external IP/URL is a problem. If you're using almost any cloud service that has an API for adminstration (e.g. an API to tear down a VM), then is that really different to a public endpoint secured with platform-managed authentication? (which Cloud Run provides). Is it because you need firewall rules?

There was a range of transputer addons and dedicated systems all the way up to the very pretty and very expensive Meiko Computing Surface[1] with something like 100 (300? honestly can't remember) transputers in it. It seemed, for a while, like they were being shoehorned into everything. There was a distinct belief that transputers were the way the future was going. I think the expectation was before too long everything would gain a set of transputers as replacement to a single one thread CPU, or in addition to, much like machines gained graphics cards.

Seem to remember there was once a dedicated page with pictures, could be mistaken, but if there was it's been deleted. Such is Wikipedia "progress".
There are billions of Apple devices now. Just having one is a very weak correlation to any particular action that a marketer is interested in.

So I pay for YouTube Premium. I also have a Twitch Turbo, a Netflix 4k family, a Disney+ bundle with enhanced Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, Spotify Premium, and I'm sure others I'm forgetting. I also have a few of my favorite creators on Patreon directly. I donate more monthly to free/open software than I spend on licensed software/games. Am I really giving the shaft to the content because I want to skip the ad segment or are they giving me the shaft for trying to force ads on me even though I've already paid for the content twice?

I don't want to hear your catchy jingle, get your brand stuck in my head, or hear about the same damn 3 services 1000 times. I just want to pay for content and watch it. It's not possible without something like this.

Is everybody using this service like me? No. That doesn't make them wrong either though, it's not like there was an alternative option they could have picked that would have let them avoid these segments "officially".

It sure does seem that glass could be put to use. Ignoring food-safe containers and windows, there are still many things that could use it.

Consider bricks, both traditional and in the style of the typical concrete block. These could be glass. There are many options for making them: full melt, sintered, or as aggregate cemented with something else.

Floor tiles ought to work. The result need not be transparent; other ingredients would stop that.

Fiber glass insulation seems like a reasonable use.
Yes, or more accurately less desirable drivers. My recent rides on Lyft and Uber have not been good. Either the cars were clapped out or the drivers were telling me how they could not make a living and were looking for other work.
Someone has to write the package definitions for those dependencies, and the public package repository doesn’t have broad coverage for many popular packages in many languages. This is understandable in that this is a massive effort, but that’s also the point—the effort to manage packages is huge and the extra effort compared to other tools is not a good bargain for many projects, nor is it much of consolation for project maintainers who would otherwise like to use it.

It does require any cloud besides ntp and just uses a local web interface. You can define relative events, like 15 minutes before bed is tv time, 5 minutes before is snack time, bed time is 8. If one night the kids are extra cranky and need sleep, simply adjust bed time and the others adjust too.

Indexing is fine so long as you can still say a copy exists. But eventually it's like finding a medieval card-catalogue, and wondering what became of all of these other books by Euclid.
That's just a wrong assumption. In case anyone wants a '=' or 'in' query, you are better off keeping a hash index as opposed to an ordered index. Hash based partitioning is available on many commercially used DBs as well.

I would also like to point out that radix based storing is not a bad idea at all, and these data structures are never completely exclusive of each other :-)

I tend to disagree with the author because we can get into the details, but the article is a good read for someone who wants to understand how DBs/B-trees and scans work.
The misconception is tasty food and healthy food are orthogonal qualities; that's thankfully far from the case! For example, you could a make a restaurant quality chicken breast entree with a white wine reduction and heavy cream sauce, seasoned with Herbs de Provence. If you're a follower of Keto, you'd notice these ingredients are all low carbohydrate, and offer protein and fats. Pair with seasoned veggies and you've got yourself an entree, it's delicious, and it's far from consuming the "empty" calories of typical fast food.

The economist Ha Joon Chang has written extensivly how a somewhat higher target interest rate, like 5-7%, is actually better overall than the super-low targets the fed has. Lower interest rates tend to favor financial incumbents because they make money anyway because they have more and can sit on it, which implies that the money isn't actually helping develop new value in the market.
Big-O in Bachmann–Landau notation specifically means the upper bound.

There are lots of other interesting measures of asymptotic behavior, and it's true that frequently in the vernacular Big-O is bandied as if it can mean many different things.

But I've never heard anyone in the computer science domain (which is surely what we're talking about when we're talking about hash tables?) argue that Big-O, when used precisely, is anything but upper bound.
I've always intuitively felt that the Dutch were the best non-native English speakers out there, it's nice to see this confirmed with data.

Sounds like you haven't used Magit very much. Browsing the manual for a few minutes, or looking at a screencast or YouTube video, would show you how much more Magit does than what you described.

Regarding commit-patch specifically, its readme says that, to commit parts of a patch in separate commits, hunks must be "killed, split, or edited" into separate patches.

Magit is obviously superior to that: with a few keypresses, hunks in the working tree can be staged, hunks in the index can be unstaged, etc. Unstaged changes in the working tree can quickly be sliced and diced and committed separately. Individual lines can be staged or unstaged by selecting them visually. Magit can even automatically back up changes at each stage of the process into special branches, so if you realize, hours or days later, that you accidentally discarded some code without committing it, you can easily retrieve it.

Magit is the most powerful, efficient version control tool. See for yourself: https://magit.vc/

If you really don't want to open source it, I'd love to chat about buying it off you.

>We have a massive problem with the brain drain as a lot of people who are college educated go to the US to earn higher salaries, especially in but not limited to tech.

Anecdotally a lot of those same people are 1st generation immigrants, 2nd generation children of recent immigrants or are merely here for school from places such as China in the first place, and as such don't feel much of a tie to Canada or to being Canadian.

Not to mention that Canada, at least in the major English-speaking cities, does not have much of a residual sense of community left.

Hence the situation is very different to a largely homogeneous society with an inherent sense of shared identity such as Sweden.
