There is one basic rule of traffic engineering: first come first served. It allows for vehicles of different speeds to share the road. Your responsibility as a driver of a vehicle is to not drive so fast that you can not possibly stop within your field of view (you are not driving a train), that is enough to share the road with bicycles, tractors, horses or whatever. Of course drivers of cars do not want to be bothered with that an want the road all for themselves, that's why you still insist in getting cyclists off the roads, at least where there is enough space to do so. The fear of cars is very convenient for this purpose.
My favourite GitHub repos with knowledge instead of code
Hi, I wrote this article "6 Github repos for instant knowledge boost" (https://dev.to/mfarajewicz/6-github-repos-for-instant-knowledge-boost-3mo0) and it received a really warm welcome on dev.to and other comunities.
I wanted to share it more, perhaps some of you will find it useful.
I agree if you end up using Make like its used in C projects: compiling intermediate objects, linking them, etc. In that case the Go compiler should suffice.

I almost exclusively use Make for projects in any language nowadays as workflow automation, this includes Go, Python, Terraform, Docker builds.

In this way Make is a indispensable tool for me. As for me it's portable where it matters (macOS, Linux, WSL), it's ubiquitous, it has a stable API and it's behaviour is well know to me.
Sometimes I have to work around some shortcomings of Make, eg: things that don't produce a file as result, where you `touch` a fake artifact file. But this is a minor annoyance for me compared to what Make brings in term of how simple and declarative I can automate my workflows.
> I usually take 3-4 tries with some significant amount of testing to get my code to a working state. I refer to stack overflow or ask my colleagues if I get stuck on some design / technology feature which I haven't seen before. I feel the above contributes to reduction in my speed of delivery and the rush to complete the deliverable on time, compromises the quality.

If this is happening once you're in an integrated environment, then it is too late. A strong test driven development culture in the organization can help with this, and improve design - but if it's not already there, it's hard to justify the investment without first proving you can write quality code.
You doubt it?
You are right, highways really were a mistake. Who builds roads that can't even be used by cyclists, or wait, you probably mean roads right, I mean who wastes asphalt for surfaces that can't even be used by pedestrians?
As the self-defence crowd like to say, "compliance does not guarantee safety".

The attacker in this case:

* Was not just threatening the victim, but physically attacking him even as he complied with the attacker's instructions.

* Was committing a serious felony for which he would be facing a long long prison sentence even if he left the victim alive (as demonstrated here!), meaning the rational self-interested course of action would be to execute the victim after getting what he wanted, to stop him from identifying the attacker.

Whether or not I'd have the courage and presence of mind to do it myself in the victim's place, resisting in this case seems to me like exactly the correct thing to have done, and I suspect it saved the victim's life.
> interact with a computer in English

I mean, there's no other language appropriate for working with modern computers (Russian is probably the closest second)[0], but the level of English computer programs require of you, especially cushioned ones like they're exposing to people in this case, tends to be less than native understanding of the language.

[0]: English has a huge advantage because typesetting, typewriting, liberalism, and empire had already greatly simplified the writing system by the time computers were standardizing. It was, from the start of electronic computing, basically trivial to typeset English with simple character series, in a readable form. Anglo typewriting and typesetting conventions were already such that monospaced typewritten ASCII makes decent documents on its own.
Voice control of smart devices is extremely convenient. I can only imagine what a quality of life improvement it is for someone with physical disabilities.
No, it should include what they have and make room for the rest.
It is just a course that was already made and already in English, available online and that some people were picked to take to try it the first year. EU universities are already open to every EU students, I find it quite smart to market it this way. It's a just a free course to educate yourself about AI, in any fields of work, and how to apply it where you can. The translation will be paid by the Finnish state. I mean, how can people be unhappy about free education ?
This MOOC was done and proven to educate people, Finnish people like it, so they opened it to EU.
Picking winner in what sense ?
What kind of Android do you have? Are you sure you went through all the settings?

And, still, I can install LineageOS or other privacy-respecting systems on my phone. We don't have any custom firmware for an Echo or Alexa yet (to the best of my knowledge.)
Just put some cling film or foil over the top and refrigerate it; it'll keep long enough.
When was this story from? From my limited knowledge, I think persistent hashmaps have been available since Clojure 1.0 (2009) or before? (hash-map, https://clojure.github.io/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#cloj...).
It's less "computer fraud and misuse", and more of an armed robbery.

The work done by them has been incredible. Their course on OO with Java was a lifesaver as a student, helping me with a lot of concepts and filling the gaps, to start working as a SE.

While I didn't have the time to complete it, their fullstack course seems also very good, has someone completed it that can share their experience?.
Ask HN: What are the greatest achievements in programming?
I mean programming itself, not theory (e.g. no quicksort algorithm or NEXP not in ACC0).

An example would be John Carmack's work on games in the 1990s.

Also, I want to exclude stuff like operating systems and programming languages since those are clear enough and widely known.
This is how to make a command line version from their website:

For projects that use tags to turn on/off compilation options, Makefiles and shell scripts make sense.
It might be down to memory/space allocation after all.

All hashtable requires rehashing up to certain fill rate, otherwise it will regress to linear look up. For the two most popular implementations, linked-list based or open addressing based, the common strategy for rehashing is to create another instance of hash table and copy the KV over. But on disk, this will be disastrous.
What is a VPN, and do I need one?
Right, but there is another side to this coin. There are good questions, and then there are questions that evince/exhibit:

* basic reading comprehension issues

* trivial matters that could have been looked up in an obvious reference

* completely unrelated tangents, asked out of idle curiosity

* questions asked solely to demonstrate "participation" (nothing wrecks a classroom like a "participation" grade)

In my experience, these comprise the bulk of questions that are asked in non-STEM university and graduate settings.

I don't call these questions stupid, but they are a waste of time, do not move the ball down the field at all, and discourage self-learning.

> the original sin of online advertising: measuring an ad's success through the number of clicks it gets

The measure is often the number (or even the value) of conversions an ad gets. I think it is a good measure for everybody. I wouldn't block ads if they were garanteed to have conversion-rates > 90%. This would mean that I only see ads which are highly relevant. What we have instead are conversion rates < 5% (or even < 1%) - which is basically noise or spam.

>only successful ad is one that makes you go AAAAH MUST GO BUY RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW DROP EVERYTHING AAAAAAAA...

Exactly. That would be a good ad. Instead we see useless distracting spam ads which bring no value to users nor businesses.

Think about it this way. The person who knows the most about your code and application, is most qualified to sell it, and has the best relationships with the best fit potential customers, thinks it is worthless and wants to go in another direction.

Code is cheap. Your legacy from this startup will be experience, not code. Move on and start fresh.

TeXmacs is also completely distinct from TeX!
It does use TeX-inspired layout algorithms, with modifications to make them better fit real-time typesetting as you type.
It's also striving to be an environment for interaction with other tools, (not unlike Jupyter Notebook).

If you want a structured scientific web editor with collaboration, check out also https://www.fiduswriter.org/. Built on top of ProseMirror.

But Fidus is closer to "WYSIWYM" like LyX — structured editing with "acceptable" typesetting, and TeX export for high-quality typesetting.
TeXmacs shoots for true "what you get" high-quality typesetting as you edit. Mind you, the edited model is structured in "what you mean" spirit (with quite good UX to "see" the structure), not flat "slap formatting on characters" model typical of WYSIWYG editors.

Can we change the title to soon free for all or soon available in all EU languages? As you can tell from the comments here the title is unnecessarily divisive and doesn't seen to jive with what the website says or the Finnish governments intentions:

Great shame. Roxette weren't very trendy when I was at school, but time has proven that their music has lasting power.
Apparently, Hopkins became increasingly violent when asked for a mailing address and email for the new domain owner. He pistol-whipped the victim, tased him then cocked the pistol.
Given that victim was going to end up knowing who was robbing him, he likely assumed he'd be killed after the transfer.
Agreed. I'll probably get down voted for speaking the truth but at this point opening the course up to EU citizens is doing nothing but protecting power and privilege of (white) Europe. The course should be opened to everyone in the world. Really disappointed but what do you expect? Just goes to show how far we have left to go...
Yes, exactly. Just made the same point.

IMO, instructors who indulge this kind of thing do the whole class and especially the asking student a disservice because the opportunity for self-teaching is lost. Self-teaching is much more important than whatever the lesson of the moment is.

The new loading screen is very good as some people somehow seem to forget that WhatsApp is also owned by that toxic, unethical and criminal company.

I'm somewhat confused by the Twitter responses though. They seem to be threatening to delete the app over the loading screen itself and not the fact that Facebook owns the app.
The tech culture in Austin is way overhyped. I came up in it, and the critical mass of investors just isn't there. There are a handful (like 10 at most) of serial founders in town who can reliably get VC funding. I worked for one of them at a couple companies, and while he was good at what he did, his relationships from being a trust fund kid hobnobbing with investors were absolutely the reason we had funding and traction. Everyone else competes for the local / regional VC network, which can't handle anything beyond A rounds.

Even Apple's huge new campus in Austin is going to be manufacturing, sales and customer support; the actual tech jobs are staying in Cupertino. It's just cheaper to hire for non-tech positions outside the bay area. So tech companies from the bay area use Austin as a tax haven to cut the costs of non-technical work, but the jobs aren't tech jobs.

This means the required bacteria were present in the environment and this process has been repeated intentionally several times.

The article affirmation that it happened once because of a fly and then the new bacterial strain survived seems a bit naive, considering bacteria mix their genes all the time.

Under GDPR this kind of self advertising falls under legitimate use of an email address, so if you inform the user you'll send them the emails, it's legal to do so without explicit opt-in. (AFAIK IANAL)
Right, convenient for some, and I empathize with that use case. But why must we all be subjected to Big Brother's unblinking, creepy-as-fuck stare?

And why must all the data enabling the convenience be ripped away from my exclusive control and sent back to some centralized store?
I've only tried it few times via their official docker image; it's reasonably fast (a minute of asciicast took about a minute to convert), but PhantomJS/ImageMagick do put some load on the CPU while it's generating/combining frames. I never had any problems when I need to make a GIF, but the conversion process does indeed seems very wasteful.

The 'personal' email address (although I have some work-related emails on it) which is on Gmail, so I have push notifications on my phone. I also use webmail.

The work address from the institution I'm currently at and the address from the one where I'm currently on leave. These I check daily (or four times a day if I'm bored) on their webmail interfaces.

The old personal address (also on Gmail) which I've discontinued in 2014. This I check once a week.
Yeah, it's likely little to do with hunting, more to do with mechanistic thinking. The same sex bimodality is observed in other primate species, from young ages, and most primates may be omnivores, but they tend to be more interested in seeds and fruit, and they aren't going out hunting the way humans and protohumans had.

Also, not all ancient hunting was dangerous enough that only the disposable sex would engage in it.
On Twitter I've seen screenshots on my timeline more than once now of instances where a network of accounts have tweeted the same verbatim response to some current scandal involving the Conservatives. https://twitter.com/demarionunn/status/1204190151041269765 is the most recent example.

Whenever I wanted to go to a place by bike I used to go into google maps then clicked on the "avoid freeways" option and I would take that route. Nowadays where I live I have to not only avoid freeways but streets or roads with bike paths, it is really awful. I've been riding my bike to work every day for the last 13 years and I realize that If I want to keep using the road safely and correctly I am going to have to buy a car or a motorcycle.

This article is again trying to make it look like the Conseratives are not in talks with the U.S. about selling off parts of the NHS, which has been suggested even by Trump himself.

Even if the source of the most recent dump has ulterior motives, there's no reason to doubt the NHS implications in particular.

I understand the article is mostly focused on Johnson, so I guess in order to appear balanced they had to throw the line about Corbyn in there, but it's interesting they don't have such need for a counter narrative when writing article 1459 smearing Corbyn.

When I was younger I wanted to be a garbage man too. I always made sure to be outside when they came by and made sure I was wearing my little work boots. My nephew is really into them right now and loves being outside when they come by making sure they know he is there.

>But most of all, she loves waiting for the truck driver to stop and say hi

I think the last sentence of the article really says a lot, this is what stuck with me from my experience. The garbage men/women always waved back and acknowledged that I was there. It's an interaction that kids don't always get to experience while watching something super cool happen right out front of their house.
I think it's because he hadn't learned a whole lot of bad pacing habits at that point, but had already developed a strong descriptive style. Snow Crash is an evolution of that. The pacing is a mess, but entertainingly so, and the first-class descriptive writing and dialogue makes up for it.

He desperately needs an iron-fisted editor in his life. It's a tragedy that he doesn't.

If you're curious about the current state of the art see the high inte sity gamma source: http://faculty.virginia.edu/PSTP2013/Talks/HIGSCapabilities_...

This isnt a gamma laser because the gamma rays arent coherent, but they can be polarized more than 99%. The free electron laser makes optical laser light in a big cavity with dielectric mirrors, the next electron bunch in the storage ring collides with it and scatters it up to MeV level of energy. Flux and energy resolution can be exchanged by changing the diameter of the gamma collimator and the operating mode. Its generally something like 10^7 gammas/s for energies near 15 MeV with 3% resolution.

This is great advice in general. Git is one of the best tools to help you organize your thoughts into digestible chunks, and a skill that I've consistently found to correlate with poor code at review time. One of the things that always enabled me to write high-quality documentation or reports is the constant review. Re-read each paragraph as you write them, iterate while your mind is on topic. If you write it lazily the first time, and never go back until you wish to review the entire feature, you may have already destroyed your time and effectiveness of your implementation.

It's a little difficult to give OP advice on their situation when it's unknown what product or workflow they're in. I've always found that if I'm taking too long testing or debugging, it might be a problem with the projects toolchain. If developers don't put in the time to make their projects testable and debuggable, those man hours will be eaten up over time.
The white term is terribly misplaced.

Without excusing the article for confusing several people and requiring follow up research to answer an obviously related question, in my experience if someone dies it will almost-always be explicitly stated in the article; newspapers are far more like to remember to say "shot and killed" or "shot... killing him instantly" or "died of his injuries", and far more likely to cut a sentence about an auxiliary party's recovery when editing.

One thing I always beg for at the beginning of a tenure is for scathing code reviews. Tell me everything your heart desires, if you have the time. The more we get of the way early, the less we need to worry when our minds are in sync.
Also the speed is not so different. The speed difference is even greater between bicycles and pedestrians yet you see places where they mix them. As a pedestrian I have been passed by cyclists which disappear much faster than a car when a car passes me as a cyclist.
To each their own I guess. I've been in Austin for a fairly typical weekend during the summer and found it pretty awful. But, then, I don't deal with heat very well generally. and I don't like being confined to A/C. That's one of the things I like about living in the North. Outside of the cities you don't even really need to have A/C.

Of course, there's snow in the winter.
