Prolog isn't based on first-order logic or anything. Its "logic" is just whatever falls out of its search mechanism and term unification. So e.g. you can't say things like "forall X: P" and expect anything useful to happen. (There's no way to express "forall X" without some finite domain for X, and there's no way in standard prolog to apply P to those uninstantiated Xs.)

Whereas languages like SMT2 and TLA+ are true logic languages in that you can express such abstract statements. You can, and people often do, write an entire meaningful and useful SMT2 program without once mentioning a concrete term. (With TLA+ this is less common due to the focus of its tooling being more on search than deduction.) The solver will apply various tactics to deduce the truth/falsity of your stated theorems.

On the contrary, Prolog does this only in a limited sense, defined exactly by the scope of its search and unification mechanisms. You can't write a meaningful Prolog program without writing concrete terms or term structures. (With the possible exception of playing tricks with dif/2.)

(There are Prolog constraint-solving extensions which basically use Prolog syntax as a frontend to a true logic engine. They're neat and I love them, because Prolog syntax is great, but my original statement applies only to core Prolog.)

TLDR: true logic languages let you talk about infinities; core Prolog does not.

You are not alone. I went to a music school majoring violin for eight years. Not quite the same as having a BMus in US, but a long way in the same direction.

Music is never a background to me. I will occasionally switch music on while working, but with the specific purpose to switch my mind. Usually either when I am trying to work out the best solution to some problem and I need to get away from it for a second or when I am task switching.
This has been my experience as well. The amount of flying done by most remote workers is astounding. If anything, remote workers have a bigger carbon footprint than your typical commuter from all the flying.

The other thing I see is a lot of remote workers moving to very sparsely populated areas that are cheap to live in, but where they end up driving 40 minutes for groceries.

There are lots of great benefits to remote work, but environmentalism (in most cases) is not one of them.
I can't imagine listening to music with lyrics while programing. For me ambient soundscapes, psy-chill, psy trance, atmospheric DNB, chiptunes, soundtracks or lo-fi are the best choice...

Beamforming is actually already implemented in commercial products (both for microphones and speakers). You can look at the phones from a company called Invoxia. I know voice-signature tracking was also in R&D a few years ago so it might be available too
> Mac is kind of not there in the developer community, unless you're talking about shops that deal primarily in the iOS space.

This is certainly cultural. I’ve worked in four different states for four different developer driven companies and they were all mac dominated. Macs are certainly “there” in the developer community.
They're less squeamish than you, apparently. For practical purposes it doesn't matter.
So five star hotels don't have... security? cameras? How can someone move something big like a mattress or a tv out of the hotel without being noticed?.. That's a horrible security mistake on the hotels' side!
It’s funny the lengths they’ll go to not have the police walking around the hotels and potentially getting in the news.

People can be so touchy with the thought of crime being done in a hotel. I know the sort of person (hotel guest) who would overreact to that sort of thing.
One big feature of Prolog that relies on lists are DCGs (Definite Clause Grammars)[0]. Lists are such a ubiquitous data structure that not having them in a language would just be painful.

It's a 14 hour window to drive 11 hours. It's not a 9-5. Everyday with 70 hour limit in a 7 day time period.

Quick look, they did change the rules since I quit in 2012. Looks like a 60/70 hour limit in a 7/8 day span.

Though, you're restart is a wonderful 34 hours time-off in... a loud truck stop in the middle of nowhere. Always.

Oh, but you are protected (and I believe the insurance companies help with this too) that if a driver says road conditions are too dangerous, the company can't force them to drive anymore. Doesn't stop them from punishing you afterwards with too little loads.
It looks cool, but I'd rather use completely independent random passwords. You seem like a nice person, but I don't trust you you to have gotten your crypto totally right. Someday I'll describe how a massive flaw in my understanding of gpg and pass let me recover from loosing my gpg key.

One small comment: the password I remember is the password I type, or I run into issues. If the sentence has "the" and plurals, so will the password.

(This password I generated was only used as a master and for a handful of key services)
I'm not sure these people are at the point in their lives where they demand un-fucked-on furniture.
> is it really reasonable for a games company to fire a director for a game that may not live up to hype yet meets sales goals and gets named game of the year?

I'm curious; even if someone's last game was a bit of a dud sales-wise, is it really reasonable to vehemently punish someone that has a proven stellar track record that you've depended on for years?

Example: Hironobu Sakaguchi

Sakaguchi is the father of Final Fantasy; but after the movie "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" was a complete flop, his career at Square-Enix (then Squaresoft) was over, and he was relegated to the back office. The last FF he created was FF9, and you can see how things progress from there.

It would be much more logical to have said "ok Sakaguchi, we have learned from this mistake. Let's try and do better on the next one", and continue onwards. But maybe I have the benefit of hindsight shrug
What about all the misinformation, conspiracy theories, bad medical information (which can get people killed), and false political ads? Does the "primary growth engine" marketing speak make it all better?

I use this almost everyday (doing finance work, not coding). Really great tool to give an add mind a little more focused.
Hmm are these assumptions valid? Can't a misconfigured load balancer cause a 404? Couldn't a bug in nginx, node or an app server produce a 500 response outside of your control?
Right, but (from what I remember from an article I read years ago) emissions from aircraft are worse, pound for pound of CO2, than those of a car because they're deposited directly into the upper atmosphere as opposed to at ground level. I don't remember exactly why, but it's worse because of its location rather than the actual amount.
Nginx was developed not on company time/resources. I am sure Igor was careful to do it by law, but it doesn't really matter in russia. They can detain you and kick you until you give them what they want, and there is nothing you could do. There are countless examples.
Also I already slept on it once, I'm not sure twice, thrice or hundreds of times would matter after once to me.

If it grossed me out I'd rather not sleep on it at all.
I am more or less the same... I never really got into listening to music, so I tend to be quite illiterate when it comes to the groups or albums everyone knows.

But when there's music, I like to enjoy it thoroughly, concentrating on it. I cannot really control it, and it's impossible for me to focus on code or reading when there's music playing around. I contrast this with most of my friends that seem to listen to music almost the whole day.

As a cautionary tale, I used to have very good hearing as well, probably because I didn't listen to music or go to concerts as much as my peers. I think I lost that, mostly as a result of joining my university's brass band... Use earplugs if you do.
I could only fully concentrate in very silent environments (almost anechoic), but nowadays I'm doing better as a result (and I now hear this buzzing noise floor when things get too silent). And I now have trouble hearing people in noisy environments: hearing loss impacted both my ability to pick faint noises, and to differentiate noise sources. I still have average hearing, I think, though I should get it tested. Unsure if I can get it back.
I can... not sure if I qualify as a serious musician, but reasonably so. My favourite for programming is Renaissance-era choral polyphony, but I'll listen to anything depending on mood!
This may be true but I think there is definitely an element of wearing people down. Last time I bought a car I t9ld the salesperson to just call the manager in so we could duke it out in five minutes instead of him walking back and forth and making me wait each time. He wouldn’t do that.
No idea what is actually going on, but the "simple" scenario is that it is just a mafia-style bust out. If that's the case, the attackers don't want the source or future development, they want to extract as much money as possible without regard to Nginx as an ongoing concern.
Also checkout Node Red [0], it's fairly popular in the automation space. It's rather sparse by default, but after adding in some community nodes (or making some yourself) it's pretty useful.

Setting aside the themes of alienation and purpose that run through most of his games (because that is a can of worms) it’s hard not to say that Kojima's work, at least in the modern gaming era (call it PS1 and later), definitely put into practice some pretty wild stuff I'd certainly consider unorthodox and radical--it's worth juxtaposing the cinematic/filmic presentation and direction of Metal Gear Solid with your CO telling you, in-universe and in-character, to "Press the Action Button to..." while in the next sentence somebody else is going on about the “physical” limitations of your radar system. That didn’t happen then, it doesn’t really happen today, and when it does it’s clearly an homage to that sort of blurred-lines unorthodoxy that MGS, whole not creating, certainly made A Thing for a lot of people.

Metal Gear Solid 2 probably counts for a lot, IMO. To an extent it might have some "Seinfeld is unfunny" to it today, but when it came out there was just nothing like it as a downright subversive story and experience. Still kind of isn’t.

That isn’t, of course, to take away from the games you mention, because those are all great games. But Kojima’s stuff fits that description for quite a few reasons, too.

(Agreed that Minecraft doesn’t belong, though, and I am very familiar with it. ;) )
One alternative, if you're not fond of the idea of banning cars altogether, is to do the same thing that you see a lot over here. Basically any street people live on is a dead end, or almost a dead end. Taking a shortcut through a residential street basically doesn't happen.

Take the neighborhood I live in for example, It's all one-directional traffic with tight corners and speed bumps. It has more exiting streets than entering streets. The end result being a decided lack of traffic, while still being able to get a car to your front door when you need it.

Kids can play in the streets safely enough, There's a couple cars an hour most of the day and the few cars that do pass are going slow enough to not hit any kids. The most dangerous time of day is all the parents getting their kid out of school by car.

You sometimes see a commercial vehicle trying out a new shortcut. People only think that to be a good idea once. Going around is faster than going through in any case.

Carless doesn't have to be an absolute. It's a gradient from six lane highways through your neighborhood on one side, and no cars at all on the other. A balance needs to be found.

(Edit: it is worth noting that Hooks are based on Reagent's reactive atoms.)

Compare the complexity of Hooks with the simplicity of state management in [Reagent](http://reagent-project.github.io/) or [Rum](https://github.com/tonsky/rum).

Complete ClojureScript example using Reagent:

(ns reagent-example.core
(:require [reagent.core :as r])

(def !count (atom 0)) ;; ! prefix is convention for state

(defn counter-component []
[:div
[:p "You have clicked the button " @!count " times."]
[:button {:on-click #(swap! !count inc)} "Increment"]])

(r/render [counter-component] (js/document.getElementById "app"))

The same example using Rum:

(ns rum-example.core
(:require [rum.core :as rum])

(def !count (atom 0))

(rum/defc counter-component < rum/reactive []
[:div
[:p "You have clicked the button " (rum/react !count) " times."]
[:button {:on-click #(swap! !count inc)} "Increment"]])

(rum/mount (counter-component) (js/document.getElementById "app"))

These are not preferences, these are minimum requirements. Programmers should care about this.
Also depends on the level you're at. At lower and pure IC levels, sure, but at higher levels hiring C-suite/VP/Director+ is also about changing vision and sending a message. So I can see why having something (that's just controversial and not a pure negative) can be a plus.
Oh it is. And I don't want the XML-style solution.

But I don't see any configuration option in the examples other than chaining method calls to set each config option. Is there something else?
In that case would a standard part of the interview process become asking the candidate for their home address and calculate how much their commute will cost the company? (Assuming that some companies still have offices and want staff to show up.) Would it be a valid factor in making a hire/no-hire decision? Or picking one candidate over another? What happens if you move during your employment? Would you have to ask for permission since it's going to cost the company money? Or potentially be fired because your commute becomes too expensive?
They likely check in with a stolen credit card so they don't need to worry about charges
This is pretty well known in the semi-conductor industry.

Everyone believes 5-7nm is the cost wall for just about everyone but Apple or Intel. Some companies are actually going the opposite direction or re-spinning new chips on older processes because of cost.

I've had my fair share of disappointments during my freelance career. A lot of hits and misses helped me to understand what works for me, and this is how I came up with this list of questions. How do you choose your potential employers?
I've seen this too. It definitely takes remote workers much longer to on-board and get up to speed. And once they are up to speed they tend to impart much less of their knowledge to new employees coming in. Remote work seems to work much better for more experienced employees who aren't doing a ton of collaborative work.
I'm guessing that there is also a segment of society that already-fucked-on furniture is a plus.
IMO the most useful thing about lasers is that they disrupt the idea that "humans can't be jammed." Humans are visual, and even if you put people behind tinted glass or cameras, lasers jam visual systems. I don't think the consequences of readily available good visual jamming have fully sunk in to the tactical playbook yet.

To inspire others who were kids in the 80s/90s: My current favourite programming music is old Commodore Amiga game and demoscene music. (Lots and lots of tunes can be found on Youtube of course.)
Death Stranding does nothing for me as a game, but yeah, the metaphors are not subtle. It’s odd that so many folks in the games space had trouble picking up on the references and metaphors because they hit you in the head with a brick about them for hours on end.
Came here to say the same thing. There remain a plurality of jobs that literally require physical access to tools, systems, cash registers, customers, etc.

I agree that where possible, remote should be allowed/encouraged. I also think that for roles where that can't work, we should consider 4 day work weeks, or other non-commute or less commute strategies. But, to a great extent we are not going to eliminate the in-person nature of working with other people, and we probably shouldn't aim to all live in little bubbles.

Source: I have been full time remote for 7 years. I estimate it saves me ~25k/year in direct and indirect costs + time.
For me, it depends: having to hear music from other people drives me crazy, but as long as it's my own music (over headphones of course), it really helps me concentrate.

For people who can't listen to music: how about noise generators (e.g. https://mynoise.net/) to drown out ambient noise?
Your systems are sophisticated enough to make people believe their phones are listening to them in the background even when that's not the case. So even if you think they are primitive, a lot of people thinks they're more than sophisticated enough to be creepy.
I am not a doctor nor an expert in this area, but I would presume that would be a valid risk if the frequency were not tuned specifically to resonate the tumor prior to increasing the amplitude. And then there is the matter of focus / accuracy. Perhaps nih.gov has a study with numbers to show the attainable accuracy and what statistics are given back to the equipment and the doctor to compensate and tune the signal. My understanding is that the inverse is generally true, in that, there is too much heat and the surrounding area is scarred.
not such great lengths if you ask me. having even one customer turn away from an upscale hotel isn't worth recovering a $700 item, let alone doing this on an ongoing basis.
200mg is normal for ibuprofen, and prescriptions for 800mg versions are not unusual.

Meanwhile 500mg is, I believe, more than they combine with opiates and acetaminophen does lead to death via organ failure on the order of hundreds of people a year. I was curious why they weighted the acetaminophen proportionally so much higher than the ibuprofen.
"Whistleblower" is not a trait that some humans possess and that you have to begrudgingly deal with or be acutely aware of. No one is manically looking for things to blow a whistle on. They do it in response to (perceived) injustice and overwhelming opposition.

When you hire a former whistleblower you can simply be the judge of that. Do you think this person acted reasonably when they blew said whistle? If the answer is yes, I can not think of a reason why you would not want an independent, courageous and critical thinker/doer working for you, specially if it's a startup.

At least that is what everyone keeps asking for in their job offers.
That's interesting. I use a similar trick, when there are distracting noises I put on white noise just loud enough to mask it. That then turns into the new baseline and I somehow experience it as silence.

>Am I the only person who can't listen to anything while coding?

Listen to music without human voices. Lyrics are distracting.

Maybe use OST music for films and games. This music is designed to not to compete for your attention with whatever you're watching or examining.
>When Notch sold Minecraft, the reason he gave was that he didn't want to be a symbol#

This seems in stark contrast to Kojima, who based on the number of times his name appeared in his previous game and other factors, is extremely focused on building his personal brand.
Unless we're getting somewhat kinky, I don't think that counts as the biggest deprecation of mattress values. I'd rate sweaty obese salesman higher than a short spout of bonking.

Unless we're talking about "impure" from a moralistic pov. In which case I'd recommend slipping your local priest a few bucks to have it blessed.
I write some music and been playing in bands for years, but I can't stand having music in the background (decent OSTs and a few others are excluded from this classification, as they are there for a reason and I'm listening actively). in fact, I very, very rarely listen to music. when I do, it's either because I know exactly what I want to listen or because I'm searching new music.

I recently discovered I have a tendency to unconsciously listen to everything around me and analyze it, aggravating my mental fatigue. now I try to be careful and avoid doing that.
Notwithstanding the music I find laying out a web page like this sexy
IMO languages like Clojure (or Go) don’t need a fully powered batteries included web framework like Rails or Django. The approach to pick together what you actually need (router, db bits and pieces, etc) with composable libraries works really great
