You may also realize that you missed something important by not founding a startup, climbing Everest, travelling the world, paragliding, writing a fantasy novel, or getting hooked on heroin. This is a vacuous statement that can be used as a reason to do anything at all, or nothing.

After I'm dead they can toss my body outside the gates. And they can give me a stick so I could fend off the scavengers - that is, if I care to ;)
I interviewed once with a database startup. I don't know anything about databases. I just thought 'yeah I can probably blag that.' I probably looked like an impostor while I piled in in the interview, because I was.
The advantage of using a long key (generated randomly) is that bruteforcing of the material protected with the key is impossible, which does matter in some scenarios: specifically, if one trusts the container format, knows that the container will be accessible to the potential attackers who can try to brute force it, but also knows that the rest (the long key used) won’t be accessible to the said attackers. Which can be a reasonable scenario. Whoever uses a password manager should use reasonably long keys generated randomly.

The real problem, like always, is key management. And knowing what is “overkill” for a given scenario, i.e. where reasonability ends. 8 MB is really something that should have some additional reasons than just protection from brute forcing the key.

Hydrogen might be in the far future for long-term storage of electricity, but then it will get used to power the grid in times of lacking sun/wind, rather then propelling cars.
I had to re-learn my alcohol limit a few years into martial arts. Turns out I was using the decline of proprioception as a marker for 'last beverage' and the training pushed that to the right. Got a few hangovers before I sorted it out.

How Dutch Plant Breeders Built Our Brussels Sprouts Boom
I think this design system made by Zomato is just that though, a foundation and tool to communicate in a unified and consistent manner... for Zomato.

I agree with you about bootstrap, bulma, material design, etc... it seems really weird to adopt an off-the-shelf visual language. I think in most cases the convenience of doing so outweighs the the disadvantage of looking like everything else. And in other cases looking like everything else can actually be an advantage.
I was surprised to discover that interpreting BASIC to be more difficult than a C-like language, as most statements required their own syntax rule.
>...an article puts the abandonment rate of open source projects on Github at about 98% - meaning that there is no activity on 98% of projects after a year [0]. This has coined a phrase - abandonware.

I'm not a programmer, I'm a researcher. Let me tell you a fact: about 100% of research articles are not updated.

Somehow the link [0] cited in the article makes an indirect similar point, but what's wrong with programs which are not updated? After all there is a (small) group of people who keep telling that programs are the next level in mathematics, (ideally they are) better than proofs.

Lots of proprietary software are abandoned & unmaintained on old storage devices, the statistic about abandoned software on Github is meaningless.

On quality: quality is very suggestive. Quality changes if you factor in questions such as: Does it run well on low-end devices, does it track you, will it still open your files in 10 years, will the company still exist in 10 years, does it work well on many platforms, can it be automated, etc.
Cynical where appropriate. Not everyone deprecates hardware with software...
Y'know, you're right that billionaires speeding doesn't affect people who aren't near those billionaires. To wit, here's an idea for a change:

Billionaires should be allowed to speed wherever they are not, because then their speeding won't affect the people there. However, if a billionaire is found to be in the area they're speeding, they get hit with a scaling ticket, because their speeding does affect people around them.
I get the privacy angle, but I'm failing to see the practical argument here.

A policy like the one you're imagining would have the effect of punishing those individuals who are willing to pay premiums and unwilling to "shop around" or use alternative services.

That is, it is a policy that in practice rewards the frugal and the poor at the expense of the wealthy and spendthrift. Is that... a bad thing? It sounds like a good thing to me.

Well, in some sense the question only makes sense within a narrow band.

If one group of humans (sex, race, whatever) were to be _vastly_ more intelligent than the other, then we may well simply not care about the question at all.

Consider animal welfare. We may care about the treatment of animals to some extent, but the idea that a cow should, say, be able to become a computer science major is laughable. It's not even on the radar.
Would a union be able to stop non-union drivers from signing up? It seems too easy for new workers to cross the picket line for a union to have much power here.
Yes! My last year in grad school, this is part of how I kept my sanity: random little side-projects on which I could make concrete progress in a couple of evenings.
For the 5+5+5+1 example, there is a fairly easy way to accomplish that:

Append n dummy items to your list, where n is the maximum number of items you expect on a single line. They should have a height of 0, and the same width / margin as your regular items.

The "2D justification" where items occupy space intelligently would be awesome, but I doubt CSS will ever allow that.
And this is the point where we disagree. Women didn't get conscription because they are not seen as expendable by rich men.

And you are wrong that almost all men, across all classes, were opposed to women serving in the military. Armies that are created by rich men at the top looks very different to those created by lower classes, such as resistance movements in Europe during world war 2.
That's what I meant, to each his own.
Also, as far as finding better happiness goes, PG is careful to qualify his view by referencing the chemical changes... That makes it more complicated; some people mention it as a positive (i.e. even if it turns out to be as bad as I thought I won't feel nearly as bad); as for me, it makes me even more wary, the thinking being similar to the cult analogy in the article... I don't view such things as positives.
there's a lot of nits to pick about this essay, but the real punchline is that corporations have reaped the profits from open source software, far more than any developers do directly, and that claim seems hard to dispute.
It's about sex, but it's also about entitlement. These men you're talking about believe that it's somehow unfair that they get "radio silence" when they "reach out". I'm sure they feel bad, but nobody victimized them. They're just insecure.

And, heh, hoooooo boy, yeah, let's talk about pressure. Let me tell you, as a man, I am pressured constantly to look good. All the makeup I put on every day, all the different outfits I own. All the work I have to do on my butt and abs, all the crazy crash diets I've gone on to try to slim down, the sheer amount of money I spend on my hair... You're right, it really is unfair how society pressures me, a cis man, to constantly look good and make lots of money, in order to be treated as a person.
Interesting point about foreign nationals! Indeed, this seems like a major point often overlooked, despite the recent growing evidence of state-sponsored and state-directed hacking
There are also a lot of connotations attached to those terms with significant implications. For example, does "conformity to social hierarchy" contradict previous findings indicating men tend to be more ambitious and take more risks? How does one tell the difference between a person with a lesser appreciation of beauty and a person who's been taught not to express their appreciation of beauty? The difference between not appreciating beauty and not prioritizing beauty?
I think almost anyone would prefer a 5 year old car with 100K miles on it than a 10 year old car with 25K (or 10K) miles on it.
Some true points mixed in with a load of bullshit.
I know that I'm somewhat of an impostor because interviews don't test for what's really important in this field - namely grit - and rely on gut feeling in this regard instead.
I have like 30 projects on github, I don't expect any of them to really go anywhere, it's just where I put stuff when I'm playing with a new concept.

There are ~3 projects that I would have actually have liked to go somewhere, real projects not toys, that I have abandoned.

So that "98% of projects" statistic is fair, but I think those numbers would be looking a lot better if you accounted for the fact that github is just a place to throw stuff up. Just because something is on github doesn't mean it's an open source "project".
When I was learning Flexbox, I've created a graphical cheatsheet [1] (based on another one) that I've printed out and put next to my computer. It helped me a lot back then.

It is certainly not a solved problem. At 300+ bars, just the rupture of a filled tank could cause a significant explosion, even without the hydrogen igniting. If the hydrogen stored in a car ever catches fire, there will be a very quick reaction. In Norway, they closed down all Hydrogen fuel stations after a minor explosion this year (fortunately the main tanks did not explode).
That effectively requires a cartel with high barriers to entry, otherwise not doing that is an immediate competitive advantage to any new challengers. It's pretty hard to build your own last mile telecommunications network, how hard is it to build a ride sharing app?
When I was an intern at Apple in 2002, Steve Jobs gave a talk to our cohort. Someone asked if he had any advice and he replied “The things that are important to you now, will not be the things that are important to you later. Sorry, I know that vague but I don’t know how else to say it.” Now that I’m a father (and an actual adult), I think I understand what he means. Don’t feel ashamed because your priorities shift and you lose “ambition”. It could come back or it could be gone forever, whatever the case just try to enjoy what you have at that point.

Disclosure: I work at RStudio

Took a quick look at the docs. If you're looking for dependency management there's renv[1] and you can (obviously) use git for source control. If you actually have enterprise use cases for library curation or air-gapped deployments, you can check out RStudio Package Manager[2]. Among other things, it provides precompiled binaries for packages, which Rsuite doesn't improve on, per docs[3]:

> Now you are ready to install dependencies. Beware that it will take a lot of time because of compilation. You install dependencies with the following command:

Impostor syndrome is a real phenomenon, but contrary to what everybody studying it says, the strongest counter to it is more emphasis on objective and impersonal evaluation criteria, not less. In my experience, much of it is created by initiatives that ostensibly try to fight it.
The nil value for a slice is an empty slice that points to constant storage: Data=0, Len=0, Cap=0. That's just not the same as Data=somethingelse, ... which you get if you allocate something.

(And all Go zero values are exactly what you get with the relevant RAM filled with the zero byte.)

Flexbox was a major game-changer for how I get layouts done. SO glad it exists! Can't wait until our customer transitions off of IE so I can learn Flexgrid (yes, IE has Flexgrid, but it's a different syntax and semantics, alas... MS jumped early, and then didn't track the standard, IIUIC).
Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you for the correction!
Some people are "satisficers" content with good-enough. Some are "maximizers", who want to find the absolute best product, which leads to wasting enormous time on research, and ultimately frustration and buyers' remorse. Usually people are maximizers in some product categories and satisficers for the vast majority of other items. In my case, I am a maximizer for computers, cameras and optics, but couldn't care less about shampoo or hand cream and just want an end to the madness.
My three kids are now 17, 15, and 12. And yes, of course it gets easier as they get older. They learn to do more and more by themselves, want to enjoy their friends, and grow more independent. By the time they get there, you'll start to miss when they were younger and needed you more! smile

So, just enjoy it while you can. It's one of the BEST parts and you'll be happy you did.

Why on earth was this downvoted?

Because I think that concept already exists as prototypes.

A small fuel cell for example can serve as a range extender.

So for short drives you charge and use the batterie (cheap energywise). For long ranges the fuel cell adds power to charge the batterie.
Methan or hydrogen is fast refueld and has a much bigger energy storage capacity compared to batteries.
Perhaps what op has in mind is that some of these big companies let you contribute post-tax money to your 401K (that you can then roll over into a roth IRA even if you are above the income limits to contribute directly to a roth) there's a like $56K limit on what you put in your 401K. (this is the total of your pre-tax contributions + your employer matching + your post tax contributions)

Sure, you can just stuff money in your brokerage account and save money post-tax, but then you go without the bankruptcy or tax protections that the stuff that goes through your 401K gets, so there's a lot of benefit to maxing your 401K in these situations. if you can swing it, it's worth scrimping, because as far as I can tell, I can only get money into my 401K that is processed through payroll (bonus and base, but not stock) and jobs that have these post-tax 401Ks are rare, in my experience, so when you get the chance, it's worth some pain to take advantage of it.

I remember my first year at a company with retirement plans like this, I took my signing bonus in cash ('cause I didn't get my 401K sorted by then) but my 'net pay' was 0 for many months afterward as I worked to max out the 401K before year-end
Unfortunately private equity funds buy out companies with a good brand reputation, do "quality fade" on the produce, and milk the company's reputation until it is in tatters, then get a tax deduction for the inevitable bankruptcy.
How “hidden” the importance of proprioception is in a sport depends on the sport. In archery, improving proprioception (not strength or visual acuity) is the primary object of training.

The facts as presented by this article do not match the facts I remember. I'm an old fart and was actually alive and active writing software at that time.

The cathedral and the bazaar was not a book, it was an essay. They apparently later turned it into a book but I know nobody who read the book. The essay, in contrast, was read by everybody in the scene.

Here's how I remember it.

Open source has no specific meaning before esr claimed it.
And after he claimed it, crucially, open source did not mean you could not charge for the software.

I practice almost no source code was released under non-liberal licenses, but there are some notable exceptions. For example, Microsoft released the source code of the Windows kernel for research use to universities. AFAIK that technically means Windows is open source.

esr was not against releasing source code under non-liberal licenses. He was just convinced those would not stand a chance against code released under liberal licenses. Time has proven him right, I would say.

Also this article misses the point, I think. Open source was not meant to define or enshrine a methodology. It was coined because at the time people felt that the free software movement was holding itself back in the fight against Microsoft (google "halloween documents" to get more insight into esr's struggle against Microsoft) because it sounded like you could not make money with it. Also because the GNU General Public License said if you make changes to a piece of GPL code, the result must also be under the GPL. So in a sense GPL actually did impede commercial exploitation of free software.

At the time many libertarians (like esr) felt that the market would solve this if you just let it, and software is not the place to fight ideological wars about the freedom of software.

I'm just paraphrasing the arguments here as I understood them. Personally I come down on the pro-GPL side of the aisle.
Of course, in the good/bad old days, sometimes kids just died. My wife talks fondly of free-roaming LA in the 70s, and parenthetically mentions the kid that got molested and the other one that got run over by a car.

In general, in the West at least, folks had bigger families and started earlier (just make a new one!).

A friend of ours from rural China (Dalian province, I think) talked about how all the kids would go out by themselves and teach each other how to swim in the river. We expressed some admiration for that, and she said, "oh, I don't know - a few kids drowned every year". Every year!

In my experience, people who go on about 'helicopter parents' are awfully brave with the welfare of other people's kids.

We're pretty free-roam, but I spent a lot of time worrying about traffic when my youngest was the height that he could be invisible before stepping out from behind a car.

Maybe I'd be more relaxed about this if, for instance, someone blasting through inner-city streets in a SUV while texting, was legally treated as a potential murderer (or an actual one if things go badly).
A main point of this seems to be that most projects on github are abandoned.

What a stupid comparison. That would be like listing all the commercial projects that go out of bussiness, or dont even progress far enough to get funding in the first place, and saying closed source model is a failure because most closed source projects fail.
I now realize ghaff is making a different point. since they intend to drive the car until it it is not economical to maintain, the resale value doesn't really matter. this is an unusually pragmatic approach to car ownership though.
Wouldn’t this also infer that Magnus has understood the mechanics of the game more than almost anyone else?

By which I mean to say couldn’t this translate indirectly to an edge (I realize FPL and predicting individual match outcomes are very different) in sports betting?

I’m ordinarily utterly skeptical of any such suggestion, but Magnus thinks at a level beyond my understanding so what do I know?
Seems like they could have some huge advantages for air travel.

Part of the calculations in flight is that your vessel weighs less as the journey progresses, and for maximum efficiency you really only want to carry as much fuel as you need to get from point A to point B. A plane powered by batteries would never stop being heavy.

Given the eye popping carbon costs of routine flights, clean hydrogen is worth pursuing for aircraft alone.
Inspiring, I hope to read future details of your progress!
I think a study would need to account for each person's self-perceived context when answering as I think most people would be heavily influenced by cultural norms in their responses.
> This is generally true in both directions. While I have never experienced sexual harassment, I do experience nothing.

I'm trying to make sense of this comment and am drawing a complete blank.

Seems to me that zero unwanted online sexual advances from creepers of the opposite sex would be an example of "winning", not an example of "men have it bad, too."

As a guy who wishes he'd had zero unwanted online sexual advances from creepers, what am I missing here?
Try this fun experiment yourself:

On some long sidewalk (with no hazards on either side) or on a field, find any visible point 20-30 feet straight ahead of you, like a crack in the sidewalk or a leaf, whatever. Now look at it for just a moment (only takes a second or two to imprint its location) and close your eyes. Start walking towards that spot (no peeking), and stop when you think your foot is over the target. You will be shocked at how accurately you estimated the walking distance, and how your body very strongly senses when you've reached the spot. Almost 10 out of 10 times, my foot is perfectly centered over the target (modulo some lateral movement from not walking perfectly straight).

For me, I can somehow "physically" feel when it's close, I can feel when I'm over it, and I can feel when I've gone too far.
Better than being resold - with rampant return fraud these items can be sold as new and cost 3 shipping trips to
make it right.
If storing H2 really cannot be solved (but I think it was claimed they did), there is allways methan as an alternative.
How about contibuting to someone else hard project ? Because doing it alone, whatever the level of a task, is often easier than grasping existing code base and work with others ;-)

Please check out Lee Jussim's work on Stereotype Accuracy[1]. His research shows that not only are stereotypes highly accurate (according to him one of the strongest effects in social psychology), but people only use them when they have no other information available. As soon as they obtain information about the individual in front of them, that information takes precedence over the stereotype.

> changes that happened almost instantly when our first child was born. It was like someone flipped a switch. I suddenly felt protective not just toward our child, but toward all children.

This was my experience, too, and I was utterly unprepared for it despite having been told to expect it -- and even welcoming such a change in myself. So Paul is right, there seems to be no substitute for first-hand experience in this case.
