There was nothing wrong with Terry Davis. It was easy to completely understand everything he said once you absorbed his personal memetic lexicon by watching his streams for one week. Everyone in his family was a dimwitted cunt. His sister is responsible for his death because she falsely claimed to be protecting and housing him, then suddenly he was homeless again and dead immediately afterwards. I was closely following him when he lived in his van and was donating thousands per month. I was planning to buy a house and drumkit for him. I have over ten million dollars, it would have been easy. But his cunt of a lying sister removed my concern for him so I stopped paying attention. He didn’t kill himself due to mental illness, he killed himself because the humiliation and misery of homelessness was no longer tolerable.

The idea of Maybe is that you usually don't check for None. The idea is that you use it sort of like a collection in most cases, allowing the None to propagate up as the result of collection operations on other Nones. The issue can be that you get a None at the end and it isn't clear where it came from originally, and how it reached you. Adding stack trace information to each intermediate None, when in debug mode, can help you trace what went wrong.

Building something w django is easier than bug fixes (imho). Django is just that well documented and easy to use. Bugs, of course, are not. If you want to write code, for your features, just write it in your view (this is what django calls the controller). Maybe it should be written somewhere else, but in my projects I wrote most of the logic in views, and if you are using other libraries/apis, you can just follow their docs or use stackoverflow. If you go down this route you will, at the minimum, learn a lot.

I am unable to use any Chrome/Chromium based browser due to one stupid and trivial characteristic. When you spawn a new session of Chrome/Chromium the resulting window/tab steals focus. That means that if you do so from some sort of terminal based program you are pointlessly left sitting there with the cursor still in the terminal window but with the focus on the browser window. If you were hoping to spawn more than one new browser session (say from a RSS reader), well, you are not doing that.

Firefox has an obscure option that can be used to turn off this obnoxious behaviour. So I must use Firefox.
You could MITM Signal if you control the cell towers on either end. It would be visible, because the security number would change.

Yes, it is a different experience because with software programming we are letting system programs like the OS handle the hardware and we don't manipulate it directly. And computer hardware is standardised.

Where as when doing hardware programming, you have to necessarily understand the individual hardware to program and control it - there is often no abstract software lawyer in between to make this task easier for us. And the hardwares are quite diverse.

> A bit of a tangent, but am I the only one that thinks there are... too many conferences?

I work for a decade-and-a-half old open-source project which is had genuine collaboration from a number of large companies. We've been having a yearly conference mainly to have face-time and hash out architectural decisions that are difficult to do over email since nearly the beginning; these meetings are really critical for the proper functioning of the project.

But conference venues are getting more expensive. Much more expensive. The cost of hosting a conference has probably tripled in the last 5 years. The boom in conferences is a big part of that.

Our connected world was supposed to make this sort of face-to-face collaboration obsolete. Instead it's made it more common than ever.

I'm not sure if this hits a personal nerve for you, but I think this exactly as balanced as you're insinuating. For example, see the first paragraphs:

--

"Thomas S. Monson, who as president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 2008 enlarged the ranks of female missionaries, but rebuffed demands to ordain women as priests and refused to alter church opposition to same-sex marriage, died on Tuesday at his home in Salt Lake City. He was 90.

"His death was announced on the church’s website.

"Facing vociferous demands to recognize same-sex marriage, and weathering demonstrations at church headquarters by Mormon women pleading for the right to be ordained as priests, Mr. Monson did not bend. Teachings holding homosexuality to be immoral, bans on sexual intercourse outside male-female marriages, and an all-male priesthood would remain unaltered.

"Mr. Monson displayed a new openness to scholars of Mormonism, however, allowing them remarkable access to church records. But as rising numbers of church members and critics joined the internet’s free-for-all culture of debate and exposé, his church was confronted with troubling inconsistencies in Mormon history and Scripture. The church even found itself at odds with an old ally, the Boy Scouts of America, which admitted gay members and gay adults as scout leaders."

Paragraph one has a 'positive' thing (more women in LDS churches) and a 'negative' thing (no support for LGBT marriage).

"Already history has in a sense ceased to exist, ie. there is no such thing as a history of our own times which could be universally accepted, and the exact sciences are endangered as soon as military necessity ceases to keep people up to the mark. Hitler can say that the Jews started the war, and if he survives that will become official history. He can’t say that two and two are five, because for the purposes of, say, ballistics they have to make four. But if the sort of world that I am afraid of arrives, a world of two or three great superstates which are unable to conquer one another, two and two could become five if the fuhrer wished it. That, so far as I can see, is the direction in which we are actually moving, though, of course, the process is reversible."

Sort of like a monad, even!

Honestly if you're running into problems like that though you should probably be using Either instead of Maybe like GP suggested. In my opinion, most of the benefit is still derived from strong static type checking, because otherwise you basically have to trust that callers respect your contract with these types. Perhaps Ruby 3.0 will make this feasible. I'm not sure of the details of the type system they intend to implement; whether it supports ADTs and such.
Sorry, I disagree with the reference to academia: the median quality of academic conference talks is abismal in my experience. Sure they are more technical, but they are also that much less engaging, and target a much more narrow audience. No experimenting with styles and flows, just cookie-cutter formats with lots of text and plenty of citations.

Programmer conferences may have a more open format and obviously that invites some low quality talks, but it also leaves the door open to really amazing, totally experimental formats and topics. I'm thinking of stuff like Gary Bernhardt's "The Birth and Death of Javascript" [1], which would never fly at an academic conference in my experience (or at least would not be appreciated), but was immensely influential in programming circles.

Maybe I’ve just been bitten by the functional bug but I find they can communicate intent much better than scattering around null checks or catching exceptions (many of which require reading the source to understand what exceptions you might get).

It’s great in large scale projects, which I think is where a dynamic language starts to show its warts.

> Sort of like a monad, even!

Yes that's it - they're monads! Either is also a monad, and you can store error information in the other side if you want, but a good thing about Maybe is it could transparently store the error information, and produce it when debugging, rather than baking it into the normal runtime semantics.

> you basically have to trust that callers respect your contract with these types

This is table-stakes for a dynamic language like Ruby, though. Yes people can do anything, but usually they follow the rules they're given.

Is this even true? The only thing "skillful" about CS guns is that they have fixed spray patterns. Otherwise it's very much point and shoot because they're all hitscan. Burst fire weapons (which aren't very popular in CS afaik) take slightly more skill, but still, projectile weapons are objectively more difficult.
It seems like you did not read the article. The article is about a European airport so I'm unsure why you are talking about Americans at all.
Most of your other arguments don't aplly either, for most people working at an airport telecommuting is not really an option, an airport also likely already has good public transport connections.
The whole point about the article is that it's a study on how to change commuting behaviour, and the take home message is, it's difficult you need to have real incentives not just light nudges. No victim blaming to be found.
Completely agree. The issue I see is that at that higher levels, opex is more important for success than familiarity with the specific science. So the people who "grew-up" with the company, who would have detailed understanding of the science, would not necessarily have opex skills commensurate with the requirements the larger organization now requires.
Having complex mechanics on one part of the game does not make the game a non-arcade. It is arcadey on the sense of how it is played. You're playing in small enclosed areas and it is extremely easy to pick up the game. Of course, you can learn the spray patterns but it is not at all required to play the game.

The battlefield series in turn, while not really realistic, has way more moving parts in it thus making it less arcadey.
I've worked on a hobby ballistics simulator for some time now. This is of course a well studied field, with military applications going back hundreds of years. What's interesting (well, it was to me) is that the state if the art is not closed form solutions, because as you refine solutions and take into account bullet spin, wind, Coriolis effect etc, that becomes too cumbersome. Modern ballistics uses discrete simulation to calculate trajectories.

I have played a bullet hell type game (2d) where bullets were actual 2d objects (mostly discs) but the player ship's hitbox was just a point, even though the ship itself was drawn as a somewhat bigger shape.

I guess this made the collision detection a bit faster and also made the game more dramatic - the close calls were bullets passing through the ship.

The classification models aim to predict whether the monthly stock market return is positive or negative. I wonder how you modify a classification problem when some errors are more costly than others (other than just treating it as a regression problem).

> I played this game more than any other in the 1980s.

Me, too. My brother and I played whenever we couldn't be outside, or needed a break from Legos.

One of the best aspects of the game is that it featured cooperative play: it could be configured such that one player would move the character, and the other would aim and fire the pistol. It was a clever enhancement to single-player, and made the game twice as fun. We almost never played alone.

An interesting bug we discovered was that you could shoot, toss grenades, and even search and stick up guards through walls at outside corners. We mostly played on our Atari 800; I've always wondered if the Apple II version behaved the same way.

If anyone is interested, just 'sudo apt install atari800' and get the ROM from atarimania. (Don't be too critical of the controls if you're playing with xbox-style controllers- they're a terrible substitute for Atari joysticks.) Also, be sure to check out the PDF of the original game instructions, which include handy German translations of all the in-game dialog. ;)
