My philosophy is that creative work can't be scheduled. It can't be forced.

Moreso as the time allotted goes up and the arete of life goes down.

My most productive, correct, happy, focused work comes when all of my needs are met excellently and when I feel like it. You can't tell me when to have a very good day of work, but the more you take care of me, the more often, intense, and extensive my best days are.

40 hour work days are for drones, slaves, people doing mindless or obvious work. I'll call that Drudgery. Its opposite I'll call Art.

Hire a painter to create new works, 9-5, and you'll get something which with shallow judgement looks like art, tries to be, but is simply not. Become a patron of an artist and you might get something real.

People are learning that art is not drudgery and when you confuse the two you get bad quality work, inefficient work, and bad quality life.

Ok? That computer isn't particularly adversarial. Presumably if you're capable of fixing this car yourself the computers will present you with no difficulty, if you don't know how to fix cars with computers then the Tesla probably isn't for you.

It's completely trivial for non-US people and companies to rent US servers and make the request from there. Or just compromise something.

"Government AWS" exists, and may well be better than letting non-experts build their own.
This is partly what I was trying to convey with the "turning this aphorism into a question" fragment. Sometimes it is just not possible, or it is too expensive, to increase hardware performance.

Premature optimization, or at least one of its manifestations, is failing to consider the opposite.
There's an abundance of material online to get through an entire CS program on your own, if this is your desire. The problem I've seen with self-study, unless you are disciplined, chances are you will not stay the course, even if you follow a plan, unless you're single, with plenty of time/energy to burn toward a program.

My suggestion would be to enroll in a college and pay for your education. This way, you'll be more motivated because the pace will be imposed and it will cost you more than your time if you don't do the work required to pass and more importantly, learn something of value.
These corporations are part of the society and they get to bear their share of the blame.
Considering the disproportional impact that these corporations have on the legislature, I'd say they should probably should much (if not all) of the blame. Just take your minimum wage example; how much money do you think was spent in lobbying and cozying up to politicians to prevent exactly that, a living minimum wage?

Their tax-avoidance schemes and their lobbying have robbed society of resources that are needed to address and ameliorate the many problems we face.
If trading with Taiwan were illegal in China and I wanted to do business in China of course I wouldn’t do both and set foot in China. That’s the reality with working with any country, including city state Singapore. I also wouldn’t expect any of the same luxuries that the western legal systems might provide.

But the CFO was arrested for financial fraud, and I would also be expected to be arrested if I engaged in financial lying with China, whether I was in China at the time of lying or not.
Thanks for this. Things like the placebo effect and somaticism are egregiously overstated and used as hand-wavers for a lot of very real problems.

From my experience, this is not the case, not for a long time now, at least.

With proper architecture, all you need is plain React (no frameworks) with `styled-components` for everything - i.e., server rendering, client rendering, and hydration.

The architecture I'm describing is a fully top down approach, with concerns separated into API, UI, and App components, where the route dictates the data to be fetched, which is passed as a `store` to the layout to be rendered, with each layout being a composition of the UI components, App components, and occasional API components. I've had a lot of success with this approach and it is, in my opinion, the simplest way, incredibly easy to follow and maintain, and extremely minimal for what is actually being achieved.

With this architecture, switching between server-only rendering and client-only rendering and/or some combination of both becomes a matter of minutes, or even just seconds if you have some env var switches in place.

All my types (and `#define`s) have some semantic meaning only I and non of my tools understand.

It is nice if a tool understands those and for an `emit` suggests only my signals for auto-completion, but if it lists them along all other members it is fine.

So I can see the argument from a puristic view, but in practice, once my built is setup to run it (cmake automoc or something), it simply works.

My issue with Qt is that the API design comes from days very long ago, where they did fantastic work on keeping compatibility, while not adopting to "modern C++" which always requires me to rethink the way I write code. Also integrating with non-Qt code isn't always easy due to reliance on QString (which has value Unicode features), QList (which meanwhile has many std-like APIs) etc. which easily travel through all layers. Thus when staying inside At it's really nice and quite consistent, but integrating is hard.

I'm not really into military doctrine, but why not just leave all the flying stuff to the Air Force or maybe specialized parts of the Navy? When you look up US air units/forces, there is a bunch of stuff left to the national guards, marines etc. and flying is obviously something to be taken seriously. And it looks like they are more likely to screw it up or take it less seriously.
They do more than aggregate public sources. I looked into it in 2013, and found data in maxmind that was available from no public sources.

Benefits and Use Cases of White Label Crypto Exchange Software

I never said Rust was the most tedious language, and I would hope it has learned something from those decades old languages.

I agree that Rust has some usability issues which can be improved upon without sacrificing safety and performance, but I think that trade off will always be there at some level.

For example, Swift’s copy-on-write makes it very easy to reason about value types, but comes at the cost of performance since there will be a lot of copies which aren’t strictly necessary. You can get essentially the same behavior in Rust by cloning everything, but it takes a lot more typing and adds visual noise to your code, because Rust has made the default to be more parsimonious with memory usage.

At some level trade offs have to be made. No one language can be all thing a to all people.
Of course you can!

As others have suggested, Samsung DeX does this. I was forced to use it for a while when my laptop was broken. My older Galaxy S8 required buying a DeX Station to make it work, but that includes some USB ports that let me plug in external hard drives and even my Focusrite Scarlett audio interface for connecting my studio speakers. I used Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but it also worked with USB.

For simple HTML editing I ended up using an app called Quoda, the closest I could find to Panic's Coda with an integrated editor and FTP:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.henrythomp...

DeX isn't something I've used long term, partly because I can't use it in a cafe (there's no laptop DeX form factor), and mostly because much of my work requires Windows software. But I was still very impressed at how much I could get done. For some people it would easily be all they need.

I built promnesia, a browser extension to connect together different data sources and enhance browser history.
E.g. if you visit some blog post or youtube video you had in your bookmarks, you would be able to tell if it was coming from your reddit saved posts, or if your friend sent it to you on telegram.

First of all, I don't live in the US.

I pay taxes to my government so that they build infrastructure, run public services, etc. Foreign governments normally don't do anything for me, so I don't pay them taxes (unless I'm travelling or doing business abroad, etc)

I can think of no scenario where it would be acceptable that my government intercepts and manipulates a device that I ordered. If they would do that, I would protest and complain loudly.

Also, I'm not "ruled" by my government. The government provides services and creates laws for the people. I don't live in a dictatorship.

Yeah my experience in the Marines resonates with this a lot. So many training meetings about how drinking and driving was bad, followed by a meetup at the bar. Even during the presentations the officers in charge would joke about it. None of it was ever taken seriously. The best example of double-talk I have in real life. Way they would talk about "partying in Okinawa" was always creepy when you consider the Marines' history there.

Not blaming anyone specifically of course. I feel for anyone who feels like they need to drink to get through their days. Just think it's also a good example of CO's talking big but meaning nothing, and that attitude trickles all the way down the chain.

> Sure, GPU.

Not GPGPU no, dedicated decoding blocks in the SoC. That's why getting hardware support in the phones is a Big Deal for video codecs (audio as well, to a somewhat lesser extent but support in the audio decoding block means audio playback can happen completely off CPU and let it sleep).

> But do phones have gaming-level GPU?

Not in the "modern PC gaming-class GPU". They have efficient GPUs but simply don't have the physical, thermal or energetic headroom.

In GFLOPS, higher-end phone GPUs are roughly where desktop GPUs were 10 years ago or so (though obviously there are other factors like texturing units and the like).

I admit to fawning for functional languages like Haskell, Clojure and OCaml for fun, but it seems like they are not more popular because having many additional, higher-order constructs makes code “obsfucated” behind clever features rather than written as simply as possible (but no simpler). Maybe for a coding shop full of insane geniuses (i.e., quants, CalTech aerospace, physicists or Stanford research department) it’s all good, but the learning curve of tight functional code is too steep in the vast majority of situations. Even if it’s good, clean and small code, functional is too often a “white elephant” because of the dearth of its practitioners. Hence the pervasiveness of C++, Java, .NET, Python and especially JS.

One the fundamental UX, copy-writing, devops/sysadmin and programming axioms is:

Here's an easy to read introduction to over-testing and over-diagnosis. This isn't talking about false postives. It's talking about harm caused by actual positives. https://ebm.bmj.com/content/23/1/1

Gerd Gigerenzer has done a lot of work on this, so his books are useful. Reckoning With Risk or Risk Savvy are good.

> What I would prefer to see is that screening comes with patient education so they understand the potential risks and inaccuracies and then let 'er rip. If something goes south, it's on them.

Informed choice should already be built into all healthcare systems because it's a feature of international human rights laws and patients are usually allowed to decline to have a test done. And there's usually a doctor somewhere who'll perform an unnecessary test if you're prepared to pay.

Communicating risk is difficult.

We know that merely giving people information and letting them take full responsibility won't work. We know it won't work because we already study whether people understand the risks of testing and treatment, and we find a disturbingly large number of people don't, and that includes the HCPs recommending the testing and treatments.

Most people struggle with this question: "A machine has been invented to scan a population for a disease. The machine is good but not perfect. If you have the disease there is a 90% chance it will return positive. If you do not have the disease there is a 1% chance it will return positive. About 1% of the population have the disease. Mr Smith is tested, and the test comes back positive. What's the chance Mr Smith actually has the disease?"

But the problem of lack of numeracy is more severe: only 20% - 25% of people understand that 0.1% is 1 in 1,000. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3310025/

People do not understand the difference between "absolute" vs "relative" risk increases, so we see newspapers reporting "100% increase in risk from eating X" when the numbers are an increase from 1:100,000 to 2:100,000 deaths.

The various forces do different things in the air. I'm not super knowledgeable about this, so someone might have more details.

Air Force is general flight missions. They tend towards support and recon.

Navy is focused on carrier support and sea missions.

Marines are focused on CAS and both land and sea missions. Lot of helicopters as well.

So each branch takes different responsibilities. I don't think this is an issue of Marines not being good enough to fly, as there are very talented Marine pilots around the world. Instead, these Marines weren't being given the resources and training they needed, and were being ignored by the higher chain. The argument that Marines don't take things as seriously is a little ridiculous.
Funny coincidence. I just finished The Count of Monte Cristo and started reading The Master and Margarita after that few days ago. Nice to see that they are well recommended here.
How much optimization you need depends on the situation. The first question is for how many concurrent users are you going to write it for. In most cases O(n^2) is too much unless you know that in practice n is always going to be less than 10. Even then you should be quite certain that n is never going to become bigger, which you very often aren't. Removing constant factors, i.e., turning 3*n into n, should only be done if it is not difficult and is not bad for code quality in most cases. But at some point you should start removing these constant factors. Maybe if you need to handle more than 10000 requests a second. These numbers are highly variable depending on the application, the language and the use.

and probably many more (e.g. the Nokia N900 was already more of a laptop than a phone). However, all of them flopped for being too inconvenient (needing lots of cables/peripherals), too slow, too thick or just too "early".

For comparison "VR" has been tried extensively already in the 1990s by Sega, Nintendo and others. It flopped. Now it is coming again and even has a Half-life game in the works. However, I am not too optimistic it will succeed this time.
