I worked for a company that developed mobile apps for big companies.
One of those apps was for a Hotel chain, and the developers complained that the PMS API was _horrible_. In order to make the app usable, the company had to develop a backend to cache everything the PMS returned (mostly was static content).
How come Vue doesn't need this stuff then?
They need to benchmark Lua. Lua is ridiculously concise when it comes to implementing algorithms.

There have been a few fonts I was interested in until I saw the several-hundred dollar bill and the license that basically restricted any useful application of the font. No wonder why startups commission their own fonts these days, so they can own them.

Typography and calligraphy is an art form so it does justify the expense, but you've got to be able to actually use it.
This has been my only argument for years for not switching to Linux. I've realized I haven't used Photoshop in more than two years now. I either work on projects where the designers provide me with already cut and ready to use props, or I work with people using Figma.

My only argument now is that my Macbook is still working and I don't "have" to spend 2k on a Thinkpad. :)
My point of view: Even I have the same aversion towards TypeScript. I feel it's about the language construct. Coming from a PHP & JavaScript background, I love the duck typed languages - as opposed to the typed ones.

I love the freedom of assignment without declaring the data type and mixing & matching the assignment of different types of data and reusing the variable. I don't really see a reason why should I use TypeScript, if I am coding stuff with, say, Notepad or Vim.
How is something meant as a durable store or not? I've worked in companies that had only ES as a database for years and they didn't had complaints. I've seen it working mostly well in these orgs and because of my now experience with it would likely strongly consider it as a database just like mongo and friends with the benefits of having a very large ecosystem (elk, beats etc.) Which can make it a one stop shop for all things in an org

Confused about the wording and the intent of the author, looks like it's genuine.

The only other time I've seen paean used as a word is when a group of US navy POWs in North Korea praised it saying 'we paean [Kim/NK]' while secretly meant 'pee on'
I do not allow myself on the Internet after 5 pm unless it has to do with studying, work or shopping. If my mind wants to wander around and browse the Internet, it's free to explore the currently open tabs (that were opened and abandoned before 5 pm) and/or bookmarks. This helps me keep the deluge of info at bay and clear out the old tasks/bookmarks.
I use to study parallel and distributed systems, and my entry to the field was to write parallel prolog codes in SWI Prolog. At the same time, working with Transputers and programming them with Occam helped me to understand concurrent programming better.
SMAC is solidly in my top 10 games of all time, moreso than some of Sid's more recent 4X games. SMAC has a lot of elements that I think are still unique from the Civilization series: elevation, weather, terraforming, cities on water tiles, useful satellites, more types of combat, and even the ability to create your own unit types. It ties a story to "barbarians" (alien mind worms) and technology advancement. It ties the difficulty of the aliens to how much pollution you generate and what civic choices you make: is your government pro-aliens or anti-aliens?
Ha! Ok... sorry. I wasn't entirely sure, "pregnant words of poets" are themselves pregnant words of a poet, after all.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to be condescending by pointing you at a dictionary -- I'm not a native speaker myself and thought you might find it useful the next time you come across something that doesn't immediately make sense.
It was very surreal moving from a team using idea for java development to a team using vim for python development.

A lot of the smartest people are super productive and super considerate of all the possible codepaths when making changes.
Bugs still occur due to statically discoverable coding errors.

Just how much harder it is to navigate a new codebase is staggering.
Thanks for sharing. Very informative. Especially this quote gave me pause:

> I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for all the time and effort involved in debunking Matthew Walker’s book. As someone who works with individuals with insomnia on a daily basis, I know from firsthand experience the harm that Walker’s book is causing.

> I have many stories of people who slept well on less than eight hours of sleep, read Walker’s book, tried to get more sleep and this led to more time awake, frustration, worry, sleep-related anxiety, and insomnia. …

And yet Vancouver has a terrible problem with the homeless, who are as aggressive as any I've seen in the US. From what I can tell, they do have better services than most places in the US but that doesn't seem to have translated into a reduced homeless population or better behavior by the homeless. If you're a homeless person, Vancouver probably is a better place than most of the US, but for the average resident it doesn't seem like there is much of a difference.
Reindexing is not very different from a database schema migration. Depending on data size it can be troublesome but I can't see a blog having that sort of issue ever.

I haven't seen indices getting corrupted in the last 4 years of having worked with it in production systems heavily. Not saying it can't happen but just haven't seen since elasticsearch 2.x
per the post, Krita has 5 paid developers and if you look at the front page, for the month of december they have received donations of about $2500. If donations are the major source of funding, they are severely underfunded.

If some of us have budgets that allow for it, might not be a bad idea to send some money their way.
Ha, if this disturbs you, wait to see what's going to happen when we perfect under display cameras. Your TV may be watching you, just as much as you're watching it.
As a Java developer, I still like Python as a language for small to medium-sized programs, or: scripts, if your will. To me, it's just quick to iterate. The condition is, though, that I need to be able to quickly run the program to validate just all of it to work. In other words, when it comes to test coverage and longevity and reliable refactoring it gets hard. I'm sure these things are possible in Python too (I know there's testing frameworks, although it seems more of an eclectic mess than Java, which seems to have mostly settled on a small set of established testing libraries instead) but somehow the Python projects I stumbled upon have less of a testing and thus maintainability culture than the Java projects I stumbled upon. I have often wondered why that is, and I keep getting back to culture. Maybe that's too simple, and maybe the testing is just fine for business applications, and maybe my general usage of Python is too much command-like scripting, where testing and mocking is just a little harder to do...
When I tried penciling out electric motorcycles it seemed like you run into scaling problems.

Compare Model 3 at 4000lbs with a 60kwh battery. Vs a Zero SR at 485lbs and a 14.4kwh battery. The Zero weighs 1/8th as much but the battery is 1/4. The SR has 1/2 range to boot.

Not trying to piss on electric motorcycle by any means. It's just difficult to make an electric motorcycle match a gasoline one spec for spec, especially at the same price point.
Serious question: how is slack doing now that Microsoft is using all is muscles to push Teams?

Maybe the slack board is in panic mode because of that?
I was in a similar situation last year. So I put everything in a subdirectory, pushing bookmarks, etc, into an email-like structure. Then I wrote a script to count how many things there were to deal with, and chose an arbitrary deadline of Nov 30, 2019.

I had nearly 5000 items.

That told me how many things I had to deal with per day, and more importantly, for each day, it told me my target for how many there should be remaining, and how many did actually remain.

I then wrote a script that listed the oldest 5, the most recent 5, and 5 chosen at random. Every day I ran that script and without fail dealt with those items. The mantra was:

* Delete;

* Defer;

* Delegate;

* Deal with.

"Defer" doesn't simply mean "put off" - it means that it is waiting for something before it can be done, so it goes in a special "pending" queue.

Then I also processed items that let me hit my numbers. Some were easy and I could far enough ahead of the game to let me take a day off, but mostly I just ran my "Choose 3x5" script again.

There were days when I slipped, and days when I got further ahead, but by November 1st I was down to under 200 items to deal with. And I've stayed at that, but now it's churn.

The secret, I found, was to have destinations for everything. Look at one of your bookmarks - why are you saving it? Where should it go? What should you do with it? Does it fit in an existing project? Do you need to create a new project? Should you simply file it for recall later when you need it?

* Does it require action?

* Should it simply be filed?

In my case, things built up because I didn't really know what to do with the thing I was looking at, so it went in the "Queued" pile and festered.

Deal with 10 things. Have destinations for them all.

Then you've made a start.
My wife's CPAP machine has LTE and phones home her sleep patterns to her doctor and presumably insurance company. Whole thing makes me really uncomfortable.
I recently found a particularly rare/esoteric song on Google Play Music, specifically because I wanted to hear more like it. The song was "Light" by Idyllic.

I clicked "Start radio" and the first song was "light", of course. Then all the next 10 songs were by Idyllic only, no other artists. After that half the songs were Idyllic, the other half were....songs from my "Thumbs Up" playlist (any song I had previously liked).

I repeated the process several times thinking there was a bug mixing in my thumbs-up playlist.

Eventually I realized I'm the first person to ever listen to this song on Google Play Music and it used only me as the first bayesian filter - so I just got my own music suggested back to me.
The days are coming where STBs and TV's can do Direct Ad Insertion right on top of your existing video stream, either augmenting or outright replacing other advertisers content. Going to be super interesting..
I disagree that “enmeshment” is always bad. What we do, especially when we are fortunate enough to choose and enjoy our careers, are fundamental to who we are and the narrative that work is solely there to provide income is not always true.

We spend the majority of our time, effort, and thought around our work. To say that none of this should touch on our identity would be doing a disservice to the majority of our time spent living.

It is true, that some people are not “enmeshed”, but are consumed with work, but what about the people that do find happiness and fulfillment in their “high-powered” job? Dan’s failure to recognize his own needs are not a reflection of “enmeshment” being bad, but a reminder that if you do not pay attention to your own wants and desires you will be unhappy, regardless of how successful you are. That if you do need the job and hate it, to make sure you’re making the right trade-offs to have a happy life - see the recommendations in the article for how.
Until recently, the existing industry was shipping more battery electric vehicles than Tesla. Nissan Leaf sells very well, as do BMW, Chevy, and several other OEMs.

I think it may be partly to do with the fact that a lot of people do not like using an IDE. Then they don't get as much of the benefit. (Particularly a few years ago there was a lot of negativity about IDEs on forums like this)
You’d still have a better car if you took modern drivetrain with 90s knobs.

The touchscreen revolution in cars is a dumpster fire. Literally every aspect of the controls on my last couple of cars has been a regression.
To the extent that I care about, or claim any affiliation with any of these terms, I could probably loosely be described as a "classical liberal". I don't use the term much though, because most people don't appreciate the nuanced distinction between that and the modern usage of "liberal" (at least here in the US).

I'm also a little more radical than most people, and if I have to pick a label for myself, I'm more likely to choose "voluntaryist", "anarcho-capitalist", or "libertarian".
some may say that it was randomness
Something that uses Repl.it or tio.run or klipse would be even better.
My takeaway is that I must make decisions and take action if I am to live the life I want, in a manner that makes me happy. Nobody else will do that for me, and if I live my life on autopilot I will be extraordinarily disappointed when I look back over my life and see that I never took life by the horns and charted my own course.

It's on me, and that is equal measures exciting and (some days) terrifying.

I lost my Mum to cancer earlier this year, and she was exactly 30 years older than me. If I live to the same age as her I only have 30 summers left for all the hiking and camping and exploring I want to do. I only have 30 winters left for all the snowboarding and winter fun I want to have. Most important of all I only have 30 years left to spend time with family, friends, community, food, laughs and good times.

I have a lot that I want to cram into those 30 years, and I'm going to be my own pilot to make damn sure it happens.

In my humble opinion, as it applies to me and me alone:

Earning money is the worst of all false gods to chase. We in the western world have lost our path, and it's making us miserable. I met thousands of people in Africa that are happier and more joyous than virtually everyone I've ever met in Canada, Australia or the US.

Money is not the path the happiness, and I don't ever want to fall into that. I only ever want to earn enough money for food and shelter, and every minute otherwise I don't want to be at work making someone else rich. I want to spend those remaining 30 years enjoying myself and bringing happiness to those in my life, not earning money thinking it will somehow get me there in an abstract way.

But, what do I know? I'm only 37 after all. I have a lot to learn.

I disagree. See the CA privacy law (CCPA) and the successor that will be on the ballot in November. Those give us the chance to establish meaningful defaults.
I am aware of that. I am not comparing my experience but rather taking average as a baseline.

If 40 out of 50 people end up in poverty in my neighborhood, then chances are I will given how similar metrics for ending in poverty is.
Of course it's not always good but not sure where I can draw a line when I feel 'something' is not satisfying.

You can compare it to people who are unaware that they are depressed or have mental issues after pressure to accept it and reinforced narrative that everyone goes through it surrounding them.

Some comparison is needed :/ and it is too hard for someone who feels mostly the same when achieving something valued by society vs achieving nothing. Enjoying the journey is cool and all but it's a trap if all your motivation or enjoyment comes from self praise and you are not dependent on external stimuli for it. Being too critical of your self can be addicting itself but I haven't really find a way to balance things out and I doubt I ever will unless I change the fundamental blocks of who I have been so far.
That is a disturbingly challenging thing to do and seems more effort than being a druggie and early death :3

Not really - either you send the ids unencrypted and they're trivial to falsify, or you send them securely, in which case it takes a lot more power to decrypt each request for filtering than it does for the attacker to send each new request.

DDoS protection is surprisingly challenging - usually it's relegated to a CDN provider, but that would be more difficult when the actual consumers are the same people most likely to be hosting botnets.
I know. I was picking a vaguely related example.

It doesn't work at all for me. I always get the same results no matter what I type on the search box.
you can fall into either group by selecting what you care about the most and giving up others. Group where others in the group have made similar compromises.

Sure, you could do that, and people do. The point though, is that it makes these terms mostly useless for actually describing anything. Let's say I chose to define myself as "right" because I care more about the second amendment than abortion. You see me self-identify as "right" and then conclude that I oppose abortion, support tight border control, want a legal system defined by Judeo-Christian ethics, etc. But all of those conclusions would actually be wrong. And the same kind of construction could be applied to what would happen in the other case.

That said, of course there are some people who just happen to fit exactly into the bucket of "right" or "left" as defined by colloquial usage. But I still find that the terms are mostly useless because they lack any kind of logical consistency and because so few people actually have that "exact fit". But, that's just me.
Crikey. If you say so.
How many of the emails are notifications of content or other spam? Get rid of them. Stop any and all social spam. Now deal with the actual important email such as correspondence from clients. As for the other junk the unread articles and posts.. mark them read or delete the notices and move on. If you find yourself with free time you can go hunting for interest but this stuff should never control your life
The Cybertruck can go much lower then most trucks because of active suspension. So clearly the Cybertruck.
Finally someone else notices.

Major benefit is the car is "topped off" every morning, so charging time is practically zero most of the time.
I disagree. On the other side is static languages adding things such as "auto" and other ways to automate trivial tasks. Type annotations in dynamic languages is the flip-side, trying to reach this "ideal middle" from the other end.

What's great with Python type annotation is that you can give it as much as you want, and it'll do the best it can with that. If you don't want to give it any type, then don't. If you want to give type for one function, then only do for that. You get to choose how deep down the well you wan to go.

The numbers are thrown around with nobody really understanding what they mean. China have a collective debt to GDP ratio of 255%, which means all persons, corporations, local government, and central government have a debt that collectively sum up to 2.5 times the GDP. The Central government itself have debt amounting to 47.6% of GDP.

Meanwhile, US federal government have debt approaching 100% of American GDP, and guess what? Private people and corporations in US hold more debt, I have yet to find a comprehensive collective debt to economy ratio for the US, and I would very much appreciate that number since we can then compare apple to apple.

Also, honorary mention to Japan, whose public government debt exceeded 200% of their economy.
I think you would have a similar problem as audio gear. You can know all of the specs but there is some hidden info in the processor/GPU architecture that is only determined by performance testing. Same as audio gear is mostly affected by implementation in the design than the raw specs of drivers
All very impressive -- hope this guy is as happy as his scrupulously cultivated brand requires and celebrates.

But I wonder if this represents a cautionary tale -- someone who took their non-"desk job" and assiduously commoditized their adventures. The 110% workaholism never stopped.

the problem with the Cybertruck is going to be its size, it's humongous, it's in the same class as a Ford F-250. Going to be hard for a lot of folks to find the space for that behemoth, especially for the people that like to camp but don't have hard core needs like farmers and construction workers. I think Rivian will have the suburban-outdoors people market down pat if they ever manage to actually ship and the car doesn't suck.
Even more massively to me, this was a very low barrier for entry for beginners who want to learn how everything works. It was a major point in favor of Ubuntu, coming from Windows, when I started experimenting bit over a decade ago.

Going binary is like going back to Windows. If systemd was how Ubuntu worked 15 years ago, it's likely I wouldn't have seen the advantage and wouldn't have bothered switching.
How did you get across the Darien Gap?

> Being ethical means no planned obsolescence, or otherwise churning out new variants of the same thing to keep sales up.

If you buy "TV as a service" instead of as a product, the effect is basically that the company providing the service will do the opposite of planning for obsolescence.

Perhaps this is the kind of company you are looking for?

2008-2009 was not totally black swan, but even then crazy things happened in the options market. An option is a contract. Counterparty insolvency, or in some other way allowed to not cough up. Both have happened under less extreme circumstances than a black swan.

I'd rather avoid the counterparty risk.
WOW! Thanks! How many decades was that, and I lost only 1 bit!
