There's browser-based versions of excel and probably every other component in office. It's always clunkier in my opinion, and loses some features or other depending on what it is. The added layer of security also adds annoyances (like getting constantly kicked out after a period of inactivity) and new bugs.

To the user I'd say it's a trade-off that gains you little or nothing and loses a lot over native apps. The benefits of switching to browser and cloud based apps go to the organization you work for the and software companies selling the products.

If you have a 95% match on something nontrivial (and it likely won't diverge significantly), I'd go for merging even with 2 cases. At least merge most of the common parts.

Reading a couple of ifs, and some not-quite duplicate procedures seems much better than having a complete 2-set in cross-refenenced files.
> Everything has a price

This idea needs to die. It is simply not true.

It's so stupid to say that, and clearly only people obsessed with money actually believe it. We're killing the planet in the quest for ever more money, and tons of people have absolutely no interest in more money. They want more time and more health.

My experience is the same. Children drank milk with meals, while adults drank coffee, tea, or water and juice at breakfast. I got my first taste of coffee at about 7 while eating lunch with my father in the fields.

Perhaps someone in the restaurant business could say how often adults order milk compared with children.

There are many terrible things in the world. People naming themselves Mike Rotch isn't one of them. Certainly not as "terrible" as denying hundreds of thousands of people a service.

> men delaying preventative medical treatment.

In the case of HPV caused cancer this is because there is (rightly) a massive screening program for cervical cancer and yet most men that have sex with men don't even know that they are at increased risk of HPV caused throat cancer. Similar programs exist for other diseases that exclusively affect women. They do not for diseases that exclusively or disproportionately affect men.
You don't need "new" programmers. Just dust off some "old" programmers who are now merely 40-50 years old. There's plenty of life still in us, and we can tell a pointer from a hole in the ground.

I disagree. The compiler is normally something that receives major updates in every new distribution release. That's why language specs exist for.

If you are maintaining a large number of machines in an enterprise environment, you're not keen on updating half of the installed system just because you update your browser, simply because the necessary testing and fixing of regressions costs a lot of time and money for no real gain for both users and administrators.
Indeed, Cogmind's been my full time job for over 6 years now so far and still pays the bills every month. 11% of players even use pure ASCII mode :)

Presumably it’s this study: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Elissa_Cameron/publicat...

It cited 60% male to female billionaire ratio on n of 350.

But, the methodology was to use google and Wikipedia for research so a more honest claim might be “male offspring of billionaires show up in search results more often.”

I suppose that factoid wouldn’t have been paid for by the publisher though.

You can get suspended if you make an inappropriate comment on YouTube 8 years ago and it only gets flagged today. Also if someone from your IP does something that flags their account, you can get affected too. The main point is that Google never tells you exactly why you're being suspended because they don't want people figuring out the reasons and working around them.
Dashdevs Year in Review:The Biggest Achievements and Brightest Moments from 2019
I used to run Arch, I don't anymore although not for stability reasons.

13 instances of "manual intervention required" over 6 years seems awesome.

I think I did 2 manual interventions during my time using Archlinux, and each time it took maybe 2 minutes, it was just a matter of copy-pasting the commands in Arch News.

Awesome. I’d add smartOS to that list. ++Qubes.

Although as far as package management in Qubes you’re still stuck with dnf and apt. But they’re pushing progress in other ways. (Are you able to run nix on qubes?)
Because a DVCS has to be distributed. If Alice writes patch p, Bob reverts it, and Charlie unreverts it, you might (without contexts) have three people with different states of the repo:

Alice: {p}
Bob: {p, !p} (or do you write this as {}?)
Charlie: {p, !p, p} = {p, !p}? So I guess this has to be {p}

Suppose these people are pushing and merge if in patches to the master. Then it has no way to distinguish these scenarios:

A:
1. Alice pushes; master applies p
2. Bob pulls, reverts p, pushes. Master reverts p
3. Charlie pulls, reapplies, pushes. Master does ??

B
1. Alice pushes; master applies p
2. Charlie pulls
3. Bob pulls and reverts; master reverts p
4. Charlie pushes

In both cases, the state of Charlie’s repo is the same: {p}, but in case A, p should be applied and in case B, it should not. Therefore there needs to be some additional context (or no applying a patch and it’s inverse).

In other words, this problem is basically having a distributed set with addition, deletion, and readdition of elements, which you can’t have in a nice way. A distributed set that you can only add to, on the other hand, is a lot more easy.
So amazing, all these smart people making commercial games in such a short time, and then there's me still working on the same old thing year after year, even though it was released a long time ago xD
In Austria, we have many people called “Fick“, which literally means “Fuck“.

If the ads was only there to run youtube there would be much much less of them.
What is “research” supposed to mean in this case? It’s a philosophical proposition, one that has been expounded by thousands of cultures throughout history. If anything, justification for an easy, hedonistic life is the rarity.
You overstate a little. Both require overlapping responsibilities from the head of the household.

Both, for example, require someone to be home to feed them (and take care of other biological needs) every day. The amount of effort for a child is much higher, but having a pet or a child both make it impossible to catch an impromptu flight to Vegas or pull an all nighter at work.

And, yes, that does require some emotional maturity and, for some, fill some emotional needs.
But their 'idiosyncratic aesthetic' helps navigating. In the mozilla world, they know their aesthetics ('not invented here'), because its their everyday job and can always work hands on and naturally can be faster. While in the distribution world, where a lot of software comes together, its good that i can find everything in common/familiar places.

Not easy to find a good middle ground and still supporting progress.
I just thought it was unusual that someone would complain about being offended by the beeps that hide the words that other people are offended by. So I pointed out that they must know how the people they're complaining about feel when they hear those words, since they have to hear something (beeps) that they're offended by.

Those while thing was hypocritical and goofy.

That’s your definite Turing test. Stamped, sealed, delivered.
>everything that you like about it will have already been analysed in deep detail by the market, and priced in.

This sounds like some religious creed, with dogmatic status. You do realise that The Market, hallowed be its name, is just people, and people are (often) wrong. The recent high profile news about wework should be a great example of this, or indeed any regular observation of our world.

He just thinks the stock is going to go up in the future, based on his observations. What's so strange about that?
You can have multiple Rust toolchains side by side. This is a non-issue in that case. If there's some other usecase that this breaks, I'd like to know about it and see if we can do something to improve the scenario.
The $12K per year is not from the direct subsidy. That all Dutchies know about. Also, Americans can't get that subsidy. IMO, it's almost always a better play for Americans to study abroad since European uni's are qualitatively high and cheap (compared to US), even unsubsidized.

Maybe there are some subsidies I don't know about, but that would not be general knowledge among Dutch people then.

The subsidies from government work like this:

- A student pays $2k per year (ok euro, whatever, can't find it on keyboard)

- The government pays about $8k per year

That adds up to $10k, bachelors are sligthly cheaper (I only heard the numbers for bachelors).

So if you don't want to pay the subsidy, you need to pay the full $10k (bachelor), or $12k (master)[1].

[1] Prices vary per university between $12k to $25k. About 75% of all education is on the $12k level (I've looked at this a lot), some are at $25k such as dentistry and I think med school is a bit more expensive.

Here are some prices (click on master (pdf) ): https://students.uu.nl/praktische-zaken/geldzaken/collegegel...

I'm now seeing that they have jacked it up since I last checked. I'm wondering what other Dutch universities have done.
If you yell insults at me, I will be offended. It doesn't matter if the words you use are "fuck off", "f*k off" or even "would you be so kind as to vacate the premises by the violent application of a large phallic-shaped object on your rear end".

The entire discussion here has been about being offended by a word, even though that word is used in a context which is not offensive at all.
Ok, makes sense. Thank you for the kind response and I approve of most of it. I think we will have to agree to disagree on the last * though. I think that statement is very much 'it depends.'

Embrace it.
Focusing on what is inevitable isn't healthy. What we can do is develop tools that will evolve us to combat tech. Fight the tech with tech.
Biotech may solve current problems forever. Gene therapy and modification is the future, probably. So you need not worry, give in your fate to the tech overlords.

Or wait until you can live with AR that is good enough to replace your actual social interaction without you developing health problems. All we need to do is create good enough replacement for humans. That is the problem with current social platforms. They are too static. They fail and result in uncanny communication. They aren't able to convey body language, emotions and many other details that actual humans give off.

I am waiting for my robot partner because everyone else in my life just sucks and I can't relate to any of them. Internet provides you power to embrace different culture and world than the one you live in, and sometimes it creates in inevitable environmental and cultural dissonance where you are nothing like anyone else you know. Well, that explains my internet addiction at least.

Where else do you think am I going to find buddies to talk about free software, anime, startups and odd bizarre stuff?

It's important for developers to understand that programming is at least as much about expressing yourself clearly with language, as it is about maths and compsci views of functions. Language that's more verbose, but also adds clarity, is a good thing.

If I had an instruction book on building a cabinet, it wouldn't help to re-list every screw, tool, and their sizes on every single step if I could put a parts list at the front. But it also wouldn't help to collapse every matching group of steps with one or two different parameters together.

>but it doesnt work when you have loops and branching

We managed to make visual programming work well with loops [1] and more or less OK with branching [2]. The trick is to look at loops from a functional perspective (i.e. as iter/map), rather than from imperative.

Even for static business purposes, the target environment changes over time. The OS gets upgraded, security bugs are discovered, dependencies become end-of-life'd, language runtimes are replaced, etc.
I really feel like Flutter would have taken off so much more if Google had just used Typescript instead of using it to push Dart.
I think it’s that in Go multiple return values aren’t a first class value. It’s just two separate values. Whereas in Rust or Haskell they’d be a single, first-class Result<a> (or whatever) value.
Because nobody listens to the scientists. You have two sides where one side thinks we should sacrifice (all) economic growth for the sake of the planet and another that thinks we should sacrifice the (entire) planet for economic growth. The future will hopefully look nothing like either of them. We should find a healthy balance between the two and that means we need a self regulating system and preferably it should resemble something we already have. Landfills charge for disposing of garbage so why not charge for atmospheric pollution? It already exists and is called the Kyoto Protocol.
As of 2015 it was famously not profitable! Maybe they've added more adverts since then? I don't know but I would think at most YouTube earns a normal operating profit. I don't think it's printing money.
There are many options to solve that:

* switch to a shorter stable release cycle (4 weeks, 6 weeks, etc.) with dynamic releases (e.g. if a zero day happens, fix current, and do a new stable release)

* switch to only supporting -current

* switch to something like Nix to allow stable users to "switch" some packages from stable to current, without having to bump their whole system (this would have allowed stable users to update their Firefox-stable to Firefox-current)

A good packaging process should not assume that downstream packages can be trusted to have meaningful processes. Relying on Firefox having -esr releases is a temporary workaround.

I did not said pets don't fill any needs, I said they are completely different then what you get with children.

For cat, you can put enough food to bowl and have someone else wisit a day after to change it.

You can absolutely pull all nighters with cat. The cat will be fine.

I dislike the panning of "clean code" in the article because I really think that duplication can be clean as shown. Clean code has a quality of comprehension, not simply a lack of duplication.

The example given is pretty typical actually - where you can frame the problem in a way that your solution ends up without duplication yet the solution requires mental gymnastics to get your head around. We've all been there in the pursuit of the perfect code.

"Write code that immediately makes sense to someone with half your smarts" is a far better guideline than "don't repeat yourself".
I just realized my terminology was way wrong. Sorry.

> My problems only become relevant when trying to contribute to projects that already use Pijul/Nest (Carnix).

Well, but then you can't blame others for using their preferred tools rather than your preferred tools. Also, Git doesn't work for Carnix, because its main author (me) is completely overwhelmed with too many projects and wouldn't want to add the additional project of managing Git branches.
I think there’s a large emotional aspect: If you’re hungry and a bit tired (from a lot of exercise not stress), generally in a positive mood, and not super focused on the taste of the food then it’s going to taste a lot better than if you don’t particularly feel the need to eat, you’re a bit stressed, and you’re focused on perfecting sausage flavour.

In other words, it’s probably quite easy to enjoy an ok sausage if it’s come from some random grill in a park because you’ll be focused on having a good time with your friends or family in a park more than on whether the sausage tastes good. If you make it at home (even if you’re inviting those same people) you can easily get yourself worked up about cooking the perfect sausage and whether the temperature is right and whether the time is right and so on, that you’ll just feel like the sausage doesn’t taste so good (and you’ll probably be more careful and critical about tasting the sausage).

Then again maybe the sausages were just undercooked in the park. Or maybe you used different sausages (I’ve found much more variance between sausages being made differently than how they are cooke)
Great point. The sharing economy destroyed an entire set of spaces like this... when hosting a couchsurfer, I was told that I could make a ton using Airbnb instead. That money wasn’t the point was lost on this guest — but thankfully not the many other world travelers I was able to share my local area with.

Airbnb or VBRO offers great experiences on their own, but introducing a transaction turns everyone into a service provider or customer, and brings a set of expectations to both.
Right, I get that part (sort of).

But looking at the quickstart, you typically don't subclass Bottle, you require it, and call run()? So your typical bottle app won't be a subclass of bottle? At which point you can't make an instance of it, to pass to mount()?

Looking at the documentation for mount() it looks like you should be able to mount the quick-start app - but it's not clear of you create an instance to pass to mount?

That is if I have example.py:

from bottle import route, run, template

@route('/hello/<name>')
def index(name):
return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name)

run(host='localhost', port=8080)

How do I write example_mount.py that mounts example.py under /hello1 and /hello2?
No, he thinks the company has an interesting and strong business model, which is not the same as saying the stock will go up.
For another example, the British Raj originated when the British East India Company conquered India. There's nothing historically unusual about a private company operating its own military force.
I don’t know if you’re looking for an actual discussion or just prowling around for opportunities to link to logical fallacies. Assuming the best intentions...

My question stands: what does research mean in this case? Are you looking for a scientific study which confirms or denies that “difficulty is more authentic?” It is a question beyond the purview of science. The arguments for such a view would be found in philosophical and religious texts.

You are trying to employ the "Gish Gallop" and throw all sorts of irrelevant noise to muddy the waters. What do Gwyneth Paltrow, Alex Jones etc. have to do with Medicine?. If you think physicians are looking at Ayurveda/TCM/Yoga etc. only for the money/ego/fad then you really don't know what you are talking about. Don't waste my time with nonsense.

You are also cherry-picking articles with sensational headlines eg. your last link about usage of Turmeric is an article which is very clearly sheer stupidity and nothing to do with the medicine itself.

Here is something for your edification;

Efficacy of Curcumin(Turmeric) - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664031/

Read the book "Herbal Medicine: Biomolecular and Clinical Aspects" for scientific research on a variety of traditional herbs. Centuries of "Empirical Data" is what is being put to test to identify efficacy. This is the proper scientific method and not the offhand dismissal that you seem to embrace.

You are also very wrong about "Yoga and Meditation" being merely "Exercise and Relaxation". Read the following;

* A Physiological Handbook for Teachers of Yogasana

* Zen & the Brain

That should hold you for a while.
