And compilers are effectively a rudimentary form of test. They are not sufficient, nor necessary but they do validate some basic assumptions about the code.
Shame and the homogeneous makeup of the population likely play large roles.

Comparing China to Japan won't do any good as the cultural revolution decimated its social capital.

In my experience "blkdiscard /dev/DESTINATION_DISK" does improve the speed of dd'ing a disk to another one quite a bit though.

And that does make some sense IMHO:
If the SSD's internal datastructure which keeps track of pages which hold user-data is empty then each write will consume less time for looking up if the specific sector is contained in the datastructure.
What do you mean by there are only legal protections for generics? As I understand it, original developers have the protections, not generics .
To install in VS Code, one edits Settings - Commonly Used - Editor: Font Family.

It would appear that one needs the Font Family name, which one can guess. To be sure in all cases, I made a MacOS alias:

alias fonts="system_profiler SPFontsDataType | grep 'Family:' | perl -pe 's|^.*Family: ||' | sort -u"

However, how does one select weights, such as defaulting to

JetBrains Mono Medium

It turns out that one can enter a raw font file name in place of the family, such as

JetBrainsMono-Medium

However, any formatting that selects a different style, such as italics, will default to the family. So for example, italic comments are rendered for me in regular not medium weight. I'm fine with this, but it's a quirk that can only be fixed by spelunking into the individual syntax highlighting files.
Driving 280 in 1983 was one of the most significant events in getting me to want to move here from Chicago.

I don't think it was the lack of billboards. But if there were billboards, it sure would feel different.
It is better to use OS codesigning than hand-built codesigning because then the OS can enforce it -- e.g. App A can't overwrite App B. Anything you hand-roll can be unrolled by an attacker.

I guess my preferred solution for be for Electron to find a way to put the ASAR inside the main binary and find it there and then codesign that, I'm not sure why it hasn't happened yet AFAIK.
The level of corruption is fairly low around here, thankyouverymuch.
Given the current state of best of breed, up close facial recognition, using the term "works" in a life and death scenario is an irresponsible overreach.

> That being said there are a lot of jobs where I have difficulty imagining what mastery looks like; say in an automated, low choice style field like bus driving. I couldn't recognise an expert bus driver from a relative novice. But that probably only reflects my lack of knowledge about bus driving.

Look up "Bus Rodeo". It's basically a skills challenge for bus drivers.

You'll see drivers make maneuvers with 60 foot articulated beasts that the average person would have trouble doing in a normal SUV.
Furniture in general is detrimental to people's general fitness. I'm convinced its primary purpose is class signaling and generating unnecessary business for the economy. Sells bigger homes and office spaces, you need to haul all this junk around whenever you buy it or move it, and it needs to be manufactured and bought in the first place.

If you think about what furniture actually does, it's pretty obvious. It deprives you of an entire range of natural movements and postures a life without furniture forces you to experience regularly.

I've lived without furniture or even a bed for over a decade, and am now middle-aged, and the difference is very obvious when I socialize with folks especially when we're playing board games on a floor or hanging around a campfire.

My flexibility and comfort at squatting and sitting indian style or really any position on the floor is equivalent to that of a child. Most american adults I know can't comfortably sit indian style if they can even get into the position at all, and often need help getting up from the floor or at least let out quite a grunt in struggling to get back up.

In any given day I'm getting up and down from the floor dozens of times. Go do some burpees and see how significant that can be vs. using a chair. I leap up from the ground like it's nothing at all because it's the normal.

Another thing I've learned from one of those investigations of regions with the most oldest living people is many of them have cultures without furniture, where everyone uses the floor primarily and preserves the ability to squat and get up from the floor independently into old age.
I feel like Tesla has optimized it's customer support for rich people who don't bat an eye at a few thousand here and there. I say this as a model 3 owner rather shocked at random costs that pop up from time to time...
Do you know how expensive (and shit) voice-to-text is? Go check out AWS Transcribe prices. Try it out too, see how much nonsense it will spew out.

It's funny as I've literally just done a project on this to automatically classify phone calls. In reality voice recognition is only good at set phrases, most of Google Assistant and Alexa is smoke and mirrors.

It wouldn't even be able to recognise "wine tasting in Woodenville", let alone for it to be economically viable to process every voice like sound in a taxi and make money off adverts.

It's just the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, not Uber recording you.
This hits at a long standing question ive had about how consciousness arises. Its clear that it results mechanistically (obeying physics) from complex systems of simple components. The big question in my mind is whether it arises with a sudden jump (like a phase transition) or if its truly a continuum. I think mathematics may prove much more useful at disentangling this than the article implies.

"Erdős and Rényi (1960) showed that for many monotone-increasing properties of random graphs, graphs of a size slightly less than a certain threshold are very unlikely to have the property, whereas graphs with a few more graph edges are almost certain to have it. This is known as a phase transition (Janson et al. 2000, p. 103)."

This is a good assessment. I believe Japan generally only works for people that already fall in line with societal norms to some extent.

I do wish to believe that a personal freedom society and a society that takes your wallet don't have to be tightly coupled... Although I will say the public shame of Japan is stronger than the private shame of the US.

For some reason it had decided that I am Italian. Took me a while to decipher and bring it back to English
I don't see why they would've done that, given how much it was baked into other stuff behind the scenes throughout the years. Auditing it would be a massive undertaking that I'm not sure even the most well-off organization would like to try.
Whenever that thing about Airbnb comes up I feel compelled to remind that it was a study of eight bugs, three of which ts would've prevented.
I'm not quite sure why you consider "no types" to be one of the best parts of JavaScript, but TypeScript certainly doesn't require the use of types. It just makes the functionality available.
I don't know about that last part. Most Eastern European countries were part of the USSR and underwent massive revolutions. I've even seen them described as low-trust societies, but they seem to do well.
I'm glad to see this, and I hope it's a strong competitor. Stronger competition pushes everyone and we end up with better results as users.

That said, browser debates often come off like the Nintendo versus Sega arguments I remember as a kid. It's funny how people become married to one.
Also === in JS and TS turning into three horizontal lines is really nice for my brain (even though lint catches it). Fira coda retina is still my go-to font, this one doesn't look quite as legible.

For the first case Apple knew about the tracking and said nothing until they had their own app - so we can defend Apple that protects the users privacy only if it benefits them.

Spotify got access months alter after complaints to the EU were made so I am not convinced that Apple is still give equal opportunities to all developers especially when better browser engines exist and you can't use them.

In the early 2000's (pre- and post-9/11) my wife had a job where she would 2-3 times a month get a phone call at 5am and then have to go to the airport and get on the next plane to whatever city was specified by her boss, take care of business, and then return at the end of the day. Paid for her ticket in cash, and her only luggage was her purse and her Palm Pilot (actually a Sony Clié UX50, which I remember because it was awesome).

She got pulled aside by security every single time for extra pat-downs and such. It got so frequent that they knew her by name, but they still went through the routine every single time.

She's very glad not to have that job anymore, but for other reasons.
Why? That's the kind of question that makes up the entire field of game theory.

In every situation, the most natural strategy is to maximize personal gains. That's how natural selection works. But when people don't act like that, it means there must be some opposing force, normally one that benefits society. There is a lot to learn here, in fields as diverse as biology, economics, computing, and of course, games.
I really wouldn't want to work for someone who's so full of themselves that they can't even do their own laundry. Worse yet, someone who'd make their employees do their laundry for them.

I personally find Naval and his platitudes to be overly simplistic, and his "get rich quick" advice is mostly impractical (and often bad) for normal people.
Really, the maths only relies on the cost of new drug development and the number of (potential) users per year. Everything else is minor. For instance, if the cost of producing and supplying the drug were different, that would add only 10 percent to the final profit, that is easily offset by factoring in inflation.

And that's the point here: developing drugs is expensive and risky. So you need a big potential profit to do it. That means big revenue. Big revenue and small numbers of users means high prices.
You get Chrome's large ecosystem of browser extensions, with much less Google tracking. That's how I see it at least.
Haha yeah exactly. I think this dynamic exists in a lot of places.

I feel like there should be a phrase that communicates something like "I know you're acting in good faith, but I'm just trying to be cautious." Because it's easy to misinterpret that reticence to talk as some sort of hostility or distrust (though the best cops won't interpret it that way).

I have a similar experience when someone is trying to sell me something, I don't bear them any ill will for doing their job, but also it's a waste of both our time for them to continue with the sales pitch. But it's hard to communicate that without implying that I think they're doing something untrustworthy.

And from what I've read, there are a lot of cons that rely on people not wanting to be rude and not questioning something they don't think is right.

> There is zero chance software would end up impenetrable under those conditions.

Not when it is so impenetrably complex that there are always hidden errors. The only secure software is simple enough that a single human mind can comprehend it and verify correctness, and as an entire industry we have moved away from that entirely.

Man, I was living in the UK. A kid on a skateboard dropped his phone, didn't notice. Less than a minute later, a guy (gardener or construction worker by the looks of it) picks it off the ground and gets in his van. Bye bye phone.

Another time, found a wallet and returned it, the woman said it's unbelievable, no one else would do that. Gave me 10 pounds, too, heh (there was way more in the wallet, plus cards and ID, it's how I found her). I'd be very happy if someone did that for me.

But yeah, usually "finders keepers" holds true :/

I like these kind of stories from Japan, makes it seem like people do respect each other. Shame not everything is that good over there.
Oh for sure. I wish I would have thought of that sarcastic quip by being creative, but in reality it's because I've seen it so many times.

Firebase and AppEngine Datastore have both been superceded by Firestore, which is has the realtime features of Firebase, but the scalability and performance (better, I think) of Datastore, and more data modeling and query flexibility.
Actually low squatting accidentally helped me with some back problems I had in the past. Accidentally in this case is because I was just trying different body positions that I don't normally use. My general rule of thumb is to gain back lost mobility for a better health.
I don't put a lot of stock in the second test. Assuming the same people were involved, it's likely they were (consciously or not) being a lot more gentle with the devices.
Still compiles Down to js where you lose all type checking.

Have you ever looked at a compiled js file? Things like spreading objects I to each other

{...a,...b}

End up being a nest object assign which is actually slower than spreading.
Do you have a better business model that has been proven to work for monetizing the kind of content CH made?

People won't pay for a subscription for that, people won't donate enough to keep the business afloat, and people don't actually want to use attention tokens/microtransactions.

A lot of people claimed that these alternatives work, but I've yet to see a business prove that they actually work.

I worked in NYC coffee shops on a daily basis for 2 years (and Toronto and SF for more years). Whenever I went to the bathroom, I just asked a random person nearby if they would make sure no one walked off with my stuff. I never had anything stolen, and the people I ask don't seem bothered in the slightest. It's a very small burden, and I think there's something pleasant about having someone put their trust in you.
It might be useful to talk about proximate and ultimate causes in that case[1]. Yes, the poacher pulls the trigger, but if the horn wasn't worth anything it, that wouldn't have happened.

Apple was like Tesla in 2009.

Now the only way that Apple is like Tesla is if Tesla was also a utilities company that managed powerplants, which had a different pricing scheme for it's car customers.
I feel like this is promoting wantrepeneur lifestyle and taking low paid long hour start up jobs to get on the ladder.

Whilst innovation is important, and earning your stripes too, I get sick of this unspoken attitude that anyone who doesn't work for a "cool" startup must be unambitious and lack talent.

Big tech are dominating most of the interesting problems. Startups likely can not compete with google - if they choose to let you exist it is because they have decided the problem isn't profitable enough.
I feel like I regularly see similar comments, touting the superiority of Chrome devtools. I haven’t used Chrome in a few years; what do they have that others don’t?
I wish they had thrown in with helping Firefox instead of handing even more web influence over to Google. A percentage of what Microsoft spent on EdgeHTML contributed to the Firefox project—ideally as employee time—would go a long way, along with the counterbalance of putting the Firefox engine and code base front and center of more Windows users.
I enjoy playing games, but have long felt conflicted because of the studio practices so many AAA shops have (i.e. long hours and lack of job security). I have quite a bit of respect for studios like Klie (https://www.polygon.com/features/2013/5/29/4362838/the-birth...) because of this. I wish more studios would spearhead cultural change like this, instead of waiting until they are forced by employees.
Some friendly advice: you called his charts utterly meaningless but didn't give a single specific issue you had with understanding them. While it would've helped to have unit labels on the Y axis, I was able to understand all of them.

Also, "wall of text" generally refers to a long piece of text lacking formatting, punctuation, and separation into paragraphs and sections. This article, while long, does not have those problems.
Please explain, i think the idea make sense. The menial job id done to show that no job is beneath you and to open up greater opportunity.
The author's example is a trivial corner case that can be easily avoided.

It is nowhere close to important enough to fuel the question of 'Is TypeScript Worth It?'
> Question for you then: Are you or are you not trying to manipulate me to share your point of view?

You go on after this question to explain what manipulation is, so it seems like you understand the concept, and can probably figure out how it doesn't apply to this conversation.

> There's an idea out there that advertising is about selling you things regardless of whether you'd benefit from it or not. In my books, this is a stupid way to spend your advertising dollars. Instead, you should do the hard work of figuring out who, if anyone, would benefit from the product, and then create a campaign to reach them.

If your actual goal is to help people find things they would benefit from, then what's the best way to do that? Some ideas:

1. Review sites that try to be unbiased and share expert opinions on possible solutions to your problem. Obviously there are pitfalls here: the best solutions are ones where the site receives money from consumers, not companies with products to sell.

2. Word of mouth recommendations from friends and family, who intimately know your actual needs and genuinely want you to be successful.

3. People often know their own needs and go out to find solutions to their own needs, soliciting advice from 1 and 2, but also by asking experts (doctors, mechanics, etc.) who they pay to give them good advice.

4. A minimalist movement that views the entire idea of purchasing something with skepticism. I'm not against paying for products, but I do think it's important to see that paying for products is a tradeoff. Paying for a solution isn't always the best way to solve a problem, and in fact isn't always better than the problem itself.

Literally no part of a reasonable solution for helping people involves showing them only your product (not your competitors'), and/or only the positive aspects of your product. And that's the absolute best case for advertising.

And to be clear, that's not honest, it's lying by omission. If you're any good at your job, you know who your competitors are, and you know their strengths, but you're not sharing that information with your target audience. That's information that's relevant to the wants/needs of your target audience, but you're withholding that information, because it benefits you/your clients. The idea that this is you trying to go out and help people find and choose the best products for their needs is very naive.

Contrary to your belief, advertising actively prevents people from finding products that best solve their problems. Worse products beat out better products if they have better advertising, and this is the norm, not the exception, because every dollar spent on advertising is a dollar not spent on producing the best product possible. In theory, a company that makes profit from advertising can reinvest that profit into R+D, but in practice the incentives don't lead in that direction. A company that makes a profit by advertising has no reason to take a risk by changing strategy.

How could this be done for JavaScript without any mechanism for signifying the type of object that is expected?
I think this depends on where you are measuring costs in your codebase. If you're strictly looking at time to market on your first iteration, then you're right, types are going to require more of your team's time up front. If you look at the total lifespan of a "real project", then type safety is likely going to represent a cost savings regarding time your team spends on bug fixes, refactoring, and maintaining legacy portions of your app.

For context, I base the above sentiment on our team's last two years of effort in migrating key parts of our app to TypeScript (25 devs, ~500k lines of code). We've found that it has substantially reduced the number of defects that make it into production, and it has also reduced the number of round trips through QA. Clearly, this is only one data point, but hopefully it offers some perspective on why TS can be valuable in a codebase.
>You would really trust any third party to intercept your sms messages?

Not OP but I trust Thunderbird on my PC to access my emails so why I could not also trust a Mozilla or other trustworthy company to access my messages on my phone where in my case the SMS is used by companies to send me notifications about billing , I am the type of person that will call someone(people in my group don't send SMS)
The logo seems confusingly similar to Firefox's.
Why save pages as mhtml by default (Android)?
It wasn't worth deconstructing their "logic". Rather, my implicit message was 'if you find yourself disagreeing with someone likely better than you at X, step back and assess the epistemic foundations of _your_ belief.'
they mention a time tax of 262 seconds median for TS annotations for their set of 400 bugs. almost 4.5 minutes. so idk, there seems to be some math missing in this paper about the actual trade offs. so maybe you get a 15% improvement in "detectable" bugs found, at a 13.3% time cost (60 minutes /4.5 minutes) per hour of work. worth it...? are your devs expensive? more expensive than QA.
I mostly agree, but note that Japan has 126M people, so it's quite large.
If you're basically rich and you choose to do things associated with being poor it's not really that negative because you aren't poor.

Like I mend clothes and something I do the visible mending stitch patterns. I'm sure people judge us and think we're poor, but I don't really care because I'm not. Alternatively, doing high effort things like mending clothes can seem kind of cute and novel if you aren't poor.
As stated, support for that one is not guaranteed, you need to first figure, out if your motherboard configuration supports lane bifucartion, otherwise it won't work, or only one of the installed keys.

Cards with PLX switches are are way to fix this if you cant upgrade your whole hardware, but the price point is a multiple of simple bifurcation cards, since you have to integrate a whole PCI switch on-card.
