Why are you “rewriting” instead of refactoring? Even if the existing code is “garbage”, if you need to add new functionality, you can usually use the “strangler pattern”. Put a nice facade over the old code to provide an interface and write on top of it.

If I can do it by putting a COM wrapper on top of 20 year old PowerBuilder code and then interact with it with C#, I can’t imagine a case where this can’t be done.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ansible's only dependency Python, which is already installed on 99% of linux distros? It may drag some extra python packages but those can be contained in a virtualenv to avoid bloating the OS installation.

There is room for DIY scripts but it's mostly in development and perhaps early testing. In production the most important thing would be ease of maintenance. DIY scripts just create technical debt down the line, unless your whole setup is so simple that you can completely replace Ansible or similar with a DIY script.

Good. It means you will stop hoarding bookmarks that you don't need.

An inherent problem with digital content is that it's pretty easy and cheap to produce (with corresponding quality), and almost free to copy―but still expensive in effort to consume and take meaningful action. You need to move the balance if you want to avoid piling up digital garbage that you won't ever conscientiously touch.

If you don't have time now to not even read the articles, but to just add tags, you won't have it later either unless you take a sabbatical or retirement to go through that mess. Filing the pages in an organized system needs a quite good amount of work in exchange for a chance that you at least can find them in the future if the need arises. As a minimum, it requires that you have some understanding of what the page is about.
What you're thinking of is delayed gratification. An eagle doesn't have to force itself to go hunt, because physiological processes tell it that it needs to hunt. It's the same reason you don't have to psych yourself up to go have lunch - your body desires lunch.

Humans have evolved to sometimes delay their gratification. That is, we don't hunt and eat our catch immediately, but instead we hunt and preserve the food to eat next time. This has been an immensely successful strategy, because it allows us to do things like plant crops and use that as food later. Modern society is essentially built upon delayed gratification. You go work, but get paid later.

The problem is that this delayed gratification is constantly under attack by things that you could do right now that would make you feel good. Delayed gratification tends to lead to better outcomes in the long term, but our base instincts are still about getting pleasure right now. This is why people with ADHD have no problem playing a video game for hours upon hours, but have difficulty doing their job - in the video game they get the rewards immediately, but at work the rewards are significantly delayed.
Hi All

Making Tax Digital is the UK governments push to get eveery business to deal with their tax affairs digitally.
Initially, this means VAT registered businesses who can no longer file their VAT manually, nor can they rely on HMRC website.

Ideally, they show have software that they maintain accounts on, which files directly to HMRC.

If you have an accountant who does everything, that should be ok for now.

I agree. I recently worked on a price where 1 java class had 14 methods named construct<subtype>fields which all built a html+js+css mess using a string builder. I was asked to add support for 3 more subtypes. And this was the god class for the UI. We rewrote the whole UI in 3 months. There was no way that could be refactored.
I think the verboseness is a huge turn-off for beginners --- it's like a mix of C# and bash. The general prevalence of uppercase characters (I believe it's case-insensitive like a lot of Windows things, so I don't really understand why they had to capitalise words which are already hyphen-separated) also adds to the overall "clumsy" look.

In contrast, bash scripting is basically entirely lowercase with very minor exceptions.

Sure, but the enable_if<is_scalar<> > already takes care of it, I'm not suggesting taking the check away (although it might be possible to relax it to checking whether a type is trivially constructible and copyable). Now that I think of it you probably need to check that both the iterator value type and the value itself are trivially copyable, constructible and that the value is trivially convertible to the iterator value type itself. No wonder that the std library maintainers went for the easier way.

Is there an art to submitting talks to speak at tech conferences? What are the boxes you need to tick when submitting a talk for a specific conference? In this article, we will try to cover most of the aspects you need to consider at the time of submitting a proposal for a tech conference.
Many thanks for your feedbacks!

What stays in my mind :

1. Try to not use bookmarks for long terms. Keep useful information in a personal wiki, website, ... It's probably the best way to remember information and to be able to refind them when needed.

2. If you still need to use bookmarks, there are lots of custom tools. I checked all of your submission and there is some very nice stuff. It all depends on your use on how you use bookmarks :)

I like how Toby allows organizing bookmarks per session. I'm gonna give a try to this tool, but with a limited number of bookmark.
Turns out building in a flood plain leads to flooding too. Maybe no zoning laws has drawbacks.

I stayed with a friend in Houston for a week. As a New Yorker, I took the bus a few places. I also found a farmers market within walking distance to his home and organized a few people to shop there. They were pleasantly surprised at this wonderful, affordable source of delicious, healthy produce.

But these social activities were swimming hard upstream. Telling people I took the bus to meet them prompted reactions like I came from another planet. Not many people looked like they ate a lot of vegetables. They liked it far more when I told them I went to a firing range and shot a gun for the first time.
This comment is mostly copied and pasted from another of your comments.
This is not possible, since the law exempts anything up to $200 from your gross income calculation, from which your taxable income is derived. Taxable income is periodically calculated according to your taxable year. So if you exceed those $200 within your taxable year, it is taxed. Does not matter how many transaction it takes.
from the article:
"The value of global trade in pirated and counterfeit goods is half a trillion dollars per year, according to an estimate cited in the Trump memo. "

That and burning your house down with fake or bad wiring from faulty electronics. Or a bestselling novel with the last 100 pages missing. Or a flash drive with only 1% of its labelled capacity.
The problem as I see it with Houston is that there are few inhibitors to the sprawl, and few options to navigate it. Land to the west of town(where a significant part of the growth is happening) is plentiful and relatively cheap. I sometimes joke that Houston and San Antonio will merge at some point.(they are technically ~180 miles apart)

There are now 3 rings around the city: 610, 8 and 99. The best way to get in and out of the city is by car, there just isnt a comprehensive public transport system to be found. There is talks of rail every few years, but they usually end up being shot down because

a) nobody wants to give up their land to build it(imminent domain fighting)

b) the city is so damn big it would be cost prohibitive to build a rail system.

The only way I manage to deal with it is to work 6am to 3pm so that my commute is in front of rush hour. I'm admittedly part of the problem, as I live 30 miles southwest of the city. If I were to commute at the 8-5pm time, I would be on the road for 110 minutes each commute. As long as I get on the road by 5:30am, I cut that to 45 minutes in the morning and 55 in the afternoon.
The religion as in believe in supernatural is not the issue that much. Who they cooperate with and support is the issue I have - and of course support is related to who have similar/compatible ideologies in some sense.
Human beings are very bad at diagnosing failures in complex systems when under intense pressure. Perception and cognition can be significantly affected and even normally highly competent and trained individuals can make poor decisions at times of high stress.

I’m not qualified to judge how much of this was down to pilot error, but the risk is ascribing it purely to this and moving on takes away emphasis from redesigning the system to give the flawed human beings piloting the plane the best chance of making the right decision next time.

When you get lower quality than you paid for, yes. Many would debate the IP end of it, but in terms of deception of the end buyer, I would say it is unequivocally deceptive and bad. Especially if you trust your life to the quality of an item, and it fails.

> Surely the ADA requirement isn’t for a near perfect transcript.

The law requires "reasonable accommodations" to provide a equivalent experience. Expecting perfection would not be reasonable. Also with heavy accents, the hearing audience probably doesn't understand every word so if some words in the transcript were wrong, the hearing impaired have the same experience.

There's nothing special about video, the law can also require podcasts and other audio-only content to provide transcripts. But the law doesn't apply to everything and everybody, it applies to "places of public accommodation," and many podcasts are personal projects, to which it doesn't apply. The legal precedent for what is a place of public accommodation is evolving, even including anything online is not universally held, I don't know what counts; having an ad spot in a podcast is probably not sufficient to suddenly make it a business to which the law applies. It almost certainly applies to an operation like Gimlet.

I do think the formal nuance is outdated and should be deleted. We know from Korean pilots that after switching to English as default in the cockpit a significant decrease in crash rates was accomplished. This was 100% ascribed to the lack of formal nuance in English. I have a hunch a lot of European languages are handicapped by similar conditions.

It's interesting that the piece that immediately came to mind for me is not mentioned here: his "Moonlight Sonata" [1]. I think this was also an immense risk at the time.

The risk payed off grandly. Moonlight Sonata could easily be a soundtrack for a 2020 movie (if everyone hadn't already known it).

It says on Wikipedia that the piece was popular already at the time, so maybe it was not such a big risk, but I have to say it sounds like (or maybe it inspired) contemporary piano music.

I wonder how much of this is because of physiological aspects that have to change to keep up with your other lifestyle changes. Brain exercise takes energy, and you might just not used to eating and sleeping enough to maintain that level of exercise.
Sorry, forgot to add the ever useful vermaden FreeBSD Desktop Series blog, to answer the previous question

I stopped bookmarking 99% of stuff the better part of a decade ago. I have these folders:

- Church: (links I frequently use related to my religion, such as the tithing payment portal and shared Google docs)

- STB: (stuff to buy) stuff I want to buy eventually but aren't immediate priority and stuff I think I want to buy.

- STB House: (inside the STB folder) stuff I want to purchase for a house when I purchase a house. Fiance and I plan to start looking as soon as she has an employment contract here (teacher).

Then I keep a few things on the bookmark toolbar not in a folder: uvere login portal, the YouTube subscriptions page, my HRA portal, Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, my training log (strength athlete).

That's it. I simply don't bookmark anything else anymore. If I want to reference something later, and think it will be in the near future, I leave it open in a tab.

If I want to save something for possible future reference I clip the page/article to Evernote and tag it how my brain works. Frequently this is Wiki entries (that get archived as the wikiwand version) and lengthy articles/blog posts. This actually makes the content useful as I can search an idea/topic in the future and find relevant stuff.

When I find a non-fiction kindle title useful, I open it in Calibre and print it to PDF, I then add the PDF to Evernote as well and tag it accordingly.

Is it bad when you carefully try to make sure you are ordering a good quality product and instead get something shit quality? I think it’s wasteful and bad for the environment. It’s also a waste of time spent trying to choose the right thing and a waste of time and thought spent returning it (if one even bothers).

It is also bad for the company whose product is being counterfeited because their brand is associated with the poor quality knock off.

This is also the reason I hate print on demand and think the seller should have to specify how a book was printed.

Maybe you think counterfeits are equal in quality to the genuine articles. In that case I think the argument is different. But I don’t believe that is the case.

"Amazon.com Inc is planning to give more data on counterfeit goods to law enforcement in a further crackdown on fakes listed on its e-commerce sites, a person familiar with the program told Reuters."

I respect the people in law enforcement, but when is the last time they actually efficiently prevented a crime? The FBI should be the ones in charge of such things - they have the budget and the authority to handle matters which are going to undoubtedly cross state lines. To me this is Amazon shrugging their shoulders and stating "At least we tried."
Its a fact that the Android version is currently un available. The arrival of MTD mandated a massive redesign, and having gained zero traction on the Android platform, I decided to focus on Apple IOS where traction for my other APPS is 10 X the equivalent on Android.

This is a BETA, once the bugs are ironed out, and the GUI is finalised, and there is a full release on APpp store, work will resume on the Android version which will be a direct port of the IOS version
I shared your unhappiness re: not knowing if I was unwittingly buying a counterfeit. However, rather than close my account, I do my research on Amazon as far as I can take it, then go to the website of the manufacturer (Garmin, Das Keyboard, Bluelounge, etc.) and buy direct from them. No counterfeits EVER.

It's primarily because in the military you get used to the ideas that you are in big trouble if you are not on time and also that you cannot fail (failure may mean death). That plus the quiet confidence you gain in yourself and others helps add some of that extra sauce.

This might be okay for a free of charge toy, but not for anything that matters at all.
It seems like permanently freezing counterfeiters out of the marketplace would be the obvious thing to do, and if Amazon lacks the technical capacity to do so or to prevent their return I’d say that’s a pretty fundamental problem.

I'm talking about something much deeper, more fundamental, than delayed gratification. For example:

> Delayed gratification tends to lead to better outcomes in the long term

These outcomes are mostly considered better because they are made in the context of the system we live in. Often they are only better in the sense that they solve a problem which the system caused in the first place. E.g. if you can delay the gratification of eating food now, you'll be fitter later. But is this actually a problem (being overweight) that existed for human beings prior to the current system?

What I'm saying is - perhaps we should question whether being successful within our societal system is actually the same as being successful as human beings. There are plenty of people considered "successful" which are miserable and unhappy on a day-to-day basis.
> BTW, the logarithmic time factor to update a leaf is why you will often see logarithmic factors in time complexities of various operations on immutable data structures.

A mutable tree requires the same logarithmic time factor to update a leaf, because it also requires logarithmic time to access the leaf. It seems like the real difference between the mutable and the immutable structure is that the mutable structure requires O(1) space to do the update, while the immutable one requires O(log n) space in addition to the common requirement of O(log n) time.

One of the reasons I got so much enjoyment from this book is that Swafford himself was a composer and described the works in great detail accordingly. The numerous anecdotes about Beethoven's life were fascinating of course too.

Does anyone know of similar biographies of other famous composers? Ones that tell stories of the composer's lives as well as give detailed analyses of their works?
