It's not an anti-pattern. There are no other better alternatives for generic paging purposes where a lot of pages are involved.

The only change necessary in the example is to drop the 2 3 and 88 89, they're entirely unnecessary and add bloat.

< Prev | 1 | 11 13 14 | 90 | Next >

Drop the Prev on the first page. Drop the Next on the last page. Highlight the page you're on in the middle (eg 13) and keep that page in the middle as you cycle. If you're on page one, it goes to the strict left and gets highlighted.

You can optionally use "first" and "last" in it, although that takes up more overall space and detracts from the Prev / Next visually. You can also put a small jump input box with it if there's an unusual, rare reason to need it.

That's it. It's a paging work of beauty superior to all other generic alternatives. The only way you beat that approach is under circumstances of niche demands. For example where a simple "< Prev | Next >" will do (because you have absolutely no need to ever jump) or you have a small fixed number of pages "1 2 3 4 5" and so on.
Seems there is a ever-growing list of Linux bootloaders. Which ones are not satisfactory and why.

I was very satisfied with the BSD bootloaders. Plus the kernels comply with the multiboot specification so it was possible to use other bootloaders. This way I could boot kernels from different BSD projects from the same USB stick using a single bootloader. I do not use GRUB.
They are great folks, hope you enjoy their products!

Nah. That's boomer-tier dumbass thinking.
I’m not into the idea? Interviews are to gauge an individuals abilities. Why would you want to practice for an individual task where you will he expected to solve individually with a group? I think this is like studying in a group for a test. There is a huge risk you think you learn something but you don’t.

Studying for assignments in a group makes sense or comparing notes etc. but studying for an exam in a group or an interview doesn’t.
Yes. Reticulate is great for R to Python.

In case you need data handoffs between various processes, you might want to use an intermediate transition via a database, flat file, etc. It helped me get over few problems of passing data around.

Take home projects can be terrible if they're too early in the hiring pipeline and also exclude anyone currently working full time.

Whiteboard questions are mostly terrible because of nerves and poor input methods, at least do it on a laptop connected to a projector, then it's acceptable for some people.

The one thing you can't do is have a single process for everyone and pretend there's scientific rigor behind your decisions.
Watch Office Space, and learn the lessons from there. It's just a job. You might actually be better at it if you don't give as much of a fuck - caring too much tends to lead you to taking on too much work, and that can only end in disappointment and burnout for everyone involved.

It's important to have some sort of a life outside of work, and to _prioritize it_.
So literally all of these complaints are about their particular implementations of notebooks, not the concept of computational notebooks in general, or are all computational notebooks destined to have unstable kernels?

In my mind, notebooks should be married to a functional style of programming, where you use the notebook's markup to thoroughly explain and document your functions. Below your "function definition" section, you keep a "trying things out" section where you actually plug the data into your functions for debugging/visualizations. You can't shoot yourself in the foot with variables because all the work is done in your function's lexical scope. You can shoot yourself in the foot with stale function definitions, but a good notebook interface gives you the ability to clear function definitions and run groups of cells, so you can make sure you always run your functions in a group that starts with a "clear function definitions" cell.

When you are done, you just cut the "trying things out" section into a second notebook which references the functions in the first and viola, you've got a very well documented library of functions, and a new work notebook where you can freely polish your visualizations/whatever.
It's hard to put into words how angry I am about this. These sorts of things don't happen by accident. I don't understand how someone gets asked to build this "feature" and they don't just quit on the spot...

Yet annotating a necessarily positive correlation with female participation and poor scientific development over the last five decades is considered misogynist. The intuition that is controversial is in the consideration of sexual dimorphism and novel sexual selective pressures that now influence research, ie glamour and agreeableness (“trendiness”) versus truth which is always in antagonism with the status quo. It is risible to think a woman could be as audacious as a Galileo or Heaviside (please do not deceive yourselves or feign ignorance on the effects of testosterone in the biological kingdom), and I think the poor scientific marksmanship astutely reflects this, albeit insufficiently (as academic dogmatism has other metabolic components besides sexuality which make it pale to its aristocratic genealogy.)
One more time, what mobile phone owners need is an intermediary layer in the mobile OS where they can either manually or programmatically (via e.g. a random number generator) lie to higher-level application layers about the phone's data. It's not enough to just turn off permission to access this data (because then the apps will often just refuse to work); it's essential to be able to lie to these apps in a way that they cannot tell the data is fake. This is a perfect opportunity to build weaponized AI that acts on behalf of users against adtech.
> AFAIK there aren't really any good solutions to prevent this problem- For complex game-theoretic reasons, simply changing the mining algorithm to something different doesn't really offer much protection. (Some folks believe if these smaller currencies were to move to "proof of stake" it could help solve this problem, but this is an extremely contentious topic.)

Decred's mixed PoW/PoS would be extremely expensive to 51% attack, and would require a large amount of funds to be locked up in voting tickets for random amounts of time ranging from a few days to several months - so if you successfully attacked it, you'd presumably reduce the value of Decred and the many millions of dollars worth of Decred you had frozen in tickets.

Dear lostgame,

First of, I’m so, so sorry to hear. What you’ve gone through (sexual assault, twice) is something nobody should have to go through; and the loss of your mother and your breakup as well (I’ve experienced the death of a parent and a significant breakup, too).

Your courage in sharing what’s happened to you touches me. Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist, famously said that “if you can feel it, you can heal it.” And I think part of what you might be doing, by publicly sharing where you’re at, could perhaps be to give yourself permission to feel things more deeply, and letting yourself be witnessed doing so.

In case you’d like to consider joining our startup — we’d be honoured in considering you for a position. We’re a different kind of startup: work/life balance and authenticity is key. We’re basically starting a life-long family of people who resonate with each other :) Our product is still in development, but we’ve got an exciting brand: We are Ecstatic (accessible at ecstatic.com).

Oh! And we’re based in Vancouver, beautiful British Columbia.

Reason I’m mentioning this is because we don’t think of what we’re doing as work, but as play (in all seriousness). We call it “plorking”. Perhaps you need to find a company (such as ours) that let’s you be you throughout — no stress, just creative play.

Be well, and best wishes on your path. Whatever happens, I wish you so much happiness and peace. You deserve it. We each do.

Those applies for only shitty B&Ms.

In Asia there are a lot of serious vendor. Sometimes B&M prices and stock availability here is very competitive with online offering.

B&M is still good for me when I can't wait for shipping or risk postal damage. It's also convenient to have a face I can look at whenever I would like to dispute something FAST. Especially disk storage products.
Sure there are plenty of other professions. Pilots being the first one I can think of, as they require some type of checkride (flight exam) which will include an oral examination by the instructor/interviewer. And they don't get paid for taking that checkride.

Sounds like hardware problems in the storage stack. Btrfs developers contributed the dm-log-writes target to the kernel, expressly for conducting power loss tests on file systems. All the file systems benefit from this work.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/device-mapper/log-w...
And Btrfs is doing the right thing these days.

I recently conducted system resource starvation tests where a compile process spun off enough threads to soak the system to the point it becomes unresponsive. I did over 100 forced power off tests while the Btrfs file system was being written to as part of that compile. Zero complaints: not on mount, not on scrubs, not with btrfs check, and not any while in normal operation following those power offs.

If you want to complain about Btrfs, complain about the man page warning to not use --repair without advice from a developer. You did know about that warning, right?
At least there’s no counterfeit products.
I have thought about this as well. I would love someone more knowledgable to chime in - but if I had to guess it is that consumer hard drive sales have been declining a lot in recent years. Desktops are a thing of the past for your average PC user, and as a result hardware/storage upgrades. Laptops, mobile devices, and cloud storage is where it's at. No one is buying hard drives anymore except large enterprises. In order to appeal to the consumer market HDD manufacturers need a value prop to compete with cloud storage. So discounting bulk storage is the play. I am guessing that they are selling "white label" enclosed drives at a lower margin than the enterprise counterparts but still netting more in the long run.

Both were probably designed the same way - company name is "word five" so take the first letter and fit it into a 5 sided polygon and bam you've made each logo.

SiFive's actually fits this design more even though it came out later. They don't need the added shape at the bottom and the embedded character can be seen as either "s" or "5" while the carbon 5 one needed the extra bit at the bottom and is a bit harder to see the "5".
I’m not arguing the rationality, only the possible outcome.

> On other occasions, when the waiter asked for his order, Bill would point to another person at the table, and say, "I'll have what she's having." "Well, what is she having?" "I don't know, I haven't heard her say." Once in a while, he would point to someone else in the restaurant and say, "I'll have what they are having." It was funny and sometimes disconcerting, which was very Bill, and it was also his way of making sure he himself was eating (and thinking and doing) as broadly as possible, without getting stale.

What an endearing fellow. I wish I was more like him.

Verizon charges about $80 for gigabit fiber. But to put that into context, most of the states in Verizon’s footprint, like Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, are richer than Switzerland: https://images.app.goo.gl/PeQYfKDsLkHoJ3787. It looks like prices for gigabit in Switzerland range from $65-140 USD per month (with the $65 figure being over Zurich’s municipal fiber system.)

At least here in Maryland, its not cost that limits the uptake here, it’s usefulness. Cable broadband here is very fast. Comcast charges more for 1000/35 cable than Verizon charges for 1000/1000 fiber, even in neighborhoods that have access to both (which is most of the state outside Baltimore and very rural areas). People just don’t value the extra upload speeds that highly compared to Comcast’s better TV packages.
Yeah. But courts are relatively slow. It will likely take half a decade before they get to face real consequences?
I have a question about the artist depiction on the article. Why is the gas shooting outward? Shouldn't it stay on the same path as the planet due to gravity? Like a comet.
When I read that SiFive is working on custom silicon, my first thought was to wonder what would happen if custom hardware and custom programming languages co-evolved together, instead of languages adapting to old hardware that's adapted to older programming languages.

.. and here he is talking about compilers. I might have to keep an eye on SiFive in addition to Oxide.

There are some other people talking about him not staying long at places. In this talk he mentions how he intended to stay at UIUC for one year and got 'nerd-sniped' into staying for 5 years building LLVM. After an experience like that, I could see how someone might feel claustrophobic and tend to take any opportunity on offer - if it's interesting enough.

You need to approach or exceed a roads per-axel weight limit to do any damage or serious wear.

Trucks and permit loads are pretty much the only things that get close.

Beyond the elastic limit, damage is an exponential function of the pavement loading, but only once that certain minimum psf is hit.

For the majority of a highway's loading curve, the damage-per-force is essentially nil. Plastic deformation and serious fatigue only start as you approach the design limits.

It's 99%+ because cars don't do any real wear or damage to pavement from typical use.
You are trying to rationalize this. Don't. Companies work under their own rules and are not rational actors.

I had a boss that would simply send people home.

For some folks that was what they needed. It was the Midwest and some folks just want to work and would come in by default if they were able to walk.

After a while people started to understand that he really meant "stay home if you are sick", not just if they're borderline on their deathbed.

Lots of places are less tolerant of people staying home so they sometimes need to see what level of "too sick" is "sick" before they stay home on their own.

This, like a lot of things, requires a good relationship to avoid hurt feelings.
Based on my memory, they were somewhat less true in 1990, if you look at how much it happens and not just whether or not it happens.

Focusing on kids, because that's where I've got the clearest reference for making my own comparisons: 30 years ago, kids in my neighborhood spent most their time running around outdoors. I'm not even sure everyone's parents knew where they were half the time, and it was fine as long as you made it home for dinner. Nowadays, kids seem to spend most their time playing Minecraft or Fortnite or whatever. I don't see them often on the sidewalk unless they're headed to or from school, and the playgrounds are generally pretty quiet. Over the same time period, hours of TV watched per household is up by about 2 hours per day, and consumption of the Internet has gone from zero to whatever it is right now, so that's where I'm guessing all the kids have gone.
Not sure but probably not. If accessibility and integration with the OS are important it's probably better to go with Cocoa and .NET/UWP instead of a crossplatform solution.

I imagine QT solves this as well but at $5000+ per developer per year it might make more sense to have 2 codebases with native UIs and shared code. I looked into that option recently and using Nim to transpile to C/C++ for the shared business logic/network/etc seemed like the best option.
For most PLC customers this is a no-go. They aren't in the market to save money on hardware. They save money by reducing downtime and eliminating failures.

That's kindof like asking for an example of operations that relate length and speed by accident.

The whole point is that it is an accident. Its exactly the kind of accident that embedding units into your type system is supposed to prevent. I just find that the kind of trivial examples that folks support this way are just that - trivial examples. They don't scale to the kinds of problems that I am faced with solving.
