Your first paragraph, I experience that frequently only mine is entirely verbal in nature.

I also have an extremely weak minds eye. I don't get visual thinking at all. If I have a blank page in front of me I simply cannot imagine a user interface. I would have to physically or digitally start drawing something in order to even be able to visualize further changes to the UI. I also have an extremely weak grasp on local geography. I suspect places form a network in most people's heads. For me they are mostly isolated locations which don't connect to anywhere else. I have an ok sense of direction. I can certainly go back the way I've come. But in regular conversations about locations in my city I have been stumped 1000x when certain place names are mentioned. I always ask where those places are. Everyone around me can tell me how to get there by what is close by or what describe the route. I usually don't know where the things the mention are either. Someone else usually chimes in to help me understand where something is by giving another example. Unless I pull up Google maps I almost always still end up not knowing where they are talking about even though I know the name of the place and roughly what type of place it is. I'm talking about the major suburbs anyone would know in their city. I worked out my ability in this area was sorely lacking when even my little brother who was 5 years younger than me would always be the 3rd person to attempt to explain where something was after my two older sisters had had a go.

But when it comes to peoples voices I can recall their accent, language patterns and mannerisms perfectly. So I wind up doing a lot of impersonations of people.
Without any insensitivity towards ADHD, another thing that I think contributes to a heightened sense of internal monologue and constant self-excruciation is the expectations and stresses of society.

I have found that in Southern Africa, if you take the time to understand many of the fusion and native cultures, you can learn a lot about stressing less. In my personal case, I do have an internal monologue, but it gets worse with stress.

My one Mozambican friend for example (notwithstanding his amusing "selfishness" with money) has made me realise that not all people handle progress (esp. technological) with underlying anxiety. Sometimes you really are allowed to suck in and enjoy life, appreciate the progress that has been made, and look to our challenges with grace.
Sooo... You're asserting initialism vs acronym and I'm asserting comedy?

Sorry if I took you away from fact checking open mic night. :-D
>Environmentally friendly planning means you have housing near where people work to avoid highly polluting long commutes.

Vehicle miles driven doesn't make as big of a difference as one might expect. A paper[0] I saw linked on reddit had an interesting graph: https://imgur.com/a/n7u8fGH

In this paper, what carbon emissions you lose by not driving you gain from building emissions. Maybe because the study area was New York, with more fuel oil-heated buildings? Presumably, decarbonized heating and electricity generation would make a difference, but New York state already is pretty good by that metric: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/newyork/ (Though nowhere near carbon neutral, or carbon negative, as would be required for keeping global warming to 2C)

As anyone who has used C will recall, a char is just a small integer. And just the same in Haskell, a char is exactly one character. Once you understand that, this confusion makes about as much sense as expecting an integer to be "empty".

I suspect this kind of question would be better asked on the Haskell IRC channel or similar rather than trawling stack overflow for insights. If someone has the relevant missing insight they can quickly point it out and save a lot of confusion.
My understanding (via my wife's family, who have been in Menlo Park for ~50 years) is that Atherton doesn't allow lots smaller than 1 acre.

I live at the yellow star at the top of the map. Needless to say, my lot is vastly smaller than an acre :)
> when you std::move a string, the data() buffer would remain unchanged

You cannot assume anything about the state of a moved-from object. AFAIK, the only valid operations are destruction and assigning something else to it.
I don't dream in words. If tell someone about a conversation I had in my dreams, I have to "translate" my dream into English.
It’s worth reading the source material “Roadside Picnic” if you haven’t yet. It’s very different from the film in a way that I think lets you appreciate what Tarkovsky did with it even more.

Roadside Picnic is also the incredibly rare example of the book, the movie (Stalker), and the video game (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) each being able to stand on their own merits. This is probably in part because they are so different thematically.
Can you find me what the 8 people arrested for actually wrote?

5 have been arrested in Malaysia and 2 in Thailand also, have read the viral fake news they wrote and have no problems with their arrest at all.

In the shadier parts of the internet I'm already seeing services for ruining your competitors with viral social media fear campaigns.

r/Australia has a big sticky of all the nonsense being peddled in the country and the NSW health department is constantly having to repudiate popularly shared content. The bullshit asymmetry principle at work.

> China finally moved when it realized the problem could not be swept under the rug

Again, if this outbreak was in the US or Northern Europe, would they _move_ as quickly? Would huge cities be quarantined? Find it incredibly hard to believe.

It's 2020, hiding things a la Chernobyl is not so easy. I think they are doing a half decent job given the circumstances and it's just the usual China bashing by people who have absolutely no idea about the country and only knowledge comes from the newsmedia
It was only after typing this up that I realized the parallel with Who's on first. Brilliant bit.
> The latter seems a bit more likely to me, but I imagine it must be very lossy at times.

I would say that my internal monologue is kinda a summary, and is a bit lossy.

> I often have thoughts that take only an instant, but would take many sentences to verbalize.

I would not say that my internal monologue happens at speech-speed either, it can be much faster, and the actual idea or thought is still instantaneous. The monologue is more about rationalizing or understanding your thought.
From what college? And moving into then out of SF doesn't make the bay area a revolving door.

My (bay area) college class was half from CA, half from the northwest. About 50% of those from the northwest moved 'home' after school. Is that a revolving door? Did they get sick of the area? Or did they never intend to stay?
> When the boomers die, renters will be the ones voting.

When the Boomers die, their GenX and Millenial offspring will inherit their homes, oftentimes, in California, without a full-value tax assessment. And, as the relationships between wealth and voting propensity and wealth and homeownersip are both unlikely to switch directions, homeowners will still be overrepresented in the electorate, and there'll be a new generation of the geriatric vampire class of rent-seeking housing-supply hoarders, and a new generation complaining about them.
> containment within China

I find it incredibly hard to believe if this happened in other countries they'd simply ban all travel into and out of the nation.

Would your country do that given the same circumstance?

I think I understand your point about declaring and then later using your layers.

Are you aware of the Sequential module? It allows you to chain together layers into a single variable, making this repetition disappear into a single forward/__call__ on the Sequential.
Precisely true. Give a mortgage interest deduction, or lower interest rates? Good news! You can afford more house! _and so can everybody else_
Coronavirus is spreading–but the flu is a greater threat to Americans
Here’re Five Data Warehouse Migration Challenges and Its Solution
The city is midway through a 20-year, multi-billion dollar sewer upgrade project, systematically refurbishing and replacing the system block-by-block, road-by-road, neighborhood-by-neighborhood. This is a big reason for all the insane construction citywide.[1]

I don't know the details, but it looks like the flooding described in that article was addressed by the (now completed?) Lower Alemany Area Stormwater Improvement Project and/or Upper Alemany Drainage
Improvements Project, both of which were part of the citywide master plan.

[1] They're also repaving roads after replacement, but it seems coordination isn't as good as it could be, especially in highly trafficked areas. I assume this is why some really bad streets haven't been repaved--waiting for sewer replacement--and why there's a lot of bad patching--repaved too quickly.

I can comment on this for my wife who suffers from anxiety.

She is very good at planning because she needs to feel in control all the time. You are right that when things don't go as planned and the pressure ramps up she loses her control and makes poor decisions or no decision at all.

It's interesting to me as I am on the opposite side for most of the time.
Here's a hack I haven't seen anyone else mention:

Look at the calendars of venues that you like. Their whole job is curation, and they book lots of local bands. Throw one song from each band playing at each venue for the next month into a playlist and listen through it a couple times -- almost surely you'll find new artists you didn't know about, and guess what? Their show is just around the corner.
Mayfly swarms are visible on weather radar. Their declines spell bad news
Oh not glassfish, sorry I did some migration work on that a while back. I meant superfish. :D
Quote: "I don't think you can do anything like this with Python or any other practitioner's language that I'm familiar with"

So, then you're not familiar with C/C++, Java, C#, Pascal/Delphi, Ada - to say the least.
To be fair, the Indian education system was crafted to create 'Brown Sahibs' to manage the Colonial Govt., and unlike say SE Asia and E. Asia, the system remains in essentially the same state that the British left it in. Indeed, most 'Indian Americans' are united in their hatred for their home countries IMO.

On the other hand, it's very unsurprising that India's greatest export remains Human Labour. For those who don't realize this, India's balance of payments is actually positive inspite of the imports being about ~$150 billion more than exports (that is about 5% of nominal GDP). This comes about because of the amount of money that is being repatriated by Indians.

Perhaps it is for this reason that India maintains a linguistic apartheid, whereby only the English speakers have access to education, and higher wrungs of the state like the judiciary, civil services etc. It's also a testament to the nation's collective stupidity that it thinks exporting cheap labour over building skills within the country, is a justifiable strategy.

This is echoed, unsurprisingly, by 'body traders' like Infosys (c.f Nandan Nilekani), but is a common state doctrine after 'independence'. Unlike China, which emphasized mass education access, and local technological ability, India's schools specialize basically in serving Anglo-Saxon nations - most IITians etc. leave the country on graduation (esp. in CS).

Within a country like India, where each of the major languages have a speaking population of an average 6+ million (similar to S. Korea, Germany etc.), and where Hindi has a speaking population of 400+ million, you'd be hard pressed to find a single university of repute that can educate people in any of the native languages. Even the bombastic Tamils in the south or the Hindi pushers in the north have little to show after 70+ years of bitter politicking.

How a mob of uneducated rabble, neither interested in agriculture nor equipped for industry, will be beneficial for India is a puzzle that only Indians appear to be able to "bend" around.

For these reasons, those who compare India with China, have neither an awareness of India's history, its present British colony run by "Brown Sahibs", or even about its historic role as the "pivot for Asia", whereby it was used to colonize the whole of Asia. This is not surprising, since its own 'eminent' academics are often at a loss in doing anything that doesn't involve mimicking their long gone masters.
We do have experience, my C++ projects compile much faster than their rewrite in Rust.

On common laptops that you buy at the shopping mall, not compiler rigs.

I am not doing nothing special, other than all my third party artifacts are binary dependencies, not overusing templates, incremental compilation and incremental linking.

Cargo currently doesn't do binary dependencies, so already here I have to wait for the world to compile.

And while incremental compiling is already supported, lld still isn't supported on stable.

Plus I do have experience using other AOT compiled languages with modules support, since back in the day.

So we know what are talking about, and plenty of people on Rust team are quite aware of the problem, however not every can be fixed at the same time.
Old timers talked about IBM the way people used to talk about Microsoft in the 90s and Google in the 2000s. The new CEO being someone who's been there his entire working life does not sound like a recipe for success.
I think that a lot of the "understanding" part of these kind of films are quirks to do with constraints that the filmmakers had. I would contrast this with Annihilation, which was confusing because it's not properly thought out IMO and with Inception, which was not confusing but did sacrifice artistic expression for mainstream appeal (for example the scenes with a lot of gun fighting).

The immediate things about Stalker that bothered me are, in retrospect, solvable with a higher budget or better film support. Of course, some people prefer the authentic aura of such films. Bellflower would be another example of a good idea and story done on a budget of next to nothing.
Half the population has a phone with a reasonably competent low-light camera in their pocket and yet nobody took a good video of a drone that "didn’t move all night, just hovered over the town"? Bullshit.
Nice to know someone is working to create a sane solution.

Building for the web first and porting to Electron for desktop and webview for mobile is good as you can have identical interfaces for users to switch between and less bugs to chase for developers and I see no downside with that path.

I understand multi user calls/videos isn't simple as I still use Skype just for that for a group of people and it seems to do that part fine.
The only function I've added to my touch bar that wasn't previously available was Screenshot, because I do a lot of snapshotting and screen recording, and I'd rather hit that than the stupid Siri button.

I wish there was a way to add custom app-specific shortcuts to the touch bar (maybe there is? I'm not sure). I use Sketch a lot for designing, and I'd love to have access to my document colors and text styles in the touch bar, but no joy.
Contrary to the title, the post doesn't contain anything specific about the progress of archiving. Like how much of the content is saved and how much isn't.
You don't like welcome screens because you're a techy. Non-tech people love it.
Same, but my genre profile is very diverse, with a lot of niche stuff, as well as more popular. Somehow Spotify "made for you" playlists manage to not only give me relevant suggestions, but also categorize those suggestions almost perfectly.
> Not everyone is a morning person.

This is one reason why I'm in academia: getting up early is quite difficult for me, and researcher schedule is more flexible than a traditional job. In one of my previous lab, the second highest ranked member once told something alone the line of "for me waking up at 7 is like waking up at 3 for a normal person".

> If you are moved by it, you don't need to have it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.

I respectfully disagree. Watching Schindler’s List as an eleven year-old barely had an effect on me. After it was explained to me I found it tremendously heartbreaking.
C++ can be relatively fast when making use of binary dependencies and having a modular build.
The big trade off is the ability to rewrite a large part of the system if a business pivot is needed. That was the bane of the previous company I worked in, engineering and operations was top notch unfortunately it was done too soon and it killed the company because it could not adjust to a moving market (ie customer and sales feedback was ignored because a lot of new features would require an architecture change that was daunting). It was very optimized for use cases that were becoming irrelevant. In my small startup where product market fit is still moving I always thank myself that everything is under engineered in a monolith when signing a big client that ask for adjustments.
It’s 95% about data.

FWIW OSM was founded and is still heavily influenced by the UK. As a UK user I like it that ceremonial cities are tagged and displayed as such. YMMV.
What's the equivalent of

-- zs' = [Just 2, Nothing, Just 4]
zs' = (fmap . fmap) (+1) [Just 1, Nothing, Just 3]

in C?
It's all backed by data. We saw users who engaged with the welcome flow + checklist converting 3x than those who didnt.

We've seen people click on 1-button walkthrough clicking on the button instead of "X".

Also, it really depends on your market.

If walkthrough is tooltips next-next-- People find it annoying. Make it two step -- welcome and directly to aha moment feature. You'll see wonders happening.
I don't like to be a downer. But this Jugaad (or hack your way) attitude is one of the reasons why we (Indians) haven't become good at manufacturing stuff (unlike China). The world needs more solutions than hacks.
I think part of the appeal is the fiction that you are in some sense "friends" with the celeb. Sure its obviously not true; In many cases celeb probably doesn't even operate the account. But if they moved to a custom site, it takes away all pretense of you being a celeb's "friend".

Both primary and high school are mostly glorified baby sitting facilities. The reason kids stay at school from 9-5 is so the parents can go to work in the meantime. Traditional schools are very inefficient as a means of teaching kids.
Medium format 800 ISO film is beautiful and low noise. 35mm, in the other hand, sucks if not pushed 3 stops.

I don't think so (because this can be a short, impulsive decision), but it wouldn't surprise me if some experience it like this.

My personal experience (in the non-audible group) is that the "role" this voice is playing is a bit more supervisory/executive. It thinks about what I need to do tomorrow, or the next three steps on my current project, or that I really need to carve out time to go to the cleaners some morning.

This voice might think about getting food, but mostly when hunger is getting in the way of other priorities. Or when I need to game out how to fit food into a tight schedule.
You can technically introduce anything as a softfork yes. The only difference is how difficult it is to implement, which I think would go beyond "just copy it".
It's possible to configure Django to display some placeholder ("FIXME", for example) or raise an exception when non-existent variable is accessed in template. It can be enabled in the TEMPLATES configuration. And it's better to enable it early during development because it's extremely hard to enable this in any moderately big project: too many pages begin to fail.
I don't do that with most thought but if (hypothetically) i dropped the screw and had to reach down and search for it, and that took some period of time, i might actually think "I have to put this screw in the hole i just drilled" to remind myself what i was doing.

Thanks. It is not an order, though, and it is not for the US only. The booklet just tries and summarizes some of the most recent ongoing academic debates for people that have no time to follow literature. It is meant to be informative instead of authoritative.

This is the source to the original Bourne Shell, shipped in Research UNIX v7. You've probably used GNU Bash, which stands for "Bourne-Again SHell."

The Bourne sh is significant for a few reasons. Primarily, its GNU descendant is now installed on billions of devices.

Perhaps of more interest: Bourne's sh source code heavily abuses C macros to look and feel like ALGOL-68. This is made more significant because it came before C was standardized: it took real knowledge to abuse that much.

While this is C that compiled just fine for the day, and might compile mostly without errors for a compiler with a K&R compatibility mode, it's absolutely wild, and is written compensating for some of K&R's faults (see how it handles true v. false).

I recommend mac.h as a file of particular interest:

https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd/sh...

Bonus points to anyone who understands what these three lines are doing within it:

#define LOBYTE 0377
#define STRIP 0177
#define QUOTE 0200

Also of interest:

This was specifically the reason that the International Obfuscated C Code Contest was created, started just minutes after seeing Bourne's sh for the first time (I'm sorry for formatting this as code block, but the formatting breaks otherwise):

Q: How did the IOCCC get started?
A: One day (23 March 1984 to be exact), back Larry
Bassel and I (Landon Curt Noll) were working for National
Semiconductor's Genix porting group, we were both in our
offices trying to fix some very broken code. Larry had been
trying to fix a bug in the classic Bourne shell (C code
#defined to death to sort of look like Algol) and I had been
working on the finger program from early BSD (a bug ridden
finger implementation to be sure). We happened to both
wander (at the same time) out to the hallway in Building 7C
to clear our heads.

We began to compare notes: ''You won't believe the code
I am trying to fix''. And: ''Well you cannot imagine the
brain damage level of the code I'm trying to fix''. As well
as: ''It more than bad code, the author really had to try to
make it this bad!''.

After a few minutes we wandered back into my office
where I posted a flame to net.lang.c inviting people to try
and out obfuscate the UN*X source code we had just been
working on.
