My perspective on this has evolved quite recently.

I’ve been doing Angular and React apps on the web professionally for six or seven years now, and a few native iOS apps on the side for fun.

Last summer I got a gig doing a React Native app. “No problem; I know React, I know native. Let’s go.”

I kind of hated it. Everything I was doing in React, though familiar and second nature, seemed so DUMB because I knew that Cocoa Touch had better, faster, simpler solutions.

I came out of the experience with the feeling that web apps are profoundly misguided; that we ought to be going back to static sites for the web, and _real_ native for functionality.

I guess my answer is “yes, absolutely, and maybe you should consider ditching web apps altogether.”
I worked next to a Costco while going through school. That place was awesome for a poor college student, even with the membership price. Weekend/summer lunch was a $1.50 hotdog, soda, and one of every free sample. More than enough. The liquor was/is top notch and at a bargain too. Great company.
But the bespoke language has some benefits. It’s concise and specifically designed for the problem. Also Nix has more contributors and that is very important to have a large collection of recipes to start from.
Assuming you're using a region crate like bumpalo, the type of itr is &'a T, where 'a is the lifetime of ptr. This means that ptr has to be anchored in a stack frame. I haven't looked at Verona specifically, but region systems all have this restriction (for example, ML Kit, the originator of regions, required a lexical "letregion" construct), unless they use dependent types.
I believe this is quite common in New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia.

Most larger buildings have a washer and dryer in the basement of the building.

Many people send their laundry out to have it washed and folded by someone else.
You have problems . Seek help and stop watching CNN. CNN is fake news.
Bizarre timing... I am in the process of setting up a forum for the intersection of a few ideas: small sailboats, hacking, low-power computing, living aboard and cruising. Literally started setting up a server last night.

The bigger sailing/cruising forums are not focused on the things that are important to me. And some good resources for small boats have disappeared recently.

I can let you know when it's set up if you're interested.
Still picking a name at the moment. :D

The easiest path to $250k is to go to Oracle. The next easiest path is to go to a unicorn. If you can reach the SDE2-equivalent, you'll be earning over 250k.
The seven stages of the rise and fall of great nations are as outlined:
1. Age of Pioneers
2. Age of Conquest
3. Age of Commerce
4. Age of Affluence
5. Age of Intellect
6. Age of Decadence
7. Age of Decline
While I don't agree with many of these points, I do agree that some of these can be substantially improved. We continue to work hard at it. Some are research problems, while others need elbow grease.

Just to present the other side, here's a recent thread on Julia discourse about why people love Julia. Many chiming in there are recent users of Julia and I think it is insightful.

One that I particularly enjoyed reading about:

yes, same. That doesn’t refute anything though when it comes to looking at how a massive generational shift will impact their business. It’s not incorrect to say this is a business that whose main target is upper middle class suburban families with cars and that in 10-20 years middle aged millennials will in aggregate likely have fewer reasons to go to Costco in the same rate as our parents for all the reasons mentioned above.

going to Costco as a single millennial is basically a hack, not the target customer at all

Often failed experiments, in their failure, give an indication of an entirely new direction. Many groundbreaking discoveries are made that way.

For example, the discovery of synthetic dyes came about from trying to synthesize quinine.

The discovery of the vacuum tube was an accident resulting from Edison playing round with light bulbs trying to figure out why the filaments were breaking.

I dont know why people kept calling it revisionist history. Me and everyone I know except for a handful of people really hated how Windows Mobile works. Maybe its great in some way, buts its definitely not great in mainstream user perspective. And its not just because lack of apps. That was a time when I could forgive lack of apps if its meant better smartphone.
Thanks, I appreciate that. <3

The idea is cool but the execution is weird. Why can I not replace a speaker as a watcher when they leave the room? You just end up with dead rooms with a bunch of watchers. Or am I over thinking this?
I buy all my gas at Costco, and the savings alone from that usually equal or exceed the $60 membership dues by the end of the year, so everything else is pretty much gravy.

That seems like an optimization for folks with cars…

Wool is a miracle fiber as far as I'm concerned.

Quick plug for two of my favorite businesses:

Fox River Socks [1], which is a sock factory in my home town. Up until a year or two ago it was locally owned. The owner sold it to a larger holding company though. I think they still have a fair amount of local control though.

Faribault Woolen Mill [2], a maker of wool blankets in southern Minnesota, about an hour and a half from where I grew up.

To throw in a third, we made our own bed ~6 years ago out of wool batting from Shepherd's Dream [3], which is an Oregon-based wool seller. We are actually planning to order more this week to make another for our kids.

Blade tenderizing Prime beef is terrible and I hate that Costco does it (check the label before you buy), but my understanding is that if you cook via Sous Vide you don't need to take it to 160 degrees. You can cook it at a lower temperature (135/140) for a longer time and still kill harmful bacteria.

If I'm wrong, please correct me!
Costco == Trust.

Trust in quality, Trust is service, Trust in prices.

To the point that when I need to buy quality stuff at good prices and avoid doing lenghty research to filter out scam, fakes and crap (aka: Amazon, Ebay and their little siblings)
- Cosco wins.

There is no other business where people come in with an intention to buy $50 worth of stuff and then consistently spending 5-10 times more each and every time.

Fun fact: It took me 10 years to stop calling it "Price club"
Nar, bad people need to change their ways until they are good people and employable.

Unless they are _literately_ unemployable, in which case we should consider them disabled at look after them as if we would anybody else with metal or physical disabilities.
Guix is a GNU project which underpins today’s largest eco-system of OS, utilities, tools, apps and language related work. It has larger community as well.

So although it’s inspired by Nix, I personally will chose it as it has evolved quickly and if you look at all three aspects Guix, Guix System and documentation it’s now better than Nix. Also last but not the least I work with emacs lisp, so I feel at home with Guile Scheme so I will prefer Guix over Nix.

Personally I will like Nix also to flourish and being a non GNU project it will be able to provide closed source proprietary packages which is not part of core Guix. I think a healthy competition between the two is good, and whichever gets popular is overall good for advances in OS eco-system. Guix System is a new OS, not just package manager.

But by making Guix package manager available to other systems, it might move people who see benefits to move to transactional, predictable, secure OS like NixOS or Guix System.
Yes - but then their final stage is built on top of an Alpine container, and they complain about Alpine's package manager + OS files being included in the image.

If their final stage was based on scratch or distroless, the Docker file size would have come out to the minimal ~90MB result too.
maybe the idea is, but the execution is definitely different. If you used them both(Meego and WebOS) you would know how distinctly different they are.
I understand the concept of "it's a word because people use it" - but what does it actually mean? No one can give a consistent defininition because it's nebulous jargon with no clear or specific meaning. Without fail, every single usage is obfuscating or otherwise hiding the intended meaning.

Check out this Unity blog post I just came across: "Achieve beautiful, scalable, and performant graphics with the Universal Render Pipeline"

What exactly are "performant graphics"? Does that mean high frame-rate? High-poly? Extremely vibrant colors? HDR? Can run on a 486 with software rendering?

It doesn't tell me anything, and is essentially "vocabulary clickbait" - it "sounds good", without really communicating anything. This is why I despise this word.
The article is about a technique that avoids this problem: keep all your notes in one large text file. This eliminates the need to search across local and remote filesystems plus Outlook; instead you do a string search in a single text file. You commented on the article, saying, “My boss does this,” but it sounds like he is doing something else entirely. What did you mean to say?
Kinda ironic, that when they were actually using real PC tech, people were claiming they weren't, whereas now Hollywood sins the crap outta the hacker-type, and nobody bats an eye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn_(file_manager)

EDIT: Come to think about it... back then, the tech was probably just about mature enough to make such a thing just about possible, certainly today it can beautifully be done, and can maybe even more efficient (for the user/work, not hardware) than classic terminal/GUI approaches. I've never used a third party file explorer, apart maybe from WinSCP, but what sounded ridiculous could actually be pretty genius.

Anyone here on a 3d filesystem explorer?
Yeah, the problem in a market like this is differentiation. Lots of stores have "brandless" or own-branded goods that are at least acceptable (Costco's Kirkland, Trader Joe's general goods, etc.) and it's hard to see what the value proposition of buying something non-branded is from a website vs. a store.
Love the edginess and design, but taking the user off-site (to the oflows.net domain, whatever that is) for sensitive application forms doesn't build a lot of trust imo.

that's cool and all. but you don't understand how much the membership pays for itself with just gas alone

Right now my Costco has gas 50c less than any place around me
> Maybe I'm unique in this (I don't think I am), but if anything the curse of modern life is that we're absolutely awash in free time.

It is hard for me to understand your point of view on this.

What is the difference between saying "modern people have too much free time" and "modern people live too long?"

> What would I do with an extra 30 minutes? Probably check Hacker News or Facebook more than I already do.

Some things you can do in those extra 30 minutes:

- Read a book

- Call an old friend

- Paint, write, or create something

- Code on your hobby project

If you think checking hacker news or Facebook is a waste of time, then don't, and find something more worthwhile to do instead.
I find it pretty stunning that Nix has decided to drop support for OS X over ideological reasons like this. There are workarounds, but the reality is that they're upset at apple's decision so they just dropped support. We're not close to a year in to this these issue threads. Any software which would be so anti-user does not deserve to be used. Nix might be magical but that sucks.
Why can't you just have the higher level representation of the code available and just recompile everything?

Despite intentions by my two previous managers, I try to minimize and avoid '1-1' meetings. Why? Because I want a relationship with the manager where we can talk whenever we need to, instead of having a weekly 'meeting' with an 'agenda', etc. in my long work life, the best experiences have always been where I had no 1-1.

The common argument I hear (from managers and others) is 'but we just want a time that's guaranteed reserved, in case you need it'. But that's a calendar problem, not a 1-1 problem. If a manager needs to put me on the 'calendar' to be sure that they can talk to me, they've failed as a manager.

TL;DR: '1-1' meetings are unnecessary when you have a manager who understands communication and realizes their job is to help you succeed, not 'supervise' you.
> 1. Foreign nationals, working (?criminally) to exfiltrate information from US companies (or servers in the US) can now be subject to US laws directly?

Of course. We live in the 21st century, it's possible to commit crimes in countries you've never visited from halfway across the world. If such people weren't subject to criminal law where they committed their crimes, IT-support scammers, ransomware crooks, and all kinds of other criminals would act with even more impunity than they already do.

I looked at Costco's financials a few years ago and their total annual profit is (was?) approximately equal to their total annual income from membership fees.

I think most people conceive of Costco as a place where you save by buying low quality groceries in bulk. But they really only sell high quality groceries. If you’re poor, you probably can’t afford to shop at Costco for anything other than non-food items.
This seems quite consistent with the idea that microtubules are the locus of the real action of consciousness and memory. The amyloid theory would then be confusing cause and effect. If that's so, plaques don't cause Alzheimers; they are the side-effect of a process that causes Alzheimers: disintegration of microtubules.

Do you happen to have any link on a presentation or post about that? I did a quick search and couldn't find more about it, though maybe it has a more specific name or something? No worries if you don't know offhand, just curious :)
This really. I hate searching for a product on Amazon. I usually get like 3-5 of the exact same item from different sellers under different names and it just feels scummy. I'll go to Amazon if there's a specific product I already have in mind, but otherwise I'll shop on Target's website.
I think the main reason is a failure to properly understand the employee.

Most employer-employee relationships [in the US, anyway] are akin to serfdom, or some other weird form of drastically-out-of-whack power structure. Employees often aren't treated as equals, they're not given agency or power, their needs and desires aren't understood, and they aren't inspired by a common cause. So unless an individual takes it upon themselves to suddenly do the best job they can possibly do, they will flounder in their own little world, being largely ignored by management (until they're not meeting some ridiculous arbitrary yearly goals that are mostly designed to cull the completely apathetic) and never having any interaction with executives other than the way a king would give proclamations to the townspeople.

To me, "treating people well" means treating them like people who have a say in what they do and how they do it, by helping them do the things they want to do, by connecting them to their work, giving them pride and purpose, feeling valued and compensated. After that, the rest takes care of itself. But getting to that point is impossible if management treats them like cattle.
I find that if you treat an employee like a race horse they won't turn out to be an old nag. Obviously there are outliers but generally there is a positive feedback loop.
Employee perks and salaries seem much easier to cut than to increase. Given enough time, especially if a business goes through struggles, things end up down hill. But also, I think your implied premise is flawed. The goal is to run a successful company, and unfortunately happy workers don't factor much into the success, not always. Mediocre, unhappy workers are much easier to come by. If you can structure your business to run well on those that might actually be optimal for the bottom line, and that's really all that matters on the stock market.
Evolution is a feature of populations, not individuals.

If the proto-chickens had 76 chromosomes, and some had a tendency to have offspring with 78 chromosomes, there would be some 78 chromosome chickens born within the population. As long as those chickens bred with each other it would work. Soon they would become a distinct population of individuals breeding with each other.

This kind of essentialized thinking is why the US is so poor at leveraging its labor force effectively, falls back on MBA sophistry, private equity grifting, and biz guru cultishness.

W. Edward Deming and the Toyota model he inspired demonstrate that it’s more about empowering workers, treating them with respect and autonomy, and respecting their contributions for what they really are, as opposed to ascribing them to management. Go read about what Toyota did at the NUMMI plant if you need further evidence of this.
There's two facets to this: one is about privacy and the other is a naïveté about the nature of people with power and how the weak fail to anticipate the powerful's capabilities.

First: Okay, they give me all of your passwords, banking PINs, a list of all of your sexual proclivities, all of your browser histories including porn, and agree to live in a glass house that's live-streamed 24x7 to the internet.

Second: The weak rarely realize the scope of capabilities the powerful can lord over them. One obvious capability is powerful can direct district attorneys/crown prosecutors to look for evidence that a target has committed a crime. One common attack is over-prosecution for technical infractions that the weak volunteer; that this, giving too much information combined with tens of thousands of arcane laws setup the victim for attack. For more on this topic, there's a good book called Three Felonies a Day. Furthermore, sometimes the powerful just make up "crimes" to justify harsh punishments: Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, Fred Hampton and Leonard Peltier are just a few that come to mind. (Daniel Ellsberg's freedom is a miracle.) Furthermore, powerful people have powerful friends who have even more capabilities at their disposal. It's not some sort of grand, organized conspiracy theory, it's human nature that people of similar interests help others in a similar station and those at the top have many more sacrificial Random Jobs.
We just keep trying to hide complexity and fragility with more layers of redirection and abstraction - it doesnt solve the problem, but it makes it tomorrows problem.

In the end, excessively clever people make me nervous, because they leave complex problems in their wake, which I'm not clever enough by half to solve.
There you go again conflating police oversight and accountability with disdain for law enforcement. With that attitude it's not surprising you bailed on the Bay Area.

Many American companies that are infamous for not being able to do it here manage it in their overseas locations. I pin it on the deficiencies of American culture and some combination of the failures in worker's rights, corporate priorities, and consumer habits that it influences. We know a good thing when we see it, but with our history and our ethos, we just can't seem to help ourselves. The "what" we do wrong is myriad, but I believe this is the why.
How does that work? From what I’ve heard, gas stations don’t get anywhere near 50 cents of profit per gallon. Even with massive scale and logistics I would be surprised that they can pull that off.
It's complicated. Helium does make the list, but lithium doesn't. Carbon and oxygen are higher than you'd expect if you're just going by atomic weight.
I don't think flat design is the issue (although I agree that it's getting to be as overdone as skeuomorphism back in the early '00s). The real issue is that it's discarded all of our carefully built up visual design language (ie. what makes things feel 'intuitive') in favour of a churning mishmash of beautiful new impediments to understanding. The disappearance of top menus. Inscrutable icons instead of text. Hamburger menus, arcane X-finger-slide-from-Y-edge style secret handshakes, it just keeps getting worse.
I'm not going to go deploying anything in this blog post to production, if I deploy a Go app it will probably look like the first Dockerfile (and probably with an official Go image rather than a homebrewed one.) That said I really appreciate people like the author doing all this work because in 10-20 years I think most people will be using, though maybe not Nix/Kubernetes/Docker, something that combines their best features and requires none of this fiddling.

But we're not going to get there without people doing this sort of stuff that can't possibly be worth the effort today.
So you mean in the United States or some other developed country? Ok. I know you already understood what I was saying. I’m not going to argue.
5s is a pretty shit standard to set and in general customers or visitors that you lose to poor website won't tell you about it unless it directly impacts them. Also laughable that 5s should somehow become more acceptable even though we have better tools, faster networks, and faster hardware on all fronts.

It seems like your argument isn't that it's fine across the board, but rather that it's tolerable in a few circumstances. If I try and load a website that is packed with features but loads slowly and maybe has a choppy experience, I'm going to go somewhere else if I can. It's only in the few circumstances that you can't go somewhere else will you be relatively fine.
This is only a thing in extremely dense, expensive American cities. Most Americans have washing machines in their home.
Yes, perfect comparison. This is super popular nowadays. Fintech startups like Varo, Sofi, Chime, GreenDot, and I think Simple all use the FDIC of their 'partner' banks. IMO not much risk, all my money is in the first two I mentioned.
