I agree with others that you should do something further from your main work. Since you struggle with that, what about working to complement your development efforts?

What are your long-term goals beyond releasing the app?

Do you want to have many people using it? Will they pay? How do you want to market the app? Do you want to hire or join a dev team? Do you want to manage a dev team?

Technical sales, coding for a team (instead of yourself) and management are all learnable skills, but they don't seem as time-critical to an engineer so they seem like they can be pushed off.

However, you need to start somewhere, and if you focus on shipping something out the door then you'll never get off that near-term treadmill. So, read up on those, listen to podcasts or videos on the topic, etc.

Or, are you working on the weekend on your off-time to develop software for your employer? In which case, I'm sure your employer is happy with your free donation of part of your life, and won't do hardly anything in return.

Or, are you worried that co-workers are also working on the weekend and you'll lose your job if you don't keep up with them? In which case, you're in a race to the bottom. Start learning about labor-management relations from a pro-labor perspective.
Paint.NET is a worthy replacement to MSPaint, and I'm glad it exists. It IMO manage to balance simplicity and features that is quite accessible to an average user.
Code reviews are bad, I want to be able to run the code and put breakpoints from GitHub.

Having to check out the branch, install dependencies, build the code and run it only to then go back to the UI to see the changes and comments is very time consuming and being able to test suggested changes instantly would save me a ton of time.

I would gladly pay for this.
Have you given Raku (fka Perl 6) a try? It seems its roles[1] resemble Haskell's typeclasses, and it borrows heavily lots of good features found in other languages.

Disclaimer: I haven't used either language, just learned about Raku recently from this[2] excellent FOSDEM talk.

You have to do a graceful restart after rotation, according to the docs, which then leads to scripts that try a couple times and then reboot. (It's been a while, but I did have an install where graceful restart would work once, but consistently fail on the second rotation).

In NZ, gorse is actually a fairly good nursery for native trees/bush that will eventually shade it out and take over from it. The main problem gorse caused was taking over grassy farmland.

Pine trees are another matter though, they make it very difficult for native plants.

It's beyond dispute that Mormonism is derived from Christianity and considers itself to be the restored, correct form of it.

Still, I think you'd find very few theologians who would consider them to be Christian. Their beliefs are largely based on the Christian scriptures but significantly depart from the traditional form of Christianity outlined in the early creeds. And that's the point of restorationism: Everyone else got it wrong, and those differences REALLY matter to the point where God gave a new revelation to fix it.
Microsoft owns GitHub.
That's hardly a resolution, because it assumes such an update would actually be applied to all the machines in question.
> Mess with the ecosystem in an extreme way and you might suffer dire consequences.

This was exactly my main point.

Apparently the elimination of sparrows also led to a dramatic increase in mosquitos (since sparrows eat mosquitoes), so it had a domino effect of negative impacts. They didn't have the technology to obliterate mosquitoes at the time, and that's essentially what we're talking about here...so I'm saying there will likely be unforeseen consequences if people mess with this. (coming from a guy who hates mosquitoes - i actually bought mosquito pants last year bc they are so bad in the summer when I'm doing yard work)

repl.it is a nice take on this problem:

https://repl.it/

I was impressed by the low latency (at least as of a few months ago). If you make a web app right, it can be faster than a resource-hogging local IDE!

I don't use it myself every day because I've already been using vim/screen/bash for 15+ years. Those are my lightweight REPLs.

But if I were advising someone to code, and they wanted to skip the dev env, I would probably try repl.it. They also have impressive concurrent editing facilities in any language.

----

I also think the question is malformed, because I would hesitate to say there's any "single problem" in software development. It's all death by a thousand paper cuts.

The "dev env" problem is real, but it's really a problem with 100+ different tools. It's an architecture/ecosystem problem.

repl.it has some creative solutions to these problems, though it's still a ton of work. I think they are doing great but it's not going to solve all problems.

For example, another popular dev env is for data science or machine learning researchers. RStudio is doing some good stuff there, and there's Google colab, etc.

Software development is very big diverse and it's hard to imagine one solution cutting across all of it.

Spinning turbine blades are under significant mechanical stress. Individual blades are getting as tall as a 30 story buildings, but they rotate so you need to support all that weight from one end. Further, the tips are spinning at 100+MPH constantly so dust in the air is eroding the surface.

On top of this weight savings are a major goal so their designed to just barely work for a given lifespan. So, blades that where pulled from a working turbine are still really strong, they are simply more likely to fail at some unknown point in the future.

PS: Turbines from 20+ years ago are much smaller, but faced similar issues. For scale compare the turbine blade with cars in this shot and think this thing is rotating: https://www.technology.org/2018/03/23/here-is-the-worlds-lar...

> It's very hard to be a 95th percentile soccer, basketball, or track athlete without a decent amount of innate athleticism.

Completely not true.

Having absolute solid basics that you drill every single day (dribble with both hands or both feet, run your conditioning, shoot free throws, etc.) puts you in the 95th percentile until probably Division 1-A college level (at which point, yes, innate size and body type start to matter).

familysearch.org is incredible. My previous bishop (a Bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ is essentially a pastor; bishops are unpaid volunteers) worked for Family Search in their engineering department. It most certainly costs millions to operate, and is being extremely actively developed. Last I heard they’re using machine learning to index obituaries from old newspapers so that people could find records of their ancestors more easily. Pretty incredible stuff.

Try taking a look at Family Search. It’s so cool.

Localizations are generally provided by a combination of "Language Packs" and "Satellite Packages" [0] so it works as you expect. But the ability to have "dynamic localization" has a cost in and of itself since localization is not just merely text but in some cases program code as well.

As for two executables? It's complicated and there are application compatibility considerations.

I don't know what you're referring to with "isn't a reason to remove two versions instead of one".

My background in financial engineering is limited to trying to make sense of articles like this so maybe someone more in-the-know would be kind enough to help me understand. But when you securitize an asset, isn’t it typically an asset that has intrinsic value, e.g. property of some sort that can be easily liquidated? It seems to me that recurring revenue for a service only has value as long as that service exists. So if some startup selling dog food subscriptions stops providing that service, the subscriptions are worth exactly zero.

To take the example further, would said startup now be unable to sell the book of business to someone else before going broke?
I think "idiomatic" would be using rand.Perm, which implements the Fisher%E2%80%93Yates shuffle. But aside from whether it's idiomatic, converting to a map isn't random enough.
I keep a daily log like this at my job. Basically, if I have a list to-dos, I add them to today's log and if they don't all get done, I copy-paste them into tomorrow's entry.

Like the author, I tried various productivity apps (even created my own to-do app), but the one constant for the last 15-20 years of working for me is the daily log.

For my personal coding projects, I just keep track of tasks using a TODOs.md file. Whenever I encounter a new bug, a design idea, feature request, etc., I add it to the file. I check off the items as I do them and move them around the file to keep it easy to find incomplete tasks.

Here's an example of one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/allenu/slouchdb4/master/TO...

The big learning for me is simple tools are often good enough. Just get things done and don't worry too much about complicated tools or workflows that you may end up getting tired of and ditching.

The government shouldn't be in the business of deciding what is a dangerous apocalyptic cult and what is a legitimate congregation of spiritual seekers. (Some non-US governments do exactly this incidentally).

But dangerous apocalyptic cults do exist. They harm adherents and harm society at large. So yes, it can and it does happen.

The ability to accumulate massive wealth is not needed for spiritual practice, provides severe moral hazards (often contrary to the stated purposes of the religion) and provides means to carry out social agendas which affect non-adherents. So the simple and common sense solution is to legally prevent this accumulation.

There are already restrictions on freedom of religion (and speech, and firearms etc). You can't slap a "Church" label on a prostitution ring and have it fly (this actually has happened). Nor in my estimation should you be able to slap a Church label on a business or real estate company and have it fly. You are one or the other, you get to chose for tax purposes and amount of wealth the organization is allowed to accumulate.

A bit off topic but for the record, I think it is manifestly dangerous to allow individuals or corporations too much power (financial or otherwise) also. But religions have a history of behaving much more irrationally because it is such a personal emotional issue and is less regulated by rational self interest. Thus it can be more dangerous. Keep churches churches and they will be better churches. Make them businesses (or even worse governments) and everyone is screwed.

Also someone downvoted you because they apparently don't agree. For whatever it's worth I'm reversing that because I think your points are worth considering.

From my understanding, it's project management with free market economics. Colonies and tasks are funded and whoever completes the task gets the reward. So, like a colony, it's a self-organising entity that works towards a goal that is most rewarding for everyone.
I do the same thing. Just keep a running bucket list of tasks with highest priority at top.
I'm interested in what features and integrations (possibly to be included in the default install) that Emacs and Vim need to compete with IDEs. A package for major OSs that contains Emacs+various packages, gcc, autotools and make all set up to run out of the box would be great.

Meaning browsers? The answer there is stop doing stupid things with the URL. When I type “localhost” into Firefox I’m not expecting a google search.

If libc does that then that’s surprising and probably also wrong.
Christians in general all denounce socialism --even it seems democratic socialism.

Christ taught: Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, give all you have to those in need then come follow me, else there's no path to heaven if you're a shallow rich person.

I'm no expert on Marxism, but I think there's quite a bit of crossover in ideologies.

But the point of my argument is most church's don't practice what Christ preached, they're essentially anti-christian churches.
That would break internal workflows for a lot of companies—they’re relying on “corp” as a bare TLD to resolve to an internal network endpoint.

I bet many IT admins would find this “quick fix” that would “make it work again” by effectively removing that /etc/hosts entry.

Perhaps a better patch would be to remove the [TLD] => [TLD].com DNS failover resolution feature.
I have the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U (4c8t) with integrated Vega 8. I haven't done any under/overclocking or anything special, it's a pretty vanilla machine. I've only swapped out the NVMe drive it came with for a Samsung one.
If the fiat transfers could be cryptographically validated, then I assume yes, as Colony is customizable.

In any case you can use fiat backed or fiat pegged crypto tokens, like USDC and Tether or DAI, respectively. All the fiat-linked tokens I'm aware of are issued on Ethereum, given they use the ERC20 token interface, so would be compatible with Colony.

Circa 1984 or so in Silicon Valley, I was a member of ModemCycle.

To be a member one had to own a computer and a motorbike.

It was a small group of very diverse folks, really a fun time while it lasted.

The monthly Paul Revere rides were the most fun, we'd meet around 10 PM at a Denny's somewhere and ride all night during the Full Moon, ending at a Denny's somewhere else around 5 or 6 AM, then home to sleep.

Wonder what happened to them all, great folks!
It will likely auction to the highest bidder, which (in a perfect market) is the person who extracts the most value out of it. They then make a compelling case that cyber criminals are very high on that list, probably in a strategic PR attempt to scare Microsoft a bit in what could happen.

You're right to still feel suspicious. Who's to say they didn't try 1,000 different post-hoc ideas? They declare only one, the may have been others. I'd be looking for preceding research and any published protocols, if I wasn't on mobile and didn't think it would be fruitless.
>but it seems to be less communicable than SARS or H1N1 right now, too

I was in this region both during SARS and now. It's very clear from your comments that you weren't really paying attention during SARS and you're misinformed now.

More people have already been infected by this coronavirus than the entire cumulative SARS infections to date. There have been more deaths too, despite its relatively "low" virulence.

> And I'm going to be frank: the very young and very old could just as easily die of influenza

No. This is completely false. Please stop.

A seasonal flu kills 2 per 100k infected and this virus kills ~2,000 per 100k infected. SARS was much more lethal but this is not a garden variety influenza and telling people it is is actively harmful.
On that note, the Slackware guy said that the startup speed advantage of systemd wasn't really worth it for his distro, on the reasoning that most people only rarely completely reboot their computer anyway, especially how we have hibernate and suspend today.
Making them optional provides zero real-world benefit, with the downside that now some systems now have no way to edit a text file.

Consider that unused features don't need to be downloaded, reduce OS footprint, reduce update downtime, and reduce bandwidth usage during updates all of which can benefit both the customer and the supplier.

Also consider that not all environments need specific functionality or may purposefully want to remove it for a variety of reasons.

I use a notebook as well but mostly for hashing out design ideas. It's a great pleasure to just sit with a coffee at a cafe with just your notebook drawing system diagrams. No distractions from online. However, I still keep track of work in a text file since it's much faster to type things as I'm working at a machine. (Obviously it's not great for drawing ideas though!)
no. you're thinking of convertible notes.
Now the interesting question is which number is greater, unreported cases or unreported deaths. I'd say the number of unreported cases tends to be way higher than unreported deaths. Fits apparently epidemics in general. Also it is kind of logic. Severe cases have a bias to end up in hospitals, and to reported when they end deadly, only leaving the measuring error due to reporting issues.

Less severe cases on the other hand have a tendency to end up unreported, not in the hospital. Neither deadly. Still leaves a number of never reported cases. All in all, unreported cases are likely to be higher than unreported deaths. As a result, qualitatively speaking, mortality should be lower.
Whole-system costs should be modeled. Better modelers than these should do the job.

Look at their Table 2 of cost assumptions. They show overnight costs for onshore wind farms at $2000/kW, 30% capacity factor and nuclear at $4700/kW overnight, 100% capacity factor. If those numbers were valid for the US, we'd already have a nuclear renaissance here and wind would have remained a small niche source. Texas and Oklahoma didn't build all those wind farms because of pressure from Greenpeace.

New wind gets a Federal production tax credit, of course. Nuclear also qualifies for a smaller production tax credit. I think that the nuclear PTC and wind PTC should have been equal all along, but I don't actually think that would have changed much about the growth curves in the US. The main problem with new nuclear projects is that they are badly estimated and take a very long time to build, so they don't even reach the part where they can collect those tax credits.

Nuclear needs more frequent builds if it's ever going to get costs and project estimation uncertainty back down to reasonable levels. The US doesn't have a political system that can really commit to a plan longer than 8 years. We couldn't commit to an American Messmer Plan even if a really pro-nuclear President and Congress were in office this year. It looks to me like small modular reactors, executed well, are the last good path forward for nuclear reactors. I'd like to see some built soon. I've been reading proposals for them my whole adult life.

There's never such a thing as no bugs, even in any future hypothesized development methodology, for any given non-trivial program. The most you can do from the language side is reduce or eliminate certain types of bugs. The most you can get from a methodology is pour time (and/or money) into it.
