Thats is fine, but is surprising how many stuff you need to make a semi-complex site. Is better for a ecosystem to have the "batteries-included" framework that cover the needs of many and then specialize.

Django, ROR pull a lot of people into.
Unfortunately, the Mac version requires 10.15 (Catalina) or later. I won't be touching that for quite sometime to come.
Heh, that's mine and about my Sciter project.

Sciter is pretty full implementation of HTML5 and CSS, has scripting engine on board, etc. So, indeed, I am personally competing with teams behind WebKit, Trident, Gecko, V8 (JS Engine), Chakra (MS JS Engine) and bunch of others.

And recently with ReactJS (Sciter got Reactor - native implementation of ReactJs), Angular and others.

And that is really a fun project to work on - many different paradigms on the same code base.
LongJmp can be used as a way to implement exceptions at a low level, especially in languages like C, where you dont have them as a language construct.

You call SetJmp, where you would want to put your try/catch blocks, then no matter how deep down some call stack you go, if an errir occurs, you can immediately jump back to where you called setjmp and handle it / report the error or whatever, rather than having to handle and bubble up the error by at every intermediate level, "returning" your way up the call stack.
Well, Contrast is usually in parlance as extremes. I think he means in context of what else is in the image, not just contrast. For example, you can have a "dark green" and "dark orange" used in a graphic of a tree on a black background, and you would perceive it as brown due to the context of the "tree-ness" on your screen.
I don't have any notion that sites should be exactly the same in every browser, but they should be approximately the same. Having two browsers render the same HTML in completely different ways would be very odd.

I too prefer higher level tests, but for a different reason: the deep unit tests tend to make it harder to change the code in non-functional ways. If I decide my program structure is wrong most of my unit tests will not apply to the new structure, but the high level tests need to pass.
Is IndieHackers completely fucked for anyone else right now in Chrome 80.0.3987.106 on MacOS? The js and CSS static assets are getting blocked for some reason, even after disabling all my extensions and refreshing the page in incognito and without cached assets.

Simdjson-Go: Parsing Gigabytes of JSON per Second in Go
I've always used one on my desktop so was actually surprised to see those ads when I did the search on my phone. Those were the first political ads that I've seen because I don't watch TV and don't use social networks.
I find the source code of the Netsurf browser really beautiful:

- https://netsurf-browser.org/

- https://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/

Including the sub projects, for instance:

- https://source.netsurf-browser.org/libcss.git/tree/

- https://source.netsurf-browser.org/libdom.git/tree/

It feels immediately obvious and understandable, which is quite impressive for a browser. Everything is well documented, well separated, the code is clean and seems simple, functions are small, etc. I am really impressed. I'd want to work on such code. I have never worked on it though, and I am not connected in any way to this project.
So, your ideal is to become a snake oil vendor?
Uh, isn't a "paid message" just a politically correct way to refer to an Ad?
Ugh, please spare us
> Signal would have to be much better with features everyone (not just the tech-savvy) can appreciate to be able to outweigh Whatsapp's network effect.

Network effects work both ways, and they're only an insurmountable barrier if you preemtively surrender to them. They're also predominantly built of local components, which allows the change to start small by influencing those smaller groups.

For instance, if the tech-savvy switch to Signal and boycott WhatsApp, you'd have the nucleus of a network effect starting to work in Signal's favor. Some political constituencies would probably find Signal's non-profit organization specially appealing, and could also help form that nucleus.

Social behavior can also start help reenforce and accelerate a more general change. If WhatsApp is treated as unfashionable and dated, while Signal is treated as fashionable and new, some people will be more motivated to switch.

Everyone already uses multiple messaging apps (unless they stick to plain SMS). I doubt we will ever converge on one. However, success for Signal would be encouraging enough people to have it installed that it doesn't have any special friction associated with it.

Indeed, this is the subconscious aspects of your brain presenting information to your conscsious parts. I notice this too! It's amazing, and I think it's where the whole "gut feel" comes from.

Why isn't it tested at 2mm if that is the standard useage?

Why rely on a model?

20,000 phones are being sold an hour. Why not buy 200 phone's off 200 shelves and test them comprehensively at 0 mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm ..... The cost to volume sold is completely negligible and it is useful consumer information as 3 percent of the population is electrosensitive.

An estimated 30 million people suffer from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue) in the world and the average diagnosis takes seven years. Chronic health conditions are increasing exponentially. Healthy people aren't sensitive to environmental stimuli but unhealthy people are and the number of chronically unhealthy people grows by the day as livers strain under the stressors and weakening of modernity.

Turn your wifi off in your house at night and see if you sleep any better. Pretty simple anecdotal experiment. A house without the wifi on or excess electrical componentry on has a nicer feel. We did not evolve with this electromagnetic radiation and the cost of testing is negilible given the global population's growing exposure to it and something interesting may fall out of the research.

The risk of Apple having to make slight design modifications if research raises an issue is not a huge concern of mine. One hours phone sales should cover it and then they could further differentiate their products and raise prices.

How many electrical engineering schools are there in the world? Sounds like a great way for a university to get their staff free Iphones with a research grant.
You're drawing an equivalence between 5 and 25 year old software?

Microsoft Windows 10 is able to run software that predates all of Apple's supported platforms.
I also recommend the author's other podcast "Cautionary Tales". It's very well produced, and fascinating.

Virtualizating Windows isn't very hard, even back to something like Windows 95.

On the other hand, only OSX 10.7+ are really easy to run in a VM, and .5 and .6 only work for servers, and anything before 10.5 isn't really going to be compatible with virtualization. That's 2007, so OSX lets you virtualize back about 13 years, and Windows you can go back almost 30 years. People even have Win 3.1 running in VMware.

This is probably due to the fact that there isn't powerpc virtualization software, but if you need to run osx software from before 2007, you're basically out of luck.

You can also virtualize windows from just about any OS you can imagine, Mac, Linux, Windows etc, while OSX virtualization has a hard requirement for running on Mac hardware.
Lately, I feel like we're living in the Information Age equivalent of this.

Shortly after the Industrial Revolution, society was inundated with all of the new incredibly unhealthy side effects of industrialization. People simply didn't know that those consequences were coming, what their scale would be, or how to handle them. Technology changes much faster than culture, laws, and infrastructure.

Today, we are inundated with disinformation, memes, and a horde of technology trying to take our attention away from our own control. It looks to me as unhealthy and unsustainable as a soot-covered 1850s London or a 1960s 747 packed full of smokers.

It's a scary time to be alive, but I have some optimism that we will figure out how to mitigate the negative consequences of the information world we've created, hopefully in time to deal with the next revolution that follows.
I am happy with the direction Apple is taking, locking down macOS. I have two Linux laptops I can mess with, I want my Macs as secure as possible.
We have professionals able to cope with they in the best public benefit.

Managing key species as a bussiness only for a minority of the society leads often to lots of money lost for all citizens. We talk of species absolutely necessary for having a healthy ecosystem.

Wolves create economic damages but also pay generously for them. They clean lyme, keep cattle diseases under control in wildlife reservoirs, improve pastures and build forests and rivers. Wolf's work literarily create entire biocenosis with decens of new animals linked.

In Yellowstone the wolf build from nothing a $5000000/year bussiness in a few years. Those new opportunities attract and fix young human population and put children in some states that need it.

Alive wolves trigger a lot of unexpected benefits for both humans and animals. We could never pay its environmental services, or the lifes of humans saved by wolves directly or indirectly

But we don't want that money, of course.
Fascinating. I mean we know that repetitive TMS can induce mania in unipolar depression cases so it makes sense that Surmount could have a manic psychosis induced by it. I think the trigger rate is higher for bipolar patients as well. And while it's rare in general, Surmount had a lot of treatments which probably raised the likelihood of a manic episode. I don't think we know the combined effect of TMS and antidepressants for example and the likelihood they trigger mania.

This is really neat, but the real breakthrough in 3D printing, to me, is: My co-worker recently got a pretty good 3D printer for under $200.
I have been waiting exactly for something like this. I suggest that you open source it and spend time building a ecosystem and develop a business to build custom requirements from enterprises. But open source the core product so that a ecosystem can build around it. On the other hand if you want to commercialize it completely then please don't license it on a per project basis but have a one time fee. Your target customers will be tinkerers and developers who has to build fast and fail fast. Dont restrict them on a per project license method. Thanks!
> Exceptions are rather easy to reason in the code

In some code, for some people.

In code where the "exceptions are rather easy to reason" about the flowchart would also be easy to read.

In code where the exceptions hide a flowchart that's a hot mess the exception syntactic sugar hides the mess.
Early versions of Dreamweaver were pretty slick. I used it as my primary IDE for developing ASP pages in early 2000.
Hmm, that seems unlikely but I honestly don’t know. Possibly free for US citizens but a small fee for visitors? I can’t imagine it would be closed to visitors, though you should be able to contact them to find out.

I find it odd too that they did some minor releases, yet python 3 was not on the radar.

End of life is correct. It is end of life since it doesn't run on current platforms.

I am not sure if the latest distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat) have all removed python 2 packages. If not, it will be gone with the next major release. You're going to be in trouble to run software with no available interpreter, plus all the libraries in use are effectively abandoned.
Not quite the same. VW wasn’t making special vehicles just for testing. It was software on every vehicle designed to trick a dyno.

I guess it could be theoretically possible for Apple to software cheat the FCC but it really does seem easier to just make a phone that meets the specifications.
By understanding the problem, you can bring multiple people together to figure out how to solve it. We all have different skillsets and sometimes the best solution isn't in our skill set or is a combination of skill sets.

I see this with my boss. He always brings feature request to me and we have to work backward to get to the problem. Then we usually come up with a simpler solution once we understand the problem.
That makes a lot of sense to me. One of the reasons I stick mostly with software is that it allows for much quicker iteration. That increases both my ability to explore a space (when working divergently) and polish a product (when I'm in convergence mode). Hardware is, well, hard.

Iteration speed can make a huge difference in outcome. I read that the average consumer electronics company goes through 3-7 physical product iterations. Apple, on the other hand, went through more than 100 generations of prototype for the first iPod.

Obviously what you've done here is just getting started, but it points in a really interesting direction. A 3D printer with swappable heads for plotting and an add-on PCB etching kit should definitely have a market. That would mean recurring revenue for PCB supplies at a good margin, too.
I noticed space values (minW, etc) require a “px” to work, but theme-ui doesn’t require it, and defaults “px”
I do not agree there is a material difference in that case. Whether or not the site is under the crosshairs is also irrelevant to the point.

Besides, as I mentioned in my comment, direct links to hubs that contain pirated material and direct links containing suites of tools specifically used for pirating such as DRM removal on ebooks and video players, and bypasses for news organizations and scientific publications are also frequently directly linked.

I think this could be put even more simply:

You get promoted for making your superiors happy, not for making your reports happy.

What actually makes anyone happy is going to vary from organization to organization, from person to person, and from situation to situation. I've known managers whose job was 100% just to keep their subordinates happy, but that happened because keeping those roles filled was one of the company's major challenges.
I use a lulzbot Taz and the toolheads are easy to swap out. I've seen a dremel tool holder for it on thingaverse, so that would take care of the weight and rigidity since it would be on its own mount instead of mounted to the actual extruder.

What do you mean by "drive that kind of load"? Are you talking about the weight, or pulling the dremel through the material to cut it (resistance)? If the latter, it seems that just going slow with the steppers and a high speed on the dremel would eliminate that?

Other people have converted their 3d printers to CNC machines. I'm not sure why this wouldn't be possible with a little effort. It seems cleaner/safer than dealing with chemicals?

Is there anyone who thinks this is a good idea, let alone with this level of investment? It's clearly a bad idea.

What do you mean? It has reasonable column width so you can zoom in and out as necessary, often with a double tap. That is, it leaves it up to the client to adjust as necessary -- in contrast with the typical mobile site, which:

1) Forces a particular size/resolution, locking out zoom capabilities

2) Has a floating header with a constant size relative to your device screen, blotting out the same real estate no matter how much you zoom. And, of course, using the same header pixel height for portrait vs landscape, making the latter practically unusable.

Yes, this site is better than 99% of mobile sites out there.

Edit: Some further comments: It's generally better to have a site that obeys the standards and thus plays nice with any client, than one that locks you into the hip designer's meth-addled decision. This site in particular works well with my extensions like VimFX for clicking links from the keyboard.

In large companies the connection between personal performance and company results is incredibly weak.

At the lower rungs this is because of how little influence there is on the big picture. On the higher rungs this is because everything has been completely de-risked through outsourcing of responsibility, depersonalizing potential blame in case of failure while at the same time allowing full credit basking when things didn't fail.
A dog will totally do it. Or kids.

Seriously, though, was that a generic question, or are you feeling depressed/unmotivated?

> It all feels inconsistent with itself

This is one of the fundamental challenges with typography and one of the things I find most fascinating about it as an art. There is an eternal tension between making the characters similar to each other so that the typeface matches as a whole, while making them distinct enough to be easily read and to give the typeface its character.

People have different preferences here, but I personally like the balance they struck with this logotype.
Then zoom in, which most "mobile optimized" sites prohibit.

They did say "odd" not "wrong" so I'd like to hope the feeling is for slightly less dismissable reasons than an FP fetish. What I would have answered if you asked me years ago would be something like how when you come from another dynamic language you immediately notice the lack of data literal syntax without bringing in your own few-lines reader macro, then there's the need to understand the types of equality predicates, and finally the need to get used to the setf conventions. Once you get used to things though, most of which is just getting used to CL more so than its hash table choices, and discover things like alists or plists as a simpler and syntactically convenient out-of-the-box way of representing the handful of hard-coded key-value pairs which tend to make up a tiny portion of a program, the oddness is replaced by appreciation. So I wonder if the GP thinks along these lines, or some other oddity.
I agree. The semantics even within this set of flowcharts is confusing: blocks start out representing statements but by the time you get to Dependency Injection, they represent anything (library, service, etc.). Also the dotted-line vs solid line doesn't help. With Goto or Exception, the dotted line is the process, not the alternative which is solid. Those need to be inverted because "normal" flow of control from statement to statement is altered and the "exceptional" flow is now active and other statements are ignored. Just waiting for someone to say "we tried this with UML already. please just stop."

Oh my god, that's so horrifying. If you are in an insular community the idea that you want to hide abuse because it makes the group look bad, that's the same thinking that lead to decades of widespread abuse by priests in the catholic church. In america especially we have a blind eye toward the behavior of religious groups. There are other religious groups in america that have these self-reinforcing "the only way to be in the world is with us" behaviors. I'm sure there are also lots of decent people who are Amish too (probably doesn't need to be stated, there are decent people everywhere and in every group).

Blind allegiance to a group leads to endemic corruption, always has, always will.
I was in this very situation, thinking I want more than "just" EE. Applied for a PhD position in a branch where mostly mathematicians work, could not be happier with the decision.

I had the same issue with the link on both safari & firefox, I used the readerview on firefox as a workaround.
I also meant in terms of effect. Yes, you will find things exposed in various media outlets. But if I turn on CNN during a Republican presidency I see people on the edge of rage-quitting life and if I turn on Fox News during a Democratic presidency I see McCarthyism is alive and well. And if I do the opposite I see literal propaganda. I don't think most of their viewers are really looking for truth but are basking in deep, echo-ey pools (or sensory deprivation chambers, if you please) of confirmation bias.

There are far better news outlets, and I agree that press and media need to exist and be free for the purpose proposed above, I would just argue that in the most popular media, that isn't really what's happening for most of their audience, and I personally am far happier not seeking out mainstream news myself because of how sensationalist and biased most of it is. I'll eat my hotel breakfasts and airport snacks somewhere other than in front of the complimentary TV.
I think he's probably pretty close to the actual two year mark at this point. The bulk of the really big, heavy, structural stuff is done (getting it reframed was a big milestone). Still tons to do, obviously, but an increasingly large percentage of the remaining work is stuff that can be done efficiently by one person.

I really have a soft spot for these kind of sites. Often people have pretty interesting and unique content on this kind of websites. I always try to help by keeping things very simple to maintain but just a bit better, like making a PHP include of the menu and then replacing the top part on every page once.
