Once upon a time I was wandering through PARC and I wandered into a closet where a giant Ceder machine (Dorado) was running. It has an un flipping believable 512x512 COLOR display! It was an entire eight foot tall rack and its fans for the ECL logic roared like a hurricane. This deluxe personal computer from Xerox ran as fast as a Decsystem 20 massive time sharing machine that normally hosted 20-40 users.

Unfortunately everybody at PARC believed Butler lampson when he said you could write a personal computer program and if it crashed once per day that's okay you just pressed a button and rebooted it! Everybody took that to heart and wrote buggy unstable software and all the D-machines (wildflower architecture) including Dorado Dolphin Dandelion and Dandetiger crashed once per hour! it seems Butler lampson didn't consider joint probability distributions...

Xerox made okay programming environments but Pilot and Smalltalk and Interlisp were horrible operating systems compared to UNIX v7.

> bad answers aren't wrong answers

If that implies true answers can be bad, I agree: they can upset whoever one is trying to communicate with to the point they shut you out entirely.

History is my source of facts, not me personally. If I am not being unambiguous already, then there is more than one example of the situation I have described.
Turning around 8 bytes is a miniscule cost compared to the cost of having a badly formed index. There really is no way around data not being big endian.
This might sound crazy but I wound up writing my own generator and was quite happy with the result (and use it in prod).
I've found the openapi-generator client in Python to be pretty horrific to use; very un-idiomatic, hard to follow, and poorly documented.

Any other projects that are better? Or just projects that can do the "POPO <> JSON" mapping, ideally with type hints so that I can get code completion in my IDE? I'd be fine to manually wire up the HTTP parts for the SDKs that I write if I had a good schema mapper.

Fwiw, I run an rpi4 4gb as a plex home server over ethernet and it’s been flawless for the two months I’ve had it. I set it up on a lark expecting it to be basically rubbish but turns out that, at least with my media and an LG TV Plex client, it’s never had to transcode a thing. It’s now my only media server. It just sits there in the corner, costs about $5 / month in electricity, faithfully serving up anything I throw at it.

On top of that, it also runs my Pihole and a bunch of other services through Docker.

Bit of a revelation, really.
You don't need to do anything special for this. I don't see the need for a startup to "help" with this. Existing options are already sufficient. It would take a financial professional less than a day to write up a comprehensive guide to such a strategy.

E.g. if you want to lose $5,000 just buy a bunch of options that are way out of the money, that have a perhaps 1% chance of paying off.

99% of the time you lose $5,000, which is what you wanted.

1% of the time you win $500,000, which is a nice problem to have. That payoff will probably dwarf the financial penalty of whatever discontinuity you were trying to work around.
Ah interesting/makes sense - thanks for the explanation!
Sure, but that wouldn't disprove the notion that alcohol might have some benefit.

There is evidence that ethanol enhances the liver's ability to properly manage its fat stores, and thus might be protective against steatosis [1]. But this is controversial, and it seems that experts are largely unwilling to endorse alcohol consumption in the presence of any liver problems [2].

Health Gold HTTP://djsupplement.com/health-gold-cbd-oil/
Health Gold CBD Oil is made of a solitary principle part – Hemp oil. There are, obviously, opposite side fixings that break up the hemp seed remove and intensify its belongings, however all you have to know is that Hemp is the principle segment. We should talk about it (and its varieties) in further detail.Hemp is essentially a sub-types of Cannabis Sativa. It's particularly developed in the mechanical circle for its astoundingly recuperating properties. An intriguing reality about Hemp is that it becomes unfathomably quick, particularly in the locales of the Northern side of the equator. Individuals utilized it a great many years prior to make hemp fiber, albeit these days its used to make a wide cluster of business based things, for example, paper, paint, protection, materials, attire, fuel, and other.Hemp ought not be mistaken for Cannabis, despite the fact that they do originate from a similar source – Cannabis Sativa. Both Hemp and Cannabis contain psychoactive THC, albeit numerous individuals who refine Hemp further dispose of it from the blend.We're essentially intrigued by modern hemp which is utilized for therapeutic purposes. The facts demonstrate that this type of refined hemp was known to individuals even hundreds of years prior, it of late amassed a significant notoriety, giving it the prime spot in the realm of elective medication.

> Which is what? Scala? Haskell? OCaml? F#? Typed Racket? Idris?

We have one 100k loc project in Clojure and one 500k in OCaml and I would choose OCaml over Clojure any time any day. I really like that things don't brake accidentally when somebody changes code, and the amount of tests you need to write are orders of magnitude smaller.

> OCaml still struggling to get any recognition in the industry

So does Clojure. Both are extremely niche below the radar languages, so it's not a dichotomy really.

There is a dichotomy of choosing OCaml or Java/C#, but Clojure would be on OCaml's side of things here.

Today, if I'd need jvm, I'll simply take modern Java.

> despite all attempts from a few good players

The few players we have (JS, Facebook, LexFi, Citrix, unis) are doing well enough producing enormous amount of high quality libraries. At least in the domains of system programming OCaml is tightly packed with all sorts of batteries.
VSCode has a plug-in for Vim keybindings. Does not emulate Vim entirely but good enough to feel at home. Gives you best of both worlds: IDE-like features of VSCode and ergonomic manipulation of code of Vim.

> Gotta love organic db schemas with long history...

I much more love the fact that I always have the option to start with a blank file and an empty db schema. I love the fact that decades of ignoring "social" advice about doing it this or that way because "everybody" does that, and just looking at the docs I could find/understand and making a decision, programming gets more fun and effective every year for me. I love that there is still development to be had outside of corporations and more or less unfettered by their regression.

I'm curious if it the benefit comes from starting late compared to your environment or starting late in an absolute sense. The whole of China has just one timezone, so it could be a good place to look at.
Actual quote from the article for context:

> Modeless: Computer scientists when writing code typically worked in different modes; you might have an insert mode, a delete mode, or a replace mode. You would first select the mode, then select the point on the screen at which the action was to occur, then perform the action. Tesler, in user experiments, proved that modes were confusing for nonscientific users and championed the “modeless” interface.

For non-technical users, sure modeless editing may be better. But for computer scientists, modeful editing may be better. The article mentions modeless editing to be better for no scientific users only, not necessarily for everyone.

Think harder.

I worked on a framework in the nineties and did such things as render letters to pixels. Here are some of the optimisations we did then, compared to now:

We used much lower output resolution.

We used integer math instead of floating point, reducing legibility. How paragraphs were wrapped depended on whether we rendered it on this monitor or that, or printed it.

We used prescaled fonts instead of freely scalable fonts for the most important sizes, and font formats that were designed for quick scaling rather than high-quality results. When users bought a new, better monitor they could get worse text appearance, because no longer was there a hand-optimised prescaled font for their most-used font size.

We used fonts with small repertoires. No emoji, often not even € or —, and many users had to make up their minds whether they wanted the ability to type ö or ø long before they started writing.

Those optimisations (and the others ­— that list is far from complete) cost a lot of time for the people who spent time writing code or manually scaling fonts, and led to worse results for the users.

I think you're the kind of person who wouldn't dream of actually using anything other than antialiased text with freely scalable fonts and subpixel interletter space. You just complain that today's frameworks don't provide the old fast code ­that you wouldn't use and think develpers are somehow to blame for not wanting to write that code.
You're right. The mocap data for the actor who played Thanos in Avengers had to be post processed by artist by hand since the motion of a regular man doesn't correspond to the motion of a larger and heavier Titan. I guess in a few years all that could be automated with ML.
Funny, just yesterday I wrote the yaml to describe our API according to this spec. The lure of writing the spec once and getting 18 different auto-generated client SDKs is too great to pass up, although I haven't tried any of them out yet. This course on Linkedin Learning was pretty good. I watch them at 2x speed... you get used to it, and it saves time. I go back and re-watch the sections I really care about as needed.

Hey.

For the past 2 years, I have been working on LearnObit ( https://learnobit.com): a new and rapid way to learn anything.

When I first started programming, I used Anki and the old tried-and-tested Spaced Repetition algorithm. This was great for word-pairing (such as when you learn French or another language), but didn't suit for more complex, general topics like Mathematics or Physics. Because of that, Spaced Repetition has always been widely over-looked despite its proven effectiveness in learning-retention.

I wanted to unlock this effectiveness for a wider audience by building LearnObit, a note-taking tool which lets you organize and structure complicated/layered information then manage this via Spaced Repetition as easily as you use flash cards today.

I'll be here anytime if you have any questions for me. Thanks for your time.
This is just bigotry by another name. Once someone is a legal, competent adult, it's not really anyone else's place to tell them who they should or should not find happiness with, provided the relationship is entirely consensual and non-coercive.

We should not tolerate bigotry or label consensual adult relationships "generally accepted" or "not socially acceptable". That's the kind of nonsense we need to leave in the past where it belongs.
I tried to do that, but maybe the message didn't go through.

Some of the application IDs are made up using hexadecimal (such as Fossil), and some using ASCII (everything else listed in the magic.txt file in the SQLite repository). I have used base thirty-six; I later saw RADIX-50 mentioned, which would be another way.
Perfluorooctanoic Acid
The German CO2 footprint for electricity production decreased quite a bit in recent years, in 2019 46% of all electricity was produced by renewables. The progress is compensated by the traffic sector increasing fuel consumption at the same time.

France has the problem, that they are not able to build enough new reactors (cost, construction time) to replace the aging operating reactors. So ramping up renewables is the logical conclusion and besides having quite a lot of hydro power already installed, France has great potential of wind (very windy coasts at 3 sides of the country) and solar (sunny south).
It depends on both the target language (in that the quality of what's generated is variable, and the benefit it gains you is also variable based on how easy it is to get something usable in that language), and how well they defined the API using the spec. I've had a few times where the spec had slight inconsistencies and bugs that made working through and debugging the generated output take as long or longer than it would take to implement a client from scratch for the 20% of the API I actually need.

> “I really didn’t believe in it,” he said. “I thought cursor keys were much better. We literally took people off the streets who had never seen a computer. In three or four minutes they were happily editing away using cursor keys. At that point I was going to show them the mouse and prove that they could select text faster than with the cursor keys. Then I was going to show that they didn’t like it.

“It backfired.

Just because he thought a way was the way, Mr Tesler was willing to correct himself of his presuppositions based on real world testing.
But it doesn't have to be.
Echoing a lot of other comments here. I don't get why DigitalOcean exists. I would never use them over AWS, GCP, or Azure. They can't beat anyone on cost or functionality. I'm not convinced on simplicity. The other platforms aren't that difficult to use and for some you have to deal with regardless. For example, if you want to use Google Maps, then you need to use GCP to get access to the API. Since you're already in there, it's not much further to setup a VPS.
The devil is in the details. (When isn't it?)

For example, regarding health insurance subsidies (mentioned in the article), deductible IRA contributions must be added back when calculating your income. As are other sources of income. E.g. tax-exempt municipal bond income doesn't count for Federal taxes but it does count for income limits for the health care subsidy.

Offhand, I'm not familiar with income limits for an HSA. It's quite likely that allowed income sources and deductions vary for these various programs.

the limit to 16 threads under windows was added in a commit named "refactor imports".

If somebody in the future tries to find out why the threads are limited to 16 under windows, they will eventually end up at that commit and if the committer isn't around any more (or doesn't remember), nobody will ever know the reasoning.

For projects that have even the slightest chance of staying around, be mindful about your commit messages and explain why you are doing something, not what you are doing - that's what the code itself is for.

--help is literally explaining how to interface as a user.

You are simply asking not to be any more complicated than you have to be after the fact of design trade-offs, which I think no one opposes.

Awk, grep, understanding regex, piping and much more an is not very friendly, but still extremely powerful and I have yet to find a sufficiently fast alternative with easier UI in however many decades it's existed.

There are alternatives with better UI that can do the job, but much slower, both in setup and execution.

This leads me to believe that the steep learning curve for the interface is intrinsically linked with the capabilities. I would honestly like to be proven wrong.

You can draw a parallell to programming, it's all about telling machines what to do. There have been more attempts than I could even list of trying to make natural language programming languages, GUI code generators, etc, and yet here we are choosing Rust (or relevant tool for your task).

I applaud every iteration improving usability without compromising performance in development or execution, but like your joke concession in your followup, there's no joke in the world you have to explain, assuming the recipient understands the context. But arguing from that point makes the original quote meaningless, does it not?

I would paraphrase that as: "Don't be any more complicated than you have to for the task", which is a truism I never aimed to dispute.

I feel I should point out that "a very windy day" is a big understatement. February 10, 2020 was the day when storm Sabine arrived in northern Europe. In Germany, all medium and long distance trains stopped (electric trains, btw), and plenty of people stayed inside. Lots of closed schools, too.

I don't necessarily disagree with the article's central points. But picking up the one outlier in which there's ridiculous amounts of wind and entire countries are working at half capacity seems naive at best.
