Maybe it's because you always immediately change the subject from the one other people posted, so you have no right to whine when somebody does it to you.

I'm still waiting for you to reply to the questions I asked in the thread that you kept trying to change the subject away from. When I wouldn't let you do that, and kept bringing you back on topic, you ran away because you'd painted yourself into a corner with glaring contradictions in the things you said, and there was no way you could resolve the contradictions except by admitting you didn't really mean what you said.
No, sorry. Wasting too much time is BS.

Use a good name and be done with it. You're naming a variable, not the title of your Magnum Opus.

Edit: I think people are reading too much into the initial dismissiveness and not going past the 1st line.

More important than picking the perfect name:

- Being consistent with the naming (you called it a 'bolt' keep calling it a 'bolt' for the same type of object and for its life through the code path. If bolt is not a great name you can change later.

- Being easy to remember and type. There's no point with TurningWheelThatGoesSqueak and having a TurningWheelThatGoesSquak and a TurningWheelThatGoesSquewk this will only make the developers go crazy. Simplify.

And yes bikeshedding is bad. I just find it too ironic that parent's username reminds me of the place that took bikeshedding to the extremes.
I think it is great that they are working on the default styles. Browser stylesheets feel almost as if they were frozen in time to the point where you realistically have to overwrite them.

My hope would be that one day the default styles are so good that it is an option again to not overwrite them.

Unusually tricky right now. Plus the number of people who can validate authenticity is quite limited and easily identifiable. A Van Gogh would be hard to forge but not that hard. There's recipes for paint/pigment manufacture going back centuries.
Some people will just find it as an excuse to go all over it the naming issue. Worse than the "80 columns is the limit" people, because after all 80 columns is 80 columns. But there's no "ideal name" for some people.

Speaking as an infectious disease epidemiologist - epidemiology is a broad field and includes people from many different backgrounds. The type of epidemiology I do (dynamic modeling of epidemics) leans more towards people with backgrounds in statistics, physics, math, and engineering when compared to the more "traditional" types epidemiology (if there even is such a thing anymore).

IMO it is too impersonal (even rude as a forceful "attention here") and even meaningless (where Vulcan has more desirable connotations: space exploration, rationality, prosperity, unity). Though I'm not sure how widespread the cocept is.
RTFM is necessary because asking a question is cheaper than answering it. People ask a lot of questions they could trivially answer themselves, at the detriment of the community.

Ten Advanced AWS S3 Questions for an Interview – With Answers
You don't mean anything you say, and nothing you say is consistent or makes any sense, so your arguments are insincere pointless distractions, and a waste of everyone's time, including your own. You're not fooling anyone. We're all onto you.

How much are you being paid for this?

You must not have a very good personal family life or even pets or a garden or video games, if you spend so much of your time writing this kind of meaningless sealioning bullshit that nobody reads or takes seriously, that it takes you away from those things that are so much more important in life.

I'd ask for a raise if I were you, but when they see how badly your trolling has been received and blacklisted, they're not going to want to pay you more, they're going to fire you.
What is a good name?

Sometimes the failure at finding a good name (and taking 30 minutes to name your variable) means your abstraction is not good and/or your variable encloses multiple concepts.

Of course, a short-spanned internal-only variable used just once or twice doesn't deserve a 30-minutes debate; OTOH a public variable which could be externally exposed by a class could require a bit of thinking.

Git branching is not intuitive, because they are not branches but pointers/labels. When you talk about the master branch, you actually talk about the master pointer.

The other VCSes have an intuitive concept of branches, because they are in fact branches.

I liked Mercurial more than Git, but when BitBucked dropped Mercurial I also switched to Git.

Personally I really like it. It's hard to define though.

Somewhat like an on the road travel story with a rag tag team of misfits who join together. I guess a _tiny_ bit like Guardians of the Galaxy rag tag team, on the backdrop of a StarTrek setting lead by a Shakespearean actor with many TNG faves cropping up during the adventure.

Nice to read this. I was trying to collaborate on a single project that used Mercurial, and man as a git user I could not understand the branching model.. had the hardest time. I ended up working from a local git repo, doing my work there, and then very carefully pushing the commits one at a time at the very end. If I made a mistake, I basically re-cloned the Hg repo because apparently editing history is a no-no. I found the experience very frustrating.

Sibling comment to mine:

> Git branching is not intuitive, because they are not branches but pointers/labels.

Funny, that's exactly why I DO find git branches more intuitive.
Haven't heard about that book before, thanks for the recommendation. I'm a bit hesitant to read a book to confirm if birds are scared off bombs and how long time it'll take for them to come back after setting off artillery and other explosions, could you share the section from the book where it's confirmed that birds didn't care about this and stayed where they were?

The description of the book says "At the most basic level, animals and birds provided interest to fill the blank hours in the trenches and billets" which makes sense. When nothing is happening, the birds will come back after a while. But seconds after fighting? Not so sure about that. My experience with birds are that if you make the slightest movement and they see you, they will be gone for a while.
I like it a lot. It's different, yet familiar.
There's a lot less Picard and a lot more young hot peoples' interpersonal drama than I'd like. It also commits STD's cardinal sin of throwing away the basic concept of Star Trek, that being that society as a whole can become better than we are now, that the human condition can be meaningfully improved.

However, the action and characters are good. You just have to tell yourself that it's an alternate timeline where instead of making humans better, first contact turned them all into assholes.

Don't anyone bother replying to this obvious sealioning troll technique. He has no intention of carrying out any kind of sincere argument, and his politeness is totally fake: he has no respect for anyone he's arguing with, he's just trying to waste everyone's time.

Of course he saw it, but he didn't like what he saw, so now he's pretending to have missed it on purpose, so repeating the facts he's ignoring won't make one bit of difference, and is just the two steps backwards he wants.

Notice how he always tries to repeat this same pattern in so many other postings, and don't reply to any of his attempts at trolling, except to explicitly point out what he's doing. And remember to flag him every time he does it, please!

Yes you do, if using the mentioned example

Combining a state machine with actor model has been a work wonder for me. I have to agree with you on locality in pure state machine, but if a state machine is defined as an Actor you get locality by definition. Its more of a deterministic abstract modelling, testing and execution

I'm not sure it's a foregone conclusion that variolation would work for covid-19, is it? There are theories that doctors have had more extreme cases due to infection dose, but I could see nothing approaching a dose vs. severity graph in this article.

It'd be worth it to try on a small scale with healthy volunteers, but it seems disingenuous to promote this strategy as a sure bet. What works for Smallpox might not for covid..
It's darker and has one big story arc (like Discovery S2) but feels a lot more "Star Trek" than Discovery does. Crucially it doesn't play fast and loose with cannon. There's also a lot of nice touches like cast from TNG and others reprising their roles.

I'm not going to comment on the plot itself because that would be unfair to anyone who hasn't finished watching it yet.

Overall, if you're a Trekkie then I do recommend it.

Have not thought about it like that but very true!
You're naming a variable, not the title of your Magnum Opus.

You're naming a variable, and that name is probably the most important documentation about that specific point in the code. A lot of the time a useful name will be quite obvious, so you should use one. If you see code that has variable names like a, i, myVar, value, etc then it's usually a sign the developer didn't think very hard about the code that they were writing. Using a name that gives some context to the data the variable should hold is massively useful to the next developer to work on the code (which is usually you, so you'll be thankful you did).
yeah so it just does 80-90 fps? I'm not talking about "any difference", I'm talking games right now that require a high end cpu, since everyone upward in the thread was claiming gamers need top end cpu, and I can't think of a game that stutters with a mid range one.

also, the fps reduction seems more in line with the low end intels having less pci lanes, and not the game being cpu capped.
Elements of Clojure is an excellent book that goes through what a good name is and what it should represent. Don't be put off by the "Clojure" in the title, the book is really not about Clojure but about programming, using Clojure for its samples.

You can read a sample chapter online, which is the chapter about naming. Highly recommended! https://leanpub.com/elementsofclojure/read_sample

Any way to read this without paywall?
Hi Sid, if you are curious about how it works internally, you can read some of the old docs from Noms here (Dolt uses a fork of Noms as its internal storage layer).

https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/blob/master/doc/intro.md

To answer your question, it is pretty easy to make Noms (or Dolt) into a CRDT by defining a merge function that is deterministic.

We experimented with this in Noms but the result wasn't that satisfying and we didn't take it any further:

Any extreme of naming is bad. Spent zero time thinking about naming and you end up with a codebase where the same thing is called differently depending on how the person felt that day. Or core data structures are called "node", "element" or "link", words that are already overloaded and should be avoided.

On the other extreme, thinking too far about naming leads into bikeshedding and no work getting done.

So as with many other things, balance is the thing that gets you the furthest.
How to Build an Exchange (2017)
Yes and no, I'm guessing most of us here at some point have inherited a codebase that wasn't intended to live longer than a few years or serve 1000s users but nonetheless has. I'm not saying everything needs to be overengineered to be FAANG scale but don't go too far the otherway either, think of the person who might inherit the codebase.

I don't think that's fair. Star Trek has always had a subculture of "assholes" it's just they were exactly that, a subculture.

In Star Wars you had opulent planets with cities and a strong economy and you also had desert planets with pirates and shanty towns. And in Firefly you had the inner planets who were rich and well educated but also the outer planets with cowboys and call girls. Star Trek has always followed a similar narrative where there was a subculture. The difference with Star Trek is that subculture was less visible -- in part due to the evolution of the human spirit (as you mentioned) -- but it was still there.

With Picard, [WARNING very minor spoiler follows], the story has to spend more time mixing around that subculture because the point of series is that this is Picard's mission rather than Starfleet's.
Did you ever get the low temp vantablack working as expected? I’m guessing oxygen is passivating the aluminum surface somewhere in the process, and the paper doesn’t document how careful they were. I’d personally want to do this under a nitrogen atmosphere, but I’ve never sonicated under a controlled atmosphere.

I’d bet the reason you can sort of get aluminum to blacken over the heated beaker has something to do either with the fact that the beaker is effectively positive pressure and pushing out everything but water vapor, or that the condensed watervapor on the surface of the aluminum is consistently oxygen free.

I find the former somewhat less believable than the latter, but it’s been a while since I’ve worked on things like this.

I haven't seen it and don't have any interest in seeing it based on what I've been hearing from friends.

Rich and Mike of Red Letter Media (the "70-minute Phantom Menace review" folks) are big Star Trek fans (in case you've never watched any of their stuff--Mike mentions Star Trek in so many reviews), and they haven't been liking it, to say the least. It's entertaining to watch them torture themselves from watching the show and recounting it.

Thank you. It's much simpler and easier for small startups. We're trying to build a basic product management flow, not just the roadmap tool, but also getting customer and team feedback, asynchronous voting, goals and metrics, i.e. everything that helps you make plans for the future.

Something that we did since the beginning is use the rolling quarter approach instead of using now/later/future. You always see the current roadmap as the first one.
People who got slapped on their fingers by Nuns for doing that? (Because it's too lazy and you don't have your fingers raised to the Lord, or because that's "the Protestant" way etc.)

I don't think there's a literal "canonical" position, but if you look at old art, the folded, non-interlaced position is definitely more common, with Dürer's depiction being already pretty late to the party.

To add Abrahamic confusion to it all, I think there's also some Rabbinical argument against it (or was it qabbalistic?).

Anyways, we're all wearing masks now anyway, so the appropriate gestures would be the Kuji-kiri.

Difference with PCB is that it is normally one off job. If you are building a one off application or a script, clean code is not very important.

If you are building a system that will be used for years and needs to be extensible than it makes much more sense. Just like it would make sense if you got your PCB back and needed to change features or add new ones.

> One major change I would make from public money is publishing of results good or bad. There's this competition to get into top tier journals (which I don't think is bad or you can get rid of), but this is done at the cost of dumping good science just because it wasn't good enough for a top tier. Using impact as a metric is good but not great.

> The mark of a good scientist is their work and their passion, not where they publish.

You are overlooking an invisible but equally important mark of a good scientist: a scientist’s impression on peers aka reputation, which usually comes down to two types: prestigious publication (in a prestigious journal or with a prestigious co-author) or having a good number of citations. The first kind of reputation is bequeathed almost immediately, the second kind of reputation is deferred — it can only be gained after the passage of time (years).

If a scientist is known to have co-authored a paper that peers later on characterize as a seminal contribution to the field, peers are much more likely to pay attention to future papers from that scientist. The converse is true.

The number of published papers, whether in prestigious journals or otherwise, far exceeds the number of people with free time and relevant qualifications to assess them.

At the end of the day, human attention is a scarce resource, which is why it is the metric those aspiring to be regarded as “good scientists” in their field optimize for. Taken together, a scientist’s publication history is used as a proxy for authority in a field, which in turn is used to filter which papers to read or send to the trash can.
