That is only if you try to program Clojure as if you were programming JS/Python/Ruby. In this case I can understand you may think this is funky, strange but otherwise useless language.

The trick with any Lisp is to "get it". Once you do there is no comparison between Lisps and any non-Lisp language.

Let's compare it in some useful way. If I was assembly developer for my entire life, "getting" C++ would be comparable to getting Lisp for any JS/Python/Ruby developer.

From my point of view JS/Python/Ruby is just a reiteration, variation on roughly similar, impaired subset of features that I can roll off in Lisp on my leisure. By definition, any language feature can be written in Lisp (well... more in Common Lisp than in Clojure which is hindered by its integration with Java environment) which is something that is really hard to grasp until you start rolling off your own language for any problem you try to solve (and one reason Lisp programmers are so much hated by other programmers).
Mossad officer describes covert global battle to obtain ventilators at all costs
We have…different interpretations of Annus mirabilis, the year of wonders, that is the name of this period in which calculus, law of gravitation, the color spectrum, these discoveries changed the world forever. and Let's all become Isaac Newton this month.
I'm a full stack dev with 16 years of experience. I've applied to various roles at Thorn nearly 30 times over the last 6 months. Never even got a rejection. I realize it's a small team and there are a lot of applicants, but I don't understand why I never hear back from you. Maybe my resumee is getting caught in spam filters or been blocked because I applied so many times?

At any rate, I like your mission and wish you the best!
I'm just saying I don't like the pressure of having to compare myself to Issac Newton.

Also everything could always be worse, so it's a mostly useless argument.
I read this in a magazine years ago, super helpful. I learned the most when I sat down and worked though it by hand. In practice, I've never needed D, PI has been enough to do the job.
FWIW, the issue you linked to was closed in favor of https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/3369.

I know little about web services orchestration, but I feel that a lot of algorithms from control theory / signal processing / optimization / continuous math / etc will apply to software contexts if one “squints right”. And such solutions will often end up being more robust and better behaved (and arguably more intuitive) — an ounce of math often saves a thousand lines of clumsy code. As Peter Naur argued, writing software is primarily about building a functional theory of the domain.

I don't think one has to be religious to prefer being able to have children to immortality. FYI.
Zoom has gone from being a boring piece of enterprise software to being central in lots of engineers lives and unfortunately they were in the "grow quickly and apologise later" section of their development cycle when they suddenly were big and were apologizing.

They prioritzed ease of use on the engineering side, and corporate sales on the business side. They never planned ot be mission critical, but don't think for a second that ever stopped any of their sales team.

The backlash is well deserved, entirely inevitable, and incredibly unlikely to make any difference.
I have been mostly remote for the last 2 years and couldn't agree more. I would emphasize the point in the first paragraph - not only is it harder to find a remote job when just starting out, but you would also be doing yourself a disservice by missing out on a lot of education that is harder to come by working remotely.

This isn't technical education (which is available in spades online) but business process education. Who made the decision to implement feature X instead of Y? what were the tradeoffs? what part of that decision was because of personality and not because of merit? Those are the things easier to pick up on in person. And, in my opinion, learning how to successfully navigate business process discussions is what separates mid-level employees from senior level ones (assuming technical competence), and separate "so-so" managers from great ones.
Or...if you still have to work, then find a way to help a furloughed person be Newton for a month. Maybe a spouse or your kids. Maybe a stranger (from six feet away). Doesn't matter.

Top Six Tips on How to Work from Home Effectively
I wish I had time for any of that. I keep reading ideas for how to deal with the boredom of self-isolation, but nobody writes about the stress. My wife and I have to homeschool two kids while also doing our own jobs from home. We're lucky of course that we have jobs, and we can do them from home, and we have two awesome and healthy kids. But homeschooling while we work really is a bit much.
> Web components do this with the `:host` selector that styles the component from within its shadow root. The styles applied with the `:host` selector can be overridden by the outside styles, without the component needing to weaken encapsulation by allowing styling from the outside via JS properties.

I don't see how the React approach of accepting styles as JS props is any weaker in terms of encapsulation compared to your example above. If anything, it offers the opportunity for stronger encapsulation because it supports limiting/transforming the styling props we accept through those JS props, and even allows us to define a styling API for our component that's completely independent of CSS semantics, enabling components APIs that can span multiple platforms with independent implementations.
In an alternate reality, Newton did five pull-ups instead of inventing calculus.
That's why you should relocate to a state with a one-party-consent wiretapping law. New York happens to be one of those.
Honestly? Fuck this. Millions of people are going to die. It's very likely some of your friends and family will be in that number. It's okay to mourn. It's expected that we will all mourn. The world we get out of this is going to be different and it's going to be a worse one for almost everyone.

You don't need to write King Lear or invent gravity. Just surviving will be a miracle enough.

Those how to install X on a VPS articles are requested by active customers, occasionally written by customers, and consumed far more often than you think by customers. DigitalOcean responded to Linode Library (as it was then called) when building that out, and having been somewhat involved in the development of Linode Library, I can assure you that neither SEO nor PageRank was near the top of the rationale list. Maybe tenth on the list as a nice bonus.

The people who worked on Linode Library in the beginning were engineers, not social media people nor content marketers. The person who wrote its first CMS is a former nuclear submariner and Perl guy with like nine followers on Twitter. I’m sure you imagine a huge meat grinder spam operation paying by the word, but basically one engineer thanklessly wrote more than half of it in the beginning and went on to a distinguished career at 10gen/Mongo, not sitting on Mechanical Turk. I’d bet DO’s operation is identical and exists for the same reasons, and they’re just as proud of it as I am my extremely limited contributions to an offering that objectively improves the operations discipline.

It’s annoying to watch valuable work that expands the profession get dunked on and called spam by a snide comment for absolutely no reason.

There’s no reason to be so cynical about things in a hot take, particularly when it was an irrelevant shot in context. Not everyone is blessed with innate knowledge nor a gift for studying man pages, and those docs are useful checklists to make sure I didn’t forget anything with common software like ntpd to this day in my own, principal level, career. People learn Unix operations by buying a Linode. For a $10/month VPS you also get a bunch of tested, free guides that work on them and teach you how to do things. They’re not paywalled to customers and show up in your Google results. I know. The abject horror is almost unbearable.

That's my default reaction too. And I am glad that I don't have a smartphone, or use my cellphone much.

But still, I get the argument that quarantines and contact tracing are essential now. I may not be readily traceable, but I accept that I may be challenged when I go out. Just as I'd be stopped for speeding, reckless driving, broken lights, etc. And so I don't go out without a valid reason.
No sorry this is wrong.

It was pure incompetence that led to the slow rollout.
Seriously. They made a great product that just works in a space where most competitors (BlueJeans, Google Hangouts, Skype, FaceTime) just have crazy drawbacks. Give them a chance to make things right ffs.
Remote teaching using Wacom tablet and Inkscape
Because of the virus, I wanted to share my solution for remote collaboration and teaching: https://github.com/amkhlv/mathpump3

Professor uses Wacom and Inkscape to draw a picture, which is incrementally transmitted to students' computers. Students, those who have Wacom, may interact. Or just watch. Transmission happens every time the svg file is saved. Transmission requires a RabbitMQ server, which can be easily set up. Basically, a class needs one person who knows Linux, to set up the server.

It is intended for scientific collaboration or teaching in small groups of people. I am now using it for teaching my QFT class, although it only has 5 students. In principle, it should scale, but I have not tried it for large groups...

And that comment sounds like you have empathy surgically removed.

Any measure has positive and negative side. And some are positive for society but bad for individuals.

Education, not regulation, should be tried. Introduce medicine, nutrition and friends in the primary school, inspire people to take care on their bodies and do not promote health outsorcing.
Good advice to those of us who have the means to stay afloat, but it's not going to be just April the way things are going now.

Unless a working prophylaxis is found/confirmed May and June will be canceled too. That's what's unnerving about this whole situation: nobody knows what the endgame is. Say we're at the end of April. Then what? Open stuff back up? Not going to happen if opening it back up could realistically mean another 100K deaths before we shut everything back down.

So let's get those drug studies going in earnest, and lets rewrite the rules for what's "acceptable" in terms of regulation and rigor when faced with a potential death toll of this magnitude. I'm sure we can do more than a couple of studies at the same time, and in a shorter timeframe to preliminary results than "8 weeks" or "18 months".
I already found a new transcendental number in my research and it has only been three weeks.
...and do all that while spending the majority of your time on alchemy and occult christian mysticism. Then when you emerge from isolation transformed, move to a big city and execute a lot of men.

In 2010, there were about 62k ventilators in American hospitals, more than any other developed nation at the time: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21149215

If you take into account non-'full time' ventilators (not sure what these are but apparently they exist), the US has 99k.

I move a lot. My posture in general is terrible. I'm slouched in the corner of a couch right now, with my laptop on a half-lap, and when I worked in an office I would usually drape myself over the back of a high-backed chair and kneel on it. However, I don't stay in any one position for longer than about 15 minutes - after that I stand up, or shift to a different position, or swivel the chair around, or go lie down. Never had back pain or other joint problems other than tendonitis in my fingers. I've found that moving around and standing up every 15 minutes or so outweighs all the other shitty stuff I do to my body. Humans weren't made to sit still.
I don't know about herpes, but I vaguely recall that people have been prosecuted for spreading HIV. Maybe even convicted, but I don't recall.
I agree about specifying what's meant by "popularity".

Thing is I'm actually interested in the complete opposite of what you say you're interested in.

Couldn't care less about paid programmer time and the job market.

What do people use when they aren't getting paid by someone else to program? What do they write about? What would they like/want to use? Who's got the greatest grass-roots/continuing community not focused around apps, corporations and business sponsorship?

This is a well explained and concise guide on theory and implementation behind it.

But like many things, there's no replacement for getting your hands on a real life system and gaining real life intuition.

The best way to learn this? Get/make a test bench with safe-ish motor and encoder system. Play with values and measure at the performance in the system. Increasing the P value gains, makes the system "stiffer" but at the expense of stability. Put your hand on the flywheel and "fight it" safely. You can feel the I (Integral) value winding up against your steady state errors. It's quite magical.

As you start to chase the highest performance for your system, you start to think about alternative control strategies. Eventually you will dream up the concept of feedforward control loop. Try to automate the the picking of PID values, then you start to learn about Ziegler–Nichols tuning method. Gain Scheduling. Non Linear Control theory. It never stops.

(If you do any of this, please make sure the motor/flywheel won't kill you if it goes unstable, and please wire a E-stop that's easy to access when it's unstable)
What icebraining said :-)

It's fun because I like controlling the real world through software, especially making things move. I have my fingers in three motion control projects of various levels of complexity as we speak.
There was a post last year [1] pondering about the tiobe methodology of "x programming" in the context of Julia, since the most common way to search for it is "julia language" instead. Adding that option makes both Julia and Typescript rise apparently.

Coefficient | Sr. Backend Engineer | Remote From India/North America | Remote Only | coefficient.io

Who we are
Coefficient is a VC-backed SaaS startup in the SF Bay Area. We are still in stealth and just raised a large seed round. The founders are serial entrepreneurs whose last startup, Shopular, was backed by Y Combinator and Sequoia and acquired by Rakuten Ebates.

What we do
Coefficient is a self-service data warehouse for business teams. Today's data tools and BI stacks were designed for data specialists and data engineers. However, as more companies and business functions embrace data-driven cultures, they are held back by the inherit complexity of existing data analytics tools, as well as the technical expertise required to set up, maintain, and operate full BI stacks. Coefficient's mission is to unlock organizations' latent data productivity, by enabling users to model, re-shape, and build reports using data from any data source—all within an intuitive, no-code interface.

Who you are
We are looking for a lead backend engineer to help us shape and deliver our vision. You will work alongside the founders to define product, design core backend architecture, and develop resilient, scalable systems from the ground up. You have 7+ years of experience designing and building complex backend systems You have extensive Python experience. More details: https://angel.co/company/coefficient-io/jobs

How and why to properly write copyright statements in your code
Poetry is good, but you should be aware that people with legacy versions of pip (I think before 19, see PEP 517) won't be able to pip install from your repository directly. That means anyone using pip installed with their package manager (up to the lastest version of Debian/Ubuntu in fact, which only provide v18). This doesn't affect installs from PyPI of course. So either you just accept this, or you also maintain a setup.py file as well. That's fine, but Poetry doesn't automatically bump version numbers in setup.py (as far as I know) so you need to do a couple of extra steps when you build.

On the other hand, setting up a deploy key to PyPI and then using poetry build, poetry publish is very easy compared to using twine which I found often did daft things like upload mixed versions to PyPI unless the build directory was clean. Poetry seems to handle that a lot better.
>Just surviving will be a miracle enough.

I get the tone you're trying to convey, but a 98% event isn't a miracle.
I'm not excusing the poor execution on the part of the US government--it's been awful. But it seems to me that the core problem has been leadership not taking the advice of scientists rather than whether the CDC exists or not.

If you are going to run 'what if' scenarios it's worth asking what if somebody like Mario Cuomo had been in the White House in early January? (Or any of several other US governors for that matter.)
