Why does cheap lodging need to be subsidied by VCs? I didn't realize OYO was such a big company, but I've booked some rooms through them and it seems like it's just another booking source like booking.com or tripadvisor. The hotels had different names in person than on OYO and the only OYO thing about them was their shampoo bottles.
Git got massively popular, largely because Linus Torwarlds made it and started to use it for Linux. The mercurial was competitor, but was commercial and did not had such popular person and popular project behind. That does not mean problem did not happened, that means that when enough people have to use it (due to Linux) then you can start network.

Minecrafts ability to overcome the paralysis due to there being sufficient social pressure to overcome it so that you join friends and there being basically universal adult approval of the game does not mean the paralysis does not happen for many people. It is also sufficiently youtuber friendly, meaning you can do things even non-players find fun to watch on youtube. These things help to overcome paralysis which absolutely happens, especially when they are attempting to play alone and did not learned from youtube videos wtf they should do with it.

The wave could not possibly have "there will be fun with friends" nor "you wanna be like the other kids" attraction Minecraft had to overcome the same issue.
wow this one looks more promising.
Well, why though ? Julia has plenty of numerical libraries going for it, and all of them can be used in a differentiable manner (see, Neural ODE etc.). While Julia was built by a mix of people doing Numerical Linear Algebra and PLs (MIT, UCSD..), Swift seems to be entirely the output of the latter group.

I very much agree about the last part. That is where the real catastrophe will likely happen, if there is no cure or vaccine found soon.

But there is little that can realistically be done about it.
> I might be wrong but for C++ for example every C++ fan seems to happy about every new release (at least happy with new features, not lack of desired new features).

Coroutines were quite co_ntentious.

Maybe the difference is that very few C++ developers live on the bleeding edge. I don't use anything unless it's available from the default packages on an LTS release. So, I won't be using C++17 until I update to Ubuntu 20.04 later this year. And compared to the older developers in my lab, I'm an early adopter.

By the time new features reach the average C++ programmer, they're just how things are. The pain and the fighting of the standardization process is just distant memory that happened to somebody else.

Nuviante Hair Growth
Lamentably, Nuviante never really connections to these examinations or depicts how they functioned. It doesn't guarantee what number of members occurred in the preliminaries, nor does it clarify who played out the preliminaries. Set forth plainly, it appears to be impossible that the Nuviante preliminaries at any point really occurred. There's positively no logical proof we could discover online that bolsters the cases made by Nuviante. It's likewise essential to take note of that Nuviante doesn't list its fixing measurements – so we don't have the foggiest idea about the dose of key fixings like nutrient B5.Normally, a great producer will list its logical examinations, its clinical preliminaries, and its fixing data. The absence of data is Nuviante is suspicious, no doubt. It additionally guarantees that its viability is fortified in clinical examinations and that the producer has performed "thorough" clinical testing on the item. As a general rule, there's no proof accessible web based supporting any of the cases made by Nuviante. The producer additionally will not reveal the dose of the fixings that are recorded.

> If something I need is added to Rust 2018 or a later edition

Most new language getting added to Rust, are added to the Rust 2015 edition (e.g. NLL). If you need a language feature that is added to a later edition only (like the `try` keyword), that's because the feature is incompatible with code being used in earlier editions (which declared a macro with the keyword name).

You can continue using the macro by just using raw-literal syntax.. but my old Rust code tends to "just work", so I don't really need to update it. My crates are also very small, so if I'd ever need an update, it wouldn't take too long - but haven't had to do that yet, so can't comment.

I tend to write most of my new code on new crates, so I default them to whatever edition was the default when I create them, and never look back.

I have lot of 2015 crates in my dependency tree, and that works just fine.

The government of any nation, of all groups, should be designed and optimised to take criticism. Especially in times like this. If they aren't equipped to efficiently deal with criticism, then they aren't an ineffective government. It's literally part of the job description.

Also, sometimes things are negative. The idea is to not panic, assess the situation, and enact the tasks that are most likely to be beneficial to the most people. This is the theory behind triage, and a whole lot of other, unpleasant realities.

I agree with focussing more on third world countries. We're all in this together, and many countries just don't have the capacity to deal with what the next few months are going to deal out.
Diving into Nix
Every Bug hunter should know this
To hell with it. So much great work from lowly support, frequently women, has been robbed of its rightful place. Call it Dukas notation until proved otherwise. Crick and Watson still have their ill-gotten novel prizes and most are unaware they are little more than thieves. (Wildly racist and sexist, sure, hard to deny that nowadays so we don't talk about it as loudly as we should).

tl;dr

"Dukas notation" just sounds good.
I'm excited to test it out deeper for some game dev using the differentialblity.
This sounds very relatable to me with other topics.

I have serious problems with obsessions in this vein that I believe to be pure-O (just the obsessive part of OCD) related, or in other words, an anxiety disorder. My mind latches onto things that are bad, and assumes that they will become way worse (as worse as possible), and it paralyzes me with anxiety to the point that I can't sleep some nights. I can't stop thinking about the worst possible case. Endless reading up on the subject, constantly trying to take steps to protect myself from the perceived threat.

I hate it so much. I tried to take medication to deal with it, and it helped me tremendously to stop worrying so much, but the medication caused quite bad tinnitus (it is ototoxic), and I had to stop.

I'm not discounting that coronavirus is scary, it definitely is. I wish I could take my own advice, but it would be far healthier if we could focus only on the present realities instead of fearing the worst case scenarios. If anyone knows how to do that, please advise!
Meanwhile typescript people be like: oh I see you're still using the old style mapped quantum ensemble types introduced five weeks ago rather than the retro-causal discriminated union types which will be introduced five hours from now - how quaint.
If people do not lose their jobs over this, I'll be mad. Gross negligence by many people.
Some are, largely the older ones. The newest books have lost something to me, and the related series feel like they're ghostwritten (they are ghostwritten -- but importantly, they feel like it.)

From the books here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Cussler#Bibliography, 'Dirk Pitt Adventures', which he wrote himself:

* The very old ones, Pacific Vortex, Mediterranean Caper, and Iceberg, are definitely dated. They also include some distasteful treatment of women and transexuals. The harsh (physically) behaviour to women seems to be Cussler's attempt to channel a Bond-like feeling. I don't like it at all.

* Dragon (if it's the one I remember) has an unpleasant rather racist feel. Like Crichton's Rising Sun, it's anti-Japanese.

* Raise the Titanic is what made him famous. Worth reading.

* The books Treasure, Sahara, Inca Gold are his absolute best. Big, thick, crazy adventure novels.

* Shock Wave I didn't like when I read it: something about the tone. I heard he had a personal tragedy before he wrote it, and maybe that affected the book.

* The books after feel increasingly ghostwritten, or at least churned out.

I enjoyed them as a teenager, and I was too young so some of the sexist or racist elements in the older ones passed me by. I read the Bond books at a similar age, and didn't understand everything I read. As an adult, re-reading, I disliked those elements strongly.

Yet, some of the stories are fantastic thrillers.

So: I'd recommend you avoid the ones that are distasteful, and the newer ones. But Titanic and those three others are worth reading. 'Big, thick, crazy adventure novels'. When you read them, you'll see why they keep periodically trying to make movies of his books.
I’ve been writing Swift since the day it was announced.

I believe in the language as a system programming language (and I’ve done systems programming in the past).

That said, like C#, it is strongly associated with Apple as a “private” language (despite being open-source).

That’s probably a big reason it’s slow to be adopted in a wider fashion, but I’m sure there’s other issues.

It would be nice to see it be more widely adopted, but I’m OK with it being confined to the Apple ecosystem, as that is my domain.
This seems more like a word processor than a typewriter. The author seems to concede that this isn't a typewriter at all:

> However, using a typewriter comes with two major shortcomings: 1) You cannot delete a typo. I know you do a lot of those, no need to expose this nasty behaviour to everybody’s face. 2) You cannot share the text you wrote online, be it on your website or on any other social platform.

Also, I am not a fan of the bulky wooden case, but I get that some people would be.
I think that this would be a great opportunity to take inspiration from devices like the iPad (Pro) and Nintendo switch:
perhaps the meat of the device (display, electronics, connectors) could be in a single unit, with a detachable keyboard of some kind.
Then, people would be free to create their own "docks" out of wood, old model M keyboards, pipe organs or whatever which could connect to this device using a single connector.

That aside, I really like the concept: hacker-friendly open design, a "more pure" writing experience, and a "real" operating system underneath it all which can be modified by the user.

Do you have a source for that information?

Old coal plants will presumably be able to operate on the marginal cost of the coal plus maintenance, where as new plants have a big initial capital spending they need to fund.

Now, it is clear that some plants are so old that they're going beyond their planned lifetime and need investments. But that does not seem to be what you are hinting at?

HAproxy is really, really good.

Personally I also use nginx as reverse proxy a lot, but that's more because there's a ready to use Ingress Controller for kubernetes that uses it internally.
Pretty cool.

Since you're American, I believe that your root problem is that you have bought into the notion that it is good and desirable to be productive all the time. People then extend this to trying to better themselves by amassing more knowledge.

Have you tried sitting alone in a room with no music, no TV, and no phone for an hour? It's actually quite liberating.

And if you call it digital-detox meditation, it's fashionable, too.
Rust seems to change constantly, because it's changing so slowly. The 1.0 release has held back a lot of stuff to avoid stabilizing wrong things, and it's now slowly backfilling the missing features bit by bit.

Instead of starting with a fat standard library, it started with minimal one and now each release adds 2-3 functions that could have been there in 2015. But none of it is idiom-changing revolution. These are mostly convenience functions, and you don't have to use them all just because they're there.

Every addition to the language is bikeshedded to death, goes through betas, revisions, refinements, before being stabilized years later. The first experimental release of async was 4 years ago and it has landed last November. So you may hear about new features a lot and they churn in nightlies, but actual big changes reach stable rarely.

Apart from async/await, since 2015 Rust made only 2 changes to how idiomatic code looks like (? for errors, and 2018 modules), and both of them can be applied to code automatically. I maintain over 60 Rust crates, some of them as old as Rust itself. All work fine as they are, and running `cargo fix` once was enough to keep them looking idiomatic.
>Farming developed so recently

The jury is still out on how recently agriculture was developed by human cultures. We are still discovering our history - its not entirely clear that it is as recent as Western academia is capable of demonstrating, empirically ..

Take, for example, the as-yet under-explored evidence in Australia that agriculture extends tens of thousands of years further into our past than we currently acknowledge.

Its entirely feasible we developed a sense of soil as a consequence of our technological use of it.
This is apples fault. Not for not blocking it but for not making the download-and-installed as streamlined as it needs to be. Being forced to drag something to a folder is not the UX you expect.

The readme for the Abomonation repo makes me laugh every time.
The language team member you are criticizing for exploring what Ok-wrapping could look like goes into your particular argument in quite some detail here: https://boats.gitlab.io/blog/post/2017-12-27-things-explicit...

Your general concern, which is that "new syntax makes things less explicit, and is therefore bad", isn't logical.

Adding new syntax has many costs (not only one), but it can also have benefits (hence why it is being proposed), and the real question is whether the benefits outweigh the costs.
That is, whether it is a trade-off worth making.

In the blog post, the author quantify the actual costs of not having Ok-wrapping on their own code, as well as the costs of adding Ok-wrapping to the language, and for them, their numbers suggest that the trade-off is worth it - so they went on and implement it as a proc macro, and are using it on their own code. They don't care whether anybody elses uses it, and they don't have to.

You could have disagreed with their quantification, maybe you have different numbers, and that leads to a different outcome of whether the trade-off is worth making or not.

Instead, you just disagree, without making an argument, and others are doing the same.

In my eyes, this kind of hurts your position, since it gives me the impression that those against Ok-wrapping can't really argue why. Whether they just can't argue in general, lack data to back their arguments up, or maybe even whether they are Rust users at all, is anybody's guess.

I can't imagine a Rust application writer that is using Result idiomatically and not doing _a lot_ of manual Ok-wrapping all over the place. I can't imagine anybody actually enjoying that manual Ok wrapping. Looking at servo, the Rust compiler, and all my applications, what people end up doing is writing their own one-shot local macros to hide that manual Ok wrapping. Having written some of these myself, it definitely did not happen because I was "enjoying it too much". On the contrary, once or twice per function is ok, but when I had to do it dozens of times per function, it was just too painful both for the people writing it and those maintaining that code.
Just pointing out the irony of you being one of the first comments on a Coronavirus post, and claiming to be cured of the obsession :-)
Whether OYO would have done well, absent Covid-19, is a debatable point, but in general companies who were expanding rapidly with a lot of borrowing, right before a recession starts, do not do well.

Things like OYO and WeWork seem like they'll be particularly badly affected by this downturn as they've got a lot of fixed costs (leases or property owned) and their main markets will be heavily impacted.
Web developers – help me give you what you want
Hi my name is Stellan, I've been developing different kinds of products over the years.

When it comes to web and frontend I have found that the best way to build good stuff is by looking at how others have done it, though with web I think this is something that often is harder than it looks because of the requirements that's present on a website, like css frameworks and stuff, but also not being able to completely isolate the thing you like without the special css selectors used etc.

So to help with that I have built a chrome extension that allows you to grab a html element and it's children and include only the css needed to reproduce that element - and this allows you to see everything only relevant only to this element as well as exporting it to use for your own projects.

When I started building this it was at first just something I planned on using myself and it's current state is super-useful though it could use some cleaning of the css and stuff like that.

The thing I would want your help on is this

Is there someone here besides me that would find an extension like this useful?
And if there is, is there features to it that you would consider invaluable?

for example..

A page builder for the components you saved

component export formats like vue, svelte, react

tailwindcss export

Would you pay for a extension like this?

Would you like the components you saved to be stored in a backend as well or just the browsers local storage?

If there is any interest in this I'm happy to talk to you about it in this thread or anywhere really if you prefer something else! :)

Hope to hear from you!

I had a look, and didn't sign up (yet) because:

The only breakdown for software is: games; mobile; web design; web dev.

My work is usually about improving ops/infra processes, developer tooling, system architecture, etc. Yes that usually relates to a "web app" but based on current trends, subscribing under "web development" would likely result in a bunch of react/angular/$flavour-of-the-month-JS leads.

Having said all that, I just noticed that you source leads from places that I deliberately avoid, because I'm not interested in a race to the bottom using a "platform" that exists purely to skim a percentage from every invoice.
Maybe because swift is statically typed, whereas Julia is not?
While I agree that BDD doesn't scale well I don't understand how xUnit (which is a unit tests framework hacked into BDD if I understand correctly) can help with that ?

BDD is BDD regardless of the framework, you want to use the same syntax
There was a similar commercial product, basically a PC keyboard with a small (LCD?) screen, for typing text only documents. It was distraction free, and pretty cheap for something with great battery time. I think notebooks were very expensive back when it was launched.

You'd then download your texts into a computer.

I can't recall the name. I think it ran on regular alkaline AA cells. It attracted a bit of a cult following.

Edit: I think I must be thinking of the Alphasmart line - with products from 1993-2013:

Until Google actually offers Swift tooling comparable to Julia, Pytorch and ML.NET on Windows or Android, I will keep ignoring it.

Note that the recent Tensorflow Summit had zero annoucements related to S4TF, including post event blog posts.

From the outside it looks like there is a small group trying to push S4TF, without regards for usability outside Google Cloud, while everyone else is doing JavaScript, Python and C++ as usual.
I was surprised that when I ran a WebEx exe on windows to join a meeting, after the meeting concluded a window appeared with my calendar information pulled from outlook.

It really highlights how on desktop apps can do what they like. Whilst on mobile platforms at least you have to grant specific access.
One of the things that I like to do, is stop for a few days, from time to time, and write a article about my personal process, projects, whatever.

I find that it helps me to write better code, think about my designs, and make sure that I know my stuff.

I don’t care too much whether or not people actually read my stuff, but I always make an effort like I’m writing for a major publication.

I will also write “lessons”; regardless of whether or not there are “students.” I was taught that the best way to learn, is to teach.
