There are tools that require a big time investment to learn, and Nix is one of them. It much more "pragmatically usable" than other OSes once you learn all the bits and pieces. It's kind of like Vim. But yes, it's quite frustrating at start that you can't do seemingly simple stuff with ease.

In my family some – during their high school years – managed to move from Eastern Germany (GDR) to Western Germany (FRG): They unanimously state the same thing as you did.

My speculation: This hasn't anything to do with the "eastern-ness" of a countries culture – but rather the ROI for education / medicine, which looks quite different under a communist economy, under which so many other endeavours scale so much worse.
Lisp let's you modify its syntax. You're making the standard argument about why that might be a bad idea. At least for Lisp, historically it worked pretty well. As new ideas came along, a lot of the good ones got incorporated in Lisp as syntax extensions.

Overloading in C++ is kind of similar. Im not sure that worked out so well in practice.
I don't agree about not essential. If we go there, sooner or later, someone will show up and say Music is not essential, and why can't everyone dress like Zuck etc.

But I do agree about local. I mean who doesn't want to walk by something like this everyday - https://scontent-yyz1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t50.2886-16/93565...
Great app, I just bought it and I will try it on the next WebEx conference calls :).

Some remarks:

- the "Highlight cursor at app launch" has a "Start sdf sdfsdf" tooltip

- I can not change the keyboard shortcuts (when I click on the button to configure them, nothing happens)

- the default keyboard shortcut "Control + Option + A" presented in the menu does not work on French keyboards and requires instead to push "Control + Option + Q", which looks like a AZERTY / QWERTY configuration issue?

Fair enough, although I'm not sure how what you say is at odds with what I said. As you indicate, Dutch students don't care much if any (yet). It probably depends on the university as well. The highly international ones (Wageningen, Maastricht, some institutes in Enschede, maybe Delft, at least the TU?) certainly do.
I guess on Patreon you are buying a bigger number on the creator's page. The other reason is that it gives you a consistent "workflow" so it is easy to subscribe and unsubscribe. Meanwhile if you wanted to help a youtuber who was sometimes streaming on twitch your only option would be to subscribe on twitch even though you mostly watch the youtube videos.
as of the last time i recall the window server had some special treatment for safari to try to optimize various things -- is that true?
The car could have a "unoccupied miles driven counter" that you reported manually or automatically once in a while. Much like how you report your electricity usage to the power company.

> anyone can learn jQuery. That’s where some of the snobbery comes from, but when you have a team that has all kinds of skill levels or you’re making something on a budget.

Anyone can learn React; I work in a group with a couple different teams, one of which is using Boostrap+jQuery and the other is using React+MaterialUI+Redux+... On both teams, most of the teams are new devs that came from desktop support or other non-dev IT roles. The ones doing React aren't lagging behind the jQuery team in ability to deliver, in fact they are leading.

I was familiar with GraphQL before integrating it into a Django project, so my experience may differ, but I had a good experience using graphene: https://docs.graphene-python.org/projects/django/en/latest/t...

Since efficient querying is a concern, I highly recommend just biting the bullet. It's extremely easy to underestimate the complexity of caching state on the frontend and to end up accumulating an unmaintainable frontend state management situation. It's totally possible to do what OP suggested without running in to those kinds of issues, but typically that involves more frequent fetching from the server.

It depends how quickly you need to make the prototype/whether you'd be willing to refactor it/how efficient the querying really needs to be/whether you think you can keep state management simple and structured enough to avoid it ballooning/how quickly you think you can grok the basics of GraphQL/etc. Apollo doesn't really care what your schema looks like, unlike relay, so the learning curve isn't as steep. When I picked up GraphQL/Apollo for the first time the terminology felt pretty obtuse, but once the basic idea clicked it felt pretty natural. Most of the devs I've worked with have had similar experiences.
Also, I think as a student you're quite shielded from it. Ask your professor (not the postdocs or the assocs, the real ones) some day, I'm sure they have an opinion on it.
Looking at title I thought it was something along the lines of state Iowa opting in for Dvorak keyboard layout as default or something... Lol.
Yes, I think you should at least display them as what they are: testimonials from friends, not tweets from happy users.

Whenever I see a collection of (legitimate) user tweets, it gives me reassurance that a) the product is liked b) the product has been around for a while c) the product is popular. A company will always praise its own product. But if users start to do it publically on Twitter, it's an honest recommendation that is worth a lot in my eyes. It's like a grassroots movement. But if you fake it, it feels like astroturfing.

Not the same, but I went from the Polish education system to a British university, and it also felt like it was a massive downgrade.

What really surprised me was the core principle at British unversities - "don't assume prior knowledge of anything". It basically meant that on a CS course, they teach you basic level maths, basic programming skills, you spend the entire 1st year of university learning what we learnt in school around age 15-16. A Polish university absolutely won't be teaching you basic algebra,statistics or core concepts of programing on a CS course - you are simply required to know these things, otherwise wtf are you doing on a CS course.

Also in general, I find the elective system of subjects in British schools to be.....poor. As in, I was(and am) surrounded by perfectly normal adults who are good in certain subjects(the ones they picked) and who have zero knowledge in others(the ones they didn't pick). I feel like my own Polish education has given me a very broad understanding of a lot of different subjects even if I wasn't personally interested in them. Like, even though I went to a school with a "maths and CS focus"(which just meant these two subjects had 2x the number of lessons each week), we still had lessons in history, physics, chemistry, biology, Polish literature.....all of it was mandatory, you couldn't just decide to skip it. At the time, I thought it was useless, but in hindsight I am very grateful for it because it has given me at least basic level of knowledge in many different subjects, whereas my British peers just can't even have a conversation about basic chemistry for instance, since they never took it as a subject.
Not really.

"Mr Hoekstra also infuriated some of his finance minister colleagues this week when he suggested that Brussels “investigate” why some economies did not have the fiscal headway to fight a downturn — a veiled dig at Italy and others for failing to reform in benign times. An EU diplomat quoted by Volkskrant described the slight as a “middle finger to the south”."
The biggest thing you would probably be sacrificing is development time for every engineer involved. The html/css/js stacks have had unimaginable amounts of manpower invested, more so than any UI stack in history. This has made them much easier to learn and manipulate. Throwing away all of that would be a very hard sell.

Anti-intellectualism does exist in Russia. Read for example Edward Frenkel's autobiographical works.
As dan-robertson mentioned in another branch, you don't even need induction - you can sidestep it by writing X = sum_i x_i 10^i and noticing that all the 10^i are 1 modulo 9 (and therefore modulo 3).
You know those programmers that confuse CS and programming? This is what I imagine they would come up with as they just don't have the tools of formality.
Anecdotally, a I know some people that grew up in Europe and then went to America/American schools and they did way better there because it was way easier. I also remember something on 60 minutes a long time ago where they had some some Dutch students take some advanced American test and the lowest score in a test not their native language the lowest score was like 92 I think...
Similarly to many here, I can't get the website to work, but I'll still ask a question:

This is a complete straw man argument against C++ based on exceptions vs return codes. C++ can handle C return codes, and the compiler comment needs some data to back it up. I would give this more than a grain of salt if the author had an 'alternatives considered' section or some other legitimate arguments like "I'm OCD and I just can't handle the fact that if I want to alphabetize the methods in the declaration for a base class it's a breaking change in terms of binary compatibility for a shared library."

Can agree with similar comparison - when studying at the end of 90s on high school, one student from our central/eastern european class spent 1 year in US. After he came back, he'd tell us how in math they were several years behind for same age group (ie we were running derivations and integrals and they were more on end-of-secondary school level). He was average back home, stellar math student there.

Of course, case point 1, comparing 'gymnasium' (more theoretical study-focused high school instead of say practical crafts, good preparation for university) with some US public high school.

Schools back home have gone 'softer' on students since we studied (don't all complain at some point about that?), so maybe now its more comparable.

The thing is, hardcore math skills apparently don't have that high impact on overall functioning economy. More open society, freedom to pursue ones dreams, freedom to try your own business idea (and fail hard if stars don't align) make overall a better functioning economy.
I had a student from the Soviet Union in my class. He said they had no funding for all the nice things we had in chemistry class. But that the difference was that he had never seen so many people unwilling to learn anything, as he had noted of American students.
Some countries are, there were e.g. random tests in Germany and Austria to study the general prevalence of Covid-19.

There are other ways to cleverly increase test capacities for "explorative" testing by e.g. combining samples from individuals, testing them as a whole and performing binary search on the positive results.

Germany plans to roll out antibody tests in May to find out who is already immune, building up the test capacity for that seems to be a complicated process though.

It's likely the place where that energy is expended is not being taken into account. Injecting water vapour and combustion products from burning jet fuel high in the sky is probably a lot more harmful than just the amount of energy is being consumed.

The skies in summer here are criss-crossed with dispersed contrails. It might help a little with global warming by increasing the reflectance of the atmosphere but it's sure ugly.
It even went further: in Romania, there was a popular movie in the 80s where the main plot is a high school student going to the math olympiad and his classmates cheering for him (with additional romantic threads of course).

> Firstly, there's the name: chaos, which evokes the opposite of what my code to look like.

The full name is "The Chaos Programming Language", which I understand as "the language to program chaos". It's in line with the motto "Turn chaos into magic!", as you program to turn an arbitrary state (chaos) into what you want (order / magic).

I still think it's a joke language, but this part is well-thought.
Yes for sure, in academia the perceived ranking is quite important. But, at least in my field, ranking is decoupled from the ranking of a university and is more on a department basis. I.e., the physics department of a specific university might be well regarded internationally, even though the university itself not so much. This is of course helped by the fact that Dutch universities are all quite highly ranked.
I am sure they will come back, probably in combination with other recent techniques. We still need an AI that understands what it's doing. Disclaimer: I'm an ignoramus.

> Set theory alone you can get to continuum hypothesis.

Ironically, her independence from ZF would make the classical Bourbaki group shiver. The same way the earlier, better known, work of Goedel did.

I don't know, if you are aware of Bourbakis spirit. There is something much more important in this context as the content-wise difference between sets and numbers. I never would argue against applying naive set definitions in a suiting way. But Bourbaki had an agenda, and this agenda is not for everyone (certainly not for me).

It's a typical talking point of the "it's just a flu" crowd. It's a bit of a loaded question because you might just as well ask how many people died from "pneumonia" or something like that that were actually infected with the coronavirus.
Likely many developers would opt-in when business sees the 5% surcharge for extra fraud.

And regardless, stripe explicitly says in their documentation that you should include stripe.js on every page of your app, so they can do tracking of pointers movements for fraud detection. This has not been hidden in any way from devs.

We are live again finally. Sorry for the hiccup.

In Barbra the main difference is that you can take notes and have your flashcards in one place. I noticed I often had to transfer my class notes from Evernote and copy them into Anki. That was a huge hassle.

Another point is that in Barbra sharing flashcards and notes is the default. You invite people, set goals together, and then collaborate on everything. I noticed we always sent photos of notes on Whatsapp to others before tests, and that was a hassle as well. So we built thinking of these 2 things.
> many reports of patients "presumed" to have died from it, i.e. officially counted but not tested

The link you replied to says 100% of inmates at Pickaway have been tested. There are separate columns for "Probable" and "Confirmed COVID-19 Related Inmate Deaths".

Pickaway has a prisoner population of 2100. If 7 died in the last month from non-Covid causes, that would mean half the prison normally dies in a 14 year period.
As you say, this doesn't sound right. If you force the programmer to write branch-free code (this appears to be the founding principle of the language [0]), that doesn't mean your boundary-value analysis [1] problems go away, it means you've made them less explicit.

As you say, there's full line coverage for tests, but no guarantee of full equivalence-partition coverage. It's quite possible for branch-free code to fail on certain values. ctrl-f for overflow in [2]

The 'Showcase' link is broken, the GitHub repo seems to show no examples, and the linked StackOverflow chaos tag is never used in relation to this language, so as you say, I'm not sure how serious this language really is. Fun idea though.

(It's entirely possible I'm misusing the term boundary-value analysis. Corrections welcome.)

Patreon is relatively safe in that regard: They don't have much focus on discovery, no ad-placement to worry about, ... People interact with it primarily through deep links to invididual creators pages, so the "neighborhood" is less relevant. They've always been far from being a "porn site".

I also went to high-school in Romania in '90s.

But I think you are wrong on "nerd" thing. Which doesn't mean technical excellence or excellence on a particular subject. "Nerd" means being weird while somehow interested in some technical matters.

There were a lot of "cool" kids doing great at math, physics or programming.

According to Mirriam-Webster, a nerd is "an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person".
would you like to build a townhouse for your family with just one parking space? Illegal in the vast majority of the United States, where 2+ parking spaces per home are required by law.

That's a very specific and authoritative claim that is utterly false.

First of all, most of the U.S. doesn't even have zoning limitations regarding parking specific to townhomes. Nowhere outside cities (private developments can have CC&Rs to this effect, but that's not "zoning"), to my knowledge.

Where I live in SV, our entire development is townhomes with single parking spaces (plus a small pool of guest spots on the outer fringes of the complex).

Next to us is a large apartment complex with one space per unit. Next to that is a duplex development with one-car garages and just street parking otherwise. Can't even park in the driveways.

My last condo in Mountain View had exactly one parking space per unit (even the three bedroom units) plus a small pool of guest spaces outside the "secure" garage level. (Feel free to look it up: 1033 Crestview Drive, 90 condos in the complex, all with just 1 space).

YIMBYs love to claim "but zoning" yet almost never quote any specific codes from any specific cities, let alone anything at a county or statewide level.

So, by all means, please educate us all and give your references identifying this "vast majority".
