A scene from Baywatch I saw when I was 12 or 13 stayed with me forever. In the scene, a rescue goes bad. Swimmer is unresponsive in the water next to a peer, waves are sloshing, and the swimmer is about to get smashed to bits on the peers.

Rescuer jumps in and tries to save the stranded swimmer. All goes well until the rescuer gets smashed into the peer and injures his back. More rescuers jump in and save the lives of both the swimmer and rescuer.

Then a stark lesson is delivered to the novice lifeguard who got hurt: This is why we train you to use the victim as a cushion agains the peer. They're already hurt and we don't need another victim.

That stuck with me. Rescue yourself first, then help others. Otherwise we just end up with 2 people to rescue.
This reminds me very much about a documentary I saw a while back about competitive fighting games [0].

A Pakistani newcomer ended up taking everybody by surprise in a big Tekken 7 tournament trough his unconventional way of playing.

This was apparently the result of Pakistani arcade culture existing in its own isolated underground niche, in which a completely independent meta for playing the game evolved.

International top tier players even traveled to Pakistan to learn and train that style of playing with local players to incorporate elements of it to their own.

My particular NUC (the NUC8i7HVK) is precisely the one targeted by the HaC Mini project, so everything worked really great out of the box.

That wasn’t the case a few months ago though, when graphics acceleration, sleep, and even USB didn’t work! It was really thanks to the authors of this project who got everything working. They even have technically detailed explanations about how they reverse engineered some of the drivers to get everything working correctly.
There is definitely some truth in what you’re saying —- especially at startups without a strongly developed internal Scala culture.

I think it’s less of an issue at large companies like Twitter, Asana, Databricks, etc, which overall probably employ most working Scala programmers but not the most vocal.
Well said.

I believe this to be the fundamental realization that would change the world for the better, if enough people had it. So many of the ills of the world can be traced back to childhood trauma and mediocre education.

I think we have been going through a few decades where mainstream parenting values have been mostly narcissistic. Parents seeing their children as indebted to them is both the norm and an abomination. I have some hope that more and more people are seeing things as you do.
Can you do something similar with TCP and increase the packet size such that the "TCP Overhead" is reduced compared to 64 byte payloads but with the increased reliability over UDP?
You are reading in something I never said.

This is what you are reading in: "this does not mean sed is not a tool worth learning"

I never said, nor implied, that.

None of my prior responses have said whether sed is worth, or not worth, learning. My responses were focused only on your initial hypotheses that implied a large number know of it. My hypotheses is if you actually test your statement within your JS dev. groups, you'll find a shockingly low number of members who even know sed exists.

Now, as for my opinion of sed, it is a fine tool, and it is well work knowing how to use it (at the very least knowing how to use it for its most common usage, replacing strings with other strings). I myself reach for it quite often when I need to do something that it is good at doing.

And, yes, for you, it is well worth learning something about it. It is also well worth you learning something about many of the other CLI tools, such as head, tail, join, comm, seq, etc. There are a huge number of them, and they can often allow you to solve a problem without ever writing a single line of code (unless you consider a Unix pipeline to be 'code').
I hope you are not including Cuomo — the governer at the epicenter of the worst hit NY — in your “list of good governers”? This was his quote from early March:

"People are reacting like this is the Ebola virus. This is not the Ebola virus. This hysteria that you see, this fear that you see, the panic that you see is unwarranted. We have dealt with worse viruses. This spreads like the flu, but most people will have it and they get on with their lives."

I personally Facebook (& others) are _not_ responsible for what people post on its network - to believe they should be is dangerous. On the flip side, the media have been continuing this relentless attack blaming them for stuff they hate, like Trump, FB in turn try and moderate content, and the right come at them for censorship (because there's invariably false positives in that process).

So what are Facebook supposed to do in this situation. Just roll over and die?

How are they supposed to take responsibility for the the words the entire western world puts onto their platform?
thanks. Now I know I am not alone in using this metaphor.
It would be practical to at least have some form of heat transfer to the case for passive cooling advantage, but this can have the downside of the end user getting burned/uncomfortable and saying, Why does my computer get so hot?

The recent metal-cased RTL-SDR's from rtl-sdr-blog have this "problem". The metal case actually helps the chip run cooler, but it gets hotter to the touch then the early insulating plastic models.

I agree with your evaluation that parts of the FP community are extremely vocal and extremely smug, and this can and does have a bad effect on a community. This is a problem.
Dealing with this problem requires leadership. In particular a project leader typically has to decide (in a Scala context) whether to go FP or imperative, because mixing both is often a problem. Similar to e.g. using message passing or shared memory for communication between threads.

throw exception

This is a good example. It is really important to be very clear from Day 1 how to handle errors in a project. One hybrid choice that is popular is: use exceptions for errors that you cannot recover from, use Options for local error handling.
Herd immunity is a real phenomenon -- it's the strategic goal behind widespread vaccination, and the reason that vaccination controls disease even if less than 100% of the population takes the vaccine or gets immunity from it.

That said, I think you're right to be skeptical of the "let everyone get it and we'll have natural herd immunity" idea.
My uncles were boomers & their advice tended toward crap. Advice from my wife's uncles could be a bit better, tho.

From that generation - nearly all the worthwhile advice came from women.
IMO that’s capitalism’s failing, not copyright’s.
If the system were different it could reward cures much more than specific drugs. In the current system almost no one is chasing simple and cheap cures because complicated patentable drugs that people use for a lifetime are far more capitalistically profitable.
In my opinion, Sydney Poitier’s rebuke of his father in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner should be Chapter 1 Verse 1 of any book on parenting.

What your parents sacrificed for you should be repaid in kind to your kids, not back to your parents. If you don’t have kids, pay it to society.
I guess this question pops up every time… what are some good reasons to choose Scala over Haskell or F# if you are interested in the FP part of Scala?
I've been hearing this since 1997. I don't know why I should believe this until I see it.
This is also true. It's unfortunate that attempts by both sides of the debate to steal the moral high ground through terminology are obscuring the ethical and economic questions, which as you point out are why this all exists in the first place.
From my layman understanding the initial viral load is a strong factor in how well you can respond to the infection. Immune response more or less happens in a constant time, while the unchecked virus spreads roughly exponentially. If your initial load was low, then by the time your immune system responds, the infection will be relatively little spread, but if your initial load was high, the virus will have spread much more, which can be challenging for the immune system to handle, event for healthier people.
Given that probably the biggest by far factor for success in most anything is connections and networking the later is a lot less useful than the former.
> I can’t find the corners of windows to grab them, and when I do, it’s one damn pixel wide and I get jitters.

The window borders technically still have more or less their old width, it's just that they're mostly being drawn as invisible (but you still should be able to grab them just as if they were actually visible).

That sounds pretty nice actually. Really the only pain that I feel with my Hackintosh is the updates (which is why I'm still on Mojave). However, I'm not really sure if I want to trade in performance since updates are a periodic pain but a performance hit is gonna always be there.
This seems dismissive. Books are great, but they're usually put together by a single, knowledgeable author, rarely demonstrate how to construct a full-stack application, and definitely don't lend themselves to consistently staying up-to-date. Something like the RealWorld repo [0], which shows how to put together something in a variety of different languages and styles, is better for this.

> Maybe if we had one government we’d finally be able to settle on one electrical plug, which side of the road to drive on etc.

That's nice, but seeing how the wast majorities of crimes against humanity are made by too powerful nation states against their inhabitants I am not very exited to see what atrocities an even more powerful would do.

At least now if the local government are trying to kill you there's a small chance that you might manage to escape to a safer place.
That's why I am suspicious of the claims it makes.
In my life experience, many Americans tend to be selfish individualists and fail to reciprocate or be concerned about anyone else. For example, a donation barrel at a local hackerspace one recent holiday season was essentially empty. Inequality is also rampant as thousands of homeless people live on highway embankments while millionaires drive past in Ferraris.

In areas without community social ramifications (typically large cities), there's little benefit of helping and minimal risks of not helping others. OTOH, there are bigger risks of not being helpful in rural areas where there might be one general store run by one person and where reputation gossip gets around.
Spaniard here since this article[1] about Spain was prominently noted in the linked article, there isn't a basic income plan here and nothing like that has happened, please stop with making up this kind of stuff about other countries.

There is regular unemployment insurance and an unemployment plan targeted to temporary job freezes (ERTE) that has always existed, nothing to do with basic income. I would also like to see BI even if it's just a test, but what we have here has nothing to do with it.

The government has just made the rules for these pre-existing unemployment plans a bit more flexible (or arguably not). Also the rent situation has become a lot better.

Edit: removed references to the future since I cannot predict it and moved those to the present.

Edit 2: it's also interesting to see the original headline was "Spain is moving to" (already false, there's no specific plan now) but in this article the mention was "Spain decided to institute the program" (ridiculous).
You don't need to rewrite the GPU rom! I never set it up fully due to other issues, but I had High Sierra + GPU passthrough working quite well in ESXI last fall.

I would still be using ESXI now, except my (unusual) goal was to run 10.9, and I couldn't for the life of me get GPU passthrough working in 10.9.

The neat thing about ESXI, though, is that it is officially supported by macOS. Only on Apple hardware, of course, but with ESXI the motherboard is all fake anyway, so it works identically regardless of the host's hardware. All you need to do is patch out the Apple hardware check, which is easy.
I said it was necessary; I never said it was sufficient.
I'm with doteka on this. I think techie entitlement is a bigger problem than self-righteousness. As Kyle Mitchell (kemitchell on HN) put it recently in his essay "No Thanks" [1]:

> From outside software looking in, “software freedom” walks and talks a lot more like “coder entitlement” or “coder privilege”. In short, a hacker on a tear should never hear the word “no”. Not when breaking into offices to steal parts for a train set. Not when contending with a printer they didn’t develop or pay for. Not when building the next hot web or mobile app … again. Not when building a war cloud or optimizing a baby-photo reinforcement schedule for grandma.

Do we not realize how entitled and selfish we are?

And no, I've never done a hackintosh, either virtual or physical.

How do you start? Write invitation letters with date and time to first batch to be infected? Nonsense it is because it’s barely doable. The people will simply leave country unless one puts military on the borders.
I took some community college classes in high school through a program we had with them. The environment and students were very underwhelming. Your mileage may vary.

I got to take relevant classes (CS) in my very first quarter of college. The first two years it was a 50/50 split. The biggest benefit was being among smart, interesting people. College was way better than any previous educational experience, by far.

That being said I didn't experience waiting for core classes. The class sizes were typically very large though. Taking these on the side at a community college while attending a 4 year college sounds like a good idea. I'm just opposed to putting everything on hold for 2 years to do basic classes. I don't think a community college is the place to explore interests.
They discovered the science, not the art? Haven't actually executed on the science: they don't have a 3D printer that works this way?

More importantly, Lidl didn't have Norwegian newspapers when they arrived and while some of the things they sold were great a number of others just didn't feel right. A lot of the food they try to sell just didn't work because we aren't used to it at all.
Thanks for the app. I love the functionality.

Why do messages in the mailbox disappear? I want them always to remain! Especially when they are so good. Also, grouping responses would be amazing.

I would also like a thank you or a thumbs up emoji or something that makes the person who sent me a message or me feel that we're not screaming into an empty void.

In the reply tab, I was looking to swipe right - like the way cards in Google work. That seems intuitive.
I think there's a common misconception in your argument. Even without a full distribution network it might be a viable solution. Most of us use our cars for our daily commute, grocery shopping and other things within a fairly small radius. The few times we would need to drive the SF->LA distance you can easily take a rental.

The mistake is to assume that we would use "alternative fuel" vehicles the same way we would our petrol cars.
Thank you very much. I am too young to remember these events. But I am also confident, that current technology is better than 50 years ago.

If you did publish that book, then it was widely received, touched people’s lives, and changed them, then theoretically had every copy taken away from them, would you agree then that it might be robbing those people?
If you can do both at the same time, or get basic classes out of the way in the summer at a community college, then it may be ok.

But delaying electives for two years would put you at a significant disadvantage in technical fields, imo. Not to mention the basic classes (math, physics, etc) will be a joke at a community college so you will have a weaker background.
May I ask which models you have seen so far?

I wanted to try this but was worried that the gpu pass through wouldn’t be smooth for basic video playback. How well do YouTube and Netflix play? How smooth does it feel overall? Could someone be fooled into thinking it was a native system?
I agree. I've used both heavily, they are both amazing, but Scala nowadays has a much richer ecosystem of libraries (because of the JVM heritage). Nevertheless, they are both in the ML tradition of languages, and once you've mastered on, the other is easily picked up.
Yeah, he was wrong. But he's changed his tune, and has done a decently good job managing the situation.
It’s exactly this eventual solution that leads me to think that we’ll swing back away from streaming services as the primary “stores of things we love”.
When you don’t have a copy, it can vanish without you noticing until the next time you actually want to enjoy it.
> The way I solve a problem and the way you solve it may be two completely different yet perfectly valid ways. Who is right in that situation? We could go rounds arguing whose solution is better.

If this is what the discussion devolves into, then I expect additional context to serve as the guiding light. What are the goals of the project? What is the timeline? What is the ROI? Who are our customers? What are their tolerances? Do we have SLAs? What internal commitments do we have to other teams? etc.

If none of those are enough to serve as the guiding principle, then who really cares how a problem is solved as long as it's solved? You're building a business, not making art to be admired.
> I've always thought there should be an "other help" movement alongside "self help."

There is, one of the communities I happen to know about is called the effective altruism community. I'm sure it's not the only one, and I'm pretty sure there are more communities with the word "altruism" in it that are about the idea of other help.

I do think it's an amazingly marketable term though since it juxtaposes to self help so well.
The idea behind this is that it's streams all the way through, so there could be something more efficient to use for these "rolling" database that basically are streams of data. So instead of SQL, it's map-filter-reduce, a query engine that works over streams. https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-query/blob/master/README.md - https://github.com/dominictarr/map-filter-reduce

It's probably a result of going with pull-streams and basically architecture all scuttlebot tools/libs around pull-streams, so you want something that works over streams.

And yeah, Scuttlebot is not built with SQL as it's query language, but you could probably easily write something that understands both SQL queries and the file format scuttlebot stores the messages in. Thing is, you don't want to send these queries to other peers (they are all local), because the system is setup to be offline-first and only reach out to the network when it has to, not just for listing latest messages.

In general, you want all the action of fetching/syncing of data to happen exactly when you want it to happen, and then when you're done it doesn't continue until next "sync". So everything you do is local.

But then, if "query the feeds the way I want to" is the reason you don't like it, then so be it. But if it's just that you don't understand it, then reading through and digging into the different repositories will give you a better viewpoint. Start at the ssb-query and look what's using it and what it's using.

"Sweden FHM" is the default country, which is a different data source, it's using data from the Folkhälsomyndigheten FHM (Swedish Public Health Agency), which is adjusted by death date and not reporting date as the John Hopkins data is.
The words “duty” and “debt” (and “due”) are more or less the same idea, and both derived from the latin "debere".

You can think of “duty” as more or less a smoothed out version of “debt-ity”.

Top schools (MIT, Stanford, etc.) have generous financial aid packages if you can get in. They'll provide you a well rounded technical education which sometimes is hard to achieve/force one-self to do when self-teaching. Networking should also not be understated since it pays off hidden dividends down the line. In five years fewer will care you went to MIT but if it helped you get a Facebook internship that then helped you get a Google offer that then helped you get a great startup offer it's still helping you indirectly. Right now having no college degree also prevents you from getting certain jobs or makes it much harder.
