Probably not. I'm not an expert either but have some basic experience on transforming my own [script](https://github.com/Cirru/cirru-script-loader) with a loader of webpack.

Normally Webpack loader transforms a single file to another file, like CoffeeScript to JavaScript, mapping one to one. So when it's processing a single file, the loader probably has no knowledge on other files. When it's importing another module, it's Webpack detecting there's a `require` or `import` and revolsing that file.

This solution is not working for ClojureScript. I thought it was thheller told me that ClojureScript has macros, it's not just transforming files one by one, which is not how I was taught to write a loader...

There might be some solution but could be tricky. At least we still need a ClojureScript provided by JVM, which is already a lot more sophistached than a normal Webpack loader.

(I was told WISP has macros like Clojure but transforms with Webpack loader. Didn't investigate into that: https://github.com/girvo/wisp-loader/blob/master/index.js#L1...) .

I'm sure there are some misdiagnoses, but enough to skew the results in any significant way? I'd bet $1000 to $1 that the number of unreported cases caused by covid-19 exceeds the number of misattributions that were caused by something else.
Thanks! This seems like a good start for me to start playing around :)

Harvard prestige started declining 2 years ago when they bribe in order to gain entry there.
As soon as read "hacking" being used as a synonym for coding/development, I started to get angry. I still read it just in case I was wrong, just to end up being right, and angry.
Absolutely - we have a dedicated "water cooler" channel, and as a lead I try to ensure people feel comfortable going "off topic" during small group meetings.
> TC: Are these spaces being offered at no cost?

> AS: They are donated or offered at reduced pricing.

This decision was made by the market, not by AirBnB, because they can't get anywhere near your former price.

> AS: Yes, like “Sangria mixing with Pedro,” which is a cocktail mixing show

This isn't going to work.

AirBnb's sole "value" proposition was exploiting a regulatory loophole to allow offering accommodation that has:

- lower to no safety inspection

- zoned in residential spaces often with angry neighbours

Does it have another idea like this, that allows them to extract value created by the community?

I don't see any.

First, the are smaller number of smart developers than you think.

Then see the project's scope. Big project's architecture may not works well for small scoped project, and vice versa. As long as it pays well, small, quick, with duct typing projects are worth to develop.

Usually the problem is small project with tight budget, which makes the margin small and causing you unable to improve / improving your tools.

If that's the case, you may look for other company which have higher margin and pay-to-work hours ratio. It does not necessarily means bigger companies.

Now for the paths:

- front end knowledge is valuable even if you don't aim to be front end devs or full stack, so more or less knowing how they work is useful. Afaik react devs are in high demand and highly paid. However front end grows very fast compared to backend.

- machine learning is good, but I lack the knowledge in this topic. My concern is the tooling today may be very different with the tooling in following years, CMIIW.

"Turns out Chestertons fence is there for a reason."

The bummer is when there's no followup research to validate the new policies.

For example, Atul Gawanda attributes some of the reasonability for the opioid epidemic to updated standards of care for managing pain but then those advocates failing to do any followup studies to assess the outcomes.
Wouldn't many of the non-technical hurdles be reduced in the current situation? FDA approval steps for example have been relaxed for potential treatments. It's not my area, but I'm just curious what makes it so impossible or unlikely.

I don't think the title is helpful, but I agree with the gist of the article. We have a long way to go to achieve human-computer interfaces for naive users that are better than human-human-computer systems, where the human in the middle is a trained expert user working with a poweruser interface. This is basically what sales and customer support are for digital services and SaaS. I think we'll eventually get there, but it's a long road, with loads of open problems. This is why I'm optimistic about the career prospects of product engineers for the foreseeable future.

That's right. There's no shortage of (way more) efficient and cheaper public storage services that require a fraction of the management effort.

In a Unix system, files have 3 levels of permissions — for the user who owns the file, the group-of-users that owns the file, and any system user.

So, a given config file can have permissions so that the file owner can read and write, but other users cannot. Like your ssh keys.

But ‘ps’ can be run by anyone, and it can typically access the whole command line you used.

It's the synthetic stuff that's the problem. It's all bad, but this is directly related to Fentanyl and OxyContin. Oxies brought opiates to the suburbs and Fentanyl is what ends up killing you b/c it's in all the "normal" heroin these days.

The cycle is: get hurt, get prescribed oxies. Either you or your kids or whoever gets addicted. The prescription runs out or you run out of money and you switch to heroin, which I can assure you, was widely available before the Afghan war. What makes it so deadly now is that it's frequently cut with Fent.

Fentanyl is far easier to smuggle because it's _so_ much more potent than other opiates. Buy a bunch of precursor from China, smuggle a few kilos over the southern border, bam.

In any case, the poppy supply was not the limiting factor on production of prescription opioids. There are two developments that have driven this crisis: prescription opioids and fentanyl.
So about CPAP / BiPAP? If all one needs it to push air down the lungs a CPAP can produce a lot of pressure. Anyone knows enough about it?

If there's a fast, accurate, cheap test, I don't think compliance is going to be a big issue.

There will be a few people who have some issue with regular testing, the vast majority of people will be happy to have a tool that works.
You can use Twitter in many ways. But I treat it as a virtual town square. Some important info, some gossip & news, and plenty of conversations. People get to know me a little bit, and I get to know some people.

I'm well aware of this kernel bug report, but even with all the reported workarounds I was never able to get stable 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi to work. As that's also the case for other users I believe it's not justified to mark wifi as working.
If the roles were reversed, I would have a similar criticism of the other guy. Clearly, the loser didn’t want to pay because he contested it in court — and the victor could have forgiven the debt.

I've been trying since the Pentium III to use Linux on a laptop and have finally given up completely. I've tried on a variety of hardware, even with official support. Driver problems and battery life have always been an issue.

But... are we talking about the same XPS laptop? My wife's 13" XPS purchased ~2016 has had horrible reliability. The charging port died a long time ago, fortunately, it charges over USB-C. But now it no longer keeps a charge, won't sleep/hibernate properly (will cook with the lid closed), and more. A friend of mine bought the same one at the same time and his is also breaking down (keyboard problems).

I've tried to get her to switch to Mac, but she prefers Windows, so next time I'm buying her a Surface Laptop. HTH anyone considering the XPS.

My family has a lot of long-lost Italian influence (my father is called Mario, same as 5 other relatives including great-grandfather, uncles and cousins...) so I'm not surprised it's popular there! My family actually called it Biriba, which I learned is the name of the Greek variant, though our rules were closer to Buraco...

Now I wonder what your family rules are! A lot of people restrict the types of runs you can play (like only allowing grouped runs with for face cards and aces, or banning groups altogether), but my grandpa was a beast at the game so we played with pretty open rules which actually made the game more aggressive – i.e. wait too much to act and you'll fall behind, but play too open early on and you give away your strategy.

i have, and i agree that they've gotten really good. but my customers are still completely lost when they have to interact with theirs in any way. No matter how good the UI is, it still requires a mental model of how a router works (for example: the internet comes into your house on a wire, the box turns it into wifi, which comes out the antennas) that a lot of people just don't have.

There's an understanding that there's a box with blinky lights and without it there's no internet. You can't assume people understand anything beyond that.

The companies making classic consoles really missed an opportunity with this. Instead of making them temporary specialty items, they could have added a basic API and way to browse and download community games. I know this would have needed moderation and warning messages for the normal user, but it could have been a "developer mode".

Right now the closest thing we have is a linux system running emulation station. It at least has custom apps called "ports", but it's missing a built in app browser/downloader for those, though.

Atari was the closest to realize that potential but completely screwed it up. They put in an actual decent system but it made it too expensive. (https://atarivcs.com/) If this was around the $100 price point, I could see it doing amazingly well even if it was less powerful But more expensive than a nintendo switch? wtf

The pi absolutely has potential to be a programmable game console with the right distro and applications, it just isn't quite there yet.
I really would love to believe that this mindset is possible, but I run into the following problem:

If time really seems infinite to you, and you see the beauty in every "overly time-consuming" procedure, you must draw the line somewhere.

If you wait in line, and every minute, the next in line is served, and you are standing in 5th place, you might think "ok, we've got to wait..give or take 5mins"

Now imagine that every 50 seconds, someone cuts into the line ahead of you, with some plausible excuse (health-related, or "in a rush" or whatever else you'd accept).

How many people do you allow to push you back before you decide to no longer allow people to cut ahead of you? I think that's where you draw the value of your time.

Well, even that is not quite right. The amount of energy we can actually use is small relative to the total amount of available energy.

We're born with a relative lack of entropy, which is the only thing that allows us to do anything. Eventually we inevitably return to equilibrium.

Correct. The problems started with the 2015 12" MacBook and the 2016 MacBook Pro. Everything older than that should be supported pretty well by Linux.

BUSINESS concepts behind the scenes:

a) What people don't understand about the SE strategy, besides economies of scale and a smaller, more powerful phone, is that the device was made to offer extreme value targeting a demographic using a specific strategy called "Price skimming": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_skimming

The iPhone SE was designed to lower consumer's (Android users) barrier to entry (price) into the brand, to quickly gain market share, then sell them services or premium devices in the future. This is possible because of Apple's established reputation as a premium brand (as opposed to penetration pricing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_pricing

b) The "1st mover advantage" is a myth. Consider Facebook or Google, they gained near monopoly market share because they were first in their technology/approach, not market.

The 'Apple way' is to wait for competitors to test new markets and get consumer validation, lowering risks by learning from early competitor errors, then grab market share with a product that delivers a better UX due to its superior combination of technologies. Look at Fitbit's demise with the Apple Watch - Google is now trying to replicate its Android success by acquiring Fitbit- "2nd mover advantage" works if done right.

c) If a and b work, this will make no difference to users, considering that Apple's strategy will not be focused on apps (this is a strength in phones, not laptops), but rather to sell a value performance device for the general public.

The Macbook failed not because it targeted the wrong demographic (business users) vs Air (students and commoners) and Pro (other professionals), but because it failed to provide value as an 'entry level' device: low specs, highly priced - they (partly) wrongly assumed business users' willingness to pay a premium for portability (inelastic demand) without regard for the value.

Nevertheless, the Macbook offer (a 1st gen. test product) did serve its purpose by anchoring users to see the next better offer at hand- the Air. This strategy called "bundling" in 3 options: good (price), better (quality), best (both) often serves to guide users to avoid extremes by choosing the middle option (usually most profitable), also called the "center stage effect": https://kenthendricks.com/center-stage-effect/

I recommend reading Stanford consultants' "Monetizing Innovation" to understand these strategies: https://www.amazon.com/Monetizing-Innovation-Companies-Desig...

In short, if they can offer a value laptop (priced below ~$700, best deal ultrabooks at this range) in an old body design (12 inch) and best tech specs (A14 or ARM), then this could be Apple's 'Macbook SE' offer. Heck, even test a 1st generation with cheaper AMD's chipset.

Aside from the role of unethical opiod producers and marketers (which to be fair does fall under the umbrella of unregulated capitalism) weren't there plenty of preceding examples in Russia and even the USSR with first deaths by alcoholism and then later infamous krokodil deaths? The latter is more small scale addict enterprise even if it is again not exactly regulated capitalism. The point being that the system isn't the direct cause even if it allows it.
If I like macOS more than Windows why shouldn't I pick a MacBook?
Why shouldn't I pay 300/400 extra euros on a 2000 euros machine that I'll use everyday for 4/5 years if the software makes me happier/faster?

For me, the MacBooks still have the best build quality, trackpad, speakers, display resolution (instead of the FHD vs overkill 4K choice) and, more importantly, I just prefer macOS and its approach on laptops.
Furthermore, you can still sell a used macbook after years for quite high prices compared to the Windows alternatives.
Granted, I'd never buy some of Apple's products/configurations (like an iMac, the Mac Pro or the 16 MBP with 64 GB of RAM), but a base MBP with 16GB of RAM is more than adequate for me nowadays and it's not much more expensive than the alternatives.

If you don't care about the OS (or prefer Windows/linux), then obviously a macbook doesn't make any sense these days
I think it would be more useful to be intellectually-mature rather than old-fashioned. Focusing on the substance of the point being made is far more important (and honest) than focusing on the format of the argument or the person making the argument.
Modern green screen plugins/filters are miles better than what they used to be to the point that if the keying is hard, then the image must not have been produced well. By that, I mean an evenly list background (no light fall off producing gradients). Proper lighting of the subject. Proper distance from the background (helps reduce the edges and color tinting).

No, Microsoft doesn't get to "settle" a language issue.

This also reminds me that some (many?) French speaker believe upper-case accentuated letters (eg. É È À) are incorrect, just because it's impossible to type them on Windows (unless you know the right alt code, but most people don't) and typewriters.

I briefly worked on HuffPost Live, which was basically like this, but with a single stream of content. There were hosts and programming, but at any time, guests could audition to join a conversation. The dynamism of having guests of all levels of expertise on a topic was really compelling. I still feel like the project was ahead of its time. It also didn't have the elitism aspect for gaining access.

Probably because there are so many ludicrous theories that are just plain wrong, and likely they outnumber the crazy ideas that will turn out to be true. Just look at MMS / injecting bleach debacle going on.
Two spaces is probably wrong, but for typesetting it generally looks better to have slightly bigger spaces at the end of sentences, and if you need to stretch space it generally works better to do so at the end of sentences.

The key question is if the tasks and users value a differentiated output from using the software or not. If not, then the best UX is as streamlined and invisible as possible. Professional or power user doesn't mean much here, because they could value both things, streamlining and an abundance of options, it's domain dependent.
This is a presentation of a single counter study to Dunning-Kurger, with a heavy bias of being upset that DKE is used to deride Trump and people that believe in him.

The study presented used simulated data of perceived IQ vs measured (objective) IQ. The authors hypothesis was that the perceived IQ correlated to objective IQ line (i.e. the measure of how well perceived IQ could predict objective IQ) should curve upward. They base their claims on the interpretation of the curve fit without any degree of uncertainty. But the most annoying thing is they fit their graphs with different scales... the broader horizontal scale and narrower vertical scale of the simulated graph makes the curve more apparent, which leads me to question their rigor at fairly evaluating the hypothesis. Would also like to know more about the population and data collection methods.

Also, all the political stuff wasn't really needed to discuss the effect... so I'm going to mentally classify this as right-wing spam.
