I came to the conclusion a while ago that the current situation is essentially a mental "trap" for people who are "big thinkers" used to being able to look at large, complex problems and come up with reasonable plans to solve them. There's just an impossible amount of variables and every choice is "wrong" in that it has unconscionable downsides. There are no "good" solutions to Covid-19 only horrific solutions at every turn.
Companies of that size are going to have standardized contracts and take it or leave it terms. 'Finance' (really procurement) does not have the time or bandwidth to sit there and negotiate terms & conditions with individual freelancers- anything you proposed would have to be run by Legal, then get redlined, etc. You can't negotiate with them
Sure. But having even basic crossplatform GUI support baked in is a pretty major thing. I haven't tried to work with McCLIM before (and it's not crossplatform anyway) and the other Common Lisp option is Qtools, which seems rather more complicated than the integrated GUI stuff in Racket.
At least that's Microsoft's motto
Ventilators do lots of damage. If this gets the O2 up it's better since natural breathing doesn't break lung tissue.
I want to know more about the circumstances that led up to this. What situation results in someone saying "I'll let you $500k I can beat you at Rock, Paper, Scissors..." And actually being willing to follow through?
Raspbian was close to this last time I checked. You have to click the start menu, and pick the right development environment, but they have a few good looking options.
That definition of cross-platform is a bit too narrow for my taste. I think a more reasonable definition of "cross-platform" would be "covers 2 or more roughly equal platforms". I mean no-one expects an app developed for a windows workstation to run (and be usable) on an andriod phone, even if it used a cross platform framework. But most would expect to be able to run it on linux or mac.
The ruling has never been vague, except for the HN commenters who didn't read the ruling but a summary of it.
Replacing GNU has already been done, but that isn’t the point. The point is that without projects like Debian, there is no operating system.

FWIW the whole GNU/Linux pedantry bothers me too.

You can redefine terms any way you like, but coercion in response to coercion is still coercion. That's not an "economy void of coercion", just one where the monopoly on violence has been replaced by a free market of violence.

After all, if the person squatting on what you consider to be your property doesn't recognize your claim of ownership, it would seem that you pose a greater threat to them than they do to you, especially if you're trying to remove them from the property when they're not presenting an immediate threat of physical harm.
There's no maybe about it; you clearly misremembered if you thought Jez murdered a girlfriend's dog and then purposely fed it to her. Not only that, but it's uncharacteristic of any of the characters on the show.

The premise of the episode can be boiled down to the following:

1. Jez meets attractive girl.
2. Jez wants to date this girl (they get along well).
3. Jez accidentally does something that would prevent #2 from happening.
4. Jez tries his darndest to hide his mistake.
5. The truth gets found out and girl casts Jez away.

The entire ordeal is comical because Jez makes repeated efforts to hide the dog's corpse and fails at every turn. The only really "dark" thing about the episode is that the dog was pregnant, which was only briefly mentioned (and easily forgotten).
This, exactly.

The fixation on RCTs has kinda become "a meme" at this point. However it's lives on the line in some situations.

Not everything can be double-blind. Not every experiment can be ethically done with a placebo (or done at all).

Also the placebo effect is real but it is more pronounced in things like back pain or headaches, not so much in broken bones or aggressive viruses.
I’ll add idle usage. VirtualBox shaves one-two hours off my MBP’s battery while Fusion leaves it untouched.

Vbox graphics performance also left much to be desired: e.g dragging a terminal window around was slow, produced insane tearing and huge performance impact, and no amount of tuning would help; I’m not even talking about 3D stuff, this is just some plain X lightweight WM without a compositor. No such issue on Fusion, where I just imported the same VM.
And `pyenv` [1], for Python.

I came into `nodenv` after being a regular user of `pyenv` for a while. Started with `nvm`, but wished for something more pyenv-like.

There is also `asdf` [2], which seems even more generic. On paper it looks interesting, but I haven't found a solid reason to switch out of `pyenv` and `nodenv`.

Has anyone tried `pyenv` and/or `nodenv` and switched to `asdf`?

They shouldn't. If I seemed to imply that above, then I didn't articulate my point well.

Going to Harvard, etc. is not about getting the best education (public schools like the University of California system are great), it's about acquiring prestige. It's about the connections and networking to ascend to the highest levels of society. The flaw being that such networking is important, as opposed to more meaningful forms of achievement.

> Why would they suddenly start dying just because 'hospitals are overwhelmed'? They still won't need them...

Also, when hospitals are overwhelmed they stop all treatment. That young person who gets shot; has a road traffic accident; has a drug or alcohol overdose; has a problematic pregnancy and birth; has cancer -- all of these treatments become harder to provide.
I’m sure this is the last of their concerns, but the word “disposable” and “daily” immediately made me think, “great, more garbage.”

It would be nice if they could figure out a recycling system — or at least make sure the vials are made of somewhat environmentally neutral glass — out of the gate, rather than have another problem to solve after there are millions of these out there

My favorite entry in that competition was Fork Bot.

The contestants were written in C, you see, and all rounds of play executed in the same process. Obviously there's all kinds of ways you could cheat in this environment but Fork Bot struck me as especially clever.

Fork Bot, on its turn, would fork() twice and return a different move in each of the three resulting processes. On its next turn, it would look back to the previous turn and see if it won. If not, it would exit(). So only the process where it won every round would survive...

Though, it ran into a problem with one of the other cheaters: "Unfortunately, since all three moves lost to the Psychic Friends Network after the first turn, the program exited and the remainder of that match was declared forfeited."

“Run Commands”. These text files contain commands that are to be run during startup, like when starting a new bash session, for example.
that’s kind of (not as eloquently) how i came to land on the labor theory of value needing to be more prominent in economic policy.

our application of energy (both physical and mental) transforms matter and collects/redirects ambient energy to productive use. that’s what generates value—gold in the ground is essentially worthless until we use labor to extract it. that it’s rare and has other interesting properties that make people trade more for it should be reflected in the labor value rather than some coercive capital value.
There are built in mutable data structures now too: https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/transient

Though their usage in public interfaces is not idiomatic Clojure and they come closely coupled with functions to transform them back to immutable values.

You can look up eg TransientArrayMap in ClojureScript internals to see how it's implemented on that side: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/799d62fe3bba99...
The only thing "high end" in there are the switches, and even that not necessarily.
Personal opinion to your 2 problems:
1. Work with your teammates to figure out what is the best for the company. It may be hard, due to communication, personality, etc. But the bright side is now you get a chance to show your skill, your leadership. Maybe you are able to be the lead of the engineering team after 2 years, and become a partner of the company owner. If you feel the senior is making bad decisions frequently, talk to them, talk to their boss, talk to the company owner, WITH PROVE.
(if the company's culture is truly toxic, quitting the job is also a good option).

2. don't worry about test. the most popular open source project(linux kernel) do not have test code. it is overrated. When you interview for a job, nobody will ask you how good you are in writing tests. If I were you, I would prefer no test code required, so that I can focus on learning more important stuffs to grow myself: design pattern, infrastructure consideration.

3. about ML: you don't need degree. if you can be top 10 in kaggle, nobody cares your degree. If you truly like ML, you probably don't care about the job. How do you learn ML: google, online courses, and the most important: projects. The best case is that you can work for a company that is willing to hire you as a software engineer but then they allow you to work on ML projects. But this is kind of luck and you have to do google search to find that type of company.
But, getting a degree and naturally getting hired as a ML engineer would be safer plan if you have decided ML is what you like. But there is cost: time and money.
Who? A certain strain of Reagan/Bush conservative intellectuals of that era. David Frum’s 1994 book “Dead Right” talks about it briefly (he mostly lambasts it from the right). It should be mentioned this view fell into the memory hole of politics after Clinton’s victories in the 90s. For obvious reasons for being both wrong and politically toxic for supply-siders.
Better to point people at the official instructions, to give them context about the thing you suggest them to sudocurl: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#debinstall .

Installation nit aside, nodesource is my preferred way to upgrade node on Debian/Ubuntu:

1. It's "just a newer version" of the OS-packaged version! As simple/vanilla as can be.

2. No shell magic making it unclear whether programs running out of the shell will pick up your nvm-managed version of node (most of the time, they won't)

3. And if someday I need to try something on $OLDNODE, it's not much less convenient than nvm: I can just download the deb for $OLDNODE and install it anytime. Then, if you configure your apt cache to keep .debs in /var/cache/apt, switching between versions like nvm does is a matter of just running `sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/node-whatever.deb`. (Sure, it's a bit slower than nvm: a few seconds of install rather than milliseconds of updating a symlink in nvm; still I prefer it for reasons 1. and 2.)

The war in Afghanistan played a large part in this. Where do you think all the poppies came from to start mass producing oxycontin?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/investigations/...

Not only prescription opioids but heroin became a big problem again right around the early 2000's.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/afghan-heroin-...

>Until a few years ago, most heroin came from an opium-producing region in Southeast Asia called the "golden triangle," a mountainous area of around 350,000 square kilometres overlapping Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.

>Roughly 92 per cent of the world's heroin comes from opium poppies grown in Afghanistan, according to the 2007 World Drug Report, released in June by the United Nations Office on Drugs.

>Afghan heroin typically flows into Canada through two main trafficking arteries, Mr. Nadeau said: via the porous border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and then onto India and, finally, Canada; and, from Afghanistan to western Africa, then through the United States into Canada.

The one thing the Taliban was actually pretty good about was getting rid of the poppy fields.

> Are they using machines from before 2010 and some system resources is a limiting factor?

This is the most annoying thing with developers: many of them believe that a normal laptop from around 2010 is "underpowered" and everybody's using the latest macbook pro or some high-end device. But the majority of people use average computers with 4-8GB RAM and some random CPU. Most machines don't run on high-quality fast SSDs.

Also, the app is perfectly following the user guidelines of usable OSes: pre Win8 Windows and pre Gnome3 Linux. Those icons from the "90s" make sense and communicate their functionality well, because they adhere to some convention and are not pure fluff like FontAwesome et al. are. The sheer ignorance of dev community wrt. usability both in design and in performance is sad. Desktop is where people get work done and the bastardized mobile interfaces Win8, Gnome 3, and Electron brought there are nothing but an obstacle. Macs seem to not have gone to that direction yet, but slowly "advancing".

It's telling that none of the widely used IDEs---Even Android Studio or XCode---don't adhere to these bullshit "interface guidelines".

At attractions and large events, maybe an app (or just a database linked to some sort of ID) to prove a person has passed the screening that day (or recently enough), so it doesn't all need to be done at the attraction/event itself?

For this purpose the screening would probably have to be carried out at locations that could confirm the sample came from the right person at the right time.
Agree. Also where do people think Google gets its answers? It comes from stuff like that. There will be many more people that Google than don't.

Visitors are using public resources that are normally funded by taxes, and depending on the ratio of visitors to residents this can really turn out to be an unfair deal for residents - see any small coastal town whose population inflates 40% when it's tourist season.

An occupation tax is because you're using public resources and don't normally pay taxes to that jurisdiction.

A bit of free legal advice: you shouldn’t rely on others’ contract forms without having a lawyer review them for your own needs.

There are a number of potential issues with this contract from a freelancer’s point of view:

* It’s generally pro-customer form and is missing certain protections like a limitation on the amount of direct damages

* Lots of capitalized terms are not defined—for example, there is no definition for the freelancer’s preexisting works which are to be excluded from the assignment of IP ownership

* The company gets to decide how much to pay the freelancer if the contract is terminated before the project is complete—it’s more common to have this be based on T&M rates or something more objective
Part of the restructure will be to perform an audit. When it is shown the fed has acted outside their purview, the federal government can legally argue the debt is null and void.

Like most things related to remote work, you just have to be more formal in the the approach. Our team has successfully developed several cohorts of college hires remotely. You have to give them consistent (daily, for hours) access to mentoring/senior resources via scheduled time, keep design or other higher level meetings public and make sure the juniors know they are invited to attend, and make clear to the junior devs that they are a priority so they can feel free to ping anyone on the team whenever they need help, plus make clear to the rest of the team that helping the junior devs is a priority.

Keeping an eye in the jrs work item completion rate and eliciting if there is a problem when it slows down also helps

It's not a matter of choosing what the period does. It's a matter of codifying what it already does. Certainly, you can treat "3 lbs." as a regular word. That is another use case for a period, which also needs to be handled. That also means that a period can either appear inside a word, or between words.

The long story is that a period can mean many, many different things.

I know that it is almost impossible to even hope for in c++ due to finalizers and things like that. I don't know enough about the borrow checker to know if there are similar problems in rust. I have noticed that LLVM does sibling recursion (LLVM's name for self and like-typed function TCO) quite often for release builds by inspecting the assembly output. I have never actually had it not happen, which speaks for it being possible, at least for sibling recursion that does not pass into extern functions.

"become" became reserved before rust 1.0. One could maybe just let it guarantee LLVM sibling recursion as a starting point and maybe extend it with proper TCO later.
