You cut out the meat of the advice. The point is that you may not need the tools to last a lifetime; you buy a cheap set first, and then replace the ones you actually use with the quality ones, for the reasons you explain. This prevents you from spending excess money on tools you don't use.
>Everything that is with knowing was written in English or has been translated to it.

Noam Chomsky must have believed this too; when he was prince of linguistics he considered trying to save or document dying languages a waste of time and unfashionable.

It effectively resulted in a language genocide.

It's hubris to think English will contain all of the answers.

> If everyone goes back to normal too early, this all just starts over, and folks are forced to be inside even longer, there's just no way around it.

This whole thing just starts over if we EVER go back to normal unless a vaccine is invented. Herd immunity is impossible to achieve during an effective lockdown. It's not like we're any closer to being able to safely resume activities than one month ago. A highly infectious disease with asymptomatic carriers cannot be eradicated.

I hate people saying generic statements like "we have to stay inside until its safe" with no reason to believe its getting safer.

Yeah, but Scandinavians are civilized ;)

Seriously though, Scandinavia is proof that you can have a free market and social programs at the same time and have it work well. It's when bureaucrats get their fingers into planning the economy when things end up very poorly.
Could just be the job is acceptable at the top of the range and not the bottom. A company might not value the employee to the top of the range but the employee may equally not value the job at anything but the top of that range.
I agree with you, but...

eventually we will see a de-dollarization (there is a good book out with this name, which I recommend).

The thing that is really helping the USA now is that even countries that have been diligently working for de-dollarization do not want it to happen all at once. They want to slowly ease out of using the dollar for the reserve currency. I think that this may give us another decade of “owning” the reserve currency - that said, my friends correctly accuse me of over optimism, and I may be wrong about this.
I don’t know that you need to be much more disciplined to write a large application in a module way vs writing any application in a modular way. A monolith could definitely get messy though if you write them how I see people write microservices.

Firefox is at least objectively equal from a perceptive performance perspective. Chrome still has some wins that mostly stem from market share and what benefits come with that (people test in chrome first). I still main FireFox and promote it to anyone that cares to listen but as a web developer even I test in Chrome first because usually that is where most of my audience is.

Thanks for your comments. I'll be updating the readme to better reflect it..

I've just added the midas struct, in which you can do the following:

```

m := midas.NewMidasModel(2, 769, 9460)

m.FitPredict(2,3,1) // inputs will be your src,dst and time (from your stream)

m.FitPredict(2,3,1) // same here

```

The MidasR model is next. :)
That opens an entirely new can of worms, called "file locking & unix".

Usually these multiple processes have some agreed way to take their turn on writing; or they use library like sqlite (or berkeley db in the past), that library brings that mutually-agreed locking mechanism with it.

Image Augmentation Is All You Need: Regularizing Deep Reinf Learning Fr Pixels
We propose a simple data augmentation technique that can be applied to standard model-free reinforcement learning algorithms, enabling robust learning directly from pixels without the need for auxiliary losses or pre-training. The approach leverages input perturbations commonly used in computer vision tasks to regularize the value function. Existing model-free approaches, such as Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), are not able to train deep networks effectively from image pixels. However, the addition of our augmentation method dramatically improves SAC's performance, enabling it to reach state-of-the-art performance on the DeepMind control suite, surpassing model-based (Dreamer, SLAC, PlaNet) methods and recently proposed contrastive learning (CURL). Our approach can be combined with any model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, requiring only minor modifications.

And if you do it repeatedly, then suddenly one day you'll realize you can make good original work.

The same is true about learning anything else. Personally, when I've been first starting programming, I learned a lot of useful programming techniques by stealing bits and pieces from videogames and demos whose source was available and incorporating them into my own attempts at writing a game engine.
Do we even need side effects? Most programs seem to be about transforming some input to an output and/or storing/retrieving state in a transactional manner. Perhaps I/O and transactional storage could be kept outside a language and instead be managed by its containing environment?

For example, console I/O: The input from the console could be transformed (possibly with some state) and sent back out (possibly triggering an associated state update) as a fairly natural pure function call. It would have the type state -> input -> (state', output), and the 'runtime' would be responsible for gluing this all together.

Why Does Covid-19 Make Some People So Sick? Ask Their DNA
You're getting downvotes but it's true. There are other considerations that are completely being ignored by the ivory tower types. It's shocking to some, but jobs are how people afford to live their lives (buy food, pay rent, pay tax which funds government, etc).

I'm more concerned about social and political unrest that often results from mass unemployment, people losing their homes, not enough to eat, etc than losing people to the virus (which still stucks). 22 million unemployed and growing is enough to swing elections in dark directions...
To make matters even worse, the jobs those kids would get to offset a lack of schooling won't be available now.

I don't know if they'll be roaming the streets (the police in America are pretty unforgiving), but I can certainly say they will have it worse than ~2001 and ~2008 graduates.
Partly because, for those who can, there's no where else to "save" money due to already depressed interest rates.

Seconding this. Most of the issues I've had doing manual work has been a result of using cheap or inadequate tools. I don't often find myself thinking "that expensive set of pliers didn't do as good of a job as the cheap set at the dollar store." Whereas every time I buy a cheap tool to do the job it inevitably breaks or fucks up.

For example, once I was trying to run some stainless steel wire to make a cheap curtain rod across some windows. I had assumed that the stainless steel crimp jackets could be crimped with some physical strength and a set of pliers. It was an absolute disaster and finally I broke down and bought a special set of pliers for crimping the stainless steel jackets. They were about 4x as much money as the pliers I was using but they did the job swiftly and efficiently without damaging anything.

I often also see the most expensive tool doing the job more poorly, so I would revise the rule to "spend as much money on a tool as it takes to get the correct set of features and level of durability to do the job." For example, the $4.00 caulk gun does a better job than the $20.00 caulk gun because the $20.00 caulk gun doesn't come with a built-in cutter or a plug popper. So you're paying 4x as much for a tool that can't complete the entire caulking job. So buy the $4.00 caulk gun because the built-in cutter means you never have to risk cutting the caulk outlet wonky again, and the caulk job will be much easier.

AR Contact Lens Creator Mojo Vision Gets Funding Boost
So, how is it that people employed in essential businesses have not become rich in this pandemic? After all they are in high, crucial demand and could/should command better wages than programmers at this time. Sure, some of those raises would increase the price of goods, but that would be offset by hefty UBI checks to everyone. How is it that people who endanger their lives working in supermarkets don't get raises, but developers (whose contribution to the pandemic was "lets make another surveillance toy") get to work from home and still get their full paychecks? I'm sure someone will find a great excuse why it's wrong to think that and some other economicky argument. But something feels wrong about it.

Hope better days for you man, but those other jobs in leisure sector will not recover for a long time unfortunately. Do you think that they can somehow use the itnernet to keep businesses alive?

The problem is that since this Better C is not compatible with any C dialects, and requires a D compiler, there is no reason to restrict D programs to this subset. At least no reason that is related to simply working in something better than C. The real reasons can be articulated better, starting with a different name, like "Reduced D" (D that avoids garbage collection, exceptions and/or has a smaller footprint or whatever). How about "Dm": D Minor: a sad subset of D.

A subset of C++ is a better C, that can be written in such a way that C compilers translate it, so that is meaningful. Well, at least a slightly better C, anyway.

Once upon a time I worked a contract gig at a credit union in the US. My first day in the datacenter (ground floor), I noticed the grill from a late 90s/early 2000 Ford F-150 pickup truck hanging on the wall above the door frame. I pointed it out and asked "why is that on the wall?"

The building was like many bank buildings, 4-5 stories, all glass exterior, off a busy main road. In particular, this building was parallel to the busy main road.

Turns out, the busy main road was perpendicular to another road, which lined up almost perfectly with the datacenter on the first floor. One Saturday night, a drunk driver ran the stop sign on the side street, blasted through the field leading up the datacenter, and drove their truck straight into the building, right through the offices surrounding the main server room. The force of the crash blew bricks across the room in all directions and missed the raised floor by maybe 3 meters.

Surprisingly, nothing went down. The datacenter now has "bulletproof" glass on that portion of the exterior, poles installed into the ground in front of the glass, and an earth berm raised above the road.

The sysadmins found the truck grill inside one of the offices under a desk. They kept it and hung it on the wall as a reminder to plan for any sort of disaster.

I agree with this post but can you clarify what you mean by "you would never end up with stale bits of UI"? What do you mean by "stale bits"? An example of the problem would be useful... and also why the "rerender everything" is a solution to such problem.

For instance I already see that something like Mobx that has observable state doesn't need to re-render everything and still gives you guarantees about not having stale values (thanks to the way observable works with it).
I am against ending the lockdown early as well and disagree in no uncertain terms with those who are trying to minimize the pandemic. However, I don't think it's unreasonable to start wondering whether the economic and political damage may ultimately outweigh the lives saved. If anyone thinks populism spawning extremists and getting them into public office was bad now, imagine the tsunami of public anger and populism that will occur caused by immense (even, dare I say it, pandemic) unemployment and poverty, which is where we're headed full steam. When things get tough, people shift into a "me first" mentality that is incompatible with the philosophies of many HNers.

That's true, but "much harder" != "impossible". If you print enough dollars, there will come a point at which it will stop being the world's reserve currency. The only way to find out where that point is is to actually cross it. That will be a very painful experiment to conduct. If we ever get to that point, the world will learn the meaning of the word "hysteresis".
