I sometimes wonder what a syntactically clarified regex could look like. There are two things that often confuse newcomers:

- What are escapes are and what needs to be escaped?

- The <character-class><repetitions> structure of a regex.

- Syntax around things like capture (is the parens part of some matcher? what to escape?)

We should have a version of regex that separates characters, character classes and operators, or whatever the regex jargon for those things are. Half the things I usually want to regex for, like parens on a function or dot accessors need to be escaped!

A quick example for illustration purposes (please don't point out why this grammar wont map to regex):

<startofline>(['a' or 'b']<2,4,greedy>, captureAs="prefix")[number or '.']<2><endofline>

is definitely more approachable and easier to explain than the regex equivalent (which I'm avoiding to write because I don't have time to test if I got capture syntax right).

Maybe someone makes a wasm regex-simple transformer we can use in multiple languages. Regex is too useful to have such a scary syntax for newcomers!

Why would used cars drop in price? Since no one is buying new cars there's no supply of used cars. Lower supply means increased prices but demand is probably down as well so almost no change.
>Nikon will just end up hurting themselves in the long-run.

IMHO tis is a desperate move from Nikon to increase profit, which might work in the short run but might mean it’s death, i’m a “prosumer” photog and after long years and lots of money in gear last year i decided to switch to sony mirrorless getting new gear in the process, Nikon used to be great some time ago and even having on-site techs giving tech support and repairs at big events where lots of press where working, whenever you needed a part you just call an 1-800 number and in a few days you had them shipped. Now you need to risk shipping your gear to most likely be returned to you ater a month with a non-repairable note and the charges for the service. Sad to see you going down Nikon.
I agree with you 100%

Apple's primary carrot and stick here will be the Mac App Store. Whether they split the product line between ARM and Intel, or go for a full transition to ARM, they'll mandate that apps on the App Store be universal binaries. The challenge as usual will be ISVs that don't distribute through the App Store and want to drag their heels (eg. Adobe, who always prefers ignoring Apple's roadmap in the hopes that they won't have to update their own code).
This is one of Nicki's best explorables yet. I wish that this had had more upvotes.

Yes, because that didn't exist before. And what's with the wiki links to the commonly-understood terms? Condescending much?

We re looking for a C++ macOS & Windows developer for our Computing Monetization project who can work on low level / especially GPU across platforms (windows / MAC)a plus if you have experience in crypto mining

MASSIVE is a fully distributed company headquartered in the USA. MASSIVE is a well-funded startup with founders, advisors, and investors that have been successful on many other, well-known projects (ask for more info by email)

The MASSIVE SDK is an ethical alternative to current online monetization. The SDK lets developers charge their users for premium services and in-app items with a little bit of their unused computing resources, rather than money or ads. We can generate up to $0.50 per user per month.
The SDK works by analyzing available resources across Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android devices and making that supply accessible to computing needs on the demand side, including scientific calculations, cryptocurrency mining, monte carlo simulations, bandwidth sharing, and IP address in an intelligent way (almost invisible / realtime load balancing)

Job requirement
Experience with GPU programming, we re looking to optimize our code /
Experience with GPU cryptocurrency mining would be ideal but we re open to anyone who is passionate about high performance computing at a low level and who can work across platforms

Look at cars and walking.
That doesn’t sound like a thing apple would do. The big reason to switch from intel to arm is not performance, it is two reasons: cost and control. Apple is no doubt getting a nice discount from intel, but they can make something with similar performance for a fraction of the cost. The new iphone se is faster than the macbook air, but it costs less than half. The cpu is a big part of that equation. In addition, apple is currently tied to intel’s roadmap, a situation which they surely want to end. Cost and control will drive them to switch the whole line-up.

I expect the transition to be done before the end of 2022, with intel support being dropped from the latest OS two years later, and no more macOS updates for intel-based macs two years after that.
I think that lending will be tightening up as well.
Doubt used will be impacted at all, if much. People are always looking for good deals on used cars, and most sellers dont immediately need to get rid of them, they can wait for a year or half a year and wont really depreciate that much.
That looks amazing, nice job! I was trying to create a seb dashboard with several graphs each with a few hundred data points recently. None of the libraries felt "snappy" on a mobile device in terms of load time or responsivity. I ended up abandoning the proejct because of that, but if only I knew about this library at the time...

The only thing I wish µPlot had is support for tooltips rather than numbers in the legend, but that's a small price to pay for this level of performance.
I've been using Rust a lot recently, which puts names before types and inputs before outputs, and I will absolutely attest to how much mental work is saved by ordering things this way. Skimming or reading Rust comes twice as easy as reading Java, and I do a lot of both. Sure it's an anecdotal report, but I have a real sense here that I feel compelled to report.

As other posters have stated, this order makes parsing easier. But I also suggest this benefit extends to your own brain's parsing ability as well. The old order is indirect and suboptimal and makes you think harder.
It's web-based.
That's what I thought this was going to be about.

For anyone else wondering what we're talking about: the o_C has four control voltage and four gate inputs and four CV outputs. It uses the Teensy microcontroller, and the hardware and software are open source. Others have shrunk the design to produce the micro-Ornament&Crime, of which I have one in my modular setup. I use it to re-tune CV input from 12-tone equal temperament to a just tuning. You can do a lot of other things with it, though.

As far as I know, no one is mass-producing the things so if you want one you either have to build one yourself or find someone willing to build you one. (I bought mine from a local guy that did a small batch.)

> I'm not a huge fan of overly verbose commit messages. They can make the job of compiling release notes annoying.

Commit messages have little to do with releases or release notes. I'd argue either your commits or your release notes are most likely wrong in some way if you are doing that.
The parent said "most of the US's peer countries manage to get along quite well without anything like it", which is a bit vague, but you have to think about how all the peer countries have done in the last 240 years. Remember that the USA's peers from 1776 weren't Sweden, Germany, and England, they would have been the Latin American countries, and other colonies like India. The USA has definitely done better than any of its peers from 1776.

The USA went from being a backwater that produced cotton and tobacco to being the pre-eminent global economic and military power, and it did this while avoiding totalitarianism and (devastating) war on the home front (i.e. WWi and WWii did little damage to the continental USA). Even the countries that started off far ahead of the USA (Germany, England, Sweden, etc.) have had much worse journeys over the past 240 years.

I'm studying psychology and team dynamics and this is such a great example of conflict destroying the relationship. Want to share couple of thoughts on how we can avoid sacrificing the relationship.

-I'm 'The responsible'. Yes, as leaders, we are responsible for the results, at the same time there are people above us who is responsible for the results more than us. The responsibility is never on the shoulders of a single person in the company. When higher-ups support anti-leaders (as in this case), they take on some of our responsibility, and the honest discussion about their expectations is required. There could be lots of reasons for them being not confident in me driving the team, and it would be very beneficial to get their feedback before proceeding. Our assumptions and using formal understanding of the roles is only helping to fuel the conflict.

-The 'I know' trap. We really believe in our understanding of the future, it is always linear and always clear. At the same time, future we understand consists of 2 things: all the bad stuff happened to me before and all the good stuff happened to me before and depending on our feelings right now, we are projecting the mix of those 2 into the future. The question here is where is that 3rd category of all the thing that never happened to me? Where are the things I've never experienced? What if I don't know how this will play out? To me, creativity is something not known and something haven't been done before. Allowing ourselves to not know exactly how it will play out, helps us to keep an open mind and learn from the new experiences.

In other words we are never 100% responsible for controlling everything around us and the world is a bit more complicated than we want to believe. Hoping this was useful! Happy Friday!

ack. I disagree that pointing out juxtapositions is name calling but understand the meta intentions.
I used to obsess about buying a car and thought dealers were the devil to be avoided. But once I got older and started working, I got over that; and my latest car purchase went something like this: 1. pick a car I wanted 2. look around online for what the dealer's price is (understood it's not accurate) 3. go into the dealer and tell them I want car X for $Y-300. 4. Let the dealer try to sell me the car on the lot that was the wrong trim and color, stick to the original car, accept $Y+200 for the price, then sign the paperwork and wait for the delivery. 5. Few months later, come in, sign more paperwork, drive away in new car.

The whole process was pretty pleasant, people were pleasant, the car was great, and now I still come over to get it serviced.

In retrospect they were a little too eager to accept my offer which was way below sticker, so I was probably off on their factory price, but I figure I'm fortunate that I can afford to not obsess about a +/- $1k and do better things with my life :)
I see the new BackThen service is only accessible through mobile apps. There was a perfectly serviceable web interface on Lifecake, and I am very reluctant to install yet another app for something I use relatively infrequently.
At least in the Parisian context, moving people to bikes is probably the most cost effective way to green transport, since the trains are all packed to the gills and getting some people on bikes is a cheaper way of making space than spending billions of euros on new lines (which they are also doing, but it's good to have more than one arrow in the quiver.)
It's okay, most experts thought the earth was flat at some point. If you want to learn more about goverments' approach to many health issues I encourage you to read on the history of the concept of hormesis. While the first studies show ionizing radiation to be harmful at any level, of course they later founded researchers who came up with this theory so plenty of lawsuits could be avoided. I already live most aspects of my life as a top 1%, so if there is any risk that EMF can have harmful consequences and it is within my control, I'll mitigate it. 99% percent of the population don't care, don't believe, it's okay. Primary housing in a secluded area? Check. Wired Networking? Check. Non industrialized nutrition on point? Check.

Think there is no theory behind the impact of EMF on living organisms? Might want to read on how cells maintain ions in balance, through passive and active diffusion through the membrane. Easily altered with EMF, can our cells adapt? Sure. Could this adaptation bring other issues/degeneration? Sure
Cocaine, and/or illicit substances.
We're releasing about two integrations per month (April was trello import and Github bi-directional sync) so we should get there soon! Our speed of shipping integrations is getting faster with time however.
Compared to maintaining a OCP cluster? Sure it is easy peasy - I can vouch for that having done both.
If you're buying a used car from a private party, you're not doing it on financing.

If you're buying a used car from a dealer, with financing, you must be truly desperate. A lot of people are desperate, though...
Yes, I look forward to their settlement, I'm sure it'll be something like "We'll frown in your direction if you do this again for the 18th time".

Honestly, why are we talking about the SEC as if they have anything to do with anything.

Speaking at a personal level, if you consume news media you're more likely to be depressed. For this reason alone you shouldn't read the news. After all, do you really need to know about every single legislative and political minutiae that's the flavor of the day?

The rest of planet agrees with me. News media is very untrusted (last I read it's somewhere around 60% untrustworthy), and the industry is rapidly dying.

Faced with impending doom, the journalists at the helm of those corporate monstrosities sought to double down on lies and clickbait. Open up the Network tab on any news website these days and you'll see all the tracking and advertising garbage they've resorted to as well.

By reading news, you're supporting this behavior and also (statistically speaking) doing yourself harm in the process.
> The ident: Type syntax let’s developers focus on the name by placing it ahead of its type annotation.

I agree with the sentiment, but that apostrophe is bugging me.
> Plus for communities, it’s more beneficial than they’re locally owned versus all of the money flowing out.

It means a new concentrated powerful special interest in their local area can outbid them, in their diffuse helplessness, in influencing politics.
I don’t agree, but I appreciate this perspective. The reason I don’t agree is SEO is effective where it has moved into the areas of analytics, PR and content marketing, not in its distinct practices (backlink building and on-page optimizations.) In sufficiently complex operations there’s value in having someone weigh in on those efforts collectively, but that’s just project management.

This is obviously a different situation than 10-15 years ago, but there still are so many companies who are still trying to pay for services that made sense in that era.

You certainly do need to attend to business needs. I work at an agency and that’s a big part of my job. I’ve recommended “implementing an SEO program” many times because that’s what will get a budget to do work that will lead to improve searches. It’s not SEO, though, just the Ship of Theseus described above, sold using a term that prevents useless or harmful SEO from being purchased elsewhere.

I love stories like this..ones that hit you as a child that completely change the direction of your life.
About 1% of the male population has a sexual interest in children. Most of these people will never act on that interest, but some of them do go on to commit offences.

There is a range of jargon, and that makes searching for information a bit trickier.

OCSE = online child sexual exploitation. CSEA = Child sexual exploitation and abuse. CSAM = child sexual abuse material.

Here are some UK stats:

> Law enforcement agencies in the UK are currently arresting around 450 individuals and safeguarding over 600 children each month through their efforts to combat online CSE.

> In the UK alone, it is estimated there are 80,000 people who present a sexual threat to children online.

> Statistics from the National Crime Agency (NCA) show that last year 2.88 million accounts were registered globally across the most harmful child sexual abuse dark web sites, with at least 5% believed to be registered in the UK.

These are good reports, although they're obviously written from a child protection viewpoint.

MimbleWimble makes pretty good tradeoffs. It improves on both privacy and scalability, while sacrificing transparent supply auditability.

It also does away with all the bitcoin script complexity while still supporting most functionality with "scriptless scripts" including multisig outputs, atomic swaps, discreet log contracts, and even payment channels.

The MBA is a temporary aberration. The plan is to have that segment dominated by iPads. It's just taken a bit too long to figure out the right form factor (i.e. you really, really need a keyboard). I expect MBAs will eventually be dropped - again.

The real issue is MBPs.
Thanks. I will try to add them as soon as possible.
