Pragmatically, it's defense, and then offense. Operationally, hunkering down needs to be rigorous. For me, the most interesting bits are at the tail, on offense. Locate potential markets as going up or down and ephemerally due to COVID or longer term sustainably. That's a 2x2. Net, the author recommends preparing to hunker 2 to 3 years...

I also question the value and cost of syntactic sugar like chained comparison operators, negative indexes, even semantically significant whitespace/indentation.

They let the programmer take shortcuts, but unless they're always attentive of their implicit behavior, can be a source of subtle bugs.

I say that as a one-time enthusiastic user of CoffeeScript, which felt so refreshing and elegant at first. Over time, especially working with other people's codebases, I came to a personal conclusion that it's not worth the convenience.

Syntax sugar can hide logic that would be better explicit. Even if it feels verbose, there's value in being able to see exactly what's happening.

An example of the latter that I've heard occasionally, is how error handling is done in Go. Every single function call that can return an error must be explicit handled (as far as I know). There could have been some sugar to make it simpler, but they preferred to keep it verbose. That was the right decision, in my opinion, and other aspects of the language give me the impression that it's a consistent design philosophy.
> I don't really care what my classmates think of me. I'm not there tomake them happy.

That remark shows a complete lack of understanding of your situation, your best interests, and social awareness.

In the very least, your role is to ensure your peers don't become a roadblock on your path to progress. The least you should aim for is to leverage your classmates as facilitators by helping you lower the difficulty curve.

By completely disregarding your classmates you are effectively doing the stupidest thing you could do, other than antagonizing both the student body and teachers: make your life harder just because you are totally oblivious to the importance of living in society
It is fantastically illustrated propaganda, but still propaganda.

No, those are some fun words, but it's not padding without content. The parent comment makes a clear point whether you agree or not:

Great stuff from the best music platform out there, hands down. You get mp3, flac, cd, vinyl, merch and no bullshit attached. Best deals for artists also. This is the only place I buy music these days :)
>Really, we shouldn't have prisons at all, or any against-one's-will system

Then what do you suggest we do with people who are harming people or their property? Speak firmly at them? For pretty much all of human history you have had three options for those who damage peace and society ... death, exile, and jail.

Exile isn't really an option anymore so that leaves death and jail...
I’m pretty critical of the NYT, but I don’t think this article is particularly biased. It’s a fairly in-depth look at his actions over the last few years and is mostly just descriptive.

For the simplest uses, cut is more readable.

If argument expansion is required, consider using read. That way the argument is given a name. Use "read a b c < x" instead of "b=$(cat x | awk '{ print $2 }')".

Just remember to pipe to read with care, as the right hand part of a pipe is a subshell in which variables are local. So "read a b c < <(echo 1 2 3)" works, "echo 1 2 3 | read a b c" doesn't.

Another way to expand arguments is to simply define a shell function and use $2. Something like "process_line() { echo $2 }".

When you have to reach for something like awk, your script would probably improve by being mostly awk. In which case most people are probably looking at perl or python anyway. Even if awk is a nice language, the arrival of perl mostly killed it. It is not wrong to say perl was the next version of awk.
Yes.

The thing that will massively speed up rustc is the current re-architecting of it. We’re at the point of “few percent here, few percent there” with the current design. These add up over time, of course, but batch compilers are inherently slower than the newer style ones (after an initial compile).

Worth noting that dropshipping is not particularly new nor particularly the province of undercapitalized mom-and-pop operations. Some of the largest retail/wholesale companies in the world also dropship; it's an obvious thing to do if you own a channel, don't want inventory risk, and can put up with the substantial challenges involved.

(I learned the word in 2000 when working for an office supply store, which was happy to take inventory risk on paper or printer ink but did not want it on $X,000 pieces of furniture, so if you ordered them they'd arrive at your door straight from the factory.)
When Alice sends what she said to the hospital, I'm afraid she's not anonymous anymore. Indeed the hospital (or whoever owns the phone (I'm looking at google/apple)) knows who it's talking to. For Alice to remain anonymous, she must be able to send what she said through an anonymous channel...

Am I right ?
I've read several quotes from the Indian government about Adhaar, and their attitude towards security stinks - they continually claimed that it's 100% secure and that leaks and abuses are impossible.

No system is 100% secure, and talking about it like that makes them look like clowns.
There are oceans of it under the seafloor.
The apologists support a right wing party known as the BJP which is in power. These people are not paid by the government or anything, it's that they genuinely believe in the hindutva ideology and this is the most concerning part. Good catch and watch out for this pattern to repeat itself.

What I wrote wasn't very understandable.

In most languages, like C++, a < b < c ends up comparing a boolean to an integer. This should be a type error, but isn't.

My point was that the suggestion actually have been proven to “produce wealth” efficiently.

And I’m pretty sure there at a lot of such knowledge in out there. So it’s not really a problem of finding ways to produce wealth. It’s a problem of how to inform policy based on existing knowledge.

It might have changed, but I remember ads from dealers on just the LA side of the LA-San Bernardino county line advertising that sales tax was based on the purchaser's address. That was still the case in 2014 according to the L.A. Times [1]:

>There’s no advantage, in terms of sales tax, on where you go to buy a car. An Orange County resident who buys a car in Santa Monica will stay pay the Orange County sales tax rate. The sales tax rate is charged based on where the car will be registered.

I suspect that the Car and Driver article was poorly researched and factually incorrect.

In Our Time with Melvin Bragg from BBC Radio 4. It’s a colossal podcast series split into six podcasts discussing Literature, Culture, History, Philosophy, Religion, and Science. Each episode Melvin Bragg brings together a panel of professors and experts (mostly from within the UK) to discuss a topic, event, or famous figure.

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish from Farnham Street. “Master the best of what other people have already figured out” sums it up.

EconTalk with Russ Roberts from the Hoover Institution. Russ brings on distinguished guests to talk about economics, finance, and more. It’s a neat way to discover interesting thinkers. The topics are far ranging: he once brought on Judith Donath to talk about human-computer interaction and online communities and identities.

That is almost never a problem. It has to do with winding order and the only time you need to pay attention to it is when creating polygons from some sort of other data like lidar. Even then any groups of connected polygons can be made to have consistent normals.

Why do you think that is difficult? I think your attachment to csg might be wishful thinking, you still have to get arbitrary shapes out of primitives, work with deformations, figure out textures etc.

I would not attach a color to the flagging verbage. Makes it sound bias while both sides are producing, promoting, and consuming it.
The fake it till you make it people were always noticed on their first PR, and confirmed by their third (this would generally take weeks).

Apart from the useless use of cat, since sort does the work here something like the following would probably suffice:

No. You would need the ability to write unbounded loops or unbounded recursion. You don't have that with the C preprocessor.

Yes, you can do a lot with the C preprocessor. You can also do a lot in languages that only have bounded loops and are therefore not Turing complete. You can either express nonterminating computations (Turing completeness), or you can't (still powerful, but dramatically less poweful). This question is binary. There is no fuzziness, there is no approximation, there is no "quite close".

Do you really think the NYT is uncritical of politicians?

They're extremely critical of anything the GOP does, and moderately negative on the populist left. Maybe they're too cosy with corporate Democrats, but those are the same Davos set as Schmidt et al.

If anything, I feel like the Silicon Valley titans have gotten a free pass from the media for too long. It's only in the past few years that issues like data privacy or monopoly power have started to get coverage in major media after decades of the EFF or Mozilla banging their lonely drums.

For me $500 and up becomes 'several hundred'.
JS is not "untyped". It literally has a "typeof" operator. You probably mean strongly vs. weakly typed. JS is dynamically, rather weakly typed. Python is dynamically, strong-ish-ly typed. C is statically, weakly typed. Rust is statically, strongly type.

Those two attributes are mostly orthogonal.
That article you posted says the Saudis gave 25 million to the Clinton Foundation. Oops!
Both of these are idiomatic because they're not built by composition.

y[end(1)]

is non-composed because AFAICS

end(1)

is meaningless by itself. Ditto the second although

y[len(y) - 1]

would be closer to the mark.

If you're willing to accept a naive implementation that can be optimised, something like

reverse(y)[1]

is compositional though inefficient as-is. You could though recognise this overall and optimise it to not reverse the lot before picking out a single item.
This policy is ridiculous - the phrasing is so broad as to allow almost any retention period and almost any use by any part of the government or security services. Which presumably is the point.
Many formulations now contain lemon oil which really does (for me at least) completely mask the totally disgusting (for me) taste of cod liver oil. Worth a try for those who can't stand it otherwise.
Not really familiar with Python. Do you know why the second statement evaluates as false?
Whoever wrote that article never did programming it seems. Overall, nonsense article. I personally don't care much whether API is following or not following REST. Yes, that's nice but not the most important thing. What I do care about is good technical documentation and Telegam API is that. It is good and comprehensive.
Another point is that unlike many other services, they don't force you to use their library, but actually give enough details to implement API using any language and technology you want. Maybe this makes for a steeper learning curve. Either way, any seasoned programmer can figure this documentation out and use it.
If your codebase is in Python, you can generate a module-level dependency graph using `pydeps`:
https://pydeps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#usage

The graphs are overwhelming for anything beyond a smallest project, but I find them useful as an overview. In other words you can see "what is there" but maybe not understand "how it works."

These books have all been super helpful. You will need to primarily learn sales, this is the oxygen of a business. All cash comes from there. The other main thing is learning to speak to non technical users and then turning that into messaging and marketing. For most of the business details you can find software or services.

My biggest win, mentoring: a new guy put in charge of 'Engineering data' e.g. putting ad-hoc document solutions under one umbrella. He was worried, not an Engineer, thought he'd make a fool of himself. I said "Here's the trick. If you don't know something, say out loud "I don't know what that means. Can you explain it to me?" And because Engineers usually are happy to explain their shit, they'll not think badly of you but instead become helpful. Never bluff or fake it.

Fast forward 2 years. Everybody now respects him. He's the most generally knowledgeable guy in the company, the CEO consults him. Moved to manage the new products. He's on the road to Director now. Still the same helpful guy with the reassuring voice and the insistence everybody in the room understand before moving on.

Yes, it’s become obvious that this whole situation is not so much a threat to white-collar work, but to the necessity of the hierarchy and authoritarian control structures that define American workplaces.
I thought it asked an interesting ethical question about generation ships, yes, it was voluntary for the people starting the journey, but the second generation and so on? The main characters mother clearly resented the people starting out, several other characters didn't. And unless I'm misremembering, some of the settlers did stay behind to work with the materials of the system's asteroid belt to make space habitats.

I dunno, I feel like it /should/ appeal to those libertarian types that make a big fuss about how they were coerced into the social contract of where ever they were born. As being born on a generation ship you are denied the exit option in the voice/exit choice.

I'm sure use cases vary to some degree, but awk clicked for me when I had some data that wasn't formatted well. I didn't use it in a script, I just worked in the shell and kept iterating until it looked good, then redirected it into a text file. I use it for quick one-offs like this all the time now.

I've also used awk to get button presses from an input stream on a MIDI controller. For me, I found that the up front cost of learning a few awk commands quickly made it's return on investment.

Hexagonal Architecture – A Favorite Lyrics Spring Boot – Java Example
This architecture principle was created by [1] Alistair Cockburn in 2005. This is one of the many forms of DDD(Domain Driven Design Architecture). The goal was to find a way to solve or otherwise mitigate general caveats introduced by object oriented programming. This is also known as Ports and Adapters architecture. The hexagon concept isn’t related to a six side architecture nor does it have anything to do with the geometrical form. A hexagon has six sides indeed, but the idea is to illustrate concept of many ports. This shape is also easier to split into two and to be used as a representation of the business logic of the application. The idea is to separate the application we want to develop into essentially three separate parts. The left, the core and the right. Going into an even broader concept we want to differentiate the concepts of inside and outside. Inside is the business logic and the application itself and outside is whatever we are using to connect and interact with the application.
