I do, but I keep separate personal and professional boards because they're prioritized very differently. An example from this fall: I needed a flu shot but I had recently moved to a new city and didn't have a doctor yet. The nebulous thought process in your head would normally go something like "I need a flu shot... but I need a doctor... but not sure what my insurance lets me choose... what's my insurance login credentials..." and you're suddenly five levels deep and way off your original goal. It's hard to stay motivated and focused when a bunch of interdependent tasks mingle together in your mind. Kanban helped me get all of that out of my head into a clear set of linked tasks:

- I need to reset my login.

- I need to login and pick a primary care doctor.

- I need to call and make an appointment.

This has two benefits: (1) A series of hours-long tasks get broken down into smaller chunks that I can knock out when I have 15-30 minutes each. (2) My end goal ("Get a flu shot") stays parked in my blocked column where I don't have to worry about it -- I can stay focused on the things that are immediately within my power to do. And that's super liberating! It feels good to knock out a todo list. This process keeps you focused on knocking things out and removes the mental overhead of having to juggle all these little things that you can't really do anything about immediately -- it's being tracked somewhere so you can write it down, keep working on what's most in your control, and come back to that item when it's actionable.
Well, they had great sports games; which didn’t matter to me at all, superior console ports of arcade games, and, of course, Sonic.

And then they utterly failed to launch a major original Sonic title for the console. shakes head
Almost all of them, due to cost.
But, why not prepare for the most likely ones, especially when there's a very specific plan you can follow to be optimally prepared (stockpiled ppe, respirators,etc)?

Okay - I'm going to reveal my statistics ignorance here - but if they did get a false positive, how does 0.0% fall within the range of possibilities (or is that allowing for it might be 0.0499..% or lower?)
I have to be honest, I just take notes on paper. It is not optimal for finding stuff across old notebooks though.

If I had today's technology back when I started, I would probably digitally record it with something like an Apple pencil etc. If it was all OCR'ed I would print it with an index in book form.
It's overengineering for sure (or architecture astronauting).
Two approaches I've used for that:

1. Having a "doc of docs" for each team - a document (Google Doc, wiki page, whatever) that acts as an index for all of the other documentation. If anyone asks "where's the documentation for X?" the answer should be "It's in the doc-of-docs. And if it isn't, it's your job to find it and put a link to it in the doc-of-docs".

2. Get a good search engine! I built a search engine for work that indexed documentation content from 8 different sources, because building a single search index was easier than convincing dozens of teams to switch the documentation solution they were using. I used an improved variant of the technique I described in https://24ways.org/2018/fast-autocomplete-search-for-your-we...

While I agree with your sentiment regarding ML engineers - they are just another kind of devs, and that's where it will go - I think DL is not just a tool like any other from the software toolbox. It's more like a paradigm changer, like the print, the engine, electricity, communication and computing. It tends to eat the world.

so happy for this, been using canary `nextjs` + `now` for all my non work projects

my favorite feature of `now` is environment variables, and `next.js` 9.4 has even better support.
so if using `now`, you store your env vars / secrets in your project on https://vercel.com/ in separate buckets for prod, dev, etc

then on your local environment run `now env pull` and get the latest dev env vars populated in `.env` of your project. this is super great for remote teams where you don't have to share .env files via communication channels / ask someone for the latest variable value
They made it blob free by omitting the storage ...

4. Show the thing

5. Know that you are not your writing

6. Share your work

7. Read (poetry in particular)

8. Never start with a blank page

9. Know when enough is enough

10. Stay human

What do you mean by "learning?" because I mean something specific: the ability to adapt to solving new problems. It's not something that is so easily reified and commodified. If "learning" is remembering a password or a combination of keystrokes, I would argue that that is closer to "rote memorization" and does not really reflect the character or qualities of "learning" that this method is more suitable for. You should only look through your long-term notes to help solidify what you already know. If it's still blurry, then I would argue the learning phase is not complete. Short-term notes like a notebook and scratchpad, or a dry-erase board and camera on your phone, are better for actual acquiring of knowledge.

There were even things like ViolaWWW [0][1], using a HyperCard-like approach, which exposed all its objects (even a canvas for drawing) and methods in its own scripting language. This was probably the nearest thing to the Web, we know today, but also an absolute security nightmare.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ViolaWWW
[1] http://viola.org

Edit: The basic building blocks of ViolaWWW were horizontal and vertical layout panes, which behaved much like flex elements and allowed the implementation of all the common HTML tags. These were accessible to viola-scripts and could also be generated by a script. Moreover, ViolaWWW also featured stylesheets (in a maybe more declarative form than CSS).

Styles were also much like this, with multiple concurring standards. While MS IE featured CSS, Netscape used JavaScript styles. (However, Netscape soon adopted CSS syntax, but this remained a mere bridge to the original JS styles for all of the NS4.x life cycle.)
This is always the right answer.

I love keeping documentation in the same repo as the code, because you can enforce updates to the relevant documentation as part of the code review process. "This change is great - don't forget to update the docs in docs/blah.md before you land this pull request."

You can even write unit tests that verify that certain things are mentioned in the documentation: https://simonwillison.net/2018/Jul/28/documentation-unit-tes...

Build ProKaa to send Protobuf messages to Kafka
As software world is moving towards distributed systems, where there are different process for Kafka consumers. Many times there is a need to send messages to specify Kafka topic to make sure, consumers are working perfectly fine. For this, writing a producer each time, takes some time and is a bit of hassle when it comes to send protobuf messages.

This problem gave us the thought to build something similar to Postman/BloomRPC which can save developers and test engineer time. And finally we have came up with this.

This don't require you to write any code, just import the proto files, select message you want to send, fill up the message values and hit Push button.

Hey, there's some articles on the front page that don't fit this pattern...
It allowed for repurposing of sprite-drawing hardware the Japanese were already familiar with. Most Japanese programmers at the time were at complete sixes and sevens with the sort of triangle-based, texture mapping 3D hardware that had been developed in the west. I guess Sega thought it would be either a faster path to developer success, or easier to implement in hardware, if the Saturn's 3D engine resembled the sprites that game and console makers already knew, rather than gamble on unfamiliar triangle rasterization.

Nintendo collaborated with SGI on the N64, giving them a HUGE leg up on ALL the competition with respect to rendering techniques -- perspective-correct, filtered textures when even the PlayStation could only do affine transforms on textures (leading to the "texture warping" phenomenon). But even their programmers had to come to grips with 3D, which was hard. One reason StarFox 2 was cancelled was because Nintendo wanted to use its camera code in titles like Super Mario 64 (and did NOT want word of this getting back to Argonaut).

You are confusing quantity and quality. There are many more ways, including unskilled EB3 and DV, it's just too many people want to immigrate so, naturally, visas with less requirements run out faster/ have longer wait. E.g. there are just 5 or 10 thousand EB3 unskilled spots per year and, while DV is 50K, a country that had too many immigrants in the previous year cannot participate on top of the enormous number of applications from the ones, who do participate.
What's your point? I'm saying just because H1B is officially a non-immigrant visa, you can still stay and a green card based on it (eventually).

So if I'm understanding this correctly, with this test.

If you test negative, you are clear, guaranteed, no false negatives.

If you test positive, there is a 10% chance it's a false positive.

I guess my follow up question, does a retest of the positive population make that false positive rate drop to 0.1%, or is the reason for false positive significant to an individual and not random chance?

> Gates has specified that their Foundation needs to disburse all funds within some specific, limited timeframe (20 years?) after his death.

First time I'm hearing of this. Anyways, haters are going to hate no matter what he does.

>Once you have amassed a three-digit billion dollars amount, giving it away in such an expedited manner is really the best you can do.

I'm not sure it's the best. I like what he's currently doing though, ensuring the money gets to where it's needed instead and use for what its intended purpose.

If giving it all quickly was his main goal, he'd have just given it all to WHO, Red cross and the thousands of NGOs around the world. But it's an open secret that less than half of the money gets to its destination. The rest are spent on administrative purposes, logistics, marketing, more fund raising...

Take a look at Altered Carbon on Netflix, or other dystopian fiction featuring vastly extended lifespans for a few privileged individuals. Even Ad Vitam (also on Netflix), where the treatment is widely available, is pretty dystopian.

We may find that vastly extended human lifespan is a case of "be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it."
I suppose another way of looking at it, is more about what you've mentioned with Stripe, Braintree, etc. A lot of the things that a web business needs to run are getting built out as APIs. At some point, I predict non-tech companies that still need some tech components, they will:

* pick out the SaaS they need, and someone will write a tool to integrate the top different SaaS providers together
* they will differentiate themselves from their competitors based on their product offering and branding, less so on tech

So, I'm not saying that programmers in general will be able to plug and play backend infra like Legos, but that non-technical people will be able to mix and match the infra components they need without doing coding. For these kinds of people, what the computers are doing is not important, and the frontend is more important, IMO.

Did your doctor have to refer you to LabCorp? I read that LabCorp doesn't want any walk-ins.
You are correct, the "Arduino language" is just C++ with some special libraries, macros, added types, and an IDE that enforces some limitations on the programmer (though you can use the Arduino library without the IDE).

In practice using this library/ecosystem/whatever is different enough from "normal" embedded C/C++ libraries that to me at least to me it does feel like a different language.

I think most people call it a language out of ignorance or laziness though.
Thanks for the sarcasm but yes I do believe it. That's a different topic though.
Just anecdata about ~Houston but:

- At ~7:00am Sunday, May 3, I only saw one "customer" not wearing a mask at a grocery store inside the inner loop. (Quotes because this person got caught trying to walk out the front door with a 40 of something while I was still waiting outside for a cart; not inclined to count them.) All employees that I saw were masked, though I did see one pull their mask down under their chin for a minute or so to speak to a coworker standing next to them.

- Friday evening (May 9) we needed gas on the way back from bringing in a package for a relative who is out of town. The League City Buc-ees was bustling when we stopped by around 6:30pm; employees were masked, but I didn't see any masked customers. My spouse noticed an additional masked customer that I didn't see.

- On the way back in, I also noticed that the Twin Peaks in Webster had a pretty full parking lot. I saw a few people leaving who were not masked, but I wasn't close enough to get any sense of things like what fraction were wearing a mask, what fraction were seated outside, and how well-spaced the tables were.

Sample's too small to even try to reason from, but I've been wondering how much (if any) of the difference is accounted for by the type of establishment/patron demographics, proximity to downtown, and change over time.

Based on your comment, you will likely enjoy "The Boat of a Million Years", by Poul Anderson [0]. Needless to say, it's science fiction.

It's about a very small number of people who are immortal, in the sense they stop ageing at 25 (iirc). They can be killed like anyone else, but smaller damages do heal faster. Also, they never get sick. Some are thousands of years old, some less. Some smart, some not so much. How they handle their immortality is very interesting though. I won't spoil it for you though.

That being said I think that the next 20-30 years are going to be really interesting in this space, and if we indeed have any sort of proven breakthrough this will force us to rethink how we think about our society and our mortality.
