Of course it's a matter of preference and being the right tool for the right job! Personally after using Go to build a simple ray-tracer and having to do numerical computations with it, I would really think twice before doing it again.

Want to reverse an array? You can't just list.reverse() or list[::-1] like you'd do in Python.
Want a simple lookup if a value exists? You can't ['a', 'b', 'c'].include? 'a' like you'd do in Ruby.
Want to reach for low-level primitives? You'd have to delve into CGO territory, which is not always "elegant".
Want different concurrent paradigms (eg. an actor model), well, maybe you're better off without it.

But it's up to you whether that kind of 'simplicity' is desirable or not.

Calling the guitar a boomer generation instrument is odd.

I suspect Martin would argue they were well ahead of the curve, since they've been creating guitars for over a hundred years.
I am curious where decorators make sense. I find them unreadable with little to gain back so I avoid writing them myself. Class extensions works for most of the use cases of decorators. I guess they are helpful when you need to modify class methods and properties.
Did I use the word "often" in my comment above? Anyway, as an astronomer, I've heard about lucky imaging quite a few times - it likely depends what other astronomers you are exposed to. Of course, it can currently only be used on some bright targets, but it's a fascinating method. Similar techniques are also now being used at other wavelengths, such as for the LOFAR low frequency radio telescope.

It exists! The ArchiveTeam had a project, you can see its status here: http://iabak.archiveteam.org/

Here's an overview: https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=INTERNETARCHIVE....

Sadly, it seems the project has fallen out of repair.
In its typical configuration, Secure Boot can't provide any anti-theft guarantees because an attacker could just replace the contents of the disk with a new Windows installation and the workstation would be usable for them.

Secure Boot as it is configured by Windows only prevents malware from inserting itself into the boot process, since all Windows installations use the same signature. Bitlocker only prevents attackers from accessing the data on the disk, not from using the workstation in general.
Yeah if a manufacturer wanted to hold off on drawing a higher load to recharge the battery until after the car was warmed up they would just do that by lowering the setpoint. If you try and draw higher current from it it would still meet that lower setpoint.
Regarding the last point, I wonder if that will be necessary after the changes in the OP. Example 2 might cover this.
> Does that mean you'd be alright with me sitting outside your house taking photos of it and scanning for network signals coming from your house and running a software radio receiver to see what you've got going on inside?

I'd be fine with it.

People staring at my closed blinds and the outsides of my walls, recording my router's SSID and a lot of encrypted traffic, and getting rained on are not bothering me at all. There's nothing they can do with what they have.
In practice though, during this epidemic we're seeing inequality rise; over 10 million people lost their jobs, the stock market has boomed after a short dip, the middle class who can work from home is earning a living as usual, whilst the poor have had to blow through what little savings they have whilst angry landlords are breathing down their neck because they haven't gotten their rent yet. And while this is going on, some Karens (m/f) have taken up their guns demanding their hairdressers get back to work.
You seem to be missing that data can still be read after it is insterted, provided it is not updated. So think if more like WORM rather than write-only.
I've only read Siddhartha, and it didn't paint the author like you've done it.

Maybe I've completely misunderstood the book, but my key take away is that : true enlightenment (and by enlightenment you can say, true knowledge), only comes from life experience.

And that takes quite some human understanding, specially when we've grown to value information and theory, to the point where we build a perceived complete understanding of matters, only to later realize it's an illusion.

Things like talking about the concept of Love, Grief, Hate and any other complex emotions, end up falling short no matter how you read about them, either from a technical point of view, or simply from a character from a short story. You can't truly empathize until you've lived it.

Like it's not your knowledge to own unless you've experienced it, no matter what shape or form, and maybe that deserves some sort of respect.

Maybe that reflects on our lack of appreciation for a lot of things we take for granted.

Is it wrong that he wrote it through the lens of a intellectualized male character that didn't give enough focus on women? I don't know. It's his narrative after all.
I've had good luck with explaining it as a characteristic of a programming language. In a language consisting of sequences of statements with bindings and function calls, we expect that

f(x)

is the same as

a = x;
f(a)

and the same as

g = f;
g(x);

That's the monad laws. Whatever craziness you want to put in the semantics, those are properties you probably would like to preserve in your language.
On the Download/Buy page, there's no good indication of bundle sizes or dependencies, nor do I see it obviously in the docs.

Bundle size and sub-dependencies is something really important to me when I choose tools and it's part of why I really like Spectre and Skeleton.
There is no legal requirement in the UK to advertise a job publicly in general, and no legal hindrance to explicit nepotism for that matter.

However there is a requirement not to discriminate on the basis of certain characteristics, and the easiest way of protecting against such claims is to advertise publicly.

But a huge number of jobs in the UK are never publicly advertised anyway.
I took linear algebra through a community college and had one of those rare, really awesome CC instructors. He had spent most of his career at Cray and later Raytheon and then semi-retired as a community college instructor. He took time to make really great interactive Jupyter notebooks. That combined with 3 brown 1 blue videos really made linear algebra click for me.

My only regret is that I took the class as a six week short course. I think my recall would be better if I had taken the full semester. We covered all the material, but missed out on the longer spaced repetition. Linear Algebra was by far my favorite pure math course, I hope to revisit it soon. Maybe Strang's lectures are the way to do that.
"The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck"

The free sample is enough to get the core message: the Konmari method can also apply to obligations, not just objects. It's not a fascinating book, just an interesting concept. Most of the book covers the exceptions and caveats of its own technique, a rare approach in this genre. Its premise is similar to Mark Manson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck", but without the aggressive self-help bro tone.

"No More Mr. Nice Guy"

This book is for nice guys who never get what they want. The answer isn't "be a selfish asshole for once", but "if you want something, ask for it" and "don't expect unsolicited generosity to be rewarded in specific ways". This book is a healthy fix to an unhealthy behaviour.

The gang of four made a book about programming design patterns. Cialdini made a book about influence design patterns. It's easy to read, and full of examples.
Hey HN!

On a bit of a whim, I made up a challenge last month to try and do 4 launches in 4 weeks across a series of products I was working on as a way to stay productive and optimistic during quarantine.

We ended up getting 3 top-5 product launches on Product Hunt (plus one dud due to timing).

I learned a lot during the last 4 weeks about launching and the Product Hunt platform in general and share a bunch of things that I would have done differently.

Hopefully this encourages people to keep shipping!

I recall a similar story involving amateur radio. By ITU convention, amateur callsigns are [prefix][digit][suffix], like W1AW.

So one night, a new ham is operating his friend's fancier station, which has the HF equipment to talk clear around the world. And they make contact with another ham identifying himself as JY1. No suffix. Well that's weird, so they look it up, the JY prefix is Jordan, okay. So the guy on the mic just asks, "why doesn't your callsign have any letters after the digit?" and the reply comes back with a chuckle, "Oh, because I am the King."

That was the late King Hussein. about whom much has been written. I don't know if his call ever caused trouble with software validators, but I'd certainly believe it.
Even more accurate is "most low income jobs" call centers aren't exactly high income.

Anyway technically the physical jobs can be done remotely if latency isn't a concern but if it is sufficient to remote work the question usually becomes "Why not do the last 10% and fully automate it?"

> This is the "Emperor's new clothes" argument that the FP zealots march out over and over again.

I wouldn't call myself a zealot. We chose functional components for a new project on my team as a direct response to problems we were having with maintainability of larger React applications. Specifically that class components tend to get massively bloated over time with business logic, lifecycle based rendering logic, and local state. I was skeptical at first as well. But it turns out that once you start fully separating things out into reducers and actions, the class becomes little more than boilerplate. When you enforce that there are no class members or local state allowed in UI components, it pushes people into proper separation of concerns. The project becomes much more maintainable as you don't have to dig around through components to find out what's going on.

When hooks first came out and I started playing with the API, I had the same feeling! It felt refreshing, but I couldn't quite nail down why.

I don't think it's that you don't have to worry about lifecycles, in the end. You still do - you have to understand the lifecycles of your functions which are different than those of a component class, but they are lifecycles in there own way. What I think really makes hooks feel nice is you can _close over_ the small, self-contained lifecycles, and introduce them at any point in the program in a composable way. That's pretty neat actually, and what we've taken away from hooks currently.

Maybe that's not the only benefit they have, but it's a pretty large one, so I'm glad hooks decided to explore this new direction, even if I'm not completely sold on it (as in, wouldn't introduce it in Ember just yet).
'Why nations fail' is about the same subject and much better supported, incase you are interested.
I don't think there is a mapping to this in English. I've studied some Spanish and German - You learn about the various verb and pronoun forms based on informal and formal "you". This is a part of the core language, the spec, so to speak.

In English, there is no spec for different levels of formality. There is no universally documented way to being less courteous to bosses and policemen. Saying "sup dude" or "how's it going" is part of the American standard library, not the language.

And to your point directly, "nigga" is incredibly informal and casual, and would never be something anyone (much less a non-native speaker) should ever use unless they know what they are doing. And usually, they should be black, too.
That's clearly not how anybody gets to do any job the first time, ever. There has to be a first time.
I think you're right regarding the verbosity, but I personally find this is outweighed by the fact that my code is 2x more likely to run correctly on the first try, and do what I expect it to.
One annoying wrinkle in MySQL's purge implementation: it won't progress to any old row versions that are newer than the oldest transaction, even if there are no transactions that could ever possibly access those rows. [1]

As you noted, this can get painful since purge effectively gets blocked -- if you have a high-volume OLTP workload with heavy emphasis on quick small UPDATEs / DELETEs, and then introduce a single very long-running read transaction (such as a logical dump/backup), purge can't make progress. But this is just due to the current implementation. In theory a smarter system could differentiate between row versions actually needed by old transactions vs ones that are inaccessible to all transactions.

This is neither about intent nor the letter of the law, it’s about perception and outrage. It doesn’t matter if it’s legal and without malice, it feels creepy in a way that their regular internet behavior does not.

It’s also impossible to verify what Google will do with that data now or forever. They say they’re doing it in good faith, but then again everyone says that. How can you verify that, and do you trust them with it forever?

I suppose your praise is more due to Darwin's original book, although it is much less accessible nowadays - Dawkins does indeed explain it well.
The thing that struck me was how Darwin's ideas achieved such quick adoption, even in that most pious of times, where to avow yourself an athiest was unthinkable. It's an idea, once you are exposed to it, is so immensely powerful and perhaps even to say in hindsight obvious - that the truth of it almost bowls you over. The eldritch horror it must have inspired in the religious mind at the time can only be imagined. And yet it could not be seriously challenged - because it was so clearly TRUE.

One of the most staggering intellectual achievements of mankind. Philosophers since Ancient Greek times had been speculating on the causes of being (some even came close to guessing something like evolution) but they were just that, guesses. Then finally we get Darwin, and bam, no guesses, here is the answer (I acknowlege several others got just pipped to the post on it). That such a simple idea lurked just out of our understanding all this time, but took such staggering genius to unlock...

Wow!
Well, to be fair, functional analysis is not part of linear algebra proper. (If you want to get more abstract, you go to rings and modules and from there to category theory.)
Nope. Same point there.
> Granted, this is assuming you can get into each one and there is some luck in that so a lot of people are just where they could get in.

Yes, though I assume that if you can not only get in but get at least one promotion at one of the big tech companies, the others would take you as well.
Just my opinion, but the United States' aversion to any sort of collective nationhood or individual sacrifice is going to be its undoing. The problems we are facing are getting more complex and require greater co-operation, not less.
The intro to the article is slightly different from what Galloway says. MIT sells a product that is quite valuable to a certain audience and though how that product works has evolved and will continue too, ultimately it's a boutique offering that won’t move online (some of the classes may, but really there aren’t many “big lecture hall” classes there anyway). In fact there’s only one huge lecture hall.

So I see a cohort of “high end” schools that offer low volume/high cost product (basically the Apple approach).

A few mass market winners that are essentially online only.

And some private sector “tutor” kind of places that provide a kind of third party recitation or handholding where needed.

The mass market winners may not be obvious either. The obvious candidates are the existing large high-reputation institutions like UT and UC but they may struggle institutionally to adapt. It could be a U of IL (which has already been innovating in this area), or NYU whose administration appears right now to be whistling past the graveyard but which has shown an ability over the last couple of decades to adapt significantly.

And I expect community colleges, at least where they are well run like California’s excellent system, to really adapt rapidly to “online plus a little in-person supplementation.”
That's why ideally you redirect people to the identity provider and teach users never to enter their password elsewhere.
Would be a huge step.

It feels like the answer will end up being something totally different. The reality is that enterprises do well with appliances.

Selling them cattle is hard because the maintenance piece expects a certain level of hygiene, proactivity, discipline.

An appliance sits there and when the thing breaks, you call in someone to fix the box. That relationship between a customer and vendor surprisingly makes for a good selling environment/symbiosis.

It's the Cathedral and the Bazaar in another spectrum...
A piece of fiction that has never failed to make me think every time I read it, is: The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy by Stanislaw Lem.

One of the tenets of getting your mind bent is reading things that are antithetical to your own world view. For this reason I read and had my mind bent by Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind - Graham Hancock.

Finally, I offer The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food by Dan Barber. I have read a lot about food, nature, etc. but Barber nails the heart of the problem with our current (really recent past, in light of the pandemic) food culture. From farms and restaurants to the consumers (we are not just eaters) he shows how there could be another way that is more sustainable, as well as being more delicious.

All good picks! I was thinking of mentioning Ubik myself. I’d add A Maze of Death also.

Thinking about it, yeah, Valis is probably best saved for much later. That’s the same order I read Dick, and knowing a bit of his background and having seen his recurring tropes in fictional form, it added a whole new dimension to see them crop up in... pseudo-autobiographical form? I’m not even sure what to call it!

Linus Torvalds. He appears to be good at almost everything; C programming, project management, architecture, writing emails, etc.
The definition of “legal name” is interesting. When I got married in California 30(!) years ago I “changed” my name by simply asking for a replacement DL with a different name on it, then used that to change my ssn. At the time you could use any name you wish, as long as it was not for fraudulent purposes.

Which makes sense to me — it’s my name after all; why should it be rigidly locked to some decision my parents made over which I had no input?

And a benefit of coming from a small country: the consul was able to issue me a new passport in my new name (she wanted to see my marriage license) which I’ve been able to renew even though in my home country that’s not my “legal” name.

None of that is possible any more: after September 2001 there was a rush to useless, officious busybodying around things like names which really aren’t anybody else’s business
Agreed in practice. I think in theory, it's not the infinitive form of the verb; just identical in most cases.

You can see that with 'to be': infinitive form is 'sein', but 'Sie sind'.
I love Go for this reason. It minimizes it's own cognitive load, freeing the mind to spend more time thinking about being clever solving the problem rather than being clever with the language.

I also adore goroutines and miss them in any other language. They are really fibers and let you do light concurrency without fiddling with async constructions. Async programming is just an ad hoc way of implementing fibers, and it imposes more cognitive load because now you have two different approaches to every problem in the same language (one async, one not).

IMHO minimizing language-imposed cognitive load should be a core goal of any programming language. Human brains are finite, and programmers should spend the majority of their mental energy thinking about the problem being solved not the language.
Right, he came highly recommended, but he is just boring. His stories exist to present a sci-fi concept, not be a good story. Same as Neal Stephenson's later work, which is a tragedy.
