The web is the most successful document publishing platform in history. It's what enabled this conversation.

Many of the most popular apps are reliant on the web or web servers for their content (social media for example), and it's ok if some content is not on the web. Games for example are a special case which are better served by native code.

A marketer like the one doing those surveys is understandably going to be concerned with where the captive eyeballs are, and platforms do have a tendency to try to herd users into their walled garden, but in the long run I think the open web will win over corporate walled gardens.
> along with the smell!

I grew up in rural US.

I took a few trips to Europe and to date the smell of car / bus exhaust reminds me of European cities. It's not a pleasant smell but the memories are pleasant.

Weird that in the US I just never associated big cities that I visited here with it as much I did with my trips to Europe.
Oh man, what is even going on with that raid forum.
"If you remove some of the data, the data tells a different story"
I'm a Swiss lawyer working as a court clerk and have dabbled with Django myself (automating documents using python-docx and python-docx-template). I find this interesting and was wondering if you could elaborate on how you built this.
Years ago (pre cloud - master collection) I was on Windows and made the switch to Mac with a written guarantee that the apps (I used Flash a lot) would have the same functionality. It turns out that the ability to zoom in with the mouse was crippled and they removed .eps output ability. They continuously removed output formats (eg at least FXG allowed some format interchange until it too was taken away). So, workflows had to be abandoned.

The city of Vienna did this with their major shopping artery (Mariahilfer Straße), despite an enormous amount of skepticsm. They closed off all traffic in some parts, and most of all traffic in others (to allow for crucial intersections). Where allowed, traffic is limited to a pedestrian tempo.

The experiment was a huge success. Commerce has never been busier. I don't think that the drivers miss the roads, and the biggest skeptics -- the shopowners! -- are the greatest benefactors now.

They're extending this concept to further areas now. Promote pedestrian, bike, and public transportation traffic, reduce or eliminate everything else. It's great.
Vancouver's been doing a 5x property tax for vacant units for the past few years, and it does seem to be putting some pressure on owners to get them occupied:

https://globalnews.ca/news/6523554/empty-homes-tax-results-2...

Vancouver's normal property tax rate is just 0.26%, and the vacancy surcharge is 1% per that article.
Based on my understanding of CSV, unit separators are valid column delimiters. I doubt you could use record separators between as row delimiters though.
Certainly not the US. One of the US's greatest geopolitical advantages is that it actually does have all the natural resources it needs in the America's. That's why calls for isolationist policies can be so enticing, because unlike for most countries dependent on oil or metals from international trade, there's no physical barrier to the US taking the option of turtling up. China would suffocate on its lack of oil as it tries to sip what it can through the straws it has to Russian oil fields on the other end of Eurasia if it ever had international oil shipping barred from it.
"Do not draw a penis!" - was the first I did after opening the link (I mean, I draw a penis).
One of the most amusing books I've read on the subject is "Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" (PDF: http://www.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pdf, Amazon link: https://amzn.to/2WXzWcp), which discusses how science used to be more fun and chemists basically just mixed lots of super dangerous chemicals together all the time to see what worked.

A RPi Zero W is only $10 where I live and sometimes is on sale for less.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle

There's a few things that led to this. Culturally, the American space program has tended more towards the ideal of the "hero" astronaut than others, and there's been some tension between the technical/automated approach and the pilot-astronaut approach to things. I see this as an extension of that. They even considered having pilots manually control the pitch, etc. of the rockets on their way to orbit with the pilots hand on a joystick just following a "recommended" course to orbit.

NASA had explored various ideas for very precise landings, believing that to be useful especially for rapidly-reusable aircraft. There was very serious consideration to having Gemini capsules land with a glider and the astronauts facing forward similar to an aircraft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Gemini#Gemini_Paragli....
Well, I might be biased as you are saying, and much of this is subjective, but I much prefer a snappy browsing experience, where clicking a link takes no longer than the round-trip time (25-50 ms in most cases) to load the web page.

Have you tried the dillo web browser, for instance? It's refreshingly fast and snappy (including on my old atom netbook from 2008) to use.

I have had a subjective feeling for a while that some user interfaces felt "solid", almost tangible. To me, Windows XP does that. Windows 10 feels like a smokescreen next to it. There might be pretty colors, fancy gradients, but I do not feel like I directly control the UI anymore, I am forced to wait for an animation to finish, I have trouble determining where the window border is. And I've found it much harder to rely on my positional memory to navigate apps that have a smooth transition, like mobile apps.

This is not a rant against Windows10's UI (I have barely used it, and just use it to draw a comparison in the Windows family, you could also compare different KDE versions), but with contemporary user interfaces in general. That could even be said of some command-line interfaces. We're also used to progress bars, or worse: spinners. Trained to wait idle in front of our computers, while a dozen megabytes of frameworks are stuffed down the pipe so that the page background is just the right white shade (probably while I am using a dark theme, and the CSS rules to apply that shade probably only work correctly on Google chrome). That's what modern web feels like to me.
Why do any of those things need to be native apps, rather than instantly-accessible, no-install-required URLs that come with all the protections of the web's security model?

I've been complaining for a long time that `Drop` is fundamentally wrong. Rust's "just write a new function" fixed C++'s "construction is mutation of location", but Rust's Drop makes the same mistakes as C++: destruction needs to be for consuming data, not borrowing it and mutating it.

Now, we can't just do

drop<T>(T)

because of DSTs, so we we'll need a new type of consuming reference. And the dual to that, an initializing reference, would also solve the problem of creating DSTs with preallocated memory.

Now both could use MaybeUninit, but it would be better to just have types that vary with the CFG, so one can insure that no matter how one get to point b, the memory is now initialized.

For most engineers scrum is a non-technical PMI trained PMP Scrum Master asking the team if they are going to check-in their coding tasks by Friday.

Because traditional management techniques are primarily date driven, scrum easily devolves into little satisfying deadlines where the primary goal is to check something in by the date.
They prioritized showing up on searches over really precisely tuned results. If you search for an animated gif on any image search GIPHY hits are the main ones. It's all about that SEO.

And then they manage to make it hard to actually post the gif you found via the search engine, so you end up using the giphy platform to do it.
In what ways is it better than the csv module in the Python Standard Library? Or in other words, in which cases is it worth the effort to install pandas just for reading CSV files if your project otherwise doesn't use pandas?

>if the ? operator existed since the beginning, it would be seen as "too much magic" [...] That is, there's a path dependence, where the existence of try!() made the ? operator viable.

Yes, C++ creator Bjarne Stroustrup made a similar observation:

- For new features, people insist on LOUD explicit syntax.

- For established features, people want terse notation.

There seems to be an invisible "Overton Window" of evolving programming language features and syntax.

> I wonder if the people that could/cycle aren't already doing it

I would prefer to cycle, but don't currently. My commute (when there isn't a pandemic on, that is) goes from Vauxhall to King's Cross, which is straight through Westminster - not a great borough to cycle through.

Cycling this route is probably manageable, but it requires a lot more vigilance than I'd like to have to apply during my commute.

If this leads to a reduction in traffic I'll absolutely be cycling going forward, and I've heard the same from various colleagues.

Edit: Of course, there's also a Jay Foreman video on why Londoners don't cycle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gohSeOYheXg

The first thing that comes to mind is that I can use them offline. I don't need the internet to draw or play most games.

EDIT: I do understand you can make web apps that work offline by jumping through enough hoops. But then again, why would you? Why try to unnecessarily shoehorn everything into the web paradigm?

Let's take an iPad drawing app that is super well integrated with Apple Pencil. What benefit would forcing it onto the web bring, considering the performance hit and usage of specialized hardware?

Or a recording app that I might use to take voice notes or record other audio. Why does that need to be a web application?
There’s a brilliant cycle path from Woolwich to London. There is a lot of cycle storage in the new Royal Arsenal development down there.

It was an easy cycle as it’s flat yet when I did that route, there were only a handful of other cyclists. Yet the tube was packed.

There’s huge scope for getting more people onto bikes. There are still cultural challenges around cycling, which hopefully will be challenged by the lockdown.
Public markets are low down 15% now. It’s hardly a discount.

Moral flexibility and subjugation. The boss says to build a thing, you build the thing. If rewriting an infiniband driver and pinning it to a core on the server and processing requests in kernel space in exquisitely crafted C is what cuts reation time by 0.0000005 sec and makes the firm a few extra bucks, that's what you do.

I interviewed at a Manhattan HFT firm (~2015) and that's what they do. The boss noted that "Congress could make a law invalidating our business model" and I realized that would be a good idea. They're not making the world a better place; they're not providing a valuable service; they're just exploiting and extracting and skimming some dollars out of the market. They have money and they're in the right place so their money can grab more money.
Which to me is why it’s crazy these have so much fuel and burn so hard - while Virgin’s “plane” gets as high as it does.

I would not be surprised if the blatant copyright infringement that is rampant on Giphy has scared off potential buyers in the past.

I know, I know, there's an argument that it's fair use, but that doesn't mean that legal costs won't be incurred to make that argument, nor that the argument will be ultimately successful.

I suppose if there's any company that's able to take on that legal risk, it's Facebook.
In this case 30-45 minutes in the underground. I don't think we're talking about a couple of miles. While 5 miles on a bike each way is doable it's not a walk in the park for people that aren't used to it and for those hesitant about cycling in the city. Also 5 miles in an open stretch of road is not the same as 5 miles in the city. Even the new cycle lanes around it can be stop and start all the way. Lastly, the fact that people could do something doesn't necessarily mean that they will.
NYC did legalize e-bikes at the start of all this, a step in the right direction.

Instagram seemed expensive at $1bn in 2012 and ultimately turned out to be a very savvy buy, so I feel like I should trust Facebook on this one.

I'm kinda surprised Imgur hasn't sold in a similar way yet, it seems to have slightly more sense of community than Giphy which is more broadly known as a search engine for GIFs.
Here is a real nice trick I have learn.
How to give Error Code uniqueness numbers to Errors.
That helps to find it later (find all) inside the code repository, know who code it and when.

I use this method: https://breakpo.blogspot.com/2020/05/simple-system-to-track-...

YYYYMMDD.XXXHHII

This give a full uniqueness for the Error Code number among the team. XXX is a unique number each one of the developers in the team have.

So an error code could be: 20190412.1001643 For programmer number 100, on the 12th of April 2019 at 4:43PM

This allows me to know how old is the code, and who to blame in no time :-)
Why You Don’t Want to Use CSV Files
Giphy shows good results but the search is quite slow IMO, I hope this improves in the future.

If you haven't read Facebook by Steven Levy I recommend it, the book explains quite well what happened after the acquisitions of Instagram, Whatsapp, and Oculus.
But how does that preserve the relationship after I want them to no longer be tabs? The convert tabs to history or tabs to bookmarks destroys that relationship data.
Sad but very touching ... across culture and time.
Also when the two parties misjudge their relative military strength. If both parties were in relative agreement about what the outcome of their war would be they wouldn't have to fight one in order to negotiate changes to the status quo. That's why espionage can be a stabilizing force and the US and USSR had treaties during the latter parts of the cold war allowing each side to fly spy planes into the others territory to count missile sites.
Robots that use AI autonomously in the battlefield. Better chips = better and faster inferencing, which means faster reaction times. If both sides have such robots and both robots have similar kinetic weapons then who wins may boil down to how fast a neural network can identify the target and decide what to do.

This exactly. Just a quick comment; If you /duplicate/ a Tab, it inherits the history. This is pretty useful sometimes.
A quick glance suggests there's barely any skill in there and it's all bottom-feeders so you'd expect this to be an easy bust for law enforcement worldwide and yet they seem to be happily operating with total impunity for quite some time.
If you're on Win10, the Xodo PDF app is the best/fastest - and it allows editing and page order changes. And it's free.

And it's a dream to use on a touch screen. Trying to open the same high quality/density PDFs in Adobe (even just the reader) is an unresponsive nightmare.

I don't even understand how there can be such a significant difference in performance when Adobe created the format....
This.

I've long ago abandoned spaghetti mega-scripts and SPAs in favor of targeted JS libraries that extend HTML capabilities. They're not web components, they don't require some framework to manage, and my HTML works fine without them, but if I load the library and add certain attributes or tags to my markup, I get extra capabilities. The libraries don't require crazy tooling to manage, don't have extensive dependencies and so they facilitate steady incremental development.

I'm very happy with this approach and I'm reusing code I've written years ago for completely different projects.

Look at it a different way: why is our domain model hard to change?

Is it, I suspect, mostly because we failed DRY and repeated ourselves at the various layers? (i.e. our domain model is echoed in our DB, Redis cache, API structure, App structure, stylesheets...)

If that's the core problem, it's solvable two ways... an app with no backend, or a front-end that is fully generic serving up a backend that calls the domain model shots.

Red is kerosene, blue is liquid oxygen, orange is liquid hydrogen, the fuel that looks like fire is solid fuel (think compressed gunpowder).

Left to right: Saturn V, Space Shuttle, Falcon 9 Heavy, SLS (still under construction).

2:22, you hear Neil Armstrong say "inboard cutout," that is the center engine shutting off to limit the thrust, and therefore G-forces the astronauts felt. As fuel ran out, the rocket stack would weigh less and so the rocket would push harder. By the time the main engine cutoff, the Saturn V was pulling 4 and a half Gs.

Also, just noticed the SLS keeps its launch escape tower (the big needle on the top of the rocket - see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqeJzItldSQ) - this wouldn't happen in a real flight. The flight plan calls for ditching than when it's not longer useful - you can hear the Apollo 11 call saying, "tower jettisoned."
These kinds of acquisitions intrigue me. what is valuation crieteria?

And information (and software) could use matter or energy as medium for storage and transfer; e.g storing that python function as carbon traces on a piece of paper or transmitting it with photons through the fiber optic line.

For the lack of a better word, information (and software) is culture while matter and energy (carbon on paper, photons) are nature.
Right but grepping for "+" in emails is also high on the list of things I'd do to identify an unknown information dump. Given that he's used to dealing with those I'd be surprised if he hadn't thought of that, although it probably doesn't hurt asking him if he did try it.
I've always thought part of the "charm" of Giphy in Slack is that does give you those somewhat silly or "not exactly what I was looking for but actually this is funnier" type of GIFs.

The couple of times I have tried to use it to search for a very specific GIF (like searching for a specific clip from a movie) it hasn't really worked, but whenever I use it for more general stuff like "/giphy cardio sucks" or "/giphy hooray" I get some pretty pleasing results.
Indeed, 450mm was supposed to be a joke - kind of failed one as there are two responses about it.
I don't know anything about telecoms, but I work in a different area of software development in China and can confirm it is not uncommon for developers here to bring their whole previous employer's repo with them when they switch jobs. One of my most cringeworthy moments was when I saw the same XyzUtil class pop up in two different companies, and both had been sourced from the same (not open source) third company repo, with the same bug that I ended up fixing twice.

I suspect this happens in other countries too, but I think elsewhere people make an effort to be less obvious about it. I get the impression copy paste programming isn't as looked down upon here as it is in the west.
