From the perspective of a java developer, this makes total sense.

From the perspective of a sysadmin who just wants to deploy an app that ships as a jar and doesn't come pre-packaged with any convenience features like you mentioned, it's an awful lot to work out and learn.
I think the most interesting part of homemade telescope making is that you can check the curve of your homemade mirror to an accuracy of a fraction of a wavelength of light with a handful of common household items. You can do this using the Foucault knife-edge test [1] [2].

> It measures mirror surface dimensions by reflecting light into a knife edge at or near the mirror's centre of curvature. In doing so, it only needs a tester which in its most basic 19th century form consists of a light bulb, a piece of tinfoil with a pinhole in it, and a razor blade to create the knife edge.

Of course you don't need a light bulb. A candle will do. This means that once you have a level of technology that can make glass discs, candles, something opaque with a way to make a pinhole in it, something opaque with a thin straight edge, abrasive grit in a range of sizes, and some way to coat a glass surface with a thin layer of metal, you can make telescope mirrors.

Much of that could be done in ancient times. The only things on that list I'm not sure about are abrasive grit and coating the mirror.

You want a series of grits from coarse to very fine, and I have no idea when grit making became refined enough to have such a range of sizes.

Coating a mirror can be done with silver. Here are some instructions for doing it at home [3]. You need silver nitrate, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, detergent, acetone, and nitric acid if you follow this instructions, plus assorted hardware like stirring rods, absorbent cotton, beakers and bottles, and that kind of thing. I think all of that goes back at least a few hundred years.

You put it so well. I am from India and what you said has been my experience too. If you have less money, your worth falls so much that you are barely considered human. I grew up in Mumbai as a high schooler and saw abject poverty. I have also lived in USA for close to 20 years and when I go back to India I don't remember the mental tools I used to use to harden myself against the massive injustice that cannot be ignored but one must to stay sane.

e.g. My family and I were driving in a Maruthi 800 car and we stopped at the light. A little boy of 8 years came upto another car in front with a bunch of roses. He gave on rose to the person in the car but by then the light turned green and everybody started driving. The boy ran after this car with all his might he could gather from every single fiber in his body so he could collect the pennies. I remember my parents and I looking at this scene with sadness.

When I used to travel by the suburban trains, I used to see little babies begging. I later learnt that the beggars were part of a much larger and powerful begging network. The adults would lay their (supposed) child with a big ulcer popping out the child's stomach so the passers-by would have pity and drop some change. I remember wanting to commit suicide after seeing such scenes. I used to look away just so I did not have to face the obvious questions that arise. It's a cruel world without money and no wonder we are all grabbing at whatever we can grab at driven by fear that one day we could end up in penury. It is the same in the USA sadly. A family is just one major sickness away from bankruptcy. The financially weak and people without power suffer everywhere.

Update: It looks like YouTube acts differently with regard to cookies, depending on how the user's Do-Not-Track (DNT) header is set.

If the DNT header isn't present (likely the default for most users), then the YouTube 'YSC' cookie is indeed set, and the author's issue is reproducible.

Since the DNT header didn't see much adoption[1], it's likely not a workable solution to this privacy concern.

Assuming the correct behaviour is that the NHS site shouldn't set any third-party cookies before user consent is provided, could anyone chime in with how to resolve this?

Is there a way that the NHS could resolve this via server-side CSRF configuration, or something similar? Or would it be necessary to only render YouTube-related HTML content after consent is granted?

Generally things like that in games re-render from scratch on every frame. Since it happens every frame, you don't need state management to push updates around. Everything just grabs the latest value anyway.

The DOM on the other hand is stateful, and is very slow to mutate, which is the core problem of high-level web dev and really not something developers have any control over.
This is a terrible use-case for the command-line.
If we get back to RSS, can we at least all stick to Atom 1.0 :) ? It's way stricter, simpler and easier to use, and I never found a parser that was not accepting it.
>Hmm, if you get anxiety from closing and opening tabs, you should probably go offline for a while.

You'll be able to go offline for a while thanks to RSS feeds.

You can click one button to check for feed updates and know you're up to date on things or what's new.

vs.

1) Open browser

2) Load folder of bookmarks for favorite sites

3) Look through each tab to see if there's new content.

To me given those two scenarios RSS feeds seem much more efficient and I do get anxiety when I'm repeating menial tasks potentially multiple times a day for no perceivable benefit.

RSS is another victim of the manipulation of social media companies trying to steal everyone's attention and time.
Those all seem like valid points. Especially about $$. I am wondering if JIRA can't handle the equivalent of a monorepo, with one giant project. Was that the situation?

Also, I don't intend to defend JIRA from a cost or infrastructure perspective, just as a tool.

If you are shopping around for a ticketing system might I offer this generic minimum spec sheet:
* Items should all have a unique identifier that can be used in the developers workflow
* Any item should be able to be a sub-item of another item.
* It should be fast enough to not waste development time (time spent in tool).

If your ticketing/work/bug system doesn't allow those (and I believe GitHub issues might not), then you are doing your team a disservice.

The reason I usually turn to JIRA, is that somehow it manages to be everything to everyone. I was managing a small team at a startup, and the developers only looked at the detail view and the kanban view. Almost any "update" to JIRA happened via including a ticket number in a git commit, branch, etc. However, the QA team, had some crazy pipeline that happened after the engineers deemed it done, and those two workflows didn't affect each other, and worked seamlessly. Product, had an entirely different workflow before engineers even saw a ticket. Then after grooming, and sprint planning, the team set a goal of how which tickets would be done and in what order. Engineers would go back to their desk, and just use JIRA for viewing the details and commenting on things usually for product/design. Also, if I wanted to cut a release of something (at the time we did weekly deploys, even though master was always considered deployable at any time), and I could click a button in JIRA to make a release that automatically knew what had changed from git. All of those tickets got updated to `released` automatically from the deploy.

You may not need JIRA. But a lot of engineers have put a lot of hours into a marvel of software that does way too many things. Its an amazing tool. But you may not need a multi-tool such as JIRA. You might just need a hammer.

(Lastly out of curiosity, have you contacted their support about optimizing your performance? I am curious before I choose self-hosting in the future.)
I'm in Germany, so I quickly googled for some stats on Amazon's market share. [1] In Q2 2019, their biggest market share is in electronics at 24%, with toys/sports at 18% and books at 15%. Everything else is 6-10%.

I understand your concern, but the reason that anti-trust legislation is not addressing this is that there is frankly no monopoly here.

I’ve read that some vector instruction sets use masking instructions to avoid branching. You execute both arms of the conditional and discard the unwanted computation, which can be cheaper than an X% chance of a branch misprediction.

Should CPUs include more masking instructions for regular, non-vectorized code as well?

This is a terrible use-case for the command-line. One of the worst ideas I have come across.
I find this standard ridiculous. We dont apply similar standards to blogs nor videos nor art - them being crappy is not "taking away our attention resource".

Publishing them is not using someone elses attention. And I dont go around hating on eHow. I do expect google to put them down in ranking over time and I do structure my queries so that I dont hit them.

Also, small one time open source project is not tweaking SEO like content farms. That comparison does not work either.
I mean, I would still agree with what you said knowing it's a parody.
JIRA Cloud generally feels slow. I was trying to defend the software tool itself.
I agree that betting on publicly traded indices does not represented a targeted bet on the economy. I disagree that bankruptcy is a big risk to index fund investors.

Daniel Compton: Open Source Is Free As in Baby: https://danielcompton.net/2014/11/19/dependencies

> I think of someone releasing open source software as a gift to the world, not as claiming a responsibility to maintain it for you. Some projects do claim that responsibility, but it’s not automatically conferred just because someone released a project on GitHub. I think much more of the responsibility falls on the person using it.
Sure -- not saying it's as good as presenting make-for-rss posts -- may be helpful in some cases though.
At least I'll know that content changes, and if I don't like the virtual feed, I can just link out to the source and view it directly.
It’s an important point for those who may unknowingly over engineer.
It removes profit incentive of reselling land to somebody who wants to use it. It doesn't remove profit incentive of the activity you'd want to perform on that land.

Land under 100% LVT only becomes an input to production. And makes it unprofitable for holding it for somebody else.

When you are in business of making apple pies you simply buy apples as input. You don't need any middlemen holding them for you if you can hold them yourself.
I’m unconvinced because the instruction set sizes are already becoming fairly bloated (increasing microcode translation cost and i-cache pressure) but also because CPUs already do speculative execution which has a nearly equivalent effect to the idiom you’re referring to.

A group of online friends who are just like you quickly turns into an echo chamber.

It's pretty widely argued now that we are losing empathy for people who are not just like us because of this.
Unfortunately, for people who suffer from a chronic illness, they have to deal with people like you. You might propose something that seems simple and normal to you, like, let's go here for lunch. They have to explain they can't because they have a very real medical condition, then they have to put up with people not believing them, thinking they're blowing it out of proportion, or just not wanting to make accommodations for them. It can be very degrading and isolating to live like this.

One way to minimize the amount of BS like that that you put up with is by just stating up front, "I have this condition." If the other person listens and responds positively, then you can probably find common ground. If instead they think, "Uh oh, heeeeere we go," you know to dismiss them.

Sorting is the case study but not the insight. I think the cool/surprising part of the article is that doing more work can be faster... Even more memory work (which per conventional wisdom is not trivial!)
>On that note, is the inherent land value of a lot in Bushwick way higher then 20 years ago now that they've gentrified? Is neighborhood desirability an 'unimproved' attribute?

Yes. Desirability and infrastructure near land increases it's unimproved value.

That’s the reasonable choice for consumer facing applications, yeah. For server applications it makes more sense to use something like Docker or a pre-built AMI.

For what I do “how do I get Java on the server” is much less difficult than making deployments quicker and more efficient, which is more a problem for our CI/CD harness and integration tests. Neither of which are Java specific per se.
So, our rendering engine basically sucks? I guess browsers would eat up tons of battery if it rendered any faster.
Tink does EAX on most platforms, and Chapoly and I think SIV (deterministic, misuse-resistant) on all of them.
I think driving towards the point of this thread, I could envision a JIRA plugin which helps writing complete and well defined stories of manageable size. It could simply be a template with appropriate sections, or a Q&A bot which drills down to the requirements.
If all education was free. I would be much willing to study forever.

Here are the benefits of get:

1. Cheap accommodation

2. Access to high tech cutting edge equipment on university premise

3. I'd sleep in fully air conditioned library making excuses that I fell asleep while studying in library.

Access to free internet and machinery/test equipment alone would be enough for me to join free university.

Then I'd study there untill I discover something and rise to fame or find some idea to turn into into a profitable business then exist the university and kiss it goodbye.

Ah! that's different. What you are talking about is the Devanagari script. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari

That's not the only script that Sanskrit was written in. Devanagari wasn't even the first script that Sanskrit was written in. In fact Sanskrit did not have an 'official' script. Marathi and Gujarati also uses Devanagari with a few minor differences.
Vetting a maintainer is non-zero work. But it's also not all that much. Especially if said maintainer has already contributed meaningful PRs against your repository.

While you're technically correct that people don't owe anyone anything, I've often had the experience of using an open source library that was otherwise excellent, except that it had critical bugs that hadn't been patched, or that it hadn't been updated to work with the latest versions of it's dependencies. Popular repositories like this often have tens of high-quality pull-requests fixing these issues, but using them is non-trivial because you'd have to merge everything. These PRs pile up for a few months until someone realises that the repo is unmaintained and forks. At which point you have two versions of the project (often with the same name), and everyone is left to figure out which one they should use.

It would save everyone a lot of bother if maintainers of these repositories took half an hour to update everyone that they didn't have time to maintain the repository and pass the baton on to someone / some people who do.
Tutorial on building a desktop app with Go and Goey
It depends on what you’re developing, who the target users are and how much you need to charge to sustain yourself. It also depends on your skills and how much time you’re willing to invest in creating a desktop application (doing one that’s cross platform, that performs well and works like a native app on each platform would take a significant amount of effort).

Native desktop apps targeted at the average user are better done on macOS, since that platform has a higher percentage of users who will pay (compared to the percentage of users who’d just pirate it).

Applications targeted at professional users, corporate users and developers can get an audience that’s willing to pay on any platform.

If your application is better done as a service, and you’d like better control on managing versions, a web based SaaS might make sense.

Modern Universities do not teach how to spot equal-but-opposite thoughts, concepts, arguments, and ideas.

In other words, they teach students what to think, not how to think...

Upon graduation, the new graduate (in addition to their college loans and degree!) has, by virtue of their education, been given a virtual "grab bag" of many small, relative, convenient truths which only relate to special circumstances and corner cases, which all have intelligent and impressive sounding lingo/jargon/buzzwords/"$2 names" attached to them, such that the graduate may then, later on in life, pick and choose from this "grab bag" and selectively apply those small relative truths to any problem (and sound very intelligent in the process!) that they or someone else may be having...

...All while missing the big picture, and/or conveniently ignoring one or more other larger, more important truths that may be present as well. (Error of Omission).

When I hear minor truths, by a so-called "Academic", selectively applied to a problem or problems, I think to myself, with respect to what the speaker/writer said:

"Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it." (With my apologies to the Principal in Billy Madison!)

Yes, it is actually possible to dumb things down while appearing smart, and the way this is done is through selective (minor) truth observation, AKA "Error Of Omission".

Otherwise known as missing the big picture, putting too much attention on minutiae, making mountains out of molehills, presenting the weaker argument as the stronger, etc., etc.

It happens in academic papers, it happens in the news media...

"Grab Bags" of small, relative truths, but small relative truths with impressive sounding languaging around them...

And yet, there are a lot of good academic papers, and education (the right education!) is valuable from many other perspectives...
The business model of RSS is harder than just slapping ads on your homepage and encouraging more page clicks. I think that's the real reason you don't see a strong RSS ecosystem. The content producers don't have a strong financial incentive to support it well.
