Google excels at closing down projects. With all the recent stories I’ve been reading about problems with the extensions team, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Chrome is losing extensions. No extensions - no ad blockers - more money for Google.
You don't give it to 3 random people. You give it to a team which depends on it. It's not a side project because if that breaks your project breaks.
If people increasingly head back to FF or other alternates?
Just adjust the width of your browser window to whatever width you prefer and the text will follow. That is, after all, what a browser was supposed to do: show text. If you use Firefox you can also open the inspector and select a mobile view (the two-screen icon top-right in the inspector frame/window) but that is more work for the same effect.

We understand nothing “exactly” in this universe, but this is a thread about estimation hacks so maybe cool it on the fun fact witch hunt.? Idk just a thought.
I've had discussions like this in the past, where people ask me "can we do it in 3 days instead of 5?" And I've found the easiest way to sell it to them is to ask which 40% of the feature set they would like me to remove from the deliverable?
I would not. Facebook.com still operates with or without that system. Especially now with COVID-19, I’m sure it’s not being used at all.

You're not taking their need to socialize seriously! I hesitate to even respond, because the idea that it's childish to have concerns about extreme social distancing for 9+ months is so absurdly disrespectful that you frankly don't deserve my time.

I hate the "serverless" term, but I think people just use "serverless" for platforms where you can write some code and it will be automatically deployed, hosted and scaled on their server(s). So instead of "serverless" it's more like pre-configured managed server clusters running where you can only run restricted code/functions.

I personally don't understand who the target audience is, as small apps/companies very rarely (if ever) need to scale and large enterprise companies are probably better off hiring a sys admin and getting their own dedicated servers, which would lead to a lot more flexibility, performance and reduced costs.
GCP most certainly does have support engineers available!

There's a variety of different tiers to suit your required level of support, and some products (e.g. G Suite) come with free in-built support.

I believe that in the left-pad case, NPM severely violated the overall trust put in their management by handing over a package name (that other people might depend on) without a legal process. Now that NPM has faltered like that once, you basically need to verify yourself that every package that you use is still the same one by the same author, i.e. that NPM hasn't silently transferred the name to someone else.

Every stock market investor knows that you should always diversify your risk. So never make yourself deoendent on the whims of some single or few BIG_COMPANIES.

Specifically:

> no Stream/Epic store listing

There exist lots of stores: Epic, Steam, GOG, Humble Store, itch, ... So diversify the risks of being dependent on the whims of one or few of them.

> no cloud servers

Write your server-side applications in a way that does not depend too much on the specific details of the cloud implementation of a specific cloud provider so that you can rather easily switch to another cloud provider if necessary.
Travelling long haul in 1939: Melbourne to New York (2015)
Sure but people understand the basic transaction (give money -> get milk). If on the other hand they gave you free milk but tracked your milk usage without telling you, I'd argue that's a non-consensual transaction and falls under stealing (roughly).
Or, depending on the country, it was never part of the property right in the first place.
From your remark about deployments, I'm assuming you're not using Distillery or Mix releases? If you use a release, you can deploy a tar.gz with "batteries" included (everything you need to run your app, including the BEAM).
At work we have a dozen of elixir apps running smoothly in Production on plain Debian containers.
There are various reading/learning styles. For a "understand each step before moving to the next" style, local incomprehensibility has strong implications for global. But for a "didn't understand that bit, so skip ahead" style, what matters is recoverability - robustness to localized incomprehension. How "lost" you become when you don't understand some bit.

Here, if you don't understand identity.bind, or even do-notation, you can read on without losing much. Not understanding the section title, is not an obstacle to understanding the section. And so on.

The intro has nice non-local clarity. The dialog structure; having summaries.

I'd not stereotype a "Haskell writing style", but I certainly encounter writing elsewhere which seems to reflect a mindset of "since you've reached this paragraph N, you obviously fully understand, remember, and appreciate the implications of, everything that has been said earlier, so we can happily take this next step without any distracting redundancy, context, motivation, or other annotation". Which... needs to be approached in a particular way to avoid degrading nongracefully.

I also appreciated the intro's "here's how I suggest approaching learning the language".
Basically--it's a struct containing a byte array, weight, scale, and sign, and all the arithmetic operations are implemented in software. So it's really slow, and each RDBMS has to implement this type from scratch, or find a vendor lib that provides a suitable one, because C/C++ standard libraries don't provide one.

It does - there are surely some number of deaths that would be recorded as flu deaths if doctors considered that a reasonable thing to do. I don't think any conclusions in any direction can be drawn from the comparison.
What was the "other side" of leftpad? As far as I remember, the broken system wrought havoc, not the developer who chose to withdraw his modules. I don't think the developer's reasons are much relevant when discussing how reliable their word is.

There's a fairly general way to do mail import that works fine with Fastmail, and might be more flexible if you would like to combine the import with reorganization your mail folders. This assumes both providers support IMAP.

1. Set up both providers on an IMAP client that supports multiple simultaneous accounts.

2. Copy messages from the old provider to the new by simply selecting them in the old provider's folders in your IMAP client and dragging them to wherever you want them in the new provider's folders.

As long as you pick an IMAP client that supports copying between IMAP servers, this should do it. I used either Apple Mail or Outlook for this. I don't remember which.
Does it mean you have to let them come and actually dig in your land? Or just tolerate the drilling sound as they bore from outside your territory?
The review mentions that the screen is a bit small for all of Krita and suggests that using something like a big iPad probably provides a better experience.

As this is only about Android I thought of promoting my take on this problem. In fact I released a small program I use to take handwritten notes via iPad on my Linux system just a few weeks ago. It works on both Android and iOS and basically turns these devices into graphic tablets. You can take a look at: https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus
The alternative, which much of Europe is following, is lock down until cases are at sufficiently low level that test, trace and isolate can work effectively. Community wide measures such as mandatory mask wearing help with this.

We are deeply embarrassed about Sweden.
Well the same reason you don't share your email with the FBI and agree to be monitored at all times.

I wear a mask, and I choose to wear a mask. I also wore a mask before it was "supported" by the CDC. If tomorrow it was legally required, I would stop wearing a mask.

How do you mange cost, then? If you host your container on a DigitalOcean VPS, you can just spin one up in a few clicks and you have a consistent, predictable pricing. Who would be the target audience using "serverless" over spinning up a few virtual or dedicated servers? I haven't heard of any company that needed to instantly scale from 1k to 1m users overnight.
Apple Just Gave 1.5B iPad, iPhone Users a Reason to Leave
I‘m in a city of 3.5 Million that saw 15 to 20 new infections per day over the last week (Berlin, Germany). At that level, it’s perfectly possible to mostly open up again and still reduce infections further by extensively tracking every single case and their contacts.
I mean, all well and good if the only package manager you've ever heard of on macOS is Homebrew, but there are others _and_ Homebrew is of questionable enough quality/has made enough questionable decisions (especially with the last major upgrade) that many people are justified in abandoning or not using it in the first place.

And that's beside the fact that 1) outside of your bubble, more devs use Windows than any other OS, 2) the person who wrote this article isn't even a software engineer, and 3) the tests weren't even run on macOS.
For one, because you select your tools and reject others not based on their rational merits.

Second, because you are also likely to favor recruitment of other devs based on this cultural choice not on their merit, eventually creating a clique.

I had to stop somewhere with the explanations. I was mainly addressing people already familiar with Roam, and also decided that Zettelkasten as a term is quite easily googleable.

Women feel lesser if they do not perform certain things that are in fashion, some kind of peer pressure. Who sets that fashion? Who is sick to want a women choke and gag on a man’s penis? You enjoy vomit? I dont think it has a place in healthy sexuality.

And let me explain what I mean in the last paragraph of my previous comment: the extreme commercialization typical of capitalism is responsible for amplifying these memes, normalizing new things that are degrading for some and hence exploitative in nature.

PR, probably.
I was wondering the same--I guess because it's fairly new (2018) and it came out of a database research group at a European university, rather than a SV tech firm. Therefore, limited marketing budget.

You know it, I know it, MDB knows it, and most of their customers know it, but that doesn't matter: the stock market doesn't. MDB wants to be valued like a durable-database company, and to be able to charge durable-database prices. They need a plausible durable-database story to get those, regardless of what actual current users want.

It is possible there are still potential users not buying until they get that story. MDB wants those users.
I generally just use the built-in reader view, so it's not really that much hassle, it's just slightly more work. Plus, reader view gets rid of all of the styles on the page, which would be nice to avoid.
What about if someone gives you a free lunch but doesn’t tell you that they’re going to film you eating? Is that stealing?
This, twice.

Back in the day people would balk at hiring Python programmers saying, "there are so many more Java programmers", and I used to say, "Why would you hire a Java programmer who was unwilling or unable to learn Python?"

Same logic applies here: Why would you hire a Python programmer who was unwilling or unable to learn Erlang? (Especially if you're going to pay them to do it!)

If you can't switch languages you're a kind of technician not a programmer.

FWIW, having done it professionally for ~15 years I'll never write another large project in Python again. Erlang's runtime is so much better than Python's it's just ridiculous. I feel stupid for not realizing this sooner.
Nah, the tinfoil hattery is always there, in the people that demand that type of content. The creative writers of the stuff will always incorporate the latest events into their existing plotlines. Covid is a goldmine for them.

> With leftpad he told Kik, "fuck you"

In response to a threat starting with "We don’t mean to be a dick about it" and ending with "our trademark lawyers are going to be banging on your door and taking down your accounts and stuff like that", I did say "fuck you" to Kik.

If that makes me the character in your mind, enjoy your imagination.
Well, you can enable developer mode, extract the extension, add it manually, re-enable developer mode every time Chrome starts, and manually update to each new version...

Do you also not wear a seatbelt because it's legally required?

Pretty small brained stuff on display here.
I'm surprised those who have survived covid haven't found a way to self-identify, like green wristbands or something that say "immune" or "survivor," and wear those in place of masks.

Not recommending this, it would still create some of the same problems, but I'm surprised it just hasn't naturally emerged from individual incentives.
It is known that the more moving parts a system has, the more likely it is for one of them to fail, thus for the entire system to malfunction.
I meant distribution as a zip file that you can load in developer mode, like the installation instructions for Bypass Paywall ( https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome ). It's not a very user friendly installation process but it still works. But yes, CRX-based sideloading no longer works on Chrome.

> IT departments should probably enforce single sign on and use a password alert to prevent a password being typed into a webpage. They should also prevent downloads of executable files from non-whitelisted origins for most staff.

I can hear the developers raising Hell at just the suggestion that they don't have local root and free reign with brew, docker, and npm. PMs and marketing can be relied upon to react similarly to being told that they have to use SSO-equipped tools that have been through procurement, and not someone's random free shared Retrium or whatever. That SSO tends to add a zero or two to the cost makes them even more skittish, on top of the chance that the procurement process says no.

Trying to enforce SSO use can be challenging.
The point of lockdowns in the US was to delay the peak of cases until hospitals had time to prepare and could more likely have enough capacity.

This seems a very difficult point for most people.

Early on, we had an exponential rise in cases and it appeared we would overwhelm hospitals. Therefore quarantine orders were issued (rather delayed imo) to offset the growth and allow hospitals to not have more cases than beds/equipment.

We had a lot less data initially and had to be proactive. The initial call was correct, and slowly easing it with monitoring is correct now.
How true!

Your own comments come out as one-sided as anyone can be...
Yeah. You formulated my opinion much more elegantly than I could've - in my experience it's always the "Well if the tests didn't catch this, we just aren't testing enough." Which in my experience is a losing strategy, you'll never test "enough" in languages like Ruby.

In my experience this idea always brings a strawman, "Well in statically typed languages you still have to test", which is obviously true. But the type of tests and the content of the tests is very different.
Nobody seems to like it. Someone has any idea on why the company still has their revenue increasing ?

We’re the most capable. “Smartest” is ambiguous. But we have more people working more productively on more problems than the Romans did. And we’re finding new solutions faster and more broadly.

Roman administration was ahead of its time. It serves as great precedent. But a single agency of modern bureaucracy outclasses the Roman Republic or Empire on almost every metric.
You're entirely incorrect though about 'Europe'. Though seems kind of logical if you follow US based news sources. They leave out a lot of detail and get things wrong. Various countries in Europe were heavily affected healthcare wise.

That you say it's not the case while linking to only your own county.. feels bad.
It seems like you have the only good use case for it pegged down. I've worked at multiple companies that really, really didn't understand that putting something into the DB comes with some probability that it'll never come out. The arguments were "but it's a dataBASE, it stores data. They'd never sell this as a product if it LOST data; then it wouldn't be a database..."
They were only allowed back on after they've turned it into a big story online.
Lunch and Learn: Application Infrastructure
Completely agree. I worked at a company on a Common Lisp project where the Python crew refused to learn Common Lisp because they thought it would look bad on their resumes. This should be a litmus test for programmer quality: If they don't want to learn something because it's not "fashionable", they're probably lousy programmers who lack confidence in their own abilities. Do you really want these people working for you?
I maintain quite a few high-traffic packages on npm and have done so for years. Npm is really bad about handling any sort of situation with any amount of grace.

Per my anecdotal experience, they are really good at choosing the outcome that benefits them the most/harms them the least - which wouldn't upset me since most companies do this, but it's Npm's "we're here for the community" type of fake attitude that has always bothered me.
