From what i know, their CI offering tries to aim for very quick build times. Quick as in quick enough to actually allow dynamic looking website to be built with gatsby statically (eg. site rebuilt on every user post). Even their pricing reflects this, they charge by how many times the site is updated, regardless of build time.

I think that looks like a pretty hard problem, i wouldn’t call their CI simple.

Joe Biden, in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”[1]

> Hillary Clinton attended Wellesley and Yale, and speaks like someone who did,

Hillary Clinton put on a terrible fake Arkansas accent for the beginning of her political career, talked about baking pies, and quoted country-western songs in interviews. The reason she uses her natural accent in her later career is because she has positioned herself as a "wonk," and often against Republicans who were doing folksy.

i.e. she's looking for a different set of Americans to "fall for it." Trying to appeal to an audience who thinks that everybody else is a sucker and they're the shrewd one.

When she goes to black churches, she puts it on again. Instantly starts dropping her g's and praising the lord like she would never do in a white church.
A data-driven trip through the USA
I believe capitalism can work well on a micro-scale when the products are simple enough that consumers can exert perceivable pressure on producers. Make a better hammer? I'll buy a better hammer.

Where modern capitalism falls down is complexity. There's 3 (non-niche) desktop operating systems, for example, and way more than 3 attributes that consumers care about in a computer. Or cars, or TVs, or airplanes, or anything else that costs more than $20. There's simply not enough levers by which consumers can send any meaningful signal through the market to producers. This breaks the Invisible Hand.
Sometimes those things are reimbursed. For a lot of companies this switch has not been the same as hiring a remote employee - and thus the reimbursement has been varied.

"Snacks" can include whole meals and quality food which is both a monetary and time benefit. It won't move the needle, but it's another thing on the list.

I suspect companies will shake this out and factor it into compensation and reimbursement plans where relevant over the next few months, but it's fair to see it as a notable new set of expenses for some people.

> An uneducated populace voting is a worst-case scenario for a representative democracy.

I'd probably say that the worst-case scenario is a populace that doesn't care whether their representative is educated on the issues.

There are many things that I consider myself uneducated in, but as long as my representative has similar values, is not corrupt, is competent and finds and listens to experts in the relevant fields, then I don't necessarily consider that to be a problem.

We should be electing people we trust to care about the detail of stuff that doesn't interest normal humans, not people we'd like to have a beer with.
Nothing major in the way of other problems—-think the command line utility might have been a little quirky but that was about it.

But for a visual file comparison tool having giant light regions of the screen in dark mode actually affects functionality in a significant way. The “theming” doesn’t actually theme most of the interface chrome so only minor parts of it go dark, at least last I tried it a month ago.

I haven’t tried it in Windows dark mode. Might work better there. On Mac it’s probably using a Lazarus-based widget library, assuming it’s still written in Delphi, and it probably just doesn’t integrate with the system well.

To be clear, I paid Scooter Software for the pro version back in the 90s and about two years ago again. What I’m saying is I’m licensed for it and still have been looking for other apps because it’s not good enough anymore. I’m not just spitballing, unfortunately :(

How it works

The solution is simple: Bake the vehicle’s interior until viruses inside are inactivated. Using Police Interceptor Utility’s own powertrain and climate control systems, this software solution enables vehicles to elevate passenger compartment temperatures beyond 133 degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than Death Valley on its hottest day, for 15 minutes – long enough to help disinfect vehicle touchpoints.

Or maybe the negativity of social media and the popularity of sad music isn't the cause, but the effect? People listen to sad music because they're sad. The news is negative, because the world is going to shit. People "glorify" depression, because they're depressed. A meme about depression might seem like glorification, but it's probably just be a way for depressed people to connect. What you call glorification, could just be people sharing their experiences with people who feel the same way.

Trump stated an opinion about what he personally believes will happen if mail-in ballot use is expanded. He might be incorrect, but Twitter singling this out to promote opposing opinions is by no means "fact checking."

Never seen anything like this before in a programming language (VHDL/Verilog supports this sort of stuff of course):

onchange(x){ doSomething()}//on change of x, perform an action
every(x){ doSomething(x)}//as above but including initial value
await(x; x > 2)//pause execution until the condition is met
trans{//a transaction acting upon two references
a -= 10
b += 10
}
z <= a+b//shorthand for every
z <- a+b//shorthand for onchange

Is this novel to abstract languages? Would something like this work in a language without a VM like C++?

I imagine needing registrations of these conditionals in the VM to watch and execute.

No, internet dating is no different than real life, it just mirrors the nature of things and is very harsh. Some people might find things that certain people want superficial, but that's ascribing morality to a very biological and carnal need.

Slight correction: "To an accountant, a drop in costs is MORE valuable to the business as a rise in revenue." This is because an increase in revenue of 1M does not increase profits by 1M, but a cost cut of 1M can.

FreeBSD: Beta Git conversion available for experimentation
I had to rewrite an app as well - but it turned out to be incredibly simple.

Here's my first commit: https://github.com/kickscondor/duxtape/commit/55dbde9519aedb.... Can't really call it a rewrite - more of a search-and-replace. (Though I had a bit of code that used the old peer sockets - and that code works differently now.)
Not quite. First, a map from a WeakRef to a value wouldn't do anything useful, since a WeakRef's target dying does not magically blow away the WeakRef itself. Second, you would have no way of getting from an object to its WeakRef(s), so you couldn't do a lookup anyway. But those criticisms are unfair; you're just using loose language to mean a map whose entries hold their keys weakly and values strongly.

But it's not that either. If it were that, and your key died but your map didn't, then the value would still be kept alive. And it doesn't hold both key and value weakly; in that case, you could have both map and key alive and yet the value could die; WeakMaps won't allow that.

It's something subtly different. It's a collection where both the key and map have to be live for the WeakMap entry to keep the value alive. "Weak" in the name is something of a misnomer, in my opinion. Weak normally means "something that can refer to an object without keeping it alive". WeakMap entries are not weak, they are normal strong references that very much keep their values alive -- but only if both the map and key are both alive.
I worked in a supermarket about 10 years ago as a stocker, among other things. A lot of our expired products were donated to various places, but a not-insignificant amount was also thrown away or literally poured down the drains due to laws preventing it from being sold or given away (IIRC). Also this is the end of the chain, I don't know how they operate at a higher level of distribution.

On a phone, you've only got a couple inches to view at a time. It's TOTALLY different. If all you do as a designer is take things in store and literally transcribe them to a phone, it won't work. It's a terrible way to design.

And I still don't understand difference between featured and store pick btw.
That is... exactly what the author is advocating.

Not a response to parent comment, but does anyone know of studies of people that describe their self-assessment? My impression is that most people think they're weirder than they are, i.e. most people fall within a band of what everyone would call normal, but they often self-assess as weird in one way or the other.

i.e. for parameter X which typically ranges between x and x' and for which people estimate themselves at x1, they typically severely underestimate the size of the range (x,x') and conclude that x1 is outside it, when it's really inside it.

We like to talk about 'organic' in tech but to farmers that meant "pig shit" up until a few decades ago.

The Docker and Git CLI both grew organically. Each new feature had to fit into the gaps between the old features without reusing the same terminology, and sometimes the easiest spot to implement something is not the spot you would first guess it should be. So it gets tacked on somewhere else to avoid coupling.

Rewriting an interface is difficult, and some people do it too often ('upgrade treadmills') or try to avoid doing it at all.

It was a work for hire service that he refused, the speech argument is pretty flimsy (to me at least).

A family of night owls! So lucky!!! I have an ex-wife who was a strict by-the-clock sleeper, and a son who is a natural morning riser. Even in his teens, he regularly says goodnight by himself at 10 pm because he's tired, and wakes up at 7 am. (I love him more than anything, but why???)

This morning I went to bed at 6:30 am. So, yeah. Having your family around to spend time with in the middle of the night sounds like a dream come true to me!

> Looking at Docker CLI, there are like a bazillion commands and it takes forever to read through the docs to find out what exactly to use.

Is this really a problem of CLI or just an example of a complex application? If we take for example something like excel or photoshop, then you can't easily figure what to do, even if the doc is directly embedded inside the UI.

> Back to discoverability, is there a way to make CLI "more discoverable"? Reading the man page doesn't count.

Why? It's an additional step, but can count as basic knowledge, similar to how someone needs to know how a mouse works and what the buttons do, before they can start using a GUI.

> Like can we combine the advantages of CLI with the discoverability of GUIs?

No, the moment you embedd the discoverabilty of GUI it stops being a CLI. TUI exist, and they do offer the same elements as GUI, just with less flexibility because text and so. But TUI serves a different purpose. You can't automate spatial interfaces as you can automate a cli. You need a dedicated way for allowing this, which is the main reason why CLI is so popular.

What you could do is defining many many APIs and protocols and guidelines, then define your interface in some generic way which allows you to automatic spin out a discoverable interface as also a useful automation-interface. But who wants that? That is extra work.

Simplistic? I've been reading investigative reports of his very narcissistic, unstable behavior for decades. He's no different in office, just far more visible.

He's not playing a media game when he praises every network that talks him up, and calls everyone else Never Trumpers, conspiracies, and fake news.

That's a narcissist who can't accept ever being wrong. Have you ever seen how he waffles and grabs at any straw any time he's told to his face that something he said or tweeted was blatantly wrong? It's very obvious, diagnosable behavior.

Not simplistic at all. More like all too well informed, and honestly afraid of what his personality cult might do even beyond the damage they've already caused.

800 votes were "improperly bundled" and 2390 out of about 16000 had non-matching signatures, and people who say they didn't vote are recorded as having voted.

Sounds like the security features of vote by mail are working as designed. A very small race like this is the only scenario where someone might bother to attack it this way, and there are thousands of them, so if that's what this is, I guess it's not surprising to see it happen somewhere.
The existence of such a diversity of views on whether or not the statement was factual or not factual is enough of a good reason to see why this feature is not a good idea.

The discussion being had between diverse perspectives is not helped when the platform starts flagging things with its own hand-picked opinion.

Not GP, but there was a huge economy around banner / ads being embedded in Flash games, and those games being shared widely / distributed on many different sites.

There were many "portal" sites that showed (hosted) many games and showed ads alongside or before the games started, and then a second sub-ecosystem of ads embedded in the games themselves by the game developers.

Instead of feeling like their games were "pirated" when somebody copied the game's .swf file, developers had this (viral) mechanism which made those games lucrative wherever they'd appear on the web!

Source: know someone who ran one of those "portal" sites and made an absolute killing.
