Sure, I agree it was stupid and don't mean to reject responsibility for my actions, but I do think this sort of behavior could be encouraged by the OP's advice. For one, it's quite hard for someone who is not doing sports, to judge what kind of pain you should push through and what kind of pain you shouldn't. If you don't do proper research it's easy to get reached first by memes like "no pain, no gain" etc.

And your refinement of the advice only coincidentally happens to work because my injury was non-acute. There's plenty of sports where you can seriously hurt yourself if you don't know what you're doing, without any prior warning.

And the advice also only works under the assumption that you get multiple chances, that you will not catastrophically fail on your first go. All of the following sound absurd:
- if you want to fly an airplane, just fly an airplane
- if you want to build bridges, just build a bridge (not a toy one, that's not "the real thing", one that people will actually use)
- if you want to skydive, just knit a parachute and jump out of a plane

Of course, you'll say that that's not what you or the OP mean with "doing the real thing" and they're obviously insane. But they're just edge cases to prove a point, you don't need to fail this catastrophically to cause serious harm. OP writes about someone rejecting a job that requires fluency in French, without posting any details about that job, then judges the person for rejecting that job out of hand. That is just crazily irresponsible, it may very well have been a job where she has to communicate in French with French-speaking clients, and where a miscommunication might cost her company a large contract, cost her or her colleagues their jobs, or just sink the company altogether.

I think if your advice has this many edge cases where it is harmful, you should think carefully about who you are delivering it to. I'm not saying it is bad advice in all circumstances, it might be exactly what some people need to hear. But it is bad advice to broadcast unqualified.
Absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence dude, this is obvious. But fact of the matter is you made an allegation that is not supported by evidence.

If we are talking about what constitutes proof, I can tell what isn't proof ... proof isn't a link from a journal guilty of yellow journalism and of spreading false news, that doesn't cite any credible source, an article written just before the presidential elections from 2014, an obvious hit piece.

Don't link to such junk and I won't pick on you for doing so.

"The initial JavaScript download is heavy"

Is 64 kb heavy?

There is a graphic libary, that (partly) tries to accomplish this. (but did not really take off)

lib.ivank.net/

Basically the idea was to replace the DOM with a canvas and then create elements in it, like you did in flash.

If it would have matured, you probably could have then used Flex, which is a flash libary, similar to the DOM, but much cleaner. (but flex is heavy, though)

But apparently, no one thought it is worth it. Because, it would mean quite some work, to reimplement the DOM in a faster way ...

The difficulty of the article and of your example is active vs passive learning - watching and reading people with more experience is important, and I guess the spirit of the article is to do that actively without procrastinating - real learning - watch and make notes rather than just relax and passively watch/read.

However, the part not touched on is that things you do passively do build up knowledge too - and it's not an exertion like active learning is. Absentmindedly watching Chess streams when relaxing is good to call out as not an intentional active learning experience, but as long as you're treating it as relaxing it's the kind of thing that is fuel for shower thoughts and can refuel capacity for active learning. As the article says, the "real thing" is hard and tiring, and doing "fake things" can add depth to understanding as well as recuperate for the next struggle. Being mindful and aware of what you're doing and pushing yourself to be doing the real thing when possible is my takeaway from the article.
I am in the UK, and I've only found startups willing to spend money on developer hardware. The larger companies seem to pick up low-end Lenovos for developers, and better i7 Lenovos for those managers who would never use them.

Though I would gladly dump the MacBook Pro 16" I currently have to use for work in an instant for a high-end Lenovo/Dell. Apart from MacOS being extremely flakey these days (why does Spotlight only seem to pop up 50% of the time), I don't understand why they don't provide proper ISO and instead give us some form of ANSI that has the dancing alien (§) dedicated key, and why they hide the # which as a Pro developer I use all the time.

That it also spends its entire time overheating so it burns my lap is just the icing on the cake.
Just use woocommerce. As long as you keep the number of installed WordPress plugins minimal and keep them up to date every couple weeks, you're golden. The biggest issue with WordPress ecosystem is the varying qualities of 3rd party plugins which give it endless security issue, but as long as you keep those minimal, a woocommerce store is very solid choice as woocommerce is a first part plugin with solid attention from automattic.
It is a sparse file: copying it is very fast when it's empty. I don't know if the OS recognizes the space claims, but it would be logical if it did so.
My core criticism is that the notion of "doing the real thing" is very poorly defined and can be easily misinterpreted. That makes this article potentially harmful advice to broadcast. Mind you, it might be good advice for specific people, where you know their circumstances very well and can clarify all the undefinedness, but it is too poorly defined to just send to unknown recipients who mentally fill in the blanks of the article in many, unknown ways.
> European cities tend to abhor sprawl as well. In some sense, it unique to the US and countries that culturally draw from the same ford-American dream.

That's absolutely not my experience in Germany. If they can afford it, plenty of people move to the edge of the city or a bit outside it. They want access to the city, but they also want a spacious garden and quiet neighbors and don't need to live "in the middle of it" when they have children (or, at least in my peer group, even when they don't have children but are approaching 40).
Is there a better alternative on OS X?
Except that instead of 1, now it has 4 CPUs and a GPGPU as part of it, GHz aren't everything, the problem is that most programs as still written single threaded.
There;s some deep truth here, and I suspect it's about a fundamental difference between "writing a plain vanilla JavaScript application" and "I wanted to use the same HTML to generate both a PDF (with Prince) and to make an interactive version of the questions."

Reimplementing gmail or slack in html/css/vanilla-javascript, without an "application frameowrk is no doubt an exercise in futility.

At the same time, reaching for React/Fluttr/Angular/frontend-framework-de-jour when all you need is to show and hide divs and maybe do css or scroll animations between them is, in my mind, an equally bad decision.

(I can totally see why the framework-de-jour option gets chosen so often though - because no matter how written-in-stone the original specs saying "There wil be no functinality required beyond showing/hiding divs and css animations between them" are, we've all seen projects where a last minute critical/showstopper requirement for the web page to include something insane like a fully functional email client gets dropped in the FE dev's lap the Friday afternoon before launch Monday. Sure, the FE dev made the choice to use React, and while some (perhaps a lot?) of that is "resume driven development", at least some of the blame is on bad sales people and project managers as well...)

I actually quite enjoy having a wireless mouse even though I don't game (nothing more than OpenTTD or Heroes of Might and Magic).

Like you, I have a "gaming" mouse (G700s), in my case I bought it for the high resolution. I used to have g9x, but it developed an unbearable whine. Battery life is downright atrocious, I basically have to recharge it everyday. It's also comically heavy.

I often have to move things around my desk, and having papers getting caught up in the wires is aggravating. Also, apart from gaming mice with very supple cables, I always found wired mice to be a pain because of the wire that's never quite in the right position and pulling and / or getting caught on things.

The same happens with keyboards, but to a lesser degree. I often use a trackball, which is like a keyboard in that it doesn't move around and I still prefer having those wireless.

Client/server model is one of the leakiest things of Docker. Try mounting a relative path, or run docker inside docker, or try to inherit the current user’s security privileges.

> Or the way we measure time. How come there aren't 10/100th units of a minute/hour commonly used around the world?

Because metric time failed to catch on. The French Republic used metric time for several years, but Napoleon went back to customary time.

In metric time, there are 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, and 100 seconds per minute. That means that one metric second is 0.864 seconds.

The calendar still has 12 months, but each month is exactly 30 days, with three 10-day weeks. There are five or six holidays at the end of the year, depending on whether it's a leap year.

The months have names based on the seasons. That's why events in French revolutionary history referred to by dates such as "the 18th of Brumaire" and "the 9th of Thermidor."

There are certain realities that limit where life can be established and flourish, and while different kinds of life might be possible, they're extremely unlikely due to basic physical/chemical constraints, amount of other elements in the universe compared to hydrogen and carbon and oxygen, etc. And even the most inhospitable place on Earth is pretty okay by galactic standards - Earth's magnetic field, characteristics of our star and our planetary configuration being the main reasons.

Yeah, the one complaint with frameworks is they never do exactly what you want, instead forcing you to do what generally works for everyone, which is usually good enough. But also can be frustrating. Which is probably why there are many frameworks.
I don’t think there is any such age, these are something we all fundamentally need to thrive.
It varies by country, for instance Spain seems more comfortable with density than say England.

But leaving personal preferences and anecdotes aside, if we look at the data, Europe definitely prefers density compared to the US:

CNIT 127: Exploit Development
> Aside from the mmap() call, you can do all this without even allocating any memory at all.

I think this is the important point when it comes to discussing zero-copy. I've written a custom protobuf implementation for java which can do exactly that.

It's a bit tricky since protobuf supports recursive messages and java's Unsafe is not as powerful as what you can have in C++. My trade-off was to require the caller to pre-allocate messages needed before parsing the data. This works great when working with multi-gigabyte files where you want to process a large number of (possibly nested) messages, but is not as ergonomic as normal protobuf code.

It obviously doesn't come for free, as you need to do a linear scan to find those tag-values, but there are ways to speed that up too, so it becomes very fast in practice.

I'm sure Cap'n Proto and FlatBuffers are faster for some use-cases (I haven't tested), but a very important point for me is to be wire-compatible with protobuf3 and its ecosystem... and still be zero-copy/zero-alloc.
Nothing wrong with tribalism as long as we're all seeking to understand people from other tribes instead of imposing our own tribe's[1] ways upon them[2]. A little less "melting pot" and a little more "salad"[3] might go a long way towards whirled peas.

[1] and even that "own tribe" has a fractal nature. Scratch a dialect and one finds a collection of idiolects.

[2] my understanding of swiss german dialect history is that there used to be pressure to educate the lower and middle classes to speak "standard" german, as the upper classes did. Developments in the 1930s put an end to that, so now not only do we encourage Romansh https://rm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pagina_principala (Mussolini had claimed they were just peasants who couldn't speak italian correctly) but one can tell where politicians and captains of industry grew up by how they speak. Differences are celebrated, not merely tolerated, or worse, steamrollered away. https://als.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Houptsyte gives the flavour of the dialects, but a more academic reference is required for all the isoglosses. (the variety of isoglosses also means that for informal use, SMS, internet, etc. orthography is a matter of regional taste)

[3] in which the constituents retain their identity but taste much better because they're all mixed together.

Some of the things on Nextdoor remind me of "Snow Crash" sometimes.

"Fairlanes, Inc. is laying new ones all the time. Have to bulldoze lots of neighborhoods to do it, but those seventies and eighties developments exist to be bulldozed, right? No sidewalks, no schools, no nothing. Don’t have their own police force — no immigration control — undesirables can walk right in without being frisked or even harassed. Now a Burbclave, that’s the place to live. A city-state with its own constitution, a border, laws, cops, everything."

"MetaCops Unlimited is the official peacekeeping force of White Columns, and also of The Mews at Windsor Heights, The Heights at Bear Run, Cinnamon Grove, and The Farms of Cloverdelle. They also enforce traffic regulations on all highways and byways operated by Fairlanes, Inc. ... MetaCops’ main competitor, WorldBeat Security, handles all roads belonging to Cruiseways, plus has worldwide contracts with Dixie Traditionals, Pickett’s Plantation, Rainbow Heights (check it out — two apartheid Burbclaves and one for black suits), Meadowvale on the [insert name of river] and Brickyard Station. WorldBeat is smaller than MetaCops, handles more upscale contracts, supposedly has a bigger espionage arm — though if that’s what people want, they just talk to an account rep at the Central Intelligence Corporation. And then there’s The Enforcers — but they cost a lot and don’t take well to supervision. It is rumored that, under their uniforms, they wear T-shirts bearing the unofficial Enforcer coat of arms: a fist holding a nightstick, emblazoned with the words SUE ME. ... These Burbclaves! These city-states! So small, so insecure, that just about everything, like not mowing your lawn, or playing your stereo too loud, becomes a national security issue."

Adobe were caught napping a little. Sketch built a big community of users with a focus on UI design. Neither Photoshop or Illustrator are optimised for these tasks.

Sketch felt nimble and lightweight compared to Adobe's apps to a lot of designers. And it reflected modern designer workflows. The chance to break out of Adobe's embrace probably appealed to many designers too. Adobe realised they had no app to address the 'experience design' process. The result was a new app: Adobe XD.

But XD came late to the game while Sketch's popularity and influence grew. The XD UI has clearly been influenced by Sketch.

The sheer size of Adobe means that XD is being used (it comes as part of Creative Cloud, but it's also free for anyone to use to encourage takeup). But XD doesn't have 'mindshare' among many designers compared to Sketch or Figma.

There is something similar playing out on the iPad. You would think that Adobe would own the digital painting space here. But they don't (at least, not yet) - it's Procreate that illustrators are flocking to use, not Adobe's Fresco which is playing catch-up.
What the author means: if you ever worked with actual Bluetooth you'll see that it's full of insane quirks and vendor bugs. This opens up the risk that your product will be seen as bad because the user has a crappy BT chipset in their computer. Just see the debate about Bluetooth headphone latency here on HN: even engineers don't realise that experience is very much dependant on what kind of chipset they have on BOTH sides.

This is why manufacturers build their own 2.4GHz proprietary dongles using proprietary protocols - it ensures consistency for the users.

> Which is what you'd expect because the whole point of mandating that form of payments is to take the 30% cut (for digital goods meant to be used primarily on Android devices within apps downloaded from the Android app store).

That may be a very large portion of the point, but it's not the whole point. For example, if you pay for additional functionality in an app using Google Play In-app Billing, then you can unlock that functionality again on any phone as long as you're signed in to the same Android account. If you paid externally, you can't do that.

Note that this directly lowers revenue from the 30% cut of in-app purchases, by removing some people's need to repurchase content they bought in the past but lost access to.

There may actually quite a lot of PII in the HTTP headers: IP address, Accept-Language, and User-Agent being the most obvious (especially mobile browsers often send a ridiculous amount of PII in the User-Agent header).

There's also some very useful information that's hard to get from HTTP headers, screen size being the most obvious one.

I don't think it's fundamentally more privacy-friendly. The real problem with JavaScript trackers from GA and ad networks is that they'll try to profile you with tricks like font metrics, audio API, set cross-domain cookies, and whatnot. But that doesn't apply to either Plausible or GoatCounter (and in the case of GoatCounter, the count.js script is intentionally unminified so it's very easy to see what exactly it does if you care to do so).

GoatCounter runs fine on constrained environments; it has a RES memory size of about 30M, and for the first few months goatcounter.com ran on a $5/month VPS which was mostly just sitting idle.
