Nice! I've found xml transforms is one of the best applications of jq (yes, jq, not xq).

In a future post, I'll cover how to use jq not just for json and xml but any data format.
Yeah, how much of this is just the same problems as the US huge prison population, but applied to children? The "carcerial state".
Wait, this is possible without wiping data/apps? That's insane.
As a backend developer getting his foot into frontend I feel you. Configuring TSLint with Prettier and all the plugins was tiresome only to learn few months later it's getting deprecated and you should move to ESlint. This article helped me bit, it explains "what is what" in modern JS ecosystem https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/modern-javascript-...

I saw a recent study of an Italian town where they exhaustively tested everyone. It was something like 40% got it but had no symptoms.

The main means of transmission appears to be when people are talking, coughing, sneezing. If someone is talking without a mask on, they are spraying droplets everywhere. If they have a mask on, then the risk is much lower. If you have a mask on, too, then it is even lower.

In Singapore, medical personnel had excellent success by wearing surgical masks at all times, and wearing N95 masks only when performing procedures where lots of droplets were expected, such as extubating a patient.
Interesting, I've often seen CVs from people applying from India include their parents' details. I assumed it was something to do with caste but I was still surprised to see it added even when not required.
I do not think there's actually a good way for a developer to avoid Play Services, which in turn leads me to say that you should continue to use it or whatever else lets you get the most functionality out of the Android for the least amount of pain. Objectively, an Android user is not going to disable the Play Services as Google's apps will continue to rely on it so non-Google developers should use it as well.
> I think one issue here is that Twitter makes it hard to have good conversations because it motivates people to optimize for pithiness and likeability/retweetability over substance.

Which is why it's probably a good thing on balance that Yann LeCun left Twitter. Blog posts and comments are the bare minimum for an adequate forum for discussions like this, since the reader is at least encouraged to read and understand an accurate and complete summary of the author's points before making a pithy reply[1].

Is there anything in my tutorial that I can help clarify for you?
I would be one of your 10%. I have been using Lisp languages since the late 1970s and Common Lisp since about 1982 so I think it is just familiarity.

Another reason could be developers who like to compose programs from the bottom up would naturally like repl based development, but there are many languages with great repl experiences.
Do you have a good link that explains how to do this? I am very much interested in implementing that
I'd recommend doing an online course where you learn something useful like React and the ES6 syntax will come for free as you go along. I found Udemy to be quite useful.

Otherwise, from a programmer's perspective, JS is like nothing else I've seen and it's not something you want to be using without an abstraction over it, i.e. some framework that makes life less miserable when building something more complex than a form.

I feel like being a 'JS professional', unlike other languages, mostly involves in-depth knowledge of the right tools and not the language itself. Unless, you are interested in building frameworks yourself, which I personally find no need to ever do given the available options.
U2F was made for a different purpose too.

I don't see what's so extra hoop-y about telling SSH "use key from industry standard PKCS#11". That's literally what it's there for, and when Yubico added PIV support that instantly added support to multiple operating systems (incl Linux & Windows) where SSH keys "just work".

I can take a yubikey today from my Linux system, plug it into a Windows machine, and Putty with wincrypt support "just works". Because that's how it was designed.
I took the "free software" to mean free as in freedom and not free as in beer. I think this is what the parent meant by mentioning various FOSS projects.
Maybe stupid question - what would happen to the star, if it actually 'collided' with black hole - ie black hole flew right through its core, not just casually going nearby, trapping each other and black hole slowly sucking it dry?

I would expect the thing to be over rather swiftly, albeit probably with some accretion disc still generating some radiation.
Lets put it this way , you guys had the privilege. AFAIK atleast 2 generations ahead with the reading and writing compared to other communites. Please dnt pick exceptions here. The community had a headstart privilege access to reading and writing. If you look at the data of professors here in US and the first generation of guys in US doing higher studies you know. So you have a community base here . Its the same with IITs and reputed educations institutions .

Adding PCIe to Your Raspberry Pi 4, the Easier Way
I guess I, and maybe other non-vim users, just don't see much use in the composability. From many examples I've seen in this thread, the only one I found truly interesting was the branching undo feature.

For most features, the advantage seems very small, as the use-case is so rare, or it's not the limiting factor anyways.

But this is very limited to my experience. I am pretty sure, if I already knew those things, I would value that investment the same way the vim users do in the vim threads. But for now, it seems to me, that the investment is not worth the payoff and I am better off learning something else.
What about abandoning religion altogether as an agnostic or atheist? Does that not count?
Can you point out exactly where the contradiction is?

> What does "deep into life process" even mean?

The problem here is modern science only looks at what can be measured. Life has parts which can not be measured and thus are missed by science. This is the same when you ask to define something - what if there is something which is not possible to define in words but at the same time one can experience it? It is still science but not modern, physical, measurable science.
How much or how little does "your average JS developer" exactly know according to your opinion?
Upward mobility is not a British trait. “Upper class” is Britain is something you have to be born into, not something you achieve through making money or education. At least not in this century.

Now America in the other hand, we hold greater respect for self-made immigrant success stories than a privileged rich kid spending daddy’s money.

This misunderstands the market. I would pay for the History Channel but I wouldn't pay for ESPN. And I won't pay for a bundle because then 'analysts' will think I'm getting it for ESPN.

History Channel is cheap to make compared to sports, would definitely be able to pay for itself with cheap subscriptions.

Cable TV with bundling is just a local maxima established decades ago. The long tail of interest that drives regular youtube is the proof.
Me too. I talk to ppl and they're kinda waiting everything to go back to normal because <totally-crazy-conspiracy-theory> or the vaccine, but I believe that the effects of this crisis will be long standing and many things will ultimately change for ever.
I'd say this is the biggest issue. I own both a rooted, unlocked Android phone and a locked Samsung tablet. I have no way to know how safe any particular custom ROM is, so there's no way I'm willingly going to use any of the banking-/payment-related apps on my phone. I find it baffling that people put their trust in people who are largely anonymous and have no accountability.
My point is the bank could easily pass the cost onto the customer.

There are multiple things to unpack here. First, human lives in the hands of machines or even just software is completely normal, like directly like handing it over to autopilot for example. I don't think there is an ethical angle here, though I can understand if there is a personal preference for human anesthesiologists for some.

Second, I understand there are very fine details at play. However I disagree with the point that complex assessment is out of a computer's reach, on the contrary, they are especially good at it. I would trust a machine to consider a patients full medical history in accordance with their momentary markers more thoroughly and faster than a human ever could. Not to mention the human factor of being less educated, tired, in a bad mood or simply not available.

Admittedly I know nothing about the protocols in anesthetics, and indeed, it is my preconception there is little more to it than a tight control loop with not much room for wiggle. What do anesthesiologist base their decisions if not data? Perhaps some of the data is not obvious to a machine and we need humans sensors for input, but the thought of people playing god with ad hoc ideas makes me more uneasy than a computer involved. Granted I live in a second world country and capable doctors are few and far between and it must count for some of my bias.
Brits also developed the concept 'Martial race' in India, which meant that certain castes are capable of fighting and others are not.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_race

Today it's widely understood that this was done to reward those who supported the British during the 1857 rebellion and to utilise caste-based segregation in British Indian army against any future rebellion.
I've had it for at least a year and it blows away the competition in most respects. This is a fair price.
Oh yeah, don't even get me started on the buzzwords. I think I need to move into management so I can just be a 'yes' man and blow smoke mixed with buzzwords.
Right, but my point was that both Snap and Dropbox would’ve been better off being bought out, imo.

Netflix and Facebook, sure, but you didn’t quite use a convincing example to support the argument.

Not that I disagree with the spirit of what was said...
That shouldn't be odd. All it would take is a tiny little bit of ethics in their heads.
Indeed, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui were well fed. I remember a archaeology paper that compared their nutrition with other pacific islands. The people of Easter Island were among the best fed peoples. IIRC, the women of Rapa Nui were only at the average level, but this was a social problem. The lack of trees did not impede the food availability.

Here is the conclusion of a recent (2017) study of their diet:
"Our results point to concerted efforts to manipulate agricultural soils, and suggest the prehistoric Rapa Nui population had extensive knowledge of how to overcome poor soil fertility, improve environmental conditions, and create a sustainable food supply. These activities demonstrate considerable adaptation and resilience to environmental challenges ‐ a finding that is inconsistent with an “ecocide” narrative."

I do track visits to my blog and I keep half an eye on Google Search console to see the performance in the Google index.

Since I use WordPress, I have Jetpack which comes with rudimentary statistics. I've set up Matomo recently as a experiment. I'm still evaluating if it's worth my while.

A more fundamental question is this: To what end are you writing? Are you writing to gain a better perspective yourself? Do you want to inform, show, teach, entertain a larger audience? Do you balance towards one or the other? Or is it a bit of both? Those questions are important as they inform your writing style, topics and what you want to get out publicly writing in the first place.

Ever since the classic "visitor counter" on a website, visitor tracking has it's benefits and pitfalls. Like unwittingly narrowing your focus to simply chasing an ever higher number of visitors, rather then just getting the satisfaction of having written a piece and learning something while you did it.

A far better indicator would be people reaching out to you about your work and what you've written. I think that says far more then just a statistic.
I’ve had it since day one (actually since dogfood) but this is it, I just cancelled.

It’s a shame because it really is a great service. The infinite DVR basically lets you build up your own on demand library of any show.

Same, tbh i can't really. Usually maths end up on a whiteboard or paper.
That disables it. It doesn't remove it.
To be fair, Numbers/Pages/Keynote, as well as Garageband and iMovie are not a part of macOS. Yes, they come preinstalled with a new Mac, but if you do a clean installaction, they will be missing. You will have to reinstall them from App Store.
Nice read! A few more:

- poor setup/strategy for database migrations

- inability to rollback deployments

- insufficient metrics to know whether deploys are bad

In general I feel like a lot of small companies over complicate this stuff early on. Not everyone has an army of people to maintain internal tooling for all this stuff. Keep it simple.
That’s good to hear. Everyone’s pretending like any criticism of vim is obviously coming from incompetence.
These ARM Macs will also run iOS apps too.
What kind of solution should apple have made then, that would protect user privacy to the same degree?
You're looking at the inverse logic rather than the right one. A => B, does not imply (not A) => (not B).

Building platforms is a strong argument there's some organized society (since any such action would require coordination), but the opposite does not have to apply (not having platforms does not mean there isn't a society).
It's quite simple actually. With native modules support you don't really need any of these helpers.

However, if you're concerned about users on older browsers, you can use Babel to "transpile" your code to equivalent code that older browsers can understand, often at the expense of size.

npm and yarn are simply 2 competing implementation for package management. Start with npm and you'll know it when you want yarn.

Webpack and other module bundlers are just tools to automate things like transpiling, code-transformation, bundle-splitting, minification which are not all that essential actually.

The point is all of these are extras. Think of them as enhancements/optimizations. If you have a solid understanding of JS you can write JS in a way that doesn't require any of this. I blame the tutorials out there that say you need this and that without many justifications that make it seem more complicated than it is.

> A device can be unlocked by anybody with physical access and the passcode. For example a malicious party could install a malicious version of Android on your device if they have unattended access to your phone for a while.

This wipes all existing data and notifies the user that the device is not secure whenever it's booted. There's no way that a user would fail to realize this. I agree that it's unrealistic to expect apps that directly deal with money/finance/etc. to be supported on unlocked devices, but aside from that it should be fair game.
>For "proper" companies that have established customer bases and a legit revenue model, they have an incentive to not screw everyone over and lose their trust.

It also depends on what company means by "not screw everyone over" Right now many companies consider practices as 'OK' while I am coming from the times when most of those modern activities considered to be virus or malware. So for me it doesn't really matter whether you have malware installed by a virus or it's hidden deeply in EULA which you can't reject partially anyway.
How would one get into abstract algebra having flunked High School math very early on? I've been going through Khan Academy pre-algebra and find it incredibly disheartening how little I know. I did manage to get a CS degree but the math taught there is different.
> const is called immutable which is misleading

Consider that this may simply be a knowledge gap on your end. I think most programmers understand the concept of value vs reference types and would not assume an object to be a value type. Obviously the reference is immutable, as is any other value type you assign to the const.

> nor the implicit return of last block statement are mentioned

Probably not mentioned because it doesn’t exist. There is no implicit return of the last block statement. That statement is misleading in at least two ways: there cannot be multiple top-level block statements as the body of a function, nor does the singular block statement body of an arrow function implicitly return the last expression. It actually requires an explicit return statement. On the other hand, an arrow function with an expression body -does- implicitly return.

Sure, I can count them. I can make them hexagons or pentagons at will when I think about them. It does take some time however to remember what a soccer ball actually looks like but after that I can see every details of it.
I was at a mega corp store yesterday to buy some basic necessities. While paying the bill, I was asked to donate money for Covid-19. They do this nearly all year, asking for donations for something or the other.

Why should I trust this mega corp with just one dollar? How do I even know what they are doing with this money? The mega corps have repeatedly shown they care about nothing but profits. Isn't it hypocritical to ask for money from common man to fix problems that they created in the first place (like pollution)? I'd rather trust Doctors without borders than these people.

But the thing that annoys me the most - if they really cared that much, why can't they donate a dollar (or whatever amount) from their profit every time I shop there? Instead of pestering shoppers many of whom live paycheck to paycheck?

Yes, we need to do much much more. But the leadership for it (both in thought and action) is not these multi billion dollar corporations and their cronies (especially the media). They are largely the reason we are here in the first place - causing pollution, wage stagnation, privacy violation etc
> The only difference is the arrangement.

Agreed, and to me, this makes the point that the syntax (arrangement) is a key component to an unwillingness to learn. However, I don't see how this establishes lisp as having, "very fundamental differences in thinking and conceptualisation that are difficult or impossible to 'just' teach over". With left-handed scissors, you have the same concept; you just need to train your left hand to use them. Likewise with syntax. Describing that as being a very fundamental difference that is difficult or impossible to teach over seems odd to me.
So, what they are saying is that if you climb a helix of a DNA molecule, you are always turning left?

How weird to call that "right-handedness"!

Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling
What has always kept me from learning Vim is my non-English keyboard layout. Many of the default key combinations are impossible or require some serious finger acrobatics.

Sure, I could try figuring out a new set of easily reachable and non-conflicting keybindings for my own machines, but much of my motivation for learning it in the first place was being able to work on remote machines more comfortably.
Comcast's newer IPTV/X1 boxes are somehow worse, as they have 100x the processing capacity of the old Motorola/Cisco boxes, but use it to run a slow as molasses JS SPA. The Netflix app runs at probably half the speed of the Apple TV (or the Fire TV Stick) and even Comcast's UI can sometimes take upwards of 1-2 seconds to respond to a button press.
This advice is so strange. Do you imply, that learning pure JS is not useful?
I dread this attitude. Also, you cannot have "in depth" knowledge of any higher end abstraction whithout knowing the language. By definition it will always be just a superficial knowledge.
