They don’t. They use search engines to do searches and count hits. See https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-defi...

Their method means that, in general, their numbers will trail changes in programming language popularity. For example, if everybody stopped using JavaScript tomorrow, there still would be millions of hits on +”JavaScript programming” for years to come.

Also, their methodology overrates languages many people wrote about or those that trigger more questions online. I would guess it underrates COBOL, for example.
> And it's happening: people are fleeing the state.

Poor people are leaving to other parts of the USA slower than rich people are moving in from other parts of the world; California has net in-migration despite net domestic out-migration. This is bad in terms of domestic political power, of course, but it's directly a consequence of economic success.

It has lower net growth than many other parts of the country, but that is not just a matter of migration but also the lower natural growth rate that usually accompanies greater wealth. And it's not one of the places actually shrinking because people are actually fleeing, not being displaced by richer people—there are a number of states where that is true, but CA isn't one of them.
The need for diversity is not a means to succeed and grow, it's a directive for redistributing wealth and power from those populations who already have it to those who do not.

Diversity as being good for capitalism is red herring.

Depends on the specialty, I would think. Pediatricians, general practice, etc. can probably have lower standards than other specialties since they are where people typically enter the medical system for treatment. If they haven't seen a malady before, they refer the patient.

However, for cardiologists, anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, etc. you probably want a higher education standard.
Actually - what you have done is recreated the pockets on the LuLuLemon workout gear for ladies.

If you have not seen them - women love them. And the pocket is slightly higher than yours.

(I love your design, FYI)

But go look at high-end womens workout clothes for pocket ideas too.

Also, while youre at it, the How I built this podcast with the founder of LuLuLemon is a really fascinating listen.

Personally - I am starting down the road to re-invent the backpack - and the umbrella...
Kuhl pants are some of my favorite pants I own, second only to my Prana pants which also have similar pockets.

I recently discovered that "hiking pants" are superior in almost every way to normal pants. They're usually more comfortable, deal with both high and low temperatures well, and nowadays have aesthetic styles that you can even wear in semi-formal work situations or to a nice dinner.
> My city in Texas is averaging a growth rate of about 22% decade over decade

Not to detract from your overall comment, but that's only just under 2% year on year growth - that's pretty low for a city? (Not trying to imply that faster growth is good, just that you've framed it as rapid growth - a big exodus - and it's.. Not ?)
There is an almost all-Smalltalk bare metal system for X86, CogNOS. It runs on top of NopSys, about 3500 lines of C and 600 lines of assembler for booting, accessing device registers, and responding to interrupts. But the file system etc. are in Smalltalk.

The process of arrest and bringing them to court is literally the process by which the gov't shows the court the evidence against them.

I had a bone marrow transplant in 1989. 1 year mortality was 95%.

It's a fucking terrible way to die. FWIW, the AIDS patients down the hall had it as bad or worse.

We have seen federal agents acting as police and detaining and arresting individuals on the streets over objections from the Governor and Mayor.

If you are going to support these acts:

1. Cite any legal precedent where Federal government has policed and made arrests over state/local government objections?

2. Identify the Federal Criminal Statute any of the suspects violated authorizing these "arrests"? (presumably even if you believe the Federal government has the power to police over State/local objections, you hopefully agree they don't have the power to make arrests without probably cause a crime was committed, so what is are the federal criminal statutes?)

3. Now even supposing the Court did side with the Federal Government, finding that they have police powers they may unilaterally deploy over objections from local governments and that the arrests here were lawful, you would still tons of other Constitutional issues. For example: in all the arrests I have seen, I have not seen any miranda warnings, post arrest I have yet to find any confirmation the arrestees were afforded their constitutional rights to an attorney...seeing as the Federal agents to date have not had these traditional police powers I think it is fair to assume they haven't received this basic training, and for that reason alone even if the Fed had these powers they are still likely violating numerous constitutional rights in each arrest.

Ring 0 is genuinely fun. Cooperative multitasking is super easy to write for and reason about. Having a known fixed screen resolution makes designing UIs much easier.

Sure it all sucks for the users, but if you are a programmer I encourage you to once in your life deep dive into old school coding on a machine that you control completely. You can pump out powerful code so much faster! It is a serious 2x-3x speedup.

Until another process trashes your memory because flat memory layouts don't offer any protection. That sucks. But up until then, lots of fun!
Fair enough. I was not able to read the original comment.
Been using it myself for a few years now. Mostly at work for code snippits, scripts, or commands as it has decent syntax highlighting. Synced to dropbox. Love its minimalist UI and feature set.
I live about 20 miles north of SLC. The home prices are still great up here (from about Centerville, up to South Ogden) There's also some room for growth. Although I am concerned about cities like Syracuse that have built awfully close to the Great Salt Lake.

Embedded Windows has been a thing for a long time and has steadily become less and less relevant over the past decade or so, with many users slowly migrating away. It is more expensive and basically unsupported by Microsoft and hardware makers, while adding very little unique features. I've basically only encountered it in "We stop support for Windows" announcements, "Here's how to make migrating away from it a bit easier for your devs used to it" and "We need to migrate away from Windows, can you help?"

You occasionally see Windows on stuff that runs full-size PCs "embedded" into a device, but then typically just normal Windows nowadays.

They have tons of space. Just change regulations to allow more housing supply, like most other countries do.

It's amazing how many cities in the US have a conversation that's roughly like:

Help, housing prices are too high! Demand is outstripping our supply!

Have you considered changing your local rules to allow for more supply?

I'm sure that a lot of other people have great experiences with other database interfaces such as C#'s Linq or Ruby's ActiveRecord, but that really isn't the point of my comment. The PHP snippet in the article is pretty much the bare minimum for SQL integration in other languages. As another reply to my comment points out, the PHP snippet posted is nearly identical to Perl's DBI (which I believe PDO is based on), which came out 1995!

For an article that purports "PHP is good now", I wouldn't expect one of the selling points to be something that could be done in (and is routinely done), in Python/Perl/Ruby for over 25 years now.
Anyone can sell the crap out of anything not just mormons. This is just one big brag piece.
The uniforms in the videos clearly say "POLICE" on them. According to the people released, they were read their Miranda rights - and who cares that they are dressed in camo and using unmarked cars?

As long as the suspect is put before a judge, I don't see the issue.
> The cure for cancer? A lifetime of eating a nutritious diet, don't eat lots of carbs, eat absolutely no refined carbs, eat enough meat, avoid almost anything that's pre-made or shelf stable, don't smoke, don't drink.

This is nonsense, and part of the alt-med/woo that caught the guy in the article.

You're not being downvoted for telling "the truth" because it's not the truth. Yes, there are a variety of lifestyle cancers, some of which can be prevented that way, but that's far from all cancers and it's exactly the sort of crap that gets peddled at people who have cancer.
I suggest, as I stated in my other post, looking at the LuLuLemon pockets - specifically, having the pocket be a webbing/spandex material which cinches the contents of the pocket to the body such that it doesnt flop about and also secures the contents into the pocket.

I like the horizontal, but maybe a 15 degree angle would be best, however, do the horiz pockets get in the way when you sit?

In this case it wasn't even a firmware update that bricked the device. Just some meta data that told the device how to behave. So a factory reset should still have deleted that stupid XML file from the flash storage, which would totally have fixed the issue. Even with all the paranoia they could have had about reverting to an old firmware version and breaking copy protection through exploits. Just wipe the freaking flash storage and keep the current firmware.

Probably. Connivingly they waited for 9 months after I bought the TV before releasing the firmware update.

There are too many Linux distributions and too many desktop environments. There is no coherent message as to what software to use. It is difficult to develop a critical mass of users that uses the Linux desktop.

Lenovo announced recently that they will support Ubuntu in their range of P-series laptops because they are interested in the near 3% total Linux global desktop users.
This video is faked. Or rather it is showing an app which pretends to be Task Manager. Further done in the comments of the tweet it is demonstrated that this is fake.

IMO we simply don't understand diet enough to prove what you should do. Instead, the best we can do is identify the people with the best outcomes, and try to emulate their lifestyle & diets. Essentially what Blue Zones did. You risk cargo-culting, but it's the best we can do.

Yeah, it's not really worth it.

Your home directory should be indexed anyway (along with other interesting directories), so you should be able to simply quickly switch to any file in the index, regardless if it's open or not, using your favorite solution for this (Helm, etc.)

This makes bookmarking files pretty pointless, since all your interesting files are instantly available anytime with completion regardless of the current directory.
Yes the app itself is closed sourced, but FWIW their MicroG fork is not: https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedMicroG

Their stance on why they can't open source it sounds reasonable: https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedWebsite/issues/10

But I agree that if you have sensitive data on your google account you should make a value judgement yourself on if the extra convenience/features on Vanced is worth the risk over NewPipe.

I personally use a different mail provider so I don't have much sensitive information on my Google account, basically just using it for YouTube and Play Store.

If you look at the inverter/module price trends[1], you'll see we've pretty much reached the bottom of the cost curve. Continued price reduction is coming from balance-of-system and soft costs (e.g. planning). So SA is probably in a good position now to buy modules and inverters, focus on innovation in the non-module pieces and policies to reduce soft costs.

How to Gradually Exit Twitter
It’s a risk mitigation measure being applied to what’s clearly a very risky business currently.

The sword cuts hard but this exactly what it’s for. The underlying businesses are in trouble and payment processors don’t want to hold the bag while the business run away with premature profits. If the business cannot survive with these provisions in place it’s because they have not accurately priced in the risks and are now upset that their vendors are not interested in acts of capitalist charity.
Or exvegan.
It seems that the business in question is in the travel industry, specifically helping people find airport parking deals. Due to the Covid-19 situation I'm sure they got hit very hard and a lot of chargebacks or refunds happened as flights got cancelled.

Stripe has to make sure that there are enough funds in the account to cover these transaction reversals. So I can understand where they are coming from. Trying to prove that you have enough cash in your bank account is obviously not going to work because that cash could be gone at any time or otherwise already claimed. If you got the cash then what difference does it make to you if it's in your bank or in Stripe for a month? I think this point goes against the business. One would hope that as air travel goes back to normal, the rolling reserve gets smaller. A 28 days rolling reserve should not be the end of the world.

That being said I think this could have been handled much better by Stripe. This robotic "we care so much about you which is why we are doing $tough_thing to you" that is all too common nowerdays has to stop. It's a lie. It does not help the business in any way, it is just there to prevent losses for Stripe. Please drop that BS corp speak. Give the guys a call and explain the situation. Give the guys a heads-up and some time to adjust. Don't just drop the hammer like that. Engage in a discussion, try to see what can be done together. At least try it in a human way.

I find the use of "extremely" to be extreme here or too forgiving of problems that arise while using other APIs. There are all kinds of state of the art algorithms implemented on top of Metal. But anything improper can easily switch off GPUs, you can even do that with CUDA.
It's the classic question of "Reform or Revolution?"

These systems were built as incremental mitigations to old problems. I don't think it'll change until they collapse under their own weight and people switch over to something else completely.
Yeah but you don't know if the posters aren't just trolling, and even if legit gun advocates you can't really expect them to come out and say this is what I always feared and never realized I was just talking shit about what I would do if this happened and surprised to learn I am just a coward that is scared of the government.

I'm envisioning the chlorine being released over remote ocean areas, so the acid rain would fall mainly at sea. The net acidification of the ocean would be zero, since making the chlorine also creates sodium hydroxide.

> That's not an impossible obstacle, of course, but it would take rezoning. I don't know how easy that is to do here.

Depends on what dimension you're measuring. Technically? Easy, at one point most of the US didn't have strict zoning, and most peer nations have nothing like this, it's hardly necessary. And usually these cities allow for apartments somewhere in the city, even if it's a small strip of land, it's not some unknown concept.

Politically? Hoo boy, that's a hard one. Because most Americans who live in these areas hate anything other than super low housing density.

Propper's STL pant series take a similar tact for their cargo pockets. It's definitely a massive improvement in terms of business-casual looking workwear that doesn't sacrifice utility.

I hope pockets like these do take off. I know too many women who've lamented the fact that they have few options for practical pants that don't also trade out the style of tighter-fitting women's wear.
I agree with the baseline principles, but these pockets are at the edge of reach, which is far from convenient. I was sure they would end up with a waist level pocket, in a stretchy material, on top of the belt area.
No. These (mostly teenagers) want change that most people don't want. That is why the process doesn't work for them - because they are the minority opinion. So that's why they resort to violence.

You offered your proximal living location as a claim to credibility. I offered my own proximity as an equal claim to credibility. And I did stay on target, let me re-quote myself:

> And what I said is that there is violence going on and PPD has been trying to walk the line of declaring unlawful gatherings while respecting freedom of assembly for the majority who are non-violent.

Since it seems like it wasn't clear let me try to elucidate. There IS violence going on that is not acceptable. But there are ALSO peaceful protests occurring. It is my perspective that the MAJORITY of participants are not violent, but this is not an excuse for the violent behavior of the minority.

It's not accurate to broadly classify all the protests as riots. It's also not accurate to call all protest participants rioters. Doing so is a gross simplification; as gross a simplification as those trying to say these are just peaceful protests.

Orthogonal to this unfortunate line the PPD has been forced to walk for an extended time, Federal agents should not be doing anything other than securing Federal property. To again quote myself:

> I am fine with Federal agents defending Federal property; I am not ok with Federal agents using unmarked vans to leave Federal property and snatch suspects.

So rather than resort to a false adhominem (claim that I didn't stay on target), perhaps you could instead forward the conversation.

Although, perhaps it is best we politely leave things as they are since I think enough has been said. But if you think there are things I should be made aware of or still have something to add, I welcome further civil discourse.
Programming errors happen, but thats why I don't get, that companies still use programming languages, where such errors result in a crash vs. an error which can be handled and recovered from. A faulty XML file shouldn't render the whole machine unusable.
