Storing and retrieving map values in Go
Personally I would call code running on the user's device the front end and code running on some server or other remote device the back end. YMMV.

Maybe this explains the difference in our perspectives. To me, other than perhaps the very first data collection where maybe the source is only accessible from the back end, whether things like statistical analysis or rendering of the results happen on the front or the back end is something you will decide on its merits for each project, not something that is necessarily tied to the mechanical programming skills or libraries on one suffer or the other.
I think of UI/UX designer as kind of a distinct role from programming. Sure, if you don't have any designers, then your frontend person is also your designer, so in that case, it makes sense that their job is distinct from backend.

The opinion I've adopted from my designer friends, though, is that once you have a designer in-house and the site's basic design has been established, what is more important is that the developers notice and care about details. That's not something I would consider a frontend vs backend developer trait, just more of a general engineering attitude. Do you notice that the padding here doesn't match up, do you question why this form is laid out differently from all the other ones, how does this flow from page to page work, do you go find a designer and work with them until it's right.

I would posit that the same person who cares that the UI is consistent and makes sense would also be pointing out why is our code formatting all over the place, why we use different libraries in different places to do the same thing, why our patterns and architecture is inconsistent. If you just copy/paste in random UI pieces and call it done, then you're probably also copy/pasting in random stackoverflow snippets on the backend and just recompiling until the tests pass.

Indeed. Needless to say this is my reason for finally getting off their mailing list.
Are you guys paid to do this shit? Russian trolls? GOP propaganda? What is going on here? I already answered https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23948395 and I am completely bewildered by the barrage of trumpist propaganda here.

Because that photo is from July 4 https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-federal-police-are-kidn...

And the unmarked agents doing arrests was on July 15 https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unm... and

> Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off.

There is a video on Twitter, I can look it up if you want, where a woman as she is being kidnapped by these people is screaming "who are you" and she gets no answer.
Well, let me give you my view from the sidelines. It seems there are three main issues that are worthy to discuss.

1. FEDs intervening in Portland - legitimate + legal or not? Honestly, don't know. It seems a bit shady to me with regard to extending actions beyond federal buildings for which there is a mandate but I leave that decision to people who actually know about it.

2. FEDs without identification - necessary precaution or authoritarian overreach? Police accountability is key for peaceful coexistence in a democratic society. There are options between "no identification" and "full transparency". If you want it as a government, you can do it.

3. FEDs approach to the protests - necessary use of force or escalating violence? It seems like an overreach to me. From what I've known to be the standard, there are protocols officers are obliged to follow, established practices on how to deal with protests and most importantly, the deployed forces are trained and equipped properly as well - of course I'm assimng the best of all situations here. It's gross neglient deploying officers that lack experience with these kind of situations and assume everything will be just getting fine. Not excusing anything or anyone but protests are particularly stressful for the police as well and even under the best circumstances the use of force does not always meet the standards.

That said, I agree with you that the NYT video does not cover the whole story if the story is sending federal forces to Portland. If the story is the lack of transparency and the way federal forces deal with the protests then it's fine. Public officials have to be held to a higher standard than violent and/or rioting civilians - in particular, if violent protesters are not the majority of the people participating what seems to be the case here.
I’m interested as well!
It was missing what would quickly be considered a standard feature, and one that was obviously necessary for the use case of a shared printer. That's driver crappiness. The only justification for a shared network printer with no user feedback mechanism is if nothing ever goes wrong with the printer and it always completes your job by the time you can get up and walk down the hall (and stairs, in this case) to pick it up.

This is what I used to think too. Over the years though (decades really) my belief in pure technological solutions has waned significantly. As the world interconnectedness increases, so do the global GHG emissions. As the number of supercomputers in our pockets increase so does the e-waist and micro-plastic pollution. It looks like no matter what we do (EVs, solar, smart-grids, you name it), somehow, almost inexplicably, the GHG emissions just keep rising. Year after year.

Don't get me wrong. I am not anti technology or something. It's just that it's not a bottleneck anymore. There is no lack of technological solutions, there is a lack of moral courage to implement them.
It doesn't feel that weird to me, but there's a reason her blog would resonate with me in particular.

I was homeless myself, briefly, half a lifetime ago. I ended up dedicating my life to coding free and open-source audio DSP software, which I do to this day under the name 'airwindows'.

Part of my motivation for this choice is a determination to give functional tools to a community that may have artistic ability and the ability to learn audio production skills, but can't come up with the money to do this using cutting-edge hardware. CPU cycles are impossibly cheap, ESPECIALLY if you are able to do functional work on 'last year's' computers, which is why I take pains to code stuff that doesn't require current computer systems (particularly significant on Mac OSX, which deprecates stuff like mad to render older systems nonfunctional).

In my opinion, you should be able to not only blog, but do a professional grade mix on a digital audio workstation using only a cast-off semi-working laptop from years ago that somebody no longer needed. Your bottleneck would be monitoring: professional quality speakers and amplification are harder to come by that way, but even then modern advances in class D amplification and a bit of ingenuity go a long way (I run a subwoofer where the speaker part was insanely cheap, because I used cardboard builders tubes for enclosures, capped on both ends by inexpensive woofers, and doubled for more cone area)

With intelligence and effort it is more than possible to break the link between access to capital, and potential performance. You can compete on the grounds of ability and quality and increasingly remove access to capital as a gatekeeping mechanism.

If you don't do that, one might conclude that poor people are lower quality and not capable of worthwhile things.

One resource that my work does NOT address is mental attitude: I can make a person think, 'I now have the tools to pursue audio production' by giving the tools, but I can't make a person think, 'I can step back and think about life and the world I'm in, outside the narrow lens of capitalist status seeking'. It's nice that Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Google employees and trust fund kids can view life outside the immediate struggle to not die: I think that's very civilized and laudable, in a way it's the whole point of being human. This blog about 'FU, Money' is an alternate path to the same goal.
Well, just so that you don't throw the baby with the bathwater...

Pinephone [0] is a platform designed by pine64 together with the community. A community that is very FLOSS-centric.

That phone has a few pieces of proprietary firmware, that's true[1] (mostly for the RF parts). But besides that, you can pretty much do anything you want with it, even write your own bootloader[2].

By default, the bootloader will try to boot from the SD card over the EMMC, so you can just slap an arbitrary system image on an SSD card to distro-hop. That's right, there are multiple distributions available: Ubuntu touch, which is indeed built like you say, but you should also have root access OOTB, and AFAIK can change every piece of the system (OTA source, system image, build your own). But also a few others like Maemo Leste (a meego spiritual successor, I think), SailfishOS, android[3], or even plain Linux distributions: PostmarketOS [4] is an Alpine-based distribution tailored to phones, but you can also run Manjaro, Arch Linux, Fedora, Nix, and port your own.

The Lima open source graphics driver for Mali GPUs works quite well, so that helps a lot compared to other "open" phones.

A similar phone is the Purism Librem 5, that goes further with the de-blobing effort, though the price point is quite different.

I live in Florida and was exposed to some respiratory illness with symptoms consistent with Covid-19. As soon as I had symptoms I immediately did what I could to get tested and specifically went for the fastest PCR test I could find (I'm in between primary care providers, couldn't find a way to even try to get a rapid test in my area). My insurance provider lists the only testing location covered as an undisclosed drive through site located somewhere in a city a good hour and a half drive away from me, with the second closest location being a 2 hour drive. The county had a free testing event scheduled for 2 days later but only had 400 tests, was first come first serve, and explicitly stated that you couldn't line up before they started testing as they literally weren't opening the gate to let traffic off of the street before then. The county also listed a 10 day wait before test results would even be available which is just flat out useless. Luckily the day before the county testing event my wife managed to find free testing offered by Quest in a somewhat nearby city that advertised that results would be available in 3-5 days instead of the 10 that the county claimed. I went there, got the nasal swab done, filled out a bunch of forms with clipboards and pens that were being reused with no sanitization between people, and signed up for Quest's online accounts to get the results.

Today is literally the first day that I'm free from quarantine. Not because I got my test results back, but because the latency in testing has gotten so drawn out that even if that test eventually comes back positive, I already meet the CDC guidelines for ending quarantine. That test was completely useless for me and only serves to add some data to the statistics around the pandemic. Right now, if you want to get tested and you're not a high priority case (i.e. hospitalized), at least in my area, you can't even do that for all practical purposes. It would be arguably better if they just randomly tested only 50% and had a more reasonable backlog than testing 100% with a backlog so long that all but the high priority tests are useless by the time the results are available.

We've had literally months of time to ramp up testing nationwide. This pandemic is far from over and it's already killed 145,000 Americans. This is inexcusable incompetence by the legislative and executive branch.
Did Paul Graham just repackage DnD Alignment?
No, the writer who said "because of" is more correct than "motivated by."

The US FARs are really a sequence of reactions to dead passengers, which is what "written in blood" means.

That's why the NTSB always seems to be one step ahead of the FAA in demanding action - the NTSB investigated an accident with dead people, found a cause, and requested the FAA do something about it.

No one is arguing that once you have your first job, what college you went to matters. If you can get that first job, then only experience matters.

Heck on my very sparse LinkedIn profile, it basically showed me as an enterprise C# CRUD developer and recruiters were reaching out to me from Facebook and Google even though I wouldn’t get through the first fifteen minutes of a technical phone screen for either without at least six months to a year of prep. Recruiters throw out a wide net.

That being said, after the local market tanked post Covid, and my unknown company with less than 50 people all in did an across the board pay cut, I threw a Hail Mary and applied for a remote job as a consultant for AWS. I had the experience and I knew it was going to be a remote interview so I took a chance and got in.

But would they have recruited interns from my no name college - even if I did try to give them some type of signal like side projects and an AWS cert?

This argument applies to all generalizations ever, doesn't it?
I've worked from home and while I do enjoy aspects of it, I feel like a lot of executives only see the money saving aspects of it.

Ideally, we could have an office, but we could also have flexbility, I think this would be the ultimate outcome for both the worker and the employee, it's a shame it seems to be one or the other right now.
You can do quarantine to control the epidemic, like China does.

Absolutely. Having a single binary that runs different services depending on the configuration and is deployed as such creates a distributed system, not a "monolith". I am not clear about the advantages of doing that.
I've spent about 10 minutes kicking the tires so I may have missed things which are actually there. These are my thoughts, excuse the roughness of it all:

* Editing - Keyboard shortcuts for committing a card? Undo system in the editor would be useful. Contextual help for the icons on hover.

* Decks - Perhaps separate tab for this rather than the side panel being the only way to view them

* notifications - Avoid the alert pop up for notifications when the user does an unexpected action. Maybe the area under the CARD CREATOR title might be the place for it.

* navigation - there should be quick navigation to study or desk views always present. Having to click on the side panel, then click is a little inconvenient.

* New Cards - it's possible to get to the Card Creator without any decks created. If I want create a new deck for this card, I'd have stop editing and click the side panel. Surely typing a new deck name in the Deck form on the Card Creator would be less confusing?

You'll get two types of users coming to this app. Those who are familiar with spaced repetition apps and those who aren't. I'd recommend spending time on polishing the onboarding experience for noobie users. For the more experienced user I would expect a few features if this was going to be a more modern anki-lite, like a deck view organisable in a folder format or tags, or an undo system for the editor.

Having an exportable format is extremely important for me personally. Might be different for other people.

Nope.

You have mass protests in Bulgaria and Serbia against the current governments, North Macedonia's had its preterm elections, where the ruling coalition is hanging on only 1 vote, which means that likely there'll be more elections in its future soon.

And then you have the coronavirus situation with cases exploding on the Balkans, with Romania having 1200/day, Bulgaria and Serbia with 350ish and rising.
For things to measure, where a person finally have to sign for an OK, tools allways have to be calibrated and tested (not just in aerospace industrie). Thats also the reason, why there is not just the persons name but also the toolnumber on the test protocol.
I feel like it's hard to teach cybersecurity formally. It deals with hacking and by nature the spirit of hacking is hard to teach. I have learnt cybersecurity as a hobby and have competed with our university team in some online well known attack/defense style competitions (we sucked) and a lot of this stuff is really hard to formalize. I guess you could teach the basics like overflows, aslr, stack canaries, basic assembly, but in the end it's up to the hacker to string everything together to overflow a buffer, control the return pointer, leak the canary, string together a rop chain and pwn the system, and this takes a lot of tinkering and discovery rather than prior knowledge, although experience definitely helps. I guess it's also why some random high school teenager could be going up against the hacking team from Tencent in these competitions. And this is only for binary exploitation mind you. If you look at some of the crazy talks from defcon, the stuff they do draws upon a lot of random knowledge, and it comes down more to the act of piecing everything together than knowing anything before hand, hence the "hacking". And that's also why I love it :)
Isn't ICE, in theory correct? You come to USA to study. If your course is 100% online, why do you need to come? And why would you come...

Very much so. One can master 1-2 things, quality of life nonwithstanding.

But not 5-6 things, as is called for being "full-stack".

It is just not possible. People, can you please quit your delusions?
I can't follow all the maths but the introduction is surely wrong based on simple probability alone.

It's claimed that the URLs which browsers send up (having been diagnosed positive by the test) will ”have a high likelihood of actually being malicious", but that by no means follows from the test's low false positive rate. You need to consider the background rate.

Just like in the classic example of a positive diagnosis from a low false positive test for a rare desease.
By limiting yourself to choices that do not cause loss of choice in the future, are you still free to choose anything? You value this freedom so much that you limit the choices you can make significantly only to retain this freedom, but unless you "cash in" that freedom at some point to make a choice without restrictions (which will probably limit your freedom of choice in the future) you are living with a limited choice-space just the same.

Predeterminism is the correct term for what's going on. Research Einstein, Hawking, Husserl and Heidegger on that. Research "consciousness lag". Listen to Roger Castillo, he breaks that down into quite simple descriptions.

You are a biological automaton, predetermined by your biological and social preconditions, i.e. programmed. Everybody is, all the time, right now, e.g. me typing and reading this and having the taste of coffee in my mouth.

Your thoughts are a phenomenon inside of your consciousness, i.e. you are not thinking (no one is), you are that what is aware of all phenomena as it occurs to you. Your thoughts and feelings are just another phenomena. As soon as you are aware of anything, it already happened/manifested. If all you can be aware of is in the past, try to argue about free will. The present is an infinitely small border between future and past.

Everybody can figure all of this out by simple observation.
It's not so difficult.
Yes, exactly. There is nothing wrong with honest communication, stating that you are thinking about building a product. The problem is when people write pages acting like the product already exists, collecting emails under false pretenses.
Keep going, this is great
It is becoming clear to me that much of the perceived difference of opinion here is just because of terminology. I was thinking of "development" as meaning specifically the programming side of things. This is quite distinct from the other skills you mentioned like responsive design or database design.

Of course someone might have both front-end programming and user interface design responsibilities on the same project, but I would no more assume that than I would assume the same person would have both front- and back-end programming roles, and the skills for the latter combination are much more closely related. My point here is just that everyone has a different mix of skills and trying to pigeonhole people or restrict anything to only certain combinations is not necessarily either realistic or helpful.
Pretty much all (modern) HPC I'm aware of is C++. Now I'd be the first one to agree researchers aren't the best programmers, but I also think that is not the only thing that matters. C++ allows huge teams to cooperate in getting a lot of stuff done (there isn't a single CERN result that isn't verified against C++ generated data for instance).

C++ is like a natural language at this point: very crufty and layered, hard to use sometimes, even ugly, but you can do a ton with it and if you work with the language you can even write poetry in it ;)
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, this is a reasonable interpretation that matches what the universities themselves claimed:

> The universities said in their court challenge to the latest policy that “by all appearances,” the government’s attempt to force international students to study on campus had also been a political move, calculated to advance the Trump administration’s agenda to force universities to reopen their gates with in-person classes.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/coronavirus-internatio...

Of course the fact that this hurts immigrants is icing on the cake to the administration, but it seems like the primary goal of this was to use international student revenue as leverage to force universities to open.
