> You clearly have strong feelings about Go, and have shared a metaphor to express your distaste for it

I was extending an analogy that was already presented. The context is, funnily enough, right above my comment if you'd like to read it.

And I don't have strong feelings about Go; its existence is ultimately irrelevant to me as a dev. I do have strong feelings about a certain cadre of Go enthusiasts, however.

> What is this "insurmountable dilemma"

It doesn't exist. That's the point. Said enthusiasts like to pretend as if everybody else is absolutely drowning in a dilemma of which way to achieve X in their language of choice, while Go is for "getting stuff done"™, because obviously no-one ever did anything apart from bikeshedding prior to Go's appearance.

> or the "basic variations to the hammer head"

Any number of programming language features/concepts which some Go enthusiasts like to decry as unbearably fanciful complexity. If it's not in Go then it must be Bad regardless of being objectively superior to whatever Go offers as a replacement. Parametric polymorphism is perhaps the most infamous of these, and even with the Go team moving forward with a specification for generics there are still people that complain about the language losing its "simplicity".

> As its written, your comment reads more like language warfare than discussion

Of course. And relegating people's preferences in their work tools to "musing about beauty and correctness" (presented as caring less about productivity) is "discussion" not language warfare.
apple actually banned update descriptions like that a few years ago. when they announced it they started enforcing it but i goes over time they’ve gotten lax or just give big companies exceptions
goto grad school and write papers. you can explore topics that interest you more deeply, and while you may not know everything about a large topic like ML, you can focus in on a specific sub-topic and become the world's leading expert.

https://www.datarobot.com/blog/a-primer-on-deep-learning/

You probably know most of the information in this post about ML, but this picture at the top shows what researchers are trying to discover about ML.

Basically, researchers are inspecting the middle layers of neural networks to determine patterns. It's kinda a backwards approach to understanding nn's, as we already can use them without understanding them, but this should show that there's opportunity to really dive into these "deep" questions in academia.

I think this is the actual paper, but it seems to have a wider topic:

Many mobile apps rely on shared components/libs/frameworks that are either developed by the company or are FOSS (libpl_droidsonroids_gif for example). In either case...they are platform agnostic and usually written in C.
And as we all know C is full of memory handling problems like overflows.

Hopefully in 2020 and beyond people will be developing these shared components in Rust instead.
Ick.

I use xmonad, despite not knowing any Haskell. I basically just copy pasted little snippets from all over the place and changed random characters until it started working.

Hey, don’t hate on .NET!

Windows Vista and up shipped with .NET 3 and .NET 2.0 was a one-time install for Windows XP that enabled devs to ship complete GUI applications with network, file system support, OS integration, COM integration, and more in a single 100KB binary.

UWP is, of course, a different story.

> First off - if you're renting - you're not putting holes in the walls that go to the exterior and there certainly aren't any already existing. I've never seen or heard of that in the USA - particularly for apartments.

This is allowed in my apartment. My closest neighbor cut a hole in the door leading outside and affixed an air conditioner to it, then made a setup of plastic bagging to make it lead all the way to their bedroom across the living space. In fact multiple other renters on the first floor did exactly the same thing.

It's a relatively expensive place in Washington at around $2,200/mo market price.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding and the hole in the door existed before. I'll have to ask the next time I see them.
> The vast majority of users do not want to pay for the apps/utilities on their phones, but still appreciate the value these apps provide them nonetheless.

Chicken and egg problem. There are enough free apps that they drag down user expectations for pricing. It's hard to figure out value on an absolute scale ("hmmm, is this worth $4?"), and easy to compare value on a relative scale ("wow, $8 seems expensive for an app"). Ads push the app market downwards.

> I'm curious what revenue model you would suggest for apps that wish to remain free

The same revenue model I'd suggest for any other kind of regularly produced content that can't charge or doesn't want to: patronage, subscriptions, sponsorships, merch, add-ons or regular updates that people want to pay for, services people want to pay for. Have you ever read some of the behind-the-scenes details from YouTube channels that support the people making them? Ads don't even come close to paying the bills, even if you're huge. Patronage, subscriptions, sponsorships, and merchandise do.

The runner is only an administrative process. It can be indeed put into a Docker container. The instructions are easy to follow, the image is built by gitlab and updated regularly. If you choose the alpine variant instead of latest it's much smaller. We have done that for 2+ years and not noted any limitations.

The runner will start jobs that do the real building (or whatever you have coded in your CI). Again you can choose to have jobs executed in docker containers. Also documented by gitlab, easy to set up. Of course you need to provide a suitable Docker image where your build can work. Nobody can do that for you. In simple cases you can pull something existing from Docker hub without further additions.
I do understand your feelings of a responsibility to be up to date on news, especially when it is regarding political events. It's easy to get the facts from a report on the weather, a tornado devastated a town, you know this is true because you can see the photos (selected for drama) taken of the damage.

It's more difficult when reporting is on things that are a little more fluffy. Claims a politician did something are almost impossible to verify and reporting on this ends up being an exercise in spin. One of the best things about politicians taking to twitter to directly communicate is that you have an unfiltered direct message. If something is in a tweet from a politician then you can be pretty sure that is the message they want to get out. If they same something stupid or ill considered at least you can judge them on that, not so much the actual facts of the content.

So media of all types allow you to judge the messenger, less so the message.

Whether or not the draft dossier of uncertain providence is all legit, I agree it looks like Labour’s issues ran deep. However, I’d still argue there’s an issue around Corbyn’s leadership.

You’re the leader of Labour; your party is being criticised in very damaging ways and (for the sake of argument) it’s because your internal processes are being sabotaged. What do you do? Maybe... look into it? Fix it? Change the people responsible if that’s what it takes? At best, it was weak leadership. At worst, it was a reluctance to discipline political allies.

Easy resolution here--give all athletes an echocardiogram when they first walk in the door as a freshman (to also check for structural/enlarged defects).

> Would it be so crazy to put your business up on eBay or some other auction site?

Business brokering is a thing. In California alone there's an entire association, California Association of Business Brokers (https://cabb.org/), and I would assume such an industry exists elsewhere. I used to peruse listings at sites like https://www.bizbuysell.com/buy/ and daydream about owning a small convenience store.

I once even tried to buy one, going so far as to sign an offer agreement, but that was before I understood that banks don't normally give small business loans using the business alone as collateral. Federal SBA loans go through banks, which will still expect security, so it's not that much easier even if you're a minority, able to benefit from [mythical] preferential treatment. The owner I tried to buy from was a serial small shop owner. Later I learned that he was trading-up his convenience store (aka liquor store in SF) for a mailbox and shipping store. Apparently in SF those do well, or at least the place he bought in the Outer Richmond (Little Russia) did. He was from Georgia and spoke Russian.

I think the problem with butcher shops, flower shops, etc, is that they require apprenticing or at least having significant prior experience. The agreement with the liquor store owner included a month of working side-by-side to learn the business and to verify cash flow, but that's not a very complicated skillset to learn compared to butchering.

Also, once you have enough assets to start a business or buy an existing business, you're probably well into a career and have other responsibilities and obligations that make it difficult to switch occupations, and definitely difficult to apprentice. Most small business owners want a quick exit. They don't usually make alot of money. Aside from their home (which may have been mortgaged for the business), their savings is tied up in the business--goodwill, stock, and any intangible assets like accounts payable and licenses. (At that time a liquor license in SF was worth about $20-30k.) So there's a real mismatch between those who hypothetically would be willing to take over a business, and those who are actually in a position to do so. One obvious large cohort is children of the owners, and that's partly because the owner is effectively willing to sell at a discount (at least in terms of risk, if not the nominal price, such as with seller financing).
This sounds like a complex port knocking setup with bigger overhead.

> Reward hard work, not achievements. Working 40 hours and getting a semi-bad grade in biology is much more important than studying 4 hours and getting 100% in math.

That makes me picture someone staying up all night every night, hindering their ability to concentrate and work effectively at all, because working hard is more important than working effectively.

Pushing it to a further extreme, maybe they can go out and dig holes and refill them, or move a bunch of heavy rocks from one spot to another across a field and then move them back. They could do this dawn to dusk every day. That's harder work than studying, so why prefer studying?
Having dealt with my share of technically-unsavvy users, I can confirm that half the job is managing their feelings. The other half is working around them to keep things safe and functional in spite of them.

That's exactly the wrong solution, because it implies within it that they get to continue holding a monopoly as long as they're a regulated one. And then the regulations address the most visible seven of the two hundred thousand problems that are caused by monopolies and leave all of the other ones.

What's needed is to reintroduce meaningful competition.

Brad DeLong is a distinguished economic historian who has a long-running blog where he tends to the ascerbic. He's not gunning for Graeber. Graeber is just one of many topics he has addressed over the years.

Graeber can't really defend his Apple quote, so he resorts to this kind of personal attack. DeLong being wrong about Sumer does not make Graeber right about Apple.

He had very little tolerance for disagreement. The blog Crooked Timber had a roundtable to discuss Debt. The discussion was mostly positive, but with some criticisms around the edges. Graeber had a vituperative response that took everyone by surprise. You can see the conclusion of the discussion with a perplexed response here: https://crookedtimber.org/2012/04/04/because-imperialism/

Your manager is pushing for something wonderful because he wants to be promoted. That doesn't mean that you have to give it to him. You just have to give him good work (at least as good as the average of your coworkers).

Now, it could be that you're never going to be able to fit in to that environment. Or it could be just your boss, and you're never going to be able to be comfortable working under him. I'm not saying that you should stay forever. If it's a bad environment for you, it's a bad environment for you. But be sure that's the case before leaving. And wait long enough to leave that you don't look like a flake - really short stints with an employer on resumes raise questions.

I have to say, after all this is over I'll never brush off flu shots again.

I used to think of the flu as just "a cold, but worse", so I usually wouldn't bother to get a yearly flu shot. I saw it as five minutes of guaranteed unpleasantness vs an unlikely week of unpleasantness. My employer used to have CVS come by the office and give them to us for free; I didn't even have to pay and I still sometimes wouldn't bother.

Now via all these discussions I'm learning so much about how bad the flu can actually be for you in real, lasting ways. Really eye-opening.
I guess I don't see the point of this. This isn't going to be anything about needing a nicotine fix, I imagine if you're trying to stop smoking vaping and slowly cutting back the nicotine intake is an obviously better solution. If you're trying to stop vaping I can't see why on Earth you would go back to smoking something.

Also I thought self promotion was banned here. Funny how Dang has the time to stomp out any hint of discomfort with Chinese genocide but cannot do the bare minimum when it comes to getting rid of ads for cigarettes.
These minisplit units are typically, at least 9k to 12k BTUs, and if it a multi-zone unit it can be 24k or more.

I have yet to see a portable AC in the US that is more than 12k btus and as quiet as a mini-split.

Mini-splits are more popular now in the US, but, for whatever reason, the US is really into ducted systems.

Google has no competition in marketing? Are these serious statements? I can advertise on Instagram, pay social media influencers and the ways to market to folks are literally endless, from postcards, to delivery route saturation campaigns to annoying popups on Hulu videos to microtargeted facebook ads. I hate facebook, don't have the app, but campaigns on facebook at least historically could do amazingly well if you had the targeting down.

Historically one paper in town basically got most advertising. Those folks printed money. Classifieds etc.

There has been an explosion of marketing opportunities now. I can market on amazon if I think that would yield more (it does sometimes).

I interpret to chronologically: that the rise of Corbyn to leadership of Labour revitalised some segments of supporters, some of whom had anti-Semitic views. I don’t for a second think that he personally was anti-Semitic, but some of his supporters and political allies probably are, and his prominence led to their greater prominence also.
Any "business grade" laptop. Ex lease.

The keyboards on Thinkpads are easily replaceable, and you can get replacement batteries (in several capacities) and trackpads much more easily for "business" laptops than consumer ones. The same probably applies to Latitudes and Probooks.

For a long time Thinkpads were one of a very few laptops with display resolutions above 1366x768, but those days are now long past.
I read carefully. Das Kapital has nothing to do with the Iranian government of today or at any time, neither do the Soviets. The structure of the governments are incomparable, and that book talks almost exclusively about economics. It's completely devoid of sense.

By the way, Plato's Republic is in large part a critique of Democracy, just FYI. Its central thesis is that a just absolute monarch that is well-versed in philosophy and justness is the highest form of governance. If anything, I'd say in philosophy Plato's republic advocates most strongly for something you would call a Leninist/Stalinist state, and there is actually a direct lineage from Plato to Hegel to Lenin/Stalin, in that Plato essentially argued for totalitarianism by the right people. It's basically the only thing a Stalinist state has in common with the Iranian state, and is also directly delineated from Plato's Republic, ironically. It's even more ironic in that Marx's central thesis in this respect was to flip dialectical government on its head into a democratic "perversion" of Hegel and of Plato at the base.

In fact, the technocratic aristocratic meritocracy proposed by Plato in Republic is stunningly similar to what Lenin was advocating for in the Vanguard party, and not only that, but it failed exactly for the reasons for which Marx critiqued Hegel's version of the same concept! The history of philosophy is full of interesting plot twists.
