The KVM I got is actually even simpler than a button press. It detects the active input and uses that so when I turn off my work laptop and turn on my desktop it switches. Its totally seamless.
As one of the novices just trying to allocate my time, I'm constantly trying to understand whether, say, it's worth really understanding C++ at a deep level, or whether I should just try to learn Rust.

Think about languages as tools: focus on the tools you need to use. Your career will be long and there will be plenty of time to branch out, but you have very limited time for mastery, so you should master the tools you use often.

All too often, I find this devolves into me scouring the internet for "C++ is ok but the ownership model is so primitive that I would never start a new project in it" and comparing it to "My problem with Rust is that it's still such a nascent language I can't trust it to have the libraries I need". Who are these people, and why are they saying these things? Are their gripes relevant to me? I have no way to know!

Honestly, just pick one and run with it. Part of becoming an experienced programmer is developing your own heuristics for how to pick the right tool for the right job and how to read this type of discussion, and a big part of that is building up both wins and losses to train your intuition.

When they say "OOP is now considered an anti-pattern, most companies are moving towards reactive FP", do they really mean "I work at snapchat and the ads group I work for is moving away from OOP. My friend at amazon said he's doing the same thing"?

If it's an internet forum and you don't see references or citations, it's probably safe to assume it's the latter. They might still be right, but not verifiably so.
Thank you. What do you think of adding a feature like a virtual moving pathway, kind of like a moving mat they have in airports, museums, and aquariums to keep lines moving.
Yes, Forward does not have characters, in terms of agents with motivations and opinions. They are engineering constraints.

If you can treat these books as something like Socratic dialogue, or Medieval theatre, then you can get a feel for Forward's facility with gravitational dynamics. Quadrupole radiation. Relativistic mechanics.
> What KVMs instead contain is similar to the rescaler ASICs found in a monitor, they receive multiple streams of display data and mix/forward/scale one of these. But since they constantly receive all of the streams, switching can be instant, or at least as quick the monitor can modeswitch (which, for some reason, takes screens at least a second).

Do you know of a DisplayPort KVM switch that actually does that? I tried one a few years ago (it was one of the first ones I saw for a reasonable price), but I returned it immediately because I got the brain-dead window-rearranging behavior you described whenever I switched. I've been reluctant to try another until I know it solves that issue.

I still use one of these HDMI switches (https://www.iogear.com/product/GCS62HU/), because it's EDID support actually does make it transparent to the PCs, so I can switch instantly like I want to.
I'm doing CS50x at the moment and I can definitely recommend it. It got me interested in C despite trying to avoid it my entire life. David Malan is one of the best lecturers I've seen.
Covid-19 Deaths Significantly Reduced by Use of Steroids, Analysis Says
I run a pretty big VDI environment — my observation is that the the latest gen stuff on Xeon is about the same as the Haswell era gear, and slower for some use cases.

We’re actually planning on running that gear longer and moving people with more memory needs to newer gear with more memory — it’s all about the maintenance cost curve. We can get much more memory now with the same density, which offsets the CPU suckage.
Can Twitter Build Something Worth Paying For?
I suspect that in the same manner subvocalization limits your maximum reading speed, having to narrate your work in your head ultimately limits your effectiveness at creating or manufacturing something. Mastery requires you to push a bunch of concerns from System 2 to System 1 thinking. When the actions are subconscious, you can concentrate or orchestrating them.

Once the subvocalization stops, there is no 'conversation' to spy on, to recite to others by way of explanation. Which may be why I have spotted a number of situations where an advanced student has an easier time explaining things to an intermediate student than the instructor does (and especially an intermediate to a beginner); they are either still narrating, or the recency of that experience of narrating improves their recall (and their empathy).

Very old habits can be hard to break. I can clearly remember as a child pondering my reaction to a situation and weighing the options. Talking myself through it. Now they're automatic, I've already done the thing I'm trying to handle differently before my brain has a chance to comment on it. As far as I'm aware, there's a gap between our understanding of age-related cognitive decline and observed behavior (people have the capacity to adapt but don't use it), and I suspect that this particular phenomenon fills in part of that blank spot.

There's a moderately useful one I've used quite a few times: https://snapdrop.net/

It _imitates_ the AirDrop UI, but is not compatible.

Use case is you open up snapdrop.net on both devices (nearby? same wifi?) and you can send files between, but I believe it all goes through a central server. Great for sending a few photos from phone to laptop or linux device when AirDrop isn't an option.

>Association Between Administration of Systemic Corticosteroids and Mortality Among Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19: A Meta-analysis

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2770279?gu...
Some point that is not very clear if we read the article shallowly: the methane is not yet leaked to the ocean's surface, for now it is just melted, then dissolved into the water, and microorganisms are converting it to CO2, which adds a huge new source of CO2 for our already overloaded system.

I wonder how far away in the future is the point where the methane would actually raise quicker than bacteria are able to process it.
I feel like you've misunderstood my point. It was not my intention to conflate those two claims, I assumed when reading your comment that you are referring to some subset of people, not all people. As I mentioned, the type of interaction you described sounded less like someone arguing in bad faith, and more like someone who is under-informed. Yes, many people are in fact under-informed on this topic, especially since many are learning about it for the first time as a result of recent events. Accordingly, I would expect that there are many more people fitting this description, than there are people who argue in bad faith. This on its own would be a reasonable explanation for experiencing low quality discussions. So, you could have originally replied with something along the lines of, "to be fair, many people have only just learned of systemic racism, and as a result, casual discussions on the topic are often low quality and just muddy any debate."

But why focus on these low quality discussions in the first place? Don't they exist for nearly any topic? Are they really the highest priority when trying to have a constructive discussion?

This was the main point of my comment, to point out that your reply focused on the existence of low quality discussions, and in turn does more to perpetuate the idea that "systemic racism" is not well defined nor well founded in general, than it does to contribute to better understanding. Rapind's reply also points this out, that very low quality arguments are similar to strawman arguments, and even if it wasn't your intention, solely focusing on them can actually hinder the discussion.

If you acknowledge that better definitions of "systemic racism" exist, but you omit them and focus on poor definitions instead, you are contributing to the low quality of the debate yourself.

In regards to being honest with oneself, I mean being aware of your own understanding and it's limitations. How would you describe the depth of your understanding on this topic? Do you have resources you can share with others so they can better understand what you mean when you discuss systemic racism? Perhaps you can recommend a favorite book or specific author that you think covers the topic comprehensively and in good faith? Do you feel like you know what an expert means when they're using the term, as well as the common misconceptions faced by non-experts? Are you asking yourself these questions before you ask them of others?
Alfred is ultimately filling that role for me.
I don't know if this is considered poetry, but speaking of constraints breeding creativity, I'm reminded of the verbiage from V for Vendetta which uses mostly words starting with the letter V:

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

I had a very similar experience during my first somewhat long trip in my Leaf. It has a range of "150" miles, but it's closer to 120. My destination was 60 miles away, should be good for a round trip, maybe a short charge at the destination or on the way back.

Nope. It's 30F out and that left me with 5% battery when I reached my destination. There was a charger nearby at a CVS. Arrived there an it was out of order. The town had a charger in their parking garage, get in and that's out of order as well and I had to pay $5 for the 5 minutes I was in garage.

Drove to the next town over for the next closest charger. 2 blocks away and I'm at 0%, the car is yelling at me but managed to make it to the charger. It works! It's a level 2, but should charge to full in an hour. Head to the shopping area and keep track of the charging process on my phone, which was nice. An hour later and I'm only up to 30% and I have to go back and start the charging process again. Wander around for another hour to get to 75% and can't stay longer because the garage is closing.

Thankfully that 75%, with the heater off and not going above 45mph let me get home with 5% battery left. Many lessons learned that day.
It was probably phones and datacaps that really did it. Torrents are really only ok on laptops/desktops and the unexpected data usage for customers is much worse than the costs of distributing data.

Steam could probably benefit loads from torrents but they do have extremely good distribution servers already.

Well I mean... You can implement Prolog compilers and interpreters in Common Lisp: https://www.cliki.net/Prolog. There is a programming language called Factor that takes lots of goodies from Common Lisp, which means you can do the same thing in Factor, too, quite easily and elegantly. I guess you have not heard of Factor before, but I really love it. If you have some time you might want to visit https://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor for more information. You might dismiss it because it is a concatenative language, but believe me, there is a lot to it! It is fascinating how much Slava has accomplished with it alone (and later with about 2-4 people?) within such a short period of time. It is as modern as it gets. :)

I hear "I tried FP and learned a lot but it wasn't practical" all the time. Far more than the inverse.
> A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors

A helpful analogy can be drawn by comparing two facts: a composition of something with its inverse produces the identity (a.k.a. unity, to use the Latin root), while a composition of something (e.g. a functor) with its "adjoint" (not quite the inverse) produces something similar that is better said in Greek.

Serious question: is there any difference between the developer editions and the non-developer editions except for the preinstalled OS? I have a non-developer XPS 15 (version from 2017 or 2018) and run Linux on it. The Dell website lists the current generation XPS 15 with 32 GB RAM. I'm curious why you don't consider the ones available?
Of course it is not an inherent property of a particular language or concurrency model, but it is a property of a particular language ecosystem. As a turing complete language, everything is doable in ruby, but at what cost? Now we are back to trade-offs I listed above.

As for async IO in production, looking at the client library, https://github.com/socketry/async-http is barely 3 years old, and probably reached the production-ready state a few months ago, if we are being generous.

But good point about service mesh. Moving the circuit breaker responsibility to the service mesh would definitely help in my case, as the sidecar would have all the data points from the 10+ single-threaded ruby processes running in the same pod, and thus could make a much quicker decision.

Yeah, it could well be the case that our scanning technology has improved to the point that we can efficiently screen everyone without any need to single out people that get flagged. Then again, there was also lots of resistance to the introduction of this improved scanning tech too (people seeing blurry monochrome outline of human genitalia is apparently a major civil rights violation). It seems like people are in opposition even to improvements in the screening process that make it more effective, and therefore fairer (less need to single flagged people out for a pat down).

I think you lost the room when you mentioned Haskell. If someone has to reach point where they understand point-free style in order to form this anti-OOP opinion you won't find many takers.
Just curious, but why `Boolean()` over `!!`?
Dogma and also specific bad implementations - a significant percentage of the complaints I’ve heard from other developers were basically Java’s cumbersome design and the enterprise software complexity fetishists. Python developers complain about it orders of magnitude less because it’s usually not a problem.

There are two biases skewing perception, too: the first is simply that people using other languages or writing newer Java well are probably not writing blog posts about how their language is less hassle than the business.

The second is that OOP is so much more popular that people forget to adjust for things like skill levels for a mainstream versus niche language. There are tons of jobs in OOP languages so there’s a ton of code written by people who weren’t going to write great code in any language, whereas a lot of less widespread languages - especially those built around an academic concept - will self-select programmers who are trying to improve their craft. This is telling you more about the job market and how much companies value quality than the languages.
There are other ways to encapsulate besides private member functions. And, honestly, private member encapsulation is overrated. I rarely see a design that would have been dramatically improved by language-enforced member accessibility restrictions. The problems are typically more basic than that, like complete disregard of the Single Responsibility Principle.

Why do these threads and many other political things become zero-sum?

You can have an alternative alongside current standard school structure. You don't need to abolish the current schools but run the alternative and see which one performs better. I find it upsetting how people don't want to introduce alternatives or let man have a choice. Why do people don't want others to have a choice?

You can see this almost everywhere. Take apple walled garden threads. Just why?

Have diverse schools and structure. Some can have bigger breaks and start at noon. Some can be stretched out age wise and be more sociable place. Others can be like prison.

It's bizzare how similar schools are here (India). Some of it is forced by bureaucracy of the state and central government but a lot of it is self imposed while handing out creative and diversity points in their advertisement pamphlet.

After multiple hospital visits due to ongoing complications during pregnancy, an induced labour and an emergency c-section followed by a week in hospital for my wife to recover...the only thing we had to pay for was parking at the hospital and a few meals for myself at the cafeteria.

The whole ordeal was stressful enough but the financial aspect was never in our minds. I can’t even imagine having to add financial stress on top of that.
