I have always viewed coding as a form of writing. The challenging parts of coding are the architecture, solving for original problems, and reduction (maintaining simplicity via refactoring). The same things apply to writing.

A common pattern I have observed is that developers most challenged at writing tend to be the developers most challenged at providing an original code solution.
Sure, I said dominant, not common.

I don't know how representative these results are, but it's a clue.

Why? (Asking seriously what your reasons are)

IF it turns out that Bennu has abundant/valuable mineral resources then it might make sense, but we don't know that yet.
Think about it this way.

The Earth today is not capable of sprouting life (abiogenesis). In fact, from the fossil record and genetic studies, the Earth has almost certainly been unable to form new life (out of un living substances I mean) for billions of years.

Then, the same is true for multicellular life appearing from unicelular life. All of the living multi-cell organisms today seem to be descended from 1 common ancestor, 1 time that multicellular life has ever appeared in more than a billion years.

So right now, the very basic needs for life to even start seem to be staggeringly unlikely. Even at the huge scales of planets in the universe, it could be that the chances we'll ever meet another civilization are un conceivably low.

Of course, simple life could exist 'all over the place', and most scientists generally believe that. But life capable of interstellar communication like us may well be staggeringly rare in the universe.

We'll probably know a lot more about this in the coming decades/century, as we'll hopefully be able to send probes to look for life on Mars, Europa, Venus and other potential candidates in the Solar System. Perhaps we'll even be able to create abiogenesis in the lab and be able to learn more about the possible requirements that way.

Develop in Visual Studio and debug your code (with the VS debugger attached) in a Linux environment.
I don’t see that as a benefit, I see that as an accident. The fact that the whole thing is a hairball isn’t how editors two centuries from now will be. But it is an approximation to a modern system.
I remember doing this using X forwarding 10 years ago. Of course there is the potential here to implement something more performant, but for things like development tasks where 3D acceleration isn't so important, this has been possible since forever. So I wonder what's so exciting about it?
Consumer protection laws nevertheless hold manufacturers liable. Small part of why doing hardware is hard.
No, because:

1 - throughout all these years Linux developers have been giving money to Apple instead of supporting Linux OEMs. Using a BSD flavour to target Linux

2 - Apparently many like the extend done by Google with Android and ChromeOS
> We have atomic power that can be source of energy for thousands of years and we have technology to build sustainable ecosystem and push it in a direction of another star (albeit very slowly).

We are missing the technology to build anything in space, and to create small (dozens to hundreds of km of radius) ecosystems capable of sustaining people. We really do not have the technical means for space exploration.

The good news is that people are researching both, as improvements on them lead to profits here on Earth. So I do think we'll get there reasonably quickly.
The issue is they're heavily implying it's something specific to PinePhone. I just scrolled through the legal notices on an iPhone, and they all have the exact same wording.
Small components, such as the graphics libraries, the kernel, health data, the web browser, etc...

Those types of stories are great fodder for the CCP propaganda engine on how stupid Americans are and we're just lucky to be the lead world power right now and are just talent-less yokels who got here randomly.
That comes with the big assumption that in basically any given corner of the universe, civilizations in galaxies billions of light years away are pumping out radio signals strong enough to be detected from earth.

How likely is it that by the time humanity would be a space faring society that we’d be pumping turbo charged radio signals that are easily distinguished from noise when doing a quick sweep? How likely is it that societies are using radio signals or something similar for a long period of time, and not simply using some better method that humans have yet to discover?

I always prefer to have a backup solution which could at least crawl during these situation if not able to walk. I see many SaaS relying only on google/twitter/fb auth but they need to understand that having own system too won't harm them much.
Yeah that’s true. So I should clarify that I do care about my department’s budget, but the sum of money we’re talking about here is like $5-10k, or about 2.5-5% of someone’s loaded cost. I’d much rather secure a good candidate than squabble over that. If they’re asking for an extra $50k, then it’s a different scenario.

I hear people justify not negotiating by saying things like “I’m worried what they’ll think of me” or “I don’t want to create trouble”. This is what people think I care about, but don’t.

And as others have said, absolutely this is different for small companies where they’ll feel it more personally.
Celebrities, CEOs and politicians have also been cancelled, if that counts.
I for one, would like batteries without built-in IC as we can run the device with external power even after the battery has died, with the battery removed, older phones/tablets where capable of being used with external power with a trivial hack.

With current generation devices, once the battery is dead, it requires replacement even to use the device for an application which has constant power supply(e.g. external monitor), especially if it has become a spicy pillow and constant power supply means it can again become a spicy pillow[1].

>But what is the market for affluent and influential tech workers in the West? Probably like 95% MacBook Pro.

I'm also dev in the West and no, it's not even close to being 95% MacBook Pro. Maybe in The Bay Area it's 95% but where I live(Europe) It's mostly Windows 10 + WSL or Ubuntu.

And I wouldn't call tech workers here as influential, not at all. Again, Maybe in the Bay Area they are but here nobody cares about what your job is or what expensive laptop you have.

Yes, that will work. As part of running `apt upgrade`, the package base-files will get upgraded from 10.3+deb10u5 to 10.3+deb10u6 which will update /etc/debian_version to say 10.6 instead of 10.5.
AFAIK: No. These days the default Windows WM seem to dominate. I don’t know of any viable alternatives to it.
I think gitlab has a few email gateways. You can send patches to salsa if you create an account first. To be quite honest, at least this way spam goes down a bit.

For the maintainers, they can filter things when it arrives this way. As a productivity tool, gitlab is great.

A lot of the attributes you describe are the attributes that humans have for hearing and perception as a range, no?

Interesting if there is a particular reason our bodies converged to this state because of a link to sound and resiliency to information communication. I need to think on that one.
Is it me or is this piece terribly written. Even after first 10 paragraphs very little context of what I was reading. Odd for a NYT article.
It's still very unclear, these companies would be part of the Pre-IPO investment and the new govt is also about to come.
Most of the US airlines will end up bankrupt in the next 12 months which will give the re-organized companies a lot of contractual leeway in deciding what planes they really want to fly.

I would discount anything Boeing says or does at this point. Their financial outlook is tied to the airlines but worse. The upside is the assumption of federal bailouts for Boeing are morning likely than those for airlines. Whether or not that outlook retains Boeing's current equity holders is another issue.

We don't have to stumble around blind here. Philosophy has long pondered the nature of language. A more recent idea is that a language as we think of it - English, French, etc. - does not exist per se; rather we engage in "games" with each other which are languages in themselves. For example, when I buy something from a shop I am playing the "purchase an item at the cashier stand" game. Both the cashier and myself know all the valid moves in the game - they say the price, I provide a method of payment, etc. Some of these moves involve use of a limited subset of English words, but even if I'm in a foreign country where the cashier doesn't speak English we can usually make it work. This interaction is a language in itself. If I were to walk up to the cashier and try to play the "negotiate salary for a full-time position" game, only confusion would result - I would be speaking the wrong language, even though I'm emitting sounds which we both find familiar. Much confusion and anguish in the world results from people playing the wrong language game with each other - for example, one person playing the "venting frustrations" game while another plays the "provide advice" game.

In this analysis, the "explain quantum phenomena" game is just a language where the rules are especially strange and prone to pitfalls. Deploying vocabulary from mathematics, a system with very well-defined and mutually-understood rules, enables us to navigate this space.
1. It can be used as propaganda to make Americans look stupid an capricious.

2. They can get information on kids now to be used against them in the future as blackmail (and similar) when those same kids become politicians. Say what you want about the Chinese but they are great at long-term 5, 10, 20 year plans.
Pijul is indeed vastly different and significantly more complex than WOOT, in that it handles conflicts (whereas WOOT doesn't). Conflicts are fundamental for asynchronous systems, but don't matter that much for synchronous (or almost synchronous, like WOOT) ones, since users usually notice them immediately as they type.
It doesn't read to me that the author is stating it's a hot potato, I read it as them just saying "hey guys, look out for this."
Most Java devs I know wouldn't touch go. Lack of generics, proper collection classes and having to manually iterate everything isn't very attractive to people who have these features.
Well the big benefit of the MAX is the engines, and the new engines have a much bigger fan, which means a complete rearrangement of how the engines are mounted on the wing, and how that affects the wingbox, which means in effect yes, they need the MAX. Boeing before the MAX faced the dilemma of the successful 737 form factor, but the requirement for larger fans for more fuel efficiency. They had to toss up between a newer replacement model (complete with more ground clearance, new design which is about a decade long timeframe, with the osbourne effects etc) or shoehorn bigger fan engines on the 737, which is what the MAX is.

In short if you want the ~15% improvement in fuel efficiency of modern engines with the 737 airframe you need a MAX. It is bordering on impossible for Boeing to take the 737 airframe any further after the MAX.
That does not make Parks refusal story telling at all? That is just somebody else also defiantly refusing to stand up?

No part of Claudette story contradits anything I wrote. No part of detailed Parks story co tradicta none of that either.

Neither of the two were the first black arrested on the bus. Arrests, beatings, occasional murders or rape happened before the two. The segregation was not keeping itself magically before. But yes, Parks and also women political council and also NAACP were all influenced by Colvin (who became member of Parks youth group). And Colvin was influenced by priors too.
Although heavily redacted, part of their claim is that US user data is stored on servers leased by a PRC state owned enterprise located in Virginia (China Telecom?).

TikTok has repeated said American user data is safe because it's stored in the US, and it would never give data to the PRC government. This arrangement could (depending on the specifics) be a circumvention around both of those promises.

Maybe it’s not nefarious, but certainly not good optics.

Yeah, unfortunately doom isn’t designed to be beginner friendly. I’m personally in two minds about customize. It is quite clunky and I think it’s too easy to have your customisations overwritten by customise or something else or to have them overwritten in confusing ways. But it also gives a non-lisp interface to a lot of customisation (manually setting up the data structures can be a big pain to get right without it).
No it hasn't. However, it probably has with you. If you believe the CCP over the US government then I think you might want to go over to your local Chinese consulate and have some interesting conversations with the People's Party.

Tech works who influence other tech workers. This is important because if everyone you see speaking at conferences is using a MacBook, and all the software available is for MacBooks, then other people are pushed to use MacBooks.

If they use the license wording to help get it across, well, I don't necessarily agree but as they state in the article:

> I'm trying to be a bit inflamatory here, to start the conversation.
I don’t really understand why they did this though…? For inspiration…?
Fair enough. Probably at "agree to disagree" here.

I'll agree that its easier to do custom post types on other CMS. But sometimes at the cost of real overheads in terms of complexity for users to swallow to get there.

Caching is built into the core, which is what all caching plugins leverage, the interface to it is hidden.

PHP is a theming engine.

I've never got why people escape into Blade, Twig or so on. PHP was designed to have loops, logic, to take variables and so on and interpolate them within HTML. It has an alternative syntax to make this easier. It's one of the unique capabilities the language has over almost all other languages you'd use on the web. More often than not you end up escaping into pure PHP in any case in something like Blade.

> But the problem isn't random sites use WordPress, the problem is people build weird monstrosities on top of a really garbage system.

Don't think its garbage for the reasons explained, but I think this true of all software projects. Seen plennty of Drupal, Laravel or Joomla projects end in this state.
Looks impressive. Definitely useful for people who want to use/need windows and doesn't want to dual boot. I love how Microsoft loves open source by making Linux environment available on Windows.

So, Since Microsoft loves open source too much, I also believe they are creating Linux Subsystem for Windows where we can run Windows programs on Linux.(it may be better than wine because it is by Open Source loving Microsoft which created Windows).
So, Linux users who can't run Programs say Adobewares can then run in Linux Subsystem for Windows.

I also hope they will port Microsoft Officewares to Linux too. Since, MS loves Open Source, I believe that they will benefit Open Source and make Operating System a freedom that must be available to all people.
Thanks. Works fine on a Mac. On a Mac, you can get your adeptkey.der running the script provided here:

I think the difference is that with types, you have a language based reference which you can talk about (fn x takes type y). This allows you to build the lower functions and check the abstractions at compile time, without having to build the higher levels or even run the program.

With a dynamic language, you need a specific instance of data in order to write your functions, so you typically start from the top function and implement downwards. I think this works well when you have a light layer over some other library or system, but does not work well when you are implementing many layers in your own code.

I think this is what he hints at with:

> When I want to know if my code is working, I actually have to run the Python thing and feed it with data

I like REPLs, but Im experimenting with a type system + running a test on save that exercises the functions Im currently working on. This feels REPL-like as the iteration loop is fast.

It's interesting because I would previously implement something top down from the highest functions, but now I can implement mostly bottom up as the types/compiler gives me the language to define the layers.
Since it is from Taiwan I feel that I should correct the translation:
>aiming to give full play to the professional technology and platform advantages of Toutiao and DouYin in big data analysis

DouYin is the Chinese App, which is hosted in China, and TikTok is hosted in Singapore and Canada I believe.

I don't know if the incorrect translation was on purpose or not, thought correcting it can only be fair.

Microsoft has a different moral compass nowadays. They need Linux to survive to grow their business so it makes sense to integrate such support into their desktop environment. We all win.

Feeling the world is going to implode is overwhelming, I admire your courage for speaking out.

From your post it is a bit unclear what you mean by feeling under-experienced compared to your peers. Is it at technical level? Work ethic/principles? Understanding of the whole technology stack? Or perhaps process in your company?

While any of these topics can be tackled and improved independently, little would contribute so much as literature on:

- Clean methodology from Robert C. Martin. In particular, "Clean Coder" (ISBN-13 : 978-0137081073).

- Software craftsmanship. In particular "The software craftsman" (ISBN-13 : 978-0134052502).

These should give you, in my humble opinion, some fresh motivation and abstract overview on software development in general.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!

It's pretty mainstream to say that racism is a result of greed. If you're going to force resources to be distributed unevenly in your favor, you have to come up with reasons why you must deserve those resources more than others. If there are convenient physical features to use in that reason, then you'll get racism. So a greed that doesn't have a racism is just one where everyone shares the same features. If your definition of racism is inclusive of distinctions in language or manner, then it's probably not even possible to have greed without racism.

It's the greed that should be attacked, its expression (in racism) is arbitrary.

> The good thing about greed is that it’s generally colorblind.

So I'm saying the opposite of this. Greed is never colorblind, it sees whatever color is convenient at the time.
Does it force people who want to submit bug, to accept any additional license agreements?
Yup, guard statements are indeed great. I am using them all the time. They say more than an if statement, they "guard" the rest of the code that comes afterwards. And especially "guard let" is super useful.

It's ok for you not to like Swift, though. After all, taste is subjective.
And you're in the bay area as well?

I'm arguing against the specific examples, not negotiating in general (that is a good thing to do). I really don't see these long messages/emails getting anywhere, in my experience HR have dropped the ball for less than that. It's over the top to send them long messages in writing that you will never accept whatever number they give and reserve the right to disagree anytime.
