One area I have found where TRAMP really suffers is when you have a relatively high-latency connection. I'm living on the east coast right now and connect to a dev box in Washington to work, and tramp is basically unusable. Every time you enter a folder in a project, emacs will stall for 1-2 seconds (unless the folder has been entered and cached before: unfortunately every time you restart emacs you'll have to go through it all again). If you've forgotten to disable autocomplete in a remote shell buffer, the first character you type will cause emacs itself to hang forever. There's unacceptable lag when opening and even navigating files. Good luck ever running grep or magit.

With VSCode on the other hand, I have no issues at all: couldn't even tell the project was remote.

I still use emacs (emacs -nw via ssh), but it's nowhere near VSCode's responsiveness and now I cant use GUI emacs. It's definitely a source of frustration :/
The upgrade path for the Amiga chipset ended up being complicated. The 500 and 600 had the ECS chips, that allowed some video modes that were not tied to NTSC, at the cost of a reduced palette. The chipset also competes with the CPU for memory access and this second generation chipset addressed more memory, making the computer effectively slower ("chip RAM" was slow, "fast RAM" was the RAM outside the reach of the chipset that the CPU has exclusive access to). After ECS came AGA, which pushed the boundary further again (but, at this point, memory constraints were not so terrible).

And, of course, there was what seems like a cocaine-fueled endless sequence of management blunders that drove the company into the ground.
The tutorial also said that you are placing this string in an xml file for easy localization in the future. I am not defending their setup, but it sends a wrong message when you skip parts of the sentence.
I'm specifically not talking about the SAT and ACT since they're widely used by elite universities. Those tests top out way too early and can't reliably distinguish between the top 1% and the top 0.1% (The fraction of perfect scorers is much smaller than 1% but the standard error of measurement is way too large). The exams I have in mind are those like the science olympiads and the Cambridge STEP. STEP in particular is basically used for this purpose (olympiads are a slightly different beast).

"liberal" is too wide of a brush, basically; most folks are liberal (and also conservative!) and so the label brings in too many folks. Rogan's further to the left than the "liberal" centrist media; if it were not for all of the "signaling" that he does, like being a person who enjoys MMA, then he would be branded as a "socialist" just like his guests Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang.

Ten words or less to answer the headline: Because mass media is actually quite illiberal.

Yes, and presumably the employees who did quit, quit because they believed FaceBook crossed an ethical line. I dunno, they could have gag order contracts or something keeping them from talking about it, but I bet they'd still like to see FB's ethical problems exposed if they thought they were so bad they needed to quit.

That level of performance is mind boggling.

I can't think of a factory car running a sub 9 second quarter mile, and I can't think of a time I've seen a car run that time at a track then drive itself back home (and I spend a lot of friday nights at test-and-tunes), they are towed.

A 1:30 at Leguna Seca is also insane. That's Viper ACR / Ferrari 488 GTB / McLaren P1 levels of performance. I'd like to know who their test driver is, because if one of their engineers did that, then the performance is even more insane.
There is a line you stand on, it just isn't drawn explicitly in ink or paint.
Seems like an introductory thesis, totally lacking in examples. It would be great to see a few PR comments that need to be documented. I'd imagine that when that's the case, the underlying problem could be better addressed with a code change in most situations.

> If a language is already low-friction, there won't be much benefit to be gained from an IDE, as even a plain text editor will already get you near to optimal productivity in said language.

I don't think the IDE should do "everything" for you, and you should understand how its building/compiling the software. But with statically typed languages and library definition hints. I think I would be wasting time searching docs if I didn't have the hints and type info. I can't remember everything I work with, it's impossible.
A test that splits the top .1% of test takers vs. the top 1% likely isn't the best indicator of future career performance ( the source of university prestige ), or necessarily academic performance.

As someone who's spent just as much time (if not more) developing for embedded Android devices without Google Play Services as developing for "traditional" ones, you're making a meaningless distinction.

It's half the functionality that makes an Android device work for an unsophisticated user. To the point that people have to write shims just to get basic apps to run without it.

And the amount of functionality Google has moved into GPS has only grown over the years mind you, from things like Doze and its interaction with GPS, to installation processes that hook into it for verification...

If Android didn't have Google Play Services, it wouldn't be anything more than what Linux on smartphones is... a toy for geeks, nothing competitive with offerings like the iPhone.

So, I understand the idea of what you're saying (just intuitively) but I don't actually see how Akita provides this from the blog post. Aki said that `get_folder_metadata` wasn't used, and the screenshot of Akita seems to confirm that she is indeed removing it... Where does the bug get caught?

Not defending human rights abuses or China's behavior, but the idea that America set the precedent is myopic. The US isn't even 300 years old. History is much longer, darker, and more violent.

Human rights are themselves a fairly recent idea. I can't think of a single powerful country/empire that hasn't committed them to some degree. And things were much worse in the past.

Actually the solution is to store the secure-boot key and the full-disk-encryption key in the same place, and design the hardware so that erasing the former also erases the latter. You don't need any one-time anything.

I think that one of the big advantages of tabless batteries is supposed to be that they have a much larger contact area which makes them easier to cool, particularly spirally wound Li-Ion which is going to be hottest near the core.

The article is pretty clearly calling out the hypocrisy of the criticisms. It says nothing about “you can’t criticize Joe Rogan”
Privacy looks like a side effect.

Assuming we aren’t tracked any other way, if there’s any pattern to how things are assigned or they don’t change, there’s no privacy.

Was privacy a feature?
Just in case you were looking for an actual answer to your question: "no".
DPRIVE is the working group that owns all the ongoing DNS privacy work, including RFC 7226 (upon which RFC 8484 DoH depends and a bis document for which is probably to be expected next year) and the forthcoming BCP document describing best practices for all these privacy preserving DNS services. The existence of a short WG to spin up, consume a good first draft and spit out a single DoH document RFC 8484 doesn't change that. I have no idea which "moribund project" you're referring to and I doubt it's relevant here.

As to "not using ISP DNS servers in the first place" I guess you do not consider Comcast to be an ISP?

Or perhaps you didn't hear. Both Chrome and Firefox will automatically give Comcast's customers Comcast DNS over HTTPS. Mozilla secured a TRR agreement from Comcast in exchange, and presumably Google feels that this agreement plus any undisclosed paperwork from Comcast that they were shown as part of their onboarding process is enough to likewise trust it automatically in Chrome. We expect to see more ISPs doing this over the next few years. If you cannot beat them, join them, eh?
But it does sound like "backlash" is a more accurate description than mere "criticism" in this case.

Visual Studio for Mac is nowhere near as good as on Windows. I can't speak for how it is on Linux. I'm glad it exists, but I've found it a pain to use.
Maybe we need a more advanced plugin that auto-agrees to all those tracking cookies to make the websites think they got permission and work, but then blocks/deletes those cookies so that they don't actually get to track.

Or even better, if the tracking uses some commonly available libraries, actually mess with their tracking data and send it back so that it's a lost cause on their part to even try to track people. Doubly awesome if FireFox can ship a browser that in its default configuration messes up tracking data with false data (hee hee).

IMO Eclipse is dying. Its new release cycle is pain because it fixes bugs only on quarter releases, they don't release patch releases even if very problematic. I encountered a few bugs.
Agreed - I've seen right wing friends who criticise Rogan get called "leftist" as an insult for it. I have no strong opinion on him, but I think he hits nerves with extremists on both sides of politics, despite the false image of being anti-liberal which has been hoisted on him, mostly by the right.
Just buy one. I guarantee you that it will be the most delightful online purchase ever (and if not, I'll reimburse you, just send a piece of glass from the bottle).

After I bought it, I kept everything, even the packaging.
I agree, I've got nothing against transgender people. I've got a problem with transgender activists going after people like J.K. Rowling, and trying to deplatform her, for her completely reasonable opinions. Fortunately in her case, she's too successful to deplatform, no publishing company is that stupid to turn her away.

I'm also deeply horrified what's happening to young girls especially where they are deciding they're trans and transitioning when much of the time they're simply confused teenagers. You merely have to look at how it clusters in friend circles like a contagion of the mind for proof it's a social phenomenon and not a biological one. Adults who should know better are encouraging them to do irrevocable harm to their bodies. I don't care where you fall on trans rights, that's going to be looked upon as a terrible tragedy down the road that we allowed this to happen.
> Based off my rules excessive code comments are a code smell needing to be checked out

I don't know that I fall into the "excessive" category, but I do tend to comment method bodies fairly heavily.

Basically my strategy is: Add comments in the places someone is going to ask a question about in review.

If you answer all their questions ahead of time, then you save them time, and you also save yourself time next time there is a bug or refinement in that code.

I generally keep things fairly high level though.

Some people advocate for breaking anything longer than X lines out into its own method.

What I tend to do instead of wrap blocks of code like (Python):

#{ <section descriptor>
...
...
#}

That way it's easy to follow the flow of things even if they get a little long.
This is a straw man argument. There's a big difference between simply vetting your guests to weed out quacks, and pushing some single-minded idea of orthodoxy.
Working on a fine-tuning add-on currently :) The one I'm working with is called PPLM by Uber eng, and it takes a "bag of words" to keep generated text on topic. It's not exactly what you're asking for (style transfer), but you'd be able to load it with your common email phrases, and the postprocessing will bias similar phrases, keeping it somewhat stylistically consistent.
China threatens to 'wipe out' Taiwan president with war
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.

And I'm surprised and delighted!
Yes. I think its 3 fundamental objectives:

-I want people who use my product to be happy with it.

-If they are not, I dont want them bad mouth me.

-When someone is unhappy, that an excellent opportunity for me to learn, so I want to incentivize my customer to engage with me in a productive and not antagonistic way.
I’m going to save this comment for many years down the line. I don’t agree with your sentiment (having also used VIM and Rider, but happy right now with VSCode), so it’s a sort of personal check-in I can have with my thoughts sometime near 2030.
I was more surprised because I assume they’ve faced their own fair share of discrimination from Americans
In my experience, that's rarely a good idea. No documentation means no ability to do regular monitoring or tie records together over years, irrespective of funding. Simply put, not ideal. The way it's handled in the US is to simply require auth on the site databases.

Rogan is an individualist. By this I mean he supports telling people to take control of their own lives, better themselves, hear different ideas and make their own opinions. Enjoying combat sports such as Boxing, MMA, and Football means you approve of people making their own conscious decision to potentially scramble their brain. I also enjoy these sports, and if someone wants to scramble their brain playing football or getting their skull bashed in by a fist, that’s their decision and they can accept my entertainment dollar.

The concept of individualism is anathema to many on the left. In general, they want everyone to see themselves as part of a collective, blame society (or just “someone else”) when they have a problem, and expect the government to provide with sustenance cradle to grave. I’m not saying this is necessarily bad - but someone with this belief system will not approve of someone whose an individualist that advocates for personal responsibility, relying on one’s own skills, and not expecting society to put a band aid on every boo boo one receives.

There is also a belief in “toxic masculinity” which is hard to define, but beating the shit out of someone else in a ring probably triggers some people to see toxicity. However a lot of males need this sort of outlet for aggression, and by saying “males” need something specific it probably also triggers a lot of people who reject concepts of inherent male and female traits and major differences between the genders in preferences based on sex alone.
That site is still static. Static doesn't mean there's no dynamic content but rather that no new files are sent from the server, including new JS files. If you ship the entire JS framework on page load, then the page is still static.
Vehicle range is also somewhere around 520 miles. That’s insane for an EV.
What were your favorite parts of it?
Obviously some things will come and go when things become mainstream. That's natural. But reddit going mainstream is probably why it became the way it is now. Suddenly, reddit had a lot of influence, so people started paying more attention to what went on there and tried to change it.
Huh found out my NAS has had an exposed public port probably since I bought it. Time to check my login records I guess.
I'm not sure declining to invite Alex Jones onto one's platform would qualify as forcing one's definition of "the one true way" on others. That's kind of an over-deep reading of that person's character.

Article highlight some great points. But I think Feature flags bring value where we dont need to rollback code if its failing. Also failure so not so straight forward in most of cases where we enable a feature and it fails. Sometimes it degrades performance over time, sometime you want to enable it slow to understand its semantic under production traffic, sometimes we want to enable something around some launch date etc.

For sure, it brings extra complexity in code because of left over flags which are not cleaned up. Not only complexity which is added while writing flag but later new code also added for all these condition to unsure compatibility. Cleanup should be managed like tech debt but its not unfortunately.
The character you are thinking of is named Elaine.
I agree and not saying they would get to it, but considering that was pre-COVID, I would imagine/hope they might reprioritize.
Working on a feature that allows you to define your common phrases, and it'd bias the output toward that. See my response to knicholas in this thread. It's not a perfect fix but would work.

Other APIs I launch in the future should help. BERT comes to mind. You could generate multiple options using GPT2, then have BERT assess if they're in your style.

Wow. I guess there is some good news in 2020, after all!

I wrote a monthly column for LJ for 20 years (!), and loved it, both as an author and as a reader. (I also loved hearing from people around the world who read it. Many of the subscribers to my "Better developers" weekly newsletter about Python tell me that they used to read my columns.)

Linux Journal died twice in the last few years, and when it closed in the summer of 2019, we were sure that this was the end.

Then I got e-mail from someone a few weeks ago, asking if I knew anything about Slashdot buying LJ. I had no idea, and asked a few other LJ alumni on Twitter what they knew, which was nothing. The info was on Slashdot's site, but there weren't any other details other than the mention of a purchase.

Let's hope that it works out this time around. I wish the best of success to Slashdot, the new Linux Journal, and the readership.
