It's the 5th-gen watch, it has never lasted two days (including sleep with the display turned off) even when I don't use it for navigation or workout tracking. It also charges much more slowly than the 3rd-gen that I had before.

That's just assembling large prefabs, though, which I explicitly excluded from my "zero experience" observation.
This is where policing in America has been headed for at least a decade now. Everything is so polarized that people who would normally be opposed to this view those being tracked as their enemies, and thus fair targets. (For example, I'd imagine that right wing or libertarian types would normally consider surveillance to be a real bad thing. But if it gets deployed against George Floyd protestors... Ehhh... nbd)

When you hear politicians talking about being "tough on crime" or "law and order", this is exactly the program they are pushing for.
A lot of the prelim work is probably already being done with their docker optimizations.
I agree with the "blessing and curse" characterization. I owe my career to thousands of hours spent hyperfocused on learning programming languages for fun while I was supposed to be doing homework. On the other hand, I've come close to losing my job because of difficulty carrying out assigned tasks that don't matter to me.

Interesting contrast though: for me leetcode, certain exams, and interviews often trigger hyperfocus. Studying and assignments, as well as day-to-day work, rarely do. I take a fair bit of medication so I can do my job. I'm trying to pivot towards something which more naturally engages my interest, maybe SRE or security work.

Interesting how we're all affected differently. I recommend skimming "delivered from distraction" if you haven't already, there are some good tips in there on how ADHD folks can deliberately create the right conditions for flow.
OK, but in a "real" asset there is a limited supply of the thing being bought. You cannot buy an infinite amount of (e.g) houses, or corn, or pork bellies, because there isn't an infinite amount to sell. But I agree that you can invest an infinite amount of money in these things because as you buy up more, the price increases.

Derivatives remove the supply limits. Because, as you say, essentially derivatives are all about making bets rather than actually buying anything. If you want to bet a bajillion dollars in a derivative, the only thing limiting you is how many people want to bet against you. I get that this is similar to conventional supply/demand, but it's not the same.

The reason it's not the same is because there's no link to the actual production (aka what TFA is talking about) of the thing. You can make a bet that pork belly prices will go up or down regardless of how many actual pork bellies are being made. So capital flows get detached from actual production, which is where we came in.

And yes, I get that buying a stock is "making a bet" that the stock or share is going to increase in price. But that's only if you're speculating on the price. There are people (or at least there used to be) who buy a stock because they want the dividend. Or, perish the though, because they actually want the pork belly to make bacon with.
Too much of this is religion dressed up. People paying for miraculous salvation. Martin Luther would have something to say here.
I am really surprised to read this article on acm. I have nothing against the author. From a technically stand point, I am genuinely disappointed in acm for publishing it. I'm pretty sure, of getting downvotes for these. But heres my critique.

1. Fast enough means different things in different context. If you're building HFT (high frequency trading) system 200ms is eternity. At the same time, for a simple crud application its good enough. Context is everthing!

2. As much as I love Go, its not really a good benchmark as the article suggests. The equivalent C program (without concurrency), will blow those numbers out of the water. This basically tells me, the higher level languages like GO, have skewed perceptions of what is considered fast.

The article completely misses one of the most important points. You have to measure/instrument the code before one decides to "optimize" things. Without instrumentation, its really hard to know where the program is spending most of its time. Once you have that data, then focus on optimizing the slowest parts.

I think a lot of people get it mixed up with Objective-C (which is a derivative of sorts of Smalltalk).

And C++ derives much from Simula which comes from Algol. And C derives much from Algol. And link between C and C++ is kinda obvious!
They did try to do something like that, where Netflix counted against your bandwidth cap but Comcast's own IPTV service did not. Maybe it was AT&T? I do recall it being a thing.
When sacrifices have to be made, aesthetics probably is going to be one of the first things to go. But in this case we're talking about a technology that is an improvement over diesel while still maintaining the aesthetic and safety of the countryside. Just because you consider it a lower priority doesn't mean it shouldn't factor into the equation at all.
Ok, have some aigus.
> In China, you will be using Chinese government approved services.

First of all, this is only about app stores. When it comes to “services” in general, people in China already do mostly use government approved ones; the Great Firewall makes sure of that.

Today, you use Apple’s App Store, but Apple blocks whatever apps the Chinese government tells them to. Is that really such a great situation? Under a sideloading model, at least you’d have the technical ability to opt out of whatever app store anyone told you to use.

As for legal ability, who knows, but any legal restrictions on where you can get apps from would be hard to enforce. And why would phones be any different from desktops, where such restrictions don’t currently exist?
From its creator's own words:

https://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#from-Smalltalk

> C++ got its Object-Oriented concepts from Smalltalk?

> No. C++ got the key notions of classes, derived classes, virtual functions (in other words, the notions of encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism) from Simula just like Smalltalk did. In terms of family relationships, C++ and Smalltalk are siblings.
>Open source is different, it’s an artifact, it’s a transposition in code of what you really want to do, of what you feel software should be, or just of all your fun and joy, or even anger you are feeling while coding. And you want it to rock, to be perfect, and you can’t sleep at night if there is a fucking heisenbug.

Not necessarily. For paid contributors (often among the most important ones in "open source" projects with corporate involvement) it can be just another job. And for casual open source creators, it can be just a small hobby, not some obsession with it being perfect. Heck, a big number of open source codebases are left to rot as soon as the dev moves to something more shiny...

So when he says "if a user of your software is addressing you because some part of your code sucks, and is willing to work with you to do something about it, and is very demanding, don’t think they are abusing you because they are not paying you. It’s not about money. You can ignore bugs if you want, and ignore their complains, you can do that since you don’t have a contract to do otherwise, but they are helping you, they care about the same thing you care: your software quality, grandiosity, perfection." that might be true for Redis, or Sqlite etc, but not for all FOSS projects, including many otherwise succesful ones...
It’s a good piece.

It’s also worth noting that TikTok is based on AI recommendation, like Facebook and YouTube.

It’s in many ways a special case (as they also are) of a particularly pathological kind of Internet that is only really represented by a few companies.
Pettis thinks tariffs imposed by America are a finger in the dike at best and highly distortionary at worst. Pettis's basic thesis is that there is a global savings glut driven by wealth inequality (Rich people save and invest; poor people spend andconsume). The USD is the global reserve currency because America is the safest investment in the world; and America is the safest investment in the world because the USD is the global reserve currency. An excess of savings from China and Germany ends up flooding into America, whatever the latest news on negative interest rates. Capital flows are not determined by the search for highest return as in econ textbooks but by searching for security and often by attempting to build currency reserves. America's trade deficit is driven by capital inflows (mainly European and Chinese savings), unlike the typically assumed situation where capital flows respond to trade.

Thus, tariffs=attacking the symptoms not the disease. The goal of a tariff is to force up domestic savings by raising import prices. Domestic savings in America are being crowded out by capital inflows, so the result would just be increased debt or unemployment.
This makes a ton of sense to me. When I was a kid, just about everyone (including my parents) knew I had ADD/ADHD, but never did anything about it. Including myself. It wasn't until I lost a job because I was so easily distractable that I realized how much of a hold it had on my life. Medication helps, but really only on making it easier to pry myself from distractions.

But this study clarifies so much of my behaviour and self-image from when I was a kid to now. I bully myself fiercely, and never understood why I should be praised for high grades, when it was something expected of me. That definitely extends to now, where I can finish/deliver a product, but feel _nothing_ about it. No sense of accomplishment, no relief that something's shipped. Nothing. It stops me from taking on hobbies or really doing anything with the material that I learn. Leads to regular burnout and cycles of depression.

The article references methylphenidate as a good drug for ADHD, specifically for motivation. This makes me sad, because I'm on it, and not feeling very motivated.
Paying up doesn't save anything, they still have the data and can release it anyway.

It makes sense for violent crimes such as assault and robbery, and crimes that can easily turn violent, such as burglary and theft, to be punished more harshly than nonviolent crimes.

That being said, locking up perpetrators of victimless crimes, like drug dealers, drug users, and prostitutes is a travesty.
I’m not sure the world needs another sexpr/sgml isomorphism, though it does look pleasing to the eye for the given examples. What this doesn’t solve though: yaml+jinja use cases, code as text, schemas outside of the document, everything else that makes a language out of a syntax tree.
As far as I know, all of it. NYC never sent anything to China in the first place. It's all recycled locally by Sims, as it has been long before anything China did in the past few years:

React does detect and warn you about mismatches in dev mode. It can be tricky to track down if it only happens in prod, though (due to different data – like start/end times for content coming from a CMS).

React could do better in both dev and prod though, IMO. It doesn't tell you where/which component had the issue, just the type of DOM node with a mismatch.

> set of programming tasks

You set off in the right direction but unfortunately haven't engaged with the heart of the matter at all.

That there is no easily measurable "set of programming tasks" in common between even highly proficient developers of different types is the point. The core comms failure here is that "software engineer" is too broad a term. We're actually discussing superficially similar but essentially different professions that aren't yet acknowledged as such.

The submitted title was "Astronomers Want to Build a SETI Observatory on the Moon" which came from the submitted URL (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-astronomer...). I think you're reading it with the wrong quantifier: to me the claim is not "[all] astronomers want [etc.]" but "[some] astronomers want [etc.]", which is perfectly reasonable.

But it's fine to change a title when it's landing the wrong way with some readers, and it seemed like there was a better link in this case, so a mod changed both the URL and title.
I doubt anyone who is deliberate about the content they consume needs this advice.

New media is popular because of its novelty factor, hype pre-release, the social aspects of discussing whats popular, and the convenience of having a choice be top of mind. I doubt many people only watch whats new or think that new is better. There are many facets of life and few people are interested in making deliberate and contrarian choices in all of them.
The thing is, a developer also has a concept of his project. He doesn't necessarily want it to be all things to all people, and support all of A, B, and C together. He might even consider A+B distateful and avoid coding it for that alone...
Interesting they still have wheels at the base of the legs. Seems like wheels are just too efficient. (to get mechs)

While I totally agree with the argument that everyone should think sonetimes a bit more about the impact of his code (or the execution of it) the relationship between your mentioned SO article and the gist ist close to zero.

> just that the "strong-set-user/package=safe" guarantee doesn't have an underlying basis as of yet.

Author here —- I agree. There can be no guarantees about the safety of a package based only on its maintainer(s); their accounts could be taken over, or they could be paid off, and so on. I’m hopeful about initiatives like Deno that provide better security controls built-in to the language.

A significant hurdle to overcome is getting npm (and all open-source) developers to think about trust in the first place. The event-stream incident happened when the previous maintainer handed over control to a random stranger that showed up. We’ve seen similar things happen in other attacks. The thought at this point is that by making trust more explicit, we might start a move in the right direction.
Trying to solve the halting problem are we. Remember that one of the most dangerous JavaScript APIs turned out to be a sub-millisecond monotonically increasing time source.
It's a complicated issue for a few reasons...

Most of it doesn't burn every year, but many places that have been logged and now have no trees will have issues with invasive species that grow quickly and explode into flame.

Those invasive species will be displaced when larger tress grow over them, but in the meantime will be a substantial fire risk.

Having both the invasive species and high fuel loads under large trees leads to megafires.

At the end of the day things are going to burn. The question is can we build better to lessen some parts of the human impact, such as houses not burning to the ground. We may not be able to do anything about the air quality at all.
It's not a bad idea, as text file formats are all strings anyway, to let the application do the conversion. It's the one with the domain knowledge anyway. Perhaps it could do with a companion library to specify the data format and emit parse errors as appropriate. But to keep that out of the syntax makes a lot more sense than the insanity that is yaml.
This incredibly disturbing. I grew up with family members telling me horror stories about state abuse like this, from more than 30 years past in a country that doesn't exist anymore: The German Democratic Republic. If this isn't classic Stasi Zersetzungstaktik, I don't know what it is. Aren't there any laws against abuse like this? How the hell is this legal?

Very, very cool work, I fully expect to use this exact project in the future!

To those of you who always thought this stuff looked neat but never tried it out, and to those who may have used blender in the past and gave up, I would HIGHLY encourage you to try again with the latest version of the software. Although there is still a bit of a learning curve, there have been massive improvements have to the software suite.

The ability to code audio/visual in blender is just incredible. I describe it like this: Imagine yourself as someone trying to code an image that looks like a tree in machine code. Then imagine your partner comes over, sees what you are working on, and hands you Python and a fully setup IDE, it's like being given literal magic.

I downloaded the latest version earlier this year to write some basic AI simulations (cube wars!) and to create models for my 3D-printer. Like when I first learned to code, the fun of the machine totally sucked me and I got completely off-task from my original goal. Lately I've been working on two things with the same lines of code, music videos and simulated walks through forests(Think the movie Avatar). With only a few hundred lines of code I am able to generate infinite forest trails in which you can walk (or fly a drone-style camera) through, synced to music that is generated by the AI-mushrooms WITHIN in the scene itself! Literally was able to go from 0 to highly visually engaging trippy music videos in the last year with minimial musical production experience and with no music-video production background. The ease in which you are able to generate things via code is stunning and the limits feel completely boundless.
You may be smart and wise and know how to avoid dodgy apps, but can you trust everyone you want to have a private chat online with to not unwittingly install a screen recorder? And differently from PCs, can you trust everyone you chat with in real life to not unwittingly install an app that turns on the microphone and/or camera?

Don’t get me wrong — I want there to be 3rd party app stores, even if only because of the sexual Puritanism that Apple displays. That don’t mean there aren’t valid reasons to be extremely skepticism about any attempts to do so.
This is useful. And yes, I probably have an inadequate understanding of the derivatives market (hence going out on a limb).

Where I think the problem is, is the disconnect between actual supply/demand of the thing and the gambling about whether the price is going to go up or down. For example, as you say, most option contracts expire unexercised. In the context of TFA, where we're talking about where investment money can go, buying an options contract with no intention of ever actually exercising the option is effectively a complete waste of investment opportunity (compared with, say, building infrastructure in Africa).

My point of view is that the derivatives markets in developed economies allows such pointless investments (aka gambling). If there wasn't a derivatives market, this money would be forced to go find something else to invest in. That might be government bonds as you say. Or it might be African infrastructure.
Or they pull a walmart, where they have the brand name product for a lower price than everyone else. Then one day they introduce their house brand product at that price and raise the brand name product's price. Then the brand name's product becomes more expensive than it would be at other stores.
I would have thought that at least half of your opinions were unexpected:

Go's design is at the very least controversial and considered poor by a vocal subset of the hackernews and programming community.

Python is decidedly not dying... it's still the dominating game in town for ML and data science. I'm surprised anybody would posit that Python were dying. Perl definitely feels like it should be in Ruby's camp.

The carbon released by wildfires was previously captures by trees as they grew, right?

So if a wooded area burns and then grows back again it is carbon-neutral.
> For example, in JSON 32 is an integer, 32.0 is the real version of 32, and “32” is the string version. These distinctions are not meaningful and can be confusing to non-programmers.

I'm really struggling with this assertion; IMHO one of the problems with JSON is the lack of more sophisticated scalar types.

That being said, this appears extremely readable, so my concerns could definitely be alleviated by a decent schema.
Often enough.

With this said, if the prescribed burn goes out of control, when they tend to be burnt in the best of conditions.

True elitism is assuming your subjective preference is objectively better than other people's subjective preference.
