If I were to guess, how one might get into that habit is being annoyed by error messages:

"cannot remove 'foo': is a directory"

Just remove the darned object you're given as an argument using the appropriate implementation for its type.

"rm: remove write-protected regular file 'foo'?"

The rules are that if the directory is writable, the object can be deleted. Though you called stat to figure out it's a regular file, you didn't notice the link count: I have two more hard links to the file in the same directory, and one elsewhere. But, yes, unlink it.

Good points. We just don't have that vacuum to test as gov's differ.

Market forces improve conditions. Motivations are realigned to the incentive of the parent's satisfaction with their kid's education. Service improves when you have competition.
The source material doesn't lie to you, though. The black and white you see is the true brightness of the scene, without any fake colours dreamed up by a neural network. Your mind is free to fill in the details itself without having someone else's guess at them imposed on it.

It is like the difference between a film adaptation of a text and the original text. If you see the film first, it will permanently colour your reading of the text, taking away from you the opportunity to draw your own meanings from a blank slate.

I've picked PHP as my first language instead of Python when I was a kid, because in Python I saw things like `something[3:5]`. In PHP I could see `array_slice` and I knew what it would do without any prior programming experience.

Some time later I did learn Python and I really love it.
If you want to import N UTXOs into a Trezor you can generate N fresh addresses and use N independent transactions to move the money over. Then you have to be careful about joining those UTXOs later. I'm not aware of any wallet that allows this, but it's theoretically possible. I think the advantages of the BIP32 model are worth it considering how many people lost private keys in the old wallet.dat model.
I have exactly this frustration with math. The notation was confusing at nearly every level of my education perhaps starting with operator precedence in arithmetic and escalating exponentially in college with more advanced forms of math. I remember nearly flunking calculus (saved by a merciful curve) with no concrete understanding, only to find in my later engineering curves that calculus was downright easy and intuitive to me, but the notation (and perhaps the pedagogy) were inhibiting.

To this day, when I'm reading computer science papers, I have to look really hard to make sense of the math gibbrish and get at the actual meaning, and often when I do I realize that it would have been much clearer in a few lines of JavaScript or Python or Go or Rust or just about anything else.

Well, perhaps anything except Haskell, OCaml, and similar. Even after learning the syntax, I still haven't internalized it as effortlessly as I did with other languages. Note that lisp is not very algol-like and I have a much easier time parsing it than I do Haskell despite relatively equal familiarity. I think Haskell has given us a lot of great ideas, and thankfully they've filtered down from the Ivory Tower of academic languages into pragmatic mainstream languages, such as Rust.
Note that I use wholemean flours, a combination thereof, which definitely helps the taste. Also, I tried the papa di pomodoro recipe in the link above and it's actually quite delicious and very easy to make.
> I understand leftist thought to be rooted in questioning hierarchy and power structures, which I believe leads to more readily seeking solidarity with those that are not as well off as they are.

Yes. A political orientation is about - to put it bluntly - which parts of reality you focus on and which parts of reality you ignore. So, suppose we have a group of people who are e.g. simultaneously victims of racism and of high crime in their neighborhood. A left-wing person would be happy to help them fight racism, but would feel uncomfortable hearing about crime perpertated by members of the same minority against their neighbors. A right-wing person would be happy to help them fight crime, but would feel uncomfortable discussing structural racism.

Sometimes the existing structures are oppressive and should be torn down. Sometimes they are necessary for survival. Quite often, they are both at the same time.
My understanding (and to be clear, this is hearsay, I did not seek to independently verify it) is that they will sell viewing information to a channel provider. (so Amazon could find out how often you opened up Netflix vs Amazon Prime Video, or you started on Amazon, closed it, and then opened up Netflix, etc).

Encapsulation is not equivalent to OOP. If it is, then why do we have two separate terms for the same thing?
You can't really blame them, though. The vast, vast majority of users will be absolutely fine with 2 lanes, especially with DP 1.3+. USB C is mainly used on laptops, and your office projector just isn't going to support 8K120 with HDR. Why spent the extra money if virtually nobody needs it?
We seem to talk about different things, not understanding what each other is trying to say. Let me wind back to my initial question, and freely associate from there:

Yes, Yes! I do understand efficiencies of scale.
I asked you because you said there are no ready made burgers, which are deep frozen, able to being warmed up again at the time of use by whatever means.

I questioned if that matters because there already refrigerated(although not deep frozen) burgers available in the supermarkets, so not a really long shelf life(I think about a week, have to recheck that next time in store), but who cares if the supply chain delivers?

I further question that this isn't fully automatable because almost fully robotic deep frozen pizza production does exist at scale in factories already in operation for a long time, to be pipelined into the fridges of supermarkets. Or the documentaries showing them in operation from the inside are fake news, but what do I know?

I don't see why that shouldn't be possible with burgers.

Btw. there is no need to flip anything in McD for the classics as I recall, with the exception of that McRib thing
and something fishy. At least that was the case when I've been crew-trainer for about a year somewhere around 1988/1989. At that time we got the clamshell grills/BBQs which made flipping obsolete. Similar for the buns, 12 small or 6 large on a plate, to be put into some horizontal slot, toast, done.

Why McD doesn't produce deepfrozen stuff for supermarkets is their decision, not necessarily a technical one. Maybe they fear law-suits from their franchisees? Maybe it makes more economic sense for them to offer the "experience" and full menu all the time? Maybe they don't want to compete pricewise with alternative choices right next to them in the fridge? A (non-smart) fridge in the supermarket doesn't ask "Do you want fries with that?" (for now)

So that was that. Almost. Last mile...

Yes? As in deep frozen pizza from the supermarket/grocer.
Be it by shopping in person, online, via phone, app, who cares?

You said NO!

I said BOO! :)

Are we clear now?
Yes, when I changed contract. The new team is using Azure.

Okay, that was not the answer you were looking for, I will see myself out.

> They were added because they make programming better. C++20 is more fun to program in than 17, which was better than 14, which was better than 11.

Not specific to C++, but I'm definitely loving the addition of coroutines to the language. It makes multi-tasking a lot more clean especially for something like userspace networking.
I think I enjoy these sorts of stories like one might enjoy horoscopes: fun to think about.

> Traditional quantum mechanics says that a physical system doesn’t have definite properties until it’s observed — an act known as collapsing a wave function. For example, in Erwin Schrödinger’s classic thought experiment, a cat in a box is both dead and alive — known as superposition — until observed as one or the other. So an observation, or consciousness itself, causes the wave to collapse. OR proposes the opposite: The collapse gives rise to consciousness. (Credit: Alison Mackey/Discover)
The branch is now called "main" because the previous name "master" was found to be problematic due to historical racism / colonialism. And so it remains historical racism / colonialism the cause for the name of the default branch for newly-created repositories on Github.
Too obtuse, sorry.
US prisons are heavy on the punishment aspect of imprisonment relative to the system where I am, NZ.

If you emphasis punishment rather than rehabilitation, you are setting the scene for discrimination post release. It’s a sort of chicken and egg situation.

I appreciate the irony in claiming this in a thread on someone’s hard earned achievement post release.

On the other hand, unless there was a 4K full color film those millions of people wouldn't even watch the original.

So typeclasses in Haskell are OOP as well? Sounds like a pretty meaningless definition.
Once I'm ready I'm planning on throwing it up on github for sure. I'll make a note to send you an email with it :)
RAII also follows value scope instead of lexical scope. So if you have a function that creates a value and returns it, the cleanup-via-destructor runs in the scope of the callee, as it should.

This doesn't work with lexical-scope-cleanup things like golang's defer (and bugs me when new languages add it instead of destructors). Instead you either have to document that the caller has to remember to defer-cleanup the result, or you have to do funky things like take a callback that receives the value, invoke the callback and defer-cleanup the value.
"For example, when freely choosing between the two options, people learned more quickly from the symbols associated with greater reward than those associated with punishment, which removed points. Though that finding resembled a positivity bias, this interpretation was ruled out by trials that demonstrated participants could also learn from negative outcomes."

So, a positivity bias implies that one cannot learn from negative outcomes?

"But there was more to it. The experiments also included “forced choice” trials in which the computer told participants which option to select. Here, though the subjects still pressed keys to make the instructed choices, confirmation bias disappeared, with both positive and negative outcomes weighted equally during learning."

Yes, confirmation bias disappears when it's not your decision that is being confirmed.

It's not that the source material is accurate, it's that our knowledge is based on the source material, so the limits of the source material make clear the limits of our knowledge.

It's kind of like the concept of "significant digits" in science. If your experimental apparatus can only measure a value with precision plus or minus one tenth, it's inappropriate to report your results with digits out the thousandths. Doing so would make it seem more precise to the reader, but the additional precision is an illusion.

In much the same way, using software in 2020 to guess what things "really looked like" can give viewers a false impression of how much we actually know about what things really looked like.
I don't have noncompetes, and all three jobs deal with software development but in completely different industries. Ethically I wouldn't work for two competing companies.

I agree there are tech jobs that are way more demanding, its true that I may have found good situations. I think theres also some truth to the fact that if you put your phone on do not disturb, and just concentrate on your work you can get a lot done. It also helps that although Im not a particularly talented developer, I do have almost 2 decades of experience so typically its just coding and not much research.

This can be tedious to be honest, but at this point in my life I have a family to take care of, Im prioritizing being a good provider over technical challenges that fulfill me.

I'm on pace to pay off my 20 year mortgage in 3 years. Once I'm debt free I may consider working less and doing something else with my time.
We have that kind of convertible car seat. Never had a problem with latches or straps (well, other than yesterday, when I had to take it out to fold down the seats & transport a piece of furniture). The car seat stays in the car, the kid plops down in the car seat, and then he either fights us over the 5-point harness or buckles it himself, depending on mood.

I think the big difference in perspective is whether you just leave the car seat in the car or take it out for every trip. I had a similar discussion on Facebook where I was like "Why does it matter how heavy the car seat is? It just stays in the car?" and then found out that a lot of people detach the carseats and lug them up to the house and back down every time they take a trip.

There's an element of privilege in being able to afford a complete set of car seats for each car you drive, but it totals about $300/kid (less for infants - many infant seats have a clickable base that's ~$100). If you can afford it I would highly recommend it - paying $300 to avoid daily skinned knuckles & schlepping 20-30 lbs. around is often well worth it.
Seconded.

Speaking for myself, I understand that no harm was meant; and that those my age grew up in a world in which such humor was not commonly judged offensive.

This world has moved on fortunately. Please do not perpetuate this culture on HN.
>the comment sounded like the emphasis was on stereotypes of the culture

To be honest, that is also pretty weird, wandering into "wrong"-territory. At least if you are prescribing negative stereotypes to a culture.
the problem with the newer parts is that they make people think less when they write code. it's easier to be sloppy and not understand the performance implications.

I'm confused. Does this mean objects in the empty ecliptic were originally on the ecliptic?
It is an interesting idea that the galactic tide pulls things into this odd ecliptic. Now factor in the solar system is oscillating above and below the galactic ecliptic and tell me when the next rain of asteroids is about to start :-)

I worked at the Library of Congress on their Digital Preservation Project digitizing and archiving their collections.

When an archivist analyzes a piece of media, everything ends up being important. For something like an album, you don't just have the audio but the physical media itself, the sleeve, the notes, and the settings of every piece of equipment used in capturing each of those things. Imagine for example, you realize the Photoshop filters were off/wrong in some way?

When you modify the media and treat it as definitive in some way, you're introducing your own analysis (good or bad), just like a Photoshop filter. Even if you're 100% "correct" in the result, it's no longer the same and the next person is applying their analysis on top of yours. It's effectively a game of telephone.

It's not a matter of "most accurate" representation of a moment in time but an "unmodified" representation of a moment in time.

The difference between that and editing books, movies, music, etc applying current norms and expectations becomes semantic.

Looking to break into web development. Currently working on mastering Django and learning some React for the frontend.
Americans have been completely conditioned into accepting all sorts of trouble while maintaining the idea of freedom in contradiction to that.
Well, initialization lists have added quite a bit of complexity to that problem. So have move semantics, to a lesser degree.
That's what I was thinking about, client side. Probably the Elixir compiler could detect it and generate the code to bridge the gap. It feels OO-ish but we're dealing with mutable state anyway. I prefer "easy" than "pure".
Awareness program and an annual refresher aimed at H&M middle management level imminent. That's a lot cheaper than these fines would be.
