It's definitely something that I notice with instant messages. Periods are used between sentences in a multi-sentence message, but if you put them at the end, you might seem upset -- especially if the sentence is short.

This is probably because:

- IMs are already formatted to show the end of each message (chat bubble, etc), so a period communicates extra 'finality' beyond what is necessary;

- Sentence fragments are normal and expected, but seem weird with a period at the end;

- Using formality in an informal setting can create a sense of emotional distance;

- IM cues like these are likely established and spread by people who have mostly used IM in non-professional settings, with friends and significant others, and those norms are then brought with them when interpreting the IMs they receive in a professional setting. If you never communicated with your significant other via text message, you've probably never needed to express as many subtle emotional signals into your texts, and so just treat them like emails. But if you have, then you eventually pick up how powerful punctuation can be at communicating emotion in that medium.

Eg.

> I'll be home late tonight

>> Okay

VS:

> I'll be home late tonight

>> Okay.
You can easily import cert's into OS stores. I've actually rarely seen Firefox as a first option, more likely as a secondary option.

You're likely going to need to manipulate the OS store regardless, so Firefox is just extra work.
I think that more documentation needs to give context about design decisions/principles and why they were made. And hopefully the software is sticking to some principles. If you can learn a small number of orthogonal principles, you can predict the behavior of the software without consulting the documentation, ideally

I work with commodity LAMP-style hosting mostly, so I'm not familiar with this sort of framework. How involved is setting up and running a Haskell web server? Is it a fully bespoke thing that needs to be figured out, or is it just like an image you install? Is this stuff generally hosted on standard clouds (e.g. AWS)? IMO the server setup seems to be the biggest issue with these sorts of boutique web frameworks, but I'd love to learn more if I'm incorrect.

> Stone + Parker may be assholes, but they are insightful assholes

"Insightful" about how people respond to messages in the same sense that a successful demagogue is, except that they are playing on "easy mode" where they don't have to produce results of their own to be judged by -- or even, in classic demagogic fashion, to distract from by attacking some other target -- sure, they are definitely that kind of insightful.

Insightful beyond that...well, none of the evidence you point to is explained any better by adding that additional assumption.

They don't hold peoples noses to the shit left behind, they are just masters of the clever juxtaposition of the cheap, easy, shallow (mostly recycled, but for the juxtapositions) attacks.

They are also good at crafting amusing stories, and welding the shallow attacks into the stories as a delivery vehicle. So I'm not saying that they aren't talented, just that the talent has nothing to do with any substantive insight regarding the substance of their targets. Actually, I think they'd be a lot less successful at what they do if they didn't have an absolute and total lack of interest in substance, which would be a distraction from the cheap, easy bomb-throwing.

EDIT: Rereading that, it sounds more hostile than I would like. I mean, South Park is great entertainment, there's certainly value to periodic, momentary escape into the kind of cheerful,shallow nihilism it wallows in. My wife and I had Stan and Wendy figurines on our wedding cake. I'm not anti-Stone/Parker, just against the idea that their work is insightful social commentary. Not only is it not, and not only is that central to its success, but, to the extent it is (personally, to me, and arguably socially) valuable, that's also central to its value. Its not intellectually stimulating, enlightening, or insightful, its an escape from being intellectually "on" at all.
Even if the policy data is absent from UI for legitimate reasons, if the policy can't be programmatically extracted, the documentation can't be trusted.

That is, the policy should be a declarative object interpreted by a well-tested engine, or a small simple bit of logic, not a crawl through the engine code looking for 'if' statements.

I can write secure apps even with this option disabled, thank you. Really it's no harder than preventing SQL injection. All I do is that I don't use APIs that can lead to interpreting data as code.

So I assign to textContent liberally, don't manipulate URLs as text, but via browser APIs, and avoid everything that allows code execution. It's really stupid simple to follow safe practices for absolute majority of apps.

And this makes writing a electron app with direct access to local PostgreSQL database trivial, fun, and makes writing useful apps without a separate HTTP backend a breeze.

I don't have a need to split privileged code out to separate process, and go back to acting like there's trusted/untrusted split, just like with regular website. Having to do that would kill all the allure of Electron, for me. I use electron precisely because I don't have to do this, and can depend on the HTML/JS code to be trusted.

The article is all about fearmongering and how it can be used to destroy reasoned discussion. Gore argues for television's more direct connection to the limbic system and how useful that is for fearmongering.

This is exactly the goal state sponsored disinformation campaigns. To flood the marketplace of ideas with so much "fake news" that no one believes anything anymore. When that happens, people feel free to believe in what is convenient or aligns with their personal world view.

The reality is that not all news sources are equally bad or biased. Some do a better job of fact checking than others.
Also I recommend just giving it a chance. To be honest, I disilked his first podcasts. I turned them off even though they had guests I really liked (Guido van Rossum, etc.)

But now I watch his podcast all the time, and I've gotten a lot out of it.

I agree with others in that he doesn't try to make himself the focus of the conversation, and that's a good quality in an interviewer.

He makes his subjects comfortable enough to talk freely, to say things I haven't heard elsewhere over 1-2 hours, and that is an incredible and valuable skill.
That's a little unfair, some of the comments there are thoughtful praise, just like this discussion.
I looked at purchasing a home in another cheaper locale and also came to this observation. This area has regular floods. New neighborhoods had flood problems. Old neighborhoods did not. The areas without flood problems, and close enough the to main job corridors, were priced high enough to defeat the benefits of moving for the sake of a lower cost of living.

That's what I was thinking ... to get funding. It shows you have "something" and it also shows that you are the "owner" of the idea.

I did one preliminary software patent application and I also found that it greatly helped me focus and "crystallize" what is the big idea here.

It's kind of like writing documentation but focusing on the core ideas. A patent should not only disclose the technical details of how it works but also explain why it is useful, why it is better than existing approaches.

That is a good way to evaluate the worthiness of the project. Why this, over software that already exist. A project is often useful even if it is not patentable. But writing or even thinking about writing a preliminary patent-application helps put it in context.

Also see, very significantly, Elaine Ingham, soil (biology) scientist, Ph.D., also founder of startup soilfoodweb.com (to consult and get her research
applied widely).

Almost all the farmers I mentioned above, quote her work with respect and apply it in their operations, and consider it key to their results. She (along with many other researchers, over years, not a sudden thing) has come out with some rather startling results that, as I said, are being applied by these guys and many others. A key result is that it is the quantity and diversity of the life in the soil that is as (or more) important to soil health and hence farm results (now and long term) as the actual levels of plant nutrients in the soil. And this is because it is the soil life (they use the term "biology" for it, but okay, go with the prevailing term the experts use) that makes the chemical nutrients available in forms that plants can actually use, via a deep symbiosis and mutual helping that happens between plants and the soil biology, which includes bacteria, fungi, archaea, nematodes, arthropods and small animals.

Another quite surprising / non-intuitive result is her saying that most or all soils on earth, already have many times more the amounts of nutrients than plants need, like 1000x more, including macro (e.g. N, P, K) and micro ones (like trace elements), so the limiting factor is really the soil biology, which depends a lot on soil organic matter content (all those critters need to eat), humidity and temperature, all of which are helped by organic farming, permaculture and regenerative agriculture practices like applying organic fertilizer (manure, compost, etc.), mulching, and cover cropping (according to her, more for the organic matter than for the nutrients per se).

Check her video below in which she talks about all these things.

To my chagrin, or even dismay, I've discovered that most of the time people who 'code circles around someone' have found a way to handicap everyone else.

When you construct code to exactly fit your own mental model of the universe, you filter out a lot of other potential collaborators. You create a system where you have to do certain work because nobody else can. It's easy to interpret this as being about your qualities instead of your failings.

And eventually this bites everybody on the ass. These people will often become a bottleneck, because while it may look like they won't delegate to others, the truth is that they cannot. They don't know how, and they're standing at the bottom of a hole before it becomes apparent.

I have one experience with Lisp, an undergraduate AI class in the late 90's.

It was an interesting experience, since I didn't actually have convenient access to a Lisp runtime. I would write my Lisp assignments with pencil and paper, and (procrastinating) a few hours before the assignment was due make it to the computer lab and enter my program, just as I imagined my predecessors worked in the 60s and 70s.

The odd thing about Lisp was that my programs almost invariably worked (modulo a mismatched paren) the first time. I've rarely had that happen in other environments.

There was the one time where the set of library functions I thought were present weren't available in the Lisp variant available. I simply implemented the functions I needed in a few minutes.

I only wish I'd have had an opportunity to explore the Lisp world more. It seemed like it was from the past and the future at the same time.
C++ has WAY more spec footguns than JS (and that's without counting all the C undefined behaviors which alone outweight all the warts of JS combined). PHP also beats out JS for warts (and outright bad implementation like left-to-right association of ternaries). Ruby has more than it's fair share of weirdness too (try explaining eigenclass interactions to a new ruby dev). Even python has weirdness like loops having an `else` clause that is actually closer to a `finally` clause.

`typeof null === "object"` is a mistake (like with most of the big ones, blame MS for refusing to ratify any spec that actually fixed them).

If you're having issues accidentally replacing `+` with `-` then you have bigger issues (eg, not unit testing). I'd also note that almost all the other languages you list allow you to overload operators which means they could also silently fail as well. In any case, garbage in, garbage out.

Foo being an instance of function is MUCH more honest than it being an instance of a class because the constructor in all languages is actually a function. This is even more true because you are looking at the primitive rather than the function object which contains the primitive.
That has nothing to do with HTML. That's an HTTP header.

This thread has a surprising amount of not knowing the difference between HTML and HTTP. The original post is entirely about HTML and does not involve HTTP transmission at all.

HTML <meta> tags are a thing, to invoke browser behavior typically associated with HTTP headers. I'm not sure if that can get you there; I would guess that to visually output the meta tag would require the same * { display:block } shenanigan that the original post is about.
The "general public" isn't creating an online encyclopedia. If everyone using it edited it, it would most definitely suck.

I have the same issues with Fridman. I wonder how he's able to get these A-list guests? Is it just that he's the only one in the space doing these kinds of podcasts? I heard his interview with Jim Keller (chip designer extraordinaire) and Fridman did ask some good questions, but there were also some very cringey questions and others that seemed to indicate he was out of his depth (at least with the topic at hand). In spite of it, Keller had a lot of good things to say. So I'll probably listen to this Lattner interview and cringe at points and find what Chris has to say interesting in spite of it.

> Correctness in construction is not subjective.

Perhaps, but it's never certain. So things that are "correct" can still be wrong.

Here's how Einstein expressed his disagreement with what you are saying:

> As far as the laws of mathematics are certain, they do not refer to reality, and as far as they refer to reality, they are not certain.

Nothing in physics (or any other science) is certain. All one can do in science (other than mathematics) is disprove. One cannot prove.

To prove you would have to be all knowing. You would have to have taken into account all relevant aspects of all physical characteristics. For example, all known aspects of quantum mechanics, including the uncertainty principle, AND all relevant unknown aspects of quantum mechanics, which is guaranteed to be hit and miss, and can rationally be expected to contain an unknown number of misses that isn't zero.
