Thank you for sharing a bit of history.

I mean, you just make up features and ask customers if they want them before writing a line of code. Check out https://buffer.com/resources/idea-to-paying-customers-in-7-w... from buffer.com for an example.

It was literally the landing and pricing pages first, functionality came a few weeks later and only after people were clicking on the (non-functional) pricing plans because they wanted to buy the product.

> the N connector. While still used extensively in lab/specialist environments, this large coaxial connector isn’t something the average ‘tech dude’ is likely to encounter these days.

Any ‘tech dude’ that’s also a HAM or anyone who’s done work with other radios definitively will disagree that N connectors are only used in labs. I have quite a bit of “consumer grade” gear that uses that connector even (cell signal boosters and Wi-Fi antennas as two examples).
Once the business model and psychology of content aggregation and habitual user feedback loops was discovered, there was no going back. That model is just too powerful and too economically successful. It sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

Unless your community is paid for by some benefactor, you usually run out of money convincing people to pay for it, or end up copying the structure of Facebook/Pinterest/Twitter/Instagram etc.

But if you want to replace Confluence as the knowledge base for the business people, there's Sharepoint, which is better than massaging your genitals with broken glass, but not by much.
It is the title. I havent read further. Nobody wants to be thought of as 'the new' aka green behind the ears one. Change the title to 'letters to the experienced developer', slight adjustment of text (although mentoring applies as wall; and what is good for the new one is good for the seasoned), 3. grab the cash.

Is anyone ever trying to put the stone age culture to the film accurately? That they were not some dirty brutes but they had rich oral tradition and art and rituals and music. They wore richly decorated clothing or elaborate body paint. They knew how to use ash and herbs to disinfect their straw beds. Had actually sharper tools than we usually have. The childhood was brutal no doubt, but when one reached adulthood, quite long and happy life could be expected. They built megaliths and some lived in cities, after all.
Tell that to CapitalOne.
> Probably be easier just to listen for the RF noise from the switching regulator in the power supply.

Natural things give off very little RF... Pretty much anything electronic gives off far far more. It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility for a military to use antenna arrays to try to track every nearby electronic device of any kind. Sure - identifying the device might be tricky, but you gain a lot of intel simply knowing where electronic devices are clustering and headed.
I haven't dug into your papers to a great extent, but off the top of my head - you're injecting a biopolymer, followed by a modified chemotherapeutic agent. The chemotherapeutic agent then binds to the biopolymer.

In your one paper you test Doxorubicin, where the site of action is the tumor DNA itself. Presumably the biopolymer remains extracellular, so how does the "bound" Doxorubicin get to its active site?

Do you see Doxorubicin "unbinding" over time? Does the biopolymer itself enter the cell through phagocytosis?

Because of the bad optics of this, the US census has traditionally been extremely independent from law enforcement. The government has recently been attacking this barrier e.g. with the citizenship question

Two points on history and tradition. The census was originally carried out by the US Marshals. That should indicate the importance and weight of the project. The citizenship question was part of the census until 2000 (1950 short form, 2000 long form).

If you are using the census to distribute voting power to states, and the distribution is based on count of citizens, not people, then it is a fair question to ask.
Yes, you really don't want to end up 'practicing your mistakes'.

While the article has you thinking of stopping listening to the voices keeping you comfortably complacently lacking meaning and purpose, consider that the pattern and lessons apply beyond one's personal life to acting on the biggest problems of society too -- mainly choosing to act in stewardship for the environment. People expect it will be a burden, a chore, ineffective, and separate them from family an income, as the article implied it its context. Likewise, the opposite happens.
Wow, it's kind of astounding to me that which party is in power could make a difference to a census.

Being in the country's constitution does make it difficult to delay.
> (although due to GC it can never be that fast I'd think; but who knows).

Well, in theory GC can be made very fast. Though you sort-of have to decide whether you want maximal throughput or real-time latency guarantees.

In practice, we aren't quite there yet, alas.

The way to get really fast code is just to avoid allocation, I'd guess? OCaml allows you to use mutation, and it's relatively easy to peak under the hood to see what your code gets translated into.

The main technical innovation of Rust is the borrow-checker.

But that piece is very related to linear types / uniqueness types. There's some interesting work going on with linear types in Haskell.

And just like Generalized Algebraic Data Types also eventually made their way to OCaml, there's no fundamental reason they couldn't add linear types to OCaml, I guess?

(Linear types can basically be used to encode the FP equivalent of manual memory management.)
How do you translate product efficacy by an anonymous person clicking a buy link on a pricing page? All you are doing is gauging this ephemeral, uninformed click which has no direct correlation to what the product will actually _do_.

It seems more of a crap shoot to gauge interest off of random clicks on a buy page versus having an actual product with actual user feedback that is actionable.

I am more or less a mid-foot striker mostly. My all-time favorite shoes were the ASICS Excalibur GTs, a line retired more than 30 years ago--of course I don't have the same feet now that I had then.

One thing I see all the time: women nearly always land well up on the foot, no matter how puffy their shoes are. This does not mean that women always have efficient strides--a lot of the force can go into loft rather than forward motion.

Nothing but CGI models. Surely a news agency as reputable as CNN can get the nomenclature right here?

I agree. It would be much better if both sides were at least honest.

for example, the Democrats could say "we understand some electoral college votes will be indirectly allocated to illegal immigrants, we also understand that because liberal states have more illegal immigrants it will help the left more than the right, but that's the price to pay for counting every actual US citizen."

The republicans could say, 'we want to make sure only US citizens count in terms of votes, and we will lose some actual US citizens plus we will undercount illegal immigrants (which is useful in other, non voting related ways) in order to ensure that.'

Then we can have a conversation. The way this dialog is being had, with liberal statisticians making 'scientific arguments' and republicans attacking electoral integrity is just a mess.
Yeah, but this behaviour is not really bred into cats the way we've bred behaviour into dogs. Cats and humans is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement where we get pest control and they get shelter and a steady food supply.

They kind of just moved in with us several thousand years ago and stuck around because it worked out well for them.
I like Numerical^2 for iOS because it remembers your last N calculations so you can go back and get something, and see what it entailed (it shows the entire calculation). Not having this ability made me delete Euclid.

Numerical^2 also has a nice landscape mode that shows all the operations; it slides the keyboard like Euclid does to show them in portrait mode.

Odd, by the way, that the iOS version is more expensive than the macOS version...
Your assessment is off the mark. The point of right to repair is for manufacturers to simply stop being hostile to repairing. Using screws with special/custom heads, forcing authentication of spare parts, etc., are all hostile. One could argue more about the use of glue in everything, but that’s more about the limitations of a specific design and not necessarily intentionally hostile (though in some cases it is).

The cost of labor has absolutely nothing to do with this. A single person who wants to fix their own phone or tractor should be able to do it without having to jump through ridiculous hurdles or being outright blocked from doing so by the manufacturer.
Enumeration Clause of the Constitution says that the census counts everyone.

Legislators can change that through legislation. They're not supposed to sabotage the accuracy of the census.
There are materials and building techniques that do not allow radar signals to reflect cleanly which severely weakens the radar image. It just so happens the military is pretty aware of this. If the military wanted to hide from a radar scan, they would have the know how, the means, and the desire to do it.
Yes, this is one of the harder problems, a lot of brain cycles got spent on getting it as accurate as it is now but there definitely is still room for improvement. Keep in mind that the browser is a super hostile environment for this kind of application and accurate (millisecond level) time tracking in the browser is next to impossible. The solution we picked was to reduce/increase the speed of the scroll based on the error term between where we are and where we should have been. This keeps the scolling reasonably smooth while giving the smallest error in time. If we'd prioritize the scrolling it would look better but the timing would be further off. Suggestions for improvements to the code are of course very welcome, the code is extensively commented. There are some really nasty gotcha's in the interaction between the setup of the original midi file on the score leading to some decisions that retrospectively were probably sub-optimal but I will definitely revisit those in the near future to improve on them. Fun fact: the score is drawn three times to get it as close to time correct and visually attractive as possible, first a rough plan to get everything in the right bar and in the right order, then as close as possible to the right point in time and finally any odd space is used to spread out the note heads so it looks visually attractive. The plan is to remove all that and to first create an intermediary representation and then to draw that in one go.

Maryland and California both have several arguably well intentioned though racially motivated districts. The Supreme Court has ruled that splitting minority districts is a violation of the U.S. Constitution as it weakens their voice. Which has made this a common fight between the parties.

However, this idea that districts should be advantageous to some group is inherently corrosive to the idea of democracy. You can’t have your cake and eat it to, either districts need to be arbitrary lines drawn without political influence or your just deciding what influences are allowed.

PS: Packing means these districts can also be used to hurt democrats by creating a single district with extreme bias you can create several safe districts which would otherwise be contested.
Regulation could change this equation very very quickly.

There might also be unexpected sweet spots for this kind of technology. Things that come to mind:

An overall tax rate of 40% is extremely high; in most places, even those with mandatory social insurance on top, low-wage work like DoorDash doesn't get that kind of cut.

> The whole tipping culture is a big question itself and one of the leading cause for extremely low wages

Potato, potahto. American work culture in this area is just very strange, a huge collective action problem that people can't dig their way out of because the discourse is so dysfunctional.
Both sides have ulterior motives.

Counting illegal immigrants in the census helps Democrats because liberal states have more of them. This is just a fact. You may think we should still count as many of them in the census, that's fine. But don't pretend there is no issue with one side of the argument.

Mentioning motives of one side but not the other is naive. It also prevents us from having a real conversation about the trade offs at hand.
I will look at using the regular PC keyboard as a stand-in midi keyboard of ~ 2 octaves. This is not going to give a great experience (especially because many keyboards have limited key-rollover) but it should give a less-hardware-required onboarding experience, which is always a good thing.
That is the case. I don't think it is obvious that this sort of naked use of power is always going to be the best strategy for a political group though. Only time will tell, but it appears to me that the coalition of voters the GOP has long relied on is starting to fracture.
The constitution also doesn't preclude counting who is able to vote. The constitution places limits on the government, but we can add things that act within those bounds. Asking about citizenship falls within those bounds.
>I had a few Python scripts that spend several seconds parsing larger files, after a rewrite to c++ that changed to almost instant.

Was it worth rewriting those scripts in C++? I'm not trying to be facetious; a few seconds (or minutes) of additional runtime for scripts you hardly ever run or even run only once doesn't really matter, but running such scripts often may then worth the effort to convert them to something faster.

I regularly find myself porting regularly used python/js scripts to C#/dotnet (because it's fast enough, has good collections + LINQ for your somewhat-functional-programming needs and I can skip manual memory management, and async/await programming is not perfect but available and easy enough, + nuget has a lot of stuff and so does the standard lib).

What made you pick C++ over e.g. go or rust or C#?

The real problem with shipping isn’t the CO2 emissions of the fuel as much as the dirtiness of the fuel. It doesn’t seem crazy to gamble that this will eventually be restricted heavily, particularly in Europe, and thus that it will become more expensive (fossil fuel ships aren’t going away anytime soon, but we could definitely see greatly increased standards).

The article does concentrate on CO2, but I suspect that’s not the real story here.

“How to make money writing low quality blog spam”
I sampled one of the Moomin books in French and was struck by how bad that translation seemed, too. I don't know them in the original (it's not a language I speak), but I was able to compare the English version there in the store, and the prose just seemed much livelier in English. (The French Harry Potter is comparable to the English, for a control for this experiment.)

That wasn't actual censorship, but unless it's an unlucky sample or a quirk of my taste then the French were unfortunate with both authors.
It just shows an ability to learn. There is nothing wrong with that.
That took me a good 18 hours to figure out what you meant. Funny!
I just want to provide a counterpoint to the above article. My first job out of college was at one of the "sexy" unicorns. I had fun working there, loved my coworkers, etc. I ended up leaving after 18 months to go start my own thing for many of the same reasons listed in this article. I'm in my twenties! Now is the time to take risks and optimize for learning!

In retrospect, I wish I hadn't. Maybe that's because they just filed for IPO. But I underestimated how rare these jobs are. Let's be honest--the types of experiences the author references are only available at hyper-growth startups the Valley has deemed to be "sexy". Just look at the examples: Uber, Stripe, Coinbase. The author makes it sound like you can walk into one of these roles whenever you want. It's a lie.

First, these companies only come around once in a blue moon. Second, you've got to time it just right. Third, you have to convince them to hire you. I'm sure most people on here have a story about how they didn't get a job for no discernible reason whatsoever.

There are many good reasons to leave a job. Don't let hustle porn be one of them.
Firefox asked to import logins from Chromium

They might be great for inference with tensorflow - but from what I can tell from Google's documentation, Coral doesn't support training at all.

I'm sure an ML accelerator that doesn't support training will be great for applications like mass-produced self-driving cars. But for hobbyists - the kind of people who care about the difference between a $170 dev board and a $100 dev board - being unable to train is a pretty glaring omission.

Speak up against what? It's an unfalsifiable immeasurable diagnosis. I appreciate that most everyone means well, but academia is not some city on a hill with saints wielding an omniscient peer review process. Incredibly elementary statistical errors make it thru peer review process in even the highest impact journals somewhat frequently - so no I don't have any faith that academics would criticize an unfalsifiable diagnosis even if they could. That's really the basis of my opinion in the first place - if you can't prove something is true then you can't prove it's false. That being the case, what's the point of the label to begin with?
IMHO Vim's strength come from the ability to operate on any logical chunks of text in a unified manner. Being able to jump around text with the keyboard is hardly a big deal compare to that. For example, to delete the entire body of a function in C, you can type "da{", where "d" means delete and "a{" points to text surrounded by braces. To delete a single sentence, I can do "das", etc etc. Of course, you could do the same using the mouse by selecting text manually, but it's way more tedious than Vim commands.
The current generation have forgotten that the web was just created by engineers over a decade or more, not something that was always there.

Paraphrasing Alan Kay on the growth of programming languages and personal computing in the 70s vs 80s, it became something to learn, ossified in time, not something that could be recreated, remixed, rethought.

This is normal with technology adoptions. Eventually it will be disrupted (it already is on the fringes), this just tends to take decades.
