The neoliberal Democrats and Silicon Valley seem to be in kind of in a lovers-gone-haters relationship though, it’s more complicated than what you’re suggesting. They were really loving each other in the Obama years, remember when social media was hailed in liberal media as a positive force for democracy (alluding to the various Spring revolutions)? I mean, Obama’s campaign used private Facebook data no less than Trump did, and liberal media even spun that as a good thing at that time! The problem is once that same technology was soon to be used against the neoliberals from both left/right wing populism (Occupy Wall Street and Bernie for the left, Trumpism for the right), that’s when their relationship got shakened quite a bit and now we’re up to the point where the Dems are filing antitrust regulations against Google. The neoliberals got a bit afraid that the new technocrats (Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc) would accumulate enough power to do whatever they want (against their interests, although so far big tech's interests just seemed to be about making as much money as possible with disregard for anything else), so liberal media began spewing out one of the most blatantly aggressive narratives that social media was the sole fault in the rise of Trumpism (well, only partially so, the more substantial reason has to do with US neoliberal policies leading to deindustrialization, along with the greater urban/rural inequality divide). I mean, SV companies have their faults, but it’s not just them responsible for this whole mess. Anyways, the mainstream Dems finally got the big social media companies to censor as they please, but that’s only after the populist left/right started to look for decentralized or encrypted alternatives, albeit slowly (Telegram/Signal/Mastodon/Pleroma/Lemmy/etc).
What we call “age” is merely the number of the most recent birth anniversary we’ve passed. That makes sense. While your take isn’t invalid, it sets up a less intuitive construct that isn’t aligned with the common meaning of the word.
The one item I'd really contend is where it says it "makes it easier to ... maintain over time".

That might be true for smaller code bases (tracking down exceptions generated from libraries called from libraries, fun!), or code bases where you don't use closed external libraries (that can generate unknowable exceptions), or you use only synchronous code (because asynchronous exceptions wind up jumping to fishkill, welcome to distributed systems (logically, physically or chronologically distributed)).

[EDIT] fixed thinko
Well I was replying to the statement that the OP was saying indexing is less important and I find when dealing with slices it definitely is important (as can be seen in your example).

Generally, I agree with what someone else here stated, 1 or 0 based indexing is less important than open or closed interval. The discussion around these two is typically mixed because 1-indexing uses right-open interval while 0-based indexing uses right-closed.
The "EU laws" have no teeth and are only effective when EU states want to act against each other. When they concern internal affairs of a single state they are in practice meaningless. For instance, Spain is routinely condemned by the European Court of Human Rights (last time, this very week!) because it consistently fails to investigate allegations of torture by basque prisoners. The Spanish state doesn't even bat an eye about that, and the judge who has been in charge of blocking most torture investigations is currently the Spanish minister of justice! There's also an elected EU member of parliament that is currently in a Spanish prison on bogus charges, and he could not join his seat even when the EU law gave him parliamentary immunity. Likewise, three more Catalan MEPs are living in Belgium because they would be jailed (and probably tortured) if they returned to Spain.

It works in TypeScript - just rename something from JS to TS and the you have the benefits of TS's types, warnings, and features but your code will continue to work. Untyped things default to 'any', which is useful if you want to migrate a project from JS to TS. It's a very useful feature if you have a mature project in JS that you want to improve.
I don't have a problem with using the smaller MacBook Air 13" screen for development (I upgraded from a 15" MBP)

I'm not a huge Mail user so I'm not up-to-speed on keyboard shortcuts. But I was able to navigate with the keyboard easily — I hit tab to focus on the correct list then use the up/down arrows to select the inbox or message (your 4/5/6). After hitting Cmd+W both Cmd+0 or Cmd+1 bring the Mail window back for me. And Cmd+Shift+D still sends mail which is the main one I use

I am a huge Xcode user and primarily use the keyboard for code navigation, and that is as good as ever on the 13" MacBook Air in Big Sur. Also use Sketch a lot, and that has been just great too

I guess we have a very different perception of Big Sur but mine is generally favourable, and I don't see the wasted space that you see. There have been a few weekends where I have done all my work on the 13" MBA, which is only just now possible due to battery life, and the experience has been really, really nice
Ok well that is true and may happen sometimes. Personally, I have just dabbled with type definitions, configs etc much more than I ever had those kinds of problems in javascript.

I just feel typescript usually gets in the way, sometimes in a good way, but all too often in a bad way.

Plus my main gripe with typescript is that microsoft owns and controls it so I won't use it just because of that.
I don't know, that book looks a bit dodgy - released 6-ish months ago, OK publisher, 6 reviews on Amazon, the co-author seems to be a long-time Clinton enemy (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/bensmith/man-who-saw-tr...)

The Wikipedia article is probably a better overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_pardon_controvers...
When I read it I felt it was mostly useless outside of the work sphere. The subtext of it felt like "How to win friends and influence people as a new senior manager or owner of the company" - it dealt with cases where you come in with a lot of power and influence and have to get everyone on your side using your soft skills rather than a big stick.
Hey y'all!

I built this interactive course after a year of learning vim and finding it to be extremely useful in my day to day development experience.

The course is designed to give you lots of interactive practice so you can develop the muscle memory needed to effectively use vim.

Would love to hear what you guys think about it :)

Not to mention the really short support lifecycles. I bought OmniGraffle for iPad for the not insignificant £35 - used a few times - about a year later, on the very next iOS version - it stopped working completely, and the only response they gave to people was "Sucks to be you, buy Omnigraffle 2".

I won't touch Omni for anything now.

12:00 should actually be 0:00 on the 12 hour clock, it belongs to the next 12 hour period. 11:59 PM is yesterday, 12:00 AM is one minute later, and falls on today. Same with noon, 12:00 PM comes one minute after 11:59 AM. When I see 12:00, I automatically convert that to 0:00, otherwise AM/PM doesn't make sense.
The Chinese government is highly structured and in general features most of the things one might expect in a modern nation-state (an executive, a legislature, a court system, etc.)

The exception, and what makes it hard to understand for outsiders, is that one of the political parties (Chinese Communist Party) is also an extra, supervisory, branch of government and sits on-top of and permeates all the regular bureaucratic structures. There are other political parties but since they cannot surmount the CCP in this structure they remain relegated to very minor roles. The military (PLA) is also a branch of government, but is also an element of the CCP. One way of thinking of it is that the government of China is not allowed to have a military, and the ruling political party's own security forces have assumed that role -- with subbranches of that force filling in for traditional military branches such as a Navy and an Air Force - which are all separate "forces" under the Army.

Within the CCP there are factions, or different wings, and the kinds of fairly expected politics in any such organization play out as people jostle for position within the party. These factions can have a number of quite profound disagreements, and may sound more like different parties in some ways, but are united by common core beliefs and history.

This structure creates as many problems as it solves, with no external checks to the current CCP policies - but there are internal processes and checks that are supposed to help maintain legitimacy of the party in this structure. On the flip side, establishing such a system also makes it easier to consolidate power over the major power structures. The current head of China, Xi Jinping, is the head of the party, the head of the executive branch and the head of the military, giving him no real outside checks on authority as he has both the supervisory power and the military power to overwhelm opposition - the presidency is more or a ceremonial role within the government at this point.

However, there are analogues, the U.S. President, for example, is also the head of their respective party, the head of the executive branch, and the head of the military. The difference is that there are built in exit ramps and external checks on power (other parties, other branches of government) that are designed to frustrate the accumulation of power and political parties hold no official and a subservient role to the government apparatus. The military in addition, is not a branch of government whereas it is in the Chinese system.

I'm the developer behind littr.me. In my mind, the best reasons for migrating to your own service as a reddit community is the fact that you get ownership of it. You can monetize, you can enforce rules that are different to reddit's, you can focus your interface more specifically towards custom UI, etc.

The main downside of moving off reddit would be that you lose access to the larger pool of reddit users and communities. That however is mitigated by the fact that federated communities can still interact with each other despite being independent services.

Personally this would be my main goal for the project: managing to get one of the cool subreddits to leave reddit in favour of starting their own independent community using my code. However some of the things that are made easier by the centralized model of reddit are quite more difficult in the federated case (moderation as an example), and I don't feel confident (yet) to push for this.
Reminds me of Clinton's (that guy who escaped to Swiss) and Obama's pardons.

Red Hat announces no-cost RHEL for small production environments
Because of static types. If you're building software that needs to be maintained over time, types are always preferable to a lack of types. This is because types codify the shape of application data structures that exist whether you explicitly define them or not. A lack of types is a form of technical debt that every future developer has to repay as they discover application data structures through trial and error.

My understanding is that there was a criminal investigation of Clinton's Marc Rich pardon that concluded without finding any evidence of criminality. I'm not raising this as a defense of his making that pardon, but rather, to point out that a President selling pardons is and has long been considered a serious crime. The Clinton precedent is a clear illustration. Saying "hey, some book alleges Clinton got paid for a pardon, therefore it's common practice" sounds nice, but ignores the fact that suspicion around Clinton's Marc Rich pardon triggered an extensive criminal investigation that concluded he did not, in fact, get paid for it.
Mission accomplished then ;)

Are you going to flash a hand signal that might derail your career if someone "misinterprets the context"?
Not to "both sides" this too much, because I do feel like there's a new, special level of corruption and self-dealing on display with this administration, but it's not uncommon for these guys to use pardons for personal gain or the benefits of their friends. For a little context and flavor, remember that Clinton pardoned some real winners on his last day too, including some guy who paid $200k to Hillary Clinton's brother for the pardon [0], Bill Clinton's own brother (codename: "headache" [3]) and a Democratic party loyalist who was convicted of child porn and sexual assault with a minor [2].

p.s. - if you wonder why the Clintons are especially hated in some circles, and if you wonder why people are so quick to believe those Q conspiracy theories, the kernels of truth exist and originate in simple corruption like this

It happens to me on Windows 10 if I close the laptop lid to lock the desktop and send it to sleep.

When I open it again, the desktop is accessible for a few seconds (sometimes long enough to launch programs) before the lock screen activates and I have to input my password. The workaround I use is to manually lock with Win+L before closing the lid.
Towards the Tower of Babel: A Polyglot Language VM in Java
Honestly a lot of the confusion that I've seen in novice programmers over the years comes from the fact that nobody explained to them (1) that a program is a set of instructions that are executed one after the other by the computer, and/or (2) that memory is like a long line of boxes, each of which can hold a byte.

Once someone understands (2), pointers are incredibly simple and obvious.

Do your security/customs checks on the helicopter ride and that transport costs you zero time.
>Point to point helicopter rides are also very safe relatively speaking

Not for coastal ops. It falls in the more dangerous category.

All rig workers are required to pass HUET- Helicopter Underwater Egress Training.

The gyro forces of the rotating blades ensure any splashdown is followed immediately by the helicopter inverting itself- so underwater and upside down. It also involves the immediate need for survival swimming, with a presumption of a burning oil slick at the surface that must be splashed clear each time you surface, until you can clear the wreckage.

And since the water might be dirty, or covered in oil slick or debris, this training is often done blindfolded.
the difference between serverless and managed service is actually that when there are no requests the serverless is offline and not costing you much.

There is considerable variation in how pardons are applied around the world. Many with simple checks and balances:

- Require nomination or agreement by the AG.
- Prohibit pardoning of political crimes or other self-interest.
- Require approval by at least on other minister, or the whole cabinet, or some portion of the legislative body.
- Require a published request for pardon, justification of the pardon, and the judiciary's comment about this justification.
- Prohibited during lame duck or caretaker periods.
- Allow commutations only.
- Allow pardons only when someone is actually serving their sentence.
- Eliminate mandatory sentences, allows judges to exercise mercy in sentencing.
I read Aws letter not buzzfeed take on it. I advise you do the same

There's no reason to think that you're safe even if it were Apache-licensed. One of the things that was made clear in Oracle v. Google is that Oracle effectively treats litigation as an essential expense for exploring all revenue sources, leaving others susceptible to suits whether they have merit or not. Compounding this latter concern was that another thing made clear is that the terms of the respective licenses is something that Oracle doesn't consider important. Refer to McNealy testifying for example that commercial use of even GPL-licensed work is prohibited (despite the terms of the license not supporting this stance).
That's it. It's also the one where having the record of the prior crime expunged made a huge difference in the potential sentence for the DUI he was being prosecuted for at the time.

I'm not sure if it's better or worse to pardon someone above the table like that or for a president to throw their political weight around behind closed doors to get favorable treatment but it's slimy no matter how you cut it.

The organizer was working to convince Baltimore residents that a sky-borne Big Brother might be in their interests.

I may have missed it: did the Obama Administration pardon a single friend or relative of the Obamas'? Or a single person connected to the administration?

I believe that Obama tried to ensure that the pardon process was beyond reproach. (Some people may disagree with who was pardoned, but the process did not appear to be corrupt in any way.)

That's kind of the problem, though. Most countries didn't carry them over in the same way.

In countries with highly regulated pardon powers, some people are sometimes pardoned (though many countries lean more on the power of the courts to overturn convictions).
I found non-violent communication by Marshal Rosenberg to be a great help in maintaining friendship

The book provides strategies for being empathetic, while maintaining boundaries, which I think is where most friendships go wrong, either by breaking or turning toxic

The book is, in my opinion, a bit naive in its worldview and the writing can be self-indulgent, but if you can look past those issue, I think it could be a very valuable suggestion

In fact jwz himself says in that very post that it is a fundamental problem with X11:

> X11 ... was designed with no security to speak of, and so lockers have to run as normal, unprivileged, user-level applications. ... This mistake of the X11 architecture can never, ever be fixed.

He also claims in the second post that Xscreensaver is actually vulnerable to exactly the same kind of attack:

> The xscreensaver daemon is a critical piece of security software. The reason for this is that, as a screen locker, any bug in the program that causes it to crash will cause the screen to unlock. As soon as xscreensaver is no longer running, the screen is no longer locked. Therefore, great care must be taken to ensure that the daemon never crash.
Even if it's a rounding error, it sounds like you'd break even from having one of your developers do it within a month or two. Unless everyone truly has a months-long backlog of high-impact stuff to do it sounds like a good argument to do it some Friday afternoon.
