Hopefully the people following the article's advice will never have to write about any scientific or technical topic.

Beside, it is interesting that as an example of bad Latin origin word the author chose "fulfillment".

If the author's point is in fact "do not use long words that make my head hurt", he should keep it simple and let it at that, instead of bringing etymology up.
My covid side gig is a modest attempt at starting something: https://discoflip.com
Hard disagree, the shift in perspective from third-person to the first-person quote is jarring. You use the brackets to mold the quote into the grammatical context of the sentence that surrounds. Extra emphasis on the context of the grammar, as changing the overall context alters its message.

You can also use those brackets to cut out unnecessary/irrelevant/extraneous words. A necessity, sometimes, and one that is easy to misuse in a way that changes message or meaning.

Hey now, I am one of these people, and I most definitely exist!
Selectors are very brittle. I do not use them and IMO the scrapers I create are less likely to break and easier to fix if they do.
Yes but downvotes are annoying and the sub threads aren’t a good place for real discussions imo. I’d take an old fashion forum any day. It’s a shame that outside of history and science fiction there aren’t too many large forums anymore as Reddit has basically replaced them all. Reddit has a serious meme problem (even on subs where they’re banned) and repetitive jokes often times derailing conversations as funny one liners get upvoted to the top (then replied to with funny one liners) as longer form posts get moved to the bottom.
So you went from high diverse place to one of most NON diverse place and you are happy? [1]

Is the date wrong? It says 8th Feb 2020
Because that money is sitting there idle otherwise, stagnating the economy. Money is made to be spent. Hoarding it is antisocial behavior given that personal needs have been met.

> Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to formally map out all of your inputs and outputs for partial recompilation to work?

Make needs that information, but that doesn't mean you need to be the one to catalog it. I found this article pretty useful [1]; in a nutshell, many compilation tools (including gcc, clang, and erlc) are happy to write a file that lists the compile time resources they used, and you can use that file to tell Make what the dependencies are. It's a bit meta, so it made my brain hurt a bit, but it can work pretty well, and you can use it with templated rules to really slim down your Makefile.

(I've tested this with GNU Make; don't know if it's workable with BSD Make)

I'm not sure the parent comment meant effeminate in demeanor. There is some indication that the brains of homosexual men have some similarities to female brains[1]. The GP's speculation doesn't need to rely on "stereotypes" to describe the homosexual male brain as closer to (heterosexual) female than the heterosexual male brain.

Fine Tuning QNA Model
I would argue that the whole idea of thinking about exercise as something you have to enjoy is overrated.

Do you enjoy cleaning your house or doing your taxes? Do your enjoy taking your car in for maintenance?

Sure some people enjoy some or all of those things, but you still have to do them regardless. They're a part of being a responsible adult.

Likewise, regular exercise is a part of being a responsible steward of your own health and well-being. Establishing the habit, regardless of how much you enjoy it, is as important for your long-term well-being as regularly contributing to your retirement account.

Now does that mean you have to choose an exercise modality that you hate? No, of course not. But there are some tried and true modalities that are extremely effective and don't have to be torture. You might find them boring at first, but they're effective and if you could bottle their effects in a pill, you'd be the richest person on the planet.

Almost all of them have something like that: Robert Strandh has a technique that looks promising[1] and is being implemented as a library, I believe. CLOS’s customization hooks allow you to switch out the implementation of “generic function” on a case-by-case basis which can be used to implement this sort of optimization.

This. Just mindblowing. It either means we're 1) completely insignificant or 2) incredibly significant.

Or, I suppose 3) a sort of mediocre level of significance.

Damn.

"Mostly Harmless".
Why would people who weren't convinced by reputable evidence in the first place be convinced by slightly better evidence that is only better in a technical hard to express and prove fashion. This is especially true when the people doubting are the least educated and least intelligent.

It's like saying that better proof of evolution would convince some portion of creationists. That's just not how misinformation works.

Misinformation works by targeting vulnerable parties with misinformation that aligns with their existing vulnerabilities and beliefs in order to power relevant action with long stored and fruitful sources of hate, bias, and scorn in a fashion that bypasses the brain and goes right for the gut.

Like 30% in America believe in a young earth that is thousands not billions of years old.

If Bob is a scientist of some sort and presenting interesting scientific work to the community and incidentally advising the government on environmental policy that will harm some business and you want to crush support for this by playing on existing biases with this group you advertise to the young earth crowd about how bob is anti God and see if you can tie bob to as many negative things they already dislike as you can.

You aren't fighting an intellectual battle to set their ideas on bob let alone deeper ideas you are fighting an emotional battle to galvanize existing deeply held beliefs to obtain useful action like calling up and yelling at their congressman or voting.

In that context asking Bob to present a better case is laughable. The relevant parties never engaged their brain in the first place.
I just watched a video on Apple’s “cash problem”, with one of the video creators core point that “people expect the stock price to go up, and that can’t happen unless Apple does something with that cash and makes more with it!”.

Got me thinking: isn’t one of the core premises of investing that you’re purchasing ownership of cash flow? Is the ideal company one that it’s never profitable because it so perfectly allocated its money to never return a dime, but always to reinvest in itself? There’s a time and a place for re investment, but returning profit to investors is marginalized these days.

Apple probably doesn’t have a money problem, the culture does. Startups don’t sell growth except secondarily, they sell profit.
I'm a little confused, you seem to be using choice and environment like they are synonymous here. It's a small nitpick but, even if this is environmental or epigenetic it doesn't necessarily mean that people get to choose the environment they exist in, at least in their formative years.
Reddit has one thing going for it. Not much competition just like Facebook. It is a hard market to break into (social media) and people just don't try. We have new startups focusing on newest hottest shit like AI driven solution to mashing potatoes. But rarely we see startup tackling good old social media. Maybe because it is high fail area while current AI fueled rush is not yet branded high fail area ?

Anyway good for them at reddit do push good numbers. I bet the covid fueled traffic also helped a lot.
The Automated Market Maker (AMM) systems are smart contracts using something more equivalent to a ballast system with pools - "liquidity pools" (LP, ironically and perfectly these act like limited partner shares of a pooled investment) - allowing the current price to be more of a ratio, which is stored in the smart contract after every trade. The largest AMM's have user-spawned markets which contain two assets (this is in direct contrast and competition to the concept of begging exchanges to add your asset and pretending that market makers organically showed up, all while getting extorted by the exchanges and market makers, the market has chosen AMMs).
When someone buys in an AMM market, they send AssetA adding to the pooled balance of AssetA, and receiving AssetB, reducing the pooled balance of AssetB. The ratio (simple division) of these two assets is stored at the end of that trade in the same smart contract (the spawned liquidity pool ballast), and can therefore be read by any other user and other smart contracts. Reading is a free operation.

This user-spawned and self-replication smart contract factory, alongside the price storage, has been key to the DeFi boom over the past year. No oracle required.

People (organizations) are using oracles to try to keep markets with similar assets in sync, and for smarter routing for the best price. The arbitragers take care of that too, which is simply Oracle + Fund movement. Flash loan users in the repo market are arbitraging as well, which is simply Oracle + Borrow + Fund movement + Repay in a single transaction included in a single block.

It is a growth industry when you stop asking why and start asking how. A lot of oracles are ignoring some market pairs, and the oracles themselves could have their own inefficiency.
As another commenter said: evil-mode is very good. Once I “got” emacs, I systematically translated my vim config and have never looked back. evil-mode still has a couple annoying differences, but it’s complete enough that they’re mostly things you wouldn’t notice unless you’re looking for them.
> I have been told that this bracketing fetish may come from academia, where formal rules of writing are a kind of hazing and where sounding faintly like a space alien could be mistaken for rigor. The academics are also wrong to do it. Presumably they believe it’s OK to vivisect quotations because the reader can always go to their footnotes and look up the original text to see what it actually says.

I disagree. The brackets are especially helpful if you quote partially and leave out parts of a paragraph and denote it with: [...]

I wouldn't think in terms of "stacks" since those come and go, and you find different sets of tools in different application domains. I would focus on some fundamentals that are common and/or core.

Relational databases and SQL. Learn the relational model.

C, a core skill that teaches things common to many languages and tools. I would learn C first, and then C++, but some people suggest going right to C++. If you reasonably master C++ then Java and C# are pretty easy to pick up.

Unix/Linux. System admins and people who can set up and keep servers running are always in demand. Programmers who can use the Unix tools get a productivity boost.

Lisp or Scheme. Learn another way to think about programming.

If you want to get into web development it helps (a lot) to understand the HTTP protocol, DNS, web application security, HTML, CSS, Javascript.

If you want to get into machine learning that's a different world with its own tools and fundamental skills to learn.

New phenomenon? You should read some history books! It’s never not been like this, it’s almost always been worse: thousands of years of those at the bottom losing everything while those at the top, if not getting assassinated in power struggles, get all the payoffs. As bad as it is today, it was almost always much worse in the past.
"white-space: nowrap" just stops line wrapping — it won't add a space that doesn't already exist in the source code.

The cleanest way to add whitespace in this situation is to add a right margin to the icon. The quickest way is to add an HTML character entity. The lightest way is to add a single unicode space character before the text.
Normally one should paraphrase. Quotes are reserved for special cases where that exact way something is said is essential for communicating the message. And the need to add []-blocks is evidence that it doesn't belong to that special class.

Edit: All you lazy copy-paste writers downvoting all the comments here that propose paraphrasing instead of quoting: I see you.
Romanian Real Estate Portal Suffers Crippling Data Breach
Ex-Salesforce manager alleges microaggressions and inequity
Yes, you can sue anyone for anything. Your suit probably won't prevail, unless you have access to very expensive lawyers and your opponent doesn't.

But you can totally sue anyone for anything, and that makes for entertaining headlines - even though if plaintiff lost promptly
I'm sorry, but you are simply wrong. Quotes are, well, quotes, and if their grammar absolutely needs to be edited to fit your prose, then that means you shouldn't be using that quote.

Editing a quote should be done with grave solemnity -- you are changing someone else's words -- and only to clarify meaning that was disturbed when you extracted the quote from its natural context. Anything else can be handled in your prose.

(I don't consider snipping or eliding to be editing the quote, unless it is done deceptively to suggest something that was not present in the original. It's just a way to, essentially, make two quotations at once.)

If what you suggest was truly necessary, wouldn't most complex dialogue in fiction be incomprehensible? Yet it isn't... unless it gets mangled. As the article's Romeo and Juliet example clearly demonstrates.
Liberal gender and sexual norms are very clearly better for humanity and it is a moral imperative that the rest of the world adopt them. Social conservatism of the sort practiced in most of the world, including but not remotely limited to the Muslim world, is incompatible with basic human rights and freedoms. To be very clear: social conservatism is bad and social liberalism is good.

As someone not from the west, I hold these beliefs very firmly. The abuse and oppression I saw growing up was the inevitable result of patriarchal culture. Traditional gender and sexual norms are not worth saving. I hope some day they're seen in the same light we see feudalism or chattel slavery today.

So, yes, in that sense "born that way" is a compromise with bigots.
Counter-counter example, even if you do reach someone at Amazon they're not necessarily going to do anything useful.

I've had a problem with my Amazon account for years now, after Amazon billed me (on my seller account) for something they shouldn't have.

After I complained, they agreed to refund it. Except the refund never arrived.

Asked many times over the years "WTF?", and someone always promises to look into it after agreeing they can see the problem.

Never to be heard from again. Same pattern has happened every single time (many times). Obviously, something about it puts it in the "too hard" basket... :/

Needless to say, I don't use Amazon's services much at all any more unless required for job purposes. And I steer people away from AWS for the same reason too.
There's a sweetspot where the sub is big enough that there's activity and content of interest but not so big that it just turns into a mess of low effort upvote farming.

There's also a few different sub archetypes that have formed. For instance /r/nfl is a low effort upvote farm due to its size, but the moderators do a fantastic job of policing submissions. So if you use it as a news aggregator, it's great. Just don't read any of the discussion.
You will get 10 different contradictory answers because the whole ecosystem is a mess. It's filled with huge amounts of technical complexity, opaqueness, bad actors, and so many gotchas and snafus you didn't forsee that you will be wondering where all the money went. It has no viability and you would be best to stay as far away from it as you can.

Dams are not built within markets. Most of the time it's a public (i.e. state) mandate. Not surprised that states can't manage anything long term, they have no incentive to do so since officials run for short election periods.

You couldn't possibly be more wrong. Have you ever not been able to afford medication that you know you needed to breath and gone to sleep to have a nightmare about being attacked and suffocated and woke up to find it was real save for the fact that it was your own body?

Ever wondered if you could afford to keep a pet from dying due to being able to afford the care?

Ever wondered if losing your home was going to stress your marriage so much that it might splinter?

The only people who think the bottom is less stressful have never been there.
The problem isn't so much about the correctness of a record, or being able to recover from changes in state, it's more about ensuring the consistency of the states of multiple different parts of the overall system. How do you recover consistency?

Even our brains have not entirely solved this problem. Sometimes when you hear a stimulus such as a phone ringing different parts of your brain will receive and process the stimulus at different times, so it can seem as though you become conscious that the phone has rung before you become consciously aware of hearing the sound of it ringing.

In a computer system you might have some parts working based on derived values from a record in the source of truth. This can lead to other parts working based on other derived values based on a different value when it has changed, so they disagree.
Those features in Hugo are mostly reliant on themes. Hugo has a concept called "shortcodes" which allow you to add capabilities that rely on adding additional JS, or HTML blocks in at specific points in your Markdown.

The theme I use on my website for instance has a shortcode called "fluid_imgs" which handles images pretty well, and I also wrote my own shortcode addition to support embedding images from Flickr more easily. Additionally the theme I'm using integrates MathJax and HighlightJS, which it utilizes in the standard way for Markdown (e.g. in most Markdown implementations you can specify the language after triple backticks to start a code block) by invoking highlighting on code blocks.

Getting what you're asking for should be pretty simple in Hugo with the appropriate theme or minimal effort anyway.
No No, I prefer the middle ramblings too. My reader should be thrown off track by irrelevant parts of what someone said. /s

Tesla Receives Significant Warning from Chinese Regulator
Reddit ads suck - and that's exactly the reason why the company is worth so much (and probably more).

The predominant consumption pattern is similar to the other major social networks - scrolling through an infinite feed of dopamine inducing content. This indicates that its earning potential could be closer to that of Facebook and Instagram with the right ads in place.

This also brings the point that Reddit would be an amazing purchase for Facebook if it could pass regulatory scrutiny. And if not - that they should at least collaborate on their ads
Spoiler alert: nobody does. We're only doing it for the money.
Ah yes, as opposed to market driven corporations, where the majority of employees probably churn in <5 years.
No, classic companies like Coca-Cola pay dividends to their shareholders. A company can also buyback their shares.
In the end this is just a matter of definitions. For my own understanding, I define left and right and center in terms of the relative opinions of the population, not the parties. You define them by the parties' positions - that's fair of course, it's a workable definition.

I do think there are advantages to my definition - by your definition, the majority of the US population has an extreme left position on Medicare for all, as an example.
