That's a non question, as if you could have prevented the majority of people from dying of it, lockdowns were about "flattening the curve" they weren't even saving the majority of lives (maybe some) at an incommensurable social cost.
I was actually starting to accept NTF’s, until I noticed the price—-$69 to register your bits. This stopped me flat.

Not Apple... I think it's really the developer's responsibility.

Like you say, you like Firefox but say if you want to video chat in Microsoft Teams, they'd tell you "video is not available in your browser".

Some games are only available on Android, others only on iOS. Or you are on a Mac but you can't play because someone opted for the easy way out saying "Macs are not for games" even though I am certain what I want would run just fine, if it was available.

These as examples of gatekeeping and the fix is definitely in the hands of developers to make their stuff portable and working everywhere.

"If you cannot build things you can show at work, you should build things you can show outside of work."

BS. This line of thinking is why our industry is so toxic.

If you want to work on programming-related topics in your free time, great! If not, great! If an interviewer expected me to work on programming-related projects in my free time, I would immediately end that interview and probably never work at that company. We need to normalize people doing other things in their free time.

You also don't need to be productive each week(end) on top of work. There are times when we're more productive and times when we're less productive- and that's perfectly fine. Some people are more driven, which is fine. But there is more to life than work.

Japanese (and Korean) work culture is highly toxic even by American standards. It should not be the basis of anything for deciding how to live one's life. It's sad to see this rhetoric coming from someone who actually has a family.
Maybe this is a the case, however there are, I would guess at least a billion people on earth who play games. there is nothing even close to that using blockchains. If blockchain energy usage is even vaguely in the range of games it can still be considered an enormous --possibly-- unnecessary usage of power
> "Unit Tests are like pouring concrete on your code base."

If they're very closely coupled to your code, yes.

I'll just say there's a reason why they're called "unit tests" not "class tests": because a "unit" is not necessarily a "class". You get to choose how big a unit is, and if it impedes change - like pouring concrete - choose differently.

You got that containment backwards;

switch('a', {'abc': 1}, 'default') #returns 1

... but you're not wrong, that's godawful. But from the context of the article, they're optimizing for the case where multiple cases evaluate to the same answer. It would make more sense to write

switch('a', {('a','b','c'): 1}, 'default') #returns 1

I'd optimize for performance, personally:

def switch(match, dictionary, default="no match"):
return dictionary.get(match, default)
Ah, fair play. I must’ve missed that part of the article, or just didn’t have it top of mind when reading your comment.
Nice, you built a good argument against a nonsense issue. Now try the actual issue instead of a straw man.
That's interesting. The recent post about a fast dataframe library in rust (polars, I think) and its python bindings is also telling. Py3O might be a rust+python kind of secret weapon in terms of speed and productivity... And it's based on the procedural macros I was mentioning :-).
>I don't doubt there have been issues

Nor do I, and especially the youngest students might be suffering, but at the same time there seems to be an concerted effort from the established "brick-and-mortar" education establishment to discourage from further experiments in the remote learning field, something which seriously threatens the way education has been executed hitherto, being potentially both much cheaper and more individually targeted.

That's at least the conclusion that I draw from the fact that there are multiple reports of this supposed mental health hazard that comes with remote learning, but the evidence is notoriously anecdotal. The only reliable real statistic I have seen (from Sweden) is that the quality of learning and grades on average have gone up, if anything.
Why do you think I don’t know how to earn it myself?
Civil engineers don't have to build bridges in their back yards or write blog posts about I beams; their education is presumed sufficient for an entry level job. Why can't tech work like this? Do students need to form some kind of union and agree not to talk about extracurricular programming to interviewers for their first job?

How many American soldiers station in Taiwan? And more importantly: how many nukes?

Since the answer to both is "zero" TSMC actually decreases Taiwan's security - it gives China a strong incentive to attack, with zero means to prevent it on US side.

There's probably some price point below which there is a perceptible difference in quality, but, yes, a lot of it is a scam. At a minimum, you there's no guarantee of bang for buck above a certain fairly low price ceiling.
How Inditex is refashioning its business model
"It had been closed, on and off, for much of the past year. Now signs on the blacked-out windows of the Zara shop on the Champs-Elysées, the Spanish brand’s early outpost in the French capital, announce it will not re-open even after covid-19 passes. Disappointed fashionistas are redirected to the label’s website for all their value-for-money sartorial needs. Alternatively, they can stroll two blocks down the avenue, where another Zara shop opened a few years ago. There are three more within a half-hour’s walking distance in central Paris."
Interesting. Our experiences differ dramatically.

In my experience, misguided "could this be DRYer" is usually motivated by superficial similarity, and a focus on knowledge is clarifying. (Although as I mentioned, "yes, it's repeated, but given tradeoffs that's the best in this case at least for the moment" is still possible.)

Well, in Germany three politicians who had to resign because of corruption where they had made deals with companies manufacturing masks and made hundreds of thousands of euros. And this is just facts and no conspiracy theories, and I bet this goes on at every level. If you find a way to (legitimately) control people and peoples behaviours, of course it's lucrative.
Those people are already exempted. Group homes for people who can't live independently do have work placement programs, although I don't know how you prevent them from displacing "real" workers - presumably it's not that much of a problem.

Besides that, just paying people to do nothing works fine because they can do non-economic work (childcare/caretaking) or speculative things (write a book, go back to school) and US policy is heading back in this direction. We stopped with Reagan because voters tend to turn against welfare policies when you point out that black people are getting them.
Stock options. Personal gain is a hell of a drug. Remember that these people are self-selected to go for money - that's why people go to SV.
One of the problems is that by definition, digital assets can be replicated at a virtual zero-cost. There is no "original" copy to be owned, since a digital asset that is uploaded is already a copy of a copy of a copy of some bits. If it happens to be an image or movie, and you open it in your browser, you're already looking at a copy. A baseball card that was produced in the 60's cannot be reproduced atom-for-atom. And there is an original mona lisa. Sure you can have a copy or picture of the mona lisa on your wall, but that will remain just that: a copy. But in the digital world, EVERYTHING is a copy. So what exactly is it that you own with an NFT?

Ownership is based on the ability to have something tangible of a limited supply, but as I established before, digital assets can be freely copied. What are you trying to do? Artificially limiting this? Trying to push through a completely new idea of 'ownership'?

The only thing owning an NFT gives you is bragging rights of a perceived ownership. But if I say "I don't recognize this NFT proving anything", copy your asset, reproduce it and sell it somehow, you can't stop me. You claim to own some bits and claim to be able to prove that, but I can just ignore that completely, since there is zero legal grounds for this.

This is why it is absolutely moronic in my mind to have an 'ownership' idea on digital assets. It's already bad enough in online games to have in-game assets, which is in a walled-garden, under control of the company making the game, so yeah, there they can do this, it adds some perceived value. But to actively introduce this concept in an open digital world sounds absolutely crazy, counter-productive and conceptually against everything my ideal version of the internet would be: open and free as in beer.
Quick yoga in the morning.

The first thing I do, 2-4 times a week, is to roll out the mat and do a 10-30 minute yoga session. There are hundreds of free yoga videos on YouTube, with some experienced teachers. You don't even need that many different ones, I re-use the same dozen or so. There's something about the familiarity of re-doing the same movements that really makes you concentrate.

Mind and body feel better afterwards.

As a society we can be changed by individual people. I would prefer to retain that, yes.
When I develop software, the source code repo contains a text file with all the third-party stuff I have used, both linked and copy-pasted, along with the URLs where I got the code and their licenses.

Not precisely a BOM and I maintain them for different reason, but overall I think pretty close to what’s proposed. Couple examples from my open-source projects: https://github.com/Const-me/vis_avs_dx/blob/master/legal.txt https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/master/Pre-existing%2...
> employees not being allowed to enter rooms, secret chat rooms,

This is providing employees only as much information as needed to do their job. Apple, for instance, seems to do this. So it might not ring any alarm bells with the employee.
Will this be software the author will ever have to pass on? I'd guess probably not, considering it's software for his small bakery. It's software directly tied to his identity - he's the sole consumers. That's exactly the kind of software emacs is great for, and precisely the kind of software "hacker" types use.

He's not going to sell this as a "bakery management system" and become a software company, he's just going to bake bread. If he needs to share the _information_, then he can just print reports, that's ostensibly what the system is _for_.
I've seen how software is developed. If we have automated systems doing the same thing, they will all make the same mistake. It will be astounding to see it happen, and disastrous.
As a counter-point, here are three examples of highly successful individuals in the tech industry with an M.S. in computer science as their highest degree:

- Soumith Chintala (https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumith): Co-inventor of PyTorch; Distinguished Engineer at Facebook AI

- Jacob Devlin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-devlin-135ab048): Inventor of BERT; SWE at Google AI

- Yuxin Wu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ppwwyyxx): Lead developer on Detectron2; SWE at Facebook AI

If we include successful entrepreneurs and CEOs, the list becomes larger still.

Of course, these examples are cherry-picked, but I'd be careful with your assumptions.

Many people who pursue Master's degrees in the U.S. are international students who didn't have the luxury to do their undergrad in the U.S., a large number of whom have gone on to great success in the tech industry. At the high end, M.S. in computer science grads represent the best and brightest of three groups: international students, PhD dropouts, and those curious enough about CS to pursue it at the graduate level.
I will nod to your choice of using a reciever and "conventional" speakers. In addition, you can get amazing value on that stuff used.

Nobody wants, say, pre-HDMI AV recievers, so you can buy top-of-the-line units that sold for $1000 in 1995 for $30 today, and it's perfectly capable for 2-channel PC audio. Go back a few more years and you get into the domain of vintage 70s silver gear-- not so much cheap anymore, but a lot of of it has truly impressive build quality and servicability.

Same with the big old speakers which predate the "tiny satelites + subwoofer" designs. I think you could set up an empty Goodwill in a sealed enclosure, never let a person into it, and several sets of Fisher and Technics speakers with 12" or 15" woofers and $19.95 price tags would spontaneously generate.

I splurged a bit and got the Pioneer "Andrew Jones" floorstanding speakers (about USD250 per pair) like 5 or 6 years ago, and power them with a 1980 JVC A-X4 amplifier (about USD100 used, but I put about 75 more in rebuilding it) Since it's in a 10x15 room, you don't need a remote to change sources.
I was hoping that we were moving in the opposite direction where people aren't expected to show off side projects, ship something every week or work for a famous company in order to be successful. If this article is good advice, that makes me a bit sad about the state and direction of the industry.

To me, this fact makes it even more shocking how bad the US public education system is. How can it so effectively continue to fail to provide social mobility at scale? Where is all this money being spent? Not at least on teachers' salaries, I guess?
But if not spending, how else could "the country" care about the children?

Or you're saying that no amount of money can replace a caring parent?
I'd argue you don't, depending on what you consider "successful"

This is related to Japanese work culture, not extra work hours. It just happens that Japanese work culture also has much higher hours worked compared to the US or Europe. In my opinion it's absolutely insane.
In contrast to FreeCAD I have been using openSCAD. You define basic 3D objects and do transforms, etc on them. It's kind of programming, more like a domain specific language.

Here's a tube, which we can think about like the difference of two cylinders.

Writing and refactoring into modules (functions) is very natural and allowed me to get more perspective about the relationships of my models

module Tube(height, width, thickness) {
difference() {
cylinder(h=height, r=width);
cylinder(h=height,r=width-thickness);
};
};
Definitely some rough edges, and like most CAD systems it has a pretty steep initial learning curve, but I've been surprised at how useful it is. Finding a recent youtube tutorial or two can help with getting started (sadly the wiki/docs are a bit sparse).

I feel like it's not as far along as say KiCad or Blender as far as "competitive with commercial offerings" open source tooling goes, but development is very active and it seems to be improving at an impressive rate.
You need the money, people pretends like changing jobs is easy, it is not the case for most people. Also, if the leaders cheat why the employees at the bottom should care for it? are they paid enough to care? they are not going to earn so much from the success of the company and not loose so much from the failure. They are just employees

Sure! I bought this HAT : https://www.pishop.us/product/pijuice-hat-a-portable-power-p...
and I also bought the AUKEY model pb-t3 16000mAh as an external battery, as it was recommended for this setup by people on the Raspberry forums. You can charge the HAT 4 times, or your Ipad.

The battery lasts long enough, I run some services and some other tools and the HAT alone will last you a day or so. If you do something like video encoding, it will burn quicker obviously. Think phone battery levels of juice with the HAT.
