Sure, no tool is perfect.

For me though, making sure keyboard navigation works properly early on speeds up the develop and test cycle. I also think that in many cases, perfect ends up the enemy of the good. It's a different conversation if a disabled person contacts someone about a site with a suggestion for improvement rather than it doesn't work at a all.
It would be a shame if an "anonymous hacker" "hacked" @floesen_, found their notes about the RCE and released it to public, accidentally of course.
This sucks. Firefox actually works great on FireTV Stick, unlike many other apps available for the device. It is useful for loading stream sites that don’t have apps; e.g. Stanford Puffer.
Even ignoring the weight. I wonder what would have been the efficiency. As I would say that is the main point of bicycle.

All of the losses would likely add up and make up something that is rather unpreferable to drive and use. Anyone who have used very poorly maintained bicycle know that it's not fun.
I disagree. Getting to a basic level of accessibility (e.g. WCAG AA) is incredibly easy. Any public accommodation can easily afford it.

A blog is not a public accommodation, so it does not have any accessibility requirement.
Starlink would also give a realistic option to deploy a communal ISP somewhere isolated.
My guess is that it's always communicating with the Satellites to adjust its position.

One of the problems, especially but not exclusively at the high school level, is that you often haven't been exposed to the math (or other foundational information) that you need to derive things from more or less first principles. Physics is probably the most obvious example. You need Calculus to derive many of the formulae in high school physics but the average student probably hasn't had Calculus yet so they're just equations to memorize.
My editor has tab completion, it's not like you have to type every character. I prefer it for readability but it's definitely debatable.
Normally, I can handle some cheating in games, you just kinda deal with it, but holy fuck csgo was just nope. Between foul mouthed children and essentially watching God hackers play against eachother while you just die over and over.

Yeah....no not exactly fun.
The Perils of Overhyping Artificial Intelligence
My somewhat vague sense is that Firefox only ever supported Amazon devices because of a partnership. The partnership ended and there wasn't any other reason to maintain support.

In turn Amazon only partnered because there wasn't a YouTube app, and via Firefox they could support YouTube. But they reached a deal with YouTube (maybe using Firefox as leverage), so it didn't matter to them any longer.
It tastes better when your taste buds age. It was gross until I was about 24 then it became delicious.

This is why when the price of beer went up 18+ people stopped buying it because they only used to buy it as a cheap way to get drunk. Drinks companies switched to making extremely sweet alcoholic drinks to counteract that and marketed them towards this audience to make up the loss.

I used to work in advertising and worked on marketing one of these a products so this is what I heard from one of the worlds largest breweries while doing it.
If you cherry pick the US S&P (over international, and over small cap), I’m allowed to cherry pick hedge funds.

Many funds consistently outperform the S&P by 2-3X over 30-40 years. Minimum investment, $5-10M, of course.

Buy and hold is the best option for those under USD $10 million net worth, but you must acknowledge there are semi-closed funds/prop trading firms that consistently beat the market.
I'm guessing you are in the US. Some states require that businesses accept cash. If you are in such state, then you should remind these businesses of the law.
It's called "Howdy Stranger", it's listed in both Firefox and Chrome official add-on stores.
This article is actually a fabulous account of Larry Page’s development as a CEO and leader at Google.

I wasn’t expecting to read the whole thing, but I really enjoyed it.
There's no such thing as passive income; there's only delayed income. You're not getting paid for nothing; you're getting paid for putting in the work ahead of time. What's wrong with that?

I never claimed everyone has the same hourly income. Nor should they. Some people work hard (on their career - not necessarily at their current job!), others take it easy. Both are valid options, but there will be consequences for the respective groups (both good and bad).

If you're against inherited wealth, I expect you to leave none to your own children. Respect if you actually go through with this.
I have been wondering the same thing. I would have thought the oleo strut would have all the moving parts you would need for such a gauge, lacking only a position sensor (perhaps temerature-compensated.)

Not only would you get weight, but also the center of gravity location, which can be deadly if out of limits.

> Since they broke VoIP background notifications, developers have no way to reliably perform silent delivery of information to device.

Surely you mean fixed, not broken, as absolutely no one should be delivering information silently to a device they don't own.
Then it seems like from a policy standpoint, you actually agree with Alina Chan, David Relman, Richard Ebright, etc. that a forensic investigation (i.e., an investigation that doesn't rely entirely on trust of the people providing information, similar to a financial audit) of the WIV's samples and records is necessary? That would imply you disagree with the Chinese government and with the WHO team's report, whose conclusion that lab origin was "extremely unlikely" was generally taken as meaning no further study of that scenario was required.

In any case, I certainly have work that I should be doing too, though lower-stakes than your exam. I'm not looking for solace or blame here; I just don't want another pandemic. Certainly this one might have been caused by exotic wildlife trading, or guano collection by farmers, or other nonscientific activity, and those activities should be restricted. But unless and until the WIV's collection and lab manipulation of novel potential pandemic pathogens can be confidently excluded as the cause, I don't see why anyone would permit that work either.

I'd privately guess that the Chinese government has already imposed such restrictions, and that while Shi's group may still publish occasionally for the sake of appearances their volume of risky research will fall sharply--the CCP doesn't want to lose face, but they don't want another pandemic either. Of course there's no way to confirm or refute that prediction but to wait and see.

Final note, I see that you wrote your "CoVID-19 did not come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology" post about a year ago. At the time, I would have mostly agreed with you; but since then no proximal animal host has been found, and quite a lot of Chinese-government obstruction has been. It's uncomfortable to adjust a position when you've previously made a strong statement; but that's a lot better than getting locked in to a position that you adopted based on less evidence than is available today.

Anyways, good luck on your exam. I'll continue to do everything I can to ensure that my group's designs don't explode or catch fire, and I hope you'll do the same with the risk that your (prospective) group starts a pandemic.
The homepage says that Kitten has (will have?) memory management with no garbage collection, and yet the introduction shows that each item on the stack can represent arbitrarily large lists, trees, etc. How might this be implemented?
>I’m pretty sure all the big financial institutions also calculate their own scores. I can see it when I login to BoA, Chase, Citi, etc.

When I log into my Wells Fargo account, I get a FICO 9 Score from Experian data. When I log into my Citibank account, I get a FICO Bankcard 8 Score from Equifax data. When I log into my PenFed account I get a FICO 9 Score from Equifax data.

The single common denominator is FICO.
Yeah; or it’s a sign they just have terrible judgement. “What makes a good programmer? Programming is like math right? Let’s assess that!?”

The trick for code readability is to always make the compiler do the math. const time_ms = 30 * 1000; This is much easier to read and maintain.
It already exists: GHB. The problem is the drug’s reputation and the problem with dosage, which could be alleviated when legalized. It’s also addictive but then again, so is alcohol but alcohol wrecks your health.
Alcohol is a neurotoxin and causes brain damage. Drink it if you want, it's no better than illegal drugs people consume for pleasure though. At least some of those aren't neurotoxic...
Instead of just all-cause mortality, measure health and quality of life, as well. I know someone with a seizure disorder from drinking, and someone with heart problems from alcohol. It's yet to be determined whether or not alcohol will contribute to their deaths because they are still alive.

However, their quality of life is certainly lower than it was before alcohol. They require daily medications with side-effects, need to see expensive specialists, require expensive lab work to be run regularly, and have to worry about what happens should they go without their medication (ie suffer brain damage from seizing, have a heart attack, and/or die).

Moving into clamp is problematic since you’d make clamp destructive. You couldn’t use any of the arguments after clamp.

Non const refs seems like a weird idea (what if I got a const ref from my callee? Why can’t I clamp?).

Good analogy. I'd say the efficient markets hypothesis would be better interpreted as "you cannot deterministically identify an inefficiency", i.e. you're always assuming some amount of risk with any trade. You could probably make a similar case for improvements more abstractly - you cannot be perfectly confident a priori that something will be net value additive over the previous configuration.
> If compilation is explicit, it's not a JIT.

You have machine code generation at run-time, you can then make arbitrary decisions for when to do the code generation. Explain how this is not a JavaScript JIT compiler when you run it in ECL: https://github.com/akapav/js/blob/master/js.lisp#L72

> That's why I said SBCL's LOAD and REPL (which decides between interpreting and compiling) is arguably JIT.

SBCL does not really have an interpreter (it started out without any kind of interpreter at all), it only has a compiler. No wonder you misunderstood my point about SBCL.

> that doesn't meet the bar for being a JIT anymore than a C program that distributes plugins as source and compiles them to load the .so is.

Let's try to rephrase that a little bit: "that doesn't meet the bar for being a JIT anymore than a [web browser] program that distributes [loads] plugins [JavaScript] as source and compiles them to load the .so [machine code] is."
Well you can keep arguing based on your feelings. I'm arguing based on data. You can choose to ignore that data and try your luck. Just recognize your past performance will not guarantee future returns.
Is it? Robinhood allows you to trade for free, but that's not the whole story. Bid-ask spreads add an implicit fee to each transaction. This is small for highly liquid stocks, but buying blue chip stocks directly also isn't exactly exciting. If you want the excitement of gambling you'd need to either use margin (borrowing fees) or options (worse spread).

That makes no sense. The claim I'm disputing is of form "X is true for everyone". A single counter-example is sufficient to disprove a claim of this form. Grandparent claimed that everyone would be better off investing passively than actively. So a single counter-example of a genius like Simons is sufficient to disprove that claim.
As if the crime has been generated on purpose so that banks and Orwellian agendas get their way.
still, compile time would have been correct. if the checks were at runtime, it wouldn't be different from a GC.
A lot of what you're saying translates, at least in my reading of it, to "I don't trust the people that work for me". I don't know that I could work with a team like that.
Maybe because its written like a Hollywood Movie Plot!

"It was just five years since Page, then a 22-year-old graduate student at Stanford, was struck in the middle of the night with a vision. In it, he somehow managed to download the entire Web and by examining the links between the pages he saw the world’s information in an entirely new way."
With a UEFI-GPT setup two ESPs (one for each OS) and you're good. Now that I have no software bootloaders, which need to know about multiple OSs, I only need to use BIOS' own boot device selector on startup.
I view those more as stickiness than as moats. They help you retain existing customers but don't make the product more valuable for new customers.

Scale advantages are the exception. If the costs of your product or service drop dramatically with scale, then you can lower prices to a level where you still make a profit but competitors can't compete.

The complicated most is the logistics network. That is definitely a moat against new entrants, but not against large existing logistics networks like Uber or DoorDash.
> This is true historically.

Nope, this is false. Please look up the historical performance of Renaissance Technologies Medallion Fund.
I am not even saying that. As technologists, we have a TON of impact into our own hire ability and incomes. More than people realize.

For example, I looked at the blog author's LinkedIn profile. Regardless of his level, it's not a good profile in terms of presenting his maturity as a technologist and ability to deliver outcomes. Which lowers his odds of being noticed by good recruiters even at his current caliber of dev. To at least some degree, this contributes to the negative experience he is having.
> The downside is that if it does happen, we'll probably have some ill-conceived gov regulations that half-work and half are a pain in the ass.

I'm not sure I buy this apathetic cliche. Can we look at history for examples? Say railroads or the phone company? Were those regulations ill conceived?
>I think Logitech is the Google of input devices. And not in a good way.

This encapsulates my view and experience.

In the case of Google, I have learnt not to rely upon their services, and trained myself to move quickly through the stages of grief to find alternatives. As for Logitech, although, I mourn the death of Squeezebox, and have generally stuck to mice and keyboards ─ they are still somewhat replaceable. However, the news of killing Harmony is making me feel really anxious. I have some old devices, where the remotes are either lost or damaged, and there are no decent alternatives, to replicate all the features in an 'all-in-one' or universal format.

I would sincerely hope Logitech sees some sense and open source the firmware, and also do the decent thing by letting the community support the software and maintain the database, instead of letting their devices end up in the graveyard.
> Although it’s possible to join using a WHERE clause (an implicit join), prefer an explicit JOIN instead, as the ON keyword can take advantage of the database’s index.

This implies that WHERE style join can't use indices.

I can understand why some would prefer either syntax for readability/style reasons. But the idea that one uses indices and the other not, seems highly dubious.

Looking at the postgres manual [1], the WHERE syntax is clearly presented as the main way of inner joining tables. The JOIN syntax is described as an "alternative syntax":

> This [INNER JOIN] syntax is not as commonly used as the one above, but we show it here to help you understand the following topics.

Maybe some database somewhere cannot optimise queries properly unless JOIN is used? Or is this just FUD?

Sure, you are right, but even with that definition somebody could have just bought Apple/Google/Amazon/Facebook/Tesla/ other high growth stocks/Bitcoin 10 years ago, and just waited.

I see more of this kind of active investing happening (people reading Tesla blogs and going to meetups as an example, deconstructing software updates to see how the models are being ported 1-by-1 to the new framework. Financial advirsors generally don't do this in depth due diligents for products (or at least I haven't met any).

As an example I read through a part of the Bitcoin source code to see how well it's written before investing in it, and I haven't seen any financial advisor who even looked at its github repo, and they already have opinion on it.
> due to Valve's internal structure (or lack thereof) there really isn't any incentive for anyone to fix them

This seems to be a common theme with problems at Valve.
The problem is cellphone sellers on Aliexpress frequently are simple scams.

I.e. you buy something from a seemingly not complete scam seller with few hundred of reviews, you get your tracking number, but nothing actually arrives despite tracking showing somebody in your country claiming the package.
Adobe has the money and prestige to be able to hire and retain very good people to work on Photoshop. I expect that the codebase is very high quality for one that is more than 30 years old.
> although Apple hardware has support but it's not enabled in software.

Nope - HomePod mini has thread enabled. That’s the only thread device I’ve seen from apple so far, but I expect that all future ‘home hub’ capable device would support it as well.
Can you be more specific than "fatigue"? That sounds like ennui, in which case maybe consider a job switch instead of a language switch (not being sarcastic or intentionally mean). Bash plus all the Unix tools (awk, grep, sed, tsort, comm, the ones I don't know, etc.) have pretty long legs, in terms of functionality and the syntax is pretty understandable. They provide most of what Perl offers, apart from OO (-ish) and line noise.

If you want strong typing (are you scripting in the large?), then, almost by definition, no scripting language provides that. If you need performance, switch to a compiled language (or a jit-compiled interpreted language) that most of your co-workers understand.

If Python brings too many dependencies, I guess you're trying to do something that is way out of the realm of possibility for bash, so you're not looking for an "alternative" to bash, you're looking for the best language for whatever project you're undertaking. And you may not be able to get away from the dependencies if you're trying something specific/sophisticated.
There are plenty of communities built around it such as The Points Guy, who has thousands of followers.

It all depends on what you want to get out of it. I don't make a living off points, but it's certainly been profitable for me as someone who pays off my cards in full every month. For reference, the signing bonus that was offered when I got the Sapphire Reserve (100K points, though it's been dropped since) was more than high enough to pay for my annual fee for the entire time I've had it so far, so everything I've paid for with points (which is thousands of dollars) has been pure profit.
This is a treatise against ‘greed’ that flows into wanting UBI.

There’s also this snippet that I found out of place and pretty jarring: “... it having a multitude of popular proponents with extreme viewpoints such as “animals have no rights”, or the right to bear arms which strikes me as vile, unethical, and borderline insane”

Wow.
Stock picking basically has random outcomes. Sure, you may have a few lucky wins in the short term. But over time, your losing bets tend to outnumber your winning bets, and your returns experience what's called reversion to the mean.

This phenomenon has been shown repeatedly in studies of trading behaviour among individual investors (e.g. [1] and [2]), who have been found to collectively destroy wealth for all other investors. Only an absolutely minuscule proportion of traders actually beat the market.

As with any casino, there are winners and losers. But usually the house wins.

Well, there are two important limiting cases when it comes to minimising WIP: zero and one.

Assuming your work is productive in the first place, zero WIP would be bad.

One WIP, known as "single piece flow" is actually the ultimate optimisation in production. So from that perspective, optimising and minimising is the same thing.
You can either not write about something OR blame it as part of the problem, but not BOTH ?!?

In [3] :

> Marx did not elaborate on his reasons for writing that Irish immigration reduced English workers’ wages. He implied that the cause was an oversupply of manual laborers, but his other statements indicate that he considered English xenophobia and the resulting antagonism among workers an even greater problem.

[...]

> In his 1870 letter, Marx described what he then considered the overriding priority for labor organizing in England: “to make the English workers realize that for them the national emancipation of Ireland is not a question of abstract justice or humanitarian sentiment but the first condition of their own social emancipation.”
When the first plane crashed into the North Tower that was a small sample size. Probably an accident.

Sixteen minutes later when the second plane crashed into the South Tower, that was still an incredibly low sample size, but you could say with very high confidence that it wasn't an accident.
> Where exactly do you think these assets came from?

Where did your assets come from? If you own land, you bought it from someone. They bought it from someone. Go far enough back in history, and you'll find the beginning of that chain starts with someone being fucked over violently. Generally, we put it down to "time immemorial" and leave it at that. But if you want to give up your assets to those they were stolen from, go right ahead.
Five Dysfunctions of a Team completely was absolutely revolutionary for me and my team. It's not about MBTI at all, but MBTI is just a tool it mentions to help with dysfunction one.

Here are the five dysfunctions:

The foundational dysfunction is a lack of trust -- trust defined as belief that your skill weaknesses and deficiencies will not be used against you. So people conceal weaknesses and don't ask for help from each other, etc.

This leads to fear of (healthy, productive) conflict -- you don't hash things out, but rather any meaningful discussion gets suppressed. Creates an environment where back-channeling and politics thrive, etc.

This leads to lack of commitment -- the team has not really had heathy, productive conflict/discussion so they don't buy into decisions. There is ambiguity about direction and priorities.

This leads to avoidance of accountability.

This leads to inattention to results.
