The government excluding, oppressing, murdering based on race ... so the American south was socialist then right?
Italics change the semantic meaning of text too, but they're still rich text, not plaintext. Unicode has been generally taken the attitude that Unicode is for plaintext, not rich text, even if it's stretched the meaning of that a bit. (There's also the time they goofed up and added interlinear annotation, which is pretty clearly not plaintext, but they've since discouraged the use of that and I don't think they want to make any more mistakes like that.)
This feels like a bit of a bikeshed. There are problems with many configuration languages. I don't see anything related to yaml on their issue tracker.
You could, for example, compile AOT to a JSON file and build everything deterministically from there. Tell devs to not edit that JSON directly. I believe NPM and Yarn do something similar.
Majority rule and “pure” democracy is not intrinsically good. Giving disproportionate voting power to residents of smaller states is a feature, not a bug. If you want more senatorial voting power, move to Wyoming.
You've articulated your problem well, and though that looks like a problem to you, in real life it is not, but you are too young to understand that. Questioning your ability is sign of desire to get better and that is more important than the ability to solve problems in a time box. Question yourself more, act on whatever you decide on. Intelligence follows.

Though I have lot of experience in IT, I go and attend the interviews which are way below my pay grade with no desire to join them from time to time. I fail most of them. I get insulted. They inspire me to learn more and I am old enough to understand that interviews are not true platforms of test of intelligence and I do not consider myself a super smart guy.

On the other hand, I interview a lot to hire software engineers into my team where I strongly believe my failures in those interviews had made me a better manager. I know what are the qualities I need to look for in people when I hire them.

I know failures hurt. You have to accept the pain and focus on learning from them.

I too was baffled by this post. Here's something that goes into a lot more detail: Short version, someone found an exploit that allows them to create NFTs that were allegedly created by a particular artist (but were actually not). https://news.artnet.com/opinion/sleepminting-nftheft-monsieu...
As an AT&T Unix/Solaris/HPUX/NetBSD/Linux embedded developer for the last 35+ years, I find this quite useful. While I still have two machines (Windows 10 + Ubuntu 18.04) I can see this progress leading to a point where I have one machine doing both. I just need them to get qemu-arm working correctly on X86 to support ARM target development. Hopefully they'll get qemu-risc-v working, because I can see RISC-V in my future.
It's kind of odd that they are advertising this now just as Microsoft is trying to get everyone to ditch on-prem AD. Is it just them saying "we ship SSSD in the default install now, so you can buy support from us!", or what?

Some way of signing into Ubuntu with a custom SAML provider would be very cool. Windows supports it via their "credential provider"[0] framework and Google uses that to provide sign-in for Windows with your GSuite credentials.

I use tmux almost as much as bash. And if you use a Mac with Iterm2, you can use tmux the way you're imagining.

The primary advantage is the same reason I still use vim a lot - speed and efficiency. There is just no comparison to GUI tooling. But I readily admit a lot of it is familiarity - I know and like my tools, and there's no advantage gained by changing.
how does it differs from iTerm2?
Or different styles of learning! Some languages are really good in situ for debugging and solving problems, some are more opaque and require looking things up.

Also 'brown' languages being older and more established, there are plenty of older engineers who RTFM first, look at man pages first, etc then ask questions.
If they’re anticompetitive, as you seem to allow, then they should definitely not be treated separately. If Apple is purposefully undermining their competitors to build their own business they should be held to account. Charge the companies and charge the individuals.

> To do this, Congress should pass legislation reducing the size of Washington, D.C., to an area encompassing only a few core federal buildings and then admit the rest of the District’s 127 neighborhoods as states. These states — which could be added with a simple congressional majority — would add enough votes in Congress to ratify four amendments: (1) a transfer of the Senate’s power to a body that represents citizens equally; (2) an expansion of the House so that all citizens are represented in equal-sized districts; (3) a replacement of the Electoral College with a popular vote; and (4) a modification of the Constitution’s amendment process that would ensure future amendments are ratified by states representing most Americans.

I've long believed that city-states would be a good way to remedy unequal representation, but this plan is hamhanded and has some pretty obvious failure modes.

First and most obvious is that civil war is a topic of open discussion, and this would go down like a match in a flour silo. Second is the incredible optimism that the people of these 127 freshly minted states would vote the way they're told, and not, say, rewrite the constitution in a way that cements their supermajority status.
The software we use is easy to remove, and students have a lot of software installed on their private machines already, some of it more invasive in software terms (e.g. games with anti-cheating features). I have more qualms about the software and the privacy implications than the students do, and I'm resigned to it for now; the students just went ahead and installed it without comment.

I've never seen someone succeed at giving an objective explanation. Anecdotally and subjectively, functional programming is a different type of thinking about a problem... Instead of breaking it down into stages, I'm almost breaking it down into a graph and figuring out how the nodes must connect. LISP is also like this.

I wouldn't be surprised if cognitive modeling shows that graph-manipulation engages different chunks of one's brain than step-by-step procedural description, but I do not know.
HTML is in both dreaded and loved list. It isn't even a programming language.

I think you've missed the boat slightly. I maintained a VB6 application. I disliked doing that not because it was old, but because the code base was created into many projects, some I had no source for. Independent of that I wouldn't choose VB6 for a new project because it lacked stack traces and wasn't cross platform.

Java: I don't care to program in it because the IDEs are so heavy and I don't like how the ecosystem has grown up.

Go: I don't like it because it is "new" (over 10 years old), I like it because it has reflection and stack traces, it is easy to write in a lighter environment, it is cross platform, it is typed, and it prefers explicit usually. I have a large application written largely in Go. But I don't think about writing in Go. I think about the domain; Go is almost incidental.

Yes, many immature developers hate old code. I don't hate C++ directly, but if you've ever had to work with a C++ code base with 3 types of strings then you may dislike working with C++ ecosystem you've ran into.

People don't dread assembly because it is "old". People dread it because you can blow your foot of without realizing it, but it is still necessary today.

Specifics matter. "Old" doesn't cause it to be "bad". Foot guns and and lack of easily reproducible environments (I'm looking at you R) are "bad".

I've been using it with an AMD RX580 driving a 32" 4K monitor for a couple of years now and it just about works perfectly for my needs, including playing a few games through Steam. The only issue I have is that for some reason I occasionally cant alt-tab to the keepassxc window under gnome after I start it up. If you use Linux on the desktop and don't otherwise require an nvidia card (cuda, etc) it is worth while to switch to an AMD card or to spec one for a new build.
From what I can tell, Foxconn never actually intended to build the plant. (I'm getting a lot of this from an interesting long-form article on the history of this deal; unfortunately, I don't remember where I found this article, sorry).

Essentially, Foxconn thought that the Wisconsin deal would work more typically as its deals in China went. Glad-hand the government officials, get sweetheart deals on land and investment, and as long as you're not totally incompetent in making use of it, they won't care what you do with it, even if you fail to live up to the original promises. It's not clear to me that Foxconn actually seriously considered producing LCD screens here given this light; the announcement would have been more to make Walker and other government officials ecstatic about the deal than an actual commitment to follow through. The fact that outrage towards the deal would lead to Walker losing reelection and his successor keeping a much closer eye on performance (or lack thereof) seems to me to have caught Foxconn completely off-guard.

I think there's another level going here in relation to internal Foxconn politics, but my recollection is too hazy to make a coherent explanation, and I don't want to make any false accusations here, so I won't go into any more detail.
I do most of my work (embedded development) ssh'd into a few linux boxen at the office which can reach my test devices and various other bits and bobs.

I'm pretty happy running full text mode editing in emacs (-nw, ftw :) and a few other shells for tasks I haven't incorporated into emacs yet. Speed is nice, even over a vpn, which running anything graphical is somewhat grim.

Still, the killer feature with screen multiplexers (in my case, tmux, but this isn't unique to tmux) for me is the fact that the tools preserve state, so I can start a long job and it won't be interrupted, even if the connection drops. I just log back in and reattach and everything is just like it was.

Sure there are other ways to do that, but having it neatly wrapped up and always on is really a game-changer for me.
Also a Wisconsinite here. I've been involved with the deal and haven't noticed any care about any watershed related things. Most of the business they've attracted so far are companies who want contract manufacturing outside of mainland China. The large "screen factory" is still largely empty, and they have no concrete plans for it, but the side projects which piggybacked on to that plan have seen some success.

Unlike eBay, with Bitcoin I can transact nearly instantly and without going through any middle men like PayPal and the like. This is huge.

I still can't reconcile zfs in the installer. There's no warnings or information upfront about how you will make your filesystem into a nice brick if you upgrade your linux kernel and forget that your filesystem has to be manually upgraded with that kernel version.

Distros should not include filesystems that aren't in the kernel in their official installer. Fedora made the right decisions with btrfs. If users want zfs they don't need the official installer for it.

I think this theory is not accurate and not useful due to Simpson's Paradox, which I learned about recently in this great post by vladoh in regards to Tesla crash reports. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26855608

I have an alternate theory. Junior developers prefer languages they learned to program in or closest to it, while senior developers like languages that make is easiest to express a problem solution and this consideration includes the library ecosystem.

I'd like to see this article again rewritten in terms of developer experience.
I'm particularly interested in why several languages show up on both lists, namely SQL, Scala, Haskell, Shell, and HTML if you count it.

One possible explanation (that supports the author's main thesis) would be that three out of five of these are unlikely to be the main language for a project, but rather a supporting language. In other words, SQL and shell are just as likely to show up in a green-field project as in a brown-field project, because we still use SQL to communicate with database same as 20 years ago, and we still use shell scripts to tie it all together.

No idea how one would test this hypothesis, however. And I still don't have an explanation for why Scala and Haskell are both loved and hated.

Go to jail? Who is going to make them? You have a centralized compartmentalized military and society where one literally controls many.

A big problem and reason why "brown" languages come to be dreaded is because very few software houses take code UX seriously.

I've worked on codebases built with UX in mind and codebases without, and it's a world of difference.

Code with UX has descriptive names, functions whose names intuitively describe what they do, using parameters that can't be accidentally misused. APIs are clearly delineated, domain edges clearly defined. Reading such code feels almost like reading a high level recipe, with the nitty gritty details available on demand using CMD-click. Weird edge case code is documented with a block comment explaining why it was done in this unexpected way. Nesting is minimal. Aptly named temp variables that only exist to aid readability are common.

And the irony of it all is that by eschewing code UX, you're mortgaging your future: making it progressively harder to maintain your codebase, and harder to bring new people up to speed. Changes take longer, and testing is more difficult as fewer and fewer people understand what it's doing.
I am forced to wonder if releasing code while on vacation is not itself an overwhelmingly more serious fuckup than anything that happened in it.

Then, doing it again.
> If the lower taxes are good for creating jobs at net gain to the local economy, then the lower rate should be applied equally among all similarly taxed entities.

I agree with the premise here, but in reality, you can see that won't actually work.

You have existing businesses in an area paying a certain amount in taxes. You want to attract a new major business. If you lower your taxes for all the businesses in hopes of attracting the new business, you just lost a huge chunk of revenue for something that might not come to fruition. Whereas if you don't lower your taxes, that new business has no incentive to go with your locale, and will instead, settle somewhere there is an already established talent-base/infrastructure/etc. Furthering the economic inequality between the regions.

I am not a fan of these tax incentives, but I can't blame these places for using them.

No they’re not. Superscripts and subscripts in English as used in literature may be a typesetting concern but that’s not their only purpose. Eg in chemical notations or in mathematical text it is not a matter of typesetting but an actual separate symbol with distinct semantics.

This Earth Day, turn your funeral into an ecoburial
I share the following rule with younger developers and try to hold myself to it as well:

If you look back at code you wrote 12 months ago and don't think, "Ewww, what was I thinking here and why did I write it this way?", then you're not growing as an engineer. For very beginners, I change that to 4-6 months depending on how fast they're picking it up.
It hurts seeing Ruby listed as a dreaded language. I think what is actually dreaded is Rails, and the terrible, awful, no-good things PM's forced it to do in the 2010's.

I'm a Python developer now, but I still miss the ease of writing code in Ruby. I find it a cushy, intuitive activity, and I wish it was used for something other than hulking, poorly scaled/planned out web apps of yesterdecade.

You probably need to consider the wider impact, not just Wisconsin. This was national news (I'm international and I remember reading about it) and would have contributed to his supporters general perception that he was delivering on promises. This isn't really an area where we can single Trump out as he was just being a normal politician here. It's common to announce an amazing deal with a big fanfare which then either fails to materialise, is in fact not as amazing as the headlines claim it to be, or includes previously agreed policies or agreements that are claimed once again as new. This is just typical PR (unfortunately).

Indeed, it's difficult to be isolated and split into smaller blocks (functions/classes/whatever). Effectively it's one massive statement with different clauses and data that's entirely publicly accessible in all aspects, no encapsulation and so on.

> I assume engineering positions are on the top bracket of salary distribution.

No, not really. Unlike in the US, other professions still make more to much more. Engineering pays same to slightly more. Tenured professors make more than most SWEs, but there are some SWEs who make more than that. Lawyers and notaries make much more. Doctors of course make much more. I bet architects make more as well but this one I have not checked. Any credentialed financial job makes at least as much. Managers in any industry will make more than any typical SWE (being a manager is how you typically break into the six figure range).
But to answer your question, mortgages are affordable and most people rent.

I disagree. Part of what I love about the Linux culture is that it gives me the freedom to tinker. The Ubuntu installer makes it absolutely clear that ZFS is still experimental, but it still lets me play with it. Granted, I swiftly broke my OS and moved away from ZFS when I tried it, but I like that it let me do that.

Facebook runs ads and tracking inside the Facebook app. Apple isn't stopping them from doing that, it's just making users aware of how that sausage is made. It's not like they are showing their own ads inside of the Facebook app.

The App Store today is barely any less skeevy that app stores of old, like GetJar.com or whatever I was downloading apps on for my Win Mobile 6.1 BlackJack phone in 2007. If they choose to weigh it down with even more ads, that's their prerogative.
