The main missing feature of Notepad++ for me (which unfortunately seems to still not be available) is the "Fuzzy File Finder" i.e press a shortcut (usually ctrl+p), display a checkbox in which you can write a part of the full filename and immediately get suggestions of the file with an option to open/edit it using enter.

This is a well known feature which I use all the time and is implemented in most editors (for example in VS Code using ctrl+p or using the ctrlp plugin in vim). Until it is implemented I can't really use notepad++ for anything more than a quick edit like notepad :(

The other notepad++ missing feature (for me) is the "quick return to previous editing buffer" (like the <C-^> ctrl+shift+6 shortcut in vim). Actually I have implemented this particular feature in a plugin for VSCode for people missing it (like me): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Serafeim...

That doesn't sound worse than not naming the inputs or coding the buttons for keyboard interaction, things inexperienced developers will do if they're not educated in the basics of semantic HTML (even those who do use inputs too often neglect to associate a <label> where they're called for).
Off-topic, but did Bezos just do plastic surgery?
It depends on how much knowledge you need to read each line. The other factor is how much work the code does.

When it comes to Clojure or any kind of functional language or construct, those describe the "what"; what is the author trying to do, what should the code do.

If you go for imperative code, it quickly becomes more about the "how". Loops are a great example; in functional languages and constructs, you say "filter, then map, then reduce". In an iterative language, you say "Create a variable I, then start a loop, check if it's below length of list, increment, get element I from list X", etc, you get the idea.

The functional approach has a definite advantage here because - as long as you understand the language and constructs - it hides the implementation details and the exact approach to execution. A functional approach under water can transparently parallelize the request, even going as far as it becoming a distributed hadoop map/reduce job. Can't do that with a for loop.

Anyway, I forgot where I was going with this. The 20 lines can be fine if the one-liner is complicated.

The US isn't a giant monolith although the rest of the world likes to treat it as such. Life on the coasts is very different than life everywhere else.

Some dealers are basically in the business of originating loans.

It all depends on how the owner happens to structure the business.

Often you'll have multiple dealers in the same network that take a different route because that's what works for their brand and location niches.

Speaking of openings referring death, I particularly like the one on The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas, from Machado de Assis:

PS: it's not exactly an opening line, it's a dedication. But I think it performs the same function in this case.
I believe that GitHub problem is that people not into software development are pushing those actually developing at a very low developer/user ratio, it always feels like a never ending task and people won't ever stop asking features as they got used to see Corp projects next to project garages in the same service?

To release way less often has been one of the best changes I've made and also dual licensing. If people will get me a hard time then pay for that part of the development.
I disagree. “Semi” means half, i.e., less than. But all things being equal, if a meeting is held “half as much as annually,” I would expect it to occur every 2 years, not twice as often as annually.

I think it has the same issue as biannually or biweekly.
I was being pretty inflammatory with that, no doubt. The US also has some of the most advanced healthcare in the world, so it's not accurate in that dimension. But what good is that if it's not accessible?

For some US' citizens, there may as well be no healthcare, as they're not willing to take on the burden of medical debt. They could technically access it, but not without changing the course of their life for the worse forever. That's not an issue for citizens in most developed nations.

There are countries far far lower on the economic leaderboard than the US who do provide reasonable access to healthcare for their citizens, and of course the majority of developed nations do as well. The US is behind, and it's not because of increased opportunity.

>>They do not want to pay anymore than they have to for anything

So let me ask you, when you take your car in for service and the mechanic says "that will be $100", do you say "no no I can afford $150 so that is what I am going to pay"?

it seems odd to me that you believe only farmers do not want to pay "more than they have to for anything", I am pretty sure that applies to all persons, and all businesses

> but a very large order from a client with a confidentiality clause ( very common in the industry) was widely known to be the main reason for short supply.

So, just for the fun of it: Forbes estimates a capacity (at the time) of up to 12 EB [1]. Assuming they used 3TB drives, they'd need 4 million drives for this [2]. This article [3] shows the market for consumer drives at about 150 million in 2013 (figure 7). So the NSA order would've been in the ballpark of 2% of consumer drives sales - insanely large at the face of it, yes, but probably not enough to cause such a shortage.

Another idea for Wikipedia 2.0 is make the basic unit a "statement" rather than an "article". When Google Knol came out and called a Knol a unit of knowledge, I was excited that this was what they were going for, but sadly it was not to be. Now that we have GPT-3 like technology, it wouldn't be hard to generate generally readable prose from a database of statements. Each statement can be verified independently from each other, and can appear in multiple articles.

E.g.

> I assume something similar can be done in C with no loss of performance under most compilers, since unwrapping a single-field struct is an optimization that a compiler should pick up on every time.

For external functions, it's not an optimization but an ABI requirement (for at least some ABIs) and even for TU-internal functions compilers tend to stick closely to the ABI.
to suggest that gain of function research is not in service to bio weapon development is tantamount to suggesting the United States went to the moon purely for scientific purposes

I am somewhat uneducated on the topic but is space tourism a good idea? It is a flight to nowhere which surely has a hefty carbon cost. Doesn't it also add pollutants high up in the atmosphere?

As exciting as it is to experience space I could imagine the environment cost is far from ideal.
You can get an awesome speedup for Levenshtein distance if your application only needs to compare for an edit distance of 1 (often you don't need more than that).

Just tweak the algorithm to remove the extra branches beyond that. This can really help where you have a few hundred thousand strings in memory and where you only have a few ms to spare for things like auto-complete.

I'm surprised that there is any need for an explicit dark-mode, and that Notepad++ wouldn't just pick up the system colors; it's old enough that it was customary to do that, and use the system named colors instead of specifying RGBs for control colors.

Anyone can just do it.

They literally can't though. Only the owner or a maintainer has permission to merge PRs in to the main branch. Anyone can fork a repo, write a patch, and PR it, but that's where outside contributions stop. It still takes someone from the original team to accept a contribution. Forking a project and then maintaining that fork as a separate project is an option, but it's divisive one that a lot of the community will react badly to if they see it as a hostile takeover or if there's a change in goal (eg making a commercial product out of the abandoned project.)
BDFN: benevolent dictator for now
I'll give you some food for thought.

During WW2 Allies bombed 3rd reich's weapon factories, and occupied French cities. A lot of civilians died, really a lot.

Do you think semi-enslaved German citizens working in 3rd reich's weapon factories wanted any much less to have these factories bombed?

Do you think French under German occupation wanted any much less to have British bomb the occupied cities?

No, survivors recall it seeing occupation government buildings bombed the most joyful moments, which led a lot of people to regain their spirits, and join the resistance.
Alvéole | Full-stack developer | Full-time | REMOTE, Canada | Montréal, QC

At Alvéole (https://www.alveole.buzz), we install urban beehives while educating thousands of businesses, organizations, schools, and families about bees and beekeeping along the way. Ultimately, we want to make people fond of bees, which in turn will lead to them falling in love with nature and building awareness about the impact that each and every one of us can have in preserving our environment. We’re a B Corp founded in 2013, active today in Canada, the United States and Europe, and officially joined the 1% for the planet movement in January 2021.

We've been driven by our tech since our inception: logistics, routing, scheduling, middleware, sales, internal and external apps and tools. We're entering an exciting stretch of new growth and expanding our presence and offerings in the proptech sector, and are looking for a full-stack developer to help support our existing systems while developing new ones. We're primarily MERN, but we have a lot of time for the right candidate—clever, creative, always eager to learn—with a background in a different stack.

We're committed to a development team as diverse as the cities where we operate. We encourage you to apply even if you don't match every item in the description.

We look forward to hearing from you! https://alveole.humi.ca/job-board/software%20development/599...
You can set custom pages for all of those, and they can be helpful and informative.

An Error 500 page used in an internal service could tell you something like "Try again in 5 minutes, and call Joe if it still doesn't work".

An Error 410 page can spell out "We used to have this, but don't anymore because it was obsolete. Please look here for a replacement instead."

The defaults are just that, simple defaults, and these days typically overriden by the web browser to show something more user friendly.

>I would not trust the legal power of a waiver between two non governmental entities

So you don't trust the courts to enforce a contract? That's basically what a liability waver is, a bog standard contract that amends a prior (often implied by legal convention or state law) contract between the manufacturer and the product owner.

>When the public opinion wants someone to pay, the government will go after whoever can pay

FYI making one or both entities "governmental" doesn't do anything to change this.

Jeff Bezos to fly to space next month
That's because the money you make is a defined by your position in a competitive political hierarchy. Your "contribution" is defined entirely by political status.

The more power you have over others, the more money you make. That's the real "free market" definition of value.

There's a reason climate damage and other critically important side-effects of market dysfunction are dismissed as ignorable "externalities". They have little or no immediate political effect and no independent political agency. Therefore in market terms their value is either zero or negative.

The physical reality is that the game board is on fire and unless something changes the entire game will be over soon.
It will probably help humanity venture into space so I would answer yes it is a good idea. Rich people that can afford space tourism also can afford doing other things with their money which is also carbon intensive but doesn't bring humanity forward technology wise.
No, but if I take my car to two mechanics and one quotes me $100 and the other $150, then I might very well go for the one quoting me $150 for many different reasons.

Then the next argument would be that John Deere is destroying competition by artificially selling their tractors below cost, making it impossible to compete with them.

Because yeah, that's what you do when you recoup the rest of the cost in the subscription/maintenance.

It's the same model that game consoles use to keep the hardware costs low. They make it up in the game and peripheral licensing fees.

If JD dropped the subscriptions, but instead charged full price for the tractors, people would just scream about the prices instead.

I actually agree that farmers should legally be able to repair their own tractors, or have anyone else do it. But gaining that "right" back wouldn't actually fix their complaints, just shift them.
Regular tourism is far worse.
Yes, like raping kids and blackmailing each other. (Epstein and the gang) Although I wouldn't be suprised if Russia had a similar operation.

I'll throw this item I've been following for a while. There is a supply/demand problem with a certain stock that had a massive rise in Jan in the video gaming industry. It could be short term and you may see it as risky but there is a lot of research being done by folks over in reddit that point to large Wall Street firms having naked shorted the stock for months, possibly much longer. Bankruptcy isn't an option anymore (which was the bet these firms made at start of pandemic on several retailers) since the company paid off long term debt and is winding down brick-n-mortar while ramping up ecommerce.

People are estimating 2x-4x of the issued shares exist out there for this security and the large Wall St firms are losing runway where they can play bookkeeping games with failing to deliver shares, etc. Look for the "House of Cards" posts on reddit by a user named atobitt for a lot more detail.

Anyhow, the annual shareholder meeting is this Wednesday. Many retail investors have been encouraging proxy voting their shares because then the company will know that when say 200 million votes come in and only 73 million shares were ever issued that there is a significant problem. Setting aside fundamentals of the company and "valuation", if this situation is going on to the magnitude people claim, it is a massive short squeeze where the price could skyrocket.

I'll admit the research on reddit seems very tin-foil hatty but they have been interviewing trusted professionals that know about these things - lawyer, journalist and former DTCC employee and digging up as much data as they can to the point of FOIA requests to the SEC. Interview are up on youtube.

If nothing like that happens, there is a strong fundamentals case building where it could be the amazon of video gaming in a few years. Another option would be finding an entire stock market index fund as a solid fire and forget investment that will average decently over the long term.
