I'm not a fan of dogma, in general. The whole "My only tool is a hammer" deal.

Many architectures and techniques (CI/D, TDD Unit Testing, etc.) are based on large projects, with multiple developers, being reassigned and rotated frequently. They often can be applied to smaller projects, but their effectiveness is not always on par with large projects.

I tend to write alone. That means that my scope is, out of necessity, much smaller than many people enjoy, but it also means that a lot of infrastructure overhead is actually a severe problem.

The advantage of writing alone, is a flexibility that many teams could only dream of, and having a lot of team overhead management practices and structure in place, absolutely kills flexibility.
There are a few differences: Metromile is an insurance company that uses devices which plug into cars to track mileage and charges by the mile. CMT/TrueMotion aren't insurers, they provide apps/SDKs to insurance companies which track driving behavior. This tracking is used to decide on how much to charge for insurance, but this is just a factor applied on top of someone's traditional premium, that is, CMT/TM can't really support pay-per-mile insurance

While unfortunate, I seem to recall that asking employees to smile isn't without precedent in Asia, e.g. https://www.dw.com/en/smiling-is-all-part-of-the-job/a-16570.... There is even a suggestion from a research psychiatrist in Japan for recognition of a new disorder "in which subjects develop depression and physical illness as a result of prolonged, unnatural smiling."; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smile_mask_syndrome

It should also be noted by those inclined to bash China in this thread that Canon is a Japanese corporation. Given the above, it may be a initiative from the parent corporation.
It's a little awkward but I don't think it's technically incorrect
It's a reality of pragmatism when different projects target different versions of the interpreter and there's no guarantee that different versions are not breaking some behaviour.
Well, none of those options do what I want.

More often than not, sorting by "Active", "Oldest" and "Votes" usually surface the same 2 or 3 answers, and I still need to scroll down to the bottom to find out the most recently posted answer that has more up to date info.

I don't see why I shouldn't have the choice to sort by "Reverse Oldest" if you will, when it's so useful a lot of the time.

> This is the philosophical justification for why a (Turing) machine can calculate anything a human can (in fact, the same argument shows that a Turing machine can reproduce the behaviour of any physical system).

I don't think this assertion follows. I don't think an argument like this can work without delving further into reasonable description of a "physical system".

If you just just use the mathematics we employ to describe physical systems unreservedly it is possible to construct "physical systems" that exhibit non-computable behavior. For instance you can have computable and continuous initial conditions to the wave equation that produces a solution that is non-computable. See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computability_in_Analysis_and_...

I think it's important to emphasize that Turing stated his arguments in regards to "effective procedure" (which I see you mention in a different post). I don't think the substitution of "effective procedure" with "physical system" is justified.

Very cool. I like that we spend money on alternative routes to fusion. Funding has been so sparse in the last decades that tokamaks essentially sucked up all of it. Maybe other approaches can be built smaller and cheaper.
That's perfectly fine. In fact, it would probably have too much overhead to try to build a dynamic/strong runtime on top of javascript, so adopting the platform's type discipline was probably a wise choice.

However, the type discipline is a fundamental aspect of the definition of a programming language, and you can't exactly call it the same language if it has a completely different type discipline on different platforms. And it would be nice if clojure advocates stopped lying to people about how it is the same language. Be transparent about how different it really is, even if it looks the same on the surface.
Why couldn't they just install a newer version of PHP though?

It's very questionable that happiness can be measured or even desirable. The focus on positive emotions is easy and attractive, and yet human beings need a range of emotions to have a fulfilling life.

> If I asked person X for advice, what would they say?

This reveals a key characteristic of the homo sapien brain vis a vis other mammals.

Humans have a very large neocortex. Its primary functionality is to hold a database of a few hundred people, organised in bands of social closeness.

Your inner circle might be only a few people, but you know them well and you can predict what they would say about most things.

Your village is about 150 people, including your co-workers, the merchants who sell you things most days, the bus driver, and the people in your street. You know them well, at some superficial level, but its enough to be able to predict what they'll say, more or less, whenever your paths cross.

And then there's your boss, and the local cop, and your mayor, and your governor. You can predict what they'll say in certain situations, and that's exactly why you don't always speed when you're driving, because you carry the cop around in your head.

You are always consulting with this village of people in your head. They prescribe a lot of your behaviour. Somewhere deep inside of you are your own instincts and urges, but by the time you allow them to be expressed as behaviour, you've filtered them by consulting all the people in your head about what you should or shouldn't do or say.
I started with Mac cause that's what I had and it's been working well. I'm not opposed to giving other types of computers and seeing how that works.

There is a lot of additional support I provide that's a lot more important than the computer type.
Why is that. There's clearly the potential for competition, there isn't a monopoly on internet provision - the investment to set up a WISP is minimal.

Why isn't the market providing that competition? Why can't you run fiber through your sewer for example? who owns the sewer?
"They are doing it too" is a favorite argument of crypto-enthousiasts. I'd argue the answer here is not more madness (crypto), but a serious attempt to fix the traditional financial system.

> Have you asked yourself why rich people pretty reliably vote Democrat if, according to your model, it’s going to disadvantage them?

Personally, to give others access to education, parental leave, sick leave, vacation, healthcare, access to broadband internet, ranked choice voting, personal freedoms, public transportation, etc.

Obviously Dems are nowhere near perfect, but they at least tick some boxes. But the point is I do not mind voting for someone even if it causes me a loss, as long as I think it helps others.

The first request after the max age expired will still be stale, even if new content is refetched within the swr time frame - in certain applications not acceptable.

Most of our customers even use both things together to reduce the likelyhood for stale content.
I agree.

However sometimes I am looking for some error related to a botched nodejs install for example, or something that has to do with permissions being set incorrectly and other stuff that does not live in MDN and other documentation sources.

For the actual language questions I do go directly to MDN instead.
Oh, man, I've seen the damages this kind of thinking does.

The Terse vs Verbose code debate is important and all, but honestly architecture is the thing that can make or break a project.

Picking the wrong architecture for the job is the kinda thing that delays features, brings more bugs to the table and will make the exact same people ask for a rewrite down the line.

I once worked on a company that was dominated by such types. They made terrible architectural decisions out of cargo-cult and it took two backend rewrites in a row to get things half-right, but they still ended up with a mongrel codebase with several mixed complex patterns.

In your example, your real-life experience matters 100x more than Joe's opinion of whatever architecture he wants to use.
At the time I wrote the comment it was clearly not well-received, and the oblique opening remark from the person you're quoting is not the kind of response that addresses the question as it should.

That comment is, just like the downvotes the question received, precisely the sort of thing that discourages asking honest questions rather than welcoming them. Note that by the way it is written it, too, assumes that it is both obvious and understood that Python's request.get will "send off a request"—instead of merely building a request and returning it to you. Rather than just straightforwardly answering the question (by explaining what this part of the Python' standard library is actually doing—which is the relevant missing piece here, and which no one should be expected to know) the quoted comment ("The question was how to build a URL, not how to send off a request to it") pins the misunderstanding on the questioner by tacitly implying the questioner isn't paying attention to something else entirely different.

The comment, when considered in full and in context, actually has the effect of subtly discouraging/admonishing the questioner (and likeminded people with the same question) for failing to recognize something that is, to the sophomoric Python crowd, obvious and worthy of ridicule—which is what maest's thread was all about, by the way (and almost certainly why it got moderated).
Thanks! Regarding your question: fbs uses PyInstaller under the hood, so the binaries should be pretty similar in size.
There would be some good reasons, for example regulations could mandate that only factors that one can change and are most directly related to driving are valid for the rate setting. i.e. field of employment or income cannot be used but speeding, hard breaking, cell phone use while driving, and other unsafe behaviors would be.
This headline makes it sound like that ("not wanting children") should be considered surprising or something. WTH? Not sure why not wanting children should have anything in particular to do with being "happy" (whatever that means).
If this behavior is normalized, consumers won't have a choice. That's the problem.
1. China's industrialization was and is powered by a staggering number of poor people searching for a better life. See also: Japan's industrial rise.

2. The government in China is extremely strong and centralized. The top officials want something, the lower officials do it. And since every Chinese business is a government business, any long-lasting Chinese company does what the government wants. So, the government can actually try to direct the country of China, compared to the USA for which conflict is the main point of the government and therefore centralized institutions (various companies, the military) emerge as the main powers.

3. China has a culture of ingratiating themselves (through feeding, using relatives, outright bribery) to people who can give them what they want. Apparently (I don't have a source), corruption can actually increase production because it greases wheels that were rusted by bureaucracy.

I should also note that since China is the world's production center, they have all the manufacturing chains, so if you want to make something in China it is very easy compared to many other countries.

With regards to regulation: IIRC, China has fewer regulations than America, but they are more "restrictive" (e.g. can't criticize the government), though citation needed.

Pneumatic pistons? How is air pressure even close to enough force to make the slightest difference to a fusion reaction?
In the 2019 district council elections, pro-government candidates won 42% of the vote (but much fewer seats due to the non-proportionality of the electoral system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Hong_Kong_local_elections...

So while the government is only supported by a minority, it is a quite large minority.

Those police officers most likely have a support network of friends and family who think they're doing a good job.
A quarter of adults don't want children, but they will still expect the children of the other 75% to produce sufficient surplus for them to consume in retirement.

They may very well find that doesn't happen. Social contracts work both ways.

If you don't want children, make sure you are the best aunt/uncle in the world.
A state-run enterprise is to me not preferable over a healthy market, but it is almost always preferable over a private monopoly. As a citizen you have no leverage over a monopoly, whereas a state-run enterprise still has a democratic feedback loop.

Also, the Republican small government platform goes much further than just railing against government-run enterprise: it essentially states that all government intervention in the economy is bad (both morally and from an effectiveness standpoint; the effectiveness angle is crucial to make their platform appeal to enough people).

In the case of ISP monopolies in rural areas leading to low quality and high costs, I think it doesn't seem likely that the free market will solve this problem by itself any time soon. So politicians without a small government ideology might consider methods such as good old breaking up monopolies or other antitrust measures. Of course, this can not be done at a local level, and if small government ideologues are in power at the state level, this approach is dead in the water.

So if you're a local government and you want to attack this problem, what are your options? Municipal broadband is the only approach I can think of that's within the reach of a city council. So yes, it's a band-aid, but it's the best you can do as long as the state-level is run by small government ideologues.
Here is the thing. Lies are a tool and the interrogator needs to be skilful with this.
Just like with a hammer you can fix or break something if you don't wield the tool correctly.

When they lie, those statements are constructed to pull informations out that would otherwise be hidden. If the lie is constructed with leading facts it might end up lead into false confessions (thats bad).

Investigator can include false info during the 'lie' to try to spot a false confession (covering for someone else, or even confusion and stress and wanting to get out of hostile environment).

Bad investigator will lie and force a confession facts onto suspect. As already mentioned some people might crack under stress of the situation and go into fight or flight - 'get me out of here I will tell you anything' - because they were fed actual crime facts, suspect will use those to construct a confession that will look like a real thing. That practice is something people should get fired over.
Indeed it is. Even temporally
Does Knowledge Distillation Work?
FWIW, someone poured me a can of Heineken 0.0 a few weeks back, telling me it was a Heineken and I immediately thought something was off about it. I just assumed it was really old or something (I was at a family member's place who doesn't drink and just keeps some beer around for guests), but when I actually looked at the can and saw what I was drinking, I realized why.
I am continually amazed at how human beings can find a process that works without knowing the 'real' reason behind why it is effective.

There will be times where you will need to optimize a routine that runs very frequently or takes a long time to execute, and you'll have to resort to stuff that makes it harder to understand and maintain.

But, that's a last resort problem solving approach, and should be the exception not the rule.

That's like saying you're fine driving at 90mph in the rain because Jesus is on your side. You're choosing to not feel the true weight of your responsibility because it's easier to just "have faith" that Jesus will take the wheel. That doesn't sound strictly better at all, that sounds irresponsible and immature.

> if you’re not exposed to those sources you’re exposed to DDG instead, so are you saying they have somehow more moral grounds to stand on when it comes to not sharing user data with others given that they see no problem with taking Google data and semi-packaging it as their own in the first place?

It's all about aligning your goals with the interests of the company. DuckDuckGo has built their business around being a privacy-focused search company. It is not in their interest to ruin that brand (and their company). Google is built on showing you ads and giving you free stuff in return (which requires they collect a lot of information). So yes, I think it's better (and quite natural) to trust DuckDuckGo a lot more than Google when it comes to privacy.
My take on it is that all software developers novice or otherwise try to write simple, clear code.

For some(especially novices) that means plodding, low abstraction code, so that all the details are visible. This makes for longer code. Others see high abstraction code as the cleaner simpler code because the abstractions hide what they see as irrelevant details, which makes for terse code.

“the less, the better”

“the more, the better”

Tautologically both are incorrect when pursued farther than is prudent, and "the right amount, the better". Unfortunately no one really agrees on what "the right amount" is or we wouldn't have to discus different definitions and strategies to reach "the right amount".
