There are many things that apparently "I should be doing" but actually those turn out be someone else's ideas that may sound great but.. they're just not for me.

So when I find myself procrastinating I quickly decide: I'm not going to do it at all. If deciding that gives me sense of relief then I take it was a sign I was right to drop it.

But if decding that feels wrong then I will contemplate on it, because maybe it was pointing towards something that I should be looking into more closely.

For example, our culture is really trying to sell the idea of "I should be going to gym" but no, I shouldn't. Instead it's probably a good idea to put my muscles into work somehow but then that doesn't have to be gym.

But I can tell that everytime I'm doing the thing that's good for me: I'm in flow and things are rolling forward very nicely. I don't need anyone telling me what I should or should not.

I don't even understand why they included PHP in macOS to begin with. Perl? Python? I can understand, they are used by millions of projects and tools. But PHP? I've never seen a single CLI tool written in PHP, except the Phoronix Test Suite.
I agree in principle about the benefits of everything being uniform. For Stabel, specifically, I need some way of seperating function-definition from function-implementation, and a prefix meta language seemed like the best bet. Didn't look at it too closely, though.

Too bad then that this is not the goal of web search engines. Their goal is instead to sell ad space.
That is a sweeping and nebulous claim, and somewhere within it is the premise that atheism is a symptom of insufficient reflection and awareness.

To get a sense of how condescending that comes across, imagine if I turned that around by saying: "Religious people have more atheistic tendencies than they're aware of. By understanding atheism and/or science, these tendencies can be recognized."

A huge number of HNers would immediately see all the things that are wrong with this sentence: it generalized a diverse group, it alleges their world view is invalid and incomplete, and it's an obvious attempt of the speaker to redefine other people's convictions in terms that are easier to attack.
Just jumping in to say that the successes of Pfizer/Moderna/AstraZeneca et al may have primed us to think that vaccines are usually successful but the reality is that these are the exceptions (happy ones!)

No they're not. Time to go studying linguistic before writing false statements on the internet. Even if most characters and words are shared in-between Sinitic languages, there are difference in lexicon, grammar, syntax and other subtle grammatical phenomena. Phonology is also distinct. It would be incredibly painful for someone the write its native language using an input method made for another language.

English keyboards (especially ANSI-style US English keyboards) are very popular, but that's largely a matter of historical availability and (in hacker circles) bad support for the sort of punctuation you use for programming.

Flip it on its head then — would you want to type English on a Cyrillic keyboard?

Even just sticking to Latin alphabet keyboard layouts, there's plenty of variations that make different keyboards quite inconvenient for the wrong language — Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages, yet you wouldn't want to write Spanish using a Portuguese layout (You can probably type ñ, but I don't think there's a way to type ¿ and ¡ directly).

I use the US International layout because it's "good enough" to write Portuguese while being a lot more convenient for programming, but the standard US English layout is completely unusable for me, and for most European languages, which tend to have a variety of diacritics. Even on US International, I can type umlauts (ä) but have no idea how to type Hungarian double acute marks (a̋).
You're an endangered species. I find it pretty funny how so many developers jump through so many hoops to avoid developing on the OS that's actually running the application in production. Apparently wasting many gigabytes of RAM on unnecessary virtualization, suffering from extremely slow IO, and constantly bashing your head against file permissions/network configuration/whatever else is so much more productive.

(Please don't waste your time replying with "I can't use X because of Y". The world does not need any more of these anecdotes. We've heard it all. If you don't want to be a part of the change, downvote and move on.)

The USA has the death penalty for children, so lets jump off the high horse on that one.

Mustafa al-Darwish also was older than 18 for part of it (And one assumes the terrorism charge would have been later in the timeline) which fits with SA saying they no long execute children, which would make them better than the USA on that issue.
How pretentious. A person reads what they read because they like it. That's all that's necessary. For everyone else, there's textbooks and papers.
Even though the characters are mostly the same for most European languages, the mobile keyboard is often tightly connected to spell checking and auto correct for a specific language. It can be a struggle to "fight" the autocorrect when using the wrong keyboard.

Physical keyboards don't have the same issues.

Correct - the number of specific characters different to standard English is minimal, nothing like a Russian keyboard.
Apple also translated “hey siri” into “privet siri” in russian. “Hey” means both greeting and exclamation (like oy) in english, but “privet” is just a greeting that is used only once a day. It’s like you have a coworker Alice and when you ask her something instead of saying “hey Alice could you please …” you say “greetings Alice …” every single time, sometimes few times in a row. It’s sounds so creepy.

But the reason for that is likely just an ignorance, not political games.

Everything You Need to Know About Torchvision’s SSD Implementation
As a native Portuguese speaker, I don't have a need for umlauts, but do need easy access to the tilde, acute, grave, and circumflex. English is the odd one out, because it's the least common denominator in terms of the characters you need.
Yes; Or: If you have a very long list of integers, for example [1, 2, ..., 12351234] and your output would be the same list but all numbers increased by one (keeping the index/order): [2, 3, ..., 1235123]. If you now add a new element to the end of the initial list, you'd only have to add one element to your output instead of iterating over the whole list.
/usr/bin/env python3
Currently, all there is are some simple stack manipulators, simple math stuff, a Pair (tuple) type, a Maybe (nullish) type and a linked List.

The stdlib will get more datastructures (Array, Dict, Set, Result, Triple...), some basic side effects (randomness, time) and functions to map to wasm intrinsics like bit-shift and math operations.

My aim is to keep the stdlib relatively small and portable between wasi and browser environments.
That would only work as proof if you believe that salary is a perfect metric for job performance, and that nobody is paid less than they could get elsewhere (IE that the labor market operates with perfect efficiency).

I imagine we both know neither of those is the case.

Since those are not the case, you can ask yourself, are bills requiring equal pay for equivalent work and pay transparency each likely to improve salary as a metric for job performance, and labor market efficiency?

I suspect they do both, but if you believe otherwise, feel free to explain.
Chinese is different from every other language I've seen. The written language shares meaning, but with different pronunciation. Mandarin uses pinyin as its romanisation, where Cantonese uses jyutping.

Duck[1], for example, has different pronounciations (Cantonese has aap3, Mandarin uses ya1). If you read a menu, the character will be the same, but it'll be pronounced differently.

This article is asking why pinyin in supported for writing Cantonese, when Cantonese's romanization is jyutping. I've installed GBoard on my iPhone to have access to a jyutping keyboard.

Note this is from someone who hasn't been learning Cantonese for long, so someone may want to correct any mistakes I've made!

There are times when outrage is entirely the right emotion to feel. The problem is when we live in a permanent state of outrage, or when we pretend to be outraged to get what we want.

If we "ban outrage", then somebody needs to be the outrage police and decide when it's acceptable.

Great questions Andy!

We do support wrapping payload types of any kind because we invalidate _all_ objects returned from a mutation. For example, if you run a mutation like editUser { user { id posts { id } } } we will invalidate any cached query result that contains that user and any cached query result that contains any of those posts!

You are right that smart invalidation can never be 100% reliable, which is why we have the Purging API to manually purge records you know changed from your backend. I think most customers are going to use the manual Purging API, however we also have a bunch of customers with use cases for whom the smart invalidation suffices.

And, if you want to literally run the bytecode, there’s that little issue of nested blocks and block start/end tags…a proper WASM CPU would have to perform parsing in order to handle any form of control flow. (Alternatively, you could load not-quite-WASM that’s been gently preprocessed to use normal jumps, but at that point why not just go all the way and generate native code for a real CPU?)
I spent years experimenting with note taking/personal knowledge bases. After moving on from Evernote, I even wrote my own clone in Clojure and Clojurescript with a Firefox plugin for web capture.

I am now done with such time wasting nonsense. For several years I have been using Apple Notes (all my Apple devices except Apple Watch, and web browser version on Linux). I bought a simple app that exports all notes to a standard text file format for periodic backups.
Because you're conflating a geopolitical current (colonialism & imperialism) with an artistic one (orientalism) -- in fact, the artistic current actually predates colonialism in the concerned geographical regions, with e.g. Ottoman art becoming fashionable in the 18th century or Antique Egypt fascinating Paris after Napoleon's expedition in the early 19th century.

Just like nowadays, exhibiting a taste for Vietnamese or Bengali culture doesn't imply that you are a staunch supporter of children's slavery, 19th century people fantasizing about lascivious odalisques and fierce Cheikhs or Byron writing about Transoxania doesn't have much to do with the Concessions harbours.
I wouldn't say it's unsolved, many people have a workflow that have worked for them for many years. Including people who used paper 20 years ago and still do today with the same techniques.

It's a little like project management: there is no right or no wrong way to do it, just things that work for some people (or teams) and others that work better for different people (or teams).

Additionally, the frontier between "note taking" and "personal project management", or "todo list" is blurry as they're usually done with same tools.

The main difference is that notetaking being personal, there is no reason to converge and all use the same techniques. By contrast in project management, you have to work more or less the same way with the rest of your team or organization.
Informative, but slightly misleading.

Tragically this means the photo of my elePHPant plush will no longer be installed on all new Macs, nor be prevented from being uninstalled by System Integrity Protection.

For me, I had been too lazy to use Homebrew or Perlbrew since I don't develop locally per se, but I wanted `Perl::LanguageServer` for use with VS Code – which I'd installed via `local::lib` into `~/perl5/`.

Post-upgrade either various modules weren't found (because they were installed in a versioned path), or they didn't compile because the XS components had been compiled against the prior version of Perl.
Sure but they do them because they are required by law to do so.

> Whether your objective is to improve user engagement, or you simply want to help your users quickly find the most relevant information, you pay the high cost of keyword search every day in the form of missing and irrelevant search results.

At the moment my biggest frustration is that both Google and DuckDuckGo keeps ignoring my keywords and keep jamming my results with all kinds of obviously irrelevant data.

Google having a "verbatim" option that they ignore on top of already ignoring doublequotes after having butchered the plus operator adds insult to injury..!

There's probably some UX research that indicates that in complex scenarios it is better to give the user the impression of control while silently doing tje right thing.

Well, guess what: that depends on you doing the right thing, and the right thing is not to stuff my results with pages that doesn't contain the error messages I was looking for!
We "support" batched and persisted queries in the sense that we don't break them, we pass them through to your origin, but we don't currently analyse them. Caching / analytics support for both of them is on our roadmap[0] in the near-term for sure!

Is it not common in Russia then?

I had a Russian housemate in London who exclusively used an English keyboard because he liked that model and it wasn't available in Cyrillic. He gave me the impression that a lot of people in Russia used English keyboards. But then he was an English-speaking programmer, and not representative of the "average Russian".
Having worked on a few backend teams, graphql solves the problem of decoupling frontend from backend. In theory, a well designed rest API should solve this. In practice, frontend teams want all sorts of metadata, want to change the shape of the data they’re fetching etc. Graphql let’s them do this without waiting on the backend team to make changes to the API.

The frontend teams may not want direct access to a backend teams database. But they do want the backend to be flexible, and graphql allows for that.
That is a bit his schtick. He himself feels like he has been the victim of an anglo-centered science history (one might debate about that), so he is retelling how the story could work if you put less focus the anglo-part.

To me, it seems like a healthy coping mechanism.
The project was funded by the NFB. The game will stay free.
This is probably a bad example. The problem with typing pinyin instead of jyutping is that you must type a very different set of latin characters to get the result you want.

Who'd assume that though? Reading through a book does not give me a robust understanding of a subject. If that were true, why would people go to school? I read for a perspective and some entertainment, and maybe retaining some details. I read the God Delusion, but I wouldn't presume to know all that much about the intricacies of evolutionary biology. I have at most a cursory understanding of how natural selection works, and a few examples to go on that I didn't know about previously. Why would I care to know everything about "American air doctrine in WWII" when I hadn't previously paid the subject any thought at any level?

Seconded (although I admit I haven't tried cperciva's suggestion). This would make it quicker to view the SSH fingerprint of a new instance. AWS has added a web-based SSH client, which is quicker than waiting for the serial console output, but you need to dig out the relevant command to show the fingerprint.

Aside: I may be one of very few people who bother to verify fingerprints. Why it seems to be the norm to hold SSH security to a much lower standard than HTTPS, by blindly trusting on first use, I don't know.

I recently tried out Microsoft Azure, which appears to offer no way to view the RDP thumbprint of a new Windows Server instance. It's not that it's buried somewhere in the web UI, it simply isn't there. (If I'm mistaken on that point, a correction would of course be welcome.)
To me, a very appealing feature is how everything becomes a pipeline. Other languages needs careful api design for objects/structs/records to be used in a pipeline, but in concatenative languages it is implicit.
