They’re generally quite a bit more expensive than wood 2x4s and conduct heat and cold so well that they almost totally defeat any fluffy insulation used between studs. This basically requires a layer of board insulation on the outside (this is commonly part of an EIFS system used in commercial construction). They also aren’t as amenable to hanging stuff as wood studs which is a common requirement in residential homes.
At some point skeuomorphism becomes anachronism, though. The canonical example is the continued use of the floppy disk icon for save. A mechanical stopwatch for a timer. A telephone with a switch hook and dial. A desk calendar with rings and pages. A pencil and paper for text editor.

Carpenter acquaintances in California make vicious fun of carpenters in The East (which probably includes most of what easterners call "The West") continuing to use Skil saws long after geared designs, with a high-speed motor running perpendicular to the sawblade axis, have proven overwhelmingly superior by every measure.
Interesting, as someone who loves math learning programming as an extension of math made a lot of sense. It also explains why other people I know struggled to learning to program in the same setting, but later we’re able to thrive given a different curriculum.

Following the links from your blog, it looks like you worked at Quora. Outside of news websites, Quora and Reddit are probably the two worst offenders of pushing dark patterns onto the Internet. I still don't understand why Google hasn't deranked Quora for cloaking its pages, a dark pattern that would get any other website banned from the SERPs.

I like your point about recruiting. I can't imagine many engineers would choose a job offer from Quora or Reddit over one from any other company. You're basically selecting for candidates who can only attract one offer.
One of the culture gaps between USA and other countries is how easily USA conflate fair weather friends/acquaintances with real friendship. Weird from that perspective when someone acts like they want to be friends with everyone because if there is actual commitment then you literally can't be close friends with too many people, you wouldn't have enough time to regularly connect.

If you always reliably vote for (Party X) then paradoxically you are less likely to get your concerns addressed because they mainly need swing voters to win elections.

People who switch parties to vote for their pet issue probably have a disproportionate impact on the outcomes, because both parties gain an incentive to take a position on that issue.

Look for Launcher Manager Ultimate, it lets you disable Google stock launcher and rolls back the basic Android TV launcher.
Look for a draft called “Quick Journaling settings”. Edit the line “* OmniFocus” to say “* Reminders”. That should make it create reminders instead of OF actions.

I wrote this to mirror my own personal workflow, so I admit that it’s not for everyone. I love how frictionless it made recording everything I needed to record, though. “At the dentist.”, then cmd-opt-A (for “Add”) records that I’m at the dentist. “* Call Joe.”, then cmd-opt-A will remind me to call Joe later.

Oh, if you want to keep (or throw away) the daily journal draft, edit the “Process journal items” action and change the “after success” action.

Edit: After taking a year and a half off from that action group while I scribbled stuff in notebooks, I’m about out of paper and will be resuming development on it very shortly.
While nanoparticles could correspond to viral like carriers. The reason you probably wouldn't want to naively use viral particles is because any viral particle that would likely attack the body naturally would also trigger the immune system. That would decrease the efficacy and could actually increase the likelihood of side effects.

> It’s one of a very small number of languages that doesn’t let users wiggle their way around needing some kind of principled effect system, so you really can’t get away without monads.

To put that a bit differently: Haskell is a strait-jacket. In the name of purity and laziness, it takes away a lot of things that other languages give you. Monads are the hoop that is left, which you have to jump through in order to be able to do what you can do in a more straightforward way in other languages.

I'm saying this in a negative way precisely because you said it in a positive way.

But which is it really? Is it a positive or a negative? Depends on who you are and what you're doing. Depends on how much your program is improved by not having the wiggle room, and how much of the time you're doing what is easier to do in other languages.

("Easier" might not be the right word. Do notation isn't that bad of a notation for expressing sequencing in. It's a bit cumbersome, but it's not terrible - it's not like building the sequence monads by hand. It's still producing them under the hood, though. Whether that's a problem depends on how badly you need speed, how much pressure the garbage collector is under, how much of the program needs to be sequential, and so on.)
The biggest problem with the first language is that a student has nothing to compare it to, and so naturally comes away thinking that the design decisions in that language are a reflection of some deep underlying truth, that this language is The Way Things Should Be Done rather than a product of its time and particular goals of its designers.

Hi, thanks a lot for the presentation, it was very interesting. I'd have a few questions :

1) Why choose a CPU approach ? The trend seems to be doing 2D graphic on GPU (for e.g Mozilla's WebRender or Google / Raph L. 's Piet-GPU).

2) Is Pixie going to be the rendering lib for Fidget ? If it is the case, do you think the perfs / battery usage will be okay despite the drawing being done on CPU ?

3) I loved your last presentation on Fidget. What's going to be the main changes in Fidget 2 ? Are you still going to be using a Virtual DOM ? How/where do you store the app states ? I'd be very interested in any early info you could share about it
What a completely facile comparison. They earn money by plastering ads over user submitted content. Hosting those videos is hardly some act of social conscience, why would they be owed praise in addition to the advertising revenues they receive.

It's hardly prescient to predict outrage when one of the largest companies in the world that wields almost unparalleled control over the information consumed by people decides to censor content about human rights abuses.

This should be a frequent position promoted in sane circles. What is the alternative, promoting war between nuclear powers? A permanent campaign of bullying, hoping that the Russians never get into a position to do anything about it?

If the US can be close allies with the Saudis and the Israelis at the same time, they can collaborate with Russia.
Flat earth is 5% idiots and some damn near remainder trolling, but the other two… what if they were right?

Obviously they aren’t.

But in this scenario, what if they were and you were part of the useful idiots covering up for someone? You would be the bad guy directly hurting society… so instead, how about a free marketplace of thoughts and opinions and allow the “orthodoxy” to be organic even if it might slightly be flawed on average (to the example we land on “no vaccines aren’t bad, but we have a lot more required testing and liability just incase”).

What makes your pet theories better than anyone else’s? Why “can’t” you be wrong?
Given the ever-increasing amount of automation in the economy, I believe that programming (of one form or another) is going to become a skill as important as writing. Everyone learns how to write in school, even though only a few become novelists or journalists. Similarly, everyone will learn to code even though only a few will become data scientists or software engineers.

Programming for non-professionals looks a lot more like Excel than Python. I imagine the trend will continue where deceptively simple interfaces allow people to automate routine tasks. Those interfaces might get more expressive languages, but most programs will be at most a dozen lines long.

That's the kind of language I think we should start with. We can worry about more detailed CS topics for the students who actually specialize in that.

I think you've misunderstood both my comment and the one I was responding to. Neither of us mentioned ads?

I was pointing out that even the parent comment's very example of a slow slide towards universal subscriptions that add no value didn't hold. It was framed as "I have inside knowledge of this nascent product category and its capture by useless subscriptions", while in reality this is already a market category that exists without any such issues.

Unless you obscured your face with e.g. a motorcycle helmet or something.
I think people already could do what you say. You could be on Facebook and only have family and a small group of close friends that you share with. People don't want that. They want to get as many likes as possible. They want to argue with people. They want to be voyeurs. Even something just as simple as group chat is available today. Why aren't people simply creating different group chats (or using GroupMe, e.g.) as their only sharing communication? They can control every level of privacy. I don't think people want that. They want max likes and they don't want to put any effort into it. They don't really care about privacy. If they did, they wouldn't share every meal and activity they do online.
Most of my relationship-stress has been about "attention." The women I've dated all wanted more of it. I've dated three women seriously/long-term, and all three complained of it. Two ended the relationship over it. One of those women I was madly in love with.

I still agree there is no assurance that it would have made the relationships last any longer; however, I'd feel better about my role in those relationships, if nothing else.

To me, sharing your time with others is one important metric for a life well-lived. I'd just like to be a better human, and I think this is one way I can work on it.

I was thinking about the Mitutoyo incident, but I think those were coordinate measuring machines, not mills. (5-axis implies milling, but Mitutoyo doesn't make mills. CNC is a generic term that really applies to any sort of machine controlled by a computer -- we have CNC sewing machines at the local makerspace ;)

As for geo locks on mills, I have heard about those. My understanding is that they're a software licensing thing -- sell the machine, move it to a new shop, the software stops working. That ensures you can't get your money for the machine on the secondary market, and that new customer has to buy a brand new one directly from the manufacturer. Just your standard DRM scheme to improve corporate profits. Also good to have that equipment on board so that you can switch to a subscription plan if the economy gets bad.

I don't know if all 5 axis machines require registration with the government. I have looked at these before: https://pocketnc.com/ and they don't say anything about it. Could be too tiny for anyone to care about, though.
> I came to the realization a while back that I only have maybe…4 friends other than my wife.

This is overwhelmingly true about everyone, having a single digit count of close friends. People that pretend to have dozens of close friends, are liars, whether consciously or subconsciously (specifically they're maintaining a facade to draw social points from, narcissistically). It's not feasible to successfully maintain so many high level relationships, even if it's all a person does all day.

A typical social butterfly might have a few dozen active social connections that they keep alive by occasionally touching base, which is very different from having that many good friends.
Even if you interpret my comment to mean something other than what I meant, what I said is still true: Large parts of North America had no cities prior to European settlement.
Most wall studs don't have an outlet or a switch attached. Besides, wires come in from all heights, making the height for the hole of the wiring highly variable. Also people's preferences for switches and outlets varies (albeit probably not much).

So the stated reason for taking these down is they include the IDs of people who agreed to have their IDs shown in the video? Sounds sort of like some overzealous content moderator misapplying rules, though it could be more malicious. It's pretty bad that YouTube's policies allow this type of stuff to happen.
From the PL theory front, when confronted with the idea that languages shouldn't necessarily assume prior mathematical knowledge, even some well-known researchers simply shrug and say "I can't do anything about that." And those same people will also criticize more popular/accessible languages on the grounds that they lack features from their favorite pet language based in some mathematical footing.

The hypocrisy is real. It is definitely a real problem. If your field has confined itself in formalism without a consideration for HCI, you are doing yourself harm. Not only is the transfer of knowledge to industry and other domains harder, you miss out on equivalent but more accessible ways of expressing the same ideas.

But since the issue at hand is that people often believe people should get to behave however they want with their own platforms, you only need to point to one high-profile counter example to disprove that that's some universal maxim: that the law currently usually sides with Google doesn't mean the "it's their platform" argument is sufficient.
Yeah, not terribly useful.
Most recently, bombing the offices of multiple news outlets during a conflict comes to mind. But what made me change my mind was actively seeking out Palestinians to talk to one on one after a close friend told me I was racist. This isn’t particularly profound or anything, but a now very close friend of mine talked to me about how she could barely see her family in Palestine and that I could get a free trip and citizenship with no connection to the land because I was Jewish. That seemed so completely bonkers to me and still does.

This is why multi party systems work better than two party systems.

You can have a party dedicated to potholes if you have enough potholes, and you can have a party dedicated to agency oversight.

Both partys need to form coalitions to get any control, and need to compromise with each other or find win win situations for both parties.

The two party system has similar inside groups that sort of do this but it isnt pronounced, people still fall back to party lines when pushed (instead of their own views), and none are forced to compromise for their constituents. If they toe the party line theyre safe.

Perhaps social networks need to reinvent clubs? That's what makes HN valuable: it's a club with like-minded members and because their number is small, your voice gets heard. FB, on the other hand, is a club that admits anyone, so it's not really a club, and because it's a stadium packed with random folks, your voice doesn't matter.
> If you always reliably vote for (Party X) then paradoxically you are less likely to get your concerns addressed because they mainly need swing voters to win elections

Nope, they need to mobilize their voters and demobilize the opposition. The media narrative about the importance of swing voters is greatly exaggerated, but it justifies election year media drama like showcasing “undecided voter” panels at debates.
People with social anxiety often come accross as introverted, because they are anxious about interacting - however that doesn't mean they don't want to interact, the desire might be extremely strong, exacerbated be the perceived difficulty in doing so. Compare an introvert who is not socially anxious, who simple has a lower desire to interact.
Likewise, some socially anxious people cope by being more extroverted, louder, more interactive.
So.. there is a difference in the internal experience, and the external presentation.. and i think when we're talking about a person, rather than their current actions, we normally mean the former but are mislead by the latter.

Georgia Tech around the year 2000 required most new students to take CS 1301/1311/whatever number course. It was, at one point, taught with a Pascal-derived pseudocode (incredibly unpopular, though I liked it quite a bit). Then they switched to Scheme (using SICP?) which was a fantastic catastrophe, major cheating scandal the first year. The TAs were not prepared (most had not taken it themselves and many/most were only sophomores or juniors with insufficient experience or time to teach themselves). Then they switched to Python (?), I don't know what they used after that because by then anyone I still knew at the school was beyond the freshman classes, most having graduated.

At the same time they had the Scheme-based course (and possibly before, but I know at this point) they also offered a MATLAB-based introduction for non-CS/CMPE/EE students (EE and CMPE had to take the first 2 or 3, respectively, CS courses with the CS majors as part of their degree program). This MATLAB course was targeted more towards ME, AE and other majors who really just needed something that let them write programs to solve problems in their domain. Many of them did much better. The problems assigned were better motivated for them and they were able to apply it within their broader course of study or internships or research work.

That a first course should be appropriate to the desired outcome for the students seems obvious, I'm rather surprised there's much debate around this topic.
