This is the kind of thing that I love about Elixir. As great as Phoenix is, realistically you are going to be equally productive in any web framework. Elixir is my favorite language because it gives you primitives that perfectly suit your needs for just about anything running on a socket, especially once you add in Plug.

Throwing together a prototype is instant, but the awesome part is how quickly you can turn that prototype into something useful. More concurrency? Done. Need to sock away some state somewhere you can easily find and deal with it? Easy. It's easy to write, easy to reason about, and gives you fantastic composable tools to put something great together. It doesn't feel like a codebase so much as an incredibly well managed and cohesive OS.
Don't underestimate all the useful information a complete git log contains, even for solo developers. You can look years back and find out exactly why a change was made.
If we destroyed all the spy records of the US on its citizens (a la Snowden revelations), would anyone in the future view that as a loss?

We have a turn-key dictatorship, the key hasn’t been turned yet. A pack of bureaucrats will have to get new jobs.

Perhaps the rest of us can agree that we should tear this surveillance state apart before it is fully weaponized against us.
`sleep` could be an appropriate candidate
The 3rd generation at least had an 'experimental' web browser that let you go wherever you wanted.
> You are correct, but that doesn't mean it's anecdotal. At this point we don't know whether natural immunity is 'better' than vaccine induced immunity, and it could go either way.

There is this study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01377-8 saying that natural immunity seems to be slightly worse than Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, but better than AstraZeneca or Johnson vaccine.
Unfortunately, the kind of place where such indirections are expected to work is the kind of place where feedback about meetings won’t be allowed (it is like this for a reason, maybe a top level prefers it, and _that_ is what needs addressing, IMHO)
I invite you to try using Git as much as possible for two weeks. After a week I started using Git for branching out of my main branch to test several different ideas and then compare them at once with other developers - colleagues or friends. I think that moved the meetings and discussions with my teammates up a level.
I can't think offhand of a language that does overload + for strings by default.

Perl uses .
Oracle SQL uses ||
Microsoft SQL and VBA use &
C obviously doesn't use +.
Neither does Pascal.
Power Query doesn't.
> plenty is primarily driven by monetary policy

Short-term market cycles are always driven by credit, which is in turn driven by monetary policy.
that’s because it’s undetectable. no one knows what they are saying.
I am/was in a similar situation. A few tips to get through your day:

* Identify one key item you want to accomplish. Once you finish it you are off the hook for the day. Limit it to one item per day only.
* Have a hard-stop per day e.g. No work after 6pm.
* Have a recharge routine. Everyday I pick from meditation, a walk or workout.
* Plan something fun after work like a movie, show etc. Mindlessly binging on the internet as I attempted to forget about my day left me more exhausted and defeated. In covid-times, it is hard to plan a meaningful fun activity but a little intentionality goes along way.
Marketing matters a lot, and NKLA was quite popular or even infamous there. A known brand does have value, even according to 'real economics'.

Most investors seem to have been valuing that aspect and completely discounting the engineering/tech.
> Some minor chunk of equity gets bought up by an investor, so by extension the entire equity of the company is now worth billions on a per-share basis.

This prospective valuation is based on the assumption that the company eventually either goes public on a reputable, retail exchange or is bought for some reasonable fraction of the expected share price. Neither of these is or would be true for the deli.

But I think your overarching point is an excellent one, and it's exactly why I'm skeptical of the valuations implied by fractional VC investments. Especially when they're tied to the Uber model.
The dealbreaker for me is now that I’ve used a paper white I can’t not use a backlit kindle. Most of my reading is at bedtime and it makes it so much more enjoyable.

There is a complex dependence on forming fibres that makes them slow (long lead time to symptoms) and then fast (dead soon after getting sick).
An interesting initiative from FSF, through I suspect the answer the most of the question will be answered when someone attempts a similar projects in a more traditional copyright-restrictive area.

As an example I would like to see is a Cosinger, where the AI is trained using songs on youtube and streaming services. With the final product, a user start to sing and the algorithm attempt to sing along and give the singer suggestions for how the song should continue. I could see how a lot of musicians would be willing to pay good money for such program, and removing obligations to pay any money for the training set would make it much more feasible to create.

There are already AI's that create music (through unlikely from proprietary training sets). A Cosinger shouldn't be too far from that.
Maybe some can. I don't know. But the point remains that the supposed "counter example" is not evidence of this, and that irrespective of that, because most butterflies won't have them in that position depicting them like that will make them look like they are likely dead whether they are or not.

It makes sense that fifteen minutes a day of Duolingo isn't as effective as spending two hours a day studying, going to meetups, traveling to a foreign country, etc.

I recall similar criticism for the "seven-minute workout" from people who pointed out that joining a gym and hiring a personal trainer is a more effective way of getting in shape.

But those are not very helpful. If I have fifteen minutes before the kids wake up my only decision is how to spend that time. Duolingo? Meditate? Pushups? Half an episode of something? Daydream?

> As someone who has kept excel files and PDFs in version control

Hot tip for handling office file formats or anything that uses a ZIP container: just unzip them and commit that to the repo. It won't fix the issue mentioned of the authoring tool making seemingly arbitrary and unnecessary changes, nor will it give you nifty visual diffs, but it's better than shuffling binary blobs through your version control tools.
Minor nit, but the article talks about "an old-fashioned micro-USB cable". That'd be mini-USB cable for many of the oldest Kindles and Amazon stuck with that connector for far longer than most manufacturers (it's apparently prone to mechanical failure). I still have to keep one of these cables around for my old Kindles and it's a nuisance.
Addiction is often a response to life circumstance.

Everyone points to the famous experiment in which rats were given access to a button they could push to release happy drugs in their brains. The rats hit the button until they withered away and died.

There was, however, another experiment done, in which the rats were given access to the drug button, but also an expansive "rat park" in which they could play and interact with other rats. In this case, most rats tried the button, but did not abuse it.

This makes perfect sense: if you were trapped in a cage with no future, no friends, and nothing to do but hit the pleasure button, wouldn't you? The parallels to human behavior are left as an exercise to the reader.
It's a good example because it shows the gulf between organizational/innovational rot and impeccable bookkeeping.

Kodak's signs of decay were visible at least as long ago as the late 70s vis a vis the Polaroid patent infringement case (and the cheesiness of Kodak's own knockoffs).
The Playdate store is now open
Perhaps another way to describe this intuition is that with operating systems, the developer is also the subject matter expert and the one setting the requirements. When you are the one setting requirements, those requirements are going to seem inherently less arbitrary than requirements set by someone else.
It kind of made sense at the time. I have a Kindle DX, and that came out in 2009. Wifi was less ubiquitous and more terrible, and the idea with the Kindle anyways is you could be anywhere and buy a book, and it would just work.

It did open up some very interesting homebrew applications too!

Also the early models with WiFi had the absolute worst radios and constantly tripped over themselves. When I worked for Centurylink in/around 2011 one of the most common issues with wifi was Kindle devices. Thankfully most customers could figure that if their 3-5 other devices were connected and working, the issue was their Kindle, and not the CPE.
Also on Oasis for same reason. I do wonder when there will be significant improvements or if it's all going towards ipad land etc.
Agreed, the buttons on the Kindle Keyboard are much better than the touch screen on newer models. Seems like page turning buttons are now only available on the premuim versions!

The screens are much better on the new ones though.
This is one of the things I like about Go. Just structs with methods. You can embed them but it seems to hedge against deep nesting and creates simple code
The second anyone starts to order it in sizable quantities like for a utility installation or auto production run the prices spike and don’t recover until they hit competitive scale (best case) or some yet unknown scientific breakthrough (worst), all the while trying to catch up to LiIon.

As I recall, browsing was an "experimental" feature (I had a second gen I think?) and it was nearly unusable for most purposes.
I would also love to see larger screen Kindle like DX. I loved it so much. Nowadays I'm using Boox and it's fine, but Kindle DX 2021 would be nicer as a reading device.
Mine was only boring because I had a lot of interests but no real way of exploring them (even with the internet) and thus never really accomplished anything of note. I can’t really point to any real happy memories though none were exceptionally unhappy either.
Surely there are updates to the FSI courses, right? Like what does our state department today use? Have they entirely farmed the job out to private institutions like Rosetta Stone and community colleges?

I am looking for an old mod player from 1990-3 Called something like fli player. With a full screen modus where you see 3 circles red green and blue. Already looking for it for about 15 years. If I could only find that player.
I've been noticing this too. I don't even remember what I was researching, but I was looking for "best of" lists like OP and I kept finding affiliate-link farms in all sorts of weird places. One was a recipe site, I think, and I definitely wasn't looking for anything even remotely food related at the time.

The root of my problem IMO is that Google never came up with a proper way to search by time. Same problem if you want to search for "new video games" or new anything really. You can't specify it as a time constraint. You have to put the year in as a regular search term, which is super easy for the link farmers to game.
Except she uses sex to promote her channel. Pretending the issue is women in STEM is dishonest.

You are still betting against the product those people are building. Their sentiment doesn’t matter much when the product weak and company is committing fraud for personal gain or to bolster the promises of the product, like Thernos, most (not all of the time, by any means) of the time history has dealt with this.

what totally sold me on suppressors was an interview with a company that made suppressors for shotguns. Retrievers (gun dogs) go deaf after a few years. Shotgun suppressors are for the benefit of the dogs. They should be mandatory.
I don't think the maintainer should be obligated to do anything. It would be courteous to treat it as a bug and maybe even provide a patch so that downstream users can easily fix it, but not an obligation. It looks like this one is already fixed so the point is moot.

If the primary maintainer of 'cat' decided it would be funny to have it output "meow" when run at 00:30 in the morning, it's totally their right to do it. I'd expect a lot of downstream users wouldn't find it that funny and would want to patch it out pretty quickly.
> My policy: OOP is like salt. Use little and that's great. I only allow a single inheritance layer, and ideally no inheritance at all.

That's been my observation as well - there's no free lunch and DRY isn't free either, certainly not if you use inheritance chains to achieve it.

I'm starting to think that the only programming axiom that will survive in the end is KISS.
Licences in open sources is becoming minefield. I'm sure there are tons of organizations using GPL licences in commercial products.
Remember a while ago when the “women in stem” (or whatever it was) hashtag took off and women took selfies with what they wear in the lab and at work? Lo and behold, women dress like normal people when working in the lab or with their work equipment.

Let’s not act like Naomi isn’t running the influencer gig and doesn’t know what she’s doing here. If she wanted to do a tech video about her CNC machine, then do that, but leave out the eye roll inducing camera shots.
Rumors of a "new Kindle with USB-C" have been going around for years. Hopefully this year is the year.
I don't disagree - just want to note a difference between sufficient analysis and overthinking the problem (IMHO).
You had to click through a few menus to use it, but yes (I think it was called “experimental web browser” or something). Worked internationally too, I used it to look up some stuff when I was on vacation in Turkey in 2010.
What's up with this clickbait title? Older kindles can absolutely maintain their internet connection, just not through 3G as 3G is being switched off entirely.
In 2014 I worked for a food delivery startup as sysadmin (pizza.de, now sold at least twice).

We used a bunch of shellscripts and m4 to manage a lot of linux servers and config-files in a similiar fashion to what ansible does (which was not really a thing at the time).

It worked ok, but I hate the m4 syntax to this day.

The ignorance in this comment section is already giving me an aneurysm. Software licenses matter. Copyright matters. If megacorps like Microsoft can sue people into oblivion for violating their copyright terms, people can sue Microsoft into oblivion for violating theirs. I don't use MS Github, I have no skin in the game, but I hope there is at-least a $1000 award to every instance of AGPL and GPL license violation because it's unfair and illegal what they're doing.

This isn't ML, it is a ripoff and is violating clear software licensing terms. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27710287

Software freedom matters, but I wouldn't expect the typical HN type to understand, since their money is made on exploiting freely-available software, putting it into proprietary little SaaS boxes, then re-selling it.

It never occurred to me that the headline meant anything other than Whispersync, which uses 2G/3G bands.
The US always seems to make simple things far FAR more complicated than needed.

They've created this giant eviction logjam that's making a mess of a lot of things.

Don't want folks evicted? Give poor folks money so they can pay their rent or move to a cheaper place and pay rent etc etc. As it is, folks are trapped in their one location, can't look for work elsewhere etc. Landlords are screwed etc. Courts are going to be jammed up. And now there is going to be a huge and complicated bureaucracy, filled with fraud to try to get money to landlords etc.
It helps me to think in terms of particles and waves.

A person is a particle and their influence is a wave.

I’m not so sure light is both, but our cognition enables seeing it as both.

Mirror neurons fire when we engage a behavior or see it performed.

Our culture is built upon a meme repeating protectionist like chants for the rich, deflation for the middle class, and stagnation of the poor.

Repeat, fire mirror neurons.

It’s not perfect mind control though cause once you know how the sausage is made, why give that particle (rich person) reverence?

> Nikola is probably at the same stage - if not ahead - of Tesla when it comes to trucks.

See, this level of misinformation is a big reason the company even exists yet.

Tesla has been selling EVs for years now, and has prototyped their own trucks based on their own existing drivetrain, battery pack IP, software.

What Nikola has, when we remove the fraudulent claims, is a prototype built by Iveco, with zero substantial IP from Nikola.

To say Nikola is at the same stage of Tesla is not even wrong. They've never built a working truck in their entire existence. Their "stage" is at a super position from nothing to infinity, as long as you don't look, and no one has ever been allowed to look, at the risk of getting a dead cat.
Change history, if nothing else. That alone brings a ton of benefit, from being able to view earlier versions, to recovering from mistakes or lost code.

If you have a remote repo then, you can also have offsite backups. If you never branch, it's still massively worth it.
The 2007 Kindle also had a basic web browser.
So you want to self-publish books and courses on programming
But Amazon isn't changing anything - and in fact since Kindles 3G have global roaming, I imagine they will continue to work in countries that still have 3G.
Duo is pretty good if your are a second language learner, with some courses/living experience under your belt and want to make sure you've covered all of the basic vocabulary. Like, maybe you never learned the word for "turkey" and it never came up.
That historical... erm... glitch... in C# is very unfortunate and burned us many times back when I was working in a .NET shop (people getting creative was usually the culprit). I've even seen some codebases where people decided to implement their own equality operators (lesson through experience: don't do this).
Nikola looked like a fairly obvious scam to me the first time I've read about them.
I find it surprising and strange that they were able to hoodwink so many people.
Even when their orbit starts decaying they're not generally a direct threat to other satellites as long as they can maneuver. The US maintains a pretty good tracking network that will pick up any whole satellite at least once every few orbits. On that timescale there's not a significant change to the orbit of an object so they remain pretty predictable out far enough for a maneuverable satellite to make a small change to avoid a collision.
Cast iron skillets make the best eggs. It is just a completely different technique.
No. The FSF had lawyers from the beginning and always thought (I talked with RMS in the early 80's some) that enforcement was part of the plan.

Expecting that you conform to a standard about whatever some company thinks is "dignified" for women is a women in STEM issue. (along the lines of people trying to shame women in STEM about having the audacity to not look "professional" in all their social media pictures)

And plenty non-tech influencers are playing up the "looking sexy" way more and somehow that isn't a problem.
If you're not making your own geofoam on site, it seems like the fair comparison should be bringing in a trailer of aircrete blocks made elsewhere in controlled conditions instead of being made to mix it yourself. Any idea why nobody makes them?

I knew a student in a neighboring lab (very smart guy, postdocing at Stanford atm) who had to look up how to pronounce the word "schadenfreude".

This is The Verge, the same place that offered an infamously bad build-a-pc tutorial. I'd hardly consider them credible technology journalism.
At least more recent versions of Visual Studio highlight the == differently so you know it is overridden.
i've seen similar techniques used before where meeting cost has been calculated. it's kinda geek-cool, but it's also pretty passive aggressive, a little petty (not only are you wrong for calling the meeting, but hey, everyone look how wasteful it is) and dare i say, toxic.

sometimes it can be hard to break out of routines and have frank conversations, and it's certainly easier to complain behind closed doors, ignore or otherwise be passive aggressive... but all that does is create a toxic environment where fear, speculation and rumor rule the day. i think the correct answer is to pull the organizer aside and provide direct feedback on the utility of the meeting... 9/10 times, they will listen and respond in a positive manner.
hot chips though...
Tesla already builds Model 3s with LFP batteries which the announced 2nd generation of CATL Sodium-Ion Batteries will be comparable to in terms of capacity. So not only stationary.
Out of curiosity, are any of them affected models?
Oh no worries! like I said it sort of does the same to me.

Edit: oh - I guess I originally said that but then edited it out.
