Templates are a fancy way of copy&paste programming.

So if you need a lot of template code, then your design or your framework is not well suited for the task.

In software development the goal is usually to move commonly used functions or patterns into a library or a framework, instead of copy&pasting them with slight modifications.
Chez is also also the default backend for Idris 2.

They make money from having lots of customers, not from having a few obsessed fans. I’ve heard this argument before but the kind of people who are obsessed enough to reverse-engineer old games don’t necessarily even play new games. They’re often fans of the old games and don’t play new games, or they’re people who are interested in reverse engineering.

You can release a remaster of an old game, but any reverse-engineered version would be competing with it.
VSCode does have a vim mode.

An obligatory link to an article by Evan Miller about ranking: https://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating...

However, to get the following requirement from the article:

> The algorithm should not produce false negatives, the community should find all high-quality content.

it might be better to estimate the upper confidence bound, like in Upper Confidence Bound bandit, rather than the lower confidence bound.
I would recommend it as well. Once you start getting used to the hotkeys it really speeds things up. They even have commands to send app windows to other monitors.
Well, to be fair, sometimes, especially for short scripts, you're stuck with Python because you know it's going to be available.

Personally, from a syntax point of view, as opposed to an easy availability point of view, I prefer Haskell, or Lisp if you can live with the parentheses. Haskell has some syntactic oddities, and the support for infix operators has encouraged the ecosystem to define way too many obscure </?$+/>-looking things, but the syntax mostly just gets out of your way and is relatively regular.

I do admit that if you're going to be infixy anyway, a C-like "?:" ternary is nice. C got its expressions right.

It is, of course, objectively true that one of the things Python does get right about syntax is the significant whitespace, and Haskell has that too (without the stupid colons). Curly braces are the work of the Devil, and "BEGIN" and "END" are just unmentionable.
I see a fair amount of DNS problems that trace back to "app resolves a DNS name at startup, and never does the lookup again".
> - Some of the most used VSCode hotkeys are browser hotkeys, like Ctrl+T, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+P etc. The functions aren't even rebound to anything else, they're just not available via hotkeys.

On chrome(os) at least if you move the editor to it's own fullscreen window all keys are passed to the editor.

There's probably a way to make this work without requiring the window to be fullscreen.
If nothing else it should be easy to put a fan switch right on the furnace.
One of the best arguments for shared responsibility is that it avoids “not my job” thinking. I’ve seen large organizations burn resources and downtime because developers and ops are in an adversarial relationship where nobody has a stronger sense of responsibility for an application working than they do for shifting the blame to their counterparts. If everyone is getting things escalated to them it tends to cut through that cycle.
Amazon's delivery time targets are more likely to cause accidents than employing pot smokers. As long as their drivers are sober while they're driving, what they do on their own time shouldn't be a problem. What's likely to cause accidents is incentivizing drivers to ignore stop signs and run red lights so they can meet their delivery target metrics.
From its arbitrary mesa-optimisation goal, of course.
"I still think Dutch is closest to English, and data tends to agree"

I'd be curious to see the data. I can understand a bit of german based on my very limited knowledge of dutch, but I struggle in dutch despite speaking english and actively seeking to learn the language.

I find that knowing french is more helpful than english when it comes to dutch. (e.g. "vind je" is "trouves-tu" but it's "do you find" rather than "find you" in english. "ik heb dorst" is "j'ai soif" but it's "I'm thirsty" rather than "I have thirst" in english)
The Bloomberg article this site links to states that "as governments struggle to encourage vaccine skeptics to take the shot, companies are increasingly using access to company premises as a clear incentive."

I wonder if companies overestimate how much their employees like working fully on-site.

Of course, this was how things were in the past for most people. But it's not like work from home is inferior across the board and we're all eager to ditch it once we can. "Tying" vaccination with the possibility to get back to the office sounds like they think that's the case.
Of course Amazon is watching out for their business interest, but they are doing the morally right thing here.

I do not smoke anything as a personal preference and do not enjoy when second-hand smoke and smell affects me but I support legalization for the simple reason that criminalization of marijuana and stigmatization of pot smokers is much much worse.

About taping the fan so all the air goes thru the filter:

How does a filter work? Air that goes thru it, gets particles removed. We want to maximize air that goes thru it, and it should be air that has particles in it.

To make more air go thru the filter, increase the pressure difference between the dirty side and the clean side. Fan speed is how we control this. And getting clean air away from the fan and dirty air to come close to the fan also seems directly related to fan speed - how fast and how far it ejects clean air.

It's all about fan speed, baby.

Plugging up parts of the fan unrelated to the filter cross section, can only slow the fan down. I see no reason why it would help in any way.
I really liked Brackets for CSS files.
Anything is better than nothing. Even if half the air isn't filtered because of bad fit, that is still half the air that is filtered.
Agree, would much rather this was an open source project like Anki and then charge for extra services like cloud sync or whatever to generate revenue.

I feel very uncomfortable contributing huge amounts of content to a product that I have no control over. With no Linux version I can only submit all my data to the cloud. It does appear you can export to JSON or Anki deck though so you could always do regular exports to ensure you have a copy of your data.
For many at UBS this is going to be an invitation to leave. UBS is in the business of asset management and investment banking; these are two areas where relationship building is very important and it's hard to do that over zoom. Sure, for a few months, you can maybe swing it, but if this policy lasts long term, say goodbye to any chance of a promotion, if they let you stick around at all. Sure, maybe some support staff can swing it, but if you're a banker there, you're gonna have to be vaxxed.

Meaning most people can drink alcohol without fear of being tested for past use in a work context. We don't regulate it in the workplace the way we regulate pot use.
> they're not equivalent

They are not, but AFAIK these concepts are somewhat close, at least on the high level.

The developers were not distributing the game, the game engine they made is useless without the assets. The developers probably obtained their copies of the games legally. AFAIK, their primary motivation was to make the game work better on modern computers (that’s why the rendering patches), and to make the game run on the platforms not supported by Rockstar such as ARM Linux on Raspberry Pi. The laws regulating reverse engineering often have exceptions for compatibility purpose. Most importantly, the developers have not profited from their work, they did it for fun.
I suspect there is.

The reason we don't see more cases is because it's very hard to prove that you got the disease from a workplace rather than from some other source.

Also, there aren't many workplace-transmissible diseases in the first world that are too deadly.

Workplace injuries like getting injured by machines are far easier to prove.
I think you have it upside-down. It's tobacco and alcohol that have special treatment, not pot.

My main guess for that special treatment is merely that tobacco and alcohol were global when we started taking care about global health issues, so we left them, but banned any newcomer
Well I am all in favor of legalizeing, but there is side effect: those who are smoking in public, cigarette but especially pot, must have harsh consequence. I go to some place in US and it is stinking everywhere on public streets. People can not force everybody to inhale their drug fume only because they want their high.

Edit for clarifying: maybe a $200 fine is good point for starting, go up to $500 with repeating. I also think many smoker drop cigarette butts and we need greater fine for that if it will stop.

>All you are doing when you post something like this is causing a visceral reaction in the people that need to get vaccinated of "fuck you internet guy, I am not listening to you, I am not getting vaccinate!"

This hypothetical person was never going to get vaccinated anyway. The only way "preaching" would cause the outcome you describe would be if that adult had the maturity and oppositional defiance of a toddler.
Id i understood correctly the teick they tried allowed them to treat short term gains as long term. Reducing their tax fron 35% to maybe 20%. So those 6.9 billion was 20% of their profits. Meaning the full amount of their profits were around 35 billion. That's crazy! A money printing machine.

So I remember the times when programmers were power users and were poking fun at “lamers” and “lusers” who always went like “I clicked something and a message appeared, what do I do?”

Part of it is just different climate. The west coast is mostly what is called Mediterranean, which means we have almost no rain during the summer months. By August everything is dry as a bone and ready to burn. Don't you guys get rain pretty much year round?
It's not a decompiled copy. A decompiled copy is not useful for anything, as it would have to be recompiled. State of the art decompiles produce incomprehensible garbage, rarely even possible to compile.

In such projects, what's distributed is a recreation of the compiled form of the original software, bearing little resemblance to what the original creators worked on. In terms of work and creativity involved, it's more like watching a movie, summarizing the plot, and then plugging back the holes to make another movie that has the same feel.

I don't know about fair use, but if the defendants are not in the US, then the concept of fair use is not even necessarily in play.
My point was that the quote is meaningless because "essential" is not defined. I'm not sure how this became specifically about driving vehicles. Many people use this quote to suggest any loss of freedom for security is unjust. But obviously we're all ok with restricting the right to straight up murder someone with your bare hands.

Is it an essential freedom to not wear a mask? I think not. you may disagree.

If is an essential freedom to leave your home? I'd say 99.999% of the time yes but exceptions do exist.
True. But some part of that propaganda is from pot smokers themselves. Some enjoy the image of the laid-back happy carefree pothead. Their cult leaders (used to be) Cheech and Chong.

Maybe they've just bought in to someone elses' worldview. But I don't think so.

Also, the ranking algorithm should take into account the rank of the content when the upvote happened - 10 upvotes for a content on the 5th page is much more impressive than 10 upvotes for a content on the 1st page (keeping everything else constant).
First of all I agree with you. But I would like to note one aspect of this that has always been true. Many times the error message itself is terrible. They say that an error happened and then they give you absolutely no context for the error. My favorite example is when an application happily bubbles up the error from the operating system when a File read/write operation fails. The OS will tell what kind of operation failed. It won't tell you which file you were trying to read or write. It won't tell you what location you were trying to read or write. Basically none of the context you need to really understand what went wrong. You'll have to go read the code in order to mentally reconstruct what the context is. It's silly. If you are writing a file and don't at a minimum catch and then wrap the error with an error of your own that adds the necessary context then you are contributing to the problem here. And that's just one common example. There are many more.

Yes, I feel the Mac grossly overdid it in the 80s.

In general we still suffer from two terrible conventions from the 80s: the choice of application-centric silos rather than the document-centric model, and the bias towards the mouse (which was really a sop to fearful baby boomers) only recently partial broken by the iphone interface.
Well no, there are serious health risk associated with weed. Maybe alcohol have them too, yes both deserve legality, but this is not to say it is "safe", especially in young.
As marijuana becomes increasingly legalized, I'm not sure why any company would continue to test for it, other than maybe using saliva tests to make sure workers aren't getting high on the job.
I dunno. Background checks include DUIs.

I think the only solution for this is when "support" includes education. In the simplest form, we can give support by helping that colleague to find the issue himself, rather than giving the solution directly.

Pay attention to the last two dates. NINE DAYS after this "trustworthy news source" said SARS-CoV-2 "almost certainly" didn't come from a lab, it tried to distance itself and the Democratic Party from that position, characterizing it as something from "last year."

The politicization of news is not trustworthy. The editorialization in the headlines is not trustworthy. The dismissal of plausible hypotheses is not trustworthy. The doublespeak when the evidence is finally overwhelming is not trustworthy.

The very premises of this study are flawed.
But now you only have to provide a native language tutorial of wikifunctions instead of recreating all the vast information available in different languages. It is perhaps unfortunate that English is the default medium, but such is life. We can’t really get to do anything together without a common language, but I don’t see how choosing one of the most spoken second languages as common ground is discriminating. It is inclusive to the widest amount of people over not having such a functionality.

Whether it's legal for you to run the program is a separate issue. The fact is: the code is distributed to anyone who can access GitHub, not only people who have legitimate copies of GTA3.

I agree with the author's stresses. What they miss in their recollection of the halcyon days of large teams of experts is that it's extraordinarily expensive and (in many cases!) potentially wasteful of business resources to have experts on staff to maintain stable equipment.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate well operating systems and the people who make that happen. There is going to be a beancounter wondering whether the very expensive, trained engineer can operate faster/cheaper.
In Lithuania there is the "opportunity passport" which was designed to show you are safe. You can get it if you are fully vaccinated, have recovered (identified by a positive PCR test or have antibodies), or have had a negative PCR test in the last 48 hours. This allows you to show you are 'safe' without disclosing whether you have been vaccinated or not, so it solves the privacy issue.

There is of course controversy even with this, as the government is saying unvaccinated people will have to pay for PCR tests to get this (before it was free) and it appears with the Delta variant there is a much higher risk of breakthrough infections.

Personally I think what the UK is doing and giving out rapid antigen tests for free and encouraging people - even those fully vaccinated - to do them often (twice weekly) is a much better way of approaching this, but of course it's expensive and you need to trust people to actually do it.
So in your world there are no seatbelt laws and people are free to drink raw milk? Must be nice.
