> There is no possible way to make a decent security system in a GUI that doesn't involve dialogs popping up in some way. That's the essence of what a GUI is, if you don't like dialogs then you should probably not be using a GUI at all.

Really? A GUI to you is just constant dialog boxes? That sounds like some kind of hell. There are a lot of mechanisms of interaction in a GUI that aren't "OK/Cancel" prompts.

Let's take file permissions as an example. I have a text editor, or a paint program, or an audio editor, and I want to open a file and work on it. One way to ask for permission is the mobile model "give this application access to your documents?", which is garbage. Another way is to open a file dialog that is controlled by the OS and have it pass in a file of your choosing[0] thus granting permission to that one file by active choice, and yet another way would be to have the user drag and drop a file from a file browser into the application window (or onto its icon), again granting permission via explicit user action. As I mentioned in one of my original links, RiscOS even used drag and drop saving, whereby an application desiring to save a file gave you an icon to drag to wherever you want to store it, which again could be handled by the OS and this the application needs no write permissions granted to arbitrary locations.

Let's try something other than files. How about cameras? You could go the mobile route "let this application use any and all cameras on your system now and forever?", or you could have a mechanism where by pressing a hotkey (or something) you get access to a devices panel where you can put a check mark on an individual camera you'd like to use, or you could do something more like Arcan where instead of selecting a device you instead pipe a video stream into the application which may or may not be originated by a camera, perhaps by using some kind of GUI composition method similar to a what you see in DAWs.

Sadly this space is relatively unexplored as far as I can tell, with developers mostly preferring "Ok/Cancel" prompts, possibly because they require a minimum of effort on their part.

> I can't really agree with your second paragraph, I tried to use Arcan and didn't find it simple, easy to use, or convenient, nor did it have any remarkable ideas.

I have never used it and have not even have a Linux Desktop installed on any of my machines for about a year, so I can't say. I'm intrigued, but not yet enough to bother screwing with Linux Desktop again. I would generally agree that none of its ideas are remarkable, or rather that the only thing remarkable about them is how none of them are really new, yet they're still practically magic compared to the current paradigms.

> It seems to be a re-spin of some really old failed ideas from the late 80s

Some things fail not because they are bad ideas, but because they were before their time, had bad luck, bad marketing, or other difficulties unrelated to their worth.

Not fair. Very few laptops have serial port (I came up with GPD Micro PC) and maybe zero have modem, but some laptops have VGA port. Manufacturers know that VGA is still used but serial/modem aren't.
Why carry a stick of modules instead of a single dongle[1] that has every port you'd need?

Here's the relevant excerpt, lightly edited for clarity and accuracy:

> I mean, Instagram server is still a big Python codebase. It's Django at the core, I mean, it still runs through the Django request handling stack, and the middleware and views and URL routing, all of that is still Django. It looks familiar to any Django developer. Just very big, lots of views, lots of URLs, lots of code. There's a lot of, I mean, obviously, the ORM we don't use anymore, the admin is very much based on the ORM, so that's not in use anymore. And there's a lot of components, where Django provides kind of pluggable back ends, like sessions and authentication, and for all of that stuff, we've essentially rewritten the entire system. But we're actually still using the sort of Django API for those things, because it's pluggable. So I would call that a success story, I mean, in that we've been able to very smoothly migrate away from the components that that no longer worked at our scale, in many cases without even having to change the client code touching those subsystems because Django provides this ability to swap out the back end. So yeah, and you know, the Django core requests support that we still use, we're 100% async now, so already a few years ago, we kind of forked and modified a bunch of that to support async, or concurrent handling of multiple requests using async IO. So there have been some changes.
Yes. Transition periods are always painful in that respect, worsened this time as a ton of “business” line windows laptops still have a HDMI port, same for Dell’s linux offering for instance.

When the first full USB-C Macs went out they definitely were the odd ones out in the company, and even now there’s still that split between run of the mill windows laptops and macs. Adaptors are more common, but it’s still not great.
Short-term stock price changes are noise.

Berkshire's investments are based on a deep understanding of the business and are intended to produce good long-term results. Factors like economic moat, trends in consumption, conservative valuation, etc.

For example, Berkshire purchased Apple (AAPL) between 2016 and 2018, at an average price of $35 per share (P/E ratio of 12 or 13), and it was years before that paid off. The Redditors buy during those years, before the payoff.

> relying on a “simulation crutch” to learn feels too ham-handed. A human doesn’t need to suffer a fatal accident to learn how to drive a car.

Yet the humans spend ⅓ of their time dreaming (some in REM, most not), and if that process is blocked, their learning rate drops to almost nil.
The interesting point here is that the unbundling of BI is resulting in tools for every occasion. What I'm seeing on my end is that the "modern data stack" is starting to become very fragmented as a result.

Sure, each of these tools are better suited to accomplishing a very specific task with your data. But the problem is that now these tools aren't talking to each other. No one has a single place to view their data end-to-end. No one can show me every automated process in their organization that relies on a specific table. Everything is tied together with trust. Trust that the Data Engineering team won't deploy bad code. Trust that the API won't change how it returns data. Trust that the data actually loaded completely.

This trust-based system means that one problem during ingestion/cleaning ends up spelling disaster for all of the downstream ML models, reports, data extracts, etc. and causes a day worth of headaches to resolve.

If BI used to hold everything together under one roof, we need something to make these tools talk to each other. The only solution, as I see it, is to build out better data orchestration that effectively glues these tools together and lets you see the "big picture" with your data.

Capslock exists to make typing in allcaps easy. I use it most when I'm in a C project with lots of macros. I use it about as often as I use ten-key -- just enough to justify its existence, not enough to find alternatives in every os/editor/browser/etc that I use.

Well, Facebook's own researchers wrote reports (cited last week in the WSJ's Facebook Papers articles) that said that Instagram was worse for teenage girls mental health than either Snapchat or Tik-Tok. So there are gradations of how bad a for-profit social media company can be, and Facebook seems to be worse along several axis.

> If I could give my younger self advice, it would be to NEVER go work for a company unless you were absolutely passionate about their mission. Never work for the money. You could work for the money and die rich, never having lived authentically. Or you could live authentically, rich or poor, and die satisfied.

I liked the article. It was an authentic (I assume) personal story. It wasn't a "strawman," or a "this is the way things should be" thing. It was a fairly plain-spoken personal chronicle.

I enjoyed it, and wish the author well.

For myself, I worked at a company that had a mission I was passionate about. I'm also a xenophile, and it was a Japanese company. I was fascinated by the Japanese commitment to Quality (at that company). I like working in teams; the more varied and exotic, the better.

I joined, planning on an 18-month stay (like my previous two gigs), but left, 27 years later.

I made some effort to find new work, after leaving that company, but became quite disillusioned with the process. I had acquired a "nest egg" that would allow me to retire, early. After a few insulting and rather demoralizing interactions with a few corporations, I decided that it was time to hang up my chinos, and write the code I always wanted to write, the way I wanted to write it; with no one taking a dump on it.

I have never been happier. I am probably working harder than I ever have, in my life, and having a blast.

If you were writing pure JS you'd probably need to intentionally delay text entry with setTimeout/etc to achieve this effect - I don't think you can achieve this outcome by accident.

The problem is that the front-end ecosystem encourages pulling in megabytes of third-party crap for every little thing (including poorly reinventing existing browser functionality) and the result is that some interaction between all that mess causes an entire page redraw upon every keystroke or similar.
Scotland does have excellent meat and produce - the Aberdeen Angus and Scottish Salmon for example.

The standard of food in the lowlands is generally poor - especially outside of Edinburgh. But there is a lot of absolutely cracking Scottish/British food in the Highlands.

Of course, it's not as good for a foodie as somewhere like London, NYC or Tokyo. But it's a lot better than the kebabs, pizza crunches and munchie boxes that people associate with Scotland.
Yup, I'm singing praise to Framework here.

The sanest system I've seen in a decade at least.

I don't even need a new laptop, and I still want this one.
I'm not positive, but I think they were talking about Apple's competitors rather than their users. Samsung, for example, dropped the aux port for dongles soon after Apple.
This is fantastic. An open-source e-reader that has all the niceties that one expects from a kindle would be awesome, and this looks like it has the potential to eventually become that.
Uh.. why was it so hard? do you not talk to each other about whether you're liking your job, or planning to stay, regularly?
Sometimes YouTube, sometimes cookbooks, and sometimes if I go to a restaurant and if there's a particular dish I like I'll just ask. Most places are happy to tell you. For all though if there's something that I think it could be better I'll just experiment and add or remove stuff.
Front-running is nothing new, this is simply a game of follow-the-leader where copying a group's investment strategy is done until larger players learn to frontrun or adversarially trade against the aforementioned frontrunners entering in. For example, a scanner may pick up an SEC filing published at 4:01 PM saying that the CEO, CFO, and CIO all purchased shares in their company, and traders would buy shares aftermarket before most institutions/derivative traders would see the report tomorrow morning. I'd guess that today's active investing crowd is a lot more interested in seeing outsize short-term returns based on information asymmetry than members of congress who more likely to hold in order to get long term capital gains tax applied.

But then you lose the flexibility of using one port in many different ways. What we need is some standard color coding or other clear visual indicator on cables to reflect their capabilities.

I agree, I would much prefer to order at a counter and bus myself. Even for business meetings.
I’m not saying checkout for 8 hours, or to not try. You’re right, it’s at least 1/3rd of your life, you may as well do your best. It’s just, I don’t see the reason why everyone has to be passionate about their “company” and drink the koolaid. The company doesn’t care about you, someone somewhere in some leadership position has problematic morals, the person sitting across from you may have checked out, and your life / well-being is being dominated by someone that only cares about you inasmuch as you can give them something that helps them. You didn’t elect anyone in this position to rule you and you may or may not have had any input in the colleagues that were hired to work with you. No wonder people are so unhappy and burnt out right now… So don’t give your “company” any more of your soul than you have to, and certainly don’t give them your passion. Save that for yourself, your family, your friends, your side projects. A day job is trading the best hours of your life for someone else’s gain, don’t give them more than you have to.
That's true, with some big disclaimers:

1. You won't see those discounts in certain categories (e.g. full length Stephen King novels). Whereas with physical books, you can expect to find cheap used ones no matter the author (unless it's a rare book or something).

2. You have to time purchases to the discount availability. With used physical books - as long as the book is popular enough - you can get that discount at any time.
I think with this one it is, because everyone has tasted before, but comparatively few have coded before. So everyone can say something about their subjective taste experiences, but not so many can about some code. The actual difference might be subjective or one of practiced ability to distinguish in detail.

There is also the aspect of science and engineering leading to objective an hopefully reproducible results. There is less subjective matter to it and there are objective criteria to measure quality. It is possible to leave personal taste out of the equation. Imagine a michelin star tester eating and having to throw up, because of taste, even though the kitchen is clean and all ingredients were of superb quality and the cook is really good. Would they still approve objectively?
Because we need to define "dangerous" - the authors and you are making an assumption that what they call "inattention" is the same as "dangerous" whereas the comment you are replying to is questioning that assumption. If the link between "inattention" and accident rates is strong, then measuring that should be equivalent.

In medicine there is a concept of measuring disease-oriented outcomes instead of patient-oriented outcomes, because it's easier to show an intervention affects the disease-oriented outcomes, and much harder to show a change in patient-oriented outcomes.

So for example, a disease-oriented ourcome for hip-replacement surgery would be "range of movement after 2 weeks", patient-oriented might be "can go up a flight of stairs"

The analogy here seems relevant.
This won't replace the first hand reccomendations in this thread but there is a website that is going to feel like it was made just to answer your question if you haven't heard of it.

Yeah totally. It was ridiculously not worth it for him, but I understand why the business would rather work with clients at that price level than deal with someone who can do it by hand in a few hours and just happens to be lazy.
> Accordingly, this paper explores the effect of having heroes in project, from a code quality perspective by analyzing 1000+ open source GitHub projects.

Oh gross. Open source projects?

And the paper's sanity checks are:

- one pull request.
- more than 20 commits.
– at least 50 weeks of activity.
– more than 10 issues.
– at least 8 contributors.

Secondly, the majority of the projects they looked at have the majority of their code as shell:

Language Projects
Shell 416
JavaScript 396
HTML 344
CSS 314
Python 291
Makefile 229
Ruby 216

CMake 48
M4 43
CoffeeScript 38
Roff 35
Roff 35
C-Sharp 34
Emacs Lisp 30
Gherkin 26
Perl 6 21

And yes, they list Roff twice. This paper is really saying "In open source rando libraries on github, usually there is one person who does the majority of the work".

The hero problem most people are talking about in software engineering are heroes at paid jobs, working on codebases with 2000+ commits, in teams of 10s to 10000s. I'm not sure this paper provides any reasonable insights to how we work together.

Nick Shabazz on YouTube has good reviews of one of the limited-edition top-end Oceanus models, OCW-S5000C-1AJF:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTXFG27NNhI

and the entry-level OCW-T200:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELn3ubqjVWU

There's a few good sites offering export of Japan-only models from the various Japanese manufacturers:
https://www.shoppinginjapan.net/
https://www.sakurawatches.com/

I'm trying to find enough room in my meager budget for a T200, as it seems they may be discontinuing the model with the light blue dial. Slightly more expensive than the most basic Apple watch.

Assuming you're in the US, have you had to deal with Casio USA for service at all? Since the Oceanus models are Japan-only, I am wondering if they would even bother offering any repairs.
That seems unnecessarily cruel to draw an invisible line that’s always changing and shock them for violating the line. The reason this is ok for dogs is because they’re in a fixed location and can learn the boundaries. The goats on the other hand are always being moved to new areas.

A couple of things to try that may help:

Alt+Tab (switch between open programs) - might help change the focus

Windows 10 has an advanced version of ^ as I understand, which uses the key combo: Win + Tab. The cycle of these commands can be reversed by adding "shift" to the mix (in case of many open programs / windows and you dont want to cycle through all of them)

Win+x has different, but equally useful menus for win 8 / win 10 - I was overjoyed when i first discovered this, as it retired many many other shortcuts I used over the years. (to get to device manager / control panel / event viewer)

and if all else fails: Alt+F4 - closes active (focused) program / window. If no programs or windows are in focus, then it will bring up the "shut down" dialog box, which allows for reboot / signout / shutdown / Switch user / sleep and hibernation if its enabled.
Memorization is only an issue if you allow it to be.

Sure, it's a potential problem that can appear in the process implementing a deep learning solution. It's not an insurmountable problem. But the fact that still appears seems like an indication the situation in deep learning is more complicated than "overparameterization is not a problem".
Err, no? We may have an unexpected (to me) dialect barrier. To the best of my knowledge, McDonalds serves primarily burgers (is a burger what you're calling a sandwich?), Starbucks serves (coffee aside) mostly sandwiches, and also salads and stuff.

(It is about ten and three years since I've been to one, respectively, but I doubt that much has changed!)

How can you say Django is not as polished when you haven't even used it?

Laravel is a great framework, but the tooling in PHP is amateur hour by comparison. The app ecosystem in Django is only comparable to Rails'.
I don't think it's racism, necessarily, because it holds true for our naturalized citizens of any race. You could charge me with some sort of dread nationalism. I still wouldn't agree, but it's closer to my espoused basis. Also, for context: I am the child of a naturalized citizen from a very poor country, which very much colors my opinion.

It's not so much that I hold these people to lower moral or ethical standards; it's moreso that my morals and ethics are entirely arbitrary, based on nothing more than what values I choose to hold. My standards are the same for everyone and everything, which is that my standard will be whatever it is at the moment I choose to query what my position is. Is this wildly inconsistent? Yes. Is it universalizable? No. But it's the best I've got, and it's what commits me the least.
