For me two things consistently helped:

- Light to medium exercise in the morning. I try to hit the sweetspot where I come home from the gym tired, but not exhausted. A shower, breakfast and coffee jolt me back up and get me in the zone.

- Doing short mindfulness meditation immediately before work. It's nice on its own, but I think the real value is in creating negative space between pre-work chores and work.
Yeah, it should be almost free to host given that it's completely static.
Some packages give you options for different packages that conflict. E.g. if you install i3 it will let you choose between standard i3, i3-gaps or 5 others. You can only have one installed at a time.

I've been using Pacman for years never had a single problem with conflicts or anything else.
They have cloned cloudflare's captcha page. How shady.
It seems this is really an abuse of the whole unreasonable effectiveness meme, there is no way that 1 on 1s are as unreasonably effective as math is, in fact I think in our arguing about it we are hard pressed to agree that they are even reasonably effective!

To be unreasonably effective I suppose something should handle problems most of the time and only fail on a few edge cases, in which case if we want to accept one on ones as unreasonably effective I think the next step is to write an article The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Falsehoods Programmers commonly believe about Names, or addresses or any of the other suppositions that we are commonly wrong about, because I think our misconceptions about these things are as a general more likely to succeed than not, which is as unreasonably effective as one on ones are.

Yes, and they did say they were going to file bugs:

In my opinion there are two main reasons:

1. Parallel programming is hard: Everybody programs for multiple cores now, but this makes the program architecture much more complicated and dealing with errors much harder. You have all kinds of threads or green threads doing things in the background, each of which may fail in various ways, and you to deal with this asynchronous command execution somehow. The indeterminacy of such processes is the cause of unexpected behavior that makes an application look unprofessional. As a drastic example, you press a button, it starts doing something, and then shows a spinning wheel of death until an automated timeout is met after 2 minutes.

2. GUI frameworks are much worse today than twenty years ago: For example, web application frameworks consist of layers of different programming languages and document formats (JS, HTML, CSSS, frameworks on top of that, and maybe another programming language connecting with all this mess) running in web browser (or some kind of half-baked emulation of a web browser!). It's a wonder these work at all. Desktop and mobile frameworks not based on web technology are often thin layers on top of SDL nowadays. This means they reinvent everything, and it's very, very hard to do this correctly. Even native OS controls/widgets often have problems, and these have been fine-tuned by Apple and Microsoft for decades. Your multiline edit field behaves weird? That's the reason why. Write your own multiline rich text editor with image support and you'll see why this is hard.

In terms of QA, it seems that once native user interfaces are given up, an "anything goes" mentality becomes prevalent. Maybe it's because companies think they compete with web apps (=even worse user interface) rather than native apps.

Tl;dr Programmers have been piling crap on top of crap for two decades now, and if you combine that with parallel programming and connections between multiple layers, it's going to be fragile and error-prone.

The internet brought with it constant updates, and with that, we have now entered the age of planned obsolescence. Now the majority of users with spending power are forced to upgrade to the latest devices, which has removed the hardware constraints of old. With little to no hardware constraints on both the user and developer end, performance optimization has now taken a back seat in the list of priorities for shipping product.
Cause sadly KR > O

Management is by now mostly "OKR: Objective Key Result" driven.

But the performance review mostly focused on the KR as its designed for measurbility, the O is an afterthought.

Should be the other way round. Isn't. I by now quite often (when the company works with OKR but the quality that comes out product wise sucks over multiple time periods) recommend to trash the KR completely and only focus on the O.

Yep, constantly restarting PCs, having to kill random rogue processes in Task Manager (even explorer for some reason), having the alert come up in internet explorer that a script was taking too long, the list goes on and on.

There have been a lot of improvements in the meantime that have led to better software, amongst others: version control, automated tests, automated deployments and more useful programming languages.

Perhaps we can use Qubes Air for that: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/22/qubes-air/.

I wish I wrote down all these kinds of things my kids have said. One thing I remember is my daughter explaining, full of confidence, to her brother that in summer the ice sinks to the bottom of the canal and it comes up in winter. Which is a very good hypothesis if you don’t know about phase changes in matter.

Kids always say these kinds of things because the models of the world in their little heads are incomplete. But then, for who are they complete, really?
I would ask you to please identify the ones to which you apply this criticism, for epistemic hygiene.

Let's see what (and how it) lands in C2x. Of course, as any other language, C might be taken over in the future by a new generation and be bloated, too. But so far, it is contained.

In any case, nobody can deny the amount of bloat in C++ has no parallel.

I might do, in a limited and simpler form, as I said before. Of course I am not developing something like SKIA; just firmware in a limited and constrained environment (not even using std).

At first define piracy and only then it would be possible to determine whether something is or is not piracy.

This is a vague and imprecise description. If you are going to make definitive claims, you need a serious definition.
I try too but it's basically impossible. I was on the hunt for a dumb tv the other day only to realize that there is simply none on the market. Literally not a single one that's larger than 65" that I could find and for the few ones that do exist the panels are pretty bad.

I keep seeing this. Docker in no way replaces virtual machines. Can someone explain?
Many old tools were theme-able. Windows was most theme-able up to XP probably. This power was reduced with windows 7 Aero and these days windows look like Mac out of the box.

Winrar was theme-able and still is to this date. Winamp is the best example.

Now days, just like web, most desktop software look same. Innovation in design finished at Apple. All Android phone manufacturers copy iPhone. Windows copy Mac. Even when Linux tried to bring itself to masses, it copied Mac.

Apple has got the cultural victory and has penetrated everywhere.
Or make quality one of your KRs.
In a nutshell, this is what I'm going with these days: Compositionality failure.

Software is built without thinking about whether will compose. How it will compose.

The elements that make things compose can be defined as the strange word compositionality. The "laws" that make things composable if they are followed. The properties that things can have to make them composable.

An API is more composable than a stateful mishmash of library functions. Now let's imagine that underneath the API there is a core data structure that has its properties and relationships clearly and usefully defined. Can we automatically generate the API code for it? We should be able to, at least to a significant degree. Then that's more composable. More compositional.
There have been a number of studies linking artificial sweeteners to changes in gut biome (which can be a lot more serious than it sounds). Here is one recent example: https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/artificial-sweeteners-can-...

I totally disagree with that. However, I was a Mac user during the 90s. In my experience, software was very reliable then. Of course, you had to be careful with extensions and other software that could crash the whole system, but once you got a stable system it remained fast and stable. Weird things only happened after Apple transitioned to OS X -- the first versions of OS X with their spinning beach ball of death really were awful.

This isn't the author, but he is one of my colleagues.

The pattern of someone being 'that person' to handle incidents is something I've seen many times before. It's a situation that can–at first–be very positive for the individual, but can become an organisational issue (with bus factor) and a source of resentment if left too long.

Isaac (author) is someone I watched be one of these people, and then later support others in avoiding becoming that person, or at least mitigating the negatives.
This doesn't seem to contain the source code for the app itself.
"Quasar" goes to luminosity, and our galaxy could never have been as luminous as any quasar we know of without some mechanism to totally block fast (matter) outflows and another to block the quenching of star formation from the negative feedback of a highly luminous galactic centre.

Our central black hole is very quiet (as opposed to active), at least a dozen orders of magnitude below the Eddington luminosity in X-rays. Quasars are at (or a very large percentage of) the Eddington luminosity, almost certainly for at least Gyr durations.

The Fermi bubbles are interesting, but around luminous AGNs (at all redshifts) we tend to find extended outflows in ionized ("hibals") and molecular gasses, and afaik we don't see anything like that associated with those gammas. AFAIR there is also a missing ~ 1250 angstrom restframe peak and an associated relativistic wind's redshift (0.1-0.2 c or 30-60 Mm/s) leading to line driving. About a decade ago there was a fair amount of discussion about the Fermi bubbles as evidence of a (not so high) luminosity AGN jet, but it seemed to require contrivances to drop in a sufficiently massive molecular cloud (~ 10^5 solar masses around 10^7 years ago, but don't quote me, not my speciality, and I was already convinced about the present << quasar luminosity (and no trace of tremendous variability or eruptive phase up to considerably more than a few percent of the Eddington luminosity) and by the stellar population).
Previously: "We want to deploy apps as isolated units we can have variable amounts of instances of, so we make VM images and deploy them to AWS/our VMWare cluster/...". Now: "..., so we make Docker containers and deploy them to AWS/our Kubernetes cluster/...". Hence, Docker replaced virtual machines in a way.

Just wanted to vent that, for whatever reason, after about half hour, let's say one hour of constant chatting on Google Hangouts the whole interface starts to lag, inputting text certainly "develops" a lag, it becomes very annoying, often times I have to close and re-open the browser instance just to kind of "reset" the whole thing.

I'm on a MacMini from 2018 (I think) with 16GB of memory, on the latest version of Chrome, still can't believe Google "bug-regressed" on something as basic as online chatting through a browser. I was able to chat in a Netscape 4 instance on a 5x86 (or similar) more than 20 years ago with no such inconveniences.

Data mining was in the original Gmail TOS.
Interesting approach. The use of a numerical solver for the indeterminate coefficients is clever, but also not without dangers. One major drawback is that it tends to destroy the symbolic form of the coefficients. E.g., integrate(x^pi) will give 0.24145300700522387(x^4.141592653589793) rather than (x^(pi+1))/(pi+1). Another, more damaging, problem is that incorrect integrals can be found within the given tolerance. Trying a couple of examples from the Readme, I quickly ran into this: integrate(x^2/(16 + x^2)) with the default tolerance gives

0.0032(x^3) + 0.08374(x^2)*atan((-1//4)*x) + 0.61083x*log(16 + x^2) - 1.68734x - 0.09989x*((16 + x^2)^-1)

Only after manually setting a tighter tolerance is the correct result reported: x - 4 atan(x/4). The difference is not just cosmetic. Near zero both results are within tolerance, but the first result is very badly wrong for large x (try x=20).

Here is how to become a morning person:

1. Wake up ridiculous early. Let’s say 5am (not that ridiculous).

2. Force yourself out of bed with a purpose. If necessary provide external motivation by priming pets or children to demand things of you at this time, be somewhere such a morning run with a group.

3. After the priming event do not go back to bed. Instead get ready for the day by showering, getting dressed, eating breakfast. Personally I put these on hold as I am already thinking about writing, a software enhancement, or where I last left off on some new game.

4. Start your daily routine whether that is driving to work or logging in from a home office.

5. Become engaged in the priorities of the day.

The trick is to have purpose and remain constantly engaged with drugs like caffeine. You will get drowsy as mind fades from purpose into a relaxed steady state, but by that point you are well out of early morning. At that point you can have caffeine if you need it.

Remain engaged for the rest of the day. You will become tired by early evening unless you are the kind of person that needs very little sleep. I tend to get by on 4.5 to 5.5 hours myself.

The worst thing you can do in this process is consume alcohol.
> If I'm "lucky" something has gone wrong that needs my immediate attention

I'm in the same boat. I usually procrastinate until something comes up.

Maybe a way could be to leave stuff from previous day in unfinished state so there's motivation to start the day with it.
