A sibling comment mentioned this comment being weird. It strikes me as "weird" too. That doesn't mean it is not relatable. But if you are also struck by what is weird about this comment, you might enjoy taking a look at: https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/inspiration-porn-c08b419... (which links to Stella Young's TEDx presentation).
Ah, I've not considered that, I've always signed contracts on premise.
No matter, race still seems to be a criteria in their hiring process and that's.. racist.
The way "Cc" is drawn makes it harder to read for me for some reason. Almost as if the letter is about to fuse with the next one.

>Different terminals of capitals

Doesn't really work well for me.
I not believe in this with progression of echo chambers.
> Restaurants dig out paper menus for me

Not any more ... I've been to restaurants with no paper menu and no way to pay except online. I was not willing to do it but my friend was so rather than forcing him to leave I let him order and pay and then vowed to never go there again
It's in the article. About the diameter of a garden hose.
maybe it's just me but the tone of this comment reads unnecessarily hostile
Apple charges nearly double so clearly they must be better

Sure, it makes sense to protest if the issue is important and overlooked enough to pay the price of cracked skulls and prison sentences to raise awareness. Civil rights seems like it fit the bill - I grew up later but at least with my modern sensibilities I'd have happily gone up against the police for that cause. The right to skip just another vaccination (probably the sixth or seventh that you've been forced to take in your life) without losing your job doesn't seem comparable to me, but if people want to make this their hill to die on, sure...
IME you could usually go fast without knowing the level by heart, yeah.
Metaphors are not just prevalent in how we speak, they are central to how we think.

The book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphors_We_Live_By is a seminal work on this.
The place where education takes place is not the key. Content is. Children should be educated to evaluate information.
Really goes to show that observations of "newly tyrannical governments" are made by those who have had the good fortune to not be of demographics on the receiving end of these draconian laws. Decades of complacency and the weed of crime bitter fruit. Chickens come home to roost.
I made Tetris[0] on mine a few years back. Surprisingly, at almost the exact same time the Tetris MicroCard[1] was released, which was an officially licensed Tetris device based on the Arduboy. It was a crazy coincidence.

I still love my Arduboy! It's really fun to program on.

I have family who live in an authoritarian dictatorship and there is a lot of news coverage of Trudeau's decision - why? Because they parade it around as "evidence that allowing protest is dangerous to a countries stability" and "see what hypocrites the so-called democracies are?"

And the next time farmers protest because their land is being taken away and given to multinational corporations, they crackdown and say "see? we're just like Canada, these people are criminals and we need to restore order".

Being admired by thuggish dictatorships doesn't exactly reflect well on Canada.
> OO cowboys will want to have a whole polymorphic soup of collaborating objects. Say no to the OO-ist. When you nest and branch conditionals, all you need to do is read the code from top to bottom. Like a great novel, one simple linear prose of code. With the OO-overboard paradigm, it's like a terrible choose-your-own-adventure kid's book. You're constantly flipping between classes and juggling patterns and so many more complex concepts. Just if-things out and you'll be fine.

This is meant sarcastically, but I think this is actually one example of where a lot of backlash against OO comes from, especially in 2022.
So probably about the same as most VC companies.

In democracies, we tend to ignore things when they only get 20% support, and that's if nobody is actively being harmed.

I hope that the convoys are not only completely cut off from economic support, but also that the people driving those trucks are identified and prevented from ever crossing the border into the US. Truck driving is a decent job. Be a shame if some of them were forced to earn a living doing something else from now on.
Don't do that, use a JVM that includes JavaFX, as this project seems to do.
If you use SDKMAN, there are a couple of vendors, including Zulu, that distribute the latest JDKs with JavaFX included.
Honestly, i can‘t even read this. This is my biggest fear. Respect to anyone who keeps programming blind.
To me, you guys and girls are geniuses.
I liked what my old boss did, it's quite traditional way of doing things. He gave us a long-term task/project (order of months) to work on, that would challenge us enough, by patiently explaining what has to be done. He gave us complete authority of how we want to do things that have to be done (the longer perspective of the work you have, the better you can get at optimizing yourself doing it). Then he made sure that we are making steady progress (about weekly, but could be shorter), and also made sure that all other external pressures go through him, so we wouldn't be distracted from that one goal too much.

I think this is the best system, and I read the top comment and that's pretty similar. The article is not a particularly good advice, nor is "agile self-managing teams". IMHO management is not a rocket science, it's just people's intuitions about how to do it right are often very wrong.
I kinda expected this as the top comment. It's just so simple stupid yet it's a wonder that a lot of people discover it the hard way and most still haven't.

I think it just comes down to fear of rejection in the end. Making a product, adding features, working on things and even showing your "cool" demo to friends isn't same as asking strangers for money.. because people can say a million nice things about what you have to offer until you ask them to put in their credit card number. Then the you get to know what they really think.
Good advice. I recently deleted a lot of apps from my iPhone when I realized that I only used some of them once a year (or less). If they're just local frameworks for account-based services such as AirBnB, keeping the app is like keeping the web page open for 12-18 months in case you need it again soon. Reinstall when needed, log in, and then delete when the need has gone.
FWIW, Verdana aligns those asterisks just fine. I do think deleting those asterisks makes documentation better and I personally write documentation without asterisks. Why they are there at all? It's just noise.
Jose Storopoli (@storopoli): "I've made amazing friendships here, co-authored a free open access and open source Julia Data Science book with Rik Huijzer and Lazaro Alonso."

I just read this book. Every page was like, 'wow'.

A couple of questions I had afterwards:

* I saw the DateTime type, but it doesn't seem to have a timezone - how do you deal with timezones?

* How is it to work with async code?

* It's a garbage collected language, what are some techniques to avoid performance pitfalls due to that?

If there's other Julia programmers around, any answers would be much appreciated!

Sacrificing legibility of code for a flawed tradition is a wrong tradeoff.
Corn in the US is mostly used for harmful purposes. It's used for producing fodder for intensive cattle farming (which of course produces lots of CO2). It's used for biofuel production, which as the article observes releases more CO2 than that it saves. And it's used for producing corn syrup which is an ingredient that nobody needs in their diet.

The rest, which would be usage for e.g. corn bread or other staples of North American cuisine, is of course fine. Nothing wrong with e.g. organically farmed corn. It's a crop that does well under a wide range of circumstances and popular for that reason all over the world. And as a grain, it's an important part of food production.

So, why does this exist? Very simple, federal subsidies to states that have become very dependent on that. Kill the subsidies and that whole industry slowly dies. That would be a good thing. Maybe repurpose the subsidies to have those farmers do something that actually is more productive and less harmful.
Are you including Germany in the rest of Western Europe? Because in that case, you're incorrect.

And the only country you can actually compare to in Western Europe is Belgium. Luxembourg was directly annexed, and France and Italy were in very specific situations ( collaborationist government with some limited autonomy that collaborated on Jews, ally with more autonomy that barely collaborated on Jews vs direct military occupation by German authorities). Belgium and Netherlands were ruled more similarly to Eastern European occupied countries ( directly by Reichscommisars), even if in a much more civilized manner.

After the discussion yesterday I was thinking, and the passion that went into this full two page marketing campaign in the NY Times is what is needed to save Firefox.

They need to get themselves back to this place mentally, get the community rooting for them again. And spend some money on a passion based marketing campaign.

Edit:

Just to add, back then Firefox had an army of advocates installing Firefox on their family’s and friends computers, basically making them use it. Google co-opted the same army just four years later with similar marketing to get everyone installing Chrome on their family’s and friends computers.

They need to find a way to get that to happen again. I don’t have the answers but suspect privacy and security may be the angle to take.

I suspect the thing holding them back is the danger that attacking Google on privacy grounds in order to push themselves as better could damage the lucrative revenue that they receive from Google.
John Warrillow’s book Built to Sell has some good advise.

My main takeaway: first ensure the company is optimised for sellability.

And your question is answered too: agents. There are people and companies specialized in selling companies. Just like there are people specialized in buying companies.
I find this is the best for teams with competent developers. I have seen it abused however, which I guess is why micromanagement is popular in the first place.
You just use modern APIs like Metal and DirectX that have GPGPU debuggers, which include shader debugging, just like a normal CPU language.

The problem with Khronos standards is that they always let the community fix their lack of tooling, so the best you can hope for is vendor specific debugging tools, or something like RenderDoc, which isn't as feature rich.
Several software projects written by a blind person for blind people are fascinating even from a regular user's perspective. I've long followed edbrowse [1], CLI line-oriented web browser with ed-like command language, javascript support, and remarkable scripting capabilities.

Another one is Ecasound, a command line oriented multitrack digital audio workstation [2] and its front-end Nama [3] that even supports so-called non-destructive editing. A patient, determined person really can accomplish a lot solely on the command line; also, compare Ecasound's resource usage with with what it takes to run Pro Tools or something similar.

Curiously, the initial version of both Ecasound and Edbrowse was written in Perl -- I wonder if that language has had any particular appeal to blind users, e.g. because of its text processing abilities or regex engine?

Considering the maturity of the aforementioned projects, their mailing lists may give great insights as to how to do your computing as a blind person. I would also point out an essay on the user experience by Edbrowse's author Karl Dahlke [4].

Dahlke's homepage has other interesting links and applications as well, including speech software and an essay on subconscious from a blind person's experience. Mind-opening writings and works, even for a regular user like me.

I'm wishing inner peace and balance for the adaption period to the OP's friend. Best of luck, man.

More mermaid support in an Nim library you never heard of: https://pietroppeter.github.io/nblog/drafts/mermaid_diagram....
The deference between C and C++ is vast. You can do templates and meta programming in C++ that you can't in C. Similarly you can do templates and meta programming in Metal

So to say all shader languages are based on C is as useful as saying they're all based on assembly. I'm not saying C++ style templates are good or bad but they're vastly more powerful than not having them and if you're using those other C based shader languages you'll end up having to do code generation in some other language to provide the same features as a C++ based shader language
I was tasked with running an autocorrector on all our code once in 6 months. On average, out of thousands problems it detected, 1-2 came out as real hard bugs, that would never been caught by programmers or the testing team. 1-2 bugs for a day of work is not that bad.
In all approaches to therapy, regardless of the psychological flow behind them, it's the patient who heals himself (or herself). Therapist role is not exactly to be a blank screen, more like responsive socratic human mirror. It's up to experience, knowledge and gut feeling of the therapist to know when be quiet, when ask questions and what may have better chances to help given patient.

In general, inner monologue is fantastic tool for self-reflection. Yet, if one is struggling with living, it's a good approach to seek help of other human being, rather than relying solely on oneself.
In this case it "worked" but what about the false positives, the cases where it didn't work. This is why we have rules against illegal searches and the right to remain silent.
Pretty sure it was CCC 2013, as I was there.

The core problem is the whole business model is a solution looking for a problem. The number of people who actually need this is tiny, the rest are just being lazy and as soon as it gets expensive they’ll stop being lazy.
The only way around this is to ‘disrupt’ local shops out of business which I’m sure is the plan and afaict that’s a net negative for everyone apart from them.
yes ... or maybe for all intents and purposes, deprecated or mostly abandoned are better words. Hardware vendors really don't want to spend any more resources on it.
I picked up a RB750 and a TP-Link AP several years back to enhance my networking knowledge. Took me several days of trial, error, and figuring out the right search terms to get a network like you described. I enjoyed the process but it's not for everyone.

But for about $130 the speed and stability blows away any equivalent-priced consumer technology with the added bonus of being much more configurable.
Aren't many bash programs written in C? So this is implying Julia is somehow faster than C? Obviously that can't quite be true, but I can definitely imagine that the algorithms implemented in Julia could be fast faster than other algorithms - since the community has such a heavy influence of very hardcore mathematicians that have a string stress towards speed. Probably most of the algorithms in Julia are state of the art and push the boundaries on time complexity.
It is not going anywhere, but don't expect anything after 4.6 to ever come up.
Interesting project. We build and maintain a significant cross-platform JavaFX app, and use a combination of JLink (to create a smaller executable with bundled JRE), install4j (for the native .app/.exe wrapper) and Packages (macOS)/InnoSetup (Windows) for the installer. The installer has a non-trivial amount of scripting under the hood so being able to customize that is really important, at least for us.

I wonder if you won't run into trouble because of the Mac codesigning/notarization though. I think this poses a significant legal risk to you, as you are now distributing potentially malicious software signed with your certificate. Also I'm pretty certain Apple doesn't like this "code signing as a service" approach.

But hats off, cool project!
You're missing my point. Call it anything you like. I'm not saying Spotify doesn't have the right to do whatever is in that contract (which I assume is anything they want) with the content. By the same token, that doesn't mean I have to approve of them doing it. I'm a paying customer. They'd probably like to keep receiving my monthly payment. I think they're spineless. I guess for now I'll just complain a bit to the ether and if they start removing content I actually listen to, I'll drop them. Imagine if they started removing hip-hop from their catalog? All that misogynistic, violent, gangsta shit a lot of us listen to. They won't, because currently it isn't in the cross-hairs of the politically woke (I guess it had it's time in the 90's. I'm glad it wasn't completely censored/banned like many politically woke of the time wanted). But we'll see how things play out in the future. The fact that self-claimed liberals can't at least acknowledge the danger of censoring (or whatever the hell you want to call it) content for political reasons is... disappointing.
No idea if you can see it in action anywhere, but I haven't been looking for it. But you're on the right track - you have to learn from seeing it in action (ideally pairing, like we did at that job), the process isn't visible in the end result (except as good quality code, which you could arrive at by other means with IMO much more effort).

I can't be sure, but what they did was reproducible (albeit slower) by all of us at the job, and I've been trying to learn it properly and get to the point where I can teach it ever since. Not there yet.
Petrol from corn fertilized with oil and sprayed with petrochemicals is obviously idiotic but corn subsidies are the enabler.
Particularly I am talking about Django and ASP.NET. I find Django to be a lot more productive and pleasant. Supporting open source libraries/projects are thinner for .NET.

That is hard to quantify, besides the raw package count, but is a general (subjective) observation I have. There are some replacements for Celery for example, but rather recent and not as capable.

Django REST Framework beats the .NET equivalents hands down. The Django ORM is better than EF, IMHO. Django comes with a command line framework (which can somehow be integrated into .NET projects probably). Reloading times are faster. IMHO the template engine is better.

I like F#, which is more pleasant to work with than C#. But it's hard to get a team going with F#, because it is also harder to learn.
How to build the ultimate product team
I never understood why I could never find E85 at any gas station on the west coast. It was once tersely explained to me that it was "bad for the environment". Yet, the Brazilians have been powering vehicles with ethanol since the late 70s.

I have to wonder if everyone who likewise owned a hybrid or EV knew that there was a chance some child in the Congo was mining the cobalt used to manufacture the batteries.

Unfortunately I don't believe we live in a perfect world. Every solution to climate issues just seems to shift the problems elsewhere. Success is declared when the issue disappears over the horizon.

What does replicated mean in this context?

If a room only has a matrix.org name, how do new users connect to it when matrix.org is down? Maybe it is bug, but creating local aliases doesn't seem to work in element web. (Well, creating the alias seems to work, using it doesn't)

Then, how many rooms have admins that are not on matrix.org

I'm finding the same with power tools. Being a part-time power tool service tech has really burst my bubble about any new tech in tools, plus it's getting harder and harder to get parts for old ones.

I was shopping for an impact wrench yesterday and came across one that was in my budget and was a brand I know I can get replacement parts for. It looked kind of familiar and when I started reading the reviews I remembered why: several people mentioned that the model has a design flaw that makes it overheat and melts the armature fan to the plastic case. A customer brought one in a few years ago and if it hadn't been covered by warranty it would've cost almost as much as a new one to replace the cooked armature. Even at 4-5x my budget the tools are only slightly more dependable, and they've really transitioned from being tools to unrepairable (epoxy-potted) electronic devices.

This is akin to breaking a one-time-pad cipher: you could easily come up with many possible plaintext but there is no way of verifying one is correct.
If you can build a network, that can crack Enigma after being trained on German and preceding encryption methods, then you might have made a step towards this. But note that cracking enigma "only" took a few people a few months, that these scripts have eluded many people for a much longer time, and that the source language of Enigma was known, as was its script.
Did you actually ship the app or is it something small scale?

The pain of JavaFX becomes apparent at deployment time. Installing in a small closed ecosystem is fine. Mass market with all the variance. Ugh.
