About once or twice a month I come across a site which hasn't been tested properly on Firefox and a flow of some sort doesn't work. The most recent was accessing scientific papers via a journal and academic society login. The redirect was broken on FF. Oh, and Facebook. Although that seems broken in various ways on all the browsers. Pretty remarkable.
As an experiment this is cool. As an excuse not to buy a Mac to do iPhone development this is insanely useless and a waste of time. Just buy a damn Mac if you are gonna do anything with iPhone development.
Can you explain this part to me?

How does selling a ton of shares into the market move the price down, but buying an equal number of shares back to complete your short doesn't move it back up?

Is this not a double-edged sword? If you dump enough shares that you actually affect the market price, you'll have to do the same thing on the way back.
From the article:

"If the point of a CS education is to prepare people to work in software (and that assertion is debatable!)"

The author uses a premise, while acknowledging that the reader might not agree with the premise. That's not conflating anything.

And the author's suggestions are far from "vocational"... they just move out of the limited field we call computer science.
I've been a victim of this in the past; it's very easy to excited about the flavour of your own Kool Aid.

Mark getting excited about using a message to book a restaurant seems like a prime example of this.
I don't think that's what the author is doing. I think the author is arguing that the skills taught in liberal art degrees are often skills that people who do computer science need but don't value. Becuase computer science degrees answer the question of "how to build" not "what to build" but the value is in "what to build".
I sometimes feel like I’m taking crazy pills when it comes to web development. This literally the functionality WordPress + a caching plugin has been providing for 15+ years.

Does it have to do with the main browser you use? I am running Debian, Firefox is main browser, while chromium is used occasionally. I got captcha for Chromium, but not Firefox.
> Sure, but it seems like this makes phones thinner and lighter and consumers want that

Or Apple devices are also a tech fashion statement, so their loyal consumers will put up with everything Apple changes. iPhones could show off their sleek design if they weren't designed to need a case. People definitely wanted bigger screens and batteries for years, and Apple was very reluctant until the iPhone 10. I'm sure many iPhone users miss the fingerprint reader, but they won't get it, and they will still buy the next model because the slight and gratuitous design differences make it obvious you're using an old iPhone.
Every time I login to gitlab.com with Firefox I get this screen. I thought that was normal. Because it is like this for months or maybe years already.
No, they aren't. You can have any number of #. Including zero. It's ONE syntax.
We had a pretty effective group of bridge players at college — and the bidding is certainly a decent obstacle.

However, if you’re just playing for fun and at least one person knows the basics of a decent bidding set (American Standard is usually fine) you can just ask openly - thinks like “do you have more than 13 points? A major suit with at least five points and five cards?”

And if bridge is a bridge to far you can play whisk or bid whisk as an intro.
>How many machine shops are not run by a machinist

Well, I think that's probably overall true of a lot of small businesses of that general type. The odds that I'm going to wake up some morning and decide to open a machine shop, electrical supply store, etc. and just hire people people who know what they're doing (not that I would necessarily know) are probably whole lot less than someone with some savings who has worked in the business their whole life.

It's not just the trades and adjacent though. I worked for a small IT industry analyst firm for a number of years and the founder/CEO had worked for a bigger such firm for a long time. And that's a very common pattern.
Interesting. Can you please clarify what is meant by "natural" in this context?
Well, more specifically, sea trains. Even more specifically, autonomous submersible sea trains. Sea trains ideally connected seemlessly intermodally to clean* land trains and trucks.

*by "clean" I mean anything substantially cleaner than diesel combustion engines

> The US doesn't just pass a bipartisan $40 billion for no reason

Everything for the victory, I guess?

> US Congress quietly enables funding for Ukrainian neo-Nazi-led Azov Regiment

> David Levine

> 1 February 2016

> The 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law by US President Barack Obama late last year, did not include a previously expected ban against the funding of the Azov Regiment, a military organization that originated as a volunteer militia in May 2014 and was subsequently incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine.

> The Azov Regiment is notorious for the openly white supremacist and anti-Semitic views of its members, and its use of the Wolfsangel, a swastika-like symbol once used by certain divisions of the armed forces of Nazi Germany, as well as its leading role in the Battle of Mariupol in May-June 2014. The regiment’s leader is Andriy Biletsky, a current member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament) and also leader of the neo-Nazi Social-National Assembly. In a characteristic statement, Biletsky was quoted by the UK Telegraph last August as stating, “The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival, a crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen.”

What do you mean by “static exports from WordPress”? (never used WordPress before)
The landing page has too little information, so I'd copy the description in the Google store for you:

> Detect dice rolls with your camera and track the statistics of your dice games. Histogramo runs offline: no internet connection is required and camera data stays on your device. Please consider buying Histogramo Pro for the ability to save historical game data.

Here sometimes it's easier to get traction with a technical post. Do you have an interesting technical anecdote to write about?

Which model of dice are harder to detect? White or transparent? White dice on a white table? Small single dot for 1 or big single dot or custom drawing? L or R dices? Do you detect only D6, or also D4, D8, D12 and D20?
It doesn’t remove all luck. You may be dealt cards that suit your bidding strategy better than that of your opponent or vice versa.

Given the number of rounds played, that’s unlikely, though, unless one bidding strategy is truly better than the other.
> For Messenger, I think differentiation is extremely important and something we haven't focused on yet. We've spent the past 6-12 months catching up to WhatsApp and competitors on table stakes like performance, reliability, pushability, etc. This work isn't done and we will continue to do it, including catching up in areas like groups.

> But to get people to ditch WhatsApp and switch to Messenger, it will never be sufficient to be 10% better than them or add fun gimmicks on any existing attribute or feature. We will have to offer some new fundamental use case that becomes important to people's daily lives.

They never did catch up on table stakes, nor did they discover that new fundamental use case. But they had a good fallback plan: Just buy WhatsUp.

Bummer for the users, though.

I find myself wishing something along the lines of antitrust was enforced more rigorously to help preserve competition.

Hydrogen does not seem to dissolve very well in molten lithium. It is quite easy to separate on the lab, but yeah, the practical consequences of convection currents and putting it through a heat exchanger may change this.

Anyway, I imagine the people studying fusion have an answer to this, since it only requires normal centuries-old chemical knowledge.

I also do not believe fusion will ever be a competitive power source for stationary applications on Earth.
What do I think the future holds? More of the same. Local minima and maxima recogized as such after-the-fact. Surprises. Pleasurable and Painful. We just don't know what we don't know. Survival of our species, but less diversity in the remaining flora & fauna, at least for a time. Better or at least more sophisticated interventions in various systems by the ruling elites, aided by increased data collection, improved processing of it, simulation, ML, all that. Continued emphasis on threat-detection (survival value!). Continued under-appreciation of the miracle of it all.

One thing he missed is something Scott Adams says. Do not have goals, have systems. For example, having a goal of reaching some level of fitness is not nearly as effective as having a system of incorporating exercise into your daily activities.

For example, there's the popular P90X program to get fit in 90 days. So you get fit in 90 days. Then what? Stop exercising, and the fitness will evaporate like water on an Arizona sidewalk.

For another, if you want to be a successful writer, have a system of writing every day rather than some specific goal. And so on.
So I don't think this pendulum backswing is all that surprising or interesting on its own - it's been a journey to discover the edges of the SPA paradigm's capabilities and strengths and a retreat to pragmatism mostly.

What I do find quite fascinating is that React actually started out pushing this kind of server rendered, pragmatic pieced-together approach from its very first days. Indeed, because that's exactly what the facebook website required - dynamic additions to a php-like fundamentally server-rendered site.

I am not sure if I'm always interpreting this correctly but a lot of blogs I read about server rendering (the buzz TLA for which is now SSR) and the general per-page approach for React apps seem to be attributing the idea of the approach to a few of the newer frameworks that have appeared. Those frameworks are great and package up a load of this goodness, but ironically you don't and have never needed any such wrapping, nor any of the learnings of the SPA era, for any of this. It came out of the box in React before it even hit major version numbers. Somehow, the idea just never seemed to catch.
I credit nLite with improving my understanding of Windows. I was educational to see all the components listed with tooltips about their function and dependencies. It was like building your own custom copy of Windows. At one point I think I had a copy of XP running using 50MB of RAM at the desktop.
I had BASIC for the Atari 2600 (called Atari VCS at the time). It came with two controllers that had membrane keyboards. There were not enough keys for the alphabet so you had to use key modifiers to type the full A-Z and 0-9 character set. It was immensely tedious and really a bummer to use. I’m surprised you got far enough to do graphics with it. I dont recall being able to do anything except every simple text-based things like:

10 print “hello”

20 goto 10
I ended up building out a hierarchy as well. But figuring out the structure of that hierarchy was not trivial at all. How does the name of a repeatable class (Algebra 1) fit with the name of a specific class (Algebra 1 Fall 2020 Section 2)? How does that relate to an area of math like algebra, geometry, number theory? How does that relate to things like context (ie problems about Minecraft, Lego, Physics, etc.)

I developed a closed system of tags, and then gave people the ability to define aliases.
We both work. For me, 0->1 was a big change, and 1->2 and up each felt like smaller changes. But I expect it’s different for everyone!
A trip down memory lane. I loved my pimped out XP black edition with all the addons and features.

I don't think it's all that hard to make a replaceable battery and have the phone be waterproof or small. My Go Pro has a replaceable battery and it's waterproof. Googling there are plenty of waterproof phones with replaceable battery.

FWIW, farming co-ops are often more similar to the lawyer model, in practice: A small number of owners who hire out lots of manual labor.

You could certainly have a similar model for software co-ops, using contracts for various non-central parts of the work.

Most worker co-ops also include a probationary period for new hires before they become part owners (because to do otherwise would be a bit insane). A really long probationary period with a low chance of conversion starts looking a lot like the lawyer model...

The key is to not overfill the damned tortilla. The top and bottom "flaps" should be able to fold down to the middle of the ingredients. If they can't at least fold down that far your burrito will deconstruct itself mid-meal. I like to create a polar burrito where the bottom flap reaches past the ingredient center to give more surface to attach to the side flaps. I'm ok if the top flap isn't super secure as it's eaten in the first two bites.

An inedible wrap should not be the only thing keeping the burrito together. Biting the burrito will cause it to leak inside that wrap then it makes a mess. Overstuffing a burrito might give you more food but at the expense of the burrito being an entirely self contained unit of perfection.

Also if you've got store bought tortillas stick a damp paper towel between them and microwave them for 10-20 seconds on a plate. You'll get a partial steam and they'll be more pliable and you'll get an easier wrapping experience and a superior burrito over a tortilla fresh out of the package.

1- Tangential, Why "login manager" is called display manager in Linux-speak?

2- Isn't it better to use a login manager that is 1- graphical and 2- uses the same GUI tech as your DE (for example gtk for xfce/gnome and qt for KDE) so the actual GUI apps could be hot-loaded in memory and the initial cold-runs of programs could be faster?

Thanks for the project. Seems clean.
It’s not true that all board war games are perfect knowledge - things like Napoleon at Marengo have army markers that face the player so the other player doesn’t know what the strength is (could even be a blank as a feint).

Various other war games implement different forms of fog of war that can be quite strategic.

I generally agree with most of your assessments and classifications, but: I can definitely eat a tostada with one hand (if it's crispy). To me, a taco is a folded tostada (when I worked at a mexican restaurant, we also had a bowl-shaped tostada ("salad in a bread bowl"). To me, that is a continuum. The ingredients are a bit less important (my preference is al pastor on a steamed soft corn tortilla).

The moment you "wrap" (fully enclose in a tubular way), I think it moves to a different part of the embedded space which includes all wraps (https://worldwrapps.com/). The mission-style burrito definitely has the "rice and beans inside" in addition to the primary (meat, veggie, whatever), this sounds very much like the "in Texas, chili doesn't have beans" argument.

Given Chrome's dominant position (65% market share), if a blanket statement is given, it should reflect what Chrome does.

Also, for quite longer than that, if a site has any https-retrieved assets in the [Chrome] browser cache, it insists on loading https-only. This is a bit stronger than trying https first, then falling back. So only the very first visit per browser-cache-instance (profile, more or less) is penalized. This extra latency is easily absorbed/amortized.

“I Have a Dream”: Annotated
I wish FreeBSD was more popular. I run it on my personal servers for more than a decade non-stop. I do have currently one FreeBSD at home which works as my NAS/backup server/whatever I need it to do plus two remote machines (mail/www/db/ns running in jails). About a year ago I migrated one FreeBSD to OpenBSD because it's just an advanced router.

I took conservative approach and I always run -RELEASE version, not even -STABLE. I'm glad Klara is evaluating -CURRENT branch, good read.

Btw, once - several years ago I bought an new system and network card was not supported in the -RELEASE branch, so I took the driver from -CURRENT, compiled and loaded as kernel module. Worked flawlessly :)
And the ones who do risk it all and succeed are then derided with "you didn't build that" from people who didn't risk anything.
When your currency intends to keep changing the algorithm, the protocol itself should describe the algorithm to use and automate the changeover process. It's not the manual aspect that is defending against ASIC miners, it's the non-determinism of what the algorithm is going to be.

If you keep it that way for years, it starts looking very deliberate. In this scenario I'd describe the "insiders" as those participating in and following monero's development closely enough to be continuously aware of these changes at the source level. We're not talking about SEC regulated crap where insider trading is well defined, this is all unregulated wild west software land. Insiders are the nerds cloning git repos and building from source, lurking in monero chat rooms all day, etc.
> I mean why else would they store it if it's illegal to access?

It's not permanently illegal to access. In the US, there's a constitutional requirement that copyright and patents be time-limited, so eventually all that stuff will be public domain. And the copyright period is current so absurdly long that by the time XP is public domain, it will be hard to find outside of dedicated archives.
