I have a L shaped setup. My Windows with two monitors on one side, my M1 Mac Mini with an Ultra-wide and mini monitor on the other. I prefer my Mac for Developing every time. It’s a far faster workflow , the trackpad feels amazing, and the ability add my iPad as a third monitor or a side screen via Universal Control is undefeated.

I have the Touch ID Keyboard making sign in seamless (and that’s if my Apple Watch doesn’t unlock if first). Everything is fast, smooth, and if I move away from the screen but want to keep looking at what I’m doing (like reading documentation) I can take my iPad and use either Handoff or iCloud tabs to keep it going. If I deviate from my iPad or go somewhere new and want to continue that process, I can airdrop the page to my Mac or use the aforementioned features to do the same.

This isn’t even touching document previewing in files but just pressing the spacebar , opening any PDF file in Preview, viewing my synced Notes, calendar, and Mail in the native apps and be assured they’ll show up on my other Apple Devices .

All of these things add up to a calm seamless workflow when I develop or do anything on my Mac. All without having to download a single thing. On windows I have to rely on third party services to replicate the same. Added friction that I just don’t have to deal With Mac . It just works (for me). The only edge my windows has over my Mac is gaming (which isn’t an issue for me issue that’s what having a windows machine is for and I prefer having a dedicated machine for that) and windows snapping that I solved using Magnet from the App Store that ensures it’s sandboxes and not collecting data per the App Privacy Page.
I was thinking more along the lines of there being no need to actually calculate anything at all because the only relevant information is the 50-50 probability of choosing the higher envelope. And since you gain no new information after choosing, there's no need to calculate anything afterward either. The "paradox" is in making one think there's something to be calculated beyond the 50-50 chance.
_do they keep asking for favors without giving you the feeling that you are still friends?_

Then they disappear until the next time. I do not mind helping others at all! I try to help people as much as I can.

_if they think, for you to be worthy of their friendship requires effort on your part, then they probably weren't good friends to begin with._

This might be the case with me atm. I simply can't afford to manage a perfectly feasible time because of personal reasons. However, I have friends who work around these limitations and still manage to catch up. There are some who do not consider this limitation.

I wonder why you're being downvoted, because what you say is quite true.

Recently, I declined purchasing a solar system for my home, because it would not provide energy independence when the grid is down as I had envisioned. Instead, it required a device from the power company which would "allow" me to use my own energy storage, but also give them full access to the same resources. I saw this for the obvious scam it was - power companies sharing the burden of costly infrastructure with consumers through clever marketing and federal tax "discounts". It's not a stretch of imagination to apply this logic to other independent energy mechanisms like gasoline engine cars and imagine the implications on our autonomy.

A simple non-mathematical resolution is that no information has been gained by selecting the first envelope. Since no information about the contents was available before selecting the first envelope switching envelopes is a neutral act.

While this sounds like just a lazy intuitive explanation, it calls out the key component - a lack of information about the outcome - that can help avoid the paradox in more complex situations.

This is in contrast to the three-door problem where information is gained by opening the first door. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
> If I'm not mistaken there's a chapter in Effective Python about this, where they recommend never using lists or dicts as Class attributes or default values for parameters and instead use factories or use None and then initialize them with default values when a new instance is created.

Ya, this is because the initialized object is stored as the default parameter, and is not initialized every time the function runs.

def functy(dicty={}):
print('dicty=', dicty)
return dicty

output = functy()
# dicty = {}

output.update({'key': 'value'})

functy()
# dicty = {'key': 'value'}
This is new information which changes the definition of the problem though.
Railway raises $20M to radically simplify building software
Honestly we'd probably be a lot better of if we handled lesser diseases with some more selfimposed responsibility and societal scorn. At least the way much of east asia started operating following sars and bird flu. (wearing masks if they suspected they or people around them were ill even without a new pandemic around well before corona)

Not because we should be scared of the risk of dying or infecting someone else that could die of it (tho that's certainly a good argument for wearing a mask when suspecting you have the flu) but because that person could infect another few, and they another few and oh woops flu season with 3-5 billion in economic damage in the US alone from a single shitty disease let alone others.
Good to know. I will keep that in mind and maybe have a look at Zig.
Assuming that no more than 50% of the 100kWh battery is used, and a full use of the 50kWh every day as part of diurnal power management, that's $0.032 / kWh.

$32 / MWh wholesale is an arbitrage that could be done on many days in CAISO today. I don't particularly think that people will use that much of their battery or do so every day of course but it does show that it's not an orders of magnitude implausible scenario either.
Wow, we sound like exactly the same person.

I was also lone-dev. Leave. If possible, leave asap, or save enough $ to do so. Life is short...you may not even want to get back into tech at all. You're not being respected being the only dev and they're only taking advantage of you.

Yes..knowing how to solve leetcode problems seems the only way to get a decent paying dev job nowadays. I think it's bs but that's unfortunately how it is. There's no way you can study this if you're working FT (more than that) and killing yourself at a job you hate.
Google has actually been fighting call recording apps for years. California is a two-party consent state, but most states are one-party consent (and many countries don't have legal restrictions at all). They're basically enforcing California law globally.

> 28 is not old.

28 is approaching old for very certain things. But a career as an engineer is not one of them. There are opportunities that are lost with time, but they're also a lot fewer than someone saying they missed the boat at 28 might feel.

As a very specific example - many olympic athletes peak in 20-25, and for the most part if someone is much older than that they were already exceptional in their 20-25 range and are now riding a decline eg Michael Phelps for swimming, or as i understand it gymnasts.

IIRC there is actually research to the contrary about starting a business that 40yr olds actually have really great odds due to network, experience, maturity etc. They make up for the cliche lack of inventiveness/newness with being experienced in handling the harder things that every business encounters (setbacks, hr bombs, firing etc).

I am a full time mechanical designer and want to change my field. I have a good knowledge of html and basic in css. I come to finalize these two courses to go through, but still confused which one should I go with ?

Finder is the worst file manager I've ever used. Mac's notification UX is a fucking mess. Not to mention users cannot uninstall pre-installed bloatwares.

User account to download from app store? Why the hell should I give an email address and phone number to download apps and SDKs for developement?

Also let's not forget that Mac OS sends hash of the application to mothership each time you start it. Unless it sends the hash and verifies it you cannot open the app. I really doubt if it is my computer.

It's confusing because using 100 works fine; both are seen as the same object. But using a number over 256 causes it to fail to see both as the same object. Of course, as an experienced dev, I would never use "is" for comparing integers, only for comparing things I know are objects that may otherwise be equal in value.

> France's culture ministry told AFP that the French terms would help French people understand the gaming industry better than if all the terms remained in English.

The irony of this is that word's like 'cloud gamer' don't mean a damn thing to native english speakers who don't have the context to understand them. The reason why French isn't the Lingua Franca in this domain is because France accounts for only about 2% of the global video game market. Termes de l'art are forged in the context they are created in.

If dystopian fiction has taught me anything, its that eventually we will all just speak some kind of pidgin, and I think that's très bien.
While I'm not a user of this editor, this seems like great news.

4coder receives significant attention via the Casey Muratori's video streams like Handmade Hero, and opening it up is sure to produce some positive growth for the development/community side of the project.

The combination of popular development livestreams and FOSS tooling utilized in those livestreams seems like it could be an important part of making FOSS development more sustainable without involving big corporate sponsors.
The server side component sounds like it probably could become a subscription, with the app providing a way to advertise that.

Ideally the Windows store would have a way to let users donate what they want rather than have people commenting links to the free downloads.

I definitely agree that proper funding for open source work is important. There are lots of companies who provide this by having their employees work either full time or part time on open source. There are various other ways to get paid for work on open source, some of them listed on the pages below.

I would, but you lose about 400 watts due to the lower energy density of propane/LPG. This is already a small generator, and I usually am running it very close to its maximum.

If I had a bigger unit (Honda also makes a 3000 watt and 6500 watt model), or just had two of these in parallel, it would be worth consideration.

Re: transfer switch, again if I had a bigger unit I'd consider it, but I can run so few loads it didn't seem worthwhile. This is basically to keep food from spoiling, internet/TV going, and fans so we can sleep somewhat comfortably.
how about the negative 1x or negative 10x developers.

you soak up tons of time of other developers' mentoring time while never "learning how to fish". you can't figure out how to solve problems so you're always stuck. you choose the wrong path of investigation and waste weeks on the wrong line. you won't post your code for review until it's "ready" so no one's ever sure really how to help you or your progress. people complain about you to managers but nothing is done. you get good reviews. you earn as much as your colleagues.

7. Command+Shift+G (This is in the menubar under Go > Go to Folder...) You can also go up the current folder tree by right clicking on the name of the folder on title bar. (This also works in some apps.)

Hope this helps a little.
The 1x and 10x can much easier change into a high paying job at another company that doesn't pay all of its developers the same. The problem with that is a lot more people think they are 10x and others 0.1x when in reality most are ~1x so that leads to a lot of surprise about how even the pay is though.
Plus, usually they don't offer anything more than an associate's degree. Can't remember the last time I saw anything less than "bachelor's degree or equivalent experience" on a job listing.
> What I hope such a system would provide is a means to prevent companies from cutting corners for the sake of profits and give engineers the right to say what is fit for purpose. Too many breaches that have cost economies too much money happen because IT is incentivized to release now and fix it later.

I find that, at companies that tend to beat market expectations it's already like that. You can always tell whether they consider engineering a cost center or a core part of the business. It's no accident that the CEOs of the majority of fortunes 5 are engineers...

Obviously this depends on the job and what someone did that landed them in prison, but that shouldn't be an automatic dealbreaker. If they are applying for a job after being released from prison, then they're trying to reintegrate and should be given a fair shake.

If a criminal record is an insurmountable hurdle for a specific role, then it would come up in a background check (which would almost certainly be a requirement for such a job), and the job posting should be explicit about the required clean criminal history. A gap in someone's resume is a pretty worthless signal for whether they've ever been incarcerated.
So where is the money going?

If the price of something is increasing faster than inflation then I expect something in return for the extra money I am paying like a bigger house, faster computer, whatever.

I went to college in the 1990's. Are college students getting a better education or experience for all the extra money they are paying? I've seen my university's new classrooms, student center, library, dorms, etc. and they are way nicer than when I was there. I don't know if the huge upgrade in facilities is also happening at other schools.

Since they are using AMD's accelerators as well [1], I do wonder whether any usage of these will trickle down and give us improvements in ROCm.

> One other way to “enlarge the pie” in situations like this is to hire an attorney.

Your comments here are incredibly enlightening, thank you for sharing! Can you speak to how to find a good attorney for this kind of thing, or really for any legal needs? Like where to go to find people willing to do arbitration and maybe how to determine if they’re good. I’ve hired a lawyer in the past for some employment contract work, and it was worth every penny, but found out it was rather difficult to find someone who could help. I had to cold call a lot of people who weren’t interested or said they weren’t qualified. It felt like the lawyers or firms I spoke to were mostly looking for a longer term relationship.
There is good Robusta to be had and well respected espresso focused blends on occasion have robusta in them for body and crema production. A lot of “high caffeine” coffees are also high robusta content.

I love people who think everything has to be aimed for their consumption.

Some things are aimed at a group of people, and written with that in mind. Someone closing a project/stopping maintenance of something, usually write directly to the group of users of the software.

To expect everything to contain information about everything someone could not know, means everything would have to be extremely verbose. We have search engines, typing "4coder" and finding the website took me around 2 seconds, I'm sure you'd be able to do it just as fast.
Western Europeans seem to have figured out how to get a good, affordable college education without this sort of thing. Some Europeans I talked to said the government even gives them a per diem for spending money or what have you while they go to college. They don't seem to have onerous debt.

Just like high medical costs, or school shootings (nineteen children were just killed by a gunman at a school in the US, for the Europeans unaware) and so forth, this seems to be a mostly US specific problem.
If you reason from the premise that it's only the diploma that matters, I'm not sure it makes sense to talk about "transitioning" college from one model to another in the first place. We can't just decide by administrative fiat to transfer a bit of prestige from Harvard to the local 2-year school, even if we all agree it'd be better that way.
