Despite how normalized and even lauded it is, I would argue that even then it isn't good. Some amount of people will always be subject to all-consuming passion for a specific subject or goal, but these generally come at a high personal and social cost for the individual and those closest to them. Pursuing them in the face of these costs is at least a bit of a personal weakness, and should be considered a mild-moderate social transgression, along the lines of heavy drinking or poor anger control, perhaps.

"A company" is probably the wrong venue to pursue it, when it must be pursued. I think we have a lot of people like this right now because we encourage, praise and reward this behavior. But I don't think we should generally want people to burn their lives into pursuits in this way, and so should consider it at least uncouth, if not exactly morally wrong.
No reference, but same here.
Hey thanks. That's very helpful.
I think you mean shale, not oil sands?
I like this idea. I have been recently worried about the hacker unfriendly nature of the phones as well. It is frustrating to go through a series of painful processes like unlocking the bootloader, installing a recovery image, if you are lucky enough to find a compatible one, hoping that the phone will not be bricked or end up in a bootloop, etc.
Having said that, I would have liked a powerful phone where we can use the desktop version of banking websites, YouTube etc.
Not really, there are been numerous tries but nothing these days. You can use less memory hungry libraries like hanami instead of Rails, for example.

These is one of the option but I felt like it was a bit early to use.
How is this different from what's built-in to Android? You can silence notifications from individual apps, set 'Do Not Disturb' times and, with quite a few apps, you can even fine-tune which kind of notifications it's allowed to send you.

> Since you are a start-up and thus likely seeking an exit at some point

I don't believe your conclusion follows the premise -- I'm not planning my business around an exit strategy, and we're gunning for being a large, private company not just a quick money spinner.

As I've said elsewhere, it's also not about cost, but about open tools and an open ecosystem. I use LibreOffice myself (I run Linux, as do about a quarter of my engineering team) and find it fine (except for complex models and spreadsheets).
Interesting: why are they bad, and why are they so expensive? I would have thought it would be the one or the other.

GPS guided drones, for example, are like under a hundred bucks, so I don't get why a GPS guided shell should be literally a thousand times more expensive, and still not work.
Most other startups I know use GSuite.

I also dream of utopia but when I wake up I have to supply the logic that fills in the gaps else it remains a dream.

If you remove the profit motive then investment falls, new medicines become less likely and lesser in number, and medicines remain higher in cost due to lack of pressure (competition from new drugs, competition from new entrants, new techniques etc).

Altruism, necessary as it is, does not fill that void alone, and it certainly won't be filled by hoping government makes everything "free".
He could have just used SVG path syntax which would have been a lot more compact that the current syntax.

{"p2":{"x":141,"y":85},"mode":"line","p1":{"x":34,"y":44}}

becomes

M 34 44 L 141 85

and of course also has ways to express curved paths, etc.

> 2k lines does come back within 2 repaint frames on my 10 year old mac, which is about as fast as most video game responses to controller input.

which repaint frames ? e.g. here on my 240hz monitor that would be 8.3 ms which i guess is tolerable for visual input. on a 60hz, that's 33ms which is noticeable when everything else around it is fast

> PS and I'm still wondering what your proposed alternative is...

? it's in the original post - having an utility which does such common piping use cases without having to go through three processes - here doing a time sort | uniq | sort -nr of a 100mb file gives me 2/3 seconds for the first sort, 1s for the uniq, and again a couple seconds for the second sort ; the uniq can stream but the sorts can't, and a single command would likely be able to optimize this with a bit of algorithmic thinking

Not a researcher, just interested in the topic:

I see it like this: You spend a third of your life asleep. By not "utilizing" your dreams, you effectively waste that time.

dream recall is very easy to learn and even easier if you actively write down your dreams. From there on, it's not much further to start looking into lucid dreams, where you can take control, even over nightmares.

Facing my nightmares in my teens (even without being lucid) was very liberating.

How do you expect progress to be made if we can't precisely discuss browser issues & how to reproduce them in a way that enables them to be investigated and fixed?

For all we know at the minute, the OP has an extension installed that's causing all this.

Planet integrates ENS and IPFS for publishing and following web content
It does not require a centralized server or service. It uses IPFS to achieve peer-to-peer content distribution. Furthermore, you can link your content to an Ethereum Name (.eth) so that others can follow you via Planet by the .eth name. Since both IPFS and ENS are decentralized, you can build your websites or follow others, all in a decentralized manner.
Many good points and a great article overall, though one that i think is possibly most overlooked is:

> Having some technical debt is healthy
For me the most interesting thing about this is that it's written in LÖVE, a small 2D game engine.

I've also heard about people making UIs in Godot, another FOSS engine. It's interesting times for FOSS game engines and UI frameworks alike.

Exactly, just like there are so many ways to legally kill people.
You have noticed the problem with humans. They don't like modeling decay. So decay is simply ignored and assumed away. Meanwhile biological systems model decay. There is no obsession with growing forever. People's height is limited by nutrition and genetics, nothing else really.

If humans actively modelled decay in their society, their civilizations would last as long as ancient Egypt.
Ancient Egypt was conquered by Romans aka outside forces. Meanwhile the Roman empire collapsed from within.

Honestly I would always go full-frame if I can afford it. The staying power of APS-C seems to just be a price-based competition between the big players. Full-frames have gotten sufficiently petite as well, and at the end of the day simply offer more and less noisy resolution.
"Instead of useless calculations, researchers get it to optimize energy use."

Protein folding also comes to mind as a potential optimization problem with real-world applications and benefits.
> macros statically evaluate their inputs ie. at compile-time

Unless one uses an interpreter.

CL-USER 1 > (defmacro my-if (test a b)
(print "Hi, I'm the executing MY-IF macro")
`(if ,test ,a , b))
MY-IF

CL-USER 2 > (defun foo (a)
(my-if (> a 10) 'big 'small))
FOO

CL-USER 3 > (foo 11)

"Hi, I'm the executing MY-IF macro"
"Hi, I'm the executing MY-IF macro"
BIG

CL-USER 4 > (foo 2)

"Hi, I'm the executing MY-IF macro"
"Hi, I'm the executing MY-IF macro"
SMALL

In this Lisp implementation, the macro even runs twice on each runtime invocations.
Unfortunately, this guy severely misunderstands how GPL works.

>In simple words, this license says the following: use the code to do whatever you want, without paying anything, as long as any modification to the original code is also released under the same license. Basically, the license of these projects requires those who use them to publish any changes to the public.

This is not how GPL (2.0 as used by the projects being discussed here) works. There is no obligation to share source code of software that only runs on your server.

>The open source philosophy is clear: you can use that code for free, provided that any modification of it MUST be made public.

This is not how "open source philosophy" works.

He is confusing GPL with AGPL, which would indeed mandate server operators to share their source code with any player that asks for it.
> Less freedom for those who happen to like traditional gender roles, now they are forced to work more and adapt to more "modern" gender roles. Otherwise they will lose out massively because the single earner has so much lower salary now

That's an equivocation. There is the freedom that comes from choice (what is not disallowed) and there is the freedom that comes from available choices. For example, homosexuals being able to marry is not the same kind of freedom as if I had a million dollars I'd be able to do what I want.

Those who prefer traditional gender roles can still have them, they just need to compete to afford it, as they did before, or to cut their cloth.
Really need a "clean communication" movement just like we have a "clean code" movement.
I think it's very unfortunate you see it that way, but I guess you can try distracting yourself from it directly after waking up.

Just immediately stand up and start thinking of your day, rather than last night. It's the opposite of dream journaling, so my guess is that'll do.

I think we should. They're expensive when you account for all the costs. That's why we're phasing them out, even for things they're pretty good for.
I dont understand why you have schools feeding kids?

its bizarre, the kids should either bring money to school for canteen or bring their own lunches to school like ours do.
Uh, this is not about cars (I thought that as well). It's about water pumps for stuff like watering plants and stuff.
I use three languages as well and GBoard is the only one that works flawlessly.

IPhone is unusable in this regard. Switching from one language to the other is just not cutting it. That's simply not how polyglot people communicate.

It did point out its not just productivity, but providing a captive audience for other businesses and taxes.

“I’m trying to fill up office buildings, and I’m telling JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, I’m telling all of them, ‘Listen, I need your people back into office so we can build the ecosystem,’” Mayor Eric Adams of New York City said this week. The city, which is heavily reliant on tax revenue from massive Midtown offices, recently announced a strict policy of in-person work for city employees."

From the article:

“When you go to lower Manhattan, with all of those city offices, if they remain empty, Duane Reade is not going to have the customer, the café is not going to have the customer,” Adams said at Wednesday’s event."

Duane Reade is apparently a chain of pharmacy and convenience stores owned by Walgreens

Choline is an chemical in cells walls, it lowers the pressure in the alveoli to facilitate the gas exchange so it can increase physical performance and endurance, its used in connections between neurons, so it keeps brain fog/baby brain at bay.
I don’t get what you mean about autoformatters. For me they run on save so it’s pretty hard to get errors from them. And I found the big advantage was not caring about formatting at all. I could write a long line and have everything rearranged and indented with a keystroke, and I didn’t need to worry about eg maintaining vertical alignment in the code or whatever.
Academic research is valuable, as is the research done by commercial entities. They're really not comparable in their intent though, and that's a good thing.
The article seems to argue that the capacity to do optimal control was there but the gold standard resulted in hoarding of currency and therefore required deficit spending by the state which was driven by the state. At some point the government could no longer dig out more gold to paper over the deficiencies of a gold standard and was forced to adopt suboptimal control instead. There are common stories about soldiers simply switching over to those with money in the Roman empire.
This demo marks the beginning of the SDF era in the demo scene. If you watch most demos from 2009 they still use solid geometry. elevated showed the superiority of just using fragment shaders for everything. By 2009 the GPUs where fast enough to do SDF and people had come up with the idea of ray marching.
If you're interested in something lile this, then check out the Smalltalk family of languages. They're similar to Lisps in the sense that the environment is completely programmable (metaprogramming is just regular programming); however, whereas Lisp uses source code to create new forms and perform metaprogramming, in Smalltalk there is no source code. In Smalltalk-based languages, you perform metaprogramming by acting on live objects (the "source code" is just an in-transit format for the true form of objects).
This is a very important conclusion about complex trait inheritance.

In a similar vein, there is a growing number of supporters of the theory that some countries are poor because their population or certain ethnicities have lower IQ due to genetics and not because of environment and culture that suppress proper development of children.

To me it doesn't seem likely because intelligence similarly to schizophrenia is a complex trait or even more so. The deficiency of intelligence genes is refuted by the fact that children of immigrants in rich countries will be equally intelligent. And even if a certain country experiences brain drain, the effect on the population will be short lived. The culture and environment are the best explanations as even in rich countries some groups can be disadvantaged due to perpetuated inequalities that affect child development.
But you do understand that even Red Hat has paid, licensed SKUs and the reason why Red Hat can support its “contribute and sell services” approach is partially because of their licensed products.

You do understand that if your expectation for all proprietary products to disappear was to become true, you most likely rendered all software engineers to work for free. Because, let’s face it, who is going to pay for their time if there’s nothing to gain in return?

With the hammer. Well, your friend bought the hammer. Someone paid for it. Who pays in your model?
> They will just move on to countries with less regulation, which usually means poorer countries with less educated people.

This is #3, a threat that any type of action will harm poor people.

This is #2, futility in its widest sense. Not just this ban won't work, no bans work!
My sincere hope is that Grant &/or 3B1B community port all the many amazing visualizations done with Manim into interactive WebXR with ThreeJS or BabylonJS or raw WebGPU. The best fit for these data stories is AR/VR -- being immersed in 3D just works!
It seems like you assume, that they are tasked more than usual, but in reality this the way we want to work, because it's simply better. There are many seniors on the team, so it's not like one is expected to fully cover multiple roles. It just means that you aren't bound to single.

We have nearly zero rotation within senior staff, and some actually came back from other companies, sometimes due to pure frustration with how little impact they had on what's happening within the project. Simply most of the team considers it the way it should work, not additional chore.

About 400k (USD I assume) - where I live you could easily get really nice house with that in less than a year, with zero mortgage and without limiting your daily spending too much.

I'm happy for you if you have ability to earn that, but with such expectations and altitude - no wonder US corps are so eager to outsource to our side of the pond :-)

A question I didn't see in the FAQ: is there or has there ever been
some crazy way of mounting the grml installation media on something
like a tmpfs in memory that can still work with the root partition
unmounted? I wanted to install an unsupported distro on a digital
ocean droplet that way once but I'm not sure whether I only dreamed
it.

edit: typo
The type system does help a lot, but I find the tests matter more for the next engineer(s) who need to touch your code. Modifying code you didn't write and don't 100% understand while being sure you didn't break existing features is priceless.

I’ve been thinking of coding as management too.

Considering the senior GIS focused dev at my work: to do what he does, but in the 70s he’d be a VP of a division of analysts and mapping techs. In 2022: he’s a programmer/maintainer on a project.

The co-op ramping up on the same program? Back in the day she would be a senior analyst on the management track under the VP. In 2022: a junior coder we can assign tickets to, with senior dev not as a boss/superior but as a guide.

Kinda nice, but what I really wish is to be able to use transducers (idea from clojure) so that I can define and compose a function and then apply it to a stream / an optional / an observable, etc.

Or, at the very least, being able to define functions taking a stream<A> and producing a stream<B> and compose it with another function taking a stream<B> as input and apply it all to a stream<A>.

Both are just not possible with the current Java stream API.
