> a kind of platinum rule to improve upon the golden one

When I read this, I scoffed a little bit. A better idea than one proposed two thousand years ago? Say it isn't so! Why haven't we thought of this before?

I think you hooked rightly on the Ukraine and Russia conflict. Sometimes, there is not a "best version" of someone.

The author seems to reject that outright, saying we need to recognize our opponents humanity in order to effectively argue, with the premise that there's something good in there to tease out.

On what basis can the author say that there's something good inside? Their "humanity"? That reasoning is rather circular...
if you use Jira/bitbucket, you can prefix the branche names and git commit messages with the Jira ticket number.
This way git blame can quickly give you the the context of the ticket.
Ha! That's cool. Why would you have not believed that it could work?

Treating DOM as the state of my JavaScript code instead of storing state separately and then synchronizing.

Using HTML instead of parsing Markdown by applying white-space: pre-line with some additional styling for semantic tags.

Styling style and script tags as visible to embed examples into HTML pages without duplicating or entity-encoding them.

Using files as a key-value store. (File name = key. File content = value.)

Using folders/files as a one-to-many messaging bus. E.g. one app creates empty do-something.txt file in a folder, couple other apps monitors the folder and do stuff. Very simple setup, but allows to create multiagent systems in different languages with persistence and easy way to debug/interact with the whole thing manually.

Using inheritance instead of mocking frameworks. (Instead of mocking something out, extend the class, override "mocked" behavior and test that class.)

I don't like to do this, I like having an editor setup to highlight the open parent that matches the one you are closing. Then I can confirm that my structure matches my intention.
I stopped using qr codes when I realized how easy it is for someone to put a sticker over an existing code and send me to a phishing site. Certainly, I can do it super cautiously, but it definitely seems like an easy attack vector.

The audience are the other readers, not the other commenter. It's enough to convince them. If valid arguments are not enough for them then that's their problem.

I do think that would be a great idea. I absolutely hate taking the plane because of the whole airport circus, so would definitely support such an initiative.

I think that governments might also buy into that, at least to a point. For example, in France, they passed a law looking to ban very short flights for which a rail alternative no longer than a few hours exists (four, I think).
This is not a sensible response: it’s not a matter of whether you can avoid visiting the convenience store, because millions of people do. There’s a clear demand for it, and accompanying crime.

(Besides, in most bus networks you actually can use the buses without using the stations — most allow riders to be dropped off anywhere along the route. But that’s entirely besides the point, as you haven’t presented a lick of evidence that statistically significant crime is happening in public transit stations.)
Pretty simple. Live a life that I enjoy. So many people have a binary view of work; meaning, "I am working" or "I am not working". For me, it's about working the right amount, having the quality of life I desire, living where I want, and having the flexibility to do the things that I want.

I say this as someone that has "made money"; meaning, a substantial amount to retire if I want to, I enjoy the psychological safety that continuing to earn income provides. That said, I'm doing that on my own terms, and I've fully steered away from an employee/boss relationship to business partnerships.

It's pointless to counter a fallacy.

Never said this. What I have said is that we don’t seem to have an adequate control group to truly know or not what efficacy the vaccines have for the current variants or if the current variants are simply less severe.

Almost every study the government touts for vaccine efficacy now relies on correlation instead of causation evidence.

I think that gives us cause to look at the information from the government with a skeptical eye.
This makes sense - however the search engine is just a proxy to the content on websites. I should have probably been more clear in my original comment. What I was really referring to, is when you are sitting there trying to think how other people might ask a question when the way you are originally asking it is not turning up good results.

I have been teaching myself C# for the last two or three months (with the fantastic C# Player's Guide by RB Whitaker) and I have come to really enjoy working with the language. Discovering Properties, which combine fields and their accessor methods and can be auto-implemented and initialized, was the first moment I realized it might make my life a whole lot easier.

That’s not correct: Equal value isn’t an issue. Having both variables point to the same memory is.

Handshake does use hierarchy like DNS (you can have any levels of subdomains behind the TLD), except it grants you access to the TLD level at affordable price, that is their main selling point. Whereas today you can only be under a TLD like .com or .us for an affordable price.
I completely forgot about that, but that's really one of the ugliest things I have ever seen :D
Theoretically, you could combine a blockchain-based root zone governance (e.g. Handshake) with GNS. This would give you globally unique names and efficient and private delegated names.

In general, not a fan of BNS beyond that, through, as upkeep is too resource intensive. It is just not a sustainable and efficient thing to do for names.
I haven't used Rust much, but based on everything I've read it seems like if you need a better alternative to C or C++...Rust is pretty much the answer. Is that not accurate?
The short answer is that they are not building more fabs for non-leading edge processes, like those used by STM32.

Consider that 401k's are an onramp through which one delegates one's capital to be allocated by someone else, and it should be obvious the objective.

Capital wants to have the spigot left on. If people don't feed the beast voluntarily, Capital will make that the default.
I don't think there is an end goal. Programmers do seem to have an abundance of Ego, so maybe best to keep that under control?
Personally, seniority comes with opportunity. If you keep stretching and learning, you can work in pretty much any industry you want.

From a technical perspective it can. But how would you take down domains, resolve disputes like when your domain is taken over by attackers or a lookalike domain is defrauding users that are trying to get to your site. It isn't commercially viable without an authority everyone accepts for name revocation.
to me that's the greatest benefit of C++ and hence why it's so successful.

it's kitchen sink language.

choose what features you want.

choose your own style. you wanna do OOP | DOP suit yourself.

that versatility is why C++ is unmatched in terms of where it's deployed.

You could commit to something like, "Investigate the logs for two hours" or "inspect memory dump" for an hour. From there, one can add more detailed tasks.
My language of choice, LiveCode, is a superset of HyperTalk. The concept of "words" has been built-in (not a library) since the '80s.
NUC's are a motherboard. They'll typically have a processor included (maybe always?) but also have onboard USB, HDMI and other components. Sometimes even a WiFi radio, though my NUC doesn't. You then supply the storage, RAM and any external accessories.

That means you can upgrade your CPU and still see upgrades in USB, RAM and so on and so forth, like you wanted, too.

I'm not exactly a member of the Intel fan club but I've got to admit that the NUC is a pretty awesome bit of kit. Crudely speaking, it's halfway between a Raspberry Pi and a desktop PC. So I think it's really well suited for the kind of purpose described in the article. I've got a NUC from around a decade ago to use as a HTPC and it's still going strong even now.
Slightly disappointed in this being fiction. There are a few different religions that focus on end times that have decided that Texas actually will be a safe haven for biblical apocalypse.

Hiring candidates on race/sex and not ability is racist and harmful to building a better society.
Indeed. It's beyond my level of understanding, as long as I've been alive this has not happened, though I understand that historically it has happened, and whenever it did it was followed by at least one year of famine.
> I hope you realize non-web development is a niche nowadays.

That's a terrible attitude. If you want a certain ecosystem to get a better rep, you have to be ready to talk with different communities, and accept their feedback.

Python is what it is largely because it can cater to a large number of these very different communities, which has ensured its long-term success. Compare with Ruby, which became effectively a web-only language and has since struggled to go anywhere.
I wouldn't expect someone named noname120 to understand the need for a new naming service.

First, it doesn't have to be as bright as sunlight, just of similar quality.

Second, you wouldn't run 5 rooms all day. Just the room you are in. And 2m X 2m is enormous.

UV would be a bug, not a feature.
On the one hand, he's right. On the other hand, I feel gaslit by the fact that, superficially speaking, someone has built a brand & an income around a BS token like "starmanning". I mean, we've all cast pearls before swine from time to time, but how many of you have managed to make a career out of it?

> many plants have toxins in them to prevent animals eating them

Almost all of the plants humans eat have been domesticated and bred to no longer produce these compounds in the parts that we eat. For other plant parts, such as fruit, being full of sugar and tasty is an adaptation because it helps with dispersing the plant's seeds. If this is something that interests you I recommend reading 'With Bitter Herbs they shall eat it: Chemical ecology and the origins of human diet and medicine.' by Timothy Johns. It was published 30 years ago and is essentially his PhD dissertation but quite readable and still one of the best resources on this subject.
Another career is wise to fund a music career, but that's just the problem... With another career, music only has space to be a hobby, and not being able to work on music as a career ends up ultimately being the very thing preventing growth and success. An engineering career, with school and all other aspects involved also doesn't really accommodate moonlighting as a really creative musician with a 40+ hour work week and dress standards that don't really allow for different hairstyles, managing social media accounts, band practice etc...

It would be very interesting to see a survey of how many actual dedicated musicians succeed, but I'm already pretty sure it's less than 10%, and for those who work day jobs, I'm pretty sure the percentage is even less. I work in IT, and every single job I get is like walking away further from any hope of music success. I took the past year off IT work (very fortunate to have been able to do that) just to work on my music, but even now, getting my music to people's ears on the Internet is a massive hump to overcome, and it costs a lot of money.

Artists like Prince and The Weekend have backstories of being literally homeless before being discovered. These days, especially during the pandemic, the idea of homelessness is far more deadly, and those guys and many more from the past would likely never even succeed, which is very grim.

The monopolistic route to success being through gatekeepers and big industry is really even more toxic and harmful to our future than ever, but in reality it may be the only possible way to become a full time musician. I'm happy making music that I like, but it's not a hobby for me, it takes significant effort, expense, and time to make and promote it... So when I work my also very demanding day job to pay bills (which also takes significant time, effort, certifications etc...) there is no reasonable way to fit in social media, studio time, networking with musicians, interviews, touring etc.

Citing all that, I can't simultaneously work a modern day job and physically, or even in essence, also be a professional musician with all the modern hurdles of maintaining another entirely different career.

Restaurant QR codes considered harmful
QR menus are at best a massive PITA, and at worst a frustrating and obnoxious intrusion preventing a good dining experience. (Let's face it, almost all digital menus suck when viewed through a business-card-sized porthole, whether PDF or web...)

In today's ever-more expensive dining world, should we skip tipping for any restaurant that forces the use of QR/web menus?
Hear hear! The generalization of this is figuring out how to prioritize multiple problems. Deciding which problems to solve in what order, and how much time to spend on each, is a difficult and important and never solved problem. But it’s quite valuable to practice and budget your time. This might sound different from understating the problem before coding, but it’s really almost the same thing, taking time to think about the approach carefully before diving in, making sure the requirements will be met, etc. Prioritizing multiple problems is very similar to planning the steps of solving a single problem. Maybe the main difference with the higher level prioritizing is that prioritizing has to be revisited periodically and/or continuously. Working in a software company, this is what the best PMs do really well, they figure out which features and bugs to work on that make the most difference, and they understand when to listen to the programmers and let them refactor things without making public-facing progress, and also when not to.
It's an interesting article, but the use of "far-right" instead of just "right" in the title reveals the authors' bias. CNN would not use "far-left" in a story about left wing donors.
If you're rural enough to not have any infant contact, you're not talking about lots of kids, you're talking about a very small population. Even then, you're still probably going to be exposed to whatever community you are a part of. Very few people are actually "off the grid" in that respect.
As renewables drop in price, the connection becomes a greater part of the cost.

I don't think this will make long term sense as a result.

You really want places with sun, and wind, and good grid connections to industry with power needs to make the most of the opportunity and then you can make green hydrogen to export as well, but that also requires good transport connections.

That export opportunity currently depends on legislation though as current alternatives beat it on price if they're allowed to ignore their externalities.
A Kinzhal missile is not what people are referring to when they talk about "hypersonic missiles". They're usually referring to either maneuverable glide vehicles (lifting bodies for warheads that allow them to change course during the terminal phase), or air-breathing SCAMJETs cruise missiles that are both maneuverable and can fly at low altitude to avoid detection (well, other than the noise).

Also consider that russia's Kinzhal can go about mach 4-5. That sounds pretty bad, until you realize that good old ICBMs re-enter from space and travel in atmosphere somewhere between mach 15 and 20.

Fast missiles like Kinzhal are not new at all. As far back as the 60s the USA had the Sprint and Nike which could accelerate from the ground to mach 10 in seconds and would glow white hot from heating. Even maneuverable glide vehicles aren't new, the Pershing II could perform limited course changes during descent back in the early 80s. Yes, fast missiles are scary, but they're not in the same class as true air-breathing hypersonic weapons.

Yes. Very young children have a different type of immune system. They are simultaneously highly resilient to some viruses that can kill adults, while being highly susceptible to other infections that adults can handle.
>But the best possible argument might be different enough that arguments which address it don’t address the original argument.

They might, yes. The point is to try not that you will necessarily always succeed.

This is why I said above that trying to do it but not labeling it is the best approach coz hey, maybe your steelman game sucks.

Regardless of how well this specific program goes, we need more programs like this in high skill professions. While it may not be suitable for something like an astrophysicist or mathematician, it makes perfect sense for degrees like civil engineer, architect, logistics, and many other fields.

The value of "on the job training" is almost universally recognised to the point where there are now issues where some companies won't even hire people who don't already have significant prior experience doing the job they are hiring for, effectively outsourcing that on the job training to their previous employers.

Not only does this help reduce the number of people who would graduates without any understanding of how their profession is done "in the real world", it would help reduce student debt and likely make them more successful job applicants in the long run due to additional years of practical experience.
We have more than 5 C++-alike languages that are crawling around already. In some ways they have portions of mutual compatibility. But in practice this only matters if you decide to embrace the complexity of five different programming languages when building your software. It's already somewhat challenging for projects to manage assembly, C, and C++.
> even if you are broke as a rat, you still have a place to stay safe.

This is generally solved by limitations on bankruptcy that prohibit you from being kicked out of your sole home due to debts, tax or otherwise, except if that house was bought on a mortgage.

However, there are certain advantages to taxing specifically wealth (as opposed to income or consumption), and a huge proportion of wealth is in real estate, for very many (I'd say most, but I don't have the exact stats) people the majority of their wealth is real estate, and it does make sense for people owning a much more expensive property to pay more taxes.
What about Latin, it uses the same typography as English.
Brute force.

So very often you see programmers spending days or weeks trying to think up an elegant, efficient way to do something that will never ever make a meaningful contribution to the footprint of their code. It's one of those traps that becomes more subtle the more skilled you get, so nobody's safe.

Try the simple, obvious thing first. Need to store an arbitrary number of something? Stick them in a vector. Need to find something in an array? Loop through the array. Yes, there are exceptions, but by the time you find one you've already saved the time it took to identify and optimize that one case, ten times over, by not wasting time in the other 99% of your project.
The only reason a lot of people have these homes is because property taxes pushed out the previous residents after they themselves pushed the property values up.

This is what happens when you don't have an income tax.
"fine with using it as-is" and "would buy some upgrade parts if they were available" are not necessarily exclusive.

I've known plenty of people for whom upgradeable laptops make no sense- by the time newer parts come out, their poor devices have been accidentally thrown down the stairs multiple times and are only being held together by hopes and dreams.

For others who are a little gentler on their devices, if upgrade parts were not absurdly expensive, and if other aspects of the "core" interaction experience were still modern-ish- basically if we haven't moved to 8K OLED screens etc- then why not just update what you've got?
