We have now tried it for on one consecutive week and to my opinion with great success!

The benefits that people are claiming I find are true, so far. It’s different, but it has almost eliminated all lead and wait time for us which I consider to be a huge obstacle for effectiveness.

I got convinced by The book The Art of Agile Development (https://programmingbooks.dev/#the-art-of-agile-development) where he describes mob programming as an easy mode for collaboration.

We used the book Code with the Wisdom of the Crowd (https://programmingbooks.dev/more/#code-with-the-wisdom-of-t...) as a guide to learn of to do mob programming.
Absolutely not. If you've actually done the research that leads the knowledge gatekeeper to ask these, these questions are easy for you to answer. If you haven't then you're wasting their time.
This question is phrased weirdly because it's not like I listen to the same audiobook over and over every time I take a long drive. Presumably you're looking for "good book that worked well in audio format and is long enough to keep me occupied on a long drive".

I've been on road trips that lasted over a year. Some options that kept me stimulated:

* Most audio plays that target public radio (BBC, ZBS, etc). Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe, etc etc.

* Anything from the Teaching Co. Pick a subject that interests you, you won't be disappointed. If you don't know where to start, go with Robert Sapolsky's "Biology and Human Behavior".

* Bill Bryson's "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" is worth calling out for length and breadth.

* High-budget podcasts. Not "a couple guys jabbering about how to cook" but the crafted ones. Serial is the obvious example, but there are a million more. This American Life. Planet Money. S*Town. The Agent. Darknet Diaries. If your podcast app is halfway decent, the discovery algorithm should keep you busy forever.
A common Muslim like yourself might say these actions are barbaric and not representative of your religion. But Islam isn’t having a reputation of being wholly arbitrary. A vast majority of Islamic scholars will and have justified the injunctions against Rushdie or any blasphemer.

And fundamentalism is a misnomer when it comes to Islam because any deviation from fundamentals is violently opposed. It’s a religion that never moved away from fundamentals. It has never had any reform that secularised and drew power away from the clergy.

You are probably a good, kind person but when this happens to Rushdie or any blasphemer it represents exactly what unreformed Islam is.

I honestly don't care if he hypes it for laughs, cold hard cash, or because he believes it; as obsessions go this one strikes me as harmless.

You do make a good point about conspiracy types, but I don't think it's necessarily his responsibility to educate everyone out of that. The best way to let the air out of that particular balloon is to send a small rover to the moon and land it near the original Apollo site, and then just drive it around beaming back pictures of stuff on the moon and attractive hi-res pics of Earth on a daily basis.

Does it break any new scientific ground? Nope. Will it do wonders for public awareness of/engagement with science? Hell yes.

I think the purpose was to provide the reader with an intuitive feel for how much the world changed over 35 years. Since I was alive in the 80s it worked pretty well for me, YMMV.
Since the meaning of no and yes aren't good enough, what do the one word answers other countries have mean?

“But I’m guessing we cover most of the applications you’d use”

I’ve read a couple other comments from them, and am pretty sure it’s a minor fluency thing. I’d give them the benefit of doubt :)
I read the Wiki article. It describes autophagy in two contexts:

1. Normal operation, where proteins, organelles, and whole cells are recycled.

2. Autophagy can also result from cell starvation.

Other sources ([1]) describe several methods of getting rid of or recycling cytoplasmic components:

1. Secretive--the cell kicks the garbage out.

2. Selective autophagic degregdation--the cell invites very specific components into a lysosomes, where it digests it. "For example, the cell can use selective autophagy to degrade unfavorable components, such as damaged organelles and pathogens. In these cases, the cell uses autophagy mainly for clearance (to prevent certain cellular components from causing further harm), but not for the degradation products gained from this process." Also, "One example of autophagy in clearance is the removal of oxidized biomolecules (proteins, DNA, and lipids) when the cells are under oxidative stress." Note that reducing (de-oxidizing) stuff requires an energy input.

3. "In contrast, during nitrogen or amino acid starvation, the cell needs to acquire amino acids by degrading and recycling existing materials in the cell via autophagy. In these cases, it is the recycling function that is more important to the cell, and this is the main function of autophagy that most people envision when considering this process." In section 2.1, the paper describes pathways different than those for selective degredation for non-selective degregdation.

The point is that that starvation-induced autophagy does not take out the garbage. It's a desperate canabalistic triage exercise; anything not essential to keeping the lights on is shut down and digested. It would be like a lizard shedding its tail and eating it. (AFAIK that doesn't actually happen.) Eventually those perfectly-good organelles are going to need replacing.

Another analogy would be a startup running out of funding. It might fire all the customer-support folks, beef up sales and marketing, throw engineering into feature-of-the-week firefighting mode, and let the tech debt pile up to astronomical proportions. Eventually, if they survive, all that will have to be replaced, at great cost and turmoil. It is not a beneficial excercise.

The question you ask is quite broad so the answer you'll receive will be broad as well.
Obviously, it's only going to work in blind people whose blindness results from corneal damage like cataracts and not from eye nerve damage or eye loss. Still, that's a very common cause. Here's hoping that this becomes a routine surgery in our lifetimes.

I guess the question would be "who is capturing the value" of the rental.

In some interesting ways - socialism is fairly close to the idea of "a person who cannot buy and outright own the tools needed for their work". Except the moral justification for that system is that the "owner" who is capturing the value is "all of us". Communism is also there, but it's a little more honest that the "state" (in whatever form it might take) is the owner capturing value - and you just hope that the state is doing good things for you, and will take care of you.

In practice though, I think our society is regressing to similar outcomes that were experienced in communist/socialist countries (not good), but the owner capturing value happens to be a corporate entity. Which is functionally not all that different from "the state", it's just even more honest that it has no real obligation to society at large. They carry obligations to their employees and shareholders, but not much else. In theory - they also have obligations to the government, but that requires that the government be functional and powerful enough to enforce that obligation. I think we're seeing that control slip (and not for the first time - robber barons was the term we coined last time it happened).

---

But to your point - it's not required to be a negative (in theory - socialism is great), I just have yet to see any case where it doesn't immediately devolve into abuse (see pretty much every communist country in history). It can still work out great for individuals if they happen to be on the right end of the deal, but it rarely works out for society at large.

I'd guess how much it bothers you is probably strongly dependent on how much you value individualism.

Radioactive isotopes cause damage by imparting energy in the form of energetic emissions that can be measured quantitatively in units of mSv. You get 6 mSv/yr from natural and normal man-made sources. 100 mSv acutely causes a small increase in lifetime cancer risk from a baseline of 40%. 300 mSv over a year does the same. Above that, cancer risk increases with dose. Arount 2000 mSv acute you start getting acute radiation syndrome (which is what the ~40 first responders at Chernobyl died from). Human LD 50/30 with medical intervention is about 8000 mSv.

So unless someone is getting more than 300 mSv a year, it's highly unlikely that they are being harmed by the radiation.
It’s funny, I commented on the update release blog where they announced this, and the comment has been “awaiting moderation” ever since.

I pay for fusion, and this really sucks. I’m happy to pay for a product I use, but I am not game to get nickel and dimed for features that used to be built in.

The software is great, but Autodesk clearly needs some new PMs.
The absolute contempt people would show others for suggesting the use of Blender over Maya was astounding. I hear it’s much better now. When I was in the industry in 2013-2015 it was very amusing to hear someone in the same breath talk about how much they hated Maya but how silly and *unprofessional* Blender was.
I’m new to Clojure, coming from Ruby and C and Pascal - there is no way I’m am leading myself to use ‘juxt’ and possibly combining it with ‘into {}’ (ruby’s each_with_object gets you close, but it’s not as powerful)

There are a bunch of paradigms that are really useful, but you can’t get to from here without specific help or examples

Specifies order without a hard more-recent-than dependency on everything after the |. So if the timestamp on "environ" is updated, that won't cause the "environ/lib" recipe to run, but if they both have to run then it ensures "environ" happens before "environ/lib".

It might not be necessary for this example, but I've found being more liberal with this feature and manually using "touch" has been more reliable in stopping unnecessary re-runs when the recipe target and dependency are directories instead of just files.
> To some neuroscientists, it seems as if the artificial networks are beginning to reveal some of the actual methods our brains use to learn.

I'm probably pinning a lot of hope on "some" here because I still tend to think at BEST we have plausible models to outcome. But, if biology teaches us anything it's that multiple
pathways to an outcome are not just possible, they're normal.

I'd say when the next order model on top of this one goes to the same place a biological system does in a way which exposes theory of mind, I'll be less sceptical. Even then it could be analogous but distinct paths to the same outcome and so useful and informative but not necessarily telling us how the brain "does it"

Start by determining what absolutely needs to be included in a minimum viable product, and prioritize ruthlessly. Amazon does this using "press-release-driven development."

Create a simple proof-of-concept prototype, maybe of just one small tiny aspect or feature of the system and then continuously iterate. Don't try to boil the ocean all at once. The positive feedback from having something that works, and then being able to try out changes and improve it is much more pleasant than the continuous frustration of having something large and complex that doesn't work which you keep needing to fix bugs in.

In your case, I'd start by building a "Hello World!"-style app using some simple framework like Python Flask (https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/quickstart/) or the node server of your choice. If it's longer than 50 lines, then you're doing it wrong. No CSS, no client-side JavaScript, just a plain HTML form that lets you POST an image from a browser to the server filesystem. Then once that works, start adding more functionality: add another endpoint where you can see the POST-ed image, once you can see the images, give them content-addressable hashes, post the images to some cloud service, etc. But first get something working locally that you can rapidly iterate on. Good luck!
I last used C++ extensively in the 00s but my general impression of modern C++ is that as it becomes more and more complex, it tackles it's complexity... by adding more complexity.
Blender is really nice but it isn't super easy to always get non-destructive/permanent modifications (but there might always be a way).
I would probably hesitate but, if I had some financial safety, I would eventually decide to quit. Is there a lot of upside to staying in terms of career growth and/or compensation?

Our mission

The Real News Network (TRNN) makes media connecting you to the movements, people, and perspectives that are advancing the cause of a more just, equal, and livable planet. We broaden your understanding of the issues, contexts, and voices behind the news headlines.

We are rigorous in our journalism and dedicated to the facts, but unafraid to engage alongside movements for change, because we believe journalism and media making has a critical role to play in illuminating pathways for collective action.

That’s why we make media engaging people not as a passive audience of consumers and spectators, but as active—or soon-to-be activated—participants in the struggle for a better world. Our platform highlights the voices and ideas not just of academics and pundits, but grassroots participants in social movements for change: the people on the frontlines of fights against injustice.
This is disingenuous. If you introduce a new product and say 'here's my business model' then sure, people can take it or leave it.

If you have a well established product that dominates its market and exploit your vendor lock-in to say 'hey in 30 days I'm just going to start charging you an additional rent in exchange for nothing, by turning off a feature you may have come to depend on' then you're basically telling your existing customers 'fuck you, that's why.'

They haven't created anything of value in this case. they've destroyed value in order to extract an economic rent. It's zombie economics.

Microsoft.

I'm sure I've written more than most other people currently alive.

ObjC is one of the most readable languages around. That's mostly because of the param:value syntax, which is much better than C-like syntax because you can see the parameter names. But the long method names aren't a problem once you have autocompletion. They also make it clearer what the best name for a method is - if you call something fmt() you start needing to make up equally clever short names for everything else, and it becomes less principled.

For algorithmic string building, I'm not sure how often you want + (aka appendString:), appendFormat: or componentsJoinedByString: are more flexible.
> reading & commenting from an old ThinkPad running OpenBSD

How old? IBM Thinkpads were often decent enough that I'd pick one up if I saw a good deal, but Lenovo makes them now and they've got a long history of pre-installing malware and backdoors in their products (often in exchange for money). It's a shame, because I hear they play very well with linux.

I'm not sure a Lenovo device would be any safer than the latest processors

我肏 is very common on the mainland. I don't know about bare 肏. But I can assure you that 我肏 is used as an interjection; I have even seen it used by girls.

(Which I was actually less surprised by than when I heard someone make fun of herself by saying 傻屄的我...)

> just to illustrate how filthy and vulgar 肏 is: it’s constructed of 入 and 肉. 入 means enter, go into, like 入口 is entrance.

Occasionally I wonder, if 入口 is entrance, what is the character 如 supposed to represent? Nobody objects to that one.
After hours of searching, it is annoying when the reply is something like "does this chat look like Google to you?" (though fortunately those are pretty rare), but the answers trying to teach you how to discover answers to your original question are closer to "teaching a man to fish", or the Socratic method: you'll probably discover the answer soon (possibly with additional help), and will be able to discover similar ones in the future.

That approach is both more educational and may be easier on helpers themselves; answering the same (or very similar) questions, often from the same people, isn't particularly fun or productive.

1. Fusion 360 appears to be pivoting towards CAM instead of CAD. Their CAM is getting better all the time.
2. Cloud sharing features in Fusion360 are unparalleled for cooperation between companies, SolidWorks doesn't come anywhere close.
3. Who needs FEA and isn't willing to pay a nominal fee? Anyone using an analysis feature is getting a lot more than what should come with a basic modeling and drawing package.
4. Simulation is definitely not a core feature for designers. It's an edge case, rarely used and is getting pulled further out from core functionality into cost+ territory.
5. With the pathetic Fusion 360 Manage this product seems directionless to me, but that's a separate topic. I see this change as moving even further away from engineers. Autodesk, if you're listening, we (designers and engineers) drive the bus at the end of the day. If you make your product suck for engineers (it does), we can and will move.
6. Refactoring CAD/CAM libraries is hard and involves a lot of technical, monotonous work. That's the "moat", but give me a good direction to move in and I and other designers and engineers will push hard to drop Fusion 360 like a hot potato if things don't turn around.

>Absolutely not. If you've actually done the research that leads the knowledge gatekeeper to ask these, these questions are easy for you to answer.

Depending on the specifics of the question being asked, sure, I agree.

But speaking only for myself, I abhor playing silly coy games of cat and mouse. I only come to chat rooms as a third/last resort exactly because so often you can't get a direct answer without satisfying somebody's ego first. It's basically hazing.

I've got a thousand things to do and it would be more expedient for both asker and giver if the response to "How do I do X?" was a simple "via Y".
Yes they called this a "set point," like a thermostat's; also debunked.

Projects are great but there's a deceptively challenging step in "formulate a small and feasible project idea". It's really hard to come up with a small and feasible project when you're a beginner.

First, beginners don't know what's feasible. To a beginner all of programming is computer magic. There's not a lot of difference to a beginner between training a machine learning system for classifying different apples and a proper auth flow with OAuth[1]. Second, beginners don't have experience with product skills like scope cutting, setting milestones, etc. Some may say "that's all business nonsense!" but the lack of these skills has an effect.

When I'd mentor underclassmen in college, they'd always say something like "let's build a mobile app that lets people create accounts for their pets and then uses machine learning to pair them with the best possible dog walker" as their "small and feasible" project. And I'd have to be like woah there buddy let's get us to "a mobile app that lets you create an account and sign in" first.

What I always tell people is that they should make an outrageously simple project. One of my first projects was a blog in Rails. That's literally the first tutorial for Rails! But it turns out if you add stuff like comments and responsive design and deploy the blog, you end up learning a lot. Start stupidly simple and you'll be surprised how much you learn.
