To give a sense of his intellect and interest, here is a selection from a recent speech to an architectural organization:

“Let me point out that I don’t go around criticizing other people’s private artworks. I may not like some of them very much, but it is their business what they choose to put in their houses. However, as I have said before, architecture and the built environment affect us all. Architecture defines the public realm, and it should help to define us as human beings, and to symbolize the way we look at the world; it affects our psychological well-being, and it can either enhance or detract from a sense of community. As such, we are profoundly influenced by it: by the presence, or absence, of beauty and harmony. I don’t think it is too much to say that beauty and harmony lie at the heart of genuine sustainability. I believe that precisely because the built environment defines the public, or civic, realm it should express itself through the fundamental ingredients that define a genuine civilization – in other words, those civic virtues such as courtesy, consideration and good manners.

It was when I was a teenager in the 1960s that I became profoundly aware of the brutal destruction that was being wrought on so many of our towns and cities, let alone on our countryside, and that much of the urban realm was becoming de-personalized and defaced. The loss was immense, incalculable – an insane “Reformation” that, I believe, went too far, particularly when so much could have been restored, converted or re-used, with a bit of extra thought, rather than knocked down.

I suspect that there are few among you here this evening who would now try to defend such things as the soulless housing estates that characterized that time. Albeit that they were pursued with the best possible motive. One of the problems that I think needs to be acknowledged is that so often we find the kinds of communities that work best cannot be built, due to the specialised and reductive nature of the modern planning process. The design standards imposed by the highway engineering profession, for instance, are particularly damaging to community as they ensure the dominance of the motor vehicle over the pedestrian, even within the neighbourhood. If I may say so, your profession could be of great help with this challenge of converting the planning and engineering professions, as surely you have noticed that the well-proportioned neighbourhoods of the Georgian and Victorian era hold their value far better than the monocultural housing estates of the past 50 years.”

I’m curious whether Patreon’s security team leaving will play in that dynamic.
I’ve heard a few CIOs say “The surest way to get fired is a security breech or replacing your ERP.”

For many companies it would be easier to do an asset sale of all their IP than to replace the ERP.

Since most ERP implementations are horrendously overdue and over budget, they are usually declared Done before they’re actually finished. That leaves a lot of crud and manual processes in their wake.

In addition, so many of these systems are on prem using hardware, operating systems and databases that haven’t been supported in decades.

I’m getting nightmares just thinking about it!

Pyflakes is better than nothing, but it is the nature of Python itself, IIUC, that it can't guard against variable typos because the mutable nature of the various contexts is such that the code under evaluation can't know if a variable name is referencing something that wasn't monkey-patched into scope via code in another module.

There's just no way to know that `if foo:` doesn't reference a foo that's supposed to be on the global scope.

(Contrast JavaScript, where `use strict` was added to force explicit reference to non-local scope).
You can set your home page to any url without any extension, you need an extension to set your new tab page to something other than the default or blank. The most popular extensions to configure new tabs was to make them blank so they added that feature.

Having the new tab page be a remote page doesn't make much sense if it ever goes down or you're not on the internet. Would pressing + open a new tab to yahoo.com or would it load yahoo.com but display an empty url bar?

What else do you want from them?

If one suggested this in any other language to suppress "unused variable" warnings it would be considered a lazy way to avoid fixing the issue.

Meanwhile the developer of Zig himself recommended doing this[0] which only shows what a bad idea it is to make this a compiler error imho. It encourages workarounds and enforces something we automated long ago in the form of dead code elimination.

I think actually being able to serve up millions of results would be more realistic.

It's the internet. The internet is huge. I can imagine there being millions of pages that mention cows in some manner. I know google indexes the internet, therefore I would expect that if it tells me millions that there are actually millions _THAT IT CAN SHOW ME_.

When it tells me 10 million and only shows me 8 million, I'll be forgiving. Maybe exasperated, but forgiving. When it tells me 10 million and can only show 400, that exasperation quickly turns into distrust.
The reality is that an increasing number of people can’t trust their impulses with food, as evidenced by climbing rates of disease related to poor nutrition (including too much food).

Our ability to regulate is hijacked by all kinds of things. Without that influence I think people can trust their cravings, but in the real world day to day it seems to be risky to encourage people to trust their urges.

What you were doing makes sense. I’m just not sure the majority of people should eat cake when they want it.

The reality is Amazon rarely pays for anything on the merchant side. FBA gives up an enormous amount of control, and in our experience results in Amazon Customer Service Reps issuing returnless-refunds for nearly every single contact, regardless of the cause.

But, it's a numbers game. Do enough volume and anomalies, including blatantly obvious fraud, don't matter. For smaller merchants though, it can be brutal.

It's to the point where FBA wouldn't be worth it at all for anyone operating their own warehouse and what-not... except for the fact that Amazon "boosts" FBA offers in search results and gives FBA merchant offers a larger share of the "Buy Box"... so you miss out on a considerable amount of sales if you do not FBA. Most of the "real" operations (ones that exist off of Amazon as well) do both FBM and FBA just to cover all the bases, but not be dependent on Amazon. But... I digress...
> Patreon giving their entire security team the axe without any notice should make anyone step back and rethink using their service.

It's really hard to get people to take their monthly contributions to a Patreon competitor. The inertia is really hard to overcome. So in a sense its kind of like lock-in - if you move you'll give up some % of your income.
> Google pays Apple to be the default search engine seems no different than Coke paying to be the first soda on the aisle or to be featured on the edge of the aisle. People are still free to pick a different search engine or go into the soda aisle.

It feels a little different to me because changing the default search engine requires more steps than simply walking down the aisle and it's obvious that the drink aisle has more drinks. Finding the search engine settings is rather difficult for the average user if they even know that there's settings for Safari, especially now that some of the settings are in Safari itself and others are tucked away in the Settings app.

In my mind, it seems it would be more comparable if iOS had you choose the default search engine at setup and listed Google first or every shopping cart in a grocery store already had Coke in it, depending on which direction you wanted to make them comparable.
I use ER diagrams, Sequence diagrams, State machines, Use case diagrams etc during planning design stages and find it really helpful to capture business processes / requirements and turn those down to a rough design. Except trivial cases (of which I admit we have plenty) thinking before piling up code has great value.

What did die is insane approach preached by fanatics in Rational. Now we have the same situation with Agile / SCRUM. I hope this abomination (the way it is being forced down everyone's throat) suffer the same fate. The other related subjects are / were - everything has to be, OOP, OOP sucks, let everything be pure functions and other crap like this.

Luckily I've avoided all the propaganda and sticking to "the only true religion" never mind that new new one would come out every other year
I would like to offer the dissenting opinion that it's good to send cs students out into the world with the idea that "software planning, management and communication exists, and there are a variety of approaches to it" - even if what's actually used is not taught (partly because good approaches are a genuine commercial advantage and things change fast).

If anything it would be great to see more emphasis on this, most engineers I know spend as much time planning, communicating, organising and reporting on work as they do sitting in front of an IDE.

Also, everyone I know uses sequence diagrams and ER diagrams fairly often when things get too complicated for handwaving.
Thanks to your comment, I was able to find a Snopes article:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hotel-soap/

It stated that this story is a work of fiction. Funny story, though! (And another instance of “this is so easy to verify, it couldn’t possibly be false!” which I think I need to be more wary of).

It's not stupid if it works. It's not like it's YouTube who is deciding these types of thumbnails perform well. It's just that users engage with those kinds of thumbnails more.

The race is about making the best possible thumbnail based of empirical data and not aesthetics.
There should be an alternative, I'm not a fan of new programmers relying on YouTube. I saw a code once from a fresh graduate who had a Java YouTuber for reference and followed the recommendation of the YouTuber that adding static to all the properties (variables and methods) is a good idea.
I'm pretty sure the only thing that's interesting to talk about when the Queen dies is if this is a perfect time to get rid of the monarchy, and dang said that's too 17th century to talk about. Without that conversation, IMO what's happening in the lives of kings, queens, princes, and princesses is also too 17th century to talk about.
I have one of these bike helmets. It's marginally more expensive and marginally heavier than others I was considering, but I bike for exercise not speed so I don't care much about the latter. In terms of pricing, I figured it was worth it to pay a bit more even if there's a low likelihood that it provides an additional benefit.

But after I bought it I recall seeing articles that undermined the claims. I know they have one or two good papers showing efficacy, but I think it's not quite settled science at this point.

You don’t have to pay a fee. Any account can sign and side load an app for free, and every 7 days you have to let it check in with apples servers. If you pay $100/year for a developer account, the apps can sit much longer without needing to check in.
In your example (link) one of the engines returned way better results: guessed and returned stuff that the query author probably meant.

In my opinion a search engine that can guess and understand my question from a single word is superior to encyclopaedic-bureaucratic return. (After all, in whole lot of times I am searching for something that I don't even understand what am I really looking for.)
This makes sense. Thanks I think I should look into this habit closely.
I wonder who really wrote it.

The importance it attached to feeding mainframes betrays his familial IBM connection (Mom), also the reason Microsoft now rules the world.
Entity relationship models are good, but people will disagree whether they are UML.

Sequence diagrams are useful, but the UML version with a vertical diagram with horizontal lines optimizes for the least necessary use cases; also, the UML one has no space for the participants states.

Use cases diagrams are useful, but the UML version just wastes all the space and takes all the useful information out (well, it keeps the actors, could be worse).

Class diagrams aren't very useful at all, and when you need them you don't need the formality that is the main point of UML.

And finally, the UML designers failed to include any data transformation diagram, because they really did only think in procedural terms.

My understanding:

2 entangled particles are 2 particles whose states are unknown, except that they are linked: e.g. 2 electrons which have opposite spins, or 2 photons which have opposite polarization. So when you measure one particle, you instantly know the state of the other even if it's light-years away (this is not FTL communication as you can't communicate this information FTL).

It's sort of like putting an "up-spin" and "down-spin" electron in a box, having someone shift around the boxes behind your back, putting the boxes far away from each other, and then opening one: before you open the box you have no idea what either box contains, after you open one you know both including the far away one.

Except it's not the same as putting an "up-spin" and "down-spin" electron in a box, because of Bell's Theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem#Theorem). Electrons' spin is actually determined when you measure them: you can measure up/down, but also left/right or any other 3D direction. And if you measure both electrons at a slightly different angle, their measurements probabilistically correlate in a way which means the electrons never really had any true internal "spin" (hidden variable) until you measured one of them. The fact that measuring one electron changes the others' "spin" faster than light seemingly violates the principle of locality.

The part which confuses me in the article is that, once you measure an entangled particle, they are no longer entangled. So I figure in order for this clock to be feasible you would either need an unbelievable amount of entangled atoms, you'd need to instantaneously re-entangle, or you'd need to use a "standard" atomic clock and only break entanglement after a certain number of ticks, to re-synchronize.
Excellent and well written reading, really liked the graphs to illustrate how the various algorithms loop.
Exactly right. We should work to lessen the tax burden instead of incentivizing raising it by hiding the number.

I'd like to see an exposition of how to slide a shape (e.g. ellipse) along a Bezier curve, and compute the resulting enclosing Bezier curve (something you'd need to render a calligraphic pen as a path, for example).
I don’t think so — there was never a time when C/C++ build specialist was a position.

And yes, it used to be easier. We didn’t have the speed and convenience of deploying code to the web, but we delivered software that worked, and with nicely-written end user documentation.
I think the problem is not precisely in the salesman but in that in a free world, the only way to get people to listen is to be appealing and what appeals to us is often not that healthy. Terms like "engagement machine" makes it sound like it's the algorithms which are unhealthy, but the problem begins with the audience. If everyone wanted to watch math content all the time then we'd have math celebrities over YouTube.
Wait, so like this?

def add(x: int, y: int) -> int:

In this thread are dozens of people complaining about something they would never use, ie going through a billion results. It’s really weird how hateful HN can be for no real reason.
I think people tend to overestimate the desire of most cats to spend time outdoors, because as humans we ascribe human motivations to cat behaviors. So we see the cat repeatedly try to go through the door, and we think of this as persistent behavior that reflects a high degree of motivation to go "outside". But "outside" is not a concept that a cat really understands. They understand doors well enough, and they might be frustrated and upset by not being allowed to go through them. But, as you mentioned, there's actually a lot more for them to be frustrated, upset, scared, and injured by outside than there is inside.
> But at the end of the day we all know there are significant potential benefits to this type of testing. Not only that, more demand can increase jobs & labs in the first place.

But at the end of the day we all know there are significant potential benefits to [testing cars every year]. Not only that, more demand can increase jobs [in testing centres] in the first place.

The question isn’t whether there are benefits. It’s whether the benefits exceed the costs. You need to actually measure those to find out. You can’t just assume it. Jobs in testing centres and labs are not a benefit. If they are doing useless work they don’t just cost money. They cost the potential output from the jobs those people could have done instead. The TSA doesn’t just massively inconvenience millions every year to almost zero benefit. It also wastes the labor of tens of thousands of people who could have done something better and more useful with their lives.
I'm a dummy. Why does this make them "linked"?

If I have two legos, always put them in opposite orientations, then walk away with a random one, being careful to not change its orientation, are the two legos "linked"? When I look down at the one in my hand, I will know the other ones orientation. How is the different with entangled particles? Is "entangled" just a way to say "still related because it's undisturbed"?
But you don't always have to return an error if something failed (say Hashmap lookup, strings.Index, or even just `if res1.IsValid()` without `err1` all together), right?

No, a real error type is strictly better than a success/failure bool, I think. For something like a hashmap lookup, “false” becomes “NotFound” (say) which is a lot clearer. And you don’t need the “true” at all -- in that case you just have the result of the lookup.

In your “res1.IsValid” example, would you still be returning a separate error result, just not using it? If so, that seems a little dangerous -- how can the compiler verify that you’re correctly handling errors? If instead there’s no explicit error return, it seems like you’re not really using the language’s built-in error handling, and it could work equally well in either Go or Rust.
I wonder how AirBnB gets around this. If you search for listings in The Netherlands you can see the service and cleaning fee not being added in on the map view, which seems like it’s a violation of the law you speak of.
