Benjamin Franklin had this amazing idea of having ball bearings in his hand while solving and thinking about hard problems. The thinking would eventually make him fall asleep and as he fell into a slumber, the ball bearings would roll off his hands startling him up. It is at this precipice, the fine line between awake and asleep states that most of his ideas came to life. He would start penning down his ideas in this state.

So it worked then, it works now. A 20 to 30 minute nap during the work day has a ton of benefits, including stress reduction. I don't know why it is frowned upon. I have fallen asleep many times at my desk and have been made fun of, but who gives a damn. I would rather be stress free and have some good ideas come about.
There goes my daily work driver. Surprisingly, it still works awesome with all lots of civil engineering softwares. 16GB DDR3 with an i7 4th Gen. There is no reason to discard it yet. Historically as soon as Microsoft dropped Win7, many of these software followed suit. This is the reason we had to abandon God number of PCs. This time out will be my PC as well than.
My town has a free magazine that is dedicated to only local town news, events people etc. It's primarily supported by advertisers.

They have a different family on the cover each month and people get SO excited if they get picked to be on the cover. Heck, I got profiled as "athlete of the month" b/c I started the town rock climbing club and it's still one of my favorite stories to tell about moving here.

What's this end your are taking about? People day that about every new version of Windows at least since the 95 release and it doesn't seem to be happening.
Our research lab has a team who develop all their pipelines in docker. Few months ago the IT department migrated all HPC nodes from CentOS 6 to Ubuntu. Rest of the lab have moved on but the docker team still hasn't, because all their workflows broke and they still keep insisting on not migrating some of the remaining nodes.
Unlike iDEAL, dealing with CB gets you nothing now. I haven't seen a CB card that wasn't also a visa card in 20 years, so if your payment system accepts visa you don't have to deal with them
I remember people saying that a decade ago...

Red states are self interested and won't say no to handouts as long as they receive them. Blue states believe we're "all in this together". So neither "side" has an incentive to raise the issue. Plus no one wants to be the guy who refused to help that poor down on their luck american who got their house blown away on the TV...

Kotlin may have many advantages over Python as a language (subjective), but the Java ecosystem is not an attraction over the Python ecosystem to me (both have flaws, but the Java world has a lot of bloated stuff)
omg that is the new thing, custom keyboards have saturated market with keycap variations and standard body designs... but now they need to start engineering out novel body types like an axe cleaver haha
The arbitrary bit is who is an employee. I can do the same work as my colleague, but one of us might be a contractor and the other an employee. The cleaners who clean my office come in every day like me, but they're not employees of my company. But they are employees of A company. But when I hire the same person to do the same job in my house, they're NOT employees. Some people who want to be employees are NOT, and others who do NOT want to be ARE.

It's a huge mess. Maybe it made sense when people worked one job for life, and when risks around employment were mostly about risk of injury and not downsizing etc. It doesn't work now. It does not protect enough people AND it stops others being as flexible as they want. And instead of us deciding whether an Uber driver etc is an employee or not (or them deciding themselves), we have dumped the responsibility on judges...

FYI, I am a brit.
Insurers withdrew a long time ago. This article is from 10 years ago.

> Virtually no private market for flood insurance exists for most residential and commercial properties.

While the rest of the country may not want to subsidize coastal FL and TX, I doubt the issue could gain enough political steam to overcome advocates from beneficiaries of NFIP.
How so? My machine doesn't lock up at all, no random crashes or freezes. Things work. Now you are correct that there are things I don't use or care about that may or may not work out of the box perfectly out of the box but the tweaks, settings and fixes are getting to be pretty known like power management for better battery life or suspend-then-hibernate.

I've been following Frame.work since the beginning and it seems the early days of the 12th Gen seem much smoother than the early days of the 11th Gen.

With the passionate hatred both languages inspire, I'm not sure which is which in your statement.

One could argue C++ gets even more done, since it is appropriate for use in more contexts, like firmwares/drivers, native SDKs, games, etc. Java's main use cases have strong competition in languages like C#, Go, C++, Python, etc.
Congress passed a bill seting the rates to be risk-adjusted in 2012, causing a 10x increase in rates in some areas. Congress then passed another bill in 2013 bringing back the 1968 rates under Obama.

My ADHD was diagnosed last year, around the age of 30. I started medication in January and I've been able to turn my life around - I no longer have that awful feeling that my next crisis is constantly flying towards me, just waiting to happen.

I was open and honest in my interview with my current company about my ADHD, and that I didn't need any form of special treatment (with the exception of a keyed locker to keep my medication in - it's a controlled substance in the UK). Everyone was understanding about it, and I have a lot of support on offer from them, but ironically I no longer seem to need it, my medication has completely removed my symptoms.

Large companies these days want to appear welcoming and care about things like diversity. We have a disability, and it's important we see it that way. Without my medication, I struggle to integrate with society, I struggle to focus on tasks (or obsess over them to an unhealthy degree).

There's also a lot to be said for hiring developers with ADHD who are being treated: We spent decades learning behaviors to allow us to focus on tasks, once we're being treated, the issues goes away but the behaviors remain. It can be a superpower sometimes.

I spent my life wondering how people focus on work for 9 hours a day: It turns out that they don't, but decades of trying to emulate that combined with "performing enhancing" medication means that we _can_.
Rust could have been designed for faster compilation without sacrificing runtime speed, safety, good abstractions, expressiveness and whatnot in any regard. The people designing Rust just either did not care or did not have the experience to do so. And it can not be fixed anymore because that would require too much breaking changes.

And yes, a substantial time is also spent for things like the borrow checker but no all of it.

An no, it is not a niche requirement. Short compile times are absolutely critical for developer productivity. One main reason Golang exists and got popular is that people got fed up with how slow C++ is to compile. Not to mention that most people on this earth are not as privileged as to have a beefy machine.
“In recent years, Kotlin has become a popular language for Android development. So it only makes sense that we would shift our Android development at Meta to Kotlin as we work to make our development workflows more efficient.”

I like Kotlin, but this was pretty funny to me: I imagined walking into a meeting and trying to tell colleagues we needed to move to X because it was popular, then yeet out the ole “efficient”, mic drop & moonwalk out
Well the only way you're ever going to see evidence is if you try. We could always go back to the old system if there isn't improvement. But frankly, if there isn't enough evidence to convince one person who is familiar with child protection that further investigation is warranted, then further investigation isn't warranted. If that eliminates a lot of cases from someone's docket, good - they can reallocate those resources to where they are needed.
Obviously kotlin has great tooling, coming from an IDE company.

But I think the main strength of Kotlin is it being so damn developer-friendly compared to Java and Scala.
> The kernel community has never been particularly interested in the whole free vs open source software debate

that's total BS

are you telling me that Alan Cox had no involvement in the Free Software?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Cox_(computer_programmer)

> It’s just that Linux used GCC extensions and no one was interested in doing the work necessary to have it compile on a non-GCC compiler.

the GCC extensions were essential to enforce the GCC supremacy because no other non-free compiler could implement them
Does C# not have a GC? I thought that would immediately disqualify it for kernel work.

Yeah, I'm fully aware that people generally don't care about any of that. Lots of people also don't care about their eating habits, the effects of their economic actions, etc, etc. But if they don't want to face the bad consequences of their choices, they should.
This is along the lines of an upswing in tape cassette sales. There might be a niche market but it wouldn't even sustain the needed infrastructure if it's not also being used for something else.

Although given the amount of junk I needed to sort through to find the article on that page I can see the appeal.
Many comments on this thread are about the pros and cons of leaking the local IP in an ICE candidate entry. You can certainly discuss this, but in my understanding, that's not what this post is about at all.

The issue is about leaking the local IP in the foundation which is supposed to be some sort of opaque UUID - the local IP isn't supported to be in there at all, whether you want LAN connections or not.

Is this correct?
I recently started using mypy and my experience so far is that it's a bit of a pain to get it to play nicely with numpy.
> Why do I have ads in my start menu and lock screen?

Serious question. How do I enable ads on my windows 10 install? I reinstalled a while ago and don't feel like I've done anything special and windows has not shown me any ads that I am aware of.

My lockscreen is a randomized background, which I quite like, and a prompt for my user & password. Nothing else.

My start menu was shrunk in width to get rid of all of those tiles and just shows a list of software I have installed, and can be searched by typing in it. No ads, unless you count the "recently added" section listing software I installed recently.
It helps that you have a great, long-established community of nice people who share a passion for what, for most, is a reasonably expensive hobby. (No offense intended− I commute on my GS :) )

I often hold up ADVrider as an example of a place where the "old internet" still exists— my experience lurking there is identical to my experience lurking on forums in the early 2000s.
I thought that they were using react native. Isn't that true now?
That method certainly doesn’t work because it is absolutely predicated upon discrimination not respect.
This 'splitting up in layers' gets done by third-parties, such as geofabrik.

Geodata is more complicated then just 'layering' everything. Also, making an entire ecosystem change is a huge effort
It’s incredibly unintuitive to have a command called “cut” that actually does nothing. I’m very thankful Apple has not implemented that.

You forget the time-aspect in your statement about Money being a company's sole purpose.

A bar may want to make money this month, and alcoholism be damned.

An investment fund with a thirty-years horizon of commitments to future retirees must want to make money in a way that does not compromise the commitment to still make money in thirty years, and must be able to prove that it is watching that.

One other thing Tidal offers is if you buy their highest tier plan $20/mo) they give $2 a month to your most listened to artist. Wish it was more given that the plan is twice the cost of the next plan, but the plan does include a bunch of other stuff.
Interesting that you do seem to care.
One of the things they don't mention is that J2K makes you pick between:

* A conversion in 1 commit: complicating/breaking the 'follow' behaviour of 'git blame'

* A conversion in 2 commits: the first 'rename' commit doesn't compile, complicating/breaking 'git bisect'

I hacked up a script which makes the 'rename' commit compile (when I was working with a ~100KLOC Kotlin conversion). This may be useful for others:

Not sure if this question is directed at me. My understanding is that mermaid is relatively similar to plantuml in that it doesn't give you 100% control over layout and diagram features.

What plantuml lacks (maybe mermaid less so) could really only be improved upon by working with raw svg I think. There is a LaTex package tikz that offer much more flexibility than plantuml/mermaid, but you still run into limitations in that diagram features are predefined.
Let's forget about OLE/OpenDoc implemetaions, since they really limit our view. I'm talking about the interface only. The change in the interface that removes borders around files and programs. So that you work on two different programs (technically), but on the screen you see them as one (visually)! We can implement this solution even with current Windows/MacOS. All we need to do is just remove those borders and make the "windows" completely transparent. Now, you don't have any windows or borders. You just have different files stacked on the screen. And different "function bars" on top of them (from different programs/apps).
No the entire app is not react native. Only parts of it.
My hatred is not so much for TikTok itself, but for the controlling entity a few steps removed.

If I were to judge TikTok solely on its own merits as a service then I would just be sitting at a "smoldering disdain" with perhaps a dash of sadness for modern preoccupation with frequent dopamine hits.
Do you want to block attempts to skirt the profanity filter? How to you avoid reintroducing the Scunthorpe problem?

Jeez, darn are all mild forms of expletives, should they be blocked? What about bloody? That many anglophones would go to if you couldn't swear?

Surely if you can't use those, people are just going to say gosh instead, or Smeg or frel. Should they also be banned. Swear words exist for a reason, you can perhaps get rid of the harshest forms, you are never going to remove the need or desire for people to swear though.

What if the people developed the missiles for defense? It's not like the engineers have much say when the state goes crazy and starts using them in offensive manner. You can quit at that point, but stockpiles are built over decades, not overnight - the missiles are already done and fired by the time you quit.

> Nothing. People gonna war either way. No amount of shaming, pearl clutching, or accurate laying of blame at someone's feet is going to convince adversarial countries to never go to war or fire munitions in anger.

Indeed - so defensive measures like missiles are necessary. Why is it unethical to develop them?
The native modules still need to be written against Android (these are typically either Java or Kotlin, plus maybe some native code).
Me too. I can see on my MRIs that my brain mass is decreasing, even though there are no new lesions. I'm not quite 40 years old yet and am physically and mentally very active. Does it matter? Time will tell...
Look how many comments here are something like: "Well, of course leisure is good - because it helps me work harder!" It's sad. It's that "work-is-noble" ethos. These people are effectively saying that they are at-lesiure in order to work better - they have it backwards! I don't know about you, but I work in order to be-at-leisure; I am only ever not-at-leisure in order to be-at-leisure. Refreshing and recharging is good - because it's the end, not the means!. But so many here seem to be framing leisure as the means, the end being work itself. Work itself is not noble.
It's an absolute massive codebase, but the compilers and analyzers in Roslyn[0] are very clearly written.

For a random example, here is the analyzer finding variable swaps of the form

tmp = a;
a = b;
b = tmp;

that can better be done using tuples:

And no, don't tell your boss. If they haven't noticed your burnout by now, it'll only make them be super critical of everything you do. Yes, bosses can be friends but it's a new job, I doubt you have bonded that strongly already (or you wouldn't be asking this question here in the first place).

No need to project psychology on it...
You're not paying the premium based on the actual risk, but instead some fixed amount. So if a flood does destroy your house you collect the insurance money to re-build at a cheaper cost than it should've been relative to the risk... kind of like insurance arbitrage. It's still an additional policy, but there's wiggle room to make the policy holder profit.
Pointer are useful, since you don't have to copy some stuff around. It reduces the memory footprint, but you hace to watch out for parallel access on the same object.

If you were not drinking coffee, perhaps you might as well. I wonder if our cultural addiction with caffeine, an effective sleep inhibitor, is the reason why napping and siestas feels so weird and exotic to our modern minds. "Oh you're from Italy? I heard they take lunchtime naps over there." Sadly only my grandma had such a luxury.

Everybody else chugs coffee and is expected to work 9-18 without pause, like the rest of the Western world.
I don't think you're looking ahead far enough. It's true that people's attention spans have declined, but I can't imagine that is a permanent condition. Giving sustained attention to interesting things is an essential feature of human minds, and I'm certain we'll regain that ability over time. I see signs of it even now. And when you say, "…current magazines are really bad and vapid and cheap," you're describing the unsuccessful response by many publications to pressure from digital media: they cut quality. A resurgence of magazines will require that they recognize that error and correct it, publishing magazines that show depth of thought and quality writing and printing — all the things that are discouraged by the "quantity first" attitude of digital media. I think the time for a resurgence of print periodicals is coming soon.

Ask HN: How to collaborate when development workflows are differet?
I work as a data scientist and recently got promoted from IC to leadership of a small team. I'm having a lot of problem collaborating with my teammates because they are using a different os, different editors, and are slowly learning some better software engineering practices.

But I find it incredbly hard to collaborate due to these workflow differences, and it seems that people are very attached to those (because they came up with them themselves, myself included). I'm willing to change but it seems very counter productive to do so because I've seen a lot of their habbits and solutions not work in many instances.
I read that this was not due to flood losses, but rather excessive fraud that the state is not policing causing untenable losses.

Why not?

Think of it in the other direction, why should you be allowed to use evidence that has no documented reason of being accurate.
Because you don't need to move your pinky as far? There's no need to hunt for Ctrl anymore than you need to hunt for left shift. Takes like 10 minutes to get used to.
More exercise and an improved diet would likely help a lot.

Man I wish everyone did that. I managed a team of twenty with a layer of managers and it was just impossible to get a pulse on workload. The truth is there is always work to be done. It doesn’t have to be feature work but it could be product health, process health, or pie in the sky thinking work. Some employees were great about utilizing downtime to tackle these but many were not. I loved the ones who were confident to tell me “hey boss I got some time. What do you want me to focus on ?”
