The data I’m seeing is from studies showing that developers doing peripheral duties and getting interrupted is one of the biggest barriers to productivity and quality among developers rather than training, education, or even raw IQ.

I was going to suggest the RET but I didn't remember the BP being set to save the additional byte. Nice, albeit sacrificing some compatibility.

Your fix is wrong, so the site rejects it.

Go doesn't do integer type conversions implicitly, to avoid the implicit-type-casting bugs endemic to C. Go (thankfully) doesn't allow an implicit conversion from int to byte. You must do the cast explicitly.

So you would have to say

to = append(to, byte(ctrl))

and that's correct.

The site builds and executes the code you submit, and any correct solution is accepted.

They were shoehorning V8's into miatas, well outside of the warranty period. Locked into obsolete engineering is a crutch/impediment, not innovation.

Seeing the 4G rollout was a good economic course in environmental pollution and abandonded psuedo-innovation. All of the older surplus 2G/3G/4G hardware and abandonded software was sold to developing countries. Now every device on tcp/ip has inferior muck with an out-of-date ecosystem.

Desktop computing had it right when the information superhighway still existed. Just install new hardware thats backwards compatible (the hardware was forward compatible by design).

The tabloid quality fodder and disposible commerce has always been 3rd world, much in the same way that tcp/ip evolved.

Anything for an inferior integer to stay relevant, huh? The environmental impact is someone elses problem :p
You might find some books with more advanced Node.js material on Packt Publishing.

> you will be liable for that.

Maybe, but that's not so sure either. The people likely to be liable are the people who designed, built, and maintained the theater. If there is a fire, people should be able to escape. That's only more true in the case when people only think that there's a fire, but actually the only danger is the bad traffic flow and lack of sufficient exits.

This looks great, congrats on the launch!

What's the story around user privacy regulations? The intersection between KYC regulations and things like GDPR are very hard problems, because the former requires collection and storage, while the latter requires deletion, editing, updating, export, and general user control.

I'll argue this isn't a problem with Star Trek as a problem with our society... in general we have seen a general bitterness in media since 9/11. Imagine a show that you saw before then and generally whatever you imagine will be far more positive than post-9/11 television.
I remember seeing that in old Asm books too. My best guess is that it avoids having too many forward references, which would take up precious memory in the systems of the time and perhaps reach the limit of the assembler sooner.

I was skeptical on Mastodon. But I'm actually realling enjoying it. It's having a surge in popularity the last few days. When I checked it out a couple years ago it didn't click with me. But now I'm liking it, and I think there's potential there.

It won't "replace" Twitter. But a good crowd of people has collected around there, and there's quite a bit of enjoyable content coming through.

“A car tyre is the second most important piece of rubber in a man’s life”

All jokes aside, buy the best road tyres and brake pads (inc. discs) that is most suitable for your common driving environment.

Down here in rural Ireland I’ve got “wet / rain” tyres. Not only can I stop on a penny, the car (Audi TT mk1) can also shift pretty quick for safely manoeuvring hazards. 99% of time I drive like a grandpa :-)

Be hyper aware of drivers around you too. If there’s a driver following who clearly shows they are _determined_ to overtake then the safest option is to pull over and let them. Their sense of judgement might be poor and result in a collision where you are collateral damage.

Sometimes the code isn't clear because the reason for the "if" has nothing to do with the code and everything to do with externalities.

For example, I wrote a DNS server that had to take into account that on many Linux systemd distributions a daemon `systemd-resolve` binds to 127.0.0.54:53, preventing my DNS server from binding to INADDR_ANY port 53.

So my DNS server has a contorted piece of code that, when binding to INADDR_ANY fails, iterates through all the interfaces and all the IP addresses and binds to each one individually.

Anybody looking at the code would rightfully ask, "What the heck?", but if they read the commit messages, the reason becomes clear.
Having worked as DevOps, I would really start a guide with a qualification of the pro's and con's of DevOps to evaluate if DevOps is the right path.

The sad truth is that DevOps is a cost center which comes with all types of organizational disrespect, including lower pay and harder political battles.
TBH, I just speculated. I remember 60s ibm research publications on cfg, optimizations against it and was pretty sure these things are very hard to do on an ast or those simpler line by line compilers popular back then.

In fact, even the original fortran had quite an involved compiler, complete with numerous optimisations and sophisticated register allocation.

Fun read, btw.

Seems like a very political answer from Andrej. Of course he’s not going to outright say “yeah, we’re prioritizing the profit margin over accuracy and safety considerations” if he wants to keep his job, but that seems to be the short of it. Others may choose to follow, at least in the short term, but it won’t be because of “entropy” making the system worse (you can always build a model without a data source and then refine the results based on the added value of a data source) but doing so just because it will save lives doesn’t cut it when the goal is to cut corners and costs to maximize profit. I can believe that some types of sensors aren’t worth the trouble in terms of additional signal to noise ratio, but I can’t believe this is one of them.
Yes, and those people get my full priority.
They should be punished, that line of work is just pure decadence.
I would be hesitant to use a framework like this for anything except basic use-cases. This, as well as other frameworks like chart.js are configuration-based. That means they are good for the defined features that they support, but as soon as you need to do something outside of what the developer has considered you will be fighting a losing battle.

I much prefer composition-based charting library. I use react, so I like Visx for that.
The idea itself isn't bad, it's how well the restaurant executes the idea.

Nobody likes to read a 11x17-sized menu in a PDF that you have to constantly resize on a small screen.

Bonus point if you can sort by price, calories, and filter for some common allergens, intolerance or dietary choices.
To add to the previous, where is our commitment to misconduct and abuse of power that causes widespread damage? If we actually cared about deterring crime, we'd take the same punitive approach to white collar criminals as street crime.

I argue that white collar crime doesn't have the same psychological effect on society. It doesn't create the same demand for human sacrifice. Consequently, you've got no interest in taking a pound of flesh, combined with the same lack of actual care for safeguarding the public interest.
It isn't like it was a non-profit before run by a board trying to make Twitter awesome for users or some form of cooperative that was owned democratically by its community... it was a "public" company that, by construction, could only blindly optimize for profit of its shareholders--and, even worse: almost always relatively short-term profits, which is why you see a lot of these companies right now trying to squeeze a few extra dollars out of everyone instead of just holding out for a year on cash reserves, as otherwise people will (rightfully) sell their stock and wait to re-purchase it if things ever look up again--at the almost explicit expense of its users (who frankly should have bailed as soon as the company went public, as that's the moment you knew the company no longer was even allowed to care about their interests).
So you either don't talk to women, or you do so willingly knowing it causes them discomfort.

Ah, just like the US - the progressive areas report last, so they have an opportunity to "fix" the vote. This is what a lot of conservatives in the US believe anyway. I don't think the 2020 election was stolen, but I think it's worth assuaging these concerns by changing procedures so that all in-person and mail-in votes received on Election Day report at exactly the same time.

Individual storms are hard to predict, but the general possibility of a storm is easy to predict. In fact the possibility of a storm rendering the island's docks unusable was predicted, but Hammond didn't act on it because it would have cost money.

> "I want that equipment," Hammond said. "That's equipment for the labs. We need it."

> "Yes," Arnold said. "But you didn't want to put money into a storm barrier to protect the pier. So we don't have a good harbor. If the storm gets worse, the ship will be pounded against the dock. I've seen ships lost that way. Then you've got all the other expenses, replacement of the vessel plus salvage to clear your dock ... and you can't use your dock until you do..."

A reoccurring theme is the whole island being designed as a fragile system which cannot tolerate more than one or two failures at once. Malcolm's chaos theory argument says they can't predict when and how multiple failures will stack up to create a disaster, but could have designed their systems to be more robust to failure. For instance, they could have built a sheltered harbor for the island so that the very predictable eventuality of a tropical storm wouldn't isolate the island. They didn't, specifically to save money.

Another example since you bring up Nedry: why was Nedry hired to automate everything on the island, and why was he essentially working alone on it? Because Hammond was obsessed with not just making money, but making lots of money:

> Gennaro had to smile. It was almost the same speech, word for word, that he had used on the investors, so many years ago. "And we can never forget the ultimate object of the project in Costa Rica-to make money," Hammond said, staring out the windows of the jet. "Lots and lots of money."

> "I remember," Gennaro said.

> "And the secret to making money in a park," Hammond said, "is to limit your Personnel costs. The food handlers, ticket takers, cleanup crews, repair teams. To make a park that runs with minimal staff. That was why we invested in all the computer technology-we automated wherever we could."
It's not an opinion. It's common sense. Do you think Rust or Swift would exist if LLVM would have stopped its development long ago in favour of <insert new exiting tool>?

Not only in software, if we keep renewing rather than perfecting software, we won't go anywhere.
So the basic idea is to programmatically set a "floor price" at every revival, and penalize everyone that sells their tokens at a price lower than this "floor" in 50%... So it's a ponzi scheme down to the core, the rules of the "smart" contract itself try to enforce it. Every time I think the crypto world can't get more scammy I'm always, always wrong.

I’m talking about usable energy by humans today. This is by far the most critical thing to our society and the climate crisis.

Steam generated by burning coal is in no way a clean energy source while steam generated by geo thermals is. It’s just boiled water either way. Take some time to consider why that difference is relevant.

>Today Google's eight rules for managers is basically a cross between HR and a life coach.

Is Google something to aspire to? They got early into a very lucrative market and have basically been milking it for decades. Good for them but luck isn't reproducible. Their ability to deliver new products is so bad it's literally a joke. I can't even remember any viable new product from them in the last decade (the 10th iteration of chat doesn't count). In terms of productivity they were known as a rest and vest company. Great for engineers but I can't imagine it's great for a company without a near infinite spigot of money.
I am amazed to find people cheering for Lula.

Not that Bolsonaro is a good choice, but you really should read up on Lula. The US media reduces this as Left vs Right, but it's more like horribly corrupt, racist, opportunist with a thin veneer of Left, vs horribly corrupt and military-backed Right.

Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luiz_Inácio_Lula_da_Silva#Corr...

And to be clear, my point is that Brazilians find themselves in an election that is oddly similar to the US election: a choice between two awful candidates that should both be retired from politics.
