Why your REPL experience sucks
Fair point, but it's not an open platform, so not a lot of developers will encounter it. Symbian was open in the same sense as Windows or macOS.
It’s as right wing as they come full of writers who somehow feel Brexit was a good idea!
"Minor Attracted Persons", I think OP is trolling.
The literal exact opposite happens. Journalists without a byline or with a shrunken byline have little incentive to build up a brand as a trustworthy and thorough reporter because they will derive no benefit from their reputation. When their bosses lean on them to produce crap to gin pageviews up just before bonus season they therefore produce crap.

Media owners want this. They want journalism to be commodities because journalists with reputations can demand higher pay. They can then claim more of the profit.

The losers are the readers and the journalists.

In a sense it's the same process that is turning amazon products into shit. Without trustworthy reputation signals, the lowest common denominator rules.
Yeah but Trump was too much of an unstable clown to do anything meaningful. Trump made the whole thing about his persona. I think people like DeSantis are more on point(i.e policy not cult).
> 5. Job market is weakening with no recovery in sight

I'm a lifer by your definition. From my POV the market is not weakening, it's just transforming. I'm getting fewer recruiter messages than ever, but they have never been this good, including recruiters from FAANG companies that had never looked me up.

The current market is all about quality over quantity, hiring less but with more specific goals, specialists over generalists, etc. If you share that mindset you will be happy, if you don't you will get the impression companies have stopped hiring.
Cheeses and some meat products, likewise. Plus there is something about milk products that makes them extra enticing. Tryptophan probably.

Beer is a serious calorie input too.

Terribly difficult. I keep oscillating around 65 and 69Kg.
Hi everybody! Stigg’s APIs and SDKs cut the time engineering teams need to build and maintain pricing in SaaS, and removes complexities in handling the access control and provisioning logic.

As such, we are always working on additional ways to make the experience with Stigg easier. For our latest product update, I’ve created an integration with AWS API Gateway to centralize gating features in the backend application.

The API Gateway implementation uses Lambda authorizers to control access to your HTTP APIs. When a customer calls your API, API Gateway invokes your Lambda function and uses the response to determine whether the customer can access your API.

Full documentation here → https://docs.stigg.io/docs/api-gateway
We’ve also built an example project on GitHub → https://github.com/stiggio/stigg-aws-api-gateway-example

Thought to show this to the community to get your thoughts - have you been working with AWS API Gateway? Is there any other integration method you think could be helpful for our users to simplify the integration process?
I find myself turning on "Verbatim Mode" for almost all of my searches.

Seemingly Google is being "helpful" by removing large chunks of my search query, so as I can more specific, Google just throws all of that out and I get the same junk SEO results. You can go back to Old Google, but going Tools -> All Results -> Verbatim. This is NOT the same thing as quoting your entire query, it just doesn't let Google simply drop 50% of your query's words.
Yes, let’s work on a solution that’s super expensive while and not known to actually work while we ignore cheaper solutions that may actually be affordable.
And the images in question are still being falsely advertised on their website with the exhilarating narrative. It's a pretty good scam in the digital world of art as long as it lasts.
I'm always interested in visual programming ideas, but this one -- like most others that aim for a general use case -- falls short.

-- Who is this made for? A person who can program in this can write code as text.

-- Visual boxes like these hide the function definition, needed for debugging and extending the app.

-- There is no difference between typing parameters and typing values in these visual boxes.

-- What kind of app UI can be built with this? To be useful in production, other people have to be able to run it.

-- The API for these visual boxes recreates 90% of the JS/HTML API for no reason.

-- Connecting the code and behavior of these boxes to a real UI that runs in the browser will be nightmarish. They are two different ecosystems.

Having said that, if one is interested in learning to code (rather than trying to avoid coding by drawing lines), Microsoft Makecode is probably the best-in-class way to do that right now. It has visual components but also real Typescript, which is what a newcomer should probably be learning right now. As an example, here's a browser based game[1] I wrote that can be edited in blocks or in text.

Gmers Won't Miss This
I've found it to be pretty on par with the Economist, but more US focused with a bit more clickbait. I've read some great articles on there, but wouldn't be in any rush to subscribe.
It's been probably 15 years since I took a class on image processing, but I recall that it was very obvious looking at a 2D FFT and other frequency analysis tools if an image had been modified, because you'd end up with a lot of discontinuities. Maybe that is not as telling these days because every image is going through multiple rounds of processing. However I personally find it difficult to follow the "look at the shadows!" type of analysis, and all I can think is there's probably a better way to present this with less ambiguity. Maybe the writer is just using the tools they know and doesn't have the background or tools they need.
Yes definitely permanent damage here too. The interesting thing is that things that were wrong with me stopped getting worse. Was worth it just for that.
Tony Xu’s Message to DoorDash Employees (layoff)
This sounds great, but isn't this -

> hopefully keep them at bay as much as possible

...wishful thinking, or symptom management, rather than cutting at the root of the issue (less than rational thinking)? Would be happy to be corrected here.
if somebody googled 'how to end someone's life' do you think that should be noted by anyone?

I don't think it should, not any more than somebody looking up "where to buy shoes" should be noted. Simply by looking at the phrase somebody typed into a search engine we can't ascribe any kind of motivation. Are they looking for particular song lyrics, doing research for a novel they're writing, looking up something they are talking about with some friends, actually thinking of killing someone? We don't know.

Even if they have taken leave of their senses and are looking such a thing up with intention of acting on the information they find, that doesn't mean that they are actually going to act on it when the fit of irrationality blows over. How often do people think to themselves "I'm going to buy a motorcycle," or "I will start eating healthier," or some such without ever acting on it?

And how many murders happen unpremeditated? Simply by throwing everyone who looks up "murder" online we won't prevent all homicide, and we would simply set a bad precedent: "look up information we don't want you to look up and we'll toss you in the clink."
I struggled a lot with weight but not since a least a decade, and my take is that we are missing the problem. Yes it's simple math, but it's not about the people having poor control, the real problem is some type of food are just no match for our will, they are just brain hacks. I find staying in good shape very easy, but at the same I absolutely cannot resist some types of food if they are available. What I found is simple is not buying them. E.g. if I can only snacks almonds at home I will be full before getting fat, whereas it's possible to eat a whole meal calorie equivalent of potato chips or ice cream without feeling full. What is complex is that it's all dependent on your options depending on where you live, your social circle, and yes a bit of control. Kind of like the difference between trying to stop smoking and having the pack with the lighter ready in front of you vs being in a smoke-free environment. So it's a bit of both, people have a responsibility for their state, but it's not entirely their fault. Now without regulation (but how do we even start banning some mixes of sugar, fat and salt), what options do we have?
Eh? I'm not sure how you're getting that from the article. The article says that Bitcoin is not useful, and advises banks not to promote it. It doesn't... ban it, or anything.
A lot of the suggestions here are selfhosted. Mine are not.

"Outside of Stackoverflow results (which, thankfully, are at the top of the page), most articles are written for a broad, beginner audience (like a React article starting with a tutorial on installing React)."

This is the result of a confluence of two issues that plague (yes, plague) our industry: the disinterest/dismissive attitude towards documentation and the infection of celebrity status/hero worship as having importance. People apparently feel the need to self-promote, and a quick-and-easy way of doing that is "publishing" articles like the ones you mentioned. And thanks to the lack of documentation discipline, that depth of content is more or less the norm.
Nope, because next time it might be for something else. Maybe next year society decides to dislike socialists. Just because I dislike racism and racists does not mean we should fire them for things outside their job.
This one hits home!

Many moons ago (like... 12*6=72 moons, aprox.) I got my hands in one of these kits: https://chrismcveigh.com/lego_kit_guides_2018/my_first_compu...

[Note: I might have got v2 or v3, I guess]

I have all the stuff (screen, small pi-like board, cables and so on) to try and convert it into a small, functioning, Macintosh 128K. Now, where did I left the free time...? Can't seem to find it now.
Cool. That's not really the purpose of this though, but github pages works for a bunch of people. SPA and SSR are not anything like this, or github pages for that matter...
To add to this, therapists are the first ones to admit that not all disorders are curable, and that therapy doesn't work 100% of the time. Even the best therapists work with patients for years in some cases and fail.

When someone says "just go get therapy" it says more about them than anything else: they're demonstrating that they're misinformed, low empathy, or both.
>It doesn't align exactly with my political values but I've always found the writing to be of high quality

I'm just going to throw it out there that maybe your political values are beginning to overwhelm your other opinions?

The Economist's content is unique outside of, maybe, the Financial Times in your list. You're certainly not going to find much similarity with The Jacobin, they're polar opposites politically.

The best replacement for The Economist is probably a major newspaper.
What is the Twitter fiasco?
I think google has reduced their weights for github drastically. The other day, I googled a github url verbatim (without the https:// - Firefox Android somehow didn't have the option to open the url when I selected it) and the repo was nowhere in the search results.
Linux is both older than Symbian and wasn't designed from scratch since it's derived from Unix. So I guess it's a philosophical question whether Android is Linux or something new.
I highly doubt that. How did social media increase self censorship in the media?
> To clarify - say a schoolteacher writes expressing their strongly held personal racist beliefs (without specific reference to how this relates to their teaching role) would you consider that a reason?

No, unless the bias actually shows up in their marking or treatment of students. People can say they believe all kinds of things but their professed beliefs and their actions don't always align.

A job entails certain duties, and "duties" are actions you must perform between certain hours, it does not govern how you should think or what you should believe. Or do you not believe that scientists can be religious too?

The problem here is that you do not believe that people can separate their beliefs from their duties, and you want to presumptively and proactively punish people without evidence that their beliefs have compromised their duties.
>Personally, the thing that has consistently worked is portion control. It will always be easier to eat only the calories you need, than to burn calories from over-eating.

The thing is, moderate amount of exercise has fairly proven track record of improving peoples health. Whether they loose weight or not in the process, the statistic result in blood pressure and what not are real.

The same can not be said about weight loss based on portion size only. Which simultaneously make it easy to cut portion into malnutrition of some sort, despite still having many calories in it.

How would anyone find it if you can't link to it from the original?
Yeah, honestly there are similar things and other things that do this better if your goal is to just run a blog. This was a simple project I figured I could finish in two weeks and refresh some skills along the way while using some new libraries and technologies.
I find it particularly interesting that this comment continues to focus on the details of the extent to which this individual was dishonest—something that I'm sure is definitely possible, though I suspect a little overblown—rather than the low-quality and inflammatory tone of the response, which is something we can directly observe. But we each have our own concerns, I suppose.
Strongly disagree. Very often we see troubled individuals who have gotten under the fed's radar, both local and FBI. Yet these individuals would pass background checks, purchase firearms and commit atrocities. The FBI is not going to come and knock on your door or do anything to you. You have to be breaking the law to get in trouble with them. I reckon a local sheriff/police in a small town would make someone's life a nightmare.
Okay, so it sounds like you do agree with what I actually wrote.
That is a valid point, I will look into creating a video of the prototype to show off the concept. My goal is to gather user insights and feedback before building too much product. Your feedback is much appreciated, thank you!

Also just use Hetzner, Vultur pricing is outrageous
I disagree with the author. There might be some self-censorship but the epidemic is actual censorship. As the article says, some people call it cancel culture but it has become obvious it's more insidious.

The author is right, there are a ton of major consequences because of this censorship.

>Such a climate could lead to "the death of curiosity, the death of learning and the death of creativity", the award-winning Nigerian author warned.

This is tip of the iceberg. The consequences are so much worse. They see it from an artistic point of view. I see it from a politics and economics point of view. The good news it looks like we're past the peak. The politics behind all this is about to become quite irrelevant, most likely end up as a new religion.
Skipping meals like this is a sign of an eating disorder.
>Journalists without a byline or with a shrunken byline have little incentive to build up a brand as a trustworthy and thorough reporter because they will derive no benefit from their reputation.

Or...journalists without a byline have little incentive to "build up a brand" through by appealing to a "side" or sketchy reporting. It cuts both ways.
Yeah this x10 . The unfortunate reality of staying at one company is that unless you move through the ranks very very very quickly, and the company has significant raises for those vertical moves, you will very likely be underpaid, sometimes by incredible amounts. And it doesn't even take very long for that salary sacrifice to come in. Considering benefits, pension plan, etc, I'm making about 65% of what I could be making at another company, and I've only been there for a couple years. And it's not clear that the work life balance would be all that different either.
Any recommendation of a fair description of the impact of Brexit on the UK and why it's not desirable? Asking as an EU citizen who keeps hearing all day how much these Brits are struggling without the rest of us.
> Tabs are just links. Why do you have to keep them open? Can't you just bookmark them ?

I use both tabs and bookmarks and they serve different purposes:

- tabs are ephemeral and not meant to be saved. Saving them as bookmarks adds friction because it leads to "managing" them later in bookmarks UI to find+reload+delete them. Using multiple tabs avoids digital housekeeping work. Bookmarks are more useful if the url is "promoted" to reference status (e.g. like the weather page being bookmarked.) as a frequent shortcut.

- tabs already have the HTML downloaded and visually pre-rendered. Can quickly cycle through them like flipping through tv channels. Bookmarks are only text of page titles.

I often have about 50+ tabs open and I deliberately do not want to bookmark most of them.

On the other hand, if people are using tabs exactly as they would use bookmarks, maybe that's an anti-pattern because now the web browser is consuming gigabytes of RAM for a hundred tabs that should be bookmarked and closed to save resources.
The Three Pillars of User Delight
That is a great tool. Also, I learned about perfetto the first time today, after doing Javascript profiling for a few years.
Eating less calories than losing is what makes one lose weight. This is why so many calorie-restricting diets are a success in the first few months of them.

Keeping the weight at lower levels is a different thing entirely. This is why so many calorie-restricting diets fail when people gradually abandon them.

Humans have a built-in sensor of satiety. If the sensor is signaling that they are hungry, they feel uncomfortable, and go looking for food, sooner or later. This can be suppressed by willpower, but it's taxing and distracting. This is why so many calorie-restricting diets get abandoned: the initial serving of willpower allocated to the self-restriction ends, and people want to proceed with their lives without having to fight the feeling of hunger most of the time. Between keeping a healthy weight and performing well on a demanding mental job they usually choose the latter. Whoever can lose weight on pure willpower is a hero; others can strive to emulate them, but should not assume they will be as successful.

So substances that help blunt or remove the feeling of not having eaten enough are important. Some of them are medical drugs (say, modafinil has this effect), some are household substances (like caffeine), some are real dangerously addictive drugs (like nicotine or cocaine). But there are mechanical sensors right in the stomach, which are harder to suppress with substances. This is where surgical means can and do help. Cutting a part of your stomach is now done via a very small incision in one's abdomen.

Morbid obesity is a disease, and should be treated as such. Shaming someone obese is like shaming someone with a broken leg: both painful and not helpful.
According to quick googling, this is exactly on the spot. Here's a Guardian article that talks positively about those roles and describes them in exactly the same way:

> A sensitivity reader is an additional editor [...]. This individual will conduct a very specific read of the manuscript, and offer notes on characters from marginalised groups, or elements which may cause offence.

(emphasis mine)

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/08/stop-m...

Looks like the article could've used a sensitivity reader itself, if it caused yout to get so offended you didn't read the rest of it.
Well, I do, more or less. Whether it's a waste of time or not is dependent on how efficient you can do it, in my workflow it's efficient, and to which degree you can avoid waste as a consequence of a "messier" approach. For me, it evens out.
How about when they promise you there's thousands of results, then somehow there isn't a third page of those results...
> Millions. I can't process numbers that large.

You should read about Laos then, which has the largest amount of UXOs, and specifically the consequences, and how they got there. It's infuriating.
Open-source, purple team IDE
I don't feel like this works for everyone. If I cook only for myself, and I mostly do, then it's very hard to not make more than one meal's worth. And I know most of the effort I put into that cooking will be wasted for the part I eat as leftovers. It just doesn't taste as good.
Don't get me wrong, it's not "bad" code (from a brief glance) but it's just clearly written as if it was Java code, and probably not in a usual IDE like Visual Studio, Rider or VSCode /w C# plugin (as that would typically scaffold a more C#-esque style).

Here's what I've noticed so far:

- Uses camelCase instead of PascalCase

- Uses setter and getter methods instead of C# properties.

- Uses reverse DNS namespace com.mc2k.SimCityReader instead of e.g. JGosar.MineCity2000.SimCityReader.

- Lack of LINQ (It is such a big part of C#, that not using it at all is strange).*

- Lac of using generics e.g. List<string> instead of string[].*

- Excessive use of arrays (you'd typically use a simple IEnumerable<T> or List<T>).

- Lack of `var`.*

- Casting integer literals to short, byte, etc -- these all have equivalent literal notation.*

- Lack of extension methods.*

- Lack of maps (pattern matching).*

There could be more, but those are what I noticed.

EDIT: * Given that the original code was done with VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4, its fair to say that a few of the points above do not apply, but the code is nevertheless very java-esque (just from the first two points).

When I started using emacs 15 years ago, most people did not use a text editor as such. They used specialised IDEs, an email app, a text editor, a note taking app etc. I soon realised that using a single text editor for everything that was text was great, and that also, most things are probably text. Like almost everything i do with a computer is editing text.

I think editors like VS Code and I guess Atom etc. to a lesser extend have made a lot more people aware of this and it's caused people to take a new look at emacs since it was doing the same thing decades before and arguably does it better.
Social media virality started creating juicy headlines in mainstream media.
