The eternal cognitohazard of discussing crypto online is that you are dealing with deeply invested people without any guarantee that they understand finance in general.
Because your are not viewing those 100k lines at once ever. Taking that into consideration, enormous optimizations are possible.
The solution is very simple. Lock your versions in package.json. Everyone stays happy. The only thing to keep track is, is what version of NodeJS you are using. It will happily keep working for years!

Do I get a super long list of deprecated and warning messages? Yes, they are also meaningless. You can ignore them and just build the feature.

GHB, a (gay) chemsex staple. It comes in the form of drops you put into water, which makes it easy to overdose. Makes your genitals burn in a good way and makes you want to use them extensively. Naturally, like any drug that provides pleasures beyond our comprehension, it‘s addictive and neurotoxic.

I only did chemsex a few times and long ago, but boy do those memories stick (in a good way, besides the STD).
An opinion usually includes who it is for. Some of these examples do not clearly define who the product is for, but the point gets across.

For example many creator or developer tools are created by the very people who want to be using them. They are opinionated by design because these people have an opinion on how they prefer to work with them.

This also creates a unique value proposition in the expert space given that you'd trust a tool created "by" your profession rather than a tool created "for" your profession.
I think a lot of people just lack the ability to analyze their own mind and a lot of therapy is oriented towards that. Personally I think I'm rather good at analyzing my own thoughts and feelings and so I find exercises like this pretty useless and silly.

Like "who knew you could feel more than one emotion at a time?"... people don't know this? Hell, a lot of the time I feel entirely contradictory emotions simultaneously, it's incredibly common.

During a session recently my therapist said something like "that sounds like depression" and I responded "yes, that's kinda my default state. Labeling it doesn't make it go away and just because these thoughts come from a place of depression doesn't mean they are wrong" and she seemed a bit confused as to how to proceed from there, like just pointing it out is enough for most people or something.
on a project about a decade ago I had written some ruby code in a non-rubyish manner (non-rubic?) in that I had written if statements.

I had actually decided to write them as if statements because that way I didn't have to make one particular logical check (I can't really remember what the logic was, just that it had to do with language and Swedish language legal documents did not have a particular rule that Danish ones did.

So a senior Ruby dev who admittedly was a lot better than me in a lot of things but did have the habit of making incredibly boneheaded bugs sometimes, went through and rewrote all my if statements as unless statements - inadvertently reversing the logic.

A week later bug comes up I get blamed because it was the thing I worked on I was embarrassed, and I went through the code fixing but then I thought - wait I wouldn't have written this as an unless because I need to do one extra statement that way! After digging through I caught our senior dev, the very guy blaming me for causing bugs.

Ah the revenges of youth are very sweet.
> The most obvious change in American politics this century is the sorting of voters along educational lines. [..] Voters with impressive educational credentials tend to be Democrats, and those without them lean strongly Republican.

This is overstating it. Among white voters, college graduates preferred not just Republicans, but Trump, by a 4% margin (and by 14% in 2012) [1]. The sorting along racial lines seems the more obvious one.

Given things such as the (attempted) explicitly racially discriminatory prioritizing of funding by the Biden administration [2], can we really be surprised?

My company used Rackspace back in 2013. It was my first gig where I was "managing servers" and "deploying to production". The rest of the team was as inexperienced as I was.

We paid extra for the support services that entitled us to unlimited 24/7 human support. Whenever I was stuck on an issue with deploying, scaling, crashing etc. my boss would say "try calling support." Initially you'd get a first-line operator but I learned quickly to "escalate to a sysadmin".

The sysadmin was eager to help and would log into your VPS and do anything you'd ask, plus advise and implement on stuff they thought you'd need! Debug your running app and code? Sure. Fix broken packages or get something to compile? Of course. Custom scaling and deployment scripts in bash? Gladly. Some reps were more helpful than others and I got to know them on a first-name basis.

In hindsight it seems totally absurd to have a phone support running bash on our VPS but it was super helpful at the time. I learned a lot and they saved my bacon a few times. I can only imagine the liability issues.
High performance and no overhead! In a test I did, the performance gain was greater than 600%.
Depends on how you define 'cost'. Much as I really wish I could travel by train, 1) there's relatively limited number of places you can go on Amtrack unless you're in the Northeast. 2) Even when served, the path between A and B is often 'non-optimal'. For example, to get from Atlanta to Denver, I have to either go hundreds of miles out of the way looping through New Jersey and Chicago, or South through New Orleans only to have to get on a bus north in El Paso, which means 3) every trip takes far longer than the alternatives. Even if A and B are on the same line. For example, Atlanta to New Orleans is more than
12 hours by train, but I can drive there in less than 8 and fly there in 1.

Amtrak is ok for a leisurely vacation stroll across the country; it's not an alternative for regular business travel.
Wut? Tell me where savings accounts have rates that exceed inflation.
> You actually pay attention to how you’re feeling

I see, so it's similar to the mindfulness concept taught in Gestalt therapy? I guess that's why I don't like it - paying attention to how I'm feeling doesn't really change the way I'm feeling, which frustrates me, because I'm expecting it to affect my feelings, when in reality... it just makes me more conscious, and things stay as bad as they were before.

Assuming it's not supposed to change how you feel (directly) - what is the purpose of being conscious of how you feel?

PeerTube is basically developed by a single guy and has solved the infrastructure problem that many organizations have when wanting to host videos. Any organization can now host VoDs and live events on their own server(s) without being bled to death by the hosting provider since the badwidth will be shared among the concurrent viewers.

This is such an underappreciated piece of technology that I hope many intitutions will adopt, at least as a backup against using the usual Youtube/Facebook/Vimeo/Twitter/Instagram as content hosts

The spirit of kindness is in the guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate.

You are incorrect. The judge's ruling is exceedingly narrow and does not qualify Mats to call himself an engineer in any area other than publicly commenting on traffic light timing. Mats cannot call himself an engineer for the purposes of any other subject, including electrical enginnering, for which he is trained, until he acquires the PE designation.

Don't you find it odd that you're willing to distinguish .NET as a concept from e.g. a language like C#, but when it comes to what is, in reality, the NodeJS ecosystem that you have an issue with, you pin it broadly on what you call "javascript" (also a language)?

> There's no such thing as "LTS" in javascript.

In fact, there is. The language is stable—it's at least as backwards compatible as C# (if not moreso). There are even very stable platform APIs available outside the language core, e.g. the non-experimental stuff that the WHATWG/W3C standardizes. What you're doing though is opting for an opinionated, incompatible, vendor-specific fork (NodeJS), then experiencing the ensuing pain that comes with that decision.

Maybe if you like the stability of .NET and you find yourself having to use JS, you should rally for a JS-for-.NET cause instead of tacitly feeding the ongoing JS-with-NodeJS hegemony even though it keeps hurting you.
Ha! No. Native compilation just snuck in a little while ago. SIMD will take... longer.

I too have been surprised by the poor state of research compute at American universities. Of course it's hard: that's why it needs some smart and expensive people who do research on computing to run it (but that's what universities are all about). But maybe it's a cultural thing: in the US organizations including universities like to rely on commercial services when they can instead of seeing the value of doing it in-house.
If you can get to a public library, these often (though of course not always) can and will go to heroic lengths to help people with device and service issues. They may also be able to help with charging problems.

Repair shops should also have some capacity to help as others have noted.

I'd also open a consumer-rights issue with your state's consumer-affairs agency, usually the state attorney general or equivalent office. For Washington State:

<https://www.atg.wa.gov/consumer-protection>

(This tends to be oriented toward utilities and comms providers though it addresses general concerns as well.)

Washington State's AG specifically notes:

The division’s Consumer Resource Center provides an informal complaint resolution service. The informal complaint resolution process includes notifying businesses of written complaints and facilitating communication between the consumer and the business to assist in resolving the complaint.

Otherwise, this is a major and escalating problem. The present privately-operated, corporate, for-profit systems we have come to rely on address the problem quite poorly. It's bad enough for techbros and the generally affluent. It's literally life-or-death for the poor, indigent, and handicapped.

I'd like to see organisations such as the EFF, mental health and social welfare organisations, the AARP, and others, put this issue on their priority lists. Ultimately we're going to need some sort of legislation to address the question.

Good luck, Doreen.
Russian pseudoscience has fuelled the bloodshed in Ukraine
NIF was never intended to produce net power output. It's a research facility. The latest result is a major milestone demonstrating that net energy gain is achievable. LLNL, and other labs, are developing diode-pumped laser systems which are closer to 25% efficient, rather than 1%, and can operate at the high repetition rate required for power production.

That means the reaction would only need a gain of 4, rather than 100, to generate net power.
> And what's the point of that, if it doesn't help?

It does directly help some people and even more people realise how they are feeling and do something about it once previously subconscious knowledge is conscious.
Thank you, that's just what I was looking for!
This isn't exactly true. It's a syntax error to put a return anywhere where the grammar expects a value expression, because it's one of few constructs in Ruby that doesn't return a value (contrast with e.g. "if" and "def" and "class", all of which return a value).

E.g. "42 == (return true)" is a syntax error while "42 == if false; true; end" is syntactically valid.

You can return in the expression in the comment above because the return is at statement level - nothing above it in the grammar requires a value (but obviously allows it).

Off the top of my head I can't remember which other keywords fall in that category. Obviously "end", "then", "alias" and there'll be a few more, but for most keywords in Ruby you're right they can be treated as expressions.

Secretary Granholm to announce major scientific breakthrough by DOE [video]
Why would you react to a new-to-you idea put forth by well-respected people with a good reputation, by rushing to announce that you don't understand it and disrespect people who do? Is that a good way to "hope there is some crucial factor that I don't understand yet, and that someone will explain it to me in a reply."?

When someone posts a comment about physics or math that you don't understand, do you also think "Otherwise, seeing the overwhelmingly positive reaction to such bullsh-t makes me feel like this whole place is fake." ?

"When you are surrounded by jerks, maybe you are the jerk".

Ironically, the behavior
or you exhibit -- lashing out and being upset and not having an awareness of why -- is the issue the OP in addressing.
Can someone explain the 1 << stuff? I’m very new to bit fiddling but I did follow the blog.

“ fn run(s: &[char], window_size: usize) -> usize {
let mut set = 0u32;
for i in 0..s.len() {
// Turn on bits as they enter the window
set ^= 1 << (s[i] as u32 - 'a' as u32);

// Turn off bits as they leave the window
if i >= window_size {
set ^= 1 << (s[i - window_size] as u32 - 'a' as u32);
}

// Check the current window and see if we're done
if set.count_ones() as usize == window_size {
return i + 1;
}
}

What does "incorporated against" mean?
Oooo good counter point. That is definitely the case. It makes for a fun challenge to take that on. If you're not funded though that can be a risk that is too dangerous.

It clearly is not. Whatever it was supposed to be, or might have been in the past JS is not a scripting language.

The one thing I dislike about jq is that it treats many-things and one-thing the same way. This PL design choice is IMO fraught with peril. Its the reason why jq can't have a "slurp" filter. Treating many-things the same way means there is no first-class representation of a json stream, which in turn means there are no functions that can operate on a JSON stream as a whole.

If JQ had first-class streams, most code would've looked quite pedestrian. Everything that operates on many values would need some kind of `map`, there would also be `reduce` as a normal filter, as well as slurp - and the overal weirdness of programs would significantly decrease - the code would look exactly like normal functional programming pipelines.
That's what would happen if this is done in some small market, like let's say Qatar. With large markets the situation is rather different, since it is so essential for the companies to sell in these markets. Do you think Apple would no longer sell iPhones because of the USB C law or right to repair laws?
Also, some of these laws are aimed at the externalities caused by these corporations, such as e-waste and computing disenfranchisement (well, at least partly). I am not generally supportive of governement regulation as solutions to our problems, but when the adversaries are as resourceful as Apple or Microsoft, the tradeoffs are different and we have no other way to realisticallt fix these issues.
I love the idea of PeerTube and often browse videos on tilvids (a fairly curated instance).

However, lately I've been wishing for a tool where lectures could be hosted that has nice searchable transcripts, allows people have have comments and discussion based on the time. Something kinda like Loom but more oriented around making lectures annotateable by students for referring to later.

Godot is pretty good, I wish I had more time to spend with it. DragonRuby reminds me of RubyMotion, the magical framework to write cross-platform apps that was also hopelessly disappointing and over-hyped. A complete waste of my money.

And then I went to check out the DragonRuby and RubyMotion websites and it turns out that DragonRuby IS RubyMotion.

Kudos to the team for building something clever but I'm not falling for that one again.
Why?

From your comment I get that you haven't checked into peertube in a while.

There is tilvids.com that is slowly becoming the premier high quality peertube instance that is taking baby steps into being an educational instance. They will gladly host any creator if they align with their goals.

Besides, if a cooking creator wants to roll their own instance, invite other cooking creators to join in, tilvids.com would gladly peer with them.

The point is, tilvids.com is showing how you can build a good community outside of YouTube. A good step

I'm from Argentina. We drink mate all the time. I never heard of (or experienced) teeth pigmentation issues caused by Yerba Mate. (yeah, I know it's a data point of one, but given the popularity and tradition of mate in the region, I think I'll hear about it if it's a common issue).

Assuming you are in the US. I notice that US products containing Yerba Mate (like tea bags or drinks) are heavily industrialized and have many other things besides Mate. I'll not discard the possibility of a problem caused by combining Yerba Mate with other chemicals.

Other than that is not different from coffee: drinking too much coffee without proper dental hygiene also affects teeth pigmentation.

The article doesn't say that the company bricked all the devices. It's that when the devices break, the company isn't offering to fix them.
You're not wrong. It's a cost-benefits analysis conclusion for me. For example: taking my own life was in the cards before medication and therapy. The current status quo is much better; not just for the reason in the previous sentence. I now work through the problems in my life in the order in which they cause more problems, and it benefits me in lots of little ways.

It's relevant to the discussion that I think the notion that everyone needs therapy and medication is absurd. I continue to see a therapist as a barrier put into place to make sure I don't move in a negative direction regarding the more serious personal issues (and take appropriate/healthy actions when a significant problem arises).
And what about customers?
Yeah, I think this would work better if they usually work as a group but sometimes someone takes a break.

Sometimes it does help, but, imo, the point of mindfulness is not to be happy, it's in the definition itself: to simply be more aware. I don't feel happy when I'm aware of my misery, I just am aware I'm miserable.

That awareness can often lead me to a solution because I wasn't even aware of the problem until I sought awareness. I'll be kicking around the house pissed off, not even aware of it, and then do a dumb mindfullness activity, and thus the annoyance is brought full into my conscious attention, "oh right I'm pissed off right now. Why? Shit, I forgot to eat breakfast, I'm hungry." or "I didn't walk today, that probably isn't helping," or, "I'm stressed about the three tickets I gotta get done, lemme just write them out as a TODO to at least externalize the stress." And then I can feel a bit better.

Or, not, I'll be like "I'm too pissed off to even think about why I'm pissed off." At least I'm not a slave to my emotions then, which is an important value to me: control. Even if I'm going to be angry or sad or whatever regardless, I like the additional awareness.
