Pre-emptive encapsulation is a cargo-cult plague/mind-virus. Until someone actually inadvertently fiddles with chanceOfRain (ie actually fucks something up) you are just building a bureaucracy for yourself and your users. And, potentially, you are actively impeding someone who is smarter than you or just disagrees with you on how 'chance of rain' is calculated.

I deal with this kind of bs every day in a large oss C++ codebase - some style guide at Google says everything needs to by default go into an anonymous namespace and so you can't reuse anything that the original braingenius deemed useful. Of course this means very few things are actually decomposed/composable. I have lately resorted to forking and carrying patches that expose all the functionality in the anon namespaces.

Ideally, at least two pairs a day. Socks with silver-impregnated threads may help, for example Silverlight Hiking Socks. Silver is reportedly antibacterial.

Wash your insoles or replace them with fresh new antibacterial ones. Lift your insoles out of your shoes when you take them off, and air out the insoles and shoes, outdoors, in sunshine if possible.

Wash your shoes in a washing machine with laundry detergent if they're synthetic, otherwise swabbing them out with dilute acetic acid (diluted vinegar) may help. Right now, and weekly from now on.

(This question is a mild obsession for the "through hiking" crowd. Although they usually wear the same socks for a week at a time--but have separate socks and shoes for use at camp, while the hiking socks, shoes and insoles air out.)
Also maybe worth mentioning that the 2nd author of the InstantNGP paper is also a cofounder of and lead tech guy at Media Molecule, Alex Evans. I've been a huge fan of his work since 90s demoscene and briefly got to work with him at Lionhead Studios, guy's a legit genius.
Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. I meant it “increased”. You are right. I agree, it’s nothing negative and it can be a superpower.

I’d like to add to this that a negative externality that is not priced in is a classical example of market failure in economical thinking. It’s an example of capitalism failing. I’m all for free markets, they are an extremely effective way of getting some things done.but not always.

Doesn't explain why medical costs and doctor salaries in the US are the highest in the entire freaking world and the quality of care is lowest among 1st world countries.

Don't go with your inclination. Go with evidence and logic.

I do not think the problem with VB was the language.
I think it was the graphic / UI expressive power, a simple way to add and create custom components.

At the same time that both VB and Delphi reached peak usage, the web started to show how easy it is to express graphically and UI using CSS. When you have to write tons of lines of code in VB to get to the same as 3 lines of CSS...
Only the end here is questionable. The part about you can make a decent living is true, but also very not. The author is fortunate that his hobby forked out and is the kind people would pay money for.
VB was mostly for IT departments to create small custom apps without having the full software engineering skill set. This was the time when software development started to be outsourced to the 3rd world.
Most of the low level apps that were maintained in a companies IT department would have been outsourced easily. But the companies taking on these projects in the 3rd world would have used more complex development tools just to look and feel like they are doing complex work.

I do not mean to suggest there are no complex software coming out from the 3rd world. But most of the outsourced projects are simple CRUD applications

> Google sabotaged that by refusing to support YouTube on windows mobile and actively blocking Microsoft’s native app.

Microsoft sabotaged it first by not letting Google (and others) leverage the native apps they built for WM 6.5 on WP7. Having a terrible browser and not letting established browsers into the store (Mozilla was interested in porting to WP, but Microsoft rebuffed them) was sabotage too.

But that's in the past anyway. Manufacturers could have licensed WP/WM, and several did, but it's not available anymore.
The Only Career Advice You’ll Ever Need
As a junior developer who works remote, I would love to work at a place that took this approach.
SEEKING WORK | UTC+8 | Remote

Hi I'm Onno,

I'm an experienced polyglot IT professional, software developer, trouble shooter, researcher, public speaker, educator, writer and publisher, founder and small business owner, podcaster, and licensed radio amateur. I work remotely from my home-office in Perth, Western Australia, UTC+8.

My experience with data started with the Dutch equivalent of Medicare when I was an intern, trusted with access to 20 million health records, a VAX/VMS cluster and a copy of SPSS. Since then I've built and used databases in many different contexts, from dBase (and Clipper) to MySQL (and MariaDB), from Oracle to MS-SQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

I've built standalone and web-based applications and lost count of how many once-off tools I've written to convert one data-set into another. I've built visualisations in R, Tableau, QuickSight, D3.js, gnuplot and Graphviz for clients around the globe. I've created mapping systems, won several Hackathons, and most recently, in a project lasting 44 months, investigated 300,000 lines of source-code, generating several terabytes of data. I'm familiar with AWS, Linux, and Open Source, am a public speaker, have produced a popular technical podcast about amateur radio for over 12 years and have conducted about 1,800 radio interviews, most of them live to air.

Whilst actively looking for the next opportunity, I'm analysing a five billion row data-set for HF Radio propagation, building a word-cloud based search engine to tag data, revising the eBooks I've published and I'm exploring how Morse code evolved to deal with the physical phenomenon of dispersion. For self-education I've been building some M/L models to classify data.

If you're into resolving odd and complex problems, need someone with dedication and tenacity, and believe that "Social Good" is an important attribute to cultivate, get in touch!

Location: Perth, Western Australia (UTC+8)
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No

>Not sure how increasing the supply of doctors would help in this case? If doctors begin to earn way less money than they do now then that would create an incentive to find ways to make money, whereby increasing the amount of deceptive practices of pushing certain medicines/medical procedures to prop up sales and not cure diseases.

You don't increase it to the point of desperation where they resort to malpractice. You increase the supply until the cost and supply becomes inline with other 1st world countries where Doctors have reasonable salaries.

Additionally the low quality of care in the US actually comes from overwork. Doctors are inundated with patients and no amount of money can increase the productivity a single person. To do work effectively the industry actually needs more people.

The overabundance of patients is what's causing the apathy the GP is witnessing above. It's easy for a doctor to feel empathy and deliver quality care for a low number of patients. For 400 patients a day? They could give a shit. Pretty soon they become desensitized and the whole thing becomes a numbers game.
I feel differently about next.js after their latest shenanigans. Their end goal clearly seems to be vendor lock-in to the Vercel/next.js platform, whichever way it ends up happening. The current attempt looks to be to tweak and assert control over the React library, to make it Vercelified.

in one word - CSS.

CSS has killed VB.

How? when you need to build any application with custom graphics or UX, in VB you are gonna writes tons of lines of code, while using CSS you just write 2-3 declarations.

A long time ago, I worked for a company that had a cage in the 818 Pihana/Equinix datacenter in DTLA. Neopets also had a cage in this DC and they made it obvious it was Neopets which wasn't something a lot of companies did.

What I'll never forget though is that they had pink, purple, and aqua colored CAT5 cables when everyone else was using your typical blue, yellow, and red. Today it's probably not a big deal, but back then it was wasn't something you saw in any other cage, everyone stopped to take a peak, new people always asked about it, and I always thought it was super cool even if they had to crimp everything themselves.

They had a fairly sizable cage and I passed by it everyday. I never played the game, and I was having my own kids by the time I started working in the DC, but that's my tiny personal Neopets nostalgia story and anytime I come across someone who also worked at 818, they remember it too.

Once you have a community, monetization just requires a bit of creativity. If it’s an authentic community, you’ll already have deep insights into what members desires are (intellectual fullfillment, belonging, relationships, etc) and how those can be fulfilled better. It can be something as simple as status badges for donors, or something more complex like a new app or product.

Go look at the OWASP Top 10. Things like injection attacks are mostly solved problems if one writes the code properly.

So why have they been one of the top 10 worst vulnerabilities for nearly a decade? Because people don’t know about them and how they work.

Maybe we need more than two week JavaScript boot camps.
> "that’s how people will think of you."

Your comment begins with dicks, continues with a rant, and ends with villains. My opinion of you couldn't be any lower right now.

Musk admitted to reacting poorly. He apologized multiple times including in court where he turned to the diver guy and said "sorry".

As for the sub, the Thai navy kept it and were trained how to use it. They said they'd use it for future rescues. There is no evidence of Musk aiming for a PR stunt.

It was a desperate situation requiring help from any angle possible. The Australian anaesthetist said later he expected some of the boys to die. The public attack from the diver on Musk was inappropriate and came from nowhere. He apparently had an attention-seeking agenda. He later tried to sue Musk for $190 million but was awarded zero dollars. The lesson is don't publicly attack people for trying to help, then try to get rich from the return fire.
Covid-19 lockdown proved what is deemed to be an uncomfortable truth: the one and only source of negative climate effects is us. 8 billion people is too much for that planet to handle. In 1900 there was around 1,000,000,000 and it was already too much.

We are among the most populous mammals on earth.

So you’re judging other people’s reactions to the event? I don’t think we should do that. It doesn’t make you right. People are going to have diverse ways of responding and processing it. We should be tolerant and accepting of that.

What we should not be tolerant of is people who judge other people first, and try and make them wrong. I think you can express your own feelings on this, without imposing on others like that.

It’s important to have clarity about how you feel, including what you feel about other people’s reactions, and accept it. When you observe yourself reacting to someone else’s response, rather than making it about them being wrong and judging them, focus on how you feel, and ask yourself why you feel that way.

I am saying you are completely wrong. The article is spot on on the failure of the doctors here.
Since the app gives you the words to say, and translates those back to coordinates on the receiving end, in theory they could alter the word list, at the cost of making any written-down version obsolete.

Ha! I remember a somewhat similar issue with the Arduino Nano where one pin was erroneously marked as PWM and one not. A customer had designed electric motor drivers controlled by a socketed Nano and I was tasked with writing software for it. They never looked at the actual ATmega pinouts but used the one available on various hobbyist sites all over the net. I ended up cutting traces and soldering jumper wires on the first batch of devices.
If you need to ensure that other developers do something, you need to make it a CI rule and make sure it fails if it's not done.

Death by a Thousand Microservices
There are a number of word lists whose words were picked due to their beneficial properties given the use-case of possibly needing to be understood verbally over unclear connections. The NATO phonetic alphabet, and PGP word lists come to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGP_word_list

I'm particularly a fan of the PGP word list (it would definitely require more than 3 words for this purpose, though) because it has built-in error detection (of transposition, insertion or deletion): Separate word lists are used for "even" and "odd" hex digits. This makes it, IMHO, fairly ideal for use over verbal channels. From the wiki: "The words were carefully chosen for their phonetic distinctiveness, using genetic algorithms to select lists of words that had optimum separations in phoneme space"

It sounds like the w3w folks did not do any such thing

EDIT: According to my napkin math, 6 PGP words should be enough to cover the 64 trillion coordinates that "what3words" covers, but with way better properties such as error detection and phonetic incongruity (and not only that, it is just over 4 times larger, which means it can achieve a resolution of 5 feet instead of 10)

This doesn't match my experience, if anything the other way around.

CSS back then was a lot harder than it is now. There's still memes around this, but even something as common as centering an item with CSS was not trivial at all. Now we have flex and it's easy, but back then it was very much not.

VB didn't work on the same paradigm - it was a more WYSIWYG environment. You drew a button on the form, set some properties in the sidepanel, and that's that. Notably there are zero lines of code involved in this, so the whole "you have to write tons of lines of code in VB" is simply not true. Possibly you're thinking of its successor, XAML, for which this is true.

"Tightly integrated" can mean "We designed A and B to fit together well. We built them side by side and tested them together" That's perfectly acceptable and can make a fair direct case to the customer.

What's not:

* Not allowing controls to manage integrations. Maybe I want to connect A to C, D, or Q instead, or not allow a connection at all.

* Accidentally-on-purpose clobbering customer choices (ooh, whoops, we reset all your file associations for the sixth time this year, perhaps now you'll stop changing them).

* Using undocumented APIs or similar gimmicks to ensure a competitive product will be inherently hamstrung.

* Pretending a seperate product is an indivisible component of the whole. I'm sure there are a bunch of places where Edge could be pulled out in favour of an external help-file/PDF/etc viewer.
My understanding is that the target audience for VB.net was happy enough with C# instead, so it was a product without much of a user base.
This is summed up nicely with the XY problem.

A flake is a function, right? Invoking `nix build` resolves its inputs and computes its outputs. So if the static site is the output, wouldn't the content have to be one of the inputs?

Personally, I think I'd use two flakes, one that builds the content into something that's ready to hand-off to code, and a second one that turns it into a usable site. That way you wouldn't end up with a new input for each post, but instead would have a versioned something which represents your content all bundled together, and then the site builder consumes it as a single dependency--but conceptually it's the same.

I guess I'm just saying that it's not conventional, but it's a pretty logical conclusion to reach.
Most companies I've worked at don't give two shits about backend complexity, let alone owasp level security. They'd buy some compliance tool and be done.

This industry doesn't care too much about quality.

I hadn’t seen wuffs before. Interesting approach to writing safe libraries:

Wuffs is not a general purpose programming language. It is for writing libraries, not programs. Wuffs code is hermetic and can only compute (e.g. convert "compressed bytes" to "decompressed bytes"). It cannot make any syscalls (e.g. it has no ambient authority to read your files), implying that it cannot allocate or free memory (and is therefore trivially safe against things like memory leaks, use-after-frees and double-frees).
