To a large degree the language didn't change (some of the undefined behaviours we are discussing were in C89), rather the compiler vendors started to enforce parts of it.

I don't have time to make a screencast but, I don't see a huge difference between VIM/Emacs to be honest. Most devs seem to like Emacs more for the easy complexity I suppose.<p>For modern development I wouldn't compare vim (a text editor) to Eclipse (an IDE). I'd say learn vim if you think you might ever find yourself in a shell needing to do things. No Xwindows and maybe not even emacs. I personally use vim for everything I do but, that's because I've used it for 21 years now. The second reason is I develop by always taking the easiest path (kiss theory) and generally don't need an IDE for most things. The third reason is that I started developing carpel tunnel in my right hand using the mouse and decided to not use a mouse as much as possible.

One of my favorite, subtle parts of the series is that the prisoner escape Arya engineered for Robett Glover and his men, was actually already planned. Glover had struck a deal with Vargo Hoat to release them once they were in prison to take over Harrenhal. Which means, once again Arya wasted her wish.<p>Further analysis here: <a href="https://racefortheironthrone.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/chapter-by-chapter-analysis-arya-ix/" rel="nofollow">https://racefortheironthrone.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/chapte...</a>

It depends on the elasticity of the commodity. Going to one of those contrived economics examples:<p>let's say you have 5 people who have the following amount available to spend on TVs:<p>$100<p>$80<p>$50<p>$30<p>$10<p>And you have 5 TVs to sell. What price do you sell them for?
If you price them at $100, you sell 1x$100 and make $100<p>If you price them at $80, you sell 2x$80 and make $160<p>If you price them at $50, you sell 3x$50 and make $150<p>At this point you see a trend - you should price your TVs at $80 and just eat the loss on the three TVs you don't sell.<p>So now we have a society in with 40% of people have a TV and 60% don't. As a government, you want 100% of people to have a TV, so you intervene to try to fix it.<p>First, you double everyone's income.<p>That doesn't change anything. The new price for TVs is $160 and two people get TVs.<p>So instead, you give everyone $50.<p>If you price them at $150, you sell 1x$150 and make $150<p>If you price them at $130, you sell 2x$130 and make $260<p>If you price them at $100, you sell 3x$100 and make $300<p>If you price them at $80, you sell 4x$80 and make $320<p>If you price them at $60, you sell 5x$60 and make $300<p>So now 80% of society gets a TV. Better! Sure, you haven't eliminated inequality, but you've reduced it.<p>But let's say it isn't TVs, it's houses. And you have three of them, not five.<p>Everyone needs a house. So you'll bid as much money as you have to to beat the next guy trying to get one.
So the first house will go for $80 to the person with $100.
The next house will go for $50 to the person with $80
The final house will go for $30 to the person with $50.<p>If you double everyone's income? Nothing changes. We've already seen that doubling people's income does nothing.<p>If you give everyone an extra $50? The distribution ends up the same, except everyone pays an extra $50 for each house.<p>TL;DR: inelastic goods like real estate will just go up in price. Elastic goods like electronics will, but less than the amount of the wealth transfer. The most important thing is to change the wealth ratio rather than the gross amount.

Very little of this is responsive to what I wrote earlier. I think the problem here is that you're unconsciously building a whole lot of hindsight into your analysis. You know now that very little damage was done to Trib Corp (or whoever). But at the time, <i>that was not known</i>. It took a very expensive investigation to resolve those questions. The cost of that investigation should be borne by the people whose actions necessitated it.<p>I suppose there's a completely coherent argument to be made that anything you do with a computer to someone else's computer that doesn't cause physical, kinetic damage shouldn't be a crime. I'm unlikely to agree with that argument, though, so while it's good to know that that's what you think, we're probably at diminishing returns on this thread.

There's a number of different certifications a nurse might have, so it's tough to say without knowing if that's for RN/LPN/CNA. $25/hour is ~$50k per year before overtime. But that does sound low compared to some other salaries I've seen in other areas. I think around here it's more like $40+/hr for an RN.

I think it's more nuanced than that. You must be strict in what you emit, but can be liberal in what you accept. That liberalness can go too far though, and should not make parsing brittle, or encourage misuse of the spec. It's there more to allow someone's <i>unambiguous</i> mistakes to still parse.<p>- Accidentally left in a final comma on a list? That's okay, that only means one thing, we understand.<p>- Allow non-quoted keys on objects? Well, we understand JavaScript generally allows this, so we'll let it slide. This time.<p>- Make newline significant and define new items? Okay, are we just ignoring space efficient payloads now? Should making it space efficient mean changing formats from Hjson to json?<p>- Considering all terms in place of a object value a string until a newline? Are you just trolling me now? How is that more human readable? Does your spoken language not use quotes to distinguish distinct chunks of communication or something, and if so, does it use a Latin alphabet so it's off-putting when you see them?<p>Needless to say, I'm really confused by the reason this even exists.

At the moment it is just hash based, which actually remedied most of my immediate problem. (I have 8 drives in my workstation. Many of them are donors from computers long gone. [Portions of] my image library have just been copied around many times without much rhyme or reason. Now it's centralized and properly backed up.)<p>I did think about comparing images by similarity but ultimately tabled it for a later evening because:<p>- I quickly realized I had a lot of reading to do<p>- Resolving "similar images" conflicts is a fuzzier, more time intensive process since: (a) maybe the comparison is just plain wrong?, (b) maybe it's not strictly a worse crop, but rather two common aspect ratios which you'd like to keep, (c) maybe it's not actually "watermark" text but rather it's a meme or image macro, etc.<p>- Personally: my real problem with images of varying sizes is that I download thumbnails by mistake. That's just PEBKAC and no amount of software can fix that.<p>(Now that I think about it: it might be nice to have a script which iterates over low resolution images and tries to find a large resolution version w/ Google Image Search.)

Those players, with the exception of Michael Jordan who is an exception to almost all NBA players ever, are forwards or shooting guards. Their job is not to assist, it is to shoot.<p>That said, basketball is more mobile now than it every was and passing plays such as the pick and roll are an essential part of any team's arsenal. A good player will assist his teammates as well as shoot. On the other hand, it's really not fair to pick out these players as good or bad since their circumstances have all varied. LeBron James played on teams with Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ron Artest, Kevin Love and other excellent players. Kobe Bryant played with Shaquille O'Neil; Michael Jordan with Scott Pippen and so on. It's easy to pass when the players around you are also capable of scoring. I honestly can't think of a great shooter who's played with Carmelo Anthony. That could be because he's a ball hog and they never get to shoot and are thus forgotten, it could also be that he's the only good shooter and a centerpiece of their team.

I'm a little dubious of the speed advantage to be honest. Sure compile time is important, and C++ is pretty bad on this front, but you don't need to try that hard to do better.<p>And no, I don't think sum types would slow the compiler down much, especially if they were limited to a special case for error handling (which seems more in line with the rest of Go).

That probably works well in Denmark, but I think it would be confusing with the morass of federal/state/local governments in the US.<p>A deduction on your Federal taxes wouldn't necessarily affect the tax money collected by the local or state government, which is usually the one responsible for building various roads. State and local governments may or may not even collect income taxes (some do, some don't).

It's not that you have the right to go back. Rather, by failing to change the locks they might have some liability if you did go back.<p><i>If a lessor or landlord in Illinois does not change or rekey the unit's lock before the day the new tenant or lessee takes possession, and a THEFT occurs at that dwelling unit that is attributable to the lessor's failure to change or rekey the lock, the landlord is liable for any damages from the theft that occurs as a result of the lessor's failure to comply with the law</i>

I thank you for your kind and very welcome advice.<p>These are great questions - I think I probably have trouble locating more junior dev opportunities.<p>I always do research on the history of a company but because of turnover it doesn't score me any piñatas to know where they started if the interviewer can't engage with the stuff I'm mentioning. :(

The second sentence in the first paragraph suggests they are actively performing some form of tracking.<p>> Today, we’re excited to report that more than 500,000 developers actively use VS Code each month.<p>I've come to expect Microsoft is just going to do that, and it needs to be accepted if you want to use their stuff. Fighting against it is a recipe for a headache. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this editor is great for Typescript and that's my passion.<p>A competitor should show up in this space and make me even happier.

Problem: Today, people spend hours searching for sustainable products and services. They end up browsing through apps, blogs and online reviews. Existing services such as Yelp and Google Maps offer little guidance and users end up with information overload.<p>We started Sure to make this process easier. Interviewing our target users validated our key assumption: finding sustainable options should be as easy as finding the closest McDonalds. The market in Europe alone is 56.8M, and with more than 75% willing to pay more for sustainable goods, the need we’re meeting is both prominent and growing.<p>Solution: Sure is a Facebook Messenger chatbot for finding and buying sustainable products and services. Powered by human assisted AI and using data capture and machine learning, Sure provides personalised recommendations for sustainable consumption curated from a crowdsourced database.<p>Why YCF: In March, our MVP had a monthly growth rate of 64% and with F8 earlier this week, we’ve tripled our number of active users and received over 1,500 messages just in 1 day. As The Guardian put it, Sure is one of the earliest chatbots on Messenger that actually manages to achieve the conversational UI but we need to expand to other cities and add product lines fast enough to keep up with the demand.<p>We would love to hear your feedback here and will be happy to answer any questions. Before that, go ahead and try Sure at m.me/besure.io<p><a href="http://besure.io/" rel="nofollow">http://besure.io/</a><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/13/facebook-army-chatbots-messenger-news-sports" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/13/facebook-...</a>

But I am talking about the story, not the universe. There is no main character to a universe.<p>But I'm not understanding how I'm arguing against my own point, could you elaborate?<p>I'm saying that the chart is an indication of a popularity contest as defined by the rules of the chart. But the rules of the chart does not necessarily follow the rules defined by the story.<p>As for the events that I'm saying the characters don't recall the same as it happened, that's my point that the character did not have that much impact to the overall story because their involvement is forgotten or has been deemed unimportant by the other characters. Therefore, Tyrion's impact has been negligible to the story overall. For the most part, almost all the characters have had very little impact to the story overall; which I find really interesting. They have significant moments that's a huge impact to the characters individually, but may not have much significance to the story as a whole.<p>So far I would say that Littlefinger is the closest to a main character we have with this type of thing in mind. Simply because he has influenced almost everything that has happened so far in some way.<p>Almost all the deaths in the story have had an effect on readers simply because almost all the characters have the same weight (or whatever term) as any other despite their position in the perceived power structure. The story taught us very early that no one is safe, therefore there is no easy choice to be made as to who the hero or villain of the story is. Because so far neither really exists. This is one of the many reasons I find this story so interesting, it doesn't read as your typical hero-vs-villain fantasy story where you can guess the outcome before the end of the second act.

There was also that BES service Data Locking corp (a.k.a. BeStealth) hosted in Costa Rica that shilled it's "unbreakable encryption" to crime groups which the FBI remotely broke into and snatched all the keys.<p>Another way into BES is of course via stupidity, such as Nicola Nero the crime boss police caught a few years ago in Ontario who had written his password on a memo and left it beside his BlackBerry phone because he kept forgetting it. They busted a global mafia ring from that one mistake.

No, it's too critical to make sure you're not wasting time with open-plan office nonsense, stack ranking nonsense, or many other other kinds of systematic dysfunction that are frequent in tech jobs.<p>If you only focus on tech details, you waste your own time and the interviewer's time.

Excellent example.<p>While I have been hoping for "JSON plus comments" to be a real and common thing for quite a while now, one of the strengths of JSON is right there on json.org. See it? A set of five simple syntax diagrams that entirely and virtually unambiguously define the json syntax.<p>It’s tough to know when to <i>stop</i> when simplifying a syntax. (For an extreme example, see Stylus, which was like Sass but so extreme that mixins and properties became ambiguous for each other.) I, too, would like to see the return of quotes for string values, for increased clarity.

The alumni who donate do so because they believe they got far more than their money's worth and they have enough money today to "pay it forward", so to speak. Because the return on investment for education is something that takes a non-deterministic amount of time to realize (both monetarily and in personal reflection), it's not coincidence that most most alumni donors do so decades after graduation.

> The thing where you can leave quotes off strings makes me nervous, especially the example where the value is HTML with its own embedded double quotes for attribute values.<p>Learn from Perl. The quote operator is your friend (and I frequently lament it's omission in Bash). You could simplify it by not using the matching enclusures ({ and }, [ and ], etc). It's easy to parse. and if you keep the quoting character somewhat rare, it's not hard to read.<p>E.g.<p><pre><code> {
"string" : "A string without inner quotes",
"quotes1" : q!A string "with" inner quotes!,
"quotes2" : q|A string "with" inner quotes|,
"quotes3" : q@A string "with" inner quotes@,
"quotes4" : qTA string "with" inner quotesT,
}
</code></pre>
Edit: To be clear, I wish JavaScript had a quote operator, and JSON started with it. :/<p>1: <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators" rel="nofollow">http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Quote-and-Quote-like-Ope...</a>

Religions and programming languages are actively practiced/believed, and change the way one thinks. Musical instruments too. Recorded music, cars, computers, booze, and system software are more consumer goods, so I guess I'm less curious in the correlations.<p>I made this out of curiosity about whether certain religions/denominations favored particular programming languages/paradigms, e.g. Do Catholics show a preference for static typing? Do members of non-Abrahamic religions seem to favor functional programming? Is Lisp only for atheists?

Well that's the thing. For a really long time I completely poured myself into programming. Like, my entire teenage years and most of my 20s. Now I am about to turn 27 and I don't really have many friends. I have never been in a serious romantic relationship. I have never left the country. I haven't really made much of an attempt at making money, so I am pretty much living check-to-check at a startup that I don't really care about anymore, but can't leave because I can't stand disappointing anyone. So I am kinda stuck. At this point, I think the only thing I am good at is just losing hours in code.

Right. They probably executed the original contract well enough, but you can't game Google to prevent <i>future</i> news stories from appearing.<p>That's the nature of the game. These companies just flood the internet with innocuous data about the client in a way that's carefully aimed at pushing "bad stuff" down in the rankings. This works for a number of reasons, but a major one is that search engines prefer recency. Searching "Kobe Bryant" today is going to find way more articles about him scoring 60 in his final game than about him being accused of sexual assault in 2003.<p>If you keep making the news for doing bad things, that same tendency works against you. It's not like these firms can make Google ignore all the articles about you that haven't been written yet. Success is predicated on the idea that you'll stop doing stupid shit after whatever initial event required the service.

Firstly, I don't use any desk. I find them distracting. My 2015 Macbook Retina Pro and two Dell U2913WM 29" monitors are suspended from the ceiling using a pulley system. This way I can perfectly adjust the pitch and yaw of the screen as well as its vertical and horizontal distance to find the optimal point.<p>For a while I also was suspending myself in order to relieve tension on my back but I found it was a bit of hassle getting in and out of the harness so instead I use a stair-stepping machine as my "chair." It keeps me active and gets the blood flowing.<p>My "keyboard": I use two ergonomic chorded keyers as these give me amazing wrist flexibility. It took me a while to adjust but now I'm averaging around 150 WPM with them. I custom built my own sensor rig so I could do gesturing with them as well - was a pain, but worth it. And since the use case is limited to me, I was able to make things easier but just having it detect a certain color blob (in this case, bright hot pink) which is the color of the coding gloves I wear. Insane accuracy with that setup. I got emacs to play nice with the gesture control too so running a macro is literally as easy as a handwave.<p>I do enjoy listening to music while I work. I have a wireless headphone setup which syncs with my EKG readout to automatically determine the kind of mood I am and what music would work best for my mental space. I don't use spotify, I've built my own streaming service which pulls from my arch media server at home so I can listen to everything in FLAC. Mostly a mix of live Grateful Dead shows from 70-74 but also remixes of bird songs, free jazz, and intelligence-boosting drone tapes.<p>I work 20 hours a day, usually from 6:30pm to 2pm. I use melanin and mugwort to regulate my sleeping cycles so although I only get around 4 hours of sleep, it's always deep REM so I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to crush code.

... so then you change it to be more safe <i>yet again.</i><p>I don't understand this attitude. Of course software isn't perfect; it's not even close, it's pretty awful. But the best thing about it: it's malleable. When things don't work, you change them to work better.

The whole point of abstractions is that you don't have to worry about as much. Generics take <i>away</i> complexity, that's the whole point.

I think what DDub is getting at is that there is no redundancy for the data received while the disk is mirrored to the new twin. For that, you'd need a mirrored pair plus a drive to yank out as the backup.

To close the GUI Emacs, you may just click the X as well.

I try my hardest to not be dogmatic, and my answer to the argument about vi having better keybindings while emacs having better extensibility is "why not both?" :) JavaScript is almost an acceptable lisp, too...

I recommend "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" by Jon Ronson. He had the opportunity to work fairly closely with one of these companies as they did some work for one of the people you likely remember making the social media crucifixion circuit a few years back for making a stupid joke at the wrong time.

Does someone have a rather subtle sense of humour, or is that a genuine mistake?! (fewer*)

This is hard to respond to. Are you a social person? Do you prefer being by yourself more often than not?<p>Are you physically active or interested in being physically active? Hiking, climbing, fighting, dancing, running, swimming, weight-lifting, soccer, kickball, ultimate, softball, cycling, bowling, tennis, etc.<p>Are you dating someone, occasionally going on dates, not dating at all? The first two can certainly occupy your time, and can help you find activities you enjoy by doing things with your dates or partner. The third, if you prefer things that way at the moment, keep it that way, otherwise maybe spend time out socially trying to meet partners (church, bar, club, sports league, etc.).<p>Solo indoors: reading, video games, TV, education (organized like an online masters program, self-guided by choosing a topic and reading/researching it).<p>Solo outdoors: Physical stuffs above, gardening.<p>Creative hobby: cooking (can be creative, or just enjoyable), painting, drawing, sculpting, wood working, metal working.<p>Hell, take up a technical skill like welding or something. There are places near me where I can learn that in the evenings, probably available in most decent sized towns. Auto-shop classes if you don't have that skillset yet and may want it.<p>Some of these things you can just try, give them a month and see if they stick.<p>Spend more time with friends or family being social. Host movie nights or game nights or barbeques. Organize the night out events.

Google's certainly at some fault here, e.g. by choosing to long-term fork Linux instead of trying to upstream their patches.<p>But my understanding is that they couldn't "just" do something like what Windows does, they don't get to boss the OEMs around in that capacity, some of the big ones effectively have their own Android forks (Samsung) or have already forked (Amazon), and if Google starts bossing them around they're just as likely to fully fork it as be brought into the fold.

I've installed w3m (through termux, which is both a terminal environment <i>and</i> apt-based installer).<p>I don't use it <i>much</i> but there are times when it's faster and cleaner than any other alternative. It often actually <i>is</i> superior to GUI presentation, <i>except</i> for the annoying tendency of text to run into the gutter.<p>I've been kicking around an idea for a FYWD browser. That might stand for Fine Young Western Dinosaurs or Fuck Your Web Design. It would offer a standard format, non-JS, uniformly presented readable Web page. Not intended for apps, but a sane set of presentation defaults for a given site.<p>Site-offered CSS would be ignored (or at best strongly deprecated). Straight-bog HTML 1 / HTML5 sites should render best. User could opt for specific stylesheets (e.g., night mode, large/small font), provided _locally_.<p>It'd be aimed at reading.<p>Something like Reader Mode on Safari or Firefox, but enabled by default.<p>(I use the latter, often intercept loading pages to hand-type in "about:reader?url=" before they fully load.)<p>Some other bits in mind as well, sort of mulling over the concept for now.<p>This codepen shows what a few basic rules can provide. Doesn't take much to make that work across a wide range of display sizes.

I strongly agree. There is a serious lack of respect of the C rules even among those who teach and this is passed onto their students. It is really hard to convince them to change ways after that.<p>A couple months ago, as a curiosity, I watched a few videos in a series on programming in C in Windows environment. The teacher was a serious programmer, but the first thing that went out the window was strict aliasing. After that assumptions of integer sizes and range started creeping in. It came apparent that the teacher knew C, but only superficially, signedness, integer promotions and usual arithmetic conversions were treated like a nuisance. If the code compiled and ran, it was good. Those videos were the first C programming experience for at least several hundred people.

A customer did this on his server once while I sat with him to add something. Since restoring the crontab from backups would have been a little inconvenient for such a small thing, I grepped the log files what commands were run by cron in what interval and had it rewritten in a few minutes.
