The trick to this is to attach a handle to the back of it. I'm using one that telescopes from the "popsockets" brand (I'm unaffiliated and have no idea how it compares with other brands). It makes it possible for me to access all parts of my screen holding it one handed. It should be a standard feature.

Are there any guidelines for what exactly this would entail?

My short term memory is falling off a cliff. What do I need to do to prevent that from getting worse? Are there any other bases I need to cover that I don't know that I'm missing?

You can premove as many moves as you want in a lichess correspondence game. I feel like you can even premove to whatever depth you want, but it has been a while since I've played.

I think this Rust complaint is just inexperience.

You wanted a Map<String, String>, and that's exactly what you should have made. A String is a convenience wrapper for storing a &str on the heap, so storing a String on the heap is redundant. The other options are for performance concerns, which you haven't mentioned any.

Lisp always sounds cool to me until someone starts talking about macros. What's it like inheriting a lisp code base, finding out its full of homemade macros like list comprehensions, and that they're not documented? Inheriting a code base is always scary, but I feel like it kicks it up a notch when your predecessors can customize the language itself. Are my fears justified?

You do realize that "vast selection of easy-to-use libraries" is the most important feature of a programming language. Right? It's up there with, "it's not hard to hire programmers for the language", which Python also benefits from.

Like, I'm partial to Haskell, but if I'm actually trying to get work done, I reach for a language with a robust ecosystem. These days I reach for Typescript, but before then, python was my go-to since it's way nicer to program with than java/c++/c/javascript.

Personally, I would love to ditch python for a language with strong types and type inference, but what is the replacement for django? Where do I find a well-designed, well-documented, battle-tested framework that I can easily hire developers for?

Currently, I think the nearest competitor is node with typescript, and I'd rather stick with python. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

I'm with you.

Haskell's Yesod framework is pretty feature competitive with rails/django, but it doesn't have 1/10th of the community.

I'd love to see Haskell gain wide popularity, but I don't think it's realistically going to happen. People generally travel the path of least resistance, and learning Haskell requires a lot of time and effort before you can be competitively productive with it. Individuals will choose to make that investment, but the masses won't unless they are forced.

I think the closest thing to what we want right now is node with typescript.

I'm not as skeptical of prolotherapy.

The idea is that it acts as an irritant which increases blood flow and other healing responses to that area. Tendons in particular are thought to heal slowly because they don't have great blood flow. This strikes me as similar to the ideas of dry-needling and platelet-rich plasma injections.

Find a newbie, stand behind them, and watch them struggle to use your program. Don't help them at all.

From a web dev perspective, I've heard a lot about React lately, so I learned it. I'm not saying it's bad, but I expected it to do a lot more.

Why did you do that, and what did you replace stock django with?

Would you be more specific as to why you prefer flask to django?

I looked at flask, and the code for views doesn't look much different. It does look like it's missing form and model validation. Do you use a library for that or do you not do that?

As a working programmer that is curious about category theory, I feel like this misses the mark completely. I watched this yesterday, and this is what I remember:

1) I will tell you why category theory is relevant to you, the working programmer.

2) Here are the 2 most important data structures that you don't use in your day job.

3) Look at how they relate in this mathy not applicable way.

4) Conclusion: lambda calculus is awesome.

What I would like to see is:

1) I will tell you why category theory is relevant to you, the working programmer.

2) Here is a realistic but simplified problem and a solution written in python that is obviously the wrong approach to solving the problem. With category theory, we know this is the wrong approach because the math is wrong (and don't go into the math).

3) Here is another example that seems like a decent approach to solving the problem. With category theory, we know this is the wrong approach because the math is wrong (and don't go into the math). Doing it our way has these benefits...

4) Conclusion: learn category theory to become a better programmer.

If you can't do that, find some other way to illustrate the concrete benefits of learning category theory. If there aren't any concrete benefits, it's like telling baseball players they should learn physics to have a better understanding of baseball.

Web development has the most innovation because it is the least entrenched. It is not hard to write a bare-bones web application that produces output that can be read on browsers everywhere.

Compare that to the difficulty of writing a cross-platform GUI framework. It's not even easy to write bindings for existing GUIs because it's hard to wrap C++ in a way that doesn't have you manually managing memory or discarding other language features and philosophies.

This is why we're seeing the Electron approach to GUI apps grow. It's easier to write bindings for chromium and feed it HTML.

Is damaging the drum dangerous, or is it a profit scheme?

How does one find a good psychiatrist?

Lucky Charms has 110 calories per 3/4ths a cup. Honey Nut Cheerios has 110 calories per 3/4ths a cup.

They both have 22g of carbs of which Lucky Charms has 10g of sugar while Cheerios has 9. Don't confuse branding with health. If your cereal doesn't taste like cardboard, it's probably bad for you.

If I could take over as the CEO of Google on Monday, I would do it in a heart beat. Whether my skills fit the job is irrelevant. You're wrongly assuming that I expect to be great at my dream job. I don't. I'd expect a learning experience. I'm sure I'd get fired eventually. I'd wipe my tears with the money I got from my golden parachute, add my years as Google's CEO to my resume, and start to campaign for other CEO jobs that I'm now "qualified" for.

Eventually, I'd become a decent CEO.

This argument assumes we can trust the auctioneer to only increase our bids fairly instead of gaming the system to maximize their profit (or at least short term profit). I don't think we live in a world where that's a reasonable assumption.

I've been using Haskell for a few months now, and quicksort has become trivial to read. Although, I agree that knowledge of other programming languages barely transfers to Haskell. I think being very different is the main factor that restrains Haskell's growth. It says a lot that Haskell's popularity grows anyway.

Your speculation is mostly right. Our brains are pretty good at automating repetitive tasks such as driving, so most drivers regularly don't pay complete attention.

The trouble is our brains primarily adapt to repeated stimuli eg driving in good conditions. Since no one spends most of their time driving narrowly avoiding accidents, that activity isn't one the brain can learn to automate ( well, maybe it's possible with a realistic driving simulator), so dangerous driving requires everyone's full attention.

Since we don't usually have advanced warning of when dangerous driving will happen, the best we can do is spend as much time as possible paying attention to road conditions.

Studies have found hands-free phones are just as dangerous. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hands-free-phones-just-as-risky-...

Most people have difficulty with it initially, but it's not difficult to make it harder. Try doing all that while rotating one leg clockwise.

I hate to see products like these promoted because the creators are making bloodmoney.

Cell phones are not dangerous because the driver was looking at his phone or playing with the buttons when he had an accident. They are dangerous because they encourage your mind to wander. Most people's brains are really not good at multitasking. (Try patting your head while rubbing your belly counterclockwise)

Anything that takes your mind away from the road when you're driving even if you can see the road is dangerous. (They found that talking to someone in a passenger seat is not as dangerous because if they notice danger and you don't, they'll inform you of the danger automatically by tensing up or whatever.)

If your brain worked like a single process cpu, it would be like setting Twitter to high priority while relegating driving your 2-ton SUV to low priority. It will work well enough most of the time, but sooner or later, you'll crash the SUV.

Don't overthink it. Most likely, they said the same thing to all the candidates they didn't hire.

From the front page of the new york times: "A federal law enforcement official said he would not be read his Miranda rights, because the authorities would be invoking the public safety exception in order to question him extensively about other potential explosive devices or accomplices and to try to gain intelligence."

Tell all the kids playing Minecraft they're not producing anything.

I just went through this. Verizon also will not let you have a smart phone without a data plan.

My search for phone service without a dataplan lead me to h20wireless prepaid. I expect my yearly phone bill to be $100 now. (I rarely call or text anyone)

Forget fender benders. Your house is now in danger of drunk drivers.

"And legalizing drugs only strengthens the cartels grip on that profit (see OPEC)." OPEC is powerful because they are an oligopoly. The current drug situation is an oligopoly because there are a limited number of people willing to risk their life and liberty to produce and sell drugs. By legalizing the production of drugs in the US, you allow honest US citizens to compete with far less risk. This will break the drug cartel's oligopoly. Whether they maintain their power depends on their ability to compete in a fairer market.
