That's success. Clock-watching is failure. No different than non-trivial amounts of overtime is failure.
That's success in a business sense, perhaps. However, I value success in a family sense. When I leave on time, I get to sit down a bit, then cook for my family. They value this greatly. I've had discussions with a manager, where he would say I'm not a team player. When in actuality, I'm a teamplayer just not for the company profit.
I've worked at a national institute in Europe and worked on software for reading out infrared cameras for space-observing satellites. Everywhere around me, both scientists and engineers, were replacing (or trying to replace) Matlab and other commercial software with Python. There were some Fortran holdouts, but these were also migrating to Python. Software engineers used C++ for the core, but these were little nuggets that shoved data from custom electronics to ethernet, and then Python would pick up the packets.
For some specific stuff, especially electronics engineers were not replacing Matlab. For instance to model electromotors. Mechanical engineers likewise. I never knew what they were using, but open source was not used anywhere at our institute. But the rest: Python, NumPy and SciPy.
That goes both ways, actually. When my ~15 year relationship broke up, I got into dating again. I'm a man, and the women I was dating were aged 35-42, and regularly viewing a potential partner as their last chance to have children. Whenever it got to sex (which is not often because I'm no ladies' man), I made super double sure to wear a condom, even though she said she'd be on contraception.
And in my (European) country, you can bet your ass you will pay through the nose for a child that you didn't choose.
I had this, and turns out there's an incredibly simple solution: generate an app password on https://myaccount.google.com/ (under security). Then in macOS, delete the account in System Preferences and recreate it as a regular IMAP account.
I'm not sure it works for the calendar and contacts stuff, but it sure works for mail.

Hey everybody, I think this is a fake post, or a joke. Obviously, when the internet connection is unexpectedly broken, the post ends with "NO CARRIER".
I'm an app developer and years ago, started with an app in the App Store and included one of those free analytics libraries. It's quite useful, you get the crash reports coming in as they occur in the field. At some point, I was very proud to have solved nearly all crashes.
Then I felt like people needed to be able to opt out. So I built a screen with a simple checkmark, and looked at their API to turn off data collection. Turns out, it's not there. To opt out as a user you needed to go to a web page, and fill in your email adres. I thought to myself, what? What the fucking what? How can you relate crash reports with an email address? Then I realized that's what free means. I should never have started with it.
Note: this was in 2012/2013, and as a starting iOS developer, I was pretty naive. First of all I should've built my own light weight crash reporter. Second of all, it should've been opt-in.
I've tried Localytics, Crashlytics and Flurry. They all have severe privacy problems in my opinion. I have simply removed them from my app, because I kept feeling bad for my users.
Homebrew was already a very nice way to install GNU and other open source stuff. But Cask is an extension that scripts the installation of packaged software: https://caskroom.io/
Plus, if you install the mas command-line utility to install App Store stuff, this makes it easy to completely script the installation of a Mac. The following shell script installs a fresh new Mac for me:
The great thing about Roombas though, is that there's a fantastic community around it. Very easy to order third-party replacement stuff, and even 3D printed parts for cheap.
I just read on The Verge that iRobot, makers of the Roomba, have created a lawnmower version. I'm wondering if someone's pet is going to be ground to a pulp by that ilttle murderous lawnmower robot.
I can attest to this. In high school, we got a couple of lessons in throwing javelins. The protocol was not well established, because a girl threw a javelin when someone else went to pick up theirs. Although the javelins were blunted, it got stuck in the calve muscles of their left leg. The wound was cleaned and the "victim" appeared in class again after a couple of days. This was over a distance of, say, ten meters (32 feet).
Indeed, the game is about digging and finding lodes (veins of ore). Though I have to admit, I can't remember it having a real relation to the game itself.
You'd make your character dig holes in front of him, so as to either thwart the bad guys, or to jump in the hole and escape them. But to my knowledge, you wouldn't collect any ore.
I don't understand how people get so much email. I get maybe 5, maximum 10 private emails per day. At work (or rather at my client because I'm a subcontractor), it's different. One clients did communication at our Scrum stand-up meeting. If I was in the CC for email, I archived it immediately (skipping my inbox). My current client uses Slack, but again, not more than maybe 5 messages per day.
As a colleague said, my job is software development, not email.
What I didn't expect from "Today's Tech", is that we'd have self-driving cars. My child is in pre-school right now. There's a good change they might be able to get there driver's license, but that there'll be hardly any need to use it.
Thanks for clarifying that! Apparently this competition is working well, because what comes out of the French hosting business is quite frankly amazing.
How it would compare, I don't know. It's quite hard to compare these ARM thingies. I mean, four cores yes, but what is their performance? I have no idea how to compare those with Intel stuff, and not really a need either... I just picked the cheapest because my needs are not demanding.
By the way, that's a very interesting VPS. It would indeed be great for backups, or OwnCloud/NextCloud or what have you.

most clear signal of any species in terms of offering of peace is to give food. That's why you shouldn't refuse offers of dinner
Except when they're Ferengi.
How do you deal with audio, though? Are there actually monitors with good speakers?

concurrent compilation in the ORC JIT API
Finally. For years, we've had ELFs in our binaries and I'm very happy that ORCs now have their own API.

I, for one, welcome them.
They will make mountains out of mole hills!

I expect an arms race between the robots and the moles.

Thanks for an excellent explanation, very helpful.

How do you feel about the TouchBar on the more recent Apple MacBook Pros?
