I'll bite. I think "fanatic" is too strong a word, but I enjoy going to Disneyland, and have occasionally bought an annual pass despite living a day or two drive from Disneyland. I've also made a point to visit other Disney parks when I've been near them (Florida, Paris, Tokyo).

Fundamentally, it's fun escapism. You go spend a few days enjoying some of the same stuff you enjoyed as a kid. My wife enjoys going too, so it's something we can do together. For those of us with kids, it's a fun family activity. Walt Disney was explicit about making a place that was fun for both kids and adults when he conceived of the park. I'd say Disney has succeeded. I enjoyed going before having kids too, though. We don't take every vacation there by any means, but a couple times a year we go and have a blast.

Personally, as an engineer, I really enjoy the work of the imagineers. It's engineering and art combined to bring joy to people, which to me is a pretty pure expression of my own reasons for being an engineer. Incidentally, I started my career doing engineering for effects for live theater, and I also spent time at a company that at one time was a major robotics subcontractor for Disney parks. So there's a component that is admiration for people that do the things I do, but are the best in the world at it.

Beyond that, Disney(land/world) is unquestionably the highest-tier theme park in terms of quality. Everything is just top notch: customer service, theming, ride quality, immersion, cleanliness, etc. So, if the question is why Disneyland instead of Six Flags or even Universal, part of it has to be that Disney is the best in the category they're competing in.
I worked at a company that migrated away from jQuery datatables. We chose Vue-good-table. Worked well but client side rendering mode had performance issues at 10k rows so we implemented a sorting algo in it.
Out of curiosity, what marketing material are you referring to? I.e. what is it that you find misleading, specifically?

If anything, I feel that the Julia website and manual focus more on technical computing than they ought to and could stand to spend more time on general computing matters for which the language is also well suited. I’ve been meaning to write a blog post entitled “Julia is a General Purpose Language” for a long time. Which I suspect you would take issue with, but that’s ok.

Not really. Check out fsharp code and you use domain words to actually model the business case.

This is really old code, but it communicates Fsharp's effectiveness quite well. https://github.com/swlaschin/NDC_London_2013/blob/master/ddd...

Not to mention maintainability.
I continue to be unsurprised at the number of people who are surprised to learn giving their contact book to a random internet app is a poor idea.

Perhaps in the early days, I’d understand however by now there’s a LOT of evidence to suggest that it doesn’t end well.

Replace Tesla and Elon with any company and their CEO. Every single company that collects data needs a TOS to be able to manage their service without legal trouble.

C++ has improved a lot, but many of those solutions have been half-assed versions of things D does to completion.

CTFE in D works as you would expect, constexpr is a weird hack.

Concepts in C++ are ridiculously overcomplicated and are done with a much simpler solution in D.

Ranges are also much better thought out in D.

C++ will also never replicate D's ease of use when it comes to metaprogramming - static foreach and if for example have no alternative in C++ (if constexpr is incredibly stupid)
What are you trying to say here? Your comment feels a bit passive-aggressive.

I did a lot of the work to get sub-second timestamps working within the fluentd+ElasticSearch ecosystem and the thing is a tire fire.
As a solo bootstrapped SaaS founder that literally relies on my app to pay my rent and food, I owe my sanity to Laravel. I've been doing web development for 10+ years. Nothing else understands the needs of a business owner AND solo programmer like Laravel does.

I worked with Python (Flask/Django) for (4+ years) longer than I worked with Laravel (only 1 year), and yet I'm already 10x more productive in Laravel than I have ever been in Python.

Software projects follow Conway's Law, i.e. [1] the software architecture reflects the team structure. Laravel reflects the needs of business owners and one-man-companies because it is built by a business owner and has an ecosystem supported by one-man-companies who build high quality products for profit. I want beautiful high level abstractions AND a theoretically sound framework that is battle-tested in production. Laravel gives me both.

The number of headaches that Laravel just solves for me, out of the box:

0. Background Jobs/Queues/Rate Limiting/Retry logic handled by the excellent queueing framework

1. Rock solid server deployments/DevOps handled by Laravel Forge

2. Seamless version upgrades handled automatically by Laravel Shift

3. Backend-agnostic full-text search built into the framework with Scout

4. ORM which seamlessly enables caching, lazy loading, advanced subqueries, dynamic scoping, or just mixing in raw SQL when you need it

5. And there's just so much more. I live and breathe Laravel.

Is that supposed to make me feel better, or worse? ;P I will say that if everyone (including the agent at the gate who doesn't seem to want to admit this to even themselves) said that out loud--instead of claiming it was a critical security measure--it would make me feel a lot better about the whole thing and I might not even be upset about it anymore (though at that point you might also see the public opinion holding it together change).
Because non-print versions kinda blow. Spanning a single article over 10 pages with a few dozen words per page just so you can get 10 times the ad impression is not acceptable.
I particularly enjoyed this video http://vimeo.com/12149977 in which we are told that Twitter is useful for keeping up to date on new technologies.
HR practices disconnected from a respectful approach to the individuals involved can certainly reflect on the general approach of a large company.

HR is one of those neglected things, if they've gotten that right then they tend to have other things right. It's also something that you hope will be invisible and will "just work" when you're there... you want it to be friendly, respectful, and efficient.

I would say that if HR appears from the outset to be burdened by needless bureaucracy (an aptitude test when you acknowledge the position/department/legislature may not require it) definitely checks the box of reflecting a corporate culture that allows such crud to creep in.

I don't go for any positions that:
1) Require me to jump through silly hoops when there is no benefit from anyone to doing so.
2) Bog me down in bureaucracy before I've even begun.
3) Require me to give access to any personal data that they do not have the legal right to ask for.

On that last one, I'm talking about social networking credentials, overly invasive background checks that don't relate to the position and so on. I was fine with the Home Office and GCHQ asking questions about my finances, running criminal record checks and contacting friends and family as part of a security vetting process that they have the legal mandate to perform... but I wouldn't be fine with a large company performing such things.
Wow, I didn't expect such terrible useability from an apple website:

- open the page
- hover over "low" link, notice it's a .mov extention
- right click the "low" link, select "save as..."
- open downloaded file
- windows firewall popup says it's trying to phone home.
- click "no, block this"
- quicktime opens and nothing happens.

Evidently, the file you download is not an actual video file, like it says it is. It's a placeholder for a stream. But since it never tells you this, the only sane thing to do when the firewall warning comes up is to block it. And of course, quicktime doesn't handle this common failure case.

Amazing.

More fun, now that the port's blocked, there's no way to watch the movie even if you just click the link.
Nitpick: High Court of England and Wales, there is no "British" High Court.
I have been spending less time on 'large newspaper' sites lately because I find it annoying that the text columns are becoming narrower and the ad columns multiplying to their right.

If CPM rates are dropping from your advertisers, maybe its because you are cramming too many ads in!
>If you grow up hearing that girls can't do computers, can't do math, can't do science, cos science is a boy thing, while hearing that language is something girls are good at, you get a lot of female language majors.

Who says this? I've never heard it except in debates where it is levelled as the reason why boys prefer mathematically biased subjects ("hard sciences").

Are women also worried that they are under-represented in autism figures, something which appears to closely related to the generalised male ability with mathematics and disability in respect of social aptitude.

>If they'd treat people the same from the start [...]

You mean ignore that people are different and want different things?

My point was the data is wrong. It classifies someone doing php work for a small non-profit as the same as someone developer high-frequency trading systems for an investment bank, even though in reality there can be an order of magnitude difference in salaries.

The whole concept of "prevailing wage" is a sham in high-skill occupations. It's a hangover from blue-collar jobs.
I know an earlier version of this doll had binary on the laptop itself which spelled out the ASCII codes for "BARBIE" but I'm not sure about this one.

For the scanning, we (.NET team) use the scanning services provided in Azure Container Registry (ACR). This is an internal ACR and the results of that are internal as mentioned in the post.

All the other tooling we use is open source. You can find our build infrastructure at https://github.com/dotnet/docker-tools. There's a tool there called image-builder that provides much of the functionality. I've written a blog post on how we use Azure Pipelines to manage the builds: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/how-the-net-team-uses-.... Between image-builder and the pipelines, there's some automation that automatically rebuilds our images whenever a parent image changes.

This isn't really true. I've lived in Texas most of my life and only live in California now.

There are extremists, such as the woke-class of progressives, that probably will not change their minds about anything. The same probably goes for the alt-right and QAnon class of Trumpists. The only way for these kinds of people to change their minds is some event or accountability to be had.

The main body of California residents are pretty cool, free loving, hard working, and probably have a lot more in common with you than they'd let on if they knew you were different. If you talk about ideas without using labels (Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Liberal, Conservative) then their ears and minds are usually open. I observed the same thing with devout conservatives in Texas.

People adapt to the culture that surrounds them and unfortunately the culture in hyper liberal cities has hit rock bottom.
Having multiple keys without auditing when the backups are used, though, feels wrong. And that is my main gripe with these right now. Very hard to get any system to help build the habit of using the things. Most places default to remember your login. Basically forever.

The United States is quickly becoming a police state. It's downright shameful and it's propelled by a combination of over-zealous, vote-seeking politicians and, most frighteningly, citizen apathy.
I wonder how hard it was to get access to the first copy.

I know I've done similar things. Whenever I have a midterm in a class that I know is taught at other universities, I try to track down past exams to go through. They are really helpful to work through similar problems to those being presented on the test.

Also, whenever the class is widespread enough to have solutions to homework and labs posted online, our Professor generally tells us directly on day one, and that we should avoid them.
This sort of propaganda bullshit is popular in the US. That's like saying the US was built on slave and prison labor.

Sure, they contributed, but, at what scale?
"Do not rely on SEO to market your product" Couldn't agree more. A good marketing strategy requires diversity of channels. Naturally, unless you have a full-time person working on marketing, you will have to make sacrifices, but relying on just one channel is really going to hurt your business.

"Add a free feature which is accessible, useful, and spreads virally. It can create a stream of links and mentions that quickly replaces an ad budget."

Aaron Wall makes a great point here. Creating the feature or resource is often a lot of work upfront, but over time it will turn into a better investment than churning out blog posts (that doesn't mean you shouldn't be blogging or creating content in some other form, though).
Relocate to the UK.
So let me get this straight. Weeks of protests which started against racism and police brutality but in many places degenerated into mass looting and burning of whole buildings (often in both cases having no connection to perpetrators of violence against minorities) gets swept under the rug as justified social anger and legitimate social protest (not to mention the medical community performing clinical contortions to keep itself on the woke side of things despite its previous criticisms of those who were irresponsible in not socially distancing in public) But this bunch of people deserve lengthy prison sentences, all the hate that can be tossed on them and every nasty thought it's possible to generate?

Talk about absurd double standards. No fan of Trump and these protestors strike me as idiotic, but if you're going to hate on them this much, it's worth analyzing why other fairly recent protests somehow deserved a free pass because of their supposed social justice credentials...

Since Parler was a nexus of these terrorists attacks, are you suggesting the same for apple? What are you suggesting? I'm so sick of these vague right wing threats.
It's not difficult to create new social media platforms. They're created all the time.

If your newborn community attracts so many bad actors that they become such a drag on your business that you can't operate because of the liabilities the create for you, you are a victim of these bad actors. You're not the victim of a functioning legal system.
Not at all certain. Major outlets have cut him off on several occasions.

Spies aren't the same as we see in the movies. Remember CIA field operatives used chip bags to hide their cell phones' signal.

Clearly they never tried calling those phones to test...
> You didn't see this sort of reaction in 2000, and that was far far closer.

Just a comment on this point, I see two huge differences:

1) Gore conceded. On 13-Dec 2000. Trump only just "conceded", and still called it rigged, stolen etc. It makes a big difference when the leader concedes.

2) Technology has totally change the landscape in the last 20 years. There are now plenty of spaces on the Internet, huge echo chambers, allowing people to share posts and fuel each others hatred, spread misinformation, organise and mobilise.
They are under a (false) impression that they are the majority and when everyone moves to Parler the broader audience will be on their platform. And twitter will become a place where the left is just talking to each other and agreeing. Of course, as we can all see the reality is completely opposite. On any conservative platform you'll find a narrow audience discussing only one thing - politics. And it's boring to discuss only politics, even to them.
Do you know what is the building blurred by google street view, in front-left of the grain elevator ? I am curious.
I must admit I don't fully understand this, probably need to read your linked articles a bit more in-depth first.

But if you say react doesn't need to visit the children because the prop didn't change, you have to also answer the related question: Why does react need to visit the same JSX Element that receives the same props?

> To sum up, I don’t see it as a trick at all.

Like many react articles before, this really feels like post-hoc rationalization.

Getting the react API to be sane and predictable is really hard giving JS's current notion of equality.
It's true that Docker isn't a first-class abstraction at the level of the Linux kernel, but BSD has jails, and Solaris has Zones. This is important in some respects, but I don't see that it informs things here. Containers are still 'a thing' regardless of how they're implemented.
I think you can still buy some stock with the intention of collecting the dividends or hoping for the stock's value to grow over time.

There are simple calculations like Price/Earnings ratio that are usually published with every stock, that can help to see if it is a "gambling stock".

You will of course hear all sorts of opinions about the stock market, including hardcore socialists who believe it is the root of all evil and so on. So take everything with a grain of salt.
There isn’t that much that needs to change to back end code for a messaging app from one month to the next. The frontend app and backend infra may well have changed significantly with the recent surge of new users after WhatsApp-gate. But that doesn’t always result in changes to the code running the backend messaging services.
> The author here is trying to make a point about EV.

This is only the first of their two points (summarised at the top and bottom).
The second section "Poor Bet Sizing" covers what you are trying to say.

They make the second point that even if you have positive EV, the size of your bet is relevant - and the Kelly Criterion can help you decide how much to stake.

The larger your bankroll, the more volatility you can stomach [the smaller your bankroll, the more "good bets" are still a personal risk] - you are agreeing with their second point, that you should think like a professional gambler.

"Braid is an effort to incorporate new distributed technologies into the existing World-Wide Web. We find consensus on extensions to today's web standards that support distributed web technologies. We work in the IETF's HTTP Working Group. You can join the effort.

The Braid Protocol is a set of extensions to HTTP, which transform it from a state transfer protocol into a state synchronization protocol. When a resource is changed by one client or server, all other clients and servers update. Braid supports Operational Transform and CRDTs at web URLs, enabling peer-to-peer, offline-capable web applications."
Will any device made of matter / operating in polynomial time ever be able to hold the full 2^128 address space? It seems like we will forever be sub-netting into huge blocks simply because the entire space if mathematically infeasible to operate on. I think its fair to ask: Whats the point?
"The issue is language barrier and price."

I think this is kind of a 'new world' view. Japan is not Canada/America/New Zealand, or even UK which is easy to adapt into for historical reasons.

The issue is 'culture' - of which 'language' is only the most apparent barrier.

Japan has 1) a very complicated culture and 2) it's ethnocentric. These two things are related, because with such a complicated culture, it can take a very long time to adapt, and probably a lot of effort. Newcomers who don't make a concerted effort over a very long time won't ever make it to that level. One might argue that to be truly integrated, one might have to be 'born and raised' there. To boot, because there are so few who don't fit this mould, this has the additional effect of reinforcing in the minds of Japanese (or any such culture), that even individuals who have conquered the cultural artifacts but who 'look different' aren't really 'Japanese'.

Aside from ethnocentric concerns over 'what makes a Japanese person Japanese' which is surely controversial ... it makes it very difficult for newcomers to participate.

These things are neither 'government mandates' nor can they simply be bound into issues such as 'language and food' (although language is a big one) - it's a pervasive and intrinsic nature of the nation.

It's such a 'big thing' that I'd say whatever they do to attract foreign talent probably has to address this Elephant in the room.

I use DuckDuckGo when I know what the first result is likely to be. If I'm actually _searching_ for something (i.e. the majority of the time) I add !g. I can feel myself flinch every time I submit a DuckDuckGo query. It's just much, much worse.
