I'm using Edgecast via PAYG at Speedyrails. Means you don't need to pay the ~$350 odd setup fee etc. Very happy with speeds & latency especially here to Australia.
"But I don't sit here and justify my failures like the girl who writes that blog."

I read absolutely no self justifying in that blog. Just brutally honest, self deprecating humor.

I also feel that this brutal honesty about herself makes it more likely, not less, that she will eventually conquer this adult thing.
I started when I was 38. I feel like I've been playing catch-up for 30 years, but I've never regretted the change. You will always have something more to learn. Isn't that what keeps you alive?
There's a better article here:

The real point is that this person is controlling probably more for wealth/income than anything else.

But the problem persists. If most of our country is being educated as if it was a third world country, what does that say for the future of the US?

This is true, and I don't have extensive enough experience to weigh those correctly (and even if I did, I would be heavily biased by the languages I currently use). This is why I opted to wuss out rather than risk getting it horribly wrong.

And yes, from what I've seen/heard, plenty of Rubyists, Lispers, Haskelliens, etc. would certainly disagree with you.
Good thinking. Like anything in NYC, startups tend to get overhyped and there's a lot of dumb money from rich kids or people who had a good run at finance etc. I wouldn't work for below market wage in this kind of economy.

When the bubble pops, you can use your savings and take advantage of the lower costs (and the fact you might not have a job anyway..) to start your own thing.

(Edit: I guess the downmodding means I need to add some disclaimers here... There are also smart rich kids and ex-bankers. Sometimes working for under-market wage does make sense, eg. if you're trying to break in to a new field. Some things are not overhyped in NYC. Your dreams may vary from those of Globex Corporation, its subsidiaries and shareholders)

Kinda a bummer for those of us who don't use twitter..

Being put in handcuffs and kept in a cell for several hours is not the same as being detained at a traffic stop to answer a few questions. And no, I don't think most objective human beings want to live in a police state where carrying arabic flash cards and a perfectly legal book is sufficient cause to be inconvenienced by the state in such a manner.
> Scientists estimate that prior to European settlement in California, fires burned approximately 4.5 million acres annually in California. In comparison, between 1950 and 1999, fires burned about 250,000 acres annually, less than 6 percent of the historical average. Within a few years, the natural fire regime in which Sierra forests evolved and thrived largely ceased.

This not only set up a perfect storm for massive wildfires, but also makes you think it this had something to do with the droughts. If there's millions of extra trees consuming/holding water, it's not crazy to think this may be related.
Statistics would prove you wrong.

Quote from the introduction

In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: For the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.
Because using previous tests is a common (and presumably ethical) method to study for previous exams.

As noted in the previous thread, it might have been a good idea for the students to have said "Hey, we've seen these questions before." But the professor using a bank of test questions changes the situation from "a bunch of students stole the test" to "the professor maybe should have used questions that people didn't have ready access to."
Some colleagues asked me when I will start a company 'cause they want to join me. My dream of that company is that if a union is even needed, I have failed and that company needs to close.

I understand why some people want unions. I also know about a very long history of unions either completely destroying companies or having a negative influence over them, including the countries in Europe like my own. Long term unions become a parasitic entity that has the main purpose to continue its existence for the profit of the union leaders and nobody else and using all the influence to achieve that goal, even if the host is negatively impacted.

"They" being Nvidia here. AMDs amdgpu driver clearly shows the problem is neither Linux nor Wayland or Sway.
You probably need to see the speaker notes (or listen to the presentation) basically, the battery pack is a huge chunk of cost in the car, this is especially true in lower cost cars, and the markup of the materials as they go through the process which quite high (basically that is code for 'the battery makers are making huge margins on batteries). Without a battery competitor to try to squeeze margins, you are forced to either do your own batteries or cede the margin to the battery maker.

By putting this out there you end up effectively negotiating with Panasonic (the biggest supplier) to either take lower margins or lose their biggest customer. In order to make that sort of threat you have to credibly be able to build the capability. So Panasonic (and potentially other manufacturers that see the sorts of margins they get) see this and react. One hopes they react by lowering their prices (taking less margin) or by new companies entering the field which are structured to operate on lower margins.

The overall effect is the same, Tesla negotiates a better price on a pricey chunk of their cars.
> The IDE is a glorified editor with more stuff.

If only more people thought like this then I wouldn't be looked at funny when calling my Emacs an IDE. Instead I have some 90% of PyCharm functionality (+ Org Mode), but I constantly hear that it doesn't count because "I had to configure all these plugins" and so on...

And last time I checked VS installed everything it needed to run by itself - it didn't even ask if I want it IIRC. Dunno about Eclipse.
>Anyone who has looked into causes of stress cannot avoid the fact that a lack of PHYSICAL activity, a lack of PHYSICAL presence, and a lack of PHYSICAL stimulation is a major, if not the major factor.

Could you provide peer-reviewed research supporting this statement? Stress is a well-studied process and if what you say is true you should have no problem finding sources.

Sorry to be even more pedantic, but even with your correction, the phrase still doesn't make sense. Maybe something that was attempting to kill you but fails makes you weaker, so that the next threat kills you more easily.

If a car runs me over and breaks something in my body, but I manage to survive, it doesn't make me stronger or car-crash resistant.

> interestingly, the copyright laws use the same "useful arts" wording almost verbatim

That's because "useful arts" comes from Art 1 s. 8. cl.8 of the Constitution, which authorizes both patent and copyright laws:

> [Congress shall have the power] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
Cool, then Falcon is actually better off if it's suited for a more specific use-case like this.

Flask has a fantastic REST API extension (Flask-restless), so I'd go for a very targeted comparison between that and Falcon. Having more competition here can only be a good thing, I wish you the best of luck!
I would add another point, which is the strongest IMHO: using jQuery you won't incur any of the tons browser bugs fixed by jQuery, like for instance [this workaround to bugged Safari 7.1/8.0 querySelector](http://blog.jquery.com/2014/12/18/jquery-1-11-2-and-2-1-3-re...), which was just solved.
Well, good for you. But remember - there were plenty of people who had absolutely no problems with Vista. And plenty who did. Were those unhappy Vista users all imagining it?
It depends on the university. You can get a SUNY degree in certain studies (including CS, Math, and many others) that is just as good as a degree you would have gotten from a brick and mortar university. Many of the courses are taught by the same professors using the same textbooks, though some courses have in class finals which can be a trial.
First couple of updates relative to what exactly?

Because with Android's update process you cannot opt to push anything but the latest update which is always an unproven by its nature.

It isn't like Windows where you can opt out of the latest service pack for a while and wait to see if it is stable. With Android you either take the latest update or you don't.
...SOP at many employers...

That's true, and I can't believe we still haven't seen someone suing an employer over leaked personal banking creds. Many firms just have the proxy running, and haven't actually thought very hard about what assets (and whose) that proxy sees.

Autoplaying video featuring nudity. Might want to put a note or two about that.
If it's a walking city

This is a very important point. You probably want to go to a walking city, or else you need to think in advance about how you are going to get around.

In SE Asia it's cheap enough to get taxi's around.

In the UK, you really want to be careful - if you are in London get somewhere near an underground station and you'll be fine.
I know that the Montana topographic quads are based off of surveys done in the 60s and 70s. A lot of them have been updated, but the names don't always get changed.
Agreed.

The one way that isn't too difficult for people is to encrypt the data and then give out the password over the phone or something similar.(separate medium of communication)

Although I haven't been too strict doing this because even to tech-y people, explaining why email or IM is insecure takes a lot of time and energy.

And also agree that once you have to start worrying about people tapping your phone or intercepting all your communication, then you have bigger problems to worry about than that single document.
That's glucose. It's not even in the same league as fructose.
Actually, excercise alone won't usually make you lose weight.

> Wait are you saying I have to be content with who I am?

When did he ever tell you to stop bettering yourself?

> What do you mean I can't expect my employer to validate my passions in life?

Because your passions are yours, and yours alone. You could get miraculosuly lucky and get an employer that shares some of your passions and lets you work in them... or you could remove chance from the equation and write code on your own, and open source it.
> Well, Uber is more exploitative for the drivers and less safe for the riders, so the choice seems clear.

Have you ever driven for a taxi company as an independent contractor? Taxi companies exploit. People talking about drivers being “exploited” by Uber have never driven for a “normal” taxi company. There is a reason that many taxi drivers now drive for Uber. The taxi business is filthy. Journalists don’t usually write about it because it isn’t sexy like bashing Uber every chance they get.
Cynical opinion: School is first and foremost a place where kids are kept so they're busy. Much like compulsory military service is a place where young adults are kept so they're busy.

The answer to "Why aren't schools as good as they could be?" is mostly "Because they are as good as they need to be."
Black cabs only work in the center, even in Zone 2 there are plenty places where you won't find one and where they won't be willing to go.

Car hire can work but it's often more expensive, needs to be booked ahead of time and they also refuse trips that aren't profitable for them.

Uber openen up travel for many people in London, especially at night. It's quite easy to find a lot of places in London that aren't serviced by Night Buses, there are plenty of places that are 15-30 min walk from a tube station, and the Night Tube is only available on select lines and only during the weekend.
This shows a complete lack of knowledge about how most industries evolved in the past. Every industry was in the phase you describe the space industry in.

History is full of example of industries where no-one could imagine the potential before it got really cheap. From mobile phones to cars. Once something gets cheap the opportunities explode. Which is SpaceX's plan.

At $20/kg a space hotel would be possible to build, even a moon hotel. I'd imagine at some point it becomes seriously viable as an alternative to a luxury holiday in the maldives. I for one am interested.
Or - apparently much better repeaters can be built in 0g for fiber optic cables. Already there's talk of factories in space. Did you think of that one?

But it's almost silly to speculate because it's impossible to imagine the industries that will be created.
> Does anyone know how this law works with Twitter where there's no edit button and no guarantee (or tbh likelihood) that the correction goes as viral as the incorrect statement?

The tweet would most likely have to be deleted to comply with the initial order. If the poster contests the order in court and wins, they'll have to repost it.
> - corruption, especially in QC

Quebec removed a blindfold with the Charbonneau Commission.

A sincere question: have other provinces done the same recently? What did they discover?

> - over-the-top safety requirements, regardless of project size. E.g. in Toronto every road work sight has a police officer present who’s just standing there bored out of their mind.

How much does that add to a project that costs 9-10 digits?

> - lack of experience and expertise. Canada is a relatively young country with very few major infra projects under its belt.

What's your definition of "major infra projects?"

Canada is geographically enormous, with extreme climate and terrain, and clustered populations. Yet somehow they've built infrastructure for a modern, vibrant economy.

Examples:

70 years of remote hydro-electric plants and a transmission network for half a dozen provinces and states.[1]

50 years of nuclear power plants in half a dozen countries.[2]

A counter example for corruption (Canada is currently removing another blindfold), but about a century of bridges, tunnels, highways around the world.[3]

> - lack of care by citizens. Most Canadians aren’t well travelled outside of Americas.

Citation?

> They don’t know what good cities look and feel like.

I believe their counter only works when they have 2 replicas:

0

+1 / \ +2

1 2

With 3 replicas it breaks apart:

0

+1 / |+100 \ +2

1 100 2

203 <= incorrect result, 100 is accounted for twice.
It is accounted for twice because the lowest
common ancestor is '0'.

My team solved that problem by creating virtual common ancestors. This is similar to what git does in some cases.

I would say, rather, that the sword was used as a sidearm rather than a primary weapon. Most soldiers would have been armed with a spear, lance, or other polearm -- weapons with greater reach and ability to penetrate armor.

But many of those soldiers would also have carried a sword as a backup weapon and for use at closer range.
All that makes sense to me. That said, thanks to goroutines and channels, you can be writing out that firehose and not have to worry too much about loosing your 60 FPS (with caveats, of course, but with buffering you can do, say, 6000 log writes a second and not have to worry about overwhelming your disks too much).

> and pray that it is still there, 60 times a second is 60 times a second

Great thing about memory, most gaming and development machines have gobs of it. You could allocate upwards of 600mb to the ring buffer and not feel the pinch. That's a lot of data, especially if you want to get creative and store pointers in there to other large structures in memory (such as a copy of a texture or mesh).

Ultimately, though, I agree. Full GDB support would be better; logging like this is just a stopgap.

dangerous.com appears to be a saucy outfits retailer. Irrespective of the name, piping the html to sh is probably fine.
But not as fun
To this article's credit, ADT when counter-advertising people thinking about leaving (source: me everytime they raise their price on my aged featureless system) is that alarms made on a cellular signal instead of a land line can be jammed with 75 dollar cell phone signal jammers.

They stand on the bedrock that their existing systems can't be manipulated like that. While this article makes it clear that this is not a cheap or unsophisticated hack, depending on the value of what you have in your home this kind of hack can very much be worth the price of admission especially when free and explained on the internet.
Of course they would reverse engineer them. How do markets benefit from your (or my) models being given privacy versus not being given it?
What's missing from the article is what would have been if they put all that focus on excelling in the actual game design and technology. Looking at metacritic etc, Spyro is not in the top10 games of all time, perhaps because they didn't focus on getting the best product to the users?
I did a set of benchmarks recently for multi-dimensional scientific sensor data. You most definitely don't want row per measurement in PostgreSQL, but you can get surprisingly good results where you store a block of results per row in an array. For even better results TimescaleDB and ClickHouse achieved approximately 2-6 bytes per float32 timestamped measurement, depending on the dataset and shape.

> And Go was announced very close to its 1.0 launch while Rust was announced very, very early in its development cycle. So in reality they actually align neither in timing, nor in target domain.

Back when Rust was announced, it was much more similar to Go than it is now, even having a similar runtime for concurrency. Go did a better job than Rust of delivering this paradigm, largely because the Go implementors weren't relying on commodity technologies like LLVM and libuv.

As time went on, Rust was given more support by Mozilla, and it evolved into something more suited for browser implementation. It had other major influences at this point:

- The constraints of using LLVM. Many projects have failed trying to make LLVM do something that it's bad at doing. At the end of the day, LLVM is good at compiling C++ and things that look like C++, so if you stick to using LLVM and want an efficient language, your language will end up looking more like C++ over time.

- The swell of momentum around C++11. All of a sudden, programming idioms from the "Modern C++" movement were becoming mainstream.

- The halo of academic research into type-safe systems languages. Very few of the ideas in Rust are new, but some type system features from academia became more palatable for ordinary programmers when combined with the C++11 style.
> disable tests

Ha, amateurs - my last company never wrote any tests in the first place.
Neat stuff! I was at a similar point in my career when I wrote my first raytracer. I'd been using povray for years, and used javascript (circa 2003, we didn't even have canvas yet) because it amused me. It took a couple of minutes to render a classic "sphere on checkerboard" scene.

Writing a raytracer is a great exercise for a keen algebra student with decent programming chops. But I'm even happier to see it as a personal project than as homework.
> May I recommend adding a static type checker to your tooling.

I fully understand that the JS community has a thing for dependencies, and views Amazon as its representative use case, but I was hoping to add a few small Javascript functions to a static html page. JS loses its appeal quickly when you start adding things like that - if I can't open an html file in a text editor and add the functions I need, I might as well use a different language.
Alternatively, if I spend time and resources building my own cloud infrastructure, I would like to be able to choose my clients. Political beliefs are not a protected class, nor should they be.

And politics aside, if a client had a bad moderation policy or refused to moderate their content per my standard, then I should be allowed to terminate the contract. They should then be free to choose another provider.
Not that I disagree, no one should ever rely on Google or do any business with them. But as it stands right now, our corporate overlords completely privatized our freedom of speech, especially considering the fact that we're in the middle of Covid lockdowns, so you can't just go out and speak your mind. That's why I think the government should take action.
Sorry, scientology? This comes off as pretty bad faith.

Most EAs are people like me who read some essays, setup some reccuring donations to GiveWell and call it a day. If that's how being a scientology member goes then it must be milder than I've been led to believe.
