The fact that Go's defer runs at function end instead of scope end is, in my opinion having coded and reviewed huge amounts of Go code, a bug.

It's almost never what you want, and it requires terrible gymnastics whenever the difference matters.

So in C++ implementing defer the right way is to just register a std::function that gets run from the class destructor. I've used it as an alternative to wrapping a resource, or timing a function call.

Only gotcha is to be careful about throwing from within the destructor. Or to put another way: don't.

I think it's pretty obvious that the current gen F9s are way more reusable and with way less refurbishment than the Shuttle ever was, even with the disposable second stage. But yeah, there are limitations, which is part of why FH is effectively cancelled in favour of just flying those payloads on a disposable booster.

But now that the basic principle has been proven, really leaning into it is part of the point of Starship— a new clean sheet design that is built for full reusability from the get go.

Happens all the time to me. (although I have not used Actions) . Especially when I also had to set up a cross compiler on the CI. And each change needs 15 minutes to run the VM again

I must have misunderstood your first comment because I agree completely. I don't have any data about it, but I would think that any large tech company would be much more interested in having the best people than they would be in hiring only from a limited pool.
I find the pricing structure a bit odd. The "Chameleon" pricing plan seems to have no incentive to buy. For the same exact thing you cant get 3 "Gecko" plans and save $50 ... or get more by buying two "Iguana" plans?
The employees have payroll tax, health insurance, various compliance requirements, and some rights. You also have to tell the government when you get rid of a lot of them

Contractors have less baggage, as long are the IRS doesn't decide to audit you and apply their rules for who is a contractor vs employee.
I hear if you close your eyes, the whole world stops existing. Try that.
As @snowwrestler has mentioned, the disadvantages arise from the Company required to take on liability for damages, work not completed etc, as well as the provision of benefits (sick leave, retirement plans etc).

In the context of being an Independent Contractor however, my experience has been that very few companies are willing to directly hire a person as a 1099 Software Contractor. A majority of them have you come on as a "W-2 Contractor". What this means is that the Recruiting Company "forces" you to sign up with them as a "W-2 Contractor", and they in essence withhold taxes, and provide mostly Sh*ty benefits, and give you a lower rate than if you were an independent 1099 Contractor.

On the flip side, the Company at which you will be performing your work has none of the risks associated with 1099 Contractors, and can fire you at any time without any risk of a lawsuit from you, since their legal agreement is with the recruiting company that hired you as a "W-2 Contractor", and not with you directly.

Hope this makes sense.

I hate this situation and I wish some Jobs / Career startup company would address this pain point, i.e. software engineer forced to go through "W-2 Companies" and hence getting a lesser hourly rate and thrust with benefits that the contractor doesn't need (as his spouse may have medical benefits from a fulltime job etc).
i.e. it would be cool if a startup career website could connect 1099 Independent Contractors with the Companies that need them, and get them the higher rates that are currently being "eaten" by the middle-men / brokers that masquerade as Recruiting Companies and make you get on a W-2 at a much much lower rate.
I see no flaw in my thinking. I'm not the average person.

Perhaps people should get up to speed before using Bitcoin unless they want to lose their money. Storing btc with a third party is a great way to lose them.

I'll import the keys into the reference client. Or I can create a transaction by hand and inject it into the network.
You must be right when you say that big players will be able to sell a lot of bitcoins with a measured market impact. That's closely related to an improved liquidity on the markets which will help grow Bitcoin.

Otherwise, no large exchange insures bitcoins stored in their cold wallets - which will be the case here. The risks are not well understood/priced yet...

Big companies legislating regulatory capture of markets is not restrained to any single party. It is however a growing problem. Changing your tone may find you more support in this overwhelmingly popular notion.
Please don't make the "Don't use atom then" argument in response to someone sharing unexpected info about Atom. No one is saying that they are being forced to use Atom. They are sharing info others may not know about Atom.

You're saying "Don't use Atom", but what you're implying is "Don't talk about Atom"
Abusing the public trust instilled in an office undermines the very foundation of society. I couldn't agree with you more.
I lost my home due to a large amount debt I couldn’t pay . I tried applying for a loan last month so I could get a bigger apartment for myself. All along, I thought I had a clean record only to find out that I had an initial eviction and some other negatives with a very low score of 435 which prevented me from getting the loan I seek. I met JAMEY GARRISON services online. I really appreciate meeting him. He helped me increase my score to a high 789 and all the negative items on my report were removed. I got everything I required and even more. As i speak, I’m now at the brim of getting a very big home. I want to fulfill my promise to him for such a discreet delivery in a relatively short time and at an affordable price. So here I am recommending JAMEYGARRISCREDITREPAIR AT GMAIL DOT COM or (970)414-1303.
That would go a certain distance, but I'd have to do a lot of measuring to see how scalable it is. Part of the problem with the free instance is I have to aggressively rate/bandwidth limit, because it's running on a single DigitalOcean instance with what maybe 1-10Gbps tops? I'd love to be able to give paying customers much higher performance by spreading across multiple machines. Though if any sort of a viable business model comes out of this, I'll probably look to switch to physical hardware anyway.
OK, are there any standard Debian packages that do this?

As I recall, it was a huge upset when Ubuntu app search hit Amazon by default.

And when you install Debian, it asks whether you want to participate in the packages survey. And the default is "no".

Edit: And just to be clear, this isn't about me. I assume that stuff will leak my IP address without warning, so I only connect via nested VPN chains. Or when I really care, that plus Tor.

This is about people who trust stuff that they use.
I agree - but there's no native Windows app. I don't want to have to shift through a dozen tabs in Chrome to find one for Fibery, I want to just click an icon on my desktop. I also want Desktop-specific features like Right-click.
Absolutely, they got my eyes on the product for far longer than they would have otherwise.
> In other words, you would need to use the drugs in combination with therapy to obtain good results.

For optimal results, not good results. The compounds are fairly therapeutic on their own and can and have produced plenty of good results, in the same way that chewing on willow bark still helped with headaches before we concentrated into the convenient form of aspirin.
These are actually still pretty handy though I didn't know their name! I used them in a chemistry class where various partial pressures were calculated and the various axis were included for O2, H2, etc. Nomogram's are often quicker than even looking up similar information on a computer. It seems sometimes we've lost the ability to quickly and intuitively solve problems without resorting to a computer. These graphical methods allow you to estimate results in your head using even a rough visual memory of the graph.
I remember my poor LCII practically grinding to a halt under 7.5! Just awful. And that's my point; we've been here before, in fact I'd argue same as it ever was! With OS X, the first few releases were painful. Yes, Apple need to up their game on the quality of their software and (IMHO) the quality of their internet services especially, but this is nothing new. Perhaps the rose-tint is wearing thin?
As another anecdote, I was questioned heavily going into Israel for the Birthright program (flying out of Miami on El Al). They actually confiscated my Nintendo DS because I didn't have a game to play for it in my bag. I also got a full physical pat down in a back office.

That said, the people were truly polite. If TSA employees were more tactful and friendly, that unpleasant potion might at least go down a little easier.

Congrats and a big thank you to the team. My favorite language and compiler just got a lot better with this update.
I'm running Ubuntu on my development machine, and I really enjoy VIM keybindings. I had a lot of trouble getting the key bindings to work in Eclipse, but jVi worked like a charm in NetBeans for me. (Needed a rich IDE for some Magento dev. Sometimes to make a 2-line change properly in the core involves making 3 dirs, 2 XML files, 1 php file. le sigh)
Hi there,

I'm in a similar boat as you, in that my social circle is decidedly non-geek.
I've also been on a career path that, although pays well, hasn't been anywhere
close to the interesting stuff that I figure I should be working on given my
background.

So for the past couple of years, I've been working on side projects that have
been much more interesting to me than my day job. It's been a bit of a sacrifice
in terms of social life and other hobbies, but ultimately worth it. After my
current contract ends in January, I'm planning to take some time off from my
main line of work to try and get a personal project off the ground. If nothing
else, I'll just get even more experience doing interesting stuff.

It's up to you to decide on what kind of financial footing you want to be before
making any kind of drastic change. Moving from Dallas to SF would (I think) be a
bit of a hit on the wallet.

I don't think you need to necessarily get out to California in order to get
started. There are a bunch of things you can get involved in over the internet
so that you can get geared up. That said, the meetups can be motivating, so it
would definitely be a boost if you decided to move. In the meantime, maybe you
can meet up with other like-minded folks around Dallas as well (or maybe
Austin?)

Anyway, sorry for the ramble, hope you figure out something that works for you!
Google is losing China because the Chinese government will do whatever it takes to make sure domestic companies win in the long run. They will throttle bandwidth, block IPs, subsidize, threaten, deny permits, and use any other levers of power - subtly but effectively - until Chinese companies dominate the domestic market.

Baidu does a great job, but these reasons that Google "was not close enough" are a smokescreen for what's really going on there.

Almost never. I don't care who the HN member is, so that doesn't play into it. The only time I'll upvote something without clicking on it is if I read the article from another source previously. Usually the headline matches or is close to the original piece, a quick glance at the domain, and a hover over the headline to verify the url will do it. At most, I think I do this maybe 3x a week at most.

What phone do experienced Android developers recommend getting? The Droid X, Droid 2, and HTC Incredible are seemingly the most popular ones people are buying in the stores, but I was thinking of getting a Droid 1 or Nexus One for development. The Droid 1 is a bit slower and I think it is best to develop for slower hardware than for faster hardware, and the Nexus One is seemingly the fastest to be updated. Any recommendations?

Thank you, this answers pretty much all the questions I had for the book. Just added to my cart, and now I`m trying to decide on the "MongoDB: The Definitive Guide" book.
I'm honestly not sure I'm understanding you properly, but if I am, this is true up to a point. We like to believe in a world where everyone's results are directly correlated with how much work they've done, but that's just as much a fantasy as it is to believe that all you have to do is sit around and wait for the right opportunity to magically appear.

I hate to break it to you, but the most successful people in society usually got there not only from hard work but from being in the right place at the right time.
Worst advice for me was "don't let any doors close", "keep your options open", and variations on that theme. Did a lot of damage because it sounds so reasonable, yet the net effect is to prevent or forestall commitment.
"The computers are in control, and we just live in their world"

No, we are ostensibly in control, or at least the humans who know how to program and control this type of system are. Like any machine or complex system, it may fly out of our control, but it is not in some other entity's control at that point, it's just out of control. We're not to the point of facing a true artificial intelligence, yet...

I don't read that much lately, but want to throw in a few names:

Well, I guess it needs the right kind of person to appreciate this. I've never been that kind of person to eat with random people, so I guess it would be pretty difficult for me to really get it.
I recommend going to a group to learn in person. It's easier to decide if you feel at home with a certain group of people than to judge books and theories about meditation when you don't have personal experience.

If you look for Buddhist groups, you'll find different kinds. The best way to avoid new-agey or flakey groups is to check their sources. Do they have a teacher who is a good example? Who was the teacher's teacher? Authentic Buddhist lineages of teacher and student trace themselves back for generations, and the teachers praise their teachers -- not themselves.

There are many authentic lineages. You'll find Japanese Zen schools which prefer a lot of discipline. There are also four Tibetan schools. The school of the Dalai Lama is called the Gelug school. It is the newest of the four schools and strongly emphasizes study and theory. The older Kagyu and Nyingma schools specialize in meditation and direct experience. In my experience, Kagyus tend to be more "learn by swimming" types and the Nyingma prefer a broad overview and more distance. I don't have experience with the fourth school, the Sakya.

I've meditated in the Kagyu school for six years now as part of the Diamond Way centers (http://www.lama-ole-nydahl.org/diamondway-buddhism/). Which group you find isn't important. The important thing if you want good results is that you find something authentic which fits you, and if it fits, stay with one thing without mixing. Different Buddhist schools use the same words for different things and different words for the same things, and it gets even more confusing if you mix Buddhist and non-Buddhist sources.

Good luck!
Not a /r/DarkNetMarket customer, but I read it to keep the pulse on that section of the Bitcoin economy. You're very right. Every few months someone posts a "tails is overkill, here's my (misconfigured insecure) mobile TOR setup that is just as good". I'd wager many darknetmarkets customers aren't keeping tor properly up to date either.
That's an interesting idea for an email digest actually.

Thanks!
If you're at all serious I'd suggest investing the $16 to remove the branding of this other company + a couple bucks for a domain. Goes a long way to improve credibility.
Patents on a product's "image" are just as ridiculous as software patents. Apple tried the same thing when they sued Microsoft over the Windows GUI and lost.

'The court ruled that, "Apple cannot get patent-like protection for the idea of a graphical user interface, or the idea of a desktop metaphor [under copyright law]"'

hi there,
arash from dropbox here. all data is (as we state in the referenced help article) encrypted before it's stored on the backend. I'm not sure why you're concluding that de-duplication implies lack of encryption. the de-duplication occurs prior to encryption.

all data on dropbox can be made shareable and is web viewable. as a consequence, we do need the ability to decrypt in the cloud.

re. employee access to files - there are controls to prevent this. for example, even drew (founder/CEO), doesn't have physical access to our storage servers anymore.

for very sensitive data, there's always the option to use truecrypt (we even offer this as a recommendation in our security documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/terms#security)
The legal problem is already solved, in a narrow sense, for programs which are otherwise impossible to install in the usual manner: http://archive.org/about/dmca.php

Does Windows 95 qualify? Probably not quite yet, but if UEFI ever wins to the point where motherboards with the traditional BIOS become unavailable and then the available UEFI motherboards stop including a BIOS-compatibility mode, then it probably will.

That said, there's no reason why Wikipedia editors can't embed the player that Archive.org uses for console/arcade/dos games into their respective Wikipedia pages. It wouldn't be quite as easy as embedding a Youtube video (where every video gives you a snippet of HTML to paste into your page), but the emulator is just a js file, and the game is just a couple of small image files which you load and stick into the emulator's in-memory filesystem.

See https://github.com/db48x/emdosbox-loader if you want to see how Archive.org is currently loading those. It's not quite ready to just be plugged in everywhere, but I'm working towards that possibility.
Yes, that's precisely what I meant
> You're right, the women's march protests were far more dangerous.

This is beyond bad faith, this is an open "fuck you" to anyone that dares participate in this discussion. To shut it down, to make any sort of dialogue impossible.

"let's make everything political."

Everything -is- political. For some people, the status quo is amenable to them. For others, it is not. If you want to avoid politics, I think the only real way is to venture into the wilderness and live solo.

"Should you be able to fire them freely because you're not OK with their political beliefs?"

I can't speak for other countries, but the US protects from being fired due to certain characteristics. Aside from that, yes, absolutely, employers should be able to fire employees.

That said, there is nothing preventing said employees from giving said employer bad press, etc. There is nothing preventing employers from getting tried in the court of public opinion.

I don't see why we should expect the government to intervene and say "well, you can't fire anyone, for any reason, ever, as they claim it's retribution for X, Y, or Z". That, I believe, would be referred to by most americans as the dreaded "socialism" that we're so keen to avoid in favor of free market capitalism.
Using select * can cause some correctness issues, but from a performance perspective, it’s basically an archetypal topic for bike shedding. In the sense that using the smallest projection you actually need is an optimization, but for most use cases it will end up being an irrelevant optimization. So select * is bad for performance, but you don’t need to care about it unless you’re experiencing one of the problems it case cause, which most people probably don’t. But you can have a back and forth discussions about that forever.
If I take a look on (rolling average) of cases and deaths, peaks are more or less at the same point (about 1 week for this peak and 2 weeks for the previous one, definitely not 4 weeks apart. In particular, now b)oth number of cases and deaths are decreasing.
I strongly suspect they had conversations with SkySilk before moving their services there.

Also, that's a very standard provider clause. No company is going to promise to serve anyone, anywhere, even if they don't want to.
> He does not criticise education, but school.

Are you unaware that "education" is often used to mean both the process and institutions devoted to it? Perhaps I should have said "anti-school" but that would only make it a poor choice of words - not a strawman.

> politics which is almost anywhere a nearly hopeless endeavour.

Do you expect everyone to share that assumption?
3D art like Zbrush, Cinema4D, and to a certain degree, Lottie and After Effects.
The article says the developer was never named, as if that had anything to do with the actual problems. Everything about this project sounds insane & inept.

Some questions in my mind while reading this article (but I couldn't find them quickly in a search):
Who were the executives that were running the company? Sounds like something that should be taught to MBA as well as CS students. Further, the AECL was a crown corporation of the Canadian government. Who was the minister and bureaucrats in charge of the department? What role did they have in solving or covering up the issue?
In theory yes. When you are joining two tables that have the same column names you have to alias them anyways.
Indeed. Also Groovy++ (aka Groovy with static typing) is worth mentioning.
