Ah, they had one of these in the Viscount House building at British Airways in London when I was working there back in the late 90s. I don't know if it's still in use.

I recall someone trying to take a ladder that was slightly too long for the compartment up a floor in it; I didn't see it but everybody on our floor heard the noise of what it did to the ladder.

I'm told that it was traditional when showing the apprentices the lift to let them have a go and then hit the emergency stop button once they were in the pit at the bottom.

It was very unnerving the first few times I used it but one became blasé about it rather quickly. Probably too quickly and definitely too blasé.

I like WASM for technical reasons, but I do not think it will stand the test of time and become a major part of how programs are run.

Mainly because the areas where it used have other solutions that are “good enough”. In the browser JS is good enough. On the server Docker + your typical Linux program is “good enough”. In time things like KVM will offer great sandboxing to containers.

Another issue is that server side programs depend on system interfaces of Linux, which are battle tested, observable and trusted. With WASM you need to replicate that with some message passing system.
Many or most machine learning and data science developers would probably find that Python + Numpy, Panda, SciPy, SciKit, TensorFlow, is far faster to develop in and probably faster and safer to compute than anything they could write themselves in C or C++.

Python is great for glueing stuff together - even when the libraries are in C/C++ (or Fortran for that matter).

In the realworld, the environment: availability of developers, library ecosystems, and the runtime platform requirements are nearly always much more important than the efficiency of the code.
While the system may suck, it's leagues better than it was before ACA for most people. Even your example shows it, since before ACA, there was no out of pocket maximums, and hence you continued to receive bills. In fact, before ACA, there was a maximum benefit amount the insurers would pay up to, and then after that, the costs would fall on you.

And your GA state program is most certainly made possibly by the expanded Medicaid funding due to ACA.

>There isn't any trust - as many posters here describe, paying medical bills in the US is (feels like?) a constant struggle against being defrauded by both your insurance company and your doctor.

This is true, but it would help if healthcare providers would list the codes they will charge so that people can look up the cost with their insurer and aren't signing blank checks every time they enter a medical office.
Was #DOScember the result of a Retrovirus?
A lot of people are disagreeing with you, but subways are extremely expensive compared buses and only make sense for capitols or very large cities. Public transit must match the city. Mid-sized cities like Nice or Denver will have light rail systems. Smaller cities like Boulder will have buses. Buses get a stigma in North America but they are good because the initial cost is low so it's easy to get routes with the magical <= 15 minutes between buses which is needed to attract "casual" riders.

Something no one brought up is the recent-ish idea of bus rapid transit (BRT), which solves the problem of not having exact change, because who does these days? BRT gives some of the advantages of rail like fare machines and dedicated right-of-ways. Albuquerque (which is far too small for a subway) just put in its first line.
Any cheap Hetzner dedicated (~30€/month) can handle tracking thousands of daily visits without breaking a sweat.

If we're talking about 10s of thousands, you're gonna need to invest in some SSD (€50-70/month probably).

If we're talking about dozens of sites, some of which have millions of yearly visitors (and a bunch of plugins and reports that need to be generated), then you're gonna encounter some issues and have to spend a considerable amount of time optimizing every part of it, and hardware cost will rise to a hundred or two per month.
Yes, it depends on where in Norway you are, and the context, but if someone yelled "kjerring" somewhere around Oslo, the best translation would be "bitch".

If you disagree, we'll have to duke it out with Holmgang. ;)
Hi guys, I'm really excited to share this and get some feedback. I had this idea on my mind for a really long time, but only now I was able to actually build it properly from the ground up.

Please note this is work in progress, nothing is final, so if you have suggestions, ideas or changes let me know.
This is a common technique in the mailing list industry. It's called "salting". You add fake names, but real email addresses, street addresses, or post office boxes. You then monitor what shows up in these places addressed to "Mr. Fake Name". It's how mailing list companies monitor who is using their lists and helps control misuse.
> Perhaps we should add “Don’t say things like ‘The most leveraged way to learn how to CTO’.” to the list.

Please leave the unnecessary snarkiness for other forums. I could have said "The most leveraged way to operate as a technology executive" but that's rather wordy. More than happy to engage with any substantive critiques you have with my point of view. It's what has worked for me, and it's based on my own experience.
Oh! Story time!

We had a similar thing at one gamedev place that I worked at where and email would go out to the team if you left your computer unlocked(I forget the exact phrase but it was fairly silly).

We had shared offices and one of the programmers had the office right next to the kitchen. One day we all heard the senior programmer shout "WHAT THE FUCK!" and all ran over to see what had happened.

It turns out one of our engineers had walked into the kitchen and left his computer unlocked. The senior developer seeing this had opened up outlook, started a new message and began typing in the subject. What he didn't know is the developer had hand-rolled a keylogger with a match pattern for the message that everyone would send and dispatched Windows+L via key injection to the main window loop.

The trap was sprung and the machine locked right in front of him as he typed the last letter unable to send the email.

There was all sorts of other shenanigans at that place(like a fake "April 2nd" firing, they got the person who did that back with an annoy-a-tron over a 6 month period) but that was one of the more memorable ones.
I fell for this scam...
I've been even dealing with their customer support and they've been answering all my emails. They know exactly what kind of game they were playing. They were polite and were answering the right thing and were never really lying.

I hate them...
I had the same thought when I was 18 (now I am 19)...

You can come to understand the world from your perspective... But, to have a deep and complete knowledge of how the world works, you would have to have omniprescence (the ability to transport yourself to any part of the world) and to be able to get into the thoughts of all people, observing all possible perspectives to reach a final conclusion...

This just to understand the "modern world", with this you could approximate the "why" and the "how" our world works.
This cat is right. Bitcoin's claim is saving the world from poverty and making right what gov currencies are doing wrong. It has failed on all fronts. It's a 1st world profitting cry room that used the 3rd world has a sacrificial lamb news piece.

Bitcoin has become a polluting ponzi scheme in the grand picture. All it did was help some people who said, "why are those people rich? I should be rich. I'm going to use a new currency to become rich."
I think this is a very interested observation. It's not very practical however. I have some first hand experience with the rediculos amount of paperwork involved with book-keeping. This is not something I would like to deal with as a private citizens. There must be a better way to normalize the tax system that involves less bureaucracy and paperwork.
I run CM too. I killed my G+ account when I found it difficult to change my privacy settings. Not being able to rate apps pissed me off.
> viewing the less-industrialized world as a philanthropic playground for the rich

So, you have nothing to bring to the discussion other than some silly moralizing.

If Richard Branson could fix global warming while keeping a silly grin on his face, tossing around a beach ball, would you pat him on the back like he's expecting you to do and tell him how great he is, or would you rather he just sit down and shut his stupid face because obviously global warming won't respond to such a simplistic approach? Even if it does?
What are the KYC requirements? I'm going to assume that it's none, since it's privacy focused

Not the parent but I actually have a lot more flexible time at the moment because I'm not traveling and I'm just dipping in and out of virtual events rather than attending them.
I have this problem. My problem is when I see this question I freeze and then I come up with a solution like this.

That is only true for the v16 preview build.

Their OpenJDK 11 builds are x64 for Windows, Linux, and macOS: https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk
There are also many places with much more expansive libraries. Like the flagship in Helsinki (yes its funny to have a flagship library) https://www.oodihelsinki.fi/en/
> I have a hard time wrapping my head around why companies are mandating 100% return to office.

Will they though? If some companies don't, that will be a major reason to change jobs for the better employers (who value your flexibility).
I think an Antifa/socialist/anti-capitalist phone would look very different from Twitter or Tumblr. It would in some ways, maybe look similar to a very pro-privacy/anti-Big Tech phone the way the FSF and some other groups see things (which isn’t to say that everyone who follows the FSF is a leftist or that everyone who identifies as more left of whatever center you want to choose supports the FSF, because that obviously isn’t true), against anything with a proprietary or closed bent.

Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, etc., for better or worse really don’t represent a left or right ideology. They represent the mainstream. Now, you or I may find that mainstream too conservative or too progressive, but I do not believe that any of those platforms are ideologically driven one way or another (even Tumblr, where the userbase is historically younger and thus more leftist, banned porn (a distinctly anti-leftist move) and has historically had a much more laissez faire attitude towards banning users than many left-leaning people would like…). It’s important not to confuse the userbase that is most visible on a platform for the platform itself).

The Freedom Phone isn’t targeting run of the mill conservatives. Those users are just fine using their iPhone or Samsung. It’s targeting people who are zealots and convinced the world is against them. It’s targeting Q Anon believers (tho not exclusively) and people who think Fox News is too left of center. That’s why it’s a grift. It is targeting people who would rather adopt something that is a scam, just because it agrees with their idea that the system is rigged and everyone is against them.

As chipotle_coyote says, there are, for whatever reason, less scams aimed at leftists. I don’t think it’s b/c the group on the right is any less intelligent, but because the nature of this sort of culture tends to be that the left eats its own, so selling a specific grift to them is a lot harder.
Interesting - you basically have a case of co-authored theory on the Wikipedia pages.
Sounds like an amazing place tbh. I’m assuming writers of the time exaggerated things a little.
I enjoy reading things like this. It formalizes a lot of intuition and provides a precise vocabulary.

The issue I have is when your superiors (tech lead) seems to lack this intuition, let alone awareness of these formalized concepts. How do you work through those scenarios? Just build the "bad way" at their discretion? You can't exactly tell them to "just read this article" or recite a bunch of snippets at them. You could, but I don't think anyone would find that compelling.

I'd be happy to build "the bad way" if the decision makers bore responsibility for the consequences, but I'm not going to last long on-call for a rube Goldberg system I had no say in, so I tend to move on.
Thanks for sharing lukastyrychtr
Glad it worked out for you—it seemed like the features are there for basic image conversion, but try to do something a little more sophisticated and you run into some severe design limits. Here is the kind of underlying problem I’m talking about:

> If that were true we'd see very public figures who own ocean front properties sell them, and we'd see ocean front property prices plummet.

Humans are really good at ignoring problems until they come to a head. Even when that happens, they try to bargain around it - just look at flood plain insurance.
‘Many’? Like what kind of code paths?
I guess you've changed your landing page after the suggestions here, but the first question "CEO or CTO?" seems like a great filter. My reaction was "No I'm not, so does that mean I should't look at this program?"...
I frankly don't trust hibernation on any computer, using any operating system. Too much can go wrong, and testing it is so hard that I don't think any organization really has it solved. It's also hard to beat the power drain of "off".

If you shut down the computer when it's not in use, the problems stated never happen. That's not a solution everyone will use, I guess, but it completely eliminates the problems and is very simple to do. I wish more problems had "simple and complete" solutions :-).
Facebook happened roughly on the same time as Gmail.
I haven't thought about tips in a while... definitely part of the "magic" of STM. Cutting a wire under tension sounds like it was a pretty common technique, it's the one my lab was using too.

If the imaging just wasn't happening, it was common to goose the bias voltage (10x) for a split second in hopes of perturbing the tip enough to get things to go.

It's a mantra of stock trading to buy on rumor and sell on news. This report was likely already priced in based on estimates.
There were two stdlibs in D1 (the official one called phobos, and tango which had a more "java-like" feel). I haven't been following D for years, but it looks like Tango sort of died off when work on D2 started to get traction[0]

Somehow most of the time when there is something bad systematically happening in the US it is almost always associated with government legislation. In my opinion it is largely because of intention based policies as opposed to outcome based policies. We rarely investigate what was the outcome of a policy and just doubling down on failed ones.
I think there is, but I cannot find it right now. If you make a post on internals.rust-lang.org, I bet someone can point you to the right place.
F# has a much more primitive type system than Scala and isn't particularly impressive imo. And it doesn't have functors ala OCaml.
So next step for cloudflare is to provide a cloud.
I use htmx, just pointing Hotwire will be similar.

With this kind of library, your rust code is the same as processing regular html forms, is only the HTML that need to be annotated.

MAYBE you could optimize partial rendering detecting just the portion to change:

But I not bother with that.
>What happened?

My theory involves the period where the line between "internet" and "regular" media evaporated. All media now considers the internet a first-class delivery platform. That wasn't compatible with the idea that the things on the internet default to being understood as frivolous and untrustworthy.

Like, yes, on a purely technical level it's compatible. We did once have an internet where it was the job of every single person or media outlet to earn their legitimacy to an audience who had a default-ignore attitude.

In practice, it was an incompatibility that caused force vectors in the world to evolve towards a solution. The goal condition being that frivolous "offline" media could go online without being exposed as frivolous bullshit. And the answer that fell out of the system was that everything became all serious all the time.

I don't have a good explanation, this idea is kinda fresh in my mind. But I think it's the forest containing the trees I used to complain about.
Thanks for your reply. Please speak to both if you can--I appreciate any insights you can share.
Too bad the new "Erlang and OTP in Action" book leaves gen_fsm out of scope.

Anyway gen_fsm behavior is pretty weak comparing to FSM frameworks I used in C++: no on_entry / on_exit callbacks.

Also, I'm not sure you can use gen_fsm sequentially by itself (i.e. without Erlang process).
Time magazine considered Bin Laden, but decided he was a minor leader who got incredibly lucky in his plot. Guiliani got it instead.
It seems that we're skirting the elephant in the room here - the POTY issue of Time is a huge deal for them. There's tremendous amounts of ad revenue associated with it and there's a lot of pressure on them to put together an issue people want to read.

Yes, Assange made a distinct impact on the news and world events this year, but his face has been all over for this reason and that for weeks, and I think people are kind of sick of it. On top of that, he's hardly what one would call media friendly.

Facebook may seem like old news to us but, IIRC, it was this year that they crossed the 500M user mark. That's a pretty big deal. It sucks up 700 billion man-minutes a month, and that's only getting more out of control.

In hopes of avoiding a rant, let's just say this: if you had to write a major, year-defining (culturally, and for your publication) profile of someone, would you do it about the media figure with a hit movie "about" his life or the guy who has a tendency to walk out on interviews when he doesn't like a question?
Your ordeal with immigration reminded me of the importance of the startup visa.
It's a UI template for creating Google-like apps (ie, Gmail). Not directly related to Google App engine.
Notice my comment about you conflating people talking about the embargo specifically, rather than about Cuba's internal politics.
If this could work for an arbitrary number of artists sharing the same subsidiary, sounds like a business opportunity.
This looks cluttered.

I'd suggest layout similar to fmylife.com. You don't need to require an account for people to use. Allow commenting, only those logged in can comment ? (Just thinking as I type).

I'm wondering if this would be more interesting if users generally had a more playful tone. "Trying to finish studying, but 30rock is too addicting!"

This comes close to a more specific twitter though, but similar sites exist (thathigh.com, fmylife.com, probably more).

Take all of this with a grain of salt. I am just typing whatever comes to mind.
Is there a better viewer for lttng than the lttv gui? I got spoiled by QNX's amazing tracing infrastructure and analysis tools and long for something similar on Linux.

Nouns versus verbs. A big list of what isn't meaningful if the presentation is such that people can't use it effectively. Most folks just want to get the job done or be able to play around without being pulled away from playmind by a nitpicky interface. Even if all the desired features are present, a poor design can make the product unusable or frustrating.
How to remove Red-eye in photoshop: http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/photoshop/ht/apsredeye.htm

How to remove Red-eye in Picasa
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/picasa/ht/redeye.htm

Both pieces of software can remove redeye. For Picasa the instructions boil down to "Click the Fix Red-eye button" whereas Photoshop involves layers, Gaussian blur, saturation, eye droppers.

Which would you say is more accessible for someone maintaining a photo album? Photoshop has more features, but Picasa is more useful to me (in a certain context, obviously.)
Along those lines, I think that Rubyists would really benefit from a "Fundamentals of Unix for Rubyists" book (well, not just Rubyists, but you know what I mean). I'm thinking a book at the same level as The Well-Grounded Rubyist--essentially a translation of CSAPP into Ruby. What are the fundamental abstractions that the OS provides you?

I know that for me personally, having gotten into programming via Ruby rather than an academic CS background, practically everything having to do with Unix felt like magic. What's a process again? How do pipes work? Wtf is TCP? Everything is a file?
I agree with that statement generally.

One (sort of) case in point is American Apparel. While they are now in deep shit (nearly going to bankruptcy but just got rescued), they were doing pretty well for a few years as a vertically integrated apparel maker, with a factory in downtown LA.

Hard to think of other examples.
I'm using my MBA (no upgrades, lowest end model) for my daily routine as a designer, and it's holding up perfectly well. I am mostly just running Photoshop, Illustrator, Textmate, and a few browsers. Hell, I was even able to play Portal 2 on this thing. It's definitely the best $1,000 I've ever spent on tech, and I'm a Windows guy.

The only downsides are if I have a bunch of large files open in Photoshop and Illustrator, I might have to save and close some to keep things running smooth. When I'm plugged into a 27" display, some things are not quite as smooth.

So yeah, I'd rather be working on a faster desktop system (though the benefits would be minimal), but I can close this, bring it home, and continue working with the same workspace.

And the monitor is better than my Dell 22" I have at home.
I just gave the Japanese to English a quick check, and it's no better than Google or anything else I've seen. And by that I mean it completely loses the meaning of anything but the most simple sentences.

I know Japanese to English is going to be harder than languages with similar structure, but I'd still expect machine translations to be farther along than they are now.
Hi!
Yes, pfs is designed with the "batteries included but removable" ethos in mind and is only loosely tied to CoreOS. Getting it to run on Kubernetes and Mesos is something we're definitely going to do at some point in the near future. I've set up an issue here: https://github.com/pachyderm/pfs/issues/29 for tracking this effort feel free to stop by and discuss!

Also if you'd prefer email drop me a line at jdoliner@pachyderm.io.
