Hm yeah, that sounds like a bit of a hassle to set up (have it build where possible but not fail the build), but otherwise an elegant solution, since it would pass cleanly for people that have a suitable environment.
pyca/cryptography was an indirect dependency of Gentoo's package manager, Portage. Portage is written in Python. So by definition, there were users.

"was", because after this incident, careful review revealed that it isn't necessary, and dependency got removed. So yes, probably no users now.
I actually find this pretty interesting, as I read it as further evidence of Apple's inability to properly police the App Store for violations and scams.

> But Apple couldn't pull it down before curious aristocrats -- eight of them -- had purchased it. Six people from the United States, one from Germany and one from France dropped a grand for the gem in the first 24 hours it was available, Heinrich said.

This was shortly after the App Store opened, when it was theoretically possible for Apple to have reasonable awareness of its contents and respond to customer feedback. Clearly, the company wanted to protect its customers from getting ripped off. Likely, there were things added to their process for app review to prevent this from happening again in the future. But they can't possibly stay on top of all the edge and corner cases where an inexperienced reviewer misses a detail.

Am I saying that they can't do better than they do now? No. I'm not excusing their multiple failures. There are lots of obvious scams, such as high-cost subscriptions with dark patterns to induce accidental sign-up. But this sorta makes the case, to me, at least, that some degree of regulation needs to be applied to the industry. And until reading this, I was mostly against government types who don't understand the industry from stepping in.

Well, given that it already occurred and had an array of "serious entrants," I'd say you're both completely wrong and didn't watch the video.

Contests aren't all about recouping costs. It's not like the X Prize is going to mean a huge profit for the groups that win it.

Edit for context: Above poster was complaining that the grand prize ($1000) wouldn't recoup costs of building and that the entry fee (probably not even close covering the drinks costs) was too high at $45.
I wonder what's the positive effect of sharing the same Internet with the chinese. I never visit nor I know someone who visits sites from China.

Major ISPs from the west should definitely consider blackholing all traffic coming from there to avoid DoS attacks, spam, etc. – From my experience, this would mitigate spam by a 50% or even more.

I don't see why you would suspect such a thing. All iphones already have a unique identifier, and the device is associated with your itunes account. So, Apple has all the information they need to authenticate you.

I can see no evidence in the facts that they are following the model that you stated.
The article says nothing which actually supports the case that the "just-world fallacy" is fallacious. Hence it should be down-voted.

The only genuine 10x programmer I have ever met was the nicest, most humble guy you could imagine. He didn’t just crank out code, he saw patterns in things that no one else could until he pointed them out, and then it seemed obvious because he explained it so well.

But I have met many 1.1x programmers who act like the worst stereotypes of a 10x, and when the dust settles and someone has to maintain their rockstar code they have the net effect of a 0.1x.
Unfortunately, you're in bad shape as soon as you have your data in a Haskell list, since it's a linked list. It's suitable for small things, but if you want to go larger than that, you're going to need to use arrays or something. Haskell lists aren't just ordered in principle, they're ordered structurally as well because you can't randomly access them at all.

That said, for anything that fits in memory, it's so easy for a parallel map to preserve order that it probably should anyhow, and if it doesn't fit in memory it's still not that hard and probably a better default. (If you've got some sort of map with wildly variable compute times per element, then you could starve the thing that finally emitting them in order if you hit a very expensive particular element, and you could potentially have gotten better throughput if the rest of the system could just keep working around it and ignoring order. But I'd still expect order-preservation to be the default such that I'd have to tell my parallel map that it's OK to ignore order.)
Listening/observing and writing.

Listening/observing because you really need to understand why you build what you build and depending on what you are building you'll only figure out the "why?" if you listen / observe deeply without preconceived notions. I've tried to improve this skill for years and still struggle with it!

Writing because once you've absorbed the information, you need to synthesise it and there is no better way to challenge your own thinking than writing. I always thought I was good at writing until I read a few books about writing skills and then read a few books (both fiction and non-fiction) and assessed the quality of writing with these basic ideas in mind. Only then did I realise that I suck at writing. It's really hard to write well, but if you can write well you have the most powerful tool at your disposal as it can scale the thoughts and ideas of one individual to millions or even billions of people. It might also just convince a bunch of teammates to follow your lead :)
Simon Sinek identified a pattern in the thoughts, actions, and communication of great leaders like Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, or the Wright brothers.

He created The Golden Circle, a simple framework that consists of 3 concentric layers: WHAT, HOW, and WHY.

WHAT - Every leader can articulate what they, and their company, do. Since it's so straightforward, that is where they usually start.

HOW - Most leaders also explain how they do what they do. Their unique value proposition, differentiators, and values.

WHY - Few leaders make an effort to communicate why they do what they do: What's their purpose? Why does the organization exist? And why should anyone care?

The real breakthrough is the direction in which to move in the Golden Circle. You have probably guessed it by now. You're supposed to start with the WHY and move outwards, to the HOW, and finally the WHAT.
I don't see how ASCAP/BMI wouldn't get on their cases about using music without a license.
Yes the fact that Microsoft shares this information is concerning. But Microsoft only provides the information to Canonical (according to the ToS) for technical assistance and product support, but not for Marketing purposes.

Canonical is the one who violates trust here. Because they are using this information for marketing purposes, which they are not allowed to do under the information sharing agreement that they have with Microsoft.

So yes, we could argue whether Microsoft should be providing the installation information in the first place. It should at the very least be opt-out (on by default with the ability to not share), and preferably it should actually be opt-in (off by default, check a box to allow). So there is a violation of trust going on here, but this isn't any different than every other major tech company is guilty of right now (not that it makes it right).

But Canonical is the one that took the information and used it in a way that was never agreed to by either the person sharing the information (Microsoft) or by the user via the ToS (the ToS says that it is strictly for tech support, not for marketing). Canonical is the one that really overreached here.
This is just disgusting. I feel terrible just reading it. Like I'm invading this person's privacy simply by bearing witness to his pain at the hands of these imbeciles.

> How could Rob Pike--who is older enough than me to have been programming since at least before I was born (when he wrote the first window manager for Unix in 1981)--only have had 30k hours as of 2013?

Seriously I think it's more about you overestimating the actual time you clocked programming than about Rob Pike.

I'm 43, working mostly as an IC since 1997, really doubt I spent more than 15k hours properly programming rather than fussing with customers, estimating, documenting, testing, screwing around with infra or reading.
Yes, I don't see why not. The model would not need electric current, and the concentration of dissolved gas would be replaced with temperature.
There's nothing scientific. A friend hadn't ever dreamed in color before taking LSD, but after taking it and going to sleep later that night, they had a vivid dream in color. Since then, every dream they remember having has always been in color. They were very surprised and very certain.

That was some pretty convincing anecdotal evidence that LSD can cause permanent changes in certain susceptible people. It was an improvement in their case, but that seems like luck.
Can't reply to the below post (max nesting perhaps?)

I agree with the solution of constructing additional cities to an extent, though I can't speak too much about the US (British here).

What bugs me is seeing endless expanses of land within reasonable commuting distance of places like London that just aren't being used. There really is no need for people to have to move hundreds and hundreds of miles from their families.

I'm not even concerned that much about employment here, because a cheap home on cheap land would free people to work far less and/or simply retire after a few years in the Big City.
It's been three decades since I worked at Burger King but I remember the broiler being a really big piece of machinery upon which the rest of the kitchen workflow revolved. It might be possible to design something that segregates different types of patties but there certainly will be retrofit costs and likely some kitchens where many other fixtures must be relocated or replaced to accommodate the larger broiler. Which isn't to say they should be able to advertise a vegan burger if they're going to let it get contaminated with animal products. It's just not a simple fix, which might lead to Burger King deciding it's not worth the effort.

> In general, increasing pay into people at the bottom of the ladder

The bottom of the ladder is the unemployed, who make $0/h.

The good faith argument for no minimum wage is that those people would have a much bigger chance to find jobs and build job skills.
Good luck trying to hire someone. We are seeing Devops Engineers with 4 years of experience requesting >$150k (no in the bay).
People (including researchers) always use data from mega corp retail shops to measure the effectiveness of minimum wage while ignoring the thousands of other industries and lower end of the market of small companies who are not hiring at all and can’t be easily recorded.

I’ve seen a number of studies justifying minimum wage that only looked at major chain restaurants then used that to justify the hammer being justified on every company size, industry, full time/part time/temporary workers.

These are easy things to lie with statistics and cherry picked data.

These "apps" are all based around interaction with Google services. Maybe they could release open source versions of those, but then the users would be left with the hassle of having to pay Google for API accesses by the open source code they're running. Most users would simply not bother, and stick to whatever Google is providing for free.
Type 'research programmer' into google jobs or zip recruiter or something, go take a massive paycut to work for a cancer lab or other research area. No bullshit whatsoever, best job I had was as a 'Clinical Statistical Senior Programmer' in a lab with a bunch of doctors, paid barely more than a garbageman at $55k/year, but I actually enjoyed going to work where everyday you're digging into The Art of Computer Programming or reading some arxiv paper, you have no boss/CTO overlords pushing shitty abstractions like Kubernetes except 'this idea has to work, do whatever you want to make it work'.

As an aside: it looks like the timing diagrams in this article were created with a tool called WaveDrom. I've used this tool in the past and been impressed with what it's able to do in terms of creating nice timing diagrams for digital design documentation, a critical part of communicating how these designs (and interfaces!) are supposed to work.
To give a context to the younger readers, first, what of who Max Headroom was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_(character)

The original was not done with computers:

"the computer-generated appearance was achieved with prosthetic make-up and hand-drawn backgrounds. Preparing the look for filming involved a four-and-a-half-hour session in make-up, which Frewer described as "gruelling" and "not fun""

But it looked like magic at that time.

I did not say it was incorrect. I said it was not appropriate to single out one single group of a disparate grouping of victims. Why single out anyone, what purpose does that serve?

There is no definitive evidence about the exact number of inmates killed, and therefore there will be no definitive evidence about the proportional make up. Many records were destroyed and what has survived is from many second hand sources.

Therefore the figures seem to vary widely:

But I am not writing for Washington Post and so my comments will not be widely read. So why do you ask for sources from me but not this article.
while i agree that storing api keys in the code repository is not the best idea, i am curious about the suggestion of moving it into chef configs.

wouldnt that, in turn, also be stored in a code repository, likely accessible in the same way as the main coe repo? then, this feels like a non-solution to me.

The common answer: because al my friends are using it. I don't understand why people don't use SMS when most smartphone contracts come with unlimited messages now. Why send your info through ANOTHER third party? But my friends are using it for the group feature so unless I don't want to be left out of the loop I have to as well.

> "it looks like the UI for these Mac apps is wildly inconsistent and each app has a very idiosyncratic idea of how it should look"

Have you used an iDevice recently? Their apps are designed around the fact that they can have the entire screen to themselves, and this sort of reasoning is bleeding out into computer application development. Some of the designs there could well be iPad apps, if it weren't for the window borders.

It's strange that when I used OS X, I was told that the proper way to do things was to use floating windows instead of having everything maximised, and now Lion is encouraging full-screen interfaces.
Don't believe much of anything from TSN. It's based off The Accidental Billionaires, which in turn was based almost exclusively off Eduardo Severin's recounting of events. Given the role Severin has in the film, of the kind but naive kid who gets screwed by the evil genius, it's not hard to see that the portrayal of other characters might be similarly lopsided. Zuckerberg started facebook for the same reason most other people launch [successful] tech startups -- because it was interesting. He's been dating the same girl since before he launched facebook.

---

I just realized you might have meant that the initial idea of what facebook would represent to its users was a way to find chicks. That might be more likely, but I've never seen anything to suggest that's the case. I'd appreciate a source for that claim, if indeed there is a decent one.
I can't think of a better WYSIWYG editor than Word, and the world obviously needs one, not everyone is going to tackle the learning curve on LaTeX or Framemaker. I'm ok at LaTeX, but I'll use Word for a short job. LaTeX is hard and will trip me up, Word is hard to manage large documents in, so for small pieces of work, Word, for large, LaTeX.

And yes, my world would definitely not work without Excel.

I have seen this argument a lot, and it doesn't hold water.

Those STEM majors leaving the field often get salaries higher than people who majored in that field going into it. It seems that these employers value the STEM education moreso than people who major in the same field.

Second, it is entirely possible that these STEM majors voluntarily left the STEM field. More people are doing STEM but that doesn't mean more people are passionate about STEM. Engineering isn't for everyone, and I myself have thought about leaving the field and going elsewhere not because I can't find a job but because I want to.

I have experienced this as well. Perhaps coincidentally the type of language they're always obsessed with is a functional one. I've yet to see a dev who's rabid over mutable state. They're usually bonzo for free monads.

That being said, I've generally found people who are obsessed over a single "technological thing" at work (language type, language, framework, OOP dev principles) rarely produce anything of value. They're usually on a mission to prove themselves right at any cost. Flexibility and ingenuity are the keys to a productive dev career.
