An enterprise client of a cloud vendor will have dedicated account technicians - response time is extremely fast (minutes or hours). Perhaps things have improved compared to some of the other comments here.

The other consideration is that things generally don't just 'go down' like they do with bare metal (because HA - replication and so on), but if they do, it's likely affecting a large portion of the internet too.
Speaking engagements are more than lectures. You meet with people and talk over lunch/dinner/drinks. You build an actual relationship with the regulator so that when you have a problem, you already have a good report with them.

You can only do this when they are not officially working for the government of course. But government/consulting is just a revolving door.
yes, and at the very least something went very wrong with the choice of quoting.

your argument has validity against a single blanket federal minimum wage, but it fails to address the fact that the federal government has a legitimate interest in (living) wage levels (again, because of its jurisdiction over interstate/international trade). states also have an interest in wage levels. the balance being debatable is my point.
I think the biggest problem is that thr representative becomes a remote entity that you know mostly from campaign ads and not as a member of your local community.
Given the vagueness of the announcement, one may wonder if it's custom consulting masquerading as a product.
Hopefully a number within reason. I could see some states protesting congressional salaries by having thousands of representatives.
I agree that we should not be dangling appealing but actually disastrous choices in front of people, particularly if they aren’t educated enough, or aren’t provided enough information up-front in order to make an educated decision.

This is true in everything from investment opportunities (SEC with Registered Securities, and the higher bar for selling to unaccredited investors), to mortgages ($0 down with no income verification and a teaser adjustable rate), to food or drug safety (you don’t have to know how to check that food or drugs are safe at the grocery store or pharmacy) and generally you want it to be true of work opportunities as well — not that this is necessarily going to be the best use of your time, but that you know at least it should be safe and at least minimally profitable.

Personally I think many drivers make very good money on Uber, and also on the food delivery apps, in particular for how those apps fit their lifestyle and their preferences for when/how they want to work.

When it gets to be a bridge too far is if you exceed the baseline minima, and start telling people their preferences for how they want to work are wrong, or assuming everyone who disagrees with you just doesn’t know any better.

Groovy's still just a dynamically-typed language primarily used for scripting. It has statically typed extensions but they're not used very much. Groovy's used for scripty stuff like the 20-liners you find in a Gradle build script, but you don't find Groovy in Gradle's own codebase, only Java. Despite the heavy promotion since Groovy 2.0, developers aren't using statically-typed Groovy, but dynamically-typed Groovy is doing fine in Grails, Gradle build scripts, Java class manipulation, etc, everything except building systems. I wouldn't even be surprized if the newer additions to Groovy's own codebase like the Android stuff are written in Java rather than Groovy, despite statically-typed Groovy and Groovy for Android having the same author. That would be the ultimate vote of no confidence in Groovy's statically-typed extensions.
Any way how to automatically mirror an external Git repo to GitHub? Any webhooks for that?
I think there should be a "Fixed" in the title.

The question now becomes, for how long was this vulnerability known and exploited secretly?
It seems to me, that you are exactly doing what I suggested: Provide the platform and let them make experiences on their own.
Thanks MegaLeon. I will update in future.
I haven't seen a political comment thread on a major site which hasn't been polluted with astroturf in the last 2 years or so. Anything regarding Russia is particularly obvious but they are all at it. Then again, when enough regular commenters are just parroting talking points there's not much distinction.
A computer can win chess, not invent it.
Nor should you be. But I think Alice will do better than Mario. All Mario does is talk about his feelings. Alice can do that too.
Although the tests only cover a tiny subset of HTML5 cases that IE9 supports, I like the approach. If each browser had a test suite that they passed 100% and could run against the other browsers, it would be an interesting way to move towards compatibility.
I'm in the same position, had an app out for a while now. Released it for free for two weeks, seen INCREDIBLE numbers -- almost 200K downloads -- then back to paid, and... fizzle.

Does anyone have any experience in marketing apps? I would love to know which methods have the most results.
I'd say 75 percent or more of phone screens clearly couldn't be arsed to read my cover letter before getting on the phone with me.

100% of the time I've been asked to do a phone screen, I've been given a resume but no cover letter. You can't count on the cover letter getting past HR.
This won't cure the desease, however, in the mean time this might help you get work done:

1) Never stop desiring the things you want. (re evaluate how you may reach that desires but never stop desiring important things). A burning desire will pull through to accomplish much more than you can do with apathy. Read http://books.google.com/books?id=c86H36mgiM4C&lpg=PP1... if you have the strength/time

2) Hemmingways Hack: http://www.secondactive.com/2009/08/boost-your-productivity-...

3) And finally the Pomodoro Technique http://www.pomodorotechnique.com This has hemmingsways hack built in. If done right (read the PDF) it is amazing.
I disagree, every new server or desktop I setup has bing as the default search engine, before switching them to google, I'll sometimes try my search in bing and be horribly dissatisfied. I may have learned how to search on google (in a way to get better google results) but I can't figure out how to get Bing to give me what I'm looking for.
The malpractice liability would make this very difficult for doctors, I'd think.

And yeah, don't discount the layman. Some of us really aren't kooks, and some doctors are. The point of crowd sourcing here would be to replace an artificial quality metric (possession of an MD) with an organic one.

What the medical establishment would think of this is a puzzler. Well -- no. They'd hate it with the heat of a thousand suns. But more to the point: what are the legal challenges to running this kind of service? I dunno. I'm not sure I want to find it out.

But if somebody does, I'll be happy to write it.
How can they detect the programming language in use other than by looking at .php, .aspx, .jsp, etc? You won't see this on a most professionally-authored sites that use a router and RESTful URLs.
Is there a way to use Bing background automatically for Google?

I feel as though most of the psychological issues and poor decision making I experienced when I was younger were because I thought of myself as a fundamentally rational person, and refused to examine the irrational things my brain was doing.

This made it more or less impossible for me to address harmful emotions (because emotions are irrational) or problematic behaviours (because I don't make irrational decisions), which led to some bad times, to say the least.

Our brains are basically not wired to be objective or rational. While the human brain has developed the ability to think rationally, there is a considerable amount of the kind of "gut level" machinery that kept us alive before we developed this ability lying around.

Without careful introspection and a willingness to admit that many of our thoughts and behaviours are, without careful examination, going to be deeply irrational no matter how much we believe in rationalism, we tend to act on our irrationality to our own detriment, and often to the detriment of others as well (remember when Colbert trolled Bush by saying they were both "guys who think with [their] guts"?)
> In a repeatable build environment it can add tens of minutes of delays to a build as these tens of thousands of files aren't free. (And that was on a VM by one of the big providers, with top notch bandwidth.)

Why would you be pulling modules in from an Internet based repo on every build?

> Just even doing a local copy of so many files can take a while.

That means your cloud provider has poor file I/O performance, which is not unusual.

No idea how reliable they are, but that's always the danger when you buy anything from a small shop. I don't like the look of is as I can't find any corporate information about the store on their site, but it's no worse than buying anything else online.
maybe Google, FB, Amazon are victims of their own 'successful ML algorithms' or some sellers that are gaming the advertisement system?
People who claim that they have nothing to hide either haven't thought that concept fully through or are psychopaths.
Google banned the devs Google account and after 3 weeks of being unable to talk to a human about it and get it fixed he cancelled the Stadia port.
This sort of thing works on any QMK keyboard.
When I was a kid, Watergate was the lead story on the news every single day for well over a year.

I grew to really hate hearing about Watergate, Watergate, Watergate, blah blah blah.

I imagine kids today are similarly sick of politics today.
Sorry, I was just quoting the last sentence in the article.
I didn't. I used the asm.js version.
It is currently Kleiner 8, Pao 4. She needs 9 to get a judgment in her favor. One of the jurors that voted for Pao on all counts has to leave the jury on Monday if the trial is extended at which point they will be replaced with an alternate.

Pao has no chance here.
At the same time, we should avoid using specific cases as proof that there is institutional bias, just as we should avoid using specific storms as proof of climate change.

Of course, then all we have to work with is overwhelming statistical evidence for both issues, and that never convinces anyone.
irc of course :)
Oh, I see, no true Scotsman. Great argument.
And think of all the lost phosphorous, for Ford's sake.

Cold bitcoin wallets are supposed to be malware proof. If you have a piece of logic on a machine that never connects to the internet you have no way of stealing the private keys.

Similarly you can't just modify the message because the user can verify the destination address before committing it.

This is a method of sending out the private key within a normal looking message that no one else can detect (not even the person doing the offline transition).
I would say, you can struggle with such a task because of two different personal shortcomings: Missing skill or "psychological reasons".

If it is just missing skill: Find the best way for you to practice and practice. Just retrying will get you somewhere.

If it is not a missing professional skill, but a psychological reason, which blocks you, is different. I would say, you first need to realize the exact thing, which hinders you. After you identified that, find a way to circumvent it. This is more difficult, but everyone faces it, so there are many resources about. I personally think acknowledging that your brain is just a human machine, which acts in some situations in some way and can get triggered into different states is key. Most of the time it is not about willpower.
Looks very interesting, though their protocol seems very MQTT-like. I'd be interested whether they considered (and rejected) other protocols before writing their own).
Sure, just don't use it then.
If By reshaping,they slowed a photon, is a photon the optimal shape in nature, or could you speed it up by reshaping?
Throwing out support for HTML-only browsers is not a prerequisite for authoring a reactive UI with JS. Using Next.js, react-static, or even plain ReactDOM’s renderToString() you can generate static HTML+CSS for your pages, which would then be hydrated and become interactive only in user agents with JS enabled. Authoring components with awareness of that, you can degrade gracefully while reaping the benefits of type checking, reusable components etc. at development stage.
I learned how to program at school in 1973, when I was 17 on a machine similar to this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9800_series#Second_generati...

It may seems a toy, but it was not, it had 8K bytes. It was a time where big computers in France had 128K bytes RAM.

What is astonishing is that it was in Vannes, a small town in Brittany, in the west part of France.

I often wonder how the Math teacher was able to get such a computer in his school.
By that I mean shitty, unstable internet. It grinds my gears, yet I can't accept it and do something else.

If the internet is entirely gone, I'll read a book or do something else.
If I understand correctly (from a quick browse of the docs) this is Ruby _without_ anything remotely like Rails. That makes it interesting.

I did a Rails job once. I kept thinking that I liked the language as a kind of modern OO language in the spirit of Python (and also Lua a bit) but I really disliked the ecosystem around Rails. For instance, the project I worked on had to maintain two separate versions of Ruby because different gems worked with different Ruby versions (it's been a while so I don't remember details).

Another thing that bothered me is that everytime I searched online for help to do something slightly more advanced in Ruby my search results were inundated with "hello world" style posts from aspiring Rails devs eager to advertise their passionf or Rails. I could never find the information I wanted, so I had to do everything the hard way.

Overall I had a horrible experience with Rails though I'm sure it's far from that bad for most. Anyway it's refreshing to see a cool use of Ruby without the Rails.
The interesting thing is how even the author never fully understood academia. Two of their points are actually interesting in this regard: “Naive view of the world” and “Unclear communication” are actually not at all representative of academia but of amateur academics: someone who has just done a PhD and (arguably not a good) postdoc would come to these conclusions. A person who has written grants, gone to conferences to publicise themselves and sat through grant and tenure review panels would not come out of it with any naive view of the world, only possibly the opposite. And a person who cannot write or present concisely will very quickly get weeded out of academia or relegated to a corner where they are not disturbed much.

I have sat through job talks given by postdocs from Nobel laureate labs and have never seen a more impeccable presentation of ideas in such a concise manner. Once my professor spent three full days working on 6 slides she was going to talk about for five minutes. The majority of the time my professors spend is on the politics of grants and spending and hiring more than actual science and that was actually the biggest issue. None of these sound naive or meandering to me!

If this author’s experience is the opposite this suggests my suspicion about biotech entrepreneurs - they’re often people who got out of academia a little too early and with a view of it that’s far too amateur. Not defending academia at all but I can only wonder if that selects for the type of person that might be more or less suited for entrepreneurship.
Ocean based launches that are resilient to angry governments sending a warship to your launching pad are probably quite expensive.
This appendix is pretty much filled with lies and misrepresentations of his statements. Please avoid spreading it. It is pretty much "fake news".

>"RMS has spent years on a campaign against using people’s correct pronouns."

This is false.
Yeah, I intentionally used mozillas Modern preset from their SSL Configuration Generator. I'll look at scaling it back to their Intermediate preset.
> Arguably, reasoning why to go to university feels more like rationalization rather than supporting evidence. It's definitely not physics.

Ironically, basically all physicists of the last ~100 years went through university in order to study physics. What do you think was their "rationalization"?
I mostly do colo's, but I've used iWeb and Softlayer in the past. But pretty much any data centre operator has their own cloud offerings today.
Probably not as much for the customer as for the company. When sites are unreliable, people end up going to the more reliable competitors as they arise.
Examples are offered in a number of languages. And the snippets offered are of such a form that you seldom need to know the programming language to read the snippet and get the point.
I'm sorry. The only question that I see is to unpack "install", which I take as a figurative expression meaning to analyze something into its component elements. I broke down everything that I meant to imply by the word, so you'll have to ask a different question.

Edit to reply below: your probability analysis ignores Elop's improbable behavior as described by hollerith above. And, again, this is not my explanation (this conjecture was all over threads discussing the deal the day it was announced). I'm not even saying that I buy into it, although I do have to acknowledge that people involved with deals in the billions of dollars are seldom strangers to opportunism.

Or when you eat your meat raised on corn raised on petroleum based fertilizer. Or when you realize that 70% of your waste is plastic. Or when you realize that the reason 'they don't build 'em like they used to' is because they build 'em all out of plastic nowadays or other petroleum derivatives.

Filling up your car is the least of the problems. You can take transit tomorrow. You can't stop eating.
It's great! The music isn't the kind of thing I could listen to very much, but I like the idea.
Hmmm... No love for wercker.com ? That because they are still in beta?

"Complexity vs production" is a false dichotomy.

Abstraction, which is fundamental to programming, is a means of managing complexity. The complexity isn't eliminated; irrelevant parts of the problem are just swept under the rug.

Mount's gripe about automated build systems is essentially that if and when the system does something wrong or inefficient, the users have no way to cope with it. System correction is a vendor burden, not a user burden. One needn't be a compiler/builder/etc. expert to compile a program; non-engineers drive cars all the time.

Suppose the vendor did its job and optimized the build process.

The example of how if one isn't around, one can't automate that GUI-driven build process is weak. A network/clock-listening macro fixes it. Writing that program/macro is probably "building a shelf," but it's the path of least resistance. Dropping the GUI to learn the make stack is also "shelf building," because it's extrinsic to your problem (shipping). The resultant shelf is more generally useful, but you've made a time trade-off.

In cases where one's stuck with that type of IDE, it's a good trade. (I'm aware this may be somewhat begging the question, as the thrust of the article is to avoid adopting that development environment to begin with.)

"Do not reward building shelves unless building shelves is your actual business." There're cases where one can't avoid shaving a couple yaks. Not everything can be done in one step. Incremental reward systems aren't weren't shown hazardous by the article. Some of those shelves may help you not only on the current project, but may be useful in the next. (E.g., having learned the make stack or building that GUI automator.) Why should that work be unrewarded?
Doesn't make sense. When has Apple competed on normal terms? They always find their own sweet spot and have interesting perspective for everything.

They don't sell products, they sell experience and there surely is huge market gap for experience in TV. Just need to see how they do it.
Code samples and fixed width web sites don't mix, even if the code samples have horizontal scroll bars, which everyone hates anyway. This nleach.com site has a fixed width of 70em (which seems awfully low in general, and is measured with the width of the non-fixed font in the outer container, so the effective length of the fixed area is only 44 chars, at least on my system), and the longest code line is 170 characters. If anything, the user should be able to resize their browser window (rather than have to edit the CSS) to make it wider to see the content.

(I also wish HN had a more dynamic width for fixed width content and/or had a different way to specify fixed width font than just indentation, since people also use indentation for bulleted lists, which makes them really hard to read, especially on smaller screens).
I don't feel like somebody from TechCrunch is a good representative of all developers.
Interestingly, John Siracusa's latest episode of Hypercritical, "A Dark Age of Objective-C" touches on much of the issue of Apple's reliance on Objective C both for OS X and iOS, and argues that in the long term, it's extremely problematic. Highly recommended:

This is definitely an underemphasized point. It could turn out like the radical 60s and subsequent conservative backlash of the 80s.

It will eventually get old, either from a quick death (rejection of social altogether) or a slow death (commodification; Facebook/social media becoming a platform, like email).
Ah, that's fantastic. Thanks for the pointer!
