This is kind of why I like keeping them as dumb as possible. Let each of your repos contain a ./build ./test ./run and the ci does stuff based on those assumptions...

You're switching from rpms->k8s? Actually nothing has to change per repo for this.

Also it creates a nice standard that is easily enforced by your deployment pipelines: no ./run? Then it's undeployable. kthxbye etc..

This becomes important when you have >50 services.
Any day before today. Since the US is sliding down the freedom and freedom of the press index's every time they are updated you can always look back at More Freedom.
No, this is literally about about locking people even further into a closed ecosystem by increasing its utility. (And I say this as an Apple fan.)
Thanks for the insight. I strongly suspect the COBOL compiler buyers are really just buying ongoing support and updates. Open sourcing should result in minimal revenue impact, but shared code might make it quite problematic license wise. Wouldn’t blame them for turning down that headache.
Yay, just what we always wanted!
I've already closed the article tab, but she writes that the harasser was about to be promoted to management---specifically, her manager.
NYT is addictive as hell though. You can't look away, whether you are liberal or moderate.

Log on as a moderate and you will rage that the "paper of record" can spin such lies and obvious bias.

Log on as a progressive and you will rage because of the lies confirming our biases.

Outrage sells. The root cause lies in the reason why people need to seek entertainment and outrage from news, rather than from other areas in their lives.

I think it sustains itself because they are incentivized to go after left-wing outrage clicks to make money, but then there is always the fall-back of left-wing conviction: "I wrote this piece that wasn't accurate and may damage the paper's reputation because I need to make a stand for left-wing values and get pats on the back from my peers".

I don't think there is a single person left there who is thinking about the integrity of the paper.
If it destroys the broader economy to help .5% of people it doesn't particularly matter much how effective it was in helping that .5%.

This applies equally to the top .5% .
Yes,it doesn’t have anything to do with Excel, except Excel is there, has been there for 25 years and keeps getting updated and supported.

I can’t speak to what gets maintained in Excel, but compared to some Win95 program, it’s in much better shape.
Excellent point about the multiple components in products. Ppl don’t realize that there’s a plastic liner on their can of Coke (of course, that just gets burned off when the Al gets recycled)

About Germany’s “recycling” I despise it when “experts” talk down at ppl saying “white lies” because we’re too stupid to understand (Dr. Fauci, I’m looking at you buddy).

Burning plastic isn’t recycling and Germany’s neologism is sophistry.

But it is a decent solution short of significantly increasing the price of plastic. That’s assuming you burn it correctly. And correctly burning it requires very high temperatures to get rid of dioxins. It means making sure to reduce as much as possible Chlorine sulphuric and Fluorine in the feedstock. It means having excellent NOx filters. It means having super tough monitoring of the emissions
Break the integral from 0 to infinity as a sum over the intervals demarcated by zeros of (sin(x))/x. Since the integrand is always positive or always negative on such an integral, and the area under the curve is decreasing in absolute value, you can use the alternating series test. (This is a bit clearer if you graph it with e.g. Wolfram Alpha.)

Note that it does not converge absolutely, however.
I want to piggyback on this question and ask the community in general. How does asp.net core compare to Django / Ruby on Rails for creating this type of SaaS. Asking specifically for speed of development.
Recycling is like startup stock grants. It's maybe a nice bonus but is a 0 in expected value calculations.
Despite being perhaps the most benign example anybody could come up with off the top of their head, In-N-Out has actually already been targeted as having racist and ageist hiring practices:

The class action suit, brought by a Berkeley law firm, claims that the Irvine-based fast food chain with the cute paper hats "recruits, hires and maintains a work force that is predominantly under the age of 40 and/or non-African American." Out of 210 locations and thousands of employees, "very few" are older than 40 years old or black. The suit is also calling for a payout in the form of back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages on behalf of everyone over 40 and/or not white that In-N-Out has wronged with their allegedly unlawful hiring practices.

https://sfist.com/2012/09/06/new_lawsuit_accuses_in-n-out_bu...

I suppose that, by implication, it would be par for the course for their corporate culture to be accused of supporting white nationalism by anyone looking to nail them on something.

Unless a company is aggressively promoting itself as anti-racist in a very public way, it's very open to this sort of criticism (regardless of whether-or-not there's any actual merit in it).
Sure, Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic issued currency that was mostly not backed by repayment obligations (they printed precisely because they needed funds far in excess of what they could tax) much like Bitcoin is almost entirely not backed by repayment obligations.

It is possible for a sufficiently incompetently managed central bank to create an asset almost as unlikely to be needed to make payments as your average cryptocurrency.
Hmm maybe I'm missing something, but why does this matter? For a long time, on Facebook, you didn't have a "username", you just had your "ID" in the URL. I'm just not sure how it could be exploited.

I'd be more worried about it being hosted in China than user IDs being unencrypted.
I think you see it everywhere because you essentially described exploratory science vs engineering. First humans understand how the physical world behaves, then they see if that knowledge is usable.
I understand your point, and yes, there is a somewhat unhealthy obsession with “heritage” in the US.
I hope by “charity event” you mean “an opportunity to give” and not an actual “event”.

Perhaps. Perhaps we will live every moment again and again forever.

But we still don't have any proof of anything supernatural.
By acting on his own fears RMS is hurting the project. World doesn't stop because he doesn't like something. It feels like RMS lost touch with reality. Companies that care for things impossible with gcc already use LLVM, and will continue doing so. Some don't work openly but that doesn't mean useful code won't be pushed upstream. What's relevant to all - more often than not will.

This is bad news for everyone because competition is good. I want two solid open source compilers. Look what happened with gcc error messages when Clang showed up: they were horrendous compared to what LLVM/Clang had to offer. So gcc had to catch up. But if it's impossible to compete in the race because RMS doesn't want to - everyone gets screwed. But I guess that for RMS it's a win-win situation: he'll have his proof that BSD-licensed software can kill one on GPL.
Come to think of it, I remember wishing for something just exactly like this library when I was in college! There is something in what you are doing that bridges the gulf between imperative and functional programming. It's important work and I'm glad it exists in the world. So thank you!
Too many modules: datetime, time, calendar, dateutil, pytz and more

Yes. [1] Back in 2012, I filed a Python bug report that "datetime" has a formatter for ISO 8601 format strings, but no parser. I'd found four parsers, all with serious bugs.

After six years of discussion, it was fixed.[1]

That guy actually believed what he was saying.
It's tough to come to any conclusion from looking at eBay listings. Especially when many of the listings are from possible scammers.

Sort by "most bids" and set the minimum value to $100. Only a few have even a single bid, with just a couple having multiple bids. Also, the most expensive single-bid items all have sellers with no feedback. The market price is one that buyers are willing to pay, not just one sellers are willing to list.

You should probably call your mom anyway though. I'm sure she'd appreciate the chance to talk to you.
Yeah, but it only survives thanks to MixBus.

Most FOSS desktop software that doesn't have such schemes, or is able to have them, hardly makes enough for anyone to make a living out of it.
> (not having used Blender at all) I am skeptical Blender successfully replicated these workflows.

I don't quite understand why to wish for something without having tried out what's there?

> That video isn't using a tablet at all.

What leads you to say that?

In the description it literally says: "I use a graphics tablet to paint with..." Did you read that as meaning that he doesn't use a graphics tablet to, say, sculpt?

If so, I think that's a misreading. I own a graphics tablet that I use with Blender in part due to Grant Abbit's (the presenter) advice that it's really a necessity when it comes to sculpting in Blender. :)

> – you can bring up a "context menu" just by tapping a button on your pen, select a new tool by flicking your wrist slightly

That's a pie/radial context menu and one is shown within the first twenty seconds of the video: https://youtu.be/L3XtAFUWNuk?t=17

> If you have to design a UI that can do anything, it can't do everything well.

While that may be true, Blender's UI is more of a UI toolkit (in the not bad sense of the concept :) ) and the tabbed "workspaces" and/or "application templates" of Blender enable the UI to customized to the specific task at hand.

> Caveat: I've been out of the art world for around five years at this point, [...] I can say that Blender never once came up as a realistic option

Ah, okay, that's useful context--yeah, Blender today is not Blender from five years ago. :) The 2.80 release pretty much changed everything and there's been huge development effort in that time.

There's probably better examples of non-beginner focused sculpting in Blender but here's another teaching video from the same guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOSdRdeS5oM

And here's a video of the features that got merged into the most recent release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuSL1F9Sd78

Anyway, I think it'd be worth trying out Blender of 2021, if only to be able to be able to update your critique to aspects not currently available. :)
What you said about European dates (e.g. 27/02/2021 today) is not strictly true. The rightmost character is the ones digit of the year, and it is not the largest component. According to your rules, 01/01/2019 would be "larger" than 01/01/2021 because 9 is larger than 1.

The blog post already made this observation, saying that YMD is the only format where the endianness of the date components match the endianness of the numbers; DMY does not have this property. If you wanted to sort dates correctly on the right hand side, you need to write the numbers backwards too, like "72/20/1202".

I don't think the sellers want to stop it at all, because it boosts more demand for their product by creating a perception of scarcity and value.
The SEC didn't really lose its teeth, everyone else used all the prior court filings and outcomes as instruction manuals on how to accomplish the same things compliantly

Most of that time that just means a slightly longer disclaimer, or the timing of a transaction, or not talking about your awareness of a specific regulatory nuance
I take it as a sign of EU politicians writing laws that make a lot of content publishers on the internet making a choice of either walking on bureaucratic eggshells or simply blocking EU access altogether.

Also California.
illustration — whether drawings, gestures, animations, using objects, whatever works, but have a visual equivalent to 'translate' notation

This approach breaks down when you go into higher math. You end up working with these abstract objects that have no visual representation. You may be able to find an equivalent object from geometry or graph theory, but it may be so complicated you could never draw it. Heck, even basic shapes like the Platonic solids are difficult to visualize, let alone draw, correctly.

I solved a problem recently requiring me to count the number of vertex colourings of an icosahedron, up to rotational symmetry. Trying to draw one of these things and visualize all of the possible rotations was basically impossible for me. I ended up loading Blender and playing around with one in 3D, using the coordinate planes to see all the axes of symmetry.

If I had been given a higher dimensional object like a tesseract then all bets would have been off. I would have had to find another approach entirely, likely algebraic.
It does matter.

Jewish people portrayed as greedy is an existing stereotype with a sad history. There is no such existing stereotype for the people of Kazakhstan in the target audience of the movie.

Also, say what you mean. Raise eyebrows? So what. The last Star Wars movie raised some eyebrows. This thread already has enough people righteously missing points, so just say what you mean.
> There are objectively right and wrong answers in politics.

Usually not; policy goals are a matter of subjective preference. What policies maximize goals may be matters of objective fact, but most political debate is (sometimes under the surface of the rhetoric) disagreement about goals, not mechanisms.
> That is more than 10^77, pretty close to the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe, 10^80

Ugh. My pedant-bone is itching... That's not "pretty close" at all. There's a universe of distance between 10^77 and 10^80.
Have you talked to a lot of people who would be the customers/users of said "ideas" in an attempt to validate them? Remember, casually asking family, friends, or co-workers about such things is very unlikely to provide real feedback.

I have felt for awhile now that municipal fines and fees should be tied to income in the United States. Yes--there would be limits; for instance just because a person is poor doesn't mean they can continually break the law. If they abuse the system they couldn't use income
to reduce ticket/fee amount. A $500 ticket to a poor person,
in my opinion is cruel and unusual punishment. I would even
say it violates our 8th admendment. Yes, the admendment argument is extreme, but I don't think the powers at be understand just how little it takes to push someone over the edge? (Yes--I know you can plead your case in front of a judge on some infractions, but the courts aren't as accommodating as they were in the past.) In my neck of the woods, It cost's $10 to even begin to contest a ticket.
They're still bad, they've lost 8 more games than they've won (17-25) in the lesser NBA conference and wouldn't make the playoffs if the playoffs began today. The NBA is not starting a company, you can't identify needs and produce a solution for them. You have to wait around to be able to draft or sign or trade for elite players. Few basketball executives are good at this, it's extraordinarily difficult and involves a lot of luck if you are outside of a major media market. But there's really no evidence Jordan is doing any better as an owner/exec.
Can it be a money issue?
Remembering that WhatsApp is not free, the 1$ for a year of service should be how they make money (I think they did a very good job there because no one that I know remembers that).
Maybe the on-line phone solution suits them technically and economically, because they don't want to provide you with an alternative client that you might use for free.
As they say this is simply and extension of the phone client.
I see you're a BMW owner.
> (What are the guidelines on mentioning jobs in comments? As we've just advertised four developer positions...)

I'd say, it's definitely encouraged, as long as you don't go into spamming territory.
Based on the current public info, nothing can be confirmed completely or discounted completely.

Currently there are only two pieces that points towards the Sybil attack being used against Tor:

1. Some Tor Hidden Services were uncovered

2. The dates just happen to match dates a research project were running

But there is a lot more pointing away from it: the main points are:

1. The FBI already had a source in SR 2.0

2. It is easier to uncover hidden services using endpoint hacks rather than global deanon

3. Given the ability to deanon parts of the Tor network, the feds would have targeted the larger markets and got a lot more arrests. It isn't a coincidence they just happen to take down the sites with the worst software stacks, security architectures and operational techniques.
My first reaction was that it's stupid and pointless.

But my second reaction is that it's a clever culture hack that allows more efficient engines to make their way into typical "car lover" cars--so ultimately a good thing all around. Drivers get the sound they want, with better gas mileage, and the rest of us get cars that are quieter on the outside and produce less pollution. All enabled by a bit of digital audio.
> The point, of course, is that trying to create "one macro to rule them all" is already wrongheaded. There shouldn't be one universal iteration construct.

Tail-calls fit the bill. (And you can build things like reduce on top of them as normal functions.)

Signal is developed by a non-profit foundation. It comes with no ads or in-program begging, the community is just supposed to know that there is a foundation out there that has to be kept afloat. Really, this is no different from FSF/GNU development for decades now.
We've not shied away from chain link cages before, why start now?
I have a MBP13 from late 2013 connected to 2 1080p-monitors. One using a thunderbolt-hdmi cable and the other a thunderbolt-dvi cable. No thermal throttling or any other issues at all.
George Floyd was a common criminal coming down from a large fentanyl dose (nevertheless RIP), Ashli Babbitt was a military veteran acting in an expressly conscientious manner alongside a large gathering of other like-minded political activists. Surely these are both tragic losses, and yet the common criminal received immeasurably greater sympathies here and elsewhere. What's going on? Were BLM grievances not rooted in an equitable respect for the sanctity of life and an earnest desire for peaceful coexistence? Perhaps this explains the months of undirected destruction that followed across the country in the middle of what was represented as a dire pandemic? Maybe these people are hypocrites, useful idiots, bigots, and losers?
Them going out of business in 60 years doesn't mean we have to sit on our hands now.
Fundamental disagree. They didn't even scratch the surface. These buildings, the senators etc are all symbolic. They are expressions of the power relations, not the originators of it. Even if they do say stuff under threat, that would not have a real effect. It would be overturned by the Supreme Court or whatever.

There is no way to make Trump win this way and actually get obedience from the institutions of the country. They would just not recognize Trump, even if somehow senators, under duress, said he won.

It was 0 rods of the 7. Power is not in the buildings. It's in the network of interests of powerful people in the background across the country.
> The best way to ensure that your contest is actually winnable

This is definitely not a requirement according to some business owners. No shortage of faux competitions used to generate email signups around, even from reputable companies.
"I just want to see people be consistent with how they describe and respond to protesters regardless of the political affiliation of the protest."

You want people fighting in the streets for social and racial justice in the face of quantifiable repression to be treated the same as people storming the national Capitol to overturn an election result they don't like based on provable lies?
I'm interested in how many stay on WhatsApp. If 1000, in the poll are moving to Telegram, but 10,000 are staying on WhatsApp that changes the complexion of the result considerably.

But then I'm off the opinion petitions should collect both for-and-against responses; government petitions should be required to do so.
People look at you strangely and explain how browser URL bars search for you in all recent browsers, making the Google homepage irrelevant.

Maybe they explain how home pages and bookmarks and bookmarklets work and set one up for you.

Nobody explains anything technical; the sort of person who types Google.com into a URL bar in 2015 isn't very computer literate, and wouldn't care about the details - any details.
> I think this is typical for some kinds of products, but not necessarily typical overall.

I think it's typical for most products people buy. I'll do research and compare products/vendors when I'm purchasing a TV, but if I need sponges for the kitchen I'm just going to type "sponges" on Amazon and [most likely] purchase something from the first page of results.

We all purchase a lot more sponge-like products than TV-like ones.

Agreed. I don’t have anything near your experience, but I have done Haskell in production for two years, and other things for longer. And yet I always say I’m not smart enough to use a language like JavaScript, I need a dumb language like Haskell :-)

I think that's obviously a matter of opinion. I don't think Rust is hard to read at all, nor do I think of it as being particularly sigil heavy, but that's me. I think the syntax is probably unfamiliar for some, and familiarity is almost always what people mean when they say "readability".

Coming from c++, Rust was pretty familiar. PHP isn't that hard to read either.
Question: I viewed the site on my G2 and could not zoom or otherwise change the size. Why is that? Is this controllable using Inuit?

A plausible example is hiring a team to DDoS another State-sponsored infrastructure from outside of U.S. soil. Or hire some elite crackers to write custom software for them.

By then, hopefully civilization won't be bound to just the Earth.
Say the investigation of the recent riots and deaths discovers that people connected and planned on the sites you are talking about. Would that move you from your current position? It seems like it would take what I've said from a claim to a simple description of reality.
Sounds like there were operatives embedded in the crowd and knew where and what to go after. The damage is done.
I agree. I don't understand why we couldn't have closed the borders, had 2months of hardcore super lockdown and then been covid free. That's basically what happened in Melbourne. They had to do it twice because some idiot mixed with newly arrived travellers and spread it. But they're in a much better place than we are. Almost everything is open again.
