You should always be very suspicious when a team of archeologists with a TV production team finds something new and revolutionary on the exact topic they were making a TV program about...

Seems a bit too convenient!

Especially when the evidence is a muddy hole nearly the same shape and size as a rock 150 miles away...

Oh, and look - it just so happens to be on the only farm you could get permission to dig on!
Another instance is the alleged ban on a Dutch person using the word "Die", which simply means "that" in Dutch [1].

However, I think, these two cases are different in nature from what is described in the column.

On one hand the real meaning is lost in translation which results in a misunderstanding. On the other hand we have a word used in a meta context. The second case is much more dangerous.

I think it’s a bit more than that, the bundesbank is more or less equivalent to the Federal Reserve, so they cannot default on any amount.
So just load the JS locally from a browser extension. I know MEGA (end-to-end encrypted cloud storage) has an extension for that. I'm sure other end-to-end encrypted web apps (ProtonMail, Bitwarden, etc) could do the same.

this is from today? meanwhile there was this story back on the 18th:

Ransomware Gangs to Stop Attacking Health Orgs During Pandemic

hmm..
I've spent the past 5 years with various blends of SASS, CSS, CSS-in-JS, Redux, Rx, React, Material-UI and a few other bits and bobs (and several years of front end dev with other tech before that, too).

I prefer by far keeping the CSS (or SASS) separate from the rest. React's mix of JS and HTML-ish is very comfortable, but I can't say I love it more than "native JS + some kind of templating". However, I'm absolutely certain that I prefer the CSS left outside the rest. My reasons include:

- you (probably) don't have to recompile the whole JS app to get your style changes
- it's much easier to see the relevant JS when you don't have to skip over CSS or lengthy class names
- it's much easier to see how bits of CSS relate to one another when they're in the same file (which I'll admit can make _some_ parts of that job harder, some of the time)
- when the browser's dealing with "proper" CSS, you can use the browser tools to test changes before updating the source files, skipping around the DOM, watching all the selected elements change (which doesn't always happen when you have CSS Modules style scoping going on)
- code editor tooling is usually better
- you don't have to remember whether you're writing your CSS in native CSS, snake-case, or JS style camelCase (I know some of the recent CSS-in-JS tech helps here, but why add a library to do something the browser already does?)
- you don't need to add libraries to do something the browsers already do
I’m talking about the magical data market.
Amazon Web Services (AWS - Game Technologies group)| Various roles | Seattle | Full-time, Onsite | https://aws.amazon.com/gametech/

I am the hiring manager or skip-level manager for all these open roles so feel free to email me with questions. We have mid to senior level software development engineering roles open as well as an engineering manager role. We work on cutting edge tech that helps games run on AWS and scale in ways they couldn't alone. I am looking for people with distributed service development (we do most of this in Java), game engine and development (C/C++), or low level systems development skills (Rust). There are various roles, I don't expect one person to be skilled in all those areas :) . We're building an all new AWS service, solving hard technical problems, and we get to have games as a customer, which is pretty awesome to me.

I'm so with you. I hate the function these are designed for, but it's so satisfying seeing such deeply-functional engineering. Like some kind of weird problem-solving porn.
I miss casual interactions while getting coffee.

Also exercise. All the gyms are closed and I haven't settled into a good routine yet.
Among other things, in the US, the Economist was the only news magazine which covered Africa and Latin America consistently.

If you were literate and interested, after being exposed to the Economist it was impossible to read Time, Newsweek or US News & World Report. It was eye-opening just how bad they were.
How does this change anything?

If someone has a problem with dogs, or anything else, then they are not qualified to perform a job that requires interacting with dogs, or whatever their particular disability involves.

They aren't being denied a right to work out of discrimination or prejudice. They simply can't do that job.

Here's the difference between that and prejudicial discrimination:

If someone does have either an allergy or tramatic stress issue with dogs, or whatever else, but for some reason they really want to do this particular job anyway, they still can. IF they want to deal with their problem theirself somehow, with allergy meds or meditation or plain iron will or whatever, as long as they can and do the job properly, no one will prevent them.

Discrimination & prejudice is I don't care how good you might be at the job, you still aren't allowed to do it (or are significantly and artificially disadvantaged) simply because you're female or black etc.

The drivers just don't like that the dogs mess up their cars and the smell displeases the next customer and affects their rating and tips.

The answer to that is tough shit. Don't take a job serving the public if you only like some people and not others.

This is the general store mysteriously always being out of flour or beans for the black family. Your freedom not to interact with people you don't like and who aren't violent or otherwise dangerous, comes only in the form that you are free not to operate or work for a business that serves the public. Go be a comic book artist or accountant or something where you don't have to let any filthy dogs into your house as part of your job.
Thank you. Yes, I just implemented this over the last two weekends and is very early. I plan to implement all the other fun *nix shell features.
> So if Java had just bloated their code and those apis code footprint represented a larger % of the overall they’d be guilty?

Under the fair use doctrine, maybe. Fair use in the US is literally about being able to use "limited" parts of a copyrighted work without getting permission from the copyright holder. What is "limited"? It depends, but 0.4% could reasonably be called limited.

> It seems to me the judge is saying, “the house was full of 10 tons of jewelry but the robbers only took 10 pounds so that isn’t really stealing lol “

Copyright and fair use apply to the creative substance of the work (in your example, the design on the jewelry, perhaps), not to physical instances of it (the actual pieces of jewelry in the house).
Only if the money can be freely moved.
These are the rules written by George Owell apparently, if you search, many links come up with the same wording.

I don't think any large tech company is capable of shipping a feature that quickly. Even for a feature as narrowly scoped as this, going from ideation to deployment in a few weeks seems completely unrealistic. There's just way too much involved aside from raw lines of code.
The GP post seemed to start with some interesting information but then instead of adding enough substance to become a good comment, it petered out—and then it went straight to flamebait. It's correct to downvote flamebait.

Contrary opinions are welcome but need to come with substantive information. Contrarian comments that just go "nyah nyah nyah" at the majority end up having the same effects as outright trolling. It's tempting to do that, because it's frustrating to be surrounded by opponents (which is what holding a minority view on the internet feels like). It's part of maturing as a commenter to resist the urge to lash out in such situations—which is in your interests not to do, since it only discredits the minority truth even further.

Past explanations about this:

This is good. PTSD should be added to that as well.

Dogs send me into panic and it would be a bad idea for the law to force me to drive against it. I mean, I would because it's the law, and as a result, you would be in danger.
I've just mentioned a concrete case of how one can subvert the letter of the law in order to suppress said free speech, with no free speech you have a very high risk of returning to tyranny (to use one of the terms most feared by the guys who wrote the Federalist Papers), and it is my understanding that that fear (among a very few others) permeates the whole basic law of the United States (i.e. its Constitution).

Things like "private parties", property rights, I'd say that even the idea of "government", come after that fear has been dealt with.
My underengineering method would be to just run a Mumble server on the LAN and join everything to it.

This also means you can do things like turn certain intercoms one-way, or certain ones into priority speaker broadcast mode in software client remotely.
it's treated like digital gold pretty much
Yes, someone from Brazil said exactly this (that WhatsApp is a utility, to use their words).

I am French and we do use WA a lot but only on a social level, not (yet?) as a way to contact businesses.
Wouldn't the opposite be giving to those organizations directly? I'm not opposed to Smile, but presumably it isn't intended to be the only source of funding. Still, like you say, it's better than not giving anything.
Yeah, it wouldn't fly well because FB shouldn't play a judge.

I don't understand why we don't have a due process for stuff like this.

Trump haters keep justifying that FB is private they can ban whoever they want. Then, when a theme park bans a gay couple, they are screaming violently.

I understand how it would be hard for normal people to push something through legal routes.

But even Warren doesn't want to use a legal route to ban fake news (and such), and she was a lawyer now senate. She instead bought an ads with fake news on Zuck.
More BTC is transacted on the Ethereum network in the form of tokenized Bitcoin than on the Bitcoin lightning network. In fact, about 140K BTC are locked up and tokenized on ETH now: https://defipulse.com/btc

Personally, I am bullish on the use of crypto for decentralized finance: https://defipulse.com/ That is product/market fit for crypto, and this past year has proven out some of those smart contract models.

See: Synthetix (derivatives), Aave (lending), Stable coins (Maker DAI), Compound (lending), Uniswap (trading), etc.
Any alternatives that offer a similar Goals and Expenses feature?
It's a good thing our court system in the US doesn't play these games with semantics and instead tries to understand intent. You can use however many layers of coded language you want, but your intent still exists.

This goes the other way too, with obviously satirical hashtags.
Right, but if US (et al.) merchants are not using your service because using your service means they're not in compliance, you won't be much of a competitor in that field.
Naughty Dog makes best in class games. They also have some of the worst crunch in the industry. I therefore conclude the title somewhere between incomplete and wrong. There's no blockbuster game on the market that wasn't crunched on. That's not excuse, just a simple fact.

Can we have "crunch makes your startup worse" next? Then we an see a raise of hands for how many now successful startups were born in crunch.
I think part of the key with giving FizzBuzz is telling the candidate that any working solution is AOK and meaning it, in other words the dumbest brute force loop is a successful answer. My suspicion is that more candidates than one would expect get hung up worrying about giving some sort of clever answer to impress the interviewer that they bobble it up a bit.

That said, for FizzBuzz proper, one should have dozens of solutions memorized for these situations, but for similarly easy questions the candidate might not have come across that might end up being a big deal.
Makes sense I don't know any of this, I was in high school in the early 2000s.
To me is more like when people say "why are you fighting for animal rights when there are children starving to death in Africa?"
Ghostrank is easily disabled, but it's off by default so you don't need to....
I think for those of us that know this stuff, it is important to understand there is a marketing and sales aspect to education.

While I'm a fan of Ruby per-se, I'm a fan of the Ruby mindset that is bringing out new concepts that educates a larger base of developers. I appreciate JavaScript for the same thing, especially node.js for bring continuation passing to the eyes of new people.
I'm negotiating car insurance at the moment and see this pattern all over the industry. Policies are so elaborate and multi-faceted that they're almost impossible to compare. Intangibles like quality of customer service are also difficult to measure.

If someone's looking for an idea for a startup - Yelp for insurance companies would be a lifesaver for me right now.
Battle it out how? Colosseum fight to the death with giant beakers for weapons? Someone makes the decisions on which group is smarter and that person is thus an administrator of the system. They will in turn hire out sub-administrators to better manage the various groups of scientists and then create a system of grants to remove the inefficiency (and slowness) of groups battling it out. And here we are.
Yup :)

I'd recommend moonlighting until you feel you can't run your business. Can be a lot of things that determine that point, but it should feel pretty obvious.
> Do good things and be open, but also very much protect the brand

is that not the default mode for families? elementary/middle/highschool/universities? work? any communities you spend a lot of time in?
I’ve been using it for projects where a non-JS backend mostly handles templates, but I still want modern JS framework-like interactivity. A nice thing compared to Vue and React is that Alpine takes its template from your HTML, not your JS, so all your JS needs to have is the controller data logic, and the actual template stuff can be with your non-JS template code.
I think this is the Italian study you reference: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03008916209747...

Again, they didn't (or failed to) sequence the virus to prove it was in the samples, and their antibody data (fig 1) doesn't make any sense. IgM antibodies are acute and IgG longer-lasting, so they should appear more like a cumulative distribution if there was a real outbreak. They didn't test their antibody assay for cross-reactivity to seasonal coronaviruses, so that's probably what's going on here.

Same story for the American study (https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid...), though Forbes was at least minimally competent enough to quote a scientist's tweet pointing out the limitations, and the authors even address "potential cross reactivity with human common coronavirus infection". Only 1 sample, from 10 Jan 2020, was positive across all their antibody tests, and no samples were sequenced! These studies all fail to properly account for the false positive rate of their assays, and then pretend that all the positive hits are SARS-CoV-2 without any orthogonal verification.
No, I don't, because I'm sure he's constructed post hoc rationalizations in his head about how he's not actually as bad as it seems.

I evaluate him like I do any other public figure: based on his writing and the impact he's had on public policy debates. His internal state of mind does not matter at all.
That crosses the line badly. You can't post like this here, and we ban accounts that do. Please don't do it again.

Wait a second. The report was from the WHO not china. WHO have consistently confirmed it is not a lab virus. Or are we saying that the international group that entered china were some how in league with the CCP?
We don't have the exact same things, but similar:

Dr. Deborah Birx, the Trump White House coronavirus response coordinator, said in a CBS interview released on Sunday that former President Donald Trump had been reviewing “parallel” data sets on the coronavirus pandemic from someone inside the administration.

"Rebekah Jones, the data scientist who helped create Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, has turned herself in to police, in response to an arrest warrant issued by the state. "

lose a lot of respect from peers if you are rising fast and they find out a powerful person has soft spot for him/her.

The only place this kind of favoritism is a negative is with personal relationships. Nobody bats an eye when the riser is a fraternity or alma mater cohort, where that kind of thing is expected.

If I were a betting man, I'd say it's a class argument that the favoritism wasn't "earned" in the proper way, without the old school tie.

Aside from that, in contemporary business culture, losing respect of your peers is no loss when you're upwardly mobile. They're the ones you're leaving behind.
Meh, going by the quality of films based on real life stories as of late, I really wouldn't care to see a movie based on this, it would probably butcher the characters.
Did you run your benchmark against Django's ./manage.py runserver development server? If so, it's no wonder you got bad results: that server is single threaded and the documentation explicitly warns against ever running it in production.
Seems like the primary motivator for doing this would be the 'native'-ness (all the hardware acceleration and whatnot) - and so maybe someone should tell Microsoft that we don't care about all that, what percentage of websites need that stuff? Certainly none of mine.

A single-platform browser these days just feels like a waste of time.
I am a very chatty person by nature, but people can pay me to shut up. Hypothetically imagine that white label deal had gone through. It would have been NDAed as regards number of accounts, because that is reasonably competitively sensitive for them. How useful is it, to anyone, for me to say "AR just hit $1k. Whee!" when there is, in fact, an off-books client paying a sizable multiple of that that I couldn't tell you about?

It is highly likely I will be unable to offer BCC-level transparency for AR, for reasons like this. I'll try to say what I can, but you can totally buy my weak attachment to transparency with a five figure check.
The $4.99 per month plan, Backupify Pro 100, allows for 5 users on an Apps domain and 20GB of storage. That plan is geared towards small mom & pop operations, not the bigdog system e1ven was running.

Our Pro 500 plan is $19.99 per month and includes 10 Google Apps users and unlimited storage. That actually breaks down to less than $2 per user per month. Beyond that first ten, additional users are $3 per user per month. I usually just quote the $3 figure for simplicity's sake, especially since most admins using a paid Google Apps domain (Google Apps Premium) have more than 10 users anyway.
I moved to a new laptop and it's really helped me get back into the zone more frequently and easier. The reason is that I haven't set up my Bookmark Toolbar in Firefox, so going to Reddit/HN/SomethingAwful isn't just a click a way and it's not always visible. Throw in an F11 with multiple desktops to tab between (first has a full screen shell, second is my editor, third is my browser) and it makes for an incredibly productive environment.
Yes so for that only, we were thinking of investing 2 Saturdays in growth of individuals. This will require dedicated time and efforts from our side. We are willing to do that.

Everyone has chance of improvement and we believe by investing our own time may help individuals to improve themselves.

For e.g. Not every programmer has good writing skills or spoken english skills which is required for communicating with overseas client. We can spend time in improving that.

I am just arguing here to have fruitful discussion. I am just taking the opposite side right now so that we can uncover more points.
> All of them act as a server

Django is not a server. How did you even make it serve HTTP requests for your benchmark? (Please don't say "runserver")
I've been very thankful that I couldn't navigate some websites drunk in the past.
> Sonic.net is bringing gigabit fiber to San Francisco.[2] Construction is underway in the Sunset District. Next, Bernal Heights and the Castro. Also, Berkeley. Already operational in Sebastopol, Brentwood, and Santa Rosa. Sonic may have more actual users than Google does.

All of them in California. Those of us outside Silicon Valley would like fiber too, thanks.
May I suggest http://quora.com ?

Very fun.
This seems to be associated with GENIVI, Yocto and OpenEmbedded for automotive. If this can reproducibly build any Yocto-based OS, are there plans to upstream this capability to Yocto?
This is fantastic. I haven't tried it out yet, but I'll give it a shot for the paper I'm writing.

BTW, even with a "uniform" Linux environment, I've been finding so many differences in the behavior of libraries that it's driving me nuts. This will be a nice way to get past, for example, inconsistencies in wxWidgets.
I've been thinking about this for awhile. Current dating sites make it easy to meet lots of people, but then there's the issue of how well you actually mesh in real life. Thus, some sort of hybrid approach might be better.

I'm imagining some sort of OkCupid/augmented reality mashup. I think there might be something to some level of algorithmic matching, but it doesn't mean much until you actually meet the person. Matching systems can, for instance, prevent people with totally incompatible different values systems from even wasting time with each other. Augmented reality would let you pick someone out of a crowd (via the inevitable smartphone) and pull up their profile. It could even provide the "similar users" ability among people that were present if you happen to meet your type, but they're not physically attractive to you.

Lots of work can be done here. I'm trying to get the number of awkward first dates down, and I believe it to be possible if we meld the best aspects of online and offline personas.
Does Textmate do anything that BBEdit doesn't? There are threads like this all over the place talking about a "vacuum" in the Mac editor market. Meanwhile the daddy of them all has just had another big update.
