You can change them, it just comes with a lot of design, testing, V&V and Manufacturing work to satisfy the needs of a robust QMS system for a regulated environment.
This sort of hyperbole is central to the problem we face:

"..about clash of fundamentally incompatible moral systems - one in which one group would like to operate entirely above the law on the superficial basis of skin colour and inherited wealth by appealing to lies and fantasy and the basest and most distorted human instincts, and another which wants humans, politics, society, business, science, and art to be better than that."

It's a cost of doing business that would be ameliorated by telling people how to use the product, because then they're not the only ones able to do the work

...if you're talking about processors, sure. But only talking about processors gives a really narrow view of TI's business, and doesn't add any context into why they sell the way they do. They make a ton of money on analog applications that require no OSSW support at all. They know how to sell chips that way - they've been doing it for fifty plus years. They are an analog company that didn't get into the processor business until comparatively recently.
I'm sure a bunch of this cloak and dagger around datasheets is legacy holdover from an analog sales world. They know what they are doing in that department, without doubt.

As to why they're DMCA'ing someone for a 50 year old datasheet - I'd guess it's as simple an explanation as someone in Legal carrying out their boss's mandate. Nothing more, nothing less.
I think it will be a while before we start selling in the US to be honest.
Yes, you're right. The point is without oversight or transparency we can't really know whats going on.

I love thinking on paper. In this case, I’m not going to go back and edit this entry so it looks like I had it all along. No, I’d rather show you my thought process.

Actually, I'd rather read a well-thought out argument that has been edited than trying to parse your thought process. I ended up stopping halfway through.

6 years seems great an all as the consumer, but I'd imagine the retailers/manufacturers are not just taking this extra burden all on themselves, but likely passing it down the chain to the consumer via higher purchase price, higher contract price, decreased service quality, fewer staffers, or... etc...

Needless to say, I sure wouldn't even want a smart phone from 6 years ago. People get upset at the USA's more-or-less forced upgrades every 2ish years, but that cadence does seem to fit the timing of when I start to feel my phone is not up to par... 2 or 3 newer generations of devices have come out since my purchase, my battery is starting to lose life (usually never covered by any warranty as this is a standard "wear-n-tear" item like car tires). I'd think a 2 or 3 year warranty should suffice in most cases.
This is why most airlines won't let you short-check bags to an intermediate city.

Also, in the event of IRROPs, you have no guarantee that the airline will still send you through the same connecting airport. If you're trying this on a ticket with (e.g.) United from Boston to Milwaukee via Chicago, intending only to fly as far as Chicago, you could easily find yourself going through Newark or Cleveland if Chicago is snowed in or that flight has mechanical problems.

In that case, connecting in Chicago was essentially an implementation detail, United is free to reroute you through any other hub (even Houston or Denver if that's where they've got open seats). I've certainly had more out-of-the-way reroutes with United.

(edit again, just to add more)

You could even wind up on a completely different airline. United could stick you on a Delta flight through Detroit. Many ways to screw yourself.
Publish it anyway!

There's a worst case of no-one noticing, which will hopefully be a great relief for the anxiety (and yet you can say you published your code), and a next worst case that it's never used and is simply inspiration for a better library! Of course best case is people use your code, modify, expand, and build upon it. You'll be credited in their libraries as part of their inspiration, and the state of the art moves forward.

There are many that want deeper curation on quality; it's hard to deal with all the noise out there. But it's critical to remember that we can always layer curation on top of the bazaar at no additional cost. As the scene settles into its grooves, the better curators will stand out.
There is a section labeled, "No Luggage", and line that says:

I would think that the employees are aware their calls are being recorded if the company announced that to me beforehand. That should be permission enough for me to record the call as well.

Why did judges and politicians in a number of states violated the constitution by changing state law? Why this only happened in states that went for Biden? Why are these questions being ignored by most of the media and politicians?
That you have to offer that sort of reassurance makes my point.

Consistently and reliably delivering good software solutions.

Just like a master woodworker would consistently and reliably deliver good furniture.

Or a master author would consistently and reliably deliver good books.

The key points are:

* Consistent - It wasn't just a fluke or luck, you know what you're doing and can repeat it.

* Reliable - You know how much effort it will take and can deliver it.

* Good - It's not crap, people want it.
Did you understand his?

Regarding "nothing changes" he's spot on adding other groups that are entitled to fair and equal consideration. He's expanding the discussion, which is the point of this place (or is suppose to be).

Regarding 'speak for yourself', I have to agree with him. When someone uses 'you' or 'your' in a sentence indicating someone specific should 'confront your own preconceptions' what they are really doing is making a blanket blaming statement across a group of people on whether or not they have preconceptions.

That's a conversational no-no because someone doesn't have the right to speak for me on my behalf. It's the trust, man. It's the trust.
Yeah, agreed. High reusability turns out to cost a lot in proper dependency management...
holy crap! so no more need for multiple clusters of servers, just up the ram and disk space.
Unfortunately, I think it's a bit of a branding thing, too. To most people's eyes the HP is something of a failure since it's so slow to release—never mind the stabilizing effect it has had on all constituent projects. Stackage thus grabbed some market- and mind-share by promising a closer-to-bleeding-edge update path at the cost of lesser stability. From this position they're peeling back a little bit, trading off newness for a bit more stability, in what appears to be the easiest-to-maintain fashion.

So from that, it's sort of culturally incompatible with HP, unfortunately. It'd be very nice if some crosscutting could be had once-and-if LTS stabilizes as a product.
Yeah the web tier is rarely the bottleneck, can be scaled linearly when it is and typically very susceptible to caching.

I didn't like the presentation of the benchmark either. There isn't enough information to know even what the configuration is (uWSGI or gunicorn? it doesn't say) let alone to replicate the benchmark on your own hardware. It's disappointing that the author doesn't include proper stats like standard dev, nth percentile, etc which would give better impression of what's going on. On top of all of that, it's a microbenchmark that doesn't include the typical db access, caching and so on of a real web application, so it gives a misleading impression of the speedup you could get over another framework.

Hey Tommy loved the read. Not sure if this was intentional but you followed Jeff Walkers PLF precisely in that article. I have a few big corporations here in Santa Barbara and we have been spending over 50k/month on Adwords on just one of the corporations for years now and it kills me everyday to see those charges because it just doesn't work nearly as well as the people who have all the organic rankings and don't pay a DIME!

Anyhow, I'm trying to use the HackerNews promo code so I can learn SEO and hopefully quit all the adwords stuff at some point but it won't work. Can you check into that for me please as I would like to purchase it today :-)
I found one other way to use types across modules.

/* @flow */
var Person;
type Person = {name: {first: string; last: string;}; isActive: boolean;}
module.exports.Person = Person

Just by writing that var you can use the type across modules.

> The UK is a prime candidate for this. If such an aggressor were to aim to go for retribution based on perceived sleights (for instance: the economy tanking because of 'them') then you just might have to defend yourself from that.

> Which would not cause you to have to fight in a neighboring country, it might cause you to fight in your own.

I see what you're saying, but I didn't say "fight in a neighboring country", but "fight a neighboring country".

The idea that the world is a game of Civilization and that there is anything to be gained by invading some other country is largely seen as absurd here, as far as my personal experience goes. That's the point I was making. You would first need to raise a whole generation of people who see that differently, which frankly sounds about as realistic as raising a generation of people who will challenge their rival to a pistol duel because they slept with their girlfriend.

And I really can't see the scenario where it truly becomes a question of self defense, and some continental european country needs to defend itself against the pillaging and raping british. Is there any indication in the UK that anybody would be interest in that type of activity?

Regarding your point about the eastern border of the EU, and Russia's activities there - that one I'll grant you. But still, from there to intra-european strife still seems like a long way.
To state that some relief agencies are - I'd say success-driven rather than profit-driven - is not an attack on the people in direct contact with, and assisting, victims. There is an unavoidable gap between volunteers at the forefront of relief efforts, and the people running the agency.

Like any other organization, relief agencies need funding, they need support from local government, they need positive publicity if they're to continue. The people doing those jobs are focused on those results, not the work those in the field are doing.

You asked for an example. About 20 years ago, my colleagues' three-year-old daughter was kidnapped from in front of her apartment house. She was a sweet, blue-eyed, blonde-haired child, and her search became a huge media frenzy: non-stop reporting as police followed lead after lead.

She started working with a local branch of a national missing children's organization. At her first meeting, the director told her that her daughter' disappearance was "the best thing that has happened to them" because the publicity pulled in so many donations.

He wasn't a bad person, or incident to get daughter; but his role was making the agency successful, and he evaluated things from that standpoint. I don't think that's at all unusual for these agencies.
I question the assumption the trend is towards consolidation. We have more people, pursuing more interests, inhabiting more space than before. If we become able to mold intelligence itself, it seems equally likely to me that each human will become many intellects than all of us become one.

Not to mention that the version of the future the author projects is one where a person will choose to yield their mental independence to another. This runs right up against the entire history of humanity — humanity’s best systems are those which leverage individual self interests to collective good. Systems which assume individuals will not pursue self interest and self preservation seem to be unstable and prone to failure.
Our CTO likens developing a smart contract to civil engineering. Our CTO also remembers what it was like to ship your software in its final form on a floppy disk!

I think it’s great that more and more people are jumping in and learning what it’s like to develop in such an unforgiving domain (no point here, I just think it’s great!)
I am aware of that. I think it is amazing that a $70 unsubsidized cell phone exists and Android has done more to make “computers” ubiquitous than Microsoft/Intel did.

But a $100 cell phone is no substitute for a $429 iPhone SE. While there are some mid tier $250-$300 Android phones that are “good enough”. The only phones that currently exist that have the performance of even an iPhone SE are - other iPhones.
Agreed. It's lazy and dismissive advice. I wish it wasn't such a trope in children's entertainment.

Most people don't have a fixed sense of self until adulthood. And wise adults understand that there's no self at all.

And it's not about "big breakthroughs" any more than it is for microprocessors. A bunch of lab changes that in production add .5-5% each add up to 10-20% in a generation add up to 2-3x over a decade. That something works in a lab though is still interesting since it shows the possible ceiling we can work towards. Going from that to something that we can make billions of cheaply entails compromises, but the ultimate envelope still matters.

I don't know who has time for that, but it's far more reliable than auditing source code. Two people using two different languages are not likely to code up the same bug, but overlooking a bug in code someone else wrote is easy. Besides, coding things up yourself is not much slower than a full audit: understanding other people's code is hard. There's a reason that many developers have an urge to throw out "legacy" code and redo it from scratch.
Hi, just wondering if you'd have any interest in turning that Google Doc job description into a dedicated webpage like this: https://demos.writary.app/iterative-sr-software-engineer. It loads faster, looks more professional (if on your own domain) and unlike a Google Doc you can add analytics, etc. to see how many people have viewed it.

> If nothing else any reform must have the blessing of police officers.

This statement right here is a pretty roundabout way to speak the truth that "reform" is unlikely to ever change anything. Even these moderate proposals that are just pointless theatre are opposed tooth and nail by police officers and unions everywhere.

Hell, in the midst of everything going on last year, many police unions insisted their budgets needed to be increased at the expense of all other city departments facing cuts.
Even if that's the case, better those people pay for the crimes, than everyone via taxes. And, civil suits are one thing but criminal liability should be a thing too. Can't just pay that off.
99.9% of Swedish schools have free school cafeterias. It's a deeply ingrained concept that I believe Sweden invented. This school is an extreme outlier.
Taiwan's "warnings" were redundant information already provided by PRC - they had no unique observations. Their first case of covid was imported on Jan 21st. They didn't know shit about epidemiological characteristics of virus outside of what was communicated between medical professionals until then. Even Taiwanese media thought H2H chance was low mid January, and Taiwanese CDC didn't believe evidence for H2H was possible to establish until after mid Jan. Any notion that Taiwan had anything useful to warn about in December is part of a _literal_ propaganda drive coordinated by Taiwan and Pompeo's State Department in late March / early April.

China cracked down harshly and sufficiently that countries that immediately listened to WHOs advice to test/trace/isolate managed to contain the virus well because very few cases ever made it abroad as seen in import cases statistics from many countries. Expatriation flights meant leakage was inevitable, but screening procedures were mostly theatre, temperature checks instead of 14day quarantines. The problem is very few countries listened to WHO's advice, and still don't.
> As a person who likes wine, I simply like to enjoy wine and not to describe it and try to figure out what that smell or taste resembles.

I feel similarly about beer and coffee. I hear people talk about fruity flavors in coffee or other similarly weird descriptions of beer and I taste it and just taste the coffee. I can definitely taste the difference between fairly distinct varieties of coffee (or beer). But when people talk about getting cherry overtones in their coffee, I just shrug and enjoy it.

I moved my office to a complex that was supposed to have both cable and DSL internet available. Neither was installed yet so we bought a Clearwire device to fill the gap.

The DSL was a slightly better deal, so we had them in to install it, and it wouldn't push more than a few bits. After several service calls, they eventually gave up. We were too far away, even though their modelling showed our distance as fine.

So we call up the cable company (Comcast, of course) and our unit is too far from the service point. They set up an appointment with engineering to install a new pole and such. Six months later, we have cable service finally run. Not speedy, but at least they didn't give me the runaround.

It's too bad Clear didn't work out; saved my bacon. These days I'd have to get wireless internet service through one of the mobile phone companies, which is not nearly as good a deal. But it would still work.

Anyway, it's a mess. And a good lesson to assume you can't get service until you actually have it, both in residential and commercial settings. But then there was the time with my home service where the DSL office got slowly further away until they couldn't give me service any more...
