Israel has many different population groups.

The Haredi population is acting like covid doesn’t exist and has insanely high numbers of cases.

I suspect that despite the vaccine working well on your everyday science-trusting Israeli, the Haredi population is throwing off the average significantly.

Source: I have family there.

Recently the police tried to enforce the lockdown Bnei Brak (a city with a lot of Haredis). The Haredi rioted against this, yelled “Nazis” at the police, and burned down a bus.

I was just going to point out that look, right there on Oracle's website, you can download the JRE. Even the "latest" version 8. Then I opened adoptOpenJDK in another tab and realize there is version 15 already?!

Seems like a marketing fail - not the JRE is gone, but all the recent versions of Java without a JRE are.

From the non-developers' perspective (end users and admins), "Java" is still very much a system component. The perception is basically: The only reason it is not preinstalled is due to some legal keruffle in the Windows XP era, you don't have to care about versions because it updates itself (annoyingly). It's sad that the idea of a JRE on every device has been given up.
There was time. I work in manufacturing, we plan factories years in advance of manufacturing start. Abandoned biotech factory cost is a drop in the ocean compared to weekly lockdown cost. Why countries failed here? If I would do such crap professionally, shelves of electronics stores would be empty.
Isn't Pfizer already working at full capacity and just upgraded one of its factories to double the output? At this point even states willing to pay more have their shipments delivery dates not before mid 2022
It was not the largest or most sophisticated attack, ever.

It looks like they are trying to limit their liability by claiming there was nothing at all that they could have done.
Why not? Azure is platform agnostic at this point, it isn't just a home for .NET code.
>It's not just a familiar interface. It's a better interface. Smooth scrolling is better than line-based scrolling. A popup is better at alerting the user that input is needed than a small prompt at the bottom of the screen. The command pallete, which is clearly visually distinguished from the surrounding text by a gui border, is better design than yet more lines of text indistinguishable from the rest. Current selection highlighted in a bright, theme-able colour is better than just toggling the background colour. Little graphical icons next to lines indicating changes, breakpoints, etc is better than a random text character put before the line. Smooth animations are better at conveying change than instantaneous changes to text. Filesystem trees with pixel-wide connector lines and icons indicating file type, displayed in a smaller font than the main text are better than a file tree drawn with ASCII art. The fact that key bindings can interfere with your terminal emulator or shell's keybindings is an annoying restriction.

I agree with almost all of this, which is why I use Emacs' graphical interface instead of its terminal interface.
Speaking as a Pythonist (but who is in love with ggplot2 and dplyr) the wonderful thing about IPython Notebook is that its possible to inline R code with no more fuss than adding "%%R" in a cell.:

I wasn't ever trying to say this is a bad effort or anything. I think it's a relatively good thing. I just don't see azure as sustainable.
I get what you're saying, and it seems totally fair. If all of the possible paths any human can take are the space of all outcomes, and there is some extremely sparse set of volumes within that space that are "one in a million successes", your likelihood of finding that success will be directly related to the amount of coverage you can explore.

I don't mean to suggest there isn't an aspect of hard work here. Like many other side posters say, diligence is certainly a component to "making your own luck" which can be well expressed within the concept of a "luck volume". (Even things like opportunity and family connections fit in nicely by expanding the set of vectors you can follow)
I'm confused though. I don't ever see a response from Bram saying "merged this". Instead you see a constant stream of patches merged at the root of the mailing list.

So I don't think you can look for his response in the mailing list for a submission if it was merged or not. You have to look at the stream of merged patches.
The entire point of tags and Steam curators is that Valve doesn't do the work, "the community" does. They're not trying to improve THEIR curation, they're trying to give users the tools to do it themselves.
Based on a totally-not-statistically-significant-survey our team conducted, we are seeing that yes - many node devs are deploying to Linux, but developing on Windows. We support this scenario through remote debugging to any OS. Azure not required :)

This appears to be consistent with npm's data as well (see this infographic - % devs accessing npmjs.org http://blog.modulus.io/growth-of-npm-infographic).

We also try very hard to make sure that NTVS works well with people's existing tools and packages - so if you run into an issue, please let us know (or better yet, make a PR!)
The fact that you can post here and complain proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don't live in "a dystopian nightmare society". If you were North Korean or Burmese, and you said that about your country, you'd be dead or in a labor camp in a heartbeat.

Disagree about monads. What you mean is that IO actions are an awkward way to ensure evaluation order in a lazy language. In Haskell, IO actions form a monad, but this is only reasonable because so many other things form a monad that the language has special support for them.

Monads are great in that disparate things like lists, sets, IO, control flow, state, optional values, and even functions are all instances of a single ADT which is useful enough that one can write reasonable code abstracted over it, and Haskell provides the mechanisms to do so.
Last time we had a leap second in 2012, it crashed a whole lot of web servers. There was a bug in Linux kernel threading that MySQL and Java both triggered. Please forgive the self-link, but lots of details from the time on my blog: http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/leap-second-2012.htm...

Leap seconds are a fact of timekeeping. Google's approach of slewing the clock seems like a robust way to implement it if you don't trust the operating system to do it right. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/time-technology-and-l...
Yea I've definitely thought about it before tweeting, even before favoriting things (which, I don't believe at least, on twitter, anyone should be able to see) but I'm just not certain about anything anymore.

With the recent battles with the NYPD here in NYC, I've often found myself on both sides (although certainly more generally identifying with the more open minded (and occasionally less vehement) protestors (although I think it's a societal issue (poverty begets poverty, most people in poverty minorities, people in poverty more likely to commit crime, especially in our materialistic society, most people in bad crime ridden neighborhoods with low social mobility and extremely expensive education are minorities --> thus minorities are bad) as opposed to just random system wide racism that sprang up institutionally through out the country) but despite that, and despite my utmost respect for many members of the NYPD and all of the pleasant interactions I've had with them (generally asking for directions), I'm still a little concerned when I tweet with their hashtag or even their full acronym.

I know I'm probably not their biggest suspect, but still... That's a weird feeling.
I'm not good enough. I used to be very good at counter strike many years ago but it required a lot of training (I don't have that much free time anymore), and I honestly prefer programming, it's just that I do programming 8 hours a day for work already, so I lose creativity/motivation when I have time for myself at 10pm.
And then once you "compile" the drawing into a manufactured part, each output is unique since we can't yet assemble them by placing atoms. And you have to test a slew of them to make sure the variation in structural properties is acceptable. The manufacturing isn't 100% automated for many complex parts, so occasionally a machinist forgets to bevel a hole edge. Inspection dept somehow missed this (they pull 1 of 5 parts from the line and take key measurements) and so it showed up in testing as a drastically reduced part life. And you spent two weeks setting up and running a fatigue test on a part that was improperly made, which now must be repeated (true story).
Lived in Renens and had three or four options for getting to my office depending on the weather. Could walk the whole way, walk two different ways to the light rail, or if raining hop on the bus next to my apartment.

If he’d like to make a Minecraft mod, a Roblox game or a comprehensive game in Scratch, check out Codakid.

Their video walkthroughs explain everything step-by-step. They keep it very basic and assume no prior knowledge.

Our 7 year old had a really basic Roblox obby (obstacle course) set up in no time. We played the videos on the iPad, the Roblox dev environment running on my Macbook Pro. That way he could easily go back through the video if he missed something.

The courses are worth the money.

Dialog and SLT both seem to have some hair pulling stats with their data usage, and I wouldn't even trust them for the statistics.

It is possible that they associate IP ranges with the service name, and it's probably outdated information.

It also shows TLS 1.3 and Pinterest in the same table, so that report is useless as no report.
I like the oily ones, where you have to mix it in, with no additional ingredients (except salt). The stuff in Reese’s Pb cups.. I don’t care for.

"You have to do give them just enough info to get started and hope it catches."

That's an important mantra, I think. If you cast the net wide enough, you'll find something they like, and want to follow... but it might not be programming.
Agreed. But the problem is— I've never once given serverless my credentials...

The specific instance in this case is that there is portion of serverless (called serverless-components) where it appears to boost them from your `~/.aws/credentials` file, which seems very inappropriate.
This project is obviously a farce, but I would not say Apple is against Linux insofar as supporting it on the backend. Their own backends are designed for raytracing/render farms and will probably always run macOS though.

Oh interesting! What CPU was that on? 136 the optimal number I found benchmarking on an old intel based laptop I was using a few years ago. I wonder if modern CPUs (with much larger caches) have changed the ideal array size.
In spite of your angry post, I'm going to be civil. Because we as humans deserve it.

The "widespread consensus" isn't that "2% annual inflation" is healthy.

It is that it is the best way to increase GDP because it encourages people to invest rather than sit on funds. If we didn't have inflation, it wouldn't be an automatic tax (or mandatory enlistment) for the poor to trust their savings to the stock market. It wouldn't inflate the stock market above their actual value and cause additional risky investments and otherwise poor investments by the masses who wouldn't HAVE TO be a part of the system otherwise.

It isn't "healthy" for everyone. It certainly isn't healthy for people who have to take out money when the system is way down... Get over your anger issues. This isn't reddit. :)
The one bad habit you learn from coding in school is you take a project and then throw it away. So speed does count when it comes to finishing an assignment so you can goof off, go party, etc. And then you never see it again, so who cares if the code sucks as long as it produces the outcome you want.

What you don't learn in school is how to write maintainable code. This is a much different style of writing code, and much more valuable once you go out in the "Real World". I'm not sure if there are CS programs out that start with a small project and then force the students to make massive changes to that project throughout the course of the year, but to me there is immense value to that. Even better would be if they had CS101, CS201, CS301 and the students taking CS201 would be forced to dig up their project from CS101 and work on that, CS301 would work on the code from CS201, etc. It's eye-opening how much you forget about your code after a few weeks, so it would drive home the notion of commenting, writing easily readable code, etc.
I used to have the same reaction, and your post made me realize that I don't even notice it anymore.

And I think that's fine. Added together, these are the bread and butter.

As a whole, we benefit more from them doing what they do well and having stable revenue than trying to make everything under the sun and creating gigantic monopolies that dictate standards and absorb any company doing something remotely interesting (like, sadly, today's Google).

This might be a dumb question but what run-times have a garbage collected stack? I Googled around but did not really find anything.

I can't load the page from any browser, through a proxy, or over OVPN, but downforeveryone says it's up. Can someone summarize what it is (or what's done differently from DynDNS)?

Edit: Had to connect via Google DNS. Not ideal, but apparently none of the other DNS servers I use could access it.

Okay, so it's dynamic DNS that lasts as long as you curl the service with a name and secret random key after which it gets destroyed. The record you connect to goes https://name.sha224-of-secret-sauce.onetimedns.net. Neat.

I think you're underestimating the number of people who'd be doing OK out of it.

You said, "I would venture a guess that there are no more than a handful of people in the world making more than $100/month."

A handful would be fewer than a dozen, surely? There'd be thousands making more than $100/month. Actually, there'd be thousands making more than $10k/month IMO.

Do "height on demand". Constant abstract and compress the knowledge so you can ramp up in any area as needed.

Really, this is why programming languages are my "home base" of expertise. It's the study of formal ideas and their communication.
Supposedly, one of the big reasons people prefer vinyl is not because of the medium. It's because of the mastering process.

CDs and/or Streaming services are victims of the "loudness" wars, resulting in music with low dynamic range. Since vinyl is often mastered by someone who specializes in the vinyl and is rather niche, they have full freedom to make it sound as good as it ever will be.

That's also one reason why some people prefer Tidal or <insert HiFi music services of your choice> because sometimes they simply use better masters. At least, that's the only reason that can't be chalked up to placebo
if I understood you right, all 100 of us get the $10000, then the 80 of us who file with the IRS gets taxed back for that 10k, so in sum, only 20 X 10000 = 200K get spent.

It's not that hard to figure out why the Virtual Boy was a market failure. It had so many headwinds at launch the biggest mystery is why Nintendo thought it would be a success.

It's a portable that isn't portable. It combines the worst of both worlds by being a battery eater while also being too big to fit in your pocket and needing a table to play it on. It's clear the original idea was to put a head strip on the thing so you could wear it, but concern about kids falling into open manholes killed the idea. They were also way ahead of their time on the technology front, so you got the expensive and fragile moving parts that ended up providing only a lame low resolution all red display. The computing power required meant you had to put a high power CPU as well, which meant short battery life. IMHO the box should have come with the AC adapter instead of the battery pack on the controller, not that it would have solved the other issues, but at least it would indicate that it's really a home console not a portable. Probably worst of all it was competing against the Gameboy, a runaway success with an enormous game library that didn't require mandatory nag screens warning about eyestrain.

Ultimately it was a product about 25 years ahead of its time. Even today people are struggling to get VR right.

> Nuclear energy is the analogy of tech debt that can never be paid back, ever.

The reason why the "waste" is dangerous is that there's a lot of energy in it - energy that can still be extracted at a later date. It might very easily be very valuable in the future.

Germany is really sad case, where they stopped using nuclear and replaced it with "clean coal". Terrible thing for the planet.

The Greens talk about nuclear waste and Fukushima, and meanwhile German green-washed coal plants and cheating diesel engines put crazy things in the air.
Exactly this - today's nuclear waste is tomorrow's nuclear fuel (+ some other useful and expensive materials mixed in).

Actually in some countries nuclear waste is already (part of) today's fuel using existing reprocessing technology.
