Nothing you've written here contradicts what I wrote, because it is a matter of degrees, which you completely fail to acknowledge in your view point.

A proportion of teenagers in some groups in some parts of society texting privately amongst themselves. Nude, consensual photos are arguably 'better' and more natural than typical pornography in any case and almost certainly less extreme and with a natural progression as the participants get older. It is (to me quite blatant) equivocation on your part to say, well A = B, therefore what is the point.

The article mentioned that 1 in 3 children under the age of 10 have seen pornography on the internet. Probably most of them will be fine, but its not probably something they particularly would want (as children, or later as adults) to have happened since there is plenty of time to lose one's innocence.

Finally, what have we won? This is a completely destructive dismissive attitude, again possibly characteristic of the highly partisan nature of American politics. Introduce the scheme, tune it, see how it goes.

In light of the all of the above, it bemuses and somewhat disappoints me that your opinion should be voted up. You can of course disagree, but, in my mind at least, you have to be more nuissanced and acknowledging.

> The secret to a successful life is hardly a secret; it requires you to be self-centered as all fuck, is all. So long as it’s not at the expense of others, make yourself the center of your universe.

Making yourself the centre of your own universe will obviously be detrimental to others in your life. Quitting your job and moving your kids to some ghetto slum likely isn't a good idea and would likely be such a distraction in your life that you couldn't focus on yourself if you wanted to.

I'm married, I can't simply quit and slum it around Europe because I feel like it. However, I can save up money and take my wife to places in Europe on vacation. It gets me what I want and it'll help my marriage.

Perhaps you shouldn't be viewing programming as your day job, but your actually job as your day job. Programming is a skill, your skill isn't your day job, what you're required to do with your skills however is your day job. You could use your skill to program for something you find fun. Help with an open source project, or program a website for a local charity as a good deed or something you'd enjoy doing.

I'm skilled with my hands. You put any power tool in my hand and I'll guarantee I could build you what you want. I don't enjoy doing certain jobs, they can feel rather belittling to do sometimes. However, I go home and I think of all the things I could make that I want and I don't find it draining like I would a bad day job. I find it rather invigorating.
well, baby steps. I started a website during medical school, and it consumed much of my free time until I quit medicine. I didn't quit to start a website, but my website allowed me to quit.

Maybe music/show business is different? Forgive my lack of familiarity with the terminology, but you can't form a band, book gigs, do weddings, etc...?

I'd absolutely love to pick her brain about what she thinks is wrong with enterprise calendaring.
I'm interested in seeing how it works out, too.

I'm not sure what the motivation is to pay to promote the types of content you can post on Forrst, other than job ads. I guess I'll have to watch and see what people are using it for.
Yes, I agree... what Crockford says makes sense to me. Know where they go, and use them consistently.

This blog post doesn't make so much sense. It seems to say that you should be aware of the rules at all times and strive to use as few semicolons as possible (even going so far as to put them in front of statements). Yes, it would work, but I don't really see this as more readable.
Law enforcement are not completely helpless in that they use TOR to access these sites themselves, as per the article:
" Law enforcement and anti-abuse groups patrol pedophilia Dark Web sites to measure and track them, for instance, which can count as a “visit.”"
There was plenty sufficient airport security 10 years ago. The airlines and airports were perfectly capable of handling it then just as they are now.
My understanding is that you do that just so they don't book you on phony "disorderly conduct" charges.
On average, dying from even an imperfect shot is more humane for the deer than how it would die naturally in the wild (most likely starvation).
You think every country is going to apply for an american license to send their tourists in space?

It rather sounds like a joke. Like a license to drink.

> I predominately use the desktop client and it works well since I frequently leave my phone somewhere else.

In my experience the desktop client is slow, buggy, and takes eons to start up. There's also no web version, making it awkward to use on computers other than your own.

I would be more willing to switch over to Signal if it wasn't so lacking in this regard.
Nope, what he wrote works just fine at least for conda. That advice is only if you want to be able to choose environments as kernels in the frontend. If you just run jupyter lab/notebook in a conda env which has it installed, the default kernel will be in the activated environment.

The question to me is what gaps exist in using IPython directly versus a more dedicated shell like Xonsh?

I've inadvertently found myself using the IPython interpreter as my shell more and more. Opening vim in IPython always makes me smile. But I don't try to push it's abilities as a shell too much out of a healthy fear that it'll break unexpectedly in the worst way when I absolutely need it not to.
I think it works fine for smaller organizations with less than 50 people. It may not work so well with companies that are rapidly going and already stretching their culture to its limits. It still greatly depends on who is running the company, what the goals are, etc. At your average tech company, mentorship and autonomy matter way more than someone assigning you a direct manager that simply checks boxes on some annual review form. I believe in a strong technical leadership model while keeping the "management hierarchy" flat. E.g. having "direct reports" becomes important when you have enough people that upper management can't give someone dedicated time. There are plenty of ways to keep things flatter and not fall into the traps of having a traditional management hierarchy. It simply takes some thought. You can't absolve your organization of needing management by simply declaring yourself "flat", but there are benefits to how agile an organization can be the flatter they can get, IMO.
I used mesos a while ago across a couple of cheep VPS for personal projects and services and it was great. I especially liked that I could used a shell executor to run services with filesystem access. For many environments this probably didn't make sense but for me I could put some secrets on the filesystem and services could make unix sockets available to nginx for SSL and hostname based forwarding.

Also with Nix I could easily install software the specific services needed and it was trivial to integrate into the garbage collector making it much faster than launching a docker container.

That being said the project wasn't moving that fast and it was a bit buggly for me and nodes would regularly get into loops where they couldn't authenticate with the master for various reasons (I think there were timing issues and timeouts that caused issues over the internet). Now I'm using Kubernetes but I have all of this complicated virtual networking that I don't need, I'm locked into docker-like containers and the thing is so complicated that I need to pay someone to run it for me.
> The stats are useless. The police need them to go down, so they go down.

How do you know there is more manipulation of the stats now than there was at any other point in the past?

If you're saying the official stats can't be trusted, you're just saying that no one knows how bad crime is. Or maybe you're saying no one knows except you?

Regardless, you can't argue that crime is going up based on anecdotes, regardless of whether the official stats are trustworthy or not.

> If you do insist on reporting, they make you pay for it, you could be at the station for 5 hours, which happened to my mother after her car was broken into by a homeless man. They're encouraged to not report specific kinds of crimes.

So you're saying that's true in every city in the US? There's no city that's trying to do honest crime reporting?

Because this isn't just a trend in NYC.
I’m all for basic financial literacy. I think things like how to balance your checkbook/bank account and how to do your taxes should be taught in school, and earlier, because everyone needs to do this. That said, very few people will ever have to read a financial statement in their life, and even fewer will have to produce one. This seems like a very niche skill that you’re only going to need if you run your own business, or if you go into finance or pick stocks or something. It’s fine to wait and only teach it to people going that direction in their careers.
Actually, it's like saying "you can have sex, just wear a condom and don't have sex with every person that asks; use a little self-control."

12K$ tuition, a contract that forces you to not only accept any job offers but also relocate for them... eh ok...

Most public 2-year collages cost 3-5K (Google, not experience so forgive me if I'm off by a bit, and yes that doesn't cover board and living expenses but neither does the 12K for the 7 months you go to this school) a year, you can get an associate in applied Science degree in programming for about the same costs as that course and most likely lower.

This looks more like an indenture scam than a coding school. And while their teaching might be top notch you will probably won't be hired into a top tier company with a 100K+ salary just because you've attended an online course no matter how good it was.

At best you will end up working for some filling some low paid job for some generic software company.

What sad is that they are also most likely being paid by the companies they arrange jobs for just like any other recruitment company does.

Their curriculum is also a bit meh, I really don't see the value of coding schools that don't integrate math into their curriculum. I'm sorry but there's a good reason why college degrees in Comp. Sci or Software Engineering are mostly maths. It's fairly tough facing actual programming challenges without it, now I'm not saying every programmer, eh sorry "coder" has to have MSc level of math but quite a bit of it is actually important into forming how a programmer "thinks" even if they are not directly implementing it in their programming.

> I didn't hear the reasons why they ditched Dart?

They didn't.

They ditched plans to integrate DartVM into Chrome from browser-side Dart in favor of continuing to use dart2js for browser-side dart.
Well, I think what makes it interesting is that the simultaneous write issues don't just apply to ZODB, but the indexes (and/or balancing data) inside the encrypted buckets being maintained by the clients to maintain their own bsts, per my question above. You can't just put a transaction around one bucket because they have to, together, form a consistent tree.

That's especially true when you consider that to maintain log n the tree will have to be a self-balancing tree, so any given modification can touch a larger number of nodes during rotation.

I might be missing something obvious, but if the client has to maintain the tree I have a hard time seeing how you wouldn't have to queue access into the tree for modifying operations. That seems like it could be a pretty significant issue for some applications.
Interesting. My dad used to work for BP, and their lawyers were of the opinion that short-term engineering exchanges between the US and EU, either between corporate offices or to/from their engineering contractors, qualified as visa-waiver business travel. I wouldn't think they'd be trying to fly under the radar, since BP is a huge company that's often subject to regulatory scrutiny, but who knows. As far as I can find, the exemption is somewhat broader than just training, and also includes "business meetings" and meetings for the purpose of contract negotiation/supervision.

The thing the lawyers were really worried about was any kind of on-site visit to an operating plant, but that was for reasons of health/safety law, not immigration law. The non-operating engineering staff (local or foreign) had specific rules about what they couldn't do, so they wouldn't count as "operating" the plant, or get remotely implicated in anything safety-related. But for visits between corporate offices, they were very un-worried. Even visits to their Chinese joint-venture partner were pretty hassle-free, just requiring an "M" visa arranged by the partner.
I've seen my information all over the web which was data scraped from public government databases. A few years ago I went through the trouble of taking my information down (names, aliases, previous places I lived, employment) from these websites according their policy. For each I was request to send in snail mail to their postal address etc. I didn't need to create a login/profile to contact them. they did stop listing me, or at least I'm not as searchable online in as much depth.

not sure if Facebook has a policy for deleting information in the same regards as these spam sites. They might be legitimate and large enough to not care.
Those are already the requirements for a basic security clearance.
This is an amazing marketing strategy. Very simple and effective, IMHO.
Very true.

However, there will be someone in the class who knows that "pick up pennies" is just the game of Nim, and will google it. Renaming makes it harder so fewer people will be able to cheat, but it doesn't make it impossible. (That said, it wouldn't be all that hard for the professor to create his own game which is similar to Nim in some respects, but different in others -- I believe this would be the best solution -- but unfortunately most professors would not put the time in to do this.)

This problem multiplies tenfold when you try to do it with math. (Integrate _____ -> WolframAlpha. Prove ______ -> Google.)
If a lot of TSA employees wore dosimeters, chances are there would be at least one false positive and the media would latch onto it.
It seems as though the sanctions were levied aggressively as a long term play. I’m curious how their effect is over time as it seems to disrupt their trade quite a bit. I’ve read contextual reports but would like for someone to tie it all together and put a 5 year hypothesized forecast on it.
You can combine the two approaches, with "just search" which also uses human "categorisation and classification". This helps an awful lot with relevancy ranking.

In smaller data sets (eg not Google scale), where all the items are about roughly the same thing, you need some human classification for your search to work well.

Exactly.
And, then you have time to prepare rebuttals to these points.
The new 16 core Ryzen part already recommends a 280mm closed loop water cooler and so it doesn't come with a fan like the 12 core Ryzen does.

Finding an AIO with a waterblock that will cover a Threadripper is very difficult though. It's one of the reasons why I'm sticking with an overclocked 12 core Ryzen.

There's sadly a big difference between capitalism in theory and in practice. Concentrating a lot of wealth and power in a single entity is going to skew the power balance.

I think capitalism might be better off without corporations.
The worst that could happen is rape and murder.

Talk to women sometimes about how they approach personal safety, and how many scary situations and too-close calls they've already had.

It's a law of truly large numbers thing. Even if a tiny tiny minority of guys are actually dangerous, over the course of even a relatively young life the average woman has encountered quite a few of them. They make life decisions accordingly, for understandable reasons.
I haven’t largely seen this to be the case. First, as far as regulation, in the US, most trades still have to contend with code and with the local union. So aside from work in truly dismal municipalities, there is a floor to the quality of the job.

Second, there is at least a legible path for new entrants with reasonable starting pay.

Third, there actually are a number of decent companies, and nepotism doesn’t necessarily mean getting screwed over, just a need to advance elsewhere.

Fourth, there is a viable freelance path in many trades, or at least the ability to make oneself a biddable item (play residental vs. commercial, alternate between multiple trades, hourly vs. project-based, etc.)

Fifth, where there is significant activism for the trades there are people and organizations trying hard to improve the experience and results.
I was wondering, how much do you trust these tools? Cryptography can be extremely tricky to implement. For example, has the tool been checked for side-channel attacks? Has it had any other audits? (On the GitHub page of the library, it says it's no longer maintained)
Anyone know who is this RDG?
Do most boards have appreciable equity in the company? I don't think that's the norm for publicly traded companies.
The idea is that Uber (and Lyft) which has issues pushed out another system, which had a different set of issues, more unpleasant to the passenger in the case NYC (I live here and I agree).
> The presentation does leave out one very necessary requirement for becoming a good-to-great writer: you have to do a lot of reading.

I strongly agree. Based on my experience in my first profession, teaching school children throughout my 20s, I’d say that doing a lot of reading is more important than everything on these slides combined.
Years of crappy tricky interview processes have broken our brains.

This is probably not a great thread in which to have that conversation. Java isn't even implicated in the story, and this is a language-war topic.

We'd all be better off if this thread were actually a discussion of the libraries Dropbox released, and if subthreads like this dropped to the bottom of the page.

I downvoted you for that reason; not because it's a dumb question, but because it's in a very unfortunate spot on the thread.
Serious question, not having looked at their caching lib just yet, are they going to be able to beat groupcache, written by golang upstream?
Woo! Thanks, I just pushed a fix which should sort that out. Thanks for your feedback. Failed web fonts begone :)
Using Go (or Scala or Java or whatever) doesn't magically scale a large system.

Scaling problems in large systems are rarely solved at the micro level, i.e. you don't "scale" by simply gaining the ability to run more operations in a single thread. This is always the problem with "language X is more scalable than Y" debates. From my experience scale has little to do with language, everything to do with how you use it.

This post brings to mind another written by Alex Payne a few years back about scaling in the large vs. scaling in the small:

https://al3x.net/2010/07/27/node.html

The danger with making hand-wavy claims with very few technical details is that it perpetuates the notion that there are certain magic bullets out there that will magically make your system "scale" if you use them. In the past few years we've seen quite a few large companies in SV and SF make the switch to some shiny new language (Scala, anyone?) only to find several million dollars and many months later that they're still having conversations about how to make stuff scale. Only now they're talking about making it happen in a language that is fairly new to their organization and with which they have only a few real experts.
It's a slightly odd comment, SQL queries performed by a C driver are one of the times that you actually get to release the GIL and let the thread do its work without the python interpreter. Depending on the SQL engine, you're ok waiting for the sql backend in parallel, but you may suffer single threaded python object creation processing the result set.
I started with the open NLP packages, but I rewrote pretty much everything, including my own ML algos. Typically based on the open source one. I kept running into scaling and use case performance issues. On some occasions things I did turned out to be solutions I'd find buried in the language of some google paper, which is mildly frustrating.

Forex is a tricky space, volatility and fees can really funk you up. I do a little there because the returns tend to justify it. Be wary of smaller and or unknown names. Manually check out anything you allow your algos to trade... at least till you come up with a comprehensive set of rules you can trust.

I tend to stick to US equities. Just because my risk tolerance is low for what amounts to a side project using my personal funds. Which I'm often not looking at until all the trading is done for the day.
I'm detecting a different trend:

> HN post about any language > Snarky comment about any language > Language war

It's depressing that your comment has percolated to the top of the thread; it has nothing whatsoever to do with the story.

@OJFord your post spiked the docs and demo server considerably. Thank you for the attention and feel free to open an issue if you have any questions or suggestions.
Are you on mobile? Some mobile providers limit streaming quality and they do this by limiting bandwidth to streaming providers.

For example, Visible will never be faster than 2 Mbps to fast.com.

You’ll get faster on Speedtest.net because it doesn’t throttle non-video related sites.
Does anyone know some good reading material regarding the evolution of microchip design and fabrication? I found the article quite interesting, however many of the more technical terms flew over my head.
