I have to enthusiastically agree. Speakeasy's support has been amazing. I fear it will decline with all the times the company has changed hands. Always straight to the point after telling them what I've already done. And I've paid the insane price of $60/mo for 1.5 Mb down for quite some time pretty must solely based on their support.

But I have to say, I'm looking at switching to faster and cheaper--I just can't imagine that this support will last since they've recently gotten bought again.
Your religion must be private.

If you intend to make religion public via pony tails, emblems, beards, burkah, turbans etc, you're advertising your religion viz http://goo.gl/dHSA8
Govt will regulate every advertisement.

The rate at which we replace infrastructure is disgusting. That line should absolutely be increasing, and it should be frightening that it's leveled off for residential and commercial. The fact that our infrastructure is disposable is an embarrassment.

I rode my bike into Phoenix today, for the first time, and it was just miles and miles of brand new strip malls, Wal-marts, shitty restaurants, and parking lots. We'll use all that crap until it gets old and ugly (less than 20 years) and then move on to the next sexy redevelopment.

It's such a goddamn waste. And this guy thinks the government should be building infrastructure that way. Good god.
As a counter point to your first item - the government now doesn't really tell you who you can and can't marry, at least from a religious perspective. However, in the US at least, marriage is often done both religiously and legally, which imparts a whole slew of rights, obligations, and benefits. From the legal and governmental perspective, polygamy is an abuse of this (see the documented cases of welfare abuse in Utah, for instance).

Back to the point though - you could get married to 10 spouses in front of God and your friends and never tell the government about it, and I doubt they would care (unless your cohabitation violated some health code or something).
The problem with laws and regulations kowtowing to religion is who is the arbiter of authentic religions vs. other arbitrary mumbo jumbo? What stops me (or L. Ron Hubbard) from inventing a religion specifically contrary the law so I can evade responsibility for paying tax, enslavement, or eating babies?
>Another thing that bugs me is that I like having fine-control over my markup. I’d also rather keep the “style stuff” completely out of my markup. Separation of concerns is always good thing

Not always, and this is a good example.

HTML is not supposed to be some clean semantic layer, and treating it as such doesn't make things better. Sure, you can keep some style separate but don't overdo it and don't fall for the "semantic" structure BS.

HTML is part of your presentation layer. You need to craft it to work well with what you want to show. Were you need to have sound semantics is your data layer -- that would be your DB/NoSQL/REST service/whatever source.

You're not gonna screen-scrap your pages to extract data out of them to have to care about semantics and separation -- for that you're gonna build services or talk to the DB directly.

Designers, who didn't have much experience in actual MVC history, and were oversold BS terms like 'semantic' they didn't understand, created this whole confusion in webpage development. Instead of asking for proper "black-box" separation between UI/style and code, they treat HTML as some bastard child between data (semantics) and presentation.

Consider how in GUI programming (which is 100 times more mature than the HTML/CSS/JS etc mess) the UI part is not meant to be semantic or anything. It's just a blob of style and output specs.

Having "Semantic HTML" is nothing to be proud of. It's mostly a continued cargo cult, from people with no GUI experience. And it carries all the myths with it (re-usability -- as if the reusable layer would be your HTML and not your data, re-styling with just CSS -- as if anything bigger than a personal site or a free-styling experiment like CSS Zen Garden doesn't require template changes too, etc).
Only mentioned as windows are biggest heat loss sources other than doors, and this bus has tons of windows obvsly.

I'm with you on that point. What's the least flammable insulation available for body filling, fiberglass?

Edit: ceramic or rock wool perhaps, but mind the dust and know which treatments were applied.
In a country where single men outnumber single women by up to 3,000 to 1, creating a dating app where the male creator is the only man allowed might sound like a good idea. Unfortunately, it isn't much more likely to get him a date in the United States of America where 98% of women born after 1980 are lesbian, many are in gangs, and they are nothing but selfish, unapproachable, and spoiled rotten with a bad attitude, most women are obese and the only reason they are single is because their own tremendous girth is keeping men away like a cement wall, and the only attractive straight ones are 90210-minded gold diggers aka you better be financially capable of living in Beverly Hills, California, or even Hidden Hills, California (which is similar to Beverly Hills, except Hidden Hills is a gated community).

The dating scene for men sucks in the United States. American women are worthless trash. They are nothing but drama just waiting to happen. Prison terms, restraining orders, divorce, a criminal record for the man. The only logical thing to do is save up some money and GET OUT of America! Countries like Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Thailand, France, and Greece have far superior quality women who are not one or the other; either morbidly obese with an unattractively massive girth, man-hating lesbians, or 90210-minded gold diggers.

I don't know why your comment is being downvoted. This is the usually the root of work frustrations I have seen people have (including in startups).

If your goal is to achieve public acclaim And recognition, you will do things differently vs. say a goal of work on intellectually stimulating things vs. say controlling the decisions in a company. I have a colleague who once got a kick out being the one to sign the cheques of major celebrities who endorse our brands and you'll have a different kind of career path if that's your goal vs. say the kicks a financial trader gets.

Problems usually happen with job satisfaction when either goals aren't clear or you're optimizing towards conflicting goals.
The higher quality does seem specific to the Pixel though, comparison https://twitter.com/reckless/status/1187557180276445186
We do. We considered Bulma but when you look at the comparison it is not a strong incentive to switch just for the sake of it. Also IE11, for the time being.

True. But Darwin is still not a thing :)
There is no real community, bug tracker, etc. My point that it's just an Apple code dump remains valid, I think.
I dearly wish that I could use rr and Pernosco, but I do graphics work and GPUs don't work with fancy debuggers. The state of GPU debugging is even more dire than CPU debugging.
I had a similar experience with Emacs LSP earlier, but I revisited last week and things have significantly improved for C/C++. lsp-mode and ccls work great, even with cross-compiling. Just two small use-package additions to init.el and "it just works". I will also say I tried VSCode this week using the same compile_commands.json, and it is impressive.
doesn't the default twitter embed include the original text of the tweet in the embed code, and then just dynamically load in the like/retweet counts and branding?

at least that's the way it looks when they load on a ridiculously slow internet connection, i've never actually looked at the embed code.
This is neat, but really disappointing that there is no feedback when you're at the top/bottom and try to scroll further. It'd be so natural to have this bouncy effect happen in-place to let you know you've reached the end.

rust-bindgen (modeled after Clay's bindgen tool) has you covered:

C header files go in, the proper Rust definitions come out. There are long-term plans to adopt this as an official tool to be distributed with the compiler.
Author here. This is a website which uses edit requests inspired by GitHub's pull requests and StackOverflow-inspired reputation system to manage crowd-sourced database. This approach should allow anyone to contribute but still ensure high content quality.

The contribution system is still being actively developed, but our main goal is to make it simple, because unlike GitHub or StackOverflow, our site is for the general public, not just programmers.
I couldn't imagine trying to read Wolfe with English as a second language — definitely commendable! One thing I'd recommend if you're giving it another go is to read the chapters, then listen to Alzabo Soup (the podcast) afterwards. It's a spoiler-light discussion of the book, and they highlight a lot of things I missed on the first read.

Another recommendation is to try the Book of the Long Sun series instead. I actually recommend that to folks more frequently if they aren't sci-fi readers. I think it's a bit more approachable in terms of language, and the tone is very different. There's also no character like Severian in that series, which I think is a good thing.
There's such a poetic justice that Sheats, who was a world-class player, also helped design The Who’s Tommy pinball game.

Your advisors were acting in your best interest. There is a time and place for readable science, and your thesis is not it. It has nothing to do with the power of the guild, and everything to do with assessing your knowledge and preparation.

The purpose of your thesis is to demonstrate to them (and perhaps the larger scientific community) that you can communicate to other scientist in the language of the field, that you possess the requisite knowledge, and that you are prepared to advance that field.

There is no guild, but there are gate keepers (reviewers of various sorts) and you must be prepared well enough to make convincing cases (for publication, funding, etc.) Your advisors were training you for this role.
It worked out very well for the founders of all of those companies.
Internet protocols are "text pull" protocols almost exclusively in heritage. They're... FTP in drag.
Maybe not exactly new, but hot and for sure something you don't want to miss and probably don't know yet:

Learn how your operating system's network stack works, how you can manipulate behavior with sysctls or kernel arguments, maybe dive into stuff like the BSDs.

Also you may want to extend your horizon and get into nginx, smtp, shell scripting, etc., if you don't know them well. All of those offer way more than the basics and things can come in handy.

You might want to go into the field of virtualization, but please don't start out with Docker. Docker is nice, but you really want to understand the basics first (LXC, virtualization in general). There are awfully lot of bad Docker setups, just because it is hot.

Another thing that one can spend quite a while getting into is uwsgi. One can use it for way more than managing Django or Flask applications.

Securing services with SSL is also something a lot of people seem to do wrong, so actually understanding the details of what you do might be something you might want to dig into.

When it comes to DevOp tools you might want to take a look at agent-less alternatives to Puppet (Ansible, Rex, cdist).

Another interesting thing is logging. The Elastic Search/Kibana stack is hot and relatively new (at least the latest/upcoming release of Kibana).
Google has something like a $170B market cap on the open market. Facebook at $70B doesn't seem so insane in that context does it?
Wow. Thats much better said that the initial post. :)
If I could rely on a streaming movie from Netflix to play uninterrupted and without flaws from beginning to end, it would be wonderful.

That, and if I could find the movies I want to watch, of course.

The reality for me, at least, is that I cannot watch two hours of streaming video from Netflix without the picture freezing or skipping at some point, even if it's just a little bit.

I love film, and that's unacceptable. I need to either go to the store and get the DVD, rent a download (not streaming) from iTunes, or hit the high seas. I need to watch movies when I want, and I need them to play perfectly.

That rules out Netflix, at least for me, at least for now.
AFAICT, from a number of attempts I've read about in many communities:

1. Get the tech people together

2. Have a sensible plan to roll it out, backed by a utility or municipal government (so that they can levy a charge on all residents for initial costs), supported by your community, and with all due diligence done and paid for

3. Get your pants sued off by whoever is currently providing high-speed

Nothing you just said is in the marketing material for this. Instead, it promises to be (paraphrased generously) so secure that not even the operators can tell what people are saying over the service.
Actually the correct thing would be not to give your email password to 3rd party website especially if you know will panic afterwards for every strange IP you'll see in your logs.

The credit card comparison doesn't really make sense as credit cards were especially designed to be used the way we use them.

Email accounts haven't been designed to be used in such a fashion as to allow 3rd party applications access them. Especially not the kind of email services where you don't have access to the server / firewall. What Google is providing is a nice thing but you only get the see the last 10 entries or so. What happens when you go on vacation ? What happens if you use some other email provider ?

My point is that the main conclusion of your blog post should be about how you control this but how you should avoid doing this in the first place.
Surely if the page says that they're shipping on x date when the customer ordered and the person with this problem can prove that to google this is a non issue. Isn't the issue here that the person hasn't got any evidence of the shipping? If he could say to google "customers ordered on 28/04/2010 and it stated the item would be shipped on 28/07/2010" that would be enough?

I used SQLite until I found a query that locked it up seemingly forever. It had 2 inner joins. It worked with 1 inner join - NOT 2. The author of SQLite said "Not my problem buddy, it's yours". So I'm switching to PostGRE (which CAN handle those 2 inner joins) or a Microsoft SQL.
Hahaha I suppose there are lots of examples from which you could choose!

Personally, I love lolcats. To each his own. ;)

The whole premise of these types of cooperatives is that they pay certain types of workers above-market wages. That puts them in a tough spot when facing competition that pays at market, since the competition can take that extra money and invest it back into the app and make a better service.
In some languages like Hy you’re allowed to use any characters in names, and are encouraged to use one-letter names for so-called tag macros.

Yes,I'm not disputing that, however it then becomes possible to find a second job,or some side gig. Also, I'm not sure I follow the logic of reduced hours.For instance, a company employs 10 people full time.Then the state hikes up the min wage and suddenly thy all cost 10% more to the company.If the company reduces the headcount,it also reduces its productivity if nothing else changes, so it ends up costing even more to the company. Am I missing something?

TDD means writing tests before code

At a very high level:
Write the most basic case and it will fail (no code written). Write code so the test passes.

Now write another test that will fail. Then write code so that tests passes.

It forces you to write code in a way that is testable and you catch any regressions if previous tests fail.

In the end... you shouldn't.... write any code that isn't required to pass a test.

Honestly a lot of the problem is: people aren’t studying systems engineering OR security. Look at all the “learn to code in 21 days” BS and all the code academies.

There’s so much emphasis on abstracting away the systems with cloud-this and elastic-that and developers don’t know much about general systems engineering.

My recommendation to software developers: take the Network+ and Security+ exams at the bare minimum.

Honestly as much as people complain about process getting in the way of things, there should be checks and balances at any business that deals with personal information. Finance institutions are heavily regulated—these fkers should be held accountable.

To say American and Chinese companies are operating on the same part of the spectrum shows how ignorant your comment is. Fwiw, the Chinese govt might have access to all the data on your OnePlus phone and you won't have any idea about it.

American system is driven by rule of laws. Legislature and Judiciary are two independent branches. It is not like China where Executive says something and then Judiciary is scared to act against it because, tomorrow, they may end up in a training camp.

That´s the mac way, right. They decide I have to use my computer a certain way, even if all my other computers work differently, and there´s no way to get the same behavior as on every other Laptop I have (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS). I'd rather be "running out of trackpad space", which is not an issue on those giant Macbook track pads, instead of having to wait for the drag to settle after each drag - or worse, constantly mis-dragging because the behavior, the feel of dragging, is different on MacOS than elsewhere.
Yeah, guess that the Wikimedia guys are not adepts of the "name and shame" method. Although it would be entirely justified in this case, and stop people trying to guess it and implicating the wrong app...
The original commenter offered his story as an issue with Ruby preventing X.

Pull your heads in until you've actually solved a real-world problem yourself.

Some time we'll get round to writing this up but there's a small customer of Cloudflare that gets a very high HTTP requests per second rate. It's a simple service (bit like a "what's my IP address" but not that) and it turns out that a quite popular hardware device hard-coded requests to this service and doesn't appear to cache the results and so it asks over and over and over again for the same information.

We've contacted the manufacturer and I think it's been patched but the life time of installed equipment is long...

Yesterday: over a billion HTTP requests...
I'm a layman but I don't think that's fair. When I think about "good AI", that we haven't achieved yet, I think about Data from Star Trek. I'm pretty sure we'll know when we've reached that level of AI. We're not there yet.

Half agree: this level of optimization is less useful when you're not starting from Google's performance baseline. That said, can't agree with point generally applied to load times: optimizing them made a difference even at BCC scales back in 2008ish.
