Nothing about this is specific to R.

If you want to guarantee reproducible results you have to use a container/image with libraries added at build time. Anytime you are relying on floating versions or downloaded libraries you will have issues.
SystemZ, what was s390x/390 seems relatively well supported by IBM and Red Hat in my experience.
is bitcoin truly decentralized? in the sense that there’s a centralized ledger that anyone can access and see transactions? i know the ledger is copied and decentralized to all nodes but for instance if i go on the street corner and buy something with cash, no one in the world knows other than the participants. with bitcoin everyone in the world knows and it’s recorded for all time
Yes indeed. Mars entry, descent, and landing (EDL) is hard. On Earth it’s easy: we can use the thick atmosphere to decelerate to a gentle drop into the ocean. On the Moon it’s easy: the minimal gravity makes powered descent feasible. On Mars it’s hard: too much gravity for an easy powered descent, too little atmosphere for an easy aerobraked descent. Larger spacecraft such as Curiosity and Perseverance (sky crane) and Spirit and Opportunity (bouncing air bags) have to get creative.
With enough alternative commercial supporters, someone will fork and keep going. But in this case it looks like there was no ecosystem of alternative providers who could pick up the mantle.
Who knows? The point is that we don't know all of the ways that masks affect us.
Sure, but the message - that if it's a problem for Red Hat's Ansible team or Red Hat's mainframe Linux team, they should be doing the work needed to make it not a problem.

Ansible Tower subscriptions aren't exactly cheap, and neither is RHEL s390x. If there's not the fat to be uplifting the core infrastructure needed to run RHEL or Ansible on Red Hat's products, that's most likely a choice.
> I'm guessing it's just too painful?

Indeed. Although it is being worked on, the whole bootstrap process of rustc is currently a major hassle, requiring to start from the oldest CaML versions of the compiler up to the most recent ones.
The earliest versions of the rust compiler were written in Ocaml, which is also unlikely to have been built in a trusted way by these organizations. mrustc exists to be a way to bootstrap trusted builds of rustc.
If bitcoin has technical weaknesses you'd expect the dissent to come from the technologists first, no?
What does this mean for those of us who already use Stripe Connect? Do we get support for more countries automatically - do we have to change our code - will the v1 API stop working soon? Please send out an announcement current to Stripe Connect API users with upgrade information!

The new site is very pretty, but also very sluggish in Firefox.

yes, highlighting what is possible is always needs to be taken into account. But again, what is possible is not the same as what happens in reality. Just because we can't rule something out, does not make it certain either.

> the "speed" dial would be turned up as high as necessary

It's possible, and probable given the situation (i.e. government, terror acts), but are there situations where this wouldn't happen in a different circumstance? Would mall security, or a marketing company operating an advertising product, have the ability, authorization, know-how, or financial incentive to do so if this wasn't a life/death situation?

Not every application of facial recognition technology will be targeted to terror suspects/bombings.
Depends on how click-baity the link looks. If it seems genuinely interesting I'll open the comments and the article at the same time.
I wrote the comment thinking that the BSD releases in the early 1980s had been released under the 'BSD License', I even did some amount of checking (I can't remember what evidence in particular made me decide to post). I see from looking more carefully this time around that the ~1980 license from Berkeley was not the same thing as the later one.
This ignores all of the evidence that raising interest rates slows economic activity. In our currently economically weakened state raising interest rates would likely crush the economy into a depression.
When I see this, I think communism is inevitable. So much injustice has been done. How can the system possibly self-correct in a fair way without some radical intervention?

The only way to make it fair would be to abolish property rights and allow people to make arbitrary claims against any property.

Maybe cryptocurrency groups will be able to claim ownership of property based on the size of their groups. There needs to be some kind of fluidity of ownership to counter the injustice of having given asset holders so much free cash.

Just printing more money is not going to make it fairer; it will do the opposite because asset holders are just using it to buy up all assets.

Most jobs today involve people getting paid to support the interests of asset holders, not to deliver value to society. Human potential is being wasted on such a large scale, it's criminal.
Excuse me for the slight off-topic, but in regards to hair: has anyone noticed that people are shaving their heads randomly more during the pandemic? Maybe just boredom. Or a desire to self-actualize during the lockdown. What a weird way for humanity to react to a crisis. I did it too.
Netflix uses it for everything that you'd use Postgres for but:

- they have Cassandra committers (most end up going to Apple iCloud)

- they have mgmt. support to make it work

- they are/were on tokens for years, not vtokens, since their internal tools were token-based

(They started with Oracle Enterprise (and a little MySQL), tried Mongo briefly, then decided to make Cassandra work for them.)

Not your keys, not your coins Craig. You aren't Satoshi and you'll never be able to prove it and _EVERYONE_ is laughing at you buddy.
More people buying things makes them less affordable, not more. (At least until supply adjusts.)

I'm not understanding your logic - it seems backward to me.

Also we have never actually done "trickle down", it's a bogyman people like to trot out, not something actually done.
Unfortunately, the Russians have a very long history of bad rulers. These rules were constantly fighting with enemies outside and inside. Common people were suffering because of this, century after century. They were rebelling, time after time, and finally one of these rebellions succeeded, and the last Tzar was killed. Unfortunately, it turned out the new leaders are not any better, and again millions of Russians died.

So whenever someone conflates Russian rulers with Russian themselves, I feel really bad about it. Russian people are in no way different from any other nation, they are nice and friendy. If anything, I'd say they have several smart people and scientists vritually unkonwn in the West, which is a pity to both sides.
Government regulators tend to choke off vaccine development, but those policies would change in a hurry during a dangerous pandemic.

Of greater importance is a disease that there is a vaccine for but which the U.S. government is actively suppressing: smallpox. DNA synthesizers are already at the point where anybody who wants to can resurrect smallpox. It is only a matter of time before that scourge is set loose. The results will be ghastly.
Surveillance is rarely about the individual avoiding one specific mechanism and instead mostly about its subtile influence on society (like chilling effects, the reshaping of power structures, the shift of dependencies, etc.)

We should therefore care about increased surveillance even though we personally can avoid some specific measures.

We wouldn't question someones concern about climate change just because they live in some Russian perma frost region either.

Both are global issues.
Note that Nigerian-Americans are one of the highest earning and most successful immigrant groups in America, and I'm sure some more countries will follow. So there probably is one if you're selfish, because their kids can be your doctor in a few decades.
I mean, one of those trendy paper cup icons.
You cite a different story by the same author.
I have to disagree here, only in that learning to hack PHP has been my meal ticket for the last 3 years and it sure as hell pays better than being a line cook. It's also opened up opportunities in journalism that wouldn't otherwise exist for me-- mediocre hackers in newsrooms are as Gods. But I see what you're getting at.
As this is a job application of sorts I feel I should point out a typo:

"It gives you a peak at the engine of Steam."

should be

"It gives you a peek at the engine of Steam."
Is this using HTML 5 Web sockets?

It's a very cool experience. At first I just thought it was an animation, until I managed to coax all the other users into some sort of cursor mosh pit.

Could this be the potential future for social browsing, where each 'cursor' is tagged with the user name and you can actually observe users navigating through the pages of websites.
I've seen the argument that China likes that lots of US resources and attention is tied up with the axis of North Korea, Iran and Syria.

If that is true, then don't hold your breath for too much of changes in the NK status quo.
Lol, I didn't expect to have so many people on this site. I think the server is going to need a vacation soon.

YouTube Vitess provides servers and tools which facilitate scaling of MySQL databases for large scale web services.

> In the first 48 hours of the service going live, Magic co-founder Mike Chen said the service had already seen 17,000 text messages.

If this is the metric being offered as evidence of virality, and was likely given to investors, it's misleading. It implies at face value that 17k unique people tried out Magic, but transactions take many SMS messages, as evidenced by the example conversations given. This is why vanity metrics are a bad thing.

As with Meerkat, I am very skeptical of the short-term-virality-indicates-long-term-success logical fallacy that seems to permeate Silicon Valley nowadays.

I can't wait until every hackathon has endless amounts of poorly-thought-out "Magic for X" clones, as was the case with Yo.
Not the answer you were hoping for, but the book Discover Meteor is pretty great if you're just getting into Meteor.
Getting to the proof of concept like they did is easy. Going from there to having many millions of recurring users is not. They can easily be as big as Amazon's retail arm is, but they need to grow fast. After this $12m is spent on marketing and tech, you will have a much harder time competing with them with your two hours of configure editing. They have identified a good business model and are actively building a moat around it while we sit here debating.
> What value is there in trying to capture this bit of culture for girls?

You understand you're essentially saying comic books are not for girls? That seems to be the conclusion the daughter was nervously coming to when she asked her dad where the "real" comic books were. Also, there's nothing about digging a ditch that's exclusively male. The big deal might be something you can't quite see right now.
Sure - nor anything else I mentioned, nor anything in the post I replied to. They were just some non-superhero comics.
This has become the Tech Industries version of the OJ Trial.

As someone who followed that trial very closely, I think the coverage of this trial has been really good.
Granted that there will be some impact on the MIMO from the Iot device, but it will be lopsided as the MIMO can null out the IoT transmission. It can be looked at in a couple of ways: the IoT is having to spread its power more thinly than the MIMO, so the IoT tx will have less influence on the MIMO receiver than the MIMO tx will, or the MIMO's spatial coding gives a degree of isolation which benefits both the IoT and MIMO devices.

There will be a problem if there are a large number of close by IoT devices up against the MIMO, as their smallish contributions will sum up to something big. In that case the MIMO would need to improve its isolation from the IoT device by increasing its number of antennas or the quality of its processing.

As a side issue (doesn't really negate your argument), excessive transmission power is a cost for battery powered devices, so at least some of this IoT devices will be motivated to use their transmitted power more wisely.

To raise a new front in the argument :-), there is a case to be made that the ability of a device to cause interference isn't actually dominated by the power of its transmission, but by the information content of its transmission. Low information content means the signal is easier to predict and a smart enough receiver can predict the signal and cancel it out, leaving only the desired signal.
> No 46 year old wants to be doing the same thing for the same pay as a 26 year old.

Why not? Being a T5 SWE at Google is (or at least it can be) pretty chill. It's a sweet spot for low stress and relatively high compensation. Why exactly do you need to "advance" your career, particularly if you don't want to be actually or effectively managing other people?

The alternative is the "up or out" approach that drives engineers in other industries into being (usually bad) managers.
Thank you for the update, I did not know who she was but found the article and your text important, thanks.
But only when violence was on their literal doorsteps.
> This is a failure of leadership by the republicans - plain and simple.

The cops have a strange affinity for certain kinds of 'protesters' too, we all know it would end differently if BLM or 'Antifa' did this.
Most of them came out against Trump only so long as it didn't matter, and in the least effectual way they could. They also almost universally stopped even pretending once he was elected.
Usually revolutions are headed by the upper middle classes, not the lower classes. Che was a doctor. Pol Pot was educated at elite European schools. Heck, look at the founding fathers of the U.S. These were guys with education and money.
I mean, yeah, you're probably right. I might have stayed on the call if he'd explained why the actual code was necessary, could even have met me halfway by saying "Yeah, I know it's kind of silly, but it's a requirement. Would you mind doing this, and then we can get on to more interesting stuff?" Or something like that, but he didn't have any kind of friendly or diplomatic response, maybe I was feeling impatient that day; I honestly can't remember because this was like 10 years ago.
Too bad it's impossible to port something. Absolutely, completely impossible. In fact, once something is coded onto a platform, the cosmic censor prevents one from even using that brand in a different way on a different platform. See: Diablo, and it's PlayStation port: Devil Guy Visits Ratchet and Clank.

Flash is actually coded by chipping if-thens and loops into stone tablets for all of time.

For the benefit of the class, here is Ron Paul's legislative record, nicely laid out:

http://j.mp/cPogFY [thomas.loc.gov]

Sampling of the first page:

* A concurrent resolution prohibiting use of Federal funds for foreign travel by Senators, Representatives, and officers and employees of the Congress, unless such travel is specifically authorized by a recorded three-fourths vote of the House involved.

* A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to abolishing personal income, estate, and gift taxes and prohibiting the United States Government from engaging in business in competition with its citizens.

* A joint resolution to end the practice of guaranteeing or making available loans to foreign governments.

* A bill to repeal the Federal Reserve Act.

* Flat Rate Tax Act of 1983

* A bill to provide that for purposes of assessing the taxable gain of a taxpayer, the Internal Revenue Service shall treat income in the form of United States coins or currency as income received in the amount of the face value of such coins or currency.

* A bill to amend the Social Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 to make social security coverage completely optional for both present and future workers, to freeze benefit levels, to provide for the partial financing of future benefits from general revenues subject to specified conditions, to eliminate the earnings test, to make changes in the tax treatment of IRA accounts, and for other purposes.

* A bill to repeal all authority of the Federal Government to regulate wages in private employment.

* United Nations Termination Act

(These are old, but he re-introduces them regularly; just last year, he again proposed to abolish the income tax).

Yes, I do think Paul is a mendacious kook. But my point here is, a Paul bill is actually a counterindication of the sense of the House. The fact that Paul is the first to address the issue suggests that the rest of the House (along with 80% of Americans, according to a CBS poll) don't think this is a real issue.
You say you offer, do you mean you have products that we can buy today? If so, what is the price for your 32" product and can we see detailed specs and a youtube video of it in action?
The article isn't saying 'wow, monkeys can do this amazing thing we cannot', it's saying 'wow, monkeys have the awareness of their heart beat, something that's integral to them, too'.

It's hard to phrase because obviously the claim isn't they understand what it is etc.
Why does it matter whether one's ancestors were indigenous or not?

Either they found some land that was uncontended, or they fought for it. I guess finding and making use of uncontended land has the moral high ground, but I think it's the exception. And if one's ancestors fought for it, I don't see why "I was here first" gives any special moral high ground. Especially because "here first" is not always very clear.
Globally, counting "normal people"... sure.

People discussing this here in these threads.... i think atleast 80% of them have both ability and means to do so. .
Is Notion using CRDTs?
>> Our site: operator (which hardly anyone uses) is having issues which we are looking into

I noticed problems with their site: operator too earlier today, and still now as well. In my case, when I used it in a search I saw that the word “site” itself was also bolded in some results. So it looks like it is using the operator itself also as a search term, which it shouldn’t.

I find it surprising that hardly anyone uses it though.
Maybe I’m missing some context but YAGNI wouldn’t seem to apply here because if you think you’re building sales as a service, you do need that stuff. What you encountered sounds like a traditional lack of product management focus and/or solid engineering leadership.
I hope so, otherwise I will need to see a doctor
You not being able to pay for hosting is a bit difference in scope then not bring able to feed yourself the correct number of calories for multiple days at a time.
Yes, you need an effort-reward loop to learn something.
The site doesn't do a very good job of telling me what it does.

After scanning for several seconds, I'm now aware that I can "Listen, react and retain". None of those are things I need to do right now, so away I click...

Now if you'd started off with saying something about the fact that you're for businesses and that you do customer feedback (instead of sort of whispering it up top), then we'd be getting somewhere. You see, my website might actually need to listen, react and retain stuff.

So yeah, it's pretty, and it gets a message across. Unfortunately the message it gets across is not parseable without some forknowledge of what your site does.

Here's a quick counterexample from a site I'm building right now:

http://www.fairtutor.com/

Give that link 5 seconds, then come back here and let us know if you can tell what the site does.
ActiveRecord is godawful as soon as you want to use for something that wasn't in mind when people designed it. I'm working on a Ruby application that has to talk to a legacy database with composite keys and does so via ActiveRecord. Oh, the pain.

As others say in this thread: ActiveRecord makes easy/simple things very easy. Unfortunately, it makes harder things damn near impossible. To aggravate matters, people that only use it for what it was designed for, tend to blame you, instead of acknowledging that it may very well be that their favorite tool doesn't support a particular kind of use.
Properly, but only because for generations you had the money to throw at the problem - the US powerhouse used to be able to pay extra because it was the economy on the planet that was in the best shape.
You're right, Paul, there's no evidence of any of this at all.

There's no evidence of pharma companies lobbying for more lax FDA regulations.

There's no evidence of the automative industry lobbying against higher CAFE standards.

There's no evidence of utilities companies lobbying against net neutrality.

There's no evidence of the last midterm election cycle seeing an amount of private spending nearly double the previous record.

Meanwhile there's an abundance of evidence that poor people are successfully lobbying for a higher living wage, longer unemployment benefits, and access to quality healthcare.
I've been thinking about some of this for a while. Someday I'd like to try an experiment where companies ignored College education and up but recruited at the High School level with the intention of taking someone from Intern to Highly Skilled worker. Something like the apprenticeship model from the past. In some ways I think College and Post-Grad education is overkill for some careers and an apprenticeship/intern model would be superior.

Unfortunately I'm not the Founder/Entrepreneur type so I'm unlikely to ever own my own company to try the program out in. Maybe I'll be able to convince an employer to try it someday.
Interesting related fact:

Meteorites (as in: Rocks falling from the Sky) were not acknowledged as real until 1803. Only then did a large meteorite shower in France give enough evidence for the general public to acknowledge their existence.

Of course meteorites had fallen before and were even in people's homes (who just picked them up). But they were dismissed as conspiracy theories/hoax.

However, please don't misunderstand this comment as me saying you should believe in flat-earth theories and similar nonsense.
