> They didn't answer it. They assumed it.

Which is another way of saying: they didn't answer it. Because it wasn't necessary for the dispute in hand.

> But Thomas' dissent addressed the issue of the case, and arguably more directly than the majority's.

Thomas invented what he thinks Congress intended, through the usual the-law-is-only-what's-written-except-when-I-don't-like-it of American conservative jurisprudence. The copyright act was unclear on this question and that's why it came to court. The majority dealt with the actual dispute.

It should be noted that I prefer strict Dixonian legalism as a jurisprudential style. Thomas doesn't really do that. He cosplays.
Thanks for the positive feedback :D John here from Minus!
Bad site design, it might have had the features but poor presentation killed it as much as anything.
Interesting thoughts about the psychology of the writer - how s/he's affected by the "payment" or "firewall" status of the site. Feld's reactions match what I've sort of expected from myself if in a write-for-fee mode.

Most other discussions have been geared toward the reader's reaction. I think the impact on authors is equally significant (and might need to be addressed differently?).
I can definitely see this being more convenient, and the way you've implemented it is certainly slick.

I'd be more interested if it was offered as a service for image hosting/uploading that other sites could use rather than forcing everyone to roll their own Java/Flash/JS+HTML/HTML variants for every new site they do.
I highlight text as I read and found the highlighter popup very distracting and annoying.
I really want to hear the Simplenote/Simperium group talk (YC S10) about their experience:
http://simplenoteapp.com/about/
I love their app and I'm really curious to how their experience with App Engine has been.

___

As far as my personal experience goes, I just learned Python/AppEngine a couple weeks ago, and within a day or two I wrote a "random button" for a blog I like:

http://www.iwrotethisforyou.me/
(If you look at the URL of the "random post" link on the right, it goes to my appengine app)

From what I've read, there really is a certain "style" of app that fits well with GAE, namely one that fits within their requirements. Simplenote may just be the prime example of that. Also it has close integration with Google services (Blogger, Picasa, etc) which is what allowed me to so easily pull data from that blog with my app.

I personally see it as a great choice for Android (and possibly iPhone) Developers looking to serve a lightweight and easily scalable backend to support their mobile devices. I say Android because each Android device required a Google login, which will authenticate easily with App Engine. This is what I'm planning to do as a next step for my Android App.
While, I don't really like that these "offenses" are stored permanently, I would like a way to anonymously notify a driver they're doing something wrong.

I can't stand smokers that throw their (sometimes still lit) butts out the window. It would be nice to have some way to vent other than road rage.
Throwing money at existing schools is unlikely to create such an environment - the bureaucratic inertia is too large.

I disagree. It seems it's always easier for a banker turned political appointee to gather some social credibility by proposing starting something from scratch rather than improving what's already there.

I mean which is going to give you more social points at the next fund raiser for the MMA: A) "I want to help these schools expand their campus's no matter what the political opposition" or B) "I have a vision for making NYC the country's next great tech capital".

The idea that a government planned activity is going to cultivate an institution the likes of which happens one or twice a century is pretty preposterous.

I also think you may be dismissing the schools I mentioned too easily. They are all "top rated". I would consider several to be in the top ten engineering schools in the country.
Yes, I read the first entry. The use case that particularly came to mind when I said it seemed like they were outsourcing their core competency was actually the location of data centers and other such physical constraints, like peering arrangements. They're stuck with Amazon's decisions on that front. Granted they're probably large enough to get Amazon to do whatever it is they need to do, heck they can probably all but simply purchase a new data center and announce to Amazon that Amazon now has a new data center to manage :), but it still seems like an odd choice of control to release.
I have a suspicion what you are trying to tell me is at the root of this. But, no I do not remember any complex math. Yes, I took multiple calculus classes in college, but I don't remember any of it. That was decades ago.
Azure wasn't so much "Amazon has EC2? We should have our EC2 as well!", Azure was one of the few products Microsoft actually succeeded in launching. Otherwise, Ballmer greeted Microsoft with a series of failures...only when Ballmer has no control does the company actually succeed.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6156238
.NET started as COM2 back in 1998 along with a predecessor of C#, so I'm disinclined to give ballmer credit for it. Likewise, Kinect was brought to Microsoft by an Israil R&D firm, it was not home grown.

Kudos for executing, but the vision thing was always missing with Ballmer. He didn't just miss mobile, he laughed at it. He will be remembered for Windows Vista.
And inflation. Dividends averaged 1.5% during this period, inflation about 3%. So really we're looking at a ~15% decline in value.
I just won't agree that eating Soylent on a regular basis is as healthy as taking your time and sharing non-McDonald's meals with your friends and/or family.

Assuming you're an extrovert. I'm an introvert and I eat alone. Most days, it's the only time I get to be alone and recharge.

I guess I feel like Soylent is encouraging social isolation, and helping people to deprive themselves of the physical pleasure of eating.

Not everybody is wired the same. I know plenty of people who get no physical pleasure from eating. They look at those with food addiction and simply don't get the appeal. They'd rather be doing something productive/social/physical/recreational. I'm personally not one of those people, but I can understand where they're coming from. For some people, running marathons gives them a high bigger and better than any drug. I look at those people and simply don't get the appeal. :)
Agree with the message, programming is really hard, and the earlier you realise it the better it is. Having “programmed” for the greater part of the last decade, starting out with ‘scientific computing’ in Fortran and matlab (I was doing chemical engineering), then spending precious time believing (and learning) that C and C++ are ‘the’ languages and having pop science ideas that Java is slow (‘it’s GC after all’), only to realise its much faster than C++ if you do ‘new’ a lot, I realised how less I knew about how hard programming really is. Just a glimpse of the hardships I went through. All this meandering was due to the belief that programming is easy (peddled around by legions of tech blogs and YT channels), and that there’s only a little more that CS students learn as part of UG degree curriculum.

Right now I am doing SICP and it’s giving me the essential ideas which all CS students learn but which hardly any programming blogs recommend to beginners. Learnt so much already (I am halfway though chapter 2), I now realise it was never about the language, it’s the ideas and techniques like recursion and FP that are the core of programming.

There’s no need to say that programming is easy, just tell people what they really need to do to be good programmers. And without a strong CS foundation it’s very hard.
Gitea maintainer here :) Is there an issue/PR you can point me to? I'd be happy to take a look and see if we can get it on the roadmap. We're working on improving testing strategy to reduce new bugs. We don't include front-end in our tests right now, which is imo our biggest issue. Would love some help with the this. We just support so many platforms, databases, and config options it's difficult to catch everything. It's a great project to work on and there is plenty of room for improvement!
> I could imagine myself enjoying being at the office much more in such a place.

It gets old too. There is a reason why companies create an environment like that and it's not to make you genuinely happy. I hope this dip into remote work makes people move somewhere they like, being able to create a work from home environment, work (remotely) for a company that doesn't make them miserable and focus on the things that really matter in life.
>glassdoored

I hope you meant reported to regulators
>and yet the defensiveness is so reflexively strong

It's hard not to get defensive because this reddit post is basically flamebait:

>use of words like sapping and deadend

>"there's little to no payoff for the rest of humanity"

Like you said we can probably discuss this question without getting defensive but it's impossible thanks to the way it's worded.
What was so painful about it? Unless you're making some really significant changes to your models, Django's migration commands handle 99.9% of cases including most common edge cases. I can't imagine it being any easier, and certainly haven't seen any other web frameworks handling migrations any better.
I've been consistently amazed at how far companies can get on shoddy code.

In my experience, even majorly successful startups that turn into companies worth 10's of billions tend to have lots of technical debt.

Honestly, I believe that at some scale its very difficult to get the caliber of experience and talent that can keep a codebase clean.

People often say accruing technical debt is a form of shortcutting to a more business focused goal, but in my experience the technical debt is almost always created by accident through lack of experience rather than a conscious tradeoff. Especially when you consider a SaaS company where your product lives forever and is meant to scale, taking on technical debt for short term gain is almost never the right decision.

Not to reopen the 10x engineer debate, but I've observed that the top 20% of engineers tend to do 80% of the total work of an org. Of course, 10x is relative... But there are definitely individuals that are 10x more productive than the median engineer. And for whatever reason, that seems more to do with an individual's personality and drive than their level of experience... Though of course experience helps.

Especially as a project scales, somebody who makes good technical decisions will only increase the productivity margin between themselves and others. What I see in a lot of these SaaS codebases is that it takes a week to do something that should take 1 day, due to amount of technical debt and spaghetti code.

Software is still a new industry. I fully believe the companies that win in the long run will be the ones that have the best codebases (assuming software is what differentiates your business). The impact that it has on velocity is just monumental.

Code quality and philosophy of well written code is not stressed at all in school... One example of how far off we are from maturity as a discipline. There is a whole school of thought that's currently neglected that will become mainstream in the future IMO. Similar to other engineering disciplines...
I think some of us older folks have a hard time shaking the notion that gaming is nerdy. When I was a kid, you didn't tell people you played video games. Today it's a streamed e-sport in which people make huge sums of money. The transition was, I think, surprisingly fast and very unexpected back then.

As a kid I said I played Secret of Mana on a weekend (SNES) and for the rest of that school year I was taunted and called "Secret Banana", haha. How far we've come. Or have we.
Good and welcome progress - eventually I hope there will be better interop between .NET and Java platforms.

Meanwhile most Microsoft shops view any non-MS technology as if it were a plague.
and way easier to workaround, nothing to cut simply duplicate the wireless signal.
Anything rfid can easily be duplicated.
Yes, it's funny how they did not support C# and now someone built something much better for it.
You're running on the assumption that a regular person knows what a URL is, or what a ccTLD is. Most people don't know or care, which is why Google's AMP project has never really made waves in mainstream media. People just click on links, they don't go to URLs.

Personally, I blame smartphones for this, however I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. Provided that sites such as Google, Facebook and even HackerNews don't have dynamic content, that is.

Why remember a URL when you can just click on a link? On websites that aren't content aggregators (like this one), one can assume that the position of links won't change too much over time.

With an aggregation website, however, that simply isn't true. Content on the front page changes over time, which is why noting down URLs or at least bookmarking stuff is important so that one can cite one's sources and re-read articles/information. If one just relies on clicking things on an aggregation website, one can't always be sure that the link you click will be there tomorrow.
(And I expect someone both wealthy and vain enough to consider this would just get around that one with tailoring).
I don't think I've discussed my weight before here.

I once lost 65lbs over 8 months by eating two small meals a day. I went "cold turkey" in to that diet, and the first week sucked, but I got through it. I transitioned to a normal diet after that and maintained my weight for a year and half until I got a job that stressed me out and I stress-ate.

I got sick a month ago (symptoms unlrelated to COVID) and couldn't keep food down. I used that opportunity to transition again to a very-low-calorie diet once I got better. Being sick made the transition much easier (no hunger pains).

I already feel better after one month. I think I can pull this off again for another 8 months and get to the top-end of the recommended weight range for my height.

Here's to looking forward to the months ahead (I suppliment with multivitamin and magnesium/zinc suppliments).
> they are using static linking

Ah, that would probably be it.
My "resume" these days is a PDF of my LinkedIn profile. I hear from recruiters weekly or so (sometimes with relevant jobs) and I get an almost 100% interview rate when I send resumes out so this seems to be "good enough".

The trouble for me isn't "producing a resume" it's that I'm picky about the work I do and I'd like to pre-qualify potential employers such as: won't send me a soft phone that doesn't work, doesn't use Altassian products (I can't stand clicking "Submit" on Confluence and waiting 30 seconds), the project isn't already two years late, etc.
Might be different if you have a Canadian passport, than if you have a Pakistani passport.
Senator Manchin is doing what America does.

We live in a country where a Governor will ban large soda's for our protection.

Every bag comes with a warning "not a toy".

Houses come with disclaimers not to eat the paint chips.

Raw Milk (which I wouldn't touch) is illegal for public safety.

By all counts, Bitcoin is scarier than any of these things. If not banned it should have warnings. We don't have a good way to put warnings on it so we ban it. Right wrong or indifferent that is what America does. Manchin is just making sure he gets credit for an idea that was sure to come up.
What's the clear "money" reason? Because you could just as easily argue that it makes financial sense to support the steam deck - it's a mobile platform that they easily could support by sideloading (i.e. without paying the platform owner), which has been their big fight the entire time?
What is the best way to manage keys considering:

(1) Unique keys per service?
(2) Easy portability?
(3) Syncronization of keys across multiple computers? Or unique keys on each device?
(4) Expiry/Rotation of keys
(5) Protection of keys such that they are only "usable/unlockable" via password as opposed to being accessible by any person who may sit down at your computer when you're away for five minutes.

Etc.

Good key management and practices are one of those things that are never really taught anywhere and most people get into managing theirs haphazardly with little consideration of best practices and best protection.
Yes you can. Anyone willing to write a feed handler for these feeds can. For example, https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=totalview and http://www.nyxdata.com/openbook.
As kasey_junk mentioned, availability is on an exchange basis, so I'm not sure if all exchanges provide this service.

I was talking about the sophistication of low latency trading in Canada and that only. In the states, there aren't a ton of exchanges and ETN and dark pools, with different matching engine rules and all that crap. If I am a sophisticated low latency firm, I wouldn't want any exchange added 'extras' to get in the way.

IMHO, I think retail investors are better served and have less chance of being thrown on a roller coaster ride by runaway algos in Canada compared to the U.S., and that's a good thing.
I spent several years at MS, 3 as an FTE, and Microsoft is definitely in decline, partly due to stack ranking, partly due to general cultural shifts from being a big, lumbering company.

One of the things you have to realize is that a lot of the dynamics of the company over the last decade have caused a mind boggling amount of talent to simply evaporate out of the company. Many of the "fuck you I'm fully vested" folks who were around in the earlier days of MS either checked out or peaced out whenever they hit their personal bullshit thresholds. More recent hires have generally found that other companies are often more exciting, more rewarding, and more lucrative to work at. MS today tends to punish caring about things (not always, but more often than not). If you try to make a difference and put forth the effort to make merely sensible changes then you'll spend years struggling against the system and if you're lucky you'll only have moderate success to show for it.

And the stack ranking system tends to reward people who are good at gaming the system rather than those who are good at actually delivering anything of substantive value to end users.

Naturally, all of this tends to be very discouraging to engineers, especially those with a bit of maturity and experience who see that with their talent and skills they could go elsewhere and not get shit on all the time, work for a company they wouldn't be embarrassed about, and actually get stock options that are worth something. And, since techies tend to value working alongside other techies that they admire and look up to this sort of process tends to be a positive feedback loop.

It's simply unimaginable that this loss of talent hasn't had a huge impact on the company.
It seems pretty clear that, to come up with these numbers, they took mortality figures from people with lots of exposure, divided their exposure down into small chunks, and assumed that everything scaled linearly.

I mean really, 1 hour in a coal mine and you get black lung? Absurd. Would 1 minute in a coal mine be 1/60th of a micromort? Would 1 second in a coal mine be 1/3600th of a micromort? Of course not, and of course not. Black Lung is caused by long term exposure.

You are not rolling a million-sided die every hour you are in a coal mine.
One could write a real 2D graph diffing system, it is not inconceivable, at least. However, you won't get this for free by diffing a textual representation of the graph.

One simple hack is to take each version, set transparency to 50%, and then overlay them.
Elm could do this, and it would also benefit from a graph editor that knew about the types
This seems needlessly petty and childish. Is there a real need to tell someone that you're not interested in what they have to say? Just stop listening.

Am I missing something?
That would be awesome!

I checked out your site and I have some suggestions if you'd like:

- Organize by area instead of climb. Usually climbers will stay in one area for the whole day, so it'd be nice to have a list of boulder problems or routes that they can quickly access or print off.

- Seems like this could be a great way for new areas to be documented! Have you thought about lettings users enter more specific data? Things that climbers care about include: sport or trad, # of draws, grade, weather conditions, rope length required, etc.

Unfortunately I've got no advice for monetization, but since you are pretty far along already I wish you good luck and hope you'll keep at it!
Simple rate-limiting / DOS prevention would be plenty given the volume of tweets.
The main complaint I have, and this is extremely vague, is that the design looks "amateur". It's minimalistic, but not because you've deliberately chosen to make it so, but rather, because you don't know what else to put on the page.

What I'd like to see would be: (1) a better header, and (2) some sort of sidebar explaining the site.

(1) The half-vignette at the top of the page is ruined by the placement of a blue logo in the line of focus. Lose the vignette, and expand the logo to fill the top of the page.

(2) A sidebar would serve the purpose of (a) explaining what the site is for, as it's not immediately clear from the domain name or scanning the page. I've been in the climbing community for ten years, and I have no idea what the slang "thrutched" is supposed to mean. You could also add a call to action like "Submit your climbing link!"

Finally, a pet peeve. Can you change "next page" to something else? It sounds too blog-like as it is.

That said, your site certainly looks a lot better than digg did in v1.
Mind if I ask you where you can get these data?

I'm a semi hard-core NBA fan.
Yes it's very similar. But The Wiki Game randomly generates problems, while all problems in this one are created by players, rated by other players in a HN/Reddit manner.
Oh absolutely. I was just attempting a bad sarcastic criticism of the contracts for ministers’ friends.
There's no right to life in the constitution, either. If there was, the U.S. would not be able to execute criminals.
What do you mean? Companies have been fined multi-billion dollar amounts in the past. Withdrawing from the US market is simply not an option for many companies. I strongly suspect it wouldn’t be a realistic option for Facebook.

That said, I think the parent comment that suggests “20-50B” fines is dramatically overestimating what it would take to promote more depositor behaviour here. Even much smaller fines with the threat of larger ones would likely be sufficient.
Remember that job offers get pulled all the time, and with that in mind I'd go ahead and accept the current offer, but let's say another offer comes through and it's a $50,000 pay increase.

Feel no shame about reneging on the first offer. This is a dog eat dog business, and the biggest mistake I probably have made in my career so far was not reneging for a better offer. I ended up miserable at a horrible company. Luckily I did reach roughly the same salary level within about 2 years, but that's 2 years of making $40,000 less than I could have.

Also, exploding offers are very rude in my opinion. No one should be pressured into accepting a job before they've been able to evaluate all their options
How on earth do you pronounce it then?
Source? I haven't seen anything persuasive. And I'm not sure how this could be "easily testable" if they are being sneaky about it (using undocumented APIs in obfuscated ways, etc).

BTW, I didn't claim that they do this, only that I and others suspect they do.

Personally I've seen cases were a topic was discussed aloud which was not searched/browsed by either party and received ads very shortly thereafter. Extremely specific stuff, like you randomly talk about life insurance and then get a life insurance ad.
