But the people who are supposed to define what's good for the reader are the editors. They show the system what they think is good by either reverting edits or not, so by saying "this edit is likely to be reverted", the AI is saying "based on input from all editors, this edit may not be good for the users".

Effectively, those are the same thing, unless you want to create a hard definition of "good for the users". But that's going around the editors, and taking their opinion of "good" out of the equation, which IMO is a very bad idea.
I do have experience with ETL tools. The dirty secret of ETL tools is that they are slow in the best case. In the worst case extremely, head meltingly, how-could-it-possibly-take-that-long slow. Before MPP and columnar DBs (Vertica, Greenplum, etc.) were widely available ETL tools were a good trade off. You were offloading work that (in many cases) literally could not be completed on either the source DB or the target data warehouse.

When we (my company at the time) got Netezza in 2004 we immediately realized that we needed to move onto ELT. I.e. the ETL tool (SQL Server DTS at the time) became just a scheduler running plain SQL against Netezza. It was massively faster to do it that way and we could put the ETL server budget into Netezza.

ETL vendors, e.g., Informatica, now have "pushdown" options where that you design your workflow in their tool but it executes as SQL inside your database. However, when you use a tool like this you're very constrained in the types of processing you can do, for example Informatica doesn't have the ability to parse timezones (yes, really).

We evaluated basically everything that claimed to support Redshift and couldn't find anything that was viable for what we need. Some tools were close though so maybe someone can close the gap.
"Go vs. Rust" is not a valuable comparison because Go and Rust have wildly divergent goals and intended use cases. By the same token you could argue that Rust is a worse-is-better Haskell.
I am asking you to provide evidence that "#BLM", if it can even really be considered a cohesive movement with a defined purpose, supports or performs home invasions. And, evidence that the NAACP openly supports or harbors criminals would be welcome, too.

I'll be waiting, but not holding my breath. At a minimum, your statement lacks nuance. At worst, and more likely, it is factually incorrect and smears groups with legitimate goals.
They're releasing the source code to libdispatch? I thought that was one of Apple's trade secrets, and more applicable than just Swift apps since it's a C lib?
Sadly it doesn't work for me :) It's quite common for men to put on weight when their wife is pregnant (mine constantly snacking, sending me out to buy maltesers, ben and jerrys etc..).
"Boutin’s team looked inside the hands of 40 people, ranging from those who never cracked their knuckles to those who had done it 20 times a day for 40 years. When hand injury experts examined them before and after cracking, they found no difference between the two groups, suggesting that knuckle cracking does not put your joints in any immediate danger."
The Tiobe index for November showed that Objective-C was still ahead (but only just) of Swift:

https://twitter.com/alblue/status/672387783483392000

With today's open-source announcement, it's practically a given that December's Tiobe index will show Swift rocketing up the table even further.

> Seriously. does anyone reading this post think the government is a better steward of their income than they are? If you think so, then donate 100% of your income to the government and live on public assistance. That option is provided on the tax return you sign here in the USA.

I suspect there might be a strawman in here somewhere. Yes, it is OK to do everything you can to try to limit the money you have to pay in taxes. However, so much wealth concentrated among so few people is not very desirable. (I understand that the American public disagrees with me on this.)

I think progressive income taxes and estate taxes are very important. I don't think I am arguing for anything outrageous. I guess a nice sound bite/tl;dr would be to say "I want to cap the income tax at half of total income, regardless of how high the income is". I just wish that people with money understood that their efforts to lower taxes for themselves to absurdly low rates is detrimental to stability. I wish they thought beyond this quarter's tax bill.
A lot of folks to thank at Apple right now, can't wait until all of this propagates so we can take a look at what's new in Swift 3. Two thoughts:

- VERY happy to see the open sourcing of much of the Foundation libraries (which includes strings, dates, networking primitives, concurrency/task queues, I/O, etc). It'll provide a very strong start and make working with Swift immediately productive.

- Holy crap, there's a package manager. This has been sorely needed since about day one of Swift development, glad to see that it's been a priority as part of the effort to open source!
>If you're managing 5+ projects at once, your inbox must be a train-wreck of garbage from these mailing lists.

This is a total non-issue. Mailing lists support daily digests if you want that, and email clients support folders and filters if you want that instead. Nobody managing 5+ mailing list-based projects at once is dumping all of that into an unsorted inbox.
I don't think I've seen a single positive statement about Zuckerberg's foundation.

It would have been 100% fully within his right to simply keep it all, or blow his fortune on snorting Fabergé eggs, or buying classic cars and crashing them.

Instead, he's giving almost all of it away. He's choosing to retain control over how it's given away? Well so what! It's still way better than keeping it all.

I am no fan of Facebook, but man, the amount of vitriol coming out about this move just astounds me. Giving away 99% of your wealth is apparently not commendable unless you do it just right. Meanwhile, how much are the commenters themselves giving away? Oh, somewhat less than 99%? Yeah.
Not for the source code to any project.
Would you argue that taking advantage of your 401k deduction is unfair to everyone else? How about the mortgage interest tax deduction? Deduction for child care?

I'm just curious where you draw the line.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes this year (at 34). It was not a surprise really, I knew I was fat and too sedentary, but I didn't expect to get this sick so young.

It's weird, because I was so apathetic about being healthy and stuff, but the moment I got diagnosed something clicked inside my head and I thought "I don't want to die".

So I changed my habits drastically and started exercising and eating healthier. I've lost around 35 pounds and my glucose levels from 300+ to ~100. Most of the symptoms are gone and I feel great. I still take meds, but I'm confident that if I keep this pace of life it will be reverted or, at least, I'll got to live longer.

This article provides no insights, but it's not wrong either. Shortly after Marissa took over, she became obsessed over minutia like tweaking the Yahoo! logo font[1] and making the homepage “fresh and dynamic”[2]. Oh brother.

Still, she she deserves credit for making Flickr much better, and for shrewd acquisitions like Tumblr.

She made Yahoo! better. No failure in that.

Another abstraction layer on top of another abstraction layer. Some day i hope some one will clean up this mess. But right now, most of those XonXen/HYpervisor or OSv / Unikeneral aren't that promising.
Swift is a very nice language.
And it's pretty easy to learn too - it took me about 2 weeks to get the basics of it and in 1 month I was producing code at the same speed as with Objective-C.

After a couple of months of Swift-ing, I now started a project in C++ and while it's nice to be back home (in the C++ world), I immediately feel like I'm on my own - C++ doesn't make any attempt to protect me from myself (although it feels like I have more power to do what I want).

The Swift compiler, on the other hand, will obsessively stop me from fitting a square into a circle and will only allow me to do that if I declare loud and clear that "I know what I'm doing!".
My understanding is that you are correct. I'm assuming he setup the LLC in some way that he doesn't have direct control over the money. Or at least it appears that way.

Agreed. This article had a distasteful smugness to it. The author was more keen on bravado-ing his own (self-appointed) business acumen than exploring why Mayer's strategies did not work. Come to think of it, the author was really calling out Mayer for not having the guts to go all in (personality attack) vs. examining how/why her strategies did or did not work.
I didn't think there was really anyone who actually thinks that the metric system is more complicated than the imperial one.
Maybe you can consider getting someone at Let's Encrypt review diafygi's acme-tiny code and, if approved, propose it as an alternative on the Let's Encrypt site. This will be very useful for users who get turned off by the root requirement or the number of dependencies.
I've never considered the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics under the light of persistent data structures.. very interesting!
One of the most exhilarating things you can do is travel alone. Travel wide, and far - another country - entirely alone. Stay in hostels and force yourself to make friends. Be who you want to be. Do what you want to do, when you want to do it. You learn a lot about yourself when traveling solo.
This worldview is overly simplistic. There is no indication that languages ever "win out in the end" and there is no reason to suspect that the industry is not large enough to support healthy ecosystems for both Go and Rust, who, again, are not competitors.
Thank you! People are blowing this whole LLC thing out of control. It really isn't a big deal deal at all. He probably went against the word of his tax advisors to use an LLC as opposed to a typical foundation. Just applaud the man for his efforts and stop turning this into a tax play -- it isn't. Not a very good one at least.

libdispatch has been open source since 2009

The poor spend a considerably larger portion of their income on food, heating, and transportation which will be the 3 areas that suffer the most by a generic carbon tax.
The food and agricultural industries represent most of our carbon emission as it is which will increase food prices.

The poor would more likely to live in housing with inefficient heating burning either fossil fuel or using electric heating, and the poor are more likely to have to commute longer distances and are more likely to be dependent on both older vehicles and vehicles such as trucks and van which produce more carbon than newer efficient cars.

This discrepancy will affect both the poor people in the developed world and developing nation that cannot afford the latest and greatest in new technologies, you won't be driving a Prius in central Africa you'll be driving a jeep from the 1980's.

A flat carbon tax is very similar to VAT which is well known to affect lower income families considerably more than higher income ones which is why countries which use a VAT system rather than sales tax often exempt certain products such as food from it or tax it at a lower rate.
When you spend most of your money on consumables or products which will be used to the point of not being able to be resold you are effectively bearing a more burden than those who spend a much smaller portion of their income on consumables and buy products which hold their value well as VAT is designed to capture the value of any potential future resells unlike a direct sales tax which only taxes a single point of sale.

And if we make the carbon tax either deferential or tradeable (e.g. the old carbon caps) it will only result in developing nations being exploited further, if you can buy a nations carbon cap cheaply you'll do so, if the carbon tax in that nation is only pennies on the dollar compared to yours then you'll move your factories there and pollute at will because that would be the economical way to do business.

There isn't a simple solution and while carbon tax is the easiest there's a good reason why allot of economists fear it even more than they fear global warming.

I can put 99% of my wealth in a LLC and claim I'm giving it away. that doesn't make it true.

If he was being honest and genuine, it would be in a charitable trust or a non-profit foundation. Unless by "give away" he means "invest in companies and/or political lobbying". [ Hint: Charitable Trusts would function like a LLC in many respects with the guarantee at the end that the money would flow to a charitable cause in the end. ]

I think people just hate all the hoops you have to jump through to satisfy arbitrary constraints the language places upon you to conform to some pedantic definition of object orientation that only works well in textbook examples.

Not saying Java isn't a good choice for some things. Also, if functional programming languages were more popular, they would probably be subjected to the same ridicule for the same reasons.
> I saw the writing on the wall when she cancelled the work from home policy

Disclaimer: I was at Yahoo when she came and implemented this policy.

It irritates me to see uninformed people making such blanket comments. You have no idea what the policy was; I do. Let me explain it, in the hope that you (and others with this mindset) may learn something about it, and maybe even change their views.

There was a group of Yahoos ( < 200 ) who had a permanent work-from-home exemption (if you can call it that; there was never much of an enforced policy earlier). They never came in to an office (except for the occasional IT issue and package pickup). There were a couple of incidents where these remote workers were found to be moonlighting. So a study was done to see how many of these remote workers actually VPNed in. After a month or two, it turned out, a good number of them were actually working part-time. So a blanket ban was issued, with the caveat that if you could make a compelling case, you would still be allowed to WFH. In fact, a colleague of mine continued to work from home after this policy change. A number of strong people continued to WFH; a few were let go; and the rest had to hoof it to office.

Now, the mistake Marissa made wasn't with this policy; but it was in how she didn't go the next step: holding the managers of the shirkers responsible.

Which brings me to my thinking about why it's so hard to turn around Yahoo: the middle management. (Please do me a favor and read PG's excellent post http://www.paulgraham.com/yahoo.html after you're done reading this). Yahoo is filled with managers whose sole contribution is survival. There is no accountability for screwing up. Fucking up products badly has never gotten anyone fired.

Did you know Yahoo went through 3 different iterations of an attempt at a "social network"? Each and every time, sane minds pointed out that the concept was bad, the UX was bad, etc.; and yet the managers prevailed and it went down in flames, as predicted.

The joke in Yahoo used to be: throw everything into version 1.0, because you never know if there will be a version 1.1.

Marissa is failing not because she's a bad CEO (having seen Yahoo CEOs like Terry Semel, I can assure you she's the best they've had in the last 10 years); it's because she has no supporting cast. She trusts people too much. One manager once said to me (about her): meh, she'll be gone in a couple of years; I'll still be around. He had been there since 2001, and had no intention of moving anywhere. Collected fat paychecks by taking credit for others' work. And he was just one of many, many in there. Over the years I encountered so many people like him, where you had no idea what actually they contributed to the company.

Tax planning is fine.

Tax evasion is illegal.

The grey area of tax avoidance - misusing tax laws in ways that were not intended - is not illegal, but not fine. A variety of bizarre corporate structures and dodges are used and the only purpose they serve is to shuffle tax away from government. There's no reason Starbucks has its own coffee bean roasting company that sells its beans at huge price to the Starbucks coffee shops. The only reason it's been structured like that is to funnel tax away from governments where the shops are to the tax haven where the coffee roasting company is.

When a London business, selling products in London, to people in London, buys Google ads from the Google London office, paying for those ads from their London bank account to Google's London bank account in GBP the only reason someone in Ireland rubber stamps the paperwork is so Google can -quite legally- avoid tax.

These are scumbag moves and they create a lot of hostility.

GNUstep developers stated several times that they'll implement bindings for Swift if it's released as open source. Though from my personal (and very limited) experience I may suggest that you won't use it for cross platform development. It's works on Linux reasonable well, but support for Windows is limited or at least it's was few years ago.
A richer type system is not in opposition to good tooling, quite the opposite. Rust's strong type system enables fantastic static analysis, which, for example, obviates the need for anything like Go's data race detector.

Some people just don't want to believe that Zuckerberg is doing something good for the planet -- it means they can't justify their hatred for him as easily anymore.
He mentions YouTube compression at 3:28.
I can't say for sure, but one of my guesses would be stability. By that I mean that the noise is acceptable for a single static image, because it doesn't change - but distracting in an animation if the dithering completely changes from frame to frame.

I might be a non-issue - either not noticeable or not distracting - and the real reason is that people just don't see banding as a problem or that the rendering overhead per-frame is too much.
No he wrote it on Clojure and my point is Racket (Close cousin) would have been a better choice since Racket is made for making languages like these.

Would having movies and TV shows make Youtube Red appeal to you, at $9.99/mo? It's cheaper than Netflix.. But I guess that will depend on the shows they get the rights for.
Optimize out the check, so it will be O(1) in some cases. ;)
tl;dr "we don't think they can uniquely identify public websites that well though they can obviously identify someone is using hidden services, so we should probably make it more difficult to identify hidden services"
The reasons for this are quite simple. When the richest 1% make a very grand gesture like this, there will always be an element of analysis about how they plan to do it, for better or worse.

When it's somebody in the very top 1% who up until now has taken large measures to completely avoid and drastically minimise paying tax in numerous countries (which can have substantial benefits for the populace of said countries) at the levels they should be, questions will always be asked.

I also completely agree, he's fully within his rights to blow the lot - this also has a benefit for society anyway (more people working to build him yachts, supercars, mix him martini's, etc., therefore more collected in tax from said blowing of cash).

I don't have a view at the moment on this either way - the proof will be in the pudding as they say and I will reserve judgement till then. I will, however, say he's not actually given anything away - certainly not yet anyway.
