Why: DMCA takedown request is a very specific process and it requests immediate removal of content. Poster can then dispute it to get it restored. (http://brainz.org/dmca-takedown-101/) As far as I understand your post, that's not what you submitted since modifying the content / replacing the author is not one of the DMCA outcomes.

Possible: "Asking SE to reown/remove plagiarised content"

Why reowning is a bad idea? Because you didn't create that post and the post has effects inside of SE system (reputation, comment addressing, etc.). Nothing of course stops you from requesting a takedown and posting the same content again from your own account. Request to reown some already posted content seems a bit dodgy to me.

I don't think it has much to do with chemical treatment or not. A lot of U.S. cities also have hard water; that depends mostly on the source, with groundwater sources having more minerals than reservoir or lake sources. The main differences in U.S. treatment are that it fluoridates and chlorinates the water, it doesn't normally do demineralization. Also the fluoridation isn't even really a difference in this case: Copenhagen's water supply naturally has high levels of fluoride, similar to the levels that the U.S. adds.

But I agree Copenhagen's water is fine for drinking. I even like the taste. What it's a problem for is fixtures and appliances, which chalk up extremely fast, even compared to other areas I've lived with hard water. Showers, faucets, etc. all needs to be "de-kalked" at least every week, ideally every few days. Even simply leaving a glass of water out on the counter for one day will start to produce chalk lines that take effort to remove. Keeping an espresso machine operational is also a challenge, requiring pretty religious usage of the cleaning cycle with a de-chalking tablet.

Marshmallow is really useful. +1. If you like Marshmallow, you might also like Pilo (https://github.com/eventbrite/pilo), which solves similar problems. Marshmallow excels at ORM object serialization. Pilo is really good at parsing JSON into Python objects, and has several features to support this, such as polymorphic downcasting and programmable parsing via hooks. Marshmallow is also very good at parsing/validating Python dictionaries, but in my experience, Marshmallow's API is more focused on serializing objects into dictionaries so that you can call json.dumps on the output dictionary.
Maybe object versioning can get added as this gains more and more usage... That will really make this a library that IMHO is production worthy; large applications can't be easily upgraded in one-go and having a library that helps with translating across versions would be super.

Not when effects are clearly marked. There is zero difference in that respect between continuations (i.e. imperative) and monads. It's only syntax and whatever your type system is.

Sure, but a monad won't help you ensure their proper ordering.

If you're used to bottled water, tap water is different in taste, of course.

But we don't drink bottled water in Scandinavia because our tap water is of great quality, unlike a lot of other places.

The tap water in Copenhagen varies a lot. Depending on the plant your hooked up too. It can be very chalky and it can be very smooth. Strangly enough this is not throughout the rest of the country. Copenhagen water is probably the worst compared to the rest of the country.

At this last few hours before Christmas, I also want to share with you about a gift that stole my heart a few months ago; something that people really really want that we may take for granted: a place to stay and learn.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to get to know my story. I know all of you are quite smart and very helpful to others. I would appreciate your ideas on how I can maximize my efforts to reach a large audience in a relatively short time to help these kids. I am not a techie or a marketer so I really appreciate any ideas/thoughts from this smart and tech savvy audience; that is why I came here in my desperate hour of need. Thank you for allowing me to share this story.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Since you asked : I've never billed an hour for my programming, so technically zero. I did spend dozens of hours, as I was starting from scratch skills-wise and using this as project to try and build some data science chops. I learned how to use pandas, xgboost, (I also wrote my own NBA projection app in the process) and a lot about optimizing performance in python. So well worth it. Tbh, I'm glad you asked because I had assumed that this was something a more experienced programmer would have been able to do before breakfast. Don't worry, though, my accountant will see to it that a minimum of that $29 is taxed.

A brief introduction to REST
Disclosure: I work at GM; these are my opinions only; I don't work on SDCs, just very interested in them.

I don't think it's the tech (as such) that matters so much. I think the attitude, approach, and discussion matter much more.

For instance: Google has said, for now, we can't have drivers in the loop and call it a self-driving car (see Tesla etc videos[1]). That makes a lot of sense, but its also very limiting.

Airbus et al have not figured this one out (Air France 447[2]) - Perhaps automotive scale will provide more effective tools for managing attention and skill.

There are so many difficult non-technical discussions to overcome in this market - liability, user tracking (location history and habits), information leakage, failure modes (should I honk and flash lights if my human doesn't take control), aggressiveness settings (if the car is not going fast enough, the user will take control back), and many more, I'm sure.

Technical issues are going to be easy compared to the human issues. I think Google is addressing this by having an explicitly limited approach for now.

This seems kinda half-assed.

If he's setting up dnsmasq to serve as a caching local DNS, why not configure it to serve as DHCP server as well (after disabling DHCP on the router) and avoid the manual setting of the DNS server on clients?

Where did you even get this idea from? :)
Misleading.. The record he broke is "for his age group", which isn't even specified in the article.
I've been exploring the economics of this sort of things for a while.

What to you is reasonable? Specs + price + level of security?
You can put a hosts file on your router. That way it is automatic to ALL devices, no need for DNS tinkering.
> I just think they're thinking about this the wrong way. They seem to be thinking why should we do all this work for a platform we don't care about and carry the porting effort and the maintenance burden on our shoulders.

What's wrong with that?
A hosts file on a router would be much faster than anything else. Nullrouting packets before they even enter your LAN is possible the best thing you can do.

I am a somewhat serious runner and I started to not only compare myself to the World Records as in I can do 70% of the WR for 400m but also to the age groups. It is fascinating that I cannot beat any under 70 record at all although I am very fit compared to the general population. So while old age is definitely a decline the achievable levels are still quite impressive. World records for 60 year old men are so good they might as well be the real WR for me
Sweden has decent water even at the lower rates. For example, Salmon fishing is still popular in central Stockholm (salmon is really picky about water quality), and swimming is definitely possible in the central city there too.

What the water costs only limits the water use, it doesn't change how much can be spent on water treatment and other projects, there is also tax money.

Sweden and Denmark have very high taxes, it helps.

Rust is a compiled language, so the JS files don't directly load a .rs file but instead they load a native Node extension, i.e. a .node file, which is generated by compiling and linking the Rust sources. (The node-cli tooling automates the whole build process.)

The line you cited is automatically locating the .node file, loading it, and returning the module object associated with it.

On IRC a couple people have been questioning this part of the API, suggesting that just using the standard npm module `bindings` might be better. It's a reasonable idea and I'll probably open a discussion in a GitHub issue.
Appologies if I am unclear.

> why are you trying to create FUD about how Alpine Linux is unmaintainable, unsustainable, and insecure?

I never tried to make that claim.

What I am trying to say is that if YOU built YOUR software against Alpine, IT will be hard to maintain/sustain/insecure. Because your software will probably have dependencies. Dependencies not found in Alpine. And now you have to maintain and test those dependencies. You'll have to keep informed on all the security advisories of those dependencies. All the changelogs. And by then, you've started to reinvent wheels that the fine folks of Debian, Ubuntu, Centos have invented already.

That is a resource drain on companies that is inefficient and cumbersome with little to no added value.

> While you're at it, please show me the Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS distribution that doesn't have desktop bus installed.

A container is not the same beast as a distribution. It does not have the same requirements. It is just a tarball. And you can throw anything into it, or out of it.

I'm just saying to use debootstrap to throw stuff in that tarball so you have the benefits of an enterprise-level, proven distribution, instead of using this something that has not yet proven itself. So if you ever need to take your software OUT of the container and run it on an AWS instance, or on your own hardware, you'll have no problem with it.

In short: I see no added value for Alpine. It does not address my operational concerns, and raises a bucketload of new ones when I compare it to Debian, Ubuntu or Centos.
More good points why systemd is harmful: http://suckless.org/sucks/systemd
I joined a startup very early (#12) 2.5 yrs ago that had previously successful and well-known founders. I took below market pay but ended up working out (now valued around $500m) and believe they will succeed long-term.

I've since left but of course early employee equity was one of my top considerations.

To join an early stage startup that you do not think will succeed and become "big" should rarely be worth your time.

Organized crime all comes down to grey zones.

Areas where regular business forced not to go: prostitution, drugs, arms trade, shark loans.

There are perhaps places where all the economy is one large grey zone, but other than that, regular business (which does indeed come down to greed) out-competes organized crime.

Here's the thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mozilla.dev.ident...

Basically, Persona by design needs to transmit a keypair and a signed certificate between the identity provider and the relying party. Without in-browser integration, the way this was done was using localStorage on the login.persona.org domain, making Mozilla a trusted third party. This was deemed okay as a temporary measure until in-browser support for BrowserID became commonplace, replacing the trusted third party with the user-agent.

Reading the thread again, my memory was a little off: possible solutions were proposed, but the conversation fell off before consensus could be reached, and no one had the time to drive any attempt to implement the change.
WebRTC Data Channels Implementation in Pure JavaScript
This focuses pretty well (?) on traditional consumer (e.g., social media): worth augmenting with other strong areas like the data industry, enterprise, and physical (e.g., Flexport). For early stage, greenfield areas are important like VR / cloud streaming (e.g., OTOY is amazing!). Put differently, I've guided many folks towards recent startups.. and generally not to ones on this list.

For job seekers, may be worth resorting. Most of the startups there already dilute away most future employees, and I bet there'd be reordering if you think in that way. I've been wanting, for awhile, to be able to sort & slice offers on sites like AngelList by company phase ($ raised or valuation, revenue, growth, industry). Equity and salary offers change significantly along these. Coarsely, seed companies generally shouldn't be valued the same way as A and certainly not B ones.
Neoliberalism
I have some issues with this article. First off, the standardisation issues have nothing to do with the "benevolent dictator" system, if anything it's an issue with the lack of an equivalent mechanism outside of the kernel. Secondly it's IMHO naive to think that "waiting a few years more" would have solved the division within the Debian technical committee, considering how vocal systemd opponents still are. What I'd be more interested about is "here is what you get with all this technical debt", ie what makes core systems so complex.

> The United States is not a Democracy

This is very obviously false. It may have been established with not that intent, but today (especially after progressive movement) it's one of the most advanced democracies in the world. Of course there is still a long way to go.

For example, there is paper from Cato Institute that showed (on different U.S. states) more democracy leads to better management of state budget.

> people's rights being voted away

This is misrepresentation - people's right are not being voted away; what happens in these cases is that social progress is not as fast as some liberals would want. (In other words, there is a huge difference between regress and slow progress.) Democracies are conservative, as most normal people are (and this is arguably good engineering practice). And slavery was actually supported by the representation (you're actually contradicting yourself here a bit, if you want to blame democracy for slavery, then you shouldn't say that U.S. wasn't democracy).
