It's interesting you say that because I've had the exact opposite experiences.

I drive from Mercer Island to Spokane every weekend, and I commute from Puyallup to Mercer Island every day for work.

Going to work I'll see anywhere from two to five WSP, but usually traffic isn't moving fast enough for them to ticket. (Although, most mornings they have one or two people pulled over in the bend just in I-5, just a couple minutes north of the Tacoma Dome.)

Driving across the state I've only been pulled over once (near Ritzville). I won't say how fast I was going, but it was fast enough that right when I saw the headlights on her patrol car I immediately pulled over and waited for her to give me a ticket. (Which she did, and she knocked it down to something a bit more reasonable, money wise.)

Now when I drive across the state I just throw my cruise control on at ~83 MPH (the extra three because it helps me get ahead of those cars whose speed "drifts" from 75-85 and back again, which is very annoying). Usually I'll drive past two or three officers who just sit there and watch me fly by at thirteen over.

IMHO the worst are the county sheriffs near the Chelan area. Those guys will ticket you for 51 in a 50.

Unrelated: are you from Poulsbo?
Pieter, in the article you wrote "Think of the Children" and wanted readers to write stories, which is a really nice idea.. How about we think of the children and donate some money? Is it possible to share a donation address/endpoint ?
My screen respects the current working directory for new sessions.

My history is configured to write at every prompt redraw and to don't miss commands.

With vanilla history and prompt command settings, history will be separated.

But as this is a common problem, and not only with screen, also with multiple xterms and IDE's shells, and... also is a problem that history may miss lines by default...

And as it's a common problem, there are settings to fix that, configure the history merge strategy to your taste and do not miss history lines, because you did close a xterm, or you did open a new screen sessions.

Curiously, those settings are even documented upstream.

Session variables? I expect the ones that could be loaded by login executing bash -l...

If I did export something after that, then maybe I simply need to export it again in a new session, but really in 20 years never was in this situation I think... (do not wait to a command, continue with other commands, and need a environment variable not initialized by default between both sessions....). If I was in that situation... was so easy to fix that I don't even remember.

Which one to close? the one I prefer randomly, probably by focus, or probably the highest screen id. As history is merged, I can close any or even both.
Cloud profits are not much ( for AWS around $687M per quarter [1]) compared to ad ( around $7B per quarter [2]). Google has many businesses that has the potential to generate a lot of money like

a) licensing technology to car manufacturers for self-driving cars

b) Manufacturing and selling hardware ( like Chromebooks, OnHub, Chromecasts etc )

c) Google Apps, GCE, Google Drive etc

d) Google checkout/wallet payment processing

e) Online publishing with Google Play, Music, Youtube etc.

If you look through Google's list of products[3], I am sure you will be able to find many more potential high profit products. But they are terrible at turning them into viable businesses.

Thanks for the info, folks. I was unaware of the lawsuit. Curious.
> Tice and colleagues reported that students didn’t procrastinate before an intelligence test when primed to believe their mood was fixed. In contrast, when they thought their mood could change (and particularly when they were in a bad mood), they delayed practice until about the final minute. The findings suggested that self-control only succumbs to temptation when present emotions can be improved as a result.

That's very interesting observation. That explains why procrastinators eventually get to things when they hit the rock bottom of tiredness and self loathing.
As a developer it is worth it as long as you have separate teams responsible for development and production. Segmentation means that a prod server can't accidentally be configured to access a dev resource (db instance, etc). If you have development hand off installation packages and instructions it also means that dev never has to touch prod servers (except read access to logs, etc).
It also eliminates the temptation to "temporarily" use a dev machine/instance as part of prod to solve a problem (and then leaving it that way for years).

I've never known anyone who knew their death was imminent, and it pains me to see cancer strike another beloved member of the tech community, but I am fascinated by how Pieter is handling his situation. Delegating his tasks away, being frank about his condition and its progress, and now this protocol article. Even though his life is being cut way short, it almost seems as if he has extra time to get his ducks in a row and share wisdom. Many others die suddenly or after losing mental faculties and don't quite have the same opportunity.
This also has a paywall. Is there a non-paywalled version of this story, or will this story remain irrelevant to my life forever?

(If it were relevant to myself and others, someone would create a non-paywalled version of the story, maybe so simply as just retyping here what they've read elsewhere. Humans see censorship, paywalls, etc as damage and route around them, as long as positive value is generated.)
I've seen Pieter speak both in person and on video and it's hard not be impressed by his conviction and passion. Clearly a very clever guy with a lot of interesting ideas. Quite a polarizing character by all reports, but one that has made a significant contribution to the open source community nonetheless.

Godspeed Pieter.

WTF did I just watch?
Death is a horrible fact for a consciousness, however "being angry or sad at facts is a waste of time".
I'm on the Sony Z3. Apparently some varities of the Z3 in some countries on some networks are getting marshmallow at the moment. But not mine, yet at least. It's not just Samsung who take ages updating, or who ignore the deal they're supposed to have with Google to provide major updates released within 18 months of the release of a device.
It is not every day we see much written about death on upvote lists like Reddit or HN. So it means a ton to see the perspective of a smart hacker who is indeed met with the undeniable future of his own time. I'm only 26 and I have been thinking about life and death a lot lately. Not because I would commit suicide -- but rather because the very stupifying fact of "I'm alive!" evades most of media and content we consume.

But it has huge implications for us in the very soon battle for understanding if turing-complete high-level-abstracting machines would experience "consciousness" like we do. In terms of medical care, rights, and other aspects for thinking entities.

And Pieter, if you are reading this, I wish you well in whatever lies ahead for your mind, and for your actions which will surely echo through the sands of time for people. Because like you said, even if life is indeed finite -- that we take a sensible approach, our legacy should be able to give us comfort that our actions do get magnified by time -- so do what you love, and it will speak through future generations.
Well, that's some interesting Terms of Service!

Nice to see they'll stand behind their service. Filled with confidence right now.

> 11.) You must be at least 18 years old to use Zora and you must be a citizen of United States, Canada or European Union.

If I rent out a place through this website, are prospective tenants required to "use Zora" in order to apply? Does that mean that I am now discriminating against potential tenants based on citizenship? Which happens to be prohibited in various jurisdictions, for example NYC?
"Of course it makes sense to not always destroy a company if you can avoid it." So that's the basic implied threat - destruction?

Because it uses static analysis techniques, that's all. You type variables and consider all execution paths at once, instead of executing code and checking the types of values.

In particular, the code that was generated won't get executed if it can be proved beforehand that there is a type error.

I agree that in effect you won't get an error message until execution, but that does not mean that this is dynamic typing. Execution time and compile time are generally interleaved with metaprogramming so it can make sense to consider static-analysis for code at runtime.

What I found strange is the fact that it happens "Just-In-Time", which for me means at the last possible moment. This is counter-intuitive with what static typing aims to do. I would prefer "ASAP static-typing" (the code could be analyzed long before it is run).

That's why I still find the COMPILE approach of Lisp better, since we have precise control over when analysis is done.

My father died in extreme pain. For three days he was in hell. His last words he spoke to me, "when will it end?". I didn't have an answer. My father's death kinda ruined my life. Even though we had our differences; every day since that day in January, 11 years ago, I think about how he suffered, and part of me died with him.

The orange isn't the problem. It's the contrast on the text that's the problem. I tried to play with the settings but the contrast remains bad no matter what. The dark theme doesn't help. Essentially the text colour is much too close to the background colour making it incredibly difficult to read for anyone with a bad monitor or with bad eyesight.
I developed very bad habits as a child. I could screw off, read SF in class, barely study, and still be the best in science. But then I went to university with others like me, and it was a rude awakening ;)
Fads and scarcity! StatTrak versions of skins drop less than those without. Then patterns that people like. I haven't checked CSGO skin sites for awhile but normally multi-colored "fade" skins will all-blue patterns were very popular about a a year ago. How beat up the skin is determined by a number between 0.00 (best) and 1 (worst), so skins with a very low or very high "float" are apparently more desirable.

The first example is clearly a case of trying to insert a player into a market where they don't belong. Market failure of a sort. Square peg in a round hole and all that.

The second is - the difference in value of gasoline - as compared to the value of dollars - to different market players - over this time period. The variance is reflective of the changes in the difference in value between the 2 commodities to different people, over the time period.
You may actually need to go 100 MPH in traffic. Speed limits are 85 in places, and 15 over that may be required to maneuver.

Speed limits on interstate class roads seem pretty dangerous to me - you can watch people thinking "but I'll get a ticket" and backing off at bad times. Of course, I guess of there were no signs with numbers on them they'd drive 115 and kill themselves.

Profiling Node.js applications
Elasticsearch can't do very complex queries like postgresql can (probably needs something like spark?).

Elasticsearch can't grow tables, you need to create a new one index with more shards and transfer data.

BigQuery works only in column-store while citus works in column-store + row-store (column-stores don't support update/delete). You can mix row/column-store tables and query/join them together.

It is interesting because that it's latest postgres, example you can have Hyperloglog column-types, which ~none else offers.

It is available as open-source wich bigquery isn't (elastic is though).
I wanted to express my compassion, then I figured out that's not what you need. But then, we never shared any good moments to speak about, right ?

Thank you for taking the time to express this.

Sought-after skins for the most-used rifles are often more expensive than knives. AWP Dragon Lore (doesn't drop from cases) and AK-47 Fire Serpent (only dropped from the very first case) are the most expensive skins AFAIK.
I assume Norways laws work similar to Swedens, meaning there can be no guarantees of non-extradiction (because preempting a legal decision usinga a political one is illegal, and the extradiction would be handled only when it is requested - which can only be done once he is actually in norway).

So the same thing might happen to Snowden that happened to Assange - no guarantees up front.

The best they can do in that case is make broader statements that e.g. "we do not extradite anyone who faces political charges and/or risks the death penalty". It's safe to say Snowden fits into both categories.
The effect of campaign contributions is unmeasurable at this writing. If we want to allow public service by government lawyers to be a farm system for big finance houses, then we can continue to underpay them.

I can't decide if "JSON-superset" is technically accurate or not.

JSON's string literals come from JavaScript, and JavaScript only sortof has a Unicode string type. So the \u escape in both languages encodes a UTF-16 code unit, not a code point. That means in JSON, the single code point U+1f4a9 "Pile of Poo" is encoded thusly:

"\ud83d\udca9"

JSON specifically says this, too,

Any character may be escaped. If the character is in the Basic
Multilingual Plane (U+0000 through U+FFFF), then it may be
represented as a six-character sequence: a reverse solidus, followed
by the lowercase letter u, followed by four hexadecimal digits that
encode the character's code point. The hexadecimal letters A though
F can be upper or lowercase. So, for example, a string containing
only a single reverse solidus character may be represented as
"\u005C".

[… snip …]

To escape an extended character that is not in the Basic Multilingual
Plane, the character is represented as a twelve-character sequence,
encoding the UTF-16 surrogate pair. So, for example, a string
containing only the G clef character (U+1D11E) may be represented as
"\uD834\uDD1E".

Now, Ion's spec says only:

U+HHHH	\uHHHH	4-digit hexadecimal Unicode code point

But if we take it to mean code point, then if the value is a surrogate… what should happen?

Looking at the code, it looks like the above JSON will parse:

1. Main parsing of \u here:
https://github.com/amznlabs/ion-java/blob/1ca3cbe249848517fc6d91394bb493383d69eb61/src/software/amazon/ion/impl/IonReaderTextRawTokensX.java#L2429-L2434

2. which is called from here, and just appended to a StringBuilder:
https://github.com/amznlabs/ion-java/blob/1ca3cbe249848517fc6d91394bb493383d69eb61/src/software/amazon/ion/impl/IonReaderTextRawTokensX.java#L1975

My Java isn't that great though, so I'm speculating. But I'm not sure what should happen.

This is just one of those things that the first time I saw it in JSON/JS… a part of my brain melted. This is all a technicality, of course, and most JSON values should work just fine.
This is easily one of the most courageous articles I have read. I can only hope to have the same courage when dying. Thanks for inspiring me, Pieter.
Google I/O tickets are difficult to get - you apply, and they choose who can purchase a ticket by lottery.

One of the reasons for this is that they used to hand out swag worth more than the ticket price (latest Nexus phones, etc).

This makes sense for Google - increasing developer mindshare and experience on their platforms is worth more than the device cost. But this also had the effect of "everyone" applying for Google I/O to get the swag, even if you are not too excited about attending the talks.
