That's just internecine strife between the centrist and radical wings of the party. Contempt for those who don't embrace the same precepts they do is common to both.
Also the construction of physical objects obeys unchanging physical laws. The construction of software is the coalescence of arbitrary logic.

Real engineers decry the lack of discipline in software engineering, but I don't think it's possible to impose anything approaching the discipline of physical engineering without radically more constraints, but to do that would require subdividing software into a large number of much more focused domains, and even then, the divisions would be somewhat arbitrary.

So does this attempt to better utilize the multiple compute units which make up a single compute pipeline? For example Skylake technically has 4 FPU's per physical core 1 SIMD, 3 x87 FPU-esque units, 1 branch processors, and 3-4ish IPU's (branch processors have some IPU uOPs)?

Or is it just a compiler integrated green thread library?

> I find this anger against death weird.

Of course you do, because accepting death is a huge part of our culture, a part we developed to make coping easier. It's hard to think differently from how you have been taught to.

>Death is part of our lives and we should accept it without the drama

Who says that and for what purpose (who benefits from status quo) ?
Note that death isn't even a law of physics, it's just a consequence of our biological structure and our genetic makeup. Many organisms live much shorter lives than humans, but some live 3-10x longer than us (For example Arctica Islandica clamshell lives >400 years, Bowhead Whales and Koi fish live ~200 years, Pinus longaeva trees live up to 5000 years). These are scientific facts.

Then, there are genetic engineering experiments [1] that produce C. Elegans nematodes that live 5x longer lives than wild ones. There are less dramatic but positive results for mice.

Humans aren't special, it means that some future variants of these techniques could be applied to humans either to produce longer-living individuals or to increase lifespan of existing ones.

If you still think that someone's life is not worth extending you are simply being amoral. Please decide such important matters only for yourself and not for others. I'm sure there are more than enough humans that would prefer to extend their lives.

Anecdotal, but my cousin was stage 4 skin and throat cancer (2 separate origin cancers), tumor ridden, on the way out. His doctor somehow got him in on a clincial trial (immunotherapy) at the Dana Farber cancer institute in Boston, MA.

That point-blank saved his life. The cancer was gone within 4 months; he's been cancer free for 5 years. His younger brother was not so lucky, lung cancer (heavy smoker), he didn't last long after diagnosis.

Anyway, the OP isn't looking for miracles, he's preparing for his departure, in a beautiful and dignified manner -- totally respect the choice, but longshots are not the same odds they used to be wrt to cancer treatments, even stage 4.

The code name for Apple's Power Macintosh 7100 was "Carl Sagan", an in-joke that the mid-range PowerMac 7100 would make Apple "billions and billions". Sagan asked Apple to rename the project, so they chose "BHA", short for "Butt-Head Astronomer". Sagan sued Apple (twice) and lost. Apple eventually renamed the project "LAW", short for "Lawyers are Wimps".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Macintosh_7100#Codename_...

Also, the "Sosumi" alert sound introduced in MacOS 7 is short for "So sue me", referencing the Apple Corps v. Apple Computer lawsuit.

AFAIR, the case is that NTFS supports long file paths very well, and Windows has APIs to deal with long paths, but a lot of software (Windows Explorer inexplicably being one of them) uses old APIs that choke on paths over 260 chars.

`rimraf` solves the issue of deleting such files and it's one of the must-have tools when doing node dev on windows, like `grep` etc
While I agree that this is perhaps a symbolic gesture at best, one can’t claim that costs are being “increased for the poor” when this will only apply to new buildings which are certainly not being built by or rented to “the poor”
> The distinction is whose fault is that, the lazy Python3 core dev team or the lazy userbase?

I agree that Python core devs should have not made such breaking changes, And hindsight is 20/20, even for them. I also am a bit annoyed that they've been pretty stubborn about adding additional compatibility layers between the versions. (If six (maintained by a core dev) can help with compatibility, why can't the standard library have those shims too? :)

I also like Go's approach to unicode better than Python 3's approach.

"harassing" the core devs may have been helpful in back in 2008-2012, however, at this point it's a little late to start complaining. I doubt it will help at all.

> Python2's conservatism is starting to be seen as an asset

I totally agree. It's an unfortunate problem.

> is Python3 inevitable?

Yes. It's only a matter of time.

- Django is planning on removing Python 2 support from master in January.

- Nearly all popular libraries are compatible or have compatible forks.

- Large python projects, like OpenStack are putting in the work to be Python 3 compatible. http://blogs.rdoproject.org/7894/status-of-python-3-in-opens...

- Ubuntu and Fedora now ship without /usr/bin/python available by default. RHEL/CentOS 8 may very well do the same.

- Debian has plans of removing Python 2 completely from it's repository not long after PSF drops support.
This all comes down to cost. It is much cheaper to have "bloat" than it is to pay devs to fix it. And customers find it much cheaper to deal with "bloat" than to find smaller alternatives. Sure the average webpage is bigger than doom, but the CPU in my phone is approximately 100x (times multicore too?) than the 486 that ran Doom.

Sure, if man hours were free, we could trim it all down to (my rough guess) about 1/10th the size. But at $100 or even $10 an hour its just not worth it. Pay the GBs to your carrier, spend $50 more on a better phone.
This seems oddly customer-hostile, which is something I've grown to expect from tech companies but not Amazon in specific.

One can't help but wonder if the damage this does to the brand outweighs the strategic gains through Prime subscriptions. After all, selection and availability is a huge part of Amazon's secret sauce to success, more so than customer service, shipping speed, or any other concern.

If customers lose the ability to assume that they can get anything on Amazon, it's hugely damaging to the brand.

I have seen the following patterns implemented:

Pattern 1:
* DEV VLANs + DEV Subnets
* PROD VLANSs + PROD Subnets
* Firewalls between DEV and PROD subnets at network layer
- firewall rules implemented by separate net/sec team

Pattern 2:
* DEV VLANs + DEV Subnets
* PROD VLANSs + PROD Subnets
* Firewalls implemented through Security Groups (cloud based platforms)
- firewall rules delegated to product teams

I would be interested to see what other patterns teams are using and how security and operations protections are achieved.

I am a student studying Computer Science at the Yarmouk university of Jordan :)

please can you help me to write implementing or source code file to the solutions of the following question?

Given a list of n natural numbers d1, d2, . . . , dn, show how to decide in polynomial time whether there exists an undirected graph G = (V, E)whose node degrees are precisely the numbers d1, d2, . . . , dn. (That is, ifV = {v1, v2, . . . , vn}, then the degree of vi should be exactly di.) G should not contain multiple edges between the same pair of nodes, or “loop” edges with both endpoints equal to the same node.

and the attached file in the solution to question :)

please help me

I've known PhDs who wrote very high level design docs full of hand-waved features. When they implemented anything, half of the features were segfaulting and the code base was a mess.

None of this changed their self confidence in the slightest. Curiously, people pushing for formal methods, unit tests and sane design practices were all non-PhDs.

If your plan was to remain anonymous on FB, it would. But that's not what their .onion service is for.

The ingenuiety of the hidden service is that FB basically inverted Tor's idea. Tor is really good at bypassing restrictive net filters, while at the same time it hides your browsing destination. So in effect FB turned a Tor address into their own highly resilient web proxy. Where a proxy normally provides a guarded way out of a network, the hidden service provides an otherwise untraceable way in.

Now, technically it is ~possible to identify FB-Tor traffic from regular Tor traffic. At least in some sense. Because the address is inside the .onion network, there are only half as many routing hops between the client and the server. So if you, as a well funded governmental adversary, first identify nearly all Tor traffic, you can then see which clients receive their responses notably faster than the rest.

These faster roundtrips are very likely using hidden services. If you then drill down even further, I am sure you should be able to identify a reasonably large fraction of your own subjects who are clearly accessing FB and thus stepping around the nationally imposed censure.

For the record, Alec didn't consider the above traffic analysis attack particularly feasible. And we both agreed that the straightforward solution is to get a lot more traffic for hidden services in general. Once FB is not the sole huge site with a hidden service, their traffic cannot stand out.
Would it? Perhaps we wouldn't be so cagey around racist grandparents (or their equivalent) if they weren't going to die soon.

I think it's an incredibly pessimistic view of humanity to suggest social change can only come about through death.

Moreover, I think this argument tends to come solely from people trying to excuse death, rather than any kind of reasonable analysis.

Maybe they are doing this on some very low margin products? Are brand new video games low margin?
I'd argue there's a big difference between companies with positive gross margins and companies with negative gross margins, though both may be making losses in total.

Amazon most certainly has positive gross margins - and instead chooses to reinvest profits aggressively. Tesla is less certain, but I think a far cry from some of the unicorns that continue to run on deeply negative gross margins with the expectation that scale/future tech/vague fantasies will save them.

On the other hand many unicorns don't currently have business models where they are selling dollars for more-than-a-dollar.

Bangladeshi here. SA has to do everything with that. Mostly SA funded madrassas and mosques, and SA has huge influence over the govt. and the people since SA hires many foreign workers from Bangladesh. Before continuing the debate on there is no proof that SA has done that (from my experience, that is how it proceeds), the tremendous economic and religious influence of SA has forced people to stop talking about it. Several secular bloggers have been murdered because they criticized SA branded Islam.

On a related note, I never understand why some people are always so eager to give SA the benefit of doubt.

Partner is an architect in SF (works on 2nd St.)

She's currently dealing with two overlapping regulations, one from the state, the other from the city:
(1) All electrical outlets must be placed less than 18 inches from the edge of a countertop, to make them accessible to people in wheelchairs

(2) A countertop must have an outlet every 18 inches, or less.

They're getting held up in permitting because there is a no constructible L-shaped countertop that satisfies both of these constraints. The best part, nobody on either side seems to care much, they're "just doing their job"...and housing isn't getting built.

I'm not sure what to make of this, other than that it's the newest brilliant "innovation" from the place that banned happy meal toys, and outlawed plastic bags.

Ever since there started being discounts for Prime-only members I knew it was the beginning of the end of my using Amazon.

My last online order was with Walgreens. I never tried them before but I googled for the product I had in my Amazon cart, it was cheaper at Walgreens, I added a few things to get up to $35 for free shipping, those things were also cheaper than on Amazon. I got the delivery faster than my last few free standard shipping orders with Amazon.

For a long time Amazon was the "default" in my mind for shopping online and I see now there's no reason it should be that way anymore.

Amazon put a lot of effort over the years into establishing themselves as the best place to buy nearly everything online. Now they seem bound and determined to throw that title away. Between rising prices, add-on items, confusing marketplace sellers, a refusal to sell certain products that compete with Amazon branded products, and now this ridiculous Prime tie-in, I find it more and more difficult to find a reason to buy stuff from them.
