The latter can't really happen given Python is a statements- and indentations-based language. You'd need some really weird meta-magical syntax which really isn't going to happen in Python. Although you can cheat by fucking around with decorators e.g.

def postfix(fn, *args):
return lambda arg: fn(arg, *args)

@postfix(map, range(5))
def result(i):
return i * i

print result
# [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

(`postfix` is necessary because `map` takes its argument positionally so it's not possible to pass in the sequence with functools.partial)
What makes it crowded if no one lives there? Empty buildings? /s
These people who sold their Bay Area homes and moved somewhere else to pay cash for a house seem to gloss over the fact that they were able to do this because they struggled in the Bay Area for so many years and became real estate wealthy. They won't see this kind of real estate wealth growth in their new communities.
Does that extend to requiring that single females be willing to rent out their sofa to males?

And if you expect that of AirBnB do you expect the same for private apartment sharing arrangements?

LOL for sure.

And I agree about other industries but I happen to be in tech.
Yup, rents have gone up approx. 50% in the last few years. A 1 BR in SF is now averaging $3200/mo. I believe. AVERAGING.

The secret killer behind these prices is that only newcomers pay them. Most renters who have been in SF for more than 5 years are in a rent-controlled building, which means their rent is basically locked in, which is good on one hand but on the other, you can never move out. Black mold? Leaking roof? Rat infestation? Illegal units stealing your electricity? It creates a situation where people will deal with any and all hazards and illegal situations just to maintain their low rent because they know if they move they have nowhere else to go.

There won't be a definitive result until 7am BST. Apparently the final result must be available well before the London markets open at 8am BST. Various regions will announce their counts through the night.
> you can use them as fully anonymous functions.

A lambda can only contain a single expression, by "full anonymous function" I'm guessing hexane360 means multiple statements. You can't put a for loop or a context manager in a lambda for instance.
So, you're making 'decent bank' now yet you need to make 4x that to live in SF?

06/09/1992: Ken's brother, Alan, hogs the computer by
playing a new game titled "Wolfenstein 3D"

own version, originally titled "Walken" (Walk + Ken)

http://advsys.net/ken/mrein.htm:

stonewall: In 1993 you made a proposal for the Build engine on
behalf of Epic Games. At the time Epic was releasing pinball
games and a year later research began on Unreal. What were your
plans for Build and how did not getting that engine affect Epic?

Mark: I'd say we came out way ahead the way things worked out.
With Ken Silverman (creator of the Build engine) on board we
might not have been as motivated to make our own technology.
Build was good tech and of course Duke Nukem got made with it,
but it wasn't a long-term technology play like the Unreal Engine.
So both Epic and 3DRealms ended up better off for the way things
worked out. 3DRealms produced the monster hit Duke Nukem 3D and,
by complete coincedence, we went on to produce the engine that
they will use for the sequel to it.

No, but I've built at least one project where I'm 100% sure that if we had not chosen the 'micro service' path we'd never have completed it at all. Mind you, this was in the early 90's and we called them administrators but the end result was much the same. Easy to understand components fit together with lightweight glue.

That project was exactly that, fast startup with 3 programmers, one of who was doubling as the tech guy. It made a few hundred million and it is still running today in more or less unmodified form (it's a bit prettier now, but the essence remains).

Monolithical development has a fairly low ceiling of complexity before you drown.
"StartEncrypt" is rather similar to the (trademarked) Let's Encrypt.

StartSSL even changed their CI colours from "green, with red highlights" to "exactly the same shade of blue Let's Encrypt has, with green highlights", I mean come on.
Python 3 at least changes the semantics of map and filter so that they are generators.

Lazy sequences are the sort of thing that you don't care about until you need to process a ten-million-line file (or whatever) and suddenly find that your program is slowing down for pointless memory allocations up-front -- then they become unbelievably important.
That counts as a provider too, and a likely one at that.
Was everything supposed to catch fire, or was that part of the failure? Either way, I'm amazed the camera survived.
I suggest you read up on North American hydrology. Fresh water is being depleted at a rate significantly greater than it is being replenished. It's also a stretch to call wastewater injection a "one-time loss of water" when we can expect to be doing it for 30-50 years.
I came from languages where a big standard library was de rigeur (python, java), and I quite like rust's approach personally. For one thing, having RNG in the standard library would make it much harder with rusts stability guarantee to iterate on the API design in meaningful ways. For another, it's way easier to maintain external dependencies in a rust project than in others. Cargo is like night and day compared to pip, for example.
I know someone who left a finance job in NYC to move to London. Was fired in his first week; the trading desk he had joined was abruptly closed down. I guess senior management kept the plans secret from the line managers who kept on hiring without knowing what was coming. So I don't think this sort of thing only happens in start-ups (if anything, I would guess this type of thing is more likely to happen in a large company where your hiring manager is several levels down from the CEO and might not have any idea that his business unit is about to be closed/divested/relocated/etc).

In most places telephone deployment involved huge taxes and forced build-out into counties that would be unprofitable. Also, the telephone company paid non-discriminatory fees to the pole/conduit owner.

This was often paid for / subsidized by the Universal Service Fund, because telephone service was seen as something absolutely necessary for modern life. Back in 1934.

ISPs, unfortunately, are not able to be subsidized by the Universal Service Fund. AFAIK.
AirBnB isn't discriminating. Private home owners are choosing to share their homes. For anti discrimination laws to apply, AirBnB would have to admit that many of their "sharing" people are just illicit hotels skirting the law.
I wonder if the new Linux compatibility subsystem for Windows provided any motivation for this change? That work seems likely to make Cygwin obsolete eventually, since it allows running unmodified applications rather than porting them.

I don't think so. Hiring is vulnerable to "behavioral" factors: cognitive biases etc. I'm very fearful of being overconfident, trusting hunches etc. I need hard data.

When I'm being interviewed, I respect the interviewer for demanding hard data, instead of just checking who talks the talk.
Not just that, but how many people will join their ranks as well? The story won't go unnoticed and most people in the Tech Industry will hear about it in some shape or form.

They will have a hard time to find new people. Especially seniors. They wont leave their good, stable jobs for an employer like that.

I'm pretty sure the lawyer would have known about letsencrypt.org and their Let's Encrypt project before filing this.

So that being said, reading the fine print of what the lawyer had to sign in order to submit the application, shouldn't the lawyer be vulnerable to perjury charges?

Excerpt from http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn86790719&docId... :

The signatory believes that: if the applicant is filing the application under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(a), the applicant is the owner of the trademark/service mark sought to be registered; the applicant is using the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods/services in the application; the specimen(s) shows the mark as used on or in connection with the goods/services in the application; and/or if the applicant filed an application under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(b), § 1126(d), and/or § 1126(e), the applicant is entitled to use the mark in commerce; the applicant has a bona fide intention, and is entitled, to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods/services in the application. The signatory believes that to the best of the signatory's knowledge and belief, no other persons, except, if applicable, concurrent users, have the right to use the mark in commerce, either in the identical form or in such near resemblance as to be likely, when used on or in connection with the goods/services of such other persons, to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive. The signatory being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, and that such willful false statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of the application or any registration resulting therefrom, declares that all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true and all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.
Just like half the statements here, this could be changed to "People from the bay area", "People from LA", etc. California has a lot of great people and beauty but when you equate the whole state with the two big cities, of course it paints a negative picture. The entire central coast I met more awesome people than I have living in Chicago for 20 years.

You may be right (I'm not well-versed in the trademark system), but at least we can agree that this is a more complicated matter than what Comodo is doing. I mean, there is no plausibility in Comodo's case - just plain evil.

The Moral Character of Cryptocurrency-Related Work
If anyone whose been let go by Joist is reading this: I'm a developer with Amazon in Toronto. There's a lot going on here- 300 developers in 4 or 5 major divisions doing all kinds of interesting stuff. The pay's good (for Toronto), we're well located (beside Union station), and of course we're hiring.

My username, but at my company's name, dot-com. Happy to chat by email, but I'll link you to our jobs site: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?location%5B%5D=toronto-can...

As someone who enjoys being outdoors, I love CA and the Bay Area especially. The weather is great year round, and there is so much spectacular and wildly different areas to see within a relatively short drive, it's amazing.

But the cost of living is completely insane. It doesn't help that I moved from one of the cheapest places to live (Gainesville, FL), but my salary just about tripled when I made the move, and it's still a struggle. My $650/mo mortgage for a 1200 square foot house that seemed expensive and kinda small at the time is replaced by a $3k/mo rent for 930 square feet. Then state income taxes take a huge chunk where FL had none, yet FL's sales tax is the same or lower...

CA is roundly better than FL in just about every other way so it's worth paying a premium for now to be out here but it's pretty clear that it's not sustainable long term. I'm also happy to be paying much higher taxes if the money is being used responsibily but it is incredibly frustrating to see the government continually make no progress on solving the affordability and traffic problems of the area.
And that's a bit ironic, given that we rely on them for part of the foundation of internet security... just say'n is all.
And static IPs, and a lack of language in the contract stating that servers cannot be hosted on it, and so on and so forth.
It's closer to a microkernel.
Well, Paypal gives the impression to buyers that they're the ones telling Paypal how much to pay anyway. If I recall correctly the amount displayed on the Paypal payment page is for information only and the API leaves it up to the seller how much to actually charge, and in some cases this may change (for example, because the site can't calculate shipping fees until Paypal gives them the buyer's address).
We've lost most of our friends now, and the roots we were putting down over the last 7 years are eroding a bit. For the record our household income fluctuates between 300 and 400k and we live in a microhouse (500sqft) in Berkeley. Expanding is a difficult proposition.

Its an interesting set of factors that lets me buy a Ferrari far easier than a house. First lifestyle money, then tech money, now foreign investment.

And there are a lot of subtle changes neighboorhood to neighboorhood. Mission was once the most expensive in SF, now Berkeley is surpassing even them. Hayes Valley becomes hip, and Precedio Heights becomes more affordable because of the lack of public transit.

For the most part i've surmised that the city is full of smaller town transplants who graduate and think their 120k offer is the greatest opportunity of their lives. They shortly find out it barely gets them a toilet with two roommates and end up leaving for Seattle, Portland, etc while staying with their company. This cycle repeats over and over

Meanwhile, this engine extends the SFBay problem to the B and C cities -- leaving fewer places to run to.
Why did Lets Encrypt not previously register a trademark of their own?
Hotels have regulations that private homes don't. Though many of AirBnB's "hosts" would probably qualify under more regulations than they actually follow.

The Comodo cert was for 5 years at a total of $25 IIRC. I didn't consider that bad at all, especially as that was add-and-forget.

Of course that's still like a money printing machine, and wildcards and greenbars are much more. But the deal was pretty fine for my personal domain. To be frank, I would probably have renewed with them.
There is far too much malware that exists to turn these devices on to spy on the user without indicating to them that they are operating. If you pick up that malware, your only defence is covering those devices to render them useless at that point in time.

You can get a studio out here for less than $3K in a good location, but it will take time and effort and you may lose A LOT OF PATIENCE trying to find it in places that are less than ideal. Now you may be saying, "but why not roommates," in which case I would say "hell is other people, especially when you live with them." Good on you for moving to a reasonable COL city, the best thing I can say about SF's job market is many companies out there let you work remote because apparently finding decent tech people out here is hard, so you could make the SF salary with that $1K per month rent and live like a king.
Echoing what you said, I've never met nicer people or made friends more easily than when I lived in Sacramento.
If you want to improve as a developer, I'm sure people here can offer advice. (In that case, you should probably elaborate on what you think your shortcomings are in programming.) But it sounds like you've decided you don't want to.

I think your options are either 1) find a new job and leave, or 2) see if it's possible for you to be useful at your current job without writing your own code. If you trust your management, you could ask them which makes more sense there. If not, you should probably leave anyway.

I tend to disagree (on the latter point). Encrypt is a generic word here. I don't think it's appropriate (nor consistent with the law) to grant broad trademark protection for generic terms.

To me, it's closer to "Joe's Pizza," "Anna's Pizza", and "Arlington Pizza" all selling, well pizza. Could someone confuse Arlington Pizza and Anna's Pizza? Sure, especially if Anna's Pizza is in Arlington and the owner of Arlington Pizza is named Anna. Nevertheless, you can't trademark "<Adjective> Pizza"

Right. paying obligations. Hard to get people to work for you if you have a history of shirking your obligations. I want good people in government and city administration.

Likewise... homeless assistance: More a matter of how money is spent, not how much. Either way, it's something the city needs to budget for. Most of the homeless are San Francisco natives priced out of their homes, with nowhere else to go. The city redirecting resources that might mitigate their plight will not make the problem go away.
You don't have to point to human history, though that's a good source of missing scripts. Waving off scripts actually in use as "increasingly obscure", while cheering Unicode throwing in any icon random geeks pitch to them, misses the purpose of Unicode.
My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard
It would be far more damaging for someone to access the webcam on my girlfriend's laptop vs. the data on it. She has no access to any useful financial information or accounts, but images captured in her hotel room during a work trip could easily be used to blackmail her.

It would also be trivial for someone in her company's IT department to do so, and the same is true at many other companies (and schools). The software that many IT departments use to monitor company-owned computers + prevent theft allows them to access any aspect of the computer on demand, without the user's knowledge.
It's not great that the icon is the exact same for the native and the google calendar app.

I would highly recommend using Elastic Beanstalk on AWS. I use the python platform most of the time, but PHP is available as well. If you're a new user, you can get a year on a t2.micro for free, and even if you have to pay that usually works out to about thirty-ish dollars a month which is probably tenable.
Just pray you don't end up on the wrong side of the law (to be fair, the same could be said of CA).
That sounds about right. I don't think its that expensive given the car itself. I've personally turned wrenches on street cars with higher maintenance costs than that (due to big turbos and pump gas). Still way more than a Miata, though. :)
You are right, and I apologize.

But...those things aren't driving the economy. Those examples are mostly driving the profits of credit card companies; if people saved more responsibly and used their money responsibly, the could likely (and ironically?) afford to buy more goods, and not less.

Instead of large chunks of their income going to credit card companies (via interest), it could instead be spread out among more stores.

For me, the "free" service of a credit card is not worth my neighbors being saddled with debt.

edit: That cartoon bothers me more the longer I think about it; I know it's supposed to be humorous, but does the author really think that lottery tickets are driving the economy?
I left NYC for the Bay Area two years ago and just moved back.

A lot of it was for personal and career reasons, a lot wasn't. At a certain point I couldn't justify paying oodles for a dark 1BR in Mountain View when that same money could get a better apartment in the West Village.
Ok, I think that makes sense. So, to restate, that means that RocksDB (or whatever) might have Facebook patented code/material in it, and Facebook is granting a very generous grant to use those patents.

...until a given organization comes into patent conflict with any of Facebook's patents, at which time their grants disappear.

So if I'm understanding that correctly, doesn't that basically mean the same thing? You're no longer allowed to use their software?
