"I can't imagine an S3/GCS bucket restriction like that, so I'm curious how customers will be expected to work around it."

Amazon S3 has a 5TB object size limit and only 5GB (!) can be uploaded in a single PUT[1]. Different limits, but still something people have to work around.

An actual filesystem on ZFS makes all of these limits disappear. Does anyone offer cloud storage based on that ?

Man, that would be awesome.

There's a fundamental difference. Radio broadcasts are generally considered public performances, and generally handled under blanket licenses with ASCAP, BMI, and the like. There is also a separate blanket licensing scheme for digital streaming radio, SoundExchange. There is no blanket licensing for digital downloads; thus, to provide digital downloads that contain music, PRI would have to negotiate separate contracts with each of the copyright holders.

The GERB party doesn't do any politics or strategic decisions in favour of the nation. Its sole purpose is to keep bureaucracy high and its favoured companies busy by distributing EU funds through "power channels". More bureaucracy means easy money for that same "elite".

More so if you view them as a company that is normally less hostile (these days).

I still receive those spammy emails. And Sendgrid is fully in bed with them.

Forwarded spam to Sendgrid and they said they will follow up with Uber (so apparently they are Uber's customer support at this point - great!)

The spamming practice never changed or stopped despite Sendgrid telling me they will send my email to them (!!) to unsubscribe me from their list, when I didn't even subscribe in the first place.

As I received more Uber spam I kept updating Sendgrid ticked (zendesk). Eventually some 2 weeks later they closed it as "resolved" and never replied to my emails again. I still get Uber Spam from Sendgrid. Stay away from that piece of shit as long as you can!! (both Uber and Sendgrid)

PS. As of Uber, I copied all my emails and forwarded them to FCC. In short telephone conversation I was told I'm not the only one and as they have reached over 1,000 complaints in short period of time, they will be investigating both into Uber practices and also Sendgrid as an accomplice to their alleged crime.

An "edgy" name can get you in real trouble. The brilliant programmer Dan Farmer [1] who developed the security tool that he named SATAN [2] was fired from his job when he published his program. If you haven't heard of SATAN, it was the most important network security analysis tool in the late 1990s.

I feel certain that the name was the critical factor that made his company so nervous. For a while he had two different names for the program, SATAN and SANTA, to try and reduce the stigma, but it didn't work.

I think it can get close to competing with a native SDK in performance. With WebGL2, SIMD.js, JavaScript shared memory threads and WebAssembly it could get close enough that few will care about the difference.

I think ease of development really depends on the developer and tools.

I can't speak for OS integration as it has never interested me to a great extent as a user. I'm sure some users care but I don't.
But does it perform better? I have not noticed any indication from this article and I do not have enough experience to derive it just from looking. I assume the only reason to do this, given that it seems less readable, is performance.

Working at pizza shops, malls, etc., those things used to be jobs for high schoolers or people between HS and college. It's a shame for many people, the lack of skills makes these the only jobs they can get.

I remember a good number of people on high school who thought they didn't fit in, only went because their parents made them go and who had no intention of going to college or university. Their plan was getting a blue collar job or working for a friend's dad or the like. These days their outlook is dim. There was little forethought in what their situation might look 20 years on, given their choices.

Having grown near the city he was a mayor (Conflans St Honorine) his influence on french politics has lead to a severe turn of technocracy and denial of democracy.

His (in)famous disciples are [0] Macron, A. Richard, Valls, Sapin, DSK that are all famous for priming business accounting based decisions other the people's choices. A very capitalist/market friendly turn of socialism, that makes US democrats looks like hardcore communists.

Valls (Val d'Oise federation) and Richard (St Ouen l'Aumonne) were famous for their interest in politic agenda and despising the people.

I do regret that some google washing has been made on his keyword in google because right now, all his obituaries are saying how human and nice this man was, and I can't factualize my memories.

He was also a great artisan of the European Union, I may say in the direction most europeans maybe a tad mad with: the one where enlightened freaks and crony technocrats can lead 300 millions people to a destiny they did not choose.

For the software patents he was like for a lot of things choosing direction randomly by reading techno-prohecies and as coincidence happens, he happened to be right on this.

With his death, we remember that my generation scarified to the altar of the greater good envisioned by the 68' generation may have one day the power to choose their destiny ... democratically now that these people begin to die.

He did great things still, like helping to solve the post colonialist kanak situation in new caledonia and was at least a convinced pro-peace and pro-friendship between people, even at the cost of an heavy jacobinism.

If you don't want another wind turbine then fire up a nuke plant or two.
The difference is that at a startup you as one of a handful of individuals actually make or break the company. You should be getting sufficient equity to make it worthwhile, and yes you should be wise enough not to burn yourself out, but you also need to be ready to go the extra mile to give yourself a chance at success. That doesn't mean let companies take advantage of you, but there has to be some mutual level of trust and commitment between early employees or a startup will surely fail.

For larger companies it's more transactional in nature: they have a job and a budget, and you have your own interests. The agreement you come to is more of a coldly calculated negotiation.
I started programming "for real" with Turbo Pascal (5.5 probably) while in high school. It was easy to copy it for personal use from there. Although later I actually went and bought Borland Pascal 7.0, a big and fairly expensive box with the disks and lots of books inside. I think I wanted it to be able to create Windows applications, but ended up hating Windows, so really only utilized a little of its potential..
That's not exactly what you quoted though - you quoted "The sale of...". Fairly inconsistent for someone who insists on consistency. Surely you can see how those words are important.

This is the problem: Tobacco causes 20% of deaths and is industry and lobby driven, and is discussed here as a cause of unequal mortality. That's the topic. I think that anything that causes 20% of deaths should be avoided if possible. You saying that "protecting people isn't my goal" is obnoxious and rude. Forget "harm Big Tobacco" - I don't want all those people to die prematurely if possible. How you can twist that into me being the problem is perverted.

Gay sex is a completely different issue. It's not industry driven, and it's a rounding error compared to tobacco deaths. There's no nuance. It's not relevant to the topic. I haven't stated a position on it as it is not relevant (whether you wrote a blog post on it or not). Yet you invent my position on it, and call me unprincipled. Again, obnoxious and rude.

You are committing several logical fallacies here, but most importantly: This topic is not about my position on gay sex. Not at all.
> It's just not realistic to expect 87.4% of the population to accommodate the "native language" of the remaining percentage

Almost no one is suggesting that. What is being suggested is that AAVE shouldn't be derided as talking "like hoodlums" (to quote the parent comment). Employment discrimination based upon someone retaining elements of AAVE is considered acceptable to some, but I've never seen them argue that discriminating against someone who speaks New England English is acceptable (or seen them address how showing the influence of one dialect is much more harmful to your employment chances than showing the influence of the other).

It makes sense that people should learn General American and try to use it to facilitate communication, but the negative stigma attached to particular dialects and not others is problematic and encourages bigotry.
... hence this push. They want people to get on board while it's still possible to convince them.

That's the concept that encapsulates privacy, speech, etc.

The America-centric names are less appealing to me, since many equate "America" with the federal government, which is definitely not the friend of liberty / free speech / privacy.
Autopilot systems in aviation have become so complex and diverse that there is no single catch-all sentence to describe them. I guess you could come close with the phrase "a system designed to keep and guide the state of the aircraft within and through certain set constrains".

Those constrains could be constant like a certain heading or a direction (not the same thing by the way), a series of vectors or a single vector (like a flight-path or an approach to a runway) or constraints that depend on dynamic variables like controlling the altitude and speed according to the weight of the aircraft or automatically avoiding traffic.

Of course the pilot must be standing by because a) autopilots do not keep track of everything (and aviation control interfaces are quite complex) and b) sensors can and do malfunction.

Words have meaning and are way more important than you could even imagine. We don't think with words, we use words to think.

One example comes to mind, back in the day people used to use the word "Exploited" to talk about workers being drained of their life force. When you say exploited you assume that there is an exploiter, that someone is guilty of that worker's shitty life.

Now we mostly say the "Disenfranchised" or "Disadvantaged" which takes the "Exploiter" out of the equation entirely and put the workers plight mostly on the back of bad luck than anything else.

Words are very important.
Well, Unix is pronounced 'Eunuchs' too (and it was on purpose)!
The definitions are ultimately arbitrary because they're just abstractions and the specifics are often more political than scientific.

Most regional variation these days is what's colloquially called an accent: the exact same words, just with slightly different sounds (strictly speaking: the same phonemes produces slightly differently). Sometimes a few idiosyncratic words are mixed in for good measure.

What seems most surprising to me as a German about English is actually that in the UK there seem to be vastly more dialects compared to Germany but each seems to share much more vocabulary and grammar. The differences often entirely consist of pronunciation.

I guess this is because Germany is historically not one country but several: Bavaria really is something entirely different from Swabia, Saxony, Rhineland or Westphalia. It's just in modern times (literally only in the late 20th century) that most German speakers no longer speak their full regional dialects.

That said, "standard" English is simply a matter of definition. In the UK "standard" means RP, in the US it means GA. There's nothing special about these "standard" versions, they're just a specific dialect that is defined as the standard to be used as the official language. They're still dialects, though.

"Language" really just means "spectrum of mutually intelligible dialects". And that definition is already contradictory because not every pair of two languages within the spectrum is as mutually intelligible as any other. And sometimes different "languages" can be somewhat mutually intelligible (e.g. Afrikaans and Dutch) or even asymmetrical (e.g. Dutch speakers understand Afrikaans better than vice versa).

Heck, in everyday conversation it's probably best to always read "language" to mean "dialect". It's just a useful abstraction that mostly leaks too much to be actually useful.

Yes, internally Pandas stores the data as a series of homogeneous arrays, which correspond to one more columns in the data-frame. Details here: http://www.jeffreytratner.com/slides/pandas-under-the-hood-p...

I agree with what you say except that I consider data-frames one of R's strengths. What makes R data-frames great is that the language is designed around these data structures, thus allowing most of their inherent limitations to be overcome by following "good practices". The problem of porting data-frames to other environments as in the case of pandas in my opinion is precisely a lack of language support, which makes the whole thing feel a little stitched together.

I hate when people hate the "if you have nothing to hide, why do you care?" question because it's a valid question.

Actually, I find any “don’t remind me again” button in a pop-up message to be a sign of poor application design. In every case that I’ve seen one, the message was completely unnecessary in the first place. Instead, software should have better default settings, or be redesigned to avoid the message-spamming situation from the beginning.

Even the concept of a focus-stealing message is an anachronism. We saw it a lot in software from the 80s and 90s but those machines were not as powerful. Today, we know people have tons of stuff to do with their computers and that they are always multitasking; the idea that any single message could be considered important enough to stop the user from doing anything else is misguided.

If I turn on my computer, or wake it from sleep, or start working on it, I have stuff to do. If a message is going to demand my attention, it had better be saying “your laptop appears to be on fire” and not “Windows 10, oh please oh please!?”.
