They say that Cortés returned to the Spanish Court to report to the King on his conquest of México. King Carlos V asked him to describe the lay of this new land adjoined to his kingdom. Cortés asked for a piece of paper (still an expensive luxury at the time) and, instead of drawing on it, he shocked the court by crumpling it into a wrinkly chaos. That is the topography of México.

I agree and we (dev lead at Appuri here) achieve the best of both worlds from Kube by in the secrets section of a deployment definition, specifying what secrets we need, but not the value. So we know what services need it, and it's updated in one place. That's just for the secret store though, but we could put non-secrets in secret to use that mechanism.

I might consider releasing a paid extension or two, depending on demand. Perhaps a theme that really makes the most of Tailor's feature set (though to be honest I'd probably just end up releasing that for free too :P). It's important to note though that Tailor itself is and always will be free and features will never be removed. In fact it will only get better with time.

BASIC on an Acorn was my introduction to programming.

I was aware that the machine was very expensive.

Ours were all second hand, my dad taught students how to use them, but couldn't afford a new one.
I'd love to know what the biggest issues you faced were. Easy of use (for both users and developers) is a key goal with this plugin.

> It would be interesting to know more about his desire to work for Amazon that badly.

Amazon is basically the company I really, really, really want to work for, and the only reason I don't apply is that I have a small kid and a wife already working there, and I know how chaotic life would be if I did it now. So I'm waiting for the kid to grow a little more.

Now, the reason I want to work there so much is that I see them as the only big tech company providing actual value to society at large these days. Other companies have done it in the past, but it seems that now they only iterate on their old things or put out shiny but useless tech. Amazon on the other hand seems to be always coming up with new ways to innovate in ways that make people's lives more practical in a more real sense. I also admire them for basically having started the whole IaaS thing.

Another reason I want to work there is to learn. Few companies run large systems at the scale they do. From the outside (and from a little perspective I get from my wife, but she takes the whole "don't talk about what we do here" very seriously), they seem to have an awesome engineering culture - I was thrilled when I read the paper about them using formal methods to prove correctness of a number of AWS services. Working there must be a tremendous learning experience.

I am not talking about inventing data structures or an algorithm on the spot. It takes some amount of time to find the right data structure and the algorithm. I felt that the interviewers are not ready to give that time.

Say you have not seen a particular dynamic programming problem. It takes some time to get to the fact that there is a recursive solution to it, and then apply DP to it.

For a person who has seen that problem, it doesn't take a lot of time to write the code. While interviewing, you are compared to that person. Nobody takes that extra effort to actually appreciate somebody who thought about the problem and answered it.

For a tech industry that prides itself in hiring the best / most talented, this is ironic.

> What will Verve do well, that no (major) language does well?

I'm always thinking about that, and I honestly wouldn't write a "proper" language (as in working on it full time, and expecting people to really adopt it) without having an answer for that. Nonetheless, I still see the value in writing things that are not ground-breaking, for the sake of learning. Just reading about compilers and PLT without any practice was really hard for me, and working on this language has been super helpful from a learning perspective.
you've got it wrong. Investigators do so much work to help these families. No cop wants a murderer to walk, that's why they get into the job in the first place. If you haven't talked to police before, especially investigation units, you need to recognize your assumptions are wrong.

You're basically saying that Venezuelan officials understand good market and monetary policy. And yet their domestic price controls, which are the _direct_ cause of the country's current dire straits (and not the price of oil) suggests that they don't understand or accept the most basic of economic rules which even market skeptics (like Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamad, credited rightly or wrongly for Malaysia avoiding the worst of the 1997 Asian financial crisis) grudgingly accept.

So it's really quite a puzzle. I tend to think all the explanations play a part: 1) maintaining kickbacks and cash flow to powerful players, 2) keeping face wrt Chavism, and 3) ensuring that the national oil company remains (at least in their eyes) a global player.

You do understand that comments like this are actually building their case for problems in the community right? I've read several of your comments on this page, and you're the only one making accusations without any evidence, and turning this into a flame war. If you don't like stack, don't use it.

I'm not a big fan of this whole community splitting action, but to think that it's been undertaken as a coup d'état to take control of the community by a commercial entity is verging on tinfoil hat territory.

And you know what? Stack is a fantastic tool for newcomers, we use it exclusively for our commercial Haskell projects and it's changed our development practices for the better by a long way. Something that built today I can be sure will build in a year without changes - cabal has never been able to guarantee that. I'm really glad someone has put in the huge amount of effort to make a better Haskell build tool, it's been far too long coming.

So you maintain immense industrial Haskell builds, presumably for pay. Yet you expect other people, many of them volunteers, to take up the busywork of bounds maintenance, for free, so that your immense builds work.

Yesod is not broken. It builds just fine using a sane build tool. Yesod does not become broken because you insist on using a tool that crafts arbitrary build plans.
Nice guide. Just some other OPSEC stuff we have done for occasional problems in the field training human rights defenders and journalists (who needed specific solutions)...

You can always use a call relay. So you can give people one phone number that relays to your own real number (for voice calls) - although an voice call is obviously more vulnerable than Signal call etc.

Ditto, AFAIK there is the ability to setup a relay for SMS through an Android. I can't remember the app but basically people could SMS that number and it relays to you real number.

Before people jump on me, yes I am aware of the weaknesses of both of the above but sometimes a specific type of threat model requires these two tricks. I recommend it unless you are aware of the trade offs.
The question is historical. I think you can't have been making your immense industrial build in the years immediately preceding `Wed Aug 15 14:54:44 UTC 2012` when `yesod` signed on to Brian O'Sullivan's plan of omitting upper bounds throughout Hackage (a plan which on your view must itself have arisen from O'Sullivan's madness and incompetence or vested interest in a non-existent FPComplete that he never had anything to do with, since there was of course no problem at all, it was just a fiction he cooked up). `yesod`s 2012 act of compliance was on your view calculated by FPComplete (founded 2013) to take over Haskell by means of a then non-existent `stack` tool (2015). On that day, the installation of `yesod`, a perfectly innocent web-related library, required the installation of 145 distinct Hackage packages, as you can verify with a couple of commands. The previous record was held by the pandoc executable which in the form it took on that same fateful day (pandoc-1.9.4.2) required the installation of only 47 distinct packages. Yet in the previous years unlimited amounts of ink had been spilt on the pandoc list and #haskell explaining what was going wrong when pandoc users tried to build the newest version with the feature they had prayed for. With `yesod` things were now completely out of control. This had nothing whatsoever to do with `yesod` or anything else being in itself broken. `yesod` presumably did actually need e.g. `x509-validation` and `aeson-pretty`. Other packages went over to the plan announced by O'Sullivan too, though most of them reverted. --All of this, on your view, was part of a hostile take-over plan by the non-existent FPComplete. You are by the way of course benefitting from stackage in ways you are not recognizing, though, like me, you are not a regular stack user. It is very familiar that before stackage, there was much less coherence among the Hackage libraries. Things were best about one month after a new ghc was released.

JANET, which routed email to Czechoslovakia, as the legend goes...

Back then mainly the Computer Science departments had email, so they'd have domain names beginning with a cs. in the ARPA scheme, but, since JANET did it backwards, you'd have to rearrange the domain name so it ended with a .cs for that network. If you did that and didn't reverse it back, the domain name would have a ccTLD of .cs, which is what Czechoslovakia used.

(The .cs ccTLD existed until 1995, years after Czechoslovakia ceased to. The .su ccTLD (Soviet Union) still exists.)

I love speeding ticket anecdotes!

I’m white, and live in CO. I was traveling the day before Thanksgiving and traveled through South Fork, CO (which is at the bottom of a mtn. pass). I was just following the car in front of me (at a 200m distance), doing ~40mph. Apparently, the speed limit drops to 35mph for a short stretch in the ‘business district.' I saw him in my rear-view, pulled over, and he pulled-up beside me. He rolled down his window and told me to follow him because he had someone else to ticket (I was clocked at 43mph he said). He gave us both tickets that were $100/ no points if paid quickly, it’s a total racket.

Also, I’ve been pulled over ~15 times in the last 20 years (mostly in Boulder), and I’ve never left my hands on the wheel. I immediately go to my glove box and get my registration/insurance, then grab my license. By the time the cop gets to my window, I just hand over all 3 documents at once.

One time, I was doing 90mph through Denver at 4am for a Crispy Creme run as the designated driver. On I-25, I think the speed limit there was 55-60mph. He gave me a warning.

Atlassian has become much less of a caring company since they’ve gone public (or are preparing to). They’ve completely ruined SourceTree on Mac (an unnecessary interface redesign that took functionality away which still hasn’t been fixed almost 9 months later) and have been very careless in HipChat iOS client’s updates (shipping crippling bugs and not fixing them). They also used to be very friendly to feedback on Twitter but now are completely silent and don’t help or comment at all. Atlassian might’ve been a good company at some point but they aren’t any more. I’d rather use a fully open source solution that is mostly developed in the open (GitLab) than to be locked into a proprietary package (GitHub) or a downright user-hostile option (Bitbucket).
