We have a similar design but need to juggle js and python in some interesting ways. There are only so many variations on the theme of CI so I'm not surprised about the convergent design. Our environment is not as heterogenous and we leverage pre-baked AMIs and LXC containers for isolation and reproducibility.

My contention was the emphasis on local reproducibility. In the past I would have said yes, local reproducibility should be a feature of any well designed CI pipeline but nowadays I'm not sure anymore.

Local development environments are optimized for iteration speed at the cost of reproducibility and stability. Whether this is the right decision or not can be debated. CI environment on the other hand is designed for reproducibility and stability. Those sets of requirements are somewhat at odds and you can't optimize for all at the same time. Tools should be shared across local and CI environments as much as possible but not when it comes at the cost of compromising the requirements for each environment.
Agreed. That's one of the reason why this initiative stalls. However the back idea is to standardize a DRM protocol that would be accepted by the copyright owners and that's a step in the right direction.
You can take him, we no longer have need. When can you come? Better bring a truck.

Seriously tho. Did you notice a lot of Russians in Bulgaria recently? Living, buying property, being annoying? Why did you think they left Russia and come to Bulgaria? Couldn't stand the awesomness?

What Putin did all these years: spent oil dollars that suddently surged, increasing wages without caring for productivity. Invited millions of Muslim migrants from neighbouring countries while young/educated Russians were leaving. Demolished the remnants of elections system and separation of branches of governnment. He also lost Ukraine and had the best international strategy of buying allies for cash.
As far as I can tell from playing with many of them:

- Almost all (open source and proprietary) prefer mbox-style

- If not mbox, then it is monolithic file per folder, very few if any store email per file like maildir, despite it having many benefits [0] (if you are smarter than Bernstein on such things, please do write on these things; no one gives a shit to explain email out because it is not sexy)

- The index system always stores data separate of the email store; I have not seen a counter example, perhaps for Outlook, which I presume uses the Windows/OSX OS-level indexing

- To get back to my point re generic FTS, there it is, keep the OS ones so people can search in one place (I use recoll and notmuch for email specifically; it's annoying)

- What optimizations are there for indexing beyond header info? Again, good FTS systems can be extended (for what I define as good)[1]

I do not mean to criticize your points, but I do support work and all of these clients do good for non-technical users, but are ticking times bombs that shit themslves and require resyncing all data when they corrupt massive multi-gig files, let alone re-indexing it all.

Using them is one thing, having to fix them is what informs my opinions on this and why I sync to maildirs, use mutt-kz, and webmail depending on mood and time.

I unfortunately did back it, and am very disappointed with the lack of progress. I imagine if I had been public about it like the author of the blog post, I would be pretty angry too with the response of oblivious backers trying their hardest to deny the fact that they made a bad deal.

It's a game that's way behind schedule. People shouldn't defend it, they should demand results. And if people would be so immature as to put down others demanding results, the immature blog post is understandable.
Unpleasant Design: design that bullies its users
This is the law of unintended consequences. Data points are correlated to other data points. Unless your hiring algorithm is a random number generator, you could find some sort of "bias" you didn't intend.

At least an algorithm is measurable, repeatable, and consistent. Yes, you have to monitor the output of any process for unintended consequences, then you make tweaks as appropriate to eliminate unintended outcomes.
Looks like that might be a possibility. Tesla says that autopilot wasn't even engaged before the accident.
Exactly.

I didn't present numbers because those are hard to prove but I agree with your assessment. Anytime you're over 60% (at least 1-way which is what you were describing, your personal comprehension, not the Italian's), you're in great shape. 60-90% (a low estimate because it's one side) is getting into dialect territory. Simple statements and conversations are not a problem and that's definitely mutual intelligibility. Yes it is a bit of a stretch, but everything in one way or another is a stretch. As a general judgment call I think it stands. My point was, as a native English speaker and conversational speaker of Castellano myself- my English enables me to understand exactly zero other languages. Mutual intelligibility is indeed real in the Latin world. There's little to no mutual intelligibility with English, except maybe to Frisian, I've never heard it in person. But there is definitely mutual intelligibility between the former Roman Empire except France and Romania. I do understand some Italian. Absolutely nothing compared to you or my wife. My wife has the roughly 60-90% comprehension ability you do with Italian.

On the 'mutual' side of mutual intelligibility, from what I've seen educated Portuguese and Italian speakers understand her even better than she understands them. At least, again, an educated speaker who doesn't get confused with their own language first.
Then keep exactly your preferred high-performance database design, but derive its data from maildir, such that all mail is persisted in maildir first.
I had a chance to talk to an expert in non-invasive polar bear research. He believed that this, and most other polar bear studies, are deeply flawed because of how traumatic the data collection is.

Before this particular polar bear's swim, it was: (1) pursued by a helicopter until it couldn't run any more. (2) Shot with a tranquilizer dart. Did you know that large animal tranquilizers don't put the animal to sleep? They merely paralyze its muscles so researchers can work on it. So it's entirely awake but unable to move for step (3) Extract a molar with pliers, to estimate the bear's age. Also add a collar with a GPS tracker. (4) Let the paralysis wear off in captivity. (5) Release it.

So, pretty fucking traumatic. Polar bears are intelligent scavengers which means they're curious, but very danger-phobic. The fact that it swam for hundreds of kilometers afterwards doesn't prove anything about any normal behavior.
This doesn't really surprise me. I should really download the ttf's and such and font-face it myself. My blog is built on a Jekyll theme that I lightly modified and as I recall didn't mess with the fonts at all.
My friends with children after they've had a few drinks have all told my wife and I to not have children.

Part of the question is, "Over what time horizon?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12050597). Many people with very young kids say it's the pits, but ones with older ones seem to do much better. And many people over age 45 or so who don't have kids seem to wish that they'd had kids.

I'm guessing that there's also a strong "grass is greener" element. In discussions about what to do in high school or college, half the responses always say "Study harder!" and half say "Party more!", with both sides seemingly recommending the thing they didn't do.
Having been to Delhi that does not seem to be enforced or effective. There are still petrol stations all over. And the pollution is still appalling.
Among those who really see abortion as a compelling issue many are pretty far left on immigration, national defense, capital punishment and social welfare programs. They find themselves stuck in a right wing they're not terribly comfortable in because they were drummed out of the Democratic Party, through its doctrinaire insistence on the abortion license.

Tesla fires back over ethics accusation after fatal crash
No data to back up my feeling that most of the pressure stay at home women get is from other women. My wife stays at home and we buck any negative comment together to keep those feelings at bay. We show we are proud of it, not ashamed by it and we aren't willing to let anyone else belittle our choices.

Any negative comment, any off-hand comment needs to be squashed immediately. Same thing happens with self-esteem issues I think. If the negative comments don't stop from 'friends' you have to make the sometimes tough choice to find better friends. I make sure to say with force how much she does, how helpless I'd be or what a mess I'd be without her help at home.

I think like yourself my mental state is strong enough that I choose lowering myself to lift her above the haters.

Well, maybe the people writing email clients have already thought quite a bit on this topic, likely created several prototypes, benchmarked them and chosen one that works the best given their constraints and features. Now all that's left is to open the format specification :)

For notifications, there are many Chrome extensions that add that feature to Inbox.

There may be extensions for other browsers as well, but I'm not sure about that.

It would be nice if Google added native support for notifications like they did with GMail though.
On the other hand iOS doesn't really support the use of alternatives to the built-in Mail app. I was trying Google Inbox in a new iPad where I didn't configure the built-in Mail, but then I wanted to mail a link to a web page from Safari and I couldn't. It seems is not possible to tell iOS or Safari that I want my emails to be sent through Inbox :(
Hacking People Growth (Part 1)
I think the ultimate force will not be about lives saved, but rather who owns the car and do they want their property to protect their investment.

It also seems lost in many of these conversations that we currently have drivers facing these circumstances already.
Perhaps more scrutiny should be put on if they are acting properly?

As for this article, it seems a bit ominous how much the car will know about the people around it. Do self driving cars portend the ultimate surveillance society?

30% of deaths but only 12% of US population suggests something's up.

Again, shoving everything into one file is mbox, which is a recognized file format (if not database), and it does not help things that much.

I have wondered the Sqlite thing myself beyond my one criticism. If anything, you would love K9 Mail on Android, which does this out of necessity.

Not to mention that the employment graph doesn't support their conclusions at all. To say that a small negative slope at the end of your dataset suggests an upcoming negative trend is classic bad statistics.

Hey, author here! Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the article.

Personally I'm on the fence regarding using Terraform over CloudFormation. I prefer CloudFormation since I use AWS exclusively. I think Terraform makes sense when you interact with multiple CloudProviders. However I do also find writing terraform thing nicer than CloudFormation. I find managing the .tfstate file tricky (but they have a service for that now) as well.
Well just making sure people are finding what they want is only part of it.

Since so much of their revenue is from ads, the better their targeting, the more money they make. If they have all this data on a person, they can target on a per person basis. And that money is probably talking louder than any care about liability from data based on how much they're collecting. They're a business, they have to have revenue in some way.

I'm making some assumptions, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I am glad you made this point; I forgot to.
Most of the software on market is basically data collecting apps (be it manual or automatic data entry). What you get out of those apps is just another piece of (already abundant) information. You might get good insights out of it, but most farms are seriously understaffed and there might not be enough time left for doing another data entry job or analysing it.
Chess is more addictive than Clash of Clans. Download the chess.com app and I promise you will spend hours trying to get just a few more points. Ok, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but if you're writing this piece in the age of convenience you've gotta ask yourself what you would've done instead with that time. Would you work? If the answer is yes, I call bullshit. Humans can only work high level jobs for about 4 hours with roughly logarithmic declines in performance every hour thereafter. So that means you need to fill your time with something. Whether it's clash of clans or some other useless hobby, it most likely will be just as addictive. Oh, and learning new things counts as work.
If a terrorist is on U.S. soil, we have to give them a criminal trial. So here, we're talking about giving criminal process to terrorists located abroad. That runs into problems at every step:

1) Warrants. In general, you need to go to a magistrate judge in the district where property or a person may be found in order to get a warrant. There is a "terrorism exception" which allows a magistrate judge to issue warrants for people or things outside their district. In my opinion that's a bad exception. The venue requirement has the important benefit of requiring local cooperation for an investigation that's probably run out of D.C. The "terrorism exception" to venue gets rid of that. And giving process to foreign terrorists would entail expanding that exception so judges in D.C. would routinely be asked to issue warrants for people and places totally outside their jurisdiction in foreign countries.

2) 4th Amendment. The 4th amendment inherently requires a balancing between the legitimate needs of policing and the rights of individuals. Giving foreign terrorists due process will require extending the 4th amendment to them, but also in the process adding new holes necessitated by doing police work in a foreign country. It's not inconceivable that some "exigent circumstances" hole originally created for terrorists embedded within armed groups abroad gets applied to domestic criminals embedded within organized gangs.

3) Due process rights generally. It's very likely that the due process rules will be relaxed when applied to foreign terrorists, out of exigency if nothing else. Due process is a luxury the government can afford domestically because it has a near-complete monopoly on violence on U.S. soil. Do you stop and read someone their Miranda rights while in the mountains of Pakistan? When foreign terrorism is considered a military rather than civilian matter, there is in effect a "firewall" that keeps domestic due process rights from being watered down. Remove that firewall, and you'll see precedents from terrorism cases flowing back into organized crime cases on U.S. soil.[1] That sort of diffusion is inevitable in a common law system.

4) Trials in abstentia. The right to face one's accuser is fundamental to due process. So what do you do with a foreign terrorist that you can't capture alive? It will never be acceptable to people to just let them go. If you require criminal process for those people, you'll inevitably end up with some kangaroo-court trial in abstentia. And you'll end up with precedent that says: "well, sometimes, facing your accusers isn't required by due process."

[1] You already see this effect in U.S. law, where laws like RICO designed for mobsters or precedents developed for the drug war are being levied against non-violent criminals.

Code smell is a little ill-defined. Given two experienced enough engineers they'll smell different things based on what experiences have led them to that point. The general rough guidelines is I guess "things should be as simple as possible but not simpler" and depending on what sets of requirements you've optimized for it might not smell right to someone who values a different set of requirements.

From the article:

"Two days earlier, at 11.30pm on December 26, Murdock was arrested after drunkenly banging on a neighbor's front door with such force it was as if he were trying to break inside. He reportedly fought with cops when they showed up, and was ticketed for resisting arrest and assaulting an officer. He was taken to hospital after banging his head on the inside of the police car he was being held in.

Just a few hours later, at 2.40am on December 27, Murdock left the hospital and went back to the neighbor's home to bang on the door again."

I assumed the police beating was administered as he was drunk and resisting arrest.
People in such a binge/breakdown mental illness episode absolutely do misperceive interactions with others, imagining persecution when there is none. Or, blame their own self-harm on others. Or, continue raging against both people and objects in ways that endanger themself and others until nasty amounts of force are applied.

You have to trust the reactions of the friends/family who have witnessed decades of a person's behavior – if they're not concerned about injustice, it is unlikely strangers on distant discussion boards have more insight into what the deceased faced.

You're right, I meant "contributors". It is not only a question of money: these companies can dedicate people to lead the standardization tasks and push their own interests. That's mostly visible at MPEG with patents (yet another hot subject).

Here's the paper - https://www.cs.jhu.edu/~cwright/oakland08.pdf

This is a variant of "should you compress or encrypt first?"

Compression relies on pattern matching, and compressed size will leak details about what you compressed, even if that result is encrypted. (Unless you then pad the encrypted size, but then what was the point of compressing? I can see some more or less secure ways to do this like establishing a compression ratio/bandwidth/entropy limit, then padding and achieving that constraint so each encrypted payload looks more or less the same, but latency sensitivity makes this difficult)

In the case of VOIP, the codec uses a lookup table for distinct parts of speech (tch, sp, buh, etc). Then "all it has to send" is table cell numbers around (certainly not all). On the receiving side, you just look in your speech table and reconstruct.

These values have distinct output patterns, particularly when compressed. If you can guess better than 70% of the time (I forget the exact number they achieved) what table value was used, then reconstruct it, you can listen in on what they're saying, without having to break the underlying encryption.

Voice codecs are also awful at encoding music which may explain why when you're on hold, the hold music may just be dropped and replaced with white noise because it's reached some bandwidth cap. C.f. video encoding and falling snow.
