I have always thought this is how mocks really should work - basically a two way stub.

Mocks are usually (inevitably?) a per-test structure which makes them outrageously fragile and tempting to over mock to get a passing test

I prefer building something that acts like the mocked thing (ie a database) but does So both ends (it looks like a database to the web service and a web service to the database. Then the stub is my contract

It's awkward
If the aim was for it to be experimental, why create a "live" monetary system? Why not keep it testnet-only, untradeable?
It strikes me that a native compiler, accessible at runtime, would fit the definition of "software development tool", so either the entire program, or the portion contains the compiler, would be deleted.

Another challenging aspect is that just about every command shell can execute a scripting language, so they'd be included too. I mean, it's just a repl with easy access to the filesystem, right?
Nope, "in the loop" is just me mangling a slang phrase I personally use -- "Keep me in the loop" -- which means "keep me informed in a real time manner". It's not the first odd phrase I've put together, as my girlfriend likes to remind me: "I don't words well".

I did the same. When I was in my 30s my hands were cramping while I was typing so I learned dvorak and then built up the skill to switch between them easily. Now it's dvorak at home and qwerty at work, and no cramping since. That was 20 years ago or so.
In your plan, how far do the prosecutions go? Is every last coder to be prosecuted for their crimes? In 60 years will we still be putting former NSA analysts on trial for treason like the Nazis (since treason, like murder, has no statute of limitations)? I'm legitimately asking.

AdSense is a giant hypocrisy, they tell you you can't have ads in the first part of the screen on mobile, but you look at Google search results and they so exactly that.

Then, there is a set of guidelines you have to comply, which is great, except it says this "Pages generated to funnel visitors into the actual usable or relevant portion of your site" and also says you can't copy content from other sites, they are basically describing Google search page.

They obviously provide a good service with Google search, that's out of discussion.

Similar problem, a family member lost their gmail account and none of the standard ways work to get it back.

As proof I would welcome Google employees to study the past mail of other family member mail headers including mine to give them absolute proof of whose account it is.

It's been going on. The OEM's just aren't buying or cloning any of it outside a few. Many of those that do are going out of business because customers vote against security with their wallet. Even when the cost isn't much more. Outside of pure defense contractors, one of only ones making it is Genua selling OpenBSD-based solutions in Layer 2 and 3. Assuming they're still OpenBSD-based.

"Looking forward to hearing more about their OS."

I agree with this and your view on the need to develop more bare-bones, clean-slate solutions for these kinds of services. If we're lucky, Kaspersky's will both be more secure than Linux-based products and have convenient, affordable licensing than forerunners to get major adoption. However, as you probably know from high-assurance, a company with no history of making a system secure against strong attackers will probably fail to do so with its products. That's my default anyway. So, I also look forward to the details to compare and contrast against competing solutions in medium- and high-assurance spaces.
There are many different causes of RSI.

Mine was from my mouse. Two year into my career, my RSI was so debilitating that I was worried I had to stop programming.

I changed mice, changed how I held my mouse, and 20+ year later have never had a flare up. I now use a regular mouse, and just pivot my wrist when I use it, and haven't had a problem since then.

It's not so much the key travel as the overall 'feel' relative to how your muscles learned to type. Everyone's different and react differently to different keyboards. What's most likely the issue is the not-conscious feedback loop that tells your fingers when to stop pressing. With some keys you type lightly, other types of keyswitches lead you to mash the keys with a high force until you're bottoming out on the pcb. It's that impact that generates high forces.

Honestly, a good chunk of the team, including creatives who are more visually inclined, hate Trello. I personally like it for some things, but it lacks the ability to do more complex project management and have it roll up into a much more simplified "executive level" view. You basically have to create a new board for that and update it separately. Blech.

1) If you cut ties with entrepreneur A cuz you think his company is zombie, his business then folds and he goes on to next thing and doesn't invite you to invest in his new company.

3) i.e. it's like high school. You want to always be in the right crowd invited to the right parties. And if you stop associating with a certain group of people, you better be sure those are not the future kings.

I truly think that if this thinking prevails, then liberalism in the US is doomed.

Sorry to become preaching here, but for the love of science, stop caring about race, gender snd ethnicity so much, instead care about class. There are at least as many white folks with no means to get ahead than black folks - and we haven't yet considered the other major ethnic groups. What you should care about is the 'glass ceiling' installed for a whole class of people who cannot offer their sons and daughters the chance to move up anymore. Liberals need to get back to tackling issues, not identities, that make the American nation such a divided one. And the obvious one to me is education. Forget about affirmative action, make high quality education accessible for any capable resident. Having less in-group vs. out-group thinking will follow automatically when people start thinking that everyone gets a fair chance again.

Bannon was Trump's adviser during his campaign and even before that, Trump's statements were consistent with Bannon's and Breitbart's. Whether those statements were racist is a debate that's been held a thousand times and is not worth rehashing.
Yeah, privacy concerns are what will decide a lot of this. I'm very torn because as an end-user I definitely have gotten more nervous with the current state of tracking, but as an advertiser, these are arguably the toughest problems in the industry and what keep me up at night.

Have you found any good off-the-shelf tools to help with the incremental lift analysis that might be better suited for advertisers who are not as massive? Our current plan is to get DCM in place, pipe everything we can through there, and then let our Data Science team go nuts at trying to model it. Seems like that's our best bet since tools like Adometry or other dedicated attributions platforms don't make sense for us yet.

Taking the plot device entirely literally misses the point of the book somewhat; it's so highly metaphorical and so much of it is told through the "VR" dream sequence exposition.

It's really a book about the question: how do we know what we know? Specifically, how do we find truth when powerful forces have devoted themselves to obfuscating it for us? In other words, the "cultural revolution" in China. And by extension, the present day wǔmáo dǎng era.
Note that it's not quite "kebab case". The dash only separates the initial verb from the object, but the rest of it is regular PascalCase. So Get-ChildItem, not Get-Child-Item.

PascalCase is well-established in the Microsoft developer ecosystem. It goes at least all the way back to Win16 and Windows 1.0 (it using the Pascal calling convention might have something to do with it, perhaps).

More importantly, it is used uniformly in .NET, and PowerShell builds on top of .NET, and deals with .NET objects directly, which have properties like e.g. `FullName`. So it makes sense for consistency.
I'll take a stab at it.

One of America's many excellent traits is that it is a huge melting pot of diverse cultures and races, that all get along and individually work toward achieving the American Dream. This is the driving force that brings us as Americans together, a strong work ethic and a belief that everyone has the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. However, forced intersectionality is when policies force businesses and the government to diversify their workforce, and unforced is referring to this diversification happening naturally, without the intervention of regulations and explicit calls for diversification.

I'd love to know if Priceonomics tested the idea for this "Idea Tester" product of theirs before launching it?

This type of "customer research" trickery is not new. And I realize clickbait/fakebait is big busine$$ and many companies just don't have qualms about it or care how much online readers despise it.

I'm surprised Priceonomics decided this was a good idea to pursue and launch like this #1 This type of idea testing can't reliably offer meaningful insights to be useful and sometimes is so incorrect it is harmful.

#2 Many of Priceonomics potential customers have the integrity not to use these methods. Worse, there are potential customers (especially bigger corporate customers who have headline risk) who won't look at any other services offered nor want to be associated with a firm if this is part of what they do.

#3 The timing to publicly launch a product associated with clickbait or fake news could not have been worse!...With the extra negative attention this is getting and FB and Googi finally changing their policies toward it.

There are methods for legitimate ideas testing and huge demand for these services, why not offer that?
Wow, this does seem intense. Did you work through the weekend? Did your performance at your day job suffer? How did you manage to keep focused during the late night/ early morning hours?
Because the bureaucracy makes implementing such measures unreasonably difficult. Implementing any kind of new system, even one related to security takes months, even in a simple case and it might takes years for the system to be fully realized. I've worked in federal contracting and have seem stuff like this happen. The whole process is glacial.

I agree with the article, mostly, but this:

>If you overload people with preachy, preening nonsense on a daily basis, you thus overload their cognitive faculties, and they are going to ignore you.

is overly dismissive. You haven't overloaded anybody's "cognitive faculties" when you feed them them transparent nonsense. Their cognitive faculties are working quite well, despite your efforts. They're not ignoring you because they're confused; they're ignoring you because you don't have any credibility, and credibility is the coin of any news organization.

Australian farmers and graziers own 135,997 farms, covering 61% of Australia's landmass.[1]

We are able to export more than half of our agricultural produce, while more than 90 per cent of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, milk and eggs sold in supermarkets are domestically produced.[2]

There's certainly a valid argument for, "smells like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck.... maybe it's a duck, ok?"

It's super clear that we're on the cusp of a total informational transformation in the West in terms of how life is lived, and a consequence is that there are deluges of personal data.... and a lawful, diligent and trustworthy law enforcement or spy officer will want to use that to do their jobs better. Unlike many in the tech world, I don't buy into either left or right anarchism: I think the office of the State is a valid one.

So we have to start looking to the future and how to properly safeguard rights in the Information Age.
Firstly, the government's systems are wide open, and are hacked/breached all the time. They just cover it up so no one knows. This is mainly as a result of fear of competence and a deference to the lowest bidder (out of habit, stupidity, or legal mandate). That is, the lowest bidder usually builds crap, half-assed products, and there's a lot of that floating around in the almighty Gov't.

Secondly: hey idiot CIA director, did you not notice what was revealed by Snowden's leaks? Isn't there some law or unspoken rule about sitting idly by while the system becomes more corrupted? If it had been accidentally revealed this mass surveillance was happening and the media grabbed onto it, then wouldn't anyone near it occurring, whether innocent or not, be left ass out to take the blame? Wouldn't the idiots at large be saying something like, "and you knew, and sat by doing nothing; you're just as guilty."
how much time you put in to it really doesn't matter.
