I suppose. But I'd say take it further and capitalize on advancements in VM technology so as to make it indistinguishable in performance from an attached workstation.
nuts? I'm paying $700/month for a family through an employer plan. The cost of the worse plan on Obamacare is about $1500 (oh, and before obamacare that plan would cost the same $1500 and come with pre-existing conditions crap).

Medicare for all, $120/month/person - problem solved.
thanks for the feedback :) will consider this
"Facebook already exerts total control over what its users see."

That bothers me a little. I have a page and Facebook somehow decides who and when a post is shown to a user who liked the page. It seems that Facebook shows it to a small group of people over an hours time or so and then depending on whatever metrics and interactions are made to a wider group or not.

I don't know if it is good or bad because some posts that do very well on Reddit and Hacker News do very poorly on Facebook while posts that do very well on Facebook can do very bad on Reddit and Hacker News.
Facebook doesn't show people things Facebook thinks they'd want to see. Facebook shows people things that Facebook thinks will get them to spend more time on Facebook. There's a very important distinction between the two.
Fingerprints don't link you to supposed-crimes-that-everyone-has-done.

No, but they might link you to real crimes that you didn't actually commit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Mayfield

Having a huge database encourages this kind of sweeping searches, wherein false positives become very likely.
Good luck illustrating this.

Oh wait, why bother in a democracy! People KNOW it's true already.
> It turns out that id gets this information from the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.

$ strace -e open id 1000
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

Well, by default yes. But if your system is configured to use NIS/YP or LDAP (through NSS/Name Service Switch), then these files won't have all the information (though they'll likely have a few, it's important to have local fallbacks in case of network issues!)

A more generic tool is 'getent', which will query all the underlying databases for you. For example: "getent passwd" or "getent group".

Nevertheless, using strace to get a first approximation is an excellent exercise :)
Rants about degeneracy get bigger audiences I guess.
Wow it blows my mind. Both that a switch might have issues forwarding packets with a perfectly valid MAC, and that there are so many MAC squatters out there that the IEEE felt this was a good strategy. I guess its going to get harder to use MACs like CA:FE:00:C0:FF:EE to easily spot your packets coming from your home grown FPGA ethernet MAC implementation :-)
I'm definitively putting more effort in this, thanks
That is the crux of the issue. I think the interesting thing about this benchmark is the degree to which different GCs assume the weak generational hypothesis to be true. For example, the Haskell/GHC GC seems to very much assume it, with its STW copying collector for all generations. On the other hand you have languages like Ocaml and Go which still have a lot of pointer chasing to do in the old generation, but have optimisations (concurrent/incremental GC) which prevent the pauses getting too long in the case that the hypothesis is broken.

It's interesting to hear about the Python results. Ref counting makes absolute sense in this case!

Facebook is not even addressing the most blatant, obvious fake news.

In fact, they do the opposite: they promote it to millions of people. Or more accurately, they permit their software to do so. And they claim they have no responsibility, even though they built the entire thing.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I think I just assumed he fired that off rather quickly... I should have double checked the dates.
I think the distinction between manager and developer is an important one. Expecting a developer to become a high functioning manager is equally unrealistic to expect a technically minded manager to be able to make meaningful contributions to the code base.

I also fully agree that management is a discipline that is overlooked; often oddly by managers themselves. I attribute this phenomenon to my observation that many managers in startups growing into the role rather than coming from a formal MBA type background. I would go one step further and say that a manager doesn't necessarily have to be a leader either, with leadership being another unique discipline.

A lot of comments here cover similar ground by using similar titles for different roles, which is understandable as different organisations have different needs and may assign a title that is not the most appropriate.

The author basically makes the same argument by admitting that different scenarios require different skill sets such as mediation, architecture, advocation, etc. However, the author takes a idealistic view that admits ideally any competent team member should be able to step up to the role when required.

In my experience though, in an organisation that requires structure, predictability, and on a compensation level as well, dedicated titles are important. It becomes even more important depending on the broader organisation and national culture. For teams that come from countries with high power distance, the difference in having opinions come from a "team leader" versus a co-worker can be received quite differently.

Therefore, I think the article has been able to create such an active discussion is because of the circumstantial nature of an appropriate answer. Coincidentally such discussions are often a trigger for teams to wish that there were a leader who can make a decision and for others to fall in line so that everyone can get on with actual work.
> Every time a program (ex: compiler) tries to guess what its user (ex: developer) meant,

That's one approach to fixing errors, but there's another: tell the programmer that there's an error, and let them decide the best way to fix it. As you say, unsupervised "DWIM" is problematic, and so is a computer program that trusts its inputs absolutely.

> And maybe it is, but it's not a compiler's business.

What exactly isn't a compiler's business? Helping the programmer write a program that solves their problem? I would say that that is 100% of the compiler's job. It might be that part of the problem is "absolute performance", but that is almost always a secondary concern to correctness... computing the wrong answer (or pwning the user's data) is suboptimal, no matter how fast it happens. C defaults to exploiting everything for performance, rather than defaulting to correctness while also providing opt-in ("dangerous") tools for performance that one can use when necessary.

You have the cause and effect swapped for social behavior. There was something a little bit "off" about my kid socially, making him an obvious bully magnet, so he got homeschooled. There was a noticeable latency for picking up social cues, if he would at all. Putting him in regular school would be throwing him to the lions.

Evolution is another reason he is homeschooled, but for the opposite reason that you imagine. Most public school teachers brush past evolution as fast as possible or totally skip it. Some teachers even dare to deny evolution. Both liberal and conservative teachers get uncomfortable with the implications of human evolution, for different reasons, and hardly any teacher wants to bother with a fight over a subject they can just ignore.

Book quality varies. You can get Campbell Biology as I did, or you can go to a homeschool supply place and get some creationist nonsense. Both extremes are available.

I could do without teachers pushing their personal political views. I have my own, thank you very much.

It really varies from crossing to crossing.

In Canada most of the major international airports have US border crossings inside the airport inside Canadian territory. In my experience those are strangely the most hostile and confrontational to Canadians. I've found land border guards, and guards inside US airports themselves to be friendlier. I don't know why, but it seems others have this experience too.

In any case given the change of political tide in the US I will no longer be traveling there for pleasure. Only for work.
Sorry, can someone do a ELI5?

What does it mean to be React-like? Is it a drop-in replacement? Are React components compatible? Or it just looks like React (it does)?

I'm going absolutely crazy trying to keep up-to-date with all frameworks coming out nowadays.

Yesterday it was Svelte, today it's Inferno.

What's good about using this instead of React? 3k of parsing instead of 40k is a huge improvement, but can we still using stuff that was made for React?

I'm lost.

Haven't watched through the entire video, but the first part, analyzing dependency bottom up, and claiming version doesn't work, really reminds me of graphql. We've been doing traditional rest with /v1/..., /v2/.... This sucks for so many different ways. Graphql's solution of providing contract at the lowest level and just evolve the "graph" really feels a bit like what he was talking about in this video. And note that Facebook by not "provide less" or "require more" in their API is how they made their API still compatible with older clients. This talk is very interesting! (note I could be spewing BS here as I've not finished the video)
Once you are denied entry in to Canada (or the us) be prepared to answer questions about it for the rest of your life every time you cross the border.

If a border agent threatened me with jail, I don't think that being unable to return would be a problem for me. :-)

I don't notice that many people making 15/25k a month that think their jobs are cushy. There are usually high expectations at that level.
Python is capable, via the ctypes module.

The problems include:

- performance: implementations being interpreted, and relying on dynamic typing mean that Python is almost always slower than compiled languages.

- the run-time: Python assumes that things like allocations are always OK, and generally requires more operating system support than is available in low level environments.
Q: do customs agents (in either USA or Canada) have the right to ask for social network passwords, even if you don't cross with a device? e.g. Facebook? Gmail? what about Dropbox? I suppose you could try "I don't have an account on that" but what if they know you do?
Python has a much more complicated runtime system which assumes a lot of things that wouldn't be true for a driver. It could probably be adapted to work, but it's a square-peg/round-hole situation.

By comparison, C's runtime is very simple and assumes very little, so it's good for writing code in a kernel or integrated system where many OS services won't be available to you. It's also much faster, of course, and it gives more direct access to memory.
