Clearly? I would disagree.

Maybe the website should tell that this is a synthetic dataset, it is not clear from it.
The term "zero-cost abstraction" is a bit annoying. By definition an abstraction has an obfuscation and compilation cost even if it doesn't add to the runtime cost. Too much of these and the program is not understandable anymore and takes hours to compile.

Consumer Reports retesting MacBook Pro battery life this week
FWIW there are third-party libraries which include that feature e.g. error_chain has a `quick_main` macro (working with its `error_chain!`-generated error, but I'm not sure it actually depends on it):

quick_main!(|| -> Result<()> {
// insert Result-returning code here
});

Alternatively it takes a few lines to bootstrap it by hand e.g. ripgrep uses this code to bootstrap:

fn main() {
match Args::parse().map(Arc::new).and_then(run) {
Ok(0) => process::exit(1),
Ok(_) => process::exit(0),
Err(err) => {
eprintln!("{}", err);
process::exit(1);
}
}
}

https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Palantir-Technologies-Revi...

Wow yeah. These Glassdoor reviews look terrible.

"Cons
Very immature staff, no work life balance if you're a bit older than a recent college grad."

"The company also suffers from systemic poor leadership, which creates a political, distrusting environment that said leadership refuses to believe exists. This isn't necessarily a dealbreaker though, just something to be aware of. I ranked culture & values low, because while Palantir has a great cultural manifesto, it's almost 100% not reflective of conditions inside the company."

"Cons
- Low pay + illiquid equity = Don't plan to stay here if want fair wage at silicon valley
- Expectation for work-life imbalance
- Great place if you are a fresh grad, not so if you are progressing in your career"

Looks like they're another company that thrives off of soul-sucking fresh college grads. Disgusting.
So, I'm a librarian. Our library uses what's called the CREW method [1]. It does a good job explaining the reasons for weeding and the parameters.

It's important to mention that a well maintained collection gets used more than one that is not reviewed. The "younger" the average age of your collection, the more it gets used. This isn't just because people don't like old books, but they don't like books that are yellowing, grey, worn, irrelevant, etc, etc. I recognize that libraries have many roles to play, but it is not the place of every library to play every role. A community public library should check out books, not store them. (There's obviously exceptions here. For example, my library maintains a local history collection).

Ultimately, for a public library there is much more going on than books. Wireless Internet, meeting rooms and simply its characteristic as a physical place (chairs, tables, etc.) are all part of why people support a library and having a new, clean and well maintained collection is part of increasing the library's appeal across all those areas.

Any machine connected to the Internet should start with a configuration equivalent to:

ufw default deny incoming
ufw allow ssh

And then start punching very specific holes as needed.

So to recap:

* You're building a landing-page, with HTML + CSS.
* But you also need to run PHP.
* I think you already have a server running MySQL.

If you trust the company providing you with the MySQL-server then use them to add a second machine if you're worried. If you're not sure how much load to expect, but are pessimistic, then just use the server you already have.

Really you can't guess how much traffic you'll get, but chances are high it will be slow to scale up. So the important thing is that you monitor resources and can re-deploy on a bigger host in a hurry if you need to - moving your code, your database(s), and updating DNS promptly.
That was the same conclusion that I reached, it's easy to prescribe justice and solutions from a vacuum protected by law enforcement, but in that actual situation I don't think I could've taken different actions from him.

Great! I've seen the U.S. Census Bureau's American Communities Survey, which has extremely fine grained data, but with a few gaps for, e.g., religion, Internet access, etc. Do you know of anything else as granular as ACS?

This, again, is really really interesting. When it comes to the fine-grained U.S. data, we may be approaching if-you-dont-build-it-I-will territory. :)
It doesn't, really. It's just that these companies tend to draw more modest valuations, generating a more subdued kind of excitement. Forbes just wrote about how VCs should invest more in B2C startups [1]. A different piece from CB Insights last year [2] argues the same point. There are some VCs who specialize in B2C stuff, Maveron [3] being notable on the West Coast. Mostly, though, this capital does not concentrate in a small area like SV.

The buyer can not know for sure if the seller is consenting to sex; logically, it is always possible the seller is coerced into the transaction by poverty, threats, drugs, etc. Because sex isn't a human necessity, and involves the act of physically using a person (if they are not able to consent -- the term masturbation is more accurate), we can say the act of choosing to buy is highly immoral. The same argument works for buying/supporting porn too.

Those who recognize the strength of the above argument usually support forms of the Nordic model of anti-prostitution law.

I don't agree. You can't browse an ebook the same way you can a physical book, and while I very much appreciate Amazon's 'you might also like...' suggestions, I only rate thema round a C+/B- grade. The great value of libraries and bookstores is discoverability as opposed to perfect organization (although that's also very valuable). I can think of quite a few books that I might not have encountered if some librarian or buyer hadn't bucked the prevailing taste; conversely on the rare occasions when I go into a big bookstore now I feel really alienated by the shallowness of the selection and the general lack of awareness among the bookstore staff about, well, anything.

I never encountered this attitude of 'books as product' until I came to the US. I remember going into a Borders and looking for some Dashiell Hammett books - I had been in San Francisco a few months, and Dashiell Hammett was a very famous mystery writer who came from and wrote about SF in the 1930s, so I wanted to learn more about the literary culture of the city I had moved to. the people in the store had never heard of him, didn't understand why interest in local authors would be a thing, and couldn't recommend any other bookstores because they were not really Book People, they just happened to work in a store that sold books but whose corporate culture required staff to refer to them as 'product'. This would be like going to a store that specialized in Computer Science books and having to deal with people who had never heard the names Turing, Von Neumann, or Knuth. Capitalism can be very corrosive of culture that way, Absent a reliable metric for quality, it can only rate popularity and novelty and so discounts long-term relations at the expense of short-term returns.

Amazon recommendations are often semantically on point but it will often recommend books that are merely derivative. 'Frequently bought together' is a great reminder to get some batteries or accessories for some electronic gizmo you bought, but that doesn't work so well for books, where reading one might alter your subsequent buying preferences onto a new path because you read the book and it changed your perspective in some fashion.

Admittedly a lot of my reading tends towards the obscure, so I can't blame Amazon for doing what they do if it works for the vast majority of their consumers. It's great when I want something very specific and I'm a happy regular customer, but I could happily spend hours in a second hand bookstore.
To clarify, I was specifically looking forward to the first production Rust web framework based on futures. I'd like to write web applications in Rust, to integrate with many other libraries and parts of the ecosystem, and I look forward to doing so via a futures-based framework that integrates well with other futures-based Rust code.
It's not just that, it has to do with the way noise cancellation circuits work. They work great on constant white-noise-like hums within a certain frequency band; they don't work on transients that cross a wide range of frequencies (as does human voice). They especially don't work well at higher frequencies because of the shorter wavelengths and the distance between the drivers and your eardrums (which can vary), and human voice has a lot of higher-frequency components. If you could stick the drivers right next to your eardrums with custom-fitted in-ear plugs, you could get far better performance, but that's neither economical nor desirable to most people for comfort reasons.

10 Ideas Worth Sharing This Week
(1) This language has been invented long ago; its name is Haskell. Eta is a JVM backend / target for it.

(2) A good general-purpose language is good at creating pseudo-DSLs, also known as abstractions or APIs. This can include customized syntax, but usually it's not a brilliant idea. DSLs using the common syntax are quite prevalent in Lisp / Scheme / Clojure, or in Ruby. Haskell is reasonably good at creating DSLs, much better than e.g. Java.

These already exist where I live (CA), there are line items for things like city-wide storm sewer, improvements to local parks, levies for specific work.

It's managed by the city, so I'm not sure if it hits the general fund, but it is a tax specifically for those things.
But why bother though? If somehow that network defense comes down because of maintenance or whatnot, you have just tainted your most precious asset out of wanting to save a couple of minutes for securing the connection.
As someone who recently bought a house, yes. We lost two houses to people who were bidding cash, even though they bid at a slightly lower price (cash closes fast). One was Chinese and the other was Russian. It makes the local tech workers paying with loans try to top the foreign bidders. But by the next sale the foreign buyers are bidding even more because they are sitting on piles of cash and can afford to do so. It's a real effect that every single person in the real estate industry we interacted with commented on.

Also, you're giving yourself away as an outsider because VC-backed firms significantly underpay compared with the profitable tech giants.
Well if you take people's autonomy away they're going to find other routes to the same objective. Librarians aren't shelf-stocking robots, but the law as written devalues their professional contribution in favor of a foolish consistency.
Bad AI often winds up panned in a game's review scores, which have an impact on sales.

For instance, bad pathfinding in an RTS game can make the game almost unplayable. Halo is just about legendary at this point for teammate AI that is worse than worthless [1]. Any one of these things can destroy immersion at a critical point.

AI is to video games as IT is to a modern enterprise. If it's doing its job, nobody notices, but if it's bad, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

> A community public library should check out books, not store them. There's obviously exceptions here. For example, my library maintains a local history collection.

I could certainly see the value of each community library having some space allocated to different "specialty" sections. That would make for a pretty rich loan inventory.
> okay but this is not 'I've got an SLR with a prime lens in my pocket wherever I go.'

You missed the important part of that quote: it takes makes me feel like ...meaning it was a subjective statement.
Optimization of all libraries is a losing battle. Better have lots of well used libraries, which then have budgets for larger collections and more collaboration. Part of a well used library is community support and a collection that serves the communities needs. This leads to bigger budgets, and so on.

A public library is there to serve its community. Participating in ILL is part of that mission, so reciprocating is also necessary. But the library has to optimize for its customers first and others second.

I get back on once in awhile just to see if people are going back. I'm wondering if any network is growing besides Freenet. Freenet is cool, and I get on for work once in awhile. But I really miss when Undernet and Dalnet where massive, with all sorts of stuff happening. Maybe I'm just out of touch with what the active networks are.
I'm not sure about that. A lot of what I've read about sounds like they were chasing Netflix with a lot of cash but no idea how to compete.

The article mentions that big cos are using BitTorrent for cluster upgrades. There's a lot of cash in enterprise networking. BitTorrent is basically a large blob multicast protocol.

BitTorrent Sync was a decent product too. What would have happened had they put $30 mil behind a push to take sync from Dropbox and Box instead of sidelining it? Seems like they spun out the best contender they had. It'd be funny if the spinoff succeeds.

1. So it's a language optimized for the kind of programmers who go to conferences, nothing wrong with that.

Well, you have a sysadmin, that's the point. Developers aren't sysadmin. Should they have a deep knowledge of network security? you bet they should.

Now I'm sorry, but MongoDB inc IS at fault as well, for not forcing developers to create credentials upon installation from the beginning. Any vendor that doesn't do that with its product isn't serious about security. Let's take Wordpress, imagine it didn't force its users to create an admin account upon deployment, everybody would be mad about it. But somehow MongoDB got a pass all this years? bullshit.

I hope this hack will permanently damage MongoDB brand.
The modern consensus is that it should ask you what class of network you're connected to and configure it accordingly, as more permissive rules are better for home networks and the opposite for public networks.

But also, if Ubuntu didn't run network services by default, there would be no need to secure them with iptables. So defaults affect defaults.
Unless you think the GP is causing these types of problems, this attitude is entirely unwarranted. Investors buying on a down market soften crashes by providing an infusion of capital when the market indicates it's needed.

If real estate investors took the moral stand you seem to be suggesting here, who exactly would be buying a home from a distressed homeowner? What money would be floating around to cover short sales and prevent foreclosures?

Many noodles used in ramen are simply made of wheat, which is a simple carbohydrate. Beans/legumes are a good source of protein (among other things).

If you use real yakisoba noodles that are made from buckwheat flour, it has the advantage of decent fiber and protein (a complete protein, like soy), but not as many vitamins as beans.

> They both use docker for isolation

Docker isn't really meant as a security mechanism. Among other things, you still expose the full kernel API as an attack surface. I can't imagine that they only use Docker, at the very least they'll probably have some dedicated machines for the playgrounds. Even then, this is probably not a great idea.

The playground uses NaCl (and AFAIK that includes seccomp), restricting both the instructions that you can use and the set of system calls that you can make (basically just read/write on fds 0-3 and exit). It's what chromes sandbox is based upon.

There are a couple of implications from this (most are described in the blog post linked elsewhere), e.g. that time is faked and that playground-code runs single-threaded. A great consequence, though, is that playground code is 100% deterministic, meaning it can be cached (and it is cached pretty aggressively), reducing the load for popular snippets.

They're not magical, but there's literally nowhere to safely save liquid cash these days.

I have a 6% Capital One 360 CD that matured last year. My credit union is offering 2.75% auto loans on 2014 model year cars up to 72 months.

Clearly, money is too cheap when you're getting super low rates on terrible loan products.
AT&T is fundamentally infrastructure, not just service. JetBlue while yes it is service, is also closer to infrastructure than it is concierge.

I distinguish services vs infrastructure based on if they are fundamental needs, not how they are provided. So water treatment is technically a service, but it's a fundamental piece of life so it's infrastructure.

I agree although I also don't know what "substance" is. If they're contributing to the monetary value of goods and services being sold to an end user, they're contributing to GDP. If they're not, they're not.

Other than that--or by explicitly considering only manufactured goods for example--you're effectively making value judgements about what products and services contribute to society and which don't. You could equally as well argue (though I wouldn't) that the 50th new rebranded and repackaged laundry powder doesn't contribute either.
I don't know how this fits in with your "bottom line" concept, but the purpose of a business is to create some amount of value for its customers _and_ retain some amount of that value for the business owners.

As a big positive, we have seen large strides taken in SV on the former part the past 10 years. Creating value for your users / customers is standard advice pounded into entrepreneurs by YC and everyone else these days. This is great.

The problem is the latter half, capturing some of that value. Some of it is structural; many industries do not lend themselves well to wild profitability. Other is cultural; startups like building White House replicas in the lobby of their expensive new building.

We have seen many companies that create a great amount of value, and can even retain some of it, but unfortunately not enough to meet investors' expectations. Twitter, for example. Medium, for another more recent case, would be a great small business, but can never live up to a $100M+ investment. They definitely create value, it's just questionable exactly how much, and it will be very difficult for them to retain a worthwhile portion of it.
