Interesting. Why announce the total number if a lot of them may just find another project inside Microsoft? Shouldn't they wait the 60 days to see how many are actually getting laid off? Or do most people not find another project?

There's plenty of problems with Python 3 and the transition, none of them are that "Python 3 sucks".

You know that, of course, otherwise you'd have provided an actual claim rather than a generic complaint.

There is no actual accountability, so why should they care if what they do is illegal. They are the law, and they make shit up as they go
Meditation and exercise. Sometimes the best thing for you is to focus on other aspects of life. Mediation allows you to deeply examine yourself and helps you think more critically about your life. Exercise improves both physical and mental health.
An electric company doesn't have to invent a new plant design or even build an entirely new plant to have reserves but with antibiotics you do. Building reserve antibiotics isn't simple and even holding back a known antibiotic doesn't guarantee it'll work when you need it. We kind of already do that with carbapenems which are supposed the be the antibiotic of last resort.

Sheer nonsense. This assumes that all surgeries are a result of poor preventative care which is trivially false.

Why does it seem like the folks criticizing the profit motive of pharmaceutical companies see no such perverse motive in those selling holistic treatments? I don't suppose that "alternative way of dealing with infections" happens to involve spending money regularly on herbs and acupuncture...
Why is go so late to the party on this? Other languages do not seem to have these kinds of problems.

The more I experience go, the more I feel like the core team existed in a bubble away from the past 25 years of advancement in programming languages. They're stuck solving the problems they had with C, without the benefit of learning from or improving on any other modern languages or toolsets.
The number one reason we stay with Oracle was that once, years ago, we had a come to Jesus moment when the database shat itself and the backups wre not working as they should have been. After a terrifying ride, some combination of Oracle support, a ton of googling and some smart in-house work repaired the damaged data and got things up and running again, literally saving the company.

Would postgres have been recoverable in that situation, that one, critical time? (its fruitless to conjecture whether postgres would have been in that situation in the first place).

I genuinely don't know. But based on experience I do feel a high level of confidence that Oracle can get me out of the shit when the chips are really down.

I'd genuinely love to know if postgres is as reliable as Oracle. Not just in day to day use, but on that once in a blue moon occasion when you really need it to be.
I have to admit I can not fathom the game theory models that some of you seem to be approaching this problem with. Embrace your cynicism, but play it out all the way. People are greedy. Other people in the world want the money that the United States has. This gives the US leverage and power. The United States does not have all the power, but neither does China; that's just the same error firing in a different direction. There is no scenario where the world just shrugs its shoulders and says "Gee golly, I guess I can't even try to have that American money because the US didn't sign this one treaty and that was the only way that could ever happen".

I'm also not saying everything will necessarily be perfectly peachy, because that's also just the same error firing in a different direction as thinking that it's all catastrophe. It's mostly about fiddling around the margins, not massive binary movements. What will really happen is that some things will be better for the US, some things will be worse, and which one you think dominates will depend upon your values.

Google Is Making AI That Can Make More AI
While it's not compiler technology (crawlers are trivial too), it's not basic CRUD either. It's an API able to support your entire frontend/SPA/mobile app, basic CRUD won't give you that. If you think it will take you 2-3 days to implement an api for Basecamp i would say you are overly optimistic :). If it would be that simple, products like Parse/Firebase would have not existed in the first place (much less acquired by facebook and google)

Interesting; I didn't know that Nautilus was backed by a religious organization, but in retrospect I am not surprised at all.

The "success" rate would still be very high, as most people would surmount the infection. However, the "failure" rate (people dying) would be much higher as well...
I am sure you can see that would be an ethical and practical problem. Where would you put the "safety" cutoff of not giving zithromax?

It would be fun to start a meme of carrying antiquated electronic waste devices, and getting them confiscated as a means of disposal.

Encrypt them with spacefiller data and start crossing borders, and then refuse to provide passwords and abandon them for sheer amusement.

Way more fun than recycling old laptops and batteries. And better than planning to travel empty handed, in anticipation of getting ripped off by pesky customs guards.
They did it and I guarantee no one will be held accountable for it, so what would it being illegal matter in this case? They do whatever they want to you if the state really wants to harass you, laws be damned.
I am afraid that, the python community has messed up 2.x => 3.X transition. Until 3.3, there seemed no incentive to port your codebase to Python 3.X.

With golang getting a lot of traction and compiler tools like grumpy (python -> Go), I would rather invest time to transition into golang as apposed to transition to 3.X.
He's right though. Backporting features will be hard, and it looks like the wrong move. If you wanted to fork just fork, and evolve python 2.7 on its own. Why try to create an inferior python 3?

I could see security fix releases be useful. Giving people more time to transition is going to benefit some projects. But in terms of feature, it does sound toyish.

Appart from that, it actually doesn't look like there's any problem here. The maintener agreed to change the name.

I don't expect this project to exist for very long unless it breaks free, but if it tries to just bring 3 features back to 2, I'm not sure it'll make sense for very long.

Let me quote what voluntarily handing over personal information means at the university level:

"Obtaining written informed consent from a potential participant is more than just a signature on a form.
The consent document is to be used as a guide for the verbal explanation of the study.
The consent document should be the basis for a meaningful exchange between the researcher and the participant.
The participant's signature provides documentation of agreement to participate in a study, but is only one part of the consent process.
The consent document must not serve as a substitute for discussion."

Seems phrased fairly differently from the typical "terms of use" document we get when signing up for an online service. So I ask. Should these be vastly different things?
How long before they 404 this subdomain?
That is completely false. Just a Google search will reveal to you that dozens of new antibiotics have been found since but they didn't last long. BTW, Penicillin also lasted less than a year before bacteria developed resistance to it.

Trash article.

Points 1-5 are plain idiotic.
The two biggest disadvantages of Postgres is that the options for clustering/HA/failover are no-where near as straightforward, and that there's much less tooling and information to acclimatise DBAs to working with it. I offer both those from working in shops which have adopted both at one time or another

For advantages I would cite:

1. As with Linux vendors, you have a number of options for support. You can go with a Red Hat style model from EnterpriseDB (annual fee, helpdesks and consultancy, and so on), consultancies such as LisaSoft, through to downloads and following mailing lists. While Oracle have a wide partner network, ultimately you're stuck with what Oracle decide to provide.

2. Postgres doesn't care about your platform. This is huge, huge, huge. Any conversation around Oracle DB will turn into a sales opportunity for Exa* products, OracleVM, and OEL. The Oracle DB pricing and support are hugely worse off (more expensive, less supported) on any non-Oracle product OS or hypervisor. You will either have to drag a bunch of hardware and software that wouldn't already be price/feature competitive into your life, or spend a lot of time fighting and micromanaging your DB footprint, both of which are terrible choices.

3. IME for most things Postgresql is a lot easier to use than Oracle. Per my first comment there are some cases where it isn't, much much of the set up/deploy/upgrade is much more straightforward and amenable to automation tooling (ansible/puppet/chef/etc) than Oracle.

4. Postgresql features are there or not. Folks will make a lot of the partitioning not being quite as easy as Oracle's to set up and run, but those same people are unlikely to mention how much extra $$$ Oracle partitioning costs. Or the management packs. Or the encryption packs. Or... you get the picture.

I can't really go into more detail than that, I'm afraid, since Oracle, like IBM with DB2, have fishhooks in their licenses which limit the amount of real-world information users of the product can share.

Personally, if I were starting a thing from scratch, I'd be inclined to use Postgres as a baseline and DB2 or SQLServer for anything it can't handle.
China is pushing trade deals through quickly. The US just wasted 8 years of those eleven countries' time and is strongly signalling protectionism.

This isn't a hypothetical problem but a well known issue within the pharmaceutical industry. The drug companies don't purposefully make drugs that cause harm in order to sell more of their other products but the economic incentives in the United States healthcare market are extremely misaligned. The end result is, essentially, an industry that "keeps us sick" to maximize profit not because of malice, but because of a market failure.

Market size and total profit over the lifetime of the patent is the primary factor that is considered at every step from random screening to clinical trials. Spinning up a clinical trial requires many tens or hundreds of man-years of work by very specialized and hard to find scientists/doctors before you even sign up your first human subject so even the biggest pharma companies have limited bandwidth. This forces them to be very selective, even when they have multiple high-potential targets, and that means choosing to run the clinical trials for drugs with the highest potential ROI and lowest regulatory approval risk. For a variety of reasons, cures are usually much more complex and difficult to develop and get approved than simple drugs that treat symptoms and since the US has a complex, opaque network of insurance companies instead of a single payer, no one is in a position to negotiate prices that maximize healthcare ROI at scale.

There is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to develop cures for diseases when they can provide a "good enough" quality of life boost for the entire lifetime of the patient and sell it for the exact same price. This means that often times cures won't even be researched past animal testing because the pharma company has a large pipeline of less risky, more profitable drugs to get through the FDA

Parallelizing Enjarify in Go and Rust
You do realize that this is actual frontrunning, as in a broker frontrunning its clients, and not arbitrage on the market or an HFT getting a sneak peak at the order feed from say NYSE?

Also, this is a dark pool literally operated by an HFT - I'm referring to the lit market under SEC regulation. This pool isn't even available to retail traders, not to say that excuses frontrunning. Their punishment was fairly light as well, unfortunately.

Edit: It looks like ITG is a tech provider that illicitly used info from the dark pool to run a trading desk. If you look at their disclosures on prop trading, it seems their trading was minor and linked to their frontrunning operation. I think most if not all of the prop trading they do is shut down.

I've also edited my parent post to be more clear.
NuxtJS: Universal Vue.js Apps
This issue is not as easy as it seems. Doctors used to give them for a cold, and still do (even in the best medical practices). There are two important things to be aware of:

- Differentiating "common cold" (viral infection) from a bacterial infection, which would be a correct indication for antibiotics, is often impossible. If you want the best chance for your particular patient, what will you do? Now, if you want the best chance for the whole patient population, what will you do? Not the same thing.

- If you don't give antibiotics, things turn wrong, and the patient's family comes back wielding pitchforks, what do you do? This is less of a problem nowadays, but in small communities and rural environments can still be a very real question.

This is also a bit of a cultural issue. Now, I agree completely that OTC antibiotics make no sense at all.
Beats dying. Which is the alternative once antibiotic resistance is total.

It's like I accidentally stuck my hand in a running blender and someone asks whether I'm angry because of the noise of the motor or because the buttons aren't arranged in a reasonable order.

I tried learning about Haskell just so I could understand a flurry of articles I came across that were trying to explain monads. But mostly I found super abstract notation, something about bind and unit and >>=, and I came away just feeling dumb. I gave up pretty quickly, but to be fair I suppose I wasn't super motivated to work through it.

Later, I learned Rust just for fun. Options? Sounds like a good way to express uncertainty about a function call. Oh, and you can compose it with other Options using this function called and_then(), and things will short-circuit if they fail. Neat!

A year later I find out I had been productively using monads the whole time without even knowing it. It's so frustrating knowing how easy it could have been to learn this concept explicitly the first time around.
Or don't carry anything, and take an old thinkpad with basically a throwaway thin client OS on it set up to allow you access to a vnc-over-ssh session elsewhere.
Right, I got that. I was attempting to draw attention to the fact that the article I was referring to put the erotica first in the enumerated list.

If it's true, that Russia influenced the election, then the major scandal is not that Russia [whatever], rather it's that the US fell for it.

Anyway, I still have trouble getting past the idea that the Electoral College system in the US can result in a president who didn't win the popular vote. Before we go blaming anyone else for anything, perhaps we should get our own affairs in order. Generally speaking.
The major issue is that we don't really have the licensing framework for a living thing.

The "drug" keeps changing. The neat part of phage is that they co-evolve along with the bacteria they're feeding on, but it means there's no really consistent formulation. It's unique, and it's not fixed.

The same problem effects fecal transplant. "The healthy gut flora of a donor" is much harder to approve and regulate than "Famotidine 10mg, Calcium carbonate 800 mg, Magnesium hydroxide 165mg" (the antacids on my desk).

Which ones specifically? Many massive ones that held out for a long time are either done or in the process of porting. (twisted, openstack, almost all web frameworks, etc.)

PS. https://python3wos.appspot.com/ now shows only few packages not marked as compatible from the most popular ones. One group (carbon, graphite, supervisor) are not libraries so they don't really affect others. The other is specific moz* libraries - and they're for Mozilla's internal testing, so nobody else should care that much.
passing anything would require a coalition government

Yeah, because "coalition governments" have worked so well in countries like Italy. Have they hit the 100 mark yet for number of "coalition governments" formed since WWII?

And the Liberal Democrats made out really well in the "coalition government" that was formed in the UK after the 2010 elections. They went from 57 MPs after 2010 to 8 MPs after 2015. Even Charlie Sheen wouldn't call that "winning".
Pgsql: Logical replication
Maybe. Maybe not. What if the model changes?

Today's model of contracting is fire-and-regret: spec out as much as you can of the next five or ten years, and when the world changes, litigate.

That's not very agile. Hart and Holstrom won the 2016 Nobel in Economics for pointing out the futility of the idea of a complete contract.
http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2016/10/science-...

What's the alternative? Hirschman remarked that your voice sounds loudest when you are closest to exit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty

What if we treated contracts as an iterated stream instead of an immutable invariant? What if every contract had a maximum term of one year, one month, one day? Power imbalances might be reduced precisely because nobody's locked in: it's a lot easier to break up when you're just dating. After the marriage you might let yourself go.

Software is eating law, but "law is code" is only the first step. Just as the historic transition from proprietary to opensource informs ideas like "Github for law", the historic transition from waterfall to agile will find its analog in the legal and business domains by changing the way we develop and deploy contracts, ultimately driving changes in economic relations.

Think about how "no-contract" phone plans have made the telco market more competitive, to the benefit of the consumer.

Think about how agile development means less software project failure, and less software project failure means less litigation between client and outsourced development vendor.

That's just one example of how litigation might be reduced. If better tools and languages mean that we can better transform our intent into specification, we might be forced to be clearer about what we actually do and don't agree on, we might be more honest in our dealings, there might be an actual "meeting of minds", and when things don't turn out the way we expect, rather than blaming the other party, which seems dysfunctional, we embrace change together, and agree to consciously work on the relationship, to improve the next iteration of the contract … which is due to be revised and renewed anyway, next month, not next decade.
I said NOTHING about the file format being owned. The code inside, the header which EVERY EMULATOR USES, is the unique thing, and can be protected.

By the way, every ROM ripping tool explicitly states "Non-commercial purposes" so Nintendo still violates a specific licensing limitation by using a ROM made using those tools, whether they own the property or not. Any way you try twisting this argument, you're going to lose, hard.
