Yes, the solution is to use a package manager that builds Python with an up-to-date version of OpenSSL. The long term solution is to patch Python to use SecureTransport, but I don't see anyone rushing to do that.
The contestants are in the repo. One core is used "to be fair" (the Python stuff only uses one core). But the test, yeah. What's being tested is the presence of pipelining :D
Do you differentiate compensation by region/country?
>Not to mention stolen land via genocide, slave labor, accessible natural resources, huge geographic isolation from competition, and even a lucky point in time coinciding with the industrial revolution that began in Europe (and particularly Britain, which begat the U.S.).

Similar things could be said of all the once-great powers of Europe and Asia. Big deal.

I have switched layouts 3 times in the last 27 years. I began with Dvorak. That wasn't a switch. It was the first layout I learned to touch type on. I think I was 16 at the time. Back then you either needed a keyboard which supported the layout, or a DOS TSR. (I had the former: a Northgate Omnikey). Years later I switched to Colemak, then to QWERTY using Kazantsev fingering, and finally back to Dvorak.

My observations are: Cold turkey is the only way to go. It will take you a couple weeks to a month to regain your old speed. Then you will be faster. Your speed has nothing to do with the advantage of one layout over another. There is no speed advantage to Dvorak or Colemak because the intrinsic efficiency of one layout over another is dwarfed by the mind's ability to establish a skill in autonomic memory. The additional speed comes from the effort of re-training itself, and unlearning bad habits in the process.

Also: Don't try to retain the ability to touch-type on your existing layout. I tried this every time. I could do it, but only at the expense of speed and accuracy. When I gave it up, both improved dramatically.
There're many countries still missing! Please let me know if your country or the one you are curious about is missing!
Then it's a good thing that all the function keys pop right back up when you hit the FN key on the keyboard...
Income tax is high in Denmark, but the total tax wedge is much lower than in Germany (36.6% in of labour costs in Denmark vs. 49.4% in Germany for a single worker of average salary) [1]. The total employee contributions are similar - in Denmark 35.8% (as percent of labour cost), vs. 33.3% in Germany [2]. The rest is borne by the employer - 0.8% in Denmark vs 16.2% in Germany.

I don't know how this translates into differences in welfare spending (so it is possibly that Denmark spends more on welfare but that Germany just spends far more on other things - I haven't looked), or why the differences are so large, but of the OECD countries, Germany comes in only after Belgium (who always throne high above the rest on these lists) and Austria when it comes to the size of the tax wedge relative to total labour costs. Denmark meanwhile comes in near the OECD average, which was 35.9% in 2015.

> I think GitLab is at a cross roads and this setback might be the eye opener they need. Moving forward, they really need to re-evaluate how they develop and evolve GitLab.

Judging by their about team[1] page, they are currently short an Infrastructure Director. When you read their job listings, even for DBAs and SREs, it' all "scale up and improve performance." Very little "improve uptime, fight outages." One assumes it's upper management approving the job descriptions, so the missing emphasis on uptime, and redundancy probably pervades the culture. And again, judging by the team profile, they've hired very few DBA / SRE experts, and instead appear to have assigned Ruby developers to the tasks.

Perhaps they simply have to bet the farm on scaling much larger to sustain the entire firm, which is troubling for enterprise customers, and for teams like mine running a private instance of the open source product. Should probably review the changelog podcast interview[2] with the CEO and see if any quotes have new meaning after today.

It is ridiculous. But like I said, it's a litmus test for whether the Trump administration can look at fact and tell the truth.

I struggle to understand how anyone can look at photos/video taken from the same perspective and claim it was bigger than Obama (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdantUf5tXg - the gaps at the back are clear). No one doubts it was a large crowd - as your photo shows, there were clearly hundreds of thousands of people there - and both sides definitely put a spin on everything, but the Trump administration clearly tried to play 2+2=5 on this issue, either for his ego or for more serious reasons. Either way, it's not part of a healthy society.
Thanks for the reply. This must be the first time that anyone has ever taken the time to explain this "anti-PC" discourse to me in any other terms than: "If you don't get it you're a lame slowflake lol" -- so I appreciate it!

There is a lot to be said on this topic, but this is probably not the right forum. It's sad how hard it is to actually talk about this stuff.

There is an appropriate way to be clear on what the problem is and an inappropriate way to be clear on what the problem is. My initial point is that he did not raise his objections in an appropriate way.

I completely understand why he objected and I would have objected as well, but I would have done so in a more appropriate way.

When a cell divides, the very ends of the DNA cannot be copied. Rather than lose genetic material on every division, there is a cap of DNA at the end whose sole purpose is to be lost without ill harm when cell division occurs--this cap is the telomere.

Clearly, as you age, telomeres would shrink to nothingness. However, there is a mechanism to add more DNA to telomeres... which seems to be off for most cells. So it's thought that shortening telomeres is a cause of cellular aging, and lengthening them is thought to be able to halt or reverse cellular aging and hence aging in general.

The actual biology experiments generally seem to suggest more "we don't really know what's going on here."

In short, what's being said is "going to space seems to show an improvement in a metric that we really, really hope is correlated with increased longevity."

> Contracts that totally indemnify a company in a situation like this shouldn't be enforceable.

I definitely agree that as more people find themselves freelancing, we need to establish better legal protections for freelancers.

Lots of indemnity clauses are just ridiculous. Here's how to get over-broad indemnity clauses removed:

"Hey, I noticed you had some unusually strong indemnity clauses in your contract, which would require my company to cover your costs in situations X, Y and Z, which are outside of our control. As a general rule, we're not in the insurance business—we leave that to Lloyd's of London (laugh). But if this is important to you, I can look into purchasing a special insurance rider to cover these issues. This will delay the start date a bit and will obviously have an effect on the costs; I can get you a quote if you're interested. If not, we could replace this with <suggest standard, fair language here>."

If they're not willing to either (a) pay extra for the insurance they want, or (b) swap out the indemnity clause for something more neutral, then you walk. The only way to work for good clients is to discipline yourself to walk away from the bad ones. (Also, charge more, require a payment up front, and always quote daily or weekly rates, never hourly. This will improve the quality of your clients dramatically.)

Anybody who insists on broad indemnity clauses should be paying enterprise rates and the contracts should be reviewed by lawyers for both sides.

Another good approach is to pay to have your own standard contract drafted (without anything obnoxious in it), and send it to the client.

Why does 'non-local' have to equate to production? Are you able to use an IDE in your container/VM/cloud server?
Run that one by a lawyer, but my understanding is that the bar is approximately "If we do not let them go, we will -- with night-follows-day-certainty -- go under."

If it's simply a matter that you hired a plumber and don't have any toilets that need plunging, well, Japanese labor law considers that Management Error and not something which rises to the exceptional bar required to consequence an employee. Hire three plumbers but only have two plumbers worth of toilets? Get better at math.
Not really, cancer treatment is ridiculously expensive.

Also aged people put money into the economy in various ways so it's not a lost cause.

Aged people are also great baby sitters. You know day cares are insanely expensive. Grandparents are a lot cheaper.

Plus let's not kill people to save money. Many chose to euthanize themselves once they become bed ridden.

I know I would rather die than live a life where my memory is not functional. If I am bed ridden, I would happily say good bye to my family and call it a good life.

There is a massive gulf between "having more color words makes you distinguish more colors", which can be motivated well using experiments, and "using the passive voice makes you lie more", which is a largely unmotivated and untrue personal prejudice.
To be slightly more precise and because this is a very well established mechanism that gets overridden in quite a few circumstances : this is a "death clock" built into your DNA. One of several, but rather obvious and thus well known. A number of cell functions in your body are exempt from this death clock, most obviously the reproductive cells.

It causes your body to (very) slowly lose the ability to grow new cells. Also cells with shorter telomeres "senescence", which is sort of like aging : they become slower, and more brittle.

Amongst the advantages this has is that it protects against cells that increase their metabolism too high and against cells that rapidly divide (by having them senescence and die). The obvious disadvantage: it eventually kills you.

It seems likely, given that this mechanism is "deliberate" and definitely under the control of your DNA, that you live longer and more successfully with aging than without.

> If all that traffic is behind a small range of IPs (one wouldn't be enough) I'm not surprised there are issues. It does seem an odd network design though.

"Plonk all our desktops behind a router, NAT the whole thing" isn't that unusual as a network design.

> Yes, lots of them did.

I'm not disputing that, but my point is there wasn't the current sense of urgency to reign in the executive branch. HN didn't partner with the ACLU and unicorns didn't use the situation as a PR piece.

But what's changed? The president decided to restrict travel and "enhance" screening from muslim countries? Ok.. Yet Obama's drone usage in Islamic countries wasn't good enough to get this response? Or maybe the American citizens Obama decided to assassinate without due process, that didn't raise any eyebrows?

I think my point stands. Obama was so damn charismatic that only he could have pulled that off without major backlash. The vast majority of voting democrats just didn't care about constitutional rights when Obama was in office, and the renewed interest is politically motivated. And for that, I'm thankful to have this clown in office.
