>>>Dowries will also likely go down.

This guy is autistic and has never worked in US. United State's feminism policy now prefers more women to talented men. Just look at all Ivy and 2nd tier universities.

Dowries are almost never happen from lower middle class. I am speaking this from my own experience. In fact, males are in disadvantage when it comes to marriage. Girls expect to be 6' tall, own house, car and no cooking. I live in US and looking to marry to an Indian girl, but almost all have rejected me for whatever reason they know. I am not looking from any caste or religion. Quite a few I found to be slutting around after doing research online.

Any indian girl coming to US for studies rides cocks left and right. In fact, all my white friends tease me that they can fuck Indian girls, but I can't get one.

Feminism is in full force in India and US.

This is a moderate move in my opinion.
DEFCON 20: Attacking TPM Part 2: A Look at the ST19WP18 TPM Device [video]
Yeah but there's kind of the idea to keep both as separate as possible. When Hitler came to power he was very well connected with the big industrialists at that time. The years before Germany was a really chaotic and highly polarized nation. Reading the US news daily (CNN and Fox) I also see large polarization. I wonder if this move is bridging the gap between left and right or widening it.
A large part is that Trump isn't as smooth as a traditional politician. He gets in and starts going for it–no conciliatory tones, no concessions. I bet that if Bush had implemented the same policy, there'd be opposition but not anything near what we have now.

> Trump entered office with one of the three narrowest mandates of the past century, along with Nixon in 1968 and George W. Bush in 2000... Both Nixon and Bush, however — although they’d later become polarizing presidents — adopted conciliatory tones during their transitions into office. Hardly a partisan word can be found in Nixon’s 1969 inaugural address or Bush’s in 2001. They began their presidencies as relatively popular presidents, therefore.

100% my opinion here, but based on what I've read and heard so far a physical wall is a terrible way to actually prevent illegal immigration. Most illegal immigrants arrive legally but just remain illegally.

But you know what a big wall is? A symbol. It's my opinion that the purpose of the wall is not to actually 'secure our borders' but to act as a symbol that those to the south are not as welcome as before.
One of the main drivers of revenue for Microsoft is Office 365, with 23.1 million subscribers[0]. Along with Azure, MS runs some of the largest web services around. Most developers at MS don't necessarily work on these products, but to say that all the devs working on them use a simple .NET stack + SQL Server is discrediting a lot of work that they do.

> So for all practical purposes: YES, the 64-bit transition has actual real benefits to end users besides the larger address space

This is technically true, but it's a very bland statement vs "64-bit yields end-user performance improvements" or even "64-bit is a net positive".
External calls in C require an underscore (e.g., "_printf") to be easily trackable as possibly unsafe.

Also, at some point in the code (e.g., after you include your libraries), one can disable these calls with a directive.

But typically, one will use bindings for asynchronous libraries, such as libuv (https://github.com/fsantanna/ceu-libuv).

All the bad press you are talking about is pretty tiny news to most main stream consumers who make up the bulk of Apple's customers.

I don't get the MBPTB backlash, I ordered one 2 days after they announced it and I would absolutely not go back to my previous MB Air or swap to my wife's 1-year-old rMBP. I never touch type on the function row anyway so having to look down is a non-issue and at least now I can customise the bar to do what I want rather than what Apple prescribe.
>but I think it's disingenuous to somehow imply that Trump isn't worse, or that this didn't start with the Bush administration's response to 9/11

He never even remotely implied that. This comment is incredibly dishonest.
You missed the most important part: writ down the backout plan.
Of course, use cases are different. In my case I usually deploy either automatically or manually, but in those rare cases when you can't replicate bug locally there is nothing better than vi. But of course, to each his own.
But Go's Setenv calls setenv_c, so a rogue C getenv would still be able to provoke races in Go code. Yes, a rogue C setenv would not provoke races in Go code calling getenv, but C interoperability is busted anyway---that's why I said that the mutex is the important part. It would work just as well (excluding cgo) if Go getenv called C getenv.

They don't use getenv because it does a slow linear search, while Go can use a more efficient string->string map.

When I hear "fake news", I understand "news about fake facts" and not "opinions which may be erroneous".

The issue is to favor the true debates, with different points of view, and to remove the noise which prohibits and prevents from speaking or hearing others.

>Safari iOS has become this generations IE 6

Yeah, the kind of "IE6" that beat Chrome and Firefox last year to be the first to fully support ES6 for example.

https://twitter.com/webkit/status/728643624464883712

Check http://caniuse.com/#compare=chrome+59,safari+TP yourself, and you see the differences in scores is mostly because they give 1 point to every API, however non-important it is. Meanwhile, Chrome supports some good ones (File Storage, WebRTC, Pointer Events etc), but Safari supports some good ones that Chrome doesn't too: MathML, HTTP Live Streaming, Video and Audio Tracks, SVG fonts. But Chrome also tries to push various proposals of (mainly) theirs, down everyone's throats.

I'm not questioning that smoking rates have dropped. That's absolutely true, and an easily verifiable fact. What I'm questioning is the assertion that higher taxes on cigarettes have been the primary cause of this reduction in the smoking rate. It's important that we carefully account for all the factors at play and arrive at a considered answer. If we do this, we then know the most effective way to combat, and hopefully one day, eliminate, smoking.

It really kills me that there seems to be a lot of lazy thinking around this subject. It has for a number of years, in fact. I hope this isn't taken as an 'appeal to authority' argument, but I'm an economist who has worked in tax policy for a number of years, during which time I actually advised a couple of Australian Prime Ministers and their Cabinets on excise tax. I'm not trying to be a contrarian here. If people know what is and is not effective, then they are in a better position to pressure their elected representatives to take effective measures to combat smoking.
Well, on Linux, there are various hardening mechanisms that lock down ptrace, as well as things like /proc/PID/mem/, but I don't think the same restrictions apply to grabbing fds from other processes via /proc/PID/fd/. So in theory a process running as the same user (but which can't just debug your process due to hardening) could steal your pipe and exploit your program... probably not a terribly realistic threat, but a contrived objection to a contrived scenario :)

Where are all the people criticizing Cook right now? I mean, I honestly think that the majority of the things that have been told about Apple in the last month are complete BS, he was seen as the CEO in crisis not able to do his job, abandoning the Mac, iPhone 7 was a joke etc...
Marvelous.
It's nice to see a modern alternative for URL parsing, specially as the java.net.URL equals does not work as expected and the java.net.URI is outdated.

By the way, I took a look at your test cases and you seem to test for some crazy edge cases, like Chinese characters in the host part of the URL and even smileys. Are these valid URLs in general?

Why should "check your backups day" apply to only enterprise backup? I've seen it repeated as gospel many times on Hacker News to folks who've lost backups that it was their own fault for not checking them. My point is we should focus on a software solution to making this more robust, and not blaming people.
Even without having read the article (the site is down for me) I can say this is a wise decision.

Currently the 64-bit arm cpu can also run 32-bit code. To support this it contains a 32-bit emulation layer that also exists in a few other places such as caches. By removing that, apple will be able to

1. Shrink the CPU, hence making room for more cores or bigger caches.

2. Reduce power usage by removing a significant number of gates.

3. Simplify the OS code significantly, which will probably improve performance and security.
I think "Artificial Intelligence a Modern Approach" is still the best foundation book. However it certainly is not focused on deep learning. There's chapters on pretty much everything (one on reinforcement learning) but it is build around the idea of intelligent agents first and foremost. Best written CS book I own.
Yeah, that's true, but Google is pretty good at backwards compatibility and most of the applications out there still support at least Andorid 4.1, released 5 years ago.

If I read this correctly, Apple will stop letting people upload and distribute apps for iPhone 5C, which is significantly newer, right?
Blacks make up almost 13% of the US population (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_Unit...) but only about 3% of the population in top-tier schools in the US (http://www.forbes.com/sites/schifrin/2015/12/20/diversity-at...).

Now, to me, this doesn't really seem like preferring non-whites to whites. Why does it seem that way to you?
In the thread about the Gitlab backups, manual checking (not "labour") was suggested at least twice.
Exactly, BYOD setup. As I hinted, single organization and several independent people working together with their private laptops, using several on-premises services and right now, way too many passwords.

Towards AD, I'm kind of ambivalent. However, it's all or nothing approach is not suitable right now. What I need now is just the Kerberos, and the willingness of the apps to use it.
> To outdoorsmen like Amaro, selling off individual parcels of national land creates a “multiplier problem”, where a small parcel of land turned private can cut off access for many. That’s what happened in Coronado national forest, he said. Ten acres that led on to hundreds of thousands of acres of public property were turned into state trust land.

> “Access has been eliminated for much of the forest. The private landowners now effectively have their own private hunting preserves by not allowing public hunters a way into the national forest,” Amaro said.

Sounds pretty bad - given the precedent they should at least amend the bill to ensure public access to public parts.
Yes, it's funny how the wage slaves cheer along with their billionaire idols. Mixture of the lottery player's hope of also winning the jackpot, and fear of losing the job they realistically must expect to be chained to instead (at least until they hit 39, that is.)
Here's a great documentary [0] by Errol Morris about the United Flight 232 crash in 1989 [1].

"..the accident is considered a prime example of successful crew resource management due to the large number of survivors and the manner in which the flight crew handled the emergency and landed the airplane without conventional control."

I highly recommend it

There hasn't been enough research about e-cigarettes to say whether or not they're a health hazard people who are around users.

And many of us who are anti-smoking (and anti-vaping), are also supporters of public transportation and reducing car usage.

We already have this. Copyright gives Apple a legal monopoly on iOS. It isn't supposed to give Apple a monopoly on the distribution of third party iOS apps. That's just the sort of monopoly leveraging the antitrust laws are intended to deal with.
Good riddance. What really bugs me is that why is every smoker an idiot throwing the cigarette butts everywhere? I really despise that behavior.
There are differences, for example flying ultralight aircraft (hang-gliders, paragliders) is prohibited in the national parks.

Private land in the US is barb wired, often with no access at all. (This is different from private land in Europe, where the norm is that a forest, in private hands would not be barb wired, and there are sometimes easements for recreational use.)
It would be nice if they published a list of the software which will no longer be supported.

Having crunched the numbers in London a couple of times, I think these are pretty much spot on. One thing I will say is that there is a pretty large variance. It depends a lot in what sector you're working. Outside of London is quite a bit cheaper (surprisingly so) and I often wonder how people hire anyone.
Wholeheartedly agree.

Incidents are inevitable and it's important to have a proper RCA/Service-Disruption process in place to handle those.

As mentioned on the other thread, maybe Gitlab doesn't have enough operational/SRE expertise in-house yet, but that was the case in every fast-growing company I've worked for last decade.
I imagine they are dropping the support in new hardware too.
Ya know, some of us are fine with defending our borders but realize that the image of a big wall in our head is a lot nicer than the reality of seizing land and spending billions ineffectively.

That's only true for things for which there isn't even one user who is a developer, who fixes your problem because it was also their problem.

What's the difference between dual licensing and "providing some components in a private (= restriced licensed) way" ?
Sure, but don't forget that there also exists aarch64 with ilp32 (int, long and pointers are 32bit) as opposed to the default lp64. Which is basically the new instruction set but restricted to 32bit memory space. In fact some of the specint benchmarks are faster with ilp32.
Not sure if this was your intention, but your comment came off as somewhat snarky - a theme best reserved for reddit.

It was not advice - but an observation offered as a data-point. You can indeed meet people that run ultra-marathons without running one by going to meetups, fb group events, etc.
x86 is a special case because 32-bit x86 was exceptionally register-starved, causing a performance penalty.

I am not any kind of battery engineer, but...

My understanding is a primary limitation for these batteries is cooling. Cooling ability is relative to the surface area of the battery. One giant battery has much lower surface area than a bunch of small ones.

Also having a large number of batteries lets you put different cells on different recharge cycles to maximize battery life. You can use a small number of worn out cells for brief minute-to-minute fluctuations while you keep fresher cells on longer cycle that optimizes lifetime. With one big battery you're just stuck with whatever wear characteristics the usage curve gives you.
This isn't true.

Tobacco excise raises about $2B a year(1), but smoking costs around $30B a year(2). A 10% increase in the excise reduces the smoking rate around 4%, so simplistic analysis indicates that around $200M raised would save nearly $1.5B (lots of simplification and assumptions there obviously).

Linguistic relativity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

> The principle of linguistic relativity holds that the structure of a language affects its speakers' world view or cognition. Popularly known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, or Whorfianism, the principle is often defined to include two versions. The strong version says that language determines thought, and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories, whereas the weak version says that linguistic categories and usage only influence thought and decisions.

> Currently, a balanced view of linguistic relativity is espoused by most linguists holding that language influences certain kinds of cognitive processes in non-trivial ways, but that other processes are better seen as arising from connectionist factors.

For a simple empirically shown example of linguistic relativity: you can see more colors if you have names for them.

Having the hostname on the prompt is a good idea, but I don't think it would have helped with this process failure.

I work at a company where we have hundreds of database machines. Running this kind of command _anywhere_ without some kind of plan would be foolish. (It's one of the reasons why we have a datastore team that handles database administration.)

But the same lesson applies to application servers as well. Don't run deleterious commands out of curiosity. Have a peer-reviewed roll plan to act on when doing things like this. A role plan would have called for verifying the host before running the command.

But even before that, the issue should have been investigated more!

All of these things contributed to the failure. There should ideally be better ownership through dedicated roles, peer-reviewed processes for dangerous activities, and a better process for investigation that does not involve deleting things haphazardly.

Yeah my old music teacher has to have a Mac because he has to run Digital Performer, if you write tv and movie music for a living you have to be on a Mac with Digital Performer, its industry stadard. For developers it still makes more sense to have a Mac as well because you can write for ios/android and the web all on the same system. But if you work for an early stage startup like me you probably have a chromeos device like I do rather than a Mac unless you're an investor rather than an employee.

Yet the job of the government isn't to sell the land for cheap; it's for public enjoyment or economic investment that benefits the public, such as roads, railroads, the power grid, etc. It should not be sold so a wealthy few can get it for cheap, then reap the economic reward with little return for the public.
>When the Apollo launchpad manager was asked if he had fired the technician in question, then answer was allegedly "Nope. He is the one guy on the next launch team that I know will NEVER make the same mistake again."

This same general story appears in different forms with million dollar trading errors, etc. But I have to wonder if it's really that good of a lesson. If you truly take it to heart, you could potentially keep people on the team that are legitimately incompetent which could result in another catastrophic failure.
Precisely! If you check some of my other comments in this thread, you'll see me putting forward the idea that these social incentives (created by these laws) are the primary cause of reduced smoking rates over the past decade or so.

My concern here is over timing. I'm not sure that smoking has been sufficiently socially marginalised to the point that a black market would not form if we banned cigarettes. We've seen this already in Australia. The ATO (where I used to work) has had compliance teams in the field for at least a decade now dealing with the 'chop-chop' problem (black market tobacco), which grows larger with every excise increase. In a sense, banning it is the equivalent of setting excise at some rate approaching infinity per cent.

I don't have any control over what the Tasmanian parliament does, but I really hope they understand that they only get about 1 shot at this per decade at most. If they pass this law and it turns out smoking is not sufficiently marginalised, and a black market subsequently forms, they'll spend the next 3-5 years fighting the black markets, another 3-5 debating and eventually re-legalising cigarettes and then we'll be back to where we are now.

Although it requires a bit more patience, it might be safer to wait a couple more years as the 'outdoor smoking laws' strengthen social incentives and norms. They might even be able to come up with additional measures to accelerate this process.

I agree that we're close to the point where banning cigarettes is feasible. But whether we've actually past that point...
