How many lines of code are inside those unsafe blocks, versus in the entire source tree?

And how many of those unsafe blocks could be removed and consolidated into libraries, if they are doing similar things?
You understand that the tax will be passed on to US consumers via higher prices right?
Keep in mind also that far more people are vision-impaired than totally blind. Being high contrast and tactile helps those people navigate as well.
This is the reason distributors already exist. Almost all restaurants buy almost all of their ingredients through food distributors (or on occasion just the local Costco).

Not saying that there's not room to grow in this area, but it's definitely not the case that restaurants are buying straight from a bunch of individual suppliers, minus restaurants aiming for hyper-local or small batch ingredients.
Is it? Or is to make the best decision? I think a AI CEO could perform a lot better than most of these expensive showmen.

But in many areas of medicine, solutions have existed that outperform humans for years (not related to current deep learning wave). Yet they were not implemented for regulatory/legal reasons.
Easy, personal access to cloud computing. I have a macbook and am pretty satisfied with it. But a problem is, that in order to learn data-science/deep learning i need a beefy GPU/CPU and everything else. I could buy a desktop, but i am a student and not much at home, also in the age of cloud computing this seems silly. Also the upfront investment for a student is not negligible.

I want really easy, flexible instances that are super, super simple to activate. Something like click website -> click start GPU with tensorflow preinstalled -> upload & run my python.

Ideally per minute-billing and super, super simple to set-up and ssh into.
> while the Googles and Microsofts of the world support a program that allows them to hire top engineers from all over the globe.

Yes, and exploit those workers with lower salary than they deserve because those workers only have a small sliver of the job market available to them that their US Citizen competitors do.

The H-1B program is terrible for all employees and only benefits employers, which is why you see big corporations like Microsoft and Facebook pushing to remove caps on it. Not because they generous but because they would love to have more engineers who are underpaid and have a very hard time leaving the company for years until they can one day become citizens (and from what I understand the path to citizenship for an H-1B worker is not easy despite them being extremely productive and high contributing members of society.)
While we might have some common idea what is text, we definitely not have common semantics! The resulting situation isn't so much different from trees.

And what do you mean by "s-expressions just too simple"? Isn't simplicity something to strive for?
Not only is java good enough, it's currently better than rust for networking applications. Hopefully tokio changes that, but it's not 100% there yet.

The scarcity of housing in cities is not entirely artificial. Sooner or later you hit infrastructure limits. Remember that article about parts of New York City literally running out of space on the streets for pedestrians?
Exactly. We are forcefully taught to fight these behaviours in ourselves very early on, often before we gain consciousness and memory as children. That will lead parts of our brain to detest and fight those behaviours in others laters on, bot on a subconscious level which makes it hard to change.
This title is pure sensationalism. The written piece says clearly "security vulnerabilities in the GStreamer multimedia framework. A combination of the Chrome browser and GNOME-based desktops creates a particularly scary vulnerability.". Somehow this very specific combination inflated to become Desktop Linux.

My default installation came with VLC, firefox and KDE. No gstreamer nor gnome installed, google products including Chrome are not welcome. Though I'm pretty sure manjaro is part of the Desktop Linux family.

Too bad this misrepresentation is hurting the message OP is trying to carry to the world. Then this message is hardly news, the guys at grsecurity have been at it for 15 years providing hardening security patches to the vanilla kernel.
You can in Europe (Schengen). ID controls can happen so you can't be 100% sure but other then that you could book a flight with whatever name you want and no one will notice.

"Bob was here until 7 at night fixing bugs in the code! Where was Alice?"

It won't matter that Bob didn't fix the bugs; Alice did when she came in the next morning. It won't matter that Bob caused the issue in the first place. Alice probably didn't even hear the above exclamation, it was an internal dialogue in their manager's mind, so she can't even offer a rebuttal.

Bob was seen working "when it mattered". Perception trumps performance, sadly.
sounds like a terrible life honestly
I don't think we have a single line of 'unsafe' code in any of our 6 Rust projects at work.

If you're using Rust for business apps, you'll basically never touch 'unsafe'. For an extreme example from a weekend project, I wrote an MPEG 2 Program Stream / Packetized Elementary Stream / subtitle image decompressor, which obviously does a lot of bit-banging. (It's an ugly old format.) And I never touched 'unsafe' once. This is typical.

The only big exceptions are (1) working with existing C libraries, which isn't too hard once you get the hang of it, but which obviously requires 'unsafe', and (2) writing your own graph-like data structures from scratch, which you should avoid in favor of using an existing library like petgraph (https://docs.rs/petgraph/0.4.3/petgraph/). Basically, a doubly-linked list or cyclic graph is the worst possibly introduction to Rust for newbie Rust programmer. Start with something easier! I mean, unless you're the kind of person who tries to pole-vault learning curves, in which case, have fun.
Yes, and there were a few implementations from different groups, as you would expect. I'm typing this on a current Arch and locate, mlocate and slocate are all available from the mlocate package.
Also those are cash salaries, tech companies also give generous share-based compensation. While share count is guaranteed (offer/contract) their $ value is not so they cannot be counted.
to add additional info, americans are taxed on income above 100k roughly per year that is earned from abroad. so if you are having above average success and you are making 200k per year abroad, then you will have a taxable income of 100k (roughly 19% effective rate)

If you are earning income from a US based source, such as payroll earnings from a US company, I believe you will be taxed in full, federal, state, medicare, social security. That's about 30% on 100k income if you are unmarried

I don't know how it works if you want to try to persuade the IRS that even though you are working for a US company with a W2 that lists a US address, you are "not living in the US". Maybe you could get away with it, but technically your company would have some legal problems for not getting you the right visas to "work" in a foreign country

As an American, i'd say its easier just to pay us tax and hop around on tourist visas
It would make a great plugin for national news sites, though their internal software teams could build this feature pretty quickly themselves.
Even assuming that, there could be a massive testing load to ensure that those few lines of code don't mess up something tangentially related, or cause new security issues of their own.
I'm curious about your use cases, as I do not seem to find much information about model-driven development out there. Can you elaborate a little bit more about what you do with EMF?

I'm asking this on the perspective of someone who is about to teach model-driven software engineering for a semester but cannot find much pratical use for it..
The reality is that most countries don't have visas to support the "digital nomad" life and you will either be working illegally under a tourist visa (everyone I've met), or spend months trying to get work visas and be rebuffed everywhere because you don't have a sponsoring employer, self-employment business starting capital+business plan, etc. And if you're there on a tourist visa, there's no way for you to pay tax.

I've seen two setups among people I've met who are doing the digital nomad thing: Either they are tax resident in their home country (wherever they started) and pay their taxes there, or they told their home country they moved out and they pay taxes nowhere. This obviously depends on the laws for tax residency in the country you're coming from (some depend on # of days in the country, ties like owning property/a business, etc). Traveling around inside the EU is also an exception.

Re: the visa thing. For instance if you tell US border control that you're going to be doing productive work, they WILL turn you back on the spot. Either get comfortable lying about your intentions or you will severely limit the countries you can visit.

edit: one more thing, everyone I've talked to as a digital nomad makes sure their status is as a contractor. If you're on payroll as an employee things instantly get more complicated, especially internationally.

I plan to switch to Ableton once I earn enough from music to pay for it, but that's because it's made for the kind of music I do. Everyone I know uses it, so it's easy to find advice and tutorials.

For now, Reaper and a few free VSTs will do. I find myself bumping up against the fact that Reaper was made for live music and its devs are understandably keeping the focus there, even though they do good work on the MIDI roll. They always nail down a few irritants in each release.

You'll go further and have an easier time if the community around your tools makes the same kind of music. Choosing tools mostly comes down to what you want to do. If you want to do electronic, Ableton is a good bet.
PStore, a little known feature in the standard library – Red Panthers
The problem here is people equate calories in/calories out with the equation "calories eaten - (calories burned from activity + basal metabolism) = weight loss". While energy in/out dictating weight loss is basically true on a biochemical level, that equation is false because your biochemistry undergoes massive changes as a result of what you eat, and gut bacterial metabolism also depends on the substrate provided.
>The argument that kids today live worse than their parents is insane. Yes, it seems so in the real GDP numbers, but it defies the rising standards of living that surround us, showing up everywhere but the numbers. Would anyone here want to live like the average Joe of the eighties, using only goods and services available then?

Because it's not about whether you can have Netflix and modern gadgets and Uber, but whether you can afford shelter, whether you can provide for a family, whether you have to work like a dog and miss your whole life, whether you'll be able to pay your debt (student loans etc), whether you'll be able to afford healthcare, being able to retire etc.

Living with only "80s goods and services" is much better than not being able to afford basic today's services, but having a smartphone and broadband internet.

And of course wealth is relative to societal norm, not absolute. If you live in the USA like a 18th century peasant with the "goods and services" available to 18th century TODAY, you're not lucky just because you don't live in cavemen-era "goods and services".

Agreed. English might be a de-facto standard to some extent and many people use it if they have to. But the truth is, people are lazy and most people find it easy to communicate in their mother tongue and tedious to communicate in English.

Look at what happened to facebook when they started offering localized versions, their growth suddenly exploded over here.

I believe this will take a long time, and it certainly is a major barrier.

Sorry, my post came off negative. A lot can be done with cubesats but the issue is size, weight, and power. Considering a high resolution satellite is the size of a school bus (the short version) it's hard to pack comparable tech into a cube-sat.

What they do get you is a cheap payload that maybe is "good enough" for certain applications. The issue is Planet is realizing they are not "good enough" for mapping applications.
Really? How is it hard to tell? It's obviously a joke.
In London at least, from the way they drive, it's painfully clear that the average Uber driver has very little experience.

It follows that turnover must be quite huge in the profession.
Again from memory, but I think that price and value are related but not the same thing. Prices would be determined by supply and demand, but value would be, by definition, anything added to the inputs.

I think I will spend some time looking into it.
Intriguingly, it probably hasn't fallen that much in terms of total energy spend. At every step of the way on the path to increasing efficiency, we didn't focus on saving; rather, we've increased the amount of light in public and private spaces. Where in the past a dimly lit room or alley might have been fine, you'd use intense light sources nowadays.
Nobody is mentioning Estonia.. They promote it, but you should be aware of double taxation rules with your own country, in short it means you can be double billed but can ask it back.

Inflation Targeting: A Monetary Policy Regime Whose Time Has Come and Gone(2014)
I think you are missing the point of the article. It lays out a case that this excess power generation is done for the profit of some regulated utilities, such as PG&E.

For example, it mentions a power plant that was shut down because of it's excess capacity while another plant, which benefited PG&E, was allowed to come online. Secondly you mention 15% as a good thing, ignoring the article's mention that 15% itself was controversial, as higher then normal.

You mock "show a scary graph where the supply keeps going up even though demand if flat. Frightening!!", but I don't understand why. This is a fact that demand is going down, so why should power plants keep getting added, to the point we are shutting DOWN power plants for excess capacity.

The article cites multiple experts who argue that this is an excess of power generation, including multiple people on the PUC board. These people surely have some conception of future anticipated growth. And also we pay 50% more per kwh then is the average, which is money going into pockets of regulated utilities.

And yet despite this, somehow you have decided the bigger number is better, no matter the actual cost. I honestly cannot understand how you read the article and come up with your conclusion, based off no cited expertise yourself.

The fact that your comment is on the top baffles me even more, as if everyone here has decided for the day they are suddenly experts in utility planning. It is possible of course you have some more knowledge about WHY this is needed e.g. some demand spike you anticipate. Yet to dismiss it all in bad faith, with no real argument other then 21 > 15, is just ridiculous to me.
How Change Is Doing Things Differently
Are you maybe thinking about adding more things on this one card? Ethernet, USB, memory (e.g. 1GB by default)...

Maybe even emulation of a faster CPU in FPGA (a'la the Vampire for A600).. though, it'd probably use the CPU slot instead of Z2/Z3.

Also, is it possible to hijack the function of the OCS/ECS/AGA directly via the Zorro slots (proxying the native output gfx output, e.g. with games), or maybe it'd require some kind of hardware bridge between the gfx chipset and your card?
That lethargy you feel when you diet is your body's metabolism slowing, and it also results in you being less active. If your metabolism totally crashed and as a result you felt so bad you didn't do much other than sit around, you might not lose weight on a 1k cal diet.
Source or speculation?
Keep in mind that H-1B visa is almost the only legal way for skilled workers to immigrate to the United States. Unlike other visa types, H-1B requires the applicant to have at least bachelor’s degree. At the same time USCIS issues about 650,000 family-based immigration visas and 120,000 visas for refugees every year.
Sucked from cane is not too bad; in that form it has a lot of other nutrients that make it easier for the body to handle.

Correct, it's a new H1B petition. For 6 years after getting your H1B you are cap exempt. However the "transfer" gives you only the reminder of 6y.
One of the AirBnBs I crashed at when I was between permanent residences was a 2 bed apartment operated by a lovely Polish couple. They rented out both the bedrooms and had converted the living room into a permanent bedsit for themselves in order to make ends meet living in a reasonable part of London.

I'm not sure whether the ability to do this truly empowered them, whether the life with it is better than the alternative. Clearly they judge it to be.

On the other hand was a chap renting out his spare room who loved being a host, chatting to the people he met etc etc. He was definitely happier with it.
At least you recognize that this is political posturing and virtue signaling and not an actual principled stand in favor of people from other countries.

I'm one step more cynical than that. I think this is the butt-hurt media riling people up because their darling lost the election. Oh, and of course ratings. When the news broke via wikileaks that the CIA, under Obama, started the Syrian civil war which as led to half a million deaths it was barely a blip on the radar because the media liked the guy who did it.
This is nothing to do with "Natural Language Processing" and the title is thereby completely misleading. I hope the mods change it.

In fact, the whole thing feels like nothing more than an advertisement/promotion. Personally, I'm borderline on flagging it as inappropriate because of that.
The video looked like a comedy sketch, it seriously does not look real to me with weird shaky cam shots of people's eyes and "we imagine this future" type dialogue.
There are very competent people on this planet who make a very good buck out of zero-days (not to mention remotely control users' machines, and steal data). IMO the researcher didn't want that particular vulnerability to dwell on somebody's todo list for several years.

It definitely puts pressure on MS but I don't think that's bad. Corporations have demonstrated time and again that the only way to get them to move is a PR hype.

If they want researchers to stop doing preliminary public disclosures, they should prioritize security higher than PR damage control.
Go Package – Go Fuck Yourself
That helps with compatibility, but it does not help deployment. Flatpack-like projects try to solve this, but there won't be a "good" way of targeting linux until one of those solutions is widespread enough that you can just show 3 download links on your page (windows, linux, os x) and it all just works.

As a developer I have zero interest in trying to get my application into the package managers of various distributions,

The product family name is boring, TRÅDFRI is simply a re-wording of "wireless" (tråd = wire, compare "thread"; free = fri). This sounds a bit like "wirefree" would do in English, I guess.

That sounds like your archive_timeout is set to 10 seconds.
(or close, as WAL segments are 16MB pre-compression).

That's the maximum age of a WAL segment before rotation, and Postgres will force the log rotation even if there's no data in the WAL segment.

If you're worried about keeping the last n seconds of data in replication, streaming replication is a far better tactic than log-shipping. (Though log shipping is useful for longer term storage)
Android took linux and solved the problems: it created an ivory-tower set of API's for applications and it provided an app distribution model that isn't insane.
Legal tech is ripe. E-discovery is what everyone is paying attention to, but no one has got it right so far. Additionally there are many other areas with opportunities that aren't getting as much attention. Basically take on anything LexNex is doing now.
Well what would the logical alternative be? If I argue that someone should support a policy because it serves their self interest, that presumes a moral framework. If I argue they should support it for the greater good, that assumes a moral framework. And so on. I don't think it's a question of looking really hard for the right argument, such an argument is logically precluded.
There's a very useful chapter in Karwin's SQL Antipatterns on this topic too.
In many states they don't even need a reason to let you go.
Sure, but there is a point where you are taking in less than you are using. Maybe I should have said 500kcal instead. It doesn't matter if your boby absorbs 100% of that, or 20%, or if it's all organic veggies or potato chips or straight up lard - it's just not enough to live on, and you will lose weight.

> The big issue is that American homebuyers, as a class, have lost the ability to distinguish good home design from bad. "Why" is a long essay, but the "just trust me on this" is that the vast majority of home-buyers have little to no experience in the sort of work that goes into building a home.

and therefore this is not a legal issue, but an economic one. (or aesthetic, or whatever you want to call it, but not legal)
Yes. Of the two problems (apis and deployment) apis is actually the easier problem. It's not solved by any means (OS services are just too dang hard to figure out because desktop linux isn't one OS. How do I do desktop notification, printing, service init etc in a way that works for all distros?) but at least that's doable.

The deployment is the hard problem imho.
