It's also a good idea to assume Tor is already pwned and to follow good opsec(burner devices, mac address cloaking, using open/pwned wifi APs, loading & running OS completely through ram, and use hard drive write blockers). True anonymity is tough nowadays.
This seems to be the trend over the past couple of years. Started with Twitter with me, then Facebook, then Reddit. Hacker News, YouTube, and a couple mature news sites are about all I use outside of my own projects at this point. I've even gotten to the point, where I've installed comment section blockers in my browsers, so I won't see all of the horrible things people say to one another these days.

I'm honestly surprised on how much things like SnapChat, and even Facebook are still growing. It must be just the very young crowd, that hasn't gotten completely sick of it by now.
Lossmaking Snapchat may be worth $25bn
>such a niche attack

Niche indeed. The potential target group of users who think "just use Tor and you're safe" is vanishing rapidly.
Ok, but who are you?
I don't think they'll get rid of the physical (or at least in the case of the iPhone 7 kind-of-physical) button. It's part of their design language. If they do it would have to be a prominent, always on part of the UI.

That is of course unless they completely redesign the phone.

Still wont be getting one though
All in all, I would say that if needing a new cloud provider in case Google defaults is a big risk factor for your company, your company is in pretty good shape.

But yes, you need hardware you can trust. Burner won't be a bad idea if your life depends on your anonymity.
Totally agree with that !
In addition to this, it's important to note that in a .mid file (or, more accurately, a Standard MIDI File), a track is deliberately quite similar to a stream of MIDI data. There are some changes, obviously (among other things, timing information is stored as a delta per-event, and the addition of Meta Events displace the MIDI Reset command) but all of these can be dealt with just before the events are sent out, to my knowledge.

Because events in a track in a Standard MIDI File are stored more-or-less the same way they'd be sent down the wire, that includes the channel information. The sender doesn't need to have any concept of channels in order to send the events stored in a SMF.

(Yes, this does mean that you can have notes on different tracks that are on the same channel. That's actually useful sometimes when using a DAW, especially for solos and drum parts.)

That sounds amazing. It would make the Reapers not so evil, and it would give you a difficult - but absolutely necessary and fitting - choice to make. I was a huge fan of ME1, and I even read all the books by Karpyshyn. When I saw that weird sun in ME2, I absolutely knew it had to do with something related to the entire series. But when ME3 came out and I read how much they screwed up the story, I couldn't bring myself to play it. Even ME2 wasn't quite where it should have been. Forcing Karpyshyn out really messed things up. It could have been such a great story.

The point is that you can write your complex business logic with async/await which is easier to follow and get right. I mainly use it in my routers and database modules.

It doesn't need to factor out every .then() or callback from your codebase to be incredibly useful or to fulfill its purpose.

I used https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/ to convert a WP site with 10.000 pages. Took about 60 minutes so i had to increase PHPs max_execution_time. I also tested some other plugins before but most don't worked for me.

I had to turn off HTTPS for the generation time and reportet it as a bug to the developers.

I also converted another WP blog to Markdown and used it with a static site generator. My new site is not online yet, but here is the source of an article aout it: https://github.com/davidak/davidak.de/blob/master/pages/word...
RxJs (or equivalent FRP streams library) handles this perfectly.
This is exactly what I was thinking when I read the article. There is no reason for any Git repo to be that big. It's not a bug in Git, but more like a reasonable limit... if your project exceeds it, you're doing it wrong.

I'm also curious as to how they used to do it without git, maybe using TFS? I wonder what the timings on that were.

Anyway, I don't think GVFS is the way to go, and I hope that it either doesn't get accepted or doesn't play a role outside of Windows. It's good to see more Git usage, but hacking away instead of fixing the problematic project seems somewhat idiotic. I can imagine other tools having problems with a single project that size, are they going to hack those as well?

What do you mean by 'donate money to the company'? Why/for what purpose? There are various ways to bring money into the company, e.g. you can increase the share/base capital of the company. You can also give the company a credit, but careful, it needs to be on conditions you'd give a similar 3rd party. Probably a topic for your tax accountant. If we are talking low-profile, say a UG w/ 1000 Euro base capital, you'd usually increase the baseline capital steadily up to the 25k Euro and turn it into a regular GmbH (though that doesn't really matter a lot unless you want to take on regular credits).
The list of file formats that can trigger the viewer to fetch a resource over the internet is so large that it's impossible to cover them all. Unless you're working with plain text or something you know is safe, don't open files downloaded over Tor if you're running on a standard OS (and not, say, in a whonix workstation that's isolated from direct internet connections).
That's only true where the cost of labor is too high. Go visit a construction site in India and you'll see a lot of tasks done the way you've described above.
Do you feel that any of the bureaucracy creates an undue burden – or one that could possibly thwart a company which would otherwise achieve scale?

I'm asking because the article seems to buy into the narrative that these rules and regulation create an actual obstacle to ventures such as google ever being founded in Germany, and having gone through the process a few times, I can neither find any step of the process that I would consider completely unreasonable (except the chamber of commerce), nor could I imagine it being more than an irrelevant nuisance to any dedicated team.

I also think the 2000 Euro/year you're citing is true only for a company actually doing a fair amount of business and having employees. I'm sure it's less than half that if you're just maintaining the legal structure, or are a single founder before launch – VAT reporting, for example, has threshold below which reporting happens only quarterly or yearly.
No. Kelvin was never intended for this sort of use. ISO dates were.

I do not think that it does work well with OSX.

Autocompletion is on <⌘-;> (spell check) instead of <Esc>, and it works strangely: "$ ls trunk/<cmd-;>" suggests other directories around trunk (like tags and branches), when it should list trunk's contents. Cmd-click on path cannot go to partial path. It also cannot "open in app", only in default app (^cmd-click doesn't help). I always can select or triple-click and "$ open [-a ...] <cmd-v><cr>" to do that; or stop being fool and just type "open ." and do whatever I need right in Finder. Colored tab's colors blend to barely visible when deactivated. Changing color themes in settings does nothing at all.

I'm not arguing that features aren't needed. I'm arguing the hyping of little-to-no working "features" that it tries to sell in place of REAL tools and .files that were there for decades.

I wonder, how does one survive on the "modern" internet in a place like that? I feel i would die a little inside. Seems the only reliable way would be to navigate with everything disabled, even images, and manually (or automatically) allow images that are of certain types (no gifs) / size (not too big) and etc.

I mean, that sounds so bad that i would argue you shouldn't even see the 50mb gif in that page, at all - ie it's your own fault. If your browsing "the web" with such a restrictive data plan you're playing russian roulette. It's only a matter of time before some JS heavy site or some blog with a gif "takes you down". Sure, sites waste a ton of data all over the place, but it's not their responsibility to "protect" you imo. You can't trust others to do that job. The browser vendors should be, or something.

Generally, I do, including other developers and business people etc. But of late, the tensions and general angst at the US political situation etc. has meant that normally calm, rational people have been getting frayed around the edges and retweeting or getting involved in online arguments, so my feed is corrupted by that.

I am no innocent, as I have contributed a bit myself of late - it is hard to suppress that welling of indignation, anger and frustration sometimes.

GVFS, or something like it, is an important development for git. Facebook already implemented something similar for Mercurial[1]. At a glance, GVFS hints that git has become more extensible than it used to be.

The merits of a "monorepo" have been hashed out previously[2], it's more nuanced than "lol, M$".

It seems you have no clue how very big companies work with source code management. Google e.g. is using for the most part only ONE single repository for their source code. So would you also say the same about them?
That's what my first thought. "dick move". But they probably didn't know about it.
This is a great visualization of free data, although not the first in this style, but it's usefulness in actual forecasting or nowcasting is rather limited.

Interpolation between sparse grid points can result in missing fine details, like the subtle boundaries that kick off the most violent storms in the central Plains.

Limiting to just GFS and GEM make sense from a proof of concept level, however these are long range models that play in the 10-16 day range. GFS in particular uses a 13km spaced grid that isn't convection allowing, meaning it can't model individual storms well. GFS is typically only output every 6 hours as well so it can easily get out of sync on forecasts for the day of.

It would be great to see these types of visualizations incorporate something fast and higher resolution like the HRRR or even one of the NAM/WRF 4km variants, but that is a lot more data than what is currently being ingested.

The best weather information (for US citizens) hands down is still your local NWS office. I'd recommend everyone bookmarking their site and following them on social media.

Yes, I am aware that the seizure from natives of the trillions worth of real estate the US is built on is not considered any infringement by libertarians. Their liberty is not worth considering nor defending -- and that comes with the territory of a toy political philosophy that loudly pretends it isn't built utterly upon coercion.
Hardcore people in the security circles do all their serious stuff inside one-use-only virtual machines, once their stuff is done, the machine is deleted and shredded.

We already had the Saturn. If you're saying NASA's other choice was nothing, then it was purely political and if they'd stuck to the science the Air Force would have been told to suck it eventually.

Its very contextual. So the answer is "it depends".

Azure ML will cost you since they have a non free tier in $$ whereas the other tools can scale without that. BUT for the other tools which are free in $$ you need more powerful hardware available as you start using larger datasets.

Also, the ease of use of Azure is a benefit in itself, you don't need to learn any coding library and how to use it - speeds up your iteration loops. So the dev time spent in Azure will be less than others because of how its designed - I am not so sure about using it on a large production level scale though - haven't hit that case yet.

I can't get more specific than this because I don't know what your requirements/constraints are and what sort of resources are available to you.
Thanks for the procedure. Exactly what I needed !

I think the problem here (with this conversation) is what I call "All roads lead to GMF[1]".

You can't explain things based on an entire economy without taking into account the entire economy, and all it's parts and interactions; much like, say, blood-sugar levels in the body involve multiple organs.

If you focus on one area of the economy, you must avoid those 'non-local' attributes, unless you are willing to do this. If you analyse the attributes of any local economic part enough, you will eventually hit upon a non-local attribute; Hence, any analysis eventually hits this roadblock.

Back to context, the specific effect of H1B visas, on national salary is complicated, because salary not only is non-local, but involves the silent interactions of supply vs demand across and outside the nation. You'll hit all sorts of GM-like fallacies if your analysis is too shallow.

This is why it is necessary to take it, almost as 'faith', in the mechanics of the market; A true analysis of market principles is a complex process indeed, most people can only take them on faith at some level. Even mathematicians accept some (personally) unchecked axioms.

Estonia is big on e-government and have apparently made the process of registering an llc really easy. That attracts all sorts of people for whom it makes a difference if the process costs $100 or $110. And that is – as a group – self-selecting for people you can't necessarily trust as much as others. The same mechanism is at work with British LLCs. Those became somewhat famous (being first in this market) because they were often used by people who couldn't start a company in their native country – most often because of messy bankruptcies that can get barred from trying again for certain periods.
