> My definition of a friend is someone you can rely on when things goes to shit eg... Being half way across the country and you've just been robbed and they drive 20 hours to pick you up.

Yes, that's one possible quality in a friend. Another is making time for _their_ shit as well and it doesn't sound like the author did very much of that. It's also nice to make time for friends without having to deal with either yours or their dilemmas and just enjoy each other's company.
Paired with socked sandals ofc...
It's useful to, for instance, run your test suite against an in-memory database like sqlite or hsql, but use a "real" database in production.
I would think it would be demoralizing, over time, to work on ambitious projects that turn out to never be fielded. (See also the linked stories on Titan and Wing, e.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-11/alphabet-...) One of the draws of working for a bigcorp is that your work has the power of the organization behind it, to help it succeed.
You can smell meat that is rotting. You can't smell most bacterial contamination, and some of these can be fatal.

For example, fresh chicken will smell fine, but a lot of it (in Europe) is contaminated with campylobater.

https://www.food.gov.uk/science/microbiology/campylobacterev...

> We carried out a survey of campylobacter in chicken on retail sale in the UK between May 2007 and September 2008, and it reported that campylobacter was present in 65% of the fresh chicken samples tested. A European Union baseline survey carried out in 2008, and published by European Food Safety Authority in March 2010, showed the UK estimated prevalence for campylobacter in broiler batches (caecal contents) was 75.3% and 86.3% in broiler carcasses (skin samples). These results were above the weighted EU mean prevalences of 71.2% and 77% respectively. There was a wide range of campylobacter prevalence across members states varying from 4.9% to 100% in broiler carcasses and from 2% to 100% in broiler batches.
Any speculation as to what might happen in that situation if your password is non-trivial and not with you?

An example to support your view might be the switch to the trend of paying to use server resources like a utility. Centralized resource managed by people other than users that ran many parties' workloads with metered CPU, RAM, etc usage. Then, the various devices access it through a standard UI instead of native apps recoded in many OS's. Quicker setup for new users than rolling their own. Increased flexibility with the virtualization. Better physical and online security due to the centralized monitoring.

On the software side, people found that safety, scalability, and maintenance were important. They needed high-level languages that did things like bounds-checks or stack protection. They needed the ability to freeze and inspect errant programs instead of crash them. They needed the software interfaces to check for right data being passed. They needed to scale on multiple CPU's. They preferred their OS's to come with source code for easier fixes or extensions.

Im sure you know all about those two mainframes from IBM (1963-1970's) and Burroughs (1961) that did those things. Then came to power most large business and government institutions critical apps to this day. Anyway, I hear people made incremental improvements doing similar things with x86, Linux, and vastly lower cost-per-resource. Incremental improvements on capabilities that took off in the 60's. ;)
> why this next iteration of the Rust Programming Language book has been developed relatively hidden away from new folks, who have to continue using the old book unless they stumble upon the new one somehow

Because it is not done yet.
Imo the prick and the boasting all have the insecurity at its root. Even his opening sentence implies this.

Also:

>That’s great and all, however when someone with money talks about these things to someone who is struggling to pay rent, you come across as a tone deaf asshole.

The very fact that these (peripheral) subjects come up in conversation points to that insecurity, which is independent from however much means a person may have.

The moments when I am boastful or condescending are the moments where my insecurities bubble up to the surface, and I always regret my petty words afterwords.

That is a terrible way to run a business.
Thanks, this is a great comment.
What would you do if you have an account but haven't used it for many years, lost your access to the email that you registered it with and don't remember the password. Are you genuinely a liar then?
Yes. I'll add that Google's initial goal of a search engine that is actually helpful (not just algorithmically, but without clutter and without paid-placement) was plenty inspiring... especially for great developers. And, being more concrete than their general abstract corporate mission statement, it was actually more inspiring.

I want to add the mechanism of success-due-to-toy: incumbents dismiss you, not as incompetent, but as irrelevant to them. You're not stealing their customers, because you're meeting a different need, and are worse at what their customers want - further, the incubents couldn't fight you even if they wanted to, because they can't afford to desert their customers.

Then, over time, you improve til you are good enough for their customers - while stll meeting those other needs. The exodus begins.
Who does what with what?
I agree. With that given, this week, I published a rust tutorial based on my first completed project:. http://daringordon.com/rust_tutorials

I'm actually OK with this. The screens are generally of very poor quality. If they replace them with USB ports, that's all we need!

I'd like to see airlines install some universal holders for various tablets/phones. I'm happy to see the terrible systems go, but holding a phone or propping it up on the tray table wasn't a perfect alternative.

Now that Netflix allows me to download content to my devices, I have no need for the inflight entertainment systems or the new wireless systems they are talking about in this article.
> relatively hidden away from new folks,

We talk about it quite a bit on IRC, on Twitter, in the forums/Reddit, and elsewhere. I've specifically put the text out in front of new people to get feedback.

> why is the strategy to complete the new book entirely before moving over?

This is not _strictly speaking_ true, but it's been blocked on some other things. We haven't been able to use mdBook, the tool we use for the new book, inside the Rust repository until two days ago[1]. This was due to a number of factors that had nothing to do with the book.

Soon[2], we'll be able to actually present both books on the website, and so this will be messaged a bit better.

> If the new one has such big gaps that it can't stand on its own,

Well, I mean, we started from scratch. The full first draft isn't even done yet! When's the right time for this, after one chapter is done? Two? Five? It's a tough question, but the actual nuts and bolts of the build process made that question moot, and now that it's 75% done by chapter count, it's all just kind of working out.

Does that all make sense?

I'm more sure that wealthy people tend to be insiders than the professional non-wealthy. Once you've acquired enough to be considered wealthy, you care about the stability of currencies, banking systems, countries at least to the degree that it preserves your own wealth.

Adversarial examples are just one way to prove that deep learning (deep convolutional nets) fail at generalizable vision. It's not a security problem, it's a fundamental problem.

Instead, ask yourselves why these deep nets fail after being trained on huge datasets -- and why even more data doesn't seem to help.

The short answer is that mapping directly from static pixel images to human labels is the wrong problem to be solving.

With the tight knit control over the full conglomerate Samsung gained to acquire the pinnacle of success on these corrupt deeds done which seem to be drastic to even those who are working, since time changes and people also change. This is a huge blow to SK and Samsung no matter how we dissect it.

They should get their control back and try to explore better paths to success with the same zeal else the catastrophic foreign pressure (who I also think is the reason behind this) might cause Implosion in the SK-Samsung or chaebols. Japan has this Enterprise Keidanren for damage control over this recent Toshiba's scandal causing a spiral downfall.

Also most countries split opinions based off the younger vs old generations cause tiny fractures which in some cases lead to devastating losses..
If it was anything like my school (although we did have proper IT course in the final 2 years) they don't even teach kids to use word well. It's just rote memorization of a specific version of word. We learned much more about computers trying to get games to work on DOS because we had to do stuff like enable extended memory.

In the US we have discount "grocery stores" in lower income neighborhoods that pretty much exclusively sell stuff that is past or very close to it's best by date. I agree it's less common to see a discount bin in a normal grocery store, but if you're in a more working class neighborhood you might find a rack that has stuff that they're not longer stocking, old bread, or dented boxes and cans.
You're absolutely right but you're not answering my objection.

the point you're making is exactly the reason for the cliche of 'money wont buy you happiness". it is the thought that buying these things (that give us momentary happiness) will equate to long term happiness. in 20,30,40 years, how airconditioned your apartment was (or wasn't) will have little bearing on your overall level of happiness at that point.

also, your last few sentences contradict what you wrote earlier. you said you don't get unhappy unless theres a specific reason, right after you gave 3 examples of you being unhappy without a real reason.
There are lots of different orbits. The ISS is 250 miles away, which shouldn't cause much of a latency problem. Of course, it's a compromise between the number of satellites and the latency.
You can be made unhappy by a lack of necessary things, but you reach a point, pretty early on, where additional money doesn't budge the happiness meter.
They don't talk about shields or other measures to limit light pollution sideways and upwards, but there is at least a mention of effects on Lick Observatory and other dark-sky fans.

I remember past light-pollution contributors, such as the switch from mercury to high-pressure sodium lighting 30+ years ago. Eventually, the city started installing downward-reflective shields as they changed bulbs or performed maintenance.
In the US (at least in some states) there are discount grocery stores that buy truckloads of expired products from the major retailers and sell them off cheap. Tend to exist in lower income areas.

Some of the stuff is years out of date. A surprising percentage of people don't even look at the date.
Well, we kind of know Chung's philosophy on business and life. A 2014 Facebook posting of hers was "discovered" after she got infamous, and it was a goldmine:

Good riddance. I've turned off the screen on every flight I've been on because I don't like commercials and glare in my face for hours at a time. That makes the planes which reboot their entertainment system (and implicitly turn the screen back on) 3-4 times during takeoff and ascent particularly annoying to me in particular.

And now he can write another one, about how much crap he got from people when he took his story to medium.
I think using VMs or something like Vagrant is a much better solution to that problem. You generally don't want to test against something that's drastically different than what you run in production.
AFAIK, fMRI scans are rarely of diagnostic utility in psychiatric disorders due to individual variances. Seriously, where you process parts of speech floats around in different places.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging is like taking a heat map of a CPU, they have become high resolution but you can only figure out what functional components of the CPU have been active after a circuit has been running for a very long time. Then you have the arduous task of reverse engineering the algorithm running on that wetware. Now throw in a bunch of variables such as age....

Things might have changed, but we are still a long way out.

It isn't that he isn't trying. It's that it's clear that despite trying, he still isn't seeing it.

He talks about being a "pretty good" listener but, not catching the fact that people he respects and admires feel like he's constantly talking down to them.

It's an easy trap to fall into and I imagine a hard one to get out of (not because I'm not an asshole but, because I'm not rich enough to say that I'm in his position).

He just clearly doesn't understand himself. Startup culture looks at this thing called exiting as the very hard thing that very few people do sucessfully and then we look at the few that do it as some kind of oracle. We want answers to hard questions and automatically think that people that achieved success have found it.

Maybe he isn't this business savant and maverick. Maybe he just got lucky and the momentum of that took him over the line into success. I'm not saying it was easy but, maybe his success isn't because of the things he thinks it is.
Our codebase at work has hundreds if not thousands of LINQ queries, mostly using method syntax. I generally prefer it over query syntax except in a few cases, such when there's multiple joins or subqueries, or the when the statement is more than a few dozen lines. Occasionally a very complex LINQ statement requires using a `let` declaration which also is easier with query syntax. Luckily Resharper has an action to convert back and forth on the fly, so it's easy to use that to switch over when necessary.

I also don't use LINQ to SQL at all. It's all on in-memory stuff. I pretty much never write code like this:

var result = new List<string>();
foreach (var item in input)
{
result.Add(item.Value);
}
return result;

instead, using LINQ:

return items.Select(x => x.Value);

The real power comes when you start mixing conditions:

return items
.Where(x => IsValidKey(x.Key))
.Select(x => x.Value);

Or doing quick checks:

if (items.Any(x => x == null || x.SomeValue == null))
throw new InvalidArgumentException(nameof(items));

Proof that a warrant canary is useless.
On numerics: there are entire textbooks at a relatively elementary level (no differential geometry) with titles like "Simulating Hamiltonian dynamics". At the end of the day, verifying that a discrete map (approximating a Hamiltonian system) is symplectomorphic is a matter of linear algebra.

On theory: there are a couple of good lectures by Dusa McDuff on YouTube; she also has a short tutorial-like PDF somewhere googleable.

Which is why people need to be here every thread explaining the problems with Go.
The utility analogy is superficially attractive but makes no economic sense. Utilities have far lower investment needs and stable rather than exploding demand. Also, even then our utilities are massively underfunded. Regulated rates are just too low, resulting in aging water and sewer pipes and transmission lines. Our power grid is crumbling: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=90321. Our ancient sewer systems are dumping raw sewage into our waterways every time it rains. Old lead pipes are poisoning our kids.

The government funding you point to is a drop in the bucket compared to the costs imposed on the industry. The USF tax is $8 billion per year. State and local governments levy $6 billion in franchise fees annually (for a franchise that is by law non-exclusive). Your report points to a few hundred million in one time payments here and there. Also, remember that those payments are against the background of a universal service obligation. The government can legally prevent a telecom from exiting an unprofitable market. They may or may not provide some subsidy, but the obligation to provide service isn't contingent on getting a subsidy.
It's in the US too however it's in lower cost areas. For example, a small rural town in Wisconsin has a bargain store that often gets these kinds of items from Costco and major markets like NYC and Chicago (it's obvious by the ethnic grocery items). Obviously, one small store isn't enough to sell it all so there must be quite a few of these spread out over the country in lower cost of living areas where rent is cheap for low margin small retail.
Ask HN: How are you solving the microservices data problem?

It seems to me that it did its job here. The only thing a warrant canary claims to be able to do is to make people aware that a warrant was served on a provider, even when a gag order prevents the provider explicitly saying so. The warrant canary at riseup disappeared, which did have the effect of making people aware of that fact.

Now it turned out that the warrant was just for some malware-extortion ring, not due to a crackdown on political dissidents, so arguably a "false positive" from the perspective of what most people using riseup for its stated purpose care about. But the warrant canary didn't claim to make those kinds of fine-grained distinctions in the first place. It claimed that it would let you know when there was an unannounced warrant, and it succeeded in doing so.
Scale != performance, in the narrow aspect that you seem to be considering.

Lots of data, parallel queries, high-availability, replication, multi-master, etc are all instances that require true distributed scalability.
It does make sense to do this, more countries need to stand up and say if you treat our citizens this way we are going treat yours the same. I mean the travelers interact with border control and the citizens are the only ones who legitimately can bring these complains to their border agencies. Ultimately it comes to be that citizens need to defend non-citizens rights and "reciprocity" policy might be effective because most people only act on their selfish interests.
