Killer network.
Taking about Belgium, I often suspect that they have an extra level of difficulty there due to the bifurcated national identity. What identity could newcomers assimilate into? You won't be particularly drawn to feeling Wallonian if you live in Brussels speaking French and even less to feeling Flandrian. I guess there isn't much Belgianness left if you are neither, so people are more or less predispositioned to stick to whatever parody of their original background they can still piece together.

I sense a similar difficulty in my native Germany, where so much of the current national identity is defined by feeling bad for something your grandparents maybe did (or by violently refusing to do so), that the absence of it in non-descendants of that generation is causing a noticeable "identity gap" even generations after immigration. This kind of stuff causes zero problems for those who have goals and education and achievement, but everybody else occasionally leans on group identity and will take whatever fits best.

P.S. I've actually come tho think that whatever ridiculous (from the German perspective, yes, totally ridiculous, if not outright scary) business Americans do with flags does serve a purpose after all. It gives both established and new Americans confidence that the new ones can belong, easing the process for everyone involved.
This is super useful. I'd wager 80% of API's are single data API's and Hasura would speed up development time by a significant factor while still allowing for more flexibility than just building on top of something like Parse. I think eventually most API's will use managed frameworks like this or go serverless so that a lot of the repetitive wiring code is abstracted out.
> Doesn't North Korea has ICBM missiles capable of reaching Italy or Washington DC?

Not quite. The longest-range operational missiles they have are intermediate-range only, capable at best of reaching targets in Guam and Siberia. They've test-launched a few longer-ranged missiles as technology demonstrators, but even the best of these (the Taepodong-2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taepodong-2) only had enough range to reach India or Alaska.

IIRC, weapon ownership in India was pretty common during the Raj. The British then introduced something called the Arms Act, I don't recall the correct name though, which forbid civilians from opening firearms and even edged weapons like swords. Also there are some districts in UP where per capita gun ownership is extremely high.

Your narrative of British invasion of India is plain wrong. Also if the USG decided to become a tyranny there is nothing that the citizenry can do about it in this far and age. Guns or no guns.
It's pretty easy to see which is correct. It's a game of imperfect information. There's zero reason to show your hand to the other player as it just backs you into a corner.

The only rationale for giving out any information is to not waste your time but I'd argue it should go in the other direction. Make them say what the salary range is. If it's out of line, then bid them good day. If they don't want to provide it till the end of the interview / offer, then you decide if it's worth your time to deal with them. Clearly they're willing to take the risk of being blown off at the end.
The problem is not that people pays to much taxes, but that they use the tax agency as a save account to earn a 0.5% rate. A lot better than my 0% at SEB.
Every single thing Cloudflare has said about impact has sounded very suspiciously optimistic to me. For example, they claim that they would know if an attacker had been intentionally exploiting this bug, but I've seen no details to justify their confidence.

So no, I don't think we can assume that the scope was as limited as they're making out.

Edit: As my coworker points out, as of 2013, they only kept 4 hours of access logs (source: https://blog.cloudflare.com/what-cloudflare-logs/). So basically their existing attack detection infrastructure (built without knowledge of this bug) may not have found anything suspicious, but it appears that that's the extent of what they can say about the last few months. They can claim that they found no evidence within the last week (one hopes that they stopped discarding logs when they found out about the attack), but if they want to convince us that they know this wasn't being exploited as late as two weeks ago, they need to provide specific evidence.
It's dangerous if you read "fasting can cure your diabetes", when the article is about mice.

For the record, I have friends that are fasting, and family members with diabetes.

If you have diabetes you can't fast without correcting the dosage of insulin that you're taking. If, for example, you take a normal dosage of insulin, but fail to consume the corresponding amount of sugars, your blood glucose level will start decreasing. Soon you will faint, and your level will still go down. Next step is coma, and finally death. So yes, I consider this dangerous.

The article also says "People are advised not to try this without medical advice.", to reiterate that it is dangerous.

What complexities of build processes?!

Building Javascript files with modules and deps is a solved problem. We've built all sorts of other file types and compiled them and linked them before with tools like Make, SCons and other tools. It's ridiculous to think that JavaScript is a unique language that needs its own build tools. It does not.

We went down the wrong path years ago when we decided that whenever we use a language we also need to use tools written in that language. Grunt, gulp, webpack and the rest should go away.
"In any activity, hidden details are only revealed via Lindy-style experience."

For green lumber the hidden details that determine price (as exploited by the successful trader) are only apparent after some time (that exists after the knowledgeable guy exited the market via bankruptcy). The argument that is that these hidden details are fundamental to determining price so likely indicate a power-law distribution of remaining utility (basically if you've been successful for 50 years you will continue to be successful for another 50).

So oddly he says that past performance determines future success (until it doesn't).

If you look at why the districts are drawn the way they are they kind of make sense.

For instance, the fourth district looks ridiculous:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois%27s_4th_congressional...

The funky shape ensures that minorities get representation though. The weird path it takes is because of the 7th district, which I live in, which is 54% black. If it was cut any farther East, black people would be a minority.

I think the shape is a bit ridiculous, but it would be possible to make a more fair looking shape that had a white majority in each district, so I think this is the lesser of two evils. There is probably a better way to district this area though, but proportional representation would make the entire situation a bit less ridiculous overall.
A simple answer would be: the Natural Numbers can be axiomatized infinitely many different isomorphic ways in First Order Theories. Which one is the "right" one? None and according to FOM wisdom you shouldn't care.
In Higher Order Theories there is a very straightforward and natural way to define the Natural Numbers. Could you create other isomorphic axiomatizions? Yes but they certainly wouldn't be as pleasant and straightforward...

Why hasn't Git switched to SHA-2? People have been warning that SHA-1 is vulnerable for over a decade, but that vulnerability was dismissed with a lot of hand-waving over at Git. Is it a very difficult technical problem to switch, or just a problem of backward compatibility for existing repos (i.e., it would be expensive to change everything over)?

As someone who is a video pro, cutting commercials in NYC and LA (and former post facility engineer), I'm not seeing it. I don't know of one editor or post facility that has moved from Mac to Windows or Unix. One River Media (the co. that posted the blogpost about switching) is using Davinci Resolve as an NLE, a far more niche choice than cutting in FCPX. Resolve is a color correcting tool (a very popular one that I've used to color grade features) that has added editing support. I've yet to meet anyone in the wild using it for editing.

Even the editors I know that cut on Adobe Premiere which is available for both PC and Mac aren't switching from Mac, which honestly has surprised me a bit because of the greater choice in hardware. But for most video editors at this level, you're just trading speed in one area for problems in another. Editors whine and complain every time there is a tiny change in the interfaces they use, they hate change. They have been forced to embrace FCP and Premiere over the years (and complain about it incessantly). Very few will choose to make the jump to Windows for the same reason.

As you step down the ladder, the move will make sense for some. Your all-in-one facilities or one man bands (production and all aspects of post handled by one or two people). But in my experience, this group has already been heavily invested in the Windows side because of the cheaper initial costs (that money you save early will be spent later and the Windows post-house will cost as much or more than a comparable Mac post-house, at least it did when I was an engineer).

And the other aspects of video post production, the CG, 3D and compositing sectors already heavily lean toward Windows or Linux and have for over a decade.

There just isn't a huge need for massive speed increases in the hardware side for most video editors. We've gone from needing very fast, high end systems with fast (and expensive) SAN storage to laptops and SSDs that allow us to do more, faster than ever. iMacs or MacBook Pros are all the average editor needs, with more and more working remotely from home. I cut a project for the NBA over the holidays on the first gen USB-C MacBook and years ago cut a project for REEBOK on the just released MacBook Air. Both these projects came up unexpectedly while I was traveling but went off without a hitch on underpowered hardware (that I bought for web surfing and writing).

That's not to say that I wouldn't appreciate (and most likely purchase) a new and expandable Mac workstation. But for the most part, I'd be spending money to just spend money. It wouldn't speed up 98% of my job. And that other 2 percent isn't slow enough to cause me any issues.

I have gone through this thread and given a downvote to every post that's giving dangerously-incorrect medical advice. Which seems to be most of them.

I don't expect anyone who's actually diabetic to fall for this; every T1 diabetic is in practice forced to become an expert. But, for the sake of confused bystanders: for a diabetic using insulin, fasting is dangerous. That's not an abundance of caution thing; we diabetics micromanage a key part of our metabolism using insulin, and if we leave the range of metabolic states we're familiar with we'll get insulin dosages wrong. The most likely outcome of trying to fast for a day would be being forced to abort the fast by hypoglycemia.

I can't understand what's going on with the Python community for folks to even make statements like yours. It has to be an influx of new Python developers who started on 3.

Python2 has unicode support. Python2 already had (better) async IO with Gevent (Tornado is also there). There's just nothing there with Python3 except what I can only describe as propaganda from the Python Software Foundation that has led to outright ignorance with many users.

Some people wanted "unicode strings by default". Which Python3 does have, but they even got that wrong. The general consensus on how to handle this correctly is to make everything a bytestring and assume the encoding as being UTF8 by default. Then like Python2, it just works.

The question I contemplate is where we draw the line of what social engagement is above the bar acceptability. (To answer my own question, I typically consider "disclosure" the answer to that))
Can you explain that experience more? Are you not using any sort of module system?

If you're simply concatenating files together, Webpack is decidedly the wrong tool. The magic that Webpack does is understand what you're require()ing and automagically just make a bundle for you. Point it at your project root, and you get a bundle.
If you live in Massachusetts it's now illegal for a perspective employer to ask this question as part of your interviewing process:

I had a horrible phone interview with a company where the recruiter refused to continue until I told them how much I made at my current job. I suspect that they were more interested in a salary survey than actually hiring someone.
It's a shame this has happened. It used to that aggregated news was the best news because it wasn't opinionated. It also didn't need to focus on the big ticket items (murder, sex, drugs) like newspapers, as sales weren't a concern, so you have science, tech, and I kid you not, actual good news to read about!

But now with the pay-to-get-upvotes scams going on, we get utterly biased and even ridiculous stories constantly on the front page. And how to even start on the comments, which just read like blurbs to the title. A great example on the front page at the moment:

"Donald Trump's war on media is 'biggest threat to democracy' says Navy Seal who brought down Osama Bin Laden".

I almost feel like this stuff is AI generated at this point, just throwing together keywords that get clicks. As someone across the pond looking in, the bias is laughable obvious. I just hope that more people realise that manipulation is present, and remember not to believe everything they read.

I've never had much luck with this approach. It sucks to get through the interview process and find out that you're asking for $XX,000 more than they are willing to pay for the position. I now prefer to state up-front how much I want, rather than wasting time getting an offer for ten+ thousand less than I want and only have HR willing to come up a few grand.

I'm sure many people have applied this technique to great success, but I have strong doubts that it's universal. Maybe it's because I never bring much to the table, or that I live in an area where "market" salaries are not affordable for companies.

I do this. It's a good strategy in most circumstances, but you do need to be careful. On one occasion it killed the whole process because the company refused to go further with the interview on the basis they assumed they wouldn't be able to afford me. I think they just wanted cheap developers. If you don't have other places to apply to or you're applying somewhere you really want to join, it does come with some risk.

Skylake is an amazing upgrade, more so than even the Haswell bump. Beyond just the clock-for-clock kind of improvements, AVX512 is a huge win for many vectorized workloads (see my other comment about waiting nearly 10 years for it...). Linear algebra (or ML if you prefer), rendering, and even string operations (operating on 512-bits per instruction is a win over 256) are all a lot faster.
> I'm still baffled by claims that Windows 10 has a good desktop UI when I see its iconography [1], huge click (touch) targets [2], and wildly inconsistent use of whitespace [3].

This almost reads as sarcasm. Some people really don't care about those things, and using them as examples of why you're baffled just highlights that disconnect between you and them. I don't use any bundled windows apps, and I'm rarely in the settings (and I just search for what setting I want), so iconography and whitespace design decisions in windows apps don't even factor into it for me.

Neither OS X nor Windows feel as comfortable as my customized FVWM config did, but windows gets a lot closer nowadays. I had to use OS X at work for a few years and it always grated.

> That's not even mentioning the forced updates

It's possible to disable them, you just have to put some effort into it (it requires regedit). I think this is the right decision. If you want to disable updates and you don't know how to change a registry setting, then for the good of us all, the answer is no.

The tracking is a valid concern though.

iPhones have "blown up" before. The problem Samsung had was several units of the device started going "up in smoke." If that starts to happen with the iPhone 7 then that'll be a different story but so far this is an isolated incident. Though as I wrote this I got to thinking if Apple does start experiencing more widespread issues then that might help pinpoint the issues Samsung was having. To my knowledge their engineers have never determined the root cause - which doesn't exactly instill confidence in consumers.

It literally takes years of practice for children to speak well. Maybe it's natural but we tend to dismiss the difficulty because it happens early.

I'm not sure how anyone can think discussions on reddit are not manipulated at this point. If you watch carefully, you see the exact same verbiage used from multiple accounts on the same topic used to steer conversations. And as new responses come up, there will be a multi-hour delay, then new verbiage will get posted simultaneously to multiple accounts. There is clearly behind-the-scenes writing efforts going on, then being distributed to accounts. And if I see this just as a casual observer, I can only imagine what you would find if you really dug deep.
