You have to draw a hard line on cheating. Else it all falls apart. This person is not 'nuanced'. They are a calculating conniver, a con, a selfish calculating persistent cheat. The 'I'm sorry' letter reads like a con trying another tack.

Cons are very skilled at manipulating the audience. They want exactly the reaction the 'forgive and forget' crowd are giving them.
Yep. Tricked-out gaming rigs catching up with the heavy-iron graphics workstations was hugely disruptive. Low-overhead boutiques could suddenly do the same work as high-overhead facilities. But then you blinked, and the same work was happening in no-overhead places like The Director's Living Room.
I think you're right: including NGINX in the summary is a distraction, and highlighting it as a link makes the wrong implication. I'm a developer at Monzo, so I've tweaked the blog post to remove the reference. Thanks!
I would describe the command line support in OSX to be sub-par to what is offered in Windows. The terminal itself feels like a toy compared to the Windows 10 command prompt. And posix doesn't seem to hold a candle to Powershell.

Thanks for following up! Those are some of my gripes with the language too. The vendoring system/would-be package manager especially has caused me hours of headaches, and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who considers it broken.
If you're worried about Apple's survivability, I suggest you dig deep for where your model of how the world works broke.

Microsoft beat Apple for a decade, then Apple beat Microsoft. Both companies are still around, making fortunes. Even Yahoo's still around.
Often, people like this don't have the right to bear arms. It's not described whether the victim was a permanent resident but considering when he graduated from college, I think it's reasonable to say that he wasn't.

Being an Indian national, he would have had to have waited 8 years or more to become a permanent resident. In that time, he would have had his visa renewed repeatedly. His visa is likely to have been an H1-B.

I suppose, then, the questions are: Are you in favour of foreigners in America bearing arms? Or are you in favour of a faster permanent residency process?

Both of those things are the only real way that the victim could have legally carried a firearm.
Except that cheats must be exposed and excoriated, for all our sakes.
Doesn't stop people from asking these questions of people at all levels. I still get asked these coding questions pretty much every interview I have had, and I have almost a decade of programming experience, and have even been lead programmer on some projects (without the title).

I've been asked a barrage of these questions for senior positions, even.

Especially sucks because I don't usually program terribly fast or well in an interview environment, so I look worse than I actually am, and often get put on the defensive in these interviews, which I absolutely hate.

Rtc: rk808: Compensate for Rockchip calendar deviation on November 31st
The cost isn't the only issue though. You still have to somehow get to the DMV to get it and oops many Texas DMVs were closed in poorer Democrat leaning areas so it's now a time consuming and expensive journey to go get it. Might be an hour or two away but you can't miss your minimum wage job during business hours or no rent money so what are you going to do? Or say you're old and impoverished and don't have your birth certificate now its a huge problem to get that id. Might be you have to travel to another state and go through a DMV like process to get a copy first and again you don't have the means or time.

Texas' strict voter ID requirement was struck down in the courts last summer precisely because of these reasons. It was found that the law, despite free IDs significantly disadvantages black and latino voter's in the state who are much more likely to have issues like above. Didn't stop polling place workers in some areas though some of whom still turned people away based on the non-existent requirement.

A lot of economists have a vested interest in pretending that the following policies are generically, speciously "bad for the economy", because reasons:

* Raising corporate income tax (if you argue for this you won't get many job offers from generously funded corporate think tanks).

* Raising the minimum wage (likewise).

>Remember, virtually every job there is comes from some sort of corporation.

If you take a dollar from corporate profits and give it to the government they will spend it, creating jobs.

If you take a dollar from corporate profits and give it to a low wage worker in the form of a minimum wage hike, they will spend it, creating jobs.

If you take a dollar from corporate profits and distribute it as dividends, it will likely be re-used to bid up the stock market or the price of property and won't be spent, which is bad for economic growth and everybody who isn't rich (story of the last 10 years).

If you take a dollar from corporate profits, corporations will spend another dollar on a think tank who will put out some kind of specious reasoning about why taking money from them is bad.

If you take a dollar from corporate profits, they'll threaten to shut down and make everybody unemployed out of spite. That's what's known as an "empty threat" when corporate profits are at record highs (which they are).
Why doesn't this logic work in the rest of the developed world?
While it should be applauded that they responded promptly, it needs to be remembered that this is a regulated, licensed bank that proxied sensitive customer information via a (now compromised) third-party. We should expect this kind of disclosure from such organisations, not be surprised by it.

Yes, that is kind of funny way of saying that there's no reason why Python 2 and Python 3 can't coexist other than the Python project's incompetence and arrogance. Obviously it's theoretically possible to run Python 2 in Python 3, but until they do it then they have decided to say that Python 3 cannot run one other Turing complete language so logically Python 3 is not Turing complete. I should also mention that as stupid as that sounds, actual Python project developers have told me this, so it's their position that their own language is not Turing complete.
Some reasons:

* Nobody required this from them before.

* Recursion is rarely used to write business logic, most common thing programmers write and learn. Same for static methods and being generic.

* Type checking is done by compiler for them, so no surprise that they don't know how to do it.

* Relatively few people go beyond minimal, so adoption of is java 8 is low

Overall, it looks like a good question to pick up the best developers - assuming this is what you want.

Seconded. For example, here is CloudFlare's Chief Technology Officer regarding their response time:

"[Tavis, the Google engineer who discovered this bug, is] saying he’s frustrated but I’m a little bemused at why he’s frustrated with six days rather than 90" [1].

CloudFlare's CTO shouldn't be running around doing interviews with TechCrunch, let alone expressing bemusement about a fire from his camp.

Why should it not be both? "I hate non-white immigrants and I want them to get out of my country, and will use deadly force on a random subset of them in order to scare the others into leaving or not coming here" is both a racist and a political statement.
"People with racist views were doing terrible things before Trump" -> Yes, but now with support from white supremacists inside WH (Bannon, Miller) and a President with concordant views, the racists are feeling emboldened to commit the hate crimes. The devil is out of the bottle.
Works great, I like this approach much better than the variants that I've seen, this is exactly what I was hoping to see. It's simple, concise, imposes nothing on you, ships with good presets (from what I've seen so far), still extensible. Nice work!
Definately 3.
The founders have a fiduciary duty to all existing shareholders (angels, early employees, etc.) to exactly be pursuing VC3 at the same time as VC2, before anything is signed, and to take the best deal. They already have no choice.

Your point about herd behavior is well taken, though. And the result is that the VCs moan and groan, but ultimately the price goes up, and the entrepreneur wins, because they get the best valuation possible. (I've been in the room as an angel investor, and I was sure happy when the valuation went up 25% when a second VC got interested in the B round.)

The only counter-argument I can see is, in your example, if Sequoia's money really is greener than fooVC's (which there are long-standing arguments for and against).

Huh, interesting, I think he's right on both ends.

1) I think nuclear is superior to renewables.

2) I think taxing automation would work because it could kickstart some sort of measure such as UBI. Automate enough and you need to tax more per productivity instead of per worker, beause you'll eventually be forced to implement UBI.

Something I wrote previously: "I tend to agree it would be a very good ideea. Initially, it would disincentivise automation a little longer and minimum wage could be raised a little more (and that's something I never thought I'd say, that is a good ideea to DISincentivize automation, I'be always been of the oppinion that automation is exceptionally usefull and be used asm much as possible, but the life-shock of people affected by it would be lowered somewhat, temporarily, by taxing it) and after a while, when it becomes standard norm and automations slowly takes over more jobs,it could be used to feed programs such as UBI. The ideea might have some merit."
It is a nonprofit after all, I would much rather have them have the patent than a biotech company.

Oh, he's a horrible person anyways, let alone the misleading and very damaging "help" of signalling to users there's no security problem.

That above is a pretty harsh thing to allege. So here's proof, from his own mouth.

First, he continually berates because "he called and Brian Krebs never responded".. Well, he invited him on stage of a BlackHat conference.

Secondly, the cloudflare CEO states that the booters (ddos pay-as-you-go sites protected by cloudflare) don't even pay, or pay with stolen credit cards. And admits is "just a disaster".

Thridly, a direct insult towards Krebs onstage "Well, who needs to actually ask questions as a journalist?" 48:08 ... No. Just no. Absolutely not.

And if I can find the post, Matthew Prince on here posted this video as a defence against a Tor dispute. Somehow, he thinks it's somehow enlightened and upright. My opinion, I don't believe so at all.

We all do basically the same thing in every app ever, it's the fragmentation that is such a huge pain with JavaScript. Most apps don't have to be unique snowflakes, we make them that way with hacky css-in-js and so on.

Webpack is great for what it is, but I strongly disagree that people should have to understand the config boilerplate aspect to get something functioning. All it does is prevent you from doing real work, not to mention if you're working on dozens of apps, this quickly becomes a hellish thing to deal with.
That seems a bit pedantic. If you're taxing "hammers," you're taxing the owner of the hammer, either at the point of sale, or perhaps as a tax on capital equipment. So, if you're taxing "robots," you have to define "robot" and then collect tax at the time of sale, or on capital equipment.

This whole idea (limiting a new tax to robots or the work they do) seems fraught with disaster. I think it'd make more sense to increase tax on both liquid capital and capital equipment to make the whole scheme

Also, terrorism as you're defining it has always existed.

Bathed as we are in a boiling soup of constant media manipulation, we can't trust our gut reactions to anything that the MIC care about, especially terrorism. As a bias check, consider all the many causes of death that have caused and do cause far more deaths than terrorism.

> Filters are used all the time in C++.

The problem is that you need a vastly more complex machinery to cover all the various ways to avoid copying/reference counting and then still don't have a general solution when you can't avoid multiple ownership (unless you count std::shared_ptr with its very high overhead).

As I said before, it's not that you can't do it, it's that there are costs associated with it.

You can filter arrays also and allocating cons cells for a list is pretty cheap with a modern GC, as discussed before.

>Then what? THEN they go back to the border and they create their own communities? How can you __actually__ make that many people leave?

I never claimed the system is perfect because there is no perfect system for such complex problems.

>No, but the fact is these refugees are not able to contribute to the societies they come to in a meaningful way. For instance, in Germany only 1 in 10,000 refugees that arrived last year are employed.

That's because they are legally not allowed to work until their status has been cleared. It's not a matter of them "not wanting to work", it's a matter of not having the right status to work.

The other alternative, one that many populist right-wingers are advocating for, is forcing them to work even when their refugee status is still not cleared up.

But that would actually wreck havoc on labor wages because then you'd suddenly have created a whole new class of people that would work far below average wages just to "justify" their stay in the country. Do I really need to spell out what that would mean for the average low-income worker in the country? Average wages would be pushed even lower than they already are, which has already been a growing problem in Germany for over a decade.

There are no easy solutions to any of this, people who claim there are easy solutions are simply deluding themselves about the long-term ramifications of their solutions.

And no: Just "not letting them in" also ain't no solution, these people won't simply "disappear" just because you hide them behind big fences and walls.

No matter how you frame it, "globalizations" and freedom of movement has it's advantages and brings a lot of positive changes. As somebody who crossed the "Iron curtain" several times, when it still existed, I hardly wish those times back. It would be a step back for Europe and humanity as a whole. Fences and walls don't solve problems, they only compartmentalize them.

Well, sort of. What's good for the economy as a whole isn't always the same as what's good for you individually. I might prefer a world in which I know my kids have good jobs, but technology remains stagnant for a generation, to one in which technology improves and the economy as a whole grows, but my kids have much less reliable jobs.

This may be true, but it's completely unrelated to the point I made.

Slavery is only economically viable if you don't treat the slaves as economic agents. At the time when slavery was being debated, virtually no one actually made this argument because it was patently ridiculous.

In fact, the phrase "the dismal science" was coined by a slavery supporter to criticize the economists who opposed slavery. Slavery proponents were actually anti-capitalists who argued that slavery was better for slave and master alike - they favored hierarchical relations rather than exchanges based on mutual agreement. I know Moldbug has been shunned from society for advocating it, but you should read Carlyle if you want to understand history.

It's true that if you don't treat foreigners as economic agents, then economics does in fact suggest treating them as an exploitable resource as well. In fact, if you take that premise, we should probably enslave them rather than just pass protectionist laws against them.

This is a huge battle I am in the middle of fighting right now. I am working on a project that is extremely late and we are having all kinds of political pressure put on us by very senior people. Meanwhile their damn IA staff won't approve any of the tools or hardware that I need to help us get the job done.

One huge obstacle to open-source anything in DoD is the attitudes of their information assurance professionals. I have been told by numerous DoD IA people that "Open Source is bad because anyone can put anything in it" and "We'd rather have someone to call." I understand the second point -- we honestly don't have the time to run every last issue to ground and it's probably better if we do have some professional support for some of our most important tools. But the first just boggles my mind.

But the IA pros are, as a group, schizophrenic, because somehow people are getting things by them anyway. The system I'm working on has Python as a build dependency. The devs are creating reports using Jupyter notebooks.

Basically the DoD needs to stop being so damn obstinate about open source.
