Some of us are stuck using them as part of legacy systems. We're eliminating them as we move to a newer stack but legacy code can be quite sticky.
I wonder, if the stack would be radically different if a) interest rates increase to 'old normal', and/or b) price trend reverses in the opposite direction.

Actually, just the opposite. If most of the cloud cover/gloomy weather happened in the winter, then much of the clouds would be at night...which wouldn't dramatically reduce your sunshine hours.

If the gloominess happened during long days, you'd really see a drop in mean sunshine hours.
All the pepole that are consistently eating 1500-1800 calories per day and are not bedridden are loosing weight and getting thin or less fat regardless of calorie counting and willpower.

There are people who eat more and still are thin but if you are not one of those people they should be none of your concern similarily to how people who inherited wealth - what they do - is meningless for person that was born poor, is poor and wants to get bit richer.

And fasting is conclusive anwer to weight loss if you can enforce it.

If you were in charge of getting inmate less fat that's exactly what you would order and he'd loose weight.

The problem with fasting in real world is that weight loss is not the only thing it affects end you can't ignore the side effects like you could do with an inmate.

"patriarchy: a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it."

"Patriarchy is a social system in which males hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. In the domain of the family, fathers or father-figures hold authority over women and children. Some patriarchal societies are also patrilineal, meaning that property and title are inherited by the male lineage.

Historically, patriarchy has manifested itself in the social, legal, political, religious and economic organization of a range of different cultures.[1] Even if not explicitly defined to be by their own constitutions and laws, most contemporary societies are, in practice, patriarchal.[2]"

What's the deal with getting SSL on your custom domain name now? I moved away from app engine for small projects previously as I think they wanted $60 a month for this.

I did look on the website but I couldn't find the information. I have to say on a mobile device the GCP pages are very poor IMO. Too big a font, too much spacing, intrusive sticky header and too many scrolling effects where content magically appears or disappears. And even worse - when I click the pricing calculator it doesn't fit on the iOS safari screen so it is unusable. It does feel that some CSS and JS wizard got given far too much free reign.

Why was this flagged? And how do I vote for it to be un-flagged?

The thing I find strange is she doesn't know why the boss would deny it's a problem even after addressed by multiple people (a man, even!) with actual evidence. Basically, accepting that the problem is real would imply negative, potentially painful things about the way he lives his life, treats others, and his self image, and so he has to cling to any possible excuse to dismiss the idea so his identity isn't challenged.

It's an ego response. When threatened, the ego shapes your conscious mind's reality to protect it. It's very similar to the defense mechanism that lets creationists believe the earth is 6,000 years old and jesus rode dinosaurs. Even actual evidence to the contrary doesn't phase them. Kind of like the men in this thread who ridicule the post and ignore the actual point of it that shows a man experiencing the behavior first hand.

They're moving damn fast about it. Protests and Moby's posts are one thing, but when an administration/state gets involved, and more importantly when money is put on the table, you can tell things are happening. I don't how far this'll go, but I wouldn't be surprised if some places relatively 'close' to SF/Bay (say from Vancouver to perhaps Mexico) became sort of a surburb for less-demanding offices (think: grade A workers/projects in SF/Bay, everything else remotely to save costs and troubles with US immigration).

It's not, the parent could have made the same point without focusing it on the US at all. It's a rather mediocre and cheap excuse to bash the US. You can use the US for nearly any topic of punching, due to its size culturally and economically, its superpower status, omnipresence, etc. and people will overwhelmingly look the other way and or join in (any excuse to get that outrage hit).

But the US has a history of racism, slavery (even today, in the prisons), genocide angainst the natives, Christian supremasism leading the military to torture people without cause [1], mass internment of native Americans, Japanees, and Irish. In US history, Americans have already killed more inocent civilian Native Americans and blacks than the germans killed Jews, Polls and Gypsies. Unlike the Germans, Americans still deny their own hollocaust of the Natives. Claiming that it was smallpox, which echos the hollocaust deniers claims of typhus quite clearly. And in the past 30-40 years, Americans have been quiet about this. This has become taboo. But many people, even in the US government, such as Jeff Sessions, and Donald Trump are rooted to the history of racism and genocide. They are alive today, and they are ruling the country.

Serious question. What can I do with 0.2 cores? I wonder if I can run a bootstrap static website. Any suggestions. Thanks
I think this hits the nail on the head and you can see lots of examples of companies worsening their product overall by trying to add features that go beyond its scope, e.g. trying to capture away the role of other products. In my opinion, smart TVs are an example.

I often find myself asking: Is this product designed to help the consumer achieve what they want to achieve, or is it designed to steer the user into what the designer wants to achieve? Sometimes this perspective is really illuminating, e.g. for some websites and how they make information available/discoverable.

Of course, there's also another aspect you're getting at, feature creep: If you're designing a product you really care about, it's hard to keep perspective and know when to stop versus a "more is better" mentality. I can understand/relate to that a bit better. But anyway, one thing I like about Linux is that I very rarely feel any of these criticisms apply.
>I just can't get myself to like the overall UX of Linux

> Can you give an example of text in the wild that uses interlinear ruby annotation codepoints?

Sadly, no :( You may have luck scraping Wikibooks or some other source of PDFs or plaintext. In general you won't find interlinear annotations on the web because HTML has a better way of dealing with ruby. This is also why they're in the "shitlist", that shitlist is for stuff that's expressly not supposed to be used in markup languages.

Another way to get a good answer here is by asking the unicode mailing list, they tend to be helpful here. I know that they're used because I've heard that they are, so no first-hand experience with them. This isn't a very satisfying answer, I know, but I can't give a better one.

> Do they count as graphemes?

The annotation characters themselves? By UAX 29 they probably do, since UAX 29 doesn't try to handle many of these corner-case things (it explicitly asks you to tailor the algorithm if you care about specifics like these). ICU might deal with them better. The same goes for word segmentation, e.g. UAX 29 will not correctly word-segment Thai text, but ICU will if you ask it to. I haven't tried any of this, but it should be easy enough.

I guess a lot of this depends on what kind of processing you're doing. Ignoring the annotation sounds like the way to go for NLP, since it's ultimately an _annotation_ (which is kinda a parallel channel of info that's not essential to the text). This certainly applies for when the annotations are used for ruby, though they can be used for other things too. Interlinear annotations were almost used for the Vedic samasvara letter combiners, though they ultimately went with creating new combiners since it was a very restricted set of annotations.

They're not used much so the best way forward is probably to ignore them, really. These are a rather niche thing that never really took off.
You oversimplify things when you refer to it as a "PR stunt". It's a part of their current tactics: certain parts of MS, especially the Azure team, have no other choice than collaborate with the open source community if they want their business to grow.
You may remember Microsoft always wanted to win developers over. However, the programming ecosystem changed considerably since the 90s. Now, in order to get us back on board, they need to act differently than they did back then - and it seems it works as many people speak positively about the "new" Microsoft.
It's not new, the strategy is pretty much the same.
Those limitations apply to the old model of App Engine they call the Standard Environment, which abstracted much more over the underlying resources (you didn't have to think about what VMs you were using).

At some point they realised that maintaining their own parallel forks of the runtimes was a loser's game and now gently push you toward the "Flexible Environment", which maps more transparently onto GCE (their equivalent to EC2) instances (which is better for them since you're billed much more directly according to your resource use), and has much more up to date runtimes, and you can supply your own docker image if none of them fit.

The only people I know of who actively use the Standard Env anymore for new projects are trying to have a hobby project run for free in the free tier.
Frankly, seen from Europe, most things 'police', 'safety', 'justice' are nothing short of wtf-grade in the US. It's surreal, it's one of the closest thing there is to dystopia (of the wrong kind) in the west. Arguably SF/Bay is a bit of an island (even politically) but still deeply embedded in the rather 'extreme' US culture.

By comparison Canada, much like Sweden or Switzerland here, feels like a pretty 'normal' country overall, much more reasonable in many regards. And it's safer there's no question about it.
"Always" refers to the fact that there is no contractual end to the trial period.

The fact that Google might terminate the contract is another story.

Now, if Google could change the price without giving you the option to cancel, that would be a scandal. But I don't think that's the case.

These buildings were built with many intentional shortcuts (by design). The real tragedy however was to allow their construction in seismic zones. One of the reasons why so many people died in the Spitak earthquake is that many of these Khrushevkas collapsed like a house of cards.

I set up SSL for my custom domain on App Engine with Let's Encrypt yesterday - once you know how to do it, it takes only 5 minutes, I followed this tutorial: https://realguess.net/2016/09/26/installing-let-s-encrypt-ss...
I don't remember the $60. I remember that at some point custom domains with SSL where tied to GSuite in some form. But it hasn't been the case in a long time. You can get your certificates anywhere you want and just upload them through the UI.

I get mine from LetsEncrypt using a process somewhat automated similar to [1].

It is still a pain in the ass semi-manual job I have to do every few months but I get SSL for free.

I hope they launch some better integration with LetsEncrypt in the future.

Yeah names get confusing now
jwz nailed this a ways back:

The Firefox UI is a moving target. It is under constant "improvement", which means "change" which means every few months I'm forced to upgrade it and shit has moved around and I need to re-learn how to do a task that I was happily doing before. This does not often happen with Safari. Their UI has been remarkably stable for many, many years.

The constantly-changing Firefox UI is by design. They believe that user-experience bugs are just like all other bugs, and you can manage them in the same way: toss them into Bugzilla and "more eyes make all bugs shallow", etc. (Google takes this even further: all of their UI decisions are made statistically.) Apple doesn't believe that, and they develop their UI in dictatorial secrecy.

Here's a 50-minute talk by Alex Faaborg, Principal Designer at Mozilla, about how they do UI and why they think they should do it that way. It's interesting.

Maybe the Firefox team is right, and you can develop a better UI that way. Well, they haven't yet proved this, because Apple's UI is better.

Look, in the case of all other software, I believe strongly in "release early, release often". Hell, I damned near invented it. But I think history has proven that UI is different than software. The Firefox crew believe otherwise. Good for them, and we'll see.

Meanwhile, I'm going to use the app whose UI works best, not the app whose development methodology most fits my political preconceptions.

fpm can package anything, you can literally throw any old directory at it and get a .deb or .rpm out.
But it can be implemented iteratively instead of recursively, so that there is only one stack frame. O(1) space for binary search is entirely possible. The link demonstrates both versions, the iterative one uses O(1) auxiliary space and the recursive implementation uses O(log n), unless the compiler uses tail call optimization :)

A coal plant's regular radiation emissions are as bad as they get, and are orders of magnitude below the least possible clinically significant levels.

A nuclear power plants regular radiations are below the level of a coal plant. But a worst-case scenario, of which we have multiple extant examples are unbelievably worse: 9 trillion times more radiation, using the xkcd reference I posted (adjusting the intervals for equivalence -- 1 year rather than 10 minutes as the Chernobyl core instance is given). And it's been non-engineering factors, for the most part (management and oversight) which are the failure modes driving these. Which is to say, the problems cannot be fixed by engineering around them.

The fundamental error, though, is that this is a false dichotomy. There are alternatives to both coal and nuclear. And they bypass this problem entirely.
Of course, the winners wrote the history books.
The default terminals have improved significantly since Windows 7 for sure, but it still hasn't evolved into something that I genuinely enjoy using yet, at least compared to some of the other, much better terminals out there (missing tabs, splitting, extensibility, etc), so I'm hesitant to include that on my list.

> AirBNB has greatly increased the supply of housing in each city, thus causing price drops and forcing hotels to drop their prices in order to remain competitive.

That's 2-3 major claims that I just can't believe at face value. I'd like to, but you'll have to convince me.

People are converting rental properties to AirBnBs, which actually could mean less supply of rental properties and the same amount of people looking for them.

Is AirBnB leading to development of new housing to offset this? Maybe. idk

But std::distance(first, last) is how n is defined.

std::nth_element is typically implemented using a fancy version of quickselect called introselect. You can imagine quickselect as a version of quicksort where the recursive call is only executed on the side which contains the element. Introselect adds some fanciness to ensure worst-case linear running time if quickselect takes too long (bad pivot selection).

Actually, this is just due to Swift not implementing Unicode 9's version of UAX 29 (which had just come out at the time). Swift should handle it correctly, but it's lagging behind in unicode 9 support. In general a "character" in a string is a grapheme cluster, and most visually-single emoji are single grapheme clusters. The exception is stuff like ‍️[1]. That should render as a male judge (I don't think there's font support for it yet) according to the spec, and it should be a single grapheme cluster, but the spec has what I consider a mistake in it where it isn't considered to be one. I've filed a bug about this, since the emoji-zwj-sequences file lists it as a valid zwj sequence, but applying the spec to the sequence gives two grapheme clusters.

There's active work now for Unicode 9 support in Swift. Since string handling is heavily dependent on this algorithm (they have a unicode trie and all for optimization!) it's trickier than just rewriting the algorithm.

But, in general, you should be able to trust Swift to do the right thing here, barring bugs like "not up to date with the spec". Swift is great like that.
