> The argument against this is that if you reimburse private school tuition, you divert money from public schools, thus exacerbating the problem.

Well, if I do poorly at my job, I won't get paid either. Why does a school system get protection that the people paying for it do not? The status quo continues to hurt children.

> And once you divert public money to private schools, are they obligated to meet the same academic standards?

Well, yes, they should be held to the same standards as our public schools. Heck, if they take tax payer money they should have the same standard of what can be added as extra fees (no BS taking the money and demanding additional tuition).

It bugs me that when private social programs are brought in to deal with the worst-of-the-worst[1] and get results that we don't allow our children the same outlet education-wise.

FYI: North Dakota has a variation of open enrollment for public schools https://www.nd.gov/dpi/SchoolStaff/SchoolFinance/OpenEnrollm...

1) I remember the lecture by one group out of Chicago in the 90's (cannot remember the name but they had some good data collection that I took hints from). They had a client burn down their HQ. They still continued even with that individual.

Wow, well I was on the fence when it came to leaving California. Now I'm absolutely certain I'll be leaving. You guys enjoy playing "pin the smugness on the echo-chamber".
One major win for Instagram (Besides the just-pictures you mentioned) is that following isn't a mutual thing, so there's no social pressure to be 'friends' with someone even though you're not interested in the content they generate.
If you mean using EME just for non-DRM encryption, no it doesn't make sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11692420

If you mean that the recipients of the video are restricted in what they can do with it, that's a DRM use case.
If you're thinking of the recent boom in machine learning specifically, there are plenty of people in ML, even people making lots of money from it, who think the concept of "artificial intelligence" is a recurring hoax, or at best an overselling aimed at people who've read more sci-fi than science. Of course plenty of people think otherwise, too, but it's not a rare view within the field.
I struggle working from home; my toddler's in a screaming phase. It's only slightly better listening to the PM team doing conference calls, hearing the one-sided conversation about product features.

My team used to be clustered into a corner of the building. Pairs worked quietly, louder teams weren't around to bother us, etc. It wasn't quite as nice as actual offices, but it was pretty close.

A full-on open plan office sounds terrible. Working most days with kiddos playing sounds terrible (when I work from home, I get most of my work done during his nap and after his bedtime). Working in cubes near noisy teams isn't great. Working in cubes secluded from noisy teams is fairly nice. I think I'd like to work in a team office to allow easy collaboration, while keeping away distractions.
2FA isn't hard to use, and is barely inconvenient. How often do you log into your email, anyway?

Also, if you lose your phone, you can make use of your recovery code.
It seems unlikely that someone would enter a sell limit at 0 or a buy at $MAX. That's what a market order is. Liquidating an account seems like one of the few times one would ever use it.
Basically, every major film studio (or rather film publisher) is insisting on DRM when making distribution deals, for completely crooked reasons, yes.
> And that's different from a web page that won't allow you to access it without a password, how?

It works the same regardless of what browser or OS you are using.
Finally some damn sense on this topic. The whole "programmers will be automated away" is just a scare tactic to slow down the automation of what can be automated. People scared and afraid and attacking what they perceive as the enemy. Lots of things will be automated, automating will not be one of them.
Yeah, depends on what your threat model is. You'll go crazy treating every possible threat as "guaranteed to happen; must defend" though. If you're worried about border control, at least you'll know if they search your stuff and can revoke access after the fact, which puts it in a slightly different category than day to day surreptitious password theft.
I work in a team of 12. The idea of having all of us in one room would result in several homicides. Even with cubicle walls, in the past, homicide has been a course of action contemplated by most of the team.

This idea the groups need to be able to talk easily is just idiotic. We're not in kindergarten sharing what our cats did or why the sky is blue, we're professionals working on complex tasks. Written communication is abundant, whether it's chat/slack/irc/email/remedyforce etc. If anything, we're drowning in communication. Comprehension is the issue.

So screw working side by side in pair programming, or such crap. It's all a part of companies that view employees as a cost center, or a "resource" to be managed, like you would a herd of cattle.
Just another happy customer giving those guys a big thumbs-up!
I've been using btrfs since about 2014 on CentOS7. I only use it with mirroring+compression. No snapshots. I mostly went with it for data scrubbing and compression.

My experience has been mixed, but haven't had any data loss. There was a bug for a while regarding free space so occasionally the system would seem to be full but wasn't ....and it was a real pain to correct it.

I now have a cron job that does a monthly btrfs balance along with a mount -oremount,clear_cache. I also run the latest kernels from http://elrepo.org instead of the CentOS7 kernels so that I get the latest patches.
Really the biggest reason Esperanto is easy is that it doesn't have a whole culture constantly pumping in new slang and arcane idioms. You can see a word used once or twice and be reasonably certain that you are not missing some subtle nuance or alternative meaning.

The "Robber Fly" is easily the most interesting of the predatory flies: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Asilidae

It's being researched at Cambridge University for applications for drones and other flying robots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukiTGsvFP1Y

They also have these large unique round compound eyes, unlike other flies which are typically flatter. They are very high resolution for such a small fly and have hundreds of mini lenses. Another longer video explaining the research into it's vision and hunting behaviour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X8UunUY6U8

They catch the insects in mid-flight, instead of waiting until they land. They have this amazing ability to fly extremely fast then stopping to turn midflight to land properly on the fly.

> The fly attacks its prey by stabbing it with its short, strong proboscis injecting the victim with saliva containing neurotoxic and proteolytic enzymes which very rapidly paralyze the victim and soon digest the insides; the fly then sucks the liquefied material through the proboscis.

They also can kill other top insect predators that are far larger and more powerful with no problem:

> various Asilidae prey on formidable species including stinging Hymenoptera, powerful grasshoppers, dragonflies and even other Asilidae, in fact practically anything of a suitable size.
The really interesting thing that will come out of this, I think, is defining what are usually human-only attributes. The notion of ownership being anything less than associated with individual humans was displaced by the mythology of joint-stock companies, which can own things as an extension of the will of many humans. Now when you're explicitly talking about ownership by entities perceived as non-human -- that could get interesting very fast.
> Interesting theory, however, a machine cannot own property, only a person can.

Correction: Only legal entities can.
Looks like an awesome resource

Software Engineering Institute Makes CERT C++ Coding Standard Freely Available
This argument was more true in the early days of the web DRM debate, but the Netflix of today is largely publishing its own content rather than distributing the content of others, so it is setting the terms of how its content will be protected.

I don't think it is a coincidence that Netflix's more aggressive anti-piracy actions and rollout of more DRM-enabled platform choices has come at a time that they're distributing more of their own content.
2FA works in practice against people who don't have physical contact with you. For most people, that's the only threat vector they're worried about.

It hardly makes your life more difficult, and it does help at least a little bit. So it's worth setting up.
So, the wealthy get vouchers, as they can afford the lawyers and phycologists required to have a child declared disabled and in need of special accommodation?
I believe pugworthy meant something like this:

"Still, the majority consensus appears to be something more broadly defined; it seems like maybe being a Burner is not about where you’ve been, or what you’ve attended, but what you do, and how you live."
This is the strategy Microsoft tried over a decade ago with ActiveX. And Firefox saved us. It was starting to be normalized, to have to install ActiveX controls to view certain content.

Companies like CinemaNow[1] offered Netflix-like streaming movie services using Microsoft's ActiveX based Janus DRM over a decade ago. Thankfully, the community had more of a backbone back then.

Firefox and Linux were not broken because they didn't support Microsoft's crummy software. I considered it a major feature, actually.

Microsoft was trying to push the narrative that if you wanted to truly get a first class experience of the web, you had to be running Windows and Internet Explorer. Microsoft made it easy to just use the Trident engine, and get locked into their ecosystem.

Now, the same thing is happening again, except that Mozilla is on board with it. It's only a matter of time until Firefox is just a wrapper for webkit, and websites will compel you to install EMEs that will force you to watch ads.

Amazon Video works with EME+Widevine, too. What makes you say it still requires Silverlight?
I was hopeful that the announcement from Mozilla applied to BSD. If Widevine is used, then this will be Linux only. Still good news, however.

It will open DRM to every other websites as well as the barrier to DRM is now low enough for everyone.

Not for this one reason, but for 'webpages just work faster on Windows', sure.
I agree, I think a manager with randomly generated (and long) passwords is the way to go in terms of security + ease of use sweet spot. edit: in addition to 2FA/yubikey type measures.

Or it's not political and Gorsuch is telling the truth that he was bound by circuit precedent which he was.
Sorry, but Hollywood has the upper hand here.

Hollywood has no desire to enter an open platform. They're completely happy if none of their movies are online, ever. Really. They already have a massively profitable distribution system in the theaters.

The problem is that people want to watch Hollywood movies on their computer, including people that use Linux. So what do you tell those people to do? Tell them run Windows? Have them go watch it in the theater? And they have copyright controls that can force offline sites that host copyrighted content in various countries.

So DRM is the tech industry's way to kiss these people ass. It may be flawed or may not work, but it's still ass-kissing. They're the artists, they get to decide what they do with their art. The consumer has no right to an artists creation. Their only choice is to pay up or ignore it.

And you'll find that this happens to other art mediums as well. There are many, many art galleries that won't sell certain works of art if they deem your ownership as insufficient. Literally - the customer is wrong.
Thanks for using GitLab. We have open sourced features based on your request before https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931690

I can't promise anything regarding these features. Especially custom fields are a typical EE feature in our perspective. The dependent issues feature proposal https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4058#note_249... is still on the CE tracker but I'm not sure what it's future is.
The thing is that there is (for all intents and purposes) no difference between ECE and plugins.

Actually, ECE is a plugin. The only difference is that it helps web-designers switch plugin providers.

That's it. No more security. No more standardization.

As a user, you still depend on the goodwill of the ECE provider throw you a bone. If you use a slightly niche OS (say, OpenBSD on ARM), you're out of luck.

If Adobe decides that it's not worth their time to develop a plugin for PaleMoon, they won't and you're out of luck (or will MS let their ECE plugin run on Linux, or Google's run on FF?). You (as a user) won't be able to switch to another provider. It all depends on the provider.
Indeed. Sublime is amazing but just look at the last update which came out in September 2016 and mentioned getting things in order for a v3 final release soon. That was 6 months ago now.
Hope you have a very big monitor and a good noise canceling headset. Otherwise get ready for a coding/interrupt cycle that will drain all your productivity (unless you start staying late to make up for it). Good luck.
Yeah popunders suck, but doing what I can to cover costs right now. Have a lot of users that would much rather that than imgfave being shut down. That said, plan to remove those as soon as I find a better ad network.
Their terms of service also prohibit apps from using "gram" in the name.
Statistically speaking, the odds of a bug being found first on an unsupported platform, which represents such a small segment of your users, are low. The odds of it only ever being found on an unsupported platform, even though it's not platform specific, probably means it's rare enough for the business not to care about it.

The first sentence in my reply ought to have been prefaced with a 'when'.

I'm 30 going on 31, and am currently doing that. I recently came from a start-up gig that worked me until I burned out, then laid off my whole team shortly after launch. I'm at a medium sized company that still does cool things, but doesn't force ridiculous deadlines on you and actually seems to care about the well-being of their employees. Most of the engineers have been there for 2-10 years; I've heard this should be a metric by which you determine your next position, but I hadn't realized just _how_ important that is until I got chewed up and spit out by a 'cool' startup.
My problem with sublime is the low bus factor -- as far as i can tell it is one guy and closed source, what if he gets bored?

With atom and vscode i have lots of Devs, a big company behind it, and the source. I'm sure they will continue to exist.
From another comment, don't necessarily think of the dilemma of a netflix user, or internet browser, instead think of the of the blow to the openness of the next person that wants to make a brand new web browser. For the new browser to fully compete, they now /NEED/ to set up a closed relationship with netflix, the drm provider, the other browsers. If it was an open standard, they could simply code the crypto algorithms that the standard needs and not need to get permission for the closed drm formats.
Yeah, the problem started when people decided installing a browser from an ad agency seemed like a good idea.
My manager and I rejected OneDrive when we were comparing different services, because it was slow and unresponsive. I didn't think to try it on Windows, so we chose a competitor.

Linux users are a small minority, but I suspect they have well above average influence in what IT services are purchased.
It worked for music because they were stupid enough to put all their eggs in one basket, iTunes and iPods, and then got screwed when Apple wanted to sell electronics more than music and wouldn't raise their prices. Movies aren't in the same situation.

Movies are a great deal more fractured, and they will remain fractured. The movie studios will not let Netflix turn into the iTunes for movies.

Does the time to open that 3GB file include saving the file? If so, EmEditor (https://www.emeditor.com/ windows only, payware) is way faster (my unscientific test via stopwatch gave me around 3 seconds) ;) It also supports only opening parts of a file (so limiting it to the first 80 kbytes takes the time town to some ms).

The thesis of this article is that strategically admitting elements of OO in an F# codebase significantly improves quality and maintainability....In my 6 years of working with F#...I typically write the implementation of a large component in the functional style behind a private module, then expose its public API as part of a standalone class.

I've been coding with F# since it came out. I don't claim to be a guru, but I've coded in various production environments, both self-architected and part of a larger group.

I write pure functional first and then refactor and abstract as necessary. I have also decided on a policy of pure microservices: stand-alone small units of functionality joined, tested, and deployed by the environment, not other toolsets.

I try to keep a completely open mind about rolling my own objects. I'm an old OO guy, I love all things OO.

Sadly, keeping to these simple principles, I find no need for objects.

At first I did. Then I got better. I keep looking for them to crop up. Instead, what happens is that I write my microservice production code in the domain language, with lots of descriptive parameters and methods. Then, as a I refactor, the code splits into "neat stuff that should be part of the type system" and "some construct that's actually solving the problem I want to solve"

So I end up with a very small amount of domain-expressive code written using symbols that are either in the type system or should be.

I'm done. That's it. Repeat and rinse -- keeping, of course, that small bit of code that actually got refactored out for re-use. This code will live in a Types.fs file. I share this file among projects.

I could be more blunt. There are no components. Once you start thinking in terms of components? You've already decided you want to use OO. There's nothing wrong with that, just don't engage in circular reasoning. If before you begin you've already decided to use OO concepts, then you're using OO concepts. F# has nothing to do with anything.

I'm still waiting for some good examples, and I'm trying to stay open-minded about it. So far, though, I haven't seen the need for them. This essay didn't change anything.
This comparison is from 8 months ago. VSCode has had several big releases since then.

> Your conflation of motor skills with mental acuity is setting your face up for a healthy portion of egg. Stephen Hawking can't tie his shoelaces either.

I assume the OP's point is that in an era where we've struggled to program machines with sufficient ingenuity to master relatively simple motor skills (despite considerable financial incentives to do so) it's more than a little premature to conclude it's "inevitable" that we will end up creating machines with such sophisticated reasoning skills it can run a functioning business without losing out to human suppliers, contractors, customers and clients that all want to profit at its expense (despite no incentive to create a single machine that could do this, and considerable incentive not to grant it full self-ownership if such a single machine were nevertheless created).
Bulk data processing clock speeds could still be lower, but some devices may need THz timing, for example to align and integrate data from a swarm of sensors in motion relative to each other. Imagine trillions of 1-pixel cameras that know exactly when, where, and in which direction each pixel was captured (but not necessarily capturing literal image data).
This is correct for applications using IG's API. This is not the case for statimgram.

"fairly unique" is one of those annoying phrases that parses to meaninglessness. Either something is unique or it isn't, there aren't degrees of uniqueness (unlike, "creative", "special", or "new"). For comparison, while "really unique" isn't meaningless, the "really" is pointless and so still quite annoying.

Perhaps you meant "fairly unusual"?

I suspect that the emphasis on self-teaching is due in part to the pace of change in information technologies, and also to "rockstar" culture.

The most useful and valuable technical skills are usually the ones for which there are no formal courses yet, and most businesses are reluctant to spend money (or employee time) on speculative investments which may not pay off (for the business or the employee).

Meanwhile, the most valuable employees often disdain spending time acquiring skills that do have some form of formal credential or certification available, as those are inevitably going to be much less interesting and shiny.

And so, non-rockstars (including junior folks) are left to fend for themselves (if they are lucky, a more experienced co-worker will point them in useful directions) even when formal learning options would be helpful to them.
