Yep. It's one of those things that I've had an ignored for years except for the one time I needed it. I was on vacation and parked the rental, thinking "oh, no biggie, I will just find my way back over when I need it. Worst case I end up wandering for a few minutes while I relocate the right side street."

Well, it took more than a few minutes. It was hot as hell, girlfriend was getting pissed off at all the walking around in the heat and humidity (was in Key West), tensions were rising...and I remembered that stupid parking location thing I never use. Got me back on track within a minute or two and that wasn't the day we split up.

But yeah, seems like a decent extension of this feature for those who don't use Google Now (or whatever it's called now) or want more options.
Isn't this ignoring the benefit companies might want the kind of talent that can pump out side projects as well as their work? But that's rooted to the 10x engineer myth.
Check out Hasura[1]. Unopinionated: yes, serverless: not really. I think serverless essentially means you want to run code on the server but not really worry about server provisioning, maintenance etc.

Hasura[1] is a PaaS (based on Docker+Kubernetes) + BaaS. There are some built-in backend components (like auth and a data service). You can also write any code and deploy (via docker images) to multiple clouds.

Disclaimer: I work at Hasura.

Python 101: Free Interactive course to learn Python 3
Can someone please clarify this for me.

An employer is paying six figures to an employee. In exchange for said salary, employee works set hours and within that time, is supposed to work for the employer and anything they create within that period is owned by the employer.

However, in the comments. It seems like everyone wants their cake and eat it too? Which is to say, if I'm working for you between the contracted hours of 9 to 5. And if I am working on a personal project that the employer is not going to benefit, I should keep the IP. Even though the employer is paying for my time?

Note, this isn't about working outside of the contracted hours at home, nor is it about staying late and using company resources to develop said project and claiming IP belongs to the employee.

For large companies like github. They could probably be more flexible. But for smaller companies, every working daylight hour to them is needed and required for projects to deliver on-time.

These very same companies would argue that all code/IP belongs to them. That they woudn't want employees working on pet projects in THEIR paid time.

Kinda sounds to me, that people here wants 3 things.

1) Pay me a large wage > north of 6 figures.
2) If I code something for me during working hours, it's MINE.
3) If I code something outside of working hours, it's also MINE.

Sounds like bratish entitled behavior no?

Can someone set me straight here? I don't see how this could be good for employers who don't agree with this.

Oh and btw, if you want to work on your own thing, being paid by a company, that you keep the IP. It's called being an entrepreneur and setting up your own company. So instead of saying kudos I wish more companies do this. Go start your own today and you have that freedom NOW!

> So here's my concern: guy's now been in jail without charge for 18 months. The prosecutors say his guilt is a foregone conclusion

That's not what the "foregone conclusion" stuff is about, at all. They're not saying "it's obvious he's guilty so the 5th amendment does not apply." The 5th amendment doesn't apply to handing over evidence, period. It's about the circumstances under which handing over evidence (which ordinarily does not implicate the 5th amendment) involves implicit statements or assertions by the defendant (which does). Read the subpoena example in the opinion, it clarifies.

While this is very nice, I'm a bit confused about the target. What kind of material is intended to be published here in the future?

Because the blog post and title seems to be describing it as a "journal" intended to replace PDF publications, but the actual content appears to be more in the tutorial/survey category, e.g. "how to use t-SNE," etc. Is this intended to be a place to publish new research in the future, or is it meant more for enhanced "medium"-style blog posts?

Both are fine, I just find the dissonance between the announcement and the actual content a bit confusing.

How the Sales Tracking App Can Multiply Your Sales
You run multiple virtual machines simultaneously and 16GB of RAM doesn't feel slow to you? They must have seriously optimized the hardware to the point that the RAM goes farther. Running multiple VMs on my 2015 MBP with 16GB RAM is a nonstarter. How much memory are you devoting to each VM, and how much do you allocate for overhead on the host system?

I'm spoiled though - these days I spend most of my time on a machine with 128GB RAM and an i7-6900K :). I can barely recall what it's like for a machine to hang.

I have been using the 12" MacBook now as my primary computer for about five months, and the build quality of the keyboard is so poor I am completely shocked. What I wanted was an 11" Air with a retina screen, but they just had to make the thing so #!%@&=+ thin that it is now just a piece of $%#@. Is the MacBook Pro's also-stupidly-thin keyboard much better? They claimed the MacBook's keyboard was somehow a step up from before, but it is actually just "as good as they could make it while optimizing for thin above any sane design constraint" and it really really really sucks; it has actually driven me to stop using my computer as often due to the combination of the keyboard itself falling apart and the damage to my hands and wrists from typing on it: I seriously have started sitting at a desk so I can use a real keyboard again, which is not something I ever felt the need to do with any of Apple's previous keyboards; and at that point there is absolutely no reason to get an Apple computer in the first place as I could use anything else and I wouldn't notice the difference :/... I mean, I may as well just use a desktop computer (and I actually have essentially been doing just that, slowly transitioning to a Windows desktop I had built for VR work, even if only because it is better designed to handle all of the desktop accessories and is much faster, with a top-of-the-like graphics card).

Well, having an encrypted storage that uses interleaved blocks for storage would allow you to have multiple versions of the data at the cost of 2x (or #x) the data storage of the largest partition. You could even throw in some parity to make the image resilient to damage. Software could then use the key provided to find the set of blocks it opens. Software wouldn't need to know anything beyond the basics of block size and number of parity blocks after it was created. Each read/write would read all the parallel blocks at once and write them all at once. All watching that would do is let you know which blocks changed. And that is assuming you can observe usage beforehand. If not, then you have no idea how many real data partitions there are or if you were given a bogus password. That being the idea behind plausible deniability.

As someone who worked with distributed systems for many years before using TLA+ to find bugs and validate work: It's possible to understand it.

I think it would help to have a good mentor, as I did, or a lecture series from the language inventor. I ran through the trial version of these videos when Lamport was developing them and it's quite approachable even for someone who's more of a liberal arts kind of person.
My in-laws live in a fairly remote area in Upstate NY. They have no access to land-based broadband. Satellite is still inherently expensive, and the phone lines are so noisy that dialup is abysmal. This is a very optimistic plan but unfortunately I don't foresee it coming to fruition any time soon. There are just some areas that are so remote that it isn't feasible.
Personally I think this is wrong.

Employers should expect developers to work on company IP within contracted hours and any new code/IP is owned by the company.

In addition. Developers who have their own side-projects own that IP and if they work outside of contracted hours and generate new code on THEIR projects. Well, they own that IP also.

One caveat though. Developers should allow employers to go through their generated code, to ensure that developers aren't stealing company IP.

Oh but if a company wants some code that the developer generated in his own time? Well, negotiations should start. The company should pay for that!
Temporal reasoning is a lot more than that you mentioned, so
by providing this example you can not conclude that TLAPS support temporal reasoning. I have read several papers of S.Merz, Lamport's student and now a researcher, who mentioned that
there is no temporal reasoning apparatus available in TLAPS.
Maybe something have changed since then but I found no evidence for this.

> They just use the model checker, that can check

> liveness, too

This is not quite true. Liveness is about infinite number
of states, but any real model checking is bounded by definition.

For an engineer this is not a problem at all, but as
for comp.sci researcher your ability to use TLA+ is limited in this respect.

> Lamport has repeatedly said "temporal logic is evil"

Well I respect Mr.Lamport`s point, but to prove liveness you are almost doomed to use temporal logic.

- The chamfers look matte, like the iPhone SE.

> Plus, can confirm that the ME airlines are highly competitive. They're subsidized by their governments

That's not true, at least not for Emirates and Etihad, which were the main airlines accused.

Delta and other US airlines did accuse them of violating the Open Skies agreement, yes. Which is quite hypocritical since Delta (like other US airlines) has also taken direct subsidies from the US government.

But, as Emirates showed in their subsequent lawsuit, their financial records prove that they have never taken government subsidies, despite Delta's accusations. Etihad did, but long before Open Skies was signed (1999).

This behavior isn't unusual; the Big Four are just using this as an easy way to smear their biggest competitors, while ignoring other airlines that have similar financial history (China Southern, etc.). But China Southern isn't (currently) drawing passengers away from the Big Four, whereas Emirates/Etihad/Qatar are.

The Gulf aiflines are more efficient than the US airlines because they exclusively serve one city - Emirates, for example, flies only flights to or from Dubai (with a couple of tiny exceptions). That makes it a lot easier to provide excellent service and cheap flights.

It sounds like you're approaching this from the wrong. Do marketing / sales / networking first (and do it a lot, consulting is as much about talking to people as it is about implementing solutions).

Most corporations I interviewed with have this policy, including Microsoft and some large banks. Otherwise it would be impossible to attract OS developers.

Also the agreement[1] is not completely rosy, it has some strings attached.

For example if you are working on CSS library, Github uses it and contracts you to make some patches, they might claim IP ownership over those patches. That is a mine field for OS project.

I personally would not sign it. It needs extra clause to clarify what projects are excluded.

I'd wager BDFL prefers the CPython implementation because it's probably simpler. Also, it supports tons of targets and is super simple to build.

It's healthy for a language to have more than one implementation. A big win would be a linux distro selecting pypy for use as the default Python. But IMO many python scripts that folks use just don't run long enough to see a benefit from PyPy.
