>That looks like a 'no', then.

I gave you a specific example. From this point on, I consider you a troll, but for the record:

The play of words "directives vs laws" doesn't change the fact that UK law is trumped by EU law (sorry, "directives").

The fact that the UK can "make its own laws" is insignificant if those laws have to comply with EU directives (and if new EU directives invalidate UK laws).

Nobody doubts that UK government can draft laws -- the nominal process of putting words to legal documents and enforcing them.

That's not what anybody means when they contest that the UK can't draft its OWN laws. Make one's own law obviously means: "as they see fit", not "but only in accordance to EU law".

>and I feel like it's exactly this kind of confusion (deliberate or otherwise) over the years that has contributed to the atmosphere that lead to Brexit.

The only confusion is between a sovereign state that can make any law its people want (in accordance to any international treaties they've signed) and one that has to consider the law of EU above its own. And you perpetuate it purposefully.
How on earth are those two things the same? You are comparing a violent act which a pass at a woman. You are basically making any person making a pass at a woman a sexual offender unless they ask if they can kiss her. Again proving my point
One code base to maintain which will (theoretically with the right browser) run on Mac's, Linux, Android, Windows etc. At the moment Construct 2 is bound to Windows only.

Secondly, a huge feature that we're yet to show is multi language ability. This is an insanely difficult thing to implement in a C++ program, but reasonably trivial in HTML.

The IMF said in 2015 that the pound was up to 20% overvalued though. I recall people talking about it being overvalued for many years before that - in fact, the pound being so highly valued (which was great for the financial industry but not that much else) probably led to a lot of the deindustrialisation over the last few decades which is probably where a lot of this really started.

Anyway, the U.K. is a fairly large advanced economy, and as a bystander outside the U.K., US and Europe, I find it pretty far fetched that what you say will occur, and that the U.K. will have problems long term outside the EU. There might be some short term pain but it's probably for the best long term.
Glad you asked.

So India in general has an extremely progressive acceptability for sex education. We have ads on national TV promoting condoms (by the govt. With Bollywood jingles) as well as female contraceptives.

You can pretty much walk into any govt hospital (which are not much to look at) and get free contraceptives and contraception operative procedures.

We have a huge govt funded initiative around sanitary napkins, which is also considered a marketing case study in general [1]. Remember this was done through schools.

The contraception debate in the US (including abortion) seems weird.

India does have a significant proportion of female foeticide for cultural reasons, which is why it is banned in India to do prenatal sex determination. This has entered the cultural psyche to such a degree, that my friends who have conceived in the USA, will explicitly tell their doctors to not tell them about the gender (yes. An Indian citizen can be arrested upon entry to India if it can be proved you paid for sex determination outside of India).

However the impact of contraception innovation in India reaches far beyond it's shores. We are the largest supplier of generics and contraceptives to several third world countries including Africa.

Yeah. There is significant management overhead. And things like standardized QA and requirements become very important since a miscommunication can cost a whole day due to timezone differences.

It's because those same software engineers have 0 financial background. It's not different than a software engineer going into a financial firm and saying "I can't believe none of these guys know how their technology works".

The most financial exposure these individuals have is reading the $Xmillion Series X funding, or $Xbillion exits that they see on TechCrunch on a daily basis. Their risk is assessed on those headlines.

Membership in the EU requires membership in the ECHR, that’s why Britain can only after Brexit go back to the human rights of the 1600s that the elected government wants.

Having done this when I was younger and more foolish, I would not recommend it at all. I felt like I did pretty well overall, but ultimately flubbed a couple of [simple] questions that torpedoed my chances. While things worked out for the best (that company's future looks grim and I'm very happy where I am now), it was a blow to my confidence at the time.

I probably wouldn't have had to have prepared for a month or two to get that offer. A week of glancing at my notes for 30 minutes to an hour a day to refresh would have been sufficient. I think you owe it to yourself and the company who is paying to fly you out to at least brush up a _little_ bit (within reason) beforehand. It's almost like basic hygiene.

Fly is way more "aware" of underlying applications than Cloudflare. We offer most of the same quick wins (easy SSL, global termination). We also replace your local load balancers, handle service discovery (just boot an app process with our agent), and let you run middleware at the edge.

Our site is a good example: the static docs are hosted on Github Pages, the landing page is a middleware + Rack app, and our dashboard is a Rails app hosted on Kubernetes. All of these are mounted under https://fly.io. The edges are aware of the session cookies Rails uses and we have routing rules to send people to the right backends if they're logged in.

It's early, but the middleware is already super powerful.

If engineers would refuse to implement privacy invasions, they wouldn't happen.

Do you work for Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Time-Warner, CenturyLink, Charter, Cox, Frontier? Don't implement these things. Don't do deep packet inspection, don't log things that shouldn't be logged, don't put in MITM proxies and don't insert cookies in traffic that your customers expected to have unmolested. Explain your decision, and explain it to your coworkers.

Some of you will lose your jobs. I'm sorry. However, you're in high demand. And maybe you can make a difference.
The question is, would multiple threads have any essential difference from another embodiment e.g. procedural. If not, then the (only) gain is being able to recast the problem as threads, for whatever that's worth. If thinking about an algorithm as synchronization-of-data is helpful, then the low-or-zero-latency-added thread model is helpful.
Saying that I'm no better than white supremacists on the basis of my fairly anodyne comments is pretty clearly crossing the line.

"We had someone come in interviewing for a senior that I would place as a mid (generously...)"

Exactly. Do not be so cocky. This is free market and while you are entitled to your opinion why should a candidate try too hard to get a position that pays less than half of what he will get elsewhere just because his skills are not up to your standards ?

You cannot really assess my skills in an interview the same way I cannot really asses whether it's actually worth taking your offer. Money talks bullshit walks. Eventually at the end of the day all of us unless really financially secure are in it for the money.

Just to add, it is rare for most companies to be able to compete with the Googles or Facebooks of the world in pure compensation. You have to win these people on other grounds such as increased autonomy, more work flexibility (working from wherever - I have had co-workers who got to spend time working remote from eastern Europe and Nepal at my small company for example), promotions (smaller companies are more able to offer title promotions than big companies for new hires), or other perks such as fantastic environments for employees. These are especially important for retention and hiring better employees than the norm.
America, as well as all empires in history, were created and then kept together via military force.

In contrast, the EU started out peacefully as a trade organization. Membership in it is purely voluntary. This makes it quite unique.
As I wrote: "What exactly do you find difficult to parse, or think that could be read in another way? Care to give us a plausible interpretation of my initial comment that is in a different spirit to my subsequent rephrasing?"

I don't have any nefarious "purposes". If anything, I clarified what I mean in 2 follow-up comments to help anyone stuck up with the phrasing discuss the actual points.

If you don't like my use of "having to wait" you can always refer to the other 2 comments, and tell me any counter-arguments you have with my actual point as paraphrased there. Unless you want to stick to criticizing my use of english and avoid any more difficult subjects.

I still consider the initial phrasing perfectly valid for what I meant, which is: "UK people don't have to wait for EU bureaucrats to make laws for them anymore, they can now make their own laws" -- without being forced to automatically comply with any law or directive the EU puts out.
The first part you're correct about, so no argument there.

The second part sounds like a "private, free market" solution, which has had, at best, limited results. What's to prevent an ISP from simply prohibiting customers from using a VPN? If Netflix and Hulu can do this, why not Spectrum or Comcast? Your claims about ad-blocking can be used against you since there are companies that will prohibit you from using an ad blocker.

This is exacerbated by the fact that in many areas, there is only one ISP available, so there is no free market. Additionally, these companies will use any means to slow down or stop competition, so that's not an option. In this case, the government is the only organization that can effectively regulate these companies.
Agreed, why would they spend money on trade negotiations when we might have an outbreak of common sense and decide to stay.

us in the West underestimate the degree to which the
North Korean people are into their own propaganda/mythology.

A lot of people truly do underestimate this. It is hard for Westerners to fully conceptualize but the ideological roots of Juche religious aspects.

A surprising number of North Korean experts actively refuse to read Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-il writing on the subject. Which the DPRK actively distributes online. Ignoring primary sources is weird when you're an expert in subject matter.

The main purpose of Juche (from the ideological, not material stand point) is inscribing the significance of the socialist revolution into the consciences of the people at a religious level. As Kim Jong-il goes on to explain that people _need_ some social construct of a deity figure on a sociology-psychicological level. The goal of Juche is to place the importance of the revolution there (as communism is famously extremely anti-religious).

Kim Il-Sung's writes that while socialism may extend to politics, education, and military life. It does not extend to the social and religious aspects of life. Without that daily constant re-enforcement people may lose site of its long term goals. He goes on to blame the failure of the USSR on this, one of his many critiques of Stalin.

---

We rarely think but in English the expression, "Oh God." Is one deeply rooted within the western Juedeo-Christian tradition. It links our culture back to history of everything Caesar to Charlemagne to WW1 to the present.

Once you can conceptualize that sociology-psychicological connection you can really see how deep ideological indoctrination can run. Furthermore what Juche and the DPRK has achieved.
Fiancee and I watched Forks Over Knives and did the "let's try it out for a month" thing as well. She has been totally vegan ever since for more than 3 years now. I eat nearly entirely vegan at home as it just doesn't make a lot of sense to keep two sets of food in the house. As someone who really enjoys to cook, it's also been really fun to learn how to cook new types of dishes that don't rely on animal products.

When we order delivery or eat out at restaurants that aren't specifically vegan restaurants, I'll eat the occasional meat dish. The real hard one for me to give up has been cheese. Vegan food companies can make pretty decent faux meat, but vegan cheese is downright awful.

I am not quite sure what it is that you want. It seems obvious to me that containers should have more overhead than CGI scripts; it also provides a better isolation story. I mean, you already said it:

> [the Apache/CGI model] does provide for a challenging security environment. That can be improved when starting from scratch though.

And the number of lines of code in the example probably doesn't quite matter so much, because that's all it is: an example. I am sure that you can run more lines of code than that.

> Euhm ... what was the criticism of mod_perl/mod_php again? Yes, that it did exactly that.

I mean, that's also basically my point, that Lambda is basically the CGI of the container world. Lambda and CGI scripts really do seem like they are basically the same thing; I still speculate that they will be used to fill similar use cases. I am not really opining on which one is actually better.

Yep, exactly that. A while ago I took a consulting gig where the company couldn't afford my rates; we just negotiated working 30 hours instead of 40 at a weekly rate that fit within their budget. They got the expertise they wanted, while I got time on the side to work on other stuff. Win-win.

If you can't match salaries, then you can move other levers (work/life balance, flexibility, etc.) in order to get an agreement that's suitable for both parties. For example, I don't think Google allows for part-time engineers for the majority of the rank and file. For a startup, if they're more concerned about results than butt-in-chair hours, it might work out depending on the role.
I remember seeing a photograph of Quentin Tarantino shaking hands with his producer and thinking: the craniums on these guys are enormous. It was the first time I realized consciously that when I look at people with large craniums I do automatically assume they are smarter.

I live right in the middle of a hotspot for "street people" in SF. I struggle internally with this question daily, because I see many mentally ill people roaming the streets just outside my apartment. I've run the whole gamut of solutions and emotions for the past 5 years, and I can only come to this solution: let them refuse treatment, but make living on the street the least viable option for them.

I know deep down there isn't much that can be done without incarcerating them, but I also know that taking someone's freedom without proper cause is worse than letting them possibly die by their own choice. There's too much potential to abuse power that let's you lock up someone who is, by and large, law-abiding but mentally disturbed. The hair splitting is dangerous.

That being said, in short order I will likely move to a location in SF where I don't have to see this tragedy play out day to day. If I can't help, and I don't like the current solution, at least I can avoid the situation altogether.
Since the interviews at Google/Amazon/MS is famously hard they don't have the average developers (or shouldn't, then they have done a bad job with the recruitment). THEIR average is not the same as the average in the industry. I do think they are a bit closer to the average than they think but not very close to it.
Zero cache misses would be possible. If threads handed off data in a fine-grained fashion, with the cache essentially unchanged between switches.. Just like procedure call and return. In fact, maybe instead of procedure call and return. Impossible with the current model. Possible if thread switching was lightweight.

The idea is, threads are expensive (cache misses) now because they happen infrequently so the cache gets stale. But if they were as common as call-return then they'd behave at least as well. Except for this lead weight (today) of kernel switch/register reload/state reload.

I thought this made for a really good example of how cartograms could be incredibly misleading depending on the underlying data you pick. If you didn't know what was going on, you'd probably look at that map and think, wow, China is so democratic! But of course it's a one-party system and people are only voting for limited choices within that party at a very low level, so, not so much.

I also can't tell if the map is supposed to illustrate turnout as a percentage or as an absolute number. The wording ("Territory size shows the estimated proportion of all people who voted in elections between 1945 and 1998 who voted there.") suggests the former, but the actual sizes on the map appear to be the latter, which makes it nearly indistinguishable from the population cartogram: http://worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=2
