> Hypothesis #3: Trucking companies offer competitive pricing for such last minute offers since available space in a moving truck is a perishable good — if you don’t sell it out the opportunity is forever gone.

Is there a parallel with free seats in airlines? If yes, then the solution is the exact opposite of discounted pricing for last minute offers.
I don't get how BoA would pay when the SSN didn't match.

But maybe the LASD didn't cite the SSN, but just the bank account that they had erroneously identified. But still, it's mind-boggling that they'd be so sloppy.

Aliases in PowerShell only alias the command itself and can not supply any parameters or other processing. This makes certain things nice, in that Get-Help works straightforward with aliases, and tab completion for arguments as well, but it complicates the case where you want to supply default arguments or do other things. You can run Get-Content Function:help to see how it can be done. Essentially it consists of:

- Writing a function

- Redirecting to the correct help topic

- Replicating all parameters and parameter sets so that tab completion works

Of course, if help and completion are irrelevant to you (wouldn't work correctly out of the box for bash either, I guess), then it just consists of writing a wrapper function instead of setting an alias.
A good and honest opinion for 2017. But probably not for 2050. You see, vision is something you go for the long haul, not a couple decades. The world will evolve a lot, specially in the sense of using Space, Moon and Mars as the foundation to colonies.

One thing i do believe is the possibility to mining space (specially asteroids, like this -> "NASA to explore asteroid made of $10,000 quadrillion worth of metal", google it).

I imagine SpaceX and Blue Origins playing a huge part (if not all) in the future of this kind of exploration.

Unity has its issues (mainly bugs that need fixing), but it offers great usability without the need to configure anything.

GNOME on the other hand is a usability train wreck, ran by fucking tools who almost bankrupted the project by funding social justice projects (https://archive.is/jCGA2).

There's no Linux alternative to Unity right now that offers a slick, minimalistic UI with a search interface for programs and files and with good out of the box keyboard shortcuts. Please, by all means, try to prove me wrong here, because right now I feel like going back to Windows after ten years of Linux.
An introduce video for automate workflow with Jenkins pipeline

We are using the pipeline-as-code (i.e. Jenkinsfile). However, the new pipeline plugin does not allow diamond shaped dependencies (e.g https://i.stack.imgur.com/iQFWT.png)

Jenkins does allow 'parallel' jobs but that is the same thing we want.

The thing about living on Mars, is ... it's gonna be exactly like living on earth socially speaking. There will be morons, suboptimal structures, chaos, forced order, etc etc. A bit like living at the North Pole, without the air (until they complete pressurized bases).

Some days, I can handle the front-end world. Other days, I just want to go back to writing old-school desktop clients in VB6 or WinForms.

Absolutely correct. This is pocket lint to Bank of America. The big banks operate at an absolutely mammoth scale; BoA has 208k employees. More consequential mistakes than this happen by the thousands every day. There is, quite literally, a budget for it.

It is an unfortunate reality for the US that you have to present as a savvy professional, but as soon as BoA is institutionally aware that there is a savvy professional who is at the point of involving a lawyer, I give them ~48 hours to make the decision internally "We're totally paying that" and a total resolution time of under two weeks.

If it were me here, I'd ask for the branch manager at my first visit immediately after getting the run-around from tier 1 CS. I give better-than-even odds that the branch manager can self-resolve this, particularly for a longer-term customer or relationship they'd otherwise have reason to care about. If the branch manager isn't super receptive to that immediately, walk into any lawyer's office and say "I want a letter written to Bank of America saying that they owe me $X plus whatever you charge for the letter." (If you for whatever reason can't afford a lawyer or can't get a lawyer to take you seriously, you can get much of the same effect by saying "Regulation E" on paper. [+])

Your lawyer won't even have to threaten a suit over this. Everyone knows the score here.

(I use to ghostwrite letters to banks. One of my weird hobbies.)

[+] Regulation E governs electronic funds transfers at US financial institutions. People who know that are very dangerous people for banks to annoy, because Regulation E contains a state machine which is very consumer-favorable, and there is an implicit threat of "I bring your operation of the state machine to the attention of a bored regulator who has no joy in their life other than opportunities to hold your feet to the fire for improperly operating state machines."
"Unix considered harmful"

I think "a demonstrably inhumane environment" may be my favourite description to date.

There are many terrible assumptions in the design of the shell. Not least:

Use short commands (because they're quicker to type in theory, even though you'll waste time huge amounts of time in practice looking up commands and switches, because even the average god-like greybeard can't remember more than a few tens, and beginners have no chance)

Use terse switches (ditto)

Text is universal and computers are text processors (not true back then, even less true now)

Make no attempt at standardisation (switches are effectively random between different commands)

Quick hacks are better than a smart and structured environment (this was always bullshit and has caused endless grief, not just in Unix, but in everything touched by Unix)

Software forks are good (not in the shell, they're not)

And now computing is buried under the dead weight of accumulated cruft and poor theory and practice - probably forever.

But that isn't even the real problem. The real problem is that research into humane OS design seems to have stalled. CS academics could band together to design something smarter, better, and friendlier than the current shell. But there seems to be zero interest in starting a project that would generate huge productivity and reliability gains and also make low-level computing more accessible to ordinary users.

I find that baffling, and actually rather disturbing.
Yeah, no joke. Immediately at the end of the article, one of the suggested articles is "America is ‘over-stored’ and Payless ShoeSource is the latest victim". Looking at the other recent articles, it is a theme.

I run Ubuntu primarily, and forgo apt-get in favor of nix. I've never run NixOS before (some day..).

I haven't used flatpak or snap before, but the comment I linked outlines a lot of the benefits I see with nix. Conceptually it's more like Make + a package manager, if Make were a (well designed) pure functional language and wasn't afflicted with grotesque generated code.

I think they used React Native for Web
https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web
Wow, I never realized that. In Germany judges must be selected "in abstract" beforehand, so that when a case is filed the judge is already determined.

And the court's secretary must under no circumstances tell anyone who is next in rotation (most courts use some sort of modified rotational system), not even the judges!

Any deviation would make certain that revision would be granted.
But wouldn't academics have to at least show framed diplomas somewhere? Or research?
Other settings I appreciate:

rebase.autoSquash true

When committing you can specify --squash=<commit> or --fixup=<commit>, `git rebase -i --autosquash` will then automatically move and mark the relevant commits in your rebase queue. Setting autosquash into your config enables it by default for all interactive rebases.

user.useConfigOnly true

that's really convenient when you routinely use multiple identities on the same machine (e.g. personal and work): by default if you haven't configured an identity locally git will fallback to global, and then to guessing based on your current user and machine.

useConfigOnly mandates an explicit configuration, then you can just remove any global user or email, and git will require the correct configuration of any local repository before allowing commits.

alias.original "!git show $(cat .git/rebase-apply/original-commit)"

when performing a rebase (interactive or not) it can be difficult to remember what the original intent of a specific commit is when it's mixed with conflict markers. This shows the original commit being rebased.

alias.git "!git"

I regularly type "git", go do something else, remember what I wanted to do and type "git <command><return>". This makes "git git git git show" work instead of barfing.

Finally

merge.tool <yourtool>

Will automatically use the specified tool when invoking "git mergetool", if you like external utilities to perform merges or conflict resolution (e.g. emerge, kdiff3, araxis, vimdiff3, meld, etc… the list of builtin tool support is accessible via "git mergetool --tool-help")
I wouldn't say the code is really that small in its language context, which is why comparing code by lines is inherently fallacious.

It's just that a large percentage of languages are quite similar in how they're structured. Since Pascal and at least until Java/C#, most mainstream languages ended up roughly doing "one thing" per line. Quite often one function call or simple mathematical operation. Then each function or block of a larger one does one larger thing. And so forth.

Code and/or languages that break that paradigm are often confusing to "switchers" and thus often abandoned or maligned way too early.

But most often, they're just scanned differently.

Assembly would be the opposite end. It basically takes "do one thing per line" to the extreme. But quite often, experienced asm programmers scan the program by blocks, as some patterns are quite common or you find some constant/string to attach your focus to, then continue from there into the details.

Forth programmers obviously read slightly differently, due to the high level of decomposition and the stack based nature (fewer parameters).
Lisp looks a bit weirder at the first glance, but I wouldn't even say that it's read all that differently from the Algol family, if written imperatively enough.

Functional code, in almost any language, often has to be read differently, as a lot of things can happen in one line.

APL and some DSLs (regular expressions for example) are the opposite end of the spectrum. But line length would be the wrong axis to judge things, the amount of operations isn't necessarily that much smaller.

Data exchange (arrays vs. stacks vs. function parameters) is the bigger change, as is symbolic density (APL symbols vs J shorthand vs. function names vs. HiHowYouDoingIAmAnAbstractJavaBeansFactoryConsumerImplementationNiceToMeetYou)

Has this other evidence even been presented yet?

Yes it has - or at least enough that the judge found it compelling. I'd speculate it was something like download logs or something. From the reporting of the story I've read there doesn't seem to be anyone arguing that Lewandowsky didn't access the files. The question seems to be about if they made it to Uber.

I any case I don't think that is relevant to the question regrading the 5th amendment, and I suspect that is why you are being downvoted.

Lewandowsky and Uber's interests don't align here. It's pretty easy to see a scenario where Uber loses this case and then sues Lewandowsky.

Of course Uber wants Lewandowsky to give up his rights here. Lewandowsky has some pretty complex trade-offs to consider.

given that even a simple question was downvoted, I can only conclude that there are likely a lot of Google employees downvoting anything that doesn't support Google's side in this dispute.

I'm not sure how you figure that. I'd imagine it would be Uber employee's downvoting you, since your question really shows the big problems Uber is facing.

My best bet would be to restart/re-instantiate a community around CyanogenMod/Lineage OS, Android being F/OSS after all. Though maybe the community around CM is still strong (I honestly don't know).

Question is, are you willing to spend money (or testing/integration efforts) on a community O/S for your phone in exchange for knowing that you're not being spied on all the time?

I could imagine a model where you pay a reasonable price for a tested/supported third-party O/S, but maybe CM has shown this isn't economically feasible.

That paper basically says "coal is bad" but again, kind of throws natural gas under the bus in a sneaky way.

"almost certainly would have been supplied by fossil fuels instead (overwhelmingly coal)"

So they've established, coal is really bad. That would be a really powerful argument for nuclear if people didn't already know that. How about running the numbers for nuclear plus as much natural gas as necessary to follow load, vs renewables plus natural gas? That seems like the real question. (Numbers here being cost, time, C02, health impacts, deaths etc. because deaths are acceptable if we could have saved enough money to save many more lives elsewhere).
An interesting analogy because a lot of people in the USA also think it's good to hit (spank) children.

* I disabled UO, and I can see no ads on twitter, other than the occasional promoted tweet.

* Ads can be served very discretely (as pointed out above), and doesn't have to "bloat" a client from a sub-1MB to a 20MB app. Ads also doesn't have to adversely affect (much) how fast something loads.

A third point would be how much gain ads actually drive, but that's another discussion.
