I'm not really a fan of gnome, but that would be great.
I used to be on a team that wrote JS this way and I really enjoyed it. Now I'm in a Flow/React/semicolons-and-classses-everywhere type place. I find this style so much more pleasant.
Random nit: is it just me or is the font rendering pretty terrible in the "web" screenshot?

I believe this is just a standard set of rules for ESLint but Prettier is more like gofmt for javascript.

Last I used it Prettier it was very opinionated, but I think you can override it with ESLint rules now which you could use StandardJS to do without needing to write your own.
You come up with a discovery plan that both parties can agree with (or one that's imposed by the court). You figure out the scope of the search (which DBs, hard drives, phones, etc.), the search terms to run, etc. You do depositions of employees to figure out who and where else potentially relevant documents can be. Obviously you can't prove a negative, but you end up doing an exhaustive search.

From what I gather the judge is only saying that things look very bad for Uber/their employee as it is. So he's basically telling them "Help me out here, and show us the evidence so we can see for ourselves if things are as bad as Google is showing them to be. Otherwise we just have Google's evidence to go on, and it's looking very bad for you!"
For me StandardJS is the same as having no linter at all, because it doesn't take action on the problems that can be actually harmful, like the ones I mentioned.

An excessively long function, statement or a complex function is a liability because it almost certainly cannot be tested or reasoned about. And all the negative consequences of not being able to test or verify code.
> The world has changed a lot since 1969. Many homes don't even have network television anymore.

All homes with TVs that receive broadcast, cable, or satellite TV have network television.

I think you probably meant broadcast/OTA television, in which case a survey from 2016 shows that 17% of U.S. TV households rely on "broadcast-only" television reception, and that was an increase from the previous year.

However, that number is disproportionately higher in poor, Black, and Hispanic households. For example, it jumps to 26% for households earning less than $30K/year.
I agree, there are problems and non-intuitive aspects to both approaches to probability. Otherwise there wouldn't be two approaches.

I think your objection to frequentism unfairly conflates the idealized world with the physical world. Only in the idealized world can you assert a priori that a coin has 50% probability of coming up heads. In that world you can toss the coin infinite times and it almost surely comes up heads close to 50% of the time.

In the physical world you merely have a model stating that heads will come up 50% of the time. In this world you could toss the coin millions of times and have it come up heads 66% of the time, but all you've done is provide really strong evidence that your model is wrong.

Also, you left out 2 arguments against frequentism: it allows inconsistent beliefs, and in practice it has allowed bad approaches in scientific papers.

As for the Bayseian view, being non-intuitive isn't the same as problematic. The Twins Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox violates our intuitive understanding of how time works, but that's because our intuition is wrong in some conditions. You thought when I said the coin had 50% chance of coming up heads that I was making a statement about the coin, but really I was making a subjective statement about how I would bet. If you believe it's 25% then there's a clear way for us to resolve our different beliefs.
no, if efficiency were your primary concern, then you would work to lower the adverse action rate of 11%, because typically you need to manually review each potential adverse action to avoid violating the FRCA when you reject the candidate. "clear" records require no manual review (obviously) so are more efficient than finding adverse records.

by contrast, uber & lyft are able to do background checks with less than a ~2% adverse action rate.

it's debatable that background checks make passengers safer, so getting rid of background checks altogether would be the most efficient of course.

checkr (https://checkr.com/) has built a nice little business doing background checks despite the inefficiencies.
Naive, as in having an adolescent conception of the relationship between men and women; that's sad.
His choice isn't Uber's. True, and legitimate. But Uber wants him to be able to make that choice, and still continue as the head of Uber's self-driving program. That's what the judge is very unsympathetic to.
That is something entirely different. It's not like you are going to see difference in display servers and GUI shells, when you are using only console apps.

To me, anybody who argues that PBS should be cut loses all credibility as a budget hawk (if they had any to begin with). PBS is an incredibly valuable public-private partnership. For every dollar the federal government spends, two or three listeners listeners voluntarily contribute a dollar of their own money, much of which goes to their local community. Other programs should be looking to public broadcasting as a financial model to be emulated.

Or WebView-based cross-platform toolkits will win, in the end. (Electron, Cordova, React Native)

Given FirefoxOS is also retired and ChromeOS seems to be in the process of being replaced by or merged with Android, I figure the cross-platform toolkits are more likely to win than the browser OSes.

> Omitting semicolons actually has an effect in JavaScript, and there are many examples of that. The Google JavaScript coding standard advises specifically against it for good reasons.

I just gave Standard a try for the first time, kinda surprised I'd never seen it til now. Anyway, it seems to also check for those semi-colon gotchas. If I try to use no-semicolons incorrectly, it catches my mistake. (I tried by putting the return value on the next line)

That abortion ban was in fact social initiative (some NGO got 100k signatures for their project) - government had nothing to do with it, and in fact they stopped it later in parliament.

As for "separation of powers" the issues with Constitutional Court were in fact caused by the gaps in Polish Constitution that make it impossible to sort things out in case someone questions legality of appointing new judges (Constitutional Court judges are considered demi-gods in Polish legal system, they can even pass sentences in their own case, which is incredibly fucked up).

It might be interesting to compare the partnership agreements vis-a-vis Hulu and RoomKey to find where the weakness was in RoomKey, whether it was just "Huh, people turned out to like this Internet project, we better start micromanaging it," or if it was something more structural.
I pay for a RH support contract... and it's a ripoff, if you ask me. Unless you're a MASSIVE company spending MASSIVE dollars... response time is slow. The turnaround time for a simple issue was like one question and one answer every 24 hours. It took me almost a week to get a simple registration issue worked out.

The #rhel channel on FreeNode was WAY more helpful in terms of skill and response time, and that was free. :/

I want to pay, to support them, but I'd like it to be worth it. Currently, it's hard to see where it is.
They don't even have to access it. They just have to ask for the documents.

That's what Grafana [0][1] is for -- i.e. creating nicer displays for Graphite.

However it's single host, doesn't scale

It may take some effort, but it can be done, and much of the heavy-lifting seems to have been done and been made available as open-source.

Here's a blog post from Jan. 2017 [2] from a gambling site about scaling Graphite.

And here's a talk [3] from Vladimir Smirnov at Booking.com from Feb. 2017 about scaling Graphite -- their solution is open-source (links in the talk and slides available at the link):

This is our story of the challenges we’ve faced at Booking.com and how we made our Graphite system handle millions of metrics per second.

Is this satire itself?

>Freedom of expression should end when the right of others to be respected starts.

"Be respected" is such a vague catch-all term to incorporate into legislation. What happens when some action you take is deemed "disrespectful" towards a political figure or other person?

>Certainly in the US when I was living there it was not ok to insult the President

This makes zero sense, unless you lived in extraordinarily isolating circumstances. Americans can, do, always have "insulted" the president, whether in discussion or blogs or opinion pieces or graphics, all the freaking time.

>Probably this has changed with Trump and the WaPo, NewYorkTimes, The Economist and BBC all day trying to shoot him down.

You are woefully misinformed. Plenty of liberals "insulted" George W. Bush during the 2000-2008 tenure, and plenty of conservatives "insulted" Barack Obama during his. To claim otherwise is simply ridiculous.

Do Americans disagree? Of course. Do we fight about stuff? All the time. Do we insult each other and write long prose about how the other guy has got it all wrong? Every day. And sometimes it sucks. But the freedom to do all that is what matters.

So what's the goal of this project? From the announcement it says

there are lots of new rules in 10.0.0 designed to help catch bugs and make programmer intent more explicit.

Then in the FAQ it says

Can I use a JavaScript language variant, like Flow?

Before using a custom JS language variant, consider whether the added complexity (and effort required to get new contributors up-to-speed) is worth it.

The goal of variants like Flow is to catch bugs and make intent more explicit! We have to consider if it's worth training up new contributors on this, but we don't have to consider the contributor cost to learn all of feross's personal JS style preferences and API opinions?

I get the goal of having a uniform style - that's important and valuable, even though StandardJS's decisions don't match the style predominant in the JS community. But it seems like there's been a lot of scope creep here where now there are specific rules for specific APIs and other stuff that is well outside the domain of "Let's all format our code the same".

> Red Hat doesn't see CentOS as a threat (as it did OEL).

Quite honestly I wonder if this was a big motivator for them to take CentOS under their wing. Why go with the totally unaffiliated community distribution when you can go with Oracle for free (somehow)?

I've been using CentOS for some time now, and have never been happier as the release cadence has only gotten better since RH started supporting the project directly. There's no real reason I'd even consider Oracle Linux at this point as a result, considering neither comes with commercial support without purchasing a paid support subscription.
I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people getting OTA broadcasting will begin increasing.

I don't know anyone my age that doesn't watch mostly streamed content, but we all have digital antennas for local broadcast and the important live events.
Just as I expected, I'm downvoted into oblivion.

Anyway, maybe in the US there are no limits to satire, but I am sure most of the rest of the world has limits to satire. Ridiculing the premier of a nation in such a manner does not in any way aid to the strength of face of that nation to the rest of the world. Just look at how the ridiculousness of the Trump satire makes a joke out of the US system. Just saying...

More downvotes in 3, 2, 1 ....

ALSO, TO YOUR POINT: Who is the judge of what is satire and what is fake news? If Donald Trump called Obama an illegal immigrant today, or better still a wiretapper, is that satire or false accusation? Could he possibly eventually defend himself saying it was satire, his own type albeit? This whole satire thing is a slippery slope. It must have limits.
Hopefully one day you don't forget to run it and break production :)

Usually good standards can be assimilated and make you code in a safer way, even if not enforced by a tool.

You could argue that a script, version control hook or continuous integration script can take care of it, but those are lines of defense that can go away in certain circumstances and you are unnecessarily raising your odds for an incident.

Sometimes people add a block comment to disable linting, and if you were relying on your linter to provide the fix to allow your bad habit of not using semicolons, then you are on your own.
And you typing that comment was influenced by the same manipulators who want me to believe that, yeah it's turtles all the way down. Joking aside; it's usually all much chaotic that one person controlling another; or a group controlling another.
It's worth pointing out that the "former employee" in that quote was not Levandowski.
Oh no, this is a very dangerous mis-interpretation of philosophy.

The word itself can be literally translated to "love of knowledge": "philos" (love, from the same root as "phile", as in "francophile" or "anglophile") + "sophos" (wisdom or knowledge.)

Science is one subsection of philosophy, but certainly does not have a monopoly on knowledge. We "know" quantum mechanics (because it works for small things) and we "know" general relativity (because it works for big things) and yet they cannot coexist as we understand them today.

On the other hand, how do we know that human life has value? Certainly not through science. There is no axiom or mathematical proof that says, "a human life has value." And yet it is pretty absurd to think of progress or knowledge independent of human value. What's the value of science if not its positive effect on humanity?

Truth, in the philosophical sense, makes no sense unless it relates back to reality in this universe. Relativist truth is, in my opinion, a necessary thought experiment but breaks down in the real world; therefore it is not true in the true sense of the word. "Cogito ergo sum" is not relativist in any sense—there is no other side to thought requiring existence.
Must every comment be an argument?
> The point of tragic fiction is to say: the world would suck if it were like this, so let's try not to make it like this.

I think that is a narrow interpretation. Many tragic plays are catalyzed by sheer misfortune rather than anything we could draw a practical lesson from. Stories don't have to be educational to be deeply moving.

I don't know what metric to use for "best," but I think "makes a good story" is preferable to "minimizes human suffering." You may find that horrific, but it's only horrific if you view suffering as meaningless and unnecessary. On the contrary, suffering is the engine of the world! Every achievement was motivated by a feeling of lack, and every happiness we enjoy is derived from our equal capacity for suffering.

If you accept that, then the question is: "why, then, do we observe events of suffering that do not serve any discernible purpose?" That is, if this really is "the best of all worlds," then how can it contain meaningless suffering?

That's a much better question. If you're in my camp, and you do believe that this is the best world, then the only option is to argue that there is no meaningless suffering. You can only declare something meaningless if you know its complete and total effect on the future. Since we don't know the future, we can't know for sure whether anything is truly meaningless. Now, we can't know the opposite either -- we can't know for sure if all suffering will eventually turn out to have been meaningful. That's where you either lean on your faith (if you have it), or take the agnostic position and declare the whole thing moot.
