I swear to pizza, in my hometown they are removing TWO ENTIRE MOUNTAINS because rocks keep slipping on to ONE of the South-bound lanes. Last I heard, the estimated cost is over $50M. Only 50k people live in the entire metro area. Population is halving about every generation on top of that. Best part is, this route runs alongside a river. On the other side of that river is an identical route. They could literally just shut down the road and not even need to build any new bridges...
I'm more in the Spring camp, but most of JEE is annotations based. You can put a Betty backing under it without much problem. Spring Boot does it even more readily.

I'm not saying that Kotlin is bad, but most things are now pretty equal. Java 8 has functional/OO hybrid. It has annotations. It has modern tooling that converts the boiler plat into a few keystrokes.

Yeah, I don't think it's actually their reason for the change. It's just one hypothetical consequence that the decision makers probably failed to consider. Still, the decision makers should be investigated for conflicts of interest because they've made a really fishy-smelling decision.
>Fairness means getting what one deserves.

Merely begging the question. You might as well say "fairness means doing the right thing."

In your comment, you've use the word fair/unfair, but still not specified a proper criterion.

If you want to say baby's born to the lowest percentile should have the same opportunities as those in the top, that's a concrete statement (measurable, etc). Why do you have to bring the word "fair" into it?

Incidentally (and off the topic of fairness), there are easy ways to solve the problem - but those are ways no one (including, I'm sure, you) would accept. So looking at one criterion in a vacuum with the rest of society is problematic.

As someone who grew up in Appalachia and has since moved to NYC and built a career in tech, it hurts me to read stories like these and think about how many good people are getting left behind, due to factors largely out of their control. Sure, folks could uproot and abandon the area, but that solution is no less tragic. In terms of natural beauty, few places can rival. With a bit of enlightenment about what opportunities already exist in affordable tech education, some meaningful investment in infrastructure, and some entrepreneurs willing to get their hands dirty, we could turn this region around. Silicon Holler has a ring to it.
I agree. Not every switch is hype motivated. But one must be very careful and stay rational in making switch decisions.

It is symmetrical, but there are nuances.

If A closes or errors out, the proxy should first push out any pending data and only then close B.

The same goes for when A sends a FIN - it should flush any data queued at application level before calling shutdown() on B's socket.

If A becomes unwritable, it should stop reading from B.

In 1997, Perl was a "scripting language". For context: ArsDigita was one of the pioneers in building database-backed websites with things other than C and C++ --- ACS, in Tcl --- and that was roughly the same time period.

This is the world Paul Graham was talking about in "Beating The Averages" --- actually, he was talking about a time ~4-5 years later, when the industry mainstream was C/C++ and Java.

You get my point, I'm sure. Today it would be pretty silly to invent whole new programming language just to get an I/O loop and some helper functions. In 1997, people did that.

I do think that dams look awesome. But of course you shouldn't build them to make the landscape look nicer. Especially today, more dams should be built, both to ensure water supply and as the ideal support for wind and solar. Dams are the cheapest form of mass energy storage - many of them can even run "reverse" and store surplus energy by pumping water up into the dam.

A huge amount of Government money has gone into infrastructure for Pikeville, KY. There was the Pikeville Cut-Through, finished in 1987, where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers moved the river to a more convenient location.[1] That also got the town a superhighway connection with two interchanges. There's the East Kentucky Expo Center [2], which has only two events, wrestling and a beer fest, scheduled for the rest of the year. There's the University of Pikeville, with 2,300 students. There's the Pikeville Medical Center, an 11-story hospital with a 10-story parking garage and 3,200 employees. There's a large, modern high school with a swimming pool. It has 2,300 students, so it must be drawing from a larger area than the town. There's a downtown multistory car park connected by a sky bridge to part of the University of Pikeville.

All this in a town of only 7,000 people.

Population is increasing slowly; it's not a dying town. The town itself never had heavy industry; the mines were elsewhere. It's a service center for central Appalachia. Population within 20 miles is 110,000. The town's problem is that the area it services is losing population.

If you wanted to locate there, the local mall has about 30,000 square feet available. No coffee shop in the mall, but the mall has a supermarket-sized Texas Roadhouse. Eat more beef. AT&T offers 45mbps Internet in most of the downtown area.

While bridging the diversity tech gap, this is another gap that needs to be addressed; the tech-displaced gap (which is the same tbh, and is only going to get wider as time goes on).

Don't want to get too political here, but this "middle-america" vs. "liberal minorities" class war is nothing but a fabrication of the media and the elites to get these two disenfranchised groups to battle amongst themselves- they're the same side of coin.

At 25 I went back to school for programming and it was hard and I only was able to do it because of the support of my parents. For a 55 y/o coal miner with a family to support, rent to pay, etc. I can't even begin to imagine how they would go about "learning to code"- as if they don't have these responsibilities.

Though children are the future, these people are the present, and if we don't find ways to help them (whether it's free community college, bootcamps, or internship placements), they're going to get desperate (e.g. vote Trump), and the future is going to pay dearly for it.

Google's controversial groundwater withdrawal sparks question
Your link doesn't work for me, but I was able to find the case you're referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon_Network,_LP_v._CSC_Hol....

Thanks for that! Like I said, I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure there are other gaps in my case knowledge. It's certainly positive to see the Second Circuit recognizing that there is some need to consider the transient nature of RAM copies before ruling them infringing.

The ruling suggests that MAI v. Peak did not address the transitory argument merely because it was not raised by the litigants, and that the precedent set there (which wouldn't have necessarily been binding anyway) is therefore not abrogated by ruling that some RAM copies are transient enough to fail to qualify.

Importantly, the durations listed here describe the runtime of the content, not the amount of time the data is held in the RAM. It is said that the system would buffer 0.1 seconds (100ms) of content at one point and 1.2 seconds of content at another point.

The Court does not seem to establish "1.2 seconds" as a general benchmark for RAM transience, but rather it suggests that transience should be considered on a case-by-case basis, per the language of the statute.

However, the general rule of thumb is that if a copy exists long enough to derive any value from it, it is non-transient. Guidance from the Copyright Office [0] reads:

>[...] we believe that Congress intended the copyright owner’s exclusive right to extend to all reproductions from which economic value can be derived. The economic value derived from a reproduction lies in the ability to copy, perceive or communicate it. Unless a reproduction manifests itself so fleetingly that it cannot be copied, perceived or communicated, the making of that copy should fall within the scope of the copyright owner’s exclusive rights. The dividing line, then, can be drawn between reproductions that exist for a sufficient period of time to be capable of being "perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated" and those that do not. As a practical matter, as discussed above, this would cover the temporary copies that are made in RAM in the course of using works on computers and computer networks.

and scrapers have been held liable for copyright infringement via RAM copies on multiple occasions. Ticketmaster v. RMG states:

>[...] copies of ticketmaster.com webpages automatically stored on a viewer's computer are “copies” within the meaning of the Copyright Act.

despite the fact that they likely would've been held for a much shorter time than either 100ms or 1.2 seconds.

Notably, this was before the case referenced above, but it's typical of later cases, and it succinctly demonstrates that courts are likely to find RAM copies of an entire work (the web page) more likely to be of non-transitory nature than snippets of ~ 1/1500th of an entire work, regardless of how long they're stored in RAM.

> Netty was first released in 2016?

Netty 2 (the current version that underlies WebSphere and Vertx) was first released in 2004. This stuff is pretty well-bulletproofed. And a lot of folks who know how to write high-performance Java are naturally going to prefer Netty to the C++ alternatives (I am ambivalent; I can do either and I'd probably just use HAProxy to begin with because life is short) because you get competitive performance while ruling out entire classes of errors.

Why were you downvoted? While not an original idea, it does mostly represent the reality of expressed genius. Even if the 1 part inspiration is a required part (i.e. you either have that inspiration/talent/predisposition/whatever it is, or you don't), the 99 parts perspiration correctly convey that differentiation truly arises from hard work and persistence.

Many 'genius' level minds are doing absolutely nothing productive for humanity with their 'talent'.

Investment in infrastructure would especially help, because it would create jobs that could then flow into the local economy. West Virginia is one of the most beautiful parts of America, and could have a booming tourist industry.

End of the day for me is when the kids are in bed, chores done, usually around 8pm. I sit on the couch with my wife, we put something on tv and I code.

We're not even talking the particular incident.

And yet by "pulling in the JVM" (which is a rounding error in 2017), it's remarkably easy to generate a proxy that actually works as people expect a TCP proxy to work. This doesn't even so much as wait for connections to drain before terminating. This "300-line snippet" (which is reliant on Asio, which is not 300 lines by any stretch) is, as near as I can tell, not viable in real-world conditions and the spirited defenses of it that put it as competitive with real-world, battle-tested solutions are profoundly weird.

(Similarly, because I don't really care about JVM versus not, HAProxy--which I'd probably use for something like this because I have better things to do with my programming time--is 90Kloc because it has stuff to do and does it right. Simple is only better if simple can actually get the job done.)

Goodness, your snark that questions the parent's competence is not only unwarranted, it is based on an incomplete understanding of the value of abstractions in programming.

It is not about 40 lines of code, it is about a basic programming model that allows us to understand and create user interfaces irrespective of how complex or large it is. It lets you compose your UI based on a tree of state and pure functions. If you don't have this abstraction, you do not have a coherent programming model to build UIs.
> the C/C++ standards require that zero is not a valid address for any object. So, I don't think there's a problem with the architecture you describe.

IIRC it's a bit more complicated than that...? Isn't it more along the lines that no object may occupy the NULL/nullptr 'address' and that 0 (literal) in a pointer context must be interpreted as NULL/nullptr? IIRC it doesn't specifically say anything about the address 0x00000000 (add bits to taste).

>For whatever reason I just can't get my head around pandas, despite multiple attempts.

You need to work with pandas consistently for a month or two, and then it'll all click.

pandas is not complex, nor deep. It is, however, very broad. Most of the time it is "Here's what I need to do. I'm sure there's an API or two in pandas that will let me do this," and then you spend an hour or so looking at the documentation to find those APIs.

My first month or two was: "I need to do this. Let me Google". Pretty much every time someone had asked that same question on SO.

If you stick to it for 2 months, you'll eventually "learn" all the routine tasks and Googling stuff becomes only occasional.

And it does help if you're familiar with NumPy.

Your complaint doesn't make any sense by itself. You're assuming that they're doing the same or less with more people. I have no idea where you got that idea. Wind is growing rapidly, so the fact that they're employing more people is expected and a good thing. You can't complain about efficiency with only the numerator.
