There are honest reasons why a news outlet might take a strong interest in a group of stories.

A journalist might have become interested in a story early, and his immediate collegues then followed once it started picking up steam, for example. It's a bit like why a university might develop expertise in a new field faster than others.

It's possible that that initial interest came from outside influence of a competitor, but it's also reasonable to suspect that it was an honest skepticism from a journalist. After all, it's not hard to be skeptical of the many startups popping up these days.
So the national debt is about 70x the annual tax revenue?
It doesn't need to know about the changes, but it surely needs to notice them as they happen.

For example, FLOSS nginx does DNS lookups just once on startup. On config (re)loads, to be exact.

E.g. when you have "proxy_pass http://spam;" or "uwsgi_pass spam:9000;", you'll end up with permanent 502 (until a SIGHUP) after you've started a new "spam" Docker container and then removed the old one.

There are well-known workarounds like "set $backend "http://spam"; proxy_pass $backend;", but it's nicer when you don't even have to think about this and know that TTLs are properly honored. Caddy does that.
Reminds me of Serdar Argic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serdar_Argic), an Armenian-Genocide denier who ruined USENET for quite some time.

I'm not certain why so much Turkish identity is apparently tied up in denying the Armenian & Pontic Genocides. Just admit it happened and move on!
Great! It really look like a nice portia fork
#region / #endregion, IME, largely serves to mitigate the visual offensiveness of poor (usually, completely neglected) design and (despite the potential utility in the case of code generation, and the utility it might have in the rare case where there is a good reason for a monster source file) I'd prefer it not to exist.
What makes you say that? Google is 'better' at AI? OK, even if you believe that to be true, like every other market AI will be decided by lots of factors other than who has the 'best' tech. Think VHS vs Beta or Mac vs PC.

They include:

1. Cost.
2. Platform/Ecosystem development.
3. Regulatory compliance (lots of rules if you want to handle health/gov data).
4. Sales/Marketing (in this case, probably, marketing to enterprises).

I would argue that Amazon is a clear leader in 2-4, and has the history as a low-margin retailer to be competitive in 1.
Oh, you're right. Whoops, should have paid more attention!

Tarantulas measure distance with their lateral eyes
Why? Isn't the thing about AI that everyone in the field wants to publish? Doesn't that mean all of their competitors will benefit from their research?

It seems to me that Amazon will likely win because they're better at serving customers and willing to engage in price wars.
We used scheme in my programming languages course (which was one of my last course before graduation). at first I hated it, but then once I got it, it was fun! functional programming forces you to think in a way that is much more conducive to understanding programming on a deeper level and thinking creatively to problem solve. Imperative programming, while easier, is more of a blunt instrument. Efficient, but blunt.

In terms of geography, yes. In terms of population, culture, and history - no. Out of 144 million, 110 live in European Russia and they're predominantly Caucasian (roughly 115 million are ethnic Russian). If you were to draw the border on European continent Russia would end up being the biggest European country, both in terms of population and geography.

They are European nation, but over the centuries they expanded their territory to the East http://i.imgur.com/k0DzmyK.jpg

I wouldn't be so sure - for example, out of court settlements pretty much amount to "We'll pay you $x without admitting that we ever did something wrong, and you agree not to sue us over that thing that we totally did not do.", and these definitely are valid contracts.
> The idea of goods having singular prices, determined by the market

My impression is that anyone in business who is more than a couple of years out of college understands that market prices are a spread around a moving average.
The important thing about a trademark is that you start using it. If you run into a problem with somebody else using your name, the most important thing will be who used it first, not who TM'ed it first. In fact, if they TM a name that you had first, you can claw the name and the TM away from them.

Unless you are expecting somebody to steal/abuse your name, there's no rush to TM.
Wow. Your knowledge of computers is excellent for only being 4 months old.
The government absolutely has the same issue, even moreso. That's why public unions are horrible. You've got the government negotiating with unions. And the negotiators get political donations and votes from the unions.

Some unions have their workers best interests in mind. Others don't. When I was in high school, I worked at a union store. I had to join the union. But I made less than walmart workers in the same job category and seniority. The union cut a deal with my old employer that got old workers a sweat deal (some cashiers were making 25 dollars if they worked there since the 70s). I made 7.5. And it wasn't just seniority. I could work there my entire career and I'd never make over 9.5 for part time work. They had different contracts for new employees than old.

And I was forced to pay 10 bucks a week for that bullcrap.
When you come across a single credit card number (say, by finding someone's card on the ground), the response by most financial institutions is to invalidate that card and mail them a new one. Why shouldn't the response be the same if you come across a stack of 100 credit cards?
That's a problem when the coastline is the reason for those industries and residences being there. It's not exactly feasible to relocate the oil refining and shipbuilding industries of New Orleans and Baton Rouge to central Mississippi.
I personally find it short-sighted since I find mentorship opportunities to be a hugely rewarding part of my job. I wouldn't want to take a job in an environment with no junior developers since it would deprive me of that perk. I'd imagine Netflix misses out on other senior engineers for the same reason.

It's also interesting considering a quote I remember from Google about their preference for junior engineers..."fewer bad habits to break."
That's what I thought, until the IRS needed a credit card last 4 digits and phone number to confirm my identity, and said that my phone company couldn't verify my identity...?

What an awful system. I probably wound up a day late with the postage because of that, but those assholes are lucky I filed at all. I was about ready to just throw my 1040 in the trash chute and give up my rebate as a lost cause. My time is worth more than this antiquated horseshit, and if I've learned anything from my grandpop it's that audits don't mean shit if you just keep ignoring them.

So, there's your procrastinator's attitude in a nutshell I guess.
> However, the chances that they will be able to beat Google seems vanishingly small.

I'm not sure about that, for one main reason: Google's acquisitiveness regarding data is even more notorious than its habit of losing interest in products and dropping them suddenly. Both are major turnoffs for business customers, to put it mildly.

Amazon, while it does have a habit of vigorously competing with its own customers (in the retail "marketplace" space, and in others - I find the whole Amazon vs. Netflix dynamic absolutely fascinating) is at least reliable in provision of services and transparent about the exchange of cash for value.

In other words, Amazon is, at heart, a ruthless retailer, where Google is at heart an intelligence agency with occult motives. Google usually has the better tech, but Amazon's the company people are comfortable doing business with.

Edit: I should also say, this listicle of an article is mostly bunk. Lab126 is not a great hardware design shop. The Echo/Alexa "ecosystem" is mostly a bunch of (to be fair, well-considered) first-party integration deals to support popular home automation products - "skills" are a joke for discoverability and usability reasons, even if there were a market for them, which there isn't.

I do agree that logistics (and operations more generally) is an enormous strength. Probably the key one, because Amazon doesn't usually come with the firstest or the mostest - it just executes relentlessly at complex, labor intensive tasks. It is at its strongest in places where it is not primarily competing on tech or features but on consistent execution and the customer reputation that comes from that.

Well, depends.

For example, we had a 10x guy recommend that we re-write our health insurance web app back-end in Golang, but then, we realized that meant we couldn't cover generic prescriptions.

In that case, he wouldn't have remained 10x over the older Python/Django code.

We use regions to standardize the layouts of our classes. Except for trivial classes, you will find the same regions in the same positions making it eas(ier) to find, for example, all methods implementing an interface, or all of the private helper methods.
I use CL quite a bit, and disagree with you.

The standard was great for removing incompatibilities between all of the old competing Lisps, but now that all of the implementations are on the same page and support the base line standard, I don't see the point in updating and revising the standard.

Is there really anything to add that couldn't be done as a library? And while there are warts, it's easy enough to avoid those parts or use macros and libraries to smooth over them. There may be some undefined behavior or implementation specific things in the standard, but it's far less than C or C++, and facilities like the features list makes it pretty easy for libraries to detect implementation differences and do the right thing.

> Without a standard, it seems most efforts to build a new Lisp come to a naught (think Racket and Clojure and Arc and ...)

Seems like a non sequitur. There are plenty of languages without standards that have become popular (Python, Perl, Java, Ruby, Go, etc.) and also plenty of non-Lisp languages that don't have standards and have gone no where. And then there's ILisp, which has a standard and has still gone basically nowhere.
Wow. That's a yuge amount of income.

That ended ~10 years ago. There's only D2 now. We have one user left using D1, and they're transitioning to D2.
Alas, the "economic need" will be immediate when the outage happens, and the damage will be substantial because it hasn't been updated yet. Possibly expensive enough to make an update unlikely.

The "move fast and break things" attitude does not work for infrastructure. And no, the market will not magically correct all things. Major infrastructure problems are expensive enough that damage to them causes feedback loops.
Both dates are 4 days before the tax deadline for the respective years.
I think I may have manually created partial classes for huge classes to make them more manageable. Think for example expression tree visitors or collections of extension methods. Sure, I could just have created several classes like FooExtensions and BarExtension, but having a partial class Extensions seems ever so slightly better to me. But I generally agree, there are not many good use cases besides code generation and if you are tempted to do it, then you probably have a problem that has a different and better solution.

Maybe in Spain but in Latin America it is commonly used (I used to live there and my wife's from there). Obviously the expression "democratization of things" is not something people talk about in everyday's life but it is definitely correct.

I'm not sure quite what you are looking for. I gave some reasons above. I think it's widely accepted to be true among foreign policy experts, FWIW. Here's a bit more.

Some is basic international relations (which I'm no expert in, and I'm writing quickly off the top of my head ...):

Fundamentally, there are multiple powers in close proximity (China, Japan, Russia, and currently S Korea) who are militarily competitive (i.e., there's not one clearly dominant power, as in N. America, whom the others can't challenge) and vulnerable to each other (e.g., not separated by an ocean, like the U.S. and other powers). This is a sure recipe for wars, and there's a history of it happening in East Asia. Furthermore, there is a lot of nationalistic hatred, especially between Japan and the other powers. Another example of powers in proximity is Europe through WWII, where wars were fought for hundreds of years.

Domestically, conflicts are resolved through rules (laws) and mechanisms (courts), and there is an authority to enforce it all (government). In the international arena there is no authority; it's fundamentally Darwinian anarchy and nations, fearing for their very survival or seeing opportunity in the lawlessness, end up shooting at each other. The way Europe stopped having wars was to create the European Union, which provided the authority, rules, and mechanisms (and the American presence helped too). Globally, the United Nations and "international law" serve that purpose to a degree, and international wars have been greatly reduced since WWII, but really there is no authority with enforcement power.

But there is, to an extent, one exception to that last sentence, the United States. The U.S. can play that role to a degree. They aren't a legitimate authority, in that nobody elected them and they represent nobody but their own interests (hopefully enlightened), but they have the power to enforce things when they want to. Much of the world, desiring some order and wishing to avoid crippling wars, supports it to a degree. The U.S. is, relatively to predecessors and to potential alternatives (China, the old USSR, etc.), a responsible steward: They want peace, human rights, and prosperity. The U.S. is averse to conquering foreign lands (i.e., to keep them) and long-term wars. When you hear American officials talk about maintaining the 'rules-based international order' (referred to by some others as the 'U.S.-led international order'), this role is what they mean.

That's the role the U.S. plays in East Asia. They have the power to keep a lid on conflict there, and therefore the local powers don't need to build up militarily and to seek every advantage to ensure their survival.

China is now challenging the U.S.-led international order, including many of the rules that they feel don't suit them. The more the East Asian powers see the U.S. hesitate to fulfill its role, such as during the recent Presidential campaign, the more they build up their own militaries (which is happening rapidly) or consider making a deal with China (which is discussed, even in Australia).

> There's so much pressure to be immediately profitable

One of Silicon Valley's problems continues to be that there is so little pressure to build a profitable business from early on. It's the exact opposite, they overwhelmingly encourage reckless behavior to chase growth over profit, resulting in almost exclusively extreme binary outcomes (as desired by the VCs).

Actually Lustre isn't the only game in town for this. BeeGFS (http://beegfs.com) does a very good job at this as well, has better small to large scaling, understandable by mere-mortal error messages, doesn't require a specific (ancient) kernel or distro for the server ...

So does GPFS ... er ... Spectrum Scale by IBM.

There are a few others that fit in this, but Lustre is not alone here.

Cs syntax can be awful. Similar symbols with different meanings. But, it was powerful, fast and simpler than some competitors.

Bash is frequently used today, for all sorts of things. Its even in production products, like git. However, even its creator thought it was a kludge.

There is no simple answer to language success, but a large group of people adopting and improving a language is probably going to be helpful.
Interesting... how does this compare to https://a9t9.com/kantu/scraping ?

WrapApi seems to tackle the same task (web scraping) from a very different angle. I wonder if anyone has used both and can compare.
That is also possible. I can't find any comprehensive history of blackouts anywhere so it's hard to check probabilities.
The article covers this:

Lawyers tend not to tell they are on internet because of potential liability. Thus when you read IANAL odds are goods that the writer known about the subject but don't want to be liable in any way so he just protect itself.

PS: and if you want an advice by a lawyer that accept liabilities for its counsel just pay for it, because that is the only way you get it.
Agreed, that was the first thing I thought when I looked through it. It's a totally one-sided contract, which is invalid for that reason.

Sure. If you aren't self-employed, your employer already pays your taxes and you're likely owed money by the IRS. It's your choice if you don't want to collect it.

If you're self-employed and not reporting income...well, that's another story. But this is terrible advice that you should definitely ignore, anyways.
The article mentions that unauthorized transactions were indistinguishable from legit ones:

> I'm not sure "Browser" is a good term for this

Having been on the marketing side of a consumer product which used "browser" to describe what it was, I can confirm that "browser" = "web browser" to nearly everyone (analysts included) and is truly, sincerely not worth fighting.

In my experience, until they fix the "browser" positioning, nearly every conversation they have with anyone who might care about the actual product will include 2-5 minutes of explaining and rationalizing the use of a word that people already believe they understand.
> + no checked exceptions (checked exceptions have benefits in theory but real-world practice shows that it forces programmers to copy-paste mindless boilerplate to satisfy the checked-constraint)

As languages like Rust or Swift demonstrate, the issue is less the checked exceptions and more the abject lack of support for them in the language and type system, which ends up making them essentially unusable.

> Gosling said that unsigned types are confusing and dangerous

He is right of course, but he forgets that so are signed types if they're bounded.

If Java had unbounded signed integers (à la Python or Erlang) that'd be one thing, but Java does not, and neither does it have Pascal-style restrictions/user-defined integral bounds, which means it's no less confusing or dangerous, it's just more limited.
> No one said any of those things

* India is sovereign and can do whatever it likes. It can ban American companies at will.

* There are hundreds of thousands of H1-Bs in America right
now.

* Most, if not all, of these jobs should go to Americans.

* Non-profits ( virtually all universities and hospitals in the US ) are exempt from annual caps.

* H1-B is frequently used to illegally replace American workers.

* There are so many Indians and Chinese in the H1-B program that legitimately qualified foreign nationals ( ex: PhD degree holders ) from other countries cannot even get into the US.

* Why is H1-B 80% Indian? India surely doesn't have a monopoly on brilliant people.

* If hundreds of thousands of Americans were being imported into India to do jobs for which there were qualified Indian workers, you better believe that Indians would be extremely unhappy about it.

* And here you are, with the expectation that US professionals should welcome low cost replacements with open arms.

* I live and work in Seattle. Nearly every single American citizen I know is opposed to H1-B. Many are too polite/afraid to say anything at work, but most of them would rather the H1-B workers just went home.
