I know that. But they won't let users change the default policy to RemoteSigned...that's what I find annoying. (I can't use stuff like posh-git as a result.) The proposed workaround is to copy scripts into ISE and then use the "Run Snippet" feature. How does PowerShell present more of a surface than the standard Windows APIs available to any executable though?

My pet peeve. In graduate school we had professors, lecturers, working professionals etc constantly calling us students "kids" even though we were all 25+ yrs old. I believe this is a pretty American thing to always be infantilizing people.
Although it may sound cold to some, the truth is that people don't consider the global population count in regards to their concerns about growth. Population growth is usually something one considers in regards to their own country, and within that country it's not uncommon to consider one's own demographic groups primarily.

As an example, I highly doubt a Japanese person concerned about birth rates is concerned about the boom in Africa and other distant nations. Japan's population is going to decline drastically in the coming years, and they don't want lots of immigration to make up for it. It won't surprise me if they do something weird eventually, like the state paying women to have children the state itself would raise. Technology like this could open up even more strange doors.
Aaron Patterson did a really great talk detailing the process called "Code Is Required". He's a really great presenter both humour wise and manages to often explain relatively technical things very understandably. Highly recommend watching this (and his other stuff)

I'm super puzzled why you think that the generational hypothesis should hold in every language, to the point that you're willing to reject empirical findings in other languages that contradict this presumption. If some language did not obey the generational hypothesis then this would not contract any single - not even one - prior empirical finding, unless there had also already been experiments on this subject in that particular language. The field of GC is way too young to start extrapolating findings from some languages to all languages.

Favorite part is how he mixes the register allocator with a chain of seds.

I did something similar with a youtube downloader I wrote, using a long chain of seds. It is not as beautiful as Python but it is smaller and faster.

When I shared it with HN the youtube-dl author called it "unmaintainable". By who? I have had no problems maintaining it. :)

Looks like there are at least three semi serious storage related blockchains: sia, filecoin and storj.

Are any of these reasonable to actually use at this point? It looks like siacoin doesn't actually allow for true backups yet. Filecoin hasn't launched. Haven't looked into storj much yet.
I'm not sure I fully understand, this would be pay walls on everything wouldn't it? If so, I agree it greatly increases pricing clarity but I'm not convinced it's an improvement necessarily.

I'd also mention that many freemium businesses actually introduce paid models to control costs rather than improve profitability - particularly true for streaming media companies.

I have a lot of nice blue chip stocks that don't do that. Companies that not only pay me dividends far greater than any savings account, but the base value of the stock increases as well. None of these companies are tech or speculative stocks. They are solid big corporations manufacturing real things that people buy to live. Maybe it's essential. Maybe it's artificial cheese and soda pop. But it's something regular people buy at the corner store or the equivalent. And there's lots of them. And this activity is essential in some way for them and nothing about the transaction is misrepresented or unreasonable.
I have a Win10 laptop which it's performance is nowhere near a gaming machine. 3 Firefox flavors are installed on it (2 of them with a lot of extensions) and I don't remember the last time I've seen them crash or require force-quits. Don't have a good guess about the experience you have been through with it.

About that mouse issue; have you ever tried a different mouse or reinstalling it's driver? I don't know Mac and I don't remember how it was on Linux, but if a mouse clicks or moves just a little bit, that wakes the system up on Windows machines. Till you got the random mouse clicks, it looks like it's a #1 suspect.
Correct. To view the JIT-emitted code, you can either use a debugger or set a special environment variable (COMPlus_JitDisasm='NameOfMyMethod') that tells the JIT to emit some logging about the code it generates for that method (it appears this is what the author of the blog post did).
It's not purely the sampling that's doing it to Hollywood: In some fashion, it's the heavily-derisked blockbuster formula to blame, and technology comes along for the ride.

Tony Zhou's Every Frame A Painting [0] offered a take on how the tendency is to work very closely to a temp track and then ask for something identical, which of course can only get you increasingly similar sounds. Dan Golding responded to this by adding some nuance, noting that temp tracks have always been in use, so the answer has to be a little more complicated, and he points back to the technology. [1] I would say that the technology is just a piece of the puzzle; you can order in a different type of sound and get it, whether or not you're using a computer-heavy approach. That's aptly demonstrated by the variety seen in indie games, for example. This is a problem that movies have made for themselves by being focused on fitting everything to a formula. The occasional film does slip through that has a great score that draws on something bigger than other films(for one example: Scott Pilgrim vs the World).

I completely agree that they shouldn't be risk free - that was probably a harebrained idea to make college cheaper and more accessible to everyone, but it completely messes up the incentives.

And I know they're technically optional. What I was saying is that we shouldn't be trying to build the idea that it's OK to default if you're better off financially not paying people back into our culture. Trust is important to the functioning of society.

(I work at Google but don't speak for them; I have access to internal retention data but I'm not looking at it or using it here.)

I think 90% retention is (probably?) an underestimate. People tend to look at measurements of tenure, see a short number, and assume Google et al burn people out/have revolving doors. Instead, that's really a function of the still explosive growth we're going through (for better or worse; I say worse but who listens to me?)

(Which still serves Patrick's larger point.)
But it's pretty hard to solve a problem without money. There are a lot of people out there already trying to solve problems. But not enough giving them the money they need to do so.
Then that brings up the next issue -- would students choose the simple college over the more expensive one? After all, they can get a loan for both, and many 18-year-olds make different (less beneficial) choices then they would later in life.

Do you mean generally positive for [the stock price] or [potential earnings]? Seems like while layoff announcements generally would improve earnings they hurt stock prices. It may be related to the perception that layoffs are often reactive to worsening conditions rather than proactive right-sizings of the business.

I was never rooting for Uber, I never said I was. I'm fascinated by Uber, I try to remain objective in my analysis, I don't think they're good guys. When they rolled into my city, I was the lone contrarian in my local subreddit saying 'Hey man, watch out, they play dirty', and getting downvoted into oblivion. I've never actually taken a ride in an Uber. For normal people outside the insular realm of tech news, I don't know anyone who's even paying attention to their borderline shenanigans.

No, I got that idea. But, for his examples, he mentions existing solutions could have been lifted.

If the suboptimal stuff was existing, I take your point. Perhaps it was straight from LK?

But writing something new, that has flaws, as a placeholder...when something better exists already, and has a compatible license...that seems fair game to question.

Especially if it's something that has tentacles and creates dependencies. Placeholders sometimes don't stay as such.

I love PowerShell. We use it to manage farms of machines, and I use Amazon's excellent PowerShell aws library to do everything from managing my Route53 DNS to setting up new Amazon VPCs.

Security issues aside, it's by far the best OS shell scripting language around, and it has concepts that make it different from any other attempt to write a shell language that includes pipes and redirections.

That is part of the issue, but it is also an excuse so that universities can hire vast numbers of administrative staff that they have historically never hired. Why should a small satellite campus of a major university have 2 officers on duty 24/7, when they respond to anywhere from 5 to a dozen incidents a month?

That is 8 full time employees plus space & equipment doing a BS job that should be handled by local police (who also happen to be overstaffed). Should a university really be blowing that much cash needlessly?
> If I'm not mistaken, historically, only the rich have gotten these sorts of degrees.

I'm fairly confident you're quite mistaken.
Exactly.

If it's all you ever use, maybe. But any language has the same effect (with a different lens) if it's all you use.

It's difficult to really say for certain what's going on. The adjustments I'm sure are very crude compared to what case assignment decisions are actually based on, for example, so I'm sure they're adjustments wouldn't really account very well for patient illness severity or other subtleties along those lines.

Another possibility is that younger staff are more likely to be questioned about things. "Have you thought about X?" causes them to rethink something and make a revision. If older staff are just assumed to know what they're doing, they might be questioned less.

The fact that differences weren't present among physicians with a large volume also makes me wonder if this is just a fishing expedition that wouldn't replicate. Not to cast aspersions on the authors; just to say that if you slice up any dataset enough you can find something.

Finally, the differences aren't huge...
The transatlantic crossing is notorious for its erratic conditions. Sometimes one can go a whole crossing with nothing but fair conditions; other times people are less fortunate. However, winds are normally high (enabling quick passage). But with winds comes waves and the large rolling waves of the Atlantic can pose a significant challenge to smaller vessels.

The solution for this vessel was to heavily ballast the vessel. With this comes a large sacrifice of speed.

It's notable that the prototypical ocean-crossing monohull could be said to be the Volvo Open series, which are used in the Volvo Ocean Race (a triannual race around the world). The LOA (full length) of these boats is 72.6 ft.
> What I was saying is that we shouldn't be trying to build the idea that it's OK to default if you're better off financially not paying people back into our culture. Trust is important to the functioning of society.

I disagree with this. We saw people during the GFC screwing themselves by continuing to pay mortgages that they were underwater on out of some misguided sense of honour.

In that case, they should have walked away and left the bank saddled with the stranded asset. Loans are a commercial proposition with a risk and a reward. Introducing washy hard to define concepts like 'trust' to pressure one side only screws the good guys - the unscrupulous ones will do what they want.

Better to have a clear playing field where both lenders and lendees understand there will be situations in which the loan isn't going to get repaid and have the risk of that priced in.
My friend had this issue when health issues required her to drop out senior year. No degree, but saddling debt. The deals you make are always temporary and often misunderstood. If 90% of borrowers aren't doing something, there's a reason.

The best thing that she was able to do was to declare chapter 13 bankruptcy, which shut down the collections bullshit and trickery and let her pay debt down. In her case, the student loans picked up a prorata share of her payment which put a dent in the balance.

The funny thing about the situation you describe is that there are real world examples of similar circular dependencies.

I recall GitHub having an issue like that where their build pipeline used Bower which is hosted on GitHub. When shit hit the fan and a build broke the site, they could build the "fix" as Bower didn't work.
Ramen doesn't need to be sodium terrible. Even with cheap Top Ramen and similar, you don't need to use the entire "flavor packet", the noodles themselves (which are all you're interested in for the calories) are low in sodium.

Even ages ago when Top Ramen was a staple of my diet, I found it much too salty to use the entire flavor packet.

When you pass laws to force government organizations to be wasteful, they will comply. Outside of that, not wasting taxpayer dollars is generally a high priority.

A great example of laws purposefully foot binding & hobbling organizations is USPS, who is not allowed to up the ante and offer any modern services, and has to severely overfund their pension obligations, to the point that they are funding pensions for people they haven't hired.
When did you go to school?

There are different strata of academic. The adjuncts make peanuts and are either people who are stuck with a vision of being in academia or outside professionals earning a buck.

Tenure track professors end up making good money, which imo is well deserved.

Now you also have this middle tier of professors who are wandering nomads on 2-3 year contracts. They have a professor title, make better money than adjuncts, but tend to get dropped at the end of the contract. My neighbors boarder is one of these folks -- she commutes about 200 miles from her home and stays in my town for 2-3 days. This is her third contract like this.

> We're also far past the point where human pilots and crew might be able to do something about it.

I disagree. In the incident described in the article, the pilot could have prevented all of the damage--if only the airplane had responded to his control inputs. This was not a situation that would have been hard for a human to handle--if the human had had the ability to tell the airplane: stop listening to the computers and just listen to me.

> The real solution is redundancy.

There was plenty of redundancy in this case. It didn't help.

I think the real solution is, as I said above, to give the human pilot a last-ditch way of regaining complete manual control of the plane. After all, that's what the human is there for: to intervene if it is clear that the automation is doing the wrong thing. That was clearly the case here, but the humans had no way to stop it. That is not a good idea.

My own experience working at CoreOS is that many of our projects exploit self-referentiality as it's a particularly useful property.

Off the top of my head:

- Quay.io, our registry service, is built and deployed by itself

- Clair, our static analysis tool for detecting security vulnerabilities, analyzes itself

- Tectonic, our enterprise Kubernetes distro, is "self-driving" and manages itself

- discovery.etcd.io, a service we run to make it easier to bootstrap new etcd quorums, is just a quorum of etcd nodes
Don't the pilots have the option of engaging alternate flight rules in this case? Or is that not how it works?
I can see the appeal, so long as characters like l1I are distinguishable, and indentation was done well.
Older doctors can probably diagnose TB better, but I would wonder if that can be used as a core competency measure of a doctor. Also, I believe there are cases younger doctors diagnose a lesser-known disease when older ones could not.

There can be all different sorts of anecdotes, but the link was about a study with more than 100k doctors, which would be a stronger evidence that the probability of survival is better for patients with younger doctors.
Are you talking about PLUS loans? Because those ARE loaning money from parents; it's just that the parents borrowed the money to loan it and it's the parent's responsibility to pay it off. The government loan isn't to the child in the first place.

Yes. Unless your editor happens to do some really nice formatting.

I don't think that has to routines. Goroutines are multiplexed across threads automatically by the scheduler, so all I have to care about is describing concurrent operations. Further, all I/o is async under the hood, so you never have to worry if a call will block the thread. Also, Go's concurrency is muuccchhh simpler.
