> there was also no word on official/validated ECC support

I think given all the other Zen CPUs support it i think that is a given.

> 999$ (since it is two Ryzen R7) and 1499$

I think it will be more around the 999$ but the motherboard will be quite expensive, it is after all basically a duel CPU main board. Don't expect to pick up a board for under 500$

You're also missing the social aspect, particularly for girls. Depending on your personality, friendship groups, culture and Family it's often not socially acceptable to spend your free time as a teenager hacking away at stuff. You forget that those of us who are happy to spend those years in our bedrooms hacking away are weird. If you're a geeky boy you can get away with it, some folk may even encourage it. If you're a girl not so much.

The idea that we block off CS as a subject for only those who've taught themselves some programming is absurd and elitist. While we may expect Math students to know Math before Uni, it so happens that 99% of high schools teach the level of Math we expect them to know. In a lot of countries it's compulsory. Same goes with most of the sciences, we expect the level that schools will teach. Unfortunately most schools don't teach programming, and those that do often don't do it well.

Right, though I think the long tail is beyond the line between language and culture. There comes a point where additional words are not a matter of understanding utterances, but of following culture.

Effectively none of the English-speaking world would bother to say "Sochi" without the olympics, but they knew the English language and had enough culture to understand from context that it is a place in Russia which hosted the 2014 winter olympics.

If you know enough of the language that you can ask "what's that?" at a non-disruptive rate in conversation (or look it up quickly in a dictionary or encyclopedia), I think that counts as good enough.

> the language doesn't have any metrics for success...

That would only be useful if the deal imposed sanctions in case of missed objectives. And that was a big no-no because that would never have been ratified by the republican american congress. The deal had no teeth to begin with because of the USA (and in particular the republican party) and now they appear to be pulling out altogether.

The USA is such a weird place as seen from abroad. Ahead in so many areas and yet completely backwards in others. It's frustrating really.
I'll support this if the US applies tariffs to European countries who don't honor their NATO spending agreements.
I think it is ok to express displeasure at the state of something without just silently doing something else and hoping that the entire ecosystem catches up to you. For example, I take every opportunity (like right now, for example) to shit on node.js and npm for that very reason. There is so much evangelism on one side, it is nice to hear the opposing view points.
Obama could have tried that with the Paris climate deal, but now it would require Trump's signature, or enough votes to override a veto (again including 67 Senators).

But both sides seem to be playing by a new rulebook here, in which the President makes international agreements without consulting Congress.
I gave you a clear set of reasons I dislike and will not use Cordova, but I feel like you're just using it as a shield. I mean seriously, Cordova is the reason you're not a "drone in an office?" Give me a break. How about all the people who are using Cordova in their Agile drone office? It's great that you've been able to get into your own thing, but plenty of, for instance, native mobile devs have done the same. Or non mobile devs. Or full stack. Heck, I too have written, by myself, native Android and iOS apps, and their backends. I don't think that's saying a whole lot.

Where did I say I was touching generated code, the cordova.js thing? Because I was trying to find the cause of our slow load in the app and stumbled through their init process into that issue.

The native plugins are usually good, as you mentioned, but don't cover more complex use cases. No, I'm not going to go through and talk about all of them -- this is two or three years ago now. We wrote native plugins for the features we needed that weren't available for our use cases, and it seems likely that any advanced app will end up needing to.

Your point about "compounding pain" is exactly how I feel about Cordova, because as I mentioned, it's as complex if not more in a hybrid app. You're fighting the build system, the js engine, the layout engine, etc. It's not as though you get it all for free because it's javascript.

It's great to enjoy your tools, and again, I'm glad you're able to make an independent living off it, but to claim that it's some sort of life changing tool the whole mobile world needs to take more seriously isn't realistic. And again, as far as new development, I'd love to hear people who are considering going the hybrid route chime in, but I at least don't know of anyone or any companies who are or would go that route.

You basically have two approaches:

1. Write your CSV parser with an assumption that the data is ASCII compatible (this means it works with either UTF-8 or Latin-1 out of the box, possibly modulo non-ASCII meta characters). To support additional encodings---such as UTF-16---either the CSV library or the caller must transcode first.

2. Write your CSV parser such that it can work on multiple different encodings. For example, this means looking for `\x2C\x00` when parsing UTF-16LE data instead of just `,`. This introduces implementation complexity, and you'll be unlikely to support the full gamut of encodings that other tools support whose job it is to do that sort of thing.

(2) is kind of weird but probably quite a bit faster than (1), although I can imagine it being useful in very niche circumstances. e.g., "I have a boat load of UTF-16 encoded CSV data and transcoding it to UTF-8 to use this CSV parser isn't worth my time because ______." I can't actually fill in that blank, so solutions in (1) tend to be the way to go.

Now... If you're building a full on CSV tabular viewer, then I might understand why it should handle encoding for you automatically, but when it comes down to it, the viewer is still going to need to choose between (1) and (2). Unless they want to hand roll their own CSV library, I imagine they're just going to pick (1), and when possible, transcode the data first. In that case, it shouldn't really matter whether their underlying CSV parser supports alternative encodings or not.

It's interesting to think how the Venezuelans nationalized so much industry and used it to fuel socialist economic experiments under the pretext that it was an affront to "globalist western capitalism". Chavez announced that capitalism was a dying economic system. Yet their own failed economic policies only caused further dependency on it.

It's not something that is enjoyable to watch and rub in as the people there are starving and have resorted to mob justice such as lynching in order to have some rule of law.

Are you looking to model the System and its projected and/or perceived outcomes (such as using the field of Systems Theory)? or looking at how those laws/rules/policies are implemented in the bureaucracy?

If you have a proposed law, the law is generally (or at least supposed to be) a framework, and the bureaucracy chooses how to interpret and implement that framework.

If you want to model the bureaucracy (its inputs, outputs, efficiency, etc), take a look at BPM tools like Camunda, or JBOSS. Have done some of this related to local governments (https://github.com/StephenOTT/Gov-BPMN-Sub-Process-Departmen...).

If you want to model the System (a modelled version of the impacts of the laws and how they could impact the other parts of 'society'), then take a look at Systems Theory and related apps. Mesa looks like a good starter tool for this.

Wow, interesting. This info is definitely filed away, thanks.

I don't quite remember but I think I might've been commenting on something on GitHub when I saw the time glitch.

Initially for a moment I thought "why not just have OCD local NTP tracking?" but then I realized that time glitching around (even at the millisecond level) can be disastrous. One way to solve this is to obsess about keeping up to date with NTP, but instead of updating the time, update a global reference to the offset. Then your time server is simply (system date)+-(saved offset), which should be super fast. And of course this can run on the node generating the HTML.

I remember the Heroku founders espoused 6 hour work days for developers. They felt that this was the daily limit for creative workers - and that there was not only diminishing returns after 6 hours, but potentially negative ones (due to bad decisions made when overworked).
It's really confusing how they ended up in this predicament. S3 buckets are private by default. You have to manually configure them to be public-read. Given the scope of Booz Allen's work, it doesn't seem like they needed any of the S3 buckets to ever be just public. I wonder if they're using software or maybe even just copied a script in which the default assumption for S3 configuration and uploads is to set files to be public?

I track all my billable time for last 7 years. My average is 4:30 billable hours a day and I can confirm that every period of over-working ends with equal or longer period of under-working. So the 4:30 is like a gold number. I stopped to fight with this, and now after 4:30 hours I happily clock out and go home. (Yes, I'm self-employeed). This way the only reasonable strategy to earn more without having health issues is to bill more per hour. Exception to this 4:30 rule is non-programming work that doesn't require high concentration: visual design, reports, configuration, CSS tweaks etc - I can do it pretty much non-stop for whole day.

> I pay them. My work pays them.

Hmm. You pay them to uphold a contract. What does that contract say about SLAs and availability? Probably the same as the TOS that I agreed to when paying and those specifically say:

GitHub does not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements;
that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
that the information provided through the Service is accurate, reliable or
correct; that any defects or errors will be corrected; that the Service will
be available at any particular time or location; or that the Service is free
of viruses or other harmful components. You assume full responsibility and
risk of loss resulting from your downloading and/or use of files,
information, content or other material obtained from the Service.

If you negotiate, you might get better terms and guarantees, for example with github enterprise. You might also have to pay substantially more for those.

I understand, it sucks when github is down. But we all get what we pay for and we all don't want to pay for more. And yes, I do have clients that meticulously mirror all their dependencies from outside sources and spend significant money on this - money that pays off in exactly these situations.
