I have to say: I think Snowden is a hero, but based on what I know right now I'm not sympathetic to Reality Winner.

To me, it seems like this leak undermined several ongoing investigations and hurt our chances of getting to the truth. (With this information exposed, anyone being investigated will have their guard up now.)

I wonder: what was she thinking? I imagine she must have thought she was doing the right thing (rather than leaking for personal gain). Did she think this information would not reach the public for some reason? It's clear she didn't like Trump. Was this really just a reckless leak?

It's really silly that we have the technology of AC but cannot control the temperature accurately enough.
Being from Texas, that is such a strange perspective to me. Around here, air conditioning is the main reason why you need insulation.

Heating isn't a major concern. Many houses have electric heat because it just isn't worth the cost to put in something more efficient.

But air conditioning is needed a large part of the year. And in the summer it gets quite hot, so electric bills can be very expensive. So in any newer construction, there is a lot of effort to make things energy-efficient. Houses have double-pane windows, radiant barriers, thick insulation, and leak tests to make sure that hot/humid air from outside cannot make its way in.

There are certainly older buildings that aren't very energy-efficient, but around here I don't see that as being because of air conditioning.

Just reading through these comments makes me wonder if its really the "Bro Culture" or just the reality of trying to force 100 people to work in the same place. It seems inevitable that the majority of "like" people are going to have the strongest social presence.

If you can't stand the environment this creates then it seems like trying to find a remote job would be ideal. That way, aside from the occasional off-topic meeting, work is work.
Can a statement be made about the size of these diagrams w.r.t. the size of an implementation in e.g. Haskell?

For example, can these diagrams "blow up exponentially" like deterministic finite automata do w.r.t. their source regular expressions?
Actually, I guess there are two things:

1) If you have a class definition inside a function, that function doesn't get jitted. The functions in the class definition itself can still get jitted.
2) Class methods that use super don't get jitted at the moment.

So if your class definitions are not in the same function as your hot code and don't use super, you get fast paths. Otherwise some things will run in the interpreter.

> Most people in the Bay Area don't need AC.

I second that. The Bay Area has this gloriously perfect climate where you need nothing more than a table or ceiling fan in the summer, a small electric space heater in the winter and nothing at all most of the time. With the right architecture and insulation you could spend almost nothing on heating or cooling.

Why did no one mention the Romans yet? They came up with the frigidarium where you could literally cool down with your friends and some private houses even had water running inside their walls to cool it down (or hot air in the colder months).

Temperature control in buildings is 100% architecture and technical add-ons like AC are a poor choice. Look at termites how they use architecture to cool their hives.
The alternative to spending X minutes waiting for a CI build is spending slightly more than X minutes executing a manual build with a nonzero chance of time-wasting mistakes, not doing nothing.

Not waiting for a build means not testing it, in which case a manual non-build of an uninteresting software configuration seems attractively elegant but a CI system still provides value by recording that a certain configuration compiles and by making the built application available for later use in case it's needed.

Sure, there is definitely a lot of possible improvements for the code examples, like avoiding `clone` on a heap allocated strings, etc. I had some really odd issues when passing a statically allocated strings to the `libc` functions (the function's arguments from the previous calls ended up concatenated in the later function's invocations, just use `strace` to observe that behavior).

Massive energy consumption to the point of overloading power grids on hot days continues to be a problem in some areas.

Massive increase in cost of electricity is due largely to the infrastructure needs of meeting peak demand events caused by sudden widespread AC use.

Those who don't use AC in their homes are still paying higher prices in order that the system can cater for the people who use AC.

I'm not sure how to say this, but I've been in a position to see what the US government considers some of its most valuable technical resources. More than a decade ago, a very specific breach of security happened in a specific place, operated by "a company". That organization sent in a team of people from D.C. for five days that specifically were "extraordinarily good" at their jobs in order to analyze the machines where this breach happened. All three of these folks were stumped for three days by deleted browser cookies on a Windows machine, no kidding. I was originally one of a handful of suspects, but hearing about their ineptitude was so fucking infuriating that I wouldn't keep quiet. Eventually, one of the people in power in that place (who was on my side) convinced the "crack forensics team" to hear me out. So I met with them and discussed the plan, and then I walked them through installing a stupid FOSS utility for recovering deleted browser cache and cookies, and they were able to extract a URL, account name, and timestamp from the cookies on the machine which then let them pull up the right footage from the security camera, and catch the criminal responsible. The person in charge of the whole thing offered me a job (which I did not take). Ever since that day, whenever I hear something like "extraordinary law enforcement effort" I think about those stupid contractors and how I could have somehow suffered legal problems because of them. I absolutely do not trust the US government's claims about its own technical capabilities. I mean obviously not everyone working for the government is an ID-10-T, but here is supposedly one of the best technical teams this organization has to offer, and they can't even get this really basic shit right. And not just "can't get it right" but consider the ramifications of their being wrong! Amazing, and eye-opening, and frightening.
I've always wondered if going to college immediately at 18 is the wisest of choices. Personally I worked numerous jobs until 30 and earned my bachelors in history and political economy. I always appreciated each class and all that was offered while everyone else around me being way younger were recovering from the night of partying before. I know how I was at 18, I was tired of high school and ready to just explore the world. I did and when I went to college it was on my own dime and when it felt right.

Granted what was learned would be considered soft, nothing that could really show in the coding world.. and I get it.. you go to get technical skills to get a good job. To me though if this is what college is about then perhaps we should aim for more of an apprenticeship type set up like Germany. Liberal arts colleges can exist still, but it'll be to teach for a more mature crowd able to pay out of pocket and not being something made almost as a requirement. That's not to say you need a college degree to succeed.. I was already set up in my career at the time without any college experience. Considering now I'm trying to start an aquaculture company I probably should of majored in marine biology... then again.. I really didn't become passionate about over-fishing until I took a political course on it. Shrug.
I think about it pretty much backwards from that. To me the value of realizing it's a diploma mill is that you know you need to do most of your real learning independent of class. Taking the the classes and tests seriously is a distraction from that. You might be more right than me, though, looking at the attitudes of other students.

Putin’s playbook for discrediting America and destabilizing the West
Well, my take on this is that you can't fight the system. But you can change system.

There are numerous books on change management in business, and most of them conclude that it's a lot easier to start a new company than to change an existing company culture. That is, unless the change is trivial (by various definitions of trivial).

Likewise I think you are better of finding more free minded people. You can burn yourself out trying to convince a single conservative person. And the alternative is that you find peers where you can share your experiences freely and spend you energy on your own voyage, not on the acceptance of it by your dissaproving surroundings.

By this I don't mean that you have to stop seeing these sceptics, just that you choose what you tell them. You have to adapt to your surroundings.

Of course it sucks to realize that you cannot truly be yourself in a certain group, but I think that is a sad truth that lurks in our society today. There is a reason why so many alternative thinkers flock to big cities.

I definitely don't believe that you are the only one feeling like this. Most likely there are many in your surroundings. But people put their needs aside to conform to the social group, and that is what they expect from you too to stay a member. If you don't want to live that life, you have to break free.

I wish you the best of luck!

This is what people are missing on Lambda. It's pay-to-play, and for 90% of the sites out there, they're paying too much in comparison.

If you're running server instances 24x7 for an application that is doing < 25 requests/minute on average, you would probably find your hosting costs come down (perhaps to zero) and your reliability would increase considerably if you moved to Lambda-style applications.

serverless.io is a decent framework to get started (allows for local dev and testing, manages deployment) and is agnostic in terms of deployment target: AWS, IBM, Google coming soon, etc.

The only reason we're not rolling it out everywhere at work is because it assumes all developers are deploying directly from their term with god-like CloudFormation access. Nope, nope, nooope. We just need to build the deploy pipeline for it, and then off we go.
