> what different ways are there to measure or enforce 50Mb/s, and how far apart can they get? Is the problem more about what 50Mb/s means, or is it more about the differences in sustained bandwidth requirements?

And, in the egregious New York case, it's not just about "oh, congestion might mean we get unfairly dinged", it's things like Charter selling (renting) D1 / D2 modems that are physically incapable of more than twenty per cent of the "up to" speed they are charging the customer for.

"Here, pay for 100mbps Internet. Your modem cannot deliver more than 20mbps, but you're not supposed to know that. And when the FCC called us out on it, we avoided a fine by saying we'd replace those modems. And then we didn't."

And the FCC / cable lobby is wondering why states feel the need to go around them??
Switzerland was one place people use the name of as the hallmark of their service being free from surveillance while still residing in a developed country.

So which will be that new country now, since apparently Swizterland isn't that option anymore? And what if that new country does something similar? Then next? And then? I don't think there will be many countries left to go to in that case. Or any, after some time?

So, aren't user privacy and fight against surveillance running towards a wall which is the deadend?
i agree that python has a surprising amount of useful packages, but unless you are using those unique-to-python packages, then i honestly don't understand why you would choose the language. i have seen it used in two cases where it shouldn't have been used. one had no use of special python packages and to be honest, the ecosystem was a mess. so i disagree with the robust ecosystem part. the other case was transitioning academic work to a product. it's obvious they used python in their academic work but to continue using it for a product with user interface and speed requirements made no sense to me.

I think this is more around the mechanisms of abiogenesis rather than how a single celled organism became Brock Lesnar.

The process detailed here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjPcT1uUZiE) no doubt has been refined through evolutionary pressures, but even the earliest of organisms must have had something similar take place in order for the traits encoded into DNA to be passed from generation to generation. This mechanism is something we can barely observe with the most advanced technology available to us, let alone reproduce or synthesize on our own. I think this is what the original question was about, where did that first process come from?

My girlfriend does this already, but uses the return system from various stores. Buys identical things in different sizes to see what fits best, returns the ones that does not fit.

Makes sense to have the discount if you keep items, savings from processing returns.
State-level speed tests aren't necessary, the cable and telecom lobby groups argued, because the FCC runs the Measuring Broadband America program to verify whether the largest ISPs' in-home broadband speeds match the providers' speed claims.

This is where it is astoundingly obvious that lobbyists have no technical sense whatsoever. It's analogous to saying "States shouldn't be allowed to determine their own optimal speed limits based on the terrain of their counties' geography ... or the conditions of the roads themselves. Potholes don't matter. Mountains, ice, etc., ... those local things are all irrelevant. Just tell us if it's a highway or rural road or freeway, and we'll let you know if it's allowing the best speed."

I understand why the telecoms are doing this. The ISPs don't want to have to upgrade infrastructure to deliver on their (often nationally)"advertised" promises. And behemoths like Comcast/Xfinity, Verizon, AT&T really don't want to invest in infrastructure that benefits only "the last mile" when they have impatient investors focused on the short-term stock price.

It's harder for a local company to lie to its customers... it will go out of business (or get sued into the ground) pretty quickly when it does. But for these entrenched behemoths, they just don't care. And that is really bad for almost everybody.
Incase anyone missed the recent cloud firewall announcement
https://blog.digitalocean.com/cloud-firewalls-secure-droplet...

This might be possible because of the advances in software defined networking. Cloud firewall removes the hassles of setting up complex iptables in the name of network security and frees those extra cpu cycles and memory utilization.

> WRT private class members, I can understand why this might be frustrating for library writers. But it's just so damned useful to be able to reach into a library and get functionality the library's writer didn't think I'd need, that I'll personally never consider this to be bad.

I can only really think of one instance where I've used this, and it was to work around an outright bug in the library (which was unmaintained, and I was using out of a certain amount of desperation).

FWIW, most of the complaints around private in my post would actually be solved just by having a separate namespace for "private," even if there was a back door. I'd be pretty willing to forgive that.

> Multi-line lambdas would certainly be nice, but most of it can be handled with a scope-level function.

In the absence of the with statement can you really imagine yourself writing this all the time:

def _with_body(f):
print(f)
print("I am a teapot")

with(open("foo.txt"), _with_body)

?

Strikes me as pretty ugly, despite not actually adding much code.

> As for syntax, no need to use Ruby's syntax, just incorporate parenthesis (a well established continuation construct within Python):

Yeah, that's a bit nicer.

> As for the example error - there is a typo. Of course it's going to throw a traceback. The error message is even more explicit than I expected, frankly. It pointed out the missing function name, which would make the typo rather easy to find.

Yeah, that was kinda my point; I was comparing this to what happens if you try to "take duck typing to heart", where you don't get the error until you try to call request. The earlier you find out about mistakes the better.
I wouldn't follow an answer from 4 years ago; the space moves incredibly fast (well with the exception of the scaling debate).

This is how I feel about it too. Tab users seem to be saying that, with their configuration of vs-code, tabs work fine. I like a format that works fine with cat, sed, grep, and all of the other unix utilities in my githooks.

I like decorators.

I don't quite understand the author's complaint about this specific case of decorators. An initial read makes me wonder why he doesn't use dynamic routes, which is where the decorator / function-name pattern really starts to shine.

I think the lack of a pricing model and how short the free period is (until Oct 2017) makes it hard for many users to even justify testing it.

I happen to agree with him on this post. And, although it's excellent advice, you have to understand, its not a popular view point, and that by taking this advice to heart, you'll deviate significantly from social norms. The vast majority of people value "impressive" things as he's defined them and won't put up with your Objective analysis of what's good.

Case in point, They'll sneer and look down upon you for buying the 10$ jeans (that are the same or better quality as 100$ jeans!), or a refurbished 2 year old 150$ android phone, that works perfectly and has everything you could ever need. They'll hate on you for buying 2nd hand excellent products at low prices. I could care less what they think, but nevertheless, it still impacts how they interact with you.
Now. "Exponential" is faster than most people, including myself, can believe. When one unit of resource doubles your computational capacity, it doesn't take many units.

I like to use the analogy. Adding 1 GB of RAM these days isn't that big of a deal. You can maybe open two more tabs in Chrome. :) Adding 1 giga-qubit to your computer would make it 4.6 x 10^301029995 times better. That's unimaginably more powerful than anything any human can think of.

We don't have quantum software engineering figured out. And it's not going to be figured out by a few academics, although they may lay some good foundations. It's going to be figured out by the same folks who figured out traditional computing: people who try stuff, break stuff, and experiment.
I keep thinking that "employer" is the biggest confounding variable here. A quick survey of some of the big players, whom I would presume pay premium salaries, seem to favor spaces over tabs.

Any proper IDE/editor has auto-indentation nowadays, so there's really nothing special about Emacs anymore. Obviously even with auto-indentation you still have to agree on the right convention for a given project. As with most code style debates, it usually doesn't matter that much one way or another as long as you make a call and keep it consistent across the project.
> Talking on a channel is more like talking aloud in a team room with one or two people

That's annoying enough on the real world. When an application not only makes it the default, but makes sure you are placed in a bunched of noisy rooms at the same time, it's bad.

There's no reason for "room" notifications to be enabled by default on any application.

No upfront cost is going to be a big selling point. It's the same thing Jack Threads has been doing for some time with massive success.

I don't think it is fair for the sole earner in a relationship to say "Sorry, I will only support my own parents, yours are SOL".

Seems to be a very self centered view, and not respectful the relationship he is in with his wife. When you get married, you take on some responsibility in caring for members of their extended family as well.
compile-time code generation can only get you so far, unless you're ready to generate every single kind of query beforehand ( which grows exponentially with the number of -to-many relationship). You'll have to rely on introspection but i suspect things won't go smoothly.

anyway, it should make for a good exercise i'm sure.

as for the definition of Object-Relationnal-Mapper the idea is to completely abstract the fact that you're storing your object graph ( or struct graph in the case of go) in a relationnal database. To do so, the developper provides meta data , like an xml file or annotation, to describe the mapping. This is a pretty hard problem.

The earliest baseball mention of a “southpaw” - as
found by Tom Shieber, senior curator at the National
Baseball Hall of Fame—appeared in the New York Atlas
in 1858, but in reference to a left-handed first
baseman, not a pitcher.

The first documented use of a phrase or term in print, does not mean that the writer used it according to the original intended context, especially since it does not specifically get used in a passage that explicitly states the intended use and origin.

The atlas doesn't explicitly state: "We decided to call him a southpaw, because we're inventing this new term, and not because of convention, and it means 1, 2 and 3, because x, y and z."
Or here's an obvious improvement: catnip response. It's good for the owner and good for the cat - fun, energizing, cheap, and safe. But around a third of cats are catnip-resistant ( https://www.gwern.net/Catnip ). It's autosomal dominant at high frequency, so it would be easy to increase all the way to fixation with a little selective breeding (and that also implies, along with the widespreadness of catnip response in the Felidae family, that catnip response isn't harmful). Just, no one has.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Social Media Ban for Sex Offenders
For German customers this is nothing special.

As a customer, you can order from any Retailer and return within 14 days without giving any reason, as we have a special "Fernabsatzgesetz" (Distance Selling Act).

Nearly every Retailer offers free returns and above 40 Euro purchase value, returns even have to be free of charge.

Many Retailers offer more than 14 days, 30 days is nothing special and some like Zalando (a Zappos clone) even offer 100 days of free returns.

I don't know about the deep learning side of things, but on the mining side of things, over the past month, my calculations are that ~50,000 GPUs are added to mine the major GPU-minable coins every day -- from roughly one million GPUs on April 1 to about 3.5 million GPUs now. At an average of $250 revenue per card, that'd work out to ~$13M revenue per day in GPU sales for cryptomining, split between AMD cards and NVidia cards. This, however, is up about ten-fold from March, and in all likelihood will return to those levels as mining returns inevitably decline.

Source of this data is my own calculations using historical data on mining difficulty for the various coins, plus benchmarks for typical/optimal-ish GPUs used to mine each coin.

There's some survivorship bias due the "orbit we're talking about".

The reason the new CEO is coming into place is that the old one didn't work out as intended, and the board has set its sight on someone they think would do a better job. Such desirable person is usually not living off unemployment benefits, is comfortable financially already, therefore has little motivation to jump ship unless he gets a substantial increase in pay.

The board could potentially hire via an ad in the paper or a temp agency advertising a salary at 50c above minimum, saving stockholders (themselves included) massive amounts of money, but yet even the most financially stingy and cost-hawking shareholders - private equity folks and activist shareholders - usually don't resort to that.
As a retailer I hate this style and we make sure we add a hefty restocking fee if an outfit is no longer in a pristine condition. We compete on price, strive to bring best deal US-wide to our customers, but can't really sustain/accept model allowing this. It's also unbelievably damaging to environment and customers like this aren't worth anything to us.
Seems like this really simplifies the experience, letting you send clothes back in the same box and with a prepaid shipping label.

It feels like it's set up to make returning substantial numbers of pieces of clothing more normal and expected. I'm guessing at other retailers with a free shipping/return policy, they'd frown on very high return rates.
Do you think it's possible to create an ethical ad network? It's something I wonder about at least once a month, but I'm not sure if it could compete.
I remember reading about a large company in Russia doing something at least 4 or 5 years ago (I think it was Lamoda?) where they sent along a "fashion assistant" with your selection of clothes.

The fashion assistant drives to your place with all the clothes you want to try, waits for you to try them on, perhaps offers some suggestions, and then leaves with whatever you don't want.

Has this type of idea ever been explored in the US?

Certainly the GA release will have all of that information, but given that large product releases like this are about a year of work, and part of the release schedule for us is a beta test with existing customers the introduction is basically to invite customers into the beta if they want to participate, and also that is the final step before GA release.

Customers who want to be a part of the beta are using the actual product that we are developing, but we don't commit to specifics publicly incase things change, which is why it's a beta release, not GA.

They are inextricably linked, so you can't give financial advice without understanding the motivations and desires of the individual. The OP left that out because he probably doesn't realize that your finance situation should work for your motivations. Having financial goals without life goals is a great way to make sure you're not broke but no meaningful life.
For me, and I suspect this is pretty status quo in the US, the number that shows up in my checking account biweekly is my annual salary divided by 24, minus taxes and automatic deductions for mortgage, 401k, stock purchase, health plan, etc., with the occasional bonus thrown in to mix things up. It's a very arbitrary number and it would be impossible to back-calculate my overall compensation from it.
