>CPUC can't predict how well a transition like this will happen

Well they could have (I can't believe I have to say this: monopolies are bad, mmkay?), but they've been captured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

There's that "transition" line again. Still nothing to back up the idea that it's a temporary situation rather than the "new normal." Or more accurately the "new low."

>they can't ban all telecom sales because service might be temporarily disrupted

All? Of course not. But banning ones that create monopolistic / oligopolistic situations in certain markets (the predictable effects of which are higher prices and worse service, including more frequent interruptions of service) is warranted.

In a hypothetical universe where all possible mergers would result in monopolies / oligopolies (and are therefore blocked), that's a feature not a bug.

I think you have misconstrued understand about the culture of Malaysia. I suggest if you want to know more to read more perhaps report originating from Malaysia to give a better context.

There is a shame associated with rape hence many victims chose to be quiet, most families would prefer for the perpetrators to marry the victim.

Furthermore, statutory rape in Malaysia is quite prevalent so the 52% is actually statutory rape.

"So, how much do you think would happen if a foreigner reported a forced kiss by another foreigner?"

If you have any evidence, even anecdotal evidence that a foreigner reported a forced kiss by another foreigner but was ignored in Malaysia, please share it.
One thing I've definitely learned about musculoskeletal problems is that you shouldn't discount apparently unscientific treatments if they seem to work. There's a lot we don't know about how that particular system functions, and things like acupuncture seem to fit into that. That's not to say the explanations they give for why things work are accurate, but the treatment itself seems to work sometimes.

I'm not advocating homeopathy here, but acupuncture, shiatzu, anything involving the phrase "trigger point" - worth a look. Apart from anything else, they're comparatively inexpensive and non-invasive so the cost of testing them is low.

Trigger point therapy gets a particular shoutout here for being one of those things that resolves 10+ year problems in about 15 excruciatingly painful minutes, sometimes. See http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/137795.The_Trigger_Point_...

“Simplicity of text streams”

This is a common complaint about PS/elvish/etc, but I’m not sure it makes sense. Is that “simple text stream” tab delimited data? CSV? JSON? XML?

At the end of the day, what you have isn’t just a “simple” text stream; you have a more complex data structure serialized into text, which will need to be parsed by each command in the pipeline for any non-trivial processing.

Forget Github. It might be just a regular git repo on someone's server. IANAL, but could companies really go against a person hosting the source code of a software that scraps a website?

Even if, that's probably solvable (by turning it into cat-and-mouse game, TPB/SciHub-style). Have a non-turing-complete set of conversion rules that do scrapping -> standardized-data-format via a general-purpose scrapper. Distribute those through P2P. There might be problems with malicious actors, but generally this should be possible to implement in a way that's mostly transparent for end users.

> And you still need to account for upstream changes.

Upstream changes will never be too extreme to handle manually, if we're talking scrapping solutions - because any such extreme changes would also piss off the regular browser users.

WinAPI does not print into console warnings about accidental attempt to drop ref-counted object that has dropped already. So how can you know? Maybe it happens with WinAPI all the time silently.

Not sure why you got downvoted as this is sadly very true
Are these results relevant though ?

Kotlin is also costly when it needs to create an object in order to pass a function (like in a non inlined higher order function).
So I would expect a comparison of the number of allocations too.

From there it gets tricky because it really depends on the JVM you are running on in order to determine if this is going to generate enough pressure on the GC in order to have pauses, but that's a potential cost.

Also .. in the end the results are not that different while the 2 languages have very different capabilities. Delegates, higher-order functions, nullability, data classes, ... Kotlin has a lot to offer.

The same is true in C/C++: Function argument evaluation order is unspecified. BUT: that doesn't mean this is undefined behavior, it is just unspecified.

unspecified != undefined behavior

If you use type annotations you basically already do that. The type (assertions) are mixed right into the business code! And from there it's not much of a leap to keep the unit tests close by.

Integration tests and other, larger tests should still be kept somewhere else, because they often not test a single component (or a single module) but a larger part of the whole application which is harder to pinpoint in the filesystem. So most people put those tests under a top-level tests/ folder inside the project.
I agree with your sentiment but let's face it, sending humans to Mars is as much PR as it is scientific research (maybe even more). Look how we ended up on the moon in the first place. If NASA wants to get the funding it has to make it as marketable as possible.

If there's a big push back from the general population it will be hard to convince the politicians to invest billions in an unpopular project with no short-term dividends.

I am only writing this to inform others that nothing was really working to help my condition.I started on Emphysema herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic,i read alot of reviews from other previous patients who used the herbal formula, my symptoms totally declined over a 5 weeks use of the COPD natural herbal formula. i am now doing very well, all my symptoms completely faded away, my lungs are totally repaired!!

5 EXTENSIONS FOR M2 TO SET Your STORE ON AUTO-PILOT
In Cali, non-compete are not worth the paper they're printed on, all non-compete agreements (in or out of state) are void unless they apply to one of the statutory exemption of the BPC[0]:

* selling the goodwill of a business (as part of or independently from the business itself) (16601)

* dissolution of or disassociation from a partnership (16602)

* dissolution of an LLC (16602.5)

They're not a legal tool, they're a tool of fear. Sadly they are only void not illegal, which they should be.

Of course that assumes the case is heard in California, which may not be the case (see Google hiring Kai-Fu Lee in 2005)

Chomsky on Google's contribution to 'fake news'
Excerpt from video for those who, like myself, prefer to read:

Google talk interviewer: “How do you think Google can and should handle the fake news problem? We have a big hammer. We’re looking for nails.”

Chomsky: "Well, by not contributing to it."

"See, advertising’s a very interesting phenomenon. Any of you who’ve taken an economics course know that... the marvels of the market that we’re supposed to admire and worship are because the market is based on informed consumers making rational choices... Turn on your television set. Do you see efforts by corporations to create... informed consumers making rational choices? Is that what you see when you see an ad for cars? If we had a market system... when General Motors is advertising a car, what you would see is a list of the characteristics of the car, along with a report by Consumer Reports saying what’s wrong with it and so on... But you don’t see that.

"Huge amounts of capital are expended every year to try to undermine markets... by creating uninformed consumers making irrational choices; and driving them to consumerism...

"That’s what ought to be taught in economics courses: massive efforts by the business community to undermine markets."

CREATING a REST API WITH NODEJS, TYPESCRIPT AND KOA
It happened a lot before Reddit too. Forums always used to have this cycle of starting out appealing to more mature audiences before getting flooded with casual users and spammers and many people then moving elsewhere.

Heck, in the world of webmaster forums, the ease in which they got filled with spammers and low quality content meant that the same people usually ended up being members of dozens of different forums and moving to a new site every month or two.
2019 Ford Explorer Redesign, Specs, Release Date
From experience, a 10 person team will keep some employees happy, sure, but the best probably not. Their pay will be too low, and even if not, most good employees eventually want to do more - manage people, work on new technologies, work on bigger scale, etc.

Of course, nowadays I think the average retention at tech companies is like 2 years isn't it? So this is an industry-wide problem. The bigger problem if you're founding a 10 person company is that, assuming you don't want to run this for the rest of your life, you'll eventually want people to replace you, and they will also want bigger challenges, etc.

I once saw a great talk at MicroConf, by the guy who started Balsamiq, which he started with the purpose of being a 1-person company. He soon found he had to grow. The bottom line of his talk is that most companies have a "natural" range of sizes they can be, and you can choose where you want to be in the range, but it's gotta be in there. Very good and interesting talk.

> Surely there must be something in between Facebook and Jekyll/Hugo.

I guess Wordpress is an example. It's got a hosted plan, which requires little more computer literacy than Facebook, and you can also leave at any time and self-host the software, which keeps the hosted offering honest. But it's just not as contagious as something like Facebook. That's the problem, Facebook isn't just more 'convenient' than self-hosted tools, it also has your friends tagging you in photos.
I'd still argue that those experiences and that capability had 'merit' because it was emerging. If you go and try and manufacture hardware in China you can have those same meaningful mundane conversations. Because that's something emerging so there's scarcity of information, everyone is to some extent a beginner and there's therefor incentive to share information. So I don't think it's the people or the conversations, but the environment.
Samsung poised to overtake Intel as biggest chip maker by revenue
It's a bit faster than some SPA's I've used :) I don't think it's as well set up as the GP does though...most links 301 to put a trailing backslash on and while it's served from CDN it's not set up to use the browser cache.
I agree. I have been doing the Kotlin Koans (https://try.kotlinlang.org/#/Kotlin%20Koans/), and so far it has a lot of nice functionalities that make coding more fun.

Just the way it allows you to create an inmutable class in a single line already makes it way easier to read, while also saving time.

Compare Java:

public class Person {
private final String name;
private final int age;

public Person(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public int getAge() {
return age;
}
}

With Kotlin:

data class Person(val name: String, val age: Int)

> If you use type annotations you basically already do that. The type (assertions) are mixed right into the business code! And from there it's not much of a leap to keep the unit tests close by.

Unit tests are about testing behavior, not types. Using type annotations has nothing to do with testing.

Putting tests right along the source code is a matter of convenience thus an opinion.

In some languages like Go it is even "good practice".
That just shows that they understand different or more than/less than.

> Always use //todo: comments to remind yourself and others about an unfinished job

No please don't do this, no one will ever do the todo. The code base I'm currently working on has more than 2000 todos.

Instead of this, create a ticket in Jira, Asana or whatever issue tracker you prefer. This way it can be easily taken in account when doing a sprint planning and even if no one opens the problematic file ever again, the issue will still be visible.
Adding the subjects will be really helpful.
I want to be angry at this, but I really can't.

From the business perspective, it doesn't make sense to subsidize your free users' business needs. The article mention a backslash, but I'm not sure how much should they care about complaints from customers they have chosen to fire.

From the users' point of view, this is their 6-months reminder that a) you should read the terms of what you are agreeing to, and b) if you are not paying for a service, you get what you pay for. A harsh lesson for sure, but a lesson more people should probably learn.
> Also, before upgrading the compilers on CI you need to fix any new warnings. But this isn’t a bad thing.

It's, in fact, downright stupid and means you're writing in a different programming language with each compiler upgrade and at the mercy of some poorly-considered third-party opinions.

Many compiler warnings are just stylistic. They can even contradict each other. Compiler A says, "suggest parentheses here". Oops, compiler B doesn't like it: "superfluous parentheses in line 42".

As a rule of thumb, warnings that aren't finding bugs aren't worth a damn.

The proper engineering approach is to evaluate newly available warnings and try them. Keep any that are uncovering real problems, or could prevent future ones; enable those and not any others.

Warnings are just tools. You pick the tools and control them, not the other way around.

Every code change carries risk!
