I think if you put some effort to help people, you will get help regardless of your skills by many of them. But that help will not be that useful in the long run if you don't have the skills to take advantage of it.

Stupid example: if you have helped me in the past, and then ask me for a referral at my company, I will certainly do it regardless of your skills and I will get you an interview. But then it is up to you to pass the interview. Networking opens up opportunities. It doesn't make you successful.
If you randomly meet me at a conference and ask for referral, I won't do it.

And that's really the kind of networking 95% of people are looking for. It is not meet the #1 investor in the world or similar.

As near ad I can tell, the whole damned Internet is pretty much hackish workarounds. It's not amazing when something breaks, it's amazing that it works at all. From HTML being used for more than markup, to NAT routing, to a complete disregard for standards...

It's kinda impressive, actually.
> Neither Rust nor Python enforce high-level data structure integrity (e.g. transactionally pulling data off one queue and stuffing in another).

Rust absolutely does. For instance, if you unwind while holding a lock, the lock gets poisoned, preventing further access to the locked data. If you're not holding the lock, no safe Rust code can possibly corrupt it, unwinding or no unwinding. So you definitely can put a lock around your two queues, operate them from multiple threads running safe (or correct unsafe) code, and be robust to a panic in one of those threads.

I'm less familiar with Python's concurrent structures, but as I keep saying, this is why you leave the stuff that touches the data structure outside of your try/except - Python does guarantee that a thread that doesn't have explicit access to a shared object can't mess with the shared object by mistake.

This project is the "killer app" we have been waiting for using crypto blockchain techology. Yields massive user value as alternative to Paypal - implemented on proven Ethereum technology - fast and scalable. The value proposal will be irresistable to merchants frustrated with Paypal charge-backs, high fees, and dud service. Read the WhitePaper - this is going to be BIG. Steve1943

> Apparently some people think that we won't be able to engage in politics without political violence between competing groups at protests.

Straw man argument. Nobody said this above.

Suppressing groups (nazi and antfia) for violence of its members is the problem.
It seems like you'd encounter so many challenges in taking this path, although I think it's awesome that people are seriously looking into this.

One point that they article doesn't mention is that mobile devices don't have ECC RAM. I'm not very familiarized with the server space, but I thought that was pretty much a standard requirement? e.g. If you're providing IaaS, isn't the risk of falling prey to rowhammer attacks a serious concern?

What I'd love to see is something similar but for home users. Instead of continuing to push stuff into third-party services, you can hook up a mix of devices to run services and applications from home. Bring back the distributed internet dream! Most home services don't need tons of power or high availability. The biggest risk is probably with handling data backups, which you can easily solve by encrypting assets and pushing em up to some cloud provider.
Whoa. Well first congrats, that is a triumphant feat for a grad student.

I am truly surprised your faculty search wasnt more fruitful, given there is hardly much more you could have done other than maybe secure a K99 grant.

Why do you suspect your cv was not top-tier competetive? I ask because yes, I am in Academia and from my experience (including being on faculty search committees) suggests you would have at least been invited to job talks.
Gut microbes interact with and effect the lymph system.
> You claimed that

Which is true. Their stance on maintaining your own forks is pervasive through all the tooling and their explanations of how the tools are designed to be used. There has been emphasis that if you want the tools to work well, you need to fork and maintain your dependencies.

You are, of course, free to do whatever you want. You can even feely let a random third-party maintain your dependencies, and hope they don't break anything, if you so wish. Many do exactly that. Despite what some people like to claim, the Go authors are not benevolent dictators that completely rule how you must develop software. They've simply published tools that worked for them, and granted a license that allows you to use and modify them in any way you see fit.

> And you said that in response to a need for stack traces and specific error types.

Technically the discussion was about how stack traces aid in debugging. It is a fair point. They most certainly do. And if you are interested in the stack within a third-party library, that suggests that you intend to debug said library.

If you are debugging a third-party package, you have already decided to fork it by virtue of what debugging requires. Adding stack traces to ease debugging of the package, if you so desire, is not a great undertaking on what is already a fork you have decided to maintain. You, of course, can submit your changes to the upstream maintainer, but in the meantime you are still holding on to a fork that you have decided to maintain. There is no guarantee that anyone else will want your changes. There is really no escaping that fact. It is not insane. It is simply pragmatic.

If you are only ever going to maintain your own code, the stack trace up to your call out to the buggy third-party package will still be available, if you choose to provide it, allowing you to work around or otherwise deal with the buggy package in your code.
Uber-Lyft driver union law can move forward after federal judge tosses lawsuit
Thank you, first thing we did before the launch!
I imagine "most places" refers to most places on land, which is less than 20% of the range of where plants grow. Ocean-based plantlife is the workhorse on this planet, and I would argue that the lion's share is absolutely constrained by available sunlight.

Further, there's a substantial difference between "respiration" and absorption of sunlight. Pineapple plants, for instance, only "breathe" at night.
What's more important, we can teach people much more effectively than machines by communicating concepts. Imagine the driving performance of a hypothetical person who is not capable of speech, so the only way to train them is having them drive in a simulator, and feed them candy when they get it right, while administering electric shocks for every driving error.

The idea of healing small ruptures in the intestines by lining them with fats and collagen to isolate them from inflammatory stool components, and then preserving that lining by eating soft foods seems highly practical to me.

And on a scientific scale, I give your assessment a zero. You have simply wielded the word "science" with contempt prior to any observation. IOW you're employing pseudoscience to make your point, then referencing a blog post which cherry picks assertions from a licensed scientist, cites them out of context, relies on analogy, and you present this as "Science". You have in essence conflated science with rhetoric, especially given the well-documented biases of the Skeptics, the organization behind scienceblogs.

Well then let me bite on the question of the problem with such high payouts.

"The next question is whether there’s anything wrong with this idea, and if so, what. It makes me uncomfortable, but that’s not the appropriate measure. As long as the journals themselves keep up their editorial standards, the main effect would seem to be that their editorial staffs must get an awful lot of China-derived manuscripts whose authors are hoping to get lucky."

Well, I'd offer that this analysis ignores how science has historically worked.

Essentially, science has involved something like a "club" of individuals who can be trusted to make a sincere effort to find the true. Certainly, the use of exact instruments and the theoretical reproducibility of experiments were important but also dealing with individuals are reliable, systematic and trustworthy was an important thing.

Which is to say that science journals aren't designed to filter out articles which are wholly fraudulent, a tissue of lies cleverly created to mimic an actual scientific breakthrough. With a clever enough person, naturally, there is no way to see fraud from the article, one would have to lab at the laboratory, attempt to reproduce the experiment and so-forth (and reproducibility was the key historically, most experiments weren't actually reproduced and no journal is going to maintain a lab to reproduce submitted articles - except perhaps in CS where a program might submittable).

And there you have it. The lab coated scientist is a movie character but be scientist, as least once, was more than to engage in some activities. It was to be part of the "broad march of progress" where the lesser-scientist still helped move things forward by small, honest iterations of basic research (and this "club" arguably was disproportionately and unfairly white, male and first-world but every process has its weaknesses).

A move which makes the pursuit of science a purely adversarial affair, by consigning poor performs to absolute poverty and giving fairly vast rewards to good performs is going to break the club everywhere.

And the implications of the end of science as an idealist pursuit vary from field to field. Fraud in CS or math might be impossible or might be rendered impossible with suitable measures. But in social sciences or other fields, things could get nasty indeed.
The political question is whether they can attract via their politics the people who make the cold hard code.

Code hard code matters far more than politics to nodeJS consumers, but nodeJS producers may be influenced by politics.

You want to be the side that attracts the cold hard coders similarly to the way communists defected to the west during the cold war.

Let's say you apply for a faculty position at a good public university. In physics, it would not be uncommon for there to be around 200 applicants. Imagine that only say 50 of them are great...Teaching positions are also competitive. That's one level. Now, the US is in an enviable position of being able to skim top people from around the world who come here to study--so we end up with a huge competition for a small pool of positions. The notion being that all other things being equal, having a large candidate pool is more likely to result in stronger candidates. That's what we risk giving up by limiting immigration--especially after we (I am from the US) train people here to do research.
It varies. Most importantly the "good countries" have 5-6 weeks plus all sick days, bank holidays etc.

That is, you get at least 5W in summer (typically).

The uk for exemple I think has 28days pto as a minimum, but as bank holidays count against those 28, it's hard to get a long holiday.

Do you think that naming things the "Tunguska event" or the "Chelyabinsk meteor" unduly favor Russian sites? It's an accurate descriptor of where it happened.

Simply Static itself takes about a minute, but it's actually a decent amount longer because we have to simulate a browser and run retry logic to handle failures. All in all, with post-processing included, the static blog generation is the single longest part of our deployment process.

Ultimately it isn't a huge deal for us though, since it runs concurrently with other build/deployment steps that in total (sequentially) take a similar amount of time.

Hey want to provide some quick clarification on your point.

First, you are dramatically, 110% right that pop psychology books plunder really valuable research such as this for ultimately banal insights that they manage to hide in a 300 page book that could be 10 pages.

K. Anders Ericsson, the absolute giant in the field of expertise research, is quite dismissive of Malcolm Gladwell and upset at his mis-interpretations of his work. Go look at his book, "Peak", which goes into depth on this (and funny enough looks like every other stupid pop psychology book, although it is not).

Finally, if you want to explore the best research we have from the present through the last 40 years, highly recommend you check out "The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise". It's 40 chapters written by nothing but PhDs.

They compare what expertise means across History, Firefighting, Surgery, Ballet, even Truck Driving and Software Design.

We decided against 'no-reply' emails when we started our business 6 years ago and it's been a great way to get our customers to engage with us.

Every email we send out has a blurb like this:

"Please let us know if you have any questions. You may reply to this email or reach us at support@..."

Yes, we get some bounces and vacation/out of office auto-replies but the benefits far outweigh having to delete a few auto-replies that got through the filters.
I hope I don't seem critical because that is not my intent. It seems like this is about misusing no-reply@ not that no-reply@ is inherently bad. Github completing a merge of a branch onto master seems like a fine use case for no-reply@. Using no-reply@ to tell someone they are overdue on their bill is not. Or are you saying there is literally never a reason for a no-reply@ address?

Additionally, if a service is over sending, there are lots of unsubscribe laws and rules to address that to your own personal preference.
I trust the code as long as it's behaving correctly, when it encounters a bug I no longer trust it and I shut it down before it can do further harm. A modular HTTP server should do the same.

The OS/process analogy doesn't hold here. The process has completely isolated state from the kernel.

I read the Big Book, and went to a couple of meetings. As a logical but also religious person, what they said made no sense.

First, just "give yourself over to God" means nothing. Sobriety takes work. One falls into a bad pattern, and you need conscious effort to break that pattern. I found the SMART program, which uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That worked for me and made sense for my brain.

Also, my religion (Eastern Orthodox Christianity) teaches that God will throw a life raft, but you gotta grab it, hold on, and swim to shore yourself. Again, the same work ethic, not just "turning yourself over".

I really find AA makes it difficult to people to get sober. I'm sure it does work for some, but I believe it may take longer for them.

As I understand, the question wasn't the veracity of the claims - I'm not sure those were contested. The question was whether they warranted his removal, and that comes down to how much you care about the Code of Conduct and believe team members are responsible for upholding its legitimacy, even if they disagree privately or internally.

> Isn't the point that messages matter, and being able to exchange them is powerful?

No, the point is that people matter, and being able to understand them is crucial. If ideas are suppressed (rather than merely problematic expressions) people become dishonest and you can't criticize their real beliefs because you don't know what they are. For example another person noted that neo-Nazi organizations survive in Germany by simply pretending to be something else. That's not success by any reasonable metric.

>A dose of rationality in the free speech debate would be appreciated.

If there's one thing that's truly ridiculous it's that fascistic positions like yours are considered "rational".
No, it obviously doesn't, unless of course you think the US manages to lead the world by acting against its own interests.

In addition, and as far as agitprop goes, this particular argument begs the question: if this is the case, why are we doing it in the first place?

This kind of juvenile ideology, claiming some pretended affront to some national interest to justify some weakly supported exceptionalism and eventually supremacism, is old as the world. As I don't want to invoke Godwin so early in the afternoon, I'll just mention this is also quite a popular theme amongst wife beaters.

A significant segment of the US population is following a well known path for all of those acquantied with early 20th century European history. It's only that the US is still catching up with all that, being such a young nation, and not having been vaccinated against fascism like pretty much most of the old world. It's gonna get rough I'm afraid.
The article actually covers this. Sounds like you missed the point.
