With charter, you skip the TSA. It can even make financial sense, of you're a group and were going to fly first class.

Also, a buddy who has a plane time share is handy.

Given where I live, I know a bunch of pilots. The time share plane was new to me. That's kinda need and not that expensive.
It's hard to see how it could ever be worth building - not just in terms of positive ROI (though of course that's a factor), but in terms of why you're doing it at all. If you want to build a city from scratch, why would you build this thing instead of just starting it in e.g. the plains of Nebraska or something?

Even in land-scarce Japan, if they wanted to start a city from scratch it would be easier by orders of magnitude to just clear-cut a forest somewhere first.

This thing is cool, but there's just no reason why it has to exist. There's plenty of land left on Earth to use first.
You can totally do this in C#, since it has lambdas, and you can use the extension method to add "map" to nullable references of arbitrary types. It also has ??.

The problem is that lambdas aren't free. For something as simple as a null check, the overhead of a lambda is excessive. Zero-cost lambdas are possible, but require a new type of lambda that cannot escape the enclosing scope, all reflected in the type system.
In real-life, outside of 10,000 word github issues, one should call those you are having problems with and talk about it. That is how you resolve these issues. You show empathy, you show understanding, you take more responsibility that you deserve because you have a strong ego, you focus on the future and how best to achieve joint success, you show some flexibility, you get a mutually beneficial resolution or an agreed plan of action that should lead to a better outcome. This is best done on a one-by-one basis. And people come to your side or at least understand you.

You need to not be accusatory, nor defensive.

This is the age old way of dealing with issues in a productive fashion. Read getting to "Getting to yes" or try getting married.

What I read in this github issue is just immature, very ineffective problem solving from I guess someone who doesn't know better.
I use Elastic Beanstalk for my projects, and I really like it because makes deploying code much simpler and easier than managing my own EC2 instances. This is especially handy for rapid prototyping, when you want to get something out quickly in order to test a product idea. When I want to deploy a new version of my code, I just run a script to compress the app into a zip file, and then give that to Beanstalk to deploy. I use Node.js instead of Django, but I expect that the workflow is the same.

You choose to run your Beanstalk app in one of these modes:
- route all traffic to a single instance without a load balancer (the cheap option)
- auto-scale instances behind an Elastic Load Balancer (the scalable option)

One of the things I like about Beanstalk is that switching between these two modes is quick and easy. So, you can initially go with the cheap option to save money and then switch to the auto-scaling mode once you need it.

If you're developing APIs, I also recommend considering Lambda. I plan to use Lambda + API Gateway for my next project, since you only pay for the usage of when your lambda functions are executed (as opposed to paying for your EC2 instances to be up all the time, even when they're not used), and they can scale more quickly than spinning up new EC2 instances.
It's happening, slowly. CSS Typed OM should be shipping soonish (it essentially provides a new object-model around CSS which doesn't just treat everything as opaque strings like CSSOM does), the other parts are still fairly early-stage work.
You could definitely reflect ex. infrared without affecting photosynthesis. I think your response is a little quick to brush off these ideas. There are many possible venues for geoengineering that could have fantastic benefits, even beyond affecting climate change. Brushing them off as ideas akin to "playing god" is both unprincipled and potentially harmful to both mankind and the planet.
Fun fact: Russia has never once invaded Central Europe. Central / West European countries have invaded Russia a few times.
Russia does not need space or natural resources and it would be difficult to conquer its way to the soft factors it is missing.

Given the strength of most European countries and their lack of natural resources, the chance of a large war being a net positive for Russia is small. Of course, sometimes there are internal reasons to start a war. Falklands and some US wars and, I think, most of Russia's small wars after the cold war come to mind.
Generally speaking, you should get the qualifications you need for the job you want. If you want to be a software developer or program manager, a B.Sc. is sufficient and a PhD is overkill and a waste of time. If you want to be an academic or a scientist in industry, a PhD is essentially required.
Right, I could have phrased it differently: another brand/community/project/environment/solution, like Chakra, will take the helm.

The greater point I was making is that this fork seems to be a baby-and-bathwater reaction; disagreeing with one member's behavior does not make the entire community toxic.
Abstract classes can have state, default interfaces can only have behavior. So state is still single-inheritance, while behavior is effectively multiple-inheritance now.
I know that was the cause. I'm lamenting that the rail system has been unable to deploy PTC because of the cost, which, as a nonprofessional, seems astronomical for what should be a simple system.

Remember, I was initially referring to rail's approach to safety generally, not just in the context of automation.

Yeah, the summary mislead me.
Let me rephrase, and maybe you'll agree.

If one million people in a city don't get murdered, and one does get murdered, whose fate will be reported as news?

The murdered one of course. And the reporting will be truthful. But that doesn't mean most people get murdered.
I don't know about messaging, but paying per comment would be a really interesting idea. There are a lot of people out there who are very aggressive about posting in tabloid and newspaper comment sections. The comments are usually so argumentative, angry, and spiteful that I have to think that just having the comment itself appear on the page is worth quite a lot to those people.
Hope you understand that some of use need non destructive editing...

Yeah the only "use case" I find is a post-apocalyptic scenario in which we're trapped in much smaller areas for our cities. So practically each building becomes a self-sustaining city.

But in that scenario I doubt we would be able to pull off such project.

Seems like good sci-fi material though.
Those photos are so fake it isn't even funny. Check out that array of plugs at the back and then where the cables ought to be in the picture.

It's funny because in Brazilian portuguese, people commonly use terra to refer to dirt.
there's also a crazy amount of practical considerations if it were actually built.

Imagine all the logistics to send food around. The cabin fever from living on floor 500 and basically never touching the ground.

It would be better just to build smaller buildings.
The problem with that approach is that if you have it there, people will forget to use it, and still end up with tons of nullable references that really should be non-nullable. In order to be effective at catching bugs, non-nullability has to be opt-out rather than opt-in.

Yes, this sucks for existing code. I suspect that we'll get some kind of file-level switch, so that you can port things one class at a time - there's no reason why that switch has to have the same value for all files in the project.
But YOU wouldn’t pay to participate in a place where they can do that :)

these sorts of "mega-cities" are often a staple in futuristic dystopian scifi, and they've always struck me as completely impractical. There are circumstances where bigger is better, where you get increased efficiency due to scale, but mega-city-tower-dome-things don't really provide many benefits, while they come with a lot of complication.

> Some estimate that in 1995 the cost of constructing the X-Seed 4000 may be ... between $479 billion and $1.4 trillion US 2017 dollars.

So instead of invading Afghanistan the money could have been spent building two giant replacement towers :)

If designed to withstand earthquakes and tsunamis I'm guessing it would be hard to bring them down.

(I know it's not the same... but nice to know that we could find the money to build such a thing)
It requires runtime (VM) support. That's always a much higher bar to clear than pure language features.
Low level graphics programming is tough, specialist work. Imagine a relatively simple stateful API layer over the top of this stuff, widely adopted and with an open spec. We could call it the Open Graphics Library, or OpenGL for short.

In VS 2017, if you use a method that's an extension method, and don't have the namespace imported, it'll show the auto-correction bulb with an offer to import it.

Better yet, if it's from a NuGet package, it'll offer to install one (or several, if there are multiple candidates).

I'm going to make you define "good". Icarus, at one point, handled way more of the standard than even Cadence did and had far fewer bugs.

And I can tell you that at least one graphics chip used to run it's validation suite through Icarus.

As described at http://engineering.gusto.com/how-ach-works-a-developer-persp... , ACH has called itself a 'next-day' settlement system yet funds transferred on a Thursday may not be available until the next Wednesday (6 days later) since they leave several days of buffer in case of returns and do not count weekends or holidays. And that's only if the transfer is done early in the day. If it's the evening, it could take 7 days.

Unless they changed something else, changing from so-called 'next-day' to 'same-day' would only reduce that by 1 day from 6 or 7 days to 5 or 6 days, which isn't really that significant and certainly isn't what people think of when they see 'same-day'.

It says "for transactions that can be initiated before 2:45 PM ET on business days (not on weekends or holidays)" so it's still broken with several days of delay, but there is a line that says "RDFIs will be mandated to make funds available from same day ACH credits (such as payroll Direct Deposits) to their depositors by 5:00 PM at the RDFI's local time." Does that require them to drop the return buffer? That could at least cut it down to only 2 or 3 days delay.

If it does cut the delay in half, that's a mixed blessing since it reduces the pressure to develop a better protocol or even change ACH implementations to reduce the delay to a few minutes. It's just a series of 3 requests and 3 responses - even with processing, that shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

And if they added an extension for the receiving institution to confirm success in the return file (or another file), everyone involved would be better off (except the bankers making interest while the money sits in limbo, I guess).
> The error may just be passing through, coming from my own code or from a different library altogether.

Then you will have a stack trace to work with. Again, this discussion would be more meaningful if you provided some real world examples. Hypothetical situations that will never happen in the real world are kind of pointless. You don't have to invent reasons to justify not using Go, if that is your intent. Frankly, I couldn't care less what tools you use, and it seems like it is justifiably not the right tool for your problems to begin with.

> Vendoring is not primarily about forking and then changing the code. The main purpose of vendoring is freezing dependencies.

But you are quite literally maintaining a fork. In 99% of the cases there will be no need to modify the code, be it in vendor or in another repository. Freezing the dependency has always been the primary goal of both approaches. The only difference vendor introduced is that the code resides under the vendor tree of each individual application, instead of in a global namespace that allows you to share your pinned version with all of your applications. That's it.
It's not named after the sky. It's named after the God of the Sky, which doesn't bother me any more than other planetary bodies being named after deities of couriers, beauty, war, thunder, agriculture, ocean, the underworld, and so on.

The main reasons to rename Uranus is 1) consistency and 2) the puns. Either name it Caelus to be consistent with the naming convention used for the other planets or name it Ouranos to be closer to its Greek spelling and pronunciation.

I prefer (1) because the current situation is similar to having a codebase where all class names are PascalCase but there's this one class name in Upper_Snake_Case.

If I have an intellectual hero, it was Ericsson's post-doc advisor Herb Simon. In "Peak", Ericsson talks about work they did together on the mental representations used by expert chess players. I recently reread some of a lecture Simon gave in 1982 ("Reason In Human Affairs") and it is pretty much golden. Simon is the person responsible for the idea of bounded rationality, but in that talk he also captured ideas about information overload/"quality of information"/"media ecology" that were talked about later by Neil Postman and Nassim Taleb and are especially relevant today although they haven't quite sunk into our culture yet:

> many noreply addresses are transactional emails

That is correct; for transactional e-mails I use a throwaway e-mail alias system (operated via a web front end). Messages targetting these e-mail aliases bypass all these rules.
The point is that equality of identity is objectively more fundamental than equality by any other metric. You can easily observe this by noting that any two objects which are equal in identity are necessarily equal in all other possible ways.

There is no argument to be made that "comparison by value is just as fundamental a concept as comparison by identity", or that this is just a matter of opinion.

The fact that it is possible to compare equal by value without comparing equal by identity does not contradict that it is impossible to compare equal by identity without also comparing equal by value, however you define "equal by value".

> Your point regarding that "there is no way to compare equal by identity without also comparing equal by value" is true but doesn't really say much. (I'm not sure if it isn't a tautology?)

It's not a tautology; it is one of three requirements defining an equivalence relation. (Equivalence relations are by definition reflexive, which is to say x is equivalent to x for all x.)
Even better: get into the PhD program and then drop out. You have all the signalling of being selected in a fancy PhD, but it also shows that you're practical and interested in work and industry.

There might be one reason: all the land on Earth is owned by a nation or protected by treaty.

Perhaps a city in international waters could be built without anyone's permission, and outside any nation's jurisdiction.

No you can't. Most U.S. banks require a 1-2 day hold on mobile deposits still. Some banks, like USAA, credit you immediately, but most major banks and local CUs don't.

I think Go does good work at concurrency support, so using it can save me a lot time dealing with concurrency.

And in my opinion Go is simple to learn, which can make others contributing it more easily. For example, this is only my second Go project, and most of Goby contributors haven't written any Go code before (of course I spent some time guiding them).

The last reason is that I think Go has a relatively big community and ecosystem. It'll be more easy for me to finding resources.

Only, we won't be going back to the stone age. Ever. Even if the tech is wiped out.

We know all this stuff is possible and it is unlikely that everyone that knows something will die, just as it is unlikely that all print resources will be taken away.

Cars and cell phone towers will still likely exist. Televisions, radios, computers. The remains of power plants will stand.

We'll continue to wash our hands after shitting because we won't lose germ theory.

Sorry, but there is no going back to the stone age. At worst, the tech of today becomes the goal of humanity after our numbers rebuild.
If you were to do that, I still don't think it would end up looking anything like the X-Seed. You'd probably build "out, not up" and end up with something like the Raft from Snow Crash.

Sure, caring only about one or the other is absurd. In real life, both are needed, but there is a question about the order of priorities.

Do you care about inclusivity to the extent that it is foreseeable, over the life of the project, to help build up the strongest possible team that works together civilly and productively and creates the best code? Or do you care about inclusivity as a fundamental value in your moral system, and your goal is effecting social change - creating some quality code as a side effect is just a cherry on top?

Implementation issues around Mecury aside, a "fee-based" Reddit is a worthy experiment. Justin Kan had a similar idea with his Whale App. Get experts to answer serious questions regarding entrepreneurship and be compensated for their time. The market for this exists.

I also like the idea of reputation managed via distributed ledger. Hard coding trust is a raison d'etre for smart contracts to exist and although a personal "integrity score" acting akin to your "credit score" may sound dystopian it also is an interesting experiment.

Disagree. Unlike their IPv4 setup, where the IP rarely changes, the IPv6 address constantly changes for no apparently reason. This makes it hard to whitelist IPs or to set up an internal IPv6 network.

I ended up getting an IPv6 /48 from Hurricane because of the hassles. That works great (other than having to force Netflix to IPv4 because of their dumb IP block).

If Comcast offered static IPv6 (NOT via business class), and more than a /60 (/58 at least), that would make it "work great".

For now, it doesn't.
