Sounds like Airbus is getting parts of Bombardier for cheap and Bombardier is getting the clout to fight Boeing and the US's patently obvious, possibly illegal, trade protectionism.

And this should further endear Canada to the EU over the US, and probably make the Brits also happier about the EU (The British jobs were most at risk).

I am no expert but that's what it looks like to me. Nice move if so.

My favorite line: "“The task wasn’t to support Trump,” one of the factory’s employees told RBC. “We raised social issues and other problems that already existed in the US, and tried to shine as bright a light as possible on them.” The employee said that because Clinton was part of the current regime, she was also a target."

What makes you think this is a resolution ? I've followed this story closely and I think it's far from the end of the dispute.
Slashdot is kind of like Mel Gibson. It was cool when it first came out and now it's still around.

Many commenters here and author of OP talk about urls in browser address bar. However article has "API design" in title.
Thanks, looks interesting. One of the things I've always wondered about with this approach is, how do you then show the "duck type"s in a succinct and human readable way.

This is pretty succinct, but I'd have to say that it is not obvious what the syntax means:

val y : < get_x : int; set_x : int -> unit > = <obj>

Perhaps the example was poorly chosen, what is "unit"?
Good, you understood me. Well done.
Then you didn't read it very closely, the article devotes a decent amount of space to how to set up the system that ensures people can get care regardless of their ability to pay.

I meant in the context of sharing links, either on a board like this or in a text. But that does bring a up a good point of how many users know how to copy/paste?

Among all internet users, I would conservatively assume 30%+ do. Among people who have posted a link to social media or forums, I would assume %80+. But I'd be interested to see how off I am.
There are two really interesting ideas in Zig that I'd like to find in Go:

- The %% operator and the %return expression used to simplify error handling.

- The concept of compile-time parameters used to implement generic functions and generic data structures.
I totally agree with you. There are just too many articles and blog posts that read like "formal proofs and/or static types are end of all need for anything like tests be cause while the program is verified and/or compiled, it's correct".

As programmers we are always somewhere in the middle :)
Without endorsing this practice, as a practical matter they'd be idiots not to.

If your idea is that it should be shocking that a former felon becomes a successful and lawful member of society we are in agreement.

I think it’s improbably to expect felons to write legal briefs that the SCOTUS examines and it’s also improbable to expect felons to become law professors are a prestigious law school.

Lots of lawyers will work their entire lives and never have either of those two situations.

For tuna, the color reflects the fat content. Maguro/akami ("red flesh") is red & lean, and stays that way even if frozen. Chutoro is pink & fattier, while otoro is light pink & extremely fatty. (It was fed to cats in the olden das, before tastes changed and it became an expensive delicacy.) Brown tuna has oxidised and you should steer clear of it, but this is not a common sight these days.

Also, essentially all commercially sold tuna has been flash-frozen, because it's caught in the deep ocean. That famous tuna auction in Tsukiji? All frozen, every last one.

FWIW, I've had locally caught, non-frozen tuna a couple of times. It's good, but while the texture is different, it's just firmer, not necessarily better.
Your feedback is not constructive. At least give examples why it's stdlib is immature or why the string handling is braindead and what you think is missing. This way the community would know more what to work on.
It was totally legal for US residents to participate, as far as I know. I believe almost all the securities-law obligations resulting from the sale are on Tezos. (Not a lawyer.) The only obligation on buyers might be that they can't resell it without being guilty of selling an unregistered security themselves.
I don't think the decision to remove the public folder had anything to do with making money. I think it was getting very little use by new users and it complicated the product.

And these days you can use a Dropbox API app to get something just as good and in some ways better than the public folder. Check out https://www.site44.com/ It has no problem linking to free Dropbox accounts. (though it is a paid service...)
Some tuna actually is red, though. For example, yellow fin tuna. Caught one last month and when I got home my brother and I made sashimi... Meaning that we cut it into slices and ate it. It was so, so good. I still like it after it's been frozen, but it's no longer good for sashimi.
The same product was served under both domains at different points in its life.
If you're going to make claims like this in public I think you had better back them up.

My internship experience was what made CS click, rather than the curriculum itself. Agree that they're a critical ingredient. :)
It's precisely because I didn't skip the last four paragraphs that I wrote my comment.

Here's how the fourth last paragraph starts:

> The critical problem is that while people looked closely at the two components — handshake and encryption protocol — in isolation, apparently nobody looked closely at the two components as they were connected together.
The problem with this (and Inbox) is that material design just doesn't translate to a big web browser canvas with a mouse etc.

It just feels... bad.
> But the original problem was that people can't afford healthcare, either individually out of pocket or collectively as insurance premiums or taxes. If covering more people under government insurance doesn't reduce costs then it doesn't solve the problem -- people still won't be able to afford healthcare.

There is a wealth of data that shows that the problem with health costs is in fact solved by strong government involvement in health care in systems where people don't pay out of pocket at all ... ignoring that data is willful ignorance.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/health-costs-how-the-us-...

Proposing alternatives government involvement are interesting, but not very constructive if we can't even get to the point of agreement of how well real world health systems perform in other nations vs the US.

Things you need to know about garbage collection in Python
I think Silicon Valley is particularly egregious because there's an unspoken assumption that everyone is left-leaning. The only outliers are a smattering of libertarians and maybe a few conservatives who keep their mouths shut because they like having friends.

Working in NYC nobody ever mentions politics. I haven't even heard so much as an unkind word about Trump.
Some of the poke places in LA use fresh tuna that was flown in from Hawaii. I think even the Costco poke is fresh. For those not familiar with poke, its a raw tuna , soy sauce and seaweed dish. You can remove parasites by sight easily.

I’m just always trying to find somewhere that’s better. If I can make a better salary and get a better job, great. If I can make the same salary but get more equity, in a company that seems likely to be successful, great. (I’m doing that last one now.)

It’s not much of a strategy, just realize that loyalty is a mugs game and none of these places actually care about an individual employee, so neither should you care about them.

I don’t freelance because I know I would hate all the non-technical parts of the job, and I don’t have much of a network because people drive me crazy so it would be hard to get work in the door. The idea appeals to me though, in the sense of working a job for a while and then not working for a while.
This is not a good take. Both RSS and Delicious were immensely popular in 2004-5, and the sites that cloned Delicious (Digg and Reddit) went on to great success. There was a very active and interesting community around Delicious in the early days.

Yahoo ended up smothering Delicious because the people who oversaw it had no idea what it was for, just like they smothered Upcoming, Flickr and other acquisitions that could have grown into something remarkable.
> have never heard of RHEL

But surely you've heard of Red Hat itself? In the early 2000s, Red Hat Linux broke into a couple directions: "Fedora Linux" as the community version of the OS, and "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" as the supported, enterprise-level version of the OS (and CentOS as the community-supported version of RHEL).
this must be a sign that we are in another tech bubble.
The fact that they did it in the first place is enough for most people. An apology hardly covers the potential for damage. All in the name of some bundled shitware to make them a few extra bucks. Totally inexcusable, and I don't see why people jump in to defend them at all.
What? Boeing’s claim is that Canada illegally subsidized Bombardier which seems to be true. But yes it’s the US’s fault that happened
> And this should further endear Canada to the EU over the US,

That's a great thing. As canadians, we are learning that we can't count on the US to act in good faith so this is a nice thing. We should strive to be less and less dependant on our neighbor.

Flash-freezing is an entirely different beast than tossing something in your freezer. I wish we'd just embrace it culturally - the results are often much better than "fresh", and are far safer, longer-lasting, and more consistent.
A little off topic, but virtually all cigars imported into the US are frozen as well, usually by the distributors (there are a few companies who manage their own distribution who do not... like My Father / Tatuaje). This is to kill the tobacco beetle eggs that may be on the leaf. The exporters from Cuba also freeze their cigars before sale, but the cigars sold on the island itself (either name brands or custom rolls) are not. These beetles can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage very quickly.
I went back to Europe and live in Switzerland now. Much happier here than there.
I've been thinking about this more this year.

Earlier this year, I finished watching "Person of Interest" (maybe not ironically) on Netflix.

So far we've been applying ML/DL to problems like image recognition, which has produced quite useful products. But these things are still far away from Artificial General Intelligence.

And I've been studying AI / AGI research for decades as well. In the early years, there was an emphasis on formal systems, that could logically infer the sidewalk was wet because it rained last night. More recently, we've seen research like Hierarchical Temporal Memory which attempt to address how the human brain processes information.

Anyway... these approaches aren't the only ways forward.

When you think about it, one thing we might want for an AGI is really just a software system that can improve itself (gaining new abilities), with increasingly less and less human supervision.

I'm thinking of a giant codebase, not just a big library, but more on the order of the entirety of Python code in open-source projects. The entire ecosystem. And then adding methods for it to self-improve. For example, scanning through the codebase looking for bad style or other obvious bugs. And then automatically fixing them.

The next step would be to give it the ability to automatically process certain kinds of information. It would scan an input document (file), and try to figure out what it is (HTML, CSV, whatever), and then try to match that to the kind of output which is required. And then try to find transforms in its own codebase which can accomplish this for the sample input / output.

The next steps get more difficult where it is analyzing its own codebase not just for problems, but it understand the meaning. Maybe it can annotate it's own codebase with more meta-information. For example this function foobar() has a string argument, but it isn't just a string, it is supposed to be a street address.

And at some point, getting the system to write code to solve new problems.

I've looked at a bit of research in this particular direction, but didn't really find much.

Only tangentially related, but I could use some help. We have a nearly 10 year old newsletter service that was built long before I was hired. It's all self hosted and we're getting abysmal delivery rates now (~60%...). We're only sending about 5000 emails a week.

We want to offload, at the very least, the sending onto a third party service where our delivery rates won't be so bad. The trick here is that we send the newsletters on behalf of clients that we have built sites for since we launched our newsletter service and they currently send with a FROM and a REPLY-TO of the domain we are sending for. Obviously, this does not mesh well with current spam practices. Third party services usually require you to verify the domain, but the vast majority of our clients do not have access to anything related to their domain or DNS and it's not realistic to move to SES, MailChimp, SendGrid, etc for that reason.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to approach fixing this? I've already asked about sending out from client-name@ourdomain.com and having a reply-to of the client's email address, but was shot down for apparent contractual reasons.
Yeah guess i wouldn’t even be comfortable entering a partnership like this without a co-founder agreement for the protection of the interests of both parties (therefore removing unnecessary obstacles :)

Edit: which is, as far as i know, the best way to deal with it
Why should those companies get to have a monopoly on file hosting? I'd prefer to have a single system where I can put my files out there with a bit of money and have them kept by anyone who is able to host them. A system like that could offer more competitive prices, and by using such a system, I'd be encouraging a world where I or people like me could easily get paid for hosting when we find ourselves with extra capacity.
As a paying Dropbox subscriber for many years, all I see is Dropbox removing features (like public folders) or making existing features worse (current situation of search is insanely bad). I for one am looking at alternatives now.

I didn't mean it in the sense "he is inferior to SWEs", I mean it from the sense that Google is a tech company, and at tech companies, the interesting jobs where new product development happens generally goes to engineers, PMs, product and UI designers.

It would be no different than if I went to work at a Hospital, I'd end up in claims processing or administration probably, and someone could say "he's not a doctor or nurse or medically trained, so of course, he's pushing paper"

To some extent, it's up to you to make your job interesting and fulfilling. If this guy spent 2 years doing HR and it was a grind, then he knew all the pain points and probably how to improve the workflow. Why didn't he take the initiative, get some coworkers together, and try to design a better system rather than wear earplugs eating alone in the cafe?

Google expects and depends on people to take initiative. If my project is not interesting, either I find another team that has a more interesting project, or I invent a project for myself and shop it to cosigners. I'm not supposed to sit here stewing in unhappiness for years waiting for my manager to say "oh, I noticed you aren't being fulfilled. Here's a new project to fulfill you."

It's not that only SWEs matter. Most startups have a technical founder and a non-technical founder. Non-technical skills often matter more than technical ones.
The article is missing deliverability stats. Sure, you can reduce your bill significantly by switching to SES, but that means nothing if all of your emails are being sent to a user's spam box or promos folder. Mailchimp does a lot out of the box to ensure deliverability and good email placement, and that's part of the cost you're paying for.
* Reddit is a cesspit waiting to fail that encourages abuse as a platform. I am waiting for what replaces them as there is a lot of information people are looking to share without the torrent of garbage that comes with it currently.

* Slashdot faded because new buyers came in who didn't understand the product.

* RSS still exists and is going strong. It just does the job without the flash, the reason content producers don't like it is that you can't monetize it in the same way as email. I personally use TheOldReader for curating this.

* I'm going to add Sourceforge as a site that shot themselves in the face. It seems like it's newest owners have done a lot to try and repair the damage.

Raindrop looks fantastic, I'm glad you brought it up. I'm guessing we few are the kind of people keeping this type of service alive.

This seems not similar at all.
> I'm glad this thing is still working like new and I don't have huge urges to upgrade because I suddenly feel inferior, like some other tech companies try to pull...

I don't get this. Your feelings of inferiority are your own feelings, not the fault of a tech company's marketing agency or some other external agent.
I agree with you on all counts...and the only nitpicky thing i have with microsoft on this is that onedrive has no linux client. And in my family - while everyone else is on a PC - i have my linux laptop. but, yeah for a family who needs office (for docs, school, etc.) and basic storage, office 365 is hard to beat. (And, i should caveat that i am far from the type of person who would be considered a fan of anything that microsoft does.)
Errr, I don't get this reaction. If you were already a Dropbox customer, you haven't lost a single feature, right?
It still refers to a movement from simple to complex: server delivery to service-worker-based caching and offline-capable "delivery" strategies; lighting up an increasing number of "app-like" experience APIs as browsers and OSes offer them (from general "web platform" APIs that work across operating systems such as web platform notifications, to hooks into OS-specific APIs; an example there is PWAs on Windows can request access to a lot of the UWP APIs to support things like Live Tiles).

ETA here: The missing idea here being that when using these OS-specific components, you should do it in a progressive enhancement way such that they have fallbacks or offer alternative functionality when they don't exist. Try to avoid the old west days of "Works Best on This Particular Browser/OS Combo".

There is definitely a need to preserve the old meaning of "progressive enhancement", but that may be a need for a new term, as this one moves on. Particularly the more that it feels that JS has "won" and is the default much more than the exception. I used "artisanal" as a joke in the previous post, but it's also somewhat apt here as raw, barely filtered, HTML [1] feels increasingly like a fad for hipsters and old curmudgeons more than the way of the web. To support it as a movement you might have to market it in similar "return to the web's roots" marketing.

If you're interested in learning more, I'd strongly recommend "Venture Capital and the Finance of Innovation" by Andrew Metric and Ayako Yasuda.

I used this book in a VC finance class (taught by a student of the prof in this article, incidentally) and found it very readable and helpful for understanding option valuation. Then again, when I was interviewing, companies wouldn't tell me anything about share pricing or the associated covenants, so it was kind of a wash from an employee perspective.
I don't know what they call themselves but look at Mizzou, Berkley, and Evergreen.
I disagree. We don't have enough incremental improvements, because it's difficult to improve a language and migrate the existing code base at the same time. I'd be happy with a better C (for example get rid of header files and #include), a better Python (for example better parallelism without a GIL), a better Go (for example with a solution for generics and marginally less verbose error handling), a better JavaScript, etc. I'm mentioning "mainstream" languages on purpose.
