In my observations (and some bias; I am openly admitting it) which were sometimes reinforced by meeting real Japanese people, most Japanese are xenophobes, racists and very easily collectively agree not to speak about stuff they dislike / feel threatens some imaginary dominance / endanger their prejudices.

For all the glorification the country and its people get around the globe, and for all the romantic blemish their fatalistic and stoic philosophy receives, the Japanese I've encountered and observed remotely are pretty ordinary people with a lot of prejudice and hostility towards foreigners attached.

Not impressed. And this news comes as no surprise as well.

Guess people just love to glorify stuff that's very different from their own, with zero thought if that's actually a good thing?

Risk becomes a vehicle by which privilege reinforces itself – only the privileged can take risks and only risk is rewarded.

This is patently untrue. My parents emigrated to the States in 1997 (from the post-Communist Romania) with two briefcases, two kids, and $2,000 -- hardly privileged. After their Visas expired, we technically had illegal immigrant status (after a few thousand dollars in lawyer fees and many years, we paid a fine and were eventually naturalized in 2008). We won the Visa lottery, yes, but I know of immigrants that did not and still found a way to citizenship. My parents now own a $1M house in Southern California, one of my uncles (also emigrated to the US in the 90s) owns his own business. He doesn't even have a college degree. It wasn't easy getting here (we recently celebrated 20 years of America): my college-educated parents had to work menial jobs like washing Target toilets, cleaning houses, and flooring and construction.

The gain for myself and my sister, our cousins, and some day hopefully my kids -- is immeasurable. The risk, even moreso. I know of Romanians that swam the Danube (pre-1989) and were shot at and imprisoned. The risk of freedom was worth it. Everyone can take risks. Investing $10,000 and 6 months of your life in a startup is not ruin-inducing. And perpetrating this kind of argument is, imo, doing a disservice to people that are on the fence.

Obviously, I don't have the same kind of opportunities as a rich trust-fund kid from Manhattan. But I'll be damned if I don't try. I recently quit my cozy six-figure job in ad-tech to try and bring some of my ideas to fruition. Will I fail? The odds are stacked against me -- I've failed before and failing sucks. The purpose of life is not wallowing in self-pity, but rising above the adversity. I leave you with this quite by Nassim Taleb[1]:

Risk takers can be socially unpredictable people. Freedom is always associated with risk taking, whether it led to it or came from it. You take risks, you feel part of history. And risk takers take risks because it is in their nature to be wild animals.

"the NSA proposition to Qwest was nearly seven months before 9/11, according to Nacchio."

"In a bizarre twist, the judge in Nacchio's case, Edward Nottingham, was soon embroiled in scandal, accused of soliciting prostitutes and allegedly asking one to lie to investigators. He resigned and apologized, but wasn't prosecuted."

"Nacchio's conviction was overturned on appeal in a decision that found Judge Nottingham made key errors.

But the government got the conviction reinstated by a split judges' panel."

But if the researchers add random links between people from different ethnic groups, the level of interracial marriage changes dramatically. “Our model predicts nearly complete racial integration upon the emergence of online dating, even if the number of partners that individuals meet from newly formed ties is small,” say Ortega and Hergovich.

I did some research on this and didn't find anything that fit my needs. I need to generate licenses for software that's running in Docker containers. I finally decided to roll my own.

The whole thing is basically a database, simple front end, and a bit of code that generates a license key. The license is basically a signed/encoded string which my software can parse and validate. The user buys the license string, they feed it to my software as a config parameter and the software verifies the signature and validates it in various ways. Job done.

If there's any demand for something like this I'm willing to productize the whole thing.

Certainly. I have been in the position before where I was at the bottom of my own personal pit and was unable to begin exercising on my own (severely depressed and obese, not a great combination to begin an exercise program). It's not an easy thing to get started doing _anything_ when you're depressed, habits are hard to change. People shouldn't be expected to change these things (purely) on their own, as a lot is a function of environment/genetics/overall life situation, but...

I can recall clearly what it would have been like (for me personally at least) were I in a strongly depressive state: I'd read the comment warning me about exercise, then I'd be afraid to exercise at all.

By framing exercise as a risky behavior based on a few exceptional anecdotes, the poster does depressed readers a disservice. It's relatively established that depressed people are more risk averse in general[1][2], and exercise also has well established benefits in treating symptoms of depression (I shouldn't have to cite sources for this one). The benefits far outweigh the risks.

I had the same situation, and I ended up buying the 1 TB plan. I really wish they would have an intermediate tier between 10 GB and 1 TB. I would gladly pay for 100-200 GB. I use Dropbox to back up important documents but not everything I have on my machines, so I'm still using way less than the 1 TB right now.
Because browsers have evolved beyond applications to serve up static web pages, and convenient features like this are a selling point. Google has created an entire "OS" ecosystem built on a port of their web browser, and they've been pushing people to use it for years. I think I'll give Firefox a pass at adding some super neat and useful features from time to time.

Singapore was always ahead of other cities and is still driving innovation. Something I would love to see from some US cities claiming to be tech hubs ...

Back in 2004 I wrote my Masters thesis about a public transportation system based on text massaging which used classic bus routes but would only operate in case you ordered the bus. Kinda think of a pre-Uber app. My prototype used PHP, MySQL, JavaScript for the dispatch system. Pre existing SMS templates (specifically on Nokia phones) allowed the driver to communicate with the dispatcher. Every "bus stop" had a number (just like NYC's MTA is using barcodes today) and customers texted this number, pick up time and pax to a phone number. The text msg was automatically added to a queue to be validated by the dispatcher. The responsible bus driver was informed by the system via text msg as well and so on. My system was intended to replace an outdated, cumbersome system where every customer had to call the operator to place the order for the bus. After I graduated I found out that Singapore had already a very similar system to my prototype (but they used cabs to replace the busses).
My wife's former coworker tried to pitch me on her super-secret idea a few years ago, which was basically an AR/VR system.

I got them to stop asking me about it, but I don't think that either of them ever believed my assertion that I wasn't a technology magician.

> Deleting the God Mode folder fixes the problem, because that is the only filesystem object for which GetDisplayNameOf() returns a malformed structure.

I wouldn't call it "malformed" -- the OS simply returned a null pointer: "the field that is supposed to point to the buffer containing the resulting string is NULL." Which in C means "nothing there." And the Java native interface code didn't check for that (it could have returned an empty Java string in that case), but dereferenced the null pointer instead. "Fail fast" indeed.
ansible and containers do not mix well. Don't even bother. They take totally different approaches. Use ansible for what it is good for. Using it to automate all the things ... in container world... I mean why have docker-compose or k8s at all. Just launch containers willy nilly and instead of

- self healing
- automatic failover
- Docker centric tools

You can have a python s*it show where you use containers like processes. In fact they are processes that probably can't handle signals or pipes. Maybe use tini and that at least works, but it misses the point. Ansible and docker are fundamentally at odds.

When ansible was created it had the promise of a simple layer of abstraction over ssh. now It just does all the things because it jelly. Don't give into the h8

All I know is that C++ build times are painfully slow for large projects. Even if you spend a lot of time and effort on making them as fast as possible, they're still not good.

#include just results in a tremendous amount of code in each and every source file. Even looking at a 6 line program, we see that after the preprocessor runs, the compiler is given 18,162 lines to process.

$ cat > main.cpp <<EOF
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc -E main.cpp | wc -l
18162

That is still nearly instantaneous, but it only gets worse from there and it happens to every source file in the project. I just took at look at a 1,848 line source file I'm working with, and it expands out to 147,054 lines after preprocessing. The current state of things is awful and modules are by far the most important feature for the future of C++. We need module support in our build tools and we need them to be fast.

Should the TS be delayed to see if the Clang idea is better? I'm curious to know what they're doing, but that's a lot to ask for. The TS is effectively a beta, and pushing back its start means less time in beta before the C++20 standard is finalized. There's a lot of work that's ultimately going to be built on top of this so getting it right is vital, but the clock is ticking.
