You need to read history to understand the situation. But not the history of the last 100 years, but of the last 1000. Catalonia was never independent, it was part of the Kingdom of Aragon. The kingdom of Aragon and the castle kingdom allied in a dynastic way and created what is known today as Spain

That's (very) interesting and useful information, on a certain intellectual level.

But you know, sending legions of paid goons (clad head-to-toe in black, comic-book style, no less) to randomly beat people in the streets (and in stairways, hallways... wherever they felt like it, apparently) has a way of nor only more or less completely delegitimizing your position, within the EU and on the international stage -- but in getting those affected put aside their differences, and take a stand to protect themselves, once and for all, against further abuses.

Which, as a directly result of the national government's actions, is apparently what is now happening. And the fact that you aren't even mentioning the recent violence in your 8-point summary goes a long way to explain what's increasingly driving so many people to the the pro-independence side in the first place.

And BTW on the history front, there was also this guy named Francisco Franco, and certain extremely unpleasant events in the 20th century you're also very conspicuously not mentioning. And all the bodies being dug up and forensically analyzed, in all those unmarked graves, even today.

But let's not go there.
It's beneficial for the rest of the US to find solutions that make high density cities successful. Such locations tend to be both your cultural and economic centers, in particular due to the network effects of putting so many people in close proximity to each other. (The Internet helps but hasn't proven to be a substitute quite yet.)

Additionally, dense urban areas tend to have the smallest environmental impact per capita (lower carbon footprint in particular), and help prevent the problem of urban sprawl invading rural areas. Nobody wants to live in a suburb that covers the whole country.

I'm pretty fustrated reading comments like these because there are use-cases where these tools are pretty much the same and use-cases where these tools are wildly different and you guys are going back and forth arguing semantics that are totally meaningless without the context or use case.
Adding swap really is critical. Machines running out of swap was causing my MBP to crash ~once a day, enough that I ran linux on it for a while (it was more stable for whatever reason) until we figured out what the issue was.
> Yes, you can work around the limitations of a static type system, either by finding another solution (lenses) or by making functions more specific (assume all keys are strings), but that doesn't mean the limitations disappear. It just means you're working around them.

I'm less concerned about the theoretical limitations of types that you seem to be talking about and more interested in looking at concrete real-world applications where you think you need dynamic types and seeing exactly what we can do to address them with a type system. I know there exist things that are difficult or maybe impossible to define types for (the Y combinator for instance, or possibly this assoc-in). My argument is that you don't need this power. I don't care whether difficult to type things exist, I care about whether real-world problems require them. I have yet to encounter one that I felt requires the same amount of dynamic typing power that you seem to be arguing for.

See this thread for some concrete examples:

There is a very similar dynamic in U.S. politics between extremists on the right and the left, both of whom need each other in order to remain relevant. The big difference is that in the U.S. leftist extremists have been all but eliminated, so rightist extremists need to invent all kinds of boogymen to replace them. Gays and Muslims and their supporters are currently being cast in this role.

This has been my experience interviewing past couple of months . I have over a decade of fulltime experience. I still had to do tons of these whiteboard/algorithm interviews. And not its not just clueless companies doing them, everyone from google to local software consulting show down the street doing this.
Elixir should absolutely be an abrupt change from the procedural paradigm, and much closer conceptually to Clojure than Ruby.

In Clojure you can still stick something in an atom or volatile and easily update it in place... doing that is a lot more involved in Elixir.

If he is smart enough to code, spend an hour with him walking through each folder of the source code and then draw a diagram of your stack and also walk him through it. He can use the drawing to walk your clients through so it is prettier than the code. So, you have to go to "sales side" and put yourself in his position and then help him there (maybe even pretend to be a client by role-playing) so you can see what he is trying to do. I'm assuming showing code is not the end goal but something else.
Paris is twice as dense as SF, and denser than any other US city except New York. Increasing density isn't necessarily a goal, but it's a sign of a healthy city - it means people want to live there so much that they're willing to pack together closer in order to be there, and it helps drive the cultural wealth (food, culture, social) that marks the most prominent cities such as NY, Paris, London, Hong Kong, etc.
Considering that India is still industrializing, I'd argue 1 century later is massively better than 4 century later.

OK, but Montenegro is a small, relatively poor country in the former Soviet bloc. It's a bit more of a lift to create essentially every protest movement in the United States of the past decade. And accusing every protest movement of being unwitting dupes of the Russians also has the effect of delegitimizing all of them.
The NYT is so pro-establishment it is probably the last site on Earth that would have its domain taken away from them.
Interviews have more to do with signaling than actual ability to do the job, in all the dimensions that are necessary.

Doing well on CS puzzles is and probably still be required for a long time to come. More of a hazing ritual. What I think should be allowed is for the interviewee to pose the same kind of ridiculous question to the interviewer, if the interviewer fails, the candidate takes their job.

>miss the true point:
This "conflict" is the fight between nationalist movements (Spanish and Catalan) which re-enforce each other in every turn for the worse of the majority and of the European Union.

To me, it seems your characterization of "true point" adds layers of abstractions such as "nationalists" and "right-wing movements". Sure, you're writing text that can be considered "correct" but it actually doesn't help people understand it better.

Would it be clearer for outsiders to look at it as a mostly economic independence? For example ... to use a (tortured) analogy, imagine that California wants to secede from the USA because citizens (especially the wealthy ones in Silicon Valley) feel too much of California tax dollars prop up poorer non-performing states like Mississippi and Alabama. Also, the corrupt USA federal government is spending too much $$ on unneeded military expenses like tanks and bailing out Wall Street. Therefore, California feels its unfair and wants independence to run their own affairs. To parallel a similar confusion of the "true point"... if we simply describe the independence movement as "State Secessionists fighting the Feds", it adds abstract labels to the opposing sides but doesn't really explain the situation.

Is there a more primary undercurrent to the Catalonia independence movement than the economic analogy above?

The public key is encoded in the onion address, so the client can verify the server you connect to has the matching private key. This is part of the tor protocol, so happens always when talking to onion services.
In another thread I talk about splitting deciding from doing and I find that strikes a very easy balance for database heavy code. Unit tests for the logic and just concede the data transport to higher level tests. Preferably with a local database full of test fixtures.
Is this conversation real? I don't know what's real anymore!
The Brisbane baylands area is a full square mile, which is contiguous with parts of San Francisco and is separated by a 5-lane highway from the current residential part of Brisbane.

I live in a mixed SFH/midrise apartment neighborhood in Oakland, and our population density is 24,000 per square mile.

So putting 24k people in that part of Brisbane wouldn't even look particularly built up.

The Nob Hill, Russian Hill and Telegraph Hill areas (beautiful, treasured, highly desired places) in San Francisco all vary from 30k to 60k per square mile.

Putting 45k people on Brisbane baylands would be awesome.

What's really happening is that Brisbane loves the sweet tax revenues from all the businesses they host, but don't want the (expensive) responsibility to house all those people that work in town.

How Floyd Mayweather Helped Two Young Guys from Miami Get Rich

Good point. So what if homes have to have a single name/id attached to them, and a single identity can only claim one homestead exemption statewide (and ideally states would share data) and you have to file state income taxes to get them. No homestead exemption for company held houses, no second exemptions if you're a dependent or you file married/jointly. Still not sure how one could handle the case where someone lives in a state but pays no tax, since you can do that for nearly free in a state you don't live in. Maybe it could take age into account.
They only have that right if we believe that it's ok for some people to shrug off the fact that they're contributing several times the amount of carbon into the atmosphere than they would otherwise.
It’s not that China’s economic growth is bad for the west (I think that’s good on its own terms); it’s that tyranny is bad for us all. Helping to entrench it is very short-sighted. There has never been a modern AI-assisted tyranny before, for one thing, and we don’t know how stable that might become. It’s reckless to expect it to just fall apart like the Soviet Union, especially since the rulers consciously learned from that history.
I didn't see in the article anything talking explicitly about latency reduction. I know SSDs have much lower latency than HDDs; could you expand / provide stats on how 3D Xpoint's latency compares to SSD?

No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that to be taken seriously they have to be serious, and they are serious enough that it doesn't make sense to talk about them like they're InfoWars.
>Served by rail. If you see a bus, they blew it.

And if you see streetcars, they blew it worse. Streetcars combine the traffic creation of buses with the inflexibility of a rail line. As an added bonus they make biking extra treacherous.

If you have the budget to build a real buried or elevated rail line, go for it. Otherwise stick with BRT until you do.
Drop-create scripts! One of my first epiphanies in the testing world.
So, this basically has two parts as far as I can tell:

This ignores the benefits that a type system can give you on top of correctness: autocomplete works better with types, so does automated refactoring. Compile-time polymorphism is lovely. Return type polymorphism is awesome.

Hey, I think you scoring our first customer is probably the most important thing either of us has done, and I'm really excited about sales starting to roll in. I know that I'm not very good at that kind of thing, and so I should focus on the codebase. Because you're much more effective at it than me, I wonder if you should allocate a higher proportion of your time into sales and business development.

As a two-person company, we need to be as smart as possible with our most limited resource: time. I appreciate that you're making an effort to contribute to our codebase, but I have a few small concerns:

- Your commits have introduced a number of bugs. It takes me twice+ as long to fix a bug you wrote than one I did because I need to understand what you did. I think we both agree that we want to make sure that X and Y features are done as soon as possible, so please be very cautious about committing any code that could introduce bugs that will block progress. Once we get better unit testing, it will be easier for you to contribute code more safely, so lets think about improving testing after X and Y.

- It was disappointing that we didn't land Z customer because of an internal communication failure on what features had been implemented. I think we need some documentation about what the product is capable of. If you could take this on, that'd be awesome. I'll try to do better at communicating what I've implemented with changelists or 'new feature' emails.

- I know you like to show customers the codebase when walking them through the product. I'm worried this is too technical, and perhaps documentation or a pared down marketing 'fact-sheet', or 'user stories', or something like that could be a more effective visual aid for these meetings.

I really appreciate your spirit and effort in everything we've built together. Your code has been helpful, but we have SO much to do that isn't purely code that I think we should 'divide and conquer' for the next few months: I'll try to finish X and Y features, and you get another couple of customers. I think if we accomplish that, our company would be in a really strong position.

What do you think?`

Make it clear that his bugs are introducing operational costs, and that you want to mitigate that cost.

Don't use the 'stick' to keep him away from the code, but rather dangle 'carrots' in all of the other parts of the business that need work.

The US will continue to cut funding for research and higher education in general. This will give China the edge in almost every level and attract top researchers back. The US is losing its edge.
These two guys were the leaders of a crowd that kept under siege overnight a public building where a Catalonia court officer was making a search escorted by police.

The crowd vandalized several police cars and these two guys are caught in video on the roof of one car directing the vandals so you're right, the alleged reason is not their support of independence.

About the risk for all of these nice folks: wait and see.
I mean, it may be an attack on their linguistic plurality but the flip side of that plurality is that English is the de-facto national language rather than a language native to India. Not saying either viewpoint is more correct than the other, but I've heard both positions expressed.

I didn't frame anyone. I just said that the people calling the shots in this conflict are nationalists.

In fact, I'm saying the majority of non-nationalistic people are just hostages in this fight, which are only good to convert more people to the cause.
Object Detection with Open Images using Tensorflow
I had the same thought when reading the article. NYC became NYC partly because of the need for physical proximity of businesses. For example, there was a time when you HAD to be physically present on Wall Street to exchange stocks.

In the 21st century, how great the need for physical proximity in the tech industry? Sure, it's convenient to have a ton of skilled devs in one place, but does that convenience outweigh the (rather extreme) cost? Is this sort of flocking behavior a cultural hand-me-down from a bygone area?

That said, this isn't an either/or situation. We can fix SF's mass transit situation AND we can find ways of spreading out businesses across the US.
I finally visited Chicago a few years ago. I probably can't handle your winters but otherwise, it's a great city, accent on city. My brother made sure he shot baskets on Obama's court. I sail, and unfortunately, we (family thing) got there about two weeks before the boats got put into the water; so no beer can racing for me.

I hope Chicago or Saint Louis gets Amazon's second HQ but not at too great a cost.

BEAM VM does a very good jobs. It serves financial, large telecom, messaging, web and many other services. It is one of the marvels of software engineering. Not only does it provide this N:M scheduling well, it also provides process heap isolation between concurrency units (processes).

Heap isolation is very important, it increases safety, fault tolerance and provides guarantees that are just not there with shared memory model. Heap isolation is also other CSP/Erlang-like-clones ignore when they say they provide an Erlang-like environment. The only equivalent is really something like forking hundreds of thousands of OS processes [+]

> Once that deficiency is fixed (yes...we're still waiting after 30 years) green threads can go away.

I am not sure when it will be fixed. We'd need to be able to run one million OS processes effectively with the same latency and memory usage as what Erlang's processes currently have. We haven't gotten there in 30 years as you said, I don't think we are getting any closer. Sure there are machines that could probably run a lot more OS processes than before, but then putting an Erlang VM on the same hardware would allow running even more of its lightweight processes and so on.

[+] Another interesting exception could be Rust. If say threads were very cheap to create and could have millions of them, then could provide the same memory safety guarantees at compile time.
I have a hard time believing that you built a non-trivial SPA that you consider easy to maintain without an abstraction beyond jQuery.

There's just inherent complexity in software, so it's like suggesting that you built an application without ever writing code outside of main() (functions are for hipsters).
We can change the title but someone needs to suggest a better one, as I can't think of one.

We use a combination of both - the app is old enough that uuid's weren't an option when it was started - and like the gp said, even in the case of text fields theres a bunch of other things that degrade perf before those joins become an issue. that being said, we are hopeful that the new pg10 hash indexes will be a good fit for these (we already cant do range lookups on a uuid) and are hopeful that we will get a speed improvement with them when we get to that point.
No dude, authority emanates from armies, which are never irrelevant. And the writing is on the wall.
