I don't think it's a generational thing, I know plenty of older fans of the eSport I follow (Age of Empires 2). There are way more younger fans / players, of course, but that's true of anything about video games.

In many ways, eSports are way better IMO than the traditional sports I watch: the players are more relatable, the casting is more interactive, the broadcasts are more available, the games are strategically much deeper.

The explanation is that that kind of post doesn't provide as much "engagement" (i.e. likes, shares and in the end ad revenue) as the kind of posts that makes facebook a worse place (click-bait kind of articles, "fake news", gif memes etc).

Something like this happened to me too (though it was about a newborn baby). FB simply decided that some of my contacts are not worth showing up in my feed. Some other instead keep popping up, despite me clicking "Hide post - See fewer posts like this" like mad.

Yeah, KDE 4 looked a lot like Vista, KDE 3 looked like Windows 95, and KDE 5 looks like Windows 10.

> high income countries are only "great" because they have achieved a great deal of institutional, economic and scientific sophistication

Wrong. High-income countries are "great" because they have been granted by history (and luck) healthy-ish institutions, beneficial economic conditions and have had the resources and foresight to conduct scientific exploration.

What the US has done with those factors (some individuals willingly and deliberately and some entities due to economic push/pull factors such as being beholden to shareholders and quarterly profit figures) is to exploit cheap labor, first in the US and later on abroad.

This has been done with utter disregard for the health, safety and well-being of workers and consumer. It has always taken at least one tragedy, or general public outrage, for either the government or corporations to change course.

In simple but not simplistic terms: A significant share of wealth in the United States is the direct result of exploitation of non-American labor.

Now, the US isn't alone in doing things this way. All countries and market participants do this to some extent, because the economic incentive and opportunity structure in the world encourages it. But to hell with anyone pretending our (industrialized, western) wealth isn't built on the broken bones of others!
Other than the common correlation with electricity usage and possible environmental benefits, I have trouble sharing the concern for the loudness of a powerful PC. Unless room space is very limited, I always just kept my PCs far enough away from my desk that the sound of fans became little more than regular ambient noise, not very noticeable against the fans or air conditioning I already had.

Granted, I never had any insanely beastly machines, generally just sub-$1500 gaming rigs. The only sounds that I ever even noticed were shorter irregular ones, like spinning disks. Perhaps the problem is simply more noticeable to other people, especially those with more powerful and thus louder machines, or people with smaller spaces who have their machines much closer, like on their desk or around their feet.

I care about ambient noise much more for other applications, like laptops or home theater PCs. For both of those, I have a strong preference for fanless models if at all possible.

The trash can Mac Pro seemed to be designed to sit on a desk, so quietness makes sense, although I don’t understand what’s so important about having very powerful machines on your desk. For machines like iMacs, the problem of placement is obviously unavoidable, but I struggle to understand why that form factor is desirable for a very powerful machine.
I really have no idea what you're talking about besides disagreeing in order to disagree.
The premise in your question is wrong. If they wanted a stock photo of a VHS tape and rights to use it, they should have gone to one of the countless stock photo sites, searched for "VHS" and bought it. Not just randomly google image search for VHS and hope they found something that's free to use.
ALways nice to see simple examples, but just going through an example, I see this:

imgWidth = pow(2, log(sqrt(stat_p.st_size/3))/log(2));

And I have no clue why because if you take 128 as input value; it converts it either to ~126 if you don't trunc to int before doing imgWidth * imgWidth * 3, if you truncate to int, you get 108; for what reason?
I must be somewhere in between. Not really new (worked as a programmer at 5 different companies), but not quite ready to be a hiring manager. Though to be fair I have never managed people in my life.

From my experience having worked in mostly agencies doing the CRUD work you described, and other "consultant-like" work, not many skills seem easily transferable to large, well-known B2C corporations where the software they work on is their own (not the property of clients) and need to deal with massive datasets. My interviews and resumes get rejected from this gap in knowledge. I simply don't have much of that sort of experience. Yet time and again I am faced with high scrutiny because of how many years I've worked in my career.

It's about time I update my resume. Perhaps I need to create a much more functional resume, and less chronological based one. Emphasizing my best personal projects and most relevant skills while trimming away the older jobs, to make myself look more fresh.
> cultural (which is an epithet for racial)

I think you make that jump too fast. I'm Dutch, and I know people of all kinds of ethnic backgrounds whose culture is closer to "Dutch culture" than to any other. I also know some people of the same ethnic backgrounds whose culture is much closer to that of the country of origin. I really mean culture here - the way people behave at home, at the dinner table. How they interact with society.

I suspect this is even stronger the case in America/Canada - My impression is that for all their differences, Caucasian and African Americans on the coasts are culturally closer to one another than to other groups in the world.

Just over two months ago I got myself a mysterious sickness, and it's puzzling doctors. I've been in bed most of the time, between visiting hospitals.

I have constant dizziness, borderline fainting (but never faint), weakness/fatigue, lots of gas (burping), ringing in my ears, dry skin, I'm losing weight despite moving very little, slow metabolism probably. I randomly get better when I can walk around for a few hours. I also get bad "attacks" when my mouth gets dry, heart races, I can't get up, and I generally feel like I'm dying, but it passes in ~10 minutes.

I had multiple blood tests, which are nearly perfect, except glycated hemoglobin, which is slightly elevated, but not at the diabetes level. I had gastroscopy, X-rays, and head MRI, two EKGs, echocardiogram, all normal. I'm finishing some heavy antibiotic treatment, which seems to have done nothing.

It's all very frustrating, my symptoms fall under so many diseases/conditions, it's extremely hard to pinpoint even with modern medicine. It can be anything from sleep deprivation, dehydration, panic attacks to more serious things like heart infection, arythmia, tumor, cancer, vestibular apparatus disorder, etc.

Diagnostics is still very very hard.

Regarding your proposed plot change, I believe it doesn't fit with the meaning of what Dia de Muertos, the holiday, is about.

There was an an interview where director, Lee Unkrich, describes how there was a plot change during development:

"My initial approach was to tell a story about an American kid with a Mexican mother and an American father. And a story about him going down to Mexico for Dia de Muertos to experience the holiday and it ultimately was a story about a kid dealing with grief and learning to let go of somebody he had lost who he loved. And we put a lot of work into it. We didn’t, we never went up on reels with it, but we had a whole script and we had done a lot of development art. But we just kind of, we realized one day that we were telling a story that thematically was antithetical to what Dia de Muertos is all about. We were telling a story about letting go. And Dia de Muertos is about never letting go. It’s about this obligation to remember our loved ones and pass their stories along. And so we kind of scraped the whole thing down one day and started over. And at that point we had spent so much time in Mexico and had been so immersed in this world that we finally felt comfortable I guess in a way that maybe we didn’t at the beginning of the process to tell a story that was actually set in Mexico about a Mexican family."

The description of Día de Muertos on Wikipedia is all about family. ("The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey.")

If there were a romantic love interest as you suggest, then I believe the result would be more like the worry of the first reviewer, "made by and for Anglos", and "fail at capturing what it is that makes this Mexican holiday so special".
And she is right, you can become a reasonable programmer doing that. But believing that there isn't much value in a formal CS education is plain naive. In reality, what she is learning is not really what CS is about. For many universities, it's actually expected that coding, except for the basic stuff, is something you learn by yourself and by solving problems in courses. The information transfer and knowledge sharing that happens when taking a degree is something almost no person can pull off at home.
What city does this happen in? Every place I lived either had a set schedule for street cleaning with clearly posted permanent signs or, for low density irregular cleaning towns, did not ticket the few cars left on the street during the day.

I mentioned my pains with the regex bit of the Design of Computer Programs course, and how Norvig had some Chtulhu like ability to write regexes that befuddle mortal minds. Lo and behold, it had been Norvig all along solving that. Python notebook available in the pytudes above.
Counterexample: loop of 8 nodes, numbered 0, 1, ..., 7.

Start with one pointer at node 0, moving with speed 5. Start the second pointer at node 1, with speed 3 which is coprime to 5, the speed of the first pointer.

The pointer positions at each step are:

0 5 2 7 4 1 6 3 repeat
1 4 7 2 5 0 3 6 repeat

The condition we need in order to guarantee it works regardless of where the two pointers start is that the difference between the speeds is coprime to the cycle length.

You can't have RC until you have setup a heap. The stack is not a safe place to put these things.

Without any memory management, things get hard fast, especially considering you still need to parse the memory layout to find out which parts of memory are even usable.
Same for me. I think this might be the actual reason they're losing out. The moment they started requiring to log in to view stuff discovered through Google anyway was the moment I stopped using them, even though I actually have an account.

KDE Plasma 5 is actually at a great state right now. It works well and you can customize it to me whatever kind of desktop you like. Canonical could have made it into whatever they wanted it to be.

It's built on top of a Qt, that works everywhere instead of GTK that just focuses on being there for GNOME. In addition to that canonical has already been using Qt for the past few years and could have just continued on with it. Alas, the decision has been made and they're not going to be changing their mind anytime soon.
There is a whole industry of sharia-compliant finance to work around the ban on loans. The solution for the christian dislike for money-lending back on those days was for non-christians to do it. A world where people don’t need loans might be nice, but not all the people can use your parents’ money (and depending on what you want to do and how rich is your family, even you might need additional financing).

But there is one more if: if the box design was commissioned into the subcontractor chain by Target and not by Netflix (with Netflix only licencing the Blu-ray content), then no company will consider themselves responsible: not Netflix, because they really had nothing to do with the box design and not Target, because the bad PR will appear in front of Netflix's door.

What to expect in YugaByte-1.0 release.
the thing is, will it work. I can understand it has worked in the past but it seems to me in the case of Amazon, it seems they've been doing this for more than a decade and it hasn't seemed to work yet in that they are not yet at the level where they can raise their prices.

The same with Uber, will they ever really kill off Lyft, local taxi services (especially with local government fighting them doing so) and public transit, as well as the other competitors springing up.
It seems like a massive transfer of VC wealth to the public without a really well thought out plan as to when and how they will be in a position that they can securely raise the prices. I think they will never be able to. That a tactic has worked in some industries and situations does not mean it will work in every situation.
I mean where I live there are other, non-Uber services that allow you to easily pick up cars sitting around the city by using your app to get into them. These are also competitors. Self driving cars might allow them to cut costs, but these will also allow others to compete on other services.
In short, I think the VCs who dream of Uber someday gouging their customers are deluded, and the same for Bezos - if that day was ever gonna come it would have come some time ago.
It’s funny how little tests like that can make such an impression. I experienced the same thing with iPhones, which had the bizarre feeling (now more normal and expected) of the content being attached to my finger when I scrolled at any speed, even back when the newly revealed content would just be a blank grid until it had time to paint the real content. I distinctly remember scrolling web pages as fast as I could on my friend’s original iPhone when it was first released, although I wonder how horribly sluggish that would feel now.

I had been trained by twitchy FPS video games from a young age to recognize even small frame skips in moving content, and the rarity of such frame skips is what enamored me about the early iPhones (although I didn’t “switch” to iPhones until the iphone 4) and made me dismiss Android phones for many years (Android flagships have been good in this department for a few years now).

Being Scandinavian, I do not really partake of whichever American regressions you may be thinking of.

I most certainly admire and find inspirational a lot of the values that built the US from the ground up. Hard work, frugality, dedication, diligence, and self-reliance, to name a few of the qualities that not least Northern Europeans brought to the expanding frontier.

Nor did they particularly hold with the slavery ways of the South.

Is there any hope that it could be used to some extent on smartphones? Or maybe there is a similar effort in that space?

One factor is the reputation/blacklist system. If you are harrassed on a bus, you don't have much recourse. Sure, you can complain to the metro police, but all they can do is take a report. On a shared ride like this, Uber/Lyft can increment the "harassment complaint" counter of all of the other riders with you. A regular harasser will quickly add up multiple complaints, and will be banned from the system.

Honestly, the biggest change brought by Uber, AirBNB, etc. is the reputation and recourse systems. They have brought a lot of accountability to systems that historically were low on them on both sides. The newly-found accountability allowed a lot of new entrants to these markets that weren't saddled with the high levels of process that had been used in the past to impose even a little accountability on these services.
It sucks that a company is suppressing the will of the people because it's greedy. That said,

> So next time you call for censoring "fake news", think again, because it's not you who will benefit from it.

This line of thinking doesn't lead to a society that tries to make things better than they were before. Personally I prefer reminding people that democracy is a 365 day/ year job. Don't avoid doing things because bad people exist in the world: instead, commit to lifelong stewardship of your community along with your fellow community members such that there will always be a conscientious group of people to try to keep bad things from happening.

That's because any policy which gives free money unilaterally to 320 million people is going to be incredibly expensive. 14,000 * 320 million = 4,480,000,000,000...$4.5 trillion. Just...no. This is more than the Federal government takes in every year currently ($3.27 trillion).
You on the other hand seem to completely ignore property based testing. Do look it up, it's not just for the FP crowd (even though it did come from there).

Here's a primer: you think of some property that must hold for your object. Take a ring buffer for instance: if you push N elements, it must be of size N (assuming it's capacity is N or more). Then you generate random input, and use it to test your property. One property, thousands of tests. Once that's done, you can move on to some other property (like, the ring buffer must have FIFO behaviour).

> to declare something as popular and influential as those two concepts "worse than useless" without bothering to understand them is, well, ballsy.

It wouldn't be the first time our industry demonstrated blatant inadequacy —at least in hindsight. We're still a young field, popularity doesn't mean much. Maybe I would have considered mocking if I didn't know of property based testing. But the power difference between singular unit testing an property based tests is too great to ignore.

The reason I call mocking frameworks "worse than useless" is because they turn you away from property based tests. If they were at least compatible with them… I'll allow one exception: if you can use the same mock with all the random input, or at least easily generate a moc per random input, then it wouldn't be too bad.

It wouldn't be too good either, though. I'd rather test with the real stuff. If there's a regression, it will be revealed, with or without mocking. Actually, if some dependency isn't properly tested (distracted dev or something), not mocking it gives you a second chance at detecting bugs. On the other hand, have you ever seen a regression that would have gone undetected if you didn't used mocking? That doesn't seem plausible.

The only use I see for mocks is to track down bugs once they are detected —by narrowing the search space. But I've never needed it in practice, with one possible exception: Lua.

Are you using dynamic typing? That would explain a lot.

Great stuff! I was working on a project where we needed a database of all airports around the world. I used http://ourairports.com/data/ IIRC. Out of curiosity, what's different in your project? Also, would be good to add the type of airport (e.g. airfield, airport, etc.).

First of all, you're missing the point of the article. Softbank is increasing its stake in Uber, which can only be a good thing, even if it's a markdown from its last preferred round.

Second of all, you bandy around private like it's a bad thing. The reason why these companies are successful is because they pioneered a much more better solution than the alternatives. Take, for example the public service Access-a-Ride [1]. This is the kind of "quality" you get without competition and innovation.
