No, please stop spreading revisionist interpretation of the Marseillaise.

Here's a book extract back from 1848 that clearly shows that everyone, even back then, understood "sang impur" as the blood of the enemy. That was just 50 years or so after the Marseillaise was created.

> Cinq mois sont à peine écoulés et dans la fièvre de civilisation des esprits chagrins disent de dissolution qui nous travaille nous avons tout usé république sociale démocratique bourgeoise gouvernements d avocats de savants dïgnoranls de poëles de utilitaires et au milieu de ce tohu bohu de recherches de tortues gouvernementales l art musical s est tu comme OII le pense bien car il n y avait rien de bien harmonieux dans la rlIarsei laise provoquant à verser le sang impur des soldats étrangers qui ne sont guère plus féroces que nous et ne songent nullement ù venir mugir dans nos canzpagnes Même avant que la guerre civile vint rugir dans la cité chants avaient cesse Il faut espérer qu ils vont reprendre c un des meilleurs moyens de persuader à l Europe pour la France Paris surtout est un objet Œanæieuse curiosité notre capitale peut redevenir le centre des arts et de la civilisation

https://books.google.co.jp/books/content?id=OILsHAshyJ8C&hl=...

It's also painfully obvious that your "sang impur" interpretation is wrong when you read all the other verses of the Marseillaise (not just the chorus), since so many other parts of the song refer to killing the (foreign) invaders.

> Quoi ! Des cohortes étrangères
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers !

> Tremblez, tyrans et vous, perfides,
L'opprobre de tous les partis !
Tremblez ! Vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leur prix.

> Que tes ennemis expirants
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire !

And to your point, the Marseillaise is not a racist song anyway, but it's a nationalistic one. It fits extremely well in its era of emerging nations in Europe (spreading the idea that you belong to something bigger than your direct community/village/town/city). France was on the brink of being annihilated at the time of the Revolution by foreign kingdoms trying to take power and restore the monarchy, and it was a song to gather popular support.
I’d say so.

It's not cheating, but you haven't rolled your own container: because in the end you don't have one.

Let's make an analogy. Suppose a language didn't have tail recursion, but by using goto you could "roll your own." So we're on the same page, right? you get what I'm saying, and how rolling your own might look and work, right?

Now suppose I said that without goto, it is literally impossible to roll your own tail recursion. (ignore whether this is true it's just an analogy.) You are saying, no it's not: you can patch the generated executable, so as long as it is possible to patch executables using go (i.e. if it can read and write binary files), then you can roll your own tail recursion even without goto, through binary patching post compilation. It might just be tedious or special-cased to one specific file but you can do it (you're saying)

See the difference? It's not that patching an executable is "cheating." It's just that it's outside of the definition of rolling your own tail recursion.

Likewise it's not that source code generation is "cheating." It's just outside the definition of rolling your own container. it's simply not what rolling your own means. after you've done it, you don't have a container.

my analogy is a bit leaky but I think it gives insight, and I hope you see what I mean.
Ya, when it comes to BBC's top-flight documentaries, and anything Attenborough, the resolution is very much beside the point. The imagery is amazing for what it is, for how much effort and research is necessary to gather it. I'd rather watch Attenborough talk about snails in black and white, on an airport TV, than anything produced by the history channel in high-dynamic 48k. That said, if any production deserves the absolute best it is a BBC nature doc.
" graduates with an English degree have about a 4.9 percent chance of working in one of these food service occupations for some time between the ages of 22 and 26.

By comparison, the average among all degree holders in this age group is about 3.5 percent. So English majors are only about 1.4 percentage points more likely to work in food service than the average for all degree holders."

That is incorrect.

Using the figures supplied by the article, English majors are 40% more likely to work in food service than the average degree holder.

( ( 4.9 - 3.5 ) * 100 )/ 3.5

I shall desist from the now traditional comments about innumeracy and the possible association with certain majors...

You are being disingenuous. He's not just rich compared to an unemployed coal miner, or an employed one for that matter. He is rich compared to the vast majority of the US, and and even more vast majority of the world. Based in the GP, he's likely in the 3rd percentile for income in the US, and the .1 percentile for the world. This is essentially a minor noble complaining that the major nobles have nicer things than he does, and that the king should redistribute it (but not too much, we can't have the peasants wasting any of our precious resources)

> Right now, we have the magical //go:generate comment, but since it requires manual invocation of "go generate", artifacts can and do get out of sync with the Go code.

It's pretty easy to enforce that as a build constraint in your CI system; we do that with our Go projects. If the output of `go generate` isn't checked into git, the build fails. (Same if the code hasn't been formatted with gofmt).

It's really unlikely anyone is going to convince a Republican to vote for a Democrat, or vice versa. It's not like politics in other countries were people are willing to switch parties when it's obvious the representation isn't working to their interests. The U.S. is stuck in tribalism for the foreseeable future, if anything it probably gets worse before it gets better.

The motivation though, should be on the ~55% of eligible voters who don't vote. If nothing else I think we'd get a better signal to noise ratio in the actual election results, which is exactly why Republicans make up lies about voter fraud, in order to make it harder for citizens to vote. Notice how they aren't running to secure old voting systems and make them auditable. No they go directly to voter suppression and gerrymandering. And it makes complete sense, because if they stop doing that, they lose.
As a consumer, I don't like losing options, but turnabout is fair play.

I'm a Prime subscriber but can't watch Prime videos (TV and movies) on my regular Android device, although if I had an Amazon Kindle device I could watch them there. (And Kindle devices are an Amazon fork of Android, thus benefiting from Google's work.)

When it comes to physical streaming devices, I can use my Prime membership to buy an Amazon Fire TV, but I can't buy an Apple TV or a Google Chromecast. I could understand if Amazon wants to sell only their own device, but they do sell third-party Roku devices ("ships and sold by Amazon.com"), which means they are selectively targeting certain products.

This is pretty clearly a case of Amazon trying to use its leverage to improve its position in the streaming hardware and streaming content markets.
Not only that, but if I see a snippet of a request or chat in my Slack phone notifications, I can't read the whole thing without removing it from my notification queue.

Often I get things that I need to get to a desktop to properly respond to.

At least with email I can "Mark Unread" or label/put in a folder. I wish Slack had a way to snooze notifications while still letting you read the whole thing.
Couldn't Amazon just change the signature to look like firefox or something?

I wish google would have just made their own prime app instead of blocking them.

> Open Connect is the name of the global network that is responsible for delivering Netflix TV shows and movies to our members world­wide. This type of network is typically
referred to as a “Content Delivery Network” or “CDN” because its job is to deliver
internet­based content efficiently by bringing the content that people watch close to
where they’re watching it. The Open Connect network shares some characteristics with
other CDNs, but also has some important differences.

Netflix began the Open Connect initiative in 2011, as a response to the ever­increasing
scale of Netflix streaming. We started the program for two reasons:

1) As Netflix grew to be a significant portion of overall traffic on consumer Internet
Service Provider (ISP) networks, it became important to be able to work with
those ISPs in a direct and collaborative way.

2) Creating a content delivery solution customized for Netflix allowed us to design a
proactive, directed caching solution that is much more efficient than the standard
demand driven CDN solution, reducing the overall demand on upstream network
capacity by several orders of magnitude.

Ok, so the surface ice is being pulled down. But that means that there should be a correspondingly steady flow of deep water onto the surface. If that water is full of life then we should be able to see evidence of it in the surface ice. I'm not looking for frozen giant squid on the surface, but shouldn't we see some chemical evidence?
This has nothing to do with Buddhism. It is found in about any ancient religion out there, because it's very much in the natural order of things in human societies. Here's what you can find in the Bible (and I am pretty sure there are more):

> “The church should care for any widow who has no one else to care for her. But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God very much....But those who won't care for their own relatives, especially those living in the same household, have denied what we believe. Such people are worse than unbelievers” (1 Timothy 5:3-4, 8)
I think what that misses though is that human growth has been exponential for some time now, and if it remains exponential then even if we've only tapped 12.5% of the earths productivity, we've only got 3 doublings left before we hit the proverbial wall. I think that it could be true that there is more nature left than we think, but also be true that there is less time left than we think.

> Not only do you constantly have to wrap and unwrap potential error values to unify different error types

This is a legitimate issue, although in Haskell you can use one error type like Go does if you want to.

> And as if that wasn't bad enough, there are also actual throw-catch-style exceptions, which are not checked in anyway

This is also the case in Go (panics and recover).

> I stopped writing Haskell maybe a year ago, but at least back then getting GHC to print a stack trace when an exception wasn't caught was a major feat that involved recompiling every single one of your hundreds of dependencies with profiling flags.

This is also the case in Go. Errors do not retain anything about their state. You need to use a package like https://github.com/go-errors/errors, which has the exact same issue you describe with dependencies.

I'm gonna piggyback on your comment to ask a question I'm not clear on. Am I correct in that if I don't set a recovery email there is absolutely no way for anyone to get access to my account unless they get my password? If that were to happen I could recover my account by proving to you I am who I say I am (perhaps gov ID plus DNS records), but my previous email will be forever encrypted?

I ask because that is what I want. I want my account to autodestruct if compromised and when recovered I want to be assured that all my personal data has been safeguarded by effectively throwing away the key into the depths of Mordor.

It did not use to be 100% available, Roku denied for a long time ship their Roku Streaming Stick 3600 to the UK. So you had to find a person that had bought it in the US, or trick them into sending it to you.

When I asked support about it they said "The 3600R is not supported in the UK, so I'm afraid it will not work", however it is now selling on Amazon.

Some believed that it was because of Sky having a deal with Roku (Sky has invested in Roku), and because of that they wanted to brand their own Rokus, or something like that.

I am glad that they have since come to their senses and agreed to sell Rokus in the UK.
Thanks.

Sorry, but that's your prerogative. I haven't seen my dad much when I was a kid because he was working his ass off to provide for his family, and help us get in better schools than my family could not afford otherwise.

If you can afford to live in luxury with only 40h a week, then it's great, but don't assume that everyone can do it without trade-offs. And if that trade-off is your kid not getting the best chances in education down the road, then it's worth thinking about it twice, if you do love your kids.
If you want to read about the theoretical underpinnings, Cassandra is derived from the original Dynamo paper[0] from Amazon, and Scylla is a drop-in replacement for Cassandra written in C++ instead of Java. Cockroach follows more closely the Google Spanner[1] approach.

>"We've been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other's products and services," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. "But Amazon doesn't carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn't make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest's latest products. Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon."

How is this even allowed? Is there any law on this type of stuff? Meaning as a consumer who is essentially held hostage?

I have seen cable networks do this with channels, but never this.
How are you using du to find things that shouldn't be in node_modules? Wouldn't you need to build up a dependency tree, based on your app's package.json and recursing into every module's peer dependencies?
I don't understand your analogy at all, but I believe the principal difference is that a code-generated container is a final, closed thing — it is not, for example, composable at compile time, so it doesn't fit into a larger type ecosystem.

For example, you could write a Vec<T> and instantiate it for Vec<string>, which is fine, but then a different package may want to declare func sort<T>(values Vec<T>). Maybe one is an app and the other is a library. How do you now fit the two together? If the tool is smart enough and both of them are generated at the same time using the same tool and module files, it might work, but I don't think there's anything like this for Go right now, and either way, you have the "same tool" problem.
Sure, Raw video is one example of that, it takes insane bandwidth and storage, but can load it from SSD fast enough that's not an issue. Really, codecs need to be closely related before encoding X helps make encoding Y.
