Would flickering even be necessary? Why not just overlay several transparent GIFs/PNGs? It’s still hackable (so is the flickering solution), but you could also add in a few more tricks to make it more work for the hackers. For example, combine the layers dynamically into a single image with a separate HTTP request to retrieve the (random) positions of each layer within that image. (Just a thought...you could make it as simple or as complex as you want.)

Most states, including many of the most populous, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, etc., have no such laws. Many of the states that do have such laws don't have restrictive ones (e.g. in Washington, you just have to be a city with the power to make your own ordinances).

If municipal broadband was something that would actually happen in the absence of these laws, why don't we see these networks popping up in all the places without such laws?
I think that was the parent's point. Target spent a whole bunch to enter Canada and it was an abject failure for, in retrospect, some pretty obvious reasons. If they were so good at data-driven decision making, they wouldn't have failed so badly.

Also, I had been looking at J (again) recently, and noticed that it has a similar concept of composing operations as K does. I guess it is because both are from the APL family of languages, as shown in the "Influenced" section here:

"We aren’t in your city right now, but don’t lose hope! We are expanding into new cities every week. We’ll shoot you an email when we are expanding into your area!"

This is definitely not in competition with Walmart, Amazon, or even a company I currently use for grocery delivery (instacart). It's a great move for a company that isn't even nationwide at this point. This should help them to move into more cities.
> I can find out how much it's creating

No, you can trust them to tell you how much they're creating. Important distinction.

> I can even vote for people whose dollar creation opinions line up with mine.

The people who run the FED aren't elected, so no, you can't.

> In BTC I don't know who's creating it, what they believe about it and I have no way to affect their creation of it.

It doesn't matter, the issuance is controlled by the protocol and you can know how much Bitcoin will be created on 2105/06/25 by making a few simple calculations.

So if you don't agree with it you can bail out right now and never participate in it, no one forces you to.

Curious about why this article went missing from the first few pages in a few minutes it took me to read it. Is it by design or intervention and if intervention then the rationale for it.

I found the article to be underscoring in detail the modus operandi of sexual harassment in the film industry (and workspaces in general) and adds a fair amount of interesting thoughts to my mind about the functioning of society and inherent oppression within.
> How exactly would this treat e.g.

yt $URL/somefile

> Would the variable still be expanded? Would an asterisk glob be?

No. Pure should mean don't do anything from here on, just pass the arguments to the function.

> If I _did_ want it to expand something even though the function is declared "pure", how would that work?

If expanding should be possible in a pure context, then maybe by using a known syntax like:

yt ($URL)/somefile

Eshell expands Lisp code when using (lisp-code-here) which is kind of elegant. So when in a pure context, you would have to switch to expansion-mode by using curly braces.
In my country, it is an obligatory class at the equivalent of the US middle school level (10-14 year old).

However, doing something as complicated as "computing and informatics" (a literal translation of the subject name) that early in the school education just made it absolutely terrible, much worse than the traditional classes were in my school.

I still excelled at it, mostly because of books (the Internet wasn't as widespread as it is today), and was a part of the state-sponsored small contests that test student's knowledge in that subject. Finished first on the municipality level, shared the second position on the regional level, and didn't go to the state level competition (was a bit too far away). That's what made me pursue IT further.

However, all I've ever learned during those four years was:

* Installing a pirated copy of Windows XP on desktops.

* "Blind typing" (typing properly on QWERTY keyboard without looking at the keyboard) and clicking on things in MS Office (2003) to make the document appear as in given screenshot.

* Mashing two malfunctioning desktops together to create a functioning one.

* Very basic programming (mostly if-else statements and loops). In QBASIC (from 1991). In 2008. (edit: This is what the competitions were about.)

My point being: You can still introduce it as an obligatory subject and fuck it up pretty badly. Including myself, two out of 120 kids in that school in my generation continued pursuing IT by joining specialized high schools (also a thing in my country) dedicated to IT. Neither me nor the second kid are female.

So, while I agree that it's a step in the right progress (the one which my country made in the second half of '00s, but fucked up pretty badly in its execution), it's far from being the final step. It brought us the equivalent of nothingness in spreading the IT. The IT is still associated as a "male field", regardless of the fact that the subject is obligatory for everyone in that age range for about 15 years.

Several. Or "a bunch". Or "more than a dozen".

Stand and Deliver was based on a true story.

I still have Prime, but I understand what you're saying.

I might be in the minority here but I feel like Amazon still has better selection in products than Jet/Walmart/Target.

I think if they want to succeed they need to have a lot more products, and have them all in stock.

Example: Yesterday I was looking for a Motorola phone. When I type it in Amazon I get G, G Plus, E, E Plus, X, Nexus 6, Z, G4 Play, Z Play, Z2 Play etc. All in stock, and with 2 day prime shipping.

Then I type it into Target.com and it has G, G Plus and a bunch of E models. Many were limited quantity.

It's stuff like that that personally makes me stick with Amazon for now.

> In that situation we've defined a problem: "girls are not interested in technology to the same extent that boys are"

Are you sure that's the problem? What if you restate it as "at some point in their lives, girls become less interested in technology than boys" or "at some point in their lives, girls' interest in technology declines, unlike boys'"

Now you have very different problems and very different solutions. Why does that interest decline? What is driving it? Could it be a self-propagating, hostile, "boy's club" environment in technology?

Maybe you don't even need to market to them, if they never lose the interest in it.

And based on some data, I believe that my definition of the problem is probably closer to the real problem than yours:

That's a good question. I live in Seattle and have heard many negatives about Bezos and Amazon culture. Especially from SWEs who have worked at both Amazon and other tech companies. I also have gotten offers from Amazon, and they are on the low end.

It's just a rhetorical device. The phrase "play like a girl" has already been established and associated with various advocacy groups trying to increase sports opportunities for girl who were previously discouraged from participating in the traditionally male activity.

But I think that the original phrase, "(do it) like a man" was meant to contrast with "like a boy", as in "be a mature and skilled adult, not an awkward and timid adolescent". If I'm right about that, then "code like a girl" is humorously ignorant, since "woman" would fit better. Unless this is a children's outreach thing? I dunno about that part.
It seems to me that the question they asked is overly broad:

> it is a good idea to let companies that send video or other content to consumers pay more to Internet service providers for the right to send that traffic using faster or higher quality service

That could just as easily be interpreted to mean the content providers are paying their own ISP for faster service which net neutrality would allow as it could to mean the content providers paying their users' ISP which net neutrality doesn't allow.

After Java and C# – what is next? (2003)
I'm a bit rusty, but I believe the way NTP works (at least the reference version which is commonly used) is that if a client sends too many requests in a short time, they are ignored except to reply with a "back off packet" which is called the KoD (Kiss of death) in NTP terms.

Security audits have found some issues with abusing the KoD so I'm not sure if it still works like that or if it tends to be disabled. (I was on one of the teams doing the audit, I found the "Skeleton Key" defect)

holy shipt
Maybe Target wants to expand shipit and profit off of sales from all of these other companies, the same way Amazon makes money off of its cloud infrastructure via AWS.
No, they've been putting it on paper. There's a long distance between that and actual welcoming workplaces.
>The best exit is not always a buy-out; they seem to have been doing great as an independent company.

It was not a hostile takeover so maybe Bill Smith thought they had a brighter future with with Target's investment.

From the article, it says that Target and Shipt have been in discussions since the summer so Bill and his team had several months to work out the terms of a friendly deal.

Crunchbase says they had 3 rounds of funding.[1] If it's reasonable to guess that Bill still has at least ~30% equity left, it would translate to $160+ million payout. Maybe staying independent had more risks in his mind.

I shouldn't even have to say this, but the smartest programmer I know is a non-cisgender female.
I disagree. You can and often should decouple from your database by calling only parameterized stored procedures. Your code only needs to know the name of the proc and the paeans to pass.

In non-trivial applications this is where you get the best performance bang for your buck. ORMs are convenient dev tools, but I don’t see them as real options for deploying real apps of any meaningful scale.

Not at all, look up multi-signature addresses. There are addresses where you need N-of-M signatures to move the coins.

So for example you could have a 6-of-10 multi-sig wallet for a company, so that a majority of the executives were necessary but the money wouldn't be lost if up to 4 of them lost their keys or went rogue or whatever.

Collateralized Debt Obligations - every word in the acronym screams credit. A CDO is an instrument that guarantees you a cash flow based on debt. A guarantee for you is an obligation for someone else. Chains of these guarantees and obligations is what enabled the housing bubble. The breaking of these chains caused the Great Recession.

As far as we know, the crypto bubble is not highly leveraged. One Bitcoin is worth one Bitcoin. It could trade for $1 or $1 million, but you are never obligated to take the offered price as a buyer or seller. Yes, it's complex. But it is technically complex, not relationships-obligations complex.

Patreon won't be rolling out the planned fees change
Yeah, no, I didn't mean an "iff" when I wrote "if". As a general rule of thumb, it's safe to assume everybody understands that there are exceptions to every rule (yes, including the very rule that there are exceptions to every rule). Furthermore, it's unhelpful to contest minor points like this when they're not germane to the argument being presented. Nothing in the point I was trying to get across would have changed even if I had neglected the exceptions out there.

I'm sorry, so are you saying that as a consumer you would consider it net-neutral if they blocked everything except Facebook unless you paid an additional fee, as opposed to merely de-prioritizing that traffic? You're fine with blocking but not with prioritization?!

Hermes distributed access control scheme
Assuming you've got a really thin data access layer, the general flow of things can be as simple as something like:

call method -> execute SQL statement

If you're sticking something that implements IQueryable<T> in there, then it becomes:

call method -> execute LINQ query -> compile to SQL statement -> execute SQL statement

I've found that those two extra steps in the middle typically add negative net value.

They don't really make the code more readable; LINQ is so close to basic SQL that I can't fathom how a developer who can learn to write LINQ queries wouldn't be able to grok SQL.

They cut you off from the full power of the database by limiting you to a sort of least common denominator version of the things you can do with real SQL (e.g., no PIVOT or MERGE if you're using mssql).

They make the code harder to properly understand, because it's not readily apparent what will execute on the database. Some expressions will compile to SQL, some will execute in code, and some will execute in code and also force a bunch of other stuff that might have been compilable to SQL to execute in code instead.

They will probably remove some boilerplate, but you can just as easily remove that boilerplate with a too like Dapper that doesn't come with all those other downsides.
