Everything except coffee capsules/pods/bars. These pre-apportioned single-use container of ground coffee beans produce way too much waste, are 10 times more expensive and are no better than instant coffee.

Your favorite traditional coffee culture that was popular before the hype around coffee capsules/pods/bars are fast, as convinent (fully automatic machines) and taste great.
This is the thing that always confuses me. Google is a company that we all associate with a fairly high quality of technical work, and yet they still appear to use as interview questions what we'd all consider to be really poor proxies for on-the-job performance. I can't seem to reconcile those two things.
I don't know mercurial, and I agree about the limitation you mention for stashing the index. That said if I need to do a refactoring or something else while I have an unclean tree, I stash before doing it, then commit it, and then unstash my work.

> What hg has is a few different features that make it possible to build up not just a single commit but an entire commit sequence and do operations on that commit sequence (like reorder them).

Again, I've never used hg (beyond a simple tutorial), but you can commit frequently with git (every few other changes "WIP") and reorder / fuse / edit later through interactive rebase.

To be fair to the haters, even modern PHP can be horrible. The old nightmares are still around; we've just agreed to ignore them, and maybe deprecate a couple of the worst. (And ternary syntax is still broken, and the standard library is anything but standard.)

But yes, if you're working on a modern PHP project, there's a lot to love: A solid module system, an enormous sea of high quality libraries, type checking, a really nice deployment and scalability story, decent performance, good tooling (IDEs, debuggers, etc.), a servicable C-style syntax. For many purposes (not all!) it's ten times better than, eg, nodejs. (Which might seem like a low bar, I admit...)
once your channel has a certain number of subscribers (1000, maybe? it's a fairly low number), youtube starts paying you per view. demonetized videos don't count towards your viewcount so you don't get paid for them. This makes youtubers very angry.
Loved the part that explains how to prevent your servers from being hacked. You must "defend it" with energy drinks.

All of the points this article makes are already addressed in the last one.

Yes, Uber is running a production Go service with massive QPS. This is exactly what the original author meant when referring to Go's strengths with single-purpose, high performance, "nano" services with relatively little business logic.

There is also the insistence that frameworks are bad and developers absolutely have to care about "granular control" and "manipulation of bytes and bits" and packets and IO (unless they're writing a "glorified todo list") which rubs me the wrong way. Why is it so hard to acknowledge that there are a large number of perfectly good websites and codebases that do well with popular frameworks?

We ourselves have a proxy layer and a couple other services written in Go, and they work great, but the rest of our stack is Java and some Python. Developers are free to choose the best tool for the job when starting new project, but after a few days of messing around in Go every new service is undoubtedly built using our existing web stack.
With git, you can stage line by line, file by file. You don’t need to commit everything at once. Also, you can add the lines you want in to staging, then use the stash feature to temporarily save lines that you don’t want in the commit. This allow you to test the commit without all of the extra lines you don’t want.

I would highly suggest reading Pro Git [0], a well written book on not only how to use git, but also the best practices, common workflows, and some of the internals in to how git works. Many refer to it as the essential book on git.

Lots of legit critique here. Apple certainly has a significant list of longstanding issues to resolve with their product-line. I've been particularly frustrated with my butterfly keyboard. The feel of the keys is lovely, but the reliability has been very sketchy.

But even with all the problems lately, I still haven't seen a laptop on the market as satisfying to use as a MacBook Pro, or a mobile device as carefully designed and engineered as an iPhone.

They're still leading the industry on both fronts.
Here's the earliest legal work on this stuff which will probably interest you:

I don't see anything wrong with that. Google did this before to fight search engine spam. Top positions for money keywords in search results were manually reviewed by humans.
Now advertisers do not want to be advertised on specific videos to avoid risk of brand damage.
Most countries define security as either equity or fixed income instrument and that's all. Nothing of the US "maybe it is, maybe it isn't ... is there expectatiom of profits? ... so maybe it is or it isn't"

My country has a list of things that are securities written into the law. Until they write in there crypto tokens they are not securities.
That makes sense. The problem is that at the end of the day the decision will have to be made either by algorithms or by people. Algorithms are less nuanced, hard to write, and will often fail, people are expensive and biased.

With the amount of videos youtube has to process, and without an almost human-level AI, I don't think there's a perfect solution.

Algorithms flagging videos for review, and then humans making decisions based on some basic set of principles seems right.

Also, to let advertisers decide where to spend their money there's targeting tools...
> It's very difficult to make a lot of money from YouTube ads

Like anything else, I think you have to find your audience. A 6 year old apparently made $11 million this year off his YouTube channel:

Obviously. But that's not my argument.

The argument is that availability bias and media sensationalism makes the problem of "unarmed black man gets shot and killed by white police officer" seem a far bigger problem than it actually is.
I have ADHD, so often as I am working on one feature, I will begin accidentally working on another unrelated feature along side it. I rely on staging a lot to ensure that each commit has only the parts that it needs.
creaters can find the monetary status of the videos in their dashboard. They get notified whenever any of their video is demonitized.
But what advertiser wants to spend their time selecting videos to put their ads on? I don't see how your solution would be accepted. And automatic categorization doesn't work - otherwise Google wouldn't be spending money on humans.
Strongly echo this sentiment. Last time I used TFS was probably in 2011 so things might have changed significantly since then but off the top of my head things I use to hate but now don't need to worry about since using git over TFS:

- Offline? Looks like you'll have to wait to make that change or any other change for that matter since you can't check out files if you're offline. When doing remote work this use to do my head in.

- TFS On Premise putting readonly locks on every file you have. Why? Great question. Made writing build scripts and their ilk much harder to accomplish.

- Want to make a branch? That'll be an entire copy of the source code times however many branches you want
I think it's the combination of anonymity and inability to police themselves. Offline communities make it easy to do the latter, even if it's something as crude as punching a person in the face. So people can say anything and they face no consequences.
These look like childish demo apps. Has a summer intern written these? Why are they launched under Google brand?
Scala, or C# ?

There's Nim and D too, but I get the lack of big commercial backing could disqualify them.
Companies make charitable donations to entities registered with the tax authorities as charities. When a donation is scrutinised during an audit its clear what its for, based on the receiving entity. A random payment to a person looks like a bribe or some suspicious activity when its not in direct exchange for goods or services. This will require an explanation to the person conducting the audit at the very least.
Really surprising that these new startups like Kairos are doing as good a job as the big guys like Msft/AWS.

Whatever happened to the theory behind data network effects, why do the big tech companies are not having an unfair advantage w.r.t ML APIs?
These rules seem incredibly strict, in a way that could seriously limit original content.

If I was to make a show similar to Trailer Park Boys, about a bunch of comedic stoners bumbling around and swearing a bunch, it would be demonetized.

Trailer Park Boys is a good example, since it's a show that you could produce on a minimal budget and try to launch on Youtube.
Stashes should cover your first scenario; put those changes (both staged and unstaged, optionally also untracked files) in a bag and re-apply them when you are back from your short expedition: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash

To clean up outgoing changes, you can run an interactive rebase of the current branch onto its remote tracking counterpart. This will list all affected commits in a text editor, and allows you to reorder, squash, change the commit message or the content, much like how you describe it works in hg: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_interactive_mode
For me it's Bandcamp as well as independent online record stores like:

- Piccadilly Records

- Norman Records

- Boomkat

- Red Eye Records

- Bleep

Some of these stores offer digital, lossless purchasing options, but more importantly all of them feature staff curated recommendations and featured releases, which are, to me, more effective than Spotify's algorithms. I can't count the number of times Spotify recommends songs I clearly already know and have been listening to via the service before.
There is no real solution for that. Even the legal system flip-flops periodically. We have a Supreme Court as final arbiter of these judgement calls, but there is no means to completely escape the issue of human subjectivity influencing human judgement calls.
Six months? You give them more credit than they deserve.
Or "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."
He is correct though, at least from the perspective of Go's own designers? Wasn't "systems language" removed from the description at some point. I've listened to interviews with Rob Pike who even outright said they got the messaging wrong there.

I think it's pretty well accepted that no systems language has GC. Go is on the same abstraction layer as Java/C#. Everything in text can be taken as a slight, and to ensure that doesn't read that way, I am a believer in targeting that level of abstraction most of the time. I think it's the sweet spot. I'm not a fan of the dual language approach targeting high (Python) and low (C). Java or C# makes more sense to me, for most software. That's my opinion. If I needed more than what those heavy hitters provide, I'd just go all the way and reach for Rust myself.

So I don't necessary see the parent comment from ctf as combative. I think he's just seeking accuracy.
6 Travel Tips from the US National Counterintelligence Center
Thanks, as some who hasn't grown up watching Hollywood or reading English sci-fi, I couldn't get the context.
Well not every Hollywood exec especially add value to scripts. And we can thank them for dozens of boring super hero movies.

Nowadays we all know the infamous story of the Ex-Sony Movie Exec Amy Pascal the story is rather distusging.
I hadn’t considered the impacts such a ruling would have on zero ratings schemes, the two hadn’t even connected in my mind, but now that it’s been mentioned it would clearly fall afoul of any existing regulations. There used to be a similar plan from Optus in Australia to zero rate Facebook, and there’s currently one to do the same with Spotify, but today these accompany generous data plans in general, whereas originally it was offered on very low cap plans such as the 100mb/mo plan. Curious to see how this plays out internationally in countries like Aus where this already occurs unchallenged, and whether they will now go further following the ruling in the U.S.
yeah, half the time it only results in Venezuela-like misery and rabbit starvation. takes a rare successful socialist society to spin all the way up to killing millions of its own citizens like the USSR, China, and Cambodia managed
If the ship is decelerating, then the second stage moves slower than the first stage.

But even if this was true, the second stage would already be here.

As the first stage goes at tens of kilometers per second and as we did not detected the second stage it is probably at more than a AU, so it will need more than a million seconds to reach earth, only more than 11 days, actually.
That sounds like your argument, that somehow other causes of violent death are higher than systematized killings by law enforcement? By what metric are police shootings in America not a huge problem? They are one of the most common forms of homicide by a stranger (representing between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 of all such killings). Nothing about this should be accepted as normal or unconcerning.

Learn some actual science. Buy a group theory textbook.
In practice I have found the biggest missing feature that I wish existed is the ability to pull a single file from a known ref on a remote server. For example, give me the Dockerfile located in the root of the master branch tip. Can't do that. Instead, you have to clone the entire repo first.
Problem with stashing is that you then need to redo the work of staging afterward.
Is it better than nodets?
This timeline should clear things up:

2008: FCC issues Comcast order citing ancillary jurisdiction under the Communications Act of 1934.

2010: Comcast v. FCC strikes down only that justification.

2010: FCC issues a new Open Internet Order primarily based on section 706 authority. See pages 62-150 of https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-201A1.p...

2014: Verizon v. FCC strikes down the Open Internet Order because FCC didn't classify ISPs under Title II.

2015: FCC classifies ISPs under Title II. Tom Wheeler comments that "this is no more a plan to regulate the Internet than the First Amendment is a plan to regulate free speech. They both stand for the same concept."
> i thought that was the point of phones

agree 100%, so it seems odd to me that the SE is a 'niche' product and demand is largely for the bigger units. I bought mine from the palo alto apple store and i had to wait a week to get mine. the apple guy told me this was due to low steady state inventory relative to the other iphones.

and the fact that i'm less tempted to surf the web, etc with this 4" screen is another advantage
I think most police officers mean well. They're just trapped in a system that gives them the job of 'hurting people'.

Most of the police I interacted with were good guys. I got pulled over twice - the scottsdale officer bounced over & told me why he'd pulled me over (instead of asking for a confession). The sheriff asked for a confession ("Do you know why I pulled you over?", "I have some ideas..."), but decided I didn't need a ticket for missing that stop sign and gave me a written warning.

A retired cop I know was telling a cop story which included him telling someone "I don't make the rules I just enforce them." I've realized this is probably the origin of the term 'cop out'.

These diaries are two of my recent efforts to better define the tension between police and the public:

America's Make-Work Sheriff: The Anachronism of Joseph Arpaio - http://www.taxiwars.org/2017/09/americas-make-work-sheriff-a...

Ordinary Rendition: The Public Servants' Quagmire - http://www.taxiwars.org/2017/10/ordinary-rendition-public-se...

'Advice from a cop' was one of my earliest diaries at kuro5hin.org (RIP) - http://www.taxiwars.org/2012/04/15-sprinter-addict-advice-fr... - "Officer Steel" (I guess) really put the police's job in perspective for me.

Really the politicians need to be held accountable for screwing up the police's job - institutionalized racism was replaced with an unwinnable 'war on drugs'. I learned about 'mens rea' (guilty mind) and 'strict liability' ("crimes" where no victim is required) from some HN comments (thanks, whoever that was):

> Mens rea (/ˈmɛnz ˈriːə/; Law Latin for "guilty mind"[1][2][3]) is the mental element of 1) intention to commit a crime or 2) knowledge that one's action or lack of action would cause a crime to be committed. It is a necessary element of many crimes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea

> A regulatory offence or quasi-criminal offence is a class of crime in which the standard for proving culpability has been lowered so a mens rea (Latin for "guilty mind") element is not required. Such offences are used to deter potential offenders from dangerous behaviour rather than to impose punishment for moral wrongdoing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict_liability_crime
I believe there's a flag to `commit` that effectively does `add .` first.

I disagree with your statistic though - I can't tell you what the flag is precisely because it's almost never what I want; so I never use it and haven't learnt it.

I think these things just vary with workflow.
Just thinking about this scenario is enough to give me goosebumps.

Imagine the alien probe about to leave the outer perimeter of our solar system while our makeshift-to-the-aliens probe is trying to catch up to it while detonating one nuke after another.

You'd think that would catch their attention.
It's possible that the first stage was also used to decelerate a bit before being jettisoned, explaining the relatively low speed
there is no evidence that human sexuality is the result of conditioning, but let’s pretend it is. who conditioned nearly all the other mammals to have the same pattern we do? and why did we bother to condition ourselves to behave in a way that nature clearly provides?
Because he’s a maintainer and sees it daily, as I do. The best that most companies “contribute” are poor bug reports served with entitled attitude and expectation that you’ll fix the issue they’re having. PRs? Nah, not even if you ask for them. There are exceptions but they are very rare.
Lol... "buy software'
The time stamp is handled on receipt of the hash by third parties in my mind, not by the originating device. Ideally the position component of the data would also be verified by 3rd parties, eg cell towers receiving the data add their own signatures so you know it was at least in the region it claims.

The high quality prints problem is more interesting. I’d hope that sort of trick would be detectable by inspection, but then we’re back to cat/mouse games with AI.

If we all switched to crypto verified light field photography, we could at least force hoaxsters to build dioramas :)
I subscribed to Laracasts a few months ago and use it off and on as I develop a couple of web projects. I really like his style of video coaching.
As the author points out, it is an unnecessary primitive, once you learn about things like commit —amend, which you will inevitably eventually learn about anyway. Adding redundant ways to do the same thing is not the way to make a tool approachable.

The basic problem is that git was designed to solve Linus’s problems, and Linus’s problems are not your problems. However, because of network effects, most of us end up using the same tool.
The fact that people are able to state such openly shows that you are not really in a police state.
this is petty pandering and moral grandstanding. if he thinks his gains are truly ill-gotten, he can purify his money by giving it to charity. instead he is buying bespoke suits.

90 percent? Probably close to 99. While a significant portion of crypto is probably owned by rich people, the vast majority of actual owners of crypto is owned by people who make far less than that.

For every millionaire out there who is investing in crypto, there are a few hundred people who just want to buy things off the dark web.
>Heck, even the "final solution" orders weren't put in signing

I believe that's not at all how Hitler operated. He'd vaguely suggest things to his underlings, who would then go off and do something like what they guessed he wanted. Sounds an incredibly up-in-the-air way of doing things. I learnt about that from the excellent series Nazis: A Warning from History. After watching that you won't be in the least surprised there's no paper record of any particular initiative. (So I didn't look at that link.)
Police in the US have a much looser set of "rules of engagement" than US armed forces do overseas. The police will draw and point their guns for a huge variety of reasons, because they feel afraid, because of the skin color of someone they're approaching, or simply because they want to encourage compliance. And the police are often quite free with using non-lethal forms of violence, from tazers to pepper spray. It's really rather shocking that these things alone are tolerated, but of course in a country where hundreds are killed by police every year it's obvious that the line is well past where it should be.
> VICE News examined both fatal and nonfatal incidents to determine that cops in the 50 largest local departments shot at least 3,631 people from 2010 through 2016.

But then right below that they give a graphic which covers the same period and breaks the shootings down into fatal (1378), nonfatal (2720), and unknown (283). That's a total of 4381, or 750 more than the number give in the paragraph above the graphic.

Also, note that they say their data is for the 50 largest departments. They say 1378 fatal shootings for 2010 through 2016. Add in the 283 unknown shootings because they might have also been fatal, and that gives 1661 fatal shootings.

It's interesting to compare to the data from killedbypolice.net. KBP data starts 2013-05-01, and here are the fatal shooting counts by year:

2013: 779
2014: 1114
2015: 1220
2016: 1165

That comes to 4278 in 43 months, or 99.5/month. Compare to Vice's 1661 in 84 months, or 19.8/month.

Vice says their data covers about 148k police officers serving 54 million Americans. That's about 1/5th of all police officers [1], so it looks like the ratio of fatal shootings per month from all departments to those from the 50 largest departments is about the same as the ratio of number of offices to number of office in the 50 largest departments. That suggests there isn't much difference between large departments and small departments.

[1] Based on numbers I Googled, although I was only able to find 2008 numbers.
If they don’t accomplish the goal (and they don’t), you can hardly call them “effective”.
