Ugh, that 405 change is almost enough to have me start an armed rebellion. Not only did it make traffic worse, as a motorcyclist it made my commute far more dangerous because they couldn’t be bothered to spend money for even the most trivial of barriers. Even the car drivers are scared, because they all huddle in the left HOT lane. It is one of the few public projects that blatantly appears to involve some degree of graft.

Thanks for the tip on using git on port 443. I didn't know it was possible to do that with SSH keys. I have 2FA on my account, so I can't use just HTTPS.

Also, yeah I setup a VPN on port 80, so I can effectively bypass this. I just didn't want to post that on Twitter. I'd probably get suspended for hacking or something.

Huh, TIL. I think I actually don’t care about any of that except for the cert verification, which is a Big Deal. Thx for the reply!
Water alone doesn’t do a very good job of removing bacteria, or sweat, or dirt. Which is why we use soap in the first place. Your skin has oils on it that trap all of these things. Soap allows you to get much more off than water alone. This is also why soaps can result in dry skin.

If water alone did a good job of removing bacteria, then surgeons wouldn’t scrub with soap for 15 minutes.
> Who said they did nothing to stop it?

OK, I admit, I took the optimistic route. The pessimistic one would be they knew for months, they tried for months to stop it, and they failed, and they didn't tell anyone about it. That sounds even worse to me.

DNC is not government. At least not yet :)
I only mildly agree; because it is indeed possible to live a life of distraction and convenience. This is easily provable by by observing that there are people doing this already.

In my opinion most of the nihilism and despair stems from the fact that distraction and convenience, for all their superficial attractiveness, are the happiness equivalent of a Big Mac. It's a quick fix, but it does not last...
It's not even about the hotkeys. It is rather about the fact that you start thinking in terms of how the given code can be refactored with just a couple refactoring functions. Working in large codebases becomes extremely easy. Inline this method, extract that method, extract interface here, delete this interface and use this base class instead of that, extract a class from parameters of the method...I could go for days.

Market cap would be a reasonable measure for "biggest public company".

It's an awful measure for "biggest company", since private companies have no market cap. This was discussed a while ago in relation to Saudi Aramco's potential partial IPO. Saudi Aramco is huge, much bigger than Apple, with no market cap.
Zelle's biggest hurdle will be growing their community. Currently, there's insufficient feature differentiation from Venmo to warrant migration. None of my friends are on Zelle, so there's no reason for me to be.
I totally agree with you that the US is very self contained compared to many countries, though I wonder if that would also be true of the EU as a bloc. The graph you posted treats the US as one unit but each EU country as a separate unit. I think it EU/US or EU country/US state would be more comparable.

Generally by leveraging the fact that Facebook probably wants to remain on reasonable terms with most governments. Modulo appeals etc, once they've finally lost (provided that's the final decision), they'll probably just comply.

If they refuse, the government can seize any assets Facebook might hold in Belgium, possibly other EU countries, they could block or fine Belgian companies and individuals that do business with Facebook and such things, and escalate all the way to issuing warrants for Facebook executives' arrests, which with the European Arrest Warrant could be effectuated across the EU.

Right, but it's on a different set of claims, isn't it? I thought it was not a case brought under the NLRA.
Probably even less of a lawyer than you are, so thanks for that summary :)
I think in this case his criticism is merited. There is plenty of open data for street addresses available, and almost certainly already in osm. Instead of linking the most basic form of physical site identification -- which is basically a legal data set maintained by governments -- to their data import functionality/process, they just refuse data. Sounds off to me.
I don't think DNM's are the place to direct people experiencing severe depression. It's not only K they might find there. This directive is also potentially damaging to the above-ground progress advocates have been fighting so hard to achieve. I don't think I need to go into the safety issues around self-administration, either.
I have been using the 1.10 release candidate for a while, and I have been really appreciating the build caching. It makes running tests after a small change as much as 10x faster for me (especially on projects that import huge libraries, like the AWS library).

The quote you're responding to is also ~2,000 years old.
I could shower and soap everything quickly in a few minutes to, bit the GP comments were talking about taking 15 to 20 minutes to shower, which seems extremely long to me.

Nothing happens if I get soap elsewhere, I just don't intentionally soap outside those regions daily. In my experience arms, legs torso etc aren't particularly dirty on a daily basis and the skins seems more mostrurizied and healthy if I just use water on them. YMMV depending on skin type.
James Damore loses his case
in some other languages it's basically called that. "Informatik" in German. there's still the vestigial title in some department names in the US, "Department of Computer Science and Informatics".

I agree it would be a better name but I think the battle is lost, informatics now refers to an applied discipline (closely related to library science) involving building up big systems to store and organize data.
> Probably wrong: Expanding the scope of OpenStreetMap to include transient data. Too much other work to do, maybe later for this.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole domain, but if OSM would get layers, that would lead to better composability, then wouldn't the question of transient/frivolous data kinda become moot? The way I see it, in that scenario I could make and host my own whatever pokemon layer and OSM proper could provide the base layer, and then they could be easily merged at usage point; whereas based on the discussion now without layers you'd need to essentially make hard fork of the OSM data to make your own pokemon map?

Thanks for taking the time to write this out and give some background.
> It's ridiculous to expect newcomers to a language and/or programming in general to slog through a 20 or 30-step environment setup process.

It's ridiculous for anyone really. If you're not using something outside of the standard libraries, it's ludicrous to expect someone to slog through the manual setup process when they can double click an IDE icon and be ready to program in under a minute.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of those setup guides are for specific OSes and the author always seems to leave that part out. So you get to step fifteen and get a weird makefile error only to find out that that particular library is for another OS with no alternative for your own. This forces you to restart at square one with more potential added steps (eg virtual machine setup, OS setup, etc).
Could be. I know a lot of Mac owners who only ever do three things directly in OS X though: Run a web browser, use video conferencing software, and launch linux and BSD virtual machines.
I didn’t realize sites got paid for the facebook thumb. I just assumed that it mainly provided value for facebook and social media coordinators eager to show growth. I’m a little more sympathetic if the guardian actually gets something from the button.
I agree that it's harder to learn to program now than in 1982 (in terms of "hello world" level simple stuff - but not for advanced stuff), but I believe that it's way easier now than in 1992 or 2002.

AppleScript might be an exception in the 1992 case, but it was a fairly specialized case and only for Macs. Otherwise, today you can google stuff easily (vs needing books and such) and even Windows supports installing Linux tools out of the box.

The danger, though, is that in the future we could have fewer and fewer general-purpose computers -- iOS is not as dev friendly as OS X.

However, even on general-purpose computers, don't seem that interested in making it easier, which is sad from a professional pride point of view if nothing else. I set up Android Studio on Linux recently. It wasn't terrible, but even that wasn't a seamless experience - the emulator stuff had a few problems, including included libs that were incompatible with Intel graphics drivers, that I had to work around.

Any time you join a company and have to browse a long dev environment setup wiki or readme, you've seen us all fail. We're bandaging it as fast as we can with stuff like Docker, but that's just delaying the problem until you have to debug your container in prod. ;)
Wow, this is awesome!

Generally, with git through http, it is able to prompt you for your github password, but with 2FA, it is not. You have to use an SSH key.
This specifically targets US I believe, it is desgined to add cost and barrier to US companies to operate in EU. I see this as an evidence that EU no longer trust US to reign its own market and will happily initiate their own internal replacements.

Trump, of course won't like it, but with his American First philosophy, he has no argument if others follow his lead to put their own interests first.
I agree with you that people are unfairly impacted by such practices; the whole thing even discourages some people from producing things.

Again, I was arguing against the claim it was without merit. A large team of people could have made the same mistake.

Why not? You can use these shortcuts across OS X. That includes your web browser and any other GUI you have on your machine (I use them heavily in notational velocity).

I am sure that US will have their counterpart to GDPR at some point. US has HIPAA and FERPA which protect privacy in healthcare education very well.
I think you are trying to make some good points, but your language could have been clearer. If I'm understanding correctly you mean:

1. Treat Computer Science (CS) as a specific field, and don't dilute the curriculum with related items.
2. Introduce a course that covers these broader, non-CS items, and actually push it out beyond the audience of CS?

Did I get that right?

I think you might have meant the term "informatics" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informatics). Depending on your position CS is either subordinate, equal, or above informatics. I have a degree from a UK university and there is a much wider spectrum degree types in this field than exist here in the US where I now live.

I'm conflicted on the original post that elicited your response. I have that background where I inherited a broken PC, a bunch of floppy disks, and some manuals. In some ways this gives me an advantage, especially given that I'm comfortable being dropped into a messy project or some problem that is debugged. I've seen lots of folks who can't handle this, but can churn out code on to need more support around the edges.

I now see more and more folks attempting things like devops and at least being able to learn some of these skills later on. I think where it stands me in better stead is problem avoidance, but even that is subjective.
I assume so. I read the civil complaint (I actually know his lawyer pretty well) but 1.) I'm not a lawyer myself and 2.) I haven't really studied the legal case in any depth.
If it's to their advantage, it will happen. See the AV1 codec, which Apple joined along with other industry giants as an alternative to patent-encumbered video codecs.
Yeah, I don't see that. If you're an employee of a company (not least one who's paying you a very fat salary) there is an expectation that you will do work that benefits the company's bottom line. If that happens to be aligned with the "greater good" then OK, but there is no such guarantee- and if it isn't... well then your research will only benefit the company.

Zelle is basically a thin wrapper over ACH transactions. In fact, my understanding is that Zelle is basically just "One-day ACH". I never really considered the fraud aspects, but clearly a modern payment processor needs to have a proper escrow involved somehow. ACH and Zelle don't look like they'd do the trick.

Dwolla was a good middleman for this sort of thing, but it seems like Dwolla pivoted to different services unfortunately.

Overall, this is why the USA has credit cards. A Credit Card company is the middle-man that you trust to handle these issues.

Dumb question, is it a 'risk' to leave the code in your profile? As in someone could crawl profiles looking for Kismet codes and then altering random people's profiles. If so, maybe it would be worth it to add text suggesting that people remove the code from their profile after verification is complete? Cheers
> Water alone doesn’t do a very good job of removing sweat

Citation needed? Sweat is mostly water and trace amount of salt. It dissolves easily in water.

> Water alone doesn’t do a very good job of removing bacteria or dirt

We agree here! (With some qualified reservations about what the subjective "very good" means, and how necessary it is for body washing applications.)

Water does a reasonable job of removing bacteria -- handwashing studies show this. It's a lot better than nothing. Yes, water combined with soap does a better job.

> If water alone did a good job of removing bacteria, then surgeons wouldn’t scrub with soap for 15 minutes.

The topic under discussion is body soaps, not handwashing.

I would always suggest washing your hands with soap! You use your hands to prepare food and touch mucus membranes. The same is not true of, say, your armpits.

(Going off into the weeds here, but: surgeons do not scrub for 15 minutes. That would destroy their skin and increase risk of transferring disease. Timed scrubs are 3-5 minutes. And they certainly do not perform surgery with their armpits.)
I've had many a walk through the neighborhood spoiled by one household doing the laundry, and using Downy or some other fabric softener. It stinks up the whole neighborhood. Not to mention the scent overload when people wear clothes treated this way to work.

Just use white vinegar instead - it works and doesn't cause all the pollution.

Even assuming the product is safe, using darknet markets also has legal issues. (I don't agree that it should, but it does.) "Overpaying" $380 to be administered a known safe dose of ketamine in a place surrounded by medical professionals and know you're in the clear legally sure sounds like a fair deal to me when the alternative could end up involving an arrest record and possible prison time, even if everything involved with self-dosing goes just fine.

I suppose he could have ignored the question of the distribution of men and the distribution of women, and just focused on his suggestions on how to make a more productive and enjoyable situation for more "agreeable" (that's a technical term) personality types.

But this is all in context of Google's focus on trying to improve the gender disparity, and his memo is directly in reference to that, if one would only accept his claims about the different genders' distributions. But merely making these claims is deemed unacceptable. Google can make whatever claims they want, but his hands are tied if he wants to make these suggestions.

All of this is basically to imply that a set of beliefs that a lot of people have (conservatives, mainstream psychologists(!!!)) is basically beyond the pale, and it seems like a troubling situation to me.

Please let me know if I misunderstood something here.
