> For one of the software projects I'm involved in, I have more complex needs. We release binaries for multiple platforms so our Jenkins master delegates certain tasks to slaves running on specific OSes. Then at the end the Jenkins master downloads the built artifacts from all slaves and publishes everything to our artifact hosting server. As far as I can tell, Gitlab CI does not support this.

GitLab CI/CD can certainly run jobs on different OSes, then have a final job consolidate those artifacts and publish to an artifact server. What part can't GitLab do?

> In future CI jobs I may even require user interaction, e.g. I may ask a human to sign off a report. I don't think Gitlab CI can do this.

GitLab CI/CD has manual jobs so a pipeline can wait for human sign off before proceeding.
Under the right circumstances, a lookup table could be worse. In a simple interpreter, I would hate to pass down a vector of pairs for the environment representation; it would have to be wholly duplicated to extend the environment.

These numbers seem low, based on both anecdotal evidence, and compared to Hired's 2018 tech salaries map: https://hired.com/state-of-salaries-2018
Reapplying and matching the original tickets covering well enough is probably pretty hard to do and would probably require a larger investment into the materials and equipment.
I started freelancing on the side for about a year or two. Once it started to gain some momentum and be more predictable, I officially made an LLC and website and started devoting more time to it.
Only in the absolute sense. You cannot provide canonically that an unobserved event happened or didn't happen.

That's why we have an investigative process. The investigator or auditor looks at patterns and notices that a guy wins the lottery multiple times. Then you dig and notice that the guy buys or claims tickets at a single or small collection of retailers. Then you dig and find out that there are personal relationships between the "winner" and the people in the store.

At that point, there are options:

- The lottery can amend it's regulations and review how the games work and make appropriate changes.

- The lottery can investigate the retailer and take action against the retailer's license to sell tickets. Typically the lottery has broad discretion to take action there with a legal standard that has a low bar.

- The lottery can pursue a civil action against the retailer or "winner". Civil actions require a jury to meet a preponderance of evidence standard.

- The police or IG can pursue a criminal case, with a high standard.

Standing reminder that friends don't let friends use DNSSEC, because it is crazy and provides no real security. With that in mind, it's fun to dive in and see where the problems are ...

Fundamentally this DANE idea swaps out the problems of a PKI CA hierarchy, the kind your browser is using when you actually log into gmail to read and send your e-mail, with the problems of DNSSEC.

The biggest problems with PKI are that there are too many CAs, who can each go rogue, and that X509 is a horrifically awful format that takes a gigantic TCB to parse. Mitigations include browsers firing CAs and severely impacting their business (so effectively, there is regulation), certificate transparency and more and more testing. Either way you pretty much have to deal with these problems today though, an awful lot of e-mail is sent/received over HTTPS.

The biggest problems with DNSSEC are that DNSSEC doesn't actually protect DNS queries at their most vulnerable points, that you have to trust your TLD provider, and the root operators completely, with no effective means to fire them, and finally that they almost certainly are using embarrassingly stupid crypto that even most ICOs could avoid. This very deck has several 1024-bit RSA keys, right there on a slide with a February 2018 timestamp, as if it's not an incredibly obviously stupid thing to do since the LogJam paper was published, or you know, when everyone stopped using them for TLS years ago.

Actually wait, there's even a 512-bit key on another slide, using alg-5. That's RSA + SHA1!! What's the point of using all of those SHA256 MACs at the TLS Layer if everything depends on utterly breakable RSA plus SHA1 anyway? It's hard to take this seriously.

PS. Yes, this is also my best impression of tptacek
You're right about this. There is a market for buying winning lottery tickets for more than their face value. Wonder why...
>That's a rather boutique definition of physicalism... make no reference at all to the brain.

Perhaps my definition was too on the nose. Going by the SEP: "Physicalism is the thesis that everything is physical, or as contemporary philosophers sometimes put it, that everything supervenes on the physical". Supervenes on the physical, at least in the context of consciousness, implies substance independence of consciousness. Chalmers depends on this understanding in his zombie argument.

Just to belabor the point, we can posit some property of physical matter that entails conscious experience only in certain kinds of physical processes (say in biological brains but not in microchips). This difference-making property's actions either are or are not mediated through physical interactions. If it is mediated through physical interactions, then we can include those interactions in the simulation, thus the property obtains in microchips, contradicting the premise. If it is not mediated through physical interactions, then by definition it's mode of influence is non-physical. But this contradicts the premise that "everything [including the mind] supervenes on the physical" (i.e. we have a change in consciousness but no change in physical properties).

Chalmers cashes out such a difference-making property of physical matter as his microphenomenal properties in panpsychism. But importantly, this isn't Physicalism (his zombie argument is specifically against Physicalism). He argues for an expanded notion of the physical world that includes microphenomenal properties at the base. Just to tie all this back to Searle, from this discussion it seems clear that Searle cannot be a physicalist under this understanding.

>I don't really understand your last paragraph. As far as I can tell, you don't think we should start with the assumption that people feel pain, but only with the assumption that it seems to people that they feel pain.

I agree that people feel pain. The problem is that there is some ambiguity in common usage that can mislead and confuse the issue. For example, if I stub my toe and I shout ouch, you would say that I'm in pain. But in the context of philosophy of mind, we can't assume that from only outward appearances. So my characterization is an effort to shed all possibility of misunderstanding by zeroing in on the phenomenal character of the thing, as well as the only indisputable statement of fact that describes our relationship to the phenomenal character.

So in this case "I am in pain" is operationalized as "It seems that [pain quale]". The "it seems that..." is important because we cannot be mistaken about seemings, i.e. it is not possible that an evil demon or simulation can trick us into thinking something seems a certain way while not being the case that it seems that way. But once phenomenal consciousness is operationalized as such, it becomes clear that functional explanations cannot be ruled out simply by definition.
It can't necessarily be undone, but if you're among the people who is skeeved out by surveillance capitalism, you can at least try to reduce future level of exposure going forward.

Also, if you're worried about the long-term psychological impact of social media, with all its dark patterns designed to get you to spend more and more time distracted by their sites and apps, then all you really have to do there is switch the distractions off. Deleting one's Facebook account isn't the only way to do that, but it's certainly an effective option.
I deleted my Facebook account in 2012. Haven't missed it. Let's hope this poor soul can finally be brave enough to find the close account button. Might not even need to write a script to do that.
Hey folks, John Biggs here. I wrote this as a reaction to reason news and it comes at the end of a slow boil. I think we can make better tools than this one and I believe Facebook - and other social media - were originally quite useful and have now devolved due to market pressure. I'm definitely a hypocrite, as well. I still use most things to _broadcast_ not communicate and that's primarily because I've spent 20 years journalizing and am used to the constant, one-sided flow of information.
That said I deleted all social apps except for Twitter and, for some masochistic reason, LinkedIn and am ready to tear it all out of my life step by step. It's a poison.
>but it’s not a good habit

Being able to get things done is a good habit.

There's of course a balance somewhere in the middle, but doing 50 projects in 50 days and having to work quick and write code that "works" is certainly a valuable skill.
I missed that. Loan debt and utilities can cut into that a good bit, though I wouldn't expect that to be poverty level after rent is paid.
Actually it probably means salary + RSUs, which are generally substantial for FANG-type jobs. If you're only looking at salary, you're missing half the picture.
Why does a CSS library need Make, Node AND Python to build?
Yeah, I'd go further and say that preferences only should come into play early in a project when you're deciding on what the style of the project should be. For most of the lifetime of a project, writing in a style that is uniform with the rest of the codebase should come before your personal style.
Are most of these multiple winnners anonymous? I see quite a few names mentioned in the article. Besides, the anonymous thing only matters to giant wins, like the recent case of nearly half a billion dollars. I’d guess the scrutiny there is orders of magnitude greater than a 5 digit winner.
I started freelancing 5-6 years ago, doing copywriting projects mostly. Website copy, monthly blog posts, that kind of stuff.

After a few months I realized that none of the clients I was working with had an actual digital marketing plan in place; they were just farming out copy projects because they "knew the needed to have a blog."

I pitched all of my existing clients and spent the next year building up a side roster of additional clients who relied on me for their digital marketing strategy, copy, and social media management. This pivot away from being just copy-based to strategy and execution/management earned me enough recurring monthly revenue that I was making more from my side project than my 9-5, so I quit.

I've been running my company, Starling Social (https://www.starling.social) for just shy of three years now. I have a Copywriter, an Account Manager, and it's looking like I'll need to hire an Ads Specialist in the not-too-distant future. Life is pretty great.
How to use data to grow your business
Actually, the takeaway is not about updates. Because the problem is actual intended functionality, that is "misused" for other purposes: indirect function calls.

So, the takeaway would be to control, which functionality is needed and which not, then to take action accordingly.

Amazon Hiring Taha Kass-Hout, Former FDA CTO
I didn't say it introduces confusion. It's clear that the high-heeled shoes are meant to represent women and the mustache is meant to represent men.

I merely noted that it seemed strange, because although both of those attributes are associated with a particular gender, in reality each represent only a minority of people.

For instance, among my co-workers, only a minority of women regularly wear high-heeled shoes, and only a minority of men have mustaches.

It would be similarly weird if women were represented by Virginia Slims cigarettes and men as Montecristo cigars. Yes, more women than men smoke Virginia Slims, and more men than women smoke Montecristos, so each is identifiable with a specific gender. But my point is, most people don't smoke!
Those number are way off for the greater Seattle area. $70k is what university students make their first year if they interview well and have had an internship/summer job before graduating. You factor in contracting rates for folks with 10+ years experience and principle salaries at Microsoft, Amazon and local Google/Facebook expansion offices and you start moving strongly into the $200k/year + stock & benefits neighborhood (assuming you can stomach the political bullshit, that is...).

Because it very likely won't be there anymore. Your grandparents had full control over their photo albums. You have nothing.

> Op dates users freely gave away their data, but now advertisers are stealing it? The same sentence can be said about the internet as a whole - but most people believe the benefits are worth it

Most people don't grasp the _extend_ of what they give to the advertisers. Not even in the slightest way. They still think that as long as they don't fill out a questionnaire, "they" won't know. Or what I give to Facebook, stays with Facebook and so on.

> Lots of people believe that to be true, but I don't think you can just call advertisers "the devil" without an explanation.

Their sneaky methods, lack of information and the whole attention stealing industry it is, is bad. Just the basic normal ad on the street is already exploiting us. The digital versions are even able to infect our tools. It's an uncontrolled mess. An anarchy of people who don't give a damn because they can. We'll never know the full extend of misuse happening with our data on daily bases. I don't see a reason to trust them. Do you?
Jacksonville’18 ISO C++ Report
I wouldn't be so sure. If data is partitioned on stock symbols, then there is already a grouping by subset happening at the partition level, which may considerably ease the job of aggregation (it depends on the number of symbols and it seems you have about 1500-1600).
Considering there is a clustered index, it means values are saved "in order". Then, a page could easily have a min value = max value situation, and the saved count in meta-data would be valid (no need to scan all values in the page again). Should the index use a dictionary, then one only has to count the number of items in the corresponding entry without scanning the rows. Such information is stored in the index, not in the rows.
I have no doubt about one's intention. It's just that I think we could do better to support the claim. If your where clause contained something like (shares mod 3) = 0, then I would be pretty sure all rows would be scanned, because such information is not aggregated at the page level.
If possible, I would also check the execution plan for any incongruent values.
That's not the point. No one was confused.

Heels are a controversial thing in the work place. Some people see them as a symbol of oppression for women because they are uncomfortable and serve little purpose but to make women taller and their legs look longer (which to many people translates to sexier).

On the flip side. In past history men have worn high heels too. And some feminists see them as a symbol of empowerment.

There have been more than a few controversies over workplaces forcing woman to wear hears. Especially on jobs where they are on their feet all day like retail.

In any case, not the best choice of a symbol.
It shouldn't be anonymous to the state, but this isn't a great reason to publish their names.
Assuming that the world exists roughly as we understand it and is coherent and rational, evidence reflects the state of the world. There cannot be strong evidence both for and against something, because all evidence is derived from the same, single, truthful state of the universe. You're misinterpreting one (or both!) pieces of evidence - maybe they're actually weak pieces of evidence, or you're mistaken about one (or both) of them.

The idea that the world is inexplicable by evidence and you must make irrational choices to satisfy your own desire for an explanation is contrary to both science and religion.

This is all before you get to Bayes - this is just about understanding the nature of the world and the nature of evidence and experience.
Yes, it attempts to detect the language/framework, and build it. It doesn't work for all languages, and is based on Heroku buildpacks so has similar limitations. If autodetect fails, but some Heroku buildpack would work, you can specify it manually. Or, just include a Dockerfile and it'll build that instead.
The Paragon closure has come with a surprising number of upsides compared to the usual collapse of a game. I really wish more companies opened up their assets (or even the game code) upon the closure of a game they've written off.

The other highlight note is that when Epic decided to shutdown Paragon, they opened up the refund offer for all purchases, not just really recent ones. They've taken essentially a complete loss on this entire project, that I believe had upwards of 100 developers working on it at one point.

But given Fortnite's success, plus the general solid padding of cash Epic always gets from having one of the most popular game engines that everyone else uses, means they can afford it.

The difference is the monopolistic element. Apple didn't get screwed for bundling Safari with Mac OS because it isn't a monopoly. Microsoft did get screwed for bundling IE because they are. In the same way if you subscribe to the view that Google has a monopoly on search, then it's anti-competitive to use their monopolistic position in search to enter online retail.
Indeed, the reasons to dump Google just keep on mounting. A pet peeve of mine is how they keep making harder and harder to tell what's actual search results and what's google ads. For this reason I actually prefer duckduckgo.com/lite. Check it out, great contrast on ads.

I still don't understand.

Winners can be investigated where it may be found out that they colluded with someone in the lottery bureau, used a pin and magnifying glass to peek in scratch offs at the 7/11 they work at, etc. The article enumerates these.

If they didn't cheat at all or just cheated very well, then of course nothing can be determined. Just like any other crime. But that's not very insightful. There are unsolved murder mysteries.

Sheer desperation on Google’s part. Customers with an intent to buy simply search directly on Amazon as first choice. You only go to an external search engine if Amazon don’t have it and then what does Amazon care if you buy elsewhere?

And this undermines trust in Google’s results, it’s hard to see why this makes sense for them. It’s not like these products are big money spinners for Google anyway. They’re just loss-leaders to sell more ads.
Nice. I bet this is going to encourage more asset flips though.
