Indeed, this is painful. Plus that lifetimes tend to percolate through the codebase. This is logical and necessary, if a struct is bound to a lifetime, then another struct holding this struct is also bound to that lifetime. It can be painful regardless ;).
Hi jf, I missed you facebook. :)
Simply put, the harder it is to fire someone, the harder it will be to get a job.
Ownership in that sense is contingent on there being a physical object that is expensive to reproduce. The only way of mimicking that for ebooks is DRM.
Of course, the same person tweeted immediately after that, replying to the tweet you quote:

"I am also 100% positive that Facebook activity recruits and staffs people that are on the other side."
They will, if your OPSEC is weak.
That's worse, not better

Because then they only have to follow UKs laws (once this happens, of course)
I don't work at FB and I don't have their shares either . But to me this is looking like punishment beating because it is linked to Trump victory at the polls. We all know that FB is in the business of selling data in one form or other. And we also know that FB is human and is subjected errors and mistakes.
But deleting FB , leaving FB , pulling adverts from FB may not change the fundamental.
No they don't. If they need it their business is terrible and should not exist. I live in the Netherlands and our restaurants do just fine without being allowed to fire at will and without the need for tips to give employees a decent wage. It's called sane labor laws.
The thing is that once you get to criminal charges, everyone is looking out just for his own head. The IT guy who will be asked to delete files couldn’t be gotten on election tampering, so he’s not going to commit obstruction of justice. And if you delete files such that the files are gone but the fact that you deleted them remains, then the government can implicate you for literally anything, so unless it was the worst of the worst crimes like child sex trafficking you’re probably better off pleading guilty to the offense.
Every time there is an unpopular bill they cannot get passed but their financial backers do shit like this happens. They keep trying to pass variations of it in various shady ways until compassion fatigue sets in.

Like Manhattan, Seattle and San Francisco are extremely expensive for housing because the cities are surrounded by water. Hence, they have no place to expand the housing supply. Austin sits in the middle of a prairie, so there is plenty of room to grow, keeping prices reasonable.

Power wanted "net neutrality". It's a stepping stone to the same ends, more rules regulating the internet. Once you convince people it should be regulated, the sky is the limit. Standard incrementalism tactic. I mean... who likes "hate speech" anyway?

Vec may have examples, but lots and lots of other pages don't, and people learn by example. Python library writers add documentation similar to what they're familiar with. Rust library writers are going to document in a way that resembles typical Rust documentation.

That's why I was careful to call it different, not bad. Coming from Python it's a culture shock. They are very different ways of handling documentation, and I take into account the docs are under construction. I'll try to get more used to it, see how it develops, and then form an opinion. So far Rust docs are awkward to use for me.

My favorite website is this: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-reform/...

They have explained GDPR in reasonably everyday language, with checklists and examples. That site should be your first choice.

If you are a developer, you should check https://github.com/gdprhq/GdprHq.Io.ClientSdk - you can find interfaces and default implementations. For example, to implement the right to erasure (to be forgotten) in your app, you'll need to erase personal data and to inform an individual that you've done so. Even though actual erasure might be tricky, at least you know what you need to implement to be compliant.
However, note that having the app GDPR compliant isn't the same as having the business compliant; primarily, GDPR is a set of rules and processes that apply to organizations.

C related improvements will only be done to the extent required by ANSI C++, or requests from key customers that might influence roadmap.

Anyone that really deeply wants to keep using C on Windows, and even enjoys using COM directly from C (the main ABI since Windows 7 and UWP core stack), can use any other C compiler.

In fact Microsoft has suggested clang multiple times, and has helped clang devs to make it work better on Windows.
Just finished a rough draft of a long article on CRDTs, together with demo code of real-time collaboration on iOS (over CloudKit) and macOS (over a simulated P2P network): http://archagon.net/blog/2018/03/24/data-laced-with-history/

I think this new operational take on CRDTs (which is not my original idea) has the potential to be quite revolutionary, combining all the benefits of CvRDTs and CmRDTs and allowing brand new replicated data types to be created rather intuitively—all while maintaining near-optimal time and space complexity and providing a common interface for things like past revision viewing and garbage collection.

Hope to publish the article for real in the next few days.

Its probably safe to assume that the person you're recommending this to has absolutely no idea about the general concepts of software development, or the rough orders of magnitude of information that is reasonable to store and serve with modern infrastructure available to nearly any small business.

Its reminiscent of the willful ignorance displayed by the Cuyahoga County Recorders Office, in Ohio. The office responded to FOIA requests by demanding $2 per photocopy, even though the documents were already stored on CDs. They hoped they could simply make freedom of information too expensive. Their legal argument was that the files could be semantically thought of as photocopies of the documents.

Here's a verbatim reenactment of a deposition in the case where a county employee puts on a charade of not knowing that a photocopier is.

I just drove that stretch of road twice. I had no trouble seeing any portion of the road where the pedestrian was crossing, from easily 100 yards away. This human could have stopped. My assessment is that the majority of human drivers in AZ could have also.
I already does not use facebook and the likes. For me, I had a similar feeling after I blocked reddit/hn domains.

>I hope this platform dies, rather quickly. Because it harms society and individuals more than we are aware of.

Reddit/HN are places where places that can make you feel like you are doing something or "contributing", without actually making any real impact. A feeling similar to the the illusionary feeling thing you refer in your comment. On one had, it helps individuals to grow and on the other, it restricts their actions to an isolated chamber where the real world remain safe from their thoughts/questions.

So I think, after a certain point. You should forcefully disconnect/distance yourself from these platform, and start to engage in more real world activities. For ex, write a blog, write actual newspaper articles. Send your thoughts to actual news papers for them to publish in such sections, engage in local activities and discussion Etc.

An example of this is that when we came to know about the testing of self driving vehicles happening, many of the people here might have asked "What are the tests there were done before these vehicles are put on road"? Is there any legal groundwork in place?

But those questions remained safely in the realm of the HN servers as some binary pattern in a Hard disk platter. They didn't get out it the real world. They didn't get translated into real question to real authorities.
I don't think the issue is Chinese culture, but it is Chinese leadership--which, admittedly, has encouraged and created a culture of concerning nationalism and subservience to authoritarians with no respect for human rights or rule of law.

If you look back in contemporary Chinese history, there are several episodes where influential groups were openly supporting a more democratic society.

It wasn't Chinese culture that stopped them. It was Mao, the CCP, the tanks in Tienamen Square, and the more recently the ubiquitous propaganda and censorship.

I agree that the CCP is an enemy we should we wary of. But we should be just as wary of writing off any large group of fellow humans as enemies. The enemy is the brainwashers themselves, not their victims.
The latest top end Toyota Rav4’s have that too. It’s quite amazing how well they are able to keep cruise control and maintain distance behind a car.

No it’s the other way around. Net neutrality is itself a regulation. Removing the government regulation turns it into a Wild West with less rules and allows other powers to slap us around.

Same here. I used to use Python for small one-off scripts, but I now primarily use Rust. I can write Rust nearly as fast as Python and Go now, plus there are a lot of useful crates for the type of command-line utilities that I write.

For me the benefit is that a Rust utility usually works when it compiles, plus I can easily deploy the binaries on other machines (without going through another pyenv/pip dance).

To give an example: I work a lot with dependency treebanks on CoNLL-X format. Over my past to years with Rust, I have accumulated a bunch of utilities for doing things like paritioning data, merging treebanks, shuffling treebanks, extracting forms/lemmas, checking for cycling graphs, etc. I use them nearly daily:

Encryption in a post-quantum world – ITProPortal
Cobol has all of C's memory pitfalls, and a few extra. It can be truly painful.

A lot of dev's avoid dynamic allocation altogether, because of the issues you can face:

* Integer overflow

* Buffer overflow

* Free does not mean freed memory. It means freed memory at some point in the future.

If you want something safe, time-tested and performant for business logic, then something like Ada would be a better fit.

If you don't mind the safety problems, then just about nothing beats out FORTRAN in the numbers game. (Though the memory pitfalls are huge). It was one of COBOL's main competitors, and half of the world's banking infrastructure still runs on it.
"Net neutrality is itself a regulation"

Correct, that's exactly what I said. NN is gov enforced regs. This thread is about bad _gov_ regulation. Companies cant make or enforce law. Gov can. Gov is therefore much more powerful, as we see here. You can leave FB, you cant leave your gov (well... easily).

Oh my gosh I'm terribly sorry, I totally misinterpreted what you meant. 90k post-tax before saving for college/retirement sounds, sadly, very right for Seattle today-- since your model uses 2012 housing prices, I'm not sure I even want to think about what it would be using 2018 housing prices.

However, the exercise of calculating those numbers out was still very interesting -- particularly the fact that I pay close to 2x the taxes of a Seattle-ite as a New Yorker. Holy cow, state and local taxes take a huge chunk out of my pay. I really wonder what NYS/NYC do with those taxes... but perhaps more importantly, how does Seattle get by without state/local taxes? Who pays for public transit subsidies? I guess it must come from property taxes? Boy I wish NYC charged more property taxes, especially since metropolis properties are largely owned by the very, very rich and even with a respectable tech salary I'll likely never own property in the city ever.

Consensus for every computation would be 2x as expensive, but you may be able to achieve something like it with randomly assigning 10% of the calculations to be double-checked, and double=checking more (all?) of a node's computations if it has an inconsistent result.

Anyway, yeah, that's insane. Even Google, who constantly shuts stuff down, usually does so with way more heads up. For comparison, Google Reader, a completely free service, shut down with 3.5 months advance notice. Google Wave got almost 6 months notice.
The Python criticism I heard is that it makes it harder for library writers because they have to dive into source code. But here's the thing, when using a dynamic language with duck typing you don't really care what type specifically something is, only that you can iterate over it. I experienced the difference when porting someone's Python application to Rust. In Python, I didn't care what type the argument is, only what operations are performed. When writing the Rust equivalent, the Rust compiler was quick to complain it wanted to know the exact type.

So I think Python docs are good for dynamic languages, while Rust documentation pleases people used to static languages.
What exactly is docker cloud and how does it fit in the docker workflow?
100k euros would be ~$124k. At that salary if you are single your marginal tax rate would be 28% federal + 6.2% employee social security + 6.2% employer social security + 1.45% employee medicare + 1.45% employer medicare + 9.3% California income + 0.9% California disability insurance = 53.5%. This doesn't include unemployment taxes (California or federal) which might be another 0.3-0.5%. Though for real math, the employer paid taxes should increase the denominator when calculating rate. This number includes employer-paid taxes, but you were doing the same.

Of course effective tax rate is much lower than marginal tax rate. Effective federal income tax would be 17.1%, effective California income tax would be 6.9%. This would make effective total tax 40.2% (it was 42.6% in 2017, before Trump's tax cuts).

It certainly makes me rethink if docker services should be relied on in production.

Migrating off docker cloud will be a pain, but the service was already a pain to use, so maybe it's about time anyways.

But imagine being given 2 months to migrate off docker hub for image storage. Panic would ensue :)
Given the time it takes to migrate the production stack to another system (one or more months), this won't be enough time for many users to migrate. There is no drop-in replacement. It is pretty abrupt of them to give a 60 day notice.

On a meta thought, I wonder what potentially caused this move. It is/was a pretty decent service.
You are right about lack of observability tools for AWS Lambda. Thundra was born because of same maddening at our side. You have very solid questions that we are enthusiastic to tell more and more:

1) Automatic instrumentation is what creates no code change. Once you add Thundra to your environment variables, you can change the monitoring settings with annotation or additional environment variables with no code change for Java. For Node.js and Go, You simply wrap your functions with our agents. With manual instrumentation on the other hand, you can also add code blocks to inspect your variables.

You can check our codes here: https://github.com/thundra-io. We are open to share more, if you want any further questions.

2) Zero overhead is one of other strong points of us. You need to switch to async. monitoring for this. This means you need to add "our" lambda to your environment variables (Please check for it: https://github.com/thundra-io/serverless-plugin-thundra-moni...). Then this lambda sends logs of your function to us. Overhead of sending and retrying for failed logs will not happen. Only overhead can occur because of make your code to gather more logs for our lambda to read. But this is truly negligible.
I'm not laughing. I'm seriously confused as to why I'm supposed to be offended at the prospect of becoming mexican. Is that supposed to be lower status or something? I can't think of a reason here that would be offensive which doesn't boil down to underlying racism or anachronistic nationalism.

Keep voting for tax-and-spend politicians, and sky is the limit in terms of taxes. There are always creative ways to piss money away.

But to emphasize once again, this is upper middle class, with very little compromise. Not everyone has to live like this. Not everyone has to pay $10k/yr in property taxes or spend $2k/mo on food, or budget $1500/mo in health insurance/out of pocket costs. We factored in inviting people over, etc. Basically little to no change in lifestyle.

People, yours truly included, seem a bit concerned with the 2 months notice.

To be fair docker cloud was never great and hopefully it doesn't have many big customers...

But the precedence of shutting down a paid service with 2 months notice is not nice. What would happen if this was docker hub? Panic!

If he simply ignores everything he doesn't like about the thinkers he writes about, his book is useless. His earlier book, Better Angels Of Our Nature, was also terribly wrong in presenting the hunter-gatherer state of humans as being much more violent than archeologists and anthropologists think, just to present his case that civilization is a good thing. So I don't have much faith in this book, as he clearly starts with a certain idea (civilization is needed because the human being is inherently violent) and looks for arguments to support it instead of the other way around. He should probably stick to his own field of psychology.
