That's not quite accurate. They take it into account for future stock grants. If the stock does well, you won't get more for the given year, but you will still get a raise.
I used to be part of a collaboration at a particle accelerator called RHIC. It was the most powerful accelerator of it's type before the LHC was built, and a lot of really great research was done there. One year, the budget got slashed and there just wasn't enough funding for it to operate. Simons donated a massive amount of his own money, and organized fundraising from other sources, both of which played central roles in the experiments being able to continue on with their research. There's now a road inside of Brookhaven National Lab called "Renaissance" in honor of him to celebrate his contributions. It's actually pretty sad that it was necessary for something like that to happen, but it certainly speaks volumes about Simons.
And this is why an expert propagandist understands that you don't need to prove anything. You just say it (preferably with some emotionally-wrapped slogan), and three to ten years later, people will simply recite what you've said as though it is fact.

Of course, you can pad it in weasel words and boring facts. Nobody will remember those parts of the message anyway.
My working code beats your ideological purity.
Microsoft ditched individual offices starting in 2014. At least half of the Redmond campus is in “team rooms” now - with mixed results.
this is a comparison between two things you'd use if you want to eliminate single points of failure. "you can do better if you're willing to tolerate a single point of failure!" is, uh, apples to oranges, at best? note the section comparing availability.

(i feel there is also something to be said for being able to get lots of transactions out of more, but less expensive machines. the world is full of people working under a variety of constraints.)
This, in my opinion, is a little harsh.
ZFS’ deduplication does not require the deduplication table be held in RAM. Hoewever, the performance is IOPS bound. The only way to improve on that is to keep it in RAM or have a very fast L2ARC. Many modifications also require quite a large number of writes, which also slows things down.

My point is that the system will not stop working if the DDT is not in cache. It would still run, but it would not be fast.
That's more or less it. There are training sessions you can take where people who are good writers, teach you how to be a better writer. And the meetings, since they revolve around the narratives, involve getting constructive feedback on your writing besides simply getting feedback on your design.
> A five year old OptiPlex SFF PC

This is more what I'm talking about; I needed a faster option with much more RAM and a proper SATA SSD for one project. I bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre for about $80, put in a small SSD I had on hand, upgraded the RAM to 8 GB for $20 (one 4GB stick on eBay), and had an i5 with about 100x better overall performance than a Pi 3 B+ (and maybe 10x more power consumption, so not a bad tradeoff). All-in $100 for me, though if you didn't have an SSD you can pick one up for $35-45 if you just need 32 or 64 GB.

Basically, once you hit the $100 threshold, you have to really ask if an SBC is the right solution—unless you really, really need the small footprint. And if you need I/O for project stuff, an Arduino or similar project board is only a few bucks more and connects via USB.
RPi is garbage hardware propped up by overcompensated OS support. Sooner or later you regret putting the effort in because it's just mediocre at everything.

So not sure what you define as experienced (2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years?) but a 5 years of experience SDE at Amazon may make that in salary, but their total compensation will be quite a bit more than that.
For v8, doesn’t a try/catch block defeat inlining? It used to, but that was a long time ago.
I hope you don't consider my reply irrelevant, but I use mutt. It's roughly similar: fast, efficient, terminal-based. GUI mail readers are simply not capable of doing what I want. Also, with mutt, I can parcel out tasks such as spam filtering and searching to dedicated programs designed for those purposes.

What do you mean "contagion"?
Came here looking to see if someone had already posted about this. Not surprised someone else was aware of it.

This is absolutely worth a read, and the less than 5 minutes to watch the video.

I'm not sure what the "Structural Blue Edition" cost (my guess is the range of $10K - $30K premium), but it's still far from the most expensive car paint jobs -- Porsche's "Liquid Metal Silver" for the 918 Spyder (created by BASF) was a $64,000 option (where the aluminum flakes arrange themselves in a specific way during application), yet there's been crazier stuff offered than that.

Block device based replication for Postgres seems a bit unconventional given that Postgres has native synchronous replication support with WAL streaming.

Intuition tells me that you might get better performance if you let the DB itself do the replication but I can't really justify that without real review of what happens.

The postgres docs (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/different-replicat...) say that the WAL solution has no "Master server overhead" in contrast to the File System Replication solution, but it's not explained and I'm not sure what is meant by that.

I guess with a block device based solution, recovery takes longer, because failover entails you have to actually mount the block device (as no 2 machines can mount it rw at the same time), and then start the DB (or in a more basic implementation, just boot the entire second machine as part of failover), while with WAL streaming both postgres instances would already be running? Wo failover would be faster with WAL streaming?

I would be great if somebody from GCP could elaborate what the tradeoffs here are, how long failover takes, and whether we can expect similar performance and behaviour as with WAL shipping.
If you print out FB’s T&C’s, plus all of the layers of embedded links within links, it’s 87,000+ words. That is designed to be unreadable and incomprehensible, it’s an attempt to baffle. Even stupid people, illiterate people, and just plain lazy people don’t deserve to be taken advantage of.

If you want to talk about what people “should” know, there’s s reasonable man statute, and it definitely doesn’t include what you’re describing.

Try getting Figwheel to work with Emacs CIDER and Spacemacs. It's a joke. This is what you have to go through: https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/wiki/Using-the-Figw... and at the end of it Spacemacs told me cider-connect-clojurescript was not available. I'm not the only one who's given up on this. Quite a few luminaries in the Clojurescript world have abandoned Emacs/CIDER.
It's fine, I guess, as long as docs are plain HTML/CSS and use 0 JS. And I think we are all safe on that front, since those pages are Perl generated or something, so…

This is a common theme in these SBC threads, but I've also had a pretty good experience with microSD cards in the Pi—one time I had corruption after unplugging the Pi.

Two things that are immensely helpful if you want a stable experience with the Pi:

1. A good power supply.
2. A good microSD card.

Most cheap power supplies (like those you get free with a phone) don't supply 2A or more consistently, which the newer Pis need to run stable.

And as far as microSD cards go, [I wrote an article on that last week](https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2018/raspberry-pi-microsd-... there's a huge gulf between the best and worst cards, even from name-brand manufacturers.

what's the benefit of using them vs. AWS or GCP directly?
Uh no.

I'll just address the inaccuracies in your second paragraph.

By the time the US was engaging the Germans on land (Operation Torch in Nov. 1942), the Germans were already stuck in Stalingrad and had been defeated in their attempt to capture Moscow. They would never pose a serious threat in the East again. By spring they would be retreating as the Soviets unleashed their rebuilt armies on the weary Wehrmacht.

Operation Torch didn't go "poorly," though the green US troops didn't perform as well as seasoned British or German troops would have. Nor did US troops perform poorly during Operation Husky. By the time the Allies landed in Normandy, the US was performing extremely well.

Strategic airstrikes by the US (and British) never had a significant impact on the German industrial output. Nor did they have a damaging effect on German morale.

Doing what? The point of Amazon is to eliminate whole swathes of human-powered jobs from the supply chain. You're either getting paid six figures or more for coding or you're busting your ass for minimum wage on the wrong end of the supply chain for just as long as it takes them to get the robots that will replace you working right.

And if they went full-nuclear they could use zero coal and have zero green house emissions as well.
Part 2

Key Points in Terms of Service

•	We’ve added a mutual arbitration clause.
Hopefully, disputes will never be an issue, but in the case of one, this allows a third-party arbitrator to help us resolve them. We’ve also added a class action waiver. These provisions are an important part of our relationship with you, so please read them carefully.

•	We’ve specified the legal entity that provides each service to you.
For some services, this may be a different entity than the entity that previously provided the service. We’ve also reserved the right to transfer the providing entity for each service in the future.

•	General provisions that apply to billing, auto-renewal, and refunds have been added.
Unless the additional terms for a service override the Terms of Service, these provisions apply to your use of our paid services.

•	Applicability of Terms.
If you are using our services on behalf of another account owner (e.g., as an administrator, consultant or analyst) or on behalf of a company, business or other entity, the Terms of Service apply to your activities and are binding on the account owner or entity.

•	Indemnity for Non-Personal Use.
If you are using our Services on behalf of a company, business or other entity, or if you are using our Services for commercial purposes, we’ve added an indemnity provision, which requires you and the entity to protect us against certain legal actions.

•	We’ve updated our choice of law and forum provisions.
New York law now governs and New York, New York is the designated forum.
Business to Business.
•	The Oath Business-to-Business Privacy Policy applies when you use Flurry, Gemini, ONE by AOL, Convertro, BrightRoll or any other Oath business-to-business products. All other consumer-facing activities are covered by the Oath Privacy Policy.
No, they can't be but Python doesn't pretend that they do. They are just that, annotations. They don't ensure correctness. It's up to other programs to analyze (like mypy) and warn during development. That's it.
>if by “intention” you mean “clumsily projected attitude”.

Nah, just intention. For example, teaching children arithmetic with great moral seriousness, as we do, doesn't produce great arithmeticians. It merely encourages people to become math teachers.

>The idea that parenting isn't a field which can be, and is, productively studied

Trouble is that most of the knowledge is inexplicit and that family life is private. So trying to uncover and understand what's really going on is hard. If you try to study families empirically then you're (a) interfering with their normal activities, and (b) avoiding the fact that morality is independent of outcome. However, from the article, 'coach' suggests people are already giving advice. They think they know the answers.
Current Amazonian, my opinions are my own.

I love the emphasis on writing these papers to drive a meeting, and 6 pages is an upper limit. I personally prefer trying to condense it to 1 page. I will sometimes need get Product, Tech, and Ops to agree on something, and I find writing the paper really helps me solidify my argument. If you're just trying to get your team and principal engineer to agree to a design, however, the 1 page technical doc you mentioned is sufficient. Full 6-pagers are more common when working across orgs, in my experience.
I agree with you on that. I'm just pointing out that the data isn't being shared with "some random third-party tracker/ad-ware" (it's either a conscious decision or a serious security mistake to include third-party scripts on your site). This particular method of "leaking data" shouldn't be treated any differently from direct, deliberate information sharing because it's not some kind of unanticipated "hack" as the story might sound.

No, good designers design good software. You aren't going to get good software with or without meetings if people making the software don't have the skills to do it. Garbage in, garbage out. Diving deep in code is an expensive way to find that out. I've also never met a good designer that just jumped in code without knowing the domain. Sometimes that requires them, gasp, meeting with people first to learn about the domain.

But yes, most meetings are terrible, but you can't always know that ahead of time. Elon Musk is a perfect example of someone jumping head first without knowing to fill the pool first. Some of their production problems have been solved by other manufacturers a hundred years ago.
Sake is often made by hand on a smaller scale, here's a documentary on the brewing process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quBO1QTlroI

> The preliminary work for this feature has already landed in wasm-bindgen, so the next step will be integrating it into wasm-pack.
> That is fundamentally unenforceable...as much as ordering someone to turn over cash.

If you wish to create a pull request, you can always push the content you wish to PR to your fork of the repo and create one.

It does add an extra step if you wish to PR someone else's code (you now have to fetch it from their remote, push it to yours, and then make the PR vs directly cross-repo PR between two repos you don't own).

It's not a heavy extra step though and I don't see this as removing the ability for any number of small PRs.
Facebook to change user terms, limiting effect of EU privacy law

I'm a member of a facebook group for Irish game developers. Very good group, pretty much the only reason I use fb. Though I am logged on all day as I dont want to miss anything on it.

I tabled the idea of the group leaving fb for somewhere else, as now would be the time people would be receptive to that idea.

The consensus was, nah, dont bother, this is fine... welp.
A lot of us also grew up with tools/toys like The Games Factory, which got us excited and left us wanting more. And then we got into QBasic (which I sure do feel nostalgic about) and Borland C++ (which, on Windows 3.1, I really do not feel nostalgic about :P ) and MS Visual C++ (Visual Studio 6 was awesome!)
You won’t do the work to back your own claim? Ok, well add me to the list of people calling bullshit then. Besides, who, but s cannibal would know the different between a leg of veal pork, and a... leg? Occam’s Razor says the books are jokes, pranks, or scams, and/or that you’re bullshitting. In the absence of evidence at least.

Well for starters you can try checking the watchpeopledie subreddit and look for human stew.
I don’t work for free, I’m barely giving a fuck away.

If you can’t back up an extraordinary claim, and “lots of cookbooks for cannibals” is pretty extraordinary, don’t make claims. If you don’t give a duck, are lazy, whatever, don’t waste your time making claims. It’s really simple, unless you’re wasting everyone’s time for amusement, and there’s a name for that.
“Take it or leave it.”
I think it’s pretty clear, they are taken from human trafficking victims. Organs and such might be taken from people that are dying as a “donation”, maybe the family gets a payout. Though I imagine the best quality comes from healthy humans.
Yes the Chinese are having trouble producing high performance engines, and rely upon Russian ones currently. But speed (and acceleration) is extremely important in ACM. A more powerful, compact engine can supercruise, both extending range and reaction time while imparting a lot of kinetic energy to missiles, extending their range significantly.

And for the F-35, it's easy to think of it as a dogfighter, but it's really intended more for the ground attack role. It can defend itself, but it's not going to be performing CAP when the F-22 or F-15s are around.

Hey there all. I’m an entrepreneur who has confounded a startup, founded a few individual startups, worked at HP Labs, currently work with a venture capital fund to help with startups and other businesses they invest in as a technical consultant, and I have a law background. I have never attended YC. I have a tad bit of experience and I like chatting with people.

If anyone is ever in the northern Utah area and would like to have lunch, you can email me! We can eat food. Maybe we’ll split the bill. If you can’t split the bill, I’ll pay. It will be fun.

I disagree with paying for this sort of experience. Yes there is value in meeting me and having lunch. But it’s a mutually beneficial relationship. I get to meet too! And there are plenty of Bay Area startups that are more than happy to meet with new founders or basically anyone.

And yes, my offer is very serious.
Morgues absolutely do not embalm, they refrigerate. A body in a morgue is either unidentified, awaiting autopsy/examination, or yet to be claimed. None of those categories permit embalming, and in any case, morgues are not funeral homes.
I'm 24, so maybe a little old, but I was first introduce to programming with Game Maker. Later I did a little bit of Flash if you count that, and then moved onto Visual Basic.NET when I did 'Software Development' at high school.

For a long time (since mid-primary school) I had been toying with HTML, mainly from a book from the local library, and by just looking at the source code of websites that interested me.

I think it's clear that 'toys' like this, and like Game Maker, that make programming simple and user-friendly have been around for a long time, and don't necessarily stop people from learning more advanced concepts or languages, except if they lose interest. But even if they do, hoefully they will have packed up some skills that they can apply to other endeavours.

Turns out they were a finalist not the winners. The difference is here: http://www.pulitzer.org/page/frequently-asked-questions (no. 23). 3 finalists are chosen by that category jury from the submissions and one winner is picked by the board from that.

Good info though. Thanks.
