How many of these homework assignments become actual code that companies use? If you ran a business and your programmers were all busy but you wanted some new widget, what is preventing you from posting a job and tricking 100+ programmers into bootstrap your project for free?

A friend recently spent a week building a chat server with a very specific telnet/ssh interface as a "code test" for a video game company. I helped him test it and it was really solid. He walked the interviewer through the setup and how everything worked and then never heard back from them. I suspect that they simply used his code in their next project. What's stopping them from handing over his code to the next round of applicants with the assignment of adding all the features they need? They could post a high salary and offer great benefits, but never actually hire anyone.

We, as developers, simply can't be giving away free work. We're all aware of how opportunistic business folks can be. I refuse to do "homework assignments" (unpaid work) and so should you.

The consensus in the scientific community is that resistant breeds are the real solution, the question is what to do until then. Every apiculture research group has at least some people working on varroa resistant breeds, and questions like whether local breeds (in Europe) are better suited to combat varroa themselves.

The whole 'no treatment' controversy is about beekeepers who treat and those who don't in the same area. On the one hand, there are those who treat and create weak colonies, on the other there are the non-treaters who might infect those weak colonies. It's sometimes bitter.

Each state has a DNA database and there is also and FBI DNA database.

In California, the police can add you to the database (forcibly if needed) if you are arrested for a felony, or if you have a felony record and are arrested for a misdemeanor.

Note that I used the word “arrested,” not “convicted.” SCOCal has ruled that a conviction is not needed. Just an arrest.

All of this came about through two different voter referenda.

That he's been able to do this with South Korea alone without the US at the table tells you how strong of a hand he has and how weak our hand is.

I think this is a ploy to do two things:
1. Economic growth for North Korea, which has been happened to some extend already.
2. Get the US out of the Korean Peninsula.

A strong economy will allow NK to develop or buy all sorts of updated conventional arms. NK is seriously weak here. Their air force is horribly out of date. I doubt they can actually defeat South Korea in a conventional war even if the US is not helping SK.

Once the US presence is no longer there, it becomes a lot harder for the US to re-enter in times of conflict because now NK can threaten us with nuclear weapons. Most American will not trade Seattle or SF for South Korea.

Unification of Korea is pretty much a non-negotiatable goal for the North Korean regime. It's been their goal since the start and the reason why the leading families in NK support the Kim family.
> There are also deep socio-economic problems to solve.

The biggest problem is that india has a mindset problem. They, especially their leaders, academics, etc do not see themselves as a major nation. It's why india is still part of the british commonwealth.

> The Chinese kind of politics is impossible in a country as diverse as India. If you force through you only end up breaking the country.

That's the mindset I was speaking of. Indians themselves see progress as impossible. Also, China is a diverse nation as well, that hasn't prevent them from organizing and progressing.

What india needs is a healthy dose of nationalism and learn to stand on her own. But that will never happen as long as india is subservient to britain. India has a world of potential and none of the execution. All because of the mindset of the leadership and the people. It's tragic.
We use Redis Cluster quite extensively. The one thing to be very cautious and load test if running in a cloud environment is failover of nodes that are very loaded in terms of keys. If your nodes are holding multiple GBs of data, and depending on your persistence and other configuration settings, Redis may need to hit the disk to recover. If you don't have enough IOPS provisioned, be prepared for a long recovery time. The other thing that used to be problem but is getting much better now is the maturity of the different client libraries with respect to handling Redis Cluster specific idiosyncrasies.

I think that assessment is more black and white than the situation. There are gradations to how much the compiler and static analysis help you. Coming from C++, I've been blown away by how much confidence Rust gives me in my code.

The borrow checker is the primary reason I feel this way. A smaller aspect is how easy it is to write white box unit tests. I can have an equivalent of a C++ static function in Rust and run unit tests on it. For C++, I'd either have to hack up the source files for when building my unit tests or make turn the function from static to being exposed in a header so my tests can access it.
I'm curious too. Why fork for this one thing? There must be a good reason.

"Truth" is not an antidote to bias. Evidence is.

Consider a few headlines:

> "Trump Embroiled in Battle with Mueller"

This gives the impression both parties are at odds. It gives the impression that the battle is fierce and ever-present on both parties' minds.

> "Trump Shrugs Off Partisan Attacks"

This gives the impression that the probe is no big deal to Trump and just standard political maneuvering from one side.

> "White House counsel, Mueller Meet on Russia Inquiry

States the facts of the story. Doesn't really imply anything.

All three headlines can be true simultaneously.

This describes the personal desktop usage of all of almost every single person I know. I put my dad on Linux Mint almost a decade ago, because regular tech support got much more difficult once I moved away for college. The calls for help got cut down by a factor of 10 after the switch.

Its made some strides, but at least back then, Windows was way too complex for probably the bottom half of the distribution of tech savvy users.

> Virtual Machines. Intel and AMD aren’t “compatible”, you can’t cluster non heterogeneous servers together for thin provisioning since you can’t live migrate between them.

> You essentially need to convert them and depending on what the OS it might be much more than a simple conversion especially on Linux where you might use specific kernels for each CPU vendor.

The premise is that you're migrating from one vendor to the other, so once you move something to the other pool it shouldn't have to move back. Having to reboot each guest once is inconvenient, but aren't you already doing this every month or two for security updates?

> Then we have monitoring and remote management both Intel and AMD provide completely different remote management solution.

This absolutely is AMD's fault, but the real issue is that their remote management solution (like Intel's) is a closed source black box. If they would open it up then it might be adopted by ARM vendors and so on and no one would have to worry about being abandoned because the community could continue to support it for as long as enough people want to keep using it. And it would put pressure on Intel to do the same thing, at which point they could be consolidated.

> Say you are an architect you now need to buy 100 servers with an expected yearly growth of 10% can you see the risk of dealing with a vendor who previously just threw in the towel and stopped making CPUs?

That would be the case if we were talking about some low volume product at risk of becoming unavailable. You can still source Opteron systems even today if you really want them. But nobody has wanted them for five years because the migration cost isn't that high.
Removing the story is the correction. They no longer consider it a valid story; that it is now more interesting is not relevant to the ethics.

While Trump clearly had a major role in this agreement (contrary to what some media want to portray), your hypothesis is indeed rather strongly backed by the post-impeachment relevation [1]. I guess this is not well known outside of SK, so I tried to give some outline:

Park Geun-hye in her presidental term had repeatedly stressed that the Korean reunification will be a bonanza ("통일은 대박이다"), but this unusual and ultimately information-free slogan turned out to be coined by Choi Soon-sil, a cult leader behind Park Geun-hye. Choi wanted to, literally, make NK collapse in two years after the sudden closure of the Kaesong Industrial Region in 2016 in order to pave a way to Park's reelection---while the current Constitution of South Korea does not allow for the presidental reelection, critical events like the collapse of NK can force amendments or even allow excuse to the Constitution. Choi even tried to leverage those future events into huge returns by buying land near the 38th parallel.

After Park's impeachment, it was revealed that there were multiple attempts from NK (yes, you read right) during the Park's term to make contact to SK, only to be ignored. For example, top officials from NK visited SK during the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon and (unsuccessfully) asked to arrange a meeting with Park. This breakdown was for a long time attributed to NK, but in reality Park (and in turn, Choi) had just ignored the request.

[1] The primary source is an interview of Jang Shiho from Lee Gyu-yeon's Spotlight (a JTBC programme), but individual points were also independently confirmed via multiple sources. Jang was a niece of Choi Soon-sil and eventually sentenced to 2 1/2 year imprisonment in 2017 after giving much clues to investigators (for plea bargaining).
Haha, sorry for the typo. It's fixed now!
This is where the nuclear weapons and madman ploy comes in. Once the US exits the Korean peninsula (and really, why is the US there now there is "peace"?), it's a lot harder for us to go back and help South Korea when North Korea and the supposed madman Kim is threatening us with nukes.

"That would be suicide."

This is exactly why he deploys his madman act. You can reason about a reasonable person but a madman introduces an element of randomness. Once you're dealing with randomness, you have to talk in terms of probability. Would the US be willing to take even a 1% chance that he would go that far and launch nukes at us?
> So perhaps it's not far from a road?

This is explicitly declared in the fine article. It's one of the clues referred to in the title.
If you ignore his tweeting, which frankly, is embarrassing more than it's informative, and get your news from somewhere other than CNN, you might realize that Trump's actually getting a lot of good stuff done.
For a word in common parlance, if it's not how the general population understands the word, then it's not the word's meaning.

Too many articles about Rust talk about why the current language sucks, but some feature in progress will fix it.

Rust started out with roughly the complexity level of C++, and it's become more complex from there.
The title of this article is odd. It's almost as if it implies the US was somehow responsible for his death.

He was traveling to the US for cancer treatments and suddenly died between treatments while in the US. There's no indication as to what killed him, you would presume the cancer but the title of the article would imply it was by virtue of the fact that he was on US soil.

Did I miss something?
I'm arguing that these numbers aren't notable just because they are large primes. They certainly aren't included in public databases just because they are large primes.

The example site you gave bigprimes.net has one main database, that includes the first 1.4 billion primes. These are all much smaller than the illegal primes mentioned on the wikipedia page (they have at most 11 digits, whereas the ones mentioned on wikipedia have 1000s of digits). It also has a list of the Mersenne primes, which are the largest known primes. The largest has 23249425 digits.

So primes with 11 digits or fewer are notable (because they are small), and primes with 23249425 digits or more are notable (because they are large), but primes with around 2000 digits are not notable.

Remember Hypercard? I remember Hypercard.

It was a heavily graphical development tool and runtime with a very approachable scripting language. At one point, Apple included it with new Macs. At another point, they tried to charge money for it, which I think pretty much ruined it.

Nothing I've seen since really filled the role it did. There were, of course significant limits, but it was universal (if you had a Mac at a certain point in time) and had an amazingly low barrier to entry.

But... why? SSL will eventually make it into the official Redis release.

Anyway, I don't think anyone would use a fork of Redis just because of SSL. I would take the perf hit and go with socket tunneling just so that I don't have to deal with the maintenance burden of depending on a fork.

What Is TDD and Automated Unit Testing Part 2
> A lot of it is just how restrictive the borrow checker is. Often you have to structure your code in a really weird way to satisfy it.

I've rarely found this the case for me but I came from C++ and am generally used to thinking in terms of lifetimes. Could you elaborate on how you ran into problems with borrows messing up code structure?

> Dealing with strings is another pain point. I get why there is `&str` and `String`. But that doesn't explain why I can't add two `String`s together using +.

I feel like the Rust stdlib takes after C++ in making costs obvious to people and not providing shortcuts for slow operations, causing the ergonomics to scale with performance.

Something that some of us in the CLI-WG have been talking about is creating a library that interops with the standard library but instead focuses on python-like semantics at the cost of performance. This will be a big benefit for "quick scripts" and people learning the language while allowing people to still fall back to high performance idioms as determined by a profiler.

Unfortunately, this is a little lower on our priority list for now.
Redis IMHO is in the pantheon of excellent open-source projects, right up there with the likes of HAProxy in terms of code quality, speed, and downright reliability. 100% agree with the notion that more such building blocks need to be built.

On the US side there was a shift in policy under Trump toward sanctioning and freezing specific Russian and Chinese companies and individuals who were enabling loopholes for the North Korean elite around the general sanctions. Previous US policy avoided targeting smugglers for whatever reason - possibly due to fear of North Korean retaliation if their elite were cut off.

TRUMP 2020
It's not that complicated. To get the best concessions you come with biggest chips of your own to trade. Even if NK's intention was to negotiate from day one, they would have gone for nuclear weapons first, given that prior negotiations did not net them satisfactory concessions. What's changed is that they believe they have big enough chips now and Trump is high-variance enough that the gamble is worth it.

(EDIT: TL;DR: NPR consistently represents a more centrist pro market view that in the opinion of many more left leaning people is harmful to the well being of poor and other disadvantaged groups, and to the environment.)

Piling on to what others are saying, NPR may be truthful but they certainly tell their story from a pretty specific viewpoint. I find them to be very centrist and pro establishment. When Obama announced new internet surveillance laws under the guise of internet protection, NPR only really shared the views of the bill’s supporters. The EFF and others claimed the bill was harmful rather than helpful, while NPR on their story of the bill only said “critics claim the bill doesn’t go far enough”. If they only share the viewpoints of a bill’s supporters and misrepresent the views of critics, they’re not really representing the truth in my opinion. Similarly on a day after Bernie Sanders’s largest rally of his campaign at the time, when 10,000 people showed up to support him, NPR spent 8 minutes of the newshour on one of Trump’s tweets and various reactions (where they asked different people their opinions and read tweet responses of others), while only briefly mentioning Sanders by saying he had another couple of rallies (but not discussing or analyzing the scale or potential impacts of his campaign).

So before you congratulate yourself for how great your choice media is, consider the ways in which it falls short in serving the public good.
I've said this before (kinda) and I'll say it again: if you're not happy with a feature in an open source piece of software then get involved with the development process: https://www.gimp.org/develop/ . If you don't know how and/or are not interested in learning then use another piece of software.
I think this move plays into China's hands for sure, especially if we use the pretext of "peace" to leave the peninsula. China's influence will be greatly magnified as they would be the only major player left on the peninsula guaranteeing peace there. However, I am wary of giving China too much credit here because the amount of leverage China has over Kim is limited. That Kim was bold enough to assassinate his half brother who was protected by the Chinese tells you a lot. Also, Korea historically and continues to view China with a wary eye. Kim also desires independence from China. He is now dealing with China from a position of strength after defying them so long with his nuclear weapons development and succeeding.
