`POST /door` with `state=closed` excels at this too.

Still not seeing how JSON RPC itself is an improvement over the root solution but an unrelated impl detail.
Companies don't "convince" people of this kind of stuff. They use their wealth and power to force it on workers with bought-and-sold politicians.

People sleeping in their cars in between working at an Amazon distribution center or driving deliveries don't want a new labor classification. They don't want to die in poverty and are just trying to survive this ceaseless assault.
> 'American individualism' has always been focused on the community, but in a peer to peer connected sense versus a top-down hierarchical sense.

Considering how much brutal treatment workers coming together to form unions have faced from their employers and the state alike over the last century-plus, I wouldn’t say that American society is entirely fine with community provided that they are grassroots, peer-to-peer efforts.
SEEKING WORK | NYC or REMOTE | FULL-STACK, REACT NATIVE

My preferred stack is Typescript, React Native, Node Koa, and PostgreSQL, but I'm productive in a number of other technologies.

I've spent the last few years building React Native apps, both as a freelancer and as a senior developer at a venture-backed startup.

Before that, I had a range of experiences including working for McKinsey Digital and founding a startup (500 Startups Batch 13).

Here's a work sample from one of my side projects: http://emersonjournal.com/

Someone once told me if I was gonna get into photography I should invest in good lenses, not a good camera body.

Any body I got would get old. Eventually if I had money I could buy a better body. Lenses are forever though.
I really really liked this article, and reading the comments here is blowing my mind. Did we read the same thing?

I think it's a strong insight that insight that chip designers and compiler vendors have spent person-millenia maintaining the illusion that we are targeting a PDP-11-like platform even while the platform has grown less and less like that. And, it turns out, with things like Spectre and the performance cost of cache misses, that abstraction layer is quite leaky in potentially disastrous ways.

But, at the same time, they have done such a good job of maintaining that illusion that we forget it isn't actually reality.

I like the title of the article because many programmers today do still think C is a close mapping to how chips work. If you happen to be one of the enlightening minority who know that hasn't been true for a while, that's great, but I don't think it's good to criticize the title based on that.
Loop unrolling is one of those optimizations that actually highlights the need for dynamic CPU optimizations like out of order execution and speculative execution. It's very difficult to statically make a good decision about the optimal amount of loop unrolling to do, especially if you want to generate code that will continue to perform well on future CPUs using the same ISA. Even when targeting a specific CPU model it's difficult however since you don't know statically how many iterations of the loop you're expecting, what's currently in cache, what other code might be running immediately before or after the loop, what's running at the same time on other threads, etc.
To be honest, I don't want to. Way too much noise on Twitter. It is terribly difficult to find good content and really easy to find inflammatory content. After connecting, I think there would be too much non-startup, non-technical retweets and tweets from the new connections that would just add noise.
BAMTECH Media | Sr. Software Engineer | NYC | ONSITE

BAMTECH Media is the technology and digital media company spun out of MLB Advanced Media, providing end-to-end video streaming solutions over web, mobile, and connected devices. Our platform powers media experiences for partners including MLB, NHL, ESPN+, Eurosport, WWE and more (we're building the Disney streaming service - https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/8/16115254/disney-launching-...). We operate at the cutting edge of digital media at a time when more people than ever are choosing to consume their media over the internet.

The Content Engineering (CE) org builds the systems at BAMTECH that interface with content providers and enable internal and external consumers for all of our partners to access media content and metadata. From live and VOD media on ESPN+ to team lineups and editorial articles on MLB.com to live and replay games on NHL.tv, CE’s services and applications enable us to make content available to anyone that needs it.

Content Engineering is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to lead front-end development of a brand new media-centric Content Management System. This CMS will allow Programming/Editorial to curate the content that appears in our products, view/update media metadata, and manage operational tasks.

As a Software Engineer on the CMS team, you'll be part of a collaborative group of developers who are serious about delivering quality software. You'll also be encouraged to spend some of your time each sprint on professional development: take an online course, experiment with a new technology, or work on an internal side project. We welcome candidates of all backgrounds and are actively working to foster a diverse team and organization. The interview process consists of a 45-minute online/phone interview followed by a 4-hour onsite interview consisting of 4-5 technical sessions with team members. If interested, please reach out to me directly (details in profile). Only candidates themselves, please.
Meanwhile, I don't know of any Europeans who don't support it (on an individual level) or who finds it confusing.

Hi, I'm a European who doesn't support it and who does find it confusing.

To be more precise, while I'm generally in favour of better privacy protections in law, I don't support this poorly implemented attempt, because I think it will have all sorts of unintended consequences that may not be in individuals' best interests, while also imposing a disproportionate burden on controllers and processors who weren't abusing that data for unsavoury purposes anyway, particularly smaller organisations.

And maybe "confusing" isn't quite the right word, but in my view it's far too ambiguous in its treatment of some of the most fundamental issues to provide a good platform for future data protection. Much of the official guidance is confusing, often to the point of being misleading and counterproductive, however.

we've had similar provisions in EU countries for a while, so it's not a big deal.

All regulation is a big deal if you're running a microbusiness and don't have dedicated staff to deal with it. In any case, there are several new or significantly extended rights introduced by the GDPR that certainly weren't there before in my country (the UK).

So what's the minimum period you absolutely need that data/those logs/those backups for?

Given that things like access history/event logs are important for things like protecting ourselves against potential legal actions, disputed charges and the like, there is no possible way to give an intelligent answer to that. I can, however, state as fact that we have had to rely on detailed log records from several years ago when threatened with actual action by someone who was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation and hadn't expected us to still have evidence that undermined their claims, so any claim that we can just cycle these things out after a few days is demonstrably false. Given that we're not doing anything particularly unusual either legally or in processing data for everyday business purposes, I have to assume we are far from alone in having these experiences and the concerns they raise.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, so the law isn't written like that.

While that may be true, it is entirely useless to someone well-intentioned and acting in good faith who is trying to work out what they actually have to do to comply with the new regulations.
See, I was thinking about B from the other side. If I work for a plumbing company, I'm likely not doing my plumbing in the office. So, where would my normal workplace be?

I'm framing this as an argument that the plumber could be considered an employee of the plumbing company, not the retail store.

It tends to start out that way, yes. But eventually as you can better model risk, you can better customize premiums to each individual, until you eventually approach charging each individual their expected risk (loss * probability) plus overhead.

Which, I believe, is how insurance is ideally supposed to behave according to economists.

Responsive Images and Remote Debugging – The Andrew Bailey
I hadn't thought of coupling, the distributed nature, so you have a point. However we can think of splitting up the system into pieces, and try to localize the update. For example, for a worldwide distributed system keep everything else the same but replace this one mainframe with modern hardware and code so that the rest of the system doesn't get effected. And so one.

As for the couple million, that's for me :) But I guess if you factor in cost of supporting hardware/software/infrastructure, it's really past 5 million (maybe 10 million), just as an estimate.

To elaborate on my 'unconventional way', I'm talking about using all of:

- complete view of the source code,

- runtime behavior on the screen (even recorded with cameras, or even better, display debug hooks)

- runtime storage logging,

- runtime network logging,

- modern inference methods beyond parsing (semantic inference, logic programming, maybe even some statistical analysis).

- But most importantly, automation-first approach (no, we're not doing things by hand. 'The Machine TM' will do the work for us). E.g., I won't be reading the COBOL code line by line. The code, plus the runtime behavior, would be the input to the inference engine, the output would be 'explanations, documentation, etc'.

- and so on

It would be a very challenging project, hence the 5-10 year timeframe. But I'm not convinced it's intractable. And I'm not convinced the cost is in the billions.
No line of latitude is straight, except arguably the equator.

Think about the line of latitude at 89.9999°. It will trace a circle around the pole of a few meters radius. 60° south is the same such circle, only bigger.
Fuck Mickey mouse
But if the new features aren't exciting to you, why not just use CentOS then? I mean, how many major changes can these releases make when they're only 6 months apart. They just made a release in November. I don't think anyone would be interesting in using a distro that radically changes every 6 months.

Use an LTS release, then it's 4 years apart... and you'll start getting exciting for upgrades again.

Either that, or run Rawhide (the testing, rolling release version).

I don't think one can really blame the Estate of Martin Luther King for enforcing the rights given to them by law. I think instead of "closely guarding" the speech, it's just enforcement of their copyright.

More blame should be laid that copyright law in general has extended the time frame all at a time when receiving the compensation from the works happens faster than ever. And it has extended it to such a length, it increases the chances of losing works to missed archival for all but the most popular material.
It doesn't look like there's a distinction between friendship loneliness and romantic loneliness in the article (not sure if there's one in the actual studies).

I'd hypothesis that the difficulty for most isn't making friends (meetups or shared interest groups like dancing, knitting, boardgames, kickboxing, group instrument lessons, etc), but in partnerships.

I think people are really afraid today. Dating sites/apps seem to make it worse, reducing individuals to a photo as a primary interest mechanism.

I'm really curious of the huge disparity between men/women messaging one another on such platforms. Women tend to get inundated with messages where as men are typically responsible for initiating. Some platforms try to flip this around like Bumble, but it doesn't seem to really change the dynamic at all (some men get tons of responses while the rest get zero).

There just isn't enough depth in this article to draw out any real conclusions about loneliness, the various types of alone-ness and what to do about it.
Coalition | Back-End, SRE, Data Scientist | San Francisco, CA | Onsite, Full-Time

Coalition is working to solve cyber risk. We are a small team of security experts, insurance professionals, and intelligence community veterans building a better cyber insurance product. Coalition is automating risk assessment to make purchasing insurance easy, and using our knowledge to educate clients and mitigate risk where possible. We've raised $10m recently.

We are looking to expand our 11-person engineering team. These roles come with significant amounts of responsibility and autonomy. The data science role in particular is quite broad: areas of focus include expanding on our novel computational statistical tools for risk-assessment and optimizing our overall insurance portfolio.

Our front-end is in React, our back-end is built with Flask running on Python 3.6, and our infrastructure is hosted on AWS. We are also always open to new technologies; we believe in using the best tool for the job.

Is there specific innovation you are waiting for or are you just grouching?

Because it sounds like you've just chosen the wrong distro. There is a selection of rolling distros that would better suit your needs. Or even non-rolling distros that are supported for a long time, CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu LTS, etc.

Yup and the fallback position of taking a local job if they can't find remote work w/o relocating which (honestly) was the original issue I was bringing up.

It isn't finding 1 remote job that lets you work from a rural area that is the issue. It is finding 20 years worth of such jobs.
Since Mickey Mouse was first debuted in 1928, does this mean that Mickey Mouse will become public domain in 5 years if the copyright law doesn't change?

In their prior comment, the parent said "the public seldom sees more than snippets" of the speech, which obviously isn't true (see both my and icebraining's replies for many examples). Now the parent is criticizing the license but that doesn't seem to be stopping anyone from watching or reading the speech. What is really the point here?
That would only marginally help, I think. Shifting the numbers used for hours of the day around won't make people go to bed at 2200 UTC in Australia or Los Angeles. Now instead of asking "If it's 1300 PST here, what time is it on Mars?", you're asking, "If it's mid-morning here at 1300 UTC, are people eating dinner or fast asleep on Mars?"
