The author states:

>It is also possible to create an anonymous memory mapping that does not correspond to any files, being used instead for program data."

This isn't strictly true though is it? It was my understanding even mmap() MAP_ANONYMOUS used a file interface, and that the way the kernel creates anonymous maps is by creating an instance of /dev/zero in tmpfs. Although I believe the file descriptor might be ignored however.
But people who also dont know that proper nomenclature may very well trust it.
Absolutely. I use this in person whenever revealing something mundane or ridiculous. Guaranteed laugh.

This is the most bullish thing you can say. An odd place is special vs. the rest of generica.
Many of the middle income jobs in the U.S seem vulnerable to automation. Professions like truck drivers, longshoreman and radiology techs that provide compensation between 40K and 70K could probably be mostly or completely automated in less than the span of a generation.
One can easily opt-out. What's the issue here?
Then I would suggest changing the wording to just "profile". Whether you realize it or not, the Mormons are a less-than-revered religious minority in many parts of the US, and dropping that fact so early in the article comes across as poisoning the well against him.

There's plenty of reason to be upset with Mr. Holt. His own reply elsewhere in this thread reads more like a PR response than a real reply. But keep the contention on-topic and less like a personal hit.
Is there a reason why you'd create 2 distinct repositories instead of just creating branches and adding new remotes?

I think it's more accurate if you replace it with "statistical analysis" instead. The computers are just computing very complex equations with your data as an input, but technically you could try doing it by hand.
Yes.

1 is why I refuse to allow any static check in my company if you can show a real false positive in our code. If there is any doubt someone will quickly try to place all instances of that error in the doubt, and it is up to me (as the maintainer of static checks) to prove them wrong.

I have never seen contradictory parts of 2, so I don't know what you are talking about. If it is what I think: I would reject one of the two tools just so that I had a single easy to apply set of rules that have no false positives.

Static analysis is very valuable, but only when you can treat it like the hand of some god that will throw lightening at any developer who writes a found error. I'm currently looking at 1 suppression per 2 million lines of code. I think there is more value in more checks, but unless they can be fully automated without telling everybody how to suppress false positives I won't consider them.
We can leverage the element of luck and improve our odds against others by playing a smart numbers game. It's a fundamental of sales.
I agree with most of what you're saying. I think I actually may have misinterpreted this line: "We tend to associate the early civilizations with great monuments, but they key difference between early societies and advanced ones is the willingness to commit to process."

I initially misread that as "earlier societies were more process-abiding than advanced ones", but on reflection you were likely stating the opposite. I shouldn't comment before I've had a cup of coffee in the morning ;-)

My wife meditates while sleeping (she figured it out because she only really takes the time when she's in bed and it always put her to sleep - so now if she wakes up in the middle of the night she just meditates and goes back to sleep).

You're conflating two issues. If Matt wants money, we're happy to pay. That's a separate issue from telemetry.

Sometimes those T&Cs will be quite broad - non-revokable, across all media (including forms not yet imagined).

Does the law need to change? Or (in the case of email) is it fine as is because the reasonable person realizes that once you hit 'send', the content is out of your control?

Well, I can't argue about this: the technology has unquestionably had the effect of causing some people to be reassigned, some disciplined, etc. But absurd hearsay comments about increased profits? I think some science and some numbers are required.

(I read the SCMP article of which this was a summary and it didn't have any higher journalistic value).
All of which work fine, the real problem is installing Python with homebrew. If you just install Python from the binary on the website then any of those solutions will work with minimal drama.

We are not. Proof: Monocultures that require lots of stored sun energy and lots of fertilizers (even more stored ancient sun energy) and lots of pesticides (even more energy, plus incalculable side effects).

How about you read what I wrote? I mean, all of it, not just a few words that triggered you to lecture me as if I had said something on a child level. HN has interesting discussions, let's keep the level up a bit. If you read into my comment that I propose to let nature run all on its own, like some state park or nature preserve, than you did not really read much of it. If I have to explain what I wrote to someone who didn't read it I feel like I'm wasting a lot of time and comment space.

If I read it correctly, that 10% was only for the static checks flagged in code reviews. They have some checks that are 0%.

Which is to say there are some checks that are always right and google doesn't allow violations. The 10% seems to refer to checks that catch some significant bugs - things bad enough that they are worth looking at, but the check isn't perfect.

> Sure you can also just use bare virtualenv, but then you have to figure out how it works together with everything displayed in the picture.

How so? I use virtualenv and don't have any issues. Seems pretty straight forward to me. I haven't moved to pipenv because it forces a folder structure on you, which I hate. The great thing about virtualenv is that you can be anywhere on your system, it doesn't matter, as long as you see the project name in paren's next to your prompt you know you are good.
The CIA Made a Board Game, and It's Now Playable
Man, generally I don't have sleep troubles[1], but I hate not getting sleep. It destroys my next day. Like, objectively. I don't operate well without sleep, so the thought of "you'll get through the day" doesn't ring nice for me. The same is true if I stab my foot with a knife, but it doesn't mean I won't dread experiencing the recovery from the knife wound lol.

[1]: I sleep well, I get plenty of it. The only downside I have is restless leg syndrome which, according to my wife, has me kicking and moving my legs a lot at night. I imagine that impacts my quality of sleep, so I try to get a bit more sleep due to that.

It is very easy to setup multiple streams to get a LOT of data. Not everything, but a metric shit ton. I have collected over 10 billion tweets for Twicsy over the years, and that is only because I was targeting pictures.

We all already know that PowerPoint makes us stupid and that the written word is an unsurpassed tool for developing and communicating structured thought, and while Amazon’s success has made Bezos’ insistence and practice of this more prominent, it’s still praiseworthy in the increasingly illiterate world in which we live.

Matt said in his statement above, "I haven't actually watched the video" so the truth is, he removed it simply because he asked the community for feedback and decided to censor any opinion which didn't agree with his goals.
so he mentions piranha solution and you reflexively sercurinazi on the HF solution? Get a grip, there are turbo pumps, high vaccum and high voltage everywhere in the setup, don't reflexively repeat HF folklore it doesn't help anybody.

Security is about what's really happening on the ground, not repeating folklore on a particularly trendy point.
As a counter point here, there are an immense number of articles on "good" game design. But the problem is that you'll have a million exceptions in games that do phenomenally well breaking all these notions, and a million games that flop abiding all of them. Really I think the point is that games are more of an art than a science. The regular inability of companies to replicate their own past successes should itself be more than sufficient evidence of this.

It always felt like virtualenvwrapper was moving things in the wrong direction. Why should the virtualenv be located in the home directory, instead of in the project directory? The whole point of virtualenv is so that you don't have environment dependencies, and each project can have its own environment.
Was thinking the same thing. When python was getting started it was up against Perl, which toon the opposite approach and there was a myriad of ways to do something in the language.

Package managers for languages were just starting to become a thing back then. (At least I think that is true...). Now days you wouldn’t dream of releasing a new language without some kind of standard package manager...

Dunno where I’m going with this comment but it is definitely interesting to see how much has changed since then. Hell even Microsoft has a package manager for it’s languages...

> Much more plausible ...

I disagree about stratification to a certain extent, that is, I only see 2 groups emerging. Here's my thinking.

Highly paid service jobs will remain unscathed only in so far as they have regulatory barriers to entry i.e. someone has to have gone to medical school, be licensed by a community of medical professionals, etc, in order to practice medicine. This applies to lawyers, doctors, psychiatrist, teachers, professors, architects but notably not to software engineers, carpenters, plumbers, etc (note: this split depends on country specific laws). Those fields that can simply block out or control the rate of progress and labor supply will see the least disruption in terms of wages. Also note, that most of these "future stable" fields are occupations which are tied closest to governmental law and regulation and are occupied by the upper echelon of society.

Occupations such as mail carrier, brick mason, railroad operator, gas station operator, steel worker, etc. which are currently well-paying middle class jobs, will evaporate over the coming decades in the face of innovation and automation due in large part to the absence of the ability to set arbitrary barriers to entry.

Within this "unprotected" category of jobs, i.e. those which cannot write regulations in law to protect themselves, those will persist for which it is simply more economical to maintain the status quo. Perhaps, something like a barista, or a part-time McDonalds worker or something of that sort. For these job categories, even though it may be feasible to have an android pour peoples coffee and bring it to their table and ask them about their day, people may dislike the service and/or the cost of producing such a product may simply be too high for that particular occupation.

This, I think, is how we should look at which job categories are more future / AI secure or not. Its at least the prediction metric I would use.
I agree with you in principle but your argument has veered into unsound territory. Do you not believe it's possible for the threat of damages to end up preventing an ex from sharing nudes of you that they otherwise might have? Sure, there's a level of determination that will surpass that barrier, but at least there's a barrier.
RxJS 6: What's new and what has changed?

Nope. Look at article 37:

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-37-gdpr/

Are you a large scale data processor of special categories of data as defined in Article 9? That includes data that can be used to determine racial or ethnic origin, health data, and data about sexual activity and orientation.

Large scale is helpfully not defined anywhere.

So if you run a site around a health condition or that lets
people specify their sexual orientation some place you might need a DPO.
If Matt feels that having telemetry on by default is the form of compensation he would like for his time/investment, I don't see that as a problem.

I can see that different people would take exception to that which is why there's an off switch for telemetry.

If you're having a difficult time accepting that telemetry exists at all, then I'm almost certain Matt would be happy to create a non-telemetry version for paid subscribers.
In today's day and age, its tough to escape sugar.
Surely you would agree.

The terseness of Bash etc. is a tradeoff. "cat" is short for "concatenate." It's common use to list a single file is more the exploitation of an ambiguous API than a feature...concatenation of one file is like the sound of one hand clapping. I mean "to display the contents of a file use 'cat filename'" is an example of how *nix terseness makes understanding dependent on oral tradition rather than clear written communication. Even the man page doesn't describe using cat to display the contents of a single file [1]. It is only implied via the stdin example once a person understands the abstract relationship between the terminal and files.

> Luck favors the prepared.

It also favors those who put themselves in positions to get lucky. Staying home all the time means you don't make connections and interact with people that you can help and who can help you. Thinking that you have no control over your success makes you less likely to take big chances or do things that will probably not work. You can put yourself in more positions to get lucky, and most of those behaviors aren't very costly and have huge upsides.
The post mentions that the majority of the execution occurs in LLVM, especially for optimized builds. In other words, anything Rust related has to be a smaller part of the compile time.

I stated in my parent comment that cross-language/cross-compiler comparisons is tricky exactly because of the vast differences in both frontends (lifetime tracking, warning generation) and backends (code generation, optimization). So yes, I know there are different amounts of work related with different languages.

However, I believe the compile time differences significantly outweigh the compile time differences.

What version of Python you'd be running? And Windows Server 2012 is 5 years old, no? If you are running a five years old OS, perhaps unsuported Docker version 1.7 (released 2015) might not be your only and most import concern right?
Yeah, I'm not really sure where we're standing at the moment but I feel like there's a slight over-hyping going on. Frankly I wouldn't be too surprised if even something like self-driving cars was not as close as some people make it to be. I think many people think "hey, we're 90% there, just one last push and we're good" except the last 10% has a very, very long tail and it might take us a long while to figure out completely. The idea that we might have completely autonomous general-purpose self driving cars in within a decade seems very optimistic to me.

That being said I'm very far removed from A.I. research so I don't really know what I'm talking about.
Pipenv solves a very real problem, but it has a lot of problems of its own:

- It's very slow: re-locking after updating 1 dependency often takes me ~1 minute.

- It has lots of bugs. To name a few in 11.6.9: clobbers comments in the Pipfile, inconsistently includes dependencies for other build environments in Pipfile.lock, stores the wrong index in Pipfile.lock for packages not on PyPI.

- They release multiple times per day, often breaking things in patch releases.

- Kenneth Reitz is quite unpleasant to deal with in GitHub issues, which I often have to because of the previous 2 issues.

From what I've heard, Pipenv "has been officially blessed" only insofar as its maintainer got commit access to PyPA's documentation and inserted a recommendation.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr (Junior): Amazing and Crazy Skills
I lived in Brush Park and still walk through it on the way to Tigers games.

What's interesting about the handful of Victorian restorations is that there are large apartment buildings behind built around them, sometimes directly adjacent.

When they were being restored there were green vacant lots around, within a couple of years they could be in the shadow of the new buildings.

In walking through the neighborhood, I wondered if I'd move back there. I doubt it. It's still a bizarre city where there is very little downtown shopping, eerily quiet to walk around, almost no grocery stores. With the new bars and restaurants popping up, everyone said they wanted to live there, no-one I knew actually did it.
