Sorry to disappoint. I'm not quite sure what sort of debate you're looking for. Bitcoin was the first and definitely is more well known. As to the inherent value of decentralization, I think it's pretty minimal. I never go to Costco and say darn, I wish my credit card used a decentralized system.

Reading this and replies to it saying how this is slowly becoming(or already is) the reality, I now get why stranger things is a highly acclaimed show. Not to take away anything from the storyline, direction, acting but one large appeal of the show was that it brought back memories. Parents of today lived the life portrayed by the kids in the show(cycling, staying overnight at friends house, etc) and yearn for a comeback of those days, long gone by for the most part.
People lacking social skills/abilities be it through autism or any other reason took "introvert" long ago.

As someone drained by social situations who needs alone time to recharge - but who successfully works in sales and has no trouble working a room, hitting on women, dealing with hostile confrontation, etc - I wouldn't use the word to describe myself.

It's socialisings "curvy".
It's a little bad for newcomers to define these as one being better than the other. In reality it's a trade-off. And multiplexed/async are not really "I/O types" but ways to handle the two I/O types. In reality everything is either blocking or non-blocking and you always need to consider which option is better for your current usecase. Even the most fancy of web frameworks won't take that out of the equation.
MLB.tv/radio are crap services; their web apps and android apps are buggy memory hogs that frequently behave unpredictably, drop streams, or wig out; the service is also over-priced, blocks in-market games, and the package doesn't include the (what is it now, month-long) post-season, whle the post-season package is a bad joke (raw static camera feeds). I could go on.

IF it is the premier live sports streaming service (I wouldn't know, since I only follow baseball), then that speaks more to sad state of live sports streams.

My program adds 5000 nominal dollars to a savings account every 'year' and then applies a 6.2% interest rate once a 'year'.

Where is the '2018 dollars'? The account takes the same nominal deposit at year 0 as at year 76.

Where is the adjustment for inflation in the interest rate? The account adds 6.2% every year regardless of that years inflation.

EDIT: The program obviously cannot account for inflation since it has no notion of inflation. If the secretary were depositing 5000 '2018 dollars' in 1947, then the nominal deposit would have to be something like $500. Inflation is usually positive, so money in the past is worth more.
If you use cloudflare instead of cloudfront and route53, you don’t have to pay the $.50/mo for dns, but much more importantly you get free bandwidth from cloudflare, and will pay next to nothing in s3 costs if you cache liberally with cloudflare at the cdn level.

There is a kind of perverse incentive not to work too hard to secure software when doing so removes a critical reason to buy the updates.

That being said I do think truly securing an application requires first having a secure platform. Otherwise users could indefinitely demand mitigations at the application layer until it contains most of its own OS.
Do we have a good grasp on what that means? I'm not trying to deny climate change but if I'm honest I don't know what it means for the carbon dioxide levels to by the highest in 800,000 years.

Is the temperature response linear?

Are there other dangers involved in changing the composition of our atmosphere?

Is the response likely to self regulate or avalanche out of control?

Is being the highest in 800,000 actually a significant point or is it just a bad sign?
I kinda like the concept, too. Beyond just the whole execution, which is really well done. Thermal paper disappears over time. So this in turn means these photos are somewhat ephemeral. I haven't lived long enough to know whether I prefer photos or pure memory, but I have to assume there's something redeeming about relying solely on your memory.

But I also love that my children one day will be able to see perfectly accurate photos of myself in my 20s, whereas photos of my parents + their parents have considerable wear.

Anyway, love this post. Thanks for sharing!

Just a friendly reminder that most common types of thermal paper contain BPA or BPS. You really should be avoiding these endocrine disruptors when possible.

What a weird example. So just because now, at this point in time and place, YOU don't need decentralization --> It's useless?

What a privileged thing to say. Please reconsider and think a bit more broadly, what could be the value of a system that is globally accessible and not controlled by a central authority. Then you will realize how immensely valuable an unique this resource is.

Learning about upholstery
There is a milestone system setup on github which tracks when features will be introduced into master and such, so I wouldn't call it a lack of a vision statement.

I don't think a vision statement is necessary either since I'm a fan of developing software primarly for dogfooding, fixing problems you have is probably a good way to improve the software for others.
You're completely right. Grabbing some Vanguard index ETF and dollar cost averaging is definitely what I (and others) should be doing.

I think it depends a lot on how stable the learning is. If it converges and becomes harder to unlearn, eventually you'll be working from a stable platform... but it doesn't carry over to another browser unless you use the sign in feature. So you'll get a stable experience within a browser but not between browsers of the same make/model.
I think that's true although it's also true that rapidly increasing CO2 now seems a dangerous experiment with our only planet.

As an aside noting the downvotes on the above comment I sometimes question if that stuff is a good idea. I can see the point that mentioning high CO2 levels may not be a problem could be dangerous as the masses will keep burning CO2 but trying to drum up panic isn't working that great as illustrated by the "highest point in 800,000 years" thing. From an engineering kind of view point I feel you should look at things as neutrally as possible though I guess from a political view point maybe not.

> The type of people that live in huge inefficient homes are generally also the same type of people that don't want to live in high density areas.

Is this true? IIRC the shortage of urban-style denser housing is so severe that pretty much everyone who prefers that type of housing has to buy a sprawly McMansion anyways, since that's what on the market at prices people can afford.

"Huge" and "inefficient" is in the eye of the beholder, and in most countries your standard-sized American house would fall under both of those categories.
The whole idea of passive investment is no management and no timing. That's proven to outperform most active management. Yes, you could get unlucky, the world can collapse into chaos, humanity could get destroyed, or various other risks.

Right on. My definition of alcoholic shifted. I now see occasional binge drinking as legit (ie. it’s an occasion) and nightly beers are where damage comes from due to compound interest logic. It takes several days to truly recover from even one beer, so I almost never feel the price is worth it. It’s not age, I regained my ability to drink like a Mad Man again over 30 when I moved to SF, but cut back again after a year and it’s totally obvious that even 1 beer kills the week (3 sober periods in life: 0-21, 28, now 32-33 sans 4 occasions). I would’ve downvoted this a couple years ago, but now I preach it because it’s so counter intuitive yet life changing and I think took 2-3 points to make a line. Occasional drinking without limit if ever fine, vs. daily beer and you have a problem. Compound interest and greater energy levels = best self every single day.
Yes. And I'm out of the edit window.
First of all because anybody can read the contents of files there - presuming you don't have a sane umask.

Secondly because other uesrs might create files. Imagine somebody ran:

ln -s /home/foo/.bash_profile /tmp/clipboard-data.txt

The next time you ran your clipboard-script your .bash_profile file would get its contents erased, due to the symlink.

Predictable filenames are a big security hole for multiuser systems, even though in practice you're probably the sole user of your desktop/laptop. I've reported numerous bugs of this kind, including this small set against GNU emacs:

I particularly like this video. Start watching from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fu0gx-xseY&feature=youtu.be... for the historical context/concepts. He gives an absolutely brilliant overview, better than I can do here with a wall of text.

However, he is an advocate for stackless coroutines. They are a good idea in some situations but they still have a semantic overhead unlike stackful coroutines. They may have slightly better performance but at the expense of semantic overhead (async/await, explicit futures/concurrency).

I like to think that I'm not advocating for a specific design choice, but for a design choice which makes it possible to write higher level abstractions without the need to expose the underlying concurrency models.

If the video doesn't answer all your questions, I'd be happy to answer specific questions.
Which is the "just as good" alternative to Lightroom? I've found its tools to be astonishingly high quality. Adjustments have exactly the effect you expect them to, instead of something closely adjacent to what you expect. The spot remover is basically magical. RAW handling is top notch.

That's a very controversial belief. Most traditional value systems disagree. "He who does not work, shall not eat".

There is also a long-running train of thought that work is essential to the human character and that without it we decay into aimlessness.
You aren't wrong. Someone mentioned this to me Thursday right before my interview at MS. During my interview, testing came up so I asked about it. I was told there are no more QA engineers. Developers will now be handling testing/QA themselves.

Fair point, you see many of these SAAS and growth hacking companies using each other's products.

I don't think SiteGuru falls in that bucket though. It's useful for a much wider audience than just growth hackers and SAAS cowboys. Anyone with a website will find some issues and improve their site.

Many of the current users are small local businesses. The lessons in the article may not be relevant for them, the tool itself is.
There are churches for atheists. The religious cultural beliefs of a welcome opening community are a huge factor for church but as someone else has mentioned, I think regular planned meetings are also a key factor.

I started hosting board games once a month and it made it a lot easier to maintain and grow friendships for everyone. So I would say any group for any activity that meets regularly, whether for video games, books, athletics, etc are also good places to foster friendship.

> The Wassenaar Arrangement bans the export of many high end equipments necessary for chip making to China. While all the other countries/regions can specialize in one part of the semiconductor industry, China has to do all of them by itself, since it has no external help.

Forcing your enemy to invest heavily in such key sectors is pretty stupid. Eventually, one way or another, Chinese will master the state-of-the-art. A few good examples here - LCD industry, weapons.

It also worth pointing out that the existence of the Wassenaar Arrangement relies solely on the fact that the US is the biggest economic and military power in the world. Not sure how long the US can continue to maintain it.
Agreed. At my job we've integrated all the tools. Developers have to put the ticket number in the commit manually, but then the tooling will attach the commit to the ticket automatically. There's also a bot that checks what you're committing and adds checklists for riskier things.

Then the ticket is picked up on merge to master which creates a change list. Everything gets deployed to QA where it's tested. QAs go over the changes and approve it, then developers push to production. Afterwards a random developer from a different team is picked to do a post-deploy review which spreads knowledge and sometimes picks up other changes.

If something can be automated it should be :)

This entire thread is about migration. I was refuting someone's statement about too many many transplants arriving, when in fact net transplants are negative. Births have nothing to do with that. Most international migration to California is illegal.

Unfortunately that is the nature of the Canadian beast which fears risk hence why we have the brain drain problem.

It's also very telling when you see American incubators/investors tie directly into universities to get people funded; They clearly see the talent and opportunities and want to get into it very early on while the Canadian incubators and governments want to be risk averse and then cry foul when people move south. Sadly I don't think this will change anytime soon.
I don't think this is right. Even if a site goes for a subscription model, it will still be obvious which pages people click the most on, and so they will have a strong incentive to increase sports and celebrity reporting to bolster their subscriber count. The exact same incentives are there with pay-by-page. You still have to charge enough for your writers to eat, and you have the exact same incentive to tell them to write clickbait.

About 90% are on a free account, most others on a paid account through StackCommerce or similar tools.

Monetization is my next goal - and probably should have been much earlier. I'm thinking about 1 month free trials automatically converting people to a paid account after that. I would ask for their creditcard details during sign up. I'm still trying to figure out what would be the best approach.

You also have EONESHOT which means that the event monitor is automatically removed after it's triggered.

It depends on the design of your concurrency model.

For event based systems, you may prefer level-triggered notifications. That's because you want to trigger the callback any time data is available.

For fiber/green-thread based systems, you may prefer edge-triggered notifications, and often typically one-shot (e.g. EONESHOT). That's because someone called `wait_until_readable` and when that function returns, they are done. If they want to wait again, they will call the function again.

(Hi, I'm Roy Rapoport -- the author of both slide decks).

Referring to the Netflix version of the slide deck as "the old version" of the Slack version of the slide deck is inaccurate. I'm in a somewhat unusual position amongst the people whose READMEs were quoted, because I got to write one from both sides of the fence: As the established person welcoming a new member to the team (Netflix), and as someone joining a new organization (Slack). READMEs, for me, then end up looking very different.

It's also worth noting, as geofft notes, that Slack's culture and Netflix's culture are very very different, so the concerns of people within them would be different (and should be addressed differently). The concern that you might be fired was pervasive for new people at Netflix, and I sought to alleviate it; it's not a commonly-held concern at Slack.

Nobody ever does. My attempt at solving this is to eliminate as much of the "surprise!" moments as I can by delaying things. It doesn't work always, but I have found saying no to things initially helps a lot. Somebody comes to bug you, someone just wants to talk NOW, ask them for some time. More often than not, we know what the other person would say. Think about it clearly and then talk with them.

As this doesn't always works,one more technique is "let silence speak". Instead of rambling about and saying things you would regret later, just stay silent and ask for more time to think and talk later.
