I cannot help but get irked at the pity-projections that the western media has on Japan.

The structure of the article itself is made to sound how the war has damaged the social aspects of Japan - and how the numbers prove so. It starts with the story of a person using these services, till a point you realize the satire. Then the downfalls of such services while gracefully pushing in some irrelevant history.

In reality, showing this article to any average Japanese person in Japan, they would feel this is absurd. No such industry exists, there are a couple of weird companies popping up everywhere across the globe. Heard about the fake social media pictures company in the USA?

These articles need to stop! Every publication is increasingly posting these uncanny ideas about how strange this country is, too much western obsession.

I just built a headless armv7h system (using Arch Linux ARM) with 1GB of RAM, and after being up for 3 days running nginx, ssh, and some other bare services, the total RAM usage, for all applications, is 70-100MB. Systemd is complex, but it really doesn't seem to add a lot of resource drain for the power it give you... I'm happy with that tradeoff.
Totally, at first I thought it's weird also but after reading Kazushige Nishida's story, it's understandable. I may use this service if I were in his shoes.
> This leads to an inconsistency: if to_i will turn nil into a 0, why won’t that coercion happen when trying to multiply?

Because Ruby doesn't automatically coerce arbitrary types to numbers when you try to perform arithmetic on them. This is a Good Thing.

2 * "4"

> TypeError

2 * "4".to_i

> 8

Interestingly, it is possible to multiply a string by a number, but no coercion takes place.

"2" * 4

> "2222"

Yes, "induced demand" for housing exists. But that extra demand is generated by the extra economic activity more people bring in. It's called having a growing, lively city.
I think there's a tipping point where this is no longer the case. I live in Seattle, a great city for bus rides, and at least at rush hour, it's 95% office commuters going to/from work. No problems if you travel at rush hour.

New is culturally preferential, but the government also doesn’t enforce any kind of building standards for typical home construction (including earthquake resistance). You essentially have to buy or build new because there are zero guarantees any used housing is safe.
Is this really the problem ... is it the engineer that cant focus.

Its the business, the business, product team do not know what they want. They are not clear on what it should look like.

Product lacks details, as a engineer we should demand more specifics from product.

Focus drifts when the next action is not certain.

How focused do you think atheletes are? Its because their ends are clear. Ours are loose and highly complex and with compounding execution could cause problems for many.

But product is too lazy to work and be detailed.
Serious question -- isn't the lifetime of solar panels (or ancillary equipment) significantly less than 30 years? A quick Google looks like 15 years ish? I have never owned a home (or lived in one with solar), so I'm not sure of the actual typical mileage.
Maybe not on the home as a whole but every consumer major appliance comes with a standardized energy comparison chart.
I just searched a few times on Google Maps in different neighborhoods and I think I found about 50 gas stations, which didn't feel like a complete list to me. Especially along Van Ness and Lombard (signed as US-101), 19th Avenue (signed as CA-1), and exits from the 101 and 280, they are fairly numerous.

Google Maps found more than 20 in the southeastern neighborhoods alone!

I don't mean to argue from anecdotes, but I've never known anyone who lives in San Francisco and owns a car to complain that gas stations are particularly rare or hard to find or access here. (They may often complain about parking, but not as much about gas stations.)
I'm aware of how scandinavia structures those penalties and I frankly prefer social economic status-blind policies.

It's reasonable to disagree.
Redis persistance is not built or intended to be a write guarantee, but more of a safeguard against cold cache after a restart or failure.

It looks as if free tier has persistence turned off by default and that standard tier uses snapshotting/rdb to replicate.
Mistakes cause and effect. NIMBYs don't want to increase construction costs, though they want to maximise the value of existing property.
Thank you for glom, and don't let those comments get you down.

Personally speaking – my heuristic is that maintainers who put effort into marketing copy (even if it's awkwardly exaggerated) are the kind of people who really want their users to enjoy the project, and that often predicts a low-friction experience. Keep doing what you're doing!
It sounds like you're talking about downtown Chicago. There are a lot of bus lines that converge in that area, along with every single train except the yellow line, because the city is hyper-centralized so that's where everyone's commuting to.

In most the city, buses just run along the major thoroughfares, which typically means they are spaced 4-ish city blocks apart.
> Some people also understand that roads are dangerous, and being hit by a car when you’re on a bike is very bad news.

Some people understand that cars are dangerous, and would see the risk of killing people with your car as a downside to using a car.

The parent specifically mentioned 'it doesn't go fast enough to be a danger to anyone' as an advantage for the bike.
Shouldn't it depend on what your goal is? If your goal is to know exactly how something works, I agree with you. If your goal is to "feel better" along some dimension of your mental or physical health, then you don't need to know how it works, just that it works for you.
This is a cool app, but isn't the idea to integrate it somewhere you end up looking already, rather than have to think to look at it and click the shortcut? I have the same problem, I always cmd+tab between windows so I never see my desktop.

In the past I used a chrome extension called tab.pics that shows a new landscape image pulled from reddit on every blank tab. It was kinda buggy though, it rarely shows the caption of what I'm looking at, and the source material isn't always that interesting or high enough resolution and sometimes doesn't load at all.

Just an idea, but if you converted BackgroundifierBuddy to a chrome extension I would totally use it.
Yes, he was.

No, he wasn't. This is California, not Connecticut. He was arrested because he allegedly violated CVC 40302 (a) and (b) by refusing to provide his license and refusing to sign the ticket.

The article quotes the wrong CVC element, and I'm not sure what the right one would be. 22515(a) is closer, but it refers to "on a highway".

The article's link to CVC 22500 is clearly wrong because its constraints apply regardless of whether there is anyone in the vehicle.

The SPD claimed that he "violated several laws", so there may be more to the story in the first place.
Airflow requires task queues (e.g. celery), message broker (e.g. rabbitmq), a web service, a scheduler service, and a database. You also need worker clusters to read from your task queues and execute jobs. All those workers need every library or app that any of your dags require. Each of these things are not necessarily big deals on their own, but it still all adds up to a sizable investment in time, complexity and cost to get it up and running.

You'll probably also want some sort of shared storage to deploy dags. And then you have to come up with a deployment procedure/practice to make sure that dags aren't upgraded piecemeal while they are running. To be fair though, that is a problem with luigi (or any distributed workflow system, probably).

Luigi, IMHO, is more "fire and forget" when it comes to atomicity/idempotency, because wherever possible, it relies on medium of the output target for those guarantees. The target class, ideally, abstracts all that stuff away, and the logic of a task can often be re-used with a variety of input/output targets. I can easily write one base task, and not care whether the output target is going to be a local filesystem, a remote host (via ssh/scp/sftp/ftp) or google cloud storage or s3. With airflow I always feel like I'm invoking operators like "CopyLocalFileToABigQueryTableButFTPItFirstAndAlsoWriteItToS3" (I'm exaggerating, but still... :P).
You will feel pressure to go to get married, have kids, buy a house, etc. Think long and hard about what you actually WANT before doing any of those things. Decide if the opportunity cost is worth it for you.

You're locking into that decision effectively permanently. Don't just jump in blindly and hope your good luck will give you a good outcome.
This isn't the only company selling access to near-real-time re-broadcasts of live content.

I'm surprised the NYT article doesn't mention others.

This part is interesting:

"The beIN antipiracy team believes it knows how beoutQ is stealing the signal. Essentially, the website is re-airing content delivered to an individual subscriber. Since each subscriber has a unique identification number that is usually visible, known as a fingerprint, beIN engineers thought they would be able to easily identify the offending customer. However, the pirates have figured out how to hide their fingerprints."

I'm sure there are challenges in doing this in real-time, and without introducing additional compression artefacts, but isn't this as simple as diffing feeds from 2 or more original subscribers feeds, to find where in the picture the subscriber info is encoded?

I always found this[0] analogy quite accurate whenever I discussed this issue with others.

Setting aside how different languages (mis)treat null as a concept, I think the whole discussion is about convoluting boolean logic with memory addresses and some languages do a better/worse job at being 'intuitive' than others.

I had great success with this[1] whenever I felt things were going in the wrong direction or when the language constructs of dealing with nulls were in the way of the domain design.

Thanks for the interesting response! I wonder how many developers currently think this way (in terms of explicitly specified sets of features rather than specific sites).

And, what's more, how eager would they be to be seen to be thinking this way in a public bid? One thing that comes to mind is that some developers might not want to publicly specify some of the features that actually matter to them, for example things about neighborhood incomes, crime rates, homelessness, or other neighborhood demographics. Still, developers may feel that these things will significantly affect the suitability of a site to a profitable project, but not want to deal with the public relations aspects of spelling out their reasoning.

I'm not sure how strong an argument that is against your proposal, but maybe developers would consider it pretty fundamental.

Edit: Also, it's amusing to think about people trying to quantify aesthetic fit. "We want to build this development in a place that McMansion Hell thinks is overall pretty tacky, but not super tacky." "We want to build this development in a place with an average of 12 architectural classiness points, but in any case not more than 17 classiness points."
I'd say a proper response is one that conveys empathy and validation of her feelings. Grilling her for specifics could feel threatening, but showing concern or curiosity about her feelings could make her feel safe enough to open up. Possible things that could be part of a proper response: "Oh, yeah, I've noticed a few of the guys are unaware of social cues. Has anyone done anything that felt threatening?", "Yeah, sometimes guys don't realize how they come off. I'm sorry they've made you feel that way.", body language that is non-threatening like sitting down, relaxing your shoulders, standing far enough away, facial expressions that reflect the feelings she's expressing to you.
The only benefit renters have when new construction come in is that they can get the hell out instead of being stuck with "beep beep beep" trucks backing up at 6am and demolition tremors all day long for 3-5 years straight (yeah, I'm jaded).

Anyone living there, regardless of if they own or rent, is affected by the changes. People currently there bear the burden, people who come in after reap the benefits.
It seems to me like the advantage to focus on here is the improved error / `None` handling, which will speed debugging and make handling expected edge cases easier. I've seen a lot of inexperienced developers tripped up entirely by this kind of data access, and seen plenty of experienced developers waste time debugging it because of the exact error cases the announcement references.

The `T` object, which the article describes as its most powerful, can be a useful pattern in some situations, but it's worth pointing out it isn't new or unique to this project.

The author says in another thread here that he first started working on the "stuff leading up to glom" in 2013. One older example, which is virtually identical though less complete, is this Stack Overflow answer I posted in 2012: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9920723/500584

I'd seen the general pattern even before that post, if not the Pythonic syntax. I don't think that it's much of an improvement over defining a `lambda`, so again I would say the thing to focus on is the improved debugability and the simpler, dot-notation-as-generic-attribute-or-item-accessor syntax. I think `T` is largely a distraction, or should be reserved for advanced users.

It's an employer telling employees to do something while they're at work, on company time and company premises! How is that relatable to federal regulation of private industry?
Kotlin also compiles to pure JavaScript.

Does this mean that Kotlin is JavaScript with some really _nice_ syntactic sugar?
I was under the impression that it was "liberal" democracy that gives rise to principles-over-majority rule in practice. The idea being that government authority is derived from the will of the majority just as strongly as it is derived from the rights of the minority.

This seems much more closely aligned with the principles of liberalism than it does constitutionalism. Any dictator can write a constitution and derive authority from it. They can't, however, practice authoritarianism through the practice of liberal principles.
What a scam.

"Net Neutrality" is just a euphemism for "forcing all ISPs to submit to federal licensing to make it easier to coerce them into doing stuff".

Yeah; basically any calendar app. Every OS/device comes with one built in; they can sync across all your devices; they expose the database via SDK or API so you or others can augment them with additional tools (though I don't find it necessary).

For me, this has been a solved problem for many years.

It's one of those things where everybody's different, I get that.

But using an email system to manage your tasks seems only one step less goofy than calling yourself and leaving yourself voice mails. You can make that work, I guess, but that's not what the tool is for.

I think modern calendars are one of the great software success stories, actually. They are rock solid reliable, based mainly on hackable open standards, and work everywhere. I don't delete things from my calendar, I just leave them in there as a fossil record of my life.

(What was I doing ten years ago on this day? I just checked; apparently I helped my girlfriend sell her car, bought my sister a plane ticket, and worked on software for most of the day.)

This data has moved with me from platform to platform and will be accessible my whole life. This is how computers are supposed to work! (But seldom do...)
Marin City and San Rafael's Canal district are generally poorer. Also less well served.

Many people in San Rafael and Novato are fairly solid middle class. Outlying areas range from redic wealth to rural poor.

There's wealth, yes, but as with that future of Gibsons, there are somme kinks in the distribution.
I would argue that null is perfect for databases ... i expect to get data back or a success call

All else is null or an error (table does not exist)

If i delete a row with an id that is not present its still a successful query

Databases are a special determinance if presistance. A null means you are reading the stored data wrong , your scheme is not an error but its your handling of it , your reading that does not make a deterministic result

A null value is like driving a stick shift incorrectly. You are doing something, but what it is , is not clear or producing consistent results
Perhaps interesting for graduate students and professors and industry professionals, but i think is pretty far beyond comprehension for those with only basic understanding of machine learning.

If you’re referring to Citizens United, the idea that the decision was based on some technical concept of corporate personhood is basically a myth. Rather, it was based on combining the right of (individual) freedom of speech with another Constitutional right, freedom of association. To quote Wikipedia:

> The majority ruled that the Freedom of the Press clause of the First Amendment protects associations of individuals in addition to individual speakers, and further that the First Amendment does not allow prohibitions of speech based on the identity of the speaker. Corporations, as associations of individuals, therefore have free speech rights under the First Amendment.

If you’re not referring to Citizens United, well, it’s still a relevant precedent that would prevent your plan from working :)

The point seems fairly clear to me. arkis22 is pointing out that this author is making unfavorable generalizations about men, and stating that these generalizations are probably partly due to biology. Here, it is that women assign greater value to close friendships. Later, she states that:

"My experience confirms that teenage and college-age girls care more than boys do about solving real human problem (as opposed to competitive, self-oriented gain), forming close bonds with peers, and earning colleagues’ respect. I will not comment on whether this is caused by society or by biology; likely, it’s both and many factors in between."

This isn't wildly slanderous, but I think we can agree that caring more about real human problems is more admirable that pursuing "self-oriented" gain (or maybe not, randians might say self-oriented gain is the highest moral pursuit there is. I'd disagree, and I suspect the author here would as well).

So, we have that men pursue self-oriented gain, and women pursue solution to real world human problems, and this is partly due to biological differences between men and women.

Personally, I'm really not offended or bothered by this. She has every right to make this claim, and overall, I though it was a good essay.

I also think that arkis22 is interpreting these comments somewhat uncharitably. I don't need someone to go through a million footnotes and provisos and stating repeatedly that these are just averages. I am nearly certain that this writer would agree that some men care deeply about real human problems and relationships, and some women care more about self-oriented gain. I certainly don't think it improves the conversation when people get bogged down because they have to protect themselves against every possible uncharitable interpretation of an argument (she didn't say that arkis22 cares less about his friendships).

But we do live in a world where people who make comparable (perhaps less dramatic) claims about women face pretty serious censure.
Okay, but if my social skills are that bad then I certainly wouldn't try fixing them at work.
