I was once involved with a somewhat popular social network that was closing down, and some people in the user community would say this.

It's not really practical, as there are lots of operating costs for hardware, bandwidth, looking after the domain names, DNS, security issues, DOS attacks, dealing with subpoenas from law enforcement, DMCA takedown notices, getting rid of illegal material, the list goes on.

This work is difficult to do well, it's not the kind of thing that "developers in third world countries who get paid a pittance for basically busy work" can actually do successfully. The good developers in those sorts of countries are not doing busy work, they're starting their own social networks or migrating or doing the other things that good developers do.
You have a really good point. AWK feels incredibly modern for being so old.
Great release. I am still desperately waiting for passive/once events support though. VueJS integrates them in a trivial way:

<div v-on:scroll.passive="onScroll">...</div>

Would love to have this simplicity in React.

So is the original allegation in the article. I'm saying that psychiatric explanation fits the facts better. If you have any evidence to the contrary, feel free to post it...

Do you have something against a psychiatric explanation?

No way I would use facebooks technology.

Sandbox terms and privacy violators like facebook.

Why facebook is not informing prople about EU hearing, that was total fars. Never trust facebook or anything they produce.
No, not necessarily. Ponzi schemes can survive redemptions for years or even decades; they blow up when there's finally a run.
I do E-commerce consultancy, CRO and Facebook advertising (still figuring how much to specialise).

I was fairly fortunate to bring by previous employer on as first client, the rest of the leads have come through my personal network. The nice thing about prioritising lifestyle over growth is I don't need many clients.
Or the LPG tanks hundreds of millions of people have in their homes outside the developed world. e.g. India, Brazil, much of North Africa etc. They're considered quite safe, though.
oh, you're suggesting all calls are per-minute, including landlines and VOIP.

realistically, wouldn't that logic extend to all the internet, we should all pay for traffic, to and from servers?

i think "phones" are a dying tech, and proper legal constraints and controls on the tech we pay for would be easier.

i don't see why i can't pre-approve callers, or limit inbound calls to my Favorites/VIP list. Treating phones like "telephones" is one of the problems, treating phones like tech would make solutions easier to implement.
It's in an early stage but the Saturn [1] project is aiming to compete with Phoenix more directly. The owner is a fairly prolific F# open source contributor and presented it at NYC F# last month but that's about all I know about it.

I just made caps lock an additional control and made a couple shortcuts for my most frequently used keys. Though talking about how one uses emacs is hard, since no two emacs uses have the same workflow.
The various datacenters I've had such in-depth knowledge of over the years all used a big battery for that.
ah, yes. never forget the devil you know.
I am simply saying that many of the people that work as telemarketers are in that job because it was the only job available.

Would you take that job? No. Would I? No. But if it were the only job available, you bet your ass I will take it and put up with the humiliation of 90% of angry callers to support my family.

Yes, I agree that it's a scummy tactic, but I still make a distinction between their customer (the company paying them to do the job) and the actual operator.
Yeah, I agree but would say reasonable code -> slightly more maintainable, reasonable code. Sure, the low hanging fruit is gone, but it's a similar reason. What I'm getting at is that you can write spaghetti React pretty easily, and people do. One of the core promises of using an ML to do react is that its harder to mess with state all over the app and wind up with a big bowl of spaghetti.
Pagy – The ultimate pagination ruby gem
Huh? Compressed air is way way more dangerous than pumped water. A pumped water disaster is a flood. A compressed air disaster completely obliterates the containment vessel and surrounding room and the overpressure wave and shrapnel are also fatal. I'm not sure how you would design a high pressure air tank to fail gracefully. The air is like a gigantic spring, and once it starts to go it's going to tear the containment vessel to shreds.

There are things you can do to make it safer, like installing the tank at the bottom of a pool or buried under a few feet of dirt, but they add complications and expense.

They do indeed perform a “sync” when they surface briefly.
Have you compared their privacy policies? Apple isn't better than Google at all. Look at other comments that breaks it down.
It would be hard to offer differentiation from the grab-and-go setup at our local QFC (a Kroger subsidiary). If I wanted to grab one of their prepared meals and nothing else, I think I could walk in, pick up a prepared meal, and check out in 2-3 minutes. The greater cost is the time required to drive to the store.

The only reason we haven't yet tried a prepared meal is pricing. If prices dropped ~30%, we would be regular buyers.
Apple didn't exactly make it easy with all the changes and replacements to Core libraries.

Keeping pace with Apple seems impossible, given the glacial pace of the improvement and development of ProjectCenter and GORM.

It's not dead, in any case.
Using Facebook's software supports Facebook. I think the industry should move away from that instead of adopting more of their technology. Programmers should start considering these things.

Alternatives: Elm, Purescript, etc.

Edit: I recommend stopping and thinking a bit about ethics of technology choices before reactively downvoting.
Enjoying programming is enjoying programming. The way it is sold, sometimes, is not as programming.

Unless you've experienced this sales pitch you're not going to connect with the point i'm making.
Possibly as an explanation for why the victim was slow to react or had decided to cross at that particular time.
You wouldn't necessarily use ReasonML instead of React, you can use them together. You would use ReasonML instead of whatever Babel/es6/es7/typescript/whatever.

Here is the official React binding (or whatever you call it) for ReasonML:
https://reasonml.github.io/reason-react/

Using this you would still be using React, just in a different language. But my understanding is that you would not be using redux (if you are now) because it doesn't make sense in a language like ReasonML.

True. But the article speaks of more than just lead poisoning.

Yes, groups like Latinos and Asian-Americans might be looked at as "artificial" in the sense that they have more cohesion in the US than in their countries of origin, but they nevertheless do have affinities and sometimes form various advocacy groups or vote as a bloc. You don't have to look that hard to find things like Latino student unions and professional groups.
Not sure where you get the monthly internet pricing from but my 250MB Comcast is $59.99 a month and 150MB Frontier is $40 a month.
What about tcl? Is it better than perl for text proccessing
How's Clojurescript interop story? what always holds me from using these compile to JS langs is the fear that the gains you get from using a better/nicer language are completely destroyed by all the interop churn.
Steam power, in a sense. Now I kind of want to build one, although the crash scenario is just as terrifying as with a hot car. Hmm.
A "mistake" might have been "we fucked up the concept of a self-driving car completely, sorry about that, we will pull our fleet off completely before we kill anyone".

This is not a mistake. This is straight up manslaughter.
Thanks for that, very cool. Giving it a shot.

Are these documented somewhere? The response screen is pretty clear on what's going on here, lots of interesting things.

There was a store in Brooklyn a few years ago called Walk-In Cookbook. They did exactly this, plus if you called or set up a recurring subscription they would deliver the kits to anywhere within a mile or so of the store (which in New York City is a pretty good radius). They also sold basic cooking equipment, so if you were a novice cook you didn't even have to worry about getting gear. They even partnered with local restaurants to provide cross-branded kits based on their recipes.

It was a great business that people in the neighborhood loved, but it also lost a ton of money and closed in under a year. I'm still sad about it.
Except that if your dependencies in turn use nonsense dependencies you're back to the problems.
Actually the Martian soil is loaded with water, one of the most relevant and surprising findings of Curiosity. That was another thing that 'The Martian' got wrong - that time by accident! Each cubic foot of Martian soil contains about a liter of water! At the same time that discovery, as fundamental as it is, really illustrates that we just don't know much of anything about Mars. The problem of probes and rovers is demonstrated by the RSL or recurring slope linea - that abysmal choice of nomenclature is not mine! We can't determine whether these mysterious streaks are surface level brine water as at one time announced by NASA, or indeed just sand formations as latest research indicates. What is the source of the methane that we've found in the atmosphere? I'm not suggesting there is life, but I would suggest that it's unreasonable to suggest that we have sufficient evidence to intelligently say that there is not. It's still a question.

That's an aside. With my point I was getting at two things. The first is literal size. Mars is smaller than Earth of course but it's actually near identical in size to the land area on Earth. It's really big. And there's no major obstacles in the way of exploitation. For instance like the ocean and weather irregularity on Antarctica. And there's also likely an extensive array of mineral deposits on Mars. The surface itself is red from iron oxide, aka rust. Basically if you can imagine it, you can build it. This really opens the door for entrepreneurship like nothing before. Would it be possible to have a domed forest on Mars, or eventually even domed outposts that begin to resemble cities? I don't see why not. There are also even bigger picture terraforming ideas. At one point in its history Mars likely very much resembled Earth. The loss of its magnetic field exposing it to radiation and stripping away it's atmosphere likely played a major role in its decline. It's possible that we could create an artificial magnetic field on Mars in a variety of ways. Again - potential.
The event of interest is the vehicle striking/killing someone. Pulling the trigger is not that in the context of a shooting, and "pulling the trigger" is not really a euphemism for shooting and killing someone with a firearm.
This doesn't make sense at all. High pressure water can be dangerous for sure, but water based energy storage doesn't use high pressure... It's all about pumping the water uphill and then letting the water flow back down through the pump to recover the energy. At worst your house gets flooded because the containment vessel failed.

Worst case with compressed air is a total disintegration of the tank, the room it's in, and the rest of the house along with the occupants.
As far as I'm aware there aren't any states that are allowing Uber to test their self driving cars on their roads. And after reading this report I see no reason that they should. So to me it looks like Uber's self-driving efforts are essentially over.
Listen, space is a local phenomenon too. It is just about correlations.

A lot of the nonlocal effects in De Broglie Bohm theory become classical once you consider close-by objects and neighborhoods. They are just super correlated.

Why? We don’t know. But with so many correlations, you can compare way more easily between them.

ReasonML has more potential. Aside from its excellent type system (one of the best), it can also compile to native code. This has several benefits:

- Frontend: Your tools are fast. The ReasonML-to-JS compiler is already an order of magnitude faster that TypeScript, etc. Fastpack is a native bundler in the works that aims to bundle your project in under a second (and faster for incremental builds).

- Mobile & Desktop: Some are experimenting right now with writing a version of React in pure Reason that compiles to native code, bypassing the JavaScript runtime entirely.

- Backend: You'll be able to use the Node.js ecosystem but compile certain modules to native code when you need critical performance.

Edit: I should add, the Node.js backend story is currently the least developed part of the ecosystem (I'm personally working on getting that up to speed).
- Does this job posting represent a real, urgent need or are you just fishing?

- Team Size

- Can I choose my own tools, or are you going to force Eclipse on me (deal-breaker)?

- Office environment. Open (no thanks)? Cubes (Meh)? Private offices (nice)?

- Salary range

- Average number of hours per week. Don't say 40 if it's really 60.

- Employee development. Do you send people to conferences (this is rare nowadays, and can really differentiate you as an employer)? Tuition assistance/reimbursement? Books?

- Health care benefits information (This is so variable that I always ask for this information before accepting an offer).
I honestly have no idea; this was a hypothetical specifically meant to address the assertion that "for the President, I don't believe anything sent over twitter could be harassment."
I'm guessing it's something like that.

So assuming the driver knows all of this (and that's a big assumption), then you have the blame shared two ways, and it's hard to tell who deserves more.

(1) You'd have the driver being at fault, since they were responsible for controlling the vehicle at the time, even though the computer was doing the majority of the driving. In this case, the driver should not have been using their phone and ignoring the road and their duties to control the car.

(2) Uber should share some blame for not building alerts to the driver into the system.

But how much of these responsibilities Uber made clear to the driver is very much worth knowing, because however you slice it this was not so much a failure of technology as human negligence.
There are literally tens of millions of compressed air tanks in use every day in this country, and many of hem are kept full for long periods of time. That part is a solved problem and has been for ages...

Keep in mind that in my brother's state in the Midwest, there is nothing comparable to the social safety net options offered in Britain.

I'm not saying those people have it easy on £16K, but e.g. consider the insane costs for treating depression that my brother faces, with few assistance options, which he has to balance out of such a low salary already. This kind of thing can also vary greatly state to state, with some states practicing much worse forms of social austerity than others -- and my brother happens to live in a particularly bad state for this.

Many of his coworkers, earning the same or slightly less, also are the sole providers for their family and have dependents they have to support out of this wage too. It's a situation where your car breaking down can be an unmitigated life emergency, and people avoid getting serious medical conditions treated because they can't even afford a copay or afford to fill a prescription.

So you might be surprised that the real cost of living after accounting for this kind of thing translates into a pretty dire situation for someone earning $18K in the US.
> but that isn't the point of Netflix

It'll increasingly be as the other content producers feel threatened by Netflix and balkanize their content into their own services. Netflix has to convert to more of an HBO model where they have their own quality originals that bring eyeballs, and they're already on their way towards that.
Yeah, I can sorta figure out what was meant by that line. I think he's saying that in-game purchases have turned gaming into something you need to have money to be able to do. I'm not sure I agree with that, though. Casual gaming is apparently more popular than ever, and plenty of good games can be played without 'buying up'.

I have to caveat that with a few statements. For one, I am a silicon valley 'have'. Secondly, I'm not a gamer.

But I distinctly remember how long it took me to save up $65.99 1990 dollars ($130 today!!!) for Super Mario 3. To say nothing of the costs of the consoles.

Smartphones aren't free, but today you can play free- or nearly-free games on hardware you already own.
Urgh, Reddit is indeed an addictive, toxic timesink of a filter bubble. It reminds me of Slashdot, but on a much larger scale.

I have been reflecting on ways to fix it lately. I was imagining something like reddit, but...

1) not completely anonymous / pseudonymous. Maybe a profile photo with you holding a sign with your username for verification (like certain subreddits do), first name, and SMS / phone number verification or something. That's all - not strong firstname / lastname identity like facebook, but also no throwaway accounts.

2) allow people to have a different alias for different subreddits, in a way that they stay separate and can't be easily linked. maybe that means one verification photo per subreddit, and all you really share across subreddits is your username / password. the thing of people looking through post history across different, unrelated subreddits and beating them up in response to their latest post is pretty toxic, and goes against real life where people tend to have a different persona in different contexts.
They talk about this in the middle bit. Some high pressure small scale systems report 70% efficiency when used for heating + refrigeration + electricity, even though the electricity part is only ~11% efficient.
I toured a datacenter 5 years ago or so - and yes, they had a big flywheel for temporary power loses (until they could get the generators running)
Well, to each their own, the last thing I would want is a rewrite that innovates. You can already get that with Windows or the myriad Linux desktops, and I don't think the result is particularly enticing: having all your things being moved around endlessly as new trends come and go.

When Apple decided to innovate in the space, they made iOS. Now you could that's not a desktop OS but the thing is, I don't think they care about this desktop/whatever distinction, these are all computing devices, with different use cases.

Meanwhile, Windows, the leader in desktop innovation, tried everything at once, pretending to be a mobile device with full screen windows, then reverting it, removing and adding back the start menu, changing the look and feel to Metro and now Fluent, and even in the technology front there is constant churn. That may be innovative but I definitely don't want to be in the midst of all this innovation in my work computer.
Or, Bitcoin finally got to a place where enough normal retail financial customers are exposed to it that the DOJ can't ignore scams, and by the time the ecosystem is locked down and the get-lambos-quick schemes are foreclosed on, Bitcoin will look about as attractive as it did in 2010.
Lots of comments about awk, perl and sed for text proccessing. What about tcl?
sadly the text only version links to the home page not the article, which is odd since one can guess the url from the link -> https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=613692526
Some of this is implemented by https://eatzis.com (and to a lesser extent, parts of https://centralmarket.com). Granted not the technical/quick aspects.
> I don't get the Perl hate

I would say hate is a strong word but I have 2 issues with Perl:

1) Regex choices made

2) Readability, if someone wrote something in Perl I normally would rewrite it if it took me less time then figuring out what they wrote and wasn't working as expected. Maybe it was just my poor skills but man Perl can be hard to tell what is actually going on.
You can bury the air tanks too and avoid most of the danger, but that's expensive and makes them harder to maintain. The big advantage of flywheels is that when they fail you know the energy will be discharged in a particular plane. You can orient them such that nothing vital is in that plane (like your house!). With compressed air all bets are off.
Perl One-Liners of the Month
At my last job we had a rule: if someone (usually a new manager) called people "resources", we called them "overhead".

Ex. "I could get more people on my team if we had less overhead".

It helped that our lead Agile Coach was the main advocate of this particular approach.
Done. And you're right: it didn't exactly help...
To imply that it's their fault. That's how press smearing works.
