> The visibly uncomfortable Zuckerberg continued his trip

And there is your answer on why the charm offensive is just an offensive - Zuckerberg is as charming as a dead slug. One might think that he has taken some CEO coaching classes to come across as more understanding and convincing but it seems unlikely. Most of his appearances in front of lawmakers are just painful to watch.
It's likely that the "too heated" is GitHub putting words in the mouth of the repo admins. I don't think you get to choose the text of that message.

ETA: The options are "off-topic", "too heated", "resolved" and "spam". It looks like you can also elect to not give a reason, though...
Whenever I see NPM I think of the left-pad debacle and the more recent is-odd issue:

Oddly, Knuth prefers ${a \over b}$. I think I agree, if only because it actually reads well.

An odd thing I found, was the once I learned how to verbalize many of the maths that I encountered, reading them became much easier. LaTeX actually helped a lot here, because most of the constructs have good readable macros to typeset them.

I'm a software engineer, but I worked a construction job once while I was young. I barely lasted a week.

The job was to help with building a hotel during a sweltering hot summer in Georgia. I'd be soaked in sweat before noon. We spent all day carrying heavy pieces of drywall up and down rickety staircases that somehow never collapsed, injuring our fingers, stepping on rusty nails, walking through rooms full of brightly colored dust and gas with no masks on, etc. I felt like I'd cut into my lifespan after just a few days. My whole body hurt by the time I got home, and I was so exhausted I couldn't do anything else.

Construction work can be simple, sure. But it's not easy.
It's true and I think that there's a base case for orchestration that is to autoscale nodes based CPU/memory consumption behind a load balancer that would get 90% of projects off the ground without needing to think about yaml files.
Kubernetes is the Android of the datacenter. Android OEMs are Samsung, HTC, Huawei, etc. Kubernetes OEMs are Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc. With Android, a large % of consumer market gains access to an app ecosystem by choosing Android. Similarly, businesses will _eventually_ gain access to an ecosystem of B2B applications by adopting kubernetes. Kubernetes will be the OS for business.

> and if you're contributing to Emacs you can expect other users to have your feature in the in their hands by the time your newborn is old enough to walk around and argue with you.

Lest someone misread that and comes away with a misconception about the big picture - that's true if you're contributing to Emacs proper. I.e. you're writing C and Emacs Lisp code which is meant to be included for release with the main project.

99% of the things you can dream of adding to Emacs can be done in Elisp, and shared with other people immediately. Since Emacs is a stable platform, you probably won't have to worry about the underlying API breaking until your current newborn is old enough to start asking where children come from.

Permant != self-sustaining, just extending to moon or Mars isn't "getting off" Earth anymore than you putting your fingertip on a bookshelf doesn't mean you're now "on the bookshelf". Whatever we build there, will be a lot more fragile than what we have here. If we can't keep from destroying a rich ecosystem, what would keep us from destroying any ecosystems we build on much less solid ground?

That said, I don't disagree that it matters, just not in quite the way you put it, that's a fantasy to me, a way to avoid the responsibility we actually do have, the responsiblity that is actually real. At the very least, mining asteroids beats scouring for ever more elusive resources on Earth. But humans living in hollowed asteroids isn't a solution to overpopulation and pollution. We can't build housing on Earth, but it's going to be so different once "we're in space". Yeah, right. Prove you can do it here or I don't believe it for a sec.

If you're an app developer you shouldn't need kubectl. AppOps should be as easy as Heroku but based on Kubernetes so you have a choice of providers and a graduation path of you need more customization. With GitLab Auto DevOps we tried to provide exactly this. It will go GA June 22. It does more then just building deployment and auto scaling, it runs your unit tests, advises if your quality improved or not, and runs four security tests. All that with a git push.

Loot boxes are in-game containers, that contain a randomly generated set of reward items, of varying value. They are also present in far more than just mobile games.

They use addictive techniques similar to gambling/casinos to encourage players to purchase more boxes, for a chance at a better reward, sometimes irresponsibly.

Using addictive techniques to encourage people to spend in an irresponsible manner can destroy lives, which is why gambling is highly regulated.

Loot boxes are using addictive techniques to encourage people to spend in an irresponsible manner, should be considered gambling, and should be regulated.

I have to say... I'm not at all surprised about Simplii financial's hacking...

I had a PC Financial bank account... and then PC Financial decided to merge their points program with Shopper Drug Mart for some reason... and then I started getting calls from Simplii financial asking me to verify my identity and let's setup my new online bank account...

"What?" is all I could think...

I had never heard of Simplii financial before... nor was I aware that PC was dissolving/selling their banking arm...

I logged into the account once, transferred all of my money out of that account, and logged out forever...

The reason I say that I am not surprised that Simplii financial was hacked is because it is hardly even a Bank imho... it was an afterthought.
While there's definitely a status-quo bias among myopic community folks, there's also totally deserved distrust of global capital. Global capital does not have the public interest as top priority and certainly isn't focused on sustainability and decades-long time-scales.

Global capital is overall profit-prioritizing, externalizes tons of costs, invests massively in lobbying governments for their interests, and focuses on relatively short-term growth figures.

It sounds like you are suggesting that if only grassroots push-back would go away, global capital is generally solving ecological problems. I hope that completely backwards view isn't what you're actually suggesting.

Maybe you are talking about knee-jerk anti-density, anti-development stuff? While that NIMBYism is a real problem, and there are real developers working in the right direction, we still have far more global capital and power behind fossil-fuel companies and pesticide manufacturers etc. than behind sustainable-development tech. Despite all the push for electric vehicles, car companies are pushing way-oversized usually-single-occupant vehicles (SUV's and pickup-trucks-that-people-use-just-for-commuting and such) as much as ever, and lobby for all the unsustainable public infrastructure for them…

At any rate, the org doing the best at combating both the unsustainable and corrupt capital growth-focused nonsense and the counter-productive NIMBYism is https://www.strongtowns.org (not sure what the best equivalent is for issues around pesticides and healthy biodiversity).
> Yea, talk is cheap. I love the one article from a few months back about there aren't enough women doing truck driving. Hmm... maybe they're not stupid. Think of that? What woman is dumb enough to "enjoy" all of that?

It is entirely possible to get a good education at the many schools that don’t count as “good” in our brand-obsessed system. But the “bad” ones really are bad for you. For those who made the mistake of being born to the wrong parents, our society offers a kind of virtual education system. It has places that look like colleges—but aren’t really. It has debt—and that, unfortunately, is real. The people who enter into this class hologram do not collect a college premium; they wind up in something more like indentured servitude.

A surreal and sad vision.
That example is not exemplar. If code appearance is the concern, and it is, we need only a single line of "ascertain". So the example cheats by massively repeating a single uninteresting use case. We need branching code, code blocks, function calls with a half dozen parameters...

That said, both will come out fine. What will not be apparent in the final product is that the Lisp version would have been formatted by a Lisp-aware editor, while the Python version will have been formatted by the programmer.
- To cache

- To have your own repo since npm doesn’t support composite repos like Maven (last I checked)

- To not trust that npm won’t take a dump like today

- To not let npm know your IP address of your dev boxes or build boxes

I am the co-founder of Plunify. We have an ML software solution (InTime) that optimizes FPGA design by tuning the parameters of the compilation, i.e. synthesis, P&R. I don't know much about memcached accelerators but if it is a performance driven application, like HFT, I believe we can make it go even faster, i.e. increase the FMax. I read from your website that you are using Intel PSG devices. We often see designers using seeds to close timing or optimize the timing, but that is leaving performance on the table. For more details: https://support.plunify.com/en/2018/04/17/compare-timing-per...

Human weaknesses have been monetized, exploited and preyed upon by other humans through all the known history. Yearning for the community/intimacy is a weakness that religion for example has been exploiting all that time, and now others is getting a piece of that pie.
I don't mean this in a negative way, but measuring something, be it weight, sleep whatever is useless without a goal metric and analysis of how behaviors impact the measurements.

The written account linked here is surely incomplete, however anecdotally I find that people use these systems expecting some kind of emergent property to reveal itself and wham bam just like that, you can take steps to fix it.

In fact it's the reverse. Set a goal, begin measuring as much as you can, tinker with the inputs, determine how input changes result in measured outputs, iterate to vector measurement toward desired goal, repeat.

What I do get from this account is that, in agreement with most anecdotes I have seen, they viewed this measurement system in the same "quick fix" category as other things. Maybe not to such a degree as "24 hour Holywood weight loss" drink but from a similar place.

I'm a firm believer in the quantified self concept, but I think it's incredibly hard to actually do. It takes serious discipline and you need to structure your life around it - the same way professional athletes or others do. However if you have clear goals with measurable inputs and really do the work required, it's incredibly powerful.
ING Direct's parent, the dutch ING, fell on hard times during the 2009 recession.

So ING sold it off to The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS).

Canada's bank-friendly anti-consumer policy meant that ING Direct had some value, and BNS coughed up the most cash.

They were only allowed to use the orange ING branding for a few years, so they changed it to something that was borderline familiar: an orange fruit.

BNS probably had to, or chose to, switch ING clients over from the Dutch back-end to their Canadian one.

{"error":"got unknown host (registry.npmjs.org:443)"}

Per RFC 7230, §5.4 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.4), the port is optional if it's the default for the URI (:80 for http, :443 for https), but nowhere in the spec does it say it's an error to include a redundant port specifier. The registry server is likely noncompliant here, and it definitely should not be throwing 418 here. (400 would be appropriate if the Host header was malformed - but that's not even the case here).
OK, so the whole system is: type in latex, becomes unicode text, finally rendered as symbols (e.g. in a pdf). Except that with that atom package, you needn't type the whole latex, because it autocompletes.

BTW what is that kind of completion called (i.e. where it doesn't just complete, but also replaces it with something else); and is something like that available for vim - or for rlwrap? (I searched, but "completion" brings up all the standard vim completion modes). EDIT vim has "abbreviations", but the no built-in automcomplete mode for them (though you could also put them in a file, and have completion scan that file - or write your own).

A "desugarTeX" could transform an existing latex doc into a unicode version, which could still be used as a source document, via sugarTeX.
Arguably, this desugarTeX is kinda sorta like an output format of latex (like pdf or dvi), except that it's also machine readable as latex input.
Just asking people here - what's your approach in test automation for IoT.
Couple things:

1) This is very prevalent in high budget desktop/console games as well, not just mobile games.

2) These games typically do little to nothing to abide by laws that prohibit gambling by minors. There are definitely concerns of whether this is ethical or legal.

Obviously they did need to because no one from the team had responded yet. Also his response without any link to track the status is rather disappointing but entirely what I'd expect from the NPM team.

This whole image, to me, represents a big problem with software engineering today: https://twitter.com/dankohn1/status/989956137603747840

The industry is full of engineers who are experts in weirdly named "technologies" (which are really just products and libraries) but have no idea how the actual technologies (e.g. TCP/IP, file systems, memory hierarchy etc.) work. I don't know what to think when I meet engineers who know how to setup an ELB on AWS but don't quite understand what a socket is...
yeah, the sleep difference is a big one, for sure. That one became a lot more evident in the recounting of the last year.

I hope this post didn’t come off as prescriptive. That wasn’t my goal. It is meant to be about my path down not tracking and the suprising joy that has come from a mix of ignorance and intuition. I enjoyed keeping track of PB/PRs, and I don’t blame anyone for wanting to keep those in their lives.

For me, this is more about living in the moment. Metrics, no matter how “real time” they feel are always ever so slightly a reflection on the past.
You're overthinking this. I used the phrase "contempt of cop" in a mocking sense, obviously not because I think it's a valid thing that should be a crime.

> And just for the record, yes, I've been on the wrong side of an angry cop. If you actively work to calm things down, you'll find that things go much better. It's funny that showing a little respect goes a long way. Apparently it really stands out these days for being rare.

The problem with your anecdotal reasoning is very clearly, some people fully cooperate and are dead anyhow. Phillip Castillo was respectful and proactive in his interaction. Dead. Watch the Tamir Rice video footage. They literally drove up the curb, jumping out of the still moving police car, and immediately shot him. Poor kid didn't even have a chance to be "respectful" as you're demanding.
>I’m still not understanding the controversy and kickback around these regulations. The hysteria around GDPR has been silly.

Because it puts a whole bunch of people out of a job and ruins the user experience for many things. Every news site I go to I get greeted by a pop up that won't go away until I interact with it. Apparently similar things are happening with phone apps as well. And while this is happening I've read about people having their app revenue drop 90% in some cases.

We're not even a full week in yet, so we don't know what the full effects of this are going to be.

>It boggles my mind why people think that kind of behavior should be allowed.

It's not about whether data abuse is okay or not, but rather it's about the consequences of taking such a heavy-handed approach as GDPR did.

Unfortunately, agreed. I hate being pessimistic but nothing disappoints me more than the way NPM handles a problem.

It's clearly not just a fluke at this point.
No metaphor is perfect. I highlighted where I thought it makes sense (in the ecosystem sense of apps and modules being built on top of it).
