Looks very interesting. I have a couple of questions:

1. One of my pet peeves with CloudFormation is the disconnect between the state of CF and the "actual" state if someone decides to update resources by not using CF. Does Pulumi do checks to verify that the actual state matches its assumed state?

2. Is there a guide for contributing a new language and/or provider?

Also, I tried getting an invite for the Pulumi Slack community and was greeted with "invite_limit_reached".
App developers definitely have standing here (and the 9th circuit opinion says so).
They just have a much harder time showing injury (and thus standing) because they are not paying the fees :)

Instead, they have to make the indirect argument you do, and it's unclear what the harm is.
They are not paying 30% more, the consumer is.
There's no data to suggest they are selling less.
Who is really injured?

The same issue arose in ticketmaster - outside of consumers, everyone else has a really hard time showing injury.

Meanwhile, the consumers, who directly pay the monopoly fee, are directly injured.
My bet is in highly distributed and parallel programming languages as Erlang, elixir, pony... As computers get more cores, these process/actor oriented languages have an edge. And they provide transparent distributed computing.

Good enough as Go (not distributed by default) are indeed worth watching.

After thought languages as java/Akka, c++... They will be there for sure, but will not give any edge.

Yeah, I played on a 28.8 modem. What he's describing is probably the result of someone using a "trainer"/cheat software that would essentially packet-flood the other player(s) so you can kill them and take all their stuff while they cannot respond/escape. Happened all the time once those hacks became prevalent, kinda ruined the [public multiplayer aspect of the] game IMO :(

A lot of the anger directed at police in Oakland is well deserved due to the number of people they've needlessly killed without any real repercussions. There's other things coming to light showing even more corruption and that very little seems to be getting done about it.
It's not really that different from how things were 20 years ago. There's a few bells and whistles added now, but for the most part it's still the old sequence.

My understanding is that if a family crosses the border illegally the children are separated from the parents. If instead they stop and the border and request entry then the families get to stay together. It is motivated in part because the US gov got sued for keeping the families together and in part to discourage illegal border crossing by families.

1) Do we disagree on the facts of the matter?

2) Why does entering the US illegally count as a trivial affair?

I don't use scala professionally, that said I have never seen semicolons actually being used. For examples apache/spark, lightbend/play-framework, typelevel/cats, the scala compiler itself etc.

Maybe you should realize that while one party's push was subtle and clearly not supported by the vast majority of the party, the other is obviously in favor of it and wants more of this.

This is stupid whataboutism. Democrats didn't stop blaming Obama over drone strikes and a series of things that people within the party actively opposed. Whereas all you have here are bigoted Republicans and people like you who are trying to sidestep the main issue.
But at the earlier point in time, when people are buying insurance, these are unknown future costs.

And this is the whole problem, insurers don't want to pay those costs because that would increase the premiums they need to charge, making them uncompetitive (and then you're into the realm of behavioural economics), but what people actually want is something that can insure against spending on chronic diseases, which accounts for 90% of the spending on healthcare in the US.

And IMO, to the extent that insurance doesn't cover chronic conditions, it is a bad model for healthcare.

Can confirm that I spend more time trying to get better deal then men I know who buy first regardless of price.
You're voluntarily purchasing a product from Apple and then complaining the product does something that's not only non-secretive, but actually used as a marketing point by Apple, the same company you bought said device from. You then mandate that this is, or at least should be, against the law. This is all in the context of a marketplace in which Apple has a non-monopoly position in.

One of the services we develop has been in a state where we can now look at performance and memory optimizations. I've been investigating memory pressure issues using the node inspect tools (which interfaces with the Chrome memory profiler).

I noticed that the default stream for console.log in node.js does not get garbage collected, and raised an issue about it in the github node org, where a node dev has acknowledged the behavior.

He provided a link to a larger thread where this is being discussed, but it seems it's been in discussion since 2016.

One possible solution around this is to write log entries to a file instead of using the default stream.

> My understanding is that if a family crosses the border illegally the children are separated from the parents. If instead they stop and the border and request entry then the families get to stay together.

This is not the case. Even a family that arrives together and requests asylum will be split up. See (for example) https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/05/us/guatemalan-immigrant-famil...

"After the rest of the family took their chances by presenting themselves to US immigration authorities, the possibility of forced separation became reality. The 20-year-old son was sent to a detention center in San Diego. Maria and her three youngest children were shipped to a family detention center in Dilley, Texas -- about 70 miles southwest of San Antonio."

"The two youngest members of the Villatoro family are now at a detention center in New York state while their mom remains detained in Texas."

>1) Do we disagree on the facts of the matter?

Yes. Your understanding doesn't seem to match the current policy or well-documented effects of said policy.

>2) Why does entering the US illegally count as a trivial affair?

It's not trivial. The issue is that a four year old child can't meaningfully be held to have committed a crime and so should not be incarcerated.

Normally a child will be sent to some kind of foster care if they cannot be with their parents, not taken from their parent and held in a chainlink cage.
No, mana still disappear at the end of every stage. What it doesn't do anymore is life loss (i.e. mana burn).
The argument over the semantics of the word cage is a pretty shitty distraction. I mean, can they leave? Are they not incarcerated? Incommunicato? Isn't that an extreme form of imprisonment? If not extreme it certainly seems pretty deranged. It is a trivial matter what the walls are or are not made from. Your attention is needed elsewhere.

And there's nothing wrong with trying to influence the behavior of the company you work for. If the company I worked for did something similarly disagreeable I'd feel like a pretty shitty person if I ignored it. .. but for a paycheck.

I'd say it's commendable so far but "Up in Arms" .. we'll see. If this is a valid angle of rejecting the behavior of your government then it's as good as any.
Point of fact, committing an illegal active in the US is grounds for having your children taken away. Committing an illegal activity is not grounds for deprivation of food, water, or shelter.

When you make the assertion that "Entering a country illegally doesn't deny you of basic human rights" are you contending that the families should be kept together or that a different basic right is being denied?
What is ICE doing that is bad with regards to using facial recognition technology. If a person is block from immigration because of past history why not have tools to make it easier to turn them down. It certainly does have the issue of the Holocaust.

why not have vendors we know we can take to the task of due diligence? Our bordering countries have more stringent immigration policies but we don't see the gnashing of teeth when we try to move towards similar strategies. With regards to the child separation issue that was even being done by the prior administration but never received as much headlines. At end of April there were 10k children separated but held in protective care, in 2013 it was 25k. We have this influx because the wrong message is communicated into foreign countries. This means all the dangers of passing through Mexico which doesn't want them either and don't even think of going to Canada

I believe you are assuming that this feature would let the government request your geolocation on demand, but I don't think this is what they are actually suggesting: the idea is to make your phone automatically send your current coordinate after you make a call to 911.
I think you missed the point I was trying to make. After all people act “crazy” sometimes, and we have constructs to undertstand it. It is unreasonable to spect that we will be able to create an computer that doesn’t make surprising calls sometimes. The trade off between type I and II errors is fundamental, expecting to engineer our way out of it is naive.

Now that isn’t to say I believe we can have higher performance systems. It they will also have a version of this behaviour. Making them behave worse to hide some of the cases won’t make it go away either.

Nobody was suggesting blind trust.

The real money is in working for yourself, so if you're the sort of person who wants to be entreprenurial and work hard, there's plenty of money to be made. There's also a lot of law schools that aren't super-expensive.

The real question is one that's not unique to lawyers, but we as a profession seem to complain more loudly than others, and it's the work-life balance. Too many lawyers just don't enjoy the day-to-day of what they do. But there are plenty of options for stepping off the treadmill and making less money in exchange for quality of life. Like a lot of careers and industries.

20 lands is a little low and is only appropriate if you have a very aggressive deck, with very few cards costing 3 or more mana.

For people with a signal processing background, this is actually a very trivial thing. The basic technique has been in use for probably a hundred years - radar being a classical example - nothing at all to do with Google. Basically, you can get a signal-to-noise ratio improvement proportional to the duration of the signal you're attempting to detect (in this case, audio), thus allowing you to detect very weak signals in the presence of strong noise or other unwanted signals. Look up "pulse compression" or "correlation detection" if you're interested.
