I still can't believe the term colored people has made a comeback in both academic and colloquial circles. Are chinese people considered people of color? Seems like they are doing well at mining.
Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as combative, maybe I misread your comment.

I also liked in MTG how much more responsive the game was due to instants/interrupts & triggers - was far more complex and nuanced.

In HS it's simplified - with few exceptions, your stuff happens only on your turn, very little targeting of the player (ie, no discard). The strategies are limited. I still like it, but ... it's definitely not up to MTG richness.
That's the feature described in the original article. But the comment I was responding to advocates expanding that capability without any specified limits (except, perhaps, that it be limited to "emergency" situations, but "emergency" is a very malleable word).

Thanks for the feedback! The script will download the latest version of Pulumi, extract it to ~/.pulumi/bin and then try to add that folder to your .bashrc or .bash_profile.

You should be able to read the source of the script directly at https://get.pulumi.com/ or even download it yourself, inspect it and then decide if you want to run it or not. You can also follow the manual install instructions which are listed a little further down on our install page at https://pulumi.io/install/, if you want total control over where it is installed.

I also just opened a pull request to our docs website: https://github.com/pulumi/docs/pull/430 to explain in a little more detail what we're doing with the scripts.

What threat do these people pose? I resent my taxpayer dollars being used for the unnecessary and cruel separation and incarceration of children. Just release these people. Even deporting them without due process would be less cruel than this bone-headed policy.

Add to this that HHS admitted that they lost track of 1,500 children in their custody and failed to protect unaccompanied minors from traffickers and other abuses. I don't trust them to be able to match parents back up with their children later on.

The Wizard of Oz as an extended allegory for bimetallism was a theory proposed by Littlefield in the 60s, and it's been pretty much thoroughly debunked by literary scholars who point out that the characters are essentially common character tropes from 1890s literature, and biographers who pointed out that it's completely contrary to the views that Baum himself held.

Blanchard's research and theories about transsexualism and "autogynephilia" have been widely discredited.

I recommend reading "Whipping Girl" for a solid takedown of his ideas.

In my personal and clinical experience, transgender identity has little to do with sexual fetish, although it may occasionally present in this way for a variety of complex reasons.

This paper seems to be an attempt to turn the author's transphobia into credible psychology and I hope anybody reading it can see through that.

In addition to all these excellent comments, it can also be instructive to go "backwards" from C, here on Linux:

cat hello.c

#include <unistd.h>

char str[] = "Hello, World!\n";

int main() {
write(1, str, sizeof(str)-1);
return 0;
}

cat hello.s

.file	"hello.c"
.intel_syntax noprefix
.globl	str
.data
.align 8
.type	str, @object
.size	str, 15
str:
.string	"Hello, World!\n"
.text
.globl	main
.type	main, @function
main:
.LFB0:
.cfi_startproc
push	rbp
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
.cfi_offset 6, -16

.cfi_def_cfa_register 6
mov	edx, 14
lea	rsi, str[rip]
mov	edi, 1
call	write@PLT
mov	eax, 0
pop	rbp
.cfi_def_cfa 7, 8
ret
.cfi_endproc
.LFE0:
.size	main, .-main
.ident	"GCC: (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3.2) 7.2.0"
.section	.note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits

Note the line: lea rsi, str[rip]
which I belive is something along the lines of load effective address (lea), into rsi register, of "str" symbol offset with relative instruction pointer (rip - to allow for relative addressing).

You can compile and run with:

gcc -std=c11 hello.c && ./a.out

Prouduce hello.s from hello.c with: gcc -std=c11 hello.c -S -masm=intel

And today's monetary policy is focused targeting predictable inflation rates over a period of time, which actually makes estimating it for credit purposes much more predictable than in the gold standard era, when it was zero with massive variance
I don't understand this analogy. I'm not giving keys to anything, I'm just having my phone do some more stuff when I call 911. It's like saying I should have the ability to give you the keys to my car (which, I do!) or I should have the ability to make a video call (ditto).
I was looking at the marginal case because it is the easiest to see. Once you accept that this is the case (which, as I pointed out in another comment is an empirical question; it is not a-priori obvious that I am correct), the question becomes how big is the effect. If it is sufficiently large, then it would be sufficient to overcome significant differences in objective measurements. Again, this is an empirical question.
Why does facebook need this...?

Does it further their mission (statement) to "bring the world closer together"? https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10154944663901634

Did you ever find people who ignore you or who weren't willing to help you? Because the article makes it sound like you should blame it on your race/sex/religious beliefs.
I'm pretty sure they were describing a system where that additional information would be sent when calling 911, not that it could be activated remotely on command.
Tangential question - does anyone know what model IBM that is?

play cardA -> get countered ->state reset -> play card B -> B gets countered (because your opponent recovers the counter and untapped cards, due to the reset).
The article specifically said that she wasn't comfortable because people didn't look like her. The person you are replying to said they were in the same position where they looked around and no one looked like them.
If you call 911 it is by definition an emergency situation, so no I don't believe this could be abused outside of emergency situations. Also, 911 already gets your location and that feature isn't something that gets abused (again, I fail to see how it could, your phone sends its location when making the call, it's not the authorities requesting its location when receiving a call).

Automatically letting 911 know where you are when you call is something that saves lots of lives, trying to improve the speed and accuracy of that is a good thing that should not be controversial at all.
[Docker] "containers over Spark" for scaling data science.

These are very different approaches. How would this comparison have been made?
Well that's certainly the narrative that drives it. However for something to be systemic, it has to be happening regularly everywhere. The people who promote this narrative can only really point to a couple of unjustified office involved shootings (which are of course a tragedies, but are in no way 'systemic'), and in reality spend most of their time complaining about perfectly justified shootings as a scapegoat for all of the genuine problems in their communities.
That's why in most formats lands are considered staples and fairly expensive. Duallands, shocklands, and fetchlands can make your mana base much smoother.
The main upside is that it's just regular code. This is more natural for some folks, but mainly the advantage is that you can build abstractions. So, you can build a component that's built up from lower-level resources in AWS. For example, directly setting up API Gateway requires a specific setup (and can be error-prone), so there's a Pulumi library for that.

My colleague wrote a blog post with more of the technical motivation: https://medium.com/@lukeh/programming-the-cloud-e795cafffc2b, and there's also this Twitch live-coding video: https://youtu.be/DM8Wd4f1MNA
What this article fails to mention is that having an initramfs is not required. It's only necessary if additional tools are needed to mount a particular filesystem, otherwise the kernel can run init directly from the root.
Someone picks up your phone and prank calls 911 without telling you, and then slips it back into your possession, without you noticing. Or stays on the line until emergency services arrive, and then abandons it, at which point it gets confiscated for investigation, and turns out to belong to you.

What would the punishment be for a situation where you leave your phone unattended, and it gets misused?

So now not only projects have to be maintained, we also have to maintain changes? I'm seriously getting sick at the notion that nothing can ever be finished.

Bugs? That will be those introduced by the change, nothing more. If there is any bug left, that's only because nobody discovered them yet. Having a maintainer won't change that, only usage reveals bugs. (Unless of course the "maintainer" is instead tasked with finding bugs in the first place).

Bit rot? That's only an issue when the environment around the code changes. Clang is a compiler, there's not much it cares about its environment. And if you're talking about changes within Clang that could have an effect, and those are well within the maintainer's control. We shouldn't need a maintainer for every patch.

This change in particular doesn't seem to introduce any new feature. I'm guessing it only allows Clang to run faster. The new code path replaces the old, so it shouldn't require much more maintenance.

---

More generally, we should do away with the notion that everything should be maintained, forever. We should be able to code correct programs. We should have environments stable enough to preserve that correctness. And we should stop believing we need so much code in the first place. Let's not kid ourselves, programs "require maintenance" (euphemism for "aren't finished"), mainly because they're so damn big. We can do better, really.

Capture the Flag (CTF ) Guide written by a beginner for beginners
TV production has typically been tied to consumer channels, but movies certainly haven't. Back in the day, we'd go to the video store and find tapes (and later DVDs) from all the major studies. Today, you'll find them all on places like the iTunes store. Throughout that time, theaters have carried movies from many different studios. It seems to work fine, and I don't see why subscription services would be different. (Netflix did a DVD subscription service for years, still does, with a broad catalog.)

Content distributors don't need to take risks. Theaters do a bit, because screens are limited. Stores do a tiny bit, because shelf space is limited. Online services don't have to at all. The producers take the big risks, but I don't see why that should imply that streaming services have to involve exclusivity agreements.

Not quite.

This trivially becomes a back door for malware that can initiate phone calls, by circumventing ordinary OS security and control.

Maybe there's a reason to intercept location data (e.g. cheating spouse), via a completed call that transmits a silent audio channel. So the software lands on the device, initiates a 911 call just to obtain the location of the device and send it to a botnet, and immediately hangs up.

Mission Accomplished: spouse is confirmed to be cheating. At the expense of an extra ring to 911.

This example is facetious. There are other reasons to snoop on a single individual's location data.

Now the calls are being triggered by remote software control, with your phone being hijacked as a proxy device, and who is left to blame?

"The fall of Facebook was never going to be people quitting the service en masse — it’s too interwoven into the fabric of the way many of us use the web these days — it was always going to be the people who never really use the service in the first place. Kids."

I've noticed this amongst my family. The cousins, etc I have under 16 either don't have a facebook account or abandoned shortly after creating it. It's "uncool" because their parents see everything they do on there -- I know you can customize your sharing, but I doubt they know or care to be that careful on Facebook.

"This is why the smartest thing Facebook ever did was buy Instagram. Instagram is likely past a billion active users on its own now."

Unfortunately, this is why I don't use IG. I want to, but it seems impossible for me to keep it out of my Facebook like I want to. FB always pops up with "look what your friends are doing on IG" and I don't want my photography to be plastered in front of my grandparents.

>One thing I am certain of is that we absolutely must succeed in developing, productizing, deploying, and ultimately mandating self-driving technology.

On a planet where the primary killer of millions of people is unclean drinking water the argument that we "absolutely must" develop self-driving cars is not very compelling. Especially since what is really at stake here is your "trillions of dollars". People are primarily developing these technologies to make money, not prevent deaths, and the idea that society as a whole should shoulder the burden of additional risk to greatly enrich a few individuals seems morally indefensible.
It's a conundrum, isn't it? On one hand travel inspires people to learn about the world and, hopefully, become more open-minded. As the article said it's never been cheaper to travel, so people who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so are now able to.

But as with anything we humans touch, if we aren't careful we inadvertently destroy it. So I wonder if there's a good solution here? The lazy one is to make everything incredibly expensive, but why should the world be limited to the rich (more than it already is, comparatively speaking)?
That should honestly be a more frequently employed tactic in codebases.
