Presumably so you don’t have to pay for the memory or performance overhead of supporting resizing? Possibly also to more closely match the semantics of the code with what you want to do, to make it easier to catch errors.

I find Pythons core data structures really convenient and easy to use, but sometimes the C++ programmer in me wishes that I had more options available to me (eg, Python has lists and tuples, C++ has double ended linked lists, arrays, tuples, vectors, double ended vectors in the standard library), the idea being that I can choose something that is a very close match to usage patterns.

Having said that, I’ve never actually found it to be a limitation in real Python code and when memory or performance matters enough that these differences start to show, Python is usually no longer the best tool for the job anyway, so it doesn’t really need these things. Still, sometimes I feel like I want them anyway, probably just because I’ve done enough C++ to be used to having them :)
There are definitely other APIs for commercial use that don't rely on scraping but the problem is that they aren't free. Sports data can get very expensive.

> pagerduty rings

iOS has the option to whitelist DnD phone calls. I have Pager Duty on it, my boss, as well as a few trusted colleagues that know to only call if something _needs_ my immediate attention. In addition my family knows that my phone will always ring if you call me twice in a row, and that they can always do this if they need me.

There are times when I do not want to pick up a phone calls. We use to just be able to pretend to not be at home, or to actually leave home to not receive calls. I want DnD to filter out the calls that I would previously screen with an answering machine when avoiding people.

A few companies had built extremely compromised electric vehicles (Leaf, e-Golf, etc) with anemic range. No one built a 200-300 mile range electric sedan with the best in-class performance and best safety features seen in an auto to-date. (speaking of crash safety, not Autopilot).

Asking how much energy the on-grid batteries have saved is a non-sequitur. That's like asking how much energy Tesla automobiles have saved. Probably very little, but that is irrelevant in the grand scheme. The short-term (1-2 yr) question of energy saved doesn't matter. The long-term (10-50) question of "is this pushing the entire industry in a better direction" is the important question. I think it is Yes for on-grid battery storage, as it is Yes for Tesla automobiles, as it is Yes for reusable rockets for space transit. Must take the long view.
Failure is your Domain
Everything is based on population averages and fealty to academic research guidelines. But, like any population wide conclusions, it is a tricky move to apply them back to any given individual in the population.
Of course, they should. It may be hard to fix it, too hard for it to be worth the disruption in stability, but it is a design error that breaks user expectations and can cause severe issues when interoperating with other filesystems.

And with NTFS, this is much more severe than your example with ext2.

For one, ext2 is a niche filesystem at this point, users practically never interact with an ext2 filesystem. It's not the main filesystem used on Linux.

And secondly, as a user, I have created files with '/', ':', '*', '?', '"', '<' or '>' in the name ('\' and '|' are also forbidden on Windows, but I admittedly have not yet needed those AFAIK).

Not being able to use these characters limits the ways I can express myself in what a file contains.

For example, I've had to rename a list with different levels of grouping from

"List of members: City > Lastname > Firstname.pdf"

to

"List of members - City, Lastname, Firstname.pdf".

And I'm still not convinced the recipients of that file actually understood that the levels of grouping were listed in the filename in the order from biggest to smallest grouping level.
from the article:

>Once MySQL published this invalid character set, it could never fix it: that would force every user to rebuild every database.

There is science which involves studying objective, physical things that have been repeatedly evaluated by independent scientists and proven time and time again.

And there is this new class of 'science' which is tantamount to p-value hacking and only slightly better than social engineering.

Most of these studies read something like this: 'we asked a hundred people what they ate for the last month'. I don't even remember what I ate for my evening snack yesterday.

It's really poorly controlled and definitely not the rigor that goes with proper science. This should not even be taught in schools let alone treated as 'research'.
But that jump in ridership is also lots of people heading to/from the airport. I live in Ballard and twice in the past year I have ridden cross town to the UW station and then rode the light rail to the airport. Lots cheaper than an Uber. I noticed that a lot of people also had the same idea, quite a few people ride the train to the airport from the north.
This is super true and super scary. I've been involved on both sides of this a few times, and you wind up spending so much time, energy, and emotion on the possible big deal you stall out hard - and when you compare incentives between the acquirer and the acquiree, it's in their best interests to string you along to devalue, but it's in your best interests to keep doing what's made you valuable in the first place.

Treat it similar to a big enterprise sale with a ton of stakeholders - establish a hard timeline with specific deadlines and penalties for missed stuff. Get it on paper, get your due diligence deliverables planned alongside regular work, and move your focus on until it's needed again.
Insignificant things like HTTP headers and extra fields are insignificant until they're not. In my experience, manually assembling what you expect an HTTP response to look like often leads to bugs when an "irrelevant" detail suddenly becomes relevant, like when status codes change, or fields are added in a way that breaks a client, etc.

I think recording tools can be a sharp tool, and require care, but (as a starting point), if you have an automated library that can generate recorded fixtures in a repeatable, automated fashion, you can eliminate a lot of the pain points while still reaping all of the benefits. That's how we set it up where I am - responses and fixtures are generated as part of a full suite execution, but persist with individual test runs.

My daughter couldn't breathe easily when she was young--when sleeping you could literally hear her breathing from a room or two away. Like having Darth Vader sleeping in the next room. After tonsil/adenoidectomy at about 3 years old she could finally breathe properly and her sleep become much better. It made a HUGE difference to her quality of life.

I only visit Boulder, so I'm not positive, but it seems to me that they have tons of people coming in from the suburbs. Most of the people inside of Boulder, in my experience, tend to ride bikes and/or take public transit, but you need a car to get to some trails and you need a car to get into Boulder as a resident of the surrounding areas (or at least most people do).

Startup: Sure.

SoftBank: Here you go. Would you like some more at a $20 billion valuation?

Startup: Sure.

SoftBank: Here you go. How about a $40 billion valuation?

Yes those things can be taught and they are being taught all the time. But, what portion of that really manifests into actual leadership and changing the world? You give an example of Scouts - did they ever become anything in their lives and change the world? Some do and some don't.

There is no definitive data that says you can go to a class, read a book or talk to someone and become a leader. In fact the opposite is probably true.

Leadership is an abstract quality that cannot, in my opinion, be actively managed. It just exudes from the person as they try to solve the problems, execute their vision, and build a rapport by delivering on promises. "Fake it until you make it" doesn't work actually work for most cases and neither do listening to lessons on leadership or reading a particular book.
So you're saying we are going to digitize emotional bias and pretend it's more intelligent decision making, and then hand that over to a corporation. Sounds like a winner.
On the Sad State of Macintosh Hardware
This judgement has no teeth:

>Under the settlement, Brar — who operated Genius Technologies and Avangatee Services and does not admit or deny the allegations, according to court documents — “is permanently restrained and enjoined from advertising, marketing, promoting, or offering for sale, or assisting in the advertising, marketing, promoting, or offering for sale of Technical Support Services.”

This guy is being made to pay 136,000 despite:

“The cost to consumers ranged between several hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars,” the FTC said of the scam, which appeared to begin in 2015.

This is not justice, and this judgement does not serve as a deterrent. This is grand larceny and needs to be accompanied with jail time for perpetrators.
I realize this is constrained somewhat by what the prosecutors can actually prove... but it seems like the person in question should go to jail for outright fraud and identity theft.

> The blue line is slow, crowded, loud, frequently requires delay-inducing maintenance, and is often very dirty and smelly.

The times I've traveled to Chicago, I don't mind taking the train. Most of these things either don't bother me or are roughly comparable to most other mass transit systems of the same size and distance.

But holy cow the sound. Loud is an understatement - it is likely the loudest train I've ever ridden. Once you hit those tunnels the wheel squealing is positively ear splitting, to the point I've started bringing earplugs with me when I know I'm going to be riding that line into town. I can't imagine the kind of hearing damage being done to people who ride that line frequently or people who work on it.

It would be nice if they could find a way to reduce the volume.
This guy should be in jail though

Of course it doesn't matter economically - when only a tiny fraction of a potential userbase has anything approaching gige to the home there is going to be zero application development based on those requirements.

You may be entirely correct that "150mbps is good enough for anyone" - but based on watching capabilities grow with data speeds the past 35 years I'd bet heavily in the opposite direction. If 50% of Internet users in the US had uncapped gige I think you'd see some rather interesting tech start using it once they can rely on it.

How to Migrate from GitHub to GitLab?
I currently have a 2017 MacBook Pro and the keyboard isn't giving me much trouble. Sometimes something will get in the key mechanism, but blowing into the gap between the key and the case fixes it. After using it, my wife's 2013 MacBook Pro feels really spongy (a keyboard I loved).
That commit disables the lazy mode by default on processors supporting the XSAVEOPT instruction. But, it's possible to override that default with the eagerfpu= kernel command-line option, or that a hypervisor has masked out support for that instruction even on hardware with XSAVEOPT support.

The point is: although relatively unlikely, it is still _possible_ that you need some mitigation even if you have newer hardware (Sandybridge or newer is where XSAVEOPT first showed up, I believe).

Disclaimer: I work on Linux at Intel.

In some parts of the world, a short flight is supposedly just as convenient as hopping on the bus or train. Hop over to the next city, the next state.

At least where I live, a two hour flight becomes a six to seven hour ordeal, with ninety minutes for security etc, ninety for travel to and from each airport, ultimately turning what is really not that long a flight into a full day of traveling.

I understand the dream of getting to & from the airport in a speedy timeframe.
The executives at Blockbuster had skin in the game, they were experts, they got their asses kicked. Last election the Democrats had skin in the game, they were experts, they got their asses kicked. Recently the institutional Tesla shorts had skin in the game, they are experts, they got their asses kicked. So what does having skin in the game have to do with anything? Not much.

I have a feeling you didn't read the article, though, because it goes off on a different tangent. It asks us to differentiate between experts in closed systems, such as engineers, pilots, and surgeons, whose expertise goes largely unchallenged, and experts in open systems, which are far more complex and unpredictable.

The article suggests that anyone who claims to be an expert in an open system, and is self-assured in their expertise, is someone to be skeptical of. Open systems should be approached with humility. It's possible to be less wrong about the behaviors of open systems, but there's no reasonable expectation that you'll ever be right.

Allergies are also common in my family.

And at that moment, even if it's subconscious, you start getting group effects. And the effects that we've seen come up over and over and over again in online communities."
