> But what chance do you think there is to actually have a real conversation with someone over social media (or even text)?

Based on the context of the original comment, they probably believe the chance is very low. After thinking on it a bit based on my own experiences over the years, even after using niche forums for hobbies and just plain socializing, it's often very rare to have a real conversation.

One example I can provide right now are a few people I've seen on one of those aforementioned niche forums who basically copy-paste all of their "opinions" on software and technology from a different forum and are dogmatic to the point where interaction with them is exhausting and counteractive towards the light-hearted and positive nature of the forum; it's not worth it to even try to align the messages of both parties based on their biases because the dogmatic ones are looking to be "right" and believe that those who aren't in agreement haven't been shown the light. It quickly becomes more prudent to simply ignore that person/those people, but not everyone does, and those who do choose the path of tuning out leave the area that much more barren.

Of course, I'm not talking about things that are reflexively grouped under "social media" like Twitter and such. Still can't figure Twitter out.

I disagree. As long as the embargo is purely related to this or that company profiting over another, as opposed to being potentially a matter of safety (see the UK D Notice system, for example), it's laughable to describe breaking something covered by someone else's optional embargo as a "dick move". On the contrary, it's generally highly amusing, and at the very least informative.
It’s really bad on mobile, it literally just barely moves the screen shots around. I just have to view the image directly to get what I wanted out of it.
Across the globe, in countries where they're paid pennies on the dollar, the cost of living is also a magnitude lower than it is here.

We should be paying our workers here a wage that keeps up with the cost of living. That's the human thing to do. Otherwise, we're the cartoon evil economists in a "See why these two lines don't intersect? That's why the poor people must starve" type of situation.
You are right, I am jumping to conclusions based on what I'm reading between the lines: I presume this is not the first time the manager was shitty to OP since OP asked it in general terms how should he manage his manager, and I am also presuming the manager did not give satisfactory explanation for his refusal or offer a reasonable compromise(like "you can go, but you must never mention the company, our clients, our business etc).

I am horrified by the complete lack of empathy and emotional intelligence of such managers.

Won't OP just not hide such "silly" matters from the manager if whatever the matter is OP gets a slap on the wrist?

Is it indicative of good managerial skills that OP felt he should ask about the matter on the internet and not the manager himself?
You might want to know that the South Korean regime, under the blessing (or indifference) of USA, had no problem mass murdering 100k~200k of its own people for being communists.[1] Another ~60k people were murdered in the island of Jeju to "put down" communist insurgents, where entire towns were wiped out.[2] And during the Korean war they managed to kill another +100k by letting conscripts starve or freeze through corruption.[3]

History is never about "good guys killing bad guys".

Because I design this sort of stuff for a living and have done for over twenty years.
As a realistic product solution, this has no benefits over existing widely supported solutions that are more targeted at this level of device.

For example... it can work in 128KB RAM. If you're using 128KB just to run the OS, thats completely wasted RAM that could be used by your application. This really counts when you're making 100'000 of these devices and are paying for every byte.
You don't waste valuable resources on desktop-level abstractions. That would make for a very expensive product.
Something not mentioned yet is American Evangelical Christians. They are powerful voting bloc; they also believe that Israel must be in Jewish control for the second coming of Christ, and as a result the politicians they vote for all support Israel more or less unconditionally.

Yeah it's weird b/c they can easily rent it out for more if you default. Some of the big corp run apartments only require $500 security.
You are probably missing the fact that many VCs are likely heavily invested in Real Estate and this chain simply loops back to them, what incentive would they have for changing the status quo?

but don't you still have to store/manage the whole 30gb list of hashes? the point of a bloom filter is it can store any arbitrary string in 7-8 BITS depending on how many hash functions you use to test for existence
But that's still 12G of memory, since you can't compress it. Is there a data structure that's better optimized for space and probabilistic membership tests?
Yeah, that's beyond my capabilities at the moment. Besides Upwork, I have also used Toptal - when I find contracts (not very often) it pays quite well, and remote beats relocation (especially since I have children in school).
MacBook Pros used to be good linux machines (i'm using a 10yr old one as a linux only machine and hardware support is excellent), but the recent models have been reported to have extremely poor hardware support in linux [1]. So unless you are going for a 4-5 year old MBP and you need linux... don't buy Apple.

Conversely X1 have a pretty good following, lots of arch users use X1s, I can't speak from first hand experience but I have considered this laptop due to the good linux support. Also the thinkpad x240-x280 has a healthy following, the more recent models are often described as being basically a smaller cheaper X1. (For both of these models see Arch wiki for lots of exact-model specific support details and tweaks - even if you dont use arch, because it will give you an idea of how well supported the hardware is in general).

I've also been eying up the recent Huawei Matebook Pro (not the matebook non-pro), because it has a 3:2 screen and looks like a serious contender for dell XPS 13 (one of the No.1 Linux laptops in-case you didn't know), but I've seen no linux attempts yet. This of course is a super thin super minimal bezel category, so the thinkpad will likely outperform it if you care more about that, but i'm mainly after the 3:2 display - I hope this becomes a trend in the future, i'm sure developers will flock to them.

FWIW I don't consider windows subsystem for linux to be a good replacement, I hate windows in general but I am saying this from the perspective of helping my colleagues and seeing the mess it is and it's awful performance, obviously it's going to be slower because it's running through an ABI translation layer not the actual linux kernel, but this additionally brings the weaknesses of the windows kernel... some things in particular are orders of magnitude slower for some reason like spawning child processes.
If multiple users could use the "IDE" at the same time I could move entirely off of GSuite. Right now being able to edit the occasional code block with 4 people watching is worth GDocs.
DNS Queries Over HTTPS (DoH) [draft-11]
I'm asking the same question. We use GitLab at work, and the amount of bloat being added to this piece of software is becoming ridiculous. While I'm sure 'Auto-Devops' and other tools have their place at larger organizations, I'm struggling to find any real use case for a WebIDE that wouldn't be satisfied (and to a much better extent) by any of the other cloud IDE providers (see: Cloud9, etc.).
I think you could set up an optimization target for a company that says "be profitable and grow for the next 30 years". You would see quickly that this target is a complex beast with a lot of different factors at play that need to be balanced against each other. I don't think Goodhart's law would apply here.
It will be in the region of hundreds of GBs.
You say you prefer a terminal; from your additional interests sounds like you're on the wrong type of hardware. Now, bare with me for a moment, as we are currently seeing some pretty significantly low prices for people like us. I work remotely, and have a nice workstation in my home office. I've found it really easy to have a keyboard, mouse & monitor at my frequent destinations, and I just carry an Intel Compute Stick in my pocket.

1920x1080 monitors are being pushed out, and are available for $70-$120. Add a keyboard and mouse for an additional $20.

The Compute Sticks start at $99, and are perfectly able to drive a 4K monitor if need be, surf fine, Teamviewer/Remote Desktop into my real workstation. If I have actual work at my remote, I can take a Nuc, a $350 4"x2" box, that runs complete development suites, and any OS ya want.

For the expense of either of your options above, you could have 3 monitor/muse/key setups, a Compute Stick & and more than one Nuc.
I managed to bug an animation by scrolling too fast over it. One screenshot kept snapping back and forward 10 pixels really fast. I always feel like I'm not part of the demographic for these presentation pages.
I've known people to freeze bagels. Apparently they toast more or less equivalently compared to bagels stored above freezing.
I noticed it, though my work PC is slow as molasses.

Based on how Strapdown appears to work, it appears to be the delayed CSS load that causes the problems.

I believe that the problem could be alleviated by adding the CSS link tags to the head of the document, when you're happy with the final product. Looks like you should only need bootstrap and whatever you choose from bootswatch.
The attraction of Blot appears to be that it's not a CMS. It has no GUI, just drag-and-drop into Dropbox synced folders.
National Security Action Memoranda number 52, May 1961:

https://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/Archives/JFKNSF-330-...

Subject: Program of Action to Prevent Communist Domination of South Viet Nam

The US Objective: to prevent Communist domination of South Vietnam and to create in that country a viable and increasingly democratic society.

The US had not achieved those objectives 12 years later. The communists won control over the whole country a few years after US withdrawal finished. Vietnam's government is still communist today.

This is basically what I learned browsing through encyclopedias when I was a kid. I did a quick fact-check just now in case I had been misled or misremembered. I can sort-of understand saying that the communists didn't achieve victory over the USA either (because they also didn't manage to install an allied government in the territory of the USA), but claiming that the US won is weird.
Rates of indebtedness, quality of debt(AAA, BBB ratings etc), stock market overvaluation, real estate overvaluation. Take your pick, conditions are very similar to 2007. Whether anything actually happens is the trillion dollar question.
Cuckoo Filter:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/papers/cuckoo-conext2014.pdf

Cuckoo filters and bloom filters are different in how they handle increased load. As the cuckoo filter increases load, insertions are more likely to fail, and so its time complexity increases exponentially. However, the false positive rate remains the same. Bloom filters can keep inserting items into the filter at the cost of an ever rising false positive rate.

Well, we're already seeing Musk's approach to human resources in Tesla. And the regulatory issue he probably thinks he can get around simply by being useful enough to the government that they'd be willing to give him political cover.
It wouldn’t be raised because a competitor could charge less, so an equilibrium happens in a free market.

Essentially you are ignoring price elasticity — which of course varies depending on the product.
They do say that this is only the first version and that they have more features planned, including a live testing environment.
I'm still surprised by that. I visited Manhattan in 2010 and was noticing 1br rents that average around 6k per month. Nothing luxurious, just a decent 1br. Manhattan is far larger than the entirety of SF, but when they talk about rents, they compare the entire greater NYC area to SF, which is disingenuous.

Honestly, I don't think SF is equipped to handle such a high population density. I'm not sure it ever will be. Oakland probably could though.
"The original A/B testing" picture was definitely worth it already, I just had to stop reading it to share this treasure!
Here is my system:

- 1Password for teams is awesome. It has first-class support for things like database connections, credit cards, etc. You can also add custom fields to any object. It's a great way to share things with your team.

- I use .ssh/config to store my SSH connections with names I can easily remember.

- In Chrome, I have a few links in the bookmark bar. I open a new tab and click once to get my calendar, email, JIRA, etc. Things I use multiple times a day and usually open first thing in the morning.

- Documentation in Github repos, usually on the main README. This is for things like staging URLs.

I do sometimes rely on bash/browser history, but I always have everything I use in one of those four places.
It's not so much that SparkSQL doesn't support gz as that gz is slow because you can't parallelize the reads. Regardless, parquet format in hdfs so yarn can allocate containers local to the chunk to be processed. Scales nicely.
Michael Gove Launches Fresh Review into National Parks
Using Sentence Embeddings and Dimensionality Reduction to Visualize 26000 Dreams
This started off as a project for my data visualization class, but it turned out really cool so I want to share it with everybody. This is an interactive visualization of over 26,000 English dreams, collected by the psychology department of UC Santa Cruz. The original data can be found [here](www.dreambank.net) - note that DreamBank is a completed project and they do not take in any more dream series.

The visualization is made with d3.js, the necessary data transformations are done in python, using some modern machine learning techniques - most notably sentence vectors, T-SNE, Autoencoders, and sentiment analysis. A full write-up of the techniques used can be found [here](http://josauder.github.io/dreambank_visualized/dreambank_vis...), and the code (which is very messy, please don't judge me) can be found [here](http://github.com/josauder/dreambank_visualized).

I hope you like it!

You dont feel you have been protected because you dont care about protecting american industry

You rather pay 25% less than ensure that we do what we can for americans to have jobs.

You are the same type that rater pay 25% less than see chinese workers get a fair wage.

Is your whole idea of being protected you paying a little as possible no matter who has to suffer? What is a liberals idea of protecting america. Selling uranium to russia like hillary.

There's always a chain of trust. What alternative would you suggest?

I think I remember reading that in Google there's like 5 people that have the master keys and are able to deploy any kind of change at any moment without any review or oversight. They're the top of the chain of trust.
Why is this a conspiracy theory? VCs are very wealthy and at least in theory financially savvy so they probably have a diversified portfolio of investments, some of which is definitely real estate. Seems obvious to me.

People are safer with Apple Maps being down. Probably intentional.

Yes. I mute my TV while browsing Netflix now. It wouldn't be so bad if you could disable/mute autoplay in the app's settings.
But isn't the reason these products are made in China because it's inherently both more efficient and cost-effective?

You're saying we should make products in a less efficient and more expensive way to avoid relying on other countries?

And by the way isn't the bulk of our imports raw materials anyway?
Yeah, if you're a software developer with the right job skills who's personable enough to fit in with a team.

But tell that to the soon-to-be-homeless dev who posted this morning, tell that to people who aren't in our industry, tell it to minimum-wage earners, tell that to people in Bumbleshit, Nebraska.
Do I need to play Witcher 1 and 2 first?
Oh, it does allow you to add buttons to panels. It doesn't allow you to add area types, dialogs and tabs in the properties area.

Also there is no such thing as a button callback in Blender UI. The only thing you can do is insert a button which calls an "operator". You can define your own operators of course, but this only works as long as you don't want to generate the buttons dynamically. Then you'd have to generate operators dynamically, and things only go downhill from there...
Because they'll just chase you around with laws regardless. That attempt to avoid the law through cleverness would generate news and sensationalism. That would spur a government response, because if there's anything politicians hate, it's attempts to circumvent their power. You're better off working within the system and trying to negotiate them down or into a different regulatory framework, than waving a flag at the bulls.
How about "floating balloon launch loop"?

I am asking you, what do you think is Unix-like about iOS?

I have already said what makes it not Unix-like -- it is missing the normal Unix user interface which is part of every Unix-like OS and defined in various standards such as Posix. For example, here is the definition of `ls` according to the Posix standard: https://www.unix.com/man-page/posix/1posix/ls

I am not disputing that the kernel API is Unix-like, however the syscall API is only one pretty small part of the complete OS.

The Posix standard is basically the definition in my mind of what it means for an operating system to be "Unix-like". Which is why I am asking what your definition is, since it seems to be fundamentally different.
>Or, if you really want to influence change and impact the country, staying in a dark blue state and living within an ideological bubble isn't going to change anything.

I have several repos of text-file based validators that members of the public contribute to. They don't understand git, so it's handy to be able to edit on the website.

Deus Ex was there in 2000, no big, open spaces and vehicles like modern open world games but political intrigue over and beyond Neuromancer and the hacking and body modification were integral parts of gameplay, System Shock 2 had those hacking/body mod gameplay features as well in 1999 but in space, so there are some great ones out there if you don't mind older games and if they run on a system you have.
I think this is incorrect. It reminds me of The Simpsons' joke about Bill Gates, ("buy him out boys ... what, did you think I got rich by writing a bunch of checks?").

Harvard doesn't need anybody's money, but they sure aren't going to use endowment money to make things free. They want your money, regardless of whether or not they need it, whether it's a huge status-signaling donation or a drop in the ocean semester's worth of tuition. They absolutely are trying to optimize how to get that money, now and in the future.

I also think you underestimate how much big scions of generational wealth compete for status symbols like Harvard degrees. Once things become decoupled from money, that type of status signaling only increases in importance, lending legitimacy to the children of foreign rulers and diplomats, acting as a currency to normalize political relations with western countries or between corporations with vastly different political party affiliations.

Harvard sells status, and absolutely is looking at how to monetize that. If offering a pittance of tuition relief to underrepresented groups helps maintain their entrenched brand status, they'll do it because of the long term effect on their ability to monetize reputation, not in spite of.

It also reminds me of how Harvard absolutely hounds graduates for donations, despite utterly not needing them by comparison to what Harvard Management Corporation does. Mike Reiss (Simpsons writer and Harvard alum) skewered this in [0], saying among other things,

> "Harvard is like a bum who starts bugging you for spare change on the bus. And then follows you around for the rest of your life. Oh, and that bum already has $40 billion in the bank."

What's the connection you see between this article and this question?

Leaving the UNHRC (not to be confused with the UNHCR as someone noted below, they're not a bad choice AFAIK if you are looking for a charitable organizations helping refugees to give to) doesn't seem to be a sign of the decline of western liberal democracy.

The council has issued more condemnations of Israel than it has issued condemnations of every other country in the world combined. Leaving is about rejecting that set of priorities. Not to say that those priorities are wrong, but obviously the US leadership does not agree that Israel should be the subject of so much of the councils time.
Who’s going to buy the US-made components if the manufacturers that use those products have already moved to China because of the tariffs?
It's not like Europe doesn't have marginalized populations. Your argument is basically "if you exclude the parts of the US population that are worst treated by our healthcare system, then ours is the best!" There is something meaningful in comparing the "median" or "modal" health experience in different countries, but "we treat black people badly compared to white people in the USA so you have to only look at white statistics" is a terrible defense of the system.

Your point about infant mortality statistics being gamed is on point, though (and I pointed it out in a sibling commment).
I'm guessing IDE is more off a signal of intent for now.
"The original idea came from staff developer Jacob Schatz, who observed how non-developers were having a hard time editing multiple files and getting those changes committed."
