I kinda agree that American urbanity is not for families. However, Soviet/Post-Soviet is just fine. I live in a big city in Central Asia, and our schools get better the closer you get to the urban core, the neighborhoods get more affluent, there is a lot of large communal areas between houses, crime is low, parks and recreation areas are clean etc.

I used to be subscribe to the Economist until it became clear that is has transformed itself into the propaganda machine of the financial elite.

It is owned by the Roschilds and every single day looks more despaired and afraid of the current economic situation. They want to shoehorn their rich owners solutions to the crisis so they remain unscathed in their wealth, while the rest of the population loses most of it.

One of the most craziest thing those rich guys are doing is financing with hundreds of millions of euros the immigration of Africans into Europe, like the 60 million euro Soros gave to a "humanitarian society" that does most of the travel form Africa to Europe.

There are more things in life than money, like culture, and people are starting to strongly react to the ipositions of those rich elites, Brexit and Trump are consecuences, but they are just the start.

There is a huge debt in the world that will be never paid, and the capital destruction that is coming is not going to be pretty.

Cyberduck[1] was what I moved to after the FileZilla installer on Sourceforge forced me to wipe & reinstall Windows a few years back. It's available for MacOS and Windows, GPL3 licensed[2] and worked great for me at the time. I've since moved to Linux so I haven't been able to play around with any of the newer features/versions but it would be the first thing I tried if I switched back today. Definitely recommend taking a look.

FWIW Google will sign BAAs with HIPAA-covered entities. Several of their services are popular in the industry, including Google Docs.

This is at least the second time that tap dripping was involved in a scientific study.

The first that I know of is when some Santa Cruz (hippie capital) students set up electronics to record the timing of drips for a paper. They were going to break the pattern down to understand it. They tried and tried but the pattern always seemed random.

With the help of other researchers they discovered it was caused by chaos. This was the first time that chaos theory was described, although Feynman had noticed that some equations behaved weirdly when banging on his calculator.
Disagree. Like humans, some have high ambitions and some don't. This is why there are leaders.

Personally I think that works and gives you all of the "edit-locally" benefits (Accessibility, hotkeys, versions, distributed/backed up etc). What that doesn't give you is a few other important features.

Woah there. I think a lot of these need citations. While it's true that .NET had async/await in 2007 (F#, AFAIK), Microsoft open-sourcing things isn't that old. From what I can see, their most popular open-source projects are TypeScript (Oct 2012, so 5 years ago), and VSCode (Apr 2015, so 3 years ago). .NET Core was Nov 2014, also 3 years ago. Cynically, you might say they released VSCode and .NET Core because VS and .NET were dying slow deaths, maybe the same can be said for TypeScript, because JavaScript/web dev cannibalized Microsoft's markets.

Meanwhile, the interesting technologies, especially relating to web development, ops/deployment, or data storage and processing are first-class citizens in Linux (and macOS gets a free ride, because POSIX and desktop). Most of them don't use Java , but enough do: Lucene/ElasticSearch, Cassandra (and probably DynamoDB, even if it isn't OSS), Hadoop, Neo4j, Kafka, and more.

It's not even close. Please understand I'm not hating on C#, or saying Java was why these things are successful (definitely not), but I think it helps to understand the eco-systems surrounding both C# and Java. C# may be a nice language, and may be able to run on Linux. In 2005 (C# 2.0) it was almost revolutionary, but now it's just another language. Meanwhile everybody else has been learning and using the other languages to build great things - distinctly without Microsoft.
Yeah, it's a little weird. Metaprogramming is apparently only a virtue if you're using a dynamic language. Personally I like being able to throw @Repository on an Interface and get paginated CRUD operations for free. I like being able to take any JPQL query, put it in an @Query annotation, and if I decided I want sorting and pagination later, I just change the return type to Page<T> and add an extra parameter for the pagination info. I like being able to write unit tests against those repositories by just adding a @DataJpaTest annotation to my test class. This stuff saves a considerable amount of time, and it's certainly better than the experience I've had in Go or even in Python with Flask.

One could argue that this was tried on a micro scale with the EU. While there is an argument to be made that it did bring some economic growth but nothing near as close to the growth advertised by the economist.
> I live in literally the most diverse area of the US, and no, people from South America and Ohio really aren't different at all.

Maybe you should leave your echo chamber every once in a while. I also live in the most diverse area of my nation, and while it is all fun and games when I am around well educated, well mannered people from different countries it is less fun when I have to cross the street in a diverse area with less high educational standards. The former by the way are already eligible to cross the border at any time (because they are legally able to obtain a visa) the latter aren't and really shouldn't.

That said, the cultural differences in the Americas might be less grave than Europe and the Middle East, or the U.S. and the Middle East for example. It really boils down to religion and education (in most cases), both of which are pretty similar in the Americas.
What perplexes me is that there are now even more competing messaging services than ever before. This suggests to me that none have won.
What really blows my mind is how overcomplicated so many organisations manage to make these CRUD apps by bolting together as many technologies as humanly possible. I'm sure it's probably boredom that drives people to it, but for me the frustration that results from having to work on these bloated and overcomplicated systems is worse, and I think strongly damaging to businesses.

My own impression, which has only grown stronger with the passage of years, is that if you did the totally necessary CRUD stuff as simply as possible, that would open up opportunities to tech-enable businesses in much more interesting and profitable ways. But, of course, that would involve delaying gratification, and often doesn't play to the prevailing politics.

Interesting software jobs do exist but, boy, do you have to hunt for them.
Funny, I have actually used this one, the 4 means 4 OPAMPs in a single chip. IIRC there's also the TL082 with 2 OPAMPs.

Much more performant than the 741 (might have to do with 2 things: the 741 came early and was one of the pioneers and it is BJT only)

It's also curious how the the big butterfly transistors are at the input, components with a big die size are usually big for a reason (usually power).

One extra fact, the compensation capacitors are more like a wrench on gears and actually make the circuit "worse" (it lowers the overall bandwidth). But it is needed for stability purposes because good amplifiers will have a tendency to oscillate by themselves.
It might be. But I am pretty sure that 90% of that will accrue richest 1% people or to those who work for them in important positions.

Honest question,but am I the only one who find really hard to read and follow quite big golang projects?

Maybe is true that I can understand what is happening in every single line of code in my screen, what I found really hard is to understand how those line interact with the rest of the code base.

I honestly believe that there are some part of the code base that should manage the low level stuff like managing files, writing to buffers or interact with the file system and other part that should compose/manage/move those low level parts.

Using go and its focus on "simplicity" it feels like these basic abstraction fall apart and that in every part of the code base I can find something doing quite low level stuff.

I find go quite good for small, self contained projects but honestly I believe that big projects like docker could benefit more from a more structured approach.

Am I the only one feeling this pain?

There's a significant culture difference between us then. My experience is the opposite. I've never seen that. Not saying it doesn't exist, but it's strange to me. I don't doubt that a group can be useful or interesting. In fact I've joined expat groups through meetup.com when I was traveling abroad for months at a time and completely understand the benefits. It's just the idea of having it associated with the corporation I find odd.

Yes, there are confounding variables; population density in particular jumps out. But once you acknowledge that population density has enough negative causal impact through various channels on native fertility to be worth explicitly controlling for, you've already rejected mozumder's model: what effect does immigration have on population density?

I don't know if there's a single word, but a closely related concept is Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy.

"Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization."
Yeah, a similar ruling established the "RAM Copy Doctrine". The judges ruled that an upstart computer repair company didn't have the right to use the software of their former employer, even though they possessed disks that had previously-legally-obtained copies of the software. This was effected by considering the copy from the hard media into the system memory an infringement.

In context, that case is debatable but not patently ridiculous. However, for the last 30 years, BigCos and their $1000/hr lawyers have cited this "RAM Copy doctrine" that says copies of protected works into system memory are separate acts of infringement to bully anyone whose right to use some digital thing has come into question, claiming that they're owed money for each and every time the item in question has been loaded from disk into memory.

They use this to double-dip on scrapers, too. You may or may not get nicked for CFAA violations and/or issues with the way that you obtain data, but regardless of how you obtain it, they will try to count every time you've loaded the data into memory as a separate act of infringement.

Your conclusion seems right to me. The way that we extrapolate these rulings just doesn't jive with the pace of technological advancement.
I think confounded makes some good points.
This refers to a PR event that DigitalOcean participated in back in early December 2017, < https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171201005267/en/Dig... >.

By the sound of this article, it makes me suspect DigitalOcean doesn’t really do any machine learning (here they paid for a marketing piece 7 months later?).

Not that they need to: they are a great cloud provider. I wonder why they need to do this for marketing. If the goal is to say, look how we used 1-click for this PR fluff, will that really be attractive to the sort of enterprise ML customers who would possibly care? And why 7 months later?
> Do you still feel these digital signatures are irrelevant to making better credit risk decisions?

Yes, absent a credible theory as to why a particular characteristic could reasonably be linked to loan performance.

Otherwise, it's too likely the model could fall prey to confusing correlation with causation.
For all the legal scholars:

1. Aren't death records public?

2. Would anyone else have a claim to knowledge of the deceased's real name? (ex: if "Lyle Stevik" didn't pay his hotel bill)
So answering questions like "is this an array" is as simple as reading the C code to determine that.

If only. Here's the original function definition:

void insertion_sort(int const n, int * const p)

"p" is really an array. But C doesn't know that. Rust needs to know.

Around 2010, I proposed an extension to C [1] in which you'd write that as

void insertion_sort (int const n, int& p[n])

Instead of a pointer, you'd use a reference to an array. Same calling sequence - the compiler passes a pointer. But with enough info that the callee knows the array size. Rust needs that info to do its job. Somehow, you have to get that info into a C to Rust translator.

Removal of undefined behavior is an explicit goal of Zig, in fact, and I see Zig as a stronger target for automatic C conversion since the semantics are intentionally closer to C. Still possible to trivially footgun, but the compiler tries to catch more edge cases.

There's definitely a space for code that can't be borrow checked, at any rate.

Yes, I have considered that. It doesn't appear to be true.

If it was, cases like Rahman's would not have happened. After moving from Bangladesh as a young person, and becoming surrounded by political stability and economic opportunity, he would have adopted western values and become an ordinary politician. So would the people in Tower Hamlets, which has a very large Bangladeshi immigrant population.

In fact what happened was this:

• He engaged in massive election fraud, including buying votes, organising large numbers of faked votes, bribery, buying support of local Bangladeshi TV channels, intimidating witnesses and doubling council funding to local Bengali charities in return for their political support.

• He did this so successfully that he won a local election that was found (years later) so riven with corruption that it was declared by a judge to be entirely void and would have to be re-run from scratch.

• He also gained votes by telling Muslim voters that his political opponent was racist and that voting for him was an "Islamic duty".

• He was kicked out of the Labour party for having links with an extremist group.

• He benefited from a group of "enforcers", people attached to youth organisations funded by his council, who would visit and intimidate any Bangladeshi who spoke out against the mayor. This included threatening to burn down the houses of witnesses during the corruption trial.

• He has also been accused of extensive mortgage fraud and tax evasion.

Corruption, bribery, intimidation of voters, stuffing ballot boxes, buying political support, exploiting religion and race to gain support - these are all the sorts of behaviours strongly associated with third world countries like Bangladesh, but they showed up in the UK in the modern era too, even with people who moved as children.

If values were created by the environment, then this wouldn't happen (unless you consider the cultural effects of immigrants who pool together in the same areas to be able to overwhelm the cultural effects of the new host country).

IRC being awful doesn't automatically make current alternatives not awful. I use IRC within my expectations, just as I do with other services.

Just because I expect a certain demographic in IRC doesn't mean I exclude myself from interacting with other ones too.

Without engaging the parent comment directly, the IRC user demographic is no longer average but that's okay. Average is also okay - there's room in this world for both.

That is awesome and I'm glad you are working to clean up the Sourceforge reputation. However, the issue (at least for me) is one of shattered trust. Even though you can affirm the Filezilla downloads you host don't have malicious payloads in the installer, I no longer trust the creator of Filezilla. If he's scummy enough to fill up his "bundled" installer with known malware and viruses, and then lie to his users about it on his forum, he's scummy enough to put something potentially harmful in the program itself.

It would be trivial to integrate a hidden Monero or other coin miner in the source of the main Filezilla program that only runs when the program itself is running. I know I often leave my FTP going overnight for uploading big files (I have really fast downstream but painfully slow upstream) and that's a lot of time for my machine to be surreptitiously mining for someone else. Multiply that by the hundred of thousands if not millions of Filezilla users across all platforms, and you have the potential for a ton of illicitly gained virtual money at your users' expense.
