>Anyone has better explanations?

Important to note: there were no charge for him for all that time. That means they had very weak case. They might be specifically waiting for him to do at least that: just look how they accent that he "bought red flag last minute ticket" as if he knew he did something wrong. This also supports the idea that they had no proof of him doing what amounts to criminal industrial espionage (passing data to another company.)

Another standing out fact is that he was arrested minutes before boarding (he passed the border.) If he would be on exit control list, he would never be allowed pass the border. It means he was not nor on exit control list (people on it include convicts on probation, tax debitors, persons against whom a restraining order was issued i.e. people under investigation of a crime,) nor on the on-the-run list of criminals (he would've been detained immediately)

Third, how FBI ever knew of him buying a ticket? US is not East Germany where all ticket sales are wired to STASI in real time.

My explanation: they did not have anything qualifying for a charge on him till that "last minute ticket purchase" which added more substance to allegations of criminal conduct.

This is supported by the fact that he was detained "minutes before boarding." Probably, it was only the fact of him passing the border control that was visible to FBI, the moment they saw it, they came with a rushed arrest warrant.

When sorting on disk, there are actually limitations in sorting linear time. Has to do with being able to read blocks in memory and write them back to disk. As everything is in blocks, you are limited to O(n/B log(n/B)) with B being the amount of items per block. For more speed, a merge sort that keeps in mind the block size works quite well. Search for external sorting.
ROS is not a particularly good implementation of this concept though. And it tends to encourage extremely fine splitting of jobs, which basically just turns your robotics problem into a distributed robotics problem, making it much harder in the process (as well as less efficient).

This also seems like it'd be RISC-V's problem too. ARM is, from what I understand, pretty cost-competitive - they're not a big fat high-profit behemoth ripe for disruption like say Intel. As it stands, I think the only companies that can save money with RISC-V are the ones with enough volume, staff, and specialised needs to take their chip design entirely inhouse without using the services of companies like SiFive and who also don't need compatibility with the existing software ecosystem.
I really dislike when people make arguments along the lines of "it works, why are you complaining".

It's not about convenience it's about how some of us things should be.
Which is that (at the very least scientific) knowledge should be free and open and accessible and we don't see why a private company should be making huge profits (and even worse influence the direction of science) while they are offering almost nothing in return.

There would be replacements but they wouldn't have staying power. Twitter works because there's only one. Powerful people in the world can use it to monitor popular opinion on any topic. So its main role today in the lives of young people is political in nature. It allows them to come together and deliver a message to the establishment in a way that no other institution in society does. Think about the difference between Occupy Wall Street and #MeToo. People complain a lot about Twitter witch hunts, but that just shows you that Twitter movements actually get results. I can't think of a single goal from the Occupy movements that was met. The thing is that Twitter does not encourage dialogue or cooperation across subcultures of people. So likely, if Twitter were gone, each community would come up with its own replacement, and the powers that be would have no use for those.

"Shanghai Electric Group, one of the country's largest electrical equipment makers, has announced plans to build coal power plants in Egypt, Pakistan and Iran with a total capacity of 6,285 megawatts — almost 10 times the 660 megawatts of coal power it has planned in China." So yea china is still building some coal but not that much looking at actual production presents a different story.

I enjoy cheat sheets as much as the next person but I think folks are missing out the key element that there's significant benefit in making them yourself.
Also that "Meta cheatsheet" sounds like a cheatsheet for something called "Meta", and not being familiar with any such technology, I wouldn't be curious about a cheatsheet.
My thoughts on this, too: If I were to pull a stunt like this in my industry, I'm pretty sure I'd be gone the next day.

As for disciplinary actions: From an outside perspective, I think we can't really tell if there wasn't any internal dialog prior to the firings. If you look at her follow-up statements, I kind of doubt Price would have shown any remorse when asked about the incident internally...

Edit: So, to say this more explicitly (since we're on the internet here): I don't think the outside public will ever have all the necessary facts to be able to judge if the firings were justified or not; especially since that decision alone is highly subjective.

Many quit at that point because they don't have the time or motivation for it, and there very few clubs that only do "fun amateur league" at that age.

This process of helping such people identify that they have a problem, that they are behaving in an unacceptable way and then fixing it is a good thing.

I have a different proposal - ligatures.

I don't know if you've ever played with a font like FiraCode, but it gives you both fancy typographical symbols and compatibility with existing compilers by defining purely-visual translations between certain sequences of characters and purpose-built glyphs. So for example '!=' is rendered as '≠', '=>' as '⇒', '>=' as '≥', etc.

See https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode. They do go a bit overboard, IMO.

Because debugging is not a first-class activity.

If you are careful when you program (assertions, tests, logging) you rarely need to use a debugger. Time spend on a debugger is invisible and lost. It is much better to spend time adding assertions, levels of logging, and writing tests.
Don't forget the timing in regards to adjacent headlines in the feed at any moment a user reads it.

From Filesystems to CRUD and Beyond
While Lovelock himself distances himself from any interpretations of Gaia as either creationist (as in the Earth was "created" to be perfectly balanced) or that the Earth is literally alive (like the planet in the book/movie "Solaris"), it is clear that both interpretations are easy misconceptions for people to make, and are in part responsible for the popularity of the "Gaia Hypothesis" in popular culture.

The actual case it is just turns out that a set of lots of independently evolving organisms just happen to have emergent properties of stability as a system. That's interesting to a degree, but using a hypothesis of the Earth as a single organism is not the most helpful way to get that idea across.

The problem is not micro services. The problem is that company's engineering leadership could not lead their way out of a paper bag.

Micro services is an extremely powerful pattern which solves a bazillion critical issues most important ones being:

* separation of concerns

* ability of different teams maintain, develop and reiterate on different subsystems independently from each other

* loose coupling of the subsystems

Do you have auth server that your API accesses using auth.your.internal.name which does not share its code base with the API? You have a micro service.

Do you have a profile service that is responsible for the extra goodies on a profile of a user that the rest of the API business logic does not care about?

You have a micro service. Do you spin up some messaging layer in a cloud that knows a few things about the API but really is only concerned with passing messages around? You have a micro service.

The alternative is that you have a single code base and a single app that starts with ENV_RUNMODE=messaging or ENV_RUNMODE=API or ENV_RUNMODE=website and ENV_RUNMODE=auth ( except in the case of auth it only implements creation/changes of the new entries and a change of passwords but not validation as the validation is done by the code in any ENV_RUNMODE by accessing the auth database directly with read-write privilege and no one ever implemented deletion of the entries from the authentication database. Actually, even that would be an good step - there's no auth database because that would require knowing the mode we are running in and managing multiple sets of credentials so instead it is simply another table in a single database that stores everything )

That is the alternative to micro services. So I would argue that unless Segment has that kind of architecture it does not have a monolith. It implements a sane micro services pattern.

Should the engineering be lead by a blind squirrel that once managed to find a nut, in a winter, three years ago, the sane micro services pattern would be micro serviced even more -- I call it nanoservice pattern aka LeftPad as a service. We aren't seeing it much yet but as Go becomes bigger and bigger player in shops without excellent engineering leadership I expect to see it more and more due to Go giving developers tools to gRPC between processes.

I changed to BitWarden to handle my low-level net passwords, and that’s perfectly adequate.
