I’ve seen companies do it for years. There is both an MSBuild plug-in and an Nunit plug-in for Jenkins.

I really hope no one in 2018 is using whatever Microsoft’s old version control system is with TFS. TFS has had first class support for git for years.

As far as AWS, using CodeBuild and CodeDeploy, AWS has provided a .Net Core Docker Build image for Linux for awhile (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/build...)

They just recently added Windows support for CodeBuild, they have a prebuilt image for .Net Core for Windows and they have instructions for how to create a .Net framework image (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/05/aws-codeb...)

I had never used Docker before and I was able to create the .Net Framework Docker image following their instructions.

For deployment, AWS has a code deploy agent for Windows and Linux. There is no “support” for any language. Just a yml file that you use to specify the batch files/Shell scripts you want to run during each stage. Actually the same is true for CodeBuild. You just specify the commands you want to run in a yml file and the output srtifacts.
That's a bit strange. Can you please send us a note at sales@jetbrains.com and my colleagues have a look and merge accounts for your convenience? Thanks!

You can't generalise about books. Old textbooks at a low academic level, or especially old guides to computer software, don't have a lot of intellectual value. Of course we don't want to completely lose the knowledge of what those genres of book were like (from a given period, say the 80s) but they have little practical value. They can no longer serve their original purpose, which was dissemination of useful ideas.

I agree. However, at my own wedding I insisted there should be a cake. This is basically the only thing I insisted on - I kept saying that we're not actually married unless there's a cake.

Because weddings are complicated, I'm pretty sure I never got a slice of that cake.
Having a whiff of human decency is not hyper-moralising, it's really just having a whiff of human decency.

> google employees' attempts to sabotage the company's business prospects.

So having concerns about people getting killed for their opinions and whatnot is "hyper-moralising", but having concerns about "backstabbing" your employer isn't. Gotcha.

And it's not even backstabbing. When a friend of yours has a really horrible idea -- and that is putting it hyper-mildly in this context -- you are being more of a friend to them when you try to stop them.
>Google fights major world powers every day

That's right, if by 'fight' you mean following rules laid out in countries that it operates in. If the rules are completely skewed against them (and other foreign companies) as they are in China, they have no recourse other than to appeal to their government to lobby on their behalf.

Facebook is in a similar position with respect to Russian interference. The narrative pushed by people like Kara Swisher of Recode is that Facebook should have fought a major world power with limitless resources for cyber attacks and because they didn't they are responsible for the damage, instead of demanding to know why the previous and present American administrations allowed an American company and public be harassed by a belligerent foreign power.

>Google can simply choose not to partner with repressive regimes in enabling and legitimizing censorship and mass surveillance.

And you can choose not to buy Chinese-made products and thereby no longer support and legitimize a repressive regime ... but hey, here we are.

Closeness-building hostility towards Emmanual Goldstein is literally a plot element of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
I believe that doesn't satisfy the definitions of the word value. Per https://www.dictionary.com/browse/value?s=t

1. relative worth, merit, or importance:
the value of a college education; the value of a queen in chess.

2. monetary or material worth, as in commerce or trade:
This piece of land has greatly increased in value.

3. the worth of something in terms of the amount of other things for which it can be exchanged or in terms of some medium of exchange.

The key words here are "relative", "trade", and "exchange". Just because something is mandatory for an organism's survival or well-being, it does not mean that the organism is able to attribute value to it. For example, an animal would be unable to say what they'd be willing to trade for the grass they eat for survival, nor how much grass they'd be willing to give up to make the trade, and vice versa.

EliRivers shows a few links that present examples where various animals demonstrate ability to attribute value. I'm not sure that it's "value" that they're contemplating when they make their decision though. In the first link, all the examples are 1-for-1 trades, albeit displaced by time. In the second link, the parrots may come close to doing what's described, though I wonder if it's simply a case of the parrot not preferring to eat pecans anymore after having tasted cashews.

I once adopted a street cat and the first thing I fed her was some sausage snack I bought from the convenience store right by where the cat was. She ate the sausage snack voraciously and happily. A few years later after feasting on various types of the best cat food, I went and bought that same sausage snack for nostalgia's sake. My cat would not even touch it. After having a long conversation with my cat about me thinking that she didn't appreciate the early days of our relationship and her thinking that I was being condescending and inappropriate, I threw the sausage snack out and gave her proper cat food, which she promptly ate. I am very sure that the one that was not in her mind was what value the sausage snack had to her. I venture that if I starved her, she'd eat the sausage snack out of desperation, but I don't think that has anything to do with how much she values the sausage snack.

Or maybe the parrot is able to attribute different amounts of value to different nuts, who knows?
> Having a libsomeghing and a something-cli and something-gui is a perfectly good solution

That's what he proposes?

> This means your program should be runnable both with and without the

I as a private individual take responsibility for what companies I do business with, and what those companies do. A company claiming an imperative to stockholders does not excuse me, by my own personal moral standard, from investing in such a company.

Also, I'm sure a number of google employees, and the population in general feel this way. When their engineers have to answer for building the mental handcuffs for China, it may not quite be the bragging right it once was.
There's really solid evidence that increasing classroom time increases learning.

Of course, people haven't yet gotten the idea that we should try to accomplish sufficient learning with minimum classroom time.
Warren is not a great thinker on Economics issues.

This is very cool but unfortunately it looks a bit rough in Solarized Dark since some of the output defaults to black text.

Suggestion: configurable text colors. You already have a config file. I may try to hack it together myself later - if I get it working I'll make a PR.

Overall though this is a cool idea and looks very well executed. Nice work!
Thomas Jefferson was a complicated person, like many people throughout history, but that doesn't mean we should forget about him. There is no need to scrub history for people we don't like or disagree with. Instead, we should shine a light on all of his negative aspects, while also celebrating things that he got right during his lifetime.

There was another hn post a week or two ago, about how China is basically taking over the world, and could leave the USA in it's dust.

Google, may be aware of this 'transition', which is a scary one, considering the 'big brother' scheme they have in China, but if China becomes the king of the world, Google and many other companies will have to play ball to stay viable.

I'm reminded of a commercial where Americans are speaking Chinese, and there are also I think Japanese commercials that show poverty and feature American kids. Kind of disconcerting, and dystopian, but not out of the realm of imagination.
I wear 3M Peltor X5A earmuffs, rated at -37 dB (European version). It seems to be the highest rated earmuff on Earth in 2018. It's not particularly heavy, but if you have a big head, it might create a bit of a pressure over time. It doesn't completely block the voices, but it "muffs" them down to something that disappears eventually if you don't actively listen for it.

Agree with all your points. I am wondering what justification Sergey,Larry will give for this. If they took good ethical decisions, they would gain more respect from people. I read the book The Google Guys when I was 13 (now 20). Larry,Sergey were the first 2 people i sorta idolized. Been a Google fanboy mainly due to their incredibe R&D,STEM focus. Now, i feel sad. Obviously, not gonna defend bad actions but it's difficult to overcome that bias,fanboyism cultivated over the years.
I also wonder why Larry,Sergey are so out of action. They should have at least been more public till they're about 50 years old.
Weird thought: maybe somehow Google will help overthrow the communist govt in China in the future.
The fact that this news makes so many people sad is evidence of the fact that we expect better from Google.

I’m not even disagreeing with the fact that some emojis can be misunderstood (especially cross-culturally and when they are displayed very differently on devices) but you can’t just link 3 news stories covering the same study as if you’ve found a mountain of evidence to support your claims.
I believe it also depends on the environment around the school. In a third-world country, I'd probably prefer being safely indoors at school and in contact with friends, with free time if needed, than in a sketchy area without being able to see many friends. In a rich European country, there's enough public infrastructure (public transport, libraries, parks, etc.) that I'd probably prefer to be outside.
Summary of growing risks w/ageing bikes on the road, some built to exacting standards, others with lesser standards, and failing from hidden flaws or damage.

One inaccuracy is about carbon fiber composites fatigue, which is not the same as metal -- completely different profile for properly engineered & built carbon. While metal continually flexed below it's failure load will fatigue and fail under reduced load, that doesn't happen w/ carbon. However, metals generally fail somewhat progressively with bend/distortion/etc., carbon fiber will fail catastrophically when it's load limits are exceeded.

Absolutely. Most of this extra time ("wraparound time") is not necessarily structured class/tutoring time but unstructured time allowing kids to explore things like art or even play in a safe environment.
If the kids we're coming from stable, supportive home environments where learning can take place outside the classroom, you might be right. But those aren't the target students for the program; IMO the student's from rough home lives will almost assuredly benefit from this model.

To my knowledge, even in existing legal systems financial laws are given much more leeway than other areas of the law. This is generally due to the well-founded belief that people working in the financial industry are going to find loopholes, and therefore many tax laws are non-specific. Compare to how some internet forums have rules along the lines of "don't be a jerk".

I am under the impression that Canada, for instance, has a law that basically says "if you do something just for the tax benefit we reserve the right to call you out".

Germany here. Have been to several weddings including my own, the cake was always real. Typically 1-3 tiers depending on the crowd, the first slice is traditionally shared by the groom and bride (feeding each other) after cutting, then the rest is cut and served by staff.

That said, the fondant and icing is pretty disgusting and the cake itself is usually just "okay", but cake is cake.
In American English, "Asian" is a shorthand for "East Asian". In British English, "Asian" is a shorthand for "South Asian".

For example, i don't think there is anyone with an East Asian background in Asian Dub Foundation. And the Asian Cultural Centre in Oxford distinguishes between four kinds of Asian ethnicity, all South Asian, and Chinese:

http://www.asianculturalcentre.org.uk/new.htm

So i tend to think that this usage is not a mistake, but an idiom which differs across the Atlantic.
You're still pretending like your kids or those other peoples' kids might get together and fix climate change. I'm saying it's too late for that.

Having kids is just condemning them to live in a world ravaged by famine, war and drought. Maybe you're fine with that because you believe on some philosophical level that any life is preferable to never having lived at all, but that's not self-evident.
