It appears that people on GitHub hate bullshit. And why wouldn't they? Most of them are engineering types. Docker added bullshit to the action chain of acquiring their only product. Then to really seal the deal, they lied about the reasoning with some marketing fluff bullshit. On GitHub of all places. Things that engineers appreciate: good data, transparent systems, no bullshit. Docker is 0 for 3.

They have badly misread their users, and they are paying for it. There's not much else to the story.
Their primary election constituencies demand it. Arguably a more democratic process in the primaries has given more power to fringe voters who show up, and taken power away from the elitism but stabilizing process found in caucusing. As the motivated extreme participants win primaries, you see polarized general elections, and polarized governing strategies.

Whatever complaints you have about elected officials, they represent a constituency of rabid primary voters, and a lot of PAC money.

Either improve primary election participation; or eliminate primaries (next to impossible, the parties own the state defined election process which includes the primary system) in favor of range or preferential voting or even old school run offs; or revert to party elites having more say in primaries.
Indeed. We can tinker with diets and nag people to eat less until the cows come home, but humans are engineered to do physical activity at least half the day and that's not easy to replace.
The crudeness of the accusations has raised the Russians to some kind of James Bond villain organization status...

NATO has been suffocating their borders, steadily advancing, bombing around, creating proxy states (Kossovo), influencing "orange revolutions", and operating tons of political groups and NGOs in Russia and tons of army bases around Russia. Including tons of sponsored reporting on all mainstream media (not just an obvious state outlet like RT which the Russian government has).

And it is Russia that's made into the "villain du jour" based on BS like "hacking the democratic emails" etc, as an excuse for the democrats that have made a mess for themselves by cutting off their better candidate, and offering a Wall Street pawn nobody really likes in his place...

The same old hypocrisy of colonialism and Cold War. Which never ended, apparently. Even back in 1996:

"The outcome was by no means inevitable. Last winter Yeltsin's approval ratings were in the single digits. There are many reasons for his change in fortune, but a crucial one has remained a secret. For four months, a group of American political consultants clandestinely participated in guiding Yeltsin's campaign. Here is the inside story of how these advisers helped Yeltsin achieve the victory that will keep reform in Russia alive."

Perhaps the compiled output of jaotc is not suitable for distribution, but is intended more as an equivalent of ngen in .NET?

JEP 295 says: "AOT compilation must be executed on the same system or a system with the same configuration on which AOT code will be used by Java application."
We're loading all public-facing resources - so posts, tags, authors and importantly the relations between them - in as few queries as possible, using fairly typical where...in queries in order to build the relations. SQLite uses variables for in queries, and so sites with a lot of content triggered the "more than 999 variables" error.

Solvable, of course, but quite an interesting limitation to discover!
While there is some truth to what Ariana says, scientifically, and she gives one example from FDR, who was a manufacturer of ideas, I would argue the most difficult tasks in history were achieved through the strength of will.

I'd also observe Elon is paying the price for setting out to do something extremely difficult, and though it appears that he's losing right now, he'll come out on top as long as he stays the course. Taking a long vacation, though it may be the best thing for Elon's health, is arguably not the best thing for the company right now. A long weekend is probably in order, but I hope Mr. Musk can find the strength to keep doing what he's doing because it's working (sans the late night tweets and poor choice of Grimes' so-called friends).
No, this from next series and has a happy ending /s
He does say these things - time and again! But in less formal speeches he rolls with the audience and often says things that sound pretty dumb when taken out of context. And some things that are pretty dumb even in context. In any case the media has plenty of dumb things to pick from. And they generally choose to spend 100% of their time on the dumb things and 0% on the meat of the issues. And thus when you rely on the media to inform you, it makes it look like his arguments are based on the dumb things, exactly as this article tries to do.

Here [1] is the video, from the point his comments from this thread. It was just a hoo-ra speech, not a policy discussion -- just going over his achievements and playing in with the crowd. By contrast here is a transcript from trump signing the executive order on 'energy independence' which he lays out his views and motivations for what he's doing. [2] Here's [3] it in video format if that's your thing.

Note how the post you're responding to is downvoted. We're turning into a society where people want to hate the 'other side', and of course this is true to all 'sides.' And the media is feeding into this, and likely hold some responsibility for it. And so it's becoming increasingly difficult to get anything like a meaningful discussion of any issue within the media. Instead, they (and again this holds equally true for both sides) simply try to evangelize as much as they can for one side while demonizing and working to humiliate the other side so much as possible. This is not a good environment for discussion of issues where people may, at some point, be forced to agree to disagree.

Sure, the bully should get corrected, but through normal corrective measure such as calling her in for a meeting. This is just absurd.

The only thing that works is meaningful consequences. This includes consequences for the institution - it's clear that there was a litany of complaints about the person, all of which went unheeded.

It’s a bit more complex than that. Yes it’s some really horrible advice they gave, but they gave it founded on the weird idea that had been hammered into their heads—that if they sent their child to a good school they would be successful in life.

The author acknowledges this. It’s akin to the American dream. I think getting the word out with pieces like this is a good step in the right direction.
Very great, this is something that you understand with experience. I would like to pick the habit of this. Any app dev will make this thing for android?
I remember the first time I had a panic attack it was in the middle of the night, I woke up believing there was a thought, an idea, that if I accidentally thought about it would kill me instantly. It was the weirdest thing, and scary too. Eventually, and through some great discussions with a counselor, I narrowed it down to the stress and anxiety of being a single earner, in a field (engineering) that had been known to change directions and leave everyone behind. I had lived through the semiconductor recession in the Bay Area and black Monday (1987) where the DOW jones had crashed. When the dot.com bubble burst, the fear, unspoken, was that the world would crash, I'd be out on the streets, and there would be no way for me to provide for my wife and family.

Oddly enough, a friend of mine suggested doing arithmetic in my head in a panic state, and it worked quite well for me. The theory was that you can't panic (fight or flight) reflex while your brain is in calculation mode. I don't know whether or not that is a valid theory but I do know that for me by focusing on a concrete problem (like trying to divide two 5 digit numbers) my sense of panic fades right away. In later years I found I could just read a text book, didn't really matter which one.

> But from Russia's perspective, why should it fully trust the West that was so recently its enemy, and when the attempted adoption of liberal democracy and capitalism in the 90s failed so spectacularly (Russia's GDP fell by a full 50% and life expectancy dropped by years

You say this is because of the failure of liberal democracy and capitalism but your citation says it was most likely caused by:

"rising poverty rates, unemployment, financial insecurity, and corruption"

Perhaps the Russian state should focus on addressing those issues instead of invading and trying to destabilise other countries.

> Not trying to shill or defend Russia's invasion of Crimea or Ukraine here, but if you just look at the map of a formerly hostile alliance moving steadily eastward and you were Russia, would you really just throw up your hands and say 'yes, that is how the world should be' and tacitly accept it?

Here you describe NATO as a hostile force but it's clear that the countries joining NATO were wise to do so as a defense against a hostile Russia.
>call her in for a meeting

A meeting? Like a disciplinary hearing?

>the ICR’s independent investigation deemed some of the allegations serious enough to warrant consideration at a disciplinary hearing”. However, Rahman resigned and the disciplinary hearing did not take place.
Plus false equivalence is a way of dismissing anything you can't support. Dems should be more likely to support this because it helps individuals. It also likely helps the whole business economy too.

Interesting. My current non-compete mentions 50% of my salary at date of termination for a year, and I'm pretty sure my previous non-competes had similar provision. Maybe I only worked with mostly "ethical" companies.
There is no replication attempt necessary. It wasnt a scientific experiment, it was little more then a publicity stunt.

The topic itself is extremely important. If anyone is in the situation to make a study with consenting subjects in those circumstances, which is rather hypothetical, they should much rather stick to original research.

I do agree, the replication crisis is an important topic, but it assumes the studies in question have at least an academic standard. If they dont, and its not publicly acknowledged in the field but instead celebrated, its a failure of the field itself.
what you've just described is very similar to the data management side of the platform I'm building. I can confirm that given event sourcing, idempotent mutation, and only adding new API endpoints, you're a long way towards what I would consider the ideal online software architecture. So many problems with API maintenance just go away with this approach.
"Don't hate the player, hate the game" is a pretty garbage excuse for behavior, and ends up leading to a pretty low bottom.
I came here to say the opposite. The states are doing what they can to limit damaging actions by the federal government. This is the system working for the people. Without the ability or interest from the states to push back against the federal government's decrees, we would be stuck with an authoritarian nation.

Currently, trying to pass meaningful legislation is like trying to squeeze a watermelon through a pinhole. That should certainly be addressed, but we can't ignore the current battle just to focus on the bigger war.
Innumeracy is at the core of a lot of strongly held political convictions. And I get the sense that some section of the population thinks it’s racist to consider any non-white nation a threat. Russia can be vilified without triggering any of those concerns in people who might find such thoughts repugnant - eg anti-Muslim or ethnocentric or racially tinged — if they were expressed towards other nations.
Doesn't the evidence show kind of the opposite thing?
This is exciting because the second generation standard environment allows Google App Engine to provide a more "idiomatic" experience.

Using gVisor, instead of NaCL, as the sandboxing technology, shipping new runtimes becomes a much more tractable task with less differences from the "plain" runtime. In fact, gVisor allows us to use the runtime unmodified.

This in turn, decreases the "lock-in". There are still decisions we need to make depending on the runtime, e.g. which package manager to use if there isn't a community default.

Hopefully, the narrative for "Serverless" moves beyond lambda and functions. Sometimes (!) we want apps, databases, caches and more to be "Serverless" :-)

Disclaimer: I work at Google, on the App Engine Runtimes team. I helped ship this

Automating SVG Icon Management with Sketch and Makefiles
The paperwork that realtors and title companies do is a joke. When we bought our house I signed close to a hundred documents. Many of which were the same. Some documents were repeated 3 or 4 times. It's all a game where they try to convince you how grand and thorough and official the whole processes is. It made me realize how incompetent the banks really are.
If you set it to medium you should get a smooth experience. You don't have to do anything I'd call "fiddling", and being optimized for a specific GPU is overrated (and not even true with the current consoles). Especially when you have a much better CPU.

> Of course if one pours 5x the amount of money into PC that would be spent on console, there needs to be some inner justification.

You can get a prettier and smoother experience if you do that and don't put the settings on super-ultra.

But also, if you're already going to have a computer, popping in a better-than-console GPU is cheaper than a console.

>Democrats don't claim to be "super-good" on free markets. Democrats would rather see fair treatment of employees and consumers, even if it makes the markets "less free".

One would think that fair treatment of workers and consumers would involve significantly more stringent enforcement of antitrust law. This is why I appreciate having Elizabeth Warren as our Senator: she has spent her life fighting for our basic interests on issues that weren't sexy enough to get a thousand-person protest march going.
I was more comparing to early 20th century works. There seemed to be a period where pages were expensive and authors more often felt the need to get to the point. Novels were considered long if they were more than an inch thick. The Lord of the Rings was considered epic length (it is dwarfed by a Song of Ice and Fire, especially if you count the unfinished works).

When you pick up a copy of Fahrenheit 451 one thing you notice is how thin it is. To Kill a Mockingbird is another example. There are plenty of others.

Now I wonder if that wasn't an indirect response to ponderous tomes like Moby Dick and War and Peace? Maybe the authors who grew up with those books realized that brevity was a virtue and learned to tamp back their natural urges to digress into long rambling and ultimately pointless interludes?
"they can be replaced by other companies as quickly as they were created by Twitter, Google, CloudFlare or Facebook."

You may not have Free Speech on the biggest platforms on the Internet today, but if you wait 15 years and are lucky, you may have it by then.

As arguments defending the status quo goes, that stinks.

(I'd sharpen my argument by saying "biggest and growing", but I'm not sure that's the case anymore. Facebook is definitely showing some signs that they've peaked, for instance. I'm not saying it has 100% happened, but it's a lot stronger of a claim now than it was even six months ago.)

You're right, it's an ATMega328P, not an ATMega328 like I said.

The ATMega's ADC is pretty slow, like 15ksps at full precision, so I can see why you'd think that!
What would a better solution look like, in your view?

Is it the third-party aspect that you take issue with, or the fact-checking? Or the combination of the two?
You are missing most of the point: ISP competition and tech competition are not dissimilar, and their placement in the product market is not dissimilar. They should be subject to the same regulations. But the tech companies pushing these regulations are strongly opposed to being subject to these same regulations.

Most people cannot easily leave tech companies easily, even if they believe they can. You actually can't leave Facebook, for instance, if you want to talk to your friends who are on Facebook. You can't leave Gmail without finding every contact and online account you have and updating your email address. (This is why AOL still has so much email!) Similarly, most people have options for ISPs, both wired and wireless, though it may be a worse service offering.
Is there such a thing as a perfect algorithm where you can publish it and trying to "game" is nearly impossible?

In this context, a "perfect" algorithm would be one where someone trying to "game" the system would essentially be forced to post only true content to achieve a near perfect score?

I hope one factor in their scoring involves number of cases where someone reports factually accurate content as false on numerous occasions or does the same for opinion-based content. Of course, that then requires a means for validating the content as opinion or fact-checking, but they're already heading down that path.
What's ridiculous is having a semantic argument when you know people's intent. Yes, someone said "locked" and someone said "encrypted", but what they meant was "secure". I think we all get their meaning. They are saying, what good is this if it is not secure? I mean, what good is it? It'll keep your significant other out, but not Apple employees and not the police? Is that the technical-level benefit?
Do they have to do a DSM everyday and retrospective, backlog grooming, sprint planning and whatnot every two weeks? Then no.
>I almost gave up 20 minutes in or so as there's no doubt it has a conspiracy theory feel to it

Agreed. Despite posting the parent comment, I'm not a huge fan of Adam Curtis because I feel like his ideas are often a bit wishy-washy and lacking in analytical rigor.

The point at which I almost gave up on Hypernormalization was when the narrator basically declares the Raegan administration retreated from the Middle East because it was "too complicated". No explanation, no analysis of _why_ it was too complicated... nothing.

That said, the film left a lasting impression. I've decided to take it as something more holistic/descriptive than analytical/proscriptive, and even though I find much of it unconvincing, I think he does describe a few phenomena quite well.
What extensions/privacy settings do you use? (Chrome or another browser?)
At this point, the public is probably sick of the tech giants enough to want to nationalize them, or to at least break them up.
Furthermore, I'd argue that it's _better_ to be without scarcity in art, because a larger pool of differences in available art makes it far more likely for any random individual to find a piece that resonates specifically with themselves.

It's the same logic with e.g. books: if there are 100 great books, people are going to love those books and some subset of people are going to find a book and say, "wow, this book was really meant for me". If there are 1,000,000 great books, then 1) there's going to be a wider selection for people who enjoy more niche aspects in books who wouldn't otherwise find those, and 2) there's a much higher chance of one of those million books really resonating with any random individual.

The real struggle is in curation and recommendation: which of these million books would John Smith _most_ like (ideally more than, say, the original 100 books), instead of requiring him to peruse through them all on his own.
Just wanted to say what a joy it has been to work with the 0.19 compiler. For the project at https://knode.io, it was a game-changer: the elm/parser library is so fast that it makes live rendering of LaTeX to HTML a reality.
