At least for Urschel, he has a reputation for not being a big spender: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/03/nfls-john-urschel-lived-on-2...

He didn't live on a modest $25,000 a year and drive a used car "because I'm frugal or trying to save for some big purchase," Urschel said. "It's because the things I love the most in this world (reading math, doing research, playing chess) are very, very inexpensive."
My mother was a young child in Germany during WW2. I imagine she had no firsthand sophisticated understanding of politics at the time and was essentially repeating opinions of adults she knew.

But she was also remarking on one of the programs that provided servants to families. I don't recall the details. She could remember her family benefiting in some way from such a program.

Regardless of all those details, Germany was in dire straits and this was due in part to a global depression and in part due to how other nations were treating Germany post WW1. It was the people of Germany suffering because of all that and they likely did not have all the details we now know about Nazi tactics.

This was well before our highly connected modern communications. They used to play news at movie theaters during WW2. TVs were not yet widespread.

My mother's remark is firsthand testimony concerning the perceptions of ordinary people on the ground at the time. That isn't apologist. It doesn't mean any of the ugly political things people are reading into it.

It is interesting to me for that reason. It is rare insight into how and why Hitler could rise to power to begin with. At least some of the people at the time perceived him as doing good things for a country being crushed by outside forces.

Hindsight is 20/20. People pretty routinely are shocked to find where their path has led them. I don't see any reason to question the idea that the ordinary people of Germany could believe he was doing good for the country until things went very wrong and then suddenly feeling like "He's lost his mind and we didn't sign up for this!"

They weren't on Twitter watching political inquiries go down in real time. Things were different back then.
So it's called "The relative performance of C and Rust" to put the emphasis on the data structures? :)
I don't think that's true. He played offensive line which isn't a high profile position and he wasn't a star. I think he's much more famous due to the Math/NFL combo than he would be in either alone.
Makes a lot of sense actually. Decision trees are also incredibly visual and a lot more intuitive to understand.

From my years in academia I have published original reasearch in physics. If I am ever super wealthy I’d love to attempt a similar contribution in another field. I’d probably try for some kind of engineering or anthropology. :)
The state of XMPP seems no better or worse than that of any other open protocol that has been implemented by multiple parties over several decades. They have all become pretty bad with all kinds of weird ways in which things were tacked onto them.
I wrote a couple of TSR programs too, nothing too advanced, but it was a fun time to be learning and experimenting.

I suspect the most useful thing I wrote was a simple "undeleter" program, for recovering deleted files from floppies and drives. Unmarking the FAT-entry as deleted, then chasing blocks to reassemble the file.
It would be better to give the whole truth rather than try and land it on Churchill individually, quoting one suspect author as only source.

1. The UK had a coalition government and a war cabinet of 9 not a Churchillian dictatorship, so blaming it on Churchill is pure hyperbole.

2. Burma fell in 42 from which point Bengal lost previous regular rice imports and was now on the front line with the Japanese. Had Japan reached Bengal the death figures would have been an order of magnitude higher. To hugely understate it, Japan didn't have a great reputation for treatment of populations of countries they occupied. Burma was the location of the infamous Burma-Siam railway that was being built with slave labour, to supply Burma and the expected Bengal front.

3. Many of the Indian states under their respective Maharajas applied trade restrictions with Bengal after the fall of Burma, through 42 starting with Punjab. That significantly heightened food shortages and profiteering. Seeing how prices rose most of the other Indian states joined in. It was the inability to internally import rice that was perhaps the largest single factor. Thanks to the vassal nature of the states under the Raj these decisions were not by the British.

4. Bengal was inundated with half a million refugees fleeing Burma, and thousands more defeated troops. Most were injured and ill.

5. At that point in the war there was little could be done to prevent Japanese attacks in the Bay of Bengal. The War Cabinet did indeed decline Mountbatten's requests for shipping food due to expected shipping losses. The cabinet papers are now freely available.

6. A series of natural disasters in the region, including extensive crop disease, a cyclone that killed 15,000 and spread the disease spores widely, followed by further floods. What was Churchill's part in these?

Churchill had faults, and some appalling decisions in his career that could be easily criticised. The Bengal famine is probably one of the weakest as it is mostly untrue.

This is very interesting but are there any provisions to boot from these images locally? I was working recently on a project where I wanted to build a kiosk mode device using Angular/Ionic. To build the boot image for this kiosk I was using Arch Linux's install disk creation tool [0]. I was doing this from within docker so all of my builds were pretty repeatable. The great thing about the arch installer scripts is, like this, you can completely configure the entire OS and override any default files on the filesystem. This workflow, as you might expect, was not ergonomic.

It'd be cool if I could replace my cobbled together tool with this.

Time to Put Down the Bong, Elon
I had a customer with a web2py application. I liked that I could write Python in the HTML files, like Ruby in RoR views. Django castrated templating language is a pain in comparison and a productivity killer. There are some good form helpers, especially for admin applications. Maybe not that useful for public facing ones.

The defaults are quite terrible. For example the original developer put everything in the default.py file because there is nothing in the framework that suggests to create multiple controllers or models. The idea of auto generating and auto applying migrations is extremely dangerous IMHO. The ORM is pretty verbose and it pollutes the code with all those db(). On the other side, Django pollutes the code with all those Model.objects so it's not worse than that.
Not so much with Rust in the driver's seat. Cargo, Rust's primary toolchain, only has weak support for pre/post build scripts. It's solely concerned with Rust's own dependencies and compilation. In the couple of projects where I've added Rust to a larger project, it's always been bash or node that coordinates the overall build.
Check out Bazel: http://bazel.build. I've been using it a lot to build several multi lingual projects that include Java, C++, embedded C, Javascript, CSS, and even Docker images. There are community Rust rules, that I haven't tried yet, but am planning on investigating soon: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust

https://www.color-blindness.com/2007/05/18/mixing-up-blue-an... (read the part titled "Mixing up blue and green") seems to say that people with color-blindness in general may have a harder time with blues and greens. This further supports my experience given that I'm not color blind and have trouble sometimes with these colors. Green and Blue are just really similar perceptively.

All this said, you may be correct that there's no such thing as blue-green color-blind, and maybe that's not the best word to describe what I'm trying to say.
Just read the Damore memo.

The response inside Google was "I will keep hounding you until one of us is fired. Fuck you." And Damore was fired for the memo; the person who wrote those words stayed on.

LendingClub Founder, Ousted in 2016, Settles Fraud Charges
Using arithmetic average of $420 million a year is incorrect, because inflation is exponential. Conservatively estimating 2% inflation and holding all else equal, that comes out to about $312 million for year 1, $318m for year two, etc. This comes out to about $12.6 billion over 30 years.

bmurray7jhu is right to call out this mistake, because TFA says $381m is the current yearly budget, which is actually enough to fund it. (other issues not withstanding). Messing this calculation up makes me question the rest of the TFA's integrity.
Following WW2, an awful lot of our fictional villains were German. That's changed relatively recently. Germans were the "trope" evil bad guy.

WW2 is actually even inspiration for, say, Star Wars. Darth Vader and his troops are something of a cross between Japanese samurai uniforms and WW2 German uniforms.

It's so deeply embedded, we don't even notice the connection. We don't question where those images come from. We just accept it as "Yup. Totes The Bad Guy! Looks Bad to me!"
One of the places you most often need to use backlinks and other unsafe code in Rust is implementing fancy data structures. Unfortunately that happens to be what a lot of people think of as "programming" because they come up a lot in computer science classes... Fortunately most production code seldom needs new fancy data structures; maps, sets, tuples, structs and reference counting take you a very very long way. For less common things like graphs there are usually crates you can use off the shelf.

No, he wasn't cruel to people. If someone makes a mistake and one reacts to that with strong language is not cruel. It's actually love. People make stupid mistakes. Making them and everyone else understand that certain stuff is not acceptable is important.

Was it absolutely necessary or optimal to react that strongly? No. But not cruel.
Of course not. But finding talent is far more subtle than "how many years has this person been in industry?" That doesn't account for passion, motivation, how much they learned and accomplished on the job, etc.
> Probably less chance you get caught up in any kind of breach -- it's too obscure to be a target, plus the code is open source so many eyes on it, etc.

Open source != secure. I can guarantee that a hell of a lot more folks with a lot of security expertise have combed through the fb codebase than Mastodon.

I think this is more a result of rust having good generics.

If c were built with good generics and memory management (not that garbage preprocessor stuff), I expect similarly expressive and good data-structures would be built.

C++ is an affirmation of this because it happens to have good libraries of data-structures which are not really very different from rust's.

I don't think this is as much "rust's design forces the coder to do this" and more "c makes it hard to do as nice of a design"
Gotta keep those designers busy somehow! (Even if it’s making poor redesigns no one wanted...)

> We introduce a new approach for implementing cryptographic arithmetic in short high-level code with machine-checked proofs of functional correctness. We further demonstrate that simple partial evaluation is sufficient to transform into the fastest-known C code, breaking the decades-old pattern that the only fast implementations are those whose instruction-level steps were written out by hand.

> These techniques were used to build an elliptic-curve library that achieves competitive performance for 80 prime fields and multiple CPU architectures, showing that implementation and proof effort scales with the number and complexity of conceptually different algorithms, not their use cases. As one outcome, we present the first verified high-performance implementation of P-256, the most widely used elliptic curve. Implementations from our library were included in BoringSSL to replace existing specialized code, for inclusion in several large deployments for Chrome, Android, and CloudFlare.

As someone who grew up in Collin county and now lives in SF, isn't zoning the reason there aren't more corner stores in either?

Make me wonder...

Is there anything like TypeScript or MoonScript for PHP? A source-to-source language that tries to mitigate the quirks and issues with the target language.
I develop online course materials as well. The big problem is the market for self-study/MOOCs just isn't there so it is really hard to actually monetize these types of courses. For Anthony and other MOOC course developers, we are mostly drive my passion for the subject and the thought of making a difference in the world. Of course this does have an added negative impact in the sense that we have to basically do everything ourselves (write the content, record the videos, develop the graphics, develop the videos - everything) which causes content to be dragged out for years.

The course I am working on has been in development for over a year.

That is a fair point. The title may be a bit misleading.

You have no source. All you did is claim that Elon read some books.

The project lead seems to be about ensuring the community thrives and #2 on that list is about documentation.

As alluded to in my grandparent, what I was looking for was a venue to submit my open-ended thoughts about how to transition Jekyll to parallel builds and lazy evaluation, which would spark a longer discussion about the feasibility of this (e.g. how will it affect existing plugins, would it be OK for some of them to break in 4.0, at least those relying on undocumented API, etc.).

Many open source projects have a mailing list only about development which is great for discussing such things, and that is what I was looking for, as sending an unsolicited email to the project lead (who is tasked with ensuring the community thrives) is just not the same thing as starting a discussion on a development mailing list.

Per that chart, Republicans in general tend to win every income bracket above $50k. Look at the gains and losses from 2012: Trump made massive gains with lower income brackets, and lost the Republican grip on the middle and upper middle classes.

So yes, it's reasonable to say that the cohort that Trump made the largest gains with (i.e., lower income brackets) is his "voter base."
That's completely invalid. A page with on a domain with a higher authority will almost always outrank one with lower DA, provided all the other variables are the same (esp. content length)

Just pick a better language (e.g. Python/Ruby/Groovy/C#). Period. And JavaScript was never as horrible as PHP anyway, in my opinion.

The thing is, you have more control over what language you can run on the server-side, whereas all your web browser clients run JavaScript. So it made sense to have a transpiler targeting JavaScript.

I tried Hugo a week ago and using the quickstart example I got some error I had no idea what it meant. Running an example from their github produced an empty page.

The theme selection is also weak in comparison. So all in all it is a complete non-starter.

Jekyll however I know will work and the number of themes to choose from is huge.
Every single comment here is absolutely glowing. Completely deserved. Whenever I see a question asked of him or he comments on something, you couldn't script a better answer.

The biggest take away I get from Urshel is that you can always go back to what you love. His dedication is infectious.

They always say the Offensive Line is the most intelligent group of guys on the field. I've heard it as the Dance of the Elephants. While the hitting is fun, there is a while lot of communication, execution, and study that goes into the position. Urshel is a fine example of all of this.
The real sad thing is that we as a industry have not learnt a single thing from this. Deploying stuff on the server is still a nightmare with ever increasing layers of complexity and fragility. SSR on top of GraphQL on Npm on top of mongodb on top of kubernetes on top of docker on top of Linux on top of kvm. And we praise and promote this type of nonsense instead of simplifying stuff.

PHP still follows the very simple way. Install LAMP (perfected down to a simple one step script), run certbot, copy code and voila, you're done.

PHP and it's community on the other hand is learning from its mistakes. The popularity of Laravel and the clean code it forces you to write is a godsend. So is the work in the community to recommend it to every beginner.

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
I wasn't trying to credit the language. Just curious about the state of the ecosystem.

Using it highlights how much software like Skype has lost its way. Or the Slack desktop client, which won't even start on my Linux laptop without 3gb of free ram, due to being packed so full with memory bloat and disregard for its users in the name of faster development time (or maybe management being too cheap to hire people capable of developing efficient GUIs in a lower-level language).
