Just curious, what do you think is so bad about Jira? I think it's miles ahead of other tools like Rally for example. What's your preference?
Interesting that you bring up the ACLU here, several lawyers I know have expressed a bit of surprise at the ACLU denouncing Kavanaugh-as they have a long and established track record of NOT speaking out one way or another on SCOTUS nominations-to say nothing of this move being outside of their very on policy on the affair.
BMC threats are a sufficient reason to avoid server class hardware for some people. They even contain public remotely exploitable vulns.
Can a program prove it's not running on a vm? This discussion reminds me a Greg Bear novel I can't remember the name of, part of which was trying to figure out if you were an uploaded consciousness running on a vm or not. And there was something like a "person" running on a vm that was trying to break out in the real world.

It's a great thing for the real creative leader types. I've wondered if this would happen in software. Of course we are amazingly well off by the standards of most fields. I still feel based on the value we give companies that there is room for compensation to greatly increase.

In the movie and tv biz, I think everything is basically unionized for regular crew and actors, so they have basic decent pay. Is there any down side to this?

I started playing the sax in fourth grade (age 9). I took lessons and played in school band. By ninth grade, I could usually play back what I heard. When I heard a melody, I heard specific notes and intervals. I think learning to hear that way was harder than learning to subconsciously play notes.

The skill transferred to the bassoon and piano, though I don't play piano as well.

Years later, I picked up the sax again as an adult. This time, my emphasis was on jazz and improvisation. I still took lessons and played in bands occasionally. My drills were playing the same tune in all 12 keys and improvising on chord progressions in all 12 keys. The transposition came more or less easily -- less than a year of practice. When playing a drill around the circle of fifths (repeat a phrase in the keys of C, G, D, A, etc all the way around), I'd know what it should sound like and my fingers would find the notes. I wasn't always conscious of which key I was in.

When I improvised, sometimes I heard specific notes in my head and played them, and sometimes I thought about the chords/scales and let my fingers wander within those scales -- I didn't know what I was playing until I heard it. (I also didn't know about modes as much then.) I don't know that I was ever good at improvising, but I enjoyed it.
Apple stores are in 24 countries, excluding North America that's 22. Which means that most countries don't have a single Apple Store.
So not only is your comment rude and inappropriate, it's also incorrect.
I don't think it makes sense to group Scala with Elixir and Rust because it interfaces so easily with Java and is used a lot for Spark applications
I appreciate the concept of literate programming, however I think this example would be better presented in a 2-column format: All chunks of the program presented in 1 column with accompanying explanations in a second, parallel column. There would be breaks in either column to allow for either the chunk of code or prose to have different lengths.

Then, if desired, one could read the code and/or narrative straight through.
Two points, one going to your question and one is of general interest.

Buying existing shares is "capital allocation" with respect to the _buyer's capital_. So I might allocate 20% of my capital (ie, gross financial worth) to being in shares of some company. The seller is allocating their capital somewhere other than the share. So you allocate your capital to GOOG, pay Larry and notify Alphabet that you are one of their capitalist overlords. If the price of Alphabet stock goes up, you now have more capital even though if you do a quick count you'll discover you have no new currency/cash. The reason this is important is that the people with a good ability to allocate capital will end up with more capital hence control. Eventually, the people in charge will be the people with a good grasp of what is changing (which I'll claim is desirable with no support).

For general interest, I've no insight into the intricacies of the US system, but in Australia every so often a company creates and sells new shares directly on the market. The upshot of this is a company can access the market directly for capital.
China did that in 2015 when stock were tanking.

"...forced state-owned brokers to promise to buy stocks until the index reached a higher level, mobilized state-controlled funds to purchase equities, and promised unlimited support from the central bank. "

The fast.ai course has a similar exercise in the beginning, but you'll still import the weights from somewhere else.

Their fast.ai v1 library has a very short implementation too (loading the MINIST example dataset and then using Resnet18):

from fastai import *
from fastai.data import *
untar_data(MNIST_PATH)
data = image_data_from_folder(MNIST_PATH)
learn = ConvLearner(data, tvm.resnet18, metrics=accuracy)
learn.fit(1)

Done!

The issue is that in the long run, index funds or passive investors do outperform hedge funds or active investment management as shown by Warren Buffett:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/16/warren-buffett-won-2-point-2...

There are a lot of factors at play but simply for your non-analyst mom-and-pop investors, they don't have time and the know-how to investigate stocks and index funds are just much more accessible and as they say, in the long run we are all dead.
We can't even stand up to bullying from our own academic circles and activists.

Agreed. It's something environmental. People did not suddenly change in the 70's. Some of us are old enough to have been around then :-)
It's a price mechanism. The logic is that by having a liquid secondary market where investors are free to trade securities whenever they want, you always have an up-to-date price that reflects all information known about future prospects for that business. (If you didn't, then someone with superior information could trade based on that and reap a profit, which increases the amount of capital they have to trade on in the future, which means that eventually all the capital ends up in the hands of the firms with the best information.)

Then whenever a company needs capital for future expansion - whether it be for secondary stock offerings, new factories, or stock options to entice key researchers or executives - they have an accurate price on the stock with which to judge the cost of capital. If their stock price is low and capital expense is high, they may decide that the capital investment won't increase the value of the company enough to be worth it; the market has prevented capital from flowing to inefficient businesses. (Again, if they guess irrationally, they go out of business, and the system remains rational even if management isn't.) Similarly, if the market puts a high price on the stock because there's a belief that what they're doing is important and will reap big rewards in the future (eg. Tesla), they'll find it cheaper to make big capital investments.

The early-stage startup financing market - angels and VCs - is actually both quite illiquid and quite inefficient - prices at that stage are basically just guesses, which is why some companies rapidly increase in value and many others go to zero. It too depends upon the liquid secondary market after IPO to keep actors rational, though - if VCs could not sell their shares later on the public markets, they would have no incentive to invest in startups.
There's no justification whatsoever for owning any Apple product other than some foolish pride, sense of elitism, or something alike.
Lots of people found charities or start businesses once they've created a wealth base. If this person makes millions in finance, he/she just might found a lab or create a medical lense startup in the future. It might eventually be more effective than begging for government grants.

Most of these shows are junk. If you don't like comic books or dark murder based series you're not too happy with Netflix these days. It's going to be one big ABC now. What do you expect when you hire one person to churn out seven shows at once? Where's the creative risk taking? Shonda Rhimes? Ugh.
I noticed absolutely no change in Github's product after the Microsoft news, and I'm 99% sure there will be no appreciable change after this news settles. I'm 100% sure that people are going to freak out and waste their time migrating to BitBucket or GitLab for the wrong reasons. As a Github user, there are a few things Github does that makes me unhappy, like not hyperlinking static text when they should, but who they get in bed with is not one of them.

There are 195 countries in the world, 23 in North America.

There are 24 countries with Apple stores, 2 in North America.

So, there are 172 countries not in North America, 22 of which have at least one Apple Store.

So, “most countries outside of North America don't have a single Apple Store” is true, though it's even more true that most countries in North America don't have a single Apple store.
I'm actually a little disappointed in Apple's service considering the cost of their hardware and the cost of AppleCare.

Back in the 80s and 90s many companies excellent service was you'd call customer support, they'd express ship you a replacement for free and you'd send back the broken item. They would take your credit card number just in case you didn't send the broken item back but otherwise it was on their dime.

I had this experience with NEC 21 inch monitors, 2 different video card companies, and Matrox hard drives as just 4 companies off the top of my head. Yes, NEC FedExed me 70lbd 21 inch monitors over night. No idea what it cost them but the monitor cost me around $2500 in 1995, certainly comparible to an MBP.

Compare to Apple, they were going to service my MacbookPro and I was without it for 2 weeks. The only reason I was able to get by is I had just bought a new Windows laptop for VR so I'd have something to use while they serviced the MBP.

It made me wonder why they couldn't do it the way those other companies did. Send me the new machine, I'll transfer my data, wipe the old machine, send it back. Even if my old machine is unusable (and therefore I can't get the data off) I'd still prefer the instance service I use to get. Just give me a new machine, factor that into the cost.

The fact that they didn't do as good a job as those other companies was disappointing.
That's interesting because I often think I do some programming in a trance like state. I don't write out giant steps, I sit there with headphones (to block out my stupid open office noise) and just keep working on something. I think the answer to your problem is not that complicated.

First, add comments. Describe what you are trying to accomplish, and then the algorithm, and put a few notes throughout your code. You should be developing big projects in components and test the boundaries.

For interviewing, you have to go back and study what you did. For your case, I suggest spending half an hour writing up a bullet point list of what you did after you finish a big project. You shouldn't write about any proprietary or internal algorithms about your company, but you can write a short list of the problem you solved (merging a large number of sorted runs with limited memory and xyz...), problems you faced (memory leak, or speed wasn't fast enough so you ...). Study a few of these as you move around jobs.
One possible way is if we consider capital allocation in terms of acquisitions, where one company acquires other companies by giving them stock instead of cash (which is what a lot of pre dot-com era telecom companies did to acquire customers + coverage like Verizon or the notorious Worldcom) and the ease of those acquisitions was largely based on the demand of that stock and thus the stock price.

Well, you cannot patch the vast majority of the software in your computer (assuming you are like the vast majority of users using proprietary crap for everything). That does not mean it is all unpatchable. If supermicro care, they could release a BMC update, for example.
Yeah, I guess that when the title, subtitle, and half of the entire article are about index funds, the article isn't about index funds.
Towards Data Science is definitely one of the best Medium Publications. I hope they don't begin to monetise with Medium's member-only content. It's such a drawback to Medium.
That article was disappointing because there was even what i'd guess is a decent approximation of what a black hole should look like. My expectation is for it to look like a smeary image where there is light from gasses being accelerated by being pulled toward the black hole and producing light, at least in visible light. In radio frequences I just expect a smear that suggests motion toward a point.
They generally do a better job if you have a nearby Apple Store (an official not a third party one). Unfortunately if you don't have one of those you end up a little worse off.

On the plus side, most brands don't have stores in the majority of non major cities. Apple Does. So they're ahead of a lot of brands in that regards.

You can get repairs usually done same day or within 1 or 2 days in the worst case if you can walk into an Apple Store in most cases (with some exceptions obviously) - for both iPhone and Mac.

EDIT: The comment below points out they only have stores in 22 countries. I agree in some regards that is low but I would suggest it is probably high compared to many brands for not requiring a 2 week turnaround as you had above.
The check in question is likely happening on the T2 itself; it's a small ARM processor (derived from the ones used in iOS devices) running its own OS (a variant of watchOS, which is itself ultimately a derivative of macOS).

Among other things, it's responsible for the early boot process; it performs firmware and OS verification and can stop the boot process if it thinks things don't look right.
You are the only one who has been mentioning OLAP so far. It's just one use case among many.
Unless the alternative is discarding the hardware completely.

See, it's all about pricing, not quality of the parts.
Last iPhone I sent for repairs at work came back with an invoice of 340€ for a screen replacement. At work that's something we _have_ to do, we can't send the phones anywhere we want.
But if it was a personal phone, if I'm out of warranty and I'm going to be billed 1/3 of the cost of the phone for a new screen, or 100€ for a refubrished part somewhere else, it would be an easy decission.

Now, if that aftermarket repair was out of the question, you start wondering if it's worth to spend 1100€ for the more basic version of the phone, or you just spend 200€ on a Xiaomi and if it breaks you still can buy 4 phones more if they break. Or maybe you buy an iPhone still, but then when it breaks you just throw it away and buy an Android phone. Maybe the first time it won't happen, but after you have spent 1500€ on a phone and something else breaks(battery? lightning connector maybe?) it comes to a point where you stop throwing money into the hole.

On the laptop side, I get what Apple is doing. It has their new flashy T2 chip with integrated Touch ID and they're trying to do the same thing they did with the iPhones and nobody is going to stop them (well, maybe in EU they force them to allow the sale of Apple Diagnostic software to 3rd parties or fine them)

They're trying to convert their computers into big iPhones and treating everyone like a child that has to be taken by the hand and told him what to do all the time. And that is my problem with Apple. I'm not worried of somebody putting a backdoor in my laptop (and if they wanted to backdoor my laptop a year ago they only had to type 'root' [enter] [enter], no need to open the case), I'm not that interesting to anybody or any agency, but I don't like to be treated like I have no rights on the things I buy, and I don't need permission from anybody to do whatever I want with whatever I paid with my money.

Israeli people feel that anti-zionist effectively results in giving weapons and access to those who wish to use them, which means destruction and ethnic murder. Unwillingness the explain how this outcome is prevented seems to many as complete alignment with Hamas goals and effectively (indirectly) calling for the destruction of Israel.
I don't want to get political, but I think the thing they think he lied about was his description of his college years wasn't honest, it was apparently very dishonest. According to many reports but not from him, including from his roommate, he was drinking a lot, got into fight drunk, didn't remember things afterwards, and was kind of rude and ugly when drunk. He wasn't just lifting weights and doing service work to help people. It's hard to know what to think of the accusations of terrible behavior toward women when he was probably drunk, because he might not remember the details when he blacked out. But it's the other things, lying about his lifestyle. It's not the lifestyle itself (I used to drink a lot in college like a lot of people that age), it's lying about it under oath.

So is the Eclipse FAQ wrong, or does the EPL forbid this private use of EPL'd code in a non-distribution scenario?

It sounds to me like the FAQ is wrong, since it quotes the FSF's position as the foundation of its argument.

edit: apparently a twist is that GPL is considered a pure copyright license, and so covers only distribution, but the EPL is broader. It starts with "ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT". So apparently this makes it a kind of contract and not just a copyright licese.
That's a great point about Jira, about decaying and left over ticket types. But I used TFS (team foundation server) in a job, and it had some of the same problems. Someone always felt the need to edit the dang project and team paths and it was just a pain in a big company with constant churn. One level deep labels is much easier to deal with.

I think Language Servers are my favorite feature from Microsoft in the development of VSCode. Microsoft has come a long way with open source, not only with VSCode but improving developer tools across the board.

Similar to textmate grammars being adopted by virtually every new editor, language servers will help others bootstrap new editor concepts more rapidly and with a more rich feature set from the start.

Sure, the physics of Grand Theft Auto are an incredibly limited approximation of real-world physics. If the denizens of GTA somehow gained consciousness and decided to build a computer out of their available physics, they would probably be able to build large-scale difference-engine-like mechanical computers, integrated circuits would be forever out of their reach. They'd be lucky to simulate a universe much more complicated than Pong.

So, granted, there's undoubtedly a massive and permanent loss of resolution at each level of simulation depth. But this is not an argument that our own universe, with all its complexity, cannot be a simulation. We have no idea what the complexity of a "base" universe could be. Perhaps the gap between our own physics and the physics of the universe we're being simulated within is as great as the gap between GTA bytecode and quark-gluon interactions.

For that matter, we have have no idea what base-universe consciousness might look like. Perhaps running a universe-simulation which (if implemented in our own universe) require roughly a galaxy-mass worth of computronium -- perhaps this is the sort of thing that fifth graders do for a science project.

"But that would be ridiculous" isn't an acceptable objection. Geocentricism was able to sustain itself in large part because the alternative -- heliocentricism -- seemed absurdly disconnected from the human experience, implying a sun that was ridiculously huge, planets absurdly far far, and other suns that were so far away that they didn't even appear to move. This, quite obviously, had to be wrong. Nothing is allowed to be so vast.

Now, of course, we know that those too-far-away stars are just one tiny corner of one galaxy among hundreds of billions of galaxies. Turns out that the scale of the universe doesn't have any regard for what we consider to be reasonable. So let's not put any artificial constraints on the capabilities of our parent universe.
