You clearly don't understand what google is proposing at all.

They are going to block all ads on a PUBLISHER which shows any of their list of bad ads. This has nothing to do with ad companies.

My point is that google has -- including relatively recently! -- quite proudly run the ads they label as bad ads, which now trigger blocking of all ads on the site, on google.com. And there will be future instances of malware ads on google.com. See: malware and unwanted software, particularly for downloads such as vlc or flash.

So when a publisher has a stray bad ad on their site -- an no one is disputing these ads are bad -- google is going to screw them. When google doesn't blacklist scam software install ads, or whatever slips through their filters, well, what can you do? No chance chrome blocks all ads on google.
i like that idea, but I also need a laptop and investing in both seems overkill for my needs. But i guess with a current 6C Macbook and 32GB + eGPU, i could kind of do the same thing.

I am very glad you find it interesting!

For any issues don't hesitate to contact me directly or through GitHub.

Also if you need it for some open source/(do the world a better place) kind of project I am more than happy to provide the PRO version free of any charges or obligations.

Of course it apply to anybody reading!
You can get reasonably fast compile times in C++ with a mix of incremental compilation, incremental linking, binary libraries and if using clang or VC++, experimental modules support.

Still slower than compiling Ada, Delphi, Eiffel, D code, though.
probably because you have bills, expectations, and reality hits hard when it wants to take a punch at you
The feature size is relevant for understanding how the chips progress over time. It's not relevant for a point-in-time purchase, but it's not a marketing thing to ignore either.

The plus means a generation of optimization on how to use roughly the same lithography tech, which can give you a big difference when they're so hard to use.
It's a useful number but its not the whole story. Fitting more transistors into a given area lets you put more chips on a wafer which is good economically. And it correlates with performance but, for example, Intel has traditionally accepted more restrictive design rules in exchange for more performant transistors and that has hurt their effective transistor density even if their individual transistors have been fast.
Here's the HK press release: https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201306/23/P201306230476....

So clearly there was an arrest warrant issued by US with a request to HK authorities to detain Snowden. You may choose to believe the excuse put out by HK/Chinese authorities that US government filled out the paperwork incorrectly but the State Department, and pretty much anybody I've ever read, has rejected that explanation.

For boarding and plane and clearing security and entry into Moscow, you made an absolutely ludicrous assertion that "Your passport doesn't magically cease to work after someone somewhere says it's been revoked." - Uh huh, there goes our entire security infrastructure ... Is it your contention that neither Hong Kong authorities nor the Russians were aware that Snowden's passport was revoked?

You sound like you're bending over backwards to try to prevent Snowden from being seen as what he is, a traitor to his country who defected to a geopolitical rival after stealing millions of documents (the vast majority of which have NOTHING to do with domestic espionage programs).

Oh yeah, the Grid 2.0 it sounds like.

What exactly is AI about this?

Pretty much equivalent to SRAM cell density, which you can measure under a microscope.
Awesome. Excellent work.

It seems to work with a small Ruby app, but not with a big Ruby on Rails application. Is it because it's too large? How can I check for errors or index status?

Using it with Sublime Text.
a 100% markup = 2x cost, not 10x cost, right?

But it's not necessarily about the hardware of a single server. I know nothing about Hetzner. I know that AWS puts a ton of thought and money into their networking and power infrastructure, but how trustworthy is {random competitor}'s infrastructure? Is there a catch with Hetzer, or how are they this cheap?

I have a lot of experience with DigitalOcean's services. If they offered bare metal, that would be cool, as whitepoplar said. Packet is a bare-metal AWS competitor that I know a lot more about and trust quite a bit. None of this means you're going to trust my experiences.
I feel like there are two different conceptions about what it means to "do a job" that are co-existing within the economy, and a lot work-related offense and disgruntlement occurs because of mismatched expectations.

In one conception, "a job" means that your boss sets out a list of tasks for you to do, and you do them, consistently and reliably. As long as you do what you are told, you will be paid the salary agreed upon. If you do it long enough, you will be promoted. Under this conception, there is no reason for a job interview to do anything other than ascertain whether you are qualified to do the tasks listed in the job description.

In the other conception, "a job" means that you're responsible for looking around the organization, identifying ways to either generate more revenue, make customers happier, or eliminate inefficiencies, and then go do them. Your boss's job is to remove roadblocks and introduce you to coworkers that can help you. The specific tasks you will be working on are unknown at the time of hire, and it is part of your job description to discover them. If you generate value for the organization, you will be promoted. Under this conception, it makes sense for a job interview to push you as far as possible, because if it turns out you're more qualified than the position, the position can be extended so you have more impact and get correspondingly higher compensation.

When people with the first conception apply to jobs with the second conception, they wonder why their employer demands so much of them, why there are no clear guidelines, and why they don't advance while people hired after them shoot right by them and end up becoming managers. When people with the second conception apply to jobs with the first conception, they get bored, step on other peoples' toes, make political enemies, and end up getting kicked out.

Adding to the complication, your boss is many companies is far more likely to hold the second conception of what a job is, because that's how he got promoted. Good managers can adjust their managerial style to make both types of employees productive, but bad managers assume everyone is just like them and complain about how employees are so lazy these days, while those employees complain about how their manager doesn't know what he wants.

Also complicating things, the first type of job is dying out. In many cases, they're being replaced by automation, and the jobs themselves disappear in favor of machines. In other cases, their boss is being replaced by an app, and those jobs become contract positions for Uber or Postmates or DoorDash or Amazon.
I've been using it for Python mainly but I find it's really helpful. It can often infer arguments for functions or functions to use based on the variable names. I've used Ruby lots in the past and I think it would work just as well based on my experience. I would give the free version a try and see what you think.
Datastax has completely dropped the ball with Cassandra. Years of unusable builds because of decisions they couldn't even begin to satisfy or test properly.
First impression is that this is insanely fast and is actually giving recommendations based on context, without setting up additional files. So, it's doing exactly as advertised.

I'm using this in Vim and would like to know if there's a way to configure it such that the dropdown does not show up until I hit <C-n> or <C-p>? I realize that this is supposed to be a zero-config tool, and I'm asking for a configuration!

Great job with pricing as well. Going to use this for a week before I commit to the license but $29 is a no-brainer for how much use I'll get out of this autocomplete.
I'm no expert, but my daughter is about to be weaned off the bottle at 1 year. 2 years seems an awful long time for breastfeeding. The key was to get her to bed when she's tired around 6:30 to 7:00 pm with a set routine. Also, I've weaned her off of night feedings by giving progressively smaller quantities at night.
64 core EPYC chips based on Zen 2 is what really blows my mind.
> Students are expected to put in tons of hours "grinding" study sessions for interviews.

You should never study for interviews. If the company isn't asking questions relevant to the work or you can't answer those types of questions then it's best to not work there.

General interview skills are different than studying CS problems.
The `@` symbol is a variable by itself, what is very clear from it's name, even more because `$` certainly isn't and I also don't think `%` is one (that last is for dictionaries, by the way).

Another system defined variable is `$_`, that is as well named as the one I cited.

There are many more of those in Perl, but I can't remember them for some reason.

Jargon, a lemmatizer for Go
How about a "no African Americans allowed" forum, for fostering "intimacy" for people who need a place to freely talk about issues limited to those who aren't African American?

I'd say that kind of group is latently hostile because it seeks exclusion rather than to encourage a broader perspective, and discussion topics probably center around the excluded group (ingroup/outgroup). Seems like a good litmus test.
An in space detector is (at least to my understanding) not that easy, as you need the surface of the Earth to interact with the neutrinos. These interactions result in muons, which allow to detect that there was a neutrino in the first place. Also, there is a pretty big source for neutrinos pretty close to Earth, but Earth is in its orbit, as opposed to the other way around.
I found I preferred 4k at 27" to 24", because the larger sizes help with eye strain. Would definitely recommend trying both before buying if possible.
I would agree with you if by "growth at all cost", optimization wasn't part of the equation but it is and thus we are constantly becoming more effective.

And yes it might be that we grow ourselves into extinction as a species if we can't optimize enough but there is a reason why people flee places that don't have growth and look for places that do.
It was worse than that, I relocated to another country for the job and they had just helped me setup a four month apartment contract.

I was informed that they liked to go surfing together during the interviews. It just turned out that bobbing around in freezing water with surfboards shooting at me from every angle just wasn't my thing at all.

Of course that's not the real why, my team lead was an arrogant and ignorant asshole who liked to throw developers under the bus to cover his own ass. Which doesn't work that well on people with a tiny bit of experience and integrity.

But cultural fit, like codes of conduct is a fine tool when you want to get rid of someone.
I think that paragraph is somewhat confusing for the intended audience.

Anyways, VCs at series A want to buy enough equity percentage (e.g. 15% to 25% ownership) to make their exit numbers work. Investing a smaller amount to only get 5% of a company is not a "meaningful percentage" or "meaningful stake". (In contrast, YC does buy a smaller 7% equity but their $150k isn't considered "Series A".)

To me, talking about investment scenarios in terms of "valuation" always seemed to make things more difficult to understand. The following math is equivalent but I think the explicit percentages layout is easier to grasp in a few seconds:

Mark Z is considering 2 offers of investments for his young Facebook startup in 2005:

Don Graham offers $6 million at a $60 million post money valuation.
Accel Partners offers $12.7 million at a $80 million post money valuation

-- or --

Don Graham offers $6 million for 10% of the company
Accel Partners offers $12.7 million for 15.7% of the company

That sounds like a horrible mess of wires and power strips to me. If only they could make a single case to fit all these various computer components in, and one chord to supply power to all of them.
...as risky as installing a proprietary editor plugin which updates automatically, yes.

Also, AFAIK most understandings of MIT, BSD, and Apache 2.0 licenses require you to acknowledge the copyright holders of the source code you compile into your binary, even if the licenses permit binary distribution. I can't find your "Copyright (c) 2018 Tokio Contributors" or "Copyright (c) 2014 The Rust Project Developers" that I'd expect based on `strings TabNine | grep github`. Maybe you've got a lawyer that suggests otherwise? Your plea of "trust me, I have good hygiene" carries less weight when I have to `strings` your stuff to know what shoulders of which giants you're standing on.

You do realize the whole concept of a startup is about raising money because you know you can’t both grow fast enough to conquer a new market while at the same time making profits ?

Also, some companies like industries have huge revenues but make few profits because of the enormous cost to produce what they sell.

Try thinking about the various cases and you’ll soon realize there’s actually a very good reason why corporates taxes have always been on profits, since the very beginning.

Why oh why should I drop a cool ~$2000 for Apple to take away some fundamental computing freedoms? How long before the public starts seeing through the "Apple knows best" philosophy of taking away your computing freedom?

Anyone who's owned a general purpose computing device prior to the iPhone should be complaining about these freedoms, or lack thereof:

1. Full lockdown on app install - only app store blessed apps can run

2. Purposeful crippling of the browser's W3C compliance to retain control over apps on iDevices (long, long list of web APIs that don't work on iDevices)

3. Further on #2, devs are forbidden from running their own browser engines on iDevices. Puts to shame the anti-trust suit against Microsoft regarding IE on Windows. Imagine if MSFT policy were to disallow non IE/Edge/Chakra browser engines

4. All Apple accessories need to go through the Made For Ipod (MFI) certification process, which is why off the shelf storage devices won't work on the iPad. Apple ends up imposing a $7 surcharge on every lightning accessory, because they very fucking well can, to bless your accessory as Apple certified.

5. Blatant, retroactive policy modifications to stifle competition (Steam was pulled from app store, Android watches aren't allowed the same deep notifications access, ....)

Apple might be the most evil corp. to ever succeed at scale in computing.
Does the Vim version autoupdate? I'd rather it wait for me to run my plugin manager- I specifically don't want anything on my machine to update when I'm on-call or traveling.

#1 - I switched from advocating IRV to approval voting once I better understood the election integrity aspects. Tabulating IRV is much harder, necessitating more software, which obfuscates the process.

#2 - Election administrators hate IRV. They'll oppose, sabotage it at every turn. We had a local trial run. As an observer, it'd be hard to argue the admins made an honest effort to make it succeed.

#3 - IRV is confusing to voters. Try explaining it to your parents.

Any changes to our voting systems should be incremental, deliberate. First with local races and then progressively up ballot. Give people time to adapt.
It's not life threatening

Questionable

you're diverting critical life-saving public resources from someone else

Why, do we have a desperate shortage of such resources? Then maybe we should build more of them instead of guilt tripping people who have suffered severe and perhaps permanent maiming.

Furthermore, it's not like they get to the hospital and then are seen immediately because they showed up in an ambulance. They still have to wait in line because the injury is simply not severe

Of course it's severe. It's not the worst thing that can happen to someone, but then ERs aren't swamped 24/7 either, and to the extent that they are overburdened we should do something about that rather than minimize the problem.
If everyone actually is operating at a high level -- or at least enough to make a curve difficult -- keeping people under-titled is just a great way to allow your high performers to become discouraged and leave the company.
The IceCube neutrino detector consists of about a cubic kilometer of ice. You're not going to put one of those in orbit.
> convincing the interviewer to believe that I actually have the experience that I claim

Yeah, I read about "impostor syndrome" on here, and maybe the people in question really are suffering from that, but I've never felt like an impostor: I know I'm good at this; I've been doing it successfully for three quarters of my life. Statistically speaking, I'm probably not the best that there ever was, but I do know that I'm at _least_ good enough to do a phenomenal job at whatever programming position I'm interviewing for. I personally suffer more from "I feel like you're just sitting up there on your high horse looking for any reason to reject me" syndrome.
Thanks! I'd quibble a bit with that though. I love the way Zen banishes ideas and concepts, throwing them into the fire the moment they reify. However there is a something. A something greater. That is very much the point. To perceive it, to align with it.

Zen knows that ideas in the mind prevent you from doing this, that's why they are so militant about banishing concepts.

For example, when we westerners say "God," we attach all kinds of stuff to it. Near-eastern King, sitting frowning on a throne.

Buddhism would agree with none of that. And so, to them, that kind of God doesn't exist.

A field which surrounds us though...this is the Buddhist idea of God and it's precisely what our culture is at war with. As materialists, we continually deny that such a thing could be. My argument is that we should seriously think about this idea.

I'm no religious scholar, though I practice zen. I certainly have some things wrong and am happy to be corrected.
I wish someone would figure out the right UX for partial autocompletion. e.g. I type "wo" and my phone suggests ("would", "work", "wonder"), there should be an easy way to say I'm trying to type "working" rather than clicking the "work" autocomplete then backspace, then "ing".

I'd imaging TabNine has this problem in spades, since it does such long autocompletes. It could suggest "unsigned long long" when I've typed "unsi" and I really want "unsigned long int". Seems like a tough UX problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Walmart has been making lots of e-commerce acquisitions, Jet was just the biggest. A lot of it is about growing outside of the traditional walmart customer- High end brands won't sell on walmart.com, and even if they did, high end shoppers don't go to walmart.com, but they have no problem going to Jet, or Moosejaw, etc. Jet was also framed as an acqui-hire of their management team, in particular Marc Lore. How true that is, I can't really say- another way to put it is, this seemed to be a move that came from above e-commerce.

The strategy is more about reaching different customers, and gobbling up potential competitors while they are small. The frontends may look a lot different, but its all one backend (or at least that is the end state for these acquired companies).

From my perspective, Walmart.com is finally seeing customer facing improvements as they have finally completed the backend re-write and migration which took literal years and held up most customer-facing work. Rewriting the FE, while not a small undertaking, is actually not that difficult to do with their architecture. Compare that to say Amazon, who I interviewed with, and they admitted that changing say the "Amazon orange"color to something else would be a herculean effort involving a year of planning across the entire company and lock step releases across the company. They seemed to think they had a better way of doing things, but after hearing that, I wasn't so sure I wanted to work there.
Those differences seem enormous.

SRAM bitcell, High-Density (HD)

A Intel 14nm: 0.064 µm²
B Intel 10nm: 0.0312 µm²
C TSMC 7nm: 0.027 µm²

A is what most current intel chips use, B is in limited production. C is what AMD will be using in 2019
I was looking into getting an A485 Thinkpad which has a Ryzen in it. Sadly, from reviews it sounded like AMD's platform isn't as good at getting into really low power states as Intel is and that shows up in battery life.
The Dell models we have access to can be configured with Ryzen 7 Pro with Vega GPU and a 4K panel. Is that midrange?
EC2 on-demand/hourly to Hetzner monthly pricing is not really an apples-to-apples comparison. EC2 reserve pricing is more similar and about 1/2 or less of on-demand fees. Hetzner is still cheaper, and if all you need is a low cost dedicated server w/local disks and bandwidth, this is a great choice - but AWS provides an entire ecosystem of services including configurable EBS and S3 storage, as well as more diverse and scalable purchase/provisioning options.
With the old one, you would probably need a mini DP to DP dongle anyway (I did for my displayport KVM on my 2012 Mini), so this isn't really worse, but it might mean you now need a different dongle.
> This is one of the reasons EU is never gonna fly.

You mean a single market???

> Businesses should be taxed based on where the revenue is generated and not where their tax domicile is placed.

How would that make sense? If a product is built & sold in country X to a person in country Y, then only sales tax is paid to country Y. Revenue goes back to country Y to cover the costs and then tax is paid on what remains.
That's like one of the fundamental things tying EU together.
Cassandra is a great database design but the implementation has never really matured and become a polished product. The datastax distribution was a nice package but suffered from complexity and poor performance. The political battles also hurt by making even more variations of the database which confused users.

Cassandra is even starting to use some of the architectural ideas from Scylla but it's stuck in a messy state so far. Scylla has the opportunity to cleanup and make forward progress with a solid technical foundation.
