It's aimed at companies incorporated in the EU. If a US company decided to incorporate a subsidiary in the EU to get tax breaks and other benefits, then it makes little sense (to me, at least) to complain about US companies being targeted. Some US companies specifically decided to structure themselves to be EU companies in name (and tax status) -- so from a practical perspective they are EU companies. You can't have it both ways.

(Not to mention this will affect companies like SAP and Spotify, which are real EU companies.)
No, I wouldn't consider buying a Toyota Corolla for 60K.
The current plan is that they separate dens by gender.
The tradeoff is that at unpredictable moments, memory requirements for string content can quadruple.

Python is inexorably committed to the idioms which depend assume fixed width characters -- there's no persuading the community to use e.g. functions to obtain substrings rather than array indexes. So this is an understandable design decision.
Depends what you want out of life. Your height is what it is, so best not to dwell on it, but, if you are a man, being 6'1 instead of 5'6 will change how most people view you. If the words have any meaning, it would be a negative to be that short compared to being tall.
one has a strong effect on the other.
This is off-topic, but some Heinlein quotes are gold. I grew up reading my dad's pulp sci-fi collection and Heinlein's work has definitely influenced my interests.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
Even easier: there’s a “past” link embedded at the top of each discussion. (I just discovered this after being here for several years.)
Interview with Anurag Maunder SVP of Engineering at Kindred.ai
In my view, it could be a confidence booster for people who have a hard time with social interactions, such as some managers. They can feel: "Now I know how to manage this person because they're an EMTB and I'm an EJSV."

It could also give someone a way to rationalize their place in life, so they don't feel uncertain or inferior about it. "Now I know it's because I'm a JVWA. What a revelation."
These are statistical results.

Of course some people are permanently diminished after losing a loved one, others recover.

There are some exceptions to the findings. These conditions do cause 'permanent' reductions in most people's happiness levels:

1) Loss of a child.

2) A continual decline in one's health status.

True, but Erlang was originally built using Prolog, so it’s true in a historical sense even if not particularly relevant now.
Thanks so much for your work on this, I think iOS is the last major platform right? Amazing effort in so short a time, I guess that's another advantage alongside the security ones of having a very simple, focused code base without unnecessary knobs and dials.

I'm sorry it didn't make it into the kernel this cycle though, granted maybe that was a little much to hope for at this stage of things, and I really hope Vancouver goes well for you and Zinc. It's not that WG is hard to get setup on any given system, but I think kernel integration will lower the bar towards getting it available as a standard feature in a lot of turnkey appliance systems that I see a ton in SMB usage in particular. I can understand being conservative there but man do I already want it everywhere :)!
Given that I’ve seen 1980s and before published books at used book sales where you yourself are put in the role of a cat (sometimes solving a mystery, sometimes not) I think the publishers knew there was a market out there

What? When was this?
I recommend The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins. The definitive guide to humanure composting, and the best reference for general composting I've read.
I actually evaluated MongoDB before I decided to go with Couchbase. Mainly because of the following reasons.
1. It was a pain to manage the shards and the 'mongos' processes would be hotspots and SPOFs in the system. No wonder there were ways around it, but Couchbase did it right. With Couchbase, sharding was maintenance free and the client was aware of the cluster topology and which shards lived where. Rebalancing was a breeze and you could even pause and resume it if required.

2. We didn't want to introduce MongoDB and then having to setup a separate cache like Redis in the front. That would be too many moving parts. With Couchbase we got a built in cache that was managed as part of the solution, a huge plus point for us.

3. Couchbase offered a great road map, at the time we ran the evaluation N1QL wasn't GA yet, but it offered great promise and look where it has come today.

4. The official Kuberbetes operator offers a great way to run and scale Couchbase on any public or private cloud. It encompasses a lot of operational knowledge about the product and is a massive plus.

4. The cluster management for Couchbase is totally based on a REST API that is open. The standard web UI makes use of it too. The REST API offers the best way to automate administrative tasks and allows you to create your own customized monitoring arrangements.

So, above is a brief roundup of why we made an educated decision not to use MongoDB in favor of Couchbase.

That's not a good counterexample because rain comes down. Water vapor, which goes up, is actually lighter than air by a large margin (0.804g/L versus 1.225g/L) at the same temperature and pressure.
Read it as: A small amount of carefully constructed noise. Then you are correct to literature and pop-science. No misconception needed. There are 1-pixel attacks now. Randomly shuffling a small amount of pixels around can cause predictions to shift.

The issue is that there is no scene understanding. No common sense. No 3D modeling. Just 10x10 pattern matching on a very large fuzzy database of natural images (which works really really well in most cases).

The hype of ML is driven by 3 things: Big companies vying for AI dominance, militaries that want to finally use neural nets that work, and international competition between the West and the East to be the first to largely automate their economies (or AGI if you want to call it that). Catalysts were big data hoarding, GPU training on ImageNet, and then AlphaGo.
How do you suspect fingers become severed? As if intentionally with surgical precision? Or by more violently messy and accidental means? Do you think only a trickle of blood comes out when one of your whole digits becomes separated from your hand? How certain are you that "5 minutes" isn't going to matter in most cases? And how certain are you that in most cases there won't be "uncontrolled bleeding?"

Where do you even begin to make that sort of claim?

You seem to be operating from an overly narrow perspective. Type theories were invented for mathematical logic and only co-opted for programming later. It doesn't make sense to try to prove things about type systems by referring to a runtime. The rest of your objections show similar misunderstandings of the question. While I said myself a dependent type system is not free, its costs have nothing to do with "indirection", whether you mean type system complication or pointer chasing (the latter is more likely to be reduced). Randomness is about computational purity, which is nearly orthogonal to the expressiveness of your type system. I'm not completely sure what you're trying to say about hardware, not I'm pretty sure it's a red herring, at least from the theoretical perspective relevant to characterizing dependent types.

The Wikipedia article on dependent types is a pretty decent survey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_type
I disagree. I consider some parts of my personality to be unambiguously bad and prefer they would change. I prefer this kind of self-image to the current vogue of never seeing the negatives.

Yeah, I agree. Reed switches might even resonate with music played through laptop speakers. This needs a no-moving-parts magnetic sensor.

It's an email for a mailing list of people who already know about the project, not a press release, but somebody posted it here anyway. The main site -- https://www.wireguard.com -- has lots of info if you're curious.
Only one is quickly remediable via policy though.

Reducing global population may happen, but it would take multiple generations, so is hardly relevant to short-medium term climate change policy. Reducing emissions however is practicable over the timespans relevant to climate change.

Usually when people say 'overpopulation' they mean the irrational counter-emphasis, ie. "they should stop having babies, so we can keep driving vast CO2-spewing SUVs, eating scads of industrially-produced meat, and generally fouling our rapidly decaying nest".
Our final frontier is Windows, actually. Hope to have that out soon!
Thanks for that info. I had heard mixed things but only when they had just announced it. I think that’s a good call.
Interview with Ammon Bartram from TripleByte on Hiring Processes
There is very little saltwater supply in Switzerland.
I find the Desiderata to be good for helping to re-centre life priorities and moods:

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann.
I did a huge heads down on GraphQL vs AppSync vs Firebase for an app I'm building around document collaboration, annotation and sync for people working with PDFs and web content (https://getpolarized.io/) - it's kind of like an offline web browser.... anyway.

GraphQL is super awesome at what it does but it's definitely not designed for rapid prototyping applications.

The thing about GraphQL is that it's middleware. It's designed to act as really nice glue between multiple backends.

It solves a lot of nice problems like over-fetching too much data, calling too many APIs, etc.

The problem is that you really don't need these to get an app shipped immediately.

The REAL sweet spot for GraphQL is for a company like Netflix or Facebook where you have 1500 APIs and tons of problems with data over-fetch and you have the time to sit down and do things right.

I think I'm going to end up going with Firebase just because you can bang something out FAST and get it shipped.

It's not going to be perfect but you can ship an MVP and start making revenue and/or grow your user base while you figure things out.
What is the current status with getting the required bits merged into the Linux kernel? I don't really follow lkml (my email service would instantly hit its quota), and the todo list (https://www.wireguard.com/todo/) surprisingly doesn't include any word about this.
Have you run into a situation where ILMT was deployed, kept up to date, clients installed on all servers (typically injected into standard image like part of an Ansible playbook or Windows slipstream or similar), required VM hypervisor port open to ILMT, and a PWC license compliance audit (now part of IBM Global Services) still came up with a different number than ILMT and forced that upon the customer? Because if so, I'd surely like to DM with you to exchange notes, as that would be the very first time I've heard of that happening.

I'd much rather deal with IBM using ILMT than Microsoft or Oracle licensing. Every single one of my customers who have used ILMT and came through a PWC license compliance audit reported to me that the ILMT numbers were accepted as the official count, after an inspection of the customer's asset database compared with an ILMT server list showed that the ILMT clients were deployed pretty much everywhere. Flexera negotiates a special dispensation from IBM to get their numbers accepted on par with ILMT, but Flexera doesn't keep up on a timely basis (within a month or two) with ILMT's tracking of new license models issued by IBM.

It is true that if you are not using ILMT and an IBM license compliance audit team comes knocking, then your life is going to suck. Then again, IBM tells everyone in the paperwork to deploy ILMT, and they've made it as easy as possible for nearly anyone (up to about 5,000 servers) to install and run ILMT, and of course it is no-charge software. Usually only takes at most a week for most sites to install, stand up clients, get the firewall rules right (or set up procedure for updates over air-gaps), integrate into LDAP and SSO, get into backups and verify, compare results with actual licenses (what IBM calls "entitled"), etc., where the actual ILMT install itself usually only takes an hour or less using their all-in-one mode.

As far as my Microsoft and Oracle folks have told me, there is no official license management system that is written into the license contract verbiage like ILMT is into IBM's that they will accept as the official count, that short-circuits any license compliance conversations dead-right-there. If you or anyone reading this knows of any, then please point me to the tooling, as that will save me a hell of a lot of time dealing with Microsoft and Oracle.
If you are able to change them, then view them as negative and change them. But others can't be changed or at least they are difficult to change. I have spent almost 50 years trying to figure out how to behave correctly in certain social situations but never found a way to do so. Now I just say "f..k it" and don't even try. Instead I focus on things I can change. I don't beat myself up anymore over things I can't change. I find this much more productive.
It hits before 75. One of my friends, who is about 75, and I would say has some wisdom, often says: "I have four children: three grown, and one that got older."

Poor judgement know no age limits.
It was understood that official cover agents were known to the Soviets. The official cover was just a fig leaf on both sides. Phil Agee was publishing names of official cover agents in his newsletter for God's sake. The questions were about how NOCs were compromised, and many of them were by double agents -- Ames, Hansen, etc
I believe a more appropriate noun is "contempt" :-)

I found this page [1] some time ago, maybe someone can find some good quotes in here but the page is kind of long and heavy and not super quotable, maybe some of you will find some gems in there.

Top of the page is Xah Lee, a lovable, and sometimes a bit weird, cranky master of contempt:

> The basis of computer languages' merit lies in their mathematical properties.
> It is this metric, that we should use as a guide for direction.
> As an analogy, we measure the quality of a hammer by scientific principles:
> ergonomics, material (weight, hardness. . .), construction, statistical
> analysis of accidents/productivity/… …etc., not by vogue or lore.
> If we go by feelings and preferences, hammer's future will deviate
> and perhaps become dildos or maces. (Xah Lee in comp.lang.lisp, July 2000)

I think Xah is cranky but many times on to something. For instance, point 6 in his list of "Python Doc Idiocies" [2] is hard to disagree with :-).

Chinese Communist Party is weak. Their authority dissolves like sugar in the face of US Dollars.
huh. is the author a known “security researcher”? i agree more or less with his 3 points.
I feel like a fairly average programmer. I have a few coworkers who are a little better, but when the CEO is talking about the engineering team it is always "world class" and an "amazingly talented team of engineers". I think the "genius programmer" stuff is just part of the tech industry.
How would you expect a society that is extremely stable would deal with an incohate civilization? I think it's at least plausible they would want to stifle potential problems in the cradle, so to speak.
At ~10x the prices hourly is only competitive if you have extreme traffic spikes. Reserve costs less, but it’s still ~4x the price of pure hardware.
Can you elaborate on your reasoning for people not familiar with hetzner?
Cracking jokes at the unfairness as a way to swallow it is very different than cracking jokes as a way to point out how unfair it is to others. I'm not exactly sure which you mean, but it seems like the former, and that is depressingly jaded.

I find the existential dread caused by acknowledging the unfairness a good motivator to try to improve things. There will always be randomness, but life doesn't have to be as deeply flawed as it is today

Is there a rule against humour? Or puns? I thought it was just a sect of users who are also Wikipedia editors.
"I worked on an awesome project and just kept my head down and worked like a good employee. Then one day I read the WSJ one day, and what do you know, my boss was getting investigated for fraud! Then the company shut down! I had no idea, because the sub project I was on worked perfectly. I heard people complain about managers, but they were on other teams and I didn't see them very much."
I'd say it's something you earn.
Every time I see something along these lines, I think of a discussion between people debating which base OS to use to build a platform to power billions of mobile phones: Plan 9, or BeOS?

It doesn’t matter. It ain’t gonna happen. Not because IRV or condorcet is or isn’t better, but simply because of the installed base. Getting literally everyone to a) understand the subtle differences and then b) agree to switch and c) agree to switch to the same system is impossible because literally every step of the process is itself impossible.

This is not me being pessimistic, this is me being realistic.

Humorously, a top down dictatorial approach would be the only way to “improve” (by some estimations) the current democratic implementation. You’d have to not care about democracy to upgrade democracy.
I think it’s dope if you are fundamentally querying a graph. Doing it manually is repetitive.
>the number of developers who can consistently produce useful and consistent HATEOAS APIs is…vanishingly small.

Because relatively few developers truly understand HATEOAS let alone REST. I think that did play a small part in the increased popularity of GraphQL.
Posted v8 a few weeks ago. I'm working on v9 now. I'm mostly working on readying the new crypto api, Zinc -- https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/770750/95c3c169634d1447/ -- and I'll be hopefully discussing it with some folks at the conference in Vancouver next week.

I'm Francis, I'm graduating from Boston University in December with a BA in computer science. I'm looking for a full time software engineering role. I started my own company, GrowPro where I worked on developing firmware to sense biometrics in a cannabis' plants environment , a RESTful backend, an image classifier using tensorflow, and an iOS application which ties this all together.

I've been a consultant to multiple startups where I have provided services in backend development, mainly developing RESTful APIs and deploying these applications to sustain high volume traffic using AWS: Elastic Beanstalk, cloudfront, etc. I'm currently working on an open source NPM package called Jiff-MPC. I released an iOS application called SetGov into production in 2017. Ideally I'd work at a small company with a great product focused on IoT where I can apply my skills to real-world production.
I mean, is there any natural saltwater in Switzerland? GP sounds a lot like the whole "I'll sell you a beachfront property in Arizona" thing.
It's still a good example though. I think maybe the difference here is wisdom is more generically applicable than most knowledge, but it's still knowledge.
Listening to their experiences is a pretty easy way. If they have a bunch of experiences you don't have they're likely to have a perspective worth reflecting on. As a bonus, listening to people makes them like you, too.

Not necessarily. Both overpopulation and climate change are problems. Even folks who don't drive CO2-spewing SUVs understand that. (I 'drive' a bicycle while spewing CO2 out my mouth, so there.)
