What does the trend to reduce the need for trust in human interactions say about the institution itself?
yes, i've assumed a functioning market where the interest rate correctly accounts for risk, but that does mean a small but non-zero chance of loss.

but simply being alive is risky; there are no guarantees in life.
The equivalent of `flatMap` is not `flatten`. Semantically `flatMap` is equivalent to `(comp flatten map)` – hence the name! – but Clojure does offer it as a single function named `mapcat` (”map and catenate”).

No, it would kill all American software/web startups by limiting them to 999,999 users, unless they have millions of dollars in VC funding that they can use to comply with this law. It would strangle the startup community, as most startups (even those with 1M+ users) can never hope to have the resources to comply. You have to remember that the reason that startups get any funding is because investors hope that they will be highly successful. If there is a guarantee of a huge compliance bill once the company reaches 1M users, far fewer companies will be funded.
Getting 999K users, while a milestone, isn't necessarily enough to raise the money necessary to comply with this law.

It's not a new concept.
You might be surprised if you don't require living in a highly walkable downtown core. In many places, such as Eastern Massachusetts, the jobs are pretty distributed around the area; it's only fairly recently that tech jobs have started to be located in the city at all. And you get an hour outside of Boston and there's quite a bit of housing in the $300-$400K range in many towns. That's not Midwest cheap but it's not $1.5M for a teardown either.

Of course, Cambridge and many areas of Boston proper are quite expensive (as are some of the tonier suburbs like Concord).

Silicon Valley is a bit unusual in that you can't really escape from high prices, in spite of being suburban sprawl, because of the geographical constraints.
Not gonna lie, I still can't parse what this is supposed to be after a number of readings. What's the actual sentence? I'm so curious :P

Generally speaking, judges and juries aren't idiots, and you can't hack around laws by claiming that your dog did it.
Usually, drafting a bill in advance would be a bad case of premature optimization. Regulation by definition restricts freedom, which is a negative thing in itself. Drafting and maintaining regulations costs money directly and increases complexity of the legal system. Regulators aren't omniscient, they aren't able to consider the entire problem space and pinpoint every issue that needs to be proactively focused on.

When a problem is known and risk judged high enough to outweigh the costs mentioned above, a proactive bill can be introduced.

(Or, at least this is how it's supposed to work; in practice, you also need to add politics and lobbying to the mix.)

Map making is quite a fascinating, and intricate business!

One tends to take maps for granted, but making a good one really does take quite a bit of work. (And just imagine how it was before satellite imagery, or even GPS...) For an interesting bit of cartographic history, read the story of Ordnance Survey in the UK: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/overview/history.html
The wiki model (without tweaks) isn't appropriate for newspapers, blogs, discussion forums etc though. Maybe no system would be ideal for all of them.

I think what I want is something that allows for technical improvement while maintaining authorial intent and "ownership" (in a conceptual if not legal sense) without optimising for consensus-gathering.

It's also not everywhere. Maybe what I'm after is a browser extension or something...
Running Facebook would become much cheaper if they could focus on being a social network instead of being an ad selling business. Right now they have to do both.
Also quite keen on working on projects involving statically typed / AOT compiled languages (though the project doesn't have to be exclusively using those, or interpreted / dynamic ones only, either), like D, Golang, Nim, Rust or Crystal. Have a good long commercial background (earlier) in compiled languages like C and Pascal (including team leader of a successful DB middleware product in C). Know some D [1]. Know some Go but not published anything on it yet.

what do you thinks harder? Getting a job as a CIA analyst or senior FAANG Developer?
We tried something like this. Minimal was still confusing a non-trivial percentage of the time. Testing locally it was around 0.9%, but in production under docker where execution is constrained to a single core, it seemed to happen much more often.

It is really confusing to the user to have the prompt in the middle of their output.
> Do they provide any value?

Yes. In fact, they provide "invaluable" emotional value.

> Do they generate profit at least?

Some do, after all they are like any other low margin business.
Did you set PYTHONUNBUFFERED=TRUE?

Python by default starts buffering output when it's not connected to a PTY, which causes a lot of issues with interactive output.
True, but the issue is that getting 1M+ installs isn't under the control of the developer. Sometimes things go viral - look at Flappy Bird. Under this law, that guy (if he were in the US) could be looking at decades in prison unless he took enough investment money to comply.
This law also uses a very broad definition of "personal information" that could possibly include IP addresses. So it does have an effect on the entire community, in the sense that every startup hopes to surpass 1M users, and this law will punish them for it.

I don't think it will pass as is, but if it does, this is truly a "sky is falling" moment for US startups. Because it effectively limits non-VC backed startups to less than 1M users, it also makes sure that there will never be a competitor to Facebook or Google. Like GDPR, it locks in entrenched competitors.
Yes, to an extent.

Legalizing it reduces the side effects of illegal street prostitution, like turf wars, used condoms, drug dealers targeting prostitutes, rapists targeting prostitutes. Pimps get more civilized (or are out of the game altogether).

Those things mentioned don't go away completely and what definitely stays: the stigma of buying sex. Thus the customers will still treat the area like something to rush through.

But that is still better, than having illegal street prostitution. If you have open conduct of illegal things in an area, other illegal things pop up too.

For the record: Where I grew up, we had "mom and pop" brothels in between residential areas and large scale ones in commercial/industrial zones. No problems. The only thing weird about it were some of the customers from time to time.
I'm glad to see all this attention being given to this absurd housing crisis and everyone can agree that a huge part of the problems comes down to NIMBYism, but is anything being done about it? Or are we just going to continue having the same conversation over and over again.

Agreed, Lisp will work on small environments pretty well. For smaller-still systems I'd recommend FORTH as a good alternative - as discussed in the article itself.

"Right to a platform". What does that mean? Can you generate an answer that isn't morally equivalent to a demand for FRAND terms for Alex Jones? Remember, FRAND is an exceptional case in commerce; it's (for instance) what you do to get your patented IPR into a global standard. It's not the expected default.
Buy used professional model instead. They will last much longer, while cost similar price. But usually, they are very dumb and feature-poor.

Cory Doctorow at Devcon iv
This happened to me I think every time I was interviewed. But this was only being left for a short time between interviews (but maybe I was told that some next step would happen in a few minutes). Waiting time depends from place to place. Eg at a small company in a glass walled room where whoever was to interview me next could see me from their desk, the waiting times were shorter.

I sympathise with feeling anxious about it but I suppose the only thing to do about that is to hope you won’t get long waiting times or to go to a lot of interviews and come to expect it.

I doubt it is a tactic as it doesn’t reflect well on the company. Are they looking for someone who won’t mind if their colleagues are late for a meeting?

Perhaps, perhaps not. I’ve seen things go both ways.

On the one hand, circa 2005 I made an audio recording at 16-bit/44k samples per second, of my graphics lecturer saying “40 joints, 24 samples per second, 16 bits per sample is a huge amount of data. A megabyte after only five minutes!” (My hard drive being 40 gig back then).

On the other hand, when I graduated I ended up seeing several of the algorithms he taught us in use in workplace that did a lot of highly optimised graphics processing.

Personally, I've heard of it in the context of https://github.com/commanded/commanded, a CQRS framework for Elixir that supports EventStore as a storage backend.

I think the idea is that it's something simpler than a database. It's more like an append-only file that has on-insert triggers/durable running queries. (Sort of like https://www.pipelinedb.com/ does, or like blockchain nodes do.)

Or, you could think of it as message queue like Kafka, with permanent durability of all "messages", and a single fixed subscriber bolted onto the queue server, where that subscriber is exposed through the queue server's API, allowing users to reprogram it arbitrarily.
Sure it can, but that wasn't the question. Rather what happened to the code I have written.

NDAs make us not able to tell about stuff.

What magic variant of C or C++ compiler are you using that throws errors on buffer corruption, unless you are speaking about using code with debugging mode enabled in production instead of using a proper release build.

My point is exactly the opposite of saying the two are comparable...

The idea is that when Electronic Intifada's webhost or their donation processor or Twitter decides they want some positive PR, more and more they can safely say "It isn't a website that respectfully questions orthodoxy regarding US foreign policy. It's anti-Semitic abuse." That doesn't mean I think EI and Gab are comparable, it means I think other people with connections and power think they are, or it benefits them to normalize the comparison.

Isn't that kind of the point? I'm not anti-google/facebook in the least, and like to think that I'm knowingly trading some privacy in return for ad-supported services that have value to me. But it's tough to think of any compelling arguments for why companies making billions shouldn't be required to a) provide some minimal level of care over the data they collect, and b) disclose what they're doing with all that data. How will that bring about a tech winter?
Did something similar in the late 90’s / early aughts.

Figured out the default password scheme for teachers.

Found several teacher accounts that didn’t change their default password.

Teacher accounts could write to network drives when students couldn’t.

Put games like it, quake 2 and c&c ra2 on the network.

Lasted about six months.

A student I had confided in ratted me out.

I was no longer permitted to touch another school computer.

I failed every class that required me to use a school computer.

Despite the fact I brought my own laptop to school, they wouldn’t let me use it.

Formal education and I never got along after that.
I think that's the purpose of the finder patterns.

From a Source image I imagine you would locate the finders, find the edges, unskew the source image, and use the finders to correct the rotational orientation, and then crop the image. Maybe binarize the new image to make the next step easier.

At that point, it's a matter of working out the size of each cell to generate a grid to drop on top of the image. Then you can sample each cell of the grid. If it's light, 1. If it's dark 0. Now you have the pixel map.

I am sure it's more complex, but I think a lot of this sounds like stuff you could do with openCV
I mean if you really believe you can do it you probably should and cash in easy multimillion dollar cheques from campaigns looking for this service.
Forbidden characters can occur in other string representations, like length + data.

Escape sequences are higher level syntax being represented by the string; they don't belong in the string representation.

A transfer encoding like UTF-8 isn't a string representation either.

Manipulation of syntaxes and encodings stored in character strings can be buggy. The representation does contribute to the risk. E.g. if a UTF-8 decoder doesn't reject overlong forms, then a null character can be encoded in the middle of the data so that to the buggy function or program, it looks like a different string from one that was validated earlier.
"Wyden would also create a national “Do Not Track” system to stop companies from tracking internet users by sharing or selling data and targeting advertisements based on their personal information."

Why not just reform EULAs so that people have more power over what they're often blindly agreeing to? If people could easily see the details and to what they're agreeing to and have more power over certain clauses, I think market forces would take the industry into a different direction, and there'd be more transparency. I don't always believe a market-solution is optimal, but in this case, it seems right.

Bob: But what does it do with the string? What's it for? Why should I use it?

Alice: Hey, I just gave you the full documentation for my function. You have everything you need. Now go use it.

Bob: Um, no thanks. I like to know more about what I'm getting myself in to.

Rereading, I realize we're talking about slightly different things.

I'm talking about the labor market in general, and my point is that your value is not $X/year, your work's value is, and it's good for your mental health to make that distinction, whether X happens to be high or low.

You're talking about understanding the recruiter's incentives, and you're right that, like any sales people, they've focused on making the sale and getting their commission.

Understand that your desires will be there. Desires lead to anger (either when they’re unfulfilled, or once they’re fulfilled and you’re on to the next thing). When you’re angry, you’re not going to think straight and end up confused, and when you’re confused, things go awry.

Also understand that ultimately you are not in control of what comes into your hands, and at any moment things can completely explode. So try not to work for the sake of what you get out of it, but try and enjoy your work for work’s sake.

Ultimately if you proceed in this way, true understanding will fill the space that your unfulfilled desires currently occupy. And if you can genuinely devote yourself to that mindset, your desires will melt away and you will truly find what you are seeking in wealth.
