That's true--you can add the ability to seek, in which case the stream becomes like a file.

Whether or not that's desirable depends on what kind of programs you're writing. For programs like databases that traditionally store things using the filesystem, that's probably a very useful abstraction, and some people at VMware have actually implemented an "RDMA over the filesystem" abstraction, which is super cool: https://256fd102-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/mk....

If you're looking for an abstraction with which to directly implement programs that use data structures, however, I still think pointers are much more valuable than files because files are not strongly typed, and it's easy to read junk due to type errors and lack of structure.
That statement fails on the face of mainframes and commercial UNIX environments, which also have platform debuggers.

Also fails regarding other FOSS languages like Python, which have had a debugger since ever.

Feller's two volume classic [1] has plenty of motivation - his exposition of combinatorics at the beginning of the first volume is a great introduction to that subject! However, it wasn't written with algorithms in mind.

Venkatesh's more recent volume [2] is very well motivated and is better suited to modern engineering applications. Both have lots of exercises.

People who work in sick environments will not be saved by Agile. These techniques are meant for teams that already have members who trust each other, in a company that trusts the team, to work with customers they know, who would like a usable product that they can develop and extend the requirements for as they learn more about how it will work.

It helps prevent the sicknesses that come from attempting to do all this up front, where an eager team and an innovative customer try to specify everything up front and nail down a price tag right away.

It should be sold to management as a form of risk management, not as a way to extract more value from a fixed amount of dollars. If you have $4 million to spend, and you spend that up front, you may waste $4 million. If you spend it bit by bit, and have a functional system after every few weeks, that you can migrate to if you like, then you have not wasted any money, even if you end up throwing it away partway through.

I agree with anyone who says the problem with Agile is that it is watered down. It was a least-common-denominator of all the various similar techniques, and I think a lot was lost by encouraging people to adopt Scrum instead of eXtreme Programming.

Nevertheless, I've consulted on a lot of projects and there are environments in which I would not want to attempt to implement any new methodology. The people already hate each other and the system is totally sick. They need something more like Deming's management techniques where they get the top to commit to empowering the bottom, retrain and move out people who are in the wrong job, and get a remaining nucleus of players who trust each other to implement a new method (or their own).

What ends up happening is programmers come into sick environments, run by "Agile" managers, and say that Agile is the problem and if they could just go back to their office and ignore everyone they could get it done. They're probably half right, in that they also need the full support of the customer. Since programmers are a noisy bunch, they complain far and wide about Agile, saying that it's the cause of all the diseases in their world. But sick systems often have names that are misleading. Deming once saw a poster on a client's break-room wall (or something) touting "Total Quality Management" and he said something to the effect of, "I hope that you aren't predisposed to think I'm wrong because of this", meaning that someone had already set up a sick system and claimed it was inspired by Deming.

vxWorks, eCos, WebOS, Symbian, RISCOS, the BSDs, and QNX aren't exactly special to a board. Nor are L4 or Mach single-platform kernels.

If it's a bit cheaper per unit to port something that's not Linux onto something you never expect an end user to access directly, that's what a manufacturer is often going to do. There are toolchains for many operating systems for many processors. Not all the world is Linux and not all the world is designed to be a general purpose computer system.

The reason these low price developer/maker boards are designed is because they can be put together for a low price. They reuse components designed to run a stack or maybe one of a few stacks in embedded devices produced at scale. Either the board maker supports it, or if enough demand for the software exists the community will help support it.

I remember Flight of the Conchords was a huge hit in the Bay area in 2007-2009 amongst the hipster-ish and nerdy crowd. We used to torrent it =) along with HyperDrive (British comedy set in space) and the super popular IT Crowds. All great shows.

I use vim routinely - it has gotten a lot of work done through the years. My only real complaint is that it doesn't support more of my work - with support for diagrams and support for more extensive text formatting. Way back in the 80's there were editors which had modes to work exclusively with ASCII text - while at the same time supporting "hidden,folded" information about graphics and fonts. So it is certainly possible to have "ssh mode" display and capabilities while also supporting additional information in "hidden" file "extents/forks" such as those which already exist in many modern operating systems.
However using //go:generate feels like using pre-processor macros on Borland C++ for MS-DOS on the version prior to initial templates support.

As an artist with 250k streams myself, I don't really think that you should directly compare it to CD sales etc.

If you compare it like this: a single play on a popular radio show can get you 250k listeners and you get payed well below 50$ per play.

So getting a couple grand for 1mio plays vs. ~250$ for some airtime on the radio seems like a decent deal to me.
This is bullshit. It used to be possible to make a living off of selling recorded music, whether records or cds, and people cared about, and bought albums, in large numbers. Now the only way to make money if you’re not nationally famous is gigging. Gigging used to be something you did to get people to buy your singles and albums. That was where the money was and that was how mid-list artists made a living. Now that’s gone. The midlist are people trying to make it, on the way out or being supported by daddy’s money.

Things are different now. Records and cds lead to more people being able to make a living making music.

A more sensible choice than "The Humans Are Dead"
Humans are social creatures, and we are more isolated than we've ever been even though we are better connected than we've ever been. I don't think social media is to blame, just as i don't think fast food is to blame for obscenity epidemic, but i do think that social media has certainly, consciously leveraged certain weakness of humans in modern society to create addictive substances which cause more harm than good for most people.

Google started the trend of LSM with its release of leveldb. But leveldb hasn't been updated in a long time. Facebook forked leveldb and renamed it to rocksdb. Those are the only two LSM databases I know of, and IMO they are really the same thing. Meanwhile, lmdb vs. rocksdb/leveldb is a frequently asked question that seems to have no clear answer. Test on your hardware to find the best solution for your use case.
Hypergolic doesn't mean "bad stuff", "highly toxic" or "carcinogenic" though, it just means "ignites on its own" (it's usually though not necessarily a combination of a fuel and an oxidiser[0])

Then again, hypergolic components are generally extremely toxic or ridiculously corrosive or both.

[0] generally because e.g. Chlorine Trifluoride is such a strong oxidiser it's famously[1] hypergolic with stuff not usually considered "fuel" like cloth, people, water, sand or asbestos

If talk to boss, then change jobs if there's no remedy, is not an option: Maybe try getting better quality lights in your cubicle, and adding a few medium sized potted plants. I put some high CRI LED lights and some ferns and such in my nook at one of my workplaces, and it made a pretty big difference in my mood.

The lights I've gotten from YujiLEDs[0] tend to work well, and measure well for this purpose, but they're pricier than commodity LEDs.

Misogyny is not violence. Violence may be motivated by violence, but in itself it is not violence. She follow the disturbing trend to call words and speech "violence"

> “It is without doubt that social media has allowed this to happen,” she says of the toxic moment we’re in. “It has created the opportunity for men with anti-feminist ideas to broadcast their views to more people than ever before – and to spread conspiracy theories, lies and misinformation

Even if you believe what shes trying to explain, why is it unique for men? Radical feminists do the same thing, just reversed. Anyone with any hateful opinion can speak on the internet.
yeah, who knows. im not a fan of air conditioning. never been. maybe my mind just decided "youre not gonna spend your time here boy, open plan offices are nonsense" and it was all psychosomatic.

funny is the three months contract i had right before this experience was in winter and i had the pleasure to sit right next to a window having it open almost all the time facing my back, letting in precious oxygen. paradise ! so it was not cold air per-se.

To me, that sentence reads as that it's possible for a CNAME to point to an IP, but that someone has a need to point it to a domain. Which makes the sentence incorrect, since it assumes something impossible, and explains hacknat's urge to correct it.
The culture we have versus the Culture we want?
I don't mean this to be combative, but what makes you assume it is genetics? The amount of conflicting and often known false "health" information out there makes it very likely that you just haven't tried the right change yet. Try cutting out polyunsaturated fats and using coconut oil for cooking. PUFA are broken down into toxic free radicals by lipid peroxidation. Long term exposure to these free radicals causes hormonal problems including thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance and leptin insensitivity. Eliminating PUFA and upping your anti-oxidant intake is much easier than most other diet options as long as you cook for yourself. Unfortunately it is essentially impossible if you want to buy pre-made food as almost all of it contains "vegetable oil".

This is fucked up but not because of a Government regulation which has good intentions and not because of Upwork who is trying to reduce its client's co-employment risk. All freelancers come across this situation over time and all are amazed but it is very reasonable.

The labor laws in place are to safeguard companies from using employees in a fulltime manner but treating them as freelancers so they dont pay the 10% employer tax, or sick leave or vacation or minimum wage or overtime. Once you start hitting over 30 hrs/week, and for more than 3 months workign for the same company- you are hitting the red warning flags that either the IRS is going to start asking questions about why they're not getting the employer tax, if th freelancer claims unemployment they are going to look for the last employer. and the freelancer might himself decide to sue the client claiming he was misclassifed as a contractor.

In this case all he has to do is enroll in the payroll service, pay a little more in taxes and reduce the co-employment risk to his client in exchange for more regular work. If not diversify your client base.
You are experiencing the fake 'agile'. Where in the agile manifesto do you see anything about mandatory sprints? See, you are doing a forced process but some sleazy management is calling it agile because the word once got popular among software devs.
So about half a cent per stream in payout? I have no experience in the music industry but as a consumer somewhere around a cent per song is what I would imagine would be reasonable to charge.

So this is in the ballpark of my expectations - as a consumer.

Billionaires, Not Voters, Are Deciding Elections
Twisted doesn't support Python 3, which is problematic for some projects. I've also always found the code it produces difficult to test.
I think this question is part of the problem. Every stream is actually negative revenue for Spotify. It costs them money to have a song in catalog that is amortized per stream, and it costs them money to stream that song each time. And some listeners are paying a subscription, which means fixed revenue but variable streams and therefore costs. While others are ad-based model, so hopefully variable revenue but guaranteed positive per stream...
I’ve used LMDB as a simpler alternative to SQLite as “an alternative to fopen”. The goal was simply robust file writes in the face of unpredictable server reboots for a tiny Python program writing data to be processed later by a tiny C++ program.

That’s harder than it sounds to roll by hand with fopen. SQLite with write ahead logging is pretty much as good as it gets for reliablity, but SQL at all was overkill for the task. LMDB is a close second and it’s memory mapped key-value interface is much simpler. . Would write again.

The competition of the free market leaves little room for morality or justice. The tragedy of the commons strikes again: "if we dont, the other city will get all the benefit and none of the loss" and we are apparently too averse to regulations in the US to actually cooperate in our best interest.
In the article, there are 6 paragraphs on the recent negative study results, followed by 15 paragraphs suggesting possible benefits either out of scope of the two recent studies, or potential future avenues of research.

NPR's title is certainly accurate for the portion on the two studies, but ~3/4 of the text is not about the negative study results. So, while it's not the most misleading headline ever to grace the orange site, it's not exactly representative of the text either.

Since the comment yesterday, the HN headline has changed to "Long-Awaited Study Results on Vitamin D and Fish Oil Supplements," dropping "disappointing."

The job of Amazon, or any corporation, is not to just "increase their bottom line" nor is the job of governments to "increase their tax bases". Both classes of entity are allowed to exist by communities of human beings in order to make our lives better than they would be otherwise. We're smart enough to know that we don't have all the answers, so we allow people to create different structures under different rules and with different incentives. But the root reason corporation (and governments) are allowed to exist is the public good. A corporation that exists only for itself is just a weak attempt at a gray goo scenario.

This is very much philosophy rather than practical rules, and perhaps you were speaking on a practical level rather than a philosophical one. But too many people seem to think that corporations (and governments) have some inherent right to exist and do what they chose, and forget that both exist only with our collective permission.
Upwork, Freelancer.com & friends are equally well-known to do this.

Why should the EU care? It seems like these rules exist in order to effectively subsidize more expensive governments. If France did what Ireland did, France would collapse under its own weight, so the EU uses these rules to protect less competitive member countries. So the EU pushes things like minimum tax rates rather than alternatively pushing maximum tax rates. If an EU country proposed a 50% corporate tax, the EU would be ok with that, but if a member proposed a 2% taxe, the EU would lose their mind.

They didn't "forget" rather those security issues have nothing to do with JSON itself. Probably the only reason section 12 made it into the document was to highlight that, unlike most derived standards, you should not parse this directly in the parent domain.

There is plenty of evidence of brain injury, just no evidence of how it happened or what agent(s) caused it. And how about the coincidence that the hard line position of the new US government lines up perfectly with the desires of hard line Cubans, Russia, and China. You insinuate that the new administration is the only group of people in the world interested in scuttling normalization.
