Agreed. Makes the Dockerfile much more portable as you don't need build-tooling on the host to make a Docker image of the program. It is also really great when doing CI because you can use the Docker image layer cache to cache build/dev dependencies.

Yes, the part where Facebook is paying people to spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and supporting SESTA.
It's not a payment it's a tax break. If HQ2 was not in NYC they would not get the tax revenue anyway.
This is such a terrible deal for NYC.

For the last decade Cuomo has been giving subsidy after subsidy, tax break after tax break, to corporations from Long Island to upstate New York. Each one came with projected revenues and gains, and each and every one failed miserably and ended up costing NY taxpayers countless billions - while most of the corporations walked away with a profit.

Why can't they create jobs and make a difference in NYC? Plenty of underrepresented developers and future developers in NYC who will benefit from these new jobs.

I don't have familiarity with Google Cloud though. And in fairness I used Azure for a feature AWS didn't have anything close to (service bus queues), I can see why having really well built things like that get them huge deals. Microsoft know what they're doing in those markets.
Trying to understand your position... do you think Israel, a democracy, shouldn't have been able to decide to make that deal?

Who was Israel harming by making that decision?

Is a deal made freely and with complete information between two parties always "extortion", if it turns out with the benefit of hindsight not to have turned out to be in the best interests of one of the parties?
Conflating leftist anti-gentrification activists with property owners worried about their property value all under the label "NIMBY"...it's unhelpful in understanding the world.
Yes. In emulation, you have one chip architecture trying to mock the behavior of another chip architecture (like running ARM code on x86). In virtualization, you're setting up secure contexts, but sending the instruction for the code in the container straight to the CPU without translation.

It probably depends on the BigCo... I'm happier on the product side of the fence at my current BigCo gig than I think I would be on the support side, though at somewhere like Google with a strong SRE culture and a tendency to kill many products it might be the other way around. I'd probably be happiest if I got to do a bit of both again, but BigCos love specialization.

Though even within a BigCo it just depends on the team sometimes. I talk to a few people who are very happy on the support side, much happier than being in product before, I also talk to others who aren't at all happy. I've seen teams and managers evaporate on both sides too. In my sample of one the biggest sources of frustration on either side seem to be the priorities of upper management, and there can even be mutual frustration. Like some people on product will get annoyed at support people for not providing enough support in something (e.g. test automation infrastructure), but support people are equally annoyed at not being able to provide enough support because upper management decided to shift more resources to product.

No, it's more than that. While that struct might be a generic overrun, the question is how you check bounds on filling buf. The paper is discussing that schemes to constrain buffer size using a global hardware or software address-based size constraints ("low-fat") as bounds checks are less safe than claimed.
Uber's been buying revenue at the cost of margin in at least two ways by shifting rides to Pool (where they can declare the entire ride's cost as revenue, not just their cut), and ramping up Uber Eats (where they take a percentage of the total cost of the food and may actually lose money on the ride). Neither strategy can continue indefinitely.
Your proposals sound to me like someone going to a casino with a surefire winning strategy assuming they have more money than the house.

Please explain (or cite a source that does) how you roll out a basic income in a way that doesn't create new schemes that leave more money on the table to be hoovered up by the oligarchic corporations. I strongly biased to believe that if you add resources arbitrarily to a human society, then a segment of the population will, will, find a way to capture them.
"Berlin" as in the people who lived there decided it did want tech expansion. "New York" as in its politicians dealing in backrooms decided it did want tech expansion. Those are different things.
Doesn’t NYC have a housing crisis already? I’m not sure they need a worse one coupled with the gentrifying forces of thousands of tech employees moving in.

$1.5 billion in housing or just really anything to help people who already live there is what should happen.
It seems to me like this is kind of like advertising: it’s a local benefit, but a net loss. Someone, somewhere, is giving a huge amount of money to Amazon. Considering Amazons wealth and power, is this what we should be doing as a society?

In particular, we don’t need to do this. If everyone said “no deal,” Amazon would be forced to behave as anyone else: consider each area based on its true merits, and make a decision accordingly.

In other words, the growth occurs regardless. No gifts needed.

No opinion on the actual policy, but it infuriates me when the weasel words "paid for" are used in contexts like this. Giving a company or a person a tax write-off is not a "cost" to taxpayers, unless you assume a) the alternative reality was 100% likely and these exemptions had no effect on the final outcome, which is obviously a positive net revenue expectation, and b) saying tax reductions are a "cost" to tax payers implies the taxman by default has a claim on all income and only by the graciousness of politicians do we earn the right to keep any of it.
Going to New York is a political move. They could have set up in the midwest, paid everyone 75% as much as the going rate in NY or silicon valley, and the employees would have 50% more expendable income than they are used to. This wasn't for the employees.
> There are going to be many current NYC citizens who simply switch jobs to Amazon. Therefore they won't contribute any incremental tax increase.

How about for tech workers to get a raise? Or to move to a different part of the city? And besides, this is just conjecture. Do you have any data or polls or even anecdata which supports your claim?
Reading more on what you shared, and a more contemporary study [1], I think the issue is that when I say "homeless", I'm talking about the chronic homeless in unsheltered situations in Los Angeles. Many of those who are also commenting here live in LA & SF, where we have the largest number of unsheltered homeless in the US, per capita.

All that being said, this survey seems to be absolute junk (the mayor survey, which is cited elsewhere). The survey instrument is at the bottom of the page and is remarkably subjective / at the whims of the reviewer. The word "alcohol" shows up once in that whole report. As does the word "drug[s]".

I'd argue the tests is more important for example Oracle is still the leading commercial DB, If your product works people will buy it.
I agree, solving for the optimal solution is generally an NP hard problem when dealing with real world constraints. The real world is not a word problem in a math textbook.

In practice you can often get away with improving an existing system instead of finding the "best" solution to the problem. This is what pragmatic people do, and it is often a lot easier than we think it is.

If you frame the problem as "finding the best possible solution to the bus routing problem factoring in all the needs of the populace", I would agree that's a very hard problem. If you frame the problem as "can we improve the existing Boston bus routing system", it will likely be a lot easier. Always remember that perfect is the enemy of done.
> They also mention how true bipartisan laws like the New Deal and the Civil Rights Act just don't get passed anymore,

The New Deal and Civil Rights Act were earthshaking bills that broke the existing partisan alignment and caused a realignment around them; they didn't happen often before, the two of them happening without a few decades was essentially unprecedented in US history.

Bemoaning that things like that don't happen anymore is...odd.

And, yes, the period of realignment that started with the New Deal, was just seeming to settle out before being reignited with the Civil Rights Act, and was largely complete by the mid-1990s, when the few surviving conservative Democratic holdouts finally jumped ship in the wake of the 1994 election had more other “bipartisan” legislation than was normal before or since, because the national parties and the major national ideological factions were out of alignment.
> They elected the people that made that decision. If they don't like it, they can vote them out.

It seems you didn't read my prior comment, some of their elected officials are opposed to Amazon moving in.

> Citing an example of some Berliner NIMBYs is not really helping your argument.

It shows how a community can fight back. Much of the change mega-corps bring to the neighborhoods and cities they set up shop in is not good, current locals definitely have a right to reject.

> election interference in the U.S.

Election interference all over the world.

Fiji had elections yesterday. Before election day we have a mandatory 48hr blackout period where the media are forbidden from publishing or broadcasting political news, opinions, or ads.

When the blackout period started, three fake accounts named after and posing as the top media outlets in Fiji appeared and began posting highly controversial and damaging fake news designed to make opposition parties look bad. These fake news posts were all promoted (FB made a lot of money off them).

Despite FB saying they'd make political ads more transparent by showing who paid for them, they have not done so. The fake news could have been generated by Indonesia (in support of the current Fiji govt which turns a blind eye to their occupation/genocide in West Papua) or by Qorvis, the US corp that supports tyrants everywhere with propaganda and media manipulation (and who are on the Fiji govt payroll). Either way, FB is complicit and in refusing to divulge who paid for the ads, is showing they just don't give a damn.

Ubuntu backed out of the Amazon search deal after community pressure:

I think the comparison with Google is still way off, by the way. Android is basically ad/malware, and there is no reason to believe ChromeOS will be much different.
This is great! Thanks for sharing. I can recommend a small change to get most out of docker caching and reducing docker build times to the maximum extent.

In the "builder" you only need package.json and package-lock.json files to install dependencies. The rest of the sources can be copied in the "scratch-node" image. This would make caching work till the last line where only code changes are included. Code is modified much more frequently than dependencies.

You sample can look like this:

FROM node as builder

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json package-lock.json index.js ./

RUN npm install --prod

FROM astefanutti/scratch-node

COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules /node_modules

COPY ./ ./

ENTRYPOINT ["./node", "index.js"]
Amazon has created a lot of jobs and caused mind-boggling amounts of economic growth in Seattle, but it is very, very unpopular there.

It turns out things are a bit more complicated than "a rising tide lifts all boats". A smaller city than NYC might not have been able to absorb the impact.
Next time someone defending Amazon tells you that the internet is a level playing field... Point to this.
I don't know who you are referring to as NYC, but citizens of USA as a whole are worse off. Pitting one USA municipality against another to extract subsidy for what Amazon would do anyways is just another mechanism for wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

A better deal would have been not paying 48K per job and still getting Amazon to NYC.

An equally good deal would have been not paying 48K and getting Amazon elsewhere in the US. I mean, not for NYC, but for the US as a whole it would have been equally good.

How exactly is saying Azure isn't based on "horrible tech," "harmful?" None of the big cloud providers are based on "horrible tech." Your statement provides anecdotes but no data that proves this as "harmful."

>anything to help people who already live there is what should happen.

People who live here will benefit from this. NYC has a much more diverse candidate pool than SV - 47% of our tech workers are immigrants. Our schools are more diverse; there are more programs to teach underrepresented groups CS skills. They will benefit from this.

>gentrifying forces of a thousands of tech employees.

Can you explain how gentrification will actually play out, and how it's different than 25k jobs being created organically over the next decade?

Except the universe isn't infinite.

It's true the universe is very large and feels infinite, but we know that it's about 25 billion galaxies (the size of the Milky Way) and that it has finite mass.

Sure, these numbers are incredibly large, but like you said, we're dealing with probabilities that are also incredibly small. There should be a cutoff somewhere for the observable universe as to what it is probable or improbable of producing.

IMHO it would be better to capitalize the OTG structure field names according to the standard. This would turn "avalidoven" into "AvalidOvEn", which makes much more sense: it's the "A-side session valid override enable bit", which allows the software to override the "Avalid" signal with the value from AvalidOvVal.

Also, this needs a (2017) tag.
To me it is evil in the sense that this is taking advantage of the public interest.

For the community on a pure economic sense this might be seen as a good investment, but these kinds of tax incentives just further set apart the position of smaller companies and large corporates.

Imagine a mom&pop bakery with a 20year history receiving a comparable pile of money per job created, soon enough they wouldn't be small anymore.

To me the ability these deals have to further push for monopolys is simply unethical, but I'm german and have different sensibilities I guess.

I see a few sites listed on here, but one of the most valuable skills that allowed me to become a software engineer was the ability to find this kind of information and reason about it.

I would encourage you to (if possible) sit with your son and just observe as he tries to figure out things. When he asks questions, try to respond with questions that prompt him to refine the questions he is asking, until he answers it himself.

This was something I had to learn on my own, and I've seen resources every now and then referring to this as "grit" or "persistence". In learning software engineering, I've found a lot of things boil down to getting the questions right, rather than the answers.

A big part of that is developing the vocabulary and grammar used to speak and reason about web development. Learning that was a ton of googling and head scratching till things started to click.

There're tons of Uighurs, Tibetians living in peace in China. Plenty of them also live in the east part of China, and plenty of Han people live in Xinjiang and Tibet as well. Falun Gong is banned, yeah, and most Chinese would support that. The government has nothing against minority groups, but it would take actions if: they become a threat to public safety; they become extremists and possibly engage in terrorism, no matter which ethnic group they are; they try to separate part of China out of the country (that's a red line for the government); they attempt to overthrown the government (yeah that's another red line). I wouldn't say there're no wrong-doings when the government take actions, but it's certainly not a concern for most Chinese citizens.
No, you don’t understand, an actual crisis is something that affects growth.
Thank you! I’ll probably further explore hmh. I have a draft implementation which I’ll compare to related structures soon. A key advantage that hyperminhash has is the ability to sample, if one is using a large enough sampled point and a reversible hash, which could be helpful for certain applications. (Since hll discards all input items)

In fact, I spend 8 bits per entry to facilitate SIMD acceleration, but I’m happy with the speed/memory tradeoff.

A lot of issues are eliminated by using Ertl’s MLE or JMLE formulas, but I do see how sets of combinatorial comparisons could be helped with hmh.
