What if stuff is `} //`?

Basically you are trying to say we want to discover some kind of semantic structure from just a prefix of the textual form of the code. We can do a partial parse and see what's possible right after the string literal; and if there's only one possibility, we JIT it. But without full code, we can't really do much JIT at all.
Not to mention there are no PCIe switches with it. You'd have to wait for Avago/PLX/Broadcom/whatever it's called now to update them.
I don't think that would satisfy the requirements of the directive:

> Any complaint
filed under such mechanisms shall be
processed without undue delay and be
subject to human review. Right holders
shall reasonably justify their decisions to
avoid arbitrary dismissal of complaints.

It also requires Member States to ensure "that users have
access to an independent body for the
resolution of disputes as well as to a court
or another relevant judicial authority to
assert the use of an exception or
limitation to copyright rules".

That's not a constructive attitude.

While it's true that the way estimates often are treated is not particularly constructive either but rather more of a fool's errand blanket statements like "estimating software work is impossible" aren't conducive to improving anything. The only thing statements like that are likely to achieve is to alienate people.

Software project estimates aren't an exact science but with experience it's quite possible to provide estimates within a margin of error. Whether those estimates are useful in turn entirely depends on what they're used for (e.g. informing a build-measure-learn cycle rather than for blame-shifting once something goes wrong).
Their results are that standing desks help with back problems, but don't provide cardiovascular exercise - yea, not shit. This is exactly what everyone thought, so I have no idea why this click-baity article exists.

Standing desks don't cure cancer, they don't stop baldness, and they won't do anything for your allergies either, I'm shocked they didn't include these as reasons standing desks are "overrated".
At work, I hate sitting (despite owning a couple very specific chairs that I'm actually comfortably in) and I also hate standing.

Both seem to keep my body/mind tense - which is at odds with the deep focusing/relaxation I need for working on creative solutions for long stretches of time.

Very recently I discovered the wonders of beanbags, reclinable armchairs, and so on. I might even try a hammock one day. All these mix well with wireless keyboard/trackpad + a projector.

Looking forward to build my next-gen home office in this style (current sofa/projector combo is just me squatting the office event room).

Yes, this can make jobs, and also some individuals very wealthy, but this is a net loss for the users of the internet: just another channel controlled by profit-seeking corporate motives.
Seems to me that one interesting approach would be to automatically rewrite a program in continuation-passing style, and then use callbacks (the lowest-overhead approach) where the callback is the continuation.

It ought to compile pretty cleanly, since a continuation can end up being compiled into an address.
Well, the article claims it is patented. Maybe just shoddy reporting, though. Anyway I always thought the reason all throttles don't work this way was not because no-one had the idea, but for safety concerns.
"A key finding of the new study is that these artificial neural networks, when fed example sentences, give off patterns of energy that mimic what the brain does when it processes a sentence."

I wish the article fleshed out more details about the research. It looks like they found a correlation between the output of a specific ANN that seems similar to observed neural oscillations in the brain. The causality claim in the article seems premature.

Also curious if the neural encoding of grammar is consistent across different languages. So many questions about the specifics, but cool research for sure.
Pre-screening is a huge burden indeed. Yet if we start with the assumption that copyright law is good in principle, I can sort of see the point of copyright holders:

That burden or identifying infringing content exists no matter what. Right now, it falls on the creators to patrol the internet and play wack-a-mole with infringing uploads.

I can't really come up with an argument why creators should be saddled with that effort, when they get nothing out of it by default. Whereas all the profits accrue with the platforms.

It also seems trivially obvious that it's far easier for a platform to run some algorithm on their content, than it is for every single photographer and/or musician, author, etc. The latter would require an effort on the scale of Googlebot.

If youtube wants to profit from the possibilities new technology creates, they are on the hook to create the concomitant tools to prevent harms. It's no different than, say, an inventor pushing a new method to synthesize insulin being responsible for its safety. If it's impossible to do so, they can't just throw up their hands, point to their best effort, and tell patients to "take adequate precautions".
in-your-head type problems are perfectly valid! I never said or implied otherwise, I merely gave a possible solution.
Probably true for pen testers, forensics, or immediate response. I refer to architecture roles. I don't do on call anymore, my family comes first.
> any eval is bad

Saying eval is just confusing the concept with the implementation. There's no evidence that metaprogramming is "bad" unless you are ready to define "bad". Might as well say pointers are "bad" in the same vein.
> Funny, the strike price ($359.87) is already below the current stock price (360.47)

Not any more (as of 1:15pm EST) the stock price is $357.30. either way the exact minute to minute price now doesn't particularly matter because we're outside the window.
After I read about what passes for extra-virgin olive oil in the US I decided to try and get my hands on some domestic certified extra-virgin: I was blown away. I won't buy anything else now (not because of an article but because of the flavor.) It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the cheap stuff found in grocery stores is just canola oil and green food coloring.
Mainly that. Furthermore, the topics of mutual vulnerability (both parties are defenseless during a hug), joint attention, synchronicity in movement (which reinforces bonding) are ignored in favour things that are easier to replicate, such as the anxiolytic qualities of chest compression.

In a way, a good consensual hug is a powerful promise of support and protection.
1. working on some of that now, going to hand-roll multi auth combined with password logins. I don't want to outsource my actual users' authentication beyond oauth to FB/Twitter etc.

2. I don't. If it's SQL, I use a tagged template string library, and just project from the response of the given library. If it's mono or similar, I don't see the point so much. I understand you can use type checking, but you can still do that at the API layer.

As to the data layer, I agree... client side libraries and abstractions should be different from server-side tech... though there's some overlap (libraries that sync client-server for you).

Yes and no. Should you keep using HTTP calls for adding an item to a cart? Possibly. Should you use HTTP calls to communicate between services, let's say, to poll a resource every second and know if a worker has finished, when there are better systems and there's good enough technology available to support a higher throughput? Not so much.
I'm looking for evidence that it's "overrated". "Overrated" here means they're valued as a tool to improve cardiovascular health, when they don't provide that benefit.

I've never actually seen a standing desk advertised, or even recommended, as a tool for improving cardiovascular health. So I don't see how they can be "rated" as such.

I use a standing desk sometimes because it breaks up the monotony of sitting, and because sometimes I want to stretch my legs. It does well in that regard, and that's what I see them being advertised for.
The reason we were given was that they believed that true innovation could only be found by sitting around a physical table discussing ideas.

I actually ran into the CEO a year after this happened and he still believed it to be true. "There's no way we would've been able to pull off our last pivot without everyone sitting around the table late at night spitting out ideas".

Oh well. I'm at a better company now.

You'd probably see search engines & other traffic generators (e.g. reddit) simply vertically integrating into news itself, which nobody wants.

For example, Microsoft already owns CBS interactive and would push more news traffic there with Bing results, rather than pay a link tax to third parties.
I don't think the GP is talking about somewhere like "Austin/Atlanta/Raleigh" I would consider those places big cities. They are probably talking about a city that's 50,000-100,000 people, not a major metro.
I don't think pasting tokens with ## is such a common practice at all, and it certainly must be used prudently in order to avoid producing unreadable code. Myself I used it for one little thing (I posted it above) to get nicer code. I needed it because I had pointers of various types and wanted to associate data of a fixed type with each of the pointers. So I simply made an enum of BUFFER_pointername symbols which I then can use to associate arbitrary data with them. I cannot go the other way (i.e. making a link from the extra data to the pointer) because then the pointer type information gets lost - I would need to go with a void pointer and add the actual type in lots of places.

I also don't like putting the pointer together with the extra data because that means dependencies, and also I want a simple bare pointer to the array data (instead of a struct containing such pointer) that I can index in a simple way.

I also don't like the stretchy_buffer approach where you put the metadata in front of the actual buffer data. Again, because of dependencies.

The alternative would have been to go for C++ and make a complicated templated class. I don't use C++ and templates are a rathole on their own. So a single ## in my code solves this issue. I'm happy with it for now.

I think this is an interesting insight: Google is, in a way, competing with the pages it links to. If you can find the info you want, and click on an ad while still on a google owned domain: they make more money.

We've seem some shots fired in this battle already. In the earlier days of google search for something with a clear cut answer, and you'd likely see the answer in the summary. Sites missed out on that traffic so they started moving the answer lower down in the page, with poorly written teaser summaries in the results. Now google is showing a large block at the top of the page with it's guess to the answer at the top.
> I agree with the sibling comment about how it's ridiculous to consider "market rate" to just be the very high salaries offered at the handful of large tech companies. (Tech companies, who btw have the capacity to establish satellite offices at secondary hubs, and also sometimes do already.)

With absolutely no offense intended, I've never been offered one of those FAANG-grade packages, so if you were, hypothetically, to try to hire me away from a present position, I would have to insist: fuck you, pay me, I won't leave things I already like to get the same middling compensation.

Nothing in REST prevents you from asking and getting only what you need. Assuming you're using HTTP, that's a common use of URL parameters; alternatively, you can pass a more detailed request in the body (yes, even in GET).
Boulder is starting to have many of the same problems when it comes to housing and childcare.
Duke Mu of Ch'in said to Po Lo: 'You are now advanced in years. Is there any member of your family whom I could employ to look for horses in your stead?' Po Lo replied: 'A good horse can be picked out by its general build and appearance. But the superlative horse — one that raises no dust and leaves no tracks — is something evanescent and fleeting, elusive as thin air. The talent of my sons lies on a lower plane altogether: they can tell a good horse when they see one, but they cannot tell a superlative horse. I have a friend, however, one Chiu-fang Kao, a hawker of fuel and vegetables, who in things appertaining to horses is nowise my inferior. Pray see him.'

Duke Mu did so, and subsequently despatched him on the quest for a steed. Three months later, he returned with the news that he had found one. 'It is now in Sha-ch'iu,' he added. 'What kind of a horse is it?' asked the Duke. 'Oh, it is a dun-coloured mare,' was the reply. However, on some one being sent to fetch it, the animal turned out to be a coal-black stallion! Much displeased, the Duke sent for Po Lo. 'That friend of yours,' he said, 'whom I commissioned to look for a horse, has made a nice mess of it. Why, he cannot even distinguish a beast's colour or sex! What on earth can he know about horses?'

Po Lo heaved a sigh of satisfaction. 'Has he really got as far as that?' he cried. 'Ah, then he is worth a thousand of me put together. There is no comparison between us. What Kao keeps in view is the spiritual mechanism. In making sure of the essential, he forgets the homely details; intent on the inward qualities, he loses sight of the external. He sees what he wants to see, and not what he does not want to see. He looks at the things he ought to look at, and neglects those that need not be looked at. So clever a judge of horses is Kao, that he has it in him to judge something better than horses.'

When the horse arrived, it turned out indeed to be a superlative horse.

Data helps corporate management avoid personal responsibility, so it's not just "As a leader, I think..." but rather "Look at what the data is telling us to do." Yeah, it sucks.
See, and here lies the issue with an article like this, it's wishy-washy. I've been reading the NYT for years, and it's not just the NYT that does this: write committed non-committal pieces with lots of words, sort of like an English essay in university. Good thing this is non-committal standing-desk wordplay and not politics, this time!
> The place where REST falls down, really, is transactions. For simple enough schemas and transactions involving only one relation, it's easy enough to have URIs for resources and collections. But for anything much more complex than that REST simply fails. Instead one ends up writing an end-point that accepts POSTs whose request bodies encode complex transactions, and this ends up resembling SOAP (basically RPC over HTTP) rather than REST.

It's perfectly RESTful; resources that represents actions are just as valid as any other resources. I feel like the mistake here extends a common mistake of object-oriented analysis where the valid idea that objects should correspond to nouns are somehow combined with forgetting that actions are nouns.

If you have an API with complex transactions (especially if you need to expose state of those transactions), why wouldn't they be resources? Why wouldn't you post a representation to a collection endpoint? How is that not exactly REST?
You are right about standing and so many other things. The problem :) with open offices thouhgh is that noise is not a like/dislike thing. You can't choose whether you can concentrate in a noisy envirnoment or not. And oh, you are not offered to choose between open office or not. Some guy decided it and imposed it to you.
I write resumes and consult to job seekers on search strategy topics. I've worked with several clients this year who have transitioned from more traditional IT/admin roles into security - for experienced pros I'd say that IT/admin types are the most common background (as opposed to software dev) for those seeking to enter infosec.

The value of certs depends a bit on the cert, and to be honest I don't typically see the SANS certs. CISSP is much more common, Certified Ethical Hacker is also pretty common, and Comp TIA Security + is one that most junior level IT folks start with (in my experience).

Saying you make 6 figures without saying where you live makes it pretty tough to figure out what you might make in your market. 100K is a ton of money in some areas and peanuts in others.
It's a case of damned if I do, damned if I don't. People with CF don't like me saying "mild" CF. They have a cow about that. I spent years on CF forums and got schooled on that detail quite thoroughly. There are more than 1600 alleles that can lead to a diagnosis of CF and the exact presentation of the condition varies from one person to the next in part because of that.

My condition is not late onset. I have had it my whole life. Being diagnosed late doesn't mean it "came on" late. I spent years being treated by people like I was some kind of hypochondriac and asking doctors "Can we test me for something? My body doesn't seem to work normally." and being blown off.

It's not imprecision. I'm as precise as I know how to be or you wouldn't know that my actual diagnosis is atypical cystic fibrosis. I in no way hide that.

So from where I sit, that just looks like yet another BS excuse or justification for people on the internet to be jerks to me.

I feel like this should be fairly obvious business economics. If there is too much demand for your product for you to service, you should raise your prices until the demand matches what you can produce. It's basic supply and demand.

The opposite applies as well. If you have excess capacity that's going unused, you should lower your prices (down to the marginal cost anyway).

Your comment reminds me of the narrator's struggle to define "Quality" in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
Youtube will arbitrarily deprioritize, demonetize, or remove content from its platform, and as with all of Google, the appeals process is slow and questionable. Since it exercises so much curation power over the content on its platform, it should likewise be liable for said content. Protection from liability for content on your platform should only be extended to platforms that actually act as common carriers.
Really basic suggestion is ask for (read: insist on) a weekly one-on-one with your direct manager. And when you have those meetings, be direct and honest about stuff like this.
