I believe this is just long-term support of the open jdk in formally managed releases. They are not modifying the JDK for anything outside of its original intended purposes and APIs.

Since oracle changed the release schedule to be a thinly veiled "pay us money or upgrade your JDK every couple months" model, there is a lot of uncertainty in javaland.

If you think that corporations would just stay up to date... well, then you clearly don't know how slow corporations are to adopt new JDKs.
That's the reality I feel every time I boot into Windows to be honest. I work at Google so I am definitely biased but candidly those OneDrive ads in Explorer pissed me off pretty badly, as does start menu ads, Cortana notifications, automatically installing Candy Crush, and so many other things. You can disable most of that, but then I hear there's still telemetry getting sent back to MSFT even after you disable every tickbox in site.

Of course, the obvious solution is to run a good Linux distro or OpenBSD, but frankly it's hard to live with purely just Linux for me. ChromeOS has the advantage of things like near perfect High DPI support.

You’re fine. You don’t need it. I’m a Senior Dev and I don’t have a degree. I’ve been a professional programmer for almost 15 years. Not once have I needed to write an algorithm from scratch.

Would I be a better developer if I’d learned that stuff?

Arguably, no. I’d probably be cock-sure and a bit of a dick. I know there’s a lot I don’t know and hopefully that keeps me humble. I’m always learning and I love it!

Are you including the time to build/link the tests? This is especially true if you have a bunch of dependencies. Last time I worked on C++ tests most of my time was spent on getting the tests to link quickly. Managed to get it from 25 minutes to 1 minute. But I'd rather have spent that time actually writing more test cases, even if they took 10s to run.
Sadly no. But luckily its self correcting. While traditional companies drink koolaid and aim for short term share price bumps, tech behemoths continue to eat their lunch. In a few decades (4-5), there might not be any traditional companies left to drink the koolaid.
Historically it was Canadian policy. You'd probably have to look to the 1930s (start of forced sterilization) or the 1880s (start of policy of suppression of indigenous peoples) to find out where, when, why and how.
And as to why it's never stopped?
How long have Indigenous people in Canada been protected by human rights? And how long between setting that policy and people getting used to the idea? (2008-2013 through various steps, and probably 2-3 generations at least, if people stop teaching the racism as "correct")

This is kind of interesting because your recipe is 95% hydration (water / flour - this is how bakers do ratios), which is crazy high! I've never heard of this before, but I see you don't really shape it so much as scoop it into the dutch oven, which makes sense. Something like 55% is normal for commercial bread, 70% hydration would be much closer to a nice sourdough from the bakery, 75-80%ish for something like ciabatta (using bread flour w/ approx 11% protein) or when you are using whole flour.

> Streams is a Deepmind product, moving to Google Health.

So now it's a Google product. And when they said [data] "will never be linked or associated with Google accounts, products or services", that was a lie. Seems very straightforward to me.

> If Google Health was part of Alphabet but not Google, would you argue it was "plainly not a Google product"?

It has Google in the name. I don't understand this claim. It's a Google product. From the official blog post that Streams released yesterday[0]:

"We’re excited to announce that the team behind Streams—our mobile app that supports doctors and nurses to deliver faster, better care to patients—will be joining Google."

They're not joining Alphabet; they're joining Google. I mean, I guess linking to Google is technically different than literally being consumed by Google?

I did this last year for the 3rd grade class that my wife teaches. I ended up using code.org's Minecraft Adventurer game[0]. I also went over what programmers do (at a very high level) as well as the impact that programming has on every day life by using examples they were familiar with, such as video games.

Here is the thing, what I did requires that the kids have a computer and I'm not sure if they will all have that in your situation. Also, it requires them to be able to read (at least the activity I did). There were some of the kids that did alright but there were many who did not have the reading comprehension for 3rd grade and were much lower and struggled. That probably won't be an issue with you as you mentioned they are gifted but it is something to think about.

If you need more activities you can visit the hour of code's site[1]. If you have any questions I am happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

Edit: Sorry I didn't read your proposal before replying. Here are my thoughts broken out by activity:

Activity 1: I like the first part but I think that the second part, where you give them the activity may be too much for them. Make sure you time gate it though as it may take a longer time than expected for everybody to finish and you don't want to cut too much into your time. They most likely won't understand what you mean by performance of a linear search and all that goes behind it. I could be wrong, but this is from my experience.

Activity 2: Again, based on my experience, this may be very difficult for them. There is a lot "jargon" being tossed around, and you may be able to dumb it down a bit for the kids, I feel like it still may be out of their grasp.

Activity 3: This is where I would let the kids be hands on with an activity like I suggested or another one. To be honest, most of the kids won't care about this presentation and throwing code up on the screen isn't going to help that. Allowing them to experience first hand what it is like to solve challenges and use logic is a lot more powerful than projecting what you are doing.

I don't mean to be negative or harsh, but this is coming from what I experienced last year when I did this. That being said, I was at a low income school that has a history of under performing students so your experience may vary.

Do you have an example of when your were personally attacked with you private data by Google? If you're going to say ads in general, you know targeting can be disabled? I see all this constant distrust towards Google, but they're probably the best example of keeping your data secure. (According to market share) 99% of people are running an OS that collects some amount of telemetry data about them already, but Chrome OS, with a <1% market share is the real offender? People are less vocal about companies that actually lose your data, like Equifax, Facebook, and even Canonical had a data breach. I know it's fun to pick on the biggest players, but mid size and small companies have atrocious security practices that are actually abused.

I had similar experience with my first professional job, a cad cam that is solving building structures for antisysmic regulations. Every developed had his own lib, duplicated code with different bugs on each lib, no comments, every screen was build from copy paste code of other screen and no tests at all. Undercovered bugs was out there for many years without any way of knowing and special sleep functions producing intentionally slow code.

Your concerns about cooking are actually part of what makes Blue Apron attractive:

Unfortunately not.

"--jobs N" limits the parallelism during the execution phase (when Bazel executes compilers, etc.) but doesn't limit the parallelism of the analysis phase (when Bazel loads BUILD files and constructs the build graph). For the latter there is a "--loading_phase_threads N" flag.

We are actively trying to make Bazel better use the local resources, and also clean up the current mess that the flags are in this area. See the discussion at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bazel-dev/7pcrJY6Xo78/JDe256... for some context.

I've heard on the grapevine that Nintendo executive management is super against online; they're apparently terrified of the idea of some pedophile picking up kids via their network and the Nintendo vrand being associated with that in the public's eyes.

If you want an answer from someone who actually knows, consider contacting your gsuites account rep or asking on the support forum for gsuite. It is apparent from the other responses find their root in uninformed paranoia rather than actual knowledge.

>But I don't want my taxes raised an order of magnitude to pay for everyone else.

But you’re surely fine paying your taxes into “Defense” (private, for-profit contractors) continuing wars in other destabilized regions?

I’m actually supportive of defense spending....when it’s relevant to American (or really any developed nation’s “greater” life on earth). I currently see no effort to build ICBM/EMP/Astroid/Natural disaster defenses shrug

I also have to wonder what your priorities are when your first thought is “I don’t want to pay for everyone else” instead of “where is my tax money going?”

I, too, do not want an undue yoke of taxation on my back. To be honest, no one is calling for a “magnitude” increase in your taxes. And trigger warning, America has numerous socialist policies such as Medicare/Medicaid and health coverage for your politicians (but not your fellow countrymen)

It seems far more “fake and forced” to me that our FAANG companies (and their ilk) need additional tax cuts.
It seems far more “fake and forced” that income tax is so high compared to other taxes. the sudden 2016-induced claims of a “booming economy” seem more “fake and forced” in the light of no real wage growth. Our slow descent into Feudalism and lordship seems far more “fake and forced” when you look at the policies that enable it.

When you say "rest of the hardware" are you referring specifically to Google's Pixel phones? From a hardware perspective, they seem pretty great.

Or, are you referring to the phone industry in general, and how they're unable to make cameras that match the quality of the ones in the Google Pixel line?
Yes on two levels:

1. If you're logged into Chrome or using Google properties, they're using your behavior along with everyone else's to see what patterns people have, what sites are popular, which ads convert, etc. If they were to stop doing that tracking whenever you're logged into a GSuite account, they'd publicize that loudly and clearly as a selling point. Given that they don't, I think it's reasonable to believe that they treat GSuite customers' behavioral data the same as all other users'.

2. Specifically your use/behavior of the GSuite products they will also use to improve the GSuite products themselves (and sell more, thereby advancing their business model). For example, if they see that nobody is using a particular feature, they may change where it shows up or eliminate it.

What they clearly publicize that they don't do is mine the content of your documents or put advertising inside the GSuite products themselves. But all the behavioral data/metadata you generate will still be used alongside everyone else's.

For me this story drives home a point: marketing or story telling matters. They had this model that delivered on a multitude of goals (more fair, better for health, fitting school times for different age-groups, less costs), but got lost in the narrative that was made by others.

Having appropriate attention to the story you are about to spread matters, especially for bureaucrats and scientists. These job groups are less inclined to think marketing matters than, say, business people.

I see this a lot in local bureaucrats. Even the most well willing are usually not thinking in terms of customers, focus groups and targeted information packs. They should. Think about what your goals were and communicate them. If you suspect opposition, create targeted narratives. Heck, call, mail or email those groups most negatively impacted. It's what good businesses do well, but most organizations fail at.

A sidestep would be that all those goals met, including costs savings while getting some kids home at 1pm and others at 4pm has another problem: a too low budget. In my part of the world schools just end at 12.30 or 3pm and parents just need to figure out the rest. Of course that rest is subsidized childcare.
Multi-stage Docker builds are an underutilized pattern.

Go ahead, go crazy and add all of the dev dependencies you need to build your package. Once you've done that, take the built package and put it into another container that has only the runtime dependencies.

The ideal use-case for this is compiling Go, since you end up with a 1GB build container and a 12MB single-binary production container if you compile with static linking. Just beware when going the FROM SCRATCH route that you get nothing to go with it, you can't shell into the container or run "ps" or "lsof" for debugging because none of those exist.
