> Tipping should be made illegal.

Who gets sent to jail if they tip? The customer, the server, or the restaurant owner? What should happen if a customer leaves before they get change? Who is responsible for enforcement?

Tipping has a number of problems, but prohibition is rarely the best solution.

Arrays, slices, hashtables, and channels are not supported natively by the processor, but Go still has them as primitives. Why not also add a number type which behaves in a sane, easy-to-understand, useful way?
Well, if there are any individuals alive today responsible for those atrocities, then they should be called out.

Otherwise, it's about as relevant as Roman atrocities in Gaul.
I must be misunderstanding the attack: didn't it involve checking in malicious code to a repo used to build a package published in npm?

Or are you suggesting that all code in github should be considered untrusted, but somehow able to be verified by npm?
Outside of the USA, floor space of buildings is typically measured in square meters. If you have a 15 floor office tower its gross and rentable square feet will be listed in square meters. This allows for comparison to other known structures.
Haskell (and many functional languages) excel at tasks where data is being transformed and/or can be modeled that way. Most of our lambda functions do exactly that.
Cousin is a restaurant manager in the bay area. He mentioned that the margins are so thin in the business that one or two "bad" nights can literally ruin the balance sheet for the entire month.
It can be, but I'd posit its an issue deeper in the heart of the intent and philosophy of OData (versus say GraphQL). OData looked at the basic querying monad and said "wouldn't it be great if I could do that stuff, but just you know remotely" and implemented every operation it could think of on top of that monad. It's like RPC in that way ("wouldn't it be great if function calls 'just worked' over the network?"), in that it started with some okay ideas but then accidentally ran head first into a jungle of XML encodings of security concerns orthogonal to distributed computing but deeply critical if the calling infrastructure doesn't know if the result is coming from the same processor core, the processor core next door, or a machine on a network 5000 miles away in a datacenter run by your competition.

I think some of the "keep it simple stupid" principle of what REST does well that SOAP failed to do, applies between OData and GraphQL. OData did a really good job of very easily connect (via LINQ for many users) "SQL" over the wire, which is great when that's what you need. It's just that "SQL" was never optimized for that and the solutions like rate limiting have to be bolted in on top of the design, and often start to break the original appeal "'SQL' over the wire" as the subset of "SQL" that reliably works shrinks (and therewith shrinks the ability to do some of the ad hoc queries that were the draw in the first place).

GraphQL doesn't entirely escape the orbit of query language as wire protocol issues, of course, but it has the benefit of having seen the issues in OData to learn from, and from what I've seen mitigates a lot of the worst cases in its opt-in approach and the fact that it looks nothing like "SQL" so it immediately doesn't inherit the assumptions of SQL and what sort of queries may or may not be immediately available.
Skepticism is common. I believe this is because the idea of ADHD as someone who can't sit still or is disruptive in group classroom settings has been popularized and accepted as the defining characteristic of the disease.

What people do not understand is what you called out in #1. ADHD is primarily an executive function disorder, and people do not understand what this means or the impacts it has on someone's life. Though this does materialize as impulse control and risk taking, it also represents an inability to plan, execute routine behavior, make decisions and have perspective to retroactively modify behavior.

If we popularized the idea of ADHD as the adult who always leaves at the time they're supposed to be somewhere, has had their utilities shut off because they forgot to pay their bill, poor credit, constantly loses items, always seems to be making last minute decisions (or is painfully indecisive), has poor dental hygiene because they consistently forget to brush their teeth or go to the dentist and so on, people might be better able to relate to what happens in the day to day life of ADHD. Low self-esteem, anxiety and depression are co-morbid with ADHD at staggering rates. Imagine being someone expending immense amounts of energy and thought just to do the "normal" expected things of individual life, and failing consistently to actually do them. Additionally, you're producing consistent disappointment in those around you ("Why can't you just show up on time just this once!?") compounding the sense of worthlessness.

I believe if people viewed ADHD through this more nuanced lens, they might focus less on the "drugging children" aspect of ADHD and far more on the human reality and toll of the disease.
I think that the overwhelming evidence of reality of modern existence - the fact that we don't live neolithic lives with neolithic lifespans - is sufficient proof that science has been overwhelmingly constructive and reflective of how the universe works.

Yes, there are issues, the incentivisation around publication etc makes it easy to game the system. However, to extrapolate this to a blanket attitude of distrusting science, "especially when it conflicts with one's own common sense", is incredibly dangerous because it's partly what has made large numbers of us so susceptible to overt manipulation.

"Common sense" is no such thing, and much of proven science could be construed as contradicting common sense. The light-speed limit, quantum spookiness, spacetime curvature, biological evolution - all were once considered contrary to "common sense" - mainly because "common sense" is ultimately derived from the extremely narrow and limited range of human experiences.

Have you asked yourself what is worth more to you?
I know I'm late to the party, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series - It's a BBC Radio Play, but was my first exposure to the story, and a fantastic one at that. I also really enjoyed the Star Wars radio drama.
Are you sure? I've been seeing conflicting information regarding that, but can't find the authoritative answer from Amazon
Sure, people have different priorities; I'm just saying that the idea that the only reason one might prefer ownership is investment value is missing a lot.
This handily solves an issue with one of my clients - they wanted to make sure they could deploy their SaaS app on-prem if a customer asked for it, so had been avoiding going all in on AWS-specific services. Bet the pricing is "if you have to ask it's too much" but I guess we'll see.
This reads more like a mad man's ramble "hear me out for a minute" than an interesting point of view.
Yeah, we had one user file an issue with some suggested improvements:

We can be a bit more generous than that.

For the last few years, the companies at the top of the heap have all been consumer-oriented companies, and it's easy to forget that this doesn't necessarily have to always be the case. Microsoft itself is a household name for its consumer software products, so it's easy to think that their rise to the top would _have_ to be tied to consumer products too. From that perspective, these news are a bit of a head scratcher. The Surface line has been successful but not _that_ successful. Windows is as unexciting as always. The XBox isn't really a big thing outside the US.

The NY Times isn't a business-centric publication, so it's pretty much a given that their audience would leave the analysis at this point. The things that make Microsoft enormous are all hidden from their view.
A good predictor of whether the Chinese government would react to a group is the threat that group poses on the national integrity of China. Any separatist/ independence movement will be harshly treated. You can find many examples of this. There is nothing the West that says or do that will change this policy.

Falun Gong is the blueprint for this: a homegrown spiritual practice that gained too much popularity in the ‘90s and the authorities turned against it. Human rights groups estimate hundreds of thousands are still in “re-education” camps.
Taking a moment from the brutality here, this really makes me appreciate how much commercial satellite photography levels the playing field against state actors. Nobody can realistically control the space over their country and space access is sufficiently cheap that we can affordably monitor the entire surface of the earth for these kinds of events. Such an undertaking would have been impossible without state level assets a few short decades ago. These satellites are also nice because they're not capable of tracking individual people effectively or otherwise providing a route for significant invasions of privacy. In short, satellites let us see over the hedge without the risk of retaliation and with a lower likelihood of abuse against private individuals.
What is "not data" that can be the result of eval; at first I thought he was talking about side effects, but 5 minutes after he first said that I'm still not sure what he was talking about.
You're not the only one. I have a co-worker that had inside information who said he believed it was part of a feud between Ruby and python, since there are a lot of python devs working on aws. I didn't believe him for a while, but was sort of starting too since it is clear that there is demand for Ruby on lambda
One of the problems is that it is expensive. More expensive than it has to be.
Because here's something else that's true.
In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as
atheism.

There is no such thing as not worshipping.

Everybody worships.
The only choice we get is what to worship.
And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type
thing to worship – be it J.C. Or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan mothergoddess
or the Four Noble Truths or some infrangible set of ethical principles –

is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.

If you worship money and things – if they are where you tap real meaning
in life – then you will never have enough.
Never feel you have enough.
It's the truth.
Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always
feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths
before they finally plant you.
On one level we all know this stuff already – it's been codified as myths,
proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great
story.
Worship your intellect, being seen as smart – you will end up feeling
stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out.
And so on.

David Foster Wallace, from This is Water, a commencement speech he gave in 2005.
I hate saying this, but China has gotten itself in a position where people won't do anything to it...even where people can't do anything to it.

Let's think about an individual/NGO-style boycott where you encourage a billion people to boycott Chinese goods. Could you even boycott Chinese goods? What phone would you buy? What computer? Even if the place of final assembly isn't China, what percentage of the parts would be Chinese?

If we're talking about countries doing something, it's hard to look past the huge economic ties in place. We'd be talking about really a drop in the S&P 500 that would make every recession look tiny. Apple needs China for iPhones, Amazon needs China for goods for its retail operation and server components (as well as Microsoft, Google, etc.), Huawei powers most of Europe's mobile infrastructure, Volvo is the largest company in Sweden and Chinese owned, Foreign Direct Investment from the US to China topped $100B in 2017... Would the US or EU take such a huge hit to their economy for the Uighurs?

As you noted, the Allies didn't come for the Jews. They came to contain a Germany that was taking over Europe. The Soviet Union was content to let Germany do as it pleased until it was attacked itself. The UK and France tried appeasing the Nazis while they took over Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Memelland. The US didn't join the war in Europe until Germany declared war against the US.

If China doesn't attack Taiwan, Japan, or India, I can't see us doing anything. Tibet happened and while we might have had some strong words about Tibet, we haven't done anything about it.

Plus, to be honest, it's hard to see us doing a lot when the right-wing in Europe and the US has started replacing Jews as their go-to "it's their fault" target with Muslims. Hatred is a terrible thing, but there has been growing anti-Muslim sentiment. While that doesn't rule out saving people, I think it does make it less likely.

This isn't meant to say that we shouldn't do anything. It's more that I don't think we (collectively, governmentally) have the will to do something given the huge economic ties in play.

Russia might provide some clues, but it's also important to remember that our economic ties with Russia are a lot simpler: Russia has natural resources. While we have applied some sanctions, Russia is still in Ukraine. Given the level of our reliance on China, I can't imagine we will bring might strong enough for China to really change.

I would love for someone to change my mind on this comment. I really hope this comment is just totally wrong.

Housing prices has risen more in some areas than others for sure, but the trend of housing rapidly outpacing wages still holds when looking at much larger data sets.
I'm sure, and that's an abomination. Violence is never the right means, but an entire minority does not become violent on their own until they feel they are desperate enough to perform these attacks in some futile effort to preserve things (culture) that means something to them or revenge for abusive actions taken against them.

If China was peacefully coexisting with them and allowing them to perform their religion freely, it makes no sense that they would feel the need to attack random civilians.
I'm not asking what they "should" do; I'm asking what literally any other country would do, especially the US.
I would say impulses rather than shopping. West is obsessed with being "free" i.e. do whatever I want at anytime

Xinjiang is an autonomous region, too. Tibet has been thoroughly “Hanified,” though you’re right that it hasn’t been as dramatic as in Xinjiang. The same is true for other ethnic minorities, too. Traditional costumes are kept to pay lip service to plurality, and there are some parks that feel more like Epcot Center exhibits. It’s not all due to government intervention, but China’s ethnic minorities are disappearing.
This is great, but I'm ever so slightly disappointed that they called it the Lambda Runtime API instead of Common Gateway Interface. [1] It's not quite the same, but it definitely gives me an everything-old-is-new-again feeling.

Chicago keeps trying to encourage that and apparently that causes "gentrification". Everybody is going to get pissed off about something.
Next would probably be a while loop using the same setup, then a for loop with the counter reversed (incrementing rather than decrementing), and seeing how the assembly differs in each case. If you were using C++ then next after that would be using an iterator on a vector and mostly taking away direct control of the counter in the process.
Out of curiosity, how large are the teams/projects that you're trying to manage?

In my experience, that directly correlates with the "enterpriseyness" of the project management software you use.
The factor lying at the root of everything is that China's government is fundamentally illegitimate from the West's point of view. Because of this perceived illegitimacy, when a violent bombing/stabbing incident happens, the default assumption (so the West insists) to make is that it's an case of oppressed subjects fighting for freedom; the burden of proof is on the Chinese government to show that it's a genuine act of terrorism. Likewise when activity purporting to be terrorism prevention measures take place, the default assumption to make is that it's an attempt at ethnic cleansing ala Nazi Germany, the burden of proof is on the China government to show otherwise. At bottom it's a disagreement over where the burden of proof is located. Because both sides are operating with different standards of evidence it's a dispute that's
basically impossible to resolve.
Why? This article is not about the US. It would be pure speculation and largely irrelevant.
Tock raises $9.5M, led by Valor, Origin
My approximately-two cents:

- A bit annoying that the scrollwheel doesn't do anything; the natural thing would be for it to zoom in/out.

- There doesn't seem to be a way to resize an area by dragging an edge; you have to drag each corner individually, which seems to be error-prone.

- The default zoom level makes it hard to snap things to major gridlines, which exacerbates the issue with the lack of edge-dragging above (since it's harder than it should be to get the corners to line up horizontally or vertically).

If these issues could be fixed, I can see myself using this for day-to-day stuff.
You have the causal chain backwards.
Market rate rents are driven by high demand low supply. If you add 30,000 people to an area and only 7,000 new units, the price of existing units rise. The employers hiring new workers have to pay higher wages due to higher cost of living. Normal people like cashiers and teachers can’t afford it and have to commute from cheaper areas.
It’s supply and demand.
I have a similar useless opinion. I liked the old website for its clarity and simplicity.

Everyone has a phone, and a private cloud to securely store data is not terribly insecure if done right. Life-Privacy as a first class feature of mobile OSs could be a huge opportunity to giving people more control over their data. I don’t see google doing this, but Apple could.
Vancouver, BC / Richmond BC area here, which has a >30% Chinese-ethnicity population: Whenever Falun Gong makes the press here, there is a relatively active English language social media astroturfing campaign, and fake news campaign that has been going around for at least 15-20 years which attempts to equate Falun Gong with known harmful cults which Westerners are familiar with. I've seen it compared to Heaven's Gate, the Branch Davidians, and Jim Jones' Peoples' Temple.

As best I can determine it's a buddhist/meditation group that disagrees with the Chinese government on principles of fundamental human rights.

On one hand, you have personal liberty and what I believe to be the "right to die". On the other hand, you have complications with insurance, or depending on who is more at fault, possible manslaughter. There's definitely a balance to be struck somewhere.

Are you over-correcting towards a mean right there?
It all makes sense but how does it happen that people born and raised in western countries (Belgium, UK, France, US) became terrorists?
People don't need to be desperate to become loyal to some movement/faith(i.e. terrorism). They believe all kind of fairy tales without being desperate.
It is if you believe that interest rates will be above 2% in 5 to 10 years.
I actually like the new website. I think the primary barrier to Rust adoption now is something along the lines of "my organization doesn't use it"—this website is clearly geared toward persuading CTOs or administrators.

It's a sign of the strength of the Rust community that they feel they no longer need to persuade developers. It implies that many developers have already heard about and are interested in Rust, but need higher-ups to approve using it.
I don't think it did kill the botnet.

From the article:
"on July 11, 2014, the Justice Department reported that the number of computers infected with GOZ malware had been reduced by 31 percent thanks to law enforcement intervention."

Also they were blocking the autogenerated domains on a weekly basis, but that would only work if the infected machine was in the US I believe.
Amazon QLDB does solves some of the QDPR compliance shortfalls of blockchain, for example the physical location of the data could be guaranteed. But it doesn't solve the big one: the right to full erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten. The tactics suggested by other users here, such as 'losing' the key, do not fully qualify as full erasure, just pseudo-erasure. So far, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has as yet developed a GDPR-complaint, public-facing DAO application. It's a grey area. I am working on a blockchain wallet that allows contractors and gig economy workers to request, own and administer their own employment references. The main problem we're facing is to guarantee full erasure, and to guarantee the physical domicility of data (for example,in the EU region). I was excited about QLDB but I see many problems in its current state.
