Yep. I've been using bash since the 90s, and really got into Powershell a couple of years ago (I now run it on macOS too).

The amount of people who try and explain bash basics to me when I say I use Powershell is staggering. I'm quite good at regexs thanks, I just like my scripts picking keys 'select' and 'where' rather than scraping with grep / awk etc. The amount of (poor) pwsh clones on Linux is a good testament to the solidness of this approach.
I wonder is if their own AIS monitor was also off? Why didn't they see the AIS signature of Sola TS and the other ships?

According to the commission looking into the accident they did have AIS-monitoring on and had spotted and identified the 3 other ships on their right (which may explain their initial reluctance to turn right, into their path). No one has any good answer as to why they failed to spot/ignored the tanker even as it moved towards them.
> rename "power hours" to "hackathons".

The key word here is "pressured". There is no pressure to perform or participate in a hackathon. You can work on your own pace, or choose to dropout. Almost all of the people who participate do so because of their interest and not to win a trophy or some cash.
Capitalism doesn't have to cannibalize. Often it works to everyone's benefit.

Unions is also a legitimate force in capitalism. In many ways it could be good for Amazon. If gives them a way to deal evenly with their employees.

Of course, a union has to recognize that it's not blindly serving its members, if it drives companies out of business. Like hindering technological advancement by refusing automation.
So power hours are actually the hour before lunch, and everyone is running around because they are desperately trying to hold it in?
The captain runs the ship and is in charge of the crew. It's the ultimate authority that comes with ultimate responsibility. If the crew was not seaworthy, letting it sail out if the port is the captain's fault.
Same here. Had hope, but the fans of my RMBP state otherwise.
Could you please elaborate on how sigma is similar to multidimensional modeling of arbitrary formulas and user writes? It seems that sigma is just a SQL generator + visualisations, so it only servers the read side. Spreadsheets are much more flexible as you operate more on cells than on entire columns, and can usually model an arbitrary-long formula chain.
I dunno, having a large address space could be useful if you work with large or lots of memory mapped files?
Who are you to call it undignified? How about you let employees make their own choices.

Clearly, if you accept a job, you believe the compensation to be fair. If it wasn’t fair, you wouldn’t take the job. It’s as simple as that.
Spoofing AIS is a common practice.

It's not unusual to see a "Warship" on AIS - especially when navigating in crowded areas.

If you know enough to say:

You also know that 'Linux' is more commonly used as a description of the userspace and other common software. You are starting an unnecessary argument.
They made no or almost no profit with their retail business for years, that was the only way they could expand so quickly.
> This is certainly true if you're writing a GUI or a network-based server process.

But are you writing those in C++ ? C++ is used exactly where you have those tight loops. Execution engines, VMs and interpreters... Besides, as soon as you want to have some real-time behaviour you can't have any call to malloc since it may make performance much less deterministic due to locks in malloc implementations. And there is a lot of real-time code being written in C++.
Yes, thank you for putting it so clearly. I’m concerned about how US/China affect the REST OF US (WE EXIST, THERE ARE 5 BILLION OF US, HELLO THERE!), so arguments about how well the US treats its own people or how poorly China treats theirs are completely immaterial to me. Its about how those countries operate outside their own borders.
I was going to write a point disagreeing with you, but the logic didn't work. The fact that the PaaS implementation used requires scaling in advance, vs FaaS which can scale as requests come in means that you are exposed to one more (important) detail with PaaS - number of instances. So yes, FaaS has gone up the abstraction stack one more step.
If you guys think that Europe or the US are inefficient in using tax money, try looking at Brazil and see what inefficient really looks like.
>Guys, i suggest looking at some of these companies balance sheets. In many cases (Walmarts, McDonalds...) even a small 5% pay raise for all employees would eat every single penny of profits.

Is this the conclusion you reached after reading Amazon's balance sheets? If so, would you mind sharing your research?
I admit I haven't read the article but what's disgusting about incentivizing employee efficiency with prizes?

The IPython console is great. It’s the Notebook (not console) that’s terrible. The two things are not very similar to each other.

I’ve been saying it for years, even before the great meme presentation this year: notebooks are not the appropriate medium for 99% of rapid prototyping or shared experiment work and notebooks make for terrible units of reproducibility (especially compared to just traditionally version controlled source code with a Makefile or with a Docker container etc).

Pedagogy is probably the only serious use case of a notebook. If you’re not working on a 100% pure pedagogy task, it’s a giant mistake to be doing what you’re doing in a Jupyter notebook.
> my several years old car will scream with alarms if I'm closing on an obstacle, and eventually even start handling the danger for me. I have to assume the same systems exist for a huge expensive warship. So not only was the AIS turned off - all collision alarms etc were too?

I don't know how the military systems work, but I have used civilian maritime systems like the AIS you mention, some of which are built by semi-military manufacturers. Let me tell you, AIS is no silver bullet.

AIS does indeed alert us when another ship is within a predefined radius. But it does not judge whether the distance is closing or widening. If a ship passes perpendicular to our course but less than the defined radius behind us, we get an alarm--exactly the same alarm as if it were directly in front of us and moving toward us. There is no feature like "alert 10 minutes before expected collision."

Also, AIS has a feature where you can send messages as a broadcast to all nearby ships. The message you send could be "SOS SINKING 12 SOULS" or it could be "SATURN MICKEY WELCOME TO SALVADOR PORT" (a real one I saw last week with the names changed). The alarm at receiving stations will sound the same in both cases.

In busy shipping lanes there are multiple of these messages received per day by passers by, and several obviously-not-dangerous proximity alerts at the very least.

You can imagine why people might be inclined to turn them off.
> Really, automation on Windows is extremely costly compared to Linux

I'd disagree. I've been managing fleets of Windows machines since NT 3.51 (and fleets of Linux servers since 2003). It's all about knowing the tools well.

Whilst I've been using Linux since around 1995 (Slackware!), and prior to that various Unix and Xenix(!) boxes had popped in and out of my IT life, I'd never managed more than one or two machines. That was until 2003'ish when I went to work for a shared hoster. It took me a while to become as proficient at managing all these new Linux boxes that entered into my life as I was with Windows. I had the learn the tools.

I'm not suggesting you weren't properly trained, but most of the complaints I hear about Windows being a devil to manage is usually because admins haven't learned how to use the tools and generally haven't a clue what they're doing.
I have been playing this one (with some breaks) for two decades:

This. The watch in that situation would be the A-team, and wouldn't get relieved until the ship is in a lower-traffic area. That watch team would also brief the entire transit for expected hazards, i.e. "watch for tankers leaving the terminal." But also, a sub on the surface puts the conning officer on the bridge, which provides insanely good situational awareness compared to just having a periscope.
Modern tankers have double hulls, to avoid (or trying to avoid) disastrous oil spills in case of accidents. In addition to other strengthening measures. Quite the opposite of built as cheap as possible.
Warships, on the other hand, are often built for speed, and something has to give. I remember visiting a (smaller) warship once, it could reach 40 knots, and it had a normal hull (not a catamaran or trimaran). The crew said the whole ship was made of very lightweight material.
I don't know if it's the HN effect but I never had a scaling problem. Prior acquisition the story says whatsapp used to run on a single server

Thanks for this, I saw a demo of this years ago and I found the ability to write a note on the back of windows very fascinating, and for years I couldn't remember what it is.
It should be up to both.

https://dbaron.org/css/user/

I never used them, but Opera had a few preset user stylesheets right there in the "view" menu at the top of the window, that was neat. One was "C64" IIRC. Silly, but neat ^^

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative...

If styleesheets could have placeholders for some system colors (maybe even fonts?), that could be something.. turn nightmode on/off, or just generally change colors, and all programs and all websites fade! I would actually love "having to" make 3 stylesheets, one super fancy one, a print stylesheet, and a "system colors" one. Or don't even stop with colors, do it like Magic User Interface on the Amiga, let the user configure how they want all sorts of input and information fields to be formatted and behave... some people want material design (they're wrong of course, but if they must be wrong, I want them to at least be wrong and happy, rather than wrong and unhappy), others want gradients and bevels and shadows everywhere, let everybody set it how they want. Some people want lots of padding, others want tight padding and negative linespacing and tiny fonts, etc.

Awww, now I'm super excited about something that doesn't exist... I can taste it, it would be so awesome! This is the wrong timeline :/

I'm not sure I'd call Stanley Kubrick's movies accessible. Sure, there are less accessible movies out there, but also much more accessible ones. And accessibility is not a bad thing; movies are meant to be watched.

I personally find Kubrick's movies excellent. Rarely perfect, but often highly innovative in one area or another, and all completely different. They range from glacial 2001 to funny Dr Strangelove, to historical costume drama to brutal war movie, and he manages to capture the essence every time.

There are many other deserving directors out there, but it'd be nuts to not consider Kubrick among the greatest directors.
There are some river waves in Boise, Jackson Hole and a few minor ones, but the best are still in Canada, besides Munich, Austria, Swiss and France. As river surfer you don't really care for these expensive big machines, they are not sustainable. Like the Tokyo wave in the 80, which only lasted a few years.
I was hoping for a bit shuffling approach that elegantly fills the rectangle in some quasi-random order.

Unions form to prevent a race to the bottom. Individual employees have no power at all, so employers can keep pushing them. Changing jobs is not frictionless, even in a good job market. Most people who work in low-paying positions can't afford to miss a few months of pay because they quit their job to look for something better. Since people have to work to survive, especially in the US with its poor social safety net, you get situations where people are forced to take a job no matter how exploitative it is.

I doubt they put much armor or modern warships, as speed and maneuverability is probably a far more important asset and modern munitions could probably punch through any reasonable armor you could put on a ship and still make it sail.
Almost none of what you're talking about means anything legally speaking in either system - it's all convention and de facto powers.

MPs don't in fact choose the PM in the UK system either. It's much more indirectly the case that someone who appears that they would have the confidence of the house to pass legislation may be invited by the Queen to form a government.

But talking practically in both systems, and especially in the current political climate, a party majority in the house and senate means everything, as we saw with Obama's inability to pass almost anything from his agenda.

Also there is one curious place where the US party system is enshrined in law unlike elsewhere - for some reason your party leadership elections (primaries etc) are run by the government! And in some cases they legally allow non-party members to vote in them (open primaries.) I think that's absolutely bonkers from the UK perspective. Who the party wants to lead them as a candidate is their business alone.
there are some quite good competitors to amazon in many european countries, especially in regards to fullfillment. Amazon in europe also is not the cheapest (by a far margin).

Now you need to look up what 1001, 1002 or 1003 are.

It takes time and makes you unable to skim-read the commit history.

Also projects are often migrated, offshored etc., and it's not rare for repositories to get uncoupled from the ticket system.

Now "1004" tells me nothing, because I've got the source code and VCS history, but no access to the original Jira where the issue was reported.
I use Pocket for the same kind of work.

A 13% speedup in the critical sections seems much too low to pay for the loss in caching and other optimizations from the 64bit address space. But I'm considering general purpose applications where the critical sections are not run 100%. If all you do is simulation work in clusters for example, I could see how this would be significant.

I was replying to saying that most apps should use x32 if they don't use much memory. That sounds like a nightmare in a general purpose distribution, with having every library duplicated and interoperability issues.
>I've got to the point I never want to run Windows infrastructure again. Before anyone says "it's getting better". That has been the case from 10 years and it only got different.

i know what you mean. It's part of the reason I'm on the cusp of discarding my 20ish years of MS SQL Server experience and going full Postie for the rest of my life. Windows IT infrastructure in most enterprises is a pile of lies. It's particularly galling in academia and non-profit because they can't afford to keep up with all the Microsoftia and yet still the management dreams of using Microsoft StudlyWare which would require 10x the IT cost they could ever dream of, let alone get.

I don't really agree with this approach, you should use either tags or branch names to link issues with git, commit titles are not the right place. It's very common for an issue to span multiple commits, this solution feels insufficient. If you feel it's necessary, you can add the issue number to the commit message body, but as a title it's not that useful. Humanly readable titles are the best option, if I need to find something I will be using git log or grep anyway.
Not just general "taxi regulations", but also traffic safety (a common story to hear was Uber without valid insurance) and tax laws (in my country, I remember our equivalent of IRS being the most active in hunting down Uber drivers).

Don't forget mandatory rest periods, enforced by technical means. My ex-girlfriend used to drive taxis and if you got caught breaking your mandatory rest period the fines were sky-high. Repeat offenders lose their taxi license.

Contrast that to the nice Uber driver, who has no restrictions on driving you around after a double shift at the widget factory and a couple of double whiskies to drown his sorrows, before picking up passengers as an "independent contractor"

What really seems lost on some of the more libertarian inclined, regulation hating chaps here is that most regulation is actually there for a reason. Among other things like protecting your life and health.

When people here start to delve into the "evil hotel lobby that is so mean to this scrappy AirBnb start-up, which sends all their communication 'with love'" then I usually want to start to gag.
This is very similar to NaNoWriMo[1], which originally stood for "National Novel Writing Month" (I say "originally" because the "National" bit no longer applies), whereby you sign up to try to write 50,000 words of a novel in November. It has similar word tracking features and a community of other users whom you can interact with (IIRC; the last time I signed up was 2012). The only real difference is that the words/day is more explicit here (200 vs. an implied average of over 8x that) and that you're not constrained by time. While it is pretty hard to maintain the level required to achieve the goal set by NaNoWriMo -- 200 words/day is trivial, in comparison -- the time constraint certainly helped focus.
