Ansible is worth the effort to learn it. The end results are declarative scripts that almost read like documentation, and it simply works.

I’ve even used it personally to automate the deployment of Wintendo machines :)
What's the scam?

Edit: it doesn't look like the standard 'picture of gpu' or 'box only' so I'm not sure what the scam is.

Edit2: Found it (https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Bidding-Buying/WARNING...). Wow, that's fucked up.
GPU programming - rewrote some LiDAR processing using cuda to speed up our object detection pipeline.

Also learned the python C api so we could integrate some ML models written in pytorch into our c++ applications.
You went from the experts are almost always right, to insisting there are no experts.
I'm very surprised that the RTX are finally being recommended for price/performance. For the longest time, the best cost/$ for machine learning was the GTX 1070 / 1060.
Can we use Elgato Stream for home activities?
Ah cool. What brand/model?

Also, I heard somewhere that they start throttling at 80C, have you seen that at all?
Accidentally leaving a form in progress?

I believe closing gmail browser window while composing a message would show a popup.

I use it in an app where editing an item locks it for everyone else and to unlock it, one needs to save or cancel the edit. So closing the browser tab while editing shows a warning.

Edit: I was corrected by the comment below. Had in mind a different function.
I wonder what could possibly be a use case why they would allow it and even built an API/interface for that.
You're probably right, but at least in that case there will still be a paper-trail of "data" that motivated entities can point to and make a case against.

I would rather have bogus evidence in the official record, that I can analyze and challenge, than no evidence at all.
This exact thing is one feature I like about Perl 6 and (minorly) dislike about Rust.

In P6, 1..10 is exactly the range you'd expect, while ^ is used to exclude either end of the range. For example, 1..^11 is the same as 1..10, as is 0^..^11 (can't say I've ever needed that, but I could see a couple of possible uses).

This also carries over into range syntactic sugar. ^10 is shorthand for 0..^10, and as a result ^@list.elems is a list of valid indices of a list.

I personally find Rust's syntax noisier, but it's a small issue.
What are the interesting things for you in the compilers space?
Run application:

- under its own userid

- in its own namespace for mount, network, process-id, user-id, ipc, uts and control groups

and presto, you are running in a container.
These comments are pretty interesting, especially the "80/20" and the "top x% of men". Assuming those are both at least partially true... I can't help but think the rankings change within 5 years of being married. That is, what women (probably men too) want when they're dating (or browsing potential matches on apps) changes quite a bit after they're married and have kids.

That is to say, things that match you on apps don't keep you happy for the next several decades. Maybe an example would be something like "he's cute and has a good job" is boyfriend material, but ten years later "all he does is work" really gets old fast.

Not meaning to generalize at all with this, just some thoughts based on what I've seen around my social groups.

I'm not too excited about embedding the data (rootfs) within the image. Have a .preinit_array section that runs a seccomp-bpf filter, unshare, etc with filter, unshare, etc data in their own sections (this allows zeroing a section to get original behaviour)
There is no bad faith in what I said. That is exactly my consulusion from reading it. Not killers really, but definitely vibe of people who tend to respond to interpersonal problems with abuse and retaliation. Also, they did not seemed to care about relationship with real person warts farts and compromises - they want girl in abstract with no effort to figure what would make real girl suitable partner for them personally except look.

I have no way to judge career and don't care. But their grasp of how human relationships work was off from how I see people behave irl - frankly with most focus on rating and social status supposed to be acquired from pairing.

It is also that part where dating is treated as game separate from other kind of relationships. It is not just how I see it work.

I'm not sure why they downvoted you for telling the truth. Lots of ideological nonsense like that here.
The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 established precedents for geometric subdivision in the Americas independent of geographic facts and prior to survey. It is highly expedient. Geometric subdivision enabled Portugal and Castille to reach agreement quickly solely on the basis of Columbus's first voyage while his second voyage was underway.

In the US, geometric subdivision is overlaid with Lockeian concepts of private property. There's no general substrate of alloidal, ecclesiastic and manorial subdivisions. Birmingham Alabama's shape was established in the industrial age. Birmingham England's in the feudal. Birmingham Alabama's shape reflects a history of land sales in the age of rail not royal charters from the Norman era.
So does every other journalist, editor, scientist, and human being... including you.
We're talking about public perception of a company, so whether people find them personally useful is definitely one factor in that.

Another factor surely is notional utility. Even if somebody buys a different car, they can understand what Tesla might do for them. They might never fly on Virgin Galactic, but they could imagine doing it. What Goldman does is something most people will not only never need, but would have a very hard time imagining that they need.
More importantly, there's no specific funding set aside to support the effort to make it available. Government at all levels lives and dies by funding.

> The obvious solution is to send the top x% of men off to war

How would that solve the problem? Wouldn't that simply move the top down? ;-)

The real solution is monogamous marriage, which prevents the top males from getting all the females, in effect rationing females for them (to at most one), so that there's more left for the others.

Polygamy is usually perceived as being detrimental to women, but it could be argued that the whole point of making polygam illegal is to let men who don't belong to the top x%, find a mate.

But in a modern society I'm not sure there's only one dimension against which to measure people's desirability (there are many different domains; the dater's job is to position themselves in a domain where they belong to the top).

Regarding the relation between dating success and pickyness, Larry David says it best in that clip:

There's also Pax [1], also written in Rust. Pax however is only a bundler, I don't think it actually transpiles code.

I don't think this impacts your argument but I don't think your numbers are a good illustration of price/time.

- Paris to Bordeaux by plane is $430 (380EUR) right now, 2 days before Christmas but if you look at a less interesting time of year, like February, most days you're looking at $71 (62EUR) (per ITA Matrix with prices in EUR and Paris as sales city).

- The flight itself is only 75 minutes but right now, it takes 45 minutes to get from Paris to CDG and 25 minutes from BOD to Bordeaux, for a total of 145 minutes travel time. Add at least say half an hour to get through security and get to your gate and you're at 175 minutes total trip time.

- Paris to Bordeaux by train is $126 (111EUR) right now but like air, is much cheaper at a less interesting time of year. Most of January is only $18 (16 EUR) (per oui.sncf).

- It takes 153 minutes from the center of Paris to the center of Bordeaux by train (metro to Gare Montparnasse, then TGV to Bordeaux).

So right now, you're looking at $126 + 153 minutes for train or $430 + 175 minutes by plane. Later, you're looking at $18 + 153 minutes by train or $71 + 175 minutes by plane.

For this particular trip, I think the train is clearly a winner.
> Most of the incels discussion gives vibe of people who are completely socially isolated - not even really having friends or other regular social group which I would see as prerequisite to girlfriend.

You've stumbled on a circular dependency, but your proposed solution is the equivalent of "just fix it". (The joke in social-anxiety support circles is that all advice boils down to "just be yourself", which turns out to be... unwise.)

What makes these men creepy? Is their behavior innate, or acquired in response to other stimuli? If so, from whom? What have they gone through?

I have a quibble with the word creepy, similar to the word toxic: there are people who give off creepy vibes, there are people with toxic behaviors, but the words are used in place of more specific, clearer adjectives.

Card-carrying incels do exist, but the whole debate overvalues their political/ideological platform, completely ignoring men who go through loneliness, mental health issues, alienation and cultural disconnect but haven't made it into a political meme. Men and women experience all these problems, but they may experience it in different ways. When the subject of incels enters the conversation, everything is reduced to Elliot Rodgers.
Alternatively: "even" means "multiple of 2". Saying "no primes are even" is isomorphic to saying "no primes are multiples of 3 [or any other p you choose]". A claim "n can't be prime if none of the other primes are multiples of n", implies that cannot exist at all.
Fox? That is probably not why Fox does it. Fox is owned by a right wing ideologue, and Fox News was started and run by Nixon's former TV guy. Profit matters to them, but ideology definitely is primary.

After a couple years of working all kinds of Android and iOS native development for clients, I finally got a chance to dig into React Native and it's been incredibly fun so far! I hope it's not just the honeymoon phase but it seriously looks like a keeper framework, I've been able to build beautiful cross platform MVPs faster than I ever could before natively.

And hobby-wise, I created an educational program with an entirely Kotlin stack, all the way from a Spring Boot backend to a TornadoFX desktop frontend - sharing all models with the backend and even having a local SQLite instance that mirrors the server side DB and enables distributed and delayed updates - mainly aimed at schools with zero to no Internet connectivity. It was incredibly fun and I got to submit PRs and issues to a bunch of cool projects.

It's been a fun year!
Improved on my Golang understanding and managed to complete a few projects in it. Embraced Graphql and pushed my not-so-decent React know-how to the next limit. Started hosting my projects on Google Kubernetes Engine and learned a fair deal of it.
Currently reading the three body problem. It’s been reccomended here a few times but I still quite like it.

LD_PRELOAD in combination with LD_LIBRARY_PATH is meant to be used by a programmer debugging and testing his or her own shared object library, not for using software in production.
This is one area where wasm may shine; you can distribute it pre-compiled, nobody using JS needs a rust toolchain installed. This is something the webpack team has indicated interest in, for example.

Of course, wasm will need threading first for this project.
Categorizing lumps of matter as different shapes is not theorizing whether shapes exist.
Well, sure, but it depends, in practice the security risk is smaller.

I've seen many modems with a web interface, but it's often not routable to the public Internet in actual use, as the connection was bridged and the job of getting a public IP has been delegated to the PPPoE connection on the router behind it (You need to add another network interface, assign a IP address on your router inside the LAN segment under the control of the modem to reach it).

Some modems have a management link, it can be described as an universal ISP backdoor, only reachable in the ISP's LAN.

But in both cases, it's still better than a modem/router combined unit.

Mh, trauma effect can be transmitted simply by education by parents, for instance if a parent have had a trauma with fire they can act with fear of fire and it's children simply absorb that fear observing. I do not know how this can became "genetic" but I think also something may pass during pregnancy in a way we can call "instinct" in absence of better explanations...

AWS - started this year with little knowledge about it, now I think I learnt it better
Java - Use it every day at work, but started using more and more OOPs concept to write better code.
Elixir - For a side project. Started this year with no knowledge about it, but currently have some good understanding of OTP.
This. Most people who think they write self explanatory code are deluding themselves. While others may see architectural and compile time information, the runtime information especially that concerns with generality of the code, and things it does not do (like the complement of a set) are not at all evident.

What's clear for one person is not for another. Ancedotally, most people don't write as a good a code they think they are.
What is your source for divorce rate? Are you meaning “Divorces (as % of marriages)”? That is not the same as a divorce rate.
The reasons are pretty simple: taxes and racism.

They use Birmingham as an example. Many of the pieces of land that seem like they "should" be part of Birmingham were racist enclaves founded specifically to avoid desegregation. The land was restricted with whites-only restrictive covenants, and if they incorporated as a separate city, why, no one would force one city to bus their kids to an entirely separate school system run by an entirely separate city. Which meant that your schools, theoretically integrated, stayed fully whites-only (still are today). The Economist's bafflement at how this came to be is easily explained if you look at the history.

I also see a bunch of carve outs where specific land owners have removed themselves from the city to avoid taxes.

Typically Rust programs are distributed in pre-compiled form so you don't have to have a Rust compiler installed. I'm not sure why this project ships source code currently, but it could probably ship binaries too.
I am still in my first year of programming and Rust is my first systems language. I don't know C++, just enough for 'gists'. I had already read/skimmed Computer Organisation and Design: RISC-V, and Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces. I worked through 'The 2018 Rust Book' at a fairly decent clip as a result of that context. I reckon that mostly sidesteps the 'help/hinder' tradeoff, though I'm not humble in saying it took a fair bit of dedication (maybe more than simply learning C++ fundamentals).

Edit: actually I'm well into my second year of programming now, time flies...

But... it does discourage discussion. It's a Q&A site, not a forum. You don't just post some thoughts and reply to other people's thoughts: you post either a question, or an answer. If you need clarification on a post, you comment. It's not a discussion forum.

Things that are widely recognized as "good". Who could say no to that for the sake of minimal change? Also, this doesn't affect life in a way that dating or the hassle of having to carry cash with you to buy bread do.

Of course Germany's a leader in a lot of things. But Germans do have a tendency to be cautious and sceptical about innovations that would impose a change to their (everyday) life.
I recommend the bridge mode + a better router solution.
If it takes a container to get static linking for dynamic languages, that's fine by me.

I have one Python project where I'm just using Docker to produce a single, self-contained lump so I don't have to fuck around when installing. This would be a step forward for me.

And then I have a Python library and command-line tool [1] where an awful lot of the issues people report are library version nonsense. I tried to help the first few, but at this point I've decided it's just not my job to make up for the Python community's packaging issues and/or issues related to other open-source projects and OSes. I'd love to be able to produce the equivalent of a statically linked binary for those people.

closing out the year by going over the rust book..

it's a treat.
The price ain’t right, so something’s up, and since the seller isn’t talking, you should probably not be buying.

The scam could be anything (fake card, breaks under stress, etc), but selling at that price and saying its perfectly fine is a very suspicious mismatch. It really doesn’t matter what the scam in particular is, it’s suspicious regardless.
To be clear, there are all manner of reasons why the schools for a poorer population often need to spend more money per student than an upper middle class suburb. At the same time, as you suggest, the best money can probably do is to bring students and the school as a whole closer to parity. It's not surprising that many people who can afford to do so opt out of urban public school systems one way or another.
Because generally, the rich are the ones who miss out in the former, while the poor miss out on the latter. Someone whose house gets destroyed will lose out a lot more from that, then from some small fraction of their pension fund going belly up because the belligerent nation has stopped making bond payments.

Since wars tend to be started by the rich (and their proxies), and fought by the poor, this puts skin in their game.

At least, that's the reasoning. I don't really agree with it.
To be honest, my impression of modern journalism at established news organizations is:

* business model crashing, so experienced staff laid off

* smart millennials don't opt for a career in journalism

* the ones who do emerge inculcated by the college monoculture, largely unable to question authority

* growing up with net-access, they are ill-equipped for any method of fact-finding except google searches

* laziness, incompetence and docile conformity make them soft targets for vested interests

* many stories are therefore just regurgitated press releases

* many 'reactions' are strikingly uniform across independent organizations

On the bright side, the internet allows real information to route around the established press, greatly reducing their ability to shape public opinion or suppress stories that don't fit someone's agenda. We could be entering a golden age of independent journalists whose careers live and die by their reputation for integrity. But even if we are not, wikileaks style journalism -- the transmission of source documents -- should see us through.

> Since they're essentially just scripts

What do you think is the essential difference between a 'script' and a 'program'?
Stoked to see this book mentioned here; it's among my favorites. Stegner's "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" is good too; IMO it has higher highs but is a weaker effort overall.
Thank you for this <3

Technology wise this year was great.

- Learned a lot more about kubernetes (bare metal, gcloud and finally digital ocean, rancher 2.0)

- Improved my JS skills (react etc.), focused a lot more on architecture

- Improved my spring-boot skills and upgraded to Java 11

- founded a company with my partner and got a bit into after-effects (from the technical side, meaning distributed rendering, automation)

- Created a "home lab" setup and learned vmware ESXi

Missed machine learning will check that out next year :)

Sigh. Not everyone is blessed to be have been born in the southern hemisphere, it seems.

As a resident of the big island to NZ's west, it is welcome news, particularly juxtaposed with my own government's lagging response to climate change, in a pacific region with many low lying island nations.

Having personally caught ferries in Australia and Chile, as well as between the border of Argentina and Uruguay, I reflect then on how each nation's carbon footprint could be reduced by adopting such technology.
I enjoy easy page-turner sci/fi or fantasy because it helps me unwind after a stressful day at work. Some of my favorites this year:

Not released in 2018, but still fun and new to me this year.
