David Duke doesn't hold a government position. He can speak wherever he likes; running for office (or having held office in the past) doesn't change whether he's a private citizen (he is) acting under color of law (he's not).

Further, even an official can attend an exclusive private event, if they do so in their capacity as a private citizen. But if they go to events and conduct government business, that's problematic.
I saw my other doctor, slightly more decorated orthopaedic surgeon, that literally told me that I was blasted with XRay for no reason or my MRI wasn't necessary.

I have an irritating bone spur in the shoulder, that's the only problem.

The doctor ordered both Xray and MRI at the same time, while there was literally no need for one of them.

Bitbucket was originally focused on Mercurial. At the time I think Google Code or whatever they called their Mercurial/SVN hosting was an option too. There was also Gitorious, etc. At that time even Bazaar was still being used by some prominent projects.
Revenue peaked in 2015 when he took over, and only got past that in 2018. So net 'going down' until 2018. Yes, the stock has risen quite dramatically during his time though. Even has revenues went down - wall street dramatically lifted his valuation.

Contrast that with Ballmer, who consistently and reliably grew the company with solid numbers for over a decade, and was rewarded with a stock lift of 0.

The stock lift of MSFT over the last few years is the result of Ballmer. A) his tenure and B) the fact the stock was obviously suppressed a little bit during that time, only recently have the multiples been allowed to shift, and when they did ... the valuation jumped up.

Satya seems to be doing well, but for now it's mostly politics and perception. We'll have to wait and see if his material contributions lead to material change in terms of product and revenue at MSFT.

Yes, you, personally have an incentive to be stingy.

But when you are talking about a big organization, they find ways of spending money because the managers of the organization are not aligned with the shareholders. Every organization has pressure to keep expanding because there is always more stuff that could be done, and you can hire people to do that stuff up until the total earnings are in line with the market return irrespective of the above average earnings that could be had without all the extra activity. They will keep spending on marginal expenses to "defend" their rents up until no rents are to be had. This is called rent dissipation.

A good example would be education, and count the number of educational administrators, gold plated dorm rooms, activity centers, weird classes, etc. Then go look at hospital spending. Instead of the nurse giving you a tylenol, they invest in a prescription dispensing vending machine that costs $$$, and they hire more administrators. Then take a look at your standard corporation and look at all the odd positions they have that a "lean" smaller company or a start up would never have. Compliance officers, marketing staff, assistant to the marketing staff, support services, travel support, real estate management services, etc.

So you can think of this as a law of bureaucracy, unless there is someone imposing discipline on the cost side, the managers of a bureaucracy are going to grow that bureaucracy until they run out of money. This is how ATT ends up funding basic research and discovering the cosmic microwave background radiation. Because they have all this money to spend. And I guarantee you that at its halcyon days when it was obviously a monopoly and thus earning monopoly rents, ATT was not earning more than the average market return on their investment because they kept "investing" in hiring more staff and more resources up until the total return fell to the market required return.

That command makes my eyes twitch. This sort of "download random stuff from internet, then pipe them to ruby/perl/python" madness should end, like right now. I'm assuming you're a reasonable person who knows what that commands does. Can you really not see how people can misuse commands like this to execute arbitrary code on people's computers, even experienced engineers if they carelessly copy-paste code like this. As a rule of thumb, to whoever reading this, please don't trust random strangers online and run their code. You never know. Always download code from trusted sources and check sha hashes. Piping anything else to ruby/perl/python is playing with fire.

I'm not missing any point, I'm well aware of the fact that centers of worship are important to many, or even most, religions. You've jumped into this comment chain pretty late, and the original point I'm making is probably difficult to glean from these later comments. My whole point is that the above poster's claim that

> you have absolutely no right to prohibit anyone from practicing that religion simply because you don't like it.

is just straight up not true. Several countries, including liberal democracies such as France with its laws that prohibit face coverings even when worn for religious purposes, do indeed prohibit religious practices. Attire and appearance is important to many religions, and liberal democracies do indeed prohibit those. drugme's claim that people (I assume people in liberal democracies is what's being referenced here) do not have the right to prohibit anyone from practicing religion is not correct. There are plenty of instances were people's religious practice is restricted by law.

Then the commenter tried to pull a pretty blatant moat and bailey by trying to claim that their comments only referred to those that want to "prohibit [a religion] outright" as opposed to only prohibiting certain aspects. In response to which, I pointed out that a ban on religious centers is does not "prohibit outright" a religion either.
argv[0] is defined to be the "program name" by ISO C. What exactly this means is obviously platform dependent, and of course the caller can ignore it altogether and put something random there, but at that point they're the ones misusing the API in a way that breaks the spec.

Note that this is ISO C, not even POSIX. So ELF, Bourne shell etc are implementation details that are out of scope on this level.

I think it's time to finally give up this mindset. Past misgivings be damned, Microsoft of today really doesn't look much like Microsoft of the 90s.

As far as I know, Microsoft has been supporting the development of Git for Windows. They are also apparently going to support their VFS for Git protocol on GitHub, but VFS for Git is open source and supports Windows and Mac (and apparently, will support Linux.) And they claim Git is now the source control for Windows, which is impressive if true. By all accounts, Microsoft has been supporting Git in some form for several years and appears to have only increased their stake.

I still think GitLab is awesome, though. There's a whole ton of things GitLab does that GitHub does not. I will probably continue to use both, myself.
Here's an odd thing: browsing the fiction books with date:1923 I saw a familiar title, "Seven Days in May" by Knebel and Bailey[1] -- a story definitely written well after that year, since it opens at the Pentagon, a building only opened in 1943.

In fact, per Wikipedia[2] it was published in 1964.

Yet if you open the IA copy[1] at the linked page you will see "First published 1923".

WTF?

Heck, here's another: The Doomsday Men by J.B. Priestly[3], "First published 1923" but in fact[4] in 1937.

To add on to this, the creator of MONAIC - Bill Phillips - is easily the most badass economist/mathematician to have lived in the 20th century.

He worked as a crocodile hunter and cinema manager in ANZAC and later moved to China during the Sino-Japanese War, but had to escape via the Soviet Union during the height of the Stalinist purges. Yet immediately after that he ended up joining the RAF and being posted in Singapore, which was then invaded by the Japanese, and he ended up being sent to a POW camp after being caught after trying to escape via Indonesia. During his time in the POW camp, he learnt Chinese, jerryrigged a secret water boiler for tea, and built a secret radio. Following WW2 he was then made an OBE due to his exploits in SEA.

As if that wasn’t enough, he went back to school to study maths and Econ at LSE and ended up developing the epynomeous Phillips Curve that is the backbone of macroeconomics (and his coauthor won a Nobel for it since Phillip died before the recognition).
We don’t pay for that drug research via insurance though—even worse it’s our taxes that fund big pharma’s research and we give them tax breaks. So it’s even worse that we subsidize them and then allow them extort the public.
Why would they be? They are both employer sponsored and would still rise to drive profits for the insurance companies.
They don't need to get ahead by six blocks. They need to get ahead, with at least six blocks mined on the public chain. There's a massive difference there!

The chain starts at block 1000, and you make a spend that will be included at block 1001 on the public chain. At the same time, you start mining your private chain from block 1000 (and you don't include that transaction in it). Now, the exchange you're using requires 6 blocks of confirmation, so you need to wait until block 1006 on the public chain before you can actually take delivery. Now that you've done that, you can publish your private chain at block 1007 (or 1008, etc) and since it's the longest chain, it'll be accepted by the public.

You didn't have to get 6 blocks before the public chain got 1 - you only needed to get 1 more block than the public chain, at some point after the public chain has mined 6 more blocks.

> Regarding investor preferences, they only want the money spent if it gives them a positive NPV.

Precisely. And cash rarely gives the best NPV. You put money into companies with the expectation that they make MORE money in the future.

> Pharma companies are already paying dividends, which means they have funds in excess of their NPV>0 projects, which is why they return them to shareholders.

And there you have it. It means that Pharma Companies are making more profits than they know how to reasonably invest into themselves. Which is PRECISELY why people get annoyed at them, especially when they have huge marketing budgets and $800 Epipens.

---------

There is a Christian Parable about the man with 1 Talent (where Talents were a unit of Gold in the time of Jesus). The man buried his gold, because he was too worried that he'd lose the gold.

The man's peers however invested the money and grew their Talents. The man with 10 Talents had 20 Talents at the end. The Man who started with 5 grew to 10.

The man who buried the gold ended with just 1 Talent (the only one he started with), and was therefore punished. The religious message here is not to hoard your Talents (ie: Gold), but to invest them and grow yourself, and your masters.

-----------

I guess not everyone is a Christian. But if Pharma companies can't figure out where to invest the money, then perhaps they could at least return the money to their customers by lowering the price of their drugs.

Returning the money that they started with is... not growth. Companies are supposed to grow (through new R&D, improvements, etc. etc.).

I was thinking just now about some sentences I would use if I was selling pens on a corner for making the rent and cigarettes money: If I saw a young couple coming to take a quick look of curiosity, I would ask to one: Did she/he ever wrote on your arm that he/she loves you? _ If I saw an old lady taking a quick look, I would say, in a humorous joking way: Those are lucky pens to write the lottery black rectangles, you may spend a dime on the pen and get a million in return, if you dont get the million, you get a cheap but good pen to write lottery tickets for a good time. I should think of more sentences someday, it is a fun exercise.

Germany and the UK have very similar health outcomes [1] but the UK spends significantly less - 9.7% vs 11% GDP [2]. The UK probably should spend some more on healthcare but it's an open question whether that would be more effective at improving health outcomes vs spending the money on reducing poverty.

Though Java was 'designed', it was not 'designed' to be an http/web server.

JS, particularly Node.js has really adapted itself to that well.

And one small but massive difference: JSON is how data is passed and it fits seamlessly into Javascript, and doing JSON in Java is an ugly, ugly thing.

As soon as you compare not JS/Java, but Java/Tomcat vs. JS/NodeJS - then you get a different comparison.

I quite like using Typescript on Node.js over Java - development speed is faster, and this is a really important thing.

Ok, then use the money that would be used by Musk's tunnel to improve the blue line. Musk's 1 car system is great for a few but long term it adds nothing to solve the problem and drains money from the transits system.

Musk is a businessman and he's looking to make a buck. I applaud him for that but he's not humanity's savior and his solutions need to be properly evaluated.
What's considered a good bps for an very senior engineer joining as 20th employee, at a series A company with a couple of million dollars revenue?
Being 72, I'd never even consider looking for work in tech in spite of being very good at programing. While I have no experience in the current tech market to base my opinion on, I am sufficiently intimidated by the perception of agism that my potential contributions will be lost. Trying to change a tech company's age profile will be harder than just becoming receptive to applicants if applicants do not apply.
Developing skill is hard, buying a product is easy. What you're saying makes total sense if you want to become an excellent driver but most people just want to buy some related equipment and watch events from their couch.

> Alternatively if compile time is not the slow part of that pipeline, then you're prematurely optimizing the wrong thing anyway.

Developer productivity does not matter in your world?

> In other words you only optimized the critical 3% of the codebase rather than prematurely optimizing everything with pImpl abstractions?

Yes, because nowhere in this thread have I advocated prematurely optimizing everything with pImpl abstractions. Those are words you have put in my mouth. pImpl abstraction is a single tool that can be used to improve compile-time performance. Not all the time, but in a fraction of the 3% of the time where it is appropriate.
BSDs don't ship Bash as part of the base system - you have to install it from packages or ports. And that one is the most recent that the maintainer bothered to package. E.g. FreeBSD is on 4.4.23 right now, which actually appears to be newer than e.g. Debian unstable.

> I've found with experience and heavy linting you can avoid the vast majority of bugs.

No, you can't.

In fact, I can't even begin to see how "apply this specific standard to the code" (linting) is even remotely related to "know everything about this particular domain so you don't make any mistakes in creating an application for it" or "know everything about this particular system so that a given difference in configuration screws up your application at run time".

You seem to be primarily a java developer so I understand why you prefer avoiding tests (among the many things that Java makes absurdly difficult, writing tests is one of them) but you should still write tests .

Look at any serious open source project, most of them have hundreds, thousands of tests. It's almost presumptuous to think that one knows more than the community.

> I swear it's like 95% bug reduction.

The only situation where linting really causes that much of an impact, that I've seen, is in an application where a huge portion of the code was just connecting or boilerplate that should've been brought from third party libraries anyway, and was written only because of the NIH syndrome.

Mind you, having code style is necessary so that any given developer can quickly get up to speed and more easily review other developer's code, but it doesn't (nor it shouldn't) tell you whether whatever you wrote actually works.

Assuming otherwise is like pretending that a movie featuring state of the art special effects, cinematography, etc, isn't still Transformers or similar garbage.

The Boring Company isn’t asking Chicago for any money to build it (which is great! Chicago is broke due to pension obligations and historical graft/patronage), and will support itself off of use fees. It will be 100% privately financed. This is no different than how the Illinois Tollway is operated (and while the tollway is plagued with oversight, governace, and corruption issues because Illinois, Musk can have the benefit of the doubt).

Sidenote: If the CTA is chronically underfunded, and the city is broke, perhaps the $2.25 fare the author mentions is structurally unsustainable.

I’m not going to judge so fast and say that he’s not humanity’s savior, because I don’t see a lot of folks with his resources pushing in the right direction like he is (despite him appearing to be on the spectrum and occasionally a shit person). To be determined.

As I said below:

The upward pressure on prices is also from the insurers. Insurers have an "80/20 rule" from Obamacare that only 20% of their revenue can be spent on non-medical expenses (ie. profit, insurance administrative overhead, etc.). They pretty quickly hit the caps, and now only by increasing medical expenditures (the other 80%) can the pie slice that contains their profit grow year after year.
It is actually the other way around - Govt regulated costs (medicare and medicaid) highly influence insurer compensation to private practices and hospitals.

Medical Providers (doctors/hospitals) negotiate based on multiple of Medicare as payment.
