Depends on how Mongo is run. People going for low-cost, big-company longevity, or ecosystem tie-ins will go for Amazon. People avoiding big companies' complex offerings or bullshit might prefer Mongo. Note the existence of Amazon, Google, and DO havent eliminated the hosting market: more stuff available at lower costs than ever. Mongo might similarily have a shot it they differentiate themselves positively from Amazon.
I think by the time the scientists were able to detect global warming/climate change it was already too late to fix it.

Unless someone invents s technology that can scrub 100M metric tons of green house gases from the upper atmosphere, there is no chance of stopping what has been set into motion. I also think it’s going to accelerate much faster than any of the models predict. My brother is a climatologist and he’s been telling me I’m nuts for years, over the holidays he told me that he now thinks I’m right, and he’s scared for the future of his grand children.

Typically if a company told me 'look we can't afford to pay you right now, but we can get you some low-interest loans to cover you until we have more money', I'd bounce right the fuck out of there.

No, the Internet, even before it was called that way, always had more demand than capacity. For various reasons, not all of them commercial, the Internet was a thing that was very much desired. Even before that, people wanted to build the Internet's predecessors: Connecting computers (long before they were common!) to foster easy and quick communication and exchange of data over any distance was something people have always been working towards.

The Internet was always growing in capacity, size, population and applicability. At no point was there anyone ever saying anywhere "gee, we have so much Internet, what shall we ever do with it". Even during and just after the dot com bubble the Internet itself still continued growing.

Comparing cryptocoins to the Internet, the thing that massively changed virtually all aspects of human life in the past few decades, is...

Global DNS Hijacking Campaign: DNS Record Manipulation at Scale

This is true; if it's under threads and we hop a guard page, we are screwed, due to the race condition; by the time we hit that guard page, the other thread has used the corrupt stack.

I have seen this sort of thing happen! Third party routing stack used in system with thread stacks reduced to 64K. Third party stack turned out to have debugging macros producing "{ char msg[8192]; ...}" declarations for sprintf. Twice the size of a page; hopped right into another thread stack.

(Don't tell me systemd has threads in it, ouch!)
In hindsight, all these stories seem to have a clear thread running through them which can be replicated by anyone with reasonable intelligence, drive, and time.

In practice that particular thread likely required all kinds of environmental details to occur - details the entrepreneur might not have noticed at the time, might have forgotten about later, or might be discounting as unimportant.

I have lived in San Francisco since 2000 and have never owned a car. Transit varies a lot by neighborhood, but I think there are plenty of places to live and get by with just transit and/or a bicycle.
Simple doesn't offer business banking.
We're beginning to feel the crunch of car culture in the US, and not everyone is excited at the prospect of footing the bill to overhaul infrastructure and transportation systems at the public level.

> In a capitalist country, the markets will reward those who succeed.

This may be true, but markets will favor a solution that involves maintaining control of the system in order to generate profit.

If we want our transportation system to rival that of Europe's, it won't be done through market competition for transportation services/technology. Why? Because services like ridesharing don't incentivize the development of solid public-use transportation infrastructure. They represent the next revolution of US car culture, which isn't going to benefit as many people directly once cars become unaffordable for too many Americans, a trend that is already being observed[0].

Once this happens, we're going to rely on cars more than ever because we won't have a viable alternative. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with that idea.

A large majority of "professional" software engineers use google email on their phones. And I've used gdocs etc at times on my phone continuously over the past 20 years, and many of them i was working at microsoft. Apples sales increased for a long time, even though google's sales increased faster apple was, i repeat was capturing most of the profit. We'll see if that happens. I expect several companies out of china to take the android market from samsung (still using android though).
Because they're using Flex & Bison, not Ragel. The latter is specialized for and excels at defining and applying finite state machines. But while the design of Ragel makes it relatively trivial to build ASTs during the parse, you still have to do it manually. Flex & Bison automate much more of the process of transforming an input stream to a tree. Dropping them and moving to Ragel would be a serious refactor.

FWIW, Flex also builds DFAs. It's just that the design of Ragel is so elegant that Ragel DFA machines are more flexible, easier to compose (both in terms of combining abstract machines and in terms of language-level integration), and yet still incomparably faster. While a straight DFA match should in principle be at least as efficient as a perfect hash[1], this is really only realized with something like Ragel or Intel Hyperscan. As awesome as RE2 is, the performance isn't in the same league as those two; ditto for JIT'd PCREs and re2c--neither are comparable to Ragel or Hyperscan.

[1] At least until the input set grows into the thousands or millions of items--at some point the size of the generated DFA grows faster than and overtakes the size of the generated perfect hash function.
But why would you want to limit yourself to those jobs? Even if you don’t have a desire to love in the city center of a major metropolitan area, there are always the burbs and the cost of living vs salary is still excellent almost anywhere besides the West coast and NYC or DC.

It's a reasonable choice for the use-case at hand. I used a similar approach to generate C code using python with jinja2. Ironically, I generated a binary hash based lookup, because the hash values ought to stay constant even when new keys are added in future versions.

Because there are numerous examples of companies misidentifying photos of young children in non-sexual contexts as CP, creating legal and other problems for their parents. This is especially problematic given that even if you're legally cleared, even just being investigated for this reason is a massive social stigma (because the moral panic around CP is so extreme, it thwarts presumption of innocence, due process etc).

2019: "send Microsoft feedback on Twitter about their Github blog post".

So Twitter became a Swiss army knife.
I found the data from Microsoft really interesting. Great article
The article seems purposefully designed to create a hysteria bubble. The subject is highly repugnant, and the associated emotional charge can be used to attack the target of the article (Microsoft), pressuring them towards an undesirable outcome.

1. "Google does it better than Bing"

Google unfortunately does it better than Bing by censoring all searches. It has been impossible to turn off safesearch on Google for many years (the "filter explicit results" setting only switches between soft and hard filtering). This has a positive outcome in this situation, but also greatly degrades the quality of available results in other cases.

2. Omegle?

The article mention Omegle's role very explicitly, however it reserves all of its vitriol for Microsoft specifically. Why? Omegle and the other platforms that are actually producing, hosting and facilitating the origination of this disgusting content should be the ones that have to get their shit together, or in some cases be persecuted. But Microsoft is a "juicier" target.

3 "even people not seeking this kind of disgusting imagery could be led to it"

They turned off SafeSearch, as clearly seen in the article's illustrative screenshot. This is a sleazy statement meant to whip people into a frenzy.

4. "Microsoft must" "human moderators" "underfunding" "another example of tech companies refusing (...)"

The article explicitly orders people, over and over, to be outraged, despite Microsoft's prompt and appropriate response, and makes assumptions that are unconfirmed or untrue.

TechCrunch's conduct here was not great - it seems to me like they handled the situation in such a way that showed their only aim was to attract clicks, rather than get the problem resolved promptly. It was tabloid behavior.

What about sucky experiences that don't end well?
Here's a different way to look at it:

In a culture where memorization and concrete thinking is used to compare $n people within that culture, creativity is inherently more risky, thus less utilized. Poverty in many Asian countries is worse than poverty in the US. With more to lose (and gain), it creates peace of mind to walk the smooth stone road to comfort.

The US on the other hand has had a lot of money to play with for quite awhile. Most poor people have enough food (and a variety of it at that), a modern home, and basic health care. It is very doable to be comfortable on a $12/hr job in many places in the US. ($1,650 per month after tax) (of course, many people choose to live above their means due to societal pressure). The point is, we can/could be more risky (read: more creative) with less to lose, so it's utilized more.
totally, bro.
> It actually accomplishes the opposite; hiding uninitialized values from tools such as Valgrind.

My point is that this is a useful tool when I can't use Valgrind, or any other sanitizer, due to performance reasons or because they don't exhibit the undefined behavior I was trying to track down. And I wouldn't initialize to zero: I'd use pattern initialization to 0xfa or whatever is the standard " lowest probability byte that represents uninitialized memory but is still likely to fault or produce blatantly wrong results".

That's a legal cliche that's basically necessary for the law to be constitutional. But what "interstate commerce" means in practice is not just products crossing state lines. An infamous Supreme Court decision ruled that growing your own wheat for personal consumption "affects interstate commerce", for example.

Your reply is quite rude. It is deeply unreasonable to suggest someone can’t play chess e.g. on their morning commute because other people are too whiny to accept that disconnections and move delays are simply a built-in reality of internet chess, period.

If your experience of internet chess can possibly be affected by intermittent disconnections or move delays by your opponent, then you are being the drama queen. That would be incredibly unreasonable.

>companies like Facebook, Alphabet, and Verizon

It may well be worth applying far stronger anti-trust to all of those, but I still think it's a mistake to lump together some companies that are merely big and have network effects with a company that has both government granted and natural monopolies on limited physical infrastructure. Given the massive backlash in just the last year against Facebook, and competitors growing vs Alphabet, it is at least arguable that it's too early for drastic steps before seeing what happens. There have been other big tech players that nevertheless got displaced over a decade or two (Xerox, IBM say). And even if they do need remedies, those may well be different remedies then what would be appropriate for Verizon (GDPR-style for example, transparency and control for people over data). There is in fact only so much available usable EM spectrum, or rights of way for cables. It's a different class of problem with different solutions and tradeoffs.

I just worry that if you lump too disparate things together it'll become an easy defense for the worst of them, and we'll end up with a situation where the likes of Verizon or Comcast or AT&T or whomever refer to themselves as part of the "Google/Facebook" group and then point to Bing and claim anti-trust is overblown. Also, reducing the most end point monopolies could have ripple effects up the stack, if everyone had content neutral symmetric WAN links closer to LAN speeds again it could significant aid decentralization, at least for the initial growth stages.
It's quite possible that this is just a spectacular side effect of proteins the fungus produces to prevent ice crystals forming within its cells.

> he would probably say the inputs into an NLP model would need to capture a much wider range of human culture and behavior

I get what you're saying - that something deserving the name "language" way outstrips the simple word embedding strategies in TFA, right? and I wholeheartedly agree - but my point is that the position of PI, at least as I read it, is fundamentally opposed to the idea that modeling - what he calls "a mental mechanism" - is how language proceeds. This is one of the major points of divergence between PI and the Tractatus (which posits an explicit correspondence or modeling relation between language and the world.)

The most explicit formulation of this that comes to mind is in PI #689:

> "There must surely be a further, different connexion between my talk and N, for otherwise I should still not have meant HIM."

> Certainly such a connexion exists. Only not as you imagine it: namely by means of a mental mechanism.

The point is very much that PI's emergent view of meaning is quite in tune with the connectionist sentiment that a bunch of simple elements (i.e. neurons, either in the brain or in some AI project) can exhibit the rule learning and rule following capacities at the centre of PI's treatment of language, without any model of the elements of language needing to be explicitly encoded.

The degree to which such a model may or may not exist, embedded within the parameterisation of a language-capable set of neural components, is an interesting question. But even granting its "existence" I think the point would be that the basic properties of the set of components, coupled with the training and samples provide the capability and the "model," if we want to grant its existence, is effectively a by-product - epiphenomenal if you like. :)

Upvoted for the city suggestions - that's really helpful. But I'm still going to vigorously disagree that MTV is "bland suburbia" :-), even if it's not better than these cities (and I personally did not enjoy Savannah when I visited). There's a spectrum of city interestingness - all I'm arguing is that MTV is very much not at the boring end of it. It might be somewhere in the middle.

on or over this barrier, make a left turn, or a U-turn
across it, except at designated openings (see diagram)
On the contrary. Backend work is clean, and much closer to pure theoretical CS algos and data structures. That’s why most fundamentally solid devs prefer it - more within their comfort zone. Front end work is dirty and involves a ton of arbitrary crap like the DOM, browser quirks, JavaScript, CSS, async logic, or god forbid a native OS. Rightly or wrongly, however, I think there is a perception that front end devs only know how to fiddle with that stuff and are weak on CS fundamentals. Bottom line, though, is that recruiters are dumb as rocks and you shouldn’t care much about their opinions. They are just trying to get warm butts in seats.
Nope, that was someone else. I'm just defending MTV being called a "pit" and a suburban dystopia - it's not the most interesting city in the world but it has interesting parts and tons of opportunities not available elsewhere.
And I’m suddenly interested again.
