Both sides are being stupid here. Trump knew the #resistance mindset makes it impossible for democrats to even trade something they supposedly care about, DACA protections, for the wall he cares about.

I just find it mind-boggling that this path was even tried when it was a big gamble on popular opinion overruling #resistance.

I find it hypocritical that the democrats are willing to spend more money on #resistance than what they could trade wall for DACA protections. Remember, real americans and children brought here illegally are effected by this inability to trade what you supposedly care for with what someone else cares for.

It is human to care more for your family than you neighbor, more for your neighbor than a stranger countryman, more for a stranger countryman than one from another country. The people already here illegally are our countrymen, but the people not here yet are not. Lets make sure our people is taken care of.
This is 100% the CEO's decision. Remember, he rejected a perfectly good funding plan that was put forward by his own allies back in December, before his enemies took over the board on January 3.
On the other hand, I wouldn't know who Ben Shapiro is without having watched Rogan videos. It's an important info to have, because it tells you what people are interested in, and what they believe in. You can't communicate efficiently without knowing that.
(1) The US government did just that -- promised backpay for all unpaid work during the shutdown.

(2) Banks may not wish to give loans to folks who have bad/no credit, even with the assurance. Banks need a bit more than assurances that the government will pay their debtees -- they need assurances that they will get that money.
However, who determines what is a conspaircy? The government might be deciding that Iraq has WMDs and any evidence to the contrary is a conspiracy. While some measures are needed to be taken, who decides what is? No one is truly impartial.
The censorship (while required due to how much crap is in YouTube) might devolve to 1984 without comple transparency, which we all know google isn’t providing.

one thing though, in swift you can actually mutate fields using optional chaining, e.g. person?.name = "Bob". you can't do that in c#. not sure about rust but in scala you would unwrap the optional with a foreach or something.

First off, the FAA should be privatized like it is in Canada and other countries, then it would not be beholden to a non customer.

Second shut downs are structured as they are because Congress does not like the check and balances the Constitution tried to establish between branches of government.

By making shut downs painful on the public, the employees of the government to include its soldiers, they can force a President to accept whatever budget they come up with. There is no line item veto, Congress would never dare give up that power. So it comes down to putting sufficient pressure on any Administration so they understand who is boss.

They simply ran into someone who could call their game and honestly its the best result ever. We worry all the time about Administration overreach in this country with each change in whom is elected but the real overreach has always been the US Congress. The two parties do everything in their power to keep the game to themselves which means making it nigh impossible for anyone but them to change the rules.

I'd image they want to consolidate all their services and add a couple more like what wechat did. They will probably add the ability to send money.
The loans wouldn't be federally guaranteed, for any meaningful definition of the phrase.

If you're deemed to be credit-worthy it doesn't really matter, and if you're not it doesn't really matter if you have a federal job. The federal government won't be paying back the banks if the employees fail to pay the loans back.

well, fwiw Cowboys Stadium can expand to 105K and has had multiple events at that capacity, which would put it at #3 on that list.
Personally, I don't commute by car, so really a majority of the miles I drive would probably be all-gasoline given the plug-in's meager 12 miles of electric range. So a used Prius is far cheaper and also more efficient for me.
I think they would link all your accounts by phone number. This may not appear directly in the front end app.

Most likely though in the background they will use these links as ways to package your identity up when selling to advertisers. Thats what I'm guessing is the end goal , enrich their stagnant platform (FB) with their growth platforms (WhatsApp and Instagram)
> we sometimes forget how hard it once was for developers to build apps across a wide range of different platforms.

I take it you never had the misfortune of developing for J2ME? The blog is laundering history - by severely understating the horror of how it was before: CLDC/MIDP combined with model-specific vendor extensions (E250 would have different packages from other models by the same manufacturer), add non-standardized screen resolution resulted in your apps compatibility matrix having to be in 4-dimensions, at the very least.

Not entirely. For now Flutter is focused mainly on mobile apps whereas Revery is focused primarily on desktop apps (though we do plan to tackle mobile apps eventually and Google is sort of moving in the direction of targeting desktop in Flutter).

However, we are like Flutter in that we're implementing all the UI components from scratch. It is a lot of work but I've been shocked by how quickly things have moved -- I made my first PR a little over a month ago and since then we've gotten: checkboxes, sliders, scrolling, buttons, input components, box shadows, overflows, etc. as well as a ton of performance/bug fixes. Our example apps went from rendering images to including an interactive version of Conway's Game of Life seemingly overnight.
> Interesting thing I discovered when I was concerned about SFO delays is that SFO is one of the few airports in the U.S. that does not use TSA for security...it hires its own private security officers.

Yeah but this article is about the FAA staff, not the TSA or security staff.

SFO's private security has no bearing on this outcome.

It's a good baseline. I once wrote a paper featuring about 20 pages of case analysis. This makes me good programmer, yes? Well okay I wrote a dozen paragraphs of code and a theorem-checking algorithm, and abused that algorithm to populate a human-readable latex template, and published that without shame. Such a good programmer.

It's an interesting thought to approach these types of coding questions from a different angle -

If I wanted to become a better programmer, what would be the best way of doing that?

In other words, if I practice this style of problem solving day in and day out, will that make me 10x more efficient at my day job? Honest question... I don't know the answer, although, I doubt it will.
There is a GCC plugin that can automatically calculate the cyclomatic complexity for programmers, and it has been built into the Linux kernel source tree. I don't know if there is any public statistics, but it would sound great for code reviewers.

Is there a reason government is inefficient?
It would be great if Youtube actually stopped recommending irrelevant videos that I do not care about (the recommended for you videos) and instead only showed videos in the sidebar that are relevant to what I am watching at that very moment. If I am watching a conspiracy video then I would prefer it if I got another conspiracy video as a suggestion rather than a random cooking video - and it actually goes the other way too! Every time that I go to watch a gaming or a programming video at least one of the suggestions is some lame political or conspiracy-related video.

Generally the speed you can charge a battery pack falls off as you reach higher charge percentages. It's why a lot of manufacturers quote their fast charging times as charging to 60% or 80% not to 100%.

That means that a great way to have a car that can charge quickly to ~100 miles is to give it a ~200mi battery pack.

A Tesla Model 3 with the long range pack (310 miles rated range) can charge to 100 miles of range in under 20 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger:

Edit: Here's another example of someone getting ~100 miles in 10 minutes:

Why don’t you check Wikipedia or literally any english-language newspaper, instead of sending people on a mission explaining the basics to you? Nothing anybody is going to come up here in two paragraphs or less is going to do the subject justice.
I'm going to start this comment by saying that I don't agree with or approve of most of/anything Facebook has been doing. Security and Privacy are very important to me when it comes to the internet. I don't have a Facebook account.

So now I'd like to point out that the article has a couple mistakes. You don't actually need to provide anything but a phone number to use Facebook Messenger, but not many people know this, it seems. Related to this is a lot of hand-wringing about "oh no this will mean Facebook is watching us in all these apps now". Well, I'll address this in a second. I want to talk about this quote in the article:

"Matching Facebook and Instagram users to their WhatsApp handles could give pause to those who prefer keeping their use of each app compartmentalized."

This is already impossible. WhatsApp and Instagram collect information on you whether you have a Facebook account and whether or not you are logged in if you do have one. They know who are you are (this is the reason why I don't really care how encrypted WhatsApp is, I'm not going to use it). So if this really bothers people, well, I've got some bad news.
Personnally I find those kind of meta informations useful.

It's midly annoying to not have better suggestions, but on the other end, it gives you a perspective on what kind of people are fed with what kind of info.

Kinda like the old email chains my mother used to send me. It allowed me to understand what were her fears, hopes, and lack in understanding about things I never had the chance to talked about with her before.

Typically people do not go to work while living on their emergency fund. That is why it doesn't sit well when we tell the government employees that they should be living off their hard-earned savings while they work for us for free. It's not an emergency, it's madness.

To some extent, people work for the government because of the stability. You are not going to wake up one morning to find that the United States Government is out of business, so an emergency fund seems less essential than if you were working at a startup with 3 employees.

With government work no longer being considered more stable or reliable than the private sector, the one advantage that the government has used to recruit workers and pay them less than average is gone. That means government work is going to go un-done, or they're going to have to start paying employees more to make up for the risk. That only hurts us taxpayers.
Prius drivetrain is quite complicated.

> that have a turbocharger,

It's not only Toyota. I think this is an instance of you get what you measure. European car automakers jump into turbocharged engines, because it was easy to meet NDEC. Now WLTP makes it a way harder, hence mild hybridization.
That's true, but the only way you'll be able to pay is if once things are rolling again you have that much extra cash. I don't know how tight people live.
Just to be clear, I agree with you. I was just trying to present their argument in as unbiased a manner as I could
I'd prefer it to be this way. Airports could hire their own screeners, set their own rules, and they wouldn't be as affected by this shutdown. I think it'd be interesting to have airports do the same thing with air traffic controllers, with both airlines and airports kicking in equal amounts of money to employ and train them.
Another aspect is that with the equipment where we worked for a competing product, Huawei was cheap because it cheated in electromagnetic compatibility requirements, while our products were strictly required to comply. I suppose the reason for more lax approach by customers to Huawei was simply the desire to bring it up as a new competitor and cut prices.

Sure, the things worked well enough. They maybe caused interference in some other equipment, maybe not, but in any case it was not too bad, because the EMC requirements were quite tight for these products.

(This was 15 years ago and I have no specific references, I just remember the frustration of our HW designers.)
How many times since early in 2017 have we collectively said something like "I highly doubt that any president would ever dare ..." only to find out that the current occupant of that position has no such qualms?
What's interesting about your statement is, I believe, that's one of the reasons why Trump was elected. There are a certain demographic of people who want our country to be run more like a business. These people likely thought Trump would be able to do so, given his "business acumen".

I'm not sure what the current situation says about this concept, if anything. Maybe the government is its own beast and can't be run like a business at all -- not saying that Trump was the right guy for the job, but wondering if any CEO type would be?
Preferably, actual emergencies, not manufactured ones. Property damage/maintenance, healthcare, travel to visit family in an emergency, money to cover expenses if evacuated due to a natural disaster, I can think of more. Certainly job loss fits into this but federal workers are not losing their jobs at this point; it's an untenable situation.
ProseMirror is easily the best source code I've ever worked with. The components are so well architected, that inside the codebase there's a 100 page book on software design principles waiting to come out. I'm serious. Marijn Haverbeke should certainly write a AOSA (http://aosabook.org/en/index.html) style piece on how & why the software is architected in such way.

What sets ProseMirror apart from the rest (Slate, Quill, Trix, Draft, etc.) is - ProseMirror isn't simply a library. It's an entire platform with all bits and pieces needed to build a simpler rich text library. Rightly named "toolkit" instead of a "library".

Source: We are using it to build our soon-to-be-released rich text feature in comments for Zoho Writer (https://writer.zoho.com)
The President makes budget requests to Congress before the budget committees plan and submit their appropriations bills.

The perfectly good funding plan did not include the budget requests the President made. Whether you agree with his politics or not is immaterial. It is not 100% his decision.
>> They can't pay for informants.

This probably isn't the place, but I don't want them paying for informants. There is no vote I can cast to stop this practice. Effectively, I have no choice but to have the money I work hard for taxed and used in this fashion.
That is the point in the process where we are stuck now, but not where the sticking began a month ago. Trump had a perfectly good budget on his desk, written by his allies and passed by Republicans, and it even had wall funding in it, and he vetoed it because it wasn't enough. Then the government shut down. Then the Democrats took control.

Amazon has explained in their reinvent videos that Aurora is the storage layer of Postgres rewritten to be tightly coupled to their AWS infrastructure. So it is just regular Postgres (they upgrade to latest on a slightly slower cadence). And there’s no benefit to getting the Aurora layer upstream, no one else could use it anyway.

Citus is an extension, not a fork.

So neither of these projects are doing Postgres a dis-service. Both are actually pretty heavily aligned with the continued success and maintenance of mainline open source Postgres.
You may have misunderstood my reply to mean that I don't understand what's different between TLS and end to end encryption.

In fact I don't understand the difference between TLS and -- let's call it E2E' (that which might be "end to end encryption"). If E2E' permits the message broker to intercept messages, does it satisfy the conventional definition of "end to end encryption"? No, certainly not. Is it any better than TLS? No, not in my opinion.

Here's what I quoted, which I believe to be E2E':

> What e2e encryption does do is make messages nearly impossible to be intercepted in transit or on a massive scale by anyone without the cooperation of the company.
It's tempting to assume the AI will just keep getting better and better, but that's not guaranteed, and I was happy to see that the Deepmind folks in the video clearly acknowledged this. In the game that MaNa won, it's possible that he did so by finding a strategy the AI agent had never encountered before, causing it to respond with nonsense (e.g. not building a Phoenix and pulling its entire stalker army back to deal with warp prism harrassment). In a game with a strategy space as large as SC2, it's possible that an AI will never be able to saturate the space of viable strategies, and it will always be possible to find edge cases that the AI has no idea how to handle.
MIT Model for Identifying artificial intelligence “blind spots”
That's used to be true but in the past two years they've gotten quite bad. For instance, during the child separation story they called it "President Trump's child separation policy," when describing it. Only weeks later did they call it "the increase of child separations due to President Trump's zero tolerance policy." It was known the day the story broke that he didn't enact the policy.
>It’s sad seeing people actually disagreeing with you.

It's because of a high-status meme that's gone around that "Governments Aren't Households" followed by a pedantic lecture about a few dimensions where they have interesting, but not fundamental differences. And it's true: reliable, trusted governments e.g. suffer lower costs from going into debt, and are able to recapture some of the expenses. Plus, they can default in a way that's technically legal (inflate away the debt).

But none of that changes the more important, relevant similarities:

- There are limits to how quickly you can accumulate real resources to pay off debts.

- There are severe consequences to being unable to pay debts.

- There are debt levels that are dangerous to have and which prevent you from raising funds for real emergencies.

All of these are true and relevant for both governments and households.

Yes, you can debate how close you are to the breaking point, but you can't simply avoid the comparison entirely just because Governments Aren't Households.

In a corporation or other well designed systems there's a clear chain of authority. In the US we have two different branches that can both claim to have a mandate from the people that can get into fights. The designers of the US constitution did better than I would have with the information available to them but we've had lots of sorts of democratic republic tried since then and now we know that US style presidential systems usually end up falling apart fairly quickly. We're lucky that we had Washington as a good example of temperance and then then the weight of tradition keeping our system afloat.

and include the copyright/license and a list of changes (which is indeed a little strange if it's actually a fresh implementation). That said, if you're needing to provide the same license, then you might as well fork it and not worry about starting from scratch.
IIRC J didn't use intrinsics until maybe two years ago. They used mostly C and everything was built with for-loops. Some special verbs or phrases were however implemented in x86 assembly.
Air Traffic Controller here. You are correct.

There are many airports that are just a runway and have CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) where pilots advise each other of their position, heading, intentions, etc.

ATC can give clearances to aircraft landing and taking off from such airports, but the clearances only apply in controlled airspace, usually starting 700ft above the ground. ATC can also make sure there are no other IFR traffic for aircraft requesting clearances, but if it's VMC (visual meteorological conditions), there could be VFR traffic for the IFR aircraft that ATC is not talking to.
