How do you consider this flattering?

"If their interaction with the Catholic students seemed like an expression of bigotry toward white people, some of their most vile language is reserved for black people in the communities where they preach."

"The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, categorized at least 80 groups nationwide that follow Hebrew Israelite theology as hate groups."

Would you rather that NY Times not report on confrontations like this?
Denver for instance goes on accident alert during snow because there are so many minor, non-injury accidents. This means that police will not respond to your accident because there are so many and you self-report. There is obviously an error in the part of drivers given the conditions, but most of these would not have happened on dry pavement.

People on the internet love to say you shouldn't drive in inclement conditions, but this ignores reality. Not everyone is lucky enough to work from home. It has snowed 3 times in the last week in Denver. My wife works in healthcare. She has to show up for work unless it is a blizzard.

What are you going to if it is snowing hard with limited visibility when it's time to leave work? Sleep under your desk or deal with a miserable commute that takes 2-3x as long to get home?
Yeah, that was pretty quickly hacked together :)
What if the economic downturn has already started and it's just that these specific companies are feeling the effects sooner than others?
You forget that the US is not the only country in the world. Now patents filed in other countries who adhere to the same standards will get precedence, making US companies unable to protect their own inventions.
This is right. I'd just add that we're currently forcing most people to spend their time in ways that do not contribute to society.

By giving people the freedom to spend their time how they choose, they'll at least have the option of doing something useful.

We can probably do even better than that, but basic income can at least help us clear this low bar.
Many programmers I know have no problem with money getting spent on public goods, as long as they're public good and not public stupidity, pork barrel spending, vanity projects, and that sort of thing.

That said, I do think American-style right-wing/capitalist libertarians are overrepresented among programmers compared to the average public, as are left-wing libertarian socialists/anarchist.
Yeah, I've finally managed to tweak the thermostat on the radiators and the main thermostat for the heater to where I like it :)
Why would you regulate something when there is no consequences? American always hold the position of various degrees of "don't trust the government, take care of yourself", but as soon as something gets slightly uncomfortable someone else is supposed to step in.

Unionizing isn't really like voting with your dollars. Individual contract negotiation is essentially that. Unions have actual market power. It is like e.g. Walmart stops selling something.

A union could adopt a similar clause, but the members shouldn't allow that. If they do you of course have a much larger problem.

People get into trouble on this topic by leaping to absolutes, i.e., "removing all personal responsibility".

I've personally taken "all personal responsibility" for my health, and it's been hugely costly, and only possible because I've been fortunate to have the means and time to do it.

There are plenty of people who try to take full responsibility for their weight or general health, but don't get results because they don't have the time or means to do it given the unlucky hand they were dealt and the realities of their life circumstances, and also because medical science just doesn't have consistently reliable solutions that work for everyone with even the greatest motivation and discipline.

REST doesn't need to use any HTTP verbs other than GET and POST.
It's, in a way, the continuation of VMS and inherited a lot of the concepts.

On a personal note: Best OS I ever worked with. Rock solid stable and a few conecpts and tools, which are still unmatched. At to that the arguably best documentation I've ever had the pleasure to work with in any environment.
Higher ppm decreases cognitive function even at pretty low levels, so being alerted to open your window might improve your work / study.

There's at least this study: https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.1510037

And this video has the quote "At 1000ppm there is a 15% decrease in cognitive function".

If the shutdown gets this far the court system backing this will already (at least civil to start) be shut down. This means that patent shakedowns can continue with no ability to defend yourself or obtain injunctive relief or challenge bad patents.
REST doesn't really have anything to do with the HTTP methods you use. It's about handing off state between the client and server using stateless requests instead of maintaining a persistent, stateful session.

SOCIALPOLIS: A Social and Sustainable Development Economy Coin
Analyzing the financial importance of SocialPolis Coin Project

SocialPolis Coin (SPL Coin) is a mature Blockchain-based solution ideal to support the social and sustainable development of the economy after a period of a deep financial crisis. It is a social currency or a social crypto currency with application in real sector of economy able to restore and foster local economies, support local producers and motivate people to purchase their products and to act as a catalyst in supply process. Moreover, SocialPolis Coin can be the vehicle for donations and/or crowd-funding for social initiatives. Although the concept of a social currency is a novel idea, its necessity is unquestionable. It differentiates from traditional fiat money and it is designed to cater non-demanded resources and unsatisfied needs both social and financial. Its characterization as “alternative”, “parallel” or “community currency” is anything but random.

That's still double the connections compared to having an ALB which only gives you 25/s/LCU. Plus an NLB is 0.6 cents/hour/LCU in us-east-1 vs 0.8 for an ALB.

Yes it's the same problem. But it's not JavaScript.
It definitely shows that this is one of the cheapest meters on the market. But the values seem to be realistic, when having all windows open it shows 450-460 ppm which is at least close to the global 400ppm ( and I live next to a road in a bigger city ).
Sun sued Microsoft for changes to the Java platform, making it not compliant with the trademark.

BPMN is dead. Long live the Lisp
It seems like a good idea until you realize spammers, like DDoSers, aren't using their own machines.

The idea was dead on arrival.
Getting amortised O(1) prepend is interesting because it's just like append, except you "center" or "right-justify" (if you don't care about O(1) append) the array in the allocated space, and exponentially reallocate when full as with append.
Haha, yeah, it really is! ;)

The other one is a good question as well. Spotify pays out when a song has been listened to for at least 30 seconds. This has been abused in the past as well: https://qz.com/1212330/a-bulgarian-scheme-scammed-spotify-fo...

The article says it is not clear if the fraudsters abused existing user accounts or set up a farm. But apparently, the songs have been played. They all were exactly 30 seconds long - this is the minimum play time for a song to qualify for a payout.
Reuters also rarely reports on local news, which is the crisis outlined in the post.
The idea is that distorting images, logos, or text end up with bad proportions, which the original designer did not intend. Scaling an image of a human wider does not create the illusion of being fat.
I've read the comments here and I have nothing to add other than it's sickening that the police see nothing wrong with this.

I guess when you're on the side of the blue line that is protected from the excesses of law enforcement you forget about what the threat it poses to the rest of us.

Interestingly Microsoft also had it's own set of problems with Java when Sun was at the helm. Windows used to ship with Java and Visual studio had java as a first class citizen. Microsoft being microsoft, added extensions to Java which only worked on Windows which Sun didn't like. Microsoft ditched java, stopped shipping it with windows and created C#. Thanks to Microsoft , C# is a far better language than what Java is today and developing on windows is a breeze.

Google on the other hand, has not focussed on developers much. I've been building on android for a few years now and the IDE is derived from IntelliJ ( Earlier you had to use eclipse which was even worse ). They could have easily gone the MS way and used another language or one of their own. Major language features are delayed, the code is incredibly verbose(kotlin tries to solve that to a small extent) and they are fighting a lawsuit which if they lose would be pretty expensive.

It's not entirely clear to me what they could do about it. Since they are an email provider, they probably don't have control over the networks their customers send email from, and what else their customers do with their domains.

Someone could decide to forward their other mail to their fastmail account. Should they then potentially risk email their other customers send to that address? DMARC headers tries to solve this, but the world is dirty, mailing list software suck, and their they would have to take the blame for problems outside their control.

I can understand the decision. They could probably do something to show good intentions, like flagging suspicious email and making sure their own email software shows appropriate warnings, but it's never going to be perfect.
Writing drop-in replacements may very well fall under fair use and be allowed, but this is not what happened in this particular case the court ruled on:

> It was not ... intended to permit third party interoperability, since Google had made no substantial efforts to use them for the purpose of third party interoperability. (In fact it found that Google had tried to prevent interoperability with other Java and had previously been refused a license by Sun for that reason.) It was not transformative in the sense of a new platform either, since other Java smartphones predated Android.

Storing sent mails is really one of the oldest problems of the SMTP/IMAP combination.

BURL [1] is an SMTP extension that allows to submit a mail that is already stored on an IMAP server. This still requires to make a separate connection to send the mail, but at least it does not require uploading it to both SMTP and IMAP only to store it in the Sent folder.

However, this extension is rarely implemented or deployed, although the RFC itself is already twelve years old. As an example, Dovecot started to support it by acting as a SMTP proxy [2] as of version 2.3 in 2017. I am not aware of any mail clients that support BURL.

well almost.
What I mean is: with a credit card, you submit the information necessary to make the payment, to the merchant you're buying from. They could store that information and use it to make payments I never authorised, which is bad. On the Web, some sites have fortunately delegated that responsibility to a payment provider, but the payment provider is still not my own bank.

When I pay with my bank card with an internet payment through my bank, the authorisation is handled by me and my own bank, and nobody else. Nobody else can ever make that kind of payment without access to my password and my 2FA system. That's how it should work.
By calling any kernel API you are invoking code that is GPL'd. It is not like EXPORT_SYMBOL functions are BSD-licensed (and even if they were, they themselves call GPL-licensed code). In fact even making a normal system call from userspace invokes GPL'd code.

So I think there are only two interpretations. One is that EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL attempts to claim a copyright on the interface, and not the code. The other is that redistributing a GPL-incompatible object that invokes GPL'd code is always infringement, and (possibly) the special exception for userspace in Linux's copyright statement, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/LICENSES/excep... , is the only thing that makes normal userspace processes non-infringing, and that regular EXPORT_SYMBOL is basically also an explicit exception (which may or may not even be legally meaningful - during the dma-buf discussion, various copyright holders expressed that they did not interpret EXPORT_SYMBOL as an exception).

Good luck rejecting something when it's mandated by your job, as is often the case with slack and other electron-crapware. Electron apps exist because it's not the users deciding what the things they use are built in, it's the people who build them. For the vast majority of electron apps there isn't a non-electron alternative that allows you to do the same on said platform, and that's not even starting to look at network effects.
I'm tired of the breathless media trying to scare us about the govt. shutdown. For all I care it could shut down 6 months out of every 12 and you would barely notice. The world can go on without patents, without TSA, without the IRS and FBI. It would be FINE.

It can't be a right if it isn't regulated. Unionizing is a legally recognized international right. It isn't really optional. Then of course you can argue how it should work, but that is largely a different matter. You want to waive that right that's fine, but it is just that. Anyone else who wants to keep their right should get to.

This is absolutely true. Even if they notice, they won’t have the familiarity with the functional differences to even measure whether either is a good or bad thing.
I saw some study that suggests that higher CO2 levels decrease cognitive abilities. You wont die, but I do tend to get headaches when the air gets worse.
Depends on whether that figure is based on a point sample of expectancy for an event of that scale, or if it’s based on the expectancy due to the time elapsed since the last event.

As it’s an independent probability (i.e. the time elapsed since the last event does not affect the probability of reoccurrence), it’s likely the former, and therefore the same expected value - 1.2% in any given year.
The Mac has an installed base of 100 million. If you think about the addressable market for a "smaller company", that's plenty. Saying that the Mac is too small for smaller companies to bother with is like saying that Germany is too small to run a small business in. It's demonstrably false.

Or are you arguing that other platforms have a better developer ROI? That's intriguing. Which ones, and why?
>> Exactly: In the first example, they take an array, copy it and add extraneous data for the sole purpose of eliminating a couple if statements?

The IF statements are not even necessary. Compute the sum for the first elements neighbors first (sum[0]=element[1]) and the last element (sum[n-1]=element[n-2]) Then loop over the remaining elements with no conditionals.

I agree with the author that it's probably better to pad it than to have conditionals at every iteration, but for this problem there is no need to have a conditional at all.
Don't you think part of that experience is luck? What can you do if you are stopped at a red light on an icy road, someone comes in hot and rear ends you, causing you to collide with the vehicle in front of you? You will be at fault for the vehicle you hit. Such accidents are common when it's icy. I have never been in one personally, but lots of friends and co-workers have.
Searching for Errors in the Amazon Web Services SDK Source Code for .NET
You stop doing really simple errors if you allow yourself to train in this direction. Really simple errors are really easy to fix. After all boilerplate and effort you make in this kind of typed languages is not worth it. I'm not saying now about inventions like Crystal, where there is no effort + there is performance benefit. But TypeScipt adds complexity, boilerplate, and it still compiles to JS so no performance benefit.
That's exactly what I was saying.
Moot point. Parent did not suggest that users decide which libraries or methods to use in development. Nothing of the sort.

Electron apps come at a steep price, so if it didn’t offer something to the users, it would be hard to understand the proliferation.

In many cases, it offers extremely similar availability on more platforms for less expense than the native alternative dev processes. The argument is if it lost users, that would need to be accounted for. I don’t believe it does.

It's interesting that the mortgages in Switzerland can go that low. I remember that in the eurozone banks are earning negative interest on their reserves due to european central bank policy. I doubt that you would see 1.25% mortgage rates if this were not the case- it very well may be that these rates are not profitable, but are at least less unprofitable than letting the money sit in reserve.

SPF/DKIM are designed to prevent spam and not to prevent spoofing of From. There is a difference.

SPF has nothing to do with the From header. And the DKIM signature does not have to match the sender’s domain, the signature can be that of any domain. This means that for practical purposes, anybody can send spoofed emails. That an email is signed with DKIM, that doesn’t mean much and it is meant to build a web of trust between servers, but otherwise it is useless for the users themselves.

They wrote a blog post about how SPF/DKIM work: https://fastmail.blog/2016/12/24/spf-dkim-dmarc/

If you want to let people know which emails are from you, the From address is very weak. This is because the From/To headers tell you nothing about the source and the destination of the message, according to the email standard. Read that blog post for details.

You need a proper signature via PGP or S/MIME if you want to ensure that the receiver knows the message is from you. And unfortunately this requires education and email clients with support for such signatures (most desktop clients do), but that’s email for you.
This is the coding equivalent of a designer putting appearance over usability.

In this case, it is putting code elegance over readability/maintainability. Sure, you've reduced the number of if statements, but those if statements explicitly represent the logic behind the calculations. Come back 6 months later, and you'll be scratching your head about what's going on. Unless you add a comment, but comments are also a code smell.
On the contrary, I think you summed up my feelings pretty succinctly. Was there something I wrote that led you to think I felt otherwise?
