he means that you end up paying the same in property tax, even tho the house itself is much (6.5x) cheaper. and the tax payment comes out of your cash flow, not your assets.

but he’s not taking into account other reductions in expense, like no state income tax.
Yeah… Then there is this issue of how the author said that all speakers that that dialect can also speak standard English. Maybe you should go back a couple of comments or read the article and check that out.
Oh, that's easy;) See, "serverless" is just the new name for what we used to call CGI. There are people who've been doing it since the '90s! (Sure, we made it nicer since then, but if you squint just a little...)
The funny thing is that has already happened with automated traders and they still keep at it. They have gotten fooled before by misparsing twitter feeds and they keep at it. They have gotten some kid-glove reversals though.

The thing is that it just needs to mess up less than humans to be worth sticking with it or have the political inertia to be 'preferable' to humans bureaucracies making the decisions even if it is sub-optimal. Zero Tolerance in schools is a godawful policy but because it lets them cover their asses even when it results in them getting sued and losing due to wrongdoing by trying to avoid frivolous lawsuits which they would win it is unfortunately sticking around.

The whole reason bureaucracies proved useful over just fiefdoms is that constraining to rules worked better than leaving everything to the discretion. Even the infamous 'flower poetry' Chinese exams were a leap forward because it meant that anyone who could prove sufficient literacy could get government jobs instead of just those connected and offered a floor. Not a great one mind you but literacy is a pretty good baseline for 'capable of handling paperwork and worth giving a decent paying indoor job'.
> My immediate response was pretty much "where the hell else should they put them then?"

He didn't mean to avoid $HOME as a whole. Just the root of the $HOME directory.

I too much prefer having programs write their config files to $HOME/.config/program-name instead of $HOME because it's less clutter and now I can think "ok, $HOME/.config is where all of my app's configuration is", instead of having a bunch of files littered in $HOME while other apps use $HOME/.config/file_name or $HOME/.app_name.

It bothers me that .pypirc exists in $HOME, rubygems credentials are in $HOME/.gem/credentials and Docker's credentials are in $HOME/.docker/config.json. That's 3 different location styles for an app's config file. They should all be in $HOME/.config/$app_name/relevant_file_name for whatever the config is for.
OK, but that means that people who are more motivated and knowledgeable (depends) will be the ones contributing, or will make up the majority of contributors. Does it not? I can see how it could be beneficial to a project.
If we start sandboxing applications and give each one its own UID, like Android does, we get this feature for free. It's kind of silly to associate exactly one security context with exactly one user.
So these Python programmers, do they have any domain expertise too? What value do you put on that?

I am actually a similar age to the OP. I am 49, not far off 54 in % terms. I have 19 years of Python experience.

I recently started a new job, my 3rd time in consumer finance.

Two months in, I already understand the business far better than the two year mark of those two previous roles. My direct productivity is at least 3x me ten years ago. My likely impact on the business is 10+ times more.

Plus I still work harder than virtually anyone else I know, regardless of age.

So what's the delta?

This is the gist of what Apple's customers are after: luxury, vanity, fashion.

> You are welcome to invest in their open, and very mediocre, funds though.

Are you really though? Show me how an individual can invest in any Renaissance fund (e.g. RIEF) They are only open to institutional investors as far as I know - i.e. those looking to invest say, 250m or more.
I was trying to keep it an apples to apples comparison. With 10+ more years the dev might have machine learning experience (or something else) which would qualify for more.
Well, magnetite (Fe3O4) is, but you're right that its a silly theory to use to explain poor signal. For one, signal would have to be able to penetrate a decent amount underground in the first place, which it can't.
I know a few vegans who introduced me to soy milk years ago. Now I think it has a fishy after taste and I can't stand it anymore.

2-3 years ago many grocery stores added other milk alternatives. While I think almond milk is the best, oat milk is the second place but much cheaper.

Generally, milk is heavily subsidized in Germany and alternatives are 2-4 times more expensive, so I don't know if this a little hype or the start of a lasting change. Milk costs like 0,60€ a liter, oat milk costs 1,50€ and organic almond milk can cost up to 4€ a liter.
Just curious - if the ephemeral instances are caused not by regular usage, but a mining botnet, will you have the tools to detect what is wrong (before the bills skyrocket) and mitigate?
Show HN: Bandit.host – Run and host multi-armed bandit tests
I waned to test some landing pages (rendered on server, not client), so I built:

https://bandit.host

▪️ Run & host multi-armed bandit test between raw HTML pages

▪️ Build your pages in any program, copy&paste into Bandit for testing

I'm already using this for a few client projects and campaigns, but I wanted to turn it into a SaaS MVP to see what potential it has in this early stage.

If you have any feedback, I'd be happy to hear it :)
A less aggressive step could be that the max penalty could only be 10% more than the best plea bargin offer.

That would still allow for pleas, but would remove the ridiculous asymmetry that currently exists.

We could leave in the 30 day rule though which would significantly improve the system.
My god, I feel for these people. When you read stuff like this, you have to wonder why anyone is a public defender and grateful that people sign up. It seems soul crushing even for the most idealistic of people. The caseload results in situations beyond your control that can punish you. I also have to wonder if one of the reasons why we have so many people in jail is because we have hugely overworked public defenders.

The government can't give them a choice if they want their operations to be successful.

Research "the Fourth Estate".

When it comes to military operations, either covert or overt, the media coverage actually has to be considered as part of the operation. For this reason intelligence has to have influence with major media and draw hard lines with respect to certain required propaganda.

People are going to dismiss that as a conspiracy theory especially with regard to the US, but before you do think about it.

Have you ever read about a war where the soldiers were describing their motivation and they talked about strategic objectives? Do soldiers go to war to chanting about "20% More Oil Reserve Control Hoorah!"? No. Because wars involve risking your life and killing others. Because of that, military personnel need moral causes to fight for. If they turn on the news and they start saying that three oil executives are predicting an immediate five percent rise in oil prices if the Venezualan nationalization continues into 2019, is that really going to motivate them to shoot people? No. They need a bad guy. They need to know they are fighting against a bad system and for freedom. It needs to be cut and dry.
The reality is that as a white person, if I am sufficiently disrespectful to a police officer, I am liable to get beat severely or arrested. In a confrontation with the police, there is a chance that I might be unfairly killed. The issue with the race is that this happens at twice the rate to black people. The issue is NOT that it never happens to white people – is that the rate is disproportionate. My opinion is that police should never kill citizens by choice, and that the issue is really more of a citizen power versus police than white versus black.
It is perfectly legal to ask. It's illegal to base hiring decisions on that info though.
Maybe you could sketch out how you drew that conclusion from what I said?
If I understand right, this was roughly the system 50-60 years ago. From memory, the average murder trial took under 2 weeks, and very few went to appeal.

We've replaced that with a system which in some ways has much higher standards. There appear to be decades worth of appeals possible on death row, involving all kinds of experts. But the flip side of this is that most trials don't happen, thanks to plea bargains.
The XDG approach is over-engineered: it adds complexity and provides no benefit. What is the specific concrete advantage of putting some parts of foo's state in ~/.config/foo, some in ~/.local, and so on? All this approach does is scatter what's conceptually a single state blob across different parts of the filesystem. I dealt with this stuff in Windows for years, and we don't need it in the Unix world.

The conventional dotfile approach is just fine: there's an application and it puts state under a directory named after itself.

I dont know too much about McKinsey (besides from the obvious) but I would like to know what why they might be a horrible company.
In principal yes, they look like any modern web application but reality is different.

For example stateless web component is a primary requirement to allow servers to fail as well as auto scale. Most enterprise applications I have seen falls flat on face.

I have seen enough cases in which customer endlessly debates why his snowflake of a web server went down and expects a RCA with god knows what details.
Sounds good, but all these noname Chinese boards literally have no support and no updates. If something serious like KRACK attacks will come - good luck to patch it all.

Wifi over USB? Thanks, nope.
A reasonable multiplier here would be 1.

Anything more is coercion to give up your rights.

The issue with this is of course that if people exercise their rights, the courts would be swamped.
Timing was at least part of the problem with Itanium. Arguably, had Merced (or, ideally, McKinley) shipped while the great Internet buildout was going on, Itanium might have made it over birthing pains before the dot-com crash and then been in a position to ward off Opteron and AMD64 when those arrived.

I could argue it was doomed from the beginning as well for various technical reasons given how the industry evolved. But there's at least an argument that better time to market might have been enough to get established as a dominant 64-bit architecture.
Rust is approximately as fast as C. So a straighforward reimplementation of CPython in Rust would be approximately as fast as the original.

Rust makes it easier to write programs that don't leak memory and don't have data races, but it doesn't make them run faster.
> attribute a combination of blame and envy to tech.

Well, it doesn't help when techbros from 4chan and other 'techie'-linked spaces routinely troll these same journalists by suggesting that they should "learn to code", or something. I'm not saying that their envy is justified, but it seems that there's more than one side at fault here!

technically no, it's only cheaper as he bribes the customs in serbia and gets VAT back in hungary. it's already as complicated as it gets.
To give a tangible example, Aaron Swartz was offered a plea bargain for six months in federal prison, on charges that carry a maximum sentence of 35 years imprisonment.

In simple game theoretic terms, it's usually optimal to take the plea bargain even if you're innocent, you've got good representation and your case is strong. A certainty of a short sentence is preferable to the possibility of your life being ruined.
So, what's gonna happen on Wayland when these X-variables aren't defined? Am I going to lose config and have to copy directories from XDG to .config/ because that's new default?
This isn’t a solution, because programs that follow the standard generally don’t create dotfiles.

export XDG_HOME_CONFIG=$HOME/. might work for some broken programs but it would be a hack.
As soon as you said "oat milk" is "much cheaper," I knew this had to be in Europe. It's far more expensive in the US than it is here, particularly compared to American soy and almond milk prices. I believe this will change over time due to the large increase in interest (Oatly from Sweden has a North American product and now Silk is starting their own) and the existence of a significant domestic oat industry.
Largely they lack context to interpret what they’re seeing. One that jumped out at me a while back:

They were showing physician payouts from Medicare and presenting them as though they were salaries. Problem: some specialties carry overhead in their Medicare payout.

When your cardiologist prescribes you a blood pressure medication, that money goes to a pharmacy, not to the doctor. So your physician payout is X (cost of visit.)

An oncologist prescribing you a chemo infusion, however, has to buy that infusion from the pharmacy. Medicare then reimbursed doc Z (cost of the drug plus a couple of percentage points). Docs Medicare payout looks like Z; his take-home salary is actually about 0.03*Z.

The failure to distinguish between these meant that PP’s data massively over-inflates these specialties’ salaries. PP just presents them at face value.

Or another: hospitals rarely charge their publicly posted prices. The vast majority of their pay comes via rates negotiated with insurers. PP loves to post their public numbers and go on about high variance numbers without any recognition that those numbers are in no way pegged to the actual negotiated rates. PP presents them at face value.

Largely, PP just doesn’t ever seem to dig deeply enough to find the nuances and caveats in their data, to find how they relate to the actual underlying questions that they
-superficially- seem to answer, like “how much are hospitals charging people for this procedure?” or “what kind of money are doctors taking home?”
Not a exact solution you are looking for, but a hack solutons:

dpkg -S .foo
apt-file search .foo
rpm -qf /foo/bar
I don't consider any of these programs shameful. The linked article is a bad take, and there's nothing wrong with the traditional unix approach.
The difference is Soylent is a complete meal, not just a milk replacement. Soylent is more like Slim Fast or other meal replacement drinks.

There have been a bunch of reports citing MS as being second in terms of market share and growing nicely (hence the MS valuations going up), for cloud based deployments rather than third after Google. That's a failure of Google to beat Amazon and not to get beaten by someone else. That happened on Pichar's watch. That's just a small part of Google's business and a huge part of Amazon's business. Puts the whole ads are all there is point of view a bit in in perspective. They are all ballpark in the trillion dollar valuation range so I think the comparison is fair.
You can stand just about anything, just have to give it a chance. I’m reminded of a decade or two back when I switched to diet drinks, though I preferred the sugared. Now sugar soda tastes horrible. In the 80s we moved to low-fat milk, shortly after whole tasted horrible. How did I ever drink this?

Take a month off then try a unsweetened coconut/almond blend, get over the hump, wait two months. You’ll be surprised at the taste and possibly disgusted you ever breastfed as an adult at a random animal you don’t know.
There are no conan packages on Github, usually you can find recipes along (or separate) the sources.

Yeah, the term conan "cache" may be a bit misleading, as it is not only a cache but really your "local remote". As soon as a recipe is in your cache, you can depend on it from your own recipes/conan builds. The actual building of the package may happen during the registration of the recipe or during resolve time when you depend on a certain package configuration. Any transitive dependencies will be resolved and, in case of --build missing, the packages will be built automatically according to the recipe.

So no, you do not need to build any dependency packages (including transitive dependencies)
And it doesn't even have to be useful to the companies although it certainly helps. They just need to /think/ it is useful to sell it. Theranos raked in lots of money before it was revealed to be a lie.

Capitalism and values are fundamentally a means of resource allocation - if everyone is wrong about what really matters that means it is valued even if its true utility is nill or negative.
I thought it was fairly clear 'q3k was referring to the 64 bit ISA introduced in amd64, not all the legacy stuff either kept around in some form for compatibility (x87, encodings) or stuff that isn't part of long mode (BCD, segmentation, real mode).
I've made cashew milk and oat milk at home and they're naturally colored as they are on store shelves. Also, you can look at the ingredients list to verify that they are not colored. I don't recall the last time I saw or purchased one that was artificially colored.

EDIT: Removed the first sentence as recommended.
Thoughts on Elixir Community by a Clojure Developer
You think you're going to knock out a booking app with those features in 5 weeks? That's wildly optimistic. Charge a reasonable hourly rate (at least $50), do not do a fixed bid.
If it happens once on a lifetime and you can afford it: You just calculate how much it'll cost in insurance policy vs invested in government bonds.

The other point: I think most people here are concerned with the insurance paying up once the real deal happen. Most of the time the insurance will: 1. take a lengthy legal path to exhaust you 2. pull some article that you didn't notice from the contract to get away with it.

So you are screwed twice. ouch.

I'm not claiming insurances are a scam and you should avoid them. I'm using them. But I can understand why some people are frustrated.
Oh, wow! Thanks for the correction. I had somehow missed that. I'm working on a rust parser of Elixir myself, and using LALRPOP for it. But looks like I'll have to check out pest, too. LALRPOP has the advantage that it takes a BNF grammar, which the Elixir parser in erlang includes, so it's a somewhat straightforward translation. Not too sure how similar it is to a PEG grammar that pest takes.
5.4 million Americans have lost the right to vote through felony disenfranchisement.
The article delineates the difference between this dialect and slang. That’s kind of a key point.

Really, it acts as if people are speaking completely separate languages. So, imagine if I was arrested in Mexico and I could speak English and Spanish, but insisted on speaking English and then complained that the court personnel misunderstood me.
PyPy should be releasing soon, if you use cutting edge then you have to use cutting edge PyPy as well
Well a lot of these people are smart BUT who wants to risk his job for an adventure which if successful will help the company and if unsuccessful will probably get him fired.
We are buying a new iSeries and the IBM person was very specific that the terminal we have in the server room is NOT supported anymore without some weird interface board. I was kind of sad at the thought. Even sadder knowing I'm going have to load IBM's client access software on some poor PC.
Establishment media organizations in the Anglo world are so reluctant to criticize of the Government line on anything related to foreign policy. It seems like it would be so easy and risk-free in the current era especially.

They're either ignorant of the history of US interference in Latin America, or they're ideologues acting in bad faith. I imaging there is also a strong pressure to go-along to get-along that weeds out anyone who would properly push back.

I recommend The Gray Zone Project for a counters-establishment perspective. Like all journalism, you need to know how to read it, but it really does cover foreign policy in a way that NYT cannot.

If you prefer something more tabloid-y I recommend The Canary. They even have US and UK editions.

Soylent isn't really aimed at health, more convenience & novelty. Its not unhealthy either, but you get my point
The method I use is to mentally list out everything I know about a topic so as to hold it in my mind at once, then throw it a way and consider everything I have not considered yet. Essentially forcing a new perspective and using the old knowledge as paths I’ve already been down. If they’re still correct I’ll just discover another angle they’re correct I hadn’t considered before or simply realize something new.
It doesn't take 5 years to teach yourself Machine Learning. While it is definitely a skill, it is not black magic. With a 5 year delta you could easily have ML experience, and a lot more as well to differentiate yourself.
I have a short, related tale.

In a long battle to be more intentional about what I keep around, I wanted ~/ to function both as my desktop and downloads directory, on both macOS and nixos. Using it like this would force me to deal with cruft quickly, and avoid crap silently piling up out of sight until its origin is forgotten (though desktops will hide the .dotfiles; those could still accumulate unnoticed).

It was easy to set this up on nixos, but I found the handful of apps dropping non-hidden files there grating. Magic folder behavior on macOS didn't work as well with this.

I ended up replacing ~/Desktop and ~/Documents with links to ~/Downloads. The naming isn't sensible, but I'm happy with how this works on both systems so far.
It's too small even for second-hand.
f-strings were "backported" to pypy and work fine.
The original post, from 2014, states

> I tried using both open (no auth) and WPA/WPA2

meaning even without encryption, the TCP performance with OpenWRT was worse than the original firmware.
We backported fstrings to 3.5. We also have an alpha quality linux 3.6 available on nightly builds
People don't really undersatnd the power of their small choices, Google is just another business if they find enough people is leaving their services because of the filters they will surely eliminate them.

> "Quite clear" is not an argument

Yes, and I explicitly said I didn't have an argument but only my "layperson viewpoint".

> IANAL, but I know the rough outlines of US contract

Great. I don't care. Argue with other people about that. All I wanted to do was correct the perception that the journalist was a member of the bar and had some kind of legal standing.
