It doesn't make sense, but it is a pattern. There is a similar pattern in French: all nouns ending in -tion or -sion are feminine (apart from a single exception: le bastion). Handily we also have most of those nouns in English too.

When learning French I stopped searching for patterns in genders. Some are truly weird, like penis being feminine and vagina being masculine. But I told myself it's no different to having to remember the pronunciation of every single English word, so my brain easily has capacity for it. After a while it becomes just as natural.
It works great. Even my parents learned what to install and not install on their windows PC. The key being that the safety features are all on by default. But for those of us that need to run software off the beaten path, we can.

You know what I think its a fault of:

Lack of a canonical DevOps "university" stemmed from SV startups.

DevOps at this point should not just be a degree -- it should be a freaking field of study and classes offered by YC.... Look at their pedigree of companies at scale. We should all make an effort to give back in this regard...

So how do you see that changing my point, that the brain seems to need about the same amount of energy as AZ does?
Just use the English words like everyone else.

It seems like there was an effort in the 80ies/90ies to have native German names for concepts in computer science, but today those just sound very dated.

The clojure equivalent isn't much worse:

(println (+ 1 2))

Then

clojure calc.clj
I think you can easily construct other examples, e.g. "Ich trete meine Rechte, die ich, Gott sei Dank, habe, ab."
Let alone illegal. If the country legalized assisted suicide then I'd agree with what you are saying
I kinda miss it, actually. XML had many warts, but at least everybody spoke it, and it was the same everywhere. Occasionally you still had some overlapping but different things, like XSD and RELAX NG schemas (though even there, there was a big difference - one is a language for describing data types, and the other is a language for describing grammars). But it's better than several dialects of JSON, YAML, TOML etc.

I also rather liked thorough extensibility. Namespaces were the right idea, despite clunky syntax. Today you can see Clojure doing something similar in Spec.

And while we're on the subject of XML, XSLT and Clojure; I feel like this is the best solution for readable serialization of tree-like data, and an associated ecosystem of tools (to validate, transform etc). Note some nice features for humans, like the ability to comment out a specific node, in addition to the usual line-oriented comments.

Now think how non-Americans feel when they travel to America.

Tipping culture (alongside mass homelessness in some places) feels very awkward to me when I'm in America - I never know who I'm meant to tip, and a few times when I havn't offered one people have been really aggressive about it.
Write long functions
I enjoyed the likes of Jurassic Park, Timeline, The First Great Train Robbery hugely. Found State of Fear too much like hard work.

I think I might be similarly disappointed with Fleming if he had held a well publicised stance about equality and women's rights through his career, and then put out James Bond. Course the Bond movies were very different to the books.
Just an example: recently I made a search about korean pilots. Nothing controversial. First page results were all big media. In particular I noticed an article on NYT which was a badly made summary of a blog post that perfectly answered the question in the original search and it was even linked as source. Yet this blog wasn't even in the first page of results, but it would have been years ago.
And that's true for all kind of queries. We always get those pathetic summaries made by big media of much better blogs by small companies and normal people who it seems don't deserve the first page anymore (despite being the original creators of so much quality content thst get rewritten by the big media).
And let's not start on how inaccurate results are when a search is even slighly controversial.

Google shifted from being a web search engine to a promoter for big media companies. They should start advertising the company as such instead of lying to consumers.
React can't execute arbitrary database queries.
What a wonderful write up! I learned a few languages already and think about languages and their complexities a lot. Very interesting post!
Is this supposed to be an ironic post? Because it isn't.
Well given the amount of Internet traffic out there, I'd say that one percent (albeit 'less than' that) could be rather a lot of traffic that would be blocked if TLS 1.0 or 1.1 were totally dropped or blocked.
To give another example on how genders are assigned to new nouns, interestingly English imports often have a different gender in Québec and in France (Belgium and Switzerland will usually use the same as France, probably do to its regional weight).

A job and business are masculine in France, feminine in Québec, it's the most common case (I think feminine is the default for all new words in Québec while masculine is the default in France).

A Game Boy however is usually feminine in France and masculine in Québec, like a party.

Others have the same gender, say blog or sushi (for another origin than just English) are both masculine everywhere.
Nice! Let’s write some Twitter bots with that...

"Disable compression (mitigation of CRIME attack)"

Is this really the best solution? This might get me an A+ at ssllabs but I also need an "A" from gtmetrics[1] and if I turn of gzip I will not get an A.

In Western Civ., was whale eaten

My understanding is that it used to be quite normal in Europe back when whales were plentiful and relatively easy to catch off the French and Spanish coasts. However by the end of 17th-century whale stocks there had completely collapsed due to overfishing, and it fell out of favour as food. In Europe it's really only Norway, Iceland and Greenland that continued eating whale into modern times and even there it's popularity has dropped dramatically since the 80s.

Even violent consenting things shouldn’t be weird.
Such and utter BS. There is so much science in econ. Just look at some of the work of the nobel laureates. Gary Becker treating social relationships as outcomes of economic relations. Great and provacative work. Ostrom on tragedy of the commons and solutions? That has properly changed the way we treat things like fishery, with more sustainable outcomes when applied correctly. Had we learned more of Douglas North, we wouldn't have so much kleptocracy in eastern Europe in the post-USSR period. Fama in finance, etc. etc.

Too easy to dismiss that much work. And don't blame economists for the crisis. That's politics. There are a lot more lawyers in politics than economists...

We don't discredit the whole of psychological science for the failures of a load of social pop-psychologists. Perhaps, perhaps we can discredit the whole of nutritional science. And even there I'd say we have learned some but that the financial incentives are so biased against proper learning that it's hard to blame the field as a whole.
I believe most LTE chipsets can be tuned into any band you like, as long as you design your own RF front end (antenna and circuitry to/from the chip) and persuade the chipset manufacturer to give you a firmware update in such a way that they aren't liable for you distributing illegal devices. It's probable quite difficult to find manufacturer who is prepared to work with you if you're only going to buy 50,000 modules. I guess being Cambridge Consultants gives you contacts.
It depends pretty much on the setting.

On age old companies, you might have some hard time as many use proper German terms that seem foreign even to CS universtity students.

On modern companies, it is pretty much a mix of coloquial German and English terms.

Every time something Clojure related appears in HN top - there are a bunch of comments criticizing the language and most of them are so unfounded.

You'd start reading and even before finishing a second sentence you'd realize - the person has no clue what they're talking about. Listen, Clojure is not a small language like Lua - you probably won't be able to form an educated opinion about it by trying to build something simple over a weekend.

People would say the hate JVM, when they actually mean "Java". In 3 years of using Clojure I almost never had to even read Java code.
They'd dismiss the language immediately because it is not statically typed. If you think maintainers of the language have no clue about type theory and completely unaware of all the research of recent years happening in Racket, Haskell, Julia, Agda and Idris - you are very wrong. Things you can do with clojure.spec are absolutely mind-blowing.

If you claim that it's hard to find a Clojure job - that's not true. It is not harder than finding a job in Scala, OCaml, Erlang, Haskell or F#. If you've forced yourself to "love" Javascript, Python, Java or Typescript simply because they can guarantee an employment - I'm truly sorry for you. Sometimes I think people must be either crazy or completely ignorant - who in the right mind would choose JSX over Hiccup and Json over EDN?

If you claim that it is hard to hire Clojure developers - that not true either, you simply need to be ready to pay more. People come to Clojure out of curiosity - not for dogma, not for points in résumé. Clojuristas are usually more experienced devs, tired of all the bullshit that inevitably gets accumulated overtime in almost every language. Clojure(script) is not a silver bullet either. But in most-cases it simply makes sense and it just works.

It'd be funny if it wasn't entirely normal for the BBC's technology output.
Memrise was great for learning vocabulary. I greatly expanded my French vocabulary using it. But I later tried to use it for Afrikaans and found they had redesigned it and it was useless.

Duolingo is completely useless in my opinion. It doesn't teach you anything about grammar and doesn't teach you much vocabulary. It's more like having random conversations with a native who doesn't actually know much about their own language, except you will never ever be able to converse with a native after only using Duolingo.

It's a waste of time just like "Roseta Stone". Both try to tell you it's the "easy way" because it's how babies do it. Well babies spend years immersed and completely helpless without language until they finally get it. Even if you could go through with that, would you even want to? As an adult you would be stupid not to use the best tool you already have for learning things: your mother tongue.

If you're serious about learning a language you need some way to learn vocabulary, a good book or books in your language to teach you grammar, and lots and lots of material in the new language: books, news, films, radio etc. You will not be able to learn to speak without a sympathetic native, though.
Ha! If even the packaged earphones.

Forget Spotify. People are listening to music on throttled YouTube.

Compression wasn't the antagonist of music. Not even the consumer's general cheapness is the antagonist. The website that pirated it all, and then got bought by a parent company larger than the market value of the entire music industry combined, is the antagonist of music.
Not really comparable tho. In React, the JS in the HTML is to make loops and conditional rendering, i.e. presentational logic, like in any other templating system. In PHP, you can embed business logic and database accesses in the HTML.
Agree entirely. Take a clear statement. Say it isn't clear what someone may want from that statement, claiming it is confusing when it really is not. Do what is clearly the opposite intention, blaming deliberate stated confusion. Grrr.
There are several possible situations:

- the django like situation: the configuration is pure code, and it's a mistake. It was not necessary, it brought plenty of problems. I wish they went with a templated toml file.

- the ansible like situation: the configuration is templated static text. But with something as complex as deployment, they ended up adding more and more constructs, until they created a monstrous DSL on top of a their implementation language, with zero benefits compared to it and plenty of pitfalls. In that case, they should have made a library, with an API and documentation making an emphasis on best practices.

- and of course a big spectrum between those

The thing is, we see configuration as one big problem, but it's not. Not every configuration scenario has the same constraints and goals. Maybe you need to accept several sources of data. Maybe you need validation. Maybe you need generation. Maybe you to be able to change settings live. Maybe you need to enforce immutable settings. Maybe you need to pub sub your settings. Maybe you need to share them in a central place. Maybe they are just for you. Maybe you want them to be distributed. Maybe you need logic. Maybe you want to be protected from logic. Maybe the user can input settings. Maybe you just read conf. Maybe you generate it.

So many possibilities. And that's why there is not a single configuration tool.

What you would need, is a configuration framework, dealing with things like marging conf, parsing file, getting conf from the network, expressing constraints, etc.

But if you recreate a DSL for your config, it's probably wrong.
but what Gawker did to Hulk Hogan was far worse than what AMI is alleged to have done to Bezos.

And it's Gawker's treatment of Hogan that put them into bankruptcy.

Many organizations successfully violate the law because their victim is unable to secure the legal representation they need. If we find out the AMI can't withstand giving a rich person the treatment they reserved for those who couldn't afford legal remedies, then Bezos ruining them is as philanthropic as Thiel saving us from Gawker.
I've always kept a mental capacity tracker in my head...

Would love to hear what others are also tracking.

It's a fiction. Liking the author is optional, even if one likes the book.

I do think there is heavy politicization of climate science going on, when reporting science to the public. For example, reporting is increasingly confident, while science is not. Climate sensitivity estimate hasn't improved at all for >10 years between TAR(2001) and AR5(2014), it's still from 1.5 to 4.5 C. Where is confidence coming from? Repeating things over and over should not make one more confident.
You're assuming a random NGO "CEO" or "exec" would be ever hired as the CEO/exec of a large private company, which is hardly the case.

Those people are not taking a hit working for an NGO because they would never have the equivalent roles in the business world.
I was half joking.

In my personal case I have grown more and more frustrated with Apple's products.

It boggles my mind that my 5 years old MBP is more pleasant to use than the one I got at work 1 year ago

(to be 100% fair, the new model has one nicety : the fingerprint reader, even though I am not 100% satisfied/convinced, it is nicer than entering a password).

I am more than ready to jump ship to any other product at this point.
Even an OS that I feel is inferior for my personal needs won't be too much of an issue if it does everything else better than my current laptop.
Not really. For quick authoring, configs should have pre-authored snippets for common things, that are commented out, and have adjacent descriptive comments ("Uncomment the following to ...") - this is regardless of their syntax.

And for complicated stuff, you're going to spend a lot more time reading the manual than you will actually typing those closing tags. In fact, in most cases you'd be copy/pasting bits from the manual as well.
I wonder if The Washington Post will report on this. :-)
BBCs reporting is nothing short of dire on everything at the moment. Random people on twitter are better journalists.
I just did a (very quick) check and – at least here in Germany – the carousel brings up all kinds of sites that one would not consider traditional news outlets, e.g. mobiflip.de, stadt-bremerhaven.de and lostineu.eu. It also shows the more traditional (but also pretty new) news site watson.de, which launched in March 2018.

I feel like it's not really hard to be generally approved by Google. What I know from my daily business: You have almost no chance in beating traditional media when it comes to really popular news topics like "Angela Merkel" or "Brexit".
I'm not sure I agree with this. In thiels case they outted him for being gay. Hardly progressive.

Gawker was a bully that made it difficult for others to fight back. From the ordeal or took a lot of work to punish them. I say good on him. (He was fighting a revenge, spy porn tape for hulk and himself)
Someone thought they were being really smart digging this up, didn’t they?

Why anyone feels the need to cape for AMI is a mystery to me.
You can go one step further replacing ich with ick. :)
Isn’t this what the learning curve is about?

Although we’ve heard of hover boards, and the rare steals bursting into flames it is odd that battery robots on rails weren’t thought to be a fire risk.

That added to the fact that it wouldn’t be simple or safe to get to a fire in the middle of the grid.
> Laravel just has too much magic that will bite you later on.

Especially when that is not explained in the docs or just in a very vague way...

I tried improving the docs by pointing out where magic (e.g. fix naming conventions) is needed and where not, but the mantainer just turned that into vague mush again (after he had even agreed to the changes).

Also if you need any more details that are not in the docs, everyone points you to paid video courses that assume you have a Mac...

That honestly leaves me with a bad taste im my mouth after trying laravel :/
Larger wages will be put ultimately on consumer.

Now you have two Amazon's. There is absolutely no difference between them. Goods are ten percent pricier in second one, but employees are paid more (they appreciate tips anyway).

Which company would you buy from? Which company would you invest in?
Just signed up for this. A few issues I noticed:

- Signing up for the 'free' plan requires a credit/debit card for activation? I know why you're doing this (using Stripe's Subscription API) but it seems very sketchy. People unfamiliar with Stripe probably wouldn't trust this.

- After I signed up I got presented with a standard Rails error page (on the /users) route. Not a great first impression...

- Also the password reset system doesn't seem to work... just redirects me to the homepage. And I can't login because my account isn't activated...
Hi,
thank you for your feedback.

That would be a terrible idea.

We're at a point in time where the public, politicians and the tech community itself are becoming wary of tech monopolies. Currently Amazon has avoided the brunt of it (mostly due to being consumer friendly unlike Facebook) and the scrutiny it has had, has been focused on it's retail business.

Bezos booting someone off AWS would bring a ton of public scrutiny to an even more powerful monopoly, one that the public and politicians are by and large ignorant of. Plus it would (rightly) shake the tech community out of its complacency around cloud lock in and encourage us to explore solutions. (I realise there's already a lot of good work happening around this, but it's not an issue I've seen the wider industry talking about much)
Finland 'free money' trial did not spur unemployed to find work, researchers say
Except that it is factual that AMI is involved in a criminal enterprise, since they plead guilty to crimes involving improper attempts to influence the 2016 election.
I wonder how much building fires are a source of pollution in urban areas.

Whilst commuting into London Liverpool St I’d quite often see huge plumes of thick black smoke from fires in tyre dumps, which must be a huge source of pollution even with all the diesel lorries and cabs.
It's the first time I hear about tipping an Amazon driver.

Your, and the parent comment, perfectly encapsulate what is going wrong on the macro level with the specific example at hand. Your link is the system as it works today, a medium agnostic hyperlink that allows you to start listening on any device with a browser and a speaker. The parent offers a locked door to a meticulously tracked and monetized walled garden.
As an Ocado smartpass customer who is expecting an order today, this appears to just be manifesting itself as a few items out of stock.

Slightly disappointed though if I’m honest. This was the future. And now it’s going to be looked down on by every semi critical person as a complete failure even though the actual picking process was working very well.

For those who don’t know, Ocado was the only supplier in the UK that pretty much have a 1:1 correlation with what you order and what you get and haven’t been sitting on a shelf for days. All the other supermarkets are picked from local stores by hand and are quite frankly terrible with 2-15 items (from experience) missing on every order and some things very near expiry dates.

Sainsbury’s for example substituted me some bread which was out of stock with a fresh loaf expiring on the day it was delivered. The delivery turned up at 22:00...
By artificial fuels I mean ones created by us using renewable energy. If we can create something similar to current fuels from a renewable source then that would be fantastic.
Weird, i always found it hard to justify the legality of either that type of bidding war or the operations and structure of an organisation that would participate it one.

I think blackmail is obviously wrong as is sensationalism and appealing to base desires over informing people. i am not sure where laws should apply, but these appear to be important levers in the control of our society we should pay special attention to due to their ability to enable and empower the unscrupulous. If we dont have laws to govern these thing we must accept the responsibility of society to educate everyone to a high standard (as an independent thinker, more than a rule follower) to mitigate the severe risk in this area.
