Those are horrible options, worse than all three alternatives discussed (bird, aerial, satellite).

Detail: That’s not specific enough. It could refer to everything and anything.

Image and Photo: People do not really use these words to refer to aerial and satellite photography. People might think it’s some kind of photo-mode (referring to actual photos that are somehow placed on the map).

Obviously you would have to test this to be really sure that someone has a problem with these – but to me their problematic nature seems quite obvious.

Realistically it would, however, not really be realistic to test (all) changes like these … so you have to trust me that your intuition in this case is horrible.

I mean, even if you test it the effect of anything you suggested would probably be small – but to me choices like those are what make software really and truly awful.

> Are you saying Indians chose to be "customers" of the British?

No.

India has a large domestic demand but it would be awful to allow non rupee denominated assets to supply that demand.

Imagine tomorrow India got rid of its strong tariff regime.

India's inflation is under control through making it punitive to buy foreign goods which India has a strong demand for.

The idea ever since Gandhi is to use domestic capabilities to provide services India demands. Domestic tariffs are also a form of coercion - but in this case it serves India's national interest.

With the Brits the main source of oppression was through preferential trade that tilted everything in their favour - either through hard power of soft ( like they still do today ).

The overwhelming majority of the tax deals were/are available to other employers in the state as well. IIRC, only the land/building deal was specific and a version of that is likely to be available to whomever decides to build on the site.

Usability errors/barriers like this on high-profile sites have caused millions in lost-revenue.

Many people just abandon their intended action when simple usability things are not right because your sales experience is sorta a "first impressions" thing (bit of a generalization but yea).
>Yes, by one letter. Out of 6. "using" is 16% shorter than "import". And it uses better keyboard alternation (the first 4 letters of `import` are on the right side of a qwerty keyboard, the last 2 on the other, for using the only "i" and "n" are consecutive letters on the same half of the keyboard).

Counterpoint: I am going to attempt an autocomplete after two characters by pressing tab. Typing 'us' leaves my left hand, the tab hand, as the last used hand before the tab. This prevents me from buffering the tab by moving my hand into position while typing the first two characters. 'im' is typed very easily with my right hand and while I'm typing that, my left hand is free to move into position over the tab key.
It’s nice to see that the donated NRO satellite buses found a use i remember when they were initially donated everyone cried that NASA didn’t had the budget to make any use of them.

I wonder what else do they have lying around, since it’s clear that what they have now is more advanced than what they’ve donated.

I also wonder with the advancement in SAR technology how much longer would optical recon sattlites would even be used for because as long as the NRO still uses optical sattlites we have some sort of economy of scale that can be leveraged for cheaper space based telescopes.

There are externalities, though, to running a hotel, which is why we have taxes and rules to mitigate those things. These people are trying to bypass these mitigations, and push the externalities back on the populace. That is not ok.

Just saw your response. Not sure if you'll get mine, but-

>Maybe more people might experiment and pick up a habit when it's legal

This x1million, basically. As mentioned in the 'different cultures enjoy getting high to various degrees' point that I was making- Americans show extremely high (ha ha) levels of interest in illegal drug usage. If hard drugs were openly available in retail stores, casual experimentation would absolutely skyrocket. (Especially in depleted Rust Belt cities, rural areas, etc.) There might or might not be a reduction in the number of ODs. But it seems to me there would be a massive increase in the number of new addicts from the extreme ease of experimentation.

Decriminalization is a different story, I'd be more open to outright decrim for small amounts of any hard drug
So why would criticisms against Israel always require careful and complicated disclaimers (which might still not be enough to save you from being immediately labeled as "anti-Semite", while many other totally uninformed nonsense float freely on Twitter? What he said on Twitter was definitely largely reasonable and anti-Semitism is being branded about freely, being institutionalized as a universal tool, to silence any critics of Israel.
I remember Recruit developed one of Nintendo's first online platforms, Randnet [1]. After trying to pioneer in this space on each of their early consoles, only to see it fail to gain traction with their customers, Nintendo let online gameplay and networking take a back seat. Microsoft and Sony (and Sega) jumped on board that train with the very next generation of consoles and became leaders in online console gaming.

Ah the virtuous cycle of creativity and experimentation.
Sure, the people renting from him loved it; the neighbors, however, had to suffer. The reason we have hotel regulations is to help mitigate the externalities that hotel operations put on the nearby community. This guy was bypassing all of those.

There are more people involved in the transaction than just the renter and the rentee.

The Power of Bad Ideas
I was wondering how they'd specify a language with semantic indents in an EBNF grammar. Apparently they don't do that at all - they seem to use "virtual" INDENT and DEDENT tokens that act like brackets. I suppose there is an instruction written in prose somewhere how to convert the actual python into the python-with-invisible-brackets that is defined here.

Very clever!
$500mm was specific to Amazon in terms of a land grant and property rights.

That site is currently a plastic factory next to a Superfund site and the infamous Queensbridge projects though. It's likely the cit/state would make the same concessions to anyone that could place clean high income jobs in the area.
Totally my bad. I used the wrong word rentable, whereas I meant to write short-term rentals.

For example, if I own a single-family home, my ability to rent it out is restricted by zoning rules. I would have to look up the Certificate of Occupancy and potentially make changes if I intended to rent my place out. It could even mean involving an architect because the building would have to meet the structural requirements for a rooming house. There are lots of redtapes.
Well the laws should be applied equally to everyone, including tax laws. That's a pretty simple principle. If you're going to make an exception, you need to reassure people that rule of law is still a thing and you're not just letting a company buy a different set of laws for themselves, which is kinda what this looks like.
A temporary escape from what you might have been a little burnt out from could be nice. Wanting to turn that into a new permanent new profession would be quite ridiculous.

you're suggesting that the handout was baked in from the get go because the HQ was in Queens, and Amazon being Amazon had nothing to do with it?

Mostly, yes. About $2.5 billion of the tax benefits were "as of right", meaning they're available to any company that fulfills certain requirements. There was also a separate Amazon-specific $500 million grant to assist with construction. More details at http://www.gothamgazette.com/state/8110-a-closer-look-at-the...

If that's the case, the media have done a terrible job reporting this.

I'd add some caveats to GP's comment, but I think it's mostly spot on.

>"Rust or Go or C++?"

Does one of these make memory problems easier to avoid?

>"Python or Ruby?"

One of these prioritises having a single way to do most tasks, while the other prioritises programmer expressiveness (simple example: "unless" is absent in Python). Thus one is easier to onboard newbies with and have them relatively quickly be able to read the code in their ecosystem, while the other allows skilled programmers to convey semantics more efficiently.

I'll admit being mostly ignorant about the differences between Java and C#, but at least in general the languages you contrasted do make different things easier.

Edit: grammar.

The Progressive Case for Cashless Stores
What? Yes TX has higher property taxes as % property value than CA but, again, if you’re buying a 300k place in Austin your annual property taxes are going to be <<< than the CA property taxes you pay on a typical 1.5m place + income tax in CA.

And because TX does not have income tax it also means for a 300k place your state and local taxes won’t hit the $10k limit for fed deductions which you will easily hit if you earn and have property in CA.
> an argument always has to be from aesthetics, which can include simplicity and "uglyness", but these aren't totally individual (you can get 99/100 people to agree on which of two schemes is "simpler").

Putting aside the implicit claim that something as subjective as aesthetics will be agreeable by 99% of the population...is 0-based indexing simpler? Why?

Your next example is...a little all over the place mathematically, if I’m being honest. I’m having trouble following it. But let me try...

So you’re saying I have a 1-dimensional, ordered set S, whose elements are real numbers. It can’t be an interval, because S needs to be discrete for this to be possible computationally or even theoretically (S is uncountable if its continuous, and thus cannot be indexed). It needs to have an order to have a sense of position in the first place, so map S to the natural numbers in whatever way you choose.

Now choose an element s in S. You want me to pick the first n elements from s that are “next”, for whatever your order relation is. We’ll call that relation <. In that case I would respond by saying, “Let s be an element of S, and choose an n-tuple N of elements

(x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6) in *S*

such that s < x_1 < x_2 < x_3 < x_4 < x_5 < x_6, and there exists no element k of S such that k in S, s < k < x_6, k not in N.

Haven’t I accomplished your exercise just fine without using 0 indexing? If I were programming this, I could index the n-tuple starting with x_0 or x_1. I don’t understand the issue - what are you trying to convey here? Personally, I’d program this by defining S to be my vector or list or whatever, k to be the index of s in S, then defining my n-tuple with:

N = []
for (i = 1, i <= n, i++):
N.append(S[k + i])

I feel as though you only believe your example is compelling because you’re overlapping the origin with the initial index. But when you abstract your problem to the general case (as I did), then it doesn’t really seem to matter much. Your example is actually kind of a narrow edge case.

> And if a type system can not guard against run-time errors, what’s the merit of having one?

The type annotations would document the programmer's assumptions and lead to fail-fast behavior. In the presented use case, it would be immediately clear from the run-time type error that the input data isn't in the expected format (as opposed to a typing bug somewhere else in the program).

Don't think that makes much sense. Some jobs requiring long hours do of course pay more partly due to that, e.g. lawyers and investment bankers. But if you ask construction workers whether they'd like to stop their job and have a higher-paying office job, the vast majority would say it's a no-brainer. Most jobs pay more because they are harder to carry out, not because they are more of a torture. Simple market mechanisms.
They will just get the exemptions from the next highest bidder in the list.

I Love That the Latest “Welcome to Rails” Image Is More Inclusive
Unless I misread the article, but the writer makes a claim of having to support 100 req/sec with about 50 instances. "For Fargate, this meant deploying 50 instances of my container with pretty beefy settings — 8 GB of memory and 4 full CPU units per container instance.". If the api service was just returning some data with a few manupilations, then that is quite inefficient. At NodeChef ( https://www.nodechef.com ), there are users running over 1000 req/sec with just around 12 containers each with 512 MB ram and 2 CPUs.
Not sure about this one, but in the Vietnam era, many anti-war activists were Soviet spies, or influenced by Soviet spies, or communists who have no direct connection to the Soviets but want to see communism takes over the world.
TensorFlow Federated: Machine Learning on Decentralized Data
This is an interesting concept. What comes to mind is the company Reviture. I'm not sure if they pay students to code I think they cover boarding and have an online platform to boot. But as far as Modern Labor goes it sounds like a nice idea but after looking at the comments and information I've gathered so far it seems the makings of Uber all over again.

In this case, I get the the sense that drivers(or paid programmer apprentices) are sold on the idea that they can make good side money whereas they're not factoring all the other expenses or finances that would come up front or even worse over time such as car maintenance, gas, tolls and etc. For the paid apprentice and everyone's living situation is different when you factor in location cost-of-living and etc.. to receive a set amount of $10k over the course of five months where it's being asked that you dedicate 40 to 60 hours a week for 5 straight months. You are essentially as the individual who signs up for this course committing to 800-1200 hours which also amounts to living off of roughly to $8 to $12.5 an hour just to learn to code.

Maybe if I was a high school student not looking to go straight into college yet or someone in somewhat desperate situation seeking a way out may consider this. I understand that Modern Labor is a company/business the word loses me is the commitment of taking 15% salary for two years straight or how to commit to work for the company if they match a competing offer.

This gives me the impression that the individual who signs up to be part of their program provides more value to Modern labor then they do for themselves. Kind of like Uber pays the driver, takes a % of gross revenue from the trips while they're being still funded by venture capitalists. Guess it's like how big Daddy Kane says, pimpin ain't easy..lol

Anyways, this may not be the best example but this is what comes to mind. Modern labor good luck to you guys if you guys becoming successful in this endeavor and perhaps some company will buy you guys out and in return we have a growing labor force the scale of uber where the promise is to take you from novice to master developer in 5 months where has a person who signs up for this program takes $10k up front but pays back 15% of their salary over two years or a maximum of $30k. Perhaps this is a small price to pay when it comes to doing business. Makes you wonder who's benefiting from from who. ️

The argument against giving racist shitheads a platform does involve namecalling, and I don’t much care.
Chrome offered to auto-fill his CC number that is stored with his expiry, name on card, and (maybe) payment address/zip... everything but the CVV, (card verification number, usually three digits).

Chrome is pretty clever these days with payment details and tries to help you keep a "wallet" so-to-speak which acts like an "autofill" feature. Do some searches around Web Payments, Payment Request API, W3C Payment Request, blah blah - let's just say it goes a lot deeper than basic autofill =)

Now for siphoning. That attack (as far as I know) wouldn't be allowed to happen. Chrome WILL NOT autofill your details or inject ANYTHING into the DOM until you've entered/verified your CVV. Due to security with how payments work there has to be some sort of a user interaction before any PAN is allowed to populate the DOM. This is to avoid his exact paranoia where a CC num gets entered automatically w/o a user's knowledge.

Since this is enforced by the browser I consider it to be pretty safe, and appreciate the feature in my day-to-day browsing activities =)

Back to the Cleave.js lib though - that thing is going to BARF on things like CC num autofill driven by browsers/etc. Trying to be super clever is just going to screw-up native browser capabilities.

I don't think feeling the job "isn't real" is the actual underlying reason you hate your job. Most likely you're a bit burnt out or having a mid-life symptom. By your definition is baking real, since it uses all sorts of processed agricultural products and sophisticated machinery? Maybe let's all go back to live in caves, make stone tools by hand and hunt animals? Programming is very "real" in that it powers up all the infrastructures that make the modern society run. Software developers are called "engineers" for a reason. I'm not sure there's much that can get more "real" than engineering. It certainly is much better than being a salesman or something if you want to look it this way.

If you are running a script over and over (or using small modules to do organize things) it will be very fast and easy to work with. The compilation is just for the first time a script is run, not every time.

It really isn't a barrier any more than, say, waiting for `library` commands in R.
