There might be deeper trade concerns underlying the change in Delhi's stance, I do not think bureaucrats in the Indian government ever really created about privacy - its a convenient Casus Belli.

India mostly allowed free access to US tech companies for a while.

In exchange tech companies created a lot of middle class jobs in many indian cities.

But more importantly there seemed to an unwritten trade deal involving immigration.

Ever since Trump made his hardline immigration stance actionable, Indian consulting companies have taken a beating.

India's main dollar income source has been Indian working abroad.

It was an win win for US multi nationals, they got access to a large and growing market and also had access to cheap skilled labour.

It was also an win win for the upper middle class ( who really control the conversations ) in india, since they got access to US technology, better paid domestic software jobs and send their kids to the US.

In my own reading on India. They will crush any foreign company that tries to gain a monopoly market share - they did it with middle eastern telecom operators, and they will do it with US tech companies when its convenient. They rather their own billionaires have the monopoly.

There is nothing anybody else can do about it, since they have the numbers. So its really risky to invest large amount of capital in India, even if the average Indian is really thirty for capital and investment.

But I have noticed the average capitalist falls for India's trap time and again. I think it has to do with returns, if India was offering 20% RoR and companies were getting 2% RoR then as a CEO / manager I had to change my asset allocation regardless of future political risks involved.
I think people should stop using their personal experiences to support an argument that requires data on a much larger scale.

For example, OC claims there has been an alarming rise in degradation of public infrastructure in the US. Does the hard data really support this? If so, I'd love to see it (seriously). Observations from personal travel are virtually meaningless in this context.

Patents are business assets that can be very important for valuation during exits or funding rounds.

In most cases, due diligence auditors are going to want to see a company's patent portfolio. A bad or weak portfolio may not tank the deal, but it certainly impacts valuation.

I have seen this first hand, if BigCo is choosing between two or more companies to acquire, they are more likely to select the one with the stronger patent portfolio.

edit-to-add: trademarks are very important too -- and often overlooked by startups until it is too late. Trademark trolls are real too.
The man dying from preventable illness really should feel mighty grateful he lives in a country where he has the right to buy a gun with all that money he doesn't have.

Humans are infinitely capable of inflicting and causing misery. Just because some are more miserable than others doesn't make some not miserable. And we are all only unto ourselves - I cannot do anything to solve the suffering of billions abroad, my influence is functionally limited to who I vote into office that has macroeconomically influential power.

And I'll keep doing my best to try getting those elected into such positions of power, using the power I have, that would work to reduce misery everywhere when they are able, but each of us is only one person usually with only the capacity to influence those immediately around us. We cannot all be changing the world at once.

The Grave Threats of White Supremacy and Far-Right Extremism
I always enjoy reading about this kind of thing. I don't know what's the novel aspect of this patent though — the idea of using multiple overlapping projectors so that the display can be farther from the eye and still paint the full retina through the pupil? Something else?
That’s the tail wagging the dog. People point to restrictions on individuals, like preventing people from copying songs for friends, but the dog here is business models like Youtube’s or Huawei’s built on free riding. The human rights angle doesn’t have the same weight when you’re talking about profit-seeking business practices.
You've already done some things to reduce it; for instance, by not greying out your own comments when you've been downvoted. Since comment scores have lots of jitter, you could also smooth out the displayed score, or delay updates. There's almost no time-value to comment scores, but I'd bet most of the pain in a downvote is confined to ~15 minutes from the posting of the comment.

> How much would insurance cost me per month in the US to make me covered so that I never had to worry about not being able to afford medications or a surgury?

It’s not the right question. The reality is that you’d never be free from worry due to insurer denials, changes to laws that may affect your coverage, provider network status changes and rate increases, job loss, employer changing insurers, etc.

There is no end to your risk in the long run, even when you have “good insurance” at a particular point in time.

I don't see how this could be a symptom of Fargate as such, but rather of ECS. I mean, all Fargate does is add management features to the VMs running the containers. So if there's a problem with the runtime behavior of the containers, it seems like that would be something in the ECS infrastructure.
One way to show the difference would be to sort one of the graphs - though it would mix up the years.
What is or is not OOP is actually fuzzy. When it boils down to it erlang's actor model is basically an implementation of smalltalk objects (but don't tell joe Armstrong that). Elixir's module/struct/protocol looks awfully like OO in the post bjarne soustrop era.

Conversely, python's objects feel anti-object since you're passing self all the time (aka dot notation is a weaksauce syntactic sugar)... You could easily model this behavior if you really wanted in Julia, for example, with a custom operator (not that you should)

function Base.^(o <: Object, fn)
(a...) -> fn(o, a...)

I tend to think of these services as fulfilling different use cases.

For Fargate, the ideal scenario in my workloads is async background processing. Add tasks to SQS, Fargate pulls tasks off and does the job. Elastically scales up or down and lots of flexibility on machine specs. Ok with some failure rate.

For AWS Lambda, recently I like the combo of adding a Cloudflare worker in front and using it as an API gateway. More flexibility on routing, faster performance, and reverse proxy for free which can be good for SEO. And you get all the goodies of Cloudflare like DDOS protection and CDN.

I don't keep up with the home price trends, but I bought a 2 bedroom condo on the peninsula within walking distance of Caltrain for less than any one bedroom I could find in SF.

Median price doesn't matter as much as the point-in-time price for what the homebuyer is looking for. A 3 bedroom house in Palo Alto can distort the price curve when all you want is a small condo in Burlingame.

They encourage patent owners to abandon patents earlier than their maximum term (20 years after filing) if they don't want them any more.
Humans (and other organisms in general) have a rather wide range of tolerance to such things, and it's the reason why an "LD50" exists. Not everyone who received the same dose will react with the same severity. Hence you will hear about people who have smoked a pack a day yet lived into their 90s without cancer, asbestos workers without lung problems, etc. What is responsible for this "robustness" is an interesting question to research itself.

That said, this guy happened to be particularly well-suited to his job.
The Julia tooling is not currently designed for repeatedly creating new REPL/interpreter instances to quickly solve one small problem.

What it excels at is rapidly solving the same problem many times within one REPL/interpreter (since after the first time the code will be compiled), or for longer computations where the overhead of the initial compilation does not matter.

It would be great if it could also get fast at the use case you are interested in, but this isn’t currently what it excels at.
“Days”?
All fair enough but not particularly relevant here (in the context of "why Swift"). For doing numeric work in a language actually defined for that purpose, you will have proper 2D (and hopefully n-D) arrays, and hopefully slicing operations on them. So you'll never do this.

In this context doing 2D indexing in 1D arrays is a code smell. It does come up in the case of writing libraries for general purpose language with poor support for numerics and linear algebra, but then you should be abstracting this away from your callers.

> - Lack of support for OOP. And no, purely functional programming is not the best way to code all projects.

Julia doesn't rely on functional programming and there are also structs and operator overloading. What feature do you think is missing specifically?

> Dynamic typing.

Julia is not dynamically typed, though if you write a type unstable function, you will get back an Any type.

- Module system doesn't seem to be design well.

What specifically is problematic?
You could call it a "self-timed photo". But "selfie" is the current slang, and a lot shorter. It's the same concept as taking a family photo including yourself.

Illumination of the "elephant's foot" seems to mainly come from just left of the camera, given its shadow on the background. So he probably stood there for a while, panning over it with his flashlight. And then he walked over, and stood next to it. But he was a little careless with the flashlight, and hit the camera some.

Also, the right side of the "elephant's foot" does seem to be flaming.
I've found rats living inside the CNC machines at my work. Under the rail covers at the very front just past the sensor that stops the machine from travelling further. There's a tiny hole underneath the rails that would have been the only way in. I also found them living inside another machine at work. The only way to access where they were living in that one would have been to crawl up the drain pipe and squeeze under the tiny gap between the cover. I also found one dead between two slabs of stone. No idea how it got there

My house however lacks rats. We've had an ongoing competition between the two cats. They're pretty evenly matched at this point for rats and mice caught.
I'd never heard of this publication until a few days ago when one of the editors was on Twitter saying that "more money" doesn't help people. (She's talking about the poor, of course.) Her evidence? She "knows people" who go on multi-day benders after getting a paycheck, therefore no one needs any more money than they are already getting.

Seems like Quillette is garbage.

Isn't that what Maher was saying though? An investment in a small town in the middle of nowhere to bring those places into the "party". The way Wal-mart did with Bentonville AK, or SC Johnson in Racine WI. Those companies have changed those regions for generations.

People here are saying you can't get programmers to move to Nebraska, but I don't buy that argument. Wal-mart and SC Johnson have attracted talented business people to Arkansas and Wisconsin. Sure, some won't want to go, but eager millenials who can't afford a home in Hawaii, Seattle, or Brooklyn will go.

“Despite having the same size mirror as the surprisingly reliable Hubble Space Telescope, clocking in at 2.4 meters across, this puppy will pack a punch with a gigantic 300 megapixel camera, enabling it to snap a single image with an area a hundred times greater than the Hubble.”

Sounds like we need to retrofit the camera on the Hubble.

As Hubble nears its EOL, maybe some crazy billionaire will come up with a plan to keep it around for another 25 years.
It's hard to say anything without comparing the source code. I don't see a github reference, so I don't know if it is available.

I know his pain of rust's type inference gone insane. When things get too strange, I got in the habit of partially constraining the inferred type - you don't have to specify the full type BTW, only the part you want to constrain. Also, I'm playing with intellij which shows the inferred type in the code while you type, very nice.

OTOH, his workflow seems to demonstrate why C doesn't cut it: He spends an important amount of time to debug trough it. He is carefull and still valgrind finds errors. Trying to handle all errors in rust is too much of a burden, which probably means a lot of C errors go unhandled.

These things indicate incomplete understanding of what the C code is actually doing (instead of what it is supposed to do). Now I get the impression he is a more than capable enough developer. And still a simple but not trivial task of < 1kloc contains these kinds of errors. Do you want to trust the stability and security of your networking to this C code?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not hacking on the guy. He could be me, as I have comparable experiences in C and in rust as he describes. But the truth is, I wrote tons of bugs in C and found even more in other people's C code.

Rust takes more thinking things through. It feels slower writing the code. You'll spend a lot of time waiting on the compiler while it does it utter best to hate you and shred your work to pieces. You can't quick and dirty hack trough a job like you do in C. But in the end, the rust result is a lot more trustworthy, and that aspect alone gains you a lot of time lost on troubleshooting all kinds of weird crashes.
Yes. The issue was that the OP used this phrase which is a great exaggeration

> Even life at the lowest rungs of US culture have it way better than most in a third world country

I agree that some portion of my country is living in bad conditions. But majority are not and nobody is going to trade their spot for the lowest rungs of US culture. Don't get me wrong. I have been to US as well. I would probably trade my place with a person living in a good neighbourhoodn with his own house in California if I was offered Greencard and a job with good salary. But lowest rungs of US culture? Defintely not.
> there's this tidyverse, and you can write good, reliable, production-grade code without using a single function from the base library

A different take on the subject (https://r4stats.com/2017/03/23/the-tidyverse-curse/):

> On the other hand side – I have met a guy using R in production. And he told me that he needs code that stayed the same for 5+ years. That is why he does not use dplyr or any tidyverse, it is still changing too much.
GP wrote (emphasis mine) 'For "2D indexing" into a 1D array'. I presume it's some graphics-related optimization or some pointer arithmetics-related work, but I'd also be curious about some concrete use-cases too.
That was fine back in the day when there was a correlation between engine size and performance.

Since they started strapping turbochargers to everything down to 1.0l, the engine size comparison has become less important. If anything my 3.0l car is seen as a negative because of the higher fuel consumption.

The manufacturers are just trying to walk a fine line.
That's a meaningless hypothetical. No Americans are dying to defend Eastern Europe. History shows us that treaties are easily discarded in the face of actual war with another great power. But the value of NATO for the US right now is not hypothetical.

You don't buy billion dollar submarines because of NATO either. When the DoD talks about preparing for near-peer adversaries, Russia is not the primary concern. Do you really think we would stop spending massive amounts of money on military technology development if NATO didn't exist?
Usually when I'm confronted with such conundrums it's a signal to me that I'm thinking about the problem too narrowly. Surely being at the table, unless you are the one making decisions, is lending yourself to someone else's cause. If you weren't a yes man one way or another you'd probably be thrown off the team anyway and replaced by another yes man. Maybe you get to sway them towards competency but you aren't changing their end goal.

I agree with everything except the projects. It is true that Google Amazon and Facebook have projects that are exclusive. But there are lots of other interesting and widely used projects out there. Redis, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Rust, Firefox, Python, VueJS, Linux, Apache Hive, Hadoop, etc. If you care about projects that involve the largest number of servers, you need to work for one of those companies. But if you care about your code being used by a huge number of people, there are lots of other interesting things out there.

America's debt is way different than the debt of a person in all honesty. One of what I believe to be the quintessential reasons: the US Dollar is secure, and necessary for the world currently.

Meaning the US government has not halted or suspended trading of the dollar-p ever. The US has, by all reasonable measures, paid back its debt on-time. If an entity has multiple billions, or even hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions of dollars to protect: where do you put your money that is equally safe? No where.

It's a good thing because it's secure. Because it pushes the world forward.

Devv.jobs Goes Open Source
> Meltdown/Spectre turned out not to be a reason big enough to upgrade from Sandy/Ivy Bridge, so they had to find another way to "discontinue" current users.

I sit beside the author of the Iris driver and work on the same team at Intel. The reasoning for only supporting BDW+ has absolutely nothing to do with spectre/meltdown or trying to force people to upgrade their hardware. Such a statement really indicates that you're not familiar with the people on Intel's Mesa team.

FYI the reasoning for only supporting BDW+ is that BDW+ supports 48-bit addressing which allows the CPU and GPU to share addresses trivially. This means no relocations are required and that's a great driver simplification and performance improvement.

BDW+ also supports executing all shader stages in the "scalar" (vs the vec4) mode, which allows much better opportunity for shader compiler optimization, which is the area I spend most of my time.

This is more a basic result of just not having control of the server side stack. No amount of regulation is going to fix that.

If a government needs basic infrastructure like email, just do it in house. It isn't that hard.
