I have to disagree with the author on the security and change management. I work at an IBM iseries AS/400 shop. Our IT department does follow the normal protocol on the mainframe systems as well as our Windows and Linux systems, however if you have the elevated credentials on the AS/400, you can do anything such as install software or make configuration changes. In fact the problem with the iseries is that in order to perform certain essential system maintenance procedures, you need to have the equivalent of an Windows Enterprise admin logon rights.
Yes, we do have log files for all changes and go through the Sox compliance audits. As well as a ITIL change process, however the actual user rights could be improved by reducing the super admin rights for our operations team.

Everything I used to buy the BTC was anonymized (cash deposit, throwaway email address). I have all my MtGox login information but can't access the email address I used to verify anything. Any way I can still file a claim?
Yeah, diesel cars and trucks are a menace. I remember getting black soot in my nose in London.
Likewise in Seattle they built i5 straight though the city cutting it in half.

Not denying that, but this could be reversed and would still make sense: Google has long held the stance that anything that's good for Google is good for the web.
I’ve been hand brewing for nearly a decade. I use an Aeropress when I’m in a hurry, and a Kalita Wave or a Chemex when I’m not. The brewing method is only one variable. Freshness of beans and the quality of the grind are another.
"Students attending schools located near and downwind from busy highways had lower rates of academic performance, higher absenteeism and higher rates of disciplinary problems than those attending less polluted schools."

Is it because of the pollution or because kids who live near highways come from poorer socio-economic environments? Kids who grow up in poor rural areas nowhere near cars also have performance and behavioral problems.

Also, some of the top schools in the NYC metro area are situated near highways or high traffic areas. Why aren't these kids affected as negatively? Could it be many of them come from higher socio-economic situations?

Finally, isn't it a bit disingenous to say poor kids pay for it when they don't pay taxes. Also, the article claims these kids receive free lunches, so most likely they parents don't make enough money to pay much in taxes. So the "wealthy" who pay taxes are already paying for the poor kids, their school and their air filtration system are already paying taxes to clean up the pollution. So they already paid, what more do they have to pay for?

Ideally, it would be great if every kid had a school in a middle of prisinte woods without any pollution, but then people would complain about the destruction of pristine nature.
There isn't such thing as "safe C" :) Any pointer passed in can be garbage with unintended consequences. Surely, there are some bits of Rust that are required for the safe operation over wgpu-native, such as taking an address of a borrowed struct. What this quote is trying to convey is that we don't rely on super strong types for safety, for example, like Vulkano [1] does. We can expose Rust API that borrows command buffers and resources where they are used and does the move semantics, and at the same time we can expose Rust API that implements Copy for all the objects, and it's still going to be fine, because the C layer doesn't rely on a lot of constraints from above.

No, you switch to their products because you agree with their goals and want to support the cause. The benefits are a bonus.
I hate to say this, but we brought this on ourselves. It's just one aspect of the decline of America.

At one time, we could identify with, "Land of the free, home of the brave." I remember my Grandpa, saying that to me, and then telling me, "So kid, stay free, and be brave about it. I did my best, and when you grow up, do yours, right? You're an American." Of course, I'm like 10 and know nothing of the world, but I honest felt like I was part of a greater thing, that I was now going to be following in the footsteps of Grandpa.

Then I grow up, and America slowly gives away her freedoms. Not just personal freedom, but the freedom to excel. The middle class slowly fades, education becomes prohibitively expensive. Upward mobility wanes.

Then 911 happens and America loses it's shit. We're shown to just be a bunch of pansies. We react by becoming a (worse) global bully, frightened and trying to control the uncontrollable. And we trade freedom for perceived safety. Ever think the Patriot Act will be allowed to expire?

Then of course we get the perfect to represent the coward bully that is now all of us.

And oh boy do we like our guns and drugs. Now that's the new America. That's our refuge. More guns, and more drugs. We suck down so many drugs that the rest of the world works really hard to keep us supplied. We work hard to keep us supplied (Afghanistan).

And then lastly, we isolate ourselves, unable to make friends, interacting over the internet instead of in person. We shape our world and ideas with constant confirmation bias. We work hard to reinforce our prejudices. Nation of tribal haters. The charade of Democrat and Republican and Ford vs. Chevy and Cowboys vs Patriots. Choose a side, get angry, espouse.

So what's left in an America like that for a man? Sure, it affects women to, much the same, but as a man I particularly feel it. This ain't my America, the one I read about from our past. It's seriously depressing.

This might seem like pining for the old days. "Things are better than ever now!" you say. So, really? Why are people opting out in record numbers then?
The conservationists are the ones carrying out the artificial inseminations. The drones are only used to ferry the semen from one island to the other.

The article doesn't clarify why they are using the drones for transportation but it is probably cheaper and/or faster than doing it the old-fashioned way.
Have you worked in one (or more than one) and observed it's high-level decision making? It's about money and nothing else. This is not unique or special and the only way you'll ever truly believe it is any different is if you make the grandly naive mistake of listening to the marketing department (either internal or external).
I'm still awaiting official TRIM support for SSDs. Last I checked, that was still a work in progress but coming close to release.

Also along that line, there's also work going on to make L2ARC persistent across reboots (which would be wonderful for starting up VMs hosted on zvols).
There are far more diesel passenger cars in the UK than in the US. Diesel is generally far worse for particulate emissions.
I suffer from similar issues. Something that really works against me in the standard coding interviews. Some ways I try to mitigate some of those issues at work are:
1) Peer/senior code reviews. I try and get code reviews done by other folks. This helps with identifying something easy that I may be missing. Usually, once I already have a solution to a problem, I find it hard to revisit it without that solution overwhelming my approach, unless a bit of time has passed. Getting some fresh eyes to look at it helps. Also, explaining the solution to someone else often helps me identify issues with my solution during the process of explaining it to someone else itsel.

2) Practice and experience. I think for the most part intuition is simply the result of experience and practice.

3) Learning different programming paradigms. Something that has helped me more than anything else I think is learning programming languages that cover different paradigms. I’ve never coded anything useful in Haskell, but just the process of solving basic programming problems in Haskell, with its strong functional approach, helps me identify issues with the proceduaral/OOP code which I do write to solve useful problems. I think it allows me to approach each problem from multiple perspectives so even if I don’t have certain Haskell features available to me, it makes it easier to recognize that this may be an issue I need to address in my OOP code (for example, the Haskell compiler when pattern matching requires all possibilities to be addressed. Awareness of this fact means that anytime I’m writing conditionals checking the input I’m much more aware of the fact that I need to also handle the else condition, something that most non-functional programming languages don’t hsually require in their conditional constructs).

4) Related to #3m opting for better solutions wherever possible. I always try and opt for expressions over statements. I try to avoid state change as much as possible. I try and minimize side effects in functions, and try to constrain them in specific areas of code, etc.

5) Formal CS study. I don’t have a CS background, but studying formal CS in my free time has helped a lot. Getting better at data structures, algorithms, formal verification, etc, has helped develop my intuitions even if I don’t sctually use those data structures and formal verification methods in practice.
It's super scary, especially because ForeFlight has no realistic competition.

I've had this off-again, on-again plan (more like dream) to write an open-source ForeFlight clone, as I used to write aviation mapping software for a living and could probably throw something passable together. But the application's sheer quantity of high quality features makes the project super-daunting. It's unrealistic to believe that a group of amateurs without a budget could even come close to replicating it.
TIL if I pay taxes it's ok for me to poison kids going to school
That isn't refuting my statement. Road transport includes all vehicles on the road, and my statement is that trucks are by far the largest source of particulate matter on the road. The standards on trucks (and buses) are exponentially worse than passenger vehicles -- justified by the notion that they're doing something more worthwhile -- and many horribly polluting older models are grandfathered in. The average age of a passenger car on the road is much, much newer than the average age of a transport truck.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.est.8b01914

The crux of that is that particulate pollution had a low correlation with passenger car volume, and a high correlation with trucks. Indeed, they found low utilization trucking routes had worse pollution than the busiest highway in North America (which would have been much more pronounced if the latter didn't also have significant truck volume).

Though it is worth noting that there are a number of worse sources of particulate pollution. Wood burning fires, for instance, or home gardening equipment with virtually no pollution control.
This decreases density further, making greater travel distances.
I stopped using it once my mom wanted to be my friend on FB. Now both my parents use it all the time and are always wondering why I'm not on it.
Twitter culture is an oxymoron. There is no culture, it’s just bots written by white dudes talking to other bots written by white dudes some of which are pretending to be not white dudes.

Every political operative/hack has at least 5 sock puppets so they can pretend to have public support. Pretty much the moment I hear “twitter” in a sentence I just laugh because the whole thing is a giant joke.
Databases of journalists have slightly different optics when the president has called for opening libel laws, encouraged violence against the press at his rallies, and has labeled journalists the "enemy of the people".
Super superficial.

I'm working since some months in a project where code review is a must and something that I noted is how slow we get to move forward and the amount of conflicts between colleagues. Mainly because:

a) Sometimes the reviewer need some time to react (read the comments from the author, accept or provide some alternative for what is being proposed)

b) Sometimes, some reviewers are just in a bad mood or lazy and limit their review to questions like "why you did that?", which reading not just the diff but the whole method, or the test suite or testing in the REPL, would give him the answer. Code review is more than "read the diff"

c) People forget to do not bring emotion to the code review. Sometimes the wrong emoticon in the wrong place can lead to some heated and unnecessary discussions.

d) The reviewer do not prepare himself to the review (read assigned bugs, cards, etc), just open the diff and start to stateless review the code. Sometimes the scope from the review is limited and you cannot change everything that was necessary (specially true for back-porting or security issues)

e) Pull request get blocked: Reviewer and Author do not agree, even if test suite is completely green. Maybe because Nitpick + ego. Maybe because of point b and c, both do not agree and some how the issue have to be escalated.

So even if I agree that code review must happen, what I experiencing now, it makes us extremely slow and dragging the team spirit down.
I think a lot of which direction a person goes when faced with adversity has to do with their upbringing. I feel that, had she been left in Vietnam in an orphanage, it may have been a much different story with regard to her outlook.
Theoretical performance because on a system with an SSD you don't notice any difference at all with or without LUKS encryption.
It shows a photo. And used that as the basis for the claim. But the article I linked which is long and gives a lot of the story of the school states a number of times it was created in the 1980s. I don’t know if it was repurposed from an old closed building or school or what.

Whether it was there first or not seems irrelevant anyway. If we care about the health of the students the whole school should be moved (unless you think we can move the freeway instead).
Even if Hosting many terabytes of data and paying for thousands of terabytes of downloads worldwide was free, people aren’t. It takes people to build and maintain hundreds of store fronts, localize them in dozens of languages, run marketing programs, provide support, developer tools, etc, etc, etc.
I would say that, regardless of whether the outcome is right or wrong, we know that the default is incredibly powerful, so it's disingenuous to suggest that changing it makes no difference. Which was the original point as I understood it.

Ha! I started to suggest "or they're using small copper and cooling the heck out of it," but that would waste energy so I assumed they wouldn't do it. Wrong, apparently.
It is a voxel editor. Except the voxel is represented by one pixel while in software like Magica the voxel is a 3d cube. The display is achieved by sprite stacking which means layering flat images on top of each other to give a 3d illusion. It's less capable than any other 3d method but it can be used in a 2d engine with zero 3d knowledge.

> Heck they recently started charging for the Java runtime.

On the contrary, they've open sourced the entire JDK for the first time ever, and are now offering the same JDK either completely free or with paid support, rather than the mixed free/commercial JDK as before. (I work at Oracle on OpenJDK, but speak only for myself)
Some serious industries, banks, insurance companies, telco are using mainframes. I worked in one of that for a while and I learnt a lot. Besides, I don't think many people would prefer they bank accounts on the cloud ...
Saving water at home is nice but it's literally a drop in the bucket compared to the water wasted by inefficient agricultural practices. It won't make a difference one way or the other.
That's exactly what's going to happen. Humanity will not solve climate change until we're already suffering badly from its effects.
This is known as bikeshedding.

Something like turning off water is something anybody (also the campaign agency) can comprehend. Turning off water safes water, easy.

Now think about trying to reduce exhaust pollution, you can't see it, people don't know how much pollution is generated by a car, and most importantly: there is no easy solution to reduce it. Yes, you can ask people to leave their car at home and commute to work by bike, but that does not work for everybody and reduces comfort for most people.

The campaign agency could have done an awareness for exhaust pollution, but that would have been much harder to do, and probably they won't make much friends while doing so. Where as something easy as a water saving campaign will give that loads of goodwill.
It makes a difference. X86 decode is difficult. Trace cache helps decode, but with diminishing returns. As for consistency, it makes things difficult. Increases complexity of speculation and coherence.

But honestly, the way forward is quite obvious. Cores with self managed caches and ideally without coherence.
Yeah while pollution is no help clearly and lead poisoning is known for bad options it sounds like the mechanism for worse academic performance from power lines - lowered property values and the fact poorer kids tended to live in "undesirable" locations.
This isn't the AWS support forum, I'm afraid you've taken a wrong turn somewhere.
What about it? UBports is still under development, Canonical just bailed out because they wanted to cut their losses and jump for an IPO.
That's the whole point: it's not a realistic option because it ignores political reality.
Well every pandas operation returns a DataFrame so that’s pretty composable.

No doubt APL-likes are much nicer than pandas but in terms of operations, I belive they support the same operations.
Political choices matter.
> The standards on trucks (and buses) are exponentially worse than passenger vehicles

How can one group be 'exponentially worse' than just one other group? How can you see an exponential relationship between two data points? That doesn't make any sense. You'd need to be looking at a relationship between at least three data points to say it was exponential.
MOVE THE SCHOOL.

Everything sucks, there is serious injustice, and no foresight to building the highway.

Portland still needs the highway and the school. So just use the highway's powers to make room for a school.

If you don't have foresight, then at least make things right.
So at least one of your points seems to be a triviality after a basic Google search. 85% of vehicles on the road are single occupancy: www.thealternativedaily.com/why-ridesharing-matters

Your questions may be valid, but assuming there are not answers to those questions probably is not valid. I mean, it would not exactly shock me to learn that peak traffic is representative of most of the day, or that peak traffic is responsible for most of the pollution. It would also not shock me to learn that income distribution by neighborhood doesn't see much variance. I suspect if I looked this stuff up, like I did on single occupancy vehicles, I could cut your points down to nothing.
I've had my code reviewed face-to-face when I was just beginning my career, and I think that it has helped me learn much more than I would have otherwise. At least for someone who has never written production-ready code (first internship / first job etc), it is hard to understand why a particular piece of code is "bad design" even though it seems correct logically.
They did a good job for sure, functions the exact same on desktop as mobile now that I am back home. But I just want information in linear and boring manner.
In sensitive year for China, warnings against 'erroneous thoughts'
All two party competitive games become duopolies.
The unpredictable nature of school funding would then be a pretty big problem, and the results for students who choose wrong, have the schools in their neighborhood all but defunded / can't afford to commute to a better school would also be bad. It would basically be the existing school funding issues, on steroids.
This is cool. Would love to see it as a downloadable standalone app!
I think you can have different types of patience. Patience with getting something to work could be very different from the patience to build something correctly, which could be different from the patience to deal with people...

But I agree - you probably won't become a dev without having or learning some degree of patience.
You make a lot of points about Rust and mention Firefox in your conclusion, right after saying Firefox is by and large not Rust. I think your logical argument would be better served by using clear language and a single subject. After you have those two things you can think about coming up with examples.
I have two takeaways:

1) Traveling by private automobile has huge negative externalities.

2) Highways are usually built in economically depressed areas.
Yeah all of Huawei’s complaining is a joke. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re being strongly requested to push this line by Chinese intelligence.

If I am not doing business in China, Russia, Vietnam, or South America the first thing I do in any environment is block those countries and LACNIC. Instantly my production security alerts drop by 2/3 and I get to sleep at night.
How does Geekbench systematically favor iOS?
Of course, the officers of public companies try to do what’s best for shareholders. But here’s a different take on it by Tim Cook five years ago [1] (interpret it however you’d like):

> "When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind," he said, "I don't consider the bloody ROI." He said that the same thing about environmental issues, worker safety, and other areas where Apple is a leader.

> …

> He didn't stop there, however, as he looked directly at the NCPPR representative and said, "If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock."

Yeah, I've seen it both ways. Some people have learned to bottle up their negative childhoods, leading to various outward behavioral clues, while others seem like they were able to get past it somehow and live truly without that baggage holding them back.
