Why? The more equitable the tax code the more complex it becomes. And assuming you're aiming for the most fair system I don't understand only applying our computational resources to rendering superheroes and recommendation engines, when we could scale the tax code complexity (and fairness) relative to our compute resources.
That is precisely the conclusion the market has come to, and why they are having issues. Though their target audience is actually the professional working folk.. who don’t have the motivation and time to work on deadlines projects or the willpower to finish non deadlines projects and hw. Overall the business case seems difficult
>Education is not a one size fits all

I agree with this.

>The difficulty (proxied by the reputation of the school) of the same courses vary wildly and dramatically, as does workload, peer support, TA support, exams, and even the pace and how the final grade is curved.

This doesn't sound like education to me, but a system of schooling composed of these factors with varying weights of assumed importance that most people in a society choose/blindly accept to be the one and only equivalent to an education (and all the ills that come from this assumption).
1. With Netlify you don't need to install any command line tool. For non-technical users it's a must.

2. Netlify is a CDN, so "dragging and dropping" would be equivalent to setting up S3 + Cloudfront.

3. You have to create the bucket before running this command. With Netlify you just drag and drop and it takes a couple seconds (if the site is small enough to be built that fast).

4. Netlify is also able to run a build phase before deploying. With S3 you have to do it locally or setup a remote machine.
http://www.hypertable.org/ comes to mind. It's a BigTable implementation written in C++, it's fairly mature as well.

His experiences are very similar to yours. I want ask you about its advantages (if I may): Is it something about Aphantasia (absence of fantasy?) that could help with being better at HCI? Or, any other positives you see come out of it that helps you professionally?
I havent read the entire thing yet, but reading from "replacing fork" to the end it reads too much like embrace extend extinguish.

Direct3D 11.3 Functional Specification (2015)
Not exactly an alternative client scenario, but Blizzard successfully shutdown a US company that developed and sold World of Warcraft botting software.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDY_Industries,_LLC_v._Blizzar....

The gist of Blizzard’s argument was that the software was designed for the sole purpose of facilitating customer violations of their EULA causing monetary harm to Blizzard.

It's suggesting posix_spawn, which is standardized and has nothing to do with Microsoft.
You would need to prove that. And for all we know, he borrowed the account from a friend who didn't know he was using it to test the API.
It will not run Signal, unfortunately. There doesn't seem to be the resources or will to do a port yet.

Outline: https://outline.com/VU4Mcg
The article pointed out legitimate drawbacks related to the intersection of fork() and other features like posix threads.

The paper mentions the benefit of posix_spawn for the fork+exec use case.

I might've seen posix_spawn while skimming a manpage or browsing a change log but this is the first time that I'd actually learned about its purpose.

The article's conclusion isn't "and therefore Linux is bad" btw.
Reading between all the religious talk, I think he hits it straight on a number of interesting points and topics. This mindset of being a giver carries over into all relationships in life, and being generous and accepting of others has opened many doors for me as well. I also liked the discussion of boundaries with the music teacher. All valuable lessons.

It's easy to overlook some of this stuff when you're in the insane rat race that is Silicon Valley.

Moral of the story:

You're unlikely to lay on your deathbed and think "Holy fuck am I glad I screwed over the sucker who purchased my home, that was an awesome move to save a few grand on a few hundred grand by putting in shit quality carpet".
Expanding MS-DOS SZDD Archives on macOS
I think you're in a minority. Are there any 32-bit CPUs being produced for the mass market these days? Making a 64-bit only software is not only about wanting more than 4gb of ram; it's about debugging support, tooling, installation size and installation packages, etc. It's easier to distribute 64-bit only software than both 32-bit and 64-bit, and you can't distribute 32-bit only software because:

1. macOS will deprecate 32-bit completely soon,

2. Linux needs 32-bit libs installed on the system, and many people don't have them,

3. Windows has really good backward compatibility and still supports 32-bit. But it's the only system.

So, distributing a 64-bit-only software actually makes sense.
Ya, I'd say that case is quite a bit different due to the actively harmful effect it would have on other users.

Slack would also need to prove monetary harm. I can't imagine a more efficient client would hurt their service. Maybe just their pride.
But users want the per-second billing and fast cold start times too.

I understand this is kind of a hard CS problem and is basically rooted in needing to move a lot of data around very quickly, all while making the software low latency as well.

But solving these is kind of the point of a FaaS.

Otherwise we could just run containers on VMs and autoscale ourselves. With terrible cost and cold start times.

Maybe look at how Jelastic does it for a unique take on this. https://jelastic.com/public-cloud-pricing/

This is probably the model that would make users the happiest.

Having poked a bit at how Jelastic does it, it seems they drop a pool of users on a 32-core machine and load balance the users containers with live migration to less utilized machines.

Imagine GCP doing something similar. Drop a big pool of users onto 96 vCPU instances.
If an instance starts to get overutilized, live migrate some user containers to a new instance.

Same type of thinking that is probably behind AWS Lambda: how do you satisfy bursty workloads for a lot of users cost effectively? Pool the users. Assume they won't all burst at once.

That has got to be one of the biggest benefits to large public cloud computing.

Unfortunately I don’t have any deep insight on big PBS’s plans in that respect. I do know some major changes are coming to their OTT apps, but PBS has been tight lipped about it.

KIDS is funny, they are basically a (well staffed) separate entity and often test the waters of new/potential technologies for the whole org.

Fun fact: pbskids.org is a static site! I can’t remember what generator they use, but apparently the codebase is a bit of a beast with all the interactive games.
Fork has really weird semantics, and a lot of fun gotchas around managing resources. Good riddance?
Care to explain why this would give someone kidney stones? I've been on a variation of the 5-2 diet (eat 5 days a week, fast 2 days a week) for about 7 years. I've had kidney stones once in my life but it was years before I ever tried fasting/keto/5-2.
> Just as a programming course
would not today begin with goto, we suggest teaching either
posix_spawn() or CreateProcess(), and then introducing
fork as a special case with its historic context (§2).

Or CreateProcess(), which has a lot to do with microsoft.
It's a common misconception that fonts are only the implementation of typefaces on computers. The specific weights and sizes of glyphs that comprise a font apply both to traditional typesetting and in its digital form.

A font file is more akin to a photograph than to the environment of which the photo is taken, so it's not clear why the morality of licensing photos and fonts would apply any differently.
> If complicated taxes are a Republican anti-tax strategy...

Republicans only last year substantially simplified tax filing.
> Maybe it would be within range of a decent crowdsourcing campaign to raise the amount of cash to buy enough influence and lobbying to move the needle on things that are in the public interest

This is what PACs and nonprofits do. If you want to participate, there is probably already at least one for whatever issue you care about.
I absolutely disagree. There is a difference between quid-pro-quo corruption and what we have now. And there are important differences in the way you architect a system to prevent one vs. the other.
Yeah, if you're using Windows you aren't going to be able to use it. Or are you suggesting that Microsoft should implement posix_spawn?
Lol sure, and “guns don’t kill people; people kill people”
You're missing out on the brave new future! netlifyctl is dormant, upgrade to netlify-cli: https://github.com/netlify/cli
Seeing both, this isn't true.

Cambodia has a much higher suicide rate than Australia.

Money is happiness. It's only the ultra rich who think otherwise.

Seeing kids die at the rate they do in Cambodia is going to make them unhappy. I find it strange people think other wise.

Almost no parents will get to send their kids to an ok university. Many can't even send them to the finish of school.

> strong supportive family connections.

This isn't as true as you think. They must socially look this way, but it often doesn't play out that way. With more money this might however help with happiness... But equally societies with more money might move away from this model because it's very toxic at times.

And talk to them about the fact they are under a virtual dictatorship....

They have something great, but without money, they get more of the horrors of life thrust upon them.
> Good riddance?

Regardless of this paper, I don't see its use declining significantly any time soon.
Uber plans to sell $10B in IPO at $90-$100B valuation
I think that's true. Deadlines do have some pedagogical value. When I did Udacity, it was pay by month, so there was a sense of time pressure in that every extra month burned cash. I think they switched to the flat fee now because too many people were blazing through in 2-4 months which is too bad because it took out the admittedly low pressure time aspect of the program.
Taleb expanded my view of the impact of fat tails. (And my interpretation of his book helped me in an interview) He also helped me realize the limitation of models.
My guess, its not so much about blockchain as being in control of his own distribution and sources of income. I'm sure he'll try other models too.

The big tech companies all seem to be itching for censorship and deplatforming - due to the personal political inclinations of their senior executives, workforce, and due to increasing pressure from state actors.

Like Sam Harris' jumping ship from Patreon, my guess is PewDiePie is anticipating that he will be booted from YT in the near future, so he's moving his eggs to other baskets before that happens.
This spawned SO MANY IMITATORS. My favorite was "The Secret", which was both a puzzle and a field guide to the fairies of the modern world.

It's just the equivalent, not EEE.
It's obviously because of the way our economy is set up. One possible outcome of more automation could be higher standard of living while doing less work for everybody. Another possible outcome is a large part of the population being unemployed or underemployed, without health care and trouble to keep housing and even put food on the table, while a small portion of the population that owns the robots lives in luxury. Which of the two alternatives seems right now more realistic? We can't even agree on basic income guarantee which obviously is a necessary step to move towards the desirable of the two scenarios. It's understandable because that clearly would be "communism" and that's always bad and we cannot have that as god fearing, compassionate Americans.
It's the difference between a strict hierarchy and cross-cutting sets. Composition allows you to "talk about" a given category of which any set of objects can be members, independently of their membership in other categories. Whereas with inheritance, if a member of category B wants to reuse aspects of category A, all B's must strictly be A's.
I like to be connected I guess. Waiting in traffic sucks, it’s boring as hell. My commute is 1.5 hours each way.

To be honest, I want a self lane following car. Reliably keep distance from car in front, keep the current lane, don’t exceed speed limit. Don’t bumps into objects, stop on traffic lights

5 simple things. I feel like this should be doable reliably in the next decade.

I don’t want to drive. I don’t have another more convenient option.
> In the case of the November 2016 election, other prediction sites were giving the Trump team a 1-2% chance, 538 was giving them a 20% change. Considering that, 538 comes out as the clear winner.

One common mistake I've seen is people mistaking that 20% as the expected vote ratio. It definitely wasn't; that was hidden behind an apparently too-well-hidden toggle (buttons above the graph), and was floating around 45% Trump and 48% Clinton, with overlapping error ranges.
> What happens when you don't have the cash to pay?

You ask as if it would be a new concept to penalize people who don't pay their taxes...

There are clear laws on the books for tax evasion. No need to doubt about what happens.
I just came back to the US for a visit and was absolutely gobsmacked at the wide level of texting/phone usage while driving. People weren't even making an effort to hide it or using hands-free cradles. Just full on swiping and looking down while driving on freeways and at traffic lights. It felt like a surreal dystopian nightmare.
You may be able to repurpose them to crack passwords if you have any interest in that.
A situation worth getting back to, imo.
I admire the bravery it takes to admit it, and so I'll abstain from judgement.

To help you put it in perspective though, simply ask yourself if you'll stop caring about the notifications the day after running into a pedestrian or a cyclist.
Given the performance of the Lyft IPO I'm going to prepare some popcorn and get ready to watch the show. This should be entertaining to see how it goes with a similar company, except this time the subject has a tainted past and an aggressive and offensive disregard for the value of money. Uber shovels it into the fire like almost no other.

And they killed a lady in Arizona with their self-driving car last year.

And of the 10 colleagues of mine they've hired, only 1 or 2 were really good, but they all got insane comp packages. Yikes!

Have fun playing musical chairs scrambling to own a micro fraction of a piece of 10% of the behemoth. ;)

I hope history proves me wrong, because otherwise a lot of innocent, naiive investors are going to be left holding the bag.
What I find doubly crazy is that this is an aspect of subjective experience that's relatively easy to describe, compared to others, and we're still only now realizing how much variation there is. I strongly suspect that the entire structure of thought varies greatly from person to person, but we're largely unaware of the differences because we've all implemented the same interface, so to speak.
This exactly.

When I install something, if it pulls in a ton of stuff, I'll reevaluate whether I actually need it. In fact, I was pretty excited when I finally got rid of my dependency on 32-bit stuff and could eliminate the 32-bit repo.

I like 64-bit because it keeps my system clean, but because it's "better". I definitely want a 64-bit OS so some things can use more than 4GB RAM, so why have two copies of everything? Just standardize on the thing nearly everyone uses: 64-bit.
SMS is one platform that seems to still have immediacy. At least for me, the signal-to-noise ratio is very high. Interesting experiment to use it as publishing platform in this way.
It's not like seeing things that aren't there, it's like watching a movie, you know it's not real. It's kinda like two different visual channels, and perhaps hallucinations are what happens when people can no longer distinguish between the two...
Echoing this. Took their intro to CS with Sebastian Thrunn around my senior year of high school, and it made me decide to get a degree in CS. 6 years later, i work as a dev, so I definitely feel like i owe some of it to taking that course

I sincerely hope this never comes to Canada.
How were they made up? Who came up with these?
I doubt that. You can walk into many modern churches and tell them that you're not a believer but you want to be a part of their community and they will welcome you with open arms if you are kind and wish to contribute in a positive way.

We have a few spouses at the church that I am a member of that are not members and don't wish to become one. But they attend and participate like everyone else and they are welcome just the same.

Except you'll be competing with patio11 so watch out.. haha. Nice seeing your comment here and want to echo about the writing what you learn part. This will help refine your ideas too. It also puts you on the map and you will start to build up a portfolio of sorts. This is great advice.
But container ships.
It's hard to catch money laundering. It is very likely that a lot of money laundering goes on undeterred by law. But still it's illegal. The way it is detected is by demanding that the banks themselves alert authorities to possible money laundering.

Similarly because social media platforms have the analytics to detect advertising masquerading as influencers, this type of unregulated advertising could be brought under regulation by requiring social media platforms to report it.

The smudge on the screenshot is a strange visual. Also very unusual that the entire main text column is an 8000-pixel high, 3 MB PNG image.
Now with that AWS lock-in, no thanks. It only serves as a reminder of how early adopters get burned, similar though not as bad as the whole FoundationDB->Apple fiasco; that one affected me personally and drove home this lesson.

I don't enjoy being the insect who claimed a tall blade of grass only to be mowed down first. If you value your time and value stability, don't use closed-core tools.
I'm sorry this just reads as someone who doesn't understand that SELinux controls almost everything on a box when enabled. Of course you look in its reports when things fail, particularly if it's permission denied or any other denial. This is the modern day equivalent of "they recommended I just chmod everything 777 or run it all as root, but no, I powered through even though it was hard." SELinux is obtuse but it's not difficult once you learn the patterns.

It's amazing how much of it would describe a modern agile team but on the other hand there's still some largely unexplored territory. Last year I got to spend a lot of time working in a team of two that was much like the surgical team approach, the c++ expert cranked out code while I as the linux expert (the closest we had anyway) cleared the path, got the environment, builds, source control and scripts to work.

Having a specialized tool maker doesn't seem very common either, it seems like in most places everyone is there own toolmaker with little to no sharing, or that there are no toolmakers.
My takeaway is that most people assume a university professor never "brushes up against the floor of society" (as you put it).

This article is good for enlightening people that this is far from the case.

If resignation is warranted for some mismanagement, then I guess the people still at Facebook, Google, Amazon and many other companies ought to have resigned a long time ago and should’ve vowed never to work in this field ever again.

Outrage is good, but it also needs to be directed well and fairly.
Most of the stuff is taken from the fact that Ripcord is multiplatform. It uses Qt5, it takes lots of space, but works everywhere. Ripcord also bundles lots of libraries for lots of file formats (audio, video), bundles OpenSSL for cryptography support (although the library is from 2014, and probably should be updated), should theoretically support Wayland (at least it has some libs for supporting it), etc.

MSN Messenger probably uses WinAPI and being a Windows-only program it can get away with it.
