I agree with you that there are some DSLs which are very difficult to understand at first look. However, to me shifting, and pushing/pulling over streams are not so dissimilar.

There are lots of cases where overriding operators makes sense and is intuitive to the reader, for instance when you are dealing with monoids, groups or rings.
So, out of curiosity, do these treaties belong to the public domain now?
> Maybe I've triggered this by virtue of some configuration option I've set?

Maybe the port is not distributable, I've listed several situations in the parent comment where ports would be built from source, if none applies in your case you can ask on the macports-dev mailing list posting the output of port -v install [port].

> provided the maintainer policy allows it

We welcome any pull requests, the maintainer policy is for committers merging PRs.

> I am curious about new ports, though: what is the policy on these? Should we aim to "mirror" packages that homebrew/core adds?

Generally, any open-source software can be added to MacPorts. Feel free to add software Homebrew provides, but don't limit yourself to that :)

> Does MacPorts have any equivalent for Homebrew's Caskroom?

No, but you can use a custom ports tree (https://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories). In some cases (e.g. OpenJDK) we would repack binaries, but we prefer building ports from source (on our Buildbot or during install if binaries are not distributable).

We could discuss this on macports-dev. Creating a repository on GitHub and writing (un)install instructions is all we need to get started.

> https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57950

Our Trac tickets are somewhat neglected, please post on macports-dev if no one responds. If the change is simple, you can also make a pull request which is easier to review and merge.

> has there been any work done on making this migration between OS versions less jarring?

Yes, but the PR is stalled for now (lack of manpower again). https://github.com/macports/macports-base/pull/56

I haven't experienced these issues myself because I would always reinstall MacPorts after a major macOS upgrade.
3 years, one of the biggest O+G companies in the world, seconded into a function that 90% of the time was 5 or 10% busy, also away from home on 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.

Everyone else thought it was a dream. I went from doing complex h/w and s/w systems design and troubleshooting to adding little to no value every day, plus 2000km away from home.

I started to lose my mind, mostly manifested as internet shopping and pranking/teasing the juniors, followed by a fairly long period of over a year with some kind of pseudo narcolepsy I could not control. Photos abound of me asleep at the desk...

Did Comp TIA+ and a few other courses, but somehow it is hard to keep the apathy at bay and focus on something you are just doing without a specific purpose.

Some days I ran out of internet to browse, which is saying something.

I agreed to go because we were a little quiet for work in the office and pay was pretty high, but in retrospect it wasn't worth it and I should have just gone back and taken what projects came up.
Most of the people who are accessing the web for the first time are from poor countries like India and Indonesia, so the effect on Google's revenue is much smaller than the number of people would suggest. Other drivers of Google's growth are just as important: (1) People who are already connected to the internet are getting richer and are spending more time online; (2) Google continues to improve its algorithm matching advertisers to users

I'm not quite sure what is really the advantage of this approach. Docker is essentially a process isolation tool, and is well suited for scenarios when you need to isolate a running process, but less when you need to isolate an environment.

If you need to isolate a part of the file system, e.g. if your environment only concerns Python files, the standard virtualenv (or venv) is perfectly powerful; if you need to isolate other parts of the system, such as memory, installed binaries and the such, your best bet is vagrant (combined with something like VirtualBox). And both of them work fine with a local IDE.

Docker works best for deployment, when you want to set up a running process in a consistent manner, and its closed-box approach works really well in that scenario. But in development you generally want more flexibility.
I'm not sure but..

Exactly my experience; I watched a downloaded version first on my PC, then my wife and I watched the version on our local streamed station (Fox, in Estonia), and we thought it looked terrible. It was so bad we were wondering if they dialed down the quality to account for demand. Ended up giving her our iPad to watch the pirated version on.

Personally, I think this could just be chalked up to UA string parsing issues. Not worth the trouble for Google to kick up a storm over a marginal market share browser.
That's weird that she was expected to study for it, sounds like it was just testing if she was "ahead of grade level". So yeah, doing it wrong.

IIRC the Egyptian tombs / pyramids all had warnings similar to "trespassers will be cursed"; didn't stop the tomb robberies, and didn't stop Tutankhamun's sealed tomb from being unsealed and opened.

The parallels to this are pretty clear; supposedly, there was a mold in there that ended up killing a few of the archeologists.

Re: the article, and I'm sure I've mentioned this in the previous discussions, they should try and explain radiation as a scientific thing. "This is not a place of honor" is far too vague, and only piques people's interest - like, "well what is it then?", or, "Why would they go through all this trouble?". Either find a way to explain radiation, or - probably preferable - put it in a location that is invisible on the outside and will only become more inaccessible over time, like down a geological fault line.

As apparently no one who opposes Huawei seems to be bothered with e.g. Ciscos security track record, it has to be either corruption or ideology.
And... that would be about the "social responsibility" of business.

This is clearly a huge social cost. How should a society, government deal with situation like this? How they do right now? (I'm interested in a general view, not only the US, cause they're crazy about "do what you want no matter the social cost")
I think it's important to show our governments that we're worried about this influence. Hopefully they'll react to that and move closer to the people's wants (you know, like democracies are supposed to work)

Not targeting at you, obviously you are explaining the thought process of the exam maker, but that kinda shows the issue with them.

They looked at the question and realize that there's no right answer for these kind of question to be made in to a multiple choice question. But instead of changing the test to something else, or making it a free text answer, they choose to play with wording of the question to hide the problem with it.

That's what I thought as well when I saw the picture of the human being poisoned by the radioactive waste and dieing. A culture might think: "This may be a great poison, let's use it to destroy our enemies and lay waste to their lands forever". Not entirely unlike some of our own plans for using nuclear weapons only with less bang.

Yeah, they have had competitors offering similar things longer than they have existed. Their main advantage is VC funding making them able to operate at a loss so they can undercut the competition.
They did it with the help of US and European companies.
I have been told that I was rejected for not being a cultural fit. I strongly suspect that was because I asked them about working hours/ days and told them that I have interests outside of tech and I take my time off seriously and don't really believe in 365 days hustle atmosphere.

In India it is very difficult to find developers who have interests beyond coding, drinking and binge watching TV shows and unfortunately, they expect the same out of you.
I can provide a counter example to this. Searching for my full name (and for many years my first name) has always resulted in my personal website being the top link.

It's not SEO, it's just age. I am an old man with an old school website that's happened to have been up for a long time.
It's 5GB because it includes every single extendable package too, as well as their documentation (in PDF format, of course). There's a healthy TeX package ecosystem [0]

Windows users have the option of installing via MiKTeX instead of TeXLive, the benefit being that MiKTeX has a package management system which installs the base packages at start and then automatically downloads the others as and when they are needed. [1]

Not sure if that's possible in other OS'?

I got a devoweled version of my middle name, four letters. Mostly just so I could have my own domain name for email, to get away from google, but I've also started putting up content. Right now it's just recipes, but I'll add other stuff if I find it interesting or important. I do very basic hand-coded HTML, because I'm sick of bloated websites.

I'm not making my site for anyone other than me. Curious people who look at my email address can visit my domain if they want to.
It was the best thing that happened to both of my step kids. They met great people, learned amazing things, socialized with people who had common interests and talent. Best of all they stopped hating school and flourished.

Consider that some of these parties you're throwing mud at, based on assumptions, might not be deserving of mud. If news is making one cynical, maybe take a break, and look for parties deserving of flowers, keeping the mud in reserve.
I was going to say that you can combat this by simply linking to your website from all these profiles but it turns out that virtually all social media sites `rel="nofollow"` homepage links. Which in itself is a pretty sleazy tactic (sure, the official reason is to combat spam).
Just today I finished implementing radix heaps in C# to optimize some of my Dijkstras.. When I googled I saw zero implementations in C#, so I may be the first to write it. It worked well, giving me 3x speedup in practice over DAry heap and very low GC pressure, fortunate as my process was exceeding 256GB ram.

The “sinking” angle might be the clickbaity angle for the western media, but mostly it seems that Indonesian government types just don’t like living in Jakarta, which is a city without much to recommend it for pretty much the same reasons you’ll find in any other third-world city of twelve million or so people.

Even the Lonely Planet guide to Jakarta begins “Jakarta can be a difficult city to love...”

Indonesians I met in Bali had a brief look of panic and sympathy when they thought I told them my next stop was Jakarta. When I clarified that I’d actually said Yogyakarta they looked relieved.

On the other hand you have art talking about sensitive subjects that either cannot be talked about openly at all, or where the artist feels uncomfortable doing so. You can listen to whole albums of the B52s telling yourself that no LGBT topics are touched and it's already great fun, but the experience gets so much more interesting when you start reading between the lines.

And then there is the whole topic of non-deliberate creative decisions. I guess Tolkien was truly as convinced of not writing about his war experience as he liked to tell people, but "the enemy in the east" and so on, it all fits too well.

This is the sort of totally obvious prisoner’s dilemma that just a tiny bit of international cooperation could easily avoid, if only Russia (and now the US) had not gone down the road of pseudo-macho brutalism in politics.

With the beluga cat now out of the bag, any maritime conflict will be liable to justify the wholesale slaughter of large marine mammals, just as 60 years of preservation efforts have been showing some good results, and incidentally proving that international cooperation actually can work.

On the plus side, nothing was gained. Whales as a weapons, or reconnaissance, platform may have worked as a tactical surprise. But it is useless once it’s known. Killing all the whales in the Atlantic is a day’s worth of fun for bored sailors.

Instead, everyone could have just played солитер all day in the safe knowledge that they are doing the best work of their life.
I guess it's mostly ideological. The US has been spying on europeans for _years_. All these leaks by Snowden showed really good how they threat europeans.
Everything which has been leaked can't be used anymore. So if you want to continue spying on telecommunications you need to have some control. There's nothing more easy than a smearing campaign against the only other big telecommunications vendor and putting some pressure on the decision makers behind curtains.

For any european country there's no difference between spying equipment from the US or China.
How exactly are they doing this?
Oh for sure. No Regrets.
There used to be teTeX (https://www.tug.org/tetex/) which allowed installing packages separately, but that's no longer maintained.

I think KerTeX (http://www.kergis.com/en/kertex.html) now allows a similar style of pick-and-choose package installation, but it doesn't support a lot of packages (yet?).
So the sole problem in the world is your political outgroup? Boy, that must be convenient.
I am sorry that your experience was so terrible, but the plural of anecdote is not data.

For a counter-anecdote, my experience of gifted programs is that it was the first place where I wasn't bullied for being more interested in books than sports. This didn't help me fit in with other kids my own age, but it did wonders for my self-confidence and significantly improved my odds of having a decent life.

My wife's experience is similar.

The moral is that gifted programs are not in and of themselves good or bad. What they are is good for some kids and bad for others. The trick is figuring out which is better for any particular kid.
SpaceX should be able to undercut that some since they can launch their satellites at cost and using a booster that's already been up once or twice really brings that cost down.
I don't want a personal web site. I've had a handful of them in the past, and I've thrown together a couple shitty blogs over the years, but there are three big reasons why I don't anymore: I'm not that interesting; I don't have anything to show off; and inevitably it'll either become a chore or go out of date.

Like everyone, I harbor fantasies about how interesting I am, and if I run into you at the pub, I'll talk your ear off about the places I've been and the things I've done, but if I'm objective about it, none of it is particularly praiseworthy, and it's hardly going to make me stand out to a potential employer. Any attempt to dramatize my life or skills is going to reek of pomposity, even the rare bits that are somewhat unique.

I'm not a designer. I'm not a visual person. Any attempt to fashionably describe myself is going to backfire. My resume is a good overview of my skills and experience, but if I try to turn that into an online portfolio, it's not going to be any more impressive. If I don't keep it up to date, and remodel it constantly to keep up with contemporary fashions, it's going to make me look old and out of touch.

I have an exceedingly common first and last name, so I'm hard for employers to find online. I'm happy about this. I don't want employers scrutinizing my social media presence, as benign as it is. I would never give a potential employer any of my online IDs if they asked.

If you've got something to say or show and you want your own home page, go for it. I don't think most people actually have enough interesting content to warrant it, though, and I'm pretty sure that I don't.
That's hardly being "unable to answer ANY questions"; try asking them which is more common: "the big red car" vs "the red big car", do you think they'd be unable to answer?
I never understood why GUIDs were defined as

typedef struct _GUID {
DWORD Data1;
WORD Data2;
WORD Data3;
BYTE Data4[8];
} GUID;

rather than simply

typedef struct _GUID {
BYTE Data[16];
} GUID;

I get that traditional GUIDs have an internal structure, but it's entirely different than the struct (60-bit timestamp, 4-bit version, 16-bit sequence number, 48-bit MAC address).

I find your presumption, that other people are less capable of independent thought than you, very offensive.

My experience from posting elsewhere is that a thoughtful post is surprisingly well taken even if it's not pretty. Actual case, I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19783291 last night and expected to get crucified because... well, for obvious reasons. I very nearly didn't post. It actually got upvoted. So, steppenwolf, don't assume the worst of people.
> Absolutely, I find the increase of our politics and media attacking 'The Russians' and 'The Chinese' in recent years very concerning.

I rather find it concerning that Russia has been financing the far-right, nationalist and anti-European parties that have risen over entire Europe, and that China is using debt as political leverage to gain power over poor African countries.

Add to this that many Western companies and politicians only look for the next quarter/election results and not 10, 20 or heaven forbid 50 years in the future... while this is precisely what Russia and China are doing. A splintered EU won't do a thing when Russia once again screws over human rights, and no one in deep debts to China (or with all manufacturing outsourced to China...) will dare criticize them when they start executing the Uyghur Muslims.

And I just can't figure out if it actually IS cheaper - I mean you're dealing with interior architects after all, as well as the glass walls which can't be cheap either.

Plus, personnel costs (especially in Silicon Valley) are a multiple of floor space, so I can't understand that argument either.

But then, so far, I've never had someone who calls the shots on the open office model go public on why they went for it. I mean the cynic in me thinks it's about cutting costs (but then why do they have developers in SV instead of outsourcing it?) or showing off (open offices look good on pictures / when the manager walks around in it).
Given the price differential between subscribing and on-stand, I'd imagine most of their regular readership has paid before ink hits paper.

Yep, that might be it.

Well, the problem here, while looking for a job is that your interests should not bother them and the other way round too. That is something some interviewers can't comprehend.
Well I'm from the UK and this was actually a big topic of discussion recently because the Prime Minister was briefed at the National Security Council, made a decision to allow Huawei and then it leaked that she was advised by the NSC not to. So it's not exactly uncontroversial.

In my opinion it's very clear that the Trump admin is willing to just blatantly make up accusations to harm their economic adversaries. We all remember Trump sticking tariffs on goods for "National Security" that were nakedly economic protectionism. Having said that, it's also true that both China and the US are putting backdoors in technology to provide espionage opportunities. The question is though - are we likely to end up on the opposite end of the US in a war, or China? Well at the moment China is definitely more of a threat. So it's more dangerous having the Chinese back doors. That may well change though and the UK should absolutely be developing methods to mitigate all infrastructure attacks like these (and obviously putting our own backdoors in ARM chips where we can).
Perhaps the new cookie regulations are specifically hurting Google's display network ads. Facebook and Amazon are perhaps less affected.
I work as a tutor and have tutored similar questions - sometimes I encourage students to think about 'how is the test-writer trying to test you?'

And, perhaps, that is what standardized tests are intended to test: can you anticipate and meet the arbitrary requirements of someone with power over you in a particular situation? If yes, you are very employable.
