Most of these residential ISPs that people hate are also major (T1/T2) upstream providers for companies like DO. If not already, at some point, these providers are going to just sniff VPN traffic straight off of their backbones.

Say your ISP is Comcast... If Comcast knows your are connected to some VPS via VPN, it's likely that anything coming out of that VPN is yours. And if Comcast (or some subsidiary or partner) is also the upstream provider for that VPS, they could pretty easily make some correlations.

Right. And kicking a rugby ball at full strength from a short distance towards an unprotected goalie might hurt. In the video they're only lightly passing and kicking the ball.
This sounds like a Docker networking problem. I would think you need to have docker-compose and bring your microservice and all the dependencies up and then test against your microservice _in the same network_.

I've written some .gitlab-ci.yml files in the last months. What I do is using a script to validate against the Gitlab lint API. This is done every time I save the file.

I also run gitlab-runner on my local machine and test my jobs with `gitlab-runner exec docker`. Don't forget to commit what you need in the job. You don't need to commit the .gitlab-ci.yml, but everything else, because the first step to run the job is cloning the repo.

I have also updated the brew formulas for the last releases of gitlab-runner. Gitlab is great software and I've worked with it and administrated it for the last 5 years. I don't want to miss it.
That they're worried, or that it will actually happen? It's incredibly unlikely that it will happen. But the nature of terrorism and political violence is that it's not targeted at its direct victims. Its purpose is to intimidate you into thinking twice before criticizing certain authoritarian-leaning powers.

In other words, when people who are involved with Saudi Arabia in some way think about Jamal Khashoggi losing his fingers one by one to some bigger men with a bone saw, there is a visceral sense of intimidation. It's the same visceral intimidation that we Americans felt when the twin towers fell. The objective is not to get rid of Khashoggi (that's the work of two minutes and one bullet); the objective is to gall the survivors into making mistakes.

Folks in Copenhagen don't care about everyone's quality of life, they seem to care about the quality of life for their fellow citizens. I don't see the Danish tripping over themselves to help the less fortunate outside of Denmark, but many Americans help out illegals who invade America.

I think America could do this but it would require doing something about illegals and like Denmark, getting rid of birthright citizenship and moving towards ethnic homogeneity.

America is too diverse for people to really care about everyone else.

In reality, JavaScript in 2019 on V8 - thanks to innovations like JIT compiling - is in almost the same ballpark as Java itself when it comes to performance. JavaScript itself is not what slows down JavaScript UIs.

What does slow down Web UIs is the DOM (whose rendering engine in Chromium is written in C++). The DOM is the most advanced layout engine ever created. It does an unbelievable amount of work to make interfaces resizable-by-default and adaptable-by-default, and yet is enormously flexible, allowing one to build virtually any box-based interface imaginable. This isn't simply so newcomers have an easier time. It frees application code to focus on the control logic and the structural side of the view, instead of messing with things like pixels and manual sizing, which makes application code more maintainable and reusable. I can place a piece of DOM in wildly different contexts, with wildly different amounts and types of content, and for the most part it will just respond as expected. This significantly reduces code complexity, which improves long-term maintainability and avoids bugs.

This of course comes with a cost. All of those implicit layout adjustments have overhead. The ability for your code to handle content you never thought it would encounter requires CPU time. That cost isn't worth it for certain applications. But it isn't a waste, or a sign of the moral decline of "kids these days". It's a conscious tradeoff that any good developer can weigh and consider for what it is.

Not to mention the fact that if you really are searching for a "blockchain expert to influence the team" there's a higher chance the job itself is bullshit, because valid use cases for blockchain seem quite limited, which I suspect would put off many non-bullshitters.

People at work half-jokingly ask me when we're going to integrate blockchain into our platform because they know that, even though it'd sound good in the marketing literature and sales pitches, we have so far discovered no practical use for it and don't want to waste time and energy[1].

[1] Not just the team's energy: solving a problem at scale with blockchain is likely to be hugely inefficient in terms of infrastructure and power consumption.

The Lost Art of Deadline Writing
> "federal" and "discretionary" are weasel qualifiers that attempt to make military spending look artificially large[...]

It's not just a weasel qualifier. There is mandatory military spending in the US, e.g. pensions paid to retired members of the military. Considering pensions paid to veterans a part of military spending is the norm, e.g. NATO's % GDP numbers take that into account for all its members.

> For one thing, defense is one of the relatively few things the federal government is supposed to be doing[..]

Sure, but the extent to which it does it is largely discretionary. It's mostly a political decision to keep spending more today as a percentage of GDP than the US was doing in the 1930s[1], or to name an example closer to the current day more than was being spent on September 10th, 2001.

If the API was called by the consumer and the connection was alive long enough for the request to be sent without the connection closing, the message was sent to the client. If the client failed halfway through receiving the message the server would have received a connection closed event. That’s basic TCP/IP.

Sounds like a normal, healthy market. Prices are not supposed to just go up. They are certainly not supposed to go up by double digit percentages points year after year.

> everyone will leave your regulated network for another parallel open network IPFS anyone

Maybe that'd be a good thing?

What I wish could happen here in the US is wider private mesh network adoption.

Right now, it exists at a certain level in some cities, but it is something that is relatively unknown, and ultimately it has to connect to the wider internet via commercial carriers, which ultimately limits it.

If it could be completely distributed, with all nodes privately owned - think something like CB radio used to be (of course, there were problems with that from some operators - sigh) - anyone could stick up an antenna and easily become a node on the mesh.

...but in the US, you run into a very big problem: Hopping the "gaps".

In certain areas of the United States (primarily the southwest region, but others exist too) making the hop from one city to the next via independent distributed mesh means is virtually impossible. Either distance or geographic constraints (mountains) hinder the coverage.

The best solution I could think of, that wouldn't require one or multiple wealth benefactors (who would then be in de-facto control of that portion - not what is wanted, I'd imagine), would be mesh nodes in all vehicles, so that you'd have travelling nodes on the highways and elsewhere.

I know it's all a pipe dream; I'm just tired of being so restricted in what I can or cannot do with my "pipe" unless I spend a buttload of money on a "business class" pipe (which my provider may not even allow to my home; plus I bet it would also have certain restrictions as well).
Simultaneously lacking in the pro-relaxation/mental health benefits of both the developing world (importance of family and extended family, close-knit community structures) and the developed world (social welfare, healthcare safety net - people don't go uninsured and risk bankruptcy or avoid doctors due to potential bills in other developed countries).

The USA is a great place to try to become wealthy but a terrible place to be poor.

>“what other industry is there where the top decision-makers have never done the basic work of the company?”

Not to belabour a point sibling comments have already made but I think it's the other way around, actually. Much more common to have a CEO in tech who has been in the trenches than in other industries.

Compare the likelihood of a tech CEO having some software engineering/programming experience to the likelihood of an oil and gas executive having worked as a roustabout or a welder, or a healthcare industry exec having done rounds as a doctor or nurse.

The use of the super key on Mac is horrible. It should sit there uselessly, until I tell it to do otherwise. On Mac, here are no safe hotkeys to bind anything to. On Linux, my WM configuration has a ton of actions bound to the super key, and I never have to worry that it will conflict with another application.

I think this is far, far beyond any algorithmic composition system ever made before. It displays an impressive understanding of the fundamentals of music theory.

Most previous attempts at neural net composition restricted the training set to one style of music or even one composer, which is pretty silly if you understand how neural nets work. It was obvious to me if you used a very large network, chose the right input representation, and most importantly used a complete dataset of all available music, you would get great results. That's exactly what OpenAI has done here.

It is still lacking some longer term structure in the music it generates (e.g. ABA form). But I think simply scaling up further (model and dataset size both) could fix that without any breakthroughs. This seems to be OpenAI's bread and butter now: taking existing techniques and scaling them up with a few tweaks. (To be clear, I don't mean to minimize what they've done at all. "Simply" scaling up is not so simple in reality.)

What might still need some breakthroughs is applying the same technique to raw audio instead of MIDI. Perhaps what is needed is a more expressive symbolic representation than MIDI. I'm imagining an architecture with three parts: a transcription network to produce a symbolic representation (perhaps embedding vectors instead of MIDI), something like this MuseNet for the middle, and a synthesis network to translate back to raw audio. This would be analogous to gluing together a speech recognizer, text processing network, and a speech synthesizer. Such a system could generate much more natural sounding music, even perhaps with lyrics.
So your two sources are

The entire "world police" concept is ridiculous and used to mask the true colonialist ambitions the US operates under. The reason this is a "problem" is that it might make China richer rather than the US.

The notion that the US military has been a force of good for the world needs to be abandoned. It serves only to encourage the US to attack more countries, as killing millions more Asians would be viewed as the more moral option than allowing Chinese influence to spread.
I think it will be interesting to see whether there's a legal difference between a person, being inspired by obviously copyrighted material and creating something similar or a Machine Learning model that is trained by the same.

If I look at the Marvin Gaye Blurred Lines case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blurred_Lines#Marvin_Gaye_laws... that took years to resolve involving humans, I wouldn't personally risk to release machine-generated music that was trained on copyrighted music.

I think the movie / book "Fight Club" does a good job of pointing out how ridiculous American culture can be. Up until they go off the rails and start bombing stuff, it's a really nice critique on society.

For example:
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. "

"We're consumers. We are the byproducts of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra."

America has a problem with raising people to have realistic expectations. Whatever your parents' station in life, that's probably right about where you'll end up. You can't be "anything" you want. People grind themselves into the ground trying to be things they aren't.
This is a good point. Right now, web UIs on the desktop are effectively living in a world where DLLs were never invented.
Did you just blame immigrants for Americans being stressed out?
Apps for blind people could still be malicious, but that’s not a reason to justify random bullshit apps claiming accessibility permissions.

A real address book app could still harvest your contact data and sell it for marketing purposes, but if google cracks down and says “Hey flashlight apps, you aren’t allowed to scrape Contacts information anymore” that would be entirely reasonable.

Abuse of android’s accessibility services is particularly dangerous, hence the push for tighter controls on who can use it.

Great list and summary! So often these concerns get conflated.

We're working on a framework that address 1, 2, 2.1, 3, and 3.1 - Revery [0] - a React-like framework that compiles to native code, built with ReasonML [1]. I believe that the React pure-functional model of UI-as-a-function-of-state is such a powerful paradigm, and not leveraged on native today - ReasonML is a perfect fit for that.

Bullet point 4 is a non-goal for Revery, but our sister project, Brisk [2] is built on platform widgets.

I'd personally also add a couple of dev experience bullet points or ideas to the "holy grail":

6) Fast / instant compilation time

7) Hot-reload (see changes to the app instantly)

We're not there yet, but we hope we could also get to the point of including 6/7 - essentially bringing some of the great aspects of React/Redux to desktop application development, with native code.

The legal consensus, such as it is, seems to be that (if you did not otherwise agree to a contract/license modifying this in arbitrary ways) you create a new copyright & own it if you use their music-editing tool to tweak settings until you got something you liked, because you are exercising creative control, making choices, and engaging in labor. On the other hand, if you merely generated a random sample, neither you nor anyone else own a copyright on it.
