You are going to upset all the Clojure fans with that :-)

But what would be the point in more JVM languages? I feel like a big factor in that is just that every niche is well filled with mature languages now.

And why would they want to destroy those companies?

Uber gives them income they otherwise would not have (if they had better employment options they would use them - especially in the current excellent economy).

So why would they want to destroy their source of income?
> And they could probably automate this.

They do. It's called surge pricing. If there are not enough drivers prices go up. And yes, drivers definitely notice and go drive when they see surge pricing is in effect.

Depends on the industry, I suppose.

My experience from interviewing and first hand employment experience is that most finance shops in Chicago offer at least a free lunch. Some also offer hot breakfast and dinner as well. (Sometimes dinner is left overs from lunch, depends on the shop).

I've only worked in one trading shop that didn't offer lunch, but they were small and out of the financial district.

I briefly contracted at a shop that even extended the free lunch me, even while on the clock.

Outside of finance, I dont have any direct knowledge. This is over 15 years of working as an FTE in either trading or financial services as a developer.
The thing I don't understand is where did they get the footage of the F-18's chasing it? And why did they only get/release a few seconds and not the entire video? If it's this important, then why only release a sneak peek?
> They have no power.

They have the power to vote, arguably much more influential then money.

> They are too poor and too desperate to be unemployed for long

If they are too poor, they also qualify for food stamp and a bunch of other benefit that YOU are paying for ! Its a transfer of wealth from your work / pocket to rich Uber shareholders like Saudi Arabia.

Unlikely, especially for last mile, and in cities ( where most people live )

Most of us are "serfs" to somebody, unless you are retired or are living off your investments.

It's already automated. That's the whole point of surge pricing: to raise prices when they need more drivers and lower prices when there are too many drivers.

If these drivers actually think striking is going to do anything, they have no understanding of economics.

Yes, I want them to censor lies and misleading speech. People or services that feed the public dangerous misinformation should be silenced.

Spring is built on the good parts of JEE; servlet api, jdbc, etc.. so it's not immune to churn in this area.
So I work with a company where we provide online nutrition consultation to employees from other organisations as part of a larger corporate medical program. Our system has a scheduling system developed in Rails to deal with these appointments. This system was developed by a person who quit the company some time back.

A few weeks back, we got some complaints from a client who said some of their employees weren't getting allotted an appointment slot, despite the fact that the slot is supposedly free. I dived into the codebase to try and figure out the problem. There were some minor bugs which I spotted first, and could fix without using a debugger. But the appointments were still getting dropped occasionally. So I started tracing the control flow more carefully.

That’s when I found one of the strangest pieces of code I had ever seen. To figure out what the next available appointment slot was, there was a strange function which got the last occupied slot from the database as a DateTime object, converted it to a string, manipulate it using only string operations, and finally wrote it back to the database after parsing it back to a DateTime object, before returning the response! This included some timezone conversions as well! Rails has some very good support for manipulating DateTimes and timezones. And yet, the function's author had written the operation in one of the most confounding ways possible.

Now, I could have sat there and understood the function without a debugger as the article recommends. And then, having understood the function, I could have then rewritten the function using proper DateTime operations. But with a client and my mangers desperately waiting for a fix, I used a debugger to step through the code, line by line, just understanding the issue locally, and fixed the bug which was buried in one of the string operations. That solved the problem temporarily, and everyone was happy.

A week later, when I had more time, I went back and again used the debugger to do some exploratory analysis, and create a state machine model of the function, observing all the ways it was manipulating that string. I added a bunch of extra tests, and finally rewrote the function in a cleaner way.

Instead of romanticising the process of developing software by advocating the use or disuse of certain tools, we should be using every tool available to simplify our work, and achieve our tasks more efficiently.
If it doesn't happen sometime soon, Uber and Lyft will go out of business. They need fully autonomous driving in order to achieve profitability.

So Uber and Lyft either achieve self driving capabilities and get rid of the human drivers or go out of business and let the human drivers go. Either way human ride share drivers have no future. If anyone is looking at this occupation as anything other than temp work, they need a reality check.
Main frothing at the mouth was because of requirement to pay local minimum wage for the time employee worked in that country.
> a mistake happened and they were able to recover pretty fast, and my browser wasn't exploited by bad actors in the meantime.

To me adding a new plugin signing cert through a side loaded plugin is pretty much the definition of exploited.

All this tells me is that their plugin signing solution is utterly worthless.

The only way this should have been fixed was through official update channels.

That's a beautiful way to put it.
Given that Fascists universally destroy Socialist Orgs, and openly, wantonly, slaughter every concieveable kind of socialist, from anarchists, to hard stalinists, to simple trade unionst social democrats, it kind of beggars belief that someone can hold this sort of opinion. Theres a tee shirt company "Right Wing Death Squads", you should look them up and then maybe do some digging on why their shirts bear pictures of helicopters with people being thrown out of them. Or maybe why the first people to fill concentration camps in Germany were communists and socialists. Or, really, just read any history of fascism not written by a fascist or a fash-sympathizer. But then you might not be moved to drop hot garbage like this.
Conda gives you two real advantages: the first is straightforward virtual environments (you could also use venv) and secondly better dependency management than pip in some cases.

There are certain packages which aren't available on pip that conda-forge provides e.g. for a while OpenCV wasn't available through pypi.

Remember you can use pip within conda, and you can install directly (e.g. setup.py) within a conda env.

Docker is mostly useful if you want to mix and match different versions of CUDA/cudnn etc. If you just want to run an isolated Python environment, then Conda will do the job.

The excellent Horizon documentary, "Fermat's Last Theorem", about Wiles' proof has some great interview footage with Shimura where he even discusses his sadness and being perplexed at Taniyama's sudden suicide.

When asked about Wiles' proof proving their conjecture, he quips with a sly grin: "Well, my first reaction was, 'I told you so.'"
Do your safety research (erowid, psychonautwiki) and purchase from a reliable source (the internet is your friend) and you will have a very interesting time.
They wouldn't necessarily want to destroy the company, but it certainly helps them negotiate. Especially since there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about Uber anymore. They did the hard work of breaking down bureaucracies and getting people used to the idea of non-professional drivers.

When Uber and Lyft left Austin, a bunch of companies popped up very quickly to fill the gap. It isn't clear to me what you are investing in if you were to buy Uber shares.

Why is this going to the public before being accepted by scientists? This format is appropriate for things that have been known to be true for twenty years, not random models. Taking your ideas straight to the public before obtaining wide expert agreement is actually one of the signs of physics-themed crackpottery.
> Sorry but if taxi drivers are committing suicide due to losses on medallion value, they should be protesting city hall, not Uber.

Taxi drivers aren't protesting, it's the ride-share drivers who are protesting. Ride-share drivers have grievances with Uber outside of what's happening to traditional taxi drivers.
> One objection might be that a church is probably supposed to be a different kind of architecture from everything else

There are certain design elements that Catholic churches in general (and cathedrals specifically) tend to have related to their specific function, but neither difference for the sake of difference nor anything particular that prohibits a glass roof is really called for; both original and renovation construction of churches (including cathedrals) tends to reflect a blend of architectural fashion at the time and place of construction and liturgical practice of the time (with renovations often blending current trends with the desire for harmony with the remaining constructions and a desire to evoke or pay homage to the replaced components even when not directly reproducing them.)

Math tends to bug me because "proving" theorems seems to come from convincing arguments, but we have enough computation power at this point that we should reduce them to mechanical/machine verification and then just run them and know.

With enough rigor, you don't need to "convince" anyone--a machine can verify it.
When disaster kicked in, my Firefox prominently displayed a yellow bar informing me that addons had been disabled due to [whatever].

He mentions in the Horizon "Fermat's Last Theorem" documentary that Taniyama was "not a careful person as a mathematician. He made a lot of mistakes, but he made mistakes in a good direction, so eventually he got [to] the right answer, and I tried to imitate him, but I found out that it is very difficult to make good mistakes." He says it with a wry grin.
Negotiate for what, a larger share of Uber's losses? You can't negotiate for more money with a company that loses hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
So you think if all the uber drivers suddenly had expertise in a skilled trade, they could all get jobs?
This is why I do not work on open source projects any more. Entitled know nothings who demand that everyone live on $5 a day in a dilapidated share house because they do.

I've had people stalk me, much like this post, and demand I give a line item breakdown of where the expenses are going.

This is a huge problem for the ecosystem since we are being left with the no-hopers who are unemployable for a reason. And the corporate funded developers who have a huge conflict of interest.
You are right, but HFT is a tiny subset (headcount-wise) of the Financial industry.
Why would it depend on request rate rather than upload rate? Just pre-scale several variants on upload. Then run an MR job every now and then and delete the variants that haven't been touched for more than e.g. a month. Scale those on demand, store recents and frequently accessed pre-scaled. This is literally a few days of work.

Possibly you just need to force it to reverify again. If this is still the state of things try setting `app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification` to 0 in about:config, and then restarting your browser.

But no guarantees. Do you have reason to believe the addons are still installed?

Go back to school and explore.

I never had a traditional education and I work with a lot of CS grads and people with great educations. Personally when I was college age I just wasn't a good student, I didn't appreciate it and I wanted to work.

Recently I went back to school for a class as part of a career change and I loved it. The idea that someone was there every day to provide me knowledge was exciting and filled me with energy. I went to school, then head home and care for the family, and when everyone was asleep hit the books and it was the most fun I had in a long time... maybe decades.

I'd love to go do that again.

Seriously though, I'm an Asian now living in America -- in the cold part. For the first 15'ish years here, I despised the Winters because I could not tolerate them. But then I started lifting and doing cardio, and all of a sudden I could bear the cold just fine.

Americans are being wusses if they are so intolerant of that range. They need to buck up and hit the gym, like I finally did.
I don't know if you've forgotten, but under that old use case (hundreds of tabs in one process), Firefox would bog down further and further as background tabs stole more and more main thread time, eventually only a restart of the browser would restore it to usability.

In 2019, I still use hundreds of tabs - and Firefox handles it with grace. RAM is there to be used, and this is the perfect use for it.

First, take a deep breath and calm down. No one category of addon is more affected by this than any other, and Mozilla has no way of 'fixing ad blockers' before anything else. Once the signing certificate is replaced, all addons will work.

Simply turn on studies and allow it to install the new cert, and you'll be on your way.
