Free speech is just as much about those on the receiving end as on the producing. And, once the information passed into other hands your dealing with producing end again.

Your thesis is a non sequitur as well; people sharing and receiving the information are not necessarily advocating the killings. In fact, just like with War footage from the past, they could be using it to the opposite effect.
This strikes me as very short sighted. With the challenges and ever decreasing quality of life in SF thanks to decisions by the city's rulers it should strike anyone as likely a step in the wrong direction.

I had a travel plug adapter (for conversion between US/UK/EU-style) that had a bright blue LED on it to indicate power.

I don't know who thought the choice of blue was a good idea, because as a travel adapter, it would be plugged into the hotel room where the user would be sleeping. /facepalm

I ended up taping a piece of paper over the LED.

Washington Post and NYT are what the President of the United States says is fake news. At the same time, they're limiting the audience of their coverage to subscribers only beyond a few free articles a month.

Oh, interesting. But from what I read it's only an implementation detail of CPython?

With `with`I can't eg. pass an open file to another function to eg. be closed there etc.

Example:

closing `File` will happen at the end of `foo` or `foo2`.

All government policies are redistributive. Capping payroll taxes is redistributive. A lower income tax rate for capital gains is redistributive. Limiting recovery for wrongdoing is redistributive. Limiting "lemon laws" to a small number of days and only for brand new cars is redistributive. Corporate liability shields are redistributive. Establishing slavery was redistributive, and abolishing it was redistributive. Every single economic policy choice, from protecting private property to subsidizing beachfront property insurance, changes wealth distribution. So it's interesting to me that those who espouse unfettered capitalism seem to oppose only those redistributive policies that help poor people.

This will probably get buried, but I’ll give my personal solution to reducing the number of robocalls over the past few months. Be a robot. Either answer the phone with absolute silence or have a very loud dial tone playing. It might be a coincidence, but I’m fairly certain this has put me on robocall blacklists. Bonus points if they give you a callback number to a call center... just keep spam calling them with a loud dial tone. I only get a couple of calls per week now.

Indeed, there is a problem with local variables. The example relies on using global variables. If you want multiple threads executing the same function, it is not going to work. Also there is no solution for calling other functions (and have them switch in the middle). A long time ago, I worked on an implementation that does not have these limitations.

I just drove a Ford Edge that had this. It is a little overeager about what it thinks is an impending collision, but it works alright.

The adaptive cruise control is a mess though. In theory, it is supposed to match your speed to the vehicle ahead if they are slower, so you don't have to pay attention. In practoce, it has the potential to be a great contributor to congestion. With dumb cruise control, you can push slowpokes to get out of the way or at least speed up; the adaptive cruise control seems to match speed at a distance where the driver ahead doesn't get the signal that they are obstructing things, and they continue bumbling along.

Just wanted to share some thoughts about my recent interview experience at Amazon (East Coast). I haven't been looking for a job, but two friends work there and recommended I interview, so I thought, why not. Since I haven't interviewed in many years, I figured at the very least it'd be good to see where I/the industry stand in 2019. I interviewed for a L6 SDE, a relatively senior role when you're an outsider, from what I understand.

I have a CS degree from a top school and 20 years of experience. I code every day and have had a good career, full of learning and working on completely different things.

I had 6 onsite interviews, two of which didn't count (lunch and the one with the 50-person group overall leader, who I had no idea I'd be meeting with and was floored to have been given the time to do so).

While I aced the leadership principle and system design questions, I definitely struggled through two difficult CS whiteboard questions. Unfortunately, my worst interview was with the bar raiser, so I wasn't surprised when I got rejected.

As practice, I solved about 3 dozen practice questions on HackerRank/LeetCode, but in hindsight, I should have solved 300. Rust definitely plays a role... I would have done much better on these questions had I been I was fresh out of school, but then I wouldn't have done well on the leadership principles, so take your pick ;)

As much as I dislike whiteboarding, I understand the top companies' point of view. They have a handful of hour-long interviews to see if you can do the work, so it was up to me to use this time wisely and impress them. I did my best on that day, but it wasn't good enough. Let's say it wasn't a good day for me and I can do better. They don't know that--they can only judge what they've seen, so the decision is fair on their part.

I'm surprised at all the pushback from a sizable portion of software engineers on HN who feel "disrespected" by these interviews. I think about it this way--if you're a building contractor with some years of experience, shouldn't you be able to whiteboard the plumbing design of a multi-story building, the gauge of several electrical circuits that run devices with different loads, or diagram exactly where the fire/CO2 alarms are placed throughout a townhouse? You absolutely should, and if homeowners "interviewed" potential contractors like these companies interview us, there wouldn't be riff-raff doing shoddy construction work. The same way there shouldn't be shoddy civil engineers building bridges, etc. So, I believe fair is fair and even if I think I'm a "false negative," that's much better from Amazon's point of view than a "false positive."

I remember my high school track coach telling me "you have the right to train harder than your opponent," and that still resonates with me. If you really want the job, study harder and go get it. That's what I will do if I decide to interview at a top company again in the future. And I am married, with a young child, so I do understand that it is hard. But a top job should not be easy to get. Because then it would be a common job.

IME, hard to say better or worse, but definitely different: less day-to-day stress (work on your own schedule, drive your own project, usually no one directly dependent on your day-to-day output) but much more existential-threat-type pressure (if this doesn't work, I won't graduate). Couple that with a culture that looks down on quitting, and the fact that one can't just "quit and find another job" while staying on the academic track (one can switch advisors but it's difficult and often costs years of progress), and PhD students are often under a tremendous amount of stress. Personally I'm happy I finished but I've seen it take a lot out of others.
It's amazing to me how political this is and how oblivious to that fact a large portion of the NZ population is.

This horrible act happened on the current governments watch. I've seen more outrage and effort from the government on the spreading of the video and manifesto than introspection into how this slipped through in the first place. I suppose in a country where carrying a weapon for the purpose of self defense is considered a crime, something this terrible shattering the illusion of nanny government protecting you requires a whole lot of deflection and ultra maneuvers to secure the next election cycle.

I suspect this is what is hoped but how are users actually using the service? As a mediocre backup service? File sharing with friends/family? Just to ship data conveniently between a bunch of devices that often share the same lan?

The last use case can be served as well by syncthing which can sync unlimited TB of data between devices for $0 per month.

I often make small changes to large files, so this matters to me. Does iCloud or anyone else handle changes this way, or just Dropbox? I’ve used Dropbox forever, but it feels like more of a commodity these days, and I’m finally paying for iCloud storage.

I was a Dropbox subscriber for over 6 years. However, I stopped paying once they stopped supporting Btrfs and XFS... the two FS I use on most of my machines. I still have a basic account on a Mac and iOS but I don't use it much and I have moved my most important data somewhere else.

I know there are hacks to make it work with other FS but I can't trust hacks with my data.
It seems like the OP doesn't use Dropbox's killer feature, which is seamless and faster syncing than anything else out there.

I don't see the point then of using Dropbox exclusively in such fashion. All cloud storage services used like that are interchangeable.

You're right, but peer pressure gets to you and one need to stand for itself.
How many people have more than 3 devices to sync between anyways?

I bet normal use case is to sync between desktop, laptop, and phone.

And I'm sure now some people will comment how they use Dropbox to sync stuff to their whole extended family for some obscure reason and that is fine. Then the free version is just not for you.

For me it seems to still work like it used to.
Time might not be too hard to define (relativistic effects aside), but the problem is days and years. The reason for inserting and removing seconds is because the rotation of the earth is NOT static and precise. It changes so seconds are added and removed to keep the day from drifting.

>Try to find if you have sleep apnia, or get 8 hours a night.

Both of these are great suggestions. Up until I was about 26, I occasionally would get in trouble for falling asleep at work. At one job, I had to start around 0700 and it got to the point where I was frequently falling asleep. My boss talked to me about it (one of the kindest managers I've ever had) and she suggested I get checked out. I had previously just thought I was undisciplined but it turns out I had sleep apnea and I was only getting about 6 hours of sleep a day on top of that. I thought you could get used to it but it really isn't enough for most people.
Tangentially related, but I find it pretty frustrating that websites can detect private browsing to begin with, when all I really wanted is to not have a browsing session leave a trace on my phone/computer when I'm done.

It doesn't help that on iOS, deleting browser data is 4 menus deep, and there's a bug that keeps surfacing allows this to happen: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1128887578541797376/pu/...

Worse, deleting browser data turns off private browsing if you previously had it enabled.

Wait, what? Is content shadowing now ok with Google?

I always thought that content presented to Google bot should be very very close to what user see when they click link. And if not, Google penalize website hard.
Has that changed?

I mean, if rule still stands, than news websites will show up in search results with keywords "subscription" and "article". Instead of "USA" and "brexit".

If content shadowing is ok now, that gives spammers a free ride.
We heard he cites Anders Breivik's manifesto in his own (i haven't read them) so the domino effect of self-radicalization is what concerns them i think.

There is no such thing as "device type" in BLE. Any device can implement a number of profiles, and the list can change at will. A few are mandatory like GAP and GATT, others are optional, like battery profile, U2F, or custom fw update channels. Limiting profiles used or changes to that list would break many use cases (eg: DFU over BLE)
I guess so, yeah. Free parking is a tax on everyone, but especially the lower class. This happens because the extra space needed raises the cost of goods, of adjacent property, and so on.

D's destructors are not deterministic, IIRC.

> using unsafe for graphs or dealing with use-after-free array indexes for the alternative workaround, unsafe Drop implementations, doesn't look hassle free to me.

Valid points, but these are rare problems in idiomatic Rust.

Specifically avoiding graphs by structuring code into a tree of ownership, has greatly improved architecture of my programs, to the point that I just do it like this in all programming languages I use.

Rust made me realize how many problems objects carelessly cross-referencing each other (especially in OOP) - "because there's a GC, so why not" create.

Similar with array of indexes - great improvement both in usability and reliability. At least all use after-free in that case is checked and fails deterministicly. It makes my data with graph-like, or relationship properties resemble relational database.

For problems with lifetimes in destruction all I needed so far is https://crates.io/crates/dangerous_option . I actually wish it was part of language (a nullable types, panicking at runtime).
The hard case of syncing files between OS is one they are already handling what they deliberately stopped handling was any other filesystem on Linux other than ext4.

This actually doesn't make much sense as logically they ought to be depending on an abstract interface to the filesystem not a particular filesystem unless the filesystem in question actually lacks features required to make the software work.

This is actually so because it actually did work for years across a wide variety of filesystems. I was syncing files between one machine with ext4, one with zfs, and my android device without difficulty.

This is perceptibly to the user like websites that used to check to see if you were running internet explorer and auto fail if you were running firefox. It actually works if you fake the user agent.

Humorously you actually can work around the problem in the same fashion.

You are missing the point. Imposing tariffs is a way to force other countries to follow some rules. But if your own country doesn't follow those rules, what sense does it make? And that's the situation here, because the 3 largest CO2 producers are US, Russia and China, naturally, because they are biggest. But China actually invested heavily into solar and lowering their CO2, such as electric buses, while US left Paris Accord, rejected Green New Deal, started more oil drills and did a bunch of other things that actually increased their CO2 production. So if anyone should impose carbon duties, it's everyone else around US to force US to start following the rules.
