Your statement is both true and misleading.

The speed of the Earth's rotation is slowing over time. Therefore leap seconds are becoming more and more common. In a century, we should be averaging something like 1 a year. In 500 years, we should be averaging one every few months. And so on.

It took over a thousand years for the Julian calendar to fall apart. Our current timekeeping system will also fall apart eventually, and I would be surprised if it lasted as long.
If we had the power to require that, then wouldn't we also have the power to just not pass knee-jerk totalitarian legislation in the first place?

Of course by knee-jerk I'm only referring to the presentation. We know these things get drafted ahead of time, then sit around waiting for the right opportune tragedy to push them through.
Haha, that’s the way.

It's not only about file sockets. It's about your core abstractions. Thread-pools, channels, flushing streams, events and other stuff, unlocking Mutexes, auto-validating guards etc...

I have production or semi-production experience with code written in C, D, C++, Python, Go, Java, Node, Scala, Rust and others (please excuse argument from authority, but that's all I have right now) so I can tell the difference and I think ...

... people that haven't worked with Rust long enough greatly under-appreciate number of stuff that benefit from deterministic resource-like management - not only on system resource usage / performance side, but simply the day to day reliability and writing simple bug-free code with ease.

> not that uncommon.

That is my understanding as well, it is especially common to see this when a product is migrating from one framework to another. A quick google search turned up plenty of examples: http://tiny.cc/jmur6y, including Microsoft's tool specifically for this purpose: https://github.com/microsoft/angular-react.
It's just log, not log log. The chart generates from .csv hosted on the site [1] and the benchmark tools are all open.

The ptrace numbers are 20x and the KVM platform is actually lower than the Docker default case (though that doesn't mean everything is faster, as system call time is only one factor). As I note above, I think you're confused about what the KVM platform is -- it's not a VM.

The fear mongering against Huawei becomes really interesting when you look at all the "sorry, we forgot about that unintentional access possibility" incidents in Cisco gear that might either be back doors or lousy QA leading to security problems.
I don't doubt it, but at least some security is a side effect of that.
I like the sentiment but I don't like that it's blatantly lying to express it. Just because I'm walking right now doesn't mean I never drive. Or the reverse.
That's not really true, though, because killing something and being cruel to something aren't the same thing.

Isn't this the opposite of what the article says?
It is a slippery slope. For all intents and purposes we're accelerating down the slope.

The Orwellian nightmare you talk about already exists in countries like China. The naive presumption that the West will always support free expression is baseless. It will not unless it's vigilantly defended by Westerners. And once given up, liberty is not easily regained (see Venezuela, Cuba, USSR, East Germany, etc).

It's also worth noting that whoever holds power and is defending status quo (however benevolent or malevolent) determines what constitutes extremism.
Agreed, I was about to say the same thing. If it's their data (i.e. data the customer generated and stored on the service), and there's a way to validate that it's theirs (as it exists in the data store) based on information the customer provided, I'm pretty sure the GDPR requires deletion on request.

You can't really compare CH4 and CO2 emissions. They have completely different lifecycles and short term properties.

What is this gonna mean for my OnePlus
It's already viable to supply IPv6 only mobile with NAT64 (see T-Mobile US). I'm aware that many residential ISPs are putting everybody behind CGNAT; and there's some amount of push towards LTE for residential internet, so I suspect IPv6 with a transition mechanism is already viable for home connections.

Anyway, given the number of people who have effectively no choice in home connections, what are we going to do when the incumbent provides us with IPv6 only? LTE or Satellite is going to be even less likely to give me a real IPv4 address.
Your first point is definitely correct.

Your second point though... really? Do you have any sources for anyone, anywhere being charged for using ping?
Are hardware vulnerabilities so difficult to find and insidious that no amount of auditing and investigation by the US govt will ever be sufficient?
I recently read Refactoring UI by Adam Wathan, which goes more into detail about basic design principles in a manner that noobs can understand. There are also a whole bunch of examples and stuff. Highly recommended:

I've tried to eat at least more vegan and found it quite difficult. I can put some chicken, refried beans, cheese, and a tortilla in the microwave and have a satisfying, high calorie meal in five minutes. I haven't found a vegan equivalent yet.

These guys are supplying office space, like Regus etc, right? I don't see how they have a thing they can protect that is worth pumping so much money into?

Uber at least has ridiculously good worldwide mindshare on a 2-side market - everyone around the world has heard of them and it would be hard to compete while they are still around. Sure drivers can use multiple apps, but as a user I'll use Uber thanks. There is a reasonable gamble that they can win the market.

But office space is fairly decentralised and there are lots of options. I'm not exactly in a tech hub but there are plenty of funky nice looking casual office spaces around here, and a whole commercial real estate market where you can rent offices at reasonable prices too.

Where else would you want this imported? What other products do you use that you would wank your bank transactions in that you trust?
Nothing, unless your cellphone is part of the infrastructure of a telecom company.

For millennia, actually. They have been right a few times.
Buxfer (https://www.buxfer.com) has almost all of what you mention: import (can be automated via API), automatic pull from banks, multiple currencies, backup to cloud (although it's not a "backup and restore", it's backup so you can have your data with you in a standard format.)

All that shows is gee, it really can and really does happen.

Which is a stronger argument, not weaker for suspicious treatment of Huawei by Western governments.
The problem with common-sense as a guide for law is that it changes dramatically over time, and often over short periods. It also remains to be seen whether or not this will result in progress in the long term.

It's fortunate that we've been in one of the longest periods of relative peace in post dark age Western European history, but I don't generally count on that trend continuing forever. Making sure a government has significant enshrined limitations on its own power is important, not in the good times, but in the bad.
Thanks for the link! I've worked with Python long enough to be familiar with those beginner issues, just infrequent enough (and even more so for stuff that needs packaged) that I've never quite been able to wade through the noise.

Also,

> not because it's hard, it's really not

and then

> Give me a book deal, I'll do it :)

gave me chuckle. Because they're both true: it's not necessarily hard, and yet despite that it still needs a short book to really tackle the subject. That's such an out of place state for something related to a core component of Python.
I can't remember if I tried, but it's important that you get the exact data back that you put in, which is why JPEG obviously won't work.

BMP is the easiest to encode/decode because it's literally a bitmap of RGB, no fancy compression and such, which, if you're storing arbitrary data is obviously not necessary.

PNG was trickier, because of its "chunks" and generally more structure. And compression.
It's funny, the worst engineer I ever hired did great on our Codility tests. Maybe he just cheated, he actually scored higher than myself. Just a little anecdote but we no longer use Codility at my company. :)

"Wells are pretty expensive. Sure, the water itself is free, but the electricity to run the pump is not, and even at the frequently cheaper electric rates that rural areas enjoy, it adds up."

Having had wells... The electricity isn't the least of it. These things require regular servicing. Hopefully, you aren't unlucky enough to have it back up... which happened to my mother soon after moving into a newly purchased home. You need to watch the toilet paper you use because some are better than others.

Not to mention the need for a water softener in some areas. I've lived in areas whose water smelled of rotten eggs. This same water would turn hair and white clothing and everything else an orange shade.
Considering how crap the new keyboards are, you need a dock for the external keyboard anyway - and most decent docks have one or two card slots.

Without my Caldigit Ts3+, I would have probably sold this laptop two years ago.
This call is about 3 out of 4 of all phone calls I get.

Years ago the majority of my emails and phone calls became spam. Now it's the great majority.

The majority of people who knock on my door aren't yet religious proselytizers, but it's getting close.
>What these type of pieces never discuss is how much they think rents will be brought down by upzoning.

Sure they do. In an unconstrained market, prices will decline to the marginal cost of building one more unit. See Glaeser & Gyourko (2002): https://www.nber.org/papers/w8835.pdf
I agree, to a point. I'm not entirely opposed to Trump (or entirely in favor) but it seems if we're going to be stuck playing economic realpolitik with a country as nationalized as China this is a perfectly reasonable step. The US and its allies have not been particularly good stewards with the power they've held over the world for the last ~70+ years, but I shudder to think of what a Chinese controlled network backbone would do to things.

You can argue the West doesn't behave as well as it should on the world stage, but Western ideology seems to be the best hope we have for an eventual egalitarian future, although the human cost will still be high. The further we get from authoritarianism, be it left or right, the better, in my opinion.

Watching from afar, the amount of huge holes in Cisco are staggering. I don't really understand IT's love of Cisco, other than that's all they've certed in/invested in/never get fired for IBM mentality. For people in the networking space, what makes you use cisco for firewalls/core routing at this point?
I've been getting a bunch of sketchy post cards about extended warranties using wrong language about my warranty just expiring on a car I purchased used (9 years old, 50k miles, 3rd owner according to CarFax).

The topic was the no-GC no-runtime niche, which necessarily requires brilliant programmers, and they are stuck with C++. They would welcome tools to represent their resource control well, borrow checking or deny capabilities.

As a current C++ programmer who remembers what GCC 2.95's error messages looked like for even simple templates, I second you - it is less about the intellect, and more about experience and enough domain knowledge. But quite a few like me work on large C++ software that is not in the no-GC no-runtime niche; modules, good abstractions and native compilation would be enough to match or likely beat whatever we are putting together in C++, which doesn't even have modules yet - and the GC-based conveniences would be a big icing on the cake, so D, Nim, Pony all look interesting.

I'd agree with basetop, I'd rather live in a world free of censorship and "full" of extremism.
I don't really see the fear mongering or problem here.

This executive order would forbid the government from purchasing and installing Telecom/Networking equipment that would be considered to have a higher than acceptable risk.

Given that China isn't exactly the most friendly nation to the US, and given Huawei is by nature, an extension of the Chinese Government, it's not unreasonable to assume China might at some point in the future (or already is) use Huawei to conduct electronic espionage against other nations.

Just like it wouldn't be unreasonable for China to forbid purchase and use of Cisco equipment within the Chinese government.

(We should also not forget or excuse Chinese IP theft which has enabled Huawei to produce competitive products in the first place...)
The negcon wasn't bundled with RR4 though, at least not always, my copy only came with the RR4 and RR1-60fps remaster.
Here's how it works:

Straight from a Data Scientist's Jupyter Notebook (or batch job):

om.models.put(model_or_pipeline, 'sales-prediction')
=> http PUT /api/model/sales-prediction/predict

om.datasets.put(dataframe, 'sales-data')
=> http GET|PUT /api/dataset/sales-data/

Any data scientist can do this in seconds. Imagine what your whole team can achieve in a month.
That's why the signs should use the alternate phrasing "Keep right except to pass". Usually, I only see these on two lane highways.

Alternatively, "keep left lane open for passing", which I have seen on overhead electronic signs on 400-series freeways in Ontario.
I'm not a trained designer, but just looking at the screenshot in the readme:

- The orange and the purple are both very bold, non-standard colors. Using one or the other makes sense as a way to draw attention to important things and give the tool personality, but having both together is a little grating. Perhaps the orange should be replaced by red? This would also be idiomatic in terms of what those buttons seem to be doing.

- I think there are too many different shades of grey; the title bar, the main background, the white sections, and the category headers are all different shades. Also, something feels off about the color on the category headers. I think part of it is you have white text on a medium-gray background, which isn't quite enough contrast, but part of it may also just be the fact that those headers are darker than the "main" background color. On the other hand, it could look good to just use the title bar color on the category headers. Hard to say without trying it out.

- The transactions table could use a proper border all the way around (it's visibly absent on the top and sides).

- A clearer division could be made (a border line or just a bigger gap) between the "categories" and "transaction" sections, because it's not immediately clear what "delete all" will be deleting.

- The "delete all" and "add new" buttons aren't aligned with the left and right bounds of their section; also, there's no reason for them to be spread out so far. They could gravitate to the right, for example.

- Bolding the field labels below the word "transactions" would make it slightly clearer what purpose they serve, and vertical-aligning them with their respective fields would be slightly more pleasing.

- Making the gap beneath each "sub-category +" larger than the gap above it would help connect it to the table it pertains to.

How many extra lives are lost to obesity because children never learn how fun it is to move outdoors? Everything is so safe and non-fun. Of course the deaths 3 decades down the line are not attributed to overly safe playgrounds and overprotective parents and nobody gets sued. So there is no need to fix this...
If you wanna give it a shot, try the code I linked here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19916126

Although if Picasa (predecessor to Google Photos) worked with BMP, it may be better to do that because it's much easier and more space efficient to encode arbitrary data in than PNG.
Yep, the other way is easier (if, and only if it's short), it has simpler rules, less typing, and that's how I learned it and it's in muscle memory without having to stop and think or look at examples.
All Western countries have governments and are states based on the rule of law, and all place some limits on speech and expression. Even the US doesn't allow certain forms of expression, such as libel, slander, falsehoods, terroristic threats, etc. The West has therefore never supported free expression, just as it has never supported free markets.

We are already on, and have always been on, that slope. Yet not all Western countries are like China or North Korea, odd.

It's almost as if that slope isn't as slippery as some would have us believe.
I would say there's a significant difference between the chemical/biological danger from touching a material which appears basically identical to other safe materials and causes toxic exposure over time, and the physical danger from falling or being cut.

I want kids to learn that concrete is hard, and the harder you hit it, the more it will hurt. It's an easy lesson to learn, by trial-and-error, and transferable to many other situations. I don't want to make kids try to learn about lead poisoning by trial-and-error. They're not going to succeed at that. Even adults took 50 years of research to stop putting it in gasoline.
This may sound callous, but in a US population of 300 million, a few thousand of any lives is on the order of 0.001%. One of the realities of living in a world of billions of people is that risks of incredibly low precentage still end up happening due to just the sheer magnitude of people

To put it another way, lightning strikes are one of the rarest forms of death in the country, and yet still kill more people in the US than the size of my family's big holiday dinner

Not that I agree 100% with this argument, but it's the best I've heard.

With laptops, smartphones, earbuds, etc. they're not designed to be heard from across the room.. Or even in your pocket. Even when my phones on speaker across the room people will have problems hearing me properly. With Alexa, Google Home, and others, the microphones are specifically designed to hear you from a distance away, over music and other ambient noises.

Simply put, an Alexa or Google Home is a much more effective listening device.
AFAIK courts have established precedents that it has to be "threat of imminent harm" - so promoting violence is OK ("kill all XXX") but shooting "fire" in a theater isn't.

Streaming a terrorist attack doesn't seem to result in a "threat of imminent harm" I think - if anything, it could prevent harm (because the viewers could report the violence and police could prevent further violence).
