This is well appreciated. I was recently shocked/surprised, after running a netstat, at the number of open network sockets. Even worse, stopping all apps with netguard, still lets 'system' open a connection to GOOG's servers! This is absolutely horrifying; I wonder what kind of data big brother Google has on me and billions like me.
Protection against most popular hacking attacks for beginners
My takeaway from this is that there is no active attempt to influence the direction of Go to fit Google's agenda and that's a good thing. However, active influence isn't necessary to shape Go's direction and functionality. Probably the best example of this are the twin canker sores of GOPATH and dep. Anyone who has wanted to develop multiple projects in isolation has run into issues with these two and the way that they work-but-don't-really. For Google, this doesn't and will never matter because use of blaze / bazel is assumed and any problems relating to GOPATH or dependency management were likely addressed eons ago.
It's now free to unlock on most networks (not EE) during contract, and MUST be free once the contract has ended.
Agreed, I think the nuance here is that in compsci terms "speculative" tends to mean "ok, so I can prove that architecturally that this is 100% possible. I simply lack (either) the labor hours needed to write code (or) the hardware/money resources to get this in place" within the bounds of infosec these types of proofs are taken very seriously on the principle of "if I figured this out with my shitty home lab people with serious resources can't be far behind" additionally responsible disclosure in this space generally means that originators of vulns usually get an undisclosed first shot at fixing problems like this and they only get published wide in this way when the fix is so serious and will require so much time that companies disclose them to avoid being held legally responsible for fraud at some later date.

Exactly, another balkanization of discourse soon to be brought to you by social media.

In response, the rich and exploitive can even develop special regimens to increase their rapaciousness or reduce shame.
Agree about the covers. Also, as I'm flipping through the pages, I notice that the advertising copy is quite engaging. I wonder why today's typical paper magazine lacks that playfulness.
Most people (self included) can barely figure out what "justice" is going back 10 minutes. That is why we have judges and juries--not as a solution, but as a mitigation.

And here you have it sorted out for generations! Ponder that very carefully.
That's like saying "the politicians all made up their own minds being in favor of the new pro-corporations law" - the fact that 99% of their donations came from the corporations that benefit from the law is "irrelevant."

Nonsense. You don't even realize there is an underlying bias when you get paid by someone to do something.
I think the older Radeons only support 4k@60 over DisplayPort though, HDMI support for it is relatively new.
Does anyone have a list of smart career options and career advice for people that fall in to this camp (or resources that help navigate)? It's really really hard to chart courses that don't seem to eventually bump up against the accumulate power or falter hurdle.
Ceteris paribus, a blocked service is better than no service, yes. But (1) VPNs exist, (2) decentralisation is surely not so infeasible as to rule out evasion of various blocks, and (3) the government might even decide to prioritise scientific development over absolute political control. (Certainly it seems that the scientists within the party are agitating for freer access to foreign papers.)

It sounds like you're missing probably the most important part of agile which is "at regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly".

In Scrum, it's retrospectives.

Continuous improvement is a theme that runs across agile, scrum, lean. Without giving feedback, how are you going to improve?
You can see from the list of names in the article why those schools are dropping on-campus programs. Some of them are prestigious institutions, but not for business:

- University of Iowa

- Wake Forest University

- Thunderbird School of Global Management

- Virginia Tech

- Simmons College

There aren't many people out there thinking, sure, I'll go into six-figure debt so my LinkedIn can say I have a Simmons College MBA. Simply put, if your on-campus MBA program isn't likely to result in a six-figure job right out of the gate, it's not worth the cost.

And those six-figure jobs only come about if big, rich companies (banks, big 4 consulting/audit, big tech) come on campus to hire MBAs. If yours is not a Top 15 MBA program, you may be better off career-wise by staying at your current job and pursuing professional certifications related to your field.
Maybe to avoid the ambiguity we could use the terms "political power" and "personal power."
I think it's motivated reasoning. People don't want to write them and it's difficult to put yourself in the mind of someone else and try to anticipate what issues they could have reading your code. You understand it, it seems obvious to you, therefor it doesn't need comments, which just so happen not to be enjoyable to write.
>I am normally an introvert and I am somewhere between bad and okay at small talk because it bores the hell out of me, but I hold my own perfectly fine in conversational settings.

I have the same problem but I suppose I come off as an asshole to a lot of people because I can't be arsed to take interest in something that bores me. I think it equally (or even maybe more so) disingenuous to pretend otherwise because people can tell when you're faking it. This isn't a "fake it until you make it" scenario.

There are some people I catch easy strides with and have kept in touch with, years later - without having Facebook or the like. Those are few and far-between, though.

So, to my point: How do you hold your own perfectly fine in conversational settings if it bores you? Any tips you can provide?

I haven't any id
I would say it's tacky so much as a deliberate euphemism.
I'm working on a design of a system that does almost exactly this. I'd also be interested if anyone else is working on it. Where you can not only trust sites but individual people too.

The core issue I've come across is that it would make cults happen more easily.
Not saying anything about Go necessarily, but Google being behind a technology doesn’t exactly give me a warm and fuzzy that it will be “supported for years to come”.
Had just finished reading this article when I came across this post: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/stalingrad-va...
In my book, “Hello?” deserves no answer and I'm very fine with whoever sends that not willing to send me more emails.

The previous emails might deserve an answer I just haven't had the time to send yet, but for otherwise equally important emails, the one from the most annoying / disrespectful sender will be handled last, if ever.
You'd decide who you trust.

Well, from a legal perspective Google sure seems to own it:

Poverty has already been hacked in many developing countries with capitalism. Capitalism is a system of generating Capital. So it can bring money into circulation. Wealth is created and given to the poor so it can be taken away from them to be spent into the economy. And so economic activity and spending create a churn that drives out poverty.

Professed capitalists sometimes forget this motivated by wealth hoarding and greed. Professed socialists and communists don’t understand this as they don’t consider capital as a resource like any other.

Capitalism is the hack. It is the only system that creates a renewable resource unlike labour or rent or any natural resource.

However, as consumerism has been felled by exponential population growth thereby straining fixed non renewable resources and toppling the balance, capitalism must hack itself to create a consumption society not reliant on fixed resources and parallel’y population must drastically come down for adjustment.
> Rich Hickey's conflict with the Clojure community over overly biasing Clojure towards Datomic's interest

I’m not sure I would describe it that way. I don’t know of anything in Clojure language that is biased towards Datomic’s interest (or Cognitec’s). The conflict was about Rich not having enough time to consider/review/accept changes to the language core and declining to relax acceptance of such changes without his sign off. It’s a problem and it doesn’t sit well with some people in the community, but it really is very different from your accusation.
In order to understand why power is coveted, we need to understand human motivation. The best theory I've read on human motivation, comes from Drive. As described by scientific research, once you go beyond our primal need for food, safety and companionship, there are 3 primary factors that motivate us. Mastery, autonomy, and purpose.

Mastery is the ability to master and perfect a craft you care about. This can most likely be achieved without having power over others. No problems here.

Autonomy is exactly what is described in the article. The freedom to avoid being micromanaged. On the face of it, you don't need power over others to be autonomous either.

Purpose, however, is a lot trickier. If like the author, your purpose in life is simply to engage in the arts, you're all set. You don't need power over others, and you won't understand why anyone would want that.

But suppose your purpose in life is to save millions of lives, like what Bill Gates has done with his foundation. Or to help all Americans get universal healthcare, like what Sanders wants to do. Or to help mankind become an interplanetary species, like what Musk is aiming for.

It is near impossible to fulfill such purposes without wielding power. Either political or economic or cultural. There are some purposes, even the noble kind, which can only ever be accomplished by shoring up a lot of power.

To go one step further, a lot of people try to fulfill their life purposes through their jobs. They want to help people, and so they work at a non-profit. Or they want to further scientific progress, so they work in a research lab. Which is great, except that by becoming a cog in a powerful machine, they are surrendering their autonomy in the process. They find themselves having to choose between autonomy and purpose. Regardless of what they choose, they fantasize about having enough power so that they can have both. They dream of being rich enough to start their own non-profit, not just work in one. They dream of heading a research lab, not just being a cog in someone else's.

People like the author are in an enviable position, of having their cake and eating it too. For others with a different purpose in life, power is the only way of having the best of both worlds.
Intel just announced the i9-9900KS which has 8 cores all 5GHz. That should be top single core perf.
The form of freedom he describes is just another form of what he's calling power, and he even admits to that in the article, when he writes: Freedom is the defensive, or pre-emptive, form of power.

I have recently come to the realization that a lot of people seek or defend "freedom" as another form of power, and that is a very egotistical definition of freedom that has a lot of the same anxiety-inducing side-effects as the most vain power-seeking behaviors. Being free doesn't mean that you can't also yield to others and get over your selfishness. We should all have times, maybe lots of them, in which we yield to others and admit that many instances of our own personal notions of "freedom" are basically a whiny temper-tantrum when we fear not getting what we want.
What does it even mean for it to be "supported for years to come"? It's not a web service.
I think this is bad advice, yes there is a performance hit but chances are any eventual malware (which lets be honest if it doesn't already exist is being written as we speak) that exploits these vulns will in its execution probably impact your system with a negative performance hit.

The "don't apply the updates" argument in security is basically philosophically comparable to the antivax movement
Powell's Technical Books in Portland also served that purpose for me. I discovered useful things from scanning the shelves that I wouldn't have stumbled upon through directed googling. Their current selection at the main store is much smaller and less productive to browse.
Thanks. Well if we assume "arbitrary haskell compiler" means GHC and stack (or just stack), "make install" will compile it. But yes, there will be much downloading, unless you just happen to have all those haskell libs cached locally from previous builds.

"stack install hledger" would compile just the command line tool (not the curses & web tools), so less downloading.

For end-users who want minimum downloading/building, we recommend one of the binary packages on the download page (nix, docker, homebrew, windows/wine), but that's not you I think.
ah the OG king of HTPC/Media PC Graphics card. I used to have one in a HTPC paired with an Intel Q6600
el.insertAdjacentElement('afterend', other) seems a way more intuitive than $(el).after(other). I don't code JavaScript yet the meaning of the first is intuitively obvious to me while I can only know what the second form does because you've told me.
Multi armed bandit algorithms have been used forever to optimize ads, websites, newsletters etc.

Here is an article from 2013 that describes Googles Multi Armed Bandits algo integration into Adsense:

https://www.cmswire.com/cms/customer-experience/google-integ...

The first time I stumbled across the term "Multi Armed Bandit" was when I read Koza's "On the programming of computers by natural selection" in 1992. When I later got involved in e-commerce projects, it was immediately clear to me that this was the way to tackle the involved optimization tasks.
Security consultant here.

The fact that Golang has no generic is a huge thing. I've read countless amount of code that abused generics (unfortunarely developers think they have to use generics all the time if they are available) and is probably completely insecure for the simple reason that very few people manage to audit/understand the code. If it generics could only be used when necessary, yes, but there are no technical way to enforce this.

Gofmt is the second blessing. All codebases look the same because it is not customizable. This makes reading Golang code and understanding it fast as hell.

The GOPATH is also a huge win. You always know where everything is and it is really fast to figure out about dependencies or structure of the project.

What I'm saying is that in my years of security consulting, Golang codebases have always been the clearest ones to read and have always been the most secure ones.

I feel like a lot of the negative perspectives are given from the writing point of view, but the reading perspective is clearly a huge win for Golang.
It will be possible to create a bridge bot, between e.g. GitLab and GitHub, through their API to synchronize PRs, issues, commits, etc automatically. So this particular problem is solvable.
That's a entirely reasonable position; those pigs are more useful as entertainment than food, by a rather large margin too.
I’d take it even further. If it’s not a top 5 program then you’d really really have to think about if it’s worth doing at all.
Binary files can be rewritten, too.

To check that the first N transactions in a file weren’t tampered with, you have to either compare each transaction with a backup, or hash them and compare the result with the hash you got earlier.

If, as I suspect, this ledger is append-only, both are fairly simple. If the ledger, say, had 42 lines earlier, do either

head -42 ledger | diff ledger.copy

(I’m not sure that’s valid shell, but you get the idea) or

head -42 ledger | my-super-hash

and compare the hash with one you got earlier.

Also, some OS-es (e.g. Mac OS. See https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Sy...) have the notion of append-only files. These, too do not safeguard against somebody rewriting the entire ledger, but they can make it harder to do that tampering.

Finally, I haven’t thought it through, but possibly, you can create a user on your system for your accountant, set the owner of the ledger to that user, and make it impossible for anybody but that user to delete or replace the file.

If that’s possible, it even would protect against reinstalling the system. You could recreate your accountant’s user ID, but not with the same password, so your accountant would still notice.
Land usage per chicken, difference between free-range vs. intensively reared:

1/12 m^2 vs. 1/17 m^2

Consumer cost, difference between free range vs. intensively reared:

4 euros/lb vs. 2 euros/lb.

Does the difference in production costs explain the drastic consumer cost difference between these two methods? Why can't free-range farming be automated like it is in the intensive rearing model?
Money spent to support the maintenance of the language and standard library evolution over time.

I have used this util to configure multi-monitor layouts before cause it was my first time with using multi-monitors at all. Guys I need advice - what kind of stand do you use for your monitors?

Bugs exist in software that are not web services.
As a Chinese developer, my thoughts are:

Using technology/standard/service provided by US based private companies introduce risks. We are not just 'use/steal' these technologies/standard, we also heavily invest, enrich ecosystem, build services on top of them, that means if US government kill it at any time, those investments may lost too.

Based on my experience, Chinese government is so incompetent that it can't create an alternative, or initiate one, at least in the Internet industry, also China have to do business with other countries(other than US), so clearly create a private tech/standard stack is not an option. That means big companies like Huawei/Tencent/Alibaba/Baidu will start/continue to support&invest more in true open technologies, like linux/risk-v, perhaps favor true oss communities rather than google/fb owned oss projects(like android/arm/tensorflow).

Companies in countries other than China and US should also think about this risk, today US is banning Huawei, you may think it's all because China is evil, similar things happened for Japan 2 decades ago, and may still possible for India(if its population and GDP growth rate continues).
I would love to see the shellscript equivalent! :))

Not sure what you're implying here.
That it'll still be useful in 20 or 30 years.
I've been planning on giving Erlang/Elixir a try, but we are very reliant on serverless and managed cloud services (like SQS) and I get the impression that managing a cluster of worker nodes for Erlang/Elixir would be too much work for us, since we would have to manage the servers, security patches, plan its scaling, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong and it's not so much work in the end. Hoping for some feedback.
Basecamp supports Rails. Ruby is mostly developed by a community of Japanese developers.
hledger power users (AFAIK) import most entries from CSV downloaded from financial institutions. I have this scripted to run nightly from cron, so the new entries are there awaiting finalisation when I open the journal in the morning.
Could you provide some examples of condos of similar age and location that are clearly so luxurious they shouldn’t exist vs. those that are okay?
I’ve made the decision to not bother with international diversification beyond US and local (Canadian) indicies.

Why?

Non-US countries usually don’t have diverse stock indexes. You’ll have their big telecoms, their big banks and a few other industries. A lot of their big industries will be owned by multinationals anyway, and the smaller ones are private.

The US large caps provide tons of international diversification, with a lot less paperwork and withholding taxes.

Google, Apple, Facebook, McDo’s, any oil company, etc. have large amounts of foreign revenue/branches, even in countries without a stock market that you could buy on.

If anything, US investors have too much international diversification when they buy US large cap indicies.

If the US economy does well but the rest doesn’t, US stock market returns will be poor.
I think in this context, supported doesn't mean "will provide regular updates and tech support" but rather "will continue throwing enormous amounts of developer resources and put its institutional influence and weight towards the improvement of".

It makes sense if you think about it: how many companies adopted Go because they saw that it had Google's name on it?
The Zen+ APUs should be out soonish. Can find plenty of information about the Ryzen 3 3200G and 3400G, but no release date :P
Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and Rust are three large open source projects that do not require a CLA. That said, I do think you're correct that these days, it's in the minority.

Node had a CLA, but it was removed in 2014. It does have a "Certificate of Origin", which you claim is the same as a CLA, but I beg to differ. The issue here is that CLAs generally require you to reassign copyright; the Certificate of Origin does not. That's the part of CLAs that the OP is taking issue with.
Having a Sense of Purpose Helps You Live Longer
It would be more correct to say Google hired the leader of Python and he worked there for 7 years
You might also consider that there are orders of magnitude more stars in our own galaxy than lines of code in any system built on Earth.
I'm referring to the executive branch. Less populated state representation in one branch does not negate the need for it in the others. The founders (wisely imo) left national proportional representation to a single entity, the purse-string holders in the House.

Removing the electoral college removes the incentive for a presidential candidate to campaign to most of the states.
There is a difference between success and happiness.

Living longer if your happiness depends on living longer is not an improvement. We can live longer and healthier than ever before with minimal effort. Why is nobody happily enjoying that instead of desperately searching for ways to stretch out a few more years? It's because there's something fundamental they haven't found yet and they are afraid of running out of time before they do.

Nearly everything is about ego and fear of death.
Why are you horrified at a design that works well, scales well, is resilient enough for its use case, and is low cost? The whole point of an engineering design process is to find designs that meet these types of requirements. Honestly, this sounds like the perfect solution for what you're trying to accomplish.
Yehuda Katz said something a while ago that stuck with me. He likened Ember’s community model to Postgres. That is, relatively small levels of support from lots of different organizations. I think there’s a lot of wisdom is such an approach.
