Sure, but there still is a huge difference in the way staff deals with it.

When my daughter of three weeks old was in the hospital she needed to get some checks at night. Some doctors would walk in with a little flashlight, do the checks and leave the room without waking her up.

Others would switch on the ultra bright hospital lighting waking up the little one, only to do checks which take 10 seconds but kept my daughter up for hours.
Kerning in general seems off in many examples. Either the webfont lacks kerning adjustments or that part is a bit unfinished.
Yeah, so much so that as an international student, I would be weary accepting an offer from Yale knowing they don't provide CPT.
It seems so ad hoc. It's not really design when one just papers over a very specific shortcoming.
People in for a suspected heart attack should get bacon, right? I was at a place that did it. That is either an assumption about what heart attack patients like to eat, or it is an effort to get repeat customers.

Those are all things which do not differentiate Firefox from Chrome. They're focusing on that as well, but Chrome will never be able to copy their privacy-enhancing features, because that's Google's business model.

But there's a difference between a public ICO and a public IPO: the ICO doesn't require transparency of the account, doesn't give legal ownership of the company's capital shares, and doesn't give a formal right of voting on classical issues, like electing a board member.

The ICO is a way to raise money out of chumps without giving anything in exchange, but it's not more efficient, faster or better in any way than an IPO. It's just shadier.
though I think [selinux] doesn't support restricting all callers of a binary

It can, in two ways: the current context (say, user_dev_t) needs execute permissions on the declared type of the executable (say, git_exec_t), and additionally, you can declare a type transition to be performed per calling context.

To keep with the git example (I admit it's a bit contrived), you could label your .git directory as git_repo_t and deny access for both user_t (normal user context) and user_dev_t (user dev context). Then, you can define a type transition as above (user_dev_t -> git_exec_t => git_t), and allow only the context git_t access to git_repo_t files. With this setup in place:

- git, as called from within user_dev_t works as normally

- git, as called from user_t, has no defined type transition so will try to access git_repo_t under the user_t context, which will fail.
In the short term yes. In the long term, i'm not so sure. If no revolution take place in China, they might come out stronger in ~20 years.

[edit] Also this trade war is gold for the propaganda. While the wealthy/educated people don't buy it too much, it helps Xi and his government with the "mass", thus strenghtening his power.

I think ElastiCache is available in pretty much all regions https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/... and I would say this is the direct "competitor" to Redis Labs?

I'm not saying it's trivial, but if they managed to support it across several AWS (and GCP) regions, then I'm not sure what's stopping them for expanding to others. I would imagine it's more of an ROI issue rather than a technical limitation.

In any case, I don't mean to diss Redis Labs. Quite the contrary. I'm keen to see them expand to other regions so I can use their services.

Cryptojacking is a well-known, major problem for cloud compute providers. Catching and squashing new exploits that allow people to create a fresh account, run up compute bills and then abandon the account without paying is very important.

My guess would be that this is such a well-known problem (within the field of cloud compute at least) that they just didn't think they had to state that normal crypto mining by paying customers is completely fine.

I agree. I think they are focussing too much on backwards compatibility here. Java made that mistake in the last decade, hopefully Go does not repeat it.
Do you know what differentiates your business?
It's a licensing thing yes. Current bash's are GPLv3, zsh is MIT.

A pity they didn't make a structured output shell rather than traditional regex scraping but their main concern is compatibility, and zsh fits nicely.
You may want to address some of the comments upon your twitter app, if your going to promote it as an achievement. Though appreciate that it was last updated in 2014, so API's being as they are - change over time and would explain the aspect that it doesn't work now.

But amazing stuff and self-taught is kinda how many get into coding. How I got into IT back in the 80's. The aspect of bailing out your parents, that is something to be extremely proud of and a life achievement anybody can respect.
> Github is just a pretty interface with bells and whistles. I think more people should go self hosted. It's cheaper, and none of the features are truly needed.

Maybe none of the Github features are useful to you in how you use it, but I find Github the most productive way to work with a distributed dev team that I've ever found by a large margin. It's an amazing system for productivity of large dev teams and a dream to work with if it fits your use case.

The biggest feature for me is the whole Pull Request flow with integration between filing the original issue, the code changes to fix it with inline code reviews and tracking everything through to a release all with a few clicks. And all of it is in a format you can link to in an email or drop into a chat, even referencing the specific lines of the diff you care about. It's really an amazing system that most of us take for granted.

Different people have different needs. And for a lot of people, git itself is just the (excellent) engine but really they want a whole car.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything. It's just what comes to my mind when I picture the Valve of today upon reading OP's comment (playing dota in the office).

There is perhaps a wrong side of 65, but I don’t think there’s a wrong side of 30.

I met my wife when I was 34 (married when I was 39) and I can’t imagine anyone I’d rather spend my life with. The only downsides are we’ll be a little older than average at college graduations, will be tired helping out with any grandkids, and are unlikely to celebrate a 75th wedding anniversary, but the game is far from over.

You’re not even to halftime yet... The grass is pretty damn green on your side, too.

> A CEO has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders - The CEO is supposed to act in a way he believes benefits the shareholders.

To the shareholders or to the majority of the shareholders? If the latter, he can literally do whatever he wants (as he's the majority shareholder).
See also the "continue" statement in C/Go/etc for something that does the opposite of what the word suggests.
It's trivial to add an .mp3 (or, as I prefer, .m4a) to iTunes and have it sync to your phone. And that's really the model: files of certain types are handled by certain apps (on the mobile device and the computer, respectively), and sync is handled by those, as well. It makes things very simple, convenient, and consistent, and allows for rich metadata, without having to deal with the filesystem (which is really not good enough for that).

> I'm sure if she only ever used an apple computer with apple's itunes software always running on it,

That's not required. Macs come with iTunes, and on a PC you can install it. An iPhone is not a hard disk, but a computer with its own operating system, and you need dedicated software to communicate with it, imagine that.

> and no one else but her ever used it,

That's not required. You can have multiple accounts on your Mac easily, and you can also share music by putting it into a shared folder and creating respective libraries, which manage the metadata (rating, last heard, etc.) for each user independently.

> and she paid for every piece of media she ever put on her device by using the itunes store

That's not required. Most of my iTunes library is ripped from my old CDs (when iTunes came out, the motto was "Rip. Mix. Burn."). You can trivially add audio in a variety of formats (and if a format is not accepted, transcode it using eg ffmpeg).

> any deviation from that very narrow 100% apple-everything set up

Well, as outlined, it is rather special circumstances that make it cumbersome. The fundamental assumption, though, is that you get media from your computer to your mobile device using dedicated software, and I agree that that's problematic: not so much the "dedicated software" part, I have no beef with that, but you should be able to add an .mp3 or .epub to the respective library on the mobile device directly. I hope Apple addresses that without destroying the ease of use and powerful metadata we have now.

Saying "they removed my life's work" when you has a local copy of it is, at best, intellectually dishonest.
Maybe don't use this try if you want more detailed info on specific errors? It's for using where you would use if != nil return err not in every instance. If you try to use it everywhere it won't work well.

I use Bear. It's basically like Apple Notes, but more fully-featured. In particular, it uses markdown (more or less), and has checkboxes you can use for todos.
Rather surprisingly this allows you to modify the style as well. Not sure anyone's ever used that before.
Why use both Notion and Standard Notes? I use Bear, but have been vaguely thinking of moving to Notion.
Yes it is. It's just extremely frustrating that even though people are aware of how powerful marketing is, that no one seems to acknowledge its effects on themselves and on society.
Marketing doesn't create value, it redistributes existing value by creating an illusion of added value. The reality is that it takes value from a large number of small players and gives it to a few large players; and this has nothing to do with the true underlying value of the products.
This is certainly following the path of JavaScript Promises which do, as you say, end in exceptions.

It would be nice to skip directly to `try func() error{}()` and avoid that specific pain.

I'm no Windows fan, but Windows 10 is the first where I don't actively hate the window manager. Well, I do hate how it keeps moving all my windows to the left side of the desktop. Not sure why that is happening. So I guess I hate something different about it now.

The understaffing is because decades ago the AMA decided to limit the number of doctors. The AMA is run by doctors. Good for them for having power to run protectionism but I'm not going to thank them for it.
lazyboi is a bash script which makes it fast and easy to send raw HTTP POST requests to servers, for example to send some JSON to an API end-point that you are developing on your machine, or to send some test-data to an API that you are integrating with.
Using curl for this purpose from the commandline can be cumbersome if you have multiple headers that need to be specified, or if you are submitting complex JSON data. Doubly so when you need to make changes to the request headers and the data. Editing long commandline invocations; no bueno.
Several great tools exist for interacting with HTTP APIs. But sometimes those tools are overkill and you just want to submit some headers and data, and to tweak those headers and data a little bit all in one place in raw form.
That is what lazyboi lets you do – it embeds a raw HTTP request that you can easily edit with your favorite source code editor, and which you then submit to the server by running the script. Edit and run. Edit and run.
The README shows an example embedded HTTP request and contains instructions on how to use the script and how to install it.
Doesn’t really fit into the posix compatibility bucket though. If that hadn’t had been a concern then I imagine fish is the most Mac-like shell out there.

It means that it’s good to have a backdoor you can use, it’s bad if your enemy can also use it. So the moment NSA pushes you to patch it’s because it’s no longer exclusive to them so the backdoor is no longer an asset but a liability.

Yes for Graduate Web Developers, but they might not be graduates or even have any qualifications at all. We'll most likely end up paying more than that average but we don't want to discount or discourage anyone from applying. As mentioned before, it's from £18K, i.e. that's the lowest we'd offer.
This should be put into perspective: The default vimrc configuration file disables the modelines option and contains a warning that it is a security risk.

I.e. this likely only affects a small number of users and the devs have done as much as they can about a risky feature: Off by default and whoever changes the option should know about the risks.

Of course it's still a valid vulnerability and it's good that it's been found and fixed. But it's likely not a big deal.

You may be right, but you're making a very strong claim. It's not obvious to me that it's correct.
Funny you should mention RPC because of course RPC was all the rage back in 1993, with the heap of garbage they called DCE/RPC.

To this date, this is the only network protocol I have ever seen that not only allowed you to choose the endianness you will use in the header, but also the floating point format.
I can recommend the GRML ZSH config to go with ZSH https://grml.org/zsh/

Is there any news on if apple is keeping python 2 and/or adding 3 by default?
Yeah, until one realizes that most Go error handling is a mix of

- Parsing error results inside strings

- if .... else boilerplate

- Underscore everywhere to silence them

- Abuse from panic, aka exceptions in disguise

If you want error handling without exception's guesswork, there are checked exceptions (used for the first time in CLU 1975), and result types (used for the first in ML in 1973)

Both without the ceremony that Go shares with Algol derived languages before exceptions were a thing.

Rob Pike and friends surely do know a lot about what programming was like at that time, but they are also very opinionated on what they impose on others.

Just because they have a very good career, it doesn't make them always right.

I tend to think for myself and not from opinions of others.
There are two kinds of generalists - those who think they are and those who actually are.

The distinguishing feature of the latter is that they are polymaths in the making, a journeyman polymath if you will. They have sufficient depth in multiple fields and produce works that demand attention, whatever that might be. The former, on the other hand, is just a bits and pieces guy living in delusion who doesn't know anything beyond elementary knowledge in his "fields of expertise".

To use a cricketing analogy, since 'tis the season, people like Richards, Tendulkar and Kallis are true alrounders (generalists) whereas people like Robin Singh, Madan Lal and Andy Bichel are just bits and pieces guys who are useful on that odd day when specialists and generalists are having a bad day.

Yeah, and in ten years they might get $14, which will just give some extra profit to their creditors when they file for bankruptcy for unpaid medical bills, or be captured in a civil forfeiture. And if somehow they managed to keep it and actually save a couple grand, that just means they'll become ineligible for SNAP and lose much more in benefits.

People play the lottery because it represents something more than slaving yourself to make scraps. They are not stupid, and know the system is design to keep you poor, and that hoping to escape by amassing a few bucks is almost as delusional as expecting to win the lottery.

When you are given medicines and examinations has more to do with shift changes than anything else.

For example, many doctors write prescriptions at the end of shift and neglect to put a specific time to administer on it. The nurses are then required to use the time the prescription was created as when the medicine must be provided, which is often a very inconvenient time for the patient.

If doctors received adequate training in how hospitals actually worked, in what nursing staff does, and in how they can best interact for optimum care, many of these problems could be resolved.

In the hospital you rarely get patient centric care. Instead, you get institution centric care.

This guy's channel brings up a lot of interesting points:

The issue I have with Powershell is it's full on objected oriented. Personally I'd like something in between. Structured data where the "methods" are the utilities themselves.
This article is a fairly standard hit-piece, of which there are many that follow the basic form:

Valve Bad; Epic good!

There has been an incredible quantity of these PR efforts over the last 6 months as Epic has tried to push that narrative in to the public conscious (and has managed to do so, I would expect this article is a result of those efforts rather than directly paid spin).

However, it's still the same regurgitated untrue nonsense points from Epic PR we see everywhere else:

Steam lazy, makes no games. Not Epic! Massive hit Fortnite!

Steam does nothing to validate quality, noble indie developers "drowned in a sea of dreck" - not like Epic's hand-curated marketplace!

Standard "child with parent's credit card" bogeyman evoked regarding Valve, with it's "abusive capitalist mindset"

Valve is a "monopolist platform" (it is not).

Valve's take is a "substantial cut" - not like Epic, which offers "a generous split".

And so on.

Of all these, the one that riles me up the most is the doublespeak rewriting of the meaning of the work "monopoly". Valve is not in any way shape or form a monopoly. Epic is literally purchasing exclusive monopoly distribution rights for numerous games, and then raising prices of them.

I suppose this won't be the last "Steam Bad; Epic Good" nonsense I see as E3 fast approaches. I am looking forward to the Epic Games sponsored PC Gaming Show!
> The article discusses violating TOS, not a billing issue.

That's not the impression I got. It sounds like the issue was that a account with misinterpreted payment history was showing bitcoin-mining-like usage patterns. Mining is not against the terms of use, they were just erroneously convinced themselves that the customer was not going to pay for it.
