Not all bugs are equal, especially when it comes to security bugs. They may range from "oops, I forgot to check an array bounds" versus "the entire implementation is fucked due to a bad architecture and we have to rewrite from scratch to fix this".

I'm stating this with no judgment on either OpenBSD or MS. Ive used OpenBSD in the past, and I've a lot of respect for them. I also work in a heavy Windows shop, and I appreciate MS's desire to fix issues while maintaining backwards compatibility. Doing so for MS often involves horrible hacks when 3rd party software relies upon either undocumented internal APIs or broken APIs. Prime example is the current battle with Win10 and anti cheat software causing green screens.

Cold Outreach Works: My Formula
(Assuming you're asking for clarification/confirmation.) Well, some will represent bad/unwise practices, and some will be prudent Bayesian corrections. My prior is that most cases of reversal are the former, but you'd actually have to analyze the past evidence and the decision-making procedure to tell.
> modules (never had a problem with GOPATH)

I actually fall into the opposite camp. I never felt comfortable with GOPATH, but found modules extremely natural, perhaps because it's somewhat analogous to how NPM works: go mod init -> nom init; go get -> nom install...

liquor licenses can be exorbitantly expensive (I hear $300k+ upfront in SF), plus increased recurring costs to comply with regulations; I'm sure authorities understand that establishments which serve liquor are more profitable in a vacuum, so they are likely to try and take a larger cut.

There's always an exception that proves the rule. I'm sure, though, if you could provide an explanation like this and then provide and walk them through some already-written code examples, that would also be acceptable?

I'd take someone who says "I can't live-code while talking about it, but here's an example of my code and I can explain how it works" over someone who tries to BS me.

It doesn't force others to enter into a public arms race with you. It's something you can do completely under the radar indefinitely. Of course the per unit cost of aircrafts will go down when you don't need to account for the safety features, and performance will go up dramatically, and the enemy will never know that there is nobody in the cockpit.
Honestly the best way to watch baseball at least is to mute the TV and turn on the radio—vastly higher quality commentary, and you can look up in time to see the play you just heard. The ads also tend to be more local and less obnoxious.
oh, I thought ESPN+ also was doing the commercial licenses. They might handle the delivery now, but yeah, it's Joe Hand still that does the negotiation.
>"The number of apps in its Windows Store had dwindled to 13 percent of the 1.1 million offered in 2014, the company said, and it needed less bug testing from Lionbridge, according to a January 2017 memo obtained via a FOIA request."

Nothing to do with Windows desktop or Server.
I would completely agree with you if I believed in the premise that it's OK to own an idea.
Radiolab had a really cool episode on this recently (02/28/2019).
Part 3 of the episode 'Asking for a Friend' starts at 34 min mark:
https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/asking-friend

It's really cool.
I’m not really very facile with excel, but one place it’s really handy for me is situations that combine manual data entry with computation.

A super simple example is keeping track of monthly bills when you have flat mates, and need to split them every month. It’s not so critical that I feel the need to version control it etc, but it’s still nice to have a visually inspectable record. Even though I spend most of my days writing code, anything I can dream up that involves python or whatever just seems unnecessarily opaque and baroque. A spreadsheet is ideally suited to the task.
Or they just think “Tableau, Salesforce, data lakes, ERP, identity management, and "cloud" infrastructure each seem like useful tools if implemented smartly.”
Cool. One thing I hated about my Econ minor was that so much of undergraduate economics education assumes conditions which are never true. It’s like studying aerospace engineering and only introducing air resistance in graduate school.
The difference big data/data science/empirical study and 'classical' economics (by which I'd include any system of economics that seeks to explain human behavior via an underlying metatheory) is that a primarily empirical approach obscures the necessary underlying theory present in any experiment where you're trying to fit data to a curve.

For example, when you run a science experiment and you plot the data, you may find that you're looking at a line. While this is an interesting finding, it has zero predictive value for anything other than the exact situation you've collected data for. In order to formulate scientific law, you first must (a) believe that such a thing exists and (b) have some theory as to what shape the curve ought to fit. For example, a naive look at physics using an 'empirical' approach might incorrectly conclude that force is mass times acceleration. While moderately useful for many problems, this offers little predictive power in the general case. In order to actually formulate a law that can be of predictive value, you have to first consider various other laws and axioms (such as the constant speed of light for force), at which point -- by deduction, without any need of empirism -- you determine that this is wrong, and you need another kind of equation to fit your data to.

I don't know if the simplistic demand curves drawn in the original text book are correct or not. However, at least those are based on a particular set of assumptions that can be validated or not. The kind of empiricism put forth by Mr Chetty does not offer this at all.

All this is to say that, while data is useful for validation, it is not useful for prediction. The last thing we need is a black-box machine learning model to make major economic decisions off of. What we do need is proper models that are then validated, which don't necessarily need 'big data.'
This is great news. The only blocker is lack of FK constraints. I know this is a performance issue, but it's a blocker for those expecting it to behave like MySQL. We have a lot of bad queries (unfortunately) that rely on constraints for correctness. It's too dangerous to do any migration that eliminates them without at least a reduced performance setting to warn about violations that we can run for a month or two before committing 100%.

It pains me to say this, but strong ties to China company-wide will likely mean my org never adopts this, fk constraints aside. A victim of the trade war? Yes. But many of our clients are strictly "no Chinese vendors for libraries or dependencies", even if the data is on our own servers.

I'm not sure if anything can be done at this point, but building an isolated US based org would help immensely with adoption. The cap table also being mostly Chinese investors is enough to stop most US companies at the DD phase
That will make no difference. Free will or not society will still impose rules you don't like.

Or look at it this way: if the universe is fully deterministic and we have no free will then what's the problem if a criminal goes to jail? It's not as if it means anything, and it was all pre-determined, no?

But the real answer is that we neither know for sure whether the future has been pre-determined, nor could we predict the future if it were, and we do not know if we have anything like free will, but we at least have the illusion of free will, so we have no choice but to act as if we do.
That situation devolves into violence against people.

Visit Seattle: there's needles all over the city, trash strewn everywhere, and mounds of human feces.

Society can't exist with feces on the street and strewn out junkies throwing trash around public spaces, because people are willing to use force to keep that away for their children and themselves.

If leftists genuinely value the ability to help people, they need to check their toxic empathy, before the leftist desire to seize property "on behalf of others" brings them into armed conflict with people protecting their families.

At the time it was written, there was a good chance that the person reading it would not be doing so at a computer. Their computer access was quite likely via a terminal on a time sharing system, that they had to share with others. They couldn't hog a terminal while reading a book and typing in examples from it.

So books of that day where written so you could learn a lot just from reading the book and thinking seriously about the examples, and working out the exercises in your head or on paper

It helped if every couple of days or so you could get some computer time and try out the things you learned, but it wasn't actually necessary. In the case of K&R, you could go through the whole book without touching a computer, and then one or two sessions afterwards trying things out could be enough to correct your misunderstandings.

I wish more books were like that today. Nowadays, they assume you are a computer all the while you are reading the book, and often depend on that when writing the text.
It has those survivability advantages, but it has nowhere near the loiter time of the A-10.

Flying at higher altitude is also not necessarily safer - it puts you out of reach of MANPADS, but in clear view of larger SAMs. Evasive flying generally involves nap-of-the-earth flying, which hides from larger SAMs in radar cover and provides MANPADS and AA artillery with short engagement times. The A-10 is also built heavy and robust enough that MANPADS often aren't enough to bring it down - only vehicle-mounted or static air defense systems have big enough warheads.

If anything, the problem with the A-10 is that it's overbuilt. Its cannon is built to take down tanks in an era when air-carried cannons probably can't get through modern tank armor, and is heavier than is strictly necessary for an anti-infantry role. The air force is looking at much lighter planes like the A-29 and AT-6B for low-threat environments, but could perhaps field a plane with similar loiter-time and survivability characteristics to the A-10 with less weight wasted on that ridiculous cannon.

Good morning," said the merchant.

This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need for anything to drink.

Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince.

Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant. "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week."
And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?"

Anything you like..."

As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.”

SOX doesn't actually say much about IT at all. It says mostly that you need internal controls to maintain the integrity of financial information. Anything more specific than that, around IT, is just someone extrapolating out what they think a good set of internal controls are.

Mostly when you hear "because SOX", that person has never actually read the document.
A fair point, and honestly I wasn't even thinking about my posts one way or the other. But yes reddit's thread quality is unfortunate. The writing on the wall here in a similar sense is actually why I'm trying to make things expedient and delete it now so I don't have old things to look back on or any compulsion to come back.

And seriously, I'm guessing many users here have password managers. Eventually one sees it and gets curious. I'd rather just avoid the imminent depression.
I have less than great communications skills but have had great experience pairing with people who have good skills. Eg to give corporate seminars we both go onstage and the partner will structure the talk and interrupt me/clarify if I blur over something/watch for the audience’s reaction.

As a parallel, maybe journalists should pair with subject matter people (even subject matter generalists) rather than have them as “sources”. There are of course people who are great at both things (your Nate Silvers) but the whole process might be cheaper and more efficient if, gee, the New York Times would have a couple onstaff PhD economists (not star columnists) that sit in the newsroom trying to give shape to the facts about to be reported, side by side with journalists.

The longevity of network stuff is a stronger argument for simplicity.

The cost of being wrong in the direction of excess complexity is higher than the cost of being wrong the other way. Layers are added, never removed. A deficiency can be fixed by adding something. A misfeature or ugly hack is a boat anchor we lug around for eternity.
The FizzBuzz challenge is not aimed at good coders. It is aimed at bad coders. Assume you are in the hiring seat. You need a simple and quick way to find out if the person is completely B.S his resume, so that you can move to tougher questions, or end the interview.

For instance, if you said you were a skateboarding pro on your resume, the first thing I would ask you to do is an ollie.
Point is, once you are certain of your superiority you dont even need to act on it. The mere threat is sufficient. That is why nukes are so powerful in preventing global conflicts.
The Chinese and Russians seem to be going for intermediate-range semi-ballistic missiles (i.e. with terminal guidance and maneuvering), China in particular focusing on the anti-ship role and seriously worrying the US Navy in the process.

The world was outraged at one man dumping 100 tons of iron sulfate into the ocean?
Where was the outrage at dumping 9.575 billion tons of CO2 going into the atmosphere that year [1]?
Where was the outrage at Exxon spending $12,970,000 on lobbying that year [2]?

The problem is the idea of one person geoengineering the climate. But we've been doing that unintentionally for decades already at an enormous scale. What would the response have been if a dump with the same material had happened, by accident, with no intentions of any climate impact? I think the world would be better off with climate vigilantes doing what they can to fix the climate than everyone passively waiting for world governments to act and behaving in incredibly confined nearly useless ways (like putting your plastic bottles in the recycling container).

GraalVM is nowhere near production-ready nor is supported by a lot of frameworks. Porting existing code is still a big challenge.
If configured correctly, sure, that's why I use one. I also realize that most random people don't have the technical savy to configure one to be anything other than effectively a NAT gateway.

The fact that something else can also provide that security benefit in no way means that NAT doesn't provide some security benefit. It does.
Indeed, that OpenBSD can succeed in 3 days, with an errata team typically between 4-6 people, what Microsoft as a company with well over a hundred thousand employees, is failing at 90 days. Doesn't explain that.

I think you grossly overestimate the ability of most large businesses to behave rationally form an organizational profit maximization perspective. It would just as likely or even more likely be something like personal wealth maximization by an employee or group of employees, personal relationship improvement, ego gratification, maintaining/improving social standing, effort minimization, etc.
