Should be more highly rated than government bonds... wait, what? In no way would you ever say that a government is less secure than Facebook.

I predict that not only aren’t governments worried, but they will crack down hard on Facebook. In fact, if it ever happens I will personally write to the Australian Consumer Competition Council and ask them to make sure they don’t try third line forcing (forcing people to only pay with Libra-bucks or what they are called). EBay and PayPal tried that, and got smacked down very quickly.
Integrating DAST into CI/CD
You do know that most of the world isn’t like the UK.

Money transfers between countries in particular poorer ones is absolutely not a solved problem. Neither is accepting money for products/services in countries where not everyone has a bank account or a credit card. And there is rampant corruption in many places as well.

Even a handful of these are enough to make the effort a success.
Solar wind is a type of solar radiation. I thought perhaps a charged field of particles with an outward force could act at least partially as a shield in for some higher frequencies of electromagnetic waves.
There seems to be a very distinct difference between employee classes. Management and high value tech employees are treated very well while moderators, gig workers etc are treated as "human resources", quite literally.

It seems to me that they put companies like Cognizant between them and the exploited workers to deflect criticism as "we didn't know, we've been told by our partners that everything is great".

And on a technical level: if true, how can it be that FB needs the same videos and pictures to be moderated over and over? Are they not using any form of content id? Is developing such a system more expensive than running content moderation sites and then swiftly firing the burnt out moderators?

At what point do you become complicit if you're working for Facebook?
A little while ago I played with the idea that if the masses were convinced that breaking up Facebook (or Google, Amazon, etc) was a good idea and that it eventually happened - the surviving BigTech "shrapnel" would be less capable to stand up against a government seeking information or control over them.

A paranoid and overly Orwellian idea for sure, but interesting to play around with!

I can relate to this, and feel the same way about hardware, like an iPad or PS4. That's why I almost exclusively buy from vendors that take returns regardless of the reason; like Amazon, Steam and Apple. Now the full product is the demo and I can't remember the last time I spent money on a product I didn't want to spend money on.
It's pretty much a thing that happened in the last decades, when building materials and standards became advanced enough that noise became a serious issue.

Nowadays codes and trends - at least in parts of Europe - caught up, and soundproofing has became important through the process. (For architects/engineers, developers/builders and buyers/renters.)
why is either wrapped in eithers in your example? That feels like wrong code to me. Wouldn't it be Either<(MathError|IOError), Result>, and you pattern match the error or result?

Photon-photon collisions are still technically possible... I remember a professor mentioning this as one question he got in grad school... draw out the Feynman diagram and you see a vanishingly small probability of photon-photon interaction.

But yeah. Ionized particles like Galactic Cosmic Rays can be repelled by the local stellar magnetic field, but mostly the lower energy rays are deflected. Higher energy -to-charge-ratio GCRs can punch right through the weak stellar magnetic field, just like do for our Sun’s interplanetary magnetic field.
There were many reasons that led to me deleting my Facebook account in May, 2018. The fact that the platform is a magnet for the absolute worst of humanity and then employs and exploits people in such an inhumane and cavalier way to filter the garbage out was high on the list. Get Zuckerberg to do the job for a few hours and see what he thinks.
Pre-release gameplay is primarily there to fuel the demand for pre-orders. As I mentioned in a previous comment on this article, this is a vestige of the days where limited supply of video games was more common (due to physical media shortages, unknown demand, and the desire to have a bit of word of mouth and exclusivity drive some of the marketing) - with digital distribution for practically all games, unless you want a super special limited edition, there is no reason to pre-order - wait for the game to release and watch some YouTube/Twitch of the game and make up your mind, as you have said.

If the creator of curl doesn't consider this to be morally grey action by Google, I won't argue (though I do disagree).

But I reserve the right to be mightily annoyed by the confusion that any partial implementation of the library and CLI tool will cause.
Good idea. I can see the potential this can have for motivation... often enough you (I) just need a tiny nudge to push you over the edge and just do it. This sounds like it could do just that.

Tiny offtopic nitpick: In the title and on the page you write "everyday". Written as one word, it means "ordniary". What you probably want is "every day", which means "each day".

> Every keyword adds complexity to the language

Easily refuted observing that you could strip languages of many of their keywords (for example replacing for and while with if and goto), and you'd end up with less readable code. Keywords are often added to make languages simpler, at least because they declare the intention of the developer.

Otherwise, Brainfuck would be the least complex language to write code in.
I meant when I'm not using react
In my experience the opposite is true.

I've been able to introduce the BEAM in a large company (where I work) but the barrier has been they don't know it, they know very well the JVM and they don't care about the language if it can produce a runnable jar.

I would really use the JVM more if I could program it in Elixir.
> I've been trying to convince my boss that 'nine fives' is a perfectly acceptable target.

Unless you can force people to use your crap or your competition is barely working, it's not really acceptable. A typical customer has pretty reliable internet connection during normal operations and only rare long outages. Meaning that any unavailability and unresponsiveness that lasts more than a few seconds will be pretty visible and annoying to customers. And assuming your competition can do three-four nines, you'd need like four-five nines to do better, which is actually five-six nines as a target.

Coming from the fighting game realm:

>The group of scrubs won't know the first thing about all the depth I've been talking about. Their argument is basically that ignorantly mashing buttons with little regard to actual strategy is more "fun." Or to be more charitable, their argument could be that the game becomes less fun if they use tactic X, or character X, or whatever. That might be true temporarily until they figure out how to beat whatever it is, but ultimately the experts are having a more nuanced exchange, more opportunity for expression, for clever plays, for smart strategies, and so on. -Sirlin.net
I should have been more clear in my question. Solar wind is a form of solar radiation, and I was curious about the effect of solar wind + the magnetic field that carries it would have on some frequencies of electromagnetic waves.

I would expect mid-frequency radiation such as visible light to remain largely unaffected, I was thinking more about its effect on high-frequency extra-solar radiation. And it's likely not correct to visualize this as individual photons colliding but rather wave interference.

Here is an article explaining the effect [0]. An excerpt:

"The interplanetary magnetic field, which is embedded in the solar wind, deflects low-energy cosmic rays from us at the outer reaches of our solar system, decreasing the flux of these cosmic rays that reach us at Earth."

They say Rust support is blocked by having no RISC-V backed for LLVM, and no Rust Gcc front-end. But I thought there was a working Gcc front-end, just without the borrow checker, which is superfluous for code generation. Maybe it is for an old version of the language, and can't build the current library?

Appreciate you taking the time to write about this. Noted your feedback. It’s great thank you.

(Sqreen Ruby engineer here) Since the agents execute inside the application/service, we have full context of the operations going to be performed (e.g whether a fragment of a SQL query a) will be executed and b) comes from user input). Therefore we're not basing detection of contextless patterns and any false positive/false negative of those classes of attacks is deemed a bug.
Thank you for understanding my question before reaching for dismissal :)

I knew low-energy waves are partially deflected, I just wasn't sure about high-energy waves. Makes sense!
> pretty strong indication that their API will not be fully compatible

If the compatibility problems are from an incomplete implementation of the API, it will simply be an inferior inferior implementation, perhaps optimized for different uses or environments.

However,if the incompatibility is from an extension of the API introduced after initially embracing the de facto standard set by te widely-used original implementation that is outside their control, it will be a clear example of the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish[2] method. The canonical example of EEE is when Microsoft introduced an incompatible "security feature" in their implementation of Kerberos. Hopefully, Google won't do the same thing to HTTP with a new and supposedly-important "security feature" in their re-implementation of libcurl.

Cloudflare's Ethereum Gateway
This was a valuable article to read.

Facebook is enormously valuable. They made something like $15B in net income in the last four quarters.

Content moderators are a necessary condition for that profit. If kiddie porn, gore and animal cruelty flooded the network, it would cease to be a destination visited by people that advertisers will pay to reach.

And yet, there are two sets of entry-level knowledge workers at Facebook: engineers ($150k/year, benefits, upward career trajectory) and content moderators ($30k/year, no benefits, likely going to acquire mental illnesses).

I understand the arguments about supply and demand of labour, but I'd have more respect for Facebook if they demonstrated awareness of this issue. The article talks about moderators re-evaluating the same piece of distressing content that they've already flagged. Why? I suspect because the moderator is cheap, and so Facebook isn't putting in the effort to ensure that every judgment needs to be made the minimum number of times.

More so than salary, I suspect Facebook considers the moderator cheap in terms of reputation risk. By outsourcing to contractors located offsite from main campus, engineers aren't thinking daily about the absolutely horrible stuff moderators are seeing, and so the one group doesn't impact Facebook's ability to hire engineers. This is a guess - can anyone at Facebook speak to whether engineers are aware of the working conditions of moderators, and agitate to improve their lot?
I would also add my (admittedly limited) experience to using CDNs in this way. If you do add the subresource integrity attributes (which a lot of major CDNs don't support because they change the content based on user-agent), you should be prepared for when that check fails, which might mean your site doesn't work. It's certainly more secure than loading malicious scripts, but if you're JavaScript heavy and the CDN loaded library is integral to your site working, then a malicious actor could still do some harm.
I do this in ClojureScript (an actual functional language with macros to sugar this type of thing) and it's really not a good time. Do it if you're cornered like we were but we're moving away from it.

Couldn't violence (both towards animals and humans) be detected in an automated fashion?

Especially screams in the audio should be fairly easy to find.

Then block those videos by default, with a manual appeals process that sends it to a moderator, combined with a big warning that submitting videos against the TOS will get you suspended. Of course this could lead to people submitting videos without audio, but this will always be a cat and mouse game.

Or is FB under legal duty to review potentially criminal content?
>why'd you divide 400 by 3M? the article says, per your quote, that there were 400 american deaths per year. but 3M infected americans _total_. there is no per year qualifier on that part.

Because it's a hack article. From https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/history.html the numbers are annual. I remember seeing the 1/1000 number were of the reported case (ie, hospitals) - almost everyone use to get the measles before they were 15 and most cases were not reported.

> also you forgot to address the part about:
>> One in four people who get measles are likely to be hospitalized

Sorry - you're right. That's such a complete, outright lie - I guess my brain didn't even register it. As I mentioned - almost 100% of the people use to get measles (see CDC link). Clearly not 1/4 of them were hospitalized.

>i don't know about you, but i'll take a vaccination over a hospitalization in most realistic situations i can imagine.

Then you should learn about some of the stories of people that have been damaged. You can either read some of the reports from VAERS or watch some of the personal story videos from the VAXXED youtube channel.

Note - I'm not saying VAXXED is science.. I'm not saying their conclusions are right.. Yes - the stories are anecdotal - but these are real people with stories about how they had a healthy child and then after one or several vaccines, they didn't. You can listen to some and say.. "well.. that's a stretch to say the vaccines caused this". But you should listen to some of them.

It's a much messier story than the media, CDC or the pharmaceutical companies would have you to believe. My point is not that we should not vaccinate, but that should be informed and take the risks and benefits into consideration (Data-Driven/Led). The current approach overplays the benefits (by exaggerating the danger) and underplaying the risks.
The universe will end one day. The outcome will, ultimately, be identical.
In a strict language (call-by-value semantics) the notion of a Monad makes no sense and degrades in merely a sum-type (an either-of algebraic data type).

There is absolutely nothing "monadic" in an ordinary either-of type with functions (which will make it an ordinary ADT).

This is spot on. I do quite a bit of DOCSIS engineering work and this is a very good explanation.

It is going to vary quite a bit depending on your MSO and location but the "neighborhood" in modern DOCSIS deployments is getting smaller and smaller with Remote-PHY and N+1/N+0 deployments. What was traditionally 200+ customers on a node is shrinking down to much smaller numbers (dozens vs hundreds).

One guideline that is often thrown around is that the node will have at least twice the bandwidth of the highest speed tier and capacity is often added in excess of that based on usage and node size. You can also get fancy with dedicating channels to specic packages, so some of that bandwidth might only be "shared" with other customers on the same tier service as you.
Personally I spent most of my learning curve on the BEAM facilities rather than Elixir itself. Elixir as a language is simple and fairly imperative, it's quick to pick up.

Using the language for data transformations and such is a breeze but learning the concurrency primitives, message passing, OTP tooling and behaviors is where the real work is in my opinion, when building distributed systems on top of BEAM.
Some government bonds. For example Argentina's government bonds are currently rated B/B2.
This argument doesn't hold with me, because while try-catch is very clear in what it does, the exception-/throwing/ mechanism is not. Try-catch is only useful insofar as you know exactly what you're trying to catch. Anything else is basically undefined behaviour; a jump straight to your catch block from anywhere in the application, as far as your intuition is concerned, a far cry from the controlled nature of loops.

No. Already filters fuck up way too much and restrict perfectly legal content.
The chips used in the hifive board are not available for sale anywhere. They're apparently a one-off run for the hifive board specifically.

Yeah, that's also a possibility.

I don't see the utility when JS already has an option type that's deeply integrated into the language: promises. The one advantage I could see in a hand-rolled option would be forgoing the extra event loop ticks used with promise resolution, but then you're limited to writing synchronous code.

In other languages, I normally use option types when things can fail in unexpected ways, which almost always means I/O.
I guess similar to how a chemical lab might use compounds that are illegal in the wild or a pharmaceutical company holding classified drugs.
That you can exchange something for other currencies doesn't make it a currency. Currency is defined by its use as a medium of exchange.

Non-redeemable purchasable tokens could meet the definition of a currency. Conversion can be facilitated by exchange between users, rather than by the issuer. In this case, the issuer's sale price only sets an upper bound on the exchange rate.
