This is not a technology problem, its a process problem. Vast majority of submitters could be cheaply verified and for small number of potential spammers, there are several options:

1. Require submitter to be legally traceable and identifiable. Establish fines/fees for misuse of your property and charge their bank accounts for cleaning fees. Blacklist them for life.

2. Once a submitter is identifiable and legally traceable, charge exponentially higher fees for number of submissions unless they want to show up as chain business in which case charge reasonable fee for validation and background checks.

3. Detect and avoid autonomous mass submissions except for highly trusted entities such as big chains.
They have no problem. They don't even ask why you are returning it.
Same here. What shocked me was how willingly companies would provide secondary ways to access your account. I feel like if I was trying to gain access to an account I didn't own and was blocked by 2FA, I would just say that I had lost my phone.
The spoofing is probably so drones think it's a no-fly zone (since the GPS signals say, "you are now at one of the Moscow airports"), so there's less surveillance by amateurs. Are weaponized drone attacks a credible threat?
If it's going to break compatibility anyway, go big. I would welcome something like what Svelte did for v3.
For retail investors in a situation like this, it probably doesn’t matter. You would create a buy limit order at a price somewhere high enough that it’s likely to execute no matter what the price is doing, so the effect is basically the same as a market order.

The advice to generally use limit orders is good though. Rarely would a retail investor need a market order.

It will change some things for sure. But we’ve had compile-to-js languages for some time and they’re a pain. Compile-to-ws is better, but still has the same fundamental pain points (debugging mostly, and then browser compatibility).

By changes everything, you mean no large amount of devs will keep targeting vanilla html+Js and I just can’t imagine that future.

In the Google Maps app there is a button that lets you confirm/check-in your visit at a business. Also, you can confirm visits in the Timeline feature.

I don't know why those features are there or what Google is using the information for, but it seems like it could be used to verify businesses by crowd-sourcing.

It’s probably a drop in the bucket though.. I’m not sure if the expected number of ADUs would satisfy much demand.

Java and Go today are much better to work with than Java was in, say, the early 2000s, but to realize the productivity boost of a dynamic language within a statically typechecked language, you need type inference and a REPL.

You still don't get this with Java or Go, but you certainly do with ML-like languages (Haskell, SML, OCaml, F# etc.)

A lot of Haskell developers will tell you that writing Haskell feels a lot like a functional Python, and they use Haskell for scripting as well as application development.

I think ruby has a reputation for "fast prototyping" for a few reasons

1) readable (somewhat english-like syntax)
2) terse (short and to the point, no extra setup code needed)
3) meta-programming/DSLs

It still remains unbeatable for readability and terseness..

This is not completely true. The stars (and planets) provide for a very nice clock when viewed with sufficient resolution.

Google Maps is not optimizing for "percent of listings that were completely accurate at time of submission". That's how paper maps (and to a lesser degree, the Yellow Pages) mostly worked. There's a reason we stopped using them.

What Google's doing is harder and more nuanced -- they want to accurately capture the world as it exists around you right now. That means understanding what parts of the world around you you care about and understanding what level of accuracy (as opposed to promptness of updates) they should optimize for. Given Maps' extraordinary success as a product, they've done this quite well. But, yes, it has failure modes that users should be aware of and that Google tries to combat without compromising the main goal.
Google Adsense Approval Trick to Get Your Blog Approved Without Stress
I know a lot of people in the Ruby community tend to believe in using text editors with limited (or no) semantic understanding of the code. I've found that using, for instance, JetBrains Rubymine tends to make typos and related bugs apparent as they happen. Not to mention providing autocomplete that usually feels like using a statically typed language.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying, but it sounds like a kind of argument I used to encounter back in the day when trying to get people to pick Python over Java, to wit: there are so many more Java programmers than Python programmers, it might be hard to find people.

My response was, why would you hire a Java programmer who is unwilling or unable to learn Python?

In this case, I would hire a normal person who was good at Sudoku and teach them Elm before I would hire, say, a React specialist who refused to pick up Elm.
Do you have an article on this? I didn't know that was possible.
there's a million different things you can do. You can simply strip out all links. You can strip out links and only allow white-listed links, etc. Once the site has been vetted then it could be allowed to be clicked on. Or you can just have a big javascript alert box that said "Remember, you are clicking on a link that is unvetted and it could steal your credentials. Be careful." I don't know, be creative.

Anything that will wake people up and stop them from just blindly clicking on things. For a financial institution like Coinbase where a hacker could compromise the security of the entire company, it doesn't seem completely unreasonable.
I stand corrected, wasn't when I tried last time.

> Proof is hard

I would argue that it can be made much less hard. Vast majority of cases can be verified by online presence, phone calls, domain emails etc. Minority of cases, like locksmith, are not easy to verify. In those cases you impose proof of work. Meaning that those folks must perform extra work which makes it expensive for them to keep repeating. For example, you can charge them $100 to run third party background check, require them to give TINs and other LLC documentation etc.
Well there's one of this one, and one of the other one. If we consider them to be in the same category, I guess they would be equally rare. Maybe the deaf whale can be considered more rare because it has a Wikipedia entry.
The SR-71 also had an excellent clock on board.
Wow, I missed that one. The first several paragraphs make it read like something I need to sit down and give some undivided focus. Seems very well written.

I can certainly offer some anecdata to it. My family died 20 years ago with my grandmother. (Or rather it _really_ died when the question came up of who should care for my Alzheimer's-afflicted grandfather.) Before then we were a tightly-knit group; after, a rapidly unrolled ball of yarn. And as the only child of two divorced (since I was 2 weeks old!) and bitter parents, that was basically it for me. I'm occasionally in contact with a couple of my cousins, but largely I seem to have just ceased to exist to most of them.

Guess I fit the new statistic.
Their reputation for fast prototyping was established before type inference became a widely available language feature.

Duck typing is also a minor win for "do what I mean" generics - you never have to worry about the type specification being too narrow, just pass an object with the necessary methods and it'll work until it breaks.

If you find a good actors library, let me know. I've been using CL for 20 years and have not found a satisfying one.

[edit]

CL is in a slightly uncomfortable position here; scheme has first-class continuations, which makes implementing actors and async the sort of thing that could be an undergrad assignment, most other languages have a single source of truth (either with a language committee like C++ or with a one-true-implementation like Python).

cl-async is perfectly good for async.

Yes and no. It’s true that cleverly written tests encompass bad input, but this also means you need to add an additional layer to your test thinking, which depending on who is writing those tests might might yield results of varying quality... Or you could try fuzzing?

Yep. Current (graduating) student here. The math department is really incredible, going up to courses like Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra and Differencial Equations, which I’m taking.

I don’t think Apple cares about this. I tell them exactly what I’m going to do when I do it, and they don’t care.

You are right about the socket - ark.intel.com doesn't mention the socket for the two top-end parts. All others use the previous one.

It not really about the intent, but rather how the intent is perceived.

The reason to not use the N-word is for me identical to toxic masculinity. Most recipients and people who happen to be near won't interpret it in any positive way. Both are unproductive for meaningful discourse and leads to a hostile environment. Since people who use those term is usually well aware of the reaction, it must be assumed that it is the speakers intention is to cause harm.

No. It's generally never worthwhile to re-write anything. But one should not fall prey to the sunk cost fallacy either.

I personally feel like I need some time to play with this in the context of my own projects before truly passing judgement. My initial reaction “seriously, wtf?” Personally, for me, if Vue can remain the simple, compact, non-dependency hell that is React, I’ll take whatever they do.

My big question is how does this approach scale, and does it need a more fleshed out set of helpers, a la the mappers they have in the current API. Won’t really know until I work with it. Would also love to see how this approach works into, for example, Vuex.

Tests don't catch all bugs, even well written ones. Infact if tests could catch all bugs, you'd be able to write a test to determine if any program halts (!).

Now let's look at the nature of programmers. What mistakes are they most likely to make on a regular basis? Well they are human, and they are whacking these big fingers at a keyboard. Maybe typos? Also programmers are bad at spelling, from the source code I've read.

Now could a unit test catch all typo-led mistakes? Well I doubt it. Not for a big program with 10's of KLCs.

Does typing help? Yes - and I'd say typing speeds up programming by allowing autocomplete of code (because of less er... typing as in the finger kind). Since the IDE knows the type it can help you find the write method.
So how do they make money bidding on those keywords?

Assuming a 20% conversion rate, which is probably very generous, that's £150 per customer. Is an average plumber call in London many times more expensive than that then?
We have no reason to believe that is the most likely case. It's simply the least surprising hypothesis. This is an important distinction to make.

Unfortunately we'll never really know until we have studied more extra-solar visitors, which may not happen in our lifetime.
Also, this seems like the kind of change that would greatly benefit from some automatic code rewriting tools a la go.

Questions for developers who were or still are cannabis users
Do you still smoke, are you able to go without it? Do studies showing decreased IQ and memory retention concern you? Why do you smoke or why not? I feel as though most of the projects posted on this site are not by daily tokers.

This is my personal story:

Throughout university, I smoked daily. It was what we did, and got to the point where I smoked to get homework done. I slowly became a lite drug addict. When I graduated, I quit for 4 months, got a job, continued use for a good 4 months then quit again. It's been nearly 5 months since my last break. I no longer have to quit for a career, and I'm pretty tempted to give back. However, I worry about the effect it will have on my work ethics, social abilities, and consistency in personal care. On the other side, without it, I find I drink more, so I really dont know what to do. I found physical activity helped obviously, and I have been slacking lately.
Demo is pretty much useless, all that happens when someone clicks on your example links is it shows a password prompt. You're going to have to give a much better teaser of your site if you want anyone to actually register for your site. I'm certainly not going to waste my time registering for a site where I have no idea what it does or how well it does it. There is a reason why sites spend time explaining their products to people. That time is important.
And then the murders began...

1) Wages are taxed, not work. If there is no money paid there is no tax evasion.

2) Unpaid overtime is not really unpaid unless your employment agreement explicitly states that you are not supposed to work more than 40 hours. If you get paid $100k to work 50 hours, then you are getting paid $100k to work 50 hours, not $100k to work the first 40 and $0 to work the next 10. Your comp is payment all the hours you work, not just the first 40.

I've had many conversations about toxic femininity. It's a different thing, and often refers to learned helplessness or a victim mentality. But that's not what's happening in this case. Toxic masculinity is a cultural norm that requires men to be tough, to be providers, to never admit weakness, to be capable of everything that a "normal" person is capable of, and push the limits as well. And although it's called "masculinity", both people in the scenario described above could easily be women.

I think the simplest explanation is that once people have put down decades worth of roots in a place, most would prefer to stay, no matter how many millions their house would sell for. I think for most people the upheaval of leaving all your friends, acquaintances, family, local culture, habits, patterns of living, and your very home behind far outweighs even a eye-opening property value. You'd need a damn good reason to leave, so unless you're forced, you'll stay.
