A couple weeks ago someone posted a link to a real time re-creation of the apollo 11 mission. It's amazing watching videos of everyone in that room, listening to the chatter on all the radio channels, and seeing pictures scroll by from the moon, all in real-time. It does an amazing job bringing you behind the curtains, almost like you're a part of the actual mission.

>According to a report by news agency Bloomberg, engineers of Indian companies were involved in the development and testing of the software.

I don't think that is "targeted"... could just be a fact. How at fault they are is another issue, something like this is probabbly the fault of a lot of people.

>Indian tech is the favorite whipping boy for any issue that goes wrong

I'm having flashbacks to when I worked support and the outsourced support folks would complain that the domestic support team only complains about their tickets because they're Indian (never-mind that a large % of domestic support were Indian) ... and then in the same breath would say we can't blame them for closing tickets too early because we didn't tell them they had to make sure the problem was solved before they closed the ticket (or that they had to communicate with the customer at all...)

Right? This is EXACTLY what I want to see when there's a service disruption.

A live, in-depth view of who is doing what, any new leads on the issue, multiple teams chiming in with various diagnostic stats, honestly it's really awesome.

I know this can't be expected from most businesses, especially non-open sourced ones, but it's so refreshing to see this instead of the typical "We're working on a potential service disruption" that we normally get.
> This kind of Orwellian double speak is amazing. Lack of tax leaves too low prices for the consumer!

The point of the tax is to tie the costs of externalities (pollution, climate change, etc.) directly to the usage.

Not taxing fuel means the population as a whole winds up subsidizing the air travelers and their impact on the country.
you can increase playback speed. 1.1..1.25x speed is usually OK in terms of ability to understand the speech while saving several percent in time. Sure, the transcript would probably require significantly less time to read and is my usual preferred way to consume content, but when none is available the faster playback allows for saving at least a fraction of time.
My original suggestion was envisioned as a 3–5 minute explanation.
The points you bring are certainly interesting, it seems to point to the fact that we are distributing healthcare very inefficiently and I would use this as an argument for government-run healthcare.

Here is the conspiracy theory presented with no examples:
>Inevitably, the income will be real income [inflation adjusted] and the prices nominal prices.

This is what I take issue with and I don't think that a comparison between real nominal prices happens in order to trick people. This seems like something high school student wouldn't get away with.

It was fun writing this blog post because the API covers a lot of ground in terms of what can be done programmatically with the configuration. I've wanted something like this for integrating into a CD pipeline, for example.
Mockery? Hardly. The real intention was to use an analogy to prove the absurdity of the comment. I’m sure plenty of Ram 3500 HD drivers consider themselves professionals yet have no need for a semi truck. Any argument for/against these machines that hinges on the definition of “professional” is inherently worthless because “professional” is such a broad spectrum.

I know plenty of professionals who use an 11” MacBook Air. Your definition of professional is not the same as everyone else’s, and it’s ridiculous to try to fit everyone else to your own mold.

Basically, stop using the argument “no REAL professional would ever...”. It’s a worthless argument.

At what odds would you bet that we won't see a quantum computer outperforming a classical computer on any problems in the next, say, 20 years?
I'd modify your metaphor slightly:

Government = The farmer

AI = Plant-based diet

Naively, everyone eating a plant-based diet is great for sheep, but it's hard to imagine a world where the farmer still feeds them.
You forgot nearly universal use of pesticides across the Midwest, creating a green desert with massive loss of insects, which also affects birds and other animals.

My opposition to wind turbines has more than one basis, and my concern for birds is separate but intersects with this concern. But it doesn't matter to those who don't live near any wind farms.
> The scheduled task to create the backups was still running and the run result indicated that the operation completed successfully, but Registry backups were not created anymore.

> This change is by design, and is intended to help reduce the overall disk footprint size of Windows. To recover a system with a corrupt registry hive, Microsoft recommends that you use a system restore point.

I suppose I can see removing the automatic backup feature to save disk space, but what is the argument for silently pretending that you're backing up?
That is not a good defense of covertly editorializing in an opinion piece.

Great journalism is more than just fact regurgitation. But most modern journalism would be improved if it was replaced with fact regurgitation because most journalists cannot distinguish between their opinion and objective beyond-the-facts reporting.
Air travel is massively subsidized too (airport construction, airline and manufacturer bailouts); as is highway travel (automaker bailouts, free trade supply chain, environmental externalities, health costs associated with driving and sprawl, plus gas taxes which cover only a small proportion of actual construction and maintenance costs).

It's difficult to do a true apples to apples comparison, especially when highways are also justified in part as a national security asset. But it's a little much to clutch pearls about subsidies for rail ("immoral", really?) without acknowledging how subsidized the alternatives are as well.
Really enjoyed a recent European rail trip but quickly discovered mixing flight and rail is problematic if the links between airport and train station suck
Maybe. But there was also a mass peaceful demonstration held concurrently (more or less for the same cause), the protesters waited till most of those demonstrators had left, or enough of them who left behind to support them, before action.

One really needs to look at the whole picture to gain some perspective on this recent "sudden" raise of civil disobedience in HK.
-Hail forms when "thunderstorm updrafts are strong enough to carry water droplets well above the freezing level," according to NASA.-

> you end up having to name things that don't really need names.

Strictly speaking namespaces don’t need names, either. But for medium to large projects they’re still useful, and enforced by the IDE.

> to imagine functions living in just a namespace, not a class.

You can place them into a namespace on the consumer side of the API, with `using static`. While not the same, might be good enough in practice: you normally have multiple `using` statements on top, for namespaces.

> I'd be interested in seeing the model reversed, e.g. immutable defaults with something like `public mutable class Foo`

I wouldn’t want immutable defaults, but I do want readonly classes and structures, with readonly being part of the type system.

BTW, the new value tuples with named fields is a step in the right direction https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mazhou/2017/05/26/c-7-serie... Useful but limited, I would prefer real immutable classes & structures. Currently I have to create them manually, mark all fields public readonly, implement the constructor, that’s more typing than I’d like.

Yes, exactly.

The bad news is that most antivirus software also won't protect you from a hacked NYT server delivering 0-days, because it's generally reactionary. For this reason, I mostly don't worry too much about about while-browsing protection - if you're cautious, the remaining threats will also evade antivirus. In that sense, uMatrix and NoScript are more proactive. (uMatrix, for example, saved people from Magecart before it was ever discovered.)

But if you do pick something up, there's no guarantee it'll be nice obvious ransomware, rather than something quietly sniffing your keystrokes. That's where I advocate antivirus even for careful users - it's a repository of known threats to tip you off that something is wrong. DoublePulsar was first discovered infecting Windows machines in the wild, so cautious browsing didn't save the people that hit.

Does someone have links to written variants of this material rather than a podcast?

No offense if you like podcasts but I just don't have time for them even at 2x speed. they're just too slow and disorganized.
That distinction exists in many systems. E.g. for cloud events, 404 is considered with skepticism because it could be a race condition in provisioning or transient issue whereas 410 requires data streams to be cut off.
But then I don’t have to focus on driving for several hours and can do my own thing.
I wonder what industry she worked in.

I would like to think that people in the tech sector at least have started taking better care of themselves and their colleagues. In my small professional bubble at least people seem to be willing to give up a cushy position for things that would benefit their mental health, improve their out-of-office quality of life, and increase the time they spend with family and loved ones; either by working fully or partially remotely, taking long times off between contracts, etc.

I honestly hope that the reason I don't hear people getting burnt-out these days is that people are actually healthier and happier, and not that they are just too damned scared to let others know and get help.
Interestingly you can't buy the electric or hybrid Golfs at the moment, they have been withdrawn from sale in the UK. My guess is the waiting list extends out until the new model is available.
Why does it need to be 25 nm away? Why not build them closer to shore? A half mile offset from dwellings is considered generous in the Midwest, and the wind is pretty steady along parts of that coast.

Although that lower level stuff (like calling conventions and register use) is missing in C, you have to deal with it when debugging C. C programmers know how to debug at the machine level.

By contrast, the average Python programmer couldn't debug into the Python internals if their life depended on it.

It is true that I am probably not angry enough about the Faroe whale slaughter, but they are much further away from me than Japan. I live on Canada's west coast, where Greenpeace began. There are far more flights between Vancouver and Tokyo than Vancouver and the Faroe Islands, and many more business and government connections. So it should be no surprise that I am more angry at Japan.

I am also no fan of the Canadian arctic whale harvest. That it is classified as "aboriginal whaling", and is much smaller, makes no difference to me. Dead whales are dead whales regardless who is killing them.
Yea it’s called domain squatting

While I think this is a good approach given population pressures have major consequences (wilderness shrinkage, land use, overuse, resource depletion, desperation, etc) education is a big factor as well as opportunities for women (there are countries where underemployed women are forced to barter sex for goods). Also changing customs is important. Many men push back on condoms, though not other forms of prophylactics, so it’s important to make other birth control widely available and change perception around them.
In UK it’s not uncommon to see price tags that say something like '50p per litre' (for bottled water) or '50p per 100 sheet' (for toilet paper).

You can see the prices per unit on their websites:

Not sure if this is required by regulations or it’s just the supermarkets being customer-friendly though.
Man, Mac users are the clumsiest beings on the World. Macs are what? Below 7% market share? And somehow 7%, based on constant whining, trips over their power cords much more than the silent 93% of the population.

You have a computer with four sockets on both sides, you can plug into each of these holes a standard (non-Apple) cable, on the other side of the cable can be a standard USB-C (non-Apple) charger or a battery pack that can charge your laptop together with your phone and your gadgets. And yet, that's much less important than the glorified party trick.

You have to deal with those register when debugging C, at least from time to time. C debuggers show you the registers; e.g. "info reg" in the GNU debugger. Linux kernel debugging often means working from a dump of the CPU registers, raw memory around the stack pointer, and surrounding the instruction pointer. From that you figure out what bad thing the C code did.
I've scripted things like that in irssi the past (although using scp and one server I own, not imgur, but that shouldn't be massively harder). Most IRC clients are trivially scriptable.

I'm always baffled when I see that the Signal client package is like 80MB on desktop and lacks basic functionality and configurability while irssi is barely 1MB, extremely lightweight and effectively endlessly configurable. Let's not even talk about Discord which manages to lag severely in Firefox on my high-end gaming PC.
Then why did they clarify specifically that this was not an interaction ban.What was the purpose of both lines if they thought Fram did harass her and thus wanted to impose a interaction ban?

The problem with the accusation of cherry picking is that I don't have an issue if you would include the full text. In context it is pretty clear that what they wanted was to prevent any further friction between the two editors. If they thought it was harassment and they intended to issue a punitive action then they would have done that. WMF is quite cable to call out harassment without needing to wrapping it up with false statements of "To be clear, we are not placing an interaction ban" and "We remain convinced that it was not intended to intimidate or make her feel uncomfortable".
Believe me, I know the feeling. But in some of these cases, there's a primary commenter who putting energy into the argument long after it has become clear that nothing good will come of it, and that's the user we ask to stop. That's the impression I had of this very large, flamey thread.

I can't say I read these comments closely, though, or in many cases at all. We don't have the cycles to do that. If we missed cases of commenters being aggressive or otherwise breaking the site guidelines, that's likely why. You'd be welcome to point them out to us. There's certainly no intention at our end to take sides or scold you more than others.
