I'm always amazed at the lifespan of some of the code I've written over the years. I wrote an api that we use internally in 1996 that is still being used in all of our new production code in that language in our organization. I've learned a lot in the intervening 23 years so looking at some of that code can be a bit jarring. We've had to adapt it a bit when our environment changed a few times, and we've certainly added to it, but I don't think the core code has had any problems that I know of this century. Millennium, I guess, technically.

Part of me really wants to rewrite it, but it doesn't make sense from a developer-time perspective (and I don't want to spend the time tracking down the inevitable bugs again).
Stay tuned on that last front.
Not quite the same. With email pixel tracking, anyone can theoretically obtain your broader geographical position just by sending you an email via Superhuman.
You can disable loading images in Gmail, which has the same effect.
That sounds like far too much to deal with.

I think its more:

A) power users having different priorities to light users. That tool you use every day, you probably use keyboard short cuts, know all the flags. The tool you use once every 6 months, you probably scan the menus and check the man page. Open source tends to be focused more on the power users, mainly because its probably power users that made the thing to start with.

B) open source tends not to be a 'product'. There aren't focus groups and usability testers, the first releases are Alphas and Betas so tend to attract technically minded people that find their way around less discoverable interfaces.

Is this a correct place to use 'GET'?
i went to babson as well -- too bad i missed this class, sounds interesting!

i grabbed a copy of that HBR article and will read it later. thanks!
Almost all of Kotlin's coroutines support is also in a library. The stuff that comes from the compiler is really the smallest possible slice, required because there is syntax for it.
I think it was in Suarez's book 'Kill Decision' where they went to one of these facilities to try to hide from drones. Great book, but I didn't realize these facilities already existed.
After reading this I'm now more interested in the showerhead he loves so much and seems so enthusiastic about. It does have great reviews online so I might have to pick one up now.
Wait, so how exactly is Rust better than C++ again? If I need to bring my own unsafe code to the party, where is the gain? Especially, if - in your words - "This is how essentially all languages work to begin with". I can build "safe" abstractions in any other language, too, can I not?
He does have an incredible writing style ("voice"). Compelling read, admittedly I only finished half - thanks for the reminder.

The problem is that the person that "doesn't like it" isn't the user of Superhuman, it is the recipient, who doesn't get a choice as to what email client the sender is using.
I only know of one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Muslims_in_Myan... but WP seems to have more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence
I was very pleasantly surprised to see Don Kagan's "Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War" in the list. His "Introduction to Ancient Greece" class is really good (and available online for free).

I'd also strongly suggest anyone interested in that topic to read Thucydides' original "History of the Peloponnesian War," which is probably the most influential history book ever written.

This is where the author's dunk on Superhuman became complete.

A Superhuman investor, who does not disclose his interest in the company, pops in to say it's the recipient's responsibility to defend their own privacy, using a method (turning images off) that Superhuman's own product makes impossible for its users.

Nearly every email marketing platform does this for every email they send already, and that’s part of why thunderbird has had images off by default in email since a really long time. (Or maybe I set it that way years ago, but at least it’s an easy setting.) Is it weirder because it’s mail from an individual? I guess so.
What industry are you in and why do you think that the proposed approach is not achievable with a modest staff? (Or perhaps NPR has more developers and designers than I realize.)
Maybe more the opposite: in the long enough term radioactive materials are just ugly rocks. It's more the short term storage in the here and now that is the concern for most people, because they are understandably afraid of DNA damage and cancer.
Revolving door is a concept but various bodies have different rules limiting when and how it is acceptable.

Oracle is alleging that AWS/DoD violated those rules, now it’s up to the court to decide if they did.

Edit: I’m sure that Wikipedia link doesn’t cover the full universe of rules, but it does say:

> "Under current law, government officials who make contracting decisions must either wait a year before joining a military contractor or, if they want to switch immediately, must start in an affiliate or division unrelated to their government work. One big loophole is that these restrictions do not apply to many high-level policy makers..., who can join corporations or their boards without waiting." [21]
You can turn off loading images by default on the web-based Gmail client under the general tab in settings.

It's not possible to disable loading of images on the iOS Gmail client.
We use a rather bespoke syslog -> clickhouse log sink (https://github.com/discordapp/punt/tree/clickhouse) we wrote in house because logstash (and then subsequently elastic starch) was too slow. Would love to switch off of it and to this! Hopefully a clickhouse sink comes soon! Maybe will contribute one upstream!
This. If you've been, it doesn't feel like 6x more active than Vegas. Which says a lot, given it's a Chinese city.

Not all plants work everywhere or should, some on that list are invasive to areas. Your local university or city probably has resources for what native plants would work best for your environment and bees.

> It's good to have diversity in governance systems and be able to see the different outcomes...

I've been lucky not to experience this myself, but I imagine it is bad to experience the "different outcomes" firsthand when the governance system -- novel as it might appear from a distance -- has foundations in violent suppression of individual freedom.

It depends on your perspective.

The OS one has more _requirements_ (the number of "it must do..." is much higher), which constrains it's design space much more. I think you can call that as "having more constraints" because it must meet more needs to be even viable as a solution.

The number of requirements for JVM threads is much lower, thus less constraining, allowing it more freedom to implement solutions that can meet its narrower window of features.
> Oracle's filing said that US "warfighters and taxpayers have a vested interest in obtaining the best services through lawful, competitive means... Instead, DoD (with AWS's help) has delivered a conflict-ridden mess in which hundreds of contractors expressed an interest in JEDI, over 60 responded to requests for information, yet only the two largest global cloud providers can clear the qualification gates."

Changing the thing being procured shines a light on just how bad this argument is: "Over 60 potential manufacturers declared an interest in designing and building the latest jet fighter, yet all but two were excluded by the qualification gates of being able to provide a product capable of remaining airborne. Hundreds of potential suppliers could provide the odd wing or ejector seat, which put together stand a good chance of resembling a plane."

(Realisations that this is actually maddeningly close to how some jet fighters are built are welcomed)

One thing is not every free or pro plan on cloudflare is personal use.

I'm running the web servers, official wiki, and game external resource portal for the most active open source video game on github, through cloudflare, and maybe we might not want our 60 million requests a month website to go down when cloudflare does.

Because I can tell you right now our 300 a month budget (that mind you, is capable of covering 7 game servers that can handle 100 connected players (each)) can't take the 80 dollar hit just to make cloudflare not a single point of failure.
I think you answered your own question. Email marketing platform? Yes they do track emails, but only providing the data for open rates, not a list of timestamps and locations where you opened the email.
Depends on your definition of hack. If you mean “compromise” the only safe assumption is all of it.

Has any employee read a document then relayed what they saw to a third party outside the facility? Or pocketed/copied a document? Or altered a document? Or destroyed a document?

How would you know? How can you assume they have not?
That depends on the synchronization mechanism used, and whether or not that mechanism is hooked into the kernel scheduler. Sometimes it is (such as pthread_mutex) and sometimes it is not (such as rolling your own spin locks).
Ha ha, I guess the modes in WSJT-X. I know JT65 is one. At least with PSK31 you are typing in real-time. With JT65 it’s fully automated. Ought to only be counted as a contact when it’s below the 2.5 kHz noise bandwidth. When I can hear multiple JT65 signals in SSB audio, that’s totally cheating. Those guys are probably running +10W.

> Python doesn't do anything for resources

The "with" blocks can help with certain kinds of resources, for example:

with open('foo.txt', 'r') as inf:
data = inf.readlines()
Surely something is lost too though? Part of what makes Venice an attraction is its unique history, a product of many thousands of residents living there for hundreds of years. The world's cultural heritage is diminished when a place like that ceases to be a living city.
Exactly. People are already used to much more surveillance than they used and this trend just keeps going. Sometimes it's China taking the lead, sometimes the US, sometimes other countries. But they all look at each other and slowly adopt what the other country is doing.

I am pretty sure the next generation will never see anything other than complete surveillance by countries or corporations. And for them it will seem normal.
I strictly mentioned I wouldn't depend on someone deciding how much (x/violence) is moral or immoral.

While ultimately true, the problem is that you can't control how other people think or judge, but you can control what you wear.
It’s not the sense of direction or ability to find our way that I was referencing, but simply that we are large, bipedal, ground dwelling animals. Picking through the brush is much faster for a Fox. Inclines that would have to be carefully negotiated by a person can be simply scampered up by an agile quadruped.
Interest rate arbitrage. If you have $2M liquid net worth, you have access to investments that will perform much better than the ~4% you're likely paying on your mortgage. If I can make 6% on $400k vs the 4% I'm paying on said mortgage, why wouldn't I pocket that extra 2%?
China is also working very hard to get rid of its minorities by simply distributing Han Chinese everywhere.
But it is expensive compared to solar and wind.

Let's remove all regulations for everyone. Wind, solar, nuclear, everyone. A nuclear plant is still going to run you north of USD1 Billion. Not only that, but you won't start seeing any return for 5 to 10 years. And that's doing everything in a headlong rush, on the cheap, with no regard for safety. Now someone would need to come up with that money.

Contrast this with throwing up windmills. You need, (again, no more regulations here), around 500 g's. You start generating income on that outlay inside of a year. Worse, because the prices are so low, enterprising people who would never have been able to compete in the energy markets before, all of a sudden are able to slap up windmills too. It can just snowball into a free for all. What happened in Iowa was a bit more controlled than that, but you still ended up with runaway growth in wind generation capacity. And now their nuclear plant is literally closing down. It can't even compete. One nuclear plant can out generate one windmill. But if everyone and his mother is gonna try to get a piece of the wind generation pie on their family's farm, well, that's an awful lot of windmills.

We've got to get serious and look at the energy markets in a realistic fashion. Iowans are not anti-nuclear hippies, they just don't want to get a bill for 15 cents a kWh instead of the bill for 2 cents a kWh. I don't blame them. Yeah, go wind, and fill in the gaps with whatever fossil fuel generation you have. It's cheaper for you. But we've got to get realistic about that fact and have government either pay for nuclear outright, or put it's finger on the scale like it ended up doing with Vogtie. Basically, telling consumers that you have to use the energy from the nuclear plant, you have to pay the higher price, and you're not allowed to switch away from it.

Like you said, that was not popular, but it is what it is. Those are the choices, we can't soft pedal this stuff anymore if we're serious about a carbon free future.
CRMs do. Just about every email-sending tool collects that data, even if they don't show it to you in the UI.

How would it scale for a bigger app ? Shipping a library with the app like react creates poor performance for small components for sure, but abstractions must become worth it beyond a certain scale no ? I guess the compiler could also create abstractions when it becomes worth using them ?
And in all fairness, many people seem to churn through places every year or two because (among other reasons) they value newness over longer term projects.
It’s better that this happens now than later. I am confident CF will put protections in place to prevent this from happening again, but also put a switch in place to provide an instant fix the next time something like this happens.

It does suck to have a service down for a bit, but what CF offers, at the price point is pretty incredible.

Good luck to CF, and I wish you the best with coming up with a robust future-proof solution.

About me: I started meddling with Python practically the moment I decided software engineering will be my career path, and have been using it for wildly different things for 9 years. I started working professionally in 2013 as a backend/devops engineer, and my skillset is tuned for that role: RESTful API and relational database design, Linux system administration, git, quality assurance, distributed systems, software testing... I think you get the picture. My forte is Python, but I've also professionally written Java and Golang code, and I'm quite confident as long as the language is imperative and its lineage can be traced back to C, I won't have any issues with the programming language.

I went back to school for my master's degree to scratch my research itch, which was successful in doing so as I've published 2 papers and have a pending patent application. In the due process, I've picked up data analysis and computer security skills. Now I'm about to graduate, I'd like to specialize in either backend/distributed systems, data science, computer security or any combination of those. I require no training to be productive for backend roles.

Why no remote? I am about to graduate with my master's degree, and my next job will be the first one after two years of lab work. I would like to live within an office environment for a while to hasten my transition from academia to industry. In addition to that, nearly throughout my whole career, I've worked remotely. While not having to commute every day definitely has its perks, I consider myself an extrovert and enjoy social interaction, and right now I feel commute is a justifiable cost for that.
This, to me, is why this request is so unusual. This is much more suited for spread spectrum, secure, short wavelength (smaller antennas) and the like, and its surprising that Thales - a world renowned avionics corporation - is behind the push. It's also why I think this big 2m band scare is moot; someone didn't actually do the engineering, it's like they just threw out a random number and put it in a powerpoint slide.
