Very interesting. Amazing how much we owe, without realizing, to the early pioneers and designers of the first computers, who often prognosticated issues we deal with today.

I recently have been researching Leslie Lamport's TLA+ project. Definitely in line with the ideas in this paper.
https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/tla.html
I think this is the first article I've read to use the term "visible homelessness". For many people who live in Seattle, the world "homeless" really means visibly homeless, but for many political activists, the word includes people in shelters or living in the cars or otherwise keeping a low profile while not having a permanent address. I'm no expert but I strongly suspect that the best ways to help the visibly homeless and the not-visibly-homeless are pretty different. But activists are more than willing to conflate the two cases. This particularly arises in the case of affordable housing. Housing may indeed be the primary problem for the not-visibly-homeless. It seems pretty likely though (just based on observation) that the biggest problems for the visibly homeless are mental illness and substance abuse.

I think we'd be better served by not talking past each other and instead make it clear which kind of homeless problem we're talking about at any particular time.
I wonder if orgs using gApps can use it as an SMTP relay as a possible solution. My team did this (except we used our Office365 as a relay) when one of our clients brought in a new firewall and found that password reset emails were being blocked coming out of AWS.

Now before you mention how this should be a solveable problem inn AWS, we’re already well underway testing with the client. The problem presented itself as a manifestation of inheriting the last guy’s infrastructure and working to...unfuck a lot of his questionable design choices.
> This has to be set up and configured, it is not default by any means.

If you use the GPO templates it absolutely is the default. You have to go out of your way to turn it off (and some people do for both good and bad reasons).

> whether you can pay enough to attract the talent you need, whether you can afford the opex+capex for the level of service you think is standard, etc.

Luckily a 3-2-1 backup strategy doesn't require top tier talent. It is mostly policy, costs, and time. You could literally have an intern do it if the business took the time to set a policy and buy the prerequisites.

The difficult part has always been getting business/government buy-in because they'd prefer to be apathetic until something goes wrong or under-spend on something that won't pay dividend immediately.

Talk to government IT some time. I've worked in that environment. There's no lack of talent, there's a lack of funds for things like backups and nobody in management (political appointed or otherwise) wants to make actual decisions/do any managing. I had colleagues "borrow" a spare HDD, copy the data off onto it, then take it home with them because that was the only backup an entire County had (because nothing else was funded/authorized).

You can try to bike-shed/excuse this issue away, but at its core it is managerial incompetence/apathy. If they wanted the money for it, they'd find it, if they wanted the time to produce policy they'd find it, and if there was real consequences to their incompetence you can bet they would have already.
> Won't I have to reload my browser if I change a file?

> Yep! Welcome to the joys of Javascript.

Although it (re-)sends file for every request, the file content must be identical. So the relay server may just cache the file.

Once you do that, it becomes more like a traditional static file hosting w/ on-demand file uploading via browser.
Once and for all, it is the policy makers, not the tech industry, who are responsible for these operations.

Prefacing your opinion with 'once and for all' is not much better than saying 'mine is the only valid opinion' and doesn't make for a good discussion.

Policy makers certainly create the demand for such commercial services, but it is a choice to supply that demand or not, and those who find such demands morally questionable have the capability to frustrate them by refusing to participate or obstructing the supply.

Individuals can of course abdicate the moral decision-making if it makes them uncomfortable, but acting without regard to the good or ill of the outcome is an implicit endorsement of it. If people later decide that certain outcomes are a moral ill, indifferent participants may find themselves considered culpable.
I had a GLTF export problem too! Though I can’t remember what specifically. Thanks for your help!
You're right about how Facebook did it, but I'd describe it as a pedantically different thing, not a very different thing. It's just a different method of artificially restricting who can sign up.

And to your edit: "It's proven to not work" seems like a statement, and it's the statement I was responding to. Had you simply asked the question about whether it's a good idea I wouldn't have written my response.
This is probably a reference to the integrated motion tracking support[1]. Sure, you can use any 3D application to generate content for AR, but it's a lot easier to overlay 3D object into an existing scene when the 3D application can process a video and automatically adjust the camera parameters to match.

I think one of the main takeaways is: included batteries are underrated. This is seemingly one of the main appeals of Python.

Another is: an integrated solution that's been designed holistically, instead of blindly assembled out of modules, does wonders for reliability. See: the difficulty of setting up a JS build environment vs a Rust build environment. Also, the success of Atom vs VSCode.

Airliner manufacturing isn't low margin, by far. Airbus reported EBIT €5.8bn on €64bn revenues for 2018. 9% profitability is pretty good for durable goods company.
Airlines aren't all exactly on paper thin margins. Southwest operates at about 15% margin

Apple, the posterchild of high margins, reported profits of $14bn on $62bn revenues for Q4 2018... that's 22%.
If you want low margins, look at retailers.

First time I've learned of Relive and it's really too bad - this looks like a fun integration to use alongside Strava. I was already thinking of how I could have used this with my dad and us share rides from states apart. Watch Strava copy Relive features in next 6 mo.
don't bother. I bought the license for mobile and mac when those were the options and now regulated to paying subscription.
I live in Seattle but I'm currently in LA. Here in Santa Monica its out of control. I just went to Starbucks and a homeless person was harassing everyone in the line, very threatening -- and the security won't do anything about it. We can't do anything about it or we'd be the one cracked down on.

I was in another coffee shop and a homeless was behind my chair with a lighter trying to light my hair on fire. My wife was harassed in the same coffee shop two days later.

I can't see how this isn't impacting tourism. Even when I went to Hawaii, Waikiki was filled with homeless taking over all the public benches.

Peter Thiel would make an excellent Bond villain. You can feel empathy for him for being genuinely wronged and at the same time be disgusted by how he's harmed others in the pursuit of his private justice. He should never be underestimated and just when you think you've found a weakness he can expose it as a secret strength. If he weren't using his tremendous skills for so much ill in the world he'd be extremely admirable and hard not to cite as a role model.

I sympathize with the pickle, but this sounds more like a case of misconfigured build node. Why Internet Explorer is even on it? If OP RDP'd to the machine and saw IE window open, wouldn't this mean that build processes are running under whatever account interactively? Why?
Along with everything else that could be said about this, I don’t think that is even a major problem. Everything I’ve tried to run on Steam Proton runs at 60 FPS with highest settings. My guess is that Vulkan has enabled much better Direct3D emulation.

(Of course, I don’t play much and I didn’t bother to benchmark. It probably is still worse than native in many cases. But hey, glitch free and fast enough for me. Was very surprised to see games with Denuvo running great.)
This is pretty cool. I have been using a competitor's software, Mautic for quite some time. I am excited to see where this goes!
Yeah. Funny how the actual "work hard with Relive to solve the issue" is actually ghosting - working hard to ignore I guess. (If the Relive account of the events is to be trusted)
This is the tech equivalent of saying they were just following orders.
For the last few years I've believed Excel is the most important piece of software written, no hyperbole. The reason is that it's so damned accessible. Software is eating the world, and letting people who don't write "true" code still kinda write code opens up software's productivity and automation benefits for a bunch of use cases and an insane amount of people.

For programmers, the analogy is python. It's almost never the best tool for any specific thing, but it's a really solid tool for a ton of things. It's easy enough to learn and has enough depth to keep learning. It's easy to prototype a quick answer, and can not-to-painfully grow to a large complex system. I think that's why you get people from all backgrounds using python. It enables people who don't know much about software to start writing software.

Excel's the same way, but with an even lower barrier (and probably lower ceiling). It enables people who don't know anything about software to get many of software's benefits. That's huge.

Just like python can great for a biologist whose focus is biology not software, Excel is great for the accountant whose focus is accounting, not software. It makes them a programmer, or at least close enough for many many purposes.

So the objection is that Internet Explorer has msn.com as its default homepage. This is fair, it's ridiculous and a relic from a long gone age.

But so is Internet Explorer. What kind of super old Windows version were these people running? What caused IE to open out of the blue? Windows has plenty flaws but randomly open browsers is not one I'm familiar with.

Another POV is that whatever your problem is, I have a right to be unmolested in the street /home. So it's a bit more complicated.
I think that you need Wirth's approach to writing languages, not just compilers. I'm not sure that a one-pass C++ compiler would be easy. But Pascal (and Oberon?) were designed with that in mind. ("No forward references" is one place this shows.)
Author here. To give some context on why listmonk was built, at work (regulated financial business), we have to deliver e-mails, mostly important updates, to 1.5mn+ customers regularly. We used phpList for the longest time and then tried MailTrain and Sendy before finally deciding to reinvent the wheel after running into a number of issues, of which, a few important ones are mentioned below.

- Performance. Unreasonably long amounts of time to send out e-mails. phpList degraded to the point of taking several days to process a campaign. listmonk can spawn N goroutines (~threads) and push e-mails to multiple SMTP servers. On a commodity ec2 instance, we're able to send 1.5mn+ e-mails in a couple hours.

- Subscriber imports were extremely slow. Direct integration to keep subscribers in sync with external CRMs was cumbersome. Direct DB inserts were complicated due to the complex table structures. listmonk imports 10k records/sec into a Postgres DB on a commidty ec2 instance.

- Segmentation. Often, we have to rapidly segment users by custom attributes and conditions and relay an update to them. listmonk supports SQL expressions to segment users on their attributes that are defined as arbitrary JSON maps (thanks to Postgres JSONB type).

- Unavailability of dynamic templates. listmonk templates support Go template expressions so it's possible to write logic in messages to make them dynamic.

I would like to add that listmonk is still work in progress and requires a number of essential features before it can come out of alpha.
Honest question and I am absolutely not starting an argument, but what have they done for Github? All I'm aware of is making private repos free, but I haven't seen anything beyond that. I must be out of the loop.

I believe a [citation needed] is required for the claim that US immigration policy is "internationally conventional".

There is of course enormous variance in how countries handle immigration, but the ethical and conventional policy could be summarized as:

1. Border enforcement. Ie, try to prevent people from entering illegally

2. Tolerance for those who are illegally present

(2) Means that a person who emigrated illegally should be able to exist outside the shadows. That is, they should be able to get ID, work, drive, etc while their immigration case is decided, often indefinitely. As well, parents of children born-in country can apply for residence in the EU, for example.

This obviously makes an enormous amount of practical sense. All of the "problems" with illegal immigration ('job stealing', not paying taxes, etc) are exacerbated when people cannot legally work. Distinguishing between MS-13 members and hotel room cleaners is harder when the latter cannot integrate.

Lastly, there is an enormous moral cost to the "crackdown" immigration policy enacted by the US Government. Undocumented immigrants live in constant fear, poverty and exploitation. This is a real ethical and moral cost for an act which is, at the end of the day, pretty benign.

The US is a nation of laws, but the punishment (Can't complain when you're exploited! Can't sign a lease! Get deported to a country you left when you were two weeks old!) for illegal immigration is completely disproportionate to the crime.

I'm sorry but your response is not based at all in historical fact. A huge part of forcing a governments hand to do the right thing is having corporations and other businesses not work with them (one example is the fall of apartheid in south africa, among other things).

Bottom up direct action is the only real way to fight injustice, law makers move far too slowly to effectively be a barrier to all injustice. Additionally, building a weapon is not simply building a tool (note that I'm not saying weapons aren't ever necessary), and it's foolish to suggest otherwise.

I think the point he's trying to get across is this:

First we had institutions for the mentally ill. Then we closed them all down, with the promise that they'd be replaced by community mental health care.

But since that care never showed up, all those people just starting going to jail instead. This is no better than the institutions, but they were "out of sight, out of mind", so no one cared.

What Holmes is saying is, since we're not going to put these people in jail anymore, we're now forced to really deal with the problem, instead of just shuffling them somewhere so we can pretend they don't exist. Either we get real mental health care, or they stay on the streets screaming at people. The choice is yours!

I think one article is looking at combined income of a family and the other is looking at single income. The author is rather dismissive of the justifying NYT piece as well which in my opinion raises a good point about our perception of middle class. Some people want to apply a rigid definition to the term that is defined by income which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense given the variance in incomes regionally. Others perceive it as more of a lifestyle whose membership is more determined by spending habits, additional expenses, other lifestyle decisions, etc.

Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001. Although not quite the same as legalizing completely (drug dealing and manufacturing is still illegal). This is somewhat parallel to alcohol, in the sense that brewing and subsequently distributing your own alcohol is illegal (in most areas, Im not an expert) as well as possession under certain circumstances is an administrative offense.

I don't get the hate for hearing Oracle challenge another large huge company in court.

That's the correct course of action in the US. If you disagree with something you take it to the courts!

It's not David vs Goliath here where Oracle is abusing it's deep pockets with lawyers.

Worse yet then people get upset at the outcome of the decision if it wasn't to their liking.
At a previous company they used the Oracle SOA middleware. They suggested using one of their cloud APIs so we could use REST to connect to my app. The Oracle team sold it to them and then said it was at end of life 6 months later after they built stuff.
Where's that proof? I also run windows 10 at home, no issues with cpu or ads. The build servers at work? Same. no IE cpu hogs, no ad farms ... That's why i think this is some malware that has gotten by, and not ad farm.
Keep in mind that internally lots of stats/etc are posted around things like cyber attacks, where a 'port scan' is counted as 65k different attacks (all of the tcp ports getting a 'malicious' SYN == an attack).

It's the functional equivalent of calling satellite overflights attacks, every time they fly by.

'We are under constant attack!' also helps the internal justification of working for/with agencies like that.

It still has the powerful tiling window system. There's no overlapping windows so you don't close windows, you combine and subdivide windows to make the tool layout you want.

But now there's Tabs for different default window setups:
Layout, modeling, Sculpting, UV Editing... So you shouldn't have to change the setups much, they're already designed for the task. You can can still customize/ create your own. That feature was already there as a drop down but now it's more accessible and you can add more default layouts.
That has just broke me. Thanks :)
