Most sales people at Google wouldn't even know where to start looking. They're more familiar with the ad systems. Heck, a lot of engineers couldn't tell you on the spot where to look or whom to inquire about ranking bugs. Add to that the big gulf between sales and engineering, not to mention the sometimes snobbish attitude of the latter toward the former. (”Sales people take our money and blow it on dinners with clients!", forgetting that the money often came in thanks to sales and that e.g. engineers on average traveled less often, but for quite longer).

Compare the current situation with how the Occupy Wall Street protestors were treated.

What you are describing is the state siding with the supporters. They're doing the nominal minimum to enforce the law and they know that's not enough. If the state wanted to side with the TMT people then the protestors would be arrested whether there's facilities for them or not. You're right it won't be built in Hawaii. The state has sided with the opposition.

His net worth is listed at $4.1 Billion in Forbes, making this "cash out" about 25% of his net worth. Not 5%.

The concern is that he's cashing out a large $ amount ($700 million) before the IPO, more than he needs to live, which may signify that he values the cash now over holding the stock. Which is not a good look considering the IPO is trying to get people to trade their cash for stock.

Abbreviate your strings – v1.2.0 released
Why don't you think that the hardest part is acquiring the viewers? At least nowadays, network traffic is cheap. You get 1TB for 1 euro [0]. You need 22 Mbps for 1080HD [1], which means you can stream 100 hours for 1 euro.

If you stream 5min clips, that's 1200 clips for 1 euro. There should be enough ad networks that offer 2 euro CPM to make a profit.

On the other hand, how can they make a profit if nobody is discovering their site?

I wasn't talking about recourse against the government. The government is within its rights to enforce the visa process to protect and regulate the local labor market. I was talking about recourse against the employer. Even if you're terminated wrongfully (i.e. in retaliation for reporting harassment or abuse, legally permitted whistleblowing, etc), it's unlikely that, as an H1-B, you will sue. That makes H1-Bs extra attractive to unscrupulous employers.

There is no doubt that H1B gets abused by these small contracting shops and Indian giants like Infosys. I am all for stricter criteria for H1B but at the same time if it comes without a path for permanent residency then its not lucrative enough for an immigrant. Most H1B people I know are genuine hard working tax paying good people. They like it here and want to make it their home while contributing to the economy so why not remove the hoops they jump through.
Very good article. Yes, Google is indeed a very strong competitor for startups.
Given it's already happened in the US, I don't think it's high enough.
This is why H1B's should be auctioned, to kill the body shops which are gaming the current lottery system.
It's true that letsencrypt makes this less likely to be an issue. But there is still the possibility that maybe your hosting provider drops support for HTTPS or you are forced to switch to a provider that doesn't support HTTPS. The parent gave one example of this with their GitHub Pages situation.

Also: HSTS applies to all ports once applied, not just 80/443. That is another important thing to consider before turning it on.
Just curious. Do you have a vision for how Go could change to improve your issues? (One of the key problems is nobody could agree on a better approach...)

Math, properly done, is rigorous formal thinking. And it lets us think things we normally couldn't. Nobody can visualize a 100 dimensional object, but a mathematician can easily work with one.

And as programmers we work with mathematical objects called state spaces, that have vastly more than 100 dimensions.

That said one can easily be a competent programmer without having much formal mathematical knowledge much like one can easily be a competent ball player without knowing the differential calculus. However, just as modern ball players improve their games with computer aided mathematical analysis of their swings and so on, a programmer can improve the quality of his output by mathematical analysis, in particular via the use of the predicate calculus and its, in my opinion, most useful application of loop analysis.
For classification purposes, queer is accurate. It’s so we can avoid a thousand-letter acronym.
There is an incredible land pressure on Hawaii. People that have lived there for generations have been pushed to the margins. Homelessness is all-time high, and it impacts native Hawaiians disproportionately[1]. This isn't just about "religious motives" it is about land rights. What is reserved for the indigenous people and what can be appropriated given the "right" motivations.

An older Thinkpad till some decent Ryzen based 4K laptops come out next year.

I just got me a T440P. Put in 16G, SSD (can put 2 more SSDs for a total of 3), its got a socketed i7 and a removable 9 cell battery for easier upgrades. I upgraded the default display (garbage) to a 1080p display (really simple ..done with a screwdriver) and this thing is a beast with Manjaro Linux and KDE or i3.

I also have an x230 with OpenBSD.

It's literally virtue signaling. They're reducing quality in a highly inefficient way because it's more conspicuous than doing it the sensible way (compressing their highly wasteful PNG images as JPEG). You can compress the images to smaller than their dithered images with perfectly acceptable quality (and it wouldn't surprise me if it used less energy to decode too, because JPEG decoders are so heavily optimized). But if they did that nobody would be able to see how "eco-friendly" they were.
> "Women entered the job market due to birth control and legal changes..."

the argument that dual-income households becoming necessities for home ownership and raising a family is plausible, if unsupported.

but the quoted causal relationship above is not even plausible, let alone supported. women entered the job market because they wanted to realize their ambitions and support their families, just like men. other societal changes may have aided or hindered that ambition to various effect, but they don't form the driving force as you state.
They have to go via the atomic types or it is undefined behaviour. One can use a very weak ordering (such as Relaxed) to require little or no "physical" synchronisation by the CPU. Like C++, Rust atomics offer a range of levels of synchronisation, weaker than sequential consistency.

A platform like the JVM disguises this because every read and write (even without 'volatile') use minimal synchronisation to avoid the worst aspects of the danger here. This ensures that programs that do it wrong (e.g. forget a 'volatile') are "only" incorrect, but not unsafe.
"Crisis" may not be the correct word, whereas the sex ratio imbalance in China is definitely a crisis, the loneliness issue is at least a valid social ill because of the additional stress, anxiety, missing joy/opportunities and shortening of lives it creates.

Fair enough, it's a term that is only accurate if the arguer is employing deception. You were not. You genuinely didn't know about labor participation being a large part of the public discourse for the past 9 years.
Dude I relate to you 100%, and the only solution I’ve found is to become comfortable interrupting people right back when they interrupt you, and sometimes before.

Interruption is a weird thing that is both cultural and personal. I spent a lot of time overseas conversing with people in languages other than English, and with people who spoke English as a second language. During those years I became completely comfortable never being interrupted and never interrupting.

Then I came back to America and at first found the “interrupting culture” to be UNBELIEVABLY rude. It really really rankled me for multiple months. I didn’t interrupt people so why the hell were they interrupting me??

...and then I became comfortable interrupting people again. Now things are fine. I’m not saying this is the perfect solution to your problem, but it’s definitely ONE solution.

> In Java, you'd expect map() to throw

You'd have to use unchecked exceptions to achieve that though. There's no way to propagate the checked exception across that call, because there's no way to make map() generic over exception-or-not in a Java/Rust-like type system.

> If you're interested in which item failed, ideally you'd be using a method that doesn't throw at all, and instead returns an error condition. I like how C# makes this clear, with Parse and TryParse on Int32. You use Parse when you want unwinding and abort behaviour including stack unwinding, and TryParse when you want to handle errors, and you don't use exceptions for expected errors, since expected errors are not exceptional.

Result gets you that without needing to write two implementations of every method. You call unwrap-or-panic in the cases where error is not expected/handled, and handle it in the cases where you want to handle it.

But I think it's worse than that. The state is still claiming (as of yesterday) that they will ensure that the TMT equipment can get to the summit. The Governor declared a state of emergency yesterday, to give the police more power. He has activated the National Guard. Additional police have been brought in from Oahu. But in reality, the state is not doing anything effective. So you might be right that the state has effectively sided with the protestors, but it makes no sense for the state to behave as it is. The state is just looking impotent and ridiculous.
I would be interested in the terms of the loan in the event of a rapid depreciation of his WeWork stock (the collateral), or default. Borrowing against funny money (stock being valued by a non-independent entity, Softbank) isn't any more legit.

The things that you think are going to take a long time will take a short time and the things you think will take a short time will take long.

So, for instance, if you have 4 hours scheduled to implement some neural network to optimize X, it may take 30 minutes to type in the algorithm and get it working, but it will take 3 hours to get the environment set up, the version of Tensorflow or whatever up and running, and much longer to type up your results.

So, hopefully, if you expect this, you won't crumple in despair when you find your self 1.5 hours into the time and you haven't even got the right language working with your IDE for that hello world to come up. No, you're right on track, and just keep going.
They could provide a more positive user experience if they overhauled their terrible user interface. They focus too much on making you believe there are thousands of choices, when it’s probably closer to 10-20.

This is clearly evident in how they keep items you’ve already watched in the same list of things you haven’t watched. Why would any sane person do this?
> But why do you think Google goes to a great length to track you all over the web? They literally have thousands of engineers doing just that.

As far as I understand even as the British empire became smaller the number of people employed to oversee the colonies went up.

Not really. Most such investments are in hotels/hospitals etc with large number of low paid employees.
A bugfix release, so not that interesting. However it's an opportunity for me to express my gratitude to the KDevelop team for producing such a fine IDE. Its Python static analysis plugin is first rate and extremely convenient, and it shares the KTextEditor component with Kate, which leads to a pleasingly consistent experience if you use KDE (and Kate is a fantastic editor in its own right).
Just a word of caution for anyone reading this. I highly discourage anyone from actually learning ^w. I learned it, then had to forcefully un-learn it when I kept accidentally closing tabs on my browser, other people's browsers, my file manager, etc. etc. ad nauseam. Don't make the same mistake I did, just press backspace a lot. I know life is short but the sudden rage of having unexpectedly closed a tab is just not worth the added efficiency. I am passionate about this subject; however, I mean no disrespect for those who have (somehow) managed to use ^w productively.
Show HN: CV Compiler 2.0 – Instant Resume Suggestions for Techies
If we're thinking of the same poll, it was conducted in 2015 and the polling was backed by Caltech, who has a vested interest in TMT and neither the instrument or the raw data were available for other researchers to analyze.
I would argue that if you are using boilerplate annotations, you are doing it wrong. If you really do not need to add context, don't add context. But in my code I find that I want to add context about 90% of the time.

But then I am super zealous about making sure my error messages understandable without the need to track down other information. For example, I want to know that (something like) "the config file needs group read permissions" not "file cannot be opened." But maybe others value ease of programming more than I do and are less concerned about error UX than I am?

except of my dozens or so commits to a feature branch, most of which are "update" or "fix test" or "oops forgot edge case". But for the one squash commit, it's "some-feature-tag: nice description of the changes (#relevant-pr)".

and there's no way I'm going to write more than one nice commit message for a branch.

You can still get the fine-grained commits if you keep your merges focused on one thing.
Yes? This isn't that complicated. You break it, and when competitive browser X refuses to do so, you sell the idea that browser X is compromised for all users everywhere (not just in Kazakhstan)

Stop thinking about the country with literally less than 1% of world internet users and start thinking of the reputational damage a less than charitable presentation of your collaboration with a totalitarian state against your users would do to the other 99%+ of your market.
It does seem a bit out of proportion, News Corp bought a business that proceeded to sink.

I think Peertube and other Fediverse stacks like Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed & Lemmy will continue to bleed users from more traditional sites over the next few years. They've significantly lowered the barriers to running your own social site, creating a great variety of communities that otherwise would be much smaller or non-existent.

Or eliminate the cap altogether and never talk about this problem ever again.
The best advice I can give you is to try things that your professors aren't telling you to do already, and also to try going one layer deeper into the system then you think you need to in order to solve problems. Doing so will reveal things to you about why the solutions are the way they are.

You'll probably come out with a good understanding of gc'ed languages like Javascript and Python, but the interpreters for these languages still interface with the modern operating system with a systems language like Assembly, C, or Rust.

Maybe try bringing up a simple application on a Z80 or similar MCU that blinks an LED connected to a GPIO. Then switch to using the pulse-width-modulated output to blink the same LED but at different blink rates and potentially even make it fade in and out.

You will learn more about embedded systems from that project than you ever could from messing with Linux on a Raspberry Pi. And everything you learn will give you a better understanding of how computer systems actually work. You will also have to learn more about C and potentially C++ then you ever thought was possible.

You don't need to write an OS from scratch either. You can use something like https://freertos.org/. There's board support for widely-available platforms.
I mean, building a panopticon to show me things I've already looked at may be effective but it seems like it's not the most worthwhile use of hundreds of PhDs for several decades? I also appreciate how Google continues to pay to show me Pixel 3A adds days after I purchased it.

You're right that the complexities are approximate in some sense. But now I actually have more questions:

1. Are you aware that the complexity analysis isn't about being precise but about being able to predict the time for any given input given some sample? Since from my own experience, it's more of an analytical part and it's about calculations of worst case scenarios/computability of the process overall. Still, it has everything to do about actually predicting the exact values, with the grain of salt that the relativity of the method is.

2. Are you actually aware that the math isn't about being "precise" in the sense of numbers but about relationships between abstract entities? Ever heard something about category theory or pretty much anything related to the abstract algebra?

3. Is there anything else than math that helps abstraction in your opinion? For what I know, even mediocre understanding of abstract algebra helps a lot. Please note that this question is totally non-ironic, I'd really want to know.
