I'm not following what you're saying it's a test run of. I agree that he probably wanted to cease being BFDL because it's a big job, but with the caveat that I'm terrible at following Internet drama, he did seem genuinely surprised at the outrage.

Regarding that it took 25 years, the normal Python syntax has been enormously successful. People don't tend to look for problems in things that work.

J&R was a brick-and-mortar store in Lower Manhattan just south of City Hall Park. It closed down a few years back.
I think most of the time works that brought something new to the table and artistic tradition is remembered through time. Also if the artist is a master of the craft, popular and says something is his best work, that work is usually remembered.
NextCloud is great if you don't mind managing your own VPS. I run a NextCloud instance for some personal projects.

That said, if you're looking for a Dropbox alternative that functions much like Dropbox (but with better privacy and better pricing), feel free to try Sync.com (full disclosure, I work at Sync).

Choice is good!
Thank you for the response Ed, it's crazy that you stumbled upon this post without any outside influence whatsoever ;) I'm always eager to hear your perspective on things.
Aren't plants not very protein-dense?
It's just a really solid markup for large plaintext documents with automa(g/t)ic formatting and the ability to embed:

-Arbitrary code which can be executed and which can update/operate on the contents of the document

-calendars

-hyperlinks

-images and other media

-tables which can also act as spreadsheets a la Excel

It also lets you export to just about any format including HTML and pdf via TeX, and it has broad integration across emacs so you can easily invoke portions of org-mode from your other buffers/modes.

In other words it's a really flexible medium for representing and working just about anything in a plain text file. I use it as a bug tracker for personal projects, I use it for self-documenting code ("literate programming", as they say), and I use it for writing prose that I intend to export to PDF such as reports and other things because frankly org is a much saner way to write latex/xetex/whatever.
Has there ever been a widespread, harmful teen phenomenon that wasn’t an overblown moral panic? Whether it’s tidepods, sexting, or fortnite bullying, it seems like journalists and politicians would rather focus their energy on this kind of nonsense than actual concerns (proper sex education comes to mind).
Isn't the world more fun if people can customize their computers? Weird and zany cursors add some flavor. Let people be people. In other words, should everyone live in an IKEA catalog house?

Reminds me of the movie Snowpiercer[1]. The "protein blocks" served to the population are made from ground-up cockroaches.

The setting is on a train during an ice-age so they really need to make use of the space efficiently. They don't really go into what the cockroaches eat, I can only assume waste from the population.

No we don't.

FYI, there are no "world leaders" and whatever corrupt bureaucrats they come up with to fake that, they have absolutely no right to force me to do anything about it.
So in order for us to farm these flies, they need organic food. So we're back to growing food for our food, just like we do for livestock.

This already happened. Frameworks like Next.js, Vue and Gatsby do server-side rendering out of the box.

Svelte also extremely promising. It brings a brilliant hybrid solution to the table.
Oh you can set limits. And then Windows will promptly ignore them, at least under certain circumstances. Why I have no idea.
>About 14% of middle and high school students reported getting a sexually explicit image from someone they were dating, while 11% said they sent one. Around 14% of respondents said they had gotten a sexually explicit image from someone they weren’t romantically involved with.

It's interesting how facts are used. The above 14% statistics are presented as a way of saying that there's not really a problem. After all, if only 1 in 7 kids is sending explicit imagery, it's not a big problem, right?

Putting it another way would be that 1 in 7 teens commits felony possession or distribution of child porn. That's how law enforcement views it in some states!

My son is 11, and we haven't broached this specific topic, but we do consistently remind him that he should treat any electronic communication as if he expected it to become public.
When using ES for indexing and not the primary store, you can (and should) periodically fully reindex the data set. You can use a blue / green pattern — create a new index then swap from the old one to the new one. ES supports aliases, making this swapping transparent to the apps using the index. Now you have more options.

If it is easy to delete specific users from the primary database, the deleted users will naturally disappear during the next ES reindex.

Edit: The old index is deleted at the file system level.

If the reindexing occurs daily or weekly, perhaps this will satisfy GDPR.

There are other good reason to not use ES as the primary data store. First, it isn’t entirely reliable. It’s good and I’ve never seen a corruption, but ES and Lucene’s history isn’t as a reliable database. Second, if you want to change how you index, it is a bit easier to do if the source data is outside of ES.

I think fizzbuzz is an interviewing artifact. I've never worked with someone who couldn't write a fizzbuzz. But I've heard lots of stories of people interviewing them.

I think the reason is the number of times a developer interviews is reciprocal of his talent. Great developers don't have to interview often. Anyone who has worked with them will vouch for them and they pass most of their coding interviews. Really shitty developers have to interview 100 times before they get a job. So you interview 100x more shitty developers than great ones.

* This description is to illustrate a point. I know there are plenty of great developers who interview terribly and shitty ones who interview well, but on average good developers interview better than bad ones.

His dog's "reaction" is all based on his conjecture that its behavior is due to the same phenomenon that he describes hearing. Same with the water.

There's no evidence presented that links the waves with the sound he claims to hear or his claims that the dog's behavior is abnormal. But part of the problem there is that the filmmaker is choosing to strike (IMO) a very mysterious tone with the editing and score. If we wanted to be non-nutcases, we'd cut to the MD PhD human audiology expert or the physicist or someone who would be able to substantiate or refute the claims.

"Yes, I've sampled all kinds of places and this low frequency band is not normally so powerful."

"Yes, some humans can hear this band. We did a controlled test with the subject and he had abnormally good response at the low frequency range."

We didn't see anything of the sort. So either the filmmaker decided not to consult experts, decided to put that towards the end (), or consulted them and they refuted the claims.

() I'm not patient enough to get past the video where the nutcases debate the priorities while exploring the wilderness.

DVD drives weren’t even a thing when people stopped buying soundcards. Yeah a small selection wanted 3d sound for a gaming edge, and that was available on low cost cards pretty soon.

Before that they a place, but all features were available through software. The mixer, sampler, channels.

I totally disagree. VueJS and AngularJS feel like PHP/ASP but I never got that feeling from JSX.
But they are not second class citizens, they are completely over represented in high paying jobs, elite schools and what not. This is mainly an argument to make the playing field in a way which favors their style of culture (hardcore work ethic, to the exclusion of balance) to even a higher degree. Look at Asia, which is a supposed meritocracy when it comes to exams, a single exam determines the entire life of a person for the most part, don't know about you but to me that is not the type of country i want america to become.

If you can use the stock in any way, including as a collateral, you have had a taxable gain...

Taxable gain in pretty much all of the Western World results from "dispositions" of items, which includes non-sale transactions.

Also, the kind of stock we are describing was issued as compensation, and taxation was either reduced or deferred depending on the circumstances, so it is entirely appropriate to tax certain non-sales gains related to the stock.
Last 30 days - got it!

That's an interesting angle regarding Alibaba. The hard part might be automatically grouping similar items, but definitely can see the huge value in this.
Reducing your business costs by scraping a public access website is often considered an alternative to paying the business costs of the website operator.

Are you saving money at the expense of the site operator by scraping their site for public records, or are you saving money as well as the site operator?

If you're costing them money to reduce your own bottom line without their express written consent, that makes you "the bad guy". Offsetting costs onto an unwitting, non-consenting third party is an unethical approach to doing business.

I interpret your request as a similar problem to "help me with my homework problem". I could dig up papers and studies, but at the end of the day, you need to go do your homework. Reach out to each municipality and figure out a business arrangement with them that satisfies your needs. It's possible they do not wish you to perform this activity, in which case you will either need to violate their intent for your own profit using scraping or accede to their wishes and stop scraping their municipality. That's your homework as a for-profit business.
GCP has made some great improvements, and in my opinion has the most intuitive interface for developing cloud apps (ESPECIALLY when compared to an interface like AWS).

I agonize about this every day, since a large part of my job is aggregating data from many sites that seem hell-bent on not letting anyone access it without going one-form-at-a-time through their crap UI.

The thing is, we would gladly pay these companies for an API or even just a periodic data-dump of what we need. We've even offered to some of them to write and maintain the API for them. They're not interested, for various industry-specific reasons.

I often wonder how much developer time and money are wasted in total between them blocking and devs working around their blocks.
Have you used Riot on mobile recently? Sure it's not perfect, but it consistently outperforms FB Messenger on my very poor phone.
The general austerity theory is contradicted by the fact that government budgets in most of the US haven't been reduced.

The problem is the largest programs that already eat most of the budgets continue to expand to consume everything that's left. We dramatically increase taxpayer-funded healthcare spending while doing nothing about underlying healthcare costs and then wonder where all the money went.

Dumping a trillion dollars over twenty years into wind turbines, solar panels, batteries and power-to-gas would go a pretty long way without draconian measures. Providing strong monetary incentives to insulate buildings and install heat pumps doesn't have to be authoritarian either.
" Certainly economic freedoms taken for today will be a thing of legend (and possibly horror.)"

We already have plenty of rules that restrict economic freedom like not being allowed to steal or to kill people or thousands of others. If we have rules that limit the freedom to pollute there is plenty of economic freedom left. People and businesses would adapt quickly.

The big risk of sexting seems to be idiot prosecutors going after kids for it being technically production and distribution of child pornography, leading to cases where the victims are also the perpetrators.

I went deep down the rabbit hole for almost a month trying to figure out how to farm escamoles[1] in an industrial ant farm. They sell for $40-100 per kg and are apparently delicious (still haven't had the chance to try them myself). I decided I didn't want to spend the effort involved in trying to set up the world's first industrial ant egg farm but all the research did convince me there should be a market for insect protein, although I think the effort should be directed at feeding livestock.

Chickens are an obvious option but what really stuck out to me was the opportunity for feeding farmed fish. Farmed fish need protein to grow (duh) and the protein they are fed is generally fishmeal made up of smaller "worthless" fish caught by commercial fishing vessels. The problem is that it takes 5 lbs of fishmeal to grow a pound of farmed fish. Not very sustainable if farmed fishing is supposed to protect wild fish populations. Fishmeal fetches a price between $1500 and $2000 per metric ton [2], so there is a market for a viable replacement.

In the end, I realized I was basically redesigning a company that a fraternity brother had started several years earlier - Grubbly Farms [3]. All this is to say that I think insects as a protein source are very exciting and I look forward to seeing how the industry evolves.

Young children find bugs fascinating, until someone tells them not to touch them.

Cooked maggots would seem like something adaptable to food, they have the appearance of rice after all.

It's just the fact that when you encounter maggots in a trash can or something, whatever they are eating is rotten and smells so putrid you associate them with that smell.
We use it for a number of things, including production and building user applications there. Costs are way below running just one Jenkins master node, if there are any. Most months it costs zero.

You are right that it is less configurable out of the box. We've added a layer on top to help.
The service doesn't really bring anything new though, all you really need is to autoreply asking for payment, if you want to go the extra mile you can set up some way for people to actually pay you, I don't think that part would actually be required though.
It's not a good thing, that MS is only gaining more power. Their monopolies are bad, like Windows on the desktop. Displacing them is not easy due to entrenched control that MS has over many markets.
The IRS appraisers were a panel of museum curators that exists to appraise items like this.

The IRS apparently did not tell them that the item to be appraised was in fact not saleable under other laws. (This article is from 2012, so the situation has been resolved for years.)
If a study says something is overblown, check to see if it provides a correct level of blown-ness or a threshold for something to be a reasonable moral panic. If not, they haven't provided a falsifiable hypothesis.

In this case, they have a survey with numbers of how many teens sext. What numbers would have resulted in a different conclusion?

To me, "18% of 15-year-olds reporting that they sext" seems like a lot of people doing something extremely dangerous.

I haven't used swap for decades now. Does it make sense for you? Depends on whether you exceed the physical amount of RAM in your machines often. Personally only when a bug occurs, and I’d rather the process was killed.
The contractor's handbook on Amazon is a good resource, probably goes more in details than you'll need but if you're an overachiever it's a good read.

From my personal experience I would say, if you're considering contracting you've been a dev for quite some times, don't let impostor syndrome settle in. Trust yourself. It's not harder to be a contractor than an employee, it just pays more.

For understanding of the market, fill your linkedin profile with as much as you can, so people find your profile when they do linkedin search. As a web developer contracting, you should get half a dozen interesting messages weekly, filtering people who contact you for completely unrelated stuff.

If you do that for a while, you can start seeing trends (more active months, average rate, amazing rates, technology etc.).

If you have time to spare, try to negotiate as hardball as you can at first. If people are not saying no to your rate, you're probably underselling yourself. If you're in a rush, then start with what you see as being the average rate instead.
"So it's nice to think that maybe this could work to turn food waste back into edible protein, but is this actually more efficient than just composting the waste and using it to grow crops? Sure, maybe this is a good source of protein, but so are, say, beans, right?"

The reason that I am currently (as in, right now) building a soldier fly breeding box to mass produce these larvae is that the exit ramp of the box goes directly into the chicken run.

The conversation that spurred this was a thought experiment wherein a friend and I wondered how we might keep our flocks going in the absence of chicken feed available for purchase.

It's easy for him: He lives on many acres of flat, tillable land in Minnesota - if he wants his chicken flock to be self-sufficient he can just grow and harvest corn.

Our ranch is in Marin County, however, and while I have more than double the amount of land he does, very, very little of it is flat and almost zero is tillable. We're not going to take the precious 2-3 acres of flat land we have and grow corn in rows on it.

Hence the soldier fly larvae breeding operation.

As for efficiency, we are converting food scraps to larvae to chicken eggs. So the original input is "free" but there are then two animal conversions involved to produce the chicken egg since we have no intention of eating the larvae themselves.
See my reply to bryanrasmussen for a full explanation.

Basically: you reindex ES periodically, so when a user is deleted from the primary, it will disappear from ES upon the next reindex. The old index is deleted at the file system level.
Honest question. If during the warmest periods ice melts all over the planet, wouldn't ice cores lack carbon measurements for those periods? I'd love an answer from someone with some expertise.
The OOM killer is just fine for stateless server applications, but pretty much anything else and it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Containers don't really solve your problem, it just adds a layer of indirection between the processes hogging RAM and the OOM killer, which in my experience adds even more uncertainty into what the OOM killer is going to do.

> Sexting was defined for respondents in the survey as “when someone takes a naked or semi-naked (explicit) picture or video of themselves, usually using their phone, and sends it to some-one else. The image is called a ‘sext’.”
Many big impacts are controlled at the local level: infill development, for example, is one of the best ways for the Bay Area to reduce its emissions. Statewide, 41% of California emissions come from transportation, more than any other source.

https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2017/06/climate-chan...

That is only going to change through local action, which means going to city council and planning meetings and being willing to be yelled at and lied about by those who oppose all new housing.

So it's not enough just to go alone, you need to find local friends, get them to go too, and to make sure that this viewpoint is represented in these highly undemocratic forums in which local decisions are made.
When I think of sexting I think of baby boomers like

the teens I know today smoke pot more than they smoke tobacco and they smoke pot less than when I was growing up.

As much as older folks like to fantasize that young people do it like bunnies, I think the issue with kids today is that they aren't going to have sex enough to reproduce themselves,

> Who owned the real estate? Ray Kroc?

From wikipedia:
At the closing table, Kroc became annoyed that the brothers would not transfer to him the real estate and rights to the original San Bernardino location

Regardless of the legal agreements, the intent was the same. Since the beginning of this thread, it looks like nitpicking to avoid concession, so you can believe what you want. GL with that.

To recap, history. Ray Kroc is analogous to Adam Neumann. 2 founders who leveraged real-estate over the initial franchise business. Substituting McDonald's in name for Ray Kroc is a matter of a temporal situation (or laziness).
