The compromised servers might be doing some primary work to which these queries are incidental, rather than for the purpose of scraping the database.

In such a case, the API may be saving them from needing to build infrastructure to accumulate the database and either distribute slices of the data or host their own API for their distributed software to use.

While the database may be valuable, they'd still have to invest a lot of time and some amount of money, face the same need to secure their API against exploitation by others, leave a stronger footprint leaving back to themselves, and have to depend on a service that is more likely to get flagged as a sure sign of suspicious activity than HIBP...

This seems to be the problem people have with the thesis. If you're defining "superstars" as "cities that got highest% bigger since date X" and not "The Biggest Cities" your point and overall concept seem weaker.

From the article>>"...40% of the new jobs generated during that time went to the top 20 places, along with a similar share of the additional wages. Those cities represent only about a quarter of the country’s population and are concentrated in the fast-growing southern and coastal states. None were in the northeast, and only two were in the “rust belt” interior - Grand Rapids, Michigan, and a rebounding Detroit."

New York City is the capital of Norther American commerce and because of that it really can't expand the way that <mid-tier former manufacturing city anywhere else in the country> can, which weakens the overall point about "slow growth" or "getting left behind". Growth doesn't mean the same thing everywhere.
> GoT, Breaking Bad, Westworld

finished show with poorly received last couple of seasons, not a hbo show that's streaming on Netflix right now, 2-season old show with a silly 2nd season.

House of Cards was also kind of crap after 4 seasons (and even earlier if we're going to nitpick)

Breaking bad is now seen with rose tainted glasses, but I remember how some folks talked about it when the show was running (esp the fly episode).

Finally, if you're going to praise HBO, not mentioning The Wire is kind of ignorant.
Quickbooks (the software) is involved. Intuit is not involved.
To be more precise, ZFS snapshots are mostly just a timestamp reference, similar to how a git commit is just a reference to a git object. Writes don't change the value of the files in the snapshot because they're stored in new places rather than overwriting the existing files on disk.

JAX is a sophisticated and well implemented high level tracer, combined with a backend compiler that makes use of XLA. High level tracing has some fundamental draw backs in key features we want (efficient scalar AD for example), so the approach being advocated here is doing AD as a compiler transform on the original source language. Mike has some details in an earlier paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.07951. As a shameless plug, you can plug (heh) Julia into XLA as well, e.g. for targeting TPUs (https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.09868). In fact, Julia and JAX are probably better at that than TensorFlow, because the TF execution model is a bit of a mismatch for what XLA expects.

They started going downhill with every original show losing logical consistency after the 1st or 2nd season, political pandering instead of offering good quality entertainment. And the removal of the user reviews was a degrade, as they want to push bad shows to users and waste their time, instead of letting them make an informed choice. I hope they get disrupted because of their arrogance.

A lot of time is spend on the assembler versions doing the crypto, which is why they get used by various other projects like ring, boringssl, and the Linux kernel.

One thing the article doesn't mention for those of us who run Linux on laptops (There are dozens of us! Dozens!) is that having a swap partition at least as big as one's physical RAM (if not bigger) is mandatory for hibernation. Linux (like any OS kernel that supports hibernation) needs to save the current contents of RAM somewhere, and (last I checked) it'll only work with swap partitions (swap files don't work for some reason).

Please, still in 2019, be careful with JavaScript unless you're willing to deal with a lot of uncertainty.

Google routinely says how things are supposed to work, but there are plenty of examples where their crawlers act inconsistent to public statements. To be clear, probably not Googlebot's fault though; we as a species do a lot of weird things when building websites.

Just finished a big project with a client who had a client-side render of their react app for the customer facing website. Googlebot was VERY sporadic with how they were indexing certain parts of the site, and in general, the site lost out to inferior sites in more competitive SERPs. Server side render fixed a lot of this and rankings/traffic jumped.

It's also worth noting that the Bing/Yahoo crawlers (still a notable chunk of web traffic!) can't crawl JS. You can ignore this chunk of market share if you want but someone is going to happily take it.

As a general rule, my advice is always this: Make it as easy as possible for bots to crawl and index your site's content. The more hoops the crawler is jumping through, the worse your site will perform in search engines.

According to Bloomberg, the Mesdar is Liberian-flagged, 315,800 dwt crude tanker, which was Headed to Ras Tanura from Malaysia before turning toward Iran coast Friday.

The baby pictures are an issue. I had to make it clear that if they didn't text or e-mail me the photos, I would miss them. Also that I didn't want to miss them, but I was OK with it. Finally, I asked them to also add them to a Google Photos shared album for the family.

It's worked out well enough. Eliminating Google sounds too painful to me, so I'm glad my family agreed to share their photos on Google's platform for me.
Part of the problem with places like Alabama getting left in the dust is opinions voiced by elected officials in Alabama.

Databases are just one kind of stateful server application though, and yes I would agree with you for that usecase relying on it's underlying durability is a good thing, because it's built with that in mind.

Instead I would like to point out the ubiquity of things like nodejs, which make it all to easy for under-experienced developers to shoot themselves in the foot w/ a chaingun with respect to data design and management. It's not really the internal state of the nodejs process itself, it's the external state that it is inevitably being manipulated in the node process.

I talked with one of the people who's job it is to forecast the effects of cuts. The new administration's response was basically "we don't wanna hear about it and don't want to know, prepare to be reassigned."

This is not driven by accountants and budget people. This is driven by politics. Feel free to read Dunleavy's promises and budgets before election, and what he's doing now. He claimed there was hundreds of millions of easy money to be reclaimed without cutting important services. Turns out he was wrong, so he's going back on everything he said about the University and the ferry system.

He even cut funding to the courts because he didn't like one of their decisions.
This is the correct opinion.

What is worse is that the bugs are features.

Politicians and their donors deliberately broke cities for their own personal financial gain,
I'm not a sysadmin, and I'm pretty sure that <big company> does it different, but here is how I do it at home:

- I have a UnRaid machine, and a backup machine. The backup machine is a small itx board, and has a single HDD attached.

- A NodeRED instance has a so-called "Flow" on the UnRaid machine that is waking up the backup machine every 7 days.

- Thanks to anachron, with a 10 minute delay, rsnapshot connects to the UnRaid machine, pulls the data, and then issues a shutdown to the backup machine.

This setup let me sleep pretty well.
Can you name a single for-profit public records scraper who republishes the parsed data scraped without charging for data access?

Currently? Not off the top of my head. But there was one that scraped municipal records in a large midwest city and made them public for free because they were confusing to get to otherwise.

Unfortunately, the company was bought by a larger company and that portion of what they did was shut down.

Fundamentally, fragmentation. I think the Civil War is a relevant example, honestly. What happens when the disparity between the Silicon Valley elite and the Iowa cattle farmers becomes too much for one side to bear? What's weird this time is the technocrats are pretty spread out on the coasts, and then you have cities like Denver right in the middle. It will be a bit more nuanced than "North vs. South" next time.

Personally, I'd keep an eye out for easy scapegoats like immigration and other cultural issues to spark conflict. I'd also pay attention to economic churn rather than physical conflict. I have a hard time imagining our apathetic population going to war with each other in our day and age, but I can easily picture technology folks blacklisting 'undesirable' customers and blocking access to services, and rural folks putting obstacles in place for access to natural resources they largely control.
(Still) looking for a link to the PDF of it, but I’m reminded of David’s Gelernter’s “Mirror World” concept from the 1990s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_world), encountered it in one of my classes.

> But I see little reason that somebody over 70 at the oldest should be allowed to vote at all (let alone do something even more serious like hold public office!)

On the other hand, someone over 70 might be more likely to vote for the general good rather than their selfish interests.

Evolutionarilly speaking, the reason humans have old people at all is that they contribute wisdom. Otherwise, people would tend to die soon after their children reach adulthood. There's no incentive for evolution to favor useless organisms that aren't able to reproduce - so old people aren't useless.

There are a few dynamics at play here

1.) even with some declining cities, US cities are still some of the most powerful in the world. According to https://howmuch.net/articles/the-economic-size-of-metro-area... (2017) Bay Area economy is as large as the entire country of Nigeria, NY area is as largest as Canada, LA is as big as turkey! Even Portland is as big as Qatar! And with the global slowdown in 2018 and 2019, while US is the sole bright spot, the dominance will only be magnified.

2.) demographics is now shifting to where gen z is the biggest generation now. In 5-10 years they will be establishing families and moving to less crowded suburbs and smaller cities. Which means the mega cities will lose some growth and the secondary cities will gain.
A valid point could be compiler availability. Almost every platform imaginable has a C compiler. Not a language feature though, just a sign of popularity.
A lot of those geographic reasons to exist will probably cease to exist in the next 50 years, as global warming opens up new shipping lines, makes previously verdant areas uninhabitable, makes uninhabitable deserts verdant, changes ocean currents, remakes national borders, and prompts large & powerful cities to divert rivers away from weaker and wetter ones. Containerization already led to large shifts in the fortunes of some port cities, and that was just a technological development that encouraged deepwater ports. Imagine if the sea lanes themselves change.

I can see Northern Canada becoming an enormous boom area in 50 years, with the opening of the Northwest Passage for Asia <=> Europe trade, the need for resupply cities along that sea route, and the melting of the permafrost opening up parts of the tundra to agriculture or tar sands mining. Meanwhile, Florida and New Orleans may be underwater.

>the auto-playing of trailers at full volume is super-annoying.

This was baffling to me. I've rarely had such a stressful user experience as a trailer playing every single time I stop pressing the arrow buttons for a few seconds. Just because I stopped pressing buttons doesn't mean I want to see a trailer for whatever I happened to stop on - it means I'm thinking about something, or reading something, or looking at some other part of the screen, or am not even looking at my TV any more. It's hard to imagine a more malicious UX than one that plays video and audio at you every time you are not giving input. And because it's difficult to even find a state in that UI where you don't have something selected, I found it impossible to "escape" the trailers. It made me feel like I was in an advertising dystopia.
It's not unsurprising. Web development happens practically exclusively on desktop/laptops.

Down with the legacy /8s.
Yes, this is exactly correct. We try very hard to extend Julia with "mechanisms" not "features", such that if you don't like the exact way we're doing it, you can just do your own (with blackjack), while still re-using as much of the rest of the system as possible. The same holds true for AD. We think (and we hope) that Zygote (and related packages) will be an extremely good, general purpose AD system that's a good default, but if you're in a specialized domain, you may be able to do a lot better with a specialized AD transform (e.g. your domain might want to do part of the computation in the frequency domain automatically, or have a domain-specific optimizations that are not generally valid, etc.). Our user base is to varied to be able to prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach. The only thing we can do is provide the necessary mechanisms and high quality default implementations (as well as good explanations as to how things work) and let it loose on the world. Everything being in the same language helps enormously here, since even users coming from the scientific side are well versed enough in the language to at least be able to read and understand the semantics of code in the compiler (even if they think it employs dark magic).

Ctrl-d to return to intact and running vim instance.

As an aside, if you decide to use nano to edit config files, make sure you use nano -w (no wrap), otherwise you may find yourself with a non-bootable OS instance.

This, unfortunately, is the ultimate double-edged sword.
