On January 25, 1798, Washington was elected President of the Confederate States of America. He later led the United States in the battle of Fort Sumter, North Carolina, in which he secured the passage of the Union Army, defeated the enemy and secured its last major victory. Washington was awarded the Order of the Pacific on December 27, 1798. His wife, Bea, was born in 1833 and settled in the Virginia river valley at East Mary Street, Bowersville. In 1855, Bea had married. Shortly thereafter, General John F. Washington was elected Governor of Virginia and commissioned to serve a year in captivity. He became enthralled with the Union and persuaded Henry P. Morgan, to meet his need for volunteers. Washington volunteered with the Federal troops using a French silver coin and with their aid the Americans located and captured the greatest concentration of troops there. After her capture, Bea was sent to Washington's camp in Richmond, Richmond and had a farewell ring to the American flag. It was this ring that Washington had set aside for himself with his death and a letter from his wife, who was

that makes total sense, and I love the concept. (even though I also want the recording of the presentation!)
Key word being "on linux". On the other 99.9% of devices, I have no such choice and the filesystem required by the OS simply presents a layer of incompatibility. Modern OSs all run on essentially the same hardware (same CPU architecture even!) but store the same data in different, incompatible ways. I want the filesystem to join the list of things that are no longer OS-specific.

I want my storage hardware to have a higher level API than "block device". I don't want to format a drive in some OS-specific format, I want a built-in format that I can access from anything. I want this format to be durable, well specced so that I can easily access historical data. I want embedded devices to support richer storage functionality than afforded by FAT32+.

Consider that before S3, we stored files on servers in bespoke ways where we had to worry about permissions and filesystem differences (path too long!) and encryption and durability and a hundred things that we now... don't. Instead we have a simple API with dozens of conforming backend providers, including the ability to do it yourself. Imagine if computer storage experienced a similar revolution?

It isn't so simple. As a manager, it is easy to incentivize "deliver as many packages as you can" (e.g., pay per package). It is not so easy to incentivize "deliver 83%[=1/1.2] as many packages as you can."

Furthermore, people always optimize what can be measured, and measuring safe driving, on a day-to-day basis, is harder than measuring number of deliveries (not impossible, maybe, but much harder---also less transparent, easier to game, more intrusive).

I've been following her writing for a long time, and it seems that writing a book about how "naturalness" hasn't been very good for particle physics got her somewhat radicalised, having far more scepticism than what seems warranted.

My point is that you picked an uncommon occurrence as evidence that sports are just as covert as wall street. I then rebutted your argument by pointing out that injury reports are public.

If it was utterly corrupt it would fail. If everyone is playing by the rules of the SEC/NFL then predicting future performance is much easier in the latter for all the reasons I previously stated.

Am I the only software engineer in the world who hates diff-based code review?

Imagine trying to evaluate the quality of a novel by examining diffs to the manuscript. Reviewing every diff means that every single change needs to yield a good novel. But that's an absurd constraint on the creative process - what if you want to introduce a new important character? You check in a new version of the first chapter where the character figures prominently, but the reviewer complains that the new character's plot arc never goes anywhere.

The main goal of this diff-based code review seems to be to prevent people from checking in bad code. But of course you should sometimes check in bad code (especially in the early stages of a project)! You might consciously check in some bad code temporarily, intending to upgrade the code at some future point. More importantly, you generally don't know how or if you're actually going to end up using any given piece of code. Spending a lot of time polishing and reviewing code that doesn't eventually go into the project is a classic example of premature optimization (the root of all evil).

Any reason laws can't be introduced making it highly illegal to pay a ransom, with serious criminal repercussions (same for government officials doing so)?

After all paying a ransom is very literally funding terrorism, in the most direct possible way.

"Whosoever knowingly pays a ransom", etc.

Of course those seeking a ransom could make their language less and less clear, so it's no longer clearly a ransom. But isn't that still an improvement over the status quo?

If you earmarked the last burger to multiple people, it would violate serializability, not linearizability. So you should be good on that. Violating linearizability would look like this: with no burgers left, the kitchen cooks a burger, marks it as available in the DB and then shouts that it's ready. A customer hears them shout and immediately tries to order it, but fails because the customer's transaction happened at an earlier logical time than the kitchen's. Kyle is saying there are still relatively small time bounds on such violations (usually?) so it's probably not the biggest problem your restaurant has to worry about (just apologize and have the customer try again).

Dealing with money is similarly not a problem. ACH takes much longer to clear than the uncertainty window of linearizability violations. The client probably won't be able to tell the difference.
Most d3 examples will have a "draw" function that you call every time the data is updated. You basically bind your dataset to SVG elements, then D3.js will diff the new data with that bound data and decide what to update. A good intro to the concept:

I personally usually am working in a React app, so I would use that to render (and update) the chart.

However, that's a pretty complicated example to start with! You might be better off using one of the higher-level libraries, like this one:

There are a ton to choose from (just google `js candlestick chart`), and they can be pretty customizeable.
“You might consciously check in some bad code temporarily, intending to upgrade the code at some future point.“

The problem is how often devs forget about “temporary” code.
Re: performance claims, well put. I often see coding decisions and review claims made on untested or outdated facts. For Java specifically three most common things I run across are:

1) Decision to use some kind of 3rd party library that purportedly speeds up handling primitive types (Trove specifically. Almost never worth it, and it's extra painful because it doesn't plug in well into the rest of the standard library).

2) Using mutable objects to avoid the inefficiencies of allocation and copying with immutable patterns. Can lead to a brittle stateful design with hard to track down bugs.

3) Reusing serialization artifacts across the call stack to save copying/allocation, again like 2). Now you end up coupling the API interface to layers deep in the call stack making things harder to modify.

Also best review advice I got and follow: be the first reviewer yourself! Looking at a nicely formatted diff really lets you see your code in a new light, and usually I end up doing several iterations before I run out of things to tweak. Things like forgetting debug log statements or commented out code, or dev settings, as well as other easy but effective improvements.
Ok, but city governments are frequently very large, which means bringing in an outside contractor will be very expensive. Remember that every level of contractor adds additional overhead in the form of city funds being shifted into company profits.

For a small city, then yeah outsourcing might make sense. For a large one? Probably not.

The maths for cost is very simple: every person the contractor brings in is being paid for by the government, but now in addition to paying those employees, you also have to pay for a separate set of managers, and executives, and finally the business markup for profit.

If your org is large enough there is no way outsourcing is cheaper - it may be “easier”, but it inherently must cost more.

Bitter fruit: The truth about supermarket pineapple (2010)
I’m inclined to agree with you about Apple Music and Spotify. Most of the Sherlocked apps become core features of iOS and watchOS, so I don’t know if a publisher/platform split would make a difference. These third party apps would need to be protected by a mandatory OS feature freeze, which seems unlikely.

Microsoft’s iOS apps also use good ideas from smaller third party apps, especially Outlook and OneNote. Since Apple made macOS and iWork free, and done the same on iOS, with no ulterior goal to eventually sell higher priced office software or operating systems, it isn’t analogous to Windows and Office, though customers should certainly maintain demand for that not to change.
It doesn’t sound like anyone is judging here. And I agree, I would hate being tracked on my phone. I don’t share my location permanently with anyone. That just seems odd for adults to do.

Because grokking 20 diffs across 5 files is a lot easier than grokking the entirety of those files and the context on which they live. If you assume the rest of the codebase meets some reasonable standard of quality the diff should be the only important thing.

That said, for particularly complicated changes I'll check out the code and read through it locally but diffing is surely optimized for the most common case.

I mean...if you want to do something that violates the 2nd amendment, but you want to keep it intact even more, then yes, you'll just have to give up on doing anything. If you don't want to do anything that violates the 2nd amendment, there's no point even discussing this.

> The main goal of this diff-based code review seems to be to prevent people from checking in bad code.

Perhaps some people use code review that way but what is "bad code"? Code that doesn't match your style guide? Style checks are better applied by automated tools. If you mean code that isn't as polished as possible, then the solution is to agree upon expectations with the rest of your team appropriate to the project and/or task.

Better goals for code review are knowledge transfer (both ways), design review (ideally on an early WIP branch), and catching mistakes and oversights.
