My first and last experience with AirBnB was a lack of AC, fan, or anything in a very hot, humid home rental in Santa Monica last year for a month straight during an abnormally hot (go figure) summer. I had to find/invest in as large a box fan I could find, which I left for the next poor bastard.

Never again. My fault? Perhaps, but still, never again. Thanks for the memories AirBnB.
>I found there an apparently full collection of the Buffalo press and the journals of the neighboring towns, but no other American papers. I expressed my surprise. My guide said that half a century before the preservation of newspapers had become one of the most perplexing problems of library economy.

This was interesting to read! It turns out, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microform, microforms didn't really get going until the early 1900s.

Why would a customer service representative be allowed to write something so smarmy and condescending?
Email, phone calls, and even IMs has me thinking I might have some multi-threading capability and then came Slack to show me realit! (Nothing against it, I just have to limit my use of it since it really makes it hard for me to focus on tasks requiring more cognition.)
On the other hand, when an act of god occurs, airbnb holds the host completely responsible.

My wife and I own an airbnb (with a/c!). At midnight one evening, the a/c went out due to a mechanical failure. The temperature in the texas heat rose to 80 degrees in our condo. Our guests called us to complain.

We couldnt find any techs at that time of night (and at 1am we tried!), but had one come in at 8am the next morning - and it was fixed by 10am.

The guests asked for a refund from airbnb based on breach of contract...and airbnb agreed, saying our unit did not match what we had advertised. No matter that we've had over 600 very positive reviews in the past 5 years.

Maybe we owed the guests a refund despite trying to solve the issue as best we could. But seeing the internal inconsistency of this article angers me (our unit does have two ceiling fans!)

I’d like to know how they think pagers operate.
Collections of facts are copyrightable. Which is why you can go out and make a map of your local area but you may not copy the data from google maps. You may end up with the exact same data and that is ok because you both copied the same facts but if there is a mistake on google maps (Perhaps placed as a trap) then you can be caught if your map has the same mistake.
This design seems to be an example of a deterministic database system. There's an excellent review of deterministic databases here: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~abadi/papers/abadi-cacm2018.pdf

The core concept of all deterministic databases is simple: if your database is deterministic, multiple geographically-distributed replicas can execute the same transaction log independently, and they will all reach the same state. The problem of implementing a distributed database is reduced to implementing a distributed log.

However, there is one oddity of the Waltz design: the central locking mechanism. Other deterministic databases don't have anything like this, because it's not necessary. You can keep track of locks locally on each replica, and you can rely on every replica to reach the same conclusions about which transactions succeeded and failed, because they are deterministic.

Can anyone clarify why they are managing centralized locks?
Haven't tested myself, but the minimum for current SOTA NLP models is 1-2x Titan RTX.
A typical VC fund's portfolio has a lifespan of 8-12 years. This is the amount of time the venture principals have told their investors that, after which, they'll start realizing the value of the portfolio. Funds typically have multiple portfolios active concurrently, and additional investors may come in throughout the initial stages of a fund (couple years).

There isn't any way around this: at the end of the day, VCs want a return in about a decade. That's their window. They absolutely will sacrifice the long-term success of a company in order to attain a positive return within that decade, because that's when their investors want to see a return. What most people don't realize is that VCs are, usually, just middlemen. Maybe a firm is started by someone hyper-rich, but even in cases like this, they're taking in external money from dozens of sources to build these checks they write to founders.

Of course, they're not evil. In everyone's ideal world, they can see a return in their window and the business can go on to be sustainable and amazing. But the world isn't sunshine and rainbows; if they have to choose between "maybe successful in 20 years" or "sell it and break even", they're going to force a sale (if they can). I've seen it happen first-hand about three times (though, in these cases I witnessed and many I'm sure: the businesses had become "zombie startups" and likely wouldn't have seen substantial growth even with more funding. an early exit was the best outcome for everyone involved. But, in one of them at least, the CEO was pretty angry at them.)
I have an airgapped network for power plant control system development. A USB drive is used when I need to get data in or out. I know it's not perfect but it protects me from being negligent.
Just spent the weekend with my grandparents and their friends. Many of them are 90 plus, and are absolutely surprised to be alive - and have no plans or funding to keep going. Middle class background, high COL area. One will need memory care, no money for it though.

What an absolute nightmare. Hard to see this system being sustainable for more than a few more decades.

I upvoted you, but want you to consider how there can be dramatically worse bad actors than the government or legitimate companies (the insurance/credit/licensing stuff you mention): people end up in the hospital sometimes because someone else wants to hurt them. Simple example: spousal/partner abuse. More extreme but easily plausible in Vancouver: gang violence.

If I failed at a hit, and I can watch the POCSAG traffic and see the that the guy I tried to take out is in a coma (and not dead), and is in room 404 at Vancouver General Hospital, that's very valuable information.
These are states bringing g this issue. So it isn’t up to this particular administration in this case or even the DOJ.
This is bullshit. Why would any interview process filter out the factors that lead to screwing around, working on other things, or just burnout? They won’t and they can’t, as these are dynamic factors. Also I’m curious as to why you think a white board interview of all things is the deciding factor in at even minimizing this behavior.

A plausible reason why these behaviors are less common at google and Facebook etc is that they are paying much closer to “efficiency wages”.. if you’re working at the typical tech or Corp company you’re probably making shit pay, and why wouldn’t you study to get something better..

Google pays much better than average and is already top resume signaling, there’s just much less incentive to screw around.

Googles process is still not fantastic at filtering for general critical thinking.

Irony: the person referred to in the story may very well ended up at Google.

I know this possibility first hand. I worked for a shit shop nearby a Google office. My own fucking manager did whiteboard practice and ended up at google a few months later.
For me, it’s better at avoiding mistakes. The major one is separating bytestrings from strings, of course. Comparison operators not assigning a default order to different types (1 < "2" is now an error) is great. Division is more explicit. Explicit relative imports save me grief. Similar changes about providing APIs that are harder to misuse throughout the standard library.

No, I'm taking an illustrative (and, frankly, really apt) example as a way to show readers here (who like you aren't generally very receptive to feminist arguments) the power of "diversity" in a way that makes immediate sense.

I'm certainly not saying that no straight man could possibly have been offended by Epstein. But, just as a matter of historical fact, most of his marks were fine with him, and they were AFAIK exclusively straight men.

Emacs is fine. Emacs-lisp is good enough for what it was made for. Every few years someone gets a "brilliant" idea that it should be something else but that gets nowhere. Languages cannot exist in a vacuum. If there's a proposal to make it compatible say with Racket, then you'd have to create a strange hybrid of Elisp-Racket because you can't just make all the existing Emacs packages incompatible.
Wiki on bone resorption says the opposite, not sure at what intake levels though:

>Vitamin D increases absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestinal tract, leading to elevated levels of plasma calcium,[4] and thus lower bone resorption.
Doctor's are the "least optimized" group on that list but hardly suffering. They are indirectly the recipients of the medical system wealth. Doctors in other countries don't make anywhere as much. Getting screwed out of most of the pie doesn't mean you're lacking a slice. I'm from a family of doctors (not one myself) and even with medical school debt they are living very comfortably.

I agree 100% with this. I once had a project that was versions behind the current platform. I couldn't upgrade because the tools to upgrade were gone and I was constantly having to fire off questions to the lead contributor who was around for that version in order to get stuff done.

Upgrade as soon as a stable build of the major version is released and pay the engineering costs or be left with something worse than legacy.
From the experience with servers, having all DIMM slots populated(usually over two-thirds) clocks down the memory frequencies. Not something that you want for the maximum performance.

Its unclear what is this article about, yes large modules are expensive, but in DDR3 era 128gb dimms did not exist. You're paying the early adopter tax. If you want to get huge-ram systems for cheap, there are a lot of used 4-cpu servers, the whole system can be assembled for under $5k.
I would assume it’s the dependent libraries in your 27 project that no longer get support, not the language itself.
> Also, I can't imagine it's very convenient to manage a large number of separate keys.

You can have one secret master key and then derive many keys from that [1]. Without the master key you cannot tell that they are linked.

At a faang you'll never get the chance to ask the team you're joining this many questions directly, unfortunately it's also really heavily dependent on the team and manager. HR will usually give you some of these answers and will often stretch the truth except for benefits. Even then expect things like promotion processes to evolve, many things are never statically configured, even down to the small perks you receive every day. So here's the #1 question you need to ask, esp. at large companies:

1) How long has the team/project I'll be joining been around?

Are you joining a team that's in maintenance mode or are they projects other than just refactoring/simplifying or migrating code to the latest and greatest <programming language/stack(cloud)/jdk version/whatever>. As an eng and even manager you really want to join very young teams and large teams >= 6 people (is the company serious about this project? burn rate > 1 million year). That gives you most runaway to develop something new and then brag about all the features you landed at promotion. Most large companies give fledgling teams 2-3 years to become viable. Try to stay away away from teams that have been around for a long time unless it's your area of expertise or you're excited about the project/work.

2) What's the churn rate? Who's the oldest eng. team member (in terms of how long they've been on the team of course) and was the person promoted while working on the project? The higher the level this person is on the team the easier it will be for you to get promoted.

What's also chilling, when you think about it a little more, is that a group of civilian passengers made more or less the same decision, and that's the reason these fighter pilots survived the day.
I get what you're saying and I think you're pretty much describing what it will be like. But honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to it. To me it's like maintaining a favorite model train set or something. A labor of love.

(Going forward I'm more likely to use Julia, Haskell or Prolog than Python 3 for new code.)
"Declarative" is a means to an end. Imperative gets you there at the same rate. Garbage collection compensates for inadequate resource management facilities. Currying is a neat trick that is fun when you find a way to make it do something useful.

Algebraic data types and GADTs are clever ideas very far removed from most real problems faced by real programmers, who have problems no language helps much with, and where the best we, as language designers, can do is try to keep the hell out of the way.

C++ has lots of such stuff too, mostly in template land. They can be useful to maximize the generality of libraries -- sometimes enabling great libraries -- but for most programmers most of the time they are at best a distraction, and more typically generate mysteries that absorb unbounded time.

Mark Dominus has some of the most insightful writing on the experience of coding Haskell.

Because of the monthly hormone cycle, women can have a difficult time getting taken seriously at the doctor. "Your hormone levels are shifting, that's probably why you're experiencing _symptom_".

If you can show it happens throughout the month, and you have specific data relating whatever symptoms you're experiencing with your cycle, you're a lot more likely to actually get treated for the aliment.

Probably not much. What we are currently doing is more similar to the less sudden end-permian extinction, which nonetheless was quite a bit more deadly than the K/Pg extinction with an extinction rate in the 90% range.

I thought it was an elaborate prank and it wasn't really happening. My first thought literally was "someone is pranking us with CGI". It was just too unbelievable to really absorb. I only realized it really was happening when I discovered it was on all the channels, and when the second tower got hit.

This will go down in history as the most unbelievable screwup of three letter US agencies ever. It came out recently that Russian intelligence took the extraordinary step of warning the US a few days before 9/11 that shit was about to go down. Putin literally called Dubya and told him. He was ignored.

> Barring a proper contract, the basis for owing the debt is unjust enrichment.

And I want to add to this: patients can't even be held at fault for this: have no ability to even find out! I've asked and asked for this up front (after being hit myself with a huge bill for what was a tiny visit! No surgery, just an examination!), and been told by providers that it is "impossible" to provide even an estimate of a price, even when the provider has all of my insurance information. Which is bullshit.

To make a patient choose between an unknown bill and their health is extortion.

FDA says Juul ‘ignored the law’ and warns it may take action
I can understand that (it sounds like me, talking about Python 2, eh?)
That's not quite right since (1) it's about object lifetime, not variable scope (think of the elements of a vector), and (2) the liveness of a resource is not generally identical to the lifetime of any object because of things like two-step initialization or moves.

std::vector<int> v; // v's lifetime begins
// currently owns nothing, exactly as in two-step initialization
v = other_vector; // resource #1 becomes live
v = std::move(another_vector); // resource #1 dies, resource #2 becomes live
return std::move(v); // resource #2 now owned by returned object, will outlive v
// v's lifetime ends

I'd say RAII is more about making sure every resource always has an owner and that when an object dies, all the resources it owned are cleaned-up. And that works fine with two-step initialization.
They're calling a fan an air conditioner. That kind of language abuse is downright Trumpian. The nuances are important, and maybe the host was in the right, but that doesn't excuse the insanity of AirBnB saying one thing is, in fact, a different thing all together.
The number of people who fail to overcome it is close to the number of people who never get a grasp of what mathematics is about. Ask them. It comes up all the time.

It was a while ago but the upgrade was from 9 to 11. The first problem was the error message didn't give me a simple command to go step wise through the upgrade like:

----
Please upgrade to the next GitLab version before trying to upgrade to the latest. The command for upgrading to a previous version is as follows:

sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce=10.8.7-ce.0 -V

See the url below for available releases:

----

Going from 10 to 11 was even more difficult because the gitlab.rb file format changed and I was missing required information that was not apparent from the error messages after running "gitlab-ctl reconfigure" (I think the error was Chef related but my memory is hazy, below are the GitLab issues that finally provided a hint). This wouldn't be so bad if my GitLab 10 instance was working but after going from 9 to 10, all I got was a blank page so at this point I had no choice but to go all the way.

After finally replacing the gitlab.rb file with the template and adding back info from the old file, I was able to finally run reconfigure and update as needed. Of course, I was soon alerted by coworkers that their commits were suddenly being blocked for failing a commit pipeline. Overall it was not a fun experience and I'd rather not upgrade GL unless I have to but I also don't want to skip versions if I have to repeat the hellish upgrade process by manually babying the upgrade.

If a woman is trying to conceive it could be helpful to predict her fertility window using menstrual cycle tracking. Same with if she were trying NOT to conceive (so-called "natural family planning")

Doctors ask you if you have a regular cycle, the only way to know that is to track your cycle.

If you're having some sort of issue with your reproductive organs you may track your cycle for a few months to try to better pin down the issue.
I remember looking up and seeing a fighter jet circle the burning north tower for what I thought was a reconnaissance mission but then watching it take off across the Hudson and commenting to my colleagues that it must be on the hunt for another plane. It's crazy to think they were on a kamikaze mission.
We had a very similar experience with Gitlab too.

Our teams evaluated Gitlab for a year before completely migrating away from it (to Github Enterprise for SCM, Confluence for wiki, YouTrack for issues and TeamCity for CI).

Not a single team (out of 20) was happy with the overall performance (and especially the performance of code search).

As far as wiki is concerned, Confluence's UI has its own share of issues, even after their recent overhaul, but all in all it is much better product. YouTrack and TeamCity are simply much more polished & stable products and are (in our experience) easier to administer than the competing offerings from Gitlab.
