I do think "worth transitioning" is the final group of people who have the most reason to hold off. If new features are what made it worth transitioning, then it probably was 3.6 with async/await. If you relied a lot of unicode and already had a mature codebase, you'd wait too. If it was a new project you'd probably start with 3 much earlier because of unicode.

No, what you see on the news is whatever sells news. If murder is commonplace, then it's not news. If murder is rare, each event becomes a media storm.

I was trying to get airflow (https://airflow.apache.org/) up and running in the cloud. It has a few moving pieces that I didn't want to worry about. So I used a helm chart to install it - https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/master/stable/airflow
Maybe this is overkill but it was reasonably quick to get up and running, scaling workers will be trivial, and the Airflow Kubernetes Operator opens up a lot of options for tasks. The vanilla install was pretty quick. Understanding the configurations took a bit more time.
I would like to hear other thoughts about simpler ways to deploy this that don't require Kubernetes.

I used expect once some years ago, but changed to using ruby's #expect method[1]. I think the reason I changed was because, in TCL, some functions seem to keep track of stuff by setting variables in the caller's scope. So, if I took some code I wrote and defined a new function with it, substituting the code with a call to the new function, stuff would break because calls to predefined expect functions wouldn't have the same caller's scope anymore.

I wish I had a concrete example to share so someone here could confirm, but like I said, it was some years ago.

At least YOU got it.
You do realize that one of those cloud services you can use is k8s, right?

GKE is pretty amazing. They manage the k8s control plane for you, offer worker node scalability and you can use a decent, intent based, automatable API for declarative deployments. No need to mess around with VMs or proprietary lambda/serverless stacks.
It seems to me that offense at such questions being asked back is itself an indication of a misunderstanding of the meaning of the word "interview". The "inter-" part of the word denotes mutuality or reciprocity[1], that the questions and answers go both ways, so both parties may learn more about each other. An interview is not supposed to be solely an inquisition wherein the potential employer evaluates the applicants worthiness of the privilege of employment. It's supposed to be an exchange wherein both evaluate if this is a mutually beneficial business deal. And if a company considers it rude for you to want it to be anything other than a one-way inquisition of you, I think that's an indicator that management culture at that company will make for a work environment that's more stressful and less fulfilling than the rose-tinted one they present in the interview.

An aside, I say the above now, but damn, I wish I'd had understood it 10 years ago.

From the article and video, looks like the requirements are a thin tube and a block of translucent material to focus light onto the tube. And presumably the tube needs to be the right length, to give it enough sun time to react at a given flow speed.

I would guess that while the leaf shape in particular is not required, the loose space-filling curve is a good shape for the tube to get the most use out of the block. Could it perhaps be slightly more space-efficient with a rectangle and a heater-coil shape? Maybe, but I'd expect not by much, and I would expect other resource constraints (the reactants) to matter before you've filled all available sunny spots and need to maximize medicine-per-square-meter, if only because sunny rooftops are not exactly high-demand space.

> When those movements are even partly the product of foreign intervention

I feel this is a cop out. We live in a global economy and so all these things are highly connected. Your statement implies that our reporting of these events is intervention. May be influence, but I'm not sure that would be intervention.
Yeah that's true, I misunderstood.

He did mention in the talk that mod_perl was infeasible for this use case because it gave the user too much control. One user could override the Apache base_dir and redirect another user's traffic to his pages!!!

He said that as a result, hosting providers in the 90's would charge 100x the price for mod_perl hosting on a dedicated bare metal box, vs mod_php which could be shared. Didn't know that.

So I guess the answer is that mod_php has to be careful and not expose too many Apache hooks to the user.

The PHP interpreter does seem to have some unique qualities that make it good for embedding, compared with Perl, Python, Ruby.
Lacking an incentive to stay away from the hen house, foxes will naturally move to "guard" them.

Same thing with managers. Lacking an incentive to follow regulations, they will naturally focus on instinctual outcomes; working harder, producing more, building quicker, etc. You need to provide incentives to stop them from doing the obvious, instinctual thing. Just like Foxes!
That's good advice in general, but doesn't really answer the question of "How likely is it?".

If China decides to solve HK with force, there's nothing any other country will do militarily. As much as liberal Western democracies want to protect civil rights across the world, nothing militarily will be done. China is too strong, HK is too far away, and the West has let its military strength atrophy too far. Do you think Germany will ignore Bismarck's dictum?

They used to pass physical currency around. The US mint produced high denomination notes — up to $100,000 — for this purpose (no they weren’t because of inflation, like in Weimar Germany or Zimbabwe)
>Basically, conservatives are people who want to preserve the status quo (or perhaps go backwards to some halcyon time), and liberals are people who want a change to the status quo.

I believe you are confusing liberals with progressives. As for Fox News, as biased as they are, CBS, MSNBC and CNN are right up there with them.

Mainstream media is a sad circus these days, not a single of the outlets are even remotely interested in facts or even a hint of objectivity, it's all about attacking 'the other side' by any means.
Normal leaves can also produce drugs using sunlight.
It could also be asked for the opposite reasons. For example, some developers might consider it a "red flag" that companies prioritize diversity hiring and will want to stay away.
Yes and yes. A bank wire is the opposite of pseudo-anonymous though, especially with this kind of amount you'd have all sorts of eyes on you.
> Candidates might not want to ask, due to not knowing how the asking will be perceived. Or due to not wanting to mention some unapparent quality (e.g., being gay), because they don't know how welcome that will be, or they just want to be treated as, say, a developer, at that stage of meeting prospective colleagues.

Wouldn’t it be much better to be aware of this at the outset?

I have a tiny anecdote about China.

Long ago I spent days on Omegle (the random chat website). I talked to a chinese woman. Most chinese people I met there were pretty sensitive and slow to type (english is not their favorite language maybe). Rapidly I told her how much China has influenced me as a kid. Food, silk clothing, martial art, architecture, philosophy (that's a bit broader than China but you get it). She was happy for a second then said "well not everything is good here". Vaguely hinting at the idea that government was too strict. Nothing revolutionary but she then went silent all of a sudden. She apologized a few times for saying such things about her country with some "oh my god" and then left.

I since know a bit more what freedom of speech means.

Consider this hard fact:

"Blacks are just 13% of the population but responsible for a majority of all murders in the U.S...."

from the Wall Street Journal:

One must conclude that, a priori, blacks are more dangerous that whites. Ergo, one would be wise to take fewer risks when engaging blacks in any way. This isn't necessarily racism, but merely common sense and one should not be surprised to find that, as the sinapticas article states(concerning policing):

"In prior studies, participants were significantly more likely to shoot an unarmed black individual than a white one."

Finally, to the above and other questions such as

My US bank account has zero transaction fees and if I had this kind of money I do not see why I could not transfer for zero fees (don't see a limit anywhere). And if making smaller transactions, apps like Venmo can transfer money both instantly and free (unlike Bitcoin).

But on the other hand it goes against every rule about privacy, why do people know how much I have, or what I buy, the only privacy this give is privacy by obfuscation.

This is the part which confuses me about Bitcoin the most. It's meant to be anonymous, yet with some diligent data mining, it can become pretty clear who's who from their spending patterns by observing the ledger. How is that remotely anonymous?
In a way. Washing it is pretty easy though. Send $50 into whatever exchange-du-jour is popular, then withdraw it back out into a clean wallet. Now you can buy all the Mars bars you want.
Do you really think people use 400,000 transactions costing $20 apiece to move large amounts of money? If you keep a billion dollars in a bank account (!) you can simply call your private banker and have it done with no fee.

It appears they overpaid by a factor of 20 or so. Anything beyond the first 0.003267426 (33 usd) or so was just charity.
My bank charges a percentage for wires over a certain amount.
The actual people who transfer $1 billion between each other (financial institutions, large corporations, and private investment vehicles) don't pay any fees either.
One question I like to ask is "Tell me about the worst day (work-wise) you've had in the last six months." Most of the answers I've had gotten generally have to do with escalations and I find that answers are quite honest and unpracticed. I think the way a team/company handles an unusual high-stress situation is in many ways telling of the team/company dynamic in general. And as a bonus, there's usually a good anecdote about a buried body or two in their codebase, process, you name it.
Yes, if your time -- needed to provide the thorough documentation for such a huge transfer -- is worth nothing.
I'm pretty sure you can leave in the first weeks easily in most countries.
I think you're confusing the real-world version of you that has to pay $20 per transaction with a hypothetical billionaire version of you. People moving large amounts of money around don't do 400,000 transactions at $20 a pop.

When I was first learning to cook, I found this very frustrating too. Like, why can't someone just write down the precise amounts of everything and then a great recipe could actually be reliably shared and repeatable?

My moment of enlightenment came when I realized that many of the fundamental units of cooking are wildly variable. A recipe for baked potatoes that says "Add 1.3582 grams of salt" can have as many significant digits of precision as you want, but it won't fix the problem. One potato might be 50% bigger than another. Even potatoes of the same size may vary in water content, starch, etc. Even different kinds of salt vary in how salty they taste.

When a recipe says "Add 1-2 tsp salt" or "adjust to taste", it's not that the recipe is vague, it's that it's parametric. What it's really saying is that the ingredients you already have going will influence how much of this new ingredient you need so that's where you need to make some choices. The vagueness itself, compared to other ingredients which have precise quantities, is a useful signal for you to know which parameters need tuning and which don't.

It is a problem that it means you can't guarantee a new recipe will come out great the first time you make it, especially if you are a new cook. You're basically turning a knob blindly to see what happens. But for most recipes, there isn't really an easier solution. Imagine a recipe like, "Weigh the potato and then immerse in water to measure its density. Add a quantity of salt based on the following formula..." Would that work? Maybe. Would it be less work than just trying it a few times and getting a feel for it? Probably not.
I am not sure how bank handle such large transactions (100 milion+), but transferring millions is very cheap or for free - at least with standard IBAN within EU.

Yes, you described addiction, which is a local optimum compared to being a little less addicted, because addiction traps your brain. Breaking addiction is better buy not adjacent.
It's a bit more than that. There's usually quite a bit of flexibility in when to yield, and the consequences might not be that bad. These instructions had to be issued in a very timely way, lest the whole system would come crashing down. Was it unique in that regard? Perhaps not, though "common" is a bit misleading when the computing landscape at the time was so small and fragmented. The difference is that other architectures might have shared one or two misfeatures with Stretch out of unfortunate necessity, but the Stretch designers seemed determined to collect the entire set and then expand on it. I'd guess that, like some projects I've been on, it was a case of one powerful or well connected group of people pushing as much complexity as possible onto another. So it's probably related to the "project management failure" sub-thread.
