I dont understand why me as a developer is using MS excel? or excel at all. I live in a JS world and my data is always noSQL/JSON or for relational purposes some sort of SQL.
I would never export a DB to crunch numbers in excel for a plethora of reasons. And for any statistical insight i would hope the service itself you are using [because i know you're not reinventing the wheel here] would provide you with the correct numbers with graphs you would have never even considered, simple example google analytics etc

No doubt, the American healthcare system is completely screwed up, I'm just pointing out that catastrophic healthcare insurance is not worthless. Unless you are completely destitute and have no assets that you can lose to pay off catastrophic medical bills, it may very well be worth the high cost.

Is this a fiat gateway for USDT? (aka Tether, the "stable coin" which is the subject of NYAG’s lawsuit: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/20978/ny-attorney-genera...)

EDIT: Ahahahaha. Nope. You can buy USDT but you can't cash out. Note that there is a tab for "USDT Markets", and there is no USD entry in that list. Hotel California-coin.
Young people now think it’s ok to send out a message and respond whenever they feel like it. Communication is no longer a conversation in the tradition sense, it’s a series of monologues or statements where the sender usually only cares about whether you are impressed by the statement.

IRC was all about conversation. You went there to have a conversation, like a party line voice bridge. You even waited around for someone to have a conversation with... oh I miss it...

It looks not spectacular but OK, but I would never switch my main phone there for one reason - it's not their core business. They could decide to kill it any moment. Even though it's not too hard to switch, it's not worth the hassle. If it were half-price of other plans, maybe, but it's roughly the same, maybe different features a bit.

You can measure the impact on loading time, and the size of the protobuf implementation you're using probably has an impact on the threshold at which it becomes more efficient. I don't doubt that parsing a 500 character long JSON string is probably faster than loading a protobuf to do it instead. In fact, apparently this JSON parsing trick is only effective beyond 10K or so. But past a certain threshold memory bandwidth is more crucial than loading code. If your data consists mostly of booleans and integers then JSON can often be an order of magnitude larger in size than protobufs. If it's compressed, then decompressing it takes clock cycles and the parsing code is still parsing the larger uncompressed JSON text. A protobuf library can often skip compression altogether by virtue of using normal ints and bits for numbers and booleans. So while the protobuf library does have some additional overhead it's often higher throughput for many types of data.

Re: Ghost Cities

I didn't claim there are none? Though if we are on the topic they are loaded propaganda characterization like "debt trap" to paint a certain image of Chinese (mis)allocations of resources which was used to support unending China inflate GDP, China collapse theories that have failed to manifest. The alternate narrative is that these are under-utilized cities that will slowly become populated as Chinese urbanization continues. Chinese urbanization targets is 50% to 80% in the next 30 years, or 400 million people and 100 million more new residential units. Building new cities ahead of time and populating them on a 15 year phase is literally part of the development strategy [1]. That's not to dismiss the wild speculation that surrounds these development, and that some will take longer than others, but many previously touted ghost cities are reaching targeted capacity. Often after transit infrastructure is finalized.

This kind of alarmist news has happened for decades. I don't know how you're drawing conclusions that reporting on China has focused on quaint Chinese interest stories, or that China somehow managed to conceal it's nature all this time. When the dominant coverage is has been over the scale of Chinese modernization and the sustainability of Chinese development model including ghost cities, previously they might have been filed under human interest. Now they're given more significance post Olympics -> global financial crisis which China percieved as failure of western systems -> China decided to be more assertive -> China 2025 / SSC makes Obama pivot to Asia -> present day trade war / great power competition with US. Non of this is new. It's just being activated opportunistically now.

As for despot / emperor / dictator Xi, this again is a profound naive social media tier hottake. Xi has to play domestic politics and is beholden to the CPC politburo standing committee. Repealing term limits required the consent of standing committee, same with his recent elevation to people's leader at BeiDaiHe this year after failing a year before. His power is not absolute. There's various analysis of his ascent and relative power in the Chinese system, but the one I subscribe to is that Xi was elected internally to shepherd China through a difficult transition (middle income trap / demographic bomb etc / reunification). The CPC is flexible enough to nominate a despot when the situation calls for.

An ecosystem has evolved around Borg. Custom hardware, kernel, schedulers, telemetry, atomic clocks, networking, security, management... have all evolved around Borg proper to meet the "enterprise" needs of one of the largest enterprises in the world. It has many niche (i.e. not generally useful) cababilites built to service hardware melting XXX megawatt applications like web indexing, gmail, colossus. Even if Kubernetes targeted this customer, Borg has a significant head start. At this point the Borg ecosystem is almost old enough to by cigarettes in Mountain View.

This is an interesting point. Can you vote in elections at all? I'm curious as to the nature of the representation you desire. Would there be some kind of "expat" state with senators and representatives? How would this compare to the representation of territories like Puerto Rico?

“...Concluding on a lighter topic, let me remind the GGP community of what I recall as probably the most memorable moment of the first campaign. It occurred at the GGP Workshop in Munsbach Castle, 1999, when Virtanen was describing the effect of snow cover on the residual gravity at Metsahovi. He showed a figure of gravity increasing by about 2 microgal over a 4-h period as men shoveled snow from the roof of the SG station, when a member of the audience asked why there was an interruption in the rise of gravity, Heikki said this was a 'tea break'...”

The $15 a host thing was only true before they started charging for custom metrics. Now they want you to add APM to your plan and it's much more expensive.

I'm transitioning off of DataDog right now because of this change. My contract came up for renewal and they want to charge me a TON more because of my custom metrics.

All my custom metrics do is track the time of each request. It's basically APM but I've had it setup for years, way before they rolled out APM. So yeah, $15 a host would be awesome if that's actually what the price was. But why would you pay $15 a host and only get CPU/memory charts? That stuff is built into AWS... So I'm not even sure what the $15 gets you that is actually useful.
Yeah this already exists and was done pretty well actually.

It isn’t really fair to pick on Linode, all US hosting providers work the same way.

When someone files a DMCA claim, if you want to keep the content up you need your lawyer to file a counterclaim. Hosting providers are then allowed to leave it up, and you can fight about it in court.

It sounds from this article like the newspaper didn’t have a lawyer, or at least not a lawyer familiar with American law. That sucks but all you can really do about it is to get a lawyer, or use a non-US hosting solution.
The biggest principles for emerging good code for me are:

Inversion of control (pass in your dependencies), keep your architecture orthogonal (make it composeable and really think if you need to inherit things rather than delegate them), code-generation of a transport api via gRPC and only focus on the business logic implementation.

There are enough US citizens abroad to justify about 7 or 8 members of the House of Representatives, but how would you allocate them?

There are enough in Mexico, and enough in Canada, and maybe enough in the Philippines to have one Representative for each of those.

The rest, though, are sufficiently spread out that when you group enough different countries together to get enough US citizens for a Representative, that Representative will have such a diverse group of constituents with such diverse concerns that it is not clear the Representative could actually effectively represent them.
As far as I can tell, a counter-claim can only be submitted after the allegedly infinging content has been removed. So it cannot be used to defend against a takedown notice. The content must be removed regardless of whether or not you have a valid counter-claim.

Moreover, there's a 10-14 day waiting period before the ISP can allow the content to be put back online. It's a ridiculous process that allows anyone to take down any content for up to two weeks for any reason. Two weeks is an eternity in today's news cycles.

1% of us will take the troubles to protect themselves. We'll even marginally succeed, as long as we don't go out in public or visit a friend's house. Too expensive to circumvent protections if the other 99% have no [time to develop an] understanding of what they are exposed to.
For most companies it's either very difficult or unattractive to acquire a controlling stake without negotiating a deal with the company's management. The alternative is a hostile takeover which requires enticing shareholders with above-market tender offers. Hostile takeovers become borderline impossible if a company like Datadog has implemented a poison pill as part of their shareholder rights plan. Yet another alternative is a creeping takeover wherein Cisco would try to gain a controlling interest by gradually buying shares on the open market, but this can take a very long time.

Quantum entanglement is much more feasible instead.
Still in college, last year of a CS degree. My favorite year, my thesis was a space combat game altered to run on a P2P architecture. The highlight was an engineer from Havoc (who did the physics engine for half life) visiting to check out the demo. It was running on 30 PCs simultaneously - we had to bring in 5 friends to run around restarting the ones that crashed while we distracted the visitors. Fond memories.

Plus working in a video rental store in evenings & weekends to support. And usual student layabout stuff like games, drugs & travel.
Yeah but for me, and probably many other people, it really felt like we were just on the verge of moving past all that. Up until about, say, 5-10 years ago. Now it feels like we took a sharp turn off a cliff, into some kind of feverish madness.

Your grep result of Linux is because the regex is bad. `\t` does not seem to be available in the grep basic syntax. It is available with Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, but then you can't use `\>`.

Changing it to

$ git grep -P '^[\t ].*[a-z].*\*[ ]*const\W' v4.9

returns 1,779 matches. Here are some from kernel/

v4.9:kernel/time/posix-cpu-timers.c: struct signal_struct *const sig = tsk->signal;
v4.9:kernel/tracepoint.c: struct tracepoint * const *end)
v4.9:kernel/tracepoint.c: struct tracepoint * const *iter;
v4.9:kernel/tracepoint.c: struct tracepoint * const *end,
v4.9:kernel/tracepoint.c: struct tracepoint * const *iter;

Many of the matches are the same as your "array of string constants" example, but just defined at local scope. And many are just constant local variables which some may not consider worth making const. The ones from tracepoint.c above are probably walking an array of const pointers by pointer instead of by index for example though, which is a common case where pointers to const pointers are used, which are legitimately useful.

Of the people that receive information from the outside - and are actually on the outside - there is only an extremely small subset bothered by it in the way you want them to be.

Think about it like if you found out that the Waco disaster was actually a much larger massacre against an ideology that wasn't really that fringe. It wouldn’t really change your mind about the viability of your country or the federal government based on the excessive response to that incident - even after you then found out about rendition sites and border camps. There is an extremely small chance you would consider it a defining moment in history that you would dedicate your own cause to escaping from or changing. Everyone of that ideology thinks you are afraid to talk about it but honestly you’re aware and just got better shit to do, whether there were consequences of caring or not, whether you rationalized how the government responded correctly or not.

I agree with the many people who've said (in essence) that for 90%+ of programming jobs -- i.e., writing CRUD apps or the like -- a CS degree is unnecessary.

But how about that last 10% of jobs? Does the degree open doors to cutting-edge, exciting opportunities that aren't available without it?

I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to drop out right now. I know that I have what it takes to self-study and get to a similar level of knowledge as a CS grad, but I'm wondering if not having a degree will preclude me from the less common, more exciting jobs that I'm most interested in.

JavaScript object notation(JSON) is vulnerable to content level attacks. Such attacks attempt to use huge json files to overwhelm the parser and eventually crash the service.

JSON threat protection is terms that describe the way to minimize the risk from such attacks by defining few limits on the json structure.
Uh huh. Did you?

Both methods requires 𝒪(log2(𝑁)) qubits in total, where N is the number to be factored. The novelty of our demonstration of quantum annealing for prime factorization is based on the reduction in quantum resources required to execute factoring and the experimental verification of the algorithmic accuracy using currently available hardware. As a proof-of-concept, we have demonstrated these methods by factoring integers using the D-Wave 2000Q quantum annealing hardware, but these methods may be used on any other quantum annealing system with a similar number of qubits, qubit degree of connectivity, and hardware parameter precision. Assuming that quantum annealing hardware systems will continue to grow both in the number of qubits and bits of precision capabilities, our methods offer a promising path toward factor much larger numbers in the future.

And there is this too:

This is a common takedown tactic to clean up your image online. It's easily contested with a counter-claim but it works because most orgs/sites don't have a lawyer or don't want to spend the resources to fight it. I've seen cases where 80% of "negative" content can be scrubbed with the few remaining (read larger news organizations with lawyers) then crowded out by astroturf articles claiming the opposite.

The bar to DMCA style takedowns is much higher in Europe. Hence the decision to host on Linode for a South African newspaper is ... odd. They should migrate to OVH/Hetz
