Yes, better to compare to UK gov budget in the linked article. So £12B vs £772B, or 1.5%. Also the the £12B doesn’t include the rebate or other benefits, so the real value is less.

In any decent organisation, a bug that goes out to live isn't the developer who wrote the codes fault.

It's a team fault, meant that maybe the PO didnt spec correctly, then the developer implemented something wrong, then this was missed in the code review, then missed in team testing, then missed in testing before going live. Missed in the PO sign off before live...

If anything I would hope that stuff like this by Google helps to encourage orgs to build better processes. If you succeed as a team, you fail as a team. No scapegoats!

I'm personally very worried about sentiments like the one you express. The smug complete dismissal of another's viewpoints, complete refusal to even just listen, generalizing over all people with the same ideas...

Opinions like being in favor of Brexit are not in any sense as fundamentally objectionable and unacceptable even for disucussion as, for example, nazism or racism. Political divisiveness is a significant issue, and behavior like this is only going to make it worse.
I second this comment.

"A guide to a good life" was the first book on stoicism I read, that link was posted before and led me to it, and it really helped me a lot. I would also recommend the "Tao of Seneca" 3 PDFs that Tim Ferriss put together, the audiobooks are great because you can easily listen to a letter a day which helps me to build the habit of following stoicism.

Another book that really helped me was "The Inner Game of Tennis" https://www.amazon.com/Inner-Game-Tennis-Classic-Performance...

Race conditions do not have anything to do with absolute time, it is simply an assumption about the sequence in which things are going to happen and finding out in practice that the implementation allows other sequences the output of which is undefined.

The exhortation refers to the OS, not the app. Yes, Apple is the problem in this instance, but in the general case it's not a problem that can be fixed by avoiding Apple alone.

Don't you think there would be more outrage if more people were aware both that it's happening and of its implications and possibilities? I think there's a large ignorance (and I can't really blame people) here. The interview subjects in the articles from across the spectrum are all concerned.

It seems there's contention inside the government as well.
>The reality is, proponents of the idea of "toxic masculinity" provide almost no examples of "healthy masculinity" (or "toxic femininity").

Almost any article you read about toxic masculinity and in every discussion where it comes up, proponents take pains to point out, often in laborious detail, and to futile effect, that the term isn't meant to assign toxicity to all masculine behaviors. One shouldn't need to provide a list of "non-toxic" masculine behaviors as well as a list of "toxic feminine" behaviors in order for the concept to be understood as presented.

The people using toxic masculinity in mainstream conversation to mean "all masculinity is toxic" are, primarily, its opponents, not its proponents.
Ahh, Hacker News.

That sounds pretty dubious to me. Either you deposited a check from your account held at a different bank or a check someone else gave you drawn on their account.

If it was your own account, then during the conference call you had to give out your personal information to identify yourself as the account holder at the other bank, all while the Schwab agent is listening in..

Or if it was someone else's account then that other bank's agent should never have discussed anything to do with that account with you and certainly not with some random other person (the Schwab agent) listening in.
"Cast" has many meanings, some of them seemingly unrelated. Some time ago I tried to find out why type casting in programming is named as it is.

Having dependencies might not be a huge problem. But I've made some pretty complex interfaces using nothing but jquery, handlebars, and other util libraries. All patterns thought-out and written by myself. Not once did I feel I needed something more complex. I get the impression all the hype followers of front end frameworks might not have the best idea of what they're doing. Especially when you see people commenting about frameworks like angular/react/vue making jquery obsolete, because one is just a syntax enhancement library for dom manipulation, the others are predefined workflow patterns. I guess if you have to work on teams, or more corporate-y stuff, frameworks make sense, because programmers can be easily added or replaced. But luckily I've had the freedom to work on my own projects by myself, so I get the freedom to define whatever structure I see fit. Fun story: Somebody lectured me on how I should adapt my application to use one of those frameworks because it would reduce the code size according to him. Months later he complained about how he did just that with his application only to realize it made it more needlessly complicated and bloated.
The unary minus operator is still different from the binary minus operator depending on context in languages that tackle it that way.
(Lets call him "Johnson". "Boris" is either patronising or affectionate, and neither is appropriate for a head of state.)

No Conservative government has served an entire term with an outright majority since Thatcher in the 1980s. Johnson is in a sense "unelected", but his premiership is no less legitimate than that of Cameron or Major.

Like it or not, Johnson was the "biggest" voice behind the successful Brexit campaign, and it is therefore appropriate that he is tasked with making Brexit happen, and taking responsibility for its success or failure.

Its completely fair to say that Brexit is an economically stupid and possibly xenophobic project, but its not fair to say that Brexit is a threat to democracy. Brexit is exactly what democracy looks like at its best: the people forcing the ruling classes to make decisions that are against the ruling class's own interests.

EDIT: Johnson is of course the head of government, not the head of state, since the UK is a monarchy.
I meant 15%. Sorry about that.
LuaJIT is an entirely different VM. It is binary compatible with Lua 5.1.x modules (shared libraries) and can run most Lua 5.1 and 5.2 code. A good amount of the 5.2 changes, specifically those which do not break 5.1 code, have been added to the VM.

The oneOf keyword is really handy. I actually resorted to implementing the "sub-schema" validation using another tool when this wasn't available.

I think it's in JsonSchema validation and Open Api v3 but not v2.
Because it's completely irrelevant.

The point is that having a webapp allows them to continue to serve users if their actual app is removed from app stores. It has no bearing on how their native app functions, whether it is in native code or a web wrapper etc.
One needs to know Rust to actually understand that Box is the Rust's way to do heap allocation.
I'm looking through the new reference manual and there doesn't seem to be any mention of const variables, or any mention of how the new to-be-closed variables work. Do you just define the __close metamethod and lua takes care of the rest?
So you’re telling me the possible ways to commit fraud in a system that uses NFC-like photo-to-face recognition, on device, for official document validation is even worse. It’s like installing a vinegar factory right next door to the baking soda stock yards.

It seems like you meant yo suggest that since “people already have this type of data on their phones” it makes it less risky? I definitely don’t understand that.
This is a very long and opinionated propaganda piece that offers absolutely no good reason for your point of view. Congratulations on your ability to hide that you don't have good foundations for your opinions, but please don't try to use that to sway other people to your corporatist point of view. I'm sure you can still see what the problem with that sort of behaviour is.
I think both numbers are useful.

£1b/month would be 0.57 of UK’s 2018 gdp.

But knowing nothing about the £1bn number except that it came from a still-brexiteer I can’t give it much credibility.

I worked on a project before that explores using non-traditional UI on the web:

https://overwebs.ruph.in (warning - sound and high bandwidth)

It emulates a game UI, and uses background video to simulate physical movement when navigating between pages. It also incorporates some controls that are unusual for normal web applications like keyboard controls (shortcuts like 'Esc' to go back, 'Enter' to open chat).

It's a pretty old and very experimental project so some stuff is in a semi-broken state. I should revisit it sometime and clean up.
No offense, but starting to code professionally with only 15 years sounds... a bit strange? I mean, I started coding with 10 (~20 years ago), and the easily available tooling was much worse back then than it was 5 years ago, but if I was your CEO I wouldn't put anyone with that little expertise and (I suppose?) no formal training on such a project alone (it's something else if you're working with a senior dev from whom you can learn). And when I was your age, I wouldn't have done anything that might put me in jail if done wrong.

Also, please pass this message from me to your CEO: He's an idiot for not letting you use version control.

Leave asap.

> price improvement based on changes in market conditions

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you submit orders and expect them to sit around for awhile waiting for the price to get better? What if it gets worse?

> after you submit your order, you will never see price improvement, if you use a broker that sells order flow

This is completely false. Wholesalers regularly give price improvement to internalized orders.
Nearly all of those packages are best in kind, and most actually in a different league from anything that you'll get in another language.

In Germany i see most ISPs adopting IPv6 by using DS-Lite[0] which is basically handing out only IPv6 addresses and using CGNAT for IPv4 connectivity by mapping IPv4 addresses into IPv6 address space on the CPE. I don't like that at all as it makes you practically unreachable from the IPv4 address space. In order to get IPv4 addresses you often have to convince them on the phone and describe your use case. When you've done that you will get IPv4 address but no IPv6 addresses anymore. I have no idea why they seem to be so reluctant to a true Dual-Stack solution....

You don't need to deploy them on each hill because you don't need to cover the whole country. Just concentrate on the densely populated areas and surroundings. People both away from the protests and not taking part in organising anything are likely irrelevant to gov in this case.
The protest is directly triggered by the new law that will send murders to China but people fears that it’ll be abused to send anyone to China. They made a whole bunch of extra requirements which is probably against Beijing’s long term vision of HK. I respect their motivation but I wish they could do it more incrementally and with less disruption of normal people’s life(at this point the protesters are almost school students)

I'll never stop being amazed by how available, accessible, and important these data are, yet so rarely accessed. People will argue with their relatives over the holidays until they're blue in the face, but can't take 10 minutes to read this vital information.

I'm totally fine with people disagreeing over how to interpret these numbers. A healthy democracy should see us able to debate policy based on differences in values or philosophy. Instead we mostly decide what we believe first, then filter to only see information that supports that belief.

>Architecture is extremely sensitive to the initial choices due to isolation of side effects.

Only if you choose to isolate all side effects from each other. Actually Haskell makes refactoring really easy, so you can adapt your implemention to changing requirements easily.
This only applies because Apple runs a walled garden that is anti-user. People running actual computers with non-user-hostile operating systems can install whatever software they like. This is entirely apple's fault.

The information at [1] (in French) clearly states that alternative methods remain available.
Here is the translation of an excerpt:

"Creating an Alicem account is not mandatory. Users remain free of using available alternatives:
- account creation on the specific service [Translator's note: this identification method is destined at the national SSO that is only one way of logging in the various public services]
- other electronic identification methods on FranceConnect [Translator's note: FranceConnect is the name of this SSO. This includes at least fiscal number + password and social security number + password and maybe other methods]
- traditional physical administrative procedures"

I am not necessarily a fan of this identification method and for myself I consider it less secure than a sufficiently strong, properly stored and regularly updates password. Still, the argument of locking the users or making the smartphone mandatory does not stand.

As for the collected biometric data, it is collected from the passport's chip, so technically the administration is already in possession of this data, there is nothing new here.

I see this as completely independent from facial recognition surveillance (hence mandatory), which in my opinion we must fight against.

Well that's blatantly not true. And their "job" is to represent their voters, which they are doing. "We shouldn't be here," was their cry in the Euro election.

Absenteeism/disruption by representative politicians is perfectly fine in my book, as long as that's what they campaign on.

That's unrelated. My point was the Irish government could have burned the bondholders (German/French banks) and let the losses hit their profits instead of piling the Irish taxpayers under a mountain of (private) debt.
Specifically, Apple only fights for user security because since 2013 or so they've had a giant pile of liquid money and have been determined to get into the banking, payments, and rent seeking business. To make their phones useful payment terminals they have to be relatively secure. It's not about the user. It's about seeking rent from the user.
UK MEPs have only ever voted _against_ 2% of laws introduced by the EU (laws about human rights and closing corporate tax loopholes), they have voted _with_ 95% of the time. There's a reason for this, they took part in the shaping of those laws.

Now we have no way of shaping laws throughout the continent we're a part of. We've thrown it all out the window because someone told you that the EU is trying to stop us from having bendy bananas.

What are the most active private groups of entrepreneurs?
I'm the cofounder of https://www.joinsecret.com. Entrepreneurs save with Secret thousands of dollars on software (deals with AWS, Airtable, Pipedrive, etc.). It's 100% free.

Our users love what we do (who does not want to save money when you grow your startup?) and we are looking for additional ways to spread the word of Secret in local entrepreneurial communities.

Hence I have 3 questions:
1/ what are the most active private Facebook/Telegram/other social media groups for tech entrepreneurs?
2/ what are the most active private slack groups for tech entrepreneurs?
3/ what are the most active forums for tech entrepreneurs (outside of Reddit/IH)?

I guess based on your feedback I could also build a sheet that would be beneficial to more entrepreneurs. And feel free to add groups that exist outside of these networks :)
Thanks a lot for your help!
I am living the startup to big corpo movement. Goddamn, how amateurs people with a huge amount of money can be.

What are you talking about?

The drafting bank always tells the depositing bank if those funds are available, which is what they did here: it’s how checks work. You would discover the same information yourself, when it cleared or didn’t.

If you take a check to the drafting bank, they’ll check the funds in the account right then and there and either pay you or tell you there are insufficient funds.

All that happened is they did it on the phone rather than through a clearing house or in person, but the exact same information was exchanged:

1. The account number and amount on the check was reported to the drafting bank, which both the depositor and his bank knew from the check already.

2. The drafting bank confirmed those funds were available, which would have been revealed when the check cleared or didn’t through other means.

Having a bank call another bank to clear a check isn’t uncommon — I’ve had it done with payroll checks for the same reason, that I needed to pay rent.

I can't help but feel most of these bugs and vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel could be avoided with a more robust foundation than C. It's nice to see that Rust is starting to be tolerated in the Linux kernel for modules.
