Woo hoo! I got to spend a few days with the Bazel team in the NYC office a few weeks ago and they were really excited about this announcement coming out soon. Congrats!

One of my favorite uses of Bazel is in CI/CD. I built a demo which builds the applications, creates Docker images, and then applies a K8s manifest to a cluster. It's OSS now under the GCP handle: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gke-bazel-demo

Ben Thompson of Stratechery talks about this a lot. Apple always says they want to own the most important pieces of their products but then Tim Cook when he was COO made the decision to be completely beholden to China for their manufacturing. I hope that Apple is seriously trying to diversify their supply chain out of China. It can be done at scale - Samsung moved all of their manufacturing out of Chins.
From a previous FOIA request[1] explaining the logo:

"The secret origin of the patch is initially from [redacted] where the problem during the test stage in the thermal vacuum was traced to a large piece of cabling called an octopus harness. The running joke for the crew was that the octopus harness had taken over the world."

Wouldn't this work to the benefit of Putin-Erdogan interests?

The refugee situation is one of the polarizing issues in EU/Brexit politics. The Turkey-Syrian conflict pushes a new wave to exacerbate internal polarization within the UK & EU - a side effect of the conflict but still furthers a broader agenda. Pretty crafty.

Also in quasi defense of Google (note that I work there), it almost do no business in China. So it doesn't bend over to The CCP.

Moving forward, my biggest purchasing decision as a consumer is going to be based on how much ties a company has to The CCP. I feel like my freedom is under direct threat from The CCP more than anything else, and I'll treat it accordingly when making purchasing decisions moving forward.

i had a prototype using https://github.com/mourner/simplify-js and it did a bit better in low quality/low precision mode, but worse in high quality mode. at some point the trade-off is probably worth it but i've noticed some not-so-great artifacts even in hq mode, so had to ditch it.

another major reason for ditching it is that all the series must be x-value-coalesced, so it's impossible to remove/merge datapoints along any single x without incorrectly removing/merging them in an unrelated y.

since the path is drawn directly from the data without any intermediate data->path conversions & allocations, i dont think there will be a reasonable point at which general path simplification would provide a net positive.

i'm pretty sure dygraphs does some form of simplification which seems to render well, but overall it ends up slower (not necessarily due to this, but did not check). it was also written at a time when Canvas was not as fast as it is today, so maybe it made more sense back then.

It's not just fear by officials of being shot (although that certainly is a factor, i.e police "no-go zones" controlled by gangs. As opposed to single unarmed minority motorists who can be bullied with impunity.).

It's also threat of public blowback from armed firefights leading to uncomfortable "why?" questions and detailed examinations of policies and the details of what happened.

Technically can pony up for a Enterprise account ($200/yr?) and have protestors install the app after trusting the Enterprise org. You just have to host the IPA on a site somewhere.

If you want to build the source code and install the app to a device, you still need at least a Dev account ($99/yr) and macOS+Xcode. Without an account you won't have the provisioning and certificates to install on a "Dev" device. You are also limited to just 100 test devices I think under a regular dev account.

Another option is to crack the phone, then you can just go through third party repos to fetch the app.

Soy crops are a good example, the majority of them are to feed livestock but they are a great crop to feed humans instead, and without all the waste involved in having to feed a cow first and then eat parts of it.

You can make plant milk with soy too, its a very versatile crop. With it, you can feed the same amount of people with a fraction of the land, water, and pollution.
Here's the version I was told in the early 2000's by a US Army Ranger: "Firing at humans with a .50 caliber weapon is illegal, but firing at military 'equipment' is allowed. If a soldier is wearing a helmet, the helmet counts as 'equipment.'"

> Corporations are not robots. Apple is run by people, and specifically people who are much more knowledgable on this subject than the average consumer. They should feel some level of social responsibility.

Sometimes I wonder how many instances to the contrary people need to get this falsehood out of their heads. Corporations are only beholden to their shareholders, if any one person at Apple (including the CEO) is not at all times acting solely to maximize the profit to their shareholders they will be replaced by someone who will. The government has to force corporations to their will through tight regulations, consumer protection and anti-trust legislation. Why are all corporations spending this incredible amount on political corruption/"lobbying", its because all these things work.
I have had an e-bike for about 2 years. It’s faster than driving and I am not a sweaty mess when I get to or from work. It’s been great. Some ebikers are jerks and just use throttle to pass people at 24mph but they are few and far between.
It made sense during the cold war but they need to be kicked out now.
>While he and his party have never had any clear position on it, by design.

Their position is to negotiate another deal (if possible) and put it to a public vote, and put the existing deal to a vote if not. It's pretty clear albeit not so easy to understand for the perennially simple minded (for whom simple messages like "remain at all costs" and "we must execute the glorious brexit revolution on october 31st" appeal).

Unfortunately it isn't possible to make promises about what will be possible to negotiate with the EU.

>If Labour had kicked Corbyn out for, say, Starmer, and taken a clear soft Brexit or even Remain position, they could have long ago taken Government from the Tories

This is a theory that's quite popular in the London remainer bubble. Unfortunately London forgetting that the rest of the country exists is partly what got us into this mess, and it's not a winning strategy to keep doing it.
You are correct, and no I am not. Is your goal to build an application with IME support, or an entire IME?
I genuinely think that unless your app requires significant power, i.e. graphics or such. Web-Assembly and PWAs will take over. The app stores will fight tooth and nail to keep revenue coming from their stores though.

That's embarrassing.

> My personal theory is that small business websites don't receive enough consistent traffic to benefit from the distributed CDN provided by Cloudflare. The CDN will only improve performance if visitors hit the cache repeatedly. Otherwise, a CDN can actually slow things down!

Good point. A CDN also won't buy you much without the proper Cache-Control headers [1]. I wonder how many of these sites installed the plugin but didn't bother to configure it properly [2].

Going vegan is missing the point. There are too many people on this planet, period. Im not going to eat an unhealthy diet just so we can squeeze 3 billion more consumers into the economy. We need reproductive freedom and education in any countries that are above replacement rate.
> In reality, people have safety nets, considerate bosses, savings, families, or any combination.

Yeah its great have one's saving wiped out by something that we in Europe just have our shared pool of resources covers for. So you only have to deal with (sometimes lifelong) consequences of some hard illness / accident, and you can continue your life unaffected financially and not compound misery and life getting significantly tougher.

THAT, my friend, is also freedom. We can call it freedom to be ill/have an accident. But don't expect any US politician / hollywood star to ever frame it that way.
It cuts both ways, I am not sure US's sketchy and inconsistent behavior in Syria was in the interest of NATO either. This whole affair is a clusterf* and I don't think pushing Turkey further away will do any good to anyone. Also thankfully organizations like that are operated slightly better than HN and Reddit armchair strategists.
They'd also reap the profits from businesses investing in themselves since they own those companies. The only difference would be encouraging conglomerates instead of new companies. Not sure why that benefits anyone.

It can do the same tasks like Gitlab (Git hosting, issue tracking, CI and more) but it does it in a different way that is more similar to the workflow of the Linux kernel and other big open source projects.

No war is good. But the better question is:

What is a justifiable war? Or necessary war?

While war is not good, what about our participation in WWII?
Indeed. It'd be nice to see a coordinated effort to welcome and resettle the refugees. A pro-active program that is a pan-ethnic, almost nationalistic to add these refugees to the EU economic and cultural might, with education on local customs and languages and other help in integration.

Call the bluff.
And not only that. Even if there is money on the table or lives at stake, many companies choose to outsource embedded development instead of increasing salaries to attract top talent. Just recently Boeing software practices were heavily criticized concerning the 737 Max fiasco [0]. Sadly it has become a tendency not only in the avionics industry.

How does this at all prove the "cataclysmic forecasts from scientists" — namely, that climate change will destroy the reefs — wrong? The scientist responsible for this study himself says, "We need to stop climate change, because it's not going to be enough," i.e. this discovery doesn't chance the broad forecast at all.
Personally I think the real problem is that the OS is fundamentally broken. All current OSes are fundamentally broken from a security point of view because they all pre-date the era when security was such a concern and are designed to run only de-facto trusted code. All the security we have including all iOS's security is a bolt-on afterthought.

A modern security and privacy conscious OS would be "principle of least privilege" from the ground up. It would be written into the DNA of the kernel and OS from the first line of code, not bolted on later via permission managers and leaky APIs and then mandatory notarization by a central authority to work around the fact that the whole mess is still insecure.

We do have something like that. It's called a web browser. A browser is a small VM that runs utterly untrusted code relatively safely. In many cases it's code from the sketchiest ad networks and other hellholes imaginable.

Imagine if your real OS were like that. Install anything even known malware with fairly strong confidence that you're safe and that it can't do anything you don't explicitly grant to it.

I don't know how Qt & Android fare these days... I know it was quite a hassle to create background services when I first tried to get into it and there was no definitive answer as I think it was still on the roadmap to add it (perhaps?).

Qt is amazing and so is QML. I still found QML JavaScript engine utilizing a lot of memory back then as well and I don't know if it has been fine-tuned these days.
Or just switch to Android and you can install the APK, and likely unlock your bootloader and install a custom ROM.
I think this is deduced from the stripe api, which most likely resembles the actual implementation quite well.

You forgot the /s.

Last refugee crisis destroyed any future plans for expansion of the Schengen zone, helped Brexit and propell right wing parties at elections in EU member states and also further distance the southern states from the north as they were left to deal with the crisis alone.

Edit: I'm not blaming the refugees, I'm highlighting that if Europe was so united as you suggest we wouldn't be having these issues but currently, as you can see, Europe's policy is every man for himself and the refugee crisis helped expose problems Europe already had.

> We are certainly not the only species in the world who does things for pleasure that aren't neccessary for our survival.

no, we’re not, but we are the only ones who so to the detriment of entire (and numerous) species and ecosystems. for example, we are starving and poisoning after we decimated and traumatized the population decades ago of southern resident orcas. however, we have abstracted our survival and pleasure mechanisms so much that we see this and other such scenarios as an inevitable or unavoidable byproducts.

> That all depends on perspective. If you look at a big enough time frame- humans can be considered almost irrelevant.

that’s a rather silly statement. what is your point? of course if you “zoom” out far enough, nearly everything becomes irrelevant. but with any timescale important to species and ecosystems, humans are certainly relevant and completely detrimental.

I thought it was known that cartilage can regrow but it's just at such an incredibly slow pace due to lack of circulation that you can effectively say it doesn't grow?

Edit: after some googling I found this result

> age 15 or 16 would be about the average age for bones to stop growing, so from that point on, there is no collagen regeneration in the cartilage. Your body, on its own, cannot regenerate the cartilage it loses in its adult years.

How do Europeans feel about the Kurds these days? When I was growing up in Germany in the 70s and 80s they weren't super popular but I'm guessing with Turkey turning to fundamentalism the attitudes have changed?
> The reason the ecosystem maturity is so important for bazel is because its design encourages complete reimplementations.

My experience from before Bazel is that reimplementations were the way to go most times you had projects with multiple languages, because the alternatives lead you down dark paths—calling into a separate build system suffers from the same problems as recursive make.

What excites me about 1.0 is the possibility that the third-party rules can mature. Its not too bad if you only need a couple sets of third-party rules but my experience is like yours-when a new Bazel release came out, you had to figure out when to upgrade based on your dependencies on third-party rules. If you had several of these, it made upgrading Bazel infeasible.

You think:

"Well, what's the point of having individual states if they can't control their own destiny. But marrying cousins? A federal issue? Let me chew on that."

Some alabamans post an app on the app store so they can avoid the national guard.

"An app? Cool, plods have mass surveillance, the protestors have it now, too. Oh, you thought the 2nd Amendment was just about guns?" you say.

I see what you're saying, but I will still disagree with the "90%+ of Chinese", and with the CCP's handling of the issue. Your hypothetical had me cheering for the Alabaman's, because frankly, I don't think we protest enough around here.

I'm hugely impressed by this and applaud the effort, I've played the top game a bit and it's very nice, especially if you've not played a game with rewind/replay mechanics before.

I was wondering exactly what had to be under 13K, so I looked in the repo (a staggering 2.4M zipped), where even just the /src/ directory is a bloated 108K. The answer is, when you build it, it creates a single index.html which is a rotund 35003 bytes, but which zips down to a svelte 11764 bytes.
Yup, that's exactly what narcissism is. "I can't possibly deal with being made to feel like a loser, so I will hurt those who might otherwise threaten my exaggerated ego". It's not a healthy mindset at all, it's a sign of serious pathology.
I am wondering if there will really be a clever technical solution to climate change. Maybe we just need to come to terms with the fact that we have been living drastically above our means and we need to adjust our standard of living accordingly.

I missed that bit, and I didn't think about SPARC / MIPS to be fair. Wasn't there another one recently opened up by IBM? Isn't RISC or RISCV? I only focused on ARM because then you can usually take advantage of Android. I do wish there were competing phone OS' though that were open source as well.
What a great article. Great visualizations, and I particularly like the focus on post clustering analysis. This doesn't get addressed enough in undergraduate/ graduate level training on clustering.

I will raise one 'issue', that I expected to see in the first section regarding k-means, and clustering in general, which is the issue of variable importance/ variable selection.

I didn't see anything addressing normalization of values, how to deal with factor variables, or variable weighting. Clustering for data science is something that I engage in daily and while its a bit of a detail, how you normalize (if you do so), and how you weight variables is the key to getting a useful set of clusters or not. Maybe its an aside, but maybe step through the k-means algorithm early on and show why normalization and weights matter. Just a suggestion.

Edit: I suppose this is addressed through PCA. There are ways of addressing these issues outside of PCA.

This surprised me too. But I think it really boils down to there being both more demand and less available supply of React developers.

Embedded C/C++ development has been around much longer and is far more conservative in terms of adopting new technology. So they have a much larger labor pool of experienced developers who are going to be familiar with the core technologies of the job. Web shops migrated quickly to technologies like Angular and React, whereas the vast majority of C++ shops likely won't be adopting C++17 any time soon unless it's a smaller team's greenfield endeavor. I'd also argue there's less training necessary to go from, say, C++03 to C++17 than going from ES5 jQuery to ES6+ (or Typescript) React.
