The op meant "culturally Swiss", which is clearly not the case based on his behavior. It's not enough to just be born in a country to be considered culturally similar.
Completely agree, use Elasticsearch the companies offering. After being bitten by previously no VPC support for AWS Elasticsearch (though supported now), and blue-green deploys even with a small configuration changes (used to be security policy updates even) that can take 12-24 hours I generally don't recommend AWS Elasticsearch.
Also Intels Atom used by many tablets from the Windows 8 days has 32 bit EFI limiting Windows to only be 32bit.

FB uses a Tasks tool. A task can have an owner, subscribers, tags, blocker/dependent relationship to other tasks, can be associated with one or more code diffs, etc. Bots have internal accounts in the same way human employees do, and for the most part any human or bot can make a drive-by change to any of your tasks.
I really enjoyed it. I liked the style, presentation, and the projects. Sedgwick clearly knows his stuff. The textbook is a classic, and the "booksite" is crammed with extra stuff.
You clearly have never dealt with an Elasticsearch cluster that has entered the “red” state. It’s not just about cost, it is about not having to wrangle and lasso a big cluster.
Julia itself is stable. Julia allows writing libraries (packages) that are as performant as built-in libraries; in some cases it's hard to remember that these external packages are ... external and sometimes not as stable as the core language and standard libraries.

This hypothesis seems less like evolutionary biology and more like evolutionary psychology.

Which might seem pedantic, but I think most evolutionary biologists would consider it to be a pretty important distinction.

I honestly don't see how to reconcile two desirable aspects of digital currency

- Frictionless, fee-less digital transfer of a medium of value. To be able to transfer money natively over the internet.

- To keep it secure for 7 billion people - reversible, auditable etc - the benefits we have of a curated financial system.

I am sure there are lots of reading on this available - but those two do seem incompatible
Yep. I filed through through WIPO for worldwide priority. Eventually my finances stretched as far as obtaining an Australian patent and a US patent. EU was going to cost tens of thousands for low probability. Chinese patent would've cost another 10k at least and it would be a gamble on the future state of IP enforcement there.

There will be more expenses. $50k was the get as far as the US patent. I've spent another $3k since then on costs arising from other paperwork around it.
And it would be ludicrous to interpret me that way! The part that implies the dysfunctional organization is “enterprises”.
It is a real need sometimes (many times in fact) in programming. This is one of reasons why Go is so flexible.

You can't have the best of both worlds. You win some and lose some. Rust avoids this but loses flexibility.

The rational approach to all peer review is to assume there's a flaw and look for it. Quite a few commenters seem bothered by this reflexive reaction to published research, when the entire point of publishing research is to have it picked apart by critical thinkers everywhere.
That's rather unusual. 64 bit OSes run 32 bit software. Usually a lack of support comes from the software being legacy software, not so much being 32 bit.

You may already know this, but often times Wine tends to be a better option than running an insecure OS. Wine is more compatible with 32bit Windows software (and old windows software) than Windows is.
There are lots, you just never hear of them, because those are "only" small to medium sized companies.

This isn’t a block on another telegram’s sale, but on their launch. Telegram filed an exemption for their original sale, and have been compliant with the SEC.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1729650/000095017218...

What this action threatens is the SAFT model. It’s not clear what steps TG needs to take to disassociate themselves from the launch such that TON is decentralized and no longer a security. Or if they need to file a reg-a or s-1 before launch.

[edit for clarity]
You can Google the legal arguments, but suffice it to say that the legislation creating the SEC is old and vague, and anyone, including the SEC, who says that their characterization of tokens is absolutely correct is misleading you.

Also, the SEC is notorious for their intransigence even after multiple courts and even the Supreme Court have repeatedly rejected their legal interpretations. One example is their definition of insider trader--their definition of insider trading is far more expansive than courts will accept. When you take insider trading courses at a corporation, you're typically being taught the SEC definition, not the legal definition accepted by Federal courts.

Normally companies are risk adverse and aren't keen to piss off the SEC, so they play along. Nobody wants the SEC snooping around as there are invariably minor infractions to be found, especially at a large company. But sometimes, as with Telegram, companies will push back heavily when they want to aggressively pursue some profit opportunity. This doesn't mean these companies are willfully ignoring the law or aggressively pushing the envelope, as is often the case in other areas of regulatory law, e.g. Uber. Rather they're just not willing to placate the SEC. Their legal counsel might otherwise sincerely believe that the company's actions are well within the bounds of the actual law.
> you can devote my comment. But, you can't change my mind.

Is that really something to be proud about?

Maybe you meant "By simply downvoting my comment, you don't change my opinion, so it's better to write a comment with actual counter-arguments", which would be a comment i would upvote.

But what you wrote sounds like a statement that you have an opinion which you are unwilling to change independently of arguments and facts, and that is sad.
Integrating E-Signatures into Legal Workflows
I kept down the cost by doing a ton of the legwork myself. Lots of drafting, diagrams, picking apart the examiner's citations etc. But for a lot of it you absolutely need a professional to help.

I've a lighter version of the program like this (also based on Windows 10 PE) - called "MiniNT" (https://github.com/VulpesSARL/MiniNT5-Tools), and is fully open source, including the scripts to build the ISO (and other images) from scratch. Is supported in both 32 and 64 Bit editions. The 64 bit edition also can execute 32 Bit executables. It also can boot from USB, CD-ROM as well PXE Network.
1+ billion iPhones are in use worldwide with more people having them in China than the US.

There was absolutely no reason for this to project to exist. The only feature of digital currencies that make some of them interesting is that they are fully distributed and based on absolutely zero trust of other users on the network. What Facebook was trying to do here was take something that could be implemented in a standard centralized database, stick some marketing on it, and try to ride a hype wave that has since (rightfully) died down.
Yep. Autocorrect's one of the first things I turn off on any device. I'd rather have a misspelled word than an entirely wrong word.

Case in point: people spelling "definitely" as (I assume) "definately" only to be autocorrected to "defiantly" without noticing. That sort of "correction" completely changes the meaning of a sentence.
I didn't fully understand this from the article but, with "adult daughters" they would mean, unmarried women? I mean, if "all" adult women were send away to be married elsewhere then they'd have to bring in "new" women to marry the local men, right? So, local men would also marry local women in that they did find graves of families (ie. with mothers and fathers)? But they don't say that.

Maybe women were married at a very young age and men could marry at a much older age. Maybe men could marry multiple times, women would often die in child birth.
I don't insist on being sure it is actually going to work this way and Facebook isn't going to have the power over Libra yet the available concept says it's not meant to. Libra is meant to set you free (libre), not to be managed by Facebook or anybody. I am and many are totally sick of PayPal blocking accounts for no reason, requiring residence verification, charging ridiculous commissions, etc. Libra was supposed to become electronic cash, kind of like BitCoin was supposed to but you know, BitCoin has its problems making so it can't be used like cash any more. Do you really not want a currency you can use like cash (which can by used by anybody, everywhere, instantly and anonymously) but electronically.
And Russia and China are hardly the type of countries who are keen to support a secure messaging platform.
I think FB should take a lesson from this - be less respectful. They have done everything not to tread on anyone's toes, but that is not what innovation is about. They have the userbase and the ability to give this a shot all on their own. Do it and make something great, then deal with the consequences.
Automating Kubernetes Deploys with CircleCI
The re-encoding was done when I was still using iTunes, now I don't need it any more (which is another benefit but I the conversion was so painless that it's not really a reason for the switch).

I love VLC and use it a lot as a media player, but as a media library where I want to browse, sort, tag things it's not really working that well (for me).
How is it that the government can change the legal status of something it doesn't own? That's like walking into my great-aunt's house and declaring that because she's the last human being on earth with shag carpeting she isn't allowed to put in wood flooring. I'd burn the place to the ground before surrendering my rights.
It's disturbing that it's happening so often it's becoming a norm. I guess it's fair then for people to assume the worst. That the government is committing acts so heinous they can't allow them to be discussed.
Facebook is similarly pretty bad: https://popular.info/p/the-tiny-alaskan-public-broadcaster-5...
I totally you feel you, I guess I thought your question was substantially more surface level than it was. My apologies.

I'm personally with you. I also don't tend to think object boxing is really the performance bottleneck for most applications, and if/when it is, likely the other requirements should've already ruled out using one (a scripting language).

It's like writing Nifs for Elixir, yeah sure you _can_, they have their purpose, but you could also just write another application to do that one thing and like you said, use IPC.

So in summary, we agree with each other, here's to:

the right tool for the job!
Yes, I'm familiar with denying the antecedent. I assumed you weren't just making the "I'm comfortable around non-white, non-male people" as a logical declaration in the vacuum, and not part of any point.
I agree. Basically if you use US Dollars then US regulators consider you under their jurisdiction, because they can stop you from using US Dollars by limiting other entities (banks, payment processors) dealings with you.
The SEC registration requirements are a blatant violation of the freedom to contract.

An individual should decide for themselves whether they will invest in a venture, not have that decision made for them by politicians and opinionated busybodies.
This isn't the best sourced article, the sources here are all random people complaining on twitter. It would be much more interesting to hear from an informed spokesperson from UC Berkeley, with actual data on the percentage of STEM research buildings without generators, etc. etc.

Even then, one of the sources did describe that they have an e-power plug in their lab, for the -80 freezer. That's pretty much how it's supposed to be. If they have additional important fridges, those should also be plugged into e-power.

I'm sure it's possible there are some labs at Berkeley that may be compromised in backup power, there are a lot of old buildings and infrastructure there. That still doesn't mean that that experience is common, just that the people impacted are complaining loudly. Most research labs may be totally fine, and just waiting for things to come back.
Are you suggesting that “culturally Swiss” people never engage in inappropriate behavior, unlike people from “other cultures”? Why not end the dog whistling and say what you’re thinking out loud?
Sorry, your question's unclear, and ungrammatical.

What are you referring to by "settle out" and maps?

The map patterns are persistent because shipping traffic is constant, and there are a huge number of ships (~80,000 large cargo vessels worldwide), largely concentrated on narrow sea lanes. You can observe SO2 emissions along sea lanes using the Nullschool Earth Weather Visualiser: https://earth.nullschool.net

With "Chem" and "SO2sm" selected over the Indian Ocean, showing sea lanes between the Gulf of Aden and Straight of Malacca, discussed in the Wired article: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/chem/surface/level/ove...

There are 100,000 vessels passing through the Strait of Malacca every year, that's over 270 per day.

As for other pollutants.

Elevated atmospheric CO2 due to industrial fossil fuel combustion is thought to extend for centuries to millennia.

If you only want to use it for sleep tracking and fitness and don't care about the other smart watch features, look into Whoop. You pay a monthly fee instead of up front but it is a much better fitness and sleep tracker than any smart watch I know of.

Bonus: You can charge the whoop while you wear it so you don't miss out on sleep tracking as is mentioned in other comments.

I've found that haptic feedback helps. My first smartphone was a handmedown first-gen iPhone, so I didn't really understand the point of haptic feedback because I wasn't exposed to it, but upon switching to a Galaxy SII and feeling a tactile response with each press I've yet to look back.

Every time haptic feedback turns off for "power saving" when I'm running low on battery, I immediately wonder how anyone ever manages to type anything at all without mucking things up all the time.

I'd still prefer a physical keyboard, though.
I wonder what would have happened if Facebook had simply announced Libra and released it a week later. Would the legislative backlash have been stronger? Or would the quick release bring to light the (always preached about but not always demonstrable) advantages of cryptocurrencies.

I'm not (yet) doubting that Libra will eventually be released, but I can see it being shutdown before or sometime after release.
>> We check that a secret exists in our staging environment (s101) when writing to prod, and warn if it doesn't.

My first thought ... so you have a script that can see prod and non prod at the same time?

I think I may be developing paranoia.
If by saying "each government" you mean globally, that's just wrong. It's certainly not the case in many developing countries (e.g., Indonesia).
Node.js – v12.12.0
> I'm not sure what gave you the idea that just because Mojolicious is Perl, it would have "a pile of corner cases" while a "simple nodejs app" wouldn't. Mojolicious is built from the ground up to be effortlessly asynchronous and performant and handle all common needs. Don't punish it for the horrible CGI.pm that has been removed from core Perl

Because there have not been million people with different levels of skills poking and prodding Mojolicious into good, bad, ridiculous, disgusting, ugly and beautiful uses, posting on Stackoverflow, getting answers, getting smacked down, or getting those things marked as known bugs. I use code to achieve a business objective, not to create a beautiful code or use a wonderful framework.

Just framework itself is not enough - it needs to have skeletons for services that would handle common edge cases -- database failures with automated switch to standby, internal request queues with retries, configurable. Clean interface to external configurations that should be changeable in-flight without a restart; patterns for interfacing with other systems, etc.

> Yes, Perl's threading support is terrible,

Some of the basic crypto modules and modules that use those basic crypto modules are not thread safe. In 2019. Modules that were written a decade ago. I'm not interested in figuring out those bugs in production.

I wrote a pretty complex API using Dancer. I'm not going there again.
That’s not what it’s for. Sure it could, but using a USB drive as your program space is gonna be a bad time

I believe the parent's point was that they did what would have made sense in the NG, not realizing it wouldn't have the same result in a Max.

> A Visa spokesperson told The Verge. “Visa has decided not to join the Libra Association at this time,” the spokesperson said. “We will continue to evaluate and our ultimate decision will be determined by a number of factors, including the Association’s ability to fully satisfy all requisite regulatory expectations.”

I suspect the regulatory pushback was the least of the problem. These companies (and PayPal) have everything to lose and nothing to gain by helping to advance Libra. The entire business model is to capture value from financial system friction. Eliminating the friction eliminates their reason for being.

It's a classic innovator's dilemma: the action that will save these companies is building the thing that will destroy their business models. They can't do it because established companies are set up to eject people persisting with such notions. That leaves the field open for an out-of-left field solution that does away with the friction and the business models it spawned.

The source of the friction is regulatory. AML. KYC. All the laws that deputize financial institutions as extensions of law enforcement. It's quite expensive.

The only way to eliminate the friction is to eliminate the regulatory liability. And that's what has been happening with Bitcoin for some time.

What is surprising was that these companies ever lent their names to the project in the first place.
I think that's generally unsolved since right now you can't convert currency into _any_ cryptocoin without KYC (know your customer).
GraalVM does in fact fix that. There's a (new-ish) project called babashka that lets you do some basic scripting for example: https://github.com/borkdude/babashka
Spot on. So, the equation runs as follows: ethical people running such networks will realize that they can't do it profitably and properly and so will shut down. The unethical ones don't give a fuck, don't do it properly, make gobs of money and claim victory.

This happens much more often than you might think, there are a quite a few examples of this effect.
I'd like to add that snippets of code presented as plain text should not be auto selected when someone clicks on them or what not, but should give the user the OPTION to copy the entire snippet as a separate button.

We don't always want to copy everything, we sometimes want to test out specific lines or what not. Don't mess around with how the select option works.
How to Make Articles That People Will Read
As a testament to this statement I wrote a Google maps API scraper to get a list of driving distances from a pair of csv tables - shortname + address and shortnames to and from, in about 1 hour, and the whole thing clocked in at 90 lines of code including about 40 lines of comments.

Protecting it from what exactly?
It's already been massively disturbed by humans.
I also noticed that.
I'm not a lawyer, but I think if you marketed a collectible as valuable to US residents because its price will rise due to your efforts to promote the associated brand, you would come under SEC jurisdiction by passing the Howey test.
Isn't it kind of pointless anyway: a large corporation with vast resources creating a cryptocurrency, why don't they just make their own bank?
And there are vastly larger areas of public lands that are not protected under the Wilderness Act (Forest Service, and BLM lands) where human activity is still allowed. These could be managed in some way like the article advocates.

I think that is article is a good one if one takes away from it the idea that humans have had an influence over almost all of the Earth's landmasses for thousands of year. The idea of wilderness, meaning a place where humans don't influence nature, is recent and probably partly stems from the depopulation of western North America from European diseases before Europeans began exploring the region. See the Louis and Clark expedition.
