> From MY perspective, both Buies Creek and Coulee City are rural.

Yeah - for a person who is adjusted to only living in big cities then sure. However, Buies Creek is 30 minutes away from the downtown of a city. It is not rural by almost anyone else's definition.

It'd be like saying Atherton, CA is rural because it's a "smaller" town of 7k people. Ignoring that it's within a 8 million population metro and within 30-45 minutes of a 1 million population sprawling city (San Jose) and another 800k+ densely populated one (San Francisco).
I didn't say it was objectively more secure. Obviously it's possible to have code that is of poor quality/maintainability but still happens to be more secure than its alternatives. Maintaining good code quality is not a magic bullet that prevents all bugs.
I guess "will" would have been better.
Neat project.

How does it differ from `aws-iam-generator` released by AWS themselves?

Not really, it doesn't feel like C++. D fixes many C++ annoyances, has a GC, doesn't have the annoying preprocessor, header files.

Walter Bright did try to make C++ better, remember that D came along after he wrote the Digital Mars C++ compiler.

C++ has also improved in the meantime.
Amazon Cloud itself is not externally available, and runs on parts of its infrastructure that are non-public. It's like GCP in that regard, except that most of the rest of Amazon's products are then built on top of this cloud, whereas with Google that's not the case; there's a parallel internal-only infrastructure that every Google product you've ever heard of
(Search/Gmail/YouTube/etc) runs on.
So only the President could claim to be a "national leader" in the US? The use of the indefinite article implies there is more than 1 acceptable answer.
Have there been any studies on how many people actually see those tweets, and of those, how many remember the content and then agree/disagree? I'm a bit unsure how data based any of these actions are.
Please focus on things we have actually said instead of putting opinions on us you have no base for.

There are consequences to everything we do as life and also what we don't do.

People will also die from restricting the use of fossil fuels, in fact it's much more likely. If you want to point the moral finger our way keep ind mind that three points your way.
D already works like this.

Scala (Ammonite) works like this.

The author isn't complaining about keystrokes; he wants the compile + run process to be faster. Using an interpreter instead of a compiler would make it faster.
I haven't used the AWS CDK before. I'm more of a Terraform guy. But at a glance, I don't think it solves the issue with access levels and resource ARNs. You can still create IAM policies that have s3:wildcard, or `service:someaction` against wildcard resources.

Essentially: Even when Infrastructure as Code exists, IAC developers can still make security mistakes. Our goal with this tool was to automate the process (it is way faster to build policies with this), and by default, restrict actions according to resource ARNs. I haven't seen any other tool do that to this degree, although I would be pleasantly surprised to learn about any that do.

Edit: Not sure why HN is blocking out the wildcard character.
Twitter is not an RSS feed. Twitter shadow-bans, sorts the tweets based on popularity, ect. Stopping retweets will absolutely affect your ability to see a tweet.
Well, since it's Twitter's own platform, and they make the rules, they could just as easily ban someone simply because they don't like them. That's how owning things works.
Open source is inherently political as it pertains to the nature of code ownership and distribution/modification rights. This article is attempting to expand upon the moral and ethical implications of open source (whereas it is usually proprietary software that had its moral and ethical implications analyzed) albeit in a humanist/labor rights perspective.
School K-12 started at 8:30am where / when I grew up. I assumed that was just the universal time school started everywhere.

I have a feeling we're in for quite a shock when my daughter starts school in a couple years. Our current routine has her waking up sometime between 7:30 and 9.

Not sure dude I'm 27 and in the same boat.

The relaxing part you can foster by meditating and getting outside of the evolutionary impulses to always achieve and do more and get more.

I think the solution is to realize that only you can unstuck yourself from life. Some people stagnate and then learn to like the stagnation (usually by picking up basic azz hobbies and buying new things for cheap thrills).

You can say f this, go for what you want and trying new things and take risks. If you fail (whatever that means) then you can go back to this rut but you know that you at least made an attempt to venture outside.
Yes, this is exactly what I'm saying.
I disagree and that's very much a strawman argument. I still want to improve things and even when knowing free will is an illusion.
Well I don’t know what to tell you except you’re mistaken and that’s not anyone else means by ‘world leader’ which is probably why you find it so confusingly chilling.

Looks like it was flagged. Thankfully others agreed with me instead of allowing it to become a mainstay like you suggested.
How much do you spend on subscriptions per month?
That would be a silly thing for them to do because it would invite burdensome regulation, such as what the FTC imposed on radio station operators.
Yes, you are quite correct in that my arguments are mostly tangential; they are in fact just that. It's pretty clear that I'm coming from the much broader perspective of the very real problems of modern-day democratic politics, and I did say that I was 'at the risk of oversimplifying these complex issues', and it seems from your comments, that perhaps I did over do it. As a sociologist you will be cognizant of the fact that every survey taken in democratic countries in recent times about governance and democracy shows that about 80% of the population seriously claim that democracy has failed them.

As I see it, it's a huge problem and I agree that the Catalonian issue is a small and almost significant part of that.

I'd only add that I'm old enough to vividly remember the horrible bombing and killings in that part of the world and thus I've developed a long-held view that with the 'right' triggers that they could easily happen again.
> Press releases are preferable because when they tell falsehoods, they can be fact checked in the press.

I would question whether social media posts are immune to fact checking, but you didn't post an official press release, so apparently I can't.
One of the most valuable aspects of social media, especially Twitter, has been that it is not media, in the sense of a middleman---it has served as a dumb pipe, or at least more so than newspapers, TV, etc.
If you follow somebody, does it ever not show you their tweet? I'm genuinely curious to hear more about their system.
Unfortunately, the school systems still rely on one parent at home. It is not just drop off and pick up times: school activities, parent-teacher conferences, etc. For example, in the SF Unified District, school tours for parents of kids entering kindergarten, middle school and high school are during the school hours, mostly in the morning. It is all built around the expectation of a parent at home or a job structure that allows parents to have time off and not be penalized for it. Neither of those are necessarily representative of a family's current reality.

Once younlook at the ad-driven economy from this point of view, it becomes harder to be condescending.
YC Startup School maybe is 90% marketing. But in business school, you learn more accounting, business law, economics, operations management, decision-making. And more thorough coverage of finance instead Series ABCs.

Give it 5 years.
Yes also often the compiler would tell you exactly what to do (90% of the time it was a missing typename).
Twitter can make it's own decisions, not my position to tell them what they can and can't do, but

>The company said the move will help its users stay informed about global affairs, but while balancing the need to keep the site’s rules in check.

Is a baseless lie. And I can't believe they're brazen enough to propose limiting the outreach of world leaders on the site while saying

>help its users stay informed about global affairs

Twitter has been around for over a decade, yet only now are they deciding to take this approach, meaning, regardless of what triggered this new policy, is not rooted in any sort of desire to "keep the site's rules in check".
Los Angeles is far south, even in the context of California; that's not true for San Francisco.

Also the shortest day of the year isn't the day of the latest sunrise - that'd be the day before daylight savings time ends. On that day in San Francisco civil Twilight is at 7:08 and full daylight isn't until 7:35.

If we put aside daylight savings shenanigans, it's still not the same day (because of how the earth's orbit works); it's in fact early January and still 7:25 AM for full sunrise.

I definitely shared the experience (growing up in the mid Atlantic) of catching busses before true sunrise so I could get to a 7:40 AM start in the winter months. I don't remember it being fully dark, though that time in my life is a bit of a haze in no small part because I was completely exhausted all the time.
Atherton is 7,000 people. It's also 30 miles outside of SF. Is that rural then?

Yes they do. Under this law, extracurricular and voluntary "early bird" classes are still allowed before 8am.
> Personally, I'd rather hear directly from the person, rather than get someone's spin on it.

Well, that's ridiculously easy on Twitter. Just follow them.

What is changing here is whether you hear from them just because your buddy Ed(wina) thinks they said something amazing, when they have a track record for breaking the Twitter rules.

IME, keeping on Twitter's good side is a pretty low bar is you're powerful and well-connected, so you will still hear plenty from the usual suspects.

> I've seen their fact checking, it's hilariously biased.

Twitter recently published their rules for fact-checking, and it involves relying on a very small set of third-party fact-checking organizations.

Look it up for yourself.
The only thing worse than vague rules is their inevitable selective application.
There's a lot of context you had to make up to arrive at that interpretation for the first hand account you read.
There's a softer version of this intuition: a guy who works for Transferwise would be more likely to write a blog post about something like this when it happened to him.
Disagree. Media has always centralized on key players who distribute the information, from newspapers to radio towers to broadcast TV to cable networks, all who maintained a modicum of quality.

The internet is a turn in the opposite direction which is why there has been such an explosion of misinformation and feeding of confirmation bias.
Yup! The phone booths don't have adequate ventilation, so fumes build up inside of them. It's very surprising that the phone booth manufacturers didn't consider this.
Nope, a person with the childish attitude that the person exhibits is a clown in either mental capacities of understanding free will is an illusion or not. Understanding free will is an illusion increases analysing how you are as a person and in my opinion makes you become a pacifist.
> This wouldn't solve the problem of too many inner city residents voting and messing up your legislative majority.

I'm not a Republican, and I'm not advocating for a legislative majority for any party. You're not participating in good faith.

> In-person fraudulent voting is one of those problems that basically doesn't exist. People have looked for cases of it happening and have come up empty handed. Attempting to solve that problem is a waste of time. The only point of these laws is to suppress voting blocks.

Maybe. It's probably an order of magnitude easier and cheaper to implement some basic voter ID reqs (you know, like so many Europeans enjoy) than to continually validate that voter fraud is a non-issue _and_ persuade the country that it's a non issue. The idea that these laws only exist to "suppress [legitimate] voting blocks" is absurd; many countries have them, including those enviable European countries. How can securing our Democracy be a bad thing, any way? Recall which party was paranoid about foreign meddling in the last election, after all.
...like shadow banning?
Does Twitter shadow-ban people whom you're following? I thought that's only for accounts that one is not following.
Sure. Let's strike that shit down. Make sure ID requirements are even across the board. Seems like a pretty tractable problem.

They are clearly failing, so they should leave space (API or similar) for users to pick their own curation and filtering companies of choice.
There is an early question in this article that essentially asks how do construction projects involving hundreds of people usually complete on time and software doesn't. The general question is a good one to ask, but the assumption built into the front end of this formulation is bad.

There are other issues with comparing construction to software projects, but I leave it at that.
Ah yes, so now we'll fallback to they are a private company because there is no other defense.

They are free to do whatever they want, they are not free from criticism.

That's why I don't deal with Twitter, I support freedom of speech, and clearly they don't. So them, and the Saudi's that own them can go tweet themselves.
> They might cause some significant harm to their sanity.

Is that possible?

The drug counselor at my college, when asked by someone in the audience at a presentation he was giving about drug history, which drug would be the least harmful to use if someone wanted to, said immediately, "LSD."

A collective gasp was let out by the crowd, especially considering he'd just said earlier it would take smoking 15 pounds of marijuana in 30 minutes to OD on it. That seemed pretty darn safe.
Retweeting is not free speech. The original tweet is free. Everything after that is leveraged speech. Leveraged by the platform. And the platform is co-responsible for leveraging speech. If Trump’s (or whoever’s) followers want to subscribe to what he has to say, awesome. But if Twitter (or whatever platform) functions as a megaphone for hate speech, or incitement to violence speech, or dangerous and obvious misinformation speech, it should be held accountable. And if it is being held accountable it should have discretion such that they can behave as a responsible megaphone. I’m all about free speech. But building multi billion dollar echo chambers that can be co-opted with impunity in the name of free speech makes zero legal sense and zero common sense.
Sure they do, because the US government obeys the law and upholds the constitution! Yes sir!
> What organization or individual ever in history could claim to have this kind of power over world affairs?

If I could find my copy of the book, "The Media Monopoly" I could give you numerous answers.
Free speech doesn’t necessarily only refer to the first amendment. You can talk about that particular legal protection but the principle isn’t limited to it.

If you believe in free speech, those values will probably extend beyond what a court would defend.

But free speech doesn’t mean absolute speech anarchy either.
we need to just stop using plastic altogether. companies were perfectly able to operate and make a profit off of glass bottles. poor and middle class people have not seen any economic benefit to switching to plastic in many cases. only the rich have seen the benefits. i see no reason not to return to glass for things like bottles if the only excuse is that rich people won't make as much money.
Move to the tropics; there's some variation but it's never very great.
Same here. Neil Cicierega and Weebl's crazy antics are what got me interested in basic programing way back when I was 12-13. From there I started doing more and more complicated things in Actionscript. Sure I didn't learn any theory and produced awful code -- but I got a conceptual idea of programming that has helped me feel comfortable tackling new languages today.

Making a dance video to Monty Python's "Camelot" song is what made me learn about sprite sheets and motion techniques. It encouraged me to start googling different camera angles to figure out how to frame my shots.

That's why I love seeing kids playing with Minecraft, as it contains many of the same elements that I was playing with when I was a kid. Now if we could only get them into Dwarf Fortress, THEN we'd be talking. :) Speaking of which, that steam launch is supposed to be soon.
Why do we write dedications in books?
I used to get up well before the sun rose for private school, it wasn't a big deal, we just went to bed earlier than most.

It was nice to have more time to myself before parents got home from work.

It seems strange for the state to be meddling in this.
However, corporate pillaging isn't always well rewarded which is a point that the article raises. I think there is something to be said of the transformative effect open source had upon labor dynamics in programming and related fields, and that it is not always 100% positive.

There are plenty of liberals who should sprout misinformation and should be de-platformed. Many in the anti-vaxxer movement are liberal politically and have caused real harm.
that depends on your browser / user agent. If you use chrome it’s material, if you use safari it’s ios.

If you enter responsive design mode in the chrome dev tools and switch to e.g. an ipad config, it will use ios styles.

Another big example is Linux. If you ever wonder why developers don't bother to support your Linux distro, try turning on telemetry once in a while. It'll help.
> The final cPython release (2.7.18) is slated for April next year [0]...

Fair enough, but there is still no commitment from upstream for most of the supported release of the next Debian release, so that is moot.

> ...PyPy has no such plans to drop support

This isn't relevant to the CPython package dependencies which are the issue at matter for Debian on this matter. They haven't explicitly said CPython because it's implicit the way that Debian's Python packaging is structured.

This is more or less an instance of the "paperclip maximizer" problem[1]. Complicated systems optimizing for simple goals often have unintended consequences.

Just as a side note, YouTube removed the "Not Interested" functionality if you are not logged in from mobile (web) and I can't find it either on the desktop web version.

Sure it's still there if you are logged in, but if you aren't you can only clear the browser (cookies) etc. To get ride of annoyances, but this isn't a feature a less technical versed use is aware about, especially because they are "annoyed about youtube not their browser, right?".

Well anyway the main problem doesn't lie with youtube specifically but the idea that this kind of systems are
a good idea.

----

This kind of systems ==> in the sense of very complex, opaque interwinded systems of targeted advertisement and recommendation system which are not meant to give you the best experience but keep you as long as possible on the platform. Which also through constant change of rules try their best to prevent people from gaming the system but in the end only end up hurting quality content providers through constant changing rules, and their recommendation system _still_ gets hijack frequently by all kind of people (from stupid annoying hidden advertisements, over *phobic hate propaganda, subtle political propaganda to cults like thinks).

Anyway in the end this is not only a technical problem but also a social one one more than one layer.

Also tbh. I would be more worried about many of the other modern user provided multimedia platforms then youtube.

But well, one problem is that many people have the misconception that youtube (and others) are safe.
It isn't especially not for young kids, even if it
doesn't contain porn or other "obvious" adult stuff.
You're probably the kind of person who researches LSD, maybe you were on erowid, you knew how long it would last, what rough dosage to take, what to expect etc etc. You'd know you need to be in a good 'setting' to have a good time.

That is not the way 99% of people drug-taking people approach drugs. They get offered it and they go 'yeah ok!'. Bad trips would happen all the time if it was as popular as weed or booze.
>I’d be happy if Mozilla ran video hosting and just targeted ads based on the video itself (and maybe broad geographic area and language) and not what the user browsed last week and is on the fence about.

Isn't that quite literally what youtube becomes, if you decide to turn off the watched history completely?
Your guide as it is currently is pretty lacking. No real dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, graph traversal, hash maps, heaps, etc.
