I like how you carefully place me at fault and make assumptions, instead of the whackadoodle. I was friends with him, I helped him cut a tree off his house and put up a fence. And no, it isn't asking a favor to stop their dog barking all night long, that's ridiculous. It's asking them to uphold their responsibilities as people living next to other people. I offhandedly asked his wife in passing if there was something they could do about their dog and he lost his frick'n mind.

And what do I want the cops to do about it? Issue a noise violation. Shockingly, laws are made to handle these sorts of things. We don't all have to take a baseball bat, or bake them cookies and suck up to our neighbors into taking care of their dogs.
ICE isn't border patrol; they don't patrol American borders. That's CBP, which is a separate wing of the DHS, and focuses on an entirely different area.

I'm not sure about the increase since 2000 (could be better detection methods), but the military is known to use a bunch of toxic chemicals. On the motorcycle forums I frequent I have heard more than a few times about how "The stuff we had when I was in the Army/Navy/AF would have cleaned this up in seconds." And they were only talking about the degreasers and lubricants, not the munitions or other chemicals that were hanging around the base.

this is awesome.

would have loved to have this book when we were building this at my previous co.

very approachable in how it explains each segment on the whole and zooms in on them individually.

> You work in exchange for cash, plain and simple.

The last time this was true for me, I was a teenager working at Taco Bell. In my professional life, I don't just work in exchange for cash, and never have.
> "Given how it works, I just can't imagine how you could reform healthcare in any meaningful way without outright terminating some of the plans as they existed."

I'm just spitballing here but... grandfather in all existing medical insurance contracts unless the individual chooses to terminate the contract. Let the insurance industry bank on the fact that the number of grandfathered contracts will only trend down over time.

Maybe it would hurt their profit margins, but how much hurt? Probably not enough hurt to knock down the industry is my guess.
AOT Compilation in HotSpot: Introduction
I don't think the comparison with aimbots is fair. Aimbots are more like a perfect micro. In the beginning (when they did their first show match), Alphastar was insane at that. Now the micro is not giving an advantage anymore.

Where alphastar shines, is in making a strategy work. It won't attack into something that looks dangerous. It won't forget to build more units. It won't be distracted on two fronts. (That said: Alphastar did some really stupid mistakes as well.)

I agree with you, though: it would be much more interesting, if Alphastar was actually handicapped in the micro (at least at a later point in the game). Then it would really need to find interesting strategies and counter opposing units with more cost-efficient ones.
Looks interesting, congrats on shipping! Give us a try too:

There are also other venues for teaching that one can explore - extension classes, etc. I paid for my summers in grad school by teaching test prep classes. Was pretty awesome once I could focus mainly on the grad classes - LSAT, GMAT, GRE. But great teaching and public speaking experience.
I haven't actually monetized it. I think without medium distribution, it will be limited to my followers. That is the only reason I switched on distribution. I have decided to just use Github for my future blog.

Could this not be stress related?
The latter, although many common sintering alloys simply couldn't meet the requirements to be an engine block. The crystalline structure caused by the unique thermal process of sintering creates a far less stable structure, especially against thermal stress, which is less than ideal for a combustion engine.

In my original comment, I meant to say forging. You could sinter and then forge, which could work.

> doing the right thing

It appears that most of the country (Spain) does not agree hence the existing laws. It's questionable whether even most of Catalonia agrees. Just because a small minority thinks that it's the right thing means nothing in the context of a whole country.

> You shouldn't block your spouse from divorcing you

If you have to use broken analogies to make the point then you don't have much of a point. It should be pretty clear right now that unlike divorce, what we're talking about here is illegal. You don't get to vote whether laws apply to you or not. The country as a whole votes what happens to the country.

> when there's a large demand in a democracy

Spain is the democracy, not Catalonia. And Spain's laws/constitution are pretty clear. The only democratic process that would be valid right now is to change the laws as a country, and then do anything about independence.

You seem to think democracy is this weird selective process where you can take an arbitrary group of people and as long as they mostly agree on something then everyone should submit to that.

Your logic above is perfectly able to justify anything, even genocide, as long as laws no longer apply because (local) majority consensus exists.
> they don't have its package ecosystem.

I think in some ways this is a chicken-and-egg problem. If people start working with Swift in the server space, that ecosystem will quickly evolve.

Also, Swift has great interop with the C FFI, so you have access to every C library, and every Rust library with a C API to boot.

edit:

> Aside from that, does anyone think that javascript is a good language choice for backend development?

I write a lot of swift code for personal projects, largely because it's so nice to program in, and I actually think it could be a great choice for back-end development.

I think Swift offers many of the same advantages of Rust in terms of a robust, powerful type system, and the feeling that if your code compiles, you're probably not going to have too many runtime errors (as long as you followed the rules).

Swift makes tradeoffs in favor of developer ergonomics where Rust chooses in favor of performance. In the vast majority back-end cases, Swift's performance will be good enough, and it's ease of use lets you have many of the advantages of a language like Rust but with the improved productivity of working with a higher level language.

Sure, and if you only have county-level metrics, then you can only perform analysis at the county level. But then you must be aware of the skew that represents in data, and make that clear. Presenting county-by-county analysis as definitive representations of flow, not accounting for physical size, does not give an accurate picture of real flow. Only to population centers and/or large counties, but large flow may be happening to many adjacent, small physical counties and this type of analysis of "core counties" would never know.
It's really outrageous to characterize them that way. It minimizes the Holocaust.

- are you aware that software with that power exists today, and that since at least 2007 some of its users have been convicted of using it for stalking/harassing/worse?

For how long have you been doing web development?

For a novice it's common to feel a bit frustrated and lost. You however are simply bored by it, so I don't think that matters in this case.

Is there anything else (realistic) you'd prefer to be doing? Can you imagine yourself in some other position? Does it invoke happiness?
No, people should leave situations they're uncomfortable with. Vote with your feet.

I believe they also make exclusive deals with venues such that the venues get paid for signing. And after TicketMaster's merger with LiveNation, the same company owns both venues and ticketing, making it even harder for anybody to compete.
Rediscovering the wheel much ? You guys are starting again like 30 years ago, with simple queries and think all that was built is overkill. When you mature and get into complex analytics and joining data from 20 sources you will understand all that was built. Just you wait...

The fact that Swift is at all usable on other platforms is pretty amazing, really, and it's a recent but quickly accelerating initiative.

As far as taking over from Go or Rust, I don't see someone with a greenfield project picking up Swift as the basis of some arbitrary project. Instead I see someone working on a Swift-based app -- say for iPadOS or macOS -- and needing a server-side component and deciding that it enables better skill and code re-use to implement the server-side in Swift as well.
And yet I can pay to not see ads on Youtube and Twitch. Is there something different about video vs written content?

I have nearly the same power to determine where my taxes go as I do to stop the people in local council making non-binding declarations that don't carry any legal consequences or obligations.

My point is that geography is not a good determinant for agreement or disagreement with the politics and beliefs that take place in that geography.
I've been using rsnapshot for a decade or more. For a modest amount of data (a few TB) the performance is adequate, and it is easy to verify the backups. It is also easy to restore files, just go into the directory corresponding to the date of the backup. I could try to run compression in the filesystem itself to save space, but haven't done that so far.
Hi Brian,

I really hope this will change, though. Skilled AIs could make so many games more interesting and better.

Many online games really suffer from bad multiplayer experiences. Players that drop in the middle of a game, ...

If Overwatch, Destiny, ... had really good AIs, that would make the game more attractive. If a player drops, they could replace it with similarly skilled AI.
Instead of waiting for 12 players of the same skill-level, they could just play with some AIs.

They could even make it such, that humans win 70% of the time, and let the AIs just lose more often.

They make statistical areas[0], granted they can be seen as too large to be meaningful. Rather, in this case, to determine flow, you have to use adjacency to determine "areas" of large concentration that may consist of a single county or multiple.

Of course a Texas court upheld a bogus patent. It's a Texas court. It's what they do. Patent trolls love taking their cases to Texas because Texas courts routinely side with software patent holders and effectively ignore judicial precedent at higher levels (which is exactly what happened here).
I spent at least sixty seconds on the page and still have no idea what a ticket reservation system is. Is it some sort of RPC handler? A ticketmaster for small non-profit venues? An embedded device OS for barbershops?
I was inspired by the goals and design approach of OLPC. I participated in the G1G1 program and received an XO-1. The machine worked well enough, but I was shocked by the poor quality of the software. Even though I had no connection to the product, except as a customer, it made me embarrassed to be a member of the computer industry. Sorry, it was too long ago for me to remember specifics. But in retrospect, it was a perfect example of MIT Media Lab arrogance, wherein the demo is all that matters.
A good sign in a type system for me is that the types are accurately modeling behavior that I find in day to day code. To the point where moving back to a language that lacks this feature feels weirdly unsafe or not expressive enough. Going back to C APIs, with their states that need to be read via bit masks or through special integer return values, is just painful after using discriminated unions. Likewise being able to have multiple owners to a value is a little weird after using Rust.

Also what's the deal with the fi ligature in the code? It throws off the kerning and holds no purpose.
Oh, and receive kickbacks from the hotel. Don't forget that part.
Yes, I have seen Scrum work well. The key is to recognize it is a tool for increasing team performance, team member autonomy, and increasing organizational transparency.

It is not a product management framework that should be used to manage inch/milestones and the like.

As soon as some sort of top-down control is (almost invariably) applied, it breaks Scrum. And most organizations want top-down oversight and control, not a high-performing team that may be resistant to organizational processes that negatively impact product development while satisfying other organizational needs (like LOC metrics or something else equally pointless).

Scrum is just empirical process control and improvement. The iterations aren't just to do the next thing on the backlog, but to improve the team's ability (and speed) to create working software that satisfies business needs.

The main reasons I have seen scrum fail are:

1) The organization implements a layer of management on top of Scrum that "won't effect it", but it does, because if you don't understand Scrum/agile, modifying it usually won't have the desired outcome.

2) Inexperienced Scrum Masters who act as a team leader, when their actual defined role is that servant coaches whose goals are to protect the process from interference and the team from organizational intrusion during sprints.

3) The transparency required for Scrum to operate reveals inefficiencies or actual malpractice at higher levels, and those levels are protected by management, creating a roadblock that cannot be passed.*

As you can tell, yes I have drunk the Kool-Aid, but I have seen Scrum (and other agile implementations) drastically improve performance and software quality, but you have to have buy-in and support from the highest levels to make it a success. When the process meets a roadblock that cannot be removed, it kind of kills the whole thing.

* Personally, I have seen it reveal:

- VPs who are actively preventing projects from succeeding (but who are protected by their level),
- Rockstar (cowboy) coders whose poor development practices (no source control, no testing, code in production) negatively impact the rest of the software teams, but as they are the CEO's buddy, nothing can be done to address the behavior,
- Database teams who successfully blame their errors on software development teams, because the Director of DB is a buddy of the President, so his word is taken over actual evidence
This is now part of MacOS since Catalina - called Sidebar, and it works perfectly.
I usually search with specific dates for a stay, so it's weird that they don't summarize the listings by total cost instead of the nightly rate leaving out the fixed costs. That'd fix the problem, right? (Of course they could divide that total cost by the night count if they can't let go of normalizing to nightly rate. The point is to not incentivize accounting shenanigans.)

Overall I've been happy with airbnb as a traveler, but if they don't step up their game it's going to be like having been happy with the early web, or Amazon reviews in the early days when it was easy to ignore a few fakes. That general problem of evolving predators is hard, but this particular change seems easy.
A Simple Cell Phone
The reason you all clicked into this message is because thats what we all want. I'm tired of apple, google, etc...

I want a startup to create a cell phone that frees my data to whomever i want (dropbox, gdrive, etc..) , allows me to chose whatever integrated messaging platform i want (whatsapp, something else you guys start), allows me freedom to pick companies and brands i trust for all parts of that...

I don't have the hardware skill set, but if anyone does, i'll join that mission.

We need to create a phone for humans... not for people to mind control us.
I also have to wonder what percentage of GitHub’s employees _are_ non-US citizens. Every programming job I’ve ever had in the U.S. was for a company that was staffed by at least 90% foreigners; if they see U.S. immigration as an adversary, they may be opposing any contract on personal grounds.
