I don't think that outweighs the literal years of the RUSSIAN COLLUSION nothingburger, if you're going to talk about bogus investigations.
I can’t edit this post for some reason so I’ll just put my correction here.

I attended a presentation today that, at one point, showed toroidal flow rate over radius in a 1m major radius device. It ranged from 30 to 100 km/s. There are many effects operating at different timescales. Turbulence is among the shorter timescales, making it difficult to simulate and why it is only now the current focus of many researchers.
If you're finalizing the invoice, you're hopefully doing something like this, right?

UPDATE invoices SET
final = TRUE,
invoice_number = @InvoiceNumber
WHERE id = @InvoiceId;

(Where @InvoiceNumber is some variable the application's substituting into the query)

If so, then the problem you present should never happen (unless the DB doesn't do atomic updates by default, but wrapping the update in a transaction should provide the necessary guarantees to prevent the problem from happening; if your DB doesn't support transactions, then you really should be switching to a different DB yesterday).

If that somehow could happen, though (i.e. you don't trust the application to be bug-free, which is a reasonable attitude), a CHECK constraint (as others have pointed out) would make the database enforce that:

ALTER TABLE invoices
ADD CONSTRAINT final_invoices_have_invoice_number
CHECK (final = FALSE OR invoice_number IS NOT NULL);

Of course, I'd also be wondering why an invoice would ever exist without an invoice number (it's easy enough to just make the invoice number NOT NULL - or, better yet, make it the primary key), but hey, if that's the business requirement, then that's the business requirement.
I am also interested in using a language like Go for ML. The reason is not really about performance though. I just find statically typed languages are much easier to debug when the size of projects are getting bigger.
“Your logic is that shares are money, but companies can print shares, which would imply that they could print money.”

That is not my logic. You have made that up our of nowhere.

Obviously printing more shares leads to dilution and doesn’t increase the overall value of the outstanding shares.

But that’s just like money too - printing more money leads to devaluation of the currency.

So you are wrong, and clearly shares can be used just like money.

I agree with you that selling AdTech/Google shares doesn’t anything to reduce the resources that Google can spend on targeting ads.

But that’s not what our conversation has been about.
A few months ago I some high school kids job shadowing me to see if they wanted to get into development. I was showing the Web dev part of my job and was asked if I went to college for that. After thinking about it I realized the img tag was suggested my sophomore year of college and formally accepted my senior year. [0] So: A) no, I couldn’t have. B) I’m old.

Why are you so angry, to the extent of blurring the truth, about something which apparently has zero impact on you?

I think listing “need to learn to program” as a negative prerequisite of “want to build apps” is somewhat disingenuous.
Looks like Valve could be set to launch something called Steam Cloud Gaming
It’s not just enforcement challenges. There is no law that gives you the right to prevent someone from ‘improperly’ listening to your concert, because restricting that freedom is not seen as a necessary condition for the continued existence of concerts.

Ok, I remember the first time I got high and tripped out on whole nihilistic/insignificance thing.

You can also go the other direction, and think about the mind-boggling complexity of a single cell in your body, and all these cells working together to form, say, a tiny thought in your brain. We're pretty spectacularly significant, if you compare us to small things rather than big things.

Regardless, you'll have to define "meaning" for me before you can convince me that it's all meaningless. I have a definition for it that works for me, and it is relative and dependent on perspective.
Based on your needs, you can probably build that out yourself relatively easy. The whole point of CRMs is that they're not developer focused, they're sales, marketing, etc focused.
Yeah, that stuff in liquid form is nasty enough just trying to get it off your skin.

I don't want to even think about it getting in my lungs.
Perhaps Neflix, HBO and Cable Giants don't realise that in 2019 the internet is super fast, storage is super cheap and piracy is easier than ever.

Why would a sense of justice need to come from God? Mere fear of death would naturally lead to a prohibition against murder. Desire to keep things for oneself would lead to private property and the prohibition of theft. Etc.

And if our sense of justice does come from God, why does it develop over time? Modern people who read the whole Bible are usually struck by how unjust the God therein is.
they should kill you too for spreading fake news, and for glorifying the people responsible of the trash electron app powered by trash javascript
Alternative title “Developers wanting to ship an entire browser engine with their shovelware apps are salty about Mac App Store rules”.

1. The rules are the same for all apps.

2. Not Apple’s fault that Electron does not use the perfectly good browser engine shipping with macOS, but instead includes a separate browser with each app.

3. No one is forcing you to use the Mac App Store.

The private APIs rule is not new, Apple is just enforcing it harsher. Chromium has been breaking it at leisure, because Chrom(e|ium) itself does not ship via the MAS.

Yes, the people shipping Electron apps via the MAS have put themselves in a tough spot by skirting the rules. I can sympathise, but pretending that this is just Apple being mean and they couldn’t have seen this coming is downright disingenuous.

As for Safari, it would certainly be nice if they adopted new browser standards quicker, but being slow on the uptake is not the same as actively making things difficult.
This is sort of my thought process as well; the universe is unjust as long as suffering exists in any form at all. Whether this has any sort of inherent “meaning” is sort of beside the point, because suffering doesn’t have to have deeper meaning to be horrible in and of itself.
This is just flexing words to confuse your brain and assert his idea about God. I don't know the author, but anyone advocating for a God or a religion is a person 1. with an agenda and 2. can has no scientific basis for his thesis.

God, the one in Quran or Bible, doesn't exist. It's as simple as that. The same with morality; as dark as that thought is. We are just too weak to face the truth.

>I think it's fun, but I HATE that it has such a strong pay to win component.

At most tournaments, all the players have essentially equal access to any cards they want to play with. Some formats are more expensive than others to enter of course, but that's about the same as any other sport - I don't race thoroughbred horses or drive Formula One motorcars either.

In terms of non-tournament (or tournament practice) there is nothing stopping people from taking a sharpie and writing "Black Lotus" on a one-cent card and playing as if it's the most expensive card in the game. People do this all the time.
Have you considered that maybe it might be the other way around? Issues which where formerly just a matter of political opinion are now being presented as moral issues, and that as a result anyone perceived to be on "the other side" (regardless of any nuances present in their actual opinion) must be a dispicable human being who deserves whatever consequences they receive for their iniquity.

(And before you counter with an extreme example of a truly dispicable opinion, consider the context here: is what Mr. Wood said here in any way comparable to the example you're about to give?)
The claim that you can actually measure the growth of grass from a sattellite (which is the kind of precision we are talking about here) seems just too extraordinary to accept at face value, when all other technologies we use with satellites have no such precision. it does not pass the sniff test. I could be wrong but I am willing to bet the error bars on such measurements would be huge.
You left out early voting, where you can vote for several weeks before the actual election date. <grin>
I read Hughes' article set it aside and read again then wrote out my thoughts. A point first:

1) Hughes' critique is of Dr. Kendi and both of his books "Stamped", which I referenced above, and "How to Be an Anti-Racist", which I have not read so if you would like to critique my critique of Hughes' critique, there are items I ignore because they reference ideas I know are not from Kendi's book that I have read.

I recommended the book Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America in my earlier post because it paints a clear picture how racism is alive in well in America in 2019, both in overt, covert, and systemic forms.

Hughes' critique shows errors Kendi made, and discredits unsubstantiated claims Kendi made. Yet in the end Stamped from the Beginning, and its central tenets are still standing.

Hughes' critique of Kendi suffers from some of the same issues he charges Kendi with. Hughes cherry picks facts and claims from Kendi's work to critique, and takes a broad brush to make some unsubstantiated claims of his own. Unfortunately this gives Hughes' work the air of pseudo-intellectualism.

In Stamped from the Beginning, Kendi weaves the ideas of racism, anti-racism, and other forms throughout his book as major ideas in America's past and present. Those include assimilation, segregation, "uplift-suasion" (the notion that black people could gain equality in the eyes of white people by being model minorities), and others. As core themes of the book Hughes neglects to mention them or in some cases discusses them in isolation from each other and not in reference to Kendi's core idea of racism/anti-racism.

For example, when countering Kendi's claim that "capitalism is racist" Hughes cites Plessy v. Ferguson

The most famous is the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court case, when a profit-hungry railroad company––upset that legally mandated segregation meant adding costly train cars––teamed up with a civil rights group to challenge racial segregation.

Here, Hughes conflates anti-segregation with anti-racist. This is an unfair treatment of a core idea of Kendi's work. It belies either ignorance or intellectual dishonesty on the part of Hughes. One of the biggest take aways from Kendi's history is that one could be against segregation, slavery, or other ideas we associate with racism, and still be racist.

The latter chapters of Stamped from the Beginning show just how the language we hear today around "law and order" and other political slogans emerged from Richard Nixon knowing exactly how to appeal to racist voters without saying the n-word. The lineage is traced from Nixon, to Reagan, Bush I, and up to Clinton (could go further, but I have a few chapters yet to finish).

So if you are considering Stamped from the Beginning, I don't see Hughes' critique as one worth keeping you away from it.
If People Were Paid by Ability, Inequality Would Plummet
Securities fraud and something under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act I'm sure ^_^ fun thought exercise.
I believe it is mandatory to capture it, and either find a use for it (electricity or heat, or both), or you must flare it.
There was an amusing story on the most recent episode of the Verge's podcast, where they mentioned that when they assigned a reporter to cover this story, the bulk of the time he spent on it was just making sure it wasn't some kind of viral marketing scheme for an upcoming romcom film or something.
They are now because they both use those APIs. You can read about the impact of this specific one here:

https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2019/10/22/dramatically-red...

Before using those private APIs, with no other options to reach the same performance as Safari, both Chrome and Firefox were in a completely different league.
One could argue “Electron developers” have abandoned open technologies (vanilla web browsers), for heavily customized to taste versions.

And expect us all to gift them the CPU, memory, storage overhead of their preferred distribution model.
> The merchant alleges he could offer the same products on Amazon at lower prices and with faster, more reliable delivery if he could handle logistics himself without being penalized for late deliveries.

I feel like this is not unexpected. If on-time delivery is non-negotiable for Amazon then that will be built into the price.

Anyone who builds anything is trying to get permission to relax one constraint in order to facilitate another.
> You do not have an entitlement to intellectual property, our entire society is built on top of that concept.

Our society is based on the idea that the public in fact does have an entitlement to all IP except trademarks. The Constitution is pretty clear that it's a limited monopoly that was originally 14 years for copyright. When that's been perverted so that "forever minus a day" is a limited copyright, then I don't feel the need to respect their property.
So you want to eradicate all suffering? You know the easiest way to do that right?
There are A LOT of remote jobs. As someone who just went through a job hunt for remote positions, there was pretty much a constant supply of opportunities. However, most of them are startups. There is definitely a lack of established remote first companies with 200+ employees.
They gave rise to Snapchat, knowing that they'd want to control what went on the record. Now they're the first to figure out the new rules of public communication.
Product Focus vs. Customer Focus
> encouraged a tremendous amount of public debate

I don't think "debate" is the right word for what happened in that thread.

> then single-handedly reverted Isaac Childers' commit

A perfectly good reason for reverting the commit was provided in the message itself: "All patches have to be signed off by either me or Bert." It looks like the patch didn't meet that criteria. He also cited other valid reasons for rejecting it: "have to collect and check the CLA, it makes git blame less effective, etc."

Is this change so overwhelmingly important and urgent that it overrides the aforementioned policy and concerns? I don't know.

Does the fact he rejected the patch excuse the way people reacted to his decision? No.
I probably would have gone with something like Kafka in this case, but it seems like Postgres serves them pretty well even if it's the "wrong" tool. If it works, fits your current needs, leads to faster development time, and isn't needlessly slow, then I say go for it.
Don't forget the famous discovery by Sun that shouting at disk drives messes them up: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/05/shouty_sun_engineer...
I thought it was interesting to see that at the start they explicitly tried to make the common cards just as powerful as the rare ones.

That’s definitely changed for the worse, as well as making individual cards more powerful.

I used to make fun of YuGiOh for being full of ‘this card wins you the game’ cards, but magic has very much transformed into exactly the same thing.
I built my stepson a deck for about 50 bucks, and he won more than one reasonably-sized (>15 players) tournaments, as a 13 year-old.

Yes, if you currently want to be relevant you probably need Oko and friends, but if you want to play cheap, you can.

And if you want to play commander for cheap, check out The Commander's Quarters on YouTube, all deck techs are 25 or 50.
The App Store Developer guidelines state that “going to the press won’t get you anywhere”, but there has been countless examples of this just not being the case.

Radar goes nowhere, going public does.
In response to your comment, I’ll quote the article itself:

> We’re all very sure we’re right, and the other people are wrong, conveniently forgetting that we made up those things too.
If you are within the range of error of your instruments you can average what you want all you will get is random noise. Averaging within the noise threshold does not bring you closer to the truth.on top of that there are waves on the sea so this is not even a flat and fixed surface we are talking about.
I think I was offered the digital version because I had purchased the "analog" version on amazon (was it for some specific publisher?). I can't find evidence of it though.
It’s a big assumption that you wouldn’t have purchased the product anyway. Sure, it’s often true, but there are clearly many people who dislike DRM and subscription fees who would nonetheless accept them if the alternative was to forego copyrighted entertainment altogether. The loss of the opportunity to sell to ‘you’ is not negligible.
They also have incentive to make it easier for you to switch platform. People are more likely to adopt a platform in the first place if it lets them escape, e.g., Joel Spolsky said Excel 4 was the tipping point because it allowed users to transparently write Lotus files:

> The trouble is that most managers only think about strategy one step at a time, like chess players who refuse to think one move ahead. Most of them will say, “it’s important to let people convert into your product, but why should I waste my limited engineering budget letting people convert out?“

I see this every day. People are much less likely to adopt Apple-only services than, say, Facebook and Google services that they can use on all of their devices and with all of their friends.

Stop having children? I’ll admit, it’s a very nice idea in theory, even though I don’t plan to follow it myself.
>Another great innovation it has over chess is making people pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year to the creator. I'm only being half sarcastic here; monetization seems like a difficult aspect of game design for an "analog" game like this.

In the original rules of the game, players had to ante up a random card from their deck every game. There were other cards that added to this ante during the game itself, much like doubling in backgammon. The point was to make the person who went out and spent a lot of money on the deck likely to risk more "monetarily" than the player who only spent a few dollars.

I played this way for many years and I still think it's the best way to play the game, with the trading of cards to get back the ante card a key mechanism to improve one's deck.
It's fine to want those things, but I think the "entitlement" idea comes from people who believe it is okay to have those things without paying for them.

It is analogous (or maybe identical) to stealing something you don't need because you think the price is too high. The appropriate response is not to steal it and also not to buy it.
> It's not for deleting all your friends when your account is deleted.

Very nice summary up until that point. But in a well normalized db the friends relationship (many-to-many) would be its own table. Friend relationships with the deleted user would be deleted, as they should be. Friends would not. (You still have time to edit for a better example.)
As far as I can tell, they are not pulling any apps. They are simply rejecting updates to the apps already on the store.

I haven’t seen any indication that special consideration is being given to Slack or other big brands.
If he used it to block it clearly wasn’t so important to his strategy though?
Kremlin Piles Pressure on Apple
Though I agree, I'd nitpick "unjust". Suffering could be called just or unjust depending on the situation, but I certainly think everyone can get on board with minimizing/eliminating suffering.
And sets these days are designed with limited in mind. Limited has gone from this weird thing you do at a PTQ side tourney after you flunk out round 4, to a real, super fun format!
It is what I do with my flatmate to practice new matchups (in Modern). I recommend using http://www.mtgpress.net to print out the decks easily from a decklist.
There is nothing less transparent than giving a public judgment without any of the reasoning that led to that judgment.
Yeah, i'm a somewhat reformed pirate, and the only reason i've switched from piracy to netflix and prime is because netflix is easier. If it stops being easier, i'll be back to piracy pretty quickly
I entirely agree. I tried Twitter years ago, but had no patience for it. It's like Usenet, but with "threads" that are much harder to follow.

But if you must use Twitter, you gotta play safe. If you work for a living, your real name account must be 100% work focused. No religion or politics. Nothing at all controversial.

And it it amuses you to join the fray, use a pseudonym. Seriously, with solid OPSEC. Because your career may well depend on it.
Who You Gotta Call?Gold Busters, We Afraid of No Gold
That's entirely by choice? You can play in all sorts of tournaments. If money is an issue, play a sealed deck tournament. I get that MAY run you a hundred bucks, but if even THAT is too much, play with friends and set rules about what cards are allowed.

The beauty of magic is that people with even a modicum of spending money can find a competitive game.
Agreed 100%, sometimes the FP community is its own worst enemy. Too many FP enthusiasts seem to think that "real" FP requires mastering category theory, which is cool and all but really just a particular subset of the paradigm, and a particularly Haskell-centric subset at that.

I encourage anyone who wants to learn functional programming to pick up the classic "Little Schemer" by Friedman and Felleisen. It's a charming book, designed for undergraduates, that teaches you all the important and appealing aspects of FP. And you won't be made to feel like an idiot because you don't know what a monoid is.
One downside my partner found with self-publishing is that a lot of the distribution channels she wants to get on, Scholastic Book Fair, Target/Walmart/Costco etc will only talk to reps from the Big Five Publishers.

Like you said - 90% of self-published is rubbish so it makes sense that big players like Costco etc would use the Big Five to filter..but other than getting that intro, what else does the Big Five provide?

Also - shameless plug for her book, STEM-Land: The Noble Gases Come to the Rescue. It's basically Pokemon w/ the Periodic Table, so it's for kids but I happen to think it's great.
To be fair, Apple struggles with maintaining their existing APIs. Who cares about the private ones, they probably break or change just as unexpectedly as the public ones.
The other day I was listening to a podcast with Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, two people that annoy me to no end, but I'm a glutton for punishment. In the podcast they made the point that if a man were to pursue his true biological imperative in modern society, he would just get paid to donate sperm all day at a sperm bank. That was a joke obviously but it speaks to a kind of simple, outcome-oriented way of looking at who we are. But the truth is we did not evolve to procreate, we evolved to have sex. The distinction is subtle, but it's there. We are amazing creatures but our DNA doesn't encode the big picture, it only encodes enough for us to make another link in the chain.

I think it's ok to step back and admire the big picture, but I don't think we are equipped to live in a way where we find agreement with the big picture.
