> The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints actively discourages any sort of rational individual thought

As an active member, I can say that this comment is untrue. The Church actively encourages education. A simple example is the amount of money it pours into the BYU education system. There is a big emphasis on acquiring knowledge and wisdom.

I actually think that the first two factors are more important and more relate to the culture of the state of Utah than of the Church as a whole.

Yep. Watch what capital does, and don't make excuses about "regulations" or "politics". The capital is flowing into wind/solar, because the capital smells money.

People fall in love with the idea of nuclear power. They get offended that it may not be the savior after all.
I ran into an issue recently specific to Pandas and python3 with unicode.

pd.read_excel(filepath) will read an entire dataset even if it contains unicode characters.

pd.ExcelFile() silently drops(!!) unicode rows. The resulting object will simply skip unicode-containing rows (in ANY column) them without even a warning.

For example, if you had an excel file:

word

---

"hello"

"hello"

你早

你早

"hello"

then pd.read_excel() would give you a dataframe with 5 rows. ExcelFile() on the other hand would return (silently!) a dataframe with only the first two and the last row.

Maybe this is a pandas issue, not a python issue, but it was really horrendous to debug for such a long time only to realize this was the issue.

Well isn't that exactly what you are doing?
So what 1password used to do was charge a higher application fee (think it was like 40 or 50 bucks?) and then also would charge again for larger version releases. Apple (which was/is the largest part of the user base) does not provide a way to do discount pricing on upgrades, and they do provide discounted cuts on their take for subscriptions after the first year. So they absolutely were able to drop the cost to end-users after all of that was factored in, although there are users who have to pay more (people who would stick on old versions). But that’s a nightmare / costly to support, and creates misalignment.

Anyways all of that said, the 3rd party sync solutions all suffered from varying degrees of funkiness that just don’t exist with the native solution. Their switching to monthly pricing was, objectively, very successful and didn’t cost majority of users more money. But there are a small number of people who it rubbed the wrong way, clearly, but any business action is bound to piss some small number of people.
You mean like vectorized instructions and such? I don't know, but if I had to guess I'd say no.

Anyway, I'm sure there are some compilation phases that won't benefit from more cores, but the bulk of the compilation seems to do so. Even though Elixir has incremental compilation, due to use of metaprogramming in the Phoenix framework sometimes even changes to a single file will trigger recompilation of hundreds of others, so I was thinking these new AMD CPUs with lots of cores could be very helpful here.
No. A plurality of the gun deaths are suicide (%33). Accidents and homicide add up to more.
Fair criticism. But shouldn't you be even more pissed that the Unicode release was botched and we're still talking about it more than 10 years after?

That was interesting, thanks for the link. Within, street artists from Berlin were asked to add realism to the background of scenes in a Middle East refugee camp by painting Arabic graffiti. The artists painted criticisms of the show and no producers checked what was painted before it aired.
It’s probably similar but I’m not convinced it’s preferred. If I lose that journal anyone can read it. If I lose my computer it is most likely locked already, and if not it (as well as 1PW) autolocks itself after a short time.

Also like I mentioned elsewhere, I do sync my vaults, but only using the local WiFi option.
Thanks very much for the suggestion! I really didn't know where to start and the first few sites seemed to dive right into charts but I'll check out manifests this time. Thanks again.
They do not disable it. They only implement MSR which can allow you to disable it. If you want to stay with updated microcode and with HLE, just don't configure it as disabled.
"Written in Rust" is overselling it.

It's somewhat impressive that c2rust is can translate so much code, but without following it up with refactoring into more idiomatic Rust (which is a lot of work), this is merely replacing gcc with rustc.
Because it's not just syntactic changes, it's implied-semantic changes too. You can't mechanically transform a project and know that it'll work.

And you can't do it gradually, so it's all-or-nothing. (yes, "six" exists, but you still execute one way or another)

And you'll have to change the versions of all your libraries, which is not usually a smooth experience in the Python ecosystem. (this is another place where it's "all or nothing", since six can't help you if your dependencies don't all use it + use it correctly)

It's a huge risk with huge cost for already-working, running code. For new stuff, sure, write it in 3, but 2.7 works fine and has the added benefit of being very well understood by this point.
Seems like it would have to be the same license as BusyBox, since it is a "compiled" artifact of BusyBox (just compiled to another high level language).
I'm really surprised by that. I eventually abandoned Lastpass for 1password around a year ago because I couldn't handle Lastpass's bugs any longer. (And those bugs had eroded my confidence in their ability to keep passwords secure.) I'm also on Android, but the difference is probably that I use Firefox. LP has treated Firefox as an afterthought for quite a while now, with numerous serious bugs languishing for months or even years. Since moving to 1pw I've had very few complaints. The autofill on Android isn't perfect, but it's better than Lastpass was. And the desktop product is flawless aside from a bit of an Apple-centric design.

Busybox is quite literally “POSIX in a box”. It’s useful to have on systems where you’d like a shell and some utilities but don’t want to bother with having anything fancy.

In this case the answer is clear: when you build a cloud app, take the effort to make it multi-cloud, so you can bail out when any one cloud gets too domineering, or just too expensive.

This is the primary reason that I'm reluctant to build on Datomic Ions. They have made an explicit decision to build it for AWS only.

I don't think 1) unsafe will ever become prevalent in the ecosystem nor 2) that unsafe should be seen as anything other than an escape hatch that is sometimes necessary.

Autotranslations from C will be seen as what they are, a transliteration from a less safe language with exactly the same bugs as the preexisting codebase. You could think of the case of calling a COM library that has a leak or a OOB error, I wouldn't blame the language doing the calling for the bug.

Having said that, these translations are still useful as a starting point, not a destination. Think of a case where the external C API is retained, but all the innards are gradually converted to a more idiomatic codebase.

1Password will doubtfully never be profitable enough to be worth $3.2 billion. Whether they can pawn themselves off to the public markets first is another question.

Again with the 'Tremendous amount of effort' meme. I've done many ports and they were all trivial:

- run 2to3
- spend 2h max fixing any failing tests
- cook of any remaining issues in a few days of beta testing like you'd do for any new release

Now now doubt Python 2.7 is a excellent and solid release and will remain so for as long anyone keeps the bitrot in check, but to keep using it because porting is 'hard' is patent bs.

Essential Open Source Grantees Announced by CZI
Product Manager for Cloud Run for Anthos here.

This is a great question -- thanks for asking.

GCF provides a different experience where you provide just snippets of code and you don't have to even build a full app. Of course, this has pros and cons. The pros are that it's easier to get started, and the service manages things like language runtimes for you. But, the number of languages is usually limited, and you can't customize the OS packages you're including.

In Cloud Run, you provide an entire container. But, this means you're responsible for the contents of the container, which means you have to roll out updates if there there is a security issue for a language.

The two products actually run on the same underlying infrastructure. And, with the open source JavaScript functions framework, you can have a GCF-like experience on Cloud Run. https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/functions-framework

This was actually the subject of a talk I did last month at ServerlessConf (containers vs. functions), but unfortunately the video hasn't been posted yet. (It'll be posted at https://acloud.guru/series/serverlessconf-nyc-2019.)
Boats have been carrying waterproof paper maps for decades, and for thousands of years before that carried vellum maps with waterproof ink. I have waterproof maps on my boat, the physical maps are required by the US Coast Guard.

You do not need extra equipment to read in the dark, you just need to not be standing next to a street lamp. Your eyes adjust quite well. If the moon is out you can read a map with sunglasses on. The moon is plenty bright enough to cast shadows and read by if there are no external light sources nearby.

If you use paper maps for any period of time, folding them becomes second nature, this is like saying that reading books takes too long compared to watching movies because you have to learn to read. On boats, navigational maps are rolled and there is dedicated space for unrolling them. Not all maps are used in the backcountry. Also maps come in bound formats called atlases which are quite convenient. Also Mapscos.

I feel like this post was written by someone who grew up in a post google maps world.

> AWS Partner Network

> AWS won’t even let partners use the word “partner” in some cases. When it comes to joint engineering or co-development, AWS won’t let partners use the words “partner,” “partnership,” “partnering” or “alliance,” opting for terms like “agreement,” “teamed,” or “in cooperation” instead.

The not very cynical take is, the person(s) responsible for this had too wide a mandate to dictate language and went overboard.

The cynical take is that this puts partners into a position where they almost certainly will violate the guidelines. This is like making jaywalking a crime. If you make something everyone does a crime, you can selectively prosecute the people you don't like, so language like this makes it easy to tell any partner offering services AWS doesn't like they're violating the rules.

The conversation will go something like this:

(Satire follows.)

Partner: How can we get right with AWS?

Amazon: Well, easy, you just need to stop advertising that you're partners.

Partner: So after we went to the effort of forming an agreement with Amazon and becoming partners, we can't advertise it? Advertising our services as partners helps drive new customers our way!

Amazon: Well, that seems like a you problem. It's plain as day, the rules say you can't advertise yourselves as partners in the AWS Partner Network brand guidelines.

Partner: What about $other_partners?

Amazon: We can't comment on our relationship with other individuals or businesses, have a great day!

Most of it's developers and advocates have moved on to other more popular languages is arguably true (in addition to JS/TS I see a lot of Perl devs moving to Go). I know I personally do very little Perl despite working on a team where a significant portion of the work is done in Perl that is less than 2 years old.

But that's not what you claimed, you claimed the developers and advocates were mostly retiring. And that simply doesn't appear to be true ... yet. Give it 10-20 years and I'll expect it to be very true.

I'd also say that Perl's popularity is effectively gone in the general use of the term. While some new development is actually being done in Perl, IME the only people choosing it are already Perl advocates.

No they aren't, because porn is available for free in abundance everywhere. I can't download a coffee from a torrent site or stream it from a tube site.

The fact that people pay for porn at all is a small marvel.

I might be willing to accept that people would more motivated to jump through some hoops to get porn than they would for coffee if porn weren't available without that hoop jumping.

All this sort of thing will do is make it harder for independent content producers to profit

Personally I have no use for lookingglass. To make it work you need anyway a display connected (or something simulating a connected display) otherwise it will not render to the shared memory.

What's the turn around time between receiving crypto currency and getting that into e.g. USD in a bank for you? As long as that is short, volatility is minimized.

I think the volatility issue is a major pain-point to people though. As long as you keep your money liquid in cryptocurrency, isn't it essentially holding stock (albeit driven by BTC mining and transactions) in terms of capital gains and losses? But if you use stock, I believe you are required to hold it for periods by the SEC (don't quote me, but, blah blah Holding Period?), so maybe crypto wins in this regard anyway...

The backend for this project actually has a wider scope - https://github.com/botleague/botleague, with our self-driving sim being the first use-case for it. Everything is open source and open data - sans some temporary keys used to communicate evaluation data between problem providers and our score keeper server (https://github.com/botleague/botleague-liaison). The hope is that others will post problems as well - of which combinations can be solved by more and more general and sophisticated bots. Curious as to what you all think of this self-driving leaderboard and the broader AI league idea. Very early stage here, but excited to get it out for y'all to try.
