Not copyrightable APIs is a fairly dangerous precedent.

1. Good APIs are hard.

2. Under Alsup's ruling, good luck competing with AWS sales org when they decide to offer your own APIs as a service.

3. Nothing prevents Google from inventing their own APIs, and licensing them under whatever terms they like.

As of Google vs. Oracle, it's pretty clear that Google appropriated Java to benefit from its penetration in the market place, instead of putting in the hard work to build their own. Apple has built their own ecosystem, ObjectiveC/Cocoa/Swift/SwiftUI. Microsoft has built their own ecosystem, C#/DotNet, or adopted and contributed to open standards, HTML5/Javascript/Typescript. Heck, even HP has built WebOS around open standards.
Google had the option to buy SUN, too.
Realistically you probably want to just use QEMU for builds until you find yourself needing to scale to something like https://www.packet.com/cloud/servers/c1-large-arm/

If you're doing it just for the novelty or really want to do it on site natively at a reasonable cost check out the Jetson TX2 dev kit. The TX2 has been mainlined for a while now and this kit offers 8 GB RAM with a fast CPU and the ability to connect fast SATA/NVMe storage. While most distros would run on it you would probably need to make your own install package (or just run container images for builds if you don't NEED to have an exact kernel)
Loops in go are much less flexible than loops in C, you'd never see code like that in go.

> In order to ensure the quality for all packages, now you have to keep all versions anything depends on in check

Spot on. This creates a burden of work impossible to handle for any distribution.

What really happens with the "everything goes" packaging (like throwing stuff in docker) is that nobody does security updates for most libraries.
Lombok Saved My Ass
In MicroK8S they are using Dqlite (as a replacment of etcd), a marriage of SQLite and RAFT, previously discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20836331

"The move to SQL as a data store is mirrored in Canonical’s multi-cloud Charmed Kubernetes, embracing corporate databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL and Postgres, and public cloud SQL offerings like AWS Relational Database Service (RDS). Administrators will be able to use these familiar SQL databases for Kubernetes cluster data instead of etcd."
Here's what this research tells me: demand for transportation is much higher than the current use of transportation.

Current use is limited by cost and convenience.

Self-driving car is likely to fix both so it'll lead to more use of transportation.

This is a good thing. We're currently deprived and if things go well, we'll get more of what we want.

The congestion problem is mostly overblown.

First, maybe with rare exceptions like L.A., the traffic is only bad during rush hour, when people are going to work and getting back home. Other times there's plenty.

Second, the way we drive currently is very inefficient. Just last weak I was walking in San Diego along a street at ~5:30 PM i.e. rush hour.

I just eyeballed but ~80% cars were single person.

Not to mention that ~40% cars were gigantic, because it looks that if people can afford gigantic cars, they'll buy them. And in US they can afford it.

Robotaxis would fix those 2 issues.

The cars would no longer be an expression of personality and a status symbol but a utility operated by an organization focused on practicality and cost, like buses and trains.

It's also very easy to use pricing to force people to use the available resources efficiently during congestion.

Let's say a ride is $10 if you drive in a car alone. $5 if you share with another person and $3 if you share it with 2+ people.

If that pricing delta is not enough, increase the price of to $20 (vs $3) or to $50.

Or provide commuting passes tho employers (kind of like Google buses) where a company pays a $100 to robotaxi company per month and the employee gets to use it for free for commute, but only in shared mode.

The future with robotaxis is much brighter than those doomsday prediction of traffic.
This is generally fine, at least in Google Cambridge.

It's just for tax purposes, as has been made abundantly clear in this thread.
Yes, and 1 more bike is 1 less car, so (a bit) less pollution
Yeah, the cops can search your medical records if you printed them out and left them with a friend and that friend gave the cops access to them.

HIPAA only applies to "covered entities" and their business partners, which are (1) health plans, (2) health care clearinghouses, and (3) health care providers who electronically transmit any health information in connection with transactions for which HHS has adopted standards. GEDmatch is none of those.

5 Black Friday Shopping Tips to Snag the Best Deals
I've used the "One" "Family Plan" for a couple years, whatever it was before One. It's nice, but I do worry about the non-linear pricing. For 200GB at $3/mo, that's fine. Then for 2TB it drops per GB to $10/mo.

The next jump is 10TB for $100/mo (double the per/GB). But my storage consumption doesn't jump like that, I won't go from 2TB to 10TB (probably). Which makes 3TB feel like $33/GB/mo...

S3 is linear and drops. B2 is linear. Google Fi refunds me for actual usage below what I've paid for. Why is storage so weird?
From my archaic (and by no means first hand) understanding of jails they are basically a docker alternative (long) long before Docker. They have been tried and tested probably arent 100% secure but damn near enough to be worthwhile. Jails is the main concept that interested me in BSD. I just dont want to deal with drivers. If I pop in an ISO I want things to work period. So I stick with Linux instead.

I'd find it hilarious if my arch enemy [1] bought my mortgage, especially if they paid a premium to get it.

When someone buys your mortgage it doesn't change the terms of the mortgage. For the most part all that changes is who you send your payments to.

Probably the worst that they could do is (1) make you use a payment method that is inconvenient for you, such as mailing an actual check once a month, and (2) if you violate any terms of the contract be hard nosed about it.

[1] I'm actually between arch enemies at the moment, so the position is open if anyone would like to apply.

Design systems that UI designers come up with... and then break them later every chance they get, because unlike what developers believe, design is not always lego blocks and styles will be tweaked to fit the context. A developer sees the sum of all UI components on a page, but the designer sees missing accents or not enough spacing and will adjust those to fix issues or achieve a particular look... the result being new styles for that page.

I think you are misrepresenting her comments. It seems the comment about running is in the context of workout; she has a choice to run along roads or in parks. The comment about cycling, on the other hand, sounds to be related to daily commute or errands because she says that she prefers it over driving.
Yes but serfdom is compatible with a voluntary society so in the end what's the difference? Serfs were born with nothing and had to bind themselves to a Lord to live. There was also no land that was not parseled out to an owner so there really was no where to go except to choose between hard masters.
Cafe badging does nothing to address this, as guests don't even have badges to badge with! There's no gate that you need to badge into the cafe to enter, if that's what you're thinking about.

The way to address that is to see who is consistently registering to bring in way more guests to the office than anyone else.
>Because there are still unresolved pronouns in (Q2).

When something is self-referential and resolves to itself, that's the end of the recursive process. There's no need to produce a Q2 that is Q layered inside itself. You go and substitute the entire sentence in place of "this" and form some unresolveable chain of recursion but you do it for no apparent reason. If these were statements in a programming language your expansion might make sense, but not in the context of spoken english language.
Utility-First CSS only makes it easier to use inline styles

Quite interested in this subject.
1. Oyo are trying to scale incredibly quickly, always tough and in this investment climate, better get their forecasts correct and spend it quickly!
2. They are trying to scale globally, but adding software management of revenue and booking under their control is dangerous to owners especially if they have terms that include %'s take of increased revenue. This may mean booking at any price regardless in quiet periods and then there is a staff cost vs margin call. Quality will suffer.
4. The whole approach appears to be based on brand signage and not guest experience and is a budget business, so its a bottom feeding brand.
5. This budget position in Europe is often based on doing deals in older premises (quite few local to me). These are not modern eco-friendly, but high maintenance, unlike the new brands of accommodation which can also be budget and brilliant.

In in all its seems that the approach may end up with a negative brand connotation as is developing on their Facebook reviews page and the knock on effect will ensure poor returns.A Softbank recurring nightmare.

In fact LXC/LXD containers in Ubuntu are exactly this by default.
> KDE with the default breeze theme

Well, I don't like Windows classic style very much, but I use KDE with Breeze and it is the widget style I prefer amoung anything I have seen, with macOS just a bit under but I haven't used it very much. It is a big contrast with Oxygen in KDE 4, which is the widespread theme I liked the less.

Breeze is just clean, simple, elegant. It bears its name well.

I also tend to use Breeze in Gnome 3 when I periodically try it (Gnome is so beautiful with Breeze!), though Adwaita got a lot better recently, to the point it went from "I dislike this theme, why is it the default?" to "Pretty cool theme!". I might stick with it next time I try Gnome. Same for Tango, though I still prefer Breeze, maybe out of habit.

In Go that loop could be:

It has been obvious to me for a long time that AVs will not reduce traffic. Reducing the cost of driving will cause more driving to happen. While AVs will use the road slightly more efficiently, the increase in driving will more than make up for it.

AVs will make traffic a whole lot more tolerable, though. And they will dramatically reduce parking needs, freeing up space for other uses.
Supposed by who, though? As you can see from the survey there was nothing like consensus on the question. The link in that article is to the National Restaurant Association, who are a lobbying organization.
That's really not it. The more complex a language is, the more ways there are to approach a problem. The more things to have to learn and adapt to when reading code another engineer wrote.

You want code to be obvious. The senior engineer smiles when the junior engineer reads his code and says in just seconds "I know exactly what this does and have high confidence that it has no bugs."

Simpler languages facilitate simpler codebases.
Great animation. Everything orbits everything.

We are just trained as children to see the small things independently orbiting the big thing, but in reality all bodies orbit each other.

That’s what we call “lying”.
I think it's a combination of two things. One is looking for minimum change, which is honestly a pretty good urge. People like to keep doing mostly what they're doing. Having too much of the opposite instinct leads to eternal thrash.

The other, less good piece is people not being up to the task of going down to the fundamentals and building back up from there. And not just the technical fundamentals, but also those of system purpose, user needs, and how value gets delivered.

Which honestly, I get as well. Having tried using Kubernetes, I'm unimpressed. But it has such enormous momentum that even if I were sure I had a better solution, I doubt I'd bother going my own way. Instead I'd just try to mitigate the pain. Ideally I'd find a way that might lead people out of the technological cul de sac they ended up in.
Could survivorship bias be playing a role here?

In other words, the moons that did not stabilize in a fashion similar to this either crashed into each other or their planet already a long time ago?

I'd like to ask a very noob question. What kind of an approach would give us such an exact upper bound, when primes as a concept (in a layman's intuition) seem abstract and unconcerned with such specific figures?

I hope the question made sense.

This is a serious question, BTW. “Lots of people are using it” is testament neither to sound architecture nor practical need. Lots of people have joined MLMs; does that mean MLMs are good and needed? Or does it just mean lots people are easily seduced by layers and layers of makework and grift?

The only bit that sounds at all novel or interesting is the dispatcher; and even that is really just an expression of `<load_balancer> | ssh`. At which point, Unix Philosophy tells us we should implement <load_balancer> as a small simple single-purpose Unix command which can easily pipe to other Unix tools. Itch scratched; everyone can now go get on with their actual work.

So if that is the case, the precisely what problem is all CWL’s Castles-in-the-sky YAML crap actually solving, other than bored developers’ need to keep entertained? Especially when [from what I can tell] the project doesn’t even provide you a dispatcher component but instead tells everyone to take a spec and write their own.

How many wheels need to be reimplemented before someone involved declares it a pig in a poke? And how many more before the rest can accept this?
And what Google does, as one of the largest profit-seeking corporations in the world, matters a lot more than the views of its employees, and is not particularly affected by them.
The frustrating thing is that sometimes it is extremely difficult to find hardware that doesn’t suffer from this quality fade. Buying decent router hardware comes to mind; if I want a non-professional router that doesn’t use the cheapest hardware possible, it’s very difficult to assess this apart from spending hours hunting down reviews etc.
You might have a different idea of what art looks like. Well designed abstractions are elegant, conceptually simple, and not-leaky. These tend to make code more maintainable and easier to comprehend.
IBM was profitable but stagnating, they were already a major reseller of Red Hat, who were growing rapidly, had good tech, lots of potential to grow more, and was already big enough that they may be able to change IBMs numbers by enough to not just get lost in the noise (if you make $8.5+ billion profit changing that by $100million isn't going to get wall street excited)

Someone like MS would buy Canonical for completely different reasons, they're not big enough to effect Microsofts profits in any way, they dont have any really interesting tech, but they do have the Ubuntu brand and control of one of the really big linux distros (the biggest on the desktop) so there might be value in Azure being able to brand itself as the home of Ubuntu ("it runs perfectly on our cloud becuase we write it that way"). To be honest though I dont see that as a big enough thing to make MS risk their reputation as a good place to run Red Hat and openshift. The only other reason to buy Ubuntu would be to kill it, and the political ramifications of that to the open source friendly reputation they've worked hard to build would be bad.
Student loan debt is still not removable through bankruptcy, even if you transfer it to some other form of credit.

Also, transferring loans around with the intent to declare bankruptcy is fraud, and while you may skate on that initially you won't when you're in court.

It's not that gov't is terrified or incapable, it's that the dominant regulatory philosophy in our political leadership right now is neoliberalism. Which has large failure points - the recalcitrance to regulate Amazon is the same stance as not regulating the fossil fuel industry.
I think it's just very hard to generalize from the performance of a combination of people that each have unique personalities and abilities. It's hard to even know what to measure.

For a sorting algorithm, you know what to analyze, and you know the result is generalizable.
I disagree with the author but I appreciated very thorough explanation of various CSS structuring approaches - it was very helpful for me. Disclaimer: my knowledge of CSS is 2 out of 10 at best, but my personal preference is the semantic way: use header, footer, article tags and use either div’s with semantically name classes (like ‘card’) or React components or web components. If CSS is more complicated as a result of that - I don’t care, there are ways to deal with that (extend, variables, preprocesssors etc). HTML is not the place to be concerned whether your text is green or card has a ribbon.
Logically, the debt would be discharged. Credit card debt is not a protected entity from bankruptcy.

Maybe the CC company could come after you if they did their research?
My heart is really on edge for the folks working on JWST. Decades of work perched atop a giant bomb to get into space, then it's like six months from T-0 on the launch pad to first science images. Errybody going to have ulcers.
You can have many classes. So in your markup you can have an item that is both class article and class bio. Then on another page that is the same but different the class can be article preview.
Then in the CSS you make rules for .article and where bio and preview differs you use .article.bio or .article.preview respectively.

In CSS specific rules overrides general rules. So .article.bio would inherit all .article rules and also override.

I like to start out my style sheet (CSS) by only using the semantic HTML elements like h1, button, etc. Then when the design advances and I go down to the small details - I add more and more specific rules.

The study linked in this comment tree mentions

> The study was also the first to investigate the filtering of very small nanocluster particles down to 1.3 nanometres in size. These are close to being gas molecules, but their filtration properties are different. All of the air filters that were tested effectively removed nanocluster particles smaller than 3 nanometres, which means that particles of this size are unlikely to enter indoor areas.

With HEPA filters being the most effective ones removing "100% of root nanoparticles"
This incident happened 2 times in a distance of a few months, if you would just use logic you can deduce that something is wrong , it is more probable that this 2 pilots forgot how to handle a standard procedure or that things are more complex then you are trying to imply, this could have been avoided if the pilots were informed about the new system and the warring lights would have been made default but doing this would have cost Boeing a lot of money
