there's no choice. that's where all the jobs are.

software companies were incentivized to go to SF many years ago by the mayor/tax breaks then, which seems kinda corrupt, or at least misrepresenting the will of the people: most SF residents don't want tech companies there in the first place.
I don't see how it's a requirement to allow politicians to lie. For instance, both Twitter and Google now prohibit political advertisement entirely. Facebook could follow suit. They'd just make less money.
Depends on which business. You're correct for businesses who invest heavily in their brand and have just one domain. But you're very wrong for businesses that have a lot of domains and use the domain for credibility. E.g., spammers, typo-squatters, fraudsters, fly-by-night retailers, etc. And it's those that will really bring down the value of the TLD.
There is absolutely no sourcing for research showing women being inherently or unfixably uninterested in computer science. None. He had a bunch of links to studies about bland stuff like personality differences, using them to make arguments the study authors never indended and (where asked) refused to support.

Calling that "sourcing" is essentially trying to treat Damore's fundamentally political document as an original piece of social science research.

I would love to have tooling for what AWS consider an IO/OP, I've read the documentation quite a few times and I think I get it, basically every 256 kb read or reads under that but at what level of the stack is that considered from. I tried to find metrics/tools of how to count it as AWS counts but couldn't really find much.

The reason being I have a library that reads a file in an x-size buffer along a file iteratively using bufio in go, and I'm not exactly sure what optimizations are happening that I can't see, and at some points I'm incrementing a file a byte at a time, thats by definition an IO/OP I think (super inefficient). Unfortunately a lot of the cloud metrics don't give you enough granularity or quick feedback to optimize.
Was this a LG C9 OLED tv? Just curious in how much better and in what way is the Apple TV to the native app. I haven't had any issues afaik. But I haven't used the Apple TV 4k before either, so I guess I wouldn't know if I'm experiencing subpar quality.
What is going on with the URL? Also this user submitted something along this RSA-240 factoring twice. Seems really phishy that they're using a .exe in the url.

Headless chrome / firefox doesn't work here, since I need to run Selenium on the server and that's the most obvious overhead because any browser, even in a headless mode consumes RAM. This becomes even more critical if you need to process more than 100 images per minute :|

At a certain point during Chapter 11 the title of the company seemingly changes to "ABC co, debtor in possession" and that goes on the checks, and those checks don't get honored as much. I believe this status is not permanent. The worker's unpaid vacation time becomes a debt and you don't end up with much of that debt paid off. I joined a company that was in Chapter 11 and none of this affected me adversely, so I think this is a passing phase, but it would not be fun for the long-time employees.
It’s easy to take this stance in a rich country. But what about the people in countries where one of these books cost the equivalent of a year’s wages. Not so black and white eh?
Code review is not linter. Code review is a chance to discuss design, scaling, trade-offs and mentor others.

> False. False. False. The US has no responsibility, they own it.

They own it and share it, they get control and everyone else gets a service, the moment they abuse their control, everyone else will stop their dependence on it. that means they have a responsibility to keep this balance or lose control of it.

> Good luck, there's plenty of software in Europe with hardcoded URLs, and there's no chance of getting operating systems in Europe, which are contributed to almost exclusively by US companies, to switch their DNS over to something that isn't ICANN-controlled.

legacy systems are mainly an issues for hospitals, and if necessary, the governments (who pays for these hospitals anyway) would afford a switch. the US is more vulnerable for something like this since their hospitals are private.

> The US has performed coups on foreign countries at least a dozen times. Other countries won't do a thing, as is shown by historical precedent.

the US performs coups in third-world countries struggling with stability. they have never attempted a coup in a well organized country with strong ties.

> Neither of those run their own DNS, they leech off of ICANN, and occasionally block things or modify records. Were ICANN to disappear, both would be in disarray.

both of these are building their own as we speak. for the very reason we're having this argument.
In briefly skimming this, the things that standout to me are:

1. Almost every single moment is accounted for. There is very little slack or break times baked into the schedule.

2. It seems like there is a high percentage of time spent on ceremonial activities and photo shoots. Perhaps this is to be expected.

3. It might be an interesting ML project to try to classify time of presidential schedules and compare how that allocation various across presidents, during recessions versus expansions, during wartime versus peacetime, etc.
And how different is it when US companies like Facebook and Google send Chinese user data to the US?

Prometheus storage: tech terms for humans
I'm apparently out of the loop w.r.t. non-solid state storage. For people in the same boat:

Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) is a magnetic storage data recording technology used in hard disk drives (HDDs) to increase storage density and overall per-drive storage capacity ... The overlapping-tracks architecture may slow down the writing process since writing to one track overwrites adjacent tracks, and requires them to be rewritten as well.

SonarQube does as well. I've been shocked at some of the analysis it does.
I totally respect that. I also know that many (most) aren’t like that. There are a variety of reasons like some not having time. What can they do? The experience for those is often more time consuming than in the past. This decreases their productivity and happiness with the tooling.
If I understand right, they support multiple incompatible versions being used at once via major version upgrades.

What they aren’t supporting is incompatible dependencies being incorrectly advertised as compatible, then being worked around by other dependencies testing against those versions and explicitly marking them as incompatible, in cases where dependencies have a shared dependency with different requirements.

Instead it looks like they are trying to solve this problem outside of the dependency manager, by putting a lot of emphasis on preserving backwards compatibility within major versions being the correct Go practice (and probably also hoping that edge cases get fixed quickly in a collaborative way, since everyone is on the same system).

How well this approach will work relatively in practice seems to depend more on the behavior of library authors than any technical factor, without knowing that it seems hard to say that either is obviously superior.
It definitely is. Automation is the end game. Devs are expensive and error prone.

Ask the Python pipenv people. Take a look at their GitHub issues.

> The naive exponential algorithm is fine (…)

Define “fine”. In my experience, Go with modules[1] solves a project's
dependencies exponentially more quickly than dep. And that is
especially noticeable on big projects with three or more dozens of
dependencies. I don't mean any disrespect to the people behind dep, and
the whole debacle was a massive miscommunication disaster, but go mod is
just quicker.

[1] While we're at it, I'm still low-key mad that the Go authors called
modules packages and packages modules. Gah!

Oh well, back to work.
TL;DR: The "other quid pro quo" is giving out ambassadorships to campaign contributors.

I tend to agree that this is an obnoxious practice that should be ended. However, in Trump's defense (ugh, there's a phrase I hate writing), it should be noted that this has been a practice of presidents from both parties for approximately forever. The article indicates that he does it slightly more often than his predecessors, but the moral difference between "sold 45% of ambassadorships" and "sold 30% of ambassadorships" is not large.

It's also worth noting that the ambassadorships given out to these clowns are nearly always completely insignificant ones, typically ones to small countries with pleasant climates. American foreign policy is not going to succeed or fail based on who is the Ambassador to the Bahamas. And in other cases where the diplomatic relationship is actually significant, like the ambassadorships to Israel and the UK, the heads of state of both nations are typically in such regular direct contact as to render the ambassador more or less ornamental.

Really the take-away here is that it's not clear what the actual function of an ambassador in the modern age is. When it could take weeks or months for a letter sent from one capital to reach another, having "our man in [insert capital here]" be someone who could reliably think on his feet was crucial. Today, when world leaders can reach each other directly in seconds via phone or text or tweet, who happens to sit in an ambassador's chair matters much less.
The MSM in the US is almost entirely corrupt. It's proven time and time again that it will push agendas, hide facts, kill stories, make things up...

If you doubt what I say I suggest you spend some time looking into MSM coverage of Epstein and Weinstein. Just recently it was leaked that ABC news killed an Epstein story for political reasons then tracked the whistleblower down at their new job at CBS and got CBS to fire them.

I suggest reading Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill to get an accurate take on the current state of journalism:

I feel like they got very little, since they focused so much effort demonizing this calendar watching. I can understand when they say that you shouldn't share photographs of others calendars or harass them over calendars, but I don't see why viewing others calendars is a bad thing itself. It is kinda like looking at their code or commits, you can see what they do and how they work, it is very useful if you intend to transfer or just wonder how other teams are doing things.
Only if CodeGuru gets a lot of the value of a code review. But I think finding actual bugs is a pretty small of it.

A good code base is a team-created intellectual work. For that to happen, you need a ton of collaboration, shared learning, evolution of norms, interpersonal bonding, and practice of key social behaviors (e.g., principled negotiation, giving good feedback, recognizing and rewarding good actions). Automated code review gets at none of that.

No, and this is supported by the timing. PIA made the inaccurate (and now withdrawn) allegations in July. Mozilla was aware of the allegations, visited Proton in Geneva, looked into said allegations, and announced the Proton partnership in October.

Proton doesn't support Wireguard which is the protocol Mozilla wanted to use. This was a conscious decision because Wireguard is UDP only, which poses a significant problem for many Proton users which are based in countries with strict censorship and UDP VPN protocols are easier to block. Therefore, Proton's VPN focus has shifted to working on TCP based solutions which can resist DPI.

While Proton and Mozilla's VPN focuses have diverged, there is still collaborations and discussions in other areas. For example, Thunderbird is integrating Enigmail, which is based upon the OpenPGPjs library that Proton maintains.

Proton and Mozilla have similar missions, and will continue to support each other in the future.
This is a great feature to add. Something that Elastic should've created a long time ago.

Interesting how well AWS is adding features on top of open-source in competition with the original vendor now.
I'd be very surprised if the service they've announced is a linter.

The announcement says it can even analyze parts your code that are more computationally expensive than they need to be. I'm not sure I understand the skepticism--surely they have among the largest code repositories in the world. Why couldn't they train models on it to look at best practices and even compare code practices to different metrics.
> The news has become so bad today so every news source is basically fake news. In my country for example, the national television is so obviously biased it's ridicolous.

Bias and fake news are two separate things. Every news source will be biased and it is impossible to separate the bias from the reporters, editors, or any humans involved in presenting the news. Bias is favoring one side over another, leaving out facts that hurt your case etc.

Fake News is an entirely different thing. Fake News is making up real-looking websites that claim Elon Musk is running as a Libertarian candidate for 2020.

BBC has had a few incidents lately which screamed 'fake news!' to me too. So I totally get where you're coming from. But conflating bias with fake news has hurt trust in the media more than the actual fake news itself. And that's the actual reason for spreading fake news. Because I'm fairly certain you wouldn't believe in outright conspiracy theories. But if you start to treat actual news sources like AP or Reuters just like fake random-city-ledger.com websites, then the fake news sites are succeeding.

Personally, I look for motivations regardless of the source of media - who benefits from this story if it was true vs. false? Is Bernie really going to charge 95% tax to everyone making 100k or above? If it's remotely true, then obviously it would hurt everyone who works hard. However, if that story is false, which it most likely is, who does that benefit?

Requiring an active virtual environment for pip
I think at least 1/10 should fail with assets at least partially insufficient to cover. So going bellow 5-10% above government bonds says something very odd about the market.

(I think in past markets most companies in this class would have to sell stock since 20% will do very well and 10% fail so no one would accept the downside at a reasonable bond rate. The market is confused by the low underlying rate which IMO means the end of expansion to new markets, hence the disruptive only nature of the current market.)
Also, at 100 searches a day that's 6.25 searches per hour, if they're spread evenly over a 16 hour waking period. Who makes that many searches?!

Could you elaborate on what of ES becomes so costly? I see it alludes to it in the article but I'm in the dark honestly. Is it the storage of the data since it mentions S3? Is it memory bound or CPU bound?
As you can see the number is going up. I would also be careful with the HUD data as it is based on a yearly count conducted of shelters in January [1]. Counting homeless people is tricky as only 10% are on the street and the methods used to estimate populations are fairly unsophisticated.

From the same surveys it's fairly clear in recent years homeless populations are rising if you look at exhibit 2.5 on page 25. [2]. Worse transitional housing is being replaced with shelter beds meaning those who are homeless are more likely to stay so.

I also should be clear looking big picture like this misses details. Things like Los Angeles's homeless population increasing by 16% [3] and a 5% rise in Seattle [4] and similarly Vancouver [5]. All of these cities have great GDP growth. Experts across the political spectrum are fairly consistent that the cause is related to affordable housing.

Now I can't make you change your mind about something you want to believe, but when you really engage with what's going on suggesting causality between GDP and homelessness is a very shallow superficial analysis. I think the data makes a pretty clear of what's going on. I'd encourage you no matter what position you choose to take to really engage with the details.

The argument is: because of 2), less women enter the pipeline that leads to a job that's less social and more about things, relative to other occupations, therefore 1).

2) is presented here as a plausible explanation of 1). The connection is very clear, so the validity of that view depends entirely on the validity of point 2) itself. Damore presented a boatload of links to research supporting that point, and plenty of other people did too. See e.g. SSC's take on it here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagge....

Now one big aspect of the whole drama is that 2) is being rejected out of hand as offensive wrongthink. The concept that men and women may have different interests is considered sexist, and instead a narrative of systemic oppression is proposed. Another big issue with the memo is that a lot of people couldn't - and a lot still can't - understand the fundamental concept that you cannot take population-level statistics and use them to pass judgements on individuals. Just because a certain population doesn't like X on average, does not mean that a particular member of that population currently doing X is somehow wrong or unsuitable because of that. Damore didn't make this mistake, but was widely accused of it (and from what I remember from reading the memo two years ago, he repeatedly warned the readers against making this mistake).
No one doubts there are serious problems here and there, but "almost entirely corrupt" is hyperbole. Everything is imperfect and can be improved, but that doesn't mean you need to throw the whole thing out and start from scratch, in most cases.

I still use it, because Freenode is an amazing resource.

The fact that matrix/discord/slack are becoming more common in open source projects makes a bit sad, matrix a little less so but still. Matrix is neat in its idea of federating without having to trust other matrix servers, but the protocol is less than friendly in many ways. Its not nearly as simple as the REST JSON API the docs espouse. If its any indication of complexity there's really only one defacto matrix server implementation, there's dozens of IRC implementations. Client implementations are a little more abundant but with a wide array of feature support.
