Side note, I just noticed that https://godoc.org does not support Go modules with major versions being incremented (e.g., ending in `/v2`). The new pkg.go.dev does but not the existing godoc.org.

This echos some of the other observations of tooling not being easily updated and still not being there, yet.
A 1024-bit break seems like the kind of thing Google would do to show off, like they have with a few other projects. Kind of surprised we haven't seen something along those lines.
The best way is to try and build a web app and learn along the way. Here's the stack I use for all my Haskell web apps:

- Stack to manage the project and dependencies.

- WAI and Warp to construct your own bare bones web app (see https://broch.io/posts/build-your-own-wai-framework/). I don't like frameworks like Yesod or Spock because I like to keep it simple.

- blaze-html (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/blaze-html) for constructing HTML.

- selda (https://selda.link) for PostgreSQL/SQLite interface (it might be too much for beginners, but there's other modules like postgres-simple).

- wai-extra for form/file upload parsing, gzip, and other basic middleware.

- wai-middleware-static for serving static files

- aeson for JSON encoding/decoding

This stack is what I use for building webapps with Haskell. If you're building JSON REST APIs you might want to look into Servant. I haven't used it personally but I hear good things.

I strongly recommend learning the basics of Functors, Applicatives, and Monads before venturing into building applications: See http://adit.io/posts/2013-04-17-functors,_applicatives,_and_... and http://adit.io/posts/2013-06-10-three-useful-monads.html If you know how Functors, Applicatives, and Monads work then you can understand almost everything about Haskell.

Good luck! Feel free to email me if you have questions.

I graduated college 20 years ago; everything I learned in college was new for everyone there (I had prior experience in other languages) and we were approximately 50%-50% male to female. From my former colleagues most males work in IT, most females work in other domains, by choice. It was no pipeline problem at that time, but the results are the same: people tend to do what they like and I don't see here (Eastern Europe) too many females that like CS. We have 80% females in marketing and over 60% in sales, how about forcing some of them to do IT instead?
Right, variance of wait time -- not just the mean -- is definitely a(n anti-)desideratum, for exactly the reason you gave[1]. I don't know how much emphasis academic queueing theory puts on this though.

[1] To put it another way, you can assume entrants plan for the line to take less than the 95th (or whatever) percentile time; the lower you get this figure, they better they can allocate their time for other tasks.
The high infant mortality is largely explained by the fact that the US counts premature birth related deaths as part of infant mortality and other countries don't.

> 5th tier Europe - Good luck! Had some pretty good IPAs in Ireland, and maybe some half decent ones from Britain, but overall the stuff they market as "IPA" tastes wrong, malty and flat.

Ha! Because what you're expecting and looking for is an 'American IPA' (style not origin). The other half are English or Imperial (there is sometimes a technical and sometimes only marketing distinction to be made between the latter two) IPAs.

Personally, the stuff America 'markets as "IPA" tastes wrong" - citrusy and way over-carbonated!

It's unfortunate that they're made to sound so similar in my opinion, they're pretty different styles. Classic IPAs are much closer to other British bitters than they are to 'American IPA' (or to 'IPA' sold in America).

I love how Awk, bc, and dc all DTRT. I wonder what postscript(/Ghostscript?) does.
This is exactly right and why corporate leaders are increasingly focused on diversity as a metric they manage to.

Essentially they have realized that many recruiting and hiring functions are underperforming, in that they are rejecting, or allowing others to reject, talented candidates who they should have hired.

And what they are realizing is that it is much harder than it seems to avoid this kind of error. Which means that even though they can see the opportunity you mention, they're finding that their companies can't seem to seize it.

Generally speaking, everyone involved in hiring is doing their jobs in good faith; there are very few mustache-twirling villains to be found and defeated. But every single person has preferences and biases which, even if essentially harmless on a personal level, can still create significant effects in the aggregate.

So leaders are trying to boot-strap more diverse cultures by managing to the outcome. It's far easier to reward a hiring function for increasing certain metrics of diversity, than tell them something like "be less racist and sexist when hiring." I mean, the vast majority of people would rightly take offense at that kind of guidance from their boss.

The hope is that in the long run, increasing staff diversity produces a broader mix of preferences and biases, which in aggregate reduces the skew against certain talented candidates. As you say: a compounding effect.
"Eleven days later, the company announced that tests by labs it hired had determined that there was no asbestos–other than some contamination it said came from an air conditioner – in samples from the one bottle tested by the FDA and the batch it came from."

Why the hell is there an AC system that is spewing out asbestos particles?
I'd genuinely argue that if the company's worried about that, they should either (a) to disallow personal devices on the internal network, period, or (b) find a management solution that does not involve putting data they do not manage at risk. Just as my personal physical property does not become company property if I am on their physical property, my personal data should not become company data if I am on their network. I understand that segregating data that way may be a hard IT problem, but if they can't do it, the solution should not be "welp, we control your data now."
I wish I could hug you for saying this. I thought I was the crazy one.
The real root of the problem is that there are so many products under its purview that the FDA cannot possibly thoroughly vet them all. Doing serious, in-depth, independent analysis of every product would be fantastically expensive. So instead, the FDA and other agencies (like the FAA) establish standards for the processes manufacturers must follow and they primarily audit the processes rather than the products themselves.

Ok, let's talk about specific issues that cause complaints. Google is a for-profit company, and it answers to shareholders who want to make money. Why would Google not engage in those practices you deem immoral if that's what the shareholders want? I use Google products daily. So for me the question is - does Google need to engage in "partnership with distasteful foreign governments and other corporate immoralities", in order for me to enjoy using its products in the future? Will such activities hurt or help Google in the long run?

Hi omarhaneef,
We don't intend to compete with Tensorflow, PyTorch, SKLearn. What we offer is a way to iterate and productionize your models written using any of the aforementioned libraries (and more). https://docs.metaflow.org/introduction/what-is-metaflow contains further elaboration of our philosophy. Auto-scaling infrastructure is one piece of the puzzle, and Metaflow goes beyond that offering a comprehensive solution for model management.

At one point connexion by boeing was doing some fearsome BGP re-steering to try and get traffic efficient ground station routing. I don't know how they did it (by hand?) or how well it worked, it was anecdata.

I was also told the FAA at one point demanded all aircraft have the same IP and ASN. I suspect thats magnified bullshit but it is an interesting question, what FAA compliance in data services means for certifying a configuration which has to be mutable as you move, as aircraft change lease, as ISPs come and go.
That actually seems like a good defense if true.
Among the cloud providers, this seems to be unique to Amazon. There's a lot of malfeasance that's unique to Amazon, like HQ2 and the counterfeit and offensive products on Amazon.com.

It sucks not being counted as a subscriber or being able to use the emotes, but I prefer that over Amazon taking a cut.
Many developers and entrepreneurs had numerous very bad experiences with the Microsoft of the 1990s-2000s and you're expecting them to just move on like nothing happened?

You can't go through that and not be skeptical.

You can go back and find discussions from when that was first written, but basically it's accepted that the dependency version constraint system of Cargo, Dep, etc. has some real flaws, and Go's module system solves them.
Question answering doesn't replace search, it's a new search use case. People who ask questions want one single answer. It doesn't replace the many existing search use cases (comparing/contrasting items; known-item lookup; problem solving for lazier users w/ fewer keywords)

In fact, while I do notice people doing question answering, users are also exceedingly lazy and want even more out of a search UI with fewer keywords. I just went to an e-commerce search UI and searched for backpack, and got something closer to search-y recommendations targeted around the kinds of backpacks I might want.
Maybe at some point there will be an antitrust lawsuit to unbundle them - and say have compute or storage be provided by a different vendor, all from within their aws management console.
We have a culturally enforced strict rule of moving literally ALL new conversations into a subthread and I absolutely LOVE it. This means that if you want to respond to a comment, you never do it in the channel but in the subthread of _that_ comment.

This means that when you browse the channel itself, each individual line represents a conversation on a specific topic. You can essentially browse the "headlines" of the day all in one screen (for most channels), and if you care to hear more about how Bob resolved his problem with those third party build dependencies then you can view the conversation in the subthread.

This also enables folks to opt-in to notifications for channels, if they so desire, without getting overwhelmed with every new message that comes in.
> “Prop 13 needs to go.“

Prop 13 permitted my grandmother to stay in her home on SS as a widow into her 90s.

Four generations of my family have lived in the Bay Area.

I’ve lived in the Greater NYC/Long Island Area for going on 13 years and it’s a much different story here. Property taxes essentially force retirees to move south. Away from their families, grandchildren and the homes they own, but can’t afford to keep because of high property (plus school taxes).

People here never heard of Prop 13. And why should they? The East Coast is completely different—-older, tighter geographic communities, and years of aging adults moving away from the freezing north.

Before people in CA decide to make Prop 13 the scapegoat, you should look at what property taxes do for all home owners here on the right coast.

And BTW, luxury housing? You said it, ‘turn a profit’. Americans have too much ‘stuff’ to live in the smaller units that would also turn a profit. IMHO

My understanding is that the microphone (& speakers?) isn't wired directly to the modem, but needs the CPU to replay the audio to the modem so that the modem (aka, baseband) doesn't have access to the microphone audio except when it actually needs it. So, I would think that the headphone mic wouldn't work either.
How do you do that on a per-domain basis?

I suppose looking at javascript sources and whitelisting by domain isn't impossible with the UI tools available in Qute but I don't think anything like that currently exists (I've looked around a little).

Still a real ad-blocker would be great, youtube is barely usable these days with three layers of unskippable ads on each video. (although you can work around that /specific/ problem with umpv and a hotkey to launch it: section10 https://qutebrowser.org/FAQ.html )

In this case what is the stronger interpretation? He cites and example of "bias in interviewing" but does not point to any biased action of the interviewers, but rather the fact that they are of a different race, which makes him uncomfortable. The obvious interpretation, that an interview conducted by people of a certain race is inherently biased against him. Calling this "bias in interviewing" also carries the connotation that this is the company's fault and their responsibility to fix. In this case, that they should exclude people from the interview team based on race to reduce interviewee anxiety. If the poster I replied to had only mentioned that he got anxiety around white interviewers without the accusation that this constitutes bias against him I would not have responded that way.

I engage in a specific process for my charitable giving.

I give 10% of my gross income.

I give to small, local organizations that are usually overlooked and are engaged in activities that improve local lives. My donations must be kept confidential (I learned the importance of that the hard way after I did this for the first time!), and I do not give to organizations that ask me for donations. I also take the time to vet organizations, so I can have some confidence that the money will be put to good use.

I started giving when my first business became successful, in recognition of the fact that no business can be successful without substantial support from the community. I consider donating to be a way of repaying my community for that support.

I've never stopped doing this, even when I'm not engaged in my own business. I also donate 10% of my paycheck when working for others, for the same reasons.

I also donate to specific large organizations whose goals are in line with mine (EFF, etc.), but I don't count that as part of the 10%.

Yes, indeed! Especially when paired with an continuously running profiler, one can learn quite a bit about one's code. It's actually rather surprising to me that they have not quite caught on earlier.

> Surfing the internet at 35,000 feet is now something that we expect on flights.

Not only do I not expect this, I actually dread the time when it is ubiquitous and free. Flying is really a unique experience in that it forces you to sit still, disconnect and entertain yourself for a substantial period. This has a meditative element for me: I have time to not be updated, to gaze, to talk to strangers, to be bored... All the things people used to do in the long long ago. It gives flying a kind of sublime quality because it prepares me mentally for arriving at a completely different place than the one I left. It's not just a continuous Instagram fueled frenzy like any other day. Of course I can choose to not use my phone/internet at any time, but it's so much harder that it loses its entire allure: Instead of just disengaging I'm constantly fighting the urge and telling myself "No!". Once it's available on board I won't be able to resist.

Talk to anyone who has worked with someone who graduated from Mudd and they’ll agree.

Which is why they're creating separate tracks rather than trying to cram everyone into one class.

The people with prior experience can take classes that are suited for their level, and will be challenged rather than bored and resentful of their classmates.

The people without prior experience can ALSO take classes that are suited for their level, and will be challenged rather than intimidated and condescended to by their classmates.Once they have some experience, they can move on to the other classes.

It's a win win for everyone, including the people who through whatever luck or drive have experience before they enter the system. Remember, not everyone has the same access to things like books, computers, and programming classes in earlier environments like high school. Making an actually introductory path helps level the playing field without lowering the bar.
I agree with your statement, but I'd say that at least Google has been advancing their machine learning/AI front under Sundar. But that's about it. You can clearly pinpoint the moment Google started going downhill the moment he took over, whether this has been the result of his leadership or due to the Alphabet restructuring, I don't know.
Probably not. Lots of abnormal things aren't viscerally horrifying and I'd expect something with a strong evolutionary basis like avoidance of disease to be much more widespread than trypophobia. Such as, for example, the nearly universal dislike of the taste and smell of rotting meat.

You misunderstood my comment. I said "why discourage them?", not "push them to become programmers". The parent I was responding to made it seem like he/she would want to actively steer their daughter away from programming because of the workplace conditions. But what if their daughter really likes software/tech? You don't want to push her to some other career just because of how you feel about it, she can decide for herself. Software work isn't a lost cause either, it just needs some sanity injected into it, it isn't coal mining or fracking after all.
