My college email forwarding is just my first name. (We got to choose our username and I got in early.) It doesn't really happen any longer but back in the day when a lot of people were not terribly familiar with the new-fangled email thing, I would get fairly regular emails--including some that were probably at least a bit sensitive--addressed to my first name by people who just assumed the email would somehow get to some other person with the same first name.
Not to offer information, I'm just objecting to the stance they seem to make that : "Hey we're solving the 'API' requirement problem' when there really is no problem..

If your backend only communcates with an SPA and nothing else, then yup, this is a good tool for that job.

Great idea but man what a missed missed opportunity on the naming? I do not want to but a phone called librem.
I like that we have a police and I've never committed a crime, but having a police around still makes me nervous since they have a lot of power. CoC's have the same effect, any reasonable person would understand this. They make contributing to a project feel more like a job and less like casual fun, and I don't really see why I would spend my free time doing a job for free.
Having a private school gives a comparison (and hopefully competition) with state schools.

Also, private schools can do better for children with learning difficulties - smaller class size etc.

I say this as a parent with one child in private, and one in public. I'm very happy with both, but each school caters to the individual childs strenghts.

Private schools increase the funding available per-student in public schools.

> make sure all [public] schools have the same amount of funding per student. In other words, target the poverty problem directly

That only addresses one aspect of the problem. None of the other issues measured, or others like the subjective ones you listed would benefit from that.

Why change something that's working well? For profit, that's why. The author is either dumb or invested.
Very interesting read.

Just curious though -- I'd always assumed domes were just a fun sci-fi illustration/trope because they look cool -- not that they were necessarily taken seriously by engineers.

Is the author just responding to that sci-fi concept (same thing as, spaceships don't make a whoosh sound in space), or are there more serious Mars plans that have genuinely proposed domes? I feel like the author isn't quite clear who he's responding to.

Still interesting either way.
Thankfully the regulations saved the public before WeWork could enter the stock exchanges. As long as it stays this way, I really don't care if Saudi Arabia sinks billions of dollars into a turkey like I will sink my teeth into one tonight.
I guess one way to make things equal is to remove opportunities, but that seems like a step backwards.
Because it's harder to justify being the person who raises prices that much, while claiming to "enable the internet for all" or whatever their mission statement is. With the right PR, you can sell out and try and keep a straight face.
How do you route dependencies to the correct service? If you're using a stack then you end up needing to blue-green the whole thing, if you're not then you still need to blue-green the whole dependent subset of the dependency graph.

And for anything exposed outside of the swarm you'd need to use some reverse proxy, since only one service (in the whole swarm) can bind a port at any one time.

Hehe. This is what I basically wondered when someone told me that mindfullness was helping her cope with pressure of work life.

The new decolonization movement in India has been thinking quite deeply about this and other developments where Indian traditional knowledge is taken to the US and then copyrighted, patented and trademarked, and then sold around the world, incl. India. Amusingly, with American marketing being so brilliant, Indian knowledge has in recent history become far more popular once it was "U-turned" in this way. Lots of interesting work being done.

Interestingly, you can also see similar developments as those done to appropriate non-Western mathematical/scientific knowledge in the centuries prior within Europe. Yoga, and Mindfullness are en course to being de-rooted and turned into Western inventions, by rewriting histories or by silencing them. SOAS for instance has one guy who was anointed a Mahant, and he writes books with another guy who says Yoga is a cynical rebranding of Swedish exercises. It's all very very curious.

I suppose, if a foreigner flatters an Indian, he'll give you every bit of wealth he has (and then cry foul later). Hehe.

PHP's value proposition has always been one thing - ease of deployment. Seriously, all you need is one install command, one command to start the services, one to git clone the files and one for certbot. And you have a fully functional deployment ready in a single script that can be deployed at scale.

No other language can even come close.

I want to point out that a lot of these valuations are signed off by well-known accounting firms, valuation firms, and consulting firms. If it's really one big conspiracy to prop up valuations via recent financing, loans, or market comparables, then wouldn't one of these parties call it out (well, inherently a lot of these are paid by organizations to do their valuations, so true independence is a question here).

Additionally, corporate management theoretically exercise due diligence, along with the valuation committees and the board looking into the reasonableness of the models and associated inputs and outputs. It would be awkward to say that these valuations are wrong with so many people having their inputs.
How did you lose it? Did you let the domain expire and fail to renew?

This. Specifically, the mention of Caesar reminded me of the beginning of the Gallic wars, when the Helvetii tried something similar: http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.1.1.html

Spoiler: It did not work out so great for them.

> IMO, the best way to avoid issues like this would be to ban private schools, and make sure all schools have the same amount of funding per student.

Funny you forgot students still get different education resources from home.

When schools are equal, other factors become more significant. I think the next steps are:

- ban private tutoring

- ban zoning, not sure how this is going to work

- ban educational books from the market, so all educational books are equally distributed through public libraries

- wait, parents can still teach their kids. This is not fair. We also need to ban parents from teaching their kids. For an equal society, programmers should not be allowed to teach their kids programming.

- etc.

The generic argument is that people should have an equal start otherwise we're running a Ponzi scheme society.

This doesn't mean that people should have an equal finish though, as if you work harder and smarter, not many would you shouldn't reap the rewards.

I don’t understand how this “sale” is legal in the first place.

PIR is a legal 501(c)3 nonprofit. You can’t really sell a nonprofit to a for-profit company except in unusual and rare circumstances.

In California, I know you need a letter from the state Attorney General to do so.

There are also federal restrictions on sales like this, particularly around self-dealing transactions. This transaction was obviously self dealing.

Someone seriously needs to dig into this. The PIR board members could be in big legal trouble. And also ICANN, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit as well and is subject to self-dealing restrictions.

This is obvious, plain as day corruption. In the business world, not much can be done. But these are two nonprofits (PIR and ICANN), so something can and should be done. These kind of transactions aren’t normally legal.

Like, just read the examples of what an illegal self dealing transaction is in the eyes of the IRS:

https://boardsource.org/resources/private-benefit-private-in...

“Keep Our City Beautiful, a membership organization, plants a city alley with elaborate flowering bushes. The alley is not heavily traveled but the decorations increase the attractiveness of the city’s main restaurant whose owner is a member of the organization.”

ICANN clearly engaged in an illegal self dealing transaction by allowing their former CEO to enrich himself with a deal that would otherwise not be possible.

You know, as I'm going back and trying to come up with specific points, I'm having a hard time.

Partly it's little usability things:

- There was one time when an HTTP request was failing and I couldn't figure out why, and in the Network tab Firefox wouldn't show any information about it, even the request that went out (other than the URL), whereas Chrome not only showed the headers, it surfaced that it was a 404.

- There's no way to view all source files. You have to go to "Style Editor" for stylesheets and "Debugger" for JS files. I'm not sure how to view the other files that were loaded, outside of the Network tab.

- I do enjoy how Chrome's inspector puts the box layout directly above the computed styles, instead of in a separate tab.

Those all feel like nitpicks, though. It could just have more to do with me not being used to it. Maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance and should give it another try.
That's great feedback! I appreciate the detail suggestion. I'll definitely have a close look at this possibility. It makes sense. The only hesitation I have in giving credits is the direct cost I still have per project (because of the human validation layer).

Building extendible hash leaf page–Part III, optimization phase
PE companies are very much in the business of valuing a revenue stream that goes up 10% per year highly. This article doesn't show thinking beyond 10-20 years, but most of the economic value comes even farther in the future. In 50 years, it could be 14000x the current price!

If you plug a 10%-growing revenue stream into a net-present-value formula with a discount rate less than 10%, you get infinity. The future revenue stream has infinite value. Even under reasonable economic uncertainty, you might be able to justify a P/E ratio of 100.

That hedge fund got a sweet deal.

I respectfully disagree, I think there is a massive trickle down economics affect going on even if it’s just local. The auxiliary companies selling into startups is HUGE from recruiting agencies, design firms, the gig economy, local tax revenues, commercial real estate, law and accounting services, one medical offices, and much much more. When VC funding slows down a lot of these places will shutter (because few people in management ever prepare for a downturn).
This is a matter of the situation. For a single statement this can be extremely clear, if the function becomes longer being explicit is nice. And at some length the thing should have a name.

usort($data, fn($l, $r) => $this->foo($l, $r));

vs.

usort($data, function($l, $r) use ($this) { return $this->foo($l, $r); });

vs.

usort($data, [$this, 'foo']);

A lot of those large web properties are going to be using old versions of PHP. Newer versions have breaking changes that make upgrading a large codebase difficult.

To these companies, PHP 7 is a hip new language that they're not using.
It just uses the SendGrid API, I don't run the email server. They have a 100 emails per day on the free plan and while it goes to Updates or Promotions on Gmail, it doesn't get spammed (at least so far).

If it becomes popular, I'd have to upgrade the plan and then you start getting servers with better IP reputations anyway.
What you are talking about is the "action". I don't think that really invalidates my point: good old democracy via voting may not be your preferred mode of political action, but you still need to be informed about issues so that you take action for the right cause, whatever the form of political action you want to take.

Put another way, you need to be informed so that you can engage in lawbreaking and disobedience for the right cause.

Disclaimer: I'm not advocating for lawbreaking or disobedience. What I said above was just for the sake of argument in favour of staying informed.

I am currently working on a web application with two PHP components - one light base application in vanilla PHP, and an administration app driven by the same SQL database using Laravel.

I am having a complete joy building these components, and I find two things to be striking:

My base component does not use a single dependency and it accomplishes a lot! It is really amazing what can be done in PHP with very few lines of code without the help of ANY external libraries, efficiently. I use PDO for connecting to the my SQL database, which is available natively... It can all just be very simple.

On the flip side, my administrative component is driven by Laravel, which yes, took heavy inspiration from Ruby on Rails, but by this point has greatly surpassed it and is very powerful and enjoyable to use.

PHP is the only server side language I would say I have achieved mastery in, so while I am naive to what could be better in X or Y language, I never currently feel held back for what I need to do, and I enjoy doing it.

If you are working in the web niche, what are the reasons not to choose it?

The Related work section in the DF-SLAM paper is great.

As you intuited, DNNs work great for tracking visual landmarks (better than traditional computed features) between frames. They can also estimate depth from a monocular camera, which is very useful.

A more out-of-left-field idea is training a CNN to directly regress the camera pose (position and orientation) from an image:

"The problem is that the way they brought these into institutions was very non-confrontational, very non-oppositional, in order to to get a foot in the door. And so they're working with these other elites in these institutions and over time they became co-opted in my opinion. So by not offering a challenge to these corporate interests, the radical revolutionary potential of these practices have been neutered."

Somehow I have a feeling that this desire for meditation practices to be "radical revolutionary" in terms of political economy is more Californian than traditional Buddhist...
This is an issue of perspective. Similarly, it would mean rich kids mix with poor kids, allowing for more diverse sharing of culture and learning.

Yeah. Maybe it's a failure of imagination on my part but it feels like Twitter pretty much is what Twitter is. It's a broadcast medium for people for whom that has value, which is very useful for some of us and not at all useful for many others. People understandably get up in arms when Twitter tries to make the timeline too heavily sponsored. There's no reason to believe subscriptions would work without tanking the user numbers.

Twitter has actually already made changes that make it more useful for its core audience. Increased character counts etc., for example, has allowed Twitter to essentially replace microblogging--or even short-form blogging generally.
