None of those things are true.

For example for a rest service, https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/ has everything you need to get started. A simple pom with a few dependencies, and a main class that invokes SpringApplication.run. You can just invoke this main class from your IDE like any other java application.
Interesting take! I know a bunch of people who don't like to play games because they think it's stressful and put too much pressure on themselves to win, therefore games aren't "relaxing." But I always think playing with people who are better than you make you smarter even if you're losing. And though it all, at least you're still learning and bonding.

I am also curious about that limitation.
I tried the lib with a 10 mins audio and it gave me some unrelated words but when I tried a short clip of 20 seconds, it was able transcribe it properly. I think I have to dig deeper to know what caused this behaviour.
This could be a game changer, I did not know this!!! I will look at that today, thank you so much for the tip!
If Blizzard can be panned for its enterprise-style move to strip winnings from pro-HK messaging tournament winner in order to better ameliorate itself to a large potential consumer base, why isn’t GitHub allowed to be panned for its enterprise moves in pursuing sales with an organization that is embroiled in political scandal?

Yes. Immigration enforcement is a legitimate government function.
ISPs aren't political for allowing you to visit Trump's website.

They would become political the minute they make a choice of who can visit which site. Providing services to an organization is not political at all. The NRA or Chineese government using Windows does not make Microsoft political (for that reason).
GitHub cannot let that happen. It opens a Pandora’s box.

If they are successful here, the activists will not declare “mission accomplished”. Nope. They will then search for other contracts to be cancelled. And then there will be infighting as to why one should remain and another cancelled as disagreements mount.

Don’t get into politics when you’re providing enterprise services. Stay away from it as far as you can.
> Yes, the next generation will vote Democrat, due to America's birthright citizen situation

The next generation will vote Democrat if the opposition continues to make absolutely no effort to appeal to the next generation. Don't blame birthright citizenship for bad politics.
“Martinis are the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet.”

Yes, they are (assuming the words are actually chosen at random).

The idea of "correcthorsebatterystaple-style" passwords is to randomly choose 4 words from a pool of about 2000 words. That gives about 11 bits of entropy per word, for a total of 44 bits.

With a 2-word "keyboard encryption", even if you choose the two words the same way, you only get 24 bits of entropy: 22 bits for the words plus 2 more bits for the choice of which direction to shift (up/down/left/right = 4 options = 2 bits).
at ~9km resolution they may be accurate but I doubt you can plan things down to the minute or even have any certainty of what weather conditions to expect near shore where terrain will greatly affect the flow of 10m winds. also Windy only works over a strong network connection so during actual passages it isn't really that helpful (compared wx gribs which can typically be downloaded over ham radio)

All that being said, Windy is an amazing product, and definitely a boon for visualizing model data and making that accessible to anyone with a decent internet connection!

I agree with everything you say, but presumably those in charge of the WMF believe their goals to be of sufficient importance, so arguing to them that they shouldn't spend money on those goals is silly, but one should rather couch things in terms of how best to achieve those goals.
I'm working on building something like this for myself actually. I'm just curious, what would you hope to get out of a replacement tool?
Seriously, is html performance a real issue? Mobile traffic keeps growiong and growing and growing, according to google, who now crawls most sites mobile-first! Phones have 4 cores and download 300-MB games daily. There is absolutely no need for this abomination. If it cared, google could threaten to derank slow sites for slow phones and the average website size would be slashed to half in a week!

Injecting and executing code inside an unprivileged process is not very useful.
I’m also non-American, but my ex is an American who campaigns against ICE. Her memes state that the problems with ICE are the conditions that refugees are held in, and that they separate children from their families. She also states that ICE target people based on skin colour even when their targets are e.g. citizens of the USA.

She is also of the opinion that the cause of the refugees seeking refuge is the bad behaviour of the Americans government, and she fundamentally opposes borders.

As I’m neither American nor a resident of America, I cannot vouch for how accurate her beliefs are, only that those are her beliefs.

Edit:

Just remembered, she went to one of the child detention facilities as part of her campaign support efforts in… I think it was the most recent California governor’s election? So she’s probably quite justified in her beliefs.

What's wrong with boilerplate if it works?
Oh, that makes sense, although I'm not sure "1000.0 kB" is strictly wrong in this case.

With the loop at least it's easy to adjust the thresholds if that is desirable, although a comment will be necessary to explain why you are making the cutoffs in weird places.

Interestingly enough in the past I've used a loop similar to this:

static char suffix[] = { ' ', 'k', 'm', 'g', 't' };
magnitude = 0;
while ( value > 1000 )
{
value /= 1000;
magnitude++;
}
printf("%.1f%cB", value, suffix[magnitude]);

Which is bad because it's subject to repeated rounding from the division, but avoids the problem you described.
even if all these things go against the wishes of the people? doesn't sound very democratic. you could always try building your anti capitalist utopia in a socialist country, although i feel like the dismantling of borders will be redundant because no one will ever want to go there.
You install first in your Kubernetes cluster a project build by one of the k8s SIGs called Service Catalog that is capable to connect multiple different brokers into one service offering.

And you can start consuming and manage services exposed through the helm broker, so all the different helm charts that you've bundled into a special package that is compatible with OSBAPI. Here is an example of such packaged helm chart that later on is visible in the catalog https://github.com/kyma-project/addons/tree/master/addons/re...
If ICE simply did their job in a humane but effective fashion, I think conversation around the agency would be far different.

However, the agency has - in the course of their duties - committed horrible acts that fly in the face of what Americans claim to value. They continue to do so, and the "Dear Github" letter linked in the article outlines them: https://github.com/drop-ice/dear-github-2.0/

The problem isn't simply that they're enforcing immigration law. It's _how_ they're doing it.

> I sometimes wonder if IDE users realize you can do 99.9% of the same things with simple tools

I'd really like you to show me how you can refactor e.g. a method called "write" in a 500+kloc codebase in less than 5 seconds with "simple tools". With any C++ ide from the last decade it's basically a keyboard shortcut + typing the new name + fixing the few remaining compilation errors that may have cropped up in generic code.
With sed & al ? good luck, see you in a few weeks.
I do most of my ruby work in rubymine. I use it not so much for the IDE tools like refactoring etc, but because I can use it to condense multiple bash sessions into a single UI. I also use pycharm and IDEA, and certainly in IDEA's case I use it primarily because it's the best-in-class Java IDE.

Yes, it was a huge issue and many websites were unusable on anything but an expensive iPhone for a long time. Especially a few years back.

While this might not be a problem with most Apple-toting frontend engineers, most people of the world can't afford to constantly pay for very expensive phones just to browse the web. And until AMP there just wasn't a way to make anyone care it seems. Even here on HN.

Just to be clear: I dislike AMP. But I dislike the crap attitude towards users the web developers have shown time and time again more.
The original recipe is, sure. But part of the fun of cocktails is experimenting with what tastes you prefer. The parent said they weren't enjoying what they ended up with, so I'm recommending tweaks. A little extra gin is a pretty standard way to make the campari more palatable, used in plenty of bars.
"> Whether it should be possible to be arbitrarily rich is another question.

You were so close to getting it, what happened to you?"

There is a difference between limiting how rich anybody can get, and taking everything away from families if the head of family dies.

"Hey, person who can barely make it to get by and spends all of their income on subsistence-level living, why don't you just get more capital?"

How many such people even exist? If you barely make it, you should aim to improve your situation. Try to find a better job, try to learn skills that enable you to get a better job, and so on. Few people are really doomed to such a situation forever. And those who are, usually because of illness, need charitable help or insurance. It's a separate problem.

"everyone should be given a fair chance to make it--but what is fair, how is this decided, who enforces it?"

Well who do you want to decide what is fair?

I think markets are the best mechanism to establish fair prices. Other than that, you can establish some baseline - access to housing, food and education, so that people can try to make something out of their lives. It can be discussed. But certainly it doesn't mean fair has to be everybody has to have the exact same starting positions. It is not even possible, because not all parents are the same. If your parent is Paul Graham and he teaches you programming, you already have an advantage against other kids, even without economic resources.

"So it's perfectly acceptable when Coca Cola sends death squads to kill labor organizers."

Obviously not. I think you are being silly here. Basic laws still apply.
The ius.io repo that I mentioned patches the version of Python. What it lets you do is you can install any major version you want (in fact you can install multiple at the same time and they won't conflict).

So you can chose whether you want python 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x or maybe still you want 2.7.x.

I agree with this as well. I feel like the OS should require apps to specify which domains they'll connect to and they should be allowed to only to connect to those domains. Yes you should be able to specify all domains like if you're making Firefox but otherwise it should be looked on with huge suspicion to list more than a couple. As it is any app/install script/build and scan my local network, find out my SSIDs, tell what devices are connected to my lan, which ports are open, what software is on some of those ports, and of course exploit any known vulnerabilities.

I have a guest WiFi partly for that reason so when guest come over their apps hopefully can't hack stuff on my non-guest network. Unfortunately every new game/app/dep I install on my phone/pc/mac/tv/appletv/ps4/switch can still do that and while I might trust the app devs I don't trust the library devs, especially the analytics libs compiled into every game.
This is my development stack, vim is my text editor with some minor modern features using plugins and tmux lets me tile into any other command line tool that is best for the job.

Yeah, Google is far better at location-aware searches. To be honest most of those are usually done in Google Maps (sigh.. please somebody make a decent Google Maps alternative!) anyway, so it's not really an issue.

Look at the sales figured for the 757 - sales were either flat or very slow from 2001 onward.

Boeing stopped making the plane because the situations that led to its existence evaporated, and it looked as if there would never be more demand again, and the world seemed to be trending to 737 size aircraft in ever increasing numbers.
Renewals often come with a discount during negotiations. There's no way to known what the motives were. A large media company I worked for had a large discount, it was business not them supporting the liberal left media.

Taiwan Looks to Win Back Friends by Standing Up to Beijing
That's pretty offensive statement. They aren't concentration camps, they are holding facilities. These people traveled there willingly. Those that were dragged are children, and they were brought by adults who may not even be their parents.

The conditions and provisions those children are getting in those buildings are better than what they would be getting in the desert and with the adults they came with.

1/3 girls dragged across the border are raped.

You can't be mad at the building but be complacent with the root of the problem.

” Providing a service to a any political entity is considered taking a stance?”

I use duckduckgo with Firefox so I never see any AMP website and it works fine. Firefox allows you to have an ad-blocker though so it makes a difference.

>Airlines receive only about 60% of their revenue from passengers directly (the other 40% comes from selling frequent-flier miles to credit card companies). But of that 60% of passenger consumer revenue, the big money comes from business travelers – as opposed to those flying for leisure or personal reasons – in percentages that far outweigh their numbers. Business travelers account for 12% percent of airlines' passengers, but they are typically twice as profitable. In fact, on some flights, business passengers represent 75% of an airline's profits.

https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/041315/how-much-rev...

I think that video conferencing and collaboration technologies have already curtailed business travel, the most profitable part of the airline business.

The high volume in terms of passenger numbers is dominated by leisure travel. Video conferencing is unlikely to affect this (although the family did a Hangout at Thanksgiving), but it might be affected by stronger environmental campaigns or by a significant economic downturn. In fact, I think an economic downturn could cause a fairly steep drop in leisure air travel.

Having a problem so bad that you develop a good solution? That's the opposite of a feature.
Yes. A news site, any news site, around 2014 would just smash my phone, making it completely unusable.

The page load would just be completely unpredictable. You start reading something and then it would fly down 2 pages and then up half a page because some asset container would load but then change its ideas of how much space it would need. Then you'd touch to scroll to continue reading and it would register as a tap and open up the ad.

Then the js hell would make the phone unusable, it felt like the people that wrote late 90s windows malware went into the business of making local news websites. it was complete and utter trash.
It's almost like the customers love hazy ipas, and breweries do gangbusters selling them.

There are a few pilsner/lager breweries but they have to be so much better at their styles and are still missing out on a large portion of the market.

Specialized sour breweries exist and do somewhat well, but the market is limited and the product takes years to age.
The CIA doesn't feed or perform as a part of the United States Justice system (parallel construction or the occasional slip aside).

Therefore, using it as a argument for why due process is only restricted to a certain group is a bit of a non-sequitur. A case against a foreign person still has to be conducted through proper channels, either with Constitutional protections in force if the U.S. has ultimate jurisdiction, or through diplomatic channels to ensure conformance with whatever other country considers due process or actionable if the U.S. doesn't have ultimate jurisdiction. This doesn't really negate the GP's point in the way you may have been intending to.
Feedly and Gmail drop the entire menu down below the control. You're right, those kind of custom menus work fine. Note that the currently selected item is still always shown within the custom control.

I don't know specifically which ones might apply to iPhone, but there are laws in the field I work in where radios cannot be operated near designated airfields or offshore, forcing us to add GPS when we would otherwise not have. This would also be consistent with reports saying this only occurs on the newest iPhones that have additional radios than before like ultra-wideband. There are other laws like E911 reporting which may also apply.

Now regarding why there isn't a more concrete explanation from Apple: Krebs might have published before Apple was willing to make a statement; Apple may not want to commit to this being the only use of location outside a user's explicit control in system services; or Apple might believe uses like this are fine for the system because they aren't harvesting data off-device, and they want to continue having this ability.

Since the global location services switch works as you'd expect, I think there are a lot of good faith cases to be made for Apple here. Given their secrecy, we won't know for sure, but their statement seemed to suggest that they were confident this was an acceptable use.

Couldn't agree more, and I feel like I've spent half my career tilting at windmills trying to get other engineers to use less abstraction, instead of more.

I can't count the number of C#/Java projects I've walked into where it felt like I had to drill down through a dozen layers of abstraction just to find code that actually does something. Hundreds (thousands?) of files that contain nothing but autogenerated boilerplate crap.

Layers upon layers of boilerplate, "just in case we need to swap something out later!" No. I promise you, you won't. And if you do, I promise you things aren't as loosely coupled as you think they are. You're going to have to do a bunch of rewriting anyway.

Also, 9 times out of 10, by the time you realize some seemingly interchangeable piece of your architecture needs to be replaced, your team will be chomping at the bit to blow the whole thing up and rewrite from the ground up anyway.

In the meantime, having a simple codebase that people actually enjoy working in will make everyone's job so much easier. And fun.
The main point is clear. The way that Github, a big, influential tech company owned by an even bigger more influential tech company, decides to align itself with ICE, is inherently political, regardless of "how enterprise sales works."
It’s because people don’t see the 10% as a lot. They go: $10 to $11 is nothing without realizing that it compounds. Try it yourself: pow(1.1 [110%], 7.27) ≈ 2. Every eight years, the price will have more than doubled.

Ok, $10 to $20 isn’t a lot. But what about 3 decades down the line? That’s now $174. You maybe could afford the $10 (maybe even $40), but could you afford to pay that every year?
OOP exists exactly to solve problems where abstraction is appropriate. So obviously it's going to be implicated in cases of over-abstraction.

It's kind of like how cars are implicated in traffic problems. Everywhere you have heavy traffic, you'll find cars.
