I don't understand people who are annoyed at Miss America for celebrating beauty. I would understand them if they were upset at the gratuitous nudity [0], but that doesn't even register today - we're saturated with scantly clad people celebrating themselves in public.

Beauty if a gift. I'm a overjoyed if someone tells me my daughter is beautiful, she really is, but I don't let people photograph her, never-mind allow her to be in a pageant. But there's nothing wrong in being beautiful. It's a gift.

Nor does being smart intrinsically make the person worthy. Intelligence is also a gift, a good one, but it hardly makes the holder a good person. So I don't celebrate someone for their academic achievements. Big deal.

Instead I celebrate people who, with their gifts, work for others. Yes, even personal beauty and grace can be used for this purpose (see Audrey Hepburn). A person with a 250 IQ and ten PhDs means nothing to me if they're the re-incarnation of Robert McNamara.

[0] A "little black dress" like Audrey Hepburn's and with her grace is far more revealing of beauty than a bikini. The bikini seems to be about detecting "flaws" like you would a horse at a market.
Why was SCTP selected for WebRTC’s data channel? (2014)
Yes it is you dunce. Boeing? Airbus? IBM? These were all semi-protected entities that enjoyed close ties to their respective governments.

Neo-liberalism needs to be taken out back and shot in the face. It’s a god damn farce.

Free markets are bullshit. China just doesn’t have the long-lived worship of it like we do. Thus, Huawei.
That's the whole point of state support. In the end, you will have a winner that being able not only to copy the technology but also have enough capital to create new one. Which is why Huawei is shining in 5G technologies.
Probably mostly off-topic, but every time I see the words “Go” and
“framework” together in a sentence, I can't help but chuckle. Go is,
idiomatically, a very anti-framework and pro-library language. And
I think that that's a good thing. The closest thing idiomatic Go has to
frameworks are the stdlib's “interface packages” like package image or
package database/sql/driver, which are amazing because they make it
easier to create an actual ecosystem instead of a network of
incompatible frameworks. Anyone who wants to create a “framework” for
go should instead learn from those packages and try to define a set of
interfaces which work together to achieve a goal.
"Or, a Gameboy emulator could load a Gameboy’s CPU and peripherals into the FPGA fabric to “become” a Gameboy rather than emulating it in software."

Basically the holy grail of emulation... Not-emulation.
All of that is also great too, but I find it’s less of a waste to print a dozen of billboards at strategic locations vs. printing hundreds of thousands of newspapers and spam peoples mailboxes.

In Lausanne specifically, those billboards are also works of art in their own right so I do enjoy them.
That would be a 12" deep file drawer, which either do have an interlock, or in a desk side with single file drawer the castor or slide underneath, as mentioned.

The one illustrated isn't deep enough for hanging files -- maybe the odd ream of A4, pens and pencils. Will need an awful lot of carefully placed paperclips and pencils to tip. Which is why you rarely see those locking each other out. If you use it for storing your collection of lead weights you bring it on yourself (the base of the drawer would probably fall through anyway)... :)
The only one of these that isn't going to be overwhelming is, maybe, the chess game.
My industry forbids purchase of Chinese hardware (Lenovo, Huawei, ZTE, etc.) over security concerns. China has targeted various organizations in my industry and this hardware opens the back door wide open for them.
When I wanted to learn hardware programming for a similar small project, I took on online course [1]. It took a few months, but it gave a pretty solid framework to start from.

But there is some delay. The feed from Swedish Artportalen was weekly, when I looked into this some years ago.
That’s well put. Someone recently asked about the integer value of NULL. I had a fever from infection, no one was answer the question and some were downvoting it to gray. “I’m going to regret this...” So I feverishly threw some defines from header files to point out how the answer could be self-serve. Like fucking zombies catching a scent, the pedants crawled out of the walls. Where were y’all eight hours ago?
I guess I'm somewhat confused about the path of this company. From the post, it sounds like they didn't have any process for bra manufacturing at all, even manual one, and barely found anything like that in the end. So then, from the start the company was looking into automatic custom production of something about which they didn't have any knowledge? And the whole thing was essentially a wild shot at research for such production, from next to zero?

I mean, it wasn't my money to spend, but I'm curious as to if it's ‘normal’ now to form a startup while having only a goal and no expertise. That's a dream of every ‘idea man’ out there, including me.
It’s also a bit different when you’re catching up due to interference/imperialism by foreign countries (like the US) in your country’s affairs from the past 100+ years.

Why wouldn’t the state help develop its industries?
Someone’s gotta put up the great surveillance blanket of China
I don't understand why this is written in a complaining or condescending tone. I think it is true for any state that manufacturing be provided protection especially in its infancy. One great thing which China did was to protect their infant industry while simultaneously weeding out non-performers based on global competitiveness. This kind of discipline is really important to build up the skills required to become globally competitive. I think it is better to have regulated free trade first and then open markets once you are competitive. This IMF doctrine on open your freaking markets it is awesome is very stupid. Africa has completely open textile markets, that didn't really work out very well for them.
That is unacceptable, URLs and copy/paste are unnecessarily complicated. Better make those social media sharing buttons instead. ;)

I don't even use Brave, I just wanted to demonstrate the hate against Brave coming from Firefox fanboys.
While there is that, I think also people in the industry didn't know what they had on their hands. While it was new, so was just about everything else about the games. Minds were being blown pretty continually as the gaming industry and computers themselves improved.

There was no way of knowing Silas had basically invented the experience we expect for the entire industry from that point forward.

Mostly, I think it wasn't obvious until the 90's - a full decade later.
That is how language works.
> all those points sound more like quickfixes for bad architecture design.

As an on looker the architecture of TiDB is anything but bad. It doesn't fit into the "run one thing for everything" bucket of software because it's designed to be horizontally scalable. Every part of the design is scoped well enough to only do the bare minimum for it's goal. I have no doubt that internally at Google things like BigTable look very architecturally similar.

> Big mistake going polyglot.

Why? Because you can't make a single binary? That's not really a use case that makes sense for a cloud native DB. Everything is going to be a container anyway, so it doesn't matter what artifacts are included. Also the individual implementation layers of TiDB are individually useful (TiKV).

Making a single binary has no benifits unless you're running your hardware in a pet mentality which manually curated software. In this case a horizontally scalable db will not help you.

Also, providing an operator is a far cry from a "quick fix". I applaud them for doing this because it essentially removes the operation burden of running their DB.
The Soviets weren't the ones conducting the studies I'm talking about. The Chernobyl incident was one of thr most studied industrial disasters of all time, and many Western organizations also studied the disasters and Drew up estimates of the impact. The 6,000 figure I cited above doesn't come from the Soviets Union, it comes from the World Health Organization.

If your reason for trusting on oral history from a private author is distrust incth Soviet Union, you still have to address why this book is more trustworthy than the multitude of of Western studies of the disaster.
DevOps is more future proof (imho). It will expose you to far more technologies, and their interactions, that are much harder to automate away. Low code will disrupt those writing the same code , over and over, for web/mobile full-stack like apps.

That means that you are not a trucker, or airline pilot, or member of another field where you work is so dangerous that the law restricts your working time because working while tired will greatly increase the chance of you killing others.

But that's not the point. The Twitter thread was about people who had to work 12 hours per day in a job they didn't like, in order to support their family. Which isn't what you describe.

In any case, you know that prohibition isn't the only answer, yes?

What would you do if the law said you had to be paid time-and-a-half for 40-50 hours per week, double-time for 50-70 hours per week, triple-time for 70-90 hours, quintuple-time for 90-110 hours, and octuple-time for 110 or more hours?

With a minimum wage of, say, $20/hour?

Would you still not work at that job?
I wish you the best in trying to convince China of this abstraction called 'free markets', when mercantilism is working extremely well for them, as it did for Europe too. Free trade is installed intrastate in the Empire, such as British Empire with its colonies, but even during this era the externality that Empire projected was that of mercantilism such as East India Company adventures in China. As it is clear, 'free trade' is a weapon of the strong, and strong isn't a word to call US or Europe of 2019. Certainly nowhere near strong enough to force China for free trade regiment.

Those folders are normally in the bottom drawer, so it could not tip over very far, the bottom drawer would hit the floor.

Even if there's a top drawer with folders, to open more than one drawer, a bottom one would be open anyway, with the same result.
The 6502 in my Apple IIe was a great learning experience until I fried it trying to generate an NMI. Had to spend $$$ to replace/fix it to the 65c02. I really liked that there were some many useful technical resoures.

Things that bothered me then that still bother me now: the Apple's horrible hi res graphics memory mapping/color implementation, which made it really hard for an inexperienced developer to do high speed line graphics.

In regards to your observation, Husten’s review notes that the study [1] included subjects where the incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is low [2], and given the study’s design flaws, its findings turned out to be largely irrelevant except as a marketing tool with relatively negligible costs for Apple [3].

I don’t know if Mr. Husten is an Apple hater, but it would be more interesting if you challenged his actual arguments including those in the study’s accompanying opinion piece: “The uncomfortable fact is that our personal health data have considerable financial value to those who want to use them in the myriad marketplaces connected to our $3.7 trillion health economy.” [4]

If it's actually just static, S3 + cloudfront unless there's any reason to do anything more. It's a bit of "nobody's been fired for ..." and a bit of "cheap enough to not think about".
I've seen some frameworks for other languages that are actually a collection of libraries and you select the ones that you need. Isn't the same with these Go frameworks?
> the content is interesting but the ROI is low ...

Even mathematicians themselves have had this view, for a long time. The attitude appears to be "hey I'm doing my good calculations here, why should I be messing around with arrows?" Theoretical physicists are now getting involved in this debate aswell. So it's a much bigger complaint than "how is this going to give me better programs?"

I've thought so much about this, I don't really know where to start. The functional programming stuff is nice, but it is only one manifestation of CT ideas. Probably, if you are any good at programming you are already "doing" CT. Anytime you have a class invariant, you are "doing" category theory. The methods are preserving some kind of structure (the class invariant.) And that is the key idea behind OOP. That is what it means to have an object and not just a bucket of data. FP does this too but in a strict way; nothing is mutable.

The revelation of CT is how deep (or wide?) these ideas are, but maybe the only thing you get from this is the satori.
Before World War II people bought their own health insurance. When the US government imposed salary freezes during the war, employers offered benefits such as health insurance to entice potential employees. Those benefits were also tax-free. When the war ended the system stayed in place.

IOW we once had no employer-paid health insurance and we could shift back to such a system. All the same, I would expect a pay raise if it happened.

As per liberal understanding of history and progress, China was supposed to 'open up'(the silent part: to be open for exploitation by West). China was not supposed to become global techno-military challenger against Trans-Atlantic alliance.
Oops, they did.

I don't care about Miss America, let alone whether or not you care.
Could be generational. Odds are, I’ve got ten, twenty or more years on you. To me, it has nothing to do with beauty other than: “this one of your few options as a woman. Better look pretty. And dance or twirl a baton.” And we put it on national TV. It was propaganda, IMO. (I’m probably way overreaching on that one.)

Putting lipstick on that pig with a little “science” doesn’t fool me. The big deal being made kinda drives my point home.
> This isn’t a win for science. It’s the science-washing of one of the most bullshit patriarchal rituals there is.

You seriously cannot ever please some people. Seems things can't just be changed gradually over time to be better; they either have to be radically changed or slashed and burned.

> It is upsetting to me that people still think a woman having interests outside of being poised and beautiful is a revelation worthy of a headline

With journalists and activists always bringing up the issue that there's a disproportionately low number of women in STEM, I don't see how it's not worthy of a headline. After all, you(the author) thought it was big enough of a deal to write your own article complaining about it. I don't think you(the author) actually believe what you're saying here because, if you did, you wouldn't even be paying much attention to it and you'd just allow the issue to die a quiet death.

> We’ve known for ages that women have interests!

And if it weren't the year 2019 your(the author) article could easily be titled "Miss America: Women Have More Interests Than Just Beauty And Grace!"

Why does that even matter, anyway? People can't enter contests and show off their interests?

I reread this article 3 times and I still don't get what exactly this author has a beef with over Miss America besides that it's a "bullshit patriarchal ritual".
Basically this is Elixir's case, so a very narrow instance of what Elixir's pattern matching is. I'd love to see more pattern matching added to Ruby year after year. However adding everything Elixir has probably would require a total rework of the language. Example: multiple method definitions, one per pattern.

I wonder what's going to be the idiomatic way to handle a failed match. Elixir ends the process but there is likely a supervisor to restart it. In the case of Ruby the process ends and there is nothing to restart it. In the case of Rails I expect the web request to fail with a 500 and maybe the next one will get more luck.
The US spends $1 trillion on defense each year. A large component of that money is fuelling the military industrial complex, basically suppoort for the domestic industry. And it isn't just limited to the "classical" military companies. Look up how the CIA helped Oracle.
They might be evil but I highly doubt they would be dumb enough to be putting backdoory security vulns directly in immature open source projects.

That’s not how intelligence agencies work. They hire smart hackers who will hit it further down the pipeline where you would less expect it.

But of course anything from a Chinese state connected company should be viewed skeptically. Let’s just be realistic about how that tends to work.
Same with “Inside Out.” They replaced the broccoli on the plate with other vegetables in Japan because broccoli isn’t coded as something kids are disgusted by over there.
Only matters if you want to work in embedded devices/IoT, operating systems, any other type of systems development or high-performance development, and some segments of game development or games middleware.
I think most people don’t like “statement” art because they inherently understand that it’s much easier to be outrageous than it is to create something of enduring beauty.
Of course he did. All nations make the case for free trade after they have arrived, to pull away the ladder they used to get there.

Schools and colleges should ideally be a place for creativity, free thinkers and open by default.

Using surveillance and improving attendance through fear tactics is not going to help. You will get their physical presence but not their involvement.

I wonder how long it will take for students to start placing check Bluetooth devices in all places they are expected to be present and remotely switch them at desired times. I hope this happens and defeats this unethical forced surveillance by colleges.

Alternatively, I would encourage student counselors spend a little more time with students and assist them to monitor themselves. Motivate the youngsters to better regulate themselves and grow up to be independent and responsible adults.

Note:
On Android, there is an app named Tasker. You can automate your phone with it. Schools could start maintaining shared Tasker profiles that can help students stick to some well defined and commonly followed routines. This is giving control back to the student and coaching them about the merits in planning and sticking to plans.
Sure, when the company is basically free of government leverage. Or, when the country itself not seeking building entire empire using the economy-based influence. This has to be viewed in wide angle. What a communist party is doing is far from strengthen local company to be competitive globally. It's simulating the soviet model using free market as blanket.

> What do you think? Should we use different words?

Maybe it's because I was up until midnight debugging a production problem on Christmas eve, but I can't make myself care much either way. My kneejerk reaction is to say no, because I hesitate to introduce categories without being quite certain of their operational reality.
I'm not entirely sure how ethics play into this.

For full-time work, an employer is expected to pay for your health care. That's how it's supposed to work in the U.S. anyway.

mDNS is an interesting choice for service discovery. Neat idea for local development, but probably not great in production.

I believe most cloud providers don't support multicast, meaning mDNS would not work there. It's also quite slow and/or very chatty in large networks.

Looks there is support for other service discovery mechanisms via plugins, though.
