I was part of an uncredited team interviewed by Meyers for "Effective Modern C++". Always thought ir was somewhat ironic. At the firm (declined acknowledgments because they shun media attention) we werent even using a C++11 compiler on either Linux or Windows at the time. Yet, at least two of the patterns, I recognize as being at least a partial contributor to.

Myself, I lost track of C++ standards changes with C++17, and Ive not been using C++ for the last several years.

I still love the power and speed, but right now I'm dping more ETL work, and Python is a better and more productive language for that.
I was tinkering with it recently. My problem was .. support.

After a lot of double-checking on my part, I was finally convinced that Cloud Run messed things up (in my case: A Content-Type header was changed from ThingsISend to text/html and broke every client). The issue tracker is hard to find and more or less abandoned, SO wasn't helpful (but had people that .. love Google Cloud Run and didn't believe me) and only after tweeting a bit someone looked into it.

The issue is fixed now, which is nice. The way to get there was ... questionable?

Software bugs and proposed changes _are_ accessible only to subject experts, or people keen enough wrt. software to be of above average technological competence.

The only difference is, were the subject matter experts in the domain where GitHub and the likes rule.

At least where I live, court records are accessible to the lay person (after clearing some hurdles). Will anyone look at them aside from lawyers and law students? Probably not...

Greater transparency in lawmaking and governance is always a good thing, though, and most government's don't achieve it to any great extent.
Parallel programming is not hard per se, it's just that there's so much more to learn (compared to "sequential programming"): threads, processes, IPC, messaging, actors, queues, synchronization primitives (mutexes, semaphores, monitors, condition variables, critical sections, atomics... you name it) along with their gotchas, concurrent containers with their limitations, transactions, distributed computing with its performance implications, new design patterns (e.g. async/await, promises and futures). But hey, programming has never been thought of as easy, right? Yet, speaking of having it hard, it may be enlightening to compare software development with having to design a piece of (digital) hardware, where not only much has always been happening "in parallel" but one also must keep taking into account physical characteristics of various parts of the circuit.
That was a really fun time to be a Mac fan attending MacWorld Expos.

Also really frustrating. So a company called PowerComputing was killing it making Mac clones (with the full backing of Apple) and which had a very provocative ad campaign (http://www.streamstudio.com/powercomputing/campaigns.shtml), and here's what happened: The total Mac market was growing, but at the expense of Apple itself, and all the news reported on was Apple itself and its stumbling financials. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at the time. Had they reported on the total Mac market instead, things would have looked stellar, but instead they reported on Apple alone, and this hurt both Apple AND the perception of the Mac market.

And that's when Steve Jobs took all the licenses back.

>I agree with everything you said, but doesn't lending money to the group of people that are less likely to make repayment puts them in a worse place?

Not if loan terms aren't designed to court default, which they often seem to be. Doesn't it seem backwards to require that the people least likely to be able to pay, pay higher interest rates?
I just took kids in Africa as an example of humans who are very far away and struggling. I find it unacceptable when people say that they respect human life, but what they actually respect is a life of their neighbor. If we say that human life has no cost we should be investing in saving more lives over lives of someone who lives close by.

And yes, the structure has everything to do with it.

Using a few old Google accounts, I experimented with Google’s account recovery options and discovered that if a Google account does not have a backup phone number associated with it, Google requires you to have access to the recovery email account OR know the security questions in order to take over an account. However, if a backup phone number is on the account, Google allows you to type in a code from an SMS to the device in lieu of any other information.

Hah, no kidding. For what its worth, I grew up in a family that moved often, and was not technically in-state anywhere. If I had known that my family would also move to Maryland, College Park would have been probably where I would have aimed for. Younger siblings attended there, and with the Maryland scholarships essentially graduated debt free.
Steve Jobs' keynotes were legendary.

MacWorld Expos were legendary (for a time). As a late teen geek demanding to attend some, the energy at those was absolutely palpable, I will never forget it. They also apparently had legendary afterparties, but I was on the cusp of 21 just when the MacWorlds were hitting their stride circa 1992: https://www.macworld.com/article/2833713/remembering-macworl...

I listen mostly for entertainment. I also very rarely just sit an listen to a podcast without doing anything else. I am usually walking/biking/driving/sitting in front of a computer for work or play.
I also don't really have an interest in scripted podcasts. I pretty much exclusively listen to conversation-based podcasts
Then the problem isn't the fd leaking, the problem is that the fd is being closed twice. If SQLite owns that fd then it's obviously no longer owned by the NamedTemporaryFile, so something closed it. So either NamedTemporaryFile is closing an underlying fd twice (that sounds like a horrible Python bug, it should never be allowed) or some piece of code somewhere did one of those horrible "close all fds from 3 to 1024" things at one point, and SQLite then reused an fd that was still assigned to a live File object.
The conversation was about side-projects where it's better to have it shut down than drain the owner's checking account. The alternative being an overloaded web server that becomes unavailable.

Is there any example where a library/framework's creator has the best getting started documentation for learning how to use it?

I'm lazy and not very academic, and I feel like I always end up following a Medium or Hackernoon tutorial and using the official API docs for supplemental reference. I feel like this has been my experience for Flutter, React, ReactNative, Docker. I'm actually curious what folks' favorite 1st party docs are.
Starting a few years ago, all Iowa public university Athletics programs were required to basically have separate finances and not be pulling funds from the rest of the university. It took the University of Northern Iowa a bit longer to achieve, but all three regents universities are successfully not taking money from tuition or normal state funding.

It certainly can be done. Iowa also has a balanced budget provision in its constitution. Not sure if it's in any way related, but it'd be understandable that taxpayers wouldn't want to be pouring money into athletics programs. That's not the primary intent of funding universities.

2019 in review, and three takeaways about startups
Note that Jobs didn’t create Macintosh. Having found himself without a power base within Apple, he looked around for a project and found Jef Raskin working away on creating an information appliance designed for “people first.”

Raskin’s vision was that it be low-cost and emphasize the user experience. But he and Jobs had very different ideas about how to accomplish this. Raskin did not want to create a computer people couldn’t afford, and his ideas for a new user experience were based on things like incremental search, not shipping an expensive (for the time) peripheral like a mouse.

Likewise, a bitmapped display and the cimputing power to make it work added too much cost for the computer to be an appliance in Jef’s mind, so he eschewed the kind of things Apple was doing with LISA, based on Xerox’s Star.

However, Jobs may have lost his power in the boardroom, but he outranked Raskin, and he pushed Raskin out. The Macintosh became another LISA, but without the overhead created by a design team trying to recreate much of the richness of the Star.

The Macintosh that shipped was less expensive than LISA, but certainly not inexpensive enough to be an appliance. They were way more expensive than The PCs of the day, and might well have fizzled had Aldus not shipped PageMaker and created a “killer app” for Macintosh the way VisiCalc created a killer app for early PCs.

The story Apple likes to tell about Jobs creating Macintosh is entertaining, but the backstory is much more educational for those of us working in mid-sized or larger companies, with all of the conflicting requirements, tradeoffs, and yes, politics.

Plenty more of that kind if thing at http://folklore.org/

There’s a collection of stories about Jef Raskin. He was an iconoclast with an insanely focused vision:

I'm quite familiar with deep learning because it's so highly hyped up, but am less familiar with Probabilistic programming and Bayesian methods. So, I have a general question: is anyone using Probabilistic Programming in industry? Have people ditched it for DNNs? Are people taking hybrid approaches to try and mix the two?
> One major limitation of malloc (and even the best implementations like jemalloc and dlmalloc) is that they try to use a single allocator for each data structure.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean, but it’s good to note that malloc will switch between different paths based on the allocation size and what memory it has available to service the request.

IKR? I perform all administrative operations via a solidity contract, hooked up to a permissioned ethereum chain which my computer scans for relevant logs.
Another nice aspect of this is the tooling (Dlls) can be programmed yourself with a .NET language. Ive used the same tooling to build a pre-deploy check for any suspicious DROPs and ALTERs that force manual intervention - it gives you the ability to parse T-SQL exactly how the engine will do it.
> Doesn't it seem backwards to require that the people least likely to be able to pay, pay higher interest rates?

I mean, yes. But on the other hand if the ability to payback the loan (risk of default) isn't taken into account these loans might not exist at all (not necessarily a bad thing). Eventually the risk-adjusted rate hits usury limits and loans start disappearing.

(Of course we still get things like payday loans, credit cards, student loans, etc., but these are legal loopholes that should be closed.)
Given that Tate's sentence was overturned for reasons of mental competency, I think we can safely put that example to bed.
Google knows that when I type 'rails' into their search box I mean Ruby on Rails and gives me relevant results, instead of railroad tracks or hand rails.

It's not a big leap to think they'd do that globally for extreme results like DS where most people want to know about them and not actually visit the site.

Modern concepts of debt seem to incorporate some risk to the lender. That gives some incentive to the lender to only lend to good investments. Student loans don't seem to have that level of risk for the lender.

One of the reasons colleges cost so much is because they can. As long as there is easy debt people will take it. As long as they take it they can pay high tuition fees. If they money dries up collages will have to reduce costs and lower fees.
you can encode any arbitrary information into a one dimensional value....
eg: a large enough number can encode the whole universe....

But decoding any meaningful information has to be at least in two dimensions....

In two dimensions, you can describe everything.... the other dimensions are not needed (and perhaps just emerging, according to the holographic principle)....

> Does this violate the 1st Amendment?

Probably not if applied extremely narrowly. (If you tried to prosecute someone for saying that they had earned the degree but has it revoked for non-payment of debt, it probably would violate the 1A.)

But, more to the point, that would only matter for most practical purposes for bachelor's degrees (and sometimes for more advanced degrees) if the degree was revoked before one had any substantial record of experienced based on it, since beyond entry level positions most positions rely on a pattern of experience to which a bachelor's degree is a typical (though often not exclusive) entryway, not the degree itself.
1GB of storage is a single number with 2^8billion binary digits.

Everything we do in computers is encoding information in long numbers. Every character is a single number, every file is, every disk image is, every state of RAM, every database, every cache, every piece of source code.

Just because they write crappy Python doesn't mean they'd write good shell scripts. For me it indicates the opposite.

Except it is not. The lower class in Chile recently burned subway stations down over a five cent raise in fares. It was the last straw for those people.

That's how I read it as well. Peter Sunde (Pirate Bay founder) has made similar statements about improving copyright: (paraphrasing) All the technical workarounds in the world don't change the fact that certain actions remain illegal, and the only thing that can change that is politics and law.

Steve Hall on LinkedIn: Make Money with High Traffic Keywords
Make money using high traffic keywords!

Keywords are what we use to find what we want!

High Traffic Keywords are what we find when what we are looking for is in demand.

There are also Keywords that have high search volume because lots of people use the same ones.

Keywords that end in near me have tons of traffic because the extension "near me" is easy to use for many reasons, including not knowing the address of the business you are looking for.

Some words for Pizza, such as "pizza near me" have 5,190,000 monthly searches! This kind of keyword will bring wealth to any pizzaria!

Using them on a pizzaria's website will bring lots of business!

I can find similar Keywords for any local Business,...

And how is the prosecution going to prove you intended to default on it?
OK, I found the root cause.

The test harness uses mock to cause NamedTemporaryFile to fail in a few places:

with patch('tempfile._TemporaryFileWrapper') as mock_ntf:
mock_ntf.side_effect = OSError()

Unfortunately tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile is not properly set up to detect failures from tempfile._TemporaryFileWrapper:

try:
file = _io.open(fd, mode, buffering=buffering,
newline=newline, encoding=encoding)
return _TemporaryFileWrapper(file, name, delete)
except BaseException:
_os.unlink(name)
_os.close(fd)
raise

Notice how `file` itself isn't cleaned up in the event that _TemporaryFileWrapper throws; instead, the underlying `fd` is closed directly. If `file` was actually opened correctly, it will now dangle, and some time later `file` will get GCed, attempt to close its fd, and fireworks ensue.

I don't know who's fault this ultimately is, but it does illustrate a possible danger of mock testing when messing with the internals of other libraries.
One would think they wouldn't tag a search engine as a default without consent.
I like this better than "duck it", for whatever reason. Maybe it feels more specific, whereas "duck" could kind of mean anything?
Just want to point out that this is true today in the USA and most developed nations, but there was definitely a time when corporations had armies and navies (e.g. Dutch East India Company times). Corporations, not government, were also the main driver of the Atlantic slave trade.

Of course this was true at the time because of a power vacuum, physical security is a requirement to doing business–at the end of the day someone has to hold the gun.
