I'm a big fan of the "fire and motion" concept of dev social paradigm.

The idea is that devs and large companies have a tendency to constantly move away from tried and tested concepts not because the juice is genuinely worth the squeeze, but because doing so forces the devs "in their dust" back into learning mode and out of productivity mode, thereby maintaining or creating leadership over them (i.e. you force them into playing catchup -- catchup to your new "hot" thing).

Case in point with this article: an attempt to declare that a tried and tested and widely used concept is now outdated, and they know the "right way" we should be doing it.

This paradigm is important from a dev management perspective, in that there must be an element of actively suppressing this in a dev organisation.

E.g. having approved tech lists so you don't have another half dozen js frameworks inserted over the next 12 months, requiring permission to stray outside standard paradigms, and compartmentalizing experimental time from production time.

Otherwise your dev output drops through the floor.

MVC is fine. Its a basic concept that aligns with the underlying hardware: model - memory, view - screen, controller - cpu. It ain't broke, don't let your devs fix it.
Why didn't they embed the CVV and expiry date into the barcode? Maybe they can't embed a '\r' into the barcode, or the characters after the CR would be entered before the POS was ready to accept them?
I'm curious how much data this involves per user. This is clearly a massive undertaking when you're talking about ~250 million users but I bet it would be easy to provide the same info if all the data was local on a device and each user ran their own query. This assumes that the space required to store all of your listening history fits on device which I think is a safe bet.

"certainty of servitude" -> "I didn't think my statement was particularly ideological"

Have the self-awareness to concede that describing 'a job' particularly in high tech which can pay quite well and has great conditions, is tantamount to servitude is effectively ideological.

It's safe to say your experience is highly atypical. Even if a grad student's stipend is not funded on an RA for their research, the research still costs money. It is certainly funded from somewhere, and it's not coming from the tuition. It's almost always the PI's grant. And that means your research is on a specific problem.

I can't speak to what your experience is, but what I am saying here is typical in US universities.

Perch is in a class of CMSes that doesn’t need a lot of that community because the developer doesn’t have as many problems to solve (security, unwanted default behavior, programming against strange old code.) It more “gets out of the way.” The result is lowered cost of development for freelancers and agencies.

Craft CMS is another good example of how it’s possible to successfully compete against Wordpress and Drupal by making the development and maintenance experience much better.

This comment has so many factual inaccuracies.
1. Vote share for BJP in urban areas have been consistent with rural areas in the most recent national election of 2019. Source: Official website of election commission of India
2. There are multiple celebrity status people (including journalists, students, politicians) and common people openly complaining against government on Twitter and in public forums and they are all free and continue to do so without the fear of being arrested. Examples: Ravish Kumar, Barkha Dutt, Shehla Rashid, Shashi Tharoor, Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Kanhaiya Kumar and countless more.
3. Ruling party has a very strong competition at state level. In India, police report to states (except Delhi) so in general, states have much more power to control law and order than central govt. BJP has lost recent assembly elections spectacularly in Delhi and some other states.
4. People always have reasons to be upset. When J&K was an independent state the people in Jammu and Ladakh were upset because of the corruption, lawlessness and rampant terrorism about which local govt. biased in favor of Kashmir region didn't do anything. Then, Kashmiris were holding Ladakh and Jammu folks hostage.

Classic internet comment conflating 2 different issues into one to make an abhorrent point.

India is over reaching in Kashmir without question. But to imply that there aren't terrorist actors from Pakistan in the region is completely false. It has been borne out time and again that even if they don't physically cross the border, they train and indoctrinate the youth in the region somehow.

This is the problem with everyone opposing this govt. There are egregious violations of privacy happening in Kashmir but the talk revolves around how they're creating a smokescreen with terrorists. This is both true and false. They are creating a smokescreen but no Indian will ever disagree that the ISI is sending over jihadis on the regular to this day and that Imran Khan is a puppet with the strings in the hands of the Pakistani army. If you throw out the latter, you can attack and criticise the govt for its draconian laws. But they'd rather fight using that stupid crutch.

I'm not a lawyer, and I was not involved, other than I knew there was a many-years-long legal action regarding branding against another company with whom we had otherwise a really good relationship.

My point is not about branding or lawyers, it's about risk.

Said company gave up a huge amount of money to patent trolls, and their lawyers were empowered to mitigate risk, with the backing of the CEO, their rationality being: "We make a huge amount of over here, why on earth would we allow that to be risked by speculative activity over there?" which is not entirely irrational, it just depends on implementation.

Everything is so gray, it's so hard to tell. Consider that we have no idea how open-source software licensing will work out because it hasn't been really pushed through the court system, and how limiting that ambiguity is for the entire industry.
If Pakistan had just listened to the UN and actioned first step of the security councils resolution 47, we would not be in this position.

Their topology tells far richer tales than the press releases when you dig deeper on the numbers.

224 threads = 112 HT cores = 2 x 56 core CPUs. This is 8 cores short of the 64 core flagship. 8 cores == 1 CCX.

It seems exceedingly unlikely that AMD would produce a Rome CPU with 7 out of 8 CCX in perfect health, but have the 8th CCX completely missing (functionally). It seems more likely that the 8th CCX is there with all 8 cores, and that it is reserved for some other type of service. One possibility could be that there are higher guarantees of side channel protection at the CCX boundary, and google intends to use this for secure internal functions or sell to clients who have side channel sensitivity. Another may be that they simply want the hypervisor to have a very fat budget of 8 cores per socket to work with. Considering the amount of potential IO going on, this might be required in some cases.
From what I've read over the years, it's pretty clear that stents are a con game. And from what I know personally about Abbott, I'm not at all surprised that they'd bribe researchers to yield the results that they wanted.

In a 2018 article in the New York Times, Marcia Angell wrote:

> Second, there’s good evidence that drug company involvement biases research in ways that are not always obvious, often by suppressing negative results.

And as I recall, her 2005 book The Truth About the Drug Companies discussed research which showed that the geographic distribution of stent usage correlated with the geographic distribution of capacity to do stents. With evidence, as I recall, that facilities basically bribed local cardiologists for referrals.
I'm so confused. What are you suggesting that's any different from what I said?

> This assumes that the space required to store all of your listening history fits on device which I think is a safe bet

Space-wise, yes, but users are likely using multiple devices and may have switched phones, reinstalled the app, wiped data etc.

Then you have to consider that the scripts would have to be individually written for each platform, and would have to be careful about power consumption, CPU usage etc., especially on mobile devices. And there's not just data mining but also video encoding (for the stories).

And then there's this part:

Doesn't say why that's illegal. At best it says they had customers that broke the law.

>Often both the CEO and Vice President would talk openly about how one of our clients was violating the TOS of several companies.

Not criminal even for the client, at least assuming the HiQ v Linkedin case is upheld. And not illegal for the company. Maybe civil liability under tortious interference? Pretty high bar there, though. And that's all assuming there's an actual ToS - the one example given is of Google search results. Manipulating your own website in the hopes Google treats it favorably can't be seen as violating any agreed ToS.

The stuff Micfo was accused of in court, and the stuff OP is claiming are criminal acts, are disjoint.
Safety is achieved by managing risk. Regulations are a derivative description thereof.

If the repair makes the plane meet the letter of the regulations but introduces risks that the regulations didn't consider, you've done a good job at meeting regulations but a bad job at managing actual risk.

How many times did you visit the valley in the last 30 years? Please tell us how peaceful or violent it was during your last 5 visits.

Please, also tell us how exactly this is bringing peace to the valley and if banning phones and internet for months has been so effective, then why did 1988-95 see the most unrest? If I remember correctly, mobile phones with EDGE/GPRS were introduced to Kashmir around what year? 2002? 2000 to ~2010 were also some of the most peaceful years in Kashmir in the last 3 decades.

Would the formation of Israel be an expression of nationalism? Can it in that light be seen as the belief that one's country or ethnic group is just as deserving as others'? Or to take a more recent example of Kurdish nationalism.
I guess if you were hostile to hippies living out of their vehicles parking in town and being visible on the sidewalks and at cafes like the perg.

The town has changed since then, there's a lot more traffic and yuppies everywhere. The loss of free parking is just one symptom of how the place has changed. There's a lot more people and money now.

It's not like the elimination of free parking has reduced the number of cars in town, it's changed the kind of people parking there. The lots still fill up, just instead of run down vans and RVs/buses and beater student vehicles it's more nice expensive vehicles.

I fully expect downtown Santa Cruz to look like downtown Burlingame in the future, complete with polished stone pavers for parking spaces. That's the trajectory they're on when I last visited.
Actually I’ve been through this but since we use Scala and our HTTP client wasn’t accounted for in default generators I went straight to writing a plugin for the ehm code-generator toolkit.

Mostly same observations, but I actually made that plugin work. In retrospect writing complete generator from scratch would take far less time and effort.

I believe original authors have never written a compiler nor considered a code-generator to be a compiler (which it is). Hence the funky architectural style - whatever was the conceptual model behind it fits poorly to the problem at hand and likely was patched multiple times to cover niche corner cases.
HTTPS, and a throwaway account that cannot be linked to me. I live in an urban area where the internet isn't very restricted (other than DNS-level blocks for porn and piracy sites). The same is not there for the people in Kashmir, who have had very little (and severely restricted) access to the internet in the past eight months or so.
Took a while to find it all the way down in that image of the inside cover, but I can't see how that isn't promoting violence against anyone considered to be alt-right or far-right. Do they have to accept "Always Punch Antifa" projects now?
The original statement was overwritten, we only have some vague references about what it says. But moving it to another record without the witness present is still tampering.

The conspiracy was to get Assange into US custody, not frame him of a crime, and that conspiracy has been proven to he true. The allegations didn't need to be flawlessly done.

That is a lie. The Indian media is not afraid to criticize the BJP.

Here are some Indian media that constantly criticize the current BJP government:

I know this is still a weapon but it's surprising the lengths we go to in order to minimize civilian suffering.

I just got finished watching The World at War series. During WWII there was routinely air raids that would kill 20,000+ people. Tokyo firebombing killed 100,000+

War is still bad but I'm glad I don't have to live thru that.
> established multinational corporations

> money being extracted from local economies

For someone complaining about "environmental debt", a term I have never seen before, you do use a lot of tired phrases.

I also don't quite believe that international shipping is quite as amendable to scrappy little startups with little money as you make it out to be?

> other than ostensibly environmental protection

Yes, the benefit of the proposed scheme is environmental protection, and therefore it is no surprise that you identify it as it's primary benefit ("ostensibly" being a meaningless qualifier used to vaguely dismiss the idea without feeling the need to argue the point).

Both the principle as well as the mechanisms are well established. Car insurance comes to mind, or really any liability insurance.

An insurance scheme would, in fact, significantly lower the capital requirements compared to straight-up bonds, in the same way that you don't have to put up a million $ to get that amount of coverage for your car.

> actual implementation in practice

Require insurance against environmental damage caused by any vessel. Deny entry to foreign vessels not complying.

some of the scenarios I'm referring to:

- there's some communicative intelligence involved with the craft(s), that we've communicated with in a way that leads us to think they are harmless (despite radar jamming antics.) in a best case scenario, we've been given guarantees of safety as well as sufficient explanation and demonstration to consider that guarantee credible.

- we've seen sufficient examples of these in history to conclude that if harm was meant, it would have been dealt by now

- the crafts themselves have given indications of any game theoretic elements which would lead to harm. for example, perhaps they've communicated (perhaps indirectly through escalation and deescalation) what areas of engagement or human action will lead to escalation and which won't, and have done so consistently

i'm leaning towards a combination of the second and the third. there's no reason to believe these craft are new phenomena, but likely evaded sufficient detection to be accepted as real until the last several decades. if you assume the technology involved in these are far beyond our own, then it's also fair to assume that any capacity for harm from these has been ever-present and existential in scope since humanity first began. and yet, here we are. so it doesn't take a huge leap of logic to conclude that perhaps these are harmless, modulo any major disruptions in say the threat of humanity to itself or to other parts of the galaxy.

Quick summary of the situation in India

- In 2014, Narendra Modi was elected Prime Minister on a plank of "development for all". Since the BJP's pedigree was one of Hindu nationalism (aka Hindutva), this was a change welcomed by many. He had a good track record of development as Chief Minister (equivalent of Governor in America).

- After a couple of major missteps (invalidating all high value currency notes, tax changes), growth started to slow. While it had been 7-9% between 2004 and 2014, it was now 5% or less.

- The BJP started to capture and subvert institutions that make India function as a democracy including the Courts[1] and the Election Commission[2]. They intimidated and coerced the media into toeing the BJP line [3].

- In 2019, the BJP won re-election. In this campaign, there was no talk of development (because there was precious little of it), no discussion of rampant unemployment. The BJP tried to convince us that the main issue was Pakistan (it wasn't) and how they were an existential threat to the nation (they weren't) and how Modi had "taught them a lesson" (he hadn't).

- Since then, Hindutva has made a big comeback. It is now priority #1, above unemployment, above low growth.

- The BJP is staking everything on killing the separatist movement in Kashmir and removing all special privileges of Kashmiris, building a temple over a destroyed mosque, and removing illegal Muslim immigrants. Though seemingly disparate, all of these facilitate the broader goal of establishing a Hindu Rashtra - a nation of Hindus, by Hindus, for Hindus. One where the secular Constitution of India is no longer valid.

- To enforce this, the BJP has resorted to totalitarian tactics, including the effective house arrest of millions of Kashmiris, coupled with an internet blackout. Thanks to the aforementioned capture of the Courts, the Supreme Court has done nothing to right this injustice [4].

That's where we are now.

On a personal note, writing this down broke my heart. I love my country and I grieve to see what is being done to it.
