According to the article, IBM did this same thing to Twitter (suing for ridiculous patent claims immediately prior to an IPO, in order to pressure some sort of settlement).

I don't know much about the stock market, but this doesn't make a ton of sense to me. If the claim really is meritless (which, it certainly seems to be), it shouldn't effect the fundamental value of Airbnb's business. If the underlying business is unaffected, won't whatever PR-related impact the lawsuit has on stock prices be erased rather quickly? Or would investors still price in some risk as long as the lawsuit was pending, even if they felt confident it would be thrown out?
Stack is cool as long as it's the top element or two that you care about. Anything more complex, and you want (well, I do) some sort of a binding syntax, so that it is possible to refer to the value symbolically. I find all those swaps and dups impossible to reason about.

The sidereal year is what we're talking about here, the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun and come back to the same position. What's changing isn't that, it's the sidereal day.

Earth spins slower > Moon Speeds Up
Less Rotations per Orbit > More Hours per Day

Number of days is changing because the day is going from 23.X hours to 24.X hours due to the Earth rotating slower. Hence, same length year if you measure it in absolute time, just less days in relative time.

"You know what I should be doing? Okay. Hear me out. You know that there's something called the search for extraterrestrial intelligence? Looking for aliens? I feel like I should be looking for aliens, man! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! No, I'm for real man, I wanna like, I wanna like guess the protocols, like, Yo, how would they contact us, man? I already have some ideas.

Okay, I'm gonna explain this real simple. You know polarizing stuff on your camera? When you use a polarizing filter on a camera it lets you, like, see shit, under the reflection and shit, like, but if you twist two polarizing filters against each other, or, like, even a single polarizing filter in front of a screen, because the screen also has polarizing filters in it, it turns completely black at one point, you've seen that? Do you have a polarizing filter? If you had one and put it in front of a computer's LCD screen, if you twist it enough, it turns everything black, it's like the two cancel each other out, the two polarizing filters block light out entirely.

What if we put a huge polarizing filter in front of the sun, and, like, know our sun and this other star's alignment through time, and it doesn't even have to like cover the whole area of the sun, just a big percentage of it, and then start flashing that shit in a pulse, so the very light of the sun, we don't even need to generate the light, it's already being generated behind us, we're going to be doing like fucking smoke signals, man. To all the other suns around us. I MEAN THAT'S CRAZY RIGHT? Hahahahaha!

Ok, ok, Imma bring it down. That's funny though. That's a good idea for SETI, I'm gonna tell them, Yo, we should be looking at everybody's son in like looking for tiny, fucking, but detectable changes. Obviously it's gonna have to be, like, with a telescope like Hubble that's outside Earth's atmosphere. Maybe James Webb's gonna cut it. I don't know. It's good for infrared."
No, but when the obvious trade (short) is apparent, it is easy to take out weak hands with the opposite trade. Plus large institutions need a rally after this warning shot to exit positions. Always look for the shock (which is just a warning) to follow up by an exit position, followed by the real action. Real action should happen later... downwards from May.
Doing all of them is.

Doing one of them isn't.
Of course. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that this situation isn't serious. I'm saying I have sufficient faith in the framework of the United States, even in light of the virus, that I'm not willing to trade it for the frameworks of China and South Korea. I'm also not saying necessarily anything derogative about either of those countries.

What do you guys think about a system that would 'guide' the user through the process of creating a star schema data warehouse (Kimball style)?

The advantage of this approach would be the fact that you do the dirty laundry upfront during the modeling & population phases. The end result is a data structure that is fool-proof, i.e. there is only one way to join facts/dimensions, it's self-documenting. In fact pre-joined views could automatically be created (and persisted if need be), giving the business user a clean structure to interact with.

I'm not sure how using mixins is better. Now you don't know half the time what is overriding what. Composition seems to be the better tool IMHO.
The guinea worm spreads via drinking egg-infested water. When the parasite becomes fully developed in the human body, it migrates to the skin where it causes blisters accompanied by burning pain. The pain induces the host to immerse the boil in water; immediately relieving the pain - and allowing the parasite to release its eggs for the next host to drink.
After getting the question for a converter for AI, EPS and PDF files to SVG I have built a tiny demo using Inkscape and Ghostscript.

It seems however that although there is a ton of references online for the various conversions many of them are very outdated. I'm wondering if anyone used similar conversions in a production environment in the past and what approaches yielded the best results for them.

(if anyone wants to play around with the current implementation I'll leave an instance running here: https://inkscape-xiaaw3oz6q-ew.a.run.app)
ØMQ is probably a good fit (I think nanomsg is dead?) but there are also a number of protocols at the TCP level that provide a message-sequence interface rather than a byte-sequence interface: SCTP is perhaps the best-known, and Plan9 IL is another (deprecated) solution.

For some applications, though, the simplest solution is to shut down one half of the TCP connection once you've finished sending your data. That's how rsh, finger, and HTTP/0.9 responses work, and it's a supported option in HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. Failing that, preceding each message with a byte count, a la netstrings, is fairly simple; or you can use SLIP-like or COBS framing.

> The length of a year has been constant over Earth’s history, because Earth’s orbit around the Sun does not change.

That is decidedly not true. At the very least the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is known to change[0]: "The major component of these variations occurs with a period of 413,000 years (eccentricity variation of ±0.012)".

Moreover, I seem to recall reading that over the 4.5 billion year scale the distance of various planets to the Sun has varied as well, though I don't have a reference for that right now.

What Rust _should_ do is gradually increase the noisiness of warnings about using this. Eventually it'll disappear from the crate and end-user ecosystem (possibly with a small effort to tidy up abandoned crates).

Java's "never remove a deprecated API" was definitely one of their big mistakes. Even a 10-year deprecation cycle is better than none.

Society responds very differently to a 20% hospitalization rate versus a 2% one. Emotion is a driving factor. The problem is panic, which will overwhelm hospitals sooner than the actual hospitalization rate. Thus a 2% rate is much much better to mitigate panic

When knowledgeable people talk about "market manipulation", they're generally talking about secret market manipulation, fiddling with the market structure in private to extract value from it. Wash trading is a good explanatory example; you're tricking people into thinking market volume is higher than it actually is, to get them to do things they wouldn't do if they knew the real story. Setting clear rules known in advance is "manipulation" by some definitions, but it's not really the same thing.

There are some people who beat up China for simply setting rules in the market, and they're definitely wrong to do so, although you shouldn't confuse this with people saying the specific rules China sets are bad.

> For example, let's say a method should only work with integers larger than zero

I dislike this example. The numeric systems of every programming language I've ever used has been (more or less) terrible, precisely because there are extremely common and simple arithmetic types, just like this, which it's terrible at representing. Half of the "modern" languages I've seen just provide the thinnest possible wrapper around the hardware registers ("Int32"!).

(What if I need to accept an integer in the range 5 < x < 10 instead? Am I supposed to define a new class for every range?)

Instead of saying we need a system of user-definable classes so every user can fix the numerics on their own, for each program they write, I'd say we should fix our numeric systems to support these common cases, and then re-evaluate whether we really need classes.

Are there non-numeric analogues to this type of value restriction? Maybe. It doesn't seem like a very common one, but it is an interesting one. Perhaps what we really want is "define type B = type A + restriction { invariant X }". I can't think of any examples offhand in my own work, but that could be because I haven't had that language feature so I wasn't looking for places to apply it.
There is definitely a case to be made for a total miscarriage of justice in her case, and indeed this is supported by the evidence of her illegal detention.

It may not be obvious from a shallow observation of her case, but the very real and absolute war crimes and crimes against humanity she - and others - have revealed, were committed by the very group of people that currently has her in its sights.

Very real crimes were committed, and the people who committed them are now trying Chelsea, and Assange, in a corrupted court.

So .. no. This particular grand jury situation is going to be illegal and invalid, by any and all measure. You cannot be tried, in a fair and just society, by the very organizations you have revealed are committing crimes against humanity.

Chelsea Manning is this generations' Sophie Scholl. That was not 'justice' either, even if it was accepted by society at large as a consequence of the zeitgeist.
Like others have said, it was real and handled well. They knew about it for years before so there was time to fix the issue.

The panic was also very real despite not being proportional to the actual problem, but just like any other media-induced widespread panic, it served as a means to make lots of profit for those in a position to do so. Media companies squeezed every last drop of that panic for ratings... well into the year 2000 when they started spreading the story that Y2K was the tip of the iceberg, and the "real" Y2K won't actually start until January 1, 2001.

As an immigrant to the US, I got to see the weird side of American culture in how people tend to romanticize (for lack of a better word) post-apocalyptic America. Kind of like the doomsday hoarders of today are doing. It's like they think a starring role on the Walking Dead is waiting for them, except in real life.
This is the accurate point. We had epoch date tracking since the 1960s or so and the coding of a two digit year was out of laziness and convenience in most cases. And not bashing anyone, but most of the systems I saw using the lazy method were more business systems where there wasn't thoughtful engineering a lot of the time, but more just get it done. Those two don't have to be mutually exclusive IMO, but in the 70s/80's it seems a lot of the time it was, simply because IMO we had predominately really two classes of developers, scientific and business where business devs took less of an engineering mindset and more get it done in a specific timeframe so they "hacked" it out. Plus it was new, so stuff happens.

Sadly this stuff still goes on today, just in slightly different ways. Data type and data structure choices are critical, and it isn't as important to me that someone know how to write an algorithm for a RB-tree (or pick your DS), but it is critical an engineer knows which data structure/type to choose for specific use cases. This is one of my biggest complaints with the way a lot of engineering interviews are structured today, they want you to regurgitate known algorithms which is a waste of time and personal memory, find out if the person knows when they'd use a specific data structure and why the rest is easily researched. I mention this because to me the fundamental flaw of the y2k problem was one of data structure and data type choice.
I worked New Years 1999 when I was at Red Hat.

Leading up to the change over there was a lot of work to make sure all the systems would be OK, and that underlying software would also be OK, but keep in mind, auto-update on the Internet wasn't super common.

I ended up getting one call from a customer that night where they had a valid Y2K bug in their software, and since it wasn't in Red Hat's system, they moved along to their next support person to call :)

It was a thing, but much less of a thing because of the work put into getting ahead of it.

I'm not sure company value can really tell you what the volume of new tech is.

Does a company like Facebook really develop new tech, or just apply it? They don't produce that many papers, compared to even a small university department.

How are you even measuring the volume of new tech? What is one new composite material compared to one new JavaScript framework? How do you compare those?

Yup, you can seek a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, or institute an IPR at the PTAB to get a patent knocked-out. As a patent litigator, I believe most people don't understand patents, the patent system, nor what it tries to achieve.
There were a lot of Y2K related tasks in the course of many developers generally activity. Where I worked at the time, there were not developers solely dedicated to Y2K work. The Y2K issue pretty much caused an employment boom for software developers though.
I worked at a bank at the time and can say that we started working on it back in 1996, and all the systems were in place and tested by early 1999 so we had no issues. It was absolutely a crisis; back in 1995 one of the mainframe programmers did an analysis on her own and determined that, not only was it a problem, but that the system would be hopelessly corrupted if it wasn't fixed. They spent, if not seven figures, at least high-six figures to get everything ready.
One thing that was drilled in from management was that no one was to talk about it because it might be perceived that "real" work wasn't getting done. :\
This is always such an annoying problem:

1. Shine light on problem and make sure people hear about it

2. People respond and fix it

3. Outcome not as bad as you said it could be /because it was fixed/

4. Some time later "That wasn't a big deal"

No, it wasn't that big of a deal because we worked hard to fix it!

Hey! This is a really interesting tool. We have a product already set up with Playwright/Jest, so this may come in pretty handy.

I see you have docs for converting a generated test to Typescript by hand, but it would be even better to pass a CLI flag to generate the TS test automatically. This would also lead to better types - i.e. `let browser: Browser;` vs. just `let browser`. Oh - looks like you're already tracking that! https://github.com/qawolf/qawolf/issues/353

Another request would be to specify the output location of the generated test. We already have integration tests at `/tests/integration/*`, and I'd prefer to keep them all in there.
You could add an edition sensitive non-overridable error to the language, as in, if you use it on edition 2015 or 2018, there is no problem, but on edition 2021 and beyond there will be an error in your code that you can't allow away. Then you could have edition specific rustdocs for std where items that are deprecated this way are hidden per default.

However, at least the 2018 edition had the requirement that updating can be done automatically. Ensuring that is hard for library functions.

I could understand version 45 (somewhat) as it was ESR. FF48 came out around the same time that Mozilla dropped support. My assumption is that KaiOS hasn't really poured many resources into that part of the OS. An update to the kernel and moving to Firefox 68 ESR seems like an amazing upgrade for users.

I can't imagine Mozilla putting in the resources without also open-sourcing all the things.
