It has nothing to do with Wall Street or Tweets.

It has to do with insiders and public information regarding a publicly-traded company worth many billions of dollars.

Musk has an agreement with said investors and is bound by a bunch of rules he has agreed to.

He's a fool and it could really hurt him someday.

He really needs to stop tweeting about the stock.

Such a version of Zip can't exist. If it would, you could decide whether a program calculates a certain thing. According to Rice's theorem something like that can't exist without solving the Halting Problem

> Kernel TCP has been inappropriate for datacenter networking for decades

I'm not sure your conclusion can be drawn from the cited paper alone, which is now 11 years old. The paper describes a phenomenon that occurs when switch hardware buffers overflow on high-throughput networks -- a problem that has since been resolved in many datacenters that use software-defined networking and more modern hardware.

Thank you for your response. It's so unfortunate to think that 20 years later, instead of having the situation improved, a story like "I wanted to go to TLV but there was no flight so I flew to GZA instead" sounds completely unbelievable.
In a world where anyone can publish, you'd be hard pressed to come up with a definition that wasn't accessible to most anyone.
I've plugged it before, but Portainer (portainer.io) is what finally got me into running containers for apps. It presents a really nice interface for running individual containers or stacks including docker-compose files, and it extends the nerd knobs for doing things like custom networking or filesystem mounts. I paired it with Ouroboros for doing automated container upgrades in the background, and the result is that I have a solid set of container apps running at all times that I never have to touch.

Were I learning k8s for work, it wouldn't be a good solution, but for simple home apps that you want to fire and forget, it definitely beats doing a hand-made installation and periodically care-and-feeding them.
Ah thanks, that answers the question. Seems like a decent offer, although I imagine the would only offer this to a limited amount of founders.

Also I find it hilarious that they include a "A 1-year subscription to The Economist." in there.

For local, just remove branches that are not on remote anymore
Also, dropshipping is something that many brands offer to retailers.

Like if you buy a Patagonia jacket from Nordstrom, it might be sent directly from a Patagonia warehouse instead of a Nordstrom warehouse.
The MBA that Apple has been selling alongside the iPad since 2010 is an “aberration”?

We might even say that copyright holders were created by copyright law, no? =)
Cash for clunkers mostly hurt the working class as it resulted in higher used car prices (and higher financing costs due to compound interest effect on higher prices + higher interest rates for used cars).

Unfortunately, in the USA, you can't get to work (or even purchase groceries) without a vehicle with the exception of a few places.
If you're looking for 0day kernel exploits that might be popped from say MobileSafari, having an unrestricted, unsandboxed non-root shell is a much better starting point compared to a regular sandboxed app launched from xcode. Or even just for inspecting the filesystem outside a regular app's restricted container.
I don't know how to feel about this but it's definitely interesting
> I don't understand what commercial landlords are thinking?

Financial engineering/optimization. I'm not well versed in it myself, but from my understanding:

Commercial landlords can harvest a paper loss from a vacant unit. If you were renting a unit out at $100 per square foot per month, being able to take a $100 sq/ft/month write off from a vacancy may be more advantageous than dropping your rate to $50 sq/ft/month and getting it occupied. Particularly useful if you have a large enough portfolio to withstand the loss in cash flow.

Leasing a unit out at a lower rate can also have other implications on financing (and I believe valuations) for commercial real estate, by essentially re-establishing the cash flow potential of the unit less than what it was (and still is on paper, until you re-lease it at a lower rate).

Although it should be noted that modern American regulations make it very challenging to run the kind of low-cost "random guy with a cart" stands that historically provided street food.
Elon Musk is the CEO of a publicly traded company, with all the rights and responsibilities that entails. He can take the company private and delist the company if he doesn't want to follow the rules of the stock market.

Koch Industries, for example, is privately held.
I agree. A process that typically requires manual intervention and tweaking of the source CAD model to arrive at something ready for simulation. As a design engineer maybe I’m not out of a job just yet.
> whose fault is it that Wall Street react to tweets?

He's not permitted to tweet anything that may materially impact the stock without prior board or general counsel approval, per his contempt agreement.

Obviously Jay Clayton is going to let him get away with it just like his prior violation of the Consent Decree, but for the brief period of time that the market forgets the SEC is toothless when it comes to Musk, this is nominally a big deal.
TBH I think most of those complaints are true of the graph database ecosystem in general. I haven't used Dgraph but I echo the same concerns from my experience.
Lumen5 | Frontend (React), and Javascript | Vancouver, BC | Fulltime, Onsite | https://lumen5.com

We're a startup (32 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to automate the creative process of producing video content. We've found that what we're building is very attractive to marketing and communications teams from lots of different organizations and we've got tons of interesting search, NLP, artificial intelligence, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. Right now, we're hiring:

Frontend Engineer: Contribute to our large, beautiful single-page app, using React, Redux, ImmutableJS, and more! https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4040744003

Javascript Engineer: We're building a powerful javascript library that handles all of our video rendering (in webgl), and we need the testing, toolkit, architecture and data structures expertise to continue to make it awesome. Posting here: https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4040741003
It might be nice to touch on composition as a good way to get started is to test out individual pieces and be confident they work when you're putting them together.

If you're building a complex regular expression, setting smaller parts in variables and dropping them in with (?:${part}) makes things a bit more readable.

It also exposes a real weakness of most regex engines. In particular, alternation is a first-class operation, but complement and intersection, while theoretically possible[1] are typically not.

A person might guess that to match three keywords is /.keyword1.&.keyword2.&.keyword3./

Or maybe /.keyword1.&(.keyword2.)!/ to match keyword1 and not keyword2.

But those won't work, so it's a good idea to explain some options, an obvious one being /keyword1/.test() && !/keyword2/.test()

In the section on lookaround assertions, it's probably useful to note that (?=thing1)(?=thing2) can match both, and it's a good mental model for it, but that it comes with a few gotchas.

I can tell you, from having been involved in a number of the discussions on the mailing list, that these points were definitely discussed. There were a number of people on your side. HTML subsets were discussed, as was using markdown (or a markdown subset). In the end a simple link syntax was chosen along with a few optional items. The simple link syntax is much more than a stripped down html 1.0... it is gopher but with a better syntax that is easier for non-developers to generate content with.

Gemini isn't perfect and is definitely a work in progress that serves a purpose and fits a niche. In my opinion it is geared more to converting people from gopher to gemini rather than from the web to gemini, though I hope we'll get some of both :)
If they did away with laptops how could they expect developers to respect their license to only compile Apple apps on their OS? They can’t expect super users to work from tablets. I’d be curious if they would put this constraint on their own developers given their strict deadlines and work hours.
For native apps sure. But my 6100/60 - the slowest PPC Mac - was slower in emulation than my LCII with a 68030-40Mhz accelerator. My computer was less than half the speed of the high end 040s at the time.
I hate 0 percent loans.

I wish a service existed that I would pay a lump sum of upfront cash to, and they'd sort out all the loan paperwork, etc.

Obviously if it's a 60 month 0% loan, I want to pay the sticker price minus the return on a 2.5 year fed bond...
There's also the protection added to the MFG by layering.

Consider every dealership horror story you've ever heard. Both from customers -and- floor employees.

In both cases, having all dealerships across the country owned by the MFG means there's larger pools of workers to unionize, and a greater risk for a class action.
I disagree. The syntax design should flow from the design of the language itself and whether or not you use prefix or postfix notation for type annotations depends heavily on what makes sense within the semantics of the type system.

Design a language before you design a syntax.
I'll certainly do when we actually release the version based on badger!
Heads up, 2016 article. Did a double take when it said fetch wasn't implemented in Safari yet.

In Kotlin, IntelliJ has no problem with this. As you type a new value: `val id`, and you have `IdentName` defined in scope, the value `identName` is suggested automatically.

Not all IDEs are the same, though, and I'm not sure how sophisticated this feature was to implement.

Coming from a country which haggles all the time (India), and seeing the in general no-haggle culture of US, I was always surprised car purchase is one of the areas where haggling is culturally acceptable.
It's not true that it was never 12 countries.

On the contrary, while the flag existed before, it really became the EC flag in 1986 when the number of member countries was... 12.
Yes, that's true. Especially, I think, the minority group known as "billionaires" needs privacy to make sure their activities are protected from being shamed, and to preserve their valuable diverse viewpoints. It's time we stopped picking on them and using our advantages to suppress their rights!

I've always wanted to introduce regexes to non-programmers because they have always struck me as staggeringly useful. Just simple things like find/replace in my filenames and find/replace in documents.

This guide, along with a simple web-based regex tester would be great for this...

But it's missing a 3rd part: regex plugins for common non-programmers tools, like for ms office, the windows explorer, etc.

This reminds me a lot of one of the original ways to run unsigned code on the Sony PSP.

If you made two directories:

SomeApp
SomeApp%

And then launch the folder with the % sign then the code that checks for valid signatures will check in the directory without the %, but the code that actually launches the binary will still run the code in the directory with the %.

So all you need to do is get any binary with a valid sig and put it in the SomeApp folder while putting the code you actually want to run in SomeApp%.
Nice. How do you feel about Elixir, seeing as how you're working in both? I'm happy with straight erl but always curious about the other grass.

It’s easy to speak personally about not being an active trader but a careless tweets like this have consequences and can hurt people. The only argument to be made is that Elon doesn’t understand the effects of a tweet like this but I think we all know he’s a pretty smart guy.

This is what retail and trading is about. Making contacts with suppliers, making contact with distributors, researching the market, trying to get credit, etc.

I think people get very angry about dropshipping because there is this self-help industry around it...but what that really reflects is that platforms for acquiring customers have totally changed: costs are nothing, you don't need huge scale to contact customers, etc.

But it is a legitimate business model, people have been dropshipping for decades (shock: most Asian manufacturers have little to no interest in working out how to market to Western consumers), and you can make billions doing this if you want - Wayfair is a dropshipper, Wish is a dropshipper, you can do this if you want.
RIMs most profitable year was in 2010. Three years after the iPhone camera out. Profits are a lagging indicator.
I'm honestly somewhat surprised in all these discussions that one word hasn't come up a lot more frequently, more so as the years go by: patents. Patents under the current regime last 20 years. AMD64 was a 1999 announcement and spec was out in 2000 IIRC, 1st implementation (Opteron?) was like 2003, Conroe was 2006. And chip designs are done years before mass fabbing too.

All of which means that, starting this year and definitely in the next few years all possible patents on the core x86-64 standard will expire, with each additional year bringing a few extra extensions. As far as what Apple requires to run historic macOS code, they clearly have not built a dependence on every cutting edge new instruction. They officially supported 2010 Mac Pros (which were on the Westmere chips) until last year, and 10.15 can still be made to run on them.

Ever since Apple giving up on Intel chips has been discussed one general assumption/objection that I have always seen essentially assumed is that it also means abandoning x86 too, and in turn an enormous amount of macOS software, compatibility, etc. But need that actually be the case? x86-64 going patent free for all the essential parts opens up a lot of options for a lot of players. Maybe I've missed a lot of discussion (and if so I'd love to be directed to it) but so far I really haven't seen it considered much. 20 years is a long time in tech, but it's not forever. Without IP holding them back, need Apple ever give it up? They can focus on ARM, but a high performance hardware/software translation layer would certainly change the math around a transition wouldn't it?

However, there is an elephant in the room - any Xiaomi device can unlock its bootloader, and the flash an open firmware, like LOS. This instantly makes it much better than Apple phones or any phones on the market - you can even ignore google software. With Apple you cant even run apps that haven't gotten through Apple censors, and the closest you can get to owning your hardware is "jailbreaking" it.
And there are similar articles in 2019, 2017, 2016, all the way to 2011 [1].

One of the thing about these rumours is that they are always 6 months or so before another new Mac product launches or refresh. It could also have been coincidence since Mac used to update once a year, and any rumours would always fit into that time frame.

But I cant help and wonder if this is just a tactics from Apple on pricing. Apple doesn't get any marketing subsidies from the Intel stickers since Apple dont use any of those. Surely Apple would still want an equivalent incentives if not more.
