That's great! And I think it shows that no matter where you draw the line you're going to end up with compelling topics on either side of it. I see it as a strength of Wikipedia that these things are fluid and there is an ongoing tension between inclusionists and deletionists. I'm very happy where they've ended up at the moment.
Almost everyone I know uses Google instead of the address bar, gah.
When I was looking up the OAUTHBEARER draft, there's a (OPTIONAL) field in the error response to point to the openid-configuration for dynamic registration. At the time I was implementing things for Thunderbird, no one was using this yet, and I would be surprised if this has actually been implemented by any major provider in any sort of usable way for clients.
I use it quite often, but as a tech-blogger, I'm an outlier.

I write about AWS products and it's quite nice to get an IDE preinstalled with AWS CLI tools with the push of a button.

For JS it's mostly an okay-ish IDE, not as good as VSCode, but okay.

For things like Rust or Reason it sucks quite much.
I'd also argue that a hash (SHA, MD5, etc) is also reversible IFF the bit length does not exceed the bitlength of the hash.

It's how many a password db is cracked. A hash may have infinite unhashed representations, but if the maxlength (in bits) is less than the hash type, then rainbow tables can relatively easily handle it.

My boss recently introduced Kubernetes to our software deployment.

The first thing he said, though, is if you don't absolutely need Kubernetes, don't use it. It is extremely complicated and finicky and difficult to deploy correctly, and can bite you in subtle ways.

Then he went on to describe, for our problems, how Kubernetes was absolutely necessary to scale without constant manual intervention and configuration and deployment processes consuming our time.

I appreciated that he had thoroughly thought through the problem before adding more complexity.
>The truth is that modern popularity is based off a narrow subset of shit-tests which are easily duped (Trump passed).

I don't think quality, or, for that matter, political choices (as in your example), are that simple to judge.

E.g. Trump might have won, but not necessarily because people were "duped", but because they was not much better on offer -- it was either a Rob Schneider fart movie (Trump), or a pretentious emotionally-dead tone-deaf to many issues Hollywood oscar-bait (Hillary).

I can handle about:config, but if they take it away, that will be very frustrating.

For me, the bigger address bar is just as bad as an advertisement: it's trying to steal my attention, except in this case no one else is benefiting from doing so.

If they remove the option, I hope someone smarter than me can come-up with an add-on to fix it.
I'm suggesting that, if the primary problem is government, we should reduce it. Are the things negatively impacting domestic labor national or state level policies? Do we even need a federal government to exist? The UK (and many other smaller countries) are able to exist as independent states, so why not the US states?
Practice programming in a functional language. They enforce a lot of restrictions that you won't be used to, and in overcoming these restrictions, you'll begin to learn and understand the reason for the jargon.

It's really hard to explain "abstraction over type constructors" in a pithy manner despite being a relatively simple statement because the obvious follow-up is "but why?" And the answer to that question isn't going to satisfy you without an understanding of the functional programming environment.

It's exactly like when novice programmers get thrown into Java land in CS101 and you have to tell the to just ignore the whole class, public, private, static, etc jargon. They need to gain experience programming in that environment to really appreciate those concepts.

Larger companies tend to prefer weekly/biweekly as you don't get that month-length variance. On the other hand, many employees don't like it as much because their biggest bills tend to be paid monthly so they'd prefer their paychecks to be aligned.
Windows does that too, at least for desktop switching. It's above that actually, the way Apple implemented animations in general using Core Animations looks much smoother than Windows or Gnome in my experience.
That was a concern early on. Now we have a sub-optimal excess of empty hospital beds, medical staff are being furloughed, and patients that should be seen are not. Clearly we'll need to adapt, higher or lower, watching things in real time. (in USA)

Yes! Slowing down all software development seems like an overreaction to the risk of dev/prod environment differences. Good architecture design, modular components, and isolated unit tests should really minimize the number of times this will become a problem.

In modern dairy operations, you chalk the tail of the heifers/cows you want bred. When the animal comes into heat, other female cattle will mount her and rub off the chalk. The artificial insemination tech then knows who should get inseminated.
Ironically, the page took more than a minute until first paint on an old iPad. (I even restarted the poor thing, thinking the HTTP stack had somehow died.) Please, mind that not everything is evergreen and that there's not much reason from a user's perspective to put perfectly working equipment to scrap just because devs decide to go with newest standards only. (Think green computing, which includes electronics waste. This also works both ways: a robust implementation is more likely to work in a few years from now on a then newer, probably much different browser engine.)
It is possible to fix UI problems without people noticing.

Also, people quickly get used to suboptimal UI and all kinds of UI bugs. Fixing those bugs improves the experience for new users while acclimatized users will be indifferent or even hostile to the change. It's a classic dilemma for long-lived products.
> In this meeting, I proceed to read them the contents of my email, sometimes literally and sometimes paraphrasing.

Did you try sending them voice messages instead, possibly via some TTS service?

(originally intended as joke, but now that I think about it... - especially since I sometimes use a STT service for voice messages I receive)
Of course, I'd never suggest they'd actually do this - this is all just speculative fiction.

I think it could be effective though - employee wouldn't have to actually engage in any of these behaviors (besides spreading the meme), and it would sow distrust and make others suspicious that mistakes may be malice.
> Are there products out there that are very complicated and do the explanation effectively?

Short answer ... no. If what you have is genuinely different then you won't be able to explain it quickly.

My suggestion is not to concentrate on what it does, or how it does it, but on the person's problem that will be solved. Do they know they have the problem? If so then highlight their pain, then promise to fix it. That provides the hook for them to want to know more, and to invest the next very small slab of time to see how you might be able to help.

"there was definitely a growing feeling that this couldn't go on for much longer during the 80's"

I heard stories and I'm inclined to believe that it may as well have been just the feeling of later generations. As I understood, people expected things to relapse to previous order since before the WW2, a sentiment shared both by former rich hoping, and by former poor afraid of loosing their benefits. As time passed, all of them gradually accepted things as normal, and the expectation for change was carried on only by following younger generations. I also think that people in North Korea may have had the same feeling for an impending change, especially hearing of USSR collapse, yet that didn't count for much.
I never use those terms and main programming goto is clojure.

"abstraction over type constructors" might have to do with typing and not related to functional programming.

An open-source petri dish-as-code
I think it's quite obvious that tourism isn't going to recover back to 100% where they were in 3 months, no...

Note that '100%' includes the growth prospects that Airbnb still had in January 2020. 'startups' like airbnb hire for growth. 25% workforce cut is roughly the growth prospects (20-30% per year) that airbnb had last year.

So no, that recovery won't come in just a few short months. For one because there's still a global pandemic related global lockdown. Second, because an effectively rolled-out vaccine is not expected until at least next year. Third because tourism is hardest hit in a normal economic crisis, in a recession and 20% unemployment figures like now, the first thing you stop doing is taking international trips for fun. Fourth because in a virus pandemic, tourism (concentrated populations gathering in hotspots like a museum, bus, airplane etc, and transporting the virus across borders) is a high-risk activity that gets restricted way more than other economic sectors like farming, manufacturing, or work from home office jobs. Fifth because most of airbnb's stock is caught up in one of two categories: people renting out their home when they're away on vacation, these people are staying home and aren't making their real estate available. Or professional airbnb companies which purchased real estate that's only economic with large revenues, financed with leveraged mortgages, many of these companies are set to collapse in a 3-month shutdown, let alone a 6-month low-activity industry. A lot of these will be folding and selling their properties. Both the demand side and supply side is going to take a hit, airbnb will run much less business for the next year at least and will need to bounce back. It won't be easy. Especially in an industry where you'll see dirt-cheap hotel prices competing for a few years.

> stop subsidizing their rides

They don't subsidize their rides on a per unit basis. The driver expects to earn a base fare + some amount based no distance + time, and Uber takes a 20% cut from that. The actual marginal cost to providing a second ride, for Uber, is maps licensing, server costs, and maybe marketing promotion costs for that market.

The loss that Uber makes, instead, is because the amount that they pull in from the service fee isn't enough to cover the facilities and corporate salaries (they have 27,000 employees).

Uber rides were "adjusted EBITDA" profitable for 2 straight quarters before this — take "adjusted EBITDA" with a grain of salt, but it's also not "nothing".

Instead, Uber will almost certainly have to raise prices. We all collectively pay for the Uber drivers' welfare, but rather than having it be progressively paid for through taxation, it will be regressively paid for through price increases that disproportionately impact the poor / middle class.

Rewriting a bunch of text files isn't atomic, so you need to take a planned outage or atomically rename the source dir so you don't serve 5xx errors from parsing half-written source. At that point you might as well have a deploy process, which can be as simple as "rsync && mv" into each host.
Give up while you can. Immutable data classes and functional pipelines are great, everything else isn't worth it. Lots of people say FP is amazing but very few people use it in the real world because like you say, its unintelligible.
I've never understood why RDBMSes don't offer a low-level protocol where, rather than a SQL statement, you can just send over the exact query-plan AST you want the DB to prepare in some binary encoding. Then you could pre-compile your hot OLTP queries and heavy OLAP reports offline against your existing DB schema, using the same sort of techniques that got Lucene its optimized Levenstein-automata JVM bytecode. You could even tweak the resulting plan, op by op, before letting it go to the DB—as if you were doing final ASM tweaks on a game in the 90s.

So far my only gripe for picture-in-picture is no closed captioning from sites like YouTube. Otherwise, fantastic as has been usual for Firefox.
But most people are capped to how much they'll spend on leisure by their vacation time. So there probably isn't much headroom to be gained for people who are regular travellers post this pandemic.
Yes I hate it when they pull down old-ish trees on the street, though to be fair they have conscientiously replanted lots near us.

As for the maps it seems to vary quite sharply from area to area, presumably just because bits haven't been filled in yet. They've got a lovely old oak at the end of our road on there, and long may it last...

The commenter at the top of this thread wanted to know whether this version of Firefox is a "major release". Using the date doesn't change that.

Zero, apparently.
I'm uncomfortable with the usage of the word "free" on this site. You are required to provide personal information (name, email address, maybe some other stuff) in order to access the videos. Their privacy policy states that they will sell/share this information with advertising/marketing companies. They will also correlate it with data they get from 3rd party data providers (so they will actually have access to much more about you than just what you explicitly provide).

I can't comment on the content itself since it's locked but I'd rather have the option to pay and not be subject to the same "privacy" policy.
> No company would pull out of CA like that and they know it.

No offense, but that could only be written by a Californian.

I can think of automotive performance and firearm products that while legal in CA, the companies refuse to sell there on the extra regulatory or ideological grounds. I’m certain there are more examples.

There are definitely companies that don’t want to deal with California and willingly remove themselves.
What might be more interesting is drawing performance of images. And yes, a comparison with plain old canvas would be nice too.

> time and mileage are both factors, extra miles from driving for hire reduce the sales value of the vehicle.

Yes, but time impacts depreciation far more than mileage, and the time-based portion of depreciation is a sunk cost. You can definitely argue that drivers accrue more miles driving for Uber/Lyft, and that they should be reimbursed for that, and I would agree with you. However...

Compare the Bluebook value of a typical car that might be used for this kind of work at ten years old with 120k miles (12k/year) vs. ten years old with a million miles (100k/year). The difference will end up being around $2500, because after ten years the car will be worth hardly any more than that no matter how many miles it has on it, and it can't lose more than 100% of its value due to higher mileage. ~$2500 amortized over 880k additional miles is <0.003/mile.

A 2016 Camry with 60,000 miles is worth about $5000 more than a 2016 Camry with 500,000 miles, which works out to about ~$.01/mile of depreciation.

So in a regime where drivers are compensated for the mileage-based component of the vehicle depreciation, and if the average number of miles per trip is, say 10 miles, you're looking at drivers earning about 10 cents more, per trip.

Congrats on graduating! I started my career during the 2008 recession. I hope things are going more smoothly for you.

My biggest advice and what I wish I'd known back then or heeded better:

Networking will be your savior during this. Find open source projects that you're passionate about and work toward contributing to them. Just help out where and when you can, even if it's just helping to moderate chats, webinars, etc. Depending on the size and organization of the project you'll meet and work with other contributors that use that project in their day-to-day lives at their companies in production. These will be your feet in the door at companies that actually use your passion-project plus you'll learn an incredible amount through osmosis.

A lot of open source projects bring in interns, GSOC, etc type of stuff. They won't expect you to hit home runs. Don't be upset if you're put on documentation duty or editing in the beginning. We all need those skills and some of us engineers get so in the weeds that we forget how to do those more soft skills.

You probably already know all this, I have no idea what compsci courses are like, I didn't have the opportunity to partake in college.

Best of luck bud.
I’m saying that these protocols are getting traction.
I have been loving Firefox for the last year. The only shortcoming for me is that video playback and animation playback (svg/js) is highly CPU intensive in comparison to Safari/Chrome. I basically open Chrome to watch any videos.
"abstraction over type constructors" isn't very meaningful without more context anyway, but they're probably referring to something like the following:

non-abstracted:

map :: (a -> b) -> List a -> List b

abstracted:

map :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b

"List" is a type constructor (it takes a type and returns a type), but we can write a "map" function that works over more types than just List - for example, Maps and Options and so on (aka "Functors" in Haskell parlance). We've "abstracted (the function map) over the type constructor (of the data structure being mapped over)".

To answer your more general question, if you just learn functional programming on a language with a powerful type system (Haskell is probably the most germane example) you will learn at least some of these terms. Most of them turn out not to be very deep, just hard to explain (for reasons unclear to those who understand them), but still very useful.
You probably aren't in a bubble, but the whole edit through the browser, cloud-native editors are really becoming interesting. The interesting part is more the integration of dev, testing and deployment into the editor in a way you just can't do without a lot of devops work with a traditional IDE.
On the other hand we're almost certainly heading for a recession so (you would hope) there would be some reticence to over spend on luxuries like holidays.
I had a very visceral experience of Blub in my formative years. I don't recall how old I was, certainly under 11. I was explaining to my father the many things I could do in LOGO, and he asked about arrays. LOGO supports arrays, of course, but it was beyond anything I'd dealt with. I remember that feeling of entirely not understanding why you'd want to bother with arrays instead of just making more variables.
