I ported several large code bases off of CoffeeScript last year, mostly to JavaScript, but some to TypeScript. Simply being able to use ESLint is worth it (CoffeLint wasn't even close). I wrote CoffeeScript for years but I don't miss it one bit–especially now that TypeScript has optional chaining!
Yeah, I realize none of this can change. However, if there is ever a breaking version 2.0 on the roadmap, I'll tell you the features which keep me from actually using Rust. The i32 is pretty insignificant. :-)
Switch to edge? You can install extensions from outside of the store.
While I agree with you, detecting garbage text and not reading it out without explicit request sounds like a feature that screenreaders should have.
Your intuition is good, I think it's the terminology/semantics that are causing you confusion. What you're describing is a valid way to make money as a trader, but most people don't call it market making. The wider you quote relative to other market participants, the more risk you take on - because your volume is lower, you have to hold on to your positions longer, exposing you to greater fluctuations in price. Market making is very much about not exposing yourself to this kind of risk.

In real terms, if you quote a penny wide market, there's a much greater change that you can both buy and sell in a short period of time to capture that penny. However, if you quote a 10c wide market (when everyone else is quoting a penny), you might buy shares at $10, but it might be a much longer time before anyone wants to buy them back from you at $10.10 - in fact it might be never, they could go straight to 0!

Again, quoting that 10c spread is perfectly valid, it just means that your edge begins to be less about capturing "flow" as much as it is about predicting the direction of the stock over a longer time horizon.
Agreed. Facebook brekup doesn't make sense nor a google. Amazon has two different businesses.
> Isn't another of the tenets of a justice system the right to face your accuser, not have someone Wizard of Oz behind the scenes bankrolling things because of their own vendetta?

You communicated it better than I. I was somewhat horrified with the outcome because I (perhaps naively) had some belief that this tenet of the justice system had not yet been compromised. But the old adage that we have N justice systems for N wealth buckets (where N in {[rich, poor], [1%, 99%], ...}) seems to be true.

How do you achieve that? It's already ripping through care homes because the people who work in them are unable to shield themselves and simultaneously actually go to work and do their job.
> Why do you have a giant list of potentially stale bugs?

Most places I've worked have a bug log? Priorities balance between new feature development and fixing bugs / tech debt. If a bug isn't high priority, or the feature it was about has been changed or removed, the bug might now be stale - but still exists in a list somewhere.

> The policy described in the linked-to article is roughly equivalent to saying that every bug/issue must be passed to someone, who is in charge of that issue, including closing them.

It's the opposite, it's saying that if the bug / issue isn't easy enough to be solved right then, it needs to be reported again later, or added to the official prioritized road map.

> What happens if the stakeholder's sanity runs out first?

This is a good question :)

That seems cool, but we haven't really needed anything fancy. As engineers, we are always trying to build solutions and over-complicate things, but sometimes all you need is for some people to just agree to do something (like posting a status message), and then everyone needs to hold each other accountable like adults.
If I'm reading it right, they report an IFR from 0.49% to 0.81% (95% credible interval). Ballpark population of England is 50 million. Herd immunity at ~70% means over 200,000 deaths at median IFR of 0.63%. Extrapolating to US population of ~350 million is around 1.5 million deaths.
Maybe..?

I can imagine an alternate 2020 where an independent Instagram is growing like a weed and the founders are much more wealthy.

You seem incapable of understanding that people in demographic groups cluster. The problem is most of my dads friends and associates are over 60. You can only get herd immunity by infecting 60-70 percent of THEM. A high infection rate in the under 45 set does NOTHING to protect them.
Part of this is because the standard format encourages including shit that no-one cares about, or that a glance at the issue tracker or repo activity would (should...) clarify immediately if anyone wants to know. If your "no blockers" updates could be written by a very simple script maybe don't bother with those parts.

Or, god, worse if it's manager-centric and everyone's listing every little damn thing they did yesterday just to make sure they sound sufficiently busy. Ugh. No one gives a shit (except your manager, if they're bad and letting standups be used this way) do you need anything? No? Then move on.
> Economic incentives for innovation and disruption are greater when a monopolistic entity is over charging for it's good or service.

Care to back that up, or are we supposed to take your, frankly, very unorthodox views at face value? Every industry I can think of with entrenched monopolies sees almost no innovation until things get so bad that they are finally disrupted: aerospace, energy, advertisement, telecommunications, and the list goes on and on.
The big problem with this is the extreme mediocrity of every other industry. Amazon and Google are winning everything because none of their competitors have even attempted to do better than they did 10 years ago.

Amazon should have won in very few of the markets it entered. Instead, its competitors just decided to lie down and die, with a couple of yelps on their way to their death.
Telecom, etc. are far, far more harmful IMHO
I am not sure if you read the article at all.

(i) The article points out there can be some long term gains as well as has been seen in the past, for example, with self-empowerment of labour class. Currently this is seen, as the author points out, with polls showing governments keep to work together more in future for Green New Deal. Another example would be society as a whole being more supportive of fundamental scientific research; Companies adapting to new ways to work-from-home (Twitter made news recently allowing employess to WFH forever even after the pandemic ends) and so on.

(ii) The author argues against the ecofascism ideology giving examples why it is bad which is against your idea that a deadlier pandemic will help. Why would end of tourism industry be good for the environment? Tourism industry in a lot of cases helps sustain the habitat for wildlife (see sources in the article).

(iii) Was it US or China that pulled out of the Green New Deal earlier this year? We do not know what the future will bring but we can already see which global economic power is currently handling the crisis better.

So short answer: Maybe.
If you were going to bother, you'd split Amazon and AWS. Amazon becomes mostly a retail company again. Without the AWS subsidy margins, they'll be down to retail margins and the ad business (with ads, it's plenty). They can perhaps keep the gadgets, splitting every major aspect apart might be going too far.

AWS is a $400 to $600 billion market cap company right now if it were trading on its own, based on its operating income and the insatiatable market demand for anything cloud. The ticker is even available conveniently. They'll get to $150+ billion in sales and $25+ billion in operating profit in the next six to seven years (average of 21% annual growth over seven years; very much within reach). It might approach being a trillion dollar company a decade from now (at MSFT type multiples).

You'd split Facebook and Instagram as the most obvious separation line (and then do something with WhatsApp, it can be spun off or go with either or; FB already has messenger, so it probably shouldn't go with that entity).

Instagram is a $100+ billion publicly traded company on its own plausibly. There is some question on erosion in both FB and Instagram once you detach them from eachother. They both lose a huge protective moat and cross promotion (Instagram has become a lot more mature at this point, it'll be more at risk to userbase erosion going forward, versus say five years ago; and FB is definitely at high risk for userbase erosion with fewer moats).
If you take the low end of the prevailing IFR estimates (~0.5%), the 5700-odd deaths would mean an infection rate of ~12% in London (population ~9M). If you assume 40% of deaths are not properly reported as COVID-19, that gets you to around 20%. But NYC, with a similar population, has had three times as many confirmed deaths, and antibody tests there suggest a total infection rate of 20%. LA antibody tests indicated something like 4%. I'm betting that when antibody tests are done, London will be lower than 20%, and the other areas are likely at the low end, or below, this estimate of 5-14%.
That's beautiful. However, if I weren't an only child in two weeks I would take exception to that "old" bit describing the Uncle.
Standups as status-updates is an awful antipattern that turns so many people off agile - and specifically Scrum.

Standups where each person takes their turn and recites the mantra: 'Yesterday, worked on ticket HN-1234. Today, I'll still be working on it. No blockers.' Sure - if that's all you do, do it asynchronously. Please. Preferably by just updating the Jira ticket, not posting it in Slack. Or... just, don't, because apparently this has no impact on what you do.

If all that happens in the standup is everyone shares what they did yesterday, what they're going to do today, and what's blocking them, then... then what? We shared a bunch of information across the team. What are we going to do about it? Is Dave going to change his plan for the day to instead help unblock Karen? Is Peter, now he has heard what Rachel did yesterday, going to do anything different than he just said he was going to do?

Daily standups are best when they are really daily replanning meetings. As a team - look at the goal for the sprint. Is it still the right goal? Are we going to get it done? Did anyone do anything that gets us closer yesterday? Does the plan for what we do today still seem like the right thing to do to get us there? Is anything interfering with our chances of getting there?

Everyone leaves knowing what everyone else on the team plans to do to move things forward today.
> Hm, I think you and I mean a different thing by 'national security'. I think of, like, spying, or trying to insert malicious vulnerabilities in software (attack), etc.

Supply chain security is also part of national security. Economic (in)dependency is also part of national security. Economic well-being and competition is also part of national security. There's more to national security than espionage and military capabilities. You don't have to agree -- it doesn't matter if you don't because the people work in the national security apparatus do think that national security encompasses all of that and more, and their opinion matters a hell of a lot more than your typical HN commenter's (mine included).

It seems that all the recent cases by the DoJ have been motivated more by a desire to poltically pander than solid legal precedent.
Yes, it would be one thing if this was an antibody/serotological testing result and we could add it to the mix of similar studies, like the ones suggesting ~1.1% rate in Spain (with 5% infected) or ~0.8-1.0% rate in NYC (with 25% infected). But this is not empirical data; it's pure modeling.

Then you misunderstood my comment because what I said was that because of its market share and age, it isn't the one to beat in terms of design, because we have no sensible way to judge how good its design is, even in comparison to other languages. The sample size is just too small, and the experiment too young.
In my opinion, the main problem here is that PeerTube is more expensive to host than, for example, Mastodon or Pleroma. The model is not going to be well-suited to drive-by creators hoping to sign up and start uploading in 5 minutes, because the cost of hosting that user is pretty high for the instance administrator.

With this initiative, I hope to start bootstrapping instances which are comparible to cooperatives. When money and content start flowing into the ecosystem, I hope it'll push for more development towards improving the user experience for non-creators, and provide a bunch of good content to incentivize federation. I hope to see more instances (and better upstream support for instances) which are not focused on uploading/creating - but on consuming - then make this the path that most users follow to participate in the network.
In Amazon's case, there's actually a lot of shareholders that would like to see AWS spun off into a separate business.
It's dangerous for us all to be so dependent on a few companies. I doubt that's what motivates the DoJ in this case, but right now, if you have a problem with Google, you have to post a cri de coeur on Twitter or Hacker News and hope it embarrasses somebody at Google enough to take action on your behalf.

More competitors in the advertising and search space would certainly help, or at least keep the situation from getting worse.

As for Amazon, the antitrust enforcers should have come down on them like a ton of bricks the moment it appeared that they were leveraging internal business intelligence to compete with their own sellers. I use Amazon constantly, I have an enormous amount of respect for them, and I value their services a great deal, but come on. There's no point in even having antitrust laws if they don't apply in this instance.

Consider that I joined the bank as an intern and college student, but I had been programming for 10 years (almost 100% assembly) including two commercial video games published in my teens.

Even if it is, it could set a precedent that makes it easier for a future, less corrupt administration.

I don't know if the good necessarily outweighs the bad, but maybe it does.
There is not. In more peaceful times smaller trade disputes can be seen as having no national security relevance. But otherwise international trade absolutely is of relevance to national security. And that's as true for perennial exporters as for perennial importers.

It really seems like, from the restaurant's perspective, there isn't an asymmetry of information, the costs are generally well known, the net benefit (increase in business, impact to margin) is empirically known from each restaurant's financial results over the past few years.

At this point the businesses in question have enough information to decide for themselves if they think this whole deal is worth it for them.

No, DMCA safe harbor is transactional: if you respond to a particular takedown, you are protected from liability to the issuer of the takedown for the content. If you respond to a particular counternotice, you are protected from liability to that user for taking down the content addressed by the counternotice.
When I used to do networking tech support for some networking equipment the guy's who sat next to me supported the load balancer product.

I swear a high percentage of their calls were questions about how the load balancer wasn't working and sending all the traffic to one server and then after some investigation we discover all traffic is in fact directed to that lone server... because the client code has the IP of that server hard coded. A tedious discussion would then ensue about how that is not how to do it.

The next week? Same angry call...

Partly that is what inspired my decision to change careers. "Man if these developers can't figure out basic networking, maybe I could be a developer...?"
Fair. I don't follow those projects, so I guess I don't see that public participation.

What I meant is that from the outside, it appears like he's just focused on the work.

You're wrong and right, because "container" is ill-defined. If you run your container in the host network namespace, then there's zero overhead. It's more common to have your container's "nic" be one end of a veth pair. That's not free.

Finally many platforms like docker, in the past, will spin up userspace proxies (docker-proxy) which is even more expensive.

I'm a CPA working as an external auditor for public companies filing 10-K financial statements. Looking for a job in public accounting is hard because audit firms do not have many differing characteristics. The one thing that is different is their clients. Clients are required to disclose their auditor, but obtaining a list of clients by firm/location is very hard.

My app uses public government data to plot US public companies on a map, and includes details on the firm that most recently audited their annual financial statements.

The data sources are:
1. a listing of all Form APs filed to the PCAOB (auditor-client relationship data),
2. SEC company data from the Corpwatch API database
3. Google search API for company locations
