How can they just replace something in the bill passed by the house without the house approving that change? Would that not constitute an amendment? My understanding of the bicameral legislature is that both bodies need to clear the exact language of potential legislation for it to become law. Any change made by either body constitutes an amendment and needs to be approved by the other before the president can sign the bill into law or veto it.
Bongo was by far the most advanced user interface toolkit and editor for Java of its time. It had a HyperCard-like GUI editor AND an interactive script editor that let you build and edit applications and user interfaces while they were running, just like HyperCard, instead of recompiling and restarting every time you made a change.

>Feel the Beat with Marimba's Bongo

>By Chris Baron

>In 1996, four programmers from the original Java-development team left Sun to form Marimba and produce industrial-strength Java-development tools for user interface and application administration. Bongo, one of Marimba's two shipping products, allows developers to create either a Java-application interface or a standalone Java-based application called a "presentation." A Bongo presentation resembles a HyperCard stack -- it allows developers to quickly create an application with a sophisticated user interface, but without the tedious programming of directly coding in Java or C/C++. Bongo's nonprogramming, visual approach makes it ideal for producing simple applications that don't involve a lot of processing, such as product demonstrations, user-interface prototypes, and training applications. Bongo is fully integrated with Castanet, Marimba's other product, a technology for remotely installing and updating Java applications.

This is absolutely not innocuous. China has seen many regimes fail over time. When a regime becomes corrupt and unfit to rule they are labeled as "bad men and bandits". Saying "Communist Bandit" indirectly through cultural reference characterizes Communists as unfit to rule and set to fall from power. Of course conversation and real speech has great value, but we are talking about an authoritarian regime experiencing a bout of paranoia.
There is no substantive difference between prohibiting most of the things people can do outside of the home and prohibiting leaving the home except for things that wouldn't be on that list of prohibitions. The framing of today's shelter-in-place orders is different than the orders issued in the 1918-1919 epidemic, the substance (in outline, details differ because the scope of options available to address is different) is not.

Amusingly, I got: "nonhumanoid, adjective; not having life". It appears that the model would describe itself as lifeless.
It’s part of the reason but not all or, I suspect, even most: the number of things which people need to compute with multi threading but without much I/O is not an especially large fraction of what people use pure Python for. If you need raw CPU speed for arbitrary code, it’s not the language most people would pick.

The exceptions also tend to have existing high-quality extensions (crypto, compression, image processing, etc.) so while it’s technically true that you’re giving up Python most people aren’t doing that personally - they’re just calling Pillow or numpy - or they’re using it for a tiny fraction of the total program.

Frequently this ends up being the same speed or even faster than using other languages because most people are either using the same C libraries or learning just how many optimizations their simple implementation lacked.

Again, it’s not hard to come up with things where the GIL is inarguably a bottleneck but it comes up a lot more in debates than real-life in my experience.

Many years ago at an Apple WWDC event I saw a presenter give a talk about how they used genetic algorithms to find out what the most optimal walk for a dinosaur could be based on its bones and skeletal structure.

I wonder if such an optimal gait could also be discovered for humans, perhaps for different heights, and when carrying different loads. Maybe the best way of walking for a person who is very tall is different from someone who is very short for instance. By constructing random human bodies and allowing them to evolve over millions of iterations, we may be able to discover unrealized walking techniques.

This kind of language is exactly why people respond poorly to the term. Most people have worked hard for the things they have including white people, there isn't a secret check that you get every year for being in the pale people club. If you're middle class or lower there's no reason for a white person to side with a politician who is making their platform based around white priviledge because all it means for them is that they get to get to pay the same taxes to be less of a priority.
Thanks. Came looking for this post. Way too many web developers just assume that everyone follows every nook and cranny of their ecosystem.

At Amazon the most important person is the customer. At Google the most important person is the Google engineer. I firmly believe that's why they suck at selling enterprise products.
I’ve emailed and sent Linkedin msgs to 3 people who work at gcp for cloud credits. They didn’t care. AWS gave us credits + support in less than 3 days. I wish Google best of luck with their 5yr strategy. Hope their enterprise game is better than their startup one.
True, but this also prevents the problem of (or worry of) excessive outsourcing. The company I work for has been actively trying to outsource my department's jobs for coming on two years now, with quite a few vendors, moving about 20 percent of us to managerial positions but the work quality is not of a high enough standard. So with that and the time difference, I'm not overly concerned, but this would at least put away such concerns. Plus, as noted above, there is something to be said from some face to face interaction.
These hits will keep coming. The only way is to fight it by joining the system and setting up a pro-privacy lobby group and fund it. I don’t know how long it can last though. I am pessimistic about this.

It's really hard for me to tell on these issues what is real. I feel like they just have a certain number of senators who are allowed to look moral, but the end result always needs to be that surveillance wins. My gut says that Wyden just happens to have drawn the long straw in a sick game to make the Seante look more moral than it is, but if he needed to vote for it to pass for some reason, he would. This loss is kinda like a carnie saying "oh close one, you almost got it" in a game he knows is fixed.

I would say burfog thinks so. It is basically another license on the code and we have seen decades of debate on those. Never mind patent grants in license or as a separate document. CoC is another social contract and will probably be of increasing importance as cases of their use happen.
> Just want to point out that there's no rational basis for this argument

The argument is that people in lower cost-of-living areas are willing to work for less, a public company's main motivation is profit, and companies lower their profit by paying employees more than is required to hire and retain them.

> What I mind is having to do "async def", "async for", "async with" all over the place for no good reason.

IMO `async for` and `async with` are misnomers - they are statements that call asynchronous functions (`__anext__`, `__aenter__` and `__aexit__`) so would have been better named something like `for await` and `with await`.

`async def`, on the other hand, was just copied cargo-cult-style from C#. I don't think it's necessarily bad, but you're right to say that it's inconsistent with Python's existing generators.
It's not that someone necessarily wants to be a Jira admin, but rather, they want to have access to make changes directly related to their job. If they managing a team in some way, either project manager or some other role, they need to change how tickets are managed in Jira at some point. Maybe create new release versions for tagging tickets, or adjusting the lifecycle rules for a ticket. The easiest solution is to be a Jira admin. Otherwise, you need to find some permission for this user and request it. Then the next change needs a new permission.

I would equate this to an outdated model of Developer vs Sysadmin. The sysadmin controls everything about the production system. They don't want to change anything. The developer needs to release a new version, which needs a new library, or needs an update to the OS, etc. Or they don't even know what the production system looks like and the sysadmin won't help. So the dev wants root access to just fix it instead of going through excessive redtape.
The brick wall (it's unfortunate that there have been overrides in Chrome under phrases including 'badidea' because they encourage people to use them, correct design here is to make the brick wall unpassable, that's why we built it in the first place) is only present if this site has HSTS or similar requiring HTTPS.

If the site doesn't seem to require HTTPS but you've gone there with HTTPS and there's no trustworthy certificate then the browser gives you a different interstitial which has a button labelled Advanced which reveals a link "Proceed to ... (unsafe)" that will switch off further interstitials for this site but retain the "Not Secure" labelling.

The HTTPS site (once you reach it) gets access to all modern features, an HTTP site, even if you ignore all the warnings, does not. As an example that's particularly unsubtle, calls to all the WebAuthn APIs just give back an error as if the user has thumped "Cancel".

Edited to add: Also the grey "Not secure" is changed to red if you seem to interact with a form, because that's probably a terrible idea on an HTTP site. Eventually I expect it will just always be red (the change to notice form interactions was in 2018 and this is part of a planned gradual shift by Chrome and other browser vendors).

I think Deno is fine, and I think the project is interesting, but I also think those who want to use Typescript should do so, and stop pretending they're doing anything with Javascript. If I wanted deal with repetitive code like "function add(x: number, y: number): number {...}" I'd just use Java. There's reasons I love JavaScript, and not dealing with types is one of them. When is Typescript going to have its own version of the V8 engine and just leave JavaScript out of it? Honestly, it harkens back to the classic Microsoft Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy that I though we left behind in the early 2000s...

I like that Deno is resetting some of the underlying assumptions that Dahl made in Node. But I think he's throwing the baby out with the bath water. I actually like and prefer an explicit node_modules directory. Grabbing everything I need, and then being able to zip it up as needed to save or share is convenient and easy. Not sure why so much effort was made to avoid this module pattern. I really think using URLs is going to be a maintenance nightmare. Instead of changing one entry in package.json (great for testing new code or tweaking something locally), I have find/replace all the imports? Seems very odd unless I'm missing something big. Also, not a fan of the hidden .deno cache directory, but whatever.

Having to send along a shell script in order to even start an app is another problem. "Here's a JavaScript file which will do some task. In order to run it, you need to make sure you include these 10 command-line flags for security purposes. To make sure you don't forget them, I've included various shell scripts you can run depending on your platform." That's not improving anything.
I also see this, and I think its worse than that because so many devs concentrate only on the static expression of the code and have little understanding of what things look like at runtime. Ironically, client-side coders are much better at this, thanks to excellent tools. Speaking of tools, server-side profiling is almost always weird and it pays to have someone show you the ropes. (Java has some of the best profiling tools, interestingly).
Health care workers get unusually high levels of exposure, so they are kind of a special case. If you look carefully at the whole numbers the average COVID-19 victim is over 80 and has at least one major chronic health problem already. It makes sense to focus mitigation efforts on this group.
"White privilege" isn't one out of many factors though. It's the underlying reason for why so many factors came together to help you succeed in the first place.

White privilege is having your application go through the first time because your name is spelled how webdevs expect.

White privilege is your assigned recruiter giving the extra 0.x seconds of time to look over your resume if they consider you as one of their tribe and "deserving" of placement. These judgments, while often rationalized consciously post-hoc, really mostly happen at the subconscious level before we're even aware that we're thinking about it.

White privilege is knowing where to start to achieve your goals because there are people in your community that can provide mentorship who have probably benefited from white privilege to the point that they can point you in the right direction and even give you some connections to break onto the scene.

etc.

Your "useful parallel" is relying on tokenism as a sort of reverse no-true-Scotsman attack.
Arguably true, but not as far as I believe you’re implying. The ability of the government to quarantine entire towns and counties has been tested and upheld in the courts over the centuries.

What’s new here is that people are being ordered to stay at home. But putting an imposition on a whole group of people without focusing on infected individuals is neither new nor unconstitutional.
I don't understand that when the incumbent has been voted out, why does he/she still have powers to make decisions?

Shouldn't they be some sort of stand-in and only take care of routine / bureaucratic tasks?

What does that even mean? This is code for “you should feel guilty for who you are” and generally a big reason why people become combative when the term “privilege” gets brought up.
For performance centric uses you tend to run benchmarks and performance tests a lot.

Having production quality hardware for the dev cycle is extremely valuable for these uses.
Provisioning for 2.5x of peak load would be pretty expensive and, in most cases, overly cautious (good luck selling 10x to your financers!). For a large service that wants to be able to handle unexpected spikes, I'd expect something more like 1.1-1.5x margin.

As their blog post says, they weren't unprepared. They had the means to grow and used it. Burning money before that time wasn't necessary.
Since you're asking in regard to bulk storage for games, I assume you're on a desktop?

There are primarily two form factors to consider ...

The 2.5" sata ssds offer nice price per GB. SanDisk and Crucial are two brands I've used that weren't as expensive as their Samsung counterpart, but still provided reliable value and performance. They have 500 GB - 1 TB drives on Amazon right now in the $70-$140 range, new. There's also the Samsung Evo in this form factor, but a little more.

NVME drives (M.2) offer better performance, but for bulk storage, that may not be so relevant. There are lower cost nvme drives in the $70-$80 range for 500 GB. I've only used Samsung NVME drives though, which tend to cost more, but they've never caused issues in my systems.

That's what I made around year 2000. Though I delivered 'Better Pizza, with Better Ingredients'!

Gas was $1/gallon and we got 70¢ per delivery. I asked a friend about 2008 or so, when gas had gotten up to almost $5/gallon briefly (part of the cause of the Great Recession, I'd imagine), and he said they were still getting 70¢ per run. That sucks.

Also, only 1/10 orders used credit cards, so nobody paid taxes on tips - all cash. By 2008, I'm guessing it was 1/3 using credit, and now, with apps, it's probably 9/10 using cards.

But yeah, it was a sweet gig if you weren't the social / beautiful type to be a successful waiter or waitress / bartender. It paid more and was way more fun than making $6-$8 / hour at McDonalds or Target.

Map and reduce are not hard if taught correctly.

But hey, you ask, can’t a list be considered a single value? Yes, of course, so map can be implemented using reduce, making it the most useful FP construct
