They should honestly just cross the rubicon and suspend his account. Playing both sides like they have will only prolong the conflict. Trump and the outrage mill alike will still find things to interpret as fighting until Twitter just pulls the switch.
Is there any reason whatsoever to believe the US would help India in a conflict with China?

I see absolutely no evidence of this being the case. The US has never in the history of India stepped in to help India.

In all likelihood, if IndanandnChina came to blows, the US would simply sit aside and not participate.
I agree that Jack is well-intentioned, but I think he's making a huge mistake by choosing a half measure. Twitter's current policy allows Trump to claim he's being silenced while simultaneously allowing him to get his message out to his Twitter followers. It's the worst of both worlds.

Twitter should either let him tweet whatever he wants or ban him.

My recommendations to my employer are based on many things, including overall security posture. The world's best engineers ship memory unsafety bugs in C and C++, including modern C++. Your statements belay an overall lack of respect for the problem space, which in my experience leads to an increase of issues, even above the general steady state.

You're the one who's been regularly deciding to comment on my posts trying to convince yourself that everything you're doing is fine, and you can't do better. "People like [my]self" are just telling you that you can do better, and only when you decide to go out of your way to start shit.

I'd prefer if you stopped commenting on my posts.
There is nothing wrong with writing generic code that works both with functions and function objects. Note that stateless (empty) function objects can often be more efficient than function pointers.
"It exploited the colony and local residents of HK as much as China does now."

If by 'exploited' you mean 'foisted Hong Kong to an immeasurably higher standard of living than the mainland, and protected them from the brutal oppression of the CCP, and enabled HK to be an example Asian country, one of the most sophisticated nations, with one of the highest GDP/capita in the region and world' ... then ok.

And of course 'The CCP now' will brutally oppress HK, bring them behind the curtain, throw away any legal process, watch their every move, subject them to any number of controls and censorship ...

So that's one funny way to look at it.
it's not how it works if you don't want to get harassed and attacked on twitter (and not on twitter), but you won't actually go to jail over it.
I think there is (or was at least) a combination "dumb money" and a general oversupply of VCs, which means that they can't be too aggressive in vetting deals. Note that for example Theranos did get turned down by a number of VCs, but they got lots of money in the end anyways.
Nothing wrong with shipping slow SMR drives, the issue is, it was never explicitly disclosed to the customers/end users.

IT IS NOT WORKING. To someone outside your bubble you look like a crazy person. Even if you're right, that's not a good look.
There are more than enough reasons to dislike, disagree with, hate or fear Trump, but for some reason you people are fucking incapable of finding them and instead hang onto these bizarre conspiracies.
>There is no such a thing called gradual independence.

The statement was "gradual changes towards independence". Are you saying it is not possible for a territory to take any steps that might lead towards independence or make it more likely?

Blatantly taking statements out of context and intentionally misrepresenting them is not appreciated.
I don't know about cultural constraints, but as a kid, one my favorite parts of food was goat bone marrow. In South Asian goat curries, you add sliced-in-half bone. Getting the marrow out is a combination of sucking and biting and chewing, which helps a lot with Jaw strength.
People act like Juicero was claiming they had some crazy proprietary way of squeezing bags, and when it turned out you could squeeze them by hand the game was up, but that's just not true. Nespresso hasn't collapsed because some plucky journalist ripped open the little capsules and stuck them in a Cafetière. We all know nespresso is just coffee in little pods.

Juicero was selling a lifestyle product to people who wanted super premium juices. It was for the sort of person who buys stuff from Gwyneth Paltrow, has a siphon coffee machine and gets teenagers blood injected into their face to stop aging. While that's not the vast majority of us, it doesn't mean there isn't a market for it.

"Magic Leap: Spatial Computing for Enterprise"

you gotta love whoever come up with "Spatial Computing for Enterprise".
I've seen a bunch of videos on Youtube where a Linux user is basically analyzing problems in the UI of common desktop environments for Linux and compares them to how the UX is on other OSs. Not sure if those youtubers are actually developers working on the patches because they also report when something they complained about gets fixed.

AIX was one of the earliest Unices to include a proper service manager, the SRC back in 1990. AT&T Unix System 5 had the too-often-forgotten SAF in 1989 with a lot of things that look familiar to a modern eye. But it did not extend beyond the "port" model of ttymon and listen. The SRC did.

AIX was also, hand in hand with the SRC, one of the earliest Unices to do away with run levels. With the SRC present, there was only the one run level. Everything else became reserved.

Some people erroneously think things to be novelties that AIX was doing 30 years ago.

How to Find the Perfect Custom Software Development Firm
As somebody from the UK I have been watching the situation in Hong Kong with great sadness. China have clearly broken the contract by which Hong Kong was given back and I would support my government if they decided to take action in order to protect the freedoms of Hong Kong citizens.

That said, I don't believe the solution here is to move every Hong Kong citizen en mass to the UK. Regardless, there would be many trapped there under the Chinese regime.

Just do this but for other job sites and aggregate. You seem to know Pieter Levels from your Make book reference, and I'm not sure if Remote Ok has an RSS feed or Slack notifications but this could be a pretty useful feature for that.

Also add categories and keywords to filter by for Upwork jobs if you haven't already. Contact Upwork users directly and message them about your product. Do things that don't scale as they say. I'd say contact maybe 500 people and see the response and subsequent sales. You could also contact marketers so they can post their jobs on your platform perhaps. There are many ways for future development it seems to me.

You can email me if you want more advice, I run a SaaS as well (https://getartemis.app) and I do some of these marketing tips I talk about.

I did a lot of street acid as a teenager and it caused me a lot of problems it seems. Only did some half decent psilocybin shrooms once, more recently (but years ago), but I liked the fact that I actually came down, acid seemed to just linger and linger long after the main trip was over.

Decentralized prediction markets also offer global liquidity, so the counterparty can be located anywhere on earth. Also the friction and fees should be much lower. If someone in Mongolia wants to bet a million dollars against someone in Colombia today, it’s extremely hard to do without a blockchain (think about the fees and time to wire the money, who would you be wiring it to, etc). Prediction markets are not just for gambling, by the way. They could be used for earthquake insurance, for example.

I used to also target Aix back in the .com days.

One thing that surprised me, but also made me feel quite at home, was that originally Aix adopted the same model for shared libraries as Windows, including import files.

As far as I can tell, this has been superseded by the traditional UNIX ELF model, although they are still supported.
Hahahahahahahah!
I've seen both Optional<?> return null (inexperienced dev) and somebody arguing we should defensively check for null Optionals as well (experienced dev).

What you're arguing is a false equivalence. In practice null safety isn't a problem when developing in Kotlin while it is a big problem in Java.

> * Error handling always ends up being non-existent or of the quality of "begin, for, if, while, repeat, identifier, number, float expected" with no good way to override what happens

Probably true in many toy-versions.

However parser combinators are very well suited for overriding the default expectation error messages with something custom. For example using a custom combinator `<?>` with low precedence.

parseStatement :: Parser Statement
parseStatement = parseIf
<|> parseBlock
<|> parseWhile
<|> parseRepeat
<?> "statement"

No the parser won't enumerate all the options, but now can give you a high level expectation.

> * Recovery is usually impossible

There are a bunch of error correcting combinator libraries out there.

Also, when using monadic combinators you can do all kinds of retrospective work while parsing. Probably more expensive, but entirely possible. Some pseudo Haskell example:

parseHtmlBody :: Parser Html
parseHtmlBody =
do parseOpenTag "body"
contents <- parseHtml
tag <- tryParsingClosingTag "body"
when (tag /= "body") $
raiseWarning ("expected </body> seems like something else: " <> closing)
return contents
I think that's pretty much what they're already saying?

While this is clearly aimed at personal use, I wonder if it could be extended to serve as a lab notebook for a small research group.

Storing time-stamped, signed Markdown notes with version control and with some hierarchy (daily notes, brainstorm ideas, versioned lab protocols etc.) would be great.

Right now I use on site GitLab & private GitHub repo, but for the not computer savvy users this seems to be too much. Ability to add images to documents using menus/mouse is crucial.
> Once you start using force many innocent people will be caught in the crosshairs, this will only further escalate the situation.

I don't have a dog in your fight, but you are aware that "arresting them" is literally done by force, right? And from what I hear, whether you send in the National Guard or a militarized police force is primarily a political difference, not so much a question of escalation.
As an end user, I don't care about your web fonts, and I suspect others think the same. Usually designers push for them with concerns of brand image and consistency between platforms. I couldn't care less that I get a different font on Linux than what you design for on your Mac.

On the other hand, I care about the loading time of web sites and the privacy issues brought by the pervasive use of Google Fonts.

Huh, funny enough, a guy I worked with in Germany had a similar experience but felt very different about it.

He disliked the strict 8 hours/day(or more during crunch time) butt-in-chair concentrated German work ethic that left him(and me) mentally spent and tired by the end of the day and moved to the UK where, despite the usual putting out fires before a release was due, he gets paid more and can come at work close to 10AM and leave before 4PM while not doing much work most of the time leaving him plenty of energy for fun in the evening and saying he'll never go back to working in Germany.

Can't say I don't envy him. I mean, is life about being as productive as you can for someone else or for enjoying it yourself? Maybe the Brits have it right.

So true, people unfamiliar with the inner workings get amazed but unfortunately reality is not the same. That being said, I can find multiple ways of utilize this in a bad way.

Perhaps not for the first 10 years. But 60 years and two generations later, it doesn't make any sense at all to refuse to recognize the independence of a self-governing group of over 20 million people.

With a large number of meetings, it is very convenient to keep them in front of your eyes. I tried to use various applications from AppStore, but they were inconvenient and sometimes were completely abandoned.

It's pretty established that individual Mastodon nodes are able to impose the rules they want and network with whichever Mastodon nodes they want. And many popular Mastodon nodes have stricter rules than Twitter, so it would hardly be surprising if they shunned someone who broke rules on Twitter.
This. I have worked and developed on the HoloLens; it is 20% cool tech demo and 80% cardboard propped up by Microsoft's over-eager marketing (think Xbox Kinect). Only difference between them and Magic Leap is that Microsoft has a large swath of existing gullible enterprise customers who will happily buy whatever superfluous products they can be talked into buying, whereas I guess Magic Leap's core competencies are on the opposite end, selling to gullible VCs.
Cybercriminals Are Exploiting Fear About the Pandemic
I'm reading the tweet more like 'I will authorize the use of deadly force by the military against the looters'. Although I could see several interpretations

But I think the real thing people aren't able to come to grips with is how Trump uses the media in such a style that gives him all plausible deniability, builds outrage AND builds support. All at once.
Talent wasted on poor ideas is better than talent doing nothing. Wearing every hat is hard, otherwise more people would do it. Few people worth working with want to join a team that wouldn't exist without them.

UPS Adds Peak Delivery Surcharge to Manage E-Commerce Demand Amid Coronavirus
As a Python programmer, I've found that since I started using `mypy` I've written a lot more classes - I generally like using multiple small functions, but classes have two big benefits for me:

1. I don't have to repeat / import type signatures as much

2. I can collapse a bunch of related functions more easily in my editor.

So functional programming (in python at least!) has a few things to solve regarding ergonomics for me to return to it.
Now, Twitter also protest against @realdonaldtrump.
He has never considered them "his own people."
I've done my own share of protesting (living in Eastern Europe forces you to do that sometimes) and we never resorted to looting. If we had done so I would have expected the powers that be to take some counter-measures that would have involved more than strong verbal reprimands, yes.
Sounds a lot like macOS.
He attacks people on Twitter and pretends he can literally do what he wants without consequences — whether from the government and rule of law or in this case, a private company.
