Hindsight is 20/20. Back when KDE was being developed, Trolltech offered free software license claiming "if you create free software; Qt is backed up by a professional organization which won't disappear tomorrow.". On the other hand, wxWindows (now wxWidgets), although having started much earlier in 1992, only had its first alpha in 1997, while KDE was already in development (starting in 1996), preparing for its first beta release. Surely that would be a good time to consider the alternative, you'd say, but why bother, since Qt also had a free license and had a whole company backing it, while wxWindows didn't. Without the foresight, who would you have placed your bet on?

I will agree that the writing is not stolen when you give every line of code produced by you or that you will produce in the future or any code produced by any company you have ever been part of or invested in to me for free to use as I wish.

Until then if you want to read an authors work then you need to pay their (usually very small) fee.
Plain old pip and venv can do that. just "pip freeze >requirements.txt" and elsewhere "pip install -r requirements.txt", inside venvs.
iOS vs. Android Covid-19 Mobility Visualized
There is a balance at play also in terms of human lives. For some incomplete examples just think of old people losing mobility or their social connections because they had to stay home, people that delayed operations or periodic health checkups, deaths and suicides caused by economic downturns.

Even if we were to assume a human life to be incommensurable in terms of money, there are human lives also on the other side of the scale.

This was a bet just like many other situations, to lockdown early and hard was likely the better choice, but the details of that are yet to be seen.

Obama presided over the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and so many other black victims of police violence which sparked very similar protests/riots and birthed the Black Lives Matter movement. Then, as now, he had the same blanket denunciations of civilian violent resistance, support for militarized police crackdowns, and anodyne advice to vote your killers away.

Those responses clearly produced no real change from those turning-point moments. Why would we hope they will in this one?
If you haven’t learned about the US Civil War and Reconstruction, it’s required context for everything around this topic. I’d particularly recommend the recent Chernow biography on Grant and the Blight biography on Frederick Douglass. The civil war & reconstruction are the single most defining events in US history. They’re extremely relevant to today’s politics, racial justice, and identity based partisanship.

In short I think it’s crucial to get an accurate (not “lost cause of the valiant confederacy”) appreciation for how bloody it was and the real stakes (slavery, not “states rights”). How progress was made politically. How there were a few years of positive change before the US backslid into racial patterns of old due to moral exhaustion fighting the south.
CarbonCure Technologies | Intermediate/Senior Frontend Developer | Dartmouth, NS, Canada | Full-time, Remote welcome

CarbonCure Technologies (https://www.carboncure.com) is a CO2 utilization company which injects carbon dioxide into concrete mix to replace environmentally-unfriendly cement. We have been invested in by BEV (https://www.gatesnotes.com/Energy/Buildings-are-good-for-peo...) and have seen adoption in over 180 customers across Canada, USA and Singapore.

Right now we're a small team working on modernizing internal tools, building a backend for the second iteration of our hardware, and improving our customer-facing production information platform. We need a senior or intermediate frontend developer comfortable with React and with experience taking over existing projects.

If you are passionate about sustainability, this is for you. I found this job through a cold call and I'm so happy to be building a software team to enable greener construction. I'd love to talk about it further with anyone interested!

You can reach me at tstamadianos@carboncure.com.
Dependency management can be pretty overwhelming for a lot of people entering Python. This is especially true in the data science realm, where many don't have a SWE background. Even after you have selected a tool, it can be easy to use it in a poor way. I have recently written a short article on how I use conda in a disciplined way to manage dependencies safely: https://haveagreatdata.com/posts/data-science-python-depende...
Incidentally, I think this is the real harm of social media. I really believe our collective attention span is being decreased by infinite-scrolling feeds of content that demands nothing of the user other than clicking a little heart icon.
Another good reason to abolish common law.
Houses are still selling for over asking in the Bay Area as well, although I did see an article saying 2019 prices were down 1.9% over 2018. Rentals are a different market.
If you want rulers to be selected on the basis of ambitions to do good for the people, eliminating any form of popular approval in favour of random selection is highly unlikely to be your best choice.

And the more uncomfortable you make it not to opt-out, the more you'll select for people who've figured out a strategy to benefit from all that power despite the lack of officially sanctioned perks.
I don't like this new definition of the word "hacker". I wish people would call builders and tinkerers something else. We have all this strong history with hackers who are the ones that infiltrate systems. And now someone makes an app and he/she is a hacker. Somehow I feel like there's a necessity to feel special and unique. This word is so soft now.
You want to get all the exploding done before you launch the rocket with crew aboard.

Saturn V could lift 140 tonnes to low earth orbit. Falcon Heavy can lift 54 tonnes to low earth orbit. I think that means it could get a mission to the moon as long as it weighed 38% of what Apollo did. That doesn't sound like a fun trip.

Unless you assemble the moon ship in earth orbit first. Falcon Heavy can launch Orion on its own, or the European Service Module that it requires. I imagine it could launch a lunar lander too. You would also need a booster to send the combination to the moon - the Saturn final stage that did that weighed 100 tonnes, twice what Falcon Heavy can launch. So, maybe you launch an empty booster, and send up a couple of tankers to fuel it on orbit? It's a lot of launches, and a lot of work to do in orbit. That's not impossible (and is cool as hell), but there would be a lot of work to do to make it possible.
A “War on Guns” won’t take the guns from everyone. The “War on Guns” will target minorities just like every other “War on $x”.

See the “War on Drugs” in the “inner city” and “Treat Drugs like a Disease” when it affects “rural America”.
About twice a year I have to remind myself that I will feel much better after overexertion (eg, sweaty chores) if I shower and then finish by turning the water about as cold as I can take it.
I noticed "Remote in DC" on some of the postings - does that include MD/VA or is it limited to the District itself?
20+ years on I've had some good, some bad and some occasionally wonderful. It's not a bad profession, as professions go: things are generally very cushy and you can, from time to time, experience the same elation as when exploring on your own (though, for me, it's getting increasingly rare).

It's a big difference between sating your own curiosity in a hackeresque way, learning about what interests you, programming whatever the heck you like, and working professionally with software development.

If there's a programming job with no specs, no customer demands, no deadlines, no legacy maintenance, no market pressure, no platform preferences or language requirements, please let me know, would you? :)
My community has dropped prices 10% and is offering 1 month free (4 year old complex in north san jose). However they are not offering this to current renters whose renewals are coming up. They offered me a 0% increase and when I cited that the 5 other identical apartments are currently available for essentially 20% off (10% discount over 12 months plus one month free), they began been pushing the narrative that the rent will increase by the end of June and that I should sign now before they change the offer. So now its a waiting game.
Yeah Carl Icahn really got Hertz's ass by losing over a billion dollars of his own money.

They've been making a lot of progress. The BE-4 engine is under development. And their orbital rocket and lunar lander were announced within the last few years.

It's a slow-and-steady approach, sure, but they're making tangible progress.

I'm familiar with the trope, but "news" is not some finite resource we might accidentally use up, so that wouldn't seem to apply here.

Perhaps no one is currently willing to pay for it because (a) they don't have to and (b) a lot of it is utter garbage. It doesn't stand that should these "options" disappear other ones wouldn't take their place, perhaps even ones worth paying for.
The problem has always been the pension obligations, specifically the medical costs. The math cannot be disputed. The reason why it really is different this time is because the Boomers will reach end of life, whether they like it or not, and medical costs rise exponentially in the last few years.

States and localities who were in decent shape until now will be able to weather this storm by raising taxes (even more) on the younger generations. In California, there isn't anymore left to squeeze due to Prop 13.
And how is that different from a physical library.

>I don't condone violence, but at the same time you have to acknowledge that modern American democracy was built on the foundation of political violence.

This is incoherent. You can't claim to not condone violence and in the same sentence say but actually it works.

You act as if I think Democrats are holy saints with respect to equality.

But those policemen probably weren’t wearing Black Lives Matter under their uniforms.....
Considering the number of people and organizations who've suffered the embarrassment of statements that didn't age well, thoughtlessly transcribed by IA, I'm surprised it took this long for someone to try and take them down.

I don't for a second believe this is motivated by anything but people who don't want a permanent public archive of the statements of powerful institutions and people.
Wanted to ask people. I've no idea about politics, and don't want to take thread off topic.... but:

Is fear a major reason for violent police actions?

If I was repeatedly afraid someone might shoot, or I'd come to expect this, I'm sure I would begin to lash out irrationally

I'm not remotely defending anything, and as I say, I don't understand

In almost all the countries I've lived in people are simply not allowed to carry weapons, and so similarly police are equally 'unweaponized'

So again, apologies, but wanted to express the thought:

The root cause of the violence is maybe the fear

And _a_ root cause of that is maybe the prevalence of weapons creating a _potential_ for violence

If I were to guess (from my complete lack of experience and evidence based on the media!! So my guess is fairly invalid), but still, my guess is that this fear undercurrent would also destroy society, not just police relations; it would also lead to pockets with cycles of poverty and brokenness

Again apologies for making suggestions in a place where I don't have experience to comment. But let me still ask: is this suggestion reasonable, or even helpful?
The fact that you call it "politics" shows that it doesn't affect you. This is literally life and death to a large portion of the population.
Ye ... this O() obsession seem to miss the "as n approach infinity" part. It is just a polynomial and the constant term or which ever can be dominating for small n. Especially relevant in embedded where searching small static arrays is a thing.
Not an American. Can you share one or two reforms that you would like implemented. It is hard to grasp what is really going on from a distance.
Did you also delete the copy stored in NSA’s Utah Data Center?
Does that mean that if you kick a hibernating Arctic ground squirrel It will freeze solid?

That sounds both fascinating and horrible at the same time.
Onai | | San Jose or New York | FULL TIME, CONTRACTORS, GRADUATE INTERNS, POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS, VISA

We're tackling exciting difficult challenges and building offerings relevant to interesting real-world problems in a variety of fields. We have particular strengths in dispersed computation, functional programming, cryptography, and deep learning.

We're currently most interested in engineers with solid experience in Rust, Haskell/Idris, or cryptography. We also have openings for enthusiastic developers or researchers who might lack this precise experience but are eager and able to learn. We welcome internship/fellowship interest from postdoctoral scholars or senior graduate students.

We're additionally interested in chatting with people with a scientific/engineering background who are interested in healthcare research.

We do not presently have openings for current/recent undergraduates.

Send your resume to info@onai.com and we'll let you know if there's a potential fit.
Now that I think about it, you are right about there being more concessions. You are seeing a lot of "2-3 months free" listings now.

Do companies really have any other choice but to hand out a bunch of cash to senior management? Nobody really wants to hang around and go down with the ship, but someone has to stick around to manage the reorganization. These weren't bonuses to "walk away" with cash, these were bonuses for them to stick around.
$16 million over 340 employees (if you believe the article) is $47,058.82 per. Not exactly a golden parachute if you ask me.
There's an entire 1/8th complete housing development at Diablo Grande that looks like the result of a nuclear holocaust from last time someone thought people would commute 3 hours for the luxury of living absolutely nowhere.
Is that chronology right? Were there protests before he was arrested? Was there property damage in those protests?

Even if so, 90% of the protests and property damage were after the arrest, so... they're pointless?
Can't Amazon simply be the one major exception that proves the rule? What other tech company reached profitability after years of not, post-IPO? Using an industry giant as an example seems to be suggesting that such a case can be replicated, let alone replicated multiple times.
But when you sample only Silicon Valley companies including Facebook, the percentage is much higher than 8%.
The biggest advantage of localStorage is that it is, as its name implies, "local" to the site you are visiting. Cookies can be shared accross domains and sites you visit, but localStorage can not. If one on domain you store `localStorage.ID = 5`, you can not read that from another domain, as `localStorage.ID` will be undefined in a different domain context.
It's the last way the people have for their voice to be heard. All laws come from the people governed; legislatures serve at their behest and for their interests. If you have SO MANY people decrying an action -- it's direct democracy in real time.
> not a predictably small enough workload

Which means ISRs can grow too big. And that’s the reason keeping ISRs as small as possible should be your goal.
Not necessarily... SF could copy a policy from Amsterdam or Copenhagen. My point is just look for a working example and model it off that. You're look for an arbitrary semantic difference to invalidate it. SF has the budget of some small countries and California has a budget bigger than actual countries. The money isn't the issue--it's how it's squandered and wasted on unaccountable half-brained solutions.
With that reasoning, anyone who supports the modern American state has to condone violence, because it was founded on it.
The large majority apparently can't distinguish between a handful of policies, because if they could, money and power would not have the ability to influence elections, nor would charisma, yet sortition assumes they would make good leaders. I don't see it.
People without kids aren't gonna move to the suburbs because of viruses/riots. Subrbian life is optimized for families.
I think that will end up installing the subdependency version of whatever is last in the requirements.txt. You need a dependency resolver to deal with problems with conflicting versions.

This was no regular interview, it’s quite dishonest of you to say that. Second, be honest; do you have any stake in the game yourself? Do you work for microsoft?
Why use such off topic examples? Isn't it more like

> They are advocating that Six Flags should ban people who tell people around them "Hey if you try to burn or rob that snack stand, that security guard might shoot you!"

AFAIK this is more aligned with the presidents comments that everyone is in a hissy about. Would you consider that a bannable offense at Six Flags?
Analytics from server logging breaks in the cases where either:

- Page navigation often happens client-side (so most dynamic SPAs)

- Content is often cached and/or served from a CDN (so most non-trivial static sites)

In reality, nowadays most page loads don't ever touch the origin server, for a wide range of good reasons. Including analytics in the client-side page sidesteps that whole problem.

To say nothing of the fact that there are about 20,000 books at Project Gutenberg and countless other (legal) short stories, books, articles, etc. around the web. (And that's before talking video and other multimedia.)

It's not like there is some critical shortage of things to read online in the absence of the IA.
macOS needs that extra 8GB due to all the bloat nowadays.
The builder/tinkerer meaning predated the infiltrator meaning by like a couple of decades, but whatever, okay, zoomer.
Assume that like most things, there's decreasing marginal return in terms of growth for each individual employee. If your goal is grow as much as possible to pump the VC valuation, it makes sense to hire more people to get stuff done. Probably not sustainable. Probably dips into the negative frequently.
Before the bump in the move-out offer minimum, they could have done an Ellis Act eviction if they wanted to recover for their own use while paying you the minimum possible. (Actually, Ellis Act is one of the only eviction types allowed right now.) That said, it sounds like they wanted to have their cake and eat it too, so it's too bad you didn't feel like taking them to task.
Absolutely agreed, the word used to carry a good bit of street cred but now everyone and their grandma is a hacker.
See my comment above, localStorage can not be shared between domains as cookies can. So it's a lot better for privacy. With localStorage you can only track multiple visits of a user on the same site, not across sites.
I agree with almost everything Mr. Obama wrote.

But...

I feel the complete opposite of “hopeful” when I see these riots, when I see people so angry they will destroy their own cities.

Because it accomplishes the exact opposite of they hope it will accomplish:

1. Those who side with heavy-handed police tactics feel vindicated for their prejudices.

2. The communities of those who feel unheard and left out are torn down even further.

3. Every civilian-police officer interaction post-riot will be even more contentious, thus making violence more likely.

Don’t get me wrong I believe there are corrupt officials and police officers. Obama is right about how to fix that on the local level.

About the actual problem being protested: One of the themes of the protests is to say the names[1] of those have been killed at the hands of the police. Just using common sense tells me that if you can name off the victims it means the problem isn’t widespread or systemic across the country.

Try naming the victims of rape or suicide or even murder.

Name the police officers killed in the line of duty in the last ten years. You can’t there’s way too many.

George Floyd should not have died. And the police officer(s) who contributed to his death should be held 100% accountable for their actions.

But there will always be unnecessary deaths in law enforcement situations. Rioting and burning down your own city will not make that fact go away.

So, I feel a loss of hope when I see these riots. To me, it means we are so far from working together to fix the problems that can be fixed. It creates a bigger divide in our society.

If sortition were issue, rather than term-based, I'd imagine you could use something like a sequestration process for selectees, combined with independent oversight and public transparency rules for the organizations creating prep materials.
