Thank you for your thoughtful words. I recognize that you are well intended and I'm going to try to politely disagree.

Scott Adams lost my respect the moment he became a Trump supporter. For all of Trump's supporters I could still give a pass for the initial excitement of "stirring shit up", but I remain, quite frankly, stunned that anybody with any intelligence could support the man today.

Jordan Peterson seems to be popular because he promotes "the good old days" mentality. I understand the appeal (from afar), but it's more patriarchal claptrap from where I stand. He had a huge test of character when it came out that he was a drug addict, and all I'm aware of is deflection and finger-pointing, e.g., his daughter's statement that doctors in the West didn't have "the guts" to medically detox her father. If I'm omitting anything key there, please let me know as I'm only interested in being "right" in that I'm not operating on faulty data.

In my view, modern conservatism is dead and has been replaced by a literal cult (Trumpism), and in being anti-libtard.

Even though I am a "liberal" I could spend hours pointing out the failure and flaws of those ostensibly represent it. For example, I think Hillary Clinton wanted to be president solely for the achievement. She is a war-hawk and a corporatist, and that her politics are of the "finger in the wind" and not of true passion for change.

That said, she's also incredibly intelligent, accomplished, and experienced and was without a doubt the most qualified candidate to to hold the office when she ran in 2016. She also had a literal industry of hate mongers that demonized her for years. My elderly step-mother loathed the women but could only explain so by repeating Fox News talking points, e.g., "she gets expensive haircuts!"

So here I am again, dancing on the edge of admonishment from @dang for being political in a forum that discourages it. My defense is that I am not a partisan and these discussions are made in good faith.

The concerns I've raised have been heavily politicized, but I consider them to be germane to the fate of humanity and my goal is a (perhaps futile) attempt to reach some sort of consensus.
Sounds like your setup lacks high availability. If you don't believe you need that, then yeah, kubernetes is overkill.
Like any other hosted email client.
No one works in a vaccuum. If students and alumni are paying for prestige, then you need staff to ensure the prestige is maintained and grown. However if students and alumni are paying/investing in education you may need significantly less staff and more professors/teachers.

If you add the staff that a university president brings in to the payroll is the 5 million dollar/year president actually worth more than the 500k/year president?
Hmm as a Guardian reader I can't say I'm entirely comfortable with this. I guess it would be clearly identified as paid content if I came across it on the Guardian website - maybe I should pay the voluntary subscription so they don't have to dine with the devil in quite this way!

On another point, neither can I pretend to be entirely comfortable with the appropriation of the rainbow as a symbol of our solidarity - there are sections of society for whom it represents a rather longer struggle.
Where in the article did you read that that was the only outcome of GDPR? Did you miss how all European companies now need to take privacy seriously?
If you catch the audio on this from the nasa space flight forum (I think?), it was pretty funny. They were speculating if it was a lox purge (vs a methane purge). They assumed lox, since if it were methane, the flare would..... BOOOM.

The timing was very perfect.

EDIT: https://twitter.com/NASASpaceflight/status/12664420878489600... has the audio with it.
The other part of RSA is that mathematicians have been doing math on primes for millennia, prime factoring is likely as hard as we think it is, and RSA, despite being pretty old. hasn't had problems crop up. The only downsides are key length and quantum computing.
This could easily be a nice compiler project. The like operator is quite interesting along with generic functions.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease - contact your representatives. If you contact them about an issue enough they’ll actually get in touch and ask for your input when the issue finally starts getting traction.

I think it goes without saying but they’re far more likely to listen if you’re polite and suggest possible solutions instead of just complaining.
Technically this is not even bubbling, at least not how google implemented it, as I understand. Im not on Twitter but if anyone knows, does this action by twitter actually bubble Trump away form people who otherwise would have seen his feed?

And by freedom of speech and thought, how about for twitter? Arent’t they a private company?
You make it sound like cutting your own hair is the main hardship, which I suspect is not quite honest. What about being forced to walk outside in a mask, deferring medical care, not being able to hug your own {parents, grandparents, kids, grand kids} see other relatives and friends, not visiting many places you want to visit. And a pretty huge economic hit. And seeing more and more folks on the streets on the previously friendly town getting angrier and snappier; etc. etc.

I am not saying we should not "take coronavirus seriously" as you say. I do. But after taking it seriously I still see the current lockdowns in the US as counterproductive. Even if we could get this genie back into the bottle 3 months ago (which is not a given), you cannot now. Many states are open and people travel. Instead of forcing wide lockdowns we should focus on supporting those at high risk or worried and let others back to leading normal lives.

My 2c, no offense intended.
I guess the problem was that the local part has a space. Let's replace it with an underscore and we get:

Which is 111 chars. If it allowed spaces in quotes, which is RFC-compliant:

Thanks for sharing your story and thoughts. For me, a lot of it is wishing I didn't have to "catch up" with certain mathematical or statistical concepts I now run into with side projects and find super interesting.

I'll definitely heed your advice and work on getting past my prior failures.

>...Most emergencies are sufficiently short-term that they don't meaningfully reduce incentives for new producers to enter a market, because there's no time to adapt.

That is simply wrong. Before all these price gouging laws, in natural disasters there used to be marginal producers (people with a pickup truck etc.) who would load up on some supplies like ice etc. and bring them to the area that was hit to make a quick profit. When the electricity is out and someone wants $12 a bag for ice it would anger you if you just want to keep your drinks cold, but you would think it is a bargain if that way you can keep your insulin chilled:

https://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2007/Mungergouging....

In the long run, high profits during a shortage also mean that suppliers in general will be incentivized to keep a larger stockpile of things that have a good shelf-life since they know they will be able to make good money the next time there is a shortage (more than the storage costs). (Or will incentivize spending money to be more flexible in production in case demand increases for a short time.) If you are going to literally make it illegal to try this, then you better have a government be willing to spend its tax dollars on creating a stockpile rather than spending money on more immediate things that are more likely to get votes. (We've now seen that all the talk of the national stockpile the federal government supposedly had was greatly exaggerated.)

For these reasons, a majority of economists are opposed to 'price gouging' laws. For example see http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/price-gouging/
Hard to compete when there are so many out on streets willing to demolish for free.
One of the things nobody liked to talk about in public when test automation was slowly "replacing" testers is that if you had the testers write automation, they brought none of the engineering discipline we tend to take as a given to the problem.

It's hard to make tests maintainable. Doubly so if you aren't already versed in techniques to make code maintainable.

I wonder sometimes if we aren't repeating the same experiment with ops right now.

I think you underestimate the human desire to consume. Making food at home suddenly makes you want to invest in higher quality ingredients, better tools. Maybe even a bigger kitchen!

How did you come up with remote work increasing savings? It's more of a fact that in economical uncertainty savings will go up.
> I’m so glad ES4 never happened. Bullet dodged. Nice to see that sometimes, at least, the industry avoids needless suffering.

You're so glad now most shops use Microsoft Typescript when there could have been an open standard and implementation in all browsers 13 years ago? Because JS still ended up having classes, and no, they are not "just functions" since you need to call them with the new operator or it yields an error. Ultimately we've got the worst of both worlds, with Microsoft typical EEE cherry on the top.

I'm not glad we wasted all these years because of petty political infightings at ECMA.
I like it, but then I have adopted a style very similar to that in the last 3 or 4 years: format expressions to approximate their syntax tree, with closing symbols aligned with the line that opened the sub-tree. Essentially, K&R indentation for ALL grouping symbols, not just curly braces. This way, lines are never very long anyway. Well, especially since my JS code has more of a “Ruby, with a dash of Lisp” style than a “Java” style.
It didn't. You can play it back frame by frame and see that it started beneath SN4.
And where is that money going?
Just for reference: How far upstate are we talking?
So where does that money go to?

It seems that this freedom of speech and thought is such a vague concept that gets twisted and turned according to whoever wants to make a point. Let’s have a definition to what exactly it is to cover and then we’ll talk. And no goalpost moving after the definition please:)
It doesn't vectorize in an obvious fashion.

But it has occurred to me that one could accumulate the sum in several "superaccumulators", rather than just one as in the present code. (For instance, by adding even terms to one superaccumulator and odd terms to another superaccumulator.) One could then add the superaccumulators at the end. This would allow for vectorization, or for other forms of instruction-level-parallelism.

I haven't tried this, however. My guess is that it would be advantageous for summing a very large number of terms, but maybe not for less than at least hundreds of terms.

One could also use multiple cores, again with multiple superaccumulators. One advantage of computing the exact sum is that the answer then doesn't depend on what order you add things in (any order gives the same exact result), simplifying the use of multiple cores.

This is what these investigators do all day... track money as people try to move it around. They are good at their jobs
Could it be that soon you're just spending that money on other things as clearly your preferences have changed?
> Amazon doesn't provide a way for you and I to report price gouging.

It does, but they don't actually do anything about it. Hundreds of people have been reporting people selling Ring Fit Adventure for hundreds of dollars, but Amazon is still letting them do it.

But FWIW, you click 'Report incorrect product information', then 'Other product details' and 'price issue'.
The problem is when you need to duplicate that server or restore it due to some error, you have no idea what all the changes you made are.

Besides, it's additional hassle and a chance for things to go wrong, the way I have it set up now is that production gets a new deployment whenever something gets pushed to master and I don't have to do anything else.
As to vertical size: how much crap are you going to put into one function, anyway? Other than perhaps some local (nested) helper functions.
Ok, rectify generations of slavery, followed by segregation, followed by institutionalized racism, and that will happen. Crime is linked with poverty, and racism and racist policies are a major driver of poverty in African American communities.
Then the investigators go to that person, and they point them towards you.
> is that the unbelievable bloat in the complexity of our systems is going to bite us in the ass.

My favorite example of this right now is Vitess. Sure, it's a beautiful piece of technology. But, for a usecase my company is looking at, we'll be replacing one (exceptionally large) DB with in excess of 80 mysql pods, managed by another opaque-through-complexity system running on the top of kubernetes (which already bites us regularly even though it's "managed").

The complexity and failure scenarios makes my head ache, even though I should never have to interact with it myself.

Oh, and my current favorite PITA - having to change the API version of deployment objects from 'v1beta1' to 'v1' in over 160 microservice charts as part of a kubernetes version upgrade. Helm 2 doesn't recognize the deployments as being identical, so we're also have to do a helm3 upgrade as well, just to avoid taking down our entire ecosystem to do the API version upgrade. Wheeee!
Interesting how they flip back and forth between kilometre and mile, but never get around to using both, or even acknowledging a relationship in what they are measuring. I'd expect to see more of the C (F) format for temperatures, and km (mi) format for distance.
I am not sure I understand, can you please explain (or link me?)
EC2 instances are fairly predictable.
Mind that features like type hinting in ES4 / AS3 were more about execution speed than about IDE-like error checking. There were times when AS3 was faster than any native browser JS, exactly because of this (and due to faster object lookup, as well).
The trick is to actually get them to demolish the things we want demolished instead of the nearest Target store.
Wouldn't be prudent...
> The worst feeling was hanging with peers that you felt they were way beyond your skills and seeing how everything was "natural" to them.

This is what is most painful for me. In high school I was hailed by my friends as "highly adept at science" and we got into all kinds of crazy - albeit somewhat educational mischief. For context, this group of friends came together after we all competed and placed in the first division of the Intel ISEF engineering competition. I was one of the only people in the group who didn't go to Stanford, MIT, get a full ride to U Chicago or go on to become a neuro-surgeon (I'm completely serious, one of these friends completed pre-med in two years and med school in 4).

Maybe my friends were astronomically more intelligent than me and I've picked a bad point of comparison. But the most painful thing to watch in college was others seemingly effortlessly pick up complex math and CS intuition while I struggled and even with help, at times failed miserably.

Though, to your point. Surprisingly with a few years post-college under my belt - my mind has sharpened and become more focused and driven than I ever could have imagined being in college. If anything, something I understand now is that it's futile to try to anticipate what I'll be doing or what kind of person I'll be farther into the future than 2-3 years at most.

Thanks again for sharing.
ex-Covid rate is more likely due to undiagnosed covid. Especially when you look at the excess death rate compared to previous annual rates. (at least last time I looked at the graphs).

But regardless none of it is any good for anyone.

I've been part of many miscarriages and doctors can tell you something is wrong but rarely can they fix anything before 12 weeks.
Yes I downloaded it last week. I got bored doing a Unity tutorial (how to best explain ... what I was doing all felt a bit disconnected from the games I guess?).

I dived right into the Godot tutorial "Your first game"[0] and had something basic running really quickly and I understood most of it without any further reading.

The first step to understanding would be to question your implicit framing. Is it really true that Democrats are uniformly trying to help black people and Republicans uniformly want to prevent that?
I don't understand where you'd get that implication.

Some presumably fairly predictable fraction would have an exam scheduled during the beginning of the epidemic, and a certain fraction of them would have undiagnosed cancer. It seems reasonable to assume significant negative consequences for those people.
I'm a pentester, you generally don't fix the issues you find so much as provide guidance and references on how it might be done. The defenders/app developers are in a much better position to fix most issues, they generally either weren't aware of that class of vulnerability or unaware of a specific method of exploiting the issue. Most web devs, if you tell them you found an XSS, would know what you meant and basic prevention, but maybe not the specific way you exploited it. But I don't go tweak their whitelist or implement better output encoding for them.

That said, you do have to know the defensive side well, even if you don't implement it yourself.
Best memorialized in Dana Carvey's George H. W. Bush impression.
Nah, we already had orchestration systems (a'la chef, ansible, cfengine, and VM images to manage most of that complexity. Worst case scenario, there were always works-100%-of-the-time-80%-of-the-time shell scripts.

Here are some reasons I like JSDoc:

* The syntax is fairly widespread

* Documentation pages can be generated from the comment blocks

* You can use as little or as much as you like

* Still readable without external tools

* Uses block comment syntax

I would generally advocate for a mix of JSDoc for public documentation, and type-checking/type-casting functions for actual runtime checks.

Yes "Your First Game" is a fine place to start even if it tells you to read some other things first. I'm a big fan of diving in to get something running, then searching or backtracking to learn the fundamentals if you need to.

There were a couple of typos in there that I ran into, it shouldn't be too hard with a little programming experience to notice these. I didn't download the finished files because I think typing it out is a much richer learning experience.
I didn't understand the AIDS epidemic until I listened to a podcast [1] where they interviewed a gay survivor. I can't imagine my friends dying off one by one around me from an unknown specter. The government pretending you didn't exist and ignoring you because it was a "gay problem". Society demonizing you.

He said that even after it was understood that AIDS was not transmissible by touch, morgues would refuse to accept the bodies of gay men. When people knew they were at the end of the rope, they would ask their friends to throw their ashes over the fence into the white house lawn. That way as their final act, they could tell the government that their active silence was literally killing people and that even if they considered them others, they wouldn't be ignored.

It's heartbreaking, but I'd recommend anyone to listen to the interview if you don't know much about that period in history.

I’ve worked as a contractor. Was definitely an employee of the contractor company.
This is getting off-topic, but I didn't understand the rationale behind that. Processes running inside docker/k8s are already isolated, so unless you're running something potentially malicious, why would it matter if it's root or not?

(Of course, if you're running untrusted user code, then you'll need every protection you can muster, but I'm talking about running an internally developed application. If you can't trust that, you already have a bigger problem.)
Well, if you had massive dependencies you'd probably look at consuming them as shared libraries making your binary smaller than if you rolled your own solution, right?

The fact that the Godot editor includes the Godot runtime along with its own UI- and graphics stack (if I'm not mistaken?) in such a small bundle makes this even more impressive to me.
That is Puppet, too. But Puppet was easy. K8s isn’t.

Source for that? It's possible but it looked like white as antifa black block kid. The style is literally the same what they do all around the world during the G20 etc. meetings.
Persistant volumes rely on NFS (or a flavor thereof), which is not great for database performance.

But that's a moot point anyways, since Vitess doesn't use persistent volumes - it reloads the individual DBs from backups and binlogs when a pod is moved or restarted.

The government also has fighter jets if it wants to massacre protestors.

The markup doesn’t have to “affordable meaning cheap”; it just has to “affordable meaning someone wants to pay it”. 500 miles is a one day drive away for a truck full of generators. 1000 miles is a team drive and still arrives the next day with a truck full.
