Is it illegal to claim a $1M treasure, actually put an IOU in the box, sell $40 maps for a few years, fill the treasure once you break even, then keep subsequent profit?

I supposed you'd have to figure out a way to make the maps single use.
>stating all files in a directory tree

That does seem useful. But wouldn't you want to put this into a library that falls back to a thread pool approach on older kernels? And in that case, it seems like the application doesn't particularly care what the underlying implementation is? Since it's not built around asynchronous execution it just calls some function that blocks until the CQ is complete. This appears to be what the golang runtime will have to do.

I recognize this as being advertised on the podcast "Small Town Dicks" with Yeardley Smith ["Lisa" from "The Simpsons"] and two detectives "from Small Town USA" about actual true crime stuff.

Notification Again: I just listen to the podcast, I've simply just watched 'The Simpsons', and I don't have a cat.

Integer support was added in Lua 5.3 (released in January 2015). It also added binary operators, rendering the bitop module obsolete.

One thing I never understood is the mania for OO programming---I regularly see people announce Yet Another OO Module for Lua on the mailing list, and I have to ask myself, "Why?" Is OO the only thing taught these days in school? There are other ways of organizing code than OO.

No, they’re comparing one physical Intel CPU/socket to one physical ARM cpu/socket of roughly equal price. That seems far more equal than an arbitrary comparison of cores when the architectures are so different.
I code Nim for fun some weekends and agree that totally sucks, and what's worse it seems like it's idiomatic to write Nim that way.

However, for us we can do:

from "./crawlers/leetx.nim" import nil

leetx.fetchLatest()

That forces you to use the qualified version and doesn't contaminate your space.
Sure, if you want to go to jail for tax evasion.
Right right - as I said, "recently have they come to resemble police."

But I think that the distinction is still important as we talk about abolishing police.

Police, as an institution, are very new. Much newer than Sheriffs.
Agree. But would you pay for it?
I don't think Minio is trying to compete directly against S3, especially when they run on EC2 (a service running on AWS will never be cheaper than AWS itself). It sounds like they're targeting a higher-performance S3-compatible niche.
All such advice/regulations is weighing the benefit of imposing the restriction vs. the cost of imposing such restriction.

And, importantly, all this is not in the context of individual risk, but population risk. The distinction is tricky but important, and one that trips most people up. For any single individual, the personal risk from COVID19 tends to be small, often seemingly vanishingly small. However, since we don't have immunity, it will affect everyone and even a small individual risk multiplied by (almost) everyone is a large impact on the population in terms of overall deaths.

Anyway, how many political protests have you attended in the last 10 years? How many social gatherings?

For me, it is easily 1:100, if not more. Thus, the aggregate transmission risk from protests is much smaller, therefore we can be more permissive of them. And it is the aggregate risk that policymakers care about.

On the other hand, political protest is considered a very, very fundamental right of our democracies, restricting it something to be done only with the greatest reluctance.
Write down your main features as bullet points:

* User authentication
* Users can post products to be sold
* Making orders to _other_ users

Move on to the details of those features

* User authentication
-> Social login OR email authentication
-> Usual features like reset password/forgot
-> Most other features will only be available when authenticated

I try to keep progress measured by features and use kanban boards to keep track of it. I don't go overboard with keeping everything in their lane and the checklists updated because I tend to not update things as much as I wanted to.

This is the perfect comment - pedantic, snarky, and more focused on the superficial features of the article than the content, mixed in with some grammatical pseudo-psychology. Check, check, check, and check! This is peak tediousness. Well done!
jokes aside, testing != outcomes; many comments here make reference to testing results taken by others, and then .. what ? Who owns the data ? what is the custody chain of the data ? When it is available, to the highest bidder?

Illness is a weakness, and weakness is used by humans against other humans, everyday. Some psychology suggests that the more removed and remote the decision-making, the more likely to be unfair. Therefore, collecting intimate data on YOU with this device, especially in some kind of mandetory, unescapable way, is the stuff of nightmares for real reasons.

This invention is useful, but its application is no joke. !

I don’t necessarily disagree, but I think a lot of the situations you describe need a peace officer with legal authority to arrest. They mostly don’t need deadly force, and I think the walking threat of deadly force that gun carrying cops represent changes the situation often for the worse.

This is a good point, I think youtube has the potential to bring back DIY repair because its much easier to watch someone do and describe each step of a task than it is to decipher a service manual. Our language is severely deficient in ability to precisely describe physical, tactile, geometrical relationships of small parts and manual tasks.

> They force you to not share memory on a single system,

So instead people use a single SQL database between 20 microservices.

> give you scale and failure isolation,

Only if you configure and test them properly, and they actually tend to increase failure and make it harder to isolate its origin (hello distributed tracing)

> force you to handle the fact that a called subroutine might fail because it's across a network

They don't force that at all. It's good when people do handle that, but often they don't.

> I would argue that if you're manually scaling things then you're doing it wrong

And I would argue that if people are given a default choice of doing the wrong thing, they will do that wrong thing, until someone forces them not to.

Microservices allow people to make hundreds of bad decisions because nobody else can tell if they're making bad decisions unless they audit all of the code. Usually the only people auditing code are the people writing it, and usually they have no special incentive to make the best decisions, they just need to ship a feature.

> 38 US police officers were shot dead in the line of duty last year. The UK had 3.

The UK has a population of 66 million people. The US has a population of 328 million. The UK has 123k police, the US has 687k.

They're not equal but I think you might be exaggerating the differences by comparing very differently sized countries.
I wonder how much longer the words "A1 material" will even make sense to people? Like, they will probably think you are talking about quality of meat or something.

Newspapers; I'd almost forgotten about them.
That solves part of the problem. If you can turn it on and off with a feature flag, then you probably have some modularity. But for an internal service, or a SaaS offering, or any number of things, where, you have one application that you need to scale, do feature flags really make sense?

EDIT: The above was not fully considered. I think the original article makes a really good point about this:

>Splitting an application into microservices gives finer-grained allocation possibility; but do we actually need that ? I would argue that by having to anticipate the traffic for each microservice specifically, we will face more problem because one part of the app can't compensate for another one. With a single application, any part (let's say user registration) can use all allocated servers if needed ; but now it can only scale to a fixed smaller part of the server fleet. Welcome to the multiple points of failure architecture.

Having a monolith where each feature is deployed separately according to feature flags makes some sense in that you have one codebase, deployed modularly, like microservices, but you still leave yourself open to the "multiple points of failure arhitecture" as the author describes it. In addition, the feature flags idea doesn't really remove the deployment disadvantages of the monolith, unless you're willing to have different parts of your horizontally deployed application on different versions.
Virtual Future and the Arts Exhibit at Mori Museum
I agree completely with this post.

If you happen to know the runway time you got before things start to fall apart economically, I don't think there's much to argue regarding code quality (and general maintenance of the platform).

In large companies, projects usually have a budget and some desired launch date. If that launch date is not met, your _worst_ case scenario is you're fired. While your best is the acceptance that It just got delayed by whatever factor affected the outcome.

With small companies, your worst case is you're fired and the company could go bankrupt (or something as bad).

Now, OP said he was at a mid-size company and I'd like to believe he could be a beacon of change as the company grows. Maybe all the other seniors were used to work in startups and just can't fathom doing development any other way.

Bottom line is, your expectations might be off depending on the scale of the company and their current objective.
Why not Factor? :P
My favorite part of the paper that used field experiments to demonstrate that rice in Hunan is a Giffen good for the poorest consumers [0] is the cheeky inclusion of this quote from George Stigler:

> Perhaps as persuasive a proof [of the “Law of Demand”] as is readily summarized is this: if an economist were to demonstrate its failure in a particular market at a particular time, he would be assured of immortality, professionally speaking, and rapid promotion while still alive. Since most economists would not dislike either reward, we may assume that the total absence of exceptions is not from lack of trying to find them.

In Defense of Bad Ideas
In Opensuse (release, haven't used Tumbleweed) I found it easy to install debuginfo and debugsource packages.

In Ubuntu I found it slightly confusing to locate debug symbol packages. I understood (or misunderstood) that there are 2 options where to find debug symbols and it just depends on the package maintainer how it's done. I did not find how to install debugsource at all.

By doing debugsource I mean the source that has all the patches applied exactly as during the build and is in the same path as the symbols suggest.
Hmm, perhaps, but I find that book indices can be better than a raw search of some term (easier to find more substantial entries).
This is an exhibit of futuristic art at the Mori Museum in Tokyo that happened to run into the quarantine period. Since the exhibit had to close early they put it online.

I think this is something we need to study somehow even if it feels very true. I often find myself wondering why they’ve made something worse than it was a few years ago. Many parts of iOS and windows 10 have degraded from what they were.
Unfortunately not. I'm always looking to feature game developers on Grid's site, though!
I’m pretty much in agreement with everything you said, but all I can think about is how even the worst video is almost certainly better than someone’s slideshow from a technical talk shared online with no transcript or other context. I’ve seen these shared quite frequently from tech conferences, and I fail to see how anyone gets any value from those things.
Being an American (Naturalized), I am unable to understand where are we headed. It's often said that America always bounces back. That American spirit and innovativeness is unmatched and capable of overcoming any obstacles. However, the current environment feels surreal. We have had the most Covid infections and most deaths in the world. Mass protests against police brutality, being met with more police brutality. Widespread looting in the shadows of the protests. Toxic politics deeply dividing people. Sometimes I get calls from worried (and shocked) relatives living in other parts of world, inquiring about our well being and why things are so bad in America. Where are we headed relative to rest of the world? Is America going to be the leading light for the world again?

It is pretty clear that you and the parent's author aren't using the same definition of "systemic".

It is very difficult to devise reasonable plans of action when the core terms in the dispute are ill-defined. There also seems to be a current of thought that any attempt to clarify or analyze the situation is an attempt to diminish the grievances. This anti-intellectualism coupled with the chaos and violence of a mob is frightening.
Well, science is partisan the moment it is being applied at all.

The most science can tell you is what are the consequences of some act. Deciding if they are good or bad and if they are worth taking is a completely politic act.
In general I prefer to read than watch technical content. When you read you can go at your own pace, reference a paragraph/graphic from earlier in the article, reread parts, go fast or slow. Whereas a video it's hard rewatch by rewinding. Limited to 2x max otherwise can't hear a word.

Video is more limiting.
It's not my age and knowledge, it has been this way since before I was born in the case of the derivatives of C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_languages_used_in_...

The most ubiquitous languages used in the most highly trafficked websites in the world are Javascript (1995), PHP (1995), Python (1990), C++ (1979), and Java (1994).

No, I do not keep up with individuals' blogs and articles. I am very familiar with the O'Reilly books mentioned by one of their authors in another comment in this thread, however. And it's a universally accepted truth at this point that Stackoverflow and blogs are poor replacements for them.
It's definitely not possible to be scientific with this stuff, but I really don't agree. While the 90s were definitely not utopia, the dark edgy stuff was surface and there was a great deal of optimism underneath. Today I would say its backwards with fluffy happy pop culture masking a very deep malaise.
Yeah, it really does. There's also a lot of nuance in repairing something and I think most people gloss over things they've learned over the years. They forget all the details when writing out how to do something but the video preserves it. You see tricks they don't even realize they're doing.
It is React based on the unminified source files that I can see.
It's definitely not the worst to be overly well read in programming literature. But oh man does it get old arguing with someone who is taking advice from a very niche, very particular field such as game development and applying it to general software development.
Why for the last 10 years we’ve invested so much in https://blog.cloudflare.com. I’d think of this as supplementing that, and allowing you to interact live with many of the blog’s authors, rather than replacing it.
I think ifixit.com does a pretty good job for all the electronics (okay, mostly laptops) that I've repaired so far.

> I think youtube has the potential to bring back DIY repair

This might depend on who you hang out with. I'm a tradesperson in the steel fabrication and construction industry, and I think a lot of people in this area have a propensity to want to fix and / or build pretty much everything themselves. From this perspective, with YouTube and online written guides, DIY repair is stronger than ever.
I will prioritize this based on your feedback.
Spotify’s returns to creators are pitifully small, and since they’re basically a distributor not a publisher, they don’t offer advances on royalties.

So maybe the economics would disincentivize authorship.
That's exactly right. While it is impossible to absolutely prove a negative (that no one will make a credible patent claim against AV1) -- it's worth noting that the line of codecs starting with VP3 that led up to AV1 go back to research done in the early 90's, and there has never been a serious patent claim against any of them.

This is at least partly by design: On2 had an explicit mission to create competitive codecs that avoided conflict with the MPEG patents. I'm pretty sure this was a major factor in their appeal to Google.

(Disclaimer: I was CTO &/or CEO of On2 up until 2003)

When I first started doing volunteer health assessments and triage at our local homeless shelter, I inquired if facial hair was an issue with PPE. The organization's initial response was no.

I sent them a link to the CDC guidance[1] that includes this picture regarding facial hair styles that are ok[2].

I don't think the notice at the top of said article is helpful whatsoever saying that this isn't advice for covid-19. A proper fit and seal is important. The picture could also be considered somewhat offensive to some.

Does SWE mean software engineer?

I've never gotten that offer (or applied, for that matter), so I don't know what I'd actually do in your shoes. But if I got the offer, and thought that I could really do it and give my all, then I would. The kind of credibility you get is the same sort that you get having gone to Stanford, or Harvard (also things I haven't done). It's proof-of-intelligence, if not proof-of-intelligent-life. Do you have other offers at places that are more in line with your morality, or a start-up that's just burning in your soul to be born? If not, I'd take the Facebook job.

Why would you code .Net in vscode vs VS Community Edition (or one of the premium editions)? I find vs ce much better than vscode for .net stuff.
Have not read the article, but every time I've heard about it my thought is, "make it not connected to the internet." Basically, keep the data local, then you can choose to take to your doctor, or find a way to analyze it yourself. No need for it to be transmitted anywhere.

Of course, that would require respecting a persons privacy and not falling for the lure of "big data" "saving the world".
This is a causal claim but you've only adduced correlations.
I encourage you to not even consider Brave. Or any other chromium based browser.

We lost another player in the web browser game with the death of Edge. To make it worse, Google got another token since Edge is now based on chromium.

We're only left with 3 (mainstream) engines and only one of them actively supports the open web. Stay with firefox.
I simply don't believe that mistakenly saying "links" instead of "URLs" is sensationalist. The author is not engaging in clickbait by substituting that word. A layman understanding of the web will not make a distinction between a URL and a link. The issue is clearly the fact that the browser deceives the user, whether it is changing a link in a page or changing the URL typed in the address bar, these are both equally deceptive from the user's point of view.

Hell, I have a reasonably good knowledge of the terminology and I will regularly ask people to "send me links" or "send me URLs" interchangeably. It's just needlessly pedantic.
Heh, I have a masters degree focused on distributed systems. My thesis was about tracing and debugging in microservice-style systems. I generally write monoliths, on purpose. The massive overheads and debugging nightmares are not worth it most of the time.

Global state still gets pushed out into backend services (redis, postgres) and I can still scale horizontally all day, but there’s no crazy chain of backend interservice HTTP requests to cause no end of chaos :)
I (not a Cloudflare employee) am actually being interviewed on here along with a friend, Thursday at 1pm EST: https://cloudflare.tv/schedule/2tGlq0ue3jrGuAegeq60fD

Two doctor friends and I collaborated to make a site that matches PPE donators with hospitals/nursing homes/fire departments/etc that need PPE ( https://maskaherony.com ) . Over 30,000 masks have been donated so far. It’s all volunteer-run and no money changes hands. We host it with Cloudflare Workers Sites (I built it in Jekyll). I assume that much of the interview will be my friend focusing on the medical match aspects and what she’s seeing in hospitals. I’m just the lowly tech guy, she’s the one doing the hard work and saving lives. Check it out if you can!

To me, that seems like fairly precise language. They’re saying they do not believe the risk level is sufficiently high to condemn the gatherings. It doesn’t seem much different than saying grocery store visits are not condemned as risky, while music store visits are condemned as risky. The virus doesn’t care about what you’re shopping for either, it’s just that shopping for food is more important (by their estimation) than shopping for some vinyl.
