Granted, there is a problem of someone doing an "Amazon", but these dangers can all be accounted for and cheap homes would vastly benefit the younger generation. Granted, maybe progressive taxes on property are needed, but I don't see problems.

So 1.1m for a house is probably a problem. What is the alternative to fixing that?
I can take a nap if I feel tired. Usually in the afternoon, which would have been impossible when in the office.
That's ~5 commits a DAY on average since the last release a year ago, primarily from 29 contributors.

That is a rate of development that bests most paid teams that I know of.

I am very impressed. How do you manage so much commitment for an open source project?
This is absolutely pointless... my guess is < 1% of people will turn it on. On the one hand this feature admits there is a problem with political ads (otherwise why have the toggle) and provides a non-solution to fix it (not enough people will filter the bullshit to make any meaningful difference).

This is all exactly within the Facebook playbook.
The boarding up is because of the looting and rioting. Before that they were just closed as they would 'normally' close.
JFTR, Here is Origami Editor 3D[0] — open-source virtual paper folding application, which I used to recreate some of those paper airplanes.

Russia certainly has a nuclear base in Sevastopol, Crimea. It is a base of the Russian Navy and the main base of the Black Sea Fleet.

Would Americans be fine with annexing Rammstein if Germany went through a coup d'etat and the fascist leaders of the coup decided they wanted to gain access to the nuclear weapons stored there?

I'm pretty sure they would.

So why is it not acceptable for the Russians to protect their weapons of mass destruction from mis-use?
I don't use facebook, so I am confused, but aren't there apps/browser extension that block all ads, called addblockers?
(or are they blocked by facebook?)

Why on earth would I choose to view normal advertisement, but not political?
> Rust does not have a global system cache for libraries, and I don't think there is any package manager installing pre-compiled Rust libraries, so at least for the initial compiles, Rust needs to do much more work than C, for Rust dependencies at least.

FWIW, Nix can do this (via Carnix). But it turns out not to be too useful anyway, because any feature flags that you use will invalidate the cache for everything that depends (transitively) on that crate.
You're right indeed, maybe in the e-books side it's rarer...

Anyway, my wallet felt it, considering I've done most of it in about 4 years with a relatively modest salary
Oh, I see. I was wondering how an argument parsing library could be as big as a bytecode interpreter like Lua.
It's the same reason Google doesn't let you have more control over the search results. If they give out granular-enough permissions / tooling, then plugins and other tools would be somehow able to make your FB/Google experience akin to a completely different site, with very little control on their part. As a bit of an analogy: They want to be the television that you look at your content through as well as the content provider/curator, but they also don't want to be forced into being just the radio-broadcasting infrastructure provider which is all that they really are if you drill down far enough. Oh and ads, of course.
Same for the UK. Nothing is boarded up here. I read the article thinking "How to I invest in American plywood manufacturers if there's a second wave?"
Isn't the idea behind prime shipping that with enough volume, any product in demand should already be stored close to the customer? Their expanding fleet of aircrafts make me doubt that it works that well but who knows, maybe their air cargo as a percentage of all shipping is decreasing drastically.

In the end, online stores aren't that hard to build and local stores can become competitive if Amazon really decides to cash out. Amazon is growing so fast because they don't really turn a profit, not because they pushed everyone else out of the market.
> Precompiled headers are a workaround when you can't modularize your project / headers files.

This is technically true but misleading - the whole nature of C++ means that you can't modularize your project / headers in a way that avoids transitively including lots of headers. There's two reasons for this:

* Lots of Boost (and other library) types are vocabulary types - that's often the whole point of using them in the first place. If my class has a public method that returns a boost::optional<T> or boost::flat_map<K, V> then there's no way to avoid transitively including the relevant Boost headers in my header files.

* Lots of Boost stuff is templated so the implementation has to go in the header, which means the transitive dependencies on other parts of Boost have to be included in the header, even they're only used in the implementation of the Boost class that you're directly use. The heavy templating is a result of the previous point - vocabulary types often need to be templated in order to be useful in many different situations.
In that case the economy fails its basic function on the back of young and old people in the interest of risk takers. Although you cannot call it risk anymore since government will save you in times of need.
It could, and finding the next big thing is extremely profitable. But few companies are able to repeat that process. However, with enough money AMZN could become like Microsoft and successfully build their own products if others have shown that it's worth it. Microsoft also uses profits from some business lines to pay for losses in a lot of ventures of which only very few work out.
> It's at least possible that one can only arbitrage the price of labor in developing markets for so long until they develop and drive up the local price of labor, and until they are all developed.

This is a fairly optimistic point of view, IMO. What I think is much more likely to happen is the following cycle:

1. Manufacturing comes to a new place due to low wages (relative to the cost of labor in the previous place), lax environmental regulations, low tax rate for corporate profits, and very low worker safety regulations.

2. This goes well for 20-40 years, but as things typically do, environmental regulations are put into place by the local government, the tax rate rises to pay for the externalities of the low wages, and workers organize, agitate, and win higher wages, more safety regulations, and worker protections. All of this raises the cost of labor.

3. Manufacturers move to a new location because it is much cheaper. This causes people in the old location to lose their jobs, become impoverished, and craters their economy to the point where the government, implored by all of these laid off and angry workers, need to do something to help the situation. This results in a lowering of wages, rolling back of environmental regulations, lowering the corporate tax rate, and repeal of the safety regulations and worker protections.

4. Twenty years later the manufacturers come back to the country because people have become so desperate for jobs that moving back to the country is relatively cheaper compared to the country that manufacturing just moved to.

Just view the policy decisions with respect to manufacturing that the leaders of the United States and Mexico have proposed to "bring back" these blue collar jobs. It all follows this playbook.
One could argue, that you can create an experience as good as AirPods or even exceeding it. All you need to do is to develop a 'protocol' better than the horrible Bluetooth, make it an industry standard and convince companies to adopt it.

The only reason why Apple had to (and could at the same time) work on that aspect of headphones is because Bluetooth sucks and Apple is in a business of taking things that are widely used and suck, making them suck much less and selling them for a premium price.
Americans have absolutely no awareness of the extent and magnitude of the crimes against humanity committed by US forces in countless illegal wars. It is literally too overwhelming for the average plebe to comprehend.

Over TWO MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE have lost their lives in America's illegal war against Iraq. This is far, far worse than anything done in Crimea, so far. And, that is just one of 12 major military theatres in which America is committing war crimes, daily.

It is utterly disgusting that American citizens have no idea the extent of the crimes committed in their name.

This is a good move but could go further, really wish FB and moreso Twitter would include a big switch in their settings that was just "Politics On/Off" hide all political ads, and tweets and retweets for people who just don't want to see that for mental health reasons or just because they're not there for that (e.g brand customer support workers) but they'd never do that because I suspect they ideologically think its more important to control the flow of political information that is broadcast to their users even if its at a great detriment to their users mental health.
>You're very clearly confusing the version control system git with the platform for code collaboration github.

sorry for expressing myself badly, but I do realize they are different things as I use bitbucket and gitlab as well.

that said I use them all as dumb, quick views for the current state of the project, with a couple of on/off switches to automate common tasks in a git project. I would like to keep my informational panels as low distraction as possible, and fun, at least as it is stereotyped in popular culture through the ages, tends to be distracting.
Almost any topic is potential political.

But all facebook cares about, is not to be blamed again for fake news on their network are responsible again for a not desired outcome of the election. So this is just one step towards that image, nothing more.
I think you should re-read everything about the Microsoft antitrust cases and apply that to Apple. It's pretty obvious to me what accounts to antitrust here and it's been very obvious for years.

I think you should ask yourself really deeply "if this was the case on OSX would I be ok with it?" And use that lens.
This is cool to hear. I've been interested in Haskell/OCaml to learn functional programming. Rust has other cool applications like WebAssembly too. I think I'll start learning it after I learn Clojure (trying to get into functional stuff first with Lisp).
Despite the other comments not generating faith in the activity of the project, i have to ask:

As Jenkins, CircleCI, and Travis are explicitly mentioned, i wondered if there is any plan to add Gitlab CI to the mix?

I have to admit that i was off the site the second i realized "it is not for my CI". But the provided service sounds very nice at a quick glance.

Reference counting still requires you to keep track of cycles. Also performance is less than GC, especially in multithreaded environments. And Swift is not a serious language outside apple ecosystem.

OCaml is actually very good language. I hate how people outright dismiss it mentioning multicore. Neither JS nor Python have great multicore story. And most applications don't need multicore.

Wish there was a good static compilation toolchain for .net core. F# would gain much more traction then.
A specialist profession, or a profession of specialists? (2015)
The cross sectional data is interesting and certainly puts a dent in simplistic explanations that only the patriarchy is preventing gender parity in STEM. But then again, variation in male/female average preferences by time and place works overall in favour of arguments that cultural factors like stereotyping influence career choices (and against biological predispositions being the one true explanation for female underrepresentation). It's not entirely impossible that women are simply more inclined to pick professions other than tech as barriers to other careers are removed (I'm sure the stereotypes that women don't belong in finance or law are stronger in the UAE and were stronger in the 1980s US). But once one acknowledges that alienation [and anticipation of discrimination, and role models] probably plays some role in career selection, the question becomes why it wouldn't be a driving factor in [self]selection for a field where US gender gaps were much smaller when it was a non-traditional niche attracting comparatively little attention than when it was a mainstream white collar career choice but one whose male nerd stereotypes are firmly ingrained in public consciousness.

> It seems like an argument against all kinds of transactions that are linked to irreversible side effects, regardless of whether any are nested.

Correct. The best design is small transactions without side effects. The problem with the existence of nested transactions is that they encourage large transactions across multiple components, where it's too easy to sneak some side effects in.

> I would love to know what the author (or others) think the better alternative is.

Small transactions with a retry loop using exponential back-off and, depending on application requirements, a max latency deadline with fallback/error.

> > Additionally, nested transactions can amplify performance anomalies.

> Is this not a CockroachDB-specific performance limitation

Nested transactions encourage cross-component, and thus long-lived transactions. Long-lived txns holding locks cause performance problems in every SQL engine, not just crdb.
Not even close, I have 3000 accounts blocked/muted on twitter and 300+ words and still my timeline is drenched in politics.

Also now some hashtags are able to bypass the mutes if Twitter deems it important you see them.

But Twitter knows exactly what is politics because they curate their trends to it so could easily block it out entirely for me but wont for ideological reasons.
Maybe it depends on which cities you pick. Singapore looks a lot more developed than Berlin (PS: I love both cities)

> Wouldn't that disproportionately remove only young urban democrats from political advertising?

If that were the case, it might actually be beneficial to Democrats since they wouldn't waste money advertising to those people meanwhile Republicans wouldn't be able to change their minds with advertising.

Or it could go the other way, and inability to constantly be reminding those people how great the dems are and how important it is to vote means the turnout will be lower among those who turned off ads than if they hadn't been able to.

(And I agree with everyone saying that FB cares more about making bank from the election than about actually improving the situation.)
