Author here. Wasn't my intention to mislead, but I also don't think the article is mistitled. What would have been a better name? This article is about actual Python malware that would affect an endpoint like a remote access trojan (RAT). If the article was about malware within the Python package index, I would have named it "Malicious Python packages within PyPI on the rise!" It could also be a confusing professional domain interlap, as I exist typically within the security world.

"It turns out that lynching black people in the United States was (and unfortunately remains) a very legitimate problem/criticism."

Not even close to being true.
I’ll be the devil’s advocate here. US as a country of choice for education, work and life is unbeatable. The author himself is looking forward to getting the citizenship soon. US also has a lot of structural issues, as any country and any structure of government does. US educational institutions and the teaching will still hold appeal and after Covid settles down, it’ll still continue to attract international students.
While international students pay full price, international students also receive scholarships and the student loan crisis of (mostly) American students shows that American students are not as subsidized as the author claims.
Economy is interlinked - international students end up in tech sector jobs, earn exorbitant sums (PM in a FANG company is earning $400K while average American wage is closer to $50K), possibly joining social media businesses (morally challenged business models) and further straining the social fabric in the US. This is my conjecture, based on my experience. I’m an international student and studied in a premier US university and have all my friends working mostly in SF and NYC.
Of late, I’m starting to judge things on the basis of what heals US and avoid picking things in isolation.
In summary, I see that the immigration rules have been harshly implemented, but again, it’s covid and I’m not sure what a measured response is anymore. US is well within its right to control immigration as it feels like, internationals like US because there is something about US that’s hard to unpack, but as a whole, something to cherish and love. In my opinion, the author is fair to call out the immigration rule implementation, everything else feels like a rant and I have a hard time buying into the criticism.
Yep, I’m right there with you. Gategate has to end.
I’ve got a similar problem a couple of months ago - so had around 6 months of problem-free operation, and then it started out of blue in only one headphone. Rattling or static noise is added only to certain sounds, looks like depending on their frequency, and is very audible when noise canceling mode is on, otherwise it’s almost inaudible,
age isn't the issue...metal structure and repair cost is

pretty much the entire structure seems to be destroyed. Undoing that damage and then rebuilding what was destroyed will be effectively (if not greater than) the cost of just buying a new one.

Even if you could repair it, you don't want to. A large amount of the metal has been heated to very high and unknown temperatures. Typically, the concern is three things [0]: dimensional changes (i.e., you warped your entire ship), increased corrosion (hot metal rust faster), and permanent reduction in strength (like, >50% permanent reduction in strength). Now add in that the fire has almost certainly burned or boiled the paint off the external surfaces that are contacting sea water. That paint is the the skin of the ship, any of that underlying steel would need to be expected, cleaned, and likely repaired.

Age isn't the issue, the damage is. It would be like trying to renovate a burned out house. At some point it's not a renovation its a teardown.

EDIT: adding the obvious 'this is my opinion based on observations and I have no first hand data on this ship' qualifciation

In the function definition of `generate_series`, what is going on with the `default!` macro?

That isn't some sort of way of actually getting real default param values is it? I thought that wasn't possible in Rust.
Yes, and this everything goes makes it difficult to spot bugs. Perl byte-code compiled a program at start and was able to find a number of bugs (if the warnings option was enabled). If e.g. a variable is misspelled in TCL, you'll find out exactly when that particular line of code is reached. If that happens to be in the error path ...

That sounds like it's specific to pharma-biotech. In non-pharma biotech there seems to be more freedom to pivot (e.g. this story[0] from a few days ago).

Not sure if the topmost model is able to keep Android Studio and Gradle happy though.
Definitely. I'd say "Programming Perl" is a literary masterpiece. Larry Wall's genius was selling Perl as a literate, witty, expressive antidote to all the Java and C++ cruft of the late 90s (Perl 5). "Programming Perl" should be read alongside "Mastering Regular Expressions" which is another masterpiece. I think Ruby and Clojure are the only language cultures that come close to engaging the whole brain the way Perl 5 did when it was popular. However, while each has a couple of shining stars (Ruby: Matz & DHH, Clojure: Rich Hickey) they don't compare with the sheer number of stars who made up the Perl 5 cast of the early 2000s (Larry Wall, "The Damian" Conway, Chromatic, Curtis Poe, Lincoln Stein, Randall Schwartz, John Orwant, Simon Cozens, Tom Christiansen, Nat Torkington & many more). That really was an entertaining community to be part of and is, like disappearing bookshops, sorely missed. Perl lost a lot of mindshare to Python, famed for its boring predictability and crippled lambdas which the Perl 5 community would never have tolerated. If you want programming to inspire you the way O'Reilly's catalogue of Perl books did in the late 90s/early 2000s I'm not sure there's much apart from Matz and Rich Hickey's work. Their lectures are inspiring but their written output is limited. Go read "Programming Perl" - it's timeless.
I have mixed feelings about this one, having seen their Capital G investment portfolios before. Let's hope they actually make an impact with this one.

Now let's begin with an analysis: This is the only company in their portfolio doing anything very relevant to helping India: https://ayefin.com/our-products/ The rest are profitable companies - but not like helping Indian economies or anything serving a very large amount of people. It's a micro finance model, very helpful to India (helping businessmen and farmers avoid some terrible loan sharks), however it's a business, not a charity.

Now let's talk motivations. FB recently invested in Jio, and I'm quite sure this was their most successful investment, after the 'Free Basics' idea fell through and all people protested against OTT services being subsidized and the idea of net neutrality. Now, it is well known that if you control the wire, you control the internet. You control the relevance of a website, it's advertising potential and finally, it's net revenue.

FB may have gotten some sweet insider deal from Jio, so Google may now be running helter-skelter to not become the loser in the big picture. Unless Sundar Pitchai got a boost of Indian patriotism and decided to help India, like shown in some recent movies (highly doubt it).

I mean, if they had already done something to boost small startups and create value for India, they had a 12+ year lead, lots of people - and they could have done something. But they did not. Maybe now they'll try to join forces with some telco (Airtel/Vodafone) or something, who knows.

I doubt that kind of money will ever help regular Indians become better or enhance their quality of life. Unless they turned a new leaf, let's hope so.

Yes. Most people in my lab have a MacBook (Pro) where we do most of our coding, and we ssh into a Linux cluster to run most of the compute.

For what it's worth, neither bullets nor helicopters are propelled by explosions. While the distinction is somewhat technical, gunpowder doesn't explode--it just burns really fast. This is less important for small arms than for, say, artillery, but being able to control burn rates is critical for the design of most firearms/cannons and things like solid-fuel rocket motors (which function as one big propellant grain)--in many of these cases, detonation would likely prove catastrophic.

All that to say that helicopter blades can create similar pressure waves as gunshots. Supersonic bullets passing overhead make very distinctive sounds, but the noise of the gunshot itself is much less unique. I never really got comfortable living in places with a large number of cars that backfired a lot, because I couldn't easily tell it apart from gunfire.
> What is the idea behind planning to be in a permanent relationship, but not marrying?

What? This seems perfectly normal to me. At least for me any serious relationship is always with at least the vision of permanence, starting from the very beginning of when you call yourselves official -- unless it fails at some point.

Considering most such failures occur in the first couple years, as you're still getting to understand each other, it's probably a bad idea to jump the gun into marriage that early while you still don't have a full understanding of each other. But that doesn't make it any less "planning to be permanent".

I'd also say that people who meet "the one" earlier on should arguably stay unmarried for longer. If you meet at 20, I'd say wait till 25+ till you marry. A lot can change in a person between 20 and 25. If you meet at 30, you can cut that shorter a bit and that's fine because most people know what they want in life at 30.

But a 22 year old US citizen who has been in a 2 year stable relationship with an F1 student, possibly living together, with permanent intent? I'd say don't rush them into marriage, but for goodness sake, let them be happily together.

The Power Brokers in China: Those Who Wield the Rubber Stamps
News outlets have been doing this since long before Twitter was a thing. Any time you hear/read “x is facing criticism...”, “x is under pressure...”, “x is being praised...”, “many people are saying...”, “people familiar with the issue...”, “inside/anonymous sources...”, “x calls for...”, “experts say/warn...”, everything you hear/read after that point is 100% curated editorial opinion, and news outlets have been pedalling that for at least as long as I’ve been old enough to read the news.

Those kinds of statements are so vague that they’re pretty much always guaranteed to be true, so you don’t even need to provide a factual basis for them, but before Twitter news outlets would just go and interview random uninformed passers by on the street and gather a couple of good common-man sound bites to reinforce whatever bad opinion it is they’re pushing. My favourite technique that I’ve seen become more common over the past few years is to print an article claiming “x is facing online death threats” for anybody they want to generate some sympathetic support for. Are such headlines true? Almost certainly. Would that headline be true for any public figure you can possibly think of? Almost certainly.
I've always suspected that the big draw of Twitter is that there is never any need to inquire whether or not something on Twitter is quotable.

Many Facebook posts, etc. are friends-only, perhaps presenting at least a momentary ethical question. With Twitter, it is clear that the posts are definitively in the wild and in the public square.

I and almost everyone I know studied in the US and most of my friends stay there now. In the end, being allowed in a country to study and then potentially to continue living there is a privilige. For the most part all of us were already from the priviliged parts of our country (almost no one I knew from India who went to the US was from anything less than middle class in India). This is all the more important when you consider the draconian rules India puts even on folks who used to be it's citizens, leave alone other nationals. Until the Trump administration, the US still had one of the most liberal immigration policies of any country. We don't need a girlfriend visa on top of that. The only beef I have is the constant moving of goal posts - just make the rules up and stick to them, whatever they are.

Agreed, you want to do it the hard way first to get real insight into the problem. By the time you get around to actually automating it you'll be ready to.

Am fortunate in my present position that the projects I get tend to be complex one-off types. I have a lot of leeway on how it gets done as long as the software engineering aspects are sound.

I've had the opposite frustration at times in the past, where people around me were content to do it the tedious manual way forever. As a typical Perl programmer type that was kind of painful :-).

The main issue with BigCommerce is that they do not offer any compelling advantage over existing open source system. Moreover being a loss making entity like Shopify without any sticky system like marketplace which drives traffic, I doubt there is much value in it except that investors wants to cash-out given the current unrealistic stock market.

In case a company use magento [1], Saleor [2], Sylius [3], Shuup [4], Solidus [5], Spree [6] combined with vue-storefront [7], storefront UI [8] and openflutttercommerce app [9] the amount of efforts to build a highly resilient and functional system is cheaper with complete control over customer, supply chain, pricing, product, marketing, sales and promotion data. Also the efforts will be similar to using shopify, bigcommerce with more cost-savings. Indeed shopify itself use many components from rails eco-system built by Spree and Solidus community.

Its very easy to build a highly customized and resilient system using cloud offering combined with these open source systems. So I do not see why a mid-size business will choose shopify or bigcommerce. They are good for mom-pop shops and simple commerce, but for unique shopping experience they fall short and better to build customized one with complete control.

> one of the most liberal immigration policies of any country

Uh, no. In a lot of countries, obtaining a work visa to live there and work there is as simple as a local company handing you an offer letter for a highly-skilled job.

It's the US that loves to intrude on employer-employee relationships. That kind of BS doesn't happen in e.g. China. If a company wants your talent, they'll find a way to get you a visa. For STEM jobs it's not even a question.

Singapore might even hand you a landed permanent residence (LPR) card if you have a PhD out of a well-known academic institution. You need to meet certain criteria within your first year there but goddamn the immigration policy is much more sensible for the future of the country.
