Racket can be a good first choice. I would nudge you, if I may, and if the lisp glove fits, into taking the deep dive into

emacs + evil (optional) + paredit + SLIME/SLY + SBCL + Quicklisp

There are fully configured starting setups out there for a quick start. That's basically the closest thing nowadays you'll get to experience the interactive power of the ol' Lisp Machines.

That said, you might not always need such large runtimes and other lisps can fit the bill. For example, I usually program in CL (with C FFI) for most projects, but for embedding lisps into existing C programs, Guile can be a joy. Once I was programming servo motor controllers that offered C as one of the programming languages, and I embedded a single C file that gave me a tiny little scheme interpreter and I was then able to prototype motor control algorithms and setting in way less time than before. It's just a game changer for learning about a system when you can get a REPL on it and start rapidly digging and experimenting.
Another one, real estate...
I like that I can cancel all my subscriptions from one spot. Imagine if you had to dig through each app to figure out how to cancel.
Microsoft is now allowing Windows 10 users to run Android apps side by side with Windows applications on a PC

Yup. Ninety days is fine. More people should choose ninety days up front and not allow themselves to be strung along indefinitely.

Project Zero actually has granted two exceptions to their policy (out of well over a thousand cases), both to rival companies (Apple and Microsoft). On the whole I would say you should resist doing this, just set the policy and reap the consequences whatever they might be. If somebody's $100Bn company burns to the ground because they couldn't get their shit together for three whole months too bad.
.NET Framework is now in maintenance mode because they're transitioning to .NET Core (soon called as .NET 5). I would call .NET Framework as Legacy edition rather than Desktop edition
That’s an option.

What would be useful is a low effort way to translate what’s written in a notebook (or electronic notebook) into a nice summary that can be shared.
The stuff you mentioned isn't really what's "criminal" here.

IMO, the "real" crime stems from his actions to hide / cover up the hack and payoffs and -- probably more importantly -- explicitly and outright lying to the federal government.

They really don't like that at all.

It's possible that this is also, at least in part, an attempt to go after others at Uber (if they have reason to believe there was other criminal behavior taking place).
> Who in their right mind would ever want to embed a full blown scripting language if your usecase is... Open a file and input data?

Because embedding a mature, well written dependency that fully satisfies all your requirements might well be easier from a technical standpoint. It's certainly likely to reduce your comparative future maintenance burden given that the upstream community is healthy and functional.
Whose Century? Review of Books on China, Trade Wars, and Class Wars
"Research over the past 30 or so years has revealed that the formation of stars across the universe reached an extended peak of activity roughly 10 to 11 billion years ago."

"... it appears that the great majority of stars that the universe will ever make—perhaps 95 percent of them—have already been made."

Not sure it matters on human timescales, but still feels like we're late to the party.
Sadly for my A7ii all the RAW files come out exposed incorrectly since the last few updates :( And by almost 3 EV too. I know it's not because of the file, since they look just fine in Lightroom.

Yeah, while there are obvious issues with the old "30% cut from Spotify and Amazon ebook sales, and we just so happen to compete in those areas" situation...I'm more disturbed by the undue influence over what is the primary computing device of most people.

We've seen, time and time again, Apple ban apps for their "corporate moralism" reasons. Most notably, they throw a fit about nudity and reject apps over it. (Including social media apps where such content is accessible.) They also started banning "vaping related" apps, some of which are for controlling hardware, apparently. Philosophically, I have an issue with a company gatekeeping the software you run on your computing device, for any reason. It's not anyone's place to do that.

This could all be avoided with a legal mandate blocking such gatekeeping. The 30% issue is mitigated if you can install apps over the web, as well.
I can't imagine this flying in the US
Must be nice, I'm surrounded by zombies that are either RDD or truly naive. Most of the ecosystem this org works with really doesn't make sense for "cloud." Most of it should be internal infrastructure for an entire host of reasons aside from occasionally using EC2 instances for special case bursts of computing demands. Instead theres an obsession with AWS with no solid rationale.
You'd do the work, then sign up, wait a bit (while working on your next project) then you submit the results.

This is what happens with many grants anyway. You propose to research the stuff that you already understand, you get funded and can finally work on new stuff you don't understand well enough to get funded for.
Mind posting the RAW files? I use the a7ii and darktable and it is perfect for me.
One cool thing about "unsurprising" results—trustworthiness of the source doesn't mean much more than fitting your preconceptions in any way that reviewers can tease out anyway.
You're right technically, but who writes a controller that does nothing? Also, just the existence of the CRD can be enough to signal state to other controllers, so there are some knock-on benefits to just having it there in storage.

Regardless of corner cases, this is a step change difference between tools like terraform/pulumi that reach out and call APIs and finish executing compared to k8s which supports reconciliation. A tool with reconciliation is strictly more capable than one without (for better or for worse).
Look at how many of those sites are formal military bases. If the gov’t won’t hold themselves accountable, why would you expect them to hold a private company responsible?

> Cut executive pay

This doesn't really work when Uber has something like 3 million drivers worldwide. Distributing the CEO's entire salary among drivers would yield them only a handful of coins worth of extra income per person per year. There's simply no way to translate exec pay into meaningful comp for drivers at this sort of scale.

I do, however, believe it's possible for the government to establish better social services (e.g. universal healthcare at similar tax rates exists just north of the border) if only the US govt adjusted its spending priorities.
I have been asking my product managers time so that I can update libraries and what not. Nope.

It would require a lot of babysitting. Some objects have a few slightly different definitions (for example,one book has a definition, and the other book the definition is 1/2 of that). Sometimes the programs to run the calculations don't use the same variables than the paper (perhaps the team changed the opinion, or the main reference, and the graph must show x+y vs y). Sometimes the work that should be included in the paper is underdocumented, ...

Another difficult part is to select what to publish, for example cut the dead branches and add a few more data about the interesting part. It is not usual to get a bunch of data and just publish it without some additional work.

When things like this happen, is it any wonder an increasing number of users are viewing any sort of "updates" with extreme apprehension? "It was working fine just before, and now I've lost everything. Why should I have even updated!?!?"

I still remember when the general advice was "do not upgrade/change what works, unless you need something in a later version", which then changed to "updates are recommended", followed by "updates are strongly recommended", and more recently, "updates are mandatory".

This appears to be the paper actually stating the headline [0].

Interestingly the statement is a bit different:
"The star formation activity over the last ∼11 Gyr is responsible for producing ∼95 per cent of the total stellar mass density observed locally, with half of that being assembled in 2 Gyr between z = 1.2 and 2.2, and the other half in 8 Gyr (since z < 1.2). If the star formation rate density continues to decline with time in the same way as seen in the past ∼11 Gyr, then the stellar mass density of the Universe will reach a maximum which is only 5 per cent higher than the present-day value."

To me, this says a lot more about the expansion of the universe, in that we have an ever smaller window into the observable universe, than anything about black holes.

Is that a reasonable interpretation or am I missing something?

>Let them set rates. Let them decline rides without facing penalties by the platform...

As a contractor I can set my rate, but the company can also simply not hire me. As a contractor I can act as I wish, but the company can terminate my contract. As a contractor, I pay for my unemployment insurance if I want it.

So... What's the practical difference? How is this any different than someone who decides to make a living by selling goods on eBay?

No criticism intended.

"Autodidactic" is the adjective, "autodidact" the corresponding noun. As you know, in English we often like to leave the noun merely implied, letting the adjective alone fill in for the noun phrase. Still, the term "autodidact" being shorter than the adjective gives it an unusual appeal. I like to imagine that readers other than yourself may welcome the suggestion.

Each of us knows a negligible part of what is known, which is itself truly negligible compared to what is yet to be known. Most of us are overwhelmed just pruning away what we thought we knew that has turned out not to be so. Don't trust anyone who is not.

Of course, I’m not suggesting he’s legally entitled to his job pending the outcome of his due process.

I’m saying that is the right thing to do, as opposed to instantly firing someone when there is only an allegation.

Although even in this case, I don’t think it warrants termination (unless he is physically unable to remain in the job because he is in prison, which would be a shame).

There is nothing wrong with paying a ransom, contrary to what the title implies. That’s not his crime. Those less familiar with the ransomware epidemic, and before that, the DDoS extortion/protection racket, might be surprised to hear that paying ransoms is not uncommon.

His alleged crime was essentially failing to disclose the breach. It’s not clear how much of that direction came from above him. Travis obviously knew about it at minimum, and he obviously did not direct him or Uber to disclose it.

It’s not difficult to imagine a complicated scenario where he was essentially in a position to be a whistleblower and forfeit his stock, also potentially damaging his reputation and ability to get a new job (doing the ‘right thing’ can still be career suicide), or just do what he was told.

That doesn’t absolve him of guilt in the eyes of the law, but good people make mistakes too, and this one would not seem to reveal anything that could jeopardize his current company. Again, he did not conceal it from the CEO, so presumably if he made that particular mistake at cloudflare, the CEO would direct him not to cover it up.

There could be other explanations as well. He hasn’t had an opportunity to present a defense. We only have the complaint, which is by design as adversarial and one-sided as possible.

Google however has tried a half dozen times to create a messenger app sometimes more than one at a same time. Why couldn’t Google succeed? Incompetence? Apple allows third parties to have tight integration with the native dialer and contact apps.

Charging per sprint is only superficially different from charging hourly/per day/per week/biweekly.

Consultants will want the project to last as long as possible. Clients will want it to be over as fast as possible.

You have to impress the client with every sprint? Just like a regular contractor must impress the client with every milestone.

How do you know how many sprints you want to pay for? So you have a budget, just like any regular old project.

You can prioritize features? But why wouldn't you do that without sprints?

I've used Slack for 6 years with an organization, it's been indispensable, and since I'm remote it's been my window into the company culture, which I'd characterize as healthy.

And from a user perspective, there is vendor lock-in and a strong network effect keeping them on a platform. "Don't like being abused? Switch to a different platform, necessitating a $500+ hardware investment" is utter insanity.

The Institutional Investor has a few more details on this affair [1]. To me it appears Brigade is acting in bad faith here, based on the information available (I am not in any way connected to any of the actors here, Citi, Brigade, Revlon, or anybody else). Maybe in is as u/woofie11 explains it in this thread [2], that Brigade is doing a cynical calculation of sumproducts of payouts and probabilities, and hoping for a settlement. I wonder if a judge can't hold them in contempt? This would be a deterrent for this type of shenanigans by other bad faith guys in the future. Without any downside, why would anyone not engage in this type of behavior?

This is a bit different. A cooled ceiling cools the air through convection, but this isn't supposed to. Instead, it basically just "removes" the warm walls you'd experience in any other setting.

> Software licenses always disclaim any warranty, implied or explicit, it's all "AS IS"

In practice it’s fine, IF, files in the users’ hands is the master, cloud is a copy and format used is some sort of open standards.

Lets say I sent a mail, attachment got lost, but it’s a copy, besides it’s just a jpg, so send it again. Okay.

These cloud SaaS offerings are different: they tries to make the cloud as master, in proprietary format.

So local side is the xerox copy, and you have to go through complimentary conversion service to export the original if you sir insist, and they may cease access to the files on the cloud and copies on your computer but it’s somehow “your fault“ when they do that.

That doesn’t work! Either they assume full responsibility for content they hold, or we hold every rights, as we did, as we should.

I have multiple occasion where OneDrive thought it needs to steal my files from home directories, then change mind and don’t upload, but decides to reflect the reality that it’s not on the cloud. “Where are my files?” my ass you wiped another Desktop folder!

- Use a CDN

That wasn't a suggestion that peer review is the answer. Saying "MIT Technology Review says X" doesn't add to your position, it weakens it. You are going to have to make the argument from first principles and data, not by appealing to authority. Appealing to authority when said authority isn't trusted as an authority makes you sound naive. I don't think you are, but you are saying some things which sound that way.
I worked for SuperShuttle developing their driver mobile app.

I can tell you for a fact that a big reason SuperShuttle failed is because the drivers were independent. They would consistently reject low cost trips and wait it out until they got one "mega" trip so that they only need to actually work for about 3 hours/day. Some days they wouldn't take any trips, just hang out in the van playing Flappy Bird.

This was a main issue for the SuperShuttle because they couldn't get their drivers to do adapt when Uber came around, including accepting work that more resembled Uber pool workloads.
