Here is where they announced that Xamerian will not ship as part of .NET 5. 4th paragraph, starting with “Last year,”:

This announcement was made in a post announcing a preview release instead of its own post, so I can see why people missed it.

Ha, I didn't know about that one. I currently replace the Siri button with the do not disturb button, seems like I use it more often.
A state can always gather info like that if it wants to via physical force so A rise to power would have no obvoius advantage today I believe.

The new thing is slimy multinationals like Facebook and worse doing it with almost no responsibility or insight what so ever.
Because they're not crap. Opinion aside, we get 5-6 years out of each one we buy. My ipad air2 just got an update to iOS 14 (probably the last one it'll get) it's going on 7 years old.

Is Apple overpriced? I dunno, the rest of the market is priced similarly. But the hardware is no better or worse than the competitors, and it can be argued Apple supports it a whole lot longer than the competitors.

They just need to wait (or, leave their code running in wait) for an admin / system process to restart SSHD - e.g. when patching it.
Wow –. See how I made an analog clock with JavaScript
You haven't made a mistake. Those jobs pay highly because they have to. The phenomenon of soulless, not-great-for-the-world jobs being really highly paid is not a new one, and not at all unique to software - compare a celebrity plastic surgeon versus a doctor who saves lives after disasters, or a corporate attorney at a weapons company versus a pro bono lawyer who works for virtually nothing.
There are only four seats available in the public gallery, I believe. In the posted article Amnesty International states:

"If Amnesty International and other observers wanted to attend the hearing, they would have to queue for one of the four seats available in a public gallery."

I believe the gallery seats 40 but only four are available because of their rules on social distancing.
I agree that carp is not particularly appreciated in Southern Europe. I don't know why. Is mostly a slavic thing, I suppose.

> Wouldn't Sweden and Finland also count as European countries that consume a lot of fish?

Probably, but Baltic's Sea situation is complicated (there are some seriously contaminated areas and lots of comb jellies) so many seafood is imported, expensive and sometimes of substandard quality. Salmon is everywhere and is excellent, but finding good shellfish or cephalopods at good prices is more complicated. If I'm not wrong the offer is mostly Salmon, Cod or Herring.

Iceland has a particularly high per-capita consumption also, but their population is just too low to have a big impact versus the rest of Europe.

From my non-expert point of view, the kitchen in North and Central Europe is very Americanized. I suppose than the high ratio of early emancipation in Nordic countries support fast-food adoption. From France to the South is a different world.
That's not a problem.

Imagine if everyone was running at the emissions level of the richest 1%. I don't care if each of them consumes 100x as much energy.

But it'd be nice if Al Gore and di Caprio gave me less crap about how I live my life (and if the idiots from the media didn't give them as much coverage).

Nintendo has famously large cash reserves rich and a quick Internet search suggests they have about 7 billion in cash. Things would have to go very badly for them to go out of business, especially as they can presumably issue new stock to help raise money for a pivot in some sort of doomsday scenario.
Zero days since somebody brought up Musk in a completely unrelated conversation.
Are we talking about founders or FAANG developers?

Last I’ve read on HN, most founders are not making “SV salary” because they’re expecting the golden ticket. Here, it appears you get an equivalent salary + job security with a capped upside.

So last week there were posts about how major players were scraping wsb for data to aid in their trades? Is that accurate? If so, it just ASTOUNDS me.

I love that sub, even though I absolutely do not invest. It's like a daytime tv drama, except the characters are even dumber sometimes.
>Unfortunately I agree with this. A great quote I saw a while ago:

They're not really though. Ads may be the revenue stream but it's not like the top engineers at Google were on ads. They were building the search engine.

That's how IP was supposed to work in the first place. Creation of things like private IP ranges was quite controversial.
No. The US Government is not "1" organization, it is a grouping of many different teams. Each team has their own budget and has to pay for the resources they consume, even if that resource is another thing in another US Government team.
The CAP isn't promoting agricultural production in the EU. it's subsidizing old inefficient methods and keeping out cheaper food from nearby countries. The sole reason why this scheme has lasted so long is because it provides free money to politicians to buy voters.

> t as important until recently

This Recently is 20 years ago. It is arguably THE sector for growth and we all know it. Let alone that it's a security issue as well, and EU could learn a lot from Israel.
Sure, but it is concerning that
Capitalist markets, even when thinking through the long term, don't work like that. A lot of costs of messing with employees are externalized. If I lay off my workforce after a product ships, issue stock options worth 10 cents, or otherwise, the result is a lack of trust in tech management as a whole.

The direct blowback on the individual company is pretty small. Would you ever find out if a manager you were interviewing with had done that? Or a startup?

The US was more efficient when companies treated employees better, and when companies were like a community who took care of each other. But, as an individual manager, and even more so as a company, I come out ahead if I treat employees more aggressively.

Better transparency would help. If employees could see company financials, it would solve a world of hurts. The information asymmetry is a lot of what leads to inefficient markets here.
Air travel has gotten much safer over the past half century and an usually high percentage of 737 Max aircraft have suffered a complete hull loss with all passengers and crew dying. As has been mentioned before "past performance is not predictive of future results".

As best as Wikipedia can tell me, Boeing has delivered 130 Max's which flew ~120,000 flight hours. Even if we completely disregard all MCAS failures that the pilots were able to mitigate, two 737 Max 8's were destroyed within the first two years of operation, representing ~1.5% of the aircraft actually in operation in two years. That is a pretty alarming statistic, and points to the Max 8 genuinely being an unsafe aircraft.
There’s a video of the guy who makes them using his finger. There’s another on their website, search for sawstop. But as for others, tech can always fail so why risk it? Also it costs $100 each time you do it so it’s not like a ton of people want to waste the money.
This is true, but don't overestimate it. I know first rate math & physics types who gave up on academic work and now work at a FAANG or similar; and I know second rate ones who stayed. So it's a mixed bag.
Yeah but how can one disagree with a factual statement, in good faith...?

The point of this article should be that SARS are filed often for things that aren’t criminal, mostly for things that aren’t criminal. So where is all that crime?

Again, the only specific crime you’ve listed is the Wells Fargo commission scam committed by mid level employees to up their compensation. They didn’t steal anything or kill anyone, they created some extra accounts to look good in review.

I would imagine CIA officers get a regular civil service salary, which is emphatically not the high salaries that contractors earn.
I wonder what models can create incentive alignment when the output should be free - things like kids' games, education, research, food for the needy.

It may be a low cap for the Valley, but a 6 figure supplemental income is nothing to sneeze at for anyone making even twice that, especially when you don't have to take on any real personal risk to acquire it.

It appeals to sharp minds that wouldn't tolerate the risks and logistics of being an entrepreneur in a startup. Especially if they want to guarantee food and a comfortable life for their family while they're working on their project.
When should you stop refactoring Legacy Code?
Why do you say they misjudged the risk? They got bailed out, the regulations that were enacted in 2008 with big fanfare were/are being slowly but surely rolled back, metrics are good, business has been booming for 10+ years until COVID, but even now "the assets are safe".

The middle class is being displaced by automation and capital consolidation: [pdf] https://economics.mit.edu/files/11563 and https://economics.mit.edu/files/12979

Since yields/returns are so low, it's no wonder rent seeking is the "new" hot shit. Returns are low because there's no aggregate demand, because the middle class disappears, see above. And so the vicious cycle does what it does.

Agreed on Nikola just being a small symptom. See also WeWork.
I'd be more interested to hear what a local bartender might have to say about any of this than a marxist scholar. Hard pass.

Also, naming a theory does not give it credence. So simply saying that a person said a thing and gave it a name tells me nothing if you don't tell me what they said. Linking to a hour long video is not a good substitution for defining your terms.
The mobile gaming market and PC/console gaming are basically two distinct markets with very little overlap though.
I wish you a great fortune, but one thing that scares me (for you) is that the stock is up a lot in regular trading hours after this news! I have an open mind and I did well on Tesla stock, but I can't make any sense of this stock, especially today.

Basically for the same reason you would prefer RAII to new/delete. You can easily forget to change the value of a global variable back to its old value, whereas dynamic variable bindings automatically revert to their old values after you leave the scope of their declarations.
When I see a new forecasting library, my first question is whether it can apply ARIMA in a sklearn manner by training a model using (large) train time series X, storing the model by discarding the train data, and then using this model for predictions by feeding a completely different (and shorter) time series. Importantly, the time series used for prediction is not a continuation of the time series used for training. Moreover, we do not store anywhere the original time series used for training.

So the question is whether sktime can apply ARIMA in this way.
Let me work with your analogy a bit. What if your dad's job was to install sound systems designed around poor quality speaker components, using expensive DSP systems that add a lot of latency to the signal and draw lots of power?

He knows he could build better components than the ones he uses if he put the time in, and create a better overall system design with a better price/performance by applying state of the art knowledge, but people prefer to pay him to combine commodity parts of questionable design in the standard, proven, but clearly suboptimal way.

Now where is his job satisfaction?

If you really wanted to stretch the analogy, maybe imagine the expensive DSPs he is expected to install all forward a record of any audio played on them to a shadowy government agency.
> Everyone should be using logrotate, and if they actually read the things, shipping logs to ELK or Splunk or Greylog or whatever.

Certainly they should. That is, if they have that much control over the server and if it's not some legacy system build by some defunct organization or John Doe. I do not disagree with your theory, on the contrary. But then there is reality, where this theory isn't always feasible.

Quibi Explores Strategic Options Including a Possible Sale
The "living game" approach has to do with the cost of the DLC and the difficulty at moving the price point of a game (while costs to build it go up).

This allows the studio to make money on the game based on the continued DLC which needs less development investment.

It isn't so much "milking" but rather "acknowledging a change in the way games are monetized because the price of the initial game isn't changing."
So you’re saying the humanitarian problem is even bigger than just Amnesty International. Not even other international observers can see whether the trial is fair.

This is truly alarming, to a much bigger scale, in this case.
It's definitely a spiritual successor to New Vegas, but overall it's much smaller in scope and (in my opinion) has a less satisfying progression system.

Pros:
1. Solid Writing: I found the story to be interesting and engaging. There's great ambient world building via notes you find and the main story is fairly interesting with lots of branching paths.
2. Flexible playstyles: they really committed themselves to allowing you to play how you want to. There are the standard melee and ranged playstyles, but stealth and speed are also completely viable for the entire game as well.
3. Combat: Combat is actually pretty good. They replaced VATS with a time dilation mechanic that is basically bullet time/slowmo. I played a ranged character so it felt cool to slow down time and get headshots, etc. Maybe it feels less good with melee characters, I don't know.

Cons:
1. Limited loot: This was a big dissapointment. There were only 2-3 weapons per category, plus a few special weapons thrown in. I felt like I basically had 2 guns for the entire game, which was a bit of a let down. It was disappointing to get the same generic gun again and again from enemies, especially compared to the huge variety of guns in NV.
2. Less exciting progression: They changed the perk system to be much simpler and there are many fewer perks to choose from. Around the mid game I basically had selected all the good perks and felt like there was no point in selecting new ones. You also get perks from leveling up skills but I found that those weren't well balanced and frequently the first tier of perk unlocks were way better than the later tiers, which didn't incentivize much specialization.
3. Setting: This one definitely comes down to personal preference but I was not a big fan of the aesthetic. They swapped 1950s nuclear age with 1920s art deco. Some of the environments and costumes look cool, but generally I found it to be less compelling and exciting than Fallout. This is arguably an unfair comparison because they had a big body of existing Fallout lore to build on for NV but IMO it's a much weaker universe - I can't see it being as interesting even after they make a few games in this setting.
Blizzard did not charge for WoW Classic. It merely requires an active subscription to the regular game. There's no additional purchase or subscription.

The company invested significant development into Classic. The project started as a fork of Legion, in order to benefit from a decade of anti-bot measures, compatibility fixes, and Battle.net integration (auth and chat). They then ported the original game forward and added "layering" to avoid crashes that plagued the original game in 2004 and 2005.
Huh? What does the spouse have to do with things?
The idea of this law is really interesting to me.

Assange is being charged under the US 1917 Espionage Act.

How can the US reasonably charge him with espionage? Has Assange ever even been to the US?

If we can charge a foreign reporter with espionage for the mere publication of something we consider secret, and force their international extradition, how would we feel about a foreign government doing the same to one of our citizens?

For instance, if Australia were to coerce the UK to arrest and extradite the publisher of the New York Times for prosecution under their laws for printing a story they didn't like for some reason.

I would be interested to read anything that confirms that some observers have been allowed to view the proceedings remotely.

My understanding is that observers would need to have either one of the four available seats in the public gallery or a seat in the "overflow" rooms next to the court. Please note that the audio in the overflow room is reportedly very poor, what little I've read made it sound unreliable.

If some observers were allowed remote access, I think that is important.

It's a total mix with Joe Rogan, on the one hand he's had Alex Jones on his show with the two of them talking about taking drugs to communicate with aliens in another dimension, but on the other hand I thought he did a pretty good job interviewing Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders before the democratic primaries started. The quality of any single one of his episodes is largely driven by the quality of his guest. I honestly think Joe fills the role of an average guy asking the kind of questions most average guys would ask very well. He also generally sounds sincere, curious and unbiased when he brings people on his show. Yeah someone like Alex Jones can take the show way off the rails, but on the other hand he's interviewed people like Edward Snowden, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Elon Musk, Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders and had very interesting and thoughtful conversations with them. In fact when it comes to non-mainstream political candidates like Andrew Yang, Joe was one of the few people to give them more than a few minutes to articulate their platform.
For what it's worth, I think Cook is a better CEO for the current era than Jobs would have been. He's not a strong public speaker, sure, but he's an operator who can execute on the vision Jobs laid out better than anyone.

On a personal level he's also a much more compassionate/empathetic person which I think plays well in the current social climate. I can't imagine Jobs getting away with some of his fabled antics today.

Finally, and probably due to the previous point, Cook is much more adept at playing the geopolitics game with India, China, Trump, etc..

But yes, him fielding random developer questions would be awkward at best. Which is why they shoo him off stage in favor of Craig/Sruji/some mid-level manager to talk tech every chance they get.
Nice summary!! :)

Not affiliated with them, this is just what I found on Google, but here are their benefits [1]. They don't seem that great honestly. New hires need to work for 3 years before they can get more than 13 days of PTO, and you only get 20+ days after working there for 15 YEARS.

For comparison I work at a university and we get 20 days PTO on day 1. Plus very long holidays (2 weeks in december / january when the semester is out).

Old-style COBOL translates trivially to or from very brain-dead imperative style code with lots of goto.

If you can look past the syntax, modern COBOL is a decent enough compiled language, with most of the stuff you'd expect.
The fact that this attitude is an easier political sell than the more complex but more fair alternative, is exactly the reason why the rules were changed so you had to already be rich to e.g. be allowed to invest in Facebook before they went public at a $100 billion valuation in 2012.

Imagine, Facebook's valuation was less than $100 million at one point, and people considered it exuberant back then. Factor of 1000 difference even with the IPO valuation. The mind boggles.

This whole .net stuff is actually fairly simple. People could easily grasp something like:

.Net framework (the same thing that MS always had)

A new named cross platform framework. Not just another .Net derivative.

And a new name for the standard. Something like the Common .Net API.

That would have pretty much eliminated all confusion.

Instead they went with
