There seems to be some doubt about rather water is added to the meat we purchase from fast food providers and in the grocery stores here. Truth is this has been going on for a very long time and for the most part it says this right on the packaging. For example, the turkeys we buy for Thanksgiving dinner are bloated up with added water. Read the labels.

We can postulate how a top down approach might work but these students will still be suffering while we sort and continually monitor (we won't) the system.

That's my preferred way of doing brackets, especially in languages where brackets are optional. I'm also a weirdo that likes default tabstops, subscribing to the philosophy that if your code is getting indented too far you might need to step back and reconsider what you're doing.
I think the amount of time (work) you have put into this would have given you enough dollars to rent a smallish vps for longer than the life expectancy of GitHub.

$50/hour = assuming 10 hours total = $500

A droplet on DO costs $5/month. On few others, it's down to 3$/month.

That will run you about 8-10 years with yearly discounts.
OOP is strictly run-time polymorphism. It may be that in some instances of OOP, what calls what is deducible at compile time. That subset alone is not OOP.

OOP means that an object which does not exist now can be written in the future, and loaded into code which has already been compiled and is already running now. The method calls in this existing code will correctly resolve to the method implementations in that object.
Let it not go unobserved that "lighten up" is the traditional rejoinder of those engaging in inappropriate behavior.

This formulation means: those in a position of relative social power, expect those in subordinate positions to accept stereotyping etc. at the expense of their own and other subordinate classes.

The humor, and this rejection of censure, is done to ritually encode and underscoring of the received power hierarchy.

In a world in which such rituals are being openly named, and confronted, it is very common for those called out to feel defensive, and act out of that defensiveness.
Giving cash back creates wrong incentives and you sign up different audience than if you offer airline miles. Airline miles are in demand for people who travel often (affluent) in comparison to people who wants to get $150 after signing up for cc (poor).

That said there are offers to get cash for signing up. Some time ago First Republic Bank was giving $300 for cc sign up for Google employees (aka rich people).

Well of course you would, you don't own the plane.

It really doesn't, though - any more than the printing press itself did or the television did. What was produced by them may have had societal implications, but the manufacturers of printing presses and televisions just went about their business of producing high quality printing presses and televisions as best they could.
> they encourage overspending

Do we have evidence rewards increase total spending? I thought it was more about issuers fighting for wallet share. Not increasing spend.
In fact I think we might even need more of these. How many people imagine ancient Roman architecture with white columns and white statues, when in fact there is evidence those were painted in varied colors. Without tools to aid our imagination we have effectively bleached ancient Rome.

Wow, that’s terrible. Do you happen to have a link to a specific story? I’d be interested in reading about it.
Years ago, and it might have stolen the story from somewhere else, there was a Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/Tales from the Darkside type show and in one episode space explorers are visiting the remains of a charred planet ~2,000 light years away. They learn the star that went supernovae and that it is the star the three wise men followed to Bethlehem.
> In a sense, supervisors are very similar to Kubernetes, but they work on the application level instead of the cluster level.

Good article, and very worth sharing, but it could have done without that part. That's a terribly unhelpful analogy. For those who Kubernetes it's wildly misleading, and for those who don't it's meaningless.

In practice emergencies happen once a year, so Im happy to get out of bed and help out however I can.
step 1) Spend the money you're given on improving the tool people use to browse the internet. Not the regional/social cause du jour that your circle of friends thinks you should abuse your power to support.

Mozilla became popular because of IT people recommending and installing it. That goodwill is long spent. Make a better product and STFU about everything else.

Get rid of all marketing & admin staff and hire more devs to fix the issues. Stop spending on social causes. There are more than enough orgs to look after that.

YOU HAD ONE JOB and you messed it up. Move Mozilla out of SF.
>However I believe that there are many companies that can't use cloud and they have to do everything on their private, isolated infrastructure.

Correct. There are regulations in some countries that force organizations to have data in their local infrastructures. There are some organizations that, by their nature, will rather have their data on their private clouds.

The stack differs from organization to organization, depending on the activity.

You'll find everything. Sorry for being generic, but it's kind of wild out there. One thing we do not to disrupt operations in these organizations is to work with them to have our own systems we control, and build connectors to acquire data in some form to work with it. We use Kafka, Spark, but have set Hadoop clusters for some clients, too. We used Python for most projects, Scala for other. We try and adapt to their data sources, for example when the data source is a Windows process in some machine that controls physical, moving, items where the client has hard constraints on the bandwidth of transmitted data.

We also helped some organizations acquire data from physical phenomena by building hardware to do so, and then repurposing software from our other projects to transmit the data from that hardware, and process these signals (protobufs, actors).

We work closely with their trams to decide what level of rawness we want the data. Sometimes we help them anonymize the data, too, working with their legal and security teams.

This also requires deep dives into their domain when the data sources are domain specific. Example: telecommunication billing systems, banking transaction data, reservoir characterization data, rail transportation control systems. We then source that data and route it to something the client wants to use.

We also build ML models, which is why they really hire us and the rest is something we have to do to get there. Then we develop applications to allow their people to either use these models, or train new models with new data.

Sorry for being generic, but it really depends. We have conversations with clients and adapt to their constraints, especially when these are very peculiar.

Now, doing that for many organizations and sometimes at the same time can be really taxing. This can lead people to actually leave the company as there is just too much to handle. Working on different projects is not for everyone. It also is slow and expensive: only extremely large organizations could afford our services. This is the primary reason we set to build our machine learning platform[0]. We want to accelerate this by 10x at least.

The power portion is already handled by USB-PD protocol. Part of the negotiation protocol is telling each side "what they can offer" and "what they accept" and picking the highest one that matches both sides. It often isn't displayed in software because I'm not sure there's a way (or at least a unified way) to display that back to a host processor.

Data doesn't make sense since USB2 is USB2, there's no context on how 'fast' it is (besides USB high speed vs. standard speed). USB3/Thunderbolt/etc is more complicated, but that's also a tricky behavior.

In principle, I agree that it would be nice if there was a unified software that could tell you what is negotiated and what an upstream device is 'looking for'. I imagine we might eventually get there... maybe... kinda depends on hardware vendors to enable that though.
Yes, it's a T14 Gen1 (AMD).
It seems more that Mozilla is not working at all (on it's Browser).

It's easier for a bunch of different teams to individually to tackle 5% problems. Even if some of them fail it's fine. And if you add up all of their improvements it's quite a lot. Whereas if you decide that one thing is the "main issue" and that turns out to be wrong later, you've wasted a lot of time and resources.

I don't think that is fair. A lot of people are using Firefox for ethical reasons. Their recent rounds of lay-offs while management is raking in millions leaves a bad taste for many Firefox users.

Sure, they can run their corporation/foundation in anyway they want. But if they run Mozilla as they are, they will lose a lot of mind share among typical Firefox users.

Materialize | Engineers | Marketing | NYC and North America Remote | http://materialize.io/careers

Materialize is a streaming database for real-time applications. Materialize lets you ask questions about your data, and then get low-latency, correct answers, which are kept incrementally updated as the underlying data changes.

Materialize is built on Timely Dataflow, a low-latency cyclic dataflow computational model, first introduced in the paper "Naiad: a timely dataflow system". Materialize is co-founded by Frank McSherry, the primary author of Timely Dataflow (http://timelydataflow.com) and Differential Dataflow (http://differentialdataflow.com), the two open source projects that power Materialize. Materialize itself is source-available and entirely written in Rust: https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize

Materialize is a team of over twenty, primarily based in New York City but also open to remote positions. We are hiring in all engineering positions (eng. manager, engineers from new grad to principal) as well as several non-engineering positions. For the full list, see http://materialize.io/careers

We are a team of significantly experienced individuals in databases and distributed systems, and looking to add more folks with that interest and/or experience to our team.

Why are Mozilla run by CEOs and not by the donators? Not practically, but by democratic election perhaps?

It seems odd to me that there is management like that in an organisation which is only backed by donations.

Is it not Valve which is run without any form of leadership and only by social consensus?
In the US every job I had required a criminal background check. Also when I volunteered to coach my kids team and also for other volunteering I did in their school.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea. For example, you don't want let a sex offender coach a kids team. And I don't care if that person already paid their dues. But you cannot ruin the life of someone who has a minor offense from years ago. People should be able to rehabilitate and improve their life. I don't know what employers do when a background check is not clean. If they actually consider the severity of it or immediately reject the candidate.
Which is a function of his management. The stock didn't go up in a vacuum.
So many questions about this one.

Why would something by in /usr/bin that would be manual deletion? Wouldn't it be in /usr/local/bin? Were they manually deleting a package managed binary?

For that matter, if you're manually installing a component like node with a large set of dirs and you might want a different version at some point (you're more likely to update to a newer major version of node than you are some base library for the system) why wouldn't you put it into /opt/node-X.Y.Z (if not an actual package for the distro)?

We could assume the people weren't as much admins as devs with some minimal admin experience so weren't familiar with some of these common admin practices that have been developed over the years to manage stuff easier and safer, but then why are they root with the ability to blow out /usr/bin and not a user account installing node locally?

It feels like there's some larger problems that even allowed something like this to happen. It's like hearing someone say "my simple webapp connected to the wrong DB server and completely deleted out all the databases there, including the billing one." The first response I have to something like that is "what were you guys doing that something like that was even possible?"
I haven't experienced USB-C much yet, but I have a good tangle of micro-USB cables that I need to label:

* Some carry data, but won't charge things.

* Some charge, but don't carry data.

* Some charge at a higher amperage.

Once upon a time, back when we used PS-2 connectors for keyboards and mice, we had the same problem. A keyboard wouldn't work in a mouse port (although they were the same physical connector), but a mouse might work in a keyboard port.

Would it be wrong for me to say I would like to take an old PS-2 cable and strangle anyone who thinks this kind of antics are a good idea?
Offering $5 dollars feels like it's ascribing a low value to the time/effort to help. Offering a coffee or beer feels like a better gesture/token of appreciation. It's not about the value then but about the gesture.

For anyone who is working, people are "giving" them $5 all the time. But they probably don't have people buying them coffee/beer/lunch all the time.
it's kind of impressive how, even those chemical space is vast, humans discovered salicylic acid from willow bark is a successful painkiller without ever running clinical trials or searching 1060 space.

Or how many chemicals we have were originally derived from plants. I wonder how they're finding these molecules without searching 1060 space?
It is certainly true that science is founded on philosophy and is arguably a branch of it, but the implicit question in the controversial passage from the review is whether modern philosophy's methods are adequate. In that regard, as pointed out by Eliezer Yudkowsky [1], two millenia of philosophic inquiry was blindsided by the more radical epistemic and metaphysical implications of 20th. century physics.

Personally, I feel that philosophy of the mind's preoccupation with materialism (or its denial) [2] is a distraction that is holding it back.

I fly Delta. I have never been harassed about their cards. I pay a premium to fly Delta on most routes. But it's partly to avoid this sort of crap. When I was in college and early adulthood, on the other hand, I'd gladly take some marketing in exchange for another twenty bucks in my pocket.

Banning that subsidy seems like a poor use of legislative power.
It guessed my age as 15 years younger than I actually am and then accused me of lying about my age.

I have personal anecdotal evidence. One friend will make increasingly frivolous purchases as they approach rewards thresholds. They ended up with 5-figure credit card debt and a net loss of funds because they considered rewards at time of purchase, but not the interest on the credit for not paying full statement balance.

I'd be curious to see a more formal academic analysis of this, however.
Yep, but you have to send the created dictionary to the client. I'm asking if there's compression setups that rely on the client already having a massive dictionary downloaded that's reused to decompress downloads from different sources.
Simple there are not meddling with DEA or Hollywood. They're good.
I can confirm this.

I got a really hard pneumonia few years ago. It took several days in hospital to find an antiobiotic which actually worked, and I was in pretty bad shape in ER when it finally started to work.

It took 10 weeks to recover back to work, and over a year before lungs were back to normal, confirmed by x-ray.

Pneumonia can be deadly, even for healthy young adult.
Oh I wish I had more points for this...
That's really annoying. I like to make little build environments with something like Vagrant and some scripts that will set up the toolchain. Having to use a browser and an account to download pieces to make it work makes that really difficult.
One solution could be to color codes the cables, so you see if it can support thunderbolt, charging or display port. And then different colours for the speed they support.

Same could be done with the connectors on the device you want to put them in. But I guess at least Apple wouldn't adopt them and simply support everything on every port and cable they sell, making their devices and cables more expensive but easier for customers.
That would be 400--1,000 years for a supernova 50 light years distant, and clearly less for a closer event.

I think these blog posts usually pretend it's simpler than it is. There's usually (almost always) durable storage required somewhere. But to respond to your example specifically, OTP offers quite a bit. To your points:

Queues: a coordinator genserver process per node, which uses poolboy to only run X jobs at a time

Tracking failures/sucesses: postgres

Exponential backoff: a function

Uniqueness across the cluster: stdlib global locking
(https://erlang.org/doc/man/global.html#trans-2)

draining: remote console

periodic tasks: a simple library that knows how to cron

I built a sharded cron-like scheduler in a few hundred lines of code. It's not doing a billion transactions per second, but it's been running in production for a few years without much drama. It's not complicated because it's just postgres and some standard erlang/elixir stuff.

Erlang has plenty of drawbacks, but this isn't it.
This is a common refrain, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I work with a bunch of C folks who never liked C++, and now write Rust. It just depends.
Sure, assuming no bugs. Always a safe assumption :)
>please don't do it with colored rings.

You say that but, and I realise it's pedantic, your comment only supports not limiting the identification to only coloured rings.

Coloured rings would be a very good solution for a large percentage of the users. Glyphs will also fail with the blind, maybe with dyslexics.

Or of interest, would you pay more for glyph coded versions? Just pondering if The Market would ever create a solution.
