Lots of parts can be used separately! The parser for code analysis or refactoring tools, the JIT to accelerate programs (anything state machine based for example is pretty much like a VM), the garbage collector to embed in other programs (especially interpreters). I mean… these are just the most obvious, there are many more use cases.
Uh-huh. Much freedom. Very liberty.

Credit card companies would get bowled over in a second if we didn't let them leverage their size into anticompetitive contract terms, but this is America! We love oligopolies, low-competition markets, anticompetitive behavior, and rent-seeking. Freedom, baby!

That's funny. As a native of the south (Charlotte) who lived in Seattle for a while, I would have used your first point to describe west coast people. Almost nobody in Seattle would make conversation with strangers. When I went back to Charlotte after a few years in Seattle, I was sort of blown away by the fact that I had an entire 5 minute conversation with a homeless person on the bench next to me while I was waiting for an uber - and not once did he ask for money. It was just him asking if I needed directions and then we talked about the weather and the city. (I'm not saying that's the norm, but that does not happen ever Seattle). I used to hate random small talk when I was growing up, but I now understand that it's a sign of an overtly friendly culture, which is not a bad thing in my book.

I haven't spent much time in DC myself but, I had wondered about it. Your description definitely doesn't make it sound like a good time for me either. I've glad you got out and are (hopefully) happier elsewhere!

Oh man. I had to deal with programs organized this way when you were my manager and I had tons of maintenance concerns :D

Have things really changed so quickly? 15 years ago, basically all the boys in the neighborhood would hang out in the woods and catch frogs and whatnot. That said, I grew up in a safe neighborhood, so maybe it depends on the area.
It sounds like the last point, about disobeying the rules when appropriate (my reading of it), was meant exactly to cover these corner cases.
Absolutely. I've been burned too many times by startups with proprietary clouds. They always either go bankrupt or get acquired and shut down.

> We can see that a higher mean and a higher standard deviation result in higher option value.

This is a pretty unconvincing argument, because increasing the standard deviation increases the expected value of a lognormal distribution, even without any weird option payoffs being involved.
So it’s basically just markdown? This is what everyone has been raving about?

One parsing technique that covers a lot of ground for little code is parser combinators[0]. And the more space and time efficient Parsec library[1]. Recursive descent is not difficult to hand-roll but the correspondence between the code and BNF can be more obscured, whereas with parser combinators the correspondence is quite clear.

I agree with his point though, and I could have written that post myself. Its not that you fully understand everything on here, its that you are familiar enough that it removes the magic of it. I have been grappling with the same issue, in the past I could read manuals on distributed databases, but now I know enough about how those distributed systems work under the hood, its boring for me
If you’ve been an accountable executive in both entrepreneurial startups and global enterprises, this article resonates.
Fair enough, extend the "call them" category to also mean signatures occasionally required by mail. I have had to do that, say with certain rarely-used financial situations. Though not banks, who are very accommodating in my experience (even the notoriously evil ones).

First class mail is working internationally, by the way, to almost every country. Unless they're in Yemen or something perhaps. Keep in mind we were comparing the dangers of corporations to governments. So being in a developing country during a pandemic when there's a communications breakdown with the US also presumably means you can't access a US consulate either. So you'd have the exact same difficulty if it was a govt agency you needed to deal with instead of Google/Facebook/Microsoft.
It's amusing - I like light laptops but at this point I'd prefer an artificially deep case just so they could get some key-travel back in. For portability of a laptop the width really isn't a consideration... For phones and tablets ditto.
In C++ you can link with your own version of malloc (one which just returns the next consecutive block, and can be implemented simply by adding the allocated size to a pointer).
I grew up in the 90s in a low-density suburb in Michigan and was allowed to bicycle around the neighborhood and hang out with other kids (although, I was also pretty introverted and usually not interested in that). I rode a school bus to school along with most of my classmates. That said, access to things like nature, shops and restaurants, and the library all required a car - not being able to access those independently made me feel somewhat restricted compared to how my parents described their childhoods (dad in a walkable college town, mom in a rural area where kids played in the woods) and compared to kids I read about in books.

One very noticeable recent-ish norm shift seems to be parents dropping off and picking up elementary and middle-school age kids at school. I don't know exactly when the trend started, but it seemed to hit critical mass after 9/11, and over the course of the following decade seemed to become the norm to the extent that suburban schools started remodeling their grounds and parking lots to accommodate a waiting line of parents in cars - something I've seen now in multiple states.
Do you think we don't know how Nash equilibrium works? The fact that the rules of a game can be adjusted to drive it away from optimum -- far away, sometimes even to the opposite extrema -- is a pretty basic economic concept and this is a pretty basic example of that concept. Market inefficiency 101 type stuff. That's why everyone else here is focusing on the metagame.

And no, 2.5% is not typical. Maybe Walmart gets 2.5%. I've seen between 4% and 15% in those few instances when the man behind the curtain has been distracted and true rates have snuck past his veil of secrecy.
Illinois' Demographic Collapse: Get Out As Soon As You Can

https://www.thestreet.com/mishtalk/economics/illinois-demogr...

Illinois News Network reports "A Southern Illinois University at Carbondale poll from 2015 showed that half of the Illinois residents polled would leave the state if they could. The No. 1 reason: Taxes."
a lot of this selectorlib (get text or attributes) is achievable with xpath 1.0, which is built-in browsers and testing tools. What I do in my scrapping framework is that it takes a dict of name -> xpath and return a json object. This way the framework knows exactly what need to be etracted and stop loading the page as soon as all information are collected.
This actually happened to me and 11 other colleagues back in 2002. I was working for a mid-tier IT consultancy and a bunch of us were working at a utility on a long-term program. Having delivered the initial version of this core system, and still hanging around doing a lot more dev work (many more features and fixes), the utility turned around and did a deal with the consultancy for a dozen of us to "go native", presumably with a suitable financial compensation as well as the promise of a level of continued engagement beyond our transfer.

The surreal part came when the CEO of the consultancy and the CIO and CFO of the utility took the dozen of us out to dinner at a very upmarket restaurant. There were multiple times that night when a few of us felt like chattel. I almost felt like I should be baring my teeth so the new owner could check me out. Very weird, but it was a win-win and I stayed at the utility 7 years doing some really interesting work.

EDITED TO ADD: I should point out that our salaries went up, but for the utility that was still cheaper than the T&M rates they were paying.
I think the marketing works because it gives you just one option that everyone automatically uses. I just downloaded a 5th messaging app from the Play Store because everyone uses something different. It is exhausting. This is one case I hate having "choices" among 100s of mediocre apps.
I would love to have these coding challenges. But if I have to commit a Sunday evening just for it, I really don't think it's worth it.
The RIAA should provide me with a dedicated device and pay me for any and all traffic use that is unrequested/ad-related, instead of trying to hack the PC and network connection that I am paying for to force me to watch ads.
Maybe because open source software projects are not design driven? If you do something for free, don't you want to call the shots? If designers would come up with a design, which volunteer programmer would implement it?
"lovecraftian toolchain" is one of the greatest phrases I've ever heard and I use it all the time now to describe portions of the tech stack I'm exposed to at work.
Anecdata: I taught a class on product management at my alma mater last year and thought it would be nice to bring my students snacks (cookies, fruit snacks, occasional grocery store baked goods, etc.). Sure as hell, I (first time teacher) got the highest average rating across the department. Definitely lots of confounding variables (for example, I was doing it for fun for a semester rather than for a career), but definitely something to be said for bribery...

Computer people probably see the nondeterministic behavior in words like “primarily” as evidence of a bug. To the law school graduates who write the laws, it’s a feature and not a bug that these decisions are made by a judge in a courtroom.

This naming is needlessly confusing. BeyondCorp is a name invented by Google to describe its internal approach to security, and now it's a Google Cloud product. Why would Transcend reuse this name? It sounds as if Transcend is a middleman reselling a GCP product.

At the same time, it makes life easier and most importantly consistent for all those who have an iPhone. For mass market, openness of platforms don’t sell well. What general audiences want is a solid customer experience and based on sales, Apple’s hit the mark in terms of communicating and delivering on this value lever.

Democrats in Texas may not be so marginal after this election.

Texas has been predicted to become a tossup state within 20 years, and this year it is close enough to be flipped by good turnout.

And if the GOP loses Texas as a bulwark, they become marginalized.
All these metrics are very short-term and the user dissatisfaction builds up over time. It makes sense for everyone involved (the short term is all that counts for investors and CEOs), but I personally can't wait to see Facebook eat itself.

I love using things written in Rust, because if nothing else I know it's going to be resource efficient and the deployment will be nice and easy.

Java applications: I hope there's enough spare memory, I hope the setup instructions aren't littered with "set this obscure JVM config in some obscure way, that isn't the application config, but we won't tell you how/where, you've just got to figure that one out"
I would argue that they removed the first one who was dumb enough to out themselves with a like button click. There are many more who will just keep a lower profile.

Regardless, I just can’t bring myself to accept the idea that clicking a thumbs up emoji can send you to prison. I don’t care how bad the picture is. That doesn’t sit right.
Have you ever actually been to Wyoming?

I've driven through it down I-80 and spent the night there a few times, but man I would never move there. The winter is incredibly harsh, and the wind was like nothing I've ever experienced. In the course of days otherwise non-eventful winter driving, I counted at least 3 trucks that had been blown off the highway. It's super remote, and some of the locals I met were not particularly friendly. I'm sure this all appeals to some folks, but man - it does not appeal to many of the folks I know. There's a reason why the population is so low.

If you're actually the kind of person who is leaving a solid blue start and cares about "tipping" the balance somewhere else, you'd be much better off going to a state that's already purple or trending that way. Ie, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia.
I’ve seen that, and it doesn’t support your claim at all. There is literally one case in there that happened in 2000.

Did you make it up? Because that’s an extremely serious charge, and shouldn’t be made lightly. You cause more animosity and tension when you spread narratives that convince people that certain groups are out to murder them, and this can escalate into real violence.

Because it's slow and difficult to use compared to sketch. Plus I need my files on my drive 100% of the time and routinely work without reliable network access.

I get kind of why Figma is popular, it solves issues with sharing and collaboration. But the day to day usage is crippled by the fact it's in a browser and not a standalone app where I need it to have total control over keybindings and shortcuts for my workflow. Meanwhile in the browser, hijacking that behavior is a UX antipattern.

Sketch is just so much less cumbersome than Figma it's not even funny. It's easier to use than illustrator and Xd too.
The problem with this is not many people actually use Twitter, and they actively derank content they don't like. For example just today I noticed "#donutdick" trending because the leader of the opposition down here said something stupid, but if I look literally anywhere else on the internet all I see is people criticising the premier.

I think you're 100% correct, social media stories are the equivalent of the cute fluffy stories 20 years ago, but there's a huge moral hazard associated with that.
What does "maximizing global happiness" look like in practical terms? Is it more than "removing unnecessary suffering" (which is more like raising a floor than maximising a ceiling)? Stuff doesn't seem to make people happy long term. And the things which seem they might - purpose, family, connections, community - are things you can't easily push upon others.

What form might it take, what might it look like?

This product I feel misses that middle management exists to deal with people rather than information. People are messy and individual contributors often don't want to deal with them.

Currently: I have a product idea, I sell it to my manager, my manager sells it to others managers, those managers sell it to their teams. My manager deals with politics in a well defined group of people they are familiar with.

Proposed Future: I have a product idea, software chooses 10 people who are stakeholders and will vote In it, I now need to sell my idea to those 10 people. I deal with politics in an undefined group of people that constantly changes.
If everything is boring to you I am pretty sure it is because it is trivial to you so it's possible you may come up with more interesting applications.

This is fine - they are going to make an example out of Twitter, continuing to keep the Post’s account locked plays right into it. My guess is that we’ll see a direct sanction against Twitter, and some sort of legislation that will indirectly penalize the other big tech companies by increasing their liabilities.

I would argue that Apple card is actually a significantly different and better experience purely by virtue of being able to cycle the number at will. I no longer have to worry about the safety of handing my card number out over the phone. I no longer have to wait for a new card if the old number gets compromised. I no longer have to deal with completely inept new card processing agents who fail to actually send the card to the right address while I'm traveling after half a dozen tries and they keep just sending the damned thing to my house which they know I'm not at.
Off topic but I just tried to move from MacOS to Pop!_OS and this is the main reason that I can't migrate now. No GPU Accel on Chrome means scrolling is horrid on QHD/higher resolution (besides YouTube being pretty much useless). Firefox is fine but there's no user profile modes to separate between my various profiles. With so much work being done on browsers, it feels weird that Linux is so behind on this. And Chrome seem to not want to implement the GPU acceleration at all. I guess I'll pay the Apple tax for the foreseeable future.
Thanks to both of you.

I made up for this a little bit, later on, by hacking aima-python and a few other things on my own time -- that was probably more fun to work on anyway.

hey sorry i didn't reply, i don't check the threads all too often.

that's cool! good luck with that. I think many of us already have many bots that we use. But honestly the biggest hurdle was the audio issues. At least with Mumble it is the evil we know, but when we first tried Guilded like 5 months ago, even getting the client to switch microphones was a big chore and we couldn't get some people to even get on voice chat.

Point is, if you can make it work as seamlessly as discord, it is definitely a step in the right direction. I love the thread features, all the document management, I eat that shit up, but no good voice, no use.
Apparently a company called VirnetX is seeking damages from Apple over iMessage and FaceTime, which some people (in my previous discussion among others) point out as their excuse not to develop cross-platform iMessage as they do cross-platform Apple Music. I don't have any evidence of Apple themselves claiming this as the excuse.

Moderation has always been a pain point.

Source: was a junior moderator on CompuServe, was the hub for a BBS network.

I determined in late 80s that editor was most valuable function for coping with "infoglut" (term coined by BYTE Magazine?). The editor role's is to filter and explain.

Today we'd call that function or role curation.

The only thing that has changed is the scale. Any criticism of moderation you could possibly articulate has already been pile driven into the deep firmament by legions of people before you.

FWIW, I'm personally familiar with a handful of sites that do moderation well. HN, ravelry.org, r/askhistorians, metafilter. There's certainly others. I'd LOVE for some academic ethnographers anthropologists to try to explain how and why and when moderation seems to work well. In the style of Clay Shirky or Michael Lewis, making stuff obvious once someone points it out.
