That's right, we version all stdlib functions. I talk about it a bit here: https://blog.darklang.com/how-dark-deploys-code-in-50ms/

When we add a new version of a function, all the calls to the old function are unchanged. The autocomplete shows new users the new version (and not the old version), while people who are calling the old version get shown both.
Intel had a competitor to high bandwidth RAM on Intel Xeon Phi: the Hybrid Memory Cube.

HMC was interesting: the RAM operations could complete out-of-order (if one section of RAM was refreshing, maybe it'd be faster to out-of-order the responses). Too bad it never became popular. HBM / HBM2 still needs to account for refreshes, and still takes place in-order.
Using Craigslist to sell is like the Wild West. There’s no rules or enforcement, and many criminals use it. I’m not going to risk getting robbed trying to sell my iPhone.

Amazon has locked out private selling for most mainstream items unless you’re a business with a PO directly from the manufacturer. Also, their fees get higher the more your item competes with their own sales. Totally anticompetitive.
When looking for employees, using F# will surely help filter for the type of employees they would want.
This is sort of off-topic, but something I've been looking for is a good editor for writing prose. I want my vim keybindings because even with prose, editing is a big part of writing, but I want sane formatting -- margins, soft line breaks at reasonable text width, that sort of thing. I have not been able to get my vim configuration to a satisfying place for this use case; it seems hopelessly tailored to the code editing use case. Does anybody have something that works really well for this for them?

> What if that's both? What if it's neither?

Then the court doesn't need to show a particular bias towards either party on this subject. As you have very astutely pointed out, there exist other circumstances which may compel a court to apply a bias one way or another. That's what courts are for.

If a decade of childcare materially and demonstrably damaged their future career, they should take that into account. If not, no.

Please pay attention to the words I'm using - 'bias'. This means putting some weight on the scales, not dropping a bag of bricks on one of them.
A majority of the people would disagree with your assessment.

650 a month is neccessary for a life not to be rubbish? Don't forget he's paying half the existing mortgage and needs to find a new place to live and support himself. It alludes to those costs adding up to be greater than the 1600 per month he makes...
Quite a shitty accusation, isn't it?

Without knowing anything regarding the specific details, I would be pretty surprised if investors wouldn't be ready for both ups and downs.
>>"> The term inflation was initially used to describe a change in the proportion of currency in circulation relative to the amount of precious metal that constituted a nation’s money."

That definition of inflation makes no sense in the current monetary arrangements, it's, simply, not how it works anymore. There is not an "amount of precious metal that constituted a nation’s money." If some people don't understand that, we should aim to educate them.

>>"Keynesian economists changed the word to suite the needs of Keynesian theories."

Whatever the historical meaning of a word, inflation means something very clear now

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation:

"In economics, inflation (or less frequently, price inflation) is a general rise in the price level in an economy over a period of time, resulting in a sustained drop in the purchasing power of money."

You can't just revert the meaning because it suite your needs, and expect everybody agree. Whatever your feelings about it, that it what it means now.

You're absolutely correct about the presence of listings. I agree with your skepticism towards describing this as anything more than a one-off bad copyright flagging on eBay AU. That being said, the event does warrant attention to check whether it is part of broader (perhaps regional) behavior.
Men's weak standing in child custody cases is tied to the societal norms and practices that make men take less interest in their own children overall.

Ironically, this widespread disinterest in child care is what have allowed women to get these rights in the first place, because the late 1800's was certainly not a period of feminist dominion.
We're trying to do a new thing. If people don't like it, that's fine. So far, people love the concept (no infrastructure, trace-driven development), but it hasn't been complete enough, so that's what I'm working on.
Or the right bribes to be made.
I build my own desktops (which are workstations in all but name) for work because I want to know exactly what goes into it and make sure it's quality parts that are widely available without vendor specific motherboards and other stuff.

It's never bitten me, worst case I'd have to next working day a part from amazon.

For development workloads you simply can't beat that approach.

Recent example, unit tests on work issued macbook pro, 2 minutes, same tests on my PC, 39s.

This is already a thing: my usual running shoe store went out of business because of Covid, and the new one I went to has a machine that scans your feet and builds a 3D model. Like flouroscopy, I suspect it's mostly a gimmick: the shoes I ended up getting there are fine but don't seem to be appreciably better than the ones I would get at the store which measured my feet the old-fashioned way.

Telecom is... too nasty to touch to be honest.

Brazil tried it, we had a state company that had a monopoly of telecom, we broke it up intentionally in many tiny parts and sold them.

Results were basically this:

1. A bunch ended eventually merging, often with help of blatant corruption (for example one such merger was first denied, then approved again after the son of the president "sold" to a telecom company, his game company for 30 million, a game company that never made any games, and the son of the president before that was a zoo caretaker and didn't knew how to code).

2. Some are going bankrupt, with parts they bought being unprofitable, and will eventually get merged into the others.

3. A LOT of international 007-style spy shit happened because of this... We had our version of CIA spying on our own president, owner of a bank spied upon (seemly with good reason), Italy and Brazil spying on each other, agents getting arrested, agents disappearing, people bending backwards to release criminals and suspected criminals to avoid diplomatic incidents, people that disappeared or died, etc...

To be honest Telecom looks like the sort of thing that even touching with a mile-long pole you will still get shit splattered on you, and if you try a shorter pole it will be nuclear shit.

Isn't the problem about actual tracking and not the cookies?
If you track someone without using any cookie you still need to ask for consent.
I kind of don't understand the this post. Can someone explain why is it okay to track someone without cookie?
you see this sort of (religious) appeal to authority prevalently on topics like mask wearing, with phrases like “based on science” and “science tells us...” to justify largely politically-based beliefs, in many cases citing administrators or doctors (who are generally not first and foremost scientists) as ‘evidence’ (npr & nyt literally does this every day).

science has told us so far that masks might help at the margins, but hasn’t proven it, which indicates it probably shouldn’t be counted on as a primary mitigative measure, but the public signaling value is just too irresistible for the believers (transmission principally happens in private where social norms oppose mitigative measures).

Lethbridge Alberta has a refugee community from Bhutan. Their ancestors had migrated from Nepal and the Bhutan government denied that they were citizens. I am wondering if Bhutan hostility to this population might be based on fear of annexation as happened to Sikkim.
Disclaimer: I'm not an UX designer/analyst, but I've worked with people from the field closely.

> I fully disagree. Consenting to a usability study means I want to provide feedback and actively state what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what I didn't expect.

This is fine for an UX study that conducts in-person interviews as _one_ of the methods. This method is almost useless on its own, mostly because people behave differently when they know they're being observed (eg they do things in a more "optimal way" in order to avoid looking stupid in front of the person conducting the study).

Also, while active feedback is valuable, it can be harder to interpret. People say A, but mean B and then do something between A and B or just do C. Not because they're malicious, but because that was what came to mind when they tried to express something or just didn't know better, so there's an unintentional misalignment between intent, action, and what was expressed.

> It does not mean I want you to see what I do, where I leave my mouse, what I click on, what input I type -- and what input I then delete. If I wanted that then I would take screenshots or a video and share that.

This is exactly the type of thing you (as a designer) _want_ to know in order to identify friction and remove it. Obviously, you track what the user types only under certain conditions. An example would be, a number input: do user always type the same/similar values or increments of some values (isolated per user), should the input offer pre-defined incementors or buttons that just fill-and-submit it instantly (you'd do AB tests to see which work better then), etc.

I fully understand your concern about privacy, but not everything is run by reprobates who sell user's data. Sometimes "observing" is the best/easiest way to learn how to improve a user's experience.
Wonderfully well written article. Should display more from these guys.

The law does say it has to be "effective".
A good point.

Somewhat like the scientists you are criticizing, you ascribe a lot of meaning to little data. Support for your claims that they were celebrating and reveling in fame are very thin. I would like to see more evidence before we criticize not just their work but also them as people.
Unit tests don't just fail to find bugs because they don't give complete coverage (all testing has that problem, and the author is mistaken to say that end-to-end testing shows all bugs), they fail to find bugs resulting from faulty assumptions about how the units will interact. Boeing's faulty Starliner test demonstrated how that goes [1].

The true value in unit testing is in revealing the bugs it will find early in the process. One benefit of this is there will likely be fewer to be found in the end-to-end testing (or on deployment.)

There is no value in debating which is better. The important issue is how to allocate your testing budget effectively, because there is never even close to enough time to exhaustively test.

Airbnb | Remote (preferably West Coast), Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA | Senior Staff/Staff/Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | airbnb.com

Airbnb Infrastructure is hiring for several key positions - we're looking for talented engineers across a wide variety of domains to build the platform that supports Airbnb's mission to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere.

Airbnb is at a pivotal point in its growth and maturity as an engineering orgnaisation. We run some of the largest Kubernetes clusters in the industry, have open sourced some extremely successful data tools (e.g. Superset), and are rapidly adopting newer technologies like Flink and Istio.

We use Terraform, AWS and Chef extensively. My team (Cloud Infra > Compute Infra) mostly uses Golang but it helps to have familiarity with (or a lack of fear of) Java and Ruby, which most of our product teams use.

We have positions open for senior, staff and senior staff engineers across the following teams:

* Data Platform

* ML Infrastructure

* Developer Productivity

* Cloud Infrastructure

Note that these positions are for experienced engineers and it helps if you have 5+ years of experience and/or have acted in a similar capacity in prior roles.

Check out all open roles and apply here: https://airbnb.com/careers. If preferable, you can also send me a brief note about why you'd be a good fit, a link to the role you're interested in, and a resume to sunil.shah@airbnb.com.
That sounds like paranoid ramblings.
Lawyers would argue that it might be a good idea to put up a sign if your neighbors have a dog that could attack them.

(weak argument but somewhat funny).

Lawyers are ultra cautious. If you can -guarantee- that no one is going to magically add tracking/google analytics or some such to your site than sure, tell them you don't need the banner.
It depends on the market.

I have been designing semiconductors since 1997. All of the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools from Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor, and others are written for Unix/X11. Back then everyone had a Sun SPARC or HP PA-RISC on their desk. A few had an IBM RS/6000 or maybe a DEC Alpha. In the server room we had some Sun Enterprise E4000 class machines with 12 CPUs and 16GB RAM.

We started using Linux on the desktop as X terminals to the Suns in the closet and got rid of most of our Sun desktops.

From around 2002-2012 all of the EDA vendors ported their tools to Linux and we ran them straight on our Linux desktops. For multiple simulation runs we would send those jobs to the server cluster machines through LSF.

Since around 2013 the 3 companies I have worked for have used virtual desktop sessions using NX or X2Go running on the remote servers. All of the remote servers run Linux with a GNOME/KDE/XFCE desktop. Then we run the client on whatever machine and OS you want. Disconnect your session at work, go home, reconnect, and you have the exact desktop with everything open just as you left it.

> If the law is not agreeable soon it will be unenforceable.

Lots of awful laws remain enforceable for very, very, very long times. For example, the whole industry of private prison contractors profiting from prisoner labor, with prisoners sometimes being legally required to participate and always being paid far below the usual minimum wage, and with contractual provisions between the prison companies and the states about how full the states will keep their prisons, leading to the creation and proactive enforcement of lots of crimes with prison as a punishment to keep that pipeline filled. Non-inheritable slavery never got outlawed as a criminal sentence, even if states have chosen to limit their implementation of that to prison labor instead of "you but not your family are now literally a slave for the rest of your lifetime."

> I consider the rulings inappropriate [...] on the basis of construction an egalitarian society.

Many people agree with you, and I believe they share your reasons. But many people disagree with you, including me, on the basis that properly crafted affirmative action efforts are addressing an existing inequality in our not-at-all-egalitarian society.

That's not to say a qualified white person should see their application refused on the basis of rigid racial quotas - we both agree that should be illegal, and as we discussed it already is.

But yes, to me it seems fair and egalitarian to take into account something like race that routinely leads to disadvantage and discrimination (or alternatively advantage and privilege) even in today's society when evaluating a person's achievements and obstacles, and in planning outreach and recruitment efforts. People do likewise for other similarly impactful factors like poverty, disability, and migrant status, and rightly so. I view this as appropriate both in university admissions and in viewing success stories like Kelsey Hightower's as even more impressive than if he were Just Another White Guy In Tech(tm) ... highlighting the sad fact that stories like his are so rare is part of the point of the article.

> Again, see my example about Missouri statutory expenditures on the basis of gender and race. Many states have laws like this. They plainly violate the equal protection clause.

I haven't properly thought through the case about state government statutory expenditures, so I don't have a strong opinion there right now on what is either constitutional or appropriate. I think that case's constitutionality or lack thereof is a far less clear question than you apparently do.

But if any such programs are making significant progress toward fixing disproportionate imbalances in government expenditures that come from the systemic sexism and racism in society without getting the government substandard value per dolllar, any invalidation of those programs should be coupled with the adoption of some adequately effective replacements with fewer constitutional issues.
Economists make mistakes. Like any other science. Their uncertainty is larger than something like physics, but not large enough to be considered pseudoscience.

In newspapers they’ll shoot their mouths, but in their journals, they’re quite scientific.

Your criticisms kinda remind me of data science work, where you say “the effect of doing this will probably be between -3 and +7, assuming X, Y, and Z, so it’s worth looking into.” Which PMs (like politicians) take as 2 (+/- 5) and promise the rest of the org a gain of 2. Then we implement it and it comes out as -1 and you need a post mortem about how data scientists (economists) got it so wrong.
Why is the BBC using Medium?
That's a pretty amazing comment to me. Perhaps I am biased because of all the blood sweat tears and life I spent publishing papers in academia. Generally, with the exception of certain low quality publication venues, certain fringe areas of humanities, and of course review papers, each academic paper is a new contribution to science that has never been made before. Heating and cooling something to unjam it? That's been done since the dawn of modern engineering. A neat story (and I mean it), but hardly an astounding level of innovation and creativity.
Using complex parameters, clever.
But the regulator guide is about GDPR. And it's consistent with what I wrote - GDPR law does not require consent for such cookies. So the regulator is ok with no consent.

Apart from GDPR law, there's also separate EU Cookie Legislation which was passed before GDPR. This regulation require clear user notification (not consent) that cookies are used. As far as I know (but I might be wrong, I don't follow it) this law is still in place and GDPR did not replace it. So that means you still need cookie notification banner (but not with "I accept" button but with "I understand").
But if you were polling, say, PG's blog and posted it here within minutes of it being published you'd accrue all the benefits of the dupes, no?
And if you know anyone who has paid for content that suddenly they had lost access to because of shut down DRM servers or intermittent internet connectivity, then you might be inclined to think a bit differently.

Ultimately I think there needs to be a balance here, and most importantly users ought to be made more aware of what they're usually getting when purchasing DRM-protected content: a limited license to consume their paid-for content for a (possibly unspecified) period of time on a specific set of devices under certain circumstances that often lie well beyond their control.

I'd like to think that some kind of free market-based approach of consumers choosing to support the content creators who take a more balanced approach to DRM (or just avoid it entirely) would "solve" these problems, but I'm not too hopeful of this ever working out given the enormous knowledge asymmetry between content creators/distributors and consumers about how stuff like this works.
Seems like a case of hasn't cracked yet, not can't crack.
Fair enough. I would agree that, in general, we as a society are very bad at cost estimating large projects which tends to make them have budget shortfalls.
A Brush with the Goncourts
You can't install it, and this early on you shouldnt. My word alone probably does not carry much weight, but it is relatively safe, likely safer for usage than most current distributions where the only form of security is an up to date kernel. We opted to use a sort of stateful/stateless security model, where the system is stateless and varified on boot, and user files are stored inside an encrypted partition with relatively strict permissions for now.
This is why humans need to test end-to-end when there is a UI component. Trying to automate tests on a GUI is the most torturous aspect of software with no long term success unless your GUI is primitive and never changes. It’s easier to just send it off to a low-cost center and have them hand test various scenarios and create a report.
I'm also not sure if this is enough of a problem to try to solve preemptively, if there's one example from four years ago from a state-level election.

If outcomes in general are better, I'll take the risk that they're occasionally worse.
IMHO, it was the whole package: One tool that could configure and wrangle all the various kernel namespaces in order to make containers work.

They also benefited significantly from the splash they made and the tech excitement factor. I still run into people in my consulting work that are fairly new to containers, but brand recognition on Docker is through the roof. Everybody has heard of them even if they don't know what it can do for them.
