Quoting and parsing continue to surprise people, and I don't blame them -- you're embedding one programming language inside another (regex inside bash), and they use some of the same reserved symbols and have slightly different quoting rules. And, every language is "inspired" by the others, but have their own special rules, so the more you learn, the less sure of anything you'll ever be. (For example, '(' matches a literal parenthesis in Emacs Lisp regexes, and '\(' starts a capture group!)

For matching literal periods, I personally have gotten into the habit of using "[.]" instead of "\.". Less to go wrong in this double-embed scenario, and I have never ever regretted adding the extra byte to my regexp. (Of course, character classes have their own weirdness. Your editor that matches bracket paris will love the syntax for matching a literal '['.)
When the price isn't optimal, which it never really is, it's not an equal exchange of value.
The typical tautology toted that if you spend X then it's worth X is just willfully missing the point that there's such thing as a bad deal. When you build bad deals into a system such that some group of people only has bad deals as options, you are able to extract wealth from them. That's what life is for many people -- a series of bad deals with no other options.
How exactly will SFO know how much the CEO's compensation is? And maybe companies can get rid of the CEO title and just call her Chairman of the Executive Council or something?

> What this does is, it collects money from today's FAANGs while disincentivizing future startups from starting here.

I think it’s gonna disincentivize FAANGs from making future investments in the city. This is BAAAAD timing for a tax hike like this, coming off tech companies doing a seven month experiment in whole-company WFH, and finding out it’s working pretty well.
I believe some environments are still beta. I have enjoyed flutter even with that limitation.

> but didn't anyone foresee that this will call into question the legitimacy of the election.

Those people were derided for questioning the legitimacy of the election.

Also some of the states were monumentally stupid in the way they designed their vote counting schemes regarding mail-in.

>There is no landslide, as everyone expected. This is the worst possible outcome.

I agree. A landslide in either direction leaves no doubts. Even if it was a mail-in landslide. An election of questionable legitimacy is how wars start. But that would be very in character for 2020.
I believe there is a deadline for states to certify the results (which is generally weeks out, I think), and the electoral college votes in December so that also imposes a hard national deadline.
Each state's legislature decides that, so naturally states will differ on deadlines for when mail can arrive. Also, the count dragging on is because counting hasn't finished on the sheer quantity of mail-in ballots received before election day, not after (which are insignificant in number).
I think this is a common line of thinking that doesn't actually reflect the reality of how much the city is spending per year.

SF's spending in 2019 was 12b dollars (roughly $12,000 per resident).

Of that, 1.6b went to MTA ($1600 per resident, or 13% of total spending)
and 360m went to addressing homelessness ($360 per resident, or 3% of total spending)

Comparatively, SF's GDP was 500b (500,000 per resident).

To conclude that we're spending all our money on this and getting no results seems wrong when we're spending so little of our budget, and our budget is so little comparatively to the economic activity.

I have never seen a high density city have low rents. Mumbai, Hong Kong, London, NYC. Is there any factual and proven example of a city that has increased density and housing became affordable and cheaper as a result of more units?

You are talking about state relevant to the implementation. OP was talking about state from a conceptual point of view. To the user there is no state. The user does not need to keep track of what they evaluated and in what order as in Jupytr. That is a kind of state that exits conceptually and which is very visible to the user.
Outstanding ballot counts are almost always estimates. Many states allow mail-in ballots as long as they have been postmarked by election day, which means there can be a week or more lag before the precinct receives the ballot. Additionally, provisional ballots are usually counted last, and the number of those isn't known until they start counting them.

The process is dragged on for days because Republicans prevented the States from passing legislation that would allow them to start counting the mail-in ballots early, among other reasons.

The deadline is December 8th.

A ton of states are still counting, see California for example. People are only interested in the swing states though.
there have been substantial delays in the mail (possibly by design). if a ballot is postmarked before the deadline, authorities are obligated to make every effort to count it.

I'm not sure what the deal is regarding the withholding of counts. seems unnecessary now that the polls are closed.
But again, bzr and launchpad are their own tools. If they are bad it's not an argument for snap.

Other distros have their packages updated very quickly without snap.
"Hillary Clinton warns of Trump trying to ‘sneak or steal his way’ to a second term"

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/19/hillary-clinton-dnc...

Every side accuses the other side of stealing the election. It's pretty much an american tradition. I bet in 2016, you were screaming at the top of your lungs that "Trump stole the election".

> One political party has been trying to undermine the system and sow mistrust within its own ranks in order to maintain political power.

Are you claiming that the republican and democratic parties are one and the same? Because you would be right.

I love all the democratic operatives here accusing Trump of delegitimizing the election process when that's all they've been doing the past 4 years. Now, it's the republican side's turn I guess.

Hypocrisy is the ugliest human trait.
What's a reasonable grep alias I should add to my .bashrc?
Haven't read the law, but if the impact is large enough wouldn't some companies think about outsourcing their decision making to a different company? I'm sure the lawyers can come up with an agreement that in day to day operations is the same as the management team being employees but that doesn't trigger the extra tax because the decision makers aren't really employees. You just bifurcate the company into two separate companies, the highly paid people and everyone else.
There are no unusual resumes in tech, just ones you don't understand, and that says more about you than it does me that you think it's unusual.

That's silly. There are plenty of unusual resumes. For example, someone whose mobile app got millions of downloads while he was still in high school. Someone who is a chess grandmaster. Someone who has no college degree, but is the top-rated answerer of Stack Overflow questions in a popular category. It's not like there are thousands of resumes out there just like this, and I just haven't seen them due to my biased experience.
I don't think an offshore company gets around the requirement to report your holdings. You would legally need to report on that company and pay taxes on any profits if you are a US citizen.

But you could likely defer taxes this way, by holding the bitcoin with the offshore company. You would then only pay taxes when you liquidated the bitcoin and paid yourself something.

Whereas if you held the bitcoin yourself, you would need to liquidate to pay taxes every year that it increases in value.

You don't have to have a global network to have global acceptance - RuPay[1] is a domestic-only network in India, but RuPay cards are accepted internationally via the Discover network. And the Fed seems to be heavily emphasizing interoperability with existing/external financial systems for FedNow, so there's no reason to think that wouldn't extend to interoperability/integration with international partners to extend acceptance internationally.

And even if they don't, siphoning off a huge chunk of domestic-only US transactions will still be a massive blow to Visa and Mastercard's revenue stream. And the ubiquitous nature of FedNow domestically could easily disrupt market dynamics, if/when it reaches a point of saturation where businesses can actively choose to not accept Visa/Mastercard payments. Squeezing their 40-50+% profit margins on top of reducing their revenue, as they're forced to actually be competitive against FedNow.

Shame on Twitter for making this student go through these efforts. It’s clear the company is abusing the DMCA to avoid criticism.
Because states have the right to choose their voting process as long as it complies with the 14th Amendment, and the process has worked for them as long as it has.

There's plenty of time between Election Day and when the votes actually have to be in, and it's actually unusual for all the votes to have been counted entirely by the end of Election Day even in a normal year from what I recall.

The votes aren't due for another little while anyway. So who cares whether Election Day is postmarked-by day or received-by day?
That makes it even more unlikely that there will be much revenue at all generated by this tax. Seems like the beneficiaries of this new plan will be tax accountants and lawyers creating new complicated business structures to bypass the tax...
Can you point out how making a drug illegal keeps it out of the hands of addicts? Sure seems like cocaine has been doing just fine while illegal...
For my part, as someone who's just starting to look into cross platform development again after a couple decades of not caring, I have been 100% focused on Cordova and React Native. JavaScript on the front end seems like the only viable option, so I'm going with it despite my strong distaste for JavaScript.

I dismissed everything else pretty quickly for being too limited in what platforms I could target. Kotlin's out for being a poor choice for iOS. Dart/Flutter is out for not yet having fully baked desktop support.
> According to this theory, as I understand it, you can't have the differences among people be too great because it will cause too much power imbalance and resentment and eventually the masses will rise up and destroy the system from within.

You shouldn't think of the destruction of the system from within as the problem. Some might fear that, but afterall, its unlikely that the people without power would beat those that have it.

The problem is the power zero sum game in itself. Wealth and power are both ways to gather even more wealth and power. In a simple society without a government you could simply use the power to buy weapons and soldiers to coerce the wealth of others. In our society you can use power to shape the rules more favorably for your own group.

As the wealth ratio of one group converges to 100%, the other groups have gradually less influence, unless allowed by those in power because of ideology or their good hearts.

Either you see this as fine and natural, or your ideology prefers everyone to have some amount of freedom over their own lives.

In the later case you may look at ways to reduce the wealth and power inequality, by weeding out rules particularly favorable to the powerful, or by trying to spread wealth more evenly.

Oh no, you have to copy/paste the title?

I can access the site without a captcha, my browser can fetch the title.

>is it not self-evident that a link being crawlable is useful?

No, it is not. Maybe a site owner does not want crawlers to index the site?

Me being able to access the title and any html meta tags is not the same as some crawler being able to access it. It seems like your beef is with cloudflare and that is fine but please state that that is your issue and don't try to frame it as something else. What I don't get is how everybody places the blame at cloudflares feet. It is my choice as a host to use cloudflare and to use their protection features.
That would require they are all educated about bitcoin, which is unlikely.
Sure, an IDE comes with all the tools and features right out of the box. But not everyone needs all of them. I don't see a problem with combining tools, which is really easy with Vim as it already runs in the terminal.

I installed a couple plugins in Vim. But those all provide
features I actually use and they barely affect performance. But
more importantly I just prefer the Vim approach: start out with a
minimal UI and feature set and only add or tweak what is needed.
No weird and distracting auto-formatting while I'm still typing, more intuitive
tabs/buffers and nothing running in the background all the time.
I might be an outlier because most editors and IDEs have
standard configs that I find distracting and frustrating, but I rather put a motor and bags on my bicycle than start
cutting down a truck.
My guess would be Rust. That is assuming the original reason was not not in fact making a "better Git".
The right thing is whatever the business needs to succeed and spending more time on cleaner code isn't it for startups. You're assuming employees don't know how to write cleaner code rather than them choosing not to for the sake of lower time to market.
Not sure why everyone is still looking at the Secretary of State numbers when they have been clearly outdated throughout the count.

You can get a more accurate number by subtracting the mail-in votes counted (under PA results) from the total ballots cast. This gives 269888 ballots uncounted right now.

I've also taken these numbers and extrapolated the mail vote in each county. Under this model Biden is currently shown as winning the state by 92k votes (1.35%)
I imagine the risk here is more about embarrassment than a business threat. Github endpoints are still authenticated, and their business is still in providing a service. Propping up, understanding, and maintaining the leaked codebase to use "for free" probably will never pay dividends. Another company referencing this code base when designing their own software will just expose them to needless risk in the future.

I believe this isn't an existential threat to the company by any means.
How do you implement "website.underDDoS"?

Through a proxy - mind you; CloudFlare makes their decision without access to your CPU or DB metrics, and don't know which page load times are legitimately slow and which aren't supposed to be.
I have never seen rents drop due to high density. If anything, rents are cheaper in sparsely populated areas. Examples abound. Rents won’t become cheaper if we build more. However, building more will certainly mean more property taxes for the government.

San Francisco gets several millions of dollars to spend from which they spend a measly amount on the homeless(and that’s over 350 million/annum)..where is the rest? Even the money spent on homeless solutions is mostly going to contracted non profits(look at their board..probably has ex-city employees as board members) or more public sector employees.

With 350 million, I would have created a new sustainable village to house 1000 people with jobs inside. Instead, SF still huffs and puffs and spends tax dollars on piffle and squat.
> Why isn't there a deadline?

How could there be? Voting is a state business. Each state is responsible for how it chooses the electors, via what procedures, on what timetable, etc.

Here's what the Constitution has to say on this matter (Article 2, Section 1): "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress".
Can someone explain the process behind burning iron and it being carbon free? How does that work? Don't you need something combustible to keep the process going? I mean, I have rusty iron at home, but holding a match to it doesn't set it alight.
I can see that heat pumps can only move a certain amount of energy and to a similar extent electricity.

I remember looking at on-demand hot water heating. It's easier to do with natural gas.

But for electricity it would require something like a 100+amp electrical circuit and would have limits on flow rate and/or temperature increase.

for a heat pump, it just wouldn't work.

So for hot water the most common solution is to trickle charge a thermal battery - a hot water heater - and release it fairly quickly during a hot shower.

I can see the same sort of thing happening here.
I _hate_ this about postgresql. Why is it so? It's extremely annoying, imo, and it holds me back from upgrading
> It's complicated and there was miscommunication but it forms part of the pattern.

It looks like from that thread that the Go team was never on board with certain technical aspects of how dep was implemented. Obviously there are trade offs so it's hard to determine what answer is "right", but opposing a design for technical reasons is still pretty different than pure "not invented here syndrome".

The dep author in that thread says part of the reason he did not make a proposal was he was worried "what negative community consequences (wasted work/goodwill) a misfire proposal might have." But since dep was becoming a de-facto standard, skipping the proposal process was basically doing an end-run against the technical decisions of the Go team (and others in the community not already aboard the dep train).

I have to admit I'm a bit biased here, I use Go and Go modules, followed closely the discussions at the time, and strongly prefer the trade offs made by the (now official) Go package manager over those made by dep. I can understand how people with different priorities (or who dislike Go in general) might feel differently, but I think it's a bit unfair to call rejecting something over real technical trade offs "not invented here" thinking.

> I'm pretty sure there's been several different proposals for generics

I don't know of any? By formal proposal I think they mean complete specification of how it would work with the existing features, not just the start of an idea, because of course you need that to actually add it to the language.

I think few people expected someone external to the Go team would do it, but I think that's more because it's an enormous amount of work that an expert would have to put in for free. In the end I believe even the Go team ended up asking for help from academic specialists to work out the details. [1]

> The second a core language change actually involves a person external to google or the team drop the concept that that could happen I'll withdraw my criticism

They've made almost no changes to the language so far so obviously the evidence is still out on the former case, but for the latter I believe Russ Cox's check/handle proposal [2] and Robert Griesemer's try proposal [3] (both core team members) were rejected after community feedback.

California is still counting its votes too. It's just not a close enough race for us to have to wait to find out what the results are.
Japan has falling birth rate.
Many of these rules haven't changed at all, but there's a pandemic happening, so many, many, many more people have taken advantage of mail ballots than in years past.

Additionally, there were some lawsuits to prevent states from counting received ballots before Election Day, so some of this "confusion" is the direct result of efforts by the people filing those lawsuits to create it.
> But do you think those who don’t use these services should be burdened with the cost of fixing them?

Yes. In /most/ cases, the wealthy are only wealthy because they have (directly or indirectly) profited from the middle class. The wealthy should be paying a fair share of taxes in return, for upkeep of the public services the middle class use, and which the wealthy are perfectly entitled to also use.

The middle class should pay their fair share of taxes as well, of course, but for the most part, they do. They pay less taxes than the wealthy, because a significant fraction of their income does go toward basic necessities, whereas for the wealthy, basic necessities is a negligible fraction of income.
Yea and they just let go a bunch of their team, closed the public facing side of their product, and the remaining team is joining Robinhood to help extract money from unsophisticated investors that are essentially gambling.

I am cynical because Quantiopian, which was an interesting idea for the reasons you mention, has now been destroyed and absorbed into a dressed up gambling company
