> Go has a ton of potential in the data science space.

Does it? I'm not familiar with Go data science applications but the design of the language, tooling and runtime, eg low latency garbage collector, errors thrown for unused imports, do not, to me, seem to fit well with the needs of data science. I'm interested in hearing what advantages Go brings.
To counter this we should preemptively ban people just to make sure no one lies ever again.
Thank you very much! Do you have any idea how the costs of a typical Australian rooftop system break down? I'm curious about the relative importance of these factors.

You can, but you probably won't succeed if it's open source, because people can share it around freely without your consent.

It's difficult to separate the issues with the programs that I have worked on and the industry as a whole but I will try. I get a sense that the govt pays $10 for $1 of work. The other $9 is lost to bloated outdated process.

You often see these companies avoid investing in themselves unless they can charge it to the government.

This culture extends to contracts as well. If the government doesn't pay for unit tests then they aren't getting unit tested software. Known bugs don't get fixed unless the government pays for it. The government can require static analysis but then not require the findings to be fixed. It's as if these companies treat the government as an adversary.

There is little to no incentive to deliver a good product- just enough to pass the requirements, check a box, and dump it on the customer.

We have known about this approach to software for decades- the Defense Innovation Board has been sounding the alarm about losing ground due to outdated software processes in the defense industry:

https://media.defense.gov/2019/May/01/2002126691/-1/-1/0/SWA...

I really like their suggestion to make software source code a deliverable. That way the government can own the code, build from source, apply security fixes, audit, etc.
Right so let me get this right. You're made because Trump didn't go against the wishes of the mayor and just deploy more troops? You must have been asleep during 2020. The moment that happened everyone would have screame COUP COUP COUP!

It's evident no matter what the outcome was, you would find a way to argue why it's Trumps fault.

At this point we're not contributing anything else of value in this discussion and I have no desire to continue to counter you.
Im also curious. Im currently having to put together a large system design document together and am struggling to find any solid automation tools.

The most productive tool I've found is: https://github.com/terraform-docs/terraform-docs

Otherwise there is a lot of cloud, K8s, and then microservices + app design (typescript)

SourceForge was a huge blunder. They were so close to being Github, but they opted to to squeeze out every last dollar, instead. ExpertsExchanges and AIM are similar--products that could have been medium-large opportunities today, but business and product choices that left an opening for a competitor.

That said, I'm not convinced SourceForce could have actually been Github because it didn't have the culture, the brand was mispositioned, and it's hard to to be Github without lots of VC.
The Capitol Police Chief, House Sergent at Arms, and Senate Sergent at Arms are also there, providing details about what and where things were actually breached.

They were needed for more tactical purposes (how many men to send? Where to send the men? Where to expect support first?). But if you don't trust Pelosi, there's plenty of Police there who had more detailed information.

There was no issue in intelligence during the 12:30 to 5pm period. Everyone knew what was going on. The only question was why did decisions take so long to be made?
Would love to check that paper, if you find the link.
There's a similar formula available in the US called Biomin that's FDA approved and distributed by Dr Collins. Their fluoridated version isn't FDA approved yet, but it works well for me used 50/50 with an OTC stannous fluoride toothpaste.

Human disciplines are generally organized around something that generates a high volume of repeating work. E.g. we have civil engineering as as discipline because bridges have to be designed (or existing designs have to be adjusted and instantiated to new situations). Such a discipline is practiced everywhere; every populated region in the world has civil engineers cranking out work.

We don't need similar discipline which cranks out programming languages.

To some measure, we need programming languages in which regular programmers can crank out domain specific notations to suit whatever work they are doing.

Engineers themselves use languages for designing and communicating their work. Civil engineers have blueprints with their notations; electrical engineers have schematics, SPICE netlists; and so on. They don't need a sub-discipline to continuously crank out new kinds of these languages, right?

Similarly software engineering has languages. It has a lot more of them than electrical or civil engineering, but that's just the consequence of those languages not only being the product of software engineering as well as the production tool.

Non-software engineering also produces tools which are used in engineering. We have a myriad of tools for all sorts of situations. Machinists produce tools, which can be used by machinists to produce tools; that's a bit like computing.

In computing, there are tools other than languages though. For instance, there are API's and libraries. There is still a lot of work, for instance, in people who integrate platforms: bring up new systems on a chip, and move code to next generation systems.

New API's are needed much more than new languages, and so the case can be made that API's are more like tools than languages. Machinists generally don't need a new design language in order to make new tools. A new tool is an adapter between a process (like construction, maintenance) and a new situation; it's like a HAL. A differenty shaped screwdriver or whatever isn't a new language.

Does Facebook ban controversial statements such as “children should be given hormone blocking therapy if they request it, regardless of the wishes of their parents, even if it sterilizes them” or “transgender women should be allowed to go to/volunteer at battered women’s shelters”. Espousing the opposing viewpoint is a fast track to getting banned from Twitter/Facebook or wherever else.

Note I’m not making a judgement about these statements, merely using them as examples of things that absolutely won’t get you kicked off of Facebook for advocating.
Timrit's actions are deeply unpleasant on Twitter. I don't care what side of the coin you're on - vile, contemptful behavior like this must be condemned. These people want to get famous and they're thirsty for social-martyr points. In their wake, they coerce people into shame, social media justice and other despicable behavior. She seems to tweet at an alarming frequency - some 10 mins between tweets all day when she isn't sleeping.

It is asymmetric social warfare. We're not listening to the other half of the story, other half being a giant corporation that can't go argue on a Twitter thread with her.

Seriously, go on her twitter page and see it for yourself. I implore you. It's like we've lost our ability to discuss difficult topics, politely present our case and be respectful to everyone.
In financial accounting a public company (say General Motors) will create aggregated financial statistics that they publish in their quarterly reports.

They hire an accounting firm (say Deloitte) in to check their work by looking at some sample of their documentation. This is a lot like Deming-style quality control; they look at some fraction of the checks that came from car dealers, or that were cut to parts suppliers and see that the story makes sense.

In fields like insurance where fraud is particularly dangerous they do things like look to see if there is a real person for some of the policies, etc.

I would look to the same model for other kinds of accounting too.

For instance, if the company said that 42% of its employees are women they could let a third party look at a sample of 1000 employees that the third party chooses, going so far as letting the third party see employement records filed with the state, contact those employees, etc.

Like a public opinion poll it is not an exact answer, maybe they will find 40% or 44% of the employees are women, which is close enough.

That is just one trick in the toolbox that accountants have, sometimes they will see a bunch of deposits with round numbers ($7700) and then you get one for $345.34 and that is the one they ask you about.

So that's the subject you should be looking up, the kind of people you should be talking to.
Given that the yellow vest protests have been going on for two and a half years now, I would not hold up France as a model for income equality. The U.S. may be a decade in advance of most countries in this respect, but there's no indication I can find that France has the problem solved with its approach.

IIRC there's a std.os.args or some such that is just a slice of byte arrays in unix platforms. The iterator API builds cross-platform support on top of it, as I understand. In my books, that's acceptable for an actually-low-level language.

> Amazon’s PR team, which continues to wage these battles anonymously and without attaching an executive’s name to any of its childish internet taunts and misdirection.

This article uses really charged language. How many corporate Twitter accounts use real people’s names? Seems odd to call this out since they’re just doing routine stuff.

Also, this doesn’t seem like “trolling” and just a way of responding to direct call outs from Sen Warren, etc.
Also, it's 49152.

System variables were irrelevant after loading if you never called into ROM, but yes, that 6912 byte display block was fundamental. However some games and demos did steal a kb or two by using only a part of the screen and masking the rest with black on black color attributes.
The part you're quoting has nothing to do with violence. He's saying most white moderates preferred an absence of tension with black people to an absence of equality. Unless there's something else you wanted to quote it seems like you're grossly misinterpreting what was said so you can call it "advocating political violence" and equate it to what was shared leading up.to the capitol hill riots.
If they don't have an EU office, I assume they can ignore GDPR because the EU has no jurisdiction.
Aka commercial software. Nothing wrong with it indeed!

Just don’t package it with a weird “open” license and pretend it’s OSS. You can dual license if needed and deal with the consequences.
Nothing looks necessarily wrong to me but there are some elements that aren't exactly how this code would normally be written. Like that they don't take advantage of Iterator::enumerate() which makes the the for loop more awkward than necessary. Or how strings are treated as arrays of bytes (rather than sequences of unicode characters as the language pressures you to).
Yup, that's NFTs in a nutshell.

And there is almost certainly a large real world contingent salivating at the thought that they can soon launder huge amounts of money, based on infinite products, that are impossible to value and trivial to create.

Open source is as sustainable as a closed business model in some sectors as long as you are willing to be creative.

I've invested/funded/donated to several OS projects. I don't really expect to make money in most. I do it for the same reason I give large tips time to time.

Somebody has to do it because the value they are providing is IMMENSE.

I ask nothing in return. I give without really thinking about maximizing profit. The way I see it is that when you give to good cause the universe will reward you in ways you don't expect.

I encourage others who are successful to give to OS projects especially folks who work on projects full time with little to no way of supporting themselves because they can't memorize graph algorithms or do whiteboard interviews or neurally diverse.

As much as I have gripes with Github as a corporate entity, it's platform does serve a useful purpose in that it facilitates the movement of capital to OS projects.
If I understand this correctly, you're saying companies choose to license paid databases like Microsoft SQL or Oracle over open source SQL databases for support. What kind of support do companies need for a database? I can't figure out this error message my query generates or how can I update to the next version of your DB? Something along those lines?
The quotation you provide above isn’t about violence at all. It is one of MLK's many responses to the claim, very common in the 1960s, that African-Americans should not be making big public (non-violent) demonstrations and sit-ins, because this would be too socially divisive. Instead, they should somehow push for change in a low-key manner that doesn’t upset anyone.

I strongly recommend reading some histories of the 1950s and 1960s civil-rights movement, it was a fascinating era. MLK was deeply committed to non-violence, he wrote at great length about why he felt that non-violence was the superior method for pursuing the civil rights cause. It was other African-American ideologues who favoured violent actions, and tension arose between them and MLK because of it.

Regarding 2fa - For TOTP there is a Linux command line tool called oathtool. For SMS, set up Twilio. For U2F you can emulate a device with an ECDSA library.

For CSRF you'll want browser automation, like Chrome Headless. Alternatively, you can load a page and extract a token from the DOM in a normal scraper.

As a security professional, get out of here with that non-sense. You've run into a challenging problem and still think there is some conspiracy. What we do is highly technical and often customer specific (e.g. automate 2fa due to some weird requirement rather than the customer disabling it for the test account). There is no market in automating a lot of this work, packaging it in a nodejs library for you to use, and writing docs.

I think the main issue is that eBPF cannot have loops. It restricts the programs you can write. Wasm does not have that property, so you cannot prove that it will complete.
Most of the things you've listed here use WESTERN TECH just re-applied for a Chinese market, and you're calling that innovation? The fact that you had to list "Chinese based text input via keyboards" as a genuine Chinese innovation is telling.

Done with this discussion. You can't seem to come up with even 2 genuine Chinese innovations and instead refer to the reapplication of tech developed in the western world.

Nobody is saying China can't take what others have done and improve on it. That is happening more and more. It used to be China just straight up copied and stole intellectual property. I'll admit that line is beginning to blur. But genuine novel innovation is still very lacking.

Have you looked at using the per-alias document root feature? Depending on your needs, you could host multiple domains and "sites" on one NSFN site using this feature. This makes all of them share certain things and doesn't allow the amount of resilience that separate NSFN sites would allow, but it's an easy way to reduce your costs if your needs aren't very demanding.
Yes, and I addressed it in my comment below. D.C. Itself has a small Contingency of Guard personnel. The majority of troops in D.C. were augmented from nearby states like VA, MD, etc. all of which required additional authorizations from their states to mobilize. I also assume it's understood that active duty and reserves could not be mobilized, there for the complete nature of it relied on support from state Guard Units.
Curious how you handle "external users" for pricing. Say I wanted to build an app for job applicant tracking, for example. The vast amount of functionality would be for the internal team. But, you would want external people to be able to apply, check status, note that they found a different job and want to opt out, etc. Per user pricing doesn't work well for that.
See previous comments:

* he never, ever defended paedophilia in any form.

* he defended the memory of Minsky who never had any sex with any member of the Epstein harem.

* the sign on his door was a prank and wasn't his doing anyway.

The only real thing is that as a neuro-divergent, he has an awkward way to propose, and often behaves inappropriately in public. Knowing that it's pretty rich that the same woke crowd accused him of "ableism".

This all reeks of corporate propaganda. It's incredibly similar to the way Assange has been smeared for years about things he didn't do. It's an agenda to de-fang the FSF, kill Free Software and make it all nice and Microsoft/IBM friendly.

Therefore, my opinion is that it's a plot against Free Software, the FSF and RMS. And I'll fight vehemently against that.

More specifically, the first one is a dig at anyone who tries to infer preferences from behavior, without considering or knowing the full set of alternatives available to the individual.

In this case, even a well-paid tenured economist probably could not afford the Ferrari without making some significant sacrifices elsewhere. So it's not that they are choosing between "Ferrari" and "no Ferrari", it's that they are choosing between "Ferrari and I don't have any money and my wife leaves me" and "no Ferrari and I keep my retirement savings and my wife doesn't leave me."

The relevance here is that, for some people, their best option might actually be "stay at horrible job at Amazon where I'm forced to piss in a bottle", not because they like pissing in bottles, but because the alternatives are actually worse.

The only thing you can tell from a person's behavior is that, to that person at that particular time, whatever they did/chose seemed like the best option.

I think my pragmatic solution would just to have the first part of the downloaded EULA say something like "New updates available, go to example.com and download the latest installer" or something. Of course most people don't read it. But makes me wonder what was so important to patch.

It's been a long time ... perhaps 12 or 15 years ... but when I was driving a FreeBSD desktop I would install Konqueror as a file manager and then plug in:

fish://

... addresses and browse SFTP-capable addresses very conveniently.

I have no idea if any of these components (Konqueror ? fish ?) are still in use ?

I thought it was a tremendously convenient workflow and it was nice to not have a different application for file management and SSH file endpoints.

Which leads me to my lament that all these years later you can't just put an sftp:// address into the mac finder. It's an almost comically blatant missing feature.
