I just wish Pony would reach 1.0 already. I'm very hesitant to spend my time on a language that might change under me.
the money trail isn't the main issue here. It's the perception that the pipeline company is getting discretion at who gets arrested, rather than the police making the decision.
Taxes are a form of punishment, they're a tool to discourage certain behaviours relative to others.

Whether roads are funded by road taxes or primary school fees doesn't matter - if we want to promote a behaviour we subsidize it; if we want to discourage it, we tax it.

Whether and how the books balance in the background isn't relevant.
I hope these people are paying their taxes...

You'll typically be OK with streaming services, newspapers, and mobile / web apps.

Definitely be careful with gyms, insurance companies, and any service that sends out invoices (instead of calling it a monthly subscription.)
One of the hardest things at any company is recruiting and retaining top talent.

I’m sure some devs would love to learn a new language at a new job, but many would see it as a career mistake. Your career income increases the more you master a certain discipline like a certain language. If you’re a jack of all trades (and adding Pony developer to your resume), you’re probably limiting your future income potential.
Likely because a credit card has a much better UX. This isn't purely technical, because it is credit vs debit. There are also payment apps from both Apple and Google, why do I need anything else?

It's also worth considering people went out less and didn't use payment terminals as much as they shipped online.
I signed up to NYT using a virtual CC, knowing how much of a pain it was to unsubscribe (I'm not in California). When I was through with it, I just paused the card. And I was amazed at how many times they tried charging it before giving up and actually cancelling the account. 13 times, now that I'm looking at it. The Gray Lady isn't as well-mannered as one might think.
After relying on Prettier for a while, it feels very strange to me to have a linter that complains over minor formatting differences instead of just a tool that automatically fixes them.
Getting paid 7 figures for writing code? That is an anomaly and is not in line with reality. Just doing a cursory Google search for Senior Software Engineer salaries puts the average at ~122k [0], nowhere close to the amount one of those Twitch streamers makes. I wouldn't call it rich either, maybe middle class or upper-middle class at best.

...wow. Genuinely can't believe that has never occurred to me.
As I said, our problem was that we stopped holding monopolies to account. The Bell breakup was a last major success of the old approach to monopoly regulation. The reason you have one ISP is not the thinking that brought you the Bell break up, but what came after.
I find it mildly disturbing to see how willing people seem to be at a personal level to attach themselves skill-wise to single-vendor solutions.

I get that CloudFormation may be a bit better than Terraform in this way or that way. But I have no personal interest in learning it. All that investment of time and effort and when I need to do a project on a different vendor I have nothing, no skills. What's the point?

To be clear: I understand why companies and even specific teams or projects may choose to go all in on vendor-lock-in. It's often the most direct line to the business value they want and as people point out, it's rare to never that most cloud native applications will shift cloud vendors, and even if they do most of a Terraform setup will have to be reworked.

So I get why companies and managers want that. I just don't understand why software engineers in those teams are so happy to go along.
It should be based on weight, not the car’s value.

It took me about 7 clicks to get to the 'current studies' page

There is a local company here in Seattle called Pulumi[1]. We've been using their tool extensively over the last 18+ months and it's pleasure to use.

It's built on top of Terraform, but it simplifies IaC because you can now write your infra components in one of few high-level languages they support (JS, Go, Python, etc). CDK is similar, but biased towards AWS. With Pulumi you can provision your infra stuff in multiple clouds easily.

That's not a bad thing. Maybe it'll force ad-supported products to actually review & moderate their ads.
You might think that at first, but the distinction can be made for data as well. The argument goes, when is your data, not really your data? How about, when it's actually my records, of your use, of my system.

If you allow such a construct, then "deleting your account" could mean, your immediate personal details (or perhaps even just your access credentials) are erased in some fashion, but nothing else.

This is how legislation like the GDPR gets motivated, of course. The Apple guidelines reference "usage data" elsewhere, and I imagine that's for similar reasons. The deletion clause itself, rather notably, doesn't.
If all of AES, then yes. But a particular choice of algorithm parameters can become insecure much earlier.

> If AES is broken in your lifetime, you're going to have _way_ bigger problems than somebody decrypting your blockchain ciphertext.

I'm not so sure about that. Not a lot of encrypted data is simply lying around at rest, available for everyone to run attacks against. Most encrypted data is either ephemeral (encrypted data connections) or secured by additional measures (e.g. to even get the raw bytes of an encrypted partition, you need access to the machine, appropriate permissions, etc)
That gives the data owners various opportunities to react and mitigate the risks: Stop processes that send sensitive data, unmount sensitive partitions, detete data, etc.

You can't do a lot to protect data on the blockchain - it's literally out there for everyone to access.
Reminds me of a great doc I saw on Kanopy last month about the goings on at Berkeley. Look like it may not be available any more, maybe other places.

I quit Facebook around 6 years ago and it was So easy. Facebook is trash, the ui is trash, I mean it's ridiculous, and that was 6 years ago. I can't imagine how bad the ui is now, but it gives me a headache to try.

I can only imagine it must be likes, I've rarely gotten likes on any platform. I assume it is because I am writing what I can only assume is gibberish to others. This simple fact stopped me from being addicted.

Be less likeable and quitting social media is super easy. Just tell the truth, that seems to work great at reducing likes.
You must provide a way to undo first party and third party data retention of personal data at the same level as the initial retention.

If such data exists in an app under control of the user, then uninstallation is fine.

If you persist that data in your own systems, you must provide a way to withdraw that consent. Same with data shared with third parties.

If you create an account in first party systems, you must provide a way to delete that account.

If the account is created outside the app (say via your website), thats fine, but you may get the same regulatory pressures directly (from GDPR, from California, etc) to support deletion in the same context.
They said wait until _you know you have to_, not wait until _you have to_. If you're monitoring your systems appropriately, you should know well before you have to. (modulo inorganic growth explosions, which are hard to predict.)

This is just a specific case of premature optimization.
And you want to ignore the inconvenient reality that civilization has managed to keep running all this time? It's plainly not the problem you imagine it to be.
The earth's human population is not going to shrink. The population of some groups will shrink and others will increase.

As secular societies are replaced by fundamentalist societies, the result will not be the earth having fewer people, but rather secular liberal belief systems and policy preferences disappearing.

Yes, you can prolong those policy preferences with a period of repression, but long term the future is not bright for either liberalism or modernism.

Take a look at the transformation of Israeli politics between 1990 and 2020. 58% of those under the age of 19 are ultra-orthodox and 30% are orthodox. That's 88% orthodox or ultra-orthodox. Israel used to be a fairly secular state with an orthodox minority. It is very rapidly going to be an orthodox population with a secular minority. This is not about overall populations increasing or decreasing, it's about the future belonging to those groups that reproduce themselves.
They weren't saying it wasn't an institution making the market order. They were saying it was a public trade and not just a blockchain transaction.

Edit; the actual analysis is here https://cryptoquant.com/quicktake/615dab839a9d40253e0e36ee-S... but doesn't give much detail.
Do you know what should be illegal? The way facebook does account deletion.

When you 'delete' your account, you actually put it into a special state for 30 days. If you log in, even accidentally, during those 30 days, the cancellation is canceled. So, if like most Facebook addicts (as I was), you had the habit of typing 'facebook.com' every 30 minutes or so, it would undo your facebook deletion request.

The proper thing to do is to either delete the account immediately (although I understand why maybe losing all your data is a bad idea), or, get rid of the automatic reinstatement and require users to go through a separate process to reclaim their accounts before data purging.

Facebook knows that by operating with this cancellation scheme, they can basically prevent cancellations of the addicted, since moments of clarity when someone requests deletion are soon clouded by moments of habit when someone types in 'facebook.com' to satisfy the itch.
>After all, Norway switching to all-electric cars also won't make a significant reduction in worldwide CO2.

It bootstraps companies like Tesla, and VW's electric cars. That will lead to more CO2 reductions happening sooner.
I would guess that the largest common factor in this survey is a EE/CE degree. After all, that's who joins IEEE.
You can think of the energy of the reactants and products as valleys separated by a mountain. The "normal" reaction requires the reactants in their base energy state (the bottom of the valley) to climb up the whole mountain, thus it will be very slow. The "just add enough heat" method is like flooding the whole mountain range up to the peak -- it technically works but causes other issues. Adding a catalyst is like digging a tunnel through the mountain.

I've tried the snack thing. I think it's not a great strategy health wise (put on 15 lbs in 2 months). When we were in the office I would walk to the vending machine... more expensive, same outcome.
> template-heavy code results in convoluted IR with tons of unreachable code

Does it? Honest question; my impression was that template-heavy code can tend to produce deep call trees, but not necessarily outright unreachable code unless you count instantiations ruled out by SFINAE/std::enable_if/tag dispatching, for which UB-based analyses are not necessary.

In addition, I thought template (meta)programming relied very heavily on compile-time knowledge, which seems to obviate the need for UB-based analyses in many cases.

I'm not particularly experienced, though, so maybe there's a gaping hole I'm missing.
When covid first started and we saw authoritarian responses in Asian countries, I just assumed it was what these countries do, and that we were safe in western countries. That was obviously wrong. I expect these things will get trialled on Australia (the pushover "western" country) then brought to western europe and north america
What the heck are you two talking about? You're making it out as if the two top-level comments are just that OP didn't apologize enough. In reality they're responding specifically to the OP's individual claims and pointing out they're not accurate.

You think that "Our projects were moved to GitHub Enterprise to consolidate billing but we never had a bill in the first place." and "You're telling us we don't have copyright over our projects but the contract we signed doesn't say that." is "an accusation of insufficient prostration" ?

It was reverted in https://github.com/reactiveui/splat/commit/a502b596d4c4a45a7...
Remember that this data covers slightly more than two years of payouts. So under my (admittedly low-information) assumptions, streamer #400 gets 750k in revenue annually.

Also, you linked to the wrong job title. I said "senior staff" software engineer, which where I work is two rungs above senior engineer. http://levels.fyi has comp estimates for a bunch of the big tech cos. $750k far from an unreasonable amount for someone to make in this line of work, and plenty of folks make a lot more than that.
You're looking at the older version of the file. Here's the complete history:

https://github.com/reactiveui/splat/commits/main/src/Directo...

So it was merged, then reverted almost immediately, and then reimplemented by the project maintainers in the manner they preferred (without a new dependency).
Considering this is extremely unhealthy and bad for the environment, I'd say "not enough".
Governor is already a bit high-level to really have a chance at breaking through, isn't it? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
Bitcoin blockchain does not use AES, wallets do.

Elliptic curve signatures of the blocks are _significantly_ more fragile to quantum attacks than AES.
Agreed. We use Pulumi and it's fine, but the state-managing feels brittle.

I think the state-of-the-art is Kubernetes + jsonnet, though you still need to suffer through the learning curve and you'll still need TF and company to provision some of your cloud resources.
> The lengthy word count might tend to confirm that,as you say a genuine apology should be terse and direct.

I've seen enough short apologies posted here and the comments below usually pointed out the lack of effort, the lack of commitment to do better, the lack of pointing out errors and the likes. Any form of apology will get some flak just based on whatever form it took, so I don't think one can judge just based on word count.
My understanding is that road damage scales with the fourth power of the weight over the axle but fuel usage does not scale in the same way. In particular, heavy trucks do the most damage and of consumer cars, electric cars do more damage as they are heavier. Of course the people who most require roads to be constructed tend to be people trying to drive to or from their homes rather than large freight carriers who mostly require maintenance of highways.
That funny about the Mini, because it's such a shit car. I thought it looked like a fun little car but I drove one yesterday for the first time and it was garbage. Interior is crappy lightweight plastic too. Do some research on them and you'll see that they are trouble-prone as well.
Hanlon's Razor is just a heuristic. What is the reasoning for following it? Or do we just blindly follow an age-old adage because it sounds philosophical?

My experience as well. I am often surprised how effective it is to just get started by doing anything trivial. Fix a spelling error, re-arrange a few lines to make it easier to read, and before you know it you look up and hours have passed and the problem is solved.

Yes Ansible does have extensions and can be used to provision AWS services.

The approach between Cloudformation/Terraform/Pulumi and Ansible are entirely different though.

The former are declarative, they define how the end state should look. Ansible is a task runner, you define a set of manual tasks it needs to execute to get to the end state.

I strongly advice against using Ansible for provisioning resources. It's idempotent by convention only. When I had to reluctantly use it for jobs it was extremely difficult to get a repeatable deterministic environment set up. Each execution lead to a different state and was just a nightmare to deal with.

Cloudformation/Terraform/Pulumi are much better in that regard as they generate a graph of what the end state should be, check the current state, generate an execution plan how to make the current state look like the target state.

Where Ansible is better than Cloudformation/Terraform/Pulumi is you have a bunch of servers already set up and you want to change the software installed/configuration on them. That's bit of an anti pattern these days changing config/provisioning at runtime. You can change that slightly and use Ansible with Packer to generate pre-baked images which works ok if you don't mind lots of yaml. This isn't to bad and works reasonably well and works to Ansible strengths all though these days most people don't prebake images with containerization. Also if you are only using Ansible for provisioning config on a host Nix achieves this much more elegantly / reliably.
Same thing then. In the metaphor, the buildings' only purpose and only outcome is to fool. One of our purposes was to get things done. And we definitely had some impact. If the public/regulatory pressure stayed constant, we would have gotten some more done. We would also have gotten more done if executives had taken it more seriously, of course.

Generally yes, but Twitch is not your average startup. It's now 10 years old, and 7 of those years it was owned by Amazon, which should have enough competence and manpower for bringing it onto a good course. But from what I heard, Amazon did neglect Twitch for a long time and focused too much on making it a profitable business by all costs. Because of which they had all those scandals and problems in the last years. It's a business-platform, where technology is just an afterthought.

Hey I know, let's see if we can just downvote away the fact that the past two decades of social policy aren't working.

Do you not remember the massive blackouts in the last 50 years? Entire regions of the USA and Canada have gone dark from time to time. California teters on the brink regularly. Remember last winter's troubles in Texas? It's not really any more stable than fuel distribution IMO.
This should continue to work as long as you use systems that do not fall to pieces under quantum attacks.

AES is considered "resistant" in that quantum does an effective square-rooting of the brute forcing effort (or if you prefer, halving of the binary key length). So, do not use anything under AES 256.

Asymmetric algorithms fall apart though, which is why NIST has had a multi-year effort to select new standardized asymmetric algorithms.
That argument is fairly common across the political spectrum. Your comment reads far better without the unnecessary and divisive last sentence.

I know what you mean. There are some things I take care of right away because I hate them. Most of my tasks vary wildly, so I haven't been able to expand that hatred to all of them (seems to require focus on just a couple).
> The guy REALLY looks like the police sketches too.

Am I the only one who can see one wears glasses the other does not?

You can't get a bigger difference.

Either the police sketch should be thrown out, if the witness makes a mistake about the glasses.

Or the suspect wasn't wearing them in his photo. In which case it needs to be mentioned, with a functioning 4th Estate the news should ask and hopefully answer obvious questions.

State Department discloses number of nukes in US stockpile
I wonder why this is considered a paradox. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that people have a set budget for laundry/food/other resources; by increasing efficiency, the money set aside can purchase more goods.

I think that for most goods, the limiting factor is cost. I would certainly eat more filet mignon if the price were lower, and I'd definitely run the air conditioner more if the power cost was lower. Increased air conditioner efficiency doesn't change the amount of money I have to spend on air conditioning.
Except, as a seller, I have multiple avenues to deliver my product to customers other than Walmart. On top of that, Walmart charges a fee per sale [1], and doesn't get to double dip into additional services rendered on top of that product. As soon as the sale is done through Walmart, they're cut out of the picture. Could you imagine Walmart demanding a 30% cut of profits if I sell a video game with in-game purchases--just because they performed the task of stocking it on the shelf?
