Obviously this is a good thing that we want to see more of. I like the approach of asking engineers what projects to support. My first thought was that this doesn't seem like a large amount. Maybe we need a thread listing large SAAS companies that have donated nothing to OSS projects, though.
In many cases, Uber is in the same ballpark as taxis these days. It still tends to be cheaper but I have definitely seen cases where it's about the same. Which was fairly obviously where things were going to end up as VC subsidies petered out.

And, yes, for most people--especially outside of city centers--owning a car is going to be cheaper than hiring a ride to go everywhere.
Three things:

1.) This is an attack against a type of security researcher. Attacks against researchers are always anti-science.

2.) You’ve admitted to feeling alienated by truth. You might want to think that over and ask yourself some questions. That’s genuinely sad.

3.) If the truth genuinely alienates you, I don’t care about you or your feelings.
Its actually pretty amusing to watch the "cognitive dissonance" on the other persons face when they clearly labelled you "stupid" but your solution to problem the problem at hand is clear/concise/defined. They eventually learn to fear you :(. Ah humanity!
Market economies are full of wealth redistribution. Do you mean that Brooks is against government mandated wealth redistribution?
Right, I was intentionally reframing the question. As a company we wanted to arrive at a budget through a global view and then allocate from there. Rather than look at 100+ projects individually and build up from "How much value did we get from this one? Or that one? And that one?" ... we wanted to reason about a fair amount overall. Is that bad?

I mean that top Apple chip outperforms top Intel chip by 9% percent single core performance and 34% multicore on similar TDP. M1 is very energy efficient, and MBA is very cool cheap typewriter, but Apple hasn't outperformed Intel on high load.

So yeah, basically Apple has chip that slightly outperform Intel at high load and also can be very low power. Performance-wise (that what the parent message was about) the latter doesn't really matter.

Check out Convolutional Neural Networks. They learn from example images, progressively improving as you train it more, and you can see that the deeper the level, the more abstract the recognition becomes, going from simple shapes and edges to full on eyes, a figure of a person or a car, etc in deeper layers. It's absolutely learned intelligence, not to be confused with sentience.

Remember, a critical part of human intelligence is pattern recognition. If you dismiss pattern recognition as not intelligence, you're dismissing a fundamental part of what makes humans intelligent. It's no different than an insect with the intelligence to recognize predators.

In 2017 or so when Rust editions were invented, the notion was that editions were primarily a "rallying point" (a way to make Rust's continuous release process feel more like Java's or C++'s), and only secondarily an (opt-in) change to the language itself.

See for example the summary at the top of https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2052-epochs.html

It seems to to me that that aspect has now been dropped: TFA simply says "Editions are a mechanism for opt-in changes that may otherwise pose backwards compatibility risk."

I'm not sure this change of direction has been officially announced anywhere, though.

(I think this is a good change: last time I saw cases of people asking questions like "How do I do foo in Rust 2018", and getting a mix of answers like "Nothing in Rust 2018 affects foo" and "Since Rust 1.20 you've been able to use std::foo::bar to do that".)
this is correct for facebook which is classified as h1b dependent.
You call it dysfunctional but I think it's just a communication technique to accelerate learning, like the author describes, that can be used in a plethora of situations and not just business meetings.
But this doesn't adjust for intelligence. If employers are just using the degree as a proxy for a base level of intelligence (and they really are, also class) then you would see tremendous value by this measure. But really that would be 100% waste, because you could do the same thing in an hour with an IQ test that is currently being done with 4 years of college. The tech industry basically does this now with algorithm problems. Google DGAF if you have a degree if you can memorize a bunch of algorithms.
I don't think Uber can ever be eco-friendly, because my American-centric point of view is that anything which makes long-distance travel situations easier encourages long distance travel by lowering the barrier and the carbon footprint of long distance travel is inherently atrocious.

I, like almost all Americans, own a personal vehicle, so the only time I would use Uber is if I'm traveling a long distance. The carbon footprint of my Uber is a tiny tiny tiny fraction of the carbon footprint of my trip. I do things like buy carbon offsets with my plane ticket to try to balance this out, but I am not ignorant of the environmental impact of international travel.

Sure, and taking out loans for the $100K - $200K you need for college will also cost you more in the end, once you consider interest.

The thing tho is that people who do not go to college quite often do not have $120K just laying around to invest for 30+ years. In fact a lot of people who go to college (or their parents) do not have that kind of money lying around either.

And let's not forget that the people who do go to college and get that additional $500K can invest that additional $500K as well. Not as a lump sum either, of course.
That is correct, editions are mostly about language-level syntactic changes, the APIs have to be compatible between editions. The only place where that isn't the case is the standard prelude (the "builtins" you don't have to import).

I spent some time at "TodoMVC.com" going over the tools they have there. Then I spent some time trying to figure out which of those I wanted to use. After a few weeks of struggling to decide, and not being able to, I decided to not use any of them.

I can see why those would be a reasonable choice when a team is working on a project, but it's just me working on my stuff and all of those tools require a pretty huge investment, and once you're using one you're vested in it and there's no turning back without a significant loss.

I've never been a fan of using SQL DBs for web apps. I'm sure they're great for some apps and if you're well versed is using those it's probably the tool to use, but I wasn't.

So I decided to use what was familiar and easy for me. I use jQuery, Bootstrap, mustache.js, accounting.js. For the DB I started with PouchDB.js, and added Apache's CouchDB and web server running on DigitalOcean VPS when I was ready to move the app to the web.

With this approach I can start off without using any web server or DB at all, or using my Mac's built-in web server and CouchDB installed on my Mac.

And when you move to a web server you can use one that's much smaller. I added a service worker to my app so it stores the app on the client side. Since the app resides and is running almost entirely on the client side the server can handle many more users and you can use a much less costly server with no degradation of performance.

I have a demo with some pre-loaded data you can check out at https://cherrypc.com/app/demo.html, and a free version of the app at https://cherrypc.com/app/web.html. Both of those use your web browser's built-in IndexedDB and run entirely on the client side.

The main point is, for me, these tools were so much easier to get going with than those frameworks and I spent quite a bit of time working with those to find that out. PouchDB.js is, in my opinion, one of the best and most overlooked JS tools we have right now. And CouchDB is right there with it. No other DB makes it so easy to implement Offline-First, Local-First design goals.
Come on. The two situations are entirely different.

One side is trying to prosecute a journalist who clicked view source and embarrassed an incompetent IT department. There was never any law broken under any remotely plausible legal theory.

The other side is trying to prosecute someone who violated their NDA to not disclose classified info. Now, you might think what he did was a net positive (I certainly do), but on the other hand it is objectively illegal. The DOJ could use their discretion and drop it, but they don't have to.

>Attacks against researchers are always anti-science.

that's blatantly untrue. If a researcher is malicious, attacking their person is not anti-science.
It's just odd that one would not make green tea at anywhere near the right temperature. Green tea is simply not comparable with black; they are fundamentally different. It is as if there were an ISO standard on the quality of fruits and they are "compared" by assessing color (deviation from yellow is a fault, increasing by reflected wavelength difference).
Maybe it is just about who is behind as a promoter/sponsor-ads on the kind of content that the video allow or meta-describe, so OpenStreetMap looks like a unfair competitor or kind of. So yeah, once again the esoteric criteria (that rozab mention)
> deeply nested loops. [...] I will prefer to hide one or more of the inner loops inside of a function call.

And I would too... but sometimes there are too many local variables involved to do that cleanly. And, ultimately, if you are making your code less clean to avoid using a goto then you avoided unwisely.

> Can you give an example of where you've used goto in C or a C-like language?

Well there have been several fairly normal examples cited by others. Let me set out my stall and present a more controversial one.

Suppose I have a switch() block (which is sorta a glorified goto already!) and I have two cases that have the same epilogue. For example:

switch (get_next_thing_to_do()) {
case ACTION_A:
do_action_a();
goto common_post_action_cleanup;

case ACTION_B:
do_action_b();
common_post_action_cleanup:
cleanup_something();
z = nullptr;
x = x->next;
// yadda yadda
break;

case ACTION_C:
do_action_c();
// NOTE: we don't need to do the "cleanup" here
break;
}

Now the first thing you should try is to put all of the shared code in its own function. Again, this isn't always practical if what you need to do effects a lot of local variables. It also means that those "cleanup" steps are now implemented far away from the rest of the logic which might hurt comprehensibility on its own.

Another option is to just suck it up, repeat the code twice, and then just trust that the compiler will clean it up. First, that won't be as attractive if you have to do it 10 times instead of twice. Second, you're now violating the DRY principal which to me is sacrosanct. Experience has taught me that if someone updates the cleanup code for ACTION_A they will forget to update ACTION_B at the same time. If you care that the two cases always end with the same epilogue you need to have a single copy of the code.

You can try to get back into compliance with DRY by using something like a C macro, but now you're not winning the war against ugly code.

Finally you could just put the cleanup code after the switch(), either by retesting the enum value (requiring it to be stored in a temporary variable) or by adding some other new cleanup_needed boolean flag. But now we're adding control flow that wasn't there before. I personally believe that doesn't help readability or maintainability. You're now just adding more variables to understand and probably getting worse generated assembly to boot.

While many programmers will look at this and feel vaguely icky about the presence of a "goto" if you really stop and look at the block of code it's actually quite readable...at least as long as the label and the goto are near each other. It is immediately apparent that two "states" are sharing some code and why.

This little example is obviously made up. However I've spent a lot of my career writing things like hand-crafted state machines and situations exactly like this (where two "states" are different but share the same epilogue) comes up all the time. State machine code like this is famously hard to read but often sharing code via goto like this is the least-bad option for expressing non-hierarchical control flow.
This is not a partisan issue.

Politicians, particularly those in higher office, are terrible people because the incentives reward those that lie, cheat and steal to get ahead.

Good question; the enterprise focused product relied on a much more hands-on onboarding, and day-to-day support - sometimes even to the level of professional services - to use the product. Moving to self-serve exposed all of the hard-edges of Rainforest, especially around on-boarding - and later around general use of it. This forced us to up-our-game product design wise significantly, which wasn't a strong focus before. The lesson being, it's not an easy shift - and takes time even if you have a product that works for enterprise.

Usually when a hard drive fails in a way that can't be fixed with software most of the platters are OK but there are some bad parts such as the logic board, actuators to move the head, etc.

To fix a drive like that you usually buy two spare drives of the same type of the original. You transplant the platters from the failed drive to one of the good drives, then you copy the content to the other spare.

There is a high variance in how much effort it takes so it's the kind of thing that people like to pay for with insurance.

Being even a little clever—and that's the best I can claim—is living life on easy mode. It's so great. Once I realized that the other people in the room weren't not-saying the obvious thing because they'd already dismissed it for some reason I couldn't see, but because it wasn't obvious to them, it was like I unlocked a superpower. God, it's so wonderful. I half-ass my way through everything and get well-rewarded for it. Praise, money, recommendations. There is no chance I could do that without this (again, quite mild, I cannot emphasize enough that I'm not even all that smart) gift, the credit for which mostly goes to sheer chance and lucky circumstances.

> I grew up thinking that being smart was the thing most to be desired. Perhaps you did too. But I bet it's not what you really want. Imagine you had a choice between being really smart but discovering nothing new, and being less smart but discovering lots of new ideas. Surely you'd take the latter.

Shit no, because the whole rest of the time I'm not coming up with those handful of new ideas, I'm less-smart. Reading is harder. Math is harder. Learning anything new is harder. Following complex conversations is harder. Picking out subtext, allusions, et c., in all media, is harder. Keeping up with, let alone constructively challenging, my smarter-than-me kids is harder. I'd hesitate to take that deal even if the ideas themselves made me rich enough I wouldn't need to work again. I might take it, but I'd have to give it a good think. It'd radically change the entire way I relate to the world.
The people who consider themselves "on the fence" aren't enabling the extremists. They are orphaned and alienated by the extremists in all parts of current politics. They aren't the ones trying to storm the capital or burn down federal court houses.

In any grouping of humans, there are bad actors and good actors. Using the bad actors to characterize the entire group, when they're a minority of that population is how you create stereotypes that break-down discourse. Empowering and encouraging the moderates in your opponents camp is is diplomacy 101. Insulting them empowers your enemies.

That's the same logic used to say all young black men are criminals, all young arab men are terrorists, all white farmers are racist, etc...

I don’t know how they vote or if they identify with any parties, but there is a disturbing, very patriarchal strain of neo-feudalism I have encountered in some tech circles — basically the idea that we need to return to a time of lords and serfs.

Of course I have found that when pressed, those who hold this philosophy seem to picture themselves as the lords in this fantasy utopia. Maybe these are just power fantasies, but some of them seem very serious about it (Curtis Yarvin is probably the most notable of the bunch)
pretty funny stuff, from the original article:

Though no private information was clearly visible nor searchable on any of the web pages, the newspaper found that teachers’ Social Security numbers were contained in the HTML source code of the pages involved.

IN THE HTML SOURCE CODE!!!!

The publication also gave them advanced notice:

The newspaper delayed publishing this report to give the department time to take steps to protect teachers’ private information, and to allow the state to ensure no other agencies’ web applications contained similar vulnerabilities.

It is becoming clear that old folks like this need some basic internet literacy if they're going to accuse reporters of "hacking" because they looked at the source.
