There's no canonical YAML implementation, and YAML spec is enormous (doubly so if you need to work with stuff like non-quoted strings etc. )

SchoolStatus | Integrations Developer | Remote (US) | Full-time | https://schoolstatus.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=35

Hey! We're SchoolStatus, a one-stop-shop for educators that pairs student data & parent communication tools. As you can imagine, it is of the utmost importance that we make sure that we only show up-to-date data to the Educators who use SchoolStatus.

In this role, you have the chance to build and maintain the services that keep our data fresh. This involves fetching the data from education portals and school databases, transforming the data into standardized forms, and polishing it for presentation. We try to automate everything that we can, so if the idea of building an army of web scrapers and cron jobs sound like fun, this job is for you.

We're looking for people with the following skills:

- Experience with Linux command line

- Relational Databases

- Proficiency with parsing data from APIs, CSVs, and other sources

- General Web Dev experience

The following skills are a huge plus:

- Git

- AWS (Lambda and ECS)

- Looker

- Postgres

- Rails (or Ruby in general)

- Web Automation

- Docker
Post-2015 Europe is just not the same. Walkable neighborhoods, open public services, just do not work properly when you introduce millions of dangerous men from culturally incompatible regions.

It should be clear from these border events that migrants are used as geopolitical pawns to weaken Europe. We need to see mass deportation, as well as stricter minimum requirements to gain citizenship (eg. minimum EUR100k in income tax paid, fluency in the language), if Europe can ever hope to recover.
Hope they make it easy to wipe and install Linux.
Public criticism does not change things only via boycott. I agree with you about boycotts and their at-best questionable usefulness.

The more meaningful aspects are the fact it creates a negative reputation, and that reputation impacts all interactions with the company. A bad reputation adds an additional cost to interacting with you (be it customers, workers, or business partners), and that needs to be constantly paid for somehow.

Additionally, there's some level of 'acceptableness' for the individuals of a company to do unethical things, which also plays a role. You addressed this in your 99% hypothetical, which I would agree with if it was done in a vacuum. However it's not. In practice if 1% of businesses were behaving in some way the rest refused on ethical grounds, lawmakers would be be falling over themselves to address it. Obviously such an example is unlikely to appear, but I hope you get my point. Moving the needle on acceptable behavior also moves the needle on what acceptable regulations of behavior.

I also largely agree on many of these factors being a dynamic balance. It's just that public criticism is already a factor in the current balance. Some level of criticism is required to maintain it, lest we move towards a balance that sees even more bad behavior.

> If you want to protest the parking scheme and you complain to Trader Joe’s you won’t get anywhere

TJ does care that it's customers want to come to the store, and they do have some power during lease negotiations. Making it bad PR for Trader Joes really is a good way to exerting pressure to get the landlord's rule changed.

For this specific parking garage, the TJ is the most major tenant, so they would have the most leverage over getting the rules changed.

They also could have easily pushed back and told the landlord if they do this they won’t be renewing their lease. I’m sure losing an anchor tenant like that is enough to encourage the landlord to change their mind.
Once your identity is proofed using physical identity credentials, your digital identity can be used not just for buying alcohol but also for air transit with the TSA. The logical conclusion is to then use your digital ID for credit and financial transactions, instead of credit knowledge tests or just winging it with personal data in forms. Baby steps. Think of how credit cards moved from mag stripe to chip, and merchants still using the mag stripe for transactions are liable for the fraud.

I feel like there's a strong anti-marketing.

I personally never experienced any services terminated, and it sounds unplausible that anyone would terminate a service that brings money. Especially major ones like GCS or GCE. I can only remember AppEngine's TaskManager (wasn't terminated, but refactored into Cloud Tasks, to be not AppEngine-specific). They probably terminate only services that no one pays for anyway. Maybe you've used Alpha-Beta features that were supposed to be changed/killed later?

> I've also read in the past their service and sales was diabolical.

Quite the opposite: Microsoft sales are diabolical. AWS also actively poaches all around the valley. I'd say Google is lacking behind mostly on that kind of marketing/sales.

Market share is a tricky thing: AWS opened up Cloud first, so it's not surprising to be #1. Microsoft had very strong presence in enterprises and government, so it was easy for them to onboard existing customers. Also, Microsoft counted Azure under "Web Services" category (together with online Outlook or Office 360), and it's not clear what share of that was Azure.

> in my region people go azure or aws

I feel for them as I think they fell into marketing charms. Because, technically, Azure is the worst, I'd never choose it. AWS is a strong choice (nobody got fired for choosing AWS).
In Austria until last week PCR tests were deemed adequate. Now they aren't anymore.
The basic difference is that the API is a specification at a level higher than the hardware, e.g. source language. An application binary interface specification is at the machine code level. Often compilers, linkers, and operating system conventions all all tied together and the libraries and calling programs follow the same rules.

Note that there can be more than one. Typically the C calling convention was commonly used where the caller pushes data onto the stack, calls a function, and upon return the caller pops the data it pushed. The advantage of this is for variable length argument lists there's less chance of mismatch. A 'pascal' convention was popular on Windows and OS/2 where the called function would use a single instruction to return and pop N bytes. It also made the code slightly smaller as the callers didn't need the pop instructions. That ABI was specific Windows and OS/2 GUI interfaces but compilers would also let you choose for your own libs--I don't know/remember what the kernels used.
Agree it isn’t some cure all. However at the same time, I think it is valid for people to speculate and experiment and see if it can work. Dismissing it entirely removes room for experimentation and I don’t think it is the place of media or pharmacists to trivialize it at the start. Just as people were looking at it as a panacea with certainty, I think people on the other side of the debate became almost religious with their single track vaccine worship, particularly when it came to them mandating it. Somewhere in the middle is balance and civil discourse.

This is all about as unreal as it gets.
It just is: Any valid JSON is valid YAML with the same semantics. It was intentionally designed that way (though not from the start iirc).

Basically take JSON, make quotes optional for strings and make curly brackets optional if the object is indented properly, and boom you've got (something like) YAML.
Speculation: because it would draw attention to where the real profit comes from?
>The people filling the hospitals, which has consistently been overstated in magnitude, are obese/overweight and with other co-morbidities.

Good thing that only 15-30% of the Western world is obese. I don't follow the situation everywhere but here in Belgium fact is that people have been refused access to the ICU because there was no place because of COVID-19. And that's with postponing non-urgent care (which is happening, again) and all the measures taken.

What you call moving on with life means refusing people access to hospitals.
That seems like a typo or confusion and they actually mean HTTP.

Consul's notion of a service includes port numbers, and while I'm sure you could hack something up using DNS txt records and default port numbers, it's an important distinction because it means multiple instances running on one box can easily be discovered.
Not necessarily. You can waive your legal rights. e.g. agreeing to talk to the police waives your 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination.
> Vaccines prevent infection, as evidenced by the drastically lower COVID case numbers in the vaccinated.

Vaccines suppress symptoms, which may result in infected people being unaware they are infected or transmitting to others. That's why the CDC recommends (as of October 15) that vaccinated people be tested after exposure, since lack of symptoms != lack of infection, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vac...

> Based on evolving evidence, CDC recommends fully vaccinated people get tested 5-7 days after close contact with a person with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

No, wasn’t a lying argument. If you go out without your phone, fair answer to give.
I’m not sure that’s true, it depends how you define an illusion.

One would be to say that Illusions are merely incorrect interpretations of sensory data. They can be experienced by beetles, and even amoeba.

A more sophisticated definition might say that an illusion is when a subject, which has a mental model of a situation, incorrectly interprets sensory data to create a major mismatch between their mental model of a situation and reality. If we take this definition, then since many mammals or even vertebrates construct mental models of situations, they can all experience illusions. For example an animal seeing a reflection of itself, or it’s prey.
Because you don't want to bring in a separate language with a separate runtime with unknown interop story just to read config files?

It looks really interesting. However, it asks for access to your browsing history, Google Drive, including all personal information associated with your Google account, which I think is a bit much given that I couldn't find any information about the author or source code.
Why I Use a simple analog face on a $800 Apple watch
When a drive only has one actuator for all of the heads, there's only a little bit of throughput to be gained from Native Command Queueing, and that only requires a dozen or so commands in the queue. What you're suggesting goes a little further than just plain NCQ, but I'd be surprised if it could yield more than another 5% throughput increase even in the absence of high-priority commands.

But the big problem with having the drive's queue contain a full second or more worth of work (let alone the hours possible with NVMe at hard drive speeds) is that you start needing the ability to cancel or re-order/re-prioritize commands that have already been sent to the drive, unless you're working in an environment with absolutely no QoS targets whatsoever. The drive is the right place for scheduling IO at the millisecond scale, but over longer time horizons it's better to leave things to the OS, which may be able to fulfill a request using a different drive in the array, or provide some feedback/backpressure to the application, or simply have more memory available for buffering and combining operations.
I actually disagree it's bike shedding.

If you can write a bad YAML document because of those mis-features/edge cases, I'd say you've already lost.

Humans are messy, but at the end of the day the data has to go to a program, so a concise and super simple interface has a lot of power to it for humans.

Working at a typical software company with average skill level engineers (including myself), no one likes writing YAML. But everyone is fine with JSON.

I think it's a case of conceptual purity vs what an average engineer would actually want to use. And JSON wins that. If YAML was really better than JSON, we'd all be using that right now.

So does it really matter if YAML is superior if >80% of engineers pick JSON instead?

> Being from the midwest I always sort of laughed at these land parcels being called 'farms' since economically it really can't be farmed outside of selling niche products at affluent farmers markets

The midwest can't be economically farmed outside of being propped up by a trillion dollars in government welfare called "the farm bill." That includes paying farmers to not grow anything, and to grow food that is shipped to warehouses where it rots.

Then there's all the non-farming federal spending in those states.

Then there's all the military spending to employ all the midwest kids coming out of high school with no job prospects.

Then there's the tariffs and other trade policies to protect midwestern farm crop prices.

Then there's the mandated use of ethanol from corn in gasoline.

Then there's the price fixing on sugar which drives processed food to use corn syrup.

Also, he farm was a hay farm for fifty years goes a bit contrary to the claim about "niche products ad affluent farmers markets."
But you can install a whole lot of panels in a field, which has a significant amount of labor price advantage. Running a cable over might not be too bad.
It's probably fair to say that they're very different than news journalists. The journalist who is on the ground at whatever the interesting foreign bureau is at the moment (or even just covers domestic agricultural policy or whatever) and writes about it straightforwardly is very different from the person writing with flair about topics of historical or literary importance even if both doubtless involve significant research.

And I will say the latter often leads to people on sites such as this bemoaning the lack of the bullet points version.

as a counter argument. I work in robotics, where many operators will look at and change settings in a yaml file during testing. They do not have software skills outside of this.

I don't understand this. YAML has limitations. All formats have limitations. If a format is too limiting, don't use it. Pick one more suitable, or come up with another one, like NestedText (or whatever). What is this need to tell everyone else to "move on" from using some format because it doesn't sit your specific preferences or use case?
This makes zero sense to me. Why do config files out of all things have to be accessible to non-coders?
I’m kind of unsure about the way CUE achieves reuse: if I understand correctly, you have files in a directory tree and the (result of processing the) bottommost files are the things you’re supposed to point your consuming tools at. So there’s no way to share structure among a collection of items if that collection is nested inside your config, the only operation available is essentially the generation of a set of similar but separate configs. Or am I wrong here? I’d very much like to be.

(Also, the type system is absolutely delicious, but it badly needs a paper with a complete description. I’m extremely interested in how it works, but fragmentary “notes on the formalism underlying” CUE are not enough.)
It really depends. It is a bit difficult to answer this question without understanding your background first. What CS lectures have you already taken? What related courses (e.g., math) have you done?

For example, the Stack data structure that you bring into discussion is quite simple (but interesting and important), so I am not surprised it is treated speedily. Introduction to Algorithms typically has more difficult content.

Depending on this, I could recommend for example that you follow the lectures on the excellent MIT OCW YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/mitocw). But you could also do one of the numerous algorithms and data structures courses on coursera/edx. It all depends on what you know so far and what your goal is.
Yeah, the other thing is, sterilising vaccines are possible, they are just harder to research so the initial target for pretty much every vaccine was to reduce hospotalizations and deaths.

I don't know if sterilising vaccins are being researched now though. I heard something about possible nose-spray vaccine that would both improve this and make applications easier. Maybe well see that in near future.
Hi, firstly great job on the app - really nice. I tried to do the demo puzzle on my touchscreen laptop, but while the dragging worked very nicely, I wasn't sure how to actually rotate the pieces myself (seemed to happen randomly when tapping the piece), would be nice to have a clearer way to interact, e.g. double tap to rotate 90 degrees.
