Rogers and Bell executives are more interested in their ego than their networks and use their oligopoly money to buy sports teams:

Last time this happened, they blamed Ericsson, but let’s face facts, they aren’t competent:

Their cellular business used to be called Cantel 30 years ago and we called it Can’t Talk.

Their CIO is from Vodaphone.

They have no oversight because the CRTC executive are best friends with the big 3 telcos:

Interac (Debit) apparently has their primary and backup network services with Rogers. They need a new executive team ASAP.
You're right, and foo x = foo x also qualifies as 'a -> 'a. The only function that always terminates is the identity function, then.
Ego is the problem. The Twitter habit is but a symptom.
AFAIU, as compared to pure monomorphization, yes, sometimes the model imposes runtime indirection. This is particularly the case for methods. However, for simple yet common cases, such as functions taking []T, the model permits inlining into the caller.
I believe Lemire's point is that the compiler is still able to inline the function despite the generic definition, so at least in this somewhat narrow case generics are a zero-cost abstraction.
Zuck is doing just fine.
But people actually do sell books. It’s not the case that Amazon always comes to new book store locations and undercuts them on price just long enough for them to go out of business.
I am chill. I am expressing my own opinion that the timing of espousing his opinion was in poor taste.

But since he did I wanted to give my alternative take as to not leave his opinion unchallenged.
The URL move is more nuanced than that, no? If you look at how modern browsers decide what to show you in the address bar, they often try to show you the hard-to-fake bit instead of the whole url, so you see notreallygoogle.com instead of google.com.search.q.notreallygoogle.com or notreallygoogle.com/http://google.com and similarly you’ll see the punycode if the browser thinks the domain name may be trying to look like another one with confusables.

I agree the email situation isn’t great but it is also more complicated: lots of legitimate companies send emails via third parties or otherwise want to put a name quite different from the email (e.g. mail chimp but also google docs comments appear to come from the commenter rather than some big id email address), so it isn‘t as simple as showing the full address only and users may learn to ignore the full address if it is fully of random-looking letters/digits. And email protocols complicate it further because there are ways in which the from field may not even match the actual sender, though that isn’t such a problem with gmail. I definitely do hope things will improve, however.
Definitely don't do this yourself if you're not familiar with how it works. If you don't set up all the SPF, DMARC, DKIM etc. perfectly, you're going to get terrible deliverability (your outgoing emails will get auto marked as spam).

Just pay Google or Microsoft or Yahoo or whoever to do it for you. Reliable email is not something to skimp on.

Edit: Also, IMHO: gsuite (or whatever they renamed it to) is a huge productivity booster, between meet and groups and drive and docs and calendar and sheets and such, not to mention chrome sync and sign-in with google, etc. And federated management of all of that together in the admin interface, along with integrated legal archival and discovery. Well worth the monthly cost (what is it, like $10?). If your employees aren't worth that much every month, you shouldn't be hiring them.

It's also much more usable cross platforms than the nightmare that is MS Office. Outlook is terrrrrrrrible.

Well, it feels good in the moment, but crazy people like this always engage, so you get dragged into an argument that drains your emotional reserves for no benefit.
The entire context of this discussion is about government penalties or subsidies for on ICE or EV..

As I said a in my opening comment, there should be neither and like the Film vs Digital the market should work itself out

The comments in this thread is people pushing back claiming the market can not do that and the government must step in with its coercive force to tip the scales.

Government action by it very nature is force.
4G and 5G modems can be a really solid solution if you point an antenna at the tower.
10Gbps to a single terminal using exactly what modulation and code rate, and channel size?

Or course you can achieve high speeds over geostationary if you throw entire transponders full of MHz at the problem. Which has a proportionally huge monthly recurring cost to control that transponder space. Or as a total percentage of the satellite's transponders dedicated to your network.

Yes satellite tx power from the twta is more powerful than it used to be. You still need a huge ass earth station to start doing 16apsk/32apsk reliably.

> I don't see how Rogers could keep quiet on this

My sweet summer child, you have no seen how meek and docile Canadians are.

They'll take a page from the Federal Liberals, spout a bunch of unrelated platitudes and nothingness, and pretend nothing happened.

The oligarchs control Canada and the Federal Liberals are just a finger in their hand. There will be no inquiry from regulators - what's more - they'll rubber stamp the Rogers - Shaw merger that's been in the works.

If Canadians say anything, Bill C-11 will be ready to squelch them online. If they say anything in person, a quick speech from Trudeau calling them foreign-funded MAGA terrorists will cause the government-funded CBC to produce an article. That article will then be used by the Trudeau Liberals to invoke the Emergency Act once more, then de-bank and trample them.

>If you can stand the user hostile ux

old.reddit.com is still available, which is only slightly user hostile. There's a setting to default to it if you're logged in, otherwise it's pretty trivial to either install an extension or write a userscript to automatically redirect you to that subdomain.
I didn't say it was. I was commenting on the comment above me and pointing out that honest feedback can be a form of help. It doesn't have to be a PR.
Sounds like how the free market was designed to work.

Not that I find it a particularly good design, though.
I feel there is a lot of repression in Japan and while acts like this shouldn't be condoned, it's worth having the conversation about why these things occur.

Sure the guy is "nuts, unhinged" or whatever, but I get that you might be onto something, how on earth is change possible in Japan with such a dominant force in power. It's so dominant it feels like bullying towards younger people who most policies aren't geared towards helping.

Even the fact it's so hard to get mental healthcare is part of failing government policy.

Sadly, I know that for sure, no one will ever question anything, it will hardly be discussed and the guy will be executed as soon as possible. It will be busy as usual.
PyPI 2FA Security Key Giveaway
really? Is Go that bad? Write a server that does communication or emulate select in Go in other languages. Go is really effective at writing things fast at the same time that it has value types and can scale not only in I/O but also in multi-core in a way that is easier than anything I saw before. I am a mainly C++ person but I must admit that the cost/investment ratio in Go is really good for writing server-side stuff.

Miami is the closest large city in the US to the Carribean, Central America, and South America. Thats why a lot of freight forwarders are located there. And yes, some of them are definitely shady - I gather some people use freight forwarders because they are more cooperative with fraduently filling out customs forms or other import documentation.

Stripe has reinvented check clearing fraud, how wonderful :(
Hmm, any mail without the hate would be fine. This user is just showing what a good mail might look like?
I copied the pasted all the text into my markdown editor just so I could read it.
Obviously I don’t know the details of Stripe or your particular transaction, but in general payment systems tend to be extremely eventually consistent. (This is partly for historical reasons, and partly because they’re designed for robust interoperability and so fall back to resolving problems with phone calls between banks.)

Payment providers generally have heuristics to mark transactions as successful when there’s a high chance they’ve been finalized, but unfortunately this sometimes fails. In theory the final arbiter is the court system, but obviously that also has its limitations, as you encountered.

TLDR: It’s annoying, but I’m not sure any other provider would have actually done any better here.
I consider your critique of the comment entirely invalid, given that he didn't complain about quality, he complained about quantity.

> They (FAANG, etc) are doing this to increase usage and profits, right?

Yes. They're obfuscating the mechanisms that can be used to assess trustworthiness so they can sell it back to us as some kind of reputation or verification product.

Email is a perfect example. If the from address wasn't moved around, hidden, and obfuscated, it would be easy to tell people "make sure Venmo emails are from @venmo.com" and that's the thing everyone would look for. Instead, there's an entire generation of people that don't know how to identify a from address and it opens the door to a paid verification platform instead.
No, he is still trying to get out of the purchase agreement he has signed.
That's only in case he can't get financing. There's no option to pay $1B and walk away. Twitter can sue to force him to complete the deal under the contract they signed.

However I suspect the lawsuit to be settled rather than drag on for years. Probably he'll buy it at a reduced price or pay a larger termination fee to walk away.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. starlink is also multiple smaller beams within a single beam for frequency reuse. a single beam does not get more bandwidth (in Gbps) than a viasat terminal.

> You still need a huge ass earth station to start doing 16apsk/32apsk reliably.

16apsk has been used for about a decade now on GEO satellites. I'm not sure why the gateway size matters when we're talking about user speeds.
You sound a lot like the kind of person that would buy "supplements" from GNC or CVS.
And that's a very typical attitude for a person that is willing to give it that much effort.

If you have a problem and want to correct it, sometimes the requirement is that you become informed and use some chemical compounds (i.e. supplements) in the way that your body can utilize them.

Or you can pretend that everything is fixed with a pill and you just take a pill and you're better, only your results seem lacking....
Giving your body certain chemicals, at the right time, in the right ratios can do remarkable things. Or you ignore the larger prescription and take your GNC pill and find it doesn't work like your Adderall.

As a side note, do you find that you have very expensive poop? Because most all that you ingest comes out the other end as well.
> but hundreds of broken functionalities remain.

And since pretty much forever, even more so on Windows.

The difference is that windows users are used to those defects, they pretty much probably didnt realize there was a choice, so that is always the baseline for them.

On the whole, if you took a blank computer, gave linux and gave windows, people who had never used a computer before would find themselves more helped with linux than windows. Hell, for nearly a decade it was impossible to install windows on a sata disk(which was by far the standard) without breaking out a floppy drive.

Terraform or Pulumi? Using CloudFormation or APIs directly is an exercise in frustration IMO.
Flabbergasted was how I honestly felt. But you’ve more than adequately clarified where I was wrong.
>That it is "politically extreme" to say we should limit our Federal Government to the activities described in the Constitution, maybe we need to adress how we're defining the faults?

the degree of extremeness (extremity? lol) depends on the degree to which you believe we should limit it, and how many Americans agree with you
I would be surprised if that were the case
Google or Microsoft.

At a prior startup, we only choose Microsoft because of their willingness to sign a BAA (HIPAA).

Elsewise, just do Google Workspace. Cost is reasonably for what it costs.
Street cars are not much easier to automate than driverless cars, though. It's only fully separated trains that we automate currently.
Ask HN: Which has more jobs: Python or Java+Kotlin? For a Go dev
I have the impression that only a small fraction of Python jobs are for general programming and backend (my area)... Data science (not my area) seems to be the majority of Python positions. Am I correct in my analysis? Java+Kotlin, on the other hand, rules the backend.

What I love about Python:

- Programmers culture of simplicity, simple solutions are always preferred (contrast that to Java, below)

- Fast development and iteration

- Easy debugging

- No need to deal with Maven or Gradle

What I hate about Python:

- The language is huge, a lot larger than Java, takes a lot more time and effort to master it. It's easy to get started programming in it, but I'm talking about mastering it, not intermediate-level knowledge of Python. And it keeps growing. It's going the way of C++.

- The GIL and lack of multithreading. There are several workarounds but they are still workarounds.

- Deployment (pip, venv, etc)

What I love about Java:

- The JVM

- The performance

- Easy deployments with JARs

- Language small enough to master, unlike Python which is huge (although it seems that Kotlin is also huge)

What I hate about Java:

- Cold start time

- Maven (which is its own beast)

- Gradle (which is its own beast)

- XML obsession

- forced OOP where it doesn't fit well

- Programmers culture of complexity, love for "design patterns", overengineering, "enterprise" stuff, getters and setters (public fields frowned upon), etc

(I know modern Java has gotten better and less enterprise-y but some points above still stand)

I have a feeling I'd be happier writing backends in Python instead of Java (or Kotlin), but the availability of jobs is a huge factor for me.

Background: software developer with >10 year experience, haven't touched Java since 2012 (so I'd need a big refresh and relearn it), have worked on simple Python scripts for automation (so I'd need to dive deeper and learn it more) and most of my work has been with Golang. Plus if I decide to go with Java I feel compelled to also learn Kotlin since it seems the future in the JVM world.

It's a hallmark of entitlement to expect abusive communication to stay private. Not publishing the name is a good idea though.
The sum example is simple, but very often have I seen people write general solutions for business logic or whatnot that you can't just get from a 3rd party package, when it wasn't at all clear that's needed. I have done this myself too.
I wouldn't say that DevOps is dead. Just that some companies can survive without it. It is the type of thing that is good to have. Not absolutely required. You tend to miss it most when things go wrong lol
Well the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Pipe and sidewalk routing have similar objectives and constraints.

Not all sidewalks are heated. It’s more like they paved the top of the service vaults.

How does this page implement the horizontal scrolling? How does it decide how to format into columns?
a) As a hiring manager (not at Twitter, but at another tech firm), we prefer to have recruiters to help us source and evaluate engineering candidates (instead of doing everything ourselves, given we also have other responsibilities around engineering and building product)

b) If you think it doesn't require much talent to run Twitter, then the talent must really really suck at some of the recent competitors who are trying to take on Twitter.
You must be one of those folks who struggles to understand other people have a different experience, different priorities, and different knowledge and that you have to actually communicate the thing in your brain if you want other people to know it.

I understand, but I really have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not tapped into the Twitter meta.

>And on the rare occasions when you had a problem you would immediately know what part of the control panel or the registry to go to and fix it yourself. Occasionally you had to google...

I don't believe anyone in the history of ever has fixed a problem on their Windows box by confidently wading into the system registry and changing exactly the correct thing. Of all the things to wave around as superior to the Linux way of doing things, the system registry is an odd choice.

In fact, I lay a challenge: without googling, type the full path of any single registry key.
This video might be relevant to your described scenario:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDXB0CY2tSQ

Notice how in The Netherlands, despite making bikes, transit, and pedestrians welcome in this suburban business park near the airport, you can still drive there if you want.

Yes, if you lived in The Netherlands, you could drive to this business park shown in the video in your personal vehicle. There's a parking garage right there, and even though the infrastructure is pedestrian and bicycle focused and prioritized, the cars don't have to wait long at the traffic signal or endure crazy traffic.

Why is that? Because there are fewer cars.

Why are there fewer cars? Because there are viable alternatives.

Essentially, having better public transit, pedestrian, and cycling infrastructure actually makes life better for drivers, too!

The thing is, in North America, in most places you don't actually have any sort of choice on whether you want to drive or not. If you don't drive, your entire environment is hostile to your very existence, and public transit is just for the poor and desperate. You must buy a car whether you want to or not. That's not really choice or freedom.

You're saying that you would choose a personal vehicle, but does that choice have the potential to change if the surrounding circumstances change?

So, it's perfectly fine that you'd prefer to own an automobile. You're free to pay the close to $10,000 a year it costs for the average person to own a new car according to AAA.

I personally wouldn't make that choice if I had a better one available, but if I live in suburban America the choice has been made for me.

> Electrification and self-driving systems (and the resulting fleets of cheap automated taxis) will go a long way towards reducing the waste inherent to automobiles.

This is what's so frustrating about talking about the future of the transportation with people who can't imagine a world that lessens the emphasis on car-scale infrastructure. The waste problem with automobiles has already been solved. It has been solved by not using them as much.

This isn't a hypothetical. We have living, working examples of how to use cars less often in small towns, medium sized suburbs, and big cities.

Making cars self-driving is putting lipstick on a pig. It's like taking high blood pressure drugs instead of losing weight.
especially funny is that an OS called "Windows" has a laughably crappy window manager. Having to move the mouse to the small titlebar to move a window? having to hit a corner or side very precisely to resize? You'd think no developer working on windows ever tried the damn thing.

There is also Grey Market, goods sold at a discount in other nations then reimported back to the US, dont know if that popular with enterprise gear but it for sure is with consumer electronics, and other product groups (like books which is legal now thanks to the US Supreme court)
My favourite thing about Ruffle is that it can be installed as a browser extension, which allows to seamlessly view flash animations on old websites with a modern browser.
How can you separate speech and reach in this specific case? Twitter could allow all speech but limit reach, ie shadow ban. Would that satisfy your notion of free speech?
The $1B termination fee is the tip of the iceberg. Changing your mind is not covered in the termination clause, and his evidence Twitter mislead him is contradicted by his own statements prior to the deal. Twitter is owed substantially more than a billion. Likely closer to ten.
