The mystery deepens. I mentioned my mac because it's an easier comparison to make, but we were cross platform and I also had a contemporary ThinkPad. In fact, I worked mostly on the ThinkPad because I preferred Visual Studio to XCode.

Most of our customers did stick to mac, though. A lot of architects fancy themselves designers and really buy into Apple's marketing towards creatives.
Though here be dragons: All side-effects evaluated at compile-time, are not run at compile-time!

So fopen, print and all IO or OS functions should be avoided, or even warned.
It might be useful in certain edge-cases, but in my 20 years of compile-time programming, it's almost ever a bug, not a feature.
What would I want the Python 3 community to do now? For a start, I would like the Python 3 community not to post attacks like yours. To quote you: "Wow, how reading this makes me hope Ubuntu Pro fails catastrophically."

This suggests the Python 3 community did *not* learn.

To your point about science: that's not quite how science works. I rarely want to run your code + data + system wholesale. You already ran your code on your data, and unless you fabricated something, I can see the results you got from your publication.

In most cases:

- I want to try your algorithm on new data.

- I want to improve upon your algorithm

- I want to try a new algorithm on your data

... and so on. This allows apples-to-apples comparisons.

I sometimes want to be able to replicate results from the 1900's, and commonly going back to the sixties and eighties. You're on a warpath against people using Python for anything not designed for tech-industry style ephemeral code.

Before Python 2 -> Python 3, this was could usually be done either without changes, or with sufficiently minimal changes that it wasn't outside of the realm of a grad student. The whole docker-style mess of dependencies isn't typically a problem; most code uses numpy+pandas, and occasionally, scipy+pylab.

We have decades of experience with this just working with C, C++, Java, and Fortran code, and it more-or-less works okay at this point.

To your conversation style: I'm very familiar with the differences between Python 2 and Python 3. Insulting people isn't a good substitute for an argument. Docker is less than a decade old. Even if it solved the problems you think it solves (it doesn't), and was usable by non-CS grad students (it isn't), this kind of technology churn is exactly what you want to *avoid*.

I hope Ubuntu Pro succeeds spectacularly, to the point where I'd be glad to pay Ubuntu for my *personal* desktop.

If the Python community accepted Python 2 needs to be maintained for a long time (decades, at least), that would go a long ways.
Rebase has become so integral to my workflow, it's hard to imagine living without it. I intentionally avoid merge commits, including configuring git pull to rebase rather than merge. I find it so much easier to commit a bunch of tiny iterations while doing local testing, rebase and squash them, then post them for review. As a bonus, I frequently push after each of those small commits to a feature branch so I don't have to worry about losing work if my drive dies.
A subpoena is a court order (and the service requirement constitutes legal proof that it was delivered). Refusal to comply is contempt, which can be punished as a crime. No, you don't get to ignore a subpoena.

In this particular case it looks like they're just being asked to testify about their product in an unrelated case. They aren't being sued.

Call your lawyer first and do what they say. Most likely you can arrange a deposition more convenient to your schedule and location.
Those are different things. Enforcing an agreement of contract is different from forcing an agreement to the contract.

Hard to call this surprising. The surprising thing is and always will be the answer to why and how to respond.
In practice, the constant factor and the exponent need to be considered together. The constant factor on its own is very uninteresting, practically meaningless without the exponent.
>”Even if all you cared about was the exponent”

There are really only two things to care about: the exponent on its own, or practical runtime.

Ah, we're heading down this conversational path. Gotcha. I'll save us both the time - like it or not, you don't have a right to free speech on a platform owned by a private entity. C'est la vie.

Edit: There's also something to be said about Truth Social censoring users, and it being a platform owned by someone who's highly likely to try to be president a second time. See what I mean about how everyone weaponizes social media for their own gains?
If you do your work in VSCode you can setup the following pretty easily and it works really well (I use it to connect to my workstation in my home office when I work in a coffee shop on my laptop or the rare occasions I go into the office):

1. Install Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/) on your laptop and workstation and enable the "MagicDNS" (https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/) feature. This sets up a VPN mesh between your machines (and any other you add).

2. Setup you SSH keys so you can login via the "MagicDNS" domain name from your laptop to your workstation.

3. Install the VSCode Remote Development extension (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview) on your laptop and then open a workspace on your workstation via its SSH feature using the "MagicDNS" domain.

It is surprisingly fast - you are just sending keystrokes/commands over the VPN and not rasterizing the host screen like you would with VNC.
I'd give Go a chance. The syntax grows on you IMO and I think it fits what you want (easy on the eyes is arguable). If you like Python because of how productive it is, but you need performance or a compiled binary, I think Go fills that gap well.
Here's the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9XBxMk_plhA
Yes, that's what I think as well.

The second part of your comment sounds interesting as well. I don't know if that's true, but I noticed as well that the we westeners seem to do similar things like the ones we criticize, we just do it while claiming that it's for [freedom, democracy, safety, increased GDP, jobs, ...]. But that's how international politics works, I guess.

You’re placing way too much trust in the government, the same agency held hostage by a private company that forbid them to automatically calculate the taxes owed by its citizens.

Plus why what the government do with a social network? They’d still need to moderate it — at atrocious prices at that.

That is because Asians designed the SAT to further Asian supremacy and it is heavily biased towards Asian culture.

But that seems what Harvard believes and as such stacks the odds against Asian applicants.
"BBC Micro motherboard requires two voltages: +5V and -5V. The former powers all the chips, and the latter only for sound and serial communication.
Fortunately, 5V is readily available on a ATX PSU, and -5V can be derived from -12V with a simple 7905 linear regulator"

The power ATX power supply also supplied -5 volts. Why did they need to use a linear regulator to on the -12v line derive -5v?

Sounds like a great argument for all countries that can to acquire nukes.
It has a lot to do with culture and expectations. And what you are willing to put your children through. One of my good friends is from Korea and told me about how awful it was to go to school all day, then be off for an hour or two, then go back to a private tutor until 9 or 10pm at night. Rinse and repeat. This is inhumane by American standards but apparently normal in Korea. That type of culture and mentality does not disappear when people immigrate to western countries.
C++ has only half of a fully working compile time metaprogramming.

I agree with you 100%, especially on the first paragraph. Definitely I'm interested in use cases and knowing best tool for job. I only mentioned the finance part as the poster mentioned recruiting a couple times... Thereby a job, and money.
Interesting data set. Sure seems like there are some systemic factors at play here that are putting some groups ahead and some groups behind. (Or, in the case of young men, both at the same time).
As someone with East Asian ancestry in North America, you quickly learn that hard work will only rarely help you find opportunities with institutions that have a huge demand of qualified applicants but not enough seats.

This includes universities, high-prestige schools like medical schools, and a lot of creative industries (mentorship opportunities and scholarships just aren't there for you). This is unfair, but it's difficult to discuss this openly non-Asian people due to a lot of skepticism about disadvantages.

But the nice thing is that the private sector truly doesn't care as much. So long as you can help make a company money, they will be eager to hire you. This includes FAAMG, Jane Street, and other companies - I personally know East Asian friends who had no difficulty working there, whereas others with similar or stronger work ethics faced a far more uphill battle getting into medical school. There is a lot of room for success at the most pragmatic and practical organizations, and there are plenty of other applicants for people doing do-good work that directly benefits society (hence the rejections despite hard work).

If you really still want to contribute, effective altruism via donations to effective charities is still an option, along with entrepreneurship for good via founding your own company.

The SATs, particularly the mathematics score, is very much a reflection of your parents' willingness to push you academically. The stratification is more granular than Asian versus Black or White versus Native America. For example, Jewish students excel beyond the Caucasian average while Cambodian and other Southeast Asian Immigrants perform significantly below the national average for Asian Americans. The challenge for large and heterogeneously diverse nations like the U.S. is to offer an educational system that provides access to quality education regardless of parental involvement. There is also the need to provide quality education to adult learners, a wholly different, but equally important topic in the area of rapid technological change.
Yes BUT it needs tuning. Splunk is complicated and takes continuous maintenance to optimize speed.

I work as a Splunk integrator and here's what I often see:

1. Customer installs Splunk with a qualified Splunk or third-party architect team. The deployment works well.

2. Customer adds infrastructure to the deployment. Splunk slows down. License costs go up.

3. Customer chooses between outside help or DIY. DIY rarely works.

4. Customer now needs outside help. Now Splunk is very slow and expensive, and now it will cost a lot to tune it.

Splunk, the company, is in a tough spot for several reasons: rotating c-level cast, unpopular changes to license model, bad acquisitions. The product is still best in class but tough to keep optimized.

I don’t think he should be arrested, but there is a line to be drawn between mocking the police and fooling people into calling them like in TFA where he deleted the posts that made it clear that it was a joke. “ruining the joke” is often a euphemism for “it’s funnier when it fools people.”

This stunt ended up acting more like a hoax in practice; it wasn’t just a snarky tweet.

One of my favorite FB groups (and Twitter accounts) is https://mobile.twitter.com/elwooddogmeat which is a fake company that fake sells dog meat with the same marketing as cow/pig/chicken meat that sometimes gets a huge rise out of people.

Imagine a case where it also creates a torrent of phone calls of concern to a public agency. Perhaps a better solution is for the police to contact Twitter/Facebook in such an event where the account gets a large parody banner for the lemmings who can’t read the joke.
Male variability hypothesis confirmed once again.
I really hate getting automated messages on my birthday from places like insurance companies that require my phone number and birth date. I have even gotten them from companies where I applied for their service but didn't go through with it and am not a customer. It's really impersonal and annoying.

A business relationship does not entitle a company to be overly friendly and insert themselves where they don't belong.
Apologies, I apparently read too much into your statement about difficulty of hiring a legal defense and your "hope [that] they leave us alone." Good luck and I hope this doesn't take the wind out of your sails too much.
It's explained in the post. The FTC accused them of being anti-competitive. The only way to show you're not anti-competitive is to demand documents of your opponents that demonstrate you still have competition.

Pretty cool, but you could instead replace the LEDs.
If C++ could, and I think with some respect and acknowledgement to others as having gotten it better, adopt two improvements:

* library/language side: some domain of bullet proof memory

* compiler/language side: move build dependencies into the compiler or something that frontends the compiler ala GO/Rust with a flag to enforce it so it's optional. Here don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. There'd need be some new keywords or namespaces to make this work.

That'd be superb

I have all kinds of chances and opportunities to learn Rust but our eco system is endless C/C++. So I'd rather not deal with another complicated language. There's no near term or medium term timeline to move even 20% into Rust. I bail out to GO for I/O bound work.
Why do I feel like when you want developers with “passion” you wouldn’t be satisfied with developers who want to put 40 hours a week in and go home?
> part of my mental energy was going into waiting for feedback to my actions to appear on screen

This should not be underestimated. I was in a situation like this and I though my short term memory stopped working. I forget what steps I already did because some actions took 10-15 seconds. I often switched to another task in the meantime and could not recollect the last step I did 10 seconds ago. Such delays are poison for for intellectual task where you would need concentration for.

There is no excuse for any modern device to make such pauses. It is also far too expensive for any company. The price for hardware is too low to let any user wait.

I googled it (plenty of results...) and this was the basic analysis I found:

"The study of teenagers in Thailand following a second COVID-19 vaccination found that 18% -- not one third -- experienced any detectable cardiac effect, and that 1 in 301, not 1 in 43, had confirmed myocarditis. A large proportion of purported abnormalities detected by testing were without symptoms, and 100% of the teens in the study fully recovered after 14 days, the authors reported."

I'm not knowledgeable enough about anything regarding this subject to make any determinations about if that is being downplayed or misleading. I don't want to pretend like I understand it.

I assure, they are doing a lot of stuff; but granted, it's mostly bureaucracy to get the money to pay their bills...

I think the line here is pretty straightforward: the contents of your mind are all yours. Anything beyond that (documents, source code, lists of prospects) is not.

Non-compete clauses will try to limit the usefulness of the "in your mind" knowledge by restricting the domains in which you can work post-departure. It's my understanding that such clauses are generally held to be unenforceable except in an acquisition scenario.
As a NYC public school parent now with kids in college, who sees mono-white, mono-asian and mono-black school cultures (all 3 of which NYC unfortunately has lots of) as abhorrent, there is nothing wrong with not wanting a mono-culture in a community.

More and more I think this idea has merit. When I was still deep in the go kool-aid it was always shocking to me how difficult it was for some folks to use the language. "It's so simple!", I would scream internally, but it's only simple if you can check a lot of your previous experience at the door. Whether you're coming from a language with a more powerful type system (e.g. any other language with a static type system), or something completely dynamic, learning go will include a lot of friction. Despite it being a simple language on paper. I think that's part of the reason that python devs seem to have such success with it, because python and go tend to be focused on getting shit done over elegance.
This sounds like how it should be: Make users pay a (performance) penalty if they disable security. Don't do that, this is telling you.
Private sector is better but it isn't some meritocratic utopia. There is a lot of nepotism and elitism in the upper echelon.
The customer would already have had two domains because the subdomain was off the SaaS domain, not the client domain.

Client.SaaSdomain.tld

not

Shop.clientdomain.tld

If you’re setting up your service as a subdomain off the client domain, you won’t face the risk that one customer will get your entire service domain blocked (since it’s the customers domain).

The suspension is temporary. Presumably when the person is released, Twitter will reinstate the account. The other reason for suspension is to not compromise DMs and followers. But I also understand your point of view in not wanting to delete it.
It's self-contradicting in the sense that libertarianism in essence is like a politician saying "I want the power to minimize power, even my own." Practically no politician says that. It's a modest position.
To be clear, I'm a massive fan of Apple.

Was just trying to explain that although they don't technically have a monopoly in the phone market, they do hold a huge amount of power.

In a basic sense, monopolies were outlawed to try to keep markets fair, but Apple are in such a strong position now that they have pretty much the same level of influence that a company with an actual monopoly would have.
Not only that, where one lives can impact the funding available to even provide basic education. We are too comfortable letting poor areas have underfunded schools.
It's honestly not clear to me that many of these companies can afford proper moderation. Twitter's revenue is about $1.20 per user per month. Facebook's is about twice that. Proper moderation is expensive, with each incident requiring significant time from one or more smart people with native fluency and cultural understanding plus deep familiarity with the platform rules and all the tricks bad actors will try to play to get moderators to do the wrong thing.
Why are you giving interns root access to production servers?
I've never used Citrix but I remember when I had a T-1 (1.54Mbits for the younglings) and I left a Remote Desktop session open on a laptop. Some days later I went back to the laptop and used it for an hour before I realized I was in a RDP session to a machine in another state. I wonder what Citrix screwed up to make their UX so different. Of course a decent T-1 back then probably had better latency than today's consumer HFC connection.
About a 1000 respondents (should be enough), self-selected (could be very bad, if the text that lured people to respond even vaguely hinted at cancellations), and they asked whether respondents cancelled a subscription in the last year, but not whether they took a new subscription (⇒ they can’t conclude anything about subscription fatigue, making the header)

I find it very surprising that the term "Asian" lives in this twilight zone where nobody is sure if it includes India, the second largest country in the region.

For the SAT distribution tables, the term Asian includes Indians I assume, while the following table from the German professor does not break out India. smh.
