The problem is that larger organizations actually need to have a defined process of some sort. There is a point beyond which individual judgment doesn&#x27;t scale.<p>In general I believe that Google has a pretty good process. However every process has bugs. And I happen to have encountered one where they pick people who are qualified in one role into a more experimental one, and it only sometimes works out for them.

Meanwhile this extra memory usage _might_ be relevant on an 8k microcontroller, but even that is questionable given such an application is likely not storing many strings. And the time (and battery! and sanity!) saved by not performing strlen type operations.<p>Worth every byte.

I&#x27;ve had only one job in which work&#x2F;life balance was non-existent. &quot;Crushin&#x27; it&quot; was part of company culture, and I, as an early employee, was a poster boy for it. It never occurred to me that I could have (and should have!) taken a step back &amp; allowed myself to live like an actual human being. My work and my family life suffered, while I continued to wonder why I wasn&#x27;t doing as well as I could be.<p>Turns out that the main barrier was me. After leaving the land of &quot;crushin&#x27; it&quot; I&#x27;ve gone on to be part of other companies where it became clear that I have the power to push back against unreasonable demands without harming my performance at work or my prospects at the company.<p>All it took was a quick experiment: I went home at 5pm one day, then the next day, and before I knew it I was no longer logging into work after dinner. Weekends miraculously cleared up, too! Vacations became about having fun, and I no longer even remember what a corporate-issued LTE modem looks like.<p>This lead to all sorts of other realizations, such as: I thought I was in firm control of many aspects of my life, whereas in fact I hadn&#x27;t exercised as much control as I could have. I&#x27;ve gained lots of happiness points by running small experiments like the above.

Speaking as an engineering manager and <i>not</i> as a founder:<p>It took me a little while to realize that sometimes, the value of life trumps the value of money. It also took me a little while to realize that having the ability to say &quot;no&quot; to unreasonable expectations is worth its weight in gold.<p>There&#x27;s also the argument that work&#x2F;life balance promotes higher quality work, a position with which I&#x27;m inclined to agree especially where quantity of work output means relatively little compared to quality. As an example, some of the best work I&#x27;ve done came because I <i>chose</i> to dig deeper rather than having done so out of a feeling of obligation. These decisions to dig deeper into a problem came because my brain was still in one piece and both curious and intrinsically motivated to delve into a problem. In other words, I volunteered my own time to dig deeper into a problem while my brain was fresh, coming up with effective solutions of which I could be proud. There was a sense of accomplishment that came with it rather than a sense of dread, and for all other standard work expectations, I continued to deliver as usual during the day while enjoying my life afterwards.<p>This proved particularly helpful given what I currently do (less engineering work than before). I&#x27;ve been able to pursue secure engineering challenges more as a hobby and a passion than as an obligation, keeping my skillset fresh by choice.<p>The good companies realize all of these points. There&#x27;s a common realization among all of them that giving employees positive incentives (yet still just the option) to go above and beyond while still rewarding everyone who produces as expected yields more productive, generally happier people. Granted, this doesn&#x27;t work for everyone. The contractor mentality is notable for exploiting this approach for minimum labor per dollar spent, but elsewhere, I haven&#x27;t seen proper work&#x2F;life balance hinder productivity compared to what we see out of a lot of companies in the bay.<p>As for founders... if you&#x27;re a founder with buckets of equity, it&#x27;s probably in your favor to make a mid-term work&#x2F;life balance trade, but I can&#x27;t speak to that. @joesmo&#x27;s comment on culture and people-pleasing might speak better to that and to why most other firms expect harder working hours.<p><i>Edit: see @AdamMaras&#x27; comment below regarding exactly the kind of little culture seeds smaller companies can use as they grow to instill balance. &quot;life&#x2F;work balance&quot; is a subtle but valuable way to emphasize life first.</i>

Interesting, I read it differently. I read it as being internally inconsistent.<p>From my perspective it says &quot;you need to hand over the plaintext if law enforcement asks for it,&quot; which would imply that a master key of some sort needs to exist.<p>But then it also says that nothing in this act can be construed to require a specific design. But requiring a master key to exist would be requiring a specific design.<p>The proposed law sounds internally inconsistent to me.

&gt;&quot;He did it and nobody connected dots until piles of high risk crimes added up with benefit of easy tracing&quot;<p>All really good points. I found myself having to re-read the part where he was actually brought in by the authorities, thinking to myself how hard it would have to be to actually trace Le Roux the man. I wasn&#x27;t fully expecting him to be captured until the next installment, actually.<p>It just seems amazing for someone who had been security-minded to let arrogance and big risks, mainly the high risk crimes, bring him down. In a way, this part of the story reminds me of the recently deceased Howard Marks who went bigger and bigger until he went down.<p>Even so, stories like these make me wonder how many drugs&#x2F;weapons smugglers, etc. do turn in for that &quot;early retirement&quot; as millionaires. Must be quite a few.

<i>&gt;but you can&#x27;t expand it to a larger group of angels.</i><p>Your phrasing and labeling of &quot;angels&quot; is not the same as mine. We are starting from different assumptions.<p>In my opinion, you&#x27;ve made a leap of logic and <i>a priori</i> called the abstract actors in the government, &quot;angels&quot;.<p>I would weaken your sentence to say: <i>&quot;but you can&#x27;t expand it to a larger group of 3rd-parties.&quot;</i><p>It&#x27;s critical that I call them 3rd-parties because it is <i>not yet known</i> if they will behave with angel or demon <i>intentions.</i> It&#x27;s also impossible for technology to determine that.<p><i>&gt;You are arguing that we can&#x27;t trust the government. While that might be true, that is an entirely different debate</i><p>I respect that you consider it a separate issue but I think that bad actors (or sometimes incompetence without malice[1]) within the government is <i>intertwined</i> with what an &quot;angel&quot; is.<p>To not get bogged down on &quot;angel&quot;, let&#x27;s say we just consider if there&#x27;s a way for technology to create a backdoor that only works for the government but not non-government. Again, the answer would be no.<p>[1]such as the leaks of SSN, mothers maiden name, etc from OPM backround checks: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=opm+background+checks+leaked" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=opm+background+checks+leaked</a>

The interviewer controls the use of time, so don&#x27;t worry about imposing a burden. In my case, anyway, I&#x27;d rather have a fascinating technical conversation than ask my usual programming challenge and algorithm design questions, so your great question might seem more like a gift than a burden. I&#x27;m serious! With me, anyway, ask big questions like &quot;what should&#x2F;will HPC hardware and programming languages look like in 10 years?&quot; and then tell me why you think my answer is crazy.

There&#x27;s a specific reason why some called it fake: as adviced by others, Masarla ran the dd command to save the raw content of the disks, in case the recovery process screws up somehow.<p>He inverted the `if` and `of` arguments. You&#x27;d expect him to pay attention, after what happens. This doesn&#x27;t pass the smell test for some.<p>Then again, you&#x27;d also expect him to be <i>quite</i> stressed out. That does make that mistake a bit more likely.

One of the more fascinating aspects of human history is how much effort we&#x27;re willing to devote to creating varied senses of safety, even if that safety is only an illusion.<p>Now, we can call this a failure of design, but really, people who rely on technology they don&#x27;t understand can&#x27;t be saved by good design. Sure, this particular case could be fixed by disallowing the recursive flag on the file system root, but safety is never going to be able to be the primary design concern of any technological system.<p>Imagine if a sword were made safety as first-class concern. You can&#x27;t design a sword that can be used safely by the untrained. No weapon can be, training with a weapon is a prerequisite for safely using it. Similarly, every technology has to be understood by those using it. If you don&#x27;t you&#x27;re just inviting trouble.<p>For a business using technology, the needs are actually fairly straightforward. You need an understanding of what needs to be backed up, and a process for performing the backups. If you&#x27;ve picked the former right, (backing up human-readable information rather than data only readable by software programs that might go away in a crash) then risk is minimized.

I often see these precise points in code review arguments, by developers doing something &#x27;risky&#x27; in their code: &quot;It&#x27;s only risky if you don&#x27;t know what you&#x27;re doing.&quot;<p>Half the time the same developer has made a mistake in the same code.<p>With software being so complex, so full of human error -- almost any tool and practice that can help remedy this situation is welcome in my books.

Yeah, LTSE is how you can keep upgrading your kernel while staying on the LTS releases of Ubuntu. Granted you are limited to the kernel versions of the previously released Ubuntu version and there is a slight delay between when a new version is relased and when it becomes available to LTSE, but overall I have found the stability to be good.<p>From what I found out (if I remember correctly), I have great confidence that Thunderbolt docks should work well with Linux kernel 3.19+. But take this with a grain of salt since I ended up with the 13 DE and therefore only have a mDP and couldn&#x27;t try a Thunderbolt dock.

Definitely agree with you. Clearly, this is a tool that has the potential to make Python programming easier by adding functionality similar to what you can inherently get out of the box with a statically typed language + a good IDE. On the other hand, it also underscores Python&#x27;s deficiencies as a language. I used to love Python, and still do, but I would never use it for a large project of any substantial complexity since I&#x27;ve seen how tremendously useful static typing is both for writing code and, arguably more importantly, reading and analyzing existing code. A couple of huge advantages are very robust auto-completion, the ability to quickly and immediately jump to the source code of a given type, and finding references to a given type across the codebase without ambiguity. Kite gets you part of the way, but the nature of Python means it&#x27;ll never beat Java in these aspects.

...uh huh. I thought later about explicitly adding that. A device that can rapidly flick a power switch is also not a weapon. You can get that on amazon in the electronics section, and trivially add remote control.<p>Think of the people with home automation systems, where they can press a button on their phone to turn the lights on and off in their living room. You are saying that they have installed a weapon. That is crazy. It <i>could</i> damage their washing machine, but so could a 2-liter of soda.

I&#x27;ve been using Rust more and more for my personal projects. Frankly, I could not give a hoot about the memory management; it&#x27;s pretty cumbersome to deal with. What I love about Rust is that it&#x27;s a low overhead language that uses interfaces. I love interfaces! I honestly think that they&#x27;re the best way to program.

I think what the parent meant was that VSC (along with Atom, and to lesser extent SublimeText) is a good example of &quot;the middle way&quot; that is rapidly gaining popularity. First we had console editors, but they weren&#x27;t powerful enough, especially for newer languages&#x2F;frameworks. Then we had full IDEs (VS&#x2F;Eclipse&#x2F;IntelliJ), but they got to be slow and clunky. Now the trend is toward &quot;enhanced text editors&quot; (VSC&#x2F;Atom&#x2F;ST): editors that can have modular plugin functionality and interact with the console so you don&#x27;t lose any of its versatility. They&#x27;re usually faster and more lightweight than IDEs but keep most of what you need. The parent is saying that Eclipse was the flagship of &quot;Generation 2&quot; and VSC is for &quot;Generation 3&quot;<p>And remember, no one is saying you <i>have</i> to use these programs. Console editors and IDEs will still be here. This is another option for people who want it, which has turned out to be a lot of people.

I&#x27;m much more concerned with the obvious flaws of the system than I am with the &quot;concept&quot; of the system. I&#x27;m sure Keys would prefer not to trade sentences with e.g. the average drug &quot;offender&quot;, but I doubt he&#x27;d consider himself &quot;extremely lucky <i>and</i> extremely privileged&quot;. What could that even mean, for a person who shouldn&#x27;t have been incarcerated a day, convicted, with evidence circumstantial at best, of an act that shouldn&#x27;t even be a crime?

I have, and the biggest benefits for me have been:<p><pre><code> * Intellisense - this is *incredible*, and it works out of the box with VS Code * Git stuff is pointy-clicky integrated...this is a big time-saver for me, since I check stuff in just a few times a day, and I don&#x27;t have to think at all about git commands after writing a bunch of C#. I can click my way through instead. </code></pre> The interface is a lot more attractive to me than Emacs has ever been (or will ever be), and I really appreciate how easy on the eyes it is, both in terms of eye strain as well as a pleasant visual style.<p>I&#x27;m also pretty comfortable using a mouse--i.e. I don&#x27;t feel the need to keep my hands on the keyboard at all times--because, when it comes down to it, I spend a lot more time thinking than typing.

<i>Generics are literally a form of abstraction</i><p>Is your unstated assumption then that all forms of abstraction must be used? If you&#x27;ve done substantive projects, you&#x27;ll come to realize that abstractions have a cost, and that everything should be considered on a cost&#x2F;benefit basis.<p><i>You might as well be arguing that abstraction doesn&#x27;t help.</i><p>This is a black and white binary fallacy invoked to then create a straw man, which also seems to suggest that you haven&#x27;t learned the importance of considering cost&#x2F;benefit.<p><i>One of the best things about Go is it seems to be a strong signaler of the type of engineering team I avoided.</i><p>I would agree, this would seem to be a good signaler.

Nice! I like the aggregation into time blocks people tend to care about.<p>What&#x27;s the definition of the probability of precip you&#x27;re using? And how are you aggregating it? I ask because definitions can vary a lot and aggregation may not be straightforward.<p>Another thing to consider is how you interpret&#x2F;convey wind direction. Usually weather data sources provide the direction the wind is coming from. And people seem split on if the arrow should point to the origin or direction, depending on their background. It&#x27;s a shame there aren&#x27;t more characters like ⎋ (with the arrow going the other direction) to better represent origin&#x2F;direction.

My impression of Amazon is they care much more about selling product than the product itself, across all their lines of business. I see the complying without a fight because it would slow down the selling process and would prevent any hint of these searches from actually going on to the public if they did.

You have to work pretty hard to get code to a state such that compiler optimizations will save you.<p>I&#x27;ve had this same argument with cache management specialists. If you have to consider how the cache works for your product to work, you&#x27;re doing it wrong.

Seed potatoes are so inexpensive, it&#x27;s not worth using old potatoes (though I have done that many times).<p>I don&#x27;t know where you live, but around here supermarkets will soon be selling 5lb bags of seed potatoes at comically low prices. It is ridiculously cheap to grow some staples: I can buy 100 onion sets for $2.00&#x2F;bag at my local &quot;pricy&quot; feed store. Enough corn to plant an acre costs about $5, etc...

Unfortunately boxes are not so efficient :(<p>A box takes at least:<p>• 4 bytes to point to it, unless you need a big heap and OOP compression isn&#x27;t usable, in which case it&#x27;s 8 just on the pointer.<p>• Either 4 or 8 bytes of mark word, depending again on 32 vs 64 bit mode.<p>• Either 4 or 8 bytes of class pointer, ditto.<p>• Then another 4 or 8 bytes for the pointer inside the box.<p>• GC algorithms impose some additional overhead too.<p>That&#x27;s hoping there&#x27;s no alignment padding going on.<p>If the JVM supported real value types, then a lot of this overhead would boil away, but not always all of it.<p>When you use Option[] as a local variable or as a return type of a method, then HotSpot can sometimes optimise it out using escape analysis. Unfortunately the escape analysis in the C2 compiler is quite conservative and can often fail. The Graal compiler has a different design for its escape analysis and can remove the overhead a lot more often. Graal does show better speedups on Scala code than on Java code:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lampwww.epfl.ch&#x2F;~hmiller&#x2F;scala2013&#x2F;resources&#x2F;pdfs&#x2F;paper9.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lampwww.epfl.ch&#x2F;~hmiller&#x2F;scala2013&#x2F;resources&#x2F;pdfs&#x2F;pap...</a><p>(old paper)<p>The ability to nest optionalities is not something I&#x27;ve wanted to do so far, whereas the ability to freely represent optionality without having to worry about cost is quite freeing. I think Kotlin has the right tradeoff here, especially as in the rare cases where you do want the ability to represent Optional&lt;Optional&lt;T&gt;&gt; you can just use the Optional class from the Java 8 standard library to do so.

Indeed.

Agreed. I don&#x27;t see anything in VSCode that&#x27;s not present in any of the vast array of alternatives. But then again, I live in IntelliJ and Emacs land. I don&#x27;t mind Atom but don&#x27;t really use it for anything.<p>Light Table might deserve the term &quot;transformative&quot;, but I didn&#x27;t find it usable enough to rely on.

I think it&#x27;s primarily health &amp; age. It&#x27;s less taxing to take shots outside than to try to drive up to much bigger, younger players constantly.<p>I&#x27;d also say that as he got older, his athletic ability declined (injuries and age), so in order to continue getting points, he needed to attempt more shots.

I use both VS Code and Vim very heavily every day and, honestly, there aren&#x27;t really any gains <i>or</i> losses when switching between the two.<p>I use VS Code when I&#x27;m working in one codebase because it has a nice tree view of the files and has a pretty nice &quot;working files&quot; feature where you can easily switch between files you&#x27;re working on (I usually have five or six files I&#x27;m working on at any given time; sometimes in Vim I&#x27;ll open them all up in a terminal multiplexer and switch between them, but that can end up frying my brain). Seeing the tree structure just helps me visualize the codebase better. VS Code also has a really nice search feature that searches through every file in the folder you have open (I <i>could</i> just grep but it&#x27;s convenient to click on a result and go straight to the line in that file)<p>Git integration in VS Code is pretty sweet as well; it has a really nice diff viewer built-in and it&#x27;s easy enough to add and commit changes (I still use the git cli for branching, rebasing, etc.)<p>I use Vim whenever I&#x27;m in a terminal to edit various files here and there. I feel a little faster in Vim when working on one file, and I do like a lot of the shortcuts&#x2F;commands a lot better in Vim. Vim also has much better find&#x2F;replace with regex, and it&#x27;s a lot easier to extend Vim.<p>I guess what I&#x27;m trying to say is that I don&#x27;t see VS Code as a full-on replacement for Vim, but a different tool that I use in a different way.

Similarly, I saw&#x2F;read an interview with Hall-of-Fame point guard Isiah Thomas where he was asked why he always took the big shots in the critical moments.<p>(IIRC He didn&#x27;t mention the obvious, that he was the best player on the team.) He said it was because he practiced the most, which was plausible, and because he could miss the shot. He said for if some players miss that shot, it crushes them; they don&#x27;t recover. He could take it, miss it, and take it again the next day without it affecting his focus.<p>He made a few of those shots and led his team to two NBA titles. The first one was the year after he threw away a pass and the game in the playoffs, an unforced error that cost his team their first trip to the NBA Championship:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VNpJXDPnQTE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VNpJXDPnQTE</a>

&gt;I think one of the biggest reasons people don&#x27;t give themselves a work-life balance is peer pressure and the desire to please others first.<p>This is the root of the issue in my opinion. When I fail to achieve work&#x2F;life balance, it is usually due to one of two things:<p>1. To please my direct co-workers, manager, CEO. 2. To please everyone else — that is, make enough to live the way I envision other people expect me to be living, and doing the things I imagine them expecting me to be doing.<p>Living for even the imagined expectations of others can take a heavy toll. It took time to unlearn that way of thinking.

Testing support is basic and, when we started, there were no clear best practices - so we published how we organized our repo.<p>The `@test foo` command basically raises an exception if the result is false. You have to manually register all of the tests and call them individually. setUp and tearDown has to be done manually. The testing library keeps no data about how many tests were run - it just throws an exception if an `@test` encounters a false.<p>It works, but there is no sophistication.

I have moved part-time from vim to vscode, for Go work.<p>Some reasons:<p>- Having the full type info for every single thing in the code with simply hovering over it (not just when typing)<p>- Ability to &quot;peak at definition&quot;, to get a little interspersed window with the definition of functions etc, embedded right into your editor.<p>- Out-of-the box file tree with single click opening, and window management (I use a lot of powerful vim commands, but window management just was too much for my head).<p>- Maybe something more I&#x27;ve forgot.<p>In general, the out-of-the box experience is so much greater than vim. I know you can replicate most of the above with a super-fancy setup, but I just don&#x27;t find the time to get my head around much more than <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fatih&#x2F;vim-go" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fatih&#x2F;vim-go</a> and a few personal .vimrc tweaks.<p>Now as others have mentioned, I just hope for a more feature-complete vim-mode in VSCode.

Kotlin relies quite heavily on bytecode level method inlining, for instance.<p>The advantage is that it makes code written in a functional style effectively free (well, almost, unless you could gain performance from step fusion). The disadvantage is that the JVM wasn&#x27;t designed for that and it messes up stack traces.

What I&#x27;m taking issue with is the description of VSC as &quot;changing the way we code on Unix&#x2F;Linux&quot;. Given your interpretation, Atom and SublimeText and other tools predate VSC and fill much the same role. So I don&#x27;t see VSC as being transformative in that way. That&#x27;s not to say it might not be a nice tool, but it&#x27;s not a revolution either.

Ummm, no. VS Code is a decent editor, nothing more. It certainly doesn&#x27;t transform the way code is written on Unix&#x2F;Linux.<p>Vim and Emacs are still superior if you want to put the time in, and both have non-terminal interfaces. They can also be both customized to be whatever you want them to be, there&#x27;s not really a limit to their functionality except what plugins are already written. Ditto for Atom, though of course, it does seem to be more web based for the moment (though Atom does have great plugins for Go, Nim, and I&#x27;m sure a bunch of other languages).<p>In the grand scheme of things, tools like compilers, debuggers, interpreters, other command line tools (like completion servers), etc..., matter more than editors anyway.<p>Edit - for the record, VS Code seems great. But it&#x27;s not revolutionary.

There is no way this key is not already in someone&#x27;s hands who is not supposed to have it. There is no way it wasn&#x27;t leaked, stolen, misplaced, or sold (for probably a ton of money).<p>Who is going to trust Blackberry now? Even as a BB Enterprise customer, I&#x27;d be scrambling right now to change my system immediately. This is exactly what I expect will happen to the whole industry if idiotic bills like the one currently proposed by Senator Feinstein make it through. No sane, security-minded person will want to use any of these products. And there certainly is no shortage of foreign competition. But it&#x27;s all worth it to calm down the cowardly masses who are afraid of terrorism or whatever the fear of the day might be, right?

Isn&#x27;t this based on Atom (or at least similar design)? It really makes me sad that people are making editors with so many features and nice things, but ignoring the fundamentals like latency.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pavelfatin.com&#x2F;typing-with-pleasure&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pavelfatin.com&#x2F;typing-with-pleasure&#x2F;</a><p>I&#x27;m eagerly awaiting a mac version of 4coder (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.4coder.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.4coder.net&#x2F;</a>).

He should&#x27;ve put left_pad.py in a folder with an __init__.py to make it a proper package ;)

I mean, I would argue that last night is an outlier. The game plan was to give the ball to Kobe, they wanted him to shoot.<p>Look at his career and I think it&#x27;s a different story.

Git is essentially a Merkle DAG, thus a single reference to the root object suffices.<p>Also collisions are only practical with large amounts of padding which would be visible. That&#x27;s why nobody really cares too much about them for source control systems.

A Basic Income based on need is called a welfare system, and requires gatekeepers to determine neediness. We have various such systems in the US.<p>Any time you here someone say &quot;basic income&quot;, they mean a guaranteed, zero qualifications beyond citizenship and possibly adulthood, income. It is meant as a replacement for many aspects of the welfare system.<p>It is true, since humans are bad at making many financial&#x2F;health&#x2F;welfare decisions, that not all public welfare costs are a good fit for replacement with a BI. But things like food stamps, disability income and section 8 housing all do appear to be good fits.

&gt; What changes here is that if you deployed SSH&#x2F;TLS using a HSM (Hardware security module), you&#x27;d need to be prepared to provide a plaintext stream upon a court order. Obviously, the alternative is to choose the non-HSM route which is, and has always been, vulnerable to subpoena.<p>Forgive me if I&#x27;m wrong, but doesn&#x27;t SSH always use a Diffie-Hellman key agreement, where the keys are destroyed after their use? No subpoena has the power to recover keys destroyed in the past, even if no HSM had been used. The same applies to modern TLS using DHE or ECDHE suites, and AFAIK the current TLS 1.3 proposal allows only these suites.<p>They might be able to subpoena the authentication keys, but these are useless to recover the ephemeral keys of past connections (except from older TLS cipher suites which didn&#x27;t use DHE&#x2F;ECDHE), and even for future connections they would have to be used with an active attack.

Better to start up a new party with a clever nerd name--like Bitwise Party, or Breakpoint Party, or similar--and run its own candidates. The automate the hell out of political party organization. Make running for office as easy as registering a new domain name.<p>But that will probably never happen, because forming and operating a political party is too much like joining a union with its own PAC. And also, third parties don&#x27;t count for much in the US.

It&#x27;s not mentioned in the post, but 1.8 also includes support for installing additional versions of the stdlib for other targets using rustup&#x2F;multirust[1], which is huge for cross compilation:<p><pre><code> $ rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl info: downloading component &#x27;rust-std&#x27; for &#x27;x86_64-unknown-linux-musl&#x27; 13.77 MiB &#x2F; 13.77 MiB (100.00%) 1.47 MiB&#x2F;s ETA: 0s info: installing component &#x27;rust-std&#x27; for &#x27;x86_64-unknown-linux-musl&#x27; </code></pre> Which allows:<p><pre><code> $ cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl </code></pre> You can get a list of available targets with `rustc --print target-list`.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rustup.rs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rustup.rs&#x2F;</a>

Kobe Bryant being integral to the Laker&#x27;s success is absolutely correct. The Laker&#x27;s made the strategic decision to structure everything around him and it worked well. No doubt that would have failed with a less talented individual.<p>However, it is important to view his accomplishments in that light. He scored 40+ points in games because the team basically said &quot;Let&#x27;s have Kobe score 40+ points today&quot;. Because of that, his absolute point totals aren&#x27;t great markers for individual talent.

Anecdotally, I would say 30% positive, 30% total loss, and 30-40% somewhere in between. Fund returns will definitely be biased towards the top 1-10%, like in any lottery system.

why do you prefer using tmux to edit multiple files vs using vim to edit multiple files in vim tabs?

The main difference versus IDEs is that everything we show is informed by all the public code we&#x27;ve collected from the web. So e.g. there are a ton of arguments to matplotlib.plot and IDEs can show you them all ranked alphabetically, whereas we can show you common patterns of how people actually use matplotlib.plot in practice, which is often far more useful. (We&#x27;ll show you the docs, too.)<p>Another example is if you type &quot;load(&#x27;abc.json&#x27;)&quot; without having imported json: there are hundreds of python packages that define a function called &quot;load&quot;, but &quot;json&quot; and &quot;simplejson&quot; are by _far_ the most widely used, so we can suggest that you &quot;from json import load&quot;. That&#x27;s something you can&#x27;t do unless you have a good model of a lot of real-world code.
