Following the law isn't black and white. I'm sure each of us as individuals broke the several times today without even knowing it.

The paper that was linked suggests using derivatives rather than directly taking out loans, which are financially convertible. Specifically it says buying deeply ITM call options for several years out strike date.

I've use Go's context based cancellation, and while I like the paradigm, it's kind of verbose. There are some that say that since it has to be passed everywhere, and can store values, it's equal to Goroutine-local stor

As another surprising thing, calling interrupted() actually clears the interrupted bit. If it's true, you pretty much have to throw InterruptedException. Otherwise, you have to re set the bit, and exit quietly.

This is on purpose. If the number of support people is a linear function of the number of users, the business cannot grow past half the worlds population.

This is what you get when you don't have a top-down management style. Teams are given too much freedom, leading to inconsistency. No one has the whole vision of how a product should work. Even if they did have that, they likely don&

Large transfer's wouldn't be the place where the effect would be noticeable, it would be JSON payloads that can fit in a few packets. If operators would do this seldomly enough to not be noticed, why do they need the bit at all?

Realistically, are network operators going to add artificial delay to packets going through their network? If they don't get their bit, and they start slowing down communication, it would seem like market correction would solve it.

If you give an engineer a bit: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/quic/yQfBIAOnUEKIWjZhF... You can kind of see how this might get out of hand and cause the discuss to digress and go in circles.

Dissenting opinion: I think the blocky version looks better when not zoomed in. The sample on the left is less smoothed, and doesn't look as airbrushed. It looks better when zoomed in, but not when are regular zoom.

It will change as SF's credit goes down the tubes. Unlike the federal government, there is a chance that SF could default on its loans. If they can't get a loan and they squeeze the rich out of the city, there won't be any

If getting off the plane early while it's on the ground is valuable, why not charge for it? That way people who really do want to get off can? It's hard to say that deboarding early is a right, because that would imply your ri

That could be fixed though. If the Airline let the luggage go the final destination, they could charge (maybe $100) to return the luggage once it arrives at the destination. This would also decentivise people from trying to deboard unles

For the record, the reason grpc uses trailers is because it uses http/2, not the other way around. It was expected that since the whole transport was completely new, adopters of http/2 would add trailer support. As it turns out

All core grpc libraries support bidirectional streaming. It's the "routeguide" example.

Finally! Up until now, when people ask how they are supposed to proxy grpc traffic, we could only recommend Envoy. Pretty much no one wants to hear that they have to change their stack to use new technology. Since a large part of the

Isn't line breaking an NP complete problem, akin to bin packing? I seem to recall hearing a presentation about it in the context of autoformatters for code. For example, Auto formatting Java code, which is typically verbose, relies

It's hard to tell ahead of time if performance matters. When you hack something out, and are able to get it to work, it inevitably starts to grow features. At some point (around 1000 lines in my experience), Python no longer is fast

FWIW, the primary maintainer of grpc-go left the team and it was passed on to a new maintainer. The new maintainer inherited the mess. Not justifying the project or anything, but I think that's why. Look at the Github top contribu

The problem with web is that browsers don't expose trailers. gRPC depends on having trailers to know if the RPC succeeded or failed, but neither Chrome nor Firefox, nor any other browsers surface this information. If this was exposed
