I wish this old legend would die already. It's not even perf/grad season.

When a border or name is disputed, this is shown with the "given names" in the countries on each side of the dispute, and with both names (one in brackets) everywhere else.

I read so many similar stories and I'm still shocked.

It took 8 months from my first acute back pain problems to the diagnostic.

Ok, they have the trademark, but how does it give them the permission to reuse or copy the original game assets, designs, etc?

That's not my experience.

First, there are two SRE ladders: SRE-SWE and SRE-SysEng. SRE-SWE have the same interviews and hiring bar as SWEs. SysEng have less coding interviews but I think the interview questions are more practical and less algorithm oriented.

Still, SREs are subject to the same rules and policies as SWEs when it comes to submitting code.

And in the end, I don't see why using python on some projects would be a bad engineering practice

Very little at the scale of this codebase is still a lot.

From where I sit (SRE), I see a lot of Python which is very much mission critical.

I believe it also depends on your location. I only see sponsored tiles when traveling in some countries.

The reason is quite simple: why spend engineering headcount on a less successful product?

> Some wouldn't have been viable, sure. Others were probably too ingrained in Google's hardware/software ecosystem to be separated out (although I wonder if nowadays everything Google runs on its cloud offering, which would make it simpler, just change the billing).

Google Cloud is built on top of Google's tech ecosystem, not the other way around.

Google must diversify its source of revenue, that's the purpose of hardware, Cloud, Youtube premium and others. It is also why they sell access to APIs.

This is not bard.

Yes, the later is what Nolan avoids.

But when he says "the movie is done without CGI shots", he can't ignore that most people will assume the movie is also made without digital editing and compositing.

In the first case, she's mentioning descriptors to make the same point as for "this" with javascript: you can bind a set of related data to a function.

Exposing "descriptors" is a latter thing, but their default implementation was already a thing before they were visible to python users.

I have zero sympathy for Macron, but the article seems to miss an important aspect: it was mentioned in front of ~200 mayors of cities where the riots are happening.

I believe he said this to satisfy his audience, and maybe to try to put pressure on social media so that they cooperate with authorities (to identify leaders and/or limit coordination between rioters).

It's bad because he's still pushing the overton window to the right, pretending this is OK for a the leader of a democracy to consider this. But I don't think they are seriously thinking about cutting social media.

I've seen a lot of critics complaining about using direction technique (editing, music, etc) to make audience cry, as if only the story, screenplay and acting is pure enough to be allowed to trigger these emotions.

On the other hand, no problem for triggering laughs. It's actually the reverse: you need good direction and good editing (because rhythm matters a lot) to make a joke impactful.

I've never really understood that. Is it shameful to be emotionally affected by a movie, even if you don't really like all of it?

I've seen that a lot about Spielberg movies, and more recently with J.A. Bayona (in particular with The Impossible and A Monster calls).
