I switched to ffmpegging my gifs a year ago and haven't looked back. It's a bit annoying to begin with but now so much easier than using some 3rd rate program or having to upload everything to EZGif. It's worth the pain!
I saw a picture on Reddit of a wall stacked high with 3060’s. In the comments, the poster mentioned he placed a bulk order, the downside was it took a while.
You seem to be hinting to Chesterton's fence [0].

Is "plenty of things" enough to post a link to some? Do you practice any of these things? Otherwise, your comment does not add much to the discussion (and hence the down votes, I think).
The GPL/LGPL difference is that the LGPL makes a distinction between merely using a library, and modifying the library itself. Modifications to the library itself have to be released under the same (LGPL) license. Merely using the library has permissive terms, more BSD-style.

So, for example, you can write an application using the LGPL'd Qt or GTK widget toolkits, and license your application however you want. But if you start modifying the GTK source code to build your own new-and-improved GTK, you have to release your new-and-improved GTK under the LGPL (but still don't have to release the source to any applications you build on top of it).

The GPL doesn't make a distinction like that, and requires that any code that incorporates GPL'd code be also GPL'd.

Don't see this happening any time soon. As long as piracy is easier than purchasing (and viewing) content it will happen at a massive scale.
This is a really interesting question, and got me thinking - maybe google's brutal interview process has a secondary purpose - to increase the allure of working at google?

This reminds me of a business case I read once about the difference between Mac Donalds and Burger King. That Mac Donalds uses a batch processing method that is faster but requires a higher skill level, whereas BK uses an assembly line, and that this affects their advertising. MacD's ads often double as recruiting ads, whereas BK tends to emphasize "have it your way" (easier to customize when you make burgers one at a time).

Maybe Google wants to interview more people than necessary, and subject them to an interview that leaves them thinking "man, you need to be at the top of your game to work there!" as a way of increasing the prestige of working there (and perhaps getting more top applicants?)

The thing is, I don't really see why this strategy would apply more to google than apple (unlike the MD vs BK thing...)

One thing is sure - devs are all aware of google's notorious interview process, but we (well, I should really just speak for myself, so I) never really hear these stories about apple.
The problem is, a lot of the time I don't want my various internet IDs linked together - I want something more like the coffee club loyalty card for each website I visit. I definitely don't want facebook knowing which sites I use (frankly I don't trust them enough) and I'm not too keen on Google knowing either.

The crucial difference between a drivers license and some kind of centralised internet ID is that anyone can verify a drivers licence with a reasonable degree of accuracy - they don't need to contact the government each time to see if it's genuine.

With an internet ID the provider gets to collect a lot of information about me and what I'm doing (not saying they would, just saying they could), which makes me nervous.
here is a short list of topics that are helpful to understand:

threat modeling/analysis, cross site scripting, sql injection, session hijacking, database security/permissions, firewalls, intrusion detection, keeping system software up to date.
And we also do the science ourselves by trying it and sharing our observations, as you did. Thanks for the link, and I hope it works for me!

Edit: oh, and I said pretty much the same thing as you just did in another of my replies[1]. Maybe I didn't put enough disclaimers in my original post?

I would assume that google, or any other similar data aggregation company, would log and keep statistics and summary information, but discard actual raw data. They do have some of the biggest storage capabilities, but thats no reason to fill it full of apache logs.
> the obvious way to achieve it is less transfer payments from the middle class to the poor

This is an oft-touted talking point, but not actually correct. If you add up all the numbers, most social welfare in the West proportionally goes to pensions and healthcare. Poverty relief is usually a smaller budget than corporate welfare. This article (0) shows the distribution for the US.

Additionally, part of US social welfare specifically enables companies like Walmart to get away with not paying their employees a living wage, so is de facto corporate - not social - welfare. In short: thinking of it in terms of "the poor are the problem" only helps hide the wealth transfer from the middle class to the upper class.

There is no way for the middle class to have more money while keeping the wealth for the upper class constant, because the system already trickles up middle class wealth. At some point, we should be expecting companies to pay their dues and change rules to make them: corporation tax, liveable wages, overtime compensation, emissions, pollution, workplace safety and perhaps even off time caused by burnout.

MSB meets Bezos and gives him a video that installs spyware into his smartphone.

MSB taunts Bezos about his extramarital affair before it's widely known. Then his affair is leaked to the press. Bezos thinks MSB might be involved in the process that led to revealing the information.

MSB kills one of Bezos's employers. Bezos flies Turkey to meet his fiancee and wows to help.

What I see in those photos are Muslims, Jews and Gays, even Arabs and Iranians getting along ... all because their greed trumps their mutual hostility! Go capitalism?!

Otherwise this is the face of Globalism, and to the extent there is 1) Massive international trade with any amount of 2) Trade deficits in countries where there is 3) Big concentration of wealth or power (most of the world) - then this is going to happen.

The MBS issue specifically is not easy to contemplate, it cannot be avoided.

Because it causes them to loose (hopefully) any idea that they get anything out of being honest, except shafted.
First of all, you seem to be ignoring China's wars with India and Vietnam, the Chinese attempt to overthrow the government of Malaysia, territorial claims to Taiwan (and a dozen smaller chunks of land), their continuing support of North Korea, as well as their explicit program of population dilution going on in Tibet and Xinjiang.

Anyhow, imperial ambitions grow with capacity. For now, China asserts itself in its "backyard" (and Africa -- check out the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation). Chinese reach will almost certainly extend if their military competition dwindles.

Yes, but my point is that Ginny was not going after her when she was still rooting for 'her' team, probably for all the wrong reasons as well.

I've be very scared of a web startup that chose Java over Python or Ruby. Why subject yourself to Java? RoR and Django are both solid platforms (among others).
Probably not more energy. Way more space though. Order of magnitude, at least.

For example, sustainably raised beef winds up needing a bunch of pastureland to rotate through, so that they don't overgraze any one section of grass. Feedlots cram them in and feed them corn or some other grain crop that's had it's own huge energy input.

Poultry needs the same sort of thing, or they will scratch their grass down to mud right quick. Most of the cage-free/free range criteria stop in the 5 sqft/bird range, but they need 10x that to not destroy the ground, if they're not moved every few days. (incidentally, vegetarian feed for chickens is good (hey, it won't contain other chickens), but chickens are _not_ vegetarians. They love bugs. Happiness is a flock of chickens and an ant hill.)

The problem I've had with the RFPs I've responded to in this regard is that training may or may not be accounted for in the original RFP and if you try to increase your bid to accommodate the knowledge transfer sessions and especially the three to four that you have to schedule eventually because the people you need to train are all on PTO for three weeks at a time all for critical stakeholders.

This is a difference in understanding of definitions.

This /is/ market failure by the normal definition of market failure in the academic discipline of economics. It's not poetry. National Defence is an example of market failure. Any monopoly, eg, drinking water distribution, is an example of market failure. There is no economy anywhere on earth at any time through history up until now that has not had market failure as a feature of that economy. Not the only feature. I would say not even the major feature of the well functioning ones at least but everyone has it and tries to deal with. Is the cure worse than the disease? Is there a better cure, maybe even no cure. Most actual policy discussion in any newspaper is a discussion of just that.

Market failure is a very normal thing. What /I/ don't want is intervention where there is no market failure. What I don't want is regulation for the sake of regulation (or the sake of regulatory capture by the incumbant(s), or the sake of empire building by some public servant(s) or some witch hunt to win politcal favor at the ballot or whatever else on those lines). Regulation is the only sane response to market failure and has been since literally forever. See national defence.

Damn, that is a great guess that is so close it hurts: you've made me confident that I'm mis-remembering enough to think I'm actually talking about the FireEagle launch event. The Pipes demo was a different session, possibly a year or two earlier.

Either way, the person I am doing a laughably poor job of describing was at the FireEagle event but I definitely remember him being a peer/coworker of Tom's - he wasn't the center of attention that day.

I put the smiley there because just the other day I was defending systemd on a different HN discussion as a perfectly usable piece of software.

Anywhere you have an .await in async code you could have a checkpoint in a thread that allows for cancellation. That's the main cancellation advantage - that the author is forced to write those to consume other async functions.

> how come there's no slack in the system? What ate it?

The lack of market pressure allowed the quantity of unnecessary/unwanted services to expand as the quality decreased (because people are still forced to pay for a failing educational system, bad teachers are shielded from accountability, and anyone who wants to pay for private education must pay twice).

> Answer: market pressures.

If you don't respond to the market telling you that you cost too much and provide too little, you shouldn't be surprised when you're unable to produce what you consume on the market and become dependent on additional assistance.

> Not some elites thinking a dumber populace is easier to control and wishing a weaker educational system into existence.

Can you provide some source substantiating your denial of this historical assertion?

> Free market is good at optimizing for behaviors that yield immediate, short-term profit. Good education is very hard to price, with profits following the actions by many decades.

Free market is also good at optimizing for means of production that deliver commodities and goods over the long term. The limitation is that the owner of the capital must have a long term vision he wishes to accomplish with his capital. Coercive systems decouple the vision-seer from the capital-owner by permitting the vision-seer to realize his vision by expropriating the necessary resources from individuals who do not share that vision. This replaces the impediment of needing a coincidence of capital and vision with the perverse incentives and moral hazards associated with expropriation.

> I fully expect that making education governed by the market directly would make it settle on even stranger proxies in lieu of delivering proper education.

Only as far as the people paying for the education approved those proxy results.

> free market for commodity labor doesn't equal happy labor, but rather unhappy labor living on minimum wage.

a free market wouldn't have a minimum wage by definition.

I haven't been following this story very closely. Was each and every organization individually targeted after the SolarWinds compromise was in place, or was it sort of opportunistic and automated, where the SolarWinds compromise phoned home and most of the 250 orgs just got automated/scripted escalation and exfiltration, and only a few orgs got personal attention?

the problem is that DS/Algos interview questions, besides deep in low level programming, have little relevance in real life work scenarios. The only thing of value that my formal CS education gave me in respect to my day to day, really is the ability to problem solve.

Also, the reverse can be said about this - that individuals who had a more formal CS education are feeling bitter that more and more people are starting to realize that their time spent in "coding challenges" prove to be of low value in their work, so they keep hammering them in the only place they can - interviews.

Yes I exaggerate slightly. But I wonder a lot about the quality of this data. Doesn't about half the country still work on farms? Low-tech farming has endless labor for all kinds of hands, but little paperwork.
I think your description is more accurate.

A Task is an individual unit of work: a container, executable, JVM app, etc.

A Task Group/Allocation is a group of Tasks that will be placed together on nodes as a unit.

A Job is a collection of Task Groups and is where you tell Nomad how to schedule the work. A "system" Job is scheduled across all Nodes somewhat like a DaemonSet. A "batch" Job can be submitted as a one-off execution, periodic (run on a schedule) or parameterized (run on demand with variables specified at runtime). A "service" Job is the "normal" scheduler where all Task Groups are treated like ReplicaSets.

Placement is determined by constraints that can be specified on each Task Group.

> The sperm enters the egg, not the other way around.

I think this is wrong. My understanding is that the sperm cell membrane fuses with the egg cell membrane, forming a single container. The haploid nucleus of the sperm and the haploid nucleus of the egg then fuse. This processes is by no means fully symmetric (the egg has a tough coating on its cell membrane that must be dissolved by the sperm through the Acrosome reaction), but there is also no time when the sperm cell (delineated by its membrane) is inside the egg cell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrosome_reaction

My point was not that there aren't many correlated asymmetries between eggs and sperm in particular parts of the phylogenetic tree (like mammals) that can be used for distinguishing them. My point was that there seems to be no fundamental asymmetry that applies to all two-sex sexually reproducing organisms; rather, there is a continuum of degree of gamete dimorphism that ends at organisms where there is no principled distinction between sperm and egg (isogamy).

I agree. It is hard to use, but if you keep up with it, it is better than Mixpanel in many ways. For instance, it doesn't load your users with massive cookies that slow the site down, particurarly on mobile browsers. The latest GA session cookie is very clean.

I have seen many sites that would be strong and useful in the SERPS, but are trashed because they think they need to collect analytics from 6 different services. I have brought most of my A/B testing server side, because the site loads so fast, the A/B flicker affects the A/B test results.
