Or is it your confirmation bias where you expect people to distrust Facebook for the wrong reasons so that you can post that link?

Because funnily enough, I didn't place blame in my comment. I just pointed out my 'annoyance'. You, on the other hand, concluded something from that. Ironically.
> Which phones can I buy to enjoy the freedom of general-purpose computing (and not suffer from non-mature ecosystem)?

Does Libram not count? Why do you get to also demand a mature ecosystem? This feels like demanding that corporations build a product specifically because you want it. There are precious few markets where we demand that businesses provide a product that the market wouldn't naturally demand, and I personally don't think that a general purpose computing phone should be one of those.

This whole discussion also feels a bit disingenuous now that you've brought up FLOSS, since Android has never really satisfied FLOSS-advocate goals. So why would it matter to you if exec privileges are changed?
doesn't whatsapp use Google play services? that's how you normally do push notification on android
>Maybe I should be more specific, there seems to be a failure to adopt Async in the Python community and major packages at large.

Why would they adopt it? It's just another tool Python offers, not the "new way to do all the things".
Microprocessor implies micrometer scale. I highly doubt that valves like that would work if scaled down to that size.
You mentioned performance/watt - in user terms, battery life is a huge advantage of this hardware. The official specs of the 13" MBP are 17 hours of web browsing, 20 hours of video playback.

I assume it won't be as long in Linux but it'll still be longer than a lightweight and high performance x86 laptop.
Absolutely.

He only became CEO in 2015. His handling of the Max crashes was shameful, but you can't blame him for Boeing's long-term strategy faults.
Apple TV is a platform-locking choice. I have an iPhone now, but most of my devices aren't Apple. Rokus pretty happily stream and interact well with iPhones, Androids, and Windows computers without issue. To me, the fact that Roku both operates well and has wide independent app support and also can be mirrored to from nearly any device is a almost completely unmatched feature set.

Even if Roku doesn't have my app yet, as long as one device I have it on does, I'm good. Whereas I stumble over if my iPhone can mirror to my LG webOS TV (it can't), for example, and I have to break out a Windows PC just to mirror a show on an app it doesn't have.

With regards to HBO Max, that was a contract dispute over advertising share. Roku has had the existing HBO app for a long time.
Probably more like half a century.
I usually see Vulture Capitalism used more in reference to PE, where mature but distressed firms are purchased, with a focus on "cutting costs," and then chopped up and resold after being ravaged. Venture capital, on the other hand, is almost the opposite, as it cares little about costs in the pursuit of growth by any means possible.

>randomly making a deliberately terrible move every now and then.

To be fair though, that is kind of how I end up playing chess. I'll do pretty well and pay attention, then I end up losing track, making a stupid mistake and doing something that should have been obviously bad and losing.
I'm evaluating using AWS App Mesh at the moment. We're a really small team so we're choosing Fargate vs Kubernetes- mainly because we don't have need of nodes nor want to deal with them.

The appeal of App Mesh for us was initially around using it to facilitate canary deployments. AWS Code Deploy does a nice job with Blue / Green deployments and that may suffice for us, but it doesn't support canary for Fargate. Is that enough reason to add the additional complexity in our stack? Not sure, looking for input.

Also, much of the documentation is focused on K8s. I'm murky on how to implement an internal namespace for routing. Most of what I've seen is like myenv.myservice.svc.cluster.local but its not clear to me that using that pattern is needed in the context of Fargate.

Consistent observability is valuable, but again Fargate can do that pretty well- it just doesn't mandate access logging so that would be left to the app itself.

We want to implement OIDC on the edge for some services, but App Mesh doesn't support that yet as other meshes like Ambassador, Gloo, and Istio seem to. Since App Mesh doesn't really act as a front-proxy on AWS, we'll still be using ALB to handle auth which is fine, I think. I get mixed messages about the need for JWT validation, but if so, that would need to be implemented in the app level with ALB fronting it.

Can anybody help me find resources to sort this out? I've been through the `color-teller` example time and time again, but it still leaves lots of open questions about how to structure a larger project and handle deployments effectively.
Unfortunately, no. My company doesn't have part-time positions for software engineers right now. I would have to quit my current job anyway.
And I don't want to quit, since it's a big opportunity and I know working there not only enriches my résumé, but also because I'm learning a lot every day.
It's not as much about load as it is about complexity; it starts to make sense when you hit some threshold number of internal services, regardless of the amount of traffic you're doing. You use a service mesh to factor out network policy and observability from your services into a common layer.
Do you not understand how what’s going on in the editorial section colors peoples’ views of whether they can trust the paper?
No.

I can guarantee you that in general in software engineering, you will produce the same result, whether you work 30 or 40 or 60 hr a week. The productive hours will be the same as you just have so much focused hours inside of you.

I have this strange sense of aversion to Periscope, even though I know it's not logical.

It feels to me like Meerkat was a cool thing built by a bunch of my friends that took off, and then the big blood-sucking corporation (Twitter) tried to rip it off and make some money (even though that's not accurate).

That probably stems from this conversation between Ben (the co-founder of Meerkat), and someone who was building something similar: http://austenallred.com/assets/ph-ben.png

> Pete: "I was working on the exact same app... kind of depressed right now. :("

> Ben: "PETE! What makes you think you're not capable of doing something better/different? It would be a very sad world if people just gave up on ideas. I can tell you that the live video space is still broken in terms of the distribution mechanism, and that obviously Meerkat is not perfect. There's a very good chance that anyone in the world could come up with a better product/perspective. Please, go back to code. That's how we'll all build things better together, even though we'll all work separately - we learn from each other."

How can you not fall in love with that product/company?
In my area most restaurants with table service don't have an easy way to do tap-to-pay (a few chains have something at the table for you to pay at that supports it). Also two of my most common retailers do not (Kroger and Home Depot). Very few gas stations support it, though the one closest to me recently added it.
ethanks says: What you are seeing is called "greed" on the part of all parties involved.

I mean the Stoics were no strangers to dying kids, dead kids were very much something that happened in the past. Kids surviving into adulthood by default is a consequence of modern medicine, and I'm not sure we're happier for it.

The modern notion that life is supposed to be in a certain way is a big factor. There's a narrative that we' supposed to get married in our twenties, have kids, retire after a long career (a journey ending in management), then die of a heart attack at 72.

A lot of people torment themselves by telling themselves that this is what their life should be.
Reads like a real reddit post from 2009
Really interesting post. I actually worked with a guy that would just get really quiet when someone wasn't saying what he wanted them to say, or would throw in short questions like "why?" or "how's that?" to incite some sort of need for approval in the other person.

I gotta say, it's manipulation at its finest.
AMD is also moving towards proprietary interconnects for their add-on cards that provide higher performance links than their competitors are allowed to use. And they won't license them to their competitors of course - it's a "set bonus" if you buy all AMD. It's funny because people were panicking about Intel doing exactly that, and when AMD does it, crickets.

They also have moved to locking their CPUs to the motherboards, to restrict second-hand sales of surplus CPUs/etc. So far it's only locked to the brand, so you can put it in any Dell system but only a dell system, but it's still sufficient to cause a huge amount of headaches for the surplus sector. I was looking at some cheap Epyc 7402Ps on ebay until I saw... "locked to dell, only runs on Dell". Welp. And the other cheap listing, is that one locked too? Who knows, and that's the point AMD is going for, they just have to inject enough uncertainty to change consumer behavior. Most people aren't going to be willing to trace the provenance of a used CPU, they will just pay 20% more for a new one. A limited number will be sold as complete systems, but as the market shrinks and people stop considering secondhand purchases, eventually they will just be thrown in the trash. Mission accomplished.

And that's coming for consumer CPUs too. It's already here for AMD's "ryzen pro" desktop line, it won't be long until it hits walmart prebuilts too.
Development requires demand. You can't just build houses willy nilly and then have them sit empty, because then nobody is paying the property taxes and the infrastructure that was built for those empty houses requires maintenance.

So, while there may be plenty of land on which _to_ develop, they can only develop at a certain rate commensurate with demand, otherwise they'll build too much, property values will fall, and subsequently tax receipts will fall.

So, they need to build just enough to keep up with demand, and ahead of their infrastructure costs, but not too much.
Hmm, which is now been deleted.

What he said is logical. In order to not lose weight while doing those activities, he needs to eat more calories than if he was not doing those activities. In other words, people who are active eat more. If you want to eat less, you need to be less active.

If you see exercise as a chore, then no, it wouldn't be worth it. I don't see exercise as a chore, and I am a fit 200 pounds.

I train four days a week in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. In order to get up to a fit 200 pounds, I've done a lot of strength training over the years, but I enjoy strength training.

That's what I think about when I hear people complaining about gatekeeping in our field. The books are open, the courses are there, interesting and useful applications abound. Given the same level of effort I think much of the difference between social groups would vanish.

What makes ruby worth using for a game that makes this worth paying for over any other free, oss or commercial game engine with more flexibility in language and capability?

No offense to ruby programmers but, Ruby's not necessarily the ideal language for game programming even when it comes to scripting languages.

And...if you know ruby well enough to make a game, you could learn one of the many other languages better suited to game dev fairly easily.

What makes this worth paying for?
He didn't even mention the two who were "ousted," but Bloomberg feels compelled to align with its ongoing anti-AI narrative by using a deceptively-worded headline (sequencing trying to imply causation).

Trove Apps | Lead Developer | ATLANTA, GA OR REMOTE | North America timezone

We’re a small team building SaaS products across various platforms. Our team of 11 is distributed in North America, Europe, and Asia.

I’m the founder. I bootstrapped Trove to just under 1M ARR in 14 months. We’re positioned for solid growth over the next few years, and I’m looking for a highly skilled lead engineer who can take over all of our development efforts as well as allow me to focus on the other aspects of the business.

A couple of things I’m looking for in a candidate (in no particular order):

- the ability to multitask in a very fast paced environment.

- highly skilled on both the frontend and backend. our stack is React + Rails.

- solid fundamental understanding of how quality software is built, and best practices.

- an understanding of UI/UX, and a keen “eye” for design. this is difficult to gauge, but its very important that we’re on a similar wavelength.

- The ability to put development efforts in the context of business and customer needs. must be able to distinguish between what is “fun” and what’s “mission critical”. this is harder than it sounds.. emotions have a way of clouding judgement.

- Fast speed and a high level of output. you should be able to deliver at least 2-3x faster than most. I work extremely fast so I expect as much from our lead engineer. I value execution much more than perfection.

Salary range: 90-120k USD with possibility of significant equity after 6 months. The equity offer will be significantly higher than those offered by VC funded startups or a comparable ARR company with our growth trajectory. I understand the key role you'll play in our growth, and am looking for someone who will be in it for the long-haul.

Are ZIP codes actually number? I'd say they're really numeric strings, and should be handled as strings.
I spent time living in a small city (Vicksburg MS), the people living in the boonies were much worse off then those in the city or adjacent neighborhoods. Even getting to a grocery is hard, and no trash pickup or anything nice like a sewer.

There should be a high bar to for prohibiting people from doing something that does not infringe anybody's rights.

Thanks. But always remember for the brief and last encounter we ever have, instead of clarifying where I was mistaken, you chose to insult me. Thanks man.
> I can't remember a covert operation done by China

Why would you expect to? Have you been watching for them? Are you privy to information the rest of us don't have? They are covert after all. "I don't remember" says more about your perception than about the underlying reality. As others have pointed out, there are many known instances of Chinese malfeasance, mostly around misappropriation of military secrets. There are surely some unknown as well.

> I can't help thinking of either racism, or...

Again, more to do with your perception than the underlying reality. That those are the first explanations you grasp for says nothing about whether they're the right ones.
Simple trick: Take a pen with a cap. Close one eye. Hold it at some distance - as if you were holding it just above the desk while sitting at it. Without making the hands touch (just hold the end of the cap and the end of the pen), try to put them together again. It's actually not that easy and I miss almost every time. Moving your head a bit doesn't help that much in this situation.

So yeah - for big objects, scenery, etc. it works. For some manual actions 2 points of vision are much more useful than paralax when moving.
Definitely coming.
I thought this would be interesting since it provides a different perspective on what is important in a startup. Currently, the dogma is the team is the most important, but this post present an argument for the market.
It's interesting to contrast this with games such as WoW and Farmville, which seem to reward endurance more than skill. Interestingly, Cory Doctorow's latest book 'for the win' explores exactly this.
The real shit-storm about the paedophile episode was actually after it was repeated. The initial showing got complaints, but nothing like the attention the later showing was subject to.
We are arguing against a move to permanent DST. The fact that the time is clock is moved delays the period where we suffer late sunrise significantly. If instead of DST being 2/3 of the year it would be 3/3 of the year, the remaining 1/3 would be significantly worse for the portion of the population that is forced to wake up before sunrise.

As an example, there is a period now (before covid) where my partner’s commute started before sunrise during DST, then we would move to standard and happily the commute was back to during sunrise for a couple of more weeks. If we stayed on a permanent DST those extra couple of weeks would be darker in the morning. And I have a strong feeling that can have health implications for a broad subset of the population.
My biggest wish for the Mac is to take macOS back off yearly releases. Or at least make every other yearly release minor, just to add compatibility with whatever got added to iOS.

What’s the point in having a big release every year if takes six months to sand down all the rough edges?
I find this principle useful - that a fine is just permission slip for people who can afford it.

But, in terms of environmental crimes as discussed in these comments, the reason corporation dump toxic waste in the river is to avoid the clean-up cost - it's an economic crime.

So in that case, it's an appropriate solution to fine a large multiple of the total clean-up cost plus damages. The point is to not make it an affordable option, no matter how rich you are.

Separately, fines which rise in proportional to wealth can work in a progressive way, e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8446545.stm

See the guidelines. The titles should be the original article title, unless that title is clickbaity, in which case either a less baity subhed can be used or a carefully written neutral headline. The big no-no is extracting some interesting fact from inside the article and using it as the title; submissions are community property, and the person who submits them isn't entitled to decide what the most important angle in the article is.
So you believe that an app known to be enabling and protecting protests on the level of what's happening in Hong Kong, with regular destruction of property, molotovs, knives to police, etc. would be allowed to stay on the app store?

Yes, it's called Twitter. It's happened many times before, complete with fire and mayhem.

In the United States, protests are rarely just "the people" because the politicians are also "the people."

A subset of politicians who oversee the police are very often in the front of any protest march. In addition to community leaders, clergy, and other people the police don't want to screw with.

I know there are a few Hong Kong politicians involved in those protests, but not at the level that is typical in the United States.

In spite of the sensationalized and rare incidents that are publicized on the internet, in America politicians = people > police.
The dime-in-both-hands trick is a very clear example, but it also sounds so simple and obvious that I can't imagine many people falling for it, especially if they knew the performer was a magician. But perhaps I'm just so cynical that I would always be more concentrated on figuring out a magician's tricks than letting myself be entertained.
Extraordinary story. What I always found strange was how super rich corporations like Shell will skimp in making purchases of the required safety mechanisms, try to avoid taxes etc. and will ultimately end up with disasters such as this one, which could have been avoided if the tug had been stronger or better equipped, and the shackles had been new and strong.
