Maybe because "being compatible with Linux" doesn't mean anything specific. There's no spec so nobody can follow it... which is what GP is saying I suppose: Define a bar so people can try to aim for it.
`snowflake` is pretty good MPP database. Buts it's a managed service.

Few advantage over traditional MPP

1. You can clone prod DB for testing with no additional cost.

2. Time travel. No need to take manual back.

3. Good integration with AWS S3

4. Can scale horizontally and vertically on demand
Maybe you're onto something. Assuming your intent is to obtain information from a captured enemy at all costs, an implant like this is probably far more humane than waterboarding or actual torture.
Sadly, this is a typical Register headline.

Google did not say "Kubernetes is too complex" but rather, they are making this new tool - called Autopilot - that is an abstraction layer on top of Kubernetes for certain types of applications / companies.

This Autopilot system still uses Kubernetes AFAICT.
Oh gates you troll, thanks for the reminder
What kind of fucked up site has 10+ iframes per page, let alone hundreds? And the example site he uses takes 530megs to load even without addons. I'm sensing the issue is somewhere other than Adblock Plus.
This. The ongoing arms race between advertisers and adblockers damage content delivery, which is why I'm hoping for a solution which can replace ads in the near future. Maybe Google Contributor is onto something.

I would recommend trying the Reader view in Safari (I'm sure there's similar functionality in other browsers) to read articles without clutter. Works like a charm.
I'm not a lawyer, but unless the publisher agree, you're probably not fine. IIRC, Instapaper and readability run on the client. They don't reproduce the complete article on the server.

I'd also argue that you're in a morally murky area. Call me old-fashioned (and give me one while you're at it), but I respect these journalists and the people that pay them.
Is it just received wisdom that Cluster then in a single, easily avoided neighborhood [that is apparently violent] is the best way to accomplish everyone in public housing to find a job and leave?
The author seems to be mixing his messages.

His second sentence ("What really happens, of course, is that the system in question becomes booby-trapped with extra risk. As a result, problems are more likely, and when there there is even a slight issue, it has the potential to escalate into a major crisis.") I -completely- disagree with, as phrased/contextualized, both from a theoretical and an experienced perspective (week long change freezes prior to important events have led to fairly straightforward operation cycles, whereas deployments lead sometimes to unexpected new features, new UI elements, new bugs, etc, which people on a trade show floor probably don't want to have to deal with when demoing).

However, his conclusion (the big long paragraph at the end that I won't bother quote) is suitably vague and abstract and filled with good advice (while ignoring subtleties and specifics, such as when he admits 'Frozen systems can run as-is briefly', but then immediately goes on to describe the issues with leaving them running as is for long periods) that I can't directly disagree with it.

In short, I'm not really sure what to do with this. "Improve your deployment processes!" Well, sure, that's always a good thing. But that's mostly orthogonal to whether we have change/deployment freezes (they don't happen because of fear of the deployment process, but because of fear of the new code and the changes it brings). And the entire argument seems to posit that all change freezes are bad, yet he both throws a bone that they at least are tenable for brief periods in his conclusion, -and- ignores the body of evidence pretty much everyone has that short change freezes -do- grant comparative stability, which may make for sound business decisions (I personally have sat in a demo where key functionality was broken because of a last minute check-in of some library code from someone on another team that they had not properly tested. That stuff -happens-).

Were the tone changed to, sure, include all the risks inherent in a change freeze, but to rephrase the arguments to show that as time goes on an inflection point is reached such that the cons outweigh the benefits, and posit that that point is reached much faster than you might think, I'd be completely on board. As it is...meh.

EDIT: Maybe the author is specifically targeting web applications with frequent pushes to prod, i.e., the code you're freezing hasn't had time to shake out any of its issues, as compared to a versioned release that has been in production, and patched as necessary, for a week or two prior to the freeze, and the code freeze is just applicable to new versions, not patches considered critical.

As my paranoia ramps up year on year, I now use Opera with µBlock. For me, it has the polish of Chrome with some nice extras, but without the increasingly creepy Googality.
It works fine, although I've not tried µMatrix. (I have my defaults changed to DuckDuckGo. Usually connecting via a VPN.)

I've whitelisted a few sites I like to support (a couple of webcomics, HaD etc).

I have a lot of filters: "62,501 network filters ＋ 40,728 cosmetic filters".

Opera's task manager says the extension is taking up a mere 32MB. Probably not accurate, but a lot better AdBlock (my previous favourite).

Off-topic but I wish people would stop using Mu for project names. Where is the Mu key on the keyboard? I have to copy and paste or alt-code it. Call the project microBlock or something! They use "u" instead of "µ" on Github, so why not just use something else entirely?

µTorrent was the one that really irritated me because I couldn't type "utorr" to search for it on my start menu.

I'd say something to gorhill (albeit far more politely), but it seems childish and ungrateful. He's clearly poured so much time and effort into making such useful software. "Great software but the name is fucking annoying, mate!"
I've read very bad reviews, it's supposedly very buggy product
That's true, but I'm not sure what it would even mean to have multiple implementations of the same function at the same time.

Do you mean something like operator overloading where a given type has a different implementation of new that is used for it? Or a way to select different implementations of the global operator new at runtime? It seems to me that it should be possible for the latter to make it switchable, although the code would be inelegant to say the least.

AFAIK the former is possible as well, but the problem is that I think the type-specific operator new/delete have to be members of the type which means that you can't add it on later.

That's a great article btw.
Odd question, but have you ever tried training your bees? I've read articles on the prospect of using bees to scan for chemical compounds in such a way so as to detect drugs/explosives/illness and I would really like to hear first hand from someone who has some experience in this field. Also... quantum bees[1]!?

First off - thanks for the tip. Second - I'd suggest reconsidering the casual use of the word "rape". I understand what it means in this context but think such usage trivializes rape and in some sense normalizes it or makes it "cute".

What's the alternative supposed to be? Another CEO that has the absolute right to decide what goes on Facebook?

I think Zuckerberg is in an impossible decision. I think the fundamental problem is that social support for a classic understanding of the 1st amendment has fallen apart, but the legal requirements of the 1st amendment haven't changed (and personally, I don't think they should). Regardless, Zuckerberg is being forced to essentially create an extra-legal institution so that he isn't personally responsible for content moderation decisions. And he shouldn't be - no single person should have the power to decide what is fair online.
Google might have their interests aligned with the ecosystem in this case, which is nice, but don't pretend that they haven't otherwise lost the public's trust.
Depends on how Kotlin decides to expose them at the language level.

For example, you need special syntax to use SAM types and Kotlin cannot use all use cases from interfaces with default methods.

That is the thing with the Java Virtual Machine, the bytecodes and runtime are designed for Java, all guest languages have to pretend to be Java.

Just disassemble the amount of boilerplate generated by the Kolin compiler.

If I need to get a M1 Mac, I will not bother with Pro. Surely under sustained load it is like 20% faster as Air throttles down, but if this important, then I guess just get a desktop which will still be faster despite using older Intel CPUs.

The big plus of Air is that it is completely passive and silent. As such it will last longer. Depending on the dust level one may need to open the notebook each 6 months or even more often to vacuum clean and to avoid any throttling due to dust accumulation.
I always wished for a ssh environment that worked more like a client server app. In other words you could connect to the remote server but your shell is still the one that take the calls and dispatches them like api requests. The remote server can still be as secure as the api exposed is only the ones that the user has permission for. The big difference is that your shell and tools are always the same and it would allow to easily run commands both locally and remotely in the same shell/session. More easily share data. There are probably good reasons to not do this but I think it would be a far better user experience.

A simple way is to just pay the farmers for the damage.

For example, the group Defenders of Wildlife was faced with a similar situation in Montana, where the wolves were getting shot because they ate the livestock of the area. They raised money and paid for the losses in exchange of the promise that the ranchers wouldn't kill the wolves.

This doesn't help if people are attacked, of course.

The original source does not claim that, it's a deformation from Tomshardware.

Original claim [1]:

> IFS is the only foundry to offer IP optimized for all three of the industry’s leading ISAs: x86, Arm and RISC-V.

It's not the foundry that is "optimized for RISC-V & ARM & x86", it's the IP provided by the foundry services.
This should be interpreted as: "IFS IPs (ARM & RISC-V & x86) are optimized for IFS fabs".
And TSMC does not provide this service.

I was just writing something similar after some research when I found this existing thread. Maybe we should refer to these public-private-public carousels as PEPOs (Private Equity Public Offering) ? :P

Pedantic nit: not quite an IPO (Initial Public Offering) in its true sense since the original ARM Holdings was already a public limited company (PLC) before Softbank bought it from its shareholders in 2016. The trading entity and group parent is Arm Ltd, a private limited company formed in 1990 [0].

There is however a currently dormant Arm Holdings Ltd [1] incorporated in 2018 which may be converted to a public company so it would be the first time this legal entity has been publicly listed.

20% workforce reduction plus the CEO being replaced and winding down their newly planned US plant, they must be really concerned about their fundamentals and market demand.

> had nothing to do with Operation Bricole, which didn't even start until 1972

So the feds did get busted planting bombs to blame it on some terror organization. Just, not right away. That kinda makes what happened before they got busted suspicious doesn't it.

> it concerned the (real, not manufactured) kidnapping and murder of Pierre Laporte, among various other (real, not manufactured) terrorist activities

But the feds did get busted for doing the same thing... so that was manufactured. But these incidents were real and not manufactured... ok... Weren’t they famously not even able to rule out a suicide and convict someone not even in the room when he died?

> Moreover: the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms didn't even exist in 1970, so it's not quite accurate to say that Trudeau "suspended the constitution" then. In fact, he's the one who, in 1982, led the charge to create a Canadian constitution

Wow so there was not even a constitution to suspend? And didn't like, a third of the population just not sign it? Honestly the more I hear about it the more it sounds surreal. I don’t think this would fly in America.
If one wants to avoid having contact list on server, they don't have to force everyone to use government issued and fully controlled identifiers. They can do local contacts storage, and use emails... or even random numeric identifiers (anyone remembers ICQ?).

I think novok is right in their uncle comment -- the decision to force people to use phone numbers, with all the related privacy problems, was to increase adoption. And we should be upfront on it: "Yes, Signal could have made things more private if they would allow usernames/emails/UINs... but instead they decided to force phone numbers to get market share as fast as possible. Yes, this means millions of people are forced to share the Signal contact list with Facebook and Google, but it was worth it -- look we have 40 million users now!"

There is nothing wrong with reducing user's privacy in order to get more market share. But let's not claim that this was for users' benefits.

You can still be burnt out and engerized or interested by a side project. Actually that might be even more of sign that you're burnt out. The burn out seems like it isn't coding fatigue but a disconnect with your work and customers/product.
As well he should be. So should we all.
For your point 2, I think it's really interesting to think about creating value and capturing value.

There's currently only 1 measure of success for capitalism, and that's capturing value. Creating value without capturing it is seen as stupid and a waste of time.

I wonder if this is slowly changing due to the nature of "capturing value" having so many negative externalities that it really ruins the spirit of creating value.

What is missed in the article and many of these comments is that Hadoop isn't always going the best tool for one job. It shines in its multitenancy- when many users are running many jobs-each developed in their favorite framework or language(bash/awk pipeline? No problem) running over datasets bigger than single machines can handle.

It also comes in handy when your dataset grows dramatically in size.

"A lot of common numerical operations result in irrationals, including all root, logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, and that would take an infinite amount of space to represent faithfully."

Actually symbolic representation can help here - not just to represent the values, but help the final precision. As a trivial example 2/sqrt(2) can be reduced to sqrt(2) with no loss of precision from the division.

This is a lot of hassle though, and not a perfect solution, but it helps solve rounding errors from irrational constants or functions... in a sense some of your intermediary values have infinite precision (but in reality you removed the operation with a clever optimisation/precision conserving trick).
Fascinating!

They took advantage of the fact that the AXE allows new software to be installed without rebooting the system, an important feature when any interruption would disconnect phone calls, lose text messages, and render emergency services unreachable. To let an AXE exchange run continuously for decades, as many of them do, Ericsson's software uses several techniques for handling failures and upgrading an exchange's software without suspending its operation. These techniques allow the direct patching of code loaded in the central processor, in effect altering the operating system on the fly.

Do they run erlang?

IIRC, the whole point of renaming it Racket is to show that PLT Scheme is "more than just scheme".
I was more shocked that they didn't have a separate 'staff' AP setup on a different channel.
I think that's a bit cynical.

Apple's all about the user experience, and I think they have rightly judged that enough of the new features won't perform adequately to be a satisfying user experience.

You can quibble about the call, but how many other phone OS vendors would support 2-year-old phones for a free upgrade? How many other phone OSes even do upgrades on old phones?

(Android does, a little, but I think most of the Android vendors aren't supporting, e.g., Froyo, on their older 1.5 handsets.)
To be honest, I would much rather see a thicker phone with a longer battery. My current iPhone (the 3g) feels unnecessarily thin to me.

What I would really like to see would be the option for a larger battery.
But not for doctors. The lower end of the household income range I listed is achievable by doctors alone. I would also presume doctors are more often than not marrying lawyers on the higher end of the income scale.

Bottom line, based on numerous personal experiences and pay data, I do not expect lawyer/doctor families to have the quality of life the person I was responding to claim they have, on average.
The foreign military aid is also a jobs program.

The business model for healthcare is divorced from the actual healthcare provided. Emergency care for instance tends to be billed at nutty rates. IMO, the best thing to do is to avoid ambulance/emergency if possible, although this isn't always an option and can be risky, and to shop around for everything where possible. Call up your insurance company with codes and provider numbers and find out what everyone around you actually charges for something.

Each medical group can also have their own economic models which are optimized for different things. One local group actually has reasonably priced specialty visits, but their outpatient services are crazy expensive ($1000 in-network for a NCS/EMG), and that's how they've structured things. Another semi-public group (University of California based) charges significantly more for visits, but significantly less for outpatient procedures ($1000 for an in-network 3.0T MRI).
