This is too powerful to use for product work, I think.

Professionals like to use something they can understand, and when making a BD or streaming source they know what a compression artifact looks like and which frames' bitrates to tweak to hide it. They pretty much sit there all day and just do that.

Maybe live streaming?

> And in civil law countries judges still heavily rely on precedent to aid in interpreting law.

The US and the UK are different in one other aspect compared to most Continental countries, more exactly in the fact that they had had a "democratic" and fair judicial system for at least the last 200 years, so there's plenty of cases from which to create "fair" precedents.

For comparison, my country (in Eastern Europe) has been a Communist dictatorship for 50 years, and it would be a little strange to judge a present complaint based on cases judged in the past by communist-controlled judges. The same goes for countries like Italy (which had Mussolini and the fascists rule them for 20+ years), Germany (the Nazis), Spain (Franco), Portugal (Salazar) and so on.

Plus, in this discussion I'm more on Thomas Paine's side against Burke's, the past has no intrinsic "value" stored in itself, the common law comes from the "dark ages". I know Napoleon is still pretty much hated in the Anglo-Saxon world, but in imposing his judicial code he was on the more enlightened side of things.

Of course, but Google is an outlier in just about every sense. Most people in San Francisco don't earn the equivalent of Google's total comp.

Also, what's this nonsense about Decatur, Illinois? St. Louis and Cincinnati and Nashville and Pittsburgh and so on all have a bunch of pre-WWII, walkable, interesting neighborhoods, with little restaurants and bars and people putting on poetry readings and bands playing in basement clubs and jazz quartets playing at wine and cheese parties and concert halls that host national acts and major sports franchises and yuppies and hipsters and Python Meetups and comedy clubs and big pretty parks and coffee shops and whatever else you can think of.

No, they are emphatically not like San Francisco or NYC. But don't be silly. Millions of people live in those places. Did you really think they're all just skipping stones and waiting to die?

I'm quite glad I grew up here, because I think I'd be just the type of asshole who'd make jokes about Decatur, Illinois had I not. And you know what? I'd have been wrong.

In my personal comparison, a huge factor for RDS and against Heroku is something that I have never seen mentioned in these comparisons: you can run multiple databases on a single RDS instance and you can't do that with Heroku.

My company has a bunch of microservices that each need a Postgres database, but none of them are particularly high traffic. We do however need high availability guarantees for all of them, and so Heroku's pricing starts at $200/mo per database.

With RDS, we get adequate performance for a similar total cost (around $300/mo), but get to run about a dozen separate high-availability databases on that same instance, each with their own usernames and passwords. That means significant savings.

(of course you could just share a single Heroku Postgres database and user account between these services, perhaps separating them by scheme, but that wasn't really to my taste.)
I'm pretty sure the kind of people who used to move from Akron to, say, Philedelphia for more opportunities before middle america's mobility and income were severely reduced by the march of progress can't quite afford to move to London in hopes of finding a better life these days.
I completely agree with the idea of simple, flexible tools for interacting with programs and providing good tools for users.

A while back I was putting together a DB query tool for volunteer staff to use. I deliberately made it simple and as unambiguous as I could within the limits of "simple". For example, allowing a free form search of principle database fields, I set up a very basic regular expression syntax, just substring match, and optionally '*', '+', '|', and '.'.

This part of the interface is 3 text entry fields, with a nicely worded help message right next to the entries. In person, I showed the primary users how the interface worked and demoed the simplified regex.

Months later there are sometimes still questions like "how do I find somebody named 'John Q. Smith'?" ("Just enter 'smi' and pick the name off the list of names sent back.") I don't mind going over it again, especially for someone new, but I think it shows it may be harder than we anticipate to introduce "programming-like" methods to typical users.

Are you describing a Debian server instance running an SSH daemon listening on a public IP address as "something seriously wrong?" Are you implying that DoS and brute force attacks are not real threats? Is there another solution you prescribe to address these and related issues other than the solutions discussed in this thread, such as fail2ban, port fluxing, port knocking, and VPN?

> > > To me fail2ban for SSH seems a little strange unless it's in a shared hosting environment, as the real solution is simply key auth.

> Generally not, and that'd obviously only apply if you were operating the environment as generally only the host has root on such systems.

If you don't own and operate your own data center, which is becoming a rare thing these days, your servers are in a shared hosting environment. How do you define "shared hosting environment," and how is fail2ban "a little strange" unless in that context? What does root access (or the lack thereof) have to do with protecting daemons from network attacks?

I think main difference is that some people get more sympathy from jury and better chances to get away with crime. In continental law judge tends to be more fair.

For example black receive higher sentences for drug related crimes. Women commits 30% of all murders but are 10 times less likely to be convicted.

Also in continental law sentences are shorter and more reasonable; 8 years for murder etc.

EDIT: we actually have sentences for murder 10 years to lifetime. It depends on case.

> If you can find a job in a place like St. Louis or Cincinnati, you could take a meaningful pay cut -- say 30% or so, at least -- and come out ahead in lifestyle.

IF

The problem is that most people in tech understand that your job in gone in 5 years, 10 years at the outside. Given that I need 4 jobs over my lifetime (at least), I'm going to stay where I can get my next job even if that area is expensive.

If I find a good job in St. Louis, Cincinnati, or Pittsburgh, what happens when that job goes away? Now I have to move to San Jose, Austin, Boston anyway AND I'm going to have a difficult time because my family is used to that big house and yard in the suburbs, but I didn't put enough money away fast enough to make the jump to the more expensive area because my salary was 30% less.
This is exactly right and it works both ways.

If you're comparing NYC to St. Louis and desire a 60th floor apartment in a high rise, then the COL difference is infinity or mu or NAN or something. You simply can't make the comparison.

The same is true when comparing the average detached home in the Midwest to San Francisco. For most people, the answer to, "how much more would I have to make to buy the same house out there?" is "it doesn't matter, because you'll never make that much."
There are clear methods to decide if a company has dominant position or not. It has nothing to do with whether you can use another one or not. Perhaps you don't have an idea what you are talking about.
I'm convinced that Ethereum is going to suffer the same fate as Bitcoin. Here's the cycle that will eventually play out:

(1) Relatively interesting technological breakthrough comes along. Promising but questionable applicability to real-world problems.

(2) It attracts early, idealistic developers, some of whom are genuinely talented. Rational debate is still possible at this point.

(3) The hype builds up and in turn attracts various groups: raging anarcho-capitalists, developers of a mildly libertarian bent, get-rich-quick enthusiasts and teenagers. The price continually bubbles and spikes as fresh money comes in from speculators betting on the hype.

(4) The spiking price is misinterpreted as a signal that the technology is going mainstream and is ready to be applied to real-world problems. Lots of half-baked apps and companies are built. No actual traction is found (with the notable exception of the dark web).

(5) Repeat (3) and (4) until the press and wider community no longer believe the hype. Possibly rebrand to 'blockchains' or some other less toxic noun.

This kindle can't load socrata right, but that timeframe makes sense. After the initial request for the mayor's records directly, I did another to the FOIA officer to see if it was just the mayor without records.

I actually got the records by a request to their IT Dept for the mayor's office's VoIP logs. They ended up getting me info from the phone's billing system, but redacted. It took six months or so of waiting for AG to agree with my arguments to unredact the records.

Chicago's lawyer then swooped in and called a technical foul... since they don't use VoIP, so the request was invalidated.

A nearly identical request later (without "VoIP") and they sent me the exact same PDF as before along with a claim of unduly burdensome to discover if the numbers were releasable or not. So then we sued.

Society prohibits many things and often it works fine.

Yes it does. I'm talking about this specific kind of prohibitions - taking away options from the poor for "their own good".

And I fully agree that privacy can be regulated and the EU does a decent job of it. They also happen to not prohibit me from giving/selling one's personal data away, so I'm not sure how it helps that argument.

As for the fallacy about prohibiting, the context of this conversation is about "deny[ing] these people their right to abandon their own privacy". What's denying a right if not prohibiting? If your argument is that privacy should be regulated in general, not that people should be denied the right to give it up, then you should say so, we're not mind readers.

For me, it's all about discipline. You don't delete your interests, you just force yourself to focus on the thing you've decided is most important. Sometimes you need a break or have 'writer's block' and can play with some other interests, but at the end of the day, you need to finish the thing you've prioritized.

There's nothing wrong with having lots of interests and playing around with lots of pet projects. But the more you do that, the less likely you'll ever finish anything. There's certainly a lot of sacrifice in order to see something to completion.
Can we have a laptop with transparent LCD in front of a color e-Ink?

So that when stuff happens quickly LCD shows it, but when nothing happens for some time - LCD turns transparent (maybe even just for the region of screen that is static) and ePaper keeps showing it.

2) Nonetheless, your all-caps IF was a tad dramatic :) I'm a programmer in St. Louis. Jobs are plentiful. I've been working for about 10 years without issue (both at big companies and small).

3) None of this even applies to me because I have no family and no interest in owning a home right now. (So I'm not coming from a position of trying to defend my own choices.)
