Under Proxmox any kind of network load have an abnormal impact on cpu load, often almost freezing the host.
On esx it's a bit better but at the cost of low throughput.

From what I've read it's an issue with offload/checksum with FreeBSD.

After lots of digging on the subject I gave up and switched to VyOS for my proxmox cluster. It doesn't have a nice web panel but the load of the host is now barely noticeable.

A significant proportion of IT and STEM graduate are unable to get work in their chosen industry, and proceed to waste years of education by going into other areas out of necessity.

Therefore all the talk about a tech talent shortage is complete and utter bullshit and coding bootcamps and H1B visas are another strategy to keep wages low and make it so companies don't have to pay for training, don't have to have signing bonuses.

They handle environmental impact by regulatory agency, not by giving everybody and their brother the right to sue to stop the project on environmental grounds. The way the US does it keeps regulatory bodies relatively small and cheap in budget terms by passing on the enforcement costs to private parties. But the overall costs and delays go way, way up.

He announced huge layoffs (18,000 people) almost as soon as he took over. A lot of Nokia people, but also 5,500 people not related to mobile and 1,400 of them at HQ. A year later he made another huge cut of 7,800 people.
I have not read Nabokov's translation of Eugene Onegin, but this piece led me to wonder if he was an inspiration for Stanley Lombardo's translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, which are stark departures from previous translations that eschew meter in favor of clarity and meaning.

(As a side note, those translations are fantastic, and I highly recommend them.)

You don't even support your statement: "affirmative action means women and minorities get preferential treatment during hiring." Guess the discussion is over since you refuse to provide any evidence to back up your ridiculous claims.

You know he actually does have his own blog: https://addyosmani.com/blog/

As well as several blog like posts at google plus https://plus.google.com/+AddyOsmani

There are numerous official google blogs like the chromium blog https://blog.chromium.org/

As to why he chose medium over his existing blogs only he can tell you. My guess would be that he is using Medium to reach a bigger audience.

The confusing thing is when he he says we and us (talking about his team) it's confusing since it's on Medium. This really should be up on the Google dev blogs if it's official.
UK Teen Hacked 150,000 Printers
I can't speak to the product side because up until a year ago I hardly used any MSFT products but I can say that the culture that has been brought by Satya, and likely his reports, is one of the reasons I joined MSFT after being a longtime hater.

When I was approached to come work for MSFT I said "no" right away. The person recruiting me said "just listen to our pitch and then you can say 'no' if you want". After hearing Satya talk about where he wants the company to go and what it'll take to get there I had a 180 degree switch on how I felt about MSFT. I talked with some other old-timers who were there to see if things really had changed and they all told me that it was a slow progression but things were certainly changing for the better.

Now it's totally possible that they all are just good at selling to people but it was enough to get me to join and 95% of the time I'm glad I did.
i am very suspicious of my fiance of two years now that she's cheating on me, she has changed passwords to every account that she has, plus put a pin lock on her phone, i have been searching for ways to retrieve her text messages without installing any software on her phone or having access to it, so far i am not having any luck. we have a 19 year history together, plus a beautiful 18 year old daughter & this is eating me up inside. But i finally burst on this page from Google and found the God eye who changed my whole story for good! He help me hack her FB, her emails and her phone number and i got to see all his messages and apps from her phone. only for me to found out she's cheating and have a son out there without my consent but i thank the God eye for letting me know all this and am moving on fine with my life and my daughter. He's also involved in any sort of hacking issues. Hurray!! Get to him on (Godeyeviewhacker AT hotmail DOT com)
Buffer MGMT Change
UAW confirms workers at Tesla have approached the union
One of the arguments I see repeated here against hiring H1-B junior developers is that they:

a) Aren't qualified as the best and brightest since they're still inexperienced

b) Took a university seat from an American citizen

[1] Firstly, my response to these is going to treat the $65k/year as a soon-to-be-solved problem. It's making the whole program look bad at the expense of talented people and the American economy, and luckily has bi-partisan support for reform.

I want to offer a thought. As a country, we want the world's greatest minds to reside here. Those minds generate ideas, make local companies stronger and, at the most basic level, generate tax revenue greater than the average citizen. Creating a pipeline to bring in the best minds in the world is a net benefit for US citizens. Giving up /some/ university seats to attract the brightest from other countries makes sense. Giving up /some/ entry level roles to retaining those minds in the country, to which we've already lent our world-leading educational institutions to, also makes sense.

I've been in a hiring position with a Global 500 company that considers H1-B applicants. At no point during any of my conversations with other hiring managers did we ever consider "Oh, let's take that applicant, they'll cost less because of their Visa." If anything, some folks might hold off because they don't want to deal with the uncertainty of losing a key employee because of a lottery. If companies wanted cheap labor, they'd just use outsourcing. So it's possible H1-B applicants (excepting cheap consultants, see [1]) have a higher bar to clear than citizen/resident candidates.

The interesting point here, is that there's 3 types of nationalism in this discussion and I find it funny that we're not self aware about it (apologies, my bias is apparent in my descriptions):

1) Protectionist nationalism - "This is America and AMERICAN people born [or naturalized] here deserve our companies' jobs."

2) Opportunist nationalism - "America and its citizens as a whole are better off with more high-skilled H1-B immigrants because we can take the skilled horsepower other countries would otherwise possess."

3) Anti-nationalism - I don't see this one mentioned much, but what happens to the countries America is soaking up talent /from/? Is it a good thing that one country attracts the brightest from all around the world, rather than distributing skill evenly?

My personal opinions have hovered around type 2 (opportunist nationalism). I've considered type 3 and think it deserves more consideration. Does anyone have data on what happens to the countries America sources talent from? Is this one of those magic win-win scenarios, or the more intuitive win-lose?

Apologies, this is lightly edited as it's long-winded and during work hours.
I was hoping the article had an answer, but it really just asked the question and pointed out why some obvious answers are not good answers...

But peers tend to know who the good developers on the team are. They know whose code they don't mind taking over. They know who to go to with questions and problems. And those are the developers doing a good job -- the ones that the other developers trust.
This species sounds more like they are in control of the aphids' reproduction, to the point the aphids have evolved a new organ.

It also tends to reduce distance travelled because left turns are often done to get onto faster roads - if you right-turn it all the way, you're often on slower roads, so you're not going as fast, but you're saving actual travel distance.
The skill that they possess is the ability to work for 1/2 the pay.
There is clearly need for reform here. Careful thought and a deep understanding of what is good for tech, and for workers, should both be considered. Unfortunately, careful thought and deep understanding is not what this administration has shown itself to be about.
Given the danger net neutrality is in, what is the backup plan?
While I'd like to assume that net neutrality will be upheld, we have to plan for the worst. If net neutrality falls, the only solutions I can easily think of are:

- Community run ISPs (there are a handful of implementations of this, but asking many municipalities/local governments to figure this out will certainly require some sort of streamlining/innovation). Also, you're going to have to fight 1000s of battles with the same people that struck down net neutrality to begin with.

- Mesh networking -- I'm not sure what's holding up adoption. I know somewhat of technical limitations, but it seems that for at least big cities, if only someone could sell a very strong antennae + router package & some (hopefully) easy to upgrade/manage software, we could start with at least the technologically adept residents bootstrapping a new internet...

Could someone please fill in what I don't know that I don't know? Is it just that no company has stepped up to offer the tech for approach (2) or try and make (1) easier for local government?

_NOTE_ - This is not meant to be a discussion on whether companies should be allowed to control/vary rates on their traffic, that discussion is pointless as long as government-enforced monopolies exist.

Don't think so. There's a similar coloured dot around about the "10 o'clock" position near a white cloud.

Probably a digital artifact, and/or possibly from high-energy particle.

Edit - also the uniform turquoise colour is not very much like any known Jupiter moons. Io is sulphurous and most others are shades of grey. Titan around Saturn is one of the rare moons with a thick and colourful atmosphere.
I'm not sure about that, but 'mmx' did come to fruition with early pentiums.
I agree. Also in this particular case, an added challenge is that the frontend has to work offline and my customer wants to self host everything instead of using an easy 3rd party solutions like Firebase, even as a proxy.

Been using pfsense for a while now, and with CARP and system redundancy, firewalling, and twin ipsec tunnels to AWS, it's been great and hugely reliable.
But is the audience for his post the same as the audience he's talking about in the post? I'd wager: no. Not only do developers tend to have more high-powered machines, this is a post we're much more likely to be reading on a desktop that a mobile device, compared to average. Plus, the post makes the point that a delay is hugely detrimental to any UI on a page, like buttons that won't do anything. Blog posts don't have that issue - you can start reading the article without JS having loaded yet.

The blog post repeatedly makes the point that you should measure everything you do and that you shouldn't apply blanket rules to your coding. I think the same logic applies here. The post being on Medium just isn't that relevant.
But we have been getting paid those ~numbers!

Software engineer salaries are starting to have a strong bimodal distribution.

Charitably, your statement could very well be true for those American developers who live in the lower end of compensation. But, it's nonsensical when applied to those getting paid in the high range.

Anyway, the long-term fix is not to shift the lower end up by ~10k (if that even happens) for everyone. The fix is for each individual developer to move to the higher range.

ie. quit blaming immigration and get better.
Video Hack Day 3 in NYC
That would essentially mean only silicon valley and NYC employers would get H1B employees. The entire South would face a skills shortage. The economist article actually provides a better solution. Visas shouldn't be tied to a particular employer. The employee should be able to transition to a new employer without a new visa application. There could be minimal paperwork to determine when a foreign worker is and whether they pay prevailing wages. Also the limit on visa numbers actually make the problem worse. Instead of say Apple getting engineers they need, their visa applications now have to compete with TCS' low paying applications. Apple in this case would then be forced to subcontract TCS employees so they can work onntheir projects. Also visas are once a year thing. So employers are forced into subcontracting if they have say a 6 month project. The solution would be to eliminate cap on visa numbers and to raise the prevailing wages labor department provides on a given city and to consolidate the multitude of job titles available for visa applications. For example there are Application Engineers, UI Engineers and Software Engineers all having different prevailing wages as per labor department.
I agree that AWS could improve their openness around service problems. That said, what impacts some customers doesn't impact all customers. Ably may be offline when AWS has certain types of trouble, but that doesn't mean everyone with services in that AZ or region are having similar problems.

You also have to keep in mind that AWS status reports aren't just informational. They have a direct impact on how people use their service. As soon as AWS puts up a yellow dot, people start changing DNS and spinning up failovers in other regions or AZs, which has the potential to cascade into a much bigger failure when resources are unnecessarily tied up in other regions for something that maybe isn't as big a crisis as it sounds at first. This has happened before, and is part of the reason why AWS is so circumspect about announcing problems.

Point being that there are ways to architect around AZ and region failure that don't rely on trusting AWS's own reporting. Anyone with a significant investment in or dependency on AWS or any cloud service should not rely on those service's own indicators.

All that said, the fact is that in a system as big as AWS there are minor problems going on all the time. It would be healthier for their customers, their PR image, and the response to bigger incidents for them to reveal more details showing that yeah, most of the time some tiny fraction of the system is broken, offline, in a failure state, or some other unknown issue. 500 errors happen with the API sometime, let's see streaming feeds of fail rates from however many endpoints there are. EC2 instances have hardware failures or need to reboot sometimes, let's see some indication of whether that's happening more or less often than normal. Network segments fail or get overloaded... Revealing some of the less pristine guts of the operation (without revealing sensitive details of course) would go along way to being more honest without the bigger risks of saying EC2 in us-east-1 is down!

This is a really interesting statement. I interpreted it several different ways before understanding what you mean.

Yes, I agree with all of these.
I suspect the hidden factor is population growth. You can find numerous examples of things that become less efficient (more difficult/costly yet also crappier) when more people are out there demanding that service. Or not even using the same service, but simply interfering with each other in ways unrelated - getting in each other's way, affecting each other. Cost is not in a linear relationship with population size, or maybe it's population density. There's a kind of friction that increases. Diminishing returns of scale & complexity, you could call it.
I wonder if this current environment is anything like a previous time regarding influence of a voter. For example the vote on Davos seems to have been more influenced by nearly $!M than any number of communications.

> Agreed. Based on their calculator, moving from Dallas to Ft. Worth is a 20% pay cut. That's ridiculous; Dallas and Ft. Worth are essentially a single market. If any difference at all is justified it should be pretty small.

That's... aggravating. You'd think their system would treat all locations in the same Core Based Statistical Area as the same. Better yet, treat all locations in the same Combined Statistical Area as the same; in fact, the definition of a CSA is a set of adjacent CBSAs with interconnected commuting patterns.

And the data is all freely available in machine-readable form from the Census Bureau's website [0], so there's no excuse to not use it.

In fact, just this past week, as a personal project, I've written a bunch of code to parse a whole ton of census data, combining CBSA/NECTA data, data from Summary File 1 (i.e. population, sorted by a number of demographics), and Gazetteer data (for land area, so I can calculate population density). Over the weekend, I'm going to take a stab at including data from the American Community Survey too.

To me, if an employee leaving for normal career reasons comes as a surprise to management, it reflects the communication values in the company culture. I mean, the CEO/HR saying 'I wish you had talked to us earlier' turns the problem on its head.

Retention isn't the responsibility of employees. It's management's. The appropriate wish would be that the CEO/management had checked in with the employee earlier. Without checking in, there's no way to establish a relationship of trust that is necessary when it comes to initiating career decisions.

The CEO/management coming to your cubicle a few times a year just to see how you were doing and offering 'If you ever start thinking about leaving us, let me know so we can talk about it' might overcome the worry that announcing a resignation triggers retribution. Yeah, doing so would be a lot of work and if it isn't done then it isn't important.

They took much more than they have given (which the source code licence allows them to do, even if it's morally wrong). Claiming they never gave anything at all is incorrect.
