A theatre in New York was showing the 1995 film, so I watched it for first time on big screen on Wednesday, then saw the live action on Friday (first time I can remember going to a film on opening day in New York and having an almost empty audience).

I was prepared for a new interpretation of the material, and that never bothered me because between the films and TV series it's always been a bit confusing to me if there ever has been a cannon story, but have always really loved the match of philosophical ideas of mind and the visual atmosphere (and the spider tanks are just great fun).

Opening sequence of this film I was really excited because it was visually stunning, but 5 mins later I was questioning if I should stay or leave because the dialog was really really bad.

I stayed because I really wanted to like this adaption but I felt like it was 2 hours of my life wasted, I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to watch this, even later when it's released digitally.

Yes, that's a reasonable argument in its favour; I don't necessarily disagree. It's worth acknowledging though that not-cash has advantages (to a robber) in tax evasion/laundering.

Not-cash is probably harder to steal, but I'd have thought it preferable. (To a robber.)
Websockets and WebRTC really are not enough at all, and this is a very widely held misapprehension. Websockets (and their HTTP/2 equivalent) are just a dumb pipe for shifting data - just like a TCP socket, but tunnelled over HTTP. Meanwhile WebRTC defines how to encode and transport real-time media streams over the 'net... but deliberately avoids specifying how to discover or signal the existence of those streams in the first place. In analog terms WebRTC is like a phone line without a phone exchange.

I agree that the open Web avoids silos through URLs and ad hoc HTTP APIs. But this is insufficient for a hypothetical VR universe of immersive services: you don't want the only way for a user to be able to navigate between services to be to 'click a link'. And it's arguably a failure that almost every single web service ends up publishing its data via an incompatible ad hoc HTTP APIs - for instance, given Facebook, Slack, HipChat and Skype all provide supersets of precisely the same basic functionality, how come each has its own proprietary custom HTTP API to do the same thing? Wouldn't it be better if there was a standard open data fabric into which they exposed their data?

The idea here is that VR will suck if it's just a bunch of disconnected apps, and instead you need decentralised primitives for sharing Identity, Avatar properties (e.g. position & orientation), shared VoIP, shared Video, even shared world geometry/assets/physics in order to stitch it together into a coherent experience; both for users or developers.

The web was successful because HTML is so simple, forgiving and flexible - and you end up with essentially the minimum successful viable hypertext system. One could probably limp along with a VR Web which is just a bunch of webapps which happen to have chunks of WebVR UI. But it could be so much more, while still being flexible and forgiving and lightweight. At least this is Matrix's hope :)
> how's the quality?

Good. I record on high-bias Type-A tapes. You still get some hiss and tracks bleed the tiniest bit. But I think it sounds pretty good for the kind of music I'm making.

I've been using the procedural drummer in Garageband as the drummer for some of my songs and with a decent amount of swing it sounds "authentic" on tape.

> Do you find the length of a tape adds to limitations in a way that keeps you brief?

You get about 60 mins of record time per tape so... not really.

I find I like recording this way for many of the same reasons I like writing on my typewriter: zero distractions, low friction between thought and recording.

The restriction of 4 tracks and that I only have a month to record 4 songs keeps me from "fidgeting" with a song. I'm not able to aim for "perfect." It's more ritualistic. I show up on the same evenings in the same space. I begin the ritual by opening my journal and listening to last weeks tracks. I record some ideas, experiment. I end the ritual with a glass of bourbon. I close the book. I've written one song I think is pretty decent so far. Try as I might though they each have little tiny, beautiful flaws. Only so much you can do.
You can inject custom css through a ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.css file
The edit timeout is expired on my other comment, but it just occurred to me that, since you were unfamiliar with what is arguably the most-used IDL today, you may not understand that interface definition language like Thrift defines the interface, not just the objects. You'll have a section like (adapted from the Apache Thrift tutorial file [0])

service Calculator extends shared.SharedService {
void ping(),
i32 add(1:i32 num1, 2:i32 num2),
i32 calculate(1:i32 logid, 2:Work w) throws (1:InvalidOperation ouch)
}

which lists the method name, parameters and types, return type, and possible exceptions. The objects are defined elsewhere in the file (or in an include). The method name is not just a value that is randomly assigned by the developer (and how could it be? the interface has to name the things so they can be referenced).

To be a firm REST religionist, as you seem to be, you must not have worked with it very often, but you can see that an actual IDL, and Thrift is just one of several, would make things much easier than the loose "My REST is purer than your REST" dick-measuring contests.

This is exciting. Let people host their own Instagram profile on their phone.
There's an important distinction here: tech culture versus local culture. The tech cultures of SF and the Peninsula/South Bay have more or less merged. The local cultures are very, very different.

I think in the context of business, it's safe to say that SF is in Silicon Valley, culturally speaking.
It was a fair request to have a key member link to GitLab. Employees can be told what to do. You don't have to comply, but when you get a fair request and you make a big deal of it - you have to be prepared for the consequences. Contractors - no you can't do that stuff; you can't tell them when or how to work... they have a lot of protections.

The CEO request to change the link wasn't unreasonable. Why would a CEO want employees that aren't going to be champions of their own company they work for? However, I do think the author made fair requests to the CEO (like hiring Community Managers) and he might have been booted for not "falling in line". That's messed up.

At the same time - he should probably disconnect himself from the emotions regarding the stock options and ask himself if it's a good deal financially. Seems like it to me.

> We were doing this with a team of sometimes one or two reliability engineers, but we were cheating, because our company culture meant that the engineers who built the systems are responsible for keeping them running, so they would invest their engineering time in fixing the problems along with us.

What advice would you give for an org where the engineers who build systems are not responsible for keeping them running, and everyone on a (much smaller comparatively) infrastructure team is (which is slowly turning into an SRE team by necessity)?

Anecdotally, I've found documentation to be useless; despite documentation being of a high quality, no one refers to it, even after iterating to continue to add information, make it more relevant, streamline, etc.
"IDK but having created a popular project should not be equal to a big innovation in the field."

So you seriously think that "new" is better, then "well done"?

I don't think it makes sense to compare those 2 things and value one higher than the other.
Of what use are innovations, if you can't use them in a "popular project"?
For what it's worth, the F-22 has a similar system. Perhaps it's not such a problem because the aircraft is significantly larger.

I don't know why the cannon door issue is taking so long to rectify but I can guess: Whoever is responsible for the weapons systems can't fix this themselves, it requires a modification to the flight control law, which is handled by a different team and any modification to that system requires extensive testing. That team is likely to prioritize work items that actually impact systems they're responsible for, so the cannon languishes at the bottom of the queue, doing nothing but attracting a storm of blog commentary.

One ought to keep in mind when reading the DOT&E report that it's their job to tear the fighter limb from limb and take the program administration to task for every problem. Of course the general tone is going to be negative, we know the program is behind schedule and over budget. They still seem to be on track to build a multirole fighter that is at least tolerably competent at all of its assigned tasks (even CAS) and that's a win. Maybe it's not the best possible solution but it's what the Pentagon wanted.

I'll never understand the impulse to cancel programs when they're just turning the final corner to completion. I guess that's when they start to gain the highest public profile. There is no magical second system that will solve every problem, and at this point the thing to do is apply lessons learned from the procurement and R&D processes going forward, maybe plan a Block II to smooth out the rough edges. We're about a decade too late to flip the table in a fit of rage and start over.
For some reason they didn't actually link to the talk, which I haven't watched, but presumably actually tries to start answering those questions.

"A full picture of the Mac’s UX design includes advertising, store layout, the purchase process, the box, the documentation, how it feels to hold, the esteem and social meaning of owning it, and so on."

By those beliefs, you'd rather NASA not had bootstrapped the commercial space business that now has SpaceX developing reusable rockets.
...unless it is Uber, then you can say whatever you want, apparently. The general perception of what is right or wrong is always so situational, and that is weird to me.

I agree with your comments, and I can see the other side as well (keep ones mouth shut because opening it likely hurts the individual the most), it just seems like the arguments are used so situationally, and I don't understand why. Maybe it is in our nature to be inconsistent?
Actually that's changing - PowerShell Core works anywhere .NET Core does (including OSX and Linux).

SF's a great place to visit and a terrible place to live. Among the reasons I've chosen to stay in South Bay:

1) My rent is half as much.

2) I don't get stuck on a shuttle bus on 101 for 3 hours/day. Commuting eats up all the time that you'd use to take advantage of SF's (admittedly superior) nightlife & cultural scene.

3) There's greenery in my apartment complex.

4) There's no shit on the streets.

5) I can walk outside and it will be warm and sunny. None of this crazy fog or "the coldest winter ever was a San Francisco summer".

6) It doesn't take a half hour to find a parking spot. (For those who say "Don't own a car in SF" - you're right, but this doesn't solve any problems. Public transportation outside the BART corridor in SF sucks, it takes as long to get from the Sunset District to downtown as it takes to get from the South Bay to Downtown, and the only reason you need to spring for Instacart/DoorDash/Uber is because you don't have a car.)
I suppose our world could function without antibiotics, but not without the transistor ...
But that's the thing. They mixed up so many elements from the original movie and series it doesn't ask the same questions at all. Here we have two people whose brains were put into bodies and reprogrammed. This is not the case with the original, where you have a different mind of sorts that doesn't actually need a body and isn't bound to a brain. And at the climax, the answer to "join me" was "yes", but this movie had a "no".
I have had the prototype up for about a year now. I am just trying get version 2 out the door in the next month or two.

That your NPR question has a "correct" answer says to me that you value working in a homogenous team. Some others value heterogeneity.
What's your stock reply when someone asks, "Couldn't that just be a subreddit"?
While I'm risking jumping in on the "me too" bandwagon - I don't think this is how it works. Perhaps Google is large enough for Broadcom to cop a different attitude with, but nothing about large hardware vendors makes me believe they think like you say.

I think more likely what is happening now are some execs and lawyers @ bcom HQ right now trying to figure out if they can sue Google over any of this. They likely will not, but I'm sure they'd play hardball with any small player and at minimum cease doing business with them. While I've not dealt with bcom directly myself, I can say this opinion comes from experience.
Are you considering RTP in North Carolina? How's the software scene in NC?
FTR, this is about "remote direct memory access" in a "set of data plane libraries and network interface controller drivers for fast packet processing" in Linux.

Interesting. Yes, tolerance for risk varies with each investor, but isn't there supposed to be a consensus way that the market prices risk, on average? I'm just throwing out terminology here, but what about "risk-adjusted return"? Other things being equal (which they never are), prices should be lower for higher-risk investments, to compensate for the risk taken.

So I'm wondering how enterprise value prices risk compared to market value.
I'm pretty sure a lack of coffee is the real issue at hand. Google made more architecture to give peers an edge via two different Espresso shots to test

I sort of thought the opposite, that the client libraries are what is getting in the way.

I have spent 10000+ hours doing design and I've got to say that my leap into code (especially backend) has been incredibly eye-opening. I've realized how so much of design is ego-driven, how design studios design for design awards, and what a crime it is that so many technical minds are steered to work on problems more related to fashion than accessibility or productivity.

Designers should definitely code. Too much of design is siloed in fanciful thinking, and fancy people competing with fancy people over fancy things perpetuate delusion.
And there's not even a credible proof-of-concept patch.
Nice trick to discourage breakpointing and stepping through code.

"We defined and employed SDN principles to build Jupiter, a datacenter interconnect capable of supporting more than 100,000 servers and 1 Pb/s of total bandwidth to host our services."

This type of scales boggle my mind. Though I have found I can no longer keep up with all the terminologies popping up every day. Posts like these are my only connection to learning the massive scaling of things to make the modern networks work.

"We leverage our large-scale computing infrastructure and signals from the application itself to learn how individual flows are performing, as determined by the end user’s perception of quality."
Is this implying they are using Machine Learning to improve their own version of content delivery network?
Definitely. The job was a terrific learning experience, and I've never had to wear as many hats as I did there. It was excellent experience and I saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime turnaround opportunity. The point is, you need to ask about the basics so you understand what you're getting into.

In the sector I'd cite AnandTech and Evo as superior sources of tech and/or auto related content.
Ghost in the shell from Oshii was very much a philosophical movie. I had zero expectations that Hollywood could really do anything that matched it. Just as expected.
That does help, and is welcome. But convincing a team to switch something as fundamental as their shell is an uphill battle. I'm sure PowerShell is great (I've never used it), but shells always struck me as the kind of thing where "good enough is good enough".
I agree. The only reason I say "real" is to make the distinction between publicly stated opinions, feelings, tweets etc. and journalism. Journalism is really the painstaking gathering of information (usually from multiple sources) for every story you write. Among many other things it's also necessary to make clear distinctions between the facts of the evidence and a particular journalists conclusions/opinions reached based on this evidence.

And yes you are correct in saying that this should in no way should prevent or limit people from speaking their minds and stating their opinions publicly.
Well, in fact researchers recently found that second-hand smoke probably isn't harmful. And that's exactly the point, things that some people think are settled are far from settled. And that kind of attitude invites suspicion. Why are you so concerned by skeptics?
The Ethiopian government has been engaging in pretty brutal repression for the last year or so. Much like the famine in the eighties, this one is also tied up in systematic deprivation of groups outside of the ruling elite.

Just run a dynamic dns server and have the client update that. Then in the client software default to using your dns infrastructure but let the user override, so when you go out of business they could set up their own dyndns and use that.

There is still the security problem of course.

Do you know who CoreLogic is? They're a data aggregation company. They take available data and generate statistically actionable reports. They didn't gain anything from the fraud that took place here, besides that a report was generated from the potential lease.

CoreLogic doesn't have leasing offices. I don't know if you read the article. That statement is incredibly ignorant.
I think these are good points about cstore_fdw and real-time analysis (although we don't have personal experience with this).

The usual thing that prevents indexes from scaling with large data is that inserts slow down as soon as the index BTrees can't fit into memory. TimescaleDB gets around this problem by auto-sizing of tables: we start new tables as old tables (and their indexes) grow so large that they can no longer fit in memory. This allows us to have tables that are not so big that inserts become slow but big enough that queries don't have to touch many tables (and are thus efficient).

However, as data sizes grow, you may want to convert data to column-stores to save disk-space though, as you allude to. We are looking at how best to do this and the best "archive" format to use. Stay tuned.

Anecdotal, but I had a suspicious mole looked at, the doctor couldn't decide, got a second opinion from their colleague, he still was only 90% sure. And that's a relatively simple example.

But as a positive note, I love that science fiction has become mainstream.

One hypercar I found extremely appealing was the Jaguar CX-75 using a turbine powerplant. Those are banned in every racing series. The potential though is staggering, mating the best of electric motors and potential powerband efficiency. Drool. Sorry.
