OK, that's a bit off-topic, but an interesting question regardless, and I've been thinking about this lately. I've finally decided on something some time ago, though my opinion on the matter could still change.

I think that we are in perpetual evolution. Our memories are perpetually updated, and we make our choices based on our experience (and probably some biochemical mechanisms that affect the decision making process, probably by changing how those memories are accessed, among others.

Aren't we dying everyday, for someone else to wake up in our place the next day? To put it more bluntly, our consciousness is interrupted for the night, a "garbage collector" running, and we "reboot" the next day. What about this night you can't remember because of alcohol? Someone was here, controlling your body, yet it wasn't you (and to repeat myself, the one writing this - me - is probably going to be slightly different than the one reading the possible replies - "me" as well - and that's OK).

What I find valuable is experience. Period. It takes a huge amount of energy to train a child, and the goal is for him to be beneficial to the society (think tribe/species if you want) in return. He will be able to pass on part of his experience to the next generation, thus improving the pool of knowledge for the society (this is a general rule, it can work with genes as well).

Thus, jumping a bit to conclusions, I value my experience and memories more than this body. And I would gladly part with it if it could mean a longer life span for them. Even existing only as an "archive". But I consider that I have still much data/experience collection I can do before passing out. And there is no way to pass this data on.

If you think about it this way, a copy is a fork, and is likely to preserve experience: that's good. And cooperation is a given if the two share this idea.
Moreover, I consider it to be a rather optimistic and cheerful way of viewing things, it can be comforting at times; And I feel like some robot apocalypse or similar is simply a non issue, as long as knowledge is preserved.

That's the thought process you can have if you think too much about issues like teleportation.

Now, I need to get back to work on my brain scanner.

Seriously though, what is your opinion on the matter, now that I exposed my current one? I would be curious if you could "share your experience" with me :P

This. Many of those different jobs are not entry level jobs, and you need to wisely pick an entry level job that will best serve as a stepping stone to the work you want to do.

For example, many young people aspire to manage, but you first need understand those jobs and processes you want to manage before you can effectively manage them.

Rates in California would be double that or more, depending on which tier this put the user. For me, my old 8-cpu Xeon server cost me ~$50/month in electricity so I decommissioned it, however, this would also push me towards wanting to get solar panels for the house.
I haven't quite pinned down why I have this problem on social media but not other discussion sites or the real world. I suspect that social media, or more specifically Facebook is different in some way, and I just haven't been on Facebook long enough to properly learn how to deal with it.

It is also possible that something about Facebook makes it harder to deal with, and I simply have left other platforms that have that problem to that degree, and I just haven't left, hoping that I will get it figured out.
> If you want Ruby, the habit is to go find someone's "pre-configured" alpine-ruby image (for instance)

I think the habit for most folks (and the best practice) is to use one of the "official" Ruby images[0]. Similar official repositories exist for many server daemons, language runtimes, and command-line tools[1].

> My understanding is that most public image repositories are unmoderated.

To the best of my understanding, the official images are maintained by Docker folks, or people associated with the upstream projects, or some mixture of both.

> most Dockerfiles are built on opaque images registered with an image registry

Far from opaque, the official images are typically well-documented, and the source code is available from the various Git repositories linked to from the library.

So yes, while it's true there are a lot of public images out there with questionable provenance, there's usually a solid, well-supported foundation to base your own images on.

Sorry, not typing -tcp on linkerd-tcp was completely a typo on my end.

> I think that statement actually refers to Finagle itself being written in Scala, so if you want to use it you have to at least hoist your own apps on the JVM and integrate Finagle in them. Finagle is essentially client-side and requires integration into your app tightly coupling the two.

Thanks, this is the answer I have been looking for.

In my mind, "well-ordered" is fully distinct from "well-orderable" :) but "counted" is unambiguous, you're right.
Although we do (mostly) agree, I don't think it's disengenuous. Here's why - other businesses/industries have been bailed out, including the following. Reasonable failures are tolerated, but systemic ones are not - regardless of the industry:

- Steel Mills (in 1952)

- Railroads (most notably Penn Central in 1970)

- Car companies (all three in the last 40 years)

- Manufacturers (various)

- Utilities (mostly nuclear plants/companies)

- Airlines (post 9/11)

My impression is that most people believe the government will step in before any industry is ruined (assuming a quick decline, not necessarily a slow one over many years).
I'm pretty sure that a nomadic lifestyle, massive technological disadvantage and vulnerability to pathogens played a bigger role in that than psychedelics, but feel free to prove me wrong if you have a credible source on what you are implying.
Oddly, I recently went the other direction. In the past I've built some storage servers similar to this, and 6 months ago I took 6x 2TB laptop drives in a 6 drive "mobile rack" that fits in one 5.24 bay in my desktop (IcyDock MB996SP-6SB).

Loving it!

Now, my storage needs are fairly modest in comparison to the author. I'm running with RAID-Z2 and at 44% capacity. I have this unit in my work workstation, at an external office. It is quiet and cool.

I used to have a big house with a room I could put a bunch of computers in. I moved to a smaller house, but more importantly I was just tired of managing a business-class infrastructure at home (VLANs, multiple APs, UPSs, batteries, patch panel, servers, etc).

So I copied a backup of my storage server from an off-site box, to S3 with Glacier, copied the primary to this ZFS array on my workstation, removed junk I was just holding on to, and now my home infrastructure consists of a Cable Modem and Google WiFi mesh. Huge improvement in maintenance!

Here's a blog post I wrote about one of the previous incarnations: https://www.tummy.com/articles/ultimatestorage2008/
The web is used radically differently now than it was 22 years ago in 1995. Also, PHP wasn't designed to be the platform for large code bases maintained by multiple people. It wasn't really designed at all, as its creators have said publicly.
Which operator?
Unfortunately, that is not a Chaitin Omega, since the notion of program length in that paper is flawed. In particular, it counts a 0 or a 1 provided as binary data in the program as adding 7 bits of length to the program. Later papers by Calude fix this problem, while reducing the number of computed bits to 43.
It really depends on the day. Sometimes I've got basically nothing to do whereas other times I'm overloaded and there basically isn't a moment I'm not. It's hard to figure an average.
My wife has a PhD and ran up to date Firefox with noscript, Flash disabled, and ad-blockers, uses webmail, and doesn't install software or download executables in general. She still got hacked, due to a bug in Firefox that was exploited despite having noscript and Flash disabled.

How, exactly, would you have educated her?
It is definitely far, far more than just what particles exist. The Standard Model describes how those particles interact with via the three forces other than gravity. The particles themselves are modeled using quantum fields and the properties of particles arise from operators on those fields. Those operators don't work unless the field is continuous.
The operators will have a spectrum which describes how the corresponding observable is quantized.

That's not really ELI5, but remember learning derivatives in calculus? Just like you can't take the derivative of a function which isn't continuous, you can't use the Standard Model if spacetime isn't continuous.
Well you can simply use GKE and that is all managed for you. Seemed to work quite well for Pokemon Go as they scaled out massively.
Pre-, during, or post-burnout?
This is just my speculation, but I think the utility of facebook declined when external linking took over user created posts on facebook. I don't go to facebook because I want to know how my friends feel about political news; I go to facebook because I want to know what they are up to. I think Instagram and Snapchat got this right, because even though you can regram something or paste a screenshot, that's not the default way to interact with the platform.

I would check facebook a lot more often if they had an option to hide all external links / images. I know there are browser plugins that enable this but they're not on mobile.
No programming language's HTTP/RPC stack supports SRV records. They are just not a thing. Changing your microservices to know about SRV is not a great solution either. Using something like linkerd frees your application from concerns like how discovery and transport is done. SRV is also not compatible with most components out there. e.g. you can't tell memcached/redis to resolve SRV records. You should take a look at how Kubernetes also does not do SRV records, instead it creates an IP address per service for intra-cluster communication. A/AAAA names work with legacy applications and are backwards compatible. That's pretty much why open source community has not been rolling out a major solution based on SRV.
> Aren't we dying everyday, for someone else to wake up in our place the next day? To put it more bluntly, our consciousness is interrupted for the night, a "garbage collector" running, and we "reboot" the next day.

That.. is eerily similar to something I heard or read from a character in a game/anime/book/show very recently, but the name escapes me..

Maybe it was from Tides of Numenera.. You should definitely check out that game as well as SOMA. There's also a charming-yet-mindfuck'y anime called Kaiba. They go pretty deep into the idea of consciousness, identity and free will.

By the way, is there a name or term for that, uh..idea? That our self "resets" in sleep?

Well… the device being a server instead of a client :D

I mean you could make it a client, sure, but I think that kinda defeats the point.
Job offers are by definition something someone pays others to do because (1) they don't want to do it themselves; and/or (2) it's not an effective use of their time to do it themselves. Yet, those jobs still need to be done.

Given both (1) and (2), but especially, (1), we likely will always have jobs that people will consider terrible jobs because someone has to do it and the person needing it done has the money to pay for it to be done.

It's great if automation solves some of those needs, but this idea that undesirable jobs simply shouldn't exist strikes me as absurd.

"A [real or imagined] respect for animals that led to a reduction in waste product."

is not the same as

"Maximizing profit by turning undesirable or inaccessible meat into nuggets in a potentially dangerous process."

I don't think you're wrong to mention them in the same sentence, but it's definitely disingenuous/uncharitable to compare peoples' sentiments on the two apples-to-apples.
I apologize for the late reply, I have been out of state making a pitch, and enjoying the scenery after it was accepted.

I can see your viewpoint. I do remember the anti-linux Microsoft days, and I did not enjoy them as a company back then. However, I do think viral is an apt description of the license, despite the objections in this thread. As I mentioned before I left, I think viral is a good description of GPL. Viral is a feature, not a consequence. If you choose GPL, it's because you want that viral nature. If you're a company, you'll have to weigh that license against your business concerns.

Zealots may say something like "every piece of code should be open source in all circumstances", but pragmatists will realize that some code just doesn't make sense as open source, and making all derivatives of that open source.

So, long story short, someone who is in charge of open source consulting should understand better than anyone else that the GPL isn't appropriate for all companies. If the changed code is patented, GPL isn't appropriate in any circumstance, like it or not.
> But how does Apple’s flagship desktop system compare to new, much less expensive, AMD Ryzen based systems? Well, according to this test from Tech Guy, extremely well.

That statement doesn't seem to follow the rest of the article. The Mac Pro doesn't compare that well at all. In the test provided it performs significantly worse while being 3.5x more expensive.
Well, I'm not saying your entire post is nonsense, but rather your choice of examples and citations. And here again, the example that you used to refuse believe Mao contributed to the famine or cultural revolution has nothing to do with this discussion. And in your original post, those random success "secrets" you cited really don't help your argument.

This probably shouldn't be too surprising given:

1) Apple's pricing model ('high margin' is an understatement)

2) The Mac Pro GPU was released in late 2013. The 1080 is a much more recent GPU.

This is all before looking at CPU differences.

A DAY IN a SUPERHERO'S LIFE: A.K.A PRODUCT MANAGER
I think it is simpler than that - we like most people because we really don't know them that well, and the inverse si true as well.

We all have quirks that other people might find distasteful. As an easy jump off point, the pr0n habits of people vary wildly, and I'd wager if everyone knew what someone was into... The more you know about many people, the more chance there is that a part you uniquely find distasteful will emerge.

On top of that, the modern world in general, and SM specifically, has melded the public world, the private world and, most annoying of all, the inner world into a single, undifferentiated miasma. All these posts I see of people who can't work with Trump voters, or the religious right, or gay people or whatever shows how this melding causes real problems, even if it alleviates others.

We now know too much about people, and that isn't a universal positive.

Some days almost the entire day. I'll read, watch videos, do some tutorials. But its offset because usually when I do this it's because I'm hung up on something and it just isn't going to get solved unless the ole brain has time to do its subconscious thing.

Although having performance is nice, I don't think people buy Mac computers for performance. It's known that Mac computers are a couple of times more expensive than PCs running Windows for the same performance. I can understand that: I personally wouldn't care if I have to wait 15 seconds or 8 seconds to get an effect in PS rendered. I would care much more if my computer crashes or gets infected with malware or has its hard drive crashed, or wouldn't be able to get support if something happens to it. Windows users have to be much more careful about those issues than Mac users.

Those are the things that Apple computers excel at. And that's from the mouth of someone that uses GNU+Linux.
In the short run, (next half a century) this will be a disaster for the least privileged. In the long run though it will mean liberation from demeaning hard labor in the same way that tractors and industrialization did the same for our ancestors.

Writing a language for fun is totally fine, but it is useful to know that fact when the language is being shared. Am I looking at this language to see if it will be useful to solve a problem I have that existing languages don't solve, or is it just an exercise, or is it an improvement?
Which is not surprising, it's both how much money you make and how you use it.
Let's do a though experiment, and say that it is possible to 'copy' a person.

We live in the future where we all use fancy teleporters. You happily live in Amsterdam and commute to the Bay Area every morning. The way the teleporter actually works is by making a quick copy, deconstructing the object and the recreating the exact copy some place else.
One day you go to the teleporter and realize it's broken. You contact customer service and are totally missing that 9 o clock meeting. Customer support says: "We're sorry but there has been a malfunctioning. You were teleported but not deconstructed properly. Could you please step back in the teleporter so we can deconstruct you?".

Body and self are intertwined in ways we don't yet fully understand. But it will be verry difficult to transfer consciousness. In the case of copying, you are for sure just dying and a new copy of you will be born.

A scarier thought even: Perhaps this is the case when we go to sleep and your consciousness dies and a new one wakes up every morning. Sure would explains why I always have a hard time falling asleep ;)
Throwaway for maximum honesty: I am pretty sure I spend at least 75% of my time "at work" not working. HN, Reddit, messing around with side projects or learning a new language or framework. This has been the case for my entire working life.

I seem to get as much done as other people (sometimes better) so part of me wonders if I'm not as unusual as I feel. Part of me wonders if I should get evaluated for ADHD, since I find it such a struggle to focus on my work. And part of me is just frustrated with myself, that theoretically I could spend like 3 good hours at work each day, get more done, and have more quality time to myself.

Game developer here who abstained from WoW and pretty much all MMOs or Free2Play shenanigans.

Although I happily put plenty of hours into single player RPGs (currently Persona 5 and Breath of the Wild). But those have an ending, and they don't require me to schedule my life around them in order to play them.

In fact they let me drop in and out of them very quickly, since they suspend and I don't have to connect to any networks.
I have large hands, so I 'like' vim escape key being mapped to the actual escape key. I also have 20+ years of muscle memory backing it up. I also do a fair amount of setting up servers or virtual environments and like to have my editor already set up on every machine I touch. I also use caps lock for writing SQL. So yes, there are people who haven't remapped it 'yet' and as long as it's still there, never will.
What makes that a 'language' and not just a program? When I create a 'GameBoard' class in an OO language, I don't tell someone I created a new language.

Doesn't a language have to be turing complete to be a language?
C++ and C are easy to get into a working state, and then you bit by bit discover your mistakes. Rust forces that information up front, and that can be problematic for people who aren't used to it ( and just want to get a back up and running, which is unfortunately too many real world systems).

In the video in the link, it was concluded that the GPU did not affect the test, and it seemed to be CPU-bound.

Actually, to me, the issue is more so that it's not truly verifiable that Photoshop is running the same instructions on Mac vs. PC. A better test would be to use GIMP, and use strace to confirm that the same code branches are being executed.

That said, your statement is correct. A 2017 CPU vs. a 2013 CPU isn't going to fare well, clock-for-clock, given that IPC usually get better. That difference in performance will be exacerbated if the software takes advantage of the newer instruction sets too.
:-) I've been trying to keep the nuance in my comments here. When I said, "I think that if you want to use it for web stuff you very much can," I'd emphasise the, "if you want to."

At the moment a lot of hobbyists are doing web stuff in Rust. Commercially I think usage would be in the same vein as the common pattern of rewriting Ruby services in Go if it starts to limit performance.
This model of Apple/Microsoft comparison is approximately 5-10 years out of date. MacOs has become a sweeter malware target, and Windows has hardened up since XP. Similarly, OS stability is not clearly dominated by one or the other in their latest offerings.

Hmmm my 2013 MBA running El Capitan is indeed very stable, and seems to work reasonably well from photo editing to web browsing.

My 2016 MBP I use at work with MacOS Sierra is less stable than the older MBA. On numerous occasions, the laptop screen would not wake from black, requiring a hard shut down. The touchbar is buggy as hell, and the audio driver would stop working randomly. The trackpad is way less reliable for multitouch as well, and greatly reduces the pleasure of interfacing with the device.
