Stack Overflow wasn't around for sooo long. I remember after it first came about and everyone jumped onboard and it's hard to remember how we lived without it, but before then we had Expertsexchange and blogs from various evangelists from companies and we also had this acronym to live by RTFM... which we did, rigorously. When we didn't understand something, we pestered our professors, consulted other books, Google'd for it or jumped on IRC and asked other programmers who would always be quick to reply RTFM... until you'd been around long enough to proven yourself not to ask questions that could've easily been answered with some rudimentary reading. Before the internet though, it was all books and hacking to see what you could figure out on your own... and if you couldn't figure it out on your own, you were pretty much done.

So then StackOverflow came around and none of us have looked back since.
Disabling services is good, but beware that they may be re-enabled during a software update. Once a service is disabled, you have to monitor that is remains so.
Waste of pins. You would need to quadruple number of pins or so (with a square shape, it may be worth to just have rectangular to just double). It is possible, fairly sure, but not really practical.
The Naples chips also have 4094 pins and do have 8 channels as well as support for 2+ CPUs per board. Maybe these Threadripper chips are Naples chips where memory controllers or interprocessor communication controllers failed QA?

Embedded systems are, in theory, much more straightforward to deal with - they don't have vendor lock-in. Yet. In contrast, the main reason that Windows has a massive userbase is its massive app support, which is a result of Windows' massive userbase.

The next worst is when there are only a handful of search results and the top one is a forum post with replies saying the answer is easily available, and the OP should have used Google first.

The remaining results being archives of that first one.
1. why are you posting on a new account? it is obvious by your edit that you post regularly on here.

2. the article has mostly the same exact info you've posted. what "extreme media bias" are you talking about?

3. you write that their trade secret claims are an "overreach" yet that is only half the story. the judge thought most of the claims were weak, but that there was sufficient evidence to issue the injunction. so there were valid trade secret claims.

> Uber likely knew or at least should have known that Levandowski had taken and retained possession of Waymo’s confidential files. Waymo has also sufficiently shown, for purposes of the instant motion only, that the 14,000-plus purloined files likelycontain at least some trade secrets, and that some provisional relief is warranted while this case progresses toward trial.

So why don't you reveal yourself and explain why you are so pro-Uber? Because it seems likely you have something to hide.

>Additionally, Microsoft abused the update system to download an entire, multi-GB OS (Windows 10) on systems running on Windows 8, "just in case they will want to upgrade". This was very expensive for people on metered bandwidth. Microsoft should separate critical updates from the less critical ones and give users the ability to opt-in for critical updates only.

Why should they do this? And why should they care at all about people on metered bandwidth? What are Microsoft users going to do if they don't like getting a huge bill for downloading Win10 unexpectedly? Stop using MS? Not likely.

When are people going to wake up and realize that Microsoft has absolutely zero incentive to worry about keeping their customers happy?
> exhaustive logs of Autopilot disengagements

That would still be only one slice of the many many situations you need to master, and that Waymo already has. E.g. something as simple as entering and exiting a small roundabout, like that YouTube video showed a Tesla couldn't do. Miles driven by Tesla owners aren't purposefully looking for those situations when they engage autopilot.
Ugh, that. Had it on a Home install some time back.

Best i could tell was that MS was trying to update some drivers, this failed badly, had to be reverted, but that still left the relevant patch in the queue, and so Windows would try again on next reboot.

Finally had to resort to some kind of downloaded wizard from Microsoft to blacklist the patch. Not sure if that will be possible on the education version (or am i confusing it with the more recent S edition?).

> Midnight pizza deliverymen and administrators who decide how to spend resources are not bullshit jobs. They are both helpful and useful.

I appreciate the recognition as a pizza deliveryman. It's actually my dream job. It took me a decade of searching for work that made me happy to find it, and I was as surprised with were I found it as you (and my friends and family) are.

Every day its like I'm food Santa Claus bringing joy and happiness to the whole city. Every day is food Christmas. Everyone is always so pumped to see me when I show up, and that pumps me up. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Every other job I had I had this sense of dread going to work. Hating being there, hating a large portion of my life and wishing for my life to go faster.

Granted I'm still a corporate wage slave, don't have health insurance/care, and prison is my retirement plan (healthcare/housing/food all free, and its not like the old folks home lets you leave whenever you want when you're old and senile anyways). But at least I can be a happy pizza wage slave.
Most likely, organisation that needs this kind of workaround do not have sysadmin that monitor or track JVM updates. They just have inflexible process guardian with a 2 week lead time and at least 1 man-week worth of effort on a specific budget code. Of course the only source of change request would be the developers themselves.

I have seen organisation devolve like that on the database side. At one time you have a DBA team monitoring server, planning for capacity, upgrade, optimising script and owning datamodel. A few years of cost cutting and 3 guys own the datamodel of tens of application, over hundreds of servers, basically becoming a huge bottleneck for the 300+ developers. When adding a column is eating half of your project budgets and adding uncertainty on delivery date, developers become creative. The best of them sneak a way to get DBA access, the others multiplex value in existing columns (Hello, "PROPERTIES" xml column !)

I've had several posts on the front page running on small boxes without issue. At peak I saw 150-200 simultaneous users in Google Analytics. Sitting at the top of the front page for several days would probably see more than that. Putting a Cloudflare caching layer in front wouldn't hurt, but I didn't really need to do anything to prepare.

Alternatively just publish on a hosted blog service like WordPress, Medium, etc.

The first six months or so that I used Linux (1998), I only had a winmodem for my parent's cheap tower (333Mhz Celeron I think; the kind you got for free if you signed a 3 year dialup contract). I taught myself to program based on examples from a book and documentation that was included with man pages, program source code, and long-form documentation (often found in -doc packages). The book was good for basic syntax and a couple working examples. Source rpms (my first system was Caldera OpenLinux) provided working example code. The doc packages (and sometimes man pages) had more detailed manuals. I spent a decent amount of time downloading early TLDP (I think LDP at the time) manuals and various zine issues onto floppies at my school. I wrote a ton of really bad code. My local libraries didn't really help much as they mostly contained documentation on Windows/Office/DOS and languages that assumed those (being in middle school, I didn't know anyone at a college/university).

Over time, I saved up and bought a Hayes modem and got online. As I read source code I'd try to incorporate techniques I saw into my programs. Some of these turned out to be bad. You knew they were bad when they made your life more complicated without any stated benefit (or when the benefit was paper thin). This wasn't explicitly stated anywhere (as I remember it), but it sorta revealed itself.

I prefer to use an older version of SourceTree (and moreover the latest version of SourceTree requires a newer OS version than I am using). People who are using an older version of SourceTree on OS X (macOS) can easily avoid this vulnerability by using the RCDefaultApp preference pane to disable the sourcetree URI.

Not really, autorouting is generally extremely bad. Especially for applications with such high performance criteria. On the plus side the work only has to be done once since later motherboards are mostly just iterations on a previous design.
and half of he time the information you get from StackOverflow (judging by the comments against them) is abstract because it's written by someone who understands what's going on and is being implemented by someone who doesn't. Cut and paste doesn't work when you're trying to take a conceptual piece of code and use it for an actual implementation. You've actually gotta take a minute to understand what it's doing and apply it in real terms.
To clarify a bit - "platform dependent/hard to run code" exists in java land. Docker is good at managing native dependncies.

I'm also assuming folks reading this have had some context around microservices and k8s. Microservices no matter what language are well suited to containers and container orchestration. It's a widely used pattern to have self contained services in containers with some sort of orchestration managing the containers those services are deployed in.

Those "facts" were targeting an audience that have at least some familiarity with containers and the basics of the problems they solve but maybe less familiarity with the JVM (which from my experience is the typical reader on HN).
You may think the nature presumption is wrong. Fair enough. But, humbly, you're too confident in your reasoning if you think your case is so strong that the nature camp must be acting disingenuously.

There are all manner of research findings about the biological differences in the sexes. And reasonable people can in good faith build cases from that research just as you've done from the observable evidence.

Would I be wrong to conclude that you have a strong preference for the socialization explanation? I feel like this debate is held back by the illogical and erroneous belief that a socialization explanation is Good, while the nature explanation, should it turn out to be true, would be Bad. Or, that anybody who believes the nature explanation is themselves Bad or at the very least has bad intentions.

I hate it when people use these scripts and do have a rule against deleting posts that have replies in one subreddit I moderate. There are two kinds of things harmed by this behavior:

* In communities where people buy and sell things, or offer pay for services (e.g. /r/forhire), a glance at someone's account history provides some insight into their likely reliability. It's not much to go on, but that's inherent to doing business with strangers online.

* In many communities, previous discussions are full of useful information for future readers. Removing half of a conversation often ruins that utility.
Why are so many comments about how much people hate Microsoft?

This article isn't advocating for Microsoft, it's advocating AGAINST turning off automatic updates whether that is from a Linux distro, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc.

Just update your device/computer, if you don't like the OS switch, if you want a specific patch etc, maybe that should be run in a VM which is gated. But for 99% of users, do not recommend they turn off auto updates.

Also, remember that if you are reading this you are probably a power user. You are not my grandmother reading an article by a power user with simple enough to follow instructions to f- her computer up. There are multiple user bases, and your advice to non-tech people can be disastrous for them.
You either didn't read the injunction carefully, or you didn't understand it. It's a pretty huge win for Uber.

They don't need to stop working on self-driving cars at all. They just need to ensure Levandowski doesn't work on anything Lidar related, which he already doesn't. The only thing that is potentially a problem for Uber is that they need to use whatever methods to compel Levandowski to hand over the 14,000 documents. If he doesn't, I think the judge's ruling means that they need to fire him, which means the $250,000,000 they paid him goes up in smoke.

A couple of times in the 1990s I 'drove' a steam locomotive [1], with coaches, on the tourist railway not too far from where we lived.

I was about 9 or 10, and was only just strong enough to push or pull the regulator (controls how much steam is allowed into the piston). The driver explained the important gauges, like the boiler water level and pressure, and showed the tiny view ahead which he had to use to look at signals. And the shelf above the firebox, which could be used to keep tea warm.

I believe that Waymo are killing it, but... their desire to not be a car company and just write the software makes me wonder what their plan is to become a serious driver of Alphabet profit.

Unless they have made some real breakthroughs and are managing to somehow keep them under wraps (seems unlikely), optimistically they have a 5 year lead on their competitors.

5 years is a good amount of time to be the only people with self-driving tech, but unless they actually use it to muscle in on some other industry it seems like they will be reduced to just another component supplier when enough competitors eventually catch up.
You might be able to teach someone how to solve differential equations mechanically the same way you can teach someone how to press keys on the keyboard to code a Python script. Yes, it works, but it's specific and the moment something is slightly different it will not work. For someone to be able to work with DEs they need to know how to work with derivatives and integration, and I think it will be worse to not introduce the formal definition of a derivative. Giving just the rules of calculation will appear as magic or arbitrary, and even worse, it may lead people to wrong conclusions (such as operating differentials as if they were fractions because that worked with ODEs). And that's not even entering into all the theory of differential equations, which usually in engineering it does not get much attention (existence and unicity is not that worrying for an engineer, you tend to already know that a solution exists as you did an experiment/saw something/etc).
Sometimes I wonder if the story really means, "competitor finally implements feature X, so they can switch away from you to get features Y, Z, and Q, which they've always wanted and you don't provide".
I actually learnt a lot from the ground up from first principles, which I was lucky to had time for back in the days (like SQL and markup etc.). Unlike today, where everything has to be completed by the end of the day in agile fashion, where I hastily copy/paste from SO.
> lazily failed to enable automatic security updates from Microsoft.

I hope the author knows that this isn't true. You don't just "lazily" not enable automatic updates. It's highly intentional.
I ran into this problem as well. I was in a constant loop where it would try to update, fail, then revert. My bootup time went from one minute to 20 minutes.

I disabled windows updates and haven't had a problem since.

Being someone that regularly uses all three major platforms, Windows 10 has definitely been the worst experience.
In my opinion, they would have sold more if they'd have eliminated the charging cord. Seems like a small, insignificant thing, but for the "tech challenged" the need to plugging and unplugging something can be a show-stopper. Just doesn't work with my parents for example.
For example, my wife had to work from home one day -- fairly rare occurrence -- and it was at that moment at 9:00am that Windows 10 decided to update and reboot with no way to cancel and the entire process took well over an hour.

That should be unacceptable and I don't know why it's not.

I have updates set to download but not install automatically and I periodically manually install them. Microsoft's active-hours thing is BS too as it must be less than 12 hours. I honestly don't care as much if my machine reboots between 1:00am and 7:00am but apparently that's not enough time.
This brings me back to LGA775 - or more specifically, when I wanted to insert an LGA771 CPU into that socket. Cutting off the notch in the motherboard's socket was something I never thought I'd do!

Oh and before anyone goes off trying this, you do need to swap two pins - you can buy a conductive sticker online to make it easy. I just upgraded to i7 6 months ago - you'd be surprised how well a Xeon x5470 (4 cores @ 3.33 GHz, 12MB cache) can stave off the need to upgrade. I'm not a gamer, though.

I haven't used SO that much, so it didn't change much for me. I started in 1990. Best resource was the library. University libraries were best. I learned a ton from typing in those BASIC listings in magazines. When I got a modem, I could find some harder to find info on BBSs, Prodigy, or Compuserve. That was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, though. It took like a year or two for me to find a good reference manual on VGA adapters, for example. Finding a txt file like that was like finding treasure. Now I don't have one main resource. Just Google. The main value I get from SO is debates about best practices on specific topics, e.g. stuff like "fastest way to rip a file into an array of structs in .NET".

The History of the Entire World
The pro version lets you update manually; it's a setting and doesn't require you turn off services (I know because that's what I do).
It's funny that I see the general sentiment over Windows 10 to be the opposite of Python 3. "Everyone" is mad Microsoft pushed Windows 10 too hard, meanwhile "everyone" is trying to get people to adopt Python 3 and wondering why it took big name libraries so long to convert.

It's a big problem in tech, trying to get people to update. We might like to think of ourselves as progressive, but a lot of people in our world tend to be very conservative and resistant to change. Microsoft knows that as well as anyone else. The only way to ensure people are using the latest version is to stop giving them a choice. You can't always rely on people making the best choice for themselves.

That sounds super authoritarian, sure, but the nice thing about technology? Microsoft isn't the only game in town. They can do whatever they want with their platform and you're free to leave. You don't need a passport, or any more money, or really even any additional knowledge at this point. You're only locked in if you choose to be locked in.
