Works well for us, docker/container native so every step in a pipeline is a persistent volume with the environment changing based on what image you need.

> For reference, I don't store pirated content, rather content that I have a license for, but cloud providers have no way of knowing that.

I'm pretty sure that they just assert that the backup is illegal even if it came from a licensed copy. One argument (used by Nintendo IIRC) is that the official media/servers are too reliable to require backups, and thus anything purporting to be a backup is really for another purpose and thereby not exempt under the statutes authorizing backups.

Consider what Soundcloud, which ist hosted on AWS, payed for this. The cheapest public offer from AWS is 0.05$/GB for OUTBOUND traffic (for at least 350TB/month). If you consume more, you negotiate directly with AWS.

Lets assume they pay 0.005$/GB, which results in a 4500$ bill(@ 0.005/GB) or 45000$ bill(@ 0.05$) for Soundcloud.
I agree that you should choose your job wisely. The author claims that it's best to be open to a lower pay in the first 10 years of your career. It's similar to everything actually. You gain your reference experiences and build up your image within your world and then expect higher pay. Nobody will give it to you just like that.
> Custos embeds imperceptible bitcoin private keys in the digital files, with different keys for different advance copies of a movie or ebook. (...)

> At the same time, Custos makes a piece of free software that screens movie files for these private keys and markets the screener to content pirates. Pirates now have an incentive to check pirated movie files in case they contain a key. If a key is detected, the pirate can claim the bitcoin bounty—usually between $5 and $10—and is free to keep it. But once a bounty is claimed, Custos is alerted, and can begin the process of figuring out the origin of the leak.

This is really clever! A very interesting social experiment with some game theory dynamics on the way.

I agree that you shouldn't get too attached to your employer, but this is way too cynical. Employers are people like everyone else, with individual personalities, and aren't typically soulless profit maximizers.
I did a job application once where as part of the application you had to solve a simple math problem that was displayed at a specific URL[1]. The catch was that the math problem was different every time and expired in half a second, so the only way to do it was to script it. I guess its a time-based proof of work kind of thing.

[1] IIRC, the URL would give you a simple arithmetic formula to solve and you would hit another URL with the result, something like /foo/<result> and it would give you a code. You then included the code in the application.
>> No, rewriting all of that Lisp code would be impossible.

I thought the lisp was written in C and so moving it to Rust would be useful. Perhaps it's written in itself. If that's the case then my bad. I did not mean rewrite the list parts in rust.
I don't think you need a good understanding of C++ to appreciate these features per-se. Only if you want to make a statement like "X is an improvement over C++ because of these".

For example, enforced const-ness/immutability, option types and automatic ressource management (RAII) are also already standard in modern/best-practice C++ code. In general I agree that there are a lot of nice languages features that rust currently has which would also be nice to have in the c-family languages.

There's a valid point here about the asymmetry of trade in services, and the Chinese firewall definitely also functions as a means of developing local social media businesses as "import substitution". But I don't think it applies here. You could apply it more to the French requirement that a certain minimum percentage of TV be in French.

(The outcome of the last round of ""extreme porn"" regulation was the opposite: local producers were closed down, but of course people can still import the stuff)
Hey Hackers,

We made the Swift Wallet. It was based on our previous design, the Vinco Wallet, which was so minimal it was basically a card holder.

We designed this wallet to bring about a new kind of wallet. Too many wallets are either small pouches, like our old wallet, where you have to fold you notes or overly bulky traditional wallets where everything gets lost inside them.

With this new type of wallet, we're bringing about a change in the way people see their wallets. They're no longer a nuisance that gives you back pain, they're a slim, modern piece that has more utility than their old wallet ever did.

The Swift lets them get to their items as fast as possible and in the most graceful way. You can see all your notes, you can pick the exact card you want and never stop at contactless terminals with the outer unshielded pocket.

The best thing about the wallet is that it looks amazing, let us know what you think in the comments. We’ll be here all day to take questions!

Cheers,

Ibbe @ Vincoe

One of the cool things of machines like these is they have a "presence".

Your generic server sits somewhere on a rack. Your supercomputer is a seemingly endless field of racks.

This one is a large black box that exudes computing power.

I only wish they made the front panels more distinctive between iterations.
I don't think that's really accurate or fair.

In my experience, you learn very different things in every workplace. Could be a different language or framework. Could even just be a different team arrangement or workflow.

Bottom line is this: if you feel like you're not learning and growing in your current environment, why stay? Better yet, why would anyone expect you to stay?
It's a well-populated space. If you're going to enter it, you need to be clear about differentiation.

We picked our CI solution because it was the only cloud offering we could find that supported Bitbucket and also allowed us to set up our own fully-custom environments to run against - without Docker.

Sadly, it took about a week's worth of research to figure that out. And I'm a bit concerned that in this crowded market they'll go out of business and leave us high and dry.

Aside from the negative or comedy use cases, I could see this being used in video games, and probably other similar applications for narratives; based on the methodology it sounds near trivial to sync it up to any audio.

> Board games are so so so good these days, just avoid Monopoly. ;)

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monopoly_(game)&o... Monopoly was intended as a way to demonstrate that an economy which rewards wealth creation is better than one in which monopolists work under few constraints.

In other words and put much more harshly: Monopoly is played the right way if after a short time one player is happily winning and all the other ones are really angry.

They aren't supposed to. You can't build an economic model based on individual free-will and self-determination, then suggest that corporations have some higher duty.

The mechanism for this is government regulation - If the government doesn't ban or regulate these type of products, the money's on the table for whoever will take it.

You'd be setting yourself up for a world of problems.

1.You wouldn't recoup your time investment on each app for at least 2 years.

2.The upkeep with each of those apps during that time would eat up significant portions of your time.

3. If an app did go down for whatever reason the firm could choose to cancel your arrangement. If that happened in the first 12 months you'd really be sunk because you have no one else you can sell that app to.

The person to whom you're responding explicitly drew a distinction between discussing a raise with your boss vs going to your boss with another offer that you have secured.

I can see the importance of that distinction. To put the relationship in a different context: Imagine the difference between a girlfriend who says, "Hey, we need to discuss the amount of time you spend playing video games. I'd like you to pay more attention to me." vs "Hey, I don't like the amount of time you spend playing video games, so I've been talking to this new guy about being my boyfriend. Your move."

When you learn the difference and have spent over ten years on a C-only project and still have the same opinion, I'll take you a bit more seriously.
I don't know the answer to the mix old/new compilers question but it looks like it's only the directory structure of the compiled artefacts that's important rather than the directory structure of the source code. It looks like you could keep all your source in one directory (unlike Java IIRC) and then compile it with `-I` and `-P` options.
I'm truly frightened by this. We are still struggling with how to deal with the "post-truth" world, and that's with the assumption that pictures are hard to fake, video even more so, and audio nearly impossible.

Fake news is going to reach a fever pitch when "speeches" of Obama leak saying, "We have to take all the white people's guns". And conversely, when a genuine "grab 'em by the pussy" leaks again, a huge chunk of people willfully will not believe it.

Seems possible that we could come up with technological and journalistic solutions, given enough time, but it's moving too quickly.

Winter solstice is December 21. It makes sense to have gatherings around equinoxes and solstices since they are turning points in the year.

That being said, most atheists come from religious regions or families. They consider those holidays their heritage and celebrate them. Christmas is seen equally to, let's say, Halloween. Nobody cares about Samhain but they care about candies. Nobody cares about the birthday of Jesus but they care about receiving their family and giving them gifts.
We are in the realm of opinion, so I want to offer a contrasting one. We had a great time with it, and yes, it was a one-off thing. The scenarios are about $15 a pop which compared to taking the same group of friends to a movie is a bargain.

How would you find all files to download without scraping all Soundcloud pages?
All you can eat is actually quite specific, but for knuckleheads like yourself it is usually clarified in writing in other places. It's all you can eat while at the establishment.. not all you can take. They don't advertise it as "unlimited" either as many places in busy markets have a posted time limit. This is clearly part of their terms of service as most buffets I know both clearly state that you can't use takeout containers and many have a posted price for taking out food by the pound or piece. You are not digging yourself further dude.

Oh, wow, there's a flashback. Nope, haven't used CGI in almost exactly a decade.

We used to use them for formmail scripts and collecting email addresses for mailing lists on otherwise static websites. Once I convinced that employer to move our clients to hosting that supported PHP (yes, PHP - this was 2006-2007 after all), and to gradually migrate them onto content management systems, CGI became unnecessary.

because then the employee doesn't know the market rate and the manager can get away with giving a garbage raise. Of course that's going to go down better, it's less work for the manager to dig it out of the budget or their boss

Edit: Made it a little less personal, my grudges are not with you.
> But that's exactly the trick. Stuff that people consider very expensive and important (like laptops, homes, etc.) will always get scrutiny. Marketing departments in those areas look for different solutions. But if some companies can make everyone pay 2x for cheap things you use daily, that still is 2x the profits for them (and a 2x expense for you, which you may not notice because it's made from small amounts distributed over time).

I really just don't feel it's a big deal and I tend to avoid big brands. It's not time efficient to scrutinise every small purchase anyway when most of those kinds of products are roughly the same. I'm not going to get tricked into spending so much money on toothpaste, shampoo etc. that it will have an negative impact on my life.
