Do exactly the same animation with js or even css as you did with flash, and it will use more battery. Disabling flash turned off the animations, so obviously it saved on battery, but the reason for flash being a battery hog was how it was used, not an innate aspect of the technology.

Jobs' proposed alternative to flash, html5, did not solve the battery hogging problem, just made it move over to html5. If anything, it made it worse because you lost the quick fix of disabling flash (or rather click-to-play). That's why even iOS devices have ad blockers now, the mobile web is horrible without them.
"...It is bizarre watching other tourists around, how they navigate from spot to spot to get a picture in some of the most famous places on earth without ever stopping to absorb where they were..."

I took a class in photography once, taught by a famous photographer.

About half-way through the course he did a dead stop, turned to the class and said something like "The most important part of photography is learning when to put the camera down and enjoy the moment instead of trying to capture it"

He then took us on a short tour of important life events he had missed out on because he was too busy trying to get the picture.

It was a poignant moment, and a good lesson.

I listen to podcasts for the same reason, especially during my commute and in shops.

Once I get to work I ditch my earbuds and put on closed over-ear headphones (active noise canceling would be nice but I'm too cheap for it).

As is on the smart electronics, which are liable to fail when they shouldn't and won't stop a criminal either way.

If it would be a local switch it would be way more trustworthy in my eyes.

That is your perception, but for example not mine. It all depends on quality of the photo, what it covers, what kind of memories it brings back.

I have above my bed a big panoramatic picture taken from 5000m altitude in nepal in 2008, on a hike around Annapurna massif. Not a single pixel covers any living person nor animal. But it means so much to me, brings so many memories that I smile every time I look at it (actually glad I didn't include my ex-gf in it, fiancee probably wouldn't enjoy staring at her every morning :))

The problem I see, most people can't take half decent pictures (ignoring golden ratio, blurry, lack of general composition etc.) so unless the picture captures something extraordinary, it's not that interesting to come back to it.

Exactly. I'd go further and say the burst capacity is actually a super useful and powerful feature that is very hard to get on your own hardware. Definitely can catch you unaware if you aren't on top of it and can get expensive for some needs, but as you say not hidden at all.

I have a hacky shell script I sometimes use for moderately sized environments that don't have better monitoring setup, it reports the minimum percent of burst balance remaining over the past day, requires the aws cli and parallel:

p)
export AWS_PROFILE=$OPTARG
;;
\?)
echo "Invalid option: -$OPTARG" >&2
;;
esac
done

if [ ! "$AWS_PROFILE" ]
then
echo "-p <aws profile> or AWS_PROFILE env var required"
exit 1

I don't agree with the sentiment that a privileged person has to do more and not equally. Yes, a privileged person has a easier job making changes, but I don't think that means a privileged person "has" to be doing more than others. It's a good deed, but not a theoretical necessity.

Consider yourself lucky you don't have to deal with radeon drivers! This week alone, I had two different kernel panics, one on my notebook and another on my desktop, both of which use radeon (different gpu models), and in both cases radeon was the culprit.

For the record, I think we all agree that this kind of panic is not FreeBSD's fault. Linux support for this kind of driver is more stable and advanced, but, even though I use FreeBSD both for production and personal use, its "expected" case is production server.

I don't have any concrete examples. The bootcamp grads I've met are all working in web dev with fairly limited skills.

Coming at it another way, many of the programmers I've known who work in areas like embedded, high performance, real time, etc. were self-taught, mostly on the job. By that I mean they had some programming/technical expertise and worked someplace that gave them the opportunity to expand their skills through mentoring and real projects. I'm a self-taught developer and I've learned all of my skills that way. But I didn't start with a bootcamp or web development -- I started 40 years ago on mainframes.

I think it's more a matter of time and exposure. I learned high-end computer graphics and mapping/GIS on the job at an oil exploration company that hired me to do traditional business/database stuff but needed people to learn their other systems. I had to learn all kinds of math and new programming skills but I had patient, experienced mentors and the opportunity to work on real systems. I can't imagine learning all of that on my own, from books and online videos, or at a bootcamp, but everyone has different abilities and background.

tl;dr I don't think going from a web dev bootcamp to a significantly different or more demanding technical domain is impossible, but it will take a long time, a lot of work, and the right environment. A CS degree would provide a better conceptual framework to base new skills on than knowing HTML, CSS, and Javascript, for sure. The bootcamp model and mentality -- zero to $100K in six months -- works for web dev for some people because demand is high and you don't need a lot of high-end skills to build sites from templates or hook APIs up. The companies that hire bootcamp grads generally have experienced developers and a process to bring green people up to speed and let them advance.

Those are exactly my thoughts. Long time ago we didnt upgrade Business Systems from XP to Windows 7, you apply the Services Pack for as long as possible. Of coz you should be upgrading now because XP is no longer supported.

A long time ago I thought it was stupid not to upgrade to the latest and greatest. It turns out in business stability triumph over everything else. ( That is assuming you have a decent security measures put in place already )

I'm not sure I can agree with you. To my mind with a private blockchain there is always off-chain trust or contract limiting access to the network. (edit: regardless of the consensus algorithm used).

In order to re-write historic transactions, an attacker would need to convince other participants to accept the new chain as valid and drop the old one, which is would be prevented by the off-chain trust model in the first place.

A powerful "rogue" node that starts producing blocks with different validation rules would be automatically ignored by other validator nodes who would not recognise the blocks as valid, so here again the risk of a successful sybil attack is limited.

Fault tolerance seems to be a red herring here because but I would rather ask you to expand on what you mean.
> have quite literally heard people talking about these things as "the way we'll close the gender participation gap", as in, they'll burn men's careers until things equal out.

How does your quote imply your interpretation of malicious intent at all? If someone believes (rightly or wrongly) that the gap in participation in certain industries is because women feel unsafe participating in those industries from harassment etc, reducing harassment and providing avenues for those women to address that problem would naturally act to "close the gender participation gap".

I wouldn't care to speculate what proportion of the gender participation gap is in fact due to women's experiences of harassment and/or anxieties about such -as I simply don't know, and would prefer to defer to women and the people who research these things-, but there is a pretty obvious and quite benign interpretation to your quote that you are choosing to ignore.

>(though I don't think I can recall any of them, the mind filters them out by now),

Oh no no no. That is not how that works. Coca cola doesn't put up signs, ads, billboards, coaters and napkin holders with their logo on it to get you to stop and think about coca cola.

No. What they do it place their logo next to something that seems happy. Next to someone smiling or put it up in situations where people are happy. Relaxing on a beach? Coca cola flag. Sitting in a cafe with friends? Coca cola coasters sitting on the table.

Slowly but surely, your mind will associate Coca cola with happiness and relaxing.

And when that moment comes when you feel down. Your mind will think. I don't want to feel down. I want to feel happy.

I want happy. I want cola.

There is no such thing as 'filtering' out ads. They are not hoping you can recall them. They are designed to infiltrate your subconscious.

I completely agree with your line of reasoning and I have a few more thoughts on the matter. There are a ton of "soft" problems that arise when building out your stack. Licensing, warranties, and maintenance issues are things that never come up with a cloud provider. Then there are physical problems with building your own cabinet like cabling and power & heat management. The list just grows and grows.

Another big thing that rarely gets mentioned is research into exactly what hardware to purchase and how to configure it. Do you know what compute hardware you should purchase? There are 10s of vendors and thousands of options. What about network hardware? Do you know which switch is the best for your stack?

With a cloud vendor all of these questions disappear.

Even if you make a mistake in your cloud provisioning, it's easy to correct; just shut it down and start over. Make a mistake buying your own hardware and you have to live with it for 3 years or pay purchase more hardware.

I think people tend to forget or ignore all of these costs when evaluating cloud providers. You look at the total bill each month and are surprised that it cost that much. However, the costs for your custom built architecture are likely higher, but they are spread out over more time and more projects.

I don't think Northanger Abbey is a good recommendation for getting into Jane Austen. Not because it's bad, but because about halfway through it takes a David Lodge-style detour into gothic pastiche. Indeed the entire novel is a love letter to the gothic novel (many of the classic tropes occur, but transported to a specifically English context). Great book, but definitely falls on the literary side of the fence along with Emma.

The best introduction, in my opinion, is Pride and Prejudice. Reading it as a purely romantic novel is, in my opinion, a mistake. It has a huge amount to say about class (which is pretty common for Austen) and is paced like a thriller.

The thing with Austen is that the context matters: the Bennet sisters are looking at penury. The mother is determined to avoid it, but going about it the wrong way, and the father is just plain disengaged.

There's also a very strong counter-culture thread through all the books where wisdom and gentility are harder to find the further up the social hierarchy you go. The individuals that everyone admires are _awful_.

Oh yes, and when reading Mansfield Park, bear in mind that "the spice trade" was a contemporary euphemism for slavery.
That's correct. Although here in Germany there are strict regulations for storing health data, so using the commercial solutions provided by the CGM would be feasible. The open source software is just so much better.

Due to the publication requirements/incentives, academia greatly favours those who take on short term low risk research that will likely result in a few quick easy papers. Furthermore, due to the limited positions available in academia, generally only those who are good at this will rise up in academia.

Getting to a point where you control your own research and have financial stability for research that could span 3+ years with very little output (paper wise) is something comparatively few academics achieve. Even fewer of those who have, did so by conducting longer term research. Most academics I know are just trying to produce as many papers per year as they can and do whatever research in their field they can do, to do it.
Thank you for the link. I was not aware of this. It's very interesting.
Yep.

Simple models are great when you have no experience with something. You can grasp a simple model relatively quickly because... it's simple.

As you use the model, you realize its weaknesses. You also gain knowledge about a domain. You learn how to perform with speed, agility, nuance, and expertise.

the model has served its purpose. It is no longer useful, because your personal prowess outgrew it. However, it was useful in the beginning.
Visually, no - it should look the same. For comparison of the code, it will be interesting, even if it doesn't necessarily show everything you can do with Vulkan and DirectX (which has some similar low-level features in recent/latest? version).

> Conversely, people benefit on both sides of the equation; using sex to their advantage or weaponizing allegations like this.

Yes, but the two sides aren't equal. If you have a knife and we have a nuclear weapon, that we can both hurt each other does not mean that there is a balance, or that both sides need equal protection. Women get sexually harassed or assaulted much more than they fabricate allegations for personal gain (and note that this is not what happened in this case), as a woman rarely gains from making allegations, either true or false. So there may be two problems, both sad, but one is orders of magnitude bigger than the other.

I read a recent account on the net in a NSFW forum written by a woman who wanted to have casual sex with a co-worker on a business trip. She gave several very obvious hints to the guy she was interested in with no response.

She finally had to resort to flashing her boobs at the guy to get him to acknowledge and fulfill her desires.

Me personally, it would take that level of chutzpah from a female co-worker before I'd even consider and I still might be worried about the whole thing ending badly. Kind of funny where we're at with male/female relationship dynamics these days.

From a quick glance at that map, the presence of a university skews results one way (N.C. to Boston), the presence of immigrants skews it the other (I'm assuming that's the explanation for the light blue along most of the Mexico border).
First, people have come to terms with this reality; in fact, only a small percentage of discomfort ever get reported regardless of reasons for the man's behavior. Normally, something rather extreme has to happen for there to be any complaint.

Second, those who find it harder to read social cues may just need to follow the rules more carefully. For example, don't try to make romantic or sexual advances towards someone who is in some way (directly or indirectly) subordinate to you.
In practice, it is still easier to grep and edit config files in /etc (often commented), than to look for the needle in a haystack like gpedit, where, if localized, you don't even know exact term you are looking for.
