Disrespectful to who or what? I'm sorry, but Terry's gone. There's no entity left to suffer if his legacy does not match what his desires were while he was alive - nor even to be the subject of the possessive "his".

In my opinion, the only valid positive outcome of respect for the dead can be in benefits to the living - who may benefit from either disrespecting the dying wish, or alternatively from the expectation that their own dying wishes may some day be fulfilled. That's definitely a debate.

I do think they made the right call here, though.
Not a client suggestion, but if you want to run your backups unattended but not keeping the server running all the time, you can use the rtcwake command to make it sleep and then wake up at a certain time automatically. My NAS (an atom board) wakes up every three hours, syncs a git annex directory with a remote node and goes back to sleep. Very efficient.
On the capacitive touch iPhones these functions use a combination of the power button and volume rocker instead.
Find the subset of the market who will go with you, and work your way up the market (down the riskiness scale) as you build reputation and market awareness.

It's tricky because simply being a startup is a brand negative as you try to sell to increasingly conservative customers.

Not so. Assuming by "ranked choice voting" you mean IRV (the term ranked ballots doesn't say which algorithm is used to aggregate those ballots into a group decision), Johnson would be eliminated at the first step as he has the least votes. A Condorcet -compliant single winner voting system would likely elect Johnson in your example, as he seems to represent the best middle ground given the presented ballots. In actuality, voter preference is rarely so linear (one dimensional).

I think one of the best outcomes of a competitive CPU market is that the artificial limitations Intel introduced to segment their CPU market are going to have to die.

It's pretty clear that now AMD is speed competitive, people will look at features and this artificial segmentation will push more people to AMD.

Eg, from the article:

You may notice the Silver and Bronze tiers of Xeons are gone, as are the -M SKUs. This leaves the workstation parts crippled, you can’t get more than 768GB per socket on parts meant for heavy memory intensive tasks like CAD, FEA, and modeling large data sets.... AMD’s Epyc on the other hand can put up to 2TB in a single socket, 4TB with 256GB DIMMs versus Intel’s 756GB, an artificially enforced cap so DIMM side is irrelevant.

Also, the Xeon 8180 is $10,000?! I used to spec servers, and I don't remember seeing CPUs anywhere near that price. Is that common in the workstation market?

Why Hiring for Cultural Fit Can Thwart Your Diversity Efforts
ETH Zurich would like a word with those folks.

It's the first university I think off for engineering, I mean they have 20 odd Nobel prizes from students and profs.

Not to mention the hundred or so other world class universities.
I can vouch for this.

About 15 years back I was living in a rural area of New Hampshire and got the "bulls eye" mark on my leg. Never saw the tick in this case but ticks and bites were common around there.

I promptly went to the doctor to get a course of antibiotics and never had further health issues.

Now I'm in rural Texas and surrounded by fire ants. I need to rethink my life choices.
Instead of the workers doing the work, they will move to maintaining the machines that do the work. Or they will move to QA to correct imperfect automation or to increase quality in general. These jobs are less physically demanding and less risky, so I'd consider them "better".

I follow some websites casually, usually daily, to get an idea of what the numbers are showing me. It's just a ritual I go through in the mornings before going to work.

When I want to see where we are temperature-wise, I go to http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/ for the latest satellite monthly temperatures.

The What's Up with That? website (which is strongly biased towards the "denier" side of the debate) has a great collection of graphs related to arctic and antarctic sea ice: http://wattsupwiththat.com/reference-pages/sea-ice-page/

I go to http://spaceweather.com/ to watch the sunspot numbers (just for curiosity sake), http://sealevel.colorado.edu/ for sea level information, and http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostu... to see if we're in an El Nino or a La Nina (or somewhere in the middle).
Right now I am using this data: https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/station_data/

If you really want it to look more traditional, you could do:

NT.new = lambda **kwargs: NT(42, 'foo')._replace(**kwargs)

Now you can make NT objects like so:

nt1 = NT.new()
nt2 = NT.new(b='bar')

You can call it something else if calling it "new" makes you feel weird. (I'd call it something else, but naming things is hard.)
It is. Which leads me to question the OPs comment.
This line:

> Intel doesn’t want to be put in the position of admitting they are charging significantly more for a new product that runs about half the speed of their cheaper competition.

Unfortunately, people are locked into the Xeon line - so it doesn't matter a ton for now. In the coming years if AMD can keep up, they'll win - over and over time.

The facts are also that it is hard to migrate, and that immigrants normally have to be highly educated.

By "native" you don't mean aboriginal, do you? At the end of the day we are all just people, and it really shouldn't matter to any of us where they were born as long as they are moral and respect laws.

Whenever a movement takes root, an ecosystem jumps up that attempts to productize and commoditize it. We're seeing the same thing with DevOps, which is being sold as CICD, ignoring the cultural bits that make CICD effective (in fact, if you do the cultural bits, you'll probably end up recognizing the need for CICD at some point, regardless of whether you included it initially).

Peeling back the layers, a lot of these philosophies include principles that have been found in high-performing organizations for decades:

1. Transparency

2. Seeking input from all levels of the org chart

3. Involving stakeholders early and often

4. Constructing incentives around desired metrics

5. Fast feedback

6. Rapid iteration

7. Reproducible processes

8. Constant, systemized reassessment

That last one is where "Agile" has lost its meaning: Hiring certified ScrumMasters® doesn't make you agile. Scrum and the like can be useful frameworks, but if you don't absorb the above principles into the core of your organization (including outside of the IS department!), you'll end up with AgileScrumFall at best.
Since netlify is a traditional static CDN, this would most likely serve to complement that.
> Schmidt was pretty clear in his book that he believes his business success is an indicator of virtue, and that he believes he should use Google and his wealth to intentionally seek to manipulate modern culture. It's a disturbing notion and I've never understood why people weren't more concerned about it.

Google proved that all you need is a colorful logo and a stupid catch phrase ("Don't be evil") to get people to treat you as an infallible, altruistic entity - regardless of the fact that your actions tell a completely different story.

Like Apple, Google has become a religion for their fans. As with all religions, inconvenient facts are dutifully ignored by members of the Holy Order of Goog. I find the worship of corporations even more difficult to grasp than Scientology.

What are the qualities of a good feed?

1. it shows me cool new stuff

2. it keeps me on the site

1 is obvious. 2 is questionable. It could be a consequence of point 1. Or it could be a matter of sneaky manipulative tactics. I am suspicious of platforms' recommendation algorithms. They are working for the interests of the platform, not necessarily mine. (But that isn't the way it needs to be. Recommendation bots independent of platforms could resolve this conflict-of-interest issue.)
2 different markets.

2. immersive room - no go phone

3. games - phone yes(treasure hut, secret messages, 3d avatars, masks)

5. even spacial based apps would be kind awkward with a phone. hold my phone at the wall to watch a big screen TV.

6. gesture based manipulation with a phone?
Back when I was with them, about 2 years ago, there really weren't any part time projects. The one project I worked on I was the second developer for, and most of my time was spent untangling their spaghetti so I could actually get something done.
The benchmarks are out there and well known by now. This article summarizes them fairly: Intel still wins, barely, on single threaded performance. AMD of course ships more cores and more IO for a lower price.

This is an opinionated editorial by someone who knows the market pretty well, and there is a place for that.
Author and Edgemesh employee here:
I think it sits pretty squarely in the 'complimentary' category.
E.g. we've customers who run Fastly, Akamai , Cloudflare etc but add us as well to get increased resiliency, Real User Metrics and edge acceleration. One customer saw a 35% drop in page load time when they added Edgemesh to an already fast Fastly supported site. Enterprise customers use Supernodes to add capacity in via their own datacenters.
Also, isn't publishing something in order for others to "find something wrong with it" a core component of the scientific method?
Yeah, definitely only need a single drive NAS.

What I meant was that a Synology or similar product would not really be what I'm looking for, not because it's not nice, but because AFAIK it's meant to be on all the time, which wastes energy, makes noise, prone to electrical problems (I have very bad electricity where I live, so I don't want to expose my NAS unnecessarily, even with UPS/voltage protectors/etc.)

The good password + SSL is probably a good alternative and since I already use 1Password a strong password is not a problem, however I would love to have a UI for it so I Can easily select folders/files, and either I would need to build it... or get a product that supports it, which is the why of this Ask HN post :)

If you're okay with a Linux server being up all the time, then just get a NAS. I like Synology.

Back everything up to the NAS, then back up the NAS to B2 or something. Synology will do that OOTB. Can't speak to other vendors, but I'm pretty happy with my setup.

It's the same as for any government employee. First, obviously, the law. It's not actually within his power to just write something down and sign it to make it the law of the land. There's a process that has to be followed, of which the comment period is but one step.

Regulatory decisions are also required to, in general terms, make sense and be fair. The new EPA head is currently coming to the realisation that there are limits to his power, especially when he's trying to change rules which had just recently been created: quickly flip-flopping on regulatory issues is an open invitation to be sued by, for example, companies that have based decisions on the assumption of regulatory stability. It's also really hard to argue convincingly to abolish a rule, when the almost unchanged group of people has just made the convincing case for that rule a year ago.

But beyond those squabbles, he is accountable to the people who hire and fire people in his position: the President and Congress. The assumption being that people realise it is the Republican Party who deserves the blame for this disaster of an idea.

I work in oil. Curious to learn more about your experience. What do your apps do? Whats terrifying?
That seems like a bad thing. I'd think that you'd want your language to guarantee an initializer has completed before letting an object/structure/whatever be visible. At least as the default.

I mean, that doesn't even give an object a chance to initialize a synchronization mechanism before it's thrown into the wild where it needs one.

It sounds like initializing fields to zero is guaranteed, but is that flexible enough to generally base synchronization on?

There's no downside. It's only the same as what we did with smallpox and polio. I'm all for it: I'd get genedrives for all kinds of genetically-determined diseases.

What concerns me is how genes affect personality. I don't want a world of geniuses if a side-effect is they're all nasty people. Now I like to think that smarter people are also nicer, on the whole. And violence is often associated with frontal-lobe defects. I would like to live in a happier more secure world, and if that means engineering people to be nicer, less murderous people then so be it. But that's Clockwork Orange territory.
Thanks for the info, that's good news.
I think Agile is a response to the reality that in many organizations writing code is a thankless and cynicism-inspiring burden.

Agile tips the balance and puts the technical team in control of process and expectation management in a way that lets everybody feel very good about how much they got done, regardless of whether there is good code being written or successful product/market fit.

It's also possible to justify quite a bit of architecture debt by deferring to agile principles and punting on systems thinking in favor of finishing a few n point stories, rinsing and repeating.

I'd say that if you have a team that is cynical due to changing requirements and technically naive management (or clients/stakeholders) then agile might be a great approach.

Or, if the sort of predictability and transparency offered by agile is of great value to the organization for some other reason.

In general I think that sprint velocity is a vanity metric that has nothing to do with product market fit or system quality.

The "retrospective" meeting is a nice idea, but the presence of a few complainers/gripers on the team can turn this into a morale-draining blamefest.

I think the two stances are consistent, and the drawing of shapes actually enforces the "draw what you see".

Breaking an object down into its constituent shapes, is based on what you see, rather than the image in your mind. It turns out the mind is really bad at retaining the shape of something, even when we're looking at it.

We "know" what a bicycle looks like, and our mind often skirts over the detail. When asked to draw a bicycle from memory, people are terrible at it[1]. Drawing from memory is like a slightly different task, but when people draw "what they know is there", they look at a scene and remember the objects in it, then look down at the paper and draw them from memory. Not a memory of what the scene looked like, but what it was. Each object in the scene becomes the butchered, bike form memory version of itself.

If you're building the scene out of basic shapes, then you first have to look at what the scene looks like, rather than what it is.

There are some shortcuts and techniques which might seem to go against the purist version of "draw what you see". Knowing the ratios between the eyes, mouth, nose etc. But actually these are based on previous practice in "drawing what you see" (or received practice) and are still taking you away from drawing a "face" and instead drawing a set of shapes - ie "what you see".

And your points are not valid, your point is simply that you don't want immigration. You aren't replying to facts about immigrants and immigration besides that it happens, and that people want it.
