I never said I am commuting on $5k road bike. I just compared the price of the electric car to price of high end carbon fiber road bike (which I have, but don't use for commuting to work).

I commute on cheap mountain bike. Too many potholes and obstacles, etc for any road bike with 23mm tires. It would get destroyed on first ride to the city core.

You can change the free parts of Android. That's why everyone and their brother can release Android phones, not just Google, and why F-Droid and Replicant can exist.

However, I think you may be correct that some or perhaps most Android hardware is tivoised to not allow you to install derivative Androids. If so, that's a case of what good is a phone call, Mr Anderson, if you cannot speak.

Your comment about syntax sounds like you just want everything to look like C.
I only skimmed the article but I agree with the conclusion. I evaluated both HAProxy and Nginx for a high-volume/low-latency load balancer cluster (500k requests/s) and HAProxy simply beat the pants off of Nginx. It has an extensive and well documented set of configuration options, tooling, and reporting, and it performed flawlessly on production (after much toiling). I couldn't ever quite get Nginx to handle the same load without falling apart at the seams.
Yep. Same problem here.

Author here: Rust is not officially sanctioned at Google, but there are pockets of folks using it here. The trick with using Rust in this component was convincing my coworkers that no other language was right for job, which I believe to be the case in this instance.

That being said, there was a ton of work getting Rust to play nice within the Chrome OS build environment. The Rust folks have been super helpful in answering my questions though.
> There's a mild delight in noting that Microsoft failed to break into someone else's platform stranglehold.

You're forgetting that Microsoft _was_ the smartphone leader around the time of Windows Mobile 5 and 6, after defeating Palm. At one time, there were over 100 models of of Windows Mobile phones on the market. (Android's fragmentation problem was entirely foreseeable because it happened to WM first.)

They lost the market to Apple and Android through a mixture of complacency and stupidity, which is something of a shame. WM was just as open as the Windows desktop; no walled garden, no app store eating a third of your revenue, no vendor lock-in shenanigans, just load whatever software you want and run it.
You have two airplanes, one can carry 100 passengers and you can see where you are flying; the other can carry 1000 but you are flying blind.

> the momentum in kubernetes is to leverage nginx as an ingress.

There are many different groups, Nginx in fact has their own ingress controller [1] separate from K8S nginx ingress controller. HAProxy is older and harder to deal with for L7 ingress routing as compared to Nginx.

The Istio project (using Envoy) [2] is gaining speed quickly though to become a much better ingress and internal proxy.

This is especially confusing to use 'server-less' buzzword (meaning 'on the bunch of servers in The Cloud') wrt messengers and p2p things where things could be actually serverless.
I've never been a fan of the Smart line of cars, if only because they are so damned expensive here in the US ($15k for the base model, 39mpg).

I'd toyed with the idea of buying one when they first became available. But the fuel efficiency wasn't as good as some other contemporary vehicle models. And I'd be giving up a whole back seat. And performance was certainly anemic, even by sub-compact car standards.

I'll probably just get a Prius next year. 50 mpg, as actually measured by outside firms like Consumer Reports. That's so impressive. I'd love to get an electric, but they're just too expensive still.

Ever since companies ditched vacation and sick leave in favor of combined PTO, I work while sick. When I had sick leave, I used it.

It may well be that they don't want to cut their July vacation short by a day because they caught a cold in January. And to compound the issue, it was probably a cold they caught at work, because the company leave policy reinforces the behavior. People who stay home when sick are punished with shorter vacations.

You'd think a rich guy would have to be very concerned with privacy.
Android itself does not "[spy] on basically everything you do", that role is given to the Google-specific services and applications you can - but do not have to - run on the thing. Neither is Android "vendor lock-in in a way we've never seen before", the source to the basic OS is available after all. The exception to this is formed by the device drivers which generally come in the form of "blobs" which are tailored to a specific build of the OS. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to make use of source builds, a situation which might be rectified by "project Treble" [1] but the jury is still out on this.

With the source to Android available and decoupled from the device-specific code it should be easier to create alternative Android distributions. This should also make it possible to upgrade Android on devices which have been abandoned by the vendor and those which never got any updates to begin with.

This is not just theory by the way, I'm using a number of Google-free Android devices myself. They run just fine without those Google bits, they don't spy more than any other device. This does not mean it does not spy at all but that problem is present in all mobile devices from all manufacturers and under all operating systems: the radio interface layer is a black box closed source blob in all commercially available devices that I've come across.

No, no it does not and rms has very specifically said that free software doesn't need to be copyleft. They even have a diagram which explicitly includes permissive licenses in the free category:

Your definition of freedom isn't different than the FSF's. You perhaps just disagree on what is necessary to safeguard that freedom and you disagree that proprietary software is unethical.
It's a bit disconcerting to find someone pretending to be you online. I've had my real name and moniker used multiple times. This has always been associated with a little information about me, namely they know a bit about me and will try to impersonate me based in that.

Usually, they get some details wrong - or make things up entirely. It's pretty well known that I live in Maine. It surprised me when I'd learned that I'd written about my home on coastal Maine. See, I don't live anywhere near the coast.

I've seemingly been an owner, or associated with, a few online businesses. I'm not, I really am not. In fact, I've never even considered doing MLM, sold stuff at eBay, or been a 'security researcher.'

If you discover someone impersonating you, my advice is to pretend to be one of their old friends. The more public you can make this, the better. The page(s) will get taken down, but it is fun while it lasts.

You can have a lot of fun with that. "Oh, man... I still think we did too much coke that weekend. I never thought I'd say too much coke was possible. Shame about that hooker, right?" Things like that will give you hours of enjoyment.

Sort of related, I kind of wish I had people calling me to help me fix my Windows computers. Alas, nobody seems to have put my number on the list. I have a mental script already prepared.

Gotos are a natural choice for state machines, we basically emulate goto when we use while+switch or while+function pointer. The "goto considered harmful" paper is about structured programming, saying that you should use structured programming instead of goto, but it doesn't apply here because goto is the right structure to begin with.

I suggest reading the actual "goto" paper sometime… it's a classic.

Overstock worked earlier on their T0 [1] initiative to support settling equities trades in T=0 Days'. Currently, a stock or equity transfer takes three days. The days of the wild west exchanges is over. While distributed or atomic swap transfers will expand in the future. The ability to take fiat for a crypto or deposit fiat to trade will be handled by regulated companies. This is the value proposition of Bitcoin and the blockchain that it has currently. Innovation will continue, we certainly will see new tokens in the future and this will take this technology to the next stage of Blockchains as a technology.

It happens, I went through this. It sucks. I was in grad school and didn't have many friends at all. It took getting a job where I made some life long friends at work (in different groups though). I've since moved out of that state but stay in touch with them. I found the high school to college transition hard and then the college to grad school transition even harder (at in grad school was the worst).. even though I was surrounded by similar people! :) Most of the time I focused on finding a girlfriend. I now regret not enjoying my own time more and seeing the optimistic side of being single.

Instead of being mired in loneliness, a key thing is to start doing things you enjoy that give you an option to meet others. Join a meet up, take tennis lessons, play golf .. ! Join a church or other community.

This is lazy thinking, the gotos described in that essay can jump anywhere in the program while modern gotos are limited to the function scope and have various warnings about initialization order and whatnot.

All the arguments it makes no longer apply but people still quote the snappy headline.

That essay does make an excellent argument against programming with many tiny functions though, as those do cause the execution cursor to jump all over the source code document.

You certainly set a standard with the interactivity and general functioning of the charts you built! Kudos

I'm curious as to why, if it's seemed so difficult to replace them, that Google hasn't gone with a rather wide-spread and capable library like High Charts?[0][1]

edit: Or am I missing the core problem. Not that it's difficult for Google to coordinate on an internal chart library, but rather that it's a problem of integrating a new display format?

And while we're on charting, I recommend having a look at:

No, almost certainly not. Why would I use MSSQL in the first place, when I could just use PostgreSQL? The main reason I could see to use MSSQL would be "you're in a Windows shop already", and if that isn't the case, I don't see much reason for it.
Author here: one of the policies we tried to stick to when writing unsafe code was to document each case. It can be tedious but it encourages having less unsafe code and makes the author really think about if this unsafe code is really meeting the same guarantees as safe Rust according to https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/meet-safe-and-unsafe.html
We need to stop Cloudflare.
The issue with C# and Swift is that the Apple and MS dev communities enjoy having a ready made solution that they can pick up and work with immediately. Official support is very important.

C# and to some extent Swift are also two huge platforms, there are very few organisations out there that would be able to steer their development.

Finally, they are not standardised in any way. MS tried something with 2.0 and then gave up.

My impression is that these two live and die by the will of their corporate masters. I'm not saying they will kill them or anything, that would be pretty stupid of them to do.
I'm sorry but, "bwahahahha". C++ build and test times at Google are astronomical. It's one of the reasons go exists: they built it to compile and link faster.
Humans and their systems are very resilient. Personally I would have let a lot of the weaker US financial institutions fail after Lehman. It would have been much more painful in the short term, but I bet we'd be in a healthier recovery period now. Granted I understand why the Fed did what they did. The European equivalent is letting Portugal, Greece, Italy, and Spain go bankrupt, which could cause serious, irreversible structural problems...on that one, I'm not sure what I would have done.
I basically use Cloudflare for dns management, they make it so easy....
I've liked that sort of idea, but not really as it has been currently implemented.

What I really want is just some way to maintain my 'working state' wherever I go.

When I'm in front of a desk, I'll want to make best use of multiple screens, higher-speed networking and storage. And when mobile (on a phone or tablet) I still want to maintain my context, at least in terms of what I've been looking at on the browser, in email, etc.

At any rate, I don't want to be power/thermal limited by the processor I can carry around in my pocket.

I'm not sure what you could possibly do with a CPU that consists of just a "real" core. You still need the rest of the computer: a GPU, DDR4 memory controllers, PCIe 3.0, USB 3.0, SATA 6gbits. Unless you clear that hurdle your real cores are going to be paper weights. The market is already flooded with ARM SBCs with poor software support that fill the niche between high end laptop/desktop/smartphone and microcontroller.

I don't think that's true, certainly people rely on search engines more now than ever, but people still know the domain names of their most common destinations e.g google, facebook, reddit, amazon, gmail, ebay, github, youtube, pornhub aol etc. It's also pretty common to see people visit domains directly after being instructed to do so by advertising provided the domain name is easy to remember e.g. hotels.com, indeed.com, apple.com etc. Also, individuals quickly become familiar with sites that they visit habitually; certainly most users of gofundme pateron, paypal etc are not doing a google search to discover these URLs, they just type them in (and often the browser autocompletes it for them)

Battery life could be a concern. While using my Nikon DSLR I won't turn it off at all until I'm done for the day and that seems to barely affect the battery. I can leave it in a drawer for months, pick it up and snap a hundred pictures and put it back in the drawer for a few more months and the battery is still fine. In fact, I'd be surprised if I charge it more than once a year (mind you, since phone cameras became good enough I have very little use for my DSLR.)

I love Android (I've only had Android phones since my first smartphone), but battery efficiency is definitely not its strong suit, even on a clean install on a flagship phone.
Vacation leave and sick leave are mentioned in law, and companies are required to keep funds in reserve to pay for those balances. PTO was invented to stop people from using sick leave when they weren't sick, and to avoid having to keep the cash liability for leave balances on the books.

Usually, the combination results in fewer days of available leave, and since vacations are often planned months in advance, people are forced to come in to the office while sick or spoil their entire vacation by screwing up the itinerary.

Well. I have explained about that in the above comment. I'm not saying that you can't modify the source. But open source software don't require the user to be able to run the modified versions on the same device, free software do.

So the same software can be both free software and open source or open source only based on where the code is run.
