> The point is that you've still done many more distribution upgrades than Windows upgrades in the same timeframe and don't question it.

Which is not the point I was making there. The point was that Windows Upgrades are subjective, whereas when Linux Upgrades are subjective, you can hop to the next OS.

Many end-users have no problem doing even twice as many upgrades, as long as what they're getting isn't worse. And often you're even able to avoid UI changes by making these sidesteps. For example, you could've gone from Ubuntu with GNOME2 to Ubuntu MATE or even Xubuntu and you'd still be using essentially the same UI as you've been able to use since 2002. Program compatibility wouldn't really change then either, it's still Ubuntu, still Linux under the hood.

I also really don't feel like it's fair for you to act like Ubuntu is the only distribution. If you know you want conservative, boring, then you'd install Debian. openSUSE Leap would also be an option, for the most part not quite as conservative as Debian, but at least it's out of its experimenting phase. And if you don't mind monetary costs, then SUSE Linux Enterprise will give you 10 years general support + 3 years extended support.

Lastly, the upgrade isn't just subjective for many companies, it's even likely illegal due to the increased telemetry. Either because they're in a field where by law, they have to abide to user data protection, or because they have contracts that ask for secrecy. And I do think that that is a very legitimate reason to not be upgrading right away or at all. That one, however, is on Microsoft.
What you just said is a complicated way of saying that a particle can describe temperature.
If that were true, wooden buildings would be more expensive to insure against fire damage than non-wooden ones. Turns out, a (properly designed and built) predominantly wooden building can get the same or (even better, depending on what it is compared against) ratings.

I'm sure electric baseboard heating can be effective... Unfortunately, anyplace I've ever encountered it has suffered from other deficiencies - inadequate or non-existant insulation, single-pane windows, inadequately pitched roofs, and other features eminently unsuitable for a cold-weather climate - that electric heat has become a red flag.
This isn’t quite correct. Technically I’d say it’s highly incomplete, and that incompleteness makes it wrong.

For instance, a side effect is that only high productive investments will be made. That leads to high return on investment. Which leads to higher profitability. (Look up ROIC if you want a quick overview of the effect - it’s very well documented).

What’s this leads to is a society which has a highly improving productivity, and therefore a highly improving quality of life.

I’m not sure why some economists leave this effect out. It’s a very significant effect, and leads to a different set of outcomes when you include it in a model.

Side note - using ROIC is a great filter for ranking companies to invest in. Over the longer term, companies with higher ROIC tend to significantly beat their competitors.
I had an invention that could help many people escape from a building:

Magnetic strips on the side of the building, and backpacks with metal.

You put on the backpack and shimmy down. Just in case, you also strap yourself onto the slide by its sides, so as not to disconnect from it and fall off.

This is better than a rope because it can hold many people simultaneously.

Do the magnets wear out over time though?
Really? They are debateably the most efficient way to heat a home up here. Not only is chopping wood great stress reduction, the cracking fire soothes the soul during long winter months. I suppose your view of practicality is different. It regularly drops to -30F here, I love my roaring fires.

As one of these companies (CAs), I think I would certainly worry a little that any one of a few other companies (Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple) could effectively kill my business.

However, I'm not one of these companies (CAs). I am a customer of a couple of them (by necessity, of course) but, primarily, I am just a consumer/end-user of the (CA) service that they provide. From this position, I'm actually quite glad that there are other companies -- the browser vendors -- who can serve as sort of an "overseer" of the CAs.

The browser vendors don't have any actual authority over a CAs daily operations or how they choose to run their business, of course. Instead they simply act as representatives of the Internet-using population in ensuring that the Baseline Requirements and their own (root inclusion) policies are adhered to.

As an example, I think it's pretty much a given that Equifax is going to emerge from the recent compromise relatively unscathed. They might have to pay a fine or settle a class-action suit or something but, for the most part, it's going to be business as usual for them. Time will pass and we'll forget about this incident. Those of us who are/were affected are left without any real recourse.

If a CA had a major compromise like this, however, the CA would almost certainly not get off so easily. We have the corpse of DigiNotar [0] as proof as that. The browser vendors' decisions to remove the DigiNotar roots from their trust stores was, effectively, a death sentence for the company and, in my opinion, a well-deserved one as well. It should -- and, I'm sure, did -- serve as a warning to the other CAs.

If nothing else, the "authority" that the browser vendors do have is a benefit to everyone. I think the CAs clearly understand what can/will happen if they choose to flagrantly violate the BRs and/or allow a major security incident to happen and I believe that is motivation for them to ensure that they do their job properly. It's reassuring to me -- as an "end user" of these CAs -- to know that their will be repercussions if they don't.

Eh. Definitely not reliable in my experience. I don't use SQLite directly, but I use apps that save stuff in it. I've had issues of losing data because the SQLite DB became corrupt.

Although to be fair, I have no idea if this is any less common with other DB's.

> 99%+ of getters and setters could be replaced with public fields.

Actually it makes more sense the other way around. Fields are just an optimization; the different between fields and properties is one has direct memory access and the other is a method. Properties/methods are far more powerful: their implementation can change, they can be virtual and overridden, etc.

Maybe we could have had just properties and the JIT could have optimized them into direct memory access if they were backed by a simple field.
Most interpreters these days are virtual machines. If it has a set of opcodes for an abstract machine, it counts as a virtual machine.

1. DRM only hurts legitimate users.

2. Netflix claimed it's not their intent to use DRM, but demand comes from film publishers who distribute content through them.

3. Netflix make their own films now, but you can't find them DRM-free (legally).

Ergo, it's also their fault DRM was pushed into HTML. Q.E.D.

Get the Razer. If you go with cheap thin options like MSI or Gigabyte, you get backlight bleed in the screen. If you go with more name brand like HP Omen or Asus ROG stuff, you get thicc heavy or lower spec. Razer is the best, but there's a loud and obnoxious group of people who constantly whine on every Razer thread about build quality, which just isn't true. I suspect they're paid Apple shills, since Razer is Apple's greatest hardware threat now, especially with this new phone.
Does it have sprinklers? Lack of sprinklers is what doomed the Marco Polo condominium victims despite all the mitigations.

"We've got three commercial fire hoses on every floor," he
said. "We've got three CO2 bottles, big ones, on every
floor. When we did the building originally, we thought we
have enough equipment at the time, so the fire will never
transfer to another unit. We have 45-minute fire doors, so
if we have a fire, we can keep it to one unit."

Venezuela has been pretty bad off recently too.
You really don't know that about concrete buildings without inspection, and possibly core sampling of the concrete. You don't know what the true grade of the concrete is or whether it's thick enough depending on loading. And you need to look for signs of common failure modes such as carbonation, chloride penetration, freeze/thaw cycles, alkali-aggregate reactions, etc. Most concrete failures can penetrate the entire slab before showing outward signs. And concrete slabs have 'exploded' from as little as 200C of heat due to trapped water vapor. This assumes it's earthquake-code concrete construction.

A mostly-stone building will be perfectly fine, though :)

Yeah, I just noticed that.
The cache functionality introduced in HAProxy 1.8, as it said, small object cache, which means that only small response can be cached, which defaults to 16KB as defined by the global parameter `tune.bufsize`.

There is no such limitation in nuster, and nuster can do more things like cache based on request url/query/header/cookie, response headers, request rate, TTL, etc.
Their culture is singularly focused on performance... so both.
Probably has to do with Netflix being TV for people to watch, and Facebook, Google being the equivalent of Orwell’s TV that watches you.

The rest of my point is basically "on their junior developers." What I'm referring to is the mismatch between what Google and Facebook actually do (monetize machine learning to sell ads) compared to what they claim to do when they recruit ("come change the world" etc.). The same is not true of Netflix with DRM.
I believe that you raise excellent concerns. I also believe the solutions are perhaps just a bit of thoughtful UI design away.

The options could be something like:

----Performance & Privacy-----

Document Save Mode

[x] Balanced. Document history is not shared. (Default)
[ ] Fastest. Not recommended for sensitive data
[ ] Maximum privacy. Slowest, but most secure

Click for more information on what these choices mean

The first option would zero out previous edits. This would be the default. This would still be faster than re-zipping the entire archive -- you'd only be zero'ing out a single file. Metadata could still be inferred via fragmentation as you say, but I do not believe this is a concern for most use cases.

The second option would optimize purely for speed.

The third option would optimize purely for privacy. Perhaps the entire document database would be rewritten from scratch on every save. This probably wouldn't be too much slower than the current XML dance.

I understand the value of this kind of "paranoid" mode but I think it's overkill for most situations. Personally, the situations where I'd want this kind of behavior are extremely rare. Clearly some people would need/want this and that's fine; it would be only a click away. And then all future documents could inherit this choice until the app is told otherwise.
I attribute and applaud the strong leadership of Reed Hastings. Apple and Tim Cook is another example. Both companies keep their products and secrets close to their chest, and don't put-up with employees who think their political views or personal agendas are more important than the company. Leadership by committee (Google is notorious) in my view is not the answer. Large public companies should be dictatorships. The quote; and I'll be sure to get it right (oops Texans owner) "the inmates are running the asylum" holds true for Google and Facebook.
Subjects, minions, whatever you want to call them :p
OK, this is not a geographical thing that I gleaned from the title but more a simple summing of the graduates in the four STEM areas and the number of job openings in those areas.

It appears that in spite of the much touted shortage given as the reason the H1-B program must be expanded that the number of graduates for every field far exceeds the number of job openings except for computer science - where it is roughly the same. Where are these underemployed STEM graduates going - the article points to STEM graduates who gave up on academic careers/paths to go into computer programming/data analysis.
A wet cloth over the mouth/nose will catch a lot of the particulates and water-soluble vapors, though it won't help a lot with the heat.
I came from React. Angular is a much more complex and strict tool, but with that comes more power (build-in functionality): It's a framework not just a view layer. So it takes more time to learn, but with React you need to first choose, then learn Router, http, ... as well.

Now, it all depends what you prefer / what's good for you. For me it was a huge productivity boost to switch to Angular because they just tell me how to do things. I don't spend much time on thinking how to architecture or about which library to choose (e.g. MobX vs. Redux), I just do it. With WebStorm it's two clicks to get a component / service / etc. scaffolded. That is pretty much the fasted it can get. Once you know Angular, you can develop really fast despite it's complexity.

But that's really a personal choice. If you need structure and tend to get lost in decision making, give Angular a try.

For the same reasons I'd choose for larger teams.
Interesting, I was curious about the downvotes. I'm pitching my company, but... the company IS me, and occasionally some part-timers I bring on for the especially large jobs ('migrate these six datacenters!', etc). Is this thread only for non-C2C individuals?
Hmm. I'm not sure what you mean ... if you have the chance, do you think you can try to explain what you mean?

Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage
About 7 years ago, I recall they were paying software folks 40-50% more than the competition (Google, etc).

Netflix is known for a few things: They pay really well. They don't tolerate drops in performance. The two go hand in hand (they're open about it). And as someone else mentioned, they encourage their employees to interview elsewhere, and they make it their goal to try to match any higher offer the employee gets.

I think their culture is the type that self-selects. People who don't want the stress of being a top performer all the time tend not to apply, or leave very quickly.

Awaiting Trump's coal comeback, miners reject retraining
Making sure your sprinklers are in working order seems like a good start. Also, based on the video I'd say "don't keep dry Christmas trees around." I dunno how they ignited that tree, but it went from fine to ceiling-high inferno in four seconds flat. I don't think typical furniture will catch nearly that fast in typical home-fire circumstances (overheated electrical devices, dropped cigarettes, etc). I wonder if keeping the tree in a watering stand and topping it up regularly helps.
Well, I doubt Netflix tell junior developers when they recruit them, that they are now in league with MPAA and on the wrong side of all things copyright. DRM is just a part of it all.
