Improve System Security and Reliability Part 1
Prevent a successful hack or virus infection from affecting critical system functionality. This is accomplished by placing effective layers of security and reliability between computers within a system. An infrastructure called SoftEcoSDK provides common functionality for these added layers. System programs exchange work between computers via the infrastructure to prevent unauthorized computer to computer access and to recover in progress work upon program or computer failure.

A programmer must learn a new API. However, less effort is needed for program development and system administration. More resources are used but overall system performance and reliability are improved by spreading work across more geographically dispersed computers.
I am not telling her what to do. My blog post makes it as clear as I know how that I am using her as an example to elucidate a thought process.

My initial comment here was really more to express sympathy for people saying "I am male and it is inherently problematic for me to look at her work or share her work because of the images of her that are associated with it." I think that is a completely valid concern and it is one of the reasons I work at trying to make sure I do my best to present myself in a fashion that doesn't raise such questions.

I am sure I don't always get it right, but I try to be mindful of the fact that if I want to be taken seriously and do business with men, it is easier for them to talk to me, make introductions and share my work if they don't have to explain that, no, I am not a hooker, not their illicit lover, and they aren't interested in my writing for its salacious nature. Men in positions of power often need to meet a test of no appearance of impropriety. Some men simply are not going to open doors for me if they have any reason to feel that it will lead to talk. That is the reality I am dealing with. Getting on a soap box about how it shouldn't matter how I look does not strike me as an effective approach to the problem in question.

People are often talking about abstract ideals when they talk about sexism. I am usually speaking of a pragmatic approach that has some hope of actually working in the real word. I am not holding my breath waiting for some ideal world to arrive. I need to eat in the here and now.
We did thought to use queue depth, but CPU metric was easier to start with. One problem with using queue depth though is that we can't (didn't figure out how to) throttle down autoscaler to not give us more machines in case downstream service is down.

We did upgrade Docker, but we didn't upgrade kernel. Switching kernel is a bigger task that we'll probably do at some later point.

> Good luck with that.

Agree entirely. The law hasn't caught up requiring compensation for on call/off hours work at the existing salary level (at least in the US).

Moving from devops/infrastructure to security I doubled my total comp (salary + 401k + vacation + health insurance) while reducing the hours per week I work down to ~37 hours (I also get to work remote and never work nights or weekends). If you're in ops/devops/infrastructure, I highly recommend the transition to others, the current demand for competent security professionals is quite literally bananas.

TL;DR If you're in ops, get out of ops (easy) or work someplace that will compensate you appropriately for on call/nights/weekends work (hard).
Ah yeah, the zip database I'm using is a bit out of date (as some other people have mentioned) and you're seeing this behaviour as it thinks 22003 is in Georgia. I had a hunch people might be more interested in results from their own state even if they were a bit further away, but clearly in this case that doesn't make sense.

I'll experiment with moving the email form to under the results, or putting it behind a button. I was trying to make it low friction, but I think I might have gone a bit far.
>But selling software to consumers is different from selling highly technical operating systems directly to computer companies. To compete against sophisticated marketers like Lotus,

The really young techies won't remember this since it was over 30 years ago but what Microsoft did during the 1980s in the software space was astounding.

The 1970s Microsoft was originally a "programming languages" company. They sold MS BASIC and MS COBOL.

In the 1980s, they added productivity apps like word processors and spreadsheets (Word and Excel). What's amazing is that they didn't acquire those from a competitor (like the later acquisitions of Spyglass for IE or Vermeer for MS Frontpage). Word & Excel were homegrown at Microsoft and Bill Gates hired Charles Simonyi to lead their development.

They added operating systems like MS-DOS and later MS Windows & Window NT. MS-DOS was an acquisition but Windows NT was homegrown by hiring Dave Cutler.

Nobody else replicated Microsoft's successful diversity in software. That included Lotus, Ashton-Tate, Computer Associates, Adobe, etc.

That's 3 very different areas of software : programming + MS Office + operating systems. All 3 were huge profit machines.

In the 1990s, they continued success with server-side software like SQL Server and MS Exchange.

To give a modern analogy, imagine Jetbrains just selling programming IDEs like IntelliJ and PHPStorm. And then Samsung comes along and says, "we need an operating system for the millions of smartphones we're going to sell" so Jetbrains hires Andy Ruben[1] to write the Android os for Samsung. And then Jetbrains decides that Android also needs a picture sharing app and hires Kevin Systrom[2] to develop Instagram. That absurd combination from one company is what Microsoft did in the 1980s and in that alternate universe, the Jetbrains owners would be multi-billionaires.

Compare that to Google where it's almost 20 years old and its major revenue is still AdWords. Diversifying revenue is not easy.

A comparable (and possibly more astounding diversification) in modern times would be Amazon's origins from selling books & CDs to selling AWS computation resources.

I recently changed my Pocket Casts settings to trim silence and play at 1.8x for most of my subscriptions. The only exceptions are shows that do a lot of audio production like Reply All, RadioLab and The Adventure Zone. I've even found myself adjusting to the faster speed on comedic podcasts, which has been the most surprising to me.
In addition to 'A+' women not wanting to marry/date 'C-' men, those same men seem to be adverse to dating those women. The asymmetry in income and societal 'respect' is often too much for the ego. Her family may see him as 'below' her, her friends think she can do 'better', etc. The man then decides to not pursue the woman to begin with. Think Aladdin, but without Robin Williams. This leaves the women in an even smaller dating pool. But I think this is unlikely.

In general, women want a 'real man', which is often not the opposite of a woman, but the opposite of a 'boy'. What 'real man' is does vary widely from culture, place, and decade. However, a 'real' man does have some similar base ideals across time and space. They are the 3 P's: Protector, Provider, Procreater. A 'real' man must have all 3, or be lacking in 1 but make up for it in the other 2. Missing 2 of the P's is almost certainly a DQ. For a very long and in-depth discussion, start here: https://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/03/31/the-3-ps-of-manhoo...

These 'A+' women have a high standard for Protector and Provider, as well they should for the amount of effort they put in. How men can fix this is to excel in either the Protector or the Provider category. As the Provider one seems to be much harder, then the women should look for a mate that excels in the Protector category. In essence, go find lumberjacks/cops/firefighters/soldiers/etc.

@arximboldi, I wouldn't use MVC for implementing something like Photoshop or and IDE, that's not the kind of application MVC is good for. MVC works well for applications that navigate through multiple screens.
Yes good point. And in any case, for "five rupees, or about 13 cents" to be correct, we'd need a cent to be about 5/13 ≈ 0.38 rupees, and that fits neither USD (1 USD ≈ 65 INR) nor GBP (1 GBP ≈ 86 INR). So original point in this thread, that the article's conversion is mystifying/wrong, still holds.
Sketching a path for software for quantum computing
> don't get me wrong, I'd like to see them removed from the language

Why? Because you are drawn to the pure FP style. That's great, but that's an aesthetic choice, and certainly not one shared among all programmers.

> but it's not like anything would go wrong if you used while in a monadic context. throw I will grant you doesn't mix well with the rest of the language

Eh. You can't use while to loop over some effectful monad.

> Aesthetics have nothing to do with it; it's my experience of what does and doesn't produce reliable, maintainable code.

Yes, but seeing that that experience is far from universal, that makes it an aesthetic choice. It makes you more productive because you are more comfortable with that style.

> What do state and recursion have to do with each other?

You could translate any recursive function into one making use of a state monad. While the two express the same computation, I think their denotation is too different to construct an isomorphism between the two; this is an essential problem with the lambda calculus (in all its manifestations), that can express computations as either functions or monads. This is not a problem with simpler, more composable paradigms, that express computation in a way more amenable to mathematical manipulation (e.g., synchronous programming a-la Eve), and eschew the problematic representation of computation as functions.
For those pointing out that this is "Govt. distortion of markets", please see Agricultural subsidies offered in the US and Europe, which "distort" markets a lot more.

Personally, I think this is an excellent idea. I really liked the story of the lady who said that her morning had been freed because she did not have to cook breakfast anymore. And for many of those using this place, it would similarly free up their time.

Another important point: unlike the gross fast food that you see in the US, this is actually very nutritious. Lentils are a great source of protein and other essential amino acids. The canteens also provide free drinking water. I can see this more as a public health program than a "wasteful subsidy": save millions of man-hours wasted by poor health by providing a decent amount of healthy food to everyone.

As for the idea of indirect assistance via tokens or food stamps: I would wager this is better since the Government can use economies of scale to provide food at low prices. Not to mention: they have quality control over exactly what is offered to the public.

India grows more than enough food to feed all its citizens. I'm glad to see that schemes to provide nutritious meals at subsidized prices to people are finally coming through.
Yeah, Netflix serves 720p to Firefox and Chrome and 1080p to Safari and Edge because they have hardware-based DRM.
Stack Overflow does it well: recent posts are shown with relative times (e.g. 7 minutes ago), but beyond a certain point, the date is absolute. E.g. arbitrary question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47019433/expo-io-always-...
oh god... americans are obese.. please don't compare.
Relative dates are the worst. So many times I'll see screenshots (useless!), or an old browser tab which stops updating, or I need to see which of two items from last month is the most recent (perhaps only minutes separating them, but both items show up as "one month ago"). So many apps (and webapps) fail to offer absolute dates as an option. Looking at you, gitlab.
Improve System Security and Reliability Part 2
The layered and interdependent SoftEcoSDK mechanisms include:

An infrastructure mechanism monitors and controls program activation. A program starts up by obtaining configuration, connecting to the infrastructure, and becoming a standby instance. The infrastructure monitors program status to detect the absence of an active instance, choose a standby instance, and direct it to become active.

An infrastructure mechanism provides secure and reliable message publishing to subscribers. A message passes through a main hub computer where a white list is applied to ensure that only authorized computers are senders and receivers per message type. There is only one active publisher program per message type so that a subscriber can detect a missed message. A message travels two paths to bypass delays or failures in one of the paths

An infrastructure mechanism provides a secure and reliable message connection between a child program and an active parent program. A program instance can also connect to an active instance of the same program. A message connection passes through a main hub computer where a white list is applied to ensure that communication only happens between related programs. No white list is applied for messages communicated on a connection between related programs. A connection between unrelated programs is not allowed as this is an unsafe practice that leads to a security breach. A message travels two paths to bypass delays or failures in one of the paths. A connection is terminated when a missed message is detected.
Seems like this is just the "Issues" tab for organizations?

I created two test discussions, and both of them (along with all replies) are listed on a single page. You can pin discussions, but there is no discussion search bar, and no way (as far as I can tell) to see a list of discussions without also viewing all replies. Essentially it's a giant threaded forum, with everything on a single page, and thread depth pinned to one.

I'm having trouble imagining how the ergonomics work out when you have more than just a couple of largish discussions. I'm excited about this feature in general, but I think there are some nuances they'll have to work out (unless I'm missing something).

Texas woman killed after non-impaired driver taking breathalyzer test hits her
I've often thought about the large size of houses in the United States. I'm sure the reasons are complex and various, but here are some of the drivers of large and "cheaply built" homes. I don't say "cheaply" derogatorily, but as a comparison in cost of underlying materials. The vast majority of single-family residences in the US are made with wood (as apposed to masonry). Most homes in the US that appear to be made of masonry are done so with a veneer layer only.

- When a homeowner sells their primary residence, they are allowed a tax exemption of up to $250,000, or twice that amount if married. Since the 1960s, inflation-adjusted prices have been on the rise, which means the potential for a large tax-free gain when you sell.

- Housing in the United States are massively subsidized by tax policy. Mortgage interest is a deduction to income when filing federal income tax. This means that a dollar spent on a mortgage payment is worth more than a dollar spent on something such as a vacation, a car or other non-deductible purchase.

- Americans tend to move much more frequently than Europeans. An American will live in, on average, 2 or 3 times as many residences than a European [1]. As such, I think there is less "attachment" to a particular structure. Because people anticipate living in or owning a residence for less than 10 years, it seems that size is prioritized over durability.

- In the United States, the quality of public schools is highly correlated to the income of the surrounding area [2]. Most communities with higher income households are full of neighborhoods have covenants that require homes of a minimum size that are legally enforceable through homeowner associations. Not surprisingly, individuals with resources take measures to ensure that their neighbors are their economic peers. Parents are generally willing to sacrifice a lot to ensure high quality education for their children, which means they are willing to spend a large percentage of their income on housing (if that's what it takes to gain access to good schools).

Full disclosure: I am an American but have traveled extensively throughout the world and have often wondered what drives the size of homes in the US.

Self-driving of 2019 is the new "4G" of 2011.

Don't expect these things to be even as good as Waymo's from day one...or first five years. And I don't even believe the reports that Waymo has gotten good enough for full autonomous driving in all environments.

The bigger, obvious issue is destruction of soils near either thriving biomes or human settlements. Destroying rivers, beaches, forests and areas around where people live is just dumb.

There’s always two reasonable alternatives. One, use the essentially lifeless interior, vast deserts of parts of Australia, Africa and South America. Or two, ban concrete as a top CO2 emitter and switch to a renewable carbon sequestration material.
I don't think you have any idea about the problems in 3rd world countries. There are many people below the poverty line and these canteens are a god send.

You must be against state sponsored healthcare too ?. Isn't that just taking taxes from healthy people and using it to treat ill people. In your words - corruption.
Interesting, I take it the distances are being computed in some other way? The "results from State" would definitely make a lot more sense if they matched the zip code.
Whatever is a good idea, money should not be it.
I know in New Jersey people often lose power after big storms knock trees over power lines. Everyone has a generator. I once lacked power for a week.

Uber guy earning INR6000/month! Man you have been conned hard. An Ola/Uber guy earn something like INR35-50K per month after all fuel and car expenses. No one would work for 6K/month even in tier 3 cities for Ola/Uber. In fact there were days when drivers were earning (due to incentives) about 6K (revenue) per day in cities like Delhi and Bangalore
I'm not going to give exact links.

That was a page about a database. I've added an info, that this database has a feature. Someone removed that. I have added links to documentation stating that yes, there is this feature.

And I'm not going to argue with them. Let me write it so you will understand it: I JUST DON'T CARE.

Let them argue in their own kindergarten. I have more interesting things to work on. I can always make another training where I teach people that this database has this feature.

I don't have links now, but there are quite known cases where a professor, who spent 20 years on a topic, writes something about this topic, and gets over voted by the bunch of kids, who have no idea about the whole thing.
Since classes are just sugar over prototypes, their performance is just about the same for instantiation. I assume the article is comparing them to functions that return an object literal with methods.

Here is a simple example of equivalent code in a class, function with a closure, and a prototype:

class FooClass {
constructor (bar) { this.bar = bar; }
getBar () { return this.bar; }
setBar (bar) { this.bar = bar; }
}

function FooClosure (bar) {
var _bar = bar;
return {
getBar () { return _bar; },
setBar (bar) { _bar = bar; }
};
}

function FooPrototype (bar) { this.bar = bar; }
FooPrototype.prototype.getBar = function () { return this.bar; };
FooPrototype.prototype.setBar = function (bar) { this.bar = bar; };

When instantiating a lot of objects, the prototype and class are practically the same, but the function closure pattern is a lot slower. On my machine, instantiating one hundred million of the class or prototype each took about 500ms, but the closure function took about 3s.
Not just their money, but their businesses. Here in Illinois, business of all types are relocating to Indiana, Iowa, etc. The jobs go with them, even if the rich owners still reside in IL. I have many personal anecdotes confirming this trend.

There’s even a political ad running now where governors of neighboring states thank the inept Illinois Assembly leadership for all the new jobs and tax base in recent years.
I believe the forum you are looking for is serverfault.com a StackExchange Q&A site.
There's the old adage: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Let's take that seriously. It has always been much easier to imitate the semblance of meaning than it was to find the substantively meaningful. Things with only the semblance of meaning have always proliferated. Idle talk, children's rhymes, songs, music, myths... all of these have always proliferated. Why did they not drown out actual meaning?

I think the above is one of the key questions for the survival of humanity. A part of the answer is that there has never been a clear demarcation between the meaningful and meaningless. There is valuable information in the structure of myth, songs, and idle talk.

It is clear that something in human beings acts as an effective filter for meaning and value. It is also clear that rationality isn't the totality of whatever this is, though it might be a part of it.
The similarity between Debian's mailing lists and bug reporting system (each bug is, essentially, its own mailing list) has been helpful - you can spin off an email thread to a bug report by Ccing submit@bugs.debian.org and including the right metadata at the top of your reply (usually just "Package:" and "Version:"), and you can spin off a bug report to a mailing list by just Cc'ing it and dropping or Bcc'ing the bug itself.

If you can do things like reference a discussion from a pull request and vice versa just like you can reference PRs from other PRs or in commits, that seems like a huge advantage over running a phpBB somewhere else.

I don't think regulation is the biggest hurdle either. But the cars have to have great reliability while being very safe. So I think the cheapest way to achieve that within the closest 10 years is to have someone that isn't very well paid to simply sit in the car and monitor it.
