Exactly this. We're constantly told not to "roll our own X", making paid offerings like Azure App Insights, which is more robust than any hand-rolled solution we could ever develop, so appealing.

We're not trying to sell the user, or their data. We just want to know which features are being used and whether or not it's meeting our performance criteria, thus doing the user a favor by meeting those criteria.

GCP has great primitives that you can use to build your architecture. Things are generally faster, cheaper (with far simpler billing), and scale without any tuning.

However their biggest weakness is the overall alpha/beta stage of many APIs and the lack of managed services. AWS, especially with these recent announcements, has so many managed services that you can get started building your business product quicker than anywhere else, even if the offerings and billing are more complex.

GCP does have some things like Spanner and BigQuery that are unmatched though.
I think this is more a problem of society in general. From my personal perspective everyone I have ever met is faking it 99% of the time. The only time people are real is when they are taking a shit and wiping it up before going back out there. I don't think people want a video of that on social media. Its a question of scale yes, but its the same property.

I don't really know how to "prove" this to you, but you can do the math. Virtually all PhD programs require students to take a small number of courses (on the order of 10), front-loaded towards the beginning of grad school. They also require students to be registered for something the whole time. Thus, the "dark matter" of these classes.

No way t2's are a good choice for your average webservice. You don't get the full CPU with t2's. With a t2.medium if you're using over 20% of the cpu (40% of 1 vcpu or 20% of both), you're burning CPU credits. So unless you have a webapp that uses 8gb of memory yet stays somewhere under 20% cpu utilization (maybe with some peaks), you'll eventually get throttled.

t2's are for really bursty workloads, which only makes sense for a webservice if you aren't handling much traffic in general and you have maybe 2 instances total.

You're absolutely correct. I'm not arguing whether it's possible to use Instagram like one would use Snapchat — it is, and my points won't make any sense from that POV.

I was laying down my observations on what's the default, and hence seemingly most common behavior for the given network. All snapchat accounts are private by default (yes, you can make stories public like on Instagram). All Instagram accounts are public by default (yes, you can make it private) The power of default has a significant role to play in how people think about and use a particular network. This is even more true for the people who are not very tech savvy, which is the majority.

Again, not arguing if Instagram is better than Snapchat, or vice versa. Instagram probably will win the majority of the market, and will have an order of magnitude, if not more, users, engagement and revenue. Will Snapchat become irrelevant and die? I'd say it's too early to make that call.

I still have an RCA VCR that does that (not that I have a cable signal to feed it anymore). The manual makes some vague references to how it works, but I'm guessing it's pretty similar to your Panasonic.

It was fascinating to watch (well, hear, more accurately) exactly how it did it too. Once a timed recording finished, it would rewind the tape to the start of the recording and "watch" the show at high speed. When it encountered a commercial it would slow down, rewind a bit, and somehow mark the start of the commercial segment on tape, speed up for a bit and somehow mark the end.

When playing back it would turn the screen blue and fast-forward through the previously marked commercial segments automatically. The accuracy was very impressive.

I can even put that into perspective. The first time I deployed to CENTCOM (2004) there were more than 3500 US journalists already there (and there are many foreign journalists there too). The first time I went to Afghanistan (2009) I met one of the major CNN politics correspondents and his producer on a flight. You could honestly make the argument that with so much coverage putting your life on the line for a story that somebody else probably already has may not be worth it.

In that context war and combat were the big sellers and got the most coverage, because you just had to be in the right spot at the right time. There is little or not investigation. The best news coming out of there had nothing to do with combat action, but rather things that demanded real investigation. The hard work of journalism. These stories were extremely rare, in comparison.

The other major issue is allowing an audience to dictate your subject matter, which is my interpretation of crowdsourcing. I would say this is the quickest way to defeat your primary mission of objectivity and shortest path to bias. The big challenge here is how to determine what qualifies as a story worth publishing, particularly for an international audience.

One way to limit bias is to disallow opinion pieces and editorials. Fox News is, on occasion, a great source of journalism, but journalism doesn't drive its ratings. Editorial pundits do, and a clear bias is the result.

My comments are in regards to your statement here:

but you might value your ability to choose less if you didn't know when your next meal would be.

I am telling you that when I was so poor that I often had no idea when my next meal might be, I valued my own agency -- my right to choose and to make choices -- tremendously. But it looks to me like, overall, most folks here don't want to hear the opinions of someone who actually ate regularly at soup kitchens for a time. They want to say nice things about being generous people who will feed the hungry, and let's not let actual facts get in the way of our pretty ideas that this is always a good thing with no down side.

It is a form of virtue signaling. It is also a form of pity, which is fundamentally disrespectful. You assume you are in a better position than the people of whom you speak to decide for them, while completely dismissing the opinions to the contrary of someone still poor enough that food security is an ongoing question mark.

This seems to be par for the course.
>arguably you are making the same trade as someone buying bitcoin or gold

I think the difference here is that people can intuitively justify changes in the value of a stock regardless of buybacks and dividends because company performance is a tangible, measurable factor (even if only by proxy of flawed but useful metrics). The value of gold is more vaguely determined by market perception/speculation (e.g. gold doesn't have quarterly earnings reports with detailed accounting). Ultimately something has value as long as people believe it has value, but I think the discomfort from folks like Bogle comes from the lack of a rigorous method for valuation vs. assets like equities.

I worked on the exchange side(CME Group) and we used BigDecimal (and an in-house version that worked in a very similar way) quite often... Worked just fine for us as far as I know.

That being said, I agree with your sentiment that there are faster/more efficient ways to accomplish this. For something like smart contracts, I'd think they should be able to abstract this line of reasoning into an API that's consumable for those of us that aren't as familiar. Or is at least worth having the option of.

Disclosure: I work at Google. You can consider looking at Glassdoor[1], bearing in mind this includes data from several years ago before the wage-fixing bust and excluding natural growth. Looking at offers that I have friends have gotten at both bigtech and not, a good rule of thumb for new offers is to take the upper end of what Glassdoor says and add ~10%. If you want you can also look at H-1B data[2] which usually quotes only guaranteed base salary (and excludes bonus and RSUs). As far as I know there is no public data on this.

In my tech writing class for the sciences, my teacher said, "Never use a noun when you could use a verb".

Meaning, she would suggest saying: "Write a log to" and "User logs in to"; which are far more clear in their intent. :)

I think it's amazing we can even understand each other sometimes; English is quite a terrible language.
I think we have the stats to show that your A) is false, if nothing else.

Consider the fact that in the social sciences, about 18 percent of American professors are communists, and about 5 percent are conservatives[1].

In general, conservatives are outnumbered as faculty about 12 to 1 by liberals [2].

In order for these numbers to be "as close to reflecting reality as any human enterprises have ever come", we would expect America to have 12 liberal voters for each conservative, and the Democratic Socialists of America to be the second most powerful political party, while the republicans would struggle to maintain a distant third place.

I won't label you with titles like 'biased' or 'disingenuous' however, because I find that rude and counterproductive to finding the truth.

Ah, hmm... good catch.
Agreed! It's a question of how you introduce them to these ideas. One option is to start at the bottom (hardware) and go up, so that pointers feel like a welcome abstraction when students encounter them in C. (They will already be used to thinking about memory addresses in assembly.)

The other option, and the one I choose, is to go from high-level languages down. What I'm not so sure about is just throwing people in in the middle, so that they are trying to grasp abstractions like functions and variables at the same time as they are trying to understand pointer arithmetic.

In the subset of Racket we use, all values are immutable, so an understanding of memory (stack vs. heap) is less necessary. We do still talk about "frames" to understand lexical scope, though, and students get used to thinking of each function call using up a new "frame" of memory to store its local variables. This allows them to understand the memory efficiency of recursive functions.

We then move onto Python, and _do_ talk about an "environment" (stack) and a "heap" (I call the heap "object-land" because objects live there). This enables us to talk about garbage collection. More importantly, students get used to thinking about variables as being bound to either primitives or pointers to shared memory.

In Go, there _are_ pointers, and students get used to thinking about memory addresses as values. They learn that pointers are useful both for sharing mutable references, and for avoiding expensive copies. (In Go, arrays are values, and passing a large array to a function copies it.) But none of the sharp edges of C's pointers are present. Go does "escape analysis" so that if you return a pointer to a local variable, that local variable is allocated on the heap; it is safe to point to anything and if you do, it won't be garbage collected. There's no pointer arithmetic.

By the time they see C, in the third-year course, a lot of the pieces are in place to have a good understanding of how the stack and heap (and manual memory allocation) really work. And along the way, because they were using higher-level languages, the students have been creating cross-platform, complex programs (web servers, games, etc.) that they're proud of. :-)

Re: sibling's comment that "some people aren't cut out to be engineers," I think that's a somewhat dangerous attitude. I think the study of computation is profound & rewarding and should be part of a liberal arts education for everyone; even apart from that, programming is also a useful skill for people who won't get a job as an engineer.
Using a sane set of enums is just a bit more typing yet so much clearer in intent. Even if it's just Success or Failure instead of a bool or int. Still not bullet proof but seeing `return Success` where it fails and checking for `if (bla == Success)` makes it a lot easier to find the problems.
What is this going to sound like when cities have hundreds of whining cars driving around? Are we just going to have to get used to the noise pollution from the cars so people can get their coffee delivered faster?

Oh common, even you have to believe your statement is hyperbolic. What about the little crud apps people write for convenience? I wrote a weather app that scrapes data that I look at but made it faster so I don't need to load the entire website every time I want to review it. 0 tracking what-so-ever. I've come across several apps published by friends that do the same and couldn't imagine it's hardly a strange thing to write an app and not want to see it as some sort of monetization scheme.

well the concern I am curious about how they address it is, how will they route these drones? How high up do they need to be when crossing private property before they are not trespassing. If any have cameras attached how do we verify they only record where appropriate? if routing down existing roadways how do they fare in areas with large numbers of over head wires?

my personal concerns from above are trespass and privacy. besides someone should easily be able to come up with a means to track them and nab some packages, with drones if there is enough money in it.
Does installing this update bump up the macOS 10.13.x version number? I’m still on Sierra so I’m just curious. Thanks!
Thanks! I should probably include some more details on how to program the simulator.

Turing machines are just one simple way for formalizing programs, without all the complexities of modern programming languages. The core idea is that whatever a supercomputer (or any future computer) can compute, so can a Turing machine (it might just take more time): this is called the Church-Turing thesis.

The specifics on how to program Turing machines don't actually matter too much in modern complexity theory, but the rigorous basis is there when needed.

--

A Turing machine is always in some "state," (starts at A) and it's head is always over some cell of the tape, initially all zeros. Then the program, which is the grid in angelic hierarchy, specifies what the Turing machine should do. If it's in state A and the cell the head is at is 0, just go to the corresponding cell (marked in bright red), it will tell you the next state to go to, a number to write down on the tape, and a direction to step toward (Left or Right).

For intuition about why more states allow for more complex programs, try writing a 1-state program that writes two 1s and then halts (it's not possible). Then try it with 2 states.
