The whole situation with attention economics is very illustrative of the neglected power of small things. Facebook can't really hack your dopaminergic pathways, however much they improve their feed AI. AdSense doesn't brainwash you to be a consumerist drone. Smartphones aren't exactly subtle with notifications, and it's easy to disable them. There's no violent, obvious infingement of one's agency, so the opinion that you still make your free choices is not without reason. But more often than not, people don't actively counteract these influences. They go with the flow, they allow the scales to be tipped a little. The more they do so, the more suspectible to distractions they become: that is, less prone to consciously deciding if the next stimulus is worth responding do. So even the tiniest starting amount of influence, as long as it isn't annoying and doesn't raise any internal alarm, is a seed of a serious behavioral change. This is how vulnerabilities work: it's not always intuitive that some small hole can compromise an entire system which is otherwise robust and adaptive. But you don't argue that this is pathetic, you go and patch it before the damage is done.
Hard to do with humans.

On a more practical (if unrelated) note, I think all browsers should block website notifications by default, i.e. when you get a prompt about push notifications, Deny button has to be highlighted. And it shouldn't be ever shown on mobile.
It is difficult to understand, but it seems like the app normally has some sort of PIN protection in order to open it. This is apparently a bypass method for that protection.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but it really does not seem like much of a big deal, as someone would need to have your phone in hand as well as your lock screen passcode.

The title seems pretty dishonest, if my interpretation of this issue is correct.

I've more or less given up on bitcoin and think other crypto tokens have a far better chance in the long run.

This is to form PQC (post quantum crypto) algorithms driven by the industry. In practice, as long as quantum computers don't both work and become scalable in the interim, you have another 4 years to worry about recommendations.
I agree. Microservices have no tooling and a shitload of overhead. After working on such a project I think microservices are an anti-pattern. After a certain point you have to maintain state across service boundaries and all hell breaks loose.

By spitting up your application you basically throw away everything a database gives you as far as ordering and atomicity. And you end up building a giant distributed database yourself.

Stay away from microservices. I've seen people try to make it work multiple times, the overhead for failure scenarios, lack of distributed transactions, and eventual consistency multiply the size of the codebase
I don't think you've adequately supported your argument that this article is classist. The popularity of grocery stores that "adhere to US norms" among lower-income shoppers would seem to refute that argument.
Working individually, yes. But realistically this is more of an iterative prisoner's dilemma than a straight prisoner's dilemma. If the rich don't hold up their part of the social contract, the poor tend to eat them (eventually). So the rich are only incentivized to screw the system if they can get away with it. The problems start happening when we let them get away with it.
Treehouse had a (year-round) 4day/32hour week for a while. But seem to have abandoned it now...

(I’m all for shorter work weeks but the seasonality of the Basecamp version seems to make a few assumptions...)
Backlit displays hurt our eyes because most apps often use full white backgrounds without taking into account the much bigger surface (that is, light) our eyes is exposed to by doing so, which is roughly double compared to say 10 years ago. That can be corrected by choosing darker themes, but good luck convincing most people to do that.

E-Ink technology needs a lot more time to become a viable option for monitors.
I'm sorry that at your day job you deal with poorly built software, but that doesn't sound like an argument against microservices. Cascading failures are one of the first things you should have dealt with in your design (and eventually they would become a benefit since your failures have nice boundaries, and are explicit in your code).

You sound extremely bitter, and extremely pompous with your "all the other devs are just dumb, I'm the only one who can see through the hype" attitude; especially your comment about younger developers.

> good software design boils down to designers with substantial experience, good judgment, and the authority and respect to see their designs faithfully implemented.

Like this - projecting much?

Microservice architecture is a tool. It isn't a replacement for you or your job. It isn't a replacement for communication. There is a recognition that Conway's law is a serious problem in orgs as they scale - microservices (in part) attempt to deal with this.

There are many other benefits. It makes things like DDD easier, since your domains and services can be tied closely together.

It makes scaling at a finer grained level easier - a problem a lot of companies may run into as they scale from a few customers to many. I've certainly run into this problem at a company that was moving from distributed monoliths to microservices.

It has downsides - a more complicated rollout / deployment structure, less shared knowledge of services, and others.

Acting like it's only hype or just 'those darn young devs' makes you sound really silly, especially as someone who's seen Microservices both fail miserably and turn things around completely (in a positive way) for companies.

You say it comes down to experienced developers making good decisions - can you not see that Microservices are designed to help with that? The way you break apart your services, their domains, the 'bounded context', etc is all a tool to help you build things well.
Fair and Balanced? Thoughts on Bias in Probabilistic Modeling
I know everyone is all poo poo on the iPhone x in here. But my prior phone was 3 years old (original 6+, the battery was already starting to... well have issues, was already at over 1k cycles), so I bought the X.

Have to say I like it, its just thinner enough width wise. And the one feature it has is brilliant in winter. I can unlock my phone without removing my gloves. And yes, these gloves are the ones that work with capacitive touch screens. Good luck getting gloves to work with a finger sensor, or to be able to type anything with them reliably in -20F weather.

So... basically it seems like a solid release overall. Of course I have gripes, the control center swipe is annoying to hit for example but overall its fine. Expensive sure, but if I upgrade every 2-3 years whatever.
I've managed to limit my "phone time" significantly since a few years now. Other than the traditional remedies, one thing which works exceptionally well for me is that I've put the device on silent and on vibrate at all time, unless I'm explicitly expecting a very important call (rare). The main reasoning behind this is that auditory signals are much more distracting than visual signals; the latter you must explicitly look for. I just occasionally glance to check the flash notifier. The phone stays out of my hand most of the day.

AMD has its own equivalent of ME also.
I never said it was wrong, nor did the female player who made that argument. Good for her if she feels uncomfortable for voicing that and refusing to go. Only wishing it extended to other marginalized groups.

It's also interesting that you become a second-tier human in Saudi because of segregation but being paid pennies so little that you can't even pay for the travel expenses to the World Women's Chess Championship doesn't make a you a second-tier human. The fact that no other country even wants to host this championship this year doesn't make the women second-tier humans.
Interesting off-topic tidbit that is not meant to derail your point:

whether or not it's extremely responsible is irrelevant; while I don't think they intend it that way, their mission is to extract the wealth from the poor and give it to the rich in the name of 'growth' and 'stability'.

You do not see folks wandering around the tenderloin getting negative real interest rate loans or their businesses bailed out. The economic value to fund the fed's operations comes out of the spending power of the rest of us.
>BitCoin looks like it was designed as a weapon intended to damage central banking and money issuing banks, with a Libertarian political agenda in mind—to damage states ability to collect tax and monitor their citizens financial transactions.

That's exactly why I (and most people) like it so much..
I found magazines to be a good way of slowly building your attention span back up from basically nothing. The articles are usually short enough that you don't get bored and start reaching for your phone, but they're long enough to require some effort if you want to stay focused.

My favorite so far is Lapham's Quarterly.
I’m finishing grad school. Looking forward to having a little more time to do whatever I want. I’ve got a bunch of projects I want to work on and a long list of books I’d like to read.
1 and 2. There are various public appeal periods but because they require examiner time and force applicants to pay attorneys to answer the objections they cost a lot of money.

3. That would be some awesome ML to pull that off. Since by law the patent applicant is his or her own lexicographer - within reason, they can define the meaning of the words in their application

Requiring plans for manufacturing will never fly. Universities like to patent stuff. Also, via R&D an inventor can identify more than one invention but may have just enough resources to produce one, or they may have "plans" to produce them later, or license to partners for production, etc.

How do you know that AMD does not run its own version of ME?

The only viable solution I see is open hardware.
That's pretty funny considering the iPhone X is the most Android-like phone so far, what with a) getting rid of the home button b) AMOLED screen (welcome to 2009) c) wireless charging. Finally an iPhone with some decent hardware features.
I think what bugs me the most is that `tup` has been around for years now (The v0.1 release was in 2009), and it is almost exactly what I want - it keeps a very similar setup to `make`, but much better support for the stuff `make` makes a bit painful to do. If it had support for `tup clean` and for defining phony targets like `install` I would likely be using Tupfiles for all of my projects.
> The swastika was already quite firmly linked with fascism in Europe by the late 1920s.

It wasn't. If anything, it was linked to preservation of tradition and conservatism. I know from my grandparents, who are Polish Highlanders, that it also doubles for holy cross, and thus was used in sacral contexts or on tombstones:

https://slowianowierstwo.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/1274539...

European fascism builds on pride and glorification of national symbols, and reuse of those. For example here's Polish Fascists symbol that dates to '30s:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Green_flag_with_symb...

This is arm holding sword, and symbol was created as replacement for original symbol that was legendary sword that first polish king used to strike the gates of Kiev as he was establishing borders of first Polish Kingdom.

Likewise symbol of Italian fascists was the Fasces (notice ), roman symbol for power and rule of their government.

Spanish fascists used crests of their past royal family, the Falanga:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bandera_FE_JONS.svg

Here's Croatian fascists symbol:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Usta%C5%A1e_symbol.svg

Swastika was something that Germans adapted for their fascist movement, and it spread from there after the war, but saying that before war the swastika was already firmly linked with fascism is not true.
Absolutely, and that’s always the good strategy. Invest only in that what you understand. He doesn’t have to understand tech nor invest in it; his numbers show it. I for one, and I assume many more here, often suffer from the bias that and consider that everything is tech. Wrong.
My friend was kind enough to show me around a few years ago. The highlights for me were: wine tasting in the mountains not too far from SF, driving down the pacific coast highway and stopping at some random beaches, and going to Half Moon Bay, which was completely empty on a summer weekday.

> Compared to men, women litter less, recycle more, and leave a smaller carbon footprint.

I hope it's true statistically, because I'll call bullshit on that any day.

Instead of inventing roundabout descriptions, let's just call them what they are: close minded idiots.
Please define "personal data rights". Should Best Buy not be allowed to know that you shop there and send you targeted offers based on what you've bought in the past? Should a group of department stores not be allowed to share anonymized customer purchasing data with each other? Why should this one particular thing be banned and enforced (by force) on businesses by the government? Is it actively harming society? If so, how?
I can't argue on merit, and I agree that if everyone used it, it would be worthless. The insiders and professional market researchers would do best, then the group who uses TA, then the buy/hold crowd, then the shoot-the-rabbit sell-low-buy-high group.

I don't think TA is complete garbage, but I agree it's not a fundamental.
This article doesn't explain why they have so much trouble with versioning a protocol that is quite a lot simpler than many IP protocols that work. They shouldn't need GREASE, because anybody implementing TLS should be testing against a dedicated server, identified in the RFC, that connects as a client and jiggles all the knobs.

What, no conformance testing address is in the RFC? There's your problem right there.

To the conspiracy-minded among us, it is clear that "some people" don't want progress on encrypted communications, and know just what percentage of devices need to be intolerant of progress to stall adoption of fixes. Making browsers treat dropped connections as part of the protocol was very convenient for "those people". I.e., this is not (significantly) a matter of incompetent implementers, this is an enemy attack. Deployment plans that assume good faith by all parties fail under enemy attack.

As with everything cryptographic, a threat model is essential. Deployment is as much a part of the system and attack surface as the ciphers.
It may not be the case for all men but I'd say that the article is accurate when it comes to me.
I have a gen1 Echo, and mostly I ask it the weather, the news, play music (through Spotify), and set timers when I'm cooking. Occasionally I'll ask her about my Amazon orders. I've also got it paired to my Fire TV so I can just say things like 'search for the Orville on Hulu' or something, which is easier then typing out what I'm looking for.

We got a regular Echo for the in-laws, and they absolutely love it, but mostly use it as a speaker. We got them a Spotify account as well, so my mother in law can just say 'Alexa, play Josh Groban' and it just works. They loved it so much we ordered them a tap as well so they can use it in the garden come spring.

So it all depends, personally I think $30 isn't bad even if you just use it as a wireless Spotify player, although you'll have to hook it up to good speakers.

I got into btc in 2013 because I could plug a box into a wall and in generated value that I could then use to make purchases. There are people that exist entirely in the crypto economy and did not put cash in or out. BTC is a drop in the bucket compared to other securities in the world, but your premise of that it has to exist on other currencies isn't true in my view.

Doesn’t have to be Bitcoin, and, I assume, Buffet doesn’t mean it either explicitly. Often Bitcoin in many contexts in understood as a synonym of this new digital money.

With a stat like "less than 1%" the order of magnitude is at least 1/10 of 1% otherwise it's an invalid format for a statistic, it's also most likely >= 0.5 because of rounding... 0 is also less than 1 so with your logic the statistic is meaningless.
Scheduling Kubernetes Pods in Different AWS Regions
That's not what the argument is about at all.

Is it? Isn't the performance of that small elite evidence that the state's edict is nonsense? By your logic, shouldn't Jesse Owens have boycotted the 1936 Olympics? Wasn't he a hypocrite for his performance? Even if he hadn't won, the fact of his superlative performance as part of a small meritocratic elite was a spotlight on the falsity of the Nazi state's ideology. In a scant few years, it would be against the wishes of the state for non "aryan" people to even live within the Nazi state, much less to run in track competitions. (1)

Sometimes I think people are more interested in passive-aggression in their protesting than in a coherent ideological message and position.

(1 - With the exception of some African American GI's, some of whom related being treated well by their captors. This was the edict of the higher-ups in the German military, in the interest of maintaining the Geneva conventions.)
You are correct. Not sure why you were downvoted.
IME we had multiple services for each team. But we were in the process of carving several mutually incompatible whales into common, shared services, YMMV. So we had one team maintaining each whale, and our senior engineers would collaborate to identify pieces that could be cut from each and replaced with a common service. If the innards of one whale matched our service better than the others, that whale's team got to write the service. Eventually all the teams would port their products to the new, resulting service.

This meant, for example, that my team, had our whale, an audio transcoding service, an automated transcription service, a post-phone-call messaging service, and several data integrations.

If you need a whole team to do nothing but maintain a service, it seems to me like you built it to do too much.

There were a lot of people who disagreed with the Quantitative Easing, specially some of our trading partners.

As long as you're not running a high-power transceiver (i.e. not consumer gear or consumer gear out of legal spec), I would not be worrying about SWR problems. Consumer Wi-Fi chipsets are designed to be fairly rugged. They normally operate nowhere near their limits.

I work remotely for WorkBeast, a staffing company. We're not tech-driven or a startup, but we're bootstrapped and profitable. My workdays are spent on our custom internal CRM (Rails + AngularJS). I respond directly to the CEO, and have a lot of freedom and responsibility when it comes to my job.

Prior I worked for a handful of local startups and digital agencies - this is the closest to Basecamp culture I've found so far.

Some small non-tech companies share more in common with Basecamp than a lot of tech companies do.
