Yeah so has anyone actually tried to get ElasticSearch up and running lately? I just tried and had a terrible time, despite the fact that I was using ElasticSearch + Kibana, and it was dockerized, and it was on Kubernetes (there's more complexity, yes, but all those tools make deployment simpler once you understand them, not harder -- writing a pod resource config to get a thing running means I don't have to run around my system changing settings, I just put all of it in one place). XPack was just another stumbling block while trying to get everything running.

The combination of lack of documentation, inconsistent/changed configuration (ENV vs YAML vs values that just don't exist anymore), breaking changes between versions that rendered Kibana completely useless, and the recent (?) removal of plugins that expose web APIs (so I couldn't use something like elastic-head. This is all in Kubernetes btw -- maybe it's just that I wasn't smart enough to get it done, but it's so easy to write functional (if not well-configured) configurations for other databases, I was at a loss for words when nothing I tried worked right.

I got so angry trying to set up ElasticSearch that making a F/OSS competitor is now #2 on my list of projects-to-do-next. I'm sure the thought is naive but I need to find out for myself that there's no easier way.

Imagine if the team behind Prometheus had focused on search instead of metrics? That's the kind of tool I want to use. A tool as focused, easy to start, clearly documented, and straightforward as prometheus.

Cyber City Oedo 808 is excellent visually and story-wise. It's the one bit of scifi I recommend more than anything else, and I've never found someone who didn't like it.
Yeah, but Symbian Belle was like their third try at "touch OS" by that time. It was too late just like it was for BlackBerry with QNX.

At that point it was all about the ecosystem. It didn't matter anymore even if they did get the OS right.
Yes, if you’re independently wealthy this doesn’t apply to you. Otherwise you’re in the same boat as everyone else. People who work for themselves have n bosses instead of one boss. You can prefer one or the other but it’s not really that different, I think.

Are you seriously whataboutism events from a few hundred years ago? Wow. Just wow.

People in China cannot speak. We have to speak for them somehow. Here is a snippet from a reddit post from a student in China.

“
It's been 4 days now. I look around, everything looks the same, but I know, it's not the same world anymore. He choose to become a dictator officially maybe means nothing to most foreigners, but as a Chinese born and raised in this land, I know it's just the beginning of a series following "1984" episodes, and maybe even worse: Cultural Revolution 2.0. This may not happend in 10 years, but I live here, we live here, someday, something very bad is gonna happen again, and I can't do anything to stop or evade it.

A lot people around me seems calm and quite. Maybe they already learned to "shut up and having fun while you still can", or, maybe they are just like me: too shocked and depressed to think of anything to comment. I feel so helpless and scaried, it's like, how do I put this? sitting in a biulding which is on fire, you watch the black smokes and red flame coming from the bottom, but you can't find a way out of your room, there isn't any extinguisher in the room neither. All you can do is just sitting in the corner, hugging yourself tight, waiting for that momnent to come, in despair and silence.

sorry my English sucks, I tried my best to write in English. As a native Chinese, I can't stop to feel pessimistic about the future, hell, now I know we are doomed, it'll be easier to suffer if just push me off the building instead of letting me watch it burning for decades.“
Reddit could ban that entire crack den of T_D and friends.

Let them go to voat, it was specifically founded for the alt-right, same as gab.ai as a Nazi twitter clone. They're all alone out there and don't have any influence anymore... the problem with T_D specifically is that their users lesk out to other, normal subreddit and spew their stuff there. Ban the subreddit, ban all the top commenters/submissions, their admins and forward the dirty stuff to law enforcement.
Nope. It’s every single company. Every one, believe it.
7 cents per employee per month isn't exactly a generous discount either. Even if your chat is down for half the work day (4 hours), you're looking at $3.55.

I mean, it's better than nothing, but let's not pretend it's compensation for lost productivity either.
While I’m totally in agreement with the second part of your comment, the first part may not be true.

No, this is not correct. Once an event horizon forms, everything inside the horizon will hit the singularity, because the singularity is not a place in space, it's a moment of time, which is in the future (and the not too distant future for holes of reasonable size--the time from horizon to singularity for a black hole of 10 solar masses is about 100 microseconds) for everything inside the horizon.

We don’t actually know if there’s a singularity within the event horizon. GTR predicts it, but that’s in the context of the breakdown of the predictive power of the theory. Until/Unless we have a viable theory of quantum gravity what is inside an EH is speculative. Quark stars or any form of conventional matter are right out obviously, but Fuzzballs or some other novel “structure” can’t be ruled out yet.

Having said that, I’m not a string theory adherent, I’m just pointing out that within the event horizon we need a complementary theory to augment GTR and QM.
"Throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks" is probably the strategy... because Google acts like oil and makes everything fall off the wall in that space.
The dead man switch isn’t an option, but using the Apple Configurator (https://support.apple.com/apple-configurator), there are lots of additional security features that can be enabled that aren’t accessible via the iPhone’s UI.

EDIT
Using Apple Configurator, you can change the number of times unsuccessful attempts can occur before erasing an iPhone to anything between 2-10.
Awesome work! I am learning a language and have been fantasising about a tool like this.

What about support of non-latin alphabet languages? I'm learning Dari at the moment. It uses Arabic alphabets, the words are a string of alphabets, there is tenses, verbs, nouns, adjectives. It's different to English only by the alphabet used, the vocabulary and the ordering of the verbs/nouns/subject.

Is it possible for it to be opened up to third parties to contribute new languages?
"And suddenly you spent two hours of your life and downloaded several GB of tools. All to build a 20kb library, for a language that doesn't even need compiling. How do I build this library 2 years from now? 5 years?"

:D
That's true, never ever use photos of people from free stock websites/creative commons photo dumps. Paid photostocks require photographers to submit scans of signed model release forms. This is unfortunate for tiny/unprofitable websites, but — really — a few dozens of dollars for a stock photo with a guarantee of model release and a license is absolutely worth it.
It also appears to assume that someone could help them. There are plenty of times where knowledge of a project or component is simply lost, either the developers don't remember or are gone, it's one of the costs of employee turn over.
Does paying for Spotify actually help any artists meaningfully though?

I've been wondering whether paying for a Bandcamp album every so often to match the cost of Spotify, and pirating music otherwise would actually benefit artists more.

I've read that Spotify pays fractions of a cent per play, where as Bandcamp pays out quite well, better than iTunes and Google Play.
For Triplebyte they have a two hour interview with a real engineer who has passed their own interview. Even if you cheat on the live interview, you still have to do an on-site at the company that might hire you, so it’s not a huge benefit to cheat.
What's a dialect and what's a language is quite hazy. Bulgaria and Macedonia speak nearly the identical language, and are quite similar culturally, but are considered different nations. From Northern Italy to Sicily the linguistic variation is so much that a dialect can be more similar to a different language than a dialect at the other side of the country. Many nations speak multiple languages that they recognise, e.g. Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Spain (not sure if recognised), many have multiple native languages in their own borders, but do not recognise, e.g. Turkey, France. In many nations the culture of certain areas are more similar to close areas across a border than to another part of the country. Many nations have multiple large religious groups, e.g. Lebanon, Bosnia & Herzegovina, India, Ethiopia.
That first sentence, if true, already narrows the search space drastically for anyone who wants to find you, especially given the length of your comment.
There's a lot of writing about the omission that I think explains Jackson's thinking (and it's clear he thought about this).

Personally I think Tom is one of the most important moments of the book, but not as part of the plot; rather, it's fascinating to somebody who considers the LoTR as an archetypal myth, because Tom's identity is intentionally kept mysterious, even when his powers are not.
> Personally, I think they should have gone with AOSP

It's certainly complex to armchair quarterback the idea, but I don't think Nokia would have had any more luck than Amazon's FireOS (or the failed/doomed commercial attempt at Cyanogen, for that matter) if they had attempted that. AOSP has long been a seemingly open carrot with far too many hidden and closed sticks in Google's control.

Apologies in advance for shitting on this, but PLEASE STOP BUILDING BUILD SYSTEMS.

We already have a serious incompatibility problem with projects using autotools vs CMake vs Meson vs gyp vs Boost.Build vs SCons vs BUCK vs... and now we throw Please onto the pile.

It sucks when you find a smallish library and discover it uses an esoteric build system whose dependencies dwarf the library themselves (cough Yoga). The OSS community needs build system consolidation, not tacking on a 15th wheel to the cart.

Read the FAQ, it's just bananas:

> It [Bazel] is a great system but we have slightly different goals

> We preferred [Buck] to other options available, but again we're focused on different goals

> we didn't think it [Pants] was the ideal fit for us at the time

"All other systems had slightly different goals or weren't the exactly ideal fit, so rather than contribute to or extend them we poured an enormous amount of energy into rebuilding them in a slightly different way."

“’m studying in a university in China rn and holy fuck I thought I entered an alternate reality, my classmates were all talking and worrying about the issue on the internet few days ago before they were censored out but after that , no one dares to talk about it in the campus , it’s dead silence , I KNOW everyone cares but everyone is just so afraid , this is pretty much a 1984 scenario in real life and I don’t know what else can we do. I guess they have already won in this point . :(”

Cross-platform just means more than one platform. Nothing more. There's segments of developer market that don't need Windows support. Those targeting Linux/BSD, Mac desktops + Linux-based backends (i.e. cloud), multiple UNIXen (eg Linux + Solaris), embedded developed on Linux boxes, etc.

I encourage Windows versions of cross-platform apps wherever the app could justify it due to all the developers and tooling on Windows. Yet, non-Windows apps can be cross-platform.
My last child got a good job today, and as well as a certain pride I feel a sense of relief similar to when we paid off our mortgage.
Sorry for a very late reply.

Usually when people are new to management they don't quite see the forest for the trees. I certainly was. Usually it's easy to communicate business needs because above all else, managers typically have those thrown at them from day one. If you can highlight the ones ones that match up with your company's goals then you may have an in.

For example

Eliminating Technical Debt
Company Goal: Decreasing time to Marketplace
Supporting Evidence: Feature X was delayed by weeks because the $WIDGET1 was written in an old framework that is no longer supported and no one here knows. Our next project involves modifying $WIDGET2 which is in the same framework and will surely delays us similarly if we don't apply the changes we made to $WIDGET1.

Contrived example, but you get the point.

If you can't formulate that argument, perhaps the technical debt shouldn't be resolved yet and your manager has a point (even if he doesn't know it)
"Writing documentation and fixing bugs is in fact not the bar for a senior software engineer."

Good management will also avoid including people unnecessarily and encourage a culture where people can depart when it's obvious they're not needed. I tried making an early exit from meetings more acceptable with humor. But ultimately everyone has to buy into the idea.

I'm sorry about your troubles, but you probably didn't even have permission from the authors of screenshots to publish them on your website (again, according to current unfortunate copyright laws), so you might as well consider yourself lucky because you weren't sued by the authors of the software. Yes, screenshots of software are copyrighted, yuck. (That's why Wikipedia doesn't have full-size screenshots of proprietary software, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Microsoft_Word_on_Windows...)
Agreed. I can't believe how combining Apache and non-apache licensed source code in a single repository is a good thing.
At Google there is a peer bonus benefit. You can peer bonus someone for doing something awesome. Each peer bonus is $150 before tax. You can list your peer bonuses on your promo packet. You can give as many of these out as you want ... within reason. Sometimes at Google they do something called a peer bomb, where many people will peer bonus a single person.
- It's nice to openly cite a verse when referring to well-known sources Koran, Bible, Iliade, etc.

- The idea of "nation" before the second half of the second millennium and after that point is quite different. Nation as in nascere, in the biblical sense, denoting bloodline, is quite different from how modern nations define being a national.
I suspect that blockchain will eventually serve as a peer to peer database. If you can make it secure and no one needs to put up the infrastructure to maintain then it's a boon for car makers. We have a long way to go but it has promise.

Law and medicine are not relevant examples at all.

In both cases, licensing did not arise because of hiring issues, but rather because both law and medicine directly involve human lives and livelihoods.

Any field where this can be the case on a day-to-day basis ends up having strict licensing and/or training requirements. Examples include civil engineers, pilots, soldiers, sea captains, heavy machinery operators, and so on.

The Reveal podcast did an excellent bit where an undercover reporter worked as a prison guard:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.revealnews.org/episodes/the...

One of the things that really struck me is that when the prison stopped offering programs to occupy the inmates time, they tended to fill it themselves. By getting into fights. So aside from the punishment aspect, there seems to be real value to the system to have pastimes that keep a lid on things, be they work programs, classes, or a cheap board game.

I don’t have many public repos. My biggest one is just a web app (mostly in Java) that I wrote as part of applying to a job.

I’m guessing this sort of thing is part of the reason JavaScript’s numbers are so strong.

IIRC, Windows Phone 7/8/8.1 defaulted to HERE Maps platform wide (not just Nokia devices, but certainly on Nokia devices) in the main Map app due to the partnership, despite Microsoft's large investments into Bing Maps. Maps on mobile I think only "recently" reverted to Bing in Windows 10 with the expiration of the deal with HERE Maps.

The Lumias always had a number of exclusive Nokia-only "accessory" apps like Glance that were so well embedded they seemed like built-in Windows Phone apps (and unsurprisingly subsequently became built-in platform-wide apps post-Nokia acquisition) that a lot of people didn't notice they were Nokia services/value adds. On the one hand, that was part of why the Lumias were so great at the time was how seamlessly they upgraded the platform as a whole, but on the other hand, it's a weird marketing failure that comparison shoppers may not have realized what was an important value-adding Nokia app/setting/feature and not a Microsoft app/setting/feature, and what value Nokia was adding on top of the platform.
Having Rust support embedded is only half the story: we need to lobby/advocate for chip makers to support Rust. The article doesn't directly call this out, but I think it's important for Rust to truly succeed in this space.

Most embedded systems are fairly closed ecosystems built on vendor-specific stacks, and most professional embedded engineers wouldn't want to use Rust until the vendors support it.

This isn't to say the hobby world (ala Arduino/Raspberry Pi) wouldn't benefit from Rust, but I think the long-term viability depends on the ARMs, STs, TIs and Renesas' of the world starting to embrace Rust. To date I haven't seen this happen (although I'd love to be proven wrong!)
