The past decade has been interesting and I'm still processing it.

My current thoughts are that an appropriate approach is for your systems to document themselves via the applications that they run - inside out.

Though I must abide I cannot fully subscribe to "infrastructure as code" anymore. It has proven just another shift, primarily in toolsets and who (or what) gets say and sway over the capacity, capabilities and efficiencies of the thing you actually care about - the app stack and all of its assembled functionality.

In other words most approaches are still "outside in" - one defines 'x' for deploy fitments and that typically over and over and over again and, typically, with a rigidity that can too easily override and overrule effectively caging your application in scale and scope. With my current tact I am trying to provide for 'y' to "self identify" (via some/any form of config mgmt) where from here you can begin to effectively "deploy to any" by hooking the "application config as code" that, in turn, defines its infrastructure and deploys "outward". The "infrastructure as code" then becomes the servant with its objects and platform definitions etc. and the "appconfig as code" becomes the master where the latter defines its own scope and scale.

Infrastructures have a funny way of mutating into inefficient "definitions" of something that once made sense, on the first day, and forevermore complicating progress with capacity, rules and opinions.

But, generically, snmp is still pretty cool for telling me what I need to know. Strapped that into any end engine and, boom, ask any question, request any inventory.

So.. I track apps, not systems. Systems are expendable, applications are not.
I think it is biological. Babies sleep all day and feed so the parent must attend. Toddlers learn all day nap and go to bed early. Kids can fit a normal routine as well as teenagers but I think that hormonal changes cause teenagers to stay up later and sleep later. In a hunter-gather society this may have been useful for standing guard and raising alarm. Then you have the grandparent/elders who tend to sleep the least. But I also think it is adaptable so as you say people who do sports tend to do so in the mornings. Also if you have a tough work commute you might have off hours to minimize commute time.
This is great evidence of the greater fool theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory

I’ve heard some second hand anecdotes about Magic. Apparently they have one big technology advance, which is that they’ve solved the eye tracking and vertigo challenges of AR. These are hard and not to be underestimated. However the company is supposedly a mess internally - with huge management and political issues. This isn’t surprising - I’ve been in a number of early stage startups and by default they are a mess. Add on top of that billions of dollars of funding and no customers or sales to anchor the company to reality, and its easy to see how AR can become “Alternative Reality”! Further evidence - their recently released headset photos were renderings, not actual products. I genuinely hope that I’m wrong - I’d love for the amazing demo videos they’ve released to congeal into real mass market products.

Does anyone else have good data on Magic?
In either Age of empires, or Rise of Nations, soldiers take steady attrition damage operating on enemy grounds. And, gain health just by being on home or ally territory.

I think this analogy works for introverts vs extroverts.

Introverts take attrition damage dealing with others - especially extroverts.

Extroverts take attrition damage when alone or on slow paced periods.
While that is true, it was the most efficient way to state that while putting emphasis on how easy it was. "Freaking" or some other substitute for the word "fucking" is the next easiest. Simply leaving out the word completely changes the meaning a little.

> It turns out those scripts and tools are just as interesting as the exploits. They show that in 2013 — the year the NSA tools were believed to have been stolen by the Shadow Brokers — the agency was tracking at least 45 different nation-state operations, known in the security community as Advanced Persistent Threats, or APTs. Some of these appear to be operations known by the broader security community — but some may be threat actors and operations currently unknown to researchers.

Plot twist: Around 20 of them turn out to be separate clandestine programs operated by the US Government.
That's great. It doesn't even apply to this title, however. Furthermore, I'm not sure how you can convince yourself to read studies in psychology (among other fields) if you hope for certainty and absoluteness in every implication.
If the world withdraws free trade with China, or realisticly, limits it by imposing tariffs on Chinese products, then the easy growth they've experienced would be gone. If we limit somehow limit their corporate espionage also...I'd expect the extreme suppression of their citizen's liberty and privacy will limit their innovation and growth.
It seems like there's a gap in the logic here.

They're taking it as read that if a remote access / administration application is installed, the voting machine must have connectivity.

Well yes, if the application was to work it _would_ require remote access, but you can install all sorts of software on a machine without it having connectivity.
my thoughts: I was looking for the way you handle exceptions. And found none.
For me any enrichment API needs to be designed to handle exceptional case and make it easy to deal with them.

Say that during enrichment I might want to do some lookups what if one of them is not working...
I was about to comment the exact same thing. It's known for years, now, that they do that. This practice is outlined in the book "Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It," in which the author explains how the NSA has a profile on all (know) Chinese hackers.
Are you kidding me? PC Anywhere on our voting machines??

I doubt that. Its just that everyone wanted to use those fancy facebook/google/whatever logins and nobody really cared for the decentralized login concept.

In fact, the few websites which supported OpenID allowed to use custom providers while OAuth mostly limited to handful of social media providers. So OpenID was a way to decentralize the web and prevent password reuse while OAuth is a strategy by large Social Media corporations to increase your dependence on their brand.

In the end they both might be able to authenticate and to prevent password reusage to some extend, but their motivations and implications are very different.
In my experience, society pressures many bad decisions on people out of social conformity or expectations. For instance, it’s pretty hard to live a genuinely healthy lifestyle in the US. Most jobs are sedentary. Diet options tend to be heavily animal based and fatty or otherwise nutrient poor and calorie rich. Everybody loves tailgating the car going the speed limit, etc. simply opting out of those things will probably result in better health outcomes.

If I have any kind of hard CSS problem, I ask someone else on the team to handle the styling. I could do it, but it would take me 3x as long and make me miserable.

No one else on the team can handle integration with federated identity systems the way I can, though. I know all the technologies and their security pitfalls that have to be coded around. No one else knows those things. Are they nightmares for competent developers and not people who should be in the industry?

I'm glad to see this is moving along. Turbo Pascal was my first "real" programming language (I can't bring myself to consider GWBASIC/QuickBasic to be "real", although that's silly when I write it out...). I spent decades as a Delphi programmer and I still miss it. It's great to see that it's an option for hobbyists.
Not any good data, but I've had recruiters tell me that they don't pay very well (in SV terms), instead opting to sell employees on large options packages that will be "worth millions one day". It's a typical SV story, but one I wouldn't expect from a company that's valued at billions of dollars. That kind of behavior seems shady to me, so I wouldn't even consider working there.

The problem with not using a virtual DOM is that you can't merge in changes to stateful DOM elements. For example, an INPUT field has state (its value, plus its scroll position). If you regenerate the INPUT field from scratch, you risk losing the state. In contrast, if you use a virtual DOM, the vdom mechanism can merge in any changes for you (the INPUT field will stay the object!)

Of course, you can recreate DOM elements with their complete state, but if you'd try to do that with e.g. a VIDEO element, then you risk flicker and reloading of the actual video.
I think "this industry" might be a bit broader than a bunch of CSS experts or even people competent in CSS. This seems to highlight his point rather than dismiss him as a developer. He's not a CSS guy so having people there with him gets his work done faster and helps him understand.

One interpretation of Kelly is maximizing the e.v. of the log return. Another (equivalent) interpretation is maximizing the expected IRR -- which is where the "in the long run" comment comes in, since "in the long run" you care more about the internal rate of return than the expected value of any individual bet.

E.g., imagine a bet that costs $1 to play and pays out $2 with probability 60% and $0 with probability 1%. How much would you bet? The expected value of the bet is $1.2 per dollar you bet, so for a single bet, you might wager 100% of your bankroll. But "in the long run" you'll loose all your money doing this. Instead, Kelly would recommend that you bet only 20% of your bankroll. "In the long run", you'll make infinite money doing this. (Not only that, but there's no other strategy that will make you money faster.)
No, I promise it isn't satire. There are a lot of us out here who are trying hard to get jobs but can't.

I would rather work for $10,000 with a chance at more responsibility and future promotions than not work at all.

Additionally, where I am currently, $10,000 would more than pay for food and rent and internet!
I'm pretty sure this is what being a teenager or in college is for. In middle age I'd much rather spend a week doing a meditation retreat.
Apparently their tech is pretty awesome but getting it down to portable is what’s taking so long.

That might be a rumor but it’d make sense for how much money they’re pulling in.
Oh absolutely. Trying to diet in a major city without spending a lot of time cooking is impossible. And it feels like most cuisines are vegetable-phobic which I cannot for the life of me understand.

I created my SO account via OpenID too, but somehow I am still able to login via email. I don't know, maybe I did something to enable that, but in general there should be no problem using an old OpenID account with SO.
I'll eat the downvotes without caring, in case it makes one person think, because it's the advice I needed 10 years ago to be a more effective communicator, which I didn't take.

Consider "In rural areas, which reflect the dominant lifestyle of human beings for 10,000 years, it was common to have many hours alone to think while performing labour. Hence it's obviously not a privileged mode of thought."
MBAs basically 5 star everyone in a 360 review. One reason is that you may work with these people again or they may be your boss sometime in the future (so yes do good work but why would you screw someone over). It should be noted that your 360 feedback is not anonymous. And two, it devalues the 360 review because it is effectively worthless. I've only seen 360s that work in cross functional teams where each person have independent and specific job responsibilities where the team is evaluated on performance and not the individual.
Reddit banned me. So why didn’t Google and Facebook?
Uh huh. Does this include commercial insurance for "driving people for money"? Because your personal insurance likely has a clause saying it does not cover commercial activity.

What this means: if you get into an accident while engaging commercial activity, you aren't insured. And your license is then revoked due to lack of insurance.

Fun times.
What primarily makes surplus fast isn't necessarily that it doesn't use a virtual dom, but that changes are tracked with a data reactivity library reminiscent of knockout called s.js instead. On the DOM side, it has a compiler like svelte that generates JIT friendly expressions, e.g. el.className = val instead of el[prop] = val.
I remember this... from nearly half a century ago.

The February 7, 1976 episode of The Jeffersons ("Louise's Cookbook") had this plot. A publisher asks Louise to write a cookbook of her ghetto recipes. (spoiler alert) It turns out her family recipes were all from a previously-published book that her grandmother (mother?) had been using.
She's a national treasure. I became a huge fan after her investigation in the 2007/08 financial crisis. She even went against her own party and requested an investigation into why the Obama administration didn't prosecute people responsible.

"A bit too eager to criticize others" is a understatement. Taleb has a lot of interesting things to say, and some of them are even reasonably novel. Unfortunately his general "everybody but me is stupid" approach makes his message much less useful and accessible than it otherwise would be. This is a good example of that problem.

I find this really unfortunate, because Taleb's message about systems behavior being dominated by tail behavior, and about the risks systems not being designed to tolerate that behavior, are very interesting and broadly applicable. Unfortunately, the medium makes the message less effective.

I often think of Taleb as a sort of counter-example when thinking about how to teach and communicate difficult concepts.

I don't see why this would be any more difficult without a vdom. For the textarea, either way you're merging two text blobs, and if the vdom can maintain scroll position while doing this, then so can the non-vdom using the same mechanism.
I'm surprised they have to resort to this. I thought they already had backdoors into our digital private lives.
Doom killed the Amiga kind of like how Quake killed Cyrix x86 clones and to a lesser degree AMD's K5.

It's interesting how John Carmack's technical vision decided the winners in the computer industry at the time.
I don't know how legal all of it was. I know folks in Indiana can keep things like skunks with the proper paperwork, and large animals take more. I imagine this stuff is similar in other areas.

Other animals, such as boa constrictors and iguanas, are bought when small and quickly grow larger than the person can take care of. I imagine large cats, bears, and whatnot are similar to this situation, with more paperwork. I imagine there are lots of places where a rich enough person can have a private zoo, complete with lions, tigers, and bears.

Additionally, there is a thriving black market for restricted animals. Some places, this might be as "mundane" as ferrets. Others, alligators, endangered turtles, and even large cats can be had. I'm also guessing that some folks kill the mother bear and trap the baby with intentions of keeping it.
It's funny. I see heavily animal based and fatty as healthy.

I'd write this as: "diet options tend to be sugar based and nutrient poor, filled with soy and corn syrup."

Even with this revision the hourly wage is well below the $15.00 minimum wage here in Seattle. I wonder if after expenses Instacart and Amazon delivery drivers make any more than the typical Uber driver? I think contractors across all income levels need better protections. Laws should be enacted to guarantee after vehicle expenses that if one drives an Uber for an hour one makes at least a minimum wage.

Much infrastructure in the US is old and critically underfunded for maintenance, much less improvements, even when inadequate. Witness the drama over the collapsing Oroville dam in California, the collapsed bridge in Minneapolis, or more specifically, sewage overflows in Great Lake states.

I lived in Duluth, MN, and anytime there was significant rainfall, the sanitary sewer system would be overflowed by storm water, and dump thousands of gallons of untreated sewage directly into Lake Superior. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/3772570-court-order-du...

Statement on Potentially Unlawful Online Platforms for Trading Digital Assets
the thing that always surprises me when reading my texts from decades ago, is how similar they were to my current thoughts. Circumstances are very different, I'm not.

I've had the exact opposite experience. I blush at the posts I see on facebook from what I've posted 2-3 years back, and that's stuff that I had given a little thought to, before posting.

If I kept a diary/journal, I'd be perpetually embarrassed of my past trail of thoughts.
I'm not arguing at the philosophical level. My views are fairly mundane on that. I'm talking about the implementation of that philosophy (where I agree with you) in academia, as a system.

When I say "build knowledge", I'm speaking colloquially. For a contrived example, we know traits are inherited by animals via genetics. We're confident enough to treat this as knowledge and design other expirements that take this as an assumption. Are we building this kind of knowledge in social science, currently?

Does "more research needed" lead to more research being done, typically in a field? If not, why? Why are we moving on to a new question, when the last one is still unanswered.

Take a "willpower is a limited resource" hypothesis (replication issues aside). It does not seem impossible to answer this question. Nothing in science is "knowledge" in an absolute sense, but we can get to some level of confidence.

So.. do we want to know the answer to this question?

If not, why do the the first expirement? If yes, then what would it take to get to an answer? We can answer that partially in advance. Independant replication will be part of the answer. Sufficient sample size also. If we know in advance that these things won't be done, what is the point?

I'm an outsider and I realize I may be throwing unwarranted dirt, so if/where I am, apologies. I think that in some fields we systematically do not do the things necessary to get to useful knowledge, a sufficient accumulation of evidence to treat a result as more than anecdote.
> Trying to diet in a major city without spending a lot of time cooking is impossible

What? Are you expecting to be able to eat high quality, nutritious, and tasty food without investing either more time or money? I live in NYC and you can absolutely eat healthy food without cooking, it just costs a bit more.

not to excuse significantly lower pay from magic leap, but their compensation might be calculated based on their office location in Plantation, Florida which I presume has significantly lower real estate (rental or purchase) costs than the bay area.

I think any kind of AR glasses that do not look like regular glasses are going to be a tough sell to the general public at least. I think we're still years away from this kind of tech though. I mean if it were possible today Apple would be all over it. Can Magic Leap pull it off before Apple if it is at all possible to do it in the next 5 to 10 years? I'm doubtful.
For additional context, please take a look at the other comment I just added in this thread :)!

Right now, my friends and I are unemployed. We would love to be able to work on any project where someone believes in us. $10,000 is more than enough to cover food, rent, internet, etc where we live. And if there is a chance at future promotions and additional responsibility for a bump in pay, then great!

Right now, I would rather work hard and gain connections who trust me as a worker, than not work at all. I am working on my side projects, but those aren't profitable, are still in dev, and generally I haven't found an employer or investor who is interested in the project or translatable skills

This value seems to make a bit more "common sense" style sense - but it's still way too low for a "non-tip" job. Hell, it's probably even too low for a job with tips (which bugs me, but separate topic).

Given that Uber is most popular in the bigger cities where the cost of living is correspondingly higher, is it enough?
