I will never use this product no matter how good it is due to its name. Hope you can understand that many ppl like me suffer phobia from cockroaches.

You'd need to be using Kodak Technical Pan at a rated speed of 12 to 16 (before filter factors, for continuous-tone images with smooth gradients) in order to get there, though. Kodachrome 25 (in the K14 process version) and Ektar 25 weren't terribly far behind, but neither had a great deal of latitude. And you'd also need something a little flatter than the typical film aperture and pressure plate to really use it. More typical 35mm films - those with usable sensitivities for general photography - wouldn't get you anywhere near there.
> It's singleton and union type support is leagues ahead of Scala and Dotty.

What? I don't understand it's better than dotty which has a proven core? Typescript's type system wasn't (isn't? I don't know) even sound.

> Java devs that have a negative impression of Scala and prefer Kotlin

To each their own but if you learn Scala you can never go back to Java/Kotlin, there is not even a contest.

Well, to be fair he said he could. Yes, it would be possible using a boost converter to jump the voltage, you can certainly draw enough current from an auto battery. But without using external components the only way a car battery would kill you is by creating a spark and igniting hydrogen that the battery produced.
I stayed at Microsoft a lot longer than I should have because I could not imagine what I wanted to do next. That experience ground away at my self-confidence, every day I was there, and I should have left much sooner. Only after leaving did I start to unwind enough that I could imagine other possibilities worth pursuing.

I've heard that the culture varies widely between groups, but the culture in the Visual Studio group was not one which ever had any hope of creating space for me to use the skills and creative outlook everyone genuinely seemed to believe they were hiring me for. If you don't fit the culture, then yes, I agree, leave as soon as you can.
I don't understand how you couldn't save 50% of your income per year while working at facebook.
Contrary to the downvotes, I agree with this sentiment. Technically you don't even need to give 2 weeks notice at most tech firms, it's completely at-will, so you can quit any time you like. Very few people do that though, and for good reason: unless there's a majorly important reason (i.e. death in family, horrible work incident, etc.), doing so leaves coworkers and management in the lurch.

Now, you might think, "I don't owe the company anything", and that's totally true. But at the end of the day, you are in fact working with other people, and how you treat other people (and how they perceive you are treating them) has consequences both on your interpersonal relationships with these people, and potentially on your future career path. Tech is a pretty small community, and people have a funny way of having way too many mutual connections, so quitting (and leaving colleagues in the lurch) might come back to bite you somewhere else down the line.

My advice is usually to quit with enough time to wrap things up or hand them off gracefully, and not to blindside anyone (unless, again, of extraordinary circumstances). This amount of time is totally position-dependent; for some it could be 3 days, for others (maybe the director of an organization) it could be months. But 2 weeks in all cases is nonsense - it's totally dependent on your situation and rapport with colleagues.

> That said, you're going to be unemployable after 2 years

Bullshit. 2 years means time for personal projects that could even make you more employable. Even then, your skills and experience don't suddenly become obsolete. You might not get another job at Amagoosoftple but there are a lot of other companies out there that seek skilled workers.

I'm meh on those sponsorships, but would definitely pay for a commercial-removed sports experience.

People don't realize how much dead time is introduced to professional games solely for commercial breaks.

You can ignore a sponsor logo, you can't get that time back.
Most likely. It's always annoying when startups post good numbers, but fail to mention if they're talking about profits or revenue. For all we know, they may have spent $31,000 on the crypto and $500 on the USB drives.
I don't think not working for 2 years would make someone unemployable so long as they are continuing to hone their craft.
> So they can shoot with shorter focal lengths, which means less weight and better stabilisation.

It doesn’t mean better stabilization once they crop. The weight isn’t a major factor in stabilization. The effective magnification is.
How much and what kind of memory and storage (SATA SSD, NVMe SSD, HDD?) is included in the 3 nodes used for testing? This benchmarking is really interesting but the next level is to understand the cost per tmpC measured. Memory especially and storage is a big component of cost these days.

I wonder how motivating it would be if he said "Hit the target and I'll split $50B of the bonus equally among everybody who puts in extra time to make it happen."

According to Google Tesla has about 37,000 employees, so that would work out to a bonus of $1.35 million per assembly line employee, and he still gets to keep a staggering $5 billion of the bonus. It would make ordinary Christmas bonuses look like chopped liver.
Fundamentally this is true, but bringing yourself to the point where you "just quit" is quite difficult.

I think you're ignoring a lot of human things like that a lot developers are quite isolated and working 60+ hours a week. Their social group is quite likely just their co-workers. Especially for new devs who have relocated.
Jeeves: the first DNS server
Main reason you currently can't remove Cortana, is because Cortana if you leave the additional features disabled, is just a rebrand of Windows Search, a relatively core OS function. Earlier versions of Windows 10 used to differentiate the two, current versions do not.
I observe that too, the iPad 9 inch.
That issue by the way with the wheels and even pieces of the vehicle is 100% the service center. Which is a new service center in... Miami! The shit holes of all shit holes when it comes to getting things done RIGHT. You have to pay the service techs under the table if you want anything I'm willing to bet... just like the rest of that bottom feeder of a city.
Go is probably a winner for the time being for CLIs, just the fact that I can cross compile for 3 platforms with a very simple script makes it very attractive.
I believe so as a few features were removed (or not enabled) from the earlier beta.

I am weary these days of updating right out of the gate as in the past the GA version still felt like an unstable beta, so I will keep postponing the current push until a later date.
> Now that smartphones have so much extra processing and memory capacity.

Not saying that PWAs are necessarily less efficient, but this isn’t a good reason for doing anything on mobile as more power usage = shorter battery life, which is still one of the main issues with today’s smartphones
I'm sorry. I thought it would make me sound like a dad sharing an iPad with a teenage daughter.
HBO has done this for a long time on their streaming service as well, which is maybe why Amazon thinks they can get away with it. Super annoying.

Agree the "we're changing/disrupting the world" meme gets misused.

I'll make an edit for clarity. Disrespect was not my intent.

I'm an historian of the colonial Americas. I agree with the comment below about 1491 being a great guide to this question. The very short answer is that there was an active effort throughout the 19th and 20th centuries to establish a myth of an untouched wilderness that settlers "expanded into" rather than confronting the reality of conquest.

The longer answer involves the above, plus a lot of population demography and source analysis regarding the effects of "virgin soil" epidemics. Crosby's Ecological Imperialism is an excellent guide to that stuff. Even the very earliest European accounts of populations in the interior, like the expedition of de Soto, [1] are describing the aftermath of massive depopulation, since many diseases were spread by an advance guard of European domesticated animals before any Europeans actually showed up on the scene (or at least, any literate ones did).

Thank goodness. We have the Internet. Distribution of content is no longer a task worth a kings ransom. A clever 12 year old can do it in their spare time. These 'professionals' who fall on their face time and time again trying to resurrect their antiquated system which is based solely on the difficulty of getting content from A to B should have been eliminated a decade or two ago. Let us see how well they like capitalism now.

A single monthly bill and maybe a small bulk discount could entice me.
I think its demoralizing because it's active blaming. Charlie doesn't have an attitude problem just because he doesn't like being publicly blamed for something, Bob has an attitude problem because piling it on somebody else is his first reaction.

The proper thing here is to acknowledge that there is an issue, but not assign blame. Go to the person you think is responsible in private, and let them admit the mistake in public if they want. Assigning them blame publicly shows a huge lack of respect, even if it was their fault, while admitting blame freely shows modesty.

Plus, what if it's not Charlie's fault, and his commit simply revealed the problem? Perhaps the actual issue is in a little used function deep down in the codebase, and his commit is just the first one to actually exercise that area the right way? Maybe this whole thing comes around to being Jim's fault instead.
>Even marquee cable TV shows like The Walking Dead are having trouble holding onto viewers.

You can't cite that, The Walking Dead has story and writing problems outside of general TV viewership declines.

I really hate advertising. There's a lot of investment in human psychology, and I sometimes find myself being seduced by a piece of advertising. They really know how to push my buttons.

It's insidious. Even news articles have paid content. Paid placement for TV and movies (Netflix is not immune to this). It's everywhere, and impossible to escape.

We certainly wouldn’t want to permit the trafficking of underage words! Seriously, this is an ugly, puritanical step back for a country that makes quite the show of free speech. If nothing else, censoring books should be a great big red flag for anyone wondering about the impact of FOSTA. Unless the book is a kidnapping manual, this is worrisome.
All biopics / "historical" films should be consumed from the starting point of assuming them as pure fiction, other than, for an example using The Founder, knowing that there is a company called McDonalds and maybe some people with these names were involved with it.
That's how I read it. They're shutting down the S and X production lines that are ahead of schedule to move people over to the 3 assembly line to meet the delivery target.
In a pair of internal memos last week, the heads of engineering and production spelled out measures to free up workers for the Model 3 line and challenged them to reach production goals.

My interpretation of that is that they've eased need for employees in some other departments, and are asking for volunteers to shift to the production line temporarily, not volunteering to work more hours for free or something (I'm sure employees on the line are probably allowed encouraged to work overtime as well at this stage).

The entire presentation of this is odd, and to me just points towards more people trying to manipulate the market. Having a CEO, or even just a manager, send out a memo that appears to me to be a combined pop-talk and solicitation for employees to shift to the line (instead of you know, just reassigning them, because you can as the employer) doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me at all.

All this positive/negative Tesla coverage the last few months is just annoying. Beyond the raw numbers of what they are delivering each week and how close they are to their goal, and how late they are in achieving it, the rest is just spin.
No, you didn't, you said "energy", which is an observer-dependent quantity. "Rest energy" is on the other hand Lorentz-invariant.

You can always find some observer which will see even a chosen massless particle as having a lot more energy than a chosen massive particle, although then you can find observers who will see the opposite. The invariant quantity is what matters.

A comoving observer with much better detector technology than we have today will see relativistic neutrinos and thermal neutrinos in the comoving frame, and (if they exist) relativistic heavy neutrinos and thermal heavy neutrinos in the comoving frame. If cold dark matter is mostly heavy neutrinos, then the energy density measured at a typical point in the comoving frame will have thermal heavy neutrinos as the largest component of these four.

However, nature doesn't single out comoving observers' measurements as more real than anyone else's, the real universe has overdensities (there are relativsitic neutrino jets produced here on Earth, for instance) and underdensities, and the motion of even planetary bodies might kick thermal neutrinos and thermal heavy neutrinos up to relativistic speeds, or conversely wrench relativistic ones down to speeds comparable to Earth's orbital speed (in e.g. a solar system barycentric frame). You would have to know at least two not-yet-known parameters for heavy neutrinos in order to say whether (still in a solar system barycentric frame) Earth would kick a CNB neutrino from thermal to relativistic speeds with greater probability than a CDM heavy neutrino from thermal to relativistic speeds.

But, justifying a paragraph I wrote a bit earlier, in a lab frame with a neutrino or heavy neutrino held at rest at the origin of a set of coordinates when we elastically collide the particle with a heavy atomic nucleus (thus fixing interaction cross section), the former is more likely to wind up moving away from the origin at relativistic speeds than the latter, thanks to its rest mass. I had underspecified the coordinate conditions.
Sounds feasible. I was also thinking perhaps it's about storage/capacity? I'd assume a lot of messages are sent through iMessage, including pictures and video, so perhaps they haven't reached the iCloud infrastructure for the sudden deluge of incoming data.
First time commenting...I found this article highly reaffirming. I'm a frequent uber rider with almost 800 trips on my personal account alone. I take uber M-Th to and from work. The same exact end points. And I've noticed changes with pricing but ALSO with route times:

Pricing - yes it's going up - both from a "this seems higher" perspective but more concretely in the 30 day "pass" I buy that locks in a flat fare for 30 days between 2 specific endpoints. My flat pass fare when up 50 cents a ride between last month and this month. I believe it's gone up in the past as well but don't have my receipts readily available.

Route Time - I believe the uberpool route is no longer (if it ever was) calculated purely on efficiency. Instead, I suspect the individual riders are assigned a priority and then the route is calculated. And I'm guessing the flat fare pass riders are assigned a low priority. My ride times have increased dramatically over the last two months, with 8 rides marked as "late arrival" meaning they took longer than the longest time estimated by the uber app. These rides are approaching 1 hour to go 7 miles (that's right, that's an efficiency of 7mph if you will). The most egregious was a route that literally passed by my block (my home was 3 houses away from the intersection) and took me 10 minutes further out to drop off a co-rider and then 10 minutes to return to the intersection. (I realized too late to jump out.)

So I am guessing they are testing people's tolerances both for 1) pricing and 2) duration. I have some wiggle room with pricing and am willing to stomach some increases. However, I can't stomach the ridiculous routing and excessive ride times. I may be unique in that Uber is the only rideshare app I've used to date but I'm now planning to try out Lyft, read about Waze Carpool, and investigate any other rideshare solutions out there... :)
Take some time to work on stuff you find interesting? That's been the reason I've done it so far.

If you are in the financial situation to do it I would recommend. Granted I work in a location where no one cares if you have a two year gap, let alone a two month, on your resume.

The real trick is not just bum around the entire time otherwise then yes it was probably a bad call.
There are all kinds of films out there, including very very high resolution ones. Gigabitfilm is supposedly 720 lp/mm, which would give you

36*24*(720*2)^2 = 1.79 gigapixels

(theoretically, of course)
I quit my job around two weeks ago (post: https://danshumway.com/blog/leaving-oracle/). I'm mostly working on Open Source now, might expand to contracting in the future.

It was not an easy decision to make; I don't know if that's because of the culture I was in or just because of me. What eventually pushed me was realizing that it wasn't an all or nothing venture; the most realistic worst case scenario is that I flesh out my portfolio, learn a bunch of skills, and then join another company via a better resume.

I disagree about a lot here though. 2 years of income is unnecessarily lavish for most people. If you've worked at a reputable company for a few years, the "prestige" will follow you. No one will care if you worked there for 3 years or 4.
Thanks for the correction -- for a short time I was captivated by the idea of owning a Leica Monochrom when I first heard about them but could never part with the cash.

Yes they make excellent cameras -- particularly the film ones. With care they will last indefinitely. The digital Leicas had some problems at least early on. Maybe they are sorted out by now.

But for the money, you have to just want to own a Leica. The actual camera and optics are no longer unequaled (and for a lot less money) if they ever were.
Not having to switch between apps for different shows would be very nice. And yes, I'm literally reinventing the cable "guide" experience with silo'd channels.

Apple and others are trying to do this their own way, but nobody has something exhaustive that I know of.
> Almost no one has enough savings to last two years. It's an absurd metric and enforces how out of touch the author is.

You should check out r/financialindependence sometime. A whole community of people (358k subscribers at present) who would consider that amount table stakes. I'll admit not all 358k of those subscribers would actually have that much money but it's still hardly "almost no one".
On the other hand, Facebook is made of people, and if the people leave, there isn't a Facebook. If it's not going to happen all at once, it has to happen gradually.

The candidate pool for good devs is still relatively small, too. It does hurt them, incrementally.
Ever had any friends who went to a public (private in the US) school.

One of my mates who went to a mid tier public school and he commented he made sure when sending out his cv the fact that he was a old bedfordian was prominent.

And if I had stayed in Birmingham (UK) and my mum's plan to use family connections to get me into King Edwards had come off dam right I would use that - btw this is the school that is always in the top 3 in the rankings.
Or .. they could do what they currently do and ship HDMI for use with what most people have.

Windows 10 Mobile gets updates every month, just like Windows 10 does. (Also, it's fun to measure how much faster Windows Mobile phones are still patched for major vulnerabilities than Android phones. Even the Pixel took like three extra months to get the KRACK patch.)
Good on you, but you're also kidding yourself. First impressions matter---and hearing someone went to MIT or Harvard or works at GoogFace immediately implies that they passed their rigorous vetting. In the absence of more information and the time to process it, it's a pretty strong signal.

It also matters socially. I went to an Ivy League grad school and a no-name undergrad, so I can provide a point of anecdata that people treat you differently.
I know it is equity, but if they really did that, and if employees could cash it in immediately then they'd all quit because many could likely retire modestly on $1.35M.

But I do agree with the concept, particularly if the equity paid out over ten years or more.
Notable points for consumers are that neither iMessages in iCloud nor AirPlay 2 are in the release, despite being tested in 11.3 betas (and earlier 11.x betas).

I'm not sure what to make of this. On one hand, I'm glad Apple is taking their time to ensure these features are fully stable before releasing; on the other, I wish they were not "pre-announced" as early as they were.

To me, iMessage in iCloud seems to be as risky as the APFS rollout, if not more. I'm guessing that is going to be a one-way conversion, and any issues are going to be very apparent to users. Apple did lots of "test" conversions for APFS over betas before a final release (which is why some updates took so long).

Does anyone have any insight into what a rollout of such a feature looks like? Most iMessage databases are multiple GB, and iMessage has millions of users.
I guess we all assumed still pictures of food in a studio instead of just asking you :)
We've cut the cord, and it's really remarkable when visiting relatives just how frustrating TV ads are to encounter now.
It's not just Model 3's from that service center that are getting lengthy defect reports. I mean /r/teslamotors made a checklist for people[1] and it's giant. Things wrong with cars that I didn't even know were possible in this day and age.
