I don't ever use their webmail, to be honest. I've got native mail clients on my devices that I connect to Fastmail with IMAP. To compare apples to apples it seems most relevant to compare storage tiers, MXroute is 5/month for 20gb, Fastmail's 5/month plan is 25gb (but single-user only).

I personally don't really want to deal with cPanel, too. Not because cPanel isn't cool, but because I explicitly wanted to pay somebody to do the management for me so I didn't have to get too in-the-weeds. I'm certain I'd misconfigure something somewhere and I just don't want to deal with that.

EOD it seems mostly like personal preference and how much you want to tinker. Value for both seem close to the same.

Dang. Would containerization solve this, or at least help mitigate the damage?

Rachel's stories are always interesting, I always find myself learning new things from them, and I have been for over a decade now. They are a great reminder of my sysadmin past, now that I mostly do DBA work anymore. However, I do wonder if I should be sending her aspirin or tequila as tribute at times...
Even the kernel occasionally breaks interfaces. Case in point, FUTEX_FD was introduced in 2.6.0 and retired in 2.6.26 [1].

I don't think anyone working on glibc is intent on breaking user space. Sometimes it's just the most pragmatic solution.

Wow, I didn't see this one coming.
I think it's the most important sources of my cognitive dissonance around git. It strengthens the illusion that a working directly is somehow related to a git store, which it really isn't.

You have a working directly/checkout - that can be: identical (apart from ignored files) to some version in git; or different.

If it's different ; some or all changes can be marked for storing in the git repo - most commonly as a new commit.

It's a bit unfortunate that the repo typically is inside your work directory/checkout - under '.git' along with some files like hooks, that are not in the repo at all...
Well apparently you can agree to forfeit rights unless they’re inalienable
Your work is very pleasant to look at, Alex!
Absolutely, we've had several discussions about it, mostly surrounding the unrealistic expectations of women and sex in general that it promotes and its effect on emotional development of your brain.

It does no good to tell someone they can't do something without explaining why. I encourage him to ask questions when he doesn't understand something, and will never give "because I said so" as an answer.

My goal is for him to understand why these things are harmful while protecting him from them until he has the facilities to manage it on his own.

Just like a bike with training wheels. Teaching him to ride while protecting him from falling, until he can ride on his own.
Even if you think your work is trivial, it may not be so for others. :) Also, gives an opportunity for people to extend the current feature set. Entirely your choice though.
Fair enough.

Nothing as in $0. For a lot more than nothing in terms of personal satisfaction.
No. You have some rights you can waive away. Remember that "warranty void if removed" sticker from a few days ago, or eula in general? Inalienable rights can't be taken off, even by yourself.
It Built an Empire of GIFs, Buzzy News and Jokes. China Isn’t Amused
I think this is absolutely spot on. So many people put their programming expertise or productivity down to some innate quality (that is apparently overabundant in white men). To me it seems nearly every one of those rockstar ninjas has also spent an enormous amount of time learning their trade - usually a lot of time outside of formal school or a 9-5 job.

I think if there's one skill that might be innate and that helps people be better at programming, it's patience. Learning to program and learning programming tools is for most people a boring and extremely frustrating task. You need patience to stick with it after spending two days solid trying to debug some linker error or CSS bug or whatever esoteric programming issue you inevitably have to deal with.
Cool, what about the whole gender pay gap?

Would make it more interesting being able to add it together with the salary data...
I dunno, I've seen people try to do this, and they either really really struggle, or don't and never get to that point. People who aren't talented really do need their hands held, self study just won't ever get them there.
All financial instruments are speculative. The fundamental value is only ever part of the question, because fundamental value divorced from resale value would likely never pay itself off for most investments in most people's lifetimes. Even Warren Buffet speculates on price, because he takes a bet on fundamental value relative to market value.

You think cryptocurrencies are not investments because they aren't economic producers. Cryptocurrency is not an economic producer, because currency is not an economic producer. It is an economic enabler though, and currencies have intrinsic values related to their various properties that affect how they enable economies: backed by gold, backed by government trust, backed by cryptography, identity and trust in the controller of money supply, anonymity vs transparent identity, transaction speed, liquidity, legal legitimacy, etc.

The best historic analogy for the investment profile of the cryptocurrency craze right now is war bonds. With war bonds, you are investing in the success of the nation issuing them. Failure of that nation means default. Success means that bond is convertible to national currency that has a liquid marketable value. Right now the utility of those cryptocurrencies is low: transaction volumes are low, liquidity is low, acceptance is low. But by speculating on cryptocurrencies, you are betting on their future utility, with the caveat that most will likely fail and be completely worthless in the long run. Yes, it's speculative...just like every other investment out there.
Couldn't I or a million other individuals that aren't multinationals with holdings in Europe just start a news site while thumbing my nose at their inalienable rights?

The German law was targeted only at news aggregators. The legal text of the proposed EU version has no such limitation.

As for clear (ahem) statements who this is actually aimed at -- here's Commissioner Oettinger, who was responsible for the first edition of this proposal:

"If we don't act now, there will be fewer and fewer news articles to link to." "Even iPhone, tablets and Facebook are offering news feeds nowadays. We want to strengthen publishers not least in relation to these new providers"
Translated from German https://twitter.com/GOettingerEU/status/772785182550159360
Facebook even tracks people who aren't Facebook members. It can build profiles on people who aren't members to learn more about people it can identify and suggest ads/products they might be interested in too.

Man, if there was some reliable way of measuring knowledge we would probably solve education in about 10 years...

The article actually just talks about distribution of teaching modes, but links to an article about positive outcome from active learning that uses passing rate as metric.
>The issue I have is when this model is applied to certain software that doesn't directly provide added value over time

As a professional photographer, Photoshop does provide value over time for me and my colleagues.

Why would you pay for something that you don't use?

I honestly don't understand what the problem is, if something doesn't add value, then why would you pay for it?. I don't see a real "issue" here.

Well, the whole point is to NOT need to do any Y-scaling. What would be the case for zooming in?

In servers you can take those disk IO (and many other) metrics with telegraf, store them in a local/remote (storing locally may change the disk IO measurements, but probably it will be a constant factor) influxdb, and visualize them with Grafana.

There are plenty of alternative tools for that, but the point of the article is that helps in the visualization to use a log scale.
Yes, the style guide is informative and Google does have reasons for doing things the way they do. However, they way they are doing things is decidedly not embracing Modern C++. Their teaching material will reflect their philosophy. Therefore, when you are learning modern C++, you should avoid their material. After you are comfortable with Modern C++, then you will have the perspective to differentiate the good advice applicable to you.
In my view programming is definitely a talent or just willingness to put up with things a lot of people wouldn't want to. When I explain to a lot of people in detail what I do during the day and the things I have to think about most people think this is a rather boring and tedious job they don't want to do.

It's the same for a lot of jobs. Intellectually I can do what pure business people or lawyers but I don't find it interesting so I don't have passion for it and will never do well.

On the other hand the first time I saw programming stuff I got excited immediately and had passion for it. I think that's my real talent.
There is obviously a certain leeway in time allowed for a deletion request to actually be fulfilled.

But other than that: if technology gets in the way what people and the law demand, it's technology that needs to change, not people.
> I question whether I'm wasting my prime earning years (comp.Engineer)

Gonna be brutally honest. I think you are. Fellow Indian here, also came on H1-B to US, survived 5 layoffs in 2 companies over a 10 month period in the .COM boom and bust. Many of my fellow engineers, waay smarter than me, were not so fortunate. Some went back to India, others found jobs in UK and rest of Europe.

Your complains are what I hear from them even now.

Your comps ( #s ) also check out. I run http://www.visaok.in and routinely find that jobs in Denmark, Germany, UK and couple of other countries pay about 40% to 50% less than the same in US for the same job title and similar description.

Most professions have a prime and a software engineer's career, IMO, peaks at around late 30s or early 40s in terms of the base salary and compensation. I've found the range for a Sr. Software Engineer in a non-Silicon Valley / FAANG company to top around 150K to 170K in San Francisco / Bay Area. If you are average in terms of abilities, you can easily get a Software Engineer job at the IT department of a medium to large corp here in San Francisco for about 110K to 140K. Grow from there.

I would say try to come back to US on an H1B or any other Visa. Try to tell yourself you are here temporarily, and that you can always go back to Denmark as a fall back, or after you've peaked here and want to settle down and work towards FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).

This may be a harder sell if you are married to a European and went there for that reason. Most western women, I found from experience, always want to move back to their home town after marriage, even if it's a bone chilling place like Siberia or Wisconsin or Alaska.
To be a little fairer you should transcode it to both x264 and x265 so that the outputs are can be compared to each other (rather than comparing the transcoded x265 to the source x264 as you did, which isn't quite the same thing).
Yes. It's clear to me that the priorities and incentives that Reddit operates with are not those they talk about. So surely "Reddit cares" but it's ridiculous on its face to pretend that what they care about is what they're saying in public.

there are a few commercial knowledge-base software vendor.

to use open source, wiki is not structured and i really don't like that much, folder-files are hard to manage once you have many files.

CMS could be used(e.g. drupal), however I hope CMS can support markdown _natively_ which is not the case for now.

I have spent so much time to find ways to organize knowledge myself, to no avail, I use drupal 7 along the year, which is not great, but I could not find anything better.
I use FastMail and quite like it, the main selling point for me was that it wasn't Google (I care less about that now though.)

The billing is awful (they may have changed it and I may have not noticed) but I login every three months or so to manually renew a three month subscription, I don't think there's recurring monthly billing.
Ah, maybe I have a pretty hot promo deal then, I've got unlimited at mxroute.

I've also read mxroute's writeup on why they use cpanel, and apparently it just made sense to use it for user configuration, and that under the hood it's all a very unusual setup (I don't understand enough about email to be honest).

I worked on this system. Account deletion is a completely separate process from content deletion. The latter can in some cases just mark data as deleted or ready to be garbage collected, but the former actually deletes everything associated with an account. There are some nuances that are hard to explain well in front of a bunch of Senators though: your messages to other people will still stay in their inbox, it's not feasible to purge backups so there are tapes with your data around for several months. Also, derived data (ML models, etc) trained with the account data sticks around, although this isn't really identifiable info.
As far as I know, you are quite correct. I should have tempered with generally speaking.
I'm not singling out "Russian trolls" for lying on Reddit. I'm singling out Steve Huffman for lying on Reddit. Presumably there's a distinction.
The passing rate has improved a bit but dropout rates are essentially unchanged. What has mostly changed is that the students can’t fake the fact they didn’t do the work. My dean has been supportive. I don’t do student opinion surveys so I don’t have information with regard to that.

The same tension applies to a hypothetical mesh-network Internet, compared to the telco-backbone Internet: good for freedom and autonomy, bad for usability and performance. Alas, consumers tend to vote with their dollar for the latter. The "siren server" problem described by Jaron Lanier in "Who Owns The Future?" is a wicked problem when it comes to marketplace traction.

In the case of both mesh networks and dapps, I think the greatest potential is in the developing world, where centralized infrastructure is absent or inadequate.
> The state of education at the moment is so bad that unschooled yet talented individuals can be much much better at fulfilling business requirements than trained and educated professionals.

I'll try that in medicine. Talented midwifes were delivering babies in the 1900s. Since midwifery is still a thing, maybe medicine is not as far advanced as you imply.

Seems like talent still plays a big role in any field.
Interesting question, I would guess contingent on: does software count as a "part"?
Regardless of protocol/software used, I think it could still be called an answer to Firebase, since AppSync and Firebase are both "backend-as-a-service" systems with realtime updates, useful for rapid app development.
That phrase is also a modern aphorism, an allusion to the many inspiring stories of an entrepreneur's will and dedication to commercial success. Edison slept in his lab, for instance.

Well passing rate is a very bad meaurement. It’s so easy to fudge. In math a standardized final exam written by a third party would be a much better measurement of learning in my opinion.

I wonder why most companies building simple CRUD apps still don't use those services (AppSync, Firebase, Graphcool, etc)? Seems like cheaper than hiring a backend developer + a devops.
Voss is a tool, but it's true that right-wing parties are currently a majority in the EP, and they are flexing their muscles. However, there is barely a year left to this term - that's not much, to get this sort of thing through. Among other things, it needs a majority in the Council, which can be challenging depending on the political issue du-jour.

To me, to be honest, this looks like a classic overreach designed to cover a land grab: the "obligation" of remuneration will be inevitably shot down, but some other wording will be found that will enshrine the basic right of content producers to demand payment for links if they wish to do so.

I guess we'll see.
Must have been a limited deal. I'm $15 a year "unlimited" storage.

edit: looks like they have a deal at $60 for 2 years with 40GB, still unlimited domains and users, which to me is the main draw.
Maybe not for the 300-500k/year region, but for the 80-200k/year region:
At least for software/engineering roles in big (non banking) companies a salary in the 90 - 120k region is quite possible, for product/sales people with all bonuses probably more. I got around 82k (plus variable bonus and retirement stuff) after 2.5years. 3rd job after my graduation. 6th or 7th (relevant) job all in all.

Considering how much lower the cost for living (compared to eg. SF is) and how much other stuff is covered (insurance, retirement, general infrastructure stuff), the divide is not that big. But it's still there (and pisses me off, too). The company I worked for payed considerably higher salaries for otherwise equal roles located in SF (and constantly complained about the quality they got for their money in SF). That was also often a reason quoted for lower yearly bonuses for the whole company, which again pissed everyone off..
This is however not the plastics the article is talking about - at least not the one that was a problem for the whale. The article says "plastic bags, nets, ropes, plastic sacks, and even a plastic jerrycan" - not a nanometer-scale fibers.

Since the hot mess that was 2016 on Facebook went down, I've been pondering this a lot.

Facebook was an effective rear view mirror, for a whole lot of us. The more savvy among us could see the storm clouds gathering on the horizon literally almost since the beginning , but certainly by late 2014/early 2015 it was plainly obvious that psyops were afoot, though even to a lot of plugged in hackernews type people the full-blown industrial scale of it all wasn't immediately obvious.

That's whats so insidious. It's the model. It's the first person perspective that facebook locks you into. It looks like reality, and it contains people you know, but it is not real.

You don't really know who wrote what, who liked what, etc. There's no global view of facebook for a user. I think that's the problem.

The first person view that you're locked into with facebook, makes it trivial to manufacture the appearance of group consensus when no such thing exists in the real world (if you have access to the backend).

The problem really is facebook, not the concept of social media all together. The problem is also that Facebook knew what it was doing. They were building a political doomsday machine from the get-go, they knew that's what they were doing, and they designed specifically to that goal for a decade with practically limitless funding.
> It's a leading question which is based on what?

On facts. If you read the comments, there are multiple sources for this claim. Even if the particular commenter did not have the source link handy, this is discussed a lot and they might have heard about it or read about it in relevant places and remembered the fact. Even if they didn't, assuming that the country with world's biggest population, one of the world's biggest manufacturing bases and known for not-exactly-excellent attitudes toward environmental issues may be a major source of waste is not an unreasonable assumption. It could be wrong (which it isn't, but it could theoretically be), but jumping from that assumption directly to "racism" accusation is plain insane and can only be aimed at preventing proper factual discussion instead of facilitating it. I think you should apologize for mentioning "racism", especially that you yourself admit China is a major polluter (not that it would be racist even if it weren't but even more in this case).
Unless it is detached. :)
Same way you'd bootstrap if you needed developers, and couldn't afford to hire developers. You can either study and try to do it yourself, you can offer equity (although lawyers are generally smarter than developers in this area, and few will take just equity, but you might be able to find someone), or you do it the old fashioned way and get a small business loan from a bank.

Although, as has been said, you don't need an LLC if your business is not "there" yet.
