AdSense was definitely a revolution in many fronts, especially because it enabled small sites to start earning a decent income. And for that we'd be eternally grateful to Google. On the other hand Google back then didn't have the variety of products they have now so profiling was much less intrusive.
Sometimes agile is the right way to exert control back against management, if management is prone to chaos and disorder.

I took an organization that couldn't put out two releases a year to one that put out once a month, and the owner/manager complained bitterly and pushed new features into the discussion ON THE DAY OF RELEASE.

2nd level management had to constantly, repeatedly attest to the good that the tempo and structure brought to the organization and customers.
Nope. Reconfiguration takes milliseconds. Also, Arria 10 supports partial reconfiguration which means that the FPGA can keep operating while some of the logic is reconfigured via bitstream.
Still, only 1.5Tflops (roughly 750Ti level), which makes it insufficient for bleeding-edge robotics, but 8GB is nice for inference. NVidia has some high-performing board for automotive, but that one is 500W for a change...
isn't this it?

> estimation is a skill

I've seen a lot of people suggest variations of this, but after 25 years, I still suck at it. Everybody I've ever worked with has sucked at it. Everybody I've ever even heard of has sucked at it. Maybe I've had a two-and-a-half decade of bad luck, but in 25 years I've encountered exactly two types of people: people who insist that "estimating is a skill and you have to develop your skill" but don't actually practice estimation, and people who suck at estimation.
No, I think it's perfectly fine to leverage managed services. (We did however replace SQS with Sidekiq, as that was a better fit, and we do use Redis on Elasticache) I tend to take the position of letting AWS save me time and configuration, but being prepared to run those pieces outside of AWS (which I'm already doing when I develop locally)

> That seems to come with the implication that if you're using managed services ... you're not a "real developer".

Let's bring it back to the original point: "cloud" as a desired skill employers are hiring for. Obviously that's so ambiguous it's ridiculous, and maybe it should be split into "managed cloud services" and "infrastructure as a service". But as long as there are employers out there seeking "cloud" as a singular term, I think it's disingenuous to answer that call if you can only work with the managed pieces.

Friggin' RHEL I guess I'll have to check back in a couple of years.
I don't understand... isn't that something that the company decides? How are users stealing something?

For the longest time companies have been able to market something as 'free' when they have been the ones who have been trying to hide the fact that users' data was being sold, etc. So I would argue that if someone is 'stealing', it is actually the companies themselves.
>offer a low-income plan

This one is odd to me. BMW doesn't have to offer low income cars. AFAIK Uber doesnt have to cut fares for low-income folks. Walking and the bus/train is the low income plan.
honestly, i think the best choice would be to 'accept', and use the google services, or deny -- and just not get any google apps installed.

this would give privacy oriented people the option to simply opt out of anything google and still uphold the pretty good stock experience.

but this is imo still not google's task. OEMs choose to just flash google's services and apps by default right into their OS. that should only be done after the user said 'yes, i want to tell google everything i do'
And this is literally what GDPR was created for. Hoping you've blocked access to the EU so I don't happen across it :)
Apple's GPU is designed just down the road from Imaginations HQ. Guess where the designers previously worked...
IMO, it's because understanding someone else's code and introducing your own changes is something that requires a considerable amount of experience and knowledge which many new developers have not acquired yet. Instead of trying to take the time to understand how to integrate the changes they're trying to make with an existing project, they create something new practically centered around this new feature and a lot of stuff gets lost along the way.

At the end of the day, it's fine though. It'll either satisfy the needs of people and become a new standard or it will be satisfy edge cases and become the new thing that needs to be deprecated because no-one contributes to the project and the original maintainer has lost interest.
Full speed ahead - US Department of Energy recommits to the exascale race
Well, "HQ based law" not the case and it's a much larger discussion that doesn't have anything to do with the GDPR or EU.

The USA too is going after foreign companies doing business with Iran or Cuba. The USA is not happy with cryptocurrency ICO's and it's enforcing it. The USA is forcing the world to respect DMCA.

The taxes are also an issue, even within the USA doe to different VAT in different states.

These are topics that have been in discussion since the beginning of the internet and the dust is just settling and the solution is not simple as "You obey to the laws according to the country you're based in". It's a huge huge topic.

Edit: And FYI, many countries do enforce a tax on foreign purchases. For example, Turkey will be forcing American internet giants to charge VAT to its Turkish clients and transfer that VAT to the Turkish government. Countries want to collect taxes, you can't really get away with "I am an American company so I operate tax-free" argument. Politicians will work out an arrangement like "I will make your tax law enforceable on my companies if you let me use your military base and purchase weapons".
HFCS is generally in the range of 50% to 90% fructose. In other words, it's typically worse than sucrose for you.

Fructose does not provoke a satiety response in the human gastroenteric system, unlike glucose.

So if you do eat candy, prefer sucrose to HFCS and glucose to sucrose. Sucrose will be listed on packaging as "sugar".
just specify a different --line-length argument? Easily solved.

Which a commercial requires 150 total hours. And that is the bare minimum. You're still considered a baby pilot in the industry with that few amount of hours.

And is less than most hourly rates for a plane. That's without an instructor too.

That would be the self same reason the net is starting to attract regulation. Some of that significant disruption basically involves extending a middle finger to the laws and regulations of the country they want to do business in. I might call it taking the piss.

Taking the piss with laws and employment rights such as Deliveroo etc, or taking the piss with user data and personal privacy.

We'll be left with some of the regulation long after many of the disruptors that caused it have burnt out.

Yes, and this is the decision that Facebook and Google have made.

They will only operate for users that have given their consent, and have chosen not to do business with those who do not.

Isn't this what you want? They are fully complying with the law and only doing business with people who have consented.
It's also to prevent fraud by the cashier. Any transaction without a paper trail showing proof of purchase makes it easy for staff to simply pocket the cash.

There is no conspiracy here.

If you don't do business with the EU, the EU has nothing on you. They have no other mechanism for enforcing compliance.

If you would disrespect the king of Thailand, and you would go to Thailand, they might act on their laws and lock you up.

If you would break Eu privacy laws, and you would try and do business with the EU, they might act on their laws and enforce their fines.

There is no precedent being set here. Even the US is more than willing to freeze assets of foreign actors when they believe they have been wronged abroad.

If you ignore the EU and the GDPR completely, nothing can touch you, you just can't do business with them until you stop ignoring them
I think anti social media PSAs are as reasonable as any other PSAs. It's ok to encourage people to go outside instead of play video games or encourage people to not talk on the phone while driving. The video game and phone industries are big too. It's ok to give grants to projects that already have other players in the industry. It's ok to suggest people use ad block. There's no need to be so defeatist assuming nothing will work. We can't even really discuss these types of solutions if everything but law is assumed to not work for internet privacy issues when law is the only one that has been shown not to work. Absolutist phrases like "unrestricted commerce" (as though that exists) "regulation [...] only viable way left" are the reason nobody can see alternatives. It's like self-imposed blinders.

I would suggest that you switch jobs or move to more interesting project at your current job. Starting a business sounds very attractive but it is totally different from a programming job. I personally enjoy programming and would hate to deal with customers/marketing/sales/VCs/employees. Starting a business is just too many variables and never ending cycle of worry.

> My biggest take-away though is that fasting has helped me practice self-denial to the point where I can handle my sweet tooth very easily now. The difference in apparent willpower is so immense that I can hardly believe it myself.

I also found this to be the case; once you have done it once or twice, subsequent times become easier. To anybody who has tried and given up early: it gets (much) easier.

I have given up all caffeine for Lent twice (three years ago and this last year) and while the first time was misery, the second time was dead easy.

Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting both give me really good short-term motivation to not snack, too: my most susceptible snacking hours are between dinner and bedtime, but I know that if I'm on a ketogenic diet that eating carbs will erase the "free" 7-8 hours of my body converting lipids to ketones (while I sleep). Similarly if I'm fasting but s/carbs/anything with calories/.
This seems to be the problematic script https://phys.org/push-sw.js probably an infinite loop in the event loop but I don't know javascript.
I'm doing keto too, not for weight loss (heck I could use some weight gain), but to reap some benefits of more stable energy, avoiding carb crashes. I bought some test strips and MCT powder, it took a week to finally reach deep ketosis (according to my test strips). I'm unexpectedly hungry a lot, but I found that coconut milk + MCT oil is very filling.
Not sure. It's wild to me how many companies were sending me emails about GDPR, as if they didn't already know I lived in the US.

If you're tracking me, might as well actually use the data.

I recall "minimalism" in documentation being a theme during the 1990s, which I believe was influential in the design of documentation for Windows 95. I'd be interested in hearing more if anyone here knows about this.

The origin text for this I believe was "The Nurnberg Funnel" by John M Carroll (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/nurnberg-funnel) -- but I haven't read it. I have read a book of essays following up on it, "Minimalism Beyond the Nurnberg Funnel" https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/minimalism-beyond-nurnberg-fu..., which I found quite inspiring.

Both of the examples used here are older than that, which is also intriguing.
The idea of teaching using extensional definitions (an expanding list of examples) is fine, but I came across a weird case of it at a bicycle repair workshop a few years ago.

It's a bizarre example, but it went like this.

Audience: what's a fixed gear bike?

Repair guy: it's uh, it's like a unicycle, for example...

In that scenario an intensional definition is really the way to go. I don't understand how that bicycle repair guys mind worked at all.

Windows will download the file to a temporary location (while blocking the UI thread for this!) and then pass the path of that temporary file to the application. It works but is far from perfect - I won’t be surprised if it drops support for that little trick in a near release of Windows. I still want to know why Windows supports this yet still doesn’t ship with a native command-like equivalent to curl or wget (PowerShell doesn’t count)

You definitely don't have to know as much about weather for a drone pilot. You aren't flying that far. Sure it doesn't take much distance for weather to become important, but you learn it in a PPL because you have to do cross countries. And if you don't do your weather planning for one of those you can get yourself killed.
M.2 slots come with different keys for different purposes. key B is used for WWAN and mostly SATA SSDs (although some slower NVMe drives ship with key B+M , the plus sign means it works in both slots). key M is used for x4 NVMe SSDs.

I remember listening to WFMU's station manager recount one of the times he had to fire a (volunteer) DJ: the DJ was selling ad time on his show. He got away with it for a while because his show was not in English.

It seems that ads were also a motivation for the long-running show JM in the AM to leave the station.

> WFMU, licensed as a non-profit radio station, adheres to the guidelines of charitable and non-commercial radio. With the move of ‘JM in the AM’ exclusively to NSN, the program, its host, its content and its reach will be allowed greater creative flexibility and sponsorship opportunities. [1]

If you only gauge yourself on point estimates on something, then constantly being wrong doesn't help you build the skill. (Where point estimate is boiling it down to a single number.)

Instead, try estimating several factors of it. Some as seemingly worthless as lines of code, new dependencies, old dependencies touched, use cases, etc. Odds are high that you can actually start estimating one of those with a bit better accuracy. Odds are also good that the one you can estimate well, happens to correlate well with time/cost.

So, find what you can estimate, and then calculate a rough translation of that to what you are being asked.

That make sense?
It wasn't privacy invasions that made the ads better, it was Google making the process easier. Instead of dealing with shady smaller networks, or individual sites (which only businesses that extracted high value from online presence could afford, e.g. gambling,) any business could then easily and safely publish their ads widely. That is not going away, and advertising in the EU will still exist.

The White Terror of Taiwan[0] article on wikipedia goes into greater detail for the curious.

Consider the context: in 1985 in Texas:

"Until" "2003" "certain sexual acts between persons of the same sex were a criminal offense in Texas, termed "deviate sexual intercourse",[1] The offense was a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.[2]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Texas

Moreover:

"Prior to 1962, sodomy was a felony in every [U.S.] state, punished by a lengthy term of imprisonment and/or hard labor."
This is what worries me the most about my home region. The surface water is turning to be unreliable, the groundwater is being siphoned out at an alarming rate, yet we still continue to add more and more pressure to the system.

Not just farming and agriculture, either. People are moving to Phoenix and Santa Fe and Dallas and Houston at amazing rates, but the water systems can't keep up. In the Dallas suburbs, one public water system owns exactly one lake and has partial rights to three others but all of those lakes drop to alarming levels almost every summer. Yet, the cities inside that water district keep adding more and more houses and commercial buildings and water connections because nobody wants to say "we might not have enough water for those who are already here." I don't even know if a city government could say that.

But here we are. More people moving into dry areas expecting to be able to drink, wash, and clean, but with less water every day with which to do it.
I can only speak to items I'm familiar with. Cafe Du monde for example sells for $9.99 at Whole Foods. It's $4.99 at your local Asian grocery store, $3.99 on sale.

That's the #1 complaint I have (and hear) about Black. Everything else, I can live with. And honestly, I can live with using double quotes everywhere, especially when I can type single quotes and then let it re-write them. It's just that they currently look really, really odd to me because that's not how Python is traditionally written.

Not wanting to use non-GDPR compliant services is completely fair. I think it should be the user's choice.

I think assuming the EU won't care about tiny startups is irrelevant - I want to follow the letter of the law, it's why I'd opt to block EU users instead of just ignoring the existence of the law.
"You won't believe where these high vacuum particles go when they move, or how they get there!"
Well then these EU users are illegally accessing a computer and have broken the computer fraud and abuse act.

These users should be prosecuted to the fullest extent in the US for their illegal computer usage.
> For example, consciousness. You might argue that consciousness emerges from matter interacting in a complex way (emergentism)

Define consciousness. It's hard, because the word is a suitcase of meanings.

On the other hand, define an agent. It's much easier. An agent has to have three things - sensing, ability to act and ability to learn from sparse rewards. It is embodied in an environment, learns from the environment and depends on the environment for its "complexity".

Many problems go away when you learn how to represent the question in a better way.
a lot of people pick their phone based on how it looks

I guess I really just don't care. If people are buying products based on style, then anyone should be able to produce a product with that style, and you can't argue that people aren't getting what they want. "Style" should not be patentable, or we're entering a dystopia where you have to figure out who to pay royalties to when you decide what color tshirt to wear.

bought a Samsung phone instead of an Apple phone because they thought both phones basically did the same thing is also unconvincing. Salespeople say this kind of shit all the time no matter what the product looks like. "Our version is better!" - it's practically their job. Except in egregious cases of salesperson misbehavior (ie fraud), the customer isn't confused about the origin of the product. Uninformed customers will make uninformed decisions, caveat emptor.
