The main protection is that it's really hard to get people to pay you money if you don't have evidence of substance. It's harder to make paybait than clickbait.

That said, it is definitely an issue we will have to navigate carefully.
Please write it anyway. It's important history. Just be straightforward about how you came by this information.

Heck, I'd like to read it as well!

I know some things about the air war in WW2 told to me by my father (B17 navigator) that I've never seen in any history. I write about them once in a while on the internet.

For example, the air crews would squat on their flak jackets instead of wearing them, for the simple reason that the trajectory of the flak shrapnel was mostly upwards.

The history is important. Silicon Valley has a history of creating undeniably valuable innovations and legitimate companies dating back 60+ years: HP, Shockley, SRI, Fairchild, Intel, Cisco, Apple, etc. This is the backdrop for Silicon Valley.

In contrast, Utah Valley has a history of MLMs. This is the backdrop for Silicon Slopes.
9-5 core hours is bullshit. The whole point of core hours is to be a window of time where you can guarantee a meeting can be scheduled with people across time zones. This doesn't mean you have 8 hours of core hours. That's literally insane.

It always felt like they had good hardware with horrible software. Reinstalling drivers, downgrading or upgrading the OS, debugging issues, anything that crosses what Toshiba was responsible for was a nightmare when I had one, and never heard good things in that area since.

Granted most Japanese makers are horrible on the software side, but Toshiba felt specially handicaped in my opinion.
Yes, as I understand it, that is correct. When you are in a country that is a member of the EU, your data held by companies is subject to the GDPR.

Is this because they don't allow you to consent to tracking and view the content, or just because you refuse to consent to tracking?
Yes. ECS is better integrated into AWS.

EKS is just what everyone uses plugged into AWS.

Can't understand how this should be better.
Do you think that the more left-accelerationist factions have any meaningful influence compared to more reformist organizations like the DSA? Is it different outside the states?
I agree - one thing that's pretty annoying about Gitlab (self-host at work) IMO is that over the past year, things just keep moving around in the UI or work differently as we upgrade versions.

Personally, I'd prefer to use Github at work as I find it a fair bit easier to use and navigate, but Gitlab is much cheaper, so...
I second this. This means you don't have to setup and manage those master nodes. AWS will do this for you. A developer fixing an issue with your self-managed master nodes will be much more expensive than 150$/month.

As an individual this may look expensive, but as a company this is much cheaper than paying the loan of a developer.
He should be distributing these in Ubers/Lyfts for late night on their way home riders. $10/bottle people would eat it up.
They're a $500bn company. I think that can afford an extra foot of door.

The protocol supports it yes, but I think you'd have a hard time finding a single person who has ever inadvertently connected their TV to the internet through HDMI. Hell I think you'd have a hard time finding a TV that even supports this functionality, and if you do my bet is it's a specialty thing made for the hospitality/service industry.

Do you know that those Indian people had actually paid for WhatsApp? I never had to pay, and most people I know (UK) don't seem to have done either. I don't know what the criteria was but it'd be pretty weird if they were charging people more aggressively in India than the UK. Maybe the whole not charging thing was a bug, it's always seemed weird.
But the irony that the website lacks the simple tools to comply with GDPR at least made this British person chuckle and like many articles, it is the fine comments that detail the salient points - I'm now off to search the web about scientific glass blowing and ponder ways to automate it.

Yes! GitLab gets a hundred little things wrong in the web interface. It really seems like they're trying to win on features when user-friendliness should be their #1 priority especially if they want to take GitHub's crown of "code hosting for everyone".

This is a screenshot of their issue page taken straight from their website: https://about.gitlab.com/images/feature_page/screenshots/41-...

It's just cluttered. All the controls you need are there, but it's not focused or simple. My eyes don't know where to focus.

Looking at the github demo (https://github.com/google/capillary), it seems to me that it they may have decided to use RSA and ECDSA due to limitations of the Android Keystore. I'm no Android developer, though, so I may be misinterpreting something.

An excerpt from part 5, "The Secrets of Feynman Diagrams":

The overall interaction described by a set of Feynman diagrams is defined by the particles going in and the particles going out. These are the particles that we actually measure. We know their properties - for example, their energy and momentum. And they obey Einstein's mass-energy equation. We say that these particles are on the mass shell, or just on shell. They sit on the shell structure you get when you plot Einstein's equation of energy, momentum, and mass. On the other hand, everything that happens between the ingoing and outgoing tracks has questionable reality.

Each possible diagram that results in the same ingoing and outgoing particles is a valid part of the possibility space for that interaction. The particles that have their entire existence between vertices within the diagram but don't enter or leave are called virtual particles. Their correspondence to anything resembling real particles is debatable. They are also, by definition, unmeasurable. Otherwise, they'd be one of our ingoing or going particles. These particles do not obey mass-energy equivalence. So they are off shell. These particles aren't even limited by the speed of light or the direction of time, which leads to all sorts of fun.

GDPR is 90% process companies should be following anyway (industry best-practices) and 10% processes that should be trivial to implement (retrieving / deleting user data).

Calling it a cancer suggest you've not actually had to comply with it, you're just parroting all the people who are blowing it out of proportion because they don't understand the law or just don't think privacy is as important as ad revenue.
You're right, it's not FOSS. It's open source in the broader context of being able to work on software entirely in the open and still get compensated for it by the commercial entities that use it.

Giving away your work for one and all to come and take is, ultimately, unsustainable. All of your suggestions ultimately boil down to altruism by commercial entities, and that's also not sustainable. Companies care about legal compliance but don't want to contract with a million little entities to comply. That's why FOSS is so popular for companies and so terrible for maintainers. Companies get to build their business on this great software and completely ignore the externalities that it takes to get there.

If there were one central organization (or heck, a handful) where companies could register and pay for one license that entitles them to use any software licensed by that organization I think we would be far better off as a community.
Buses are not big respecters of stock price, and what goes up can come down. Microsoft's numbers could get squishy for a number of reasons unrelated to open source efforts, and a revenue dip could either mean a new CEO or some quick cuts to things that aren't producing a lot of short-term profit.

Hey, this is interesting. Would you care to explain?
This I my impression as well. It’s the thinnest possible layer of service integration with what basically amounts to demo templates for everything else. This is NOT a managed service. Nothing close. I expected something much more self contained. Anyone looking to run K8s at scale on AWS May as well just do it themselves. This doesn’t buy you anything except locking into what versions AWS can manage to support.
Oh, nice. (This didn’t exist back when my team was on Bitbucket, sorry for the outdated info.)
I was on mobile and on my way to bed :P. Lots of page refresh related problems, and likes to exhaust memory from time to time are the two standouts.
I'm not sure you'll have a lot of luck finding that in a job as much as pursuing personal projects.

That's where I let my creative and experimental ideas run free. Who knows, maybe one will become popular. Remember, it's quantity over quality with this kind of thing.

As for things you've been taught in college, and this is just my opinion: if you're being taught it in college, odds are there's about a thousand wrappers or frameworks to do the same thing without the need to about it. I doubt there's any demand for things popular enough to make their way into your curriculum. I'd say a lot of college is fluff and a waste of your attention.
Agreed. When I run teams the core hours are typically 10 AM - 2 PM or some band of 4 hours around a key time.
Not going to get sucked into this. If you have to ask, it implies you already believe that all of the dozens of articles published daily have total merit, in which case nothing I'm going to say will convince you because your position is pretty well set in concrete.

Anatomy of a Python Compiler
I disagree. For the use case of single thread concurrency, async/await is easier to reason about, since you don't have the added abstraction of a separate execution thread (that isn't even actually a different thread). With coroutines comes the added work of deciding when to "fork", and the added work of stringing everything together with channels and mutuxes.

I myself learned to program on node.js 6 years ago, when everything required piles of callbacks (the least ergonomic form of async/await style concurrency). It's strange to see a bunch of experienced programmers saying that nobody could possibly use this style, as it is too hard, while millions of beginning programmers master it easily. In fact I remember that the people who usually had a problem with callbacks were those who had prior experience with synchronous languages.

Async/await reveals the beauty of this pattern of async, by getting rid of the syntactical cruft of promises and callbacks. It's already awesome in C# and JS, and will be landing in Rust this year.

IMO using "thread" patterns should only be done when you actually have something to gain, with real multi core parallelism. The big advantage of coroutines is that they scale seamlessly across cores. By putting the bad ergonomics of threads everywhere, you make your code ready to scale onto actual threads.
I must thank everyone who replied with wonderful references. I had no idea I'd get such great responses! I look forward to many pleasant sessions perusing this material.
Sorry. I'd had two over enthusiastic fans knocking my non-fandom the day I wrote that.
You actually seem to be misunderstanding since GDPR is not about having people sue. They can only report companies and regulators take it from there, if they want to. Also 4% of revenue has nothing to do with enforcement and reach of the EU agencies against US companies.
A way of catastrophically shooting oneself in the foot.
A good manager is absolutely a good leader, and v/v. In my experience, there is no role that, if done properly, isn't equal measure both. They are sub-set skills of any position to which people report. Be it middle manager (important to execute, important to give meaning and direction within that area) or C-level (CEO can't afford to be a non-manager).
I don't read your parent as saying that async/await is bad compared to futures, but that futures code right now is tough to write. This is why so many people are psyched about async/await in Rust!

One area in which async/await significantly improves over manual futures is borrows between individual futures in the chain. In languages with a GC, this isn't an issue, but it comes up in Rust a bunch.

See this for a great explanation: http://aturon.github.io/2018/04/24/async-borrowing/

You're describing network-centric warfare [1], which was formalized in US military theory in 1996 (22 years ago) and has guided US military doctrine since.

How Python Was Shaped by Leaky Internals – Armin Ronacher
My first computer was a 2005 iBook. I used to be a huge apple fan but after a bad experience with a 2012 rMBP I started looking at other options.

I bought a Dell precision laptop at the end of 2016 and installed ubuntu. This wasn't the first Linux machine for me but it was the first I really worked at.

At around the same time I set myself the goal of reducing any and all dependencies on gui apps other than a browser. I quit dayone, various database guis, etc in this period. This was key, I also got better at many cli tools in the process.

I spent a considerable amount of time building a dotfile config that was cross platform / worked with my work mac and other apple computers. This was really painful, it was never 100% consistent but it did all me to prove to myself that it was possible to productively use Linux - something I'd always been skeptical of before, for whatever reason.

I then took on a massive downsizing effort and sold all of my computers, this was also a lot of work. Disassembling custom PC's and selling laptops on eBay took longer than expected.

I was then left with only my work computer. Down from 6 laptops/desktops. My work laptop was a max spec first gen touchbar 13" at the time.

I then got a new job, when asking for my new laptop I bit the bullet and asked for the new Dell XPS 13.

So far I'm getting on fine, native containers is the biggest benefit I've seen personally. I miss photoshop a bit as I haven't invested the effort to run it properly on Linux via wine etc.
I enjoy in-depth articles and so do many others. Keep'em up.

If it's that unclear then I'll rephrase it: If you make a gamble that requires someone's help to pull off, and the gamble is successful, you should share a reasonable amount of your success with the people whom made your success possible. I don't think these founders are sharing a reasonable amount with their employees, and I also think it's sad that this is not only accepted, it appears to be encouraged.

Also employee owned cooperatives are cool, and I wish there were more of them.
> "Small cultural disagreements between the two staffs also popped up, involving issues such as noise around the office and the size of WhatsApp’s desks and bathrooms, that took on greater significance as the split between the parent company and its acquisition persisted."

^^ coupled with a photo of outrageously poor open-plan office space.

This is just insane. Like, executives should be ashamed of themselves if they think developing a company culture means micromanagement of desk space and bathroom size.

I have to agree with Joel Spolsky that, when you think of things like this, it makes you start to realize that Facebook has to offer outsized salaries and RSU grants to its employees, because the culture and workspace is so poor and surveillance / micro-management oriented that in order to let yourself be embedded into a hellish workplace like that, you would require greater-than-market salary.

And frankly, the salaries aren't high enough to offset this, compared with other companies that don't turn your work life into a micromanagement panopticon, yet still pay well.
AWS is 10x larger than GCP so power and compute capacity are really not the issue here, especially for a product that just launched. There's also no reason AWS couldn't adopt the same lightweight kubernetes master processes that GKE uses after all this time.
