> No, the primary difference is that we deploy drones in areas we are not engaged in warfare, and to assassinate various individuals in foreign countries where we are not at war.

The US hasn't been officialy "at war" in a long time. I think the last one was World War II.

> We do not deploy F-35s to assassinate people in Pakistan.

Of course not: F-35s are more expensive to operate and I'm not sure they've even attained the level of readiness to attempt such a mission.
They are not saying that the app store should go away, they are saying that the apps should be added to the app store like the other utilities that the blog post mentions.
Oh that is awesome I stand corrected, thanks.

At USC's engineering computer laboratory (at one time in the late 70's / early 80's running 7 different 10's) the install history was TENEX (given the association with BBN I expect that was why that machine was on the ARPAnet) then came TOPS-10 for some of the undergraduate accessible machines and then the TENEX machines got TOPS-20 as an upgrade.

Clearly the lore as passed along to me when I was an systems programmer in one of the sister labs was incorrect. Now I have to figure out how to erase these cuniform tablets! :-)

.local implies multi-cast DNS, you can't get a signed certificate for .local from any major certificate vendor either.

MongoDB | Consulting Engineer | Seattle / Remote Western US w/ travel | mongodb.com

MongoDB is looking for a consulting engineer for the west coast Professional Services team.

I'm looking for someone well-rounded with some development experience, familiarity with databases, and solid skills in Linux. MongoDB experience is helpful, but not necessary.

It's an opportunity to be part of an amazing and very talented team, to get to work with a wider variety of companies than you'll likely see anywhere else, and to explore a variety of technologies.

I am specifically hiring for the US West Coast, but positions are open elsewhere in the US and in Europe / EMEA.

"Money laundering" is a bullshit, victimless crime. Deposit your cash in the wrong account: money laundering. Run a business that the banking cartel doesn't approve of (i.e. porn, gambling, weed) and you're practically forced into so called money laundering. It's just one of the many ways the rich keep getting richer while others are locked out of legit banking.
Just as bad I'd download CPAN module A then CPAN module B and CPAN would totally trash A.
It might be something structural that is general to all such situations; maybe when there is a very large number of 'ordinary legislators' there is a high probability of them becoming, over time, de facto powerless compared to party leadership.
Not just Youtube but this is all very applicable to Twitch livestreamers too. I noticed it on myself, it's a strange thing.

I started doing amateur game streams on Twitch (nothing serious, got a few regular viewers) but even tho I try to make an effort to just relax/chill and take it easy, I can't help but feel a bit stressed trying to be at my most entertaining version throughout the whole stream. Combined with having a regular schedule (even if it's just 2 hours of stream twice a week) it quickly builds up a certain stress that can only be described as stress similar to having a job. I end up hating the thought of "oh no, tomorrow I have a stream again" when I should be excited for it, I mean it's a hobby, it's supposed to make me feel good. But strange enough I spend 10 times more time at work and I rarely get this stressed.

It's hard to explain. I don't know exactly why this type of activity can become stressful so quickly. Maybe because it's much more related to how I feel in general. If I have a few bad days it's not going to affect much how I code at work (maybe reduce overall productivity/speed but code quality should be in the same ballpark). But if I feel bad I simply cannot be as entertaining as I can when I feel good and that stresses me out and I make an effort to still be entertaining, on schedule. Maybe that's what it is :)
I was thinking of this when I saw an article earlier today about teens moving to youtube over Facebook. You can learn a lot of things on youtube but one thing you can't learn is how not to make a youtube video about it. For example, you can learn how to build a PC on youtube, but you can't learn how to build a PC without posting a build video on youtube, on youtube.
Whoops didn't see a second page! Thanks.

Bribery, gay porn, and copyright trolls: rise and fall of lawyer Marc Randazza
I’m pretty sure they’ve been profitable since the first month of private repos.
It's getting depressing to see that mid tier companies are all now reliably getting swallowed up by larger ones. It is starting to feel like the golden age of technology - where brand new small companies emerge and become giant ones - is waning. Were Google, Amazon and Facebook actually the last of the tech giants to emerge and from now on, it's just a procession of watching every other company merge into the existing 5 or 6 big companies? I guess it is inevitable but it still makes me sad if we are transitioning to a more mature, but fundamentally more boring phase.
If they could allow non-iCloud authenticated users to update and install free apps, that's be great.
So your comments appear to be more about medium as a content farm, and less so about the ideas within the article itself.

That's really only doable in a couple cities in the US, though. Not having a car in Los Angeles, for instance, is extremely impractical.
If we reduce everything to being ahead of a potential enemy, then we soon get to a point where the solution of all problems is a single deadly upfront attack.

Those technologies aren't for defense; every nation in the world throws loads of money to military expenses -including those countries who have zero chances of being ahead of any other- for a single reason: war is a very profitable business. Everything else is propaganda.
Yes, I’m sure as well. But the “global” nature of the company still exposes even those who have SCI (or higher) clearance to risk.
The point is these aren't even military operations, I am fairly confident it'd be literally illegal for the Air Force to assassinate people in the manner we've been using our drone program.
Plus they pair well with a nice chianti.

It's not two different types of fuel and all rockets do this. It's an oxidizer and a fuel. For instance a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. React the two and you get energy in the process... and water. So for instance most of the space shuttle's main engine exhaust was water vapor! Quite counter intuitive.
7 years and $1 million saved so far.

I'm sure I'm doomed any day now.

How about the option to remove the dock entirely? Spotlight and Launchpad are preferable alternatives for opening apps, Mission Control works way better for switching between apps, and the list of running apps can be stuffed into the top menu with a pulldown list that can display diagnostic info and give a nice way to switch-to or force quit.

I hide the dock and keep it off to the side, as I find it more annoying than useful.
> PG&E, who -- despite not making the electricity -- has responsibility to charge the consumer. Of course, PG&E charges a 'convenience and distribution' fee

I understand your frustration that the amount of the fee cancels out the cheaper cost of renewables in your case, but providing local distribution has a cost (maintenance of poles, wires, etc) over and above the actual energy generation cost, so there will always be a fee for this, unless you figure out a way to get the renewables to your house without the local distributor (and assuming that you don't put solar/batteries on your house).

Also, there is a cost (for storage, load dispatching, frequency regulation, etc) to turning the variability of renewables into the steady stream of available power that consumers expect.

Again, it's possible even including the cost of all of these necessary services, the renewables should still be cheaper than the non-renewables, but it's never going to be zero.
Microsoft should actually buy Slack.
GitHub do for developers what Microsoft want to do for the rest of business through SharePoint.

Maybe they could add Office 365 editing to GitHub and pitch it as the successor to SharePoint. Or try to integrate it with their other products in some kind of Frankenstein mess.
I was in DevDiv at the time of the launch of VS Code (but on a different team): The pressure was on to ship a cross-platform editor ASAP to support the new cross-platform .NET infrastructure. This was very much an "IBM PC"-project with the Directors tasking a small team to get something done and to disregard the NIH culture. Atom was chosen as the platform because it was already close to what they needed with the right license. Heck, the rush to ship was so intense that they screwed up the name (I forget the story exactly, but "VS Code" was not the name the MSFT naming department came up with, but the name they initially chose turned out to be used elsewhere and they didn't have the time to come up with something trademarkable so they just sighed and shipped as "Visual Studio Code").

Anyway - I think the VS Code experience helped with Microsoft's institutional "fear" of pushing ahead with a JavaScript ecosystem elsewhere - I think the knock-on effects contributed towards the Office org's recent announcement to add JS as a first-class macro language in Excel, I just wish it was TypeScript instead.
Some of us don't have short term memories and lived through the peak-evil-microsoft years.
It might help to search on terms that are actually in your emails. This never fails for me.
You can get very usable machines quite for cheap in the used market, and basically use a dedicated machine for a task, without compromising on the workflow or going against the grain. Like having a Thinkpad just for Vim or CLI stuff, a Mac for A/V and graphic design, and a Windows machine for everything 3d.

Owning and using three laptops sounds crazy, especially if you travel a lot, but you could still launch Chrome on a Thinkpad and do most of the stuff that falls outside of your main task, you could get away with just carrying one for a trip!

Why wait for the holy grail if you could just treat your laptops as dedicated hardware appliances optimized for each task?
They can also take market because they likely have better tax arrangements, so running their experiments would be much cheaper than for independent start-up.
There have been many books and articles on this over the years. Re-searching just now I found this one:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/07/how-ame...

e.g. "The Framers worried about demagogic excess and populist caprice, so they created buffers and gatekeepers between voters and the government. Only one chamber, the House of Representatives, would be directly elected. A radical who wanted to get into the Senate would need to get past the state legislature, which selected senators; a usurper who wanted to seize the presidency would need to get past the Electoral College, a convocation of elders who chose the president; and so on."

If I can track down any of the book titles I'll follow up.
Not that it's the /correct/ solution, but Keybase does a good job of providing that shared-directory experience, and the free tier is pretty roomy.

To avoid stupid software breakage you should never use .local for anything. Choose any other TLD for internal use, doesn't matter what it is, as long as it isn't a real TLD that exists in the new gTLD and ccTLD system.

On a large scale for all internal stuff you are going to have your own, internal root and intermediate CA. The root CA signs the intermediate CA, the intermediate CA then signs SSL/TLS certificates for your internal infrastructure things.

As an example for a mid sized ISP with such a setup, the internal ticket portal for the NOC is accessible only while physically in the office or when on the VPN, speaks TLS1.2 only to standard web browser clients, and its URL is https://portal.tickets.burrito

where the "burrito" is obviously not the real name, I've changed it for this example, but the choice of TLD in your own internal DNS infrastructure is totally arbitrary.

Then the individual clients all have the public certs for the internal corporate root and intermediate CA installed in them, so that they trust certificates signed by the internal CA.

If you're big enough to care about having a serious multi-state-scale intranet, you probably don't want to be reliant upon external CAs to sign your stuff. Having your own internal CAs lets you do a lot of other things as well, without additional cost, such as sign per-client-device certificates as well.
>This is all I ever wanted. And why the fuck am I so unfucking unhappy? It - It doesn’t make any sense. You know what I mean? Because, like, this is literally my fucking dream. And I’m fucking so unfucking happy. It doesn’t make any fucking sense. It’s so stupid. It is so stupid.

I think that most people who judge themselves by their accomplishments will run into this at some point. You'll get there, only to find out that there is no 'there' there.

Philanthropy seems like it might help. It can feel fundamentally impossible to be happy or content, when you mix a demanding always-on schedule with the very human desire to always be looking for more. But we also live in a world where many people never even have the opportunity to pursue happiness, and what about their hopes and dreams?

It is vicariously rewarding to see someone else learn how to do something and get excited by their newfound talent. And every hour of your time that you donate is an hour that you don't have to spend under the pressures of your audience or your thoughts.
Tencent to name one.
Plus I'm sure under Microsoft they will have some sort of free private repos like GitLab, Bitbucket and Visual Studio Team Services already do.

Lack of free private repos is the main (only) reason why I don't use GitHub.
I feel like this pairing lacks a protein to really balance it out.
Well, two things:

1. I assume you're probably only using 60 or maybe 70mi, tops, of that range -- so you're talking minimum charging 3-4x as often as you'd be filling up with a gas car. (yes, I recognize that you probably change at home most of the time; of course, the shorter the range the more likely it is that you'll need to charge 'on the road' rather than at home)

2. What do you mean by DC fast-charge? In researching ChargePoint (I just became a member), it looks like most stations are 220v and something like 20a; even the ones that have higher current feeds are typically split in half if 2 cars are using it. I agree, 20 minutes to charge is hardly an unreasonable amount of time, considering how rarely one should have to charge away from home. But on a roadtrip, again, 20mins every hour starts adding up really fast.

Generally, though, I think people should spend less time worrying about day-to-day charging time (as opposed to roadtrip charging time), because they ignore fuelling time of gas cars. Let's say you spend 5 minutes a week filling up your gas car. That's 4 1/3 hours per year filling up (assuming we ignore any special trips made to the gas station. Thankfully we live across the street from one, but it's still not unusual to hop in the car after dinner and spend 10min driving to get gas to prepare for a trip the next day just to have one less thing to do in the morning, for example). Vs with an electric car where your charging time is effectively 0 if you plug it in at home every night or once a week or whatever. Then, of course, on a roadtrip, the times are flipped; do a thousand miles and you might only spend 15-20mins fuelling a gas car but maybe 2h charging an electric (depending on charge rate, again.. this is more supercharger speed we're talking about).

My father (long since retired) actually loves the charging breaks with his Model S on roadtrips; 1-2x 45min stops along the way from San Diego to Phoenix, or San Diego to SF, for example. He likes relaxing, stretching, chatting with other owners, .. feels in less of a hurry to race to his destination, etc. I'm sure a lot of this is down to the novelty factor and justifying one's purchase, but I also get it-- it's just a different way of thinking.
For me it was Irkut
It might happen, but I suspect they will continue to play nice with other tech stacks. Their recent strategy is to provide good tech that can integrate with other tech, to compete on superior products instead of locking in users. They haven't recently extended or extinguished, just embraced, and embracing has done great things for their stock price.
Well, you know, this wasn't just an "insane" guy at the top who now left the company and everything's cool. Companies have culture, and while we can agree today Microsoft's not the same Microsoft from 10 years ago, we shouldn't forget their history so soon.

I agree. Youtube included. I frequently find myself using Google to search for a Youtube video. It is usually better than searching Youtube itself.

Yes you are right; I meant to say the Center for Effective Altruism.
• Thinner means lighter—i.e. more luggable, which you'd think would be an important consideration for a workhorse.

• Apple's ecosystem (at least for business leasing) is sort of like the luxury car ecosystem: there are rather few models, and they're not very customized, but there's a dealership close enough to you that if there's any problem—any problem at all—with your [under-warranty] device, the idiomatic "solution" is to give you a loaner (the exact same model, with your data copied over) while they attempt to repair yours; and then either you get it back fixed, or you keep the loaner. Like luxury cars, this enables them to use nice-but-brittle components, under the expectation that nobody will actually have to put up with the component being broken, instead just being fed a steady supply of working devices. (Anecdata: my MacBook's keyboard has failed five times. Do you know what that means? It means that I've received a same-day replacement MacBook five times!)

• I think you're confusing "professional" with "ruggedized." Apple has never made, or claimed to make, ruggedized hardware. (The iPhone is waterproof, I guess?) Apple has no product category aimed at e.g. the ThinkPad's "techs performing maintenance on cell towers in deserts/jungles/swamps" use-case. Apple makes its desktop products like most companies make servers, or scientific equipment: intended for climate-controlled, central-air-purified conditions, to be operated by techno-priests who take the proper ritual-purity precautions before touching them. The Macs really are workstations, in the sense that they are intended to do their work from a designated station. ;)
Yup. As a contractor, I maintained a home grown pre-WAMP (spec) implementation. Think http://autobahn.ws.

I totally didn't get the point. We controlled both the clients and server, so our pre-WAMP was just SOAP style overhead. Meaning useless and confusing.

But the gig paid well and I got some much desired NIO & Netty experience.
