There is no "management". There's just people, in positions or more or less power over others.

At some companies, these people are well selected, trained, and caring individuals who understand who to build and nurture teams.

At others, these people are dicks who have got into their position via Peter Principle. being frat buddies with CEO etc. who view workers as resources to be squeezed and discarded.

And everywhere in between.

Sounds like you got unlucky at that place.

He built an analog computer that could predict tide levels. They wanted extreme tides so that at low tide the navy could map out the traps the Nazis left, and at high tide they could land lots of troops. It turned out that acceptable tide conditions happened on June 5, 6, and 7.

The actual invasion happened on June 6.
> Technically covers, but you can see that the screw-holes of the cooler go right over the dies. So you've got some air-pockets over the most-important parts to cool.

Sorry, I don't see any screw holes overlapping dies in that image; can you point them out?

Also, won't screw holes generally have screws in them, which are both conductive and not air?
I read that a big part of this sentiment was because it was all ground up, shell, guts, and all, when served.
I'm not talking about overlap in simple language features, I'm talking about actual code reuse. It's often touted as the reason to use JS on front and backend, but it's a pipe dream. It almost never works in practice.

If I'm trying to get things done as efficiently as possible, I'm not using Node because the ecosystem is pretty terrible compared to other languages like Ruby and Python. Sure there are lots of libraries available in npm, but I've found that a lot of them are janky or hard to use, missing features, poorly documented, incompatible with each other, etc.

What I took away:

If you want to say 'Santa Claus doesn't exist', you can't write a formula ~E x. x=Santa Claus. Because then you are conceding in your logic that some object Santa Claus exists.

So there is some connection between the structure of sentences we can construct in our logic and metaphysical claims. We should then try to understand differences in metaphysical claims by finding differences in logics.

The author then tries to show this for the metaphysical claim, 'Statements are true or false independent of whether they can be verified.' Instead of arguing about what is truth, what does it mean for a proposition to be verified. We can instead as about the differences in the logic. Because to even talk about truth and existence we need a logic first.

So don't think there is a claim that choice of logic forces claims about real world existence. I think is the more subtle connection, that choice of logic forces a choice about rules of inference.

Real world claims would need to be based on introducing propositions (which are independent of the logic?) and then using rules of inference (which are dependent on the logic).
I have a Comcast business account. I've had an IPv6 address for a few years, and generally, it has worked exactly as expected. I've had two outages that are notable:

1. an outage where v6 traffic was just dropped, period. It took a service call, but was fixed within a day, IIRC. It was no more or less painful than any other service call.

2. an outage where v4 TCP SYNs were dropped, mostly; once a connection was established, the connection was fine. AFAICT, this was some issue, perhaps HW failure, with their modem/router combo. Once the router was replaced, the issue was fixed. This took several days to correct, mostly because it was difficult to convince Comcast's techs that the physical copper cable is probably not discriminating against IPv4 traffic.

My experience w/ their business division is that the support agents have some light experience. My experience w/ their residential side is that the support agents have never seen a computer.

The rollout to business was after the rollout to residential; I also filled out a form requesting one way back in the day when they were essentially polling for interest.
Easily Bulk Invite LinkedIn Connections To Your Group With Extended Filtering/Searching Features In Few Clicks

When you are planning to invite some of your LinkedIn connections to your own LinkedIn group, which you manage, you need to have some features which can make the whole process much easier.

Some features like:
* Browsing through the full list of your connections
* Filtering connections by name
* Filtering connections by occupation
* Listing already invited connections
* Rescinding invited connections
* Listing group members who are not 1st degree connections

Unfortunately, the recent "Manage Group" interface lacks these kind of features as currently you can only short list your connections by name through an autocomplete textbox.

But, the good news is that you can have these features and more if you use this tool :)

No, but it might mean you should be careful about proprietary databases.

Which is to say I believe there is a point to be made in there about what can and has happened. And what there is to be cautious of.
So how many employees exactly went 'ill' in China? According to the article it seems 1 person originally this past spring and now 2 parents this past week.

> The mystery spread to China this spring, when the first employee fell ill, and fears escalated last month when the government warned other employees to seek medical attention if they experienced unusual ailments. So far this week, another employee, his wife and their two children were evacuated after the parents exhibited neurological symptoms. Officials said they expected that at least some others would be flown out of the country as well.

Not a huge sample size to guarantee something is happening... but I'd imagine the US gov has looked into it pretty closely and isn't overreacting without some good evidence of deteriorated health.
In fact, kubernetes won't solve high-availability for you. It is completely orthogonal to failover.

Does anyone has the same issue when VSCode is a bit agressive, adding closing brackets, or closing “” when it’s not really necessary (because it’s already closed or something)?
Seems like from that it's just framework construction. It may have the same internal structure as an ontology, but to say the statements have any external correspondence (to the metaphysical; I'm using 'external' loosely) would require an extra step.

I can set an ontology where `thingamajiggers` are the only entity (so I guess the only truth condition for '∃x P(x)' is that P(x) is a thingamajigger), and I guess if you want to you can say I'm doing metaphysics at that point, though it does seem a little pointless to do so.
No, not necessarily. We would see wage depression as supply of applicants depresses wages because the demand remains relatively constant. Which might explain why wages stagnated but productivity simultaneously went up.
‘The Book of Why’ Examines the Science of Cause and Effect
It's informative in that it tells one that one should stay away from grsec's patch sets and why.

When the BDFL of one's kernel says something like that, combined with how radioactive the community interaction seems to have been in the past, the notion that one might get sufficient support or have positive interactions with the wider community while using the grsec kernel fork is dubious at best.
I'm pretty sure it can die from math, too.

I don't think using kubernetes is useful for small projects. It's currently still a hastle, even though it has evolved a lot. Not much in terms of benefits to show for it either.

I would read up on Docker though. Having your apps in docker does provide some nice benefits like better isolation, keeps you up with newer tech and you can then easily integrate with Kubernetes. It's also rather relatively easy to achieve.
Its an impressive example of human knowledge and ingenuity, although the article does get a little overly dramatic with it.

Perhaps that's a side effect of how crowded that period of history is with these kinds of things. It's hard to look at any date range between 1939-1945 and not find at least one or two accomplishments which seem almost impossible for the time and technology.
I'm pretty sure you're being facetious, but I'll answer anyway for anyone reading this that doesn't get it.

There was a great article a few years back talking about how mainframes and the cloud were similar architectures with a focus on the challenges of multi-tenancy and focused on the fact that the cloud companies were hiring some people who had helped develop mainframes. For the life of me, I can't find it now (all my searches just bring up articles about migrating mainframes to the cloud).

Some of the main differences is that mainframes had an integrated coding environment (and usually no dev/staging/prod separation). Probably more important is that mainframes are usually built to be highly reliable (hardware failures are rare), whereas most cloud providers are using commodity servers that are meant to fail often (If you're using AWS at any sort of scale, you've probably seen a server go down because of a hardware failure). With mainframes you're typically paying the cost upfront (CapEx) and amortizing the cost over time (with mainframes being expected to last 10+ years?) vs the OpEx cost of the cloud.
You can also use the information to optimise your workforce.

Lets say you're a big home improvement chain opening a new store. You need to get 150 workers to staff the new store.

Do you want to hire 250 people cold and hand the new store off to them? No.

You want to take the top 100 performers from nearby stores, who are busting for a chance to prove themselves, and pepper pot them into the new store, in positions of team leadership, seniors, etc. (And then do a bunch of hiring for the remaining 150, and the 100 to replace the ones you just transferred).

These are the sorts of win-win efficiencies you can pull off if you have good performance data for employees.

(Also astonishingly rare to see in action in the real world, but that's another story :)
I never understand what 25 times less means. Why not "a 25th?"

I've never used Rails, but I will be surprised to learn this "migrations/models" abstraction allows the full range of foreign keys, indexes, triggers, constraints, stored procs, etc. without which we might as well just be on NoSQL...

Social security will always be around in one form or another. Despite the fact that many Americans detest the idea of a welfare state, we're still collectively bright enough to realize that you can't simply leave no options for the sick, poor, and disabled.

The better question to ask is whether you will be happy living out the twilight of your life on a government controlled amount of money. This amount will likely always gravitate toward the prevailing poverty line. Unlikely to lead to a truly comfortable existence. Definitely not enough to live in any high COL location. Average monthly benefit in 2017 was ~$1,300, and MAX was $2,687 [1]. ~$15-$30K will cover the basics in most lower COL parts of the country, but not much more.

Computing is the extreme example of this phenomenon. Economists don't in general have a great way to handle this issue, because it varies so greatly across industries. A loaf of bread is just about the same as it's always been. Oh wait, maybe wonderbread is worse and artisinal ciabatta is better?

Sometimes economists like to create some aggregate measure of increasing consumer choice by counting the number of SKUs available in a store. Big box stores pushing out Mom & Pop made that awkward. Now Amazon makes it tougher still.

Back in grad school, I was not aware of any consensus on the topic. I haven't kept up with it since.

One technique is to focus your research on products that are largely stable in quality. For example, wine glasses. Not plastic ones, but glass or crystal. They've got a fairly large distribution in "quality" or at least in price and yet had a fairly stable range of quality since the 1950s.
Nope, you're good.
I don’t know if caps are politically safe. After all even Obama wasn’t able to remove 529 college savings plans which purportedly benefit the upper middle class who don’t need that much help. Caps going up to say 500,000 sounds like it would meet a lot of resistance to me.

Once you had database clusters, it became possible to run a bunch of machines rather than one giant machine. That turned out to be less expensive for most people. The machines were cheaper, because they could be commodity machines, because each individual machine didn't have the insane reliability requirements that mainframes have.
Right. I'd just hope that at some point that cycle ends and people try to fix existing tools instead of replacing everything wholesale with something new that will eventually fail again.
It's not a hot take to think that an unsustainable service that many members of government have campaigned on reducing or eliminating entirely wont exist in 30+ years.

IMO, Kubernetes is another indicator of the success of Go (Docker is too). Go is simple and fast like C, yet safe like Python. It really combines great performance and safety.

Interestingly even the Annex K strncpy_s and strncat_s are unsafe by design, that's why I only added them to the safeclib via --enable-unsafe.

But recently I got fed with all this unsafety nonsense with the truncating variants and changed the implementation to always terminate the asciiz string properly.

The security of one and security of another aren't an apples to apples comparison.

The underlying security of the operating system and user applications running in it has very different risks and benefits versus the integrity of source code commits and who gets to make them.

The latter is something they're equipped to deal with without changing tools. They've decided that the costs of making that technology change aren't worth the benefits that it provides and I mostly agree.

The biggest problem with Ipv6 I feel is, its written as a replacement for Ipv4 instead of extending it.
Probably not. Container services really shine when you have a lot of different teams that all need to launch services and not worry about what happens at the hardware level or where they run. This makes sense at a lot of large companies like Facebook and Google where they have a dedicated team running the container layer. GKE makes it a bit easier but then you're locked into Google Cloud.

If you're only running a few services it really doesn't make much sense to setup Kubernetes. I setup a small cluster a few weeks ago and it certainly was a lot more involved than I expected. I ended up deciding not to use it, since it didn't really add much (for my use case) and I felt like if anything went wrong I'd be in a world of hurt trying to debug it.

Took a lot more time to setup Kubernetes than my entire current deployment system which uses https://github.com/pressly/sup.

However, dockerizing your projects might not be a bad idea depending on what you're doing. I dockerize a lot of my projects since it makes it super easy to deploy when using the automatic Docker Hub builds. Though I did have a problem where Docker upgraded and make all of my existing containers unrunnable.
The idea that you should avoid grsecurity because Linus Torvalds, the "BDFL", says so is so messed up I actually don't know how to rebut it.

Either way: I'm not saying Retguard is based on RAP --- my question was, "what's the relationship between the techniques". But if there is a relationship, OpenBSD should be explicit about it, so that we can keep track of the evolution of memory corruption countermeasures.

I do not care whether you think people should or shouldn't run grsecurity.
Hugo, Python and Sheets, Oh My
What was the original reason for all the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 instead of doing IPv4 modified with a bigger address space?
A quick google search for "taylor swift programming" tells me... maybe.
Nope. I'm the implementor of this variant, and even the safe variant was designed as unsafe.

In my implementation, the safeclib, I made it safe just recently.
Oh, please. If you want to throw stones about behavior in the Linux kernel you're going to need to throw them at a hell of a lot more people than Grsec - there's decades of shit piled up.

Linus has always been a total blowhard when it comes to... everything, but in particular when it comes to security. I wouldn't take his opinions too seriously on the matter.

The fact is that grsec still maintains the state of the art for memory safety mitigations.

AWS ElasticBeanstalk or Google App Engine flex or something from Heroku is what you are talking about. Container management but simplified for the common use case. You can implement the same thing with k8s, but why bother for small stuff. The real value in k8s is large, company-wide installations where everyone shares each others hardware. Even then, I've heard anecdotes that kubernetes doesn't scale to the point Borg or whatever other proprietary system does. Then again, those are niche use cases to begin with.
I can certainly construct scenarios where magic AR tech could be a breakout product category. Glasses that look approximately like other glasses. No social stigma. Able to automagically project directions, identify people, display information about places/objects. Unobtrusive control through a watch, vocal commands, or other means. Etc.

But that's asking a lot. I'd probably be willing to stipulate it will happen at some point, for at least some use cases (e.g. industrial). But Not sure that 5-ish years will do it.
Unless they've reduced the price, Azure Container Instances is mainly for one-off/bursty tasks. If you need a service running 24/7, it's prohibitively expensive.
