That is relatively low, but definitely not low enough in my case. The price point I'm thinking of is ~$25/year; giving 96% of my revenue to Twilio would not work. The device in question would be on wifi, so I really only need the mobile data to communicate in the rare event of wifi failure. And even then I don't need much data.
TLS 1.3 could have chosen to do without certificate encryption and it would have been easier to implement. I did not mean to trivialize the enormous work to make it work with deployed hardware, but in the struggle ibetween new features and compatibilty with broken implementations, TLS ended up overwhelmingly on moving forward and breaking things and the Internet didn't collapse because of it.

Even if a DBMS only exposes read-only SQL support, that still has consistency-model implications—namely that, if you can execute several SQL statements in a transaction with a long delay between those statements, then all the statements in the transaction should execute against the same MVCC "version" of the affected tables.

So a write on that lower-level RPC interface shouldn't, by the SQL spec, be able to cause a sequence of SQL wire messages like this:

BEGIN

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo;

-- 100s later
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo;
COMMIT;

...to return separate numbers for those two SELECTs.

If it could, under Spanner, then Spanner wouldn't be conformant to [the read-only subset] of whatever SQL standard it claims to obey. But, according to the Cloud Spanner docs (https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/transactions#read-only...), the above code will always return the same values for the two queries.

And, if you're feeling argumentative, you could interpret the reason for the particular consistency semantics, as the fact that Cloud Spanner claims to support SQL, and SQL mandates that consistency. You could suppose that, without that claim, Cloud Spanner would never have bothered building a transactional MVCC layer into their architecture.
At the Mozilla Corporation? That was what @dagenix specified in the grandparent comment by "... his employees ...." Unless they deleted their tweets, let's see those twitter links.

A green handle of "communist_" does not inspire automatic belief that you truly had friends at Mozilla Corporation or know of any such tweets.

Again, if you mean the six Mozilla Foundation employees who tweeted against me as (poorly) reported by Ars Technica (see https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/03/mozil...), they were not "his employees". They worked for an entirely separate organization from the one I was running.

Back-story: Mozilla Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit set up in 2003 (I was founding board member, and a co-founder of mozilla.org in 1998 at the start). Mozilla Corporation is the for-profit, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation which exists at arms length to make taxable revenue from Firefox. The two orgs are loosely connected; the Mozilla Foundation is much smaller and all about getting and giving grants.
Nowadays skilled ones stay back in India working in startups. Those who were not able to get campus recruited from the colleges in India go for Masters in the US for a second chance.

Anecdotally, majority of them are not high skilled. Masters/PhD should not be used as a valuable metric for green card consideration.

”VCONN pin is connected to VBUS via a resistor. There are also diodes on the board”

A truly paranoid analyst would check that these things that look like a resistor or diode actually are resistors and diodes. That may not be easy, as they could contain a tiny cpu and a few bits of flash memory that change the behavior from “resistor” to something else after x power ups or, using an on-board real-time clock, at a given date, or that run in parallel to the resistor or diode. A simple RFID chip already could be somewhat of use to spies.

Even simpler, that “resistor” could contain a tiny microphone and a radio transmitter (getting reasonable audio quality and reasonable radio range likely would be a challenge, but that’s what big budgets are for).

There are already lots of CMSes out there.

Changing WP to use more modern design patterns (whatever that would entail) probably means breaking all themes and plugins, which isn't acceptable (and even if that wasn't an issue, I doubt the WP maintainers would just accept a PR that completely rewrites everything). This isn't really a thing random contributors can help with.

> From a Bayesian perspective, or from a betting one, it doesn't make sense to put probabilities in a confidence interval

"Bayesian perspective" covers a lot of territory, and your assertion depends on the situation and the modeling objective. If a probability is a model parameter (for instance, frequency of heads for a particular coin), then summarizing the posterior distribution on that parameter with a confidence interval can be a sensible thing to do.

Or do you mean as opposed to a credibility interval?

i appreciate that it sounds like you're in a stressful situation in terms of your family's cash flow.

is it possible to switch your arrangement with your client to daily billing? in a way that doesn't leave you worse off financially, compared to what your average daily revenue is currently based on hourly billing. i dont have experience with pitching this to people who had previously agreed an hourly rate, but some of the other folks here might have suggestions for how to frame such a conversation so it comes across as a win for your client as well (focus on the output of your work rather than measuring your time inputs, maybe?).

if you can do so, it might make it easier for you to justify timeboxing some time every day for self-care and non work stuff rather than feeling the need to bill hours, and help you produce better work in the long run.
Is there something you'd recommend for a person who wants to learn OCaml? Maybe some book that has great exercises, or just a toy-project example for which OCaml would be a much more "natural" pick than other languages?
It appears to be incomplete analysis, often something like mobility is far more important than the other attributes, and it is only realized from in-game analysis. You need to JIT the data I recon, for each map/course. Plus some attributes have skill ceilings and floors, so to speak, so a given attribute/ability might not benefit a less skilled player as much as a skilled player.

There are a lot of situational considerations to "best".

How one man became the largest supplier of fireworks in the U.S
Nietzsche wrote about slow reading:

"Philologie nämlich ist jene ehrwürdige Kunst, welche von ihrem Verehrer vor allem eins heischt, beiseite gehn, sich Zeit lassen, still werden, langsam werden –, als eine Goldschmiedekunst und -kennerschaft des Wortes, die lauter feine vorsichtige Arbeit abzutun hat und nichts erreicht, wenn sie es nicht lento erreicht. Gerade damit aber ist sie heute nötiger als je, gerade dadurch zieht sie und bezaubert sie uns am stärksten, mitten in einem Zeitalter der »Arbeit«, will sagen: der Hast, der unanständigen und schwitzenden Eilfertigkeit, das mit allem gleich »fertig werden« will, auch mit jedem alten und neuen Buche: – sie selbst wird nicht so leicht irgend womit fertig, sie lehrt gut lesen, das heißt langsam, tief, rück- und vorsichtig, mit Hintergedanken mit offengelassenen Türen, mit zarten Fingern und Augen lesen... Meine geduldigen Freunde, dies Buch wünscht sich nur vollkommne Leser und Philologen: lernt mich gut lesen!"

"Philology is that venerable art which demands of its votaries one thing above all: to go aside, to take time, to become still, to become slow – it is a goldsmith's art and connoisseurship of the word which has nothing but delicate, cautious work to do and achieves nothing if it does not achieve it lento. But for precisely this reason it is more necessary than ever today, by precisely this means does it entice and enchant us the most, in the midst of an age of 'work', that is to say, of hurry, of indecent and perspiring haste, which wants to 'get everything done' at once, including every old or new book: this art does not so easily get anything done, it teaches to read well, that is to say, to read slowly, deeply, looking cautiously before and aft, with reservations, with doors left open, with delicate eyes and fingers . . . My patient friends, this book desires for itself only perfect readers and philologists: learn to read me well!"

One other option is to increase the cost of putting information out there. That's basically what we had pre-internet. Having gatekeepers isn't censorship but it does cut down on dissemination of fake news. But that too has its downsides.

Another option is accountability, requiring a confirmed identity to be disclosed with any posting. If people knew who was behind fake news, it would potentially be less damaging.
As a language, it's great. As a real world environment/eco-system to get stuff soon? I've been waiting for it to get there for years, and it still hasn't. I check in every 12 months or so, am reminded how nice the language is, and quickly abandon ship when I realise how annoying it is to actually develop software.

If you want to wait a little, the "Real World Ocaml" book is being re-written. It's in beta-ish right but it looks like it would be usable.

Though the core language is the same, some of the language metaprogramming features have been totally switched out for other (better) ones. And it uses the modern versions of the Core (note, that is NOT the standard library) library.
It's not a him, right?
They could attempt that and fail miserably. There is little to fear from casual intentional copyright infringement besides a letter that can be thrown in the garbage.
Ive occasionally received those over the last decade and simply throw them out. Accidental infringement is going nowhere. And because it was officially uploaded it, there isn't any infringement at all.
I'm not sure I understand your questions. I haven't used GraphCMS so I don't know if they let you store HTML, but some CMS do, and yes that makes it harder to reuse your content in a context other than the web. I don't know, but I assume that you could probably make GraphCMS store HTML if you wanted to. The question of "can the CMS store HTML" seems orthogonal to the question of "Is it headless?" or "Does it have a GraphQL or REST API?"
You can surely have a big case around a small motor (either smaller radius or smaller length) and fill the rest with components
I used to think things like these were fun conspiracy theories for a slow afternoon. I remember seeing a guy who got Linux running on a spare ARM CPU on his SATA hard drive,
thinking "that'd be a great place for a rootkit".

But didn't think much further of it as that can be a dark rabbithole to go down. Then Snowden leaks came out, and it turned out technology was an active, hostile and full scale warzone.

These are not unreasonable thoughts to have now. Even if you prove one of these fans is safe, it does not prove that an individual has not been targeted with a fan with a payload.

Anyone interested in conlangs would do well to study Malay. It is not a constructed language per se, but modern standard Malay (Bahasa baku) underwent a massively interesting standardization phase in the 60s which resulted in a fairly consistent language today.

By contrast the standardization of Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia baku) looks comical. The rules of Indonesian are all over the place.

Unfortunately in Malaysia, modern spoken and indeed modern written Malay has gone the same way Indonesian has gone - textspeak and internet lingo made all the standardization efforts in vain. But from an intellectual point of view, standardized Malay has very nice consistent properties to it - it's a lot harder on rules than English.

For example in English there are no rules on nounification of verbs. In Malay, you simply wrap the lemma of the verb between "per...an" - so speak "kata"(meaning speak) becomes "perkataan" (meaning words). There are clearly also rules regarding spelling - "cegah" (deter) becomes "pencegahan" (deterrence) instead of "percegahan", but by and large the standards are sane and doesn't have very many exceptions, or have exceptions that can actually be encoded by rules (unlike English where it's I before E except before C, except that's not true at all).

And the best part about the standardization is that it doesn't shun the heritage of the language. There are a lot of Australasian aboriginal linguistic features that made the cut and got improved in my opinion.

Take for example, the linguistic feature that is repeated across many Australasian aboriginal languages: repeating a word to indicate a higher count.

"Laki" as a root word means "man". "Laki laki" means... "men". The standardization process that happened in the 50s formalized a rule that had been in the language earlier - "Lelaki" means "men". Interestingly here's a Indonesian grammar blog that discusses this: https://www.katabaku.com/2016/05/laki-laki-atau-lelaki-yang-... (TL;DR - "lelaki" is "true" while "laki-laki" is canonical form)

In Malaysia, the word "laki-laki" is no longer being used. Instead the language and community converged upon using the word "lelaki", which is a more succint and elegant way of using it.

TL;DR - Malay went through a very nice standardization process while Indonesian went through in my opinion, a not-as-well-thought-of standardization process.

So you are committed to paying for the remote hands and can't get out of it, or have already fully paid for lifetime support from the remote hands and can't get a refund :)

That doesn't mean that there can't be cost savings from automation. For example if it costs X in lost business due to a misunderstanding by the remote hands that extends the outage unnecessarily, then a certain number of times avoiding that X cost would pay for the investment in automation. You pay the "sunk" and the new cost but you avoid unnecessary costs in the long run.

It's all a matter of fully modeling your costs and benefits. Noting that certain costs are sunk is a partial model.
Even if not the motor, they could likely fit some components in the USB jack itself, before it reaches the pins/board
That's precisely the point. Airbnb decided they were now maintaining web, iOS, Android, AND THEN React Native instead of only web and React Native. Their costs went up, not down.

I've found far too often over the years that companies decide to use a hybrid framework to save time and money and take just as long to write the app with equally as much cost. Then no one wants to maintain the finished product. It requires too many unlikely skill sets and trickier debugging.

React Native isn't automatically cheaper because it's a hybrid. Hybrids work great for trivial apps that look a lot like the examples. A hybrid framework also has to address every new niche the native solution fills or else integrations themselves add up to a massive cost.
As much as I hate NoSQL (which is considerable), I think it was destined to happen.

Sometimes the incumbent needs a kick in the ass. It feels like the pace of improvement in boring old databases has had an uptick for the last five or so years. That feeling of slowness is probably what opened the door in the first place. If you put enough beers in me I would have admitted as much at the time. Database progress got boring.

But the other thing is that people forget the past when it's been too long since the Dark Times. I have my fingers crossed, and perhaps I will regret that naivete some day, but I have my fingers crossed anyway that there's a whole generation of young developers that will know, viscerally, why we use Relational Databases. Why concurrent access to data is hard and we should leave it to the professionals instead of rolling our own every time we're feeling bored at work. The same way we generally let other people do billing, or data viz.

[Edit to add]

One of the biggest things I'm champing at the bit for an opportunity to use is the newer event streaming stuff that builds on exporting the WAL data from ACID databases. My OLTP data set gets to be the system of record as God and Man intended, but there's a perfectly sane mechanism to support the occasionally very valid OLAP-oriented business concerns. Any time a tool can take away something that makes my life difficult or unpredictable is a good tool.

I just haven't been at the right sized company that it's an unsolved problem that we need to solve, and I have higher priorities for my own stuff.

I think it should be noted that this is the entire Spanish language Wikipedia, not Spanish as in "from Spain", so this shutdown affects a lot of people (estimated 350 million native Spanish speakers worldwide).

I haven't seen the community discussion that led to this decision, but assuming that it was democratically decided across collaborators from the entire Spanish-speaking world, I think gives the protest a lot more weight than the title may suggest.
