For me, it's while mowing the lawn, gardening, and washing the dishes. I used to on public transport, but that's my Duolingo & music time now.

Sometimes I'll listen to a few minutes of a podcast in the morning while shaving & getting ready - Leo Laporte's "The Tech Guy" podcast is great for this, because each support call is usually just a few minutes long.

I sometimes listen to podcasts while exercising or have a long walk somewhere, but I'm more likely to listen to music for that.

Oh - and some of the podcasts I listen to are about music production / music technology. One of my new favorites is the Sonic Talk podcast (even though their website looks terrible), and Pensado's Place is also good sometimes:

Translations of movie titles are a pet peeve of mine. They are bad everywhere, and have been since way before the times of Internet streaming.

My favourite example is Die Hard, which was translated to Polish as "Szklana Pułapka" (a glass trap). Presumably because the action took place in a skyscraper. I just wish I could have seen the faces of TV execs when they learned that Die Hard 2 came out, and was about airplane hijacking.
You're right. But synthesizing enough material to be relevant to an industrial effort is a leap of engineering so large as to be beyond our capacity to imagine its possibility.
None of the current browsers in 2018 even render the same URI in the same way. Depending on your OS, Browser, and screen DPI, the page will be subtlety different. However none of that actually prevents you from reading the page content. Which is what this is all about. Pixel perfect rendering is just not that important.

I was also very confused by OP as well. I’m thinking maybe by customer he means a business using his analytics service. That would explain why it needs to scale for his first customer, and why one customer could have terabytes of data.
In addition to what others have said (you need to understand the game, not be an actual player of it), many channels cultivate a community of the same regular viewers. While gaming is technically the thing that brings them all together, the streamers' humor, community in-jokes, and a sense of shared interest are what make different channels unique. As a non-gamer, that's why I watch a few of them regularly.

Watching streams is "about" gaming in the same sense that tailgating is "about" football.

I spent the day finally adding a modern build system / bundler to my side project, and I chose Parcel. Parcel is really cool! I really wish they'd stop calling it "zero-configuration". It has configuration options (--out-dir, --public-url), there's just no configuration file for them. I really wish they would make one, since it's annoying to have your configuration be hidden in a batch file.

Well, if you had read it you would understand why there really is no difference between an original and an exact atomic replica. Just as it makes no sense to distinguish between two copies of Microsoft Word and call one "the original", it makes no sense to distinguish between two atomically identical objects. (Or at the very least you would know that there is an argument for this position, to which you might have actually been able to muster a counter-argument rather than simply proclaiming with no supporting evidence whatsoever that "it's still a replica and not the original." No, an exact atomic replica is not "just a replica". But I'm not going to recapitulate the entire argument here.)

[warning: serious layman imagination ahead]

FTL === back in time, and maybe we don’t observe it since it doesn’t happen often. Like in iPhones that don’t spontaneously in cosmos every 2^30 years. Another cue is QM entanglement that somehow resolves the inconsistencies by out-of-timeline ‘decisions’ of what ‘really’ happened once you checked the outcome. If nature works in mysterious ways, why couldn’t it resolve the fact of time travel by the same logic: yeah, an object appeared from nowhere, but it disappeared from somewhere, no brainer. Our puzzle is to create serious enough paradox for the nature for it to resolve it in a desired way. First experiments may resemble our first ‘friendship’ with the energy of atom, but then who knows.
I studied it at the University, it was introduced after Pappo's theorem and other theorem demonstrated using Descriptive Feometry most of all.

On the other end it was a Projective Geometry course and at the end we used a lot the General Linear Group, in particular 4x4 matrices for bilinear forms, so it was like warming up with Geometry to arrive to the Algebra tools.

> complaining in a court of law about some harm you suffered

Even in that case, at least in the US, one must do the equivalent of bringing the solution. Lawsuits have to ask for some kind of relief, be it monetary, injuctive, or both [1]. They can't merely be a complaint that open-endedly asks the court to decide the solution.

The exception is for criminal cases, and those are brought by the government, not individuals.

> But you should never

"Never" is an extremely high standard, superlative, even, which makes it difficult to agree with.

> make someone feel like their complaint doesn’t deserve to be heard unless they also have a ready made solution in hand too.

This strikes me as a strawman, because the discussion isn't really about people's feelings, whether they deserve to be heard, nor if a particular solution is ready made (as opposed to merely a proposed, initial version).

Remember, the OP is asking about how best to challenge trends. In that context, the advice is to provide an alternative solution, in addition to criticisms of that trend.

Since that advice is based on the giver's personal experience with the relative receptivity to such challenges, at least in a particular company, that makes it valid advice.

You may well feel that it is somehow morally or ethically wrong for the people in that company to have been less receptive to a challenge in the absence of an alternate solution, but they still were. Such a moral position doesn't invalidate the advice.

[1] Also declarative relief, but that's rarely in response to something that can easily be likened to a complaint, as we're discussing in this context.
Deleted my comment and resposting it here, since it belongs to this topic.

Is the analogy made to failed startups already? Let me steal a couple of things mentioned in the article and just replace the topic of Twitch streamers with startups. I am now a self-proclaimed startup guru for the remainder of this comment by using this article as my source :D
Reasons for starting a startup other than being financially successful or successful through social impact are: (1) it is a form of self-improvement, (2) you will connect with people and (3) you can express your political views. Note on expressing your political views: create an amazing product that helps your political views like starting a hospice clinic that is pro or against euthanasia.

Don't try to get fake likes for your marketing campaign, or fake emails for that matter. Related, buying into reciprocal deals is dangerous (e.g. you like someone and they'll like you).

Oh, and if you're able to be comfortable being lonely, not taking rejection personal and keep a work rhythm that you can stick with then you may have a chance of success. However, it all comes down to quite a bit of luck still, didn't I mention you need to be comfortable being lonely?

I wish there were more articles like this. Despite the fact it's not a post-mortem it shows how tough these things (Twitch streaming or startups) can be.

Where does the analogy break according to you? I am having a bit too much confirmation bias in my thinking.
> Is there any concrete advantages to using it today?

As a new slackware user, I see the following advantages

1. no systemd

2. really minimal bare system: running htop shows less than 10 processes running (including those of root)

3. simple package management with no dependencies: a "package" is just a tgz file that you decompress into your filesystem

4. very up to date binary packages (e.g., there are just few days between the release of a new gcc version and its availability as a slackware package).

I have spent most on my life on debian and ubuntu, and I cannot imagine going back to them. Other distributions that I like are voidlinux (but unfortunately it has automatic package dependences, that limit my freedom too much) and dragonflybsd, which has also very modern packages.

I'll be speaking for Webpack, since it's the only one I use for the few internal applications at work, and I've never really used Parcel yet.

Configuring Webpack is still pretty bad. If the zero config works for you, great. But if you need to configure it yourself, it's really verbose, it's really complicated, and the documentation is a bit thin.

SplitChunks in Webpack are like black magic, they work but you don't have any idea how, and when they don't work, you still have no idea how. And you don't know if it's because you didn't configure them properly, because you don't know what is configuring them properly, because the documentation on them is so bad.

Maybe I'm just bad at configuring Webpack, but I still don't understand how many things in Webpack work, and it's given me a lot of headaches, even with the "zero config" Webpack 4.

You need to accelerate the fuel as well. And for a reaction engine, you need to carry reaction mass that you accelerate. And at some point you want to decelerate again.

Would be interesting to see whether this is at least theoretically feasible.
Caching and parallelization are my complaints with WebPack. WebPack doesn't cache that well out of the box, and plugins like HardSource seem to have errors often enough that they're kind of annoying. WebPack also doesn't have parallelization built in, so you need something like HappyPack. Maybe I was doing something stupid, but I wasn't able to get HappyPack and HardSource to work together nicely.
Yeah, I agree. "Tiny modules" is a thing in JS i.e there are people, influential developers, that champion the existence of modules like "left-pad", "is-positive-zero", etc. The idea is that "npm is the stdlib" but its not a very good one when your node_modules folder is always 1000+ large.

This is one of a few tiring patterns in the JS ecosystem. The other is "you should be using grunt", "should be using gulp", "nooo just use NPM scripts". Ok so now our package manager is a task runner too despite the insistence on "tiny modules that do one thing well coz Unix!"

Now we have webpack. That isn't tiny but is. Its not a build tool. It's a build platform. How do you extend it? Yep. Tiny modules. In the configuration. Zero conf? Maybe for a 0 dependency tiny module. Then when they introduce a major version that breaks pretty much every plugin, the response? "That is what we call a fixed mindset. We want a growth mindset".

I wouldn't mind if the package management solution was built with tiny, one-big-lib in mind. I wouldn't mind if the ecosystem didn't contradict itself so much. Its just tiring.
PureFit Keto Advanced weight loss: keto fat burn reviews – effects
This is one thing that really changed my view on healthfulness. Here [1] is a list of Ancient Greeks. Looking at the age of death (for those that did not die in things such as war) does not really look all that different from modern society. But for all of the Greeks wonder and ingenuity, they remained mostly completely ignorant of medicine and illness. Miasma Theory [2] persisted as the dominant medical view throughout their civilization.

Water 'purification' in most cases (on occasion it was boiled) did nothing to remove the tasteless toxins that can cause illness and water was mostly just judged by how clear it looked and how it tasted/smelled. Food safety again being something of a sniff/taste test. Vaccines of course would not be invented for thousands of years. Some of the quirks of their civilization included shared butt wiping sponges at public toilets - you'd clean off the sponge using either running water, or on occasion a bucket of vinegar. And so on.

The point of this is that if we provided these Ancient Greeks with nothing but urgent life-saving emergency care from modern technology, it's highly likely that their life expectancy would dwarf ours of today. So what exactly was it in their culture that we've lost? They did so many things so differently that we can probably all kick in some confirmation bias to support our own personal hypotheses for some particular subset. But I prefer to just look at things holistically and consider that aiming to emulate their lifestyles is probably a better overall way to aim for a long and healthy life than is relying so heavily on medicine and technology.

EDIT: Just, completely coincidentally, saw another related article here [3]. Anyhow, it provides an important datum: "More than 23 percent of Americans took three or more prescription drugs in the past 30 days, according to a 2017 CDC estimate. Furthermore, 39 percent over age 65 take five or more, a number that’s increased three-fold in the last several decades. There are about 1,000 known side effects and 5,000 drugs on the market, making for nearly 125 billion possible side effects between all possible pairs of drugs. Most of these have never been prescribed together, let alone systematically studied, according to the Stanford researchers."

I have worked in three organizations that used SAP. All three had problems and the high sunk costs made it hard to move elsewhere. I think a good way to measure theefficiency of the systems is to call three random admins or secretaries at an institution. In my experience, everyone complained about version incompatibilities, speed, logic (I got to see the UX once, it was a nightmare).

I would estimate using the SAP systems costs about 10% of productivity (net after gains through digitalization of processes).
No, the exact quote was:

> Amazon used about 80X the capacity of their entire AWS public cloud

which is probably closer to "the capacity that is available via AWS is a tiny, tiny fraction of their overall computing power.. therefore adding it back in when things are falling over doesn't actually solve any problems."
Iterating without improvement is just making a different wheel, if you know what I mean.

It gives the impression of progress without actually making progress.

This is also why I got tired being a programmer after doing it for many years. First version is always super nice. Then you add features, and refactor. Doing this is slower and slower the bigger your software gets. At the end, your software is filled with complexity and you want to rewrite it from scratch. So you do, and you are back with a nice version. Until again, more features need to be added.

Now, does this example above mean the developer is innovating? Are we getting somewhere? No. At the end, his product is going to be replaced by other products that does the job better - until they also meet the same fate.

Slaves "had jobs" as well. Their masters just paid them in food, water, and shelter.

This whole thing about businesses "giving jobs" is ludicrous. American brainwashing. Businesses NEED workers. Not the other way around. Humans have always existed and survived for hundreds of thousands of years without "jobs". Businesses cannot survive without workers. Businesses would simply cease to exist without workers. People can still grow their own veggies and meat. Businesses can't generate profits without workers.
Others feel the same.

Fastpack is a binary JS bundler written in OCaml:

It’s new and missing some features (http://fastpack.io/docs/get-started.html ), but already faster than Webpack / Parcel. It also supports Webpack loaders.
Human lifespan has increased since ancient times, but not by that much. The idea that adults died at 30 is absurd, but persists everywhere anyway, mostly because it flatters us in the present.

Look: a lot of sensational stuff about history is in fact bullshit. I recently read an article that demonstrated to my satisfaction that the whole "Easter Islander chopping down the last tree" idea is in fact fantasy and that rats, not people, ended up deforesting the place. Isn't it a shame that such a poetic example of the hubris of man ends up not actually being true?

In reality, the past was pretty much like the present, and people today are pretty much like those of the past. Theories that rely on our ancestors being somehow obviously stupid or short-lived or morally deficient fall short of explaining the real world. If you actually read the first-hand accounts of people from ancient times, you'll find, well, people, with all the usual insecurities and foibles and temptations that exist today. (See the beautiful and sensitive correspondence between Eloisa and Abelard.)

To risk making a broader point: I reject the whig-historical attitude in which the development of humanity is some kind of inexorable progression from an awful past to a benevolent present. In reality, the only progress is scientific --- physical laws, with numbers, that you write down and that work via math. Everything else is just a matter of fashion and taste, and there's no guarantee that our descendants will agree that what we consider "progress" is in fact good and right.

Well, if it's lack of charm, it can only be the wording. I can't see or hear you. Like hluska said, it's a matter of softening your approach.

About your question on what invokes distrust, you ask too many personal questions. Where we work, our position, how much we make, where we went to school. By the volume of questions, I interpret that you want to know as much as possible about us. That leads me to believe that you also want the questions answered as precisely as possible, like being able to get the addresses of the schools and work buildings. And all this to be published publicly and left for eternity on the internet.

Let me put it another way. If a random stranger in the street or a restaurant or something started talking to you, basically asking question after question like those you put here. Would you not be suspicious of him? Why would you answer him?

About reputation, it's not about being well known, it's about having a stable identity. Using a throwaway account makes it seem like you don't want to associate yourself with this post. That's a minor point, though.

Anyways, sorry about my own wording if it's harsh. I might be a bit cranky, right now.

Dude, of course I read it. I just disagree. And with you.

> ... muster a counter-argument rather than simply proclaiming with no supporting evidence whatsoever that "it's still a replica and not the original."

It's you who are missing the point. One can have supporting evidence about which is the original.

I mean, just consider the Mona Lisa. How do we know which of the many copies of that painting are the original? We arguably don't know that through any sort of measurement. Because Da Vinci and the early owners didn't have the technology to make necessary measurements. So what would we compare our results to? Maybe one could get at it through radiochemical dating, but even that's iffy.

Anyway, how we know which is the original is through the chain of custody. And that also applies to atomically exact copies.
