If they said, "1P doesn't comment on rumors, etc or we have no comments at this time" like Apple it would be very off brand for them and would make people assume they were getting bought. If they didn't say anything people would assume they were getting bought. So all they can do is deny without blatantly lying such as they can't say something like, "we have had no talks with Apple about an acquisition or offering our special program to apple employees.". But they can say something like rumors are false, since they don't say what part of the rumor is false, and they aren't planning to sell until they actually do. We'll know very soon if Apple employees do get a special version soon and if that part of the rumor is true, one can assume they eventually will purchase them, or talent purchase.
China uses more coal and produces more CO2 for electricity, but uses less total fossil fuels (60.6%) than the US (64.2%). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_China VS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_of_the_Unit...

China has a significantly higher % of it's electricity generated from renewables than the USA and a much faster adoption curve. So, adding electric cars is still a very large net gain for the environment over IC cars.

No of course not, it would be a waste of money to force cassette tapes into having decent sound quality. Anyone who cares about that is going to be using either lossless files or a good modern lossy codec.

What people want is the shitty version of cassette tape, the one they grew up listening to on their birthday present portable tape players. Probably tapes recorded on a middling-quality player from an LP.

And I get it. If I were to buy a classic car of some sort, you can absolutely bet it would have a tape deck, and I would gladly use it.
Civ 2 should run in DOSBox, graphical stuff under WSL is a hassle.
Not here to comment on Segments engineering prowness, I have no clue one way or another. However; I think an overwhelming number of engineers and developers are mislead in believing that you have to have the perfectly crafted program/service/app/whatever in order for it to be successful.

It doesn't! Your tech stack has next to no impact on the success of your product.

Making something useful is really all that matters. Is the service running? Great, that's all the end user cares about. The back end could be a bunch of code copy-pasted off old form posts from 1998 and string together with scotch tape as long as it works.

The end user doesn't care about what language you use.
They don't care if you use redis, mysql, postgres, or mssql 2000.
They don't care if the HTML or CSS is messy. They won't judge you if you don't use SASS or LESS or whatever is popular today.

The most successful side project of mine runs on a $20/m VPS and has been re-written 3 times and the code has been pretty terrible every time because every re-write was done in a new language I learnt over a weekend and never touched again. The first was some horrible PHP, then some less horrible PHP, then GO, and recently someone re-write it (properly) in elixir. The end user doesn't know, the end user doesn't care. The site gets about 250K uniques a month and the API handles about 350 million requests a month. The crappy GO I wrote in a weekend worked just the same for the end user as the fancy elixir.

Anyways, sorry for the rant. I've just seen so much wasted effort go on projects that never launch because people are too concerned about stuff that really doesn't matter in the long run.

If your stuff runs like crap because it found a market fit and you have people signing up and your crappy code can't handle it, then that is a FANTASTIC problem you now get to solve.
Alas, it's a fairly established term at this point.
If it was meant ironically, then it was funny. Otherwise, it's disturbing.
Yeah I mean the original Surface was 10" too. This seems like a nice product, but there isn't anything particularly revolutionary about it. Except it has a USB-C port - finally.
> I doubt any would be considered 'micro', but instead they are designed around functional areas like authentication or backend processing.

Yeah, who knows what micro means, but that's exactly how I like to split up services. If at some point a service gets too large, split it up. Hundreds of services out the gate is a gross premature optimization. (And like most premature optimizations, ends up costing much more time both in development and in maintenance.)
It's rear-view mirroring though. Some CS tech from after the 60's proved to be useful.
I would, but would have started earlier. Now that I'm working my main focus is building on my hirable skills. If I had started 5 or so years earlier (high school) I would potentially have more time to play and learn the things I'm more interested in (languages, embedded systems, etc.), rather than focusing on marketability.

My understanding is that, like SpaceX, Tesla's goal is to build a large number of the required parts in house, enabling rapid design iteration. There is also a goal to automate a large proportion of the manufacturing process, although it has become clear that the limits of current technology are being tested here.

Outside of extreme irrationality, this is difficult to imagine: murder is a much bigger crime than theft, and a much, much bigger crime than threatening someone (but ultimately doing nothing).

The detterance from simply being shot is that theres nothing to gain, and doing so increases your risk substantially.

Now, if there was little risk, such as you're in a shithole that the cops have gave up on anyways, or you're a known and hated gang member that no one will particularly miss, then its another story. But this why an eye-for-an-eye is an almost necessary strategy in lawless areas: the threat of your kin means that killing just you doesn't end the story. In lawful lands, the police play that role.

Of course, some will just ignore the risk and shoot you anyways, but thats just how it goes. After they take your money, they could shoot you too. Hell, if they're really stupid they might even shoot you before.

If they're going to ignore the risk associated with the act, regardless of how risky it is, then there's not much you can do about it. Except shoot them first, I guess.
as others have said, it's encrypted if you enable the "master password" option; however, the ux of the master password is miserable:

* the prompt for entering your master password is a simple dialog, with "ok" and "cancel" buttons. a website could probably trigger an identical prompt with javascript to phish your master password.

* the prompt pops up once when you first start the browser (about 15-30 seconds after everything is loaded) and then (if you dismiss it with "cancel") again each time you visit a site for which you have a saved password. there's no way to trigger the unlock prompt on-demand.

* the master password doesn't have a timeout. once you've unlocked the keychain, it remains unlocked until you restart the browser.

don't bother. stick with whatever third-party extension you're using.

Not necessarily a fair comparison. A bit oranges vs apples there.

Most of the Gatsby time is usually doing bundling of css, js, etc with Webpack. I would imagine if you did that with a Hugo site you would run into the initial 15-20 seconds to bundle & then a few seconds to convert all your markdown pages into static HTML pages.

That said, I would assume Hugo still wins but not by near as much.

So you can argue that Hugo is much faster, if you don't have a use for Webpack on your site. If you don't want the fancy bells & features Gatsby provides, you should for sure pick Hugo over it.
DBX was really cool, there were also DBX-encoded LPs available for a while. Unfortunately it also made the recordings sound absolutely horrible if your player didn't support DBX (as you noticed), so it was a massive failure.

The days of physical media for music are generally over, but I just feel cassette tapes could have been so much better than they ended up being.
That's a different situation that trades off against it. Being able to pay extortionists helps when you randomly encounter vindictive extortionists. It hurts when extortionists do research to figure out who to target.

It's probably not a bad idea to have like $40 in your wallet.

The person replying to her creates videos of the game and is quite popular among the playerbase. He even makes videos focusing on the lore of the game. He's qualified to discuss it.

And thinking that you're above the criticism of readers as a writer because those readers dont themselves write is arrogant, speaking as a professional developer who both understands how dumb the audience can be, but also gets irritated by other people in my field who belittle them.
Ticketing the tourists would serve the special interests of the rich idiots who bought properties in the neighborhood despite knowing it was part of the route to the sign.

Saying the Europeans subjugated and killed people in the name of capitalism is one heck of a claim. Mostly they did it in the name of their country and king or whatever excuse. But they certainly didn't say: "I'm enslaving you and stealing your capital in the name of a free market system which believes every person is the owner and price arbitrar of their own labor," which is so outlandish a claim as to require extremely compelling documentation to the contrary.

If anything, Adam Smith's most famous work on free trade was a critical moral point in ending English slavery, which dovetailed nicely in with reformed Christian beliefs against slavery.

And free trade capitalism is just a tool, but a tool so powerful it lifts billions out of poverty even when they're ruled by totalitarian governments. Or would you argue that the US's efforts to reform Chinese communism were more effective than it's efforts in engaging in free trade, in helping alleviate the suffering tens of millions? We should all support freedom and democracy, but lets not kid ourself about the power of free trade markets to improve people's lives faster than simply advocating for the vote and free speech.

Not to my knowledge. I'd just do something simple by changing your CloudFormation (or Terraform or whatever) templates, deploying the new config, and then running another load test. Could also just spin multiple different versions of the Lambda up, but at some point you need to start getting creative to actually generate enough traffic and running multiple load tests at the same time becomes a pain.

When it comes to load testing tools I like Vegeta[1], personally. (Though I've also used some much more complicated proprietary tools when testing at great scale.)

The US is about 1/3rd coal, 1/3rd gas, and the rest carbon neutral (mostly nuclear). China is about 2/3rds coal, a tiny bit of other burning stuff, and the rest carbon neutral (mostly hydro).

Looks to me like the US is much better for emissions. Especially since US coal plants are probably a lot cleaner.

> The US has lost and continues to lose huge amounts of credibility over the last two years.

One could reasonably argue this goes back to the Ukranian conflict. The previous administration hardly bolstered the notion that the US would hold up to promises and supposed red lines.
What I have last known is that GIL languages work well in multicore scenarios as long as all N tasks have I/O calls that serve as yielding points for the interpreter, and they do not use preemptive scheduling like the BEAM VM (Erlang, Elixir, LFE, Alpaca) do.

In my experience, it's a bit of both, and they are mutually reinforcing. If you want to always play with shiny new things, you might be more likely to jump around to different places, which a padded resume helps with.
How can it hit the rate limit error so quickly? From the output in my terminal it is really slow...
So they went from managing 100's of little parts to a just a single one and are loving it. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
Paypal is too big compared to Square & Stripe combined.Also as per my knowledge, in the case of holding money, it depends on case by case basis. I am extensively using Paypal in my day to day online purchases and i never had any issues. If they are holding money it may be bcoz of some risk associated with that account. Call customer care and your issue will be resolved.
I encountered this on one website, that recently rewrote their website to be mobile-responsive. Depending on the width of the browser window, the right selectors would be totally different, talk about confusing!
It's a tradeoff. I hand assemble all my boards. I try to keep minimal finished-goods inventory, so that means build to order if I don't estimate quantities right. The latency of a contract manufacturer would be unacceptable in this case.

"I'm not sure if you're agreeing or if you meant it as a different viewpoint, but it sounds like we agree."

Agreement. I was mostly arguing against a ghost argument of my past, where people get dogmatic that schemas must live in the database. I'm much less dogmatic about that. Mostly I just want DRY; the schema should try to live in as few places as possible, preferably one, though that is particularly hard here. But it doesn't bother me too much for the DB to not be any of them; in the past few years I think all my databases have ended up with JSON blobs in them. But by careful choice, and still with some careful design to it, not because "woo hoo, I can just throw whatever I want into these fields!".
Oh righto, I'm operating from info beyond just this article.

WB will be building a visitor center in the lot where the tramway will start, as part of the upgrades to their public facilities where they currently have studio audiences wait. They're trying to do what Universal Studios did: make their studios a tourist attraction. As part of those plans, they'll be adding exhibits and other attractions/stores/restaurants, like a minature Universal Citywalk.
Social classes existed before; when revolutions occurred, the composition of each class and the composition of society into classes change.

Just like there are almost 50% of women in a society, the bottom social class (in terms of power, money, etc) is huge. So, whatever mobility one perceives is in the bottom class: moving from $15 hour security guard job to $150K jr dev job.

People from non-American countries recognize this. However, in America, the bottom class since WWII till late 1970's, had a nice job, pension, a home, two cars, with one spouse working; this created the illusion of 'class less' society in America.

When one says that there is no mobility, we are comparing the life of today with that of post-WW2 middle class era.

Even if we look at John Rawls, his difference principle does not eradicate classes. Basically, that principle in one version is same as "a rising tide lifting all boats"; in another version, it is fair to lift some poor boats higher than other boats, even at the expense of the latter.
I don't understand why when people incorporate another culture's assets respectfully in their own work, that it's considered 'hijacking'?
Or use versioning and a package manager. You should be able to introduce vNext and then have each service update at its own pace, with a deprecation strategy so that service owners are responsible to get off the old version by such-and-such time. But as others mentioned, part of the problem seems to be too many services given the size of the team.
Great point. Hugo does a bit more css processing now, but not nearly as much as Gatsby would.
In particular, if the use-case calls for all dependencies to be bundled together, then why not an uberjar? Why use something as wonky as Docker when the JVM eco-system offers a solution that has been solid and mature for 15 years?

This is happening now for mechanical design. They call it generative design. You give inputs (volume/shape, loading cases, other parameters) and then the software iteratively solves for the optimum geometry to meet the goals.

Casey's a really smart person, who contributes a lot to the indie gaming scene, I have a lot of respect for him. But this rant of his you've linked to isn't really meaningful to this discussion.

1) Half of this rant is complaining about how terrible Razer is as a company. Razer's software and hardware problems are well known and well documented, none of that is Microsoft's fault.

2) "Pop-ups during gameplay" is part of what you get from having an open operating system. Sure, it might sound nice for Windows to ban anything from interrupting gameplay (as Casey says, "no gamer would ever accept a popup during gameplay -- it's absurd to even consider").

But people really do want that. Removing it would mean you can't get incoming call alerts (Skype), it would mean VoIP indicators couldn't warn you if you are/arent on a hot mike, it would mean you can't use the Steam in-game overlay, it would mean you could never have FPS counters or software-based screen recorders (like FRAPS), and so on. All of that is useful to one user, and "annoying popup spam shit over my game" to another user.

Microsoft actually tried to block popups over gameplay in UWP and PC gamers rejected it specifically because it prevented popups from Steam / Fraps / Nvidia / AMD from running overtop of games - https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/02/microsoft-needs-to-st...

Windows has to straddle this line of being a somewhat open operating system, while appreciating that 95% of it's userbase will intentionally break their computer and blame it on Microsoft when given the power of an open operating system. If Windows let average folks easily disable updates, for instance, lots of people would do it and then break their computers, or complain about Windows getting "viruses" or getting "hacked". That's not just conjecture, we have over twenty years of computing history where Microsoft tried to trust users to update on their own, with dire consequences. (See WannaCry https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/13/nhs-cyber-attack... where Microsoft fixed the vulnerability before it could be exploited, but users blocked/delayed the security update containing the fix)

This rant also drastically underestimating how much effort goes into making Windows work. Does anyone remember Sony's PS3 + Linux fiasco? Sony literally could not flip a switch and have a Windows PC competitor out the door "tomorrow", the idea alone is ridiculous, and drastically undervalues the work required in operating systems.
