This is just not true.

The Internet is full of stories of people having trouble with large email providers (notably Google and Microsoft) accepting self-hosted users' mail. A self-hosted setup's IP starts with 0 reputation (or worse, depending on who owned the IP address beforehand) and will face throttling and outright blocking for a painful amount of time.

Furthermore, if you forward your email to e.g. a Gmail inbox, any spam sent to your address will go towards lowering the reputation of your forwarder, meaning that someone just has to send you a lot of spam to get your forwarder blocked from Google servers.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC and TLS all cannot mitigate the above.
It gets worse. I remember I had a friend that had a piece of spyware that set his default search engine to something else. At first glance I didn't realize it was a piece of spyware because all his searches looked like normal searches, albeit on a generic looking page.

I wondered why he didn't switch to Google or something else at the time and it used to annoy me whenever I was using his desktop for anything. Then I took a look into it and found out that he actually couldn't set his default search engine through his browser anymore, in Firefox or Chrome actually.

It was a browser extension. For that entire time there was a piece of spyware on his computer probably watching all of his browsing that he probably could have figured out about himself, if he wasn't too lazy to just switch his search engine. Once I looked into it, it took all of five minutes (if that) to figure out what was happening and remove the problem, and he's not exactly tech illiterate. He literally just didn't care or want to take the time to switch his search engine.

That's a data point. Just one, anecdotal data point, but take it how you will.

If you are building pops and moms website that only your grandma going to visit then sure there ain't nothing better than DigitalOcean. But they are bunch of amateurs and don't even offer customer support over the phone. So much for reducing your cost over 80% if your droplets are frozen, out of net, and there is not even a number to call.

They also have hard limits of number of instances you can spin. I think 12 is the max at the moment. That's a joke :) not to mention their Xeons are from 2011. Look into something like OVH if you are looking at quality, reliability, top notch customer support and reasonable TOS. If you want to host your grandpa site, then go with DO.

A few months ago I was in a pub in Cupertino (Duke of Edinburgh) and was astounded by how quiet it was. All you could hear was a murmur of conversation from nearby people. No loud music playing, no yelling or shouting. It was an incredibly pleasant experience and made me realize how miserable most pubs and restaurants are in comparison.

Maybe I just got lucky that particular evening, but it really stuck in my memory as a good experience.
Not necessarily; Amiga can play four channels of 8-bit sample output of arbitrary length, limited only by the available CHIP RAM, at 22 KHz (or thereabouts).

A chip tune is generated by a specialized sound chip, like the MOS 6581 which can normally not play sampled output, although that barrier has been broken in the last few years by tweaking the sound volume at high rates.

Ironically enough, the "chip tune" nomenclature comes from the Amiga where very short sampled sounds which played would generate chirps and blirps akin to the Yamaha and SID chips, but for reasons other than one might think: chip tunes were at first made out of necessity, because the overall intro in front of the crack had to be small since there usually wasn't much space on the cracked game's disk.

But all Amigas can play stereo digitised samples in a 2 + 2 channel configuration.
You would also need the tool chain if you're not on the same platform as built it originally, unless I just skimmed over it outputting multiple binaries and selecting them by local system type. Otherwise I clone a project on my Mac and it tries to run the binaries at the last developer built on her Raspberry Pi.
+1; the open plan office in which I work has something like that (only less... symmetrical?) hanging from the ceiling. it helps, compared to other open spaces I've been in, and you can still see the ductwork, power and ethernet. They also have those compressed cotton acoustical panels on the wall behind a lattice of 2x4s, and some kind of grey insulating spray that covers the actual ceiling and I beams.

I mean, it's still worse than a cube farm under a conventional acoustical tiled ceiling, but it is a hell of a lot better than nothing, and conforms to the visual standards of the day, (or at least i think it does; It was built out very recently.)
I'm split on this. I think that the standard that you have to prove that it's totally ubiquitous across all member states is ludicrous, but at the same time I think it's insane that you can trademark a shape.

Apparently not serious enough to have people suffering from said "impact" from leaving.

It is also good to ask why Google could not succeed at social media. Perhaps network effects and an equally agile competitor were a big enough moat for Facebook to fight off Google successfully.

To say that abuse of monopoly is what has enabled Google to grow big is too simplistic. They have succeeded brilliantly in areas where they had equally big competitors, and failed spectacularly as well in others - social media being the most prominent. But more tech focused readers will recall Wave, or NaCl. Then are cases where we have a stalemate for example G Suite, where Microsoft still holds it own with Office.

Google Cloud is a strange case where one can argue that Google has failed to leverage many of its own innovations in containers and other data center infrastructure to achieve a dominant position. I would argue this is a case where Google should have been a market leader and much like Microsoft in the 2000's has frittered away a natural advantage.

> The idea that "package management" is one of those areas that absolutely must be exactly solved to generate acceptable results seems to me to be ... probably wrong.

The logical conclusion of your statement is that minimal version selection is the wrong approach! Minimal version selection is an "exact" solution, in contrast to the traditional one. You would only arrive at MVS if you considered the problem of selecting precise dependencies to be so important that it's worth making it the user's problem instead of having the tool solve it. The philosophy of the traditional package management solution is that it's best to have the tool do the right thing--select most recent versions that satisfy constraints--so that the user is free to worry about more important things.

> There are much more critical and harder things we've been approximating for years and everyone is just fine with it.

Yes! That's why MVS, and by extension vgo, is oriented around solving a non-problem!

> It's also a very complex one that often fails in interesting ways in both this, and other, domains.

What we need next is a widely adopted standard of end-to-end opportunistic encryption, similar to Signal. PKI and PGP are too complex for end users.

The problem that prevents such a standard from ever taking off is that, unlike TLS, there is zero interest from major providers to push end-to-end encyption, because they absolutely need access to the plain text for commercial reasons. So they advertise STARTTLS as "email encryption". By that token, CDMA and GSM are "email encryption" as well, it's not like they push the plain text naked over radio.

> No one has ever reconciled that with how the black hole is supposed to form in the first place.

Incorrect. The first scientific paper that showed how to reconcile these things was by Oppenheimer and Snyder, published in 1939. In the late 1950s through the 1970s, this subject was studied in detail in the idealized cases where exact analytical solutions exist. Since the 1980s, numerical simulations have confirmed that the key properties of those solutions remain in much more realistic cases. If you read some actual textbooks or peer-reviewed papers on GR, instead of pop science magazines and web forums, you would know all this.

Oh, wait--you did link to a peer-reviewed paper by Penrose. Have you looked at Fig. 2 of that paper and its accompanying text? It describes exactly the reconciliation that you claim doesn't exist (the model being described is basically the 1939 Oppenheimer-Snyder model in coordinates that make things easier to see than the ones O&S used).
Who knew? It's one thing to admire your boss and quite another to "game" them for that is what "kissing up is all about."

Writing lends persistence and faithfulness to the original.

Oral traditions tend to be divergent and mutable.

Even such changes as the introduction of the printing press, and cheap paper, had profound impacts:

• Copies were now letter-for-letter identical.

• Reproduction costs fell by 2-6 orders of magnitude.

• Translation to the vernacular became viable. It was cheaper to bring the book to the reader (translation) than the reader to the book (learning Latin, Greek, French, German, Italian, etc.).

• Literacy grew -- from 5-10% in 1500 or so to 95%+ by 1900.

Of course, the number of published works grew, as did the literary canon, to the point it's a largely meaningless term (or has been subsumed by pop culture).

I wish. It's rampant on Android, too; of my recently updated apps right now, about half of them have release notes on the order of "bug fixes and performance enhancements". Even Google does it on their big-name apps!

The ideal was always to have another PC guy scenario to play off of. You want tons of shitty Android phones out there in the market to compete against. Let them have the worthless bottom ~50% of the market financially, where there's zero profit to be had and lots of mediocre consumer experiences.

With the EU fining Google 5 Billion dollars for essentially bundling search to google play in order to make some money off of all the money Google spent on android, the EU has shown that the Apple model is the only real way to go.

IOS is way more restrictive than android and they can get away with it because they only make expensive devices that only a subset of people can pay for thus isolating themselves from antitrust arguments.

No it isn't; Amiga is a personal computer, very much so.

We didn't call the Amiga a PC back in the day because of IBM PC XT and PC AT computers, but nowadays when people don't even know anything other than a Windows and a MacOS based computer, it's a different story. Now it can be said that it's a personal computer, because that's what it is, just with an architecture superior to IBM PC clones.

The only benefits are that open offices “appear” to save the company money. Since the cost of private offices is only a couple percent of an engineers salary, and the increase in productivity is far more, private offices are significantly cheaper. And better for collaboration.
Those are blades, and they exist within the cloud family. I also think they look attractive, but we've gotten a lot of pushback from architects when we've tried to recommend them, excuses have included interference with lighting and sprinkler systems (I'm not an architect so I don't know how valid those concerns really are) and cost.

As with most anything, it's probably easier to incorporate them into a new design from the start then to fit them into an existing space that wasn't designed to accommodate them.

The English etymology is more indirect, but essentially means the same thing, by way of Latin and Greek:

c. 1600, from French syntaxe (16c.) and directly from Late Latin syntaxis, from Greek syntaxis "a putting together or in order, arrangement, a grammatical construction," from stem of syntassein "put in order," from syn- "together" (see syn-) + tassein "arrange" (see tactics).

Russian and French 19c literature are the two obvious counter-examples. I admire the attempt to reframe the question in terms that allow you to claim English is pre-eminent though.

That's sort of what I was talking about, but I was getting down-voted for not explaining myself. It seems redundant to keep a changelog with its own state when writing good, user-readable version-change commit messages is something you already do. Using git-rebase could help you work in a version-change specific commit meant for users.

To clarify, not all of your commits need to be user-readable, since the majority of them are meant for developers -- just the sparse ones that capture the version change need to be user-readable.

Then you'd have a full commit history for the nitty gritty details and a subset of your commits would be used to generate a pretty changelog.md for everyone who wants the TLDR.
Bad predictions go in both directions. In 2000, Intel was saying that within five to ten years CPUs would run at 10 GHz and be made with EUV lithography. 18 years later and 10 GHz never came close to happening. EUV didn't happen either, though we may finally be close.

> Youtube loading faster on Chrome due to Google going ahead with their own suggested implementation without consensus

Are they blocking other browsers from utilizing said efficient tool because claiming that they are purposefully slowing other browsers is disingenuous as they are almost certainly just optimizing efficiency between their various products (chrome and youtube).

Blaming google for optimizing their systems without supporting every other possible system under the sun is beyond ridicules. Nobody has the engineering capacity to perfectly optimize their services for every use case.
