Given the many ASP.NET software packages that handle all the backoffice functions you've described, it sounds like they chose the right platform for that.

Why would you want to run backoffice on Linux and then re-create all those wheels by hand in-house? Relying on the expertise of other companies for basic backoffice systems is actually recommended practice until you become big enough to actually need custom software (generally, north ten thousand employees).
I'm amazed that anyone would think that. I've worked on all sorts of embedded systems and worked with a many more people who've worked on far more than I, and RT Linux was very common and suitable for these sorts of things 10-15 years ago, never mind now.
We basically expect deep neural networks to acquire language without a body that it can use to interact with an environment. I believe you cannot separate language from the body or the environment. A corpus of text is simply not holistic enough to capture the meaning behind the symbols.
From serious ones I liked "Permutation City" by Greg Egan. It was also very abstract at times, but it focused on one kind of abstraction, and one that I liked.

Anathem by Neal Stephenson was nice, too, I loved the worldbuilding with construction of whole independent history of science and philosophy on a fantasy world, and how people used it in their lives.

Algebraist by Ian Banks is interesting (not in the Culture series, Culture books are ok too, but there's no tension in these books whatsoever).

I love Lem, especially the robot stories, but also Futorological Congress, Solaris, His Masters' Voice. IMHO Lem has the best aliens in all sci-fi. Maybe Blindsight by Peter Watts comes close.

I also like Jacek Dukaj who I belive wasn't translated to English. But now that I think he tends to do the same thing as in 3rd book of 3 body problem - a book starts with regular people and easily relatable stuff, and by the end it's all so abstract and weird you don't know what's going on. It kinda puts me off, I prefer constant level of abstraction all the way through.
You are correct, I was misreading the graphs - I'll have to rethink things!
Certainly on the business side, but I can't imagine the consumer side is much different, the whole thing is backed by SharePoint. That is what causes the file type issues. Dropbox and co. have built actual real backends for their products rather than trying to cram the feature set into another product.
I'm speculating that he does know. But with all the filters you added (right hardware, right patches etc.) you would be better off to add the right patch -Linux/+<real_realtimekernel>

Besides, if you follow Linux kernel development, you see that the effort is virtually never for real-time but for general purpose.
I think you're taking it too literally. Let's say you are 60 years old, in perfectly good mental health, and are diagnosed with a terminal illness and will not live longer than a few months.

I rarely do this exercise, but it has been helpful at times. It's a lot simpler to do if you're older (late 30's or higher). You can look back at your pursuits over the last few decades and can actually see things like "Oh, I've been learning new programming languages for so many years now. How useful has it been?" If I extrapolate for another decade or two, will I be happy at age 50 or 60 with the outcome if I continue with these activities?

I have many more pursuits than I can do in this life. When you're younger, you usually don't limit your options because you feel you have a lot of time. When you're 40, you can easily say "I've been doing this for 20 years. If I don't change/prioritize, I'll soon be at 60. Is this stuff worth doing at the expense of other pursuits?"

This year I ticked off two bucket items. I had been putting them off for too long. IMO, it is worth thinking that way.
The part that looks bad is not the approach to disclosure. It's the part where Amazon is responding to well-sourced reports of inadequate working conditions by coercing counter-anecdata from other staff, rather than denying or refuting the reports.

Right. Like most laws, it will end up being used against ordinary citizens who obey the law 99.9% of the time, to squeeze them for the 0.1% of the time they broke the law either by mistake, or in the same ways that MOST people are breaking the law but nobody cares because law enforcement hasn't singled them out for special treatment.
Even without the pickle-related vulnerability, exposing your secret key that is securing cookies seems pretty bad and likely to lead to other vulnerabilities, although they'd take longer to find.

And if the secret key were secure, the pickle use would not be vulnerable.

Still, multiple layers of security, yadda yadda, sure.

But this is beyond the pickle issue. I'm not sure I'm completely convinced you should not use pickle for browser cookies that are appropriately cryptographically verified. (although fwiw I believe Rails changed it's default cookie serialization to use json instead of the ruby equivalent to pickle which suffered from the same issues).

My wife convinced me to do one of those this year actually - not 23andme, maybe ancestry.com? It's the one where you spit in a tube and mail it in. The results came back 98% Caucasian, northern Europe, and a lot of other stuff that looked like they just randomly made it up to make me feel like they really did something.

GP is talking about The Bad Guys. Point being: if you're a Bad Guy, you're gonna encrypt your data. It's easy, and obvious. The likelihood of catching any Bad Guys with this is, therefore, very slim. Far outweighed by the price paid by the Good Guys, who don't go through that rigmarole, and just get their privacy violated.

That's the argument, in essence (which I mostly agree with, the childish tone notwithstanding).
I think your idea for reducing the birth rate in the US even further is poorly considered. As for immigrants, I'm certain that their children end up with the same decreased rate of childbirth thanks to economic pressure.

Optimization for GDP growth results in an increased global population. If you want a more sustainable human footprint on the world as a whole, what you want to pursue is _global_ negative GDP growth. If you want to see a decreased US ecological footprint you should be against immigration.
Aside from medicine, technology in general is arguably already "good enough" for most people.

I never said that the benefit should be available to upper-middle class moms. It's easy enough to phase out the benefit based on income.

In fact, I gave the example of upper middle class people already having this kind of privilege (attending college paid for by their spouse).

Not OP, but to answer you myself from the article:

Tweet: Hello! Amazon does pay their employees minimum wage - any less would be illegal One thing that often gets overlooked are the employee benefits that Amazon provides for all employees - Health insurance, 401K, career/financial counseling.

Amazon pays minimum wage is a factual statement. Minimum wage is not a good wage for the job but its still factual. You either offer them health insurance, 401K, counseling or you dont. I would say that's also a factual statement. Whether or not you agree with it is your decision but actually having transparent facts is refreshing these days.
Coffee and Your Health
I've been interested for a long time in an AI assistant but bringing one of big tech's spying devices into my home has always been a total non starter. So for me personally, Snips is an extremely promising project. The team is very responsive in their Telegram as well (https://t.me/snipsair).
The big issue with GraphQL that I see is maintaining the API contracts over time. The GraphQL queries are defined and stored somewhere in your JS frontend code, iOS or Android App Code. If the backend team refactors the API because some requirements changed, there is no way the backend team can easily verify that the GraphQL queries still run successfully.

Whereas when using a REST API approach, all the Endpoints are within the backend domain. If some properties of your DAO change or get dropped, the DTO<->DAO mapping in the backend will likely break during compile time and the backend team would know that their change affects the contracts implemented by the clients. With GraphQL, such changes would go unnoticed until the frontend dev teams test against new API versions.

While you could use stored GraphQL queries to overcome this, I don't see the benefit here. You backend devs would need to be able to "speak" (learn) GraphQL (maintain the unit tests etc.), whereas in a REST world your frontend devs would need to learn REST.
Used to buy lots of things from Amazon. About couple of years ago, shifted to buying things from Costco and it's been a great experience. Everything I get is authentic, they only sell the best products and heard they treat their employees nicely. I stopped doing hours of review research to find out if the products are legit and if reviews were not fabricated.
I doubt it. They’d likely win in court as the laws applicable at the border are not the same as the rights you have being stopped on the street.

Now if the trial itself leads to public outcry to change those rules that’d be great but as it stands now I think she’d lose.
Im glad she resisted this seizure of her personal property. But what about all the data that phone transmits over the internet which can be / is collected by most every intelligence agency, without a warrant?

As antagonistic as this Stimulus site seems to be towards React, it can be used similarly and you can tell it was built that way by Facebook who used it to replace a lot of bespoke jQuery slowly over time rather than write everything from scratch from day one. Contrary to some opinions, it's more than possible to have React handle only a small portion of a site incrementally, React itself isn't really a "SPA framework" out of the box. (It's the ecosystem of tools like react-router that make it a SPA.)

There are indeed many different ways to solve these problems. My biggest criticism with the Stimulus documentation here is that it feels so disparaging of other people's solutions.

Python Pickle RCE is hardly even a bug - because it is meant to deserialize objects (including functions!) for a language that is almost completely dynamic. Indeed, "discovering" that your unpickling is vulnerable to remote code execution is not too far from discovering RCE in a plan to compress data to the Kolmogorov limit by allowing users to send you arbitrary x86 binaries.

My point wasn’t to turn Snapchat into an adult entertainment site. It was simply to accept and embrace its fate as a sexting tool. Dating apps are also used for this purpose (frankly their whole purpose is to find people you’d eventually fuck with) and yet they are a socially acceptable thing to use and advertisers don’t have any problems with them, so I don’t see why it would be any different for Snapchat.

> If you can't have an open, honest and educated discussion

You can't have such a discussion if there's a policeman (literal or figurative) standing over your shoulder waiting to drag you off to jail (literal or figurative) over any transgression - and anything that people who pay the policeman don't like is deemed to be the transgression.

And what we have in Europe now is that people get fined and jailed for retweets and facebook shares. And it's not even the Nazi stuff anymore, it's "culturally insensitive" stuff - i.e. posting something somebody from thousands of identity groups might not like (even if none of them complained). One person got in trouble for literally posting a song by an American rapper (which used some spicy language with racial slurs, as some rappers commonly do). And then it goes to people being fired and persecuted for merely mentioning certain words - even in context of condemning use of the same word! Just for mere mention you can get fired. Maybe in 5 years you'd get 5 years in jail for that. All in the name of fighting fascism, of course.
Google and Apple and Microsoft and Facebook and Amazon are each American companies who do business in Europe. I, as European, get very little out of that though because they dodge taxes.
I wonder if the inverse correlation between type 2 diabetes and coffee is because coffee drinkers generally consume fewer sweets and have less of a sweet tooth?
I'm only speaking to Android but unfortunately many Android apps don't implement cloud backup; if you wipe the app you lose your information or progress. From memory everything from Google's 2FA app authenticator to popular games like Bloons don't do off-device saves at all or automatically. So it's not quite as easy as "just wipe your device and restore a backup." At a minimum you need to root your phone and install a third party backup app like Titanium backup.
Food stamps are not intended as a subsidy for private industry to take advantage of so they can underpay their workers. Yet a casual observation of these conglomerates actions and policies clearly shows this is their strategy.
Etlworks Integrator: cloud data integration
I have used fp16 buffers frequently on NVIDIA GPUs with OpenGL in generations ranging from GTX 760 (GK104) to Titan X (GM200 and GP102) as well as mobile GPUs like GT 730M (GK208M). I do this for things like ray-casting volume rendering, where the dynamic range, precision, and space tradeoffs are very important.

My custom shaders performing texture-mapping and blending are implicitly performing the same underlying half-load and half-store operations to work with these stored formats. The OpenGL shader model is that you are working in normalized fp math and the storage format is hidden, controlled independently with format flags during buffer allocation, so the format conversions are implicit during the loads and stores on the buffers. The shaders on fp16 data perform very well and this is non-sequential access patterns where individual 3 or 4-wide vectors are being loaded and stored for individual multi-channel voxels and pixels.

If I remember correctly, I only found one bad case where the OpenGL stack seemed to fail to do this well, and it was something like a 2-channel fp16 buffer where performance would fall off a cliff. Using 1, 3, or 4-channel buffers (even with padding) would perform pretty consistently with either uint8, uint16, fp16, or fp32 storage formats. It's possible they just don't have a properly tuned 2-channel texture sampling routine in their driver, and I've never had a need to explore 2-wide vector access in OpenCL.
It is a short term injection of value into stocks. This clearly can be abused. That money which could have been used to invest in, oh say hiring more Americans or paying employees better wages, or infrastructure, or anything with long-term value generation is rather diverted and put into stocks, which is a short term appreciation. The vast majority of stock is owned by the the very wealthy and many people at the bottom have next to zero or zero stock ownership. This obviously is a threat to a balanced society and the reduction of inequality. If a company wants to increase its stock value, why not invest the money it has into long-term growth investments rather than driving up the stocks?

The decision to perform stock buy-backs could be an indication of the general pessimism that corporations have about the economy. If consumer debt is at an all time hight, how can we find more people to buy the products we are making? We tried giving people more debt than they could handle (mortgages) and that ended in spectacular disaster in 2008. So maybe the only thing corporations can do to increase value is to rely on buying back stocks! Makes a lot of money for some people..

>Living a fulfilling life is about minimizing regrets.

While I very much agree with your advice on thinking of how you'll feel on your deathbed, I would be careful in your phrasing. People often make poor decisions about the future because they are overly concerned with whether they will regret a decision or not. You will find many who believe that focusing on regret will get in the way of life satisfaction, and it is a perspective worth considering.

For me, it makes sense to make some achievable goals (relationship, career, hobbies/activities, etc). Then start paring and prioritizing. Without the latter, I will always have more things I would like to achieve than is possible, and will always have regrets - it's rather pointless.

I am a 27 year-old woman and I am getting to the point where I will have to choose between my career (in tech, all-male team) and having a child.

My partner and I both want children. We are not yet married and we do not yet have a house. Despite this, I really can't wait too much longer to get pregnant, or else risk fertility issues. And yet, the moment I get pregnant, my job is at risk (even though legally it shouldn't be)

Men really have no idea what it is like to have this struggle. I am both afraid for the career I will undoubtedly lose or the child I might struggle to conceive if I wait much longer. :(

There's a difference between an Amazon employee expressing their own opinion and an Amazon employee being explicitly paid to praise their employer, though.
