Since you're spamming this everywhere, I'll repeat _my_ concerns.

1) Some of us no longer trust the company not to bait-and-switch again. 2) It's almost guaranteed that at least future useful developments will happen under the proprietary and consulting-encumbered license.

I'll admit the company has every right to execute on #2 - t is 100% without doubt going to have me reconsidering our use of redis here, and keeping a very close eye on what Amazon and Google (and others) do in response to this, as I decide what alternative to the consulting-encumbered software we might use going forward.
MIPS?

------------------

Addendum addressing your updates:

> MIPS does have a status register, and this register does have an overflow bit:

Yes, it does, but it doesn't function as a simple carry or zero bitfield. In MIPS, there are two instructions for performing addition: add and addu. add generates a trap which you can respond to in an exception handler (which is where you check for this exception code)–as opposed to addu, which overflows silently. Most programs explicitly looking to check for overflow just use addu followed by a sltu (set less than, unsigned).
That’s a solution of last resort, when all else has failed, an act of desperation: whosoever does that is saying: “I don’t know how to express this in a generic fashion”, or “it’s too much work to do it that way and I don’t want to deal with it”. Since the very reason we get paid as programmers is to deal with it, I argue that such an act constitutes a breach of grounds on which we are being paid.
On the proton github repo there are instructions for building for Mac and moltenvk libraries. It’s probably not as mature as the Linux version but there are bits hinting here and there. Link: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton
A unit is a UK public health thing. One unit is 10 ml of alcohol. For some time the safe drinking advice was 14 units a week for women, 21 units a week for men, with some days drink free and no saving up of the units for the weekend. You'll still see these limits on some shelf labels and on the back of some bottles, but they are out of date. The newer limits are 14 units per week for men and women.

Drinks in the UK come with an Alcohol by Volume number, as a percentage, printed on the bottle. To find the units in the drink you multiply the serving size in liters by the ABV.

People think a glass of wine is one unit. That was true a long time ago when serving sizes were smaller and wine was weaker.

A small glass of wine (125 ml) at 8% ABV = 1 unit.

A normal glass of wine (175 ml) at 12% ABV = 2 units.

A bottle of wine (750 ml) at 12% = 9 units.

A bottle of beer (330 ml) at 5% is 1.6 units

A pint of beer at 5% is roughly 2.5 units

A pub measure of spirits is 1 unit.

A bottle (1 l) at 37% is 37 units.

I think I can live with devs targeting Wine on Linux instead of Linux directly, it saves them a lot of resources since most will be invested into Windows support.

And yes, maybe it means we get less Linux native, I don't mind either. If it works on Linux and is supported on Linux, even if it's just via Wine, that's all I want.

Is there a reason that map tiles have to be accessed real time over the Internet and can't be update for eg. daily and kept on a local hard drive? Is it too large? For a fire department it could be only the area that they operate in.

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I have a feeling it's because the primary demographic of music listener is getting younger and younger. With streaming platforms like Spotify and Youtube, I imagine that teenagers and even young children have a huge sway over what the music industry produces and represent an increasing fraction of their revenue. Not to mention businesses are likely using music more than ever (it plays over the speakers on planes when boarding and de-planing, in stores, restaurants, gyms, etc.) and they all try really really hard to avoid something that is offensive, which usually means lowest common denominator, plain vanilla garbage. That being said, I really wonder about their database. They are certainly including more than just pop using that many pieces of music.

I pretty much disagree with any premise that music is getting worse, in general. Pop music, maybe, but the sheer quantity and variety of amazing work out there can't be understated. I've found so many life changing works of music that have been produced after 2000 and continue finding them all the time. Anyone saying music is getting worse either isn't looking in the right place, or is stuck in their ways.
Partly agree.

The comment is still generally great, except that it portrays redis labs as whiners while it looks like redis labs has put in some real effort to coniue to be as open source as possible towards the rest of the world while still trying to get some funding from the people who can afford it.

Right now, whats not to like about this for everyone of us?

That said: the parts of redis that this applies to is not open source anymore (as they admit) and I am afraid that a lot of other companies will try to abuse this to confuse users of their software.

Actually it seems that Redis Labs wouldn't be able to trademark "Redis" in this sense (at least without Antirez's permission) as they themselves are making money on a fork of Redis called "Redis^e" or something like that. Granted Antirez works for them now -- but this is downright confusing.
I wouldn't really consider stack to be a great tool. There is Stackage which may be useful but the tool itself falls apart quickly when used to compile more than a single package executable.

>It also echoes my (baseless) assumption that the main reason that we have this idea that music a few decades ago or more was somehow "better" is that anything that wasn't at least above average is completely forgotten by now i.e. survivorship bias.

Where does the idea that music output is equally good in all ages comes from?

The fine art world, and the literary world know very well from historical experience of centuries that there are periods of huge masterpieces and lots of great creators, and periods of drought. Heck, the classical music world knows that too.

Why would this not hold in the pop music world?

Music is another activity that is historically influenced by period, trends, culture, etc, and all of these have their ups and downs.

>I don’t know about the economics of recording back in 1960 but I can say with confidence that even the absolute best equipment found in the top studios would be technically inferior to today’s $2,000 electronics.

While this might be true for recording media (e.g. a DAW with high end SnR vs 4-track tape overdubbed to death), we still use e.g. the same microphones as back then, and they're still expensive. Ditto for all kinds of analogue musical instruments (guitars, pianos, etc).

I have a copy of Tufte's "Beautiful Evidence" at work. It's a survey of different methods of conveying information, with pros and cons. I occasionally just page through it while contemplating some UI widget or another, and actually wrote a rather nice CLI tool for displaying some sensor data (histograms, auto-ranged, FTW!) based on some of his ideas.

The book not only goes back through various historical treatises like the rise and fall of Napoleon, but also discusses newer ideas like "sparklines," and even addresses why bullet points and font sizes contributed to the space shuttle Columbia disaster.

It's definitely worth checking out Tufte's site [1], if you're into this sort of thing. He's even got a series of small treatments on completely random topics in the "Notebooks" section.

>git is a good example. It's GPLv2

Is it a good example? I'm not very firm with licensing. As far as I understand it git is not a library or a programming language, which means that even if you use it commercially you're not really modifying or repackaging it in your software, so there's really no duties arising out of it even if you use it on your servers. Your software is just communicating with git.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

LTE bandwidth varies between 5 and 40 MHz. Those are the chunks in which it's allocated in the radio spectrum.

You actually mean data rate.

All this arguing about the definition of one word whilst another is being casually misused is rather ironic.

1. LTE bandwidth: limited by regulating authorities and the size of bandwidth chunks for which telcos bid

2. LTE data rate: limited by (1) , physics and our current technology

3. LTE data usage: limited by (2) and any contractual terms
>The whole idea of bullshit jobs is based on people's own assessment of their work? You should really ask the people paying their salary whether the job is useful or not since they are the ones paying for it.

The ones paying the salary also get the profits. The question is not if these jobs make money for someone, but if they contribute anything to the society and/or if they have meaning.

>Graeber's theory of what jobs are BS doesn't really work. For instance, say a surgeon decides 'hey, y'know people are going to die anyway, my work is useless' then according to Graeber's definition their work is BS while most people would say it is useful work

Only actual surgeons don't say that (in any statistically significant number), and people don't think that superficially about their jobs (again, in any statistically significant number).

carrot fiber,
white vinegar,
spices,
garlic extract,
salt,
onion extract,
evaporated cane juice,
dipotassium phosphate,
titanium dioxide (for color),

>But isn't there also the possibility that the majority of people would just feed their pleasure side all day long? Without any constraints, maybe we would just consume, have fun and go to the beach all day long?

And why not? Is there some ethical imperative that says you should not "have fun and go to the beach all day long", if you have what you need to go by?

I'd extend Pascal's praise of idleness: ""All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room." -- to including "go to the beach" and such along with sitting still in a room.

The point (and I think Pascal's point) is not doing nothing, but in being able to be content without having to create schemes and busywork when there's no need for any, but instead find satisfaction to being itself.

To fuse some snippets from Fortune and the New York Times:

"Cisco has agreed to buy Duo Security, a 700-person strong cybersecurity startup based in Ann Arbor, Mich., for $2.35 billion in a combination of cash and stock." [1]

"Duo was last privately valued at $1.17 billion after a $70 million financing round in October. Cisco participated as an investor in that round." [1]

"Cisco has a long history of buying security startups. Some of its acquisitions in recent years include Sourcefire, an intrusion detection tech firm (2013); Threatgrid, a malware analyzing firm (2014); OpenDNS, a domain name service provider (2015) and Lancope, a network monitor (2015)." [1]

"Duo’s technology allows companies to provide employees or customers with remote access. Its software verifies the identity of users, scans their device for security weaknesses and then lets them connect, a kind of supercharged username-and-password. Cisco said it would integrate Duo’s technology across its network, device and cloud platforms." [2]

"The acquisition is part of a trend in which cloud providers and cybersecurity companies are trying to bolster the services they offer." [2]

"But Cisco has hardly been the only buyer. In the past 12 months, Oracle acquired Zenedge, Amazon purchased Sqrrl, VMWare struck a deal for CloudCoreo, McAfee bought Skyhigh, and Symantec acquired Skycure." [2]

"The pace of such deals — particularly in identity management, like Duo — should only pick up over the coming years as companies try to strengthen their defenses against cyberthreats, Mr. Ives said." [2]

[1] http://fortune.com/2018/08/02/cisco-buys-duo-security/

[2] https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/03/business/dealbook/cisco-d...

For a more pointed perspective:

"But the worry here is that Cisco is going to murder the golden goose—and, as a former Cisco customer, I’m struggling to feel anything but dread about all the ways in which this acquisition might kill everything that’s good about Duo." [3]

"In my opinion—which is informed by my own anecdotal experience—Cisco belongs on the same shelf as Oracle when it comes to businesses that exhibit a profit-above-all-else mindset. From my point of view as an enterprise customer, Cisco consistently came across as unswervingly committed to maximum revenue extraction at every single point in its relationship with a customer. The company’s per-feature licensing was (and remains) so expensive and so complex that the whole product portfolio seemed designed around creatively separating customers from their capital first and actual network/SAN administration a distant second."

I believe this is a problem limited to North America.

> non-GMO soy protein isolate
> pea protein isolate

I understand that these come from natural products, but when was the last time you added 'pea protein isolate' to a salad? You haven't - you added some peas, which contain some protein, but also contain fiber, vitamins and a bunch of other things I don't know enough about. This was kind of my point, we're putting natural products in, but using them in ways that we've not used before.

At least in the UK, IMHO we'd be better off teaching people to cook properly, rather than buying ready meals, improving the standard of take aways and ensuring that food complies with a reasonable minimum standard of ethics and environmental impact.
