Oh, that explains why there's no market for more than five computers in the world.
It seems that k8s has won the deployment race by and large. I see a lot of success stories around (I'm hearing nice things from the DevOps teams in my organization as well). Yet I'm curious to hear a few cases where things did not pan out quite right.

Note: The 5-15s DNS problem seems a pretty serious one. Weird that it didn't get more publicity (and a proper fix).

Not true that Gibson's prose has a short shelf life. Neuromancer is in my view a timeless masterpiece, and Gibson's most recent book is set in the future.

I come from Poland where girls either choose a) medicine b) pyscology c) fashion related gig like hair dressers, tailor d) modeling (often most pretty girls choose this)

Here in Poland, entry level gigs in technology companies pay way less than modeling gigs these days.

I asked many of those girls who went into modeling and fashion related jobs, they always said, they found it easier and more rewarding than jobs where someome else might steal their credit.
64-bit addressing is much more than enough for many decades to come or even forever!
Instead of averaging, I can recommend my go-to L-estimator for this sort of thing: the midsummary. Take the average of the 40% and 60% percentile as your measure of central tendency of performance.
This has always annoyed the piss out of me. It wouldn't have been Bill's or Microsoft's call to make, in the first place. The hardware memory map is not set by software.

The 640K limitation derives from the 1MB address space of the IBM PC, and as the name implies, IBM did the hardware design. They did it around a particular Intel chip, which had a 1MB address space. IBM could've put in hardware support for bank switching (as some EMS/XMS add-in cards later did), they could've used a chip with more than 20 address lines, they could've done a lot of things.

But they didn't. IBM wasn't designing a mainframe-killer, they were designing a personal computer. It was competing with 16k and 64k 8-bit machines, and the first IBM PCs shipped with 64k and later 128k of RAM. Using the top 384K for peripherals and allocating 640K for programs must've seemed insanely generous at the time. But whoever made that decision, it was on the hardware side, not anyone at Microsoft.
The fact that it was the sentiment at the time is one thing, but it doesn't make attributing a quote to someone who didn't say it right or correct, even if it goes in the way of the general sentiment, even if that someone did agree with said sentiment.
Although some engineers may disagree, this is one of the reasons I believe engineering should NOT be a protected industry/profession. Fine if the title was but not the action of doing it.

I read a story about someone showing flaws in a USA traffic light system and he was subsequently fined for "illegal engineering" which is the most idiotic thing ever.

Going on current USA progression it won't be long before you get 10 years behind bars for "illegal engineering" in some states.

Wasn't even that long ago. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/29/engineer_fined_for_...
I know perfectly fine about this. It has nothing to do with being held hostage. DTAG simply wants to charge more money, which is just business. You can either pay it or not. Hetzner decided that it's not worth it for them, the victim is the customer, because you probably are only able to download with around 5mbps in the evening from a DTAG connection. The upgrade is not possible with their cloud services, so it's a nightmare if you are a DTAG customer.

The same as Level3 charges more than others (even though not as extreme as DTAG) because they think their pipes are premium.
Yeah, it would be preferable if your comments weren't voted down here because of disagreement with the view you express, as long as it's expressed clearly and constructively (which it is).
In ecology, what the author cites as a problem would be seen as a sign of a healthy robust ecosystem.
What do you think is wrong with approaching a woman in a bar? After all, it's not a professional space, and she can always leave (as she did) or say "no thank you". Personally, I don't think there's anything men should change in this situation (as long as they're being respectful and non-annoying). If you went to a gay bar, I imagine the effect would be the same (nothing wrong with that either).

Also, thanks (both of you) for an interesting thread!

Optimizing MiniZinc
I've heard for years now that Ford, VW, GM have so many resources and so much cash that it would be a trivial effort for them to produce a competing product to Tesla's cars. But they haven't. And there is really nothing on the horizon by other automakers that even approaches "competitiveness".

The proof is in the pudding, and the traditional car manufacturers will be left behind if they do not start to take EV's seriously now.

I believe this is more due to lack of enforcement of the GDPR. The dark UX patterns you mention are not technically legal. There a numerous stipulations about how the consent must be freely given, simple and concise, opt-in, withdrawable, etc.

I think an equivalent of the GDPR becoming US law would go a long way to improving the problems of enforceability.
Depends on the company, and a few other details.

Smart companies reward those workers, dumb ones often do not. This naturally pushes some of the smart and self motivated talent towards organizations where they will be rewarded.

The one other exception is personality. The toxic person who works until 3am will rarely if ever get rewarded, because people judge more on the toxicity than anything else.
The performance critical aspects of an app shouldn't need to run on the topmost abstraction layer.

JavaScript should tell the CPU what to do, not how to do it.

Edit: If there are CPU intensive tasks that also need to be customized for a particular app we should perhaps have some way to define those tasks in a way that gives you as developer more control of performance characteristics. I guess this is one of the intentions behind WebAssembly?

Out of interest: I looked up "Hydrostatic equilibrium" and it says "[thing is in equilibrium] when the flow velocity at each point is constant over time". How exactly does that statement relate to what you said?
Towards the end of the 90s I did some work for a startup who'd made an on-demand system for PC/Mac software. The unit was huge and contained a 4 burner/1 printer+robotic arm device, a raid array, two printers (black and white for manual, colour -from solid wax cartridges! - for DVD case insert), an iMac for customer to browse and make selection and a POS touchscreen.

All software was being sold in the big box style at the time so we did a lot of rejigging artwork for DVD case. We had blank CDs with a gold underside so they didn't look like the usual bluey-green home burned ones.

I was curious and decided to map possible escape routes.

He's pretty close to a 4/5/6, an R/W, a J/Z, and maybe a 1 train. That puts him at about 25 minutes from NY Penn, which allows him access to Amtrak or the LIRR.

He's about an hour by public transport from LGA, but that would require a bus. The fastest route to JFK would be 1h11m if he took the A (which isn't all that close) followed by an airtrain. If he chose Newark Airport it'd be something like 25 minutes to NY Penn station + 25 minutes to Newark Penn station and maybe another 10 minutes to Newark Airport via NJ Transit, so about an hour. In other words, from escape to the front door of the airport he's looking at at least an hour of commute, by which point I'd hope someone noticed he's missing.

This all, of course, assumes he takes public transport.
That's been tried. The situation doesn't improve when you stop paying attention to it.

have you thought of doing a crossover study and reducing fees for a portion of a cohort? If your method has results, then you should be able to catch them up, and then you can go to market with real numbers (alternatively, it might hint towards class sizes or other changes you can make to maximise efficiency)
Makes sense, I'm not very informed on justice systems.

What concerns me is, with such a system, when A wins a case against B, we (the vast populace) deduce that A was in the right / B was wrong.

In many cases, if A wins a case, it's just because they lied better than B. It does not prove anything more than that.

I'm always hearing good things about Hetzner and especially the value on their auction servers.

Tried buying one on the auction once, went through a whole rigamarole to confirm my identity, send them ID pics, etc. In the end they decided to cancel the order due to "suspicious activity". I was baffled by that as we hadn't had any conversation besides sending them the order info & credentials. I assumed it was a weird false positive... wonder if I should try again sometime.
> you should hire the best

That is hopelessly naive. Someone has to decide who is "the best", or, at the very least, someone has to decide on the quality metric that will be used to make this assessment. That inevitably leads to politics and gamesmanship.
Nope, overpaying, or having a system too large (requiring large pay), or not requiring users of the system pay are contentious.
The problem with this space is the signal vs. noise ratio which makes very difficult to distill the reality. The fundamentals are that Bitcoin (and other decentralized blockchains) were a breakthrough but if there is no concrete utility / network effect (beyond speculation) it will not work or be reduced to a very limited set of use cases. Regulations is or will be an important issue if KYC/AML/accredited-investor regulations are enforced (for exchanges supporting fiat money) almost everywhere because at the end a centralized or federated service can have the same user experience features.

I think in the worst case these blockchains could end like Torrent, a super interesting protocol that never caught up and services like Spotify reduced ther impact even more.

The only reason why both of our statements are true is because "fast enough" or "not fast enough" is a personal opinion.

I believe in the benefits of technology.

The reason for current misery is not only lack of knowledge (scientific) and technology (e.g. in psychology and psychiatry) but also lack of knowledge (economic) and bad morality as proven by the kind of societies and elected governments in 2018.

This would only work for automatic opt-in. why would companies, that monetize your privacy stop bugging you unless you close that pop-up manually? I imagine there are a lot of people that use their browser with default settings, so there is a chance they don’t actually care about privacy
Git doesn't store diffs, it stores whole files.
nor does it mean it was even bill gates' sentiment.
I can’t agree more. The popups are insanely stupid, frustrating, and a usability and design disaster. I would adamantly oppose any US regulation that could lead to something similar here.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg of the problems with GDPR. Watch as the enforcement side becomes selectively weaponized as a political tool against unpopular sites and the other shoe will have dropped.

GDPR is a regulatory bandaid to a technical problem. That geeks are calling for more regulation to fix their own failings to design privacy resilient network protocols and decentralized software which truly and actually puts users in control of their own data, is shameful.

It’s a common trope that users don’t care enough to seek out and use privacy enhancing and protecting solutions. I think that’s a load of crap. The current solutions are alpha quality and are not ready for general use. But the technology will improve and I am convinced they will destroy the competition when they get there.

I didn't down-vote you, but a few refutations: (1) shitty well-paying jobs are a fact of life, men often have to (and do) deal with that (e.g. oil rigs, finance, doctors, soldiers). STEM isn't even that well paid (compared to medicine or law) (being a soldier is shitty pay also AFAIK). If you're bent on solving this problem for women only, that's pretty sexist; or is this just the specific instance of this problem where you see most potential upside (unlikely IMO). (2) We're talking about jobs, not policy here. Also, the market adapts - you would just use a different product, a different law office! Are you worried about our tech being "too Asian" because of their over-representation?

ML family languages are already the "polyvalent languages" you describe and have been a better choice than C for at least 20 years now. If your goal is seeing adoption of such a language, your time would be better spent fixing the things that lead you to dismiss Haskell and Scala - any new language would certainly be even more of a "niche language" than they are.

It's not about what's fair it's about you could reasonably expect to get, you don't have a contract but if you have some documentation etc. you might be able to get them to give you that 7.5 - probably less than that though. Should probably consult a lawyer.

I don't really know about the freelance while traveling route, I freelance and do reasonably well at it, my experience in my part of the world is that there are consultant companies the big companies will hook up with and accept freelancers through them. The consultant companies markup your rate by about 30-50%, so if you could conceivably get a gig without using one of these companies then you can increase your fee.

So maybe you can find out who the consulting companies are in areas you want to travel to - for example if you look at https://rightpeoplegroup.com/open-assignments/ you can see how typical external consultant gigs are structured. There are other similar companies, Hays for example, in my area of the world it is companies like Cybercom, Prodata etc.

Based on my experience, if you have CTO on your CV and managed some other developers it improves your value a bit.

How much you should charge - figure out what the wage is for a developer in your area, in my experience you should make at least double that (but my experience may be wrong for some parts of the world) - after all you don't get a lot of the perks a normal employee gets, the benefit of course is if you have a decent accountant (or can do it yourself) and incorporate a lot of your expenses are tax deductible.
