It's a quote I read in German translated here via DeepL with slight changes. Seems like it is part of this work from 1851:

I think it’s a great idea, but maybe not for Twitter.
Yes, it's very much Python only at the moment, although the concept can be applied to other languages
Isao Tomita's debut analog synthesizer renditions of Debussy, Snowflakes are Dancing, is one of my all time favorite recordings. Debussy translates very well into electronic forms.

The problem is that QUIC, due to using UDP and not trusting the NIC to do segmentation or crypto offload, is incredibly expensive on the server side. You're paying costs upwards of a factor of 4 as compared to TCP for quality of experience gains that are questionable when compared to TCP.

This doesn't matter for small sites, or for clients. But when you're serving 190Gb/s from a single box, paying 4x per byte really hurts.
I don't think WoW is a good example, its still being sold and maintained. I don't think you can claim something is abandoned just because it was patched or updated. A much better example would be Star Wars Galaxies which was actually abandoned and the servers turned off in 2011.
It is a feature of the system, and arguably a bug in human society

My point is, you seem to be advocating regulation-free business development, while simultaneously proposing new regulations so businesses don't do what you don't like.
That was my thought in constructing the title for this post. Apologies if I failed to capture the appropriate level of nuance.
IBM to Acquire Red Hat and Becoming World's #1 Hybrid Cloud Provider
How to create a serverless real-time analytics platform: a case study
That's how they were used at my last employer. Yes, their OpenShift platform is very good, and they have a lot of good products in their ecosystem, but the biggest value they provided was a vendor to blame if things went south.

Maybe Red Hat and IBM aren't as different as we like to think.
Maybe because IBM would have provided a superior price, and RedHat is a public company answerable to shareholders.

Let's take reality, RedHat is still a small player compared to Amazon, Microsoft or Google. They don't have the bandwidth to compete on all the additional hosted services offerings. By partnering with IBM, they get access to IBMs entire suite of enterprise customers and hosted products, making them a serious competitor to the 3 big players instead of being a "me too, cloud". They could make it big together, looking optimistically. But it's on IBM to not screw this up.
Seems similar to this: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/28/deliveroo-d...

Which talks about "dark kitchens" i.e. existing, well-known chain, having a branch that purely serves delivery services.
New Theory of Intelligence May Disrupt AI and Neuroscience
I think forums are a better solution for this kind of problem.

However, forums suffer from two crippling problems: 1. It's really hard to find active forums (discoverability), and 2. Forums are often overwhelmed with spam and security problems (integrity).

If those two problems could be solved, or at least mitigated better, then forums might make a comeback.
Names aren't sacred. Windows skipped 9 for technical reasons, iPhone skipped 9 for marketing reasons. They only people impacted by a skipped http/3 would be technical people upgrading from /2 to /4 in 5 years.
I manage though, so I get to do the contracting. Mainly our software is enterprise, and it’s always either .ner or java, these days typically with an angular front.

We’re part of several muniplacity driven OSS communities though, where we buy OSS development from small startups and take ownership over project management as well as the codebase.

None of the startups are big on node.js, it’s nostly python, .net, java or php because that’s what they teach at the universities and it’s what they work with in their free time.

I think the node.js environment is great, like I said, but I don’t think it really has much adoption in Europe.
Radical differentiation from competitors is the name of the game for entrepreneurs. Online communities in general and Hacker News in particular have every reason to push back and reject low-effort Redditisms and 4chanisms.
I disagree. What happens if one frontend or backend developer isn't available (quits, vacation, etc)? One of your full stack developers can fill in. You're paying for flexibility as well.

However,. I think that two good full stack developers should be able to outperform a frontend/backend pair because they reduce the need for communication. Many problems take as long to describe as to implement, so you'll iterate a lot faster with two full stack developers focused on one feature each than a frontend/backend pair sharing two features.

The only time having two specialists is important is if you have plenty of talent and projects are well separated. That's rarely the case, so a full stack developer should be significantly more valuable.
cool, will give it a try!

While the article focuses on the Why, the article isn't thick with implementation details about the How. From the image, it looks like they wrote a Node.js program and have it running inside Docker. The article mentions their custom IDE (NeWT - Netflix Workflow Toolkit) that connects to the Docker instance.

The lower half of the article covers their development toolchain:

On the trend of "stuff that actually matters for post-quantum cryptography" is there anything usable on the public key side? Symmetric cryptography is pretty limited in it's real world application scope.
I’m pretty much in the same boat here for a few years now.

I believe I ran some Symantec search tool once when things seemed off and was able to install a targeted removal tool by them and remove them afterward.

Same principles with my macs.

Any Linux machine I use tends to be virtual and pretty blackboxed save web, ssh, and ssl ports. (And maybe a port open connected to a database)
Not being familiar at all with QUIC other than it has something to do with UDP. Would this have any impact on being able to send/receive UDP from the browser for games?
Wow this is really great. It's now a use it or lose it sort of copyright protection for online games.

I have an idea of supporting an online game that is long forgotten, one day. Now it'll be totally legal for me to work on it :)
I might very well be wrong with my interpretation of the politics involved, and you right :D
These are horrible to parse, and make me want to remind everyone that blogs still exist.
So does the EU. MEPs are elected just as democratically as MPs (in the UK), Representatives/Senators (in the US), etc.

Magna Carta was about the balance of power between the king and the barons; commoners' interests come into it only incidentally.

The American Revolution is a slightly better case, but note that its "No taxation without representation!" battle-cry wouldn't be any sort of case against the EU because (1) everyone in EU countries does have respresentation, and (2) while for some countries EU membership is a net cost (at least if you ignore the benefits of free trade, free movement, etc.) that cost is a tiny fraction of those countries' total revenue base; e.g., the UK's net contribution is about £8B/year, which is a little over 1% of total UK taxes.
Doomsday clock == bullshit.

I can't believe people fall for such horseshit.

Climate-based migration? It's been going on for the entire history of the human race.

Prepping and "bugging out" is a waste of time if 10 million other people have to do the same thing, I hope you like the taste of "long pork" because that's all there is going to be to eat. No matter where you go, you will end up having to fight off hordes of other people to protect your one can of baked beans. And correct me if I'm wrong, but Australians turned in most of their guns (idiots) so I guess it will be pretty medieval there if things really do go bad.

As a civilization, the West has completely lost its way in terms of self-sufficiency. If the just-in-time delivery process in the US suffers a major blow, millions will starve and become feral very rapidly. That's what all the "zombie" bs was about--a nice way to approach a not so nice issue of city people who live hand to mouth coming for those who have whatever food exists.

I live just outside a major metro area. I have no illusions about how bad things will get if modern delivery systems falter or if the US Govt. stops paying people not to work. It is all very precarious, but it if and when it fails, the prepper types just live just a tiny bit longer than everyone else, or maybe less since they will be pillaged.
Cute idea, though I did spot a minor spelling mistake "openening" should probably be "opening".
I've encountered the inspection paradox in debates about factory farming and people talking past each other points.

If you take the average farm, chances are that it's doing humane farming. But if you take the average animal, it has an overwhelming chance of being in an industrial farm.

The Future of Security Tokens: Myths and Realities
(OT) I interviewed with IBM after they were acquiring my companies resources at the time. My first two interviews went swimmingly. On my third the interviewer had marked through my last name on my resume and when I asked about it she said she assumed I had spelled it wrong. That was the best thing that happened in the interview.

And if we're really facing 'global nuclear annihilation' I don't think grownup men running around the bush with plastic compass and god damn bow, roleplaying Metro 2033 are solution to this.

It’s amazing how little you can get done with a big team, and yet it’s trendy in development to push for specialized roles that lead to huge communication inefficiencies.
It seems a little disingenuous to say that you can't see how the GDPR has improved the privacy situation online, unless you didn't care about it before it was a thing and still don't care about it now.

> In one generation, smoking went from the coolest thing you could do to one of the least cool things you could do...that message was sent by banning smoking from public view

Being made illegal or banned only makes things cooler. Marijuana is cool now despite being illegal.

Attitudes toward tobacco changed because of the power of advertising. There's a certain justice in that, since advertising made it popular in the first place.
One way to reduce the time you are using it, is to uninstall it from your phone as drKarl said. If you still want to be on facebook or messenger to keep a link with your friend, go only with your computer (if you have one) and limit it 15-20 minutes to check news and answer.

Leaving facebook depends also on your friends. If they understand your choice, then they will contact you with messages or phone calls. If they don't, then it might be more difficult.

The original game is radically different in major ways to the current version.

Maps are different, class mechanics are different, races are different, models are different, enemies and bosses are different, classes are different, etc.

It's a completely different game now under the same banner. Theseus' Ship comes to mind; yes, there's been a continuous migration process in place, but you cannot play World of Warcraft v1 any more.

A more reasonable comparison would be Windows 95 vs Windows XP or something. Yes, XP is backwards compatible, but it's obviously a completely different OS in most ways aside from the name.
Sadly the ruling directly forbids reverse-engineered protocols and custom made servers that emulate the original server. The ruling also states that these abandoned online games could only legally run at a museum/library and that it's against the law to distribute them to the internet or host them publicly.

> and the video game is not distributed or made available outside of the physical premises of the eligible library, archives, or museum.
I don't see why internet strangers think their walls of text are owed eyeballs. Time is short, the amount of content on the internet is near-infinite, much of that content is just noise, and without a very serious assumption that a source is both trustworthy and informative you'd be better off discarding it and moving on.

Reading things thoroughly takes time, and time is money. Scientists are paid to read the current literature on their field. Government and corporate analysts are paid to collect data and provide synthetic memos to executives. Journalists are paid to read sources as a background to their story. If you want me to read your wall of text, you either have to convince me that you are worth reading (through your reputation) or pay me to do it.

HN is indeed an exception in that I find the site to be a kind of guarantee that most of users are well-versed in tech topics and thus have something interesting to say. In that sense the whole website provides a reputation to its users. Twitter has no such guarantee.
I think a decent portion is also because they actually do shady shit.

Haven't used one in years. Windows Defender is good enough for most things. If I suspect my computer might be infected with something, I might run a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan, but it's strictly as-needed. I don't have any realtime protection.
(eval (compile (read))) amazed some people in 1970s. Not me, because I did not know any better, as Lisp was my first high level language. Core was expensive, and the concept of just executing random piece of source code from disk without much overhead or ill effects was just ethereal.
I always thought that the dismal number of likes tweets usually get is a sign that nobody actually reads tweets.

On Twitter, I regularely see accounts with tens of thousands of followers. Yet their tweets get less then 10 likes. So a like to follower ratio of 0.1% or so.

On Instagram the situation is pretty different. Like to Follower ratio is more in the 1% range.

What is the reason for this difference?
Wasn't "Like" originally bookmark? Have we gone full circle?

Edit: I was thinking of favorites. I used favorites as bookmarks, so I got it mixed up.
We don't have to keep current cryptocurrencies around just because there was a CS breakthrough in its first implementation.

Should keep all of these shitcoins and ICO scams around because 1/100 might be legit while 99/100 of them do real damage to investors? Or do you want to keep them around because a CS breakthrough being implemented takes precedence over enforcing financial fraud?
I read that as, "Our thoughts go out to the victims. Please contact the authority in charge of the investigation, which we will be assisting."
Do you extend that opinion to both unit and integration tests? I agree with you that unit tests at the application level have low ROI, but I've found integration tests to be invaluable for applications/services, especially when performing large scale refactoring. Where I work currently there is a fairly large service, full of unit tests, but which the team is wary of changing because it lacks integration tests.

Every Unix used to have its own implementation of those standard tools. They were often quite buggy and outdated (eg the C compiler that came with SunOS and Solaris in the mid 1990's only supported K&R syntax).

When installing Solaris, Sinix, AIX etc, you'd typically install the GNU tools immediately.

I understand the FreeBSD folks' frustration, though.
It "could" in the sense that it's of course technically possible. But it's a _ton_ of work, and it's not clear to me that it would actually be beneficial. GNU grep is doing just fine as far as I can tell at being a POSIX compatible grep.

ripgrep is split into libraries, so if someone wanted this, they could just go do it themselves. :-) It would actually be pretty easy to get something that smells like POSIX. But the details make up a very long tail, and some of those tasks are fairly significant (supporting BRE syntax, supporting POSIX-style alternations, supporting POSIX locales).
TrustedInstaller has existed since Vista.
> devops

Isn't that basically "backend" with lots of experience around automation tools?

I have only worked at startups, so I guess I wear all hats. Here's what I understand:

- frontend - presentation bits, can further separate into developer and designer for UX and logic respectively
- backend - APIs, database interaction, concurrency, etc
- full stack - backend and frontend
- dba - tuning databases
- server admin - tuning OS
- devops - automation, with a splash of backend and server admin

Does that sound about right? If so, full stack and devops overlap quite a bit, and must full stack should be able to handle devops tasks, so wouldn't "full stack" be sufficient to fill your ranks?
Press releases are glorified advertisements. Please post something more substantive instead. Even release notes or change logs are better. An actual review like the really awesome in-depth Mac OS X reviews of yore would be even better.

> Even if the bus system was poorly run, why would it make sense to assume that the expected value of time to arrival doesn't change based on how long you've been waiting?

I don't think it's saying anything about how long you've been waiting, and you don't know when was the last arrival.

It's saying that if you pick a random point on the timeline, the expected wait time doesn't change. That's because by taking a random point you have more chances of landing in a larger stretch of wait time than in a smaller one.
If that could fall only on those who had an active role, however minor, in lobbying for this, than yes, it sounds like justice.

But there will be too much collateral.

How Netflix Is Using Jupyter Notebooks in Production (Interview)
I love reading posts like these. I was talking to my friend about how doing math proofs during HS is pretty similar to a math "lab" even though it's tedious and seemingly useless to some. I wish we were taught higher levels proofs like this. Even though we couldn't appreciate it at that time, it would of definitely helped us in the future.
What you are seeing is someone picking up the baton and running with it. HTTP 1.1 has drawbacks which we've been living with for far too long. Getting people used to change was step one, that was HTTP/2, now were in a position to fix pain points.

I'd also like to see updates to IMAP, SMTP and FTP to name a few.

Probably not what you want to hear but, the next step is that you continue iterating to test to see if you can get traction.

If you can’t convince people to use the product it might mean that it is not something people want. Try treating your product like a science experiment. Your idea and execution is a hypothesis for what you think people want.

If you’re an engineer then the above doesn’t cost any money and hence doesn’t require investors. If not you have to get good at convincing people to work with you.

> and being able to translate it to the chosen medium (that is, HTML and CSS).

Writing good, maintainable HTML and CSS is fundamentally an engineering role -- how to deal with z-index, how to structure into components to avoid abuse of !important, the performance implications of animating transform() vs other properties, how to factor into variables for colors and distances, how to avoid spaghetti classes because CSS is fundamentally global.

In my experience, good designers and good engineers generally come from quite different mindsets, and I would never expect a designer to write well-engineered and maintainable HTML/CSS, the same way I would never expect an engineer to be versed in the intricacies of the rhythms of typography, color theory, or the emotional associations of positive and negative space.

If we're really looking to start from scratch with a modern protocol and break compatibility then HTTP v3 should be something like http://noiseprotocol.org instead.

I assume the QUIC protocol also comes with some "happy accidents" that allows Google to more easily collect data on us, too.

Pittsburgh shooting: Gab drops offline after attack
Yes! I've been advocating among my colleagues to perceive "serverless" as "functional programming -> web services"

I get that the allure of not focusing on infrastructure, scaling, etc. is strong. But that's really a side effect of what you're actually doing: applying FP principles to web service design.

And it really fits the paradigm well. You've got HTTP services (short lived, therefore comfortably stateless) that are ideally infinitely scaleable (easy to do when your HTTP services are basically pure functions). Do you need caching? That's like memoization of your functions!
True. It's why I'm happy they allow it per-user. Some users retweet great stuff, it's the political/social outrage of the day I'd rather not have rammed down my throat every day (I'm perfectly happy with pulling my doom and gloom)
