Established companies all trying to protect themselves from competition because it's an easier / cheaper approach than continuing to actually compete.

Like when a football team is in a winning position and "goes defensive" to the detriment of their effectiveness.
The problem is, once a company / team changes their approach to "the game", it's often too hard to change it back.

Capitalism has developed ADD. It's all about short-term reward and for all intents and purposes the future is too far away to consider.

> being able to select targets after-the-fact at little additional cost because of indiscriminate surveillance

This seems like a bizarre way of thinking, that crimes should only be punished if the criminal happens to be caught in the act, or if law enforcement follows a trail of breadcrumbs involving unreliable eyewitness accounts and scraps of evidence.

How many people have been wrongfully convicted because the police needed to get the crime off the books, or evidence was misleading, or eyewitnesses gave false testimony?

You speak as if it's a forgone conclusion that this is the way things should be, but what's the basis?
Single digit megabytes? Get off my lawn kid. I'm not that old but I remember when computers had total RAM measured in TWO digit KILObytes.
SCTP is a flexible transport protocol with a crazy amount of features. It is message-oriented and each message on a connection belongs to a stream (of which there can be many). Each stream is optionally ordered, but this is managed independently for each stream in a connection. My understanding is that you can tune each stream separstely from unreliable, unordered to fully reliable and ordered as your application needs it.

This looks to me like a strict superset of what QUIC is intended to solve. And it is already supported in all major operating systems.
IPv6 helps in that it mandates a MTU of at least 1280 bytes. In addition, in IPv6 only source nodes can break a packet into fragments - intermediary nodes such as firewalls and routers cannot. Sending back a ICMPv6 Packet Too Big for packets larger than the MTU is a must, which helps with path MTU discovery.
Super awesome! Thanks! I really wish I learned more about rockets during my graduate studies. Haven't really learned much about them besides supersonic nozzles and the math behind the staged combustion cycle during my ICE class.

Any good websites or books you recommend to learn more about them?
The work ethic is in tact. It is not fair to load people with stress and ask them to drop everything. You're conflating poor resource allocation with "work ethic". Burning the midnight oil when it can be avoided is not work ethic. The correct way is to load balance outage resolution.
I second the recommendation for Blitzstein's book and lectures well as the frustration that more of the questions don't have solutions. I enjoyed reading it much more then Sheldon Ross' book, although both books have good problems.
Buckets are globally addressable because they planned for each S3 bucket + object key to have an associated URL (actually several), and URLs are a global namespace.

I find Quillette to be more libertarian-leaning than anything, which to me, ironically, would be what most would consider the left to be in the 90s. I certainly held most of the views found on Quillette and have historically considered myself to be left-leaning in the past, having voted democrat most of my life, but these days I am not sure I fit in anymore. Being "anti-PC culture/anti safe-space" or anti-SJW isn't only a conservative viewpoint either.
I agree. It doesn’t exactly seem like edge cases to not want to propagate front end cookies to internal services. IDK, seems like an issue with cookies just as much as www or no-www.
I have never heard of any such practice before.
When you say double, are we talking for lower/mid-range career levels? At the upper levels, I think it's quite comparable (living & working in Auckland atm, but for a multi-national, so being paid a bit above market due to rolling RSUs).

I can't see myself earning 500k p.a. in Australia doing software PM, if so, I'm moving tomorrow :)
And the economic prosperity they generate. Paper and typewriters weren’t exactly more productive tools for knowledge work.
Of course. I've worked in and around the OSS DBMS market for over a decade. But the numbers were really big. It seems to me that out of a 2015 US $30B DBMS market Oracle and MS were collecting something like US $29B. The rest of the market,which included products like MongoDB and Cassandra was close to a rounding error. (I don't have the Gartner report handy, sorry.)

It's popular on HN to focus on OSS products, but there's a very large proprietary RDBMS market measured both in terms of revenue as well as users. That's how Oracle and MS got to be the behemoths they are today.

You're right. And I'm well aware. But I don't think that changes my point on "commons". CC-BY-NC is a "commons" license for artwork, music, screenplays, scripts, poems, and novels. Why wouldn't a noncommercial software license be a "commons" license, as well?
It actually did not have anything to do with being resource intensive or such, it had to do with looks—with the raindrops sharp I had to get the parameters of the refraction perfectly right, it seemed, for it to look convincing, otherwise it looked extremely artificial and kind of "flat".

By that point I had already spent more time on this than I'd have liked, and allowing for a little blur was an easier way for it to look good enough.

I haven't been doing any "public" work lately, but I'll post anything I make on my Twitter[1], especially if I ever get to finish this updated version.

How do you track the translation during the gesture if you use UILongPressGestureRecognizer? Do you have an example you can link too?
We are GCP customers for the last couple of years. We use other cloud platforms(AWS, IBM, Oracle, OrionVM) too. We don't use GKE but use rancher/kubernetes combo on their standard platform.

So far GCP is the best, hands down in terms of stability. We never had a single outage or maintenance downtime notification till now. We are power users but our monitoring didn't pick any anomaly so i don't think this issue had rampant impact on other services.

But i find it concerning that they provided very little update on what went wrong. I also think its better to expect nil support out of any big cloud provider if you don't have paid support. Funny how all these big cloud providers think you are not eligible for support de-facto. Sigh.
took a dump for me too when trying to search the gallery.

its awesome and i love they are doing it!! now get your IT together ARTIC!!!
> I'd argue that it's clear that if you know x you can at least tell me what the n^th digit of x is. An arbitrary turing machine fails this, an arbitrary turing machine fails being able to tell me what the first digit is, let alone the n^th one.

Sound good (assuming we accept the 999... problem of non-uniqueness). So let's assume the machine makes progress in finite time ie. there is a sequence of natural numbers a(n) such that after time a(n) the machine has emitted at least n digits.

There's another possibility you mentioned above about a machine taking an input n and finding a value within 2^(-n) of the number. A machine that keeps emitting numbers on either side of an integer, eg. 2.1, 1.99, 2.00001, etc. fails to tell the first digit. But these numbers are arguably even more physical that programs-emitting-digits. They're roughly the real numbers you'd get from doing actual (classical) physical measurements.

> Personally I'd like to ask for equality testing too.

You didn't answer the question about irrational numbers but do you think we can have pi? It seems infeasible to mechanically determine that an arbitrary program you are given is a valid pi-digit-calculator though.

If you don't think you can ever have irrational numbers, then I think I see where you're coming from now. Having a number could be having a finite representation of the number that can be mechanically tested for equality (in time polynomial in the sizes of representations): a string of digits, a ratio of strings of digits, a string of digits with decimal point and a bar over the repeated ones, etc. IOW a normal form in some finitary data type.

> Quickly, means in at most polynomial time.

In what? You want the nth digit printed by time O(P(n))? If so, that is strictly stronger than finite time progress so we could dispense with that. But polynomial time doesn't make any sense for a machine that emits a finite string of digits and halts because it doesn't have an input.

> or alternatively quote notation is rather cool

Hah, I was going to ask about p-adics (do I have -1 if I have the machine that emits an infinite string of 1s?).
If analog computers are superior why is everything digital
Squeezed. Not eliminated.
DBMS Engines uses a set of metrics that does not include revenue. See https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_definition for more. Oracle and MS SQL Server have consistently ranked highly there for many years.
This is the subtle, but important, difference between SaaS and PaaS/IaaS. Services are to use. Platforms are built upon. Flickr is a service. If they shutdown I'll get another one. If they shutdown I'll just move to another. GCP is a platform, if they shutdown I have to re-architect the entire thing from scratch.

If it's costing them money they haven't figured out a model, yet, that works in their favour.
Many conversations/topics don't seem to get quite deep enough, I'm not sure how much is because of attention space/disinterest of people and/or popular news incentivized for reaction vs. education. E.g. Minimum wage increase conversations are moot if you don't address the underlying constant increase of rent by landlords for residential and commercial space, etc.
Can you provide an example? I can’t think of a single Quillete article that could be characterized as pseudoscience that was "lifted, almost verbatim, from Victorian publications on eugenics."
The author linked to a post of mine for debugging Node with Chrome DevTools I agree that it's a little frustrating. But a few months ago, the `ndb` project launched with a phenomenally better user experience for this: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/ndb

It has child processes support, easy Ctrl-R hotkey to restart your node, breakpoints can be placed anywhere, and nice default blackboxing of node internals. Worth a spin.
We had an issue a few weeks back where all nodes in west1-a could not pull docker images. Google support was pinballing P1 issue around the globe and across multiple teams for a few days untill I root caused it for them - turned out to be gce service account issues affecting entire zone. 2 days to rollback (no status page update). I know nobody gives a fuck but can’t help but feel vindicated as an ex google sre.
Yes precisely. At least with a new timestamp we will then know the status dashboard isn't also broken.
AWS' Customer Agreement[1] essentially has the same language. I wouldn't be surprised to see similar language from other cloud providers as well. Seems rather prudent on their part.

> We'd never have consented to many of them if we knew they'd be 100% enforced.

Like what?

Times change with technology, whether we like it or not. Thankfully, laws can adapt too.
I agree with this. Compared to AWS, when Google says it's down, it's down, and that's rare. When they say it's up, it's up.
I am thinking deeper than that. I dislike the current debt-based economy for a reason. Google is a good example in which housing prices and other expenses increases every time the revenue increases.
Yes indeed which has made property taxes even more pernicious
I've always felt the lack of congestion control made UDP like the Wild West. I think the endpoints (server and client) have a lot of opportunity to really screw things up for everything in between.
Yes, this is especially important in light of the fact that after the breakup of Standard Oil, oil became unavailable and the entire world transitioned to sustainable sources of energy.
>> telling plants apart can be hard even for trained humans.

> Actually, it's not.

Just telling apart a small percent of plants in tight ecosystems is incredibly complex and takes experienced human experts for that tight ecosystem and I've never seen it done using hardware.

All "apps" are bullshit vaperware, including ones which include human assistance. You can't even get, what's plant is that in my garden apps that actually work.

Are you talking about a monoculture where you might have just 4 types of plants to differentiate between? This I might get. Or telling if it's not plant X.... also possible maybe.
Yep, I have a feeling this will happen alot, even if Apple waits 18 months to refresh iPad hardware that's still only 4-6 months from iOS 13's release. And maybe some hardware criticisms, like only one USB-C port, will be addressed (probably not though)
I do pay for vmware fusion, it's a great product. I'm simply stating differences between kvm and other hypervisors as you requested.

I always understood populist as bowing to the lowest common denominator rather than taking an actual moral position. Ie not thinking through the consequences.
Upwork wouldnt have visibility into any other customers he may or may not have had, so it doesn’t seem like their call to make.

In Aus we have something sort of similar for contractors called personal services income. The rules are somewhat complex but it roughly boils down to the 80/20 rule - if you derive more than 80% of your income from a single customer, you have to treat that income as if you were an employee. Note that the burden here is on the contractor and enforcement is via the tax authority - as opposed to this case where the employer seems to be on the hook
There may be something to your definition but populist is also plainly about the candidate who says whatever people want to hear, so yes it may overlap.

As for GP's point, it may be the case for Trump but not so much for the newest populist in Brazil, for instance, who's more or less a sellout to the US of A and giant platform companies as many a breed of politician here down south have ever been.
It's been a while since I made this, but it's a good suggestion! Rest assured that there was hardly any method to it though, mostly hair-pulling when things did not look quite good! (which is, for me at least, the biggest pain in working with this kind of thing)

But there are some neat tricks which, while not necessarily transferable themselves, might serve as inspiration for other problems.
Wow, it looks like — even proportionally — the most profitable companies have grown since 1955 (the earliest year I can find ranked lists for).

* 1955: GM makes $800M profit [1]; GNP is about $3 trillion [2] — GM's profit is 1/3750 of the overall US economy.

* 2016: Apple makes $50B profit [3]; GNP is about $18 trillion [2] — Apple's profit is 1/360 of the US economy.

I would be very curious how it looked in 1929! How much of the economy did, say, Rockefeller or Carnegie control?

Sure -- It's a multistage process making a graphics sandwich. The meteo data is done by GrADS. I render these at full HD resolution-- 1920x1080.

The base map and overlay are both produced in QGIS using the NaturalEarth database. Because GrADS can't read geographical info from graphics they are built by hand and the parameters are entered into GrADS by hand.

PhotoSweeper Review: The Facts and How to Use?
You only need to do UDP encapsulation on the client side (and then again, you can easily fallback to the kernel acceleration on supported platforms). On the server side, SCTP has a BSD sockets API already, and with some creative ethernet bridging, you can convince the kernel to unencapsulate your SCTP packets (doing this right now in a project for WebRTC, so I know it's possible). This is a one-time investment that can be made open-source and can be done in userspace. Of course, a kernel patch to encapsulate SCTP in UDP shouldn't be that difficult either.

There's two sides to networking -- client and server. Your arguments may make sense for the client, but they do not make sense for the server, IMO.

> There is only one significant user space implementation (usrsctp)

That's right, but there are others (one was posted a while back) independent implementations, and the kernel implementations (BSD, Linux, likely others) are indeed different.

Heh, now that I got reminded of this... I had throat pain for 7-8 weeks or so after moving into an old house. It would go away when I was away from home. There's no obvious mold, dust, moisture etc. problem; so I was about to schedule a professional air test, when the throat pain stopped and never came back. Also, my wife never had any problems.

What would you think that was? A temporary sick building? My only hypothesis is that I am allergic to something outside the house that is not there anymore now that it's fall. However, the plants around the house are basically the same stuff that's present everywhere around town.
Does it support dnscrypt or DoH in the free version yet?
I can't comment regarding GKE as we don't use that particular service, however we are very heavy users of many other GCP services, including Compute, Datastore, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Storage, Functions, Speech, and others. Zero issues this weekend, everything is running 100% as any normal day.
Right... IMO monolith is better understood as a reference to the data model than deployment topology. If you only have a single source of truth, then your application is naturally going to trend towards doing most of its business logic in one place. This still doesn't displace the need for other services like caching, async tasks, etc., that you identify.

Quillette's core shtick is doing the same disingenuous two-step that plenty of other conservative 'intellectuals', alt-right, and 'Dark Enlightenment' types have been doing for years. It goes a little something like this:

FAANG is a curious one to bring up as a monopoly and yet it keeps on being repeated. They are large and influential certainly but they all have one thing in common - they are all accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

Compare to the carrier and media conglomerate monopolies which don't receive any rhetorical pushes against them as monopolies. Despite them literally being the only option in many localities - and not even tiny ones either.

There are some significant differences region to region in AWS. Different numbers of availability zones, different latencies based on datacenter location, different types and availabilities of EC2 instances, etc. I think it makes sense to develop in the same region that your production service runs in just so you don't shoot yourself in the foot by deploying something that runs fine in your development region but doesn't run as well in your production region.
