TF are "GWs and GWs" ?
Way back in the late 90s IBM had a problem with alpha-source-contaminated plastics in their SRAM chips. Those chips were used as caches in Sun SPARC processor modules. IBM told some customers, but not Sun. This caused random bitflips in the processor cache, leading to assorted failures and crashes in what was supposed to be reliable UNIX servers.
Was "CloudTrader" taken?
But, maybe?
It really ultimately has to be if it's to be maintained. LabVIEW is fine for basic prototyping, the problem is that EEs tend to think they've created the mona lisa of program design when they've built a barely functional prototype and then distribute it as a finished product.
There is a lot to unpack here.

Honestly you have a work problem that is less personal and more process (or lack there of).

The key to cracking the poor specs is to return specs to the people making the requests. Learn to do quick and dirty Wireframes and storyboards. It is faster to draw a bunch of boxes and say "If I build this, is it going to do what you want". The first few times you wireframe it is going to take you a LONG time to get a product out - but if you do them for EVERYTHING your quickly going to get fast at the process. There are tons of tools to help you with this process so dont be shy about finding one that works for you and dont be afraid to go to pen and paper.

When your giving these to someone to walk through PRINT THEM OUT - people take paper an order of magnitude more seriously than an email attachment.

As for your anxiety - take public speaking - learn to give speeches, learn to tell a story that holds attention. It is a skill and you have to master it like every other one. You might not ever get to the point of being comfortable but you might be more willing to endure that discomfort if you know that you can be effective.
Two books that really helped me were Nonviolent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg) and Radical Acceptance (Tara Brach). The specific techniques outlined in the books were helpful, but I benefited more from the mentality that you can communicate the same message in multiple tones and receive different results. Some of my colleagues have also done improv comedy courses and experienced the same outcomes.

I also received some pretty sound advice around three years into my career: "just assume that people mean nothing more or less than the literal words they said to you. Don't read more into it than they actually say." I found that if I felt awkward about a situation, I was trying to read in between lines to find some reason that a person secretly hated me or were annoyed by me. They had never actually said or done anything to indicate that they even thought twice about me once I walked away, but I made up all sorts of stories about them in my head.
I have maybe 3 credit cards I use regularly. Well, really only 2, but I carry 3. One is my everyday card, the other one is Amazon-specific so I rarely swipe it. My wife has a couple as well (different accounts, we haven't bothered to combine yet). I've also got debit cards from my bank account, a debit card for our joint bank account, and a debit card for one of my brokerage accounts.

And of course my wife has debit cards for her account and another card for our joint account. That's just off the top of my head. I guess that's 9-ish?

They're not all credit cards, but they all have logos.. and, as it turns out, all Visa, apparently. The obvious question is "why so many", and the answer would be "situations like this", except in this case, it didn't help.

I guess I could take them out of my wallet and just leave them at home, but... why? A year back I was going to Germany; my primary credit card was deactivated on my flight there due to fraudulent use at a Home Depot, while I was on the plane. A second card stopped working, so I was down to my last card, which I really needed to work for a many-thousand-dollar rental car hold.

Called all the banks; the first card was shipped to my house in the US to arrive within 10 days (thanks!), second card was NOT inactive, apparently the merchant terminal was just screwing something up. It worked just fine. But I was glad to have the third!

As a sidenote, it's cool to be on a call with a credit card company, and before you're even off the phone, Apple Wallet pings you with a notification that your new card is active. But not everyone takes NFC. And in general, Germany's weird about accepting foreign cards, so it's nice to have options.
How do you define "1$ USD peg"? As of right now, the price of DAI is $0.98, 2% off its "peg". Asking as a serious question, since I see this statement a lot.
Maybe someone here can help me figure out what I need, since the world of containers is growing faster than I can understand.

I have one code base that I run on multiple servers/containers independently of each other. Think Wordpress style. I used to run it on Heroku but I switched to Dokku because it's substantially cheaper and I don't mind taking care of the infrastructure. I like Dokku but I do worry about being tied to just one server and not being able to horizontally scale or easily load balance between multiple servers/regions. Ideally what I'd like is Dokku with horizontal scaling built in. I've seen Deis and Flynn but they seem less active/mature even than Dokku, which is saying something.

Is Kubernetes the right answer here or should I stick with Dokku and forget about horizontal scaling?
What law are they claiming is being broken?

Do you have any links to the ads?

I know TFL are working hard to combat up-skirting and cyber-flashing.
Maybe you'll become a billionaire. But probably not. Your monolith in a container will take you far, before we go down the treacherous path of microservices (for team demarcation, not technical scaling, but maybe technical scaling!), container lifecycle management, inbound load balancing, internal load balancing, service mesh and discovery, and all the fun that container orchestration at scale encompasses (are you ready to cry for a bit when you're running on no sleep and you can't determine why your orchestrator is unable to retrieve container images from your registry?).
TL;DR: It enables you create much more complex websites without the overhead they've required in the past, letting you focus more on client-side experience.

Two years ago I went with TakeShape as my publication's CMS, for two key reasons.

The first was that TS gave us a interactive visual front-end for managing content, which we could then publish as a static (i.e. pre-rendered HTML/CSS/JS files hosted on S3) website. Almost every other existing solution is built on directories full of Markdown files, which would be unusable to the rest of my team of non-technical editors and authors. I wish it weren't the case, but some people just don't want to step outside a WYSIWYG editor.

The second was that TakeShape provides a visual interface for modelling our data structures and exposing them through an API. This allowed us to figure out features and content on-the-fly, without solving for any backend problems (database maintenance, server uptime, etc.), while we test our assumptions. With the API, we can have the option to build out more complex functionality over time.

I built our site using TS's built-in static site generator, but I'm really excited to start experimenting to see if we should port our templates over to Gatsby. What I like about Gatsby is that it makes progressive enhancement much easier for static sites, and I expect it'll let us set a baseline experience with basic, static HTML functionality and then layer richer React-driven interactions on top. We've already hit against some of the limits of static in terms of our identity management and interaction, so this seems like a promising next step.

Yes, I do! At present they're not exportable though. I think one part of the product that's nice in that way is that as a subscriber, you know you don't need to think about your email getting spammed - communicating with subscribers is only done as a post is published.
From the article itself:

"Of course, it's important to bear in mind that 'just about to explode' means something different in cosmic terms versus human terms. It could happen at any time in the... next few hundred thousand years."

So a clickbait title.
I've heard this argument applied before to many different things in many different situations before and I view it to be just as much of an intellectually and morally bankrupt position to take, as when I first heard it.

I would love for somebody to combine Narrative's 8+ hour time-lapse lifelogging photos with the ability to be linked to your phone which would continuously upload the photos to a selected FTP server. That way if the device is confiscated or destroyed by law enforcement, you'd still have a record.
You have presumably not read the article.

This article is discussing a message directly from one of google's lawyers.

Pointing out that google's lawyers give the advice of google's lawyers is somewhat less than helpful, as far as observations go.
Internal data buses and caches are typically ECC'd. In fact, DRAM and the memory bus are most likely the only non-ECC parts in desktop computers.

>Of course, it's important to bear in mind that "just about to explode" means something different in cosmic terms versus human terms. It could happen at any time in the... next few hundred thousand years.
My work buddy did this.

I'm pretty sure this was simply because he thought it couldn't be done, and I just put the niggling thought in his mind so he tried and was successful.

Weirdly enough he was the introvert and I less so, and I got the promotion. No hard feelings on either end, as far as I know. We all have our quirks.
The truth is, that science empowers the common men- every device crafted giveth more power to the capable individual. And that scares the upper crust.
Thus, knowledge must be reduced and separated, and the increasing of dangerous potential must be subverted. If everyone owns a flying car with a fusion reactor- everyone owns the means to eliminate a city.

So, here we are, with leaders who praise innovation, while doing everything they can to sabotage it. And after 9/11 one would be tempted to call them not completely wrong. The human environment altogether is deteriorating so fast that this sabotage will have to cease very soon, or else, there might not be a surveillance state left to protect with a science ban.
What are the downsides of eBPF(XDP)programs compared to the previous options (DPDK etc.)?

> the user discovered that chrome was sending all text from all webpages to the translate service

That's what they claimed, not what they discovered. What they discovered was that Chrome was sending emails created in a specific webmail client to a translation service. Language detection is done client-side; text is only sent to the translation service if the client decides it's in the wrong language.

> Again, I am not sure what race has to do with this at all

That's literally the entire point of a trial and presentation of evidence.

The Charter/Comcast argument was “it doesn't matter if we were actually discriminating on the basis of race, because the First Amendment allows us to do so, so there's no need for a trial to determine if that's what we were doing (which we weren't.)”

This decision simply says: “The First Amendment doesn't allow you to discriminate by race in the way alleged, so the question of whether you did or did not actually will need to be resolved in court.”
The only thing I remember about Secure Scuttlebutt is that it's anything but secure, but I can't for the life of me remember where I read it - can somebody jog my memory?
It's a flaw in all current cryptocurrencies that they suffer from an opaque, trust-based exchange infrastructure.

I'd argue that it's inherent in the sense that none of them factored that into their model. As such, I'd argue that the models are inherently flawed because a trustless core is fundamentally compromised if you only have a trustful interface to the rest of the world.

To that end, I agree with your basic point: you need an interface to the outside word that has similar properties to the core model. At least, trustless, transparent, auditable. Probably anonymous as well.
Duped? I use gitcoin now to build software projects. Is that use case a figment of my imagination?

And nice concern troll. I think there are two types of people in crypto. Some like me, who are building things and see the huge potential in decentralized infrastructure, and then speculators that will dump money into anything as long as they see a positive return. Do you really feel that bad for the speculators? No ones forcing them to invest in shitty ICO's with tons of red flags.
I already responded. There are many ways to become wealthy. "Allocating capital efficiently" is just one of them. You keep claiming it is the most common way, and the rest, such as inheriting money, are "exceptions". I asked you to provide a citation. You refused, and provided a shallow response instead, saying it is "self-evident". Hence, you have no interest in actual discourse.
Have you thought of adding an eBPF backend for Rust?

I'm curious where you work. I've been doing eBPF in production for a while as well, but our control plane is Go / C.
It feels like it's easier to understand a complete process flow like this visually; sure a developer could probably implement individual steps for a complicated workflow faster as code, but only if they already understand how the process needs to flow in the first place. The visual paradigm almost acts to shortcut the need for a developer to "get in the zone" and load up a mental model of decision tree, but at the cost of a more rigid implementation model (you have to work within the framework of the UX that you're provided, and pretty much any GUI will fail to keep up with the speed the most advanced users "could" work at). On the other hand, I can't imagine implementing something like your example graphic in code without at least whiteboarding it out ahead of time, which is effectively just an analog way of doing visual programming.
So, we're in the low double-digits in terms of percentage? Seems like relatively few.

As in, it's not uncommon to live here and not know anyone with a pool.
Looking at the OP history, they only ever posted content related to meports.com.

Judging by the titles of the submissions and on content archived by the wayback machine, meports was originally intended to be a "life dashboard" (mood, workouts, etc..) and pivoted approximately a year ago towards its current form, a meta analysis of genome.
Oh no! I'll check it out! Could you message fiiv@blogsend.io and I can check out the problem!
Last I heard text is visual... so then what is text but a form of visual programming?

In essence text is visual programming limited to set of symbols and tokens parsed in left to right order.

Who said that this arbitrary set of rules is the best way to represent programming logic? The number of concepts for abstraction encompass many things in the visual realm. Graphs, procedures, arrows and even 3D space can be used to represent logic... Obviously with a space this big, text is unlikely to be the best way.

Text based programming is simply a local minima that is seemingly the optimal minimum. The problem is we're so deep in this minimum that it's hard to climb out.
I guess if it doesn't drop 10% in one day that's considered "stable" by cryptocurrency standards.
but what if? Imagine.
So ... here's what I'm thinking, as a complete layman with respect to how radiation affects memory devices. RAM is DRAM, i.e. dynamic RAM. It has to get automatically refreshed relatively frequently.

So, maybe (again, me being a layman) what happens is that usually gamma rays hit a DRAM cell, but haven't imparted enough energy to cause a flip. A millisecond later the cell gets refreshed erasing what little influence the gamma ray had. No harm done. A flip would only occur if enough particles hit the cell within the refresh time frame. That's of course possible, but more rare.

Contrast this with processor cache. On-die cache is most likely SRAM, Static RAM. It doesn't get refreshed. So the slight voltage errors caused by gamma rays can slowly build up over time.

Perhaps this normally isn't an issue, because even though the cache is SRAM and doesn't get refreshed automatically, it'll get "refreshed" by virtue of being cache. i.e. as long as the processor is busy the cache is constantly getting re-written with new cache lines.

But that won't hold true when the processor is asleep. The cache will be sitting idle, making itself susceptible to accumulated charges. Thus the likelihood of a gamma flip is greatly increased.

All of that crude logic aside there's one caveat:

> he workaround was removed once the problem was fixed in microcode or in a later processor stepping.

So ... either everything I said is a load of bollocks and actually this was a processor bug that some CPU engineer mistook as gamma flips, or maybe my theory is correct and they changed the CPU to occasionally wake up and "refresh" its cache automatically.

The mystery remains...
You have to check in within 24h from arrival for sure, at least for a single day, that's the legal requirement. Everything after that is up to you. They don't know much besides the fact that you did check in, your ID, and your photo.

That advice is more for people who are living in China, and don't want to be the next in line in the "and then, they came for" when they simply happen to travel to countryside.

The fact that so much of surveillance is automated, means that you risk of setting of some "smart spy detector" increases the more you do anything that leaves any digital trail. This way, if you don't leave any paper trail, that "smart spy detector" simply don't have any data to flag you with.

The Time Our Provider Screwed Us
To add to this, reading your post, I was actually surprised to see that someone else is in a pretty similar situation. In my case, I felt the other person was really a toxic element and did my best to point it out to upper management, with concrete examples and validation from other team members. I rarely faced disagreement in any of these discussions with upper management but alas they failed to take action. I came to the conclusion that if an organization is incapable to weed out toxic elements despite substantial evidence, it's going to only get worse from here and that it's best to leave the organization as soon as possible.

I wonder what throughput it can give when used as an animated sequence of codes? I experimented with animated QRs for data transfer last week and the real maximum I’ve achieved was around 9KB/s. https://divan.github.io/posts/animatedqr

Using colored high-capacity encoding should yield much better results, given the decoder is as fast as QR one.
Exactly, having a one time fee is acceptable. A subscription for an app that's going to largely stay the same feature-wise is overkill.

so true lol.
I imagine if you have an ops team, they're going to continue to pray every time you have to upgrade k8s or a supporting underlying service and the expectation is that everything will continue to function without dropping an inbound request. I imagine they are going to be less than impressed being on call for something that is essentially still in beta. And if you have no ops and your devs are responsible for it, god help you unless you're leaning heavily on a Kubernetes managed service (which is of course, as we recently saw with Google's outage [1], no guarantee everything will work flawlessly).

My hesitation and cautiousness doesn't come from being a greybeard curmudgeon, it comes from a healthy dose of skepticism that this is The One True Path that will Solve All The Problems. I am cautiously optimistic it might be a stable, proven ecosystem, eventually. But it isn't today.

When making technology decisions, imagine that you're the one with the pager at 3am and work backwards accordingly.

Sharing a blog post that my team wrote on some of the benefits we saw from using Gatsby / a static frontend architecture when building https://shopflamingo.com:

In short, being able to scale to as many requests as your CDN can handle, with none of the operational overhead of a traditional web server, is really really nice.
I also am personally fine with "open-core", something like JetBrains or GitLab, where the commitment to FLOSS is clearly shown, even if not all versions of their product are completely FLOSS. This is however not the case with the author of this post.

I also question him being a fan, it seems to me like he's a fan of building on it, that's about it.
Not really. The attention span of the people with the legitimacy to push through painful reforms is limited. The bureaucracy is just people doing their job. If there's no pressure from above they will take the path of least resistance and minimize personal risk, i.e. keep the status quo and cover their asses.
Well, what's interesting or perhaps not-so-interesting to those that understand the underlying mechanics is: there's 'crypto sell-off' but only Bitcoin is mentioned in the headlines. In other words, the implication is BTC crashing leads or is concomitant with ETH and LTC and others crashing, and no one is surprised or curious by this.

I really makes one laugh at all the "diversify your portfolio" advice of yesteryear's crypto shills.
