Having worked at AWS, I have to disagree with you.

No-one that I worked with saw containerization as a threat. And why would they? At the VM level you can already paper over differences between cloud providers and I don't think that anyone at any of the large cloud providers lies awake at night worried about this.

I also don't understand why serverless would couple you to a particular cloud provider. All the big cloud providers provide serverless features and it never takes long to see feature parity.

What ties you to a cloud provider (or any company) is when you use features unique to that provider. And presumably you're using those features because the value they add outweighs the perceived costs of lock-in or the cost of implementing it yourself.
I would say it depends on the context, is it a mistake, like a misclick or a script with a wrong URL, or is it a deliberate actions after your warned him ?

Aix shared objects had more in common with Windows world than with other UNIX variants.

QA for CxOs: How to Hire and Outsource
Five months before the nuclear bombs were detonated above Hiroshima and Nagasaki the US carried out Operating Meetinghouse which, over three nights, killed ~100,000 civilians and displaced 1,000,000 in Tokyo, effectively halving the industrial output of the whole city.[1]

Perhaps the general feeling is, when you've already gone to that extent, and the extremes and excesses of WWII in general, which killed about 60,000,000[2] in total, about 3% of the 1940 world population, another 100,000 odd doesn't make much difference.

Three percent of global population today would be about 231,000,000 people.

Reasons for saying it has an impact.

1) Prices have noticeably come down since they've been removed. This in itself is not proof, but at the same time, what is your proof that these phones have nothing to do with it?

2) Removing the headphone jack has given greater impetus for manufacturers to produce wireless headphones, and to produce lower-end models. More volume, more competition.

3) Removing the headphone jack has given more impetus for people to purchase wireless headphones. There are definitely people that have bought wireless headphones because of this, who wouldn't have bough them if their phones had a builtin headphone jack.

2 and 3 mean more volume, and that means lower prices.

Also, the argument I've been making is not focused just on now. It's also an argument about things going forward.

I work for one of the world’s largest companies. If your organizational structure is a problem for connecting outcomes with engineering then it sounds like you’ve already found a great problem to solve and so go ahead and tackle that instead of spending time on bad metrics!

we still can't read the things. What "data" will the machine learning algorithms

> I think the high price is to amortize the Annapurna Labs acquisition and to pay for NRE.

I don't think that's a useful way to think about pricing a product or service. The price has to be driven by the market, not your costs, which means ultimately your costs have to be driven by the market as well or you're done for.

I suspect they're pricing this a little high because they don't have a lot of them yet, meanwhile plenty of people will pay a bit extra to get a chance to try this out and do proof-of-concepts on them. As long as the market created by the latter matches the availability due to the former, this will work out fine for Amazon. They can always lower prices as these become more mainstream. Novelty value can be real value.

The problem with the nuclear bomb is it's a weapon to kill civilians, not to destroy strategic military targets.

Plus, it's a horrible way to die. Dying because you have a building fall on you, or because a bullet goes through your body, is a thing. Dying because your skin is melting but you can't see it because you got blind after that violent explosion you didn't even watch, and don't even understand what happens because the attack was 10km away, is another.
> Or an overweight person, for that matter.

How about smokers, while we're at it?
Yes. Divorcing teams from outcomes and their products is an anti-pattern. Focusing on metrics for an engineering organization not linked to the things that organization builds is harmful and will produce the wrong results.

Evaluating teams on outcomes will force them to collaborate to make something great. Evaluating teams on collaboration will just make teams do whatever it is you’re measuring.

> - Linux bad because BTRFS, so it's bad (well, you don't have to use it)

The point is that there are no good filesystem options for Linux. ext4 has various issues mainly due to being ext2 underneath, reiserfs is unmaintained, xfs and jfs have no recovery tools at all (and xfs additionally has the trailing zeroes problem), and all of those require you to use a separate system for RAID for which Linux has no good options (true hardware RAID is expensive, BIOS RAID (dm-raid) and software RAID (md) will kick out disks during a rebuild if they see a single bad sector, which per https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-raid-6-stops-working-in-20... is more likely than not with modern disk sizes. This risk is reduced (but not eliminated) by setting up regular scrubs, but tutorials and installation wizards don't always do that). BTRFS has issues up to and including data loss, userspace ZFS has major performance and reliability issues while in-kernel ZFS on Linux has substantial licensing concerns.

> - BSD jails > anything on linux (I was hoping to see a clear outline of pros/cons, but the author's reasoning is very hard to follow, and the tone is very combative instead of constructive)

Agreed that the writing is bad, but BSD jails do have a much higher level of maturity than linux containers. Linux is probably catching up now given the sheer weight of numbers of people using containers, but I still wouldn't trust them quite as much as BSD jails just yet; various kinds of flakiness and security vulnerabilities still seem relatively common.

I feel like I have this setup. For the last 3 years, I’ve been going to a cafe in downtown SF. Over the course of this time, I’ve met people who’ve become best friends, roommates, ppl to do side projects with and much more. Friends know if they want to talk to me they can very reliably just walk in and find me there 8/10 times.

The cool thing about this set up is that you make new friends on a rolling basis which is key because friends you hang with will occasionally move elsewhere or change lifestyles. Over the course of the 3 years, I think the following implicit principles have worked really well:

- We have no expectations of finding each other.

- We don’t make plans.

- On the rare occasion that we make plans, it is very informal. You’re free to flake / be late without being nagged or feeling like you’ve someone waiting on you (they aren’t.)

- Very concrete plans are reserved for events (sad and happy) like a breakup or career chat — in those cases, I’ll make sure to be there at the time I expect the friend.
what you originally said was "but that doesn’t really answer the question of “why remove it?”". You're shifting the goal posts by saying "apple has not given any legitimate reason for removing the audio jack. there is simply no need to remove it." I've given a reason for removing it. You don't just get to declare a reason as not "legitimate". You say "the fact of the matter is that there is zero benefit to the consumer of an iphone for having the audio jack removed.", which just ignores the cost benefit, without arguing against that benefit.

Apple has always removed design features that they don't think are where things should head in the future. That's important to do in the longer term. If you consider any single one of the things they've removed from their computers, it might not seem a big deal, but together they are. Removing things they don't see as part of the future helps them to push technology in the direction they think is best. And removing what they see as unnecessary features can save on costs - costs that might be small per unit but large in terms of the sorts of volumes they are dealing with.
Gentoo Linux is as close to BSD as possible, and have the -systemd USE flag.
If you make a minor mistake in application code, it usually doesn’t affect the whole site. Besides, when you are deploying code on a group of servers, hopefully you have sense enough to at least do a rolling deployment and are using automated health checks to make sure that your whole site isn’t down during a deployment.

I used to run club nights in the 2000s, where I'd take over a night at a club and do some kind of event, I'd ticket the door, so people would pay like $5 to come in.

Clubs always have a front and a backdoor..... I'd get 20-50 of my friends to line up, the security guy would know who's who... The line would move slowly, the person who went in, would go to the bar grab a small drink, and then exit out the back and re-join the line. The best part is, we would only have to do this for 20-30mins at max.

The queue would grow organically, and the security guard would start letting my friends in at a faster pace, and then slow it down once everyones in.. where we would all have a few more drinks.

With zero marketing I could fill a club by just making the line look big.. Here's the big kicker, the traditional marketing in the day (posters around town + getting people to hand out flyers at other clubs in the morning) cost MORE than just giving a couple free drinks to your friends who waited in line.

It's obviously not true that the US can do as it pleases, it can't afford to go to war whenever it wants, its army is really expensive. Also, virtually of the foreign interventions done by the US in the last decades have been failures.

Just ask yourself, why are there all these crooked foreign leaders that make a living of antagonizing the US? If the US is really so powerful because of its nukes, why don't they just surrender?
> He's instead proposing metrics that you can use as a high level barometer of project health. What outcome are you looking for?

None of the proposed metrics capture project health. Test coverage is the closest and that still isn’t great. (Unit tests are important but you can have 100% test coverage and a 0% working product. In fact, this is how every project begins before the first line of code is written.)

No one gives a damn how many pull requests happen or how many days apart they are.

1) Does the software work yet?

1a) How much of it works?

2) Does it do what we want?

2a) .... everytime? Less? How many 9s?

Report on the things that matter. Track the things that matter. Everything else is actively harmful and distracts your teams from doing what matters.

Also, when you ship the software you haven’t finished, you’ve begun. It is absolutely still useful to keep metrics on outcomes and track improving them over time. It is absolutely not “too late” and any planning that assumes software is done after you ship it is flawed. Features can become done, software never is.

In my opinion, the majority of useful work done by CERN is not in the domain of theoretical physics, but in that of engineering. A lot of really bizarre configurations are build (with respect to day-to-day engineering challenges), with extreme requirements that push materials and other forms of engineering forward. Personally I have discovered papers by CERN where they test things that are very useful to me, but if it wasn't for their massive budget, available tools and personnel, nobody else would be be able to, or bother testing and publishing.

While I mourn the practicality of the embedded jack on my iPhone 8, I've had quite a few headphones in a row whose jack ended up failing due to the way my phone is placed inside my pocket, and a repair was impossible, so that was quite an unexpected improvement to have the adapter possibly fail and be replaced at a very small cost instead of a full headset† going bust.

Sorry but that’s just straight up stupid. Comments on YouTube are a bad experience already due to low quality, so I mostly don’t read them, but when I do read them I don’t want to additionally have to pay attention to whether we watched the same video or not.

And that’s what it is — a different video. Different version, different video.

If you change the video, reupload it if it’s important with a title and description that specifies what you changed. Then make the old video unlisted and point to the new version in that description plus pin a comment about it.
Well, here's Humanity's take on that:

The restraining effects of moral identity can be weakened by evading any clear recognition of what you are doing.

In his private diary Truman wrote a passage on the bomb. Given the decision he was making, there is something disappointing about the quality of his thought: [diary quote]

The passage gives evidence of the need to escape from any clear, plain statement of what he was about to do. There is the denial of the full human impact of the bomb by seeing the victims as ‘Japs’ and savages. There is the half-suggestion that the bomb may not work anyway: we only ‘think’ we have found a way to split the atom. We are exonerated because we are giving them a warning, even though we know they will ignore it.

Above all, there is the evasion of the fact that an atomic bomb dropped on a city cannot possibly be directed at purely military targets. In Hiroshima civilians outnumbered soldiers by more than six to one. President Truman certainly had some idea of the civilian casualties later. After Nagasaki he stopped the atomic bombing, saying that the thought of wiping out another 100,000 people was too horrible, and that he did not like the idea of killing ‘all those kids’. Perhaps at some level he knew about this before Hiroshima. If not, his concern for the children was too small to prompt him to find out.

It was not only the President who had to face or evade a moral decision. The scientists who developed the bomb were also faced with a question of conscience. While some confronted it, others took refuge in evasion.
