The Best DevOps Tools You Should Opt For
Just came back from Shenzen, seemed like most of the taxis were electric. You can tell because they're blue vs the red gas taxis. Another ingenious thing they do is there's an added fee to ride red taxis, so people avoid them like they're plague-ridden when they have other options. I thought that was a brilliant use of taxing externalities, you let customers decide whether paying the fee is worth it.
Deleted Facebook and Instagram years ago. There was no point to any of it. It’s astounding that with all our tech advancements we are so good at building HA distributed systems that can allow people to over share their baby pictures or political opinions while people are still dying of cancer.
In my little country in Western Europe starting in World War 2 all those with income from labor have paid wage taxes. The first income tax was introduced in 1915. Before that in the 16th century: the first value added tax. Most revenue up until 1915 came from value added taxes and levies. That goes to show that (comparatively) low taxes is not a function of low income.
Pointers work just as well with heap allocated or stack allocated variables.
I've also been bothered lately by the tendency for people to look for/latch on to the first easy answer they find online

It's especially bad among coders.. There seems to be a lot of people who got sucked into software work for financial reasons, but never really learned the basics of how to research something and apply their knowledge. Instead of treating software development as a form of engineering, they treat it like a puzzle and kludge their way through with a hodgepodge of copy-pasted snippets they don't ever try to understand.

I'm also not sure what (if anything) to do about the issue, though.. I don't run into those people in the belly of big OS/platform vendors I've worked for, so maybe it's really just a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things

The profits are largely accumulated by an American company in the case of iPhone. To the larger point, a state corporation in China is not subject to same laws of finance as a publicly traded company in the west. That is the gap, China does not have a technological or logistical advantage making electric buses.
One kind of nice/kind of weird part of it, is that it's mostly interconnected slices-of-life without a huge overarching plot (though that's not entirely true, either) -- that has made it quite good as a pick-up-put-down book: handy, considering it's length!
I don't think so, never pain. That being said, it does seem like a more "natural" stance. There does seem to be subtle a reward mechanism for keeping the swimmers cool.
Finally, someone knows the history and common sense.

The income tax history is really short. Even in US, the income tax was not significant until recent 50-70years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Federal,_State,_and_Local...

The China economy is behind US probably 20-30 years. Its GDP is large because its population is huge.

Why the Economist publishes this kind of low-level article?
You are confusing the terms.of the GPL and LGPL. The GPL does require a program linked to a GPL library to be distributed under the GPL as well. This requirement is not in the LGPL. There, you only have to provide the user with the means to exchange the LGPL library with a different, possibly modified one.

The interviewer should ask the candidate, in the candidate's own words, to walk through solving a problem proposed by the interviewer. No whiteboard. Just a simple conversation. The candidate must be provided the opportunity to organize their thoughts with notes on paper and have a short pause of time to think through an answer.

Problem solving is a fairly universal thought experience not limited to writing code. The goal is to ascertain whether the candidate can break down the complexity of a problem into simple steps, organize their thoughts into a clear flow, communicate clearly, and finally recommend a valid solution.

You don't need to test whether the candidate can actually write code, because this is built into the nature of the exercise as qualified by the feasibility of the proposed solution. This exercise also implicitly tests confidence, creativity, experience, and approach style.

Most importantly though, it separates the competent from the incompetent. No amount of framework foolishness and dependency baggage will communicate a solution for you.

Amazon is also using their consumer goods sales data of their merchants to determine what products they should themselves profitably create and sell. For instance Amazon began directly selling Amazon branded DisplayPort to HDMI adapters after they determined they could profitably undercut the merchants on their platform. Unfortunately I can’t dig up the link.
They're revamping some of the console pages, like RDS and ActiveMQ with a new design language, but I think their official stance is that no one in their right might should be using the console at scale anyway. The console itself uses the APIs, so anyone doing anything respectable should just use the APIs. The console is really a second class citizen, and I assume the designers who work on it are as well.

this is kind of ridiculous isn't it? If you're a native app you can just read the user's profile in c:\Users\name\AppData or ~/Library/Application Support or ~/.config/

In all cases Chrome or Firefox there's a bunch of sqlite3 and/or json files that have all your cookies, your history, your login info. No need to try to guess from GPU memory contents.

The GPU thing seems like an OS level issue. One app should not be able to read another app's data. The OS should be clearing both CPU and GPU memory for all apps. Not relying on each app to be perfect.

For the profile thing it seems like all 3 OSes should provide per app storage that only that app can read. I noticed at least on MacOS Mojave if you do a `find ~/. -name "foo"` you'll get permission messages for several folders in ~/Library like "Terminal would like to access your contacts (stored ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook) and if you click "Don't Allow" then find gets a permission error for that folder.

Seems like they need to do the same thing for all app folders and only the app assigned to that folder gets permission to read.

How has that been working out for you? I used to think the same and I'd ask a "programming passion question" right before a simple coding question, and then I'd run into these amazing bullshitters who could talk shop but couldn't write fizzbuzz. But they'd come up with a bunch of excuses as they were writing the code as to why ("oh my company uses this other framework so I forgot how to write a for loop"). So sadly I stopped paying attention to that part. I only ask it to make the candidate comfortable before we dive into code.

GPL is not meant to prevent commercial uses, as long as the commercial uses are still with GPL.

What I generally do is release source code of my program as public domain, even if it links with GPL libraries (it will be GPL if I am modifying an existing GPL program though), although require that the combination is GPL even though the files that are entirely my own writing will be public domain. To distribute the combination or binaries requires distributing according to GPL. Since public domain software with source code is compatible with GPL, this is probably allowed, as long as the combination with the GPL libraries are GPL. (Since I do not generally release binaries, and rather release them as public domain source code, therefore it is probably allowed.)

Upgrading Windows from 7 to 10 caused s lot of older devices to stop working for a lot of people, despite the stable ABI; in most cases, it was just driver unavailability and not incompatibility, but that’s a distinction without a difference for most users.

Linux just keeps on working with old devices across distributions and updates.

Linux takes 6m-24m till vendor unsupported drivers stabilize - but at that point, it works way better than windows (and basically forever) in my experience.
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

For what it's worth, I often recommend customers look to our partners (e.g., Elastic with their managed offering). The people who build the product will know it best. Moreover, they would be way better suited to running say a multi-cloud variant, or staying with you as you move between cloud providers.

There are still barriers though for third-parties on a cloud platform, some of which we as providers can slowly chip away at:

- Integration/Feel: You want to be in the console and feel like a natural part of the platform. This is double-edged though, because holding all partners to such a high bar (say a Google internal API review... ha!) is unrealistic.

- Support: Who do customers call? Their overall cloud provider or their specific service provider? If the customer is having trouble with their Elastic cluster, is it because we're having a GCE outage or did the customer write a query-of-death? For the latter, our front-line support won't be much help. [Edit: And you want to be able to still have a very fast "Hey! My stuff is down!" path. I think technological things could make automatic handoff here much better, but I believe it'll be "not great" for a while.]

- Economics: most service providers are going to be smaller than our largest customers. Those customers have usually signed up for multi-year commitments with high volumes resulting in a discount. If your service pricing model is "on-demand GCE pricing plus our service fee", you suddenly look over 2x as expensive to their TCO folks (just from missing Committed Use, or RIs with AWS). Unbundling the resources from the management fee would make this easier, but I've not seen many service providers attempt it.

We owe you much better docs (start here [1]), but we're trying to get there on at least some of these. All of the "human" factors though are still going to be a challenge, no matter how much software gets written.

Yep. A bike is self stabilizing due to the design of the dropout on the fork. If you lean left it automatically turns left which will push you upright again.

It is hard to not stay balanced on a bike. Unless you are on uneven or slippery surface, or do other stunts, the only way you can really fall is if you are moving too slow or you are deliberately forcing your handlebars to turn very hard.
16% VAT is lower than the EU: "Different rates of VAT apply in different EU member states, ranging from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary". [1] The minimum rate in the EU is 15%, but of the 'primary goods' (e.g. food) the minimum rate is 5%. [2]

Admittedly I'm not from the US , but regardless I get the feeling that you might be seeing government subsidies for public services as more bizarre and infrequent than they actually are.

> I really don't get how JS on the client and the server is any real advantage

from my own experience, using single language has huge influence on overall code quality. Makes you understand it much better, comparing to situation you must switch between multiple languages. As you gain more experience in it, the less obvious bugs you'll make (just by knowing what's good and what's wrong).

The worst js code I see, is coming from programmers for whose javascript is their secondary (or third) language. They simply don't understand the basics of it. For example they use timeouts to make asynchronous code synchronous, etc... Then bitching on internet how bad language it is.
Unfortunately, all Safari releases going forward (12 onwards) are removing APIs that allow uBlock Origin to do what it does.

Its filled with LEFT REGRESSIVE SOCIALIST narrative now
Feminism since 70s

* Replace Democracy with Socialism

* women dependent on state for resources

* women HATE MEN+Democracy/west

* Misinformation

* change words

* Remove individual accountability for women via

- abortion

- No fault divorce

- Duluth model

- pussy pass in courts

- Metoo

I'm trying to find an example of this "long press shows context menu". Tried long pressing a link in Safari Mac no context menu appears. Ctrl-Click brings up context menu. Tried long pressing a shortcut, no context menu but ctrl-click brings up context menu. Tried selecting and long clicking a file in Finder. No context menu appears but ctrl-click brings up context menu. Tried selecting some text in TextEdit and long pressing, No luck. Ctrl-Click brings up context menu. Tried long pressing a tab in the ruler, same issue. It seems like even for Apple this isn't much of a standard.
If I understand exmadscientist correctly, this sounds a lot like Floyd's invariant principle, in which the argument is understood as mathematical induction, where the induction is on (property-preserving) transitions of the state machine (and with the initial state as base case).

Gday My view on marriage
5 years MONK here
2 years MGTOW

Women in today's Duluth & Unfair system is not worth

* Short Term Dating

* Long Term Dating

* Cohabit

* Marriage

* Even short term dating and the first date

Women DEMAND and EXPECT men to pay out money for resources

just because they are women and they have tits
and women dont have to give anything back for the transaction

* Due Process is getting REMOVED for MEN (#metoo)

* We are getting close to a stage that we will need
dash cam for ALL MEN in Western society to prove

we DIDN'T do something and the other person IS GUILTY
just like cars these days

What do women really offer in 2010-2020 ?

Most dont
* cook

* clean

* take care of kids

* sow/repair clothes

* garden

Most do support

* Socialism

* Veganism

* Minimalism

* Apple phones

* Apple laptops

Most DON'T

* watch or interested in - scifi

* watch or interested in - anime

* watch or interested in - Japanese/South Korean culture

Most choose to work in:-

* Nursing

* Teaching

* Child Care

* Office/Office Admin

Most dont or not interested in:-

* Geek CULTURE

* Fixing tech/computers

* Ardino/Raspi/electronics

* PC gaming coop

* Linux

* DIY repair

* scifi

In the end of the day what do most geek/nerd men have in same common interest with women ?

NOTHING

It then falls back to

Looks

Boobs

Pussy

Sex

If women choose to reject being TRADITIONAL and submitting to the house wife role

then most of them offer NOTHING TO MEN

Most men will have their own

* Car

* Home

* Job

* Money

* TV

* Lounge

* Bed

* Entertainment

Why do we "need" dating or marriage

it then falls back to the only thing we "need" is sex

If your above a 6 in looks and OVER 6 foot tall then use tinder

otherwise pay for a hooker or go MONK

Then the "need" for women disappears completely

ONCE Feminism in late 1970s changed the LAWS to SOCIALISM

in the lie of EQUALITY with NO FAULT DIVORCE RAPE

AND DULUTH MODEL in LAW and COURTS that was two

of the main factors that killed TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE

Until ALL WOMEN GLOBALLY stop using Hypergamy to choose men by

* Over 6 foot

* Over 6 in looks

* Over 6 inches

* Over 6 figure income

and finally look at men as an PERSON

not a resource device that you can screw over by LAW

and the laws ARE FIXED

and women are WILLING to go back to PROPER TRADITIONALISM

Marriage is OVER
