Web development and music/audio, what kind of jobs are out there?
I love music and would love to find a position where I can use my technical skills and be around creative musicians. Any ideas of what routes I can take to make a dream job happen? I'm not even fully sure where I can look to find such a position with a good company.
This argument is illogical.

They don’t share sources because simply it would reveal the sources. It has nothing to do with plausible deniability because they don’t care whether you believe them or not. The governments do and that’s all that matters.
What Are the Best Software Engineering Principles?
I think we need to rethink the concept of a university from first principles: How much does it actually cost to provide the best education in the world? A sizable library, an old building with empty rooms, and professors? I'd bet you could make instruction 5x better with 5x lower costs than we have today. The real problem isn't building/finding a campus, though, it's figuring out how to make the cheap version of Harvard more prestigious than Harvard itself. Universities run on prestige and people pay vast amounts of money for social signaling (to others and even themselves).
Then perhaps you can see why using telemetry is irresponsible.
Awesome work! I love when people build productivity tools for Windows.

What's the difference between this and ShareX?

Cheers.
It is easier to focus on the negative qualities of the outsiders, thanks for reigning me back into the light.
I am on Safari, so yeah, maybe that's it.

Thanks for the responses!
Most musicians live off the money they make touring and performing. It's rare that a musician makes enough money off of record sales alone.
Don't you need to setup network paths? And connect containers to each other..

Then setup/teardown in specific order.. and if you have state, keep a subset of containers alive to avoid loosing state (even if it's replicated).
Support for FreeBSD 8 ended sometime in 2015, FreeBSD 11 did not come out until mid 2016 and if it was a recent update i can see why the huge jump could cause update issues. The answer to what caused your issue was most likely in the UPDATING file in the source directory.

I have been using FreeBSD since 3.x in 1999 and have only been bitten by source updates when I failed to follow procedure and read the UPDATING file. Anyway source update from 11.2 to 12 worked for me fine.
The usage stats from telemetry showed a 0.01% usage rate. Even if 99% of people that used the Live Bookmarks feature disabled telemetry that implies that 99% of Firefox users did not use the feature.
Combine it with Terraform and you're winning the Internet.
Congratulations, nice round version number!
In the last few years most of the Ivy League schools have quietly gone to a complete coverage for students in need of financial aid. Harvard is among those who do. Turns out the problem is now further down the academic scale.

That's at least more realistically connected to a legitimate government purpose. It seems hugely invasive to be doing without a court order though.
Your point is valid, but most Ivy Leagues are need-blind for U.S. citizens (Harvard is need-blind for internationals too) at the undergraduate level and are known for relatively generous financial aid policies [1].

I think these schools are a drop in the proverbial ocean of generating crippling student debt, even for kids graduating from humanities majors.

I heard somewhere, "People are not against you. They are just for themselves."
Also, the business school is in Allston, and the engineering school will move there in a few years.
Yes, it's a hypothesis. A hypothesis that has been invalidated by data again, and again, and again, and again.
I was half joking. When I first got to know FreeBSD, the way to upgrade was to rebuild from source and then perform all kind of magic incantations to merge the new configuration files and whatnot. freebsd-update(8) has made this whole experience much more convenient. I consider myself a competent Unix user, but I am glad these days I do not need to be a wizard to keep things working.

I guess I will upgrade my trusty home server over the holidays, and I am looking forward to it. ;-)
I too prefer the one on the left. However, the one on the right looks more laid back and appropriate for a fun/game kind of application, and the one on the left looks more technical and serious, at least from my uneducated point of view.
To add to the anecdata: My most recent SSD failure happened when I did the firmware upgrade. It worked before the upgrade, the upgrade binary said 'upgrade failed' and the disk vanished and never returned after the 'upgrade'.

We're a research center (https://growthlab.cid.harvard.edu/) that focuses on the question: “Why do some countries grow while others don’t?”, and we study issues of economic development. We have people from a wide set of backgrounds, including economics, public policy, computer science, mathematics. Our center often works directly with counterparts in different government organizations across the world. Our software team is a is a small one (5 and growing) embedded within the larger organization of researchers and data scientists. Our audience is policy makers, researchers and economists.

Our data visualization tool (http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu) just got shortlisted in the Information is Beautiful awards, and we're working on an even larger new section that adds a storytelling-style profile for every country in the world, where we guide you through the process of what your country currently makes and what it could be making in the future, while making some of the more technical concepts more approachable.

Do other universities do this too?

University of Chicago opened a building in Hong Kong.†

"Ownership" is hard to speak to, since it's my understanding that nobody "owns" land in Hong Kong, it's just leased from the government for 99 years. Or maybe I'm confusing that with the mainland.

Right, we would define what you're pointing to as a subset of cash flow - you are specifically highlighting "liquidity" when you talk about the lag there, but I agree we could have been more clear. 82% is referring to failure for financial reasons vs. management, regulatory, etc.
You can quote me, as I've gotten down and dirty with the Xbox ( https://github.com/monocasa/xbvm ), and have written board support packages for CE for work.

The OG Xbox kernel is an extremely heavily stripped down and modified Win2k kernel. No support for user mode, multiple address spaces, or more than one running process. No win32 in the kernel. USB, sound, and the vast majority of the graphics driver are statically linked into the process executable.
I assume that is 64-bit inodes for UFS2 ?

I would be concerned about the ability to fsck a UFS2 filesystem with enough inodes in it to require 64-bit inodes... As late as 2010/2011 fsck would fail to allocate enough memory to successfully repair a filesystem with <200M inodes ...

I have it on good authority (the author of UFS) that there is no reason to use UFS instead of ZFS unless you are severely memory constrained.

Perhaps I misunderstand the new feature you are highlighting ?
Doesn't match my experience. I used them to check the price of A...B...C...D....com.au which was available. A few days later, I came back to register it, just to find that that domain, ABC...D...com.au and ABCD.com.au are reserved and available via auction. Checking with national registrar directly I confirmed the domain is not reserved. With that information I contacted the namecheap support who gave me some direct "add to cart" url which was not normally available.

I don't trust any registrar anymore.
This was a GSoC project :)

Allston is across the river.
Your reference is for Napa. The reference for Paradise from the same site[1] shows rain in May and October, as I mentioned.

SST anomalies, like all anomalies, cannot be interpreted without first understanding the distribution of anomalies. Examining 5 sequential years is not as helpful as you might want, especially since 2015 was an El Niño year.

And as a Californian let me assure you the tails on all our weather distributions are enormous. We only get a dozen storms[2] on average. But just a few here and there can easily change that to six and a drought, or 24 and a deluge.

A big part of this is that programmers have different programming worldviews. Many people seem to be unaware that worldviews are not perfect rational easily modifiable constructions but are instead foundational structures that thinking builds upon automatically. Programmers are about as unlikely to easily change their programming worldviews as they are to change their political beliefs.

Which is not to say that programming worldviews can't change, it's just that by their nature it takes a strong effort to change then and the changes are usually gradual over time. Or something completely irrational changed them. For example if a programmer needs to find a new job and the team has a different approach to programming, this social circumstance may necessitate that he adopt a new viewpoint.

I think that people are less rational than they think they are. Which is not to say that they can't be rational, it's just that other preformed factors besides logic have a strong influence over our perspectives on a particular topic.

So we can certainly discuss things productively but we should be aware that people can't change their religion easily. And no matter how smart or rational everyone has strong beliefs because that's just how our brains operate.

One consequence is that when trying to have rational discussions it is necessary to try to dig in to identify all of people assumptions, since there is a good chance of of the other person's programming beliefs may play a big role in their thinking and you may not even be aware of it.
Solzhenitsyn's writings gave hope to people, to their minds and souls. Like Voice of America and other channels of information from outside the curtain. But saying that they destroyed an empire is an overclaim.

In my opinion, no single factor destroyed the empire. However, if I were to pick the most important one I'd say Gorbachev.
I mean, the only reason I even know what Plaid is is because the services I've used advertise they are using Plaid, for example, Drop: https://imgur.com/a/l4PM6QG I remember seeing it on Citibank too.

You're still sharing your bank account information with someone else. Even if it's your bank's API or whatever, "something my bank created" could be "something my bank had hired an external company to create," or even "a front end my bank created that uses third party software to do all the data processing on the back end." I'm not sure of a meaningful distinction between each case. If you want to minimize sharing bank account information "for privacy" then you don't give your bank account information to anyone.
>A nation state adversary could trivially miniaturize this to the size and form of an SMT resistor, and use a much more capable uC in the process.

And sandwich it between the PCB layers. No way to find even upon close up inspection without Xraying the board itself, and even interpreting the Xray image of modern multilayer board would be a nontrivial task. I dont think Supermicro did it, at least for statistically meaningful set of boards.
California has controlled burns. Fire barriers and escape routes do need to be improved, but not sure that mattered given the wind in this particular incident.

Also thanks, I liked that article describing blocking, but it didn't tie the phenomena to climate change. In fact, it says that blocking is a long-known thing. Do you know of any research that does tie it?
Can someone please create Series as a Service (SaaS) to facilitate connecting startups with funding?

InVision is cool and everything, but these funding rounds are on the order of 1000 times larger than what a couple of indie devs need to create similar functionality. I would like to live on a beach, or in a cabin in the woods (preferably both, seasonally) and create software remotely. I also need to be left alone for a year so I can create the next-gen tools in the spirit of Firebase, Elixir etc so I can focus on the work instead of the minutia/infrastructure surrounding it.

Unfortunately after writing this, I realized it's all about the customer base so never mind. Actually, can someone create Customer Base as a Service (CBaaS) to facilitate connecting startups with customers?
You need large grants and already renowned professors. I'm guessing that's what is really expensive. The problem we have today is that the gap between academia research jobs and the industry is possibly the widest ever, at least in some professions. Deep learning is just one example, but the generic Data Science trend in the industry has been syphoning people away from research on a larger scale.

- Syntax is slower to write. Copying and pasting is a non trivial operation. In order to benefit for the clean representation of the process, you need to spend a good amount of time ordering the boxes around. The representation can be misleading (wires crossing, overlapping boxes)

- Very low density of information per pixel compared to any textual language (if no zoom feature). Any long name that has to be rendered on screen become fugly. Since we tend to order the boxes in a process from left to right, only the equivalent of a single line of code can be represented on the screen at once when displaying the names of variable and functions.

- Functions / sub diagrams generally sit in their own separate window (or worse, file). This discourage making functions, to a degree depending on how good/bad the UI is. Getters and setters in OO visual code are a pain.

- Execution order is not guaranteed to be sequential, so no try/catch structure. Error handling has to be explicit. Witch mean dragging along an additional error variable all over the place.

- The graph representation doesn't translate well into source control and diff tools.

- If you need to fire an arbitrary number of parallel stuff at runtime, you still need a "call this asynchronously" structure.

Coming from a LabVIEW dev. The benefits described in the article are still absolutely valid.

1. I don't mind if the science is not perfect. If the science conformed 100% with what we know it would not be science fiction, it would simply be fiction.

I have heard people say that hard science fiction has to simply not contradict something we know. And that is a whole genre of course.

2. But what does bother me is when books, or movies, violate laws of human behavior. A perfectly gentle person suddenly becomes a killer, or an immoral law breaker sees the error of her ways and suddenly starts doing something to make amends.

3. What fascinates me about the books that Sagan grew up -- the classic age -- is the weird direction people thought science would go in. Radiation changes genes? Okay, instead of cancer it might give us super powers. There is current in your nervous tissue? Maybe you can "harness" it to produce currents etc.
It is a desktop only application at the moment. The mobile version will come later.
Yeah, it's not really either/or, it's more an issue of how many decades do you have.

Memristive 'learning' is analog, by definition. Implementation of modern ML algos is a very long ways off, if they're at all useful by then. Think of it more as trying to invent a modern image classification system in 1957 when all your transistors cost $5 and are vacuum tubes. Oh, and things like a compiler aren't even dreamed of yet. It's gonna happen, but after you retire.

Specifically, you can't assume infinite impedance in the system; there are no 'bits'. You have to characterize the whole circuit around the 'memory' part and can't partition it off like you would with a normal transistor. After-all memristors kinda are a sneak circuit.

That said, there are no issues with bit length in analog designs, so, in theory, they should be continuous/infinite in their 'resolution'. Generally, memristive learning should have near infinite 'fidelity' but will likely require a lot of time to teach. Think of this type of memristive learning as a vinyl record: the sound is incredible, nearly perfect, but not very portable and hard to reproduce. Current ML stuff is more like an mp3 file: not a perfect representation of the sound, but small, cheap, and good enough.

So, in this view, trying to run analytics on the mp3 file is fine, you can use ML algos on them, plug some python at them, Bob's your uncle. But trying to do the same thing on vinyl isn't going to happen. Sure, the math is the same-ish, but the practicalities are totally different, you'd have to get an army of undergrads to just sort them and set them on physical record-players. That's the level of difference we're talking about here.
In this work we didn't explore classification performance characteristics. I suspect the nature of the misclassification at lower levels of domain data would revolve around the ways language usage differs in reviews vs common english. "Blockbuster" may have generally negative or neutral sentiment in a wikipedia based language model, perhaps most often referring to the failed rental chain. In the context of movie reviews "blockbuster" is almost always universally positive.
The recommended way, at least for AWS, is to have multiple accounts. One for production, and then however many more for test and development. Separate accounts let you run TF changes and know you will not impact production.

TF can be tricky to grok at first especially if you don't have everything in TF. But, I couldn't imagine managing more than a server or 2 without it or something similar at this point. Once you get into VPCs, IAMs, etc..., some type of tool is really required.

I'm also a little confused about your transparency comment. IME, tf is very clear what it is going to do in a plan. The current state files are also just json, and easy to read/search if you're not sure about something.
EMM386 was usually run from autoexec.bat. But HIMEM was a driver installed via config.sys. I think there were some complications with the latter with "reboot to DOS".
Yes! Hi Eddie, I'm Kingdon we met at RailsConf :D

I've been using Kops with Digital Ocean for some time on-and-off, comparing it to the new managed offering which I've been using in limited release, and it works great (either way).

The main disadvantage of Kops being (besides that it's Alpha only, and not managed), I will pay for all of the nodes I use. It should be clear that managed k8s offers a direct cost savings pretty much everywhere it's offered.

(It would be clear, if AWS was not currently leading the broader market and offering EKS with a price model basically contradicting every other vendor's.)
The idea in California is:

1. Try to stop fires from occurring at dangerous times (high winds), when there's a high risk that the fire will get out of control.

2. Do controlled burns during safe times (low winds), to clear out fuel without killing people or burning down homes.

Unfortunately there's been far too much fire suppression, rather than controlled burns, over the past century in CA [1]. So we're dealing with a pretty huge backlog in addition to climate change.

> Now it's Amazon selling bootleg crap at scale. What's their excuse? Some variant of "move fast, break things", no doubt.

Seems to me Amazon felt they couldn't compete against eBay or AliExpress and still be "low on prices". Essentially they chose that market (including copying sellers products and rebranding them as Essentials) over legitimate sales.
The problem is when the packages disappear from the mirrors. Even if you're ok with running older and possibly insecure packages, it makes it more difficult to update. Best to just keep with the supported versions and avoid the headaches.
According to Harvard (https://www.harvard.edu/about-harvard/harvard-glance):

"The Harvard College financial aid program requires no contribution from Harvard families with annual incomes below $65,000; asks from 0 to 10% of income for those with incomes up to $150,000; and expects proportionally more from families with incomes above $150,000."

If your family makes <$150k, it sounds like Harvard costs up to about as much as the (public) University of Minnesota charges in-state residents. (Depending on your situation, Harvard may cost substantially less.) If you borrowed half of the $15k annually (the max 10% of $150k income), that's not an insane burden when paid over 30 years.

This seems fairly balanced. Granted they could zero out fees for families further up the income scale, but on the other hand "rich kids go to Harvard free" is maybe not the best use of the money.

I moved to BSD world when Debian adopted SystemD and I am happy that I did. It is often said that Linux is more stable then Windows, well BSD could be considered like Granite compared to Linux. I really love it.
OpenBSD for the edge, and FreeBSD for internals and workstations.
