By "requiring" I mean in terms of social expectations, not government laws. Many policies, e.g. lunch breaks, are "required" by social norms, not law. (Only a minority of states require lunch breaks; bathroom breaks are not required for the most part either: https://www.lexisnexis.com/legalnewsroom/labor-employment/b/...) E.g. Most tech companies offer far more than the minimum FMLA required leave. That reflects "'values' that employers come up with voluntarily." That's also based on social expectations--a tech company that only offered the legally required minimum leave would get a lot of bad publicity for violating social norms, even though it would be legal to do so. Finally, it's not "discriminatory" even though childless people can't take advantage of such leave.

That's very helpful advice, thanks a lot.
The questions being asked have nothing to do with solving the types of problems that my experience is indicative of, or of the teams/projects/products I've lead. Nor are they types of questions that even measure for engineer work experience and how they approach solving the types of real world problems that 10 minutes of white boarding a bit counting and funky array manipulations alg won't show. They are questions that are really catered towards recent grads who that I haven't think about or practice since college, and then not getting the job because of that is strange to me. Especially when they could be asking me interesting real-world technical stuff like on multi-threading, concurrency vs parallelism, performance optimization, more solution architecture are parts of the tech stack, project management, team managements, hiring strategies, dealing with low performers, etc. It's also humorous when companies aren't doing anything technically sophisticated, yet their interviewing like they are, for example doing NLP through third-party APIs, or when the most sophisticated part of their stack is using two caching solutions with Mem-Cache and Redis, or just writing APIs the read/write to and from a couple different data storage, systems, etc.
Contemporary Views on Serverless and Implications
Being non-free and non-auditable, including proprietary SDKs that can gather tracking info/IDs, connecting to Facebook (even when the app is something other than a FB client)... Stuff that's quite comparable to what the video is talking about.
I would love to see this idea translated into event planning/calendaring. Probabilistic party planning. I want to see what might be happening tonight in addition to what is definitely happening.

"If 5 people show up at my house tomorrow evening, I'll hold a poker night." 10 people were invited and 4 of them RSVP yes and 2 of them RSVP no. It looks like there's a 95% chance I'm holding a poker night tomorrow.

"The X team has a monthly meeting on the 1st, never fail. They haven't decided on the location yet, just that it's on the North Side." As the team members pick possible locations, the possible locations appear more distinct until one is chosen.
release early and often. even if just to yourself. i like to see something working, and then gradually tweak it and add new features.

i just went though that exact motion with a small app that generates math exercises for my son. i needed an inputbox for parameters. i was searching through the documentation of pharo spec for the smallest example that would let me get started. once i had it, adding new features as i learned more about the framework became a breeze.
Based on my reading of the documentation, it doesn't. So you'd be responsible for taking a backup via pg_dumpall, and restoring it post-upgrade.

I upvoted you because while I disagree that browsers are the bigger issue (many people use mobile devices for important things, and the less tech literate, the higher the chance they do all their online stuff with them, I'll just claim that), you didn't bring browsers up, you just responded to that with a fair point... and the comment you responded to didn't mention browers to distract either, so it seems silly to me that there's now this hot potato of who distracted from what in play. Good points all around, that's what I'm seeing.
I think the older engineer can do things a lot differently than the younger. Maybe it's that there's so many people with two years dev experience now who are considered Senior level, even though they have little people management and actual team lead experience, and can't appropriate scope project, break them up, mentor people up, etc.?
Much better than the privacy and security of iOS, which has had hundreds of millions of users infected with XCodeGhost. All while allowing much more useful applications to be built.

The fact that the application must request permission to see that data gets those applications extra scrutiny from not only the user but the app store and third party security researchers as well.
tl;dw: the presence of air, solves the propellant-related issues (i.e. this is an electroaerodynamic drive, not a reaction-thruster), allowing this engine to provide, novelly, several whole Newtons of thrust; but scaling it to a practical size increases the thrust requirements by (overall) a high-degree polynomial, and will therefore likely require further scientific effort.

Peasants were obligated to provide some services to the nobility, and sometimes taxed in nature, but real taxes were either from monopolies or the landowners.

It's like saying that really consumers are being taxed here because they are the ultimate source of revenue for Apple. True but you can shift the distribution of this burden between consumers and Apple's owners.
You cannot "keep apps installed on your own iDevices" because without paying that fee, you have to re-sign and reinstall your apps every week.
This reminds me of the steel plant in Austria that employs a handful of people (I think the headline number was 14) to make half a million tons of steel a year.

Mining and steel and all that sort of industry isn't vanishing; nations can still have these industries, and nations that used to have them can decide to have them again - they're just not going to be the big employers that they once were.

If the US goes back into domestic coal mining in a big way, I don't see all those coal mining jobs from decades past coming back.

When I started getting migraines as a teen the doctor tried Ibuprofen first, but it didn't help at all. He then tried Synflex, this contains naproxen, and it helped.

In NZ / Singapore I have to visit a doctor to get synflex, so I usually just visit the pharmacy while I'm in Taiwan and pick up ~50 or so Naposin pills (generic naproxen) while I'm there. Costs ~$10 usd.

Never needed to go any stronger.

That said -- no, that's not the same thing at all. Barring anomalous conditions, VMs run as long as you keep them running. They won't be reaped and rescheduled onto some other node in the cluster, whether by automated rebalancing processes or by manual `kubectl delete po...` or `kubectl drain`. You can easily set up a VM that will behave more-or-less like conventional hardware if we ignore the perf hit.

This is a pretty simple thing. The reason people say you need to make your apps "12 factor" when you go to k8s is because it doesn't work well if your app cares about state. Databases care deeply about state. You can't just kill a DB server and spin up a new one to pick up where it left off. You can't parallelize a DB workload by spinning up 8 little DB nodes. It's not a web server and it just doesn't work like that. Things like CockroachDB exist specifically because normal databases don't work like that.

This is where people usually bring up things like annotations, labels, StatefulSets, etc. First, note that the facilities that accommodate stateful workloads are not priorities for Kubernetes and are generally not well-tested or consistent. This wouldn't be a news story or an independent project if they were.

Second, please realize you're doing all of that work to try and make Kubernetes do something it's not really designed to do, with potential negative impact on the availability and scheduling processes for the applications that do work well on Kubernetes, when you could just spin a VM and avoid all of these issues entirely. There's no reason to put a production DB on k8s other than cargo culting.

To be honest my info was shaky but I just googled and it seems it's kind of like a placebo effect but a good one. There was one study where

>After eight weeks 60 per cent of patients receiving acupuncture, including with toothpicks, reported feeling better. Clinical improvements were reported by just 39 per cent of those who had conventional treatments.

but it didn't make much difference if they stuck in needles or just prodded them with toothpicks. (quote from https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/toothpick-acupuncture-... dicussed by NHS here https://www.nhs.uk/news/medical-practice/acupuncture-relieve...)

And even if it's kind of placebo, if the patient feels better that's something, without the risk of an opioid epidemic.

>This is where things are at, whether you like it or not, especially for the working poor who can't afford to fork over a few hundred dollars every time something feels "off".

But you think they'll fork over hundreds of dollars for misguided tech toys that won't even address their actual medical problem?

>Hook up sensors to wearables, catch diseases early and at a massive scale, cure or treat them before they get extremely expensive.

Which diseases are you talking about? Hypertension? Diabetes? Obesity? Smoking? You don't need fancy medical toys to diagnose these problems, yet they're responsible for most morbidity.

Do you think a medical toy will somehow detect cancer? How exactly do you think this would work? Someone feels "off" one day so they plug in a "device"... ECG? Ultrasound? Urine analysis?

>To me it looks like it's the only way out of the ripoff "healthcare" scheme we're in right now.

The ripoff isn't from physicians practicing medicine, it's from outsiders who interfere with the patient-physician relationship to get their slice of the pie, ie insurance companies, healthcare MBAs, device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies. You think tech will replace physicians, but it's obvious you're completely misguided regarding the actual source of problems in healthcare.

To be clear, OP may have a case. Just not under antitrust statute. (I’m not sure the public can bring antitrust charges anyway.)
this reminds me of another fear that i have run into: the worry that what i am doing is to big to complete.

i'll definitely not create a new programming language if my goal is not the creation of the language itself. (i do have some ideas for a language, but they are not the project in my vision.)

i too have a project that i have been working on for more than a decade. i am still working on it, but instead of directly aiming for the big vision, i have been searching for smaller side goals that i could reach with that project.

so instead of starting with a road-trip across the country, i look for a reason to get to the next block. once there i find another and another, until i worked enough on it that i could work up the courage to aim for the next city. i am still far away from the actual goal, but in the meantime i crossed a state line, and i have at least achieved something.
I am surprised that on opting out of ad tracking in Android, they found that the opt-out flag was set to true, but the size of the tracking payload shot up i.e. more attributes being tracked. Not sure what to make of it?

Also if you have done any enhancement to Lua/LuaJIT and want help or talk about it I'm glad to hear from you.

There is an parser/transpiler using lemon/re2c that can transpile almost any Lua source to LJS see here https://github.com/mingodad/ljs/tree/master/lua2ljs .

Here are some non trivial projects converted to LJS:

ljsjit at https://github.com/mingodad/ljsjit

ljs-5.1 at https://github.com/mingodad/ljs-5.1

ZeroBraneStudio port at https://github.com/mingodad/ZeroBraneStudioLJS

The next steps that I have in mind now is to add the remaining syntax sugar like:

-C/C++/Java/Javascript for loop

-Switch statement

-Class statement

-const declarations

- type checking (actually https://fascinatedbox.github.io/lily/ has those and it seems a good one to port/add)

-Understand and make it easier for other people understand the implementation of LuaJIT.

No doubt about it, in terms of active reactors and output[1]. But if "the lead" means developing micro/safer/other kinds of nuclear power, I think that's a role that is currently up for grabs. While I personally think even investing in large-scale nuclear plants would be better than burning coal, that seems politically impossible, so it'd have to be something else (and a pretty compelling something else to outdo PV given how cheap that has become).

'"marginal, incremental improvements in energy and carbon efficiency cannot do the job and that what is needed is a structural transformation.” In other words, 2 degrees requires radicalism.'

There are such huge opportunities for new jobs and industries and re-organization of society. That coupled with prospect of reasonably predictable doom makes me wonder what on earth goes on in so many people's minds. Why are we not all soiling ourselves in fear? Do all the adults out there really want to leave this world in such a mess? Especially when something can be done now.

I very recently rebuilt my website so that the entire UI is vector-based, mostly with SVGs (a few places with HTML entities). I also set it up to slurp the minimized SVGs into the top of the html, then I render each SVG on the page with the format:

<svg><use xlink:href="#svg-name" /></svg>

...rather than making a new HTTP connection for each image.

This dramatically reduced the number of HTTP connections to load the site. There's one initial connection for the html, one for the css, one for js, and one for fonts (Google Fonts). I do use JPEG for photos, but those are lazy-loaded, so the initial page paint is very snappy despite our wimpy server. And it looks crispy on all screen sizes (even in milk!).

Some have said that SVG on the web is dying, but it can work so beautifully that I hope the nay-sayers are mistaken.
Google is close to a trillion dollar company and a cash machine. While it's true that Google can employee dozens of law offices for many years, there are many other well funded law firms that would sue Google in a heartbeat, if they thought they had a chance. Risk vs reward and they'd even be financed by other parties.

So my guess is that we're not at that point yet. What Google does is public so lawyers know it too. It has to be illegal, not just scummy.
