Most of the kubernetes toolchain provides nice support for delineating the requirements from separate cloud providers, too. Compared to most alternatives, a little HELM magic to support hybrid cloud installations is a piece of cake.
Kind of wasteful, no? I prefer to buy stuff that lasts, even if it costs more.
> And if it doesn't really exist, how can you use it as an external argument against theism?

This conflates evil (a sentiment that we rational beings possess) with bad, one of the elements of metaethics. "Evil" is a nice label we use; "bad" is an ethical descriptor with any number of (non-religious) metaethical origins: consequentialism, deontology, virtue, &c.

The typical argument against against theism (or at least any sort of theism that claims that god is both omnibenevolent and omnipotent) is that there are bad things in the world: murder, theft, starvation, &c. When asked whether a good god would allow these things, we find ourselves dealing with (1) Euthyphro, and (2) incompatible properties (omnipotence and free will, omnibenevolence and divine command, &c).
Real question: does anyone see anywhere on the site where they say what LTE/3G/GSM bands it supports? Or TD-LTE vs FD-LTE?

> Being able to recognise it's a problem is already a big achievement, acting on it only follows naturally once you've realised how much time you waste.

I suppose this means I might have bigger problems if I recognise how much of a waste of time it is but don't feel massively compelled to change behaviour.
The same thing with my father. Windows was overkill for him. He just needed the browser and printer. Ubuntu is easy to set up and maintain.
> - And -- although Windows-specific: the Start menu was something you could actually use.

New Start menu:

1. Click Windows key

2. type (typically) three letters of the program you want to run

3. Click <Enter>

That's 4 keystrokes, bound only by the time it takes the user to physically make the keypresses.

User doesn't need any knowledge of how programs are categorized, nor know a hierarchy of categories.

The process by which the system displays programs matching what the user is typing happens as fast as possible.

You can even speak to your damned computer and the start menu will probably react accordingly.

None of these actions require the user to even know they have a harddrive, or a system path, etc.

So modern users have a discoverable, accessible, realtime-responsive start menu that requires minimal cognitive load.

Remind me: how does Windows 98 Start Menu compare to that?
Not sure I understand - are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? The podcast describes how a well-intended government intervention in the free market and how it led to rampant price gouging.

I would be more than thrilled if we got rid of the free market entirely. But that seems unrealistic, and if we're going to have it, the government needs to be very much on guard against saying "We can fix these market inefficiencies by letting these people make more profit." I maintain that if the government had instead caused pharmaceutical companies to make less profit from their regular drugs, orphan drugs wouldn't have looked so unappealing in comparison.

That's not what I meant. I haven't used PowerShell enough to have an opinion on it, but in theory the designers of PowerShell would have had the opportunity to observe text-based shells of the past and improve upon the paradigm.

(For instance, I prefer using eshell to a traditional terminal, because eshell [in addition to giving the user access to Lisp as an additional scripting/interface language] it is not only the 'command line' part of the buffer which accepts input, but potentially other parts of the buffer; you can use Plan 9 style terminal features; cd to multiple directories simultaneously etc..)
That's sometimes unavoidable. If there's a clear bug somewhere, fixing it will sometimes also affect queries/plans that weren't visibly affected by the bug. That's especially the case around costing issues - some queries might have regressed noticeably due to a bug since the last major version, but fixing it might affect other queries negatively (in a minor version). Postgres/we try to avoid that, but sometimes that's the most sensible way forward (and I assume the same is true for mysql etc).

Same here. I work in the systematic trading business and I gave Notebooks an honest shot, but in the end using Pycharm and scripts along with the ipython console is the best workflow I found. I can easily send blocks of code to the console with a single keypress inside Pycharm, making interactive work a breeze. However, all my code is in nice idiomatic python files that can be imported, refactored and easily version controlled. The same workflow can be done in VIM, Emacs or pretty much any other editor with an ipython console integration.

There's really no reason to assume one way or the other that the universe has a reproductive mechanism, whether sexual or asexual, or some other way. The parent comment was just so sure that:

- Consciousness belongs to self-replicating agents only

- The universe does not/cannot replicate

These are both silly assumptions. In fact, I'd be more surprised if the universe didn't replicate in some form.

I'd add that The C Programming Language should be seen as a tutorial (albeit an older one that no longer is fully up-to-date in best practices, in my experience) that can serve as a reference in a pinch (it skimps a bit on the corner cases if memory serves). Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment, conversely, should be seen as a reference book with fantastic examples and discussion on error handling -- yes, you can use it as a tutorial, but it's a tad dense and you'll likely never need a lot of it.
This sounds kinda like my little DOM component library: https://github.com/guscost/protozoa

It’s a cool approach, and this one looks more fleshed out. But I’d still think in 2018 it’s almost always a premature/inappropriate optimization to forgo a virtual DOM, unless you’re doing something pretty far out there.

That really depends on what you're caching. Sometimes e.g. you might want to have local caches on application servers, not because the database would be too slow or couldn't take the load, but because the roundtrip time to the database make page loads too slow if you hit the DB every time.

Or you have some complex ranking/relationship/aggregation calculations - it might computationally be infeasible for the database, as hard as people worked on its efficiency, to calculate such a query on each request...
My first real (i.e. work) usage of a GUI was DECWindows[1] on a VAXStation, which felt like a real GUI for getting work done. I believe it and Solaris GUI share a common heritage.

Yes, the problem is that with null hypothesis testing, the two contradictory hypothesis are usually: "effect is exactly 0.00000000..." and "there is an effect different than 0.000000000...". The problem stems from the fact that people pit an infinitesimally small hypothesis against an infinitely large one. Rejecting an infinitesimally small hypothesis is very very easy. The tiniest of experimental bias will allow rejection if you have enough data.

It would be impressive if "There is an effect different than zero" was rejected (but no one would ever be able to do this). Science should try to reject finitely large hypotheses, at a minimum something like: "effect is larger than some reasonable margin to account for experimental bias and imperfect tools". At least a small chunk of the hypothesis space should be rejected for your experiment to be worth something. You sorta get that with confidence intervals since you can see how far the lower bound is from zero.
Agreed. There's two things that seem to be a reoccurring theme in every redesign nowadays, lower contrast and more whitespace. One of the modern design trends I can't stand is buttons with icons and no labels, sometimes without mouse over text as well.
> I used to go to newegg, but have had a few issues with their third party sellers (product never shipped after ordering) so stopped going there.

I have zero interest in shopping a platform. I didn’t like ebay one bit. I’d be perfectly happy to buy from amazon or newegg but if they insist on making it difficult to do that I’ll go elsewhere.

I’m not even saying they can’t be a platform, just make it easy for me to turn that part off.
PayPal solved that problem already though, right?
Years ago, studies showed that people who worked physically hard jobs spent many hours zoning out in front of the TV. They were too exhausted to do anything else.

I think pointless browsing online has largely taken the place of zoning out in front of the TV. I am bad about it when I'm sick and exhausted.

So, for starters, work on your general health so you aren't so tired all the time. Second, find more satisfying means to meet your needs.

Because browsing twitter and the like is about like eating a single potato chip at at time all day long as your only sustenance. You never really feel full and you wonder why you are growing fatter. If you occasionally have the equivalent of Christmas dinner where you are so stuffed you couldn't eat another bite, then you can stop mindlessly eating potato chips.

(as just one example:)

Social media is frequently a substitute for a real social life. Establishing meatier friendships may have you less invested in refreshing Twitter all day long. (No offense intended to my twitter buddies, some of whom are delightful and really enhance my life.)
When I was at Google, my team and other SRE teams around us adopted a similar approach to sensitive operations - deploys and data migrations and the like. We'd have one of us on the keyboard operating, and another looking over our shoulder. The operator would type a command and they verbally confirm the action they were going to take. Their partner would look it over and give verbal acknowledgement. We certainly still had mistakes, but I found that environment very helpful - and it was an almost necessary part of zero-blame postmortems, because every action was not one person, but equally shared between two.

There are important health differences between refined carbohydrates and carbohydrates that are naturally very high in dietary fiber like sweet potatoes.

https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/carbohydrates

Sure, refined carbohydrates (and sugar) are empty calories that are better avoided if you want to lose weight.

Foods rich in fiber like sweet potatoes, oatmeal, whole grains, peas, and beans contain carbohydrates, but are nonetheless healthy foods you should be eating.
It's always a new number. Shortly before the cards expire, you're issued a new one. That's how it's been for me for this whole century.

I have to agree with you. The shiny stuff syndrome is spreading like cancer in the front-end world.

The only way to set this right is: when you create something, don’t sell it as a one size fit for all solution. State the tradeoffs as loud and clear as possible. Guide the users on what point you necessarily need the library and point them to simpler alternatives when needed.

This is something I deeply respect about Dan Abramov. He did this with Redux. Now that he’s in React, I see a lot of this culture in React docs as well these days.

Bottomline: The responsibility is on the creators to stop spreading this shiny stuff syndrome.
All of those add up to under $50/month. When I was a kid, everyone around (in small town midwest) had a cable package for over $100/mo and many were by no definition rich.

Amazon is also very reactive. They eventually take things down, but they rely on user feedback to notice that something is going wrong. And that can be gamed as well.
Democracy and authoritarianism are both forms of government, and that is the sense of the words being used in the sentence ("Current government models, democratic and authoritarian alike, …"). You've chosen to reinterpret one of them as an adjective unconnected to the thing it describes (government models) and then criticized the parent for a category error.

This is tough for me. Any tips on how to bypass the contradiction that is "I am too tired to work out, but I am tired because I don't work out?"
Replace strncpy and strcpy altogether with calls to snprintf. It takes a fixed buffer size, terminates correctly with the null character, and safely does everything strncpy does and more. It's a POSIX standard, so it should be portable to most systems too.

And yes, maybe it'll impact performance. Worry about that _after_ you profile your code and have the numbers to show it -- I'd bet good money that 95% of developers will never need to worry about it.

I use a similar system when deploying builds to production. The deployment itself is a multi-step process where I have to pick out two artifacts, verify that their git commit hashes are correct, then pick out the correct jenkins jobs and run them in a specific order (providing artifact numbers as input). At every stage I point to my screen, read out the information and only click on things that I'm pointing at. This may be anecdotal but multiple times I have stopped myself from clicking on the wrong thing only after saying its name out loud.

Whether or not the criticism is justified, shutting down all criticism of a female applicant with explicit accusations of misogyny and trolling is wrong. The guy is literally banned and his thread of comments moved on the basis that he dared to criticize a female applicant.

It's also surprising that this got buried with no upvotes and no comments, was it mod-nuked?

On the political level, (putting aside whether gender is actually a factor in this specific case)- I actually don't mind diversity hires in situations like this where you have some sort of representative body. What sticks in the throat is the attempt to have it both ways. When people in power make statements that X (objectively less qualified candidate) is equally qualified as the other candidates, and that ALSO criticizing female candidates is disallowed and they have better "perspective", it's dishonest which normally leads to trouble.

Decisions should be transparent, if gender is going to be a factor, whichever side of the debate you sit on that should be made transparent, and disallowing criticism is obviously a bad idea.

As someone else pointed out, the discoverability isn't as good, but I think this has more to do with the fact that the start menu items aren't just all neatly collected in one location on your disk and by the amount of space the new menu uses, like if I have to always scroll to find what I want, it already lost the race against a list that shows most if not all applications at once.

You could have different personas on different sites and decide how much to participate with different groups. This is harder to do with Twitter and Facebook because they only run one instance.

While I get that that's more money than a lot of people have to spend, all of those combined are cheaper than a typical non-basic cable or satellite plan even today - after they know they need to compete with streaming services.

So anyone that could afford content then is probably able to afford it now, but they have better options - so they might choose not to.
