Other way around, you'd be surprised at how much infrastructure you can buy by forgoing AWS's offerings (for large work scales.)

For small companies, you may not be able to afford infrastructure people, and moving fast makes way more sense. There's little point in paying for an ops person when you have very little infrastructure.

At a certain scale though, AWS stops being cost effective. You begin to have room in your budget for ops people, you get room to afford datacenter costs, and you can start paying for a cloud architect to fill out internal or hybrid cloud offerings using openshift or openstack.

It's all about the right tool for the right job.
Is there any type of analysis done on how effective each interviewer is at gauging a good candidate? How effective a particular question is? Or even how effective each type of interview is (behavioral, algorithms, practical, systems design, etc)?

For example, let's say a previous candidate that was brought in as an L4, rose to L6 extremely quickly while constantly getting great performance reviews - maybe you could look back at the type of questions asked, and the type of feedback that candidate received.

Additionally, let's say a previous candidate ended up being a non-performer and was quickly let go, you could also look back at their initial interview.

Maybe everything could be fed into ML, and once you have a model in place you can start getting signals based off a candidate's replies to behavioral interview questions, or certain characteristics displayed during their systems design interview, etc.

Well, except it doesn't, because it necessarily either doesn't work or it is centrally controlled.

What does help is simply encryption and decentralized services, no need for DRM.
Similar situation here. I do badly want the Toyota i-Road for my commute, but they seem to be making very slow progress with that vehicle.

Edit: I so badly want a green, cheap vehicle for my commute and ideally a solution for first and last mile public transit connection. My own i-Road and rentable ones for public transit connection would be amazing. Only problem might be the huge pickups with their brutish drivers everywhere in the US.
That is still way too much, a 4k RGB 8 bit frame is about 25 MB, and many frames could be operated on at once, but I doubt the equivalent of around 2000 uncompressed 4k frames (less depending on 10 bit color) need to be in memory all at once.
Yet the smart car never really took off, even in said high-density areas.
Nah, interviews are easier than promo committees. It's sometimes faster to leave, return and get hired at L+1 than to just get promoted there.
A few years ago, I interviewed at such a company. I left humility and empathy in my feedback to said company. The level of contempt I felt from the interviewers left me traumatized. I'm not joking.

I've ignored every potential job ad I have seen from said search and ads company ever since.
I agree that it's a disease, but I believe it's simply a disease of luxury. Americans are wealthy enough to buy the most convenient car possible and afford the gas costs that go with it. I drive small cars and once in a while with passengers we feel cramped, or I have to borrow my dads truck to haul some wood for a project or some plants from the nursery.
Any plans to focus on Riot as a, let's say, WhatsApp/Signal alternative too from what it actually seems as of now which is just being Slack/IRC alternative?

And with that any chances an easier way of having an ID/username? @<user>:matrix.org seems extremely easy and convenient for me but may not be the same for my friends and family without whom any messaging platform is useless.

PS. Totally rooting for you guys! I wish Signal was federated though.

80s colorized movies looked pretty terrible. That was at least half the problem.

I’d say we’re actually more open to black and white media these days. It doesn’t have the ‘stink of the old’ that it had in the couple of decades after color TVs first became cheap. Now it’s viewed more as a stylistic choice and not simply an imperfection to be fixed.

these are different than SSRIs and not very frequently prescribed nowadays.
They don't hold the world's information. They are an advertising company with a search engine for public websites, which are all hosted outside of Google.
Easy, just tell everyone that anyone can study STEM as long as they work hard. Do you know Noether, Marie Curie, Grace Hopper, Chien-Shiung Wu, and many more female scientists and engineers are household names? They are featured in mass media, in text books, and in our bedtime stories.

Gender bias in STEM? That's a god damn first-world problem.
How likely is it that Google will do an ecommerce play?
I suggest measuring; there's overhead to the failed exec() call certainly. It probably depends on a lot of other factors too (which, if any rc files are read in each mode, how fast your shell is to startup &c.).
And thus the reason I even enjoyed badminton. I thought it was dumb and I'd hate it. Turns out it was fun. Probably haven't played it since high school though... All well. Maybe when I have kids, lol!
Not just the network overhead, the maintenance and setup overhead. I can spin up an entire full stack in multiple accounts just by creating a CloudFormation template.

I’ve done stress testing by spinning up and tearing down multiple VMs played with different size databases, autoscaled read replicas for performance. Ran a spot fleet, etc.

When you need things now you don’t have time to requisition hardware and get it sent to your colo.
Gauss proved you can construct a regular n-gon for a prime of the form 2^(2^k)+1
Well, of course, this would be about real-time access, which is not something covered by GDPR, which would be the basis for interoperability. So, you could move to Bookface, and then your friends would have the option to allow Bookface access to their data on your behalf, in so far as they want to allow you to access it, in just the same way they would allow another user on Facebook to access it.
Depends on what your utility function is.

If it's "as close to the nature right before apes became humans", it's easy to answer (though hard to justify on any grounds other than quasi-religous belief in Gaia or something). If it's "planet with more plants and animals" it could be quite different, and any honest scientist would answer it "we don't really know, but here are some considerations..."
There are often problems with cats and dogs eating poisoned rodents. This can be a serious emergency, but it develops rather slowly at first, and is often treated with blood transfusions, Vitamin K and lots of patience.

One way to lessen this effect would be to use doses so low that the rats will die but which would be diluted and metabolized by the time the animal actually dies.

The most popular rat poisons involve some sort of anti-clotting agent, to ensure a high mortality while keeping the animal alive long enough not to discourage other rats from eating the bait.

Overall the idea is probably to kill a higher percentage of the rats than of all the other species.

I believe (but I don't know for certain) that invertebrate scavengers may be immune to those poisons.
GET LAMP Archives: ~70 interviews with text adventure luminaries, 2006-08
The UI is mostly raw Javascript, with a bit of jquery. It's all in one JS file and not minimized, so you can view the source in the browser if you want to see what it looks like. (Spoiler: it looks like a disgusting pile of hacks, just like all game UI code tends to).

The puzzle generator is in C++.

I'll put both on Github, but they require a bit of cleanup work first.
This is a complete red herring. Within reason you can see where your money went. This is what a FOIA request is for.
Netflix (AWS) and Twitter (GCP) seem to have different opinions.

I know for a fact GE is moving a lot of their workload to AWS.
Cloudflare | Product Manager | Austin, TX | Onsite | https://cloudflare.com

We build many of the new products Cloudflare releases (like Workers and 1.1.1.1) in Austin. I'm looking for a product manager, or an engineer who would like to become a product manager, to work on many of our developer-facing products. You will have a lot of responsibility, a lot of ownership, and the ability to have an impact on how people build things on the Internet.

Shoot me an email -> zack at cloudflare
I doubt this is an exhaustive list.

They left out the rats ;-)
>80s colorized movies looked pretty terrible.

They have their issues, for sure, but viewers, as I understand it, weren't the complainers, it was mostly the professional critics and artsy types who derided them. Joe and Jill Public cared little, as far as I understand it.

They complained about "artistic intent" and respecting it, etc., etc.
The thesis of this article was also explored in the beautiful, emotional and brain-twisting short story /Story of your life/ by Ted Chiang, with a delicious bit of the principle of least action known from modern classical mechanics mixed in, in which a linguist's perception of time is fundamentally changing in the course of her studies of an alian language. Very much recommended. (This story was the basis for the 2016 movie /Arrival/.)
Riot is already a pretty servicable Signal / WhatsApp alternative. You can start conversations by username or email in one on one rooms that you can encrypt and they show up as separate entries besides the groupchats in Riots UI.
Can these capacitors be used in any way for faster charging of the car? Like have a capacitor bank pre-charged and then unload it into a car for much faster charging.
Mmm...I dream of bringing a diesel quad cab Toyota Hilux or a Hiace from Central America up to Canada. The Hiace is the coolest minibus. Heck, I would even take a Ford Ranger quad cab diesel.
I can only speak to one office so I shouldn't have assumed it was the case company wide. I only know two things:

1) At the office that my friend (who is also an interviewer) works, there is a pool that the interviewers collaboratively built and generally select from. They aren't required to choose from this pool, but 95% of them do because they contributed to it.

2) At MTV there's either a pool or the number of interviewers is so low that the same questions are repeated over and over at high frequency for several weeks, making it trivial to know which ones are likely to show up. I know because the questions I found on the sketchy Chinese forums were exactly the ones I encountered on my onsite interview.
How would you deal with the risk of Cambridge Analytica style entities using all the third party app ability?
I am so jealous of MetaOcaml.
Traditional companies are now just as bad anyways, Experian's website is giving me errors and the number to call has absolutely no way of reaching a human, all of the options in the menu just lead to voice clips. I found another phone number for Experian support and it's the same thing. I've searched up and down about my specific error (which is a generic "technical difficulties" error) and I've looked for alternate ways to contact and I've exhausted everything I can find. So, I guess I'll have to file my dispute through snail mail, because it is literally not possible to reach Experian if you wanted to.

Customer service is expensive. I've had more luck with the tech companies because at least they sometimes pretend to care whereas some of these traditional companies would rather you died in a fire than got assistance from them.

The only time I've ever really gotten good customer service was from businesses that people could decide not to deal with if they didn't like the service.
Synapse, the reference impl server, was always pretty slow. It got a lot faster with its Python 3 transition and there is a Go server in development that I think the core team means to focus on once 1.0 is out.

There are also native clients like Fractal and Quaternion that use GTK / Qt UIs that are just as fast as any other native app.
> Do you see the irony?

Nope, there isn't any.

> You really need to read more about intrinsic value before you dismiss it.

Nope, I don't think I do. But feel free to make a concise argument as to how I am wrong.

> Your arguments have been made and debated in academia, some of them have been refuted, and some of them are still being argued.

By anyone serious, or just theologians? The fact that something is "debated in academia" does not really mean anything, unfortunately.

> Most of what you're saying is exactly as convincing as someone who argues that God must exist because nothing can exist without a cause.

Well, except that the gap in that argument can trivially be shown in one sentence.

> Also given how grayed out most of your responses are, maybe consensus isn't self evidently preferable.

More importantly, it shows that consensus is all that ultimately matters, whether that is good or not, which was exactly my point.
It sounds like you have a preference for choosing portable interfaces when it comes to storage. And you've abstracted out the non-portable lambda interface.

My position isn't don't use AWS as a hosting provider, it's that you ought to avoid being locked into a proprietary non-portable interface when possible.
I dislike modern notions of abdicating responsibility for one's own actions by pointing to other problems.

I believe we're all personally responsible for our output. You can have the worst input in the history of mankind - and this should generate sympathy, understanding and a desire to help - but your output is still entirely your responsibility.

The are circumstances where someone can be considered incapable of reasonable output or the reasonable processing of input, but these circumstances are the exception to the rule.
Comcast "support" is almost not better than just having robots at the other end, never have I ever gotten a problem resolved from support, I've just had them try to upsell me relentlessly. To this day my Comcast email is somehow setup wrong and I no longer care to try to fix it.
This is tough. I let go of a dream after 7 years of toil. 6 months later it came true for somebody else that I let it go too. Now to build a new reality.
What prevents those details from being mapped by volunteers though? Consider openinframap, for most western nations that looks to be pretty spot on?
The biggest argument against that is the question of "is that IQ score inherent or trained"? Yes, it seems some professions have higher IQ scores. But is that because they're actually smarter? Or is it that they're better educated in the things that score well on an IQ test? It's no coincidence that the professions where people have higher IQs are also professions that are monumentally harder than the ones further down the list. If IQ correlation means STEM causation, we could just as easily flip that around and say that STEM education means IQ increases.

If we are making the statement that certain sections of the population cannot be trained for STEM careers because they don't have the IQ to be competitive, then we'd better be damn sure that IQ isn't something that can be taught. And there is mounds of evidence showing that intelligence is not assigned at birth.

Does IQ measure intelligence, or education? And are either of those static throughout a person's life?
You realize the databases I’m referring to are hosted versions of MySql/Postgres, the ElasticSearch cluster is just that standard ElasticSearch, and Redis is just that - Redis and you can setup a CDN anywhere?

Even if you chose to use AWS’s OLAP database,Redshift, it uses standard Postgres drivers to connect. You could move it to a standard Postgres installation. You wouldn’t get the performance characteristics of course.

If you don’t want to be “locked in” to DynamoDB, there is always the just announced Mongo compatible DocumentDB. Of course ADFS is used everywhere.

Why in the world would I want to manage a colo with all of those services myself and still not have any geographic redundancy - let alone any place near our outsourced developers?
Same with mine.
I'm _this_ close to cancelling Netflix because of this behavior on Roku. Also the utter lack of closed captions configurability is wearing on my nerves.
"the US version will start at $8,950"

I don't like that price point at all. With $9k you can get a much better vehicle that has far more utility.
Black and white movies should stay black and white. George Lucas shouldn’t have messed with Star Wars. Film movies should have film grain. You shouldn’t use a computer to remove grain and make Arnold look like a Madame Tussaud’s sculpture. You shouldn’t crop 4:3 sources to 16:9 because you think people prefer losing some image to black bars. Stop tinkering with shit to “improve” it.

I wouldn’t care, but I do care because it means I have to spend my time taking hours on the internet to find an obscure VHS rip of a version that has not been debauched by digital Dicks.
Running Matrix + Riot.im for my "family chat" server since Hangouts is going away. Bit hokey to setup but highly recommended.

Fast enough for us and it's nice to be able to save all the pictures your family sends in full quality. They stream straight to my S3 buckets. Run this on a 5$/month digital ocean droplet and it could probably support hundreds of users.

The mobile and desktop apps are easy enough for mid-60s parents to figure out, a huge shortcoming to all the other OSS chat solutions I know of
To be fair, why he uses Slack is likely due to his employer using Slack.
There is a bright future where individual users can trivially (like one click deployment trivial) spin up a Mastodon and Matrix container and have their own social network and IM server running in minutes that federates with all the others in a giant decentralized web. Again.

I'll keep pressuring everyone I know to migrate to federated replacements for monolithic proprietary alternatives.
Toyota is completely unionized. Toyota considers their workers to be one of the reasons for their quality.

More important, the executives knew about the pension liabilities when they accepted the job. It's been part of their planning and their guidance all along. Blaming the workers when those plans failed is cowardly.

Edit:

German automakers are also highly unionized. It doesn't seem to prevent them from making quality cars either. It really seems to me that executives blaming the workers is a US and UK thing. In many business cultures, it just makes the executive seem incompetent.
You guys can do whatever you want to "diversify" internet browsers, but the writings on the wall. Not only is the majority using Chrome, but all minorities other than Firefox are now derivatives of Chromium. The average tech illiterate consumer isn't going to say "You know what, this isn't right! We can't let Google take control as the dominant layout engine!". They want something relevant that performs well, and Firefox hasn't been relevant in years. Stop wasting your time and drop it. You're ancient browser will crumble just like Netscape, IE, and Mosaic.
WCD was in a way Library of Alexandria of the private tracker world. It was just too good and didn't last forever like any other good thing. The only sad part is that nothing, of similar calibre, came after that. Btw couldn't find the leak anywhere though - searched by his name.
> The standard library is locked to Rust - you can't issue a new major version of stdlib without having a major version of Rust.

More importantly, due to Rust's backwards compatibility guarantees, you can never remove something once it has been added.

I vaguely wave towards Python's 3-5 built-in "get data from a URL" libraries as an example of a bad route that this can take.

The regex crate can release a backwards-incompatible version 2 without destroying the entire ecosystem since multiple versions of a crate can co-exist in the final graph of dependencies.
It may not have the volition for cruelty. It certainly has the capacity.
Yeah Youtube's algorithm for playing stuff you will like is pretty good.

Know who else's algorithm has done the same thing for me? Pandora. It's basically my go-to music app. I have groomed a station to be exactly what I love and it just sticks to a formula, automatically adds in new releases by the artists I already follow, and plays music I like.
It's been declining for decades, that this trend continued isn't proof of any specific measures like bar/restaurant bans and price hikes.
As an alternative to 2, you just got lucky. There's lots of interviewers and lots of questions. My office is smaller than MTV, though not by much, and I don't think I've seen the same question come up more than a handful of times.

I'm unclear if 1 is referring to a specific office pool, which would be weird, or the global knowledge base I mentioned, but that has lots of questions, more than one could hope to memorize in any reasonable time frame.
There's a backup of the torrents somewhere. Couple of months ago an ex admin had released it. Like backup of the catalogue but not the items.

I'd love to see a blow by blow breakdown article/video of a "good" logo from a generator vs. a good logo from a professional designer.

Also important to consider that your taxes are already paying for streets as well so whether it is in a taxpayer funded house or a taxpayer funded street is irrelevant.
I knew someone when I was in high school that drove a Jeep CJ (not sure if it was a retired postal jeep or was originally sold as consumer), and I was immediately taken by how cool it was, and how much I wanted one.

I think it appeals to some in the same way that classic muscle cards do or did. Most people I knew that owned and or "restored" (using that term loosely) these cars when I was young were much less interested in being historically accurate, and much more interested in putting their own touch on them. It's a method of self expression and displaying your identity, and one that's approachable to those that are sometimes much shyer about doing so in other manners.

I speak as someone whose first car was a 1967 Mustang, and whose second was a 1973 240Z, but who now happily splits my driving time between a Toyota Camry and Honda Odyssey. I sometimes entertain the idea of starting a project car again, but with so many other projects to choose from, I doubt I'll get to it any time in the next decade.
> They're useful to see support of a message, without requiring the responder to say "I agree with $MESSAGE_FROM_SOME_TIME_AGO".

Messages on this websites have a number of points associated with them based on the number of upvotes and downvotes they get (if any). But we can't directly see the number of points a particular post has (though we can indirectly infer it by how it's sorted compared to its sibling messages and whether the text is grey rather than black).

But, even without this information, the vast majority of posts and responses are informative and have some substance. For example, I didn't just post a 2 word response to your post saying "I disagree".

Forums that didn't have voting or emoji reaction support didn't have problems with "me too" posts. Neither did usenet.
