Past few years have led to a rise in conservative/right-wing ideology in the mainstream discourse and he is pretty influential in that world.
This right here is the main reason. Pirate groups continued to do xvid encodes for many years after h264 was unquestionably superior for the exact same reason.

The big picture here is that we've hit the point of diminishing returns with video codecs. Up until h264, with lots of work you could improve codecs to get significant gains in compression with very little increase in complexity. That's pretty much done though. If we had to keep using h264 for videos for the rest of eternity it wouldn't be all that bad. Sure, eventually we'll want something a bit better most of the time, but when it's a choice between a 16 GB h264 encode and a 8 GB AV1 encode that takes 10x the CPU time to encode and decode, it's not unreasonable to think we might choose the former for many applications.
I recall seeing an interview with Paul Graham (IIRC), who said that developing web-based software allowed them to sell to Windows using customers without having to develop in Windows.

I think this partly explains the popularity of Javascript, Electron and Web apps among developers.

There's no way that happened. I'm calling bullshit.
> I think it's more that our standards of living were artificially inflated for the past 100 - 150 years.

This kind of perhaps excessively long historical horizon reminds me of the old joke (http://www.challzine.net/23/23scientist.html):

> [King's College] had gotten a large bequest to the College and were trying to decide how to invest it. The bursar said, “Certainly we ought to invest it in property, real property. That has stood the college very well for the last thousand years.” But the oldest senior fellow in the room shook his head and said, “Well, that is true enough. But the last thousand years have been atypical.”
Omg I would definitely take those cubicles over an open office.

I think you're greatly overstating the literacy levels of Medieval Europe.
Do you have any source for that?

My parental leave entitlement has been the same since my first job after graduation at 22.
After sleep and exercise, there are other medicines like eating the right food (at the right time of day) and meditation (again to be experimented with) which I've found help a lot.
I used Instacart and as everyone else has pointed out: it's just too expensive. The grocer in my area accepts orders online and they fill it for free. When it's ready I pull up and they bring out a full cart. It's fantastic. The produce they pick is OK but you won't ever be happy unless you do it yourself.
We do cams on Thursday stand ups only, just as a team building sort of thing. Voice or Slack all other times.
I'm pretty sure this article is all that was required for some enterprising people to do their own research and find some of the same vulnerabilities. I imagine we might see some interesting damages outlined in some lawsuits from casinos against Atrient.
It doesn't have to be an office per person. Small groups up to 8 people can work well and very doable without a big loss in usable square feet.

I suspect most companies that absolutely need every inch of continuous desk space have bigger problems. Organic growth isn't difficult to manage, it's the crazy VC fueled hiring sprees that create real estate issues.

Trolling is enabled by people who define anything disagreeable or challenging (negative) as trolling. Some people like to be challenged because they want to know how they are wrong, but that cannot happen if the only valued commodity is harmony.

> If I am looking for 3rd programmer in my 2 person small company I will not risk hiring a young woman

You've just created far more financial risk for your company by doing this.

It's flat out illegal, and if you're caught doing this the punishment will probably bankrupt your company.

Further, it's disgusting and any small business owner that does this deserves to have their business destroyed.

Is there a limit to the number of kids you can have while still doing this? Because if not, there must be some people out there that have been collecting 100% of salary while going to work a few weeks per year for 5+ years.
Adding cubicle walls to a row of desks barely increases the footprint.

And I'd rather have cubicles than open-plan. Give me at least a smidgen of privacy.
The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker. It’s a slim, experimental novel with a narrator who spends every second of the book noticing smaller and smaller details about the world around him—such as the burrs on the underside of a soda can tab opening and how they can grasp a plastic straw that would otherwise float—-and what this all reminds him of.
Why would we want both of us to work full-time (rather than as a form of passion) if one of us is capable of supporting the family and buying appropriate life insurance? That seems to be working for the wrong reasons.
Doesn't need to be 1 per individual, can group together small groups. Most "open plans" tend to waste lots of space on excessively wide desks, meeting areas, decorations, etc.
What a depressing end that would have been. It would have sucked all the joy out of the film. I honestly wonder if it would have been remembered as fondly had that made it in.
If, in a year, you don't have room to grow your staff by 1, haven't you already failed?
The 500 years figure I chose was not a coincidence. The printing press and the Reformation are connected. If a person in Europe or the New World could read, they would have read some or all of it.

Before that familiarity came from weekly readings at Mass, which is why I talked about partial familiarity for the thousand years prior.

I'm an atheist, but there's a difference between dismissing the book's contents and dismissing the impact and influence of the book's contents.
Would you call yourself agnostic simply because you didn't believe Russel's teapot existed?
> I was thinking 10 or 20 active servers,

You said a couple, which usually means 'two'.

You offered StackOverflow as "another website with Reddit's daily active users and revenue profile, but significantly higher availability" and then said this:

"I wouldn't be surprised as well if reddit was two orders of magnitude more than that"

> I will stand by my statement

I have no literally idea how to have a conversation with someone who's willing to revise their previous numbers by a factor of ten or more, say it's the same statement as it was before, and call it good.
> All you have is a license to use it for the duration of your life.

Consider that statement with sexes reversed. Is it still true? Because I never hear of women being 'toxic'. The term is just name calling, and has a history of a specific agenda. We can move forward with unsilvered tounges.
This is a good point (about how messaging integration requests differ). I think the choice comes down to whether at least once or exactly once makes more sense for a specific unit of shared data / functionality. For exactly once, APIs and RabbitMQ shine for connecting services.

I’m still wrapping my head around when to do what in SOA. Thanks for the link btw.
When you pay at a supermarket, often the cashiers are supposed to say thank you for shopping with us mr/ms Lastname.

I’ve had many be unable to pronounce my last name and simply spell out the initial or fade into a mumble, is that a micro aggression? Mine is a simple last name to pronounce for native English speakers. Do I call these people microagressprs?
I can't belive nobody has mentioned "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau.

To be fair, I'm not a big recreational reader. But this one will always stick out to me. When I read it in college, it had such a profound effect on me, I belive it literally helped shape who I am as a person even to this day

Maybe it was right place, right time. It is certainly an impressionable age, but I have read it again as an older man, & it was just as powerful.

I've read "Guns, germs & steel", "How to win friends & influence people", "Freakonomics" & some of the other stuff that pop up in the comments, they are all fine. But none of them influenced me like "Walden" did.

A true American classic.
I don't think that "hacker" is a term that hasn't nor mustn't change/evolve from how it was referred to in a 1990s e-zine. But if you want to argue from the prescriptivist stance, then how are you justified in choosing the 90s definition over its usage in 1963 at MIT, referring to intrusion and unauthorized usage of phone (or, today, the computer) systems, which the UGNazis have definitely been capable of? [0]

Here's what Wikipedia has for the "general definition" [1]:

1. an adherent of the technology and programming subculture; see hacker culture.

2. someone who is able to subvert computer security. If doing so for malicious purposes, the person can also be called a cracker

And while UGNazi sounds like it ended up being a bunch of assholes acting like assholes, its origin story shares a lot of themes with other widely-recognized hackers:

> Around this time, Islam started UGNazi with the intention, he said, of protesting aggressive proposed anti-piracy and cybersecurity legislation

Ignoring the argument over whether social engineering is "hacking", the attacks linked to UGNazi have included SQL injections/0-day exploits. Eric Taylor, the UGNazi founder not implicated in the woman's murder, is apparently now a cybersecurity researcher at Path [2] (not the social network, but a network systems startup). There's no indication that he was the only one of the 3 UGNazis to have technical chops.

Sounds like a classic abusive relationship. Really tragic.
A rhizome isn't just a root, it's an offshoot of a plant with the ability to create an entirely new plant.

You have a point with arborescent, but it is translated from French, and from what I know of French morphology, arborescent could probably sounds to a French person like "treeish" or "tree ADJ", and therefore not quite so formal/illegible.

The joke I tell about A Thousand Plateaus is that on one of the plateaus is good writing. Didn't make it into the book though
Let's say I have a firewall. If we assume someone can compromise the firewall, what does that mean for us? Can we detect that kind of activity? What additional barriers can we put between someone with that access and other things we care about? What kind of information can they gather from that foothold? Can we make that information less useful? etc.

You think about these things in layers. If X, then Y, and if Y, then Z, and if X, Y, and Z do we just accept that some problems are more expensive than they're worth or get some kind of insurance?
Moment.js is 16.7k. Moment.js plus locale data for every single locale in the world is 68k. There is no justifiable reason to ever load every single locale in the world at once except for a few extremely niche cases. Real world use cases typically need one locale at a time, occasionally two or three, never hundreds.

Luxon, I believe, is a similar story.
What...! This would have saved me so much pain trying to learn basic phrases a while ago. Looks like there is a converter, which is cool for next time:

Edit: Hmm, it didn't work when I tried it. Not sure if I chose the right source type.
Thanks for such detailed response! Valuable indeed
I know very little about these formats, but is H.265 patent-encumbered? If so, maybe people don't like supporting it?
Makes sense. I never picked up on that.
women are a target demographic, just like men are a target demographic. just because its a large demographic doesn't mean it isn't a demographic.

noun: demographic: a portion of a population, especially considered as consumers.

literally a demographic.
Btw why is it bad to use same events for messaging / data integration?
If you enjoyed this then I highly recommend Ideas: A History by Peter Watson, a far superior book in my opinion.

I found Sapiens to be shallow and full of useless waffle after reading Ideas. It really highlights the fact that Harari presents one particular version of history and there are many great thinkers that have an opinion on the things he discusses. E.g. Harari speculates on how and why money came to be used where as Watson presents a plethora of ideas on the origin of money and discusses the merits of different views.
> The personal website in your profile says that you live and work in a converted school bus, which is, "as much an engineering and teaching platform as it is a home". No judgements, but maybe you're just not the typical office dweller?

Perhaps you're right. But I will say this: when I tell people about (or show them) the bus, nearly everybody - I'm talking 90%+, say something like, "oh, I've always wanted to do that!" So maybe buses are more popular than cubicles. I don't know. :-)

> Me? I don't want "role-crossover". I'm a coder

I mean, OK. But much of the world has long since moved on to a DevOps style of engagement. I find it much more difficult to have awareness of the entire operation without frequent (even forced) social interaction with colleagues.
Inner game of tennis - Timothy Gallwey classic on sports psychology. unpacks ego and its role in learning and performance. from amateur to elite levels. introduces concepts like 2 "selfs". reading this book was a very religious experience and dare i say improved my weekend tennis too.
I don't see what the issues is, specifically. I've been to the store for service a few times, it was very professional.

Everything seems generally well run.

What's the fuss?

Apple Retail needs to be executed well, and it's a strategic pillar, but really in the end the stores in and of themselves are not going to be the story.

I wonder what the real issues are.

I wonder how involved she was in pricing/promotional aspects, because her strategic imperative on pricing may be a source of the problem.

Apple is getting a little expensive for it's britches and they have a great brand, but this is not Burberry, it's tech, so utility factors in strongly. If she was behind the expensive mac story ... then maybe. But somehow I doubt it.

I wonder what the real story is ...
Why would you avoid hiring her? It takes 9 months to deliver the baby, plenty of notice to find a replacement. If she just quit you have two weeks notice to find someone. In many ways someone going through that situation is most likely to return and stay long term adding additional value.
You are literally the first person I've ever heard of who prefers open plan for development.

There is a time and a place for social interaction in the office. But when I'm coding, I need to concentrate. People talking to me, talking to each other, walking behind me or around me, every bit pushes me further off the rails and takes me longer to get back into flow state. Cubicles aren't perfect, but they're a fuckload better than open plan.
> The lack of 3D Touch is such an oddity, product lineup wise.

I’d be surprised if most users use it. I’m not sure that most are even aware it exists. It’s possibly the least ‘discoverable’ feature ever introduced in a user interface.

OK, I've considered that.

It's not really saying anything to me that would make me think that the people in Canada on average value the collective over the individual in terms of how they personally behave and more importantly how they tell others to behave.

A phrase we often hear a lot is 'It's a free country'. Sometimes we say it as a justification that 'this is my preference / choice and regardless of what you think I do believe I have some justification in making it' and sometimes others use it to come to our defense to tell someone to back off and just let us be. That's individualism.

In contrast I've had thousands of conversations with Japanese people where they use the opposite kind of justification 'because I'm Japanese I must behave this way because this is how Japanese people behave' or someone instructing you to act/not act in a certain way because your behavior is expected to (roughly) line up with cultural norms and there is constant and heavy emphasis on this.

I can appreciate Canadian politics being different to that of the US. Indeed NZ and Australian politics differ both from each other and from that of Canada and the US. But I think we would all sooner blurt out 'it's a free country' than admonish ourselves for not behaving how everyone else behaves. That is to say there are some core philosophies that are held by all of us and then there are a bunch that differ.
There have been some improvements in reddit since Alexis Ohanian is back but with this came the popups to install reddit and censorship of many subs.
"The problem is the products they are selling don't work as well as they used to, for many people. "

I think we should carbon date it to be sure. Just imagine, forebearer design committees!
I was thinking more like r/unpopularopinion. r/politics is wall to wall with Trump posts, gets tiring within the first few minutes.
I have the card and did the repair. I took it to the Apple store, got a repair quote, and then uploaded it to the benefits website. They sent me a check without me even repairing it yet.

I have flip flopped back and forth between vegetarianism and not several times now, always motivated by precisely these sorts of moral quandaries. I would just like to make what seems like a shockingly overlooked point whenever this debate comes up: there is a middle ground. If the thought of going meatless appeals to your heart and mind but not your tastebuds, why not try eating simply less meat. Every bit helps. This is my current strategy and I find works well — mostly plants, meat sometimes added for flavor, fish > fowl > mammal. It has health benefits and you feel like less of a jerk every time you see an article about CAFOs.
Thanks for that. The more I learn about USA the more tenuous the idea that it embodies democracy in a serviceable sense.
Haha, what valuation?

It's by far the worst site I still visit, and it can't be fixed. It's simply crap, with more and more annoyances such as the reminders to switch to the tracking-ware-infested mobile app.

Reddit is worth almost nothing.
Not really the "edge". Just a data center nearer the user, like Akamai.

Is it worth the hassle? All you're saving is latency in the backbone between the point of presence and your home data center. Does this beat directing requests to the nearest AWS region? As long as you're in roughly the right hemisphere and time zone, you're probably close enough.
Virtualization doesn’t require VT-x or VT-d, those are just performance enhancement mechanisms for virtualization on 80386-derived CPUs. Most other 32-bit and 64-bit CPU architectures have supported virtualization reasonably well from the start. The biggest popularizer of the technique was the IBM System/360.

For a microprocessor example, the Motorola 68000 almost supported virtualization, and the 68010 corrected the one flaw—insufficient exception context to restart an instruction—that prevented it. That’s why even though the personal computer market didn’t touch it, workstations migrated to 68010 as soon as it was available.

Of course there are a variety of ways to make virtualization easier on the implementer and more efficient to use. Intel’s enhancements really shine there. But they’re not required, just useful.
You stated they are vital. This is an assumption. They are not vital. The real consequences are already part of the system and the collection agencies serve no purpose but to harass and annoy.

I'm a seasoned senior developer with over 15 years experience working with all kinds of companies - from small startups to Fortune 50 organizations. Very familiar with Agile / DevOps approaches, and particularly fond of good developer testing practices.

My focus is on delivering lean, simple, well tested products. I specialize in developing large scale web apps (full stack), with a core competency on the backend side.

This includes all the usual tech: relational and NoSQL databases (Mysql, Postgresql, RethinkDB, MongoDB, Elastic Search, Redis), Docker, Kubernetes, AWS. Spring and many more.
You run a business an employee can quit with 2 weeks notice. If preparing for that requires substantial organization preparation you will be doomed to fail. Parental leave gives you months of notice time with periods of overlay where training could happen. It should be easier.
I always wondered why Romanization was done the way it was. Someone had the unprecedented opportunity to build a system from whole cloth where everything was pronounced just like it sounded, and completely fucked it up.
