I'm not sure he would -need- to talk to someone who designs boards to have a valid viewpoint. There's a case in point where the older Macbook display connector had a spare way or two between the high voltage and lower voltage signal connections. This isn't present on newer models, and leads to a connector failure meaning the display controller gets fried. This is simply bad practice. There was a commenter on one such video saying 'well, one guy does the spec for the connections needed, another guy does the connector pin out', but that just shows that people aren't doing their jobs as well as they should be - if you're designing something but ignoring an important part of that design such as physical distance needed to ensure long term reliability, then you're not doing your job well.

There are plenty of reasons that I love my 2017 MBP, but it most certainly isn't a 'Pro' piece of kit. It needs to be handled with kid gloves to avoid it damaging its own screen (which was replaced by Apple TWO DAYS before the warranty expired, thankfully) - if you close it without something between keyboard and screen, the glass gets damaged. I've had cheap laptops which have put up with years of abuse (including being thrown in the back of a rally car and doing an entire International event!) without this sort of damage. The lack of ports is a problem (I don't mind them being USB-C, but two isn't enough), lack of replaceability or upgradability, etc.

I didn't expect it to last forever, but I -did- expect it to last longer than any PC laptop I've bought in the past - the previous record was 5 years out of a fairly run-of-the-mill Acer which got used every day, sometimes for 8-10 hours, and not always by me. I was hoping for about 7 years out of it, which works out to about £250/year. I'll be -very- surprised if it makes it that far, alas.

I'd never buy another Apple device.

They broke my YouTube account a number of years ago in an attempt to force Google+ across their systems and artificially inflate user numbers.

Yesterday I got an email from them saying that they are nuking my Google+.

I will always remember that series of events as one of the most hostile acts of aggression against users that I have ever experienced.

That changed my perspective of Google as a company and I'm not sure that they can ever regain the positive perception that they lost due to those hostile actions.

Now their dominance with Chrome is leading them to make similarly hostile actions: breaking webaudio, attempting to "do away with URLs," forcing unwanted shit on our Internet.

Arrogance is the right word for it.
I think it would only be a moral hazard if someone behaved irresponsibly because they have insurance. An alternate situation would be someone who was excessively cautious without insurance but responsibly cautious with insurance. Or someone who behaved the same way but worried less due to having insurance.

Since people tend not to make rational decisions when they are worried, insurance could even lower their risk. For example, my understanding is that many auto insurance companies cover windshield repair very generously because it reduces the risk that a customer will get in an accident trying to chase down a truck that kicked up a stone and damaged their windshield.
In modern political landscape, deciding that the door's color doesn't matter would be to deny its identity.

This is cool but I tried yesterday to figure out what was going on in the samples and it still super green.

It looks like you have to still write Android code to do this. There is a sample that has no code in it ... but it is not documented.

Hopefully over time they will get the process worked out.
This isnt new information. This was taught during my history degree 15 years ago.

Unfortunately this is symptomatic for the way fields like history and archaeology communicate: lots of repeating old news, lots of overblown statements about new discoveries (archaeology in Israel is especially guilty of this, with every find supposedly proving the Bible right), lots of trying to link the past to the present (America is Rome! Cyrus the Great was concerned with human rights!) and not at all about methodology and how historians analyze and interpret the past.

Where does the fight start, and where does it end?

And what's the consequence of "we (the people who don't believe it) need to fight it"?

I ask you these questions because they are really issues we are facing as a society based on freedom of speech (and religion).
I would drop that to trivially afford.

Getting a new TV is the kind of thing most people on HN would barely think twice about. At which point the cost benifit simple. But, move up a few rungs to say a 5,000$ massage chair and you could replace it or do without but most people would feel it. Further, the policy is likely to be closer to 1/20th the price at something like 250$.

It’s still a bad deal, but you can feel better about your overall purchase knowing it will last at least X years.
They have many visions and no cohesion and no one technical with wide-sweeping power apparently. That's how you get Hangouts + Google Meet + Allo, and evidently, how China gets it's great search blocker. It feels to me like there are many divisions and teams and no one in charge of the collective, from a technical point of view. So yeah, kind of like microsoft in recent years. A many-headed hydra.

I could not tell you the names of many of the AWS services, but I have lambda functions running in AWS (written in Go). They monitor my DB loads in RDS. I get email and text alerts when things are not as expected via SNS, but I can't recall the name of the AWS service that I used to schedule that alert... CloudWatch maybe. For sure it was CloudSomething ;)

I'm not AWS certified, but I've been a technologist for many years and I majored in CS, so it all just sort of makes sense. Some names such as ELB, RDS and Lambda are intuitive. But some are overloaded, for example Alexa. They have Alexa for business and Alexa Top Sites (domain name research). BTW, has anyone else used Alexa Top Sites in AWS, it seems way overpriced to me.

I'd be leery of someone who knew all these names, but didn't have much actual experience as a technologist, but in an interview, they'd probably sound better than I would.
Also, the Gmail app doesn't open links in the "proper" Safari app, so you're never signed in to anything!!! It's infuriating and I began switching e-mail provider because of it.

ok I'll bite: what are the exciting developments in blockchains that google is missing out on
Love the build on my ThinkPad laptops, and the customer service I've received when I've had minor issues has been amazing.

They sent a tech to my house to fix one device that was delivered with a badly fitted bottom cover, even though I had a return to depot warranty. I had a keyboard that died, I asked to replace the part myself and they happily posted it out. When one of the rubber feet came off another laptop they couriered me a brand new battery overnight (the foot is glued to the battery).

And, if I want more memory or disk, I can do that myself no trouble. No seals, no glue, no warranty stickers.
> In modern political landscape

If that's a reference to the various gender pronouns and the like, regardless of what you think about it, it mostly strives for equal rights, not more rights as far as I know, so a more apt mapping may be that the doors should be approached in the same way regardless of what particular color they are today.
The blog I linked to (about the data analysis we did) talks about the different data sources we used. We had the sampled logs (which you mention), plus statistical data on traffic through individual sites, plus crash logs. A lot more than "2 weeks worth of logs".
Is that a straight forward approach? If you know of a resource about it I'd be interested.

I started looking into layered filesystems for that purpose. Treat the main disk as read-only and have a writable layer in RAM that you can periodically commit to disk when desired.

But it seemed to be quite cumbersome to setup.
Not at all. In a code path where the compiler reasons that x is definitely INT_MAX, it could simply omit this code, leaving y uninitialized and nondeterministic.

Well, since years ago, I think I have read thousands of reports regarding these scammers at social media and some sites like http://whycall.me. There's nothing we can do to stop them. I think the authority should really think about this problem. Phone scammers have become #1 enemy for us since few years ago.
A lot of statements in the article seem off. The position on the S-curve, the claim that TDD replaced QA teams, even the fact that “serverless is coding for hardware engineer” or however it was formulated (the author probably meant “infrastructure as code”). With so many approximations in the argument, it’s hard to accept the conclusions of the article at face value.
Generally the hardware and software ecosystem isn't robust enough in these applications to make a big difference. It is a bit like desktop linux. You can run different distributions, environments or applications, at the end of the day it is still desktop linux. This is why people run raspberry pi. It's isn't great, but what you are doing is still likely going to be a hack anyways.

>They want people with solid experience, a risk-free bet that the new hire can execute the tech flawlessly. This often means insane job requirements [...] and an existing track-record of success.

So much this. I've seen job listings that say "DevOps" and they really mean "SRE" or "Software Developer to own the whole SDLC w/On-Call Rotations".

Of course, the industry is changig but I think the industry hasn't let the "lead-in" occur, which existed in times before, and carry-over into the new momentums. For example, requesting 5+ years' experience in enterprise-level deployments in Azure and/or AWS isn't precisely synonymous with 5+ years in OOP.

I think that the reason for adding to the insane job requirements is that they're trying to condense the whole SDLC down to three people - at most - (e.g.: a PM and two devs) and still produce Fortune 500 level code products for the world to consume; thus, making the actual intial cost overhead to produce the initial product much lower.

This is, of course, pure conjecture and you're welcome to tell me that I'm talking out of my ass but, as far as my interviewing experience goes - so far, they want someone who's owned a small product (from an SRE perspective) for a few years' time, which doesn't really "translate" across the industry, yet.

SREs might come from Google, FB, Twitter, MSFT, Avanade, etc. but doesn't seem to - as far as I can tell - translate to an industry standard, across the board.

So, you'll have a developer with 7+ years' experience with OOP and maybe does the full-stack but, because he's never been exposed to things like being responsible for the deployment of the product (because it's responsibility of another team at his company, to make sure it goes through a security review cycle, has been tested in tested pre-prod environments, etc.), he'll automatically be "disqualified" from being considered for the given position - because the company doesn't want someone who can learn it, they want someone who can do it - literally, starting the next day.

(Sorry for the long tirade but the insane requirements are only insane because we don't understand the rationale behind them; understanding the reasons "why" helps us determine how the whole sector is shifting to new "paradigms". <insert Office Space reference here>.)
I've seen worse insurance bets than that: mobile phone companies offering insurance at fees and excess levels where you'd have to lose or break two phones a year for the insurance company to return more in claims than you pay in premiums!

"The affordability and ease of use has become a bar that everything else is measured by “that’s x times more expensive than a pi” is a common response when better solutions for your use-case exist"

Yes to a point, but then these conversations always end up recommending $100+ Nucs. If some one asks for a cheap run about, a Ferrari isn't the answer. Although I will admit people ask for cheap run abouts that do 200mph with v8 engines.

"people don’t judge it on what it was meant to do; just on what it’s possible to do with it"

Doesn't this go both ways? Its possible to use it as a desktop, which it may not be very good for. Its equally possible to use it for many 100s of things that weren't intended.

I suppose at minimum you expect it to do what it was designed to do. But it succeeds because of what its possible to do with it?
>and the Christian Church has always taught that sex should only be for procreation //

Certainly Song of Songs (in the OT) presents erotic intimacy in a positive manner, and does not to my recollection mention procreation.

That seems about right. Other than services that you actually pay hard cash for (like gce), all other metrics will eventually trace back to some kind of ad/data related metric.

> Zurich American Insurance Company points to the official statements of national security officials from the UK, Canadian and Australian governments, all of which blamed Russia for the cyber attack in February 2018. Even the White House in the United States said the cyber attack was part of Kremlin efforts to destabilize the Ukrainian government.
Every year cloud providers announce tens of new services, poorly tested and far from production ready. Non-ops eng teams and management are always happy to use the latest buzzword out of AWS, then ask their ops team to make it somehow work.

Certifications are moot. I don't care if you are certified, or if you have used a cloud (or kubernetes) following a tutorial. I do care if you have seen enough issues throughout your career, so you can debug every time (not when, nor if) mud hits the fan. I don't care if you can type a port in a yaml file or in your browser. I do care if you know how many ports are there, what's the ephemeral port range and so on. Systems are 75% experience, 25% basic knowledge, you can't get away just with certifications which matter only after you get experience and knowledge.

If you are experienced in ops, I know you can learn and work out any cloud. If you claim you are experienced with a specific cloud though, then better have to share a ton of war stories or it will just be a huge red flag on your CV.

Let's call it for what it is, clouds, like data-science are hot fields right now. It's only natural that many people will go after a good-paying job claiming expertise in the field.

Amazon Corretto 8 Now Generally Available (OpenJDK)
Maybe, but that involves burning a lot of resources in a sort of crazy hope that nobody is going to try and compete when you start making money again.

Africa is an interesting case in point - I don't know very much about the average case, but I remember Zimbabwe gutted themselves, going from the Bread Basket of Africa to famine in a very short period of time with no particular effort from outside forces. There is a strong case the Africa's economic problems are more attributable to their struggles to organise politically rather than charity and dumping from external economies (which probably hasn't helped or hindered in the big picture). Maybe we can peg the organisational issues on foreign countries; but it is going to be more complicated than that.

Take China. Their protectionist policies probably have an impact, but most of their advantage is they are organised, politically stable, willing to work more for less pay and have a culture that believes in investment and education. Without government handicaps like Maoist Communism, that is a very formidable set of attributes in a competitor.

I wonder if your step 2 at the end and my step 2 are the same. Would you really read the Facebook tutorial after having done a real project? Doing it that way seems like an after thought.

The old-school guys also think (rightly in some cases) that they have an added value. 10 years ago I was building a cloud platform and explaining to the security team that they would no longer receive tickets to manually configure routes on firewalls, the customers would do it from a console. I thought they’d be happy to be relieved of a menial, boring task but their reaction was “when we receive a ticket requesting to open all ports from any IP address, we can explain to the customer that it’s a dangerous idea. If they can configure it themselves, who will tell them?”
I know it's not perfect, but that really misses the forest for the trees. I for one agree we need to find a way to redistribute that wealth, but what exactly generated all of that ridiculous wealth on the first place?

And people have access to more advanced goods and services than ever at unprecedentedly cheap prices. Again, I agree we need to lift up our lower class right now, but by many metrics, it's better to be impoverished today than to be middle class 50 years ago, and I think people forget that or don't want to admit it.
If it's too late, when (in the past several years) would it have not been too late? There were always companies that have considered expanding in San Francisco, as there will be for years to come, and if building more housing helps at least a few existing residents then it seems like a net positive.

At any given point in time, there is a roughly finite amount of demand, and inching closer to meeting that demand can't hurt.
