I work for Pivotal.

Our internal development environments mostly run on GCP, after migrating from AWS. We chose it because (a) it performs much better and (b) Google would give us the time of day, unlike Amazon. As it happens BOSH made that process manageable for most individual teams because of its design.

We do however spend significant amounts with Azure and AWS, to test our various systems on this platforms.

PKS came to GCP first because the opensource feedstock, CFCR (née Kubo) was co-developed by Pivotal and Google and was first developed on GCP.

As for chunk projection, I can put you in touch with relevant teams for feedback -- jchester@pivotal.io.
Just like IRC is the little-known open alternative to the usual IM networks, the closest to Skype would probably be SIP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol ), for which many clients are available: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software
Frightening why? The only way this system can "target" race is to make certain skin colors and such superdominant. That's a dumb effect but not really harmful to anyone.

I assume your worry is that it might selectively activate in some race to do a bad thing? But that's not how it works. It always activates, and the only thing keeping it within the mosquito species is that they physically can't breed with anything else. And obviously no such barrier exists with races.

So we could worry about a completely different and theoretical technology, but not so much this one.
Works just fine for CB radio.
Wouldn't be more appropriate to describe this as a drupal plugin / extension?

Also, why would a extension / plugin cost monthly for CRUD type application? What kind of support do you provide?
That description glosses over the context and compare female circumcision that is conducted in one area of the world with male circumcision of a complete different area of the world, creating the conclusion that whats matter is what bit get cut off.

If we look at African culture, which is the most common place for female circumcision, we find that male circumcision is quite different from what people might expect in both execution and purpose. The boys are much older, and the ritual is done in part to test the "warriors" ability to withstand pain. A boy who cries out in pain brings great dishonor to his family, and of course no sedative is applied. It is ritualized torture with religious attributes.

This does not make US and EU style of male circumcision more moral, but it does mean that when you say that "the harm is less" with circumcision of males, what we are saying is that ritualized torture is not as bad as cutting off the clitoris. I object to that. male circumcision in nations that practice female circumcision is one of the worst form of barbaric acts one human can do to an other human, and for the worst reasons.
It could be as simple as permitting such "demeaning" roles outside of zero hours contracts, with more flexibility for the employee to work around childcare. Right now all the flexibility is for the benefit of the employer.

When the kids were young, SO looked to find something, almost anything part time, so long as it fit around the needs of the children and schools. We were both surprised at how limited those choices were and how often they required some hours commitment that guaranteed they could not coexist with raising young children.

No organization is perfect. Because organizations are made of people and people are not perfect. Can the resources be utilized in a better way? maybe so. Even with all these inefficiencies what Bill Gates is doing through his foundation should be commended.
No, a better analogy would be like Toyota not breaking down individual model sales numbers because the Camry isn't selling well compared to competitors.
I once ran some services on GAE right before they hit us with a 4000% price increase and killed our startup right when it was beginning to gain traction. I will never get trapped into a mission critical Google offering again. That and their application graveyard automatically put Google near the bottom of every one of my list of competing alternatives.
I tend to be very free-market about this. If nobody wants to do them, we shouldn't be forcing people to, we should make them more attractive. If they're borderline demeaning, make them less demeaning. If that's not possible and machines can do it, let machines do it. Otherwise increase pay. At some point either someone will do it, we'll find a better way, or we'll conclude it's not that necessary after all.

If people are willing to do these jobs, then there's no problem.
I just think it has something to do with the bacteria but I don't know how it works. I think that by personal experience certain kind of food causes nightmares. I associate nightmares with food that cause bloating like starch. And also cheese and dairy and fermented food. But I did not try a scientific study by eating for instance dairy and note if I had nightmares. As you say it is most probably related to good and bad bacteria. Also, let's not forget that during sleep consciousness is asleep and if there is a danger the microbes may need to wake up the consciousness and one way of doing this is serve nightmares to the consciousness. I believe that there is a complex relationship with the gut microbes and the consciousness and we don't know how this works.
Cool, thanks. I'm tempted to make a Node binding.

Used to happen to me all the time around 2007. And yes it was very annoying.
I'd imagine any combination of {duplication and mutation on the blue cone gene which isn't on X, mosaicism or Klinefelter syndrome, transposition from X or replication on X with mutation} would work for you. Maybe not Klinefelter because of X-inactivation, I don't know how those two things interact offhand.

I _think_ the key point is, as you said, that the different gene copies need to have different response ranges, or you end up functionally trichromatic even though the pigments are from different places.
It is indeed horrible, and it is fantastic that so many resources are dedicated to find a solution to this travesty!

Eliminating entire species deliberately, on the other hand, isn't really better. Yes, there is the us vs. them dilemma, and of course we should favour our own species if there's no other option, but this should be used as a last resort only.

I wonder if there's anyone looking into using similar methods to make humans malaria resistant instead.

The term that Drupal uses for these "full website" packages are "distributions": https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/distributions

The monthly cost is mainly for support, hosting and email delivery. The support includes security updates for server and Drupal libraries, customer support via email and helping with import / export of member data (of course, due to GDPR and sensitive contact information, a processing agreement has to be signed and agreed upon)
Finally, I posit that the app ecosystem, specifically that in iOS, is the killer weapon apple holds against google. Apple literally has infinite source of free developers who can crank out apps rivaling the quality of googles free offerings... all for less than ten dollars an app. iCloudsync has mostly killed google docs and google drives cloud sync advantage across the board. Apples app ecosystem literally is infinitely horizontally scalable, while googles app ecosystem can’t even offer competent customer service for five core apps.. hmmmm I wonder who will win. Ironically parts of iCloud sync are probably using a aws for sure and maybe even google cloud as backbone.
Yeah it seems isolated to some type of combo of hardware I have.

After I finish this next course I will try again with a different distro, and then see if my other USB mic that worked on the Chromebook (running native Linux) also works on my main machine.
There's a pretty interesting book on it "The corporation that ruled the world". It talks mostly about the British East Indian Company but that was modelled after the Dutch one.
Totally.

A critical comment regarding the state we’re in does not make me wish for a full blown totalitarian regime.

Marx was a philospher and writer with some points however, and I doubt he personally would appreciate what went down with Lenin & co.

It’s all about balance, and right now the balance is off by quite a bit.

The problem is that capitalism has turned in to ”consumerism”.

Not sure how to crack it, but in a way it’s a bit like a new enlightenment phase needs to take place.

I'd say meditation is the inverse of anxious mind wandering. I've tried a few techniques, and Vipassana is to me the most interesting. There's a _little_ bit of buddhist dogma which comes with most books / lessons, but that's easily ignored - otherwise it's zero woo: the 99% core of what is taught is psychology and practical techniques. The practice itself involves balancing concentration with active awareness / "mindfulness" - once you've got a handle on it, it's a robust technique for staying on top of stress, among other benefits.
Are you certain? In mechanics’ circles that has a completely neutral meaning. Doubt Twitter is so simplistic it can’t figure out people are talking about drivetrain transmissions.
Source is my personal experience. I'm positive that if I go to bed with full stomach the probability of nightmare increases. Also some food like dairy triggers nightmares I think. Of course, all circumstantial, I didn't try a scientific study.
It depends on your needs, on the server side you are probably not missing much. Apollo tracing might be nice if you want some statistics on how your graph is consumed.

The client side depends on the client, we have a Angular SPA that extensively uses Apollo Client together with some code generation tools. The benefits we see from this are:

* The whole schema is automatically defined in frontend, so it is easy to keep types in sync between frontend and backend.
* .gql files are scanned, so services that consumes the queries/mutations are automatically generated with correct typing.
* The Apollo Client cache makes it easier keep the data updated across different components.

This greatly reduces the boilerplate code our developers have to create, and it makes it much easier to share type definitions from backend to frontend without having to worry about them getting out of sync. We are still exploring different tools, to see what we might benefit from.

For context 900,000 words is ~5MB of text which is roughly 2,500 to 3,200 pages depending on font size and spacing. That's a big book!
Can confirm that this happens.

To put it mildly, not the most pleasant experience of my life, but still looking forward to seeing where the next iterations on rapid-acting antidepressants go, and whether they turn out to be any more durable.

(Also quite curious to see what research crops up about why the effects are sometimes not durable, but that's gonna be a decent wait.)
At work I help others to automate testing, build processes etc. Mainly I write Python, help others with Docker and Jenkins pipelines. How could I dive into fuzzing?

What's the best tutorial for fuzzing? Or should I pick some tool and focus on that and then extend from there? Something else? (We are mostly building embedded devices, mostly C and C++)
as a vim user, what I found difficult wasn't the stuff taught in vimtutor, but rather how to get to know the tool it self.

Buffers, windows, autocomplete, files browsing, all of that requires you to dig around the help files and the web.
This still happens today - actually I get a lot of dropped and reordered messages in a very well covered area. People don't realize it because a lot of the time we unconsciously design our text messages to be disposable.

The only reason I know is because I'm going through a big project and the big stakeholders are frequently communicating via text messages as well as phone and email. I've considered moving us to WhatsApp but we're nearing the end so its not that annoying, we just know to use it less.

>I know a lot of people here don't think there should be unions in software

There is a huge concern.

As a senior engineer, my pay is really nice. Its deserved as I am 'a jack of all trades', I have accomplishments recognized by other engineers, and I stay late whenever the job needs to get done.

I genuinely enjoy my job, and the pay is great.

What would be the purpose of unions? They take a fat fee, they standardize pay, standardize hours, and sound like they would overall disrupt what works.
People are also dying of war and hunger and lack of clean water and medicine. I would even argue that those are the bigger problems and the deaths of malaria are more symptoms of the former problems. Usually, it ain't the rich people who die of malaria.

So I would focus in those problems instead of trying to inject suicide genes into the wild.

I like the saying: the opposite of well done, is well intented.
i assume, so you are doing then doing manual tests after you are done coding ?
I'm using irssi, and I guess the only answer I have is "inertia". I have an irssi setup/config which works. I could probably get weechat up and running fairly quickly, have looked at it already, but... irssi has, and continues to, serve me well, so I see no real reason to change.

Ninja-edit: didn't comprehend your question fully upon first reading. I didn't chose between them. Back in... 2007-ish? I got handed an irssi config by a buddy, and have tweaked it from there since. No active choice being made between the two.
Sorry for the misinterpretation.
Am I alone in seeing a trend of Corporations really tooling up their security? I realize that in the age of digital transformation, securing your digital infrastructure is critical. And you have to do it, or your business is at a serious risk... but it keeps getting bigger, additionally so much of security is also physical.

I guess my concern is if you combine this with the longer term trend of the dominance of corporations in our lives in that they seem to be increasingly becoming small nation states of their own. it just seems like we're a few steps away from corporations having their own standing armies, digital and physical... and all the potential problems associated with that.
Look, I’ve replaced plenty of jQuery with vanilla JS. I’m totally on board for lighter, leaner pages. My point was simply that there’s this tedious cycle where people crap on the older tools and say everything is better across the board with the current hotness without actually measuring anything. There are a lot of cool capabilities we can use now but they’re only going to be better at the things you actually measure & attempt to improve.

If you don’t profile your app, that cool new stack is probably going to be bigger and slower because tools like webpack make it easy to manage tons of code and you won’t notice until you test it on mobile, slow WiFi, etc.

It depends what treatment protocol you're following.

The IV protocols for non-life-threatening cases usually involve a number of treatments over a short period (say 6 over 2 weeks), then increased spacing until a satisfactory equilibrium between avoiding symptom recurrence and not spending too often strapped to an IV is achieved.

I believe the nasal spray treatments are more frequent and less potent, but I've no firsthand experience with those, just the knowledge that one of the major limiters on getting a ketamine derivative into people's hands outside of an IV bag is the variability of dosage through e.g. nasal spray. (You can get a prescription for ketamine in a nasal spray from compounding pharmacies right now, but you will likely have decent variability of dosage each time.)
Your Golang mention reads as a total non-sequitur. I'm not even sure what it means. I think you are mad that they didn't provide a way to pin dependencies built-in to the language from the get-go? But few if any languages provide that. In every case I can think of, package management is done by an external tool. The only exception is... oh right, Golang now builds it in, including the ability to pin old versions. Sure it took a while, but what does that have to do with anything else you say here?

If anything Golang is a counter-argument to your thesis about why GCP isn't taking off. You're right that Google has done abysmally with its commitment to keeping services running for the long haul. But Go itself has been remarkably stable and compatible over the years since its introduction. Far moreso than Python, Rust, or JS in the same time period.
Not exactly Forth, but I implemented a small branchless Forth-like language in Go for audio synthesis and music:

https://github.com/boomlinde/acidforth

I think entirely procedural languages are a nice fit for this domain since they make order of operations apparent. Going for something Forth-like was obvious, since it's terse, trivial to implement and makes factoring easy.

That said, I think the documentation of this project is a bit out of date, that the overall architecture is flawed and that stack juggling can be a bit distracting when working with more complex algorithms. I intend to rewrite it some day.
I completely agree and hope they unionize. I've worked with two people that used to work at mid size game studios and it sounds like hell. They both quit a couple of years (!) after having kids.
Sorry, I should have made clear that it was an ironic statement. My bad.
Note that RFC is not implemented and not stable; this means it’s not in Rust.

If you can find memory unsafety in safe Rust, it would be a huge deal. Please file bugs. That doesn’t seem to be what you’re saying, though.
Shopify Q4 revenues up 54 per cent, passes $1B annual sales mark
I always think the next surfing experience (dialling through radio frequencies, surfing the early web, etc) will be dialling/browsing between "mirrorworlds". I doubt there'll be one. Although the fear is we're already being segmented into alternative realities. Imagine the ramifications we're already experiencing in that kind of context.
This could be useful for generating cyclic color maps [0], of which there is a dearth in matplotlib. Cyclic color maps are great for coloring angles where one wants 2π periodicity.

I think by going the "enterprise playbook" route, with an Oracle guy no less, Google are ignoring the long tail at their own peril.

With the cloud market still relatively new, a lot of the adoption decisions, especially in small and mid-sized companies, are not made at C-level, but driven (directly and indirectly) bottom up from the technical teams.

And a major driver there is familiarity with the platform. And familiarity is driven by how easy it is to quickly set something up and play around with to see if it fits your needs. Even appeal for developers' private projects could tip the scales here.

And while Google isn't so bad on the technical end of this, they certainly are when it comes to signing up and to pricing. So, ultimately, AWS has a kind of bottom-up push that G can't match and certainly won't by playing the enterprise playbook.

Add to that their track record with killing services, and their generally less than approachable support, and it's no wonder they're single-digit.
types also don't cover all issues. otherwise your types proof your code is 100% correct.
> The power balance is so skewed in the direction of the employee in the software industry

I really don't think this is nearly as true today as it was say, 20 years ago. Anecdotal evidence, sure - but my experience is that developers are crying out for unionisation, but have a bunch of rock-star crap in their heads which tells them that they're somehow going to release a groundbreaking new game or app that changes their lives completely, rather than acknowledging the more likely reality that they'll be constantly getting screwed by an industry that will automate their job away as soon as it becomes even vaguely possible.
The business value they’ve gained by earning the trust to not kill services is far higher than their cost to keep some old things in maintenance mode, I assume
I dunno about you, but most people don’t react to insults with physical injury, though in extreme cases that does happen.

Not that baseless insults should be encouraged.

This will bring up very interesting questions about who owns real-life property in AR:

In the real world: Burger King is not allowed to enter a McDonalds property and plaster their ads all over the place!

But what about AR? Let's assume there is a really popular AR app and it supports placing ads in certain spaces. Would BK allowed to place virtual ads on real-world McDonalds property? Or would McDonalds have grounds for suing because their real-world property extends into AR?
Still it is possible to write J2EE on any language (wrote J2EE on purpose).
