Microsoft Monaco Editor's IE11 Issue
Suppose I ran a business and regularly published a statement "As of (date) I have not done (thing)."

Now suppose I've been forced to do (thing) with the additional instruction not to reveal what I've done. Do I stop publishing that statement?

If I stop publishing, my customers are going to draw the worst possible conclusions, that they were the specific customer targeted. So, my existing customers start moving away and new customers are deterred from signing up.

Also, I'd probably get in trouble for revealing that I did (thing). Any protests I could make that I didn't technically reveal anything probably won't be effective.

On the other hand, if I keep publishing updated statements as if nothing happened, my customers keep paying and I don't have to be martyr.

What would you do?
Can confirm the foods from Norway are all popular and considered typical for the region.

As renholder points out some (kaviar in tube) are maybe more popular in Sweden, but still Norwfian as well.

Three things I miss as a Norwegian:

-raspeball/raspekake/kompe/klubb/ball (mashed and/or shredded potatos mixed with wheat and barleuy flour, formed as lumps and boiled together with salted (and possibly smoked meat, typically pigs knucles or cured meat from sheep) and served with carrots and rutabaga, sausage and bacon. Where I grew up people would also add syrup and/or sugar. Needless to say a full meal of this might take some effort to get down ;-)

- sheeps head (literally). Typically not everyday food but for special occations or as a Sunday dinner once a year. Two versions exist that I'm aware of: 1. which is the one I grew up with which consists of splitted, cured sheep heads that are then boiled 2. "Smalahove" which are typically roasted over open fire before being steamed or boiled (I think, I haven't prepared those myself, but I've eaten them and they taste wonderfully).

- kjøttkake which you can think of as a version of the IKEA Swedish meatballs, only larger, coarser and with far better seasoning. Can be eaten any day of the week, including Sunday. Really tasty and probably easier to get along with than raspeball and especially skjelte.

Well, having trillions of dollars go to one person instead of defeating a bill because a politician wants to cling to power. That's.. unrealistic.

In fact, if I offer 1 billion dollars to each politician that votes for my bill of 1 trillion dollars for me? Well, I get 1 trillion dollars, and politicians get a cut. I keep at least 600 billion dollars. Still overall a loss for democracy.

I think culture is the issue. Independence of judiciary and anti-corruption investigations will lead to a golden democracy. Few countries can accomplish this.
Yes, easily. What problem did you have using it on a gigabit network?

I'm using it for two years now on my gigabit FTTH connection, running in a LXC container on my router. No problems to report.

Tesla's growing 50% / year, and the valuation shows expected future earnings.

Only some Chinese electric car companies grow faster than Tesla.

So far it looks like in 10 years electric cars will get cheaper than gas cars, which makes the case for the future earnings potential.
> Elon is referring to the last sentenced your quoted from the interview.

No, he isn't. The thread you link is discussing this sentence:

> I mean that's not realistic, because I am the largest shareholder in the company and a very high percentage of the shareholders support me and the company. So essentially I could just pull for a shareholder vote and get anything I want [provided I could get support for at least a third of the other shareholders].

(The material within [] was apparently not quoted by CBS. This is a fair complaint for Elon Musk to make, but it's not part of anything I quoted, and it doesn't address the settlement, compliance efforts, or the relationship between Musk and the SEC.)
Long ago, when I was at Amazon, we used Collaborative Filtering pretty heavily. It's great when there's a heavily sweetened path with lots of things ordered together or in a chain.

OVH Kubernetes Managed Free
253 IIRC: 256 less two bytes for a 16-bit line number and one for either an EOL marker or a length indicator (I forget which it used and I'm feeling too lazy to look it up ATM).

Though there was also a limit (also ~256) to the line on entry, which you would normally hit first because keywords are stored tokenised: "PRINT" would be stored as one byte not five.
I think you're seriously underestimating both cost sensitivity, and the degree to which chip packaging evolves.

I worked on a bit of premium consumer electronics. Retail would be about $80. That allowed an electronics BOM cost of $20. When selecting the processor, the size of the flash was a more dominant effect than RAM, clock speed or chip peripherals, because we're in the $1 vs $1.20 region.

There is a lot of software running in some very cheap electronics, all around you all the time. Everyone just forgets because it's all designed in corporations and not talked about on the internet so much.
This doesn't make sense to me. I don't think apartment complexes or individual landlords (who generally aren't super sophisticated) are thinking this way. Also, I just don't think this logic is sound. An individual landlord (or apartment) isn't going to affect the market as a whole.
Using cars is embedded into the DNA of American people so deeply that I am not sure it can be changed. I remember the first time I was in LA for a longer period and somebody did not believe me that I do not own a car. She literally though I am a liar and I do not want to share with her what sort of car I drive instead of believing me that I do not have one.
Peaceful? Weren't they being radicalized and committing acts of terror including running over people with cars similar to the attack in Nice, France?
Kubernetes isn't even necessary for medium and large businesses. It's more a question of what problem you're trying to solve.

Kubernetes is only relevant if you have the need to scale your service quickly and/or often. If you run it on your own hardware the value is even more tricky to work out, it can still be a benefit. Whether or not it help you save on hardware cost is extremely dependent on your usage.
Mechanical circuits could be a low performance replacement for electronics in environments where the latter fail, e.g. because of high temperatures or radiation.

I think I remember something about an idea for a mechanical communications system for a Venus lander that worked by wheels that increased or decreased radar reflections so data could be read from orbit by bouncing a radar signal off it.

Maybe combine stuff like this?

I was first exposed to Redis when I first started building NodeJS sites using ExpressJS many years ago. There was a session caching layer that used Redis that “just worked” and was fast. Later I had other opportunities to use Redis and the more I used it the more my appreciation grew. However I echo some of the well put discussions in this thread about Redis clustering. Thank you Antirez!

Could they not increase the price in the following years if the market price goes up?

An apartment sitting idle should be a disaster - the higher rent obtained in the following years would need to be significantly higher just to break even in terms of yield.

I would've thought as full occupancy as possible at all times, i.e. renting out at market rates, would be the most profitable strategy.

The problem is that the bottom end of 1k RAM still exists. In fact, because the main change is that it gets cheaper every year, it's even more prevalent. Just because there aren't lots of blog posts, doesn't mean that isn't a large proportion of the industry.

The word 'embedded' is not well defined, but if you use it on things with 1GB of RAM, what do you call a PIC with 1K?

My personal definition of embedded (which is of course still flawed) is anything without an MMU. A Raspberry Pi isn't embedded for instance, it's just a small computer, just like a phone.
Another Aussie here, can vouch that asking "any Aussie" to sing "the Vegemite song" is not recommended at all.
One thing I think OSS developers / projects would benefit from is (self) certification.

Let's say you write a great piece of software that has no need of updating. But Redis keeps evolving - making new releases.

You could just each release of Redis run a series of checks and add a "verification" that we support version 1.0,1.1,1.2 of redis.

But even better is if someone else does this - why? Because it solves a problem I have seen a lot on government circles - the "we cannot use OSS because it is not supported"

But if another company says "we have reviewed, tested and used" version X of php-Redis then you suddenly have a self supporting eco-system.

Webshops that care about winning tenders can say "this software is supported by dozens of providers around the globe" so if it's original user goes off line there are still people who provably have skills and experience with it.

Everyone wins

(note - I am in no way saying this is something you should have done or thought about or arranged - writing software is hard enough without these sort of long term, unprofitable, activities - it's just matches observations i have on getting oss into government (plug: http://www.oss4gov.org/manifesto)

I had a similar experience 20 years prior, replacing HyperCard with Logo and the iMac with Apple IIe (aka //e.)

The class was very rigid, giving us instructions on what to do.

However, a few of us deviated from the rules and enjoyed learning on our own, finishing the assignments quicker just so we could try out new things.

Of course we got in trouble in class, but many of these same students got into trouble in other classes. (I tended to ask too many questions, I believe I was told.)

It kind of makes sense if the apartment is more valuable as new than as having been rented out before. But I do not think that is the case in Dublin.

Even if the apartment prices are rising rapidly and you plan to sell the apartment once the price goes up - why not also collect rental yield while you are waiting?

> Public roads are supposed to be paid for through fuel taxes

Some States do, California does not. The underlying issue is that California roads can infamously cost an order of magnitude more to build and maintain per mile than the same road segment in other States (e.g. interstate highways). It is possible to pay for roads with fuel and use taxes, in some other States it is a constitutional requirement, but the extreme cost of roads in California make it difficult to fund the DoT that way and there is no evidence that California is going to curtail the obvious waste anytime soon.

I think developers need to learn to build to last. We have medical software that hasn’t been updated for two decades that runs just fine.

That’s often unobtainable with modern software development because we rely so much on things that change too often, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

It’s a paradigm shift of course, but I think our business really needs to take maintainability more seriously than it does. This goes for proprietary software as much as Open Source, but with Open Source there is the added layer of governance.

I work in the public sector and we operate quite a few Open Source projects with co-governance shared between different muniplacities, and the biggest cost is keeping up with updates to “includes”. It’s so expensive that our strategy has become to actively avoid tech stacks that change too often.

If DOM access to the page were to come to WASM what is the expectation that deveopers suddenly learn to appreciate and execute DOM instructions? On what basis do you form your answer?

Due to the phobias I described above my expectations of success are low, and rightly so. Rather, people are whining for something they don't have in their favorite language and if they get it the results will be a shit show. I espcially doubt advanced topics, such as accessibility, will be successful. If subjects that actually are challenging were taking seriously these developers wouldn't be crying something simple, like executing the DOM from JavaScript.
Download count is a reasonable proxy for use... But if someone is happily using the package in production, that won't tick any download numbers even though it's arguably the thing anyone considering a package would really want to know.

Maybe there could be a new curated repo for packages, where users are asked to regularly vouch whether they are still using the package? The problem of course is motivating users to give those answers. Without a critical mass of users regularly vouching, the data isn't much help.

An alternative to forcing them to the command-line, you could use http://guacamole.apache.org/ so they could run VSCode on the target machine via VNC or RDP. That way nothing needs to be installed on the chromebook: it is just visiting a web application over HTTP(S). I've used it to gain access to my remote machines from an environment where the only possible outgoing connections were HTTP(S).

Of course the target machines need to be beefy enough for all the students to be running VSCode and any compilation & output on at the same time, which almost certainly rules out a single rPi! You'd need a much larger machine or a little farm of Pi-class units.

>this has the same great K8S API, that Swarm lacks. (Deployment is a first class citizen in kube land, but you only have to make do with the service YMLs in the Swarm sphere.)

With all due respect, some (like me) consider that a feature of Swarm.

If k3s comes with the same API (and implicit yaml complexity) of k8s, but just reduces RAM usage...well that's not very interesting for me.

Docker Swarm is very lean - there are zillions of videos of how people are building interesting raspberry Pi stacks using it (https://youtu.be/mMpZpa7uUSk).

But for most people using Swarm - they are using it for one reason only : simplicity.
>>The Bolt has the specs to be what the Model 3 promised to be but isn't

Could be that this is the same large company problem that is often seen elsewhere. In most established firms it impossible to bring up a new line of products that cannibalize the existing products. In order for any large car manufacturer to make it big on EV, they have to allow their EV offering to beat their existing products, that's impossible in most companies.

Besides merely the car isn't what Tesla is about. The fact that you can bypass dealerships, online ordering, supercharger network etc kind of add to a new paradigm of doing things. For existing manufacturers, they will have to kill a lot of their existing business to get that to work.
