Haha yeah. In my experience running top internet sites, honestly if you don’t have consistency you probably have a very unskilled engineering team, or you don’t need availability either because your company is irrelevant.

A good question for someone who doesn’t think consistency is important is: If you have 200 different records that should all be the same but are different due to lack of consistency, which one of those records do you believe? Usually met by blank stares.

Change for change's sake is bad. Think of the tech debt.
Biggest missing piece here is what drives the plan and the development. Delivering value? How is the value defined and where's that coming from? Customer surveys every few months? Number of clicks on a feature or page?

Can't have a great product launch without understanding the customer and that includes acquiring them through sales & marketing. Iterative development is almost a given at this point.

> As other have said, iPhones have an external modem and are fine. Qualcomm insisted on this because they had it, and they're good at marketing.

Addressing the second sentence - I have no knowledge of what transpired but my assumption would be a combination of Apple didn't want to have their SOC's fab'd by Qualcomm for the sake of an integrated modem, and Qualcomm didn't want TSMC fab'ing their modem IP into Apple's SOC's, so the obvious solution was a discrete modem which was a product they could offer.
The thing's brand spanking new, that's the biggest sign for "prototype/development use only!"

What you're asking for is actually very common with wine. A lot of cheap reds and chards are made with oak chips in the stainless vats, and it's pretty controversial because it results in a different flavor profile from using oak barrels.

Edit: From Wikipedia's article on oak aging [0]:

> Oak chips have the benefit of imparting intense oak flavoring in a matter of weeks while traditional oak barrels would need a year or more to convey similar intensity. Critics claim that the oak flavoring from chips tend to be one-dimensional and skewed towards the vanilla extract with the wines still lacking some of the physical benefits that barrel oak imparts.[16] The use of oak powder is also less common than chips, although they are a very practical alternative if oak character is to be introduced during fermentation. Oak planks or staves are sometimes used, either during fermentation or aging. Wines made from these barrel alternatives typically do not age as well as wines that are matured in barrels.

You have to allow time for adaptation to the different kind of training... One session on an empty stomach from a fasting newb is not the same as someone who is metabolically adept at fasting training.

Lots of people are exercising while fasted. Body builders, power lifters, and athletes across the strength/endurance spectrum. For things like camping or distance jogging, being able to start at 6:00 and go until 16:00 without food is a game changer.

And, no: people who are training fasted aren't training hungry... Their hunger chemicals dissipate after 20-30 min because they're fasted ;)

Some might imagine it as eschewing heedless amateurism in favor of mature professionalism.

One starting point might be re-examining if all the negativity shown in reaction to Zero Server is actually excessive. Some of it surely is! It's also perhaps possible that some of it could be viewed as the horrified reactions of professionals who care about quality (and think about downstream effects) coming face-to-face with reckless engineering.

Yeah, no kidding. I donated (a few times actually) to cover hosting costs, not to make wikipedia into some kind of lifestyle brand. This is wasteful.
Text on the link you provided reads like theoretical benefits of working in pair programming rather than actual anecdotal experience.

Wikimedia has sufficient assets to host Wikipedia in perpetuity ($91 million @ 4 percent withdrawal rate = $3.64 million, ~$1 million above their current hosting tech and people costs). As long as Wikipedia text and media dumps are archived in the Internet Archive, it's not going to disappear even if Wikimedia Foundation goes defunct.

No further fundraising is required, ever, if properly managed.
Awesome. Now I want to make one shaped like the Cardcaptor Sakura grimoire.

If this were to go through, they should just make WC be called "Wikimedia." Wikipedia is a wiki encyclopedia, Wikimedia should be a wiki of media. What is a wiki of a commons?
My opinion on luxury goods is that they're to be enjoyed, not to fuel an interminable contest of one-upsmanship. If you aren't rich, you can still buy a $250 bottle of "real" Balsamic vinegar and have a tasting party with your friends. Then you can go right back to the cheap stuff that's only 80% as good, but at 5% the price, and for the rest of your life remember the better flavor whenever using the cheaper stuff, and try to trick your brain into thinking that's what you have now. Or... you can just use it one drop at a time, and make that $250 bottle last 10 years.

Scent and taste are great memory triggers. If ordinary orange juice from concentrate can remind you of that one time you had really great fresh-squeezed orange juice in season, it's almost like you can have the good stuff all year round, without paying the same costs. If you're so rich that you can constantly chase after new memories and never savor the old ones, congratulations. But don't begrudge others their shortcuts to memories of past experiences.
I thought we moved away from this sort of structure as an improvement?
Do you think they would they have fixed the problem if they weren't called out publicly?
They're only well-funded for now. That funding can go away if enough people, such as yourself, complain about this. They need to sustain themselves, just like any other organization. If they are a net negative in the world, I would withhold donations. For producing material like this? It's still a net positive and therefore still worthy of donating to.
> I feel like containers are alright, but Docker is a partial dumpster fire. cgroup isolation is good, the crazy way we deal with packages in container systems is not so good.

Can you expand on this? With respect to packages a container is just a mounted file system. A base image is just a way to start with a known file system state. You can do whatever you want to the file system state using whatever package manager you like. In what way should docker have attempted to exert more control over the file system to improve package management?

Author here. We don't break that prompt, however there are some problems. First is that Macs have no prompt at all, so you just need to use a device on the whitelist and you're approved.

Second, the prompt says 'you attached a thing, do you want to allow it?'. The name is often not descriptive, eg 'CalDigit TS3' in our example, so users can't tell what rights are being asked for. As we've found on mobile, when apps pop up prompts about permissions users are conditioned to agree. Also, users can be deceived by putting a sticker on the malicious device with the name on the prompt - the writing on the plastic agrees with the prompt, so the device must be legit. An attacker can also play social engineering tricks - "say 'approve' to enable fast charging" for example.

Finally, it's possible to swap out the PCIe devices behind a Thunderbolt bridge without re-prompting. We took a commercial Thunderbolt dock, removed the PCB with the dock's PCIe peripherals and replaced it with another PCIe card. Windows did not notice that the device had changed and didn't prompt again.

Docker Hub has been providing 3rd party component details for some years now.

Those sound like rare odds.
Not just performance. Reliability and data loss are also bad. All of these adapters do raid-0, which means any one card failure (very common, I have seen it a lot in my personal devices) will damage the volume.

As I have a lot of odd SD cards unused in drawers I would be more interested in these adapters if they exposed every card as its own drive so I could do ZFS, or if they did "real" raid.
Sitkack's comment was specific. Read it.
As an approximation, we can estimate each face with an approximation to the binomial at looking at where the cut off is for rejections at p=0.05.

If you're looking at a single face,

With 2000 rolls, you would expect a range of 81-120. (0.0405- 0.0600)

At 3000 rolls, that "narrows"\* to 127-174 (0.0423 - 0.580)

At just 100 rolls, anywhere between 1 and 10 occurences looks fair.

However, it would be better to do a proper chi-squared test, this was just illustrative, so let's do that.

Let's take the chessex opaque purple, which looks like it has 8300 rolls.
By our approximations above, we expect to see rolls between 377 and 454.

In our actual data we appear to have a minimum of 313 with face13, and a maximum of 531 with face17.

So let's do a pearson's chi-squared test. Rolling 8300 times we expect 415 for each face.

We calculate for each observation, the difference between that and the expected value, and divide by the expected value, and then sum over all faces.

This gives a value of 155.3108 . We then have to compare this to the chi-squared test for 19 degrees of freedom. (There are 19 degrees of freedom because we have 20 faces, so after we have 19 results, the 20th must be fixed by being 8300 minus the sum of the first 19 faces).

Digging out our statistical tables (you DO have statistical tables right?), and lookup at 19 degrees of freedom, we can see 155 far exceeds even the p=0.01 level.

So we can conclude that the chessex opaque purple die rolled here is biased. (Or the die-roller is).

\* It narrows in proportion to the total, the absolute margin is wider. This is something that people often forget when dealing with the law of large numbers.
First thing I can think of is that it may matter if the distribution isn’t linear, although not really sure how it would.

The second more straightforward one is that the spindown dice vary from set to set and even within the set sometimes. As such the weighting is likely going to vary a lot.

I will gladly look over anyone's proposals if they ask :)
Completely agreed. I prefer 100-character lines; with that, I have less line-breaking, and I can still easily fit two code windows side-by-side on my widescreen monitors. 120 characters would be good too, but I think anything over that yields greatly diminishing returns.

There is certainly some grey area in how the law should be implemented. Should the police disclose only those who have been convicted of a crime AND who have exhausted all appeals?
It’s all about “incompetence”. Unions fight these disclosures because disclosing a policeman’s identity would potentially exclude the employee from certain jobs.

That gives the government an easy path to bypass the disciplinary process — just arrest an officer for some bullshit charge and transfer them to a job where their identity must be secret.

I'm completely sure that you're right. You know that would be irresponsible and reckless with lots of very sensitive data.

"In addition, the order requires the defendants to notify Amazon, Inc. that they purchased Amazon reviews of their Quality Encapsulations Garcinia Cambogia capsules and to identify to Amazon the purchased reviews."

Online reviews don't work without trust. Maintaining trust is done by Amazon in this case, but sometimes the job is too big, especially at this scale. Amazon needs better tools perhaps, but the judgement of a court, backed up by a state? Damn, that is a powerful way to ensure there is some minimum level of trust in the marketplace.

I'm against too much government interference in the marketplace, but it's in everyone's interest to increase trust in the marketplace rather than let it become a market for lemons.
>you're tacitly admitting you either dont believe in prisons as an effective tool for correction

Yes, I saw that. Presuming that it was "a few", I assumed that it hadn't affected the vote much.

I mean, it still shouldn't happen at all. But you could detain a million people and it wouldn't be the cause of an 85% yes vote among 8 million people.
OK, what if you provided total read-only access, to everything on all of your machines, networks, communications and so on, to someone like me. Someone who you could trust 100%. And whose reputation depended on that. Someone who was totally anonymous (which I'm not, but I could have another persona that was). And someone with such deep backdoors into your stuff that they couldn't be evicted.

And so it's that person who maintains the warrant canary.

Or instead, it could be an ~undocumented feature of your outside counsel. Because you do have the right to outside counsel, I think, even regarding NSLs.

He's probably right about nlp robot garbage being the future. Same as how we don't build pyramids anymore. Brick buildings have given way to toothpicks and foam.

To visualize chip density my go-to used to be thread count on bedding sheets.

For 400 thread count sheets (which means 200 widthwise, 200 lengthwise threads per square inch), that 1990s compact flash card would be about 1.6ft squared. You could sort of imagine a tape-out of that complexity being shrunk down through projection.

Now at these densities it is no longer holding up well. 1TB would be a sheet that was about 1100ft x 1100ft. The tape-out itself seems like it would have to be sized to already be the after-shrunk-down version of 1990's tape-outs.

You're really describing the other half of the same issue. The larger picture is that while the private sector is treating any conviction as a permanent black mark, the good old boys club is doing the exact opposite.

I do agree that a serving your sentence should mean that your sentence has been served, as opposed to continuing lists and restrictions after you're supposedly "free". But if we're going to allow that mark to continue in some form indefinitely, then it should have more effects on people in true positions of trust (eg police) rather than fewer!

This pattern of double standard rights erosion is happening across the board. Police enjoy "Garrity rights" whereby they can actually exercise their 5th amendment rights, whereas a private employee can be compelled to testify against themselves under threat of being fired. Someone who works for the government retains their freedom of speech protections, whereas a job in the private sector can be easily lost due to doxxing by an online lynch mob.

Ultimately, this two class system came about because rights were codified only as protections from the government, as there is no simple way to draw a line between freedom of association and negative consequences. But given that we've gotten to the point where the vast majority of the population must hold down a job, this needs to change with respect to the general labor market.
