Is Google Music the same as Youtube Music because I signed up a 2-3 weeks ago and have found it to be horrid at finding new music. No matter what I do it keeps trying to sneak in popular tracks into recommendations. I think of the 200 to so songs I've gone through I've clicked dislike on 185 and it still keeps pouring in the crap. As an example I put in "Anja Garbarek" and picked "Radio" and it played Maroon 5 ?!?. I put in "BodyRockers" and it played rap and EDM.
Yeah...when it comes to investment advice timing is everything
I suppose that's a bit better but I was kind of objecting to the NYT and other large papers habit of sourcing these anonymous comments from government officials. This is not a one-off thing. It's their status quo.
Google doesn't have an "h1b salary", true. My position is that h1b's tend to lean towards the lower end of a published range for a role, creating a salary marketplace that benefits the employer (which is an abuse of the h1b system; it's to be used to fill roles where domestic talent isn't available, not where it's too expensive)
Why is that understandable?
> So how do you punish these banks and not hurt the 10,000+ workers who had no part in this?

If the C-Suite or other senior managers make bad decisions they can put the business at risk. That's one of the inherent risks in working for a company. It's unfortunate that there might be collateral damage, but if you work for a corrupt company that gets shut down because it was corrupt I don't think you should expect to be bailed out. It's partially on employees to blow the whistle on bad behavior earlier or to leave those companies. It's also very possible that those corrupt companies grew to be so big because of corruption, so it would be weird to bail them out.
Your question is how can you continue to be compensated highly in this fast changing industry that already compensates very well. It's a tough question and I don't think anyone has a magic bullet for you.

Here's some general tips from the business side:

- When you are struggling to compete, differentiate yourself and find a smaller, more specialized audience. Don't attempt to compete head on unless you believe you have an upper hand.

- There are skillset that are always subject to the whims of the day but there are also skillsets that do not: among them are (1) the ability to sell yourself and (2) the ability to manage and motivate others. These two skills have stood the test of time and if you commit yourself to at least getting better at them, so will you.

I'm a developer in my 30s who retrained after being a lawyer. I flat out tell people I'm not that great a developer. I have never gotten a job from having to prove my technical skill and have not yet needed to. I rely on my network, find a specialized niche market (startups that have just figured out how to make money but don't yet have a product orientated tech leader), and I impress upon them non-coding abilities (I ask them a load of questions about their business and operations and talk about strategy, product, organization challenges - things they don't get from a typical developer candidate). You should not adopt the same strategy but maybe think about what non-technical skills makes you differentiated and where those skills might be needed most.
Github login also requires a phone number, which is definitely something I'm not willing to enter.

It's depressing, but keep in mind for a lot of people in game development that do not have a lot of credits - they just want to complete a game to add it to their CV. It used to be (back in the 90's/2000's not sure how true this is now) that companies would not even look at your resume if you had not worked on a game that shipped for a lot of positions. I can remember being surprised at my first job in game development how passionate the arguments were in team meetings about how people were listed in the credits.

Also, I've worked separately at a publisher and company that contracted development of work to smaller development studios and I can remember it was much more common in my experience for the publisher or primary company looking at the milestone work and deciding it was not good enough and to terminate the contract and then having to look at the source code/assets and trying to assess the state and resurrect those games and that was no fun either, just sad to think about the opportunity cost for those involved and people who were probably going to get laid off, though usually one could look at the code and see the big picture problems in a day or two.

Granted, the monetary policy certainly helped, but when you spend billions investing in a country to only have that money literally stolen from you, so much so that a court ordered PDVSA to pay Conoco $2 billion, all investment is going to leave the country.

>There is nothing "toxic" about the internet except for the centralization of communication on a handful of corporate controlled social networks that have perverse incentives to censor anything that might impact their advertising or other income.

There are definitely other problems besides a centralized internet. Consider attacks by corporate and state level enemies in the form of astroturfing and fake news. Those issues existed outside of a centralized internet, and arguably can be addressed better by centralized access to information.

Look at the great firewall of China: do you think the Russian disinformation campaign could succeed there to the extent it did in the west? Free access to the internet lowers the barrier for bad actors. Having said that, I obviously prefer the western model of internet access, but I'd like to state that it doesn't come without its own set of problems.

What? Nobody believes that you can just saddle up, head to Montana, and homestead yourself a wind farm. (It'd be a cool sci-fi setting, though).

People do think that there are vast areas of cheap and lightly utilized land outside of the urban corridors which could produce more money with solar, wind, etc than they do today. They believe this because it is 100% correct, and would be correct whether you were talking about renewable energy or any other light industry.

The author seems to think that because this land is used at all and not free solar etc cannot go there, which is a baffling claim to me on both points.
It does. When I tune (warning - I am novice) I tune middle octaves, then go up and down the scale with octave intervals. And then check the whole instruments tuning notes that sound off. String itself stretches and loses the pitch a little sometimes, especially if it was out of tune by quarter tone. But more importantly string peg that holds the string is just screwed into the hardwood board. So when you tune it, you still have some room for it to settle. Even slight press with tuning hammer on the peg can result in big difference in tune. Especially on high notes.

Agreed. I normally use the two together. Basically plan what I need to do the night before (no more than 20 mins). During the day - shut off instant messenger and email (mostly drives my boss nuts) from 10am-1pm and 3pm-5pm and work on 50 minute work/ 10 minute break pomodoro intervals.

Helps immensely in getting code/math/design/docs/etc. done. I'll do this about 3 days of the week.
The funny part is that they don’t scan the kind of spam that is blanketed to your area like grocery store inserts and local gym offers (the stuff that isn’t actually addressed to you). They do still scan the targeted spam like credit card offers and such. They don’t scan magazines either. Just individually addressed envelopes and postcards.
Note well his definition of "is": "Now, not ten years ago, and I hope not in another ten years." Maybe you're actually agreeing with him?
It's crazy how much SimCity cities look like the cities we've built for the last 75 years. Our cities really can be simplified to a game "fun" for someone to dive in right away. My thesis is that cities are oversimplified and stratified into easily separable blocks because they're easier to "industrialize" that way. This is causing crazy transportation requirements and isolation. If we mixed uses up a bit we could save on transportation overhead and be exposed to more things. The driver of this SimCity pattern of development is undoubtedly the single occupancy automobile. Sprawl works best for the car and the car works best for sprawl. Denser, mixed up uses work best with walking, biking, and transit. Conspiracy theorist in me says the auto industry influenced city planning from the ground up because they could profit off of it. Who profits when you walk more? Well, everyone... healthier bodies, healthier minds, more efficient transportation, etc. etc. etc.
No one changes their mind about their choice of stack, languahe, etc. Let alone the many threads that devolve into discussion about how to raise children or something. I’ve been here for years and I’ve awent the exact same arguments and threads dozens of time.

To run this test, we used Stressgrid with twenty c5.xlarge generators.
I didn't infer they are always inappropriate, just that they are not good for latency and performance sensitive systems, i.e. they shouldn't be considered unless absolutely necessary.
“The list” is public, or more precisely there are several such lists published by different government agencies. A “list of lists” for the US is available at

> Google All Music Access

nitpick, but it's “Google Play Music All Access”
Energy is a matter of national security and a source of big money, it's easy to see why the government would protect these interests against the pesky locals.
The workaround is to do a temporary change of address, and contact each company that sends you mail forwarded from your old address individually, to update your address record. When the mail stops forwarding, you stop getting mail from anyone that you didn't explicitly inform of your new address.

The permanent change of address triggers advertising that targets new residents. Restaurants want to try to snag your regular business before you find other options on your own. Hardware stores expect that you might be doing some post-move remodeling. Insurers might try to sell you on a new homeowner or renter policy. Cable and phone companies offer you limited-time deals for new customers.

It's a one-time deluge that tails off pretty quickly. The USPS makes a lot of their revenue from periodicals (2nd class) and marketing (3rd class) mail.
that is depressing. early 40s isn't even that old. are your salary demands outrageous, or do you just think it's outright ageism?
I think maybe it's a hockey-stick like graph on the speed...

Think about cigarettes and tobacco. Fairly flat for a while, a few upticks, gradual rising, and then - in the last decade or so, this rapid increase in legislation and other means by consumers against it.

Part of it has to do with attitudes and understanding about harms, and getting the public to understand this. At some point it reaches this breaking point, but that also seems to correlate with technologies to allow for alternatives (witness in the case of tobacco the rise of vaping products, as well as tobacco-free nicotine products becoming OTC and cheaper).

While I think you are right that acceptance of "natural beef" or other similar protein will drop once a viable artificial alternative becomes available, it won't really take off until that alternative can replicate a good portion of the other products out there as well.

That is - for myself - all the artificial ground beef in the world won't get me to switch over and away from a proper well-marbled rib-eye steak, or a BBQ'd brisket or pork shoulder.

But if they could replicate those items as well, and do it at a comparable price, then I'm game for the change (which has been the downside to current analogues on the market - $12-15.00 USD per pound for artificial hamburger is not my idea of a financially sound choice).

I'm much the same for things like electric vehicles - just give me one that is off-road capable, 4WD, that I can lift and put on 30"-plus tires, and still give me a few hundred miles of driving range - and be inexpensive to purchase - then I'll do it.

Heck - even a cheap small 2WD pickup truck would be nice.

Not all of us want a sedan or sports car.
You're being downvoted, but I agree with the sentiment. The script is Debian-specific (requires apt) and all it does is basically run `/etc/init.d/tor restart` after it installs something that is inside of a repository. Not much of anything going on here.

Another vacuous gray-eige individual with absolutely nothing to say, who feels they need to say something, because a blog somewhere said they should.

Rather then turning inward to optimize whatever lame version of happiness some Netflix documentary, self-help book or YouTube video said you should (ultimately all in the pursuit of 1 more extra meaningless dollar), you should instead read some actual literature, philosophy, economics, or political theory and actually get involved in helping your community now that you have the means.

Aping an ascetic lifestyle while you have a huge coffer and continue to pursue wealth accumulation is lame, unoriginal and bad for your mental health and the health of your greater community.

Stop trying to indoctrinate yourself with nonsense to justify your unhappiness and shallow lifestyle and instead seek actual self improvement through engaging with real and challenging intellectual material.

That's like saying if I send an email via Gmail, Google should feel free to do whatever it wants with the headers, because it's supposed to be publicly viewable so the mail server knows where it should go. (See also the NSA phone call metadata scandal.)

In reality, when you send a letter, you are placing it into the care of the postal service. Your letter is only handled by postal employees, and mailbox privacy is codified in federal law. There's clearly an expectation that the postal service is not releasing your information to third parties without your consent. The information on the outside of the envelope is not meant for, nor is it needed by, anyone other than the postal service
They actually don’t scan most of the spam. Only ones that end up getting scanned are credit card offers and those Comcast ones that try to look like official business letters. Seems more often than not they straight up don’t bother to email me though.
Very good points. Reminds me of the DeBeers-sourced "average cost of engagement ring" and the auto-industry's "average cost of new car" figures. It also takes advantage of the colloquial interpretation of "average" as meaning "normal". I think it all comes down to the endemic "journalism by press release" nature of a large portion of news media. But good journalism costs a lot of money, and the public is generally reluctant to pay for it in these relatively low importance subjects. That leaves the playing heavily tilted toward industries that are willing to spend to push their own narratives.

Right, which is why we need more information before we start throwing out notions that a particular group are systematically victimized. Hopefully studies like these will advance the conversation beyond "well on average $group1 makes more than $group2 ergo discrimination".
Move to Linux from where? Windows? SunOS?

> its really quite odd that the dominant open source platform settled on opaque and unreproducible binaries as the distribution mechanism early on

It was perfectly logical when I was installing slackware from floppies, and it remains more useful in most use cases - smaller downloads that installed faster. Debian's great innovation was dependency management of binary packages, after all.

No, Google Play Music (All Access or otherwise) is not the same thing as YouTube Music, though there have been reports and indications that YT Music may be planned to eventually replace GPM.
Although the price may be getting lower, I was lucky enough to hear a presentation from the head of Automotive Engineering at the University of Windsor. The professor conveyed that there are many other issues for power storage such as a limited amounts of cobalt and difficulty in retrieving it.

I inquired about what is likely to happen as cobalt is a relatively scarce resource if we are looking to use it for powering our world. He said he is sure that they [researchers] will find some substitute, but right now there is none.

As the scarcity of other elements in power storage increase, it may drive up the prices, even if the lithium itself can be sourced.
Luckily usps requires all new development to use cluster boxes so that should put an end to it for any new house.
Bootstrap's long delayed transition away from pixel sizing contributed to the problem.
I have been using specs ECS in rust for about a year and a half now and I think rust + ECSs work really nicely together.

However, I started with a simple stupid solution you describe. Despite that, I quickly realized I was going to end up coding an ad-hoc version of an ECS if I keep trying to do my own thing.

For reference, I am making a sim game like dwarf fortress so it has been kind of nice, though I think in the fullness of time I will probably end up writing my own ECS to replace specs or start contributing stuff to it.

I have used unity and UE4's "ECS" and I could see how they get a bad wrap. They aren't very good ECS systems and because the engine uses this model it forces people to use it.

One of the big advantages of writing a game from "scratch" is you are not burdened by weird architectures that don't make sense so experimenting first before makes sense. I don't know if I agree that ECS never have a place in game programming.
Even those who agree that porn is nothing bad would agree that it's nothing virtuous either.
Makes sense!

1 - Contract is ending soon and I'm scouring for a new one or FTE role while wading through strange interviews and lots of recruiters. This sort of gives me a sense.

2 - Outside of work is fine! I already spend 3-4 hours a week on personal tech reading. The issue is, you can read Docker all you want - companies want to see it in production. What do they ask?

"How many years of experience do you have in production with AWS/Docker/Kubernetes"

3 - A fair amount of risk

4 - Pay the bills! For the next 5-10 years.

No, it's helpful. Thank you.
I'm not under the impression the execs are risking jail, fines or lifetime job loss. The latter seems possible, but I haven't heard of many execs going to jail or suffering personal fines.
Is "nearly ten square miles" supposed to be a lot? The Black Thunder coal mine occupies a lot more land than that and the railroads needed for its 25 trains per day of coal occupy more space than any HVDC transmission system. The fact is we have more than enough free space for all the solar and wind America needs. Put PV all over Edwards AFB and you'd supply a substantial fraction of all of it.

By the way the USA has over 2 billion parking spaces. Somehow we find the space for what we value.
I’m not an expert in this but considering the purpose of these exploits is to gain knowledge of memory layout to then execute exploits against DRAM, simply securing your CPU isn’t going to be enough.
I see that you have gone back to claiming an interchangeability in meaning that is not supported either by dictionaries or general usage.

The 'fuzziness' is just a consequence of your (and the article's, and some comments, but by no means everybody's) idiosyncratic usage: by treating 'Byzantine empire' and 'Byzantine civilization' as if they were interchangeable terms, then you have to explain that civilization on the Bosporus did not end with the fall of Constantinople, as you did a couple of posts ago. If, however, you stick with the usage that is preferred by a ratio of 50:1, then the fuzziness and potential confusion goes away, as then you would be using two distinct terms for two distinct concepts.

Your last paragraph is a non-sequitur, as the issue is not whether 'civilization' just means urbanism here, but whether it means the same thing as 'empire'.
