I did intend to retire for good.

Now I’m thinking to maybe do coding a few months per year, and food delivery on bicycle for the rest, in order to get a work out and be useful to someone.

I realized, if I’m not useful, then I’m useless.
It's wonderful how much you know me. Funny thing is I know many programming languages (Java, Scala, Javascript, C++, C#, and a few others I've had dealings with). I also like Java AND the JVM. The difference between you and me, is that I can admit adoring something even if it's not trendy to do so.
Do you realize how absurd that sounds? "If we create this mythical beast that has nearly infinite powers then there will be plenty of money for everyone."

Do you honestly believe this drivel? Do you not realize you've basically wrapped yourself in the cloak of religious armageddon, rephrased for modern times?
Though it might finally do away with the ever-persisting Windows error messages about "this file is already open" followed by a search through all of the processes that might have it open to terminate the offender.
They needed the stores initially, to convince people that they're a going concern, have real cars that actually drive, and so on.

Now everybody knows them, so they don't think they need stores.

In a year or two, with EV competition heating up, they'll need real stores again. Test drive a Mercedes EV, test drive a BMW EV, and... oh that Tesla thing? I don't know, I can't drive one, better go with the 'real' manufacturer.

The 'closing stores' stunt is what got my dad to finally pull his Model 3 reservation money. You no longer need to 'wait in line', and he's already got priority as an S owner anyway, to the extent that it matters. He was pissed that they'd just jerk their retail employees around like that.

I'm wondering if I should buy autopilot now that it's down to $2000, before they raise the price again. It definitely wasn't worth $5000 to me. I'm not sure it's worth $2k, but if it's worth buying, it's worth buying at the lowest price!
A site in this space that's been indispensable to me for more than a decade now is Memeorandum (https://www.memeorandum.com/). (And they have a tech-news focused version as well, Techmeme: https://www.techmeme.com/)

Which isn't to say that a new entrant couldn't do this stuff better, of course! The more the merrier. I just mean that if your aim is to be the first thing I read every morning, here is who you will be trying to knock off the Iron Throne :-D
Broadcom? Chelsio? Marvell FastLinQ?
Oof, that needs to be fixed -- thanks!
In my experience going SPA seems to double the amount of code needed (at least).
>the article has (to me) a somewhat tenuous argument that saying the tone deaf joke of 'learn to code' is disrespectful to programmers and the like

Yeah, seems off to me too. If there's anything about the whole thing that's disrespectful to programmers, it's that journos think programming as a career path is beneath them.
That's great for you. Java works quite well for me and I've had no need to go elsewhere for a server-side language in the last five years. And what do you consider are ad-hoc frameworks? Spring is hardly ad-hoc.
Sure, and you are unique in this regard. Just look the developments of counter-antiadblocker rules making it on to Easylist. People don't even see those pleas.

Of course, the other issue is that this was only feasible under very specific and temporary circumstances, so it cannot be the answer to ads. Coinhive is done. The experiment failed.
I agree, people have really gotten hung up on the SPA issue.
> No amount of marketing can give you the thrill that you get when you slam the accelerator.

And this is something that is unique to EVs. Sure, a Porsche will have a very high max speed. But even it can't beat an eletric motor in acceleration.

Instant torque at any speed, not having to "rev up" and no gears are a massive benefit of having such simple drive trains.

I think other companies should take notice, and start offering higher performance EVs. Specially since the battery is the main cost driver, and electric engines are tiny. Add more power a 'premium' option.

It's not just about the environment, there are some measurable benefits of EVs for car enthusiasts.
I actually think data is the problem. People were making their purchases online but the in store experience is what was convincing them to make the purchase in the first place. Hard to measure that kind of conversion.
>It's a complex interaction of millions of individual decisions and interrelated changes over a period of decades in a way that's not reproducible.

Somewhat incidentally this is the major theme of Tolstoy's masterpiece War and Peace
There are some places where it makes sense, but they are overused.
None of those crashes are due to new undocumented features pilots totally don't need to be retained for.
Debian has Wayland support. Like I said, most distros work fine with Sway. It would be harder to find one that doesn't.
- Not all hotel owner/operator can write code.

- Spam: We get tons of spam FAXes too. But compare to emails, way less spam.

- Also, most of the people who send out fax have a hard time scanning and emailing documents.
It's not immediately obvious, but what class library does it work with? Gnu Classpath? Something else?

If this doesn't have a good deal of the rest of the built in Java ecosystem, then does it have much value or usefulness?

Does it have a possible advantage without a JIT, like being able to run in constrained amounts of memory?
there's no "they", there's only us. AWS paying to use it means we are paying to use it. Between that and a truly Apache 2.0 project, I think it's a no-brainer for everyone.
You may be right.

I wish I could have realized this when I had to work, because I chose to live in an existence where I caused myself and my coworkers suffering over the bullshit.

Being useful to someone was a need in me, but I thought I just worked for the paycheck. As the Jewish saying goes, “Man plans, God laughs”.
From the pom.xml of Open Distro for ElasticSearch: the fork is from elasticsearch-6.5.4, which is the latest stable release. Only alternative would have been v6.6.1. EDIT: also, nothing is there to believe they would not bump to higher versions in later versions.
Storage Spaces would just build around ZFS?

Can any microsoft folks discuss similarities/differences between dtrace and procmon? Besides the obvious gui vs commandline difference of course.

Is the performance on par with running dtrace on solaris?
Server-side rendering doesn't really have "new shiny". It works, just as it has, and that is a feature, not a bug.
Unfortunately, that's the world we live in at this moment where too many people need to find validation by belonging to some virtue group or another because they care what other people think. In hindsight, I'm not sure why I even cared enough to defend my position. Perhaps I'm not so different as I'd like to hope.
Maybe. I love Huel, and been using it for about 4 years now but I'm not enjoying the direction they have been going. Far too much sweetener, I have to make sure to go with the original, and not their new regular vanilla and even then it seems a bit too sweet at times. I almost want a savory version, but that's probably an unpopular opinion with everything trying to be cake and chocolate flavoured.

Calories taken in is far more significant to weight loss than calories burnt.
Ok thanks for the explanation. I still don't see what benefit I could get from buying shares right now as opposed to a few seconds later. Why should I pay for that?
Key word being 'similar'. The engine can be even more powerful, but there's still 'lag'.

Also, we are comparing a sedan, with plenty of space for passengers and cargo, with a dedicated sports car.
I get the impression that there's a lot of disagreement amongst developers regarding Microsoft's true intentions. I see three main clusters at the moment:

(1) Those who consider Microsoft to be reasonably trustworthy based on recent behavior.

(2) Those who will need Microsoft to continue its current behavior for a longer period before they're ready to trust.

(3) Those who consider Microsoft's current behavior to be at best a partial improvement over the past, or at worst a charm-offensive meant to distract from their ongoing bad behavior. E.g., Windows 10 with unavoidable snooping, and ongoing stealth patent attacks on Linux.
Some, but most "web applications" are just overly complex websites.
> Should this policy be changed?

The policy you have inferred from this single rejection does not appear to formally exist, so asking if it should be changed may be premature.
I wonder if they backport dtrace so it can be used on older Windows Servers (2012 for instance)? Or maybe they can somehow make it work in .NET Core only for such operating systems - it could still be very useful.
Outdoor Voices Blurs the Lines Between Working Out and Everything Else
I use i3 in tabbed mode, I like it more for the easy config, less memory hogging, and the ability to hit shift+mod+3 and move the current window to workspace 3 on my 3rd screen. or mod+left to move a tab left/right. etc... Also have everything auto-open/placed in the right window on startup is nice as well.
Depends on the lights you use and how efficiently you are using them. I use a simple kitchen light led system mounted under the kitchen cabinet to grow some herbs. 450 lumen, nothing fancy, just ordinary white kitchen leds. The system is rated at 14 W. So that's 0.014 kwh. It's on for about two thirds of a day. So, a month of running this would cost me about 7 kwh/month. Depending where you live that's about a 1-2$ in electricity cost per month. Low enough that I did not actually look up my KWH price so can't tell you down to the cent. But cheap enough and I like having fresh herbs around.

I've been running this over a month now. It's mainly a proof of concept before I invest in some proper led grow lights next winter. Works great so far, my basil plants are doing fine and will move to the balcony when the temperatures rise a bit. There's enough room to have two or three small plants below the lights. Two healthy basil plants translate into an enormous amount of pesto if you treat them well. I must have harvested several kilos last year by the end of the summer. That's starting with two anemic supermarket plants.

This improvised kratky system probably uses a bit more. I would say it's probably 10x or worse. I've seen some fluorescent systems similar to what the lady in the video uses starting at 140W. But you can get bigger lights. LEDs are probably more efficient for the same amount of lumen.
I tried a lot of things. Ultimately admitting it was an addiction and seeking professional treatment. This program was very powerful for me and is ultimately what got me clean.

We have seen demonstrable evidence for over twenty years now that if you build a way to more easily inform yourself on reality, facts, historical accuracy, etc that people would rather use that system to justify their own preconceptions and biases than seek out truth that might influence their beliefs.

Technology can only supplement a mindset where people are agreeable to solving problems in the first place. Most social and political woes are intentional, someone is "winning" for someone else's "losing", and often neither party wants the arrangement to change even if from the outsider perspective it would be "so easy" to fix, especially technically.
These kind of problems solve themselves depending on the people around you. If they are a bunch of slackers or don't care about you enough, yes this is the kind of life outcome you can expect kiddos. So make the right friends.
> "fax is insecure"

Fax is not secure.

Something like "Sender goes to the machine, and he punches my number or identification and it prints the document at my hotel"
I wish they had gone with a single kill switch. The most common use case is probably "Nothing gets in or out right now." But instead of flipping one switch one direction, the user must now flip three switches the same direction to get that common behavior.

Also, what's the use case for switches flipped in different directions that wouldn't be covered by software buttons? We can't possibly be talking about targeted attacks-- in those cases you're screwed no matter what.

That only leaves indiscriminate software attacks. Now take the hardware switch setting where baseband=off and wifi=on. I guess it's nice that evil software cannot pretend that baseband is off when it's actually on. But evil software attempting to "get out" is probably going to use a high level call out to the net. So who cares that it must now leave through the wifi radio instead of the baseband radio?
> Many 2005-era enterprise coding practices are still in very wide use for new projects

Just because something is older doesn't mean it's not still useful. Many developers these days hold an odd kind of logical fallacy that if something hasn't been done in the last few years, it's outmoded completely. Many concepts still hold high value dating back 40 or 50 years.
Deepr – An Alternative to GraphQL?
I think it makes sense to just stick with what you know, unless you have good reasons not to. But since you asked (and mentioned Elixir), Phoenix live view or https://github.com/grych/drab.
It's not just about AWS, other people need to use this as well. Why are security features a paid for addition? Why not make core features a paid for addition instead? I've always hated Elastic (the company) for this decision, please stop trying to give away free things that are not secure, and then charge for security.
I wouldn't recommend one either, to be clear. ;) My recommendation for a podcaster is either the AT2005USB or ATR2100USB, which are both decent-quality cheap dynamic microphones that have a USB sound card inside of them for easier real-time monitoring (but can both be used as XLR mics later if you expand). What I meant was that Blue is positioning it as that entry level podcast microphone. Which is, in its way, weird; it's a really strange microphone to try to work with and it just looks silly.

I alternate between an sE V7 dynamic, a Blue Encore 200 "active dynamic", and an AT2035 at my desk for recordings. The Blue is something I'm just testing but the other two microphones are great for different things. (Anyone who hasn't checked out a sE V7 should; for my money it's the best thing in the "SM58 range" of dynamics, with a really clear sound for a dynamic. And the damned thing won't roll off your desk if you have it handheld...)
The man who invented the Walkman is not Japanese (2005)
You need to look at countries like Estonia with strong cryptographic signatures for how to effectively move away from faxes (I believe crpytographic signatures are far better than "digital signatures", i.e. a jpg of your handwriting)
Interesting, and thanks for taking the time to detail all that; I agree now that it is not exactly straight-forward.

Regarding 1: that's interesting. I guess I figure that part of validation should be to check that the expiry of a cert is within the expiry of the issuing CA certificate. But if this is an issue… what prevents CAs from doing this today, and if it's just "good behavior", why not codify this in the validation rules? (That is, any certificate can't expiry after the expiry of the certificate above it in the chain?)

Regarding 2 & 3… is not saying "it's the responsibility of the domain owner" not sufficient? Issuing poor keys only hurts them (and perhaps those who want to communicate with them, which that might be an issue). (I agree that this isn't a great response, and it would be better for the world as a whole if we got these checked, but is it really our job to force domain owners to do this? Also, IDK if I really trust that major CAs are doing a good job of checking these sorts of things given all the other issues we see with them.)

SHA1 is going to be ignored by user agents soon (already?), so a subCA won't issue those solely b/c they won't work. What's wrong with a subCA adopting SHA3 sooner than major CAs? (Given how long the switch off of SHA1 took … that seems like a plus?)
Ok, so when OpenAI was still a straight non-profit the Charter made sense in the context and there wasn't much need to specify it any further.

Now with OpenAI leaving the non-profit path the Charter content, fuzzy as it is, is 100% up for interpretation. It does not specify what "benefit of all" or "undue concentration of power" means concretely. It's all up for interpretation.

So at this point the trust that I can put into this Charter is about the same that I can put into Google's "Don't be evil"...

Did you call for Jeff Bezos to be fired when Amazon did an about-face on HQ2?

This is a company which has outperformed every possible expectation since the day Elon showed up, and part of that formula from the beginning has been the agility to about-face and react quickly to new data.

Some people say we need Elon out and “adult supervision” is required. Or maybe, “adult supervision” is where a company dead set on making the impossible a reality goes to die.

We don’t know what new data has come to light since their public announcement. The landlords threatened to sue to prevent Tesla from breaking their leases. Maybe the employees were planning some action? Maybe there was some groundswell of customer feedback on the new test drive model.

Maybe the announcement is the best way to truly gauge public feedback on a course of action, and a company that can quickly gauge that reaction and alter course instead of plowing ahead against the data just because they already publically committed has a huge competitive advantage.

Tesla is attempted to do something entirely novel and would be the first ever to succeed at it if they pull off this sales model. Fits and starts are to be expected and calling for heads to roll because of quick adjustments in strategy I think is exactly opposite from of reaction.
Ah, good old exceptionalism. Getting people killed since the beginning of time.
> you can try things out at a leisurely pace

Yeah, but that's the only 'pace' available. Last time I leased a car, it took an entire afternoon.
There is nothing wrong with rejecting software because of the technology it uses.

Think about how important maintenance is. If an organization doesn't have in-house skillset to maintain and enhance software solutions they buy outright, why would they want it?
Never thought of it as OCD. Just the right way to do it is all. Thanks for the link.
Good for Aurthur, but that's not how the world views success, and rightfully so.
>web applications are not slow because of inherent performance disadvantage to that model, they're slow because they're poorly written.

Do you think code quality is affected at all by framework choices?

Remember, we're not talking here about absolutes in terms of possible performance, it's about performance per dollar for the business. If it is substantially harder to learn and/or write "good" code using one framework over another, I'm not sure it matters how much you "prioritize performance."
Prior to this move, the default install of the Elastic Stack was 100% open source. X-Pack had to be intentionally installed as a plugin.

Now the default install includes X-Pack, and you have to go out of your way (assuming you even realize that there is difference) to install the 100% Apache 2.0 licensed version.

I mean that they do not properly validate / IIRC, they raise validation errors when they should successfully validate.

> nameConstraints in a root cert

I'm talking about nameConstraints in a non-root certificate; IDK if this has an effect on how browsers would or would not validate it. My comment is simply "last time I tried it, it didn't work." It was a few years back, so perhaps I should try it again.
The licensing issue for Windows is different to Linux. ZFS as released by Sun was under the CDDL.

The source of incompatibility with ZFS and DTrace on Linux (until recently) was from the GPL, not from the CDDL. Windows (and, indeed MacOS - which has shipped DTrace for years), have no such restriction - the CDDL allows inclusion in larger proprietary works.
You have some examples of bug-free software that does useful work?
Every app still needs to support X, because Wayland doesn't have remoting. I'd love to be wrong about this.

From the related AWS blog (so at least a few grains of salt):

>>This means that the majority of new Elasticsearch users are now, in fact, running proprietary software. We have discussed our concerns with Elastic, the maintainers of Elasticsearch, including offering to dedicate significant resources to help support a community-driven, non-intermingled version of Elasticsearch. They have made it clear that they intend to continue on their current path.

... maybe I'm misreading your comment, but it sounds like AWS tried to find a compromise, including contributing to upstream, and were shut down (and all their content about future contributing seems to say "we'll send it upstream, but it depends on whether Elastic accepts it," so seems to corroborate). It honestly seems like you get more certainty that everything you're using from AWS is open and will remain open, and Elastic is going to keep creating uncertainty / drive to proprietary source-available.
Absolutely.

I've driven my Tesla Model S 28,000mi in 14 countries and I'd never go back to a petrol car. 250-350mi range. 'Tank' full every morning. Supercharger, destination chargers and plugs in garages everywhere. Free parking in my London borough, no road tax, no congestion charge.

Does 60mph in 2.8sec, absolutely toasting everything at the lights with no nonsense noise byproduct or fuss.
Cool project! How easy was it to use servo as a library?
I spent most of my adult life just parking arbitrarily in large lots. Didn't even realize this until a girlfriend pointed it out to me. In retrospect, I suppose I was optimizing for spending as little time in my car as possible. It never even occurred to me that my goal should be "park as close to the building as possible".
