I wasn't pretending to explain it all. I was merely saying that it isn't as simple as "It's all good news -- it's a leading cause of death because it's a utopian ideal where everything else has been largely solved."

I know very little about it and I'm aware of this element of pressure contributing to the high suicide rate for teens. So it's no doubt more complicated.
Getting a 404. Did they take it down or is this one of the new EU block things?
Actually, GitLab started as an open source feature-by-feature copy of GitHub. Since incorporating they have actually introduced many original functionalities, including their own CI pipeline.

Additionally, there is nothing wrong with implementing a better version of what the competition offers.
How does Google Drive support tags? All I can find is adding files/folders to additional folders through the non-discoverable Ctrl-Z shortcut, which seems like a very roundabout way of implementing tags.

IMHO it really needs labels as first-class citizens, similar to GMail.
Jean Marie Dedecker, Belgian politician now, formerly Olympic judo coach, made his team combat internally.

How much professional experience do you have? If it’s more than 10 years, the degree probably won’t get you much at this point. If it’s less than 5 years, a degree could be a huge boost to your career.

> Any suggestions on how to tune TCP for this situation?

Roughly speaking, TCP throughput is window size / latency, and the default window size on Linux is usually pretty small, so for high latency connections (US to CN roundtrip is usually several hundred ms) the throughput would be bad. Increasing TCP buffer sizes goes a long way. In addition to buffer sizes, finer tuning is possible via other options/parameters; just find a guide online, there are plenty.

> Wouldn't the bandwidth cost of CDN be even higher than that of Alibaba Cloud?

Hmm, shouldn't CDNs for static assets be cheaper than bandwidth associated with compute instances in general? For instance, Alibaba Cloud's CDN offering starts at $0.04/GB (in Mainland China) for the first 50TB, and gradually decreases from there.[1]

Depends a lot on context.

A simple CRUD query with a filter or two and a couple joins, in a large project maintained by a large team, is going to be more maintainable in an ORM.

But many ORMs will be awkward for writing queries used for complex reporting - if they can be written using the ORM at all.

And if you’re working on a project that only you will touch, just use whatever you’re most comfortable with.
Drone CI – Automate Software Testing and Delivery
This is very cool. I am working on a similar project since past 2 weeks but also plan on providing the resources(at least those which I think worked very well for me) to readers. It is kind of a no-nonsense guide to learning anything. Very inspired by this. Thanks
There's a lot of debate out there on this. Reddit seems to strongly disagree with it.

Hopefully we'll come to a point soon where AI and deep learning can help out in this space. I remember models being trained that could predict the country based on a street view photo with a high degree of accuracy, which would be a good first step. The next one would be to either match a top-down satellite photo with a picture, or figure out a way to match street view photos based on similarity.

Given that Google actually has the data as well as the skills and computing power to help out Europol, I'd have hoped they'd be jumping at the opportunity to do so. At the least it would make for great PR, but perhaps they're afraid of the possible privacy issues and discussions as well (I can already see the headlines: "Google knows the location of any yard appearing in a photo!").

In any case, it's telling how humans are so good at this stuff and picking up on clues and patterns. It'll still take a while before machines are as good.
My apologies then, but it wasn't very clear from your comment.
TEGs are rarely over 15% efficient, and usually require 300+°C to operate. At 150C you're probably looking at traditional steam turbine for peak recovery, at this pressure you're looking at about 35% efficiency placing a potential absorber/generator combination a-la-stirling near 29% overall, which is great but for the price and complexity probably not ideal compared to solar at 20%.

Back when I was getting my degree and was reading & writing a lot I got really enamored with the idea having an extensive repository of everything I had read or learned or simply come across and found interesting.

There are all sorts of software packages designed to facilitate this, I used DevonThink for a fairly long time. However, it never turned out to be nearly as useful or fulfilling as I had imagined going in and truth be told I just couldn't maintain the self discipline that the curation requires.

So now I have this ginormous unused data store that I don't want to mess with but nevertheless still can't bring myself to delete.
Tell me about it. I use Google voice for everything and have for years. My bank won't do 2FA with anything but their own RSA dongle (no thanks) or a phone number, and won't accept the GV number. I don't want to give them the underlying phone number (t-mobile), since:

(a) t-mobile is famous for being socially engineered to give out sims on other people's accounts.

(b) I have no loyalty to this plan. I've had 5 or 6 underlying phone numbers since I started using grand central (now google voice) in the 2000s. I don't even know what my t-mobile number is (i have to look it up on my phone's settings).
Agreed - could have been more precise.

Daniel I understand you're tenacious, but the real thing to focus on is getting the product to the point where anyone can use it to solve any problem well. Almost always this is easiest if the person that you're solving the problem for is yourself.

Take the Overcast podcast app, for example. I was one of the first users of it. The way its evolved over the years is directly because the founder uses it routinely. He didn't start by including the less obvious features right off the bat, he started by building the obvious ones. Only after he was happy with it did he start to pull in other features from other apps.

Some products you just can't do this with. I get it. I truly do, but try your best to find some sub-problem and ship it. Even if it's only to yourself.

I happened to befriend a number of successful startup founders ten years ago, before they'd made it. All the people I've seen sell companies had grit, myself included, but only the ones that shipped fast sold them for more than $Xm, myself not included.

SHIP.

(If you need more advice, better tailored to your product feel free to email me, but the most important advice will always be to ship.)
If you're on iOS, I can't recommend working copy highly enough: https://workingcopyapp.com

It's an awesome git client (event git-lfs) with an editor + preview engine built in, it also provides everything iOS can offer regarding 3rd party app/scripting integrations.
I thought Apple and Gorilla were working on foldable glass screens (though what that means I have no idea).
The "job to be done" is essentially just another term for the customer's need, right? To me, the main utility of that phrase is that it emphasizes the mindset of the customer much more than looking for a need.
"One Dimensional Man" by Marcuse certainly, "Escape From Freedom" by Erich Fromm and for more contemporary review, Mark Fisher of course. You also can't miss Guy Debord (his Society of the Spectacle) and, although I haven't read him yet, Henri Lefebvre's "Critique of Everyday Life" is looking promising from what I've seen so far. I'd suggest browsing the Verso catalogue for old (republished) and new books, almost all of them center around cultural critique of capitalism[0].

People get stuck in expert beginner land in no small part due to how shitty the hiring/training process is in most places. Outside of big tech companies and SV, no one hires generalists (past entry-level dev) and your resume gets screened out if you don't tick all the right boxes for language/framework (right down to exact framework..) or have a BigCo brand.

No one is willing to take on people who might need the slightest bit of ramp up time on new tech. So if you don't get all the right chances early, the only jobs you can even get hired into are those doing almost the exact same shit you have always done. God forbid someone hires a Java developer without experience in Spring into a gasp role that requires Spring (I see this constantly)!

I suspect managers like the authors basically fulfill their own prophecy. They insist on putting people into boxes and pretending they cannot learn, provide little opportunity to do so, and then blame the devs when they do not grow.

I left Oracle 2 years ago when I decided to retire early. I was the developer contact for a set of internal APIs that are used by many Oracle products, so I worked with developers from all over the company in dozens of countries. The quality and culture of Oracle development organizations is all over the place. There are areas with great developers that are happy and (more) places with lousy developers and hellish cultures. And everything in between. I also know a few people from the Seattle OCI group. That might as well be a different company. They don't have to use any of the sh*tty internal tools and aren't subject to the really bad, political management that is taking over more and more. The question is whether that group will eventually be subject to the bad management that has made more and more of the development org a living hell.
Some more quotes taken from http://typicalprogrammer.com/what-does-code-readability-mean that you might find interesting.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. – Martin Fowler

Just because people tell you it can’t be done, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it can’t be done. It just means that they can’t do it. – Anders Hejlsberg

The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how to behave when we don’t know what to do. – John Holt

Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. – Brian W. Kernighan

The most important property of a program is whether it accomplishes the intention of its user. – C.A.R. Hoare

For me, if it’s a way to get back to phones that are small enough to use with one hand and fit into the stupidly tiny pockets of women’s jeans, they can’t come soon enough. But if they’re a way to open a phablet into a mid-size tablet they seem pretty pointless.

Larger foldable screens might be kind of neat, too. Imagine a 17” or even 19” laptop that folds into the footprint of a 10” tablet. Suddenly computers with tons of working screen space become far more portable.
I suspect since easy investment money with no questions asked is slowing down and there's increasing IPO activity, companies are starting to care about their bottom line more and along comes with it strategic fights with potential competitors over a share of a smaller pie.

I drove a VW passat (bio/ngt gas hybrid) for years.

This stuff pissed me of so much that together with the Exxon stuff I will never own a VW or a fossil ICE car ever again.

I went for the Leaf as I can fit a double buggy in the trunk and it has a good enough range. Not cheap but it’s what I can do as a consumer in this liberal market economy.

Charging in the garage over night, never visting a gas station other than for coffe on the road. It’s awesome!

What’s so incredibly convenient is that the grid is built out already, i.e the infrastructure is in place, and has been for decades.

Research Post: Cardinality Estimators Do Not Preserve Privacy
Yes, I think it is conceivable. But at the same time, I have a hard time explaining a 10%/90% distribution just with biological differences. It seems to me that the biological differences are too small to explain such a huge skew. In particular, because the gender distribution for programmers was very different in the 1940s/1950s. At the same time, the cultural biases seem so obvious to me, that I think acknowledging them too would be a better basis for further discussion.
Android requires significantly more memory because it’s a garbage collected environment (one of the reasons). Apple’s platforms by comparison have much more efficient memory models, though the developer overhead is arguably a big greater (which Swift has helped to address a bit). To get the same performance on an android device that you would get on an iOS device requires significantly more memory on the android device.
Tuning performance is harder than debugging bugs
Except GitHub has become freer since Microsoft bought it, you can now have unlimited private repos for no cost.
Does anyone know how they ensure read order? Since it's a fluid that's moving around I'm having a hard time to grasp how they make sure they read the DNA in the same order it was written in.
This is ideal.

Unfortunately the society has been pushed into “car as a requirement” territory for ages.

I commend the effort, and I’d like to not need a car... perhaps I don’t, but it will require a few major changes.

It’s crazy that car pools are not more common, btw.
Shopify does include Wishlist and Custom Field features. They're available as apps— not in the core.

The whole point of the app store is to avoid the mistakes of Magento: building a confusing, monolithic mess because they tried to shoehorn too many features into the core.
It's a negligible liability compared to the risk of the devops guy leaving the company within a year, without leaving any documentation or any clue how the app was deployed or run. The same thing will happen next year with the replacement guy, if there ever is a replacement.
Having to debug closed-source software is not fun either. Plus in many cases you're left with crappy documentation and no access to the source code.

I don't quite agree, but I see where you're coming from. Instead I tend to see them as being just different behaviors, with bystanders (clueless rubes and cynical manipulators alike) causing conflict in order to support their own inflated diversity bureaucracy.

The only thing that really has to be noticed in order to see the problem here is that almost all of the women writing blog posts about how women should go into STEM did not themselves go into STEM. Yesterday I saw a video about an organization trying to get women to go into STEM. All of the women involved in the program had degree in _____ studies, communications, etc.

It's OK to be extremely cynical about this.

That said, I don't have a problem with women working whatever job they want. Just don't expect me to play along with the self-esteem parade and grievance bureaucracy that tends to come along for the ride.

What part is least believable for you? Shipyard construction being cheap? Floating nukes being safe? Nukes being safe in the first place? Nukes being low-carbon? Many of these thing sound surprising because they go against pop culture but they're interesting in that the scientific consensus is fairly opposite of pop culture on this topic.
This is rubbish.

> GitHub is not FOSS. Gitlab is.

Firstly, I don't think it is hypocritical to run a service that isn't FOSS, but that also supports FOSS. Secondly, nobody is under the illusion that Github is open source. Thirdly, Gitlab is only partly open source. Many of its features aren't.

> Github pull requests suck, why not just use email?

Maybe because email doesn't: a) Give you a convenient list of open pull requests, b) Give you a list of pull requests that other people can see at all c) Let you do nice line-by-line code reviews, d) Let you integrate CI tools easily, etc. etc. etc.

Riiiight. I'm sure everyone will love going back to the good old days of Bugzilla.
I like this approach. He's essentially using selectors for most of the app logic, which are cached and are what the view components use to derive data. They're cool because they always give you a "fresh look" at what's in state. I find it interesting in his implementation that selectors can also dispatch other actions.

If the author is reading: have you ever read about Behavioral Programming (BP) principles?

I have written a bit about it here:

- https://lmatteis.github.io/react-behavioral/

- https://medium.freecodecamp.org/an-intro-to-behavioral-progr...

And also have given a talk about how UIs can better align with requirements: https://vimeo.com/298554103

BP is still driven by trying to make change easier to implement in a large codebase, so I think there are some high-level similarities with your approach.
""Under the right conditions, DNA can last much longer than current archival storage technologies that degrade in a matter of decades. Some DNA has managed to persist in less than ideal storage conditions for tens of thousands of years in mammoth tusks and bones of early humans, and it should have relevancy as long as people are alive.""

But that doesn't explain storage density. And biological DNA has mechanisms to survive in a cell but these synthetic DNA's might be standalone.
I don't think memory is the issue. Hash algorithms are just complicated math. This math is now targeting the CPU architectures themselves.

It's easier to make it faster to write it in assembly were you can hand tune all the instructions when you are already thinking that low level.

Perhaps not a concern for Blake, but timing attacks are real. It you need to make your function operate constant time then your compiler is likely working against you.
Honest question: what did you get out of the Blue Ocean Strategy book?

I tried to read a sample on the Kindle app, but the text was simply ... impenetrable. The main idea, whatever it was, was couched in layers and layers of jargon.

When I contrast their jargon-laced writing style (e.g value innovation) with the lucid writing style of Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell, I wonder how they managed to sell 4.5 million copies.
