It's pretty grim for Ff, but our real doom starts when they pull an Android and bundle lots of non-redistributable components to cut off their real competition, the Chromium clones.

Why was it so hard to take a picture of a black hole?
Well, I think you could live a whole life on this planet without seeing the same place twice. If you think you have seen it all, you probably didn't look close enough.

I mean, you can see every place on this planet within a few seconds if you are taking a look at some satellite photo and yet you would not have seen your house and the living beings around it. Similarly, there are many more details which we do not perceive in our everyday life and which you can explore without have to invent a couple of scientific miracles ;-)

It is not that I don't value the stars. It is just that I think we shouldn't dream of arriving at some wonderful planet one day when we already are on a wonderful planet. We just don't appreciate it like that.
We went down the Lambda route at work, and I think ultimately it's a poor fit for the type of service that is being described here.

Do your persistence elsewhere, probably in an API wrapped around RDS.

SSM or other secrets needing decryption and fetching at runtime should use the AWS recommended method of storing this data in the global scope (at least that's how it works in Node), but this should feel icky because it is icky.

Mixing statefulness into things that are inherently intended to be stateless probably indicates you've chosen the wrong tool for the job.
"My current impression is that he disagrees with forced overtime but wants his employees to work similar hours voluntarily"

If your boss says they want you to work overtime 'voluntarily', what do you do? Doesn't sound very voluntary, and middle managers actually doing the enforcement aren't going to treat it like that, especially when they get targets.

The workaround would be pretty simple to implement. Cookies are only needed when you need 'state' between the client and server, so only serve cookies when you need state. The very first instance of state should be the very first instance of a cookie warning. Of course, once you have implemented cookie based tracking, this doesn't work anymore.
They could have avoided that easily by not including Social Media and Third Party cookies.
>> Did you forget a /s there? For me the marketing around Watson, with the unrealistic and not scientifically backed assumptions about the state of AI they put out to the general public, epitomize what's wrong with how the world sees our field.

IBM's marketing Watson as a medical application is one thing. The system itself is quite another. And the system itself remains the most advanced NLP system created so far.

Note that I say "system". Most NLP research consists of testing the performance of various algorithms against very specific benchmarks, but very little work goes towards creating a unified system that can integrate multiple NLP abilities. Watson on the other hand is exactly such a unified system. It integrates statistical machine learning, symbolic reasoning (frames, fer chrissake, frames! In this day and age!), pattern-matching (with Prolog) and so on and so forth. Far as I can tell there isn't anything like it anywhere - but of course, I don't know much about what Google, Facebook et al are doing internally.
That link redirects to a spam site for me. Anyone else?
Keyword search, if it goes poorly, just feels like I need to work harder to find the right keyword, not an actual failure of the system. Whereas when semantic search goes bad, it is infuriating and entirely the fault of the computer (especially when I've given it the precise word I need it to look for and the computer "thinks" it "knows better")

...or at least that's how the medium-to-savvy users will tend to feel about it. In making your decisions you need to think not just about what users think/say they want, but also how they'll react to the system's failure modes.
India officially has four seasons, but they are winter, summer, monsoon and post-monsoon (autumn). Depending on the place, the year may also have six seasons of two months each. [1] In general conversations, you may find people talking about summer and winter, with a sprinkling of rainy season, and not much about others.

So any definition that goes by some restricted American version (as pointed out by people living in the U.S. here) of seasons is not really applicable to 90% of the world's population. As you dig deeper into the climate of different countries, states/provinces, regions, etc., you may probably find your 90% figure drop to 10% or less.

Chroot shenanigans 2: Running a full desktop environment on an Amazon Kindle
This article is gross. Very one-sided, no attempt to paint an objective picture. If someone did this about a person, it’d be scummy, but about a company it’s okay?

I am sure the company is messed up, but come on.
In my opinion, that is not really separate.

Pretty much all companies constantly whip their employees to get things done as fast as possible. And if that definition of "done" does not explicitly contain interoperability, then even the most well-intending employees will drop that sooner rather than later.

Which is the case for any side-goal. Security, code quality, documentation, tooling, test coverage etc. If you only prioritize one thing, other things will be neglected, unless you put explicit checks in place.

Which is why we have people whose job it is to manage these things.
And if those managers failed to put checks in place, then we are back at either incompetence or malice of those managers.

It is a lot more simpler then that actually. The law does not say that you need consent for all cookies, you just need consent for some types of cookies. If it is just between the user and your own server for some necessary state information you dont need this dialog.

If they removed the Social Media and Third Party tracking cookies they could remove the dialog completely.

I've not noticed before that special relativity implies a 'wall of death' as you put it but I see now you can get that from the Lorentz transform t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) combined with v=at.

Does the z=-c^2/a relation still hold in general relativity or is it modified by other terms?

> we can't see beneath our feet

I presume you mean that we can, but for the values of A and z we experience here on earth, the radius of the Earth is much smaller than z so a point at a distance z "beneath our feet" doesn't exist as it's up and out the other side of the gravitational well

> And now we have a photo of a black hole to prove it!

I'm guessing you mean the event horizon is exactly such a "wall of death"?

The thing that happens in practice is the site is expected to be rebuilt on short timelines and at the end you find that it isn't trivial to make it work on other browsers. And the engineers don't even have machines that can reach their development servers that can also run IE, and the version of Edge that can run automated tests is so old that it doesn't support flexbox.

So now some VP has to make a decision whether to launch the thing to 85% of the users that also are on the companies own browser and support other browsers in the future, or delay everything on that. It tends to go the way that locally makes sense.
Time is the most important thing that exists, it's sad to see people promoting this lifestyle. The most problematic it's that some Chinese millionaires are buying/investing in companies across Europe, and probably sooner than later they'll try to force that culture in European companies

I personally haven't seen anyone in past ten years or perhaps more using Windows, let alone for programming at any businesses I worked at. Whereever I went, everybody's using Macs with macOS to do development. Is Windows even still a thing, or are you looking to explore Windows programming as a curious hobby past-time?

I'm sorry, but this is the archetypal "living in a bubble" comment (that is becoming very common on HN lately).

First of all the OP didn't ask "which is the best OS for development", there's probably a good reason he/she needs to work on windows.

And second, wondering if windows is still a thing for development and assuming macs are the standard, is absurd and detached from reality. I'll refrain from guessing your line of work (although I have my suspicion) but I'm pretty sure you never worked e.g. in electronics, sensing, finance, etc.

There is a difference between regularly working 50-hour weeks and setting those up well, and always working 72-hour weeks, which doesn’t leave you time to do the life-admin, exercise, cooking, and sleep you need to keep a clear head.
I absolutely prefer keyword search. Semantic results are nothing but infuriating, particularly when I'm searching for something specific and the engine substitutes my query for something interpreted.
Isn't there already something of this sort happening with DRM components? There was a story on here recently about someone whose Chromium-based browser was locked out of the video streaming addons. To be fair, that was more by the video streaming plugin developer than by Google, but it was still an example of undermining the open source portion of the product.
OpenAI's GPT-2 language model (build using a deep neural network) recently achieved 70.7% accuracy on the Winograd Schema Challenge, which is 8% better than the previous record[1].

Definitely not wading into specific methodological arguments. All studies require interpretation is context of their methodological strengths and weaknesses in terms of what was actually measured, and how much weight to give the study's results in context of other studies of related topics.

I feel the same way about the the studies that form the basis of the article you linked. You don't seem sceptical about those results.

I'm not going hunting for a meta-analysis that addresses this, which is really what would be ideal.

I think you are off by orders of magnitude in terms of how much influence a person's physical body has over their interests, choices, and likelihood of success. I can't relate to that, I can't argue with it, you might as well be telling me that that the sky is made of cheese.

This is why I don't see the point continuing the conversation. We'd first have to agree on what the sky is made of.

But likely few people, if anyone, in the organization have any serious incentives (i.e. bonus/promotion) to proactively prioritize that. On the other hand, they almost certainly have at least bonuses on the line to add X users to service/product Y or roll out feature Z (server or client side.) So people work toward what the company rewards[1] and everything else becomes a break/fix situation as it occurs and time permits.

[1] There are also almost certainly individuals/teams in the company who also try to take the path of least resistance and attempt to hobble the competition to help get there. These types exist in every company to varying degrees.

Metrics are only worthwhile if they're accurate and measure what needs to be measured!

The last place I worked went as far as putting badge entry/exit readers on the toilets -- the stats were aggregated by person and anyone significantly above the mean would get a demand to explain.

Their other crowning glory was putting a graph of "list of reasons for sick-days". With the exact reasons reported on the return-to-work form. They updated it weekly, so you could pretty much figure out which long-term health issues related to whom. Employee reps raised it as a serious issue, HR defended it as "a very useful tool", and the entire group of employee reps resigned on the spot.

This kind of micromanagement only leads to two things: useless KPIs and resignations.
I really like Visual Studio Code for Powershell and Python.
My benchmark was SuSE, which was 1 DVD's worth. However your post now has me wondering if that didn't contain the complete sources either - just sources for server components. That said, those 12 DVDs likely cover way more than the Windows sources would. eg multiple different image editors, LibreOffice (would Windows sources include the sources for MS Office as well?) several different databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, etc). So even that might not be a fair comparison either?

Unfortunately without access to that source directory all of this is all just going to be speculation anyway.

I did also make the point about compression too by the way :)

From the point of view of everyone else, "Don't trust anyone on the Internet" applies to you.

If you doubt that Windows has serious users, it means that you live in a very low diversity bubble of non-Windows users, presumably a bubble of Mackintosh-only workplaces and generic Linux cloud servers.

Then, why should anyone give any weight to your objectively uninformed opinions about Windows? You must admit that, compared to you, the crowd of Stack Overflow users is an "authority" because it includes actual Windows users.
They still have to apply a random sampling or you risk the same correlations in the new data.

What does that have to do with anything? 60 hours is 50% more than 40 hours, it's regulation and not science and it's a totally different job with different risks.

If they are working 40 hours or less, the answer is "no" with 100% certainty. Above that, it depends.

I did a similar thing in order to implement network segregation via VLANs and VPN routing.

Personally I think Alpine Linux is one of the better distributions to use for routers because it uses musl which is ultra small. https://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html

I have separate VLANs:

• VLAN 1: Management (no tag, null route)

• VLAN 2: Untrusted (routes direct to ISP via ppp0)

• VLAN 3: Trusted (routes direct to ISP via ppp0)

• VLAN 4: Trusted (routes via tun0 - VPN connection for private browsing etc)

• VLAN 5: Null route for devices that do not require internet access of any kind, desk phones printers etc.

(Doesn't have to be a Raspberry Pi, you can use anything that Alpine Linux runs on which is x86_64, x86, ppc64le, s390x, armhf, aarch64 (ARM8 like Raspberry Pi 3), armv7 (Raspberry Pi 2, and friends).[1]

[0] https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Linux_Router_with_VPN_on_a...

The idea is that anything on VLAN2 is completely segregated at the switch and router level from the rest of my network.
