Whoa, I've never seen the `types` module before! This will actually be very handy for me for what I've been working on lately. Thanks for pointing it out!
Yeah all that is completely obvious. So why not just communicate honestly: This is a massive breaking change. It is going to be painful, but is necessary to moving forward. But don't deny the reality of it.

Saying .net 5 is unifying .net is like saying Python 3 unified Python or that Angular 2 unified Angular.

> If you haven't been keeping the app up to date, say you're on 4.6.1,

Again, why the dishonest arguing? 4.6.1 is years old, but you will have exactly the same problem if you are on 4.8 which was just released. It has nothing to do with code not being updated.

> where you have an old neglected project that you want to bring up to date

Again, this has nothing to do with projects being old and neglected. It is a breaking change, it will affect all projects on .net framework if they want to upgrade. And you know that.
And then there are those whose ex-girlfriends list might require an additional hard drive.
Agreed. It also sounds like a great way to (ab)use a dumb commodity via ephemeral Google accounts to distribute data.
It blends well with rice protein though. 50/50 isn't bad. You might try out something like True Nutrition, where you can make your own custom blends. It's also not bad either when it's an ingredient in things. (Beyond products, etc.)

Hemp protein is pretty disgusting, I agree. It's gritty and slimy, and the texture by itself is horrible.
And what do you think this was? Virtually all router/networking devices have some kind of "hardcoded account" (read:backdoor) and this is only slowly changing. I believe the EU is going to ban the practice soon.
Programming tests are what generally have me shying away from finding another job. It really makes me feel like I'm back at school trying to prove myself for a test, when in fact my portfolio on github or whatever I've included with my resume to the hiring/hr/interviewer should suffice.

But a whiteboard test? It's almost insulting.
Back in the day of email gateways between different networks, there used to be a terrible problems with all the tin-pot dictator IBM SYSADMINs at BITNET sites who maintained their own personal styles of ASCII<=>EBCDIC translation tables, so all the email that passed through their servers got corrupted.

EBCDIC based IBM mainframe SYSADMINs on BITNET were particularly notorious for being pig-headed and inconsiderate about communicating with the rest of the world, and thought they knew better about the characters their users wanted to use, and that the rest of the world should go fuck themselves, and scoffed at all the unruly kids using ASCII and lower case and new fangled punctuation, who were always trying to share line printer pornography and source code listings through their mainframes.

"HARRUMPH!!! IF I AND O ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR DIGITS ON MY ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER, THEN THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR EMAIL! NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!" (shaking fist in air while yelling at cloud)

It was especially a problems for source code. That was one of the reasons for "trigraphs".

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1234582/purpose-of-trigr...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digraphs_and_trigraphs

>Trigraphs were proposed for deprecation in C++0x, which was released as C++11. This was opposed by IBM, speaking on behalf of itself and other users of C++, and as a result trigraphs were retained in C++0x. Trigraphs were then proposed again for removal (not only deprecation) in C++17. This passed a committee vote, and trigraphs (but not the additional tokens) are removed from C++17 despite the opposition from IBM. Existing code that uses trigraphs can be supported by translating from the source files (parsing trigraphs) to the basic source character set that does not include trigraphs.
People can definitely be allergic to meat (animal protein):

He started out strong with that witty application to the ex-boyfriend list. However, once the Lady said she was with a surgeon, that was probably the clue that it was time to bow out. Really enjoyed this, but felt a bit of sympathy for Richard.
Yup, I worked for a bit at Intel, but I don't speak for them, I wasn't involved in any of the designs under discussion, and everything I'm saying here is public knowledge in the computer architecture community. I figured that the perspective from the academic comparch world might be interesting.
> If distributed works I am all for distributed. But distributed does not always work nor is it always a superior option. Imagine we figure out cold fusion. That will probably always be "centralized", but it could be vastly superior to any other power source we can fathom to imagine.

Okay, imagined it. If we need that much power in one place then great. We'll work on it then. But for the majority of individuals, they'll never need close to that level of electricity.

> I think nuclear is the safest viable option we have at this moment.

Based off nothing other than handwavey arguments about how, "Look how this system which has been deployed at a tiny fraction of the scale of the other systems has fewer deaths when we specifically cut out fuel procurement but count atmospheric pollution even if that's difficult to avoid confounding?"

This is not a compelling line of argument. No more so than the "what if we suddenly have a fusion breakthrough won't you want thousands of lines of cabling then?"

> It also doesn't mean we should stop funding the research of renewable energy and of energy storage. Quite contrary. But let us not fall for wishful thinking --- look at Germany.

I don't recall us saying science was bad. Rather, it was, "Concentrating capital on ever larger energy ziggurats is not something that makes sense in 2019."

Sure. Let's look at Germany, where they literally have such an abundance of power they can't migrate their grids to use it fast enough so they pay people to use it? Or how they're now investing in inexpensive and locally sourced storage options because they can power over 90% of their peak demand on a good day?

These are "good problems to have." Certainly better than "How do we shield this drone enough that we can make contact with the melted fuel rods at Fukushima."

The issue is the conflation of the form and functional aspects of design.

The 'Stripe gradient' on their home page, and a few other things are purely aesthetic, and frankly extraneous to the more functional aspects.

Most of the 'guidelines' from Material were reasonably pragmatic, although very picky, beyond what is necessary in all but the most comprehensive apps with big budgets.

There's nothing wrong with some aesthetic on a home page, and such things will always be trendy and evolving.
I would make sure to not do this in an important Google account.
Once I found a really bright employee and I asked him, why don't you talk more and socialize more? He said well once I did exactly that and someone with large follower count on twitter made mockery of my views since then I keep my personal opinion to myself.

Another one told me, that he doesn't really have a lot in common with people around him and that he considers online community where people are exactly interested in what he likes requires lot less mental overhead.

Due to social media follower count, some people love to pick out others and insult them on social media only because they happen to have a different opinion, here you don't even need to hold on wrong opinion - holding a different opinion does the job.

Before internet/social media, there were very few and expensive ways to get together with people across the geographic boundaries so you always had to please people around you and sometimes get them interested in the things you like, to have fun with them.

But this changed with internet, now you can choose some very obscure topic and you'll find other people who are interested in the same thing several clicks away.

And your mom is sick at home and can't go to supermarket for shopping? No problem, Amazon home delivery is one click away.

Before that, you had to keep a friend who lived close to you and also help him and keep him happy so that he helped you when you need him, like buying some stuff for your mom while she's sick and you are away.

Due to technology, there is simply less need of friends etc... And many don't consider it a good ROI over their time to keep friends. I heard it several times in valley, if you want a friend, get a dog.
It is certainly possible to be allergic to animals and rating meat. Fish and seafood is common. Some people are allergic to pork, mainly people with cat allergies for some reason. Specific tick bites can cause allergy to beef and pork. One can be allergic to chicken as well.
Yeah, I keep seeing these articles get posted and it makes no sense. Most drivers seem to want to have the freedom and flexibility to choose when they work. That absolutely makes them contractors.

The only argument to be made here potentially is that some of the gamified rewards incentives to keep driving might be questionable and make the relationship more employer/employee-like.

That sounds like they just erroneously left AllowRootLogins yes in the ssd_config, which would not be a critical vulnerability.
What’s the result of the non pea-industry sponsored studies on fart production for peas vs other protein sources ?
> Health insurance is worse, because it's an extremely complicated product.

Get sick, go to hospital, insurer covers. There is a shortlist of things the insurer won't cover. You pay the insurer each month.

Insurance isn't complicated. It is a complicated by bad regulation that mean insurers aren't trying to sell to individuals.

> A company, on the other hand, gets to amortize the cost of figuring out the right options...

That sounds like a pretty decent argument until the implications are examined. An identical argument could be made for:

* Food

* Housing

* Schooling

* Entertainment

The truth is that the amortization of figuring out what people want is best done by the insurer, and then people just buy whatever their friends have. Like everything else.

> You might think it's fun/funny.

I think it is funny that I'm commenting on a system more than an ocean away, I'm not laughing at sick people. That would be a bit weird.

> No. The American system grew up as it did for particular local reasons...

The reasons are, in hindsight, stupid. They should switch to using a system that makes sense. Either the capitalist way or the socialist way. The crazy hybrid that is used in practice is crazy.

Just because there is a stupid system in place today is not a reason to stick to it, and everyone agrees with that idea.
It's definitely worthwhile going over the standard library[0] every now and then. I always find something interesting to read up on. I recently learned about cmd[1] (which has been around for a long time) and have been using it to write a text adventure game.

Thank you for the the details. Its pretty clear at this point that its not a fair comparison. The TPC-C driver we used (Percona's MySQL TPC-C driver) is pushing MemSQL as hard as it can and isn't following the "think time" part of the spec that artificially slows the driver down. So, this understandably gives us higher throughput numbers. We'll remove the comparison and make it clear the driver we are using isn't obeying the "think time" part of the spec.

Again, our goal here is not to have some showdown with cockroach. We don't really compete with each other. Our goal is to show the breadth of workloads MemSQL can run (fast in-memory point queries as well complex OLAP queries over large tables). None the less, we should have caught this before we published the article. I appreciate the correction.
Google's products don't seem to have any kind of consistency whatsoever, it seems it's rather a function of their culture. The designers I guess have more influence in some areas than others.

I ate a lot of pure, unflavored isolate and it seemed very mild to me. Slight bean-like flavor, sort of creamy. Pea protein and hot water with salt seemed fine.
I think an awful lot of Japanese people have something to say about your definition of harm.
> Are all the message boards and forums where this type of material was likely posted really defunct or unusable now?

The original source of this material (and the other articles) was John Carmack's .plan file. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_protocol

The .plan file is by its nature ephemeral, as the user can change it whenever. But the content was archived.

The GitHub is just the latest mirror.

Maybe!
Crippling student debt, lack of parental leave (and on top of it - lack of healthcare for the unemployed), inaffordable childcare, it being increasingly hard to rent (not even own) enough space to comfortably support a family, double-income being practically a necessity to support a family of two for the vast majority of people, and that's just to start --

-- but surprisingly, the US birth rate is falling to new lows! Who would've thunk? Inexplicable!

The article is behind the paywall, but I wonder what surprising reason they find for the decline.
It’s not supposed to taste delicious on its own. Few eat pure soy or any other protein. I have and personally I feel rice is chalky. Pea seems smooth and creamy to me. It’s best mixed in with other food.

That's surprising! I know the Scottish dialects has a lot of Scandinavian influences, (ex they say "barn" to mean children)

Lax is Swedish for salmon, so I would've expected a similar root for that word! Some quick googling suggests the Swedish variant has roots in the Germanic and Baltic languages, which are not directly related to Yiddish afaik. Funny how languages are so similar sometimes, seemingly by chance!
That's an incredibly ironic complaint coming from a Google employee.

As someone with celiac, wheat protein is absolutely demonic. With 1% of the population suffering from celiac and up to 5 times as many from gluten intolerance, which can be very serious, the less wheat and barley, the better. Other proteins don’t have their very own autoimmune disease.
Also you should have ACLs in place and VLAN segmentation (assuming their use as pure layer 2 devices) so that only certain authorized sections of the network are even able to reach things like the management ssh and SNMP daemons.
Hm, I think the engineering story is the interesting aspect:

What an elegant client-as-terminal I have for this incredibly popular physics simulation! Oh no! it takes up too much bandwidth. Welp - time to throw out the old lock-step game-loop architecture, and allow each client to stream incremental updates

I'm sure many contemporary engineers had similar problems, and considered the same approach, but either shrank-from or gave-up on rustling together an elegant solution. Like many problems in the early days of 3d/internet gaming, Carmack seems to have rapidly and nicely solved it with imagination & experimentation, all informed by a broad and deep understanding of data structures, & algorithms, and presumably an industry-leading amount of experience.
Yes, but software needs to be rewritten.
Isn't there a world of difference between UX designers going out to talk to the users themselves as opposed to waiting for the users to come to talk to them? It implies that there's a pretty strong self-selection bias.
I understand that very well. But non of the standard tools that manage CPU understand that, and most people don't either.

If I had a nickel for every time I had to explain why "You are at 50% CPU now, but you can't actually run twice as many processes on this machine and get the same runtime", I'd be able to buy a large frapuccino or two at starbucks.

Perhaps I'm uninformed though - is there a tool like htop, which would give me an idea of how close am I to maxing out a CPU?
Let's hear it for "market forces" and unfettered capitalism, youd think we would've learned in 2008.

It makes sense not to mention Vista in a headline consider the very low usage rates.

The author suggests using dark gray instead of black, but then also says that when pixels are completely deactivated on OLED, it saves energy. These seem to be contradictory pieces of advice. What am I missing?
Sounds pretty evil to me. This is where you get the idea of 'corporations are people' to give more rights and them some to businesses to defend against your average person.

I was a vegetarian for a long time and then was forced to start eating primarily meat by food allergies, intolerance and celiac disease. I know what you mean - lack of availability of fresh chickens to cook would render life very difficult for me. Surviving on vegetable sources is difficult because almost everything gets contaminated with wheat/barley/rye and if not that, tree nuts.

I had to cut out almost all grains and the foods that make me feel best overlap with the paleo and AIP diets.
Even leaky abstractions can be useful, if they are taken in context. If you choose not to understand the spirit of my comment, and take its meaning literally to the point of it having no utility for you, then so be it. A significant number of upvotes suggest GP's point may be moot, and, dare I say, pedantic.

Also, the GPs suggestion of building an accelerator is as silly as someone writing an assembly compiler via a mush of SQL. It probably can be done, but it's not in the spirit of the topic!

Sure, but that’s true of all companies. Imagine a drug company put a drug on the market that might kill your or leave you crippled if you don’t match the results they had on their 3 test patients, and them telling you “That’s on you, the drug is a beta”.

On a related note, every couple of years I make an effort to man page every cli tool I use, and re-read the man page, just in case. Most times I discover there is some argument that I've missed before in a tool (or has been added in the intervening time)
> I mean, it's not that expensive to just take some hi-res X-ray photos of old and new boards of the same make, and compare the trace paths near each component. Maybe you can even take a visual diff of the X-ray negatives, if you can get everything lined up tightly enough.

There are examples of attacks which cannot be detected by staring at X-rays of components[1]. Now, to be fair they are very advanced attacks but we know they exist.

> Dataclasses greatly simplify generation of simple classes which are unnecessarily filled with boilerplate

I would love to solve these boilerplate kinds of problems using plugging like emmets. Magic like this feels good when writing but troubles during debugging and customizing.

Additionally naive programmers always use such features in wrong situation if they don't get use-case. I really feel sad after seeing so much bad-django-code in production.
That reminds me of the first time I accessed World Wide Web. Back in '96 I was browsing a computer magazine and happened upon a listing of useful mailing lists, one of which returned the contents of web pages for a requested HTTP address. Same magazine had an install CD for the free Juno email service.

Being a teenager, the first web page I ever requested was www.doom.com, which returned a gibberish of text to Juno's email client. It was an HTML file full of IMG tags (one of those "Click here to enter" gateway pages), but I had no idea what I was looking at at the time. Somehow figured out to open the file in IE2 and saw... a bunch of broken images :)

I still vividly remember the sense of wonder that the early Internet evoked.

EDIT: Just checked the Wayback Machine. Looks like www.doom.com was not affiliated with the game at the time, so I must have browsed to www.idsoftware.com instead.

I'm purely guessing here, but I think loneliness could be a factor in increased fragility. When you're fragile it's easier for people to hurt you and when you're hurt you get attention and consolation from others. This can alleviate the loneliness.
IT managers really need to heed this advice. Not everyone is working for Tesla. There may be a few times a year one needs to sprint through. And that's even fun. But consistent 50+ hours workweeks are bad for company, bad for employee and bad for the economy.
Indeed. I love the "sorry @ the guys from google internal forums who are looking at this" line at the github. All tongue in cheek and aware of the situation.

TBH this is not unlike reporting a security bug to a company as a white hat, but more like a grey hat here.

Could be a weird variant of insider trading. Pay some "security consultants" to call up reporters and throw your own company under a fictitious bus. Then, when the stock dives, buy.

Problem with that idea is that it wouldn't just chase investors away temporarily, it would chase customers away who are a lot harder to get back.
You could do this easily in SVG, or canvas, or webgl if you're only drawing lines. The benefit of CSS is that you can use any HTML element, and it'll be interactive so hover states and event handlers will work (on the original at least, and I assume the reflection as well, but I'd need to test that). That's a big win.

(Technically you could do it using HTML in an SVG by leveraging the ForeignObject element as well, but that's still more complicated than CSS.)
