No not really, websites have been using more and more video, images, JavaScript.

I'm sure the average website of 10/20 years ago uses less resources, and by extension power than the current average website.

I suppose you could argue we do more with each unit of power, I would contend most of that has been wasted on non core frivolities that aren't worth the cost though.

> But he didnt want to at first because he was going to miss "the college experience".

This is a big part of the problem, in my opinion. It's marketing, pure and simple. Spend tens of thousands of dollars for the college experience you've been indoctrinated with by mass media when you're in high school. You know, everything but the actual learning part.
It's the employer's job to give specific training to college grads. Any specific training you receive in college is a risk, because you don't know if you will be hired for a specific job.
As long as they're compliant with the credit reporting laws in the USA I don't see a problem with this. Under such laws you may see whats in your file, make corrections to it, and there's a expiration policy for negative behavior.

You're comparing apples and oranges. US drones aren't doing fully autonomous killing, they're killing through policies of leaders you help elect. That's the apples. The oranges is tech we purchase (drones in particular) having backdoors. Why do you think these two are comparable?

I don't think it is difficult. Just require full public report on the expenses.
The words you put after "Yeah, you're right" don't actually square with the accusation being leveled at them. You're right, I think, that there's a small insular core team with full control and a clear vision. That doesn't make it "Google's project". Put differently: if Russ Cox resigned from Google, I imagine he'd probably remain involved with Go and have the same amount of influence.
I mean, biogeochemically, we know this to be the case. The earliest evidence of life are not fossils, but changes in atmospheric chemistry recorded in the geologic record.

There are some well reasoned arguments that life is utterly common and almost inevitable when conditions are even basically adequate.
Doesn’t that support only UWP store apps?
Small, internal business apps have been a good use case for me. I'm working with few dev resources (me, myself & I), so the "batteries included" approach of Angular is nice, and knowing it's always served over a fast corporate network alleviates the filesize concerns somewhat. Plus, we're in a situation right now where some of our clients are being sort of amorphous on what server platform they'd like to migrate to and when, so the browser is a more stable target (ironically).

It's an unusual situation perhaps, but having done similar apps with other frameworks and paradigms over the past ~10 years, Angular 2+ just feels like a good tool for the job.
Have you considered that people are making a rational choice to get something cheaper yet lower quality?
The housing market is not really what drives the economy. It is where a massive amount of credit has been funnelled in the last few decades, though. We do need to change how our macro-economy functions, but unfortunately politicians and most of the economists advising them are oblivious to the critical role that credit plays.
It think this is somewhat similar to: many chinese characters vs ASCII. Neither is the superior notation. I prefer to write words by concatenation of multiple ASCII letters instead of one letter symbols, but that's due to my cultural background.

Long ago I liked ActiveRecord(AR), then I worked at a company that did large aggregations in SQL and found it to be severely limited in working with complex queries which use many JOIN statement and sub-queries. During that time I came to enjoy working with the Sequel[0] gem, and its fantastic documentation. Now, after working with Ecto[1] in Elixir, I've found that the ROM[2] builder pattern is a better approach to abstracting SQL and mapping the results to Ruby objects. It's much cleaner and more maintainable than a long mess of AR queries.

Ryan Bigg wrote a great book about breaking away from AR in Rails called Exploding Rails[3]. It's a good read.

> Also interesting to see is the amount of times the pilots bring the nose up, only for MCAS to kick in and force the nose back down. 26 times.

That is awful. I heard that MCAS kicks in for ten seconds and then goes off for five seconds. So that must have been terrifying, for the pilot to think he has it under control for the death wish of MCAS to try again, and again and again until it gets its own way.

When you look at how much has been invested in Homeland Security over the last seventeen years it is doubly tragic. It wasn't terrorists that we needed to fear, it was hasty management decisions at the FAA.
Oh yeah that was just the highest result on Algolia's HN search. It's definitely one of the evergreen sites that gets posted pretty regularly.

Hyperbole can be used to good effect sometimes, but this isn't one of them.

This is a decently-designed blog which loads quickly but has text that's a little too large. It is not a dumpster fire, especially compared to the news sites the blog post was calling out.

In my experience working at Facebook, not a single thing you said was true.

People plan and think before they code.

People are rewarded for impact, not for landing useless code.

Code is carefully designed and tested, or it doesn't land.

That's Windows IoT Core. Windows IoT Enterprise supports regular apps as well.
It's actually really nice here in Indiana. Two major state schools partnered with the community college Ivy Tech. You can transfer your first 2 years worth of credits to the state college and get a degree from one of those 2 institutions. It works out well from what I've seen. That way too, if after 2 years you decide it's not for you, you're not in as much debt and still have an AS degree.

China is now the new enemy. And everybody must know apparently.

Private prisons are an awful situation, but last I’d seen they comprised a small percentage of incarcerations. While they’re part of the problem, I think they are more a symptom of the brokenness of the criminal justice system than the cause.
Sitting at a desk for 40 years is also “hard” in your body.

Also, a lot of people romanticize the value of “the college experience.” Is that experience worth $150k of debt? Is a degree in social work ever worth that much? Not at all; the data proves it.

> for the average Joe a solid education is a much better bet and you are doing a disservice by spreading these second hand anecdotes

Did you hear the one about the sociology graduate working at Starbucks with 100k in debt? How about the English graduate working at a call center with $80k in debt? How about the one about the one who worked her way through a marketing degree only to end up working as an assistant manager at a local Williams Sonoma making about $18 per hour.

Let’s not spread anecdotes about how college is a better bet because for many many people, it’s not. I got a completely wasted degree in journalism, but now I work for a FAANG as a software engineer. The degree wasn’t even a consideration. So I have student debt for no good reason.

And belittling the trades, claiming physical labor is hard: that’s just elitist. Most of the trades are more active than your office jobs, but that’s what “work” often is. People have gotten soft, lazy and fat. It isn’t like the trades require 12 hours a day at the bottom of a coal mine. A sedentary lifestyle is more of a risk than being a machinist.
I'm not suggesting all containers shouldn't be used for security. I'm just saying docker - specifically - isn't an isolation tool that's was designed primarily as a security tool. There are other solutions on Linux if you want security - such as LXC and OpenVZ - which I suspect is what those ISPs you're referring to use.

The problem with docker isn't at the kernel level, it's the userspace tooling. It's pretty insecure by default. For example it creates bridged networks as the default network interface and actively encourages (by design) developers to run code as root (since creating non-root users then becomes a manual RUN command). Then you have vulnerabilities in the user space tools to contend with in addition to the same concerns about sharing a kernel that crop up when discussing security and containerisation. That said, there are some stuff it does right from a security standpoint but generally speaking docker is a tool you need to harden rather than something that comes hardened.

I don't hate docker though. It's a great productivity tool and it can be run securely if you have proper defence of depth. But I would advise against running docker as your only sandboxing. To be honest, I'd advise security at all levels regardless of the docker discussion anyway.
I agree completely. I have no idea why companies don’t do that.
They were much brighter and closer together right after deployment than in operation. Already, they've spread out and are now aligned in operational configuration so they're far less noticeable than at first. On par with typical satellites.

ISS is also sometimes reported as a UFO. It's often brighter than Venus.

Yep. I know tons of people who got English, History, etc. degrees who are doing just fine with or without advanced (typically law) degrees after that. There's a certain bias here that if you don't get an engineering degree you might as well plan of digging ditches for the rest of your life.

But that isn't actually true. Lots of people (including many with engineering degrees) follow rather non-standard career paths that are still quite successful by any reasonable measure.
You should reread my post more carefully. That is my point exactly. Clearly, I'm aware of the history or I wouldn't have brought up telecos. My point is breaking up a monopoly is not a panacea as you can see.
The first link is the results of a survey.

The second and third links make the argument that churches increase the health of the people who participate in it.

Neither says that churches are 'net positives' for a community. A church can easily make it's members healthier, while also hurting the larger community as a whole by occupying very valuable real estate while contributing nothing back to it's non-members.
The display is the worst part of the phone, in terms of efficiency as a web server. There's no need at all for a display; visitors and developers alike connect to web servers from a remote machine. The display hardware and graphics processor on the SOC consume a significant amount of power.

Your address is not a secret. If you own a home, it is necessarily a matter of public record. If you ever want to have anything delivered to you, you necessarily have to share it. If having your address in a database is a problem for you, you're going to have to learn subsistence farming and move completely off the grid, because you're not really going to be able to function in modern society.
This reminds me of "believe us they have bio-weapons and need to attack Iraq" trope followed in the recent past. This is just building up media narrative and trying to brainwash people, similar to what happened in the past.
Huh? Most VPSes are virtual machines (likely KVM, possible Xen, based), and are not using Docker at all.

AdWords and other Google platforms have more reach than that, even Microsoft serves up Adsense ads on MSN. Analytics is so heavily tied to AdWords, it's practically impossible to run an effective campaign without it. I'm more concerned about the advertising market Google has a strangle on. Analytics is everywhere, they have so much behavioral data that everyone pales in comparison, and no one can give as much insight into the ad market.
How to Integrate Spring with Micronaut
The only reason the FAA delegates is because they could no longer pay a competitive salary to retain aeronautical engineering talent given the better pay in the private sector. So they delegated.

This completely missing the point of independent certification, validation, and acting as a proxy for the "customer of first resort" is the entire point of a regulator. If you can't sell an independently staffed regulator on your design, flying their own test regime, you shouldn't be making planes period. The new regime basically relegated the FAA to the role of paperwork auditor; a reactive instead of proactive regulatory process.

I don't understand the goal of this. Is it to replace React/Angular or are these components like tree controls, tab controls, etc?
Type errors aren't the problem, understanding what the code is doing is the problem. I like to know what I'm looking at -- is it a primitive? A simple array? A complex, stateful object? This helps establish clearer relationships between systems.

In my first job as a grad I had to work with this absolutely wonderful software called Siebel CRM.

The whole idea behind it was just like the article described; a WYSIWYG in which business people could draw boxes and lines and code would be generated for it.

However it was never that simple, plus Oracle eventually acquired it and added even more fluff onto it.

Thankfully I was developing around the CRM and just had to draw some lines to represent an API being consumed.

I later found out that what I just mentioned is a fourth generation language (4GL) and there are many of them out there.
