We all know how that works - unions increase wages and benefits, if the school has a hard cap on the dollars it has to engage fewer grads. In addition, we have all seen the aged grad student - 6 years on his PhD, with a union, he does not care - he has seniority.
I could go on. In essence a grad school is a golden opportunity to advance your self in leading institutions - why hurt it?
And it's a consumer cheap, not really from the same league. Can't wait to see what new Threadripper will offer.

A long time back , I had gone down a rabbit hole to get Kubernetes manage my Mongodb. Thankfully , I got bitch slapped into reality within a few days and gave up because that rabbit hole goes deep. Now my mongodb stands outside of the K8 and I have no issues with it that cant be solved with a rebuild of a replica node.
I wonder if now it is good time to start a service which helps you host all important stuff - mail, picture books, contacts - and so on with offline backups which are under your control. Essentially ship me a tape every 6 months or so which has all my content, encrypted at rest.

I remember the feeling I had when I first used Dropbox - I was excited. The app itself was so unobtrusive and managed to sync my files fast and reliably. It seemed crazy not to use it because there was so little compromise involved.

Fast forward to today, years later, where I don't have any syncing solution enabled on my computer. And not because I don't want or need syncing - but because all of the current offerings, including Dropbox, are either bloated or have performance issues or lack reliability.

Dropbox chose a path and it is what it is. Maybe this strategy is working for them in with respect to revenue growth, and that's great for them, but when I'm here without a syncing solution that I would gladly pay for, it seems like an opportunity is being missed somewhere.
My experience disagrees. I have a bunch of electron apps installed that single dev companies wrote
A great point in the form of a question. I should have phrased my comment differently.

The emergence of DuckDuckGo and the excitement for Apple's upcoming anonymous sign-in feature proves there is a massive gap in the market for privacy-focused products.

I'm afraid there will be regulation that will harm the ability for new companies, with a focus on privacy, to emerge due to the increased compliance costs.
>Even DNA is unrecoverable/unusable after a few centuries iiirc

Only if poorly stored. We have plenty of neanderthal DNA, because we have lots of neanderthal teeth which we drill into to extract this ancient DNA. Properly stored, DNA can last thousands of years, I'd wager indefinitely in the right buffer and in liquid nitrogen.
I also particularly liked the idea of covering it with a layer of small boulders to make it unappealing to agriculture. It's like, have you ever heard of New England?

When you say 'support symlinks' what behavior would you expect the service to have with them?

I run a company with sync software, we treat them same as any other file so if you have one in a folder set to sync, we sync it, we don't follow the link and sync the linked file (as the link could go outside of the configured sync folder).

Wow, I can't really see a reason for Google to implement this change. Now photos are locked on Google Photos with no simple way of creating backups on a local machine via Google Drive?
They lost me when they nuked xfs support (which was working beautifully). I can't rework my nas FS which has TBs of data just to get Dropbox. I'm just waiting for my yearly subscription to expire...

I recently switched back (again) to iOS from Android and the backend was so painful, I decided to pay for iCloud and have things backed up, swearing never to go away from iOS again (still think it's a better platform after multiple switches back and forth).

Really happy with it so far. Simplest way I've found to be able to get my photos and other stuff synced between multiple devices + family and friends (through shared albums)
It's going to depend heavily on which specific CPU you're talking about and which specific workload, but at least on Handbrake the Ryzen 2700 was the performance/watt king per legitreviews: https://legitreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/performa...

Maybe Intel took that back with their lower clocked 8c/16t chips, dunno, this isn't something that comes up all that much in consumer reviews. But there's at least not a significant gap in either direction, it's pretty much a wash.

On the server side of things Anandtech didn't seem to go much into it but at least with this one: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11544/intel-skylake-ep-vs-amd...

The dual EPYC 7601 used 100w less than the Xeon competition in povray while also being the fastest system by a substantial margin at povray, too. Which would put performance, power, and performance/watt all firmly in the EPYC 7601's domain on that one test. And Intel took it back on MySQL. So 50/50 split.
I use Google Docs / Sheets both at work and for some personal stuff.

I would never use Google Drive because it's a piece of shit. Whenever I used it I ended up with data being corrupted and this happened for both the standard Backup and Sync and the new Drive File Stream. Files being corrupted or missing is the worst scenario possible for a file sync service. Not to mention it's really, really slow and inefficient.

I keep using Dropbox because it's the only one that works.

Also I don't get what the point of the Google Docs integration is, but who knows, I might end up using it.
Because almost nobody browses Instagram from a desktop website. IG themselves discourage it by providing a gimped experience on web. So there is a 90%+ chance that anybody clicking on the link in the IG bio is already on a mobile device.
Why would it not be possible to use multiple cores? Even though the plugins depend on the output of the previous one, they could sit on different cores, passing their output on from core to core. Even though that would not be parallel, being distributed, it could be faster (in some cases it might not).

What the hell is your problem with alcohol?
Honestly, I support this guy. Most scientists and government bodies are still in the fearmongering stage trying desperately to decrease emissions without actually putting teeth behind targets when realistically that ship has long since sailed. It's better to be testing climate engineering projects like this now than to sit around and hope that things don't get as bad as every indicator points they will be.

Granted, there are better ways to go about this with more process, oversight, and government cooperation, but every time someone even proposes a similar test, it seems to get shut down immediately.
Alternatives don’t have to be services, you can directly contact people who do use the service or who live with the people you want to know about.

And your opting out of the network makes it a little less valuable, since now no one has access to updates about yourself. If you can convince a few more people to lower their exposure or to move to something like friendica then the network becomes even less valuable and helps to lower Facebook’s power.

I would much rather fight the problem this way than trust legislators to come up with a fair way to regulate it. Same with sugar, I would rather invest in educational campaigns to convince people how bad sugars and sodas are for their body than have the government ban all sugar or decide how much can be in a product. The lobbies will usually end up writing the final laws anyway, and who knows what their incentives are.
As I understand it, corporations are not legally required to "grow, forever until the end of time", they are required to act in the interest of shareholders. Typically, that means returning value to shareholders of the company.

Growing the company is one way to achieve that. Other ways include paying out a share of the profit the company is making via a dividend or using share buybacks to reduce the number of outstanding shares.

There are plenty of examples of companies doing all of the above on various public exchanges. For example, utility companies often don't grow very much (if at all) but they do have consistent cash flow which they pay out as dividends.
You're essentially suggesting "properly" going through the slow and inefficient bureaucracy machine, when the underlying issue is exactly that people tried to do what you suggested but ended up getting nowhere.

You realize you need a kitchen sink, it turns out there are 2 other teams who already created their own semi functioning kitchen sink which they want you to adopt, but doesn't fit in your kitchen, and the CIO is working with Home Depot to create standardized kitchen sinks for the entire company which will be ready in 3 years (realistically 5 years, or maybe never), but your current sink is leaking and is flooding your kitchen now, so you do what you can to fix it.

Basically a principle of asking for forgiveness rather than permission. Does it cause issues? Of course, any solution to today's problem becomes tomorrow's problem. Now there are 3 semi functioning kitchen sinks in your company, but at least they are functioning
I believe he's speaking historically.

AMD wasn't really a consideration but for budget until they launched the Athlon in the late 90s. The success of Athlon was as much about Intel's fumble with Netburst as it was with Athlon being a solid competitor.

It took Intel almost a decade to roll out Core and in that time AMD failed to capture the market despite making tremendous gains and legitimizing itself.

Ultimately AMD fumbled with the Bulldozer/Excavator lines of CPUs and lost almost everything they had gained.

The reasons AMD couldn't capture the market are complex but the short answer is that Intel influences every aspect of a computer from software, to compilers, to peripherals, to firmware.
Agreed; it's frustrating and scary how difficult it is to get people to care about online privacy. If data harvesting/target advertising continues unchecked, we'll be living in an Orwellian surveillance state by 2030. That's not the scary part, though. The scary part is that the writing is on the wall and no one can be bothered to care (excluding HN users and the like - ya'll are awesome).

Also agree re:Coca Cola. However I also believe that we shouldn't blindly accept a status quo of "companies are inherently evil and value financial growth over the wellbeing/health/privacy of their customers". There are a few shining examples of business being conducted with true respect for customers. These ethical entities are few and far between, but they are worth their weight in gold and we should be mindful to vote for them with our wallets.

Getting aunt Sue to care about data harvesting and stopping the likes of Google/Amazon from taking over the world are both uphill battles. But something has to change, soon.

"Some people are against capital punishment in any case even if it is 100% painless and the judicial process is completely correct. I don't really have anything to say to them: it's obvious to me that there are certain crimes which absolutely merit that punishment and that to refrain from killing the guilty in that case is a profound injustice"

Well, a good thing is to not immediately cut off any possibility of reaching a common ground.

I think you describe the issue perfectly. Given an imperfect criminal justice system, how to you administer punishments?

Maybe the DA, the police involved, the judge, and every member of the jury should all be summarily executed in the case of wrongful conviction involving the death penalty? I can see some crimes that merit the death penalty, and if everyone involved had to risk their own life to apply it I would be more comfortable that it was not applied lightly because of racial/socioeconomic issues, police misconduct, or the political ambitions of a district attorney.
Perhaps the largest change over the forty years was the transition from software that shipped once every six months and had to last for years in production, to something that can ship every few minutes with a lifetime hours to a week.

During the era of shipped software (long cycle times) a hardware / software co-design model worked well to work out the customer requirements, dependencies, documentation, training materials, marketing, sales sheets, software, installation tools, and all manner of support modifications. Some of that cross-team communications takes more time and coordination than may be available in a two week sprint.

There were also the constraints of the release schedule burnt into everyones brain. So many things depended upon your shipping date that you dared not miss it. Sure, agile / scrum / whatever enables you to ship something a bit later, but there was nothing like the pressure cooker of everyone working as a team to make their delivery date. Requirements, in my rosy recollection, became very clear - things were in or out, not maybe.

Moving from large shipped software to web applications in 1999 offered any number of advantages, but it was quite difficult to keep the non-coders up to date with features and capabilities. Understanding doesn't always move at the same speed for all people.

What I'm going to say next may not be everyone's experience, but the two week sprint has started to seem like a convenient way to set and miss objectives; i.e., we can put it into the next sprint. Sure, I understand that planning is a black art in some cases, but always missing your commitments and making the same statement indicates, to me, that there's a problem with the absorption of the agile development model.

Product development and execution is a very hard process for all involved. Brooks had it wright, there are no silver bullets and the web seems to proliferate the belief that such things actually do exist.

> NAT is like literally Satan.

NAT is merely a tool. Using it to restrict user activity is bad. Using it on your home network to preserve your privacy (ie how many devices you have and what each is doing) is good. There are also other use cases (both good and bad) that I'm omitting here.
Everything that I've read said that they did.

According to the consumer announcement

> If you use Backup & Sync to upload photos and videos to Drive and Photos, it will upload a copy to each service, but it will not take up duplicate storage.
You make it hard to hire if you limit the field to those who know the esoteric techniques. Programming itself is mostly a dead-end career; you either move into management or quasi-management, or face ageism on average. There is thus not a lot of incentive to "perfect the art".
My perception is that this happens every time the app starts. After it scans everything the CPU/MEM/IO consumption goes down to reasonable levels.

As far as I could see there is no way to add certain stocks/crypto/funds etc. basically just a slightly better spreadsheet, you have to enter all by yourself. That’s a pitty, I would like to have one where I just enter which stock I bought and when and it shows me the win/loss over time.
The way you are wording it to yourself makes it seem like it's impossible to avoid 100% killing one innocent person, and infinite costs approach 100% never killing one innocent person, but never reaching that perfection. That is not the case. There is a price ceiling on avoiding killing an innocent person. That is the cost of putting them in a jail cell for 90 years (upper limit) as an alternative to the death penalty. What is the cost for jailing someone for 90 years? Let's say it's 10 million dollars. That is 4 cents per person in the USA.

Jailing the offender also prevents them from killing/raping/etc because now they are in jail. Really a false comparison here. I think all the countries of the world overwhelmingly have voted in favour that this cost is worth it. The countries that did not, made it very hard to execute prisoners anyways and very rarely use it.
I had to recently redo my CV, I made the previous one in InDesign but I needed to work on it both on Linux and Windows so I aimed for something easily editable and portable.

I tried creating in markdown and converting it to pdf with pandoc but the result wasn't that great since I could not style it, I discarded LaTeX too since I didn't really have the time to learn a new tool.

After a bit I settled on HTML and SCSS, I also written a small Dart script to compile to CSS using lib-sass, converting to pdf is really easy since I just print the page directly from the browser. While writing it I also discovered that there are certain CSS media queries just for printing a page, I used it hide certain elements when saving to pdf so I can have just one source for both browser and print.

If you're in a rush I suggest you take this approach into consideration.

> refrain from killing the guilty in that case is a profound injustice.

That's only the case if you believe in free will ideology. The injustice is "society" villainizing a person who had no control over their fate if you understand free will is an illusion because of determinism and how the brain functions.
There's (IMO) a mix.

Kubernetes and cloud native software make a lot of use of TLS for mutual auth.

A standard Kubeadm cluster (very vanilla k8s) has 3 distinct Certificate authorities, all with the CA root keys online.

On top of that things like Helm, FluentD and Istio will make use of their own distinct TLS certs.

One of the most "fun" pieces is that k8s does not support certificate revocation, so if you use client certs for AuthN, then a user leaving/changing job/losing their laptop can lead to a full re-roll of that certificate authority :)

I don't see what's merciless about it. DB systems have various claims, he just goes about asserting if those claims are true. I think a serious take away from these is that all DB systems have issues, there are some faults that do happen, know them and design for it. Any DB that claims to have no fault is lying.

Not Ryzen related, but seems you're pretty up to speed with AMD products. Does that include Radeon as well? I have a MBP and I am considering a Radeon VII for my external GPU (currently GTX 1080 but only usable in Windows. Thanks Mojave). My main concern though is thermals and noise. Does it perform on par with Nvidia there or little bit worse or considerably so? Power draw I'm not that concerned with.
