Rails burned out in under 10 years. The reason I say React will be gone in another 5 years is because it's already been popular for 5 and the muttering has started. Do you remember Adobe Flex? React is following a shockingly similar path and timeline.
I've come to the conclusion that advertising is the only viable monetization model for most content businesses. This is not a new phenomenon, this is the same reason advertising is dominated television (even paid cable channels), print media like newspapers and magazines, and even in sports. The economics of it are pretty straightforward—customers simply don't value most content at what it costs to produce it.

I do a good amount of media buying and content production. From where I stand, the issue is in the consolidation of power. Content discovery and ad placement are far too closely related, which is bad for everyone involved (well, all but the ad platforms). Going directly to publishers is possible but difficult, it's not currently a scalable solution.

A Tesla recruiter recently contacted me, twice, trying to interest me in a job there (embedded software development). I just ignored the emails; I've heard similar stuff about that place, in regards to the excess working hours. No thanks.

That's only if you view the metric separate from the rest of the physics though, when you include it the resulting (classical) field theory is invariant under time translations (see Hilbert-Einstein equations).

The fact that energy isn't conserved for a fixed metric is basically just what makes flybys capable of increasing the kinetic energy of a projectile.
SLAs are all about getting compensation when they are broken. It isn't about actual uptime.
Sniping is the only rational way to big on eBay. You bid a single time, with the absolute maximum you would go for, and put it in the last 10 seconds. It prevents both you and your opponents from raising the price irrationally. Automatic bidding just encourages prices to go up, based on emotion. Sniping in the last few seconds removes the emotional component.
I think you missed folkrav's point. People write their own history in their own language. If we lose a language, we don't just lose the language. We lose everything that was written or otherwise recorded (exclusively) in that language, most importantly the culture and history of all its users across time.

Tomorrow, if English were to be lost, most of the history of the US, Great Britain and other English speaking nations (as well as records written in English but pertaining to other non-English speaking nations) would be lost.

I left Cloudflare for AWS a long time ago despite CF's affordability since they didn't seem to care that much about uptime or quality. Their frontend was corrupting response bodies + caching response bodies (in retrospect, this was probably pre-discovery cloudbleed) and there was no way to get a response or help with it.

"Can we meet up on Friday?"

"No" vs "No, I already have plans with X"

First case gives you all the information needed (denial), however in the second case I understand the situation much better. I wouldn't call the text on the status page meaningless though - it's pretty nice and concise already (which is what you want in a "crisis"). Just some brief description of the problem would be good, even though technically unnecessary.
I went to that page but there is no way to download the books. What's the name of the link/button to use?
Amazing. The Tesla haters were going to town on them all quarter, claiming bankruptcy was imminent and there was "no demand".

Now they've delivered more cars than any other quarter in their history.

> sharing timestamp swaps that you can plug into VLC is a different story.

That is precisely what I am suggesting sharing - page numbers, paragraph numbers, length, and other metadata needed to filter the book (essentially "timestamps" for books). This metadata would tell the software where to excise sections from the ebook. People would need to own their own copy of the book, and the ewhiteout software just alters it according to the metadata input.

They're not immune from losing, but they are immune from the technical definition of disruption (from The Innovator's Dilemma, where "sustaining innovation" also come from).

But you're right, pay-per-use is different from license fees (though they do try to approximate volume), and scalability is also different.

Oracle have also been shifting to the cloud, so they are scalable. I'm assuming they also modify their fee structure to make sense with SaaS, i.e. charge-per-usage.

In the following, I'm arguing in good faith not just to score points or win but seeking insight, and I hope you are too: I'm not sure if that transition matters.

It might matter, if Oracle can't adjust to it: organisationally (internally), can't sell in this new way (e.g. sales pitches and sales schedules must change), etc. Whereas, for AWS, it's business as usual, their systems and people all deal with it, have overcome the problems, and have been optimising it, and continue to.

It is a big change, and it's not clear that Oracle will do it smoothly, although they have made big changes before.

But here we return to disruptive innovation vs. sustaining innovation... does this change in scalability and pricing structure make a difference to the business relationship?

For example, if it became a smaller monthly fee rather than larger annual contract, and a different person lower in the customer organization was in charge of it, it could make a huge difference. Different contact, different stakes, different metrics. OTOH, if the total is similar, they'd probably have the same person handle it the same as before.

> including by US intelligence...

'US intelligence' is a bit of an oxymoron, TBH. Weren't they going to bring democracy to Iraq? That has gone well for sure. If we really want to keep a constructive attitude towards the Middle East, it's important to keep that goal in mind and stick to it, without pursuing distractions. What the Chinese seem to be attempting is an obvious non-starter for lots of reasons.
What do you mean? They are going to drive autonomously coast-to-coast by 2018! Almost there!

For a), the big question is: why did they think it's a better option? What risks do your customers see in you/what did they dislike? A general feeling of "not getting their moneys worth" can be treated differently than "we're worried you get sick/disappear on a jungle trip/... and we're stuck without the only person knowing what's going on".
Problems on the manufacturing lines have been resolved quite a long time ago. Now they are facing logistical difficulties of delivery.

None of them even promise that -- last time I checked, it was 99.95% for most of them.
A general observation/question related to this style of headline we see here: “[...] beats [analysts] target”

Why do we write like that? Wouldn’t it make more sense to write “[analysts] misses [...] target”? It feels to me like writing “Weather rains more and beats meteorologists’ expectations” when “Meteorologists underestimates rainfall” would be more true.
Sure we do. Things might get pretty bad, but we have plenty of time.

The difference is that if the bug is in the runtime you have to fix one place and everyone downstream gets that. If you solve one such bug in curl, you solved it just in curl.

EDIT: I thought about it a bit more and realized it cuts both ways. If you have an RCE in a standard library a lot of programs get an RCE for free while it's not patched. So yeah, a bit of a mixed bag.

>> "My friend Andrew wears the same brand of black shirt every day. He thinks that if he conserves the brainpower it would take to pick something to wear, he’ll bank it and be able to use it later for something else."

I do something similar, but in a way that keeps it interesting. I always pull a shirt off the right and move the hanger to the left for clean ones out of the dryer. Pants are the same. Stacked stuff always comes off the top. Clean ones go on the bottom.

I also went with Blogger in 2019 rather than fuss over blog engines. It's exportable, free, runs under your own domain, has few restrictions on front-end customization, and is unlikely to go out without warning. At worst, I defer thinking about it until later when I have a better sense of my needs.

Related to that, I started on a PHP-based static blog engine. I reasoned that PHP was made for smushing data and HTML together, so it was perfect!

https://github.com/CondensedBrain/blogengine

But I also saw a future where I had to maintain all the bits and pieces. I really just wanted a blog, not a blogging engine. I hadn't read Choose Boring Technology yet, but it affirms the thinking that led me to pick Blogger over a custom engine and other pre-made options.

Tenki No Ko: Weathering with You Story Predictions (With Screenshots)
> The key is to realize C++ is not a language, but a federation of languages. You need to cherry pick a subset you what you want to use and stay disciplined. Otherwise, it is a mess.

I've noticed two strains in language design, which I internally call Scheme-style and Common Lisp-style:

Scheme-style languages are the trimmed-down languages, often built around a big idea which animates the rest of the design but not always; the defining concept of Scheme-style languages is always how much they can remove to get a pure design, a design which supports writing code in one style. Python, Smalltalk, C, and Scheme are all languages in this mold. Java is kind of a compromised Scheme-style language, or two of them (C and Smalltalk) rammed into each other at high speed, which also goes for Objective-C.

Common Lisp-style languages have mini-languages inside of them, or at least support multi-paradigm programming as a core design goal; you can trim a Common Lisp-style language into a Scheme-style subset, but you can't extend a Scheme-style language into something more Common Lisp-like unless you really are dealing with Scheme and have (hygienic) macros to use to add more syntax. C++, Perl, and Common Lisp are all Common Lisp-style; Unix shell is Common Lisp-style in practice because it encourages programmers to write in a bunch of relatively Scheme-style languages at once, all in the same program.

Note that both Scheme and Common Lisp have a conceptual core in the Lambda Calculus and axiom-like special forms. C++ lacks this and Perl doesn't really have it either, but most people don't write huge codebases in Perl.
Because cities love to tell people what they can and can't do, like how tall their grass can be.

Kubernetes Journey – Up and Running Out of the Cloud – Master and Worker
By its very nature, an SLA of 100% is a guarantee that the service will be available 100% of the time or else the relevant penalties, explicitly stated or otherwise applicable, can be applied.

The question is whether the guarantee is meaningful by way of whether the penalties will significantly dissuade failures to meet the guarantee, and I'd argue in the case of Cloudflare, this isn't the case.

[Edit: Cloudflare's standard] penalty is a service credit defined as follows:

> 6.1 For any and each Outage Period during a monthly billing period the Company will provide as a Service Credit an amount calculated as follows: Service Credit = (Outage Period minutes * Affected Customer Ratio) ÷ Scheduled Availability minutes

https://www.cloudflare.com/business-sla/

And that's woefully inadequate for any enterprise client with mission- or life-critical services.

---

TL;DR: A SLA is a guarantee, by the very definition of the word "guarantee," that a service will be delivered to a specific level and that certain agreed-upon penalties will be applied to the service provider if this guarantee is not met.

Well, that's the point where I'd call Apple's judgement into question. They should have put the breaks on new releases with the keyboard until they had a clearer picture of what was going on.
It's a much bigger company under much stricter rules and regulations. It's well understood that a small startup will have a much more lax security posture around customer data than the trillion-dollar technology company.
It's definitely viable, but I'm not sure about it being the only way.

Netflix shows that there's an appetite towards paying for content, and HBO furthers the idea while demonstrating how that same approach can be much more profitable.

For journalism side, premium, niche publications like The Information putting bets on the idea that users are willing to pay a lot of money for content as long as it's much better and more useful than the free alternatives.
To me, Kobo has a major advantage with the “warm toned” backlight on the Clara HD. I switched from kindle just for that.

On kobo, the dedrm process involves installing the kobo desktop software (windows/Mac only), which syncs the books to your desktop. From there you can snatch the ebook from the file manager and put it in calibre. There’s an “obok” dedrm plug-in.

If you switch from kindle to anything else, you will lose the ability to download your kindle purchases. You need an active kindle account/device to download ebooks from the kindle library (this wasn’t always the case).

Knowing the guy for his personality, I might've guessed it was that kind of an app, and I was careful not to ask because honestly I think he was waiting for me to ask so he could wave his dick in my face and drop the big reveal for all the times he might have "caught" me.

Yeah fucking right. Emailing a developer with a pixel? Are you kidding?

As you note, unless you negotiate a custom contract, usually the "penalties" are very, very mild. It's effectively the same as there not being a penalty at all. The SLA is just a marketing nice-to-have divorced from the engineering realities
> The key is to realize C++ is not a language, but a federation of languages. You need to cherry pick a subset you what you want to use and stay disciplined.

The issue is that no matter how disciplined you are, others will be using a different subset of the features available and you end up using different "languages", even when everyone on your team is ostensibly writing "C++".
Just employ them in the same continuous way, but let them fix more problems.

I'll bet if you asked those guys, they'd rather use a backhoe or a bobcat instead of a shovel. Their bodies will last a lot longer too - I have many older friends who just destroyed their bodies doing crap like that when they were younger.
