Crunchyroll Delta Config Service for Experimentation
Config delta consist of a simple standard for how clients and services define what's configurable and a service responsible for eligibility resolution, cohorts tagging and serving a consistent per-user "delta config" for the duration of the experiment.

Delta Config cleanly de-couples experimentation and feature rollout from any code base experimentation rot or feature flags in favour of configurable components while keeping it easy for product owners to track cohorts and experiment KPIs against our standard event stream analytics.

I agree with this. My main grip with this type of government spending is not the action itself, but rather this is same party that whines and slashes foodstamp and WIC funding, yet has no issue with corporate welfare.

Definitely. I sweat a lot when I work out. I can hardly use my phone at all. That’s also why I thought it was one of the dumbest idea in the world when Garmin introduced a capacitive touch GPS watch for running. I had a Garmin with physical buttons even after there were great running apps for phones.
Perfect! Music to my ears.
Radio waves are knowable,there are unknown unknowns and that's not what I meant. I meant unknowable unknowns.

Think a variable X that will never have value assigned to it. The concept seems ridiculous but on your point,for a long time the concept of the number 0 ( defining non-existance of quantity as a value) was not considered or thought of as useless thing.
Your team needs excellent JIRA hygiene for that to actually work. I’ve been on and managed teams where it’s expected and demanded and others where it was an afterthought.
I think tech firms have an opportunity to do good things when selecting a new office in a new city or state. Let me explain.

200 jobs means roughly 300-350 people (some are singles, some are couples, some have kids) that will be directly affected by Stripe opening these offices in Baltimore.

On average, 100 people with relatively high salaries (as it is the case for Stripe employees) "drive" 30 to 50 other jobs (services, etc). This means that this single move by Stripe has the capacity to influence 500-600 people in total. Not a small number.

In cases like this, I wish they would consider partnering with a local architect firm and/or construction firm, plus an investment firm, to repurpose a neglected area, or even build from scratch, using sound and proven architectural guidelines (a good example: https://nightingalehousing.org/ in Melbourne). This way they could offer both office and housing to their employees, and push for sustainable architecture.

Heck, with a larger workforce, they could even be as bold as designing a new town altogether. Some great architects and designers have already shared what's the best way to do it. TL;DR: it's not about cars, it's about people. [0] [1] etc.

I would love to chat with people interested with this idea, and share the little I've learned in my own free time.

RISC was invented as an alternative approach in an era when processors had really complex instructions

Yes, RISC was simpler than the VAX-11 (which was simpler than the 432). But what did RISC do that Cray hadn't already done? It was a Cray on a chip sans vector. Even the CDC 6600 (also co-designed by Cray) was load/store.
Funny thing is, asking twice a day doesn't even make sense for the manager...

Of course, it relieves stress and stuff, but if you're THAT stressed because of the project and need constant reassurance from the engineers, you're clearly in the wrong job.

I had to lead a few engineering teams (wasn't a PM, though) and the only approach that ever worked for me was to check things out in much larger intervals, a week, sometimes even more. Actually treat engineers like adults and be an adult yourself. Let them come to you if they have a problem. Sample the progress in much larger intervals in order to reduce noise.

Micromanagement doesn't do any good for anyone.

> I said Swift Playgrounds, not Xcode.

You did, but (as you note) Swift Playgrounds don't get you anywhere near the interactive, self-contained experience that users could create and share with HyperCard.

> The people who did learn Hypercard scripting absolutely could do the exact same thing by dragging around buttons in Xcode's Interface Builder and hooking them up with a little bit of Swift scripting.

What you're saying is analogous to saying, "People who learned Excel and VBA could do the exact same thing by creating a web app in Visual Studio Code and hooking it up with a little bit of JavaScript". Yes, conceptually both are "just" programming. In reality, they're worlds apart.

I am not saying to abandon pursuit of knowledge,but like i stated in an earlier comment the number 0 for example exists to define 'nothing' and was not considered useful up until a few hundred years ago I believe. In the same way,if you can define "unknowable" as a value and assign it to certain variables,perhaps more knowledge and truth can be understood?

I know someone who tried to do this. It failed because they didn't fully transfer their child so instead of increasing financial aid it reduced it because somehow they had income from three parents counting against them (the two real parents and the "guardian").

It eventually got sorted out but it was quite hilarious for a while. The worst part was that the student had nothing to do with it.

And you're how the system should work. I grew up to middle class parents but was largely in the same situation, except my parents had nothing to help with. Multiple bankruptcies, a failed business, and marital problems eventually led to my childhood home being foreclosed on. I've seen both wealthy and poor alike game the system. It's frustrating, especially when the hard times are from their own poor decision making. One family I knew could have entirely paid off their home, bought a modest used vehicle the desperately needed, and saved some money for college. They blew it on giving it away to friends and family vacations. Their car fell apart and their home was foreclosed on, their children were forced to drop out of college all because they made poor decisions and refused any attempts at listening to the warning we tried to offer then that they were making poor decisions. These were people below the poverty line. If they'd waited a single year they would have been able to have it all with what they and from paying off their mortgage.

By no means am I claiming to be perfect financially. We moved before we were ready because the neighbors we'd previously been close with became resentful as our financial situation improved beyond theirs. They would do really insane things, burning trash in their yards immediately after we washed our cars to get our cars covered in ash, putting a floodlight directly into our bedroom that would go off randomly at night, blocking our driveway. We bought a house below what we could have in a moderately nice, but not upscale neighborhood. It took us months of searching for the right house. I have to drive a bit farther for work when I can't work from home, but saving thousands a year in mortgage payments and living in what we've made our dream home is worth it to us.

People like you are what makes the system better. Putting in the work and earning it. I bet you're awesome at what you do.

Very well said IMO.

Found the bit about planes/birds vs humans/AI very insightful:

"But it remains controversial whether further progress in AI will benefit from the study of animal brains. Perhaps we have learned all that we need to from animal brains. Just as airplanes are very different from birds, so one could imagine that an intelligent machine would operate by very different principles from those of a biological organism. We argue that this is unlikely because what we demand from an intelligent machine—what is sometimes misleadingly called “artificial general intelligence”—is not general at all; it is highly constrained to match human capacities so tightly that only a machine structured similarly to a brain can achieve it. An airplane is by some measures vastly superior to a bird: It can fly much faster, at greater altitude, for longer distances, with vastly greater capacity for cargo. But a plane cannot dive into the water to catch a fish, or swoop silently from a tree to catch a mouse. In the same way, modern computers have already by some measures vastly exceeded human computational abilities (e.g. chess), but cannot match humans on the decidedly specialized set of tasks defined as general intelligence."

Actually I don’t want to piss anyone off. It’s just being honest. Different people like different things and that’s ok. In today’s political age, people are being made to feel guilty for having an opinion. We should not encourage that trend.
I think they were running some kind of promotion in exchange for starring their Github project?
"Helm will provide technical support services to software users of Stripe," ... "Under Armour previously had a call center in the building."

Looks like the 200 jobs will be customer support call center jobs, which may not be relatively high salaries.
I'm the technical point of contact at a SP. Integrating with enterprise IdPs is awful. Out of over a dozen integrations I've done only a single IdP supports metadata exchange. Most of them don't know what it is. Okta and Onelogin, and other IdPs might support metadata exchange, but they keep it fairly quiet.

Metadata exchange seems sketchy at best. I don't trust any enterprise IT organization to keep their metadata endpoint working.

I've finally got a 'self service' system dialed in where enterprise users can setup their SSO without talking to us at all, and typically they only need to enter a single value into the configuration form - the ACS url. Key rotation is supported, etc, etc.

It is a bloated yucky protocol, but when you just use "SAML The Good Parts" it isn't bad.

Without knowing the language, the images at least imply that they're giving away free stuff in exchange for people signing up on github and starring their repo.
Does anyone understand why it's through a subsidiary / what that means? I can't seem to find any info about "Stripe Helm."

Is this some sort of optimization to open what's actually an outsourced support office but still get to to use the Stripe brand in news stories?

In a previous job I did consulting helping companies migrate apps to "the cloud". Almost all of these companies, which spanned industries from retail to pharmaceuticals to media to real estate, considered Amazon a competitor or soon to be one. They had all made the business decision to not use AWS, features, usability, and cost be damned, because they were not going to fund their own demise. I suspect as Amazon expands into and threatens more markets this will be more of an issue for AWS.
I translated it to English, and also looked at the images and I came to the same conclusion. From the images, it seems maybe they were giving away free products or gift cards if you starred the project.
I assume they are just using a bunch of 18650 cells?
Let me get this straight... She literally ruins her life and job prospects after her youthful and star struck affair and someone wants to credibly claim she was an agent? That so ridiculous is laughable.
Always run at max output? This doesn't seem right to me, they have moderators for a reason don't they?
If you logged in with a GitHub account and starred their project, you would be entered into a contest for a chance to win some products (or gift cards) like Baskin Robbins, Starbucks, movie tickets, etc.

Looks like SK Telecom, a Korean telecommunications company, ran a promotion asking people to star this Github repo for a reward.

The repo maintainer responds saying he agreed to the promotion as it is a way to show internally within the company that open source projects can be successful.

I didn’t read too much beyond that but that’s the gist of it.

Another thing to consider with the 'dig a hole' based pumped storage approach is that you can only 'suck' water about 15ft vertically (well technically you can't really suck water any appreciable distance, but the atmosphere can push it up about 15ft) so it means that your pumps need to be at the bottom of the hole.

You might be able to get away with some sort of remote actuated pump head like that used in an oil well (energy for pumping provided by a reciprocating metal rod) but the efficiency of such schemes is never going to get anywhere near the 80% you were targeting. Better hope that the pumps don't fail while the hole is full!
> We're biologically the same as we were 10,000 years ago

Tangential, but why do people so often get away with this particular case of sloppy thinking?

There have been plenty of wars and famines and civilisational calamities and bottlenecks and successes and migrations and radical changes in conditions over the last 10000 years. Evolution is known to act fast in a changing environment. There is no way "we" could have avoided significant change - and over much shorter timespans then ten millennia at that.
It looks like SK Telecom (South Korea phone company) was paying people to sign up for GitHub and star things via a contest for gift cards and such. The project runner being starred, kyungtaak, was apparently complicit in it (according to Google Translate of the GitHub comments). They shut it down once the bad publicity started, deleted the original site promoting it, and archived the GitHub repo.
Yeah that's kind of a danger when you have income-based aid. I remember hearing about related schemes where e.g. a couple will get divorced and give custody of the children to the lower-earning spouse so that said spouse can qualify for ACA exchange (Obamacare) subsidies and thus get cheaper healthcare.

It doesn't mean the costs outweigh the benefits, but you have to be careful about what behavior you're incentivizing and what you plan to do about that.

It's always tempting roll your eyes and say, "Come on, no one's going to legally disown their children/get divorced/have a child out of wedlock/pass up work just to game an aid policy!"
> Helm will provide technical support services to software users of Stripe,

Hm, anyone know what this is? Are these just call center jobs?

This article seems out of place. A tech company opening a new office is rarely news worthy (except in the case of FAANG). Am I right to assume this is being posted as a "counter" to recent comments made by Trump regarding Baltimore?

I think it's more like I left the back door of your house open, without ever having permission to access your house, and you got robbed because of that.

I admit the Equifax situation was worse. The people whose data was lost by Capitol One probably at least have some sort of business relationship with that company (for example, they may have applied for a credit card). I had no business relationship with Equifax at all, yet apparently information about me was leaked. I don't buy anything on credit, so I don't give a tinker's damn what my credit score is. Equifax provides no value to me whatsoever, yet I now have to worry about information they collected about me with no authorization from me. I'd like that company to be sued into bankruptcy.
Given that Ms. Thompson is transgender [0], it's likely a lot was stacked against her emotionally. 40% of trans-identifying individuals to attempt suicide [1].

I used to live in Baltimore. It’s a neat place to be a rich ORM. Between bad schools and high crime, it’s not a great place for middle class people to raise a family. There’s a reason Baltimore has experienced a net African-American outmigration of 40,000 (10% of the black population) since 1990. People who have the means are heading to greener pastures.
