The <picture> tag provides a nice, no-JS <img> tag upgrade that works in browsers (it doesn't break in IE so long as you have an <img> in there) to deliver the right image to the user. That means the user gets a smaller download, faster to render, higher quality image. It's essentially progressive enhancement for images (everyone gets the JPG or PNG, some users get a better format if they can handle it).

You can even add media queries to the <source> tags to deliver different images based on the user's device.

There is literally no downside to using it.

Not at all. Most stuff stays on the planet after we use it. Oil turns to plastic which gets put in a landfill. If you ever want that carbon back you can just go get it. Used helium floats up to the top of the atmosphere and blows away into space never to return. At the current rate of use we’ll run out of helium in the next few generations, and then that’s it. After that if you need helium you’ll have to get it from another planet.

I'd like to add that RHEL5 was more than tolerable in this aspect. Whatever kernel series it lived through, it seemed logical. We knew when RHEL5 systems started to swap that was our sign to A) look for long term usage growth that is beginning to bump some threshold somewhere B) someone turned a knob they shouldn't have C) a recent code change has caused a problem in the application stack

Then RHEL6 came along, and it swapped all the time. Gone was our warning. The stats shows tens of gigabytes of cache engaged. WUT? How do we have tens of gigabytes of memory doing nothing? Before you could finish that thought, OOM killer was killing off programs due to memory pressure. WTF? The system is swallowing RAM to cache I/O, but couldn't spare a drop for programs? ...I could go on, but simply put, RHEL6 was garbage. And really I mean the RHEL6 kernels and the way that Red Hat tweaked whatever they did for it.

RHEL7 was a little better, but still seeing echoes of the ugliness of RHEL6. RHEL5 was just a faded pleasant dream.

The last 3 Fedoras on the other hand, the memory management seems like we're finally digging ourselves out of the nightmare. That nightmare lasted almost a full decade.... sheesh
This is a misunderstanding of what “science” is. Your objection is that the theories of economics are not correct enough for it to be a science. How is this argument not also true of, say, chemistry? Every simple theory in chemistry has a number of exceptions, with a more complicated theory waiting in the wings, up to the limit of our understanding.

“Science” is not some kind of shorthand for “ultimate understanding of the world”. It is just a process for validating and understanding the limitations of theories.
If Google's idea of a hit squad is to pay a few hundred thousand dollars worth of salary to have people do your own bug searching for you and give you a few months to fix it before letting anyone know (or until after you've fixed it, if sooner), then sign any company I'm working for up, and I'm sure there are plenty of other companies that would love the attention too.

Apple gets attention from them because a lot of people have apple hardware and software. That means problems there have a higher impact than on some less used product.

Apple is more than welcome to respond with its own researchers finding Android and other software bugs, and we'd all be better off if they did.
> I don't use MySQL, but I've heard it's not nearly as bad as it once was.

MySQL 5.7+ is decent. Where it loses out to PostgreSQL is the lack of plugins/extensions. PostgreSQL is extensible in ways MySQL users can only dream of (e.g. timescaledb, pg_trgm)

Also, the forking of MySQL and MariaDB has resulted in 2 very similar databases that people consider interchangeable - but aren't. There's plenty of "gotchas" if SQL is meant to run on both.
I think the OP's comment is just right. Some "bugs" (spiders are "bugs" but they are not insects) have surprisingly complex behavior, and chickens can be surprisingly stupid for animals with actual brains. For instance, they will stay in their coop and drown in a flood, even if they can easily jump over its fence to evade you in other times. It's really incomprehensible.
Perhaps people didn't need a word for blue because they could say "the color of sky". For example the English word "green" comes from "grow" in PIE, meaning "the color of (plant) growth".

Even "yellow" comes from "grow" although the sound changes there are significant enough that it's not as obvious as "green" is.
>> if your timeline is more than 10-15 years, why should you worry at all about recessions next year? On a long enough timeline, a recession is just a great buying opportunity.

> Did you miss 2001-2008? Or are you being purposefully deceptive.

This looks more like you being intentionally dishonest. I took DJIA figures from http://www.fedprimerate.com/dow-jones-industrial-average-his...:

January 2000: 11,722.98
December 2001: 10,021.57
March 2003: 7,673.99
October 2006: 11,850.21 (beating the high of 1/2000)
October 2007: 14,164.53
March 2009: 6,507.04
December 2010: 11,577.51
January 2015: 17,164.95

Here we have a 15-year period which starts at the high price before the period you "called out". What are we supposed to view the low points as, if not great buying opportunities?

(Also, it's pretty apparent that 2001-2008 doesn't make sense conceptually as a single period.)
So fewer riders, more driver supply. Sounds like it would make the recession hit a service like Uber harder.

I was talking to a taxi driver who noted that leading up to the end of financial year, taxi rides drop significantly, as discretionary spending dries up from the public sector. I wonder if you could gauge the same effect for Uber in public sector heavy cities to get a glimpse at what a financial crisis might look like to such a platform.

That's the same way you work with literally every other UI framework (except the immediate-mode GUIs popular in gamedev), complete with the built-in event loop that's hidden from you. Web isn't special here, except that no other framework I've seen allows you to modify the UI by programmatically editing the serialized text description of it.
There's no marginal cost (effectively) on a single gym visit.

Salesforce to buy Israel's ClickSoftware for $1.35B
I think that all processes are needed on the typical server, monitoring included. If one often runs out of RAM, buy more physical or virtual RAM. Furthermore we probably have more than one server if we really care about the service they offer. One server crashes, another one spins up, the others copie with the load meanwhile.

The option to kill processes is more interesting on personal machines, where sometimes adding RAM is not even an option. My anecdotal experience with a laptop without swap since 2014 (16 GB, then 32) is that I got near the limit a couple of times. I wouldn't mind if Linux killed any of the browsers, emacs (which is tiny nowadays), Thunderbird. They can recover. Maybe kill even databases. Leave me XOrg, the desktop environment and a terminal to investigate the problem.
Just because your employer pays you to write open source, which is great, it doesn't mean all FOSS is sponsored by employers. "but use evidence of that to get well-paid contract work" - yup, that's the issue. Most FOSS is written by devs who want something shiny on their CVs, but don't realise that a well paid contract is far less than what they would get if they were to sell the software. Most FOSS devs are taken advantage of. I cringe each time I see "i wrote an open source alternative to X". Why would you waste your own time building something free and knowing that someone somewhere will make money off of your work? Instead, depraving large companies of your free of charge software means greater distribution of wealth among software developers. Plus FOSS means "free" as in freedom of knowledge not free of charge.

Essentially, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and so on, have outsourced development to vast amount of unpaid developers; while software focused companies are becoming more and more rare because somewhere, somehow, a bunch of highly skilled engineers think it's a good idea to spend their own time writing something awesome, while at work they complain about how their work is not understood and how management doesn't give a dime about quality engineering. Instead they should deprive these companies of their free labour, group together and build awesome technically written code, and charge money for it.
The SR-71 had a moving engine inlet spike, so that would be an operating limit based on temperature and speed.

Fun fact: the SR-71 flew its entire mission in radio silence, including multiple aerial refuelings, to avoid pesky Russian trawlers, etc. tracking it.

Generally aluminum is good to Mach 2.2, then you go to steel or titanium for either leading edges or the entire fuselage.

Which makes the F-5 all that more impressive, as its fuselage was designed for Mach 2.0, near the limit of aluminum, even theough the engines limited it to Mach 1.3 to Mach 1.6. (The F-5 was so small that it was optically stealthy - adversaries couldn't see it outside 5 miles.)

Titanium was used as a last resort in the F14 to reduce weight in the central fuselage box, which meant building the world's largest titanium casting plant at the time. Your tax dollars at work.
What you’re saying between the lines is that it won’t be Uber that succeeds in the self-driving space. But that means they’re doomed long-term.

We don't know what Apple does when they replace batteries for customers. Maybe there's a calibration process or something of the sort. After all they're reporting battery health, which nobody else does, and that's notoriously difficult to get right.
I think there's still room for giving the benefit of the doubt. We're just assuming that all they do is plop a battery with an Apple logo on it and call it a day, but we don't know that.
The most successful clickbait is the clickbait you aren't quite comfortable to label as such but it's really close to the line. So, mission accomplished for the publisher I guess.
Yes, there are NoIR versions of v1 camera, they just miss the infrared filter normal cameras have (around 9$ on aliexpress.com). And there are 12$ versions of v1 camera with (hardware) IR-cut filter, depending on photo sensor on camera IR filter is enabled at day, and removed at night.
This is exactly correct. But the issue that “humans don’t fit well to a mathematical formula” is also true of everything that you don’t describe with quantum field theory. Even chemistry is full of this.
Except they're not "accessing EU markets." I'm a Norwegian, so I'm not in the EU. As such I never voted for EU laws to apply, and I feel they're being forced on me. Also, I'm the one who's technically accessing American markets, offered from the USA. So American laws should apply. Just my opinion. World leaders and companies don't care about individual freedom, so...
Kind of like orange, rose, pink... though I doubt most people consider the literal meaning when using those adjectives (except for rose perhaps).
i routinely see these days systems without or with very low swap. It is like swap has become faux pas. That is especially strange giving the SSD drives available on the machines. Gradual degradation of service vs. the service sudden disappearance and/or stall or heavy overprovisioning and still ...

No, do not do a bootcamp. As others have said bootcamps are for people who have never coded before. If you want to up-skill and get a job using more current technologies, then you can self study in the evenings and weekends (if your circumstances allow for it) or you can quit your job and spend a few months learning a new technology/platform/language etc. (again, if your circumstances allow and if you have enough savings to do this). It sounds like you are itching for a more fast paced (to use a cliche) environment so I would recommend you start looking at other companies to work for while trying to learn the skills necessary for those jobs.

That said, if its mainly salary that you're concerned about then 150k is a pretty good amount. Even in more "trendy" companies - there is a ceiling to how much developers earn, AFAIK the only way to earn more than ~200k as a developer is to work for a FAANG company.

Finally, don't think that just because you heard one story about somebody who got a 150k job straight out of bootcamp that this is the norm. The reality is most bootcamp grads find it extremely difficult to get a job because there is so much competition for junior developer roles these days.
I can't add much to this, besides the point that in my experience with expansion tunnels [1][2] from my time at uni, they are very short-term test facilities, lasting for fractions of a second. They work by compressing a big vessel of air with a piston, rupturing a diaphragm, and then blowing that highly compressed air through a expansion nozzle (which, unlike subsonic flow, accelerates the flow velocity through the nozzle) before passing it over the test piece.

I'm not familiar with the APTU, but it would not surprise me if this is a similar concept, wherein it delivers a short-term high-velocity flow across a test object. I think the main difference is it heats with a combustion air heater, rather than pressurising with a big slug. In any case, because it's quick and requires a small cross-sectional area, much of the surrounds of the machine are all sensors to measure everything, since you don't want to have to do it over and over again. I think that is much of what can be seen in the photo of the APTU.

I don't understand this romantic idea of Olden Times. I doubt any Parisian misses dying of simple dieases or just not having access to emergency care.

The recent licence changes (MongoDB, Redis, CockroachDB), and GCloud SaaS statement/announcement about working with the corresponding upstream teams to make stuff cloud ready are clear steps against AWS (and Azure too probably).

AMD using an open graphics driver is also a nice development of the last few years.

And we can mourn the loss of easily hackable PCs, but a lot of kids these days are just as exposed to tech as 20-30 years ago. (Eg Minecraft redstone programming, mobile app development, high quality YouTube videos about all things electronic, digital.)

So while naturally a higher tech aware populace would be nice, without cultural shifts and accompanying changes in education the status quo is not surprising.

Completely dissociating our lives from the natural processes that we evolved with for millenia and which we don't yet fully understand is very likely to create many more, and much more serious issues than it is supposed to address.

Synthetic meat (or any kind of food) in particular sounds like a really awful idea. It sounds like some kind of progressive, rational choice but it is really only an extreme of the abuses of technology that make our lives miserable and drive people to seek a "natural" way of life (which never existed).

If I may be so bold, that is not how we resolve the ethical issues of industrial meat production. It's how we turn into the Borg.

Is making a web site, hosted in the USA, "marketing to the EU"? I don't think so. I think it's akin to opening a shop in New York.

It won’t be for no reason.

If their battery health tightly calibrated to report on Apple’s OEM battery, it could provide misleading information about third-party batteries.

My guess is that Apple is bored of dealing with complaints about devices which have been modified by third parties.

There is no combustion in a nuclear thermal ramjet, so those weren't scramjet engines.
I think a lot of programmers forget the purpose of programming is for an end result. Instead, they focus on ever more complexity to feel superior to their peers. "Look what I can do" attitude. This reminds me of the Nasa space pen, when Nasa spent a million to develop a space pen and the Russians just used a pencil.
I wonder if micro fluctuations in battery output voltage and current (due to manufacturing variations) could be used to 'fingerprint' a battery. Encrypted transmission of this fingerprint between the battery chip and the OS = invalidate the battery if the fingerprint suddenly changes.
> Turns out the people actually doing the work are usually pretty sensible.

The replication crisis suggests otherwise; they’re often delusional (believing in things that aren’t there) or outright frauds (publishing results they know are false for personal gain).
Yes I'm aware of matrix. A couple of things that I don't like about the matrix protocol are: 1. identity is tied to a server and users are not free to move between servers. 2. servers are assumed to be always online and have low latency.
Thanks, sounds perfect, I'll try that.
Credentials - in my experience they just aren't a thing in software development. Apart from juniors just starting out I've never once seen a CV or a job application that mentioned any kind of programming credentials or certifications (if I understand you're meaning of "credentials" correctly?). For getting into a new area of development some ways to prove yourself are:

1. Contribute to open source codebases

2. Work on side projects

3. Convince your existing company to use a new technology so you can work on it in your day job.

Maybe others? I can't think of anything else right now..

Github profiles can be a bit hit or miss - I think probably most people don't really look at them. However if you have made meaningful contributions to open source codebases on github then you can link to those in your CV, or mention it on your covering letter or just mention it in the interview.
Right, like Mad magazine? I would have subscribed if I’d known they were about to close.

There is a drawback with Raspbian, while Raspbian itself is open source, the GPU code is closed source and you cannot debug it. What you can do is to reverse engineer the I2C traffic from Raspberry GPU to camera (that is one-way):
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1091...

And you can hack the camera by injecting I2C commands to achieve effects impossible with the normal Raspbian camera software, like taking odd/even frames with different shutter speed:
