Telemetry's core is done for a while and it has been announced at previous events. That's why we didn't put much focus into it this year.

You can learn more at Arkadiusz Gil's talk on ElixirConf EU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOuyOmcDV1U). I also talked about it in my keynote (someone posted a video below) and Marlus also gave a demo at this ElixirConf of how we plan to use Telemetry in Broadway and how a dashboard may look like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPu-P97-cbE).

At the same time, please remember that whatever we announce is not a promise, and the best way to make it happen is to get involved. :) For example, Telemetry is out there, Phoenix, Ecto and Plug already use it, so there is nothing stopping anyone from implementing the dashboard right now!
Hardly. I'm an OpenRC user. Booting OpenRC vs SystemD, desktop, server, VM. Near zero difference in boot time, neither side was a clear winner, nor always faster.

My favorite part is OpenRC still likes the old ways, has script extensions for new ways, and runs the same path every time.
I wonder how much more Amazon relies on written communication, over verbal. Even if teams are independent, they do interact with other Amazon teams, right? While there's always social value in some verbal and face-to-face time, it seems like if groups are independent, teams are gonna have to get good at writing things down, to avoid the madhouse.

I could have sworn I've read Amazon is notable for written communication, but I can't seem to quickly find the source. This seems like an important component of making small, independent teams work.
Why shouldn't they close? If it is not cost effective to support rural communities why do we prop them up? Lot of these places have 20% unemployment rates(areas listed in the article) yet there is a severe job shortage in urban areas. How about we fund moving them to areas that have better economic conditions/jobs?
I have been told that once you go after increasing health care costs (one goal of government run health care) hospitals will have to accept lower payments, which will not be good for rural hospitals specifically.

I am still in favor of doing that though. And ignoring that part, there are huge cost reductions to be had elsewhere, say, for example, an entire industry of medical billing and debt collection - though it'd sure be a shame to see all those nice folks out of work.
> If you just want a reliable mail service, just use https://fastmail.com. If you want even more freedom and configurations, do try to set up a mail server. But it is hard. A bit hard.

I used to run my own mail server, but I eventually migrated to Fastmail. I liked then because their software stack was similar enough to mine (compatible filter rules) and I knew where to find their admin on IRC.

The reason I made the switch is because I was sick and tired of my Email reliability depending on the reliability of my home Internet connection, and my co-lo/remote-hosting situation (at the time) had different reliability issues I didn't want to risk.
Use your favorite search engine for “bullet proof suits”.

There’s plenty of companies out there already doing this for the 1%.

Problem is that they’re just too damn expensive for anyone who is not in the 1%.

Moreover, even the best bulletproof vest isn’t going to help you against a head shot.

And even if they do shoot you in a place where the clothing does help, all it will do is spread that impact out over a larger part of your body. And then you are likely to wish you were dead because of all the pain you’re feeling from the shattered bones and other extreme trauma that can happen when you are hit by a flying sledge hammer which doesn’t penetrate your skin.

The real trick would be something that could make guns just go away.
This is some of the best news this summer!

Anyone that wants to reduce the influence that Google and Facebook have on the Web should look into the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem.
Manifest V3 and killing web.request API were the reasons that finally convinced me to go back to Firefox. Almost a month later, I didn’t find a single thing that would make me go back to Chrome.

My main complaint about fresh Firefox installations is that it takes a lot of time to fine tune everything. Every single time I have spend hours changing settings in about:config, from disabling telemetry, Pocket, changing networking/DNS settings, pipelining etc. Vanilla installation is just not well optimized.
Damn, needs Mojave. This ol' laptop has been having problems upgrading the OS. Guess we'll try that, again.

That's a bummer for me, I find the last version of NNW to hold its caches for forever, leading to several dozen gigs of images I have to delete every now and again.
> Injecting false values for a sensor reading is a very good way to hide your tracks as an attacker - just inject a bunch of "0" values, and then uninstall whatever malware did it, and probably nobody will ever find out why that sensor randomly acted up.

That may be for legacy machinery control systems (MCSs), but modern MSCs and increasingly wise to such threats as they monitor and archive all critical control system signals at the subsecond sample rates, such that sensor anomalies are detected in near real time and logged for future anaysis. You would not only need to hack the individual sensor signal, but you'd need to also know how to disrupt the MCS ladder logic that knows how to bypass a sensor putting out bad signals to keep the machinery system stable. Not an easy feat.

Personally, I mainly get involved in this data after the fact for energy optimization. However, the folks that design the systems complete Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in attempts to thwart failures and attacks at any concievable level. Still further, greater protection in terms of first line of defense firewalls and PKI certs between subsystems and components, making getting access to these bits int he first place increasingly difficult whereas these systems used to be virtually unprotected for any ding dong to tap into.

Sure, there are still holes, and probably always will be, but the efforts of MCS designers to protect their systems grows and the automation intelligence being developed to govern these control systems will provide an additional level of protection (and a known point of vulnerability).
Like any other sedative, lithium, yes, prevents mood swings and "makes you happy". I've personally verified Belgian beer does the same last friday ...

Is this a joke ? Of course that's what it does.

Does it help against the actual problem ? No.
Indeed! I wanted to comment on a post about journaling so it seemed like a clever username. :)
I would not say more evolved, if by evolved one means complex. Plants actually have more complex genomes than humans because they had to develop defense mechanisms that work even if they cannot move away from the threat. I would say humans are the most powerful of all animals.

Are the tracks actually parallel?

Had she gone into management after 5 years, how would the compensation, promotion opportunities, or job opportunities have differed?

I see many people go into management because they think it's the only way to continue to grow a career.

News always makes me upset or angry in some way, so I avoid it too.
Says a man who is not yet 75.

Otherwise he could prove his argument really quickly.
The only reason "we" think that humans are the most evolved of all animals, is that "we" don't really understand evolution.

We are evolved for a specific niche, and so are all other animals. They are just as evolved for their niche as we are for ours. And how evolved you are is not very quantifiable, so what's "more evolved" or "less evolved" is not easy to define.

I guess we're fortunate that our niche has turned out to translate very well to an extremely diverse number of environments. We're good at cooperating and transferring detailed, complex knowledge to new generations, and that has allowed us to develop complex culture, technology, even allowing us to survive in space.
Do the changes to pipelining settings to have a noticeable effect?
I don't have this experience at all with mobile firefox. I find it faster and with better UX.

A native application like QuiteRSS, completely self contained, just works, fast, low attack surfaces, etc is infinitely better than any web based monster.
I can't give a deep comparison since I haven't done anything too deep with LiveView (yet!) but I would encourage you to watch the keynotes on LiveView[1][2] if you're really interested. I have spent the last few years working with React / Redux on a big SPA and I believe the entire thing could easily be supported by LiveView; we don't do anything fancy, its basically just a bunch of CRUD based pages.

Another shallow comparison is that LiveView isn't meant to compete with modern progressive SPAs. While it can update the DOM with data from the server and is very good at doing that, it has limitations such as no offline support. Chris (the speaker in the videos) also notes that if your clients require very good latency or a very complex UI (think Google Sheets) then a JS framework will probably better suit your needs. However, if you're building out a majority of websites (CRUD type pages) that a lot of us web developers do, my personal opinion is that LiveView will be able to everything needed.

> a cometivtive open source mail (web) app

Yes, this is a big deal. So many web applications provided by companies as "cloud services" are orders of magnitude better than equivalent web applications you can run on your own damn servers.
Google probably got the terminology from Bell Labs. A "Member of Technical Staff" was for PHDs or very accomplished engineers. See https://www.quora.com/When-did-Bell-Labs-add-the-Distinguish...
>2) Can import a Fever database

It has been a while since I used Fever, but I remembered it being able to export OPML files, which most feed client should be able to import.
I saw Bowie's stage costumes at the V&A exhibition in London, they were like a child's clothes, they were so small.
I was just surprised to see in the photo that Pop appears even smaller.
Wierd. I've been using Firefox Quantum Dev Edition on MBP for a few years now and it consistently uses less CPU and RAM than Chrome, with way too many tabs, and consequently better battery life by far.

Power usage still lags behind Safari, but at least it doesn't give me the spinning beachball for 30 seconds on every other new tab after 3 hours of browsing with tons of tabs.
Except it's not a "club", which would imply a voluntary nonexclusive membership as well as the competition arising from free choice.

Rather it's more like a Homeowners Association that starts enacting overbearing rules, like say putting up a locked gate that can only be opened by bona fide residents (and not simply their guests).
The foldable ones look to bring 2x the screen size. It's like having a tablet in your pocket.

But I'm a late adopter too, so I'll wait until that tech is robust enough.

The inability to let is why we also have an insane number of distros that continue to fragment Linux. While diversity of ideas is good, it kills user adoption by anything other than techies.

The question is how to provide healthcare for rural communities, these hospitals are it. The citizens often can't afford the healthcare, can't afford to go to a doctor until it's an emergency, and now with many of these closures they can't even get that.

The easiest answer for many states is to expand Medicaid to cover a larger share of the low income population which can bring revenue to the hospitals with visits etc, but that seems to be very difficult politics for some individuals.
The thing is, I’m actually interested in why we, a community of engineers and tech people, aren’t genuinely interested in evolving the fundamental failures of our system. We might learn something from classical music’s failures which led to its musicians being mostly unable to continue to be professionals. They used this same organization building system we are using now and it led to a collapse of their entire industry. If we “peer review” our code, why don’t we “peer review” the way we build our companies and the way we bring new folks in. We mostly only pretend to care about diversity and we only care about innovation when we are comfortable. It would be great to hear about why we look to the individual interview process for faults it can’t really accept responsibility for. Don’t its fundamental failures lie in the greater system and by extension, the (even unconscious) intentions of the folks who designed it? Ibram Kendi (youngest winner of the National Book Award) recently wrote a book “How to be an Anti-racist”. In it, he details how the SAT was written and how it was specifically and consciously designed to be eugenicist. I’m not claiming that’s the case with interviews, but don’t you think we should consider better ways NOT to redline certain folks out of the hiring process?

Half-true. Thunderbird is still a Mozilla project, relying on Mozilla to own its trademarks and other legal issues, as well as for all of the infrastructure (source code hosting, issue tracking, continuous integration, etc.).

When don't we just use jack without pulse audio, most programs support it (VLC,MPV).
Hi Hamuko;

Would you be able to share a small sub-set of the episode, in particular the area where you're unable to detect the starting segment? (If not, no worries!)

There's a few issues with PySceneDetect currently that may lead to false or missed detections, but these are things that I would like to solve in the long run:

- threshold is heuristic/fixed right now, but I would like to change it to an adaptive/statistical method which can dynamically change

- single-frame events can trigger false scene changes

Thanks for your feedback, and feel free to share any other suggestions you might have.
This looks fantastic, I will definitely check it out. Thank you.
I’ve been at Amazon 10 years and this post sums up a lot about what I like about Amazon as well.

Regarding 2PTs: the big thing here is that each 2PT owns services, and has complete operational and (usually) product responsibility for those services. “You build it, you own it.” There is still org level P&L but at the director/VP level and not at the 2PT level. Also there is only one middle manager level before the executive levels (7), which has a nice dampening effect on bureaucracy.

Finally, the working backwards culture has a lot of innovation opportunity. Many large divisions started with a low level employees vision doc.
I commute to work on the train (~ 40 minutes each way) and spend a lot of time reading after work or on the weekends. I don't think I speed read, but not sure what the threshold is for that.
This is a lost battle akin to the British trying to prevent America from overtaking them.

China is about the same size as the US with 4+ times the population.

Unless the US want to keep a large proportion of mankind in poverty the reality is that a few countries (China, India, perhaps others) have the potential to overtake the US, and will overtake the US if we believe in development.
Author of the program here. You are correct, the program detects shots rather than scenes, but I didn't want to give the impression that this project was related to the existing ShotDetect program. I felt that the documentation explained this well enough, but I'm open to considering an alternative project name if anyone has a suggestion.
Yes, a small but measurable improvement. The biggest perf bump you can get is probably enabling various prefetching, but most of time you are doing a performance/privacy tradeoff (e.g. enabling DNS prefetching)
FF needs a google sandbox like the facebook one. I'm tired of sites knowing who I am, showing my picture and name and asking if I want to sign in with my google profile, when I get to their site that I've never been to before. I just hit the back button and don't browse those sites, but it's really annoying google tracking you everywhere and in your face about it.
Yes I agree, I looked up before posting this and did not find anything that's an inexpensive solution that can be used daily and unnoticeably a part of common life because of all the incidents we hear about.

The headshot is unavoidable, but given the probability I really think it would be wise to stay protected.
I on the other hand have had good experiences on servers with systems. The services system has most of the basic needs for simple applications in a common way. Compared to init.d where everyone was rolling their own script in absurd ways.
I’m pretty much the same. It’s been great for me. I’m 5’11” and in two years I’ve gone from 200lbs to 155lbs with almost no effort. I feel and look great, and with low body fat I have much more motivation to exercise as well. I find it easy to ignore hunger so it’s effortless.
Thanks, this was helpful!
From what I remember the Y (luma) component in a YUV video has more information than the other two components and it could also be extracted without the need to fully decompress the video (in mpeg compressed videos). Of course this info is more than 10 years old (I don't really do any video research any more) so I guess there should have been progress in that area.
Working for mostly smaller companies, titles haven’t really meant anything. My influence came mostly from using the other two levers in the organization - building relationships and building a reputation.

I have a lot more influence over the technical/infrastructure direction of the company I work for now as “just” a senior developer than I ever had at my last company where I was officially the Dev lead with dotted line reports.

There to get anything done I had to go through layers of red tape. Where I am now, I’ll use my own discretion on whether I should let the manager know or do everything in the Dev AWS Account (or create another account), do a proof of concept and let them know. Most of the time I either get the okay or a few tweaks or suggested.

And before I get the replies from the infrastructure gatekeepers. Yes, I’m qualified to make infrastructure decisions and I’ve been browbeaten enough across three jobs to know about compliance issues (HIPAA in our case) inside and out.
Where this has been implemented well, the limitation is essentially C-suite level, because those are the highest level and inherently management positions, however it's common for something along the lines of Principle/Fellow/Distinguished engineers (terminology differs) to be equivalent to the step down from C level. That said, while these roles don't include management, they may end up being mostly outreach rather than the individual contributions to the company codebase that a senior engineer might be doing.
> It is extremely liberating to be able to evaluate any part of your [running] program, anytime, [almost] without any preceding ceremony.

Sounds like Smalltalk.
> Aren't systemd units simple text files with no hidden magic?

Compared to something like a shell script, systemd unit files are magic because you have to know a lot about how systemd works to figure out how your config file translates into actual behavior.
> Also BEAM GC isn't some generic GC, there's tons of crazy work going on with it to work with the Actor concurrency model.

BEAM GC isn't very crazy, it (like a lot of other parts of BEAM) is delightfully simple. Each process gets it's own stack and heap, and because if immutability, any references are always to older things, so BEAM GC is based on copy collectors: copy everything that's reachable from the current stack frame, then copy and adjust the references; when you're done throw away the old heap/stack. It's a smidge more complicated because BEAM uses two generations for the collection, and has reference counted binaries that are shared among all processes and require cleanup; but all of that is pretty straightforward too. Because of the language design, there's no need for advanced GC like in other languages; but if you transpiled to other languages, their GC would work fine.
All correct. Common Lisp, the topic of this paper, was made an ANSI standard in 1994, but in a less official capacity it's many years older, and of course its lineage reaches the 1950s.

On top of that, within the Common Lisp community, one of the most important transformation happened in 2010, with the release of Quicklisp - the de-facto community standard package manager, which drasticly simplified working with Common Lisp libraries (espetially for beginners). Given all that, and the ongoing community evolution, it really matters what year is a paper about CL library ecosystem from.
Believe it or not there are email newsletters and mailing lists that people legitimately want to receive.

The domain comes with it's own shenanigans, and it's impractical to list all of them. When working with microcontrollers no-one should expect to have FTL.
If Firefox wants to beat Chrome, it has to lead on the technical front and focus on the developer communities. Developers won't wait for you to implement a feature (i.e. Filesystem API, custom scrollbar styling, etc...). Developers won't care about your political stand. When a critical feature already existed in Chrome, they will simply move on without you; while at the same time, bringing their users with them.
