Me? No. But some people seem to like to do that. And some people do seem to be genuinely very passionate about infrastructure and such. Kubernetes can be applied to a lot of different business and technological architectures, I think, and a simpler alternative could be similarly general.
Every manufacturer controls their own supply chain, and can choose what to put in or take out of their own product.

And everyone makes a choice when they purchase a product— you could say invest in a product—if they want to buy into that.

Of course it costs money to buy something different. The salient point is that there is a obvious and competitive choice before you buy, that Apple does nothing to restrict you from making that choice before you buy, and that you can switch if you feel like it, which makes it not a monopoly.

Monopoly is not defined as the lack of compatibility between two competing products. Monopoly is also not defined as having a closed ecosystem.

I think it’s fair to argue if you think it should be illegal to have closed ecosystems. Personally I strongly disagree because there are clear trade-offs involved and the market should be able to decide if it wants a closed ecosystem product offering from Vendor A or an open ecosystem offering from Vendor B.

The problem with a closed ecosystem is when it is combined with a monopolistic market. In this discussion I believed the two points have become conflated, but while Apple certainly has a walled garden, there is compelling evidence the smartphone market is highly competitive.
I don't think it's the case for the parent but the "golden handcuffs" of RSUs+bonus as a major part of total comp is a pretty real problem. I used to think the very idea of "golden handcuffs" was ridiculous but by the time you realize the depth of the mistake you've made (2-3 months) you realize that you just have to fake it for a few more review cycles and then you get leave with an extra $100k in your pocket.

It helps that places that are awful also usually can't imagine that you would want to leave. Good places, ironically, worry a lot more about employee satisfaction. Bad places typically believe that everyone is really worried that they might not get promoted/have a long career at company XYZ so are very weak at spotting employees that have checkedout. The stick they wave is usually "you won't get promoted next year if you don't play the game!"

Of course this depends a lot on how much energy the job drains from you, but if you can still learn some stuff during the day and don't feel drained when you go home, a year is not such a bad sentence to serve for a nice bump to your savings... just don't make a career out of it.

Brendan Gregg has a lot of one-liners for recording perf data, however none of them give the "record everything and analyze it later" flexibility of ETW, as far as I can tell.

Perf also lacks a powerful UI like WPA. But, perf is pretty amazing in its own ways.
Of course there is: soft => more refined and subtle, cynical => more wise to the world.
Agreed. The problem happens with convincing your clients to pay you to do so.

I have a client that I've been telling for 2+ years to upgrade from Rails 4.2.3 (and Ember 2.8), but they only now funded it. So I'm having to do 3+ years of upgrades and it's a huge headache.

And at the end of it, if I've done my job correctly, the app will look identical.
Great idea, down with captchas!

Can you do this asynchronously? It does take a long time, but I only noticed because I clicked on something and waited for something to happen. If you start PoW on page load (perhaps save success result in localstorage) then probably even 30 seconds of processing isn't bad at all.
It sounds nice to keep up. But I'm not sure if it's more efficient or not. Do you know about any study on this?

That's a good question, but I also appreciate that a company with an older Rails install took the trouble to upgrade to the latest version under development and contribute and help Rails along the way. Maybe they should have said they could have waited but if one has the developer resources, it's better to be proactive instead of waiting for an official release and all of the sudden try to upgrade and run into a lot of unforeseen issues.

> what is it that you like about Python 2?

I came from C and Pascal so from that POV Python is a rich and delicate syntactic and semantic gravy over the same basic functionality plus shell (Python was originally the shell language of the Amoeba distributed OS†).

Things that might not seem that big a deal these days were a revelation to me when I started with Python:

- The basic datatypes, list, tuple, and dict, are enough to describe so much of the tasks you need to do.

- Slice notation is so useful, and works on the left-hand side (you can assign to slices) and the elegance (you can reverse a string or list or tuple by oof = foo[::-1].)

- The simple but effective OOP model, "dunderscore" methods, monkey-patching is possible.

- How can I forget! Indentation for blocks! So crazy but it works so well.

- long ints that don't overflow! So nice.

I can go on but really it was the whole thing, the syntax, the semantics, the standard lib. But in my opinion it reach a zenith sometime between 2.4 and 2.7, and even then Python overgrew its ecological niche. (What I mean is that if your project has more than 100,000 lines of Python you're pretty much fucked, but people do that all the time these days. I once worked on a horrible old "lava-flow" enterprisey Python codebase that could have been replaced by Excel but instead employed a gang of programmers. Pure waste.)

The United States farm real estate value, a measurement of the value of all land and buildings on farms, averaged $3,140 per acre

While the average farm size has been increasing approximately two acres per farm each year since 2012, the number of farms is decreasing. Today, the average farm size is 444 acres.

I agree here! If anything, in my Rust code, I've learned that I very rarely actually need to index a string; `String::contains`, `String::starts_with`, and `String::ends_with` cover the vast majority of my use cases, and if for some reason I actually need to inspect the characters, `String::chars` will let me iterate over them.
Artificial intelligence in medicine raises legal and ethical concerns
You're missing the point. If decision makers saw it coming that Python will just break in two, they would have never allowed its use. Other "serious" programming languages rarely if ever break, and when they do, it's usually minor.

Python2 will almost certainly still remain in widespread use and it will still get security updates through alternative distribution channels. It's not that much work fixing such relatively rare issues versus migrating a major codebase.
They aren't giving away money. They are creating these coins out of thin air. The only way anyone is losing money is possibly by deflating the value of existing coins by creating more supply. That these coins are worth anything at all was sort of luck by being early in the race. The top 10 - 20 coins don't seem to change much.

These airdrops were an expectation from the start. The first coins from this organization were also airdropped and they have done other airdrops since.

I'm not a guru in this space, but I believe the idea for Stellar was to be more of a utility coin as opposed to a store of value.
Before the dreaded HN grey curtain of we-dont-like-you descends on my post... while most of the article is well written, two helpings of TRIPE in this article jumped out at me. I'd expect better from a writer for Scientific American.

The first,"the Elephant’s Foot is still melting into the base of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. If it hits ground water, it could trigger another catastrophic explosion or leach radioactive material into the water nearby residents drink."

This is ludicrous! The thing is only slightly temperature-hot. Was the writer reacting to that famous jiggly time lapse photo with the waving flashlight... that just HAPPENS to trigger everyone's molten China Syndrome fantasy? More about the photo, and apologies to anyone (like the article's silly author) who thought the photographer had died a horrible death whispering the word, "Rosebud".

https://www.quora.com/Is-the-elephants-foot-still-hot

The other piece of TRIPE is a dangerous general malaise of willful containment ignorance. Storing nuclear waste was never considered the best idea, not even in Fermi's day. It is the competent science writer's job to communicate that wringing our poor hands in despair and waiting oodle-thousands of years is not the only option.

It is safely contained within our own time frame, and IF we should desire to grind it up and render it with technology we NOW POSSESS with actual means just beyond the corner (bombarding it with fast neutrons, reaping heat energy in the process)to result in a short decay product that is a few hundred years from walk-away safe.

Now we cannot financially afford to do that on this day or the next, but that is no cause for a SCIENCE article to fail to remind us that its current dangerous state is from a lack of follow-through and not of possibility.

It's not enough to just present the truth about radiation and nuclear energy any more. Too much noise. We must push back at the ignorance and hysteria, make sure the young do not grow up steeped in superstition.

The question is, is CloudFlare caching IPFS or not?

If CloudFlare is running IPFS naked, then IPFS seems to be scaling.

If CloudFlare is caching IPFS, then it is CloudFlare saving their butts.

Can we confirm which it is?

I'm trying to chat with CloudFlare about my own P2P protocol, which I've seen handle HackerNoon's 15M monthly users (I saw about 10K concurrent users per second at peak load), to run GUN ( https://github.com/amark/gun ).

Because I do think it is important to test all these protocols out at bigger/larger scales, that certainly makes it easier to then debug and then fix problems (assuming CF isn't caching).
It's actually a bit more nuanced. Any government in any country can at any time decide that their laws apply to you (because hey, it's a government, they can do whatever they want). However, unless you are operating in that country, there is very little they can do in terms of enforcing that upon you.

Rails 6 is not a month old yet. What this describes is co-development, over the last year, of Rails 6 to ensure that it meets the needs of a big, influential user of this OSS project:

> We were able to achieve this level of stability for the upgrade because we were heavily involved with its development.

This is not representative of a traditional upgrade.
That statistic sounds highly suspect: if I inherited $5M 30 years ago and am now wort $50M, do I count as "not having inherited my wealth"?
Only if used productively. Which, assuming you built it from more or less nothing, you probably have been doing to get to that point.

Having money does not make you wealthy. Having the correct financial arrangement to consistently make more than you spend is what makes you wealthy.
I agree that it's something you shouldn't do, but that's just an opinion. Many C programmers are fine with it.

I am not sure your list demonstrates anti-competitve behaviour:

1. Did Apple ever offer a XMPP federated iMessage? Facebook offered XMPP messenger? Shall Google bear the eternal burden of keeping their products constant, and not make changes they think are better(even if they are worse overall).

2. When did we have iTunes on windows Phone either? Even Office came for Android and iOS only when the fate of Windows phone was sealed. Lots of developers didn't develop for Windows phone. Shall those be investigated too? (Yes yes, MSFT did make a youtube app, but google has full liberty to decide which platforms they want to make apps for).

4. Now MSFT even specifically tells you that Edge is a better browser in Windows during all sorts of things(while changing default browser, I think while downloading other browsers too). Also iOS will always remind you Safari is there, as it is the default browser and that can't be changed.
Exactly Face ID makes things even more dangerous in this use case that millions and millions do each day yet shouldn't.

advances made during the early middle ages, because it needs to ignore those advances in order to make its claim. The simple fact that there were many advances in the fields of engineering, metallurgy, architecture, transportation, mathematics and others

I would specifically question the argument that were "significant advances" in mathematics in the area of the former Western Empire in the early medieval period. There were advances in the Islamic lands, but Western Europe was mostly stuck with Boethius's 6th Century summaries. The Arabic/Islamic advances (and the rediscovery of much of ancient Greek mathematics) did not really spread to Western Europe until the 12th Century, when you start getting translations into Latin of mathematicians like Euclid and al-Khwarizmi.
So, you know you don't know enough to know, but you know you know enough to know other people don't know?
Agreed. I'm checking it out now too.
That's a corollary to this, for sure, particularly if there's another language that would be more appropriate. That said, the OP seemed to be moving on primarily out of annoyance. Assuming that's the case and Python is the best language for the project (keeping in mind things like "I can hire the same quality people who WANT to work in this language), I stand by my (still slightly tongue in cheek) position.

Could be. Until someone does the analysis to look at variability over decades, that could be due to natural variations.
I agree with you about the trackers, but I just assume ads=tracking. I cannot see any app marketplace saying their apps contain tracking in the main description (it's always buried in the fine print).

Fearmongering. Our current understanding of physics precludes 5G from having any effect on the human body. 5G is not ionizing: this is a matter of physical reality. And non-ionizing electromagnetic waves lacks the energy to do anything interesting to matter.

The fear is induced by calling electromagnetic waves "radiation," a scary word. If you accurately called these waves "high spectrum light", the fear would evaporate.

The pedantic scientific caution is that our model of electromagnetism may be wrong. Indeed, light may be small demons seeking to enslave us, and only coincidentally behaving in accordance with the Schrödinger equation, but this is unlikely.

And so it is just as reasonable to outlaw rain dances from subsistence farmers in Africa (Our model of cloud formation could be wrong! Who knows what effect these dances could have?), as it is to be worried about 5G.

Myself, I'm looking forward to high resolution, negligible latency VR, as well as no longer having to buy computer hardware: VM's will perform just as well as your tricked out local computer, so it won't make sense to buy computer (or even a smartphone) anymore. The smarts will live in the cloud, and you'll just need a screen, an input device, and a connection to work or game. 5G is coming, so you might as well be excited about it!
