Maybe it could, or maybe everything gets razed by it, getting an expensive lesson in failure.

Civility is entirely different from dialogue. Disobedience is sometimes necessary but cannot be the base of a society.

You can be non-civil and still discuss and engage with your opponent, but shouting them down is not engagement, neither are loud protests without constructive ideas that actually can work, or without actual pressure.
Lying and shooting down inconvenient research is not an acceptable tactic. That's what communists did. Putting words into mouth of your opponent only escalates stakes. What you do they can do onto you, and smaller (poorer, less in control of media or masses) will lose.

In dialog, both sides can win. Compromises led to steady victory for many movements. (Such as feminists.)
It will be interesting to see how chaotic it will be for orgs that have split horizon DNS or rely on search domains to resolve things.

I wonder how they're going to have to work with things like the Australian/NZ censorship which I believe is based on DNS?
This is a really silly comment.
In extremely focused on under ground pumped hydro energy storage using derelict mines as core infrastructure, and I think you just gave me a very big idea. Any interest in discussing this concept?
> So do you think they are just wasting R&D money and it isn’t an engine to keep the company a going concern?

Yes and no. They are trying to grow the product breadth (collaboration for example) so they can upsell enterprise businesses. That's where most of the R&D is going.

> Do you also think that the rest of the tech industry could cut their R&D and stay relevant?

Yes - easily. I've personally worked with over a hundred of them and you'd be shocked to understand how sticky software is once it's been implemented. This is the dirty little secret you never heard about when discussing software valuations.

> Servers breakdown, while we don’t have any statistics of how often Dropbox needs to replace hardware, we do know how often hard drives fail at scale from Backblaze’s frequent reports.

As I understand it, this is where Dropbox's major capital expenses are going right now. I don't have any information on where it hits the P&L and if it's calculated in the CF statement. However, having worked with similar businesses before and calculated pro formas, there is very clearly an ROI (similar to AWS, Google and Facebook all building out their own data centers).
She might not be in the US right now and given connections between her, Epstein and Prince Andrew, the UK is likely to be very interested in not having her talking about that in public. Them and a wide range of powerful people associated with Epstein.

For the same reason, Epstein's death is extremely convenient whether or not he arranged that himself is probably never going to be cleared up.

So, I'd assume she's hiding somewhere and maybe doing something clever like writing some memoirs to be locked up in a safe in case something happens to her.
Lazy loading is not unique for the web or in anyway a new idea. The web is in fact one of the last places it has appeared in.

And I did not say 100% of people should go vegan, I responded to say that an average human CAN trive on vegan diet, but it is not the one diet to rule them all in every situation.
Eight percent of all Americans are progressive activists. The relevant question is how many university students and university staff are. But the fact that 80 percent of the general population and 79 percent of those under 25 think that political correctness is a problem suggests that they are also a small minority among university students. On the other hand, among those with a post-graduate degree it is only 66 percent. Sadly the article doesn't say anything about under-graduate degrees.
Very cool, though presumably very expensive given that it uses an alloy of indium and gallium!
How different are different diff algorithms in Git?
I run Fedora on a Thinkpad X1C Gen 3. tlp[1] has been, by far, the best tool in optimising my power usage. powertop for some monitoring, as these days it recommends some less than ideal tunables, especially with regards to SATA power management ("med_power_with_dipm" vs "min_power" [2][3]).

Some modules also have blacklists that prevent certain power saving modes from being enabled. This is true for the snd-hda-intel module to prevent a well known popping sound. Since disabling the blacklist, I haven't encountered the issue however YMMV. Similarly to enable ASPM on the PCIE bus, I've had to force it via a kernel parameter.

With regards to the GPU, I noticed my Intel GPU can scale its frequency between 300mhz and 950mhz but the default minimum was set to 350mhz. Other such tweaks such as enabling frame buffer compression [4], can save you a few more watts.

While the Linux defaults does its best to be suitable across different hardware configurations, you'll have to meddle with many parameters to get it customised to your configuration, and that could bring some instability with it so exercise some caution.

Oh, and also be mindful of the apps you run. The Great Suspender for Chrome can save you some watts, cpu and memory by suspending tabs that are not in use. And switching to a light desktop such as Sway or i3 can also do wonders.

As I type this, my battery is reporting a draw of 3.1 watts, 30% battery remaining with 4:40 of operating time at the current workload.

It radiates more too. The steady state temperature of the steel plates will be the same as white paint, right?

I assume the AC has to work a little bit more during driving though.
What is the advantage of using Fargate instead of Batch for this use case?
It’s not that there is a lack of talent. I’ve seen many enormously talented developers. However, the very best won’t work for Indian salary levels

No, there is something more complicated going on. India has a space programme and nuclear weapons. They have the talented engineers to make that happen. I guarantee those engineers are not all “we are facing an issue” and “please do the needful” like everyone who has dealt with Indian IT has heard when they lack the basic competence to do the job. So where is the disconnect?

The shell can't speak HTTP either, but all OSes ship with a command line HTTP client. My point is that in 2019 JSON is such a common format _most_ people have or should have a JSON client encoder/decoder installed in their /bin, though I'm not sure any OS ships with any by default.

To be fair, I have jq installed and I have no idea how to use it.

I wasn't aware of AWS Batch. Looks like that might actually be more suitable for this use case, so thanks for mentioning it :)
I’m really quite impressed with the ESO, who is getting all the flack. They’d planned for a loss of 1GW; lost 1.9GW and had protected 95% of the network within 5 minutes. I hope everyone else realises that these networks aren’t infallible and they need to plan for very occasional outages.
How did you end up measuring the course? Completion by students who logged in at least once? Hours spent in course? Cost of course per completion?

It seems like we would want to compare what is learnedC that’s how I value. But not sure how you would test that.
Oh god. We developed the blackest tshirt in the world. So I know much more about this subject than what is possibly good for my mental health lol

Regarding VB and the MIT stuff, they are hi-tech and useful for optical applications like space telescopes.

Interestingly, the creator of Vantablack told me that there are also some export restrictions due to it's possible usefulness in stealth technology where you want to get rid of stray light.

Let me know if you have additional questions
Daesh in Iraq and Syria are or were indeed well-funded and equipped, especially after they seized most of the reserves at the Mosul branch of the central bank. But I’m a bit confused as to how they’d manage to get substantial quantities of military equipment to Nigeria. I imagine it is at the very least rather difficult and expensive to do so, so they probably wouldn’t go round sending equipment willy-nilly.
Yes, it's just the way stackblitz works: the actual route gets stolen by the stackblitz application itself.
Until Visa officials around the World wake up and smell the coffee that Degrees shouldn't matter for immigration - I will care about and be anxious about my lack of a Degree. Until MOOCs don't confer a degree - it's going to be very hard to convince me to spend time getting a Certificate from it (as opposed to watching the most interesting and important bits and skipping the rest, in the "YouTube University" style).
Just as a historical data point: for a long time blogspot was completely broken if you blocked trackers (including Google analytics). The pages simply wouldn't load beyond the placeholder "gears in a box" emblem.

My hypothesis at the time was that Google had deliberately introduced changes to GA that made it far too convenient for sites to depend on on ga.js for providing [something in the path of] actual page rendering logic. And so for a number of years any URL pointing to blogspot was as good as dead to me.

The asinine behaviour has since been fixed. I can only assume the pageview numbers with intentionally parasitic ga.js were going down and couldn't be misattributed any longer.

Couple things I’ve thought of when using the site:

- Time at level

- External hire vs internal (promotion, role change, etc)

- As others have said, number of stocks.

As it is currently, it can be very hard to tell if a salary is representative of a new offer, someone at the end of a 4 year compensation “hump” due to vesting schedule, someone approaching their next promotion/high end of salary bands. To a certain degree the current version of the site suggests overall salary bands, but it’s hard to make it actionable for a specific case.

OTOH, I totally get that more data means more identifying, so tough balance. Love the site though!

Unfortunately, I don't think degree requirements are going to go away anytime soon for immigration purposes. Just imagine the backlash in the US/EU if the voting public finds out that people without degrees can now move to their countries. Many will link his to a mass-movement of unskilled and unwanted labor as opposed to talented and hardworking individuals.
Just send the "reflection" back at the donuts connoisseur before the real reflection does and your objective has been reached. Ready made devices for exactly this purpose exist and are dirt cheap.
While we're at it, the photonic equivalent can be beaten by means of special reflective coating. One that whites out the entire photo using the received "flash". Needless to say, this is also widely available & dirt cheap.
Cute, I like it. But if you live outside the USA, then it is fair to ask these questions.
I have a background in UX before diving into programming. And the simple answer is just to talk to people and then ask in a friendly way. How you start the conversation doesn’t matter much at the start. As long as it isn’t off putting people are quite friendly.

I found it always help to explain your goal/project your working on. Starting the conversation with: “Hi I’m working on a fun project and wanted to get out and talk to some people about it. Do you have some time to help me?”

After doing this with 30 people in your social circle, slowly start reading up and improving your approach and start asking people further away from you
if a child has a fever its common language to call that "burning up".
This doesn't mean she incinerated it means the overall temperature of her body is increased beyond what it needs for a prolonged amount of time. Leave it like that and damage to organs will occur. Leave it too long and system failure will occur and the enough of the organs fail the entire body will die.

It works the earth as well. we're in the middle of a fever, leaving it like that will cause damage to organs. Leave it too long those organs (polar regions, tropical areas, ocean temps) will fail. These failures lead to chain reactions that equate to system failures. entire regions will become uninhabitable. Those on the extreme edge of survivable regions will have to leave to areas that can support them. Those that are use to living in "golden zones" are going to experience climate changes that turn those areas into very uncomfortable and potentially survivable conditions.

The language is accurate, its just not precise or pretty.

That's very sad, but I suppose I can take a twisted comfort from it: the fact that this public attitude is unlikely to change in my productive lifetime means, it's worth girding down and getting a degree. At least it's unlikely that 10 years later I'll regret the time I wasted chasing a piece (or two) of paper(s) ~6 years prior.
Working on a space programme and nuclear weapons is a "perk" on its own that can lower the salary. Maybe not for you, but for a lot of people.

It's like when people write entire programming languages for free. The job is so enjoyable that it lowers the salary to zero.

That is what I thought as well. People who pay a handsome sum for an online course are not going to let their money go to waste. Something about paying up simply ensures that you turn up and actually attend/finish a course.

You did nothing of the sort. That incident was not even relevant here, it specifically did not start the name calling from either side.

Again, partial truth.

The hyperinflation crisis of the Weimar republic was 96 years ago. Then it affected the German monetary policy until 1933, and after 1945.

In addition of Risc-V not being generally available for consumers the currently available dev boards are hilariously slow compared to ARM.

It’s bit like arm and x86 15 years ago. There is not even a contest between them. Only in the later years with the new 64bit arm cores it’s getting there, heck the latest Apple chips actually beat Intel ones in IPC.

EDIT: The emulator doesn’t have anything arm specific. It will work on anything 32bit and little-endian.
Also, 10 minute reboot time. And I thought Windows Update was bad!

Hell, why stop there? Imagine that same audio system not only activating different rooms as you move through them, but also adding the appropriate delays to each audio channel to make sure they arrive at your ears in sync. That'd be pretty neat.

In my opinion, the main difference between the two from a developer's perspective is this;

You can't grep for dynamic type errors.
You can grep for a cast to see where you've made a mistake and find a way to do it without a cast. This of course goes for the named casts in C++. It is harder to grep for casts in C.
