Keep the name. Definitely keep the name. Six letter dotcom, easy to rhyme and easy to remember. Easy to brand, easy to put on things to distribute & promote.

At first glance the name seems a bit odd. That is quickly overwhelmed by the benefit of being easy to remember and being very short. It doesn't get much easier than noc sok (knock sock as someone else noted) when trying to remember the site later. Plus, this is a site for developers (for now anyway), they will appreciate the benefits of knock sock as a memory device, far outweighing the no-cs-ok vs noc-sok issue. And there's no bad connotation with noc sok (the classic ExpertSexchange issue).

For myself (a US citizen living abroad), my biggest annoyance isn't that I'm taxed on my income overseas, it's that it effectively is taxation without representation.

Even though I'm paying tax overseas, there's no US Representative who fights for my interests. I have one who fights for the interests of the residents of a district I lived in years ago, but I have no relation to that anymore. I have a US senator who fights for the interest of the state listed on my old drivers license, but none who represent me as an expat.

The US was founded precisely because those who were living overseas had no representative fighting for their rights, yet they were still taxed. The same thing is happening today. What I want isn't for this tax to stop, it's to have representation.
So do neutrinos. They're a lot easier to make.

You can get a cheap (like $10) EU-wide health insurance with wide coverage, or get a refund from your country after getting healthcare in another member country but it's quite the bureaucracy. (That's where the insurance company helps.)

Now even if paying from out of pocket, the cost is unlikely to bankrupt you. The expensive things are experimental biological therapies (e.g. new antibodies) and some cancer treatments.

As for quality, it depends, e.g. Poland has the healthcare starved for money and qualified people. That's because it's way too small bit of GDP. (I think around 5%.)
That mostly makes specialist care much slower, not the general care, and hospital workers overloaded. Cost cutting is visible everywhere.
(Only Romania and Bulgaria are more starved.)

It's still much better than US situation.

As a number, it is around 700 Euro per year per capita. And the money is supposed to increase to some 6% gradually.

2. They can't stand being near their wife, husband or kids.

3. They like making money.

4. They're genuinely passionate about whatever niche topic they picked to focus on.

TLA+ is less a programming language and more a systems modeling language. It's like writing a mathematical proof for your system where you describe each action the system takes, the invariants to describe "correctness" of the system and its state, and the TLA checker runs some kind of analysis of every possible state described by your model and that the invariants still hold true for all possible states. To me, it's like running a unit test in parallel where all possible inputs are provided concurrently.

I'm not an expert on it, but I've worked with it some to verify distributed systems at a FAANG company (with the oversight of real experts)--so it does get used there!

I have to say when I learned perl, it was the most expressive language I had used to date.

My thoughts could be very easily expressed as working code.

However, I noticed the same thing happened for other people, BUT they didn't think like I did.

Some used different ways of expressing the same thing, such as "if not" vs "unless". (although I do like unless)

When I learned python I thought it was clumsier. It was harder to use regular expressions, and didn't have shortcuts like:

while(<>) { $a = 1 if /abc/; }

But python seemed to add the right amount of structure. Similar code came from different developers.

Also, trading (it now seems) unnecessary syntax items like braces and semicolons for syntactic indenting has made the language much more compact on the screen and therefore more is readable at a glance.

You don’t need webassembly. We already have typed arrays to represent binary data and do fast slices.

That’s essentially what flatbuffers is. Slightly larger than protobuf but insanely fast to parse since it doesn’t need to scan the whole file. It’s both memory and CPU efficient. Netflix uses it in their app because TVs can be low powered devices.

That’s why Netflix feels so much lighter than amazon, hbo or Hulu. They all freeze my Vizio TV but Netflix is smooth.

Before he passed away in the early 2000s, Peter Jennings did a really good documentary on UFOs called Seeing is Believing.

It's one of the most comprehensive and least weird/edge/conspiracy documentaries for its time and it's still interesting today. He goes into how pilots saw many unidentified objects going back several decades.

I think there are a lot of people who acknowledged these sightings do exist, but there has to be some explanation; some natural phenomenon we haven't identified and discovered.
The answer to your question is that it depends on how big the discount the core team is willing to take to do so.

They will usually need to take a discount because as a buyer the risk increases if the whole core team is bailing. Which makes sense. In and of itself there is more than a hint of information arbitrage on part of the seller if everyone is cashing out and moving on.
To be fair, k8s imposes a large complexity load. So what it gives you has got to be worth the time your developers/devops/sysops will spend learning to work with it.

yup, i noticed that. things are changing. however, i was arguing about the reason why the practice started. and i still strongly doubt that racism is the one. not that there aren't racist germans, but because with a few exceptions in germany a picture doesn't tell anything more about race that a name wouldn't already tell.

if i were to speculate for the real reason then it is whether the applicant looks presentable. german office culture is rather uptight. it is also likely that it started on the candidate side, and that people realized that including a picture would make them stand out more.

One of the biggest reasons I detest stack overflow.

I would see really interesting questions shut down with:

"this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion."

I wondered why they couldn't be inclusive and possibly just move the questions elsewhere but let them live.
General Relativity admits general curved vacuum metrics (vacuum meaning: no matter anywhere), and many of them are useful theoretical approximations to real astrophysical systems. Famous ones include the Schwarzschild and Kerr metrics (both of which have T^{\mu\nu} = 0, where T is the stress-energy tensor), de Sitter and anti-de Sitter space, and Minkowski space. Useful ones include vacuum pp-waves, used in studying gravitational radiation from the perspective of an observer at large distance from the source. There's even the Sexl ultraboost, which can approximate ultrarelativistic motion between a black hole and a low-mass observer.

These are usually probed by adding test masses of some sort, letting them evolve along available trajectories. Some such test masses are pointlike, neutral, and nearly massless; others are some sort of classical or quantum field. In most cases, the goal is to keep T^{\mu\nu} negligible.

One can alternatively be lead by the stress-energy tensor, and may be tempted to call T^{\mu\nu} the matter tensor in that case. One typically chooses some vacuum background -- Minkowski space, usually, but any background can be used -- and then uses perturbation theory to capture how the chosen matter alters that background curvature. This is very common in cosmology.

> Except for the cosmological constant, but that's different

No, it's not different; one has flexibility to move the cosmological constant into the RHS for calculational convenience without having to change its interpretation as part of the background curvature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambdavacuum_solution

That's another dark pattern. It's not like they don't know what the taxes and the fees are. They have the system that has exact amount of fees for every zip code in the US.

TMobile gets it right - their price is final, what you see is what you pay.

I disagree that metrics helped Apple scale, but we’d have to wade in to a semantic debate to settle this.

When you have a killer idea, scaling is obvious; just do more. More people, more machines, more materials, etc. You don’t need a number to tell you how much more to scale, because you always want the max anyways. Tim Cook was told there weren’t enough CNC machines in the world to manufacture the unibody MacBook. So he bought the company that makes CNC machines. What’s the point of metrics when you can shift the entire world to meet your needs? Great things are like that.

Metrics are for mediocre products and services. We use them in banking because people fucking hate the banking system and we have to pull teeth to get customers to spend money. McDonald’s uses metrics to gauge how shitty they can make their beef without people noticing. Hollywood uses metrics to decide which movie franchise to reboot or make a sequel of. Metrics are a sign that you are done innovating and you are squeezing the sponge before someone else’s innovation dethrones yours.
I don't think fingerprints are the same at all. While still having privacy implications, fingerprints to match against broadcast content aren't uploading your family photo or caps from your home movie if that's what you're showing on screen.
How the Navy tracked a fleet of UFOs over the course of six days
The USS Nimitz tracked these UFO with AN/SPS-48E 3-D air search radar, AN/SPS-49(V)5 2-D air search radar AN/SPQ-9B target acquisition radar, while the USS Princeton had even more advanced multifunction passive radar systems including the Aegis SPY-1B radar. Additionally, an E-2C Hawkeye plane in the area confirmed radar returns from these objects. Two F18 Super Hornets were tasked by the Nimitz with interception. Each jet had individual advanced AESA radar onboard and the information from these 2 systems was sent back to the Nimitz in real time. Each jet was also equipped with an Raytheon ATFLIR camera pod integrated into the gun sight tracking system and heads up display. This system is a single pod that combines mid-wave infrared targeting and navigation FLIRs, an electro-optical, or visual light, sensor, a laser rangefinder and target designator, and a laser spot-tracker. It can locate and designate targets day or night at ranges exceeding 40 nautical miles and altitudes surpassing 50,000 feet. Raytheon is so proud of these system's ability to a capture UFO's that they are now using this fact in their marketing!

https://www.raytheon.com/news/feature/uap_atflir

The UFO's were seen in both infrared and high definition video modes (note, the reason that the videos are so grainy is that they are copies of the original which are much clearer according to Navy witnesses). Now that we covered cameras, lasers and radar, next comes sonar. While we don't know the exact ship which had sonar returns testimony by USS Princeton radar operator Gary Vorhees stated he later confirmed from a Navy sonar operator in the area that day that a craft was moving faster than 70 knots underwater, roughly two times the speed of nuclear subs. Last but not least, we come to the people who saw these craft with their actual eyes, including the many pilots in the fighter jets and the trained naval observers and flight deck operators aboard the Nimitz.

For context: Around mid November 2004 US airspace was invaded by a fleet of unknown craft displaying sophisticated technology and maneuvering that, as far as the general public knows, can not be explain by conventional physics. At least one of these objects had no wings, not jet wash, no rotor wash, no visible means of propulsion, dropped from the edge of space to underwater in the blink of an eye, and then out ran some of the most capable pilots and jets in the US arsenal.

"Socialized medicine is great for simple checkups, but breaks down as you get older and need major surgery"

That's a very odd statement - at least in the US - because health care for the elderly is paid for through Medicare. It's done that way because the elderly are more-or-less uninsurable due to the high costs of providing care. In other words, the US's free-market-style health care only works for the elderly because it's socialized.
This was a weird and awesome tale from the old days. Thanks for posting it!
TLA+ allows you to encode your system as a state machine, define invariants that must always be true, and the checker will explore your state machine and verify that the invariants are always true.

An example would be encoding a distributed locking system, with an invariant saying "no lock is owned by more than 1 node at a time". You would encode all of the locking and unlocking behavior in your state machine, and then the checker would verify it.
You can pick that up pretty easily and most do when they start interviewing for BigCorp jobs.
