That's basically why we're doing it, and we're seeing some really good costing implications from implementing various things using Azure Functions. Not perfect, but an extremely capable system, and there are things some of our teams are doing with Durable Functions that I was completely stunned by when they explained how it all works. Microsoft have some very good technology there.

The only thing I'm sad about is that you can only host it on Azure. I'd love an open standard for function-like programming and hosting.

Of course, not everything is suitable for this model, and it certainly won't be the most cost-effective or performant way to do it for everything either.
> he best managers understand this and will give you leeway, but this is not a sustainable, repeatable thing. It lives and dies on one relationship.

The GP mentioned this in the context of sexism being a "tractable problem", that means it's a problem that can be solved, as opposed to an intractable problem.

It can be inferred that they're proposing a mechanism by which sexism can be eradicated, not just marginally improved. Otherwise it wouldn't be a tractable problem.

Perhaps I'm still misreading it, but I can't see how it can be understood differently, and how I'd be misrepresenting it by rephrasing the idea as "the notion that fathers who have daughters can't be sexist towards women".

If we suppose that fathers only became marginally less sexists towards women by having a daughter, then it follows that sexism really isn't a tractable problem. Even if we were to follow the GP's logic that sexism or racism can be narrowly understood as the sort of discrimination that would cause discrimination by a jury.

What I'm pointing out is that even if we follow that argument that's taking a very narrow view of those -isms.
I just the other day had to step in to deal with a race condition in a frontend caused by improperly handling async API requests.

If they raise prices, someone else could locally open up a new coworking space with lower prices. The lack of advantage to costumers, which is your first point, means that customers go to the cheaper place.

So the economics of scale (supposed that is a relevant factor) could provide WeWork with a higher profit margin, but to become dominant, they have to take a cut to this margin.
I'm very sorry that you go through hard times but when you take a look at the homelessness statistics you would understand men are having it in comparison statistically speaking much harder.
>most of the oil will stay there, where it is. In the ground!

Of course it will, because we have mroe than enough oil to burn to put out enough CO2 to take us to +20 deg warming or more. So unless we get cheap CCS (carbon capture and storage) it's a good thing that most of the oil stays in the ground.
> you do need to have some sort of schedule where you are launching new features every X weeks. So it's important to know how long your features will take, so you can have a constant cadence of updates.

The only way you can have new features every X weeks, is if those features take no more than X weeks to develop. You can estimate a new feature to take 2X to complete, but that would still mean it can't be released "in time".

Of course, you might still want to have a regular cadence of feature announcements, or at least be able to plan them in advance. But I feel like the best way to do that is to decouple finishing a feature from releasing it.

Estimates are primarily useful in deciding what tasks to pick up first. Luckily, that usually needn't be that exact - you don't need to know to the hour how long some development is going to take, just how much faster one thing will roughly be compared to the other. A manager can then decide whether it's worth it to risk picking up a larger task that might provide substantially more benefit than the smaller task.
Tape (LTO-7) costs 3 times less than the cheapest HDDs, so the prices are not comparable at all.

To recover the drive + SAS HBA card costs, the movie collection must be larger than about 75 TB if you store double copies or larger than about 50 TB if you store triple copies.

If you store a single copy of any digital medium, the chances to not lose anything after many years are negligible.
> They started using the number. They thought it was their own. I can't understand how people can be so stupid. I can't understand that.

Another possibility is that people deliberately used the number knowing that it was fake (or knowing that it belonged to someone else). Why? I can't imagine many reasons:

- distrust of this weird new Social Security program that was started just 3 years earlier, so they gave this fake number to avoid participating in this fraud or scam

- distrust of the federal government, esp. since the U.S. was still in The Great Depression and some people felt that Roosevelt was turning the U.S. into a socialist state, hence use of a fake number to avoid creating a socialist state

- people who had restarted their lives under a new identity (which was easy to do in an era where jobs paid cash and nobody needed real ID) -- to escape a spouse, the police, a criminal past -- would not want to get an SSN under their original name

- people living in the U.S. illegally were being asked by their employers for their SSNs, so they found this handy number to use

- people who were eligible for a genuine SSN but hadn't bothered to get one were being asked by their employers, so they gave the fake one
I see they've given up on any semblance of ergonomics. Each idea listed in this article seems less ergonomic than the previous. Glass panel. It even sounds painful. Clearly these patents and their resulting products are aimed at laypersons who do casual computing rather than power users.

Cloudflare is doing a great job improving privacy and security on the Internet. Not only they helped websites move to HTTPS, now they also do that on the client side too! Soon, 99% of the traffic on the Internet will be encrypted. Except, of course, for the traffic that goes through Cloudflare data centers, but that's a small price to pay for privacy and security.

Gosh I hope this is sarcasm.
It is. Confirmed by generating a link on the app which gives credit and it's the same format.
I believe you, but my own experience could not be more different.

I dual boot constantly and sometimes I forget what OS I am running. Until I see one clock instead of the other.

Of course there are some specific tasks that are more suited to one OS over the other (a reason for restarting), but things like using the browser, the text editor, VPNs, Kodi, epub readers, Anki, etc, they basically work the same.

So, for some games-> Windows, for CLI -> Linux, for anything else, any of them.

what do you mean by "think" ? I understand that mishaps can happen when numbers are canceled and moved to another person, but the old number is still registered in certain places, but why would someone want someone's else number ?
I forgot to mention that I referred to the prices for non-compressed tape storage, i.e. counting LTO-7 tapes as 6 TB tapes. Compression does not work for movies and even for compressible data I disable the tape compression and I use better compression algorithms on the computer.
A common critique in all behavioral science is that most of it can be distilled down into telling the better story through weak or nonexistent evidence, and thus the only "real" way to conduct science into behavior is to use more hard evidence like genetics, neuroscience or even more concrete such as fossil records.

The problem is that the probability to finding a "gaming" gene, one that only exist or be expressed in males, would be very unlikely.

Robert Sapolsky has a good description of this in his lecture series "Human Behavioral Biology" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA&list=PL848F2368C...).

MOOC drop out rates are a fiction.

For example, I do some teaching and occasionally I will "enroll" in 5+ MOOCs (i.e. every MOOC covering the same or ismilar subject) because I want to see how each of them presents a particular tiny concept - because I can't see what is in their lecture 4 slides 10-12 without "enrolling" and subsequently "dropping out".
Right. Only in the USA actually. Where an Ambulance costs ~2,5K for ALS and ~1,5K for BLS. The stupidity of this is crazy. I once had a bike crash in SF (dude opened the door on me) and someone called the ambulance. Not sure who. But I could walk so no use getting into the ambulance. The cop gave me a free ride down to a health clinic to get stitches. That didn't stop the city of SF sending me a bill for $400 for the ambulance. Bunch of thieves!

This problem doesn't exist in countries where there is public healthcare like in Australia, Canada and I believe most countries in Europe.

You are thinking with a 2019 point of view, this was effectivly 1938, people were less aware of consequences of their actions (as history of that dark period shown accross the World ...). Also,probably at that time people thought that a real SSN would shine more than 000-00-0000, as any other number could potentially be a "real" number from an unkown person ...

It's interesting to see how Joel's stance on VC-backed businesses seems to have changed over the years. I think he was clearly against it in his FogCreek/FogBugz days, but now seems to have come round to the idea.

I wonder if he regrets not taking VC money earlier - maybe then FogBugz would be the new jira, and FogCreek would be as big as Atlassian.
I always talk them into making an ordering, and it's not difficult. If my managers fail they escalate to it to me. It usually goes something like this:

Me: You need to prioritize the items.
PO: I cannot, they're all important.
Me: If you do not, we will make them by the order we want,
possibly coin flip, but probably in order from easiest to hardest.
PO: Fair enough, you get them all done anyway.
Me: That is not a given and you know that, but I will send you an
email for confirmation that any of them can be dropped to
meet the deadline, okay?
PO: Hold on, can I at least pick a subset that you know will be done?
Me: Sure, and don't stop until you have roughly 3 equally sized,
by estimate, categories: Must-have, Ought-to-have, Nice-to-have.

By the time we're heading into the "Ought-to-have" I tell them to do it again. I fear that I some day might be in a position where I do not have the weight to do this, but as it stands right now, not a single developer produce a line of code if someone waltzes in and tries to decide both scope and deadline.
Thinner doesn't necessarily mean much lighter though.

If weight is an issue then swapping aluminium for plastic would be more effective. But then it would be function over form.

> The only way you can have new features every X weeks, is if those features take no more than X weeks to develop.

You can still have releases every 2 weeks, where each feature takes 1-2 months, if you have multiple small teams each working on a different feature at the same time. That is how we do it.

But of course, it's typical that each feature takes an extra 1-2 weeks of development time and many times other devs are pulled off their own projects to help out, so then those other projects are even more delayed.

I find this comment to be in poor taste, because I don't believe the matter has anything to do with intelligence.

1970s in USA were a drastically different time than today. Information warfare did not really exist in a meaningful sense for the common person in terms of threats that they would have to consider realistically. Information was even hard to come by for the average person in the country back then.

Even ignoring those facts, if you're comparing that to email addresses being known or used today, I think that is also a very uninformed view of the world. The vast majority of the country even today does not understand what information about them is considered confidential, and what is not. I personally see this even among engineers from what are considered top schools today.

This is not a matter of intelligence. It is a matter of being informed. I don't believe that anyone is inherently stupid for being misinformed, especially in an age where information is used for warfare.
I too care about the weight and size as I travel with my laptop everywhere, literally everywhere.

But I don't like having to carry extra connectors/adaptors (esp SD Card and ethernet port).

In my backpack, the screen presses on the keyboard and is leaving a mark on the screen.

A simple 1 meter fall on soft carpeted floor can dent its corners and cause the lid to not close fully flush.

These damages are not worth the few millimeter thinness or few grams of weight needed for added structural strength.

These are things I wish they addressed while pursuing thinner/lighter MacBook Pros.
I imagine that this would be a good way to find some of the best reverse-engineers in the world :)
"You" (plural) in the USA have managed to make healthcare the means for the richer to become richest, and paying them with your blood. It goes beyond me how politicians with lobbyists (big pharma etc) allowed this to happen, don't send them all to hell where they belong, and reclaim your lives and your health.

And the fun fact is that US citizens call socialism "evil" while you sacrifice your health and/or your livelihood over a broken leg. I got a completely different definition what "evil" is, and oh btw I'm serving capitalism in EU (so don't start crying out "socialiiiiiist!!").
I'm not so sure. I think this is something that's happening right under our noses -- it's just easy to miss it if you're not looking at the right thing.

Software engineers aren't being commoditized by being replaced by machines that write software. They're being commoditized by their own frameworks, libraries and tools.

Take the game industry as an example. Twenty years ago, your game company needed a big team of software engineers employed to write a game engine with advanced graphics capabilities (let's assume you want advanced graphics). Today, a single developer can just download Unity or Unreal Engine and have at least the technology available to them immediately (art is different but in many ways similar; automation and process improvements are coming for those jobs too, I'm sure).

So you don't need the same number of engineers for the same result. Sure, you have a big team of engineers employed at Unity Technologies or Epic Games, but that's now a shared resource. That employment is no longer duplicated at the companies that decide to use those engines.

Another example is the push for 'DevOps' and 'Cloud'. Think of all those system administrator jobs and IT departments being made smaller because now you can just spin up a server on AWS or have your CI infrastructure managed by BitBucket.

I usually stay at Marriotts, and the 'business centres' are often woeful - if not 'closed for renovation'. Not only that, but renting a meeting room for a couple of hours costs the same as a Spaces membership for a month.
Firstly, you're talking about CS which is one of few games where voice chat is more of the norm. Whats funny is that I still to this day get stuck in pugs with half the team not having mics. For console games like COD, most causal games I played few people had mics. But what we are talking about is competitive games more or less which does generally get more attention than Viva Piñata or something like that. And, if you look at something like LoL or Dota2 voice chat is either non-existent or no one uses it. I have ran into so few people using their mics in Dota2 and that is a competitive game. Instead people ping or type in chat.

When I played MMORPGs, which I think we can all agree are pretty popular, very few people had mics. For WoW people would connect to Vent but most didn't have a mic. It was useful for raids, but most of the time communication was via text chat. When playing MapleStory I would sit on Vent with my friends who often played on entirely different servers and no one on that game actually used Vent or TS regularly as part of their daily grind, it was almost exclusively chat.

So, I think the assertion that voice chat is a minority is probably correct. And like you said Discord is beyond a voice chat for gaming. I am in plenty of Discord channels and I have never once entered into a voice chat with anyone. It's a community chat room that happens to offer a voice chat option. Plenty of people use voice chat while gaming, but I don't think it's by and large the majority.

Better in a very limited sense. It’s a smartphone. Nobody cares about the chips. Everyone makes the same phone: screen, battery, antenna, camera. When it dies you buy another that is mostly the same. You’re browsing the web and taking photos; why would you care about who manufactured the cpu?

Software, brand, and culture play much larger roles than a milquetoast smartphone offering. What’s this chip that customers are raving about? The only points of continually tweaking the hardware are to shorten the lifespan and remove the ability to customize and repair it with any real scale.
