I mean. I don't know what you want me to say. I'm not trying to prove that AWS UX is better than GCP or vice-versa. Perhaps GCP has features like the ones mentioned above that improve the whole developer experience, but that's not what I'm arguing here. I'm just trying to elevate the argument to another level and explain why all of them have horrible UX and it's not even worth it to compare them since the bar is so low.

I don't know what type of evidence you want me to provide. It is as simple as logging in to any of these major cloud providers' web consoles and come up with your own conclusions.
This is why it seems surprising to see an article like this in The American Conservative. I'd think those folks don't wan to give up their cars for anything.

It does mean that. Free software and open source mean different things.
I strongly disagree. Basic, systemic change is needed.

IIRC - the Model F keyboard of the old XT was one beast. I used have an XT I rescued from the trash; that thing had a solid aluminum case and weighed a ton. I love my Model M keyboards and my Unicomp - but I would love one of those older keyboards.
The biggest problem I always had with the library at my alma matter (ucla), was that thousands of square feet dedicated to books people rarely ever touched while simultaneously failing to have even proportional amount of space dedicated to desks. Furthermore, any furniture frequently doubled as people's bed away from home.
A few takeaways here:

- The line between coaching and therapy can be blurry, especially as many coaches practice therapy techniques and vice versa.

- It’s hard to find both a good therapist and a good coach.

- There is no official license for coaching, which makes it even harder to find a good coach.

I appreciate the suggestion re: providing a quick referral to a therapist if that’s the solution a user requires. Will definitely keep in mind as this expands.

Thank you for the thoughtful, candid feedback and support!
Empathy for a self-inflicted problem? Why?
Does your team share views? Do you version control then? So you wait until there is some level of acceptance or usage before sharing?
Would be interesting to have a similar estimate for AWS. My personal pet theory is that (and was already at a stock price of 1k) that around 80% came from AWS. Since I'm by no means an expert getting real numbers would be nice!
True. In my scenario I was dealing with procedurally generated UIs based off a custom color palette. In order to keep things readable, there has to be a certain level of contrast between text and background. This contrast is based off perceived brightness (lums) rather than rgb diffs.

I've also used it for LED projects, and it helps a lot with that obnoxious brighter/darker wave that you get when rotating through hues.

The reason I brought it up in this thread in particular is because it's about HSV. Anytime I've dealt with HSV, it's because there's some hue rotation going on. I think HS Lum creates a more intuitive color rotation aesthetic for things with less saturation. It maintains shading rather than colorfulness.
In the US, the right to use prisoners for slave labor is enshrined in the Constitution.
So my realization after the years have been these:

* Cloud margin is very high, using IBM Orale and so on, aka the "old guards" (as said by Andy Jassy: my favorite tech executive by a big margin, got to mention this as a fan boy), as the comparison.

* Cloud is the foundation of the next generation of developer platform, being irrelevant in this market is detrimental to Google. Although that was not as obvious to Google as Browser. But the metaphor is obvious now.

* Cloud is enterprise oriented, an area that both Amazon and Google were vastly behind Microsoft at 2006. Microsoft then already had a top-tier relationship with enterprise customers. Amazon was way earlier in realizing that, but Google was at least maybe 5 years behind. Diane Green's joining symbolizes the inception of the changing perception, but I'd say Diane's execution is poor (Dianne seems very distracted to me, during their time in Google).
The only way it makes sense to me is this:

Apple designed the iPhone to be a pocketable one-handed companion device to a real computer.

People started using them as their only computer. The changed the design parameters enough that it made sense to offer a less pocketable device with a much larger screen.

The thesis is: maybe that market can be segmented even further, by adding an even less pocketable segment with even more screen space.
That's a really interesting design. Not sure if "World's simplest" applies or not, but surely has to be contender. Wonder how practical that is from a siege weapon perspective.
just walked across 14th today for lunch, it was beautiful. the only traffic is buses, and maybe the odd truck. there are cops posted -- because the street is so empty, it's tempting to jaywalk without looking for an oncoming bus.

as another commenter said, the drivers brought this onto themselves. i think the impact of uber driving around waiting for a ride, + booked ubers double parked waiting for the charge to arrive, adds significantly to congestion. without getting into the uber/taxi debate, you could just see (and hear the honking) how difficult it was for the buses to get through even during normal traffic.

another quiet change that happened nearby, is the closure of union square w between 14th & 17th. theres an extremely high amount of pedestrian traffic, and near the edges of the square there's intersections that would get pretty dicey. now it's much, much better. to be fair, ny drivers are decent, but there's just too much volume (and pedestrians looking down at their smartphones). i'm sure people got hit on an almost daily basis. ironically, i'm more afraid of bicyclists hitting me than cars. they simply do whatever they want.

but still, i firmly believe these changes are a huge positive overall.
This line of argument is disingenuous.

Blades are, at one level of abstraction, designed to sever fibers and occasionally other materials. A straight razor is designed for a human to use to shave hair. A nakiri is designed for a human to use to slice vegetables. An executioner sword is designed for a human to use to kill another human by decapitation.

Likewise, many firearms are designed primarily to be good for shooting other people to incapacitate or kill them. I do believe most people should be able to obtain such weapons, but I don't find it difficult to imagine why someone might think otherwise.
This is a great idea, and would make sense in many other American cities.
The thing that has confused most of the commenters here is that Google Cloud contains both GCP, which is a dumpster fire, and GSuite, which is probably very profitable.
The queries themselves. Like every day I query, “which files weren’t caught by the process?” Or “what is that employee’s id given another id?”
The Swiss take their roads seriously (I get to hear about it every night : ) ).

Other points not mentioned:

Switzerland has - effectively - no domestic car industry, so there were never any special interest groups with economic clout pushing to get rid of public transportation ala the US.

Zurich is not amenable to cars, and never will be because of how it's laid out.

The highways outside of the city are also designed in a way that makes capacity expansion extremely expensive and unfeasible. The Swiss need a way to limit or stop automobile usage growth, and heavily pushing public transportation is an effective way to do this.
It is pretty easy to get non-Luxottica frames.

Not too surprisingly, independent small batch production runs of frames end up costing a lot of money.

There are also artisan frame makers who hand make the frames. If you are going to pay $300 for some frames, mine as well get an actual work of craftsmanship.

At the end of the day, most Luxottica frames are actually far cheaper than the high end independent frames you can buy. Exceptions are the fancy branded frames, but at that point the $ is for the Gucci logo.

Online bare bones frames also exist, or just go to Costco.

A 3x-4x markup at retail is normal. For low traffic businesses, an even higher markup is needed to stay in business.

Those online stores do a lot of volume, and don't have to pay leases or for nearly as many opticians to be on staff.

> that the prices we pay for eyewear in no way reflect the actual cost of making frames and lenses.

Of course it doesn't. The price we pay for eyewear is the price we value it at. Just like literally everything else that is sold in stores that isn't a commodity good.

Doesn't help that insurance is involved. $200 a year eyeglasses allowance. Eyeglasses end up costing $200. Is anyone surprised?
This is great. Davvero impressionante. Thanks!

As an American, we can start with: The People's 4th Amendment rights trump the Government's.

I'm always bothered by the sense of entitlement inherent in governmental campaigns against encryption. A properly-executed warrant allows the government to search for evidence and seize it. It does not create an obligation for the target to tell the government where the evidence is and how to make use of it.

Also inherent in our justice system is the concept that not all criminals get to be caught and convicted. Presumption of Innocence, Blackstone's Ratio, 5th Amendment, etc.

I don't think any of us want to live in a society where every law-breaker can be caught. We all break laws. I've barely left my home for 10 minutes today and am not entirely certain I haven't broken any.
> “I think it’s extreme and there should be a compromise. Everybody pays taxes — not just the people in the buses.”

I would make the opposite argument actually. Car drivers pay the same amount of taxes despite taking up more space on the road, causing more accidents etc. It's an unfair subsidy loophole that is finally getting plugged.

Yes people pay a lot in US for Cable TV and also for health care and post secondary education. A lot less for gasoline/petrol grocery in general. IMO there is no general systemic reason for this. It is just whichever supplier came in first they decided they can extract this much money from consumers and it became norm.
London still has one of the most extensive underground railway systems in the world, as well as the most iconic buses.

Notwithstanding the nostalgia that we often associate with them, trams are not a magical method of transportation. Nothing of value is lost if you can get the same job done with trains underground and buses above. Underground railways have the additional benefit of not taking up precious urban space that could be used by e.g. bicycles. It just happens that digging tunnels is much more expensive than embedding a pair of rails in the pavement, so cities have to think harder about short-term costs vs. long-term benefits.
And yet I still don't trust Google not to "sunset" services on a whim (despite being an almost $1 trillion business) so I'd rather stick with AWS.
Maybe. But shared_ptr should only be used very sparingly. Almost all objects should be stack or unique_ptr.
>If you pay attention - full attention with your head up on the situation, and not on your music or phone conversation - you can read what cars don't notice you, which ones do and will yield, and which ones do but will aggressively move first. You adjust your speed and path to accommodate for that as best as you can, case by case.

Cannot agree more. I would go so far as to say the ability to anticipate what another party will do is a prerequisite to being a good driver/cyclist/pedestrian.
10 to 50 years ago you were right, and that's when most of the EU's and India's power plants were built. But that isn't true any more.

And how many “handouts” do the middle and upper class get via the mortgage deduction and in some states, free college funded by the poor through the lottery?

The poor are not always poor by choice. I won’t even get into poverty caused by unequal sentencing from the same crimes, official government policies with red lining, etc.
I am just curious. Is this something she could sue them over?
I get that it's on their blog, but it is extremely light on useful content. The majority of information in there is "Segment does this".
Good point! You could have engines on the front and back cars, approaching a stop could make trailing cars apply slight breaking to create separation between them when going over 'router' tracks, allowing leave the train and new cars to enter in the gaps, then back engine could accelerate gradually to unify the train before switching main power back to front car.

This would be really fun to watch in action.

Marketing studies show that people who buy SUVs are both more scared of the road, and have more doubts on their own driving skill.
Isopod is notable for allowing the fetching of remote data that can then be used to configure the kubernetes objects. Terraform and pulumi are the only other ones that allow this. Bad about isopod is that the tool does not appear to automatically delete resources in the cluster after they are deleted from the code, and instead, a delete function must be called manually. That is a conceptual weakness compared to terraform and pulumi, and also a weakness compared to `kubectl apply --prune`.
Agreed. I've started taking the M15 SBS in the last month and it would be great except the driver has to honk and weave around vehicles stopped in the bus lane on almost every block.

OK, but lots of people would disagree with you, e.g., in the context of supervised injection sites.

Suppose it were unambiguously clear from data that (1) society as a whole and each individual were better off when marijuana was legal and tightly regulated; and (2) individuals would be better off not using marijuana. Would you then vilify marijuana providers? (I generally would not, although I would hold them to a stricter moral standard than I would for sellers of products that are generally beneficial to the user.) What if we replaced assumption (2) with assumption (2')?: 80% of individuals who use marijuana are better off (say, because they use it only socially and the negative motivational effects turn out to be small), and 20% are worse off (because they abuse it).
I'm assuming this is the wider full framework release, not just the new functional/composition api?

I've been using the above for the last month and it's a far superior way of building components IMO. I've been able to reduce the amount of unneeded observer watchers and tracked properties by about 50%.

The distinction between simple raw JS objects and functions and what are Vue-tracked/computed properties makes the whole thing feel cleaner.

Typescript integration is also much better and doesn't feel like a hack like the Class component approach did.

Plus the eventual tree-shaking benefits of importing only the parts you need is great.

Sometimes you gotta burn bridges. The IT/tech world is surprisingly small, and it's possible you'll see these people again, but the trade-offs can sometimes be worth it.

Guys like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates have reputations of acting like A-holes. You're going to have to step on someone's toes to make it to the top.
I'm not a lawyer, but on the surface I don't think so. There's no slander or lying here. It's a public photo she posted. I'm not sure if this qualified as defamation either. A good layer might be able to get a nuisance settlement though.
My point is that public primary and secondary schooling seems to have been more effective (anecdotally) than private higher education. This is a strike against the idea that the government shouldn't be paying for it, in that in at least this one case the government paying for it seems to be working better than a non-government organization doing that doing so. Since educational institutions aren't going to disappear altogether, those are the alternatives.
Incorrect, at least as far as Asia is concerned. Asia continues to expand its coal power plants:

South America, fortunately, is more mountainous and countries get by with more hydroelectric power.

Countries with established gas turbine production can build gas combined cycle plants at a cheaper cost, but other countries without established aerospace industries (most countries other than Europe, and North America) would be looking at building up gas turbine production capacity largely from scratch.

Response to the comment below, my work IP is getting rate limited:

The articles definitely have a pro green energy stance, I don't deny that. But these articles' optimism is contradicted by the actions of the countries in question. They're building coal plants. The fact that the articles think this is a bad choice does not change this fact. Their claim that the region will see a decline in coal usage is speculative. Furthermore the fact that countries are continuing to build coal plants despite bank's reluctance to offer capital reinforces the fact that coal is the most accessible energy source for much of the world.

> As for turbines, most poor countries buy their turbines (of whatever type) from rich countries

Which costs more and makes them dependent on foreign countries for energy production. Hence why they choose coal.
Damn that is an ugly street. Makes me appreciate subways.
New York Declares Using the Term 'Illegal Alien' Can Result in a $250k Fine
Lots of subway systems make the drivers do this. NYC does for sure, and I think Montreal as well. I'm sure there are loads of other ones.
This is wip. I made some big strides in that direction but wasn’t able to finish it in time.
I’m curious about what their cost structure looks like. In SF building about 2.75km of a combo of bored tunnel and cut and cover tram tunnels cost $1.5 billion...
I agree... but this also doesn't strike me as significantly different than combing through somebody's past social media to find out that they drink alcohol. Or smoke pot. Or went to a Trump rally. Or contributed to a political campaign. All of which have been defended by, I'm sure, many of the same people who are up in arms about this instance of past-history investigation.
A publication, whose right to exist is literally and authoritively the 1st amendment, is arguing against it. Wtf NYT, wtf.
Yes, I love the space of regular libraries but too much of the space is devoted to old books. I like the romance and the smell, but if I can't find a place to sit what good is that?

> I've seen RRoO used tyrannically to suppress debate, and I've seen them used wisely.

I had the pleasure of dealing with an eccentric co-founder who would do exactly this. It got interesting when I starting using RRoO procedures to attempt to stop him from derailing the conversation. Eventually he would just over-rule anyone he perceived as blocking his path. Lol it was such a cluster fuck at the end.
Sorry to hear that, I have some serious health issues that while not impacting me much physically often leave me drained after work (and the meds while amazing don't help) and escaping into VR feels so much more relaxing than playing the same game in front of a screen (in part because I spend all day in front of a screen for work I think), it's hard to describe to someone who hasn't done it but after an hour in a good VR title (my favourite example been Project Cars 2) your brain accepts the VR as something close to reality.

I was playing the other day driving around le man in a thunderstorm and when I took the headset off and it was beautiful sunshine outside I was sorta surprised.

I've found using a good set of headphones really helps, the Rift S is a cracking bit of kit but the built in speakers are weak as hell (but they put a 3.5mm on the side so who cares, headphones are great).
> there were only 30 directly related deaths

A better statement would have been that "the soviet union reported 31 immediate deaths at the time".

That 30 number was highly disputed unto itself, and doesn't include fatal cancers directly caused by radiation exposure.
