So the first ones used pager networks, the next generation used cellular.

The push service was quite good IMHO. Every carrier that supported BlackBerry Internet Service had a leased line or VPN to the RIM NOCs. The phones would connect to BIS servers at the carrier which then communicated over these backhauls to RIM. Because it was all so deeply integrated in the carriers network (I believe the BIS servers acted as a Gateway GPRS Support Node), the BIS servers knew exactly where on the network each phone was, so they could send essentially a UDP packet directly to the device, which was listening on a particular port. No long standing TCP connections, and of course if the device didn't acknowledge messages, they were queued at RIM for when the device reentered coverage.

Email was provided by a server side process that opened MAPI (the original exchange RPC protocol) connections to exchange mailboxes and asked to be pinged if there were changes in mailboxes. When that happened, the BES server would pull the changes, package them, forward them to the RIM NOC over the proprietary SRP protocol, which would locate the right carrier, send the packet over the backhaul, and then from the carrier it would make its way to the phone.

> He filled thousands of human-free negatives with land he knew the Miwok had tended for at least four thousand years. And he knew that the Miwok had been forcibly evicted from Yosemite Valley, as other natives would later be from national parks yet to be created, all in the putative interest of protecting nature from human disturbance.

The history of the conservation movement is rich white people screwing over poor brown people due to romantic notions of wilderness.

Lest we think it is in the past, look at the current conservation movement and endangered species. If you look at the land animals most people want to save, these are mostly in areas where a lot of poor brown people live. The brown people are the ones who have their development curtailed and have to live with lions killing their cattle, elephants trampling their crops, etc.

There's no evidence MCAS upset looks exactly like runaway trim in every case, most cases, some cases, or these specific cases. This is a supposition made only by Boeing, and repeated by others. What has since been demonstrated is it's possible for MCAS upset to result in a mistrim significant enough the pilots can't recover in time if they're at a low enough altitude.

So I reject the categorical claim they could have recovered with the flip of a switch.

Further to that point, the preliminary report on ET302 shows they did turn stabilizer trim switches to cutoff, and yet they couldn't move trim manually, likely due to mistrim forces. The logical reason why they turned stabilizer trim back on is it was the only way to get electric motor assisted trim to try and get out of the mistrim. But MCAS immediately triggered again resulting in greater than 20 degrees nose down, and negative G forces by the pilots - it was impossible to recover from that. The final act of MCAS, had it been a human pilot, for sure would be considered a saboteur, it's that ridiculous of a reaction under any circumstance, even had the airplane angle of attack been great enough to trigger MCAS it was a gross overreaction, at low altitude, commanding a path steeply below the horizon, and incompatible with survival.

Agreed. I listen to SCOTUS oral arguments all the time on Oyez!
The current financial system worldwide looks quite suspect right now, negative interest rates could soon become a new norm in the EU even officially in retail. Most importantly political leaders in the US(and EU) have scaled up their massive money-printing schemes designed to keep their banking-financial overlords in business.

With that in mind, the very last thing the EU and US authorities want is for the people who (mostly unwittingly) underpin the actual value to have an Exit from this type of controlled use of inflation into an alternative currency backed by say gold and other hard to inflate commodities, because allowing any significant amount of that.. (remember the true impact is inverse of the real fractional-reserve in play) would lead to a collapse in the power of the existing political-financial hegemony.
If you don't have prior experience in networking or permissions, it will take some time for you to understand the concepts to properly secure a standalone server. The same concept applies to AWS. You are paying for the hardware, not someone to hold your hand through the process.

And if you can't figure security out by yourself, pay someone to hold your hand.

> No, this does completely get it right. Enterprises thought they needed all the control and security features of Blackberry until the iPhone came along and made the UX gap unsustainable. Enterprises thought they needed on-premise hosting of Exchange, Office and SharePoint instances under their control for email and productivity, until GSuite came up with a better, less configurable user experience based on consumer features that is making inroads in the market and generally works better for users. Slack is another proof point - the "consumerization of IT" trend in general.

O365 far exceed Gsuites market share and is generally better for users because most companies users still use the Outlook desktop client.

MS Teams exceeds Slacks market share. Team instant communication is a minor blip in the overall market for Enterprise software.

> Notice how all of these are associated with crappier UX.

Having configuration that adopts to compliance and regulation is UX. The U in the UX is just not the end user but the admin user.

Consumerization of IT is absolutely a thing, but not for this is for productivity apps, not enterprise grade apps - you're conflating the two.

To pretend like all of the features demanded by enterprise middle and upper management is irrelevant and unthoughtful, as another comment said, is just "typical SV think". UX to the end user is certainly becoming much more relevant in the enterprise space, it's not as black and white as you think.

(note - i'm a former SAP employee and I've certainly seen my fair share of shit)
True, the development groups weren't too keen on Unix. They wanted to choose the minicomputer and operating system from those commercially available and get on with developing applications without the risks and effort of using an unproven operating system. But Research always wanted to demonstrate that they were contributing to the company, so eventually Unix had to be adopted.

Use by development groups for Western Electric products was different from the in-house Unix systems run by the Bell Labs data center that were used as time shared systems for email, general computing, and document production using nroff and memo macros. Moving away from all upper case made line printers less efficient, but about that time laser phototypesetting became available.
Agreed. Not to mention, from what I understand they just borrowed the OO system from Python, so it shouldn't be that foreign to most people.
An unfortunate side effect of the way HAM licenses are handled worldwide is that each government has a handy list of almost every citizen with enough knowledge and experience to build, service and use radio stations - complete with addresses and a partial inventory of equipment in circulation. It makes confiscating radio equipment and detaining operators much, much easier.

The primary threat for payment processors and fiat currency is real cryptocurrency.

Libra is a fake cryptocurrency that the payment processors and governments hoped would help to hold off the cryptocurrencies for a few extra years. It would have allowed the payment processors to continue to profit from transactions and made it practical for governments to control payments and wallets.

They are probably pulling out for two reasons. One, having all of the payment processors involved makes it too obvious that it's not actually a cryptocurrency. Two, it's dead in the water, and to even have a slight hope of reviving it, that association with payment processors needs to go away. If they are able to resurrect it, expect the companies to come back down the line.
> I think your suggestion is rather dangerous and implies some arbitrary threshold where we become capable of studying something.

The threshold isn't so much about when we become capable of "studying something" but more about when we become capable of claiming something.

In that particular case, we have so many things at stakes, it becomes really tough to find anything useful. How can you know you're not measuring the correlation between weather and crime? Day of the week and crime? Season and crime? Because season and weather are related, you can't just “control for both” (unfortunately, many people will do it no matter what…). What if air pressure had an impact on crime? It's somehow correlated to air pollution so you could mistake it for an influence of pollution itself.

When just asking the question reveals that the answer would need fancy statistics (some not being invented yet, AFAIK, or at least not mainstream). If you realize that, you should just find another problem, or maybe rescope your problem. If you don't realize that, and still go on with your regular methodology, your results are doomed from the start, and you aren't really doing more science than youtubers attempting to find the recipe for perpetual motion. [I'm not talking about this specific paper here, just answering about your remarks about threshold].

When it comes to this paper, I would say that the level of accuracy of their published result (“0.14% increase”) is dubious. In a lab with controlled conditions, such figures aren't that easy to get, in a real world observation of human behavior, it's looks fishy.
I'd calculate some ranking, every X seconds, keep it in a cache of some sort, and page from that. They do seem to persist it permanently too, because you can go view the top list on a given day.

Also notice new works like traditional cursor paging, while the front/main thread ranks like you describe.

The hiding feature is another interesting one to think about w.r.t. paging.

Exceptions – and Why Odin Will Never Have Them (2018)
8x is close to the top end, somewhere between 3x and 10x depending on a number of factors, mostly scale.

For the record I factor in:

- Hardware depreciation (36mo)
- Power
- People
- DC rent + power
- software licences / support

for on premise.

What we see now is that compute is dropping in price for on prem every year and density is improving. AMD Rome brings incredibly bang for your buck when buying at significant scale.

But it's not comparing Apples with Apples.

It's virtually impossible to accurately factor in the opportunity cost of doing all this yourself but you can potentially hire a bunch of engineers with the savings of going on prem, ymmv

You can never ever recreate the developer experience on prem regardless of your scale, on you can tell if on prem is good enough

It's difficult to put a value on being to pay as you go or suddenly be serving workloads out of a geo close to your users in Cloud where on prem there is always a lead time

Finally whilst the developer experience is better suddenly having to deal with new challenges takes a while to adjust in Cloud, outages out of your control, non predictable performance, poor support, no access to your hardware

TLDR: Cost is hard to define and isn't a zero sum game

I hope this doesn't cause Facebook to give up on Libra.

I personally have no desire to own Libra. But traditional bank accounts kind of suck as a product and I would like to see more tech companies competing with them.

The problems with bank accounts:

1. They charge you fees for things

2. They try to upsell me stupid financial products

3. They are not easy to use in other countries

4. Typing in my credit card number sucks

5. Typing in my credit card number isn't secure

None of that has really gotten any better in the past ten years. It feels like banks have mostly given up on making their product better. Instead of improving their product, they just buy more expensive retail locations.

I would probably rather use a financial product produced by Google, Microsoft, or Amazon than a financial product produced by Facebook. I just don't want the rules to end up being, big tech companies are not permitted to compete with crappy banks.
Again this goes down to usability vs features.

Word has a lot of features and, for certain publishing needs, these are important.

But what gsuite adds is usability. You no longer need shared drives. You no longer need to email docs around, you no longer need Spec_new_v3_new.doc.

I don't even need my computer any more, I can use anyone's.

I also don't need the immense amount of publishing and formatting options word provides. What I need to do is create documents that can be shared and collaborated on easily.
This is amazing. It would be great to have a README section. I am bookmarking this as my template/boilerplate for starting up new Django projects :)

I worry we are losing our competitiveness.
Call me cynical, but the whole idea of Libra would be disruptive to the existing international payment businesses, such as the ones that just exited. So the only reason for them to join in the first place would be to basically "know your enemy" - make certain you get the first-person intel on the project's vitals and to know what to expect. Now that a couple of governments made it clear that there would be roadblocks in deploying Libra according to the original roadmap, it is no longer seen as a threat, so anyone without a direct monetization interest (Facebook itself?) is going to leave.
The centralisation of Libra made it easy to kill. Bitcoin can be hampered but not outright killed, at least not over night. A death by a thousand cuts is the most likely solution but by no means guarantees Victory.

Tableau's licensing model/architecture is fairly draconian. You can't even test it out for free without giving them public access to all the data you use to test, and you can't embed it in a web app without having a dedicated Tableau server process backing it. It's possible these constraints make sense for enormous enterprise customers, but they make it impractical for small companies.
If it involves a lot of text processing, Perl tends to be either my first choice or pretty close to it. Perl's also surprisingly fast for an interpreted scripting language (especially when it comes to text processing). I've used it pretty heavily for system automation tasks, too, and thus generally continue to do so unless there's some specific reason why I'd need to use a different language (and usually there ain't).

I've heard that Perl's also massively popular in the genetics/bioinformatics world. I'm assuming a lot of their data is in textual formats, and thus would benefit from a language that's fast at processing that data. I have no experience here, though.
It helps to have cards that are bought and topped up online, that last for a month and cost 10€ and you can ride anywhere everywhere unlimited for a month. You just need to carry the card and "tap it" on the NFC reader, and have an ID in case of inspection. Or you can use a phone to buy a "temp" card, except it causes so much trouble nobody uses it, including for reasons of bad chips in the readers that refuse to work with some phones, bad app, bad infrastructure (i.e. no 3G signal and the reader in the bus can't validate your ticket so it refuses it, but the phone app already took your money)...

Technology is great when it's thought out. If not... may the deity of choice be on your side in the bureaucratic maze of modern society intertwined with digital/electronic and paper/human-based data carriers.
I've always been kind of confused as to how the SEC has jurisdiction on this. The Telegram tokens don't appear to be a stake in the company and rather seem to be similar to a PayPal account balance. Companies can effectively issue money via coupons or redeemable certificates. In the case of coupons there is some law about requiring them to have a marked cash value.

EDIT: Though it will prompt more downvotes -- explain them when downvoting, thanks.
Traditional banking replaced by company focused on good technology, sure, that sounds good. That's not what Libra aim(ed) for though.

Libra was designed as a currency to take over the world, replacing the rest.

You do not want a for-profit company to run a global currency. Sure, let them run banks, one bank won't rule the world. But the one who holds all the money, will.
the programming community never ceases to amaze me
I'm pretty sure GP is referring to Perl 5, not the newly renamed Raku. Perl 5 had a lot of use in bioinformatics, and to my knowledge lasted quite a while after the general Perl exodus, until eventually being replaced by biopython.

If the confusion regarding Perl 5/6 never happened, it might have retained that popularity in that domain.
Yes, it is. It is, quite literally, the actual business part of WeWork.
People like easy to read languages. Many years ago, when I first got back into development, I decided to choose to learn Python or Perl. After doing some research, it seemed Perl was more widespread. But Python was easier to read, so I went that route instead(luckily). I think the popularity of Basic and Golang vs their competitors of the time help prove this point. People say that Go is only popular because of Google, but I honestly feel if Rust and Go switched owners, it would have played out the same way.
So why repeat the same failures? IMO one of the promises of cryptocurrency was a federalized system where it was owned by the people, not a single entity. No matter the marketing, if Facebook is making a cryptocurrency it will have the opportunity to abuse it and change the rules whenever they want. I'd much prefer a foundation made of a group of industry, political, and technical experts that can at least pretend to be impartial.
I understand that impression but I think it requires a different point of view. They are highly adapted in multiple quite complex ways. It's possible we're using divergent definitions of "sophisticated". I was using the one that means complex, developed, and refined for an environment rather than the definition of being tasteful, intellectually pleasing, and socially experienced.
Big IMHO disclaimer, but:

Yes! If expert code and novice code look pretty much the same, that is great!

I think rather than futzing around with the language, go frees you to think harder about the problem domain.

Better architecture, design decisions, problem domain modelling, documentation / communication, core data structure and algorithm selection, api design - these are the things that distinguish expert from novice output, not statement level expressiveness.

There's obviously a line to be drawn somewhere! - an expert can write "good" code and develop useful systems in GW Basic, but few would voluntarily choose to in 2019. Really though, the runtime limits the problems you can solve in GW Basic more than the language syntax.

I think this is why go focuses a lot on the runtime - low latency gc, concurrency, etc - at the high end of programming ability the limits on what problems you can solve in a language (without dropping down / calling out) are dictated by the power of your runtime, not language syntax.

As a data point, when I think about programmers with the most impactful software outputs (rather than talks, essays etc) it's hard to overlook the C programmers. Git could have been written in any number of languages but fairly straightforward C is enough to get the job done.

The "expert" work in git exists at a much higher level than the source code.
Forestry management decisions (not allowing enough controlled burns, underfunding manual brush clearing), unwillingness to pay for buried powerlines, poor development planning in towns on the wildland-urban interface, lax wildfire building codes, no real enforcement of defensible space rules, inability to cope with even brief power outages during high risk periods...

PG&E was holding the match, but the public & the government built the tinderbox IMO.
