Hmm which ones of FAANG pays oncall extra? At least not A.

Oncall normally means common Engineer who’s on oncall rotation.
You can reimburse the dinner I think at least
Then they must make their adverts smaller. 5-10 seconds is enough to remind me there is a soft drink brand called Coca-Cola.
Where should people go for how-to videos on repairing x? Usually I've found what I needed on youtube, and while very helpful for my need, the popularity of such videos (often long for instructional purposes) is in the hundreds or low thousands of views.
I know people who are building this as a service. It renders this new adblocking API completely helpless. Since it's just a proxy with relatively low CPU load, it's feasible e.g. Cloudflare could also build something like this.
So living in an ugly home is the only one of the three with no effect on the physical well-being of others?
Even consumer SSD's are around 10 cents per gigabyte of storage. These videos wouldn't get many views, but they don't need a ton to recoup storage costs.
Fortunately, a lot of less technical people have technical people in their immediate families and circles of friends.
Played a bit, actually pretty fun.
Indeed, Dijkstra barely ever even used a computer. I can't say I agree with trashing a Prof with deep expertise in algorithms for not knowing C while doing a favour by substituting for a colleague.
HTTP/3 with DoH cannot come fast enough.
Back then, that was pretty good advice. IE was so insecure your entire system was at risk if you were exposed to the wrong content. Google made their browser quite secure and fast, which negates some of the reasons why people used ad blockers. There are other reasons people might use them, but these days you're much, much safer on Chrome than you ever were on IE.
They announced this back in May/June - the whole 30k rules things.

Current rules list easily exceed that number. They said back in May/June that they would consider looking increasing the number of rules - they clearly haven't chosen to increase the number in the intervening time. Maybe they are waiting for more actual testing, but they're not setting themselves up for an easy time.

It's also honestly a little rich to worry about the performance impact of ad blocking given the performance impact of ads themselves.
You don't know these people, do you?

I am not aware of any bad behavior from any of them, and I am first-hand witness to good deeds done by them.

Do you have any first-hand knowledge of police misbehaving? I mean people you actually know?
In love with Ableton, totally not in love with visual programming (Max). I wish it was easier to use traditional programming with Ableton or Max.
I mean, I suppose we’ll never know what’s in his mind, but he seems suspiciously unaware of how much people would find that picture disturbing. Almost like in 2016 no one thought there was anything weird about Trump at all.

He could be a Trump supporter, but is actually trolling. He could be trolling and not be a Trump supporter. Either way, it’s impossible to accept that he didn’t know that Trump was a controversial character in 2016.
Unfortunately I watch YouTube on a smart TV. I have no way of blocking their adverts. I can only wait for skip button and skip.
Also worth considering is Oprofile: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OProfile
good fun. Glad my office keeps the price of coffee the same :P
That's my goal too.
And cert pinning in the browsers blows this out of the water, which is why I'm of two minds about it as a security feature. It seems that a lot of security these days is really about removing people's control over their own devices.
They just would have been colonized by the French or Spanish instead. Smallpox and other infectious diseases would have still been as vicious and deadly. At best some of the more warlike tribes such as the Comanche would have been able to hold effective control of the Great Plains.
I doubt storage of extremely unpopular videos is a significant cost for YT. Their revenue is ~25 billion per year. Assuming with redundancy they are paying say ~1,000$ per 8TB added per year. People are uploading 500+ Hours of video every minute. Assuming that’s mostly 30fps 4K video we are talking 50 Mbps * 60 * 500 * 1 year ~= 0.75 Billion per year or ~3.3% of revenues. (50 Mbps seems like an overly generous average.)

Not free, but cutting off say 10% of uploads to save ~0.3% is not going to help their bottom line much as they would lose out on some viral videos and future stars in the process. Plus, there are minimum view requirements before revenue sharing. Worse they could easily lose their spot as the default location for video uploads long term.
What lists are you using, which avoiding? My use of pihole constantly disrupted basic services such as Sonos. I can certainly find the URL culprits and resolve it, but I got tired of constantly doing so...
So much for my dreams of buying a used Tesla.

I've got kids, so I buy my cars used. A while back I decided to start buying Toyota products, I haven't regretted the decision.

I do hope the American manufacturers turn things around, though. Maybe with the electrics.
Headline is highly misleading.
The countries that care about regulations are typically also those who import and export most stuff. Once you're in a port you're subject to the local laws, so imposing a fine should be no legal hassle.
I agree. For example, it would also allow ships to make up time lost to rough weather by ignoring the speed limits later in the passage (which is probably not good for the environment).

I also don't know that a blanket speed limit makes sense for all ships. The longer the waterline length of a ship (for a given weight) the easier it is for it to make a given speed.

I feel like a better metric could be used, like fining vessels for trips which consume more than X tonnes of fuel for a ton of cargo where X is designed to be met only by building highly efficient ships or by existing ships operating at reduced speed.

Great argument...
Intel TDP always had the same meaning: "If your cooler can dissipate TDP, the CPU will run all-core loads at base clock speed, or a single-core loads at boost-clock speed." - Pretty sure that statement has always been true, within +- 100 MHz depending on the specific workload. The distance between base and boost clocks has just increased over the years.
I'm just going to drop coz[1] as another suggestion. Ever since their talk/paper I expected other implementations of a causal profiler but for some reason everyone is steeped in the old ways. The concept just seems like such a huge efficiency boost compared to raw flame graphs. If you have time to watch their talk, it's linked on the github readme.

They're getting garbage in with the service too - about the last dozen (at least) or more times I've had to do it you can clearly see that one of the options is what the AI thinks should be the answer, but isn't. But if you don't select it before clicking 'verify' it gives you a little 'please select all taxis' or whatever.

No AI, that's just a car, not a taxi.

But who cares, I just click anyway and feed bullshit in and in a few years it'll think everything is a taxi.
As a user I am not interested in YT's profits. However, what I am interested in is being able to access useful content. For all intents and purposes, YT has become the central place for people to upload such footage and of course the prospect of its removal is worrying to me. There are vast amounts of indispensable knowledge and information uploaded to YT that is far from being deemed as profitable to Google and as such are under risk of being permanently and irreversibly lost.
Hence my confusion at the OP's description of the situation as "a good thing".

Plus increase in labour costs due to slower transit times, longer shipping times pushing more companies to use air transport... a whole lot of unintended consequences.

I think its still best to focus our political willpower on accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. There is the obvious human health benefit of not having hundreds of millions of tiny engines exhausting fumes at the ground level of cities.
Hmmm, this will be expensive.

I wonder what the 'lost revenue' costs will add up to. Also, I surely hope there aren't any medical/transportation/other critical things depending on this.
I don't know Mr Vincent or anyone else at Google, but it seems unrealistic to assume that no one at Google could possibly believe that advertising is helping not hurting the open Web.

I think commercial routers have a different standard to be held up to than consumer phones and iot devices.

The workaround is really lame and and blocks all traffic to the data leak domains.

I don’t want to send crash data. I also don’t trust a non-open source, non-documented, non-auditable submission of data from my network to theirs. They claim it’s only crash data, but I don’t know. They can also change it at any time as they’ve lost my trust by adding data leaks to a firmware update I accepted without knowing it.

I don't know about overall quality of search, but did stack overflow do something to fall out of Google's good graces? I swear unless I specifically include stack overflow in my search query it's either near the bottom or not include at all. Instead it's a whole bunch of articles from independent websites. This is for questions I know fit the bill for stack overflow too. It's almost like Google is artificial lowering their ranking to decentralize the source of knowledge. That or stack overflow lost 70% of readership in 4 months
Child separation policy was new. Building a concrete wall across the border is new. Banning Muslims is new. Refusing a president the right to nominate judges and having the senate vote on them is new. I could go on.
MIDAS detects microcluster anomalies from an edge stream in constant time and memory, while providing theoretical guarantees about its false positive probability.

The rule of thumb for well streamlined objects in a liquid is that the power required goes up with the square of the speed. So twice the speed costs 4 times the power. This works for ships, aircraft and ground vehicles.

So it is possible that the future will be significantly slower because we are currently like to run well above the most efficient speed for things.
> More like since 2014

I do remember remarking to somebody around this time that google search had become something of a glorified grep.

You could still get things though. What I meant in this comment is that it has gotten even worse to the point that its almost unusable. It really does remind me of Microsoft of the 00’s.
They could support declarative rulesets without disabling request blocking. And the request inspection API is still live, it seems; I wonder if this means SimilarWeb and other spyware peddlers can stay in business for now.
AWS regions are independent from each-other. An outage might happen but it tends to be localized to a region or even a zone. AWS is not good at reporting errors, there were plenty of times where their dashboard was green but we had issues.

Google's network is spanning the globe. Configuration changes are more likely to affect all regions. Google is also better at reporting errors.

This is based on my own experience. YMMV
I just use the default. We have Sonos stuff too and it works without doing anything special.
It's a function of dependencies. Things are so complex with so many inter-dependent services that it's not humanly possible to understand the consequences of a single failure, let alone a cascading failure.

This is a really tough problem at scale, and it's made worse by every layer of the stack trying to become smarter, scale further, and still be simpler to manage, by simply "reusing" some other smartness elsewhere in the stack. But surprise, every single one of those moving parts is moving faster and faster, as churn and software fads and a hundred thousand SWEs need something to do. Disrupt!
Why not something like Brave which has the performance of Chromium (still better than Firefox imo) because it's a fork but probably won't make similar business decisions to Google?
So in a way, the Peter principle makes money ?
> But it's less so true in the sense that the two teams had different use cases, and simply took divergent paths. Rust took the "easier"* path that limited expressivity in favour of a simple execution model that requires a minimal runtime, which in turn enabled them to focus on more interesting static analyses. Swift took the other path.

> * This may sound like a slight against Rust, but both the Swift and Rust folks who worked on this stuff agree that what Swift did is a comically huge amount of work in pursuit of a relatively niche use case (idiomatic-feeling system apis). There's only so much time in the world, and Rust spent its time on other problems.

That I completely agree with and don't think is a slight at all: the work you outlined for Swift to have a stable ABI was a humongous (and truly novel and original) undertaking, but because it's so large it needs a real motivation and an expectation of ROI, and I don't think that ROI was / would have been there for Rust: there is little chance that a system would be shipped with Rust as the system and application libraries baseline (in the sense of libraries which are expected to be consumed essentially only by rust, which is what a rust ABI would imply), so while there are use cases for a Rust ABI they're limited (safer plugins and the like, maybe a system-provided dynamically linked stdlib).

On the other hand Swift is intended as the baseline applications language on all Apple platforms, meaning Apple has a large incentive to be able to ship and update swift-level libraries as part of their OS and other packages, in order both to reduce application bundle sizes and be able to update libraries as they go (without those libraries being limited to fairly shallow shims over C-level libraries where the actual meat would be).
Heads Up: Ntpd Changing
WP Paint – WordPress Image Editor Free Version
As 'yipbub says, the amount of negativity here is appropriate. The topic of Manifest V3 has been discussed to death over the past months, and the conclusion is, it does cripple ad and tracking blockers. The security benefits of this change are at best dubious[0], the performance argument is nonsense, and it really does look like the primary goal of this proposal is to make it impossible for browser extensions to effectively prevent users from being tracked. In the months since the initial proposal, Google has done nothing to suggest this is not their goal.

It's finally happened. I don't foresee a time where I need more CPU power in my desktop. I could use more memory, faster (and larger) SSDs, faster GPUs with more TCs (althou I'm actually good for that too mostly), more bulk data storage on platter disks but honestly I'm good for CPU for all my needs. Here's why: Most of the cores on my Ryzen 7 are idle most of the time. There are intense periods where I need to compile stuff where they max out but these are relatively short. Cup-of-coffee short. Any gaming activity seems to use no more than 8 cores max. Should I ever need more CPU I don't need an order of magnitude more, I need orders of magnitude more. Those are easily procured through AWS or Azure or some other cloud provider. Same with GPUs. I might make a training run for a NN on my desktop to hypothesis test something that I would then run for longer hours on cloud hardware. It's never going to be cost-efficient for me to scale up with any sort of ownership of the hardware. Of course I'm going to buy the new monster at some point but it will be due to hardware failure, not due to me needing the new shiny.
I don’t think anyone could be naive enough to believe ads help the open web.

> Stock options and bosses with different incentives are available at other employers as well.

Most other employers don’t have a near monopoly on the web browser market.
I use brave but some brave allowed ads seep through. I have no issue with ads; I just don't like tracking and insane JavaScript pop ups taking over the browser without the user invoking a deliberate action.
I remember black and white television, and CRT TV screens which shrunk and faded to little dots when shut off. I remember having one telephone in the house. I remember not having a computer in the house, then getting one (Sinclair ZX81). I too remember life before ATMs.

In all these cases, I was a kid - these memories are all from maybe the age of 3-4 through early teens. I never navigated adult life without understanding computers, although early adult life was without cell phone, without internet access, without email, etc.

What I do remember is watching people adjust to these things. They were a novelty, and in many cases, became expected/required for 'modern life'. I was an early adopter, so even watching people my own age was interesting because I could see people struggle with some tech or even concepts, and hearing peoples' descriptions of technology changes has been interesting (often based on rumor or just wrong).

re: being 'away' from home - in elementary school, we had a multi-week project to "plan a trip" - learning about maps, travel distance, budgeting for hotels, food, etc. We had to write away to AAA for maps and info, then plan out where we'd drive, where gas stations were, etc. That was a class project. Today, you literally get in a car and talk to a device (or the car) and say "give me directions to ...." some place halfway across the country, and you'll get accurate turn by turn directions, with live traffic updates, and you can find food/gas/shelter all while driving. Insane to think of those changes, but it's just 'normal' to my younger family.

Pretty sure it's 30 seconds before it's counted as an add view. Those un-skippable under 30 seconds are always paid.
The effect on housing you see is a unique artifact of unconstrained unregulated capitalism: Property investment firms and private, "house flippers" have been buying up old houses at market value in many US cities for over a decade. They paint them grey, put new cabinets in, a new shiny refrigerator, and put it back on the market for double the price.

The first time one of these places sells (with black mold still in the basement, asbestos in the walls, and lead paint the children's room) the value of the nearby houses goes up and everyone starts looking to sell THEIR old beat up black mold and asbestos special. It starts a boom and suddenly a whole neighborhood of 300k$ houses become 1million$ grey monstrosities.

This all drives up the cost of new construction as well (which is always a little more pricey than buying an older home) and so you get overpriced mansions that you describe as well, but the root cause is the removal of the entire "bottom" of the market. It is now almost impossible to find what Americans call a "fixer-upper" in some cities.

I'm not sure it's so much about communicating back home; I don't really stay in close touch with friends/family when I'm traveling.

(Business is a different matter. I can far better continue to work today as usual even if I'm on the other side of the planet than I could have in the next city a few decades ago.)

It's more that apps (maps, airlines, tripadvisor, restaurant/hotel sites, etc.) have really transformed travel to many places in a huge number of ways over just about the past 10 years. I can't say I would really give that up very willingly.

[Added: Though, if I'm being honest, I'd admit that expectations about being able to be reached and to reach others have shifted. When cell phones started to become popular, I sort of disliked how a lot of people increasingly assumed you could always call for help in an emergency. Today, if I were going to be in a remote area for an extended period by myself, I'd probably find it hard to justify not having a satellite messaging system.]

Incidentally these new declarative rulesets are useless against some very simple tricks. I know people who are working full time on defeating ad blockers and the new Manifest v3 seems to have made their lives so much easier.
