Time Machine (and macOS in general) isn’t really intended for large office setups, it’s a personal backup system.

Time machine hasn’t required AFP for years. SMB is in fact the preferred protocol.

The SMB server does require a few extensions not all servers have adopted, so perhaps that’s what you’re referring to?

And the food there is fantastic.
I want to move, so badly. It's been my singular goal for over a year now and I've cut back my spending nearly entirely except for rent+groceries to try to save up enough to do so, and I've sold most of my belongings to save more and make the eventual move easier. Moving is what I think about when I wake up and before I go to sleep.

I have severe seasonal affective disorder and pretty bad driving anxiety. I've seen mental health professionals for both of these and everyone's just said I should move. I have cognitive techniques for both of these that help a little, and been recommended medications to help, but really the solution is to move and be car-free. On days where I don't have to drive and it's above 65F outside, I genuinely feel like a totally different person.

The only place in the US where you can be a first-class citizen without a car and feel the sun every day is San Francisco. It's a nice bonus that SF is a fantastic place to be a hardware engineer too. I've been on a plan of sending out 10-15 applications every week for about a year and have at least 1 phone interview each week. I've been in the interview pipeline with around 60 companies over the past year, and so far received zero offers. Usually it's "we're looking for someone already local".

If it ever happens, getting a job in SF and moving there will have been the hardest thing I've ever done. My bank account is at $13k now, so once it hits $20k I'm just going to risk it and move without a job.
Usually 30% of the first year salary. Hire a $150k dev the recruiter gets $50k
This has got to be a troll post. How could anyone think it's acceptable for something to catch fire if they accidentally leave it plugged in too long? Do you set a timer each time you plug something in? Do counterfeiter items always come with their modified counterfeit-only instructions with these new rules to follow? Do they say "Note: this is a counterfeit so we replaced the food bowl's paint with a cheaper lead-based one, thus do not eat from it, especially not your children"?

Oops, I took the bait.
> turn a 30 minute task into a 3 hour task

Not a bad thing at all. If he is an engineer, it is due diligence, which is in fact his job.

> a 1 week task can turn into a 3 month task

This is more of a management problem than a personal issue. If you are letting him drag out a 1-week task over 3 months then either he has way too much leeway in delivery scheduling, or it wasn't worth his time in the first place and it should never have been assigned to him.

Also, who is estimating these tasks?
It's a little like the way that Americans hold "Congress" in contempt (e.g. less popular than the Communist Party U.S.A., tied with child molesters) but they almost always reelect their incumbent congressmen.

I worked for quite a few small companies where I knew the owners and also a company that was part of a conglomerate that did benefit management. Thus I had a lot of insight into how the sausage is made and how much my employers stressed it over negotiating health benefits each year.

In many cases the employer-based system hides the pain from employees however.
It's by no means complete but it looks like there are only 5-7 places Iran connects to the undersea fiber optic cable network. If they had control of those they could easily just restrict access. The network level is very resilient but the physical layer is where governments can really exercise control.
I'm not sure the "independent thought" bit is justified; if you can't distinguish between illegal and legal things, or can't manage to not do illegal things that are fairly easy not to do, it seems reasonable to question whether you can be trusted to keep (information requiring a clearance) secure.

I worked at Twitter for 5 years before starting PhotoStructure.

I was originally on the ads team, then went to growth and timelines.

I didn't use Twitter before working at Twitter. I didn't get it until I watched how "good at Twitter" people used it.

I heard this a bunch, and it's still true: other social networks are about your friends. Twitter is about your interests. (You can certainly follow your friends, but you can also mute them if they're kind of terrible).

You have to invest some serious time in tending to who you follow before your timeline will become relevant. It's like gardening, seriously.

Think of it like an rss feed of your favorite podcasts and bloggers; but that people publish about 50 % (or lower) good stuff, and the rest of the content is, meh.

The "who to follow" can help, but also looking at other people's follow listing (not who follows them, but who they follow), especially if it's between 150 and 1000 accounts, ish. If they blindly follow back every account that follows them, that's noise.

There will be golden, delightful accounts you find.

The NBA mom that tweets during games.

The HK people on the street, documenting what's actually happening.

Others you'll probably want to unfollow, because their tweets aren't great.

Also, be aggressive with the terms you add to your timeline filter. I suggest adding political names, to start.

Also, holy crap there's a lot of shouting and offense and rancor. Mute that too.

Good luck.
I'd rather not judge the journalist's sourcing abilities by a perception of their expertise in the field that comes from two words. To put it another way: assuming good faith, it's entirely possible that the journalist was told some sort of statistic that agreed with the statement they made; I'm simply curious as to what it might be.

I feel the big problems started with Fulfilment by Amazon, when anyone and their mother could start selling directly on Amazon through almost no barrier. From anecdata alone (reading forums on FBA, etc) this program seems less popular in Europe. Americans on FBA that are just there for the quick buck typically stick with US FBA and for some reason I haven't read tons of articles on people in Europe using that as a new revenue generator.
Not the political class, the monied classes. No one wants to accept haircuts to their lifestyle.

Outside of (sub)tropics AC isn't really needed; it's a luxury. Air-conditioned homes in Europe are still fairly uncommon. As for heating, the unfortunate fact is that most of that is needed due to subpar (or often close to nonexistent) insulation, even in climates where it could make a big difference.

I think its ironic that in the last three centuries we have spilled so much blood on freedom from authoritarianism, human rights, national identity. A lot of people were trying hard to preserve their cultural values even in face of oppression. Suddenly climate change is threatening all of that and nobody gives a damn about it or they even actively fight for policies that accelerate climate change. They just assume that humans will adapt and ignore that adaptation in this case means migrating away from their own countries. You're not going to have the typical American culture in Alaska...
Get a LoadBalancer for Any Kubernetes Cluster
It is not entirely clear from the website, but it basically seems to be a kind of employment agency--they set you up with a workspace, and get you jobs with their paying corporate clients. So the deal they're offering is to give you a cut of the fee in exchange for moving, because they need to have workers to sell before they can make any money.

Also a little odd is that they want to bring jobs to non-urban areas, but they're selling themselves as an escape for people in expensive urban areas, rather than an opportunity for people in non-urban areas who need jobs. And it also leaves aside less expensive urban areas that need jobs.
There's the concept of T-shaped expertise. Start with a broad base but then narrow down to a specialty. So you've kind of got both. Doctors, for instance, still have to know the basics of every bodily system, regardless of what they specialize it, because everything affects everything in the body.
Check out their Q4 earnings release; Azure and cloud services are the products with highest growth. IIRC While Office desktop is still a major revenue source the market is trending towards Office 365, and Windows is behind cloud services revenue.
Yes, but those are unrelated to climate change.
This is an interesting point and worth looking in to more. Thanks for making it a Google sheet (I don't have Excel.)

I'm no demographer, but my intuition is that the shift from 44% to 40% is not likely due to an increase in single-income households that are also buying homes. I think over the last 30 years that number would get squeezed a bit on both ends:

* Boomers are retiring causing some dual-income households to become 0-income households. Indeed, the proportion of 0-income households has gone up about 4% over the same period.

* Millenials are marrying later, causing them to be reported as "single income households" far later in life than in previous generations. For instance, I'm still single at an age when my father owned a home and had 3 kids (on a single income). As mentioned previously, I'm in no position to buy a home right now.

While I constitute a "household" under the census designation, my original comment was more referring to a traditional marriage or domestic partnership that would be in the market to buy a home. If we could normalize the data to such couples (say working-age partners in a relationship) I think we'd see the trend of dual-income households that matches my anecdotal observations.
> when you do sell out your house has gone up in value a lot more than inflation, while if your neighbor had built a large apartment next door your house value wouldn't be as high.

This is an example of the issue I was talking about: it functions as an inequality accelerator. People who are already "in" have the power to set the rules of the game to be even more advantageous to themselves.

It is not so much the number of connections that a country has to the internet but the number of connections that a country internal to itself. Consider two countries:

Country A has an IXP (Internet Exchange Point) within its borders. Thus, if it cuts external connections, Country A still has working network connections between hosts within its borders.

Country B has most of its internal communications routed through IXPs in neighboring countries. When it cuts those external connections, it cuts connections between hosts within its own borders.

All other things being equal Country B will bare a much higher cost to cutting the internet than Country A because at least people in Country A can access websites inside their country.

Given this, consider the national security implications of Amazon AWS.
I really wish the tech community would stop encouraging "this and that is terrible"-style articles. It toxifies the whole atmosphere, and it doesn't have to be like this if we don't want to.
His point about the missing middle in dating apps is valid feedback about dating apps and all algo-based matching platforms (including news aggregators like this one, although in the case of aggregators it may be desirable).

Designing non-WTA systems is really hard

One system that gets around it is the matching algorithm for medical residency, which is designed to match every student with a space. But (1) this is probably not appropriate for dating, and (2) professional licensing has its own problems.
Btw, to add on that: A pushdown automata with two separate stacks is as powerful as a turing complete language. And you could interpret a standard finite state machine as a pushdown automata without any stack. So the number of stacks is what makes it more powerful (although more than 2 stacks does not make it more powerful).

So this is the new fact checking, after the outrage machine is in full swing?

I think everyone has seen how this works with alt-right social news blogging, and we've already seen this blogger feed the flames with false accusations retracted later.

I don't agree with the likes of Zuckerberg (though I think even he is backtracking) that fake news can be algorithmically detected precisely due to this example blog. There is no proof of work in fact checking, so outraged "left"/"right" bloggers is worse than no information.

If there's something to feed to the media do so, if there's something to feed to special prosecutors or the SEC even better.

Meanwhile, the world outside of the Vonnegut Museum is performing an homage to him by attempting to recreate Harrison Bergeron.

I became a Vonnegut fan at age 12 when I tried to check out Breakfast of Champions from the local library, and they sent me home with a permission slip for my mom to sign instead. So of course I had to read all of his books. Then had to reread them a few years later to understand them.

I agree in general but I find this piece of knowledge to be too theoretical and specific (the equivalence of regex & finite automata).

I find it much more important to know how networking and the Internet works and basic client-server architecture. And maybe some things about authentication. These topics seem much more tangible and important to non-technical people than CS theory.

This year's releases had a lot of new things in it, and a number of projects saw significant rewrites. Presumably engineers had a hard time keeping up with bugs?
I hear you. The issue is, to me, that because interest are so low (and appear to continue to get lower) this has caused the list prices of homes to increase in proportion. Because of this, a 20% downpayment has become even more difficult to achieve for more people.

To be sure, the down payment doesn't protect the buyer at all. It simply exists to protect the lender in the case of an early default. They can still sell the foreclosed home, possibly under market or in a depressed market, and be made whole since they only lent 80% of the original price.

In fact, the average Joe would be better off in today's climate by putting 0 down and using what they would have put down into different financial instruments that will likely out perform the 3.x% interest rate they are likely receiving, considering they wouldn't have other penalties like PMI.

The financial crisis had a lot of inputs and bad banking was a part. That is, banks giving loans to those who were not financially able. However, a big part of this was due to government interference in the free market pushing President Bush's "ownership economy" policy which forced banks to give loans to people they probably wouldn't have otherwise. And then the whole thing went to hell.

A 0% down loan to a vetted individual with sufficient net worth wouldn't be a bad thing. I do believe there is a calculus we are missing between interest rates, inflation rates, and what a viable down payment should be.
As an example of the repercussions of such a decline, after years of being an Apple user (I switched from Windows to OS-X when they started making top of the line hardware and using x86 processors) I switched back to Windows because their hardware become subpar and far too expensive for it, the lack of an escape key was a big red flag to me. This also coincided with Microsoft's current embracing of developers (not just MS stack ones), a better OS with Windows 10 and WSL. It's been a little rocky, but I cannot see myself going back to OS-X unless MS messes things up big time.

Another option is you can just find a job in Dallas or Atlanta or something. There's enough programming jobs in cities like that, the COL is relatively low, you can live in pretty much any part of town that suits your fancy, and they're probably much nicer to live in than you might imagine if you've never left the coasts.

Personally if I were looking to move anywhere after leaving the bay I'd consider Raleigh or Nashville. Midsize-to-largeish cities are pretty cool.
