Well, AMT looks very tempting because of the functionality.

On the other side because of security, I'm not sure whether I should be glad to use NUC models that don't have it at all.

So assuming I take the risk, what networking link does AMT require? Do I guess correctly that it works only over Ethernet? Thinking of mobile devices that have only a cellular modem link.
Cold War Espionage is endlessly fascinating. I recommend looking into the story of the Cambridge Five, some of the most notorious Soviet spies in British History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Five
It seems odd that they would have profitability issues since they are just a wrapper around PayPal. They should be pocketing the 6-7% after PayPal’s cut and the payout to creators for 90%.

I thought that this was one of those 4-hour-work week businesses where it was just the founder registering domain names and planning marketing.

It also seems odd that creators don’t just use PayPal directly and ask for scheduled transactions.
I had a P3 desktop with a UDMA hard drive (33MB/s theoretical peak) and 128MB of RAM. A workstation of the time would have over 512MB of RAM and a SCSI drive that might not sustain 40MB/s.

Going back further, in 1995, a SPARCstation 20 had a SCSI-2 controller (10MB/s maximum transfer rate) and could be fitted with 512MB of RAM.

YA Twitter is a digital sacrifice zone, and has been such from the beginning. This isn't news.
My stepdad worked for AT&T back in the 70’s/80’s. He took us to his office one night and we saw an old ESS switch that had magnetic core memory. I just started programming at the time but remember it creeping me out for some reason.

We also listened in on a random phone call and called a small restaurant in France to listen to the menu of the day.
Designing APIs != Building APIs. Saying Oracle can copyright the Java APIs is like saying you can copyright the HTML5 specification, making it so the authors are the only ones who can implement HTML5.
New languages aren't popping up (and taking over) every 5 years like they used to. The rate of change is slowing. At this point, I think it's fine to settle down with a language, as the entrenched positions of the top languages isn't changing anytime soon. I know, even as early as the late 90s people were saying C++ was done for, and it's still in fairly popular demand (https://skilldime.com/), mainly due to all that legacy code.
"Propaganda" is always a convenient label to throw around about ideas that you don't agree with. Economics isn't perfect (economists are human), but it is engaged with the empirical evidence. The empirical evidence is that capitalism is pretty good at delivering goods and services, that it suffers from a business cycle, and that markets by themselves are not good at correcting externalities (such as pollution). Economics engages with this empirical reality. The people who are quickest to call economics "propaganda" are the ones who want to deny this reality.

Can’t tell if grandparent post wants to manage apps on a cluster (see below) or apps that are a cluster (see https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/)

If it’s letting a dev manage apps on a cluster someone else let them put apps on, while staying in dev mode, maybe devs could appreciate the cluster provisioning SREs enabling app devs with so-called GitOps or AutoDevOps approaches, prescriptivist ways of leveraging Docker, K8s, and Helm, such as:

I don't know man... I tend to agree with @recursive here. I think some of you guys aren't treating the poster fairly.

I can see why this would get some people fired up. It definitely feels a little gross presented in this manner. But... it IS MIT liscense. Nobody made the author release it this way.

He could have easily released the demo on his own website and not provided the code "without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies".

I'm glad people pointed out the original author, I just went and browsed his codepen page. But we have to assume he is OK with people coyping or even selling the code assuming the license is not breached.
I've recently been engrossed by the question of how geniuses and highly intelligent people think. There's bits and pieces of information online. What I'd really like to see, though, is (a) geniuses describe their thought process and (b) a smart person voicing is interior monologue while attacking a problem.

1) Do you know of any information like this? Link?

2) Otherwise: do you think in a way that's different (better) than the average person?
Some very low numbers indeed.

But they're in interstellar space. I imagine high-energy collisions (with hydrogen atoms or loose protons) would be a more likely cause of evaporation, and I don't know the numbers for that.

That requires orders of magnitude more capital/work than what got the app to where it is. At that scale whatever this app already has built is irrelevant.

Amazon is clearly an outlier. Let’s not equate every unprofitable company with them.
Joel Spolsky talked years ago about how software companies are doing it by letting them use the latest cool toys -- Erlang or whatever is hot these days.

I'd ask why you need an "enterprise CRUD app". Programmers tend to like doing new things, and if your app doesn't offer anything new, why are you even building it?
I’m honestly surprised that they still exist. When they introduced all those mail-in rebates it pissed a lot of people off. Making your customers jump through so many hoops to end up with missing or denied rebates is one sure fire way to lose your base.

Ouch, don't let Facebook hear you say that :p

They tried so hard to get Search to stick, to the point of trying to juice the numbers by forcing you to go to a result page instead of directly to a group/page/profile in the live results dropdown.
No, not if the book is wrong obviously
. In this interview case, however, you’d want to be pretty specific about where you thought those flaws might be and suggest ways to make it even better.

By “the book” I meant a well thought out process that follows the law, protects parties in a dispute, prevents retaliation, encourages reporting, and is well documented and understood. I’m probably missing a bunch of other best practices - not a certified HR Specialist.

My only aim here was to distinguish between disputes that arise in politically charged areas vs. the handling of those disputes which, I would argue should not be charged at all but rather an efficient run-through of a dispute process that “works”.
To be fair to OP, I had the same image in my head before I joined. I probably wrote a similar comment at some point in the past, and propagated the misinformation myself. I worked for many years at an aerospace company, where we put in long hours for relatively little pay. I convinced myself that if a company offered its employees good perks, it must have a sinister motive.

Of course, now there are constant stories of tech employees griping about how evil they think their employers are, how unfairly they're being treated, how little freedom they have to express their opinions. It's hard not to roll my eyes sometimes.
Vaguely. Do you have a point? If so, would you state it, instead of making me try to guess?
(Agreed! I'm glad we're having it.)

I don't think forced political expression is entirely a boogeyman. There was an article a couple months back[1] where a guy was publicly offended that (admittedly among other complaints) his coworkers weren't talking enough about police brutality. Anecdotally I have a lot of stories; for Hispanic Heritage Month, for example, we had Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posters all around the office.

It's definitely important to discuss how your actions align with your values. Sometimes that will mean discussing values issues that are also political issues, and sometimes that will mean making a very slippery distinction. But this isn't the extent of the political activism at Google. When employees insisted that Kay Coles James must not be allowed on the AI advisory council[2], they didn't argue that having her would make Google do some particular evil thing. They argued that she's a mean person who holds the wrong political views, so Google must shun her.

People definitely should be honest about what they want to ban and why. But again, in my experience, most people opposed to politics in the workplace honestly do have content-neutral motivations. I'm a very strong Andrew Yang supporter, bumper sticker and pile of campaign swag and all, and I never bring it up in the workplace because I'm not there to do partisan politics.

Boeing tried this a lot back when I worked there. Our managers would talk about how their airplanes enabled people to trade with people across the globe, and brought people together.

It's hard to see the high-level talk as anything but just talk when the systems you have to deal with on a daily basis are a tire fire. Initech tried to talk a good game, too.

I suppose some people are motivated that way, but I care most about my daily process. If the process makes me miserable, no amount of "context" will motivate me.
The absence of de minimis exceptions is not that important because API copyrights are a terrible idea all on their own.
This would seem to call in to question their being "friends of the court" rather than associated with a particular litigant, especially in the cases where they chose to also work for Google and likely have an a interest in the outcome of this specific case.

$60k/month is a hell of a “lifestyle”.
A better analogy (i think) is a city that has in its constitution "streets and building locations must be in the exact same spot and have the exact same purpose as they are in neighboring City B (eg a coffee shop must be on the corner of 2nd & 3rd, but which coffee shop it is doesn't matter as long as it does the same thing as the coffee shop in City B)".
One thing that I've noticed in California is that the system is totally disinterested in results from the student, and I have no clue how to fix it because, as far as I can tell, the teachers feel like they are not allowed to incentivize performance.

My oldest daughter discovered that if she turns in an assignment with something vaguely related to the questions written on it, she is pretty much guaranteed a B, and will often get an A. The only thing she has learned from school is that nobody cares about the quality of her work. She did manage to get a C for one term in one class in middle school by not turning in a single assignment. When we met with the teacher after that, we surprised her by asking how she could justify giving our daughter such a high grade (she was expecting us to complain about how low it was).

My second oldest has been consistently a year behind since 1st grade, and now that she is in 6th grade, things are starting to fall apart (so much of what you learn is cumulative by this point). We've been asking for her to be retained since 3rd grade and been denied 3 times in a row. Everyone is worried about her "self esteem" but it's not like she doesn't know that she's at the bottom of her class, and that's not doing any wonders for her self esteem either.

Our youngest two haven't been fucked up by the system yet, but I feel at this point like it's more of a "when" rather than an "if" question.

I'd love to see the breakdown of Patreon subscription amounts.

Personally, I support around 15 YouTubers each with $1/mo, meaning I pay $15/mo for my YouTube content. If I paid them individually with PayPal, the fees would be 30% and the creators would only get 66 cents. Since Patreon bundles the payments, the fee is only 5%, Patreon takes their cut and the creators get 90 cents.

To me, Patreon is basically a micro-transaction bundler.
There are no unbiased sources of knowledge. Wikipedia isn't special. Everything is written by humans and humans have their biases. That's why you shouldn't get all your information from a single source.
"C/C++", as such, is a reliable marker of ignorance or bias, regardless of the context you find it in, unless the topic is object-code generation.

While Cloud Run is a managed service, it is built upon Knative as far as I'm aware, so in theory a self-hosted version could be compared to Firecracker. You are correct that a Cloud Run to Lambda comparison would be more 1:1, though.

What I'm trying to figure out is, what ARE they doing? From the patron end of things at least, I barely see any new features at all.

If they were adding like streaming support, their own patron chat (instead of just linking to Discord), video hosting (instead of everyone using unlisted YouTube videos), etc, then I'd agree they're trying to do too much, but I don't even know what they ARE doing?

Mick Herron's "Slow Horses" series is fantastic, highly recommended. Slough House (from which the title) is where agents go when they fuck up. So everyone is flawed, and know they have failed. They're the ones who get a whiff of something going on, and their sorting of it is a redemption quest made difficult by the fact that they are fuckups. My memory is that it gets the tech right and the banter is A+ hilarious. (Herron is the author of this TLS piece, hence this recommendation)
You may be using "smarter" to mean something different than IQ, but if you mean IQ then you're wrong. Different professions have different distributions of IQ, and programmers are among the professions with the highest average IQ. They definitely skew higher than house painters.

Programmers may not be wiser, kinder, or better than anyone else, but on average they are a bit smarter.

For anyone who's interested in more detail:

This type of computer is also called a "parametron" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametron). A Japanese researcher named Eiichi Goto independently invented it around the same time as von Neumann, and developed it much further than von Neumann did, so the idea is more often associated with Goto than with von Neumann.

The basic idea is that if a nonlinear harmonic oscillator is driven at twice its resonant frequency, it will oscillate stably in either of two phases. The two phases represent "0" and "1". If the driving signal is switched off and on again, the oscillator will arbitrarily "pick" a phase to stabilize on. If it's exposed to an input signal from another oscillator as it's turning on, it will always pick the same phase as the input signal. This makes it possible to copy a "0" or "1" from one oscillator to another. If the oscillator is exposed to input signals from several other oscillators, it will pick by "majority vote". Finally, a NOT-gate can be built by inverting the signal polarity. This set of primitives is sufficient to build arbitrary logic gates and flip-flops.

Goto's paper has an excellent explanation and more detail:

Goto, E. (1959). The Parametron, a Digital Computing Element Which Utilizes Parametric Oscillation. Proceedings of the IRE, 47(8), 1304–1316. doi:10.1109/jrproc.1959.287195

The FAANG companies employ so many people that they anchor salaries. If you have a job offer that is more attractive than a typical FAANG offer (and paying more is one way of doing so), then you have access to a pool of labor that is practically unlimited for even a medium-sized business. 20 engineers a piece from each FAANG company is 100 engineers and they might not even notice such a small drop in employment.
Interesting idea, but $13/month is about 2X - 3X more than I'd be willing to pay. I pay Protonmail around $6/month, and I want to pay less than that for social media.
If a person is interviewing for a supervisory or HR position, there's a lot more involved than just their personal behavior, and even with personal behavior, just saying "I treat everyone equally" in a blandly shallow manner suggests a lack of experience with or thought about clashes of perspective in an organization.

Or, to use an analogy, consider interviewing someone who, when asked about their preferences and strategies for ensuring code quality, answers "I just write correct code in the first place". Even if they're correct in that statement, that's not the sort of person you want in charge of that subject, because most people don't work like that, even if they wish they could.
They are not very competitive for the price. They are about 50% slower than same-priced quad core Core i3 CPUs on Chrome Octane 2 benchmarks, 25% slower on video encoding, etc. AMD is free-riding the good reviews of their latest parts by giving these APUs very similar model numbers. In reality these are obsolete parts.
