There's already tens of websites that host ROM dumps of most games from most of the consoles in relatively recent history - however the PC for some reason is trailing in these archives massively... I wonder why? I'm guessing a lot of young children had a console in their home, and so have a lot more fond memories of the games they played with their friends, families - as opposed to a dude playing Civ1 on their old 486 DOS PC.
I really think this shouldn't be an either-or thing, most especially for established companies, but to some extent for growing ones as well.

If you run a data center in the same city/cities as your engineering strengths are located, that doesn't necessarily give you the geographical diversity you need for many companies. But if you don't run any data centers, you're blind to some of the cost structures, and architectural limitations of the system, and you can become soft.

I was going to make a simile to Google and Facebook having their own hardware divisions, but I don't really need to, because they are planning to make cloud-friendly custom hardware for data centers. This seems like an area that the incumbents should be all over but I can't recall the last time I read of innovations from them. Which means there is space for someone new to establish a toe-hold.

If I were based in Chicago I'd want a data center in Chicago, and Cloud Servers on the West Coast, (and Europe, etc as applicable). But the lock-in situation is untenable to me right now. It's pretty easy to end up deploying multiple solutions for the same situation. That just complicates reasoning about the system. It bears a resemblance to the Lavaflow antipattern and I can tell you that either can be no fun at all.

I've been remote for only 3 months but I'm totally sure it's for me. In my case the alternative was two hours a day on BART. Now I get to see my kids way more.

I guess I kind of understand single people who like being at the office all day but at the same time many of them seem to act like work is most of their social life. That seems bad to me, So your whole social life is at the mercy of your employer? What happens when you get laid off?

In any case just like that guy I have options if I want to be more social. I got a house a short bike ride away from some co working spaces so it's an option.

Totally agree about it being about choice which is a breath of fresh air. Companies in big cities like SF seem like they are run with single college grads in mind.
Isn't this a prime example of correlation, not causation?

Google-Docs-as-chat is extremely common in schools. Tons of schools use Google docs so they're not blocked, permissions (who you can bring to a doc) are usually wide-open, and monitoring's non-existent if you don't attract attention.
You quoted and then ignored the entire reason they don’t compete. Nuclear is great for base load because it’s not very reactive as you pointed out. Solar and wind are absolutely terrible for base load (see Hawaii).

I'm contesting that access to healthcare is the problem at all. I don't think it is. I think all available evidence we have, including historical OD rates and the like, point to "other things" being the problem.

Maybe access to more healthcare would help, though the US already uses more healthcare than almost any other nation, but I suspect, like the rest of health, the real gains are to be found elsewhere, and this is a huge canard so people can feel like their pet political policy will solve something real.

You pay taxes on the funds used to maintain the property. So unless you're in a market with obscene growth rates, you still lose money even if you earned capital gains on the transaction.

I just put together a spreadsheet assuming 1% maintenance, 1% tax rate, and 3.5% mortgage rate on a 250k house. You still would need a 5% annual rate of return to make money. After 15 years you would have hit your $250k capital gains limit, but you'd only have $70k in profit after taxes, interest and maintenance. At 3%, you lose money until well after the house is paid off.
Kubernetes Gardener Project Update
I mean - old DOS games that are 16-bit compiled won't have a chance in hell of running on a modern Windows 10 PC that's for sure - but the weird "interim" period of DOS/Windows PC era (win9x comes to mind) could potentially infect computers if an obscure virus was enclosed, or if someone uploading an archived game embeds a modern virus in it (but what's the chance of successful infections if like ONE person downloads the game in a year - it's abandonware for crying out loud!!)

It seems like they want to do something like Rust, but with a new focus on regionalized memory management.
Kuhn or bust!:)
I think in this beating a dead horse you fail to see some issues here.

If you are going to allocate memory based on the size of a network packet's 32 bit quantity, in any language, that means your connection peer can make you allocate a contiguous 4GB. You already have a bug there.

Many languages that readers here consider saviors to big bad C do not make integer overflow fault. It's not as simple a matter as you suggest because there are real tradeoffs. There are also algorithms that rely on wrapping around that are working as intended.

Making it fault all the time also means that trap, if not handled, is a bug that may tear down your process, just as that runtime out of bounds exception represents a serious bug too. So another thing to consider.

I just tire of hearing that switching your language will make it so you never write any bugs again. A crashing bug in C often would be a crashing bug in another language. The difference is that memory safety gives you better failure modes that don't lead to serious problems like remote code execution. You can make that argument reasonably without pretending the new language will make you infallible and the old language is responsible for all evil in the world.
Duo | Ann Arbor MI, Austin TX, Remote | Full time and intern

Duo's mission is to democratize security with the primary products being MFA and Zero Trust / BeyondCorp. We were recently acquired by Cisco who was named a leader in the "2019 Forrester Zero Trust Platform Wave".

I'm working in DevOps where our stack includes Python, Docker, Ansible, and AWS. I know our backend is written in Python. We also have iOS and Android apps as well as Chrome extensions.

Our teams are mostly divided between the Ann Arbor and Austin offices with some remote. The split offices encourages a very remote-friendly environment (I'm remote). We would prefer people with prior remote experience. As for timezones, I'm not aware of a policy but I'd guess +/- 3 hours from the team you'd be working with.

If you have questions about what its like at Duo, feel free to reach out to me "<username> at duosecurity dot com".

My team is specifically looking for Senior DevOps engineers: https://jobs.cisco.com/jobs/ProjectDetail/Senior-Developer-E...

In general, we are looking to hire for a variety of roles, including

- Backend

- Mobile

- UX and Design

- SRE

- Security Engineers

Final line of article "Learn more at MNGreenEnergyFails.com."

This isn't objective information. Maybe it's true or not, the intent is not to inform.

ps - if you want to say it is true, I'd suggest you unpack "In contrast to wind, coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants can run for a very long time. Coal and natural gas plants can easily run for 50 years, and nuclear plants can be updated and retrofitted to run for 60 years. This has profound implications for the cost of electricity on a per megawatt hour basis that seemingly no one is talking about." and what those true costs are, and how much people are really relying on the 30 year period they discuss and LCOE. The author is presenting this in a way that very manipulative, as though this is a conspiracy and a big secret. Everything in this article is very well known.
I think with investment nuclear technology could scale down - the full steam boiler design could maybe even be miniaturized via silicon micro machines type technology, but there might also be avenues for using the photoelectric effect for a more direct nuclear to electricity conversion.

Either way, I can totally imagine someone saying "punch cards and relays scale down horribly - you could never make a small computer".
Are you really "tripped out"? That phrase is often used as gatekeeping by people who want to shame others into liking what they like.

Nobody should argue that advancements haven't been made since 1988, but nobody's manufacturing organic human organs yet --- chemical pieces of: probably.
A thing I'm curious about is how they plan on handling the supply chain. As a consumer of server products I observe that running a server company is much less a technical problem and much more of a supply chain management problem. As I understand it, it is one of the many reasons why Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple.

That being said, I wonder if the forcing factor behind building their own servers for the big three companies was mostly the inability to get hardware fast enough. Sure, there are tons of other benefits you get after you start building your own servers, but I wonder if they would have been pursued if Dell could land servers on time. In this sense, building your own machines is a much smaller scale to try to supply chain your way around, even if you're Google. That and private companies can be much more agile since they don't have to support existing workloads. Hard drive shortage? Change the spec last minute to not rely on them. This is pretty exciting to see, and there are plenty of third party vendors making money in the space, but they seem to want to revolutionize the space, and I'm curious to see how that happens.
No it’s not. You can live on a yatch and traverse the open ocean for months at a time.
The "plot thickening" is that this is CERN's take on the matter, which has been following it for years -- so to them, the same arxiv article constitutes "new information" that came as just plain news to everybody else.

InEnTec looks interesting, looks like they're already working on plasma gasification. One of the problems I have run into with a lot of companies that I've contacted is that most of them are only interested in industrial scale systems, and have no interest in small scale production. Definitely worth getting in touch though.
I think that was an example, not the entire point.

God, I couldn't wait to give up the CEO title. When I brought on a partner I immediately ceded it to him when we discussed roles. He was shocked and thought he would start as the COO for years.

It's such a thankless job and one that has a specific skillset that is fairly rare. You can be the Founder but not the CEO; something people seem to forget in this business.

If SuperMicro plus real estate, power, provisioning, and operating costs isn't competitive with cloud costs, perhaps it might be because the large cloud vendors have entire teams focusing entirely on bringing down the cost of building and operating these things at scale.

Cloud vendors don't have 90% profit margins; the cost of cloud is what it is because operating computers at scale is hard.
>If that were true the bay area would have been empty long ago because of the ridiculous housing cost. Fact is most people won't change cities for lower housing cost.

Do you genuinely think that housing costs don't factor into which cities people choose to live? I'm not sure this conversation can go anywhere beneficial if we can't agree on that fundamental and in my opinion obvious fact.
Which is pretty much what the posts you replied to said.
Well you know the computer only does what you tell it to do.
> Wow, this is literally the exact reason I loathe remote working!

I've been remote working for years and I now find that my most productive times are "in-the-zone bursts" of work. What used to take a whole day I can now get done in a couple of hours.

So, now I find less of an imperative to keep a structure. My new rule is to just be very vigilant about when my brain wants to do the work... and when I get the feeling jump right in.

It's weird but it seems to work well in my case!
Twitter thread author here!

Because, as others have said, you go where the people are, otherwise you're just howling into the void, and what's the point of doing it? If I only wrote on Medium, or for niche magazines, or newspapers, then there's a whole lot of people who would never discover interesting stuff.

So I do both, depending on when the mood takes me, or if the subject can work in a Twitter format (not everything can) or needs the full longform treatment. If it's the latter, then I stick it up on Medium.

Horses for courses and all that.

Indeed, the idea is to use each day until Christmas to unveil a new post about search, privacy and security. Today is about opening a discussion about data collection practices. It's often presented as a "all or nothing" (more often than not it's "nothing"). But data is needed to create independent and viable alternatives to the giants so maybe there is a middle ground if it's done with privacy at heart from the ground up.

Except you need cash flow or savings to afford a house, even a paid off one. If you don't pay your mortgage or tax bill, then someone is going to evict you.
I'd expect the value of a properly built and maintained house to decrease very slowly (e.g. the building I live in is ~110 years old and not that much worse than when it was built), and while that's still a negative, on the other hand the value of the land would appreciate even (and especially if) there's active building of new homes, so the total value of house+land can be quite stable even if supply is not restricted. It won't skyrocket, though.
