There was a firmware update[1] to fix various issues with the trackpad – are the annoyances you describe there even after applying the update?

I just got a nervous tick. Having done it before IAM is the killer feature of AWS.

As someone from the northeast, I'm intrigued!
> I also wonder if expectations were unclear. It now sounds like the focus of Actix was on performance and creativity / cleverness and not on being a mature product. I never heard that before. Maybe even the author didn't even originally articulate it so clearly but discovered it through these discussions.

That's actually my main sticking point on this being mostly on the maintainer. From the actix documentation, releases, and promotion, I never got the feeling that it was _not_ meant for production. Even to the point of the comment "Microsoft uses this in production".

And suddenly, "It's creative/fast/research/whatever"? That really feels like trying to sidestep findings because you don't want to lose your spot in the techempower benchmarks. Even more so, when the documentation, etc. is not updated to reflect this new focus, and there's no announcements about it.
I’ll never forgive DigitalOcean for deleting my portfolio site after 5 weeks of nonpayment.

5 weeks. Deleted everything.

Yes, I screwed up. But I would have happily paid them. They deleted the backups too.

When we inquired as to whether the backups could be restored now that we’ve paid them, they said it was impossible.

Blame me if you want and say it’s my fault. It certainly is; I admit that. But why was I paying them for backups that they wiped along with my server?

Meh.

I suggest you look up the definition of militia. Its not a military, police, national guard, or even reserve force that exists in the US today. Its not any organization either, considering the one common attribute of militias is disorganization.

Which is why after the justification you list, the enumeration is clear.

"the right of the _people_ to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

It doesn't actually say "arm's considered safe by the government", "people considered safe by the government", "people trained by the government" or anything else. Might be convenient for some if it did, but it doesn't. And given the history of private cannon/schooner/etc ownership it might surprise you to know that the laws in effect today are quite restrictive with respect to the historical understanding of the amendment. Which is why many consider the NFA banning machine guns and related laws to be unconstitutional, and lacking a serious challenge. Partially because the NRA mostly supported it.

Many of the cases the 1934 regulation stands upon are flimsy, obviously racist rulings against people without means.

So, I would be really careful making augments against it. And just so I'm clear, I consider both political sides to be more than willing to twist the meaning of the constitution to justify their goals. Same as the "Christians" that used the bible to justify slavery or to treat women as second class citizens.

Even that is getting automation as I long ago predicted. I think the SPARK-type proofs will be easier to automate this way, too, since they're more mechanical.

Leader/Follower (pietroglyph's is probably best), Cam/Follower, Sender/Receiver, Drive/Pulley (?), Reference/Replica, Model/Instance, Broker/Agent, Supervisor/Worker, maybe even Coordinator/Helper (these are a bit long), Lead/Rhythm, Lead/Understudy, Boss/Worker

Also good but maybe weird: Alpha/Beta, Red/Black (and if we need 3+, I think Hearts/Spades/Clubs[/Diamonds[/Jokers..]] is fine if you write down the object of the game, so to speak)

Slightly humorous but not best: Hivemind/Drone, Hypnotoad/Zombie, Sauron/Saruman, Don/Capo, Drummer/Dancer
It's not such a thin veneer if you count libraries.
While its not a universal construct - it is challenging to look at the history of many cultures who arrived at a similar distribution of labor and the behavior of other mammals and not wonder if men and women aren't inherently different in some generalized way that isn't readily alterable.

For those of us on the other side of the debate, there is always this vague sense of some people are underestimating the impact of these intrinsic differences.
You're still claiming that people are saying it just to be witty/funny. They aren't. It is a legitimate concern that people should be informed of, if they aren't aware.
I agree that it is reasonable for a society to support parents with child-raising to a degree (by say offering free public education and healtcare). But it is a fundamental responsibility of parents, society is here in supporting role.
(similar boat, use Heroku and some GCP in production for work) -- Heroku is great. But it is a bit limited and very expensive. It feels w/ modern cloud platforms you get something comparable with a little more flexibility for only a little more technical burden, _iff_ you have the chops. GCP / AWS are starting to encroach a bit w/ offerings like Cloud Run, I feel like they are one quality PM away from making a Heroku for Google type product that is a bit more powerful and a bit cheaper than Heroku.

Conversely, I also feel like Heroku could round out their offering just a bit more (ex: built in robust monitoring and alerting, better deploy notifications and healthchecks, a simple custom metrics system) and really lock in that "premium basic" tier that would be perfect for most small to medium businesses.
>People would have children for emotional reasons even if society does not intervene.

What if that isn't true though?

Fertility is universally falling in rich countries.

Could you give me a number of births-per-woman that would motivate your concern? I think 1 birth per woman is a reasonable number for national concern. South Korea is already at 1.0.

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/KOR/south-korea/fertil...

Without a future generation long term concerns evaporate from concern. Maybe this has already happened in some peoples minds with regard to national debt, and the long-term sustainability of social security.
Obviously I was talking about the situation where one doesn't want to sell all property in CA and wants to be able to return to CA from time to time, maybe for months at a time.

Anyway, our current thinking is to establish residence in Nevada (probably in Tahoe) and then go to Europe from there. Thanks for the downvotes.
Can't stand the rampant cell towers there, where they literally let people have one, give them money and only the neighbors that live there get screwed.
If you make your project public, does it by definition mean you are open to other people using your release? I think there's a difference between "Hey, use this project of mine," and "If you use this project, you're on your own..." I think a lot of these debates come down to this confusion. Some people assume the former (and expect some level of response), some the latter (and say it's as simple as forking if you have a problem). Therefore I think anyone who releases should - morally/ethically, not legally/license - state what which philosophy they are following.

It'd be interesting if people could release their projects "abstract" fork-only. So they could publish releases that would be vetted and merged into the downstream forks, but would never be released as a deployable itself.
This might surprise you but a lot of feminists are also strongly in favor of workers' rights and prison abolition. For example, bell hooks and Angela Davis.

I have never met people more passionately invested in the wellbeing of men than the feminists I read and live with. It is a shame to me that decades of propaganda have buried those voices and raised the voices of those who insist that feminism is a zero sum game.
Samsung browser is a piece of garbage that is constantly phoning home, like all other pre-installed Samsung apps.

Look into Kiwi Browser. It's a chromium based android browser that supports extensions https://kiwibrowser.com/

I've been using it alongside FF for Extensions, but it's nicer (+faster) than FF and has features like pull down to refresh a page, native web-app support etc.
It's a very good question. I would imagine more economies of scale? but, I would have thought that DO has enough economies of scale to reap all the benefits. but, I'm not sure.

My impression is that DO is doing just fine. I get the sense that the layoffs are just to add to the profitability, not necessarily a sign of weakness. The article did mention that they were still growing revenues very aggressively.
I could see them supplying cells for stationary energy storage if Tesla energy is at capacity, but I suspect they would only become a cell supplier to another auto manufacturer if that manufacturer was serious about EVs and willing to commit to a long term contract.
> I think the most compelling argument is to point out that the people doing the real work in a restaurant--the cooks and the dishwashers--are paid much worse than the waitstaff, who really aren't even necessary.

the qualifications for FOH vs BOH staff are really not that different, except that you have to speak decent english to be a server. either one you can get hired on the spot with no experience if youre willing to start on the low end. ask any cook whether they would rather do the server's job and they'll probably say no.
No, that's what the caller says is the length of the array and as we already established, they're lying. ;)

In all seriousness there is quite a difference in structures that allow themselves to have guarantees built into the language/tooling (like including the size of the array in the languages basic "array" building block) vs. the more manual book-keeping the C code above requires.
Now the latest boom if JS is its use in full stack applications with Node.js One language, everywhere. Also supersets like TypeScript for validation and specificity.
The irony of this article is that current customers like myself who read this news are now looking at alternatives.

LightSail may be the way to go for now.

This! Not all women want children/can have children/are straight.
It isn't a bad idea but really you are just talking about the cost of daycare services. Some mothers and fathers stay home because they want time with their kids at a very young age. They want to be able to go to every show and tell. Most people who are able to have a stay at home parent is because the other partner makes enough so the don't need to work. You suggestion just makes work possible for a subset that don't work because sending four kids to daycare costs more than they could make. There are other issues for school age kids where they need care close to their school district (for busing) not necessarily where they work.
That's my point, I don't want something at the same level of TCP because then you have to solve the same problems that TCP already solves.

Whitelisting patterns are incredibly common. Breaking that breaks a lot of stuff.
When you're talking Gold or USD, extremely common.
I asked a lawyer friend this question once before starting on a personal project. The answer I got in return took about 30 minutes and was filled with a lot of "ifs" and "buts" and references to at-that-time undecided cases.

Thanks for pointing it out. I've updated my post.
The problem isn't that automation kills jobs. Those jobs reallocate over time.

We've seen automation act on the economy since the 1820s and nothing about deep learning or big data changes these dynamics.

The problem is that those who do lose their jobs have their lives altered for the worse, and those who get the better parts of automation don't share the benefits with the ones losing from it.
"Category error" is the term for this, I believe.
> If you were, say, singing karaoke and someone came up to you and said "you're awful, never sing again, you're off-key, you don't know the words"... Is that not rude to you?

While the recipient would most likely be offended, the rudeness would depend on:
1) the accuracy of the statement.
2) the standard the karaoke bar holds for its singers.
Heck, you could start ideas with much less. Here in colombia you can do US3000/month * Dev to do whatever you say. But even the people here that give funds not do that!
Wow! Thanks for replying. That's a really good point. I'm looking forward to trying it. Cheers.
I loved my TRS-80 100. My first laptop.
This is probably what I would do. Keep around the high margin customers like the OP, but do something with the Complainy Pants Inc; either force-migrate them to a higher cost service tier, throttle them until they leave, or maybe just slow down their service.

The key to remaining competitive in cut-throat industries is knowing where to spend your limited time and money.

The project was not promoted as that for a long time. That "view" on what the project was only came yesterday, when yet another security hole was identified and a patch was prepared.

The impact of that patch would have likely caused actix to no longer be at the top of the techempower benchmarks.
I see many games on the list are free with "One-time purchase".

I find these to be pretty annoying, at least on the Android Play Store. The concept is good: free demo, you pay for the full game. The problem is that it hides the actual price of the game.

Maybe an "actual price" field could be added to the site.
Huh nothing you said indicates it is a professional project. Sleek does not equal professional.

Claim that your permanent residence to Washington state (or some other income-tax free state) if you go abroad. Actually, make it so by moving to WA first, and then going abroad. Also, not all states are like CA, some do support foreign tax credits at least.
From what I can see, tenured professor at an elite school is a pretty good gig. But it's a really tough gig to land, may not pay very well compared to private industry (assuming it's in a well-compensated field), and may force their partner to live somewhere the other employment opportunities aren't great because your own job mobility is likely pretty limited.
I hadn't looked but tbf that's a pretty shit username.
'Crappy' and 'Hacked-together' are literally just insults, they don't carry real technical criticism and frankly they just continue to undermine the credibility of the author. The fact is that 'crappy' code is the most used http crate by far. Clearly everyone in the rust community must be an idiot to be using it. I'm sure the author went off and wrote a totally safe replacement for it. See, now we all get to be dicks to each other rather than actually working to fix stuff.
Pizza delivery has some advantage since the starting point is always the same (the pizza restaurant).
I don't see a problem with that, no.

It would result in more people going into successful careers in industry.

That's a good thing.
This article is great... much thanks to the author.

This kind of stuff is fascinating.
This is just the modern day version of what happened more than a century ago:

In 1914, US Marines broke into the central bank of Haiti, stole half a million dollars in gold, and brought it to New York.

IShares CRBN does something similar, I think.

I'm curious of COMAC's engineers are facing similar levels of pressure to cut corners as did Boeing's engineers while working on the 737 MAX.

Does anyone know if / why we should expect COMAC to avoid repeating Boeing's institutional failures?

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: I'm not assuming that Boeing and COMAC face the same kinds of pressure. I'm asking if they face similar levels of pressure to have a design ready for large-scale roll-out.
Exactly 65GWh? I dunno. But a substantial number, yes.

Announcement of EVs doesn't count for much. The last 5 years have seen lots of announcements and not a ton of deployment.

Cylindrical cells (except for the longest range or highest performance vehicles) are nearly commodities. Tesla's early decision to go with cylindrical cells keeps being validated. It's a major risk reduction to be able to switch cell producers without redesigning the whole battery pack or car. Other car companies like Rivian are also using cylindrical cells.
My sister-in-law works in a tiny company doing graphic design. It's the same thing. Can't leave until the boss does.

She recently came to visit us in my home country for Christmas whereupon I learned that she has a 2 hour commute each way on purpose because of this. I asked her isn't commuting 4 hours a day just awful, why don't you live closer to work? And she replied that if she lived closer to work she would simply be at work longer and having a long commute means 4 hours a day she can spend not doing work stuff but doing things like listening to music and playing games on her phone.
> It falls down because complete fungibility isn't actually a thing.

Agreed.

Studies on those who lost their jobs in the manufacturing towns (Autor, Dorn & Hansen 2016, linked in the article) shows that losing your job to automation is a harrowing experience.

The jobs reallocate over time but it's a bumpy process that can ruin the lives of those affected.

> As tasks are automated new jobs and tasks are created generally at a higher skill and intelligence level.

Not really. Automation tends to hollow out middle skill jobs, leaving high skill and low skill jobs available.

This increases inequality.
I believe that was s/Stanford/Berkeley. Automated text to speech is so cheap now though. Lectures could be uploaded to YouTube and Google would do it for them.
Yes, you are making a separate line of argument that is completely unrelated to the piece of my argument you quoted. I am not responding to that because I agree with it - social pressure that pushes women into childcare is sexism. The impact of choosing childcare over career on economic is not sexism.
Woke twitter after reading this article: Having children is a tool of the patriarchy! Another way that men keep women down! Why don't they have the biological maternal desires to have children?

Technocratic twitter after reading this article: We must solve the “maternal tax” gap!

Normal people after reading this article: "yes, this is what we have been saying for years. Promote the family."
I think your example of a biologist is a bit disingenuous. By 27 they've probably just wrapped up their PhD and were making a paltry stipend to work in a professor's research lab. If they're inclined to continue working for academia then it's not surprising that they won't break past 6 figures. You could just as easily pick people from different fields that are pursuing a career in academia and find that professors at the top-tier make a fraction of what their students make at top-tier companies.

I also think the remark about "stability" was hand wavy. What is it about non-SWE STEM roles that make them so unstable compared to consulting or law?
The former Iraq government led by Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti was explicitly harboring terrorists. Largely due to this, a USA led coalition invaded Iraq in 2003, defeated the Sadam Hussein regime in a war, implemented a new regime, and have since been chasing terrorists out of caves in Iraq for the past 17 years. I expect the US officials will operate by whatever means are neccissary to ensure our security interests are served. Personally, if freezing bank accounts motivates the desired result, I'd prefer they freeze bank accounts versus blowing things (including people) up.
I feel you are being unnecessarily obtuse. I have expressed my opinion based entirely on the article, but on each occasion, you completely disregard the presented facts, demonstrate your displeasure and produce a reply within a context that does not exist nor does it reflect my views.

We have arrived at a point, which is mirroring the predicament of the person in question, so I must respectfully decline to enter into any further debate on this particular topic.
A shift in culture that allows you to bring your children to work would be and would be absolutely sensible for white collar and several blue collar jobs.

Young children (under three) babble and screech and cry and explore and try to finger everything and put everything in their mouth and then screech when you take the thing away from them or try to restrain them from getting at that shiny object they really want. They play for a few minutes then come running over demanding attention and screech if you ignore them. They get hungry and cry, they fall and cry. And this cannot be trained out of them because they are too young for that.

None of this is a problem if you have baby proofed your house and they can wander and play with whatever they want, and if you are just doing chores and can give them the love and attention when they demand it and go back to your chore when they go back to playing again. But it is a big problem if you and other people are trying to concentrate and work.
> So open source is free as in beer, not free as in speech after all. And the reason a company might choose to use open source is solely because it's free, not because they can see the source code or alter it? Because that is why companies are in it, not because they were cheap for the small cash of a paid version. And they're in it because they can watch and choose those projects that are well maintained.

In general, developers aren't auditing the source code or modifying open source code; they're assembling open source packages to provide base functionality and combining that together with business logic and glue code to produce a product. So yes, companies are most commonly using open source because it's zero cost (and easily available), not because they can theoretically audit or modify it.

> If the maintainer pulls a tantrum and acts unreliable that kills the project from the point of view of any serious user. Until someone else takes over maintenance or it is forked.

There's no single definition of "serious user". There have been projects with no technical issues that are maintained by massive assholes that are widely used, so I would disagree with your statement here.

> This "it's free so you get what you paid for, and if it's shit don't complain because it was free" really rubs me the wrong way. It's a very capitalist mindset that measures everything in money. If there is no money, there is probably no worth, so don't expect any. Accomplishment, dependability, positive net effect? No money, so don't expect it?

1. Unsurprisingly, any discussion within the context of how businesses make decisions or should act is likely to revolve around money.

2. The fundamental issues is that there's a massive disconnect between the worth/value provided by a project to users and the value it provides to the creator.

3. The license dictates what users should expect as far as "what they get" from a library. It almost all cases with open source, they should expect to get nothing, and anything beyond that is a bonus.
