Reminds me of the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 disk firmware problem. This was a model of hard drive back in 2004-2005 that had a known issue where it would corrupt it's own firmware. The disk would literally overwrite and corrupt portions of firmware code which would render the disk unusable. Heat seemed to exacerbate the problem, and the problem caused the disks to generate a lot of heat so it was self-perpetuating.

I worked at a hospital at the time, and we were upgrading from Win2k to WinXP, and replacing a lot of old HP Celeron 733 MHz systems with newer HP dc5000 AMD desktops. We deployed roughly 1,000 desktops over the course of a year and a half, and fully 25% of the systems that had a DiamondMax Plus 8 had disk failures within the first 6 months of deployment. Symptoms were always the same. System would get slower and slower until one day it would hard reboot itself and then claim there was no disk drive installed. BIOS would show the disk drive was present but that it had no capacity or name. Built-in BIOS self test would report a code 7 error.

It got bad enough that we refused to deploy systems that shipped with those drives. Our manager had to fight with the sales rep for about a month before they relented. We were ready to go to Dell just to get away from those stupid disks.

You can still find disk recovery sites talking about the issue: https://vitaldata.ca/article/n40p-data-recovery.html
Seriously. Good luck arguing for 400k total comp in Kansas or wherever when there are local engineers perhaps even senior to you who’ve been happily working for upper 5 figures all their career.
Also, CLAs are yet another stumbling block for contributors. Many people that could easily contribute to a regular GPL/BSD project per company guidelines might be prevented from doing by the need to effectively sign a contract or might need to involve comapny legal department.

That's a correct read of the article, but since that fact was self-reported by Epic it may not be the true cause of their withdrawal from GCS.

All that said, cross-cloud data links are relatively easy to establish - just like linking in data from someone else when everyone had on-premises servers.
I meant causally.
It can do the same stuff in a lot of cases. It won't scale as well but that is a different discussion. You can always find things another OS can't do.

OK, so between this exchange and a revisit of the article, maybe I think I see:

Conflict itself is not the signal of beef-first culture. Pitchforks aren't either, nor being able to pick out Mooks and Knights. All of those things can be done in the service of values.

Beef-first thinking involves personal/tribal status as first above all other values, perhaps even practically driving out all other values.

And personal/tribal status aren't really inherent values, they really only exist in contrast to some Other. Which means they're inherently tied to actively sustaining conflict.

Your great-grandparents were right, it's just hard to imagine listening to radio with family being "destructive", when today people have less friends than ever and are literally choosing Netflix, video games, and pornography over having a social life.
Probably because (1) mostly it works; they have the right prices a lot of the time (or, shall we say, correctly marked-up prices relative to the real prices) and (2) as for the remaining situations, they are just your usual tech sociopaths who like disrupting for its own sake. The site operators doesn't care about the restaurant, or the ground-level courier who has to deal with a tense situation, or the customer.
Sure, you could have a dusty useless ranch that produces nothing until you pound the dirt and black gold floweth, or win the lottery, but these are the most likely options today.
I think some of this is when you're first exposed to a new genre of art/entertainment, you don't really know how to explore it and everything kind of looks or sounds the same.

You see what's unique about the overall style over and over, and you don't yet see what's unique about each work, so the art form seems simplistic and repetitive even if it is no more so than others you already enjoy.
> “Imagine traditional restaurant pricing,” Aranita explains. “30 percent labor, 30 percent food cost — not to mention all the other fees of running a restaurant. If 30 percent also goes to delivery, that can negate any profit. We have these services because we sell more food through them, obviously, but the system is such that profits through them are low.” The profits are so thin that Poi Dog no longer offers fresh ahi tuna or salmon poke on their catering and delivery menus.

Very interesting. I never considered that the economic dynamics of food delivery might suppress the quality of restaurant food, but it seems obvious in retrospect.

I was operating a fairly large AWS operation, and had the idea to at least check with G Cloud if they were interested (usually you get a boatload of free credits to startups).

After 3 emails spread over several months I eventually got a note saying I should expect to talk with my Google Cloud salesguy, but it can only happen over a Hangout. And not any hangout - they sent a cheap ass Android "netbook" that I had to physically go to the post office to get, that the Hangout call was supposed to happen through.

I did get it from the post office, noted that it took minutes to start up, then gave it away and never heard from GC again.
J fixed the second problem you have with APL, and many people think that was a mistake. What do you think the better version of lisp/apl/whatever would actually be? I get the idea of a simple 1 + 2, but that doesn't express all the power of what makes lisp lisp.

Why doesn't industry recruit postdocs more aggressively? It's a large pool of smart, hardworking people, most of whom don't have stable or well-paying jobs.

I work in a reasonably hot area (neuro/ML), have relevant skills (Python, C++), and a decent pedigree, but I think I've talked to ~3 recruiters ever—and two of them were introduced to me by a mutual friend.

Epic being concerned about a giant gaining too much power? That's cute.
>Like we're all waiting for something, anything to happen.

I’ve noticed this trait in myself, beginning with hurricane Katrina. Half the world away, I immersed myself in New Orleans local live news streams, radio, webcams, blogs and forum threads from on-the-ground folks. I had a period of about three days solid obsessively scanning for new information.

There have been several other events that I responded to in similar ways, including the last US election and that airliner that got shot down over Ukraine a few years back.

The guilty enthusiasm you mention was present each time. The event is almost always something disastrous, yet the ‘rush’ to dig for information and get a sense that you’re witnessing unfolding major events is compelling.

I once got drunk with a German friend and, lacking all tact, lamented that the world hadn’t been very exciting since the end of WW2 and that it felt like we were overdue for something similar. I don’t think the point I intended to express was the one that registered with him, understandably.

Do you do the thing where worrying global stuff unfolding (e.g. North Korea’s periodic Sabre rattling) triggers you into obsessing about prepper SHTF stuff for a while? I feel like there’s a connection between the behaviours, but my sample size is only 1 currently.
There is an argument for conservation that is hard to dismiss. A lot of artefacts were found in countries that are currently unstable or otherwise struggle to care appropriately even for what they already hold. Repatriating everything would likely mean, in most cases, a reduction of publicly-available material (as more stuff is simply removed from view due to lack of funds), and at worst destruction or loss (Syria being the most famous example, but even Greece during the crisis was reportedly considering selling a lot of their artefacts).

As much as I’d like the Louvre gutted of its looted contents, I am pretty sure that returning yet another Leonardo painting to Italy or yet another marble statue to Greece, will just satisfy the basest nationalist instincts (which will probably move on to some other complaint a minute later) while impoverishing the global public.
Might want to specify which Epic. I was left wondering in what way Fortnite was connected to Google Cloud integrations.
Whale research using the 'SnotBot' drone
Azure does appear to be quite wide-spread, I think microsoft has always been a very glom-y company with a very high network effect from using multiple of their products in tandem. The healthcare market isn't nearly as startup friendly as others and a lot of the movers and shakers directing company direction are likely to be more familiar with the business sides of things than pure dev folks - I think that naturally slides into an MSFT preference since those folks will be using all flavours of office and at least some portion of dev talent will need to be MSFT folks who can work Access/TSQL/VB magic and make the spreadsheets work.

Lastly, all three of AWS, Azure and GCS do try and make a big deal of their HIPAA compatible instances, but whatever the compliance officer at a company is used to is what will get by the easiest - honestly anyone who has a compliance officer that is happy to accept a non-on-premises solution should count themselves as lucky.

All that said - I'd be amazed if MSFT hasn't invested heavily into advertising to cement this decision, but I'd also be surprised if AWS hasn't been trying to dump even more money in there - google just seems a bit clueless when it comes to the convention game and these sort of closed circles where everyone plays golf on tuesdays.

We are talking about current prisoners, not ex-convicts. Prisoners are generally not allowed to access social media outside the US, either. Are you saying that they should be, because it would help with their rehabilitation?
And, yet, here you are talking with other people all over the world for free.

Someone older than me, of the hippie generation, once said to me "There were like three TV channels and they went off the air at 10pm. If you were still awake after that, there was nothing to do but sex and drugs."

I strongly suspect the 24/7 availability of free entertainment, live online discussion, etc is a large contributing factor to the trend towards celibacy. I don't think this is a bad thing. And it's being achieved without some preacher putting the fear of God in you and telling you impure thoughts will get you an eternity in hell.
Well, there's also a lot of other parallels to draw, right? For instance, rape can cause PTSD but consensual sex usually does not so prima facie I wouldn't jump to the spontaneous abortion carrying the same results as one induced at the request of the carrier.
Technology creates more jobs than it destroys in China
At Sutter, every machine is Windows and runs Epic integrated. Epic is much more than EHR. It’s a hospital layer sitting ontop of Windows. Naturally, it integrates with Active Directory and I can see why Google would have little dominance.

Saying that, I wonder if Epic has a plan to go after smaller players who might be using Google Apps and fears google’s dominance.

They can:

1. Always quote the right price to whoever places the order; don't let them hang up without being informed. Don't assume that it's a regular patron who knows the prices, or the direct consumer who has checked the correct website.

2. Learn to identify unauthorized delivery agents (caller ID, voice, etc) and insist that they pay up-front before the meal is prepared.

3. Call people back on their apparent numbers to take their orders. That will eliminate most caller ID spoofing. "Hang on; what is your first name? I will call you back at xxx-yyy-zzzz, is that okay?" Failure to reach a person of that first name with the same voice and and all -> no service.

Voice verification! I did this when operating dial-up BBSes in the 1980's! Account applicants had to leave their name and phone number; I'd call them back and then activate their account after exchanging a few words. That got rid of a lot of the "anklebyters".
If I need this right now no matter the outcome, what do I need to do?
Right, so you’re taking the least generous interpretation of the OPs statements and concluding they broke the law.

Please don’t that, it’s bad faith and needlessly divisive.
Yes it totally doesn't make sense. The coins are worth so little now. Also making pennies adds $2m a year to our trade deficit with China.
I've never heard anyone use "knighthood" to colloquially describe lesser Commonwealth honours. (Here in Australia, certainly, we've gone back and forth on whether we have knighthoods, and when the Abbott Government briefly reintroduced knighthoods a few years ago it was a huge deal - and very distinct from other grades of honours.)

The journalist is American, presumably, and the US doesn't have direct equivalents to the hierarchical orders that Commonwealth countries have, so maybe they just assume that knighthood means something much broader than it does.

I think AWS is also going to start seriously suffering from their terrible billing experience pretty soon.

I think the quality of your experience with dating apps for any given dating app will depend on 1) where you live (are you in an area with a high or low LGBT population density) 2) who you are looking for (very hard to find people if you are, for example, a trans or non-binary person looking for other trans or non-binary friends) and 3) how much time you invest (it can take hours just to get conversations started, and more time before you get to actually meet people). This applies whether you are looking for friends or something else.

Right, but they're doing so without any kind of permission. They're either taking orders and not delivering them or in some cases taking them, buying the item from the restaurant and selling it to the end consumer.

I would think that might require a different kind of license, if it is legal at all, because the restaurant doesn't have any contractual control over what happens to the food after it leaves the premises in terms of storage time, temperatures, etc.

If the menus are outdated, the delivery service may not even know what's in the food.
Dahl wrote rust bindings for V8 and Deno itself is a rust project.

You can think of it as a large rust wrapper around C++ Javascript runtime.
Isn’t React pretty old now, as far as web technologies are concerned? Like, it’s established, battle tested and has a relatively low bug count?
I don't necessarily agree with this. Running on servers was not a priority for Linux but it took off in servers. I think part of this is because a lot of people tried Linux at home, liked it a lot, and then brought it to work. Kind of like how iPhones got adopted in big companies.

I am worried that if FreeBSD completely ditches the desktop side completely, it will become one of the OSes that the next generation of developers would not even encounter unless it happens to be used at their jobs.
Well, yeah, you can run Epic anywhere that provides Windows VMs. I can't imagine any hospital choosing Google right now—many systems are just coming around to the idea of cloud-hosting being viable (they've had to justify that sunk datacenter cost somehow), and Google's track record and uncertainty with the longevity of GCP would make most CIOs nervous (rightly so, IMHO).
Even beyond the comment on her mental state, this is an unnecessarily condescending comment. It both refers to her with a name she no longer uses and assumes a marital status when none is ever implied. The decent way to refer to her would be Ms. Turing. Believing she isn't of sound mind should be an even stronger reason to afford her this tiny kindness of respect.
Closest I can think of is tortious interference. They're interfering with a contract btw the restaurant and a third party, although the contract part could be tricky.
I agree.

To me the GPL is clear: You can USE the software for anything, but you have legal responsibilities if you redistribute it.

The dual license scheme seems like a good way of letting people buy their way out of the responsibility part, and generating revenue to help maintain the software.
I'm not sure I understand yet:

1) Restaurant takes order over the phone (and may quote the total price to the ordering party).

2) Restaurant makes food.

3) Courier arrives to deliver food.

4) Courier pays restaurant for food.

5) Courier delivers food to customer.

If there is a mispricing problem, shouldn't that get solved in Step 4, where the restaurant doesn't give the courier the food until they are made whole?

Historically, you only found high levels of intellectual engagement in big cities, at big universities. But thinking deeply requires peace and quiet and control over your schedule. Intellectuals have a long history of trying to get away from it all so they could read, meditate, etc.
