I haven't had DSL for 4 years now. 4G rocks and is cheap, at least in France!
It sucked battery life out of phones, carriers had to pay huge licensing fees for the spectrum and build the new infrastructure and the only promise that it kept was lower latencies and more bandwidth for people using 3G PCMCIA modems for laptops.

Most of the killer features only developed after UMTS with HSDPA.
Have you checked Nim? It's the closest thing to static Python that I know of (plus some extras like Lisp inspired macros), and there is some early development of a machine learning ecosystem (outside of wrappers):

Probably easiest is to use Colab, which supports Swift directly. Otherwise, use one of the approaches shown on the course site: https://course.fast.ai/

(Most data scientists on Windows, including me, use SSH to connect to a GPU server running Linux for training models.)
I also have problems not the same but you need to seek professional help if you have a hard time coping. From your post it appears your job is not the problem but outside factors.

I also suggest reading "Maybe you should talk to someone".

We are rewarded for seeming happy and excited all the time, but often we need people in our life who we can open up to.
I’m a PM and (perhaps not like the others, but) in my mind the standup is not just the status update, the important bit is to convey any roadblocks or problems you’re facing and the team or the PM can assist to resolve them. I think though, that many teams out there probably do not feel comfortable enough to talk about such things and the standup merely becomes the status update bore.
If the leader doesn't even know why they're "standing up", how will anyone benefit from it? Blindly following rules is just sorry-ass incompetent BS. Period.

In my experience, the few periods stand-up works (comedy aside), is when the leader (and noone is gonna do it without one!) understands what is to be gained by the people involved.

Unfortunately, whenever something randomly works, the next random reorg negates that overnight.
> just curious if anyone else is in the same boat.

Yes. Spent a few years building a knowledge base in an offline application. Now I have a new job that doesn't allow me to install software. So all my notes stay at home.

Maybe one day I'll make an export to PDF and use that at work. But I will miss the editing functionality.

On one hand I understand the need to prevent data leaks, malware, etc. On the other hand -- am I supposed to memorize literally everything? Or search everything on Stack Exchange over and over again, hoping that the explanation is there, is correct, and is up to date? Figuring out stuff and making simple notes is my strength. Memory is my weakness. This sucks.

I wonder if it would have been better to install some wiki software on my private website and build my knowledge base online. Reading unknown webs is not forbidden in my current job (the web filter apparently uses blacklists). But maybe in my next job it will be, who knows.
Ubuntu has always tried to be (with mixed success) "Linux for everyone else". At some points that just meant it was relatively easy to install and had a pleasing UI. At other points they've really tried to push their way outside of the primary userbase of Linux. Successful or not, I'm glad someone out there is at least giving it a try. Imagine a world where desktop Linux isn't just for nerds. Where more than one consumer-facing laptop comes with Linux pre-installed, vetted, and actively supported.

FWIW, I learned a few things researching my answer.

(A prime validation for answering questions, BTW.)

My first read was that the old-school ramfs / ramdisk limitations still held. I can't actually even find documentation on them, though I'm pretty sure I'm not dreaming this.

This is insanely concerning... Here's what we're looking at:

* An application with an unknown developer/development team * Running on completely non-verified devices with questionable security
* As the "preferred method" for precinct managers who are largely laymen when it comes to operational security in regards to software
* That's only been reviewed/approved by the DNC

You have folks out there making outrageous claims like:

> Democrat Ruth Thompson, who will chair a Des Moines precinct, said she was not concerned about security risks related to the app. "The Russians don't care what's on my phone"

Given the importance of the Iowa primaries this is outrageously concerning.
I would be delighted. I've even spoken to the Julia core team about it. Hopefully one day they'll make that happen! (Just like we developed SwiftAI thanks to support from Chris Lattner and the s4tf team).
Of course the metro riders also benefit greatly from roads. It’s almost like it shouldn’t be all one or the other.
Which is peanuts for Google.
Hesitate to recommend anything in this particular situation, but one thing I’ve noticed that works for me is: when going through a difficult time, try to maintain stability in other aspects of your life. So relationship breakup -> maintain job and location, for a few months at least, to allow myself to process the breakup without worrying about other things. YMMV.
In a high density area like a city its basically always faster. Also faster if you are going long distances and can benefit from the 200km/h+ speeds.

Probably doesn't work in some urban sprawl American suburb but for more sensible layouts its the best option. Also the best for the environment.
Road wear is dominated by trucks, and we are definitely still buying stuff.
You can set read and/or write permissions, as well as there is also a history which allows rolling back the sheet/viewing changes.
5G is a strategy to replace wireline service and the regulatory limits imposed on them. Carriers selling fixed 5G will be able to monetize traffic more effectively.
Re: " someone wrote a program to swing the heads on one of those old giant hard drives back and forth. At the right frequency...cause the drive to walk away"

On some TRS-80 models I discovered a certain POKE command would make the screen flash, click, and "bounce" the image, similar to a power spike. So in the university lab I wrote up a small BASIC script with a delay timer to repeat "DANGER: Computer Overheating!" as the clicking/flickering increased in rate. I stood back to watch and waited for the timer to kick in. Nearby students would freak out. When the script was done, it deleted itself in case they got the lab assistant to come over. I was a stinker.
Consider doing multi-day trips from your front door during the weekends (bikepacking).

I used to live in Denver and never understood why people would find the need to drive 10 miles to the nearest trails when you could just ride to them. Then I realized, once you're done with those initial 10 miles, you could link up routes that covered practically the entire rest of the state.

Now I'm writing a guidebook on those routes.

Bummer about buses not accepting bikes - that sounds crazy to me. They just don't have room underneath or a bike rack up front? I can hardly understand how that could be true!
How do you disable TSX? I don't see a control register flag or an MSR.
I would assume that in open space you have somewhere around 100 sq ft per person (room for a 10x10 desk and access) and for a closed-in space they would have about 3x that.
Results of any election are never representative of the entire population. That's the nature of democracy. If you have 99.999% of the population voting for the same person (like in Saddam's Iraq), then it's obvious the election was a sham. Democracy is all about the majority getting to choose the leaders.

As for repression, Erdogan didn't do that all by himself. Autocrats like that persist because they have a power structure under them that supports them and keeps them in power. In a democratic country like Turkey, this is supported by the people voting to keep these power structures in place. In short, the majority of the people there do support him. Yeah, it sucks that he repressed minorities, but that's one of the dangers of democracy: if the majority doesn't care about protecting minorities and their civil rights, then the minorities get stomped on. The only thing that makes a democratic system better than a completely autocratic system (like North Korea) is that at least in the democracy, there's a chance the majority will protect the minorities, and whatever institutions have been built in the system of government to do so and prevent leaders from having too much power. But as Turkey shows, and also in Germany in the 1930s, it sometimes falls apart, mainly because the people allow it to.
Hey, no fair, the "A" in "AI" stands for "artificial"!
Maybe, but I think people underestimate the degree to which having a job keeps their lives in order. Self regulation in the sense of no job, daily schedule, and responsibilities when coupled with depression and burnout, is very difficult to navigate. Most people never spend long periods of time unemployed, we arent skilled for it. I also think that burnout can last a long time, longer than you can stay unemployed for. But I can see your point of view, I just think there's a risk.

Another thing to add is tenure on your resume matters, so if you are going through a tough period, and this person does end up getting fired in a year, they still have a two year stint. Much better than one year, people look at this stuff when they suspect the individual has had life difficulties.
Something I think about all the time: “what is the spreadsheet equivalent for this domain?”
There never has been such a time. It has always been a mistake to use a fake domain name, even just on internal networks. This has caused problems as far back as the 90s, e.g. when companies merged and suddenly realized they had conflicting fake domain names upon connecting their networks and now lots of stuff started failing. For more information see: https://jdebp.eu/FGA/dns-use-domain-names-that-you-own.html

So the only time it has ever been safe to name your hosts server1.dev is within the past year, now that .dev is actually live and you can use a real globally unique domain name that you actually own, thus preventing any of the possible issues that have been there all along.

And there aren't any TLDs run by Nigerian scammers. You may be underestimating the difficulty, cost, and technical know how of acquiring and running a TLD.
Although most modern roads do tend to use petroleum products, the asphalt is actually remarkably sustainable as almost all of it is recycled: http://www.asphaltpavement.org/recycling.

It seems like it would be tough to move to another type of material that would actually be more environmentally friendly after considering all the extra maintenance required for a less durable but more environmentally friendly construction.

As others have mentioned, it seems like the long term solution is to move to a less car-dependent society.
How's it built? What languages do you use this with? My biggest concern before starting something like this is the I've thought about scripting the generation of example sentences for myself, but I'm unsure I'd be able to do it in a grammatical way (since I don't know the language, a catch-22).
Lots of shade thrown towards people living in suburbia on here. Maybe not everyone wants to live in a (rented) closet sized apartment in a major city, complete with all the noise pollution, actual pollution, crime rates, and a lingering piss-smell 24/7, and all for the low price of _more than owning a house_?
Same, but different, for New Orleans which already below sea level is sinking a few inches a year. [0] Saving New Orleans and the surrounding coastal areas starts with the soil too.

I think in Linux, if you're using mdadm there is the ability to specify a write journal; all data (i.e. blocks+parity) gets written to the journal first, and then gets cleaned up after everything gets completed successfully, and the journal is replayed after a power failure.

Mind you, for that to work well you'd want a victim SSD with a write speed at least that of the array...

Middle- to upper-middle-class suburbs will still exist, they'll just be a municipality a few miles over, where all the houses and roads are 25 years newer, and the long tail of opex costs hasn't quite hit as bad yet. It will, eventually.

If a suburb can attract some retail or office space or manufacturing, they can be like Irvine or Tysons or Bloomington -- the suburbs that have made it. Those that cannot will accumulate the same problems with fiscal sustainability that inner cities once did.
Some folks also report to having success using cover crops to restore soil, to mitigate the effects of HLB: http://citrusindustry.net/2019/11/18/cover-crops-bring-hlb-r...
The primary downside of gravel is reduced speed, additional downsides are probably some additional vehicle wear, and lower suitability for heavy vehicle. Also, it's louder, and flung gravel can be a hazard, and it's not great for bikes.

The upsides are reduced cost of building, maintenance, and equipment, and better water permiability. Reduced speeds can be a benefit depending on the application.
Yes! This is the important interaction not the update itself but the chance to stop a problem or course correct early.
> There is varying support for Kubernetes resources

I dunno, EKS not having built-in support for Ingress objects is a pretty large and obvious elephant in the room.

I'm not playing this game. I've stated my experiences and suggested the level of interaction I've had with the platforms in dollar figures enough to be comfortable with what I'm saying here.

I'm not familiar with your product, so this question might be either overly simple or entire outside your wheelhouse, but does Sourcegraph have any integration with IDEs? Like if my organization had a module in a repository that did image compression (random example), could I hit a hotkey and search for it, then have the plugin pull the module out of a different project and insert it into what I'm working on?
Hmm, thank you for the response.

In this specific case, X is:

"Personally, my take is the opposite: if you are an ethical person find the very worst company that you are still willing to work for and try to change them from the inside"

with the response, Y: "join ISIS' IT department"

What is the refutation of this particular "X implies Y" you would have used instead? Is there one that doesn't require refining X and instead attacks the Y? X is already

You’re assuming all blockchains are created equal. A new smaller blockchain can pop up and provide better security, finality, and the coin could actually be backed by something.
Please note that “counting” there is really “indexing”, as in 1st, 2nd, etc. Apart from indexing in programming languages, some commenters in this thread seem to have an idea of counting (indexing) real things from zero, as if it solved the -1 problem easily. But that is a natural offset between a quantity and a position. We could in theory rename our ordinals one backwards like: zeroth, first, second, and so on. But that would shift the meaning temporarily, and 0th would become new 1st. With new counting in mind, for an empty set [] count is 0, for [x] count is one and an ordinal for x is “zeroth”, -1 again dammit.

Between 0 and 10 there is 10 one-sized intervals touching 11 connecting/borderline points (integers). You cannot make this fact go away, no matter which language you choose.

The article summary is that since we're in an economic boom, it's more comfortable for now for people to work for the man than do a startup.

Although this is true, the other factors (high debt, health insurance, and rent) will manifest themselves in the next recession.

For example, the 40 year-old US entrepreneur has to decide whether to work for an established company, or do a startup and eat the $2,000/month health insurance for his family. Or just move to Toronto. :)

Tyler's article has some provocative comments, but there's some nuggets in there. The corner orange vendor might not be sightly, but within a block of there is cheap rent.
I love it personally. I think right now those who are using it are using it as their secret sauce. Its essentially what people want from BigTable or one of the other proprietary offerings from the cloud providers, except actually open and free.

I think the biggest reason for a lack of noise about it, is the overhead of learning it is pretty high. You're not going to find folks writing their first "Nodejs + Express" applications using it. Additionally, you really have to know why most distributed databases suck ass to know why FoundationDB is so good.

Example: I have a cluster of three VMs running FDB on my home server, and over the past week I've accidentally hit the power switch three or four times. At no point did I have data loss in the cluster, the cluster "immediately" comes back up, and is ready to go. Adding machines to the cluster is unbelievably easy, especially if you have ever even tried grokking how to horizontally scale PSQL.

I'm close to releasing an Elixir-based Entity Layer which is pretty uhhh, ~~shitty~~ lacking, at this point feature wise, but it does make storing structured data a bit easier. I'm hoping it'll be more useful for helping people learn how to use FoundationDB than something folks are putting into production (though I'm dog-fooding it).

Honestly, most of the people I know who use FF these days are pretty tech-savvy. This wasn't always the case — my mom used to use Firefox. But Chrome/Safari/Edge are the default browsers these days, and they're pretty good. The only people installing other browsers are either pretty savvy, or being helped out by people who are savvy.

I realize that Mozilla perhaps yearns of the days when they had much larger market share (and therefore many more easily-tricked users). But those days seem to have passed.

Likewise, they may be trying to position themselves to become the go-to browser for the unwise masses. And perhaps someday they will retake that crown. But in the meantime, these nanny-state restrictions piss of their developer-heavy base.

Well, clearly they (people who prefer 1-based indexing) don't consider the amount of damage they've done enough.
Oooh. I've been wrestling with this problem for a while now.

Basically I'm working on a tiered system. Files/dirs are categorized by size (<10MB, <25GB, >25GB) , and by sensitivity (public, confidential, secure. And importance is usually proportional to security). I have fortunately found that security is usually inverse to size. Github/lab anything which makes sense. Confidential small stuff (sans keys) is just stored in gmail/drive. Big, boring stuff (music, ebooks) is just kept on external hard drives.

Secure, ultra-important stuff, I don't really have a system for.

The system I'm leaning towards is just encrypt archives and store the key/password securely, and store it like you would any boring data, with a local NAS and a cloud backup service of some sort, or just stored on drives offsite.

Ah. Reading more carefully, I see now that you were saying that as an American it might be better to trust American companies than Chinese ones. Sure, quite probably.

All I'm saying, and I guess this doesn't contradict what you were saying, is that for the rest of the world it makes no difference if we choose American or Chinese equipment since we'll be spied on either way.
I’m no expert but a few suggestions that have helped me in the past: a holiday to clear the mind, work is not your identity you need some free time from it, and it’s important to enjoy work so perhaps a more fun workplace or a change if your boss gives you anxiety? Hope this helps
>> and all for the low price of _more than owning a house_?

I didnt read much judgement in th parent post, but it does imply suburbia is subsidized because it has higher infrastructure cost per dollar of tax revenue. The was a study on that very thing a couple years ago IIRC and they found the most solvent towns and cities are actually the higher density ones even if they are lower income areas.
