I look forward to seeing whether the traffic behavior lasts and to what extent policing will enforce it.

On Boudin, you must be a bit innocent to think that a DA's priorities and stated goals of moving away from incarceration will not flow down to an understanding among police that they are being told to "look the other way" and that their efforts to arrest lawbreakers (their primary tool) are being made hollow and pointless by lack of follow through on the prosecution end.

"...Boudin said he will end cash bail and “tough-on-crime” sentencing enhancements, launch a unit to consider the immigration consequences of prosecutions and stop filing cases stemming from “illegal searches” after a minor traffic violation." -- https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/citys-new-progressive-da-che...

Immigration consequences of prosecutions -- just what do you think this means? People not getting prosecuted.

I don't understand why uber-liberal thinking desires not to have our laws enforced.
I’m pretty sure it’s Microsoft that pressures manufacturers to not offer PCs without operating systems not “Europe”.

I don’t think they ever went as far as threatening companies for selling Linux systems but it’s well documented that they withdrew discounts from suppliers offering OS/2 with computers.
This sounds very counter-intuitive! Did you hear this from someone working at Facebook or did you read it online? If it's the latter it'd be great if you could share a link!
Can anyone recommend a netbook or smaller laptop good for recent release of Ubuntu?
Hm... is there some kind of transit quantization plugin for a VPN like Wireguard? Like maybe data is sent in blocks of small, medium, large, or none.
Also note that the makers of these three products are completely different. The Rafale was helmed by Dassault, the A400M by former CASA (Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA in Spain, now part of Airbus) and the Typhoon by what I believe is a former part of British Aerospace (now also part of Airbus).

Airbus really is a collection of companies, so it can be hard to figure out exactly which part does what. I hope Dassault remains the project manager on the NGF, although in the end spec creep really is the biggest program killer...
I guess that's the issue. We need laws to control what companies can do with personal information, even if it happens to be publicly available. I don't think scraping itself is really the issue. If you used mechanical turk to hire a bunch of people to go look and user profiles and write down information about them, you'd have the same problem.
Not much of a bait and switch when the change is coming after several years.
+1, Informatica was founded in 1993. Teradata in 1979. These are not new problems.

DataWarehousing has drastically improved recently with the separation of Storage & Compute. A single analyst's query impacting the entire Data Warehouse is a problem that will in the next few years be something of the past.
The monolith/microservices discussion always reminds me of this 'Sandboxing Cycle' xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2044/
The Uncle Ben Parker Contrapositive applies: with no power comes no responsibility.

As long as "at will" employment exists, then no contract terms exist, and no labor law can stick to the employer, so long as they are willing to lie whenever there is no contradictory evidence. If the employee gets fired for asserting their rights in the law, and the employer can say it was an "at will" termination, the employee has no effective recourse or remedy.

If you criminalize the work that I do, you are just getting me fired for no HR-disclosable reason (again), and the company will have that work done in another jurisdiction.

If you aren't putting c-level executives and/or board members in prison, and forcibly restructuring or dissolving corporations, you aren't doing anything to protect me, the worker. And if you are placing legal liability on me, personally, I definitely will not testify against my superiors. I know the feces roll downhill.

I was about to be incredulous, but I actually do believe that you would rather have me fired and put in prison, and my dependents thrown in the gutter, than to have a software workers' union or stronger federal labor laws that might possibly protect me from an arbitrary dismissal if I tell my boss "What you are asking me to do is unethical." Thanks for that.
Dota 2 definitely does this for a lot it's RNG. For example, your chance of critically hitting increases whenever you don't critically hit.

Hm, it seems different and more limited than the CarPlay UI. Yeah they really need to expand this feature. I thought you could have arbitrary search, but maybe that's on via CarPlay when stationary. Certainly there were more categories of things on CarPlay.
Totally understand. I have to say that watching the drones getting captured when landing is one of the most futuristic things I've seen. You guys have done some great things in Rwanda - I lived there over the past 4 years, so I have firsthand knowledge.
> Maybe a town has a law saying you HAVE to bike on the road.

I think that's usually the case.

This page [1] says:

> The law in most areas of the country require bicycles to follow the same rules of the road as other motor vehicles. In essence, riding your bike down the sidewalk is the same as if you hopped the curb and started rolling it in your car.

BBC 6 Music. Man, does that station ever have its finger on the pulse. You have to be kind of ready for anything, and it's not always easy listening, but you often get pure gold. Not uncommonly, it'll be music that isn't even released yet, or maybe only exists on the artist's Soundcloud page. As a bonus, quite a few of its DJs are famous people who you didn't know are really into some musical niche.

On the other hand, my friend-who-consistently-finds-cool-music pretty much only listens to Soundcloud, and whatever it recommends. It seems to be the most popular platform these days for a certain type of eclectic artist.

The top level comment is about using brain-chemistry affecting substances to maladaptively cope for difficulties in life. Some people use substances to work around the root cause rather than addressing it head on, which is generally bad.

With alcohol, you can drink and feel loose instead of dealing with whatever's got you stressed and pushing your boundaries. Maybe you can't keep up at work. You should fix that instead of drinking, but drinking lets you get by well enough, so you're less likely to fix whatever's causing the problem in the first place.

With coffee, you can drink and feel alert instead of dealing which whatever's needing your alertness past your boundaries. Maybe you can't keep up at work. You should fix that instead of drinking, but drinking lets you get by well enough, so you're less likely to fix whatever's causing the problem in the first place.

The point is that, yes, many people use mind-altering substances to cope with life and, yes, it can be a maladaptive coping style. But that includes benign stuff like coffee where people would laugh if you suggested outlawing it. So the criteria of "people use this mind altering substance to avoid dealing with problems in their lives" is a bad criteria alone.

You have to put substances along a spectrum from benign coffee to malignant heroin and figure out where to put each substance and where to draw lines of government control. I hope coffee and potentially alcohol establish that a black and white approach doesn't cut it.
Anything that allows sending emails with custom content will attract spammers. We aggressively limited the free accounts, and that still attracted spammers who would just create loads of news accounts to send out emails; we eventually put a stop to it by limiting it to 25 recipients in total, after which they finally gave up (before, it was 25 emails with a max of 10 recipients each, which meant 250 spam emails).
Very common for people to report drones when there are no drones. This is what shut down gatwick airport for 3 days!

Fair; maybe minimum isn't the right word. More like "minimum without full abstraction."

The Keras examples are a good reference (e.g. https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/keras/classification ); even without an AI background, you have a sense of both what's going on how to tweak the model to improve it.
I am in the very fortunate position that despite living way out in the boonies, I have a proper, brick-and-mortar record store of the High Fidelity kind within an hour's travel from home. Both the guys running it have an encyclopedic knowledge of a number of genres, and there's always a few customers browsing the shelves which will merrily question you about your preferences, before veering off on a tangent, getting into a heated argument with the other patrons and the owner as to what record will be the right one for me, we'll put the winning selection on, eager, anticipating eyes on me as the first chords fill the store, awaiting my reaction...

I love that place.

Point is - while Spotify's algorithms are brilliant at determining what music I might like based on similar music I've listened to in the past, I find there's no substitute for enthusiastic, knowledgeable fans.
Engineering Managers Managing Remote Teams
What are some of the unique challenges faced by engineering managers managing remote/distributed teams?
The turnaround time is actually one of the biggest reasons Apple under took this initiative.

Previously, issues were reported to Apple, who then had to vend them back to their data sources (TomTom amongst others). It was up to the data sources to implement the changes.

Now, issues reported to Apple can be immediately acted upon, or compared to other data, or reviewed by employees, or even can be marked for validation during another "drive-by".

> "There’s also the matter of corrections, updates and changes entering a long loop of submission to validation to update when you’re dealing with external partners. The Maps team would have to be able to correct roads, pathways and other updating features in days or less, not months. Not to mention the potential competitive advantages it could gain from building and updating traffic data from hundreds of millions of iPhones, rather than relying on partner data." from [0]

Over the last few years I've found Apple Maps get better and better in the Bay Area. I now default to Apple Maps as its routing, particularly for peninsula to city driving, is always faster/more efficient than Google Maps.
Yea just take the ideas that apply to your problem domain and implement them in a way that's sane. Design/architecture patterns are much more useful as templates to be specialized for your problem.

I really don't like the dogmatic view of architectures. Leaves no room for craftsmanship, and it's only really useful for creating code monkeys that have to follow a spec and need to be interchangeable cogs in the machine.
Which country are you in? I’m in New Zealand and it’s working fine for me here.
Your comment perfectly exemplifies why the blue collar vote in favor of the GOP is so mystifying. 64% of Americans support stricter gun laws, while 29% oppose them. And yet, many of those 64% vote GOP because they are convinced the DEM are going to confiscate/ban/etc.. That kind of noise comes exclusively from the GOP themselves. Believe me, some jerk signed me up for NRA e-mails once. It is a constant barrage (even today) that OBUMER is gonna take yer guns and herd you into a FEMA camp and DONATE NOW!! In reality, actual DEM proposed legislation places controls on certain features that increase likelihood of successful mass-killing (fully auto, bump stocks, very high capacity mags) and increases background checks.

Regarding abortion, the general consensus among DEMs is that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare. Rare to be obtained by increasing the social safety net for having a kid is not such a profoundly negative economic consequence.

I find it difficult to understand how such positions could be considered "opposite" of "things that empirically matter most to middle America"
Basically if you can’t do monoliths well, you can’t do microservices well either.

However, using more services and being less concerned about the servers underneath is an opportunity that shouldn’t be ignored.
So what you're saying is that if you're offering a free plan as a business, you can never change it?
I'm not even sure they could do that. What would be the difference between that and some megacorp issuing a takedown-request for an internal document leaked by the press?
But it only took me half a decade of professional development to feel closer to the goal than ever before. Thanks, Haskell job.

Having worked with Vladislav Zavialov on both proposals and GHC itself, I can say he's great to work with and has excellent taste in design.

Ahah! Thanks for this.

Quite the self-fulfilling prophecy there.

Systems can and should be evolved and adapted over time. E.g. deploying components of the monolith as separate services. You can't easily predict what the requirements for your software going to be in say 10 years.

And depending on the stage a company is, easy access to data for business decisions outweighs engineering idealism.
That's an interesting point, but because browsers decided not to use HTTP/1.1 pipelining and encrypted SNI is still only an optional thing in TLS 1.3, the clean signal you get from the separate connections, each of which is tied to a hostname, makes these attacks extremely cheap and "practical" in a way that isn't quite as true when you are dealing with commingled data from all of the user's simultaneous connections, many of which might be to the same host; like, seeing "the user requested 32 map tiles with these individual sizes" is very different from "the user requested a bunch of map tiles--maybe 32ish--and they total in size to this amount... that or they are watching a YouTube video". This article might be a lot more valid once the web has upgraded to HTTP/2, particularly if it manages to adopt encrypted SNI.
Seems like the cloud services are complex enough that you're paying someone to manage them anyway.
Is there any other service instead of Mailgun who can also receive/resend incoming mails? I didn't find anything nice. thank you.

So under the guise of spam protection, we have created an oligopoly of email gateways, despite sending an email being an utterly trivial, long solved problem, and now those companies are putting the squeeze on.

The best part about this particular item on the list of "things that have only gotten worse over time": they charge companies more to deliver what is essentially spam, and they conspired to make that spam show up in inboxes and "enhance" it with all sorts of tracking.
> What I hate most about Apple Maps is that reports about incorrect data never seem to go anywhere.

Wow, I've had the opposite experience. I've only used it a handful of times, but when I've reported incorrect phone numbers and such, it's always been fixed in just a few days, and I receive a notification through the app that they've done it. I found the experience to be impressively fast and painless. Sorry to hear it's not that way for everyone!

Where are you located, and what version of the OS were you running when you reported these things? For reference, I live near Palo Alto, and it's possible they are more responsive to requests here. I have only reported issues recently, with iOS 12/13.
Dumb question maybe... but why would you not just configure this yourself on a single virt/host? Most of these services would take less than a day to configure. So many questions on why this is a good thing.

Like, there are countless ways to configure your MTA and spam filtering- if you are going to have to dig through this config.. why not just roll your own?

Can someone explain to me why you need ansimble for this? or am I just being stupid and this is like an exercise to show what the toolchain can do?
My favorite feature of Google maps is asking how i rate the directions before I get there. You know, right at the last mile while you're still trying to get where you're going.

I think the question here is whether it's easier to take risks now versus a generation ago.
Althoug I believe this is a good thing for Lenovo to do I think being suspicious of Lenovo's actions is definitely warranted after all the shenanigans with Superfish - reinstalling the OS from a trusted source is definitely the way to go.
That wouldn't be a microservice then.

There's going to be a relationship between data in your services, but it shouldn't be directly referential.

Replacing Redux with Observables and React Hooks
My first job over a decade ago was managing a photo lab. The x-ray machines would often damage film that people traveled with. Amateur photographers just weren't aware. The damage typically looks like white fuzzy diagonal lines across the image. It's not enough to completely destroy a picture, but it'll ruin it. The most common widespread damage we saw were people that bought like 50 disposable cameras for their Caribbean wedding, then brought them back home to get developed.

The worst overall damage we had at that lab was when high school kids would run customer Tri-X film through the C-41 lab. That would completely wipe the film, no recovery whatsoever possible.

My client is doing a lot of it wrong. To be fair, they got sold a lot of really horrible and ridiculous advice from IBM consultants (is there another kind?), but they also have people in charge (organizationally and technically) who aren't great decision-makers.

As the article says though, you can't fix a people problem (bad engineering practices and discipline) by going from one technology to another (monolith to microservices).
Altria stock slammed as Juul stake leads to another multi-billion charge
And if that is what the article said, I wouldn't be annoyed; but it went out of its way to claim that people wouldn't know what pages you were visiting, and that's a naive misinterpretation of what encryption is buying you.

Also want to add that's still better than the EU's parliament balance between its members; Malta has 81,000 citizens per MEP versus the UK's 925,000 per MEP.

You never want to be the second (or the third) surname when naming equations, companies, and I guess, cow breeds. Just look at Black-Scholes, PwC, among countless others.
I see the comment I replied to was edited. It originally started off with "Genuine question: do people use film anymore" or a very similar statement. I don't believe that was a genuine question, because it is very well documented that people do.
Came here to say 6Music too. It's an absolute goldmine and I've discovered some great stuff on there (Nils Frahm, Hannah Peel, Anna Meridith, Erland Cooper, Big Thief). I'm more into contemporary instrumental stuff these days but enjoy other genres, too.

I usually listen to Mary-Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft, Guy Garvey, Cillian Murphy whenever he's on. Which DJs do you recommend on there?
(Old headline for reference: "Old People Have All the Interesting Jobs in America")

I think the title of this of this piece is poor and doesn't reflect a great question buried in there.

The piece reflects on how many high achieving young people choose finance, management consulting, and law and laments how those positions are low risk, high reward. The author implies it would be better for America in the face of slowing scientific progress to see young, smart individuals employ their skills in fields like chemistry or materials science.

A great question to be had is what can be done to encourage people to undertake high risk, high reward fields? I agree with the authors point that in a prisoners dilemma style way, at any given point in a young smart persons life, they may be inclined to undertake those professions (consulting, law, finance).

An important question to be asked covered by a poor headline
