You're confused here, did you read the mathematical definition of your own article?

It has nothing to do with what you think, it starts with the presumption of P(E) = 1 or P(E) = 0 for almost never.

That's not what we are talking about with small probabilities.
Unless you're also okay with Google having root (!) on your phone, it also practically means there's no official package managed source for the binaries. Yes, I can probably grab an apk from some Mozilla domain somewhere (if I can even find it! all their links browseable from mozilla.org simply go to Google Play. The irony of needing to use Google to avoid Google), or I can maybe add an unofficial third-party repo to F-Droid (dangerous! bad!), but if I care at all about sensible concepts like security and regular updates there's no practical way for me to manage it. Even if Mozilla hosted their own official F-Droid repo, that would be better than nothing - but they do not.

Besides, F-Droid is a canary - if you can't get your app into F-Droid, in any capacity, then it's not free software. If you won't do what it takes to get it into F-Droid, you've also staked your colors in the ground - that you don't care about that value system, or about users who have that value system. The message is clear: "Digital serfs only - digital yeomans need not apply".

A great strategy when your industry is in a bubble is to trade your valuable pieces of paper for other productive/hard asset companies.

Yes, but how many people can afford Teslas in order to make a difference? Even in Europe, only the wealthy currently own a Tesla and those are still secondary cars to other ICEs they own. 90% of drivers are still driving 5-10 year old VW Golf like cars.
I admit I haven't checked what Google's messaging offerings are this month.
It's been a concern all that time? "Yellow journalism" was a term coined in the 1890s. Wars have been started by propaganda.

> how did you, for example, simply decide you can't rely on other people's good judgement?

I'm not sure what this means - I find I have to rely on the judgement of others simply in order to get on, as there isn't enough time to evaluate everything myself and it would be irresponsible to conclude that it's all false. That line of reasoning leads to concluding that Chicago doesn't exist because I've never seen it.

But I need to be incresingly careful about whose judgement I trust and in what subjects.
Sounds like a startup opportunity.
podman is one, and it can even work just fine without root permissions.
Seems that if Tesla was able to build its own custom hardware and have it working in 2019, other carmakers which are much larger and profitable would easily be able to do it, if they cared to.
Usually it takes a few decades. But there were times that Samsung and Toyota were unknowns.

I think China’s problem is the Western belief that their tech products are built to spy first and perform second. And that primary functionality could just be removed for the western market.
Tons of classic CISC have strcpy memcpy, memmove, etc implemented as instructions. S/360 and x86 do too. The reason is that the early incarnations didn't have instruction caches, so you could get a ton of perf on these common operations by executing the move almost entirely of out of ucode, therby keeping the instruction fetches from conflicting with the data accsesses and stealing bus bandwidth. Like 2x-3x increased bandwidth typically.
The same approach is being used to enhance the textures of older games, ranging from Doom, Witcher 2, Final fantasy 7, and others. People have turned them into mods [0,1].

I actually showed a few examples on day one of the deep learning course I'm teaching this semester as an emergent application of the technology.

edit: my bad, I missed that this is a guest post; doesn't change my opinion of Perell though. I'd genuinely recommend his newsletter.

He is an "essayist". I'm subbed to his newsletter because he's excellent at finding good reading material, but his original writing is often insufficiently informed (charitably) or arrogant (uncharitably), and in poor style. This boggles the mind, since he sells online instruction in writing.
I do not know.. his UX design seems up to date in that he is applying human behavior to UX

Well, SAP has for long been a money making blackbox for consulting firms. Think IBM, Accenture and the likes. They rake boatloads of money for multi-year contracts to implement SAP systems for companies wanting ERP solutions.
The system is outdated and obscure with both technical and non-technical people having a tough time understanding it. Last time I worked with some interfacing systems to some SAP modules, it still relied on web services, XML and SOAP. No REST support.
Salesforce is on the same road. In a few years, they will spin up more modules apart from CRM, like manufacturing and payroll.

The D3 Graph Gallery
You rent a virtual mobile, landline or toll-free phone number, or a physical SIM, via the website or Android app. The phone number is then yours as long as you keep paying the rental fee. (After you delete it or stop paying, we don't give it to anyone else - we return the number to the upstream phone networks who will, as with all phone numbers, 'quarantine' it for many months and then eventually re-use it.)

You can then send and receive SMS, make and receive calls and send faxes using the numbers via the website or the Android app.

Pro accounts can also make and receive calls via SIP.
> ...and most engineers probably haven’t seen them in the wild.

This is quite a limited view of our industry. I'd agree that young coders focused on the startup community may not have seen it. But it is pervasive in the enterprise world. By all means, pick it apart, analyze its strengths and weaknesses, and compete/disrupt. But pretending it is some unknown thing shows a lack of understanding of a significant market segment.
Well cooking and woodworking definitely won. May I suggest: keep a tidy desk, cupboard, storeroom, backyard? I can achieve the first one, definitively not the others.
>Tesla is selling cards today, Waymo is not.

Tesla sells cars for which FSD doesn't exist, Waymo is using FSD on cars they don't build.

The business models are different. Why is the natural assumption that everyone will own their FSD car?

OK, so the thing to know about "emotional labour" is it's used in at least two ways (that sorta overlap).

Definition 1: Most jobs sometimes require you to demonstrate a certain set of emotions, and if you're feeling differently at the time to succeed you'll have to change gears pronto or be really good at faking sincerity. Some jobs require a lot of this - so much it's the most difficult part of the job.

For example, if you work for a call centre and have to convince people not to cancel their cable service, the company will probably want you to be upbeat and friendly every time you answer a call, while many callers will be frustrated and mad at your employer, and keen to share those feelings with you.

Obviously, every job has a certain element of this - but for some jobs it's a big, difficult part of the job.

Definition 2: The same, but including non-employment activities and reducing the big-and-difficult-part requirement.

For example, I don't much enjoy talking on the telephone, so if I've got to phone several plumbers to get a quote for some work, overcoming that dislike is emotional labour under the second definition.
This is fun. In europe we have jodel which has a big userbase. The quality of discussion varies from location and it's fun to listen in what the locals are talking about.
Elm has been around for a long time and yet it's still pre 1.0. AFAIK there hasn't been, and still isn't, a promise that what you write has any sort of forward-compatibility with the next 0.x release.

On that note, it's interesting that publishers have already put out print books.

Futuristic vistas and cosmic technoscapes: Perry Rhodan Vol. 3000 (2019)
Very cool idea! What I love about C is that all sorts of programming language can talk to its ABI and that it fits well with low level programming.

However it is a cumbersome and unsafe language. This seems like a very nice solution. You can write in a much safer language while producing C code which does not look too alien relative to what you wrote

I have been interested in Rust but thinking it looks a tad too complicated. This may be a happy inbetween.

Hi to all, sorry if someone have already proposed the same thing, but I confess I didn't read all your message. although google has announced the end of app maker due to low usage, and therefore the community will not be so large, I propose to petition (I don't know which is the most appropriate channel) to ask Google, at least to leave active existing projects for at least one more year. Do you think Google can realistically listen to the user community? I want to highlight that we are all customers since App maker must be used with Cloud SQL which is a paid service.
I like how they incorporate an SMT solver. They claim: “all code is proven”. What does that mean? What is proven about the code? Absence of memory bugs, or actual correctness of algorithms?
The problem with is always how do you tell if something is actually fake.

Most of the time it ends up with Truth = Deep Pockets, i.e CNN, NY Times, Fox News, MSNBC, LA Times, etc are all "True" even if they do spread false info.

and Random YouTuber's or Blogs are labeled as "Fake" if if the info is true.

Is it ok to be a jerk to jerks at office?
I was interviewing a new candidate today, and we do it in pairs.

I try to be as nice to people interviewing as possible(given how tech interviews can be pretty stressful).

However, the guy I was pairing with was not only being a bloody jerk, but he was also downright disrespectful(to the extent that he was pressing for an alternative solution to a problem which the candidate solved absolutely fine, and the jerk himself did not know of any other solution).

Should I treat the pig the same way he treated this candidate(just to teach him a lesson) or maybe take the higher road?

Just look at how long ring doorbells has supported this week in * podcasts (Leo Laporte) before the acquisition by Amazon.com. Ithink if you're influential enough,the advertisers come to you.

Also now they've effectively censored you about the dangers of paying to have a spy camera in your house that collects all footage and sends it to law enforcement (and anyone else with access).
>>Also, Twitter is a privately owned platform, not a government or a public square.

This is a terrible argument and people need to stop, at least you did not all use the trite "can't yell fire" non-sense but "they are a private company" is right up there with that.

>>Also, merely classifying data is not preventing its spread,

It is highly unlikely that this stops at just classification and tagging. I am sure there is some element of Suppression as well
There are a number of things you could do. You could look for corroborating accounts. For example (note these are a three part series written by the same person):

You could gather and directly examine evidence yourself:

Ultimately I guess you have to make your own judgement of what kind of ideas and behaviour you deem 'reasonable'. The difficulty, I suppose, is if you yourself are caught up in one of these purity spiralling communities. It's hard to maintain objectivity in such a situation. Delusional people don't know that they're delusional. People caught up in a cult don't think they're in a cult.

I've seen people only come to understand how insane things are when the mob finally turns on them, but by then it's too late to get out unscathed.
I agree with everything you said, they did some pretty neat stuff! the problem is that they started getting things wrong(from the development perspective) somewhere along the way, not sure if due to backwards compatibility or due to massive lock-in's with their own technology.

SAP right now is making a move on cloud using SCP and as open source goes, openUI5 exists.

I don't have much to say about SCP, just that the company I'm on decided to not use it, basically because we don't see advantages and to avoid future lock-ins

About openUI5, I honestly dislike it, the most useful features of that framework are locked inside SAPUI5(a supersetof openUI5) and pull requests are managed by a branch of the company itself and they are pretty harsh on it. SAP documentation on it can be bad and is entirely biased towards deploying things inside SAP or SCP, which is pretty annoying
Not sure what it is supposed to do, but currently it does:

I could've mentioned I'm trans in the parent post.

But I know there is a downvote reflex on this website for merely implying you might be part of a somewhat disadvantaged minority.

Glad to see it somehow ended up at +3.

I should really note that while I initially thought of myself definitely being too weird by default to have any leeway to pick my weirdness, other less distinct people have that too, depending on the field you work in.

Just being a woman in a technical role comes with a lot of people assuming you have no idea what you're doing, and pushing back against that is some of your "weirdness" spent.

(also, it's really weird to slowly male-fail and get put into that bucket too with people you haven't previously worked with, having the means to compare)
Or just use unix domain sockets and named pipes, and then you don't have users complaining that you've used some random port that they want to use for some reason.

But really for stuff like file system access just use the node APIs, don't shuffle this stuff through any hand rolled IPC.
Best way to do it I've ever seen is the automated transactions tax, whereby you replace most taxes with a small percentage taken on every financial transaction (plus a larger one when converting to/from cash to account for the black economy).

It's progressive because poor people will only pay twice (once on their salary/benefits, once when buying stuff), whereas rich people will pay several times when moving money around.
Okay, it's provable... what value do really get out of it? isn't the whole reason why we still use C because it gets so close to resolving (or at least acknowledging) hardware or platform-level implementation problems? we can continue to re-invent the language in isolation but you can't replace a hardware-level programming language in this manner.

GC languages often do and also often do not. Most modern GC languages have escape analysis. So if the compiler can deduct that an object does not escape the current scope, it is stack allocated instead of heap allocated. Modern JVMs do this and Go does this also. Furthermore, Go is way more allocation friendly than e.g. Java. In Go an array of structs is a single item on the heap (or stack). In Java, you would have an array of pointers to separately allocate on the heap (Java is just now trying to rectify this with the "record" types). Also, structs are passed by value instead of reference.

As a consequence, the heap pressure of a Go program is not necessarily significantly larger than that of an equivalent C or Rust program.
Yep. My team wrote this in 2014 or 2015, the features and conf file almost identical. We’d had to extract out of a custom Ansible module to better do the full dance.

Shared the approach with AWS ProServe, Stelligent (now Mphasis), and others as well, also discussed briefly with Atlassian architects probably in 2015-2016 timeframe.

Surprised if this isn’t one of those lots of folks just knocked out and didn’t think much of, and really should be in AWS toolkit.
Hahaha. You hit the nail on the head. I've been sharing this around.
One way to think about it is this: if having good UI in internal enterprise tools was a competitive advantage, companies would move to having good UI.
Well, it's a start. In fact the existing interface lends itself really well to a rolling window on-demand (de)allocator, especially with that New function you can supply.

Just pool could've mitigated your problem at least partially, is what I'm saying.

Writing Integration Tests with TestContainers Java and Golang
I haven't directly read these instructions myself, but I do like this quote from "Most Secret War" by R.V. Jones:

they [the Royal Aircraft Establishment] had at one stage changed the method of packing bombs into crates, with the result that a crate arrived at Farnborough bearing the legend ‘Caution! The bombs in this crate are packed in a different manner from that formerly used. Compared with the old methods the bombs are now packed upside down, and the crate must therefore be opened at the bottom. To prevent confusion, the bottom has been labelled “Top”.’
I like the name. Maybe this should be merged into requests at some point?
Thank you. That was a good read, and gave a few things to think about.

I always wonder about the reality of these kinds of statements. The truth ranges from the optimistic version "we're heavily making use of this software" through "we made use of it a few years back, and are now phasing it out" and "we use it for one or two core services, but everything else is run on Y" all the way to "we have a single instance somewhere we forgot to switch off and we still pay for", etc. This is a bit of a special case, but still, the reality is probably somewhat different than the face value.
