>Matter settled?

Of course not. Now in addition to putting the criminals responsible on trial for the murder of the residents of Rostov-on-the-Don, I'm going to add charges for the murder of the residents of Miami. Might even invite Russian prosecutors over to get in on the trial? Who knows?

In any case, once the criminals are executed, the matter will be settled.
Do you have any official references for this roadmap? There are several comments on this page alone that try to debunk the 'road to microkernel' plan. If you don't have any reference, please edit your comment and insert 'I think' into proper places.
There's no need to get defensive over this. One can do both.
I believe that the distinction is functionally useless because it is incredibly subjective in many contexts. No authority exists that can claim with certainty what side every argument sits on in that fairly limp dichotomy.
Interpret what you want. The comment was upfront very low effort and derogatory.

Wacom makes premium products for professionals, is a vendor for their premium digitziers and uncontroversial. You don't need two minutes to find what products they make to find that ADs are not remotely viable on the hardware.

The comment was hastily posted and lazy and for that one can assume that the poster did not own the products and I was correct, so read what was posted before coming to your conclusion that what my comment was done in bad faith.

Nowhere else in article or comments under it has anyone mentioned the possibilty of ADs on a drawing tablet or the digitizer hardware they provide for many products outside of their own. It is like saying because you bought a Mac that Apple can use your data for advertising even though they explicitly said they use it for product development.

There is no strong interpretation or defense of that person's comment. If you have a strong interpretation of that post that you want to add, put a comment with the interpretation or go to another and ignore this one thanks!
> I figure if we did get to a thousand or ten thousand users, we could recruit the DevOps talent to pull this off before the bills kill us!

How do you plan on recruiting DevOps talent? Do you have funding to pay them?
VueJS and Elm are not the same thing. Vue is just a JS library. Elm is a an entire language with its own tools and ecosystem.
All you need to know is that they could have done this in any number of ways and an app was definitely the most complicated way. It is fishy.

An accusation isn't necessary.
No I don't but I didn't claim that.

Whereas you did claim that speech to text and translation were about as good 20 years ago. Basically, to use your chemistry analogy... you're saying "Haber Bosch was nothing new, Cavendish produced the same kind of results hundreds of years ago!"
I’ve been writing code for a while now, but have always meant to share more. Also write once in a while...

TLDR;

I wrote some python+SQL to move data from Redshift to Snowflake:

https://github.com/jimmylowell/rs_to_sf

This would not be possible without:

https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-redshift-utils/blob/master...

I edited "v_generate_tbl_ddl.sql" to convert Redshift data types to Snowflake. The script will CREATE the table(s) in Snowflake, UNLOAD from Redshift to S3, and finish with a COPY into Snowflake.

Default values+sequences are not brought over. The SQL file has some comments on how to get them from Redshift in Snowflake format, but I (un)fortunately do not have access to a RS instance anymore for further development. When using this at my job, I would edit the SQL to get sequences first, then make sure I had the DDL to include default values. Some REGEX was involved. You could then run this script without creating table ddl and load data with table sequences and default values! I tried to include this along with several other improvements on the github page, but again, I am brand new to sharing my code. : )

Thanks for reading!

The state has pressing police interests in maintaining public order. Licensing illegal immigrants significantly reduces the number of unlicensed and uninsured rivers on the road.

Helping ICE with extremely selective, often violent, enforcement does not serve those interests. It will not serve the ends of New York State. If those databases are turned over to ICE, folks will refuse to apply for licenses, for fear of being murdered in their beds.

Federalism is a bitch that way. You have to occasionally live with state and federal interests that do not align.
Wow, that's fantastic to hear. I quit messing with Hackintoshes quite a while back, as I just couldn't afford to risk messing around with a daily driver work machine. This could get me back into it.
Famous Place in Nepal
That doesn't line up with your original argument

You said MacOS got better performance in realtime audio

Just because it's what musicians "get to" use doesn't make it better. It makes it a standard
Your statement was that audio latency is lower on OSX compared to Linux, and you cannot back that up. We all know that the prevalence of Linux DAWs in the studios are low. But that would only be related to OSX having the lowest latency if latency was the only thing that ever mattered to professional studios. Which it’s not.
I'm not perfectly okay with what you are suggesting (and that's okay of course).

But essentially, coming from a 3rd world country where censorship was the norm before Internet came along, and seeing how TLS and DoH is giving similar states like China a headache, I have to say that I am extremely happy, but concerned.

I believe it is a regulatory problem. In essense, make collecting data punishable but personally (i.e. Person X signed on decision to collect data, person X gets jail time)

I know that's probably not even remotely possible because employees "operate on behalf on the company" but removing that shield will effectively eliminate this. The same way dumping stock at a company means the FTC/SEC/FBI will have you ass on a platter, personally.
What makes you think it’s worse exactly?
Right. In New York, unlike most states, REAL ID is both optional, and not offered unless you go out of your way to get it.

You can still get a "normal" driver's license without any rigmarole. And that's fine with me. I have no reason to convert to a "REAL ID"

(I already have to carry a passport for international travel, why do I need a "special" driver's license to satisfy the feds?)
There's def a crowd using Ubuntu studio.
First of all, congratulation for finishing your book!

I've read the TOC and looks really interesting. Is the content accessible for your average software engineer who never touched ML in his career? (like me)
Who said you said that? If you had done the research you would have not mentioned ADs. Where in the world does one get the idea they can places ADs on the hardware? Your commentary looks very very low effort snide attempt at humor. There is zero substance in the post as there isn't anything to discuss in it.

> Wacom’s privacy policy does say that they only want this data for product development purposes, and on this point I do actually believe them.

That piece from the post alone makes me wonder if you read that in the post as well before you commented. There are many things one can do with data, assuming they could use it for advertising with no reasoning behind it is very low effort.

As an example in the case of Lehman Brothers their bankruptcy didn’t affect retail customers who were protected by the SIPC and whose investment accounts were quickly move to other brokerages.

But it’s not always so sanguine. To find a bankruptcy with commingled prop and customer funds you need only look to MF Global. To find a retail brokerage bankruptcy with commingled funds you can go “Wolf of Wall Street” and look at Stratton Oakmont.

And despite how smooth everything turned out for Lehman there was a period of a day or two for some retail guys where it wasn’t exactly clear where your money was.

This is much harder than simply opening the netflix app built into your TV.

I'm bothered by the netflix quality every time I use it, but the hassle to download the movie before hand, connect my laptop to the HDMI, need to get up to control it, need to get up to move the mouse to make it disappear, etc. makes it a non-option. Sure there are solutions to those problems, but they're also work.

I've moved most of my domains over to Cloudflare. I had been with GoDaddy for something near 20 years. I got tired of paying their steep markup on renewals, watching the price go up year after year (once upon a time GoDaddy was considered a relatively inexpensive registrar). I also like the free information redaction offered with Cloudflare.

In my experience, licensed handymen and contractors aren't much better. It sure is good to know that, while cops in many cities are giving up going after "low level" property crime, they are now so bored that they've got conduct elaborate sting operations on people for using a wrench on someone's leaky pipe without a license.
So what, could this be a key aspect of Israeli influence in the US? I mean, through entrapment of politicians.

I don't know anything about Mossad. But I do know that sexual blackmail was a key tool of the KGB. Along with simple greed, of course.

Nature Crave Keto
Regardless of the way that the keto diet is the most affecting weight decrease plan of this minute, there are as of recently a few people out there that are getting results, yet those results aren't happening as brisk as they'd trusted, or they're not as energetic as they'd trusted. That is the clarification a reliably developing number of people are swinging to upgrades like Nature Crave Keto diet pills. Eating less low quality sustenance isn't the comparable for everyone, and a few people have a less astounding time with it than others. In the occasion that you'd like more information about this improvement, essentially keep breaking down our Nature Crave Keto study! Regardless, in case you grasp that you need the #1 keto pill beginning at now, click any of the relationship on this page, and they'll take you sensible to the business structure to show your deals.
On the contrary, the pirated media I've seen has been by far the highest-quality. It doesn't have to be delivered live, so encoding can be more efficient, and the source is almost always a 4k blu-ray or whatever else is the best that can be bought. In many cases it's even better than playing it through a DVD player because your computer uses better codecs.
Gonna take a wild guess and say old mainframes and COBOL. When I trained at St. Lawrence, they were training us on that for the Ontario government, since they had a heavy reliance on that style of technology. It was way cheaper to continue to train fresh and ignorant new students to learn the old ways than to convert to anything new and decent.

Once installed in the Ontario government, there was kind of a divide between people who wanted to move on up to the Federal government (seemingly they were not concerned about skills not being transferrable, hence my guess on COBOL and old mainframes being in use), and the other half who wanted to just put in their time in one place and collect their paycheque and pension.

Also, can confirm on the expensive contractors. IBM in there pushing Rational Rose and hardcore waterfall did nobody any favours at all.
The older I get the more I think that zoos are not ethical. We should instead maintain and increase wilderness areas and if humans want to see animals they should be going there or maybe watch Webcams. It’s just not right to keep animals that are used to roam large areas in small confined areas. It’s pretty much guaranteed that they will develop psychological problems. And most people who have had extended contact with animals will agree that animals have emotions and personality. They can be happy, disappointed or depressed.
I suspect some of the recent layoffs may be related to the overall economy.

The Towers Financial Ponzi scheme you're referring to could only have netted Epstein $475 million, in reality much less because he would not have collected the entirety of investor losses. It's clear he controlled much more money than that.

Also, I think it's still just an allegation from Epstein's partner Steve Hoffenberg that he came away with anything from the ponzi, which would be quite a stunning turn of events given that the SEC strangely elected to not to prosecute him for the Towers Financial outcome at all. Aside from your post I've only ever heard the idea suggested on Epstein conspiracy podcasts like Ed Opperman's.

Also, I see your account was created just this evening. How's the mood in the Wexner mansion these days?
It all depends on what really happened.

First off, he may have had no involvement with intelligence whatsoever, or beyond being interrogated after his arrest.

If the intelligence agencies did set all of this up and told him to get real underaged girls (rather than actors pretending to be underaged) to blackmail people, or knew this was happening and allowed it to continue for so long, that'd actually be big. That's state-sponsored child sex trafficking and rape. But there are so many other possibilities in between that and "no involvement".
I don't have a horse in this race. And I don't like the current immigration laws, I'd rather have legally open borders.

Steel won't actually be great for nukes because the primary radiation is neutrons. The steel will probably become radioactive. But then the steel will be good at blocking that radiation.
GPUs are kind of interesting, because the kernel space part of a GPU driver is managing the MMUs, and a lot of microkernels see MMU management (even of devices) as still one of their core roles. It's basically a really legacy IOMMU inside most GPUs. Split off a user space process to kick off command list execution and respond to interrupts (most of the rest of the kernel driver these days), and I can totally see a microkernel with GPU drivers in it still being ideologically pure.
Thanks a lot for the prestigious blog post to resolve my (and someone else's) question in Github. The options of 1 to 3 may resolve the question in some technically practical way, but I'm afraid it is hard to be used in production environment. Especially, the option 3 causes services to be rebooted out of scheduled operation plans, which will impact on the SLA eventually. I warmly look forward to your next blog post of option 4 which may be more complex but more practical.
In the 1980s, I read a book ("The Third World War" by General Sir John Hackett, IIRC) that speculated on how a West vs Soviet war might unfold. Facing conventional-forces defeat, the Soviets launch a single nuclear missile as a "warning shot" (vs. Manchester, IIRC). The Allies carefully choose a similar Soviet city in size and strategic importance (Kyev) and nuke it. The nuclear exchanges end there.

It's an interesting book, but it did not age well. His predictions about alliances and spheres of influence were way off (he expected Sadat's Egypt to be the Mideast's Soviet bastion and the Shah's Iran to be the Allies' counter, for example).
We had a very serious performance issue resulting in crashes across our fleet of macs that was ultimately traced back to an endpoint security solution that was patching the kernel and doing dumb stuff.

IT might kill government. It has just the right mix of difficult to predict, measure and evaluate technical competency etc. wherein a small project can blow up to $1 Billion dollars.

This is where Western Governments are actually corrupt, but it doesn't show up in Corruption Transparency Index.

I'm not ideologically a 'small government' person, but I have absolutely no faith in our government's ability to do anything reasonable in IT.

Sometimes I think we need 'government in a box' IT solutions. Sadly, even if we did, they'd still labour over them in some way and make it expensive: the whole point is for vast cadres of the civil services, and consultant/lawyers etc. to suck money out of the system.

You can say you don't like VMware and that's ok. But I remember when I first used it in the 90s and it was absolutely mind blowing. They needed to do slightly crazy things in kernel mode to get that done.

I worry if there is a hypervisor implementation monoculture where everybody is wrapping the same kernel interface, we lose some possibility for a better implementation.

Or if some problem of the future, not VMs, some day requires kernel hacking, but this is artificially locked out. Apple is choosing to not have that innovation happen on their platform. Seems short sighted.
