I was about to say same thing. I remember I had to recover some files off the diskette, and oh boy it was frustrating. That feeling when you start copying a megabyte-size file and just sit there staring at the screen for five minutes - we forgot how bad it used to be.
> “I'm going in there with "Hey, fix your shit or I'll have a new job next week that pays more from day 1, and you will search the next 6 months for my replacement and train that person another 6 months before (s)he's somewhat productive."”

What a strange, toxic way to look at the world.

We’re just people! People who are hopefully working at a company that has a mission they believe in, who are trying to do the best work they can.

Sometimes a manager sucks, sometimes the employee sucks, but there’s never a single person to blame, nor is it up to a single person to “figure shit out.”

The more people realize that we’re all in this together, the better.

And if you’re jaded about thinking in that way, you’re just not at the right company.
Well that's bloody ironic isn't it... That the government ensured that the 407 cameras (privately owned) can read the plates, but didn't bother to make sure the speed and red light cameras (government owned) can as well...!
> The conclusion is that there are many axes of oppression and one does not invalidate the other

Yet this is the inevitable consequence of intersectional analysis.. It describes a way to calculate value discrepancy of opinions based off group membership of the opinion holder. This is just an attempt to overcorrect the "axes of oppression" from sins of the past. The solution moving forward should not be to sin in the opposite direction - this will just create backlash (re: Charlottesville). It should be centered around empowering individuals and telling people that they can achieve anything because they can. Telling people that they are victims is a great way to ruin them. Everyone is a victim to one thing or another. The answer isn't to dwell and blame your victimhood or oppressors, the answer is to go out there and achieve.
Traditionally, castile soap is 100% olive-oil based. It's often sold as liquid soap, to eliminate any disadvantages of the softness that olive oil gives to solid bar soap.

amazon is running computing services for the government, which makes me doubt it.

And what about Google?

Rewrites in how living cells work at a fundamental level is really hard. It took a billion years to go from prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic ones and that was a pretty simple change - just move the energy extracting membrane inside to get out of the squre/cube culs-de-sac bacteria were stuck in. But at the same time it's the sort of thing that would be obvious to an intelligent designer. I'm not sure that microscopic diamondoid self-replicators are possible but I wouldn't rule out the idea that similar improvements are easy pickings in synthetic biology and that's a pretty scary thought.

I would say it doesn't have to be like this. I have made a whole thing out of stripping complexity out of things, which includes favoring cli tools over gui counterparts, etc, and most of my daily stack is nice and fast and not suffering from this. Webpages with good adblocking and scriptblocking start to seem functional again, but are still the main sticking point since I am doing a whitelist approach (and sometimes forget to commit my rule changes).

If a program is written in electron it's an automatic "won't install" for example. The same for npm. If one can learn to be more discerning in their tooling they can avoid many of these pitfalls.

I would also say; go on a pid hunt sometime. Does that process really need to be running? No, like really?

systemctl disable $service.service

systemctl mask $service.service
We need a normal form for pronouncing and naming relational databases.

I’m half joking but it might alleviate people from being confused.
You latter point doesn't really make sense to me. Isn't it true that a sale of IP should model the value of the IP over its lifetime in some reasonable way? And that would include a growth model for FB, no?

If it could be shown that facebook intentionally undervalued it in order to make this scheme work better for them, wouldn't the IRS have a case?
When the Department of Revenue published the proposed designs, some of them contained the phrase "In God We Trust," while others didn't. It wasn't made clear that the phrase "In God We Trust" wasn't part of any of the designs; it's just an optional sticker that goes where the county name (also a sticker) is usually found on the plate. The miscommunication upset just about everyone because the vote (which was just an online poll, not an official vote) to select a new design effectively became a referendum on whether the state's license plate should contain the phrase "In God We Trust." The Department of Revenue decided to republish the proposed designs without the sticker so that the public could vote again.

But really is not, since FB exists in US, UK, Ireland, Israel, France and many other places (see [0]). And not all the value was created in the same place. You could have (and I know examples) a piece of tech being developed in US and not make any money until a team in London picks it up, tweaks the crap out of it and makes some millions. And you need to note that engineers in London are employees of Facebook UK, a different legal entity than Facebook US. Then there are sales and solutions (custom tech built for various customers). The point is, attributing wealth to a particular area is not that clear cut. And I guess this is what this lawsuit is all about, figure out how to do that.

I understand that lawyers are taught to think logically and to support their arguments, so I would appreciate your analysis on our exchange, which looks to me like this:

MY COMMENT: question / observation / speculation / hypothesis-with-circumstantial-evidence-to-support-speculation / expectation / expectation

YOUR REPLY: assertion / speculation

question / speculation / assertion

personal observation

question / self-evident-assertion / assertion / assertion

The main complaint to my comment was about unsupported speculation, which I don't see, instead I do see it in the reply. I genuinely want to do better if I should.
Regardless of it being on IPFS, APIs can still be used. Plus who doesn't love google fonts. <3
Is it simple, though? I mean, reading about how they test it[1] leads me to believe it is not simple. Maybe it's simple compared to Oracle, and maybe using it is simple, but the actual implementation is definitely not simple.

That reminds me of a situation at work.

A new coworker couldn't connect to the internet when he had a an Apple Thunderbolt display connected to his ~2014-2015 MB Pro via thunderbolt. Mystifying. Even more mystifying was corporate IT going "oh yeah just don't use it".
Its the same at the Boeing factories, it will be interesting to see where this stuff gets traced to.
Huh. Does that actually create multiple processes? My impression was that go doesn't fork(2).
According to Complianceowl, they may also be in the crosshairs (I have no idea myself):

> Secondly, have you done your research? Surely Facebook is not the only company being targeted by the government right now. I can assure you that, surely there are more.

But, if this administration does have something to do with targeting Facebook, why would they not go after Amazon if this is politically charged? Trump has been vocal about his hatred of Bezos and Amazon, and his base would love to see it. It would be a fairly safe thing to go after, and honestly even I would have trouble being outraged by it as a non-Trump person.

Also, does the IRS need staff to sue an entity? If they wanted to audit Facebook, sure, they would need staff. But in this case, it's a lawsuit. All you need is lawyers. And since lawyers aren't busy doing IRS audits, they probably have a lot more free time to handle billion dollar lawsuits.

Having friends in the program, I can tell you it's run like a circus.

Expecting 10 people who don't have any experience programming to cooperate on a project without any support or oversight is just asking for student failures.

Of course they'll say that the students have supports through their PMs, EMs or TLs (depending on the mood, they change the role title), but they're never available and miss meetings constantly. Also, they've reogranized the curriculum multiple times during the tenure of my friends, and don't wait till the next batch like a sane school would.

I feel really bad for the excellent teachers they brought on board. They ended up with a lot more than they bargained for.

Half or more of the program is composed of the crappy group projects.

The people who succeed after lambda school is in spite of the program, not because of it.

Don’t you think if it were political they’d go after Twitter or Reddit who are stricter about suspending and banning accounts and so on?
I assume that at the scale palm oil is used, the size of an animal industry capable of providing enough tallow would surely be far more unsustainable. The fattier animals that produce tallow in large quantities have a trophic efficiency of 1/5 or 1/6 so for every pound of animal mass they consume 5-6 pounds of plant food. That's a lot of calories wasted just chewing cud.
I've been working on Google Maps for close to five years now. I somehow missed the previous postings of this thread, but a little hyperbole never hurt anyone :) Your larger point about the inability in our profession to take a step back and consider the overall situation is spot-on. The mindset I most commonly encounter among other engineers when discussing any kind of systemic problems in our practices is a kind of "it's $CURRENT_YEAR, of course things are the best they've ever been and we've solved all known problems. Also what is $KNOWN_SINCE_DECADES_TRIVIAL_SOLUTION_TO_MAJOR_PROBLEM?"

You can never really make a map for "exploring" because what people want to explore is domain specific. Do you want to explore mountains? Do you want to explore museums, do you want to explore beaches?

There is too much stuff in the world to present on a map without absolutely overwhelming people, in the same way that the internet is too vast to "explore". You can't explore the internet from google search you've got to have some vague starting point as a miniumum.
Guys, everything at that level, regardless of reasons, are political...it has nothing to do with right and wrong, just interests. Of course it has to be packaged with good reasons otherwise people won't buy it, but again very often they don't bother to give good reasons and push through anyway.

That said, I do believe that tackling offshore revenue is a good move.
Also, almost all performance issues come due to features, which nostalgia about the past always ignores. Some specific tasks may have been tangentially faster, but you also had orders of magnitude less features available, and said feature make your overall workflow much faster. None of these people would actually give up on their zsh/autocomplete/fzf/custom git-integrated theme for a few ms better latency.
> Or, someone could just come out with a wayfinding app for pedestrians that does its own map rendering. There’s already a Transit app with a UI (and map tiles) optimized for transit-takers; why not a Walkthere app with a UI (and map tiles) optimized for pedestrians? :)

This wouldn't really make me happy. It makes more sense to integrate the walking instructions into the Transit app and be good at giving directions for multimodal transport. I need to know if I should get off the bus here, and walk through the park, or wait till three stops later, which leaves me closer as the crow flies but further away overall. The car app doesn't need to work multimodally since it's not normal to drive somewhere, walk 10 minutes, then drive somewhere else.

Google maps is still the best general purpose multimodal transport app I've used, but it could be so much better. I'm in Austria right now and it doesn't know about the Austrian buses. There's an app (OEBB Scotty) from the Austrian rail operator which I assume everyone uses instead.
I don't care about the implementation and I congratulate the developers on abstracting all of that complexity away from me. That's what good software does.
I would be more convincing, but the whole point of my comment was that you need to do the work to get up to date with where the debate is. Don't ask other people to do the work for you.

Anyway, FYI that's why you've been multiply downvoted. Not because there's some FP cabal who downvote pro-imperative comments.
Got it, that makes sense. Thanks.
The only one that comes to mind is booking.com.

facebook.com maybe as well although it has given the word a new meaning.
I've had good luck with Cree, Home Depot's brand. I don't think any of them have died since I converted about five years ago.

Lowe's is stocking GE these days, but I'm not familiar with their quality. The reason I'm not familiar is that they exclusively stocked Feit initially, and yes, those things are pure garbage. They had high failure rates and were not "instant on" compared to others. I stopped buying them and switched over to the Home Depot brand.

Coconut oil works very well for soaps. You can get great great results with it. I've tried (as a hobbyist maker) red palm oil and coconut oil and I found the latter much preferable. Coconut oil costs more, of course.
It's simple to use.
Slightly unrelated, but what amazes me is the fact that every living organism, in a nutshell, is a fork bomb.
So delegate the validation with a CNAME and do it somewhere that’s not cloudflare. They provide signing with their own CA for origin certificates so I don’t really know why you’re using Let’s Encrypt at all.

Your idea of just randomly blocking access from certain IP address ranges doesn’t really provide you with any security at all. If you’re worried about rusaian hackers or whatever, most people exploiting anything have access to botnets with whatever bespoke IP address ranges they need to bypass those sort of rules.

In anti fraud we see this commonly, people using stolen details will happily get better matches with GEOIP than the legitimate users of the credentials. Blocking specific countries IP allocations is just providing a false sense security on your part.
Is lathering important for any particular reason?

I've been using castile soap for a while now, and, while it's true that it doesn't lather as much as some other soaps, that's never really bothered me.

I had pretty much this exact thought recently after a couple of LED bulbs failed in fairly close succession in my house, despite a purported 20/50K hour lifespan (I can't recall which exactly, but neither reached).

They're own-brand ones, sold by a major supermarket chain here in the UK (Sainsburys), so I'd expect them to be 'ok' at least. Certainly not 'cheap'.

Compared to ye olde incandescents, the complexity and material make up is significantly less recyclable and looks to my eye to require a lot more invested energy to manufacture.

I've wondered this about so-called 'smart meters' too - how much energy does it take to make one, and how long to 'pay off' that investment?
This is so cool! I've been writing ad software for the greater part of the decade, and my dream has always been to write my own small app to serve ads like how you are describing, but I'd be afraid that nobody would find value in it because there would be obvious restrictions beyond geo targeting.

It's great to see that you've proven it's possible and made it open source on top of it!
Tell that to my former boss. They wanted me to delay sending responses from the backend, because they liked showing off their custom spinner. The spinner would not be seen at all during normal operation, without the delay in sending responses.

Sequel-lite here. I know that makes no sense phonetically.
They do. I have a side job as an external examiner for CS students and the first years are still taught the same Car/Animal examples when learning about polymorphism that I was decades ago.

I’ve never once used that knowledge professionally to any sort of success. The complexity of polymorphism always ended up biting us (any company/org I’ve worked at) in the ass when things eventually grew way too far apart than what was originally envisioned when the polymorphism made sense.

Kinda hilarious that they are still teaching it with those useless examples though. You’d have thought they could come up with something better by now. I mean, I get why you’d chose something obvious, but in my experience CS students seem to understand polymorphism perfectly well without making a duck quack and a dog go woof.

But what do I know, I can’t even make it work.
A universal truth doesn’t stop being true... So it’s probably better to revise it to say that it behaves that way under certain conditions and those conditions have changed.
The screens are better, for sure.

Likely. As with dragonflies, there is a minimum speed below which flies don't perceive motion. In both cases, if you move very (very) slowly, you can approach almost to physical contact without provoking any reaction.

Anecdotally from my experience as a macro photographer, the threshold for flies is lower than for dragonflies; flies often startle in response to movements almost too tiny to perceive having made, while dragonflies are relatively easy, usually requiring only a few minutes to approach from a distance of a meter or so to the ~12cm minimum focus distance of my best macro lens. (It's hard to know; the passage of time isn't of much interest in the focused flow state that's required for this sort of activity.) It helps that disturbed dragonflies tend much more often to return to the same perch, but with some practice it's possible to make the entire approach without disturbing them at all. The only really tricky part about it is that, when you're moving slowly enough, they also tend to land on you, which can be somewhat distracting if you're ticklish.

In any case, the existence of a minimum rate of change for perception of motion suggests that flickering light below a certain frequency might well be perceived as strongly discontinuous.

(It also merits mention that my macro rig includes three very powerful flash heads mounted around the lens front element. I've never observed dragonflies, wasps, bees, flies, or spiders to react to these in any way, even when firing from a distance of six inches; the only reaction I've seen has been from fall webworm caterpillars, which displayed a communal defensive response, and that may have been as much due to the shadow I cast, or to the polistid wasps hunting nearby, as to my flashes firing. The wasps notably did not care at all about me or my flashes, especially after they also found the nest and busied themselves with its rapid depopulation.)
Works fine for me, uMatrix with javascript disabled by default.

Edit: Ah, upon testing it breaks if you have 1st party JS allowed but not 3rd party. This is pretty reasonable in my opinion.
Working at a big bank in the early 90's we all had Sparks on our desks. If you walked away without your screen locked, you might come back to find 'ls' aliased to a fork bomb or 'rm -rf *' or something else fun. The guy who sat next to me was truly a master. He would start with aliasing cat, more, ls, cd and then alias itself.

The other fun trick was finding someone who had left xhost+ open and while a boss was at their desk, popping open NSFW pictures on their screen in an xv window.
It's kind of frustrating to try and figure out what is actually the original, unaltered code, and what's been added.

There is a BURNBABY routine, though, so I guess that's real.
Not just luxury, but it is making us collectively incapable of dealing with bad actors. Over time, we (as an industry or culture or whatever) are loosing behaviors and skills needed to expose or minimize harm.

Meanwhile, culture is increasingly dictated by bad actors - making it even harder to oppose them. For example, some of what is said to be "professionalism" are basically rules that make it harder to deal with bad actors or companies.

For a better comparison, I ran Windows XP in VirtualBox on a Macbook Air last year to interface with some old hardware.

I was surprised that it ran in something like 256 MB of RAM. And everything was super fast and responsive out of the box.

I consider OS X less janky than Windows or Linux these days, but Windows XP blew it out of the water.

Try it -- it's eye opening. The UI does basically 100% of what you can do on OS X, yet it's considerably more responsive on the same hardware, with the handicap of being virtualized, and having fewer resources.
The original Kinetix 3D Studio MAX was NOT as slow as the current AutoDesk products. It had a loading time, but I can live with that.

With the speed of the M.2 SSDs we have today and everything else I really wonder why it got like this.

Maybe it's the transition to protected mode that did all this? Now everything has to be sanitized and copied between address spaces. But then again, Win95 were also protected mode. I don't know... :)
I suspect this particular action is the IRS actually doing its job for once, although I'm more suspicious of the recent DoJ and FTC moves to look more intensely at tech companies.

But the reason to go after FB now would be to keep them in line. Facebook, which has an effective monopoly, understands the number one threat to their income and wealth is regulation. That's why they've just started telling people how they should be regulated. Doing things that are menacing but not immediately consequential is a great way for authoritarians to tilt things in their favor.
Carbon-positive ways we could lower SoL: no more individual vehicles, no more single family housing, massive increase in taxes on electronics and fuels.
