I mean, this mentality often is wrong. Scaling out actually isn't the right solution for everyone. It works for Google given that primarily web services are offered. It does not work for workloads that heavily rely on the CPU (think financial workloads, ML, HPC/scientific workloads) or have realtime requirements. In fact, for many ETL workloads vertical scaling proves far more efficient.

It's long been the "google way" to try and abstract out compute but it's led to an industry full of people trying to follow in their way and overcomplicating what can be solved on one or two machines.
Good points all around. I figured the exceptions were esoteric enough to not bother with immediately but are very valid.

I'm interested in seeing where the proposal goes. I'm not sure where I stand on the issue but I'm curious of others opinions.
Well with a union, not only do you get wage fixing, but also union dues!
This is very sad to see. Privacy is a right.
Right, it's a buzzword.

Buzzwords are very similar to phatic expressions (aka small talk). They're words that don't convey much information, because they lack stringent definitions. As so, they do little other than feed confirmation biases. Which is why you often find these types of terms effectively used in marketing... and amongst those in management...
Yeah, the only reason to charity-wash it would be if you thought it was more likely to go uncaught. I suspect you'd be caught in either version of the fraud. :-)
Okay, I have to say I'm sorry for the phrasing of my comment. Not because I think any of it is untrue, but because I could have foreseen that the "NOT" part is not explicit enough about what I mean. So here goes...

What I did mean (and I take this straight from the article) is that at least one of these women explicitely refused to sign a statement speaking of rape, because that was not what she came to report, or what she thought happened. She texted as much to a friend, too. Yet the police not only went ahead with an investigation based on a statement that the only witness had refused to sign, but they also altered said statement afterwards to re-open the case when the first statement was disregarded as a credible account of what happened, yet not an account of a crime.
So I'm explicitly not saying that this first woman lied. She said the truth, told her story, and in her story, there was no rape. A prosecutor in Stockholm agreed with her, as did Assange. So this is the word of the police, against the prosecution, the defendant, and the purported victim and only witness. Hence my phrasing of "a woman did NOT make a rape allegation". I hope that clears that up.

And note the singular in that sentence up there. The second woman is different of course, and at least she clearly stated a rape allegation. I'm not the one to pass judgement on that. But the people who are, and who have seen the evidence, seem to not be convinced. Further, at the point where the second allegation even enters the picture, the case had already completely derailed, so if or if not the breaking of the condom was intentional, and if or if not such a condom could credibly hold no DNA whatsoever is pretty moot at that point.
Replying to your lower comment: That is just not remotely my experience or the experience of most people I know. Most people in science I knew already know what project they would be working on before entered grad school at all. It is very much directed, with some latitude like any other skilled job.
What's worse it is somewhat synonymous to being secular, anti-hindu, or just debating whatever government does. All different things.
Unless you'll re-use that service in another controller, it makes little sense to me.
> Did you know you can scroll through Ribbon tabs on most (every?) implementation with your scroll wheel?

> Beyond that, have you tried navigating a Ribbon via keyboard?

Yes, to both of those things. Scrolling through the ribbon tabs doesn't address or ease my issue with the ribbon (which is trying to find the operation I want). The problem isn't how quickly I can scroll through the ribbon, but that finding things in it is hard. That said, a good UI solution wouldn't require me to scroll anything like that in the first place.

Keyboard shortcuts let me bypass the ribbon, which is good, but they don't help me with things that I don't do all the time because I won't remember the shortcuts. Aside from the waste of screen space, the ribbon doesn't bother me when doing the routine things.
I wonder whether those hedge fund people have smartphones and if they do whether they choose Apple, Android or do not care. That would be pretty valuable information in the wrong hands, all it takes is one silly game with a permission too many and your goose is cooked.
I cannot possibly imagine how every method of more than five lines is doing more than one thing.

You replace them with abscissa and ordinate actually. And Z will be applicate, it seems, although I already heard azimuth used for this one. I'm not aware of a dedicated terms for higher dimensions, so your beautiful (w,x,y,z) quaternion tuple is a big deal, isn't it.

Anyway, you can always use an array `coordinates` with whatever dimensions you want.

5 PhD spots is 5x the revenue. Theres a reason they dont provide that data to potential students
UC Berkeley CS PhD student here. I can definitely empathize with the UCSC strikers---housing costs are also insane here, although we get payed a bit more.

CS PhDs here have it relatively good, at about $55K / year before taxes, but it's still common for us to spend more than 30-50% of income on rent. (Even in shared housing, it's very difficult to find anything cheaper than $1.3K / month.)

I do know that for students in other departments, money is extremely tight, and they often have very limited options and periods of housing insecurity. As a side note, the homelessness problem in Berkeley has gone from bad to insane over the past few years that I've lived here. I essentially never leave my house, in a pretty posh part of Berkeley, without an uncomfortable interaction (homeless people in various states of undress, under the influence of drugs, talking to themselves, or screaming).

Meanwhile, the UCs (and UC Berkeley in particular) continue to expand a very expensive bureaucracy (I question how many $500K/year vice provosts we really need). It's not that they don't have the money to pay grad students more, but that they're not incentivized to allocate it towards making grad students' lives better.

Unfortunately, there's an apathetic attitude among many students on campus of, essentially, "doing your time and getting out," since they know, at least in STEM, that there's a pile of money waiting on the other side.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few months and whether the COLA campaign expands to other UCs. The UC administration is very fearful of union organizing (as evidenced by the many weird anti-union emails the university sent out in 2018, during the last contract negotiation).
This would have made a nice scene in that awful Imitation Game film, unlike the rubbish they actually put in (as well as other tales of the real Turing - the gas mask worn during hay fever season, for example).
I’m glad to hear it! One of my favorite ways to view Materialize is as bringing differential dataflow to the masses. Differential dataflow is deep, elegant stuff, but it requires some serious CS chops to grok.

SQL is lacking in elegance but abundant in popularity. Building the SQL translation layer has been a fun exercise in bridging the two worlds.
> Paying all these engineers to write that code was expensive, and now you want to give it all away for free? Most companies never do that for anything, why would they make an exception?

I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I've been doing professional software development for more than twenty years and have never encountered this. There's plenty of "we should be paid for our work and innovation" but nothing so reflexive as what you describe here.
The Models are all the code that define your business logic. They have no idea how they get represented in the UI, and they have no idea what calls their operations.

The Views accept data and generate a UI of some kind. They have no idea where the data comes from, or what their requests actually do.

The Controller knows about both the Model and the View. It maps request from the View to operations in the Model, and then uses data from the Model to update the View.

M <= C => V

That is the broad structure behind how all those things works. They aren't all the same, but that's not the point of a design pattern.
> It is very much directed

Graduate school is very much directed? The usual criticism is that it’s completely undirected and you can drift if you aren’t careful!
They can be. If the price only grows at inflation and the rent provides the actual return.

Housing cannot provide return only at inflation, that would mean nobody would want to invest in real estate.

If so, they should vote with their feet and observe proper precautions, such as incorporating in a jurisdiction with strong privacy laws, or not incorporating at all (Bitcoin). Examples of the former include New Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada, Seychelles, British Virgin Islands, and more.

React is just MVC turned inside out. The core principles still apply:

1. Any operation that changes the state the program is being used to manipulate should go to a single place and be fanned out to subscribers from there.
2. You want to be able to build compound views from simpler views and still treat them as the same kind of thing.
3. You want to be able to parameterize views over the behavior from interacting with them, e.g., you want to parameterize a button over what should happen when you press it, what its label should be, and if it is enabled.

You can do strict MVC in JavaScript just fine (https://github.com/madhadron/mvc_for_the_web). React has one major win that MVC can't give you: if you have lots of teams all putting things onto the same page, React controls the refresh loop so one team's code can't keep updating and destroy the performance of the whole page.

The article explains what it is, but not why it's supposed to be good. Except perhaps that the proceeds of the tax could be used for welfare payments.

Is this functionally different from the US immigration authorities asking to inspect a person's social media content on their cellphone/laptop when entering the US ? Not just from "hostile" countries like Iran but occasionally from visitors from Canada ? I know at least one Canadian born citizen (had an Islamic name ) who was asked to reveal their social media profile and had their smartphone searched
This is going to sound antiquated and tedious, so please bear with me. Rather than using a VPN/Tor/etc. which can be easily detected or requires a lot of OpSec to get right, consider having people in other countries that can help bundle archives of data for you. Ship the data back and forth over something non conspicuous and not subject to MITM proxies such as SFTP to AWS or one of the low-rent VPS providers. Use a ram based linux distribution in India to create the posts, tar the data up, SFTP to another country. A friend in that country outside of India pulls down the tarball and posts text and videos to social media for you. When you are done uploading your tarball, reboot, and all the data is gone from your end. You can boot back into whatever government approved OS image is acceptable.

If you set the filesystem permissions right on the SFTP server, then even if they beat the username / pw out of you, then all they will find is cat videos on the chroot SFTP server. Your friend will see the tarball of objectionable content in a hidden directory. Remember to sanitize EXIF data from pictures first as that has your GPS location and in some cases your cell phone serial number. Someone will suggest ssh keys over password, but they should not in this case. No data must be persisted on the India side of this scenario.

I will be the first to admit, this process is tedious. I am only suggesting it as a last resort when all else fails.
> The point is not that methods should be 5 lines or less, full stop.

But that's what a linter does! It just blindly says that shit is wrong. Linters should only emit warnings that people definitely should fix otherwise people stop paying attention and all the useful checks become just noise.
That's begging the question. You haven't explained why unions would be incapable of preventing wage fixing.
> Such draconian policies should only come into place for very short durations with measures for removal

One of the problems when giving a government powers like this for a “short duration” is they tend to end up sticking a lot longer than that.

They were already collecting data past 3 years.

The doctors who carried out this research are, it sounds, blatantly in the wrong, for they withheld the data that appears to make clear that stents have worse outcomes past year 3 until after the guidelines were written while they had already gathered this data before the guidelines were written.

Sure they cannot openly share all their data because it is private, but it is very suspect that they do not share the external review that found them at fault

As Prof John Ioannadis points out in the article, there are wide systemic issues in the trials and guidelines process.

If the tradeoff is if we enact this policy we will have more jobs, a better budget balance and more money collectively and the only downside is our people will buy different types of goods and in particular fewer luxury goods from overseas, I can't imagine why any self-respecting economist wouldn't recommend the policy on purely economic grounds. Assessing which parts of the economy will be worse off and whether there will be a net benefit is literally what the advisers are paid for, and every policy or non-enactment of policy has an opportunity cost.

If the problem is that there exists a cost-free solution to economic growth but other countries adopting it might kill your economic base of exporting luxuries to them if they do it, it's probably safe to assume that either they will do it anyway or that they aren't doing it because they face other political barriers or adverse consequences.

If your solution is protectionism or luxury tax or devaluation or similar it's neither cost free nor something other countries haven't considered and don't have plenty of specific reasons why it's not a good idea for them even if it'll work for your economy.

And time and a half pay legislation not being copied by [e.g] the UK which also had a Great Depression cutting its industrial output, pays great attention to the US economy and generally has more generous labour laws kind of underlines the pointlessness of keeping good ideas secret in the assumption you'll be harmed by everyone else following your lead.

Huh? I mean yes you can technically continue to use an outdated framework, but what do you do when there is CVE identified and someone exploits it? Do you just sit on your hands and wait until you can upgrade the whole framework months later?

There are explicit risks associated with continued use of an outdated and unsupported framework, so why anyone would continue to build on a burning platform is beyond me...

This is a bit generalized. The city I work in is similar to Santa Cruz - tech adjacent and regularly makes the national magazine market for being beautiful. Outsider tourism brings in money, but the weekend traffic pattern has shifted over 15 years. When there used to be traffic jams heading south to the city on weekends, there are now traffic jams headed north to the wine country on the weekend. I completely see the need for the tourism and its great for the economy, but it has definitely changed the small-town feel.

I've got an account number, which is only used by the bank (though it appears on all bank statements). For some operations (adding a beneficiary for bank transfer, for example), there's a double factor, either on my phone or by postal mail and then there's at least a 24h delay: they must know their security is bad, so the bank limits the damage that can be done, you can't just get hacked and all your account emptied in a hour.

And to change your phone number, you've to use a on-use password, sent by postal mail to your address.
