Before 2002 (AMD's Cool'n'Quiet) and 2005 (Intel's SpeedStep) CPUs didn't do any frequency scaling for power savings. When the CPU wasn't asleep it was running at it's full voltage and clock speed. While the HLT instruction kept let them 'idle' they only used marginally less power than when active.

So running distributed.net or Seti@Home was using unused processing capacity for a marginal increase in power draw. If you ran them overnight with your monitor (CRT typically) your computer was drawing less power than if you were sitting up all night on IRC or playing Quake. This changed once frequency scaling was commonplace on desktops.

How did you determine the $39k after taxes. Are you considering 2 parents and 2 dependents? They could probably get covered under Covered California also.
This is absolutely not true. Broker-dealers and brokerages routinely credit clients for execution out of line with the market. Schwab does in fact give price adjustments for slowly or incorrectly handled orders.

The reason nobody will be compensated here is due to two things,

(1) There is no way to determine what a fair execution would have been, since clients couldn't submit orders in the first place.

(2) Clients will adversely select their losing trades for corrections and this would bankrupt Robinhood in about five minutes.

Agreed, but as OpenVPN has shown us, it's not a guarantee that security will be any better if everything is contained within a single process.

It's also possible to use something other than Vault, you could use LDAP for example, but Vault lets you use multiple authentication mechanisms, and can be used for other purposes, so it's kinda a multi-tool. Additionally, I'm not using consul, just Postgres on the same host as Vault.
Why not do what JS does?

val emily2 = { ...emily1, age: 30 };

This has many advantages, one being that it provably and declaratively creates a copy, which is not the case with the builder. In fact the obsession with methods (and hence the implied state) is what makes Java a terrible misfit for functional paradigms such as immutability.
That makes me wonder about electric vehicles, though they'd certainly disallow something like a Tesla since they constantly transmit cellular data.
I contacted atrium in December to see if they could help me with an acquisition, but they didn't even want to take me on as a client because I wasn't big enough yet. I should have guessed there was some trouble behind the scenes. I ended up just going with my gut, doing my own quick study on aquisitions, and went ahead with the aquisition without a lawer on my side looking things over.

I think it turned out ok... time will tell I guess.

That's an interesting question. I suppose it's hypothetical in the sense that they now have to look at "what if" those options had been exercised; but unlike a spot trade that someone "would have" done, Robinhood might already have had obligations on its end of the original options trade.

>I get an easy way to install and update my certificates

You're lucky, because it took me forever to devise a renewal system that met my requirements of being able to renew certificates for domains that are used across multiple machines, both physical and virtual, many of the virtual machines which share IPv4 behind NAT thus cannot sanely use HTTP-01 renewal. Fine, use DNS-01, but: having to deal with my strict DNSSEC setup where I sign zones at home on a trusted device, keeping my keys off live servers, ensuring keys don't end up on untrusted hardware, and wanting my TLS private keys only on the servers they're being used on—all that suddenly makes my deployment more complex.

What I'd rather do is, since my nameserver runs a cronjob to pull signed zones from my home device (unauthenticated because the signed zonefiles are public information), I wanted to incorporate that into my DNS-01 ACME verification too. But all the existing tools (certbot, dehydrated, acme.sh, et al) seem not to support this style of setup well, where I can batch my DNS challenges, wait for my nameserver to pick them up, and then verify the challenges en-masse an hour or a day later (LE challenges last for seven days, so this is acceptable delay for me).

But I'm stuck with the CNAME/alternate NS approach where I have to run yet another network-facing service from home, for the duration of renewals, because I simply do not have time nor patience to sift through ACME's specification and implement a better tool suited for my needs.

>I get notified by email when there is a problem

LE has a mailing list for critical announcements in the interest of current customers and interested prospectors? Do tell, because all I know about is their blog and the Discourse forum, neither of which are solely for critical announcements.

One of the worst contracts I ever had was for a small company running a SaaS for divorce attorneys to help manage their cases.

The main selling point was that it would re-create state forms on the web and allow an attorney to fill them out, print them, and manage a case.

These forms would change many times a year and they were written using horrible PHP libraries that required every piece of the form to be drawn using coordinates. If one thing changed on the page (which happened often), all coordinates would shift and have to be re-written.

Aside from this, the owner had the first version written by developers overseas a few years earlier and I was hired as part of the 2.0 team that consisted of more inexperienced overseas developers and resulted in even more of a mess than version 1.

Some gems from the owner:

She once put on her Linkedin profile that one of her accomplishments was the ability to hire developers on a volunteer basis or well below marker value. It was taken down within a day.

I was finally let go and was told straight to my face that she was going to hire someone from India for 1/3 what she was paying me.

And the ribbon was designed specifically because more people find it easier to use, as Microsoft's user research showed.

Not exactly. What Microsoft's user research showed was that people who were unfamiliar with Office found the Ribbon easier to use than the traditional menu bar. They did not test whether the same held true for experienced users. They also did not test whether the Ribbon had a higher "skill ceiling" than a traditional menu bar (i.e. if you take two users, one who is proficient with the Ribbon and one who is proficient with the traditional menu bar, and ask them to complete the same task, who is faster?).

Most of the complaints about the Ribbon came from the audiences that Microsoft failed to adequately test the Ribbon on. Microsoft, as far as I can tell, figured that experienced users would quickly get used to the new UI paradigm and adapt. That was not the case, due to the aforementioned tendency for the Ribbon to "helpfully" move things around in order to put the most recently used tools front and center. This broke many people's muscle memory and, more importantly, inhibited the formation of new muscle memory. It's the latter that was especially galling for experienced users. Changing the UI is bad enough. But changing the UI and replacing it with a constantly shifting toolbar that gives the user no indication as to where their controls nor any consistency with regards to their positioning is intolerable.

Imagine if your car radio shifted its buttons around every time you started it to put the last selected station in the first position.

Always and everywhere the people at the bottom of the class hierarchy have enough problems that complaining about inequality or engaging in politics is not a priority. Social unrest is always about conflict within the elite or wannabe elite. The American Revolution was led by the richest of Americans. The French Revolution was led by the highly educated as was the Russian one. We have one historical example of a successful slave rebellion, in Haiti, and it was led by the most educated, cultured section of the free black population. For less violent examples look at the Labour Party in the UK, whose policy stance has almost always been that of the Fabian Society with some lag. A working class mass movement millions strong and what amounts to a debating/social club with well under a 1,000 truly active and engaged members had at least as big an impact on policy as the entire trade union movement.

One of the key findings of research done by Robert Sapolsky is that poverty, on a biological level, increases the tendency to prioritize short-term thinking over long-term thinking.

This is not surprising, because people in poverty need to be opportunistic to survive. Cutthroat behavior in poverty is not an example of bad moral character, it's a valid strategy to make it day to day. Being generous is something one has to be able to afford.

This is one of the perversions of poverty and our culture that make the movie so great. it showcases how poverty itself forces people to engage in behaviour that makes others look down on them as undeserving, rather than painting an idealized image of the poor.

It's quite hilarious how much Protestant folk morality was on display in response to the movie in particular among American audiences.
On the profession side of this, if you're an engineer at RH in the thick of this - many have been there. It seems dire now, but in a few years the fog, panic, and haze of no sleep will become a story you tell your peers at happy hour.

Many will cast stones - but they have been there too. If they haven't, well maybe their day will also come. You may feel bad at the moment - but the best way professionally forward is "We try our best tomorrow"

RE notebooks, personally I blame it to a combination of a) Python taking the scientist community by storm (perhaps thanks to scipy), where prior popular scientific toolkits were proprietary, b) popularization of lightweight markup languages (like Markdown) and c) popularization of browser as runtime.

There is history of scientists using org-mode for computational notebooks and publishing purposes, ticking both a) (powerful, open toolkit supporting not only Python, but just about anything) and b) very good markup language (org mode), but this ties potential collaborators to Emacs, so it had no chance to popularize. I don't know the relative timeline of org mode code evaluation vs. IPython/Jupyter, so I can't say whether this qualifies as prior art.

RH has constantly had issues at least since I started using it over a year ago. I didn't notice it really at first, but I also didn't know much about anything trading related back then. It didn't take long though for me to have my first "incident" where my market orders were seemingly vanishing into the abyss as the underlying moved. I'm not talking seconds, I'm talking minutes. For a market order on high liquidity options. Never mind trying to get filled at anything besides the ask (buying) or bid (selling).

RH has had serious underlying issues for a long time now. This incident didn't happen in vacuum. The writing has been in huge block letters on the wall for a long time.

In my opinion, S. Korea has less visible rage against inequality because of the Japanese colonialism, Korean War and the fast development of the economy since 1970s.

For 500+ years before Japan occupied Korean peninsula in 1910, Korea had a strict social class system. Class inequality was very firmly in place. But most accepted it as a natural order, as any society with kings in ruling.

All those social classes were broken down with the Japanese colonialism and the Korean War. Especially the Korean War. The Korean war basically wiped out overnight a large chunk of the landed rich. The society was turned upside down. It was a true leveling of the playing field. I'd say from end of the Korean War (or maybe even starting in 1910), those who rose above others in wealth largely did so on their own. The old money/wealth lost wealth and had none for the children to inherit.

Obviously some cheated (or hacked their way in techie term) to get above. Others worked honestly and did well on test and in job to get above.

So there's less decades/centuries old wealthy class passing down their wealth to their kids.
I think it's unwise to offer

1) proprietary solutions in the age of surveillance capitalism.

2) offer in-browser cryptography to ensure security. I don't see any end-to-end encryption elements in that. Your data gets essentially delivered to the service. Do we really want that? Haven't the companies like FB already shown you should never trust them with your data? I mean, I'm baffled to see people would go in circles and instead of realizing the fundamental fault (lack of privacy by design), they go for the next vendor who promises not to abuse their data. Well no surprise there, for these services the business model IS the data. And it will never change unless they prove it won't be used by switching on E2EE and allowing anonymous registration and use via Tor.

At least back in the day Jitsi offered E2EE for VoIP and video with ZRTP + SRTP. I'm not sure what the case is now but people, think twice before you sign up to these "free" and fun one-click sites.

> The point of the film was that poverty forces the poor into ruthless conflict with each other as they battle for the scraps of the rich.

As an empirical matter this isn’t true. If it was civilization would be impossible. Most people are decent human beings working hard to get by. If poverty forced the poor into ruthless competition India or China would have higher rates of violent crime than the US, not lower.

Looks like it's doing annotation processing at compile time? The trouble with that is that you end up with "magic" code like calling methods that don't appear to exist, and in order to be able to work on the serialisation itself (e.g. to add a new format) you have to understand the "magic", because there isn't a good intermediate abstraction. The great advantage of Shapeless is that all the "magic" is in the library itself and it spits out a generic representation of your data classes in record form; you can implement a new serialisation format in 100% vanilla Scala without having to worry about any macros or annotations or anything.
Great idea...until you realize you’ve just run headlong into the Citizens United decision.

I don't buy it. I think the real problem is that software became one of the worlds biggest commodities practically overnight and developers are usually more incentivized to get stuff done faster rather than produce higher quality.

There's practically no material cost to software development, the proliferation of the internet makes patching trivial, and the overwhelming majority of software amounts to an nothing more than an inconvenience if it fails. Considering the high value of software and the relatively low cost of bugs, it's only natural that speed is valued so much more than quality.

Few points based on my experiences with (Micro) services:

Note: None of these are cast in stone. These have worked well for us

1. Decide in your team/org what constitutes a new version and what it means. Does every change means version change? What if an API adds an optional parameter; do I need to update the version?

2. Not everything has to be a service. Think if the same functionality can be consumed in the form of a library/sdk instead of a full service.

3. The dependency amongst services should resemble acyclic graph and not cycles. This limits the version change impact.

4. Think about abstraction. Can we logically group set of services A, B & C and provide unified API via pass-through service D? Only D needs to handle API breakage most of the time.
Oh, yes, the Phenom II 550 Black Edition. The early ones like the one I still have stashed away were an unsung bargain. My motherboard has a BIOS option to unlock extra cores, and so I got four cores for the price of two; at the stock clock speed all cores were rock-solid stable. I never did find any unbuffered 4GB ECC RAM sticks, so I had to settle for 4x1GB.

With 16 GB and a SATA3 controller or PCIE-to-NVMe adapter it would still be a respectable performer today, in spite of the DDR2.
Simple question: why is this not a crime?
I live in a 4br house with 12 kids. It would still be a struggle.
