The thing I've always wondered about is: if governments can put street signs for humans on every road, why can't they do the same for autonomous vehicles? Sure, you could vandalize the signs and wreak havoc, but you can also remove a stop sign or hack a traffic light and do the same now. If a standards committee was formed to develop a spec for autonomous vehicle guides it seems like we could get to full autonomy far faster than waiting for AGI. Maybe you still have to drive on backcountry dirt roads, but wouldn't automating 90% of traffic be an enormous win for society?

The stuff you're saying in this thread all sounds plausible, but I have no idea where you're getting this information and there are plenty of other plausible interpretations of the vague Google documentation I've read so far. Can you please provide some more authoritative sources for your claims? Because as-is you're not really reassuring anybody.

IANAVC (not a vc), but i think do this is doubling down on risk.

If you take seed from VC, then:
1. if you are mediocre then things become very difficult for you
2. if you are successful, the VC can discount the risk premium, and push u into an even higher valuation

>if someone like Kubota broke out of the pack by doing something like this, something tells me that Deere would find the money to buy them out, and spike the idea.

Kubota is a Japanese company; Deere can't just buy them out on a whim. The Japanese government would most likely block it.
I don’t see why the same couldn’t apply to supermarket employees, where you can dynamically choose your shifts in real time and pick the highest of all the available work.

I mean there are even a number of worker supply firms out there that provide workers on this basis. A business needs people to clean floors, they issue a request to their supplier and they supply the nearest, cheapest available workers.
+1. We use as many branches as it makes sense on a particular project. Simple ones might have just master (and temporary feature/bugfix branches). Only when we need to have a LTS version do we introduce another branch for it.

I always thought this is also Gitflow, but reading this article, I'm not so sure anymore.
It's interesting that the article mentions the immune system, because I've always considered if allergies are the physical equivalent to mental anxieties.
Perhaps the right thing for GKE to do is introduce a cluster snapshot. Sounds like a great feature.
I was talking to a friend, and mentioned it's probably a good idea not to have a swimming pool, because it's one of the top ways kids die accidentally.

However she said kids don't usually die in their pool, they die in their grandparents pool.

Really nice website. Good job! One thing which I noticed is that on my phone (One plus 6t) main text and cta on the top of the page is not centered :/ probably it's easy fix :)

I think the modern stock market has a structural problem with unrealistic pursuit of growth, which essentially forces public organizations into scope creep, intimately leading to the decline of product quality across the board as successful products make unnecessary changes.
I don't have a horse in the race, but I work with Gartner alot, and would encourage you to actually read their guidance carefully and read about the Magic Quadrant methodology carefully. Gartner analysts go through the features and functions very closely, but the magic quadrant ratings are heavily weighted by Gartner customer and other peer feedback.

The magic quadrant isn't a good housekeeping seal of approval. It's a screener for an architect in Fortune 500 or .Gov to show social proof that their product selection isn't insane.

The "cautions" for GCP are about the nascent state of their field sales and solution architects, enterprise relationship management, and limited partner community.

The "cautions" for Azure are poor reliability, poor support, and sticker shock.

My takeaway was very different from yours. When you read the analysis, it was reflective of a mature, dominant player (AWS) and two highly capable challengers with different issues.

Google is a newer business that is missing some services (ie. anything user facing) and is transitioning from a weird sales model to a more conventional enterprise one. Microsoft has an established business process and best in class sales org, but they tend to use sticks of various types to force adoption and are organizationally poorly equipped to support customers.
Interesting. I have only ever heard "gitflow" used to refer to the specific model described in https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ . The author also wrote a tool, "git-flow", to assist with this model https://github.com/nvie/gitflow .

I have heard the terms "git branching model" or "git workflow" used for the concept that you call "gitflow".
Without even getting into the whole crappy world of SS2Is and "ESNs", a lot of the actual software contractor work in France could also be requalified as employement.

Most often, clients pick your hours, where you can work, assign you what would be a regular job, with very low autonomy on the tools you can use and how you can do things, along with half-year, sometimes more, renewable contracts, and a contractual interdiction to subcrontract in the work.

But most freelancers just don't seem to want to be actual employees, and prefer the higher pay and ability to leave on short notice. Perks that can only hold as long as the talent shortage.
Quite possibly among UI/UX designers, I'd be surprised if most people knew that.

I know I still find it confusing and occasionally have to toggle the switch to both positions before working out which position I want.

Maybe in another 1500 years, bowls will automatically resize to whatever we put in them and that part won't make sense anymore either.
This is pretty much exactly what we do, except add in a third “qa” branch between dev and master, for the purpose of manual testing before things go to prod.
I disagree. Marco didn’t want to use any third party network because he didn’t want any content embedded into his app that he didn’t control.

All of the advertising on the internet that I don’t find abhorrent is controlled by the content creator.
Sure, corporations are using it to reduce wages and benefits, etc. But gig economy is not really a new concept -- almost every tradecraft profession has a similar dynamic; as an electrician you are generally not paid by an employer, you instead go out and get work. This gives you the freedom to set your own hours and tune the amount of work that you take on to support your lifestyle.

I think the problem with a lot of these gig economy services is that they are often pumped by VC/PE money in an attempt to generate monopolies by over-capitalizing. If we got rid of that dynamic (which is a difficult problem) then this disappears. If there are a hundred different Ubers, operating in different cities, then gig workers are put in a better position to bargain by selecting a service to use.

The cost here is that the customer is inconvenienced; a single app with a single payment system seems like a better deal. But distributing this responsibility actually makes the overall system more robust and leads to interesting solutions throughout the stack, rather than converging on whatever terrible systems have been hard-coded by the over-capitalized market leaders.
Drivers get a percentage of each ride.
This is still nothing compared to the migrations of "modern" humans, no?

One of my favorite ideas about human nature is that we are absolutely driven to explore. We walked all the way from Mesopotamia across all of Europe and down to the top of South America! Some ancient madlad hollowed out a boat and paddled to Australia! Why would someone do that?? But we continue to do the same thing trying to get to the moon, Mars, etc. It's a defining feature of the human race.

It's interesting that the neanderthals walked from Europe to Asia, but it's nothing compared to our ancestors explorations.

If so, the None is still handled. Dying painfully is an escape hatch out of the type system in any language that lets you do it.
Less than 15 employees. Several products, two teams, <= 20 nodes.

We migrated our stuff from DigitalOcean around 2018. At the time, we briefly toyed with the notion of self-hosting Kubernetes on DO, but it's complex to manage, and we don't have any dedicated ops staff. GKE is significantly easier to manage.

At that time we migrated, the things you mentioned weren't available/mature, I think. Even today, I'd choose Kubernetes over a complex mishmash of different systems. I like the unified, extensible ops model. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I wish all of GCP could be managed as Kubernetes objects.

Even the worst predictions of runaway warming are going to take decades, if not centuries, to manifest, and at worst we're probably talking about mass migrations as arable regions shift. Earth turning into Venus or Mars is unlikely and even if that is the case such a transformation would realistically take so long that it's frankly hysteria to call it doomsday.

"Drawable" as a name is pretty bland, like patterns. Do we ever really say "drawable" out loud?

So I suspect if we seek more meaningful objects and models, they become more active, have better names, improved design, etc.

If you ask a janitor about Drawable, will he say it's all about draw()? So I think it's kind of a dreary default that we need to avoid and focus on who the actors are, what messages they will pass, and the hidden treasures they encapsulate (don't show, but tell!).

This makes GKE pretty much impossible to use for side projects. Given that it will cost $100 per cluster per month without including the instance costs.

Edit: A single zonal cluster per GCP account is exempt from this fee, so this comment is inaccurate.

Indeed. i have been using Gitflow for the last 4 years on more than 14 repositories with teams spanning from 2 to 30 commiters and it worked. I honestly do not see what is the problem with having the code running on production on master, develop harboring the code deployed on review branch, and release/tags branches deployed on QA environment. Moreover each team can adapt the model to it's own workflow...

I didn't say without any automation. I'm saying that when these unreasonable cases come up, and people appeal, there often isn't even a human brought in at that stage (or at least, not one who's given enough bandwidth to legitimately investigate the situation). Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19124324

Cases like this, and the OP, are common-sense to any human being. Google doesn't especially want them to be resolved in this nonsensical way, they just don't care enough to direct the necessary resources to make sure a human touch is applied to them.

I came in jaded, expecting yet another uninteresting clone. I have to say: it looks really pretty. If you did the modeling and assets, great job. Looks like you even use shaders?

I can’t help but feel you’d be better off using this city for something more compelling. Maybe map the Coronavirus? Or make an API to render content as textures? Maybe make it into a music player that changes the shaders with intensity? I’m sure there’s some ways to leverage this more :)
This is not about microservices talking to each other, but rather about seeing customer-facing product as a whole with all its different components and their versions.

And yes we can agree that there are various (usually "greedy") strategies to simplify this - but this problem is a fact of life and it makes thinking process easier to accept it as such. Same as accepting that it is impossible to solve consensus in async system, but there are algorithms that perform fairly well.

+ I summed this up in more details in the comments down below.
It depends on the context. Just because you can't continue writing to a file that was open, doesn't mean the program should crash.

For example, in a user-facing desktop application, maybe you just catch the exception in a high-level place, log the error, report it to the user, and explain that the action they just attempted failed. They can then try again, without having to restart the entire application.
LightIntegra Technology | Software Engineer Generalist | Vancouver, BC | ONSITE | Full time | www.lightintegra.com | www.thrombolux.com

We exist because of failed platelet transfusions

Failed platelet transfusions are a major issue in healthcare, critically impacting the care of blood cancer patients, and wasting $1.6 billion annually in the US. LightIntegra knows how painful failed transfusions are for physicians, the blood bank, and most importantly, the patients. Understanding this struggle is what gave birth to ThromboLUX, the first analyzer to provide a routine test for platelet activation status. LightIntegra strives to give patients the best possible chance for platelet transfusion success by ensuring all hematology-oncology patients receive non-activated platelets. When using ThromboLUX, hospitals have seen an average reduction in prophylactic platelet utilization by 19.5%. This reduction is connected to fewer patients needing massive prophylactic platelet transfusion support.

ThromboLUX is a non-invasive, five-minute, easy-to-use optical test, without the need for dilution or the addition of reagents. It relies on the principle of dynamic light scattering to determine the size and distribution of all particles in a platelet sample.

TL;DR: Salt is complex, multi-purpose tool, with event-driven orchestration and remote execution engine capabilities. In other words, it implicitly does what Ansible can do, plus many other things.
What I personally like the most is the ease to develop and extend features, vs., e.g., a clogged DSL as many popular tools (unfortunately) impose.
Having made the same observation as you, I always preferred the formulation in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringelmann_effect. Although the Wikipedia article lists "loss of motivation" as a cause, it originally focussed more on coordination problems growing with group size–sort of a reverse Metcalf'.

In that sense it avoids the lazy cynicism of writing off whole groups of people as stupid or unmotivated (i. e. all of Dilbert). Instead, it's a starting point to consider how much we can still improve what's arguably humanity's claim to fame, the ability to cooperate.

> Typescript and C# have demonstrated that MS can design good languages

I would make a slight correction, Typescript and C# have proven that Anders Hejlsberg can design good languages, not MS.

Honestly, Hejlsberg is like the Midas of programming languages.

That man is a language designing genius.

He is the main designer behind:

Delphi (which inspired VB6, Microsoft's DOMINANT language through the 90's. But it's so similar to Delphi, that you can pretty much credit Hejlsberg for it's success), C#, and Typescript

Sometimes whole companies get credit for the genius of what is really just one or two architects.

When it comes to Apple innovations, it's Jobs

And when it comes to MS language innovations, with the exception of F#, it's Hejlsberg.
Wait wait, the evidence for "Musk was personally involved" was "his cousin did it"? I mean, it's hard to tell whether there's any wrongdoing here to allege at all, honestly. But to the extent there is: I think the upthread question is still unanswered. What does this have to do with Tesla?

In real world software dev, I fail to see how a release branch is a flaw. It’s completely reasonable to want to test something in a “gold-master” state before shipping it to prod. Regardless of how many tests you have, that’s just a good idea.
They would be, but it's also unlikely you would be able to write something useful using only the id and value such that you might confuse something.

There's some "self-limiting" - the smaller the interface, the more likely you get accidental implementation, but also the less likely you are to confuse them in a way that typechecks but actually does something unexpected.

A practical example might be io.Closer - I am certain I implemented this in a dozen types I never intend to pass to any io functions. But no io functions actually take just a Closer, and if I did write some generic cleanup routine that only requires a Closer, it's probably fine and maybe even good if it works on byte IO and gRPC connections and Kafka streams. (Especially without generics, it might be the best I can do.)

I am sick of this and thinking about canceling youtube premium...
These aren't jobs, all jobs I know require a lengthy job application and thorough screening so you probably wont even get it. The fact that it is possible to earn money without all of that is a good thing, and governments trying to outlaw such work is horrible imo.

And no, Ubers model wont work with employees due to the minimum hourly wage. Currently people need to do a good job to earn money, but if each worker is guaranteed a certain amount per hour then uber will be forced to start screening and firing applicants manually like everyone else instead of the current automated process.
By this amazing logic, that people (regulators) do what's best for somebody else who is not even oneself should be an even faultier assumption.
With Uber want to work? Press a button. Want to take a break? Press a button. Want to work again? Press a button. Take as long a break as you want. Work as long as you want. No timecards. No obnoxious coworkers. No intrusive questions. No douchebag bosses making your life a living hell. In what other job do you have this sort of freedom without the instability of traditional selfemployment? What more could you ask for? Now it'll all be ruined for everybody because of the greed and entitlement of a few.

Its side hustle money for bored college kids with some free time. They NEVER promised anything more. They're not forcing you to work for them. If you're a a single mother raising 5 kids on Uber alone you're doing it wrong.
Maybe they do, but not in the obvious way. DMCA is the sledge hammer they use to force sites into these more terrible arrangements.
