I have "hobby" experience in React, Vue and Node if that counts. My resume contains a Github link plus one open source contribution on a React-based project. I just don't put them in my LinkedIn profile because it would be confusing to say "I know XYZ" in a professional profile but cannot list XYZ for something I did at work.

I think I've seen that roadmap diagram before and I notice that in every place I've worked/contracted at, their skills needs usually stop short after the "Version control" part. They don't do packages, modules and I am left in the dark about the deployment process. And I don't know if that lack of transparency of SDLC is done to me on purpose since for a long time I've been a contract dev hired to do some specific thing.

However, not everyone is privileged enough to go through the "standard techie" experience. Some of us never even heard about Leetcode until long after graduation, some of us only have experience in companies that don't believe in concepts like testing and good security.

Looks like the ideal places for me are somewhere that bridges the gap between the haves and the have-nots. A place that still has legacy work to be done but also is up to speed with newer things in other aspects. Does working at traditional F500 companies cut it?
Totally agree that in general the endless naval gazing in physics (multi-verse / string theory etc) seems like a colossal waste of time.
For anyone interested, there's a (virtual) knowledge graph conference going on in May (www.knowledgegraph.tech). Ignore the pricing, since it reflects the original in-person event. I'm organizing an investor pitch session for this conference and am looking for early (A, seed, or pre-seed) startups interested in participating - let me know if interested!
I think you make some good points here, and RLS is an ideal data security model in many respects.

The parent's point is that tooling around this is weak, which undermines its value. Not being able to review and easily test authz changes will almost certainly lead to issues.
If only I could figure out a way of scribbling with the iPadPro pen and get it into org mode.
Thank goodness with git you can just change your remote. This is beginning to sound like YouTube!
In a way, BRK-B is an index on it's own.
I wonder if mildly symptomatic healthcare providers should treat patients known to have the same strain. As opposed to fully benching those providers, I mean.
It's funny to me that dark themes seem to be the preferred theme type in online discussions, because in practice, most people I know prefer a light theme on a monitor set to high contrast and relatively low brightness in a well lit setting. I too prefer that, as it seems to reduce (eliminate?) my eyestrain after hours on the computer.
Who seriously thought the Battery Status API was a good idea? Someone thought this was useful enough to write a spec for it...
Yes! He also mentions that NetBSD and OpenBSD have "kernel interface itself is highly stable anyways" but doesn't elaborate on how that's different from Linux's interface stability.

The argument doesn't hang together. He can't claim that changes to userland tools aren't possible whilst at the same time claiming it's because the existing interfaces never change.
I think the three usages of containers often get conflated.

1) Packaging
2) Isolation
3) Secure isolation

Containers have dong a good job of packaging and isolating applications. This is has been a boon to development. Particularly with testing and deploying applications in a more or less consistent state and managing those applications. Note that these benefits have nothing to do with security.

Containers have done a poor job of being secure against malicious actors but that doesn't mean the isolation is useless. From a security point of view you just have to treat it the same as if it was running outside the container(s).

One day we'll hopefully get something better from a security POV but that doesn't mean packaging and isolation are worthless in themselves, even if they don't add any security. The problem comes when people assume containers add more security than they do.
I am a fan of the Switch too, but the Xbox One X offers the ability to use performance modes which reduce the resolution for better frame rate. Also, the arguably best game on Switch, Zelda: BOTW, drops in frame rate a lot.
if it is only running the UI dashboard, it will slow down appropriately; if running an intensive software title, it will clock up to theoretical max frequency.

There should be power saving modes but that's not what they're talking about. Sony is saying that you can run the CPU at 3.5 GHz xor the GPU at 2.2 GHz but they can't both run at full speed at the same time. So maybe you can have CPU @ 3.3 and GPU @ 2.2 (favoring GPU) or you can have CPU @ 3.5 and GPU @ 2.0 (favoring CPU). I guess most games will favor the GPU but I'm not a game developer.

(As an aside, I coined the term "power shifting" in 2005 to refer to this concept and I'm happy to see it being incorporated into basically everything, even if they probably independently reinvented it.)
Yes, we built vagon on top of AWS with goal of eventually supporting multiple cloud providers. Our thinking is there's already a reliable, state of the art network of datacenters around the globe for our consumption, it makes sense to use it.
Where did you find this data?
Very good point. I think it's closer to 21 days lagged, because the vast majority (95th percentile) have a 6 day incubation period and a shorter low symptom to death period, but regardless it is clearly not months.
>NASA is ultimately a science institution, I think diverting effort away from infrastructure management and towards studying data is likely a wise decision.

Indeed. I am glad to see them leveraging the power of an already proven infrastructure provider rather than spending X billions of dollars trying to build and maintain their own.
> We are taking the broadest possible interpretation of US sanctions law to allow as much access to GitHub as possible and we are, as far as I know, the only major vendor to offer public repo access in US-sanctioned countries like Iran, Syria, and Cuba.

Does this mean that users in sanctioned countries can create accounts and use the site noncommercially as normal, just as long as they don’t have private repos? It was my understanding that you will nuke ANY account possessed by someone from a sanctioned country.

PS: Please stop doing business with ICE.
I suppose you're doing what might be a resource intensive task and want to be sure you don't kill the battery.

Granted I get folks might feel a rando website that is resource intensive would be horrific, but maybe we're talking about some specific web app / use case.
There is definitely not enough tests to test the entire population of a country every 36 hours. Even assuming a single person/testing machine could do 5000 tests a day (no idea if that's a reasonable number or not) to test every American every 36hrs would need like 40000 setups.
The problem is that we think of the internet as the visionary stuff that was in Wired magazine in the 90s... "long tail".

The reality is that you have wave after wave of consolidation. Often the savings if any are nebulous. Most of the issues with manufacturing in western countries and the US in particular are accounting and tax based.
For those who are infected with Covid-19, but observe low severity in symptoms, is there a correlation to how they'll fare through the disease?

I.e., perhaps they need not even take this medication?
If I consistently fail interviews then it's reasonable for me to conclude that I really could be an imposter. But I have gotten interviews from many places small and big, including some FAANGs and Bay Area companies.

If it's just first impressions then I could be like a decent TV show but with a bad pilot. Seems like I might be an "acquired taste" kind of professional.
That isolation really contributed to a sense of wonder & discovery for me. The growth of game guides and later the internet pulled back the curtain, so to speak.

Not all bad of course. The dev console in Oblivion both broke me of my video game habits & got me interested in programming.
Netflix to reduce EU bandwidth by 25%
This would be an extremely valuable addition. Please consider it.
It looks startling, but could be true. Reportedly, the health workers in Italy had to do some fairly brutal prioritisation in triage. If you have a lot more patients requiring ICU than you have stations, you end up with a high proportion of younger patients in ICU even if they are a low proportion overall.
I live in Chicago, and will email you soon.
It's also completely broken when using GTK themes with Firefox installed with snap.
Not enough that I would feel confident publically stating. I think our best hope for accurate calibration would be to fit the data as it comes out (hence why we are focusing our efforts here) or to do a post-hoc analysis of a few examples, e.g. Wuhan vs South Korea. I'll note that mitigation effects will be best measured as a reduction in exponential growth.

African infrastructure projects often hurt, not help, local people
Good points! We've definitely seen delivery networks flail under certain conditions, like lack of density. Our hope is that by making both optimization and simulation more accessible to software engineers, we can help organizations understand and preempt problems like that.

Which brings up the answer to your question: We're targeting developers. Companies that build integer programming solvers and similar tech have great tools for PhDs in Operations Research who have a lot of mathematical sophistication. We think there is an underserved market of software engineers who can benefit from different technology.
Responses like this are so disgusting to me. It perfectly highlights that the only way to get treated fairly on the system is to be important enough to make the CEO look bad and get a direct response from him.

They have unlimited resources more or less to review sanctions cases, they choose to spend them on buybacks, and executive bonuses, and private jets. They are not ever going to take the time to do this properly because the interests of their users are their last priority.

Sounds like a great time to get off the github platform as soon as possible before your repos dissappear because some iranian guy posted an issue.

Note they didn't mention why they incorrectly flagged the repo or take any responisbility for doing so, or make any claim that it's not going to happen in the future. They just claim it's the government's fault. Bullshit.
I'm not a big gamer, but at this point it seems like Microsoft and Sony are just selling the same hardware. There are very minor differences, but I remember when N64 was such a vastly different experience from the PlayStation. Even the original Xbox was differentiated - it had a hard drive and an Intel Pentium III and Nvidia graphics. Now, they're basically identical hardware. Maybe the PS5 will load games a little faster and maybe the Xbox Series X will have a little more power, but there's nothing radically different.

In a lot of ways, it feels like I should be able to buy one and then just buy a license to play games designed for the other system. Why should I buy (basically) the same processor, same RAM, same graphics, etc. twice?

N64 and PS1 could do very different things and the consoles felt very different and led to very different games. With XSX and PS5, I'd rather throw Sony some money so I can play PS5 games on an Xbox Series X (or Microsoft to play XSX games on the PS5) than create a lot of e-waste buying an undifferentiated platform twice.

Am I missing something about the consoles (other than the whole business/market aspect)?
Yes, the same GPU (different size though) and same CPU. The previous generation was also mostly the same.

Does small file IO still suck or is it better now with the 2.0 version?
Their 6+ year engineers are getting paid less than many interns do in America according to said poster. The big tech monopoly means that hiring good senior engineers is nearly impossible. :)
Thank you for putting this together!

A suggestion: adding decimal separators to numbers in the "Cases through time" chart for better readability.
It may seem that way but I assure you it's not. You can tell by comparing our prices to workspaces and see that we're more affordable. When we started to work on vagon we did consider using Workspaces under the hood but opted to develop our own infrastructure on top of EC2 and our own display protocol instead of using Teradici PCoIP like Workspaces.
What are the good ways to learn ML?
Like Chaos Monkey, but with import/export bans and/or tariffs?
The only attempts I've seen are advanced package managers for Linux, like the stuff used by NixOS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NixOS

Unfortunately these tend to be overly complex and have too steep of a learning curve, and they don't address all the issues.

The closest is probably apps on mobile, but again that doesn't address all the issues and comes with a whole set of restrictions that are very problematic outside small single-user devices.
(Generalized cliche) There are two kinds of systems, ones that everyone complains about, and ones that no one uses.

I'm also reminded of the "expert beginner" series of blog posts about jealously guarded fiefdoms and the folks that dominate them.

Academia lost its way, not Physics.
Creating Animations with UIKit and Core Animation
Off the top of my head:

- qmake doesn't support true dependencies between subprojects (ie, if I ask it to build a/b/c, it can't know that a/b/c depends on d/e/f)

- qmake's support for integrating additional compilers is inscrutable and again, has terrible issues with parallelism and dependencies

- the way it is backed by make is prone to incremental build issues
True. But one brick is not a viable castle wall.
IP may be better from an ABI standpoint, but I still find its output to be much harder to parse with the Mk 1 Eyeball than ifconfig. Most of that is probably just ip shoving more information on the screen than ifconfig, but most of the information isn't useful 99% of the time and maybe it would be nicer if ip pared down some of the "qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default" noise unless someone adds a "verbose" parameter?

Or maybe only show them in the basic use case when they are set to something other than the default?

All of the "valid_lft" lines add a lot of visual noise.
Yeah. I really like the beauty of the iOS Files api - it acts as a very convenient bridge.

So, supposing Dropbox has a sync with the files api, then that sync would be the responsibility (and implemented by) the Dropbox app. All you need to is ensure that you write into Files api properly (Ie don’t leave any locks around on files, etc - I’m not an iOS developer so I have no idea what’s actually required for very good/correct Files api interoperation, but it should be in Apple docs).

With a git repo program like Working Copy, you’d just write into its Files space (same as above for Dropbox), then Working Copy handles the syncing. Since Working Copy has no such auto sync as something like Dropbox would have, since WC is a git repo app and not a cloud files service, the user would manually open it themselves and make a commit and push it at their own choosing. Any writes to WC in the meantime will just overwrite. That’s all understood by the user , if he’s using a git repo as his files backup. I prefer manually syncing my files as commits to a repo, so this all works beautifully for me .

I don’t like placing the security of my synchronization in the hands of cloud files providers such as Dropbox or Google Drive. I use multiple iPads and laptops at once, so google drive and Dropbox bugs in sync may bite me. For notes this is best for me, since note update frequency of one to five times an hour doesn’t need any auto sync. But most users, even programmers, that I know don’t seem to enjoy this level of exactness.
You seem to completely have missed what the foundation is about.
Darn, got my hopes up.

Not really an accounting issue & messing with those numbers to highlight a risk is just asking for trouble.

Companies are required to disclose significant risks, but the quality of that disclosure...varies.
Maybe something like https://hitrecord.org - click find a project
I'm slightly disappointed that clicking on it didn't just return a HTTP 418 error, but was nontheless satisfied with the result.
Coronavirus Cybersecurity Advice from Ilia Kolochenko of ImmuniWeb
Agreed. Maybe only useful for laptops used as 'kiosks' (launching directly to app without a window manager)?
I totally agree, in case someone brings up Italy and their current number of deaths to Corona - this article describes deaths to the common flu from 2013 through 2017, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S120197121....

The numbers look like this:

Season - Deaths:
2013/14 - 7,027
2014/15 - 20,259
2015/16 - 15,801
2016/17 - 24,981

What makes Corona virus trigger lockdowns and panic is that the current 3,400 deaths has happened during a short timespan. But the total number of deaths is still a factor 7 less than the 2016/17 flu season, which was not covered nearly as extensive as the current Corona virus.

So while every death is tragic, the common flu is still a worse threat to the elderly and that is even though a vaccine is produced every year.
Seriously. “We manage OK without static types” is one thing but “LOL we’re not n00bs so we don’t need your productivity-killing static types” is... wow. WTF. Keep anything that team writes far away from important data and processes, please.
None of those generally certified labs have any clue how to develop a new test. Not even a test that is exactly the same as a test they already have. There are 1000's of them, because you need very little training to push some buttons and enter data into forms. Those generally certified labs did what they are supposed to do. They looked to the government for guidance on what to test and how. The gov't made many mistakes: disbanding of the CDC pandemic response team. Putting anti-science Pence in charge. Forming a CDC team that was heavy on science and management but light on epidemiology. Not following the WHO's lead on their already established and working test. Listening to pharma's explanation about what they will be able to do in 12-18 months and confusing that with a statement about what they can do now. These are all mistakes that didn't have to happen and happened because morons are in charge.
I always thought that autonomous driving was more than 10 years off (if not 20) for cars in city traffic. But I thought trucking in the US had a chance for intersate traffic till the proverbial last mile, because there are less edge cases that you need to train the model. Were you off by just 3 years for interstate “driving” till the last mile?

Will investors lose their loss memory and a whole new set will invest in the space in say 3 years.

It's local to the US and it's prejudice and propaganda, so...?
If they fixed the clock it would have to be lower which would lead to lower performance.
Yes, SSR and static are not the same.
Did you read his mail though? He literally answers this criticism. ZFS is not userland so kernel developers are free to break it, just like they can break ext4 and do, and then they fix them. The problem with ZFS is that they can't fix it because it's not part of linux. It's a 3rd party kernel module. So your entire comment reads like a misunderstanding of the situation.
Follow the footprints and mind the gaps: a new look at the origin of tetrapods
On a side note, purchasing a reverse osmosis water filter was one of the best choices I’ve ever made in my life. I’ve gotten so much return value from it.

No more waking up in the morning thirsty as hell. Or constantly filling galling jugs at the store. Or littering the house with bottles and bottles of water.

For the longest time the reverse osmosis water filter systems didn’t really improve in design, so changing filters was a bit of a pain. Water would leak everywhere and you had to put considerable effort every time you wanted to open the system up.

Recently, I got a new system called the Brondell Circle Reverse System. It’s beautiful. Easy to change filters. Reverse flushing so your filters last longer. Reduced pressure so you don’t have to worry about leakages; wastes less water as it’s filtering.

Like watching Christ turn water into wine every morning. A miracle.

People lament about the quality of their water. And rightfully so when it endangers the lives of their children.

But with a little foresight, while the government and municipal districts get their shit together, you can solve the problem at home. It’s remarkable. Whatever godforsaken elements fall into the water, a reverse osmosis water filter can get 99% of it out.

A miracle for our time.
My point was that, in France, where you have a strong social net that offers everyone to subsist, have a place to leave and health insurance, is not preventing people from protesting for more rights - at the opposite.
Yes, and that claim is wrong. Germany has had 50,000 US troops stationed in it for 75 years and the most rebellious thing they've done is politely ask for their gold back (US said no). No need to subvert a country you already have firm control over.
I think it depends a lot on age and level of eyesight. I've never once felt eye strain from looking at a dark theme, and if a room is even somewhat dark then a blindingly white screen gives me a headache. I can always fiddle with my brightness as needed for different situations, at least on my phone, but that's kind of a pain. On a desktop monitor it's usually a significantly bigger pain.
iSH is pretty great. I've been using it for a while, and (even with all its shortcomings) it really drives home the point that the iPad (even the Mini 5) is a beast of a machine.
It's a comprehensive reply -- good stuff, and worth a read.

The short version:
> "As you can see, the GNU inetutils and NET-3 net-tools ifconfigs have some marked deficiencies, with respect to IPv6, with respect to interfaces that have multiple addresses, and with respect to functionality like -l.

> The IPv6 problem is in part some missing code in the tools themselves. But in the main it is caused by the fact that Linux does not (as other operating systems do) provide IPv6 functionality through the ioctl() interface. It only lets programs see and manipulate IPv4 addresses through the networking ioctl()s.

> Linux instead provides this functionality through a different interface, send() and recv() on a special, and somewhat odd, address family of sockets, AF_NETLINK.

> The GNU and NET-3 ifconfigs could have been adjusted to use this new API. The argument against doing so was that it was not portable to other operating systems, but these programs were in practice already not portable anyway so that was not much of an argument.

> But they weren't adjusted, and remain as aforeshown to this day."
You're saying the firm retroactively invoiced the company for the lunch the investor had (and ostensibly paid for) with you?
