> But nah, the "market" apparently entirely consists of assholes on Wall Street playing Capitalism...

I really wish that wasn't so close to the truth.

Unfortunately the assholes on Wall Street also have the power to bend things to favor their interests at the expense of people doing real things.

But don't worry, I am SURE that Steve Mnuchin and his investment banker buddies will unselfishly do the right thing as they dole out billions upon billions. We'll see. After all, Trump has told us he always hires "THE BEST PEOPLE", right?
depends on whether you think creating a small research network is a bigger contribution than the billions spent by the private sector to build it into what it is today.

An important difference is that Python 3.0 arrived soon, while it took ages for a complete Perl 6 release to be available. That is, if you didn't want to learn or use Python 2.x because it was soon going to be obsolete, you already had a working alternative; but if you didn't want to learn or use Perl 5.x because it was soon going to be obsolete, for a significant amount of time Perl 6 wasn't an option.
It even has mobile first under design and UX.
No tool is going to do the job of establishing boundaries with your team members so you can do your best work. You decide that.

Any tool can be positive or negative depending on its use and context. I do deep work and have no problem using Slack because my team talks about how we can use it best, and we use it that way.

In the 80s sampling was kinda a gray area. But by the 90s all samples were cleared, or too obtuse to figure out the source.... I guess the British were ahead of the US in this.

"In 1991, songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan sued rapper Biz Markie after he sampled O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)" on the album I Need a Haircut. The court ruled that sampling without permission infringed copyright. Instead of asking for royalties, O'Sullivan forced Biz Markie's label Warner Bros to recall the album until the song was removed.

Nelson George described it as the "most damaging example of anti-hip hop vindictiveness", which "sent a chill through the industry that is still felt".[39] The Washington Post wrote in 2018 that "no court decision has changed the sound of pop music as much as this", likening it to banning a musical instrument"

> to track limb movements you need EMG attached to your legs and then to a recorder

I've had this problem for many years where my legs don't relax when I sleep. So when I wake up my legs are always tired and sore. It's not serious enough to cause any major health issues but very annoying. I've visited many doctors and none were able to provide any useful information.

I was thinking of attaching EMG and getting some data for analysis. But I wouldn't even know where to start.
That ALGOL-68 was hated by almost everyone who like previous ALGOL versions is not to be discounted.

ALGOL-68 was loved by people who would have never used ALGOL to begin with (and they didn't start doing so with ALGOL-68).

It was difficult to write compilers for, slow & far too complex.

You are correct that ColdFusion pioneered some modern features, but the author had a specific definition of influence, and states: "Before we start, a quick primer on finding influence. Just knowing that X was the first language with feature Z doesn’t mean that X actually influenced Z.", and then goes on to state that influence only counts if it exists in citations of papers or documentation.

You can absolutely go to town arguing whether or not their definition of influence makes sense, though.
if you happened to live in Germany there is a law in place that force ISPs to allow that. But if you would live in Germany you would probably know about this. That said there is no technical reason making it impossible. If you connect an unknown device here, you get access to the customer web panel only and can register your device using it. Afterwards it gets provisioned as usual (with caveats [no PacketCable for example])

We do the same. We use a #news channel. We also include feeds for Rubygem releases, product blogs, security related mailing lists and so on. It’s a nice way to create a shared view of a dev supply chain.
I strongly disagree with this. It is impossible to work on a task and engage in concentration to solve an issue with constant interruptions. If you're only doing negligible pithy "problems" then it's fine but for difficult problems you absolutely need to be able to concentrate. Here's some other real-life examples where concentration is important:

a. A library. There's a reason it's quiet and not in the middle of a market.

b. A car. There's a reason using a mobile phone whilst driving is illegal.

c. Exams. There's a reason they don't do exams in the middle of a PE lesson.

d. Cubicles or offices. There's a reason they were invented for developers to work in. Open-plan offices are the worst. IM seems to be bypassing this "cubicle" design and still expecting the same type of output, which is impossible.

Of course, if you're right that we're "stuck in the past" I expect to see all of these scenarios transform into loud, noisy affairs with constant interruptions. Obviously you feel they will?

Some people feel that asking and answering questions is the same as "work" and I worked in a place where there were many teams engaged in generating this "work", but for the developers in the company nothing was worse than constant interruptions. Some people just didn't get it. One guy even bought ear defenders and we'd go "do not disturb" on Skype because else nothing would get done and there would be complaints from these "noisy" types that work wasn't being finished in a timely manner...... ironically they were completely oblivious to the fact that they were the ones slowing down work by asking "is it done?" "how are you doing?" "can I confirm what you're doing?" every 5 minutes. To concentrate, you need no interruptions.

On my Slack channels, I get some questions about work (that then typically involve them ringing me anyway even if I answer in text, very irritating) or people posting dumb articles or memes rofl lol garbage.

Did his business already have a robust take-out business? If so, I wouldn't be surprised by this comment. I would expect revenues, for awhile, to be the same or even increase... though as individual customers circumstances turn less certain I would expect that to decline over time. Certainly there's less labor overhead, and slightly less expense for utilities, cleaning supplies, etc. But larger pieces, like rents, would remain the same absent some sort of accommodation for the crisis.

A business that didn't have a robust take-out business prior to the crisis I would expect to fare worse. You'd have to do things like get the word out that you are a take out business for one... and some couldn't likely make that transition. Would you order fine dining take out? Sure the food might be good, but half the reason to go to a good restaurant, rather than a cheaper one, is the service.

On a somewhat related note, I'm trying to understand what entry-level means. Is it a college grad? Is someone with large amounts of experience who switching to a similar role in a widely different domain entry level? What about someone with years of experience in hobbyist / open source work in a domain, but lacks any professional experience? Are they entry level? What about a long time web developer trying to move to graphics programming or an embedded engineering wanting to move to web development?

Content is king; Netflix, as long as it doesn't have exclusive rights, is just a middleman trying to extract rents. As soon as technically competent competitors popped up (Amazon etc.) Netflix's margin on licensed content is liable to be squeezed.

That's why Netflix borrows so much to spend on creating its own content. It's not viable otherwise.
Completely agree with the sentiment. I think most often it is inadequate default configuration that bottle-necks somewhere, that never got tested with more than a handful of users at a time. Going to a hundred highlights some bugs. going to 1000 others. On the other hand, I have worked on a project for USDA and they had 10 year old servers running 15 year old software and did not allow any system administration, while the system admins were some unknown government employees completely inaccessible.

Underpinning this (and similar announcements in other western economies) is the fact that in the last 4 to 8 years, most of the "new jobs" created have in fact been part-time. Just like for the number of covid infected vs detected, this might very be the tip of the iceberg.
GE Employees Lit Up with Sensitive Doc Breach
The danger was businesses losing customers (revenue/income), which these initial numbers confirm...but on the other hand these jobless folks (and the whole country)just took out a $6T loan, of which $5.75T is going to these businesses ($1.75 will not have to be paid back and $4T will be interest free loans, and likely in may cases these companies will actually have negative interest rates, in other words they will make money on borrowing these tax payer loans). These are the very same companies that will also avoid paying US taxes.

Public companies cut all their costs/expenses and are going to be given $5.75T...mainstreet can't buy on these lows (because they have no jobs/income, fear and lack of liquidity are a bad combination) and the companies are flush with cash to buy back stocks now before they get the real windfall from tax payers. In short, public companies will be spending today to buy their own stock.
Frankly we have a formal education system that is actively hostile to training people to do jobs, and instead teaches "fundamentals" and "how to learn". There's tremendous support for those concepts, though I personally consider them bogus. If we truly want cross trained people, the education system is the one that needs to change. Otherwise the funding and time that could be used for jobs training will always be soaked up by it. My humble opinion.

I know its not a popular opinion, but when I see my Nanny wanting to get ahead by taking night classes, and those classes have her studying and writing 19th century poetry... I can't help but feel deeply frustrated by the disconnect. How could she possibly stay motivated to finish school, when its only giving her hoops to jump through and no practical skills to get into a better job? How could I convince her to e.g. take programming lessons from me, when society and her parents are telling her a college degree (that, at this rate, she'll unlikely obtain) is what will help her most? /rant

The problem with having no throttling is that the system will just keep on running happily, until you get to the point where resources become more limited. You will not get any early feedback that your system is constantly underprovisioned. Try doing this on a multi-tenant cluster, where new pods spawned by other teams/people come and go constantly. You won't be able to get any reliable performance characteristics in environments like that.

For such clusters, it's necessary to set up stuff like the LimitRanger (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/limit-range/) to put a hard constant bound between requests and limits.
Us = the world/humanity, not the USA. China's economic growth has lifted hundreds of millions from poverty, and it would not have happened without globalization.
I'm not sure if the lessons will be interpreted in this way, or even remembered once things go back to some form of normalcy, at least for the monied classes that hold the largest microphones in our society.

The lessons learned from the conflict in Vietnam was not that "war is a racket" or "the US shouldn't militarily intervene unless it's a last resort". It was simply that "the US should use proxies where possible and only intervene where the opposition has a limited capacity to fight back".

And even then, they've greatly overestimated their strength in these conflicts. Because the people with the largest microphones said it would be enough to win.
And because they had only one source of data, namely their watch/armband, and were not cross referencing it with search queries, YouTube views, etc. Unlike Google, needless to say.

No one is doing anything new in COBOL but there is so much old stuff that could only be replaced by a massive investment in rebuilding infrastructure. COBOL isn't dying anytime soon.

At one point, like 10-15 years ago, I knew experienced well paid COBOL programmers being laid off and being replaced by kids fresh out of school. And then CS programs, if not outright stopped, at least greatly reduced teaching COBOL courses. And no one coming out of school learning Java and Python and Node wants to write COBOL.

And then old timer COBOL programmers started retiring, but companies (especially banks) were not replacing their existing mainframe infrastructure. So now you have a gap between supply (COBOL programmers) and demand ( mostly banks), to the point that retired programmers are doing part time work for $200 an hour.

Its not individuals buying, individuals sold to secure cash during this unknown period...it is the corporations themselves buying in bulk now, because they are flush with cash, cut all costs, and have $5.75T in cash coming their way in the form of loans that will not need to be repaid ($1.75T worth) and negative interest loans ($4T worth). Point is companies will be buying today while they can.

I don't think that comparison works.

There, you had relatively short duration disasters where very soon afterwards, coordinated efforts were dedicated to putting the pieces back together.

Now, most of the press and leadership seems to be thinking only about how to manage the health related consequences of an ongoing crisis. I really don't hear anyone strategizing how to put the pieces back together or how to contain the crisis (note that I did not say contain the disease) so things don't fall apart so completely. There is a profound absence of thought amongst those in decision-making positions, at least insofar as I can see.

Also worth noting the equity they get dilutes existing equity meaning it tends to screw the shareholders (but not as bad as insolvency). This is a good thing when you bail out companies that messed up. If you have a stake in a company you shouldn't ever want a bailout.
