HTTP/2 doesn’t replace the need for UDP at all, not in the slightest. For latency-sensitive applications, it provides no advantages over HTTP that I can tell.

The problem is with TCP, and the problem with TCP is that it prioritizes in-order delivery, and missed packets cause head of line blocking. HTTP/2 is designed to solve head of line blocking, but since it’s built on top of TCP, it can’t solve the issue in this case.
Glad to see Deis still alive. The developer tools/cloud devops field doesn't pay but it is important to have smaller players like Deis and Flynn around otherwise we would all be forced to suck from the teats of the AWS-GOOG-MSFT oligopoly.
I believe there are two sides I'm aware of when it comes to people. Firstly there exists persons that consider work as another extension of life with social merit. Secondly the persons that think of work as work and disregard any social merit because they care more about it outside of work.

In my opinion if we shut out the first classification we're making these persons miserable because they see social merit in work. I also believe work has become overly optimized compared to previous years and where people should still be able to enjoy social merit if they desire it.
"The political quarter that was in denial was mainly the POTUS and those who simply follow whatever the POTUS is doing without independent thought"

How did you come to that conclusion? What about the Democrats in New York, which is the epicenter of the virus outbreak right now (certainly the US and probably the world)? I remember hearing someone on TV (probably DeBlasio or Cuomo) saying that public schools were not going to close.
Very cool! How did you make this? I wonder if having the vocalizations of a prey animal (i.e. mouse) would provoke a stronger response in your cat than a generic beeping.
Exactly the same thing happened to me with Office Max. I told them to cancel.
This is interesting. Are they only allowed to sue to force going to arbitration, or is the situation opened to allow a lawsuit for whatever the original dispute was?
Target is pretty great, I replaced Amazon with Target for most things.
They mention lending excess to other states, on condition they get them back if needed... I wonder how that would be enforced?

Here is the text from one of the interviewer who clear the fb interview "The second interview was very hard they asked me a leetcode hard question and I was only able to solve it because I did the exact question before. Complete luck there. Personally I think it was unreasonable to expect someone to solve that difficult of a question in 30 minutes.

Very much so! And this seems to be why Alsup wanted the discovery documents made public, so people could draw their own conclusions on the lack of independence of the CPR.

I must confess I don't like the whole model of arbitration, as it feels full of perverse incentives to begin with - an arbitrator gets selected, so one that finds against the big company too often won't be getting much work!
Lots of people use WebRTC DataChannels for this! The real tech here is SCTP, and it is pretty amazing. It runs over UDP, and allows you to send messages larger than MTU. You can also choose ordered/unordered and lossy/non-lossy depending on what you are trying to do.

We worked on a Pure Go implementation[0]. If you are interested in learning more. Most people (all browsers) use libusrsctp the C implementation.

I ordered a car port tent thing, showed as in stock, shipping in a few days. 8 weeks later never arrived, no notifications, only an order confirmation that said shipping in a few days. I called Home Depot and they said they don't have them in stock, they refunded me and gave me a $200 credit so I was happy. Couldn't believe how broke the ordering process was though.
I guess it depends what you mean by that exactly. Military "group" sizes range from squads (~30 people) to corps (~50,000 people). According to the article, the dyad sizes here would be huge; but my hypothesis was that point-to-point communication is often not necessary in military organizations due to the rigid structure.
Please everyone disregard this quite disingenuous misinformation.

This paper does simple math: attributed deaths / "confirmed cases" in "OECD" countries (not China) from January 1 to March 2. It includes such happy data points a "Spain: 123 confirmed cases, 0 deaths", which is horrifically, horrifically misleading. Johns Hopkins has Spain as 136,675 cases and 13,341 deaths at the time I write this.

As someone who just got off the phone with Lowes not an hour ago with a very similar appliance delivery issue, I took a little solace in your comment since I at least feel like I didn't just choose the wrong hardware store.

With that said, the problems with my order are somewhat mind boggling. I received an email notifying me that my appliance would be delivered on 4/7 and to be home in a 12hr window. When I, by luck, contacted the store to talk about another problem I'm having with this order they informed me it will likely be another 5-8 days until its actually delivered and that this is a known issue with their system. How does a known issue where you're telling your customers to be home for a delivery on a day a week+ removed from the actual delivery survive for long enough for it to be common knowledge?
>You're not their customer, advertisers are

Then it's high time everyone but advertisers stopped using google search and start using anything but.

If advertisers are their customers, so be it; let them have it.
CNN's website spent weeks running the "you should be more worried about the flu" lie.
That's because they already have to delivery that fast for car repair shops. Fast delivery has never been an extra for them, it's always been the core product.

> doesn't have any terms which stop payment because the schools close during the year

And so they shouldn't! In many (most?) US states, the public schools are unconditionally funded by the state based on student enrollment figures. Cutting teacher pay during a closure under such a system would be a purely greedy move.

Hey, wait until the US midwest goes dust bowl.
UDP was never "needed". It's been used in real-time applications because there are latency benefits to datagram protocols.

And browsers can indeed use UDP. WebRTC data channels are SCTP over DTLS, which is UDP based.

Good presenters weave speech, gestures, emotions, and--last but not least--visual props into a cohesive experience. If the slides are fundamental to your talk you need to control the flow to avoid disruption.

If they aren't, why do you have slides in the first place?

speaking from my personal experience, I've seen non-competes being pretty pervasive outside tech and some states like CA or MA, I've had competitors flat out refuse to proceed with an interview because I had a non-compete. whether it is enforceable is a different question but it does reduce opportunities.

Like you said, it's probably not what the majority of people are experiencing.

A union may protect your rights, but they do ask for some in return - often the ability to work at non-union jobs. The point is, you're still "signing away your rights". You're agreeing that you won't do certain things that are within your right to do, as a condition to employment.

Arbitration is ubiquitous because even at the cost of hundreds of dollars per hour arbitration is a lot cheaper and faster than going to court. And if people don't like the results of arbitration, there's still the option of claiming impartial arbitration and filing a lawsuit anyway. Companies that have arbitration agreements still get sued.

Response to techsupporter, HN isn't letting me make a new comment:

> This is not accurate. Almost every mandatory binding arbitration clause of substance includes wording that the arbitrator's decision is final and cannot be appealed.

There is nothing to stop you from appealing anyway. The fact that you're trying to seek an outcome different from the result of private arbitration does increase the chances that the courts will decide to reject your case. It onus on the plaintiff to prove that arbitration was not done correctly.

There are good observations to be made about the impartiality of arbiters - it's companies that are usually the ones paying for their services, and so it's not hard to image that this creates a conflict of interest. But a company that can force arbitration, and then use an arbiter that had agreed to dismiss all complaints is not correct - the kind of scenario you lay out is exactly the reason why you can sue even after agreeing to arbitration.
Not enough is said about people who saw it before it came. Relying on someone to do the right thing in the middle of chaos is unreliable. You really don't need to cherry pick to find examples on both sides.

Just tested this, I was able to create an account without a phone number. I think it doesn't require a phone number if Botguard is highly confident you aren't a bot. (it does recommend adding a phone number for 2FA though) Also, I created the account through ChromeOS settings, which perhaps is a signal that I'm not a bot?

My argument is wrong then-- this isn't shockingly bad anything, just a little quirkiness.
As a developer, I'm not happy about it either. I'm now expected to write code, as fast as possible, and then handle all the ops / sysadmin tasks too, which I don't enjoy and am not really equipped to handle.
Thank you for the movie and the book references. I'm always looking for things like that, to teach myself how to see and look beyond appearances.
It has to be said that most employers are corrupt in the US too, non-compete, arbitration, weird ways of paying salaries, generalized surveillance of employees, brutal layoffs, Gag orders in exchange for severance, etc.
Yes of course you're right about all that. My only point is, it's a fact that devops add templating tags to YAML files. This is not theoretical. The templating tags are likely not escaped properly, so, aside from the worst case scenario of script injection, the more innocent situation of causing parsing problems is possible and likely.

It's worth very seriously asking the question of WHY devops are doing this instead of just generating the yaml file with code, which from our perspective as developers would be easier and more sane, and allow us to use the full power of a programming language. I think it's a more important problem to solve than ergonomics of config for the original developers, because end of the day, who will need to interact with this configuration file more? Developers or the people responsible for deploying the application?
True. And they also close their online orders and physical store for Shabbat every weekend.

Having a 2nd hand experience with Hollywood Unions, there are so many outdated rules that make filming a nightmare. If you're producing a union film then you need to hire people for certain jobs and you're not allowed to do those jobs yourself even if it would make everything go smoother. If you don't abide by union rules then you're not eligible for certain awards or screenings.

I had another experience in college where the TA union put up barriers for undergraduate students who weren't TAs to apply for university teaching opportunities. Any discussions or office hours must be held in the presence of a TA and if your schedule didn't work out then tough luck.
It seems like an easy tweak to nullify this strategy is to invalidate automated arbitration claims.

Even without this tweak, if a company saw a huge increase in "cookie cutter" arbitration suits they could probably just not respond to these suits and hope that the majority of complainants aren't willing to go to court. A cookie cutter suit likely indicates a low-effort action, not likely to be followed up with a lawsuit. How many of the 6,000 DoorDash claims would have gone to court if DD just didn't respond? At $1,500 per claim even if dozens or a couple hundred went to court DoorDash may have still have saved money.
Last week experience. I tried gettin display port to hdmi for my docking station for work on Amazon. It was in Amazon basics category. Solid shopping experience, but it was not sent for 3 days so I cancelled. Annoying, but cancellation experience was great. I decided to do pick up from BestBuy. Great. Store near me has one in store. I purchase at 5PM. At 6PM ( when they close ), they send me an email saying they don't have it in store anymore. Great, but I can't cancel w/o creating account. Can't reach live person, because, ironically, Covid19. Screw it. I bought on CC. I can dispute it later. I go to Newegg. No issues. stuff gets here in 3 days.

Amazon isn't the only store and its convenience is waning during this outbreak. They are lucky they are doing so many things right compared to competition.

Personally, I am debating dropping Prime, which I had for one main reason:fast free shipping.
From what I can understand, this runs webassembly artifacts natively on a k8s cluster. So where you'd normally be running a docker container on the cluster, you'll instead run a webassembly binary or multiple copies of them.

I can't answer your question exactly, but I assume that it can run any compiled binary.

As a recent example in my state, a local establishment raised wages, raised prices, and strictly disallowed tips. I thought it was a great idea, but apparently sales fell and there were complaints from both wait staff and customers. They promptly switched back.

Honestly? The European one IMO because it actively prevents the exploitation of workers.
I suspect "per car produced" has a lot more to do with Toyota producing higher volume than Tesla. At least according to the stuff that's been popularized and written about, the Toyota Production System de-emphasizes automation. The rationale being that until you've refined the manufacturing process through experience, you don't know which steps to automate.

Think of it this way: if you rely upon robots too much, you're making a huge bet that you can design the manufacturing process from scratch and basically get it right the first time. If you get something wrong, it's going to be expensive to go back and improve it because you need to rework all of the automation. Conversely, if you design a less automated manufacturing process, more of the work is done by human beings, who are typically smarter and more adaptable than robots. That way, if you come up with process improvements later on, you can just teach it to the humans. Better yet, the humans themselves can think of their own process improvements.

At any rate, Toyota produces millions of cars in the United States on an annual basis; clearly the cost of American labor isn't a problem for them.
I need to start reading Discworld.
It will still be far less expensive for the filer per-complaint, than for the company total. I’m also not sure that you can prove an automated complaint is distinctly different than a manual one.
We do similar, also with "c" meaning "clarification needed", and it's higher priority than a hand or a question.

When there's a "c", then the speaker pauses ASAP to out what needs clarifying. These are important to ensure the context is correct and understood by participants.

For visual meetings, a person can indicated "clarification needed" by raising their hand while making a "c" shape.
I've always wondered why most people seem to draw flip-flops with the crossed wires and both gates pointing the same way, when I think this representation makes it far clearer:
