Actually, the earliest browsers pre-CSS weren't just viewers but had also editing with primitive styling, though it's difficult to imagine in today's CSS-heavy web. Personally, I think adding a complete new item-value syntax and value space on top of HTML/SGML (which already has attributes for exactly this purpose) was completely uncalled for, and to this date we're hearing about the structure/presentation dichotomy which just never made sense as a justification for adding additional syntax.
For sure. I’m just pushing back against the unsaid but extremely common belief that managers do these things for their own sake. I do them because they’re good for the team and good for the directs, albeit in different ways.

Says who? Are you really claiming knowledge of what the future portends?

If you are certain of the future-- you would make a bit bet. Have you bet money on it? I doubt it. If you truly thought this was the case, you'd have purchased some options ;)
When it comes to the system's core sandboxing mechanism, only one authority can sign the certificates and provision capabilities etc.

If multiple authorities can sign apps, it sort of defeats the point and makes the sandboxing less trustworthy.

Right now, I can either: Rest assured that an app is sandboxed (via the App Store or macOS Notarization) or choose to let it run anyway (on macOS.) A dev could notarize their game (or not) and distribute it through Steam or the App Store, or both.

If Steam and GoG etc. could sign apps, then you're back to having multiple authorities of varying trustworthiness.

Well, perhaps to avoid such attacks in future he could establish some sort of credentials in the area of interest.

How so? What is preventing the user from copying the URL and posting it on Facebook if they choose to?

The share buttons load trackers from the social network sites that follow your activity around said site. It is not there for the user's convenience at all.
That's certainly true. A better way to say that would be that "I can find work when I look for it, despite my age!"

Also, even my current employer has historically preferred young hires. But as they've grown as a company, and their clients' needs have expanded, they've found value in experienced developers as well.
Given that the article is also a parody of itself, I suspect the answer is yes.
However, he is a very good con artist. I could see him getting away with some more swindling at the courts, because really that's a game all about persuasion, not truth.
IF you want to use it for caching, THEN you would use it to cache stuff for your controller.

But, Redis is much more than caching. It supports all kinda of fun data-structures like sorted lists, timeouts, sets, pub-sub and more! You can almost think of it like memory that is held by another process. In that way, there are SO many uses cases.
Unfortunately, business failure is part of a laissez faire economic philosophy (i.e. let things take their own, natural course without interference). It's also part of life-- the cycle of creative destruction.

Some businesses will fail (for whatever reason). New ones will step in to fill the void-- perhaps very similar ones, or ones somewhat similar to those they replace.

I think of it as economic evolution.

The world outside of those businesses has evolved-- if those businesses and their management are not simultaneously evolving, then they risk being left behind.

I think the covid-19 situation has exposed weaknesses in the economy, which will be shored up-- but not without painful economic corrections.

"No one seems to care" Eh, the reality is that the owners, families, and adjacent/partner/affiliate companies may care.
Other people care-- about other things which are higher priorities from them (things which you may not be aware of).

Ultimately, those businesses may have failed in part because their owners/management didn't care enough to evolve their skills and offerings to what is in demand in the economy (outside of the impact from covid, of course).

To be honest, if you really want to understand economics, you might not be trained to the degree necessary-- i.e. diesel mechanic does not equal knowledgeable economist. So, you are allowed to have an opinion, but others like myself might remind you that it is not a qualified economic opinion, but rather the opinion of a mechanic.

For example-- Do you take investment or other economics advice from your local mechanic? Do you think others would? I certainly wouldn't. As such, if I were a mechanic, I would not have confidence in my assessments of economic situations-- instead I would read the thoughts of those who I am confident are knowledgeable on the topic.

Assertions are easy to make. Valid assertions depend on knowledge, experience, data, perspective, etc.
I think from the consortium's point of view it boils down to whether it makes sense to consider the link symbol separately from the text that makes up the link. They apparently decided it did not, but you could disagree. Of course, it does not really matter if you disagree, because they won't change their mind (unless you repropose it in a way that makes a different argument from the original proposal, which their rejection is basically saying could be considered).

It could equally be C++Builder. Back in those dates, the C++ compiler used a similar backend to Delphi - it was derived from Delphi's originally, since the two products interop and you can use both languages in one app. Today's C++Builder uses LLVM.
Absolutely wrong. Analysis done by informed laymen is essential in breaking intellectual logjams in established fields. These situations happen over and over again in history. It's increasingly looking like we have one of these logjams in public health right now.

Ideas need to be evaluated on their merits in all cases, especially in times of controversy.
Sounds odd for PayPal to do that (might be a US thing?). They're the one owing you money but you're the one who has to pay extra fee?

The purpose of delaying was to prevent fraud and this achieves nothing to prevent fraud, the vendor can just take the loan and run away. If PayPal is confident enough to give a loan, they're confident enough to release some of the funds, but they prefer to force a loan on the account holder and get extra fees?

I don't expect that going well in many jurisdictions. Consider the massive power imbalance and usually shorter legal timelines to close SME payments, that give more weight to the case.
It didn't, but we identified something that could be done without throwing away our vision. Basically Redis remains completely single threaded, but once is about to re-enter the event loop, when we have to write replies to all the clients, we use threads just for a moment in that code path, and return single threaded immediately after. It is not as performant as full threading, but we believe the right thing to do is sharding and share-nothing. Yet this 2x improvement for the single instance was almost for free so... btw it's disabled by default.
I think your argument is well-written (aside from s/effects/affects/ in effects an extremely limited..) but just not convincing.

I think this part goes way too far presuming intent, really hurts your case without a qualifier.

You have no idea what you're talking about (re: Meet & Duo). Duo is included in the standard Android distribution image and even included on Samsung phones. It's a broadly adopted "Facetime for Android" and works very, very well. It's not going anywhere. Meet is clearly a business-first product and a core part of the G Suite offering set. As another poster described, it goes beyond just desktop & mobile apps and contains a lot of the same kind of conference room features you'd get from a Polycom, Bluejeans, Vidyo, etc. It's also Google's internal videoconferencing standard for both rooms & end users. Your comparison with Zoom makes literally zero sense. For one thing, you can't purchase Meet by itself -- it's an entitlement within G Suite -- and if you look at the Meet announcement this week explaining availability for "all users", you should see it as a side-effect of the business product's maturity, not as a consumer-first offering.

The only remaining question marks are around what happens with classic Hangouts, and what additional features is Chat going to get that make it more consumer-oriented before it replaces Hangouts in Gmail.
Electricity usage is probably down everywhere, so there's not going to be anywhere on the grid to send it even if the interconnects are there.
This is really good advice. Outside of a few specific areas, most companies don't need someone who's "the best" at skill X. The need someone who's decent at skills X, Y, Z.
Indeed; however, if you have a lingering control file (because an old ssh process was killed, or there was a power failure and it was somehow not removed), it will either refuse to use it, or (occasionally, and I haven't been able to pinpoint when), would just wait there forever.

The use of symbols in text messages is one reason to include them in Unicode, but not the only one. Another is accessibility, particularly for blind people. The more commonly used symbols are in Unicode, the less we have to remind website authors to include alt text, or that the symbols in their custom icon font pose an accessibility problem. Also, co-opting an existing symbol, such as the degrees symbol (which I've observed some websites do for external links), is confusing when using a screen reader.
> And one in particular has become a part of my breakfast at this point.

Do you mind sharing which one it is?
That dismissal seems a bit lazy and flippant too. Plus attribution of motive. Like it or not, there is a grain of truth to the idea that techies (young and old) are particularly prone to this kind of thing. We're rather notorious for it. It's a natural and predictable consequence of having often been the smartest person in the room, able to leap ahead of others who have studied a subject (only slightly) longer. Equating income with intelligence doesn't help either. It takes a while to learn that "opine first, study later" doesn't work so well when dealing with fields equal or superior to our own in technical depth and rigor requiring years of effort to gain expertise, or that it's actively dangerous to indulge such impulses when the stakes are far higher than all but a handful of computer bugs.
But in that case, chances are they arrived at the article from a link posted on Facebook. So they wouldn't need to click the share button on the site if they wanted to share it.
Well, the use for a cache is caching expensive operations. Sorry if this is just stating the obvious, but I'm not sure how else to answer how it fits into traditional MVC operations. It could be a front-end HTTP cache (although you'd probably use a CDN for that instead). It could be caching something expensive to look up or calculate, for which it's fine to not have up-to-the-second-current value.

Many people at least in Rails also use Redis to hold a queue for background processing, where it ends up working well, although hypothetically many other things could too.

You can also use redis for all sorts of other stuff that isn't caching or a queue.
Yeah, it's a heuristic.

People who know what they're doing will over time become more confident.

People who don't know what they're doing will over time become more desperate as they run out of places to fail at.

You could do a lot of work to figure out the difference between someone who knows what they're doing and someone who doesn't. But it's a lot easier to just notice if they look confident or desperate.

Unfortunately, being confident is actually super easy if you're willing to practice it. Much easier than actually being good at anything.

Also unfortunately, being confident is really hard if you don't know how to practice it. And the skill is orthogonal to most other skills. So if you're good at something, it might actually be harder to control how confident you appear to others.

Ryan Kemper is attempting to construct a decision making framework. Right or wrong, I like that someones are trying.

It now occurs to me that the experts (epidemiologists?) have already done this, which would be a pretty good starting point. If so, why aren't we now debating their plans?

I want someone, anyone to state thresholds and benchmarks. Tell us the parameters and values. Then we can have a constructive debate.

Declining infection and death rate for X days.

Permissible level of activities to keep R < 1.

Supply chain activity levels to keep people fed, production of essential goods.

Given the complete lack of a plan at the federal level, we can forgive the Ryan Kempers of the world for trying to make some sense of this craziness.

Also, it just now occurs to me the newly formed regional compacts most certainly are doing the same. I'll look to see my jurisdiction is publishing.
> Look how interoperable email or phone networks are.

You are missing a major issue here: spam. E-mail and phone calls are riddled with spam precisely because these are at least somewhat open systems.

E-mail is unusable without running it through a ton of spam filters or (more commonly) letting someone else with a larger data set do that for you.

Phone calls are in some ways even worse. I no longer answer unidentified calls, period, and I keep my phone on vibrate at all times. Any important calls must be scheduled. I get 2-4 robocalls per day. I'm tempted to change my number but I've heard it doesn't matter.

Spam is a huge reason walled gardens win. Anything open gets abused to death.

Another example is closed OSes like iOS. Consumers love iOS because you almost never see malware. Open OSes easily acquire malware if the user is not tech-savvy (and even sometimes if they are), and finding software outside a walled garden is an exercise in picking your way through a minefield. Have you tried to search for a Windows app on the open web recently?
For me, doing 1-on-1s is like taking the pulse of the company.

Our main use case in $JOB for Redis is distributed locking. We usually do not need key-value storage and even if we do, we just go with DynamoDB instead.
Makes sense, thanks for clarifying!

Trump’s Disinfectant Talk Trips Up Sites’ Vows Against Misinformation
>For that we need to change the banking system which puts people in debt.

The banking system doesn't put people into debt by itself. People voluntarily take on debt for reasons such as to attain a college degree because they are told the long-term benefit is worth it.

So rather than go after the banking system, I think it would be more fruitful to go after the reasons people voluntarily take on debt. What are those, and how can we make them more affordable with something other than debt?
Not an expert on the VFDs itself, but we have a product that I've worked on with the 40x4. The display looks cool but nothing exotic (to me at least).

What's cool to me are the amber monochrome monitors, which we've used in the past. They are truly a sight to behold in person.
STREAMS, best pubsub solution imho. I used it as a backing store for an MQTT frontend once, and also for generally coordinating worker processes to handle background tasks.

I think its more of a SV thing than a U.S. thing. There are a ton of older coders in my industry and having experience, especially if you have domain knowledge in addition to technical skills, is huge. Most companies in my field would gleefully hire a 50 year old coder with domain knowledge over a coding rock star straight out of school who doesn't know the business.

Anecdotal, but the F500 company I'm at has already said they expect WFH to be a staple of company life moving forward, even after this is all over, mainly because it's been so successful. They did not expect productivity to stay as high as it has.

Certainly this will vary from company to company and who knows if it was just upper management blowing smoke in this case, but I do feel like the overall outcomes will be positive for those of us who want more flexible work arrangements.

So, all participants need to create Google accounts. How convenient for Google.

I don't necessarily want to ascribe maliciousness here—there are certainly user-centric reasons to set it up this way. But, isn't it interesting how many of the security measures implemented by tech companies also just happen to align with their business interests in other ways?
Agree with the premise of the article. That's why I'm excited about Handshake (https://handshake.org), it's an experimental new protocol that's trying to shift the root of trust of DNS from CAs to a distributed blockchain. Outside of creating a more secure root for TLS, it allows anyone to own their domain name and makes it very difficult to block access from end-users. It's still very much in the early days of adoption but nextdns.io already supports it which is promising.
I actually use it as primary database on some parts of the mmorpg I’m developing, Redis actually has ACID capabilities so it is actually very suitable to use as primary database in gaming platforms. That being said main game server requires Mongodb due to sheer size of the data.
