Why did zoom go with Oracle? Maybe they just wanted more security nightmares and zerodays.

What worked for me:

- Use the .tgz option, not .zip

- I had to manually create several large albums by year, and then created a takeout archive with just that album. Then created another archive with the next album, ... You may not need to do this, try the whole enchilada first. My wife's photo takeout didn't require this, for example.

- I had to pick smaller archive sizes. 8gb worked for me. Yes, it was a lot of chunks.

- I had to switch to Chrome (not Firefox, which is my daily driver) before the download would complete successfully.

- Downloading to my NAS directly made it fail. Had to use local disk.

- wired, not wifi

Even with all these in place, my ISP sometimes didn't allow downloads to finish successfully. I had to run them early in the morning over several days.

I had to go through and redo several chunks that corrupted themselves somehow. Verify the chunks with `gunzip -t`

Also: now that you've got your photos and videos back, you might be interested in PhotoStructure! Details are in my profile. I'm providing free access to the beta in exchange for feedback.
Does this apply to energy though, which is the main cause of climate change? Economical growth seems quite correlated to energy consumption, and I have yet to see serious articles showing how energy consumption can be decoupled from economical growth. And of course by that I mean world-wide. Developped countries delocalizing production (thus energy consumption) to China should be taken in account.
If you're looking for offsite backup (which seems to be the main use case of your use of Google Photos and now iCloud) then Backblaze if you're on Mac or Windows, or Backblaze B2 if you're on Linux is very affordable.

Awesome, I welcome any tools that simplify the GUI deployment process.

I've built quite a collection of scripts that clean and process my company's domain-specific data. I once needed to share that with a data-scientist/computer-Luddite (sadly too common) who wasn't comfortable running CLI scripts. The solution I came up with used Platypus[0] to generate a lovely app wrapper where files could be dragged in.

> The majority of my mortgage payment goes towards ownership of a product - my house

For many (most?) people that's not true. Even ignoring that mortgage payments often include property taxes and/or private mortgage insurance, you can expect to pay more interest than principal for the first fifteen years or more of a thirty-year mortgage.
My experience backs this up as well. Schools don’t have the budget to do it right or to care, so they make do.
No. To defeat this, you politely refuse to provide your current salary.

> Animation in React Native is much more of a hassle than UIKit or even CSS. (About the same as native Android, though, where it's also pretty tedious.)

My experience was that RN was way more helpful on Android than on iOS, in general. But that has more to do with Android than RN, which achieves its utility on that platform by papering over a pile of bad decisions, inexplicable awkwardness, and half-finished-apparently-by-the-Summer-interns APIs, none of which should be problems in the first place. I'd seriously consider using it for just for Android even if I wrote a separate, native iOS version of the same app.
Fun fact: The IRS Economic Impact Payment (EIP) site for non-filers is run by Intuit. [0]

You gotta love those who lobby against simplifying tax processes and harvest data on behalf of the IRS. And, I'm absolutely convinced Intuit will treat that sensitive data with the utmost respect and would never, ever resell a list of people who haven't filed taxes in a couple of years in order to discriminate against them in loan applications, leases, and purchases.

I thought we were already in recession, ever since the lockdown.
Maybe in a few decades. The imminent arrival of autonomous vehicles has been BS from the beginning. Our machine learning capabilities aren't anywhere close to making the idea viable.
It is a bet on the continued support of the market by the Fed.

If you're interested in preserving purchasing power 15 years from now, would you rather hold dollars or things today?

As a value investor, all of my theses were blown out of the water by the unprecedented Fed intervention. It is an environment in which the fundamentals are uncertain. I'm standing pat and waiting for things to make sense before moving again.

The trailing (!) S&P P/E is greater than 20 right now. The Fed is supporting prices above their historical mean/median of 15. It makes zero sense, from a financial standpoint, unless the market is pricing in substantial inflation.
We did not. Amounts are insignificant for each individual supplier and negotiating, keeping track of, and be leveraged (delayed payment is just that - a bridge loan offered by a supplier) seems like a burden for now. Despite higher risk tolerance being encouraged by the economy today, we are quite cautious about using any kind of leverage. We do have lines of credits, revolving accounts, etc for tough times, but prefer to avoid using significant leverage unless we absolutely have to.
Not when you factor in that shutdowns didn't really start until the very end of the quarter. According to Wikipedia[1], earliest state stay-at-home order was March 19 in California and 19 states either waited until April or never issued a stay-at-home order.

Why is the stock market going up despite horrible economic news? [video]
Seen this question a lot on here lately, this is by far the best most concise explanation I've come across. Enjoy!
You've never encountered any animosity from this?
Our political system is full of perverse incentives that leads to a false sense of democracy. The electoral college and first past the post voting leads to a constant two party system, where people in most states don’t get a real vote since their state is safe for one party and winner takes all.

Neither party has any incentive to address it tho, since it benefits them both both equally. They hate each other and are as separate politically as they can be (often times taking a position just to spite the other party). But with only two parties with any real chance of winning, they’re chances are better and arguments easier to make than when facing a half dozen parties spanning the whole political spectrum.

So we go from more extreme liberal to more extreme conservatism leader, like America as a whole is manic depressive. We’re more polarized as a nation than we’ve ever been before, including the lead up to the civil war.

But now politician is a career, not a duty. And people make decisions that protect their careers. So in the current world we’ll never see an alternative vote introduced giving moderate candidates a shot. We’ll never see a change to the electoral college to make it so that votes against a “safe state”’s party matters at all.

I’m not calling for unrest. Lord no, that’s against the law. All I’m saying is that there is a real risk of it happening due to the current climate, but maybe that’s not entirely a bad thing.
Modern cars take less metal and gasoline to run, for example, both of which are environmentally harmful to produce.

Default UNIX semantics: you don't actually know this has happened to a file you're using on most filesystems, so you can continue writing to it and it will vanish on close.

Many programs do the "write to temp file and rename on top of old file" trick, which is almost-atomic, and you can have multiple programs doing that to the same file at the same time without noticing.

(If you're on NFS writing to a deleted inode may do something different and probably broken)
Probably to drive sign-ups on their platform by job seekers. It's a metric that they can show to investors that their business is providing a valuable service.

The market is a Keynesian contest. Prices are not based on some imaginary formula of GDP or profits. It’s based on sentiment, and thinking what other ppl feel about the market.

The problem is conflating societal development with economic growth. Do the rhetorical people in the GP comment living in subsistence farming need money, or just food? We grow more food than we need, and if we as a species chose to allocate those resources as they were needed, we could feed everyone. Instead, consumers which are unprofitable to provide food to are left to fend for themselves. Crops regularly go to waste due to lack of demand from customers who can pay.
Only once or twice. Other people's feelings are for them to own, doesn't bother me. The power asymmetry doesn't change between employer and employees if you don't make efforts to do so. That's more important to me than if you like me as a person, or want to have lunch with me.

Nice one. Similarly, I removed my sites from the Google search index by blocking their crawlers. Someone wants to find my content, they better use a different search engine. Anything but Google will do. Their favoring AMP results and forcing websites (the ones that rely on people coming from search for income) to implement that crap ticked me off just a little too much.
This is how Go does slices, though they are 3 fields:

type slice struct {
zerothElement *type
len int
cap int
}

Though I suspect under the hood the len and cap are ordered first.

If it's good enough for C greybeard Ken Thompson and unix hacker Rob Pike, its good enough for me.

In fact I've looked for a port of go-style slices to C and haven't found one. Maybe people think sds is good enough?

The Future of Work and Travel Programs Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
That appears to have calmed down significantly in the past few years, with React in particular showing a level of stability and staying power in this space that I thought was impossible.
First, there are more OSes out there besides Windows and UNIX.

Examples of insane behavior of UNIX's lack of locking:

- A process can get its file corrupted because flock() is cooperative, so there isn't any enforcement that even if file locking is used, it actually works. Hence the dance with temporary lockfiles as workaround.

- A process can happily store important information into a file just to have it deleted under its feet after the usage count of the inode goes to zero, and good luck bringing the data back to life without forensics tools.

Quite sane indeed.
One year ago, if you had asked me what would happen if we printed $4T+ (that's 20% of GDP for perspective) out of thin air and injected it into the economy, I would've told you massive hyperinflation and immediate collapse of the dollar.

Instead, we see the US Dollar Index strengthening over the last 6 months [1]. The dominance of the United States as a global hegemonic superpower truly cannot be overstated; I'm in awe. We can literally print trillions of dollars worth of fiat and people around the world will give us real assets for it. Not only that, they will give us real assets at better rates than before we ramped up the printing presses. Makes me feel pretty good about the future, to be completely honest.

Simple: Because they want to get the cost as low as possible. Most employers know exactly what they are willing to pay, but speculate on the developer naming a lower number.
There are few exceptions, like Berlin-based think-cell, who openly name their salary offer on their website. I think they can do that because they search for very few, very high-skilled developers - contrary to many larger companies who have less strict hiring policies.
I just reinstalled my machine from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04. I'm using i3wm for a few years, and things never worked out of the box. The sound applet, VPN, and other small things that quickly add up.

I'm now using Regolith [1] and loving it. It offers a clean and neat i3wm installation, but still uses Ubuntu's system admin tools. It was really simple to install: just install Ubuntu, add its PPA and run apt-get.

I highly recommend it for anyone that likes i3wm but doesn't want to be fiddling with configuration files to connect to a new WiFI or pair bluetooth headphones.

For the developers in the comments, having a better vocabulary is like having a better standard library. If you have to describe the details of a basic data structure every time you bring it up, you will lose the audience. The psychological concept of chunking plays an important role here. By encapsulating a complicated concept into a single package you increase comprehension and the ability to reason.

There is the same thing in mathematics where coming up with definitions (standard library functions) are crucial. One of the biggest developments in calculus was a rigorous definition of continuity. The definition itself is complicated. However, once you encapsulate the entire concept into the single word "continuity," you can start exploring and proving many more theorems.
I try to simply don't buy things. Eg I want a new laptop for some time, but none seem like a good fit. The whole USB3 ecosystem is crazy, there are bad, ugly, expensive or all of the above ones only.
Nah, it signals exactly nothing.

With Coronavirus it is just as likely that the economy is going to rebound once the worst of the virus passes. People stopped buying stuff but rest assured, they will make up for it when they finally can.

Why bother applying for jobs that don't list salary? The whole notion that it's a bargaining tool bothers me to no end. I'm not going to bother applying for a job that doesn't list their salary upfront.

Telegram changed in the last couple of years. You can choose between secret chats (e2e encrypted) and normal which are just user-server storage-user encrypted. End-to-end voice calls is also a feature.
If you ask me between the Google / Facebook messaging apps (Whatsapp, Messenger, etc) and Telegram, today I'd say Telegram has an advantage because it has a good UI, works across devices and the desktop client works like a charm. For someone that wants to ditch the Google / Facebook environment and be sure their grandmother can use it, I don't see much better options.

It's not as faulty as it used to be, but I see the old times made a reputation for it.

I totally agree with you.

I think this article is more evidence against the credibility of multi-repo than against "microservices".

Anecdotally, my current place of work has grown to about 200 engineers, maintains a monorepo, and hundreds of deployed cron jobs, ad-hoc jobs, and "microservices". We have none of the problems discussed here. We invest maybe 20 eng weeks a year in monorepo-specific tooling, and perhaps another 30 eng weeks per year in "microservices"-tooling.

Wow this is a topic where I’ve been want to ask a lot of questions before. Not surprised that many people are thinking of the same thing. Are there any other resources about these I can read of?
Microservice is not an organizational problem. Microservices is a design problem. If you implement DDD (Domain Driven Design) first to your application and then start to design the application around your DDD concept, then, it might work.

But, it's extremely hard even to do that. Microservices simply complicates things if any of your domains need to share code with each other. Many DDD paradigms exist to address this, but none are practical. For example, authentication related code. IF one domain sets a cookie and the other one has to rely on that to keep the user (a shared model between the two domains) authenticated, then this means, you need to duplicate code bases across two domains or in the very least put them into some sort of shared helper/library, which DDD is kind of against.

That's why it totally makes sense to go Monolith first and really identify the parts of your application that are slowing you down either development wise, testing wise or performance wise and put them into separate contexts.

Phoenix actually does Microservices right. From all the way to scaffold generation to instructing best practices on keeping your domains properly separated. But even then, I've burnt my finger many a times trying to write simple CMS solutions into mutliple microservices then going back to monoliths again.
