I understand you're probably not in a position to say anything about it, but I'd love to see the "little delay" when reconstructing a file qualified somewhat. Are we talking < 5s or < 10s? What do the percentiles for restore latency look like? How does file size play into it? This, for me, is one of the biggest unknowns right now since it's not easy to create a test benchmark for this case (i.e. upload a bunch of stuff and let it sit idle for at least 24 hours, hoping it will be expired from the caching layer).

Those acquisition that are in terms of actual silicon production are at least still running, because that is part of Intel's expertise. Those that has absolutely nothing to do with Silicon production are all being run to the ground.

They should have diversify into either into more silicon products or Custom Fabs, instead their Custom Foundry was a complete mess. What Intel dont realise was their competitor isn't actually AMD or Nvidia, but TSMC and Samsung. The market has no problem paying premium for leading edge node, leading edge processor design and software support. The problem is Intel lost on the first two and lost the third with respect to CUDA.

At least the new CEO seems to understand the problem better.
I don't think employment insurance concerns him. He has earned way too much money for that to be a problem.
My home phone is VOIP [I'm one of those early-adopter Ooma people]. I accept that when power goes out my phone dies with it just as I accept the warrant issue. Perhaps this is an unintended "transparency issue" so I won't be fooled thinking that my phone conversations are legally sacred, but at origin it was simply a "I'm not paying for that" deal.

Side Note: Yes I am just old enough to want, and actively go out to have, a home phone albeit with current technology. I'll take retro-futurism when I can get it.

My point is that it's irresponsible to reduce these companies to their ads and data practices, because they also tend to be great places to work and tend to offer a positive culture and benefits. You should consider everything before deciding to work there.
>> saying colleges are unfairly withholding refunds even while they rest on endowments that often surpass $1 billion.

Not really applicable. Endowment funds ussually have guidelines attached. They are not for general use and are certainly not used for paying refunds. Much of the point of an endownment fund, as opposed to just handing over cash, is that the fund is protected from lawsuits by students demanding their money back, or anyone else making claims against the university. Endowed money is not the university's property.
Well, getting an expert to help isn't much different than looking up the answer. My particular struggle isn't about not knowing where to find the answer, it's about when to give up trying to figure it out on my own.

To the OP:
Your write-up (nicely done) is particularly interesting to me in that I'm using this unplanned furlough to work on diving back into Clojure and coincidentally was wanting to set up some static personal sites.
Thanks for sharing the write-up and sentiments.

May I ask:
- Do you use this approach more generally in your work? At first glance, it feels heavyweight for something like a blog (e.g. the intention site), but after perusal I appreciated the clarity of the Clojure code. Just curious if you've been doing this a lot and whether you find it efficient in the longer-term.
- Do you have any opinions regarding the more "framework like" static generation tools for Clojure (misaki, etc)?
This is a great question. I spent the last ~10 years hopping around jobs, working at both FAANG and small startups, but I never stayed anywhere more than 1-2 years. I also moved around a lot. My biggest mistake was focusing too much on salary, job title, technologies and self-development, and not enough on forming deep relationships with others. That was true even in college where I got good grades, but I rarely went to lectures, study groups or parties.

Now I'm here with a relatively broad network but few deep connections. I don't have anyone I can ask for career advice, have beers with, chat with about work, or discuss for new opportunities. Looking at my resume you'd think I'm "successful" - but it's the opposite. It feels kind of lonely and at times I'm sad.

No matter what you do in life, in the end it's all about people. Don't waste your opportunities to get to know your fellow coworkers/classmates/bosses. Make some friends.

Also, don't burn your bridges. There were times in my career when I sacrificed relationships so that I could move on. For example, leaving a co-founder behind when I no longer believed in the company. Looking back, I was kind of an asshole and too immature to realize it. I wasn't capable to fully empathize with the people around me. I truly regret that now.
By that logic, wouldn't Vice President Tim Bray then be positioned to know more of that hypothetically hidden story?
I'm having a different (but likely related) problem, which is that my SMTP stopped working today.

I have a legacy Google Apps account on a custom domain, and have had two-factor auth configured for years. Today my SMTP credentials stopped working, so I went in and made a new app-specific password, and that is also not working as my SMTP password. I also can't enable the "less secure apps" option because 2fa is enabled. I don't see any path to fix this.
Fun idea :)
> it's interesting how much faster the RAM on the Air is

Isn't that just the difference between DDR4 and DDR3?

Edit: Yes, I just confirmed that the last generation of MacBook Pros used DDR3 memory, whereas these new ones will use DDR4, so that's why there is such a big difference in speed. The new ones run at 3733MHz.

Matt: So this is back in 2008 I saw an interview you had done it was posted on slashdot’s, I came across it. It was in a different language. You said something about free software and first I will run this by you and see if it is accurate or not. So they quoted you as saying free software should never have existed. I am wondering is that accurate that translation?

Alexey: Yes, I am not sure I don’t remember me saying it back in 2008, but I could sign this work now.

Matt: What do you not like about it?

Alexey: Basically, if it is just a very small piece of software which young guy need to show off came up and tried to please his friends, that is fine. It might be free, but generally the good games as the result of very hard work of several people, I just don’t understand why those people should work for free. It never happens in this world you know? So it is very honest and normal work, which doesn’t make anyone immediately millionaire or anything like that. it is a hard job, which needs to be compensated and the price of, and smile small price of the game should make it. I feel it is absolutely normal and proper way to develop this stuff. So people don’t, somehow people are rigid to pay kind of 4 dollars for small couple or few and then do it for 10 minutes, but they have trouble to pay kind of half of this price and get 3 or 4 hours of really good time with the game. That is ridiculous.

Yeah, I've moved with my family twice now, each about five years apart. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's worthwhile when you have a compelling reason _why_ you're moving. I think in each case so far we've known that our stay would be 4-7 years or so, and thus in each case it's been kind of "bittersweet" but not too hard when the time finally came. It is definitely harder now as my kids are school-aged, though.

> tariffs would have to be so high that sum

I disagree. Almost anything made overseas can be made in the US, it's vast place. If you raise tariffs, that's going to hurt the largest international corporations and stimulate the local small to medium sized companies. Prices for goods would go up, but so would the demand for labor. Also, goods would be of higher quality and there would be less disposable consumer-culture, a win for everyone.

> Did you ever look at which jobs have the most demand for immigrant

Yes, I have. These 'back-breaking' labor jobs are also the most underpaid.

> it's underpayment that kills the jobs

I don't see how you can fail to realize the two are intimately related.

They accept the job because they need it to survive, but that does not mean they are happy with what they're paid, see all the crushed unionization attempts. Nor does it mean that the company cannot afford to pay them more and still make a nice profit, just because they'd also work for less.

Yes, workers should be able to influence the future of a company they invest their lives in, the same way citizens can influence the future of their countries. The incentives of workers and shareholders can be aligned, when greed is kept in check.

Employees are subject to intense competition for employment, while big companies face much less competition [1]. This means that, all other things being equal, big companies are less unaccountable than their employees. While this dynamic certainly doesn't guarantee abuses of power on behalf of big companies I think it makes sense to be inherently suspicious of their actions.

I hope you can recognize the conflict of interest here. You appear to work at Apple, and that might just make you less likely to acknowledge the overwhelming number of unethical practices Apple partakes in.

EDIT: Sorry, you can ignore ^this^ paragraph - just saw your edit. My apologies for making accusations.

I find it especially interesting you attack Amazon over their disastrous warehouse workplace policies (you are 100% right to do so), and conveniently ignore the even worse manufacturing plant conditions that overseas Apple employees/contractors have to endure.

I should also add, Microsoft and Apple are the two cash-richest companies on the planet. They can afford to drop all DoD contracts indefinitely. They won't, and bad things will continue to happen to PoC outside of the US because of it. I hope, at the very least, you can acknowledge this.
That requires the video to be encoded in a way where you can just start reading the stream from any random byte offset, and everything will still work. Video files are not usually encoded this way (any more.) Resume an MP4 or MKV video half-way through, without reading the TOC-ish stuff from the first chunk, and you'll get garbage that maybe resyncs after 20 seconds.

It's totally possible to "encode for streaming", but it usually results in both an increase in overhead [more keyframes] and a decrease in quality [inability to use predictive interpolation, instead relying only on forward-interpolation.]

Mind you, this streaming-enabled encoding is how things were done on the web, before the advent of MPEG-DASH/HLS; and it's still how e.g. the MP2 encoding of digital cable/satellite video works. But we don't really want to go back to those days. They kind of sucked.

Jumping to random byte offsets in a video also tends to screw with any embedded data streams like subtitles or thumbnails, which tend to just be stored in most media container formats as a single chunk at the beginning/end of the file, rather than being spread or copied across the stream. Again, the kind of captioning done back in the MP2 days is immune to this, but it kind of sucked as well (e.g. it wouldn't trigger if you happened to skip to the millisecond after the instruction for it appeared in the stream, often leaving you with ~30 seconds of untranslated audio.)
So we should expect schools to teach our schools that the earth is flat, and the earth is round, and hope the kids pick the right option? Or where exactly do you draw the line in "we shouldn't suppress speech, just because it's provably false?"
One solution that I have thought of is to have a mining difficulty by country and another one by passport.
If the passports of a certain country mine a lot of blocks the difficulty for this country would increase. In this scenario it would take 51% of the countries to go rogue in order to perform a 51% attack.

Another thing to implement as well is to increase the difficulty for a passport to find a new block once it has already found a block. This way even if someone extracts the private key of a passport he will only be able to take a very limited advantage out of it because the difficulty for him would skyrocket, as a consequence the reward of doing this should be lower than the costs of doing the hardware hacking.
During my time working in the [US] DoD industry, I recall exactly one "training" video informing us that multifunction printers have a storage capacity. Think "You scan something, you save something" type of awareness theatre.

It doesn't surprise me that a "modern day fax machine" [why am I even viably capable of saying such a phrase] would have a similar capability.
A default position against Amazon ignores some important considerations, in my opinion:

1. News outlets have a huge incentive to report on anti-Amazon facts, but little to no incentive to report on pro-Amazon facts. "Megacorp is imperfect, but mostly okay" is not a headline that generates clicks.

2. Amazon has a huge incentive to ensure that they comply with the law. Every labor lawyer in the country wants to take them to court and extract a settlement. And there are plenty of politicians that would love to make their career by bringing Amazon to heel.
I am surprised to don't see so much difference between the 13" and 16" prices. Other than that, good movement from Apple, listening to what the people wanted.

A good example is voting, because there is a lot of science behind it now. If you look at different voting systems and the amount of "Bayesian Regret" in each system, it's clear that Score Voting is the best system.

Yes, that helps, but I still have to take a beat and look down, as opposed to muscle-memory and not even thinking about it.

I've looked at B2 from time to time, but doing database blob storage over S3 or to disk and backing up database and files over rsync made us stick to our existing technology (eg Transip cloud storage which also charged 10 EUR/month per 2TB). One thing we didn't look forward to was having to reimplement cataloging and garbage collection for all of disk, S3 and B2, so we just stuck to a rsync hardlinking solution (which makes incremental backups painless)

having access to primary storage and cheap backup storage using the same S3 API will make us reconsider that and will probably make it worth the effort to dump our rsync-based solution for B2.
Interesting idea. It's clear what the product does. What's the use case for it?
