I don't honestly know how much I can disclose (FTR, I was not the one doing that job - I was working as a postdoc there at the time), but I'll try to summarize it briefly:

- PI got a couple of EU funded grants

- PI wanted to build a program / programs out of some ideas he had before moving to the institution he was currently employed at

- PI hired a software developer (actually a software engineer) to do this job

- Statistician drafted algorithms, developer created the software

- I used the software for my Ph.D. thesis, got hired at the lab of the PI as a postdoc, new requirements arose due to the way I used it

- Developer made a preliminary version of a new version of the software following discussions with me

- University made it very hard to keep developer on the team, due to bureaucracy and kind of hostility towards this kind of employment

- At some point (I can't recall the details exactly, but it was something that spanned almost one year), the form of keeping the developer on board was no longer possible

- PI offers an alternative contract, but it is financially wasteful to the developer (not the fault of the PI, but the way certain things work in my country)

- Developer leaves the project

Also the university, to my knowledge, complained that the developer cost a lot (IIRC, the project was paid at market rate, so in line with other, non academic software projects).

I can't comment on the quality of the software we used (sadly it was never open sourced) as it was in Java and I only have a passing understanding of the language, but the approach of having a dedicated developer IMO worked (and also net quite a number of publications over that period).
Joe Rogan is surprisingly greedy. The man has been rich for decades, doesn't need money at all, and yet he's been selling crappy snakeoil products for years, and now he's selling out wholesale. He's taking a boatload of money to kill his show. Maybe he's just tired and this seems like a smart way to end it...

Sadly he just doesn't seem to be up to the challenge of seizing his role in history anyway. He could be someone that bridges the left/right political divide. He's the closest we have right now, but just not up to it.

There is a deep desire in the US for someone almost like Joe Rogan. Just like there is a deep desire for someone almost like Bernie Sanders. Or even someone almost like Donald Trump.

I consider these people the first wave of Great Internet Personalities. And just like the first pancake, they're not quite right.

We're living in a Bizzaro World for now. I'm eagerly looking forward to the second wave of Great Internet Personalities.
Serioulsy I mean Jordan was winning scoring titles for years before he won a ring and when he took a year off to play baseball the Bulls were within an inch of the Finals and possibly winning it without him. Meanwhile Lebron has led teams to the finals and the year after he leaves they are basically lottery teams. He is far more crucial to his teams than Jordan was.
I'm not upset, I'm just absolutely baffled that there's such disagreement with the idea that you can be one of the best in the world at something without doing it all over the world.
Have you? Can you get to the point?
I've been using YNAB for about 6 months now. I was not living paycheck to paycheck when I started - but I have made significant improvements to my financial well being since I started using it.

Previously I had been using Mint to keep track of my spending, but I never felt in control, it was only useful as a reporting tool of what had already happened.

YNAB is all about giving every dollar a job and setting priorities for your life. It's the envelope system in digital form if you are familiar with that. With Mint and similar systems, I'd just be looking at my pile of cash in my account and thinking "yeah I can easily afford a new gaming PC!".

But I wouldn't be taking into account my 6 month auto insurance bill coming up in 2 months that would require a bunch of cash. YNAB let's me see that easily - it was painful in the beginning as I was "catching up" in all these categories, but now I feel so much more comfortable with my money and how it can be put to good use.
Why would you classify Google and Facebook in the same category as T-Mobile?
Isn't this the case because the Spotify podcast player... is a podcast player? It reads RSS feed like any other player, so it has "all" podcasts in a non-exclusive manner. This is exactly what people are lamenting in this thread
This is sad because it is a harbinger of a future in which podcasting is like most other modern media. It is currently almost completely open. This openness flows in all directions. Anyone can start a podcast. Anyone can listen to a podcast. People can use any device or any piece of software to listen. Everything is up the the individuals involved and most of it is completely free. This is the future that people dreamed of for TV in the early days of cord cutting, but we are now in the era in which there are over a dozen legitimate TV streaming services and everyone seems to subscribe to multiple different ones. I don't want to have 8 separate podcast apps to listen to my favorite shows.

And for the record, this has nothing to do with compensation for content creators. I want everyone to get paid. I personally am probably in the top 0.1% of podcast consumers and spend roughly $50 per month directly supporting podcasts. There are numerous other revenue models for successful podcasts. Joe Rogan wasn't exactly poor before this exclusivity deal.
Oh snap, that's right! I could use L7 networking to do automated CI using HashiCorp's stuff even though I know Ansible better. Thanks for the hint.
I prefer a unix approach where each tool does a single thing.

The runtime does runtime things and someone can build a package manager to do package manager things.

The benefit of having runtime + package management bundled into one is you have an opinionated and standard way of doing things - the downside is if the package manager stinks then the whole ecosystem stinks.
Does homefort sync over the lan or it requires a 3rd party/ proxy broker? It says "The mobile app connects to your home computer" which concerns me a bit as it sounds like a VNC headline.
I've noticed that two-finger scrolling, which should be one of the easiest things to get right, is wrong on basically anything that's not MacOS. Windows and Linux arbitrarily insist on 3-line scrolling in a lot of apps. Even when pixel scrolling is technically available, it works poorly. It appears small movements are ignored, and then once you've hit some sort of distance threshold the scroll "jumps" to register the whole movement. There's weird delays where you need to "un-touch" the pad before you can transition from moving the cursor to scrolling. The scroll gets "dropped" after a while even though I still have two fingers on the pad.

I've seen all this across many laptops running Linux and Windows, including Macs, which leads me to believe that that the issue software.
Statement from the Lancet in Response to President Donald Trump
No business cares about trying to reach people who don't have money to spend on their products. It's kind of common sense that FB isn't trying to reach 5 years old. Also, it's kind of common sense that Facebook doesn't have many people in China where it's banned. Out of the FAANGM's, the only one that competes with Facebook is Google and they aren't in China either.

But to be even more blunt. FB no more cares about people spending 35 cents online than Apple cares about people who only want to/can buy a phone that cost $100.

This looks like a product push to make the most out of WAH during COVID-19 crisis. On similar note, I must say that Zoom ate Skype's lunch within weeks and MS marketing team has royally screwed that one up.
Isn't the point of something like this PIN that the only thing stored on the cloud is an encrypted blob that they don't have the keys to? That way it doesn't matter if SGX or similar breaks or not, since the encryption is only happening on your devices. The PIN is the key.
A slightly different case, as the Linux kernel uses a nonstandard (-fwrapv) C where overflow is defined to wrap rather than be undefined.
This looks fantastic and exactly what I am looking for, thank you!
You hopefully do realize that obviously in case of wrongful termination the state has incentive to cover it up. And... She's the only person fighting on her side and no lawyer has incentive to take a potentially losing battle against order of magnitude bigger opponent.
I will get downvoted for saying this. Spotify was the one who conspired with Facebook, Apple and Google to ban Alex Jones and others. So if Joe is moving off of YouTube because he doesn't like the censorship, he's not getting anything better with Spotify.

This is absolutely false. Lots of people outgrow Python and use another language.

New is pretty relative, but yeah they've definitely been around for a while. I'd say the array languages (APL/J/K) can be used in far more areas than most people think, but I understand your point and am on the fence myself.

What is wrong with 8th's license? It is basically a Forth, so extremely interactive...mostly just messing with a stack...not sure about metaprogramming. I think a production license costs you $200 as a one time fee and you have to pay no royalties or anything for apps (better than many tools out there). Upgrading to a later version comes at a discount too. Most of the runtime is proprietary/closed-source if that is what you were saying (def understandable if you had a problem with that). Also, being a 1-developer project, progress is rapid, but I'd be worried about what happens if the maintainer wins the lottery.
No one is going to hire a whistleblower, no matter how sympathetic. Why would they take the risk?
It’s much more primitive. No silence skipping, no voice boost, and most importantly, show notes are hidden and don’t really support HTML.

Spotify is hurting podcasting and a lot of what is good about the open ecosystem with diverse clients.
I don't see any mentions of it, so I'm assuming Google isn't using a canary domain to see if they should enable DoH or not. Can anyone else confirm?
I also think it can work well.

TimescaleDB is a good example - everything is open, but most is open source. The only parts that you need a commercial license for are "obviously" enterprise/scale features.

I use TimescaleDB in my ISV, and think it's a fantastic tool. Should I ever need the enterprise features, I would gladly pay for them and fund maintenance and growth of a tool I love.
And they do spend that money, much more than a million I'm sure.
wait they have MS teams which has way more users
SGX has simply just been shown to be incompatible with secure software and is impossible to justify. Signal can happily operate without the need for this sort of thing to begin with, but they keep insisting on weak solutions for no reason.
This would center a fixed sized element in absolute position to page, this was never an issue. Problems start when you do not know size of your element and its parent. Flex finally fixes[1] this issue but it was not fully supported until recently[2].

Fascinating. I believe there was a similar demonetization when the IRA stole a large fraction of banknotes issued by Northern Bank in 2005: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Bank_robbery

The UK is quite unusual in retaining private note issue for banks in the different union nations.

What do you do to write software accordingly? Make it detect when it's running on a dud? Have it run as best as it can anyways?

> This is pretty strange coming from a dude who talks about how corporatism and monopolies is bad for us regular humans in every other episode. Either he's planning something or he just sold out. Either way, podcasting will stay as long we keep it alive. Rogan wants to move to a closed ecosystem, fine, that's one less podcast for me to subscribe to!

My guess is he's looking at his stand-up revenue approaching zero so needs to find something to replace it.

I've wondered what performance professionals are going to do.
The post I linked talks about Dropbox moving to other languages. I didn't mean to imply that I knew Instagram was also moving away from it, sorry, I see how I misworded that.
My understanding is quite different... north africa flourished for hundreds of years after the Arab conquest, particularly during the time of Andalusia which lasted almost 700 years. Even after, North Africa held quite some power from its pirating entities. It was very much a hub, controlling important sea routes. It wasn't until European colonialism that it really turned into a backwater and lost all prominence. At least that's my understanding from my historic readings.
You can use a long alphanumeric string as your 'PIN', and on iOS at least, you can insert that PIN via a password manager.

he brings on pretty much anyone and listens to them spew whatever they want to say without any real pushback. he should stay out of politics. he's not a bright guy.
DNA crapware filtering was the most effective way of not having ads in every possible place on the web and also stop mass surveillance conducted by facebook and google. Now they want to know every last bit of information about you, the domains you interact with. Private mode wont work anymore.

It also assumes the world is limited to what can and cannot work in the US. In some parts of the world micro payments are the majority of payments.

At my previous employer, a large network services provider, everyone got the same depth of support, even people that were on the free tier! Granted, the people paying us $ENTERPRISE usually got responses in minutes, whereas free users might be waiting around for a week on more difficult cases, but it was the same set of engineers working on each.

Free customers did report bugs, and we would replicate, triage, and fix them as usual. These tended to be more obscure bugs (more severe ones would usually surface in the paid queues first), but we didn't discard them immediately.

Whether we effectively ignored bugs depended more on the ability of the customer to provide an actionable report. Some users provide exactly what we need up front, but there is a lot of "it doesn't work!" white noise from users that aren't able to or aren't willing to put in the work to accurately describe their issue and/or action feedback from us. There's usually not a whole lot support can do in that scenario if we don't see any obvious issues, but we'd go a bit further to placate paying customers--I fondly remember joining a call between some very technically inept user and their ISP who was adamant that either we or the ISP were at fault, after we guided their network team through taking local packet captures showing unanswered SYNs past their network border.
The PIN is a very short key, so the only real protection is that Intel SGX (which notably gets broken every year, and so this doesn't actually work) is preventing people from getting access to the encrypted data to brute force the key; the enclave then enforces some limit on the number of attempts (and maybe some rate limit on the speed of attempts).
author here. I sell onions on the internet. does that qualify? Check out my homepage for other developed domain projects.
I agree, too. I've seen several podcasts move to exclusive apps and I've not followed any of them there.

With such a low entry barrier, there's so much content available that exclusive deals don't seem to have much influence, no podcast is "must have". Not available? I'll just play the next one on the list. Many will remain open and free. Fortunately, podcasts can financially sustain themselves under these conditions, it wasn't a forced move.
Really encouraging to see an OS option.
AFAIK the encryption is done on the servers, not offline, so you can't just brute-force it: https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/
Half of the friezes had been destroyed or severely damaged by the time Elgin went there. Some of the remaining pieces have been damaged since he went. The building originally had four walls and a roof.
I went with Makita without a whole lot of research, but I like that have a wide line of tools. I recently bought their weed wacker, and I'm thinking I'll eventually replace my plug-in lawn mower with their battery powered one.
Yeah - I had a similar experience. A lot of people suggest Mint is a similar thing to YNAB, but except for being money related it really isn't.

I used it first too and I think it may actually be worse than nothing.

It's both infested with a ton of ads and makes you think you understand where your money is going without really understanding it.

> The scientist who created Florida's COVID-19 data portal wasn't just removed from her position on May 5, she was fired on Monday by the Department of Health, she said, for refusing to manipulate data.

That's not the way I read it.
I've been a longtime GnuCash user, and really it's as simple as you want it to be. You can, for example simulate the Spreadsheet approach with 3 accounts: Checking, and two hidden accounts: Income and Expenses. Make Checking the default tab, hide a few columns you're basically done. And if you decide you need a more complicated model, all those extra features are there and available on your schedule.

Probably the biggest hurdle IMO is the single user nature. Even the SQL backend requires a global lock.
That is because op didn't run it in Emacs. Guile-emacs uses the same Emacs c functions that Emacs elisp does, and running the Emacs tests against guiles elisp-without Emacs is like taking away a huge part of the standard functionality and expecting things to run.

The points it makes about speed are not wrong, but that the author fails to understand even the most basic relations between Guile-emacs and guile-elisp makes it hard for me to take it seriously.

Support should be judged on how they perform under load, and how they perform consistently, not how they perform on random events.

We don't really have any way to know from your story whether Scaleway's support was under normal or extra load and delivered an excellent experience, or whether they had a bunch of bored support reps just waiting for something to work on because it was abnormally slow. The latter is nice, at the moment it happens, but doesn't really help you if 2 days later for a different issue you're left in a lurch for days on end because they're busy. The former would be good for maybe indicating that.

That's the whole point of service level guarantees. They provide a lower bound on the support you'll receive, which is often much more important and useful to track.
Just asking for some (not totally out of context) quotes would mean you are just as worse as him obviously.
In reality his "attacked transgender people" probably only refers to his opposition to trans-women competing as women in MMA, which is a perfectly valid opinion to have and is certainly not "attacking transgender people", thats idiotic.

Its even worse than the problem of Google just shutting down your account since most of these victims weren't paying for anything.
