I mean expendable in the sense that as an employee you can just be thrown away if the market dips. Sure, you can maybe find more work, but you probably would have to uproot (not everyone lives in SV) and that's not easy with kids. My parents did that and it sucked; 8 different schools from elementary to high school.
Hardly. Scratch most topics past the surface level and if you're lucky the Web can find you the book you need. Usually though you'll need to find the best book the Web can find you, then use that book and/or correspondence with experts to find the ones you actually need.

The problem seems to be a mix of tons of stuff just not being on the Web yet, even decades in (some of it's in ebooks, though, yes, but a whole lot isn't) and Google having given up on "organizing the world's knowledge" or whatever their supposed mission was (now it's plainly "organize the world's advertising dollars into our bank account") so it may be there but good luck finding it.
CRTs used to emit X-rays, so they actually did shoot death rays.
> I hope to see a democratic China in my lifetime.

This seems unlikely, given how Xi is now in for the long haul, and the CCP has strong enough a hold on the country that relinquishing power in favor of a system of democratic elections seems unrealistic.

Not to mention that modern-day democracy favors the richest. Russia started having elections after the collapse of the USSR, yet those with capital and influence seem to come out on top.

Similarly with the US, where the larger election funds can afford to influence ('propagandize') the voters.

Perhaps democracy is a good idea, but one that doesn't scale well beyond the city-state.
I’ve been very satisfied with YNAB too. It’s easy enough that even my spouse uses it. I really like having a clear picture of the budget.
eBay must have some logic to determine who to scan. I can't get it to trigger on my windows desktop or mac.
This is a meaningless comparison.
It feels like a combination of a visceral nightmare and a panic attack, if you've had one of those.
I'm not saying it's not a parallel problem?
watching newsradio here, with rpcs3 classics on the second monitor
PCIe gen3 is nearly a GB/sec in each direction per lane (actual bandwidth obviously less). Which is nearly enough to get to line rate with 10Gbit ethernet, particularly if TSO is employed to remove the framing/etc overhead. Getting 750MB/sec out of a 10G interface because its constricted by PCIe is a lot better than getting 220MB/sec out of 2.5G. Consider the difference when running a VM image from a NAS.

Further, the point with the multimode 1/2.5/5/10 phy's is they do line quality detection and downgrade. So you plug in cat5, and it downgrades to 2.5 if the line quality is bad. Someone runs a 10 foot cat6A cable they are going to get the full speed. But in actuality, as I said on this board before, 10G requires cat6a for 200 meter runs. If your in a house, small office, etc where the runs are 5-10 meters or less cat5e works just fine. I've seen switch vendors mention that quality cat5e can be good up to 45M, which is farther than cat8 is specified for 40GbaseT.

It just looks like more product segmentation since the 10GbaseT spec has been around for about 15 years now.

edit: When it comes to UTP, the frequency response and cross talk specifications effectively end up being per foot. So the line attenuation and noise increases with cable length until it falls below the threshold required to reconstruct the signal at the far end given a standard compliant part. The length and cabling requirements also include the possibility of loss from additional wall jacks or patch panels. So many of the bulk cat 5e cable packs were sold for a long time as 350mhz (or similar) which in name is better than basic cat6 at 250mhz because its actually pretty hard to screw up the twist/etc requirements of the cable. The problems happen when it is poorly terminated. So the whole thing ends up being a bit of a crapshoot whether any given cable works to specification (most aren't) but because they are far below the maximum line lengths it never matters. Plus, in the decade(s) since the specs were initially created semiconductor advances have allowed advances in the receiver sensitivity and efficiency of the drive signal. Meaning if one went back at this point and tweaked the 1G spec its quite likely that the max transmission lengths could at least be doubled due to specifying it with cat5e and tighter margins.

This is also what allows 10GbaseT SFP's today, which weren't initially possible (that and mandating that they aren't compliant to the full 200M).
I'm totally ignorant on the details of this, but wouldn't someone who served in the US military for 20+ years have a great financial retirement and other benefits for life?
It's also questionable if we'd have made it to the moon had Kennedy not gotten shot. The "do it for the murdered President" motivation likely helped keep the schedule pushing forwards, at least to some extent.

It's really revealing that such amazing companies on paper...just don't make money at all and have to resort constantly to outside money to stay alive.
As true with code as with pulling triggers. Work for the Feds and pull 150k around DC and a security clearance. Some of the seniors at big contractors pull big $$$. Meanwhile, you can get a total comp of 400k or more working for a FAANGM out west while smoking weed everyday and banging foreigners.

My understanding is that the SOF and SEALs get paid well, even as enlisted folks (who get paid less than officers), but why settle for an adequate paycheck when you can have a kick-ass one? Doubly so, since the kinds of people who become Spec Ops are hyper-motivated and deliver results.

Back in the day, finding good documentation was a lot harder. Not having MDN is a bigger deal than Dreamweaver vs. Notepad++.
No doubt like canvas, font, audio, etc. fingerprinting, it will eventually be required to use Google apps like Maps and Messages for Web (to cite two recent discoveries).

"If you're not paying, you're the product" has its own form of economic inflation.
Unofficial APIs
> It has the possibly shittiest API ever designed.

Used libvirt for LXC, before "Docker" was the new kid on the block. Once we got it working it was great... but libvirt itself, ugh. There were some rubygems that abstracted some of the pain, that helped. Still the ugliness would poke through.
Yes, but is it responsible to pay for _all_ good journalism? You'd go bankrupt.
Hominids spent 7 million years evolving on that "dirt" they stared at.

If you think about it, it's a bit odd that there are so few mercenaries in this day and age. When you look back on history then from what I can tell, mercenaries were much more common.
Microsoft wants nothing more than a world full of .NET developers.
Have you ever looked into anything to outsource the tech support?
...Bad example. The point of TNG was to demonstrate how humans overcame conflict and are exploring space to find new species and help solving conflicts.
Libraries Do Not Need Permission to Lend Books: Fair Use, First Sale, Licensing
This is brought up every time Microsoft and Github are discussed, and it seems like a very shallow thing to fixate on. Is it impossible that a company, with a new CEO and leadership team, would discard a strategy from 25 years ago (more like 50 years ago by non-tech industry timescales)? Especially now that its market dominance is fundamentally different and reduced (likely permanently) compared to the 90s? What evidence is there that Nadella is a Manchurian candidate for Ballmer forces?

Note that my issue with EXX being brought up is that it is superficial, to the point of being deceptive to the kind of threats Microsoft+Github are most likely to pose if Nadella et al do have their own malicious plans. But I think Microsoft's support for a healthy OSS ecosystem, via Github and things like VS Code, is genuine. Not necessarily out of altruism, but because it's one of the few ways they can have an edge into the future and not fall into stagnation like IBM.
More actually. Many levels of blocking exist but not all actively used. Different websites are blocked using different methods at different levels.
That sounds like the developer's problem, not the browser's problem.

I mean, I could half-ass my work a lot more often if they'd get rid of these burdensome restrictions on cross-origin requests. But they ain't going to.
I've been waiting for the integration of active directory and linkedIn. It seems only a slight stretch to think of using corporate data and social data for cross-validation of true Identity.
Part of how myopia works: When your peripheral vision is in focus too much, because something is close to your face like a screen, your eye (which grows on its own, without brain involvement), is told to grow longer to to help reduce the over sharpening of the world it thinks it has.

This happens in developing humans, at some point in adulthood it's suspected this stops (although some people see worsening myopia past the typical age range where it stops).
> A lot of the justification for human space exploration seems to be circular and rest entirely on the quasi-religious belief that sending people into space is inherently good.

It's just a short summary of the reasoning.

Here - https://launiusr.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/why-explore-space-... - some arguments for space exploration in general.

Human exploration in particular becomes more clear when one realizes that modern robotics can't fit a lot of exploration requirements as well as humans can.

Aside from commercial goals - like resources, tourism, support of space equipment - we have natural, if strategic, curiosity of environment around us. We're just at the point when that "around" starts getting bigger than the planet.
DoH is essentially the IETF's version of DNSCurve. DNSCurve (and then DNSCrypt) were at base the idea that we should secure DNS bottom-up, starting from the resolvers, rather than what the IETF had been doing, which was the top-down start-at-the-roots concept of DNSSEC. Neither DNSCurve nor DNSCrypt had any real push in the IETF that I can find; Dempsky wrote an I-D for DNSCurve back in 2010 that has like 2 mailing list posts about it, and I can't find anything for DNSCrypt despite it actually having users.

Meanwhile, the idea that we can't do anything but tunnel DNS through HTTPS because of inertia or politics is obviously false, because there are competing proposals, one of them with serious IETF energy, that don't do that. They're just not popular among users.
C# has had a similar mindset but different approach; Classes are not 'final'(in C#, 'sealed') by default, nor are methods, BUT they are not considered virtual by default.

This still makes inheritance more 'opt-in' than 'opt-out', but still facilitates the use of 'container' classes. It's still open for expansion but you can't -really- change the implementation.
If by "limit the number of pushState calls to one", you mean once per "click" event and by click event, you mean user interaction, then yes.
Why wouldn't you have your brightness at 100% if it was sunny? You need the backlight to be bright to avoid it being washed out by sunlight. It would be weird if you said you used 100% brightness in the dark, but that's perfectly reasonable when it's sunny.
They are backlit though, that's a big difference. Not sure if any issues would be caused by this.
I’m guessing this is posted BECAUSE of that article.
>A white reflective surface (whiteboard) in direct sunlight is 1.6cd/cm^2. Consumer monitors are ~300cd/cm^2

Why does it hurt my eyes to look outside after a while looking at a screen in a well lit room? (the sun is not directly visible, just buildings, trees and sky)
Embrace (the UI)

Seems similar enough to me. Just thinking of UI as a feature.
And interestingly enough, the 10600k has a 20% higher base clock than the 4670k (4.1GHz vs 3.4GHz), and a 26% higher boost clock (4.8GHz vs 3.8GHz). That alone probably accounts for the majority of the difference. It's a shame that Intel has barely been able to increase IPC at all in the past decade or so.
Depends on the form factor. On desktop yes AMD might be better for your money but as an owner of Ryzen 3500u laptop I'd recommend Intel to anyone. For some reason Chrome is more janky than my old i5 4300u and it lags when playing 1080p x265 files in every player I've tried.
That's literally the opposite of the concern with permission prompts: all the evidence from years of SSL/TLS certificate errors is that users will blindly grant permission.
Looks great! I’ve checked it out before. The primary limitation for me vs YNAB is iphone support.

I’m currently a YNAB user and I love it. There are a lot of YNAB users. They already understand the value of this type of tool. If you want to try and convert YNAB users you might want to consider a way for YNAB users to migrate to your tool.
Each time I see these kinds of reviews, I take comfort in knowing my eight year old i7 3770k is still chugging along at 4.7ghz OC. Its matched with 16gb ram and a 980 TI, and it handles most modern games at 60fps just fine albeit on lower settings. I also sometimes boot into Ubuntu to write some code while my girlfriend wants to use the macbook, and I just mostly use VSC and write Node or Go apps.

Maybe in the future I'll just get a newer GPU, but for my needs of primarily gaming and coding I don't yet see a reason to upgrade the CPU and motherboard.
Recall that the first world is the United States and its allies, the second world is the USSR and its allies, and the third world is just all the rest. Then maybe look for better words to precisely convey your sentiments, instead of propping up your talk with old clichés ;)

The US justice system gets a lot of deserved flak for its failure to live up to its ideals, but it's a hell of a lot better than the police-accuse-you-confess-or-else standard pervasive in Japan. Some light reading on the topic:

"It is impossible to know the true figure, but when 99.8% of prosecutions end in a guilty verdict, it is clear that the scales of justice are out of balance."

"Past inmates describe draconian rules. Eye contact with prison wardens is often forbidden or, when allowed, has to be accompanied by a smiling demeanour. Some compulsory prison work can be mind-numbing—folding pieces of paper into eight and unfolding them, for instance. Talk is banned for much of the day. Reading is only sometimes allowed.

Toshio Oriyama is a former restaurant owner who spent 22 years behind bars for a murder he insists he did not commit. “You weren’t free to do anything except breathe the air,” he says; even to stand up required a guard’s permission. Mr Oriyama had to sit cross-legged much of the time, in some pain; and “when we took a bath, the bums of all my inmates were dark like bedsores” from sitting in the same position all the time."
I've got the same understanding - I asked my ophthalmologist about it as well because my vision is already quite bad and I'm a computer engineer.

For breaks, she recommended the "20/20/20 rule" - focus your eyes on something at least 20 feet away, for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes of screen usage.
What happens when Typescript gets extended and able to compile down to C#? Then it just makes sense to use a .NET stack.

Javascript ecosystem extinguished. Everybody will forget how to write on the open web platform.
Also a happy Ryobi user. Even more so after I stumbled on [1] from Slickdeals; they rotate through a ton of Ryobi stock (factory blemished and refurbished) and I haven't ran into any duds yet. Between that site and frequent Home Depot specials, I've been able to build out a solid kit for far less than I expected.

I'm sure other brands funnel factory rejects and refurbs somewhere, as well. But I'm not sure where that is.

well, limiting it to just click events won't work if you navigate using the keyboard, or voice commands.
Looking at the reviews of the Noctua air cooler, it does better than those giant water coolers.
With meaningful competition, the game is elevated for everyone. Those competing must win on merit, and those watching and consuming get the best output.

When Microsoft was the dominant software Goliath, they were winning in business and personal computing. The internet was new and they wanted to win that - not necessarily by being the best, but by using their leverage.

In the current environment, Microsoft is still winning in a lot of areas of business - competitive if not dominant. They have meaningful positions (but also competitors) in cloud hosting, operating systems and productivity software.

In my opinion, we're in a good place for a lot of these vectors. Cloud has Azure, AWS and GCP (though I don't know how well GCP is competing.) Operating systems have the classic gorilla in Windows, the polished closed system macOS and the persistent open source varieties of Linux. They are all meaningfully competitive.

Mobile is probably the weakest area, in my opinion. I wish Microsoft was still competing with Windows Phone here, because I don't love my Android and iOS options. They are good and they do what I need. I'm not confident I could switch between them easily (the way I am mostly confident I can switch between Windows, macOS and Linux).

(Online advertising is clearly the realm of Facebook and Google.)

I'm not sure how to summarize, but I don't think Microsoft is the same 800-pound gorilla that stuck us with Internet Explorer 6 for way too long. They'll (as long as they can) always be ambitiously seeking dominance in profitable software-related markets. They'll never be 100% charitable or philanthropic. And neither will their competitors. Is there a useful rubric or framework to think about all this?

What are personal decisions you can make that aren't too painful, but matter on the grand scale of these massive companies?
If you want to put a couple bucks on this, I'd be happy to put my money where my mouth is. :)
>Just a few decades ago the militarization of space was universally acknowledged as inappropriate and this was codified in international law.

If you don't know that there is no such provision in "international law" (the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 only forbids nuclear weapons in space), and that for 60 years the military and intelligence services have been by far the largest user of space and space launches, please don't say anything that further demonstrates your ignorance.
Isn't that mostly copyright infringement? From what I understand, it does automated copying of articles and images from other blogs?
I had a couple of plug in leaf blowers that were handy, but have nowhere close to the power of my secondhand gas blower that I bought later. If I had it to do over, I’d have skipped the electric blowers entirely.

The surprising win for plug-in electric is a small, cheap single-stage snow blower. For snows in the 1-4” range at under 25°F, it’s hard to beat the speed and convenience. I bought it just as a cleanup tool behind my “real” snowblower (a 2-stage can’t clear down to clean pavement), but I find I’ll often use it as the only blower I use for a light, fluffy snow.
Hm, to be honest I find reading a book is direct sunlight quite more challenging than staring at a screen, because the reflected light is quite unbearable.
How do you recreate the key on a broken phone?

Also, the dialog showing the code doesn't allow copying or provide any easy way of saving it somewhere. Which makes is very unlikely that many users will successfuly store it.

Also the backup itself has no support of syncing anywhere. Your phone fell out of your pocket? Well, say goodbye of all the pictures of your nephew.

Pretty much every layer of this process is very user-hostile and provides practically no help for the user to have effective and secure backups.

I'd focus more on providing enough value to justify a SF like salary.
Just trying to find a company that will throw money at you while you sit in a LOC area will be tough. Companies are not stupid, and you are competing with the whole world. There will always be someone who can do the job for a cheaper price.
So figure out what value you provide, that justifies inflated rates.
Another approach is not to be an employee, but a business. But that's not as comfortable.
Also: during the 90's, Wired published a fiber map, and at that time, there were seven different fiber networks in place within a quarter mile from my house. For over a decade ISDN has been a little over a thousand feet away, but the provider won't connect without charging several thousands of dollars to run line and install a repeater, despite the tens of millions of dollars the state and feds have given them to roll out rural broadband.
The Cybertruck is expected to have outlets. Increasingly relevant with electric lawn equipment, etc.

Your units are wrong. Monitor brightness is measured in square meters not square centimeters. A square centimeter is 10,000 times smaller than a square meter.
Not to mention, that I also use keyboard shortcuts to navigate back, to avoid having to move my hand to the mouse.

> Conversely, if a subclass adds observable flexibility -- such as the ability to stretch along a single axis -- it also fails the LSP.

That's not a given. If the new capability is only in new methods of the subclass, then the program expecting the parent class will never be impacted by it.

To be fair, I suppose you agree:

> such that influencing one of these properties doesn't perturb properties observable from the super-interface.
That doesn't work forever. Name an honourable war conducted by the US military since 1946.
Hypothetically, if they're able to provide a seamless developer ecosystem -- and a corresponding target platform for those developers to deploy to -- then they can guide the direction of the next wave of applications, and they may be able to incentivize and pick winners within it.

My fear is that we're in for a tedious decade where we see unironically-announced re-implementations of every existing iOS, Android, and Linux desktop application against this upcoming target platform, with corresponding re-occurrences of previously-seen bugs and security vulnerabilities to match.

I'd prefer to learn that we're going to standardize on open web technologies for delivery of software, and that for each case there'll be at least a few mature open source applications or libraries that fit the bill -- and that all that amazing developer capability and productivity is directed towards maintaining and enhancing those, instead of re-inventing them.

We'll see.
