Came here for this thread. The whole incident rests on top of a chain of policy consequences which shouldn't exist, for either Constitutional or moral reasons. The way to fix this insanity, and alleviate a LOT of the issues which are currently being debated, is to somehow elect a group of representatives that don't START with the assumption that the "War on Drugs" is necessary in the first place.
Due to the god awful state of Microsoft Teams conferencing, we recently started trying Chime at my new job. There are still some hiccups, but I can vouch that the quality of both audio and video is very good on Chime.

We have also used GoToMeeting with a good amount of success. Anything but Teams, haha.

This is a bad move for MS. It's user hostile enough to have telemetry and ads in the OS in the first place. If they fight against people's efforts to make it usable again, they lose market share, developers/power users lose interest in the platform, less software gets bought from and made for their store, and so on. I think what they really need is a pro version of Windows that attracts pro users by removing the bullshit to start with. That shouldn't be exclusive to Enterprise.
If you’re not a woodworker, try it. I watched a bunch of YouTube and spent my December leave building my daughter a kitchen step. Such a nice experience to work with something physical. Creative and exacting. Start with a plank and an idea, end with a much-loved piece of furniture.

Graphviz got me a company paid trip to Orlando back in 2003. I built a Perl script that parsed a firewall configuration file to produce a visualisation of the policy and relationships between the various entities like network addresses, protocols and so on. My abstract I wrote on it was good enough to be selected to attend our company technical conference, but fortunately not so good that I would have to write a full paper add present ;-)
What I found fascinating in this story is that NYT claims with a straight face that the respective piece is dangerous specifically to their employees of color. I can see how one can hyperventilate 'military in the streets' to 'military shooting live ammunition indiscriminately into masses of peaceful protestors', and I can see how they'd imagine their brave reporters being in the front lines to keep us informed, but I just can't imagine the thought process behind 'and the bullets avoid white / asian NYT reporters and crew members and specifically target the ones with melanin above a certain level'.

Of course it's using cdn/Cloudflare. I live in the Caribbean. Good thing it was! A topic such as Home Lab will see traffic from all over globally. No cdn would be terrible idea.

Not sure of you are located but Pingdom test for 404 does not match your claim: https://tools.pingdom.com/#5ca8d73c1e400000

And of course 404 pages will be slower. Because Cloudflare still has to receive the request first, then check origin server roundtrip before responding.

ADDED: And I hate to break it to you but companies do this all the time with or without LinkedIn. On numerous occasions, I've been asked if I know do-and-so because we worked in the same space. Sometimes I don't know them. Sometimes I give an enthusiastic recommendation. And sometimes I tell them to run away fast.
That's unusual for modern machines. It was de rigeur from the first portables up to about 2005, as I recall.

I was rudely surprised by my first Core 2-era machine that wouldn't boot without a battery installed, because prior to that, from Pentium-based Toughbooks back to the 486-based Noteflex back to various 8088 and even pre-x86 machines (PC8201A, club100 represent!), they were all absolutely fine running from the power inlet alone with no battery.

The Zenith MiniSport was the sole exception because the power jack was actually physically on the battery, but you could still gut an old dead battery and make a dummy, and it would run from the brick just fine. (This is documented in the very first issue of Brian Mork's excellent Minisport Laptop Hacker zine, available wherever fine textfiles are sold.)
Well, the big difference between GrubHub/Just Eat and Deliveroo/Uber is that the former were actually profitable software businesses, while the latter are VC funded blitzscaling nonsense.

But now the profitable companies are forced to run unprofitable delivery networks because of the VC funded (well public market funded for Uber now) hype-train of on-demand.

Yes, I did mention that in my own comment. I can only imagine Amazon are desperate to re-enter... I mean they seem set-up for this to happen eg infrastructure. Hence, why they are investing in Deliveroo, who are also setup pretty well. In fact I reckon the investment in Deliveroo and potential acquisition of Grubhub by Uber is what shook Takeaway.com (Just Eat) into this panic buy haha

GraphQL as a query language is simply better than REST in most cases imo. REST has too much client side state, which not only has the potential to make things harder for clients to consume, but also has all the inconsistent states to handle where your consumer gets part way through a multiple-REST method workflow, and then bails. REST also absolutely sucks for mutating arrays.

Really I just look at GraphQL as a nice RPC framework. The graph theory operations like field level resolvers are mostly useless. But if you treat each relationship as a node rather than each field, you can get it to work very nicely with a normalized data set. I haven’t found it hard to preserve join efficiency in the backend either, and it so far hasn’t forced me into redundant query operations.

Just as long as you don’t use appsync. Really, don’t even bother.

700 years is rather a long time - but in some places like here in Britain there was a lot going on in those times: the arrival of the Saxons and then the Scots and the subsequent wars then the arrival of the Vikings which arguably led to the formation of the two main kingdoms on the island (not to mention battles between them such as Brunanburh) then the successful invasion of England by the Normans.

We know a lot happened in those times but very little detail - e.g. the location of Brunanburh

After twenty years on Debian I just bought a Windows laptop on the strength of WSL2 and Docker for Windows. Being able to play SimCity has been a bonus, and I feel like I have the best of both worlds thanks to recent Windows additions. It isn't perfect but the Linux Desktop experience isn't either. Nor is OSX, in my experience.

My point being: I've been a very stubborn desktop Linux user for a long time and have migrated to Windows. The traffic, I suspect, is going the opposite way to what you seem to expect, at least for now.

Fast REST APIs with PHP
If you are round tripping because of data, you’re having to traverse the network to the origin and likely composing your queries with dependent data, so http2 is little benefit. For example, if you are loading a book detail page, and want to also show the author name, but you need to retrieve the detail record to get the author ID first so you can call the author detail endpoint. Graphql solves for this by being able to fetch the book detail and the joined author name with one round trip.
Not really. It was tried and it turns out that the best strategy for the human is to just do what the computer suggests.
CVE-2020-13702: catastrophic breach of user privacy in Apple/Google Corona API [pdf]

Publishers should not both get copyright AND the ability to DRM the books while removing all the other properties of that physicality.

Books should be in a digital format that has at least all of the the properties of a physical good. I agree that if one has a physical (or digital copy) of a work, that there is no-issue renting or temporarily transferring it for as many ownership tokens as you possess.

If the publishers want copy right protection from the government, they must use open formats, unencrypted, non-executable, bits I can copy/sell/rent/etc. If they want to use DRM, they get no copy right protection.
> do they run unit tests on those

My initial glib answer is “no, the engineers are stuck to deal with the bad design afterwards” :)

My less glib answer would be that most disciplines of engineering do do modelling and “virtual testing”. I’ve been working on largish drones for about 18 months. Electronics get specced out, circuits get drawn and simulated, currents are estimated and components are specced based on those estimates, etc. On the mechanical side, parts are drawn in CAD, analyzed for proper fit and assemble-ability, FEA is used to determine whether a part is likely to be strong enough for the static and dynamic loads that will be placed on the aircraft, etc. All of this happens, generally, before circuit boards or modules get ordered or before the first chunk of aluminum goes into the CNC.

As far as building software goes, I’ve recently had to start digging into DO-178C, and I’m pretty impressed so far. Despite having been through engineering school (EE), I haven’t ever really had to put this level of rigour into practice for software before.

It feels slow and somewhat time consuming, but I’m feeling more and more confident that the module I’m working on is going to be pretty damned robust. It’s not a “certification required” unit, but it would be a huge pain in the ass if it failed and couldn’t recover without human intervention; as a result I’m doing more of a “DO-178C lite” with detailed low-level requirements stated explicitly, system architecture drawn out first, sequence diagrams for the complicated event-driven parts, state charts for the different parallel systems, etc.

I've been on LinkedIn for a while, and I don't mind it for what it is. I have not taken a job that started with LinkedIn, but it has given me leads, multiple interviews, and an offer at one of the big tech companies. On most of my job applications I've attached my LinkedIn, but I doubt it does anything as all that info is on my resume.

Secondly I appreciate seeing my childhood, college, and ex-coworker friends' careers progress. I like knowing where they're at and what they're working on, and a LI update from someone I know has sparked lots of conversations.

As far as content, we all know it's worse than any other platform. I roll my eyes at over half of the things on my feed. But sometimes I find good article shares that aren't just marketing, and occasionally there's an actually interesting post. However I think they do a good job of showing you your connections' updates from a few weeks ago even, which is great for not following your feed constantly like Twitter.

I agree it is not at all necessary for finding a job, and I don't use it as a normal social media where I expect interesting content. So I definitely understand anyone who decides not to use it. But I've found value in it myself, and I certainly don't think it's doing me harm. The author never explains what the "harm" is.

I think this sentence in the article sums it up:

"It doesn't really matter, but that's not a world I want to participate in."

OP wrote an article about deleting an app that no one thinks is essential.
They are often named in lawsuits. The cushy $100k/yr can easily be eaten up by legal fees.
For that to be true then I assume you supported them before this recent decision?
Another rule/heuristic that seems to work well, along with Rule 4 from the article, is having a limited number of golden tickets per team. A golden ticket gets used up when you use a "new shiny thing" or "cool but not widepsread" thing.

For us, the risky choice in our stack [1] was Haskell. It's been amazing and has paid off immensely, but the challenges are very real. Over time we've wanted to go whole in on things like ReasonML too, but we haven't pulled the trigger or made safer choices, because that one golden ticket has been used up.

(I can't take credit for coming up with this, but I don't know who did! I'm sure it's already better articulated somewhere.)

I may be alone, but I think those two things are very different classes of feature, and am very relaxed about the former as an opt out.
Same here.

5-6 years ago, I started a website/service (also closed, now) at the intersection of LinkedIn and GitHub. Then Microsoft bought the former. A few years passed, and they also bought the latter. It kind of justified my idea (not that those two services are being merged), but nonetheless I had to close my little initiative.
These are well-reasoned defaults. I think the same can be said of architectures, not just technologies. I.e., when you're starting out, a monolith is likely a solid approach: it's easier to reason able, easier to deploy and debug, etc. But as you scale, you need to rethink your approach.
Outside of the US, most people's experience with black people is with first-generation African migrants, or their second generation children. There are exceptions of course, but it largely holds true.

The US, however, has had a large black population for many generations now. Over time, many have mixed with other races in the US (as with every race there really) and consequentially you may have people that are 1/4 black genetically but who hold strongly to their identity as a black person. Often this has stemmed from racism i.e. if someone's child is a quarter black, they're seen/treated as black by other races and therefore it's the identity they form for themselves.

Shaun King, a prominent black activist, is an example of someone who on sight many outside the US (and many inside the US, from what I've seen), would absolutely not consider a black man, but genetically he apparently is and it's central to his identity.

My problem with Facebook is they actively try to make your feed controversial. You can unfriend 95% of the haters and some how that remaining 5% will fill up 50% of your feed, and it's not because they are posting more frequently.

My worry with GraphQL is that the server component is essentially a black box (as I don't have time to audit/review it) complex enough that there's more chance an edge case in a GraphQL query will end up exposing something you don't want.

A REST endpoint on the other hand is fairly simple and understood; there's (mostly) a static set SQL queries behind it and as long as those are not returning any unwanted data you are pretty much guaranteed to not expose something you didn't want to.

Why are others saying it wasn't cracked and didn't disable activation? Cracked implies copy protection or licensing measures were circumvented.
Or the fact that they were serving a no-knock warrant. The only reason for a no-knock warrant is to prevent destruction of evidence, which means, practically, flushing drugs down the toilet. Well, if this kind of situation is the result of no-knock raids in society, I'm fine with missing some convictions because drugs got flushed. No-knock raids shouldn't exist. Neither should the "war on drugs."

In this case, they were supposedly looking for a person. They would have surrounded the place. It's not like he could have vanished into thin air between the time they knocked and then had to force their way in. No-knock raids should never be used for arrest warrants anyway! It's insane to think that supposedly responsible, intelligent representatives in our government have led us to the legal situation under which this occurred in the first place.
In my country, probably the most well-known IT-related jobs website (www.apinfo.com) is something around 20 years old and uses basically the same technologies and concepts that were mainstream at the time. Coldfusion, plain HTML, ad spaces sold directly to advertisers.

No social networking. No fancy stuff (they don't even use icons, it's plain text everywhere). Just a simple, straightforward website.

It's not perfect though. Doesn't perform that well and the searching capabilities are poor even after some improvements they've attempted. But during my whole career (17 years) I've gotten 100% of my jobs there, despite having tried some other websites.

I wish that UX folks payed more attention to cases like that.
I’m noticing a lot of pretentious at best, contrived at worst, mythology posts on LinkedIn. Everyone’s career is being transformed through the narrative machine, and it appears a lot of people suddenly persevered ‘against all odds’.

Replicating the experiment would normally mean running the same code for the same length of time, which is what the article measures. If you're using different approaches like KataGo, it's not a replication any more.
