Turning aside concerns about current and future provider interoperability (which is also a common reason for concern when using huawei hardware for core network purposes and would get worse as you expect them to integrate with several different vendors)...

Wouldn't traffic run through many parts of the network exposing data to even more providers? Wouldn't you be subject to any portion of the chain breaking, or being turned off?
Which isn't equivalent to dual-pane, especially considering macOS doesn't even support proper window snapping out of the box.
I have a book through Apress as well. Among other things, their contract was pretty generous about my repurposing small chunks of book material for other purposes--which I've taken full advantage of. They also offered some sort of discount so that an organization could have me do a book signing though I don't know the financial details. (And said organization might have done this if it weren't through a known publisher.)

On the other hand, the price is set quite a bit higher than I would have set it personally for maximum exposure. And I don't have the right to broadly distribute free electronic copies to just anyone I want.
"You can't discuss this topic because of a flame war" is ceding territory to the assholes. I'm willing to accept that when it comes to talking about political topics here, because this isn't a political forum, but I refuse to accept that we can't talk about technical topics here because some people refuse to keep a civil tongue.
So you take your definitions from movies now?
Data brokers aren't interested in a couple of records here or there of x-rays from Imgur.

They want millions of records with some kind of identifier, and some kind of predictive value. Eg. The number of ice creams I buy might be a good predictor of if I'll be buying diabetes treatment next year.

Without all 3, your data won't be used.
I have. Lots of them, all over the world. On every ship I've worked on the track pilot is used for hands off operation. Hell, some guys would do paperwork or work on stowage plans during their watch.
Hey - I'm the author (I self-posted this, I hope that isn't against the posting etiquette here).

I wrote this post after a bit of a failed startup I tried making at the start of lockdown. It was called Ottr and it essentially aped YikYak exactly. I made a react web app, an API with web sockets (it had real time posting and comments) and even an iOS app.

I burnt out on it and gave up because it seems so hard to get that initial traction.

I've been trying to get the project posted publicly on GitHub for a while now but I wrote maybe 10k+ lines with literally zero tests because I was just trying to get it to market. The code isn't bad but i'd feel bad posting it without tests so that's what i'm working through now.
> I don't like having to fix bugs.

???

I rather enjoy fixing bugs, particularly really hard ones. They can be fun logic puzzles that take some sleuthing to figure out and offer multiple pay outs... First time reproducing it. Figuring out the problem. Figuring out the best fix. Test case fail -> test case pass.
But getting him in front of Congress didn't nothing at all. Also then world is bigger than the US and PRC.
I had to debug a nasty x87-related issue with a piece of scientific computing software. The output of each version of the software was deterministic, but different versions usually (not always) gave very, very slightly different output, even if the numerical code was unchanged. This bothered the original author, but he was a hardware engineer, and his attitude towards it was basically "software sucks, you can only depend on computers if you lay out the circuits yourself." So the mystery remained until I was brought on and was able to figure out that the default settings of gcc at the time did not use any of the SSE2 instructions supported on the workstations we were targeting, instead using x87 floating point instructions. The state of the x87 stack was affected by code interleaved with the numerical code (there was a bit more going on than just number-crunching) causing the 80-bit representations to be copied to and from 64-bit registers (and hence rounded) at slightly different points in the computation. This resulted in tiny changes in the output. I added a flag to enable SSE2 instructions, and thereafter the output only changed when the numerical code was changed.
> Now I can just grab a generated client in a language of my choice.

No, you can just grab a generated client in a language of your choice if that language happens to be supported by protobuf.

This is a massive regression from the openness of HTTP REST APIs.
Why not have the option of both? It seems to be fairly normal on Linux.
> People usually refer to the bombing of Cambodia as if it had been unprovoked, secretive U.S. action. The fact is that we were bombing North Vietnamese troops that had invaded Cambodia, that were killing many Americans from these sanctuaries, and we were doing it with the acquiescence of the Cambodian government, which never once protested against it, and which, indeed, encouraged us to do it… Why is it moral for the North Vietnamese to have 50,000 to 100,000 troops in Cambodia, why should we let them kill Americans from that territory… and why in all these conditions is there a moral issue?

Created an account just to comment on this.

I design, implement and support contact centers for a living (think Avaya, Cisco, etc..). For the past five years, we've been preparing ourselves through education and training for this omnichannel take over of voice. While other channels have taken some of the voice pie, it's not nearly as significant as those of us in this field thought it would. I've created chat bots, IVRs and everything in between for automation, and people absolutely hate it and simply want to talk to a human. Most customers push going to the website, but the problem is that a lot of people don't know how to navigate properly. To help this, a lot of customers implement co-browse into their chat solution, but that's only helped a little. We too are using Google's Dialogflow and I'll be looking to deploy my first one in a couple months - very promising compared to other solutions out there like Amazon Connects Lex Bot. Regardless, leaders and technology evangelists in this field still preach that by 2025, the overall percentage of the pie for voice will end up being about 15%. But they emphasize that those humans who make up the 15% will be the most important in the customer service/support space.
Russia exhibited the opposite phenomena. In part it was urbanites vs farmers. The "kulak" was the source of all evil and had to be brought to heel through collectivization.

The most effective technique the Soviets found to accomplish this was mass starvation.
While Marx surely thought his program was in the best interests of the proletariat, the dictatorship was a dictatorship not a democracy:

"The most effective lever for the achievement of this object is the conquest of political power. With its aid the proletariat can consciously carry out the transformation of a Capitalist into a Communist society. To this transformation, there also corresponds a political transition period, the state of which can be nothing else than a revolutionary Dictatorship of the Proletariat." — Marx, Letter to the German Social Democracy, 1875

The Khmer Rouge was that "political transition period" Marx spoke of.
>"In the 1990s, the Argentine peso was pegged to the U.S. dollar. That meant the Argentine government guaranteed that you could always change one Argentine peso for one U.S. dollar. If you had 1,000 Argentine pesos in your bank account, you could walk into the bank and ask for $1,000 U.S. dollars and they’d hand it over.

By 2001, the peg had become unsustainable for a number of reasons and the government of Argentina abandoned it. As a result, the exchange rate went into freefall.

Imagine if you looked at your bank account and the value had gone down by 75 percent over the course of a year and you hadn’t spent a dime of it. That’s effectively what happened in Argentina.

In less than a year, the exchange rate went from 1:1 to 4:1. If you had US$10,000 worth of pesos in your bank account in 2001, a year later you would have had only US$2,500.

Attempts to withdraw U.S. dollars as the exchange rate plummeted were thwarted for most citizens, because the run on the bank (where everyone tries to take their money out at the same time) meant there were no U.S. dollars left to hand out.

Mimi told me she slept outside the bank for a week to no avail. 75 percent of her life savings disappeared. The same happened to others, and crime increased. To add insult to injury, she had to install bars over her windows to prevent her house from being robbed like many others in the neighborhood were."
They're cheaper and its more likely that profit constrained telcos will buy their equipment as a competitive edge while selling out their populace.
no. tired of these lame discussions about something as trivial as a penny. nobody should waste time on contemplating such a question.
AGPL would be more apropos in this day and age of "SaaS all the things."
This heavily depends on the industry you're in. In software, yes this may be true, but in low margin industries it's absolutely not.

The maths is simple. If my margin is 1%, and you make me an extra $100, I keep a buck. If you save me $100, I keep that whole $100. If I'm smart, I can use that to drive my prices down, and take more market share without reducing my margin.

Obviously it becomes less clear if your margin is >20% or so.

Classic ad hominem. They write an article, list their sources and you dismiss it out of hand because of which entity wrote the article. Surely you can do better than that?
You're right, they've been at it for a year already. Probably why the app isn't banned yet
having watched a lot of coding streams on twitch and have done a few myself, it is really varied, some are sometimes very focused on doing something specific and is just full steam ahead in knocking it out, some are very stop start with lots of reflection and changes of direction. But it is also interactive, people chime in and you end up in meta discussions or sidetracks, or people offer help, etc. So there is no real set style.
I do the same! I don't care about the minute (imho) differences in graphics between a multiple thousand dollar maxed out PC for the newest games, vs a $300ish PS4 that is pretty much guaranteed to work fine FPS wise and look great.

No driver issues though, but the frequent and sizeable updates are so bad.

After a 2 year hiatus, my Destiny 2 installation (60ish GB) needed to download updates... amounting to 60ish GB. On my current connection, that was a huge chunk of the weekend.
At a gas station, they have between one and four prices (diesel, regular, premium, and premium plus, or whatever your station calls it). So it’s easy for them to adjust those four numbers. At a grocery store selling thousands or tens of thousands of items, it’s a huge task to set the price tag for each item. So instead (or so I’ve heard), prices tags are produced by the grocery store’s corporate office. This would be much more difficult to do if the price had to vary from town to town. Suppose this grocery store chain has a hundred stores. Instead of making ten thousand tags 100 times, you have to make 10 million tags entirely uniquely. This is even more difficult for things like clothes where the price is on a tag physically attached to the garment. Imagine if the sales tax went down in that town; every single article of clothing would need to be relabeled.
Loopholes work until a judge uses their ability to exercise judgment and judges that they don't work.

These are absolutely just low-bin EPYC chips. EPYC has never had "consumer-available" motherboards (read: you can buy them, just have to know where to look), nor have some of the chips been officially validated for Windows 10 (read: it works fine). But the 2TB of 8-channel memory and 128 PCI-E lanes screams EPYC.

Unclear what the price differential will be, but consumers can buy EPYC chips just fine, so if you want something home-built, that's a path. The main issue is finding a good motherboard; going Xeon-at-home is pretty straightforward, but EPYC boards tend to be really basic server-grade stuff designed for a datacenter.
I once put an IPv6 address into YAML. It didn't survive the round trip and nearly caused an incident.
I get it every couple years and always have but I think it’s fun too. I even get the dark figure standing at the foot of my bed thing as well. It’s sort of like a being on a roller coaster. It’s a little scary at first but you can’t get off so might as well enjoy the ride.
Is PCMR leaking?
I once reduced the amount of code for a client by ~75% and added usability and fault-tolerance.
I wasn't even half done and they thought it was good enough.
LoC is no measure.
Lol, what?

So were you able to find a "academic source" that audited the media in this way?
I agree sysvinit was no longer sufficient for today's needs.

The issue I have with systemd was mainly related to its heaviness not really fitting in with Arch's simplicity. And with the products of corporatism seeping through even one the most noncommercial variants of Linux. Basically what cwyers mentioned above.

I've been putting up with systemd as all the distributions I use have moved to it, but I never really liked it.. I don't like the way the scripts are so far hidden in the filesystem and I don't like journalctl, I prefer having simple logfiles.

I discovered Alpine linux recently as a server distro (previously I thought it was mainly developed for docker containers) and I really took a liking to OpenRC. It reminded me that things could still be simple even in a modern init system. I think it would have been a good choice for Arch, for me it would have been better than systemd. I don't even know the other systems you mention, I'm not an expert on init systems.. My opinion is just that of a user.

Management feels low value sometimes - it's hard to quantify your contribution. At first, I felt a lot of imposture syndrome and wondered if management could be automated. Now I know soooo differently.

Having worked as a manager for a year now, I can say:

It's way busier than you know!

There's a lot of work that happens behind the scenes to keep everything going. The better your manager is, the more invisible this work will seem to the team.

I think this is sort of like asking: what does a coach even do in sportsball? They're not a player, why not just have the team do their own thing?

It's a different layer of the system that requires a lot of systems thinking and people skills. Here is a list of how I spend my time:

- Making sure the right people have the right opportunities to solve the right problems

- Coaching individuals on my team on career development

- Helping to define organizational topology/structure and interfaces between teams & roles

- Manage expectations of those outside the dev team

- Proposing & maintaining process documentation

- Helping define organization culture & maintain it

- Hiring & Interviewing

- Architecture, tech debt, system vision, and helping the tech leads make the business case

- Facilitating communication between teams & acting as a shield for my team, so that they can maintain focus

And then there are things that aren't officially my responsibility, but I end up doing because I do what's needed:

- Jump in to help facilitate the team through an incident

- Act as scrum master / agile ceremony facilitator

- Produce Roadmaps & help define work/user stories when there is no Project/Product Manager / Business Analyst available

- Troubleshoot production issues

And I know there is so much more. To be honest, I would NOT have enough time to do everything if I spent 80% of my time coding. I'm lucky to get 5-20% of my time coding in!

I think the original poster should try Engineering Management for a while to see how busy they get with non-coding tasks.

Competencies you require to be an Engineering Manager:

- Agile/DevOps/DevSecOps/Continous Delivery/Modern Buzzwords

- Systems thinking

- Organizational Design

- Process design, including things like Lean, Six Signma, Toyota, etc.

- Business strategy

- Recruiting

- Mentoring

- Coaching

- Public Speaking

- Written communication

- Product Engineering

- Infrastructure Engineering

- Negotiation & facilitation of disputes

- And the list goes on!

A really good book I recommend to try to understand the systems thinking required for management is:

An Elegant Puzzle
Systems of Engineering Management

Python or JavaScript
If you already code in python or javascript, which one is your favorite ? And why ?
Yeah, my comment does seem to depict America as a monolith.
I mean, no one in the world thinks Silicon Valley is lacking in relevance. And no doubt many other places have their crap sorted out too.

But my point remains, America on the whole needs to do more "developing" than sitting on it's laurels as a "1st world country".
Just because someone, somewhere in America is doing ok doesn't mean you should give up drinking water/healthcare/education/sensible-financial-services for other people.

Also - as you say - not like America is alone in this, and far from being the worst place to live in the world - even with Trump.
But being media-wise very visible in the world we seem to see a lot more "America is wonderful." than acknowledgement of the flaws.

My own country - Australia - largely digs up dirt for it's economy, also has a history of ignoring experts, has it's own dark history, etc etc. I am so disappointed in my own country too.

> I'm honestly astonished that people like Slobodan Milosevic were prosecuted, but Kissinger hasn't spent the past 30 years in a prison cell.

In your opinion what did Kissinger do that amounts to genocide of his own people, not to mention the string of assassinations of his domestic opponents?
Hey Protects Your People
This is really cool vizualization.

I have just started creating voice/sound analysis tools myself and the first ones are located at:
https://voicecoach.ai/voice-recorder

Over the next month I am planning to add pitch recognition.
"Sketch" themes or "xkcd" themes (named after the pencil look of the comic) can be quite handy for this.

For instance, Bootsketch: http://yago.github.io/Bootsketch/

I wish some of the bigger CSS frameworks would adopt sketch theming support as a "progressive" option, rather than the entire page all or nothing being Bootstrap or Bootsketch have the ability to add a "sketch" class to any element on any page. (Or maybe better yet, forcing sketch styles by default and needing something like a "final" or "final final" class everywhere, like the documents folder of someone that has never understood source control.)
You can do as low as a Quadro P620 for the GPU option. You could then add in your own consumer card.

I think the main thing here with the list of choices in the need to provide ISV certification.
Highly recommended. Haing Ngor won the Best Supporting Academy Award for his portrayal which also may have offended Pol Pot/the Khmer rouge enough to get him killed. [0]

At the distances people sit from their TV, taken with the average TV sizes, going higher than 1080p is not needed. You'd need to sit closer than 2m (!) to a 55" TV to be able to observe the fidelity increase from 4K.[0]

The same goes for very fine particle effects or extremely high resolution textures. You just won't notice it.
That is not to say those things don't have a place, they are amazing and definitely look amazing at the close distances one sits from a PC monitor. Its just not an apples-to-apples comparison.

I also feel that past 60Hz+FPS, the higher numbers bring very diminishing returns, especially for controllers. Although I'd much rather see modern consoles go 1080p120fps than 4k60fps.

It would be "Mein Krieg", not "Mein Kampf". Source: I'm German.

Also, "Kampf" would be active fighting, and this game is about people who are in the opposite situation and become subjects of violence.
It'd be interesting if there was some way to measure user satisfaction per release. It would be nice to know which versions are working well for people and which ones are breaking things.
TikTok seemed to run off of Alibaba Cloud (from what I read which may be wrong) so it's an interesting move to buy Cloud Services from Google. I probably read this as a way of strengthening the case that they're an "American" software company since they run on the same infrastructure as any SV startup.
These are great points. Running meetings (industry example) over Zoom is very different from running them in person, and for many of the same reasons that you point out.

This is going to sound like a plug, but I took a LifeLabs course on Meetings Mastery, and one small part of it was a discussion of how to engage with people over Zoom. Some examples were using the chat to ask questions that merit chat responses, asking people to "+1" in the chat when they agree with something (maybe students could "?" when they are getting lost), and using polls and breakout rooms.

As someone who's been frustrated by adapting to the remote environment from a meetings perspective, I can relate. But at least the people in my meetings are mature enough (or compensated well enough) that they will keep cameras on, stay engaged in the discussion, etc.
As far as I understand it they also in many cases virtually held scientists or their families hostage to the outcome. Fail and you or your family gets sent to the gulags. One example is Yuri Gagarin's cosmonaut partner and his getting burned on re-entry due to rushing things to get under a deadline to avoid “consequences”.
A good rule of thumb (although it's difficult to summarize the salaries of all the countries in Europe) is:
Juniors up to 30K. Mediors up to 50K. Seniors up to 80K.

This is for software engineers.
> None of this jives with your above comment that Apple is “charging premium for features that should come by default”. They aren’t charging for any of this, they just don’t offer some features you want out of the box.

Your comment doesn't make sense. I am saying they're not offering features that come standard, free with other OSes so you end up being charged for this by having to go to a paid 3rd party alternative offering functionality that is typical on other OSes as default.

Even window snapping isn't a thing without 3rd party tools.
Yeah, but that's how every single thing that Elon Musk does is.

I followed all those failures at SpaceX before they landed the first booster, or the Model 3 intro, or fairing catches, or the original Model S. These things all took a lot longer than you'd expect from his comments, but they all happened!
The question, though, is which give you more accurate results? :-)
> that won't let you get anywhere near the 1TB limit of the first systems to ship or the technical limit of 2TB as other posters pointed out.

The limit of TRX40 is 256 GB max, 32 GB individual, and WRX80 supports RDIMMs, so finding larger UDIMMs is pointless, anyway.
so, if i understand the article correctly, for purposes of realtime reporting/monitoring (streaming, as stated), eventual consistency is not an appropriate "store" to hook into because you cant know when things have become consitstent, and reliable streaming of (near?) realtime data requires some chance for that to occur

is that a correct interpretation?
