good.

i hope an all out Space War does happen. therefore, i support any escalation in support of acceleration.

bring on Kessler Syndrome. end all space based telecommunications. that will end drone wars, NRO spying on the whole Earth, and dramatically scale back most navy and submarine opations as well as air force capabilities.

the less capabilities to fight WW3 there are, the less war there will be. and that is a net benefit to all humans on Earth.

It makes me sad we live in a society where profit is the first and foremost consideration for anything. Preserving history, human creativity, the progress of society, the betterment of future generations all comes second to profit. How many things will get or have been lost to time or just lost in general because they didn't make or cut into profit?

The internet archive may have its faults, but its value to humanity is something that should be considered. It's sad it won't be. The only consideration will be how they cut into profit and on those grounds they will be penalized.

I realize this isn't the audience for this kind of comment, what with being a news site for a profit driven startup culture, but this profit driven culture we have is going to destroy so much before we even realize what we've lost.
The problem with Intel is that they have been missing important deadlines by massive amounts of time. Their 10nm node was slated to arrive almost 5 years ago. It is still far from mature.

TSMC is readying serial production of 5nm (equivalent to Intel 7nm) this year.

I wouldn't plan on seeing a 7nm product from Intel in any volume until 2024, and I wouldn't place money on that as a bet.
That’s interesting and something I hadn’t considered.

That said it probably depends on the job.

I’m currently working remote, but same timezone. I may go remote at a very different timezone, but the expectation is clear that I’m overlapping most of the West Coast work day (calls with vendors, team calls, etc).

For me that would mean working from 8pm to 2am, approximately. Not sure I have the stamina for that.
Great product! Although I also gave up on KVM already, I wouldn't hesitate to get a disruptor if it's 10x better.
Truth is I've seen the moon during the day, and if you asked me "when is the moon visible", I'd say "during the night" and if you said "ah ha trick question!", I'd say "unless cloudy", or "not the entire night" or "also at dusk" or "depends where you are" or other "guess the uncommon answer I'm thinking of". If anything your conclusion should be that I'm an idiot, not that I "never look at the sky period". But more reasonably your conclusion should be that people look at hoofprints and see horses not zebras - it's like asking "on what day of the year do you get older?" and getting the reply "on your birthday". It doesn't mean people think they don't age on other days or don't look at the clock, period, it means people think you're trying to hint that it's your birthday, or that you're blanking on the word "birthday" (or not a native speaker and don't know it), rather than expecting you stopped them for a science grilling.

You're going to say it's not a trick question; but it is a short question and expects a short answer "it's visible when X", and there isn't one, except the common approximation "Day: sun, Night: moon". Apart from that it's just a list of things which might be in the way of seeing it, and there's lots of them: "When it's above the horizon, enough not to be blocked by trees or hills, and the sky is clear, and the sun isn't too bright, and you're outside, and it's not behind a tall building, and your eyes are open, and you're facing the right way, and you aren't blind, and..."?

Good friend of mine said his company invented the book preview and had tons of publisher relationships due to their service for public libraries and preview snippets. They sat in a meeting with Amazon executives early 2000s - allegedly similar story. They were first offered a partnership then Amazon canceled all talks after getting a good grip on the business and launched their version shortly thereafter.
>I have been an AMD investor since pre-Zen launch and I think it is fair to say that EPYC sales feel like they haven't reached the levels some have hoped for quite yet.

I've been looking just these last few weeks at buying a new Epyc Rome system, and one thing I was a bit surprised (though I shouldn't have been, I just haven't thought about it in a long time) about was that while Rome is incredible as a CPU the whole ecosystem around it has lagged by quite a bit. Specifically, the motherboard selection is still well behind what you can find for Xeon. That's not AMD's fault and there is a bit of a standard egg/chicken bootstrap issue, the market has to be deep enough to really start to fill out the niches. Epyc being so good is what has allowed them to start clawing their way up at all, and the MB scene is already massively better then even the start of this year. Still though it's made it harder for me at least to unthinkingly pull the trigger, every option for my intended use-case entails compromises. There is no perfect fit.

I suspect over the next 6-12 months even that will be less and less the case. And hopefully that will mean accelerating momentum for AMD and bring some more long term competitiveness to that market. But it's been interesting being on the purchase hunt and seeing the development in real time, it already feels like the whole game has changed for CPUs but of course everything supporting that lags a cycle or two.
And yet they're quite profitable...

I'd say that totally depends on the area you're working in. If IT is at the core of your business, you'd probably be fine working from home. For companies in manufacturing/retail/etc. where the IT is not the core, I doubt permanent work from home would be equally good.
Looking at my company, the IT departments seem to be doing just fine. However, basically all people I know from engineering and other departments are really looking forward to come back to the office. Having everybody onsite is just so much easier if you have that many dependencies with other departments.

Also, I think the size of the company plays an important role as well. We're about 2000 employees in the IT departments alone, I somehow cannot imagine all of those people permanently working from home while also being able to properly cooperate with the other 100k employees.

My reading of this is that the ex-employee used the knowledge about EC2 instance credentials being accessible as a path to gain unauthorized access to data. In theory anyone could have exploited this vulnerability even if they had never worked for Amazon. They never say that Amazon employees had privileged credentaials that would give them unauthorized access to customer data.

AWS customers that want to avoid this vulnerability should disable IMDSv1 as per https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/defense-in-depth-open-...

I hear about artists being the ones who create vibrant neighborhoods a lot, and I'm honestly struggling to understand the causal effect that's being claimed. Do people really care about "living near where the art is happening" to the point where it would drive up property prices?

When I talk to people from demographics that are accused of being gentrifiers (young professionals), the overwhelming reasons they choose a neighborhood are to be near restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, shops, work and friends. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone pay a premium to be near an art gallery, or live near artists' private studios.

There are some gentrified neighborhoods that were known for their artists. New York's Soho is an example. These days the place is full of overpriced fashion stores, both independent ones as well as global chains. I can see why the shops were attracted - for branding purposes it might help to be associated with those artists. But I wouldn't say that artists turned it into a particularly vibrant neighborhood, at least not more than other neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan.

Is it that it's about correlation, not causation? It seems reasonable that artists would be attracted to an area for the same reason as, say, independent coffee roasteries (both require cheap space). I suspect it's only really the latter that are attracting new residents though.
They are still profitable, because there is a lot of remaining momentum in business markets and laptops. Those who have historically only bought intel and produced intel like a dogma take some time to change their ways. But change is happening, and it will hurt Intel badly...

I remember the DEC Alpha.

Intel (and HP) countered with Itanium, which was a break from (i.e. incompatible with) the x86 architecture (IA64). It tanked.

AMD created AMD64 which was x86 compatible. They released chips like the Athlon which were very popular. This turned out to be the winning strategy.

In a strange twist, Intel was forced by the market to adopt the AMD64. It released it's own version, Intel64.

Intel messed up there too in the 90s too. It wasn't until the Core CPU roadmap that Intel regained its lead.

There seems to be a link -- Jim Keller [1] was involved in the design of DEC Alpha chips, and then moved to AMD to work on the K8 and then co-wrote the AMD64 instruction set. He also worked on Apple's chips and Tesla's HW. He recently just left Intel. What a career.

Literally anything that hasn't been done yet hasn't been proven, so I don't really understand how you can use that as an argument against it. At worst, if it is unsuccessful, then the satellites will just stop getting launched and will all fall back to earth after a few years, and Elon et al will be out a few billion dollars.

> People in these remote places of the world are unlikely to be able to afford internet... not have a need or desire for it. They have other priorities.

Not my experience visiting some remote areas of India, Nepal, and Tibet. A single anecdote, but I gave a man a ride to the top of a mountain near Ganden monastery so he could use his cell phone. He went with a list of messages of various people in his family and who to send the messages to. He would normally walk 3 hours uphill in order to get service to send those messages (This was in 2007, maybe things have changed since then).

> The only barrier is cost - but for motivated villages and/or governments, it's not very expensive ($10's of thousands up front cost, trivial long-term costs).

Many places in the world wouldn't be able to drum up tens of thousands of dollars, and it isn't for a lack of motivation. But they might be able to drum up $500 and then $60/mo.

> There's some pretty non-trivial chance Starlink was only approved because of the Cult of Elon.

The FCC isn't composed of the twitter mob or the spacex subreddit.

I'm not really interested in debating positive or negative rights, or whether the UN was virtue signaling. My point was that many people view internet access as extremely important for humanity, and starlink and other projects may be an incredible boon for the world, at the expense of some astronomy observations.
We are humans first, Americans second, and Democrats/Republicans/whatever third.

It's been brewing since around 1970, plus or minus a few years.

What changed then? A lot of things. We can talk about the financial decoupling and tech, of course. But that was also when imported oil became a concern. It was when international shipping settled on a standard intermodal container. It was when the drug wars started. And it was after major victories in the civil rights movement, and failures in Vietnam. There were winners and losers in these changes. The big winners were neoliberal-progressives who could shape all these influences into a new political alignment that pleased globalizing businesses and placated the masses. The losers were the remnants of the supremacist structure post-Reconstruction, who had fell into a decline with the Depression and war years, and saw collapse in the 60's. They were ushered towards religion, nostalgia narratives about the good old days, and apocalyptic fiction about the decline of the world and those few who would stand up to it.

The problem that the neoliberal structure faced was the one politicians always face: how to accommodate a divided electorate and keep one's career? The formula that emerged was to force the talking points into a narrower spectrum, a tactic refined over the course of decades. In this space, policy change is blocked where it hurts private property interests(as neoliberalism indicates), and the remainder is a set-aside for partisanship where professionals craft pro and contra arguments.

But the consequence of doing that is a build-up of pressure on both left and right, as everything gradually becomes a property issue and gets blocked or deferred. With no enfranchisement, both have radicalized - first the right, and then the left in reaction.

And that's the state of things. How does it end? With a new coalition that courts all the defining forces of this era effectively, guided by some overarching ideology. However, if we take this to be a cycle as in Strauss-Howe's theory, this is simply the beginning of the neoliberal decline, a period of crisis management and compromise, not the defining of that coalition.
This justification appears to have happened after the fact - As far as I can tell the endorsing library program postdates the National Emergency Library. They’ve never mentioned the endorsing library program in connection with the NEL until very recently that I can see.

Additionally, they explicitly waived all waitlists when they launched the program, and spoke about is as if controlled lending had been temporarily abandoned (whereas now they’re saying it was still CDL, just with a larger source pool). As far as I can tell, this is all a post-hoc attempt to make the whole affair more legal.
TL; DR

I think Jena, a free and open source RDF framework, has been around for the last 20 years, and still releases pretty often. If you are considering using a graph database for your next project, you should give it a try! Here are some notes on how to get into RDF [1].

--

RDF is really at its core such a simple concept! What's built on top can go pretty deep though. RDF is a technology to describe graphs, with tools on top that allow querying, traversing, validating, and inferring information.

The way RDF describes graphs is with the use of a "triple". This triple has the form:

Subject -> Property -> Object

A sample triple could be: Tarantino Directed Kill-Bill.

The power of the model comes from the fact the elements of the triple use unique IDs by mean of URIs, so a more realistic triple could be:

<http://imdb.com/tt0266697> <http://movies.com/job/director> "Kill Bill Vol. 1"@en.

In this example, the object is a literal instead of a entity with its own URI: the English title of a movie. As long as someone else uses the same subject URI, I may automatically discover new things about my own data by merging someone else triples into mine. There's also an extension that allows naming the graph where the triple lives: the triple becomes a "quad". The name of the graph should be an URI: <https://me.com/my-movies>.

Through the years there's been more stuff built on top of the model: various serialization formats (most of them plain text based), a query language (SPARQL, similarities with Datalog), frameworks for "semantic inference" (OWL), schemata and constraints, asking the graph to be a certain shape (SPIN, SHEX, SHACL), an easy way to make statements about the triples, like "this triple was created on this date by this person" (RDF*), and I'm sure a lot more stuff I'm forgetting or I don't know about :-).

Unfortunately, font-variation-settings isn't supported by Firefox, Safari, IE, or older versions of Edge, so these settings only work for ~70% of users according to Can I Use.

It was a bit frustrating viewing this site on Firefox and not having any indication of why the settings weren't changing anything.

Of course, maybe that's because there hasn't been enough demand for it, and now that there is a font that's widely available which can use this, Firefox might finish enabling it (looks like there is a flag for it, but it's not enabled by default).

I started on a remote-only team about 6 years ago. For half of that time our only chat system was a 1-to-1 and you could do group chats but had to explicitly invite people and they had to accept. When we switch to Slack (although Teams or Riot or open source would have worked too) and had always-on chat rooms, things changed dramatically.

Prior to the change, I only “knew” coworkers I had traveled to clients with and spent time with in the same room. Now I “know” everyone who regularly participates in the water cooler chat. We have our serious chat room, our water cooler room, rooms for other teams so we can ask questions, DMs, gif support, everything. It’s really brought us closer together as a team. I couldn’t imagine working remote without a watercooler, all-team, anything-goes chat room.

Prometheus has AlertManager which provides a framework for incident notification (we route incidents to Mattermost and PagerDuty, for example; PD ends up being our big incident response tool, which lets us cascade into a variety of "wake the sysadmin up" methods). It doesn't do APM, but it wouldn't be difficult to expose a Prometheus agent for your APM (just like you'd expose metrics for anything else you want to monitor).

I appreciate new tools, but I do think it's fair to ask what it does better than the existing tools. Prometheus' biggest problem is its learning curve, IMO, so there might be some gains to be made there, but after using it, I think the learning curve is a function of its architecture, which is a large part of what makes it so resilient. If it can be improved while maintaining (or improving on) resilience, awesome, but I personally know that I won't sleep well at night if my monitoring service isn't rock-solid.
