1) Nvidia my produce good performing GPUs, but it doesn't provide Open Source Drivers and it is not so cooperative with Linux Desktop. Also it is quite buggy.

2) Due to (1) , i believe that this acquisition might promote locked down devices. I don't want this situation to occur.

3) This acquisition may have some affect on Apple since Apple is transitioning to ARM Hardware. If this is the case, Apple may even transit to some other Hardware architecture like RISC-V or OpenPower once again.
The host interface has to be one of the simplest parts of the system, and I mean no disrespect to the fine engineers who work on that. Even the various internal task schedulers look more complex to me.

If you don't have insider's knowledge of how these things are made, I suggest using less certain language.
We've built a few multitenant products, and made friends with some other companies who've done the same.

The tradeoff between "using an external FaaS system" and "just embedding v8" is pretty important. If your user customizable code can be reduced to basically one HTTP call, the options you mentioned will probably work fine.

When we did this though, we found that it was really irritating to have coarse grained for customer interactions and we were better off just embedding our own runtime and building a really nice JS based API for people to use.

So if I were you, I might actually look at whether embedding Deno (https://deno.land/manual/embedding_deno) and building your own runtime API is valuable.

We went: Lambda hooks -> v8 runtime -> Firecracker VMs for our particular use case.

Why should you have to use Prometheus? There are plenty of options, and good reasons why you might want to push data rather than pull.

"banality of mere happiness"

That is exactly it.

Based on this article I would certainly be a member of the group called a success addict. I can only speak for myself here but in my opinion "happiness" is not only the wrong goal, it's an active distraction from determining and pursing the right goal. I have MY version of what the right goal is, but have no illusions on it's generality.

Therein the conflict lies: The average person in my estimation defaults to "happiness" as the generalizable optimization vector.

To wit - the article demonstrates this with the language of addiction and a reinforcement of the ONE TRUE GOAL: "relationships and love." Deviation from happiness (epicurean or hedonistic) as the ultimate goal is exactly that - deviant!

Put another way: many people choose to pursue a meaningful life over a happy life.

The English word "happy" covers a wide range of states and I'm not sure the original article has even settled on one definition. They reference terms like 'life satisfaction', 'orginary delights', 'relationships and love', 'hedonic treadmill', etc.

The article seems to be coming from a good place, but I think the deeper message got lost in the noise: "Work for a sense of personal meaning, not outward achievement" (paraphrased).

Happiness and success don't have to be mutually exclusive.

> Unfortunately many, if not most high paying jobs will still require higher education, particularly the stereotypically well paying ones.

Not just any higher education, though, but specific professional degrees that grant access to supply managed markets. That part seems to be often missed when this topic comes up.

I recall a Gallup study into the top 1% finding that something like 70% of the top 1% have a professional degrees (doctors, lawyers, etc.). The remaining portion was comprised of more people with high school or less than those with only a bachelor degree, suggesting that a bachelor degree alone does nothing to improve your prospects. Which goes against the common thinking.

But is also echoed in the general economy. With the rise of post-secondary attainment, incomes have held stagnant. If there was a financial advantage gained though higher education itself, not through supply management, incomes would be rising.

Actually my response would be that you just have a plain-ish vanilla list of `Component`, and a function `TotalCost(List[Component]) -> float`, which is implemented as, approximately, lambda arr: sum(x.cost for x in arr). This maintains the invariant without state.

There's a potential performance cost here, but that usually doesn't matter a whole lot.

Call me young but I didn't really realize until now that having to buy a whole album was a thing. I grew up with Kazaa, Ares, The Pirate Bay, Google Video, Newgrounds, YouTube, Grooveshark and Spotify (in that order). CDs existed but were something my parents used; I didn't like much music in the first place as a teenager and the stuff that I liked I never saw anyone own a CD of. Heck, I don't think I knew anyone that liked metal in the first place at that time.

In hindsight, I should have paid artists fairly, that much is clear to me now (I paid ever since Grooveshark).

Nevertheless, not having experienced the music album phase, it seems like an odd thing to pay for things you know you don't want and have to switch CDs the whole time to get to what you do want. I can't think of a single album I'd listen A-Z. There are a few rare bands where I like most of their songs (because they're very similar), and some bands where I don't like most songs but I like most from one or two of their albums, but I don't think there exists a single album where I like all songs, nor that I like >=50% of the songs in 50% of the albums of which I like >=1 song.

Its the other way around. A classic study from the 1960s found that color words and the correlated perception were pretty similar among a large number of languages. That suggest something physiological about color perception.

What is curious is how color words evolve. Most languages have between two and eight basic color words (and color concepts). Those with two colors is almost always the same two colors- light and dark. The third color is usually red-brown. And fourth usually blue-green.

Summary for Europeans who are blocked from this site:

A Tampa teenager, 17-year-old Graham Clark, is in jail, accused of being the “mastermind” behind a hack on the social media website Twitter that caused limited access to the site and high-profile accounts.

The state attorney's office says the scheme to defraud “stole the identities of prominent people” and “posted messages in their names directing victims to send Bitcoin” to accounts that were associated with the Tampa teen. According to the state attorney, the scheme reaped more than $100,000 in Bitcoin in just one day.

I have the same sentiment, Indeed does not seem to be a representative source for the tech jobs market. I have an impression that most postings there are for staffing firms and the number of their posts do not correspond to the actual vacancies (they might be all posting the same job or post fake jobs to collect resumes).

The drop could be just the result of some of those firms ceasing their activity as I definitely don't see as many CyberCoders and whatever was that bot, which automatically reposted vacancies on Linkedin (JobNetwork or something), in the recent months.

The topic of spending "too much time at work" is something I think about a lot. (Wrote 2 previous comments about this.[0])

In the 2nd thread, one reply ask, "Have you tried finding fulfillment in having a family?" -- I didn't reply to that but I want to do so here.

It depends on the personality as a parent but it can be very dangerous to rely on your family to be the source of happiness and hoping that it overrides an unsatisfactory job. I'm heavily influenced by growing up with my unhappy mother because she had artistic ambitions that were disrupted by having children (me). She had to work at a "boring" 9-to-5 job to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. Because of her awful (but good paying) job, all of our misbehavior and problems were magnified and she lost a lot of patience with us. For our specific circumstances, we might have been all better off if she (over)worked 60+ hours at something she liked (for possibly even less pay) so we as children weren't such a glaring irritation to her. Lots of frustrations with us with exasperations such as, "Do you know how hard I have to work to put food on the table?!"

Based on that, I think one of the greatest gifts you can give to your future spouse, and future children ... is to find work that's palatable. Don't bring your misery home. Don't ask your family to be the _source_ of happiness. That's too much pressure on them. Instead, see them as _enhancing_ your existing happiness.

I'm not giving universal advice here. I'm emphasizing that you really need to examine yourself and understand who you really are before thinking your family and relationships will be your salvation. It wasn't for my mother and it's not for me.
Maybe we're psychologically defective. I don't know. For me, I already tried the author's advice with a 40-hour job and "work/life balance". That doesn't make me happy. What works for me is to pursue an unbalanced life.

Yes, there's "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", and "nobody lies on their deathbed wishing they spent more time at the office", and "hustle porn", etc. I'm aware of all the derogatory memes that try to invalidate how I feel but I can't help it.

Remember the I'm a Mac I'm a PC ads? MS was branded as uncool, boring and not creative and that mindset probably influenced a lot of Apple's adoption in the mobile space.

Microsoft wants to go where the money is and get the mindshare of younger generations who will have money to spend a few years down the line.
