I dealt mostly with LeftHand and EqualLogic gear when iSCSI was getting rolling. Both were far more reliable than the various FC gear I dealt with around the same time. You could pull any node and things kept chugging. Rolling software updates were non-events.

Simplicity has its virtues I suppose. Running 4 or 8 gigabit cables to each node on dedicated switch ports likely also helped.
Speaking of pre-release hype for over-promised scope,

Internet Historian's "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky" is surprisingly a well told, heart-warming (albeit quite long) video telling the story of No Man's Sky, how it got so hyped, and the good-faith steps the developers took to do their best to make good on their promises.

Yes.

You would be highly amused to know that the game's creator, Derek Smart, has written extensively against Star Citizen:

A con man knows better than anyone how to spot a fellow con man, as they say.
I wonder if it's even possible to fix Google search in the framework of a for-profit company. It seems like the trajectory of any ad-supported service eventually lands it in a "don't let the user out no matter the cost" phase. Perhaps such a service really does need to operate as a non-profit foundation of some sorts.

There was a post about regulating Google like a public utility recently, but perhaps we should also consider looking at other less conventional internet "public utilities" - things like the Internet Archive, Wikipedia or essential open source projects like Debian. I think a search engine that's transparent both in terms of its logic and how it's maintained and managed might be the only way.
Startup Draft 19: Most Innovative Startups that raised funding last week
I've been on a team like this before with heavily separated feature and refactor pods and it doesn't really work.

The feature pods outpace the refactor pods. Feature pods can use a bad pattern 50 times in the time it takes refactor pods to fix 10 of them. Not every fix can be scripted. Some bad patterns restrict the ability for the codebase to stay up to date on dependencies, etc. Lots of reasons not to accumulate this stuff faster than you can strip it off.

It also impacted team cohesion, as refactor pods started to resent the poor quality of feature pods' deliverables. Since refactorers are peers, it got weird when they exerted refactor pressure on feature devs who got wedged between their peers and their managers.

Ultimately I think this article is a little too black and white. The "just do the ticket" dev is as undesirable a teammate as the "refactors to excess" dev. It's better if devs are a little of both and the team culture helps everyone keep a healthy balance.

I take one scoop, 2-3 a day. Depends on how stressed I am. Always once in the morning. Sometimes in the afternoon (it seems to help my concentration stamina). Once close to bed.

Ruminations have diminished. Anxiety greatly lowered.

I still get sad, angry, etc. But those feelings seem to dissipate much quicker. Mentally I get exhausted less. N=1, of course.

*I also take a calcium/vitamin d/zinc combo as well.
I mean pivot this a little bit and you could easily make this about some hipster coffee snob, some PC gaming supremacist, or whatever else society has arbitrarily decided is elitist snobbery over a maestro executing art.

The worst part about manifestos like this is when they enable people who think they're this good when really they are subject to the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Not sure when CSS variables were added, but I'd consider them more friendly to user customization than preprocessors that inline the same font stack 20 times in autogenerated class names (looking at medium.com), requiring you to override the font stack 20 times.
It’s not just copyright. Because of Google’s monopoly what they are doing is stealing a revenue stream from Genius. This is another case of Google leveraging their search monopoly.

They need to be declared a monopoly and put on a very short leash here. I hope something comes of the hearings in Washington late last month.
It might be far less than ideal, but I was under the impression that's pretty standard. Unless you pay for an enterprise plan (and possibly extra on top of that depending on your SLA requirements) at best you'll get a billing credit for the downtime.

So... why not just take the source of something you like and include it?

Probably if one "thinks" they can do it in a half an afternoon, you can look at the source of something that simple for two or three things and just clone/renamspace/whatever to the source.
I mean... maybe, but probably not. Science has also learned a lot since then, and most skeptics aren’t scientists. Plausible cynicism grade: C-
I think the legal argument services like serpapi make is that as long as you don't create a google account and/or accept google's terms then you are free to scrape and clone what is publicly accessible (at least in the US). I have no idea though.
How does it compare to other islands? I've been to several in the Pacific, but still didn't make it over to the Caribbean yet. With the historical connection to the UK and France (my parents are British but I grew up in France), I feel like I'd have something in common culturally - I don't totally belong to either country, but have a bit of both.

I've looked into a few countries there though, for political reasons. Grenada has a citizenship by investment option, and visa-free tourist entry to China. Barbados is also trying to attract remote workers.

In my case I've been a digital nomad wandering around, yet I'm trying to settle down in New Zealand if the government will grant my resident visa application (applied in Feb 2019, still haven't heard).

Carly told me about this survey through BeWelcome/CouchSurfing. She's politically active with the decision makers. With all the immigration struggles I've faced, having a country actively ask for advice on how to shape their future is incredible!
I have this. I think it's because we're procrastinating on a "productive" thing. So to escape to empty feel good is too far for the brain, cue something mindless, easy but still somehow productive.
How is quoting the official Mozilla FAQ "splitting hairs"? It doesn't claim he's leaving to spend more time with his family, it literally asks if he was fired, and answers no, then asks if he was asked to resign, and answers no. How more explicit can you get? Do you have reason to believe the FAQ is lying?
...like it or not, I bet someone’s eventually going to make this a copypasta.

That's a bit strange. At least in the US manufacturers will bid for shelf space, to get closer to eye level, the end of the aisle, or what have you. Store brands get a privileged position as well. So at least here the placements do change, but usually because a different person has won/lost the bid war.

That's a quality of tooling issue. And in Visual Studio, for example, you can set breakpoints on individual subexpressions in the query.
> You could certainly disagree with the interests of the Mozilla Foundation's board

Right. They can choose to do whatever they want, it's their call.

My point is Mozilla has pretty clearly been in some tough straits for a while now trying to remain relevant. Now they are having to lay people off.

In my opinion, they have bigger issues to worry about as a corporation than social values, etc.

But also I'm just a random nobody on the internet, so what's it really matter?
You do have to prove intent of willful ignorance beyond a reasonable doubt though, which is easier said than done.

It takes legwork to establish intent, which is why justice is never carried out very quickly.
Not with Google Fi, at least. Cellular networks are optimized for human voice and the compression will typically break the protocols originally designed to transfer data over landlines.

That's exactly what politics in the US is. It literally just boils down to that in terms of practical effect.
The FAQ literally asks if he was fired and answers no. Saying he was effectively fired is actually revisionist bullshit, that directly contradicts the FAQ. Do you have proof the FAQ lied? Has Eich himself ever claimed he was effectively fired or pushed out, or are you just making that story up, and calling the actual facts "revisionist bullshit"? That's called "psychological projection".

He was a victim of his own homophobia.

"why not blame all possible parties?"

10 years ago I would have said 'it's probably Western companies helping them'.

Now, I would say probably it's Chinese. Frankly, because it's going to be so, so much cheaper, let alone it probably doesn't come with any potential political headaches, and, they are developing a 'core competency' in this.

That said, Putin has serious geopolitical interest in Belarus, and himself is supportive of the regime. Since the Russian state is also 'good at that stuff' it could very well be a state-sponsored initiative.

Finally, Belarus is not Venezuela, wherein they might have difficulty recruiting all the talent necessary to do this. Belarus has enough native talent to contemplate the task.

But it'd be interesting to know 'who' is helping them do this.
Keep Up: The first book written by an AI
We can make IVF progeny with a separate mitochondrial parent, been doing that about a decade. We move ones we like between cells.
I was on a project where we added 6 people to an 8 person team in 2 weeks. Velocity stayed exactly the same as before for a sprint or two but quality issues jumped. We then spent an enormous portion of time on bug fixing. It took about 2 months before the overall team really saw a net benefit to velocity by adding those people.

Brooks exact numbers might be come from a different time, but the principle holds unless you have an uncommonly decoupled set of problems.
That's a worthwhile nit to pick, but I stand by it :)

For those that dismissed NMS due to the launch fiasco and never looked at it again, it’s now an incredible game. If they’d launched it then in the state it’s in now, it would probably have been a colossal hit and gone down as one of the best space survival/exploration games ever made. For me personally it’s easily top 5, and space survival is the primary genre I play almost every day.

Also, playing it on PSVR is incredible. No cut-down “VR Experience”, it’s the full game in VR. Doing VR dog fights in an asteroid belt against waves of fighters, then transitioning through the atmosphere as the fight follows you down to ground level is an awesome experience.

>Update 2: A Mozilla spokesperson says "the three board members ended their terms last week for a variety of reasons," adding "two had been planning to leave for some time, one since January and one explicitly at the end of the CEO search, regardless of the person selected."

Do you have any evidence that the official Mozilla FAQ about the matter is lying, and that they actually fired him, or did not ask him to stay? Has Eich himself ever made the claim that he was fired, or forced out, or denied the board tried to get him to stay? Or are you just spreading conspiracy theories that contradict the known facts?
Western powers weren’t committing atrocities like the Rape of Nanking during the 30s and 40s. Japanese troops killed surrendered soldiers, raped and murdered civilians not as a rare or exceptional event, but as a standard act in every country they invaded during the 30s and 40s.
Remember when Horowitz gave this company $10 million just because he liked rap music? Good times.
while true, you can say this about anything which doesn't have any permissions system too. why worry about end-user security, they can just fork and modify.

which means, effectively, that it becomes a 0.001% or worse event. arguably the whole point of privacy-focused (or even -aware) software is to increase that beyond "fork and modify"'s ratio, as far as possible, because it doesn't work in practice for the vast majority of the globe.
Anyway, on the topic, none of the reasons presented in the article seem compelling. Government regulation should step in when consumers have no choice but to use something that has achieved a monopoly, and the payment networks mentioned do make a more compelling case.

It seems inappropriate for regulation to step in when something happens to be popular but there are equal or better alternatives easily available, and changing to a different search engine is about the easiest change a person could make in their life.

In the case of mitigating any bad behavior by Google, there's a very easy alternative solution for the problem, which is to convince people to use other search engines. I haven't used Google as mine for over 15 years and I don't believe I've suffered at all for it. I've found DuckDuckGo to perfectly suit my needs. Google run as a public utility could potentially hurt all the other search engines that many would consider to be superior solutions already.
5G Brings New Testing Challenges
Yeah, my experience has been similar. We are finally migrating our monitoring/alerting off of DataDog and directly onto CloudWatch because their sales team refused to budge on pricing and demanded the inclusion of features we weren't interested in. That, and they are nowhere near supporting GovCloud environments.
I think you can just do:

(setq comp-speed 3)

Then you should tell it to recompile all of your elisp files:

(native-compile-async "~/.emacs.d/elpa/" <n> t)
(native-compile-async "<path/to/system/elisp/files>" <n> t)

Where <n> is the number of threads you want. It's also possible than you have deferred compilation and that's the problem?

* The WiFi in the airport is hostile? No Fly.

I once tried to rely on a mobile boarding pass to get through security. The process required Internet access, and I wasn't able to pull it up.

It wasn't until I was on the other side of security (via a paper pass) that I realized the airport WiFi was falsifying DNS results, and that was preventing me from pulling up the pass on the mobile device. But handling "DNS server is reachable but being actively man-in-the-middled" wasn't a code path the developer had thought of (I know I wouldn't have…). I needed to open a browser and agree to some inane ToS or watch an ad, or something, before I could get unadulterated Internet access.
A significant consideration here is SEO and crawlability. Rendering the page server-side will serve a page with content even without JavaScript running on the client, yet for clients that do have JavaScript they still get the enhancements of an interactive JavaScript app.
My initial reaction to your comment was that you were being pedantic, but after thinking about it more I'm actually in agreement.

As a developer I would find the lack of syntax and structure to be frighteningly inefficient, not freeing.

That being said, I can dig the dream.

>I still experience various neurological issues for which they can't trace

The main issue I had (Tingling on the Face) has been successfully resolved after the surgery. Any other discomfort I had has been largely due to anxiety and post-traumatic stress from surgery, loosing my hard earned startup etc.

So targeted efforts in bringing down the anxiety helps me a lot[Staying in present, taking lesser sensory inputs(had dozens of phone calls earlier, now its zero phone calls, only email].

Hmm, I knew it was implemented in a bunch of plugins or dedicated software like PS. However I am surprised it's not found all over the place by now as part of default apps / preview / OS builtin software / img tag options, etc.

Also none of the implementations I have tried (last time I checked, not up to date on this) were as slick / realtime / interactive as the SIGGRAPH demo.
No, it’s a greedy algorithm. I don’t think it would be in P to solve it globally. Naively you could perform any graph search to find minimum total cost to depth N where the cost between nodes is the energy removed. In that case it’s exponential.

Because the seam is defined such that each pixel in the next row is within 1 column of the pixel in the preceding row, you can reuse all the calculations except for a pyramid shaped area around the last removed seam (in the worst case). However, that area is on the order of half the total number of pixels, so it doesn’t save _too_ much to reuse the other half.

Just a thought experiment: If Google releases paid version of search where it won't show ads, personalize based on your click-through history and do not copy content from source for presentation, won't share your data with anyone, would you opt for it?

Root cause of most of the issues seem to be monetization model of Google where they are optimising people to stay within their ecosystem.
Google has a history of scraping content that they want, their business is built on the back of scraping other peoples content. The story I read just recently of what happened to Celebrity Net Worth was an interesting read where Google asked for an API, they refused and Google just scraped the content anyway. There was no lawsuit, but CNW put up fake content and sure enough, it made its way to Google.

It is all ironic given how aggressive Google are in blocking any attempts to scrape its content.
