I really dislike that they make no distinction about what is and isn't an X-Pack feature in those release notes:

"Data Streams sounds cool! It could help alleviate some of the management overhead that I was accomplishing with ingest pipelines."

`X-Pack only`

I get that it's complementary to their ILM functionality, which, too, is an X-Pack feature, but still, clarity would be helpful.
For situations like these, you really need to talk to a solicitor who deals with employment and contract work. There may be online legal-focussed forums you can reach out to? There's also the Citizens Advice Bureau who may be able to offer more general advice - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/work/rights-at-work/basic-...

Economy is not a science

US has the highest GDP in the World, the highest per capita spending in healthcare in the World and the lowest life expectancy in the entire west

Unfortunately it also has one of the worst children mortality rate among the 36 most developed countries

"Compared with other OECD countries, the U.S. ranks No. 34 out of 36 countries"

https://data.oecd.org/healthstat/infant-mortality-rates.htm

Speaking of socio economic indicators, wanna talk about homicide rates in US, ten times higher than the European average and 1.5 times worse of Nigeria?

It means that every 2 homicides in 100K citizens in Nigeria there are 3 in USA.

It's easier to get shot and killed in USA than in Nigeria.

Doesn't sound very developed nor that the system is working towards a better life for everybody.

You have to realize something and its true for Azure, AWS and Google (practical experience):

You have to pay for your support and its not cheap.

Its a good thing on one side: You get yourself a cheaper selfservice solution and you can use a ton of stuff until you really need support.
Its a bad thing as you haven't thought about this and support costs money.

Big company with Support contract with Google: Its awesome. Srsly. You get an answer in the next 4h, they will experiment, they will talk to the product teams, they will keep you posted etc.
> For all the crap that religions get for believing in nonsense

Curiously, Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons) have taught for over a century that essentially the Big Bang theory is incorrect and that matter has always existed and that when the Earth was created God simply "organized" existing matter rather than conjuring something out of nothing.

Putting aside their other beliefs I thought this was an interesting curiosity in this context.
> Hosting live video in a scalable way is a much harder challenge than

Totally. It requires figuring out and setting up arcane software such as Darwin Streaming Server, or Nimble Streamer, something like Quicktime Broadcaster, and Apache2, and also requires massive hardware resources, like a server for broadcasting, a server for shooting, and a webserver... that could be anywhere from one to two entire machines. That the WWW works at all is somewhat of a miracle. What webdevs do is more like brain surgery than anything else. ><

Oh I forget about the ultra ones.

I found a few instance types when I went looking, but their interface does not make it easy to figure out which ones are premium eligible, but I do remember the price going up not-insignificantly for a premium capable machine, which feels about like double-dipping if you’re also paying extra for the SSD.

IBM missed the 21st century turn, and buying Red Hat will probably not save everything [1].

Mainframes are just too expensive, even with open-source software running from the Canonical or Red Hat ecosystem. You just can't keep billing CPU consumption and sell memory sticks like it's made of diamonds. Running heavy "modern" workloads will give you a crazy stupid high R4HA MSU bills ... the clash between the relatively cheap commodity hardware philosophy of the last 10 years and the IBM way of billing high-end things is too big.

I would say mainframes are still really good at handling an ultra large bus with sky-high bandwidth but that's pretty much it. The power platform is a lot cheaper and also good at that.

Post-hoc: I'd say that it's easier to communicate between 3 people than between 100. And, so, it's more likely that 3 people will be able to maintain a system where they each have a pretty clear understanding of the whole thing.

I would not have predicted D would be better than Rust in any measure if those are the number of maintainers.

I'd guess that the larger team must be able to do more. "Faster alone, further together".
Currently running KeePassX. Maybe I'll give this a whirl. The key concept with the KeePass family of projects is that your passwords remain on your device, and don't get synced to some cloud you have no control over.
This article starts out talking about Linux address space layout. I've heard Solaris sometimes allocated userspace pages in the upper half of 64-bit address spaces. I'm guessing that by this point, it's too baked into Linux to change.

But, if you ever find yourself writing an OS, consider running userspace as much as possible near the top of a 64-bit address space. When the first 13 bits of a 64-bit pointer are set, a pointer interpreted as an IEEE-754 double comes out as NaN. The NaNboxing an NuNboxing tricks used by many dynamically typed programming languages become no-ops if all of your userspace pages are in the top 2 petabytes of the address space.
The situation with Belarus (as it is in almost every dictatorship), that both death statistics and infection are highly unreliable. Belarus might have actually acquired herd immunity, but then the death rate must be much, much higher than claimed by their government. Bishkek, in Kyrgyzstan also seem to be in a stable equilibrium, but they still have restriction measures.

Sweden is a master manipulator with their stats. Look at their daily death graph, which does not in any way resemble the daily infection graph. They seem to have small second wave right now BTW.

They may have herd immunity, and there is nothing embarrassing about this term. What is more interesting though, is how Finland in Norway have actually almost zero deaths these days, yet nowhere near the seroprevalence of Sweden.
your perspective is limited IMO, for example you have small tools like a save cleaner utility for The Sims3 , some person made this tool in Java in his free time and shared it for free with the community, why should this dev pay Apple.

There are people that make Visual novels,text based games and other indie stuff(without using Apple tools most are Python,Java or Web tech) for free or a few bucks, I think they would not pay the Apple tax and either not support Mac at all or link to some instructions to workaround this limits while it is possible.
Fiduciary duty does not mean "must make money at the expense of all other considerations".
No fiduciary duty justifies profit taking off of a mistake or mis-transaction. This is like saying that a hedge fund is justified keeping the proceeds of a check written to the wrong routing/account number. Nothing, and I mean nothing, fiduciary duty be damned, justifies undermining the implicit trust that underpins the banking and financial system. It's why there is such a thing as white collar crime in the first place.

Frankly, the entire chunk of money should be considered legally tainted until legal action is resolved; which means escrow it somewhere and unleash the lawyers.
I will do that, but beforehand, I want to do some research, this thread being part of that.

Also, I am sure I'm not the only person in the world that has struggled with this, that's why I asked for concrete examples of employment contracts that were written or changed to address this. Surely somebody has managed to get a decent clause drafted.
This is a good call - 'self evident' isn't the best wording. This was just meant as a statement that the component model is dominant in modern web development.

The rest though is not what I intended to get across. I've done it both ways, the inline way works better for the component model is what I'm saying. If a different model comes along in future, there may be a better approach and I may switch to that.

This isn't about there being one right way, just more appropriate ways for different paradigms.

fiduciary duty means sometimes not to burn all your bridges. Politics aside, Trump Inc. is blackballed by all but one or two banks due to such tactics.

Edit: And this is not $500 BILLION so you can say, F it, boom or bust, let's try it. The upside isn't that much, relatively speaking, considering the blacklisting downside. Even if Revlon doesn't pay, a large % is already banked or will be in bankruptcy proceedings so it's not a 100% loss.
There are very few boats that’s hit high scale production numbers. They are often custom, and the market is much smaller for higher priced boats. 12 is lower than I would have thought, sub 100 a year isn’t surprising.
I work in a bank and we have a team of people writing microservices on top of mainframe "programs". I'm not sure how it works in the mainframe because I work mostly on the front-end, but apparently what we are used to in modern REST apis are just called programs in the mainframe. Anyway, I digress, what we are experiencing is quite the opposite: operations written in the microservice run much faster and we are kind of bottlenecked by the mainframe.

I also recently came to learn that the mainframe run jobs in batches, so I'm not sure how does that affect performance, if it even does.

But it was not Revlon making the mistake.
It was Citibanks mistake. They are not indebted to Brigade Capital. Revlon is.

If your bank would pay back your full credit card balance by accident, you would expect it to be able to get the money back, wouldn't you?

If it had been Revlon making the mistake this would be a different story.
You can ensure it doesn't interpret a right-click as a left click by lifting the fingers on the left side before right-clicking, then it'll work every time. Or do like me and ditch the magic mouse, since it's insane that a mouse would force you to do that just to be able to right click with any consistency.
No the chances are very good you would get your money back. And it would be very bad if Citi did not get their money back - there is no advantage to a payment system that cannot undue obvious errors of this magnitude.

That is certainly a concern, though I am somewhat lacking in sympathy (with the economic cost to the supermarkets) given that I think this is a problem they have largely brought upon themselves.

People buy the newest stock they can get because the older stock on the shelves so often has a pathetic usable lifetime once taken home. When I was a child, we routinely did one family shop per week in my household. A few decades later, I consider myself lucky if vegetables I bought from a supermarket more than one or two days ago are still fit to eat, and in my household we probably average 2-3 large (but obviously not as large) shops per week if we're only using supermarkets. For these among other reasons, we often now prefer to shop locally for fresh food from the specialists nearby when we have enough time to do the rounds.

Clearly vegetables haven't radically changed; those I buy from local farm shops and the like still last just fine. But the supermarkets have now implemented such complicated logistics, presumably because it saves them money, that there have been horrible consequences for the quality and longevity of the produce they sell.

I don't know enough about the industry to fully understand the motivations behind those complicated logistics, but if it's just a race to the bottom to shave a little off the supply costs and increase the profit margin accordingly, maybe it's time our government stepped in to regulate in the interests of avoiding all of that food waste and perhaps other environmental costs.
Sure IBM System Z is a marvel to work with, and it tickles the fascination of an engineer to be able to hot swap CPU banks and memory banks from a live system without downtime! I have had my mind blown away doing exactly that with a test Z10 in 2008.

However, the big System Z is surrounded by a lot of marketing and sales people who only know how to hype the shit out of the world. You talk to them for 2 minutes, and they bring up Watson just like in the linked article. For no logical reason. It is a big percentage of your job to cut the bull shit if you are dealing with IBM, particularly the System Z crowd. Unfortunately.

As expensive it is. It might be a crown jewel of enterprise computing even in the modern era if the ecosystem around it evolves to modern practices and cut out the bullshitters.

I have run a few thousand Linux VMs under Z/VM (hypervisor) on the Z10 hardware, using specialty Z processors made for running Linux. It was lovely albeit being inaccessible to the masses.

If you are talking about the FIU pedestrian bridge, that was not a situation of slow building.

That project was to be a showpiece in FIU accelerated bridge construction (https://www.chronicle.com/article/engineer-connects-his-rese...).

I have not kept up with all the analysis(https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=459940) but IIRC the combination of the accelerated construction, the new concrete truss design as well as organizational changes that left key position unfilled were the major design factors.

There were also clear warning signs of the impending collapse that were ignored.

Human costs are complex. I used to work in a company that made tape robots. One customer did the math, hiring humans to change tapes was cheaper than buying a robot. Then he walked in one night and saw the kids in hockey gear, take the needed tape off the shelf, slap shot it to the "goalie" who put it in the drive. Which is why he was a customer even though human labor is cheaper.

This is no "law". It presumes that laborers cannot switch to a different employer, that there is a massive oversupply of laborers, and that laborers are completely interchangeable. I'll accept that in conditions like that, wages will be significantly depressed. But this is not a truth in general.

In fact, laborers have strong incentives to want more than a subsistence wage. So many laborers are going to take actions to counteract this, such as by learning skills and gaining education to differentiate themselves. Then they are in demand with a smaller supply.

There are lots of people who are making more than minimum wage as required by the laws in their country. So this is obviously untrue.
Hi all,

Thought the gamers in the HN crowd might be interested in this. I discussed how different TTK's make for very different feels in shooters like Halo and CoD, and how it's usually a bad sign when devs change TTK.
Did you see the COVID death graph of Sweden? It is laughable and is heavily manipulated. It does not in anyway resemble the daily infection graph and doctored to look like the peak happened in April, and as if it had long been past by the time Tegnell made his daily briefings in July. God knows when we'll see the deaths that happened in July on that graph.

I agree, although designing institutions for building doesn’t necessarily mean they can maintain what they built.

For example, in DC the subway system (Metro) is run by the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA). In recent years they’ve had a pretty poor safety and service record, which much hand wringing over how to fix the system. There are some financial challenges, some corruption, a good helping of standard union pathologies... but a lot of it is just that the system stopped growing a couple decades ago.

To hear the elders tell it, WMATA really figured out how to build in the mid twentieth century. As long as they were building stations and laying rail regularly, the system worked pretty well!

But then they finished and stayed finished for 20-30 years. Maintenance was under-funded. Power structures calcified, public accountability weakened, constituents took the system for granted.

When they tried to start building again, it was HARD. New stations have structural problems. Contractors fail to deliver. Corruption hits the papers.

And the safety and service levels stay low. They shut down for maintenance sprints that never seem to pay off... and then the pandemic shows up. So now ridership is way down, and the finances look worse, but at least they have more time to repair things..

I dunno where Metro goes next, TBH. I just wish it was efficient, reliable, safe and ubiquitous. Building institutions like that is hard.
