> It is better to be efficient than polite. Better to be predictable than "nice".

I probably agree on the second, but I think the first is subject to what the definition of 'better' is. If someone has to give me, say, a bad evaluation of my performance, then the most efficient way for them to do it is to walk up, say "terrible performance" (and possibly list reasons), and leave—but I certainly don't feel, as the recipient of the news, that that is the best way for it to be delivered.
That's not a very meaningful distinction. Microsoft still gets their cut and till approves every title. An independent XBox store would remove Microsoft from the loop.

If Epic wins in court (and I hope they do), then the consoles are next in line to be forced open.
What is an artifact in this context?
Personal anecdote - I became very good at one activity early on in life. This was at the expense of other things such as education and a social life. The dedication required to reach a high level of skill, and the journey overall was great fun and taught me a lot about what it takes to reach the top.

What impact has this had on me? It opened a lot of doors for me early on. Ultimately I faced a decision, do I pursue a single thing to its sharpest point, or do I widen my range and create my own category to become sharp in?

There is something deeply rewarding in being a master of one trade. But becoming a jack of all trades offers a different kind of reward which I feel is more sustainable (at least in my case).

I have a deep affinity towards people who have pushed the boundaries in some area of their life, and feel very lucky to have experienced the same.

Which path would I pick? Jack of all.

Defense in Depth
Who ever said anything about selfishness?

The worst trolls are the ones with ideology, who believe themselves to be working on behalf of a greater power. To take a relatively innocent example: Tesla Trolls will harass, dox, and even SWAT "Tesla Shorts", in defense of their beloved company.

So lets circle back again: Why are these Tesla trolls trolling the internet? Because they're fighting to support their company, and it seems to be an effective tactic for intimidating and silencing critics.

Same things happen with Apple Fanboys, XBox fanboys, etc. etc. Trolls "fight" on behalf of the powers they've given their allegiance to. And of course, Democrats and Republicans are big ones too... but also subgroups: Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Proud Boys, etc. etc. They all have trolls, they all will harass and demean you if you disagree with them online.

Any "serious" internet discussion will devolve into troll tactics these days. Why? Because its effective. Apple vs Epic Games is just the latest bit, and we're certainly going to see internet trolls start to weaponize forums to bring people to their side.
I watched this demo and noticed that the major advantage the AI pilot had was that it had near perfect gunnery. The human pilot had superior BFM and would have blown the AI out of the air if he had the reaction time for an instantaneous gun solution like the AI. A semi-autonomous mode where a half action trigger automatically maneuvers into a gun solution for the human pilot would have won him the match handily.
Sigh. Various comments already pointing out console vendors also take a cut from physical game sales.

I don't know where the "especially iPads" comes from - they are the only ones that could come even close to not being called a watch or a phone. What else apart from iPads are you talking about?
Forgive my unfamiliarity. From the article

>We’ve been getting questions from customers and the community regarding container image layers. We are not counting image layers as part of the pull rate limits. Because we are limiting on manifest requests,

> For example, roughly 30% of all downloads on Hub come from only 1% of our anonymous users.

The limits appear to be 100 pulls per 6 hour time frame per ip address for anon users and twice as much for authenticated users. The least favorable reading of this is to assume a rolling period so lets roll with that. Pun intended.

According to docker whom I imagine is in a better position to evaluate the situation this will impact almost no users. Logically properly caching downloads seems like it would improve local performance. Do you really need, given the possibility to cache downloads, to pull a new image every 1.8 minutes in environments where paying $5 a month for individuals or $25 a month for a team would be prohibitive?

I'm going to assume that orgs manage a variety of one off and recurring expenses. I don't see how this is any different.

What I think is the most salient point is that docker is not a new endeavor. They already have many users. Acquiring new people who consume resources and pay nothing isn't a valuable proposition for them. Why would it be? Do you wish you had more roommates living with you eating your food and paying nothing towards the rent?

A bit over decade ago when I started running (& cycling) hardcore I had some knee pain and started taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin supplements for it. It seemed to work, maybe it was placebo effect, but regardless I was "sold" on it. A year or so later I started getting hives all over my body. I was (and am) quite healthy, and coupled with the fact that I'm not really allergic to anything this took me by surprise. It got bad enough that I had allergy panels done, which unfortunately came back with allergies to all sorts of things and the docs put me on anti-allergy medication (Zyrtec, along with stronger Rx only stuff). I was quite discouraged, esp when the docs told me that one can become allergic to anything at any point in one's life, and I was slowly starting to accept it. The Zyrtec seemed to help, not 100%, and I didn't seem to have to take it regularly, so it wasn't the end of the world. Then, at one point I took a 10 day trip and didn't take my supplements with me. The hives went away. Thru the process of elimination I traced it down to the Glucosamine & Chondroitin supplement. It's probably been a decade since I've been back to my normal, non-allergic self. I still take Glucosamine & Chondroitin supplements for a period of time at a time, but am keenly aware of not letting things build up to toxic levels after this lesson learned.

First Covid-19 reinfection documented in Hong Kong
Microsoft seems to be doing everything they can to push everyone to writing platform agnostic software:

1. Game streaming, which opens the doors to app streaming

2. Progressive Web Apps, teaming with google to create a tool to publish them directly to the Android Play Store

3. At one point, they created tools to port iOS and Android apps to windows mobile

4. Investing in React Native and Xamarin

Personally, I am not a fan since today, the quality of these apps are really bad and give developers too much power. But seems Microsoft is trying to get a foothold to relaunch Windows Mobile again once more apps switch over
Just work in a couple of prominent research labs, like I did. You'll be quickly disabused of the notion that you're in any way "extraordinary". At best you can say that you know more than other people in your particular niche. But then you have to concede that other people know more than you do in their niche. There are, however, real freaks out there who know more than you in any niche they decide they need to know something in. What takes you year takes them hours. What takes you hours takes no effort at all - it's immediately obvious. Some of them are humble about this, some aren't humble at all. It can be fascinating or demoralizing, depending on how attached you are to the false notion of your "extraordinarity". Unfortunately for humanity there are only very few of such people. I can't help but think that this is how human mind is supposed to be, and the rest of us are just deficient.
Surprised to see Docker-in-Docker mentioned so deeply down here. It’s an extremely valid way of doing things, and non-trivial to implement a caching layer for.
I know a handful of people who needed time off to recover from burnout - it ranged between 8 weeks to 2 years - depending on if they could convince their Doctor to officially recognise it for government support.

I wouldn't call C untyped because implicit conversions happen all the times. It's just that it assumes that since you declare your variables with a type, when you assign them, you know what is going to happen.

Kinda... It doesn't support caching layers for example which makes it very different in practice.
A website just for that. Just to get a point across.
Even if you do use a CSS-in-JS solution, which i'm not a fan of but have used in a few projects, they still don't do "hover in js"!

All they are are just fancy wrappers around putting more or less the same straight up CSS into the page. So you still use :hover or :active or whatever to do the appearance states in straight up css.

I still fail to see how React encourages adding event handlers to add hover appearances. A developer who thinks that's what to do with React was going to fuck that up with any technology.
> The thing is, there are 3 companies that control the future of datacenter growth. Amazon, Microsoft and Google.

The are big players in Internet business, but they are not big enough consumers to benefit economically from owning chips. Even if they will be all combined, they will not be even a double digit of top tier Xeon buyers.

And this is partly the reason why AMD was so keen on playing ball with them. AMD among other things was making a proprietary CPU for Amazon, which the later discarded. It was later rebranded Seattle, and thrown on the open market.

>>ARM/RISCV/x86/GPU/TPU/storage ... those are just configuration options.

But ISA still matters. Switching from Intel to AMD likely isn't much of a switch, but switching to a different ISA in the datacenter will continue to be an uphill battle.

As the article notes, the uphill battle will take longer for RISC-V and if Nvidia follows the strategy laid out they hope to profit in the intervening gap.
No. But having the same software distribution monopoly on their device which Epic is challenging seems hypocritical to me.

The current generation of video games consoles are all x86-based systems with Radeon graphics, USB, Bluetooth, HDMI out, etc - they're basically full-on desktop class PCs with a few minor changes and a lot of lockdown. One of the big console hacking groups even managed to get the Linux versions of Steam and Portal 2 running on the PS4, with some slight hacks to the graphics drivers to deal with the slightly modified GPU.
Hey! I’m the author. Biotech is not as well comp’ed, especially when you compare years of experience. For context, senior (Director, VP) levels make low to mid 200s, PhDs with work experience make mid 100s, and straight out of grad school make 80-120s

This doesn’t take into account equity, which most bio hires have zero context for and are easily taken advantage of when negotiating. I give equity packages in line with tech standards, but I could have cut them by 3-5X and still been competitive with the standard bio co.

We use it for artifactory to support scala services. S3 based solutions aren't as good, though jfrog isn't without its faults.
If we are reached herd immunity, why we have even more new cases than ever?. Herd immunity means that disease is unable to spread anymore, we can see that this is clearly not happening. Anybody can see this.

What we are seeing in reality is a patched distribution or a model in mosaic, a case studied in ecology. Models predict in this case an infinite cycle of conquest and retreat that fits much better.
If X is built on top of Y, and I should generally be using X, then the docs for Y should absolutely say that. Burying that away in some hard-to-find tutorial is not good practice. We could argue for a while over the exact semantic meaning of 'deprecate' and whether Y is truly deprecated if 99% of the time when you use it you should really be using X instead. But I'd hope that we can both agree on the central point of my argument here, which is that in Unity it's often incredibly difficult to figure out which of 5 vaguely-similar-looking APIs you should be using, and it's a bad sign when the best source of info is a "coming soon!" message on an out-of-date tutorial not even linked from the documentation.

Perhaps you should explain how I've misunderstood GetComponent.

So ISAs are patentable? Even if you reimplement them from scratch, it's covered? Can anyone ELI5 that in the light of the Oracle vs Google "APIs are not copyrightable" battle? Seems like an ISA (sans implementation) is comparable to an API, so is the difference patents versus copyright? Are APIs patentable?

I keep seeing "both sides". This whole schema seems to be based on the faulty assumption that there are only two sides.

In the last US Presidential election, nearly half of eligible voters didn't vote for either of the 2 major party candidates. This is mainly due to turnout being only 56%.

IMO political discourse would be much improved if "both sides" simply stopped talking altogether, allowing other people and views to have adequate representation for once.

Exactly. People are rediscovering that async conversation is more efficient and respectful of time than synchronous chat. There are very few work circumstances where chat is more efficient (e.g. incident response).

We avoid slack at the place I work for this reason - email, public boards and other async methods work fine for managers and makers.
This is nowhere near a common practice (I've never seen it on any work project, or on community projects). React does not promote or advocate or make it easier to do it this way, rather than the proper way in CSS.

That’s even more ambiguous than “artifact”. If someone asks me for build output, I would typically think about the console logs.
I hope they had the foresight to preserve the memories of these people for future generations. I suspect many of these people were born in the 1920s or earlier, so very few would have been left even 10 years ago; today, I'd be surprised if even a single one remained.
Anything your build server produces that you want to serve or archive. Binaries, packages, test results, etc.
They’re all incorporated in Delaware not Palo Alto
A library. If you're familiar with pip or npm or the like, you've probably used public repositories. npmjs.org hosts all the free and open source node libraries. But a big org might have a loads of closed and proprietary libraries they need to share and version among multiple development teams or partners. A product like artefactory hosts those kind of libraries for multiple languages and is compatible with the popular package managers.

It's also like a local cache of public repos. That means faster builds, some level of quality control (ie black or white list of safe libraries) as well as protection against things like the leftpad fiasco or 2016.
Those game systems allows purchasing from physical stores. Does Apple allow that?

I don't entirely disagree, but haven't there also been cases of experimental results being invalidated due to subtle mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc complications with the test equipment, when none of the people involved in the experiment were experts in those fields?

I think that, while we could use a bit more training in software engineering best-practices in the science, the thesis is still that science is hard and we need real replication of everything before reaching important conclusions, and over-focusing on one specific type of errors isn't all that helpful.

I know two fresh PhDs from two different schools whose favorite language is fortran. I think it's rather different from cobol in that way -- yes, the old stuff still works, but newer code cuts down on the boilerplate and is much more readable. And yeah, the ability to link to 50 year-old battle-tested code is quite a feature.
I remember feeling particularly inadequate when watching Google IO presentations in 2018. All these teams of highly payed engineers presenting the work of a year or more within a few days. Not a healthy thing to compare oneself to.
There's definitely a magic number there for people who are used to being productive/creative at work. Finding the proper length for a hiatus where you feel refreshed and ready to work again without the burnout, but not so long that you become depressed/lazy/restless is tough. Especially so if it takes a while to find the next job after said hiatus the restlessness and depression can set despite the planning.

I have a comment on this topic, is it okay if I share?
Agreed about the regular local (in my case Czech Republic) used book shops - they are kinda like antiquities and totally different atmosphere. They also seems to buy & sell old and somehow interesting books - if you just want to sell a recently released novel or some text books good luck. As far as I can tell Book Off does not make such a distinctions.

Anyway, as a result there is really not a good place where to sell newer less interesting books to other people - there are some online Ebay like sites & I've heard people buy & sell used books over Facebook. Still far cry from basically going to a nearest Book Off with bags of books to sell (at least that's how I imagine it to work when you sell books to them ;-) ).

Maybe that could be something that would make it work here as well. It really seems like there is a complete "circle" for books in Japan but not here & Book Off seems to be a big part of that.
Or, it allows you avoid just selecting the people best able to game your admissions process.
The friend this happened to is not white/western.

However, I did find it very strange and even a bit sad, that almost all posters at Uniqlo featured white/western models, inside their flagship store in Tokyo.
In this case, the difference is that I already have buy-in for the people receiving these emails (volunteers who have worked for me before). If it was a cold email, it would be a softer lead for sure.
