>The datacenter is a 3 legged stool, and the remaining missing piece is a CPU. AMD, Intel, and various hyperscalers are also working to build out their own 3-legged stool.

Intel/AMD is allowed to build a moat in data center but Nvidia can't(?)

>Nvidia’s endgame isn’t more revenue from licensing costs. Their endgame is a fully vertically integrated data center provider. They will want to make and control every part of the three legged stool. This means they slowly destroy the idea of Neoverse. Whether through making that IP extremely costly, or having their own in house designs be a generation ahead, Nvidia will build a moat around Arm server CPUs. Over time, Jensen Huang will muscle out other Arm vendors

Intel doesn't even licensed out x86. AMD is grandfathered in. So Intel is allowed to control x86 but Nvidia can't. this is like Oracle bought MySQL along with Sun and Michael Widenius cry about it. You know what you are doing when you sold MySql to Sun. another company can come along to buy it. this is what closed ecosystem/software does. MySql is saved by dual licenses so maybe its time to ditch this idea of building an ecosystem on closed hardware/software.
I had no idea there was a Canadian Digital Service - I'm glad to hear that it not only exists but that it's a relatively efficient government organization.

I was disappointed to see this page, which asks for personal information including your PHN, served over HTTP.

Not only that but there is actually a disclaimer saying it's fine to ignore the big red padlock because the iframe uses HTTPS (which is also technically not true as far as I can tell - the iframe _redirects_ to HTTPS though).

I see it as a sort of staking mechanism. Someone is pre-committed to and zealous enough about this thing that they're paying $X/yr to leave up their memo on a dedicated domain.
Also she was conducting "interviews" with us to assess better what was and what wasn't R&D in our tasks, so once in a while we would spend an hour not doing any productive work.

Yes post-thesis are more valuable, including to other countries. I think it is an incentive to the employer so they can increase the compensation in order to limit brain drain.
Not necessarily the case. The newer xboxes don’t come with removable media and the bought keys are tied to your Microsoft account.

The whole thing is slippery mass of corporate worms trying to fuck each other over for market control and the only losers are the end users. I want nothing to do with any of them any more.

> There aren't as many uber successful people out there as the internet makes it seem.

I live in a city with two elite universities (guess which one). They're literally all around me.

Getting into either of those is my definition of "uber successful", with many of them being more successful at 17 than I'll ever be in my life!
I'm not sure that Microsoft sees it that way. The direction they're going with XCloud and XBox Game Pass seems to me that they're interested in strongly diversifying on software as a service while selling XBox hardware as commodity priced entrypoints into their software ecosystem. The only reason XCloud isn't launching on iOS is because Apple denied it, not for Microsoft's lack of trying.
The article starts off with the proposal of “Racial Themed Engagement Communities” as place that people of a group can use as a safe space which doesn’t sound far fetched. It then magically jumps on to a 2002 “race based housing proposal” that from what I call tell wasn’t approved and uses that as the title of the article. If they are trying to make a point other than a sensationalised article I don’t get it.
The gold standard for a scientific finding is not whether an particular experiment can be repeated, it is whether a different experiment can confirm the finding.

The idea is that you have learned something about how the universe works. Which means that the details of your experiment should not change what you find... assuming it's a true finding.

Concerns about software quality in science are primarily about avoiding experimental error at the time of publication, not the durability of the results. If you did the experiment correctly, it doesn't matter if your code can run 10 years later. Someone else can run their own experiment, write their own code, and find the same thing you did.

And if you did the experiment incorrectly, it also doesn't matter if you can run your code 10 years later; running wrong code a decade later does not tell you what the right answer is. Again--conducting new research to explore the same phenomenon would be better.

When it comes to hardware, we get this. Could you pick up a PCR machine that's been sitting in a basement for 10 years and get it running to confirm a finding from a decade ago? The real question is, why would you bother? There are plenty of new PCR machines available today, that work even better.

And it's the same for custom hardware. We use all sorts of different telescopes to look at Jupiter. Unless the telescope is broken, it looks the same in all of them. Software is also a tool for scientific observation and experimentation. Like a telescope, the thing that really matters is whether it gives a clear view of nature at the time we look through it.

> Second, why are profitable opportunities for investment lacking?

Because the economy isn't growing much? And this may be because productivity kind of plateaued due to lack of automation: most growth we've ever had came from automation, windmills, steam machines, robotized factories, etc. But now that the biggest part of Western economies is services, we're kind of stuck because automation in services is way less efficient than what we got in agriculture and manufacturing.

People are often afraid that IA would cause too much automation and destroy jobs, but in fact I believe that we (and Capitalism) are now suffering from too little automation (and I don't expect things to change soon unfortunately because AI is far from advancing fast enough for what's needed).
There are many sides. I used “both sides” as a minimum. All sides should have their points listed and acknowledged.

You're misinformed.

Microsoft receives a fee from developers that participate in their licensing program, which is generally a royalty on each sale ranging from 1% to 30% depending on the negotiating leverage of the publisher.

Developers are not required to participate in that program to sell games/software for the xBox, and some don't, but MS doesn't guarantee that any unlicensed software will work with the current version of the system or any (software) updates to the system.

The same is true of Sony as well.

"...I have a really hard time taking them seriously for UI-driven application development."

It's been a long time since I've done serious UI work, so am not aware of the latest grievances.

But it'd be great if stock UI frameworks were more like game (simulation) engines. Scene graphs, composition, event loops, command objects, etc.

Just like sufficiently complex C programs become buggy implementations of LISP, interesting UIs eventually recreate a poorly conceived and terribly implemented simulation engine.

Ugh, I don't envy their position. There are many ways to reduce the size of a docker image. I'm guilty too. Probably the best thing to do is leverage multi-stage builds. Those have the largest effect on repo size. (Like a 10x reduction often).

The problem is, docker, the company behind the repo, has no control over what Open Source Joe and Developer Suzy are committing and the other developers pulling down their images. They can send out all these notices and announcements, and I think the typical reach of such things probably gets like what, %0.05 percent of the developers it needs to?

And of those, are any willing to rewrite the image to be smaller?

You can interrupt my channels with a three paragraph problem description any time. I'll gladly take that over "the thing doesn't work."
Yet, it's commonplace.
I mean, it's not that bad. Delivery is an important part of many restaurants (pizza, jimmy johns (sandwiches), chinese in many cities). The issue in my mind is those restaurants with hugh delivery volume can do multiple deliveries in a single run, and can time the completion of the food to the return of the driver, so the food doesn't spend a lot of time sitting at the restaurant, and neither does the driver.

It's very hard to do that when you're aggregating restaurants and drivers.
I see. It is racist to say things like, "We should encourage black parents to not beat their kids so much." And yet as articles like https://www.apa.org/pi/families/resources/newsletter/2017/04... point out, that happens to be a very real problem. And so we refuse to even discuss the very interventions that are most likely to have the biggest impact.

On the school funding gap, I'm all for fixing it. That's one of the root causes behind why black boys are under half as likely to meet state reading standards in California as white ones. It isn't the only one - black kids are already substantially behind before they enter school - but it sure needs fixing.

But along with that, let's not lie to ourselves about the consequences of the current situation. A black high school graduate is half as likely to have actually learned what they were supposed to as a white. A business should be able to hire high school students but require a literacy test. The fact that blacks are half as likely to pass said test should be viewed as a judgment on our school system, and not blacks.

But in our legal system, businesses who try that are likely to be sued and are likely to lose the lawsuit. (Many have.) Because insisting that your employees can read and write is considered racial discrimination.

So businesses instead require a college degree and don't have a literacy test. The result is that businesses get literate employments, they hire fewer blacks than they otherwise would have, and now there is more demand for college degrees. Which helps cause tuition to go up, and saddles young people with debt. Which means that everyone loses.

In short I support creating results. Not mandating them. What it takes to create results sounds shocking because those ideas have been off the table for discussion for decades. And likewise discussing the failures of the current system is also off the table.
I'm using in my current projects PD boards from Ebay, so I could be interested. Ebay boards are programmable using a single button on the board itself and are less expensive. This one is very cool but IMHO has two weak points:
1. "The board has a sensor which reads your desired configuration from the light pulses generated on this page and stores them on the onboard NVM". What if the company go out of market ? How can a customer reprogram his boards without website?
2. Is that secure ? What if a malicious actor reverse the website logic going around reprogramming the boards to provide max voltage ? It should have a safe button but, at that point, could be convenient to use directly that button to change configuration.
Yup. Lay out the whole problem so that it can be addressed in the next message and the whole thing can be done. I try to approach slack as less instant messaging, more email writing with better history.
Any notes :) or resources on note-taking you can share? I am currently studying and have been struggling in that area.
Microsoft also negotiates with publishers/developers, so it's not a flat rate. MS (and Sony) let the market decide what their royalty is for every sale, and that's what anti trust laws want.

> In another post, I make a case for never, ever asking "are you there?" in Slack[0]. It's been popular for my friends who work on remote teams inside of larger non-remote companies.

Working in management, I hated this strategy so much.

1. if i reply and the other person then writes their question right away, a reply from me is expected immediately, as we already in a "conversation" (but I might have other things to do)

2. if i somehow don't see it or see it much later, some potentially important information or question did not get conveyed - and it could take equally long for the person to see my reply and finally write out what they want

At some point I had to turn off slack notifications completely as I couldn't get anything done without getting super distracted by them (to the point that I was feeling phantom vibrations from my phone) and anyone who asked if i was there would hit case 2. I did try to explain to people that this kind of question didn't really make sense but I guess many see slack is a social chat tool like any other where such practices are common - and not a tool to distribute information in a company to the relevant recipients in an informal and instant yet often asynchronous way.

> running wrong code a decade later does not tell you what the right answer is.

It can tell, however, exactly where the error lies (if the error is in software at all). Like a math teacher that can circle where the student made a mistake in an exam.
A variant on this problem was proposed to me years ago and I still try to follow the advice.

When you haven't talked to a person in a while (or ever), especially someone who is used to being asked for favors, they may become guarded and reticent if you open with small talk out of nowhere. They will sense the other shoe and be preoccupied with predicting when it will drop.

It's better, I'm told, to rip off the bandaid. To say something like, "Hey can I borrow your <tool I don't own>? It would really help me. How are the kids? Did you ever finish that shed you were working on?"

It's much less manipulative and open about what exactly is happening. And it's open-ended. You don't end up sabotaging yourself by interrupting halfway through their story about emergency visits to the orthodontist to ask about that tool, because you only allocated three minutes to pretending to be interested.
From Sorting Potatoes to the Terminal and Git
In addition to what others have said, I think Amazon's Elastic Container Registry is a huge threat to JFrog's prospects. Perhaps they need to IPO now to gain access to the deep pools of capital they'll require to face down the threat from Amazon. Or maybe this is one of those IPOs like SendGrid that is fairly quickly followed by an acquisition.
Best of all: it was (partially) a chosen plaintext attack!

> Admiral Nimitz had one critical advantage: US cryptanalysts had partially broken the Japanese Navy's JN-25b code. Since early 1942, the US had been decoding messages stating that there would soon be an operation at objective "AF". It was initially not known where "AF" was, but Commander Joseph Rochefort and his team at Station HYPO were able to confirm that it was Midway: Captain Wilfred Holmes devised a ruse of telling the base at Midway (by secure undersea cable) to broadcast an uncoded radio message stating that Midway's water purification system had broken down. Within 24 hours, the code breakers picked up a Japanese message that "AF was short on water". No Japanese radio operators who intercepted the message seemed concerned that the Americans were broadcasting uncoded that a major naval installation close to the Japanese threat ring was having a water shortage, which could have tipped off Japanese intelligence officers that it was a deliberate attempt at deception.
I think it's unfair that "mediocre" is seen as a bad word. We have so many things to do, I think it's perfectly good to be mediocre in many ways. We're competing on a global scale, it's impossible to be exceptional on many dimensions.

I'd like to encourage more people to be happy being mediocre.
