I'm used to that from Paradox and I'm fine with having to pay extra for more features and more options, but I would have hoped the basic game itself would have had a bit more game in it. I had fun with basic EU4 and basic CK2, until eventually I decided I wanted more, and paid for it. Basic Stallaris seemed to be devoid of any content. I mean, there were some events, some planets had an interesting resource, but it was nothing like the lively piece of history in action that EU4 and CK2 are.

But maybe it's gotten better since then. I tried it pretty early.

Hey andbberger,
Yeah, we're _definitely_ assuming that g is constant for all elevations :)

There's another thread on this comment page talking about why height is important. Please see this slide in our presentation illustrating it. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17FI-jrI9RWS3q7Ng44Yh...
Why do so many of these gravity thingies show up lately?

An easy calculation shows how low the storage potential is.

Lets take a weight of 500 tones of steel, which would be 63.29 cubic meters.

Now sink those 500 tonnes into a hole a 100 meters deep that would make a rather lowly 0.1362 MWh of storage.

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=500+*+1000+kilograms+*...

Not sure what the cost of digging a 100 meter hole where you can sink 63 cubic meters of steel in would be, specially since water management is needed too.

I am not convinced that it is worth it.
Super cool to see these sorts of tools. They're great for learning the kube API.

For production-y things however, some meta-config language that allows deterministic templateing would be a huge improvement. It allows you to make sweeping/uniform infrastructure changes from a single library or tool change.

Kubecfg is a good example of the basics one could implement [0] although it's examples aren't as fully fledged and organized as they could be.

"Built-in screen recording. Finally." -- lol.

Also important: Record with sound from your mic, your device or both.
Mmmm I’m not sure if that is always the case. Anecdote: I live in Australia (where probably the share of higher end devices is higher than other countries) and I’ve seen a trend where some Android apps that are made for the Australian market, are only available to higher end devices and listed as incompatible with everything else. In some extreme cases, they are also restricted to one single brand i.e. only latest generation, high-end Samsung models would be supported. I haven’t used Android for more than a year so I’m really struggling to remember what apps did that, if I remember I will reply to this comment later.
Subject to ridiculous restrictions, like an app only lasting 7 days before being disabled.
I agree it's better than nothing (iOS), but it's correct what OP wrote: important parts of Android are now as closed source as iOS.

I'm not sure what you mean. Subtyping is primarily used for polymorphism. A pretty common mistake is doing polymorphism at the wrong layer but not using polymorphism at all is also a mistake.
Whoops, sorry!
I’ve seen this play out with colleagues/listened to the griping - where the resentment comes in (in addition to the items already discussed) some of the self righteousness of the people with kids vs. non-kids “I really can’t be doing this weekly midnight call with Asia...I have kids” as if having kids was akin to solving world hunger and people without kids couldn’t possibly be doing something meaningful with their time
actually it does. That is why you need a full time statistician on staff (likely a department), they spend a lot of effort finding and accounting for confounding factors.
Haha, thanks. It's a little of both of course. You have to be a bit of a lunatic to think you can do these things. But someone's got to get it done.
This is the comment. This tech writer is fueling rage culture to get attention. Its a request, PR doing their job -- please call it by what we brand it... "DAMANDING." What a joke.

I hope the writer is also chucking his smartphone out the window and stops acting like a child on hipster Twitter because he can't get a job at a tech company.
Most of the things one does on a laptop - like media consumption, general browsing, etc. can be done on a smartphone. Why should you be forced to switch devices if all you want is the convenience of a monitor, keyboard, and a windowing environment?

It has nothing to do with the financial side of it, it's all about convergence and finally exposing the full capabilities a such a device. Today's smartphones run full desktop OS under the hood, but they are just artificially crippled behind a platform designed to deliver ads.

Whether you will use your smartphone or laptop/pc for a particular task should be a matter of whether the hardware setup (mobile vs. full desktop) can handle it or not, not if it's functionally possible at all.

This also means that people are still paying a higher price for it, but that price is just mixed in with the rest of their taxes.

To be clear, I'm in favor of governments taxing for the purpose of providing services of benefit to society. But having the government cover costs does not make those costs go away, it just shifts how people pay for them.
The Docs take Vue to a league of its own. I'd contend that no other JS ecosystem has docs that are as lucid, concise and beginner friendly as Vue's. This intro to VueX (Vue's state management library) is a good example: https://vuex.vuejs.org/
> If this is what it sounds like would it be like making a /path directory and defining it as a union of all the directories containing executables. almost like an efficient and idiomatic way to create a single directory containing symlinks to all of your executables.

That's basically it. Although 'defining' in this case really means 'binding directories into it.'

> How would it handle things like path precedence?

By ordering: first bind the main x86 binary directory into /bin, then bind your custom stuff ahead of it (or after it); as I recall, you could bind to the head or tail.
It does. Here is Maps + Location [0]. And here is Google Home + Mic [1]. I just picked 2 random google services that seemed like they would rely on location (Maps) and microphone (Home).

What’s to stop you using single file components in React?

Having everything in one file was the thing I didn’t like about Vue - constantly scrolling up and down the file between the methods and the template/styling got pretty annoying quickly.
This is awesome. It is so easy to make mistakes when configuring your k8s services
This is probably a joke, but it's not so crazy. Many designs are combining one or more of these.
Seconding this. My very basic understanding was that you propagate a wave with a frequency of the first integer, then overlay another wave of the next, and so on. As you go up, eventually the primes appear as the only place where they interfere with each other completely so the wave is at 0.

By that logic, your phone should be called a "microphone".

Ignore all the additional stuff it can do, it has a microphone, therefore it's OBVIOUSLY a passive listening device, ergo "microphone" /s

It's special in that it is a fundamental part of our society. It moves society forward, it brings forth new generations and brings meaning to our existence. How about we turn it around and say that people that choose not to procreate be penalized?

You argument doesn't work in that it can just as easily be applied the other way if we assume having kids is the default state. We could further argue that not having kids is an advantage, hence why should parents be penalized for not having made the same choice as those that didn't.
tfbvis: Visualizing TechEmpower benchmarks beyond requests per second
I think it’s fair to characterize the device as a (smart) microphone. Without that ability it wouldn’t be able to process people’s queries. Obviously AMZ wants to minimize the association with “mics” because it atunes people to that aspect of the device (ie in listening mode).
Well, in a way, yes, especially when using older hardware like the Thinkpad T42p I'm using right now. Go to the Wayback machine or Internet Archive, find a page from when the machine was made (2004) and compare its loading time to the current version. Now take a recent piece of hardware and load the current page and marvel at the fact that the old page on the old machine loads about as fast as the new page on the new machine. The old page looks dated, of course, but that is more a matter of the layout than it is of the lack of 'modern' technology. It would be possible to make the page look close to the way the modern version looks without incurring all that extra load time. Yes, this would probably entail server side rendering and some judicious use of older but still useful tricks like server side includes but it is certainly doable. It isn't being done because modern pages load fast enough on modern hardware and developers are incentivised to track the latest technologies to keep their market value up.
The first study you linked looked at 29518 people and that's how they controlled for comorbid illnesses:

> As a measure of comorbid illness at the start of the study, we created a dummy variable ‘comorbidity’ identifying women who have been treated with antidiabetic [Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC) A:10] or anticoagulant (ATC B:01) drugs or medications for cardiovascular disease (ATC C:01–C:10) for more than 1 month.

This is extremely simple, hardly careful controlling. If anything it's a good example of bad science. Grabbed whatever was easily available in the database and claims they've adequately controlled for comorbidity while doing no such thing.

If you look at the difference in exercise, income, education and BMI there's a LOT going on between the two groups. You'd wish scientists would include the raw data and source code to easily calculate the adjustments yourself.
Average internet speeds all over the world have slowed. Some broadband providers are feeling crushed by the heavy traffic.

>At this point what we call Android is about as closed source as Apple's iOS.

Meh. Load LineageOS or GrapheneOS onto a phone without Google Apps, you won't get the same map functionality or on-device voice-to-text. But it's still android and 100% open source.

It sucks they are adding cool stuff to the GApps side, but pretending like this makes the OS as closed-source as iOS is absurd.

Just like a Ring is a spycam in a doorbell. I feel shit passing these things when just walking the streets in my city, and look the other direction so the facial recognition that may or may not be there, does not catch me.

I dread the day that I find Amazon or Google or Apple super-microphones running in a friend's home, and I try to avoid controversial subjects in our conversation.. just in case.
Now imagine if the people working on the lower level stuff had the same attitude. Imagine if the codec implementations were slow because we need more features. Imagine if the graphics people never gave a damn about perf, just like the "programmers" you're talking about. Imagine if your database was the main perf hog in your system etc. etc. I'm sorry, but here's an unpopular opinion: those people are just not good engineers. The increments of software development should be abstractions, not features.
Operation Earnest Voice – An astroturfing campaign by the government of the US
Have you documented what you've built?

You mentioned that you don't have the hardware/space to do your research, have you looked into 3rd party solutions? Budgeted and planned future projects?

You do sound burnt out, maybe taking some holiday leave isn't a bad idea.
All it takes is one major "trust incident" and accompanying press coverage to destroy "brand loyalty". There are still too many folks who see these for what they are: remotely-controlled microphones. That is why Amazon is asking for the wording of the article to be changed. Otherwise why would they care, if the manifest destiny you describe is true. More likely, no one can be sure yet whose normative behaviour will prevail: those welcoming the microphones or those rejecting them. It is what it is: an internet-connected computer with the mic always on. Eventually the Jetsons novelty wears off. Imagine every product with an embedded computer connecting to the internet without any user intervention and having a built-in mic always listening, purporting to be "voice-operated".

One can only speculate as to what sort of incident would threaten brand loyalty; no one knows. All we know is there is some history of opposition to mass surveillance.
Thanks for the link.

I agree he has his own motivations etc. And was already taking his info with a pinch of salt.

It still looks to me like some of the major elements dont add up, like the release of info to the police, the dropping of the case in sweden, the lack of guarantee to not extrodite to the US. Could just be own biases but given the other information we have about the governments involved it seems most plauable that they are up to no good.

If they are all acting in good faith and this apparent abuse of power is a side effect of their secrecy then i think its just as damning of the overall processes and approach we take (unless we dont really qant an open democracy)
I can second using jsonnet and kubecfg for this. Not only you start out with some very useful abstraction from kube.libsonnet, but are also able to build your own abstractions easily, ones that are specific to you organization/codebase/release cycle. All from a declarative, lazily evaluated, pure language.
i2 FAST | UK | Ruby on Rails developer | Full-time | REMOTE | https://www.i2fast.com/

i2 FAST is a new food testing laboratory (launched 2019) that serves the food and allied industries.

We are in the process of creating a modern LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) to provide our clients with a platform to access and analyse their analytical results. The platforms also runs the internal operations for our laboratories.

We aim to be the UK's premier food testing lab and provide the most innovative web platform for our clients to use.

We're seeking to expand the development team and and want people to become core members of the team. Your role will be critical in helping drive the product forward.

We are looking for people who have had a few years of Rails experience - or experienced polygots who know some Ruby. From mid-level to senior developers.

Currently, the LIMS system runs the food laboratory at i2 FAST. Still, we need to develop it further, so it runs the whole i2 Analytical business, which is a much bigger sister company. Achieving this will require extensive development. We are only at the start of this journey.

The position will be primarily a remote role, but there will be occasions when the whole team gets together.

It will be quite a varied role as there will be many different types of projects to work on. Eventually, we will be creating mobile applications to support our customers out in the field (literally a field - they will record which soil samples they take). There will be opportunities to choose what kind of projects interest you. If you are interested in dealing with management and other laboratory staff to gather product requirements, then you could do that too.

Technologies we use:

Back-end: Ruby on Rails, Que Active Job, Heroku, Postgres, Dry-rb gems

Front-end: a mixure of Rails views (erb/haml) and React

Please email me at chris.richards@i2fast.com if you're interested!

Silly question: why do you need an alternative? All of Chef's software is OSS (licensed under the Apache 2 License).

CINC is the recent-ish community build of the code. It's literally a drop-in replacement as the only changes to Chef Client and other bits are branding. It's the CentOS to Chef's RHEL.
I think that you are missing a scenario: private (but not necessarily closed source) deployments of open source code.

Even if those deployments to AWS or other cloud environments are only for testing purposes as part of the normal development process of the open source code, there are still opportunities for secrets to leak, and would be even if the cloud platform itself were open source.
It is an interesting thought experiment. From what I've gathered, any intervention by the government to make housing more accessible, just gets priced in pretty quickly, removing the benefit.

It benefits home owners, which (at least in Canada) makes up the majority of the voting base. Like GP said, it's at the expense of the next generation of buyers.
My experience is more that there's always a bunch of tickets/bugs that are a) not critical b) not 5-minute fixes and c) tend to be "we should really..." - those are optimal, because they wouldn't get done otherwise anyway.

It’s a great time to refinance mortgage debt you already have. Whether it’s a great time to buy a house depends on the future demand for housing in the local area.

If you pay today’s price for a house in Palo Alto or condo in NYC and those areas fall in popularity, it could easily be a bad call.

If student loan debt was treated like any other debt then few if any students would get loans, unless their parents had assets to put up as collateral. So long as the financial burden of education falls on the student first then this is unlikely to change.

From a financial perspective it’s a terrible product to sell... tons of money to someone with little to no financial assets, iffy prospects of sufficient future income and no underlying assets that the bank can put a lien against in case of default. The problem is not the loans, it’s the whole higher education system that needs a total overhaul including the utility and price of higher education. The current system is based on the idea that many people’s parents encountered where a good summer job and maybe a bit of savings was more than enough to pay for a decent college degree!
The bad part of this is the wage variation. In Smalltown, USA, a programmer or network administrator might make $55k per year.

However, 90 minutes away in the largest city in the state, you have people making $75k to reset passwords or change backup tapes.

> If you want anything more than a static site, you‘ll need JavaScript. No way around it.

I’ve been noticing this kind of rebranding of what static means a lot. It seems to create lots of confusion (you can see it in this thread already).

Traditionally, “static” websites were websites without a server-side programming language backing them—sites whose content was unchanged by any users. Javascript, CSS, and HTML are the tools used to build static websites.

Today, some developers seem to use static to mean Javascriptless.

The term fits both situations pretty well, so I get why it happened. I don’t know if there’s a better less-ambiguous term used for either of these things now?! Non-database-backed?! Nonjavascript’d?
The biggest good side of Evan I think is that he stands out as a non doctrinaire among webdev stars, not claiming that this, and that pattern/paradigms is the biggest thing since sliced bread.

Projects driven by "biggest things since sliced bread" tend to vane very quickly after the initial excitement, and agiotage about its buzzword feature is gone.

Software Testing Lifecycle – 5-Min Guide
Over the past decade, the importance of the Software Testing Life Cycle, or STLC, has skyrocketed. Let's review the topic in detail.
Software Testing Life Cycle means a testing process which has specific steps to ensure that the quality goals have been met.
Why do you need a Software Testing Life Cycle?
The benefits of STLC are the following:
- direct project and team organization;
- quality assurance;
- predictable development process;
- quick bug detection.
Watch the video to learn about each stage of the STLC.
If so, can you articulate how it is "extremely low quality" compared to others songs in the same genre?
