Kubernetes hype looks, feels and smells very similar to what was happening with OpenStack. Lavish conferences, every vendor out there announces "support for Kubernetes" in their products, evangelists and many many burnt engineers.
The UK university sector is the victim partly of its own short-term thinking and partly of successive governments blind to its strategic importance. The UK still has arguably the second best university system in the world, together with the huge advantage of being an English-speaking country. It therefore ought to be investing massively in its university and research sector. This is one of the few areas where the country can really punch above its weight globally (just think of the soft power implications of educating some of China's future elite). But in meek submission to bumbling, penny-pinching government oversight, UK universities have made a series of devil's bargains.

The end result? On the research side, UK academics expend almost as much effort documenting and evaluating each other's research output as they do on actual research. They work on topics that have 'impact' according to an official definition rather than topics that they are interested in. And when it comes to education, all but the most elite institutions compete for students simply by giving them everything they want. Slowly but surely, the universities are cannibalising their own credibility. In their efforts to please students, they are devaluing the very qualifications that those students are paying a lot of money to obtain.

It's not all bad. Good research still gets done. There are occasional brilliant and/or enthusiastic students who make teaching feel worthwhile. I'm sure that bitter academics and ex academics have been predicting the imminent implosion of the university system for decades or even centuries. But I do think that education in the UK has been radically reconceptualized in a way that's quite harmful. Classically, education is the transfer of knowledge from teacher to student. Humans being more than just passive epistemic vessels, the results of education can range from the mundane (Jane can now solve linear equations), to the efficacious (Bill gets a well paying job) or the profound (Tom is inspired to produce a great literary work). If you are really committed to education you respect the autonomy of your students and don't try to bring about any particular outcome directly. This approach is, of course, totally antithetical to the metrics-driven approach that has now taken over UK universities. The transfer of knowledge is regarded merely a means to an end, and is considered really important only if it increases student satisfaction and success on the job market. This makes the relation between teacher and student fundamentally manipulative and unhealthy.
Have a read at this. On this OP's opinion, which he's spoken to people close to the issue, Nvidia is purposely limiting stock and giving better cards to reviewers, in hopes they will be seen in a positive light, only to upcharge customers for lesser-quality models when the "stock" frees up in October.

Images hosted by NASA are available to make prints from. Tax dollars funded the images, so the images are made available to the public. If it is hosted from somewhere else where they took the data from NASA and did their own work on it, there could be copyright issues protecting their work. So, find all of the amazing images you like made available by NASA's, and then make your own posters!
The other choice would be to actually manufacture different product lines with different hardware, which would 1. increase costs, and 2. prevent the user from being able to upgrade via software, and have to buy completely new hardware. From a business, consumer, and environmental point of view, unlocking via software seems the superior solution.
I like that it works with Active Directory, so I don't need my developers to setup their own GitHub accounts to work.
Any thoughts on Sweden (and many other EU countries) saying masks have very little scientific evidence for the little benefit they supposedly offer. How can scientists in different countries have so different views. Some countries preach masks like holy water and they both say God (science) is on their side.
I think there used to be, before "off-the-shelf" RPC frameworks, service discovery, and the like were mature. There still are, for very small companies.

In 2020, if you have an eng count of >50: you use gRPC, some sort of service discovery solution (consul, envoy, whatever), and you basically never have to think about the costs of network hops. Opentracing is also pretty mature these days, although in my experience it's never been necessary when I can read the source of the services my code depends on.

Network boundaries are really useful for enforcing interface boundaries, because we should trust N>50 programmers to correctly-implement bounded contexts as much as we trust PG&E to maintain the power grid.

That being said, if you have a small, crack team, bounded contexts will take you all the way there and you don't need network boundaries to enforce them.
They can do whatever they want, of course. But don't kid yourself about the reasons.

If features are what they need, Khronos accepts any company as a member.
What if the future is all that is more practical
I was working at Facebook during the 2016 election and it was pretty unavoidable.

A big part of the problem was just that everyone was using Facebook for work all the time. So quite often, there would be some enormous thread arguing about whether X or Y was the right policy, was Trump violating the rules and should be kicked off Facebook, or was Facebook's anti-Trump policies violating freedom of speech, or was it racist for an employee to say they supported Trump during a meeting, etc etc.

And you use the same interface for important things like, announcing hey this database service team is launching a new API next week, could you provide feedback on it. Type X of hardware is being deprecated next quarter. So you really have to be checking Facebook-for-work consistently for professional reasons. You have to scroll past the political debates all the time.
Bazel is written in C++ and Java. The compile.sh (and the root of the repository) uses bash and probably a few other binaries. What are the issues exactly? Please file a bug if you have issues bootstrapping Bazel (it's not a need for most users, so the process might not be perfect).
That sounds just as silly as I imagine "Google it!" must have sounded to other people.

I will try telling others to "quack it" :-) Thank you!
Look at OpenSSL and Heartbleed. Nobody found it and it ended up being a catastrophe. It has since seen major industry investment. The problems have been mostly alleviated.
Facebook doesn't profit from divisiveness, they profit from engagement. The fact that divisive posts encourage more engagement tells me more about people in general, rather than Facebook's business model.

> Limit the spread of information in general in favor of content created by the people you follow

I don't think that's what people want from their social networks nowadays. FB, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, etc all do not work this way anymore. Suggesting that Facebook revert their app to what it was 10 years ago is not a serious suggestion because there are many other apps that will fill that void. If it's not FB, another app will take its place and give people the outrage they're looking for.

> Un-personalize advertising

Advertising plays a very small part in this. Most of what you would call "disinformation" is spread through reposts, which are not affected by advertising.

Sure, there might be some hostile actors out their spending money on pushing propaganda to the masses. But from my experience, people actively seek this nonsense out, the algorithms just make it easier for them to find it.

In my eyes, the real problem is that most people aren't equipped with the right tools to identify bullshit. Simple things like an inability to gauge scale. e.g. "9,000,000 gallons of oil has been spilled from pipelines in the last 10 years" Is that a lot? I have no idea, but what I can do is compare that against other forms of oil transportation. Most people won't do that work though, they will go straight to outrage.
Gruesome? I'd say possibly life saving :-)
For cloning, yes, git makes more sense.
These changes are for people who want to automate the Github end of it.
Personally, I don't see an immediate need yet, as I like using the UI (easier for my brain to remember).
The way Eternal's engine is described it could simply be an ECS with a more advanced job system for farming out work because it can parse how the various objects are updated and only do reads after all writes to the objects happen.
Well I think I do understand SOC2 :)

I am well aware of how controls are defined, it was only just an hour ago that I was reviewing our controls with the feedback from our auditor.
I'd guess location tracking (if you have an Android phone) with you stopped at a particular place for long enough.
They've already been running those numbers and they're available on CDC's website: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

We had a bad 4-6 weeks a couple months ago but we're already down in the range of a normal flu season as far as deaths go.
> the Rust game dev community is overly fixated on ECS.

Not just Rust. The game dev community everywhere is infatuated with ECS.

It's basically cargo culting. There is a large base of amateur or indie game developers who want to feel like they are doing game development the "right" way. One big aspect of that is performance. ECS has a reputation for efficiency (which is true, when used well in a context where your performance problems are related to caching), so you see a lot of game devs slavishly applying it to their code in hopes that the "go as fast as a AAA game" Gods will land on their runway and deliver the goods.

Every time I see a new ECS framework in JavaScript, I die a little on the inside.
I just tested a recursive descent parser and it fails a lot. Since I could only find one working-off-the-shelf software on short notice, I do not know whether the failures are the fault of the algorithm or the implementation. Though due to prior experience, I suspect it's the fault of the algorithm, and if that's the case, we should not use it to implement parsers. I would gladly test more recursive descent software if you could show me some and share a link.

Yes, you can take a 45 minute hike and reach there, there is no on site security anyway, only at the front gate. It's no way a workaround for driving there by car and carrying picnic supplies. Palo Alto residents can happily do that.
Dark Corners of Q
The case study was interesting. Those diagnosed in England get support from local government by covering cost of private school at £20k a year. Looking at the incentives, governments don't want lots of people diagnosed as it costs them. £20k is a huge amount of money in the UK, top universities (Oxbridge) cost around £10k a year. I could see why many would not get the support they need and go undiagnosed.
> They added that of those who tested positive, 24 exhibited symptoms and 104, or 81%, did not

Does that distinguish pre-symptomatic from true-asymptomatic? 100% testing is not enough without follow up testing for a while.
Dyslexic here. I don't know how universal it is, but I definitely was receiving eye tests in school before reading tests which lead to a misdiagnosis. I was only 6 or 7 so I don't remember if it was specifically astigmatism or some other eye condition, but I was misdiagnosed as having eye problems a year before I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia.
But the main idea with this is to avoid the pitfalls of conventional code generation such as GQL Code Generator. See "The Big Picture"[1] in the core docs.

Adding water channels as well were my thought. Just as air gaps allow moist air to exit wall cavities, external drain channels should prevent water from pooling and penetrating.

Presumably in an underground house, you'd want your roof to have a big air gap that could serve both purposes -- excess water removal and moist air exhaust. I believe many house foundations routinely add an external air+water drain/gap layer like this.
They allow ray tracing on older cards too, but it doesn't run well thanks to the lack of dedicated ray tracing hardware. This AI noise reduction probably runs a lot better on newer cards with tensor cores, whereas older cards could see this feature eating into game performance if you use it while playing.
I imagine it would be as un-spectacular as flying in a plane through clouds. Nothing to see. It would be that all the way to the point the camera melted and/or crushed.
Absolutely:

* Avoid network and JSON serialization overhead

* Perform larger refactorings or renamings without considering deployment staggering or API versioning

* testing locally is far easier

* Debugging in production is far easier

* Useful error stack traces are included for free

* Avoid (probable in my experience, at least in larger security software organizations) dependency on SecOps to make network changes to support a refactoring or introducing new components

If an organization is or will pursue a FedRAMP certification, as I understand it, that organization must propose and receive approval every time data may hit a network. Avoiding the network in that case may be the difference between a 50-line MR that's merged before lunch and a multi-week process involving multiple people.
The recent Firefox Android change ("upgrade") added "bookmark collections" whatever those are, so hopefully some work is being done on that front?
Everyone deserves to be paid for the fruits of their labour.
You can compile and add your own apps to your phone, using Xcode for free. You can distribute those apps to tens of thousands of people using TestFlight.

And apps helping you find other apps linked to the App Store, so wheres the competition?
Agreed, except maybe with an option to filter out the baby pictures. I never want to see those. Becoming a parent made me want to see them even less (my child is the best and the prettiest and that's all I need). :).
Ideally you'd deploy to a virtualenv in a container, recreating the virtualenv with each new image. You wouldn't update the system Python at all.
I distinctly remember during the 2012 election, my friends began posting political materials extensively. Which makes sense because of the Obama campaign's unprecedented spend on social media.

Pre-2012 Facebook was awesome. Now the feed is almost exclusively bullshit from people I don't know.
As others have pointed out, you need a water mgmt plan. You can't seal these kinds of problems away permanantly. The seal will last for a couple years until the water/moisture in contact will find a way through during temp cycling, or any other insignificant movement.

The sealant should be the last line of defense after channeling the water away, and keeping anything that can wick moisture away from the sealed surface.

But this isn't true, and your conclusion is false. It won't matter where you get calories if you need them: Calorie-dense, nutrient low foods can have a place in diet. Sometimes, folks just need calories (it used to be that some marathon runners loaded up on carbs before a race: I don't know if this is still true) And to be fair, I've lost weight - and kept it off - without eating meat. As have many, many others. Some of this is because nutrient-low foods don't make up a huge portion of my diet: Instead, it is beans and lentils and rice and a wide variety of vegetables with a bit of eggs and cheese and the occasional fake meat for textures and eating favorites.

The main reason folks lose weight on meat-heavy diets is because they tend to eat less and therefore eat fewer calories. But there is more than one path to eating fewer calories. Lentils and beans tend and some vegetables tend to be rich in fiber, which keep you full longer and tend to mean you eat less. Not to mention that a plate full of vegetables and beans tends to have fewer calories than a plate of meat - and hold a variety of nutrients as well.
It is also replacing humans most of the time as well, who are prone to making all sorts of errors. Worse, humans can make the same error twice even after being corrected.
It depends, but it means you don’t have to serialize/deserialize data, deal with slow connections, retries, network failures, circuit breakers etc
Good for them. I haven't worked at FB, but I can only assume they're similar to Google in this regard, maybe worse, since their workforce tends to be younger on average. Things were already getting pretty unbearable when I left Google years ago, and (according to people I know who still work there) have taken a turn for _much_ worse in 2016. When recruiters email, I politely decline, without specifying why, but this is largely why. I actually liked working there when it came to _work_, but the environment was extremely politicized and oppressive. No differences of opinion were tolerated at all. You'd immediately be ratted out to HR for a mere suggestion that someone is too aggressive/uncivil in enforcing the dogma on internal Google+.
It could build the case internally for them to build something like peertube or support it.
How tall are the basements?
My take is that you have taken a structured set of claims I wrote down, picked phrases I used in that structure, and rearranged them to say something I didn’t.
I used Firefox Send for deliverables on a commission. It was so easy. I could send updated versions and set a date for the download to expire to make sure both sides were on the current version. That was worth money. They could have charged for it.
At this point fusion is an elaborate high energy physics stimulus package.
RAND has produced some very high quality research over the course of its existence.

Unfortunately this study, if Fast Company's clickbait article bears at all on the actual research, is not part of that canon.

The phenomenon that the study talks about, rising productivity with stagnating wages for the great majority of people since about 1975, has been discussed at length in academic economics for at least the past decade.

In the early days, of course, there were the usual attempts to say "nothing to see here": faulty methodology (no), confounders (yes, mainly a bigger percentage of women in the workforce, but adjusted for), it's a business cycle effect and will correct itself, there's no such thing as income/it's too hard to measure precisely, but-but-but "stable income shares" is one of the great Kaldor's stylized facts, blah blah blah.

The objections got increasingly more feeble and desperate as time went on, you will note.

TLDR: RAND has discovered something everyone else has known for decades.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you have more specific feedback about the documentation? We can definitely make clearer the distinction between BUILD and WORKSPACE. Are there other concepts to clarify, or specific pages we should revamp?

Thanks!
Make that official them. Remove the BS "culture at FB" about being open and inclusive and your opinion matters stuff both internally and externally
I mean sure, you always need to start with a binary somewhere, but to put this into perspective... the binaries needed to bootstrap all the software on the distro I run on my laptop weigh in at about 60 MiB[0]. An x86_64 build of Bazel alone weighs in at about 27 MiB[1]. As someone who cares about source bootstrappability, that feels like sliding backwards.

I suppose you may be able to find a chain of older versions of Bazel starting with one that doesn't require Bazel itself to build, like the Guix devs did for Rust[2].

> This is a good reason to link to the actual publication source instead of to a PDF copy of the paper (unless you have good reason not to, such as a paywall).

It would still be best to include the date inside the artifact itself instead of relying on external and contextual metadata like you are describing. As long as we're at it, documents should also ideally include their DOI.
Where would I look of I wanted to follow geographicly diverse epidemiology news / publications / groups / individuals, not just covid related.

Yes those things can happen, however the car can allow the driver to go say 15 km/h faster, doesn't need to slow down at +0.01 above the limits.

Some people frequently go 30 km too fast... On 30 km roads in areas with children
Vita runs PSP games and PS1 games, so it's a strong library if you don't have a PSP already.
It also allows wireless providers to directly compete with cable for home internet access. It could also help in many rural areas that still lack cable.
I've actually always used Godaddy for searching and Namecheap for registering, simply because Godaddy's search interface is faster and more stable but Namecheap is great for not hassling you and way easier to configure. Fix the search Namecheap, and I will no longer use Godaddy again!
Yes, this is an extremely active area of research with lots of connections in the broader programming languages and formal methods communities. For the last decade or so, POPL has had a co-located workshop on proof, the programs of which would be a great place to see the current state of the art.

Masks May Do More Than We Think (With Dr. Monica Gandhi) [video]
If you want a minimal setup that does similar job with all encryption done in browser and absolute no plaintext, password send back to server, i just wrote https://www.relaysecret.com earlier this week. It is opensource, with minimal footprint on aws (1lambda, 1 gateway, 1 s3), deploy using terraform and should be very cheap to run.
It's a pet project so i limit the filesize to 30mb but you can change that easily if you roll your own. :)
user find bug, dev fix bug. happy path!
other path: dragons be here

The tree or tributary structure of software suggests that deeper, more fundamental, more general bugs will be revealed first and frequently. And logically will be fixed at the root, rather than hacking at the myriad leaves... right...?
> Zinn’s approach to history essentially inverted the traditional approach that placed the rich and powerful ... To tell history from the perspective of the oppressed and marginalized

The mirror image of Ayn Rand. I wonder if there is anyone at the intersection of their fandoms.
It's not that simple though. It's cheaper to engineer one chip that does everything then selectively disable certain features for lower end SKUs.

Going to the effort of making different hardware for the lower end SKUs that completely lacks these features would end up raising prices for consumers because it makes engineering and manufacturing more costly.

The other alternative is they just don't offer lower price SKUs and make everyone buy top-end parts.
For the past few hundred years until recently, we've been seeing bright and fuzzy dots. There's a difference between that, and ~640000 square pixels worth of details we see in the article.
