Simple explanation of what Cloud Native is or should be:

- Kubernetes is to the AWS/Azure/other platforms what Linux was to Unix circa 2000s. Kind of the same but with more choice with the original Unix vendors forced by competition to adopt Linux.

- Kubernetes and the ecosystem around it will make zero sense for you if you haven't adopted "devops culture" (meaning that at the very least devs care about operations and IT guys put their things in git) AND you use microservices or the very least more than ten different servies or replicas.

- Vendor spam is real. YAGNI most of the time. But also different strokes for different folks.

- If you think that many cloud native things are just classic open source software needlessly rewritten in Golang and overengineered - you are probably right.

The city really isn't severable from the burbs. Businesses based in the city create a lot money, but they are mostly staffed with people from the burbs.
There are currently 2 local factors:

- the Charlie Hebdo attack is currently on trial, and during the trial it was revealed that the weapons were sold by a police informant who had sent a report on the sale to his handlers, and that they did nothing. In particular the sale happened in a place chosen to give the police the option to either monitor or interrupt the sale.

- there is a current increase in the monitoring and criminalisation of muslim activities in France, my guess is that the police wanted to spy on someone and found out that the logs had not been kept.

I think time has shown that even the people whom the government supposedly exists to serve don't want it to do that. They actively seek to elect and support wannabe dictators, as long as they are dictating things that hurt people they don't like.

Infrastructure spending in Milwaukee is $70M/year, when fire department is $120M/year and police is $300M/year. That's where the real costs are, not where Strong Towns say they are.
Agree with all your points. The author has been in academia all his life so after 20 years or so, I can see how he can feel frustrated by it.

I think the general summary of what you're pointing out is that in industry it's easy to do things that the company wants to do (make money, make your boss look good, make life easier for the execs), and hard to do things that you want to do (cool stuff, disseminate ideas, and explore).

When you start at a company, you're optimistic and campaign to do a balance of both, but over time it wears you out so almost every defaults to doing the company work and fades out of public view. And yes, MSR is generally the exception but even then notice how many researchers there now do something related to "optimizing productivity".

No this isn't a study at all is the joke. We are developing/offer a database for health insurance (specifically the German Market) data, for non technical people to analyse the effectiveness of certain treatments etc. Or create certain cohorts for studies. The paper was an overview/introduction to It. while I'm proud to have written it, it's basically marketing/legitimation for our field. Another division of our company does actual data science, research and publication on these topics. We're in a weird middle ground as our ownership is all health insurances which makes us technically public service, but our work environment is far more tech oriented (and 20 years young on average).
Now you're talking in circles. @seattle_spring's theory is that people in the "boondocks" keep voting against infrastructure projects, even though "cities majorly subsidize rural living through taxes." Now you're saying that "most areas need federal funds to keep up with these expenses."

Is California rich enough to pay for its infrastructure projects by itself, or does it need money from other states to do it? If @seattle_spring is right and California doesn't need the money, then the Senate isn't holding anything up. California can proceed unilaterally. Maybe they can even vote for Republicans at the federal level, who won't make them continue to "subsidize rural living" in other states.

But if you're correct that California "need[s] federal funds to keep up with these expenses" then why shouldn't the rural states oppose it when it won't benefit them?

The reality is two-fold.

1) People in dense urban states aren't actually willing to spend this money, they just want to use these issues to get votes for Democrats. That's why they never actually build these things when they have to do it with their own money only.

2) Dense urban states want access to the Federal government's money printing machine. States cannot run structural deficits. But the rural urban states will be on the hook for that debt too.

> Make good hardware and sell it at a profit.

It really isn't that simple, and I wish people would stop acting like making ANY profit is enough to keep a business around.

First, making a profit isn't enough... you have to make more profit than the people investing money in the company could make elsewhere. If you make $1 for every $100 invested, and some other company can make $2 for every $100, why would anyone invest in the $1 maker? It isn't just about profit, it is about the opportunity cost of using capital on something that isn't as profitable as other capital uses.

Second, let's say the profit margins are actually pretty good, and you make a nice return on this quality hardware you make. However, if the quality actually is really good, what do you do after everyone who needs your product buys it? You either have to build in obsolescence, which everyone rightly hates, or you have to switch to making another product. That switch is expensive, and cuts into your profit margin... assuming your new product is even successful. This is a lot of risk.

What that risk means is that investors don't want to be left holding the bag when your product reaches market saturation and your pivot fails... which is going to make it harder to get investment.

Really, Sonos is a great example of what happens when you follow your instructions to "make a good product and sell it at a profit"... they did that for many years, and made money.... but now most people who want a speaker like Sonos makes already have them, and their growth has stopped. They can still make money on each speaker sold, but they are selling fewer of them. So they are trying to pivot to make money some other way, and it sounds like it might not be going great.

The only sustainable hardware business is to make and sell a huge amount of commodity hardware at small margins, and simply switch to the next thing once some OTHER company does the expensive research and experimentation to create the next thing people want to buy.
Yes I remember one of the most interesting examples I saw of this was with how actin and myosin gain motion in cells, there's enough stuff bashing around everywhere that the right chemical reactions cause them to take each step.

This[0] is the ESP32 module that I keep on hand. The seller doesn't list any information that would help with your simulations, but the photos can give you a rough idea of the physical size. Other than a bare ESP32 module[1] I don't think I've seen a physically smaller ESP32 board.

You can program these with the Arduino IDE, so they're quite easy to use and there are tons of libraries available for interfacing with sensors, etc.

What device are you on? I have an issue which only happens on Firefox on Mac where WebRender is disabled by default, causing massive drops in FPS. I think it works fine on Windows though.
Officially that’s true, but I’ve been running OSX since at least .8, and in practice it just does not honour the “I want all finder windows like this” ideal.
True, but these students were following an academic education, not "hacker university".
This does feel like a language of glyphs that can effectively communicate complexity, although, much like spark graphs, could obscure detail. But ultimately it seems like this could be powerful. Am I just acclimated to higher information density or is it really promising?
I'm not really seeing the issue here. If the requestor is a user of your services, you presumably have some kind of id for them (like email).

Given that this is not a new law (2018 it became active), you would hopefully have some list of tables with information on users. From there it's select * from tables where user=blah.

Deletion requests are where you'll normally have more issues, but it's best effort. Again, look at how Facebook handle this. They explicitly state that it will take 90 days for all backups to be rolled out, and this is totally fine.

And if you are a small service, the likelihood of you having large amounts of PII on people across multiple services is pretty low.

It's worth noting that IP addresses which can't be matched back to a user are not covered by GDPR, so unless you've been storing every IP from which a user's logged in, then you'll be fine.

But, the real solution here is to only store data for which you have a need, and get consent for the processing which your service requires. Sure, this is harder than the normal YOLO store all the things, but it's probably better both from a storage and liability point of view.

Also, your argument segues from running a business of noteworthy capacity (who may have a problem complying) to small businesses (who won't have the capacity, but also don't store enough data to have a problem complying).

And to be fair, GDPR was npt imposed by elites, it was demanded by an awful lot of consumers in Europe. Maybe you don't like that, but I personally think that breast-feeding mothers shouldn't be censored. So cultural differences are going to cause both of us problems.
This was an excellent read. Congrats to the team on getting their port of Xv6 up and running!

I had the opportunity to help with a project to port UNIX to a data general NOVA computer as an undergrad and the combination of "non toy" problems and results you can see is really fun. We didn't have to write the compiler though! That is an amazing part of this story too.

Given the availability of RISC-V descriptions and FPGA boards that will host it with memory, this sort of project should be within reach of anybody willing to invest about $150 in parts and a lot of labor. It would make for an interesting basis for a demo contest!
There is a strong appreciation for cinema that permeates the entire chain. From their programming of new AND old films, to their special events, to their creativity in presentation.

There’s a lot of little touches that really make a difference. As you wait in the theater for the show to start they play purpose-made 30 minute pre-rolls that relate to the film you’re about to watch. These can include videos that flesh-out or explain the lore of the story you’re about to watch, funny Youtube clips of home-made skits based around the film’s IP, or bizarre film-nerd deep cuts that you would never see unless you know the type of person who collects them (Turkish Spiderman comes to mind).

All of this replaces the teeth-grindingly irritating commercial reels that play in most theaters while you wait. The kind with shitty purpose-made “Hollywood Insider” trivia clips, or “unscramble the celebrity name” quizzes. The difference that it makes to not have to endure these while you wait for the movie is significantly more enjoyable.

Federal government is typically shelling out money for things like interstates, major bridges and major water works. They give practically nothing for local roads and sewers. Additionally, federal government money comes from the people's income taxes anyway, and if federal government didn't tax people so much, the state and local government could tax them more instead, to cover bigger share of the costs.
Absolutely - it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's a money-losing proposition for Samsung, you'd hope that someone, somewhere in their Accounting dept. might notice that as well...
I remember watching this interview segment with some retired cop from Baltimore - he's now using his time to advocate stricter rules on law enforcement, or something like that - he got fed up with what he saw during his time in BPD.

But, to the point: He drove the interviewer through the streets in Baltimore, and argued that it was close to impossible for any driver in Baltimore to simply drive down a street, without breaking some kind of law - or at the very least giving police probable cause for checking your vehicle.

Heh. It wasn't even the rest of my team - I'm the only one who cared enough to do anything about it :)

Per the post, I wanted to auto-reformat the entire codebase, as well as codemod the JS source to update it to more modern syntax (ES modules instead of AMD, `const/let` instead of `var`, shorthand object literals, etc). But, that would have left most of the codebase history showing that the last commit touching a line was "MARK REFORMATTED ALL THE THINGS".

Since I was rewriting the entire repo history to strip out all the junk files that were consuming space, which was going to create an entirely new alternate history anyway, I figured I might as well take advantage of the opportunity to redo all the source as well:

But what they do do are things like restrict audio and video APIs so that users can’t record the iTunes movies that they purchased.
> Infrastructure that can't be maintained because its costs were never accounted for.

I like that you used the phrase "accounted for". It implies in my mind that the politicians doling out the cash did not monitor how that cash was used.

In management-speak, it's the classic phrase "delegation without follow-up to abdictation"

I initially thought about it in terms of accountability "the lower levels should have wrote down their expenses, their decisions, and sent it upward for review" but then I thought "why would most people do that if the people at top aren't mandating the record-keeping, let alone looking at it?" The higher levels didn't attach real strings to the funds and only kept abreast of developments by looking at the end results. Which were positive and attractive, but camouflaged very real deficiencies in the system that produced it.

It's plain irresponsibility.
Not in the sense that you can de-anonymize people easily (though easier than you might think) but that it makes your traffic identifiable as Tor traffic, which can be worse than the anonymity benefits. VPNs (setup with WireGuard, possibly via Algo, though never a commercial provider) are a better choice for most users.
It's worth mention what this doesn't include - namely, audio recordings. Sonos should at least get credit for offering a microphone-free version of their products for users who don't want to an Amazon/Google/Apple listening device into their home. Definitely helped sway me into choosing Sonos when I was shopping for wireless speakers.
I saw a road in my neighborhood go from trenches along the road to full storm drains and sidewalks, for seemingly zero reason but to let the existing owners appraise their homes for $10k more. The trenches were fine in practice and never spilled over even in the worst storms. This suburb of 15 thousand people is currently millions of dollars in the hole doling out shortsighted handouts like this, and there are thousands of suburbs just like this one.
Of course not. Let's get back to work.
Other then impacting the human made reservoir (and roads and other structures) I don't know that it was a real problem at all (for the natural world), you may have a point.

The erosion was quite heavy though as the fires were followed by very heavy (and unusual) torrential rains. You could see the deep channels in the slopes and the roads were also covered with sediment. They had to bring in heavy machinery for that as well.

The area is recovering nicely now, it's grass with small saplings and I was up there this year and didn't really see any new erosion at all.
Students were a big reason I left. Why mentor and depend on children when you could instead lead a team of adults?
Yes, the interesting thing is that as humans we know:

1) There are things too complex to understand without brute computation

2) Complexity is unbounded

3) Our current method of calculation would require all the energy in the known universe to even calculate a human being’s wave function...
Infrastructure maintenance isn't the only way infrastructure is costed. Generally speaking infrastructure replacement is capex and not included in these budgets, and certainly infrastructure asset depreciation is not accounted for.

In the 2020-23 capital plan, $978M is budgeted for sewers and stormwater, $100M for roads, $30M for traffic and $31M for general infrastructure. This will mostly be funded by debt. https://www.nassaucountyny.gov/DocumentCenter/View/27186/202...

In your link, on page 2, $180M is spent on transportation and $397M on debt service.
I came from a non-tech background. With help of my friends and family, took my idea and made a mobile word game Word Hookup

Honest question: do you also want Kroger to be required to charge 20% more for Kroger cornflakes (Or to be prohibited from selling them at all)?

Because that’s the same thing, but without cellphones.
Do you think modern airlines would exist without the current regulations? If not why is now the time to deregulate? What changed?
It's best effort. No regulator is going to fine you massively if you miss some data in an edge case like this. Worst case scenario, they'll tell you to do better in future.

I do see your point though, the intersection with phishing attacks is not something I'd considered in the context of GDPR.

However, as long as you provide a way for users with an account to download their data, you're 90% of the way towards compliance.

Again, unless you are FB or Google, the regulators will cut you some slack (just look at the lack of bankruptcies caused by GDPR).
All they have to do is survive. They do not need to take over the world.

There are other boutique audio hardware companies that do not take such a data-heavy approach and they are doing fine. As I hinted in my other comment, Sennheiser or Klipsch are examples.

Does Bose demand this much access to you and your data just to sell you a new WaveRadio or whatever? They even have a dedicated retail presence to maintain!

That stock photo is terrible though.
new doesn't come before knowing what exists and why, and to understand the latter making it is important. as a teacher if you fail to understand you should probably spend some time to read more why people study what exists in school and college for the better part of their life.
Well, they also fulfilled the requirements for the credit (which was to get the raytracing program running bare-metal on their CPU), so if you want to be pedantic about them being in an academic course, then you should honour the original assignment requirements, right?
City budgets aren't the only balance sheets.

Counties, corporations, charters, port authorities, states. I couldn't guess at all the structures and financing schemes that have been concocted.

For instance, Port Authority of NY and NJ builds, owns, and operates a massive amount of infrastructure. Completely apart from NYC. The Port Authority in my own region is its own separate nominally democratic fiefdom with its own powers to raise taxes, fees, etc.
When I was a young lad, it was standard practice for many internet apps to work on the principle of local caching. You'd connect to the internet, refresh your local copy, disconnect, and then work from the local copy. NNTP worked this way, POP3 worked this way. There were even apps that grabbed the current news and stock prices in the brief minutes that you were connected.

It's a good model, and it would work well here, and for any circumstance when your connectivity is intermittent.
It was their free time. You get the idea behind that concept, yes? As in do whatever they want. And they wanted an OS! opposite of let's say drinking in bars trying to pick girls.
