Absolutely correct. In fact to expand on this slightly... I've had a lot of clients wanting to find land to build...what they don't understand is how few lenders are willing to lend on just land / single home building projects (at least in my market). Then you add in the well and septic where so many just waive their hands "no big deal right?" Um - it sure is a big deal if you are the "lucky" party who doesn't hit water for > 1000 feet. I've got a lot of prospective buyer / builders who show up with tech money and end up very surprised at how quickly you can eat through a million dollars cash when you start from bare land.
Marketing perhaps? Maybe they think the notice makes the product seem exclusive and so high quality that it needs special government protection because everyone is dying to reproduce it.
It's nostalgia aimed at people who had these computers as kids. I know it worked for me with their pretty cool TheC64.

Why not buy a real vintage home computer then? Well, in the case of the C64, vintage ones are unreliable, hard to get to work with modern screens and hard to get stuff in/out of them. You end up needing expensive extra hardware for all these things and for what? -- the retro remakes are pretty convenient out of the box, and give you the convenience of an emulator with the look & feel you remember from your childhood.

However, if you didn't own one of these as a kid, then you'll find them pointless.
That doesn't actually address the "overhead of an idle connection" bit meaningfully:

IIRC it has something to do with tubers also being the part of the plant that is used as food[0]. Why is that considered an exception while something cinnamon, where the bark of the plant is eaten and also used in asexual propagation, is not? No clue. Really most of this boils down to "because the law says so" or "because the courts said the law says so."

Trademark != patent
Not an "admirable" move as the previous commenter "ignoramous" states. All historic events can be debates. Nobody ought to have the power of political censorship. It's about time White people realize that the holocaust is used as a mind fuck to demoralize us and beat us down into submission. The last thing to do is to compromise on letting a crappy Silicon Valley company dictate what is/isn't legitimate free speech and/or thought crime (a la 1984).
I believe Monsanto sued a farmer accidentally pollenated with their patented genome, wind borne. I believe Monsanto won: he had to pay in some form or another. Not surprisingly, other organic farmers have sued when their non-GM crops were tainted by windborne patent encumbered pollen, and I believe they sometimes lose and sometimes win. It depends.
Not to mention their recommendations which I find to be quite decent.
I generally agree that if you're setting up multi-step or "enterprise grade" ETL processes that it's a job better handled by something like Airflow (we've done a few smaller ones with Step Functions which hasn't been terrible, but Airflow is still better).

Our use of AWS Lambda for ETL is usually just one-off small processes that don't have dependencies.

As soon as you start getting into "This ETL depends on X, Y, and Z being run first" I think you're out of "small utility" territory.
Mostly off topic, but cotton candy grapes are super delicious.

No, they sued a farmer who concentrated glyphosate resistant traces in his soybeans by spraying his field with that herbicide. Had he not done that, Monsanto would have done nothing (and likely could have done nothing). The courts properly recognized the farmers conduct as willful patent infringement.
There is no way to spin Spotify as a customer first company with shenanigans like this. It’s my data and I should be able to do anything I want with it. I’m happy to pay for superior product experience but not for them to hold my playlist data hostage.

I use songshift so I can copy my Spotify playlist to Apple Music...just so I can listen to music offline on my Apple Watch. How is it reasonable to have to pay for 2 music services just because interoperability sucks. Spotify and Apple are in this tug of war and it makes them both worse companies for their users.
Effigear Bicycle Gearbox
The problem is spotify spends money to make money. Other services want to make money off spotify.

This is the same issue with Apple, and every other service.
I wholeheartedly disagree with this entire statement.

If you want to grow as a programmer (in my case), then side projects are going to get you the skills to advance your career and get you a better job over "buddying up" with recruiters. Sure, you can be a 9-5 kinda person and then "switch off" when you get home, but you will be the one stuck wondering where it all went wrong and write a blog article complaining about it.

To me, typing speed is a convenience feature, not an efficiency feature (past like 30 wpm). I have recently twice experienced both low typing speeds (~30 wpm) and high typing speeds (~80 wpm) due to switching to colemak and to an ortholinear keyboard layout, and my productivity was the same on 30 wpm but man did it feel shitty.

I ended up typing less comments on sites like HN and typing in less detail to people on Discord. The increased convenience of having a higher WPM makes you want to write/communicate more, in my experience.
>"After 8 years of research, EFFIGEAR's gearbox solves all the problems encountered on a traditional drivetrain. Engineered to endure the abuse of Freeride, Downhill and Enduro, the EFFIGEAR's Gearbox can also be used for other diciplines.

Its strengths:

o Instant and smooth shifting of gears in any situation.

o Shifting of gears under load, without pedaling, or even stopped.

o Reliability of the transmission.

o Low Maintenance.

o Low Centralized Mass: unsprung weight is reduced for more stable, manuverable ride, and increased suspension responsiveness.

I'm reminded of the book by John Steinbeck - Once There Was A War. It takes the reader through some of his war-time experiences in WWII while he was in Great Britain.

In one passage he relates the story of passing along a lane late at night on his way home or back to base and seeing a cozy cottage warmly lit beside the road. It looked homey but he didn't remember seeing it before and when he revisited it during daytime there was nothing there so he asked around and discovered that indeed there had been a cozy cottage at that location where an old lady lived. It had been destroyed by a bomb which killed the old lady and consequently, it no longer existed.

I probably butchered that tale so if anyone else read that book feel free to correct me. That book and Catch-22 were a couple of my favorites growing up. Excellent writers both of them.
> I would MUCH rather stay in a nearby hotel (and have my guests stay in a hotel). I would feel less like I was imposing.

I think it depends on your relationship with the friends. There are some friends where I'd be really sad if they didn't stay with me or I didn't stay with them. We cook and drink together, and stay up late watching movies or TV or just talking, to the point where we don't want to worry about having to get one of us to a hotel.

One of my oldest friends has a cat that I'm mildly allergic to, but I will always sleep on his couch when I visit, even though the cost of a hotel room is well within my budget, and a hotel bed would probably be more comfortable than the couch. It's just so much more fun to stay with my friend. I get that this isn't for everyone, but that's kinda the point: everyone has different tastes.

> The analogy I use is the gym: I can do workouts at home, but the mental routine I have for getting up and going to the gym means I actually go much more often.

I've tried at various times to do the gym thing, but I just can never motivate myself. I think it's the overhead that kills it for me, the need to get myself ready to go, transport myself there, get into a routine, change, get myself home, etc. What ends up working for me is going for a 3-5 mile run in my neighborhood. I just change my shirt and pants, throw on running shoes, and go outside. I'm glad you've found a routine that helps keep you on track, but, again: everyone's different.
>Similar to MiSTer

Not similar at all, as miSTer is all about the openness, and the minimig-aga core is of course Open Hardware.

Vampire, while being fully proprietary and closed, implements CPU and Amiga chipset extensions that are not found in any original Amiga hardware. If these are utilized, the possibility of vendor lock-in arises, as there's no alternative implementations.
Right? Maybe the speck of hostility is as little as we interpret the word 'side projects' differently and forget about other context and variable, or simple fact that not everyone have a knack on side project...I found that if you're not side project guy, then you're not, and that's fine.

I mean, I believe many people don't have side project and still have perfectly happy life.
Reads like someone who's deeply frustrated with their career history...

"Forget side projects and focus on job" sounds as terrible as the opposite: "ignore your job and just send time on personal interests"

It is my experience that most recruiters are superficial to the point that unless they received instructions to literally hire someone with most meetup attandances, they will ignore any candidate that list those in resume.

But, there ARE recruiters who can see through a weak resume and help you make it more targeted, surface keywords that help you get interviews.

I see .fr in domain: is going through recruiters the main way to get hired in IT in france? Where I am the best way to get hired (beyond entry level) is through referrals and for those, I find that side projects and collaborations are much better at generating a future lead that just proving you were good at your job

Serverless architectures rely on some sort of gateway run by their cloud provider as their always on listener which spins up a process for your function when needed.

Essentially it’s a collective pooling which is cheap enough that it can be offered for “free” to the entity creating a serverless workflow.

I would, frankly, love to imagine that the Nobel Prize were a purely meritocratic recognition of surpassing scientific achievement—especially insofar as that achievement reflects a material contribution to the good of humankind. Unfortunately, there are so many arbitrary, even medieval barriers to the average human's entry into the competition as to completely obviate its claims to impartial meritocracy. This is partly evident in the winners' pool being made up of 94% men, and only 6% women, when any honest scientist will tell you that women are, biologically speaking, equally efficacious scientists. The discrepancy, therefore, in their award reception—or even, to be generous, their achievement—can only be attributed to bigotry. Enormously, grossly, painfully, obviously sexist outcomes should not be revered, let alone accepted, or even acknowledged in polite company, except to decry them as I have.

There are definitely other axes on which the prize is inaccessible due not to practitioners' skill, or ingenuity, but their socioeconomic class. Ignoring this scandalous inequity is a shameful act of willful ignorance. It's an embarrassment that we call ourselves civilized, while allowing such injustice to take purchase in our collective reverence.

The prize is not important. It is the masturbatory act of a bigoted elite. It is a self-congratulatory celebration of Social Darwinism. It's gross, and a good person would be ashamed to receive it. I can understand why this would break hearts, but the emperor, here, has no clothes. The abysmal sample size should have tipped off at least one good faith statistician.

Disproportionately rich disproportionately white disproportionately men are not disproportionately superior scientists.
>There's a documentary on Netflix called Food, Inc. that goes into Monsanto's vendetta against farmers, suing them for intellectual property theft if their GMO seeds blow into their fields from a neighbors field.

AFAIK that's not an accurate depiction of what monsanto has been doing. According to wikipedia[1] monsanto says they won't "exercise its patent rights where trace amounts of our patented seed or traits are present in farmer's fields as a result of inadvertent means". I'm not sure what the exact that was discussed in the documentary, but the ones mentioned in the wikipedia article all have elements of the farmer doing something intentionally, eg.

>The case began in 2007, when Monsanto sued Indiana farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman who in 1999 bought seed for his second planting from a grain elevator – the same elevator to which he and others sold their transgenic crops.[17] The elevator sold the soybeans as commodities, not as seeds for planting.[17][18] Bowman tested the new seeds, and found that ,as he had expected, some were resistant to glyphosate. He intentionally replanted his harvest of GM seeds in subsequent years, supplementing them with more soybeans he bought at the elevator. [...]

Daemon and Freedom are top class hard scifi. The plot hinges on technical detail that is both completely plausible and a natural extension of existing information technology. It's obvious that Suarez really understands what he's talking about in a deep way. I'd say "Daemon" is top twenty for best hard scifi books. http://superkuh.com/hardscifi.txt

Delta-v is good scifi and I love this kind of background detail.
Those aren't plant patents, those are DNA patents, completely different from the plant patents being discussed here. The patent there is on the dna sequence, not the plant. If you took that dma sequence, cloned it into yeast, amd started fermenting the enzymes the sequences produced, you'd also be 8 fringing that patent - jt has nothing to do with the pollen or the plant, the plant just happens to be what the patented item is in.
Better yet, buy a voter registry, cross reference GOP/Democrats, and depending on your affiliation, toss the ones from people who are not your party leanings... who would know? (sarcasm, don't do this, cause it's effed up!)
> It doesn't matter if someone is privileged or not, recruiters _are_ bottom feeders. Its a shit job that nobody wants and anyone with a modicum of ability seems to get out of asap in my experience.

It's totally a shit job in a ton of ways but the best recruiters absolutely make a killing. It's a sales job though so what makes a recruiter good from an engineers prospective is orthogonal to what actually makes them good.
There is a whole lot of BS that goes around about what Monsanto supposedly did to poor wittle innocent farmers that's really just a tissue of lies. It's remarkable how widespread this noxious slander has been.
Bricking has never had a solid definition. The most useful definition is a product is bricked when the owner does not have the skills/time/money required to get the product in a working state. The product is a brick to them.

If you flash bad firmware on a device and overwrite the bootloader used for flashing, many would consider this a bricked device since they don't know how to use an SPI flasher to restore a working firmware. For others simply having a device that isnt fixable via a factory reset is bricked because they don't know how to flash via usb.

A car that has become software locked without a way to restore it is bricked imo.

Probably depends on your local jurisdiction... I am not a lawyer but my own experiences tell me that any kind of civil case below about $50K, the courts would really you rather not bother them with this, and you are going to spend at least 20% of that and several years before you may or may not see a dime.

You could put the Dakota 38 in the same category as the Long Walk of the Navajo and the Bengali famine. Good governments distractedly do bad things during major wars (wars that threaten the survival of the state and/or culture) in areas irrelevant to the primary mission of survival. The US during the Civil War (1861-1865, most US fatalities in any war). The Brits during WWII.

Most of my limited production Haskell experience has been schlepping enterprise JSON using AWS Lambda and calling REST APIs.

I’ve not had any bug reports in ages. Which is counter to what most of the teams were used to when deploying services in JavaScript or Ruby. Usually you test like hell, QA, ship, get a few error reports from users, fix them, get one or two a couple months later and fix those... then a year later you change something and get a bunch of new error reports about the feature that used to work... and you fix those.

Haskell forced me to address most of those errors before my program would compile. I had to write a few tests but orders of magnitude fewer than I was used to. I shipped fast.

I got one report from the customer many months later when I made a mistake due to a miscommunication of requirements. One test case prevented that kind of error happening again inadvertently and shipped in less than an hour. Haven’t heard any reports since.

Haskell is my go to where I can get away with it. Absolutely solid stuff.

Every platform nowadays is a way to lock you in. Strava makes exporting data exceptionally difficult and has API rate-limits. I’m sure there’s a technical reason, but still sucks.

One of the tech journalists I follow has advocated the need for legislation for data portability to avoid shenanigans like Spotify has. Much like the phone number portability in the mid-2000s or interoperability after Ma-Bell AT&T was broken up, it sometimes takes legislation to enforce an open Internet. I think GDPR was one of the first steps towards that.
Couldn't someone gain access to a registry of voters for the dem party, cross reference w/ ballots, and purge non-GOP votes?
