This is clearly the successor to Otto. I think the key point here is this:

> "This workflow is consistent across any platform, including Kubernetes, Nomad, EC2, Google Cloud Run, and over a dozen more at launch. Waypoint can be extended with plugins to target any build/deploy/release logic."

It makes a lot of sense. You provision your infrastructure with Terraform and deploy with Waypoint. This is basically Terraform but for Deployments.

I think that's pretty cool. I'm wondering how clever is this though. If I have something running locally a deploy with Waypoint do they figure out all the configuration automatically?

One big challenge that I have always had with fresh deployments into new environments it's making them work out of the box. I don't remember the last time I have deployed something without having to change a configuration or mess with the command line of my host to make it work.
That just means it's a low value conversation. The end effect is very different. In my country there are anti-racism laws that /can/ put you in jail for saying something considered racist. Btw, I'm not totally against those laws. To say free speech has to be completely, 100% free, say /anything/ and any message you can think of, seems flawed to me.
also, Facebook started this verification stuff post 2016 because of 2016 so you should be thrilled.
There are two different classes of user. One class checks those things and knows that their post didn't go through. (That doesn't apply to voting, though—that's important.) A second class of user doesn't check and doesn't know. That second class tends to be more naive spammers or promoters, and shadowbanning works well in those cases.

It's useful with the more sophisticated class too, though. If they have to start fresh with new accounts, it slows them down and makes what they're doing more obvious to the community.
For large scale uwb to work one needs to probably use TDoA - In which case we would probably need more than one tag. TDoA is private by default as the phone is a passive listener. That being said I don't believe any of this is really a plus for privacy per se.
You have to analyze the reality of this world. First off open source cannot exist without closed source.

Imagine if everything in the world went open source. Then nobody would be getting paid, everyone would starve because they're giving away there work for free.

Most things in this world are profit oriented products produced as a direct result a capitalism. Open source is an offshoot phenomenon in software arising because software is both easier than other forms of engineering (see thousands of bootcamps) and also easily copyable.

However it should be known that most software developers need to have a job in closed source software in order to pay the bills.

Whenever you see something open source you have to know it's an offshoot phenomenon. These are side projects spawned by intense interest but ultimately still a side project to a person's main line of work which is ultimately profitable. Be surprised that there are 3D printers because it's abnormal. The fact that there are no open source 2D printers arises because there's lack of interest and because there's no profit in open source 2D printers.
Anyone spot an official response from Glassdoor to this?
>They buy up office space in every major city, and then, rather than permanently stationing any teams there, essentially make all such spaces into private-access coworking spaces.

Well, this makes sense, since IBM is effectively a consulting firm now. This is how all consulting firms operate -- there are tons of these all over the place in DC.
So that's what they've been doing with all the Heroku people they've been hiring.

> Most of the big tech cos. can replace Zoom overnight.

This ignores the fact that Zoom rose alongside competing offerings from all of the big tech cos. You cite using Google Meet, which has essentially existed (as Hangouts and G+) for all of Zoom's lifetime. Microsoft bought Skype around the time Zoom was founded (edit: and obviously has Teams now). Cisco bought WebEx in 2007. GoToMeeting (Citrix) is older than Zoom.

And that's without counting the transit providers (AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc. in the US), who have been doing video chat trials since the late '80s. Again, all big rich companies.

Edit: Amazon has video calling in Alexa & Chime. Facebook has Portal. IBM had Sametime until 2019.

The assumption that the big tech companies can replace Zoom overnight needs to account for the fact that Zoom started in a marketplace crowded by competition from big public companies and should never have achieved traction. Not to compare them directly, but people made similar arguments about Google, which also launched into a crowded marketplace and was "overvalued" etc.

Note: I am not taking a position on Zoom's valuation.
My eyes opened to this after leaving my last company. They announced layoffs shortly after I quit and Glassdoor was inundated with a flood of long, detailed reviews expressing concern and unhappiness around all the issues that had caused me to leave voluntarily. The company's star rating dropped from 3.5ish to 3 and was trending down.

Then, mysteriously, within the space of a week, almost all of the negative reviews vanished from Glassdoor, and a lot of bland 4 star "well there's good and bad, some mistakes were made, but despite the past few months, overall it's good" appeared, pushing the handful of negative reviews that remained off the front page. I know from former colleagues that management had "suggested" staff write these sorts of reviews.

Now the company rating is higher than it was before the layoffs and I am completely disillusioned with not only that company, and Glassdoor, but the fakeness of the industry as a whole. It's so disappointing that a site that originally felt like a useful resource for workers has become just yet another PR/branding tool.

But I'm not disappointed in ReactOS because it's not fully compatible. I'm disappointed because it's not stable.

(Or was, last time I tried a couple of years ago.)

I think they should go for rock solid stable first.
Then people could build on it. It's perfect for embedded, Point-of-Sale etc where the vendor want to keep their codebase untouched but hop off the Microsoft bandwagon.
I am pessimistic that Linux will ever see widespread adoption. It has too many warts and no killer app for the regular user.

For me, it's not just driver support, it's the deep dives required to get random things working. Like finding the right commands to get my 4k monitor scaled correctly.
Could it be some kind of marketing stunt to drum up attention around jetpacks ahead of an official announcement? It's irresponsible, unsafe and illegal, but you can't deny that it works - they've made the news.
If you can't guarantee that the algorithm respects protected classes (or other forbidden discriminations) then yes, you can't use it. Compare it to the hypothetical process where "we have Jim decide". You can't open up Jim's head and see why he made choices, but you can run tests against the system (Jim) to probe for forbidden discriminations.
It seems like I struck a nerve.

There is nothing twisted about my interpretations, and I’m not defending Apple.

Here are is a summary of my position:

1. I agree with Gruber - Apple shouldn’t be policing discussion of their rules.

2. Your comment is not the same as Sagaarjha’s.

I have clearly explained why, and you have chosen to ignore the points I made, and attack me personally.

3. I can understand why Apple is motivated to police certain comments, and I believe the motivations are based on real problems they want to avoid in good faith.

4. Despite believing #3 I also believe #1. Just because they are acting in good faith on real problems, doesn’t mean I think they are doing the right thing.

5. I believe we should choose open OS’s and there should be a possibly mandated requirement to be able to install alternate OS’s on Apple decides (and anything else in a wide similar class).

Not one thing I have said in this thread defends Apple’s actions at all.

I don’t find that it helps us to understand what is going on if we simply portray them as a nasty bully without considering their motivations.

If this is representative of ‘unbearable bias’, then so be it.
This is pretty interesting.

I spent the last year building an in-house, Kubernetes based PAAS that has a lot of similar functionality. What we don't do, however, is support multiple execution environments -- we're tightly coupled to Kubernetes.

The fact that it's OSS makes it a compelling starting point for other organizations who are beginning their own in-house PAAS efforts (or restarting them). If I were starting over I'd definitely dig into this before deciding to roll my own.

I know I'm certainly going to need to make some time to learn more about Waypoint. It might be too much pain to migrate to, as our in-house system is pretty mature -- but it'll at the very least serve as a source of inspiration. NIce work!

Do you know how you plan to monetize this in the long-run? I assume it's via a managed offering, where the end-user isn't responsible for hosting the software themselves and instead pays a monthly rate (or pays per use). Knowing what that trajectory looks like we help me feel more comfortable using it, as it'd clarify how it will / will not change.
I've seen the same phenomena in dozens of ancient temples in India I had the chance to visit, often attributed to Islamic conquests. The native Hindu rulers weren't any less sparing either when they conquered their rivals who worshipped a different deity.
You're Not Using Source Control? Read This (2013) [pdf]
Lack of a (viable) alternative to a solution doesn't negate critiquing an existing solution. Critique can provide insight that leads to generation of new solutions or reforms to the existing solution to fix some of its underlying problems. You always end up with more information than you started, which is a good thing.
I think I'm going to disagree with the sentiment of the article and say that congress should not be investing in opensource generically any more than they should be building cars, computers, or whatever other shared technologies we all use (except maybe to boost some really fundamental research, AKA Sematech).

But that isn't to say, that congress shouldn't be allocating budget to open source projects where it makes sense. Another poster pointed out the education software market, which is a good example of a case where the government is basically creating a whole industry that exists primary to service a government need. In that case there should be a strong bias to libre licensed software, even going so far as to create it if needed.

Blanket statements though, about all software the government uses should be free is crazy. Why can't the government actually do cost/benefit analysis and make that determination on a case by case basis and pick the tool for the job. It would be crazy to say that they should write their own internet search engine, or niche software for the two guys in the government that use $commercial_off_the_shelf_package that only runs on windows.

So, why not identify a few places that need change and fix those rather than these all encompassing statements. Tax filing software is another area where anyone who isn't h&r block or Intuit thinks the government should actually spend a few million and write some software, or for that matter voting software.

PS, in case it wasn't clear, if the government writes some software is should absolutely be opensource with a liberal license.

I didn't know Radeon was better with Linux. I'd like to turn my current device into a headless server and build a new PC specifically to run Ubuntu well.

CUDA is a key use case for me though - I actually use quite a lot of software that depends on it and my understanding is I can't do that with AMD graphics. I'd also like to get in on the RTX 3080/3070 action and I think I might value that performance more than being able to run Linux natively.

Sure they do. I'm sure they are perfectly OK with engineers being passionate about Trump, pro-life, religion... Yeah..

It's clear as day that pretty much everyone in this thread has a blind-spot because they just so happen to agree with the culture of a San Francisco company pushing progressive values. If you moved to rural Alabama and now you were inundated with conservative values and politics to the point where you were worried about your job if you did not consent, for example, signing your name on some conservative petition, I bet you would see the value of keeping the workplace neutral.

I've seen this first hand. There is a Director at my workplace that goes on pro-choice rants all the time. Her assistant confident to me that she's actually pro-life but feels like she has to agree publicly (and like her Facebook rants) because she needs her job. How is that good? What's the point of engaging in a pro-choice vs pro-life debate at work when you're trying to build a widget.

> outside of throwing any savings I can muster into a vanguard fund,

I know the popular advice for the last decade has been "stock market always goes up! 8% a year!" but do you really believe it's wise to align your future investment strategy with the general well being of the economic.

I'm not saying don't have a 401k (well if you really press me, I will say that), but if all of your savings are directly tied to the market that means that you are most successful when the rest of the market succeeds, but in the case that the market collapses you also collapse. This is leverage, the opposite of hedging.

It has always seemed strange to me that Wallstreet has convinced American's to treat their retirement as leverage rather than a hedge. If the market is doing fantastic, then it's not as important to have savings, and if the market is doing poorly it's important have other means of economic stability.

I think the whole tech industry is working from home right now, so no one is missing out by some folks in an office and others at home. Once the extroverted folks start migrating back to the office and people start having FOMO, I think then we can have the debate about what happens next. Right now it's all just speculation.

Also, once the kids go back to school and single people move back to the city or new suburb, where things open back up, this will also play into the debate.

Why work from home when you can venture to the office (or corporate co-working space), find a little nook and work with fast internet, free snacks and a change of scenery.
Oh yeah. More likely they'd come based on you going to an event they don't like, or having a hobby they don't like. And they probably won't be interested in any claims that you weren't there or didn't do that or aren't who they're looking for.

Actual police mostly have better procedures for this sort of thing, but still sometimes get the wrong guy or go to the wrong address. Somehow I doubt such groups will do better than them.
Don't we already do this via National Science Foundation (NSF) grants? A lot of open source has come out of them. If you look at academic papers associated with the source, you'll often see NSF grant numbers.

The tax deficit for this year is going to really hurt the city. SF makes most of its income in tourism and tech. There isn’t much travel right now and there is a tech exodus. So the deficit is growing everyday.

Bars and restaurants have been either on strict lockdown or reduced capacity since early March, a lot of them that have been around for decades are closing.

So now we have an exodus of small businesses, tech workers, and reduced tourism.
The city will have to convince tech workers and small business owners to come back while they probably increase taxes to work off the deficit. The lack of small businesses and increase in squalor will impact tourism even after COVID and the longer COVID goes on the more damage there is.

I don’t see the SF govt cutting expenses until it’s absolutely necessary. Overall it seems like an uphill battle. I feel really bad for the small business owners in SF who are likely never going to recover from this.

I, too, have a 28S that rarely sees the light of day. Instead it is my older, and much less advanced, HP-10C that gets occasional exercise.

The 28 and 48 series sat in a kind of awkward spot between pocket calculators and "real" computers. The programming language is essentially Lisp turned backwards, but for any task where you actually need that capacity, it must have been easier, even at the time, to just use a PC (in the wider sense, not just IBM PC and clones). The 48 had better communications facilities, so I imagine it might have been useful where pocket carry was actually necessary (it seems to have been popular with surveyors, for example, and I have seen them hooked up with a cable to a total station).

this is a companion marketing piece (to social cooling[0]) for a social trends consultant. like that one, this one makes a loose argument on one topic (algorithmic bias) through sparse statements and vague references, even as the core argument might otherwise be interesting and rich. based on the quality of its points and the focus of the consultancy, it seems to be meant for reference on instagram/twitter, not rigorous debate.
