The majority of Hollywood (and to a lesser extent general entertainment/media) accounting for money is “complicated”.

It’s a known issue whereby producers and other people in a position of financial power deliberately shape the deal structures to be deceptively appealing in order to basically keep more of the money for themselves. Google “Hollywood accounting” if you’re curious for more details.

The six figures reference may be a reflection of what the person in question is likely to be walking away from the deal with in terms of “money in their own pockets” as opposed to total money made available to them by Netflix for the purpose of making shows.

GADTs are insanely helpful in writing correct by construction code. That function indicate the effects it has in the type is possibly the greatest feature Haskell has. Haskell LSP is great allowing to write and evaluate doctests in real-time.

Haskell can be learned in a couple of months of serious learning. If you don't get it after 9 months you simply weren't serious in learning it. It's not like Haskell is harder then any other language. It's concepts are different which makes it hard to learn. But C++ and Python are much harder to write code in then Haskell.
But Windows 95 wasn't too bad once you removed the bloatware! In fact I think it's faster to use in daily usage due to the lack of animations and GUI candy than modern Windows.

Also, I have an Android device and have had them since the TMobile G1. Early models were hampered by RAM scarcity, and each Android release mentioned the smoother UI (it didn't get great until 6.0 or 7.0?). But in general they were OK (apart from a dreadful Samsung tablet I bought) and the only thing that would "bloat" them is running too many apps concurrently (but then they were "freeze dried" until relaunch) or having too many services running, which recent Android has started to kill vehemently like iOS.

I agree with your Apple build quality support though - my MacBook Pro is 8 years old no problems, and I'm happy with the Air 2 I own that is still supported and useful at decent speeds 5+ years after I bought it.
Because they believe, whether right or wrong, that a developper in Kensas provides more value than one in Russia, but less than one in the Bay Area?

It could be because of language, timezone, cultural difference, taxes, regulation, ... Or it could be they're simply wrong.

I do believe, however, that it's a bit more nuanced than "onsite" and "remote". Not all remote places are equals.

But if we didn't care about defects, developers could confidently make changes to existing code without having tests.

The end goal is still avoiding defects, helping developers is just the "middle-man".

Interesting question, it relates to the heat of fusion of water ice.[1] I think the issue is that there just isn't that much ice on Earth, so its heat capacity (which is somewhat proportional to its temperature) dominates the equation. Here's the information you'd need to do the math yourself:

>"It has been estimated that there are 1,386 million cubic kilometres (333,000,000 cubic miles) of water on Earth.[6] This includes water in liquid and frozen forms in groundwater, oceans, lakes and streams. Saltwater accounts for 97.5% of this amount, whereas fresh water accounts for only 2.5%. Of this fresh water, 68.9% is in the form of ice and permanent snow cover in the Arctic, the Antarctic and mountain glaciers; 30.8% is in the form of fresh groundwater; and only 0.3% of the fresh water on Earth is in easily accessible lakes, reservoirs and river systems."[2]

"On a side note, I do wish more seasons (streaming or not) would actually come to a real stopping point instead of just ending on a cliffhanger and hoping to be renewed."

I think this is half of the problem, too many shows being made with the hope they get enough traction to stretch out a few seasons. The result being not much of story and/or any hope of a satisfactory ending.

No surprise that viewing figures tail-off as this becomes a predictable path?

I don't even know what you're talking about. I have a sony BT noise-cancelling headset (in fact two), and they work just fine with my Linux (pop_os) laptop. No noticeable difference with my android phone. The mike works fine, too (it's a tad low but it's not better with Android, it's this headset).

I've just checked with pavucontrol and it uses A2DP automatically by default, no configuration needed. And the microphone works with Skype and other VC programs, no configuration needed either. So well, anecdata vs anecdata.

That's Data Science. Data Engineering is just writing code (pipelines in Spark usually) which moves data from system A to B and perhaps applies some machine learning code, supplied by data scientists, to it. But, most of the work is just moving data around. I work with dozens of Data Engineers and none of them know even basic stats (and if they know, they don't get to use it anyway).

A depressing aspect of this is that our toolbag is mostly empty. The few rusty old tools we have are not very good.

On the antitrust side... Courts and antitrust law are completely ill equipped to deal with modern monopoly. Everything must be funneled through a 19th century lens.

On the regulatory side... it might be even worse. We need to keep in mind that regulators are usually monopoly enforcing. Look at banks, traditional media, etc. The difference between a regulated fb and an unregulated one may be that fb can blame the regulator for censorship. This is how it works in a bank. Whatever mindless bureaucracy exists, everyone can just claim it's mandated. Meanwhile, it makes competition less likely. A "privacy preferences" popup approach will not help us with our monopoly problem.

Courts: The recent EU adwords case is a great example. They found unequivocally that adwords monopolises search ads, and use this monopoly to suppress competing search engines who have to sell ads on the adwords network. Google got a $1.5bn fine. Similar cases against amazon marketplace. To Google, it's a cost of doing business, and google would have undoubtedly paid that much just to get the narrow benefits proven in court. Monopolies are not a narrow phenomenon though. Whatever can be proved in court is the tip of an iceberg, almost by definition. If courts focus on the narrow (they are), then maneuvering around court decisions is trivial.

Meanwhile, consider this: If Toyota (workers, machines.. everything) fell of the disc tomorrow, the world would have less auto manufacturing capacity. It would take time and resources to rebuild. If facebook fell off the disc, the social media vacuum would be filled near instantly. There would be no social media supply issues.

This is where modern monopolies depart from 19th century monopolies. Courts may have wanted to liberalize (eg) the market for steel, but they didn't want to crash it. We still needed their steel. We don't really need facebook's "steel." Whether fb makes $100bn on ads or 1% of that, we will have plenty of social media. There is no (public interest) reason to step (on fb) lightly, but courts can't really make these distinctions.

IMO, the only answer is to act against size itself, and make decisions on a case-by-case basis. Also IP. Say Tesla does get to self driving years ahead of everyone because data... do they now get a monopoly forever? The poverty of our public domain is going to become increasingly relevant.

Given, for example, that AMZN "are the market" in a meaningful sense, why not make their sales data disclosable. That data is being proven in court to be a monopolistically potent. Give other market participants access. Advertising even moreso. This data is of major public interest

I completely agree with you
You're totally right.

But think about a blob storage class that has two methods, ReadOneFile(), ReadMultipleFiles().

You have one test that just mocks ReadOneFile(string fileName) and doesn't mock the ReadMultipleFiles(). You now change the implementation of the System Under Test (SUT) to use once the ReadMultipleFile(string[] fileNames) call instead of three times the ReadOneFile(). Now your test fails, but the implementation of the SUT is perfectly valid. You need to rewrite your test.

If you would use a fake, the test would stay green, without changing. The test with the fake is less specific to the implementation, and helps you better with refactoring/changing your code.

And additionally in this example ReadOneFile() is called three times, and is expected to return three different results. So even your mock needs some logic to handle that.
It definitely saved my laptop a couple of times. But I hear you on the annoying sitting-on-your-lap-cable-coming-out thing. Very annoying.
I agree with this view, and would like to add that I see improving the tests available to the developer as really speeding up the OODA loop of development.
I used to use it back in 2009/2010 as an alternative to Bittorrent etc. which was ruthlessly blocked by the University network.

> ...a years-long effort by the world's first big computing firm to diversify away from its legacy businesses to focus on high-margin cloud computing.

I don't know much about the business behind cloud computing, but is any of it genuinely high-margin? My understanding is that the industry was still growing rapidly, with products becoming somewhat commoditised, and low margins. Is this more about selling consultancy services associated with Watson?
This is a bit of a left-field comment, but... don't episodic TV shows have a lot of the same downsides as SaaS solutions? You want indefinite entertainment that you'll be happy with season after season after season, but the cost is an eternity of risk that the network will cancel the show and you'll never find out how it ends.

The difference is that I want Photoshop to run forever, but I'm not as sure I want Walter White to get an exotic new cancer every twelve months.

I don't watch shows on my own. I know they satisfy the urge to turn on the TV and just have something on, and I think that urge is mind-rotting. If I have to watch something, why not a movie? If I don't have the energy to pay attention for 90 minutes, why idly kill time watching anything at all?

Or what about short films? That's a whole neglected format. They have Oscars and a dedicated video network for them.

Kambo, a properly dosed frog poison applied to the limbic system by first searing small dots through top layer of skin, has a similar effect by strongly engaging the immune system once it detects the poison - and causes a whole body reaction where the limbic/lymphatic system rapidly clears out the poison (and whatever other stagnant toxins are in the system), dumping them into the stomach which then have to be thrown up to clear them.

There are trained/certified shamans who offer kambo ceremonies.

Same here. I felt like the book could actually end after the remaining women decided on genetic manipulations. What followed thereafter was quite boring, and I stopped reading it as well. Actually sad, because the backstory is likely just preparation for what follows. But it was just too boring to go on.

Prompted by a comment from someone yesterday, I actually replayed the Snow Crash audiobook in the evening. Comparing SC and SE I notice that SC feels quite juvenile. I didnt notice that as much when I first read it in my 20s. But these days, it feels a bit too much over the top. Contrary to that, SE somehow feels too grown up.
> Also what’s fun is that the data in the tables can change the explain plan.

1. This change tends to be in your favour, not against you.

2. Data is important, not the code. Of course the plan would change if your data changes. That is the point of the query planner, to find the most efficient way of retrieving the data, based of course on the contents of the database.

I agree that you need a good knowledge of your database in order to be effective. Just like with C++, for example. Unfortunately we're not at the point where we can achieve optimal results without understanding the fundamentals, regardless of the programming paradigm.
Maybe. But this one isn't imo. How can it be useful to call snakes, birds, crocodiles and pterosaurs "reptile"? It makes no sense. At least if you exclude avemetatarsalia it says something about scaly skin and stuff, but that's not the common parlance use so in my opinion it's better to just throw the entire word in the bin :)
Is there a general timeframe where people experience the benefits of the breathing experiences? Like do I have to do it for weeks, month or years until I feel the effect?
There's an interesting caveat here, the phenomenon is well known to apnea practitioners:

- Hyperventilating, then holding your breath underwater can easily be deadly.

- Doing the same without hyperventilation is much safer.

The difference lies in the fact that our ability to sense our limits are almost entirely due to CO2 buildup. We actually almost can't tell when we run out of oxygen, it's why pilots are fine one second and pass out the next when they don't notice that the oxygen runs out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUfF2MTnqAw).

Hyperventilating reduces your CO2 but leaves oxygen saturation almost unaffected, which for an unexperienced person is equivalent to doing a blind walk next to a cliff, and removing the barrier.

> If I use Entity Framework Core I also love the in-memory provider (or SQLite in-memory), which gives you a very well faked database context for unit tests.

This approach easy to setup, however I found that it slows down unit tests especially with data migrations and setup before each test (to discard test data from other tests). I've since limited these to test only migrations and in some well thought out integration testing.
Yes, but UK series are normally tied up neatly at the end and not left unresolved. If Netflix did the same, I doubt people would have a problem with it.

edit: it's also purely a matter of opinion, but I got a lot more pure enjoyment from the US version of the Office than the UK one. They had more time to develop the characters and figure out what was truly funny about the show. Sure it devolved into sentimental fan service in the last few seasons, but at it's peak I was laughing way harder at the American version than I ever did for the British one.
This doesn't make sense to me. Unless "small business" actually means a firm that uses an internal video link for many dozens of people, I would think that small businesses are actually overprovisioned. Consider that you could easily support several people watching youtube or similar streaming media at the same time.

Suppose you have a small firm with 10 office workers. They're doing what? Downloading excel spreadsheets or word documents, working on them, then uploading them. For that they have a 20-50Mps line. It might be asymmetric, but chances are that it's still fast enough to get most documents very quickly, and your 10 staff will barely ever be using the line at the same time.

Even remote desktop sessions are not all that bandwidth hungry, and chances are if you're doing vidconf, you are using the provider's infrastructure, eg zoom.

IMO if you're a small business your problem is more that you don't have anyone who knows how to configure the router, you might have lax security, and your infrastructure is brittle (net goes down, no fallback).

That's what I'd focus on rather than VPN capacity.

You don't need microservices to do this.

Build a monolith which does everything. Deploy multiple instances. Route booking requests to a subset of the instances. Route other requests to the other instances.

We did this at an old job. We had a data-intensive app which had a web UI for users, an admin UI, and an API for data export. They all had lots of common code for persistence, querying, aggregation, etc. Because of the common code, the simplest way to implement the three interfaces was in a single codebase. But because API requests could sometimes crash the app (we didn't do a great job here!), we segregated the API into its own pool of instances. We didn't segregate the admin UI, but could have done that if necessary.

As well as simplicity, another advantage of this approach is that the decision about how to split up traffic is very dynamic: you can change it just by adding or removing instances and changing load balancer config, without having to make any code changes. if you split the traffic up into separate microservices, you have to make that decision upfront, and changing it is a lot of work.
