A lot of things seem obvious but aren't actually true. Plenty of people with degree and experience coasted on nothing, or have personalities so abrasive as to make working with them all but impossible. Disappointingly I have poor experience with degrees actually instilling any sense of diligence, or even research capabilities, thus making them questionable even when recruiting for fields such as R&D, where it should be truly an obvious choice. At least a retrained nurse has some basic curiosity and a critical eye, though it's a bit of a shame, what with the nursing staff shortage.

And, also personally, I've had great experience with people who migrated from absolutely unrelated fields (e.g. several people who retrained - within same company - from support into software development). Similarly I had great experience with fresh interns turning out to be brilliant theory people.

Yeah, we should probably include in Github readme, but the itscontained/secret-manager is an implementation of the standardization that a few of us have been working on in https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-external-secrets/pull/....

There has been talks of moving one of these solutions to https://github.com/external-secrets ownership, but nothing has happened around that yet.
I'd argue this very firmly meets the expectations of a class of small cars where being distinctive matters (almost) as much as being compact, and certainly more than having it look the way bigger cars are expected to.

With the 2CV, Mini Cooper and the Smart cars as the most prominent early examples, but there are a bunch of other cars in this segment pushing down towards the 100"/2.5m length mark now, and a lot of the newer design aesthetics in this segment seems to involve intentionally signalling that it's part of this segment by an exaggerated "compressed" look (compare the Mini Cooper, that just looks like a small but relatively normal car, to e.g. the Smart ForTwo or the Ami, that both looks like they've been squashed).

This is intentional signalling to a customer segment that wants that type of car.
There are a lot fewer of them and they provide much more essential services to the city. It would still be better if they didn't share infrastructure with cyclists.
Consider trying Emacs 27.1 with the Jansson library to help with JSON parsing if you're using an LSP-based approach in Emacs. (Apparently one of the reasons that it's sluggish is because the comms between Emacs and the corresponding language server are done in JSON, and previously Emacs' JSON parsing was a bit slow--libjansson was incorporated to speed that up). I have not used JetBrains so I don't have that comparison, but I use this Emacs arrangement with C# and have been very happy with its autocomplete/jump-to-definition/etc. capabilities. (I have used it with Python and JavaScript as well with a bit less success, but I think that is mainly because I haven't managed to get my environment configured quite right for it to be able to find everything, so that's my own shortcoming and I'd expect to have similar issues in any other editor ;) )
Anyone's using this in production? Or any other unikernels?

tl;dr: a unikernel means there's no standard OS other than the runtime execution environment specifically just for Golang in this instance; which means it should be much faster and much more lean (at the price of not having standard tools like SSH and all)

Long form answers (and college courses in general) are graded relative to your peers, whereas certificates aren't, which creates a huge difference. Even long form answers that aren't actually bell curved at the end, the person grading it has still read the best answers and the worst answers, and they're probably going to grade relative to that.

That precludes having studied "enough". "Enough" is measured relative to your peers, not to how hard the exam is. As long as someone else is studying, "enough" is a moving target. On a certification, I can check out how hard the exam is and study just enough to pass it. If I know for a fact that the exam isn't going to test comprehension, just recall, and that I'm not going to fail because someone else studied enough to comprehend, it makes sense to just memorize the recall portions.

Certifications would do better if they went the same way. For each group of people taking the test, curve the test so that some minimum, fixed percentage of them fail. Let's say it's 20%; so for every group of 100 people taking the test, at least 20 of them will fail (although it could be more if you set a floor on the lowest score you will allow to pass). Even if the exam doesn't test comprehension, I'm willing to bet that most people would pick it up just through studying.
And that could very well be it, just thought it worth a mention.
One of Google's greatest strength was in the pre 2010 period was they were the only advertising sources that sold high quality traffic in massive volume and fraud was almost a non-issue. Go back to 2007 and try to run an ad campaign anywhere else online and it was a nightmare.

Things have changed. Google repeatedly has modified the delivery settings of their ads for active campaigns, just as you complain about the geolocation issue. My guess is that if someone did a proper investigation Google would have to back pay advertisers many billions of dollars. This is fraud anyway you cut it. They have done the same thing with mobile ads. You disable the mobile app inventory and they modify the UI and re-enable it.
Kind of a different problem, but I've had really good experience with using Hashicorp's vault, which is excellent, paired with the vault-secrets-operator for kubernetes to do my secrets management. It will sync secrets from a vault path and create a kubernetes secret that you can use like any other secret. At least this way I feel like there's less lockin to a cloud provider (and some of the places I run this have on-prem kubernetes, so I have to have something that works outside of the cloud, and sometimes without internet).

Ironically, the quoted description of a pipe wrench seems to be from a patent [1] that's full of references to a picture.

And it seems doubly strange to choose a patent as an example of precisely and uniquely describing an invention in the modern age, when patents are written as broadly and imprecisely as possible.

I live in Amsterdam. Your point is valid that the flat topography makes cycling easy.

But electric bicycles solve the issue of climbing slopes and are extremely cheap. For the price of an entry-level car you can buy 6 good e-bikes or 2–3 top-of-the-line models. Making cities more bike-friendly would be a boon to the working class who could then enjoy mobility cheaply.

In terms of time spent programming in Emacs, my dominant languages would be C, C++, C#, Scheme, ELisp and Ruby.

Seems odd to leave out the language Emacs was written in.
Do they need to refactor much though? I would they could fix it in Chrome, and accomplish basically the same thing.

> On the other hand if my Windows app is complete in and of itself, but depends on a library which requires security updates, I will have to continuously release and distribute updates to it for the next 15 years (or however long it remains useful) even though the app itself is not changing.

Only if that library is not part of the base Windows platform, which already supplies a whole lot of things you'd typically need, cryptographic functions among them.

So yeah, if you depend on things that aren't part of the base platform it is your responsibility to update them. Or, and this is equally imporntant, not update them if doing so breaks your application. If you only depend on the platform then you don't really need to worry about it except in the rare case of an ABI break.

By contrast, breaking user space ABI on Linux is tradition, and there isn't really any such thing as a stable and consistent set of libraries you can depend on as a platform because of the ludicrous level of fragmentation.

> I'm currently working on a Windows plugin for an app, which requires linking to a ~20MB library, and also another library which in turn links to that same ~20MB library, but using an incompatible linker. The plugin is also for an application that uses that ~20MB library, distributed separately, and in turn many users install a standalone version of that library to use alongside the program. That's 4 copies of the library just for one application on Windows, and this library is common and most likely also distributed with many other apps on most users PCs. All of them will need separate updates.

I'm curious what this library could be. At that size and level of commonness, I can only imagine that it is Qt or GTK, or some other "portable" platform layer.

Another issue with spaced repetition is that it's not a teaching method - you just can't throw a pile of random quiz cards on people and tell them to keep flipping them until they get the answer right. That's the principle that too many language learning websites out there try to utilize.
>Or, to look at it scientifically, did the uptick in NYC deaths per week in March and April put the total deaths per week above, say, (average + 3 sigma) over the past couple of years.

Included in the 24,172 deaths were 13,831 (57%) laboratory-confirmed COVID-19–associated deaths and 5,048 (21%) probable COVID-19–associated deaths, leaving 5,293 (22%) excess deaths that were not identified as either laboratory-confirmed or probable COVID-19–associated deaths (Figure)."

> achieving parity with JetBrains in code completion/code searching?

The language server for Rust that I prefer was written, and is maintained by, a JetBrains employee. For C/C++ it's hard to beat ccls, and for C# there's omnisharp-roslyn which is, again, hard to beat.

Otherwise, with dumb-jump I get superior jump-to-definition than JetBrains.
To be clear I had sedatives. They just didn’t put me under.
I'd like to respectfully disagree.

A big part of math is building up your toolkit: when I see x, I should do y. Feynman famously made this a big part of how he approached quantum mechanics, saying that it was his toolkit that allowed him to solve problems others saw as impossible.

While the initial understanding can't be done with spaced repetition, remembering what's in your math toolkit and how to use it can very much be aided by spaced repetition. I've personally used this to great effect teaching people math through my spaced repetition app.

10 Reasons Why All This ‘Edge for Linux’ Coverage is a Total Farce
yes, and ... there are perceptual modes, cognitive modes and yes, learning, that goes on that is not in line with quick replies, sharp puzzle solving and responding to external cues in predictable ways - i.e. the signals that our species use to "check" on other participants. How do you know what new insights or creative solutions were brewing in those 'confused' moments? Your "simple tasks" imply a repetitive, mechanical style of problem solving. Yes, OK, but is that the only way to be ?

Your cautious use of authority in the situation is warrented, to your credit. But even if every thing mentioned is actually the case, from a creative or learning point of view, I am not convinced this is the mild disaster you paint it to be. There are other factors in intelligence and brain activity, and some of those are the fertile soil of emergent invention or personality and character change. Some tasks are not well suited for creative people, maybe you need less creative people to struggle less in meetings?
My take-away is this: Protocols should always be defined independently of any existing code.

The code-first approach only works well when you're doing something self-contained. Which, an API, almost by definition, is not.
I've thought of this but people also would need to use something durable, e.g. carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon.

You definitely don't want your battery pack shattering if you drop it.

The 3D printer world today seems to have an unfortunate love affair with PLA which is for both temperature and durability reasons a very bad choice for battery pack enclosures, and a bad choice for just about everything else. I'm really not sure how to get the word out there that PLA is outdated and should be deprecated for just about every 3D print use case. (Personally I use PETG For just about everything, but for a battery pack I'd probably want something carbon-fiber reinforced.)

> and can barely be bothered to enter the electric car market.

WHAT?

Volvo is I think the only traditional car producer that sells absolutely no ICE-only vehicles (all of them are at the very least "mild hybrid"). Its declared goal is to be electric-only, and they certainly seem to be making good progress on that. Sure, they're not Tesla, but I think it's unfair to compare them with Hummer.

[edit] here are their (public) goals: https://www.volvocars.com/intl/why-volvo/human-innovation/el...

- Since 2019, all cars electrified, all cars available in "plug in hybrid" version

- 2020, launch full electric vehicles (they did, XC40)

- Their goal is 50% plugin hybrid, 50% full electric by 2025
Here DevRel Team Uses Twitch and MSFT Flight Sim to Teach Geo Vis
Everyone assumes that cheap and reliable electric drivetrains and battery packs will shortly be a commodity, available to anyone in the 100 TWh/year volumes that are required to cover the world's road transportation needs.

I'm betting that this won't be the case until about two decades from now. Battery cell & pack production will be a strategic requirement for any vehicle manufacturer that wants to produce in volumes > 100,000 vehicles/year.

Also, the goal posts aren't fixed -- if your commodity battery packs cost 10% more than those the competition have access to, but are still expensive enough that they make up a substantial portion of the total vehicle cost, you won't be able to compete.

So even though battery cells will eventually reach a point where it's "easy" to make an EV, there will already be enough competitors that make it economically impossible for new entrants to compete.
Not sure what the percentage is, but it's not a small number.

Most northern US geographies experience at least a few days of -30°C (-22°F) weather every winter (even coastal places like NYC -- I remember it was freezing in lower Manhattan ca Feb 2016). However it's not as bad as it looks, as these temperatures are wind-chill temperatures and usually occur in the wee hours of the morning.

...ah yes...countless hours were spent on my MythBox, which mostly worked. Before my MythBox went out the door, it had four TV cards a couple of huge drives and a ton of memory. It was a very nice machine. Before that, I used the XBMC on a couple of Xboxes. I remember using Splinter Cell and a memory card, I think, to perform the hack to get it going. That was a lot of fun.

Fast forward to today, I was using a a little single board computer (le potato) to run Kodi. That worked okay but always required hacking to get it working with Netflix or other services. I finally gave up and bought the Nvidia Shield Pro. It works great and I haven't had a single (major) issue since buying it. It runs Android TV and allows me to install Kodi as an app. I still run Kodi along with many of the other apps. No longer do I have to run into the room and ssh into the box to get it to do something.

While I am happy with the Nvidia Shield, in my heart, I feel like I gave up some freedom. The early days of HTPC were about figuring out how to make things work without the infrustructure of any big companies (other than the $19.99/year I paid to schedulesdirect!). Just a community of people making things work they way they wanted them to work. Yep. I am a sell out (that is watching tv with a knowing smile on his face).

Most of the time when you 'get started on K8s', you get started by using a cluster that's setup by a provider of some sort - be it a cloud provider, a platform team in your company, or some prebundled bare metal Kubernetes distribution like K3s. In these cases, a you will most likely already be provided with, or at least recommended an Ingress Controller.

Setting up K8s clusters from scratch on bare metal (or even worse, VMs) is generally not something you should be doing, unless you really know what you're doing and have a good reason to. Think: going 'Linux from Scratch' instead of installing Ubuntu. K3s is not an alternative to K8s, it really just is a distribution for bare metal deployments. So is Rancher, OpenShift, etc.
Car dealers have to pay upfront for all the cars on their lot. They're not going to stock vehicles that don't sell. So naturally there aren't a lot of small cars on the lots because those cars just sit there losing money and depreciating in value.

Same reason it's nearly impossible to find a rear-wheel drive car in areas where it snows regularly. You can go further south and find plenty of RWD cars, but few northern dealerships will stock cars that can't be driven half of the year.

CRVs sell in large numbers so dealerships stock them. Fits don't sell in large numbers so dealers don't stock as many. It's not a conspiracy.
Most development these days is sitting on top of a stack of abstractions, tools, frameworks, and library dependencies of highly varying quality and stability that are a couple of dozen layers deep.

And it only gets worse from here; more and deeper abstractions are inevitable.
