The problem with analogies is that software is fundamentally new.

It's not debt where you can just pay it off after the launch. It's not a mess where a cleaning crew can have it taken care of in a day or a week. It's not a structure that will collapse because you added one too many storeys.

Software takes all the guardrails off of complexity. A swiss watch is a mechanical masterwork, but the complexity is limited because you have to fit the gears into a limited space. Everything else we deal with has some kind of pushback on complexity, with the possible exception of biological systems that take millions of years to change.

Software can grow in complexity with no obvious bound. You can tackle any one particular bug with an extra branch to say "don't let this happen". But a gigabyte of branches is a hell of a lot of complexity.

Software engineering is an attempt to wrangle that complexity through all kinds of strategies from "architecture" (another poor analogy) to type systems and OOP and FP and the actor model and everything else.

Technical "debt" is really the mismanagement of complexity. It's hard to understand the costs because the costs are inherently unknown unknowns. If you mismanage complexity, then all estimates are meaningless because at any point you could hit a never-ending fractal of problems. It might be completely intractable to add any significant new feature.

Developers want to ship features, call it a job well done and take some time off for Christmas. When working with technical debt, no matter how smart the developer is, it's really just luck of the draw who hits a fractal of problems and never finishes and who doesn't and converges on a solution (and when it's bad enough, the latter just never happens).
Yeah, it's interesting how similar our viewpoints are, including the stubborn itch to debate rhetoric. Have a good evening.
Unless those underlings are H-1B visa holders and cannot leave.
Getting stolen is the only thing I could think of, temperature and hive humidity aren't usually problems, the beekeeper doesn't control those things, the bees do. Maybe there are a few other things it could be used for but i'm not sure what.
I used to love riding the Greyhound, ... that is until that beheading in 2008. That was ..... that was ... messed up.

I used to ride that bus to Edmonton too. Hit a little too close to home for me. Never rode the Greyhound again after that. Now every drunk or drug addled person was suspect for me and Greyhounds had no shortage of them.

And ... yes I know the guy was a schizo ... but still.
Older beekeepers in NZ will tell you that until the late 1990s/early 00s, it wasn't even considered commercially viable and was only suitable as winter feed for bees, because all anybody wanted to buy was clover. There was not much space in the market for darker honeys from the NZ bush and scragglier hill country. This fit perfectly with the mindset of thousands of NZ farmers, who were diligently clearing the mānuka off their land because it was "scrub" that could be replaced with grass. Fast-forward to the year 2020 C.E. and Comvita is doing mānuka plantations...
Manuka honey is certainly not cheap
I believe it would be on you to interpret it more charitably. I'm unsure how you've found a way to take offense with words that aren't readily associated with malice.
I'm curious, how would they obfuscate code and how could you tell?
Is vim a roguelike? It uses the hjkl binds so I'd say yes.
Most commercial grade mānuka honey is more than pure enough to get medicinal benefits. That is what UMF is.
He is the manifestation of the problem then.
> If this detestable practice causes a lot of people go buy Brother printers, then HP will make less money, not more.

Except that Brother can do the same if they want. Also, lets me clear to talk about profit, and not sales, as "money they make" can be interpreted either way, and locking someone into your product is a classic way to increase profit. Even if brother sells twice as many printers, and makes three times as much money in profit on hardware sales, are they really better off than HP if HP is making even more money by locking people into ink sales and making 6x the hardware cost on ink?

Vilifying behavior doesn't incentivize companies to stop doing it, it incentivizes them to keep the public from learning about it or making it so they can't do anything about it once they do.

Capitalism and the free market are predicated on accurate information that people can assess in a timely manner. When that breaks down in some way, whether it be negative information being hidden until it's too late or information that is just very hard for the average person to acquire and assess, that's where the government comes in.

> They might be unit profitable, but it doesn't help if you move much fewer units.

It depends entirely on how much more profitable each unit might be, and how much having guaranteed ink sales can be used to leverage other opportunities, and other opportunities that may come up from having a captive customer base.
They are wind pollinated not bee pollinated. Maybe in theory bees could collect some pollen but it would be a stretch to get THC into honey.

If you're running Android 5.0, you also haven't benefited from updates that remove CAs that have since been shown to be untrustworthy. I think that's far worse than being unable to visit sites that use LetsEncrypt certificates.

It was really short-sighted of Google to make the system cert bundle something that can't be updated without a full OS update. There should be an OTA mechanism that allows it to be updated through the Play Store or through some other means that isn't reliant upon lazy device manufacturers.
Agreed, but what could someone do with a domain validation cert (as issued by LE) that would be so nefarious to damage IdenTrust's reputation?
You almost certainly don't need a web framework. Over the long term, it's easy to find yourself boxed in with how opinionated many of them are.

Instead, if you build on the standard library, you can compose your application from there- a good muxer, some standard middleware that are generic http.Handler's, a session library, etc.
Yeah there are a lot of honeys that are nice that you don't see that often.

"should I resign or should I get fired?"
Does IdenTrust have another root cert that has a later expiration date, that is also included in the trust store of OSes farther back than 2016? If so, why can't LetsEncrypt ask them to start cross-signing with a different root cert?

(Obviously IdenTrust is under no obligation to do so, but since they've done this much, it's not a stretch to hope they'd do more, even if they want to charge for it.)
You could even pass in the line number or range and the list command would only show that part of it.

Excerpt:

A man, 29-year old, with a history of alcohol abuse suffered from hypoxic-ischemic brain injury after choking on a piece of meat. After an initial, though slow neurological recovery, spontaneous movement and speech disappeared. The patient developed such a severe impairment of arousal that he required intensive auditory and tactile stimulation to maintain a wakeful state. No structural lesions were found using a computerized tomography (CT) scan to explain this secondary deterioration, and conventional EEG-recordings showed no evidence of epilepsy. After a stay in the ICU and neurology department, the patient was transferred to a nursing home without a formal diagnosis explaining his hyporesponsive state. A structural MRI at follow-up showed signs of diffuse atrophy without hydrocephalus.

Eight years passed without any further improvement and neurological follow-up. Eventually, a new nursing home physician with experience in hyporesponsive disorders took over the patient's treatment and performed a new neurological examination to find directions to improve his care. Upon clinical assessment, the now 37-year old patient seemed awake, but showed a complete lack of voluntary movement (akinesia) and absence of speech (mutism). More specifically, the patient showed no affective reactions, initiation of eating or drinking, and remained incontinent. Although the patient showed no signs of spontaneous speech or vocalization on request, he was able to respond to questions or commands with movements with a significant delay (usually a couple of seconds) and with evident ataxia and muscle rigidity. Despite his intact awareness, the patient's initiative was so severely impaired that he remained wheelchair-bound and entirely dependent on nursing care for all daily activities, including the need for enteral tube feeding.

It's incredible how little we still know about some things. They couldn't pin down a cause and this is apparently a significant detail as to why this patient was basically warehoused in a nursing home with no real treatment for literally years until they tried this new thing, which had some short-lived effects.

Yeah in my experience riding Greyhound in the Great Lakes late 2000s-mid 2010s it's not as bad as people made it out to be, if you got a newer bus. Service was frequent and cheap and I never faced a cancellation that wasn't due to snow. Though it may be because the New York - Chicago routes are heavily used.

I would rank it around the same as budget airlines like Spirit. Maybe better because there were rarely infants traveling IME.

Still no public transport beats a train for me, even Amtrak. You can't beat the space and comfort.
> I'm kind of bummed about how ToME was changed during the years, while I do understand the reasons. It's kind of foolish to build/sell game on IP you don't own.

It was obviously inspired by Angband and Moria, both of which were built on the same "IP."
This problem isn't unique to Let's Encrypt. Let's Encrypt is not the only entity with certificates signed by DST Root X3. And as these devices get older, more root certificates will expire. What happens when all of them expire?

What is unique about Let's Encrypt, is they may have a harder time getting cross-signed by a CA that will still have a valid root cert on these devices for a significant amount of time, because, as has been pointed out in other comments, Let's Encrypt is disrupting the CA industry.
Sometimes I wish I was smart enough to have gotten involved with things like neuroscience. I watched part of a lecture on certain brain functions a good while back, regarding the mechanics of various mental illnesses, and it was incredibly fascinating. Such a powerful organ that we simply can't understand well enough.
Your bizarre use of "malice" explains a lot about why you don't see how "slither" and "come back to life" are plainly uncharitable phraseology to associate with people dealing with tbi. If you can't figure that out, buddy, I don't know what to tell ya.
"For the input you can choose which type of protocol you want through the storage classes. At the output, let's say, you can do iSCSI, NVMe, and local. But the iSCSI work was there mostly for us to get us going because by default we simply use NVMe Over Fabrics or local..."

EDIT: Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm looking at Mayastor, but remembered this quote from a video I watched a while back suggesting that while iSCSI works, it is probably not the way to the most from this software.

This is supremely complicated, compared to the usual advice of just using bcrypt, and there's a lot of complexity left unmentioned, mainly IAM. You need to ensure:

1. DynamoDB IAM permissions are correct.

2. EC2 IAM is correct.

3. The nitroenclave attestation is securely written, so as to avoid proxy-attestations from the main VM (and other attacks)

4. KMS IAM permissions are correctly written, to avoid direct decryption.

The additional complexity of writing this beast, managing it, making sure that your setup remains maintainable and scalable might be worth it, but you need to compare it to the ROI:

>The salt for any hash cannot be accessed by the attacker to perform a brute-force attack.

Using bcrypt with a high cost factor pretty much guarantees the same.

I'd be more interested in seeing a SGX-like solution using NitroEnclaves. Perhaps something that solves the Signal Contact Discovery problem[0]?

Concentrated sugar is unhealthy in all but small doses.
A CEO who has only a non-technical education (such as an MBA) is VERY unusual for hardware or software companies that are successful. Often the CEO of this kind of company has at least some technical education, and usually the CEO has lots of it. After all, most of the decisions in such firms will have a technology component to them.

A few examples:

* Lisa Su (CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)): BS, MS, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from MIT, and is a fellow of IEEE

* Jensen Huang (CEO and founder of NVIDIA): BS in electrical engineering from Oregon State University, master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University

* C.C. Wei (CEO of TSMC): Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Yale University

* Simon Segars (CEO ARM): Bachelor of Engineering degree in electronic engineering at U of Sussex, Master of Science degree from the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester

* Sundar Pichai (Alphabet/Google CEO): Has an MBA, but also has an M.S. from Stanford University in materials science and engineering

* Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO): BS in Engineering, M.S. degree for designing and implementing a network, and PhD degree in EECS, with a dissertation about the problems of managing distributed software development and tools for solving these problems

* Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO): Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in electrical engineering and computer science from Princeton

* Mark Zuckerburg (Facebook CEO): In Harvard studied Psychology and Computer Science (did not earn a degree, but did study it for a few years and implemented the first version of Facebook).

* Tim Cook (Apple CEO): MBA from Duke University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from Auburn University.

* Satya Narayana Nadella (Microsoft CEO): Bachelor's in electrical engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology in Karnataka; M.S. in computer science at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee; MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business

* Reed Hastings (Netflix CEO): Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics (Bowdoin College), MS Computer Science (Stanford University)

I'm sure there are more examples, but I think that amply demonstrates my point.

The only other example I found of a no-tech CEO leading a tech company was Safra Catz (Oracle CEO), who has a bachelor of arts and a J.D. (Law School). My search wasn't exhaustive, but it was illuminating.

Now let's compare this to Bob Swan (Intel CEO), who received a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University at Buffalo School of Management in 1983 and his MBA from Binghamton University in 1985. No tech at all. Maybe Mr. Swan can do well anyway, but his lack of technical education is extremely unusual when compared to most other tech companies.
Surface ARM laptops have big.little so there must be some kind of support but I don't have any confidence that it's good. It will take MS a while to get it refined. People are probably better off disabling the little cores so threads don't slow down by getting accidentally scheduled on them.

I've been wanting to own a printer for several years, but I hold back on purchasing because I know there isn't a single consumer level printer company out there that doesn't have planned obsolescence built into their machines.

I hope to see a company emerge via Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or similar which offers an open source, maintainable, moddable, built-to-last printer. Similarly to how there is now a market for privacy-focused smartphones, I'd like to think that there are enough people out there who would fund such a company.

/pol/ is basically an agitprop prototyping board. Or at least it was circa 2016. Imo, the racism is incidental to a broad array of antisocial behaviors that are rewarded and reinforced by the culture of the board.

Check this out:

Zolpidem may cause serious or possibly life-threatening sleep behaviors. Some people who took zolpidem got out of bed and drove their cars, prepared and ate food, had sex, made phone calls, sleep-walked, or were involved in other activities while not fully awake. After they woke up, these people were unable to remember what they had done. Tell your doctor if you have ever had an unusual sleep behavior while taking zolpidem. Be sure that your family or caregiver are aware that these symptoms are serious and to call your doctor if they occur. Stop taking zolpidem and call your doctor right away if you find out that you have been driving or doing anything else unusual while you were sleeping.

I learned to program on a commodore 64 at age 7. There was a game were a gorilla threw an explosive banana on a city skyline. I think it was more a demo for the basic language than a game but it was awesome to 7 year old me when my dad let me use his work computer and play it. I learned that there was a file that controlled the game and it had easy to understand text in it like explosion_radius = 7. A few years later I wrote an "artificial intelligence" program that was just a few hundred if statements and input prompts on my dad's brand new 286. It asked you questions and then responded, carrying on a very basic conversation. Thanks basic (and dad)
That is impossible. TSMC will never build that fab.

TSMC is now the only reason Taiwan can count on the US coming to its defense when China invades. You can't put a price tag on that.
Haha. Just to attract more clicks
It’s a crap calculation but dementia years away is better than a life without proper sleep. You might not make it to those dementia years or skip it through some other process-like not triggering it. I’ve accepted similar trade offs with medication for chronic migraine (as in literally every day sometimes multiples per day). Functioning today definitely matters more than decades down the road if that’s what it truly takes.

It's on the income statement five years from now, not the one you have when you're making the decision today. The R&D paid for five years ago will commonly have been under different market conditions.

The question is, how do you cause your company to be the one getting more of a return?
You could avoid escaping the slashes; it will be easier to use if you do that. Note that even then, backslashes and quotation marks will need escaped; for these reasons, ordinary documents probably should not use JSON like this (plain text or text/gemini is probably better).

Hive theft has recently become an issue here in Ca.

CA being CA...hives used for pollination services are taxed differently than hives used for honey/orchard pollination. Insurance also treats them differently.

[..] “I couldn’t think. I kept messing up the count,” he told me, sitting at a friend’s kitchen table the next morning, shaking his head. He’d hardly slept. “Over half of them were gone, 160 boxes”—days before California’s almond bloom, the biggest and most lucrative pollination event in the world. “Those thieves stole about $70,000 from me,” he said, tallying the insects, equipment, and lost pollination rental fees.

Kuhnhenn, 39—tattooed, with a brown beard, and wearing a black “Right To Bear Arms” T-shirt and jeans—is a commercial beekeeper from Bantry, North Dakota. Like many others in his profession, he makes the bulk of his living from an annual pilgrimage to the Central Valley, where his bees help pollinate the state’s almond crop. In the off-season, back home on his ranch, Bulldog Honey Farms, he manufactures about 80 pounds of summer honey. Wintertime is almond season, and he’d been preparing for the bloom all year. His hives were ready to move into position in the almond orchards. Now was that time, and a bunch of his bees were gone.[..]
Let's mash this up with the evil HP business model that's on the front page. Kodak could have sold digital cameras that required Kodak DRMed flash cards that you would have to pay to erase and reuse. And maybe the photos could be further DRMed so you'd have to take the flash card to a certified Kodak lab.
