>PS4 was a jet engine yet it sold like hotcakes.

I don't really even understand how the noise even is an issue. The only time I actually hear my PS4 being loud is when I stop playing my games and put the console to rest mode, since I won't have any game audio at that point and the fans are still spinning. I've never heard the PS4 over my game audio.
Instant Elasticity in Cloud is a myth. If you think you are going to get 1k hosts just like that from AWS you will have an unpleasant experience.

I work at one of the decent size tech company and we are split between cloud and on prem. From our experience you have to inform AWS/GCP in advance (sometime way early) if you are looking to meaningfully increase capacity in zone/region.

Sure, auto scaling few hundreds of hosts may be possible but people who run a service which needs few hundreds of hosts run it directly on AWS, they will run it some kind of scheduler+resource manager which will have some kind of operational buffer anyway (as in you would already have those hosts so cloud elasticity is not a factor here).

Given the grammar mistakes, I'm assuming English is not your first language, and you aren't properly understanding what I'm saying. It's fine if you don't want to engage, but if you are going to engage, please do so in good faith, seeking to understand the other person as completely as possible, particularly if you are working against a language barrier. I had assumed you were being disingenuous/willfully ignorant before, but I doubt that now, my apologies for making that assumption.
1. Not currently, the only semi-decent offline OSM map for desktop OS is Gnome Maps. [0]

2. You can't configure the way maps appear on openstreetmap.org. You (or someone) will have to render the map tiles to display all names in English instead of the local language. [1]

3. If you mean keeping a personal list of map and route bookmarks, no. The primary reason to create an OSM account is to contribute data to the map.

Even though I wouldn't want the publisher to make the outline of my book for me, I have to say that Manning books were some of my favourites. Their structure is pretty good.
Wait, do you have a source for the statement that "masks protect others but not the wearer"?

Because I've seen that claim a lot. But never actually seen a scientific study making that claim.
[..] Made possible by a $30 million gift from Marc and Lynne Benioff, UC San Francisco on Wednesday announced the launch of the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, a new center in San Francisco that will conduct groundbreaking research on the root causes of homelessness and identify evidence-based solutions to prevent and end homelessness. [..]

“Groundbreaking research”.

How many can be sheltered with $30 million? I can create a self sustaining village for 500 homeless people with $30 million. The clowns have taken over the circus and moving into town.
The same benefit as any language you program in. Readability (not saying tailwind is hard, but it can be messy) is one of the most important things I look for.

Has anyone created a react library that is well maintained with the tailwind framework?
Thanks for the reply. Would you know what this type of service typically costs. Ballpark.
You're likely missing 2 things: 1) you probably haven't delved into Tailwind on a non-trivial project and 2) the nuanced difference is between infinite possibilities (style attribute) vs. discrete, "hard-coded" options (Tailwind classes). Think of strings vs. enum values when describing "types" in an application.
Remember the time those two new fathers were overheard making dongle jokes at a conference and the twitter outrage mob got them fired for it? Things like that worry me. They don't prevent me from doing my job, but I could understand how someone prone to anxiety might get hung up on it.
The service, though, is 'convenient access to the data [which is already out there]'. And once I've used it, I don't need it 100/sec just because that's how frequently people are using my downstream service to do something with some popular 'trending' podcast; I'm perfectly happy (and it would be a good practice to be!) caching it for some period, until I need the service again to conveniently see if the data that's already out there has changed.

I was wondering the same thing. This one is a paid $$$ API.
I second this! I have gone full circle myself. From Dreamweaver (have to start somewhere), hand coding, Bootstrap classes and modifying them, then naturally started using utility classes. Finally made the switch to Tailwind (felt like cheating on a lover, because I loved Bootstrap so much). I then went full on utility classes and low and behold, discovered @apply with nested @screen media queries and went right back to writing clean HTML with named CSS classes that use utility classes in a SCSS file. Its so cool to me, I want to tell everyone about it.
Please tell us more about these American friends. I'm an American and this "free therapy" is completely foreign to me.

On the one hand, if maximizing eyeballs is really the only reason you want to write a book, maybe it should just be a blog post.

Salary has very little to do with the value you create for the company. It's about how much they're willing to pay and how little you're willing to be paid. Now that everything is going remote, chances are higher that there's someone else living next door to you in the Rust Belt who was previously making $60k for a local company, who would be ecstatic to add Facebook to their resume at the same pay they've been making.
As a long-time OSM contributor (former editing software maintainer, former OSM Foundation board member yadda yadda) I like this piece, because it actually gets the "mutual aid" dynamic between corporate OSM and enthusiast OSM.

The two should not be opposed. Rather, the more people are exposed to OSM via Facebook, Apple and so on, the more enthusiast contributors OSM gets. The more rendering tech that Mapbox releases as open source, the more opportunities OSM enthusiasts have to build cool stuff. And so on.

We get a fair amount of sniffiness from some of the more corporate types, denigrating enthusiast contributions as just early-stages stuff that should now inevitably give way to AI-assisted machine mapping. So to read a more balanced view like this is genuinely refreshing.

_But_ it does require both sides to understand the bargain and play fair, and that doesn't happen as universally as I'd like. There are some among the enthusiast community who are unremittingly hostile to corporate actors beyond what anyone should have to put up with, salaried or not. To some degree that's inevitable when you have a project that attracts single-minded 15-year old Linux geeks, maybe, but that explains rather than excuses.

Conversely, corporate OSM too often acts in its short-term interests without a view to the wider good. Attribution is the most notorious example, where Facebook, among others, is basically flouting OSM's attribution requirements. This breaks the "more eyeballs, more contributors" compact. We also see it where corporate editors steamroller some of the nuance from individual contributors' edits (particularly logistics-driven), and I'll confess I'm not a great fan of Mapbox's recent decision to close the source of the dominant in-app renderer, though that's clearly their right to choose.

If this thoughtful article helps both "sides" realise that they're better working together than against each other, that would be a win.

> Accessibility is not a special case. In Q2 of 2018, sites using USWDS topped 1.4 billion pageviews. 4.5% [the portion of the population with some kind of color insensitivity] of 1.4 billion is around 60 million pageviews — when it comes to accessibility, thinking broadly and inclusively isn’t just a good idea, it’s our mission and responsibility.

It's honestly pretty cool to see this. I'm glad that the US government (or at least this one particular agency) takes accessibility so seriously.

Something very odd happens when I try to read this, on FF and Chrome. It lets me read a little, then flashes to the top and stops allowing me to scroll. I don't see any overlays about ccokies or subscriptions.

Yeah, I have had close friends go through code schools and it is kind of frustrating to hear them talk about their experiences. They get stuck, their instructor can't help, and ultimately they just kind of move on without understanding the subject matter. Then, three months later, they can't find a job after dumping their savings and quitting their previous careers.

There is zero potential here. Consoles/Game Stores are built around network effects. The more people have the same console the more high end games will be released on them. If you keep adding game stores and consoles then attention will be divided among all participants. This is the perfect recipe for an oligarchy with around 3-5 big players that each cater to a slightly different experience.

Oh and regarding the hardware... The next gen consoles completely smoke whatever tiny little GPU Apple has. It's probably the first time that consoles get hardware that is on par with the PC ecosystem instead of being one generation behind.

She didn't say it was inherently unsolvable, only that it was practically unsolvable. There's still the possibility that it could be solved with some other data that doesn't require observing black hole evaporation.

I think that's true. If larger software projects need more time and resources than small ones (when comparing effort per LOC), I am pretty sure that with books it is the same.

And I agree with the blank page... The more of the book is written, the easier it gets (I think).
I think you can blame compilation time for that. If you only use tailwind utility classes, there is no need for recompilation on every change but with @apply directive and external CSS file, the thing gets compiled every time you make a change.

I wonder if they can bypass compilation in development mode somehow.
They weren't arrogant enough.
I don't know anyone on the left that thinks that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. That doesn't mean that they think that it wasn't just about slavery - because it wasn't just about slavery, and even less just about the moral issues of slavery.

When people say that the US hasn't confronted its legacy of slavery and genocide, they mean things like personality cults of people that owned slaves, institutional racism - that persisted a hundred years after the civil war, not recognizing that there was a genocide of natives, and so on.

It's perfectly consistent to say that the Civil War was mainly about slavery (and, of course, also for economic reasons as an extension of that) and to say that the US still hasn't fully confronted its origins of slavery.

Also, there is still a lot of people in the US that are sympathetic to the Confederacy, even amongst the government - the Civil War didn't even go all the way.

This isn't saying that the bottom 95% are incurring massive debt or "living beyond means". It's just saying that if you give someone in the bottom 95% an extra $100, they'll likely spend some of that money. If you give Bezos or Gates or Buffett $100, it's such an inconsequential sum to them that it wouldn't change their spending
I've been using Linaria recently as a zero-runtime css-in-js library. You get a lot of benefits of css-in-js except it compiles it out of the js and into regular css class names and native css perf. Enjoying it so far as I was always cautious of the unneeded overhead of normal css-in-js solutions.
Tailwind themselves offer a paid one called TailwindUI[0].

So the distribution amongst vaccinated group cases seems to be roughly the same as on the control group. In my armchair viroligy ponderings I have come to the conclusion that this is the best possible outcome because both directions of possible distribution shifts could be bad news: if all detected vaccinated cases would be hard cases it would indicate that the vaccine has much lower efficacy than stated with those that require the hardest to be saved by a vaccine, whereas an overrepresentation of weak cases would suggest that much more weak cases get through, that the vaccine would not prevent infection very much but only keep an infection from becoming a heavy case (weak cases are very likely to remain undetected in both the vaccinated group and in the control group). A downshift in severity would be just fine for the vaccinated, but with a virus like SARS-COV-2 that is very good at asymptomatic spread it would not contribute much to herd immunity, increasing risk for the non-vaccinated (because the lucky ones would drop all precautions.

I would suggest spending any extra time and money you have on doing something fun and helpful. For example, learning to play poker, or chess. Both of those things will tangentially help you in your professional life, but are also enjoyable hobbies. I don't mean to limit it to strategy games. Almost anything that involves some learning will end up being beneficial at some level even if it is not technically professional development.

Not just CRL lists, but also OCSP stapling and caching can reduce load and dependency on OCSP infrastructure. I know who set up Apple's OCSP infrastructure, so I know it was done right.

Who is “we”? Always curious what remains of my field—I’ve worked in the storage and infrastructure industry for over 20 years. If you mean the industry as a whole, I simply disagree. The talent pipeline is not there anymore. You used to be able to get started without an Engineering degree by “getting in at the bottom.” Now somebody on this path will never get past power supply swaps because they’re just doing drudge work fed to them on a tablet (“replace disk 17 on row 23, rack 9, slot 4”—“oh, yup, there’s the yellow light”). If you do have the degree, there are a billion more profitable paths, and most take them.
Sure, but until such a time, the problem will remain unsolvable.
What you're leaving out is two candidates that have comparable qualifications. Thousands of positions that were once on-site only have expanded to the rest of the world. The candidate pool at every level just got increased. This can only drive wages down. Regardless if a company is targeting 99 percentile or 50 percentile developers, they will choose the candidate in the rural mid-west given equal qualifications.

Not really. At the point when the decision should be made there is no Down's person only a potential person.

Here in Norway genetic counselling is offered if the mother to be is above a certain age (sorry can't remember the number). So my wife and I had sessions with a genetic counsellor who explained the statistics related to birth defects. The decision is of course entirely up to the mother to be, and her partner, the counsellor in my experience is very careful not to sensationalise anything and was very neutral.

The counselling and tests are provided early enough that an abortion can be provided at low risk to the mother and before the foetus is viable.
