“Zhuangzi's wife died. When Huizu went to convey his condolences, he
found Zhuangzi sitting with his legs sprawled out, pounding on a tub and
singing. "You lived with her, she brought up your children and grew
old," said Huizu. "It should be enough simply not to weep at her
death. But pounding on a tub and singing - this is going too far, isn't
it?"

Zhuangzi said, "You're wrong. When she first died, do you think I didn't
grieve like anyone else? But I looked back to her beginning and the time
before she was born. Not only the time before she was born, but the time
before she had a body. Not only the time before she had a body, but the
time before she had a spirit. In the midst of the jumble of wonder and
mystery a change took place and she had a spirit. Another change and she
had a body. Another change and she was born. Now there's been another
change and she's dead. It's just like the progression of the four
seasons, spring, summer, fall, winter.

"Now she's going to lie down peacefully in a vast room. If I were to
follow after her bawling and sobbing, it would show that I don't
understand anything about fate. So I stopped.”

In 2013, Tony invited me and other entrepreneurs to Vegas to give us his tour of what he and his team were doing to the Downtown area to revive it. It was amazing. But what really has always stuck with me is how fresh Tony’s ideas and thinking were. He looked past a ton of criticism and naysayers to see his new ideas come to life. Tony had the courage to try new thing after new thing. Often with great results. I’ve been back to the downtown area of Las Vegas, and the impact he’s had, whether it perfectly met his vision or not, has been remarkably improved. It’s 100 times safer. Employs a ton of people for non-gambling related things. And is a huge net improvement. I’m at a loss this morning. I didn’t know Tony very well, but the few convos I’ve had with him left me inspired to learn about something new or look at something differently. He was incredibly generous with his time and resources. I encourage all of you to go deep into the legacy Tony left behind. There’s important lessons and advice all over his work and life.

With apologies to Mr. Godwin, I think it's simply that Germans have (in general) learned what is possible when data is centralized and administered in one place, easily accessible.

Additionally, I find an strange sense of pride (seeing as, again, I'm not German) that there are still some people who still live to fight all this data-collection and privacy invasion. I always look forward to, e.g. every year's C3 talks.

Of course now I have to apply a standard disclaimer. In my other comments, I hopefully tried not to make them AWS specific and lumped AWS, Azure and GCP together. I do work for AWS as a consultant. But I mostly do custom development. I don’t deal with networking infrastructure outside of my own projects that I deliver to customers. All opinions are my own.

I have eight and soon nine AWS certifications I’ve only ever paid for one out of pocket. The companies I worked for paid for the rest. But I would say that the certifications prove nothing as far whether you are proficient in the certain skillset.

I got my first certification without ever logging into the console. The only reason I got any of the certs (besides the 7th one that was required when I was hired at AWS ProServe) was to have a guided learning path with a goal at the end. The most they do is let you know what you don’t know and the “what” but not the “how”. I am consistently disappointed about how easy the certifications are compared to what I really need to know on the job.

How can you get a developers certification from AWS and not know the first thing about development? How can you get a database certification and not know any of the query languages involved? I needed to learn about ElasticSearch a couple of years ago for a project. I bought a course from Udemy that was 20 hours long to learn the ends and outs of it and they even admitted glossing over some advanced parts.

You can take a 14 hour course in AWS Data Analytics and pass the course. The exam consists of Redshift (an OLAP database), ElasticSearch, various Apache frameworks (Hive, Presto, Spark, Hadoop, HBase, HUE, etc.), Kinesis (stream processing), Glue (Serverless PySpark infrastructure) and a few other services. Do you think that certification would qualify anyone to actually implement any project on AWS? Should I have hired someone based on the certification when I was in the real world?

While I disagree with all of the posters who say stuff like because the used Digital Ocean for their Todo app that they “know AWS”, I would hire a developer with no AWS experience before I would hire someone with an AWS Developers certification with no development experience. The same is true for all of the other specialities - Databases, Data Analytics, ML/AI, etc.

Except for infrastructure and networking. I’ve seen far too many on prem network folks who got one certification and called themselves “consultants” and ended up costing the company more because they didn’t know how to leverage services being offered.

Are you from the US? If so do you agree with US gun culture which "2017, [...] the [the CDC's] National Center for Health Statistics reports that gun deaths reached their highest level since 1968, with 39,773 deaths by firearm" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_Sta...)

One person paralysed by a contaminant (not heroin itself) = bad, but tens of thousands of deaths otherwise = ok.

I agree with laws and social restrictions if they are good ones that reflect the proportionate level of harm.

But you know this will go nowhere, unlikely you'll reply but this'll get downvoted because people aren't willing to face up to maybe being wrong.

Edit: none of this is about drugs or guns. It's about common sense and thinking for yourself. Drugs particularly are where aberrations in these show up.

Snark aside, this is obviously not a silver bullet. First reason that comes to mind: if you delete a file on the file system, the disk space can be reclaimed instantly. But if you delete a file in an archive, you must either rewrite the archive (since you can't "move" bytes in a file), or accept that disk space will be wasted.

I'm in a similar situation but with less experience than you. After a couple of years of being a data scientist I'm realising that I enjoy building stuff a lot more than the other aspects of the job. So for my next job I'm looking for an ML engineer position - that way I can do more of the kind of work I like but it also means that I can leverage my existing knowledge and experience and I don't have to start from scratch.

Of course, I don't think that counts as a murder- nobody intended to kill the victim, and no single person's actions resulted in the victim's death.

Sayers also wrote a short story for Six Against the Yard, a collection in which crime writers described their "perfect murder" and a recently-retired Detective Superintendent described how he would have solved them. Sayers' "murder" was the only one which he said he couldn't have- because he can't be sure that a murder was, in fact, committed.
About the questions that has changed over time. I see them as questions that depend on the context rather than experience and/or time.

If you're trying to build something many people should be able to build upon, you as a developer should be easily replaceable and you want to have a high hiring pool with mid-level developers (like how the typical startup thinks), then your first questions are more appropriate.

But if you're looking to build something for fun, to scratch your own itch or trying to do something more innovative than a CRUD app, then perhaps your latter questions are more appropriate.
> Back in time when things were easy, things “just worked” right out of the box and you did not have to configure much

To which my comment makes a number of counter points. You had to configure a lot. And things rarely just worked. And if they worked, they were rarely consistent.

The article is an interesting read, but on nearly every point of it, I prefer today’s computers to any of the past. The exception being his point about apps requiring internet access and being generally hard to keep in multiple copy form.
The file format problem is that the file defines the format. Obsession with file name extensions defining format soon crumble; the .001, .002, ... being a clear case of “You know not the f- of which you speak.”

To “solve” file format, you may need a lot of data beyond the file provided. Does the file come from a floppy disk labeled VisiCalc? Did you read the magnetic media correctly? Let’s say you did. You look at a file and then try, the best you can, to determine what it is, maybe given a lot of information about how the computer that read the file interpreted it.

Sure, if you’re talking about more modern files, maybe the filename’s extension is a good hint.

Some files contain metadata headers or footers. They maybe have multiple layers of them. That metadata may have evolved. Perhaps it wasn’t versioned.

Files were stored on cassette which could be listened to as audio or interpreted as containing file definitions.

What if the cassette were warped in the heat? You could still recover the file partially or fully if you knew that you could speed up portions of the recovered audio, perhaps with additional pitch-bending and error-correction. Could you do that without any background information? Maybe, but it may take much more effort.
It stands to reason that user of the service who has agreed to the TOS that governs APNS and App Store sending unique device hardware serial numbers to Apple has also (legally) consented to IP address collection. IP addresses are less unique identifiers than globally unique device serials, so I assume Apple has already secured what passes for "consent" under the relevant privacy laws.

In this particular case it's excusable as English is the Lingua Franca of science today. Used to be Latin, then French and German, now it's English. No big deal IMO.

In fact I kind of like the way this is going since it represents a fantastic opportunity for NL researchers to stand out simply by publishing research and corpora focused exclusively on low-resource languages and non-English/Mandarin in general.

It is also important to note that most of the ML research in the field is pretty much language agnostic and is concerned with general concept such as efficient en-/decoding [1], training methods [2], and even stealing pre-trained weights from APIs (like GPT-2 or even 3) without paying for training [3] :)

It's just easier to get your hands on and verify English corpora, results and pre-trained models for reproducibility than say Mongolian or Gaelic so that's a factor, too.

You reminded me of an interesting feature in System 6: it was possible to turn multitasking off. I found the feature useful when it came down to crunch time in my university studies. Just as people today talk about disconnecting from the Internet when they need a distraction free work environment, I disabled multitasking.

As for System 6 being the pinnacle, I have a hard time deciding between System 6 and System 7.1. The early versions of System 7 added a few quality-of-life improvements while maintaining most of the simplicity of System 6. System 7.5 (or maybe System 7.1 Pro) is when the Macintosh System Software went off the rails in my opinion.

I never said kubernetes wasn’t supported on Linux. I said docker on Linux does not have that as a feature out of the box.

Go install docker desktop for Mac. Click a preference and you have kubernetes.

That is not the case in Linux. Can you install kind? Sure. Can you install minikube? Sure.

And define support? To give you a simple example, in minikube on Linux how do you make local images built by docker available in minikube?

https://hasura.io/blog/sharing-a-local-registry-for-minikube...

It involves using dockerhub (rate limited) or running another local registry that you retag and push.

How about docker for Mac? No changes required at all, if the image is in the docker registry, it works in kubernetes

This is the exact type of retagging non sense that I hate in a dev workflow and is completely hacky.

So I solved it myself using k3s but I don’t think I have seen anyone else tackle it on Linux. Especially not minikube or kind

> How good are the certificates though in assessing actual skill vs test taking ability?

I am a consultant at AWS, I have eight (soon nine) certifications I work with many industry experts. I would say they aren’t good at all at assessing someone’s skill. At most if you take them seriously and go beyond the crash courses they help you be conversant on the services at the high level and on areas that you already know they may help fill in knowledge gaps. My entire purpose of getting the certs was to know what s

For every single service I’ve had to use with AWS, I’ve had to dig into the documentation, the APIs, blog posts, Udemy courses for AWS’s managed versions of open source software like ElasticSearch, etc.

In some situations abstracts serve as bibliographic metadata rather than a summary of the content. Examples includes cases where the content is hidden behind a paywall or, in defence, when a paper's content is classified in some way but the existence of the paper itself is not. In both cases, the abstract may help you decide whether it is worth accessing the full paper, but on its own won't give you an answer. E.g "we studied X" but not "and concluded Y".

Obviously abstracts can include a content summary as well as bibliographic metadata, but not all do.
