Control systems engineer spans a lot of ground, with computing a part, but so many things including human factors.
It's truly a shame. Still to date nothing beats the ease of use of Flash for creative developers. Adobe Animate is alright but the export to HTML5 is horrible, full of bugs. So much potential there.

Fair enough. Though, they spent the time and money to implement the geo blocking and to consult lawyers.
Since the 80's? Much further back: 1923 to be precise.
You’ve put that quite beautifully. I was trying to resolve something that I’ve learned from competing at a high level in a skill based adversarial sport (sailing), with the fact that it’s trivially obvious that just believing that you can do something doesn’t mean that you can.

What I learnt over the years as I improved at sailing was that you take decisions to consolidate your position and eliminate risk when you reach the place you believe you should be in the field. You don’t attack any more because you believe that if you do, you will probably lose what you have. In this situation, the allegory is in fact true.

If you want to win a race, you have to make race winning decisions and you won’t do that unless you believe you can win the race.

So why don’t you just do that, and then you’ll start winning?

Because you won’t and you shouldn’t. You should only make “race winning” decisions if you actually have the ability to win.

So how do you know when you should “believe”? That in itself is an ability you have to learn. In order to win you need to have the ability or skill, and you have to recognise a situation where your ability or skill means you can win. This is what the “believing” really is. Then you have to successfully execute and ride through the things you cannot control (the part that luck always plays).
Stallman gets a lot of hate, but time keeps vindicating him. As software gets used more and more in all kind of devices, the FSF freedoms are becoming the modern consumer rights. Without having the source code of your tractor's firmware, you depend on John Deere for support. Free software is required in order to truly own devices.

That's silly. 100% of people will never agree to it eg. people who are in prison aren't agreeing to it.
What a strange sentence:

"When IBM released its game-changing System/360 in 1964, the head of the development team, Frederick Brooks, decided that its punch cards and printers were not yet capable of using ASCII."

Brooks decided or just stated a state of reality that currently available peripherial hardware is uncapable of using newly proposed standard ?

Also how - as usual - convenient, that IBM keeped machines uncompatibe while proposing others to make their systems accesible :>

Also 'ASCII: Origins' is more fashionable - more like what movies do :)
Richard Dawkins, in either ‘The Selfish Gene’ or ‘The Blind Watchmaker’, describes the arms race between bats and insects. Quite a fascinating affair—just bats' own evolution is intriguing: how do they differentiate between their own and others' echolocation signals? Well they have a ‘code’ in the signal specific to each specimen. And then, insects ‘learn’ to mimic bats' signals so a bat thinks it's another bat there and not a dinner. Etc etc.

This discovery might be at least the third one this year in this same field, if another one mentioned in the article isn't the one I've seen on HN.
work

I kid you not, there's no better mechanism than that.

In a job you suddenly are part of a whole, the motivation is regular and smooth (somehow).

On your own, unless you have everything in check (rare I assume since we're all here to talk about our struggles), it will be a long uphill battle.
If that 30% includes the rent and maintenance of your store, as well as the checkout employees. And imagine that you are selling goods with almost zero marginal cost. Does it still sound that bad?

Anyway, metaphors fail to help understand this situation in my opinion.
Hmm, seems like I am somewhere in the middle - my blog is run on a custom static site generator and I have around 50 blog posts, which are mostly technical how-to content, including of course one on writing your own static site generator :)

Indeed. The only time you remove the wheel is to replace the tires.
Yes:

"A vector clock is a data structure used for determining the partial ordering of events in a distributed system and detecting causality violations."
-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_clock

with a modification: "In 2008, Almeida et al. introduced Interval Tree Clocks. This mechanism generalizes Vector Clocks and allows operation in dynamic environments when the identities and number of processes in the computation is not known in advance."
Maybe I should clarify the "most developers I know".

They can put default APN configurations in the SIM card that (by default) would have different fares for mobile usage and tethered/hotspot usage. They cannot block you from changing the configuration, but I think in theory they could terminate the contract if you did so. In practice 99% people got used to buying both a "computer SIM" (which is typically sold with a cheap Huawei USB modem) and a "phone SIM", so the providers that do differentiate that way don't bother going after violations.
Social mask that you can pair with mobile
The only internal geared hubs that lose 15% of energy are the ones that are constant variable ratio drives. The rest of them are extremely good and lose < 3% power, on par with a derailleur system that has seen regular maintenance, a bit worse than a derailleur in perfect (new!) shape.
This is practically me
The question is who do you want to have access to your data. I am fairly confident that the only reason Huawei is such a threat to US national security is that it will lose its power to go through your data. It is far difficult to have Huawei doing something dirty in Europe or US. Store your data with western companies if you are in China, and store your data with Chinese/Russian companies if you are in Europe seems to be the least worse idea to me XD
Tethering and hotspot traffic is still marked with a different APN type ("dun").
An executable can’t control aliases of it AFAIK, that’s all up to your shell.
> In Europe carriers never had any say about what functionality a mobile device offered.

not really. a few years ago, before the eu roaming was made cheap, i bought a sim from wind operator in italy, and it was blocking my tethered traffic. i had to "fix" my ttl for it to work

Worked as a dev past six years(in sweden) in various positions, couldnt stand it anymore. To much time wasted infront a screen, days passing, not feeling alive. I was a decent dev but as the time went by, my passion just blew away and i didnt care anymore. I had to make a change because this trade made me unhappy. So I decided to go with something more practical. Im currently back in school doing HVAC/electrical stuff and it feels good. It was a hard decision leaving a good salary/security/status and be back at zero. But I feel better and its fun to learn something new/doing stuff in the real world. Life is short and fragile, spend it doing somehing worthwhile, for you!
As someone who is in another high growth start up, one of the fastest in the world (not hyperbole) I wish I could upvote this specific comment more: "The problem with growing as fast as Amazon has is that their talent bar couldn’t keep up. I can’t imagine this design being okay 10 years ago when I was there."

I came to the realization about a year ago, that there are definitely talent tiers and unless you are working super hard at recruiting and paying top dollar, the cliff edge approaches fast and is very very steep.
If you use Qt it will use your system theme and colours no matter which OS you run your app on, unless you (the dev) overrides the style manually. I'd believe that's the case for wxWidgets too.
no, im thinking about noscript, the html tag.

if you disable 3rd party javascript, (using ublock origin or others) noscript tags don't trigger because scripting is still technically turned on and noscript tags aren't assigned to the script they compliment so the browser has no way of knowing which ones to run or not run in the 3rd party situation.
Correct. As is { 0 | n } for any n > 1.
Just FYI that investment is quite dated. Modern advice is to invest heavily in stocks--even as much as 90% stocks, 10% bonds--then withdraw no more than 4% of the original balance, corrected for inflation, per year. Historical back-testing as well as stochastic modeling shows that in this way you can expect funds to remain indefinitely.

(The details are a bit more complicated, and you might want to choose a smaller percentage like 3.5% or 3% if you are retiring at a younger age.)
Here's the summary on how he did it :

- Search and list all FLV files on the disk.

- Search for all FLV file signatures on raw disk.

- For each known file on the disk, compute md5 of the first 512 bytes.

- For each FLV file signature found on raw disk exclude those that match any of the known files using those md5 values.

- That leads to only 5 files remaining.

- The original file was known to be 1.6 GB. Read 1.8 GB serially from raw disk starting from file signature and save those.

- One of these is your file.

That will work if your file isn't fragmented on the disk, I guess.

I disagree both about the adoption rate and the superiority of the tech. It only works if the frame can be opened up and this means the whole bike has to be designed around the belt drive system. It's a slow thing to do and quite expensive, whereas replacing a regular chain takes less than five minutes (it's a bit more messy though).
8 speed is a bit delicate to shift under load, if you plan on doing that a lot a 5 speed would be a better choice (also better for e-bikes, it will deal much better with the torque).
Both Apple and Google are currently being sued for this by Epic.
Thanks for this detailed explanation. It’s really strange and I’m so glad this practice didn’t take hold where I’m from. Granted, mobile data is really expensive here so it probably wouldn’t make sense, anyways.

"a much less competitive business environment"

Which business environment? The competitiveness is absolutely not universal across all markets in the US. There are plenty of markets that aren't competitive at all.
No it doesn't. I use Firefox with ubo and Brave (without extensions) for work and I notice no "running circles around" by either browser. While I'm sure brave's native blocking is faster, in human perception the time difference is essentially nil.
This looks great!

Not doing anything in particular was also a lot of fun in GTA games.

The open is weak (mutable pods is considered an inherent anti-pattern in k8s), but I think he’s got a lot of good points about networking.

Every time I look at k8s networking seriously it gives me great pause on whether I should continue to run such a complex system. IPv6+EtcD would solve this matter really well.

As an immigrant to the US, yeah, American exceptionalism. Exceptionalism is defined as "unusual; not typical".

America is not usual or typical. So yeah, it's exceptional.

It's amazing as an immigrant to come here and find out there are plenty of Americans that take it all for granted.

Why do you think so many people want to come to the US?
This has been stated over and over again, what next? In the past iq was used to justify desirables/undesirables and to some is still used to influence policy or opinion pertaining to resources. Speculation of ubiquitous ai and neural implants on augmented human intelligence is never discussed, and so the (contemporary boundaries of the) topic remains circular between iq skeptics and metricist. At the end of the day, when it comes to the topic it hasn't moved much at all.
Unsurprising to see such outages also tickling bugs/issues in the fallback behavior of dependent services that were intended to tolerate outages. There must be some classic law of cascading failures caused by error handling code :)

> Amazon Cognito uses Kinesis Data Streams [...] this information streaming is designed to be best effort. Data is buffered locally, allowing the service to cope with latency or short periods of unavailability of the Kinesis Data Stream service. Unfortunately, the prolonged issue with Kinesis Data Streams triggered a latent bug in this buffering code that caused the Cognito webservers to begin to block on the backlogged Kinesis Data Stream buffers.

> And second, Lambda saw impact. Lambda function invocations currently require publishing metric data to CloudWatch as part of invocation. Lambda metric agents are designed to buffer metric data locally for a period of time if CloudWatch is unavailable. Starting at 6:15 AM PST, this buffering of metric data grew to the point that it caused memory contention on the underlying service hosts used for Lambda function invocations, resulting in increased error rates.
-Not only was the plant built more or less on the seafront, the sheds housing the backup generators were quite literally built on the quay stones.

In hindsight (which, after all, is 20/20), it would have made sense to keep a set of backup generators on the top of the reactor building, just in case a tsunami came a-knocking.

With $3m invested in a FIRE-recommended portfolio you can withdraw $10k/mo indefinitely without any work at all. I don't think this is as good an opportunity as you are presenting.

Yes, ZFS makes this very easy. It's no problem to snapshot an entire filesystem with billions of files every 5 minutes from cron.

Then the OP could have done:

zfs-restore-file recording-16679.flv

With `zfs-restore-file` as the following script (for example only, I hacked it up in a few minutes) :

#!/bin/bash

FILE="$1"
FULL_PATH=$(realpath "$FILE")
DATASET=$(findmnt --target="${FULL_PATH}" --output=SOURCE --noheadings)
MOUNT_POINT=$(findmnt --source="${DATASET}" --output=TARGET --noheadings | head -n1)
CURRENT_INODE="$(stat -c %i "${FULL_PATH}")"
RELATIVE_PATH="$(echo "$FULL_PATH" | sed "s|^${MOUNT_POINT}/||")"

# iterate all snapshots of the dataset containing the file, most recent first
for SNAPSHOT in $( \
zfs list -t snapshot -H -p -o creation,name "${DATASET}" \
| sort -rn | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d@ -f2 \
) ; do
echo "snapshot $DATASET @ $SNAPSHOT"
SNAPSHOT_FILE="${MOUNT_POINT}/.zfs/snapshot/${SNAPSHOT}/${RELATIVE_PATH}"
SNAPSHOT_FILE_INODE="$(stat -c %i "${SNAPSHOT_FILE}")"
if [ "${SNAPSHOT_FILE_INODE}" == "" ] || [ "${SNAPSHOT_FILE_INODE}" == "${CURRENT_INODE}" ] ; then
continue
fi
echo "found the same named file with a different inode:"
ls -l "${SNAPSHOT_FILE}"
cp -i "${SNAPSHOT_FILE}" "${FILE}"
break
done

If OP didn't change the inode (overwritten with new content) then you could make another script that compares size/hash of the file, or manually specify a time of a snapshot to restore.
Every bank either is a subsidiary of a US bank, or has a US subsidiary, or has a partnership of some sort that's close enough to do business that involves the US. So if the US wants to push a bank around, it can.

Of course, such pushes do not generate goodwill and friendship.
could probably still hunt deer there today.

we're the outliers. pick any two random people from that span of millennia, and they will have an understanding between them that is impenetrable to us.
But at the same time I do think the golden age of US is past, there are greater opportunities in the third world, many ideas that are simply not cost viable in the US, is eminently feasible in a 3rd world country possibly at a fraction of the cost, not to mention there being far too many unexploited opportunities in these places and many of these are going to be bigger markets than the US in short period of time.

UBI comes from taxes collected from across the state/country. It’s not a private industry thing.

There’s no way any company would pay wages to employees under the premise that it will keep their company afloat because they’ll spend the money they just gave them on their goods. Why not just not give them the money in the first place.

Sounds like a useful extension that I might have liked to try (I'm using Chrome). But I'm wary of extensions that I need to load from other locations than the Google webstore - the webstore at least provides some guarantee against abusive extensions (or that become abusive after a while).

You say that the it "infuriates you" that Google demands payment for adding an extension to the Chrome web store - but it's only $5 FCOL [0]. Their motivation is purportedly to stave abusive extensions, and it might actually work like that to some degree (as well as contributing minimally to their cashflow). But regardless, $5 for an otherwise free service that gives you a much farther reach than your current method - might be worth it.

I thought the article never really stated in cleartext (sic) what Omnisec's actual misdeed was. Have I gotten it right?:

- Omnisec sold devices it claimed would encrypt stuff.

- The company was really just the CIA.

- Omnisec's devices would encrypt the data in such a way that the CIA could decrypt it.

Just curious..what is it you find lacking about Alfred? I swapped a few years ago when QS was having some wobbles with releases keeping up with Mac OS releases. I forget what the exact issues were at the time. It took about 3 months to find and replace my QS workflow but now I love it.
I was thinking exactly this too.

And found quite a few other articles about glacier archaeology, like this one: https://climateaudit.org/2005/11/18/archaeological-finds-in-...

1. Ask for a raise. Your company likely has some kind of review cycle and there are times in the financial year when employees can get a pay review. Make sure that before that moment comes around you've had a conversation about salary with your direct manager and you're on track to get a raise. Since you know other people's salaries, you can ask for specific numbers instead of asking for a raise in the general sense.

2. Don't focus too much on other people when you're having these conversations. Since you're performing well and have never had a compensation review, it's reasonable to just ask for a raise even without the knowledge of other people's salaries. It might be reasonable to say that you're looking for a salary that's in line with what the rest of the team is making (but I certainly wouldn't start with this). Whatever you do, don't discuss other people's deservingness and don't badmouth anyone.

3. Since you're comfortable financially, you always have the option to quit and find another job. For the same reason you might be less likely to quit because of salary. So if you don't get what you want, it really comes down to your personal priorities about what aspects of your job matter to you and no one else can really give you good advice on that.
At that point, wouldn’t you buy a double Threadripper machine to speed it up? If you sit around for a few hours that is a lot of time wasted.
if I were to guess, I think that we have shared similar minds at some point. if you don't like software development for software developments sake, then I would suggest branching into other fields for at least a little while. people need programmers for medical analysis and hardware development, analyzing telescope data, ocean eddies and currents, migratory patterns of species, robotics, citizen science projects, social justice projects, human trafficking...

there are a bunch of topics that are not software development for the sake of software development. there are a bunch of topics that aren't browsers speed optimization and advertising. you won't make a bunch of money if you leave to these other topics, and often you will not be treated like the most valuable person in the room, but there's a lot of value in adopting these other roles
