Quote: "This is where many people will tell me “Okay but not everything works outside the box”, true! but which OS works outside the box these days anyway? Windows is still a nightmare,..."

Well, Windows pretty much works out of the box. I mean it's the main main selling point. This and backward compatibility. Which informs me the article's author instead of getting the information first hand relied on rumors. That's a shame. IMO better say it right out "I hate Windows and I boycott Microsoft" rather than spelling lies.

Taking a look at the template repo, it seems to be just CloudFormation at the moment: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-proton-sample-templates/t...

I guess I won't be trying this until they support CDK.

For a small number of services, I find code template with Pulumi/CDK a much developer experience, rather than dealing CloudFormation templates directly

Just run ZeroTier on the Mini and join it to your network. That's what we do. Of course we are ZeroTier so this is how we roll. Anything with an Internet connection is in "the cloud." We just donate all its spare cycles to Boinc. :)

Pay by the second would perhaps be preferable but unless I am reading this wrong you have to pay by the hour and it's relatively expensive.
The FAQ has a bit more information: https://aws.amazon.com/proton/faqs/

And by "a bit" I mean I'm still wondering what exactly this service provides.

Is this high-level management and grouping for CloudFormation templates?

>Well, every time there is a bug fix in one of your dependencies you/your distribution would have to recompile everything that depends on it

Well no, I could opt not to apply the bug fix if it isn't affecting me. This again is sort of serve mentality, where of course you want to get a bug fix in as quick as possible in case it is a security issue. A desktop user, maybe you don't.

>After all, even nowadays application authors could provide static packages, but many don't do it.

Right, and really what I would like is for application authors to just static link more, more often, on linux. Or at the least ship their programs with installers that apply the needed deps if they are not already there! That the OS itself is statically linked doesn't really matter, but perhaps it would inspire an ecosystem that does this.

> I like Arch Linux best at the moment

Probably suggest arch linux to someone complaining about having to track down dependencies does not make sense, since such a person is more interested in the OS just working rather than making the OS a bit of a hobby that that they want to customize.

Which, is why I mostly use windows.
Oh. But surely carbon offsets in the best scenario are an accounting gimmick, and inappropriate for a case like this where you want to compare truly CO2 free production of a resource. If a mine releases CO2, but doesn't actually remove it, then it's still released.

It sounds to me like I should set up a giant CO2 production factory and then people can pay me not to run it. Great business. The people paying me are still pumping CO2 into the atmosphere but greenwashed with a carbon offset gimmick.

To be fair, a 996 schedule (9am-9pm, 6 days a week, 72 hours/week) doesn't leave a great deal of time for, e.g., hiking, biking, walks in the park. I suspect the trouble is less a paucity of imagination than a paucity of time.
It still require specific license to use the virtualization (Hyper-V). So far as I am aware, Windows 10 Home license cannot run hyper-v. It needs Pro, Education, or Enterprise license to use the feature (mobile license don't have this feature). Likely nix23 upgraded to Win10 Pro from Win10 Home for this reason.

Causal | Full-stack Engineer | London (UK) or REMOTE | https://causal.app
Causal is a human way to think and communicate with numbers. Our product is a number-crunching tool that's a bit like a spreadsheet and a bit like programming. Our vision is to be the de-facto way for anyone to work with numbers on a computer.

We're very early stage, but well-funded by some great investors across the US and Europe, and ready to make our first hire.

---

Role: Full-stack Engineer

* Our stack is React/Redux/TypeScript on the frontend, and Node/TypeScript on the backend. We're looking for engineers who have experience with these technologies.

* Our product primarily consists of a web UI on the frontend and a computation engine on the backend. The product needs a low floor and a high ceiling — it should be simple enough for anyone to get started with, but powerful enough for really complex use-cases. Performance is paramount on both the frontend and backend.

* Our next big project is a rewrite of the computation engine to efficiently handle models with up to 1M nodes. The challenge is to show the user instant results (frontend) when possible and run complex operations (Monte-Carlo simulations, API calls) on the backend. We also want to improve our multi dimensional modelling capabilities which leads to various UI/UX challenges.

* Our roadmap contains more projects we're planning to work on: https://www.notion.so/00f79272b4ec4d6790ec98120788d850.

I unfortunately agree, but windows makes it extremely easy to wipe it and start over in 1 click.

I own 2 windows 10 laptops, I only had to click the button 2 times in my life.

It's like windows realized hardware companies were going to do this and wanted to make it easy to defeat them.
OpenBSD feels more cohesively designed, in my experience. If you have an older ThinkPad lying around, it should be a dead-easy installation and a pretty easy setup process. Back when I used it on a laptop, I liked its design but I didn't find it practical for my workflow compared to Linux and macOS.
Reio | Backend engineer/UI/UX Designer | UK | Remote or Onsite | reiohr.com

Reio lets businesses manage employees, payroll, and create efficient shift combinations.

Django/Python, Postgres, AWS, React. We are 5 people, so everyone gets to do pretty much everything. All of us code (to varying degrees). One requirement, as well as CS ability, everyone has to be in the UK, if remote, as we do meet in the office occasionally and it is better for time zones, team building, given the size of the company.

I agree 100%. While it does take me a day or two to set up a new Mac, 99% of that time is downloading IDEs and configuring them the bizarro way I like them configured.
I think people see python as accessible but not very fast. Then they see Go which is fairly accessible but with significantly better performance than python. Why not use Go instead?

What people don’t realize when they make that comparison is that the python version of many popular libraries is a light wrapper over a bunch of C++ (or some other really fast language).

At least that’s what I figure is going on. I see a lot of people wanting to port stuff to Go.

Having said that, Go is awesome for bespoke solutions where you don’t have some python bindings on a C library to do what you need. It’s certainly not a slow language, and its tooling is exceptionally nice to get started with.

But what I want to know is when are they going to port PyQT to Go?

yeah, "open" implies the freedom to choose to be hosted by a platform like Facebook if you want.

It would be a loss to the open web if, somehow, there were no alternatives but Facebook, but that isn't the case.

It took me a second on Google to find bike shops local to me that have web presences outside of Facebook. They probably have pages on Facebook as well (it would just be good business) but the web isn't a zero-sum game, one doesn't somehow cancel out the other.
Don’t overexaggerate the facts. Programmers are /not/ in massive demand. Even skilled ones. It’s why there’s essentially no compensation growth for the last few years outside of FAANG. All growth has been through stock. The sheer massive number of people entering the field and how hard it is to get a job as an engineer should make this more obvious. If massive demand were true, we wouldn’t have ever increasingly difficult interview practices.

There are better jobs out there if you’re getting worked to the bone but it’s not like everyone is going to get $400k and wonderful work. That’s still reserved for the top 5% of engineers.

If you’re in the bay, you have a very slim amount of options unless you got your home 30 years ago.
I honestly don’t know how the processor counts the instruction length, so it was only pure speculation on my part as to why the limit is 15. Maybe they naively check for the 4-bit counter overflowing to determine if they’ve reached a 16th byte? Maybe they do offset by 1 (b0000 is 1 and b1111 is 16) and check for b1111? I honestly have no idea, and I don’t think we’ll get an answer unless either (1) someone from Intel during x86’s earlier years chimes in, or (2) someone reverses the gates from die shots of older processors.
This is true, though perhaps there is some performance benefit.
Logz.io: Prometheus Monitoring as a Service
I think it makes sense if you see the vague questions as proxies for cultural markers. There's a type of person who says "Yeah, I learn something new every time I meet someone! People are all so interesting and unique!". What the survey really wants to know is whether you're that type of person.

I know a lot of people on here don't like them but software bootcamps are very much the startup working at solving the job training problem. Sadly, it is an industry where caveat emptor certainly applies, but if you do your research there are definitely programs that are worth their price.

Check out CIRR.org which reports audited numbers from bootcamps. Good luck finding a university that reports comprehensive, audited, financial and career outcomes for their students. The numbers don't really exist, because it would be, guessing here, VERY embarassing for the universities.
I was astonished to see the article treat leisure time as something to be optimized out of people's lives rather than as fundamental to their well being.

MethaneSAT (subsidiary of EDF, the Environmental Defense Fund) | Remote-first US based | Full-time | Front-End Software Engineer | https://www.methanesat.org/careers

Interested in meaningful work? Want to have a hand in combating climate change? Want to be part of a product that will literally launch (into space)? MethaneSAT’s mission is to map and measure worldwide methane emissions, with the aim of reducing those emissions and making this data available free of charge (read more: https://www.methanesat.org/about-methanesat/).

The big challenge of the frontend will be translating the hard data downloaded from the satellite into formats usable by a variety of audiences. React + TypeScript.

This is a US-based remote team, and post-covid it will continue to be remote.

> This probably means, the scientific output was less promising than those projects.

No, it means that funding prioritization is completely screwed up. Arecibo was a world-class instrument. The next largest radar telescope isn't even one-tenth as powerful. This is a giant loss and a colossal screw-up of prioritization. Building something new costs a lot more than maintaining an existing installation (they were only spending single digits millions per year on Arecibo -- nothing). And they couldn't even come up with that.

I've seen a few very rare edge cases where you can do cool tricks with UMA on mobile (which as you say have been UMA for years). For example on Android for VR you can have the sensor data stored in a chunk of memory that can also be read by the GPU, so your last-second time warp can have that smidge less latency by sampling the latest sensor data as hot off the sensor as it gets, without even bouncing off of the CPU. ( https://developer.android.com/ndk/reference/group/sensor#ase... )

But the best VR experiences are still done on non-UMA desktop PCs with discrete graphics so... At some point the slight efficiency wins of UMA are trumped by just the raw horsepower you get from multiple big dies.
Not parent, but I used to be in that top for counter strike, once you reach it you’re surrounded with extremely talented player and it’s not just about grinding anymore. There’s something about pure skill that makes people much much better than anyone else. You don’t just grind but you watch videos, you practice aiming, you train with your team, you invent new strategies, you make sure you have good chemistry and you don’t bring everyone down if your team starts losing, etc.

Yeah those are valid points about the better quality material/more capability/development/non-outsourced hardware/people. I guess that's tough though as you can get a nice Android/other phone for $800 but yeah.
