The benefit of the tiny tasks model is that you don't build stuff people don't care about. Features/bugs exist in a survival of the fittest world and the lowest priority ones never get built/fixed. This was one of the big problems with "hero in the back office coding for months and emerging with a product".

The tiny tasks model also lets you ship updates to the end user much faster and also ensures the product is never in a half-broken state. It's also more robust when you don't have a team of all-star programmers.

I agree that building big projects on your own (or with a tiny team of motivated folks and no mandated meetings) is way more fun and sometimes far more productive. But that's why I think it's important to incorporate things like hackathons and prototype phases into the engineering department. Each software development model has its strengths and should be used when appropriate.
Didn't Apple start integrated? The Apple 1 and Apple II were largely designed by them, the OS was written by Apple, they licensed Basic from Microsoft. The Integrated Woz Machine [0] ran the floppy drive. It seems like it's part of their DNA, they always try to do as much as possible themselves.

Which was expected since CentOS was a free (beer)rebuild of RHEL

CentOS Stream however is not a Free (beer) rebuild of RHEL anymore, it is an "upstream" for RHEL, so it would not be expected that this flow would work like described for an upstream product
Perhaps your country has a wash of unemployed healthcare workers just waiting in reserve for “their moment” but in the UK there is a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals and we can’t train them as fast as we need them.

I do not think that reading the news will tell me if these sorts of ideologies are more prevalent or are spreading faster than before, simply that they exist. I already knew that.

I think these headphones look awesome but BT latency is beyond ridiculous - i can currently game on a server in 4K 60hz that's a about 600 miles away with 16ms of latency via WIFI from button press to "already decoded 4k video on my screen" on an old laptop (Shadow-PC, stadia like service).

That you can't get low bitrate audio decoded in less than 300ms less than a metre away is absolutely absurd above taken into consideration.
It probably depends on when you do it too. If it’s already widespread in your population, closing borders isn’t going to help much.

It points out that China has the executive capacity to act, in a manner that having 94 federal courts - each imposing nationwide orders - has come to hamper in the US. There's always one judge somewhere who'll disagree with a President's actions no matter who the President is and no matter what the action is, simply because there are so so many of them.

The SCOTUS noted that they may need to reign-in the scope of lower-court orders, and this just adds weight to the issue.

It's particularly important because there's a practical bias. Opponents of an executive action can district-shop, while it is difficult for the Executive to file a declaratory-judgment action in a (perceived to be) favorable jurisdiction. So we end up with nation-wide judgments which differ what what the other districts would have ruled... but the other districts never had an opportunity to rule. Then... since a ruling has been issued, they are largely blocked from ever ruling.

However, the SCOTUS is is a bit of a bind, because allowing nation-wide orders works very effectively in general civil / criminal litigation. The problem has seemed to arise mostly in politically-charged issues where the government is a party.
All of this is an equal argument against Facebook and Google as well, especially for any country outside the US. And before you say China is totalitarian and the US is a democracy, that is very true, but also irrelevant because the US is already known to use this data in illegal ways through the Snowden revelations.

Good stuff. I’m surprised that I have not seen a voxel-based game that leverages a purely 2D render and expects the player to switch between projections to work with the area.
> But so is Sennheiser.

I don't know that. I have Apple stuff already (like most people) and know it's high quality. Trying Sennheiser is taking a risk for me. I'd pay to not take that risk.
great time to bring up the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon in the interview lol
I don't get replies like this. I tried a bunch of high-end headphones through a switchable amp and I bought the one I thought had the best qualities I was looking for. There was a clear and huge difference in quality and character between each headphone but I didn't need the most expensive one (Sennheiser 650 I believe) because it sounded too nice for my purpose (studio). Went for the BD 990's instead.

Distortion and frequency response graphs are pretty important but not the only important thing in terms of sounds quality. And sometimes you want speakers or cans that simply look cool or have a certain size.
CodeSignal raises $25M for its developer assessment platform
They should all be banned IMO.

Just as an example of 'not cricket', my daughter recently had very good reason to block an instagram user. Except, if that user is in any groups that you're a member of, in order to still see group messages, you must accept to still see their messages (and they yours) in those groups - or you must leave the group.

Actually being able to block other users, whether they're in a group you're in, or not, does not seem like an insurmountable technical challenge to me, so I assume it's a policy 'nudge' to discourage blocking toxic people.
I thought we were constrained by supply chain issues? Even if a vaccine was approved that didn't require ultra-low temperature storage, we need glass vials, etc.

The Second Brain Manifesto
Yeah, I 100% agree. I heard an interview with Daniel Craig once where he said that they couldn't make Casion Royale as fun and playful as the originals, because of "Austin Powers". He said they would have had to walk a delicate line between parody/campy and fun, and they felt it wouldn't have worked. But now we don't get any new "real" Bond movies. :/
Because government is the ultimate monopoly.

If China is using TikTok against the interests of US citizens (which legally is 100% a matter of foreign policy, and therefore at the executive branches sole discretion) then celebrating the demise of one "monopoly" (tech) by the hands of an agent of another (a foreign govt) isn't principled capitalism/free-trade/etc, it's traitorous/patriotic, depending on perspective.
Could you actually get an SRE job if you went through this?
At the same time, how many of us have been burnt when delegation goes wrong? I think managers have a "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" attitude that inevitably leads to small tasks and less delegation of responsibility after a few bad experiences with developers wandering off in the woods and building what they want and not what is needed.
Making and Breaking Connections in the Brain
Yes, the audiophile market is uniquely stupid, in that they tend to make specific claims that are objectively wrong. The ethernet cables come to mind, or any (digital) cable that's supposed to be better at conducting a signal than any generic spec-compliant alternative.

Wine, for example, just doesn't usually come with specific claims, except it's "good", or "fruity", or "created in the rich terroir of the L'Alpesian Valley". That region may not actually be better than any other, but it is different. Beyond that, everyone knows it's a matter of taste, with no objective measures of "good" or "bad", although there are obviously (imprecise) trends that many people tend to agree with (i. e. wine is better than vinegar).

As far as I'm aware by far most portable Macs are equipped with pretty terrible integrated Intel GPUs. What's "above average" there?

In essence.
In my group (synthetic biology), we are using Nanopore MinION to do (a) Hybrid assembly and (b) Sequencing of bar codes/transcription units in iterative synthetic biology design.

For use case of hybrid assembly, we find that when you need not only an accurate but also contiguous denovo assembly. Hybrid assembly works really great because you're combining the best of both worlds, accurate short illumina sequencing and to span the gaps or ambiguous paths across contigs; use the Nanopore longer reads. This is important for use cases such as genomic surveillance of novel changes (e.g., synthetic engineering or horizontal or foreign gene transfer) - as you can't rely on a reference genome but need to detect a small change in the genome in an denovo fashion.

For use case of iterative synthetic biology design, we find that Illumina short reads don't cut it when you're doing a high throughput screen sequencing of a pool of say synthetic genes where they have similar barcodes, promoters or gene sequences (you're screening for which family of enzyme would work best, so you end up with sometime very homologous sequences). Because Illumina's 100-250bp doesn't span the entirety of a sequence and having a pool of very similar sequence makes the demultiplexing very tricky. We used Nanopore and the results were mixed given the high error rate of MinION.

Just sharing b/c it's been interesting to hear other people's application of Nanopore MinION!

One should always be wary of going to a concert with music only by a single composer that one doesn't know. :P I try to check there's some variety on the programme, that way I can with high confidence expect to enjoy at least 5 minutes per hour (and so long as I get that I'm happy).
> The idea that someone might want to wait just a little longer to see if any side effects emerge is not necessarily irrational.

In general, yes it is irrational. There is evidence that the benefits of vaccines (including this one) far outweigh the risks of side effects.

> Would you not concede that, if and when any unexpected side-effects do emerge (however rare or insignificant), this gung-ho attitude will backfire?

Sorry, but no, this is wildly irrational. Why are rare and insignificant side effects concerning when the lives of more than 60,000 people in the UK have already ended due to this virus?
For those that are not aware of it - all sufficiently large corporations in China are actually more akin to State-owned enterprises. Alibaba, TikTok, etc are essentially state-owned enterprises.
The tech is good on the first one which makes up for the lack of adjustable tips (a few people I know couldn't use them because Apple's design doesn't work for their ears).
I’m sorry but anyone using 30fps as “playable” shouldn’t be making these judgment calls.

I’ve got a 2060 in a machine I built for under $2k, connected to a high-refresh rate 1440p screen. I expect 144–165Hz, which is easily achievable even at highway settings in many games.

For non-gaming, I’ve been a dedicated and exclusive Mac user going back to the early 90s. But gaming on them makes no sense.

$549 is way too much to pay for a pair of AirPods Max when you can buy both Sony WH-1000XM4 ($278 on Amazon) and Apple AirPods Pro ($249) for less and still have money left over for a burger. I own a pair of WH-1000XM3s and have thought about the AirPods, since the Sonys are not that portable for all situations. Even if the AirPods Max are really good, I still don't see them being the Sony + AirPods Pro combination.
I think the mere concept of this level of communication sounds very intimate -- very emotional. I would stop focusing on whether or not the science is presented in a way you expect it to be.

It remains interesting to me that space exploration yields so much excitement when we have an essentially unexplored alien world with alien creatures right here. I have little idea why reaching a dead, likely lifeless, planet is more exciting than the ocean. Additionally, better understanding the ocean would better prep us to be able to properly explore planets and moons.

> it's worth mentioning that MCAS had nothing to do with flying the plane, only making it feel more like the 737NG to its human pilots

Not entirely true, the original issue is that the engines are bigger and the center of gravity is moved forward ( because the 737's are too low), thus the planes tend to stall. MCAS is there to correct the stall so that they feel more like 737NGs, but the issue is forcing bigger engines on an obsolete design.
The people who are downvoting me have clearly never tried GarageBand on an iPhone with wireless headphones.

I'd be alright with 200ms. That they prioritized going wireless so, so intensely, and completely; fully ignored this issue is absolute tripe.

These are about as useful as those $900 Mac Pro wheels that have no lock and thusly are only even effective if you have a flat floor.

Similarly, these headphones only work if you want to listen to audio - for any creative use whatsoever any given pair of headphones is better.

I just don't get Apple anymore.
Yes, hex grids are better when the number of cells moved per turn is very small.

Handling multiple moves in a single turn is easy either by doubling the movement points you get (then N/S/E/W is 2 points, diagonal is 3), or informally by treating every other diagonal move as costing 2 points.
Not true, because the current CO is not a rolling update.

RHEL security fixes for version X.Y may or may not fix security issues for version Z.A on CO, if the are not in sync.

Encrypted messaging puts children at risk, commissioner warns
As someone who recently set up a pihole, I was shocked that it was possible to redirect all DNS requests on the network (in plain text!) to the pi. I did the method where you set up a network firewall at the router level that redirects all port 53 traffic to the pi. It's a nice feature for getting my xbox filtered, but it really felt like an insecure historical quirk rather than a feature we should be praising.

Surely it's progress for devices to be able to securely access name servers? I can't snoop on the network traffic going over https but somehow I can get a list of all names queried?
You seem to be implying that a nation has no right to make policy aimed at defending itself from foreign threats (perceived or material)... because the nation has had a buffoon for POTUS for the last 4 years...?? The number of logical fallacies that you've bundled up in that statement is impressive.

Would you feel different if TikTok were software of Russian origin? I suspect you would.
The wording implies there is at least some level of extra DSP going on (talk of "dynamic EQ" or whatever notwithstanding). Calling a digital-to-analog converter a "computational experience" seems beyond the pale, even for Apple PR hacks
Mapbox-gl-js is no longer under the 3-Clause BSD license
While I agree that sound quality is likely much better with those headphones you listed, they all require an external dac/amp to realize that quality. For high end, wireless, noise cancelling headphones, this might be appropriately priced.

Honing one's targeting ability. If you become accustomed to making shots in a smaller hoop, hitting the larger hoop becomes somewhat easier. I've seen similar in batting practice with softball players: lots of practice with baseballs, then the larger softball is easier to track and hit.
Does everyone here realize how incredibly huge Apple's audio business is? Their Wearables, Home, and Accessories business did $30B last year. If AirPods are even 1/5th of that category, that's a $36 business.

For comparison, Sennheiser did about $1B in revenue and Bose did $3.6B.

Are are absolutely huge and capable of surpassing every single company in terms of product and audio quality.
So what's the thought process for choosing between that and cached dynamic pages? First visitor doesn't have to pay latency--serving a stale page while caching new one also works.
>want to listen to it in the most accurate way possible.

What does it even supposed to mean?
I don't think that's the case.

At least where I'm at, almost none of my Amazon orders come through fedex or UPS now - everything is delivered by an Amazon driver. And they have an incredible amount of Amazon vans running around. I went to lunch the other day and counted 3 within a mile of my house.

That does make me wonder how they optimize routes. That and the fact that I had 4 different drivers leave a package at my house the other day.
From what I am reading, the limit is only on the number of packages that FedEx and UPS will pick up directly from the shipping depot.

This is typically a free service they provide (though paid for smaller volume). It would seem to me that renting a truck and delivering packages to the local center would be the easiest workaround.

The article mentions a company shipping through UPS when they capped FedEx and having to pay the retail rates on their UPS account. I cannot imagine that paying the UPS retail shipping rate is cheaper than renting a truck for a month to ride out the limitations.

> That sounds like the apple cult.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but this statement on its face is absurd. The equivalent comparison to "without ever being able to pass a blind test" would be running macOS on a computer where you've hidden the Apple logo, and seeing if people can tell whether it's Windows.

You may have valid problems with Apple's users, but you haven't provided any evidence that it has anything in common with audiophile culture, and the comparison makes no sense on its face as described by the parent comment.
