But, as we lament every time this topic comes up, it's not even possible to donate to Firefox. I don't know whether that would bring in significant cash, but it's frustrating that the option isn't there.
I would give Koyfin a try - was just recently advertised on a podcast I listen to, and looks interesting.
IMO headlines should have as much information as possible, "The tiny island nation of Niue [...] ccTLD, .nu" is more informative than the current headline.

It'd be like the heading "Prominent lawyer is now in hospital after contracting a disease" is less informative than "Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to President Trump, is in hospital after contracting Covid-19".
Didn't intend to be sarcastic or biting at all. "I assume you don't want" was meant to mean "I'm assume we (collectively) don't want...". Basically, was just trying to say if we only give people rent money and ignore all businesses/let them crash and burn then that 2.4T will not be enough because now all the people that used to work for the companies that are now gone have no work.
Tk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tk_(software)) is an older, but still quite viable option for a multi-platform GUI.

Tk has language bindings for Tcl, C, C++, Ada, Common Lisp, Perl, Python, Ruby, Haskell, etc.

Tk also provides the standard GUI framework for Python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/tk.html
If you're a big business and already have a contract to pay for AWS it can be easier than getting approval to enter a business relationship with a new company
I don't think VR is every going to take off - it is just too isolating and most people don't want a completely new world. They want to socialize in this one.

But AR - that's different - and I think it will happen the second we can get a full day of use out of it in a normal glasses form factor. (With enterprise scenarios driving earlier larger form factors)

This.

A decade ago I was technical co-founder of a company [0] that made interactive photo booths and I chose CentOS for the OS.

There are some out in the wild still working and powered on 24/7 and not a peep from any of them.

We only ever did a few manual updates early on - after determining that the spotty, expensive cellular wasn't worth wasting on non-security updates - so most of them are running whatever version was out ten years ago.

Rock solid.

Bitcoin cash is just another alt coin at this point. Transactions have been dwindling and it hasn't even had a reason to flex it's larger block size yet (which is why it was created).
> to a lesser extent Apple both have a huge lead in this space

When Apple maps first came out, it was terrible. Now it's actually pretty solid - I've heard Apple is very actively contributing to try and really solidify their maps data, but I wonder if the personnel requirements make this an expensive proposition in the first place...
The Loneliness Pandemic
I've run nightly on crap macbooks for 3 years and had 0 of this experience. I run uBlock origin as one of my only extensions.
Which makes me wonder about ipv4 spaces... Should they not be owned by each country's proportional part of the global population rather being allocated to corporates who first got their hands on them?
The Quest line has been a major step up. You should consider updating your 5 year old opinion in a product category that is nascent.

Also, I believe a lot of hype around VR is that it is a necessary first step before VR.

Finally, while I agree that AR is the “mobile phone” type of revolutionary product, I still think VR is going to be wildly successful. To me, the limiting factor is the builders tools - it’s so expensive to put together good interactive VR content.
No it's not like palladium ore being found in your property. It's like 100 years in the future in a different language then your own some arrangement of symbols which theoretically could be construed to refer to you is used in intellectual property by parties for purposes completely alien to you. But you realize that there is money to made and you say where is my rightful piece of a pie I didn't know existed and was baked by complete strangers

cool resources, thank you! i was just wondering about scanning movie film. any other projects you can think of?
A counter point to that is that the impact of the tech sector on recommendations like that is ever shrinking - tech is normalized; everyday stuff where people feel comfortable making their own choices (and where the number of people that haven't made those choices pretty solidly yet is ever shrinking). The market is more mature, in essence.
I think that any reputable academic department would welcome industry experience depending on the context; I can't give specific examples without searching (e.g. on portals like academicpositions.com). And certainly teaching with your background sounds like a strong possibility if it appeals.

More generally, I would say that the key would be to target roles and teams that cross the boundary between pure research and software engineering, which could vary from straight research software engineer roles - with say, "machine learning" or tech associated with data science (e.g. "jupyter") as an example of what you might search for in key skills and keyword filters; or by generally investigating the support roles within academic institutions because that can be a backdoor way in. Naturally the closer the research to your specific experience the stronger your application would be.

One way outside of the normal job search platforms you can identify those gaps is to keep an eye on conferences (especially during the present time while they are online) and the communities they serve and (e.g. if you are a coder) the most widely used code libraries as referenced in academic papers; apart from giving you an idea of where your skills might plug a gap they offer scope for networking in the former case.

Sorry to be vague/obvious or responding to a different question, but I don't have specific examples to mind, this is just what I have seen actually working as a strategy into data science-related roles in similar institutions with people without your enhanced qualifications (stem phd and industry data science experience).
Certainly there is a lot of rent seeking going on but I don't think all subscription models fall into that category.

I think subscriptions to software can do a lot to bring in line users needs with company needs. Especially around security of purchased software - if there are no profits to be made as the software is already sold why patch security issues or bug fixes, your only goal is to sell the next
one.
Maybe it was a mistake to keep using the GTK name. The overhaul between major versions, at least between 2 and 3, was large enough to warrant a new name.

Microsoft has introduced just as many new toolkits during the same time, but nobody expects WinForms to be backwards compatible with MFC.

That would have given application developers a better chance to keep maintaining the toolkit long after GTK developers lost interest.
It's not about status and prestige, it's about scientific freedom and possibilities. Of course, someone who was on tenure-track or had an otherwise promising career before they left will not want to get back as a staff member, and, by the way, these people also cannot get hired as such. Sometimes there are even explicit restrictions such as "maximum of X years since Ph.D." or maximum age for lower-level positions.

I don't think this essentially different in business, it is not uncommon not to get hired when you're overqualified or considered too old for the job. The reasonableness of such restrictions can be discussed but they also exist in academia in most countries. In my country, for instance, none of the national funding schemes accept "having been in business" as an excuse in the CV (only medical reasons and pregnancy), so you're expected to be fully comparable to anyone who has worked the same number of years since the Ph.D. in academia. It sounds ridiculous but that's the rule. So you will compete with someone who has 40 publications as someone with 20 publications, for instance.
Adding domain knowledge to code comments
If Docker for mac was running natively it would be more or less useless. Nobody deploys production code on MacOS hosts anymore.

That it is all so smoothly powered by Linux is what makes it a great product.
... No, The answer is immigration.

1. If you have a problematic history (which includes things entirely outside of your control, like being born in the wrong part of the world[1]), it can be nearly impossible.

2. If you don't have a problematic history, it's incredibly stressful. If you're on a TN visa, you can be turned away at the border at any time, for any reason whatsoever, including no reason whatsoever. If you're on an H1B visa, you can also be turned away from the border at any time, for any reason whatsoever, including no reason whatsoever. If you lose your job, you need to immediately start dealing with immigration issues, while looking for a new one, or you have to leave the country.

3. If you're married, your spouse can't work for a long time.

4. If you aren't married, your girlfriend/boyfriend/whomever can't even try immigrate with you, even if they wanted to.

5. Being three hours and a border away is not remotely the same thing as being three hours away from your friends and family.

6. There is a long, long, long list of cultural reasons for why a comfortably-living Canadian may prefer to avoid living in the US, even for double the paycheck.

[1] I had a friend whose family fled from Saddam's Iraq, due to their political activities, when he was a child. As an adult, he was consistently singled out for harassment, intimidation, and delays during his crossings at the US-Canadian border. [2] According to him, getting a work visa in the US was not remotely a possibility.

[2] Isn't it wonderful how passports list your country of birth?
Their new case rates have risen to the point that they've lost control of the spread with current measures, so their current level of masking isn't enough.

> CentOS was the “gateway drug” to get everyone hooked on the RHEL ecosystem

There is still CentOS Stream. Which as far as I can tell is meant to have that purpose.
The problem with the Precautionary Principal (that you seem to describe) is that it doesn't account for opportunity cost. New compounds are developed for a reason and to contribute some value to society. That could be a very small convenience optimization, or could be for a life-saving purpose.

While we're waiting for some compound to be deemed 'safe' for some particular use, society is missing out on the benefits of that use.

The COVID vaccine is a very timely example of this. It/they haven't gone through nearly the amount of testing and trials that are normally required. But we're going ahead with it anyway, since waiting would cost more lives. This is a judgement call that some set of fallible humans has made. Easy in this huge, public, major case. But for the thousands of compounds developed yearly, who decides this, and at what cost to society in lives, quality of life and resources?

And this doesn't count the resources that society has to spend to make the determination of safety, which have their own opportunity cost as well.
I have to ask though...
Was it at scale?
I didn't downvote you, but I imagine the main issue is sovereignty. It sure would feel awkward to sell out large patches of land to foreign countries - it's hard to argue Brazil's sovereignty would be intact after doing something like that.
If this was an interview I'd say dictionaries aren't O(1) but one popular implementation of this collection is.
People griefing about to you that you have no idea what you're talking about, smh, don't listen to them. All I have to say to them is: look at the Wine project running Windows software natively on Linux. Don't underestimate nerds who have a vision in mind. And look at Kubernetes deprecating Docker. At the highest level of application development, all these details don't matter. I'm using all GNU command line tools compiled for my Mac, I'm sure we could figure something out to increase containerization efficiency on Mac. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As a software engineer, you have a professional responsibility to stay abreast of current technology. That doesn’t mean hopping on every latest JS fad, but it does mean continually looking for more information, and learning how others in the field are solving problems.

Physicians have to keep up their board certifications/licenses by undergoing yearly(?) retraining, in order to continue practicing medicine.

It’s not that hard to find what other software engineers are doing, to start, Read hacker news! Talk to more experienced engineers, read blogs, as an intellectual exercise, surf through AWS services and think about how you could use each.
It seems the AG is working overtime to get his pardon from the president.
He may be a scumbag patent troll, but Modernist Cuisine was a hugely important work in the food world. The techniques and recipes in it are most certainly used all the time in professional kitchens. It's a 600 dollar book for restaurants that are charging 250 pre fixes. Alot of the equiptment used in it are super common these days, immersion circulators, combi ovens, vacuum sealers etc.
> sacrifice comfort particularly for longer trips.

I guess maybe they are less comfortable than traditional car seats, but since car seats are basically build like lazy-boy recliners, that seems unsurprising.

Our kids have never complained about the comfort or lack-thereof. They seem to have pretty equivalent comfort when compared to the back seat itself as far as I can tell.
For me it's always been about stability and the long term support of a 'free' distribution. That has also historically been their bread and butter which got them wide-adoption.

The branding stuff was a plus to the sys-admins and Linux die hards.
Age does seem to correlate to propensity toward runaway inflammation that is associated with covid morbidity and mortality, however it is not causation.

young does not translate to safe from the virus.
That is such a fantastic metaphor for our limited 'supply' of care/empathy.

Sometimes it feels as though we have only so much for others' plights before we run out and only have enough to focus on our own. I'm not sure.
As far as I remember miners favored the block increase while a critical mass of validating users didn’t.
I mean, eGold needed an intermediary so it was centralized. Pretty easy to shut down eGold. Not so for Bitcoin. Maybe the fact that it's still running is a testament to its decentralization?
That sounds more like investment/speculation.

I was speaking against this specific idea that bitcoin is (long term, stable) store of value.
AWS Goes After Google Maps Platform with Debut of Amazon Location Service
The subhead says "…calling into question the steady march of progress in human history."

Has anyone here an idea where this notion of a "steady march of progress in human history" is coming from?

To me, reality seems more an up and down, a roller coaster of history, if you will. It's of course hard to pin down what progress exactly is. Increasing amount of knowledge while decreasing wisdom? (eg. destruction of environment)

There is this famous quote from Einstein about world war four. Maybe this is how it will happen?
Do you only do what you are paid to?

That being said, I'll also hold off a little while getting an Apple Silicon device, until various kinks are worked out. And until I can get a 16" MacBook Pro.
Remote Team Collab Tool Shuffleboard Launches Today
The real question is whether it can run ARM containers "natively" (inside the VM) or still needs to emulate them via QEMU.
I think it's why Firefox's market share is declining too. I don't recommend firefox for non-technical users anymore because of its relative complexity and incompatibility with the modern web when compared to Chrome.

APPL's market cap is $2 trillion and so by that logic it should be an excellent currency.

"This would not solve Mozilla problems"

I think it might lead to growth or "mind share" among app developers (and indirectly to end-users who use the apps built by devs).

The Chrome engine now powers the Edge and Brave browsers. Electron is used to built desktop apps by companies everyone recognises e.g. Microsoft, Slack, Figma. The appetite among companies and devs to build Electron apps shows no slowdown.

Mozilla is nowhere to been seen in ths important space. In my opinion, this is a missed opportunity.
This flows naturally from US copyright: all creative works are copyrighted.

If the documentation is not explicitly licensed, then there is a risk that your distribution of the documentation is a violation.

This solves the problem of unknown documentation licensing, and makes the documentation a copyleft work product of its authors, which guarantees that any future derivative work that is released is also under a liberal license.
In my opinion, I think the takeoff point for virtual reality for office use is:
1) Reasonable price point (Quest 2 hits that)
2) Text must be easily clear and legible. Quest 2 does not really hit that, but high end units seem to.

So it seems like we are about 1 generation away from having something mainstream for work, so probably 2 years away.

We are a remote team and I decided against Quest 2 but was borderline due to text legibility. I would probably buy everyone a Quest 3 though as a way to interact on some things.
My point was to have some light fun at the optimism of ppl who think that all that’s needed to do the impossible is enough profit motivation:

“The first to break c gets infinite profit! Ready, set go!”
> Docker on Mac has never felt as snappy as on Linux

It's extremely slow compared to Linux and I'm pointing my fingers at the virtualization layer without any hard evidence because it's the most likely suspect.

With all this focus on sandboxing apps of late, I'm wondering how far the OSX kernel is from having a feature set that resembles cgroups and network namespaces.
The only way that works as a "business" is if Google also sells online advertising services. Nevertheless, the company must sell online advertising services as a business model in order to survive. This makes it arguable that the company is actively working against users supporting content providers by paying ("supporting") them directly. Google functions as a middleman selling online advertising services. It pays content providers a cut from the ad revenue, not from relatively small fees collected from a relatively small number of users who want pay an advertising company not to bother them. Depending on how much hazard risk one assigns to online advertising and the destruction of privacy by monopolistic actors that are seemingly immune from legal regulation and able to operate outside the law, this could be seen as some sort of "protection money". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_racket
How do you extinguish what someone else can fork? Your post sounds good, but one can not extinguish an open source project as you claim.
> most people don't want a completely new world. They want to socialize in this one.

The popularity of video games proves that is demonstrably false.
No, that's what you assume they are looking at. You're assuming they only look at whether you properly memorized bubble sort, but in reality good interviewers don't care if you don't even finish the problem or find the answer, they are looking at how you approach the problem and your problem solving skills.

You often need strange problems to really get to see people's problem solving, which is why they're often not things you see in real life, but again, the goal isn't to see if people know how to do the strange thing, it's to see how they approach a novel problem from scratch. Aka problem solving skills.
That’s correct per GAAP principles but as they say in the blog you can report on both
Well you know what's really tragic: FFOS is a pretty big success. It was forked and became KaiOS, which has decent market-share in India.
wxwidgets is reasonable
Also, it's not like chrome is googles main source of income or anything. I don't think google really would be impacted all that much anymore in todays market if chrome shrank, especially if they lost market share to firefox (as opposed to say, apple, and maaayybe microsoft). Why would they care?
Apart from the long support, RHEL based distros also give you built in selinux support. Apparmor exists, but it's not comparable in features and existing policies.
> but for most headsets, resolution still isn't high enough to read bodies of text without eye fatigue.

Most? Is there anything, no matter how expensive, which is currently capable of clearly presenting large bodies of text? The moment something like this appears I'm going to buy it even if I had to sell my kidney for it!

EDIT: forgot about input. I'd probably be willing to finally learn to touch-type, if that would be enough. I'd probably be happier with being able to see the keyboard once in a while, though.
Debian eLTS offers 7 years: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended

That said, if you're really in the position of depending on a free project for over five years of security support, you probably will be totally fine with just ignoring the fact it's out of support. Just keep running Debian 6 for a decade, whatever. The code still runs. Pretend you've patched. Sure, there are probably some vulnerabilities, but you haven't actually looked to see if the project you're actually using right now has patched all the known vulnerabilities, have you?

(Spoiler, it hasn't: https://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4058)
> I'd definitely prefer to not write Dart, but I also accepted long ago, when you want to write GUI you pretty much have to learn a new language. It's close enough to JavaScript and/or Java learning it is pretty much just figuring out "WTF? Is X called?"

Are you using another language for your app, or is your entire stack in Dart and not just the UI?
Just because CorporationX says “don’t worry about it we got you bruh” doesn’t mean technologists - people who actively work with technology and write software - should be excused for just throwing up their hands and saying “it’s just ducking magic I don’t know how it works”.

I’m not talking about understanding it to the level of being able to contribute a patch to the project.

I’m talking about understanding that containers are inherently tied to the kernel, and thus are limited to running software written for the same kernel as the host running the container.

It isn’t rocket science. I literally explained it in one sentence, and I’ve never used docker in my life.

This is along the same level of knowledge as “no, you can just take an iPhone app and run it on android” or “no you can’t just take a SQLServer query and run it on anything that vaguely knows “SQL”.

So what's the difference between a front seat without the airbag on and back seat?

My guess is that it's really just automakers CYA so they don't have to treat it as a safety critical system. There's really no reason to have that sensor then.
It maybe shouldn't but it always amazes me by how much developers (assuming that is who they are) will subject other developers to the same bikeshedding and minutia type hassles ... that suck for everyone.

It's all grounded human nature I'm sure, but man it is terrible.

We all are frustrated by that behavior ourselves, why do it to other people?
