Although unless they do business in Europe, there would not be any legal recourse for the EU right? I'm always surprised that any business that can block all EU/GDPR users without impacting their business would even need to care about the laws in those places.
Monolithic software maintained in a single computer/repository is so much better than software spread across many computers and repositories. There are some first-order arguments against a monolithic codebase, but the higher-order points will win out every time. I.e. the reason you want a separate codebase for each "concern" is probably because no one figured out how to work together as a team toward a common objective. This lack of teamwork will ultimately kill your project if you do not resolve it, so whether or not you do microservices in the expected way (i.e. HTTP RPC) will make no difference either way.

If you still want "micro" services because it actually makes technological sense, you can build these at a lower level of abstraction under some /Services folder. Many languages have namespaces, which allow for boundless organizational schemes. Only for a lack of imagination would you fail to organize even the most complex of applications in this manner.
Good. It would have forced the V6 upgrade, which is the right thing and makes this problem go away forever. It would have been cheaper overall too.

Yeah, I'm pretty curious because it must've cost in $10k-100k range right? Isn't this the type of vanity purchase that usually happens after you validate your idea with 10,000 customers and you got a round of investment to go big? I would expect a newly launched startup to use getpopapp.info, or used a made-up company name with an acquirable domain.
I can’t believe you’re such a worthless piece of shit that you’re arguing going bankrupt (losing literally everything) is a negotiating tactic that’s fine.

I hope you get badly injured in a remote location, and face a seven figure medical bill upon recovery, you absolutely worthless piece of human garbage.

Fuck you, and fuck the worthless whore you call a mother.

Edit: I hope your mother starves to death, bankrupted by a hospital, and gets to watch as she realizes her child doesn’t care.

She should know that she’s a worthless piece of shit who raised a vile sociopath. She should die feeling shame for having allowed you to live.
I hear this quoted all the time, but I think this is just a tired trope. Repeat something often enough and it becomes true. We all know Russians are all corrupt, live in constant fear, bears walk the streets, and the only escape is vodka.

In any case, it's easy enough for anyone with a reasonable doubt in what they are reading to check this. Bellingcat claims that anyone capable of Googling can get dox on any random Russian, including someone high up in the FSB. So try it! Pick a random person off the internet and go get those dox. It's a free for all, right?

Otherwise what you are reading is a poorly retconned explanation of how a foreign intelligence operation got some data.
How much does it cost to run someone through the legal system for shoplifting? Is that an effective use of resources versus preventing the shoplifting using social services? Three strikes laws have proven very expensive and not very useful for behavioral nudges, so maybe we explore other ways to get folks to shy away from committing property crimes.
I suspect that RedHat is actually planning on making a no-cost version of RHEL available without support. I think they are still in the process of deciding exactly how to pitch it without cannibalizing existing sales.

They are using this fallout as an opportunity to gauge the market. Risky to be sure, but they didn't do it without considering the risks.

From the article:

> I am confident that CentOS Stream can cover 95% (or so) of current user workloads stuck on the various sides of the availability gap. I believe that Red Hat will make solutions available as well that can cover other sides of the gap without too much user heartburn in the end
I don’t know about Java, but we’re seeing a shift to functional in the mobile space, where non functional code is definitely “old” code. In Swift with Combine and in Kotlin with their thing.
One strategy is to use the strangle pattern where your new monolith just proxies the old service as you slowly or lazily migrate the data or re-implement the service.
Also worth noting: versions of this kind of thing have been around for years (see Next.js for a prominent example). It's unclear to me precisely how this announcement improves on the existing status-quo
> I as a user like this approach apple is taking.

Sure, thats fine! And you should continue to be able to follow Apple's direction.

The issue is not that. Instead, the problem is when you are trying to force me to accept all of Apple's decisions.

Instead, I should be allowed to install apps on different app stores as well, that ignore Apple's opinion on the matter.
I don’t agree that this is flamebait. A significant fraction of the Bay Area seems ok with decriminalization of street crime including shoplifting. There are many stories of businesses like Walgreens closing due to the impact of constantly theft in San Francisco.

Seems like a relevant sub thread.

It's great to see Oberon still being worked on!
Slightly unrelated, but I was wondering if Composita was being used or looked at still (http://concurrency.ch/Content/publications/Blaeser_Component...)?

I know that it and A2 are more complex than Oberon, but a riscV version of those would be awesome, particularly the concept of managed memory without GC.
Probably more popular would be making wage theft a criminal offence too
I came here to recommend that. And anyone interested in great mathematical writing should read the first few pages of Morse Theory. (The rest of the book is great too, but I especially love the clarity and directness of that opening section.)
> Before the advent of the automobile, pedestrians in America were widely recognized as having the right of way in all situations.

Before the advent of the automobile, you had carriages drawn by teams of oxen. If there was lesser risk to pedestrians, it's because the oxen themselves don't enjoy walking on humans. Irony being that the automobile places more responsibility on the driver, who (ITT) sees an opportunity for manslaughter as a justification for manslaughter.

> In Norway pedestrians have the right of way on zebras.

For only a moment, my brain thought you meant that Norwegians riding zebras had the right of way, but half a second later my brain realized they could no longer be considered pedestrians if they were riding an animal. Is "zebra" the real term for "crosswalk" and I've been wrong my whole life?
Which is why the best option is to be polyglot and not silo as "X Developer".
Oh the amount of time our industry wastes behind technology for the sake of technology! First, let's write tons of articles extolling the virtues of microservices. Then let's counter that with tons extolling the virtues of using microservices the right way. Hype followed by wisdom and then go back to hype again! When are we going to mature! Boring is good and predictable.
This is more due to terrible urban design. Often in car oriented cities you have the option of a 1mile+ detour, or jumping a dangerous road.

Same with people running don't walk signs. Often (but not always) they are set to be incredibly short for pedestrians and very long green for cars (to reduce traffic). This again makes people chance it.

The solution isn't criminalising it, it's building better cities.
The author correctly identifies the problem as part technical, part people. My shot-in-the-dark estimation is probably 70% of teams doing microservices do it to solve the people problem before (if ever) they need it to solve the technical problem.

Technical solutions are _usually_ bad solutions for people problems, and architectural patterns are probably even worse solutions at solving the problem of human collaboration. It doesn't help that microservices are mostly a better-sounding name for "SOA, but smaller", that has grown in prominence mostly to sell you hosting for your very many microservices. Microservices takes one of the hardest and most important parts of of SOA (service boundaries) and replaces it with...smaller.

Glad to see someone at a larger company publishing about this.
> The debt was incurred once the service was rendered, and you are now liable. 66.5% of all bankruptcies in the US are medical -- are they just bad negotiators?

The overwhelming vast majority of people have health insurance. However, due to taxation of privately-purchased insurance but not insurance that's a work benefit, people are driven to get insurance through their job. This was the government's fault, by the way. If people lose their job, they lose their insurance along with it. People without jobs have lots of financial problems. If they have a medical problem this situation gets far worse and results in a lot of bankruptcy. You seem to think bankruptcy is worse than negotiating. Clearly, it is often preferred.

As for your oranges question, no.

For the cancer one, possibly.
You're right that Putin has had people murdered in far more conspicuous fashion before, and there's now the big risk of Magnitsky sanctions. It's hard to say whether the blowback and sanctions from an assassination would be worse from an 'unfortunate accident' or someone dying suddenly and inexplicably in a manner very similar to a nerve agent that Russia exclusively uses.

It seems like for them to get away with the Novichok poisoning they should've chosen to assassinate Navalny locally so they're be little chance of getting the victim to a neutral location for treatment or autopsy.

That's just my speculation, ultimately this whole situation could be explained by malice and incompetence.
> socialized healthcare and that dream of free healthcare for all is an impossible utopia, you just need to think about it to realize

I can't understand this argument when Canada, England, France, Israel, and many other countries already have healthcare that is totally free to people at the point of service, and people rave about it. Can you explain why you still think it's utopian when it already exists?
I've never heard of a prominent Republican politician voice support for taxpayer funded healthcare. It would require a significant increase in federal income/FICA taxes. And in the enormous portion of federal spending that Medicare/Medicaid is, it doesn't even include outpatient services/medications for everyone over 65.

Of course, this would be mitigated by the elimination of health insurance premiums and other redundancies, but a federal taxpayer funded solution would result in a more transparent wealth transfer, whereas the employer sponsored tax deductible health insurance gimmick allows for better discrimination on who receives healthcare, and ideally reduces the amount of wealth transfer by reducing the healthcare many people receive.

It's not really copyright law either, it's just Twitch's policy.

DMCA provides a safe harbor for Twitch as long as they take down content in a timely fashion when notitified; they can put it back if counter-notified, and they don't have an obligation of prior restraint. They just don't want to deal with the hassle involved with accounts that get a lot of DMCA notices, so if you do, they kick you off.
No hidden service fees. Taxing is not so simple in the US. My county has a lower sales tax rate than other counties around me. When I worked as a waiter the municipality had a special tax on alcohol in addition to the county and states alcohol and regular sales taxes.
> Also I don't want to allow FB to pull another Cambridge Analytica.

Yeah.

So many people took away the wrong lesson from the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Facebook wants everyone to see "Cambridge Analytica did something bad and Facebook stopped it", when the real story was "Cambridge Analytica did something bad, convinced us it made money, and Facebook stopped it by platforming it and charging Cambridge Analytica for it". The Cambridge Analytica models led directly to Facebook's personalized ads system, with almost everything Cambridge Analytica asked for being added to the ads platform itself. Almost everything that was shady and questionably ethical about what Cambridge Analytica was doing didn't stop being shady and questionably ethical when Facebook simply in housed all of that tracking for "ad personalization" and started selling it as a service to any advertiser willing to pay for it.
> I wonder whether GPUs would be more cost-efficient and feasible for this rendering task.

GPUs are a superior computer for raytracing calculations. But...

CPUs have the software advantage: decades of engineering effort have been poured into CPU-renderers. While we're at the point where GPU-rendering is starting to become a thing, it will inevitably take decades of engineering to recreate all of those features on the GPU.

One important GPU specific problem is the shortage of RAM: CPUs always have more RAM available (even if that CPU-RAM is much much slower). Teaming up the CPU + GPU to handle the RAM problem for large scenes is going to take significant effort. The general ideas are known in research papers and whatever, but not really ported to the actual tools yet. Disney's Moana dataset is known to take ~100GBs of geometry data / textures / animations. But there's no GPU on the planet that can hold all that data. So you'd have to make a CPU+GPU team to take on that problem.
>And universities accept applications for people they know statistically 99.999% they will not get past the first year.

Universities do this on purpose because between 500 student lectures and on-campus housing requirements undergrad freshmen and sophomores have a massive profit margin per body whereas juniors and seniors are in classes that have much more resources spent per student and often don't live on campus.
Do you have a link? Most likely that $2 lens only works well at a single frequency.
That was exactly my thought process too :D There's pretty much nothing else in the price range of the Sport that does 600mm at less than f/8, and the Contemporary model has 90% of the performance of the Sport but at an even more digestible price. For birds the lens length can never be long enough, and I think the Sigma range is in a great price point where it's expensive enough to be good but you're not paying more for marginal gains. Plus some of their latest lenses can be hooked up to a USB dock to allow you to customise them a bit, such as making micro-focus adjustments, which is really cool.
I spent some time at a university and got to field DMCA complaints. Typically they'd list the file getting shared and a timestamp (often without a timezone) and the university IP/port. They never included their own IP address...

Of course, the traffic was behind a firewall. I had the logs but wasn't about to accuse / punish anyone when there were a bunch of potential students behind any given complaint, and without the other end of the connection I couldn't identify which one for certain.

Funny thing is they refused to give their source IP because they didn't trust us to not leak it to whatever pirates to put on a blocklist.

But of course, I had their source IP because I had the network traffic. Were I in kahoots I'd have just listed all 5 of the possible snitching peers to the badguys.

Shady and incompetent then, same now I guess.
> productivity started decoupling massively from productivity gains.

Productivity is a ceiling for wages. "Decoupling" implies that, for various reasons, there's been a surplus in the labor market since the 70's.
It is clearly a case of argument by authority.
I think the reason this happens is largely because the "common" (non developer, non technical, non engineer etc) user demographic, because of services like FaceBook, Insta, TikTok etc, don't see a reason to pay for software. Therefore, if a developer wants to make money (especially if they're a solo developer) they tend to sometimes walk the less-ethical side of software dev and hoard / share data do make their effort a bit more worthwhile in terms of generating revenue.

It's also troubling to me that large companies like apple want to make large scale "anonymized" health data collection common place and "normal". Citing "huge leaps in medical science" as a reason to start mass data reporting on their users.

> Makes sense. But what's to stop _anyone_ else from getting into that same business? And doing it better? Maybe you create an initial advantage, but for how long? Game consoles come to mind.

You have to keep in mind that the natural outcome of capitalism is to create a forsaken hellscape of competition where individual companies struggle to make margins good enough to survive.

In this case, the truism is to commoditize your complement. Companies have an incentive to push as much capitalism as they can into things they don't make money on, and keep the capitalism away from their main products as long as they can.

So eg Google don't want to commoditize maps, because they're happy having a monopoly on mapping services. Google's competitors want to commoditize maps, because by doing so they undercut Google and make their own cloud service / phone OS / office suite / other all-encompassing orwellian service more competitive.
Preventing abuse of the impoverished may drive that down more than criminalizing wage theft locks up.
There's a crosswalk and signal at literally every block in NY, which has been the focus of this discussion.

SUVs exist and are so large because emissions standards don't allow for large enough family vehicles in sedan or wagon format. That's why families have SUVs instead of sedans now. If you legislate away every vehicle capable of carrying more than five people you're essentially banning families larger than that, especially in places in the US which don't have public transit, which is most of the country.

THIS is the kind of clueless urban elite childless Coastal DINK perspective that drives regular people raising families in flyover country absolutely bananas with its complete lack of perspective for other lifestyles than the ones in San Francisco and New York! Not all of us want to live in tiny apartments and on crowded trains for our whole lives and the people who do want that life do not have the right to dictate that to the rest of us through limits on what kind of vehicles we're allowed to drive

Electrons are charged and thus interact with electromagnetic fields (light), so they don’t fit the requirement for “dark” matter. Huge amounts of unaccounted for matter being in the form of electrons would also skew the charge balance of the universe locally and globally into the negative, which conflicts with observations that the universe has a neutral net charge.

Assuming you are using server components but not using SSR for the whole app, sure.

But in the case, what you are doing is building what amounts to an isomorphic React app; a client-side React app leveraging server components for an easy-to-integrate backend. So, whatever the pagerank impacts are of using a client-side React front-end application is are expected.

We in the US do an absolutely horrific job of recognizing and compensating for the externalities of our automotive culture. The criminalization of jaywalking is one major aspect, but also consider:

1. The construction of highways through poor (read: minority) urban areas, causing mass respiratory disease and premature deaths[1].

2. Allocation of free public space (car parking) to drivers, effectively subsidizing (disproportionately suburban) commuters at the expense of residents.

3. A general culture of entitlement to the road among motorists, resulting in tens of thousands of pedestrian and cyclist injuries a year with virtually no legal (beyond costly civil) recourse.
