> I still frequently listen to the soundtrack while I work too.

The SC4 soundtrack definitely works really well for non-distracting background music while doing work. I recall that one of the Youtube videos having the music had the comment along the lines of "I was looking for a different game [Soul Calibur 4, I think?] and found this instead... HOW IS THE MUSIC THIS GOOD?"
It's a red "do not enter" esque thing now, but when the parent posted, I think it was still a yellow triangle.

But also, the status page still proudly proclaims that the "Uptime for the current quarter: 100%" — which is clearly false at this point.
Code developed in a REPL would ideally be "pure", meaning it takes a value and returns a value without side-effects. Then others can experiment with it to their hearts content. Maybe it's ok to read from a database, but don't write. If you write to the database nobody else will dare touch your code.
Probably because as a car, it's not worth as much. I think this is the sort of thing that would appeal to a memorabilia collector, rather than a car collector. If I was selling the Batmobile, from either the movies or the TV series, I would not think of selling it a car auction.

Parsec looks great, but I'd be grateful for metrics (bc who knows what "low-latency" really means).
FWIW, I looked into it and apparently the "online search" functionality gets way more hits when searching for house numbers. That search must use nominatim or pelias as the backend. You can find it by hitting the search button, going to the categories tab, then scrolling to the bottom of that tab.
Funny how status.slack.com has reported Incidents and Outages for a while now, but still the "Uptime for the current quarter" is reported at 100% on the bottom right of the status table.
As the other comment points out, literally none of what you said applies to Google.

Your logic is something like this: because someone somewhere is in a bad marriage, everyone including people in great marriages should treat their spouse like an adversary.

My point is behaving like this will just ruin great marriages/employment relationships (obviously.)

I don't know what you being German and being depressed about dystopias has to do with anything, people who work at FAANGs and that caliber companies are literally some of the most fortunate people on earth. That's why top engineers are way more interested in getting a job there than emigrating to Germany.
You are so wrong about this I am not even sure how to start. It’s like trying to explain physics to a goldfish. We just can’t understand this for you.
Show me the evidence. You look from nation to nation, region to region, and there is no effect at all from masks or lockdowns. You are imagining they work because the TV tells you to, but they don't.
The reality that we read today confirms Murray in that the Judge agreed with the US Government in pretty much every area of the extradition request.

it does not harm Murray nor encourage people to be more sceptical of him.
That will all be addressed in the take-it-or-leave-it 2,400 page proposed contract.
I'd personally get a kick out of using the RGBs on a keyboard to give me htop type information. My wife sometimes thinks I'm strange.
Different commenter here: I have no objection to workers organizing.

I do think that unions are both the kind of mechanism that eliminates the worst workplace abuses ... but contributes to a workplace being policy driven and stifling.

There's already reasons why larger employers institute lots of policy and remove individual team, worker, and manager autonomy. But a counterparty demanding a lot of these to be committed to in contract forming its own parallel bureaucracy can multiply these effects.
The status still says "We're continuing to investigate", but they tweeted[0] that they have found the issue.

It's not activism, it's the law in the UK.

The judge interprets how the law applies to the specific facts of this case. The law says extradition is not allowed in some circumstances. Those circumstances include how the prisoner is likely to be treated, and the health of the prisoner. Some other extraditions are ok according to the law because those factors vary in each case.
> engineers can "collectively bargain" with Google by simply leaving and working somewhere "better".

That is literally the opposite of what "collective" means. You seem to be trying to argue against unionization by circular logic, by claiming that it doesn't work because market forces do the same thing because unionization isn't necessary.

I mean, it's easy to do that in the case of FAANG employers who already pay very high salaries. But they make outrageous profits too. What's the argument that the already-highly-paid engineers shouldn't get a bigger share?
> Why?

overall rates for a group contain millions or tens of millions of people probably aren't going to be dominated by a single explanation. maybe they want to leave them free for groups that are at higher risk? not every kind of doctor is dangerously exposed to risky patients.
The behaviour of Ross and Joey was pretty gross and would be looked on pretty badly these days.

That doesn't make it wrong, though.

- that BTC is volatile is, hopefully, non-controversial. Do you want your stock to be volatile? (if you have large BTC assets, it should be...)

- I won't comment on deflationary/inefficient, I feel the article didn't focus too much on that. But it's a questionable store of value because it doesn't have intrinsic value - this, again, should be uncontroversial. The article lists multiple events that might absolutely destroy BTC (the section "BTC is really risky"). It's easy to imagine more (e.g. war or other catastrophic events that would make the BTC network "less interesting" and would make it really easy for a committed player to do a 51% attack, destroying all remaining trust).

It definitely feels like a fancy ponzi scheme - at the very least, BTC ticks a lot of boxes for "how to identify a ponzi scheme" (definitely 1 & 5; arguably most others, except for 2):

1. Abnormally high investment returns. The most obvious sign of any investment skulduggery is the promise of an abnormally high investment return. ...

2. Guaranteed returns. ...

3. Consistently high performance. ...

4. Vague business model. ...

5. The need for more investors. ...

6. Pressure to reinvest. ...

7. The pressure to act now. ...

8. Credibility through association.

---

Note that I'm not claiming that BTC was created with the intention of being a Ponzi scheme!!! I'm just saying it appears to have many such characteristics, and one may reasonably assume that a similar eventual outcome is not unlikely.

Finally! I'm eager to try this.
I always wanted to control my keyboard lights to have 'analog' notifications and stuff[1]. Never bothered to check the windows apps with wine.

To my understanding, the judge found that Assange's rights will be sufficiently upheld by the US courts, based on the US constitution and precedent - so, she is willing to allow the US judicial system to conduct their trial (if it weren't for the abhorrent conditions in which he would be kept, which she found too likely to be detrimental to his well being).

It is not really a matter for an extradition judge to rule on whether what Assange did falls under press freedom. The US courts would have to decide that. If however the case had been identical but coming from China, the judge would still not have ruled on press freedom, but would have likely considered that the Chinese constitution and court precedents do not offer sufficient guarantees that there would actually be a fair trial, unlike in the US system.

Whether you agree with this point or not is another matter, but I don't see the ruling as being either for or against press freedom, by my understanding.
> “There is message there that we, human beings, should live in harmony between ourselves and nature,” Shady concluded. “We are living through this pandemic, in part, due to our mistreatment of nature.”

What does this mean? What part? Endangered Pangolins? Horseshoe bats from Guangdong? Bat research in general? Lab mistakes in Wuhan? What?

Please publish your findings if you have specific scientific insight into how SARS-CoV-2 started, especially as it relates to the harmonious balance between ourselves and nature.
SC4 has some rudimentary water pollution mechanics with agriculture being among the worst polluters. It was pretty easy to avoid just by having a separate water towers or pumps for your farms and city and make sure you didn't connect the two systems.

The Network Addon Mod (NAM) addressed most of the transportation issues I have with SC4. I remember having a mod that had road/bus and road/subway combo stations but I'm not sure if it was part of NAM or not.

Mixed use zoning would be amazing, absolutely. Without it, it makes designing Main St and walkable cities nearly impossible. This kind of medium density zoning is something that SimCity has always been bad at. Somehow I think Cities Skylines is even worse at it.
I don't know. I find it more likely that people are just incompetent. The world is not nearly as finely run as conspiracy theorists like to think it is. Epstein was never going to allow himself to rot away in jail, so it's zero surprise that he committed suicide. He's never had to deal with the consequences of his actions, why would he start then?
You are right about content. But in that case FB should have clearly communicated about violations for those pages and given a chance to correct them.

Also taking down personal accounts seems more like an automated action where a graph of related accounts are taken down.
You might get a Google indeed; some new vehicle that helps move society forward. But I suspect a very dangerous Theranos; except the union members will be left holdng the mess after it blows up .
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, our goal is to implement collaboration features during the second quarter of the year.
Note Canonical was created by an already millionaire. He already managed a Venture Capital at that time, and I assume had other businesses around. fwiw Canonical might as well be all lost money (millions of revenue, but how about profits?).

No idea about Suse.

In any case, even if they are great success examples, these can be counted on the fingers of one hand... so I'd say the sample size is not precisely "enough", not at least to prove a point.

EDIT: (reply to an edited part of the comment)

> what it sounds like is we're talking about people who want to write OSS but also want ownership and exclusive rights to make money off of it

I agree. On the other hand, most of the OSS that exists is created by such people, and what do we prefer? Idealistic but non-existing OSS software? or compromised but existing and useful OSS software? That's the question that I feel is behind all the conversations about this topic.
The days of that kind of thing are over. Everyone does placements using ad networks.

Best you'll manage along those lines is approaching celebrities and youtube/insta stars and getting them to endorse your product.
I am curious why all articles that are positive about Bitcoin are shunned from HN but negative articles “somehow” make it to #1.

Manipulation much?
Clever, but ... ouch.

I am very grateful to have learned for myself by multiple means that God is real, in charge, and has a long-term plan for us that extends beyond this life, and for which this earth is an important part, that we should respect, also because it is His beautiful creation and our home.

Others will disagree, and we all will choose for ourselves. I hope that while we are choosing, we can treat each other and the earth with honesty, respect, and kindness.

SprintEins | https://www.sprinteins.com/ | DevOps Engineer | Bonn, Germany | Part-Time / Full-Time | Onsite

We create digital products for a diverse set of (pretty large) customers (automotive, logistics & banking).

Now we are looking for a DevOps engineer to support one of our big client projects that is used by a lot of people daily.

Instead of predicting what will (not) happen these were some of the challenges of the last six months:

* advise the teams during the introduction of resource requests & limits

* supporting the decision of resizing the Kubernetes clusters on the requirements and factoring in operational cost

* integrating Azure KeyVault & EventHub into our backend services

* introduce Ansible to provision virtual machines

* introduce PostgreSQL monitoring and support a resizing decision

* analyze and research an issue with a Docker update

Our working language is German. All levels of proficiency are welcome!

Since I used to do the job feel free to ask me anything: a dot okeeffe at sprinteins dot com

For all positions take a look at our jobs page: https://www.sprinteins.com/karriere/
Julia certainly places a lot of emphasis on the repl. It doesn't have break looks that I'm aware of although I really wish it did!. It's a specialty language though IMO, if you're not doing something scientific I'm not sure it makes much sense to learn.
The Assange case has been the most political trial in my lifetime. The plaintiff was the United States.

It seems possible.
Cool, thanks. Another use case other than backup I was thinking is if just wanting to share a window of tabs (so all relating to a project) by copy/pasting it to someone in a message/email; I guess on flip side too, if person receiving the links also had Tabist then could have another popup to "open links" (maybe there's a way to do that in Chrome easily but I'm not aware); could eventually create a centralized service that just pushes the links to them and perhaps auto-opens them - obvious potential security issues there but arguably person you're receiving links from would be trusted by you.
lol Good Luck!!
Murder is a murder and it is wrong in both views of the law and the god if you are religious.
Every time they impose a stricter lockdown where I am, numbers go down. They relax it, they go up.

It's a roller coaster of disease.

What have you got against lockdowns? Is it some philosophical hatred? You're not alone, governments also hate them. They do it because they have to.
A poorly executed conspiracy is still a conspiracy.
Probably got mistaken for misleading political content. If you search for `"shared.com" "trump"` or `"shared.com" "biden"` there are some pretty tabloid-tier conspiracy articles.
Most people that are affected by AWS outages wouldn't report it as such...
> there's a clear difference between ansible and terraform

The only difference I can see is that Terraform attempts more of an estimation of what might happen when you apply. Otherwise they're the same.

Terraform has multiple layers of unnecessary complexity which were added with good intention (the belief that you could "plan" changes before applying them) but don't actually work in practice. Your state file never reflects the actual state, so it's pretty much meaningless. The plan step is (in theory) supposed to tell you what will happen before you hit apply. But actually knowing it beforehand is impossible.

Part of that is the fault of the providers that don't do the same validation as the actual APIs you're calling do. But the other part is the fact that the system is mutable; it's always changing, so you can never know what will happen until you pull the trigger. The only way to say "only apply these changes if they will actually work" is to move the logic into the system, turning them into transactions (ala SQL).

Honestly, the only reason I use Terraform at all is because writing a bunch of scripts is not scalable. With large teams, you have to use some kind of uniform library/tooling to manage changes. Terraform is currently the best "free" option for that, but I don't find Ansible any more or less reliable, it's just more annoying to use. I definitely don't use them for any "declarative" approach they may have. And in fact, for regular app deployments, I actively do not use Terraform/Ansible at all, and instead write deployment scripts that can manage my particular deployment model requirements. I intentionally abandon the "declarative" model because it's so uncertain (and unwieldy).

> The thing with this declarative infrastructure push is that it's encouraged the companies themselves to maintain providers (with or without the help of zealous open source committers), so now someone else is writing your ansible script and it has a much better chance of staying up to date.

I agree with you here, it's very good that companies can invest in supporting a provider so people can benefit from common solutions. I'm not sure that is specific to declarative infrastructure as much as just being more proactive about supporting their users using their services, though. For example, NewRelic didn't have a Terraform provider until one of their customers wrote one, and eventually they took it over. It's still not great (I have to supplement a lot of missing features with custom scripts calling their APIs directly), but it's better than nothing.
Thank you for correction. Wasn't it per chance in one of the earlier episodes? I haven't watched TNG or TOS in ages and they were kind of watched at nearly the same time :)
How would a separate API solve the consistency problem? Because it doesn’t paginate? A different accept/content-type can deliver the same thing without multiplying the location of a resource.

As far as consistency with pagination, it’s fairly trivial if you always have a snapshot, eg with simple historical data (which has a zillion other benefits as well).
>The gains can be explained by nothing else than mania and speculation.

This was always the case for Bitcoin. Why would ever use it as a currency when its value can swing +/- 20% in a single day, that would be ridiculous.
India alone plans to produce 1 billion doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine this calendar year, with 50 million already produced. These vaccines were just approved in a few countries and production is just starting to ramp up. Not a great time to be making projections. Give it a month.
The way I see it, that would mean the function 'fair_dice' has type 'i32'. While in this case it maybe fine, if the function had arguments, it would be ambiguous.
I am not expert in economics, but form what I see:
- Not being able to print money might sound really good first, but this could be the reason COVID haven't done the havoc it would have without that money. Stopping businesses from collapse is crucial, no mater at what cost. Why? You really want your local super market to be totally empty? And scavenge for food? No. We just need a way to be able to prevent it. This is what helped in 2008, and currently trying to help.
What this money printing is going to cause, we don't know, but its better than dieing because of not having the ability to intervene when we have to.
- We always need some way of policing this society as a whole. We cant really have nice things. There is a reason we have locks, and fences. Wouldn't it be good if we were are just one happy family(I just laughed myself to death saying this)? No crimes, no anything. Everybody just live a happy life without any crime. That would be wonderful. But we all know that is not really what is happening.
I feel like that's the fairy tale crypto currency is selling, and that's why it sells really good, as always, we always thrive some easy way to make a living, make money, whatever. And crypto currency checks a lot of boxes we are all want.
As someone who has used FLIR cameras, and other industrial imaging systems I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand the continued concentration of specialist camera tech is bad for the market (FLIR a few years ago acquired point grey [0], a competitor). On the other hand given my poor experience with FLIR systems (bad software, bad interfacing) if that continues it might be a good opportunity for a newcomer to shake things up.

> Personally I think the category "employee" should be forbidden. It is a pure social construct.

Don't know where you are, but in the US, the category of employee has different tax implications for both the individual and the employer. In addition, depending on the industry and role, employee status is often correlated with significantly better benefits.
"Before money we had to barter, which led to the double coincidence of wants problem. When everyone accepts the same money you can buy something from someone even if they don’t like the stuff you own."

Stopped reading right here. Anthropologists have widely discredited any ideas that "before money we had barter", but it's just shyly asserted as absolute fact.

If you're going to argue something isn't money, you should first have a correct idea of what is money.
We can call it the "Law Of Lotus Notes". I'm not sure if it's hard to migrate from, I can only assume that it is impossible to migrate from.
Terraform Cost Estimation 2021 Guide
The Cars of Westworld Season 3 – A Fairly Complete Analysis
I'm excited about this, but also dismayed at the huge amount of pushback from the tech community. Exploitation in tech is built into the culture: people worship the guy who never spends time with his family and works 100 hrs per week. Screaming managers are tolerated, even revered. Retaliation is commonplace and keeps people in line, and is justified as "s/he was just lazy" or "not a team player". This needs to end. Unions are a great first step.
