Your wages going up after 2015 may have had something to do with tech companies losing a wage suppression suit[1].

I’ll need to go back and watch but I think the fire started on the way down and not at landing. Also, then engine shutdown looked “messy” on the landing burn. I wonder if the root issue was relight. I hope there isn’t a major flaw in raptor with respect to getting them to relight. Re-ignition had problems in every flight it is been tried (iirc).
Agreed. Adobe creative suite being integrated in educational settings is exceptional advertising. Get the high school and uni classes using Adobe CS and people will go straight for pirating it instead of looking for alternatives. Same with proprietary OSes, or CAD software. If people learn the skills they need with your product, you’ll have the loop closed; the professional world uses the tools, and the next gen learned on them.
“Jesse Wilson said to me”

Who?
“It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes”

Why would they care about quality? If they learned from their mistakes, they would make two or three pots, each one heavier than the rest (smart students would just make one item, making sure it weighed at least 50 kgs).

This probably would work if the teacher promised them 1 point for each mediocre item produced, 2 for each slightly less mediocre one, etc. with scores such that producing mediocre items at full speed at best gives them a low grade.

That gives the students both an incentive to start producing items soon (so that that can produce, as a safeguard, lots of mediocre items and get a decent grade) and to improve their technique (so that they can reach a higher grade, or finish earlier their work earlier)
I'm not sure what the relevance of it either way. Even though he left Mozilla due to his public opposition to marriage-equality for same-sex couples, to connect that with his current company seems like a stretch.

And even being an anti-masker in the COVID19 context, however misguided that might be, isn't really related to the browser's functionality.
It’s chrome with extra features, and not owned by Google. You don’t have to participate in their crypto nonsense, and you don’t have to use their TOR browser

It’s basically just convenient
> Okta, whose cloud software allows office workers to access all of their apps through a secure online service, said on Wednesday that it’s spending $6.5 billion to acquire rival Auth0. Okta’s shares plunged about 13% in extended trading after the announcement.

Huh? Generally speaking, companies acquire other companies to become more valuable, not for their shares to go down. And even more so when the acquired company is a competitor.

Why do investors think this is such a backwards idea, and why did the board approve an acquisition that investors appear to be rejecting?

This is extremely unusual and the article provides zero explanation whatsoever.
Unreal what you can achieve with PG power!
if apple ever creates and leases their hardware for commercial use, it might actually disrupt the google and amazon stranglehold in the compute space.

if power consumption is reduced to a minimum with their in-house arm processors, and they are highly efficient. then they could significantly undercut their competition since their costs are very low.
It appears Fedora 34 (next version) will make it default.
Same situation with my young one. Nutramigen worked great but caused runny poops. We went with HiPP HA Combiotik which really improved our baby's skin.

It's also a little cheaper than Nutramigen, especially if you buy in larger quantities (8-12 boxes at a time).
> It's possible Dustin had silence unknown callers turned on.

"Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list." So the calls don't just disappear forever, you still see them when you check your phone. You just don't hear a ring. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207099

> Missing a payment and a failed attempted payment are two separate things that result in different outcomes. Autopay failed which likely set off red flags.

Why would this set off red flags? A failed autopay actually seems a lot more innocent than flat out not trying to pay at all. Especially if the autopay had been working previously.

This description is over the top. The only amount at issue is the trade-in credit.
Please don't conflate a podcast with a vantage point from within the beast. There is a reason I accepted my offer in the first place. I did earnestly believe Jassy's ability to run AWS is relatively unparalleled, as it has been historically.

Strong as Jassy is, he is no Bezos. And I will say that AWS and retail are different beasts. For obvious reasons, I can't legally get into any more detail than that.
> What do you think of the loss of opportunities for learning and customization that moving to an opaque system running "in" the web (flutter) implies?

Not sure what you really mean. If you mean the loss of "View Source" then I think we lost that a long time ago for anything but the most trivial of pages.

I used to say that view source was why the web was successful, and maybe it did help at the start, but I think we sailed past the point where view source stopped being useful years ago. Everything now is minified, and sites are too complicated for anyone to pick out what's going on from the original source let alone the actual served source...

> How did you get into the Web? Was being able to easily inspect and change what was happening in apps you didn't have intentional source access for (web pages/apps) not key to that?

I'm a weird case, I got into the web by reading the standards. (Then I got annoyed the browsers didn't follow them, so I got into browser QA. Then I got annoyed that the standards weren't clear enough to allow test cases to be written, and I started editing the specs.)

> Have you gotten value from the ability to quickly use others' extensions of useragent behavior that seem highly unlikely to work with this approach? Or will they be able to?

I have not. A lot of people do like extensions though.

Other platforms have managed to get concepts like extensions, e.g. on Linux (well, X really) I can replace my window manager, on Windows I can install DLLs that add features to Windows Explorer, on Android the "share" button can share to a list of applications, etc. There's lots of examples.
Definitely looked like it landed a little hard and then looked like it was leaning a bit after.
Earth even if hit by an asteroid that killed dinosaurs, Chicxulub impactor, would be more habitable than Mars.

But if we manage to establish self sustaining city on Mars we will be sure that we can survive everything on Earth.

Also, having a working blue print of what to do in the event of a sudden disaster on that scale would certainly be helpful.
Ukrainian army only had 75 casualties in 2020... and this is on a very small area near the Russian border. The rest of the country is absolutely fine.
Not only that, but consumers routinely understimate the risks of using software of dubious origin that has been tampered with. It should be avoided for security concerns alone.
you made me curious and I logged into the IRS to find those "transcripts". I really cannot tell if they generate that information from your own tax report or if they generate it from what they already got in their own databases.

"This engineering effort is to reverse engineer the core of the B‐2 Load Heat Exchangers, develop disassembly process to remove defective cores, develop a stacking, vacuum brazing, and welding process to manufacture new heat exchanger cores and to develop a welding process to install the new cores on existing B‐2 Load Heat Exchangers. The requirement includes reverse-engineering the re‐core process for the B‐2 Load Heat Exchangers. The B‐2 Load Heat Exchanger (NSN 1660‐01‐350‐8209FW) uses air and Ethylene Glycol Water (EGW) liquid to produce cold air for the cooling system."

They need to change some plugged up radiators. Good to see that old bombers and old trucks have the same problems.

I'm sorry, a giant asteroid just hit the Earth and wiped out all life on the planet rendering your questions meaningless.
Apple also use AR/VR engineer and almost no one else uses that phrase exactly. For example Unity uses "XR engineer" and VR game studios tend to use standard game industry titles (software engineer, graphics engineer, gameplay engineer, programmer, etc.)
Is it clear that Apple is that far ahead of whatever Neoverse based CPUs are coming? Meaning, that disruption is probably already available to Amazon soon-ish as "Graviton 3".
Every other aspect of living is also subject to inflation. The berlin government is a hero for the poor, this is all it is. The Mietendeckel is not a good thing for a young person or a family but rather for old people and those who have been living in the city for a long time. It creates a class of haves.

Unfortunately, every company that I have been at that has tried to implant the Toyota Way just bolted additional processes onto their legacy ones, adding complexity.

But why would an app that writes to a WebGL canvas be any harder to maintain than an app that uses HTML controls? If anything, it'd be likely to be easier to maintain -- we (the web standards community) are much more likely to change how a particular element is supposed to work than to change WebGL in an incompatible way.
The GT210 is just about the furthest thing from high end. The fastest single GPU model from that generation (GTX 285) is capable of ~700 tflops.

FWIW, modern Typescript is the best mainstream-ish language I've used in production. Dart is decent, but I don't think it's that good.

A little inline comment is not the same as an entire documentation page introducing a developer to a process/technique... I don't think the comments in the Apollo 11 code are going to confuse/mislead anyone, nor are they satirical. Quality documentation is factual, to the point, and has minimal chance to mislead or confuse the reader. I can think of multiple people I've worked with over the years who would be confused by the page that was removed, or think it's some weird offtopic political ideological stuff. Satire, due to its figurative nature, is also generally one of the most difficult forms of humour to understand for both autistic/aspergers people and people unfamiliar with the language. Putting "fun" content in your documentation is a balancing act and sometimes the expense (wasting the reader's time/energy or outright confusing them) outweighs the benefit.
The first ever shoe to be fully traced with blockchain technology
ELEMENT 0 save the planet while keeping your feet in heaven:

We have focused the past 3 years on development of the Element 0 to bringing the most sustainable, flexible and waterproof shoes for your everyday use.

Element 0 is built from natural materials - Recycled Ocean Plastic, Sheep wool, Corn fiber, Natural Latex, Cork, with anti-odor features: no more uncomfortable smells even after a long walk!

Element 0 will come in 5 beautiful colors to represent 5 elements - Earth, Fire, Wood, Water, Metal. We have packed a whole lot of features into this shoe such as slip-on technology to make it easy to wear, 100% washable without losing its shape or colour, and ergonomically designed for the feet with integrated sock.

The most versatile and sustainable sneakers, that tell you the truth:

Element 0 is our answer to the 30 billion pairs of shoes being thrown away each year, but providing a shoe made from quality sustainable materials that lasts for miles and miles.

The main problem with sustainable brands is transparency.

To provide a maximum of transparency about production conditions and the origin of the raw materials, JUCH is using blockchain technology to provide a production that is 100% tracked.

This is unique and pioneering in the footwear industry.

A new way to put you back in control of what you buy.

ELEMENT 0 is the first ever shoe to be fully traced with blockchain technology.

JUCH :

JUCH is a brand founded around 5 pillars: Ethical, Natural, Design, Traceability & Comfort

Starting with ELEMENT 0, we want to create and build a brand for people who care.

Ah, never knew what ¶ was called. Thanks for calling attention to the typography of that site. Neat stuff!
This is a point in GCP's favor, since it generally has sane product names. By comparison, to quote some recent Corey Quinn snark, AWS has Lookout for Equipment, Trainium, Glue Elastic Views and SageMaker Data Wrangler.
The dev removed it to remove confusion, not to capitulate to a troll.
While it is sort of a hostage situation (websites must sign up for Brave rewards to get a payout), would you rather websites get no revenue at all? If the prevailing mentality of most web users is to install their adblocker of choice, I see Brave as an approach that tries to cater to everyone.
Thank you for clarifying! I missed the live show, saw the explosion on Twitter, and was confused.
> The government program manager (PM) is under a lot of pressure to "get it cheaper"

And let me guess, the 'pressure' comes from government decision makers that live in a perpetual revolving door with industry?

The pursuit of knowledge should not be subject to any annoying effects said knowledge may have on people hedged against such knowledge becoming available. That’s an anti-liberal recipe for a rather dark society. I don't see the point in tone policing people generating knowledge just to remind them that sometimes knowledge is inconvenient.
The German government has absolutely no interest in lowering the taxes they collect from property sales.

sidenote, it's a bit hard to access aggregated data, I always have to click bunch of things if I want to see e.g. distribution of salaries for role in switzerland.

Wrote a piece about my experiences in the game development industry (spoiler alert: it's a chaos). This is my first write up so any feedback will be much appreciated.
As someone who has long supported nuclear power, I have to admit that the economics for new construction for large-scale electricity production is unclear. The price of solar is plummeting.

Still. I don't think it's realistic to expect to heat Canadian cities or produce plastics by the millions of tonnes, with just heat pumps and solar power. Some of the greatest promise in nuclear energy is in areas we haven't even really begun to explore. Carbon-neutral synthesis of liquid fuels and industrial chemicals. Direct process heating. District heating.

There is no cheaper source of direct heat. And even at its current rate solar will take several more decades to get there. And it isn't constant output. SMRs are near-ideal for such purposes, and it's been part of the discussion, which makes me excited. I'll breathe easier (figuratively and literally) when they're actually built, though.
Except we are talking about scalar multiplication, that was the premise, not matrices.
Given the current chip shortage issues and looooong hardware lead times it would not surprise me to see someone with more money than sense be forced to do wild things like buy retail M1 mac minis to power their infrastructure. Like Azure or Google for example, if their customers are demanding ARM instances yesterday and their engineering teams are saying in-house hardware is 2-3 years away... there's no real other choice. At least get _something_ out there for people to build on and pray you can catch up before the costs get out of hand.
I shouldn’t have to explain this, but there is a huge difference between

- cute comments and snarky method names buried in source code, and

- a long, vituperative, divisive rant in the actual documentation

It’s not just about “having fun” - there’s nothing “fun” at all in the rant, it’s just unprofessional and irritating.
Is your position that absolutely no one should be criticized for anything, because everybody is guilty of something?

I don't think that was the meaning of that verse.
While I believe he truly wants to make humanity a multi planetary species, I doubt that's out of the goodness of his heart.

You can do this without being a shitty person. Or overworking your employees. This is a long term project.

Maybe you'd be interested in Rimworld? It's not free, but it does a great job of bringing Dwarf-Fortress into the 21st century, both figuratively and literally. I'm a fan of both games, but the modding community behind Rimworld already challenges the 20 years of Dwarf Fortress content around. Really impressive stuff, and a fun game overall.
Thats a possible factor, at the same time, how many times have you looked at something random that you don't intend to buy and then you see adverts for days for this thing you don't want. How much is wasted on this? I'd say that at the moment you are looking at backpack review posts, that's the highest chance of you clicking on and buying a backpack.

> It’s like saying “have you stopped beating your wife yet?”

No, it's not. I described the timeline. I described how Dustin is a loyal Apple customer. Disabling his accounts over a delayed trade-in seems unnecessary and overly harsh.

> We have heard Apple’s response. It’s now time for Dustin’s response.

This goes back to my question 1. I wonder whether Apple even spoke to Dustin, or if he found out the way the rest of us did, on 9to5Mac. If the latter, then you can't expect him to already have a response. Especially since everything he says will be closely scrutinized by everyone. After all, Apple's response didn't come until 2 days after the article. Which I'm not complaining about, but we need to give these things time and not demand immediate responses to our hot takes.
I think that's more of an OLAP vs OLTP difference here. Say you're an international shipping company: you would be perfectly happy to have your analysts write SELECTs versus your shipment database (or a replica), but you wouldn't want them writing the UPDATEs executed from field data.
The "Regulatory enforcement actions" section lists a number of cases that "require[d] a licensed broker to break the law".

It's quite clear naked short selling is possible and thus happens sometimes. I'm very dubious it's the case in Gamestop's specific situation. My specific claim is "naked short selling is a thing that exists", which is readily provable.
The tax code is complex because the economic realities we want to assess taxes on are complex. A naive treatment would be both trivial to bypass and ruinous to unlucky innocent people.
I'm aware of things like the LLVM based C to JS compilers, but they're not really viable for anything non-trivial.

emscripten/WebAssembly is pretty viable.
There is a lot of subjectivity to what brains see. I don't blame Amazon for changing the logo if lots of people complained, but I'd be concerned that so many people made that connection.
At any given instant, velocity is linear. That is, if you take a snapshot of the top, you can draw a straight vector for each particle of the top, indicating the direction of velocity. And, if the top suddenly flew apart, each piece would continue in a straight line, following its velocity at that instant.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with the content of the message it is obviously inappropriate for documentation - it’s just irritating and unprofessional and needed to be removed. Little jokes are one thing, but few paragraphs of ranting really is too much for developer-facing documentation.
I don't think that's true. The US has used tax laws as a way to effect policies since before Turbotax existed. I think the mortgage interest deduction goes back 100+ years

If you want to prepare for that eventuality, instead of wasting your time and money colonizing Mars, you should be spending your time and money on doing asteroid surveys, and working on deflection strategies. It's far cheaper, and will save billions of lives.

Your ROI from doing so is going to be a hell of a lot better.

In comparison to that, colonization is a science fiction fantasy, in search of a problem to solve.
well, there's a spectrum there. There are the late stage unicorns offering paper money that is close to becoming real money, there are the pie-in-the-sky startups whose paper money may or may not be worth a damn and there are the companies that have no equity comp structure at all for whatever reason.
> 1. One day we will need to leave Earth. Maybe sooner than later. Would you rather have a spacecraft or not when that becomes a need?

I don’t equate visiting another planet or planets with saving the human species. We have vast existential problems, mostly imposed by ourselves, right now on Earth. Let’s say we had a copy of Earth that we could travel to right now in a safe solar system with a healthy star. Is the human species saved? Are our problems solved? If we simply spread our cancerous way of life throughout the cosmos, I’m not sure I find that exciting. It would be much more exciting if we learn to be a sustainable acting and net positive species (in all the ways) while spreading in the cosmos. Getting to another planet is a very small part of all that. It’s exciting of course, but not the solve everything solution the parent and downvoters apparently think it is.

> 3. What if we discover life through exploring the cosmos?

That isn’t under discussion. How does that solve humanity’s problems? I am sure we will find life or evidence of it elsewhere.

> 5. Do you really not want to explore the universe? In the literal sense of the word?

That wasn’t a question I responded to or has anything to do with what I said.
I don't see how ICANN can be considered private enterprise, I doubt that's an uncommon "system of logic" and your argument has been predominantly mudslinging, first that I'm unable to understand the question and now that I'm "whiny."
I like sentry but it's the only app that I know uses 25 or so containers to stich itself together to get running which seemed insane, not to mention the usage of much ram.
