Clearly the latter, but unfortunately the economic incentives favor centralization and that in turn pretty much nixes the chances of significant resources being allocated to create those solutions. In fact, there are significant incentives to keep such solutions out of the marketplace entirely.

It's quite funny in a way: regular mail worked for two hundred or so years without too much in terms of trouble, ok, we had some spam but that was about it. And now mail delivery has become so complicated that the mere act of accepting mail can lead to your corporate secrets being made public or lifted without your knowledge.
> Is the "cloud" with armies of above-average developers, SREs/ sysadmins/ systems engineers and security specialists really the solution or is the solution

Also, at some point the cloud provider may figure out that they can increase profitability by hiring more and more below-average people and just market them as world-class.
That seems extremely common. For a stretch there every tech S1 I saw said "we don't make money, we've never made money, we have no idea how we're going to make money in the future".
You’re getting downvoted because this isn’t how US systems generally work in theory, but it’s a good point because this actually is how many of them work in practice. Schools are extremely loath to fail students because, well, parents flip.

Exchange product architecture was absolutely to blame for this. Very particualrly, the "/ECP" directory should have never been allowed to be Internet accessible. (I believe the upcoming version finally rectifies that in a "supported" way.) In general, though, Microsoft hasn't focused enough on making Exchange more compartmentalized. The servers' privileges in Active Directory are too high (though this is supposedly being addressed in the upcoming version too.)

Why does a site even get to know when cookies are disabled?

I feel like this is a horrible implementation of this browser feature. If the user disables cookies, the browser shouldn't tell the website "I don't support cookies", but rather let the website's JS think it happily set a cookie but not store anything when you navigate to any other page.

Clearly that school is failing, maybe the should have classes that are one week long or two weeks long that are intensive so they can focus to pass those; when 50% of the kids are failing ever class clearly whatever is being done doesn't work.

Let's say the school failed miserably in notifying the parent about this kid (and that's not settled fact, the school claims they did, but for argument's sake let's assume they didn't)...SO WHAT??? How does that absolve the parent of responsibility? How could this parent not be aware what her kid has been doing all these years? She didn't bother looking at his report card even once(the web portal is open to all parents)? Didn't bother meeting one of his teachers even once? Who is ultimately responsible for raising this kid? School or the parent?
Uhhh, are we looking at the same S1? Coursera currently loses money, has never been profitable, and does not provide any indication of when or if they will ever be profitable.

From the S1:

We incurred net losses of $46.7 million and $66.8 million in 2019 and 2020, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. We expect to incur significant losses in the future. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue levels in future periods to achieve profitability, and even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to, among other things...

These expenditures will make it more difficult for us to achieve and maintain profitability. Our efforts to grow our business may be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, it could negatively impact our growth and growth strategy. As a result, we can provide no assurance as to whether or when we will achieve profitability. If we are not able to achieve and maintain profitability, the value of our company and our common stock could decline significantly, and you could lose some or all of your investment.
What's the difference between board seat vs. no board seat?
When you take funding and 2 firms offer ... 2.5 million for 10% with a board seat and other for 2.5 million for 10% without a board seat...

What's the difference...? Does NOT having a board seat really prevent them from being your boss. Does it really prevent them from making any decisions? Does it really prevent them from letting you do whatever you want?

But op didn't ask for the ultimate drawing test, asked for starting practice.

Parent advice is spot on: the initial exercises need to focus on arranging lines and spaces maintaining arbitrary proportions, and copying existing things is great for that. The other foundational stkill is shading, but that's easy enough to learn by doing.

Then you move into figure study, and maybe begin to develop your own style, but it's not really needed at this phase. You know shapes by now, so drawing cats, animals, persons outlines works great in putting harmony into shapes.

Once one can reliably put down shapes and proportions and shading, it's time to move up to scenes. Object interactions, shadows, relative positioning are the skill to master here, perspective lines can help at the beginning, copying architecture and placing figures on it a great exercise.

Once this skillset is built then you've the tools to test yourself, and the litmus test is not drawing figures, that is foundational. The litmus test is to draw a figure out a scene in various styles so that it's clear in each different production both that the character and which style does it fit.

It could also be that there's a demographic of parents at that school that doesn't know that, the function of the school, is to teach the kids that 'better' students deserve opportunity.
To be a little pedantic: He is not claiming that producers are never using PCs, he is claiming that live audio never runs on PC, because stability is the top priority there. Later he says in the studio you can tolerate a little instability if the other benefits of windows are worth it.

That no producers are using windows PCs is an obviously false claim. There are DAWs that don't even run on mac. There are also live production tools that don't, like Notch, so there must be someone running windows on stage, anyway.

That macs are more stable in day-to-day operation is not really a bold claim though.

Water use from watering your lawn is pretty insignificant when put up against other aspects of daily American life, or things like industry. I hate this sort of consumer side rhetoric for climate change. Change all the lawns in America to gravel you want, ban all the straws, none of that will make an impact when the biggest impact by a mile is from industry protected by a profitable regulatory environment their own lobbyists have designed. Better to go straight for the jugular when you need to kill Goliath than to try hitting him with a Nerf Dart.

I don't think he's talking about a specific subreddit, but rather reddit as a whole. I tend to agree, but I don't see how that hurts advertisers.

IIRC you used to very rarely see actual celebrities in the ama subreddit because it was a weird place where they'd ask you how many toddlers you thought you could fight at once, or maybe someone would get accused of trying to bang a highschooler. Now it's just your standard softball interview space where you go plug a movie, someone asks you what it was like to work with (other famous person), and then you're off to go do the exact same thing on kimmel.

It's advertiser friendly but it's about as exciting as a bowl of oatmeal and as thought provoking as the number eight. The only reason people stick around on reddit is because they're addicted to the skinner box content feed.

OK so, that's how the air ripples work for heat... because of the density of the air.

It makes me wonder, if you had a 10 inch globe of vacuum suspended in air, how different looking thru it would appear vs the air. It seems like you might be able to detect it via sight alone.
AVX-512 software is appearing. For example, for neural net inference: https://NN-512.com

AVX-512 is a pleasure from the programmer's perspective, much nicer than writing software for GPUs or for earlier SIMD instruction sets like AVX2/SSE

Versus a GPU, the AVX-512 machine model is just much simpler, and there are no drivers or proprietary compilers

Versus earlier SIMD instruction sets, AVX-512 provides all the instructions you want (permutations, floating point conversions, etc.) and they're all masked so edge cases are easy. AVX-512 Foundation is a really nice instruction set and it has a bright future

For sure. And then there's the CapEx/OpEx tax games to take advantage of, too. It's not a bad deal on the whole, but I think it's overhyped as being better than it really is.

Moving to subscriptions results in a net increase in spend for organizations that were executing on-prem IT well and frugally. That's the only game now. I just think it's disingenuous to say that it's a cost savings. I reject the massive availability increase argument too, at least in the US, because of the lack of competition in the ISP space and the tier of service that is available to SMEs in their budget.

You spend more for the same stuff, are forced to "upgrade" (read: lose features, see changes in UI) at the whim of a third party, and may experiece decreased availability if you're unwilling to spend more on Internet connectivity. There "upsides" for sure, but too many people peddling hosted solutions fail to recognize downsides.

Not sure why this comment is being downvoted. This is one of the unintended consequences of viewing every unequal outcome between ethnic groups as proof of racism.
In Baltimore? Don’t know this specific story obviously, but could have something to do with their insanely high incarceration rate. Not to suggest necessarily that those incarcerations are even unwarranted, but rather to point out that this is a feedback loop and not a straight chain of causality with a beginning and end. It doesn’t start anywhere in particular - looking for that “root cause” is a fools errand (aside from centuries of racism, which is what almost certainly spawned these toxic feedback loops, now without “beginnings”).

There are lots of things which may go wrong trying to make a mathematics fit into a type system. In particular you need a particularly general typesystem. I think Julia has a better chance than haskell/rust/ml (let alone C++) because types are less rigid so functions may return values of types that are functions of the arguments. The difficulty is subtyping.

For a trivial example, the integers under addition form a group. But they also form a ring, which is that group plus a different monoid structure (and extra rules), and the real numbers form a field (two connected groups with extra structure) which meets with the ring structure of the integers. If I write an algorithm about groups, I want a way to be able to apply it to the additive or multiplicative groups of the reals. You need the ability to easily talk about forgetting extra structure but then taking results back from the simpler structure.

Another example is dimensions. It is, as far as I know, basically impossible to encode something like “force (ie mass times distance per time squared) divided by time is commensurate with current times voltage” in a type system like that in ocaml/haskell/rust (you can maybe do it with c++ but the compiler can’t check that your template is correct)

The next problem with general algorithms is that there are isomorphisms and then there are isomorphisms so things that work in mathematics (this group is cyclic and g is a generator so for my element h, there is some integer a such that g^a=h) are sometimes infeasible on computers (the process described above is trivial in integers under addition, hard in integers mod p under multiplication, and very hard in elliptic curve groups (of rank 1), even though they are all cyclic).

I don’t think these are reasons not to try and I think Julia feels like a good language for a combination of performance and interface ergonomics, as well as the library being useful in the ecosystem of other scientific or mathematical libraries.
If you’re “academically limited” ie you have learning disorders, you have a different rubric and track through the system obviously.

> You have changed the goalposts, because 1) "someone" is a much broader category than CEO, and 2) "an employee" is much narrower than "many employees, a board member, and external supporters."

Goalposts? Are we in a formal debate now?

Anyway, Brendan Eich is a person. And it doesn't matter how many employees object to him if they are in the wrong.

> I like the idea of due process

I'm not speaking from a legal standpoint. Are you willing to be terminated in a capricious way?

> You mean against their employment interest. He did help fund opposition to their personal interests.

No, I'm talking about the question of whether he discriminated against LGBT folks at Mozilla. He clearly didn't so your point is moot.

> Funny thing is, Eich is neither jobless nor homeless, and people still hear about him. Wikipedia summarizes his few on masks, for example, and his work on Brave regularly appears on HN.

Yes, many commenters on HN are unhappy he has any kind of job. That is my point. That they haven't been successful at his current gig isn't a cause for celebration, or in your case, indifference. But I actually think you might prefer him to not have a job.

> Multiple employees, and volunteers. And at least one board member.

What are you trying to prove? I don't get it.

> Certainly personal feelings are important. People are turned down all the time for a position because of "bad culture fit" or "rubs me wrong" or any number of personal reasons.

Yeah and usually that comes down to ageism and sexism.

We can use logic. There is hope.
Another commenter brought up the idea of porting it to Deno – I’m not sure how inter-compatible the two are, but it provides a hopeful future direction to facilitate sandboxing.
one thing that i dont see talked about alot is, what industry players does nuclear favor vs "green" energy

nuclear, like coal/oil requires heavy up-front capital costs and favors already large players in the industry

what i have heard said is that wind, solar, geo etc can be implemented in more decentralized way and with lower up-front costs which encourage competition, entrepreneurship, innovation (materials, distribution, pricing etc) and potentially more resiliance to central failure

personally, im not anti-nuclear (despite having lived through fukushima) but the idea of more competitive, lower capital-costs and decentralized power grids sounds very enticing if its at all possible
Though not uncommon this is simply a faulty product. Running them empty should not lock them out.

At most companies, a small percentage of employees will still need Excel for really complex/large spreadsheets, or Word for complex formatting destined for publication. But for 95% of people Google's good enough or better.
