This is, in my opinion and experience, the main gist of the problem. Management work doesn't take full time and people get bored or scared they can lose their jobs if someone finds they didn't do much. So you end up with a lot of synch meetings, one-on-one's, backlog refinement meetings, weekly reviews etc.

And now most of the managers have a calendar full of meetings to coordinate projects with other managers that after that they meet with their teams to get feedback/answers they need to go back to the project meeting and tell other managers that tell their teams... If they were not managers but developers or engineers with technical knowledge, they would save a ton of time (and team's time) and solve most of the issues in a couple of sessions.

But most managers will disagree because they cannot see how the "difficult technical problems they helped solving" were not so complex in the first place... when you put together the people who knows about the code/projects/systems.
This is getting to be a tired meme.

While it doesn't apply to shell prompts, there are such things as cultural memory and institutional memory. As a member of a group or society, you are expected to have a certain baseline amount of knowledge of that culture and history.

When I was young, it was considered shameful not to know things. Now the people I work with seem to wear ignorance as a badge of pride. They think that not knowing something means that thing is not worth knowing. As if somehow not knowing something is a good thing.
Honestly I don't think with iOS you're actually getting into any kind of philosophy other than to make money for Apple.

For example, I've had plenty of issues on iOS with refunds. On Android refunds are given automatically if you uninstall the app within 2 hour of purchase. Why isn't Apple doing that?
Yes, these people make their entire religion their identity, and react accordingly.

The recent batch of radical identitarians on the left make their ideology into a religion, make that religion into their identity, and react accordingly.

They are slightly different approaches that reach the same end: Intolerant, miserable human beings who can't help but contaminate every social interaction with intolerance.
The "anti-porn" filter will of course be bogus, just like the police dogs that can "sniff out" porn: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/utah-police-introduce-porn-sniffin... which are also from Utah, and suggest a trend or the presence of a vein of something.

These efforts all fail, mainly because there's no definition of porn other than "I know it when I see it", much less an algorithm to detect porn. You can cite Rigan Ap-Apid's "An Algorithm for Nudity Detection" (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/249767252_An_Algori...) but nudity is a good deal different than "porn", and Ap-Apid's algorithm doesn't actually work well.
> stop accepting connections, tell all your clients to reconnect

This "drain" pattern is great for maintenance, upgrades, etc too.

The only caveat is that the clients need to be given time to migrate. How long that is depends on how well the clients behave. A hot restart may be much faster.
I think you are all greatly underestimating how much damage it does to drive down a neighborhood, stopping every hundred feet, and re-accelerating. Cruising speed consumption is not a useful number here.
Can sympathize: the reason Im in the US is because my Irish ancestors went into indentured servitude to come to the states, landed in the deep south and because of my low economic status growing up actually shared more in common with the black folks around here (went to a school system where I, 7/8 Irish, was the minority) yet I'm constantly being reminded by white folks to check my privilege. It's just hilarious from this perspective.
I'm glad that the world's pyramid scheme capital has decided to focus on such a dangerous problem that destroys lots of livelihoods and careers each year.

I was using SQLAlchemy with FastAPI and databases, but still had issues with the lack of async in SQLAlchemy, even though it's supposed to be coming in 2.0. Ended up moving to Tortoise ORM, which is an async copy of Django ORM, but there are some odd design decisions, and I'm not a fan of the way it plays with pydantic. I've yet to try a migration with it too, so the jury's out whether it was a worthwhile decision.
I have no idea. Whatever price Google or Apple determines they could run the service and make a profit.

Apple already charges $100 a year, that seems like a reasonable starting point. If your business takes off, and you’re using more resources of the store, or you want to promote you app, you pay more.

It could be tiered price levels depending on your usage and needs. Maybe once you cross a certain threshold of downloads then you have to bump up to the next tier. Maybe there would be an enterprise level for huge companies.

Imagine if all developers on Google play started off paying $100 a year, that alone would weed out a lot of the BS & discourage low effort bad actors.
How was that not noticed in a urine test much earlier?
It's actually a bit of a gap -- everything I've read tries very hard to assume positive intent; people will cooperate if you can create a sense within them that they can express themselves without fear of reprisal or judgement.

The reasoning in the literature for avoiding this topic is sound. If you provide the "destroy" option to folks, they're usually going to go with that pretty quickly, and only nominally go for the other methods of resolving conflict.

I've had someone make that determination about me at a previous role, which then put me obviously in a "what do I do with this person?" position which itself led me to the "ignore/destroy" answer. If it hadn't been an option, would this person and I have had a more pleasant working environment?
The rich aren't a single monolithic entity and it doesn't make sense to treat them as such. George Soros is an obvious example. Unless if you have concrete evidence, a blanket anti-rich narrative only serves as a vector for another rich person to inject their ideology. Plenty of people think that Donald Trump's feud with Bezos was proof that he was on the side of the working class.
They still publish pay phone photos in the back, I’ve managed to get several in there over the years.
You are correct that vast.ai is pretty close.

The biggest difference is probably security / guaranteed uptime. With vast you're getting what it says on the tin - a machine from a marketplace. Could come from anyone / anywhere. No idea what else is running on it. Ours are hosted in a professional DC, managed and secured as they should be.

If anyone's curious, there's a detailed comparison page with other platforms here - https://gpu.land/versus
For my latest app, which is free with in-app purchase area unlocks...

Google Play: 10 times the amount of downloads than Apple Store

Apple Store: 2.5 times the income of Google Play.

Reviews on Google Play frequently mention how everything should be unlocked for free. Apple reviews seem to focus more on what extra content they would like to see.

Piracy on my paid apps seemed to be way, way higher on Android.
I think web quality sandboxing for installed apps would mitigate security issues sufficiently to make less restrictive discovery and reputation mechanisms viable again.

To my understanding, OP just wants websites to not expose any information (existing usernames and emails) to visitors, even in registration forms.

What you suggest shouldn't be possible because:

- multiple users can have the same password

- properly hashed passwords rely on per-user/per-hash random seed, which can be only determined after user is found in the database

I've been running a work Linux virtual machine (or a few of them) on a MacBook. Best of both worlds really -- I don't have to worry about running Linux on the hardware or running dev tools on macOS.

As a bonus, a full system backup is a simple folder copy to a USB stick, and with that stick I can instantly continue working on any machine, Mac, Linux or Windows.

Can you use GeForce cards and then make us pinky swear to only use it for blockchain processing applications? This is what LeaderGPU does (https://www.leadergpu.com/#chose-best), and they had even lower pricing.

Although lately they have had demand outstrip supply.

Hetzner used to have GTX 1080 instances for about $100 a month, no longer though, and I'm lucky to be grandfathered in to about 8 of them.

I told myself a couple years ago that compute will only get cheaper over time. In reality, compute has gotten MORE expensive over time! I cannot match or scale the compute price I locked in a couple years ago with Hetzner. Some of that is the crypto market raising GPU prices, but it is also NVIDIA's licensing making their cheaper cards unavailable in cloud servers...
Interesting that "нецензурная лексика" translates as "obscene language", whereas the literal translation would be "censored lexical expressions"; Interesting that in Russia censorship is always something imposed from above, whereas now in the US it's more a thing of social norms (where it is a bit harder to argue about where these norms came from).

Soo, is it just me or does the amazon.care site not work?
In the surface of the Earth we have designated conservation areas, wilderness areas and “dark sky parks” all intended to reduce the impact of human industry on the natural environment.

We do not need StarLink to industrialise space, and we do not need factories in low Earth orbit to maximally utilise space-borne resources.

This desire to pollute our skies with industrial light pollution will look to future humans as ill-guided and poorly motivated as draining the swamps (and later wondering why our ecosystems are failing).
It doesn't really matter which makes "more sense." You could call it the canon branch, the root branch, the trunk branch, the main branch, the master branch, whatever.

The point is that the word master, in this context, has a different etymology that the word master in say, a database. Now, that might not matter: if you care about changing the name of the branch you probably care about the way the name makes people feel, not the etymology of the word, and perhaps that's a good argument (personally I don't know and don't really care). Nonetheless, the etymology of the word is a factual statement, so I was correcting a poster who was assuming it was an analogy to a different context.
I think Linode/Paperspace/AWS/GCP/etc. are closer to "direct competitors". I would be much more comfortable trusting a single entity that owns its servers than a GPU rental marketplace like vast.ai.
Ok - so how does this account for the hunter gatherer cultures in North America and Africa into modern times? Bison do not count as small game.

Also, if you kill an elephant how much of that beast can you (and all your tribe) hope to eat?

I'm not even sure if this is a causal inversion or just a co-incidence; humans may well have had nothing to do with big game until they were anatomically modern. Where is the evidence that Little Foot and Lucy killed anything bigger than a mouse?

The following data is for standalone executables (modulo things like libc and libm that most Linux executables depend on)

Columns are:

- apparent size (I run FS compression so the actual on-disk size is nearly the same between the compressed and uncompressed)

- Executable name: $IMPLEMENTATION.{big|compress} implementation here is either SBCL or CCL. "Big" means I load the drakma library before saving the image (which pulls in things like unicode tables). "compress" means I attempt to enable image compression; the numbers make it looks my system's CCL does not support compression.

- Mean time to run a program that quits immediately as a startup time proxy; sbcl pays a big penalty for compression as without compression it just MMAPs the image in so doesn't ever load most of the image when you quit immediately.

/bin/true is included for a minimal "fast and tiny C program" as a comparison.

31K /bin/true 85% .0004
43M sbcl 99% .0036
29M ccl 93% .0053
58M sbcl.big 99% .0049
14M sbcl.compress 99% .2012

> there's not much more you can accomplish with YAML or JSON compared to XML, even if some people find the syntax more palatable.

Sure, and vice versa.

I think there are arguments to be had for whether you want your config language to be "turing complete" (or in general capable of containing logic or just static data). I am not sure I am convinced.

But you seemed to be saying that XML was preferable to yaml for some reason related to turing completeness/logical power, which I'm not seeing. You can "shoehorn" conditions and loops into YAML or XML if you want (by defining a semantics on top of either one), and it's going to be cumbersome, yup.
> They might also argue that your team should not choose software which is so restrictive.

Which in the end is a valid point.

I've seen offices fighting with their own MS Word templates because neither current MS Word versions nor alternatives like LibreOffice can correctly display and format them anymore. Meanwhile Microsoft Team's online Word is not 100% consistent with the offline package, and when you need your PDF export to just work it's not fun when suddenly PowerPoint decides to always invert the colors for no reason.

Then there are cases like the subscription-based Adobe tools which are nice until you happen to be in a country targeted by a US trade embargo and overnight your subscription is cancelled with no way to even access your own files in cloud storage. Oops.

Is Gimp inferior to a billion dollar corporation's top-seller? Sure. But I know tomorrow I'll still be able to open all my files on almost any device running a desktop OS. If you earn your salary with this kind of software that's still not very convincing of course and I get that, however on the other hand when you depend on this kind of software to be working reliably it's worth considering how much you really want to depend on some corporation's servers being online when you need to rely on it.
This says Amazon Care is already in use in WA. Anyone out there with any experience using this as their health care provider?

(after dealing with "normal" health insurance I can only think "well, it can't be any worse, can it?")
I don't think that either, and I never said it.

You just learned what they are. Maybe try to understand why they're bad before getting defensive. Or just call everything "fake news," your choice.
> You don't chase down most little critters, you bait and trap

The switch, from large to small, seems critical. Hunting big game requires cooperation and communication. That tooling gets supercharged when it has to domain switch. (Counterfactual: forcing lions to sustain themselves on rabbits will probably produce prides of dead lions.)
it will take more than a piecemeal approach of rewriting the English language to address prejudice

it is part of an effort of acknowledging that things white are seen as good or less bad, and things black are seen as bad and worse, and this is consistent across the language

this particular approach of extrapolating that towards skin color and ethnicity is just as misguided

but I could have seen it coming: when I’ve used the words in context before, it becomes clear people have had race on their mind the entire conversation that they try to make a poor joke about the irony of me using those words. Seemingly for their own comfort.

Not exactly what I would call privilege, in America.
>Besides this, it's actually a stupid move in a political, pragmatic sense. Like you're saying, it alienates precisely those you need to bring to your side ("it's pc gone mad!")

Originally we were on IRC. As the team grew, more CTFs were being played - often concurrently - so having dedicated (private) channels for a given CTF and "sub" channels for its challenges gave us a lot more flexibility.

That being said, we've considered migrating to Discord, Zulip, or Matrix - just haven't gotten around to it yet.
In the FAQ it says:

Sorry, your amazon care has been terminated due to repeated terms of service violations.
I tend to agree with triviality. But I’m white and can’t vocalize that opinion IRL. However I do feel like people of my pigment also do these things as risk mitigation. Eg. Most of the world was caught off guard by the Dr Seuss thing. It seems quite obvious to me the family proactively took the books out of print because the fallout from being targeted by SJW or whoever would be huge. People are out there looking for things to be offended by, brands to attack, etc and if you’re a big company you don’t want to be caught in those crosshairs.

That said, I do recall getting “pat us on the back” vibes from GitHub but just wanted to throw this alternate justification out into the discussion.
As protohumans and humans invaded lands, they likely extincted megafauna and flora calorie and protein sources that were easiest to access. This then likely required more mental effort and creativity to solve food security problems with hunting and gardening.

Yep you're correct that V100s are available as spot instances. If you're willing to write some extra code for saving down weights you could easily go with them.

Actually, I'm renting V100s. Got lucky to know the right person at the right time:)
Wow, I nodded so much my neck hurts. Well said.
I think when individuals or even companies roll over, it's because the mob's attack can be quite scary. It's easy to point at the people who stay their ground and say, "see, they didn't cave and did just fine."

But that's an obervation we make in hindsight, and without knowing it was like for the targets. At the time, their phone is probably ringing off the hook, media are calling, etc., and they have no idea when the attack will end or if people are getting fired, advertisers withdrawing or any of that.

I'll applaud anyone, left, right or other-vectored, who stands up to mobs, though. I'm not a fan of the phrase "cancel culture," but it gets one thing right: it is a cultural development, both the culture of outrage and the culture of appeasing the mob. The injustice of a, outraged mob declaring itself judge, jury and executioner only works if targets try to appease them. So while the culture of outrage is a hard problem because it's diffuse, anyone who refuses to accept that injustice is has an outsized effect in pushing back against the appeasement side of it.
> Isn’t it fine to just stop accepting connections, tell all your clients to reconnect, and do a normal restart?

Dependents on how many config changes you need (per day).

Besides Envoy supports it and I would call it a bonus if you can reload your configuration without client interruption. As for complicating things the implementation for hot reload isn't terribly complicated in Envoy.
I would argue that entertainment is of greater societal value than polynomial solutions you can trade for crack.

That isn't to say that I think crypto is worthless, I think it has the same worth as any fiat currency. We don't spend an entire 1% of the world's energy printing and handling a tiny fraction of the world's banknotes. Crypto is orders of magnitude less energy efficient than every other form of currency on the planet. It's like if everyone started commuting to work in 18-wheeler semis.
Second bayphoto for metal prints. I have gotten stunning results.
No. Why we can’t have nice things is the selfishness of the people who worship “the economy” at the cost of human lives.

Why we can’t have nice things is the fascination with enabling rich people to get richer directly at the expense of the poorest and most vulnerable in society.
I was going to say there are plenty of routers that work fine, but then I looked at the latest stuff on the pcengines page.

I don't have an Android so I can't check it out, but I was wondering — what does it mean for Tinder to have a patent on the swipe-to-like gesture? Are independent projects still allowed to use this interaction? Open source projects are probably ok, but are startups nervous they're going to get sued into oblivion for using the gesture?
Linux keeps the userspace<->kernel ABI stable, sure. But that's largely an implementation detail; what matters is the ABI presented to applications - at the library level, not underneath libc. And this varies between libraries and distributions.
For somebody who was 0 knowledge of ML but has always been wary of the huge costs involved this sure looks like a great offering!

But I still don't know what it would cost to get something useful out of it. Can you (or anybody who knows about ML) tell me a very very ballpark amount of what costs it incurs to train a model like www.remove.bg that automatically removes background from photos? I'm not trying to build a clone but curios what sort ot financial investment it takes to make such things.
