For some of us, it has. ;)

For others who are fine with Twitter, well, there's still Twitter.

I realized earlier today we're still in the era of AOL. Only now AOL is called FAANG and instead of snail-mailing you plastic discs, they pre-install on all your hardware. The people who either prefer the corporate ecosystem or simply don't know any better hang out there while the wild west waits just outside.
That used to be what an open source distro was, and there used to be several options for such, no?
don't discount trust in the vaccination process, it might be better to visible respond to anomalies to signal that the system that makes sure vaccinations are safe actually works.

Was interesting watching this happen today at a large Fortune xx that is a year or so in to wide scale Azure rollout.

Took out Outlook, Teams and all meetings over the course of 5 minutes, then moved on to internal service alarms going off across multiple (10+) major customer facing digital products that got vaporized due (presumably) to various dependencies on AD. I think some of this was service accounts on backend that lost connection to various dbs, file systems, etc.

What a total shit show.

Company basically down from 2pm CST and barely coming back up 5 hours later.

IT Buddy who is 2 people away from CIO pinged me and said “DNS issue, data center power outage or Azure just crapped its pants.”
Good intentions are hard to see, you missed it yourself. Of course SJWs have problematized this in terms of semantic drift, but most people only listen to the extremes and use those to define the average of that group. Often I find being tuned into the bad intentions of the people you agree with is more important.

Devuan.
The better technical term for what South Africa has is rolling black-outs that increase in frequency (and ultimately duration) depending on the amount of load that needs to be shed.

South Africa also has actual load shedding, where industrial customers are asked then forced to reduce usage, but the black-outs are entirely different. They are region-by-region complete loss of power for all but the hospitals (but often take out hospitals and emergency services too).

Compounding this issue, the grid is not designed to be switched on and off frequently. While there is a set schedule for the rolling blackouts, transformers and other equipment will blow under the sudden loads, meaning your regional blackout may last a lot longer than planned. You may also get blackouts sooner or completely out of schedule for region, for which no explanation is given.
> I’m a ‘Software engineer’ in Canada. Have been at multiple companies. Do not have an engineering degree...

I'm mixing between EGBC (Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia) and PEO (Professional Engineers Ontario) in links below, but feel free to contact your local engineering licensing body to check if your titles hold up. There is a bunch of weird language through out. Who knows, you may qualify.

From [1]: "In British Columbia, anyone who practises software engineering, or who uses the title “software engineer” (or a similar title that implies that they are a software engineer, like “firmware engineer”, “mobile app engineer”, etc.), must be registered with Engineers and Geoscientists BC."

There is a lot more in [1] including, "Not all software development constitutes software engineering." and "... many individuals who develop software probably do not actually engage in software engineering..."

Someone linked to a Microsoft job using the word engineer in Canada, which seems strange since Microsoft already learned about the protected use of the word "engineer" in Canada in 2001 [2].

Professional Engineers Ontario says, "On July 25, 2002 Microsoft Canada announced that they will continue to use the term 'engineer' as part of the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) designation."[3]

> Professional Engineer is a protected title in Canada. Is that what you’re thinking of?

I think "engineer" is protected too. I think job titles that contain "engineer" can only be used by those who are registered professional engineers.

From [4], "Can someone call themselves an Engineer/Professional Engineer or P.Eng if they don’t have a licence?

The term Engineer/Professional Engineer/P.Eng. can only be used by those that have been granted a licence by PEO, under the authority of the Professional Engineers Act. The title “Engineer” is restricted to Ontario licence holders under s. 40(2)(a.1) of the Act."

> ~1$/month, I don't do anything heavy, text messaging only

Won't work. The vast majority people don't pay for messaging service, and without people, there's no messaging app. Ads are the only way forward.

Will they offer an optional ad-free subscription? Maybe, but I wouldn't count on that, and it's likely to be higher than $1/month.

Nobody cares.
Isn't this basically what the OP is saying? Interruptors should try things first, and write down the things they've tried and what happened. After that, they can interrupt without wasting too much time from the interruptee.

It's the one and only reason my friends and I stopped playing. I hope they take this patching opportunity to resolve a few more load time problems, because even a 70% reduction isn't really enough in my opinion. The load times in GTA are at least 5-10x longer than most games I play.
> Everyone makes mistakes.

Amen. And avoiding a culture of blame (taking inspiration from the NTSB) makes it much more straightforward to put systemic measures in place which reduce the impact of those mistakes. People still make mistakes at the same rate, but more mistakes get trapped and more negative outcomes can be avoided.

The vitriol of this discussion shows just how difficult it is to establish such a culture. People really want to see mistakes as evidence of moral inferiority.

But that wasn't with any black hole and it's not Hawking radiation. Basically they could as well have simulated that experiment on a computer and said the same thing (that what they got is similar in nature to Hawking radiation).

But it's just similar - Hawking radiation relies on a mashup of GR in a strong regime and quantum field theory extravaganza, it's something you would very much want to observe for real as those theories don't normally fit together very well. I'm not sure you'd want to be close enough to observe it though :)

No, they have several different models with different wattages and other characteristics. But, sure the fact that they switch chargers less often than Apple does is another plus.
We have been using M5 Hosting for one of our servers since 2011. They have been extremely reliable up until today. Based on what was posted about the Hacker News server setup, we have something similar. We have a "warm spare" server in a different data center. We use Debian, not FreeBSD.

We are in the process of slowly moving to a distributed system (distributed DB) that is going to make fallover easier. However, that kind of setup is orders of magnitudes more complex than the current (manual fallover) setup. I really wonder if the planned design is going to be more reliable in practice. Complexity is almost always a bad idea, in my experience. Distributed systems are just fundamentally very complicated.
Thank you! They seem very easy to learn.
The European regulator and the WHO have said that countries should continue to vaccinate with the AZ vaccine, but the national governments are ignoring this.

With this many countries pausing vaccinations, we know that there will potentially be thousands of extra deaths.
It's better but as a network it's failing quite badly at transmitting any information.
Behold the three horsemen of scientism: Stephen Hawking, Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson! Consume your weekly science sermon from The Big Bang Theory and join the "I Fucking Love Science" worship group on Facebook!

It's all very silly really, and clearly a projection of dogmatic belief in religious authority onto science as some kind of monolithic book of knowledge rather than the rickety, slowly-less-wrong process that it is.
>The article doesn't really provide any evidence that he was 'deifyed'

Deified might be an extreme way of putting it but Mr. Hawking once attended my university to give what looked like a fairly ordinary physics lecture, and not only was the room full to a brim, three other rooms where the lecture was projected were, and people were sitting outside on the grass and watching it on a projector.

If another physics professor of similar caliber had given the lecture I can tell you they would have had trouble to attract a few dozen people.

He undoubtedly was a major celebrity, which I guess in our modern secular times is somewhat like deification. I mean at that time you wouldn't have been able to tell the uni campus apart from a new age cult event. There were people intently listening to the lecture who I know for a fact had not the slightest idea what he was even talking about and just soaking it in like if they were listening to some preacher reciting ancient scripture.

This mystification of science which Hawking stood for always reminds me of a Ted Chiang short story: https://www.nature.com/articles/35014679
The point was that the manufacturer is still willing to produce and sell new replacement parts that are officially advertised and supported for that old of a model, instead of refusing to. I didn't have to guess that it would work, it was on the product page, and they would have treated it as a warranty issue (under the charger's warranty) if it didn't.

They also still have a page on their website documenting current battery products that work with this exact model, including one battery model that can be installed inside the machine like the original one. It's a very different attitude than Apple's.
Well, not bad considering Guile3 and it's JIT are pretty early on release compared to the enormous work from a company as huge as Google with a full team working on v8 across years.

Guile3 will improve that, too.
One person. Only one person gets to say that.
Thanks for making that point. You are right. I was just concerned some organizations would take naming a repo as "job done".
> Vienna's population in 1914 (at the beginning of WW1) was 2 million, vs 1.9 million today.

You can't just take those two data points and assume that they are connected by a straight line. Vienna was down to about 1.5 million around 1990 and has been growing since. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna#Demographics

> Vienna's rents are stable and low

For the record, they are neither. There has been crazy, and accelerating, growth in rental costs over the last ten years.
It is a common misconception that the victim can "press charges" against someone for a criminal matter. This is entirely false.

Only the prosecuting attorney (someone employed by the government) gets to choose when and how someone is charged with a crime. The victim has no say whatsoever in the matter, and indeed the DA can charge someone even when the victim doesn't want them to, or decline to prosecute even when the victim requests it.

> These vehicles rarely make it above 40mph

That speed is quite deadly with zero crumple zone.
Why didn't you contact the police first?
Hawking spent over five decades surfing on a wave of technology that just barely held back a disease that could have buried him at any time. If self-promotion helped him stay on that wave, I don't begrudge one bit of it. After all, it's not like he was selling a bill of goods: he delivered.
Google is also a culprit in this same way. Activate normal 2fa, but when you click forgot password, conveniently it says Should we send a code to your phone?
> These vehicles rarely make it above 40mph and the drivers often don't use seat belts.

A crumple zone is going to still help in that case (40mph head on with another car at 40mph is significant, crumple zones in both vehicles would help both occupants).
I think "embarrassing" could still be the correct word. If you were to ask the development teams responsible they might feel a little embarrassed over the solution being so small (yet technical).

And if they didn't care at all given what you say then why would they care to implement a fix for it all these years later?
Interestingly, SF's population has only grown 13% from 1950 to 2020. The housing prices have grown rather differently, though. Curious to see, isn't it?

SF is an economics lesson on what not to do. Complete and catastrophic failure across the board.

Low prices don’t mean much if there is no market availability. Many cities that are heavily rent controlled have horror stories of year long waits to get a unit. Or, far worse, black markets where controlled units exchange hands privately. The other responder to my comment suggests this is not the case in Vienna, nice!

The laws of supply and demand can not be defeated. Vienna is a desirable city, so there should be demand. If the city has found a way to produce sufficient supply that’s interesting. Most major cities, including SF, have completely failed to produce sufficient supply.
That trolly problem is a one off. Having a major vaccine lead to serious issues puts all of vaccines into question, creating a far larger problem spanning time. It's already the case that various sub-communities are hesitant to get the vaccine based upon previous experimentation on their populations long ago, such as the Tuskegee Study.
I really think that netplan exists because "everyone knows" networkmanager is bad. Ironically, I think it's for the same reason that netplan is now bad; it's a leaky abstraction which doesn't always support the feature you want. I've worked with people who disable nm as a matter of muscle memory on new systems, and I wonder how long it'll be until netplan goes that route (hehe).
Your approach is actually used a lot. There are a lot of apps already out there which only allow you to communicate with reactions (e.g. Clash Royale). However, these reactions seem very artificial and impersonal. There is no real community, and you never feel like people are truly being "nice" to you because they might only be doing it for the in-game reward. Social media as is is already too impersonal, just reactions would make it worse.

I think what we really need is exclusivity and accountability. So you can't just be messaged by random people, and if people messaging you are being assholes they will at minimum be kicked off your network. I think this is similar to how "real" friend groups work, how they worked before social media. The main problem is it's hard to find new people.
If shorter load times there translate to higher conversions in the same way this connection is observed by Amazon [0] this guy just made Rockstar a little fortune. Hiring the blogger outright and giving them a VP of Something Something Role would be more adequate.

How do you recover your account if you don't have the app?
Why so much fatalism? From what I understand, this seems like a one-off situation, and could swing back into full restoration once the urchins die off from starvation.

If nature is anything, it's most certainly resilient! Mt. Saint Helens erupting caused more pollution than the entire industrial revolution combined, and a year of worldwide lockdown cleared up metric shedloads of air pollution.

Why trust what so-called experts say about 20 years out when their models suck for the next few years?
Actually not Firefox, but Konqueror. From conqueror came KHTML which was later the base for webkit which evolved in chrome and the rest is history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML
The Emacs community, like the Lisp community with which it overlaps, is very conservative, in the sense that it doesn't throw things away quickly or make huge changes lightly. For that reason, I'd be very surprised if this took off — even though it sounds like it would be mostly backwards-compatible. I think Emacs types would shy away from building JavaScript into their editor, having V8 be the engine, adding more layers of abstraction to understand and maintain, and splitting the extensions between Emacs Lisp and JavaScript. I'm also not convinced that a significant part of the community really wants this.
In the days of the 486 being nothing more than "junk" compared to a Pentium 2, running Emacs with SICP on Texinfo format was the light approach compared to open a full browser to read HTML pages.

Ditto with Groff+Mom occuping a few MB (totally doable in 1997) vs a GB LaTex install lasting several minutes to render a PostScript, and then running X (if even) just to display the resulting file and nothing more.

Nowadays even QT5 software looks lightweight enough compared to some Electron monsters...
I'm always in disbelief at the sheer volume of waste they deliver. I maybe get one meaningful or useful piece of paper a month, the rest is hundreds of pounds of paper, hauled by thousands of gallons of diesel fuel. How this organisation continues to exist in is current form is mind blowing. Nearly everything it hauls could be emailed.

And don't forget the cost to have trash trucks haul the thousands of pounds of waste away, also diesel powered.
Bare metal for a reason? We found benefits from virtualizing on the same bare metal infrastructure and then running on VMs. Used VMWare for everything.

However, the Docker-based strategy is far ahead.
US mail trucks have the driver on the right hand side (as opposed to the left), so that they can deliver mail without having to get out of the driver's seat. Which naturally means we can't just reuse trucks made for the UK or other Commonwealth markets because... China or socialism or whatever.
I think you are missing the most important part. Even after Apartheid, the existing utilities provided for the entire population. However, there has not been any new generation capacity since 1994. Instead, the maximum generation capacity has shrunk year on year as boilers and other key parts of the power plants fail and aren't replaced.
I think this is great news, and I hope other states will follow. But it's a bit troublesome that it took a wealthy executive to get this anywhere politically, even after years of safe-use research and its prevalence as medical treatments:

> David Bronner, the top executive at Dr. Bronner’s soap company, helped bankroll the campaign, which had to overcome pandemic restrictions to gather signatures and get on the ballot last fall.
Considering the article mentioned that the city was left leaning and also referenced Marx, I guess it's not surprise that they opted to tax people out of their property so that the city could acquire it.

> Rockstar awarded them 10k for it.

The original post, analysis and the actual fix of this bug is beyond impressive. Strangely, Rockstar awarding $10k for that is like someone searching for lost treasure, identifies historical references which leads to finding a ton of it and somehow leaves with 1/8th of it, even though they did 98% of all the work.

For that detailed effort, analysis and with a fix, I'd say that is worth around $80k. At least Rockstar was generous enough to award them in the first place; so I'll give them that.
Love the comment someone made on his buy me a coffee page: "Please fix Cyberpunk!"
I'm not sure I follow. If the page is constantly bouncing to the no connection page, it is jarring, period. If the page of my "no connection" changes because of the address in trying, that is jarring if the problem is on my end.

That is, consider your network is down. You try to go to an address. It doesn't load, so you try another address, the page changes; but it is the same content.
No luck with Ansible pull? Sounds like it maybe ideal for your usecase. Git pulls are often incremental and compressed, and going over https may prove to be more stable than ssh over unstable connections.
Since Ansible is executed locally, theres no need to have a persistent ssh connection to run your playbooks.
I imagine it has only grown 13% precisely because housing prices have grown drastically. If enough housing supply was added to keep rents reasonable, I imagine there would be a lot more people there. Instead raising rents allows the city to cycle out the less wealthy and exchange them for the more wealthy.
It's the original "ad supported" business.
They deliver mail and small packets only. Parcels are delivered in vans.

But no, the NZPost business model (or lack thereof) does not depend on junk mail. Mail is ridiculously expensive, ~50%+ more expensive than the USA, so addressed junk mail is relatively rare, maybe one item per month.
TFA actually explains all this pretty well:

"The requirements dictated the step-in height, the glass height (including the low side glass), the vision angles, the internal height, and the maximum roof height," wrote Kahn in a tweet. "That was all locked in."

Other constraints included the ability to reach the mailbox while in the seated position, and the requirement to see the ground around the vehicle...
I can't imagine more than a handful of post offices are ready to plug in all of their trucks right now. They're almost all going to need power upgrades.
