This would be interesting comparison against pi cluster on more accurate tasks, I have suspicion dual e5 will out perform pi cluster.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Yes I want something like an object in javascript, like a struct in C but at runtime. But I want to implement this myself.
At first I thought a hash table was the right choice. But I don't need the insert delete increase capacity that this data structure typically needs to implement.
I want to implement this in Mathematica. The language doesn't have native objects given that the main idea is for things to be immutable. But I still can program data structures, so I'm looking for one...
I usually recommend setting only Google/Bing/Yandex/Baidu etc to Allow and everything else to Disallow.

Yes, the bad bots don't give a fuck, but even the non-malicious bots (ahrefs, moz, some university's search engine etc) don't bring any value to me as a site owner, take up band width and resources and fill up logs. If you can remove them with three lines in your robots.txt, that's less noise. Especially universities do, in my opinion, often behave badly and are uncooperative when you point out their throttling does not work and they're hammering your server. Giving them a "Go Away, You Are Not Wanted Here" in a robots.txt works for most, and the rest just gets blocked.
While I get some of this sentiment, wont some sort of social deduction game like 'Throne of Lies' be better at identifying potentially good team members?.
A really good view onto Great Britain's electricity grid is here: https://grid.iamkate.com/

or alternatively a more old school view, with analog dials!: https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

Today for example renewables have been >50% of total generation. And I've seen sometimes for as long as a week it's not broken 10-15%. Very interested as to how the grid maintains excess capacity to make up for low wind generation...

I mean there are. s3, netlify, ...

You can do this with most static site hosts. I guess the only real concern is trying to get dynamic subdomains.

Going by bytes is also simple and objective. And also totally arbitrary, just like going by codepoints.

Which is the most useful for dealing with strings in practice though? Are either interpretations useful at all?

In an emergency situation like this: could they not use helicopters to lift containers off of the ship and just stack them next to the canal until they've freed the ship?

Seems pretty quick to setup and do assuming there are helicopters that can move that weight.
The A-10 was designed to be a more modern Spad (A-1 Skyraider). The Spad was well appreciated in Vietnam in CAS roles, but the Viet-Cong didn't have SAMs. The introduction of SA-6, SA-8 etc made this design a failure in any European conflict.
I try to read each night, getting away from screens, before going to bed. I'm usually reading two books, one fiction and one non-fiction. The fiction can be science fiction, mystery, action. The non-fiction is history or science. Currently, "Archaeology from Space: How the Future Shapes Our Past" (Sarah Parcak) and "Blue Moon" (Lee Child).

> I think my favorite author remains GK Chesterton, he has a couple books I try to re-read every so often. It's fascinating how he was writing around 100 years ago, and how around 25% is super old-timey cultural references or things that no one would think today, but how much of it is still pretty relevant. Also, I haven't read anyone better at turning a phrase.

Years ago, on a whim, I picked up a copy of Lapham's Quarterly in a Barnes & Noble. After that I started picking them up less-than-quarterly (two or three times a year, typically) and finally subscribed last year. It's fantastic to read the themed content (Scandal, Democracy, Trade, etc.) drawn from cultures around the world and throughout history. There's a surprising amount of content ("surprising", not to me I got over my shock regarding this a long time ago through a "world literature" course in college that drew from, mostly, BCE writings and a later Old English course) that, with small modifications, would easily read as contemporary (to us) writing.

Long way to say, if you enjoy Chesterton and have an interest in reading more broadly through history and cultures, but don't know what to read, pick up a copy. You'll probably enjoy it.
Bert Rutan tried to do that. Selling aircraft to the US military is a tough sell unless you're one of the big boys.

Create couple posts praising party/politicians Zuck is favoring and you should be all set.
A couple approaches I have seen which can be effective are:

- Call attention to the timeline and frame things in terms of specific tradeoffs: "Yes we can do A, but that means we won't have the time/resources to do B"

- Propose an incremental approach. I.e. "There are some technical challenges with achieving A+B+C, so what if we start with A, and then asses the best way to reach B and C."

With the incremental approach, I think this can help avoid the stakeholder feeling like they lost something, and 9 times out of 10 once you give them A they will find out that's all they needed in the first place, and they don't end up asking about B+C again.
Who is such a hot target and can take such an independent attitude, even to allowing this to be published? If this had been a bank, they'd have had to report to regulators and likely we'd have heard none of these details for years if ever. Same for most anything else big enough to be a target i can think of offhand.
A quick bit of googling shows that people have been complaining about and reporting this for years.
That's impossible.Tech is currently unregulated anarchy.
Big Tech is allowed to do whatever it wants despite obviously using predatory pricing.
No one takes away your right to cough on someone else. You voluntarily forego your right to cough on someone else in exchange for everyone else doing the same. The vast majority of sane people recognize that we don't want to live in a world where anyone can inject anything into us that they like without our consent, so one of the requirements for living in our society is respect for bodily autonomy, which for better or worse means we can't force someone to get vaccinated either. You can violate this agreement, but then no one else has to uphold the agreement with you.

Every possible action limits in some way the possible actions of others. Your right to speak limits my right to not have my eardrums vibrated. The social contract negotiates how we choose to handle these conflicts. No one will give up their right to speak in general in exchange for the right to quiet, but most of us are fine with limiting how loudly we speak at certain hours of the night in exchange for the same curtesy.

Different people will have different opinions on how valuable various rights are. I'm fine with google reading my emails, so I'll let them in exchange for providing me a free email client with good tools. Others may value their right to privacy more highly and choose not to forego it for something trivial. In the end we all have a unique set of agreements with other members of society which limit what we can and can't do which we may wish to modify from time to time, there isn't one immutable, homogenous code imposed upon all of us by some vague, abstract entity called society.

It seems like they're wrapping up merit into the leveling system.
From my personal experience, when people wish their manager was more technically capable, it indicates some management failure.

I am currently managed by a person who although has a technical background but for a long time is only doing management, so definitely can't do my job. And it is totally fine, because he's not making any technical decisions, these are made by technically excellent people.

Examples of management failures that I have seen on the other hand involve product managers and/or people with sales attitude playing product designers or solution engineer's roles. That doesn't end well and creates a lot of conflict between the management and the technical people.
Relaxing the metrics would be one solution. I think this or required pit stops at the loading facility for bathroom/meal breaks would work. Adding the location of public bathrooms on the apps the drivers use would also help. In all cases though most likely fewer packages would be delivered per driver cutting into profitability. How UPS and FedEx deal with this issue?
There are experiments with full motion digital video dating back to the 1970s. While computers certainly weren't fast enough to stream video data to or from memory (and you'd fill a supercomputer's entire RAM with 2 seconds of uncompressed video), video could be DAC'd in real time while streaming off digital tape, and vice versa. And such tape data could be read in, processed and written out by a computer (slowly...)

Still, while technically possible to do this sort of video compression in 1981, it would have involved extremely specialized hardware to scan the film in the first place, and a good amount of compute time on a real big machine like the Cray-1 to do the compression. (And Rick Astley wasn't a star yet, so what would have been the point?)

Fun fact though: just two years later, Cyndi Lauper's iconic music video was edited in digital form, including the insertion of computer-processed video effects: https://youtu.be/PIb6AZdTr-A?t=90 While such things as picture-in-picture are so common today we don't even notice it unless pointed out, that was mind-blowing at the time. But it took hardware worth a million dollars due to the megabytes of RAM required to fit the 10 second clips they worked with.
Any sympathy I might have had for Amazon is blackholed, due to their reviews being so profoundly compromised.

Pandoc converts to pdf via latex the last time I checked. This may be what you want, but it may not be. When I did html to pdf conversion for a larger project, it wasn't what I wanted. Some of the html structure was lost in translation, and a lot of latex defaults were inserted which isn't what I wanted for that project, and overriding them would have been too time-consuming. Weasyprint didn't have these issues (weasyprint produced better results than wkhtmltopdf).
To add a concrete example of my comment above, I am listening to the NPR video right now and wow at 11:54 in the video the instrument really brings such a beautiful sound to that section change.

They used to have roomkey.com and it would show you all the hotel chains' options. Was actually a very nice site, and you could quickly compare all the lowest rewards member pricing (lower than expedia or priceline offerings, since there was no commission to be paid).

They didn't advertise it for years and then and killed it for some reason.

It's also possible that certain markets (especially with expiring goods like hotels and airlines) earn sufficiently more money via price segmentation that it makes sense to pay middlemen. For example, if you have 100 rooms in a hotel, and you can sell 20 of the rooms for $x, the next 20 for 1.1$x, the next 20 for 1.3$x, the next 20 for 1.5$x, and the last 20 for 2$x, then the ability to price discriminate might be worth it.
Google was/is also the largest sponsor of Mozilla. This doesn't stop Google from sabotaging Mozilla.

2 mln is probably Google's hourly profit. For that they get one of the biggest knowledge bases in the world. It's basically free as far as Google is concerned.

The instant Google becomes confident they can supplant Wikipedia, they will.
mmm another thread on books dudes read and write.
Well, they built Helm which is reasonably successful and carries on their legacy with a large community following. They proved themselves to be among the top experts in the space and got some of the most solid financial backing you can imagine as a result of their efforts; the remaining Deis / Azure folks moved up the value chain, to build AKS, which is also pretty successful and has a large client base.

They built Workflow which was IMHO incredibly popular with those that used it, but, from discussion I had with the folks that moved on leaving Workflow behind, it wasn't "pressure from above," or anything like that; they simply went where the market forces were pulling, and opted to work on what they thought would have the most impact.

Team Hephy has never really had the aspirations to be a business, just to preserve the capability to go on using Workflow on newer generations of K8s. We develop and maintain it because we like using it, we don't need it to change in major ways, and so we aren't really concerned about its commercial viability (which Deis certainly was.)

So, without the SaaS offering, what is the best outcome for a company that develops Workflow? You build up a base of customers who were all too cheap to use Heroku, and once in a while a breaking change from K8s upstream means they depend on your support, but only if they are conscientious about upgrading...

I don't think that means there isn't or wouldn't be any market for Heroku-compatible competitors, not by a longshot. I have no idea if it's a viable market, but I still hear a lot of groaning about how hard it is to use Kubernetes often, and at least twice a year I see someone trying to invent Deis PaaS again. The "Kubernetes On-Ramping" market is still very ripe.

How does it go? "I'm convinced the majority of people managing infrastructure just want a PaaS. The only requirement: it has to be built by them." https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/85193508753294540...

I haven't tried this new one out yet, but I definitely will. Have to scope out the "competition" and see what the grass is like on the other side. I hope it is greener there!
Is there a discussion of it that isn't a video? Video is a terrible way to study a topic in any depth.

> You see this recently with Wikipedia. Google's widgets have been reducing traffic to Wikipedia pretty dramatically.

Wikipedia visitors, edits, and revenue are all increasing, and the rate that they're increasing is increasing, at least in the last few years. Is this a claim about the third derivative?

> Enough so that Wikipedia is now pushing back with a product that the Googles of the world will have to pay for.

The Wikimedia Enterprise thing seems like it has nothing to do with missing visitors and that companies ingesting raw Wikipedia edits are an opportunity for diversifying revenue by offering paid structured APIs and service contracts. Kind of the traditional RedHat approach to revenue in open source: https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise
So from the website's point of view there is no difference between 'crawling' and 'scraping'. Census.gov I assume has a ton of very useful information which is in the public domain which a host of potential companies could monetize by regularly scraping census.gov. Census.gov's purpose to make this information available to people is served by google, yahoo and bing. On the other hand if I have a business which is based on that data, in fact I'm at cross purposes to them.
Given the right support, I've seen lower-knowledge managers really do well. I think a lot of the worse situations I've seen were when someone didn't realize their technical judgement was inapplicable or rusty, and that they needed to defer to their experts.

This is tricky, of course -- for low-level managers with typical engineer IC reports especially, it's super common for them not to have a single report whose judgement they can trust.
From what I've seen the big companies just stink at chat period, so they go in buy a chat company, ruin the product and someone else moves into the space and starts taking market share again.

Wikimedia recently announced Wikimedia Enterprise for "organizations that want to repurpose Wikimedia content in other contexts, providing data services at a large scale".

So they're pretty clearly looking to monetize organizations which consume their data in a for-profit context.
Ahh I replied to the wrong thread. I meant to reply to the parent thread but the point still stands imo.
I don't think it's necessarily that bad when there's a single large company that dominates a space. from a user's perspective, google search is probably better than any alternative involving four or five competitors on equal footing. some things scale really well.

more of a problem is when one company is a big player in several horizontal markets, creating an opportunity to take over new markets with a mediocre offering.
True. Microservice people would reply that microservice enforce modularization (as remote address spaces do not allow for dirty shortcuts). However that argument seems to me like drilling out a spark plug to help yourself with speed limits.
> Getting initial traction with riders

I haven't really used lyft in a couple years but back then it seemed like most drivers were using both apps and preferred taking rides from lyft. Adding a third might not be hard.

Drivers can suggest riders download the co-op app (keep a QR code taped to the back of your headrests) and try to use it first, falling back to uber/lyft if there are no drivers nearby.

While this seems like a good idea in theory, in practice there are some serious hurdles.

- Adding catapult launchers and arrestor wires adds a lot to the requirements. It's not just a matter of making the ship bigger, you need to provide the power for those catapults. Here's a RAND study that looks at alternative carrier designs that has some information on the costs: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR2006.html

- Even if you decide to build these bigger carriers and phase out the LHDs, that takes time. It would take decades, during which you have no fixed wing aircraft you can launch from your LHDs, unless you want to try and revive the Harrier jet program as a stopgap.

- Keep in mind the F-35B (the STOVL variant) is meant to replace the Harrier, so it makes sense to compare the F-35B to the Harrier instead of the F-18 or F-16. The Harrier also had poor availability rates and reliability issues. While the F-35B is worse, it is continuing to improve. And it has both stealth and is capable of supersonic flight, which the Harrier was not. In fact, the F-35B is the first production STOVL aircraft capable of supersonic flight.

- An STOVL aircraft can be used from more than just LHDs. They can be launched from short, improvised airfields on the ground. The marines could potentially operate them from parking lots or just open fields. That's actually a part of some new doctrine the marines are working on, where they maintain a series of rotating, distributed air fields closer to the enemy rather than concentrating their forces on a ship which is easier to detect and potentially more vulnerable. Here's some more information: https://www.mccdc.marines.mil/Portals/172/Docs/MCCDC/young/M...
