Fiber is not significantly harder than Cat6 and the turns can be quite a bit tighter. But terminating can be very expensive; the best price I have for a commercial fiber tech is $100/end.
It depends on who you are profiting from.

You never felt like an economic parasite. Maybe your tenants were okay financally and you didn't squeeze or kick them out. But some renters do squeeze or kick out poor people. That's where the parasite part comes in.
And arguably the CCP has lost far more face by trying to cover everything up, than if they'd admitted there was a leak in the first place, if there was.

In any case, they should have sent out the alarm, and worked quickly and cooperatively to halt it. For example, they should have cancelled outbound flights from Wuhan while the virus was raging there and they were barricading apartment blocks. It looks, at best, negligent that they did not.
I love, as an Australian, waking up in the morning seeing the Australians all talking. During the day it’s all North Americans, but obviously this is a game of time zones.

Anyway. I just wanted to say that, and also, this issue is seemingly everywhere. I’ve been in Toronto Canada for over a decade now and prices have gone crazy for almost that entire time. When i arrived a house in the city was 350-400k, that same house today might fetch 1.6m, or if renovated I’ve seen them sell for as much as $3.8m
This seems like an egregious abuse of statistics.

You, a randomly-selected individual within the borders of the United States, are extremely unlikely to be murdered by police--or anyone else.

You, a person who is in the process of being pulled over by US police, have just had the likelihood of being murdered by police skyrocket. Is it more likely than not? Of course not! But it's dramatically more likely than it was before you were pulled over.

If you're a woman, it's hardly any more likely. If you're white, it's not much more likely. If either of those things are not true, then the odds increase enough that it's certainly worth asking your phone to record whatever happens.

The article isn't 100% clear on this, but I got the impression this was the upstream driver for an IBM product (VNIC) that the guy worked on as part of his job, but listed his gmail address in the maintainers file... In which case, fair enough.

Yes.

Very few developers are paid by the hour. Your contract defines what hours you're expected to be available, but your pay isn't related to that. If you work more hours, or less hours, you pay doesn't change (assuming you're not paid overtime.)

Whether or not your employer owns what you do in your hours outside of what you're contracted to work is a matter of what you negotiated when you joined. That often comes as a surprise to less experienced developers.

Some disclaimers: I am not an expert on Chromium or even web development and this is all quite ignorant and subjective.

But I have noticed that plain text is sometimes very slow to render in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi) under heavy load. The issue may to be related to a process-per-browser-tab architecture: a bloated and fragmented block of memory attached to a tab/process can’t be easily freed / allocated. So if you’re on a tab that was previously loading lots of stateful JS, then switch to plain text, Chromium might get stuck in memory management for the tab instead of short-circuiting its architecture by allocating memory solely for the page.

I am not at all an expert here and don’t know how Chromium works under the hood. I don’t think it’s literally one-process-per-tab, I just have a vague sketch of what the problem might be here. But I think “idiots like nicklecompte have 700 tabs open and complain that tab 361 doesn’t load plain text quickly” is a problem that’s very difficult to solve in general, even if a dedicated “simple” engine might offer a lot of case-specific fixes.

I haven't tested as sufficiently as the OP, but I discovered firsthand that the Everdrive GB x7 consumes more power than a standard cart. If I had to guess, I'd guess almost as much as the EZ-FLASH Junior.

My modded GB Pocket wasn't able to use either cart until I replaced the batteries with lithiums that boasted 1.5v output.

> in many places you can't sell your property

This is very hard to understand. Why does this happen? Do you really own your property if you can't sell it? Or do you just have a permit to use it?
"If you go off and build skyscrapers. Maybe some people want to live in skyscrapers but if the result of this policy is that the middle class who used to be able to live in a nice semi/detatched house are now living in flats in a skyscraper that is a massive detriment to their quality of life."

What this fails to acknowledge is that the demand for density doesn't change when you outlaw it. All you've done is taken away people's choices, mandated your own preferences, and still in the end all the same demand for more housing goes on existing just the same, anyway, so prices continue to rise.

It may be true that all things being equal most people prefer detached single-family housing, but all things aren't equal! And so we have to acknowledge the tradeoffs and take the demand for more density seriously. (The fact that in order to get detached single-family housing in high-demand areas you have to make the alternatives illegal is I think pretty strong evidence for this.)
I’m not the poster, but personally I would.
I go to London quite regularly and usually stop by San Fran once a year (not 2020). I personally find the BART similar to the MARTA (Atlanta) and DART (Dallas).

I don’t know if you live in London, but I would say they compare to the Northern Line it terms of quality. But at the end of the day the real difference is about riders. I would say you do notice more issues like littering (including dangerous litter like needles) and robbery in the US train lines though.

However, just like most public train lines, you have to learn to mind your business, be aware and don’t lallygag. Also, stick to using it during the day.

If you are a salaried worker at IBM and choose to work on an IBM driver in the IBM kernel driver directory in your spare time isn't that fair?

In other words, if you optionally choose to do work after hours for no extra pay then it's still considered work and the company is probably still liable for it.

On the other hand if he chose to write and publish music in his spare time, or a video game, he should he able to use his personal email address, or I would hope IBM would give him permission to do so.
No, if you give back to your investors they may still hold the stock; it’s up to them what to do. You’re just transferring the stock from your account to theirs.
Yeah, I keep hearing about how homeowners are "chained", but I'm on my second house and I've also rented in between houses.

One apartment had an 18 month lease and the other an initial 12 month lease, with the option to renew on an 18 month, 12 month, or month by month basis. That means, unless I was willing to incur heavy penalties, I couldn't move until the lease was up. Even now, we're kind of paying a mortgage and rent because there's a couple months of overlap.

Whereas, when I sold my house, I called a realtor, said I wanted to sell and it happened when it happened. We closed in March on our current house, I could sell it today if I wanted.

I think home-ownership and rental both have their places. And someone mentioned a housing co-op situation. That's new to me. That's likely worth exploring a bit as well.
Then it sounds like you're in the second category I describe above, not the first.

Personally, I'd be unlikely to hire somebody in the "great coder who won't write documentation" category. But I'm happy to help a mission-oriented person find the right thing for them, even if it's not with me. Right now I'm also going to a great deal of effort to find the right people for a role.

And I don't particularly ache for helpful employees. What I want are people who care enough about the problems to think deeply about them and find approaches to solving them that I might never have come up with. And then are intrinsically motivated to see them through. If in that process they come to me with problems, that's great. Solving employee problems so they can get stuff done? That's my job.

Nice writeup! It's always neat to see hardware stacking up. Good work on your design if efficiency wasn't explicitly a goal (even if it was, I guess).

The lower power consumption on newer hardware's probably down to raw power efficiency gain in the fabrication process itself. I'm not surprised there.

I actually am a little surprised that rando hardware seems to pattern that close to the original in general. I would've expected wider variation.

Or maybe people can take responsibility for their kids rather than forget them with an underpaid, under-motivated teachers. You can cram 12 years of public school bullshit in 4-6 years, and have 6-8 years to teach them useful things like programming and construction.
I don't think things like this lie on the capitalism-communism spectrum. You're an employee during work hours, and what you do outside of work hours is your own. It's completely orthogonal to capitalism or socialism. Capitalism definitely has its issues, but this is not one of them as far as I can tell.

The turns in fiber can be tighter than in Cat 6, really? Granted my experience pulling any kind of cable is most of two decades stale by this point, and my one experience with installing fiber considerably older still - I'm still surprised to hear fiber could be easier to pull.
I also like it, despite I have to admit: As a vegan person, I would not like to contribute to software parts named after sausage ;-)
Being pulled over is incredibly safe, there's almost zero chance of being shot for people who aren't antagonizing. Policing in America is overly assertive, but remember that almost 1/2 the people they pull over have guns, it's dangerous for them as well creating a bad kind of civil standoff. While more police training and oversight is necessary, it won't materially change the dynamic in any kind of statistically consequential way, it will just be more consistently fair.
This is similar to what $myclient is doing.

Parent comment doesn't mention whether identification of versions is done manually or whether they just grab master. If the latter, it's probably reasonable. At $myclient, every release to stage and prod requires teams to manually identify each version of each microservice as well as the stories (JIRA tickets) that are being deployed. This is extremely painful, time-consuming, and error-prone. Avoid at all cost; as the number of services grows, the pain/time/error cost appears to increase geometrically.

> There is nothing about the previous "landed" status of my neighbors that will affect the value of my property.

Suppose everyone who wanted to had the ability to own land in New York (obviously not possible geometrically, but for sake of argument). Do you think that property in New York would still be worth the same?

Land only has a buying price/rent because there is an unmet demand. This is a principle economists realized centuries ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_rent

> Not to mention, if you're seeking to reside, not speculate, the "value" of the property is kinda immaterial.

The modern property ownership system basically forces homeowners to be speculators. If you have to pay hundreds of thousands (or even millions!) to buy a home, are you really going to be okay if it takes a massive hit (or doesn't go up in value as much as expected)?
Renting and buying can both turn out well depending on your individual circumstances. If you buy you eventually have a house rent free. However if your rent you probably spend less on rent - so invest that difference and you end up with about the same.

With real estate "location location location". In some areas there are situations that will make one or the other better. Everybody has their own life goals, and that in turn will feed into what is better for you.
The recent revisionist trend towards "the communists won the war" is a rather silly and bald faced effort to glamorize that broken system. This is nonsense.

Lol the title IS the clickbait here, just as elsewhere. Interested parties react on emotion that's implied in the title. Oftentimes, as here, the title is exaggerated or alarmist or intended to invoke an emotional reaction that gets people to CLICK on it. Hence the term.
> rent, disappear and you can start saving.

that's not true. At any point in time, the cost of the capital is going to be comparable to rent. If you owned 100% if equity in the house, what you're "losing" is the potential rental income from the house, in exchange for the free rent you don't have to pay, plus the difference in the income from investing in the stock market (assume a maximally diversifed portfolio). AKA, imputed rental income.

The only bit you save is the tax that you didn't have to pay, if you actually earned the imputed rental income from your own property.

It's an illusion that living can be free. Renters pay in straight hard cash, so it's easy to count that cost. Owners pay in opportunity cost lost in the locked up capital in the house, or the interest payment (or some combination of interest and lost opportunity cost of capital).

There is a very fine line between destroying evidence, and refusing an investigation.

...and, don't get me wrong - I believe it's entirely possible that covid-19 escaped from the Wuhan Lab - but a refusal to be party to a politically charged investigation should not infer guilt.

Your rational is similar to assuming someone is guilty because they refuse to answer police questions.

Two ways I've seen it done reasonably well.

The somewhat more modern way with Kubernetes deployments is the Helm "chart of charts" pattern, where your system level deployment is a single Helm chart that does nothing but pull in other charts, specifying the required semantic version of each sub-chart in the values.yaml file.

The older, but also much more flexible way I've seen it done is through something a local system architect developed a while back that he called a "metamodule." This was back when Apache Ivy was a preferred means of dependency management when Apache Ant was still a popular build tool and microservices were being deployed as Java OSGi components. Ivy defines a coordinate to uniquely identify a software dependency by organization, module, and revision. So a metamodule was just a module, but like the chart of charts, it doesn't define an actual software component, but rather a top-level grouping of other modules. Apache Ivy is significantly more flexible than Helm, however, allowing you to define version ranges, custom conflict managers, and even multiple dependencies that globally conflict but can be locally reconciled as long as the respective downstreams don't actually interact with each other.

Be aware both of these systems were for defense and intelligence applications. Personally, I would just recommend trunk based development and fail fast in production for most consumer applications, but for things that are safety or mission critical, you can't do that and may have very stringent pre-release testing and demonstration requirements and formal customer acceptance before you can release anything at all into ops, in which case you need the more complicated dependency management schemes to be able to use microservices.

Arguably, in this case, the simplest thing to do from the developer's perspective is don't use microservices and do everything as a monorepo instead, but government and other enterprise applications usually don't want to operate this way because of being burned so much in the past by single-vendor solutions. It's not totally impossible to have a monorepo with multiple vendors, but it's certainly a lot harder when they tend to all want to keep secrets from each other and have locally incompatible standards and practices and no direct authority over each other.

What's your top prospects so far if you don't mind sharing since we have similar desires?
This is absolutely false. I have lived in many of these communist buildings, and the reality here is that these buildings are built so extremely badly and without any consideration of the surrounding that nothing can be done. The communists used toxic materials, didn't care about maintenance and simply built a wall where a maintenance shaft should've been, didn't care about safety, didn't care about families sharing master bedroom walls, etc etc. Thus these buildings are waiting for end-of-life to be torn down. That's typical of communist 'efficiency' - loud boasting of unbelievable achievement while shit's all fucked up.

Every building that reasonably could be repaired is beautifully reworked today, because construction is expensive and working with what is already there is almost always cheaper, if at all possible. However profit is not really the main argument as these buildings are typically owned by the inhabitants nowadays, and they should have the choice of what to do with their own property, don't you think?

The thing that shocks me most about my childhood photos is how the city looked absolutely horribly terrible - every building was mid-destruction, no paint anywhere, valuable historical buildings with falling walls and destroyed windows, etc; even the damn child nursery had paper boxes in few windows instead of glass! I'm very happy that I didn't notice it much back then and when I was teen most buildings got at least painted over. Growing up in the environment of my younger childhood must've been extremely depressing.
Yeah I checked again and there's definitely more 'standard' acid in there. Now it's just waiting until someone records it and posts it as being theirs :)

It is not obvious such contracts are legal without any form of compensation. E.g. some company have a clause where if you invent something in your free time they can choose to buy the invention from you at a fixed price determined by the contract, and that is legal. But it is not as clear that just getting all intellectual property without any extra compensation is legal. A contract need to be quid pro quo, and in addition to that local employment law can contain limitations.
If you read the original report, it basically boils down to: we trained a classification model, and it said that X% of the people posting about QAnon on Facebook are Chinese and Russian. How this classifier works or what features it uses is not explained. Whether the classifier can tell apart a person in mainland China paid by the government to post and a Falun Gong adherent in the US is also not discussed. QAnon is heavily anti-Chinese, and Falun Gong has heavily promoted QAnon, so it would be surprising if the Chinese government were supportive of QAnon conspiracy theories.
LIDARs are a ToF sensing system but use a rotating sensor or some other motion to capture many points at a time over a field of view. Imagine taking the sensor in the Microsoft article and having several of them on something that scans back and forth across a field of view.

Some LIDARs do use phase shift as described. Others can use a pulse of light and measure that directly, while others use frequency modulation. Phase shift is just one way to measure distance using light.
in my social circle, the number one reason why families leave the city is the abysmal public school system. it's not a big deal to the wealthier families, since they can just send their children to private schools. middle income families usually can't afford that, but they can afford to hop over the county line and send their children to the very good public schools out there.

at least in my area, I wouldn't say the city has "abandoned" families. rather, it has focused mainly on improving public education for children from poor families. this is a noble goal, but it imposes tradeoffs that the middle class families are mostly unwilling to accept. since they have the ability to leave, they do.
What you're saying is mostly accurate...if you're talking about Western Democracies (for some value of "Western" and some value of "Democracy", at least). It is not accurate for China.
