Beekeeper-cli whitepaper: https://beekeeper-cli.github.io/

I am an experienced software engineer, and co-creator of beekeeper-cli, a backend-as-a-service application for deploying ephemeral virtual waitroom.
Pretty sure (can't check rn) Big Sur only bundles Python 3.8 (and earlier OSes may be even older Python versions).

Installing 3.9 from python.org might fix this. I can't see which other version they would build against but not include in the install.
Good. Meat industry destroying earth, people's bodies.
I have always hated 0-60 because it depends greatly on transmission shift points, driver ability, rear end ratio, and most of all traction, which OEM street tires have little of.

Let’s go to a full quarter mile, which show a bigger difference, but again not a huge one.

2009: 11.2 seconds/130.5 mph

2019: 10.6-seconds/134 mph

This would be a better comparison of Ford Mustang GT’s of the same year. Massive improvement.

I was a Cloudera client in 2015. I've since moved to company where we did on prem (thousands of nodes) then another AWS shop. Each case was an example of a superior solution to Cloudera. Cloudera's market seems to be shrinking & they need to change.

On Datacoral, it seems like a very good product, simplifying the overhead of data pipeline development but still staying modern. Datacoral has many cool features, such as treating ETLs as code with an option to develop via GUI. The industry is moving that way, has been for some time.

Good for Datacoral to get acquired and get exposure to so many new customers. But Cloudera has their work cut out for them to stay relevant in a market that is extremely competitive.
But that's what I mean -- swapping seems indeed suprisingly easy to write incorrectly, just as you say.

But just randomly picking from a pile seems pretty easy to write correctly. No? And if you have an off-by-one error, your deck of 52 cards gets turned into 51, so it's not like you won't catch it...
You think Firefox UI sucks and so you explain that via imgur? Man I dunno.
Where's the sanctimonious outrage at Skype, which is almost entirely p2p?

Tile?

BitTorrent?

ipfs?

i2p?

Bitcoin?

freenet? (LOL, jk)

Or that software/firmware updates are automatic. Oooh! Also that Alexa is recording all the time without your permission. Insert moral panic here. In addition, 99% of IoT "smart" devices will cease operating whenever the company decides to turn off their servers. Where's the outrage and bikeshedding?

You invited Big Brother into your house, and now you're worried about the tiny bit of power and/or bandwidth to help other people find where the dropped their keys?

Do you think that the neighbors' smart light switches are going to go under their wallplates at night and Torrent porn on your precious idle internet connection without paying you 5 cents?

Gimme a break. Opt-out if you really don't want to also benefit from a globally-distributed 900 MHz LR BLE community mesh network.
Google does not have the power to imprison you or seize your assets. (However their databases are a juicy resource for state functionaries).
Oh, don't get me wrong. I have done my fair share of "leet" and toy code interview problems over the years, and for a while I even used them when I was interviewing and hiring other devs myself.

But then I had some personal experiences that changed my perspective...

There were a couple of jobs that I applied for where I was perfect for the role. Every single piece of technology they used and listed in the job description was something that I had mastered and used with success at other companies.

I got turned down for those roles, however, because I didn't ace their stupid leet-code bubble sort style questions during their interviews. These were trick problems that had NOTHING to do with the actual day-to-day work I would have been doing.

There were a hundred other things they could have looked at to determine that I was a good fit. They could have asked me to show some of my other work. They could have looked at the 100+ projects in my Github. They could have looked at the 20+ written recommendations on my LinkedIn profile all vouching for me (including glowing recommendations from other developers I worked with over the years, many of whom are now working at companies such as Facebook, Apple, and Google.

But nope. Instead of doing any of that, they would rather rely on some leet-code trick questions to gauge my abilities. As a result, they missed the forest for the trees and they lost out on what could have potentially been a perfect fit and a valuable hire.

So yeah. That's why I don't do that type of interview anymore.

If the job is actually for a role that literally solves algorithm problems on a day-to-day basis, then a code test for algorithm problems makes sense. If not, then please don't use them!
I'm in the top decile of that posted chart. Some weeks I'll be higher, some weeks I'll be lower. Usually lower, but always above the ninth. Posting on a throwaway for what should be pretty obvious reasons.

In the past week I've had about three bottles of gin in various cocktails, assorted craft beers of the IPA or imperial stout variety, a couple of whiskeys, and an aperitif most days. I've been drinking mostly while sitting in front of my TV with my iPad out, doing some light programming, working on photo editing, or playing games. Normally I'd spend more time at bars with friends, but it's not exactly a great time for that.

I don't drink before or during work hours, but most hours after work I've either got a drink or I'm making one.

I'm 30ish, I make decent money doing devops, and I like to think the quality of my work exceeds that of most of my peers -- I've certainly gotten feedback saying as much from line managers.

I don't want to be too specific about anything, but I am happy to answer questions, if anyone has any.

The thing that really pissed me off about it is that the same organization that leaked my data in the first place was going to monitor my privacy. But in order to sign up, they needed... more personal data.

No thanks.
This version is painfully slow for me. Yet, starting with a clean profile seems to do the trick. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot it so I don't need to lose all my configuration. I have only 3 addons, but 5000 tabs/21 windows. Also a decade of random about:config tweaks which I suspect are the cause. Issues started with version 87 but got a lot worse today. (I'm on Ubuntu with mozilla.org binaries, Intel Haswell)

Thank you Mozilla!

edit: this is so bad I can't even scoll through about:config to take a look. Typing this text has a >1s delay. Looks like I'm going to need to bite the bullet.

Autosuggestions would simply read "who's to say?"

It would be a fork bomb, each process of which would kill a random pid in an effort to "subvert structures of systemic hegemony".

It would just display its own source code, but as it wished it was, and the result would not execute.

> It's hard to reduce the US to a single culture. Alcohol consumption habits vary greatly from region to region, or even city to city depending on where you live.

This is also true of Europe. What the parent said about France/Croatia/Germany does not reflect the drinking culture in other places.
Ok Mr. Expert "It's just a flu". Except this is Brazil, which is the southern hemisphere, where flu season is May to October.

Quick, find another alternative explanation!
Geez. It ran 11% slower when it had to throttle a bit. That is not crashing. The only reality distortion occurring is a misreading of the article and overstatement of the effects of the reduced cooling in the Air.

Streamyard is a great company so I'll take slightly inferior as a major compliment!

We're actually have all the features of their Professional plan ($50/month) at half the cost.

The on-screen participants per live stream is something we've capped at six for usability reasons (livestreams just don't look good with 10 faces on a stream).
Drugs, alcohol, food so readily available in our society --- I make up random rules to protect myself against society.

For example:
- 3 drink limit, unless it's some kind of special occasion
- don't eat, drink, smoke after 8pm
I think it’s hard to exclude power efficiency since that’s a constraint that matters for a lot of people and is particularly relevant on laptops.

The other noticeable thing for me I think is driver related: instant wake, instant resolution change.

It’s noticeably nicer to use.

Is it faster than a desktop? No, but comparing it to a desktop feels like the weirder comparison to me.
I feel like the tabs are going to break if I click them too hard.
Hey, Onivim contributor here. Thanks for the feedback! I will mention that syntax highlighting fixes are something we’re gonna be focusing on in the coming weeks/months so if you haven’t already, feel free to file an issue on GitHub (or comment on one that looks similar)!
> The popular Total Cookie Protection moves from the optional strict setting to always-on in private browsing. This feature maintains a separate “cookie jar” for each website you visit while browsing privately. Any time a site deposits a cookie, Firefox locks it up in its own cookie jar so that it can’t be shared with any other website.

Why isn't that on all the time, even in normal browsing mode? Like, what breaks because of that? I thought cookies were locked per-domain since the invention of cookies.
I'm very excited to try this out on Android! Is there anybody else out there using Firefox Android for long-running web apps like Twitter? For me FF crashes a few times a day. Crashing so hard that my whole phone locks up for 10-30 seconds. Even the power button doesn't do anything.
Mainly because of liver toxicity. You can damage your liver to the point of needing a transplant with 4000 mg of acetaminophen in a day. There's an offhand mention of it here: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2017/10/31/wa...
So it's bright AND buoyant. This is clearly meant to appease the most technical of us all. :-)

I have yet to try it myself, but thanks for the additional design & privacy work, Firefox team!

I'll have to see if I can get used to this thing where tabs are now buttons.

Even the burger menu doesn't have the small arrow to show where it came from.

It feels like a continuation of the trend to remove hints UI about which things relate to each other.

Maybe I'm showing my length of tooth here, but what's wrong with systemd? I can run a decently sized API on an AWS nano instance that gracefully deploys/releases when creating a release on github. I've just backed off the docker-compose version of this that I was deploying left right and centre to save cost and reduce complexity - it's a breath of fresh air!

Edit: RDS is great for the DB in this setup!
> Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, a lot more.

This is surprising. I rarely have over three tabs ever, and i usually like to keep it at one. If i really need to multitask that many things I'd prefer to open another window and either splitscreen or move it to a different workspace.

I don't like the redesign. I think I'll be moving to brave or ungoogled-chromium despite my dislike for chromium dominance.
A more charitable interpretation of what I wrote would be to understand that I was tying drinking to the happy memories I have with my wife. This was the first sentence of the post you are replying to.

So in this case “under drinking” could be interpreted as a metaphor for being overly cautious and missing out on something enjoyable. Life is dangerous. Snowboarding, going on a road trip, swimming in the ocean, petting a dog, eating street food, traveling. These are all dangerous things that kill people every year. I stand by the statement that we should be cautious of anything prescribing that we avoid these activities completely.
Fyi, the copy button on the Documentation page next copies the dollar signs. Just a little niggle.

Marketing "the best" (most expensive / newest) aren't the best, for most purposes.

I bought a T480 with dual batteries that does run for 10 hours. It has a 2 TiB SSD and 32 GiB. Works fine for me. Water-resistant, repairable, awesome keyboard, and MIL-SPEC drop rated too. Optional magnesium display top assembly cover.
OBS is great, with lots of useful feature.

One setup to combine multiple computers into one video stream I don't see often is to run OBS virtual camera on each computer to capture the local screen, and then feeds the OBS virtual cam videos over NDI to other computers. One of the computers running OBS acts as the combiner to take in all the remote video sources and combine them into the final output video.
Generally speaking, what is better if you value performance and energy efficient hardware? M or Intel based MacBook pro? Price wise Intel based machines seems to be more expensive.

> jump back with my C-x stuff like I do with M-. and M-, - any emacs people have suggestions on how to do that?

Using builtin commands, `C-x <left>` will switch to the previous buffer if you've jumped to another file, or `C-u C-SPC` (popping the mark) should work if you're in the same file. Not sure if this is sufficient for you, but it's a simple option to try.
You find it surprising that people have more than 4 tabs?
I'm not a non-drinker but I would say I have less than one drink in a typical 4 month period.
I watched the videos, now I want pork adobo.
I find the latest Czur works well enough for non-glossy stuff. The broader scanning problem I find is that, beyond the small must scan category, I find I have so much stuff that generally it's not very practical.
Actually, no, I never use them.

I bet they would to reduce labor costs.

I love Firefox ethos, Firefox keeps redesigning itself over and over, and this time, for the worse.

I have a 400 LOC userChrome.css file because the new redesign was barely usable since Firefox beta received this makeover.

- There is no tab contrast, and very difficult to tell tabs apart. Made worse on sides without Favicons.

- I loved the mic/speaker icon when a tab is playing/listening audio. They had to make it TWO lines in the tab, and made it difficult to notice when you have more tabs.

- I could use some icons in the right top menu. It looks nice and easier to use in Edge, that has icons for every option.

- Compact mode is gone, that was discussed here before.

That said, I like the native elements (buttons, up/down arrows, etc). The new icons in the addressbar look nicer and fits nicely in.
So for development in various ecosystems, would you say the M based is superior to Intel based in terms of efficiency and performance?
Their wagons are really gorgeous in my opinion.
Both are based on the work of one scientist Katalin Karikó

She had a pretty tough time getting her work accepted at the time - no one would fund it, she got demoted, everyone said it wouldn’t work etc - as is the way with all genuinely new ideas!

I appreciate the response. Mostly I hate throwaways but this is an appropriate use.

As I’ve gotten older (I’m 40ish) hangovers have gotten worse and worse. It’s now to the point if I have 4-5 medium beers on Friday night I can write off Saturday. Has your subjective experience of hangovers gotten easier over time?
Socializing is a crutch in the US? That seems like an absurd claim. Maybe in big urban cities, but go outside of that and socialization is a key part of life and it’s view as weird if you don’t do it.
You can set browser.proton.enabled to false in about:config to get rid of the new design. I agree that it is a downgrade, but I also think that it's important to keep Firefox around as a counterweight to Chromium.
Well, depends on your definition of "literally hang." It does indeed literally hang (i.e. system becomes unusable, activity monitor impossible to open) for minutes on end if you're not careful; a fact I was somewhat dismayed to discover.

But it's rare enough that I just don't care much. The performance in other areas is too good to gripe about "if I run make -j8 for an hour, it'll hang for a few minutes."
The following is crafted deliberately as something of a worst case scenario; I don't think it is even remotely likely.

So GCC is 3.1 or later. RMS dies and Google, Facebook etc get in control of the FSF: after all, they are major contributors and beneficiaries. While this is going down, fearing the badness around the corner, the GCC project continues work on GCC under 3.1 only (and attempts to stop it, unsuccessfully). The FSF releases 4.0 which is a long and wordy version of 3 clause BSD.

Google now forks the latest version of GCC before the project relicensed it. There are two versions continuing: Google GCC under GPL4+ and GCC GCC under GPL3.1. The community doesn't entirely know which branch to contribute to and amidst the mire all the new features of C++30 get added to a proprietary fork of Clang. In general, free software gets regarded as dusty and old and most development happens on compilers people bought.
Whether it’s capped or not is irrelevant. It’s still taking advantage of a paid resource without explicit permission. Also if it leads to increased demand across an ISP it will inevitably cause higher prices.
There were big mistakes but attributing malice and rejecting experts is just jumping out of the pan and into the fire.
Now none of us will be able to buy beef for a month because a small contingent of reactionaries are going to stockpile. At least that's what happened when there were reports of meat processing plants getting shutdown by COVID. Not to mention the famous toilet paper debacle. I'd almost say we need a legal way to prevent hoarding during these fake shortages, because it's the hoarding that creates the actual shortage.
Hey, Onivim contributor here. Sorry to hear about that syntax highlighting bug! It’s something we’ve received a lot of feedback on, and I know bryphe is planning on dedicating more resources to syntax highlighting fixes in the next couple of months. If you haven’t already, feel free to open an issue on GitHub (or comment on one that’s similar)! It helps us put our finger on where the editor falls short for people.
Huh, that is indeed truly weird - and I would've thought this would not be all that good from a security perspective either.

I'm pretty happy with the nRF ecosystem, it has to be said.
I use tree style tabs because I regularly have 20+ tabs open. Android on my phone right now actually has the infinity symbol instead of a number of tabs open, I think it did that when I crossed 100
Why is using string replacement to, well, replace spaces with dashes if one wants a non-standard string format an outrageous request then? Personally, I've been bitten time and time again by non-standard, hard-coded strftime formats. Either show a localized time and let my system decide the format, or use ISO 8601/RFC 3339. If one must have full control over the format, the Date object exposes getters for each component.
As a layperson in basically all fields except the very narrow field of my professional career, I have basically a zero chance of finding the "right people" and about a 99% chance of finding someone who sounds like the "right people" and aren't.
