All I’m saying is that many new features are supported by CF first, for obvious reasons. Overall though yes, TF has a broader feature set and better documentation. I generally prefer to read TF AWS docs to reading AWS’ own, even outside of TF context.
It’s fine for you to have a custom internal definition of a word, but it’s counterproductive for you to use it to offer veiled praise for patent misconduct. Edgy semantics for the sake of edginess is neither clarifying nor educational.
Google is mainly concerned with protecting its own advertising turf and the data its platforms gobble up: search, YouTube, Gmail, Android, Maps. Apple may be gunning for market share in some of these areas, but hard to imagine Google losing its dominance here any time soon. YouTube and search are absolute behemoths, and monstrous cash cows.

Seen through this lens, their enterprise offerings and free messaging services are almost an afterthought.
I think you’re being overly reactive to the OP. Glee would be a lot more blatant and celebratory of the misfortune of others. I don’t think that’s their point. Not mine anyway.

I’m pushing back on the sentiment you pose because it’s far too often used and oppressively effective.

More people should really read this book. Its great that functional programing is on the rise, but the shitty object systems of C++ and Java have poisoned OOP in most people's mind. CLOS is an awesome object system and TAOTMP really highlights what you can do with a good object system.

Functional programing is still awesome, but for high-level work I think the multiparadigm languages like Scala, Swift, and CL are the way to go.

It's never been proven (as far as I'm aware) that the guy was actually able to send commands to a real plane. It's no surprise that he was able to read data, because the seatback screens have to get the flight data they display from somewhere.

If "abolish the police state" was meant, "abolish the police state" should have been said.

You don't need these police, wonderful. Propose changes, phase them in gradually to prove that they're better than the status quo (we can't just go ahead and assume that with no evidence now can we), work out the kinks so that we're not left with a crime wave in the interim while your bold new ideas are being perfected. I'm non-ironically all for that. The obvious one to try first is funding teams of a police officer paired with a mental health nurse, with self defence training of course. Don't defund anything and anyone to do this; it may or may not work and then you'll need to refund police and that'll be awkward.

Struggling to understand how "severely curtail their monopoly on violence" can be meant in a positive way. Who do you propose should also engage in violence lawfully? People's Self Defence Militia Units?

The most compelling reason is probably still the open source ecosystem. There's just a relative plethora of django extensions and plugins that Phoenix (and Elixir) lacks.
if your team already knows python and you don't need realtime websockets as a first class feature, django is probably a better bet. The best language for yoru project is always the oen you can drop preexisting libraries for in a language you already know.

That said, I delved into elixir and haven't looked back. My ios engineer is always mentioning how crazy fast it is compared to previous stacks he's worked with.
In a similar vein, all non-tiled GPUs do some form of lossless framebuffer compression purely as a bandwidth optimization (it doesn't save on DRAM footprint because that would mess too much on the fly with the memory layout and you'd need to allocate for the worst case anyway). The simplest case is indeed fast clears (to any color/depth/stencil value) but it also works at a finer grain. It's essential for MSAA where a single pixel on your display is resolved from up to 16 subpixel samples which most of the time are strongly correlated. E.g. 1 constant color, or 2 constant colors separated by a line (from a triangle edge). And not just color but depth: with a 16x MSAA pixel covered by a single triangle you have 16 distinct depth values but they are all coplanar, so you can compress them losslessly by just storing the plane equation's coefficients.

It is better but not so much as I thought then. Ah well, it is still a young industry.
Building a Tag Input Component with the Vue 3 Composition API
I've been working with IPv4 since 1993, back when getting a SLIP or PPP connection was uncommon. I set up my first IPv6 tunnel back in 2007. When properly configured, IPv6 is no more difficult to set up than a IPv4 connection with DHCP: It just works.

It's actually simpler than IPv4 in many respects. For example, prefix delegation: My router is getting an IPv6 /56 block from my ISP using DHCPv6. It is then handing out /64 blocks of on several different subnets with minor configuration.

The average user doesn't care about IP addresses. They're using DNS.

A bit O/T, but a few things from that blog jumped out at me:

1. I clicked the we're hiring link. Most roles are in EU (particularly UK and Spain). Is that for cost reasons? I know hiring engineers is cheaper in those two locations in particular. Or is it for EU/Badoo reasons?

2. Despite frequently playing up its female-led workplace, all but one of the blog posts are authored by men (based on photos and names). Is this reflective of their staff? The Badoo staff? The pool of people who like to write blog posts?

In a way, this has occurred. The Microsoft Bob, full-virtual-environment sort of 3D is not popular but modern UI's are generally hardware accelerated and use lightweight 3D effects to enhance UX, whereas this was very uncommon in the 1990's.
Yeah, my personal experience over the past 18 months has led to some changes in how I view the structure of work.

I don’t get burned out from working too much; I get burned out from having to make constant decisions about what I’m going to work on and how I’m going to do it. For me lack of structure is the primary source of burnout, not workload. The flexibility of working from home is nice, but not enough to make up for the increased stress of having to manage the environment all on my own.

Obviously not everyone is like me, but I think it’s common enough that we should be questioning the wisdom of the work-from-home free-for-all.
> So if the transportation will be twice expensive, it will translate into price increase only of 10%.

Which can lead to riots. Imagine the worst off, the people making minimum wage and similar, who see their food increase in price 10% across the board. The spark for the Yellow Vests in France movement was a small increase in taxes on fuel :
`tax increase had been 7.6 cents per litre on diesel and 3.9 cents on petrol in 2018, with a further increase of 6.5 cents on diesel and 2.9 cents on petrol planned for 1 January 2019`

Those protests raged for more than a year, and were stopped only by the pandemic, and caused billions of euros of various damage and have left multiple people dead and wounded.

And fuel, as vital as it might be in rural areas to move, is significantly less important than food which even people who can move around on bike or public transit need to survive.

What public service does the government forbid me to access without my papers (except the ones where the document is needed to charge the state for the service - eg. medical stuff)?

Just a year ago, saying that the governments will require you to produce a "vaccination passport" to enter a restaurant was laughed at as a crazy conspiracy theory, and currently, the difference between a "crazy conspiracy theory" and "reality" is about 6-12 months.
A contributing factor to this was the early and still fairly-extant asymmetry between upload and download bandwidth. This is going away slowly, especially with fiber (e.g. Verizon), but it was typical from the end of the dialup era right up until today to have upload be perhaps 1/10th of download bandwidth. This puts quite a crimp in self-hosting anything that becomes (or is hoped to become) particularly successful.

I had a friend who was there at the start of IP-over-cable, and they were particularly excited about the promise that they would be offering symmetric upload/download performance. By the time it became a consumer product, that too had this major asymmetry baked in.

Abusing C# binding redirects for fun and profit – Injecting custom code
Likely the opposite. A reduction of optionality reduces the opportunities for dependency injections.

When you load 50 (or for the tree, 500) independently developed modules the probability of failure (or vulnerability) is typically the sum, not product, of the failure probability of each component. The same reason why not everything is implemented as a fleet of microservices.

Few worry that the TCP implementation in your OS is a monolith, and one that is tightly integrated with the IP code. This will make increasing sense further up the stack, for good or ill.

The title of this article is somewhat silly to me. The subscription fee has never been a surprise to anyone who's owned one.

The point of a Peloton is to do the classes, either for running or spinning, which require a subscription. It would be silly to buy a premium device who's point is to use the subscription based features and specifically intend to use it without the subscription. Just buy a similar treadmill from another company.
> But what stopped you from distancing from people and using self-checkouts before the pandemic?

This was not uniformly accepted behaviour. Yes, some people could find roles and a situation where this was possible before, but most couldn't. Stores didn't really optimize for a self-check out experience.

The social pressure in many organizations and communities to conform was high and there was no escape. If you you wanted to work at a tech company or startup you would have to accept open offices, happy hours, and other social requires to a great extent. It was not acceptable to skip many events and you had no option to switch your working environment in the office because the only option was open space.

The pandemic has forced a change, most importantly, in a relatively uniform manner. I'm not making the argument that we should all accept this other extreme. Just as we return to normality we should consider the experiences of others, and try to make some reasonable adaptations.

>And you're seriously downplaying the risks of COVID-19 here, of course it is relatively harmless for very young people. But it is seriously dangerous for a large part of the population that is older.

It's not only "very young" people. Did you look at the link I provided? For people 20-30, it's around one in a hundred thousand. For people 30-50, it's around one in ten thousand (similar to giving birth). When someone's making a rational decision, it's with regard to their individual risk; the risk of covid to an eighty-year-old is irrelevant to a twenty-year-old deciding whether to take the vaccine, especially given the vaccine doesn't prevent them infecting others if they get it (see this data from the Singapore government: https://covid.viz.sg/ ).

>for vaccines they generally appear reasonably close to the date of the vaccination.

The MRNA vaccines are quite different from normal dead/live virus vaccines and have never been used at scale.

> Yes, all evidence I've seen indicates that cars partially driven by computers

Emphasis on PARTIALLY. Anyone who has read recent takeover scenario studies is rightfully horrified at the notion of a completely “hands off” driving experience, where the driver is expected to remain alert and vigilant but they’re not inputting any steering, throttle, or braking. Unsurprisingly, it takes people about 2 seconds to re-engage as active drivers. 2 seconds is way too long, which is why it may be safer to NOT use a system that does steering input in addition to throttle and brake. You need to keep the drivers actively engaged. And no, “touch the steering wheel every 30 seconds” is not active engagement. And if a car has “self driving” but also active driver monitoring, what’s the point? The driver doesn’t get to relax at all. The stress of driving doesn’t come from the input unless you’re racing. The stress of driving comes from having to stay alert. If I have to stay alert, I’d rather just drive myself instead of trusting an experimental system that drives like an indecisive, half-blind grandmother.

The BMW was safe PRIMARILY because it’s a well-designed, modern car, driven by an older and wealthy (safe) demographic. The assistance systems are probably secondary. They weren’t even standard on all vehicles and they were very primitive in that first generation.

If you actually read the Forbes article above, the back of the napkin math actually DOESN’T indicate that Teslas in autopilot are safer than normal driving. That’s the entire contention. I do not think these full-takeover systems are safer at the present time than active human drivers in comparable vehicles with safety assist systems. Tesla is very clearly fudging the numbers to make it appear as if autopilot is safer, but the claim doesn’t stand up to some really basic analysis.

I’m not sure that is exactly true. I’m not personally concerned with agents of chaos, but I am concerned with those that would victimize others to get what they want. I don’t know how to stop that. Some say the option of stable employment helps, so they get pushed through to graduation. I would personally choose a different path, such as holding public trial as in the real world, with academic punishments, and juvie if they don’t comply. But it’s probably far more complicated than I imagine.
International diplomacy is not about doing what’s fair, it’s about doing what you can get away with.

Talking about some principle your opponent isn’t adhering to while violating it at the same time is common place. It’s the same tactic as when China says “how dare the US criticize our actions when they have racial issues of their own”. Of course ignoring that the China human rights violation is official government policy while the US is a policy violation and clearly rejected by the population and government.

I love these little embedded languages, but I really want one that supports type annotations. I'm specifically want something that can generate large configuration structures (e.g., Kubernetes YAMLs, CloudFormation YAMLs, Terraform HCLs, etc) and I want some static typing because the iteration loops can be quite long (minutes) which is too long to test every branch and writing and maintaining unit tests to catch type errors is a huge waste of time.
And Russia agreed to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons.
Yes, but at the cost of supply chain vulnerability. So it's either really cheap stuff, or long-term security of goods.

Clearly the "really cheap stuff" angle has seriously embroiled American prosperity so it's arguable the benefits do not outweigh the costs in aggregate.
