Oh, I see. No, sorry, I didn't mean to make a statement like that at all. I meant that it's frustrating when (good) SaaS companies don't even take the basic first step of putting up a screenshot so we can see what it is. Sometimes, of course, it's not applicable or even easy to screenshot, but I can't think of too many SaaS's that can't provide at least a mockup of what it does for you (even the server-focused SaaS's).

For example, I mentioned Userify; how about another (much better) example of Ansible Tower/AWX? It's great to just see a screenshot of the dashboard: https://www.ansible.com/products/tower

This is an example of another great product that's much better marketed than Userify, IMO.

I actually think all people in the developed world - rich people of course most of all, but “commoners” too - do need to learn to be content with a lot less. Before the industrial era, the average person in England owned 36 objects. And that’s counting like 1) table 2) bowl 3) cup 4) knife. The way people in America and Europe have been taught to live in the last century - even the lower-middle and working class, let alone the rich - is inherently unsustainable, and can never be sustainable. “Buy less sh*t” should be the first and most powerful front in our fight against climate change, but it isn’t because we are selfish and gluttonous beasts.

Probably with whatever programming language you are currently best at. Virtually every modern language has a quick happy path to the web.

More specifically, those skilled in HTML/JS/CSS (and particularly WebGL) can do a shitload of damage on first order terms. E.g. everything inlined into single index.html file out on Github Pages. Doesn't get much faster than that.

If you have a little bit more time, you can investigate some systems-level programming options. I can provide a solid recommendation for C#/.NET. Blazor in particular is a really compelling way to put the type system of C# on top of your web components. For a "dumb small" game, the expressiveness of C# 8.0+ might be a bit overkill, but it is still really fucking nice to have all the same. If you want 100% functional UI you can just pull that lever whenever you are ready. Also, operating with Blazor in server-side mode would enable very trivial and responsive multiplayer experiences (assuming participants are near the server). This approach could be compelling for settings like corporate, campus, event, private LAN, etc.
This is definitely a component to keeping overall cost low. One that many Americans don’t want to admit. There’s a lot of people in the US all for lower health care costs, lower drug costs, etc. Most will insist that it’s doable without any sacrifices from highly paid doctors, nurses, scientists, technologists, etc. I don’t think it’s possible without everyone with their hand in the cookie jar taking a cut.
Firefox has never had a 3d tab view on Android. It has had a grid or list view. Pretty sure the same is true on iOS but I don't use it as often as Android.

For the idiots down voting me:

The California state minimum wage is $13 for employers with 25 or less employees, $14 for employers with more than 25. A person would make more money working full time at a fast food establishment than running a cleaning service if their are making only $20K annually. You would have to go back several years when the minimum wage was less than $10.

I ran a consulting business for years as a sole proprietor. It is a viable operating entity, especially for one person. I also had a business liability policy, which you will also want as a single member LLC. It is actual quite easy to pierce the liability protection that an LLC offers, especially for single member companies because many people intermingle assets and debts, such as when personally guaranteeing a loan. If you injure somebody while on the job or engage in professional malpractice, the LLC shield won't protect you. And finally, fraud; if you are using the LLC as a buffer to commit illegal acts, a court will find the company is nothing more than your alter ego and hold you personally responsible.

If you are a software developer, run your business as a sole proprietor until you are ready to sell your product or hire employees, then convert the business to an LLC. You will still get the first year waiver.
I think that means the wife takes the vast majority of leave in almost every case. That's fine, though, if that's the parent's choice. I think I like this policy.
The real issue is consumption. This drives CO2, various pollution, factory farming, deforestation, decline of natural species (eg fish stocks), etc. Some Indian states recently announced efforts to basically cap the number of children at 2. Although China has expanded it's policy from 1 to 2 and is now suggesting that 3 may be ok.
There is a growing number of academics who might argue that the spectacle can be part of the substance. For quite a long time, spectacle (or even advocacy) has been regarded as problematic in academia, particularly in the sciences. I see a lot of what West does as making “good trouble” that gets really important philosophical issues added to the general discourse
It looks as though those numbers are mistaken.

No company where the core product is technology should have an engineering team that reports to the CFO.

At a bank or in retail sure, it may make sense for IT to report to the CFO. At a healthcare proivder or insurance company, ok sure that makes sense. In that case, IT is really just another part of the plumbing because the core product isn't really technology anyway. The blog post is moot because the technology itself will have a minimal impact on the value added by the company, which is elsewhere, and nobody in IT is likely to have a seat at the product discussion table anyway.

But at a technology company? One where the core value add is software products or services or hardware? I don't believe it. I simply don't think that any company that places management of technology based core value added products under the CFO can succeed. If there happens to be some company out there that has this structure, I'd treat them as having a big target on their back - they're ripe for disruption by a company where technology leads.

None of this actually matters. Consensus algorithms allow you to achieve consensus. Period. There's no requirement whatsoever on what you're getting consensus on. A consensus value could be _one_ database update, but it doesn't need to be. It can also consist of 666 database transactions across 42 different namespaces.
No, because the lynchpin of these physical technologies we need are going to be just that, physical. No amount of neural networking or cryptocurrency mining is going to be anything other than peripheral to the advancements based on basic research in physical science.

It seems like an ethical move if you agree with Peter Thiel's model of stagnant US. Since we don't grow anymore, the only way for advancement is for others to step aside. We're not creating new spots from expansion like in the 50s. So taking up high earning spots to accumulate above self sustaining amount is taking jobs from others that haven't reached their FIRE number (which could be seen as unethical).
This doesn't apply to new/growing fields like tech.

If people are used to proving their health status on an app to go to a restaurant or football match, it will be hard for them to object if the app is extended to also prove that they are in the country legally and aren't wanted by the police, for example.

For now.

The original HTTP (now retroactively called HTTP/0.9) also had none of these, and also wasn't extensible enough; it had no headers at all, just the verb (GET) and the path. Yet somehow, it was later extended to include all of these.

Honestly I think the answer is simpler: People don't need better algorithms. Paxos and Raft are generally used to build service discovery and node coordination, these are not demanding workloads and overwhelmingly read-heavy.

The whole section on "bin-packing Paxos/Raft is more efficient" is strange, because people don't generally bin-pack Paxos/Raft—The bin-packing orchestrators are built off of Paxos/Raft!

I hope and pray you and your family are well! This summer is a scorcher! Here is my brief and candid letter of resignation: "How sad it is to see our beloved Harvard Divinity School in such decline and decay. The disarray of a scattered curriculum, the disenchantment of talented yet deferential faculty, and the disorientation of precious students loom large. When I arrived four years ago - with a salary less than what I received 15 years earlier and with no tenure status after being a University Professor at Harvard and Princeton - I oped and prayed I could still end my career with some semblance of intellectual intensity and personal respect. How wrong I was! With a few glorious and glaring exceptions, the shadow of Jim Crow was cast in its new glittering form expressed in the language of superficial diversity: all my courses were subsumed under Afro-American Religious Studies, including those on Existentialism, American Democracy, and the Conduct of Life, no possible summer salary alongside the lowest increase possible every year. Yet I delivered two convocation addresses and one commencement speech in four years. I was promised a year sabbatical but could only take one semester in practice. And to witness a faculty enthusiastically support a candidate for tenure then timidly defer to a rejection based on the Harvard administration's hostility to the Palestinian cause was disgusting. We all new the mendacious reasons given had nothing to do with academic standards. When my committee recommended a tenure review - also rejected by the Harvard administration - I knew my academic achievements and student teaching meant far less than their political prejudices. Even my good friends in the Afro-American and African Studies Department were paralyzed, given their close relations to the administration. And after teaching extra courses, including five courses in one year, this silence continued. When the announcement of the death of my beloved Mother appeared in the regular newsletter, I received two public replies (just as that of my colleague Dr. Jacqueline Olga Cooke-Rivers who received none when her blessed Mother died). Any ordinary announcement about a lecture, award or professional advancement received about twenty replies! This kind of narcissistic academic professionalism, cowardly deference to the anti-Palestinian prejudices of the Harvard administration, and indifference to my Mother's death constitute an intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of deep depths. In my case, a serious commitment to Veritas requires resignation - with precious memories but absolutely no regrets!"

Seems like you'd intentionally plant many small/short trees that will act as nice crash barriers, not large strong trees that act like brick walls. Orchards tend to be short trees anyway.

Hitting the tree equivalent of those sand-filled barrels sounds a lot better than dissipating that same energy by either A) flipping, or B) colliding with oncoming traffic.

It would be interesting to see the videos of "crash testing" various types of orchards!

> Right. I have valid credentials for a system which grant me read access to a bunch of binaries. Are you saying that I need explicit authorisation to copy those?

Yeah, you do.

> Agreed! I'm not going to be able to cause you to implicitly accept a EULA by doing something you already have permission to do, just as Microsoft wouldn't be able to cause me to implicitly accept a EULA by copying a binary that isn't subject to copyright law.

Then take the bet. I'm not even asking you to give me $1000 if you lose.

> You seem to be conflating two different situations. At present, since Windows is considered to be under copyright, Microsoft are in a position to enforce a EULA that would forbid me from doing that, even if the model I generated would produce output that wasn't considered to be a derivative work of Windows. If software couldn't be copyrighted at all then their ability to enforce that would be significantly weakened.

Ah, but you forgot one thing: Microsoft and GitHub are claiming that training a machine learning model is under fair use, which is an exemption to copyright. So if they sue you for training a model with their code, then they either do not actually believe that training an ML model is fair use, or they think that they can enforce the EULA without copyright.

Either way, take the bet. Prove me wrong.
My specific case is keeping a cloud copy of my audio media, in the order of 30 to 80 GB and most files do not change with metadata in auxiliary files. I started the initial upload and went to bed--it may have taken a few hours. Either sync or backup would be fine as long as unchanged files are not transferred. Automatic or manually (or scheduled) tasks are fine too.
Small, well kept engines like this are the answer. You can of course write your own or build tooling on a bigger engine like unity, but if you just want a quick solution something like Love or Phaser is the way to go.
> You're wrong that long covid evidence is anecdotal.

Fine, convince me. Provide a citation from a study where:

1) the results are NOT gathered by survey from a self-selected population

2) the study is pre-registered, with endpoints determined in advance

3) the study is prospective, longitudinal and randomized

4) there is a control group

5) the participants are verified to actually have Covid

6) a significant effect is shown on the pre-registered endpoints

and I'll take your claims seriously. The only current study that I'm currently aware of that remotely comes close to this standard of evidence (but doesn't meet all of them) is this one: a controlled, retrospective study of 250,000 kids, which found that kids without covid had roughly equivalent long-term symptoms to kids who did have covid.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.05.21256649v...

I bring up this study only to underscore the point: essentially all current "long covid" data is self reported and uncontrolled, and when you start to be rigorous, the claims of severity rapidly diminish. Here's a relevant editorial in Nature:

"Studies of long COVID thus far—nearly all from high-income countries—have been difficult to interpret or compare, not only because of the lack of a consistent case definition but also because of systematic selection bias of cases, often without appropriate controls....Meanwhile, community-based studies have raised questions about the representativeness of cases compared with the general population, especially those using online recruitment, with many studies relying on self-reported symptoms and without laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Selection bias becomes even more pronounced when people are recruited through online support groups, where very high rates of often nonspecific long-term symptoms have been reported, even in children."

"doctors are surprised that COVID may do the same?"

Doctors aren't. Epidemiologists aren't. We've been discussing and trying to study the long term effects of COVID-19 infections (and there were similar studies for SARS) pretty early on - the results are just long in coming, both due to the nature of the problem itself, and the pandemic.
No one knows with certainty indeed. But we do know with high probability that the outcome would have been roughly similar given the massive unbalance of important metrics.
