There's no glamour in back ups.

Even less glamour in great back up.

Even less in testing back-ups.

In my experience as a small-time landlord, maintenance does scale somewhat with cost, but not linearly. A lot of big costs on the materials side (like say, a furnace) are more or less fixed. At least, repairs don't cost 4x as much in a 800k house as they do in a 200k house of the same size.

I am again speaking purely about the elitism and arrogance of the phrasing from the original post. In my experience, the absolute best people in a given field aren't even close to what I would call a "hardcore nerd", and those same people would also certainly not condescend to those with different skillsets via referring to them as "muggles".

Pay people that have a skillset to do a job. But note that, for most orgs, the job _isn't_ "Do a job and be a dick about it", which is what we've been talking about. Being successful in a role means working with others for a common goal. That's literally what companies are (or, I should say, were meant to be).
> I don't see much risk from people attacking you to take the nukes. I feel like that doesn't happen very often.

Did she have full access or is Assange accused of trying to help her get it?

My original post here was partially about how Assange's supporters don't do their cause any good by exaggerating facts and distorting reality. My opinion of Assange's actions seems a lot more nuanced than many here - no doubt I am wrong on some points. But I refuse to feel bad just because you're trying to strawman me.

Sorry, all those people had to get jobs at AWS, Digital Ocean, Heroku, etc. years ago if they didn't want to be Puppet jockeys for the next mumble years.

This reads a bit like "if you exclude all the people that can't afford a home, then the data suggests everyone can afford a home."

Of course lower down payments increase access to real estate. The problem is half of all Americans can't even afford closing costs, let alone a down payment.
I thought it would have other comments like yours. Yes, this and climate change research. Just look at the history of those research fields.
The tax forms in my country are filled with this second-guessing. For example if it asks how much income you earned from interest, you're supposed to exclude income that you've already paid tax on and exclude some kinds of investment that are asked about separately in another question but they don't explain this so you have to keep tweaking the numbers until the automatic calculation looks right. There's also a question about having "returned to the country" which really confused me when I was travelling back and forth. I had to talk to the helpdesk to discover that "returned" isn't the same as "arrived after having previously left". I might have got some of the wording wrong but that's the gist.
"He took data from the World Health Organization's report from March and plotted the data on a map of where people with confirmed cases lived in Wuhan."

So he took data from the lying, covering up, anti-covid-data CCP at face value and then used said data to largely exonerate the CCP?

This is why scientists should stay out of this area. They aren't game theorists. They are suckers because of their believe in the scientific method and inability to just stay out of analyzing known bad data. NOT understanding politics is a liability to scientists.
Charles Sanders Peirce attempted to address this problem with his semiotic[1]. Sadly he never reached a conclusive result, but I find his work in this area to be extremely enlightening and also quite novel even today.

> I suppose this isn't really a "backup" but rather a "mirroring strategy."

Correct.

> But for certain kinds of data -- photos, video, large media -- can you really afford to do any other kind of strategy?

Yes. Make the backup system for that big slow-changing data a moderate amount bigger than the primary data store, and then you can have months of retention at low cost.

If too much data changes at once then it should go read-only and send out a barrage of alerts.
Those might not be optimal choices—or they might be—but they are very unlikely to make the difference between project success and failure. Anything you can do with Vue you can do with React, and vice versa, with a modicum more or less effort, and similarly for Vim and Emacs.

On the contrary, if you choose MooTools or YUI over React and Vue, or Notepad or Microsoft Word over Vim and Emacs, that might cause project failure.

(I prefer Emacs over Vim for programming, but it's probably easier to get started with Vim nowadays as a new user. SO has 17208 #emacs questions and 26937 #vim questions.)

This has proven, over and over, to make things worse. Important levers get removed because Joe Sixpack can't look at more than a label and a few buttons without freaking out. I'm sick of watching wonderful technology decay to uselessness or annoyance because some rent-seeking wanterpreneur thought he could build a business off expanding the audience for everything

> What I found off putting about the way you presented the story was the bit at the end where you gloated about your current employment status and achievements as if they missed out on some great mind.

Yeah, that's fair. I'm not one to gloat usually but I never felt like I got closure from what was a pretty unpleasant interview experience so I couldn't resist the urge to get a dig in.

> This is the type of conversation I tend to enjoy during interview problem solving because IMO it most accurately reflects the type of conversation you'd actually have with teammates when building a system.

My Google interviews were so much better in this respect. The interviewers were really candid and fluid. They did a great job of letting me bring up points that I thought were relevant but not get too ratholed. Overall just a miles better experience.

> sometimes personalities just don't gel.

One way to look at it was that the interview was a success because it established that I likely wouldn't be happy working with those devs and that kind of culture.
They are extremely well secured. They don't travel alone; you may not notice that. They are surprisingly armored like a bank vault. And a report of attack can be responded to by any LEOs, and the military. Getting away with a weapon is as close to impossible as it gets.

We had one come in one afternoon, a bit late. We stay on standby to receive. They can't get the doors to open correctly. This is no small matter; they have to open just so. After us faffing off for a couple hours watching, they decided to drive down to Rocky Flats, and come back tomorrow. They aren't allowed to spend the night just anywhere; it has to be a secure installation.

Next day, they come back. The techs at Rocky Flats figured out their doors.

I did IF (16 hours, nothing huge) fairly consistently for about a year and now I do it inconsistently. My biggest problems were hunger keeping me up if I eat too early or being tired and fatigued in the morning if I ate later.

It doesn’t help that I feel extremely angry and depressed while hungry which leads me to far too many self destructive behaviors (threatening people with suicide on the street, etc). Now I just try to eat when I’m hungry but I’ve gained back most of the weight I lost so…
> Fourth depends on the fill level of the vessels.

I don't think it does.
Tableau follows this drag-and-drop pattern, but in a much more explicit way than Kibana, with the ability to drop columns onto slots with (more-or-less) predictable effects. It's immensely polished - and priced accordingly.

https://help.tableau.com/current/guides/get-started-tutorial...

I'm actually not sure there's a better UI pattern for the nontechnical user. If you want to visualize both the slots and the options at once to give people a sense of what they can do with their current schema... you don't just want a dropdown for each slot that's going to forget your state, move all over the place, etc.
That is an amazing idea. Then run SAP on top of that and turn it into an art installation.

This is exactly how I feel after being prescribed a drug as an adolescent that in fact made my condition worse. It was a very commonly prescribed anti-depressant that was eventually found to increase the risk of suicide in those under 18 years old. I was on the drug during the first decade after its release. It is no longer prescribed to minors.
Note: this is probably a good thing!

I have the opposite problem. I dunno if I stretched my stomach or something, but I can put down thousands of calories in a meal if I want.

I never fully committed to intermittent fasting, but calorie tracking is how I lose weight because I can trust it more than my appetite. I try to set myself up during the day for a big meal later, so that I can actually feel full once in awhile.
Sorry but your analogy makes no sense because Kiwis are better.
I really like this perspective. One of the more, well, common, criticisms of Common Lisp is that the standard is stagnant. Reframing it as stable is great rhetoric and also sound dialectic. I've only been using CL for about half as long as you have, but I still appreciate that stability greatly. Also, it's not as if CL deprives neophiles of opportunity[1].

Why would you call it "illegal"? I'm not trolling, I'm curious.
Man, honestly, not too sure about this, picking the "second best" is very random and can probably affect your choices of stack/methods in the long run.
Take for example the DAW part, i chose FL studio to start with for the same reason as the "best" one being pretty complicated.
Unfortunately when I did switch to Ableton and saw what the industry standard was, my whole year long progress pretty much went to s*t because of how overly simplified FL is,

Maybe we could design a protocol for securing the socket layer, maybe even automate the key exchange so that it's basically transparent to the user, and then why not do the same thing for the people that need certs, let them ask for it whenever they want and provide them a nice tool to automatically renew it. /s
It's been proven, over and over, that making things easier and cheaper harms adoption? I'd love a source on that.
The price can always be raised at the conclusion of a leasing period so there isn't really any unusual trickery involved. If anything the disclosure that the free months apply only to the first leasing period is less deceptive than raising the rent without any warning upon lease renewal.

Appreciate the summary.
Even without other physical complications (such as, you know, enlarged prostate just from getting older), if you wake up at night anyway (light sleeper, a partner who shifts, whatever), cutting off fluids can help a lot. As if you wake up at any point in the night, the urge to go hits the same as when you wake up at your normal time. And that's the difference between getting up and going, or just rolling over.
> The only difference is that I have the wrong background, so no one's going to try to gratuitously describe my reaction as something "postcolonial."

"I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."

The only tool the author of that blog seems to have is their personal ideological beliefs regarding colonialism, thus the author proceeds to treat everything as if it was colonialism.
If I'm at a bar and want to settle something lighthearted between friends, Wikipedia is the source of choice. If it's worth delving deeper, we'll go deeper, but for a quick answer I trust Wikipedia more than saying "Hey Google, which network was the first iPhone exclusive to?"

Perhaps irrefutable is too strong a word, but if I'm looking for an answer (instead of researching a topic) and want a quick, single source, Wikipedia is my go-to.
> All cancers fall into just two categories, according to new research from scientists at Sinai Health, ... based on the presence or absence of a protein called the Yes-associated protein, or YAP.

I'm sure for those in the know there's a lot to glean from this but in my ignorance it just sounds really funny. Like saying all people fall into two categories: those named Bob and those who aren't!

> "Not only is YAP either off or on, but it has opposite pro- or anti-cancer effects in either context,” Bremner said. “Thus, YAPon cancers need YAP to grow and survive. In contrast, YAPoff cancers stop growing when we switch on YAP."

Huh, is it that they've narrowed down that YAP plays an important role in cancer growth or that all form of cancers rely on YAP. What was known before and what wasn't?
Why is this being downvoted? It's demonstrably true.

Huh?? That's just entry-level base pay specifically for the Albuquerque-Santa Fe-Las Vegas, NM locality with 3 additional levels of opportunity above that[1], and you'd be getting paid the entire time to train towards a CDL + small arms + tactics qualifications...not to say anything about additional unadvertised compensation and standard fare of benefits that accompany typical blue collar federal jobs.

But I'm not ignoring them.

I'm currently paying a $1600 / month mortgage, of which $1000 is principal, $400 is interest and $200 is escrow (tax / insurance) in an area with $2000/month rent.

So I'm really paying $600 / month for interest, tax, insurance. It's another $1400/month before I get to rent prices.

And even with a new roof and new deck last year, I'm no where close to renters prices in terms of actual cost. Especially considering that I had no maintenance costs in 2019 (lucky year)

And those $2000/month apartments are literally my next door neighbors. I get way more room than them, a private garage and lots of other benefits. (Those apartment dwellers occasionally ask me if they can park in my driveway when space runs out. That's how close they are.).

My understanding is that Google big-dicks companies that want to run android on their device and have Play Store.

I think it will be great if they can create some mechanism to compensate people for their data, I just suspect many people conflate the value of their data as training data and say how much they might charge a client to write some similar code.

Just to follow up on a deleted comment that thought I was complaining, I guess my point is that decent housing (both renting and owning) has become unaffordable for most people. High-income earners like myself will be okay, if okay means spending half of my salary on rent where I literally step over homeless people as part of an hourlong commute. My greater fear is what happens to the "essential workers", the heroes making $15/hr? What happens when the firefighters, EMTs, teachers, grocery store workers etc have been priced out of the state?
