This official method is so broken that it's embarrassing that they recommend it. It looks like a solution, but it doesn't work.

The "tiny bit of lag" between usage and billing calculation explodes when there's a lot of usage - in my case, a broken job tried resubmitting itself continuously, and the lag increased to 8 hours and $5000 just when I needed the alert the most. My team's response time was 5 minutes... After the 8 hour GCP lag.

Very similar to this guy's story: https://blog.tomilkieway.com/72k-1/

I had to go back and forth with them on email for weeks, and ultimately threaten them with a draft blog post with a lot of graphs and screenshots of their recommendations for them to cancel the bill.
I assume by capabilities they mean specifically a capabilities-based security model.

I haven't done a comparison in a long time, and, even then, it wasn't very thorough, so take this with a grain of salt.

But, 6 years ago, when I was in grad school, just swapping to the Intel build of numpy was an instant ~10x speedup in the machine learning pipeline I was working on at the time.

No idea if that's typical or specific to what I was doing at the time. I don't use MKL anymore because ops doesn't want to deal with it and the standard packages are already plenty good enough for what I'm doing nowadays. If you forced me to guess, I guess I'd have to guess that my experience was atypical.
Joshua has broken the ToS of Discuss because he has access to the tool and got an email address that belongs to Francesca. He used a privileged access to obtain her PII. Under the GDPR that is simply illegal. In Western Europe his behavior could take him to a court.

This is a site where we discuss about privacy in technology, and this is an example of how people with privileged access to PII should follow the higher standards, no matter how disgusting are the opinions, like the ones from Francesca.
What about the freedom to hire/fire whomever you want to?
The Earth is going to die one day. The Sun will die too. There is no guarantee that intelligent life will survive on this single planet, even if we do a perfect job of taking care of it. Catastrophic, species-killing events can happen at any time. If we wish to ensure the long-term survival of the only intelligent life in the universe that we know about (as well as the survival of all the other creatures on Earth, who don't have our knowledge) then adapting, exploring, and surviving in space is what we must do. It absolutely surprises me that relatively few people seem to understand (or voice) this fact. We may have a long time to accomplish it, but that it should be our primary goal is extremely clear.
The art of self-organizing engineering teams
Not necessarily. The wealthy put up $-worth of shares as collateral to borrow $$$$-worth of money from the bank at low interest rates.

The bank doesn't just sit on those shares, they use them to generate money for themselves. For example, say the Bank takes $250M in Amazon shares from Bezos and loans him $1B. If the bank projects that the price of Amazon is going down, they short that $250M in shares.

If Bezos did need to pay off one bank, he just borrows from another.
I think this post by Tom Sommer can be beneficial for new Engineering Managers who seek to build a team that works well together. Share it with managers and tech leads in your company, as they can use it to analyze areas worth investing in.
It's a reaction to the Word-like screen-filling toolboxes of the late 90's. And while the toolbox not taking your entire screen would be a real improvement, what we got was a smaller set of larger buttons with plenty of negative space to make them look nice, taking approximately the same area as before, but with added clicks and discoverability problems.

Eventually the problem did go away because of larger monitors in a higher resolution. But well, nobody would ever think about going back into those ugly interfaces!

Oh, and count me as another previous Namecheap customer that isn't anymore mostly because of their interface. "Mostly" because I had one domain that needed DNSSEC when they didn't support it, and that's what started my migration, but what made me move everything was the interface.

Which SPECIFIC policies do you want? Full blown communism? Single payer health care? Universal Basic Income?

Every ACTUAL policy has costs, trade offs and drawbacks. Put actual dollar amounts on the table, and a rational discussion can take place.

Just handwaving about a society where everyone someway somehow gets everything they need to happy, healthy, fulfilled, and self-actualized accomplishes nothing.
Right.

I'll often use touch just that way, in part because I can also apply standard features / functions in the process, particularly a datestamp:

touch <mnemonic-$(datestamp)>

Where datestamp is a bash function:

datestamp () { date +%Y%m%d; }

In several scripts / tools, the title (and other metadata) are automatically generated and added, with sanity checks for characters, casing (lowercase preferred), and tokenisation (usually '-' between words, '_' between elements, and '--' between repeated elements, e.g., multiple authors. The results can be longish, but descriptive, filenames. With a low collision probability.

Cloud computing specifically was said to pay 126% above average. Just wanted to

How do they expect me to make money? I hate to be snarky, as I do actually value journalism and think it represents an important part of a free society. However, why is it my responsibility to participate in their business model? Can we fund them with taxes (in a non-dystopian way that keeps political interference out of the equation)? After all, they don't spend time thinking about my business model.
We need to make humanity a multi-planetary species, Mars is just the beginning. The moonshot is just a tech validation, then we can send humans to the rest of the planets and the belt too.

Figuring out how to solve pollution on Earth is also doable with modern technology. We can terraform Earth to be more habitable as well, we could melt the antarctic icecap and colonize it. Maybe even make a new civilization there without as many problems [government/bureaucracy as we have in the rest of the world?
More specifically, it's an mmap()ed series of linked lists of BSON documents, with some relatively simple B-tree indexing, a little journaling, and an unfortunate tendency to drop data on the floor.
These guys are stooges of the elite for maintaining narrative control. They are part of the same media bloc as the Washington Post, which Bezos owns - that bloc being neoliberal establishment. To call them "unbelievably good recipients" is orwell speak.
It’s simply not free speech then. Call it something else, you’re using incorrect terms.

Edit because it seems the point is getting lost here:
Let me rephrase this: freedom of speech seems to be such that one is not able to have legal action taken against them by the government for their speech.

I am not debating that whatsoever.

Within the context of the United States, “free” rights are used in the same sense of being granted “Liberty”. You are liberated from being unable to criticize the king, as it were. What are you specifically free from? You are free from the punishments that a king can inflict on you for having used your full speech capabilities. Now, here is where I believe we differ: to me, it’s merely an abstraction to have another entity restrict the speech. As in, sure, I’m not using money to purchase items with Bitcoin, I’m just exchanging money for something that can be exchanged for goods. In that same light it seems that you’re arguing “no one is restricting speech they’re just making it not possible for them to say those things and keep living”

If that’s what it is, fine… let’s not call it “free speech”. I submit “free opportunities for punishment”.
Desalination is also energy intensive. Shipping food from foreign countries is energy intensive. Starving because those countries also experience the effects of global warming and decide to feed their populations first is economically and socially expensive.

Choose your costs. You're going to spend energy one way or another, or you're going to sacrifice your quality of life(or potentially your life).

I don't see this as being a convincing argument against a nationwide hydro grid, just one of many tradeoffs.
> I understand that K8 does many things but its also how you look at the problem. K8 does one thing well, manage complex distributed systems such as knowing when to scale up and down if you so choose and when to start up new pods when they fail.

Also, in the sense of "many small components that each do one thing well", k8s is even more Unix-like than Unix in that almost everything in k8s is just a controller for a specific resource type.

Freedom of speech means that you can express any opinion civilly in a public forum without being persecuted for such speech. It does not mean you won’t get fired for saying something racist, and importantly it means that there are restrictions on speech that are not opinions or expressed civilly, such as the famous “yelling fire in a crowded theater” example.
Here's my take: Don't use "import-star" in library code. Like you say, it obscures where elements of the namespace came from.

When using Python interactively, esp. if the interactive session is to be thrown away at the end, then import-star can be fine and can be a good time-saver. Video editing is a great example of when this is appropriate. See also manim. Other examples might be one-off html parsing or one-off data manipulation tasks.

Similar to "import-star" is multiple inheritance. Just like import-star, multiple inheritance can make it ambiguous where methods come from, and imo it should similarly be avoided by default unless there's a compelling reason to use it.
Kubernetes is complicated because it carries around Unix with it and then duplicates half the things and bolts some new ones on.

Erlang is[0] what you can get when you try to design a coherent solution to the problem from a usability and first-principles sort of idea.

> Is wealth being redistributed, or are the Bezos’ simply slurping up the new money that have been so abundant?

How do you differentiate these? If you have 100 dollars, distributed evenly among 10 people, and then you print 100 more and give them all to Jeffery, then you have redistributed the wealth even though you only printed new money. He went from 10% of the power to 55%.

Sure, but k8s isn't the only way to do any of those things, and it's certainly a heavyweight way of doing most of them.

It's not a question of k8s or bespoke. That's a false dichotomy.

I see way too many young/inexperienced tech teams using k8s to build things that could probably be hosted on a couple of AWS instances (if that). The parasitic costs are high.

Do you understand how your ride scheduling software works? I can be even more specific: I was travelling south on 280 near Daly City sometime in the fall of 2019. I got a pickup in what turned out to be a cemetary. I refused to go into the dark cemetery figuring it was a mistake. The ride was cancelled then a message came up suggesting I stay and wait there because there was high demand in that neighborhood. Look it up. You keep logs don't you?

Edit: It was a pickup at the Golden Gate National Cemetery around 10 PM. I have an alt email in my profile. Contact me if you need more information.
Or here's another example: if you were a doctor advocating for mask use in May 2020, when everyone knew that mask use was bullshit, you should be fired from your job. Also, if you were a doctor advocating against mask use in May 2021, when everyone knew that mask use wasn't bullshit, you should also in that case be fired from your job. I would write more examples, but I have a book burning to attend to, brb...
It's strange that this is a meme, because my experience is the opposite: as a motorist, bicycles are the most visible things around. As a cyclist, I see cars react to me every time I'm close enough to them that it's relevant. They're clearly aware of me.

My theory is that cyclists become invisible in areas where the roads force them to mix with cars. Where I live, they rarely mix, so when they do, it's an unusual event that promotes itself to your attention.

Either way, it backs up the idea that weirdness counts for a lot.

I assume this means the banks are giving > 40 years loans? Isn't inheritance tax fairly high? A quick search says 40% federal, with around 20% state.
Incorrect.
Per the Colorado River Authority agreement, Utah is allocated up to 24% of the rivers water. Utah is not even consuming it’s allocation. Due to the obviously increasing scarcity, Utah is pushing to increase its usage to meet its already agreed upon allowance. And that is because other states are greedily eyeing what is left in the banks and murmuring, “if Utah isn’t using their entire share, *we* should have it!”.
And like Utah local leaders are supposed to, they are fighting for their local constituency interests, because that’s what we elect them to do.
Offering higher pay at times of high capacity requirements, and lower pay at times when there is a surplus of drivers seems like a great solution to balance out when drivers should take shifts, while still letting people choose their own schedules and priorities.

Nothing about life is rational.

I believe I "contemplate" suicide frequently but I have no inclination to do it because what good would it do me? Suicide is self-murder no matter how we sugar coat it. If we reach a point as a society where murdering ones self is condoned why wouldn't that make murder of others less severe? If life is not sacred then it seems to me that murder becomes more like a property crime.

Sure thing, some have radical and outdated views. Sometimes it takes one or two generations until immigrants come around, so what.
The way forward is to include these people, make them feel welcome, institutionally and personally, if that doesn't happen, slums and ghettos arise.

Given ads are necessarily both targeted and predatory, and a not a few of them are planted as part of sophisticated political campaigns and operations, someone in your house probably just triggered a link on their trapline.

Ads for therapy are to stoke fears of people they may be mentally ill, and ads for dating sites are to make people feel isolated. They're just used as priming for selling you an additional something else to relieve the feelings the primers created.

If I wanted you to look at my ad, I'd present something you would look away from, and have my product ad right there waiting for where you will likely look to. Look at the difference between ads in the margin of pages, vs. those inline to the content.
> I don’t know what you are talking about. You are free to enter Europe and ask for asylum. This is a protected human right under international law, protected by the UN.

Are you talking about Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? This reads "Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution." Note the qualification, "asylum FROM PERSECUTION."

If you enter Europe, and you do not qualify as persecuted, how exactly does this right apply to you? And if this right does not apply, how exactly is it legal? What law gives you that right?

What limiting principle is there to this right you think exists? Can I travel to any country in the world and just say I'm seeking Asylum without any basis? Where do you get this notion?

I agree about the overall problem, but there are some empirical techniques we can use. Being able to extract and sequence DNA from preserved remains has been revolutionary. It's also amazing what we can do with pollen now. These don't solve the problem of reconstructing pre-historic culture, but they have helped us understand pieces of the picture better. They've been able to discredit some ideas that were widely held in the past.
> Bezos and especially Branson's ventures feel much more like personal vanity projects than something that will actually push space exploration.

I'm not sure why people feel this need to draw this weird line in the sand and say that SpaceX is okay because Musk built a business, but Blue Origin and Virgin are bad because... reasons?

Technology advances for all sorts of reasons. Lamborghinis exist because a farmer was pissed at Ferrari. Motorolla made the first cellphone to steal the thunder from AT&T. Hell, the first space race back in the 60s was basically done to flex on the USSR.

If this is all a massive dick measuring contest, I honestly couldn't care less. It's advancing space exploration and providing competition in the space. Even Bezos and Branson stopped right now, they've still proven that it's possible for a company other than SpaceX to put a man in orbit and dumped billions of dollars back into the economy.

When I hear people complain about this being a vanity project like that somehow taints the accomplishment, all I can think about is a particularly on the nose quote from the TV show Community. "Who cares if Troy thinks he's all that? Maybe he is. You think astronauts go to the moon because they hate oxygen? No, they're trying to impress their high school's prom king."
