Still reading the docs, but everything I've read so far, it looks like some mighty interesting code for sure. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who's seen all the many APIs and integration endpoints and thought that something similar to this needs to exist.
Very interesting! Thanks!

Half broken setup is a people problem. Prometheus and grafana is integrations is actually pretty solid and quite simple if you follow the docs [1].

If you are out there to replace existing monitoring stack like ELK, Prometheus-grafana, victoria metrics, i think it will be an uphill battle proving your value because there is high switching cost.

Also, In most of the organisations, core resources that people care about are well monitored. Just my 2 cents.

NSO Group's long history of trials and denials
If that’s what they’ve been doing with YouTube recommendations then it’s definitely nowhere close to identifying interests or motivations. Whatever they started changing in 2016 has been making the recommendations less and less personally relevant and increasingly generic and boring. Probably helping a whole lot of people spend less time on YouTube though.
Considering that international students are overwhelmingly nonwhite, I don't think those numbers really hold up.

Shame there's no AMD option.
The author doesn't spend much time arguing why the tests should be kept. This is one defense and it feels pretty weak to me:

> standardized test scores say more about which applicants are likely to earn a degree and to do it in less than eight years; they also correlate strongly with students’ GPA at the university

You must be mistaken. That's legitimately his goal.

People missing that also usually miss the following:

* What the legion critics of Zuck and Facebook miss is that the company legitimately has the goal of connecting people

I'm not following how that's a stronger rebuttal than the one in the article:

> But white students are also underrepresented, if only ever so slightly, at the UC: They make up 21 percent of the undergraduate population and 22 percent of K–12 schoolchildren.

If we're talking about college admissions, I think the percentage of white K-12 students is more important than the percentage of white people of any age. Obviously, some people start attending college later in life, but that number isn't high enough to make the demographics of the general population more important than the demographics of K-12 students.

It's hard to believe you're arguing in good faith - you allow that a resume is written only to get work and so consider it, but if they write a blog only to help them get work you dismiss it with the reason "they only did it to help them get work"? How is that consistent?

The git log command has a --perl-regexp flag [0], which allows you to filter commits that match a Perl-style regular expression. I guess in that situation you could specify a regular expression that excludes dependabot in --author.

If typing --perl-regexp gets old, you can always alias it or add a repo/global config option via grep.patternType [1]. Or you can create an alias for adding the less-powerful --invert-grep [2].

This article seems to be really tough to grasp because that's the opposite of what it says and several people seem to have taken that meaning.

The premise of the author is that today's grownups are terrible (adolescent behavior and attitudes) because of the changes brought about by high school becoming a thing. He's complaining about my generation, not saying it's better.

The "better" (behaved) people are over 75 or dead.
Syncthing is a lot narrower in scope than owncloud. It just syncs. If you're using owncloud just as a dropbox replacement, the one thing you're likely to run into is syncthing does nothing to facilitate sharing with untrusted devices, like giving a share link to your friend or something.

I view network egress as the primary lock-in mechanism for all of AWS.

If you want to migrate to another provider, network egress costs mean that you'll spend multiples of your normal monthly operating costs to do so. That stifles competition.

But well before that point, most services in AWS have already been built around avoiding network egress wherever possible. You're always going to prefer AWS APIs and services, even if they aren't the best for your use case, because services outside AWS have a network egress tariff placed on them. So you aren't always buying best-of-breed, you're buying the best of what AWS chooses to offer (or the selection of vendors that choose to build in AWS to remain competitive).

And if that isn't good enough, your only other option is to migrate out (and pay those egress costs!).

Plenty of people have the same values today. here is the 2016/2020 Republican platform [PDF] https://prod-static-ngop-pbl.s3.amazonaws.com/media/document... It includes an endorsement to "bar government discrimination against individuals and businesses for acting on the belief that marriage is the union of one man and one woman". So you can't argue that we should forget his bigotry just because it's old and not relevant anymore.
Having spent a lot of time doing MS admissions at a top-tier CS program, I never really cared that much about specific scores unless they were absolutely terrible. Tests don’t tell you much about an applicant, essays are more helpful to know if somebody can be successful. We did away with tests and I didn’t miss them.
Their audio versions are very well done. The reading is clear and non monotonous. You can play back faster obviously.

I think people have a bad relationship with social media because they use it to consume instead of produce. I changed my mindset from 'social media is a place where I learn about/keep in touch with my friends' to 'social media is a place where I share my art, jokes, life events, etc with my friends'. I spend less time on it because I go in with the mindset of 'What can I create right now?' instead of just mindless scrolling. Or when I am mindlessly scrolling I have more of a perspective, what do people find interesting right now?
Given that one go to the university to earn a degree (for the most part), I think this defense is pretty on point.

The answer to that question is the volume of the building minus some factor (let's say 40%) for other stuff like walls and floors, etc. times the number of tennis balls you can fit in a given space, like a cubic meter. Basically...

x * y * z * 0.6 * n

If you could quickly express it like that, despite not actually coming up with a number, you would probably pass. To me, being able to estimate the scope of things before launching into writing code is a valuable skill, but there's something about the quirkiness(?) of how the question is presented that's off-putting to some people. But on the other hand, maybe that's by design, and those people are the ones being selected out?
Of course. You wouldn’t want an unlucky candidate.
My point was that sometimes these decisions are made for other reasons than safety or practicality. Just as Windows OS keeps it window control on the top-right corner while macOS chooses to keep it on the top-left corner. Driving left or right seems to be more of a political decision (when Americans fought the British) just as the UI choices on Windows and macOS sometimes seem to be just to differentiate their product and make it difficult for the users to easily migrate to the other platform.

I don't see how taking more advanced classes and scoring well is "gaming" your GPA. You are legitimately taking harder / more in depth classes and performing well. The fact that your GPA is higher as a result seems legitimate.

You can argue about availability of AP classes / funding / etc, but that doesn't detract from the hard work of the AP students. Plenty of rich white kids take hard AP classes and get D's.

They mean simpler formula per cell, by splitting the formula across multiple cells (as I mentioned in my sibling comment).
Right, but this makes the area of the cover twice the area of the hole, and the cover twice as heavy as it would need to be if it were round. As Feynman pointed out, even round covers are already pretty heavy—I injured my wrist (ligaments?) from the tension of lifting one in my teens.

However, if this were the only consideration, you could get a wider-diameter manhole with a smaller cover by making it in the form of an equilateral triangle, as evidently Nashua, NH, does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhole_cover#Other. Indeed, you don't need to stop there; if you curve the sides of the triangle in toward the center, you can get a manhole with an even smaller surface area for a given diameter, although at some point the extra "diameter" will be too curved to be useful.

I was responding to:

"In general, Americans hate taxes because they hate the idea that "their" money might go to someone undeserving".

I'm saying it is indeed our money. Not the government's; we choose to part with some, but the taxed money was never the government's. It was always ours.

It's like giving a kid an allowance, and then one day you say you don't have enough to give them that week/month, whatever, and they say, but it's "my" money. No it's not.
Indeed, though to do it this way would be very wasteful of resources as the ratio of the manhole size to the size of the cover wouldn't be maximized. The cover would be needlessly covering a lip whose large size only exists because of the poor choice of shape.
How hard would it be for someone with no technical background to create something like this? What would a list of tools needed look like?
It also filters out people who get anxious in interview situations, since anxiety tends to put people in fight or flight mode and shut down the critical thinking parts of the brain.

What an entitled belittling perspective. You keep talking about a solution. You are talking about ending democracy. You are talking about telling people they cannot speak.

There is no solution. Trying to imagine this is a problem of big platforms, of social media, is a complete fantasy. It's a scape-goat against an easy, modern, popular target to rage against. It's low and it's cowardly & frankly it's besides the point.

America has always had a conspiracy theorist problem, a huge one. It's metastatized somewhat. But it's not big platform alone that's causing this. Ideas are more viral with a better connected society. Blaming the easy obvious targets is lazy & boring & I'm exhausted by such callous hateful anti-speach views, so repetetively demanding "solutions", so angrily telling us we cannot allow speech online.
I heard this as a kid too.

Thinking back, maybe I was just annoying my mom by playing with the light switch.

There's a GitHub provider for Terraform [1]. I tried it out on a GitHub Enterprise instance last year and found it a little awkward because they didn't have support for the latest GH APIs and the version before was missing a bunch of features. When I looked recently, they seemed to have got past that.

The principle is broadly the same as other Terraform workflows: import existing config and update it when you need to. You can manage repo permissions, people and teams, all centrally and in code. Super useful for tracking changes (the GH audit logs are a bit lacking in my experience) and identifying discrepancies between the expected and actual configurations.

The main issue I have with Hack is that it is a big PITA to install. Like, there's no HHVM in ArchLinux repositories (or in no other distro's repositories either), and building it is super messy. That's also why I think almost nobody is using Swift on Linux.

Nobody is going to bother with your language when it's full out there of solutions as good as yours that people can install in one second.

It would be awesome if you could provide a more real life test like the reviewers you gave the laptop to will do. Having matching claims on your site vs what the reviewers say can only help your credibility, which is much needed as a new product.

I know you guys are super busy launching this and there are a million things to look at, just sharing my opinion as a consumer.

The other thing that would be useful to know is a clear return and warranty policy. The items I buy from Amazon without much worry are the ones I know I can return easily, for a product as new and unknown like yours, I’ll probably stand back if I don’t know what the return process works like.

Just compare the spot/preemptible instance price or committed-use price to the on-demand price to see how it can be cheaper.

All system can be gamed. I guess UT isn't that prestigious to create strong enough incentives. Imagine if Harvard said you'd get admission if you're top 1% of the class. Imagine how many parent would just stick their kid into the worst school for 1-2 years to get that.

I did follow the "intended" vs. "right" subtext right until the punchline.

I also at no point got the impression that this fictional Feynman was very convincing, charming or anything like that. Just a bit of a talky wise-ass, really. Obviously he knows his stuff, but he's not direct enough to just say that outright, he tries to lord his intellect over the interviewer.

So I really wasn't sure what the punchline ("let's hire you in marketing") was all about. Is the interviewer saying this guy is a bad engineer since he doesn't get to the point? That he's a good marketer because he can talk lots and lots of bullshit?

Is the implication that being offered a position in marketing would be better than in engineering? It's definitely not what the candidate came in for, and the interviewer also doesn't mention if they would hire him for engineering, just for marketing.
Satellites in geosync are very VERY far away; much farther than Starlink's LEOs. So the risk of crashing into the atmosphere is much reduced; the risk of altering the appearance of the night sky is similarly reduced by the distance.

This is too much of a pivot to actually take place. Metaverse products have existed for a long time (Second Life) and are already popular (Fortnite) while FB's customer base is considerably older and interested in different things than running around w/ an avatar or building buildings. If the FB crowd wanted that stuff, they would be on another metaverse platform already.

Does Zuck think his brand has so much traction that he can pull all those (existing) FB people into something that they didn't ask for and haven't sought out? Je doute.
> No, because its unecessary (in my experience)

Assuming that is true, this sounds like a normalcy bias to me (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias).

> Why would you not want a new feature (e.g. the new "clone plugin")

Because features can introduce bugs or performance regressions. Sure you can say that's rare, but I still might not want to take that risk with some of the most critical infrastructure in my app.
Maybe they're looking to start on a clean slate with their RISC-V investments then, they're late to the ARM game and will never catch up to apple or probably even qualcomm, their x86 designs are slowly and surely dropping off, and they'd have to make massive strides to change that.
Because nobody wants to live there. Americans by and large come in two types: the urbanists who want to live in a big city, and everyone else who wants a cottage in the woods that's file miles from a McDonald's. Sanphillippo wants a return to this 1940s idea of dense small towns, walkable towns with a population of ten thousand. He doesn't get that those towns weren't that way because everyone liked it; they were like that because they had to be. People were too poor to have a personal vehicle. Everybody either farmed and only came into town when they had to, or worked in the same factory, or worked in a store where the factory workers spent their money. Then when the industry changed the factory closed and the town died almost overnight.
I wonder, if one dig through her private journals or songs, could a person find an view or opinion that in modern standards would not be acceptable to have? If so, should we then erase her name from the telescope and try again with a new candidate?
If it's all so easy peasy and every satellite has zillions of square kilometers at disposal, why do we have collisions and required maneuvering already? And "dead satellites are also going to be a aerobraked pretty quickly" - at 550km this means months. That's definitely not quickly enough.

I think a lot of the meme form of 'conservative' and 'liberal' concepts OFTEN don't fit if you define it by politics or a state policy... especially any policy as time goes on.

A state government might have a very liberal or conservative party in power ... and a given policy might be considered the opposite, but they're not going to revisit it all the time.

The reasons for the policy too might have nothing to do with 'conservative' and 'liberal'.

Personally, I'm not really sure I buy into the idea that any given University has to have a given admissions policy and be 'liberal' or 'conservative'. There's room for a mix of policies across universities IMO / should be a mix.

Fankly I think you could tell most people any random policy is 'conservative' or 'liberal' and they'd just support or oppose it based on that label.

Definitions are all dorked up... and 'conservative' and 'liberal' is too weird and narrow a lens to view everything through.

Just as an example George W. Bush ran a campaign that very vocally opposed "nation building", it was thought to be a very important conservative value. George W. Bush then started the largest / longest nation building projects in Iraq and Afghanistan in decades ...

These terms often don't make any sense when applied.
