The big issue is that, back when, printed documents were much simpler. Printers offer a set of embedded fonts that makes it very quick and easy to print simple text documents, if you are okay with one of the printer's embedded fonts. You just need to send a couple commands to set up the font parameters and then the text. PCL and moreso Postscript also give you some vector drawing capability that makes printing line art in vector format very efficient.

But the nature of printing has changed! People now want to print things in all kinds of arbitrary fonts, which requires either rasterizing to print resolution (which is a lot, 300-600dpi) or sending the printer all the outlines as vector instructions. Postscript and PCL take different approaches to this and sometimes different print stacks do as well. And then add graphics, and 99% of documents you encounter these days provide all graphics in raster format in the first place. The result is that something, either the host or the printer, needs to take a raster graphic (which can even just be little icons) and interpolate them to whatever dot pitch the printer is using. That tends to be the real killer... that interpolation can take a printer a very long time. Usually there's some way in the PCL (exposed via the printer driver) that you can tell the printer to interpolate to a lower DPI which will speed things up, but make your images look worse.

Unfortunately sending 600dpi graphics over the network can still be kind of slow and does contribute to the "Receiving Data..." and time to first page even with modern printers and drivers. Most laser printers have a pretty poor TTFP anyway, though, so it's not too big of a deal.

There is a severe misunderstanding of what Homomorphic Encryption is, but how they explain facebook is trying to use it is not how it works.
Unless your opposition to capitalism is based on idealistic notions of morality, you have to accept that it is the predominant mode of production that society involuntarily finds itself in. Marx was financed by Engels, a factory owner and capitalist, and if he had refused to do so on principle, he would have probably never gotten around to write any of his theory (regardless of what one things of it).

Money disassociates social relations under capitalism. You fear wanting to pay people to work for you, but they too just work for the money. There is nothing ethical or unethical about that, it is just how the structure of capitalism influences the production and reproduction of society.

You might want to study theory or history, engage in labour actions, teach, help the needy, etc. but the system doesn't privilege anyone unconditionally. To have the opportunities to do what you find important, you need the resources: education, money and also time.

So it is up to you, to live by the standards of an ideal society or to exploit the current circumstances as best you can.

Sure, I don't expect you to empathize with me as a developer. The point is, if you let this go unchecked for developers, it will spread to as many areas as they can get away with, in the name of what is "good for users". The EU's anti-trust probe is already looking into this. Have a good day

Well said.

I had a misfortune to work on a project where this exact thinking was used to carve up relatively simple system into about a dozen microservices. Turns out referential integrity and transactions are really, really useful. For example, most task required calls to multiple microservices and if something broke in one of the microservices involved it would often leave other microservices in inconsistent state and retrying failed task became almost impossible. Project was scrapped after 3 years of development.

Microsoft Acquires Kinvolk (Company Behind Flatcar Linux)
Sounds like you're where I'll be in a few years. I figured the "treadmill of spending" would be the hardest part. At the end of every year I look at my expenses and say to myself, "Well, I wouldn't have gone out to eat twice a week and taken four vacations and bought that new mountain bike if I was retired." Every year there's about $10-20k of spending that I naively try to convince myself "I wouldn't do if I was retired" but hearing you say it makes me realize I'm full of BS.

Thanks for the reassurance. :)

I've been writing software for 40 years, for fun and profit, I'm about 100% sure I'll never stop, so like you I'd like to monetize it as long as possible.

Zuckerberg said that they combat spam on WhatsApp not by reading your messages because since they are end to end encrypted they are obviously unable to do it but by analyzing your metadata and your behavior on the service. So I assume the same strategy can be used for ads.

Encryption is not a problem; if I'm not mistaken various security agencies in USA also bet on metadata when strong encryption is in question.

It's a shame that most modern tech jobs are largely just painful drudgery for pay.

First off, the author continued:

> Life could be a struggle for survival with hard work and adversity at every corner. Marriages were arranged by parents and if, after 20 years, the couple hated each other, there was no option to divorce.

While I guess that particular life experience is not necessarily incompatible with happiness (“I love my life as a sustenance farmer!”) it was definitely, by modern standards, very hard, and not at all what most people strive for in their retirement.

Imagine a community of elderly people who are physically incapable of cutting their lawn on a weekly basis.

A neighbor sees their predicament and thinks if he could only buy a lawn tractor he could help them out. But he doesn’t have the money.

So he borrows the money at 5% interest, buys the tractor and offers to cut their lawns at a low rate. He uses the money he makes from his customers to pay the payments on the tractor and even reinvests some of that to buy a truck with a plow so he can plow their driveways when it snows.

He’s happy, his customers are happy, the bank that loaned him the money is happy. It seems like putting “money to work” in this way seems like a good thing to me but maybe I’m missing something.
Planning for a Zero Trust Architecture: Draft White Paper Available for Comment
Nope. Proper healthcare costs are truly an afterthought in most if not all parts of Europe, same as public transport tickets or cafeteria budgeting. Of course this doesn't cover non-medical stuff but under normal situation one doesn't need much of that apart from good suncream (which is required anytime anyway).

I firmly believe that the problems of cashflow during retirement, outside medical costs discussed here which are very US-specific, are much more about lifestyle choices. If one desperately needs that luxury they bathed in in last 30 years and it became the base standard life, then there is tough time ahead with possibly sad outlook. We all know more humble life leads to more happy life long term at this point, so to each their own.

Why I believe this - the most awesome memories from my life is doing stuff that costs very little - long backpacking trips around the world where plane tickets there & back are maybe 50% of the cost of 1-month long adventure. Doing many awesome sports one can do in the mountains (hiking, climbing, via ferratas, ski touring, paragliding, etc.). All these need initial gear investment and then just gas costs + rare equipment replacement costs.

These activities also highly increase chances that one reaches retirement actually in good shape, and can relatively kick ass till 75-80. I expect to be highly active during 60-70 retirement, based on genetics in my family. And a bit of luck obviously, one needs that for everything.

While doing these activities, I've met tons of people who are properly age-retired. During work week (maybe outside of July&August tourist seasons), you will find that most hikers in the Alps are retirees for example.

There is currently no system in operation that can deorbit large amounts of space debris.

If there's some debris in space, who pays to clean it up? Is it a company that wants to use an orbit that might be affected? Or is debris attributable and the 'owner' pays to clean up their own mess? Or is there a fund that a consortium of governments and businesses that use space should (will?) pay into?

I can imagine that the tech to do clean up is eminently achievable, and getting something to orbit to actually do the job is likely to be cheap enough soon, but I can't quite imagine why anyone would actually be a customer of a space cleaning company.

There's nothing particularly wrong with this mindset, but let's be explicit about your options:

1. Spend any extra money you make, knowing that you'll work 20 hours / week at least until social security arrives. If you start to hate work or having trouble finding work, you likely have very little to fall back on. Social security might not support your lifestyle, so expect a very pared back retirement late in life.

2. Spend a lot less than you make, but still spend amply to cover qualify of life and the things you enjoy and value. Invest the extra and have a cushion that covers unexpected job loss, periods of burnout, and the option to go long periods without any work at all if you have other interest you want to pursue. Be prepared for retirement now or when you're much older, but always having everything you need to cover the lifestyle you've designed.

3. Be miserable now, spending way less than you make, hating your job and hoping once you have a huge nest egg, you can make yourself happy!

Some people think early retirement is #3 but it's really #2. And many people do #1 until they start to realize they don't love being tied to a job at 40 as much as they enjoyed it at 20. (And that spending lots of money doesn't always make up for the obligation to work as well as they hoped.)
There is no fundamental reason for urban sprawl to stop. Western living standards and wealth are increasing, and the actual material costs of laying a sewer pipe or road become negligible.

With the advent of electric self driving cars, transportation becomes cheap and hassle free. A network of highways converging to an urban center served by Boring co Loop tunnels can gather trafic from a 30 mile area. As long as travel times are less than say, around 45 minutes, those people will be living "in the city".

A 30 mile radius means about 7 million plots of 10000 sq feet, so you could accommodate more than 20 million inhabitants in this suburbopolis of single detached family homes.

The factors preventing it are land prices, regulatory pressure and homebuyer tastes.
Strange. What about GitLab and Gitea? And probably others.
> Retirement forces you to stop thinking that it is your job that holds you back. For most people the depressing truth is that they aren't that organized, disciplined, or motivated.

This resonates. I took a 1-year sabbatical after 12 years in the tech industry. I kept a big text file with all the things I wanted to do once I had the time. When I finally did, I realized I only wanted to do one thing from that list (of 30+ items). The rest sounded good on paper, but I never had the motivation to do them. This was a harsh realization, but now when I think "I wish I had time to...", I know it's an illusion. We tend to make time for what we really want. Overall, it was useful to realize.

And this makes it risky for airlines to allow because how can the operator determine that every different electronic device will not cause interference?

I've flown small planes where my phone absolutely did cause a burst of noticeable radio interference every few seconds with LTE enabled, but those avionics likely have much less shielding than the commercial planes. Simple fix is to just turn on airplane mode or disable LTE.
Google's "Colaboratory" is a similar use of Jupyter Notebook, but I think it's worth pointing out that Colaboratory has some added GCP-launching integrations and Sagemaker has some ML training integrations with AWS.

Retired at 55 from software development. I think it helps when your career (slash passion blah blah) is something that you don't need other people to do.

I've been really interested in Phoenix since seeing some of those 1 million simultaneous connections demos, but I also know that it's possible to build unrealistic demos that produce great statistics.

So, I'm really curious if there are any people here who are able to get such significant performance benefits from the framework for "real" scenarios - high distributed traffic with occasional writes and lots of cached database reads, game lobbies, etc. - stuff that simply wouldn't be possible with another framework like Spring or Flask. Is the hype worth it?

My understanding is that homomorphic encryption allows one to transform encrypted data, but the data is still encrypted (random noise). i.e:

decrypt(encrypt(x+1)) == decrypt(encrypt(x) +1)

This does not allow you to get any information about X, only perform computations with it. If advertisers are getting information out of encrypted data, that means the encryption is broken.
The Root of the Scammer Problem: Onvoy-Inteliquent
Yeah, this is the part that makes the developer not just petty, but actually quite disingenuous and actively hostile to their own users.

It's one thing to argue against the policy and there's nothing wrong with that. But it's unacceptable and close to outright lying to imply that the policy decision makes the user's account only usable with Apple devices.

The really puzzling thing about all of this is that the developer's primary issue - he believes Apple is being hostile to developers - is exactly what he's doing to his end users.

Apple took away his choice, so he's taking away his users' choice to use the feature as they desire.
