Good question. In addition to a budget amount, Azure requires you to specify a threshold value – a percentage of the budget – and triggers an alert only when your consumption hits that value. CloudAlarm, on the other hand, only requires you to specify the budget and notify you if your current consumption is estimated to exceed it.
For instance, suppose you set a budget of $1000 and a threshold value as 50%. Now suppose that someone creates a resource accidentally with a wrong tier – say an expensive SQL database – that has a cost of $50 per day while the need and approval was for a $1 per day tier. You also have other resources costing $30 per day so total cost is now $80 per day.

With Azure budget actual-based alerts, you'll likely get notified on the 8th day by which time you have consumed 50% ($560) of your budget, of which $350 is the cost of that database alone instead of $7. With Azure budget forecast-based alerts, you'll still get notified after a few days again when you've consumed 50% of your budget as per the forecasted cost for the month. We're not privy to the exact algorithm that calculates forecast cost, but in either case the important point is that you need to have consumed a threshold or percentage of your budget amount before you get notified.

For the same scenario of $80 being spent per day, CloudAlarm will alert you on the 2nd day itself by which time you've spent only $50 (instead of $350 as in case of Azure budget alerts) on the wrong tier of SQL database.

CloudAlarm has to wait for a day because Azure doesn't provide a way to know the actual cost for a given resource, until that resource has been consumed for a day. However, with 'New Resource' alarms (not available in Azure) you can even bypass this limitation by setting up alarms to notify you if a resource is created in tiers you don't expect to use. resource alarms are run every few minutes so you'll not even consume few dollars for the same database scenario and you'll get notified of the mistake. You can immediately amend the tier and literally save yourself almost the entire cost – and a charge of $2 or so for an hour would be the cost incurred instead of hundreds of dollars if you had relied on Azure budget alerts.

True, and this is an age old argument.

Here is the relevant XKCD, just with a narrow scope: https://xkcd.com/386/
At this point: Yes, but only because I cannot imagine the alternatives being anything but worse.

That's not to say that I don't think it would be interesting, and maybe it will be better in the long run. Personally I believe it will result in massive amounts of fraud.

Multiple app stores are also going to be terrible, either for the developers or for the customers. Either you'll need five different app stores installed, because Facebook, EPIC, Google, Microsoft and others will be wanting their own store. Or developers need to push their apps to every bloody app store on the planet so they can reach all potential customers. So now you need to pay multiple developer fees to be in the different stores.

Yes, 30% is a ripoff. Not allowing to charge for upgrades is developer hostile. The App Store is a mess of low budget apps and nonsense subscriptions, because Apple created a "race to the buttom" environment where developers can't actual make money. I'd rather see Apple fix their store, then governments forcing Apple to implement solutions that will even worse.
I personally support Docker Desktop for Mac for an organization of 250-300 engineers.

I have been supporting it for 2 years now. Been through all the Docker Desktop upgrades, performance issues everytthing. I have researched docker performance on macs running k3d + k3s + istio and a bunch of microservices. I have had to jump into the internals of Docker daemon and docker cli and networking to solve how docker networks are provisioned for various proxying issues.

1. Docker dragged their feet with native performance for file syncing. We have to selectively enable it and just so that it doesn't bog the machine down.

2. When running it gets the CPU running at 75-80C, causing the fan to run non-stop at 3000 rpm at least. It is definitely impact by bad macbook pro design, which is terrible at airflow and heat sink activities

3. We were on unstable for a bit to test the new file syncing approach. Docker dropped that in stable and said "deal with it"

4. The paid forced upgrade notification means that I can't peg the Docker Desktop version for the whole org at a certain version.

5. Right after we switch from the unstable to stable, the next minor version is a breaking change.

6. Number 4 would be fine it docker would keep to their guarantee of stable being stable. They do a terrible job of being backwards compatible. The current stable we had was 3.3.1. With the constant minor upgrades, and pushing people, some people went to 3.6.0. (the latest as of yesterday, Aug 30) This broke everything inexplicable with just a VM error where k3d would keep crashing. I downgraded everyone back to 3.3.1 to get teams unblocked while waiting for me to find a fix.

7. Finding a fix usually involves waiting for Docker to prioritize something but at this point I don't trust that Docker know what it is doing.

I am currently pushing for Linux laptops, hosted dev environments and reducing the need to run distributed monoliths. We shall see.

Basically Apache is a more "modern" license in the MIT/BSD vein that has language related to patents and perhaps other things that make lawyers more comfortable. I believe the Cloud Native Computing Foundation now requires Apache for new projects under the foundation. (The Apache Software Foundation also has a lot of projects associated with it as well of course.) And MIT's probably more common for individuals and small projects that just want a basic license without a lot of legal language they don't really understand.

Yep.

Your comment reminds me of the AI effect[0]. AI doesn't mean AGI.

It's not some reason; it's the law. The GS pay bands are set by legislation. No matter what some federal agency wants to pay, they can't pay more or less than Congress has allowed them to. Procurement budgets don't work like that. You still have a capped pot of money, but you can choose to allocate that to fewer projects because the contractors doing the work pay their labor high enough rates that the cost of a project is too high to pursue more.

As to your proposal of giving government contracts to big Silicon Valley players, they already do that. Amazon already runs all the government cloud infrastucture, with Microsoft trying to get a piece. Google may have dropped the Project Maven thing, but they have plenty of other government contracts.

Congress is never going to make pay rates for engineers directly employed by the government comparable to private companies because they have to answer to voters, and voters kick, scream, and shout if they find government employees are earning high salaries. We're in the middle of a 40-year drive to cut taxes and privatize all government functions. You're not just going to turn that around.

On the other hand, give out big money to private contractors who pay their engineers well and Congress can go brag about they brought money and jobs to their home state.

I feel comfortable with any of the three major OSs. Currently my daily driver is macOS, though I do most of my dev work on a remote Linux machine.

I wouldn't switch from macOS to Linux because my previous experience is that Linux won't work well or be unstable (with updates) on some hardware—in my case, a laptop. I have been reading that the situation has improve, but honestly I don't want to risk it. In general, even in purely software land, updates haven't always been smooth.

Even if all these issues were resolved, I'd need additional motivation to go through the effort of switching.

> Of this competition, only Google and Nvidia have supercomputers that stand toe to toe with the Tesla’s

Even assuming that it's true (which I very much doubt - anyone that's willing to spend enough money with Nvidia, can have powerful supercomputer fairly quickly), it's very dishonest statement. It's comparing deployed system with a lab prototype of a single competent of potential supercomputer, that may be fully operational in few years (software is a really, really, really big deal here).

interesting that a single word evokes such response. As an atheist i always found the principle of forgiveness rather peculiar as it's not natural to humans, but i guess it's one of the many reasons of its quick success before it became the roman religion. In fact i don't think any historians considers the quick early spread of christianity was due to mob behavior. OTOH, any religion can be described as big cult fueled by popular lies.
I'm guessing they're aiming for something similar feature-wise to the 3D model viewer built in to Windows 10.

A lot of people don't know it exists. It actually supports glTF 2.0 models with PBR textures, which I thought was pretty advanced for a preview application.

If you're curious go download this sample glTF model and open it on windows: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/tree/mast...

Still, it could be a can of worms because there's a ton of stuff that would need to be specified like camera, lighting, etc.

I don't really think it's that many.

The industry collectively sank untold billions into the blind belief that neural algorithms will somehow turn into "AI."

10 years later, no "AI," and not even a single money making niche use.

Right now the industry is deep in sank cost falacy, and people who promised this, and that to investors are now desperate, and doubling their bets in hopes that "at least something will come out of it...," a casino mode basically.

The concept of "reasonable" cannot be considered separately from the understanding of the status quo. This includes the whole context of the interactions and the set of "allowed" requests and outcomes.

I understand that the piece was outlined in order to somewhat rule the flood of requests and expectations on both sides in hope of reducing the intensity of conflicts.

Reason requires an arbiter, otherwise it's just a conviction by whatever means. Rules and regulations are an arbiter proxies.

So the appealing to be "reasonable" probably points to some deficiencies in the current rules, which no longer match the status quo.

Say, CS support requests to a team of just 3 may not be possible anymore to fullfill in, say, a week's time as when that team was 5 (the glorious do more with less). Same rules - different status quo.

What I'd find "reasonable" is a clear outline of the present deficiencies and mismatches to the current rules. Externalising the status quo and appealing to that. But this would be surely considered "unreasonable" by the overseers of CS Dept. That is politics dictate the reason.
I have a better idea. How about you look at EVERY open ticket, starting with those from paying customers?

It's worse than that. I remember when some 10 years ago Johnson&Johnson baby bottles were banned in one market, they were still available in others, and the FAQ on their website said they do this because they don't believe BPA is harmful. It is only after the total ban in 2012 that they stopped doing this.

You're focused on delivering solutions.

I learned that you gotta pick a boring Linux distro as your main OS. For me it's Kubuntu LTS. Sure, I've had small glitches like bluetooth headphone issues or flaky double screen support, but once you solve them, you're set for 5 years. At my age, I'll upgrade my main OS maybe 10-15 times at most.

I used to eagerly try the six-month releases, but I can't devote time to beta test anymore. Give me a boring, non-bleeding edge Linux, I can work with that.

You can't deny that it's a style. Not all games are served by having photorealistic graphics, in fact many of the game that are most thought of as 'beautiful' don't have photorealism and instead choose to use style instead (Breath of the Wild for one)

There is a element to `low-quality` style/resolution that makes your brain fill in the gaps, so to speak. When playing games that are not 100% photorealistic, your brain works to fill in the rough edges and textures with detail; which engages your imagination in a way that perfect graphics game never can.

Everyone doesn't end up with brain damage.

Most NFL players only play for a few seasons. The average career is only three seasons; the median is even lower. An exceptionally small number of players are going to suffer brain damage in two or three seasons.

Today's NFL players are paid far beyond extraordinarily well, they don't need the money. The bulk of the claims are coming from players in the past that were not paid so well and do need the money. Guys that used to play for $100,000 /yr across a ten year career, and played at a time when the NFL was far more violent and head protection was even worse.

A player that lasts 10-15 years in the NFL today will typically earn $100 million or more. They'll have a lot of money and some will have lasting brain damage. A very small fraction of those players will ever consider suing the NFL.

> I assume the NFL will end up bankrupt from civil claims?

That's an incorrect assumption. The legal cost will barely be a drop in the bucket of the NFL's financial machinery.

Someone else mentioned the $500m concussion fund was burned through sooner than expected. $50m-$100m per year is an easy problem for the NFL these days. The commissioner gets paid $40 million per year. League revenue was $16 billion in 2019. One team, the Dallas Cowboys, alone has $280 million in operating income. If you cycle out ten more years, the NFL could afford $500 million every single year in liability costs related to head injuries, and it would still be fine (and that number isn't going to happen).
Bear in mind the avg westerner is super-rich compared to most of global pop'n and most of history. You're just observing people that are even more obscenely rich. Are they happy? Would you be happier if you had what they had? ;). There's the well-known graph where happiness rises steeply as one's wealth raises to cover the basics of life, then flatlines after that. In my experience , people with more money are often less happy, more stressed, and ironically seem to have more money worries.
