> Saying black is specific but person of color just means not white

Is Obama black or white?

As a father to a mixed race son, where people draw the line on whether it's "OK" for someone to self-identify or be described as black vs. white is a topic that interests me, and it's wildly inconsistent (but leaning strongly towards it taking far more white ancestry for most people to "accept" that people call themselves white than the reverse), and highly politicised, and there are absolutely no clear lines.

EDIT: I've spoken to my son about answering the inevitable "but where are you really from originally" with "Norway" for example, if he feels safe doing so (and safety is a real concern with that), since I'm Norwegian. It's just as accurate as answering Nigerian (his mother is Nigerian), which would be the answer most people asking that question would be looking for, but would hopefully make at least some people stop to think why they were asking it.
Well the people designing the boards care. Many huge enterprise companies care (for reasons I don’t completely understand but I don’t work in that space any more). And AMD’s volume is nothing like Intel’s — one of Intel’s lucky breaks.

I think AMD is mostly a consumer brand and consumers aren’t buying a lot of PCs these days (except for a small transient due to Covid).
Having worked with S3+Cloudfront as well as Netlify, I can say with confidence that Netlify is better anyways. And it's hard to beat free...
This is very worrying. People are passive observers, detached from reality, who have been trained to unemotionally film, document, and report to the nearest authority without intervening.

Additionally, they have been trained not to intervene if a Black person is doing something, because that would be racist and they don't want to be all over Twitter and lose their jobs. What a splendid society we have created in the past 10 years.
Well, you can document your attempts to close the account and report it to the police. It's just a lot of work and you will only gain a document you can use to press your credit card issuer into rejecting the payments.

Also, if they do send your debit to collectors, you can go to a court and ask for the debit to be dropped and for them to pay damages. That is a lot more work, but if they are clearly on the wrong will get you something.
Service2 has a setService2 method and private Service2 member? Maybe just a typo, but doesn't exactly allay my concerns that this is another spaghetti-code pattern.
Yes, it would be great as they have weird recommendations just because you listen to one music; they will mess up your playlist recommendations.

That 19% you can get back if you are outside of Yurop.
It’s the ultimate mistake people keep making about programmers’ work.

That it’s linear or at least can be approximated with some linear formula, even if multidimensional.

The question itself implies that there’s some linear “productivity” scale where you can put all your developers and see who’s more and who’s less productive.

Because of this fallacy still dominating management minds - we developers can for example hardly justify 2x, 3x salary raise, even though we realize sometimes that our impact and value is as much higher relative to some peers.

The brutal truth is that the contribution of a developer to any complex and big enough project is rarely proportional to any measurable metrics. And barely ever can be reliably connected to such a metrics.

developer A can just sit around few days and invent simple yet scalable decision with just 1 PR, while developer B would be writing thousands of lines of a good looking code.

But this great looking and even well documented code might kill the whole product at some point in near future, even because of some new requirements that nobody could expect (except that developer A, who wasnt promoted for bad “productivity” and quit).

Add to this the fact that often you can’t really know who was good and who was the bad developer - at the moment both had good arguments.

So, my point is that big software products are essentially non linear, dynamic and poorly predictable beasts.

I don’t have ready answers on “how to decide who’s gonna be promoted”.

But i feel the farther you go from trying to “engineer” and “deeplearn” this issue and closer to trusting intuitions of experienced dev leaders, to treating developers as people not machines, considering each project as a unique thing, with unique approaches — the closer you to the truth and to real improvements.

Just don't get in a hurry. That way you can look far enough ahead to predict any issues before they become pressing. When you're starting out, this also gives you time to remember how the transmission works (although all new rigs are automatics now, which might explain the high schoolers). All the idiots on the street with you can either pass or wait behind.

I spent 4 years driving a 35ft RV with our family. The trips were fun, the driving is scary.

Wind affects you so much. You can feel big vehicles passing you. Every slight angle on a road makes you feel like you’re going to tip over. You need special navigation systems that know your vehicle size so you don’t get routed down a road where you can’t turn around or a bridge can’t support you.

Definitely learned to appreciate truck stops and rest areas though. Parking overnight fills up so many times you’ll end up in a Walmart parking lot because of all the cameras.

It’s an adventure. It could be fun and a lot of people love it. Some people especially get into long distance trucking.

But IMO it’s definitely a full time job with a lot of responsibilities. I’m shocked there aren’t more accidents which is really a credit to all of these drivers and their training.

I'm not normally a fan of sharing ALBs between services as a lot of the metrics [1] are only recorded for the load balancer as a whole, not each individual target group (an application attached to the load balancer).

yeah, the "find a niche" advice falls flat without an addendum entitled "how to find a niche". I think fundamentally it comes from talking to people rather than theorising in a bubble, but unless you're already talking to people it's tricky to know how to begin.

If the object is made of one metal only, then it won't corrode as quickly due to a lack of galvanic reaction. In addition, if it can be covered by a thin oxide layer early on then it can be preserved longer. 900 year old iron in seawater isn't unthinkable. In addition, due to the inclusion of carbon into the iron by the smelting process, it is very easy to radiocarbon date up to 50,000 year old objects and verify their true age.

It's a real shame that so many of our datasets start out in the middle of the 20th century when people used atmospheric nuclear tests to light cigarettes [0] and then drove home in their lead gasoline fueled trucks to eat in lead painted dining rooms food grown under the protection of DDT. I would guess if one looked at the chemical environment for all of human history, somewhere between 1950 and 1970 would probably be the absolute furthest from the baseline.

This is not going to help. You have to be 21.

Also, California's AB5 law has outlawed owner operators, which is a very large chunk of how trucking has worked for decades, making trucking a less desirable career. This is also one of the big reasons for the large backlog at the CA ports.
> Sure, my point is just that (among top corporations), engineers have been largely reduced to commodity goods.

But that was always the case. Lets say you can save a company millions of dollars by being competent at SQL. Guess what? Any of the millions of people who are competent at SQL could also have saved that company millions of dollars. Why not just hire anyone of those? You are a part of the sea of programmers with similar skills as yourself, that is what you are selling and what companies are buying. So to set yourself apart from the sea of others you show you are smart enough or hard working enough to pass coding interviews, since most of your peers who also know SQL can't pass those.
Missing a /s tag? Isn't that the (International Brotherhood of) Teamsters?
That example code looks like the worst of all worlds.

First off you aren't using interfaces, which makes it unclear how you're writing test versions of your classes, but also you're setting up a massive foot gun by having a dependancy-injector with completely uncoupled consumers later in that same class. For example if I have multiple setService (e.g. serviceA, serviceB, and serviceC) and I want to call .afterPropertiesSet(), how do I know which it depends on externally? Do I have to go inspect afterPropertiesSet()'s code? Or just wait for an exception to be thrown in a Run<->Throw<->Fix endless cycle? Eww.

There's a very, very, good reason why all DI frameworks have you use interfaces and the class's constructor to inject. Because if injection happens during class construction, every call after can make the assumption those things exist. By decoupling that assumption from those calls, you've created a development hell (i.e. this is an unmaintainable mess).

There're two good ways to do DI:

- During class construction. They then always exist in the class's scope.

- Every method call individually takes in all explicit dependencies (e.g. GetMagic(iDatabase database, iDateTime dateTime, ...)).

Your example is neither of those.

"My name is Deja Vu. Haven't we already met?"
Completely agree. Big rigs with full load can weigh something like 80,000 pounds (40 tons)! They're much more dangerous to begin with due to the size and weight. Add to that dangerous road conditions (fog, rain, ice, snow) and it's much worse. Now put someone who's only had their driver's license a few years. Lack of maturity (generally speaking) and experience really makes it dicey. Heaven help us if the driver is glued to their phone texting their pals.
pure speculation, but I reckon this is due to security concerns. the camera on a laptop is off by default, including when the laptop opens. i for one have always been a little concerned that most phones (android and ios) don't have a "camera on" indicator.

I wanted to use ECS/Fargate earlier this year and the deploy kept failing. It was an issue on my end, but the infuriating thing was that Cloudwatch didn't have any logs 80% of the time. Like, at random: I could click the redeploy button 5 times and 4 of those times wouldn't have logs while one would. Of course, they charged me per deploy. I ended up running up a bill of $100 before I said screw it and used DigitalOcean instead (where I had logs consistently and was able to debug my container deploy within about 10 minutes and only a few cents of a bill).

“the main product was an app...that would lock the phone if it was stolen, or if the customer stopped paying. The app was built as part of the Android OS, so you couldn't uninstall it. It would lock the low-level features that allowed you to make calls, use Wifi...until you paid up.

All good.”

No, not all good. There’s the problem right there. If I stop paying you can stop providing me the service I’m paying for. Using WiFi has nothing to do with you. Breaking my property this way, without a court judgement allowing you to do it, is not only unethical, but should be a criminal offense, and is at least a civil tort.

The potential liability here is literally unlimited. I believe responsible cell providers allow you to call 911, or the equivalent in your location, even if your account is delinquent. But you can’t do that if your phone is locked in this way. Did anyone die because of this product and this guy’s recklessness?

I have a degree in physics. There are more significant periods of climate change in recorded history that predate the Industrial Revolution. Just because we put more carbon in the air doesn’t mean that subsequent “changes in climate” are caused by that additional carbon.
In fairness, UK streets are often tiny compared to those in the US (at least in my experience motoring around southern England for a week). I suspect that plays a nontrivial role.

Yeah, in Germany too - ID card containing RFID chip, so you can access government websites if you first buy a contactless card reader and manage to install the browser plugin. And guess what? These cards have been issued since 2010, so all the cards in circulation now theoretically support this feature (if the person didn't opt out), but almost noone actually uses it...
Agree with the idea. I'm also trying to apply this model in my life. If I don't understand something or just don't have the time or interest in doing smth, I just don't do / learn it or delegate it to someone else. As a great example, was my last essay. I just couldn't finish it myself. So I delegated it to professionals from https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/grabmyessay, who already have the needed knowledges to write it for me.
That's a pretty nice proposal.

You are not forced to backup your entire hard-drive. There is a 3rd party program called: rclone

That program let's you choose which files/directories get copied over to BackBlaze.
We have 150+TB (+10TB/week) stored at BackBlaze and I use rclone exclusively to upload our content for backup.

Note, it's a CLI program that works on Linux/BSD. I'm not aware of any other platforms that it works on.

The fact that there are people in this thread that found it ambiguous is to me sufficient evidence that it is poorly written, even though the context in this specific case makes it possible to reliably infer what was actually meant.

Especially given that there are several trivial ways of reordering the sentence that makes it unambiguous.

The problem is not "present-day X". The problem is the position of "present-day X" within the sentence.
I'm speaking of the inertial scrolling tween that causes the coast to stop pre-Google Maps era, and makes the interface feel like handling an actual physical object, not the sliding of things into a viewport. Viewports and tiling had been done long before that time period.

That physics combination with drag and drop interaction was not obvious in the time period we are discussing. The closest thing I can remember to that sort of thing were side scrolling games that accelerated with the character centered on the screen according to the game's physics, and possibly paddle-based game physics dating to the Atari era.

Slowly increasing scroll was present in some interfaces. But not tweened stop.

My main point is that clever people often dismiss what they find trivial to be obvious to others, and while that's often the case once many examples have been observed, it isn't prior to the exposure to many examples.

More than Enough. When you have 1 Billion iPhone customer who are also in the highest paying basket. The purchasing power is likely over 50% of the total market. As similarly shown in App Store market.

The problem is Apple has always had an Asset Light strategy. Keeping many Datacenter of Storage running just isn't their thing. That is why they are still relying on Azure, AWS for iCloud Storage.

>And if not, then they're still stealing iDevice margin to price cloud competitively.

Currently the iCloud Services ( or in fact all Services Revenue ) are masked by App Store profit and Google's Search Engine Deal. i.e most of their other Services like Apple Music, iCloud, News+ are low margin business but are used to dilute down their extremely high margin profits from App Store and Search Engine.
Yes, I guess if the problem is specifically these machines, then a sufficiently high tax to bring their usage down would work better.
On one hand, I think it's good that high school kids are getting into blue collar work like trucking.
