1 MB is huge.

Keep in mind that IBM PC/XT had only 640 kB, but there were compilers and interpreters for any language, which were available for it.

Moreover, before IBM PC, a CP/M computer with Zilog Z80 or Intel 8080 had usually only 32 kB or 48 kB, but you could use without problems Basic interpreters, Pascal, Fortran, Cobol and PL/M compilers and many others.

However, in order to fit in 32 kB, the compilers themselves were typically written using a macro-assembler, and not in a high-level language. The C language became popular for such tasks somewhat later.
I grew up in the state of Chiapas and remember being fascinated by the pyramids from the Maya. I used to look around in awe when flying over and think about the undiscovered wonders beneath. This train project is going to unearth some neat things!
I have never heard that metaphor before but I like it very much.
> I'm not saying Terraform is not good, but I just think a native solution of the platform is preferable over a 3rd party tool.

I would agree if you have your green-field approach and can commit to a single platform.

From my current experience I use AWS, Azure some other SaaS hosted products like ElasticSearch, Instana, Opsgenie, Kubernetes, databases, Grafana, Prometheus. And with all these products you have a bunch of people in the companry which specialize in their domain and can't know all the tools in all details but have to talk to each other.

So what makes terraform so special in my case is that you can streamline the interaction between multiple teams by focusing on defining well-known interfaces between those teams. The interfaces in the case of terraform would be:

variables (inputs)

outputs

Or you can have specialized teams, which will offer terraform modules for other teams to use.

So for me terraform does not have to be agnostic as this is not the point of it. The benefit of terraform is to streamline interactions (inputs,outputs) for your needs. Teams could automate their things with a python script for example, and use terraform just as a "hull" to offer a way to pass inputs,args to you python script and report back some outputs.

What a Dockerfile did, was to establish a well-known interface on how to define what a container is, by giving a standard-way on how to declare a "CMD,ENTRYPOINT,PORT,etc."

And terraform in that sense gives you a standard on how to define your inputs,outputs when you build,configure infrastructure,Saas, etc.
Maybe that’s what congress should do. Until such time, Signal should follow the law, in letter and in spirit. Even if the US democracy is flawed, it’s still a lot closer to the concept than any alternative.
Well, in that case all the current debate is meaningless.

Facebook already is a digital ecosystem company - they aren't changing anything at all.
Caveat, I haven't really read up in depth on their renaming to a html tag element. So: I don't know about all of that, but on this topic of virtual cars and such I've got a bit of knowledge.

I've already paid a lot of money for a number of high quality car models I can drive quite accurately on high quality race track scans with lots of other people in iRacing.

These are works of love, and I greatly appreciate that the interest in iRacing has boomed as much as it has since I joined the Papyrus guys' latest offering in 2008.

Heck, soon I'll even be able to connect a real BMW M4 racing wheel to my sim setup, adding more $$$$s yet also more realism to a setup already deep my the investment path; I just don't see the use case for "having cars" in <meta name="rainbowpuke" content="Facebook" /> or whatever if it's only going to be window dressing; I mean, what's the point, unless we enter the fidelity of e.g. iRacing. So I can't see "meta" competing with them at all unless they either buy it (and they wouldn't; it's far too hardcore) or a competitor.

I can see the value of motorsport companies investing in esports, however, as the newest generation of F1 drivers have their roots in that and e.g. karts - which enables a connection to the fanbase hitherto impossible. Would they find value in giving lots of money to MetaFace instead? Time will tell; it'll be interesting to see what eventuates from all of this. First impressions are pretty much Candy Crush in VR - with all the spam you could possibly tolerate, and then some. (No thanks.)
Before the dot com bust, people who used to work for Sun or SGI who lived out in places like Sacramento or elsewhere would park their RVs (caravan) in the parking lots and save on commute time and also not have to buy expensive housing (even though compared to today it was affordable, but still they liked living where they lived). It wasn’t super common but a few did that.
I think this is a good point why it would be good if we, as an industry, accommodate these emotions rather than force them away or pretend they don't occur.

At the same time, it doesn't have to mean that one cannot improve things independently. We can't change personality, but we can change beliefs, which also affects what we feel.

Consider this: I used to feel really bad about having my pull requests getting reviewed, because other programmers would leave insensitive comments full of criticism. At one point, I just realized that they are not motivated by shaming me, but that they just care about the codebase's quality (and are not very good at conveying emotions in written comments). This change in perception literally changed how I feel about it.
that's a bit of a stretch.

Genere in Italian comes from the Latin word genus and means biological sex for people and animals but also kind.

Translate genere to English

noun
1. gender
2. kind

They ate not conflated, they depend on the context

What kind of beast is that? -> Che genere di bestia è?

What's that book genre? -> Di che genere è quel libro?

How to write gender questions -> come scrivere domande sul genere
You also need to be careful with your empathy, it can get burned if you are exposed to the wrong users too much. It's good to stand back a bit before trying to relate to a user issue and ask "does this person deserve my attention"... that might not sound fair, but if you don't you will start to not care at all.

You're right that US isn't as bad as other countries. US though has higher property taxes, in most states 1-2% of the value of the house each year. This makes houses less affordable, and prevents crazy high prices.
A soul is not simply consciousness. A soul usually means some non-physical entity that can exist independently from the physical body (e.g. when you die).

Pure nonsense of course.

Kind of tongue in cheek; parents know the struggle of getting kids to sleep, it takes dedication and effort to not just wait until they decide themselves to go to sleep.

This dedication and effort requires time and patience, and with more kids raised without multiple adults (time is zero sum), that time is missing, and those kids ‘naturally’ decide on much less sleep than they need (because as we all know, the distractions available are amazingly fun).
Even the 13-25 year old males who are excited about this will tire of VR quickly. VR is comparable to 3-D movies and televisions, exciting the first few times you try it but once the novelty fades you just don't care enough about it.

On the other hand, do you consider an end-of-the-19th-century lifestyle an acceptable target to aim at? I've found people tend to aim a lot higher when given the option.
True. But it's a considerable step forward, and some of those engines provide shorter pathways for certifying sibling models, probably.
Except I was replying to a comment about systemic acceptance of privacy deprivation. Groping and racism are considered unacceptable in most places, good case studies to correlatr and then find cause of systemic acceptances.

Interesting how you are trying to change the conversation and make it about the analogy used to analyze the root cause of the issue described in the post.
You're not adjusting for inflation, which they are. Still, I have no idea where they're getting their numbers, which seem comically wrong.

> Accounting for inflation, house prices have soared by 118% since 1965, despite the fact that income has only increased by 15%.

They use the median for that, which seems to have actually increased by 60%:

For a while. Wirth's Law still applies. Web developers will find further ways to mess up rendering some basic shapes and letters.
Indeed.

While teaching myself web development I spent 4 months in a tent (Texas), then later 2 months in a tent (Alaska), and later 2 more months in a tent (Oregon). In the first two cases, I worked part time (event marketing; fish smokehouse) in order to focus on learning new skills rather than working dead-end jobs.

If one is financially destitute though, definitely do research on skills which are in demand-- such a person can't afford to specialize in something which is financially unproductive.

I learned software development primarily because I saw Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers showing its high demand and future growth. (Fortunately I found that it suits my personality and interests)

But to live in a tent (or make lifestyle or financial sacrifices in general) as a PhD student studying something which doesn't have a high economic demand nor utility... To me is just unwise.

Great article. I’ve also just started using nomad to manage personal services on my home loan.

What I particularly like is that I have a mixture of Docker containers, VMs, and LXD containers all centrally managed.

Overall I found nomad to be fairly intuitive, and the single binary/single job paradigm of the Hashicorp stack is very appealing.
FizzBuzz is limited to [1…100].

Output as an ASCII string, it is fewer than 400 bytes including \n’s.

If you’re counting GB/S, you’ve failed to understand the specification.

One of the sophisticated engineering aspects of FizzBuzz is that all optimizations are premature.

It is a boring problem. People being people invent different problems to provide a chance to be clever.
I would rather not distract from the discussion at hand. If you don't already know the answer to that, I would rather not discuss the subject here.
As somebody who actually tried this — not much. You’ll need a lot of tacit information on how (thermo)nuclear weapons can be constructed, the feedback from actual engineers and experimental results, etc. I can design e.g. an implosion simulation with some open source CFD codes, but how can I verify my results without access to (really expensive) explosion testing rigs and measurement equipment? Thermonuclear weapons are a whole another story: the experimental equipment for testing radiation compression is prohibitively expensive. So, thankfully, a working nuclear program is still only possible for nation-states and extremely sophisticated organizations.
I find your presentation of this argument disingenuous and in bad faith.

4. They have 4 listed disputes in Wikipedia: NBC/Universal, HBO, Spectrum, and Google; the first three were resolved (the first one the same day as the grievance).

https://channelstore.roku.com

There are hundreds (if not hundreds upon hundreds) of services provided over the Roku hardware/service including it's direct competitors (Amazon Prime TV / Fire stick), more than I can sit here and count without wasting my life.

You would have readers believe that Roku is out there pissing everyone off, being the bad kid on the block, making demands and being a troublemaker. They have had 4 disputes. 4. Out of hundreds of partners. 4.
The military has such an odd no-sleep culture. "Hey, let's load up a submarine full of nuclear weapons and a nuclear reactor and then generate a schedule that requires everyone on board to function at a cognitive deficit with no spatial references."

Sorry, can't agree. You can validate the performance of dogs in a test setup, just like you can validate machine learning in a sandbox environment.
> touch remote is a travesty

Both of these are changeable via settings (if you’re talking about the current generation remote, if the old one an Apple TV can be trained to use any other remote). I have a bunch of Roku devices and an Apple TV and typically prefer the Apple TV: the apps are of higher quality, Airplay is a great added feature and most importantly: no ads. Roku used to have barely any but they’re adding more and more and it’s getting obnoxious.

If land was treated as the scarce asset it would fix a lot of issues.

Land taxed appropriately would incentivize higher density housing in order for the economics to work.

We’re in a weird incentive trap (in the Bay Area anyway) where owners protected by prop13 have massive wealth and are incentivized to restrict supply. New owners that manage to over pay for a home are further incentivized to restrict supply to keep prices high so they’re not underwater.

This is a bad feedback loop that creates real property scarcity. It’s also arguably a problem of regulation constraining the market’s ability to meet demand appropriately.
While nominally true for many bacteria, there’s still overwhelmingly many we can’t culture, and those we can take many different media to cultivate.

“Bacterial culture is frequently more difficult and often requires more training than molecular techniques”[1]

There’s a good chance that many doctors are stuck in a mindset that culturing is too difficult, costly, and time consuming to be effective for all but the most resistant infections, but I’m not sure they’re wrong.

I think you're missing the core idea.

For one party to see returns exceeding interest, another party has to pay for that (exponential) rate of return. It's unaffordable for the second party.

These prices compound, exponentially, and as a result younger generations spend much more of their money in wealth transfers to older landowners. It's unsustainable unless the wages of younger generations also start to rise at similar rates, which isn't happening.

Because the government:

1. Manipulates interest rates directly affecting house prices

2. Changes tax rates depending on housing (mortgage interest)

3. Buys mortgages

4. Zones areas which can restrict or increase supply based on policy.

Yes, if they didn’t do any of these, people wouldn’t blame government policy and we’d see what a functioning market results in.
One driver of that is the model of owner occupied housing as the primary mechanism of middle class wealth accumulation.

Traditionally SFHs tend to perform much better as investments than condos. When you’re in an environment of secularly rising prices, you’re heavily pressured to get on the property ladder.

People want to buy and own an SFH as soon as they can. Otherwise if they get a condo the risk is the SFH market moves away from them and they’ll be priced out when they need it.
> In many countries, FB-only internet is free and that means FB-only internet is the internet for like a billion people.

I'm not so sure that this shows Facebook pulling off an odds-defying feat. AFAIK Facebook targeted people who would have never touched a mobile phone or have working internet otherwise. Any company with sufficiently deep pockets to subsidise internet for free could roll out a similar locked-down internet for these people.

I already force-enabled EGL in firefox 93 on Arch Linux with the 470.74 nvidia driver, and the performance is stellar compared with what it used to be. Before EGL all desktop applications (including firefox) would stutter when a video was playing in firefox.

I did not encounter any bugs so far.
the reason your figures aren't comparable is because the U.S. figures being used :

a. Are not incomes for just a single-wage earner, they include the combined income for a household (of 2.53 people on average)

b. Are referred to in pre-tax figures, not post-tax.

c. Are not just wage income, but include non-wage income like dividends, capital gains, small business income, fed/state/local government transfers, etc.

d. Are using the median, not the average (mean).

Sounds like you're speaking from experience here, so it's not for me to tell you you're wrong to feel that way.

But from my POV, we've started using VR for work meetings/social gatherings (we're a remote company, myself in Spain, the majority in SF), and we've been able to achieve a level of rapport with each-other that's just not possible via a webcam.

We will definitely continue to use it.
Intel 8086 and 8088 did not have invalid instruction exceptions.

The opcodes that were not documented were either redundant, doing exactly the same thing as other documented opcodes, or they crashed the system.

Later, in 1982, 80186 and 80286 introduced invalid opcode exceptions, so starting with the IBM PC/AT any program intended for later CPUs should abort with an error message.

Most IBM PC/XT were made with Intel 8088, so the behavior of an 80386 program is unpredictable.

Some PC/XT clones were made with 80186 or 80188, or, more frequently, with NEC V20 processors. All these had invalid opcode exceptions, so they should behave like a PC/AT.
I think you're confusing apples with trees here...

Your choice now is whether to vaccinate or not. It's not whether to vaccinate or be infected. Being infected or not is another choice that luck chooses for you at some point in the future. Being infected again or not is another choice that luck chooses for you at some point still further in the future, assuming that you luck decides to infect you in the previous step.

So: Your resistance against the first infection is near zero without the vaccine, much better with. Your resistance against the second infection is what's being discussed in this study.

I'm not sure how to compare vaccines with natural resistance fairly without that off-by-one infection number. People say it's better than the vaccine, but that disregards the nonzero chance of dying while acquiring the immunity. Some five million people have died in the process of acquiring that immunity — it seems difficult to call that "better than" anything.

It’s about how you can get stuck on thinking about and implementing great architectures instead of actual usable products. Like never actually writing code because you keep getting stuck in debates about what programming language to use (or even about creating your own language to solve all problems).
As a software engineer, Terraform/HCL being a real declarative programming language is a big advantage of the big ball of JSON/YAML from cloudformation.
Essential was a misnomer. What it tried to capture without saying it was people who needed to be on-site to perform their duties. The majority was blue collar work and service work -both very manual endeavors, but it also included doctors and supervisory engineers who keep things like water treatment running, drug manufacturing, research moving, etc.

But we still needed “office” workers who support other areas of enterprises. Legal, contracts, compliance, HR, financial, development, management, etc. All still very essential to the viability of an enterprise but who could perform those duties remotely.

Sure there is necessary fluff like all the idiotic “trainings” in different things that are self- perpetuating industries that are in reality box checking exercises, they are a drag but a minority of things.
It doesn't turn the group masculine, it turns the word used to the masculine plural, which is the generic word for a group of people.

But if you take sciences, for example, it's plural feminine in French and Italian.

If you put a masculine discipline in the group, for example "law" which is masculine in Italian (il diritto), the group of disciplines is still referred to as feminine "le scienze"

It's a matter of gender of the plural word, it has nothing to do with biological sex.
