I don't know how you're calibrated for what is significant enough to count. Could you give a few examples from comparable companies? So successful new markets entered by Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook or Netflix in the last five years.

At late 80s I had a Hercules graphics card where you could pick ASCII/YUSCII by flipping the switch on the back of the card.
If I have to fly within Europe I always opt for the cheap options, the time spent in air isn't long enough for me to bother sitting a little cramped. I'd say a lot of Europeans feel the same, so "nobody" might just as well be "most". Don't spread misinformation.
To be fair, when you fly to tiny regional airports 100 miles away from the city you're supposedly flying to, it's not hard to advertise destinations that larger airlines don't serve ... (only slightly joking).

When you buy an ISO standard, it is marked by the buyer ID.

To make it publicly available, you need to strip it. That means the file must be modified, and the tampered copy must be stored somewhere.

Sci-hub has a different model: it is decentralized because it lends credentials to download protected articles. It does not store them. It cannot remain decentralized if it stored or cached the content.

I looked into it to write a QR-code tool. Getting the standard was a bullshit process and I wasn't going to pay that much for a side-project. I did not write the tool as a result, even though I'm not happy with the one existing on linux (though, thanks a lot to its author, who did so using the standard at personal cost for public benefit).

The solution I found was to buy it properly, but go through eastern-Europe countries, to make it cheaper. Still bullshit to have to buy a standard for common tooling necessary to interact with everyday life.
Even if you run Linux, how to you ensure that the SoC does not e.g. scan memory and send telemetry to Apple independently of the installed operating system?
if your content is in github then there is a benefit to having content and comments in the same place.

Otherwise it's still a good thing to have your comments in a repo because it'll live forefer and can be replicated anywhere.
Absolutely terrifying.

The worst bit isn't even that it crashed - these things are complicated and they can can go wrong, and the setup of the aviation industry is supposed to (and historically did) result in a full blameless post mortem which identified root cause issues and made sure the same thing could never happen again.

That very clearly hasn't happened here, the system is broken, and I'd have difficulty trusting any new Boeing plane at this point
There's no reason to fly Ryanair

I agree with everything you say, however as someone who lives in a smaller secondary city, Ryanair is often the only airline offering direct flights to many destinations. So unfortunately in many cases the choice is a €50 90 minute direct flight with Ryanair or a €250 3-5 hour trip with 1 or 2 changes.
Most people don't just rent a single GPU to run something outside of training. A10 tensors are a faster version of T4, which are cheaper for running inference (albeit slower than typical GPU).

Cheapest reasonable GPU instance you can get on EC2 is P3.2xlarge with $3.06/h.
The "Remote Workstations" use case is interesting: what kind of software do people use to do that nowadays? Is x2go still a thing?
I think a lot more happened there than just piracy. Just based on what I heard, I certainly never had an account on any of the sites... . Perhaps over time, more will be known publically. SA lead to 4chan and 8chan, many conspiracies started on these sites as memes. Look at 8kun for example. Behind the scenes of sites like SA existed a large collection of questionable groups. Just imagine the bandwidth needed and the kinds of political connections required to keep it off of the radar. Also consider how the whole Warez scene operates in general. Experienced programmers writing cracks, leaked movies and tv shows, drugs, etc.

Kind of like the silk road before the darkweb.

Hopefully more will be known over time because there are some crazy stories.

Not that I would know anything about any of it
Google Outage in Europe
I actually don't mind it too much. Their ops are usually good and direct flights are convienient.

I also like their honesty. You get what you pay for.

Lufthansa on the other hand removed everything (free checked luggage, free drinks, free food) and said that passengers would be much happier to personalise their flight experience by buying everything separately.
You do have to. The more accurate you want, the bigger money you have to pay too.
> There's no reason to fly Ryanair

Plenty of people disagree with you and I'm one of them. If the upside is paying 10 euros for covering 1500 km I can handle the cattle-like experience for 2 hours.
In the article : "Yet only 8% of the distance travelled by land in the EU is by rail. Even in the most train-happy countries, Austria and the Netherlands, the figures are 13% and 11%. In those countries, more than 75% of land travel is done by car. "
Yes, more than 75% of land travel is done by car because trains are incredibly expensive.
yet I see in the discussions that we should make flying more expensive. Trains are not really competing with airplanes, but personal cars!
To be fair to Ryanair, their experience has improved.
No more stampede - 'a seat will be allocated to you (free of charge)'. Less strident attempts to sell you scratch tickets. Staff seem to have been told it's acceptable to smile at customers.
I have never been a fan, but my last few trips with them have been fine.
I'd say there's a lot of people who like you flew with them during their worst days, and will never give them another go.
You only get one chance to make a first impression.
Funny. I feel less strain and pain in neck and shoulders with a split keyboard compared to “normal” due to shoulders being more open.

I guess it just goes to show our bodies are different and there’s no universal ergonomically optimal solution.
> What if abandoning entire cartons of merchandise, and then shipping replacements, just has plain-old higher ROI for Amazon, than does peeling a driver off their route to get those parcels fed back into the system for re-routing?

It's not. Delivery works with a hub and spoke model. Simply get it back to the nearest local distribution point and it will be dealt with.

However, the loss just isn't tracked by Amazon. "Unable to recover packages due to atrocious processes" will be indistinguishable in their reporting to "van flooded/burnt, packages lost". So they don't see the problem and can't see any reason to fix it.

How I can tell - the customer service couldn't even figure out how much the packages were worth. No cost benefit calculation was performed.
Is there no premade software for Linux that syncs a Windows share?
That makes an awful amount of sense.

I sporadically ask myself, what would be the most fun to do for me?

And then just do it. After a short period of time, I'm usually exhausted or bored by it and come back to more meaningful stuff.

I got this advice from the now habit by Neil Fire. I haven't read the whole book, just skipped forward to the solution but it helps.
> In gambling addiction the gamblers aren't addicted to winning, they are addicted to losing, or "almost winning".

I disagree. I remember my DotA addiction, I wasn't addicted to losing or "almost winning", if anything I was addicted to "almost losing". Stomping the enemy wasn't fun, getting stomped wasn't fun, almost winning but losing in the end was VERY not fun, almost losing but winning in the end was a huge high, and that's why I'd play. To get that feeling again.
If you're worried about these sorts of situations then there aren't going to be very many choices for you. You can't choose Intel because they have their management engine, you can't choose AMD because they don't own their own fabs.

You could go full air-gapped and get a machine without any network cards. Would still recommend a nice bunker deep inside a mountain just to be on the safe side.
I mean the definition is public. "The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 of a second." You don't go through a paywall to find the definition.

Of course that definition might not be particularly convenient for someone who just wants to measure a meter accurately.

Office with Ribbon was clearly the right decision. I absolutely despised the menu hell that preceeded it (minus the fact that hotkeys worked a lot better). The ribbon has since been adopted by non MS tools as well, and I'm happier for it.

Also, Windows Phone 7 came out under Ballmer, and it was So. Much. Better. than either iOS or Android at the time. A keyboard that had proper autocorrection, an OS that could run blazing fast on absoulte rubbish specs and a cohesive design (that wasn't skeumorphic).

Ballmer wasn't a god, but this idea that he had this anti-midas touch is clearly bunk.
Hi, I'm one of the authors of this new version of Alloy (which was code-named Electrum for some years): if you have any question, please do not hesitate to ask.

Indeed, Alloy is a model finder and you must bound the size of considered signatures. Still, notice you can now rely on complete temporal model-checking (based on NuSMV or nuXmv), meaning the temporal horizon doesn't have to be bounded. In practice, you'll still have small signature bounds, but that's an improvement.

The UI is indeed old but the visualization part is really nice and, I think, still quite unique to help you understand a counterexample. We adapted it to display traces and also to allow exploration of alternative traces, which is really useful in practice (e.g. to check whether a certain operation is doable at some point in a trace).

We also have a solving option that leverages CPU cores to (usually) accelerate solving quite a bit if the executed command is expected to return an instance.
Well, to walk into a minefield, I can only agree with her.

Looks like it'll be a while before this thing runs Linux with anywhere near acceptable performance if glxgears still runs in software at 60% CPU.
> Yea of course, and thats my point.

Great, so then you would agree then, if someone's "opinions especially if it changes or influences others." caused other people to not get vaccinated, that that would be very bad, and that it would be a good idea to make sure this person is less successful, in their ability to influence others to do that.
I think it is certainly true that planes are subsidized - they are not paying tax on fuel, for example, and I can't think of any good reason why it should be the case.

I am not so bullish on trains, however - it takes a long time to build the lines and it will again benefit only few big cities. As with bikes, it is a discussion of city inhabitants for city inhabitants, for the rest of us car is still the only comfortable solution because it can take you anytime anywhere.
Excellent article, though I don't agree on the conclusion to the question "Is it a problem that of computer science degrees earned, only 28% are earned by women?"

No, I don't think that is a problem.

WHY only 28% ? Maybe the answers to that are problems.
I don't care about gender, or race or religion or whatever.

Being discriminated against? A problem.
I can't actually come up with anything else that's a problem. And I've never seen this discrimination happen, because there's never even been anyone to discriminate against in the first place!

Public school: ~50% females in class, 0 interested in computers.

Tech school: 0% females in class to begin with.

Uni: 0% females in class to begin with.

I don't _CARE_ about the gender of my coworkers, I care if they're competent at their job and pleasant enough to be around and decent human beings. Everyone who fit those criteria are absolutely most welcome on entirely equal terms.

I can only conclude that some people are more likely to want to enter tech than others. Why that is, I don't know, and I don't care either, that's their choice.

This will get downvoted as me being negative towards women in tech, which I am not, I'm neutral about it, no special treatment, positive or negative from me, sorry.
Yes exactly, at least now there is a push by places like JAIC, DIU, IQT to get more startups (or even companies like Google) involved in natsec but these legacy defense companies give me no comfort that they can deliver anything other than overpriced weapons systems only useful to fight an adversary like Iraq that had capabilities from generations before and no real defenses.
You can't. But that worry is not Apple specific. Unless you fab your own chip this can always happen. And in fab your own chip I don't mean contract TSMC to do it. Literally do it yourself. TSMC could also place a trojan on the silicon.

A little off topic, but there's an excellent async library for Python called Trio (based on a conceptually similar library Curio) that implements structured concurrency [1] and timeouts [2] really well. Things are obviously a bit different from the Rust world, partly because of garbage collection (i.e. references everywhere rather than the borrow checker) but even more so because of Python's liberal use of exceptions, which are a very natural way to handle cancellation (and one of Trio's innovations is the MultiError exception). But the library documentation [3] is still an interesting read even for a Rust developer interested in concurrency.

I lost interest in reddit and other social media when I saw how much attention it steals from my children. Even if I do it at night in bed it steals my energy from them. Same with Doomscolling. It takes time and energy and gives nothing in return.

Then I found a new hobby in HEMA sword fighting and gave the people in the club a real chance to get a little closer. Now with a fixed social life I feel much better. Also the time I spent there in the club and with the people in offline activities returns self esteem and health gains.

Last I have some rules. Never look at your phone while speaking with someone. Only one type of media consumption at once. Do something voluble while compiling (reading docs, write more tests, swing a sword)

Not mentioned in the Protocol article is that Angelina also has adult entertainment industry experience and expertise in Mia Khalifa. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from UC Berkeley (emphasis on Cum is in the CV).

Is it possible that some of the responses Angelina received were from pervy hiring managers, not hiring managers who only looked at the companies she claimed to have worked for?
> ... in return for not seeking punitive damages against Boeing, limiting the potential financial liability for the manufacturer

So I guess not and this is the reason why they made the deal.
This is great, thanks for sharing. So you think it's more hardware than software that is holding back progression?
I figured that the hardware for many applications robots could do is already there, both in terms of price and technical feasibility. For example, robot vacuuming, material handling, basic manipulation, some social interactions, delivery, etc.
But we still don't see them every day, leading me to think it is the cost of software development that is the main blocker.
But you make a great point. How much innovation could happen if anyone could play around with a robot in their spare time...
The % usage is not indicative of anything considering it will use as much CPU as possible to reach as high a frame rate as possible

Never realized this. And after a few minutes of tounge-hyperconscious trying, I think some of us need some serious retraining to physically pull that off.
Simply put: you don't. You'll have to design your own chip factories and design your own chips if you want to ensure that the SoC doesn't leak.

There's a reason China and Russia build their own CPUs. There's nothing else you can do to ensure that nothing leaks.

In practice, you could probably run the machine for a while hooked up to an ethernet cable and sniff the outgoing packets. I don't think the M1 will send Apple telemetry on its own (though it certainly could, if it wanted to).
Thank you for your reply. I think you raise some great points, and I'll respond to a few that I have knowledge of.

> But why do so many people want these monorepos?

Google-copying is part of it for sure. And I agree with your position - copying Google isn't a great reason on its own. Some more valid reasons: code which deploys together often wants to live together. Common dependencies can be easier to find (and use) if they're right there in the repo. Related, making cross-cutting changes can be easier when you can make an atomic change everywhere. Also, big repos often started out as small repos and then grew over time; the cost of a major change might outweigh the friction caused by keeping Git in place.

Consider also that we might not all be talking about the same thing. Some people (even here in this topic) consider Linux to be "large" and "a monorepo". Linux isn't notably big anymore, and it's not unusually challenging to host or to use locally. It's arguably a monorepo since it contains most of the code for the Linux kernel, but to me, "monorepo" implies needing special attention. So I probably wouldn't classify Linux as a monorepo for this discussion.

> I can't figure out why so many people are married to git but insist on leaning into its weaknesses

I'm sure there are many reasons. The common one I hear in my role boils down to, essentially, "Git is the de facto standard". That can be expressed in several ways: "it's harder to attract and retain engineers with an uncommon toolset"; "we want to focus on our core business, not on innovating in version control"; "all the other tools in our kit work with Git". (NB: I put those in scare quotes to distinguish that they aren't my or GitHub's position, they're things I've heard from others. They're not direct quotes, though.)

I talk with customers weekly who want to mash dozens of independent repos (Git or otherwise) together. If they aren't going to reap any of the benefits mentioned above or elsewhere in this topic, I strongly advise against it. At the end of the day, GitHub doesn't care if you have one giant monorepo or 1000 tiny ones; the product works pretty well for both. I suppose that's why I felt compelled to reply to your thread in particular -- yes, we're investing in monorepos, but no, it's not because we're trying to drive people to them.

My hunch is Acacia trees as a source of DMT, which are common in the region. Many mosques in particular are also decorated with colorful geometrical patterns all over. It's a bit of a mystery though, mushrooms have been pretty much ruled out, but Ancient Greeks speak of some sort of psychedelic wine, which is not much known about. Ergot from agriculture could be another suspect, but Ergot isn't exactly a great psychedelic by itself.
The worst is that the fees only cover the cost of running ISO the-organization: standard writers are not compensated by ISO for the work they put in.

My trick is to, for technical stuff, look for working groups and their mailing lists or other collaborative spaces, which are sometimes in the public, and get the latest working draft that they put out before it was turned into an official standard.

That's how I learned C in-depth in my high school days from the C9X (became C99 :)) draft standard.

Edit: clarify that ISO is not paying for the work being done on the standard, instead of that "writers usually do all the work for free".
