Not common and certainly changing in some ways but for example smoking had been deemed high risk. There are ways to model the risk here for at least some activities. Eg do you have a lot of speeding tickets? Car insurance goes up.
Modern debuggers are complicated. There’re good reasons to name all of these components “a debugger”. But I think the symbolic engine deserves the name “debugger” more than the GUI.

Note that in Windows, the GUI is the only piece missing from the default OS installation. The rest of the stack (DbgEng.dll, DbgHelp.dll, kernel calls, tracing, and more) is shipped with the OS.

> would you call gdbserver a debugger?

I’m not an expert on Linux. But based on this page https://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix_commands/gdbserver.htm probably not. I think it says that thing’s an IPC server which doesn’t do debugging on its own, doesn’t even need symbols, instead relies on the host to implement the actual debugger.
How can creativity and technology be harnessed for good?
580k per year is reasonable considering the value that one engineer can provide to a company that large.

also, I’ve heard that Netflix salaries in particular are higher than most other tech giants because they don’t offer any other benefits.
I've been using Apache Guacamole to have central access to KVM/bhyve-inside-a-container (or rather inside a zone) servers running on SmartOS.

However, I'm not using RDP at the moment as there is also VNC-access available as default that Guacamole connects to.

This looks awesome!

So, rather than proxying requests from some server, I can use their dynamic ip product to just auto-update the DNS entry for my home computers whenever my ISP changes my DNS.

I imagine there will be some small downtime every time my ISP switches (cached DNS / TTL etc...), but it should happen rarely ().

I'll also search for "dynamic DNS" and see if anything else comes up, but this looks like a really good solution, thanks for posting it.
The problem is that once you have that loophole in the ideals of free speech, people start calling everyone they disagree with "intolerant" in order to feel good about themselves while shutting down the speech of people who disagree with them.
Which case is that?
I'd be interested in reading a blog post where you dive into this process. It sounds like a really effective way to build certain kinds of apps. I'm also interested in your project. If you have an email list, I'd love to sign up.

What do you believe the original motivation was, if it wasn't money?
I accepted a diff offer because of rumors about not so great WLB.
I know all of the basic science behind this, but there exist old test reactors that can respond to loads quickly enough to act as peaker plants. Your information is either absolutely ancient or propaganda.
I'm (among other things) a Linux system engineer and an occasionally reluctant Linux plumber on my team. Debugging kernel panics / bluescreens is night and day between Linux and Windows.

I have a Windows gaming rig that I was getting BSODs on. It took about ten minutes to reconfigure Windows to write full crash dumps, get WinDbg set up, and determine where and what was crashing the system (bad display driver install - DDU and reinstall fixed it). There were plenty of guides as to how to get it set up and how to get it to pull Windows debugging symbols from the Internet. It was completely painless.

I have to keep a well-worn grimoire covered with notes and scribbles on how to get kdump working correctly to do the same sort of work on the Linux machines that I support - assuming that devops even set them up in the right configuration for kdump to work.
Once you get 200 or so miles from the East Coast you encounter the "Appalachian Mountains" which are mostly a set of dissected plateaus. It is a place where radio goes to die.

In my area there are ridges that are consistently about 2000 feet above sea level, and none of them stick up above the others. If you build a tower at a reasonable height on top of one it can sorta kinda see into the valleys on both sides and maybe VHF waves can propagate a little into the next valley.

The ridge on top might be roadless so you have to build a road, power lines, optic fiber, etc. You probably have to run at least 1/3 the length of optic fiber to serve the towers that you'd have to run to serve the roads.

Wireless base stations are crazy expensive and the cost is only justified by the astronomical cost of wireless plans (compared to how much bandwidth you actually get.)

Fiber optic has potential performance that is 1000s of times great than the alternatives and unlike DSL and Fixed Wireless it has the range to cover rural areas. Fixed Wireless vendors have a long history of coming into small towns like this

That's not my point. My point is by law Google must have secret and extremely challenging to audit processes for accessing user data, which can be abused for corporate espionage.
Oh this is very political. You just need to follow the money. Basically carbon offsetting is the notion of adding carbon to our atmosphere by continuing to e.g. burn coal or gas and by offsetting that with carbon capture.

The problem with that is that it is kind of expensive. To the point where it would be cheaper to simply stop burning stuff and maybe do something cleaner instead. By instead committing to lowering cost to 100$ per tonne, the US is basically announcing subsidizing the continued dumping of CO2 in our atmosphere by making it cheaper to green-wash that business with carbon offsetting. That is going to inevitably involve some creative bookkeeping. The net effect of that will be lots more carbon ending up in the atmosphere than actually captured. Courtesy of the US tax payer.

The best way to capture carbon is to leave it in the ground.
There is an advantage for society as a whole, but for the person running a single DAC machine the advantage is neglegible. (Which is kinda the inverse why climate mitigation is so hard to begin with - avoiding emissions doesn't give the person doing so a lot of advantage.)
That would imply a worker shortage that would have been augmented with immigration.

Unless the glaciers are being operated in secret, couldn't we just calculate their emissions and not count them against that country?
I agree with you. I think it is perfectly healthy to criticize companies and even boycott their products if we don't share their values. This is what I referred to by "controlling the market". Unfortunately this has historically provided very little results imo.

What I was referring to is the expectation that this criticism can make the difference; I don't think it can, for mostly one single reason: if you happen to make progress and magically turn 99% of the people running companies ethical, you have created a huge incentive for being evil. Someone acting unethical will reap the benefit without competitor.

I tend to see these dynamics as balances and movement from balances when something changes. I think changing laws changes the balance point and after a shake, the system will settle somewhere else. Trying to persuade managers to be ethical it's just a fight against the balance that you will eventually lose.
Given that the currently available vaccines are all non-sterilising (do not prevent infection and transmission), it is difficult to see this as a measure aimed at controlling transmission.

It is terrifying to me that a government is confining healthy people to their homes for refusing a treatment that they (rightly or wrongly) believe is not in their best interests.

Of course, recorded cases are likely to fall naturally at some point. If the fall is coincident with the introduction of this rule, we can expect the same across the West.
Would you please share which sensor and which open source tech you use?
This is awful. It completely ignores the economics of leveraging commodity services and re-usable skills while ignoring the true places where you can get maximal value if you are willing to accept vendor lock in - the high level services.

This is more or less the equivalent of mandating that everyone use VMS once UNIX started to commodify, or use Windows for all of your servers once Linux has taken over the market. Using EKS + Fargate instead of ECS + fargate provides no savings over EKS, All it serves to do is to lock you into a single hyper-scaler infrastructure, at the same time as K8s is forcing he cloud vendors into commoditization.

Want to use AWS effectively? Depend on high level services like Glue, Athena, Kinesis Firehose, Sagemaker. Want to piss away any chance to run your business effectively? Leverage ECS.

If you are a one-man shop, and you know ECS or are willing to depend on underbaked solutions because they solve a problem, more power to you. I suspect that you may benefit over your career by investing in more universal skill sets (alternative, you may benefit from hyper-specializing on AWS toolsets as well(.
I'm not sure what you're asking. The browser is not an OS, so the websites are not supposed to form a system. People using Microsoft's default browser is yet more evidence that people generally stick with the OS defaults, because they are supposed to work.
If it needs to be FAANG level to attract the workers you need, then it needs to be FAANG level. I do not see why there would be any arbitrary limit.

I remember when healthcare.gov was launched and the clusterfuck it was, and then a much of FAANG level employees had to quickly go and clean it up as charity.
Why not? It’s fun.
In the US, isn't this the case for a long time now? I thought the consolidation towards bigger and bigger farms is the trend for a few decades now.

It's hard to think of something amazing from Google that they didn't acquire other than the search engine. Maps, YouTube, Android were all acquisitions. Most Google internal projects are future entries in the "Google graveyard". The better stuff I can think of is mostly deep technical stuff like Map Reduce built to support search. Facebook has also done fairly well with things that are pillars to support the (formerly) namesake product.
As other commenters pointed out, the other trickiest problem (beyond feasibility and energy requirement) of CO2 removal is that it's not clear who would be paying for them, since you want to sequester the CO2 and not use it. So in the end, it will be either a voluntary deal, or paid by the taxpayers as part of the maintenance of the infrastructure that is earth. Do people make money out of road and bridge maintenance ?

At some point, you might argue that planting trees can make you more money if something edible grows on them (or under them)

3D printing is inherently a solution to low-volume problems (e.g. prototyping, or specialized parts for niche industries). Once the desired number of units grows, it is always better to instead build a dedicated production line. So, this recent push for 3D printing houses is a bit counter productive, we need to produce large number of houses, so factories are the way to go.

Seems to me that everything becomes much easier if we just get fusion right. Carbon removal would be cheap at that point, correct?

I’d like to see governments band together and offer up a $1 trillion prize for whomever comes up with a scalable fusion power plant, which would then be released to the public domain.
It's strange from an environmental "culture" standpoint (the treehugger epithet, "save the trees"), but to truly get a good carbon sink out of planted forests you then need to cut them down, bury them, and plant more ones.

Which is basically what happens if we use wood for all our housing and as many consumer products as possible and chuck them in a landfill.

But yes, lies, damn lies, and accounting is definitely a danger to any environmental regulation. It has been for decades, all the industry players know how to game the system:

- no real penalties

- insiders in the regulatory offices

- hide large amounts of pollution from inspectors

- accumulate penalties and lawsuits? Start new corp, transfer assets, declare bankruptcy for the old corporation

- industry-wide penalties? Offload that back to the government (that is, society) with lobbying and rescue funds and other business subsidies

Oh god, EAP are the worst most useless benefits. Good luck trying to use them. The free therapy sessions offered were unbookable. Only a handful of providers, who had no availability. When I found one after months of trying, they ghosted me for our virtual visit.

I was suffering horrible from anxiety and panic attacks and that honestly made things worse. I felt relieved to be able to talk about it and then got the rug pulled right out from under me.

It’s that simple. If you need extensions into the AWS infrastructure, check out their CRD extensions that allow you to provision all of the infrastructure using K8s.

That's mixing up data sets. The "unvaccinated" of today (dominated by those who have refused the vaccine) aren't the same population of last April (people without access to a vaccine they want), to which you belonged.

The latter were wearing their masks and being cautious. The former clearly aren't. While they're both "unvaccinated" they don't have the same behavior here.
Why don't they just call it head of sales? Since, you know, that's what it is.

The US could halve their emissions and still emit at the same level of an industrialized country like France. A good starting point is to invest more in nuclear energy.

Algorithms in a nutshell by George T. Heineman helped me a lot. It's not too dense so it's easy to read, just enough to learn and understand how an algorithm works.
> It's probably still cheaper to avoid emitting the CO2 in the first place, but that does put an upper bound on the cost of reaching net zero.

It seems hard to believe that removing CO2 from the atmosphere could ever be less expensive than not emitting it to begin with. You're working against thermodynamics.

So the whole thing seems like a fraud. An excuse to keep emitting CO2 while claiming that you'll do something about it "tomorrow."
Reminds me of Logo as well (I worked for the top producer of Logo implementations). Would be interesting to read some comment on its lineage from the designers.
I did this over three Christmas holidays, with the hardware I had available each time — Windows, Linux and Mac. The results are pretty much the same.

Is there a lossless format that's smaller than the original DV? The 1.5TB I have is still annoying to handle.
I imagine some people who don't want to work at a FAANG still apply to leverage that offer somewhere else. It helps a lot in salary negotiations to be able to say "Facebook offered me $X, but I like you guys more, so how about we try to find a way to make that work"

Please avoid such hostility, open source is a team sport and we are all on the same team, even projects that do things in ways that may be not immediately useful to you or I. That kind of hostility is what leads to open source people burning out.

I am not sure why you think they don't have a "share-it-back" mentality or why you would wish any project failure. They use mostly the same set of open source licenses as KDE.
I wanted to write OS, and couldn’t edit it later on :/

My point was that windows is the most popular OS despite it having a ridiculous amount of “native” looks. So linux not having one is not the reason for its less than ideal desktop uptake.
I completely agree. People fondly remember XP, but Windows 2000 was peak Windows. It almost looks like a real operating system :)

One suggestion - as DV is an interlaced format, conversion to AVC/HEVC should perform a double-framerate deinterlace. ffmpeg supports yadif, which handles this quite well, pass it mode=send_field (for "output one frame per field) and parity=bff (as DV, whether PAL or NTSC, is always bottom field first). As all frames should usually be considered interlaced, the deint parameter (which can deinterlace only marked-as-interlaced frames) can be omitted.

I see people converting SD video all the time and dropping half the fields because "well, it says 29.97fps!". The only time this is not an issue with DV is if the tape was recorded with a camera that has either a progressive 30fps or 24fps setting enabled.

Edit: Wow, I don't know how to read. I see the author already did this. I'm just so used to people getting it wrong that I overlooked the fact that you got it right. I'll leave this here to take my karma lumps lol

That's the first time I see Dijkstra's name written "Edgar" instead of "Edsger", though it's also written that way (superimposed on the original paper - but not in the original paper) in the PDF.

This is especially strange since the link points to a web page at the dutch "Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica" (cwi). So is this just a typo?

If you have the desire to understand the individual components of running infrastructure for docker containers I'd suggest the full hashicorp stack.

Running nomad, vault, consul together isn't difficult, and will get you a better understanding how to deploy 12 factor apps with good secret storage and service discovery.

Add in Traefik for routing and you've got an equivalent stack to k8s, but you can actually understand what each piece is doing and scale each component as needed.

If you're going to run this all on AWS you can stick to just EC2 and not have to drown in documentation for each new abstraction AWS launches.

As an added bonus nomad can run far more things than just containers, so you have an on-ramp for your legacy apps.
