Sure. So I do agree that kubernetes was developed to solve GCP market share issue. I do not think that anybody think otherwise. I just not sure why this is a bad thing. I.e. why do you care why kubernetes was developed, vs the actual merit of the product.

2. When I refer to community first, I mean that the product was rushed to market, half baked, and than was iterated in the market. I think that Google worked with redhat on the initial API (I.e. deployment object came from redhat)

Regarding AWS, AWS does not have 5% of the global IT market, of course it have 40% of the global cloud market, but not the IT market. Also, the usage of AWS or any other cloud for that matter, is very skewed, I.e. 63% percent of the customer have one S3 bucket, or one EC2 node.

My point about open stack is reflecting your point about VMWARE / IBM. I.e. kubernetes will end up maintained by companies that sell multi cloud/on prem solution.

Overall, I believe that kubernetes is the only way the IT world can decrease the power of the big 3 cloud providers(I cannot see any other option at this scale), hence usage should be encouraged.
I recently watched The Godfather 1 and 2 for the first time as an adult and was floored by the two movies (really a single movie, broken into two parts). A complete tragedy executed to perfection. The full arc of the tragic downfall of a man, like something out of the Greek tragedies or Shakespeare.

I then made the horrible mistake of watching Godfather 3, which basically seemed to have 90s romantic comedy vibe with Al Pacino not playing Michael Coreleone but simply playing Al Pacino. What then surprised me even more was that the film received pretty favorable reviews at the time. Wow how we can be blinded in the moment!

I would very much hope that Mr. Coppola achieves something grand, especially in the current era of horrible movies, but color me skeptical based upon his later work. I could understand if executives are wary as well.

On a side note, since you mentioned him, Mallick’s recent A Hidden Life is an absolute masterpiece. It may be my favorite movie (need time for it to sink in). But what a powerful depiction of conscience & struggle. One thing I often wonder about: who is the main character, the man or his wife? Whose Hidden Life is really the subject of the movie?
Virological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 BA2 variant: more pathogenic than BA1
I think amount of people who are capable of and willing to do software development is limited. Most "normal" people I know would hate the job.
How is not touching a programming language until college a bad thing? Some people just want to make a living out of software engineering and then go home and they aren't sweating over Web 4.0 or whatever we are on now.
Lawyers and Doctors have

1) Very stringent standards, particularly in Medicine

2) Doctors guilds control how many people get medical education

3) It's often 'nationally dependent' wherein skills are not always transferrable.

'Software Developer' can mean anything which has advantages and drawbacks.

I for one, wish there were some kind of 'basic general certification' frankly. There are so many 'not very good devs' I would like to just completely ignore people with out some basic qualifications.

The 'exams' might even require us to 'fill in some blanks' in our education because all of us have blind-spots!

It might be hard to do something like that from an examination level though.
This is an incredibly wrong understanding of Russian history.

There are in fact mountains going North-South threw Russia and apparently they didn't stop there.

And of course like any huge country it does not have uniform culture.
The problem is, at the end of the day, business logic needs to get encoded in the program. So all the abstractions cant abstract away the domain specific "if else" statements. Infrastructure itself will be a solved problem, and we will implement interfaces like serverless lambas, but it still remains, the logic of the business needs to go in the code. OOP itself is meant for building relationships between sets of business logic, and coding that, as has been discussed, always ends in complexity and needs thought
H-1 is a good point. Where are the H-1 lawyers and doctors?
all of those are genuine needs
Breaking instructions into 3 bit groups is awfully convenient (and you find it elsewhere, e.g. in portions of the THUMB encoding).

Datapoint did it consistently. And in a way that aligns with octal encoding. And then used octal in their documentation.

In turn, their instruction set basically became the 8008's, which influenced the 8080 and then 8086/8088. In turn, we still have this structure in x86 today: the instructions are prettily readable in octal.
When will they become more technical though? My kids are far less technical than I was, and their friends as well. Try as I might, they simply aren’t interested. Is some other part of the population experiencing some kind of technical advancement amongst their kids? I don’t see it.
There is a different old science fiction story, from 1951, where a sociopathic con artist from the present day is put in suspended animation and revived in a future that's mostly "idiocracy" with some genius overlords that don't know what to do about all the idiots.

The guy from the past, who is familiar with 20th century dictators' methods, gets them to set up a program to brainwash the masses into emigration to Venus, and then they build fake spacecraft that don't go very far but the passengers don't return, and they send letters home saying everything is great (inspired by the Nazis sending fake letters from euthanasia victims).

The end is when he thinks he's on top of the world and essentially world dictator, but the people that he was advising politely force him onto one of the "spaceships" because his job "thinking outside the box" is finished and they have no more use for him.
This is good enough to play around with on the cheap, but I don't think it holds a candle to dedicated devices. It's all I have right now, but I'm planning to upgrade soon.

I don't understand - what are they currently doing if not rendering in post-production?
Unless you've raised a ton of money, I see no way that a new company can compete at these prices. With one decent engineer going for $160k all in, there's no way to do that if you're bootstrapping.
The source for power per GB links to a paper published in 2012 [0] that describes how they arrived at 5.12kWh per GB. Maybe things have gotten more efficient in the last decade?

Note that the power figure includes all of the networking equipment between your desktop and the server, and the infrastructure required to run it like cooling equipment. Also note that watching a video at 2x speed may result in the server sending less data than watching a video at 1x speed.

Of course you'd think that, there's even a famous book called "Javascript, The good parts".
I think some of the whiplash in the market isn't just the tit for tat battle with ad blockers and regulators but the realization that there's so much useless data being collected. The best data we get is first party (ie things people click or type into forms on our sites) or qualitative feedback from surveys. GA and GTM are valuable tools for us but Google's network isn't really.
> There will be a plethora of programmer jobs for some times go come, but we've also gone quite a while without a meaningful market adjustment, if you will

We just went through a massive market adjustment. COVID forced a lot of layoffs and hiring freezes in March 2020 (even in tech) and all the COVID-boom stocks like Zoom, Peloton, etc. have all crashed 50%+. Valuations in private funding are being cut as we speak due to interest rate changes. But salaries for senior engineers have only gone up.

You might need to deploy a single executable rather than multiple.
Plenty of viruses use DNA and not RNA. The virus injects it's DNA sequence into the host DNA.

This is why people have "flare ups" of herpes/cold sores. That is a DNA virus, so once the cells are infected they carry that DNA sequence forever, even after the cells divide.
I'm sure it's nice, but adding another dependency to save some keystrokes in an edge case --- no thanks. If I want lots of partial application I'll use Haskell.

I saw that exact sort of thing happen numerous times. Teachers who habitually pick nemesis students year after year, to single out for uniquely harsh punishment and public derision. From what I've seen myself and heard from others, it's a serious and widespread problem, and has been for generations.

How can this be solved though? I earnestly don't know. 'More funding' is the usual silver bullet solution for anything wrong with education, but would more funding actually fix this specific problem? Teachers who habitually do this to kids have something wrong in their head, paying them more money won't improve their behavior. You have to get rid of those teachers. But how do you do that? Getting rid of public school teachers for anything less than criminal misbehavior is very difficult; teachers unions can drag it out for years, and that's even assuming the administration is motivated to do something. Often, that's not the case. This sort of abusive behavior doesn't necessarily leave behind a paper trail to investigate, resulting in a he-said-she-said mess of allegations that are very difficult to untangle and much easier to ignore. Even if everything was recorded, it's still easier for the administration to ignore the problem than to address it; that's their path of least resistance. If you took the teachers union out of the picture, that wouldn't solve the problem because the administrations could still choose to ignore the problem. And of course, cutting funding to the schools doesn't fix this problem either. That only makes conditions shittier for everybody, it doesn't get rid of problem teachers.
Precisely! We cannot understand what consciousness is until we gain complete understanding of the human brain. Until that, we will have no AGI. Given the sheer complexity of the task, unlikely it will happen in this century.
So you actually quoted the part where it mentions improving their cups... And then you seem to have completely ignored it in your own commentary. Redesigning the cups with more rigid foam (and the plastic lid lip IIRC) was a pretty big deal at the time, and it made a significant impact on the possibility of spilling.

But the bigger problem is that you're still ignoring that your mind has been captured by the propaganda that demonized this woman as a greedy opportunist, and cast our tort system as a lottery for lazy, evil people to enrich themselves at the expense of honest hard-working businesses.

The woman asked that McDonald's pay her medical damages, only... And those damages were extensive... Can you even imagine how much surgery is required to treat 3rd degree burns to the genitals? Major skin grafts, permanent horrific scarring. You'd never regain full sensation again, and it's likely you'd never fully function sexually afterwards.

The jury decided to award massive punitive damages, in large part because they felt that McDonald's conduct after the injury was so shocking that they felt compelled to send an equally attention-getting message to the corporate executives who had treated this woman with such callous inhumanity.

And the punitive damages were reduced on appeal, anyway, which shows that the tort system does work. McDonald's paid their lawyers more than they paid the defendant... And they would have only paid a tiny fraction of that amount, if only they had evolved a bit of conscience at the beginning.
'Don't be a criminal' is trite. Something being criminal doesn't mean it's wrong to do. If you're saying not to do something specific then specify.
And why is that do you think? Is it inherently better, or is it only temporarily better? Have the social creeps, corrupt bastards and rapacious motherf*ckers arrived yet, or are they next year's customers? Because, I can guarantee you right now, unless someone's developed some kind of psych-AI to filter out those folks, there is NO WAY, your utopian VR world will stay "better than" the real world (assuming it even is "better than" in its most ideal form).

I have a belief - you can call it "phs318u's law" - There is no system, no structure, no belief, and no technology that can solve for the worst of humankind. Period. Eventually, bad humans > everything else. Kind of like a social entropy - its a one way journey.
Just a terminology nit in the article: this isn't really exploiting anything. Exploitation means breaking intended security, but there is no security here; obviously this device was not designed to attempt to stop you from tinkering with eMMC directly. Hacking is the more general term for what this is :-)

Cable modems in general don't seem to really make much of an attempt at physical-access security, even though they rely on being "secure from the owner" to enforce ISP bandwidth limits. Back when I was on cable, my cable router didn't have an official bridge mode, but there was a way to get telnet by uncommenting a hidden settings field in the HTML (lol) and then you could use an undocumented command to enable it. Later, the ISP broke this in an update, possibly inadvertently: bridge mode was still there, but enabling it caused some process to crashloop and destroyed performance. I got tired of that nonsense, found an old firmware image, and directly flashed it to the SPI flash chip on the board (except I left the version metadata as the higher one, so it wouldn't try to update itself again). Worked fine until I moved out of that place and stopped using cable. The DOCSIS cert and private key were right there in the flash too, I'm pretty sure I still have a backup somewhere.
The general population isn't becoming more technical though, as an example almost everybody drives cars but most people aren't mechanics. People see cars and tech as a means to an end, which is perfectly fine for me. They just want to get their job done.
I wouldn't be surprised if much of the popular reporting on it are just press releases.
It has bad discoverability because of its placement. I am sure placing it on top would seemingly be an obvious resolution here but looking at the age of HN, I feel @dang must have had some reasons for it to not be on top already.
Forgive my ignorance, but could you explain a bit more why frequency scaling needs to be disabled at kernel compile time, and can't be disabled at runtime via sysctl?
So in other words you allow some of the largest, worst sites to track you. ;)
That would be better, but I think they've done about as well as they could while still convincing management that it is an ad.
> Much of the demand for programmers right now stems more from expectations of future profits than from profits being currently made.

That's a big assumption to make.
> A video game and public speaking seem like really weird/unusual examples.

I thought they were great examples because most people are familiar with both. Dan's not wrong: most people don't improve because they don't invest in getting better, and often getting better is easy to do. Incidentally, I watched one of my kids do this with Overwatch. She started watching the replays and seeing what she did wrong, and then that turned into what is that player doing right. Two weeks later top 50%.
I have the original HTC Vive, It's been great! Hardware wise it's right around the quest 2, maybe slightly better. After a few years of heavy use the controller trackpads started breaking down and I thought I would have to buy new ones. But if you search online you find it's a common problem and possible to fix.

Taking the controllers apart feels exactly like dissembling laptops if you've ever done that. Even the screws are similar. Anyway I have to do that like once every 6 months now but other than that it's still good. I'm about due for an upgrade and debating getting an Index now or waiting to see if headset comes out around the 1-3k Price point this year.

There are other HTC headsets. The Vive Pro and the Vive Cosmos both came out after the original Vive but it sounds like the Pro isn't quite as good as the Index and the Cosmos is just outright bad. It would be great to see HTC to release something to beat the Index.

There is also the HP Reverb G2 at $500. I don't know as much about this one but I've heard the video quality is similar to the Index but with worse tracking.
Just block Google tag manager itself. Gets two birds stoned at the same time.
Actually AI will catch up to doctors and lawyers much faster than to programmers.

In addition, programmers have many more domains that they can switch into, however, once the AI lawyer or AI doctor will rise, it would practically replace 90% of the lawyers/doctors.

> Uncle Bob is an idiot for making this statement. Taken at face value, just where is the data for the function to operate on come from? With no parameters, it must come from data at an outer scope, usually a global, which is a bad idea. Within the context of the language Uncle Bob is blathering about, Java, each "function" has an implicit argument, which is the object itself. So even if Uncle Bob wanted a zero-argument function in Java, he's not getting one. The arguments are still coming from an outer scope.

You're kind of making the author's point for them here. The entire premise of OO languages is to colocate functionality with the structure of the relevant data for that functionality.

If you write a function which takes zero arguments attached to the class Integer (perhaps toString), it does in fact have zero arguments. This makes it simpler to reason about in the context (key word from the point the author was making) of Java. In that context, it is self-evident that any method attached to a class that takes zero arguments is operating entirely on either the data within the class or static data available system-wide.

The idea you're presenting is mostly pedantry and you've confused function arguments with data accessible to a function.
Exactly, this is real progress, we are automating whole swaths of our business sector and it’s making us way more productive and profitable
I don't think the Quest 2 has any decent competition on price and capability. Unless you want to consider a wired setup for some reason, take Meta's incredibly subsidized headset and have fun!
Movie theatres in the Netflix era need spectacular and bombastic films in order to draw a crowd. The kind of stuff that doesn't translate well on a 55 inch TV.
No, you only need the cooperation of many banana-holders collectively pooling their resources. In fact, that’s how it usually happens.
This approach is extremely dangerous. It's baffling to me that it could be seriously considered after No Child Left Behind.

One key variable that needs to be addressed in evaluating school performance is variation in the quality of the students. Some kids are more capable and more driven than others for reasons part cultural and part genetic, and the perceived quality of a school will reflect that of its students. The effects of teachers and administration are not that substantial as long as basic requirements (food/shelter/safety) are met.

Though this notion is distasteful to some, it must be addressed because otherwise, schools and teachers are going to be put on the hook for conditions that are simply outside their control.
Phased locked loops are conscious. Whatever their goal, they constantly compare their actions with the external world, and constantly adapt their behavior. They are clearly self-aware and have complete OODA loop. Though some are simple organisms with only a few components; others implemented software are much more complex; perhaps, they even dream.
Perhaps eventually developers will organize one.
Feedback: I would like to start with a simpler game, where the top left shape is given, and the challenge is to find its mate among the other 5.

There really isn't anything for you yet, just a lot of bad solutions that don't work very well. You might want to wait for Apple's rumored VR system coming out soon, but that assumes that (a) its actually a reliable rumor and (b) you don't hate Apple as much as Facebook.
That's why we need generic legislation without consideration of specific technologies, restricting the general goals, not just one particular way to achieve them. GDPR would forbid this tracking without opt-in consent - the fact that you have the technical ability to effectively handle tracking information server-side without support from the user/browser (as for cookies) does not imply that you have the right to do so.

We don't have to win a technical fight, we have to ensure that privacy-invasive tracking is not profitable because all the major legitimate megacorp advertisers throwing billions at internet ads are prohibited from using that.
How would you do that? Isn't it the server that talks to Google Tag Manager, not the browser?
They already realized it over twenty years ago when they hired the developer of the iNES format for Animal Crossing.

More interesting is that reaching the 99.99th percentile is very difficult, and yet completely unremarkable. I love David Foster Wallace’s essay on this subject: “ Tennis Player Michael Joyce's Professional Artistry as a Paradigm of Certain Stuff about Choice, Freedom, Discipline, Joy, Grotesquerie, and Human Completeness.” He follows a top 200 and is impressed by how absolutely amazing he is at tennis, but ultimately knows the player will know neither fame nor fortune.
So I bought Borderlands 3 the other day. It's about 130GB in size. At 5.12kWh per GB and UK energy prices of £0.28/KWh (keeping in mind the gas shortage), that implies downloading the game costs 5.121300.28 = £186. Per download. For a game that cost like £10 on sale.

I'm not sure that adds up.
String theory is falsifiable, just it requires so much energy that we cannot operate with in any foreseeable future.

In that vein you have to also prosecute alcohol distilleries, tobacco companies, fast food companies, casinos, lotto companies, ice cream makers, and any other company that makes something that people struggle to control their own consumption. And we do, that's why we have government. At least you have a recourse when these companies operate within the law.
