For the record, the Librem 5 has a 4500mAh battery (although the battery is rated at 4.35V while the phone uses only up to 4.2V, so the actual usable capacity is a bit lower).
Definitely both.

> But in making the plea, Ukraine exposed a problem with the West. In the 30 years since the fall of the Soviet Union — nearly my entire lifetime — liberalism has come to be taken for granted, the will to defend it withered. Three decades of not articulating what you stand for will do that.

This is not an accurate view of what actually happened. Once hostilities started, the US and EU quicky united against Russia in a way that has not existed since the early days of the cold war. (Early as in Berlin Airlift era.) There are multiple proofs of that unity ranging from supplying weapons to the Ukraine military to disconnecting Russia from Western economies.

There is not [yet] a hot war involving US/EU directly against Russia in Ukraine because Western leaders are justifiably worried about triggering a nuclear exchange. I don't believe it's a lack of will to defend the liberal order.
It might be fashionable to say that about Apple products etc., but using a macbook pro for 8 months now (long term user of Windows), I can say, Windows machine DOES actually just work MUCH more than macs. I can't even connect to an external 4K monitor to this stupid silver box without it completely throttling everything meaningful that I can do on it. On top of that there are so many stupid UI/UX decisions that it has taken that make no sense. I would want my company to at least allow people to work on Windows machine too, but they are so much invested in macs that they don't want to.

I think the logistics for battery swapping in bikes vs cars is completely different.

A battery in a car is a critical piece of mechanical equipment, that lowers CG, forms an important part of the stability calculations etc. As such, the fixtures that hold a car battery in place are much more rugged and designed so.

Making that a swappable design adds more weight to an already overweight car (for example, having a rugged frame casing that has a removable batter inside)
Be careful. There is a school of thought that equates this form of apathy or indifference to complicity with the greatest of societal evils.
I do not have a problem with a a product being implemented as Microservices if:

1. The Microservice platform itself is mature and stable. See: VMware Tanzu.
2. The devs implement traceability. See: CorrelationID
3. There is good cross-training between the Dev and SRE teams.

Actually. All 3 apply to Monoliths too.
Great book! It’s available online, for free at https://www.pbrt.org/.

You can also find older, physical editions on EBay for $10-$15.
what exactly goes wrong when these SD cards die in SBCs? does anyone have some idea? they are solid state gadgets after all, using low voltage.
Ah, I googled 'librem 5 battery life' and trusted a random review which said 3500 (https://www.techradar.com/reviews/librem-5) - probably should have found the official product page instead which very clearly says 4500 (https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/).

Deleted that part of my comment.
Most NDAs are perpetual.
Asking why they used what they did has always ended up in good explanations and less than expected defense of the tool/tech itself. Often it's just because it does the job and whoever used it knew it.

Often I've asked it because I privately thought "why didn't they use X?", but I'm seldom actually interested in hearing why they didn't.

> _Word has been feature complete since maybe the 2000 version_
I am not sure, say for example the browser / Office 365 release version of Microsoft Word was very useful, and I'm sure they had to make _many_ changes in the desktop Word too in order to sync everything with the online word. That's pretty important I would say and it works great. The requirement of 'Feature completeness' keeps changing with times.
Well, I have neither read through the entire 500 pages of tex.pdf[1] nor the 25k lines of tex.web[2], but I certainly have an impression of both.

> Having a good justification for misuse doesn't make it not misuse.

If there is a good justification for misuse, that would logically mean the original intent isn't applicable to real world scenarios -- which doesn't make the intent incorrect, but it does betray short-sightedness. To claim misuse strictly because it's outside of that extremely narrow original vision, is completely disregarding the actual logistics of front-end development.

The brief accurately describes Google training ("if you're discussing anything that might possibly be a sensitive issue, make sure to add an attorney to the thread and seek their advice"), as did the parent comment. I've never worked at any other big company but the whole thing did feel like a standard corporate practice.

In the long run, companies are just going to get more and more aggressive with their retention policies, so all this will be irrelevant.
> One other comment about why GPLing something is important for some like me - publishing my 'secrets' are a great way to turn them into "prior art" - you read it here first, you can't patent it now - I can protect my ideas from becoming part of someone else's protected IP by publishing it.

This is a great strategy!

> I spent a few years working on an x86 clone, I had maybe 10 (now expired) patents on how to get around stupidly obvious things that Intel had patented - (or around ways to get around ways to get around In tel that other's had patented) - frankly from a technical POV it was all a lot of BS, including my patents

It might be worthwhile to GPL implementations of those expired patents if they are at all likely to be useful. And perhaps then do a bit of procedural generation of various combinations of them for release under the GPL as well (because those would be newly patentable).

Prior art FTW!
That seems to be a simpler riff off of Lime Jello Salad, which is famous in the South. Off the top of my head, it's lime jello, mayo, PET (evaporated) milk, cream cheese, crushed pineapple (and the juice), and pecans. You'll find it at any potluck church or family event.

Because that was the most straightforward legal mechanism for achieving all kinds of desirable things like forming any sort of contract at all with a company as a whole rather than one of its employees or holding a company liable for damages resulting from actions of its employees.
Sometimes these sort of things aren’t as apparent in a picture compared to actually being there.
Wow, that really is a great piece. Thanks for sharing.
Your position is that your entire experience is not part of reality. Sure, you can define "reality" that way if you want, but it's obviously omitting something that exists, so it's not going to be a popular definition. And how can you base your moral/spiritual outlook on a view of reality that omits the central aspect of your world?

Or another say of saying the same thing: I dispute that there's nothing useful or actionable to be found in the mystery of consciousness, even if it's true that we can't hope to make any further headway in our scientific understanding of it (which I also think is false).

Which brings me back to my original point. Dennett's real issue is that he correctly senses that acknowledging this wonderful mystery of the mind is at odds with his physicalist, and somewhat nihilistic, view of the universe.

This is a great way of thinking about diversity. As a physics phd student myself I have observed this a lot -- that the students who put together a fantastic dissertation project are often not the ones who come in with a great transcript or who sound the smartest when asking questions in class. I see that other commenters are intent on misunderstanding this, which is a shame.

Edited to add: separate from the discussion about what this means for admitting students or hiring professors, another important part of this is on the education and mentorship side. A uniform academic (or workplace) culture that rewards people who fulfill a narrow conception of merit will exclude people who have a lot to contribute, but are made to feel uncomfortable in that culture and devalued in that conception of merit.
Is it a common thing for "proper" microservices to have microservices retrieve data from other services via APIs?

I've worked on "microservices" systems before that do this. They were mostly shit.

The system I'm working on at the moment has each service subscribe to events and maintain its own database. The only comms is via events. It works pretty well and everything really is nicely separated, but it feels a bit haphazard.

Plenty of Android phones already do this. The Pixel 4a 5G is an example of one, and the always on clock / information screen drains very little battery, while still being really nice.

It is baffling to me that Apple still hasn't implemented this feature even on their top end "Pro" iPhones... but this feature by itself isn't enough for me to switch to Android full time.
Interesting points. It is true high quality furniture can retain value.

I hope that if someone has a fixed budget, but can be confident they are finding the best prices, they will by definition buy higher quality goods.

We certainly could offer reasonable financing terms for these higher quality goods.

The New Filter Mandate Bill Is an Unmitigated Disaster
>other than high-performance military fighter jets

Recent, computer controlled jets, rather. Older jets were aerodynamically stable, probably because otherwise they would have been very fatiguing to fly. There are at least two well known instances of pilots ejecting from fighter jets that then recovered to normal flight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornfield_Bomber and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Belgium_MiG-23_crash

>On 4 July 1989, a pilotless MiG-23 jet fighter of the Soviet Air Forces crashed into a house in Kortrijk, Belgium, killing one person. The pilot had ejected over an hour earlier near Kołobrzeg, Poland, after experiencing technical problems, but the aircraft continued flying for around 900 km (600 mi) before running out of fuel and descending into the ground. [Where it killed a Belgian citizen on impact.]
One disadvantage is that this forces less technical users to learn about technical details of media, which itself can get very complex.

For example you seem to know your way with the solutions you propose, but I already see an issue, as in reality WebM is a format limited to VP8 and VP9, and cannot contain H.264 video.

But Chrome ignored this limitation and wrote a muxer that is actually able to store H.264 inside WebM files, thus going out of spec... which means different tools might have different degrees of support for those files.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=980822

Arguably, a former user of YouTube or Vimeo shouldn't have to learn about all this, and shouldn't have to end up reading bug reports such as that one (and this is just scratching the can of worms that is all the topic of codecs, encodings, containers, etc.)
I worked at a place that had a microservice for validations. You made a request with the item (singular) to be validated and the rule to validate it by. The most common validations were things like "is this value greater than 15" or "are these values equal".

Nobody else saw the problem here. Establishing a http connection, serializing a JSON document, deseralizing it on the other side, then doing "14 == 15" anyway before going back the way it came. Lighting up a hundred thousand lines of code vs one.

This was done as it iterated over large files, millions of items, millions of requests.

They were genuinely confused why it was slow.
This piece feels ... confused. It starts off with casually assuming that pricing mechanisms "just don't work" for a commodity, which sets a bad tone, but is forgivable if it can deliver. But then I got to this part[1]:

>What caused the price spike? The largest nickel producer in the world, a Chinese company called Tsingshan, was short nickel because it had made a huge capital investment and was set to produce 40% more nickel in 2022 than it had in 2021. ... But what if prices go up? Isn't a short dangerous? Not really if you're short nickel and you're a nickel producer. ... Your shorts are "covered" rather than "naked," so your losses are limited.

Okay, so far so good: Tsingshan took a short position, which was safe, because it's covered, by virtue of them being a producer of the underlying (nickel).

>They're limited, that is, so long as you can deliver nickel against the contracts. But what happens if ... closing your short is going to require you to deliver $10s of billions of nickel, and you're going to have to come up with $1s of billions immediately because of margin calls. You don't have that kind of cash on hand, and you can't deliver a huge chunk of your production up immediately against those short contracts.

So ... the shorts weren't actually covered, and you can expect to suffer huge losses if the price goes up. I still don't see the case for voiding the transactions, since the price movement was responding to real macroeconomic phenomena, and the short-seller couldn't actually cover.

Preach.

The biggest advantage won't be in equipment cost savings, either, but rather substantially increased workflow efficiency.
This article fails to mention anything about team size which should be the first criteria for any decision about "microservices" (in quotes because it's just new terminology someone made up because service-oriented architecture wasn't cool anymore and they had to prove how original and modern their thinking was). Half of the engineering orgs chasing this fad are <50 people and have absolutely no reason to be adding the overhead of an SOA. The rules of thumb should be if you have more than 1 service per 4 engineers it's too many; and if your total engineering org size is not big enough to support a dedicated infra team of >4 engineers working full-time on tools just to support the other teams then you're not big enough.

Over-complicating things to pad your resume might get you into FAANG but it won't make you a good engineer or a good entrepreneur. The sign of a truly senior engineer is one who knows how to keep things as simple as possible to solve real problems while maximizing power to weight ratio of their code. The resume-driven-development anti-pattern is pretending that the problems facing 1000 or 10000 person orgs are your problems. Those large companies got to where they are by solving the problems in front of them, and you won't get to that scale if you don't do the same.
That's you, but I have a "real" camera because I want higher quality photos. And it used to be that way

But when I compared my DSLR with my more modern cellphone - well, the colors were just nicer on the cellphone camera.

Just because the DSLR would have better software wouldn't force you to use it. If you want control do that, if you want incredibly high quality point-and-shoot photos, you can do that too.
True, the differential will reduce as we get even higher-amperage chargers and batteries w/higher C ratings.

Yet still, being able to get 40% in 3 minutes is still better. I'd also see little reason that a properly configured trunk couldn't hold a pair of 40% battery units. Kind of like carrying jerry-cans on the back of a rover, except you can just plug them in...

It also depends on what area they ride. It's pretty safe in my city, we ride under 50km/h in-city, and I never ride above 70km/h outside city. 20 years, zero crashes. However, some city is crazy, 70km/h is norm around city center. Not including driving fast sounds cool? (I think it's instead, lame, nothing else to show off)
> What is the difference between a reverse proxy and a load balancer?

Reverse proxy may or may not loadbalance requests. For example, in a sidecar configuration it can just terminate tls, provide telemetry, etc and forward everything to local port.
It's not full circle at all.

At no point has the status quo been:

> Here is service which provides any show you want for a reasonable one-time fee for watching that show.

Instead its:

> $200/mo for all cable channels. The show you want to watch is not playing tonight.

Or:

> Here are 7 different monthly subscriptions, each costs $15/mo. One of these services will have the program you want to watch, but good luck figuring out which one. Also 10% of what you want is not available on this "$105/mo multi-subscription", because it's an international cartoon.

What people want is what Netflix had before every Tom, Dick, and Harry decided to set up their own competing company (using their own IP as "exclusives"):

> Here's a $15/mo subscription, everything you could want to watch is here.

Netflix provided exactly that for long enough that people just stopped torrenting entirely. These days people would still settle for:

> Pay $1 for every TV show or Movie you want to watch. Paying the $1 lets you rewatch that episode infinite times until forever. This service contains every show you could possibly want to watch. There is a 4K HDR, lossless-compression mode for $1 extra...you should set aside some time before watching for that to download fully so that it doesn't buffer.
This is actually kind of funny. I would say go where it's more passionate for you, not where more status is.

I made this mistake. I was going to go to UTS and do computer science. I loved programming as a hobby since a teenager, and I loved the "highrise" skyscraper campus of UTS. But I also applied to Sydney for Science, when I got accepted into both, I think I chose the "prestige" and "classic campus" of Sydney, over doing what was really passionate for me.

I wouldn't say that much that I regret it, I make the most of it, you know? But I know that had I got to study what and where I wanted just for me, my path would have been a lot more direct (as I ended up going into CS later anyway, but without the degree for it).

Sydney was good, and I enjoyed it and got a lot out of it, but it wasn't really "me" as much as the other place was. I do regret it a bit actually. The people I would have met there (and ended up meeting some later through friends), the different life I would have had a focus on. I think I would have enjoyed it, actually, it was for me. I think I should have chosen the other one :)
