Curiously, this doesn't include the most common reasons I've seen:

1. Because we our engineers don't know X, and we wouldn't be able hire people who already know X.

2. Because we are already invested in Y, and the benefits of X are nebulous and speculative, or can't be connected clearly to business outcomes.

In essence, both of these come down to a matter of organizational inertia, but that inertia can either be good or bad.

A lot of times, organizations don't really have a process to proactively evaluate technology, and the process for making technology changes is ad-hoc. Even when there is a clear need to make a change, it's not clear who all the stakeholders are or who makes the final decision.

Ideally this is something that should be sponsored by senior technical leaders (CTO, VPE, etc) but the decisions should be made by your most senior, boots-on-the-ground technologists.

(Or you can just individuals/teams to use whatever tech they want, with thr understanding that they have to be good citizens with regards to maintenance, documentation, tooling, etc.)
Find a problem. Develop a solution. Sell the solution.

If you have a good solution or a good product, people will pay. There’s always a problem to be solved.
From my limited understanding, the rate you can get charge into a battery is proportional to its capacity. You see this in the size normalised charge rating that batteries have, like 1C means it takes 1 hour to charge and 4C means it takes 15 minutes. Adding more batteries in parallel is much the same.
It’s the same as any kind of theft really. You probably get away with it to start but eventually the loss becomes great enough that the company pays attention and starts tracking it down. And if you have been doing this on a large scale you could be looking at serious criminal theft.
About as long as it would take for Gogoro to put a camera on their battery kiosks.
The only question is why hasn’t the USA done the same thing? Twitter allows AOC to call the republican party terrorists, but they banned The Babylon Bee for calling Rachel Levine a man (he’s literally a biological man). They are extremist, probably terroristic organizations. Reuters said Facebook let’s people call for the death of Russians now, the first time Facebook has ever allowed calls for violence. It’s inconsistent, disgusting and one sided. With the power and influence these companies have, I think all countries should move toward labelling them as such and ban them. They’re monopolies and just such nasty companies. People are tired of their disgusting politics and anti trust lawsuits aren’t enough to make change.
The article is about animal CMVs, not human CMV.

"Nuismer and Redwood both say it is highly unlikely that a CMV-based vaccine could ever jump species given the virus’s biology. Although the evolutionary factors underlying CMV’s species-specificity are not entirely known, there has never been a documented case in the wild or in a laboratory of a successful cross-species CMV infection."
Haha, yeah exactly this is a my problem. How to find the problem :)
I grew up using unix where the philosophy is "do one thing and do it well" and I think that carries over well into microservices.

But honestly I'm not sure there is much of a line between the two. I've seen microservices that just return True/False and ones that return 100 lines of json, which are arguably more web-services than microservices.

I honestly think it's a distinction without meaning.
> You are not entitled to any movies or television shows at any quality at all because it's not your IP.

That's not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_science_and_culture and https://cultureactioneurope.org/files/2015/02/2015UNESCO--Co...

Some examples from the PDF:

> Disability advocates have long expressed concern that copyright law can impede the adaptation of works into formats functional for people with disabilities when copyright holders fail to publish works in accessible formats, such as Braille, or allow others to do so. To resolve that problem, many countries have adopted copyright exceptions and limitations allowing authorized not-for-profit organizations to produce and distribute accessible works to persons with disabilities.

> Problems of translation and linguistic barriers likewise are of concern for speakers of non-dominant languages. Copyright regimes are formally neutral regarding the language of a work. In practice, however, the results are widely disparate, as copyright protection offers little financial incentive to write and publish in most of the world’s languages. People able to speak English, French or Spanish can select reading material from millions of books; however, those unable to speak a globally used language may enjoy access to very few. The vastly unequal distribution of published literary works across languages poses a significant barrier to the right to take part in cultural life for linguistic communities not offering a major publishing market. The issue is not limited to reading for pleasure; that also impacts the ability to pursue education and knowledge, take part in debates on social and political issues and earn a livelihood as a writer.
I think this is a really warped view of VC funding who sorta kinda in a passing sense care about the tech stack but where the focus is almost entirely on the business side. I was at a company that bought a tiny little (originally) VC funded shop that actually was maybe 1K lines of PHP total. The secret sauce was they found a desperately underserved market that just needed something to collect and organize data between unconnected parties that took hours to do manually. Damn thing sold itself because it cost nothing to run, had essentially no maintenance costs, and made their users about 10k/user/mo from the hours it bought them back.
Have you lived in a multifamily building in a city? Or even in a single-family home with only street parking? It’s not like we all have a garage at home to park and charge a vehicle. Some do, but I would estimate the vast majority in my city do not.

I’m not saying we need in-street contraptions like GP described, but “just charge at home” doesn’t cut it for a lot of people.

I like the kiosks mentioned in the article, those seem pretty convenient for city-dwellers.
Don't forget when DVDs shipped with ads that your DVD player wouldn't let you skip.
Batteries have "C" rating which is how many times you can charge or discharge them in an hour. This magic number is closely linked to battery chemistry. A "6C" battery can be charged in 10 minutes as long as you have the power, while a 10C battery can charge in 6 minutes.
You're right that sometimes charging speed is limited by the available power. Don't expect to fast charge a 130kWh Tesla at a 45kW charger or charge a 100Wh laptop on a 18W cellphone charger.
In the case of these scooter batteries, you are mostly limited by the batteries C rating. Even if you watercooled them to stay at a happy temperature, you can only push the chemistry so much.

Maybe if they switched to a different chemistry like Lithium Titanate they could chaemrge quicker. For now it is easier to use LiFePo batteries and just swap them out.
Samba 4.16 Released for Improving Windows File/Print Server Interoperability
Viewers don't install anything. That would be the content creator here because the question is "as a content creator who wants to self host, what can I use?", but that could also be someone the content creator knows, or someone providing a PeerTube instance for content creators.

PeerTube is a piece of open source software meant to build a YouTube-like platform, with optional federation (and P2P to allow servers to offload some bandwidth to viewers, but I don't know how well this works in practice with the widespread asymmetrical or mobile internet connections). It is not for the viewer to install.
As the parent says, arguments like these are always a scheme to lock customers into proprietary standards. It's frustrating that companies still think they can get away with this.
I maybe didn't phrase it well, but I'm talking about companies that make just enough money to sustain themselves but never quite grow nor go out of business. (I founded one and it wasn't very much fun. We eventually killed it, but it was never unprofitable). Anyhow it seems like floatplane hasn't made much of an impact - it's not huge like Youtube or growing massively - so does it have long term prospects?
> Likewise, the current bout of inflation operated as a propaganda for my friend’s landlord. And this isn’t the only sector where increased attention on inflation may be enabling further inflationary price increases.

I have seen in countless areas of the economy the prices only jumped up AFTER it was news.
If building codes took externalities into account, housing prices would go down.

Boarding houses filled a need, but modern safety codes say every bedroom needs a window. I bet people would rather have a roof over their heads, without a window, than sleep outdoors.

Want to do work on your house in Seattle? Touch the roofline and you'll need obscene amounts of rework and basically a band new roof. There is a serious shortage of space, so let's make increasing the # of bedrooms in the city as expensive as possible!

We need regulation, but regulations need to be created balancing out real world needs.
Honestly my first thought upon seeing the name Julius Caesar is always to think of the English cricketer of the 1800s[0]. I suspect this places me in a minority of one.

New? Are you sure?

React is about a decade old.

Microservices is between two and seven decades old, depending on your definition.

None of this stuff is new.
What is V=f(s) ?
Whether you build microservices or just services, distributed systems are undeniably here to stay. In today’s world there are very few products that can run on a single machine, whether it is for latency or availability or redundancy.

That said, the challenges of building such systems are real, and the developer experience is universally quite awful compared to our monolithic, single-server past.

It’s for that reason that I’ve been building [1] for the past four years. Would love your feedback if the OP resonates with you.

I'm not a medic but it would seem rational to me that if viruses spread from one person to another then when people are close together in a group in a room for longer periods of time and the same air circulates in the room rather than get blown a way by wind outside, then it is much easier to spread the virus.
I'm totally on board with copying is not theft

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeTybKL1pM4

Except that it is something. I go to my tax accountant, have them calculate my taxes, then, when they send me the filled out paperwork I make a copy, send back the originals, and say "No thanks. Didn't really need this". What would we call that? Theft of time? Theft of labor? Breach of contract? (I didn't sign a contract). Breach of implied contract? Does any of this apply to movies/music? It feels similar except there's more than 1 person making a copy and they didn't "pre-order". Do those differences matter? It still feels like taking the product of someone's labor without compensating them for it, same as the tax accountant example.
The vanilla CONNECT method is an instruction to open a TCP connection to the target server. What is sent over that is entirely up to client and target the server it doesn't need to match. Its often TLS carrying HTTP but it could be anything.

The proxy could inspect the traffic it is carrying and try to enforce some access control or policy. However, the use of TLS or other encrypted protocols limits the ability to do see what is happening. Then you get into a different logical layer of whether there is MITM happening, but that is tangential to conventional use case for HTTP proxy.
to my surprise, vim has built-in support (:help termdebug) for gdb. It's not as chiselled as some GUI debuggers but still usable and makes it (visually) easier to debug in terminal.

Accidently I also moved my mouse cursor over a variable while stopped at a breakpoint, in a terminal, over ssh, and there is a hovering balloon popping up with the current state of that variable. Mind blown.
You can take it anywhere and just leave it? Middle of the road? Under a bridge? Random backyard? That sounds useful but how often do you not need transportation back from where you came? If you leave the bike how easy is it to run into another bike someone randonly left?
Some batteries like deWalts's flexvolt system do allow rearranging the cells. They go full series so you can run efficient 60V tools off them, but swith to partly parallel to charge on a standard 20V charger.

Indeed.

Consider the average IQ of the state of California: 95.5

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/average-iq-...

The implications of the Bell curve is that half of the population is dumber having an IQ<95.5! And the majority of the area under that curve is of course below IQ-100.

And Massachusetts is equally ABOVE 100 as California is below at IQ=104.3

How many people associate California with intelligence and "right thinking"? Clearly this is a wrong assumption in every objective sense.

Why not read the research? A 'smell test', especially by someone with no experience or expertise, doesn't indicate much.

Any claim of racism - even raised by an expert who has done detailed research, in a society with overwhelming evidence of it historically and now, and in higher education admissions in particular - is always dismissed.
It's not price gouging (as the article references) if it's a competitive market and there's no supply shock. It's just the bid up price of the good.

Landlords and owners will be able to command high fractions of average incomes as long as there is no slack in the housing market. If you nationalize housing and hold prices low, then there will be supply shortages where some folks will not be able to get housing who would happily pay your price. (This is a fact, not conjecture, and is easily observed in any affordable housing lottery in the United States.)

The only way to have low prices and also to satisfy the demand for housing (i.e. have each person who is willing to pay be allocated a unit) is to have slack in the market. No other solution will do it.
When I've asked this question to engineers that work at famous companies they're usually happy to explain what the tradeoffs are and why some decision was made if they know the reason (often there might even be a blog post).

Usually they just don't know the reason unless it's within their specific team or area of expertise and they just say they don't know.

Maybe it's different at the executive level or something.
Do they pick up cheaper solutions, or the faster and bigger aiming with more marketable pitch?
Those kids would still potentially breed the normal way. If a rich kid knocks up a bunch of poor ones, those children will have similar genetic advantages.

And rich people fall from grace all the time. It's difficult for families to hold onto their wealth over successive generations. One of the keys to maintaining wealth is to keep it from being diluted, which means that some kids are going to get cut off.
If a merge conflict occurs, I'd much rather hear about it from git instead as opposed to some obscure breakage later in testing or production.
I mean, if you're storing user information that isn't pertinent to the business with fridge magnets on a slab of metal, and the user asks you to take them down, it's a GDPR violation if you don't remove/scramble said magnets after 30 days.

There's a good record of phone imaging over the years to be found in a few devoted sites still comparing phone cameras with the Lumia 1020, the 2013 flagship of Windows Phones known for their camera hardware and naturalistic processing.

I find it quite remarkable that the 1020's 41 MP, 1/1.5", f/2.2 camera, relying only on oversampling, has performance that still falls within the range of the flagships of today. It even achieves comparable performance when zooming, despite modern dedicated telephotos!

For what it's worth, I've had rather more trouble with Ethernet than IB, especially given IB management facilities.
Same here. First time I tried to read it, I literally smashed it angrily in the floor. But I came back to it a while later. And then it clicked. I read many more books by “E.T.” after that, and also loved his audio lectures (audiobooks, YouTube, Eckhart Tolle TV). That was a while back, though. Ten years or so.

Those who enjoy Eckhart will probably also enjoy Osho. His talks had a similar effect on me. With Osho, it is helpful that he is no longer around. So it’s easier to look past the cultish aspects of his person.
yes, there was only 1 samsung card tested - they should test more. Basically ALL my SD cards are different flavors of samsung.
In the US, more than half of everyone lives in a single family detached house. So perhaps half the population doesn't have a major hurdle to at-home charging currently.

For the rest, a 300 mile EV with once-a-week fast charging while they grocery shop is entirely viable. Yes we need to continue building out the infrastructure, but since your comparison is with a battery swap solution that doesn't currently exist in any form, we're already way ahead on that.
AFAIK, the SAT is biased against poorer students, including in its structure, in its content (maybe they've fixed that), and because wealthy test-takers can afford test prep courses.

What makes you say that the SAT is the best option for poor applicants?
Standardization is not in chemistry or the tech itself. It is in voltage/amps and the physical dimensions we already do this with AA and AAA batteries.
This is relatively straight forward to prevent with signed certificates stored on a secure coprocessor.
> I'm also confused as to how anybody expects to create an upload filter system that respects fair use, given how subjective the fair use criteria are. We have already have seen how this works out with sites like YouTube - it simply does not work.

The groups that want this do not like fair use, either. In their ideal world, fair use wouldn't exist and you'd go to prison the second you opened a BitTorrent client.
this is exactly when politicians get to pass all the ugly crap the public hates.

I somewhat disagree with this article. Microservice is great for complex software modules. But some jokers in industry starts writing miscroservice for every small function/method in the code. It's better that microservice should be designed by experts.
Yep, seems we're all unclear on what the actual intent is here since it seems to fail most of the use cases that "plain text" brings to mind.
It's not price gouging if the market is uncompetitive and there is a supply shock, because there's no such thing as price gouging.
Each battery can have a serial number and an embedded ARM chip and the charger be connected to the internet.

So the central server will reject the battery if it can't authenticate with the proper RSA private key, or that key is already online somewhere else.

Just like creditcards with chips are validated each time.
Seriously tho, it comes down to dollars and cents and the fact that !important is an option (and not just for font-size).

A client says they’ll pay for 30 minutes, the boss won’t let you go over 15, it’s not like there’s enough time to actually wiggle your way through a CRM to drop the proper CSS, so a little !important in the override inline CSS is what happens time and time again.

Good developers would love to take the time to do things right, but we don’t always have control over these situations and it stinks.
> If we think about resilient systems, the most resilient systems are the ones with the least number of moving parts. The same is true for the fastest systems.

in some sense yes, in some sense no. a monolith with a denial of service vector in part of its functionality can suddenly take down your entire fleet because everything was exactly the same.

in much the same that domestic bananas are more or less one virus/bacteria away from being wiped out (again), a monolith very susceptible to any kind of correlated failure because the blast radius is most likely the entire monolith.
Given that it will still take 30-40 years for the bulk of gasoline consuming fleets to expire/turnover, this is ironically a problem that I bet such oil plutocrats are thinking they'll shift the burden to their children to deal with.
Develop domain experience and a reputation as someone that ships things, and keep building contacts in that domain. Those contacts eventually will ask you to solve their problems and you ask for 3x the money you think you deserve in return. Why 3x? The problem initially looks easier, and whatever you end up shipping will take 3x longer than what you first estimated.
There's plenty of research you can read, as well what colleges have published. What do you think of it?
They already have 10x more land than they can do anything productive with.
Let's say this person is part of the family in practice although they aren't part of the family on paper.

I can leave an ebike on a random sidewalk, as long as it is not blocking the way, for a $2 fee, or at a dock, of which there are many, for free.

How often do I do this? Probably once a week. Bike out to the beach, walk or bus back. Bike to the grocery store, lyft back. Go on a walk after work, not have to worry about getting home.

How easy is it too find one? Pretty easy. There are docks everywhere, and an app that shows me where bikes are left.
Hacks can be good code too
I don't know where I read this, but narrow streets cause people to slow down too. Nearby my home is a very roomy 30mph 5-lane road where the flow of traffic is usually 45mph. Plenty of room to speed up!
I’d rather buy in Canada which has its own “Siberia” and a functional rule of law. Look at YT, NT, NU
You can buy an ebike for 1,000 or less. You can pay 99/month for typical ebike monthly rental.
Feel free to correct me if i have it wrong
> Did we consider that if everyone is breaking the law, the law itself might need a rework?

The law is fine, the enforcement is not. If the enforcement had any teeth, then people wouldn't be breaking it. So long as managers try to get away with dark patterns rather than just take their business off the internet, the penalties are clearly not stiff enough. But I'm fine with this taking a few years to get in place. It's better to ramp up penalties once the law has matured a bit, than to have the kind of business-ending penalties I'd like to see, for a very new law.
I'm not aware of anyone who claims that the housing market is uncompetitive in the economic sense. There are a ton of independent sellers and a ton of independent buyers. Information is not exactly symmetrical but it's pretty close. These are the hallmarks of a competitive market.
