I worked in a lab testing Mobile network things. I was forever worried that some contractor would leave the radio antenna ports open without attenuators and termination, and unblocked. I considered buying a personal radio exposure warning device, but .. where do I wear it.
In the end I guess I complained enough about cables on the floor being tripping hazards I got an assignment where I didn't have to go to the lab anymore.
ZSH has mmv for this.
I must say, those error bars are impressive.
The main article is about how Atlassian have, out of nowhere, ceased business operations for 400 of their customers. They are no longer a going concern and this could happen to anyone who uses their products which is (alas) quite a lot of us.

That’s my perspective. Reading your comment it feels like between the lines you don’t think this is as serious as other people. If you have a different perspective, could you come out and say it? Can you elaborate on why a “Global Head Of” isn’t a senior leader? Do you think this is an unfortunate tech outage that is to be expected from any b2b tech company of this size? If you did, I wonder how many people here would disagree with you. Implicitly, the person to whom you are responding does. “Business collapse” and “vegas party” do not look good getting caught in bed together.

Your point would come across much better if it wasn’t mixed with moral outrage. If you have alternative opinions please share them and back them up. Then you will have earned a little more of the massive amount of social capital you need to tell someone, in public and quite rudely, to do better.
Statement on the Alleged Plagiarism by “A Roadmap for Big Model”
Now all they need to do is build https://www.edenhub.com and I'll move my personal projects. I have never grokked git, despite multiple attempts.
SF sits at around 65 degrees all year round. I get it's not a tropical paradise, but it's certainly not cold compared to most places in the US.
I'm just mad I read four paragraphs before realizing this was a sales pitch. Damn my pathetic human brain meat.
I've seen this is multiple places in the Bay Area (not just SF), and then also Boston, and Vegas. Weirdly not NY, but I haven't walked around that much of it.

Those are just the high urban density places in the US that I've been to. PaulG does not like SF, he has made that clear on numerous occasions, it isn't surprising that he looks for the opportunity to pass off this shit as being an unnecessarily complicated where cost of living is pushed to the stratosphere, while the monied don't pay reasonable taxes.
Gitlab in particular is unbelievably easy to self host. At my last gig I ran it on a t4g Debian instance with unattended upgrades and then just rebooted once a week at like 3am, literally never touched it again and it costs nothing to run.
Nothing ironic about it, one has little to do with the other. My statement is, that solar energy is economic all over Germany. There are of course local variations in productivity, but all over Germany it produces electricity at costs which are very competitive. But also there is a very apparent gradient across Germany, solar is more productive in the south and consequentially more popular there, wind in the more windy regions. Still both are used across the whole country because they work best in a mix.

German energy politics is an entirely different matter. And actually the main complaint about it is: the switch to renewables wasn't done quickly enough. Nuclear always was the smaller part of energy production in Germany, so even if no power plant had been shut down, the question would still stand: where would 80% of the energy come from. Relying on fossil fuels for that is definitely wrong, even more so, if you tie yourself to one very problematic supplier.

And please look into all the huge problems France currently faces about their energy production before cheering for them! The good side is, the largest part of the energy mix is nuclear, so it is low in carbon production. That is the good news. The bad news is, that the energy crisis in central Europe was basically started by several nuclear power plants in France being taken off the grid at the same time as the need for emergency repairs appeared. Electricity in France currently is quite expensive, often more so than in Germany.
Long term France has the problem that the nuclear fleet is aging. A lot of reactors are only operating because their life span has been extended. Currently there are no realistic concepts of replacing them, so France needs to hurry to expand their renewables considerably, which so far they haven't been doing.
Why the Next Big Thing Will Emerge from a Failed Idea
I always used to dream of this, but now I think, "if I need to do a high kick, or back flip, I'm screwed". I guess the popularity of sports games and martial arts games is the ability to see things done that you could never do in real life.

However, and to avoid being completely negative, I think you'd get a surprisingly close experience if you took Resident Evil 4 on the Quest 2 to a sports hall, so you could take full advantage of the body tracking (so you walk in game by walking in real life, with a quick reorientation when you're near a wall). Most of the in game actions are very close to your physical actions, e.g. aiming a gun, pulling a trigger, swinging a knife, grabbing goodies. Maybe that will fill a gap? :)
isn't it one of those "No one ever got fired for buying XXXXXX" type of situation?

Maybe i'm wrong, but the impression I had of Jira is that just like using sharepoint for file storage, the C-level people want it because they were told that's what big enterprise are using. And if it doesn't fit the need of the company and everyone hates it, they just blame the employees or lack of training.
Aw man... that would destroy pinterest.
That isn't everyone's experience. Our onprem Gitlab CI/CD sometimes breaks, usually because the Docker daemon went down for unclear reasons. The fix is easy, just restart the daemon, but still. Even managing a server may not be a trivial task depending on the available competency in the organization.

Upgrades and backups are way more problematic. A while ago I discovered that backups broke and I had to fix it. I setup automatic APT upgrades for Gitlab, but every few major versions or so a manual upgrade process is required. In an organization where people are less vigilant, and/or haven't setup monitoring of backups, this can easily lead to a disaster down the road.

None of this is particularly hard — for me. But for some others this may as well be black magic. Furthermore all this work is a nuisance, a distraction from what I usually do.
We seem to misunderstand each other, I am not talking about a miner making changes to their own mining code. There are, to my out-of-date knowledge, two fairly small groups with a lot of power within bitoin:

* The maintainers of the bitcoin core code

* The miners proving a large portion of the hashing power

These two groups have a large amount of centralised power. Last time I was involved with bitcoin the maintainers were essentially five people for example.

The network majorly runs the core client in various forms [1] by far the largest portion even runs the newest, or at least last two major releases. If those two groups decide to change the monetary policy via the source code of bitcoin core your options are basically to take your losses and fork the official chain or go with it.

But as I mentioned, I am out-of-date on my bitcoin knowledge, so these things might have changed.

> If somebody were to propose adjusting the monetary policy, they need overwhelming consensus of all bitcoin users.

I don't believe that is true, you just need consensus by hashing power and maybe harassing/ddosing power [2], otherwise you risk them sabotaging and damaging your new network too much to recover.

edit: I just read your other response to better understand your point instead of just trying to make mine clearer. It seems you are of the opinion that the consent of most economic participants, especially end users, is required to make that change. Which, obviously, is in contrast to my hypothesis that most people will follow whatever the current core version of bitcoin does as long as the primary hashing power of the system agrees.

I wonder if that's a dispute that could be settled with data/arguments at all, or if that's just something we have to disagree on.

There are plenty at current VR trade shows, it's just a very difficult thing to get right.

Also each experience world be characterized by a different range of haptics, so you either have to make an impossibly complex glove for all situations, or a simpler glove that's compatible with only one game/tool. You actually see the latter in research and industry, they're just obviously expensive.
You’re talking about the outage.

They’re talking about the outage lasting for two weeks without any communication as to what’s going on.
I don't think that's the case. Depending on your dataset and objective function, for some (too small) values of k, kNN will settle into local minima and not locate the globally optimal solution (I believe).

I’m not sure I would agree that we had a better policy towards alternative energy since policy at that time set nuclear energy back decades.

And on a side note, I’m not sure why we keep coming back around to low density energy sources like solar? I get that modern day photovoltaics are pretty amazing, and can work for very wealthy people who own detached homes. But they are bounded by the laws of physics and this was well known even in Jimmy Carter’s time.

We can’t power cities full of apartment buildings with millions people who want modern technology and a modern standard of living. Not without covering the Earth in silicon. And that is the most environmentally destructive idea I’ve ever heard of.
I especially enjoyed the trailers for tv show "The Mentalist" in this light.

I'm not as sure about the violence aspect of it, but certainly the rest rings true. Imagine the scene, you're driving in London and someone pulls out in front of you and does a series of weird manoeuvres, holding up the whole street for what feels like several hours. An appropriate exclamation could be "What the f*ck are you doing you utter mentalist?"

Hilariously, after thousands of words, this entire article doesn't define zero trust either.
There may be good content on medium, but more often than not I'm frustrated by long-winded, less accurate retellings of official documentation. I think it might be because of the monetization. People have an incentive to write shallow blog posts/tutorials on things like "throwing an exception with Python." If I'm out of options I will skim through a Medium post, but usually I avoid them at first because they tend to be less helpful than non-Medium blogs, official docs, etc.
I also had tons of these scripts. Since then I found one ScriptKit which might be interesting to you. https://www.scriptkit.com/

Even though you are no longer there...I had a friend who recently had her gmail inbox mysteriously emptied, all emails seemingly permanently deleted. She paid for Google One to be able to talk to support, and they said that the data is gone. Do you know if there's a way to recover this data? She is quite heartbroken at all the attachments that she will never get to see again.
Locally could be easier to rely on background run of a docker image instead of another console serving the files, just to run and forget, just use it by the dependent project you probably could be working on (Dependent on the static content). I'm agreed on the cloud it's better use the plethora of services available for static content directly like Cloudflare.
I totally get the whole "you owe the company nothing" mentality but in my situation, I feel I get paid an extremely high amount for the job I do which is relatively easy web development without much stress. Yet the market is moving so fast that since I started 6 months ago, I probably could squeeze an extra $10k-$40k out of a new position if I moved.

It just doesn't quite sit right with me because the company has really been quite good and I like the people I work with. The extra money also wouldn't really enrich my life all that much. But I feel like I'm doing something wrong by not interviewing every week and trying to squeeze the last drop of wealth out.
> Anyone else find it disturbing that they are able to restore data that they deleted permanently for "compliance" reasons?

An overarching theme with these things is “legitimate business need” and “no indefinitely retained customer data. Having backups, system event logs, etc are all legitimate business needs. Based on the data type that business need may be days or years with things like financial and legal requirements.

Youre conflating permanent, immediate, and irrevocable. These are usually handled in different aspects. Think of accounts having multiple states like active, suspended, closed, terminated, purged. Some examples;

suspended: credentials/authnz immediately disabled, all data online, charges continue to accrue, can be restored in minutes.

Closed: credentials disabled, data online, processing stopped, charges stopped, may take manual intervention (hours) to return to active.

Terminated: creds & account irrevocably unavailable, online data deleted, offline data (backups) remains available.

Purged: all online and offline customer data irrevocably unavailable. This generally happens after a defined retention period for things like logs, backups, etc.

You can apply similar concepts to individual resources more granularly than the account.

We said the same. Now we lose twice as much time due to Gitlab.com outages
> In essence I will be gambling that there will be more 20 in a row same side than 21 in a row same side, which might be probably true, I have to test it.

I think you're missing a subtlety here.

It's true that 20 in a row is twice as common as 21 in a row.

But 20 in a row is exactly as common as 21 or more in a row.

When you bet on that coin toss, you're not betting on 20 vs. 21. You're betting on 20 vs. 21+. So it's 50:50.

For every thousand times you reach 20, the bet that it ends at 20 wins about 500 times, and the bet that it goes above 20 wins about 250 + 125 + 62 + 31 + 16 + 8 + ... = 500 times.
So I think it just depends. I had a 2016 Mercedes with it, and it was the slowest thing in the world - I would parallel park myself twice in the time it took to do it once. But now I have a 2020 Volvo XC60 and it's very fast and reliable, I have no issues using it even in heavy traffic , it doesn't feel like I'm holding up people while parking.

Also take a look at the EFF’s wordlists [1] as an alternative to the Diceware list. Quoting from their blog post, here are some issues with the Diceware list that they have resolved:
- It contains many rare words such as buret, novo, vacuo

- It contains unusual proper names such as della, ervin, eaton, moran

- It contains a few strange letter sequences such as aaaa, ll, nbis

- It contains some words with punctuation such as ain't, don't, he'll

- It contains individual letters and non-word bigrams like tl, wq, zf

- It contains numbers and variants such as 46, 99 and 99th

- It contains many vulgar words

- Diceware passwords need spaces to be correctly decoded, e.g. in and put are in the list as well as input

It’s just one more thing to backup, test, monitor, etc.

Upgrade migrations didn’t always succeed so then you need to go back and remember what you did last time to fix it.

It’s a cognitive burden and distraction. In theory it’s cheaper to pay Gitlab to handle for us. Except that now we lose more time due to Gitlab.com outages than we spent maintaining on prem.

Of course inclined to believe you, but do you have a source to back this up?
I don't think that's right. In Poland the theoretical test is just as stupid as OP said, with a lot of "gotcha" questions designed specifically to catch you out, and yet people pass without bribery and then drive like bellends on the road. Having said that, people drive very aggressively and frequently are inconsiderate, but I'd say they absolutely know what the rules are - they just choose to ignore them because they think they can.
In 2014 I worked on a video game that loaded 1,000 instances of a mutable game world into memory, each machine had 256G of ram (about 210G was allocated to the game server) and I ran about 2,500~ of those.

The large mutable state like this tends to stress the memory bandwidth, so I’m not sure it’s related, but we used ECC memory and saw a seriously insane number of corrected bit flips.

Somewhere in the order of 100/s over the whole fleet as a baseline.

there were times that this rate spiked due to a faulty RAM stick, but if you look at the distribution it was fairly even, though there were fairly random hotspots.

After observing this I decided I didn’t want to live without ECC on my personal life, to my surprise there is no laptop on the market that supports ECC. Or at least none that I could find.

This issue goes away with DDR5 and built-in ECC though, or, our visibility of it does. So, I’m happy.

I understood it that the efficiency of the TPV depends on the photons wavelength which is determined by temperature on emission. So the band gap probably has an efficiency curve.
Mostly referring to high-traffic surfaces here, like Facebook Feed or Messenger. The % varies depending on the environment and the previous Draft.js implementation (and their plugins) but overall it's been very positive, especially with low-end devices that went way over 16ms response time per keypress.
I find it hilarious that on Windows there are commands using Windows style options (ipconfig, robocopy) and Unix style options (netstat, tracert). That's probably part of the POSIX compliance. So the list of possible help options to try is even longer: "/?", "-?", "/h", "-h", "/help", "-help", and "--help". For most of the utilities distributed by MS "/?" works even if the command uses dash options, but third party utilities usually support only their "native" options.

git /?: '/?' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

7z /?: Unsupported command

psql /?: trying to connect

And for PowerShell cmdlets you should use "help Verb-Thing" or "help Verb-Thing --Online".

It's very common to have several pages of questions like this with particular customers, and though they may often come in to sales and marketing people, they'll contain highly technical or operational questions relating to a variety of things such as security algorithms, programming languages (type safety etc) all the way to disaster recovery.

Regarding bulk restore, a big customer doesn't care if you can restore all of your customers' data, they care if you can restore _their_ data, and fast, hence the question of "can you restore data for a single customer?".
Have you checked yc's free startupschool.org?
That's one thing yes. What if there's a transient network error, or the DB runs out of memory, and now you have some data in an old state and some in a new.

Of course games are boring, the same way an old towel, a broom and bucket for your head are boring. The purpose of the game is giving you a few (ok, maybe a few million) rules so you can make your own fun out of a couple random things that would not be that interesting otherwise. The fun depends on, among other factors, what would you be doing otherwise, who else is playing with you, how seriously you take it... the "fun factor" of the game itself comes only from how many opportunities does it give you or wastes for you.
