I’ve been on a project where we _experimented_ putting Snowflake on a user-facing path. It was expensive and ineffectual.

Given that the likes of ClickHouse and Druid can be made user facing, and support backend analytics workloads, doesn’t that just imply that Snowflake/redshift are just outright less capable?
What a press release: the actual main message -- iPod touch is being discontinued -- has been weasel-worded out of the entire text, to the point that a non-native reader of English wouldn't even be able to decipher what it's trying to say.

I get that it's second nature for corporate marketing to try to dampen the message when they're taking something away, but this is on a whole new level.
"hate speech" is whatever the current political climate deems to be unacceptable speech. Today it's hateful to be against homosexuality, tomorrow it's hateful to be against any other approved policy from your favorite political party.
“They also have to plan these things out ahead of time. They aren't making day by day decisions.”

This is not true.
I've had this issue too, but only sometimes. Thinking about it, might be due to stoplights. Google has no way of knowing when I hit a red light, and some of them are obnoxiously long. I'm assuming Google uses an average, so if you get unlucky it get be way off.
Precisely. I still think BTC has a future, but the fewer shitcoins the better. It’s gotten utterly absurd.

I’m personally blown away by the weird shit that went on and the Amber Heard case. I’m reticent to call that inherently politically “left” and more of “an incredibly scummy cash grab that apparently didn’t even work very well but happened to appeal to a slice of left-leaning people”

Whoever came up with, pitched and signed off on that whole silly scheme should be excised from the organization immediately.

As for them deciding not to help out the Unite The Right folks after their blatant violent rhetoric and blatant violent (if vague) plans led to an actual death… uh, so what?

I’m kind of amused by the “both sides are equal!” rhetoric — as if the nazis somehow are lacking funding, political goodwill and sympathetic judges.

Anyway, serious question: Is everyone entitled to ACLU resources? For example, if I organize a rally about how it’s cool to kill people that I think are subhuman and one of the attendants goes ahead and follows through with that line of reasoning, is it a violation of my rights if the ACLU doesn’t trip over themselves making sure that I can do it again?

If I’m entitled to ACLU money then I’ve got free legal representation for life, right? Disregard the fact that in this scenario I’m maybe in the hook for criminal incitation of violence — it doesn’t matter. Incitation is speech and speech is a civil liberty and that’s in the name of the organization. checkmate, losers.

I do think funding silly leftist causes is about as dumb as funding certain righty causes, but at the end of the day the ACLU is an organization that has, and has always had, the civil liberty of free speech themselves, including the right to pick who and what they work with and on.

Anyway, I’m glad the author is an experienced federal defense attorney. Maybe she can spend her personal time helping out the members of Christopher Cantwell’s various Telegram channels since she cares more about their wellbeing than her own feminist and Democrat ideals.
What would be the difference between microservice and a monolith with separate folders, separated by team? If teamA calls teamB's code, they have to import. If teamA needs a change to teamBs code, they submit a PR?

Microservices are not needed for scaling an org .
This was the story moving from USB 1 to 2, and this is still the story for people trying to charge their laptop (USB-A to C cable) from a random phone charger or an underpowered USB-A hub.

Coupled with the nightmare of guessing which USB-C cable supports what, I have the feeling preventing us from further confusion has never been a decisive factor in product making.

2A was initially presented as

> The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country: but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.

Then, the next time it appeared, it was reworded as

> A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; but no person religiously scrupulous shall be compelled to bear arms.

Before being whittled down to nix religious exemption and leave ambiguous who runs the militia

> A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Judging from the Congressional record nobody focused on the fact that the militia clause got flipped between meetings, so take from that what you will.

Very unlikely. For this sort of thing it’s always been safe to assume that Amazon or EBay are AliExpress with faster domestic shipping and better customer service - that is what the premium is buying you.

Well put. Mad Max Fury road was fantastic.
Thanks for the strawman; you know as well as I do that you can be fired for a lot less than calling your co-workers obscenities. I've seen people fired for just mouthing off about their office job while they're at the grocery store.

Also, don't tell me it's important if you're more than willing (re: you're going out of your way to defend it being taken from you) to have it taken away from you. Don't tell me I'm being obtuse if you can say that it's unimportant for one of the most valuable portions of your life.

I want to point something out from an information tgeoretic point of view.

Can you say you know what is going on if you don't read the implementation code? I'm even fine with extending that to executable code.

You must read code. Code use sans understanding is dangerous. You can do immense harm without even realizing you're doing it. Look at Log4Shell, or MCAS.

The majority of your time as a computing professional should be spent reading code you'll be using. Abstraction is nice. Until it isn't.

I'll never understand the I shouldn't have to read code school of thinking. It's like saying you should never have to learn arithmetic.

Now there's a case to be made that in development communities that value convention, yes, you can get to a point you don't have to read as much code in that community, given everyone plays by the rules.

Colors.js or node-ipc is what happens when they don't. So even then, don't read at your own peril.

In what way? Both the headline and footer are very clear that iPod Touches are only available while supplies last:

> Customers can purchase iPod touch through apple.com, Apple Store locations, and Apple Authorized Resellers while supplies last.

That's pretty clear that more won't be made.
Yes, the level-headed take is that an organization has not taken a "hard-left turn" unless they are calling for redistributing the land and cancelling the debt.
I still use an mp3 player (sony walkman).

A smart phone is a poor substitute. The walkmans battery lasts much longer, it's simpler to transfer music too (it's just a USB drive), I can alter the volume change/track just by feel without having to pull it out of my pocket, I can just plug it into my cars USB port, I can drop it, I don't have to use a touch screen or update an OS..,

EDIT: just looked it up, mine is the B series, basically a thumb drive with a little display and some touch controls.

https://store.sony.co.nz/walkman/NWZB183FL.html

I haven't used the much more expensive ZX series which seems... well a bit pointless to me. Like I said, big advantage of my B series as I can do it all by tactile feel without looking at a screen.

Other interviews are the best preparation for future interviews. Just go and do the interview and after the first few failed interviews, you’ll relax and then your intellect will be able to shine through. Don’t interview with your first choice but rather possible choices. It’s better to have to turn down multiple offers than not have any. Oh also say “I don’t know” when you don’t know. I once went to an interview for a software dev but the interviewer was interviewing for an architect position. I said more I don’t knows than ever in my life. I was eventually offered a position more aligned with my skills (which I took). Also try to do as many in person interviews if possible. If not video interviews where you talk with the people about your passions, technical skills and who you are as a person are a must so they know there is a human behind those mad coding skills. Also an interview is important to show off and upsell yourself. If you don’t, who will? (I don’t mean braggart I mean what your personal and professional passions are)
I have a fantasy where everyone who worked on recent USB standards must personally provide tech support when there's a problem.
This seems to be why Germany has a lot of healthy middle / medium sized businesses, if indeed true on face value.

This is what the US should really subsidize, the ability to bootstrap and start a new business, especially first time business owners. I know the SBA does some things around this but it is very much focused on "mom & pop" type stores, I don't know of any software businesses started with an SBA loan (though I imagine due to time and volume, there probably is one).

I think taking the risk out of it in this way would be a huge economic win, but it would definitely not be popular with the incumbent businesses that have the dominate lobby voice in US politics.
Big talk from the guy who amplified the surveillance state's reach. A move that, in addition to eroding American freedom, has eroded the freedom in allied countries as well.

He may talk freedom, but he's all about control.
The limitation is that by wanting a USB-C hub, you've painted a dollar sign on your head. USB-A hubs are cheap and plentiful, and for many applications work fine with C devices with an A->C cable. If that's not sufficient, you must be a big spender.

Not much of a survival guide, but a major fundamental is missing that makes this different from the dot com era: earnings growth speculation

Back then, the speculation were on companies that had tech with no viable business models or earnings to grow from.

Today's speculation seems more on the growth of actual earnings. Yes a company grew significantly during the pandemic, but is it sustainable? That's a big difference on what the basis for speculation is.

"whataboutism" - hah give me a break, you brought up historical change and previous presidents to contrast how things have changed! Now it's whataboutism to do the same thing because you don't like the point.

And it was satire! Not surprised it's difficult to recognize but clearly it's spectacularly idiotic to actually call a black person a white supremacist. No, if I was going to criticize Obama for something unironically it would obviously be his rampant corruption and nepotism, warmongering, foreign interventions, and many failures in Eastern Ukraine and the South China Sea, underestimation of and troubling relationship with Putin, etc.

And I hear a lot of claims without evidence that "there is no left" or that one party is less worse than the other. I'm not convinced by either. The former is just pointless arguing of semantics when the intention is normally pretty clear, and the latter is clearly highly subjective.
Apple Maps only uses OpenStreetMap in some places I believe - if anyone knows exactly where I'm very interested to hear!
ACLUs’ political donations aside, the world is not fair, and some are playing to win to inflict suffering on others. Arguing for fairness for everyone doesn’t necessarily mean you want fairness; it can also mean you’re looking for a system vulnerability to exploit. Revealed intent matters.

I would not enable fairness for someone attempting to harm a family member, a loved one, the general public, or myself, for example. To do so would be to empower their harm projection.

Some people wanted to believe that Apple's removal of the headphone jack was 'brave' instead of a complete crock of profit-seeking shit, to them I would say that you could buy an iDevice that makes calls and texts, or one with a headphone jack, but not one that could do both. There were two iDevices with headphone jacks left, iPod Touch and the iPad. (iPad Air and iPod Pro don't have them) Now there's just one left, and none that fit in a pocket. Once they discontinue the iPad, your only options will be flaky or nonworking dongles, special-buying wired devices with USB or lightning ports with predictably mediocre sound quality, or eye-wateringly expensive and delicate, and often unreliable, wireless devices.

My last Apple hardware purchase was over five years ago.
The ACLU on Northern California is the #3 donor (over $300k) for the effort to reject the recall of the progressive DA in SF. (sfethics.org list of actual donors, not guesswork).

Regardless of one's position on the recall, it seems an odd thing for the N. Cal ACLU to be putting over 5% of it's operating budget into this campaign.
Alright, first point in the article:

> For every $1 of UST, there’s an algorithm to maintain parity with the US Dollar

Well that was broken yesterday. The algorithm is not sufficient because you have to have collateral to maintain parity correlation. Why would I "believe" in an algorithm? It either works or it doesn't. This one obviously doesn't.

Interesting the title of the section is "belief." Things are not worth what we think they're worth because we believe it. It's a common misconception. Something is used because we believe it will still be worthwhile tomorrow, but something isn't worthwhile tomorrow just by believing it will be.

> Belief in the protocol based on its mechanics, its math, its history, and its team.

Belief in it's team? Nobody in their right mind in this market would ask you to believe in a team. Belief in the mechanics? Based on the writing, I'd be willing to bet the author doesn't understand the mechanics. I do, and I've explained it in this thread a few times, it is nonsensical.

Then there's an admission of investment into the project and therefore bias.

Then ample appeal to authority, fallacious explanations as to why Terra is different than competitors with a similar scheme, "cash flow" which is laughable in a decentralized context. The author has the audacity to claim that Luna is backed by transaction fees. This is absurd.

Th rest is just shitting on something called Titan and something called Iron, which are probably low hanging fruit.

Go read about nubits and nushares and learn a thing or two about previous attempts to do this.
I'm pretty sure -- let's call it 98% sure -- that Apple Music incorporates iTunes Match functionality, as described in this iMore article:

https://www.imore.com/apple-music-vs-itunes-match-whats-diff...

My suspicion is that they're not going to get rid of that functionality -- it continues to be a differentiator between them and Spotify. And, assuming that's right, they don't have any particular pressure to get rid of the standalone iTunes Match service. I know there's the argument that they might get rid of the $25/yr service in order to force people onto the $99/yr service. But it seems quite likely to me that Apple figures anyone still paying for iTunes Match but not Apple Music just doesn't want Apple Music, which makes the consideration in Apple's accounting department not "$99 > $25" but "$25 > $0".

US copyright law historically has been written by the Walt Disney company to protect "Steamboat Willie" and related works. This isn't fascism, it's just corporatism.
Oh they were all talking about securing borders, halting illegal immigration, etc. Hell, some of them even separated immigrant children from their families at the border and caged them. At some point in time that all became the Nazi™ thing to do, prior offenders were all retroactively absolved of their sins, and asking about how that made any sense was "whataboutism".
> The interpretation of the 2A as a “collective” right associated with membership in the national guard/militia is largely a creation of 20th century lawyers.

This is Daughters of the Confederacy "states rights" levels of historical revisionism. The origins of the Second Amendment were rooted in quelling a potential slave uprising [1]:

> The Virginians were slave-owners. Jefferson had inherited 175 slaves and had purchased a few more. Henry ultimately had 76 slaves. Madison had dozens of slaves. Militia was necessary because from them, “slave patrols” were formed to keep order. Virginians also wanted to avoid what had happened during the Revolutionary War: slaves were invited to join the Continental Army and thereupon became free. Henry even feared that abolitionists would find a way to use the Constitution to manumit all slaves. “In this state,” Henry emphasized, “there are two hundred and thirty-six thousand blacks, and there are many in other states.” It, therefore, was of paramount importance that State rights to maintain militias unregulated by the federal government be included as an amendment, if Virginia were to ratify the Constitution.

> So the Second Amendment was born. Not to protect individual rights from encroachment, but to guarantee states the right to keep armed militia free from federal interference, in order to maintain control over black slaves. Not the noble motivation one might have hoped for. But the truth about the need for a state Militia and the intent of the Second Amendment.

> A better way to reduce my position is "Republicans bad, Democrats slightly less bad"

And you think this makes it better? It doesn't. The fact that you are on the left to most Democrats does not mean your political opinion is fact. It just means it's your opinion - which you are totally entitled to, just if you try to remember disagreeing with it doesn't make a person a *ist Nazi. If you hold to that, what you'd do is preclude any possibility of a rational discussion with you.
