This something that annoys me to no end at places like chipotle. People ask for extra everything (except meat, they charge for that), then at the end the poor employee is struggling valiantly to close the monstrosity. Surely that is what this tape is intended for. This behavior also leaves every other person with a shred of dignity with an undersized portion since the employees are habitualized to underserve in order to deal with all the “extra everything” people.
Maybe I was too young to know any better, but I loved the 90s movies - from T2 all the way to matrix including 5th element.

> but I believe that after Terminator 2 and Jurassic park there was garbage for a few years

But lion king, toy story, pulp fiction, shawshank redemption, fargo, forrest gump, etc were released soon after jurassic park. Garbage isn't the word I'd use to describe these movies.
NIMBY, overregulation driven by FUD that's often funded by other entrenched energy interests, misguided do gooders that decades ago were worried about global warming (now climate change) who also hated nuclear because it's less environmentally friendly than renewable.

That last one is tragic. We could have a massively smaller carbon footprint right now if we'd gone big down that path, presuming we also dumped resources for research into alternative uses for spent fuel & safe long-term storage. Instead of buying an electric cars that right now are powered by fossil fuels producing electricity (potentially even less efficient if the energy still comes from coal) electric might have hit their "killer app" stage a few years ago. (I'll concede that battery tech might not have advanced any faster with cheaper clean electricity and so we might still be just as ICE dependent as we are now)

At this point nuclear might be moot. I'm not sure, honestly. But we seem to be approaching a tipping point where off-peak storage mechanisms for renewables are almost maturing enough for national-grid scale build outs. This would make the faster & cheaper build out of renewables (compared long expensive nuclear builds) more viable as replacements for plants that are currently needed for base load capacity, which is where nuclear's economic sweet spot is at. It takes a relatively longer time to ramp up/down the output of nuclear plants compared to others, and they have high overhead to begin with relative to others (natural gas plants that ramp down in off-hours don't have to pay for the gas they don't but) so while more flexible variable output nuclear plant designs are maturing they may be too late in the game. Right now the future for nuclear appears to be more niche applications. Relatively portable rapidly deployable units for instant infrastructure, for example. (I believe this is currently under research by US military)

Anyway, that's a bit of a digression. The TLDR is sociopolitical facts killed nuclear (caveat: China is going very big on nuclear, they still see value there) and we've now reach a point where the issue is moot(ish).
Looks like it will be a pretty big recall.

With modern inverters the ability to provide reactive power for voltage support could be signal driven. It doesn’t inherently require overbuilding or sacrificing production all the time, just when needed. Further, it could be compensated thus justifying the lost production.

"enterprise software isn't built for users, it's built for the upper level administrators who contract the software, and for the amusement and profit of the engineers who are paid a large multiple of the salaries of any of the people who will be forced to use their systems and consume their ads at work."

That might be generally the case (and certainly historically true) but that has been changing for the last decade (disclosure, I worked in CRM for a decade and that was very much position taken internally, "focus on actual users at least as much as any upstream stakeholder" especially as mobile started to really take off).

Every well known proof of stake system today was either premined, ICO’d, sold to investors in private rounds at “special” prices, or some combination of these.

Naturally, if you were autoyielding passive income by staking pos coins you had a cost basis of effectively zero in, either because you participated in an ICO, or worse, because you had the right connections, or exploited your privileged position as developer to hard code coin balances for yourself into your own ledger prior to launch, you’d _love_ proof of stake and trumpet its supposed equity and fairness in public.

In reality, the most privileged and exploitative of investors who have the lowest entry price get the highest rate of return on staking (effectively ∞ in the case of premine recipients).

To insinuate this situation is “equitable” is beyond ridiculous.
These days with the prevalance of HTTPS, another option is to inspect the TLS client hello packet. To work well with load balancers etc, clients typically indicate the server name that they're trying to connect to (SNI - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication). That information is not encrypted. So you have both the dst IP and hostname in the initial packet.

It does not. You would have to run a VM like OSX and Windows do. Devs have not wanted to build in standardized ergonomic wrappers around jails like Docker, or some native answer to Docker compatibility itself, and you'll get talked down to in the user forums any time it's brought up ("use jails instead"). Though there are tools (iocage, Bastille, etc.) that make it easier to manage jails in a loosely similar way. https://github.com/sadaszewski/focker is an attempt to get the pieces together like Docker and docker-compose using some YAML, jails, and ZFS.

I got DEVONagent for free as part of a package deal way back when I first bought DEVONthink. It’s not game changing, but it’s still quite nice in a few ways:

- You can use advanced query operators like “word1 BEFORE/3 word2” to specify that word2 must appear within a couple of words after word1. Compare with searches that say “oh, you want all documents that contain both word1 and word2? Here’s a dictionary! Here’s your document index! Hope that helped!” (I’m looking at you, Notion.)

- The agent supports that on search engines that don’t natively support that grammar. If it must, it’ll search for all documents that have both “word1” and “word2”, then filter out all the ones that don’t meet the more specific criteria.

- You can automate searches, and get notifications when it finds new results. Not super handy, but still nifty.

- Want to search 23 search engines simultaneously? Fine.

I wouldn’t buy it alone for $50. I’m glad I have it, though, for the rare times that I need it.

I'm American, and I haven't experienced other cultures firsthand, but in my experience there's certain people in America that fit this description and certain people that don't.

How about it's a feature of certain individuals?

I love when people pick a few data points and then use that to generalize a broad swath of over 300 million individuals.

In the US, roughly half the population works for less money than it costs them to exist and show up for work! How they view the world is very different than the roughly quarter of the population doing well enough to see these discussions lack relevance to them and how they live and work.

There are shared responsibilities. Nothing gets designed, used and fixed in a vacuum. Ignoring how we fix things insures our design and manufacturing work raises the cost and difficulty of repair and repurpose.
For Netflix it is worse than selling at cost. They were sourcing most of their content from the companies they were putting out of business. It was unsustainable at any cost.

Until Netflix, TV production was funded by Networks paying for first run rights. The re-run/steam right were worthless unless you could get big re-run deals. So they got the rights for next to nothing and destroying the networks that paid for the content in the first place.
Here in Germany about 50% of high school graduates go into a traditional vocational program, many of which are crafts. Electrical work, the car industry, machinery, carpentry, woodwork and so forth.

My family (with me being the first exception) is all blue collar and I understand that construction is uniquely taxing physically but from my parents and people younger I've never heard horror stories about lost fingers or anything like that you're used to from very old people who work in trades. It's definitely possible to do these jobs safely and with good pay nowadays and safety regulations as well as better tools have aided a lot.

A lot of it I feel has to to with culture. If you have a guild system or something comparable that values the crafts and make sure payment and standards are met it's very different from letting people work themselves into the ground.

Any governmental agency is formally in service of the public good.

Are they doing a reasonable job of that?
Yeah the tax code generally tries to encourage holding stocks. So if it was just a question of the government getting the tax money now or later, I think most people wouldn’t want this.

However, the proposal is mostly to stop a specific tax dodge: stocks that are given as gifts/inheritance exempt both the giver and receiver from paying any capital gains taxes on profits from prior to the transfer. Combine this with tricks like taking out margin loans to fund expenses instead of selling stock, and someone can become a billionaire yet be paying next to no taxes
Still, much less to bury, and the resulting waste is much less active.
Why would that discount its relevance? It just says that he faced discrimination. And why would a majority of Hispanic-dominant companies mean that the remainder wouldn’t discriminate? Presumably it’s something he raised as a challenge when interviewed.
I love DEVONthink, but I understand that it’s not for everyone. What I appreciate is that I can automate an awful lot of routine tasks. For instance, if I drop a PDF of my bank statement that I downloaded from the bank’s website, DEVONthink will recognize that it’s from my bank based on the URL metadata that macOS attaches to it. Then it OCRs my statement (no idea why or how my bank manages to send it as an image), finds the string like “Closing date: X/Y/Z”, renames the file like “Bank statement - 20ZZ-0Y-0Z.pdf”, and moves it to the directory where I keep them all.

I pair it with Hazel, which monitors files that show up in my ~/Downloads folder and does stuff with them. (Examples: moving bank statements to the DEVONthink inbox folder. Opening any *.ics files with Calendar.app so that they’re added to my calendar, then deleting them.)

I could totally do all those things myself. I’d sure hate to go back to having to, though.

Is this an "as a white man"?
One big problem – on a character mode terminal such as a VT100, the host gets sent every single keystroke. So any key combination can be used as an "action key" – such as the slash key (/) used to open the Lotus 1-2-3 menu system. By contrast, on block mode terminals such as 3270, only a restricted subset of keys – such as ENTER and function keys – triggered a message being sent to the host, the rest of the keys were interpreted locally only. (Was there some mechanism to allow the host to redefine an arbitrary key as an action key? Not that I know of.)

How did Lotus 1-2-3/M address this? From what I understand, they adopted an approach commonly used in 3270 applications – a fixed area at the bottom of the screen was reserved as a "Command area". You would type your slash sequence there, and then press ENTER. The whole sequence would be sent to the host. If what you typed was not a full command, just the prefix of a command, I believe it would display you a menu showing the command options, similar to how 1-2-3 worked on other platforms.

But it also was a problem with things like scrolling off the screen. On 1-2-3 on other platforms, you could just use the cursor keys, and the screen would scroll immediately. Under 3270, the cursor keys are implemented locally, so you'd have to use a function key or command to scroll instead.

That's a bit harsh maybe? I'm not sure it's all about self confidence per se. Your mind can play tricks on you. Do you go around assuming that people you meet are lying to make fun of you? Is that thing they're mentioning the same as that thing you were reading about a few days ago? Is it lacking in self confidence to assume that it was, or to assume that it wasn't?

Regardless, at some level, it points less to self-believed knowledge, as is the premise of the article, and more to socially pressured self-presentation.

Everyone on Jimmy Kimmel who went home and thought to themselves, or told their significant other "I didn't know what they were talking about but went along with it" is contradicting the premise of the piece.

Anyone that prefers that hot mess probably also puts ranch dressing on everything, including pizza, and thinks Velveeta "queso" is delicious.

I can only speak from my own experience, but if you're anywhere close to the limits that Lambda imposes, then you should probably have already converted those functions over to Fargate or your own ECS or EKS clusters a long time ago. Many people abuse Lambda as a way to quickly launch an instance that's supposed to last for a relatively long time instead of one whose lifespan should be measured in terms of milliseconds or maybe just a few seconds.

Lambda gives you way more rope than you need to hang yourself many times over.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool when it fits your use case, but there are a lot of people who got started with it without really understanding their serverless use case, and because it worked so well they just never bothered to do their due diligence to find out if it really was the right solution. And even if they did do their due diligence at the time, they just cast that decision in stone and never came back to it.

It is possible to build and run a Tier 1 class service and take dependencies on serverless technologies plus DynamoDB and other Tier 0 or Tier 1 services. More than a few services at AWS are built that way. But you have to be careful when incorporating Lambda into that kind of equation.
Housing starts are very cyclical, they absolutely can and do stop building things when it stops being economically favorable to do so. This is one of the reasons we have so few carpenters. It’s a boom and bust industry.
As far as I know, whether a modern apple tree is dwarf or not bears little relation to the variety of apples on it- all apple trees are grafts, and most these days are grafted onto dwarf rootstocks to make the apples easier to pick.

If you want to plant an old variety of apple, there is nothing to stop you having it on a dwarf rootstock.
HBO seems to be doing fine producing their own content so I don't see it as a foregone conclusion that Netflix was doomed to fail. They didn't have the back-catalog but they had the head start in online distribution and could have bought a studio or two as they have for video games in order to seed their back-catalog.

I think a large contribution to their failure is Netflix cancelling shows after two seasons. If a show's probably gonna get cancelled before it gets a good run, why why would I bother watching it? People want easy watching, and they want a lot of it. Eg The Office, which ended up lasting nine seasons. Only Netflix knows exactly why they canceled shows, as only they have the viewer numbers, but a rumor I've heard is that after two seasons is when the production starts to get expensive because that's when a show gets traction and the production team and actors can unionize to demand more money - money that Netflix doesn't want to spend.

Unfortunately, in cancelling shows so quickly, there just aren't the shows to keep subscribers on the service - especially if subscribers have to keep picking a show to watch every two seasons. There's nothing more unsatisfying than spending an hour on Netflix trying to find something to watch only not to find anything. If they had more shows that ran nine seasons, it would be easier to justify keeping the subscription just for those shows. Two seasons just isn't enough episodes to keep watching a show and by playing penny-wise and pound-foolish, they just don't have the catalog. Which is sad, because the have a ton of good short-run shows that just needed more of a chance.

The other thing is their habit of releasing entire seasons at once. Their choice, but it's very supportive of my habit to cancel my Netflix subscription every time I run out of things to watch, and subscribe to a different service.
> you have some kind of professional audio setup

Yes, but that's not related to the comment. I tried to avoid my fancy use cases. It's more that through this I know that pipewire makes some scenarios trivial that people normally wouldn't know how to achieve or would spend lots of money on (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ for $100+)

The rest is just basic usage. For example, I'm in a video call and want to add just the browser's sound output to the call, but still hear it myself. With pipewire, that's "open (your preferred audio graph tool)", "drag and drop from browser to zoom". Runtime change, multiple sinks, including app sink.
> Does it make sense, from an accounting point of view

Yes, that's the entire point of accounting. They use ASC 920 and 926 accounting standards, so that anyone familiar with GAAP can understand what they're looking at.

> Disney+ or Disney loses 90% of their value in the 1st year, so Disney's accounting will only be paying for "Turning Red" this year and next year.

Disney+ also amortizes, and expects 80% over four years on original content.

> Netflix has effectively "borrowed future money", from an accounting perspective

Except that's not the accounting perspective. Netflix spends most of its cash on content before it even airs - should they recognize those expenses against income before that content has even had a chance to start generating income? That's borrowing future revenues against current cash outlays.

That's why we have these standards, so that when combined with three-sheet accounting we can understand how the pieces come together.
Thank you, somebody had to say it :)
But the way it works today is the "probable cause"is the fact the money is over 10k. No charges end up being filled, or they end up being dropped. But they don't give you the assets back. Even after proving they are legitimate. You still have to fight for it.
