The processing of my job might have a legit Lambda timeout of 5 minutes, because occasional proper evaluations take that amount of time (even though most take much less).

In my opinion, the fact that the SQS connector can't keep hold of that message after receiving a 429 response (while keeping the visibility state updated, that is something we were doing ourselves prior to this migration), and process it right away after capacity has been freed up, is a flaw.

There's a 5 minute waiting time for the retry in this scenario that needn't be there, even if the lack of it would force the SQS connector to be slightly (but just slightly) more stateful.
Assuming there's no super-fine print that somehow says otherwise and can be enacted on a whim, making sure there's no broadcast restrictions is very smart.

I've wanted to use NBA league pass in the past to follow my team, and the crazy broadcast restrictions meant that on the rare occasion I had the time to watch a game, it was a shot in the dark as to whether or not I'd actually be able to. On many occasions it was very upsetting to have an evening to myself wanting to simply watch a game I felt I paid for and to find out my game wasn't actually available after all.

I understand that the sports leagues customers are really the cable channels who pay them big cash for the broadcast rights, but this kind of thing was a big part of what killed my extreme enthusiasm for pro sports.
Well, quantum mechanics describes the universe as a wave function which describes a probability distribution. Most physicists who work on quantum mechanics seem to believe that wave function collapse is a truly nondeterministic process; the only real alternative, from what I understand, is hidden variable theories, which we know imply nonlocality thanks to Bell's theorem.

There's the caveat of Everettian quantum mechanics, where the universe is described exclusively through the wave function which evolves completely deterministically. However, this still causes the observer to experience a measurement outcome as truly nondeterministic; there's just one version of the observer for each measurement outcome.

Here's the Wikipedia article on quantum indeterminacy, which I'm sure you can use as a jumping-off point for further reading: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_indeterminacy

EDIT: Though while this topic is fascinating, I don't think it's extremely relevant to my own thoughts on free will or whatever. I'm perfectly happy to discuss a hypothetical brain which is truly deterministic, and I don't think I would consider a consciousness simulated on a deterministic computer to have any less "free will". The consciousness in the computer would _be_ the circuitry and program. Of course it couldn't make different choices twice given the exact same state and input; it wanted to make the choice it did because of its state and inputs. I don't understand how the choice is any less free just because it's deterministic.
It also gives them a compelling way to tier their service & grow revenue from existing subscribers.

From this perspective, something like Sunday Ticket makes a lot of sense even with the hefty price tag, so long as they’re allowed to parcel out those games as they’d like.
So I think we're referring to different blackouts. I believe OP was complaining that streaming services such as NBA league pass never show your local team. If you want to watch your team you need a cable subscription. That's different than your local TV station not showing the game because it didn't sell out.
Building on that, it's ever more clear that the needed building blocks needed to create life are floating around in space, they seem to be very common. Wherever there are adequate conditions (water can exist in liquid form, not too harsh of an environment), amino acids will be deposited there from meteors, they could chemically interact and over lots of time more complex things can arise. So there's an excellent change for some kind of life (microbes at least) to be widely being created across the universe.

> the dumb blackout rules prevent me from watching it via streaming

The blackout MLS rules are really dumb. For example, I het my normal TV through DirecTV stream. My local MLS club (FC Cincinnati) airs their local broadcast on a local over the air channel. This channel is also on my DirecTV subscription.

However, because I get my “TV” streamed over the internet and not through a satellite dish or cable, all local MLS games were blacked out for me. I pay for local TV access, but even when the game was broadcast over the air, I would get blacked out because of how I got the TV access.

This was just dumb.

I specifically got a network OTA tuner just for this purpose, but getting rid of blackout rules entirely would be fantastic.

> NT 4 was rubbish for laptops. But it was a state-of-the-art OS for desktops in 1996.

That matches my recollection. I was working in a shop that used NT 4 on 15000+ desktops. (I do recall SP3 or SP4 causing a ton of drama on those.) We were never able to get it to run acceptably on a laptop.

I never used OS/2 2.0 in anger. I did run Warp 4 on a few systems and recall preferring it over NT 4. It was also only suitable for desktops, though.

The batteries on my laptops are pragmatically just a UPS. The time between occasions that I need to use my laptop on the hoof (for more than "two hours") is so long that the age of the battery is a far bigger factor to consider than the software being run. I don't loiter at coffee shops unless I'm on a date, and libraries/offices/hotels have outlets.

Speaking of UPSes, I wish that desktops/servers would just chuck a laptop battery socket on the back. Batteries are the only real difference between desktops and laptops, and desktops need them nearly as much as laptops do.

Redfin laying off 8% of its staff
The returning of the asteroid sample and its analysis by Japan are very important and interesting.

The problem is with the news report, which does not include the information that could have been interesting about the results. Instead of that, the news report stresses the number of amino-acids that happened to be found in the sample, which has an extremely low importance.

Any extraterrestrial sample of matter which has condensed from a gas with the oxygen content under a certain threshold, and which has not been exposed to high temperatures that would vaporize the volatile organic substances is guaranteed to contain many amino-acids. Confirming the expectations is not newsworthy.

If the news report would have contained the list of amino-acids, or better, also their proportions, that could have contained some useful information.

A complete list might be too much in a news report for the general public, but there is some useful condensed information that could have been given instead of a complete list, i.e. how many proteinogenic amino-acids were among the 23, how many of the amino-acids were left-handed and how many right-handed, and whether there was any amino-acid which has not been found previously in matter of abiotic origin.

Agree that there is a way to have a healthy company with motivated, engaged staff without targeting employees based on their age. IBM has been broken for so long. They'd be best off spinning RH back out and just selling everything until they're just a mainframe company.

Banks and Autos have a pretty similar moat - legal/regulation/compliance.

Incumbents that are nimble enough to innovate their product when prodded by competition from tech will prosper more than the tech firms trying to disrupt, in the long term.

Every region, country and often state/local have different rules that must be followed. There is little in the way of automation synergy here. You need a certain amount of staff to keep up and be compliant. Every new market you enter requires more rules to comply with..
I have a hunch though that IBM employs more old people than any other big tech company (i.e apple, facebook, google etc). At some point the old generation should step aside to make space for the new or the company itself will die just like its employees.

It's no secret that after a certain age you stop chasing big dreams and just want to do more of the old things/job which is not a competitive strategy for a company.
>Guess how much would get done if you learned to explain why that work is important to a non-technical colleague? Lots.

From my experience, this is more a cop-out than anything else. At some point I'd expect you understand children with a track record of doing as they are told and informing you of important details do not need to be strictly parented around every corner. To expect that very thing from adults with way bigger incentives to behave feels off.

> As assetutil showed, there are multiple entries for ClarusSmooth2.pdf—and one of them is followed by data that starts with the PDF file format header (%PDF). But, unfortunately, extracting that data into a separate file seems to result in a blank PDF. And I don’t know enough about the format to figure out whether there is any vector data in it, or if it truly is empty.

I suspect this _is_ a vector format, and they’re using the Xcode 9+ features for a scalable image at runtime. I’ve never tried to extract the data back, it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re optimized for themselves, since in theory apple’s frameworks are the only “consumer” of the compiled asset catalog.

The most that is likely to get forgiven anytime soon, if ever, is $10k (that's all that Biden has sorta kinda maybe promised he'd do at some point).

If you've got more than that, keep making payments. If you've got less than that, you should probably still keep making payments (or at least go back to paying them when the deferments end).

That these are worldwide rights is also interesting, that almost never happens for sports deals because there's usually more money to be had chopping up broadcast rights and selling them per country.

Okay, I'll bite. Libel and slander aren't illegal speech; you can make a civil action for the damages connected to them, but they aren't outlawed and you won't face criminal prosecution. Unless you're in a jurisdiction with criminal defamation laws, which journalists and human rights activists have been fighting for decades. https://cpj.org/2000/09/calls-for-repeal-of-criminal-defamat...

Some jurisdictions have criminalized "hate speech", but the implementation and definition of this is haphazard, and the consequences are often negative, rebounding on communities that were originally intended to be protected.

The best cure for boredom is to cultivate tolerance for boredom by doing boring things without listening to music or watching youtube at the same time. Just sit there and draw or whittle or carve wood or do the dishes or play solitaire with a physical deck of cards. No music. No instagram.

A small way to start this journey: don't take your phone in the bathroom. Don't read the shampoo bottle instead. Just sit there and do your business without being constantly stimulated.

Try prayer or meditation. Eventually, you won't feel compelled to build Comic Sans eyesores to chase the anxiety away.

>Is this comment section not a social medium? Or are you saying you don't take your own opinions seriously?

Directly engaging with people on a forum is not even remotely the same thing. The danger is in the algorithmic mind control that social media employs. It is subtle, dangerous, and highly effective at providing alternate realities tailored to the individual. Allowing your mind to be exposed to that is fatally naive, and has lead to the nightmare world of manufactured outrage that we now live in.
Credit checks are actually somewhat costly for a small landlord. We had a rental house, and you can't just order a one off credit check. We needed to join a rental housing organization (or contract with a rental agency) to get access to credit checks. That being said, there is room in the market for a tenant friendly app that caches your credit check if you are applying to multiple apartments -- no need to run your credit multiple times within a few weeks.

Have had lots of bad experiences with that from Pagerduty at least. Want to generate a schedule far in advance, so people know when they will be oncall and can plan/switch.

Of course, in a few months we may have some new people having joined, some quit, or other circumstances. A single misclick when fixing that can invalidate the whole schedule and generate another. Infuriating.

Or the UI itself, might have become better tha last two years, but having to click "next week" tens of times to see when I was scheduled (since I wasnt just interested in my next scheduled time but all of them) were annoying.

They are just saying to other big companies to keep underpaying women, because it is cheap to underpay them than pay them equally.

ESPN had a more in depth article outlining the deal:

Speaking to Sports Illustrated on Tuesday, MLS commissioner Don Garber emphasized that the commitment isn’t a traditional broadcast arrangement, wherein a league exchanges the rights to its games and content for a negotiated rate. Rather, MLS and Apple have entered a partnership where each is incentivized to grow the business. Garber declined to reveal the economics (MLS reportedly was seeking up to $300 million annually), but he said the league will receive a base fee along with a percentage of subscription sales. Sports Business Journal reported that Apple’s guarantee to MLS will be $250 million per year. MLS and Apple will create a production studio, hire presenters and English-, Spanish- and French-speaking announcers, develop shoulder programming and produce a live whip-around show on Saturday nights.

This might answer your question:

Although the days of club-specific, regional broadcasts will end following the 2022 season, linear networks like ESPN, Fox or Univision are still in frame to negotiate a broadcast deal. Those games will be simulcast, however, by Apple. Local blackouts also will become a relic from the past.

More details:

— The dedicated digital platform will allow MLS to schedule matches at more regular and predictable times. Garber said there are 60 different start times across the 2022 season. From next year, MLS will schedule as many games as possible on Saturday nights, with occasional mid-week games on Wednesdays.

— Standard broadcast windows will include a 30-minute pregame show and postgame content. Club radio feeds will be available in addition to league broadcasters.

— MLS full-season ticket holders will receive a complementary subscription, and select games will be available to Apple TV+ subscribers at no additional cost.

— Content will be available on the Apple TV app on all Apple devices; Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, TCL, VIZIO, and other smart TVs; Amazon Fire TV and Roku devices; PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles; Chromecast with Google TV; Comcast Xfinity and on tv.apple.com.

— All broadcasts will be in 1080p.
