Big customers don't pay list prices, they get negotiated rates. To the extent Azure and GCE are interested in competing on price, it's the big customers they're after. All cutting list prices would get them is a bunch of price sensitive small fish, and that's not where the money is.

Boris Johnson warns Russian victory in Ukraine would be absolutely catastrophic

How about if we just acknowledge this is debatable and completely beside the point of any of this and save ourselves the time?
It is a curious thing that science fiction and science-that-comes-to-pass influence each other.

This is why I like the idea of solarpunk. And yet, cyberpunk brings conflict/struggle which makes it interesting.

Solarpunk so far seems like a boring utopian dream. While I'd rather that in my future, it won't sell or interest people.
If your task is io bound, aka, lots of network stuff, multi process is overkill. Also, asyncio can handle a _lot_ more tasks 100,000's as opposed to 10s. So it really shines in heavy io things.
Also, multiprocessing can not share memory, and that can be a pretty busy g disadvantage depending on the task.
I don't have a Tesla and don't know much about its features so my comments might be very incorrect, but I wonder if the accident stats might end up being worse over time even though the feature is actually improving.

1) I don't know if it's the general social malaise and depression around the whole Covid stuff the last couple of years or the possible impact due to other social factors like illegal immigrants having far easier access to driver's licenses, but it feels like people have become significantly worse drivers on average in the US in the last couple of years. I can't quantify this objectively, but it feels like more drivers are impatient, taking foolish risks, caring even less about signaling turns, etc. Stats that compare the last couple of years with a few years ago might not be an exact apples-to-apples comparison of driving difficulty.

2) At one point, the self-driving feature might have been an extreme novelty that few people really trusted. They might have only used it very cautiously on safer straight stretches of road while monitoring the road themselves with their hands right over the wheel. As they grew more comfortable with it working well, they might have relaxed their attention, possibly to the point where they're not actively watching the road, or even nodding off or playing with their phone and not actively watching the road, and using it in far more dangerous roads. The system might be working better, but with much worse human supervision, it might paradoxically lead to more accidents.
I remember reading Vapor’s first code of conduct and feeling it’d been copied from an SDS rulebook. But that was New Left cultural stuff about marginalized people, not Marxist left.

For instance there were at least two rules about “tone policing”, which doesn’t even make sense (what is there to tone police?) and also seems to defeat the purpose of a CoC since moderation is a kind of “tone policing”.

Probably because async io generally scales better.
My bad, I meant clear in a more objective sense, in that it will be actually _true_ that these not-alive things will not be able to “possess” anything, rights included. Agreed that for sure people are going to get all kinds of meaning from interacting with them in the ways you suggest and it will be tricky to navigate that.

I think perhaps the advanced models may be protected legally _as property_, for their own value, and through licenses etc. But I hope we are a long way from considering them to be people, outside of the hypotheticals.
These 1950 census records were written in cursive. Quite readable to a human; not so much to a computer.

I should mention that the 1950 census DOES have a text search facility. It did not work for my family.
This is an excellent post about Socratic method discussions. Very well described. I wish I could have saved it.
Yes, the days of Democrats taking for granted minority voters and lumping them as a simplistic population of left-minded voters may end soon. However, it might be too late; the Republicans may hold these new converts for a long time, especially given the younger demographic of hispanics. Many of us tend to follow the party that we start with as new voters in our early twenties.

It seems to be the Republicans game to lose, which they have proven to be far better at avoiding than the Democrats. Abortion though is one issue that Republicans have bet the ranch on in the past with disastrous results. It is a land mine for them if they go too far with it.
That comes from Hegel. You just think Marx invented dialectics because you (like everyone else) can’t understand Hegel.

Note if they “take Marx and replace the concepts” it’s not secretly introducing Marxism, it’s another antithesis of Marxism, just like the right-wing ones.
Look into Garmin. My Fenix lasts for three-four weeks.
A more accurate description of that history is that the Christian Byzantine empire preserved it but it came to us from the Arabs as a result of it taking a foreign invasion to get Greek Christians and The West to talk to one another after 1054
Spam, clickbait and malicious content has always been around, yet Google somehow managed to filter it out just fine back in the day. As another commenter points out, good content from the past still exists even, yet is no longer surfaced.

Google can trivially detect all of the things wrong with the modern web and use them as negative ranking signals. Ads, analytics and affiliate links are a pretty good proxy for "shit site".

The problem is that Google ultimately benefits from spam sites and bad results in many ways:

* bad results increase the time you spend on search result pages and increase the probability the best "result" is actually one of the ads at the top
* spam sites may contain Google ads and analytics

Ultimately it is not in Google's interest to give you good results.
IDK, I mean...imagine you have access to a desk which can support a human arm... Or the top of your backpack sitting on your lap as you ride the train or bus.

Then imagine, additionally, if your brain didn't seem to mind watching TV at an angle, since it always watches it at an angle, just on a different axis of rotation, anyway.

IDK, some things are cool and also _just_ useful enough to be a no-brainer if you have the money. Throw in James Bond ads and you get a social utility bonus. Lend it to a friend in exchange for someone's phone number, or whatever. It's good stuff in lots of ways.
Question is: how many women die preventable deaths in the meantime? Will she be your mom? Your girlfriend? Your sister? You?
i liked brazil, but it, blade runner, and 2001 weren't nearly as good as delicatessen. delicatessen is so darkly funny and deliciously memorable (ha).

city of lost children, which came a little later by the same directors, is my all-time favorite in that dystopian future genre. it's probably a top 10 movie for me. plot, characters, the world you get sucked into, all top-notch. plus, you get the "brain in a vat" years before the matrix (which is also miles better than blade runner, 2001, and brazil).
SQLite typically doesn’t accept external contributions and will rewrite their ideas themselves.
Now try it while sitting - rest your arm across your folded leg, or on the arm of the chair, or hold the rail/handle on the train/bus, etc. etc.

I doubt you'd want to stand to watch regular TV, so why assume you'd be standing to watch a TV on your arm?

If that is truly the case then the original post does seem like trolling. I highly doubt anyone would ever honestly describe several thousand as 'globally unique'.
I'm honestly glad Kubrick didn't go with Clarke's narration. Kubrick was a filmmaker and Clarke was a writer. While abstract and nearly impossible to understand without the book, the movie and book work amazingly well together as a unit. With concrete first order explanation at the end the sense of profundity wouldn't have been there. The aliens and their machines are vastly beyond human comprehension, and the arc of man's evolution was absolutely poetic. It would have been dated and corny with direct visual and vocal explication. The movie drew me to book, not the other way around.
So instead of having a team of people own something (a product) you are splitting ownership up in so many ways, nobody really owns it, and now you have to make everyone waste their time on KPI tracking because somehow that's better than someone just owning their small product as part of a larger business?

This is pretty much a waterfall vs. iterations discussion where the reality is that the world doesn't stop moving while you're working.

If a product team needs to deliver something (i.e. "allow users to select a delivery window for an order"), they might update their microsite with the components and API calls to do this, and then update their API microservice to exchange that information based on the customer's identity (so they can only update their own order delivery data). None of that knowledge is going to exist in a classic ops team, nor should it be if such a team were still relevant.

At the same time, that team might need to take into account that there might be order peaks during the day and they have to collect and act on the right metrics to know how well their code works, how many resources they are consuming and what their scaling policy should be. None of that has anything to do with ops either.

Then, at the end of the day, they'll use all of this information and domain specific knowledge to decide:

- is the feature complete
- can users make proper use of it
- do we need to invest time and effort in code optimisations
- do we need to extract this feature into a separate scalable entity to prevent disruptions to neighbouring features

None of this is relevant or knowledge for ops either. Nobody will be able to manage a feature like that better than a product team with a few developers, a few features, a (shared) product owner, and perhaps a (shared) domain expert or tester. But the people who wrote the code own the implementation (but usually they don't own the business requirements).

What ops (or devops enablers) would be doing in this case is:

- make sure metrics aggregation is working as expected
- make sure scaling is working as expected
- make sure deployments and configuration updates are working
- construct new deployment options if needed
- construct new metric aggregation systems if needed
- construct new scaling and traffic management systems if needed
- notify the teams/owners if they are using deprecated resources or features for too long

Perhaps a simple but too vague summary of the above would be: small feature-owning teams build and maintain their features, devops people enable many small teams to do their work by providing shared systems.

A developer isn't just a 'writes some code, clocks out' type of value to a company. If it was that simple, robots could do it, and there would not be a shortage of skilled people. There are many more dimensions to work, and unless you work at a very large scale company, or a very restrictive company, it's highly unlikely that you'll be isolated from the world and just write a bit of anonymous source code with no idea of what happens before or after.
That is kind of a weird argument and I assume you don't understand the antiabortion position. People who are opposed to abortion think it is murder. If somebody supports personal responsibility that doesn't mean they think we shouldn't have murder laws.

You may disagree with the idea it is murder, but if it is in fact murder than it is completely consistent to support laws against it.
I’ve often wondered at the validity of pursing a vocation as an Oblate and supporting myself by consulting and providing software “lovingly made by monks at prayer”
Yup, code points are the way to go. The LSP is a great example of what happens otherwise [1]. The LSP authors made the controversial decision to sync documents using line/columns and UTF-16 code unit offsets rather than relying on code points. I fear they dug the hole deeper by expanding the set of supported encodings to UTF-8 and 32 rather than standardizing on code points. I can only hope this is treated as a stop gap solution and a proper switch to code points happens in the next major revision.

It's not immediately obvious, but line/columns are not a good synchronization method either. Unicode has their own definition of what constitutes a line terminator [2], but different programming languages and environments might have their own definition.

The decoding is probably in the same order of magnitude as listening to music from your watch.

The screen brightness is the limiting factor. Based on always-on displays on the Apple Watch you are probably looking at 8 hours or so?

So decoding with the screen on might be 5 hours?
I don’t think it’s meant to be absurd and I do think he actually believes it.

PKD was an excellent author, I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for Blade Runner. It'd probably be different if Alien didn't exist.
Maybe you're just a contrarian. Anything that's fashionable, especially when it's corpo-speak, rubs you the wrong way.

I'll hazard another guess why you may feel this way. The current discourse around stoicism is essentially aspirational. We no longer recognize the internal fortitude stoicism requires, neither in ourselves nor our peers, so we desperately cling to its ideals. Much like toddlers repeating they're not afraid in the dark when going into the basement.

See similar motivations around how all corpo-speak is now all about empathy, kindness, tolerance, and other traits we are really bad at putting into practice, but feel compelled to reiterate.
There is a ton of stuff to do as a teen. I spent a lot of my time getting into graphics. Other things to do could be sports of various kinds, music, making stuff, etc.

I look back on that stuff fondly, and I feel like doing that stuff helped me a ton today.
Proving code correct is orders of magnitude harder than the rest IMHO. It is amazing that enough progress has been made that large scale projects like CompCert and seL4 can now be done successfully by small teams of people.
Had you thought that they may have done that to troll you because you're being unnecessarily argumentative?

And yes, I said 'they' because I do not presume to know their gender, unlike yourself it seems. Not because I am being 'woke'.
One of the best solutions to out fossil fuel problems is to simply have less people. We need to dramatically reduce the number of humans. Perhaps then the pigeons can help.

ps: I recommend we let current humans die of old age, and make less new ones. Not attempt to get rid of humans already here.
isn't one of the problems of handling airships on open fields that you need a significant ground infrastructure to moor it, tie it down/protect it in stormy/windy weather? unless the airship only operates from certain very large prepared bases and briefly drops off cargo at places, but doesn't have the capability to remain there for any longer period of time unmanned.
It would have been better for Apple to switch between Intel and AMD whenever one is better than the other, than to go with the M-series, for the market and the end-user.

Most of the performance advantage of the M-series comes from exclusivity on the latest nodes; a significant part of the rest could have been done by asking Intel/AMD to put RAM in the package.

Magic the Gathering cards come to mind! Buying MTG cards from Amazon can be a little risky as there is a non zero chance of getting a box with already opened packs [0]. Customers buy the product, take the valuable cards out, reseal it and return to Amazon. Amazon just throws it in with the rest as they doesn't know how to properly check for tampering.

The point of explicit forum rules is more to control the mods than the users. Users don’t read them, they just pick up tacit knowledge from what gets moderated.

The most useful thing you could have in a CoC would be declaring who’s responsible for making decisions about it.
I'd imagine if the main purpose of the watch is to watch TV, I can wear it on the inside of the wrist, making it very comfortable to watch for a long time.

That's basically the position when I hold my phone in my left hand anyway.
>What keeps us living paycheck to paycheck is that we spend more than we make on stuff we don’t need.

This is still true, though. When I turned 40 in 1994, I decided I had lived with debt long enough. So I sold my plane. my boat and my 2nd house. In the next four years, I paid off the remaining mortgage on my 1st house and installments on my cars and credit cards. Was it hard? Yes, it was damn hard. It's like kicking a habit like a drug addiction, but the drug is easy credit.

I never went into debt again.
To anyone else (like me) wondering why the Mormons maintain a genealogy database:

> Mormons trace their family trees to find the names of ancestors who died without learning about the restored Mormon Gospel so that these relatives from past generations can be baptized by proxy in the temple. For Latter-day Saints, genealogy is a way to save more souls and strengthen the eternal family unit.

This rings true from what I've heard. I recently sat in on a call where some recruiters from Los Alamos National Lab were walking through how applicants must make sure they speak separately to how they meet every single one of a long list of job requirements, in excruciating and dumbed down detail.
#vanlife definitely has a tragedy of the commons problem.
Man that is so true about 35. I would say it's not about your prime but more about the fact it is the point where you have gained enough experience/wisdom but still retain enough risk tolerance that you can make big decisions about life and career that pay off in the long term. At 40 I'm a bit more defensive than I was at 35. I could not bootstrap 2 startups concurrently again today, 35 was the last time I could do that. Physical prime happened somewhere early 30s, mental prime is still probably ahead of me.
Android? They need to develop "repo" tool to use git. Similarly, Windows should be bigger (though it's closed source) so they develop VFSforGit tool.
And they wonder why they don’t get the best candidates.
I hear what you're saying, but text editing operations need to be sent over the network and saved on disk. We need a stable encoding, not just an in-memory reference.
In addition to familysearch.org, I'd recommend getting a DNA test from 23andMe or Ancestry. The relatives matching feature could give you additional leads.

DNA + genealogy is the only way to be certain of things.
Step foot into any climbing gym in the Bay Area, and at least 50% of the folks there are SWEs. Probably the same with improv groups. We're not that unique. ;)
According to Chuck Klosterman in his book on 'The Nineties' more people watched an average episode of Seinfeld than watch the finale of Game of Thrones or The Sopranos.

About the only thing that remains for mass audiences is sport. Even there on demand replays of sports are changing things.

Also don't best selling records or streams or whatever actually indicate far less revenue and a far smaller share of what people are listening to than they used to ?
Even if you did play a lot more games, Steam's Proton has come a really long way, for most of my library playing Windows games under Linux is seamless now and almost seamless in VR too.
All good points! I forgot to add in my original post but I also totally shop on Amazon as well; I just like eBay better. Another point for eBay is that you can combine shipping at all! Because you can see what else the seller has its easy to buy stuff that otherwise wouldn't be worth it without combined shipping.
In practical terms, never stop learning and keep savings for a solid runway.

If you ever find yourself somehow completely outside of what you need for core competencies, then step away from work and grind like crazy to get caught up.
This wasn't done to divide the community. This was done as a simple thank you and as Microsoft treats GitHub as a separate business entity, Microsoft almost certainly wasn't involved in this decision. 500k is small enough that this may not have even risen to a VP level for approval.

Change happens slowly. This is a small step in the right direction.
Right. And San Diego and surroundings (e.g. Oceanside) have always had a huge military presence, mostly because it's on the water.

I don't get it. If I still have to carry around a walkman-like thing, why bother with the watch? Why not put the screen on the walkman-like thing, and eliminate the wire through my sleeve?
Well, in those 30 years, I am certain that some well known international medical research laboratories, mobile operators and nuclear physics research centers fit the bill.
