> Well, lets start off by admitting to ourselves that guys like Elijah Wood and Sean Astin in particular (heck, probably even Viggo Mortensen, at least in the USA) didn't really have strong resumes before Fellowship. As a kid, I don't think I could have told you who Orlando Bloom was before LOTR -- because he wasn't anybody.

I agree with what you said largely, but not Viggo Mortensen

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001557/

Viggo was in a number of shows that would have American audiences familiar with his acting skills far before 2001.

I like the movies and enjoy watching them, some parts are masterpieces but some not so much.
The "real world" counterpoint to this somewhat abstract notion is that even if FedEx wanted to build on-prem, there is not enough cloud ai talent in the universe to meet future demand. It's not just their pref for academic sanctuary, it's that there simply aren't enough cloud architects & AI PhD's with experience at AWS scale. It's hard. Choice is an illusion. GCP AutoML, Tableau, Bubble. Way simpler to train fresh grads via cloud native tooling, than from the cli (the way we did things) ;)

I think the digital transformation to watch is the US Government's IRS Tax Cloud. Never been into taxation law & policy wonkery myself, but Tax Cloud is purported to Save Trillions in TCO!

By a few people - likely. But enough to justify investing half a billion into show production ?
Good to know, thanks. I didn't know much about ZigBee so did some reading - seemed it's used for things like smart locks so I was pessimistic about it being very accessible.

Glad I mentioned it here, I now have a steer in the right direction - thanks.
>Taking chances on creative endeavors is one of the great things people do for others in this world.

I totally agree... but $465 million? That's one hell of a chance.
IIRC there was a central registry of religion in the Netherlands that had the same effect. Can't find anything on that now, though (it's mentioned in Wikipedia in an unsourced paragraph; I think I first read about it on HN, actually).

Tangent: the info pages on the Anne Frank House site have sections cycling through different pastel background colours.[0] I've wondered before whether something like that would the brain acquire context in a long page, making comprehension more like that of a physical book. Seeing it implemented, it doesn't seem to help. I think being able to easily flip to a previous page and back was one of the advantages of printed paper, so maybe a sticky TOC with the same colours or a minimap scrollbar would allow that? Actually, why not have that standard in browsers?

Hmm, the concept of coloured sections was known in 2013 already.[1]

My brother and his wife both are doctors in the UK. At 400k you earn about the same pay as 3 or 4 doctors there. https://www.bmj.com/careers/article/the-complete-guide-to-nh.... To me that is a lot of money. I realize lots of tech wages are crazy high too, I dont understand that either.
> Yeah but you’re assuming the programmers who worked on this don’t make dumb mistakes like the rest of us.

Yeah but this isn't just a "dumb mistake".

It's been widely discussed in the web design world how terrible of an idea it is to use the user agent for basically anything at all for literally decades now. There are web designers working now who were not born when this problem was first discussed. It's not a "oops I didn't know about this recent change" thing, it's a "doing this has been known to be a bad idea for so long there are obsolete books that talk about it".

The reason browser user agents are the disaster area they are today is entirely because bad web programmers have been abusing the user agent in ways they shouldn't be for so long.
Black Americans have lower average educational levels and net worth than other Americans. They are probably more likely to be victims of a crypto scam, and less likely to afford being scammed. Promotion of crypto targeting black Americans has been irresponsible.
Even in CS we call it "loose coupling". There is no no-coupling.

I agree with you, that the hype train "cloud = total freedom" (whatever that means) is rubbish. More and more it seems, that a cloud model is just yet another option between Mainframe, AWS, Google Cloud etc.
> Of course they should make some effort to ensure there is competition.

My guess is, we'll rather see some consolidation, like in every other segment. Which also means considerable expenses for the remaining players, who will experience increasing need to regain some by pricing. As theses players are sharing roughly the same boat, this will show quite naturally some characteristics of an oligopoly. At the same time, self-managed infrastructure will have become a rarity and costs of reintegration are prohibitive, which should allow for some elasticity in market prices. Also, any investments towards reintegration won't show results during the turn of current management, minimizing chances for this to happen, yet again. (This is not a level playfield anymore.)
Ah, I should update my profile description.

Thanks :)
All of them? For 5 times?
This is my best information. It really isn't all one or the other.

I've created 3 products thus far. One is abandoned as failed. One is currently flirting with profitability with about 30 paying customers, there is definitely a positive market signal here, and I'm trying to take it to the next level. The other is an MVP, but it is apparently still missing bits to give it a real go in the market, so it needs more investment. All of my products are B2C.

I've also been working at small businesses for years and have built several products that are not mine. Mostly MVPs style products, but also some more ambitious projects. Mostly I've been the solo dev, but occasionally I run a team. These have also been, largely, marketplace failures. Some have seen success.

I've been really living and working micro-saas for about 3-4 years as both founder and dev. I feel like I've trained my instincts correctly. I WILL make this work, even if I have to build #4, #5, and #6.
This is an ideal project for managers whose end of year bonus is linked to immediate cost savings. Who cares if it costs FedEx more in the long run?
I'm in corp land and this to me reads as the CIO using external PR to push internal agendas.

Are they really going to close all their on-prem datacenters in the next 2 years? Maybe.

More likely, this is a way to build momentum around the transition to cloud. Not a bad strategy, and not uncommon from what I've seen in the enterprise.
Good God can someone come up with a unique or at least mildly novel idea? I'm getting sick of seeing remakes and spinoffs of classic franchises or series that absolutely disrespect the originals by pumping out some garbage ass show that will somehow last longer than a season.
I mean... yes. There's plenty of bad unattributed journalism out there that don't do this of course, but... attribution has been a standard of good journalism for many years before the internet existed. This is not some new obscure requirement.

That is of course more about journalistic standards and good practice. In terms of the law, IANAL but I don't think attribution is strictly required for Fair Use usage (e.g. reportage). Only for functional usage (e.g. providing maps to be used as maps).
The upside is that your manager gets constructive feedback and improves from it, making your life as an employee better.

Not all managers respond well to feedback, but if you have a good one and you're constructive it can produce real improvements
Souvenir iPad?
> rent all information infrastructure

Most of them were renting most of the infra anyway:

- Co-location (physical space rented)

- Managed service to keep the lights on (power, back-up generators)

- Leased hardware that gets replaced every 3 years

- Managed service for switch, firewall, etc. monitoring

- ISP, back-up generators, etc.

> but that will likely be many, many years down the road

They're going to explain to their future bosses that buying land, building a huge building, buying servers, figuring out cooling, setting up redundant ISPs, etc. etc. is somehow going to be smarter? Explain that one to me?
Not really. Time to service depends on SLA and redundancy. If you have no redundancy your time to service must be less or equal than your SLA. If you have redundancy it can be longer.
Doubtful. That'd massively upend the customer relationship. Can you imagine getting locked out of your phone over an unpaid $20 bill?

>4) Do I like the configuration of things that are harder to change (package manager, init system, hotplug deamon, display manager, standard root dirs etc.)

Gotta say - if you're worried about the package manager, init system, hotplug daemon, standard root directories, etc ... you should be building your own distro from scratch :)

None of those things matter from a technical standpoint (I know - people miss init.d, but I have yet to hear a real reason as to WHY they miss it (beyond the, "well in MY day we walked uphill on broken glass in the snow both ways - and we LIKED it!" responses))

You're not even going to see differences in standard root directories unless you're looking for /etc/httpd and you need to go to /etc/apache2 instead (I've been running Ubuntu on my servers for a few years, and still manage to try to cd into the RHEL/CentOS structure sometimes ... but that's easy enough to correct when you get the error message reminding you you're not on Red Hat anymore) - but how often are you really monkeying around where the specific directory structure even matters?
By my understanding, the LHC isn't doing anything different from what's happening in the upper atmosphere every microsecond, when solar rays are hitting the Earth; except that the LHC is much lower energy than some of those collisions.
Agree completely. People seem to imagine they are more than a very large DFA.
> We don't know how far we can push it.

Like all things in science has any stopped to think if we should push it?
Which brings me to probably most misunderstood of Jesus teachings: "turning the other cheek". People usually interpret it as a call to pacifism - do not respond to violence with more violence. What people miss is that for Jesus contemporaries being slapped in the face hardly counted as violence (if it happens between two adult men it is really hard to cause any lasting damage this way). Instead, slap in the face would be considered an insult, and the meaning of "turn the other cheek" phrase is pretty similar to "stick and stones" saying - don't unnecessarily escalate from insult to violence.
But none of those had a budget this out of wack, that is the point being made here.
They would rather get a government bailout and then pay their execs bonuses and keep paying the little people peanuts.

Not as many as svn or cvs for sure. That's part of why it became popular. There was a job title "merge master" - literally there were people who's job was to handle merging in various feature branches. If you didn't have this person you risked days or even weeks of downtime because no one could use the central server without risk of making the situation worse. You would regularly open a file and find your work had been stomped on because one person added a small doc fix in their version of a file and merged it after your work went in, but the vcs didn't really merge, it just overwrote.

I'm not saying it can't be better - clearly it can.

Just pointing out that one person spending a little time unfucking a branch is massively superior to everyone not being able to work because that same person fucked up everyone's branches.

>2) Are the packages I want available and up to date?

This is the only factor that you might want to consider (ultimately, it's what pushed me from RHEL/CentOS to Ubuntu ... fresher PHP packages for a handful of websites I or friends run on my webservers)

If it's a desktop distro, they're all going to be "available and up to date" (that - or you've got a dead distro) :)

All RPGs, to a first approximation, are fantasies of agency. That is: your character can make a difference.

(If your character can't make a difference, it really isn't much fun.)

The strangest thing I see in today's young roleplayers is how they stick to a single system -- D&D 5e -- obsessively. Different systems are good at different aspects of storytelling, and the occasional attempts at universally-applicable rules (GURPS, I'm looking at you) tend to be mediocre at everything. A really good GM can overcome this, but you shouldn't need to depend on having a really good GM in order to have a successful game.

On the other hand, every lesson learned from this article is applicable across games and genres and media types.
I'm not even sure if "typically no" is justified here. We don't know what dark matter is, but we do know that it appears that there's a lot of it out there. You could definitely do some math and maybe if you were really clever about it relate the quantity of it that exists to exclude some particular energy range of interactions, but I don't think that's been done.
If 540p is unwatchable for you, you need glasses.
>Back around 2015, it was that, switching out characters as black. Fine.

That's what the GP is complaining about.

And I don't get why that rates a "Fine". What's wrong with race neutral casting?

> 2022 it's something much more sinister. It's the entire postmodern philosophy mixed with equity forced into stories. LOTR is about good and evil and the triumph of good. It doesn't dismantle what good or evil is, it doesn't question everything, it's just a great story.

You can't look at Tolkein's life and the LOTR and then just call it a great story. You can see the echoes of his personal experience in the work. It's no different than today.
> How do Italy people get animes? Through some online subscription service (like US's crunchyroll) or cable?

When I was a kid they were just broadcast on normal national TV. In the morning we'd have some kid friendly shows (like pingu, power rangers, etc) then we'd go to school and come back around lunch time and we'd get to watch Sailor Moon, Dragonball, One Piece, etc (depending on your generation, in order those were the big 3 "main" ones from 80s, 90s, and 00s kids). Every day we'd get new episodes (unlike in Japan where each series is weekly), so it became a part of a shared cultural phenomenon. We had lots of toys and we'd play with our friends and every day we'd discuss the previous day's episodes. For the more "grown up" kids (teenagers and up) you'd get more mature shows like Hokuto no Ken, Evangelion, etc on a different channel, not cable (it later became MTV channel) and those were usually weekly rather than daily. At least I remember watching GTO, Evangelion, Trigun, etc every Tuesday evening from 9pm to midnight.

I only realized they were "Japanese anime" by the time I was a young teenager watching Evangelion because that's when I started having access to the internet and my friends and I would look up lore and hypothetical storylines of the show and we'd stumble upon English and sometimes Japanese websites. Until then everything was properly dubbed in Italian, names of characters and shows translated/adapted to Italian, the songs (OP and ED) were sung in Italian as brand new original songs, etc so most people don't even realize they are "Japanese anime". We wouldn't make a difference between Sailor Moon or Tom and Jerry as far as country of origin went.

These days though I imagine most people watch them online using viz or netflix or similar sites, but I don't live in Italy anymore and most of my friends just pirate stuff so I don't know.

"X sucks too!" is very rarely any kind of a defense at all. What does that have to do with Microsoft's behavior?

If you excuse bad behavior because there's a WhatAbout distraction, no criticism of anything will ever be valid.

This will make last 2 seasons of GoT seem like War and Peace. That trailer.. Read books probably 5-6 times, read Silmarillion(!), watched the movies probably 10 times, even watched Hobbit twice(that was painful). Only tattoos I have are in Cirth..

As someone who bought CoreUI, hopefully this isn't it. Nearly non-existent support despite a paid support tier, dead forums, straight up broken components with the justification being "I'm fixing it in 4.0, ETA is 6-12 months." I'm sorry but if your production build is broken, "I'm fixing it next year" is a completely unacceptable response.

[Python-Django/React-Node Fullstack Developer]
If you are looking for a technical architect for consultation or a full stack developer, who can help you with development, you have reached the right place. My goal is to make sure that my clients are 100% satisfied with the work that I perform and that their solutions are built to increase usability, revenues, and user experience. I can guarantee that the time you spend talking to me will be worth it!
Imo, Google Apps Script is the simplest (fully hosted/serverless, JavaScript SDK, integrated scheduler and mailer, Google Sheets integration) that I've come across so far for building low-code scripted tools, and cheapest too (free).

I'm also reasonably sure other factors also influence these algorithms. Hair style, framing, lighting, the clothes found on your shoulders, angle, distortion by the camera lens, and most importantly, similarity to high-scoring faces in the source data set.
I have no problem with my manager being more technical than me or being better at what I do, as long as they don't try to do my job instead of theirs.

If they are actively trying to do my job then by all means stop being my manager and become my peer instead.
Now that the UK is returning to the sacred guineas/crowns/quid/pounds/shillings/farthings/pence system, these "p" coins will be worthless, won't they? Shame, but then it also doesn't make sense to honor a rational scientist like Turing or Hawking with an irrational, medieval unit of money either. Can't have it both ways.
At some point Microsoft (who no longer support the IDE) will also stop supporting the VB runtime, and companies will have no choice but to convert those old apps.

I doubt if there will ever be a VB6 revival.

I think they should focus on 100% compatibility, and 64bit code generation.

Perhaps allow the new Apps to connect to modern cloud services instead of MS access, or on premises SQL, preferably without anyone having to touch any code.

Also some kind of project analysis and auto-documentation so the new developers can understand what the project does, would be useful.
Try all the ones that interest you, stick with what you like. After distrohopping for a while I landed on Fedora. I prefer it slightly to OpenSUSE but that is a good option too.
Covid is a good excuse to wear a mask, and pair it with a set of mirror sun glasses in public.

puzzling framing - every country is entitled to handle is public health in its own way especially if that way is also the best way to suppress the spread to everyone else.

Additionally, as hospitalisations again start to rise in Europe and US, we are still no further forward to herd immunity as 'let it rip' approach effectively drives further evolution of the virus.

If the the popular vote mattered you'd have a point. The system in place attempts to balance the concerns of different areas instead of giving a veto to large cities.
We got rid of all IAM users used by applications and moved to role-based access. Nowhere in the application do you need to enter AWS credentials. AWS SDK will attempt to discover short-lived credentials for you and will assume the role specified at the infrastructure layer, e.g. in a task definition.
