I didn't have much issue with the process, it seemed like any other. A local business is a friend of mine, they were paying too much for too little from their previous web host/dev so I transferred the domain name to CF and ran their WordPress "business card" type site through a static site generator, placed all the files in GitHub, and pointed CF Pages at the repo. Whenever they want to make changes, they spin up the current state of WordPress in LocalWP, make the changes, I run it through the static site generator and push the files to GitHub. Takes them a few hours of messing around to get their content right and takes me 5-15 minutes to jamstack it to GitHub. Free hosting and cheap/simple DNS.
Just read any recent SEC regulatory action. You'll get things like:

* JPMorgan participated in an illicit scheme for a profit of 5M so they got a 200k fine

* Citadel engaged in fraudulent mislabelings of orders for a total of 280.000 actions of the same type over some three years, got a fine of 100k (for some 30cents/infraction).

* and so on and so forth.

Past a point, it's just the cost of doing business.

Some of the Amigas definitely have small lithium batteries that keep the NVRAM and real-time clock alive. These tend to leak rather often and the corrosive contents eat away PCB traces. So better double-check, I lost a Mac IIcx due to a leaking battery; luckily my NeXTs and the other Macs are fine (but need some recapping).
Me & my wife use microsoft's cloud service (due to our historical addition to Windows Phone OS).

Then it's being sync'ed to our home NAS, which is manually turned on and connected to the Internet once in a while (like once per month or so) - it has 2 HDDs connected as a RAID (so there's a 2nd copy of the 1st one).

Besides that, every year close to Chrismas we're sitting together and selecting photos from last year we would like to print for ourselves and our relatives (which are then put into the album).

When our cloud storage is close to 100%, we're just wiping everything there,as delete procedure does not sync into our NAS (it was configured like that on purpose).

You should be unhappy with the Russian government who are the ones enacting a genocide, not companies that either due to conscience, internal or external pressure, or sanctions, decide to boycott the whole of Russia. Being against war crimes is not a political stance.

I don't know about you, but my favorite part is the forced clearing of chat history after 24 hours, and I really appreciate that Microsoft has become so successful by giving job-justifying IT managers at Fortune-sized companies such fine-grained "security" controls over how their product is used internally.

Niantic and Pokemon Go are one of the biggest examples of fumbling the bag and missing the mark.

What people really want is a truly open world Pokemon game. Where you can train pokemon, battle strangers, win prizes. Pokemon Go had the open world, random Pokemon appearing, even an interesting capture mechanic... but no battling, no training, no story, too many microtransactions for little benefit. It could have been so much more and so much better. Nintendo's closest to this was Sword and Shield, but I'm not sure Nintendo has the internal will to really take Pokemon to that next level of WoW-like open world content.
I support minimum wages adjusting for inflation. Keep in mind most wage workers don’t pay taxes. And in fact actually receive credits which give them more back than they paid in. I’m not against that but it should be considered. If anything, include an inflation credit.

> “18-year-old child”

?? Legally an adult. Which leads to the obvious question of adult responsibilities. Do they have a job?

Other then that, what are this young adult’s alternatives? Outside activity may have costs they can not afford. Activities may be located far from home. Do they have adequate transportation choices? What are their friends doing? Are their friends online also? Or do they only have online friends? In which case they need community. Being online is a low-cost, easy option that’s hard to beat for a broke kid without a car.

Finally, if you want someone to make better choices for how they spend their time, you might need to spend time with them. Find things to do together. Invest your time in learning what interests them, and feed their curiosity. (Just don’t make it about guns, please.)

Yes. It’s possible, but short of kicking them out of the house, what can you do? Besides, as I recall there are not many things 18 yros do which aren’t to excess and prolly not good for them—-which beggars the question, is this behavior so bad?

GiveCampus (YC S15) Is Hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer
Whatever happened to the idea of Thorium reactors? It seems like this would be the ideal use for them.
While your burnout is understandable, I'd see the whole situation in a positive light: instead of treating complexity as someone else's problem, this forces the team to aim for simplicity. This kind of attitude is often in charge of more senior engineers, since they are the ones who most probably understand (or have lived through) all the possible nuances on wanting to rely on so many systems.

If I'd were in your shoes I would have ended up burned out too if I were given the responsibility of having to understand it all, but no mandate to simplify it as much as possible.
This is not true.

Most mainframe OSes have flat filesystems which do not have the concept of subdirectories.

They also do not use command switches.

The behaviour was almost certainly inherited from DEC TOPS-10:

> Having a team that communicates effectively and and is agile (in the normal sense of the word) and executes effectively is more important than strategy.

Hard disagree:

Those things are important, but I’ve seen teams with those qualities spin or fail to produce impact because they don’t have a strategy.

You need an objective and you need a plan to get there — “objectives and key results”.

Communication and agility allow for tactical changes in completing that strategy, which are important, but having no strategy will go nowhere.
Exercise is boring. And it is painful.

I've tried things like podcasts and TV - but it is hard to concentrate on them when exercising. Books are impossible to read even on a static bike.

But, even if the boredom problem were solvable - why would I do something which made me feel pain? I don't get the "runners' high" - I just feel sweaty and awful.

I don't want to compete in a league. I don't find competition a useful or healthy motivator.

If you could make pain free exercise which were entertaining, I'd certainly give it a go.

That could be linked to electrolyte balance. Depending on your water source, if it's too low in minerals it can flush out your system causing something like hyponatremia (low sodium), which can cause sleep issues.

That’s a good point. Of course installing solar on a rooftop has a small possibility of accident, and the energy produced on a single house is not that big. Multiply and you get … a big number, perhaps? Do you happen to have sources?
I’m surprised the regulations forbid lead-acid in favour of lithium.

Lead-acid can emit hydrogen during charging which is easy to get rid of with good ventilation. Worst-case scenario it produces a single explosion, hopefully in a utility room with not too much risk to life.

Lithium in contrast will give you very hot, unextinguishable fire.

Is this an average for newly signed rent, or for the average one already paid now? If former, it looks incredibly low. I mean, this is what you pay for an above-average (but not posh) place in East Europe capitals, and for pretty much average ones in old European cities like Paris or Munich.
Averages are skewed. Still.

You don't have to field this Q, as it seems fairly large. But perhaps you could point me to some sources of info (and if not, all good).

Basically, I'm super skeptical, and anyone who claims there will be use-cases often don't point to any projects. And the use-cases they offer seem to be easily dismantled (perhaps by a lack of vision and imagination and understanding on part of the critics).

But I do think that perhaps in 10-15 years, IF blockchain tech lasts, that it will become implemented to the point where people will be using it whether or not they know it.

But I also think that it can't gain mass adoption without a TON of infrastructure, because as is it just looks like it is piggybacking off of already existing tech (which is understandable).

All that being said... what infrastructure do you think needs to be set in place for mass adoption to gain traction, so that the tech is at all relevant to anyone and everyone?

There is some historical precedent for what you said. The first programming languages were assembly languages, which only have statements that you write one per line. You can sort of say that each instruction name is a "keyword".

mov eax ebx
jump 1235
xor eax eax

The first big programming language with expressions was Fortran. Its expressions were for mathematical formulas. Everything else was a statement that you still had to write one per line (and in under 80 columns, to fit in a punch card).

Part of the reason fortran was like this is that parsing algorithms were quite primitive. Ideas such as lexing, "tokens", and context-freem grammars, which are standard today, weren't common back then. For example both of the following were valid ways to start a loop in Fortran. Note the lack of whitespace in the second!

do i = 1, 10
doi = 1,10

Moving on, as compiler writers got better at parsing it became more popular to allow free formatting in programming languages. Instead of mandating one statement per line, use semicolons as statement terminators and let you format it as you see fit. Over time this led to a blurrying of the distinction between statement and expression. For example, in C and Javascript many things that used to be statements are now expressions (one notable example being assignments). This is taken the furthest in functional programming languages, where almost everything is an expression.
Fair enough, I misinterpreted GPs post. He and you are obviously correct.
I think it also depends on the system you’re using it on. I think one of the biggest advantages of DDB is that is scales so well (with good design to avoid hot partitions). Afaik, RDBMS simply cannot scale in the same way due to their design. Yes, they can scale somewhat, but as you said it requires lots of tuning, and you’ll still reach a hardish limit.

I actually recommend against excessively complex git tricks. It's an extremely useful tool but, at times, can lead to bikeshedding.

It is definitely worth learning git skills in response to specific tasks you wish to complete though.

Regarding your situation, command line git has its uses. A big benefit can be when you're working on a mouseless environment, or want to set up personal scripts. In those cases, you should learn the command line git as needed.
I don't think there's enough information to make that assertion there.
Right Stephen. Feel free to formally resign from Adjoint Inc. and take the job at the SEC and actually do something to 'destroy' all of these cryptocurrencies and crypto projects.

Since many even believe that his own absolute arguments about the 'collapse' of every crypto project, it somehow refuses to completely go away and all of them getting totally shut down. After all these years it is still 'alive'.

But at the same time, not all of these crypto projects will survive in the long term. Not even his own blockchain venture 'Adjoint Inc.' survived either as they shutdown all their commercial projects.

No wonder he not only doesn't want to disclose that failure, but wants to be the most vocal and very absolute critic of the cryptocurrency industry and have it totally destroyed (good luck with that).

The problem is that the only absolute is that there are none and making absolute arguments age very poorly.

That's the thing I notice when I see people complaining about Windows choosing to update itself: I get the feeling people just don't want to reboot their machine for five minutes every week. For at least 80% of the comments I read, I'm pretty sure these people would never apply updates if they had the opportunity to.

Sure, Windows update takes a while, but it's still so much better than whatever the hell Apple is doing. Despite the fact that I abhor removing the possibility to choose what your device does when, I think forced automatic updates are net win for computer users worldwide.

In fact, I suspect Microsoft may need to be even more forceful, because even though consumer Windows rebooted itself at the time, wannacry and friends still managed to spread across the globe using an exploit that had been patched in an important security updates months before.

Yes! Maybe I think of it this way because I'm over 50. I originally worked on System/370 assembler and Fortran at IBM.
Not really. Easy calculation using historical data on electricity production and consumption reveals that accepting 50% marginal loss factor (that is, level of renewables penetration on which 50% of power produced by the marginal - "last added" unit will be lost because there is no demand when it is produced), 80% of renewables can be provided with no storage and 90%, with quite minimal, easy to achieve storage, with no need for hydrogen. Which seems to be confirmed by recent Germany data when 50% of renewables has been achieved with effectively no storage and under 10% marginal loss rate.

If you really want 100% renewables, not 90%, then yes, it becomes tricky, but here hydrogen provides a solution.
