1) GCP/AWS/Azure etc all do a lot of things. Hundreds of services each? It's tricky to build out a good UX that exposes everything they do; and different customers all have very different workflows.

2) For awhile Google wanted to move more new development onto GCP (an effort called "Google on Google"), but it had limited traction and has been abandoned AFAIK, because internal tooling, infrastructure, and devex was just so much better than what GCP had to offer.

Well, that's debatable. Yes, certainly right wing populists (who are often funded by billionaires and/or are so themselves) like to claim that working class people are socially conservative and that the "elite" are the ones that are trying to instigate social change, but there seems to be quite a mix of social views at all strata of society.
That's funny, I find the opposite to be true of the Dev tools. Chrome is missing features here and there to boot. They do have lighthouse or whatever they call it though, which can be useful to some.

I wish we just ditched the JS legacy and had a properly statically typed language, with dynamism as a layer on top (like e.g. "dynamic" in C#), rather than underpinning anything.

Which is what wasm will, hopefully, give us in the long run. And ensure that said PL will have to remain competitive against the new contenders, since they can always replace it.
Wow this article speaks to me. I was staying with an old friend on a visit up to Canada where I also grew up. I asked for coffee in the morning and he handed me a jar of Tim Hortons Instant coffee crystals and a kettle. He said he prefers it. I live in Palo Alto now and was used to picking up Blue Bottle every morning. Since that morning I switched to instant. I took home 15 jars of tim hortons instant coffee and have done so every visit back to Canada
>> “Things are going to break,” she said. “We have an aging fleet that’s being run harder than it’s ever been run.”

The conclusion that something will break just because it’s been run harder than ever is not based on “science and measurable facts”. Either the plants an grid are within their performance envelopes or they aren’t. These things are over provisioned precisely for these scenarios.

A meaningful statement would have been based on how close to design capacity they are at. Previous usage is completely irrelevant.
Fossil fuels are failing our very immediate need to stabilize climate change and survive for the next century. So yes, we should be considering other options, even if they’re not perfect.
That's a pretty disingenuous argument.

If you're in the business of providing power (or being a regulator of those providing power), then one of the things you need to be good at is predicting demand. You should be able to model various kinds of weather scenarios and their impact on electricity demand, and find out what the worst-case scenario is, and roughly how likely it is to occur. And then you can plan your capital expansion plans to be able to meet that future demand.

So if supply is struggling to meet demand, there are three possibilities. First, supply could be lower than forecast due to unforeseeable circumstances. Second, maybe things were worse than you forecast, and demand was unexpectedly high. However, we appear to be in the third possibility: you knew that supply was insufficient to meet demand, and you didn't care.

Texas seems to be regulating its grid to ensure low prices above all else, even at the expense of reliability of the electrical system. If you need 1000 MW of spare electrical generation capability, you need that whether your grid is mostly based on solar and wind or whether it's based on gas and coal. That the complaints are directed against renewables are I think because the renewables are undercutting fossil fuel plants, and the state is too cheap to ensure reliability--and the renewables are a more politically convenient scapegoat than the bad regulatory oversight currently in place.
I wasn't even talking specifically about vaccinations at all. There are so many examples of injustices caused by our leaders during the pandemic. An example of a group that was harmed was the Canadian first nation communities. They had their community centers and churches closed indefinitely, while Walmart got the keep all of their stores open.

Not just were people's lives ruined by sloppy and corrupt government pandemic policies, but communities were shattered. The rich got way richer, and working class people were thrown into poverty. And it was so avoidable. Our decision makers at different layers were either corrupt and using the pandemic a cover to profiteer and consolidate power, or they were just incompetent and didn't enact effective policy.

They should be held accountable. They should have to face some kind of justice. Again, look to how corporations that were found to be engaging in illegal pollution were dealt with as a good starting point. Assets should be seized, arrests made. Ideally trusts can be set up to try to repair the damage done to people and communities. People that concealed information about the pandemic should be arrested and tried.

Sounds like you have an axe to grind. Think about solutions instead of problems, nobody is asking you for anything. If the physics permits something to happen, if there’s a will there’s a way. If you don’t have the will there is never a way.
That's why they wrote "Anyone dedicated enough can de-compile that javascript..."

Meaning, effectively, it can be de-obfuscated into code with control flow that's readily understood by a human, even if it would take some patience and practice (and the right tools) to perform the de-obfuscation.

Re: the FreeSlots.com program, https://deobfuscate.io shows that most of the obfuscation is related to decoding characters per some algorithm of their devising and eventually eval'ing the string as a JS program. There are likely several tricky rounds of that technique (and others) used at layers within the obfuscated code.

If the FreeSlots devs are clever, then they likely have a scheme to randomly generate the code they want (producing their desired result in terms of odds), where the random part is w.r.t. how the obfuscation layers are composed. Done well, that could make it rather difficult to mechanically de-obfuscate their code changing over time, i.e. without a human intervening to help identify the distinct layers because... parsers are hard.

Yes, display long numbers. Exactly why this is not a sheet of paper - I can resize the columns all I need.

Just tested in LibreOffice calc: 30937930503010769238 is mangled to scientific notation: 3,09379305030108E+19 . If I change the format to anything (but it's already a generic number) than it becomes 30 937 930 503 010 800 000.00 or something. And if I change the format of the cell to the text it becomes... 3,09379305030108E+19 again.

And yes it's a number, though it doesn't get used as such in my case. If it was really used for anything of value - I would be really pissed for the 30k inaccuracy.
Working with google's APIs tends to be a nightmare too- varying authentication methods, documentation of various ages, etc. If you're not using their libraries it's a huge pain to my experience. (And their libraries aren't the easy sort of wrappers where you can just pluck logic out easily either a lot of the time)
Maybe it's changed since it's been a long time since I blocked all that stuff entirely, but I thought the idea was that websites collected a bunch of data about you, your browser, and your activities (using JS) which all gets sent back to google. Google processes that data and delivers analytics reporting back to the website owners. If google were also using the data they collected to generate a device fingerprint to compare against data collected and reported at other sites you would never know. That'd be in addition to them logging the sites you visited and when as well as your IP address and user agent which they get just by remotely hosting those scripts.

"soy" (or, sometimes, "soi" when used as a prefix) turning into a derogatory name for a liberal among a certain right-wing subculture has a really interesting (to me, at least) history to it.

Your list is interesting too -- I'd have claimed steak as a moderately right-wing food. Though it sorta depends. Filets, NY Strips, and Rib-eyes are pretty neutral, but T-Bone and Porterhouse steaks are more right-leaning.

Certainly, anything "intentionally vegan" is a left-wing food.

Chicken seems to be consumed by most everyone (as are eggs).

Anything with tofu or other soy product (except soy sauce) is probably left-wing unless it is a dish from a region which has historically used it (especially if the tofu is a substitute for meat) -- so, for example, Agedashi Tofu is politically neutral, as is something like Mapo Tofu, but an Americanized sweet and sour tofu would be a little bit left, and any kind of "tofu steaks" or anything where the soy is a meat replacement is farther-left.

Avocado is very slightly left. But, if you spread it on a toast with eggs, radishes, and microgreens making an Avocado Toast, it's now far-left.

There's all kinds of really interesting nuance out there on the subject of partisan foods.

Hey now, Jura (makes whisky) advertises on the Crooked Media Podcasts, so we can't accuse them of being right wing.

We’ve been having some extreme load shedding in South Africa for the past few weeks. It has been an ongoing problem since 2007 or 2008 but has been particularly bad this year.

We’re just coming out of a stretch of having the power off 3 times a day (either for 2.5 or occasionally 4.5 hours at a time.) I am relieved that the power is only going off once for two and a half hours tonight now that things have calmed down a bit. It has been stressful.

I think it's just very common in SEA. It's a self perpetuating problem too. When I see monocultural team photo (including gender), I don't apply for that team. Eventually the team fills up with people who don't care or actually love it.

One possibility is bringing up the benefits of a diverse team. First is holidays - nobody has to sacrifice Christmas/CNY/Eid/Diwali, because there's someone there who doesn't celebrate it.

More importantly is talent. Talent is not a commodity here. It's randomly distributed across different ethnic groups. Someone doesn't become a 10x-er by reading in only one language or hanging with a specific group of people. People on the high end of the talent scale tend to favor multicultural environments.
Well the point of proof of stake is that you don’t need the excessive wasted cpu power to prove transactions. So the whole concept of big expensive mining operations just evaporates for coins that use this.

Proof of work (bitcoin) will always have them though. The lower bitcoin price will just wipe out the viability of a lot of miners and hash rate will decrease globally. At that point the network will adjust the difficulty until the target block rate is reached with the remaining miners who can afford at that expected payout.

Google's internal tooling is too tightly coupled to Google's infrastructure, so GCP had to start from scratch on a lot of it.

Rather than force the teams who developed the original tooling inside Google to develop a similar public facing commercial product, they had GCP developers write parallel tools, or they bought third party tools and tried to integrate them. Both solutions proved not as easy as management had hoped.
It is. I made the mistake of selecting L instead of NPA when registering once, trying to get away from a bigger party.

They literally just sent me one piece of mail with every L candidate in local, state, and national elections printed out. No pictures, no hello, no platform. Just a creepy list of names.
It's in a weird situation in that GCP and internal tools aren't really unified, unlike people's (reasonable) expectation. GCP and internal stuffs shares a fair amount of underlying technical infrastructures but their developer facing endpoints are separated so chance for dogfooding GCP is fairly limited. To my knowledge there has been lots of attempts to solve this situation but you know migrating infrastructures of Google Search is not something trivial...
it is until it isn't. a statewide blackout during a heatwave mid election season is not a good time to tell people their shitty broken powergrid is actually better then the rest of the country that still has air conditioning and refrigeration.

I agree. My best memory during my school days is still the supreme satisfaction I had of implementing a complete gaussian elimination algorithm in assembly using only the puny number of registers in an 8051.
Acknowledging the failures of their ideologically motivated “independent” power grid that fails more easily under strain would be nice. Or retracting the assertion that power customers paying thousands of dollars to stay alive during a chill or a heat wave is “the system working as intended,” and instead saying “we need to improve this.” Anything like that might be a good start.
I’m a left leaning libertarian in a deep red state with many many friends and neighbors who are conservative, none of them are talking about keeping their guns clean “to kill democrats”.

The trick is, all these groups share their mailing lists. So you opt out of ActBlue, but they've already shared your email with the Obama 2008 campaign. Then you opt out of that, but it's too late because they've already shared your email with Hope PAC and the priorities USA superpac. So finally you've unsubscribed from all that BS, just in time for you to get emails from the Reelect Obama 2012 Committee

We talked about the top barriers of stopping people from riding an electric bike in our last blog. It is true that in some of the circumstances, ebikes may not be the most appropriate choices. However, everything has two sides and electric bikes are no exception. Continuing with the research by Portland State University, the reasons for falling in love with ebikes seems also quite common.

“To Avoid Traffic in My Car”

Obviously, it's the most popular factor for pushing people riding ebikes. Ebikes' small size determines that people can move freely and easily in traffic during the peak time, but please pay attention, safety is always the top priority. Approximately 25% of respondents admit that this is one of the reasons they prefer riding instead of driving a car.

“For Environmental Reasons”

Environmental issues have become extremely serious from this century. The continuous deterioration of the environment makes people realize the importance of low-carbon or carbon-free travel. Not only countries or organizations, every person should take responsibility for it. In the research, nearly 30% of respondents agree with this statement.

“It's A Cost Effective Form of Transportation”

As the situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate and increasing demand in summer, the gas price keeps breaking records. The gas price in California hit a record $6 a gallon and not many people can afford such a high gas price. Therefore, the battery-powered electric bike replaces the use of vehicles to some degree in the aspect of cost. This reason represented 43% of the respondents.

“To Ride with Less Effort”

One of the strongest parts that differs between regular bikes and electric bikes is the pedaling power assistance. People are able to ride with less effort and avoid sweat. Of course, some of them may argue that biking's main goal is exercising. But as our previous blog said, riding an ebike is also a useful way of exercise. Almost 60% of respondents choose riding electric bikes because of this reason.

We shouldn't be biased. As our last blog asked, Are the advantages of ebike greater than its shortages? We believe that everyone has their answer after reading this blog. Choosing the most suitable transportation way is the key.

My statement is quite clear. It's not a blanket statement that 'men are resilient'. It's that men are resilient to leaving tech jobs (and other well-paying jobs) because we're kind of forced to keep working by how families typically end up being set up. That is not a blanket statement that men are more resilient, which would be a statement saying that all male adults are more resilient than female adults, which is not categorically true.

not great, either. I doubt the government of California cares about Republicans, any more than Texas cares about Democrats. I wish we could each live in separate countries where we get to decide law for ourselves, in line with our respective values, without oppressing the other side.

Why not? Be more specific. The tree issue I believe could easily be fixed by broadcasting over a lower frequency that can penetrate more materials easy. Wi-Fi for example works at lower frequencies (2.5Ghz/5Ghz opposed to 12Ghz). This is more of a regulatory constraint. The effect could also minimized with more satellites.
