What did Asians do? Were they involved in this taking of everything or should they just be clumped in as white because they don't meet the narrative that discrimination means you will be poor?
> "And this fails the other way too, where major believers in academic-level correctness agonize over details to such a degree that projects never ship, and sometimes never even start."

Anxiety paralysis. This is also why many people aren't too enthusiastic about the hottest new thing, and would prefer to stick with say, a language like C for low-level development. Experts in the field trying to push the boundaries aren't necessarily good examples for everyone else to follow.
Anyone who's studied NTSB reports knows this is almost always how they go; a single failure that is no problem becomes one because of some other issue that doesn't normally happen, or couldn't happen because normally a third thing is always done ...

If a customer is hostile, just sit with them for a minute or two, listen to them ranting, agree with everything they say. They're just venting their emotions, all their points are valid from an emotional point of view.

What do you want the cord ceo to do? Selling his cars directly is illegal, it’s just not an option at this point. He instituted a rule that says that the in demand cars have to be sold to the person that ordered them but dealerships essentially told him to fuck off. Now what?
So? The young kids will work more hours; I'll get more done.

I'll get more done because I won't create the bad architectures that they will. I won't write the bugs that they do. I won't head down the dead ends that they do. (Yes, I'll still do a few. They'll do enough more that I'll still finish ahead of them, even with working fewer hours.)
I would indeed say the trace viewer is more limited (I'm obviously biased) - especially when you compare the fact that we not only collect the telemetry but help integrate it into your workflow very easily (as opposed to setting up your own workflow via artifacts/S3 uploads in your CI pipeline) and the biggest being around aggregating these builds/statistics over time so that they're easily retrievable :)

You need a counter-cyclical business to really make that work however. And given how interconnected things are these days, what out there is counter-cyclical?
This is a very bad article. Frugality is a virtue, and stuff ways you down, so buying less makes sense.

- Once you start buying less, buying nicer makes sense.

- See how an iPad basic gives you 90% of the functionality for 30% of the cost? That's not a rational or helpful way to think about it. What's helpful is knowing how much $$$ the remaining 10% is worth. The decision should be similar if the numbers were all $1000 more. Is the Pro 12.9 worth $700 more? Odds are, if you're a business buying it for a SWE, yes it is. That's 1-2 hours of employee cost. If their productivity goes up by 1/10,000th, it's paid for itself in 1-2 years.

- In a business context, adding $1000 to this price is even fair, once you toss in purchasing, maintenance, etc.

- Space costs money. In places most SWEs live, or for business travellers, space and weight costs A LOT of money. When I was flying every week, I'd spend a lot of an item was a few percent lighter or a little bit more functional.

The way of doing this proposed, though, is horrible. The trick is to do a simple ROI every time.
I completely agree with what you say, it depends on the specific setup (specifically, whether a judge will consider that it was an employment relationship). My statement was in response to someone who was clearly describing an employment relationship:

Seems more like an attack with strong magnetic waves - which is one component used in Havana Syndrome and is used by terrorists with access to microwave weaponry to attack civilians, children included. Real time surveillance of everyone enables oddities like this. Privacy is dead.
I don't think this is an accurate assessment of the situation.

China's an export based economy that's going through a slowdown and still struggling with pandemic lockdowns. War would shut down the Taiwanese straight for shipping and it's one of their busiest export lanes in the world. It's not helping that their housing market is in pretty dire straights. So the CCP's not in super great water popularity wise (although sometimes wars can bring people together, I'm not sure that's as true with acts of aggression as it is with acts of defense).

China and the US are both heavily dependent on Taiwan for semiconductor manufacturing, especially for state of the art chips. War would shut China off from that tap. Those labs are incredibly advanced and not easy to rebuild. And the US dependence on those chips give the US a strong reason to defend Taiwan. Both countries are ramping up their own chip production in order to make this less of an issue but it's certainly the case at the moment.

An invasion across the Taiwanese straight _would not be a cakewalk_. China's military is certainly much stronger than it used to be, but at some point you need to move troops across that straight in greater numbers than jumping out of the back of bomber planes can provide. A mass landing is likely to result in huge casualties and may not be successful. The US has been arming Taiwan for decades now and it's certain they're planning for that cross channel invasion.

Anti-China sentiment in the US is fairly strong at the moment and the current US President has said the US would defend Taiwan. China will invade when the US is divided on the issue and thus more likely not to step up to the plate. Similarly, where the US goes it'll have help from its partners.

China's not in a great position at the moment, at the end of the day, despite a lot of rolling around on the ground trying to scratch for fleas the United States is still a pretty big dog in this world. And going toe to toe with it in something that's not a proxy war probably isn't something any regime has much appetite for.

That's my assessment at the moment.
I’m still confused as to why web3 hasn’t come up with an “undo transaction” when shit like this happens.
If you get sued and don't bother to show up to court, the judge will take the other side's word as gospel and you'll lose with a default judgment against you. This isn't unfair, though. Similarly, since these companies never give their side of the story, I see nothing unfair about assuming they're in the wrong.
I do really enjoy reading about these heists and it does seem like a lot of fun.
One of the things we've done is to conduct our first screening interview as a phone, rather than video, call. We found this helps eliminate some minor levels of bias related to physical appearance when forming that initial opinion, particularly because that first contact should be all about whether the base criteria is met.

I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo
Hey, author here, happy to answer any questions!

The logo was created for OctoSQL[0] and in the article you can find a lot of sample phrase-image combinations, as it describes the whole path (generation, variation, editing) I went down. Let me know what you think!

And btw. if you get access take a look at [1] before you start using it. A ton of useful bits and pieces for your phrases.

TLDR: DALL·E 2 is really cool, though takes quite a bit of work to arrive at a useful picture. Moreover, some types of images work better than others ("pencil sketch" is consistently awesome). As with programming, it's difficult to realize how much pieces you have to specify if you're not an artist - you don't know what you don't know.

On a big server, you would probably be running VMs rather than serving directly. And then it becomes easy to do most of what you're talking about - the big server is just a pool of resources from which to make small, single purpose VMs as you need them.
I don't think it reveals anything new about the balance of power. We know the USA is currently still the largest economy and we know China is in the ascendancy and is on course to dominate the coming decades. As for giving confidence to allies - East Asia in particular is all to aware of how far the USA is willing to go to advance its interests and ideology in the region, having fought (and lost) two conflicts there since WW2.

You seem to be brimming with pride at this gesture, I think this pride is misplaced. I hope nothing bad comes of this, but I cannot fathom the idea that increasing the chance of conflict with China being good let alone excellent.
> the source of the racial discrimination is college admissions and not centuries of violence and hatred is sad

They're both acts of prejudice on the basis of race. There's a view that there is some dimension of racism where racism in "one" direction can be negated by racism in the "other" direction. But this relies on a stable concept of race across time and space, which doesn't exist, because people mix and move and change how they identify.

> what happened before you were born does matter

I wasn't born in America. Neither were my Asian friends. Isn't it convenient that they're asked to bear the burden of America's heritage of slavery?

I think you’ve got a lot of soul searching to do if you legitimately believe affirmative action proponents support it in order to punish people.
BS.

It starts at kindergarten and before. Minority children should enter schools where they have a chance, with the resources to take advantage of that chance. But we don't. And here in California, blacks graduating high school on average only read as well as 8th grade blacks.

Attempting to create equality of outcome after that is a lost cause.

I can think of a dozen policies that would be more effective at helping blacks than discriminating against Asians at elite universities. My favorite example is that research says that homework provides little net benefit on average, but specifically hurts children in disadvantaged families where parents themselves lack the skills to help their children understand the material. Therefore dramatically reducing homework will help blacks. (And will also make families with teenagers much less stressful places.)
I would have thoughts the 'cyberpunks' chasing these would be completely outnumbered by state-backed information warfare groups.

Maybe they are... Perhaps this is the new way the CIA is financing their off the books activities.

That's not the way senior management sees it, though. They want asses on seats, they want to see people plugging through the night on the CEO's latest darling concept so that they feel important. They also don't give that much of a shit about bad architectures, they want something online tomorrow they can show investors and sell quickly.
or perhaps the upper class seeks to divide and rule the working class and so therefore initiated racial discriminating in hiring and admissions in order to further the divide and rule strategy?
> limited-time monopoly

If only... Copyright monopolists lobbied governments to the point they extended the duration of that monopoly to multiple lifetimes. About 5 years of copyright protection is more than enough for creators to make their money back and then some but for some reason these people saw the need for it to last centuries. Copyright is functionally infinite, we'll all probably die before the works we enjoyed enter the public domain.

In effect, we've all been robbed of our public domain rights. The social contract was: we'll all pretend the creator's works are scarce for a while so they can make money, and then it will enter the public domain. These monopolists aren't really keeping up their end of the bargain so why should we keep ours? The second we stop pretending, they're done.
It's not so much that no one is using it. It's more that the only people who are using it have dedicated engineers in the compiler team developing the tool who will dig through the compiler and figure out/fix bugs. Literally even within Intel, internal customers would have to fund head count in the compiler team in order to have a dedicated engineer who could support them in figuring out how to tailor their code for the compiler or fix the compiler to work with their code. And since that process involves hand-hacking the compiler it introduces far more bugs than it fixes.
The core infrastructure might have calcified long before s3 even existed, but yeah, these days that's a pretty good approach.
What's the market for this? Are parts of the US unable to electrify trains for some reason? Surely the easiest way to capture the carbon is not to emit it in the first place, and if you are going to emit it, you might as well do it in a stationary power plant.
It always amuses me whenever the crux of an argument is "too much X is bad", where the definition of "too much" is assumed to be commonly accepted, but when pressed for a definition it decays to precisely that amount for which X is bad (i.e. a tautological argument).
Landline phones are an example of centralized infrastructure. You don't own anything but your phone, and the landline company owns and manages the rest, and you can be cut off at any time. Landline vs. mobile isn't as different as you might think. The business model is the same (monthly subscription). The only difference is the lack of being physically tethered to your voice connection and of course the addition of data services.
You're not bearing any burden, as there are a lot of schools who aren't Yale that will accept you. This isn't the case for those who are benefiting from Affirmative Action.

For some, Yale is their only shot, due to the inherently racist nature of American society. Those people should get priority over people for whom this isn't the case.

If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the racists in American society that make these programs necessary. If it weren't for the objective fact that many minority groups in the US suffer on nearly every level when compared to others, these programs wouldn't be needed, but they do so they are.
Two projects I was trying to start at a FANG company were cancelled during inception because they were unlikely to meet diversity quotas. Not enough women, hispanics and african americans. My sub-field is so dominated by men that it would have been impossible to meet the quota without drastically lowering standards to the point the project wouldn't be viable anyway. It was a no-win situation and one of the main reasons I had to leave the FANG company and start my own small company.

Fortunately for me my competition are multi-nationals and they all went through the same diversity quota overhaul. I think their management just wanted more compliant cheaper devs. Big companies have a lot of inertia but they got so inefficient that they're now taking forever to come out with new tech. I'm slowly stealing their customers.
> I mentioned that younger people are less likely to have children, so they have more time to be devoted to work. I'm not sure why you are taking so much issue with what I said.

Because it's false?

This submission is about so-called "greybeards", i.e., people over 50. They are more likely to have had children at some point in their lives (perhaps 20 years earlier!) but actually less likely to have young children at home that would interfere with work time.

A 25 year old developer is much more likely to have a baby than a 55 year old developer, correct?
Science advances as RAM on a single machine increases.

For many years, genomics software was non-parallel and depending on having a lot of RAM- often a terabyte or more- to store data in big hash tables. Converting that to distributed computing was a major effort and to this day many people still just get a Big Server With Lots of Cores, RAM, and SSD.

Personally after many years of working wiht distributed, I absolutely enjoy working on a big fat server that I have all to myself.
Bank accounts ultimately put a hard cap on scaling infrastructure. Considering most folks use this service for free, I can't imagine they'd want to let those free users DDOS their bank account into bankruptcy.

Cloud infrastructure is expensive.
This just holds when you are b2b. If you’re serving end users, they don’t care about the contract, they care about their UX.
>GIS data can be 3D by the way. E.g. geojson uses an array for coordinates and the third position is reserved for altitude. It's just that a lot of GIS data sets don't include altitude information.

yes, its why I said relative positions and elevations.

>One interesting aspect of GIS data is that coordinates are not exact. They can be off by meters and misaligned with other data sets.

It often depends on relative projection etc. The coordinates are exact, but if you're getting them from a source with a relatively high inaccuracy they may just be wrong, or disagree with another data source. As I said, when it really matters a survey crew goes out and does things to a much higher degree of accuracy than 'a few meters', or a lidar scan takes very accurate measurements that are accurate to mm not meters.

The case in the article where they're looking at a construction site and making decisions based on the information would get a digital file from the survey crew based on a nearby survey benchmark, not from GPS. When using actual surveying tech based on GPS the accuracy is much higher than 'GPS', and errors in properly done surveys are something like 3 cm in 30km.

The issue is that people are using data not intended to make detailed plans, to make detailed plans, because they don't want to pay for surveying. When surveying is paid for, the map is accurate to millimeters not centimeters or meters as you say.

Tectonic plates shifting are unlikely to be a measurable issue in the overwhelming majority of projects unless you have very very long term projects that are very large, in which case the thermal expansion of materials is likely to make a much larger variability than any plate movement.
For context, there was a discussion recently regarding the change of the official (english) name of the country:

As opposed, to "many small servers" in every country? The vast majority of startups out there run out of a single AWS region with a CDN caching read-only content. You can apply the same CDN approach to a bare-metal server.
I think this story is telling of the damage Ford is trying to mitigate. The choice of dealerships to take advantage of demand to raise prices for short term gain is causing long term damage to brand loyalty and awareness.

I had a similar experience when Ford chose to discontinue all their sedans. I personally like an intermediate sedan for my daily driver - it's small enough to be fuel efficient and easy to drive, but large enough to hold 5 people and go touring in (not to mention fit me, a larger individual). When Ford stopped selling a sedan, I no longer became a customer interested in their products, even after having two previous Ford vehicles that I've been quite happy to own.

The difference between my experience and the experience above here, however, is that the car manufacturer receives the brunt of the hate, but holds very little responsibility for the actions that hate. Dealerships have been the villain in the car buying story ever since I could remember. They were the casino, and the house always wins. When you've played the villain for so long, I believe it's only natural for you to decide to become the best villain you can be.
Speaking from experience, there is no "full documentation" to release.
