> I think people can mean either one by "giving in", I am wondering whether the OP, in rejecting "pretending I agree when I don't" is accidentally being the person who "always insists on getting their way every time".

Yes, it's possible that the OP is accidentally being a bully by insisting on getting their way every time. But it's also possible that everything the OP is saying is true, and the other party really is objectively wrong. Do you agree it's possible the OP is right?

I personally have encountered a situation where a tech lead repeatedly doubled down on idea that was objectively deeply flawed, but they had a lot of political capital, so management told me I just needed to "give in". Other engineers agreed with my assessment in private, but weren't willing to say so publicly.
Congratulation on the launch! Best wishes!
Would absolutely love to dive into it soon.

Here are some high level questions:

- How does it handle failure of individual tasks in the pipeline?
- What if the underlying jobs (e.g. training or dataset extraction or metrics evaluation) need to run outside the k8s cluster (e.g. running bare-metal, slurm, sagemaker, or even a separate k8s cluster)?
- How does caching work if multiple pipeline can share some common components (e.g. dataset extraction)?
> Imagine that being the standard.

You must have cognitive dissonance because it is the standard for children. Maybe in 100 years children will have the same rights as adults and people will feel exactly the same about us as you do about those olden days people.

That was the one where AT&T took a half $B of taxed money to build out fiber, but never lit it. Because nothing said they had to.
Dropbox is only available on Kobo Forma, Sage, and Elipsa. It isn't available in more popular Libra 2 or Aura HD.
The latest low end kindle response time is horrendous and the material is slippy.

I lost my paperwhite so replaced it last week and the quality has really really dipped. Also it was the cheapest kindle but cost more than I originally spent in my paperwhite…

I’m returning it next week when I finish my current book.
If I remember correctly, this story appeared in the original Hacker's Dictionary (published 1983). I don't have a copy of that book any more, but someone who does might be able to confirm.
Argumentation via hyperbole. The US lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan, so what.

There's zero indication that nuclear weapons are relevant.

80,000 casualties in 140 days is shocking and unsustainable for Russia.

If western accounts are correct, western military support is increasing the weapons imbalance, leading to greater Russian losses and fewer Ukrainian losses.

Finally, I'll point out that pundits have been calling doom for Ukraine from the start, and have all been wrong. So, the onus is on you at this point to "dive in and debate."

Or don't, and accept your downvotes lol. It's just social media.
All enterprise is, fam. Everything slows down and bureaucracy and politics take over. Watched it happen in real time at the last acquisition and have decided to only focus on startups for the next decade. There's way more speed, passion, and fulfillment..
Under the implementation in the Reddit app I use (BaconReader), links open in a webview that is an isolated instance of WebKit or whatever the safari engine is called. So already Reddit does not know what other sites I use. Reddit does not have access to the content of my normal safari instance.
> Someone wants to help me fix a bug? Cool! They got my code from GitHub and modified it. Now they want their changes to be merged into my version. They submit a pull request. A what? They want me to pull their code into mine? Why isn't it called a push request, where they request permission to push their changes into my maintained repository?

If you haven't given them push privileges to your repository, they can't push anything to it. That's why they have to request you to do it... And then it isn't a push, now is it? They're asking you to get code from their repo; that's a pull.

The larger issue is of course that many people never use the git CLI with remote repositories: Far, far too many think that "GitHub is git." Dunno if that's what's happened in your case: You write, "They got my code from GitHub..." If they'd got it from a git repo on your server directly, their "pull request" would consist of an e-mail or something asking you to check out their code, and then you would do that in your repository by typing a command literally starting with "git pull ..."
In the early days, when gold wasn't worthless, we used the carry players for gold, it was the equivalent to maybe $50-100/h?

I'd agree with that, we all make mistakes, and I could see myself groggily waking up to some text message like that and clicking through it before my full critical faculties have come online. The folks who clicked through thought they were doing what they should.

As regards reprimands - it does sound like a healthy culture, and I've seen and worked in thoroughly rotten environments with an equally rotten security culture.

One example that sticks out, I worked in a utility company where IT would install a laptop desk lock and tie it to your desk. Then security would come by at night a few weeks later, lift the desk and remove the lock and laptop. The kicker was then they would issue a reprimand to the person who owned the laptop for failing to secure it. This was pure security theatre so people could justify their role.
The American government dropped a science fiction bomb on two Japanese cities, invaded, and then dictated the rules of the Japanese state. They continue to have military bases on Japanese soil. Arrogant paternalism?
Getting started is probably the most difficult part. Once you get a bit of momentum, turning your hobby into a habit makes it "automatic" to progress further, and achieve your goals.

I break down the project to its minimum shippable product (since I build web apps, that's relatively doable). Having ridiculously fast CI/CD helps a lot here.

Once the first cut is released, I tend to iterate on it in two hour bursts (since that's all I have before work starts).

Almost nobody signs their zones with DNSSEC. On the Moz 500 list of most popular domains (is there a better list? I'd like to make this point more forcefully), I found just twenty-nine with DS records. Paypal and Salesforce are the only major tech firms that DNSSEC-sign their domains. The companies that don't include those with the largest, most competent security teams.

There have been years in the last several where DNSSEC has lost adoption.

Don't quote me on this though.
To be fair, Google Maps’ cycling and walking directions are also very sketchy.

I think driving directions are similar or slightly better in Apple Maps. But finding the place where you want to go is where Apple is behind. Misplaced, duplicate, missing POIs is what we learned to expect. Apple needs to find a way to motivate all kinds of businesses to put themselves and their opening hours on their map.

i wonder if choices amongst metamers might have secondary effects we don't know about...

like given two renders of the same image with different metamer selections, are there possibly subconscious impacts to mood or feeling between them. do different spectral envelopes that produce the same percept result in different demands or representations in the ventral stream which then could (or may not) manifest in nonobvious ways?
> one needs to apply some non-linear function of 3 arguments, providing 3 output numbers, in order to map the RGB/XYZ space to a space where a simple distance formula, e.g. the Euclidean distance or the Manhattan distance, can be used.

If there were such a function then the triangle inequality would hold on the original space.
If it is senior management, my best advice would be to make absolute sure that you give them a complete picture of the bottom line impact(i.e how much money will this take and how much money will it save for them). IMO if you focus on this you will almost always fall into buckets 1 and 2.

Might be a bit controversial, but if the audience isn't so tech savvy then you can leave out a lot of the technical jargon because once they approve a project it won't really be their problem. Them not asking you at the end about the tech specifics(which I understood in your comment as bucket 4) might not necessarily be a bad thing.

> You don’t have a fundamental right to moderate my growth, against my wishes — but I do have a fundamental right to seek growth.

No, neither is a fundamental right. Because both growth and degrowth as a national policy (or global international policy) has immense consequences on the opportunities and outcomes in peoples lives. Both stifle and regiment the lives and actions of people in a myriad of ways (climate change is a massive externality for everyone!), so anti-stifling arguments have no traction. The only arguments that can do real work will have to concern policy consequences: which policy yields better life outcomes in terms of health, wellbeing, longevity and so on.
I don't care about Ukraine nor who started it. It's none of our business. What I do care about is the supply chain going back to normal. Let's make peace with Russia.
I honestly think that Amazon can't fathom a world where you could end up with an AZW3 file that wasn't purchased, and therefore directly downloadable from, their store.
>This is the typical "improve society vs improve yourself" discourse.

Nah, it's more "improve society & improve yourself". ND people realize being "vs" and wiring their brains differently is not achievable, so NDs try to "soften the blow" to their own mental health by trying to make allistic people know how they work. Sharing is the first step towards understanding.

I switched to an Iphone 11 Pro last year after many years with Android, but I'm going back to Android when two years has passed (I'm on agreement to be able to switch every 2 years), although I would happily look into /e/ instead.
One and a half years with IOS has been a misery so far, due to lack of separate media volume the switch is almost always on silent - thus I regularly misses many calls. I feel shortage of RAM on IOS, and the way they have solved it is by having some form of pseudo multi tasking.
This sentence caught my eye:

Seriously - the misallocation of resources in areas of Google is insane. And then there are niches of the Google Cloud product that are seemingly woefully understaffed, or just negligent in their maintenance.

I was a gcloud customer for years, happily using the App Engine Flexible for a PHP apo. It wasn't perfect, but it did it's job autoscaling and managing a decent sized consumer app. For years there wasn't much like it in PHP land where you could get away with doing very little sysadmin/cloud arch and get the features they offered.

But then support just _stopped_ around 2 years ago.

The official docker images are still stuck on PHP 7.3 and there has been no updates or support for nearly 18 months in upgrading to 7.4, 8.0 or 8.1.. [1]

AppEngine wasn't some vaporware at gcloud, it was one of the OG products, yet their perfectly fine letting it just rot and officially support a version of PHP that's a year outside of security patches.

I was spending nearly $80k/yr on that product + the rest of the cloud spend that comes from tying yourself to a cloud vendor. But this issue was so bad that I invested the time migrating off appengine and google cloud to another vendor.

There are people internally assigned to this, but either complacency or lazyness or poor focus the details cost them a customer.

That didn’t seem to work very well for Covid.

People will find what suits them in the moment and go with that. We know that ISIS used the internet incredibly well to recruit with their propaganda, and it was exactly through things like YouTube that they build a large and international audience. So it’s not theory, it’s already happened. You can rely on just drowning out ideas, because the internet allows amplification for bad ideas to get more exposure than they naturally would otherwise.

While the title does sound a bit sensationalist the actual paper refers to a standard in the International Commission for Weights and Measures which is indeed (according to the paper) based on 100-year old paradigm introduced by Riemann and furthered by Helmholtz and Schrodinger.

From the abstract:

The scientific community generally agrees on the theory, introduced by Riemann and furthered by Helmholtz and Schrödinger, that perceived color space is not Euclidean but rather, a three-dimensional Riemannian space. We show that the principle of diminishing returns applies to human color perception. This means that large color differences cannot be derived by adding a series of small steps, and therefore, perceptual color space cannot be described by a Riemannian geometry.

> Git is simple, but it takes a lot of experience to appreciate its simplicity. So don't beat yourself up, git is hard and it's okay to be lost.

Yet another example of how, as so often in programming, the "KISS principle" ("Keep It Simple, Stupid") is deceptive: Simple isn't (at least not always) equal with easy.

But yeah, with a more well-thought-out set of commands it would have been a lot easier for a lot of people. I think it's just simply (heh!) that it was released a tad too early, before anyone had thought more deeply about keeping the syntax orthogonal, and the world's been stuck with those choices (largely, choices not made in the first place) ever since, for backwards compatibility.
Yes, they should get permission. A company logo is protected by trademarks and copyrights in almost all jursdictions. Companies do not like to see their logos splashed across their vendors' websites, case studies, presentations etc., without their legal/communications teams having a say over that. Most Fortune 500 companies would have this as a standard legal clause in their agreements and require that such requests be made in writing.

(This excludes public brand usage guidelines published by companies for including their logos eg: Social media links for FB, Goog, LinkedIn, Instagram etc., and they are covered by the separate terms of use there.)

Check your agreement with your client. If it has such a clause related to marketing material (social proof would fall under that), seek their permission as prescribed in your agreement. It may help to get your client liaison on your side by letting them know first.

Then wait.

It is quite possible that the client may not get back to you. In that case, err on the side of caution and DO NOT use the logo on your website/social proof page.

As an alternative, when we made presentations to a small room (of prospective clients, potential investors etc.,) we may include a Top clients roster slide with the logos but mark that specific slide as confidential and show it only within the room and never use it for broader distribution. This practice is easier for your legal team to clear if the parties in the room are under non-disclosure agreements. It may be okay in other circumstances; read the room and use your discretion.

Not a lawyer.

They only need to point the lasers at the next bird ahead and behind, and each packet just goes down if it can, or forward or backward according to which is closer to a downlink, unless it is for a special customer.

The main use for the lasers will be to offer super-low inter- and transcontinental latency to hedge funds paying thousands of times as much as a normal subscriber. They won't do anybody else but marine customers much good.

I'm not saying the current situation is better than your suggestion. I'm saying there are better ways to fix the current situation than your suggestion.

My idea of a better way would be:

* If you just need a boolean of success vs failure: use END_STREAM vs RST_STREAM.

* If you additionally need metadata of failure reason: use the existing length prefixes that gRPC has, and additionally add a bit to indicate data vs trailer. Then implement your own trailers inside the HTTP2 stream to indicate success vs failure and failure reason. Sure these trailers won't get HTTP2 compression like native HTTP2 trailers, but that shouldn't be a big problem.

Using 2 websockets would be confusing because things could arrive out of order from how they were sent. And one websocket could fail but not the other, leading to a confusing mixed state. The whole reason for trailers was to make failures less confusing by having error messages in them.

Also, using websockets goes against the whole gRPC design idea. They wanted native HTTP2. We don't need websockets to fix the problem, we just need to implement trailers inside the stream instead of using native HTTP2 trailers. Implementing trailers inside the stream can be done with native HTTP2 streams or with websockets inside HTTP2 streams. It's a smaller change from the current protocol to put the trailers inside the native HTTP2 stream than to add websockets to the mix then implement trailers inside that.

Then women: “It is important to be able to bypass all courts of law and be able to pronounce judgements at a whim, because a mother died after due process took too long.”

However, I wonder whether this is organized or organic. Is it an emergent property of population density, or is it determined by culture?

- 1 inhabitant/km2 = witch trials, tribe judgements,
- 10 hab/km2 = beginnings of court justice,
- 100 hab/km2 = politically-knee-jerk justice,
- 1000 hab/km2 = Chinese or Japanese-style justice

Or perhaps it is related to the age of the current country?
I've known autistic people and there was a strong tendency to reject what they don't want to hear.

I've also met a very autistic/aspergers person who would listen and consider (and there may be more than one, I just can't think of them ATM).

I've also met non-autistic people who simply can't listen or accept any kind of 'challenge' (as they perceive it). Not a few of the buggers either.

I've come to wonder if bloody-minded utter certitude is in fact a distinct and separate trait that has some positive, but not absolute, correlation with autism. Given the way my exposure to the autistic and the non-autistic-but-bull-headed run parallel sometimes but at others it diverges, perhaps that's a better description of what's going on. Maybe.
At uni professor was drawing inverse FFT of impulse response in a filter and he only used first few frequencies and then asked "can anybody see what's wrong with this chart?". We were all silent...

Turns out if you only use first few frequencies of FFT the filter output will look like it respond slightly before the signal arrives. It's a freaking time machine.

Hah, this is me with many interview questions, because you rarely ever get something like: "How would make a RESTful API to allow retrieving and changing some data from a PostgreSQL DB", instead it's just Leetcode problems that have (comparatively) little to do with the day to day, especially when you're expected to know, not look up the solution like you would normally. So there's not a lot that you can do, but just familiarize yourself with algorithms and ways to solve common problems and write plenty of code. :)

I imagine it's quite a lot like that in most specialized domains, be it solving physics or maths problems, or even using Excel for interesting use cases.
