They've been lying and ripping off customers while obstructing the German internet infrastructure for profit since they've been privatized.

jQuery and the many plug-ins people wrote for it were amazing.

What was not amazing was the manner in which many projects utilized them.
I'd think IoT-related services (especially an entire gateway) would have years-long deprecation schedules, not a single year. If you coupled your product to cloud-based updates only (no companion app stuff), then this means your unsold inventory right now has a timer to be sold until it's dead and requires shipping back for manual updating.
> we babied it a lot

While that is generally the advice, in my experience you're much better off treating them somewhat carelessly. The main thing is to not clean them too much, and to not let them stay wet. The seasoning happens with regular use. With a new pan you want to let it stay on the heat a bit after use so the oil has some time to stick to the pan properly. After the third or fourth time using it it should start getting pretty anti-stick, until then just use a metal spatula to dig stuff out of the pan.
I do not see why caste based discrimination should be legal given the current law, but high caste people have powerful positions in these important companies. They are politically connected. It may take a while for the case law and EEO machinery to put a stop to it.
Yes, it's probably because this is a proven business model and if you niche-down enough, you will be able to serve the audience better than the bigger competitors.

The biggest problem though is still bootstrapping the demand side (job seekers) of the platform (supply side is fairly easy, as you can even handpick the initial jobs).

We (https://swissdevjobs.ch & https://devitjobs.uk) started with articles how to migrate from other countries to find a job in Switzerland / UK and at some point the organic traffic picked up (but it also took years, as in the case of japan-dev).
I hate cookie banners.
> It's not an engineering problem.

It kind of is.

Back in the day Firefox managed to steal a significant chunk of Internet Explorer's marketshare just by being better.

It can pull off the same nowadays - there's a major disease currently plaguing the web that a browser is perfectly positioned to eradicate: advertising. The code is already written and licensed permissively (uBlock Origin) and all they need is to bundle it (just like they are currently bundling Pocket).

That's the ticket to Firefox's resurgence - be better than the competition in a way that the competition can't beat (because it would be counter-productive to their advertising-based business model). A simple side-by-side comparison of a major newspaper's homepage in FF vs Chrome will sell it to the masses.
My opinion is if you are going to propose read all the f-ng 800 pages of "Анна Каренина" just to have a talk on marriage, then you have to admit that you have nothing to say. There are a lot of way more interesting books on the topic which may fit in 800 pages altogether.
I don't know if this was a keynote or something but the article feels like it spoiled the punchline (somewhat expecting the keynote to have an unassuming title like "hacking farmware for the greater good", describing the hack, and then booting that gloriously modded doom as the absolute punchline)

But I wonder if the (sad sad) punchline is buried in the tweets:

> Sick Codes has jailbroken a John Deere, and this is just the beginning. Turns out our entire food system is built on outdated, unpatched Linux and Windows CE hardware with LTE modems.

Decades of such nonsense on commodity routers yet still preventing users access "for security" and regulatory approval, same circus all over again, except with a bunch of metric tons of metal on wheels instead of a RF emitting plastic box.

I'm half jokingly waiting for mysterious crop circles to remotely deface fields anytime soon.
Yeah line of credit would do the trick though. Then once you have cleared the hoop use it to invest!
> Does any browser cache the parsing, tokenizing and built AST of Javascript libraries between website visits?

From a quick googling, yes, at least some of them. (TIL):

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1096907/do-browsers-pars...

>> The third time (i.e. a hot run), Chrome takes both the file and the file’s metadata from the cache, and hands both to V8. V8 deserializes the metadata and can skip compilation.

— https://v8.dev/blog/code-caching-for-dev

> Also, I don't visit UK government websites that often -- so I'd suspect I am "cold cache" whenever I do.

For first visit with given browser and profile (or incognito mode), sure.

But if you visit more than single page during same session, you probably have more than a "cold cache". That measured page mentioned in the article seems to be guidepost with only most important excerpt of the content, so it seems plausible you would "click around a bit" from there.
A cursory googling suggests DCMA takedowns would take 1 day, 72 hours, or up to 10 days on various websites/services. If the law does not mandate it be that fast, then Heroku and Hetzner's alleged actions of less than 2 hours notice would indeed be tortuous and interference with business. They are backbones for businesses, they are not twitter.
The only con-like thing about Tesla is the so-called full self driving. Apart from that, just overvalued.
I've tracked down the root cause: I needed to disable two uBlock Filters in order to successfully load the page: Fanboy's Annoyance and Fanboy's Social. It seems that they block some JS related to social buttons (https://japan-dev.com/assets/socialButton.9ddbb1cc.js) and that makes the rest of JS responsible for the rest of the page to not execute (due to a failed request).

Sorry for the false flag.

> So I guess the issue is that the compatibility is not user friendly ?

I don't understand this point -- this is like claiming Linux has perfect ABI compatibility because at the end of the day you can run your software under a VM or a container. Of course everything has perfect compatibility if you go out of your way using old installations or emulation layers -- people under Windows actually install the Wine DX9 libraries since they have better compatibility than the native MS ones. But this means nilch for Windows' ABI compatibility record (or lack thereof).
Yes, but essentially no-one tries to do a high weight overhead press without training. If anything, most people are less likely to even touch a barbell because it looks like "serious work".

For most adult men lifting the bar (44lbs, so almost 50) above their head after studying the form is not "injurious".
Clearly, a much better solution to the ownership problem than The Blockchain, as it has survived for over 400 years.
That's just different niche. I assume that you work in trading based on the word "multicast".

What Google needs is "Big+Cheaper" datacenters, and it has to work with codes written by 100000 different mere morals. What you described is in the "Small+Expensive" field, but with extreme worst-case performance demand.

"Big+Expensive" = Supercomputer
"Small+Cheaper" = ??? (Note that the Big+Cheaper solutions not necessarily work for this, as you can't amortize and ignore one-time R&D/ops cost anymore)

Ah Mailchimp. The king of terrible customer service.

I was their paid client some years ago, never have I treated as badly (though Convertkit came a close 2nd). People keep recommending Mailchimp, when they are one of the worst companies for support.

And funny to see big million dollar corps are treated the same way us plebs are-- at least Mailchimp dont discriminate!
I'm using a salted hash to calculate unique visitors. The cleartext IP is never captured or stored and is only available because it's required to return a response.

What is the right amount of information to share? Most users won't care but others will. I want to simplify rather than complicate. Finding balance is difficult.
I first had the DE title 7 years ago (going into it having never heard of DE), and have been doing MLE/platform work for the past 5. You’re projecting your limited experience onto a poorly defined role that varies wildly from company to company. My experience is much different from yours: little firefighting, lots of actual building. Yes there is infrastructure, but any good programmer these days should be able to stand up some basic infrastructure.

Yes, don’t get into it if you want to do ML research or apply ML, but if you are interested a bit in it and find building models the least creative, most boring shit ever like I do, and prefer traditional coding, it’s a nice spot to be in.
Mozilla conquered a significant chunk of Internet Explorer's marketshare back in the day despite the latter being the preinstalled default.

The problem isn't just defaults, it's that Mozilla isn't giving people enough reasons to actually switch. A stock Firefox install isn't going to give you any major benefits over Chrome, and the only benefit (ad-blocking - but with an extension you need to install manually) isn't something Mozilla is looking to capitalise on.

Mozilla can win over the masses in one day by just embedding uBlock Origin and using that fact in their PR and marketing - no bullshit useless features such as "Colorways" or Pocket, no dubious social justice/political activism, instead, just say "the web sucks and Firefox makes it tolerable" with a side-by-side comparison of FF vs a stock browser on a popular newspaper's website.

There is a short period between network start and VPN start where all the microsoft thingies start and want me to login again. As their SMSes sometimes take hours to arrive, it is more easye to just kill and restart them, and let them reuse their existing login.

So I dropped the batch above on my desktop, and click it while the VPN is starting up. In the 4 seconds it takes to kill everything, the network works as it should.
WeWork is not a unicorn. It's just an office space real estate company. It always has been. It's a profitable space, for sure, but there is going to be no "40x" nonsense.
I'm also perplexed. A16z can't be plain stupid and throw good money after bad - they must know something. Externally, WeWork and Neumann seem extremely toxic, so I'm very curious to learn what that thing is.
You'd be surprised how quickly someone with very little muscle mass can put a little bit on. It gets harder to keep adding once you've started.
Their lobbying and squeezing every single cent they could get out of legacy copper infrastructure which was too be replaced in the early eighties until today held back Germany's internet infrastructure and competition for decades.
The market only trends to maximum efficiency if information is sufficiently cheap for enough participants.

Most people have no cost-effective way to find out how long an appliance will last, so the market cannot find the most efficient lifetime for appliances.
As mentioned before, a circular buffer with the last items moved to main memory could work (and was apparently already done on several CPUs). You have basically n registers, if it gets full you just override the last (which could have already been saved to ram out of order). Repeated popping can reintroduce these back.
> How many people consciously make an informed choice about which browser they use, to begin with?

Agreed, very little. It doesn't mean privacy isn't important for Firefox right now because the only users they have left are those using it for privacy or ideological reasons.
Do you have a reason that extends beyond preference? Is the result worth the price?
Is there at some point a link to the claim that DT policies apply to their subsidiaries? I wouldn’t assume they do, but at least I’d like to read about that.

jQuery is more convenient to use than vanilla JS. Vanilla JS is too verbose. If only jQuery was modular and didn't require to load 300 or 400 Kb of code.

Also it is difficult to find non-jQuery library of a good quality. For example, I was looking for a small library to send and receive JSON via HTTP, and ended up writing my own wrapper around XMLHttpRequest (fetch() is a poor choice, it is not supported well in older browsers and it has no advantages, and fetch() requests cannot be aborted) because there was no good library for this. Other libraries either do not support all necessary browsers or are overengineered and too large.

Yeah, that has become largely a non-issue, all the alloc structure allow for fallible allocation now via a separated function call (and the old ones simply use the new one with an unwrap() call to panic on error).

Rust is entirely fine working with custom allocation stuff, there isn't any hidden allocator calls in you can make (well, the box operator, but that has been nightly forever and likely won't appear outside the stdlib ever).

This is tough. I dislike tracking but approve of analytics. Without data, websites cannot improve. Without improvements we'd only have Craigslists.

In your opinion, is there a way to balance the need for feedback with respect for the user? What might that solution look like? Do you have any absolute demands?
I feel like they will go the same way as people who had their jobs replaced - or improved - by automation. I mean at the moment they can expand their portfolio with AI-generated artwork and sell it across their existing customer base.
My snide remark is Google the hive mind doesn't understand what a customer is. As in someone who in return for you promising to do something on an ongoing basis will give you money. Googlers react to that as if a street hustler is trying to get them to play three-card monte.

More likely they have the same problem Intel had. Intel had a lucrative impossible to replicate business in processors. As a result they regularly abandoned one market segment after another because they couldn't get the gross margin they expected. Googles doing the same exact thing.

Other problem is googles business is backwards in that they set the requirements out for what they'll do not the supposed see above customer. All these other business ventures have customers with strict demands that they want met.

At the end he said a certain cohort of users, but how many users were actually in that cohort? JQuery is an older technology. I find it hard to believe something made to work on older hardware / internet is affecting performance that much. We have 5G and stupid fast chips in phones now. I’m skeptical. Performance issues are usually database queries or code compiling / “waking up” some server function.
Depends on the job.You wil notice it becomes (exponentially) harder and harder every year past 35-39'ísh unless you can stand out in some way beyond being a (wathever quality) commodity developer. Both employers and clients like ém young and mallable.

Typically you would aim for team leadership or architect roles before 40, unless you prefer the option of being an embedded IT technical role in a non-IT industry, usually specialized in 'legacy' technology.

Of course everyone's carreer is different and there are exceptions, but for the median person that is the trend.
Yeah, definitely not a fan of that naming either. Altough, I'd write that down more towards marketing being, well, marketing, rather than actual maliciousness.
The vast majority of sites work with some defaults (mainly CDNs), and it stops almost all 3rd party tracking. The minor inconvenience of sometimes having to whitelist some stuff is acceptable to me.

A basic ( and not at all! ) approach to know if it is funny for you
Ah, I was arguing BLAS et. al. are effectively non-reimplementable (I'm aware of ATLAS and OpenBLAS, but I'd argue they demonstrate that it's a rare thing to be able to do). I would expect if people aren't willing to use existing tools like conda, then they understand they're going to need to put in the hard yards setting up a proper build environment.

Presumably if people want to build everything from scratch, then they know how to set up a correct build environment, and know that they need trustworthy libraries which are numerically correct, rather than a library which hasn't been as rigorously vetted which in a easier-to-install language. If not, I'd be curious what they would do with security/cryptographic libraries, would they be happy with someone's custom SHA256 library that they'd knocked up to avoid needing to install openssl for example.

I guess I expect people to treat numerical libraries in the same way as security/cryptographic libraries, as there's just as much subtlety in how those libraries need to be implemented.

'We lose money on replacing the entire motherboard for 3 cents under cost whenever any minor thing goes wrong but make bank on refurbished computers with a single resistor that had gone bad which we get for free for some reason'
Now this is interesting. I've always found it fascinating that when profit is on the table, democracy is nowhere to be found. I've looked, not too hard TBH, for essays and literature discussing the correlations to business model management structures and government/nation political hierarchies - not education level (propaganda), but critical analysis. I've been an employee of several of the top corporations on our planet, and the idea that corruption is not rampant is a farce. One simply lives within the environmental constraints and leaves when it gets to be too much. Does caring about corporate (and the larger realm of ethics) cast one incompatible with a modern corporate hierarchy?
What doubts are those? What atmospheric changes? And can you share with us which particular cultural differences and lingustic drifts you mean?

This is quite clever. I had tried a simpler version of this a few years back on AWS using LVM cache[1], attached SSD disks (for the cache) and EBS volumes (for the persistent storage). For our workloads (big data processing with Hadoop/Hive), the performance benefit was not significant, so we dropped it.
