@doomrobo Thanks for building this! I was about to start my own - vastly simpler - project to do something similar. But my (again, not-sophisticated) approach was to download daily/news articles from my RSS reader (nextcloud, really), pipe them through espeak (or some similar not great but local TTS tool)...and then queue them up for me to listen in my mobile podcast player (like during my morning commute to work, etc.). The intent was to automate this on a somewhat daily basis, such that, when i wake up, all my articles - again mostly news/daily content - would be ready and waiting for me. But, now thanks to you, I can just leverage what you have built (and maybe once i learn rust, submit contributions to your project too)! Thanks again for creating this, and cheers! :-)
I remember it as Eclipse taking over from Forte 4 Java, then NetBeans trying to regain share with various gimmicks, culminating with a fancy GUI layout tool that would have been excellent if it hadn't been exclusive to NetBeans.
Apologies, can you try the `frontend` stream and change the duration to last 7 days or so.
To the extent that they're both empires, I would suggest that Europe is in the US empire and not the Chinese empire.
Electrical slowdown in hybrids does not provide redundancy for emergency braking. The battery has to absorb like 500kWt during 1s, this is well outside what a small battery can do.
Apparently not. As a white guy I don't think it would really be appropriate for me to make a similar statement about other groups.
Because Google managers needed to create another product? They replaced it with YouTube Music
> I guess non-racist layoffs would mean not disproportionately laying off minority groups. So anti-racist layoffs would mean disproportionately laying off majority groups?

No, it almost certainly just means trying not to disproportionately lay off minority groups. You don't have to swing ist the neutral point and to immediately discriminate against the other side, you just need to stop discriminating.

I don't know why so many commenters assume that the only options are to be racist towards non-whites or to be racist against whites. There is a middle ground of just trying to not be racist at all. I imagine you could even come up with a term for it which would really clarify what the thing we're fighting against is, because otherwise people might think that it's trying to push whites down rather than stop pushing other people down. Maybe "anti-racist" would work.

Now… I would say they don't mean much.

Knowledge? Experience? NOW we're talkin.

As one other comment suggests, they help you get vendor status… but if you don't have the requisite knowledge to back up the paper, they're not worth the paper they're printed on.
There have already been examples given here. And also, that's absolutely untrue. Things have firsts.
IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4
I'm certainly curious to see how in-process sandboxing plays out with Spectre. Even the process boundary sometimes doesn't feel like enough, heavy handed as it may be. I wonder if there's a way to prove the absence of side channels by encoding side effects more directly and ensuring that those side effects never propagate across a boundary. The problem would probably be enumerating them... and then idk, everything has side effects to some degree, "the value was read, which caused a L cache line to flush" I guess it's probably not tractable.

I kind of, vaguely loosely, feel like running multiple 'workers' within a single process is just not a reasonable goal. Ultimately if you have a multi-tenant requirement you should be using separate processes and pinning them to separate physical CPUs, and hope that that is enough. Not to discourage this, I can't wait to look back in a decade and see how this all has changed.

edit: Also, there are other use cases. Like, maybe I'm a single tenant and I'm deploying multiple workers to a single VM. I trust myself, but it would still be nice to have it be hard for those boundaries to be violated - driving up the cost is sane.

It also sort of reminds me of the Sysiphean task of removing ROP gadgets from the Linux kernel.
> At a minimum I would consult with a lawyer

Which, if it turns out you cannot legally keep the money somehow, you just paid a ton of money for someone to basically tell you that you cannot have the money, so now you're paying money because Google sent you money.
Of course it's more trustworthy. It's money drawn on a regulated financial institution, not some random person's personal account.

And you can call a bank and verify that the cashier's check is valid, so fraud is impossible. Calling for verification is standard practice. And then you deposit that cashier's check at your own bank.

If banks stop accepting each other's cashier's checks, that means the entire financial system has basically collapsed and you've got bigger things to worry about.

I get that you had an issue with paperwork, and that sucks, but that has zero bearing on the trustworthiness of cashier's checks.

They don't have an app for MacOS or Linux, so for Mac and Linux users the web is the only way to watch.
College radio. Look up some famous college stations. They all stream and are awesomely curated. My choice is WFUV in New York, but there are many great ones.
> By this standard, a CEO would need decent expertise in every aspect of running their business, which as a business scales becomes impossible.

I didn't read that at all..

"A VP/Executive is a level above managing it, as they need to be managing managers..."

The 'higher ups' don't need to know how to do development, but they do need to know how to manager development managers - set priorities, provide assistance/blocking, etc. And the CEO would need to be someone who can manage those executives.

The 'domain expertise' is (mostly) expertise/experience in managing people managing other people/processes.

At least, that's what I got from the GP comment.
I mean, we had that with having DVD/BR players being separate from the media they play. But meanwhile I daily see people on this very site demand and applaud this kind of vertical consolidation and death of choice on every level.
Blizzard lost their entire RTS staff to Frost Giant and will likely never release another RTS again. Sure they can probably survive on lootboxes for Hearthstone and Overwatch, but it's not the company it was. Even WoW is basically dead and is just rehashing with classic. Diablo got turned into mobile lootbox garbage as well, and it's too early to tell if Diablo 4 is going to follow the same path, but I wouldn't hold out hope on it being a critical success.

Large game companies have now essentially become casinos.
Tried learning HTML/CSS through that site in 2006. Terrible experience, so I continued to use Dreamweaver for personal projects.

Tried learning again in 2014, after a career change: Excellent experience, so good that I go there first.

I simply did not grok responsive design until I read their article about floats and media queries. I was trying to get admitted into a bootcamp at the time, and my assignment was to recreate a landing page from a PNG image, without using Bootstrap or any other grid framework.

Most official sources of technical documentation online are written by and for developers, and assume a lot of prior knowledge. I never understood a lick of the official jQuery documentation either, until I went through W3schools section on it, and then later Jon Duckett's beautifully visual dead-tree book on JS and jQuery.
I don’t know about any of those problems, but my biggest gripe is that when I finish an episode it waits until the very end of the credits before letting me click the next episode. I’ve now resorted to going back to the menu and clicking the next episode manually.

And yes, I do have the setting checked to auto play the next episode.
> The cloud communications software builder has been striving for profitability in 2023, and the restructuring plan aims to improve operating margins, create a better selling capacity and reduce operating costs.

If you look at all the layoffs we had this year, the vast majority are by companies that are VC funded and unprofitable. It would be a scary time to work for a VC backed company, because you're one missed funding round away from getting kicked to the curb, and VC's seem to be clutching the funds in this economy.
Fear of a Black Hobbit
Reducing the number of engineers wouldn't have made the JSF, CVN-21, or DD-21 programs more successful. The designs largely met the customer requirements, and any technical failings were within normal expectations for innovative programs. The problems were more due to flawed customer requirements, funding limitations, and political decisions to move prematurely into production without adequate testing. For example, the DD-21 was primarily intended to provide naval gunfire support for amphibious assaults but it turns out that's no longer really needed at all.
I share lots of feelings towards NGINX that Cloudflare mention on this blog post. New features like 103 Early Hints and HTTP/3 exist in HAProxy and Caddy but there is nothing coming in NGINX.
I agree with others regarding the consistency across all streaming services as pretty disparate hard to use user experiences.

That said building for web, iOS, Android, consoles, PCs, macOS and so on means trying to be consistent for your service. Which then leads to issues & challenges, and less consistency with respect to competitors.

I’d be curious to know how often people tend to favor whichever service they used first, and how often people grow tired of services they really like for content but hate for subjectively bad user experience.
They're still using the original TF33 engine they were delivered with in 1961. Presumably the fan blades have been replaced many times over during maintenance, but I don't know if there's any advantage to switching to better blades if you don't change the operating parameters to take advantage of them.

There's a plan to replace all the engines with a modern turbofan (RR F130).
This is the most practical and likely-to-succeed response I've seen here so far.
> Every attempt to replace it has been (or will be) retired before its EOL.

Though that's probably because it's design is basically "big, boxy, utilitarian sky truck," which is so flexible you can always find something to use it for. Everything else seems to make tradeoffs for some flashy capability, which don't age as well.
I have been in a couple of orgs now where this was, in my view, a big problem because of ripple effects.

Let's say you're on Team A. You're making a thing. You do a little research, and your thing has this gigantic dependency that you hadn't initially considered, but it's work that for whatever reason Team A can't do. You don't have the resources or there's politics or something. But you're in luck! You manager asked around, and it turns out Team B made a thing that solves that gigantic dependency. Yay!

So you have a meeting with Team B, and they are weirdly evasive about their thing. Whatever, they gave you what you needed, and you spend a sprint or two integrating their thing with your thing. Except it's just not working as advertised. It just isn't. So you grab some time with a Team B engineer, just the two of you, and they admit that their thing was never really finished. The deadline from upper management was unreasonable, so they got it good enough to be demoable, and then called it quits because the next unreasonable feature demand was already on deck. This of course enabled by the fact that none of the managers had enough depth to know what was bullshit. (Or maybe they had a vested interest to their managers to sell it anyway, and so on until at some point the management chain loses the ability to smell bullshit.)

Well, shit. At this point you're up the creek because your manager already made an unreasonable commitment based on the advertised capabilities of Team B's thing. What do you do? Well, you sort of half-implement what you can, make it demoable, let your boss sell it up. Just like Team B did when they discovered Team C's thing was half-implemented.

If you are thinking about a big software company that keeps putting out shit products, now you know why.
Apple TV + on the computer is awful as well. Like they woke up brand new with no prior knowledge of how folks use streaming services at all.

And not just in the discovery phase, core play/pause, show me this show’s details page, okay next episode stuff.

Captive audience is a huge part of why they don’t improve, but you’d think some PMs over there would have pride in their work enough to fight for some basic quality of life improvements. Alas.
This is true, but in this instance a $250k payment likely negates all benefits you’d be eligible for either way.
Yeah, the author killed off most of the characters at the end, which was surprisingly realistic. More than one of the heros (and one of the villains) was a programmer too.
Lol, torrents or
finding DVDs are always the alternative for me. I want to support these companies but it’s so infuriating the way they treat users, even implicitly with the user experience. I have HBO which has been great. Criterion too.

Disney+, Zee5, ESPN+ were atrocious.
If a certain real estate firm was found to facilitate money laundering, it will be sanctioned and people arrested. If said firm would help North Korea to circumvent sanctions, consequences would be severe.

Tornado Cash and some people behind it were targeted, nobody made Crypto illegal.

It would be interesting to see if there is a distinction between review and acceptance statistics depending on timeframe.

For example, in fields where the peer-review is done primarily by academics are there better reviews during academic breaks vs. say, exam season? Does this translate to more accepted work because the reviewer can spend more time digesting the content?
Possibly within a 2-3x loop, just to be more faithful to the original.
V-Moda is a bit pricey, but I've had my Crossfade LP headphones for somewhere between 6 to 8 years. The cable is standard 3.5mm, detachable from the body of the headphones.

They also have a few accessories like a detachable cable with a mic on an arm, which I used for a while until I got a desktop mic. The carry case that came with the cans is also very nice.
Wind & solar are great for what they are, but they aren't dispatchable, and we're better using battery capacity for EVs rather than the grid.
Every time there is a discussion of EU regulating an American firm for anything, a comment like this appears. I am really puzzled, what is the cause for this blatant nationalism - as an American you will never see any of this money, it's probably headed for a tax heaven.

The hypocracy is blatant too, USA regulates every business on it's soil without hesitation, often with asine laws like the Jones act.

When France introduced 3% tax on tech giants, US government lost their shit. They can set 100% tax if they please, if you don't like it, don't trade in France.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48947922

I think US State Department is quite aware that EU is one of the few institutions that is roughly their peer in economy and trade wat capability. They don't want to kick a hornets nest.

All these CEO spounting the same line "its my fault"

> I take responsibility for those decisions,as well as the difficult decision to do this layoff.
> US-based banks may be trying to push staff in UK and European offices back to their desks, but they are meeting resistance ... “We’re hearing that in some cases they are getting less than 50% compliance and people are just not turning up,”

I've worked in a few banks in London including a US one and I can't imagine 50% of staff are not turning up to the office, particularly front office or sales. Perhaps 50% of IT might not come in for all their in-office days but I can't see many doing that unless their manager approved it (even informally) or are not enforcing it.
> they have monopoly

They have a monopoly over Disney content but they don’t have a monopoly over content. Most people, even kids, aren’t constantly watching Disney and if they debase the product by ruining the experience and continually opening up UX advantages for competitors they will erode their consumer base over time. I assume they know this and so the picture isn’t so bleak as you make out (pun not intended.) The reality is they’ve been shoveling money into Disney+ for several years and I’m guessing the quality issues are mainly down to how fast they moved rather than some Dickensian motives. AFAICT the UX quality has improved over time.
That competition has been massively curtailed by move to walled garden devices running iOS and Android. It's starting to be harder and harder for those alternatives to exist.

There have been several public calls for Apple/Google to ban and block VLC because it allows playback of pirated media. This pressure is just going to increase in the future as more people move away from desktop platforms.
I toggled that back when they added it. Netflix still does it for me. IDK if they reset it at some point or what, but it's bizarre that "make the UI not be legendarily terrible" is opt-in to begin with.
They have some good resources for obscure technologies, like XPath, but for the big ones like HTML/CSS/JS there's both the danger that they're out of date and not showing you what's new, while also possibly showing you old hacks and workarounds that are against modern best practice.

MDN is a better choice for (almost) anything MDN has content for.
Not the same scope, but I bought some photobooks from Google. They put a temp charge on my card, which isn't unusual, at checkout. Then it went away. And it went away for good. Happy for the free photobooks. ~$100 I didn't have to spend.
I wasn't able to get autoplay off on Netflix via Roku on one of my TVs.

I really am intrigued by this decision by Netflix. Some PM was probably able to tie autoplay to some metric, but I can't stand it. I wonder if their research showed that older users miss the UX of old-school TVs, where you flip channels and instantly see something playing, rather than having to navigate and select something with more intent.
You’re missing out.

It’s probably the best and easiest to use css/js/html reference site anywhere.

It's not about having them, it's about putting them on your Linkedin/CV.

I have read tons of tech books (many of them way better than certificates on the same topics). I do not list them on my Linkedin/CV.
I have nothing to hide BUT I need to know from others what they know from me to remain in a balance of power situation.

SO if Alphabet know what I'm doing I need to know equally what they are doing. In this case I have nothing to hide. If they know much about me and me nothing about them, then I have much to hide.

Knowledge is power. Power need to be balanced to be in peace.
I watched the talk now.

The last benchmark column touches 1gb of memory,while the second just allocates without modifying the memory, so I guess all that overhead is page table CoW mapping.

During QnA they also talk about exposing as many config calls as possible via uring.
> Monopolies are always about defining the market. Here they went with licensable OS market, purposely leaving out Apple entirely.

I find it bizarre they can slice and dice a market to a point where Android is a monopoly despite the face that competitors can fork Android for free and have done so eg. Huawei's HarmonyOS.

Would Google never licensing Android to EU firms have avoided this fine in the first place? I can't imagine they made that much money from EU business' licensing android.
I don't expect an answer. But it wasn't a rhetorical question. It's along the lines of "If you disagree with me or have evidence proving otherwise please offer it. I don't think you have such evidence but I am open to hearing it."

This is very unlike Your post which is full of malice. Yeah let's talk about our academic circles. I offer mine freely: UCLA. Not that great of a school honestly. It also depends on which department your in.

Now yours: UC Santa Barbara. You never offered it, yet I know it. So how smart is your academic bubble? I feel if it was bigger you'd be smarter about how you approach strangers on the internet. If you approach with malice, they can return your query with equal malice... or greater. Sometimes far greater.

It is forge-proof because it's standard practice to call the bank to verify it's legit.

If you're selling something valuable, cash can be counterfeit and you can be robbed. Cashier's check is standard and always possible, and I can't imagine why you wouldn't accept it. Wire is a good extra option but it's not always possible.
This kind of optimisation becomes more important as the parent process's address space grows e.g. a browser wanting to spawn a process per origin or even worse an in memory database spawning a tiny shell script as hook. The existing (v)fork()+exec() syscalls have to change the existing address space to copy on write which can involve shooting down TLB entries on all other CPU cores with IPIs (inter-processor interrupts) and setup new page tables for the child only to tear them down immediately and bring in a new executable. It also doesn't play nice with unified event loops implemented with the common epoll()/kqueue() etc. syscalls which is a problem for languages like go which depend on event loops for their runtimes.

Aside - with so much to choose from wrt logs and metrics - I'd assume "prometheus for logs" implied "pulling" log data (rather than push). While maybe "Victoria metrics for logs" might imply "easier to operate, efficient, fewer moving parts".

Why would you need a testing specific software build exist at all?

Or put differently what legitimate reason would you have for this if you’re trying to test existing safety feature?

Noting that no wrong doing has been found (yet) that seems to require a pretty immediate and credible answer
