Yeah, IBM is one company that shows how to push the models down the road. They do take their legacy seriously.
Less than ICE anyway. Who wants to talk about gas cars burning? It's so frequent journalists won't report them. But Teslas? Oh, my.
People already charge at night because that is currently when power is cheaper. They'd switch if they can and it becomes cheaper.

We already see this to some extent, as people with free workplace charging often choose that over home charging when possible.
As an extension of my non-addictive mindset, I have never touched Factorio in the same way that I have no interest in trying crack.

It’s very much an agreement on compensation. Most of the time we trade salary for equity early on. Looks like you are late in the game so typically expect less. With vesting schedule it’s also a way to make sure you retain talent. I would ask myself what value do I bring to the table? Am I easily replaceable?

Have you had a discussion with the founders?
I bet that lady would be pretty amped up about the streaming video quality. And all the Bill Clinton saxophone videos she could watch on there.

Most non-US countries are very aware of tax cuts because they can see the impact of it immediately in currency drops.

In America, tax cuts lead to inflation but only a year or two late. We are suffering now and blaming everything but the tax cuts and handouts for companies.
It's not that the statistics are wrong, it's that you can't apply statistics to prove this at all. Specifically because the person you're analyzing knows all about chess. They know that a super strong weird move will just expose them, so instead they're going to pick lines that just slightly increase their strength. This is like the statistical analyses that show election rigging by highlighting a statistically improbable distribution of results - that analysis works if the person rigging the election doesn't consider the statistical analysis when they're doing their cheating, it is completely avoidable if you cheat competently.

Which brings us back to a sort of basic question - if this guy is cheating, do we think he's doing it fairly competently or not? If he's not cheating, the statistics will show normal play, if he is cheating and he's fairly competent the statistics will show normal play. So what has this analysis done? It's proved that he's not totally incompetent, which we already knew because he's pretty well established as a good chess player even he isn't truly a 2700ELO.
They could fork and alter only this part of the code and likely manage pulling from upstream with very few people.

Even easier if there's a shared open source fork. My company did it with 2 people
DNSSEC has a very clear specification a few widespread implementations. What you are talking about fit to those?

Are you really making FUD about it, by claiming unrelated logical fallacies in a non-boolean discussion? How does a "no true Scotsman" even applies to something that has a published standard?

I know you don't like it, yet, I have never seen any proposal that brings you the assurances DNSSEC brings. AFAIK, your favorites all wither solve different problems (relevant problems, yes, but not the same) or have strictly lower assurances (AKA, they are subject to the exact same flaws, and are either worse or not better of for each one of them).
You can’t come up with the topics yourself either, because the topics you will think up are different based on your demographic / type of person you are, and ad networks basically try to guess that.
Well put. I am the same way.

I view it as the vector of my past experiences and knowledge. Though, I do have to be careful not to conflate gut with excess of any emotion ex. greed, hope etc. I am also carefully aware of when the "rules of the game" might be changing but that might be the "data" you are describing.
> The irony here is that Youtube videos from ten years ago are still alive and well.

Do videos survive account deletion ?

In particular, GDPR has provisions about deleting account info after years of inactivity, and Youtube is apparently not an exception (https://qr.ae/pv9o9j)

So except the chunk of accounts that will stay active for the years to come, a big part of youtube videos should be disappearing progressively.
Definitely simpler. You could just "View source" and understand everything.

Yes, fast Wi-Fi is a challenge with the BSDs. That said, the venerable OpenBSD supports 11ac for some chipsets.
> In software, I've seen repeatedly how new hires with big ideas (and youthful confidence that they know a better way of doing things) will come into a company and want to rewrite things "properly."

In my experience, these new hires are right a certain percentage of the time, and wrong a certain percentage of the time. I can take no default position here.

I tell new hires that they're gonna see something that offends their sensibilities about the way code should be written. That puts them in the center of a conflict. On the one hand, they believe the code should be written differently. On the other hand, someone else wrote the code that way for a reason. Their first step is to dig in and figure out the reasons on both sides--why it was written one way, why they think it should be written another. The second step is to figure out what the consequences and risks are of making changes or not making changes.

The way I think about it, I want to simultaneously keep the software working, and protect the "flame" that new engineers have to improve things--something which can be all too easily extinguished.
No, because Dalvik (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)) / ART (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Runtime) are forks of Java. New features need to be re-implemented due to licensing issues. And Google seems to be focussed more on Kotlin than on newer Java features.
For all the hype, that is less true than it appears. A lot of EV owners pay annual fees and also sales taxes on power. On top of that, the most popular EVs in the US aren't subsidized in every state.

My comment is US-centric, but in the US the adoption isn't really regulatory driven. The regulations are following reality while the politicians try to position themselves as "leaders".

...Mission accomplished?
It seems Fly.io originally focused on Elixir, but has identified the product-market need for app server + Postgres.

We didn't know about Fly.io when we chose GCP for this setup.

The initial setup on GCP was exceedingly painful. We used CloudRun for our app server, with the value prop being that "it just works". It didn't. Our container failed to start with zero logs from our servers. Stackdriver was of no help. Eventually we found a Stackoverflow thread revealing that CloudRun didn't like Docker images built from Macs. As always, GCP's official docs and resources are incoherent. GCP docs address a hundred things you don't care about, and the signal-to-noise percentage is in the low teens, if we're being generous. We had to chase down half a dozen bureaucratic things to get our CloudRun app to see and talk to CloudSQL. Apparently with Fly.io, you just run a command to provision Postgres, and pass in an environment variable to your app.

We consoled ourselves that GCP was difficult to setup but now it's set-and-forget. This is also a lie. This week we saw elevated and unexplained 5xx. First was CloudRun randomly disconnecting from CloudSQL. As AWS measures reliability in terms of 9s, the way GCP DevRel responded to this bug is that this is a distributed system and therefore acceptable that things just fail a reliably human-reproducable 1%+ error rate.
Yesterday we saw botnet traffic scanning for vulnerabilities on our app. This happens if you're on the web, not inherently GCP's fault. We have GCP's Cloud Load balancer setup but it's not very smart. We were able to manually block specific IP addresses but it's no where as meaningful as Cloudflare. Not a fan of Cloudflare the company but their products address a need. The botnet somehow knocked over our "Serverless VPC connection" to CloudSQL. Basically what that is is a proxy server that you are forced to setup because CloudRun can't actually talk to cloudSQL. All the auto-scaling claims of GCP's serverless are diminished if we are forced to introduce a single point of failures like this in the loop. That serverless VPC connection requires a minimum of 2+ VMs, so the scale-to-zero of CloudRun is no more.

Our experience with GCP is constantly having to come up with workarounds and addressing their accidental complexity. This should not be the customer's problem. For example, CloudSQL doesn't have an interface to query your databases. If you use a private IP for security, you can't even use GCP's command line tools to access this. We found out that GCE VMs are automatically networked to talk to CloudSQL. We ended up creating a "bastion" GCE VM instance and setup Postgres CLI tools in order to do ad-hoc queries of our DB state. For this, we just needed to the cheapest VM but GCP makes even this difficult. As for Stackdriver, it's still been an annoyingly painful UI.
Wouldn't that increase charging queue times for the poor?
No reference to amass?
Maybe some day!
But current materials science doesn’t have anything like that. It’s not usually about physical hole size, but rather electrostatic attraction (in the case of HEPA filters) or adsorption (in the case of activated carbon). There’s no “hole” to open to let things drop out. It’s a surface that things are somewhat bonded to.
You'd think by now there would be a opensource dashboard aggregating all these.

Sadly, we have all seen these promises, "X makes Y much easier" but you cannot make complex things easy without removing lots of functionality.

Kubernetes for the basics is actually pretty easy despite what people say, I got a fairly simple cluster running with little pain but...it doesn't take long before you want multiple clusters, or vlan peering, or customising the DNS or.... and that is when it becomes complex.

What will fly.io do? Probably what everyone else does, starts simple, becomes popular and then caves in to the deluge of feature requests until they end up with an Azure/AWS/GCP clone. If it stays simple, lots of people will say that you will outgrow it quickly and need something else, if you increase functionality, you lose your USP of making infrastructure easy.

I think perhaps the abstractions are the problem, if you are abstracting at the same level as everyone else e.g. docker images, orchestration etc. then I don't understand how it can ever work differently.

To make my point, the very first comment below (above?) is about container format, a really fundamental thing that noobs are not likely to know about, they will just immediately have some kind of error.
Firefox’s decline has been in progress for a long time, starting when Google deployed billions of dollars of Chrome ads and pushing users of Gmail, YouTube, etc. to switch, and as people moved onto mobile devices where Firefox couldn’t run (iOS) or was at a disadvantage competing with the OS developer (everything else). Don’t forget things like the video wars where Google made a promise to drop H.264 support in the name of openness, let Firefox suffer the compatibility hit, and then retracted that promise.

Mozilla has made some bad decisions but we should acknowledge that a fair fraction of them were also flailing around trying to recover from those competitors’ actions. I don’t think Firefox OS would have happened if, for example, iOS allowed a real browser market.
If you're regularly committing a certain percentage of your car's battery capacity to powering your house, wouldn't it make more sense to just have a stationary battery at home? Otherwise you can't rely on that extra range in your car if you need it to power your home anyway, and you're just spending extra energy carrying around extra battery weight in your car every day.
There are, and they're finally getting cheap!

$4-5 USD per unit really isn't bad (plus power supply and resistors or controllers) compared to what they were a few years back.

This isn't an advanced feature, it's just how to effectively block modern ads and ad networks will just rely on techniques that can't be blocked now.
Have you watched YouTube much in the past week? They've overhauled their ad frequency. Videos are now starting with two unskippable ads and ads are now being displayed at a frequency of about every 5 minutes of content.
Well, in those case other languages fail.

Either silently with overflows, usually leading to security exploits, or by crashing.

So in either case you are betting that these cases are somewhere between rare and non-existent, particularly for your core/performance intensive code.

Being somewhat slower, probably in very isolated contexts (60-62 bits is quite a bit to overflow), but always correct seems like the better tradeoff.

YMMV. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm sorry, but the Feynman reference may be a little misleading. With respect, it is difficult to imagine Richard Feynman putting "I sent the information to the recipient via the internet, but I hope they didn't read it" in the same category as "no way they could know; must be telepathy."

Exactly. Until people in the US develop the political will for change, technologically driven improvement in cars is the best way to reduce the damage.
Shouldn't it be an opportunity to match energy generation to how it's consumed? No industry survives long by offering a worse product to consumers than what they had before

What's missing from these paragraphs is a measurement of actual productivity, not just perceived productivity.

I've noticed that the periodicals section at drugstores and airports have shifted to 'evergreen' type of content as well. I've seen special issues on Beatles, Bob Dylan, Cure and Nirvana with tons of high-quality pictures and trivia.

I actually have a music fanzine about of my own, focused on 1990s shoegaze [0]. Certainly not 'luxury media' by any means, more of a visual, in-print collage of my writing and research on the subject. A lot of that era never made it into the internet age, and what is documented online is not far away from 404-ing into the great beyond.

Loads of small companies will give out titles like CTO when the position is like what OP said, a "better paid senior developer position". Honestly that is all this position is, a bit higher rank senior developer position. It's more likely his role is manager.

It's been well over a decade since Google has been anything like a scrappy startup. What surprised me about this incident, however, was that Google flat-out robbed me and apparently does not care one iota about their reputation or the goodwill of their user base. The message to me could not have been clearer: WE STOLE YOUR MONEY, NOW FUCK OFF.

Well, for that you'd probably use a specialisation of Integer that's bounded and can thus be represented in a machine word.

OMG, no, it's "END TO END." That means WHATEVER I NEED IT TO MEAN. Even if the provider promised they ARE using my messages to target ads, THAT NEEDS TO NOT BE HAPPENING.

I got jumped walking my bull mastiff.

One guy wrapped me up from behind with my arms pinned to my sides. He was beyond fat and we fell with his full body weight slamming on top of me.

While he held me I was kicked from both sides of my head repeatedly.

I went out for a few seconds and came to laughing(wheezing), while they were rifling through my pockets. This got me a few more kicks.

I was laughing because had they picked literally any other time I'd walked Tinkerbell they would have gotten my wallet, and if they'd done it earlier that day- the brand new Note 3 I'd just purchased.

I only left my stuff because I hadn't yet purchased a screen protector and my biggest fear was a scratch in the screen (but not getting jumped!).

My dog was huge, but I was glad she'd stayed away. I couldn't imagine coming up on someone walking that big a dog.

Sometimes shit just happens.

I am 1st Dan in Tae Kwon Do, 2nd in Tang Soo Do, was lucky enough to take boxing lessons with some pretty cool people, even Butterbean.

I made sure all my kids got the same and then some, with their primary focus Jiu Jitsu as I believe ground game is of utmost importance in self defense, something I was lacking in for years.

Just because nothing I knew could help me in that one super shitty situation doesn't make the years I spent learning moot.

It's definitely helped me far more times than not.

If these women are potential targets, they should protect themselves however they can.

My issue with guns is a person is more likely to pull a trigger from fear than anger, or it could be taken and used against you.

I used to have a CCP but thought it might get me in more trouble than help.

Nowadays I've been considering getting one again. It's beginning to feel like most people are carrying (here, in California- I know that's not true but that's what it feels like)

We never know what's going to happen, we can only try to be prepared and hope for the best.
As someone who has actually worked on end to end encryption at Meta, I can tell you I am not aware of anything where the company reads your WhatsApp messages - either in transit or device. The company takes fairly serious measures to ensure it cannot even accidentally infer such contents.

I don't know what is happening in this specific case. Perhaps the ads came from some other similar search queries. Perhaps they came from the keyboard intercepting what was typed. Or perhaps something else that I can't think of. But I'm nearly certain it did not come from meta intercepting the contents of your messages.

It's hard to convince people at this point because many have lost trust in Meta as a company, and I understand that. But I still find it stunning that so many people are making so many false claims without any actual knowledge to back it up.

I've seen this happen as well, but I think it's more of a problem of bundling too small a changeset in a release. A partial implementation of a feature shouldn't warrant a release (without feature flags to disable it), but bundling a year's worth of work in a single release is, in my opinion, a recipe for disaster (and this is sadly something that happens all too often in enterprise and non-software engineering businesses).

The best engineers I know want to work on interesting problems for a pay that is high enough to cover quality of life.

If your company shows a slowdown in growth--not loss: less growth--the idea that you're suffering from macroeconomic effects and need to cut spending makes very little sense. You're still making a profit quarter after quarter, where's the financial hardship?

(You might go "what about that 4 billion dollar fine from the EU??" To which the response is "did you look at their earnings report? Google made just shy of 20 billion in operating income last quarter alone, on a 30+% profit margin. $4b is literally still a trivial amount as a fine, constituting less than a month's worth of earnings)
Fire suppression is not the answer, though. North American ecosystems depend on regular fire to function. The increase in out-of-control wild fires on the west coast is a function of the coincidence of two trends: drought and a century of fire suppression and accumulating fuels.
Let me share a plausible scenario which may be a bit on conspiracy theory side :)
Yes, WhatsApp uses secure protocol which prevents anyone, even WhatsApp servers from reading your messages. However WhastApp mobile app, developed by Facebook can see all your unencrypted text while it is typed or shown on the screen. So the ad targeting may be happening then.
