We stick with only AWS and Azure.

GCP is seen as too risky at my company, primarily due to a reputation for poor support both in terms of feature parity and in terms of having a vendor throat to choke when things go wrong.

However those of us who read web time wasters like HN n reddit also quietly mutter to ourselves about how clever we are to avoid something already headed to the killed by Google page, even if we don't know when exactly that will be.
There will be stupid games, with prizes, and in a TikTok + Pokémon Go like event society will fad on it for a few weeks.

Beyond that, AR has significant applications in technical fields simply as an in-field reference and augmented system state visualizer.
I think it reveals a deep naïveté about the author that they can simply boil things down to “Marxism bad”. However, they do seem to be learning that there is value in not being a STEMLord.
I guess. The best engineers and people I know with PhDs in computer security who can't reveal their employer really don't give a toss about games.

There's a lot of clever people that really do not care for competitive recreation. You can be a serious scholar without also being an enthusiastic puzzlemaster

So CTF is just another form of cohort filtering masquerading as competence selection; a modern version of going for beers and golfing with a candidate and then wondering why you have a bunch of beer drinking golfers working for you

It's only that clear and blatant, when you cozily watch it on TV. A nice captivating narrative with clear morals, "good", "bad" and all the other storybook stuff that literally never happens in real life.

I'm sorry, but I just feel like your impressions of it are naive, as you reason in categories that don't have weight for real actual individuals in real actual life.

"Fighting for freedom after tasting it for 30 years" is something that only exists in storybooks. In reality it's always powerful people making the decisions and then agitating other people into submission.

Real individuals are preoccupied with much more mundane things, like providing for their families and so on.
Ukrainians, Russians, Chinese, whatever. Denying them this is a very typical dehumanization and manipulation tactics, commonly found in western supremacist culture, i.e. "why don't they fight for freedom" tropes.

If you can use this to identify anonymous people, you can similarly use a tool to change your own text to appear as though someone else typed it.

I was talking to some the other day about why a certain city which has so many minorities vote conservative. Its funny how these celebrate diversity but the moment they vote conservative they lose the ingroup status of minority. The only concern is surface level diversity. True diversity is having some progressive and some conservative thought.
I think I had this problem too, but got through it after a few tries. I strongly dislike mechanically hard video games but didn't find Nier particularly difficult.

Most modern video games give me the feeling that I've played the exact same game before, just in lower resolution. Nier is one of the few that feels like it's doing something original.
It doesn't solve the problems that are actually holding back nuclear.

Smartphone took off thanks to the capacitive touchscreen. Before that people were like "look at that weirdo with his/her bulky phone and stylus, he/she'd be better off with a notepad". VR headsets need a similar technological leap to become mainstream. It is not just price. The key issue is being able to see the wearer's eyes. This is the only thing that can solve the weirdness issue.
melon? and that logo looking like testicles, is all of that just coincidence or is the reader just being trolled.
If they would accept the video with bleeps, why don't they just offer to bleep it. Then they could give uncensored versions to signed in adults who choose it?
>If you follow conservative politics, someone can say something like "men are women are biologically different" and they'll have their account banned for a catch-all "hate speech" violation.

Weird, I see phrases like this and even some laced with actual hate speech all the time in twitter.

>Bottom line, Twitter is an irredeemable toxic cesspool full of both propaganda and massive censorship.

Damn right in this, they censor the silliest things, but allow even the propaganda that conservatives are censored in twitter.
The moderators only really need to review the videos already flagged by the automatic process, and the classification ML thingy can add the timestamps with positions the "objectionable content" is featured at, so the mods wouldn't need to view the video in whole.

How many of the videos are flagged down, though, we probably don't have any solid statistic on that.

levenstein by itself isnt really anything so this question is unanswerable. string distance is only a part of a search algo. generally i expect that it will be significantly slower, but more tolerant to typos. the rest heavily depends on many other implementation details.
Oracle ZFS and OpenZFS by now are separate things and Oracle changing license from their proprietary one to another wouldn't impact OpenZFS.

Remember, Oracle changed their license back to proprietary closed source.
While I agree Dostoevsky is worth reading for most, some of the author's statements made me cringe a bit. Like "reading fiction is mostly a waste of time", "knowledge as a tool to gain an advantage over others" and "Communist Russia's collapse due to Marxism"... I presume the author is either somewhat young or a programmer (due to his lack of nuance). Or both.
Yes, actually verified this as well. This was a new and surprising attack vector for me where one calls a trusted number and that organization has been infiltrated by bad actors. This means that operational security of that organization is impacted.
Some Non-Technical Lessons for Software Engineers
i did my fair share of toying with cloud in the past and that's why i go with vps and bare metal. 99.9999% people don't need what they think they need and could do things on 1/10 of their budget if they would spend a little bit more time figuring things out for their project.

Because of microsoft history. Including recent history.

Anyone else who suspects that management set this arbitrary and impossible goal as a parallel construction to close down GCP?
Or, much more likely, they face the fact that they have no leg to stand on, which was intentional in CDDL design from the get go.

Any licensing challenges regarding ZFS in Linux come from GPL people lawyering about derivative code and whether it applies.
In the 1960s thru early 1980s, IBM mainframes in academia were extremely common. A lot of academic research and scientific computing was done on IBM mainframes, especially under VM/CMS. Both SAS and SPSS began life on IBM mainframes. The SPIRES database of high energy physics research was hosted by Stanford SLAC on IBM mainframes for decades (and then, when they finally moved it off the mainframe, they kept running the original mainframe software in an emulator).

However, as the 1980s progressed, most of it migrated away from the mainframe, on to Unix systems and PCs. So, starting in 1989, you would have missed most of it. IBM mainframes survived longer for administrative computing (accounting, payroll, student records, etc)–but thru the 1990s and 2000s almost all of that went away too.

There are still a few colleges/universities out there who run IBM mainframes – primarily to teach them to students as a technology – Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York comes particularly to mind. But nothing like it used to be.
Not only a record, the record needs to point to a ipv6 also. If that is missing it is not as trivial as you make it.
That is stupid. Why is it Facebook’s job to raise children
Google Clouds Run is a perfect fit for my use case (infrequent, long running jobs) but:

(1) I've had terrible customer support experience with Google in the past

(2) I'm scared they will give up on GCP

So my company won't ever be a Google customer.
I remember Raskolnikov laying in his bed looking at the patterns of the wallpaper while feeling moody. That may have been the most connected I have felt with a literary character.
And that depends on whether you can prove that the CDDL code is derivative of GPLv2 code.
>you click through them because corporations (most of them american) decided that tracking you was so juicy that it was worth it to make you pay this price

And, realistically, the cookie banner addresses this how?
What’s your solution? Letting whoever has nukes rape, torture and genocide their way through whatever country they want?.
I see it the other way around: classics boil things down close to what makes us human, and that has no time boundary.

It will always be relevant and insightful, no matter the state of some human constructs, or new society standards - in the end human condition will always be with us.
> It means he is still relevant.

Yeah, that's kind of my point. Of course he's still relevant, he's Dostoevsky. I'm in the middle of Moby Dick. Not because Taleb (or Jordan Peterson, or any other twitter "intellectual") told me about this cool 19th century author named Herman Melville, but because, you know, it's Moby freakin' Dick.
The st ligature is interesting. Never seen that before
This wasn't "exposed" by summoning salt. Literally everyone on the platform knows how YouTube is inconsistent with its moderation decisions even when asking for a manual review. A lot of creators get annoyed by this to the point where they make videos about it.

YouTube seems like the number of false positives are acceptable.
They're inevitably going to shut it down within a few years anyway, so I just stay away from it.
He said "weakest part", not bad.It was just decent. It wasn't up to level of say Bayonetta but it was a good combat system.

Concentrated/thermal solar seems to be flying under the radar. Plenty of room for efficiency and cost improvement. Most of the work is concurrently beneficial to electric production and industrial use. SETO targets $0.05/kWh including 12+ hours of storage by 2030. Plus a pretty safe supply chain.

Citrix ICA was very bandwidth efficient, it would run acceptably over a dialup modem link. Xwindows, not so much.
> even if it's limited, one or two typos at most

This would help a lot I think.

When I'm on mobile, the most common error is "keyboard offset error", where I hit a "key" next to the one I intended. So it's not completely arbitrary, and it only happens once or twice in 99% of the cases.

On a physical keyboard this also happens, but the more likely error is synchronization error, where I hit a left-hand key before a right-hand key or vice versa, the classic teh vs the. Again usually only a single such error per word and not arbitrary.

Finally there's also the common case of simply missing a letter. Again, limited and not arbitrary.

So at least for my sake, anything that can handle the above errors would go a long way.
For large state machines sure. For smaller ones no. My point wasn't that enum is the only way to do it in C. Just a simple representation that is used in practice that I could explain in a single sentence.
young or a programmer or a capitalist, probably the last two.
mine was No Longer Human when the protagonist sneaks at night to write the gift that he actually wanted from his father (when he said he wanted books earlier when asked, which was unusual). IDK why but I just felt so connected to that character. Perhaps I could see myself doing it.
Having co-founded an extremely tiny company that went nowhere, but during the operation of which I got to taste what it means to be in a very stressful environment with another person, I think if I were to start another venture, I'd also go solo and lean on a business coach, therapist or some sort of circle of likeminded people.

On the face of it, it seems like a good route — a neutral third party is able offer (professional) support, punch holes into your thinking, reflect back, ask great questions etc, without sacrificing your freedom and equity. Curious if solo-founder folks have tried the business coach approach and how does it compare?
> Is gameplay not the most important part of a game?

Not really. Gameplay is a part of the game and it can have multiple effects. It can reinforce the themes, see for example a game where you are meant to be strong the gameplay can make you feel like a god. Or if you are a fast robot pilot like Titan Fall 2 then the gameplay can be fast and acrobatic.

Or it can be at odds with the story. Plenty of games about cooperation or pacifism etc randomly have fight mechanics because they sell well. See for example Last of Us telling a moving story about humanity and then having sections where you mow down humans like crazy.

And finally there are games where the gameplay serves the emotion behind it, Nier, like for example Shadow of the Colossus or Death Stranding, the gameplay is there to make you feel something or help you feel something. If the gameplay was insanely intricate like Devil May Cry then the themes would not resonate as much. Its not like Hideo Kojima doesn't know how to make a character walk properly, but the clunky walking makes feeling relieved when you find help in death stranding mean something.
Vogtle 3/4 are coming in very expensive. Much more CO2 emission would have been avoided by spending that money to build PV and wind.

Vogtle 3/4 also were greenlighted back in an environment when it wasn't clear PV would get so cheap so quickly. When it became clear how cheap renewables would become, it was obvious that initial decision was bad. The other nuclear build in the US, V. C. Summer, reached the point where they had spent the initial estimate but found the cost had doubled. At that point, it was as if they were asked to make the initial decision again, but now against much cheaper wind and solar. The reluctant conclusion was that continuing made no economic sense. It made no economic sense at Vogtle either, but politicians forced it to continue (the execs in SC were revenge prosecuted for stopping the gravy train.)
The problem is that they aren't really, as you're playing in few of them in parallel to the story, with different character. "Chapter 2C" would be just as confusing...
They made that movie. It's called Tree Of Life and it sucks.
In the end, no one is arguing that nuclear power in the West is not expensive.

As the first part of this article series notes, South Korea does not seem to have such extensive costs. Instead of looking into why South Korea can build nuclear power plants at reasonable costs, it hand waves it away implying that the South Koreans are faking the numbers.

South Korean companies also built the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates, which is hugely successful.

Pretty agree with the post but it is funny he discovered that "truth" so late in his life.

I generally consider mathematics and physics as being the higher achievements of human knowledge and it is normal to "worship" them as the most important field of study so much that some people dedicate their entire life to them with the same devotion of true monks.

It is surprising that the author didn't include Physics in the fields that provides valuable and durable knowledge worth to acquire. Mathematics alone is sort of "sterile" when is not used within physics knowledge. Without physics it is a sort of highly abstract beauty that people pursuit only for the sake of it's beauty.

On the other side we have to recognize that both mathematics and physics capture nothing about the experience of life as a human being. For this we need real life experience, knowing other people and exchange with them, study history and read historical and social essays in addition to literature classics.

One will not find in them the sharp accuracy and simple laws that physics and mathematics provides but I guess there is no other way to learn what life is and its partial, imperfect truths.

I also cannot resist to recommend, for those who love reading Dostoevsky, to read also Bulgakov's master and Marguerite which is a true masterpiece of beauty and gives a sharp and deep view of what humanity is.
This is good advice and I did that immediately following the call. I was intrigued that JetBlue was infiltrated. Typically these folks are Man in Middle attacks or reach out directly to victims and perform some kind of social engineering manipulation. I would hope that JetBlue and others have monitoring and systems in place that would prevent this type of activity, especially in your own call center. What that means is that they most likely use their own devices.
When Apple adds ads, think of your pal Hammy Havoc.
The law shows you which companies act in bad faith (ostensibly all of them).

The companies choose whether to continue acting badly (but having to tell you, if you're in the EU); or to act kindly and so have no need to inform you they're doing something malicious.

There is already a "do not track" setting in browsers. Companies choose whether to annoy you or not.
Two points:

Firstly SOFIA is a modified Boeing 747SP. The SP first flew in 1975 and the final SP was delivered in 1987: Boeing never made many of this type (a short-arse extra-long-range 747 that was designed for certain long-haul routes, back before high bypass turbofans had the fuel economy -- hence range -- we expect of today's airliners) and this was one of the last ones still flying.

Secondly, it's an infrared telescope. JWST does the same job much, much better. If JWST had failed, then we'd presumably see a hasty program to build a next-generation SOFIA airborn telescope around now. But given JWST's success to date, it's simply no longer needed.
Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite games and the gameplay is absolutely terrible!
> for example, spelling errors are less common at the start of words

At least on mobile, I find I make just as many first letter mistakes by hitting the wrong "key" on the on-screen keyboard, as I do in any other position of the word. Very annoyingly the predictive text engine assumes like you mention and it takes a lot for it to consider the first letter being wrong.
That's an easy question. After 7 weeks of training, I quit the Army and moved to London.
Similar here, lost interest after getting killed by that crane thing two or three times and getting sent back to the beginning to grind my way through a bunch of grind.

Maybe I can find all the good parts cut together into a single video online: that sounds more attractive than slogging through the game version.
We rely heavily on GCP and, whilst nothing is impossible, it would be incredibly painful for us to transition away.

I personally think it’s quite unlikely that they shutter the entire business and all the product lines - many of them are extremely high margin and are already in a stable position. Given how many of their products they have designated as Google Cloud (last I heard Workspace is being attributed to Cloud revenue now) it seems more likely we would see the killing of new or in-development product lines such as Anthos or Alloy DB whereas the more established and profitable areas such as Workspace, BigQuery, Looker, GKE, BigTable and others would be allowed to continue to exist in some form.

As someone who has used all the major Cloud Providers, I have generally found the Google products to be the best engineered with “the right sized nut” normally being available, rather than an exercise in cryptography to decipher the documentation for a workaround. It would be a colossal waste and shame IMO to throw that away.

As a customer, I think they are struggling (as the article concurs) with their approach to Sales, Marketing and Support. It is frankly years behind their competition and recently (~2 years) have seen an increase in effort but not real shift in the end result. Part of this problem is their insistence on using resellers and partners for any interesting size deal where these partners themselves are really not up to scratch.

For now, we won’t be taking action to de-risk our position beyond ensuring that a migration of some kind is technically feasible given sufficient notice. I think they will start to drop the investment into the platform and focus on extracting revenue from what they’ve got - but I don’t see it going the way of Stadia and siblings from the consumer side. It’s my hope that revenue (and the narrative it allows them to tell the market around diversification) is worth keeping their crown jewel products running.
That sounds to me as if the interviewer had said "write a program". It seems rather natural to ask "OK. What do you want the program to do? Shall I write a program that takes some input, and outputs it reversed? Would that do?", and they said "If that's what you think a program is, then sure."

At that point, it's probably best to stop arguing, and code. They probably want to argue with you about your code, not their spec.

But when I got the reply "Do you not know what a state machine is?", I think I might have thanked them for their time, and left. I would have been sorely tempted to come back with "Yes, a state machine is an abstraction, and you seem to want a concrete implementation, but you don't seem to want to fill in the details of your requirement. Is it a good use of our time together for me to complete your spec, so there's something for me to code up?"

It sounds like they didn't want you; perhaps your face didn't fit. They say most interviews are decided in the first couple of minutes.
In what way are US laws a problem? Do you mean subjects like reverse engineering provisions or patent trolls?
edit: Okay yes, so its mainly talking about patent trolls. It may be cold comfort but I think it could have been worse, there are much worse countries to be based in.

I did not dial this number. I called 1-800-JETBLUE. My number is not hacked it’s a classic landline :). I caught on it was a scam based on the above email, where the domain name they were sending from was not JetBlue.com.
By using pen and paper. I use to write all programs on paper, debug it by hand on paper. Then whenever I was confident that the programs I wrote will run without errors, I use to go to a person's house who had a computer, pay him for 1hr access and run my programs. My parents could not afford to pay everyday, so every 1 or 2 week, I use to collect all my written programs and go type them as quickly as possible and try to compile and run them.
