I still call myself a "Systems Engineer" despite my role being usurped by HR and middle management into the 'new' hotness: "Site Reliability Engineer".

Thanks to people doing DevOps burning out, it's like an ongoing joke/question as to what 'DevOps' is vs. 'SRE' when in fact it was all work that a 'Systems Engineer' performed prior to someone in middle management working with HR to justify their roles changed my title despite the work not changing a bit during their bi-annual "reorganization".

As someone who is on the hunt for a new place to land, it drives me crazy how the title doesn't match the role description and often when you interview there are times when it doesn't even match the expectations. And the depressing part is that it's difficult to even find "Systems Engineering" jobs unless it's with another industry with different skill sets all together.

But as managers are likely finding out now, most developers don't want to do Systems Engineering as it's a cross-team discipline to pull all the resources together and operate complex systems with greater proficiency (in many different metrics) and maintain service delivery (in multiple other metrics).

What has been interesting is this resurgence in people trying to figure out what "Ops" and "SE" did for developers that they have been thrown into doing and learning how little they actually knew. Partly our own fault, of course, as nobody really wants to know how the sausage is made. But they also didn't envision where our sights were set in the future once we got people doing more self-service resource and code deployment. That just getting the apps launch were just the beginning, that to deliver robust code requires metric gathering, SLA, Chaos Engineering, how to get the right metrics tracked and to look at all the signals as a organism to teach machines how to heal themselves.

But it always comes back to respecting the process while pushing forward education of the people taking part in it. Tearing down the silos while also demonstrating often the value of engineers who know everything but their app/service/code - yet is able to learn it and architect solutions.

Yes, they're zealots. It's similar to how religious zealots refused to simply "change the channel" when they found something objectionable.
YOLOv5 is usually associated with object detection and is one of the most popular networks in the world for that task. Recently, image classification was added to YOLOv5, and it keeps getting better!
AGE is an extension, not a fork. You can have relational tables and graphs in the same database, probably you can also use both in the same query.
This is a good step in the right direction, which IMHO should be that all those cli tools should have a —-json flag.

Another argument: JXL actually supports losless compression of RGB bitmaps and cjxl (the JXL reference encoder) actually supports color spaces correctly when converting from PNG unlike Google's WEBP, which only supports losless YUV compression and the conversion from RGB to YUV is not entirely lossless and cwebp (Google's WEBP reference encoder) doesn't support all the ways color spaces can be encoded in PNGs, resulting in washed out images in some cases.

And what could also be an advantage for JXL is animation. WEBP does have animation support implemented in browsers but it came after the freature was enabled and doesn't have a separate mime type so you can't do fallback to .gif without user agent checks. If JXL support either ships with animations enabled or animated JXL gets a separate mime type in browsers it could make it actually useful.

You know what doesn’t work?

Attempting to moderate all human communication.

Impossible, by definition - it is produced at a rate as high as the humans involved, so short of a Stasi-level police state, it can’t work.

So instead of trotting out the “far-right” boogie man every time someone doesn’t give you the impossible, let’s figure out how to give the local police the tools to do their jobs?

“In turn, Michael Griffin said last week, “Like it or not, the Space Station is a feature of American space policy. At this point, the failure to recognize that, accept it, and deal with the consequences in a mature fashion consigns one, in my mind, to the ‘kids table’, while the adults converse elsewhere.”
I think a key problem with Reddit is that when you create a subreddit (and obtain the final say on all moderation decisions) you also get the name of the subreddit and URL forever. This means that early arrivers have the advantage of taking all the best subreddit names.
I think it's more that this is an American base and people in the United States seem to use antediluvian top loaders a lot, possibly because of a historical surfeit of space, and possibly never prevalence of shared machine rooms in apartment blocks.

Europeans visiting the United States are often bemused by the antiquated looking, advanced electronics-free top loading washing machines everywhere. I'm sure somebody has written a good article on why this remains the case largely in the United States.

If you want a really reliable, modern front loading washing machine, you buy German. Miele, Bosch really are the gold standard and are built to last 20-years rather than the planned obsolescence of most washing machines.
the fact that this is probably good practice just shows how ridiculously confusing AWS is

But blocking political speech equally from one subreddit, is different then say blocking an article about a presidential son's laptop from multiple entire platforms.
>Instead of trying to fix systems originally designed for marketing, why not actually design systems meant for disseminating and checking information from the ground up? I bet that would look way different compared to twitter or facebook.

There's a solution for this, based on prediction markets. Essentially experts make "bets" on various things and are rewarded for correct predictions. The more correct predictions they make, they more "points" they have to get their viewpoints broadcast. And conversely, quacks and charlatans that cannot model the world scientifically make few accurate predictions and get drowned out.

I should note that if you use AWS Control Tower Account Factory to create the member accounts then this role does not get created.

The "Audit" account that is created by Control Tower is probably the best one to serve as the Administrative Access Account

> “The most common cause of death in women with breast cancer is heart disease,” Kirkham says.

Interesting. But perhaps it's better phrased as: Women with heart disease are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Perhaps there's some biological connection? Regardless, if you're getting treated for heart disease - which is more common - your doctor(s) is likely to spot other ailments?

Also, and the article mentions this, there are quality of like issues, which apparently the study doesn't deep dive into.

This xkcd is about the first amendment.

The discussion here is about censorship. Infringing the first amendment is censorship, but the converse isn't true. Plenty of things are censorship without infringing on the first amendment.

As an example, Bezos hypothetically preventing his newspaper from publishing negative stories about him is censorship. He is censoring his editors in this hypothetical.

As another example, if Bezos says "everyone who calls me a stupid-head will get kicked of AWS", that would be an attack on free-speech.

If you make them a lot bigger, copper is an excellent conductor. Silver is better yet, but not by enough to be worth the cost (contrary to popular belief, gold isn't very good, though it is better than iron) aluminum is often used as it is cheaper by enough, but it turns out of have weird properties and so extra care is needed to use it.

Was it tested, by chance, to run with Cockroachdb or Yugabytedb? We are migrating off non distributed solutions and the Postgres native solutions we tried just weren't easy to set up and use, while the two newcomers are. Any advise in that direction? We are using Yugabyte mostly now for testing if everything works and if it's robust; so far it works very well -> we were very happy with Cockroach, but not with the license.
It’s interesting to me that when the Apple Watch was coming out (and maybe more broadly when fitness bands etc. were becoming available) there was a pretty widespread sentiment that younger people didn’t want watches because why would they? They always had their phones.
I developed software in the 80's but it was similar as it is today. Not much has changed. Books/co-worker talks/seminars became Stackoverflow.

The USA has privatized its public commons, with exception of a library and city hall.

Sure they do, but in an ostensibly-free state is "you must unlock your devices and give immigration full access to the data within" really a reasonable position? If you wanted to bring sketchy data into the country, surely it'd be easier to do it via a VPN, right?

I would say what are you talking about? That makes no grammatical sense.
> My wife and I came to this country with a few hundred dollars between us and have worked hard to reach where we’re at. We're far from privileged.

Define privileged. You came to the U.S. which means you had the means and impetus to do so. Doesn't that already put in the top 50th percentile of world population? 50 is wild speculation on my part and it could be higher or lower.

I'm almost positive you are more privileged than someone born into a modern indigenous South American or African community. But what does it even matter? "Privileged" is completely relative and irrelevant because anyone who makes it past about the age of 18 is in some sense fortunate.

No. You're son will have to overcome unfair and unfortunate circumstances just like you did. Hopefully he has been prepared to do so.
Always bet on PostgreSQL!

I hope AGE matures a bit in the future. There are lots of use cases for Graph Databases. One I'm interested in is bitemporality. It's easy to use ltree or CTE for tree-like structures. But what if you want to move nodes in the graph at certain times? Like a device being scheduled to be in different rooms across time. And also the history of those schedules. In a graph database you can label edges with temporal attributes and then query for a view of the graph at a certain point in time and in a certain history state by filtering the edges.
For those interested in a modern take on this topic, I have a page on what compiling means for array languages that briefly discusses APL\3000 along with other projects like APEX and Co-dfns. As far as I know nothing like APL\3000 has really been tried again. My guesses as to the main reasons are that beginning in the 80s APLs needed to run on many architectures instead of being designed for just one machine, and that more recently most of the highest-performing primitive implementations need to use SIMD to process multiple elements at once. Compiling code that does this is a lot harder, especially with overflow handling. APL\3000 only had 1-bit, 2-byte, and 8-byte numeric types while Dyalog APL adds 1- and 4-byte integers.

Sturgeon’s Law
I'm fairly certain that the model was not at all trained on language data. It's just that the "neural architecture" (specifically, the Transformer architecture) was first discovered in the NLP realm.

If your question is why does an architecture designed for NLP work well for aminoacid sequences, it turns out that the Transformer architecture is surprisingly versatile. It works amazingly well for other sequence-like data (like audio), and even for images (which, to me, is surprising, since images are not a one dimensional sequence like text or audio).

The Transformer architecture (Particularly, the Multihead self-attention[0] mechanism within the Transformer) is, in my estimation, once of the key innovations in deep learning in the past 5 years. It's used in pretty much everything in deep learning (GPT-3, AlphaFold, DALLE-2/Stable Diffusion, OpenAI's Whisper, come to mind).

I find both solutions to be flawed. The traditional scrollbar introduces layout shift when going from one page without a scrollbar to a page with a scrollbar. The new overlay scrollbar is sometimes harder to click and activate, especially in Chromium. Firefox's overlay scrollbar seems to do the right thing. The reading progress bars are a distraction and probably harmful to one's attention span and reading ability.

I guess scrollbar-gutter can fix the traditional scrollbar but then people have to give up using their fancy banners in headers. I'm (mostly) fine with Firefox's overlay scrollbar for now.
As is mine. Loathe to throw it away, yet quite sure it doesn't work anymore.

Clickers cross over with idle/incremental games. Both genres are rife with dark patterns and player exploitation, but there are some notable exceptions.

Reactor Incremental takes the concepts from IndustrialCraft 2's nuclear reactors and pushes it far. I think it's the peak of the 2D geometry geometric growth optimizer genre.

https://www.kongregate.com/games/cael/reactor-incremental

I've wanted to make my own for a while but I haven't thought of a way to overcome the what I think is the main issue with the genre: waiting. Instead of running constantly a design could run instantly at the cost of some credits. The better the design the more investment credits you would get in return. Balance would have to heavily favor investment in design changes in between runs to avoid the game switching from an incremental idler to an incremental clicker. Perhaps the player would need to spend a type of credit that you only get from design modification to run a round.

Basically: I want a 2D geometry optimizer incremental game that isn't an idler or a clicker.

There is also a lot of room for creativity in this space. I think the ceiling can be really raised with things like multiblocks. Imagine something like a fusion reactor where you need confinement blocks and heating blocks. There is no prescriptive layout, just some rules needed for it to work and performance would depend on the layout.

Reddit is awful. The whole system is designed to create a groupthink. Downvoting of alternate opinions, post throttling and over zealous moderators banning people for wrongthink. Actual discussion of unpopular opinions is impossible. This creates a userbase with a very similar mindset, and so the problem just compounds itself.
