There isn't really such a thing as "external factors" when the entire economy is an interdependent ecosystem. Construction getting cheaper and more productive actually created more demand for it, made it economical to build large suburban subdivisions, etc.

> Most IT and tech jobs are lower level coding positions.

I don't really buy that. It's true that most positions are IC positions, i.e. not managers, but quite a lot of them require domain knowledge and human intervention in edge cases which can't be handled by automation. If automation could solve all the problems, why are so many people oncall?

I debated about spending the extra whatever to go to the larger/faster storage due to this problem. In the end I went for the base/lowest cost MBA M2 because it's still plenty fast day to day for me and only on rare occasions would I need that extra bump in speed. Even then the difference is probably seconds rather than minutes or hours.

The most ridiculous part of all of this is that they're pushing a pro machine with crippled IO performance.
> When the officer left the room for a few minutes, Nada found himself alone with the case file. Desperate for answers, he riffled through it. The officer had written notes dismissing him as paranoid, Nada told me. (The local police and prosecutor declined to comment.) But the police had also obtained copies of requests for records about Lord Energy and a local mosque. Both had been filed by a Geneva-based private intelligence firm, Alp Services.

What an amazing stroke of luck! They left the room and "forgot" to bring the case file with them. I hope he thanked them afterwards.

Configuration as code, but in a quirky language - how about no? I'm sure someone uses this, someone created this, and so it might seem like it's useful, but we have enough clownishness out there with yaml, json combined with js, json with eval and so on.

Create a framework in a normal language, but one which is very limited by design with regard to what is able to access - Skylark/Starlark is a good example[0], "limited Python" and use that. The rest works the same way, take an input in this language/framework, generate outputs.

1. It looks like RTMP didn't support it, and arguably still doesn't, since they link to an "enhanced RTMP" spec.

2. "Unlike some other protocols that only support specific video and audio formats, SRT does not limit you to a specific container or codec, since it is media or content agnostic. SRT operates at the network transport level, acting as a wrapper around your content. This means it can transport any type of codec, resolution or frame rate. This is important because it can future proof workflows by working transparently with MPEG-2, H.264, and HEVC for example."

> Microsoft won the work from home game by delivering more features

Citation needed.

First off, I don't know if Microsoft did win the work-from-home game. Do you have comparative sales numbers to support that assertion?

Anyway, I'd believe that they won the work-from-home game by...

- bundling Teams in with O365 subscriptions so frugal companies don't need to pay for a separate IM platform subscription, or by

- winning over IT administrators with out-of-the-box Active Directory integration.

Those aren't “more” features, really; they're just the usual, staple bullet points that you expect of every Microsoft productivity application. The feature Teams does need is performance. I don't know a single person who has used any Teams alternative and who still prefers to use Teams, and the chief complaint I hear is about Teams' poor performance. Yes, of course, there will always be those features that people don't know they want until they have it, but when everyone and their dog complains about every possible dimension of poor performance – poor interface responsiveness, high CPU load (“my fan is on!”), poor network utilization (“sorry, my video is worse on Teams”) – you should probably prioritize that.

> In fact, it's one of the few parts you can reliably source that still offers this feature if you should need it, say for FET party tricks.

Few? Tons of MOSFETs have no ESD protection, because that ESD protection diode has uA levels of leakage current in practice. Both MOSFETs discussed in this subthread (IRL540 and AO3401A) are both unprotected MOSFETs that blowup from ESD.

In fact, no one has even listed an ESD-protected MOSFET yet.

> Yes, you can be careful about this and order the right part number to get a newer protected-gate version

Unprotected MOSFETs have nothing to do with "old" or "new". Its because that protection diode has a number of characteristics (in particular: sucking currents in a different direction than expected and changing the circuit) that needs to be carefully considered.

You can't just replace unprotected MOSFETs with protected ones and hope that your circuits work. You very well could be shorting out some circuit inadvertently.

So while everyone in the comments section is amazing us all with how inflation works, what's the cost of camera today on Perseverance?

Just for scale, California's annual Medi-Cal (the state’s implementation of Medicaid) spending is over $100 billion, so this represents less than 0.1% of Medi-Cal spending.

The article throws a lot of numbers around that are tangentially related, but, oddly, not that one.
You're absolutely right - there are a ton of measures by which QoL today is better than in the past thanks to technology. I have access to the Internet. Holy shit how I love (and hate) it! Certain types of cancers are survivable, the television per dollar is ridiculous; I, a plebe, have access to jet travel and can travel to pretty much anywhere in the world. (Hell, if you're halfway not-a-plebe, Netjets get you fractional private jet ownership. Kings of the 1200's could scarcely dream of access to that technology) And those are only the first-world things that come to mind. Access to drinking water, toilets, food, anti-malaria and other anti-disease medical technology is far wider. Air-conditioning if you live in hot, electrified parts of the world.

It's just there are priorities that society could prioritize to reduce overall misery compared to where we are today. Why are infants going unfed, children going hungry? Why is medical bankruptcy even a thing? What is the average number of leisure hours per week across the whole economy? Sure, if I work extra hard and guess the right (tech startup) lottery numbers, I could retire and have a 0 hour work week, but for the unlucky masses, what's that average number when less than half the (American) people don't have $500 saved up for an emergency? There's no question that the GDP as a whole, but even per-capita is way up since the 50's *. But is happiness (as a measure as the opposite of misery) also way up? If the World Happiness Report ** went back to the 1950's (or even the pre-Internet 1990's), would we see similar trends? Of course everyone's welcome to their own priorities, but happiness per-capita, as impossible it is to measure, seem entirely reasonable to prioritize for the country/world's economy. What makes a given individual happy won't be uniform, obviously. (I like my small shitty apartment and chose to live there because of the location but I'm fully aware it's also not for everyone.) But the number of hours of leisure (Europeans laugh at the fact that it's measured by hours in the US and not counted by days) or the number of hours per week spent dealing with assholes (boss, co-workers, or customers) would be great things to optimize the economy for.

If we truly live in a world where those in power seek to eliminate all other (non-powerful) humans from the equation, then maybe that's our real problem. For the record, I don't actually believe this is the case. Some people might work toward this goal but I doubt that most powerful people would voluntarily want to give up their influence over the masses. Which is what they'd do if they leave them to fend for themselves while the bots run their businesses. At some point, when you have enough money already, you don't actually seek more money, you seek more influence, and money is just the vehicle. ETA: btw, if a truly autonomous money-making machine is invented, that's just going to cause inflation, making it all worthless.

That's a start. Governments need to be 100% transparent in all things. Government officials should have nothing to hide. All meetings are open, all documents are accessible to all, all communications are recorded and open. Convert the NSA into an agency which watches government 24x7.
Any government official that is found to hide/obscure information from the public gets three strike after which they are out. For life.

Workers who actually deal with confidential/personal information on citizens are the ones with the privilege to work without such monitoring.

I’m usually on the other side of this. I regularly request that people spend 3x the time it would take something to prove to me that it’s a good idea, so maybe let me offer you some perspective - the outside view, if you will.

The primary job of an executive is risk management. Let’s say I run an engineering team where people have good ideas 70% of the time, and bad ideas 30% of the time. Famously, it takes 10x the number of resources it originally took to develop and deploy, to remove a bad system from production and replace it.

.7 * 4 + .3 * 3 = 3.7

.3 * 11 + 0.7 = 4.0

An engineering team that doesn’t take 3x the time it takes to do something to verify it ahead of time is actually slightly less efficient overall ( assuming that 3x the time it takes reduces the error rate to 0)

Yea there are lots of simplifying assumptions here, these are all averages, plans don’t all take the same time, etc, etc, etc, and a more sophisticated system would take it all into account. But the results don’t usually change, unless in very special circumstances.

Yes, it's real, and yes, these are the kinds of things many investors, and most acquirers, will be thinking about.

The ten question subset would consist of things like: are business fundamentals sound, and is there a growth plan? is the existing leadership of quality to effect a step change over the next few years leading to exit, or will we need to bring in professional management? is the tech sound, secure and scalable (this is often least important)? is there regulatory exposure, and if so, how has that been addressed?

I got flagged in the other thread. It was because I said the gov is going mad with power. This is not about Binance. They are going after Coinbase, too. They are trying to severe the connections between tradFi and deFi. They are also trying to censor views they don't like on all social media. Isn't that a coincidence? And take out TikTok too while you're at it, so only place to speak out now is Twitter... and they scared everyone away from Twitter because they say Musk is an alt right nutjob. SMH. Crazy times.

We're thinking about this too. The overall prize pool was about 6x smaller a week ago so we are still digesting this rapid influx of sponsorship.

The grand prize goes to the _first_ team to read 4 passages from the scrolls. But we could, for example, award something to the second team to do so. Or, we could award something to the team that reads the _most_ passages by the end of the year.

We deliberately did not allocate all of the recent sponsorships to the grand prize so we can solve for this exact challenge. So, we have about $500k in unallocated prize money, and might use a good chunk of it towards something like this. We're open to ideas, and consulting with experts from Xprize etc.

From Kinesis to Kafka
In early 2021, a new data team was assembled in Kong to build a real-time data platform for Kong's SaaS platform, Konnect. The group initially used AWS Kinesis for their message queue but encountered limitations and pain points. As the company grew, running an internal Kafka cluster became more cost-effective, prompting a migration from Kinesis to Kafka.
The migration required integrating AWS MSK with the existing Druid cluster, setting up Private Link connectivity, and configuring AWS IAM authentication. A double-writing strategy ensured zero downtime during migration, and a feature flag controlled the UI rollout.
The migration took two months to complete and brought several benefits, such as improved library support, enhanced development experience, and better resource utilization.
Holy fuck, not me.

Honestly, I wish we could just skip straight to nothing but web apps. They work, they work consistently, they work cross platform.

Native apps are absolutely no guarantee you don't have performance problems, and I really don't think it's the render time for HTML/CSS in a webview that's slowing things down.

Most times it's just poor consideration for performance from the get-go. Chuck in a bunch of screens that are fetching remote resources before being displayed and viola... MS Teams.
