I agree, but in many ways it's a product of syndication. When you get out of that influence (e.g., independently published podcasters) the scope of quality becomes _much_ broader.

I'm old enough to remember finding good-quality content on NPR, but I now look toward podcasts in the special interest I'm looking for to find good-quality audio-streamed information.
Reasons why people pay for Red Hat:

1. Customer support
2. Certifications
3. Vendor support

I don't know another distribution of Linux that provides all these things to the extent Red Hat does. You don't use Red Hat because you want to, you use it because it's the only choice.

Any business could do exactly the same thing, and do it better than Red Hat. But there's really not much reason for a customer to move away from Red Hat if they're already on it, and it would take you a hell of a long time and a dumptruck full of capital to match them on the above.

Open Core is not a business model, just like Open Source isn't a business model. A business model is promising to fix a customer's problem, certify their software, and get vendors to support them. That alone will get you a yearly renewing contract for a couple million that you then upsell over time.
Touch is pretty important though...
Do you realise how priviledged your position is and how it invalidates your view? You understand 99% of the population doesn't just eat free-range artisan french cheese? And monitor their gains and their nutrition?

A lot of people just live you know. You seem to be very removed from normal life. Maybe think about how that affects your view?
That's why they created OpenShift which is arguably worth more than RHEL.

There’s a general obligation to preserve records pertaining to the subject of actual ot reasonably anticipated litigation, and chats are records.
Thanks. The law is kind of silly. A chat system that doesn't store history is functionally equivalent to an unrecorded call, but I'm guessing they would not consider an unrecorded call destruction of evidence.
It really seems to me that to succeed in business in the US one has to skirt the line of legality with regularity.
Does your iMac have an SSD? Mine doesn't, and I'm wondering if that would cause more issues.
None of this is particularly surprising, but it's very amusing to see the litigation go this route. It's incredible common for corporate legal to recommend purging data or communications no longer relevant, or to advise avoiding specific means of communication (like email) due to retention challenges.

It's incredibly dumb to explicitly discuss avoiding leading a paper trail with respect to subjects where litigation is imminent or already in progress.

The point of these legal policies is generally to avoid unnecessary risk. From a legal perspective it's impossible to control communication completely but advice to reduce the scope or volume of legal holds is almost always reasonable. Legal holds can be really painful, and it's not uncommon for a lot of unrelated communications to become in-scope.

This is exciting to see, I hope it triggers real change in corporate culture but I suspect it might simply make it even worse.
Correct, and valuable answers command balanced compensation.
I would respect such goals much more if they issued a ban against building new fossil fuel capacity, rather than having the opposite goal of building new fossil fuel power plants in order to provide energy when solar and wind has non-optimal weather conditions.

Such ban would go well in hand with the decision to phase out cars that run on fossil fuels in 2035.

I'm surprised nobody seems to have questioned how it was possible that Microsoft went from these emails to releasing the Zune Store.

For those not familiar, the ZuneHD was an incredible device. I still miss mine and wish someone would build a phone that felt as good.

To buy music, you had to buy Microsoft points(1). Points had to be purchased in a minimum of $5 increments, and I think you got more points depending on how much you spent. Then your songs would be 87 points, or some ridiculous number. It was basically hostile to the user experience. Nobody wanted Microsoft points, and they were discontinued in 2013.

markov compression is closer, but yeah i think thats about right.
It does record "history" - if it didn't, the recipient would see it appear and then immediately vanish in the next refresh of the screen, which is not the case. The thing is, it only keeps the history for a short period of time (hours/days). That's not the same thing as an unrecorded call, which isn't recorded for any period at all.
Zune was a dud because it was late to the game, and also was too expensive to compete with a superior UI similarly priced in the iPod.

It was a fine music player, with a ton of wasted potential as a general purpose computer during a time before everyone had smartphones.
Since when is "approval" part of the legislative process? Don't remember that on Schoolhouse Rock. IMO that was totally a click bait headline trying to fool you into thinking it is now law.
Yes, if you view Time, Space, Intelligence and Consciousness as emergent, things make a lot more sense.

This upsets people because it implies that the most fundamental parts of their existence are not "real", but to your point it is very helpful to approach them as if they are not "real" regardless of what is actually fundamental to reality.
Is there any particular reason for your skepticism towards AMD in this context?
Obviously different subjects are different things, but there's substantial overlap between the duties and responsibilities of the two. They're both teacher in the educational bureaucracy so they have the same sort of paperwork to file and meetings to attend, and various identical non-classroom duties such as watching over study halls or lunch hour, bus duty, etc. Gym teachers often get tasked with classroom lecturing too (health/wellness, sex ed, etc.)
> So there's actually no reason to even invoke the streams API there.

While technically correct, in practice it is not the case.

First of all (and this relates to flerchin's comment), it's not actually done at "compile time" in the traditional sense (i.e. when you invoke `javac`). Rather, it is done at runtime when the method is compiled by the JIT.

As for this comment, the call to `IntStream.rangeClosed` will not simply be reduced to `(b - a) + 1` as you suggest (and one reason for this is that streams are far more complex internally than regular iterators). In reality, it will just be (potentially) inlined and then further optimized alongside the rest of the method's code.

Edit: the mentioned previous comment was from flerchin, not meese

Edit 2: I might have misunderstood what you were getting at there. You are sort of correct in that the `count` operation on this stream is optimized, but it is still technically going through the streams API.
Presumably that would be legally OK, as long as that message itself wasn't deleted.
I don't think I could do FDA software, it sounds so painful. Same with voting machines that are properly regulated (had a CTO at one point who previously did that sort of work and he had stories to tell). Fintech is hard enough.
I think it would be a great benefit to our country if governments started phasing out the purchase of any proprietary software.

If you want to make software for the government, it must be public domain.

In the long run we'd all have lower taxes, more efficient government, and better software for all to use.

The downside would be some people in the 1% would no longer earn billions in fees from the rest of us for "licensing" software laden with technical debt to the government.

My Downloads folder is one of the few that actually is clean. In fact, it's usually empty. Everything downloaded is downloaded for a reason, and gets moved to the right spot as soon as the download is complete.
I will admit that I suspect some of the reason does indeed lie in having 'impromptu' conversations, which are helpfully not recorded anywhere. The other two pieces are real estate and 'feeling' of control. I am not sure which one bears more weight.
What are you talking about? If scientific models aren't developed based on data, then what are they developed based on? Divine inspiration?

No. Very obviously no. The multi-post diversion about Kepler's laws is explicitly evidence to the contrary since Kepler's laws are a curve fitting exercise which matches astronomical data in a specific context but doesn't properly describe the underlying process - i.e. their predictive power vanishes once the context changes. But they do simplify down to Newton's Law once the context is understood.

New data is sought out for models to determine whether they are correct because a correct model has to explain existing data and predict future data. The Bohr Model of the atom was developed because it explained the emission spectra of hydrogen well. It's not correct because it doesn't work anything but hydrogen...but it's actually correct enough that if you're doing nuclear magnetic resonance (which is very hydrogen-centric for organic molecules) then it is in fact good enough to predict and understand spectra with (at least in 1D, 3D protein structure prediction is it's own crazy thing).

This is the entire point of deep learning techniques. The whole idea of latent space representations is that they learn underlying structural content of the data which should include observations about reality.
I am not a particular fan of Cohen’s music, but as far as humans go, I think he led a fascinating life. He was a poet, a novelist, a singer/songwriter … and he found success (and failure) multiple times at very different stages of his life.

I recently watched “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song” (2022), and would recommend it as a starting place to anyone who’s at least vaguely familiar with the titular song.

Incorrect. It's like saying what it did say, which is that that everything fails, and if one thing has one failure mode, some other thing just has some other failure mode.

The fact that an ssd has much less chance of suffering a mechanical problem is not an important fact, since the problem is loss of data, not the particular mechanism of loss of data.

An ssd certainly loses less data, in the short term, in a laptop. And then when you remove that ssd or store that laptop, as little as 5 years later you can have flipped bits, which is a thing that absolutely does not happen with a decommissioned hdd from a desktop.

The same goes for use in a nas where a given file may get written once and then never re-written but possibly read multiple times, and neighboring cells read multiple times. Over time the ssd loses bits, the hdd does not.

The advantages of an ssd are just a local maxima.
Zero commission indeed sounds fishy, but what if there is a commission?

Inexperienced (euro-pampered) me went to a money exchange place that charged a fee because I know it costs money for them to have random icelandic kronar on hand so that's fair, then they don't need hidden fees right? I also knew the bank from name, it's a household name in my country.

Later at home I checked and I paid out of my ass for the exchange rate, never mind the fee on top...

I thought I was being clever by doing it at departure where you can compare and say no. At the destination airport, you have no choice but to exchange, everyone will need the local currency to pay for things and so I thought it's better to be prepared than potentially be paying the prices of the desperate. Yeah. No.

(A few hours of air time later, I learned that in Iceland you just pay by bank card for everything at iirc 0.3% fee and you don't need to exchange no cash.)
Why does AWS seem to suggest otherwise?

>> With only a few lines of additional code, you can add either data parallelism or model parallelism to your PyTorch and TensorFlow training scripts and Amazon SageMaker will apply your selected method for you. SageMaker will determine the best approach to split your model by using graph partitioning algorithms to balance the computation of each GPU while minimizing the communication between GPU instances. SageMaker also optimizes your distributed training jobs through algorithms that are designed to fully utilize AWS compute and network infrastructure in order to achieve near-linear scaling efficiency, which allows you to complete training faster than manual implementations.

I replaced all of my hard drives with 2 large SSDs and haven’t looked back. Sure it cost a bit more but spinning rust just sucks and the cost difference is far smaller now.
One thing is to prevent the market to decide prices, and a very different thing is to let bad-faith actors to continue going around unchecked. The first scenario allows us to collectively make a bigger cake and then figure out how to share it. The second scenario allows the two biggest bullies to stomp over half of the cake while fighting who is to claim a bigger slice!

It is ok to let people with bigger appetites to eat more; but if you cannot be civil and keep wasting food, why wouldn't the others kick you out of the table?
You’re very right about that.

Maybe? There are many companies and consultants that take payment from you and then negotiate across different shippers, mortgage companies, insurance companies, car dealerships, and so on. It's plausible someone could have paid a middleman and not known there were bribes involved.
I moved from an HFT firm to Google. The attitude difference with respect to document holds was hilarious.

At the HFT firm, the attitude was, "we're constantly being sued (by the SEC and others), so we treat all of our records like they're under litigation holds, just in case the SEC claims they wanted them, even the off-topic slack channels."

At Google, the attitude was, "we're constantly getting sued, so we treat all of our records as being as ephemeral as possible so we can avoid having a record of what we're doing."

Eh, OpenShift is too opinionated to be valuable for the companies that can afford it, and way too expensive for those that might benefit from it vs a cloud based PaaS. OpenShift's biggest problem has always been that it continues to diverge just enough from vanilla k8s to require "OpenShift specific" shit for everything.

I don't see OpenShift getting the same COTS lift as RHEL, so in my mind it's still going to be a net loss for RH long term as that revenue leaves RHEL and doesn't go to OCP.

Then loser starts complaining because sandwich cost $15 when they have to rebuy it at their ride.
turns out the russians can do it just as well, if not better (see above for examples, most of which the US never said w/r/t Iraq or Afghanistan, making it uniquely russian gish gallop)

macOS already does all of that for all programs. I think the main problem here is that macOS only protects certain directories and not others. Programs can request access to Documents or Downloads, or they can request full-disk access (e.g. to read Library/Messages).

For unprotected directories like Library/Keychains, programs can just copy the encrypted database. Since the malware obtains the keychain password with a fake password prompt, it can decrypt the database.

Mind linking the post you're quoting?
You cannot have democracy without belief in objective truth.

You have described a platform that supports mob rule, not one that supports democracy and not one that supports objective truth.

You sound pretty young, and I certainly remember thinking things like what you wrote. Now that I am older, peace is a less attractive word. Far too often peace means someone not resisting the use of force, rather than peace meaning force not being used. The distinction is subtle but deeply important.

If you want to become a little more politically mature, Yale history professor Timothy Snyder is probably both a person you would agree with from a values perspective and a person who would say you are very wrong.

You sound motivated and like you want to help the world with Tech. In my early 20's I scoffed at the government. Having grown older, I wish I had not been so anti-government. If you want to help the world with tech, you should checkout the USDS and put your skills to use there.

If fairtalk picks up, it will just be a conservative echo-chamber because it describes a conservative belief system. Liberal people would never want to be a part of it because the idea of objective truth, truth without contradiction, is a core liberal belief. If 70% of the people don't believe in global warming, that doesn't matter if there is actually global warming. The majority thinking there is global warming has no bearing on whether there is actually global warming or not.

> Fairtalk is a social platform that lets the majority decide everything.
