I agree. To add my POV, I feel this is just another step in the pimping of national land. The government and American people are once again being taken advantage of by one of the big consulting firms. Big surprise. Places like Gatlinburg have become cesspools as it's pretty much a mini Las Vegas of the East. As someone who came from a rural background, you couldn't pay me to go to one of the bigger national parks so I can wait in line to faux climb a peak.

On the private land side, more and more landowners are leasing their land for hunting. I'm in the rural midwest - not long ago you could hunt on just about any private property simply by walking up to the person's front door and asking nicely. Nowadays more and more properties are leased out and under strict contracts that limit access. In my area many contracts limit foot traffic, not just hunting.

Luckily my family owns land, and we let neighbors on it, but this is becoming more and more outlier philosophy. I totally get it all and understand it from an economic point of view, but it doesn't make it suck any less.

On the public side however, this just doesn't sit right with me. There must be a different solution.

Well ARPA already had a margin factror...they had about 256 computers that needed addresses, and left space for 2^24 times 256, or 4,294,967,296 computers.

The growth ended up to be exponential over time. So maybe a better margin would be expressed exponentially along the lines of "build it for 2^(doubling_constant * number_of_years) the load."

Ye no proofs at all. The feasibility depends a lot on what they mean with "sailing". I guess their use includes "rowing" and "drifting".
Maybe some variability with batteries, even with everything on I get around 3 weeks. Agree with the rest of what you said though, it's not a high-end device but I don't really have to care where I bring it for the price point. I think their Bip was a better rounded device but I like physical buttons like the Pebbles had.

(Oh and without a phone the Neo's clock drifts multiple seconds per week, vs about a 2 second drift for my F-91W over the course of TWO YEARS.)
Datadog prices are out of this world. I assumed their front facing prices were for the lone dev, so when I reached out as a company looking to integrate multiple of their products I expected a deal, and got very little compromise. I told them up front they were going to have to cut prices by 90% for us to consider them -- no budge. And they are pretty belligerent salesman, not wanting to leave me alone. After a while I just blocked their domain to my email.

Right, but it is not in the writer’s union to let everyone understand the true situation, presumably because it would hamper their negotiating position.

Not that the union has any obligation to release the data, but just an example for why I assume I am not getting a clear picture when I am not provided the distribution, when it would be trivial to do so.

^ This. Physically mailing the letter makes a difference. (Been there, done that).
I wonder if there are two uncontrolled parameters here.

Firstly, the space and time scales. If your two-pizza team has twenty services, and they communicate like this, and interfaces change a few times a week, then there will be quite a lot of pointless paperwork. If your two-pizza team has one service, used by other teams, and the interfaces change once a month, then this might be an appropriate amount of speed bump.

Secondly, tooling. If your APIs are all done by hand, then making an update is a modest amount of boilerplate. If you are generating everything from schemas, and you have your build down tight, then it can be a matter of changing the schema file, pushing, waiting for that to propagate, then adding the necessary data to the message you changed.

“The numbers are meaningless without a ton more context.”

Just keep thinking in this direction and apply it to any and all hoops you make employees jump through.

It’s the same with coding challenges, quizzes, and any other evaluation you give. They are meaningless without more context and the only way you can get those is working with a person for a few months.

No. Maybe I heard and even knew what it is, but I never needed it.

Just 'somebinary args args args', 'run only one instance' and I'm done.

Well, yep. Reinventing the wheel each other time.

Thanks, I have some more important things (like browsing HN) than writing shitty shell scripts.
Why would you have to explain that in an interview? How would that conversation even happen? First they would have to ask you to explain the process of improving your resume, then you'd have to get into a conversation about how you read some tips from a blog post, then you'd need to tell them the blog post used the DENNIS acronym for humour, then explain the DENNIS system in its always sunny.
I don't believe the SEC itself has shared that information.
So, an actor on a popular show can get, say 500k per episode. And, sure, they have to be good at acting for the show to be good. However, without good writing, they wouldn't have a good show either. The writers don't get that much per episode. They might get that per SEASON. Seems largely unfair.

Is it the distance that matters, or the ratio between distance and coil width?

Because the latter comes across pretty favorably.
Not so sure about that last part. He's definitely an incredible force in terms of coding, project management, stuff like that. The Julia package ecosystem wouldn't be half of what it is without him.

But "best damn advocate" is probably the opposite of how I'd describe him in terms of interactions here (and generally with people outside the core Julia circle). He very often comes across as dismissive, overly defensive, and passive aggressive in comments here. All of that is dwarfed by his package contributions tbh, in terms of impact on Julia. But still, probably half of the negative perception about Julia community that people have, come from reading these interactions.

I've always hated the resort fees. They're an absolute scam. Hotels went from having free WiFi anyway, to having free WiFi and charging a "resort fee" for covering the amenity of free WiFi. Food and beverage credits are basically never worth it. At least you had something for loyalty in the past, HHonors Diamond would get you free breakfast at any Hilton property globally. No more, you get $10-$18/day in F&B credit, when it typically costs $35-60/day for breakfast. To add insult to injury, the locations you most likely will encounter resort fee scams are also locations that tax the ever-loving shit out of you. Nothing galls me more than visiting San Francisco and having to pay extra taxes on top of the normal already high taxes in California/SF because I'm city-center. Yep, definitely worth the extra money as I dodge mentally ill people, needles, and human feces to walk from my hotel past a luxury boutique to get a burger for dinner at a corner diner where it's only $25 for a simple burger instead of the $45 the hotel charges.

I've traveled a lot, I've never once got my money's worth out of a resort fee. At least in Las Vegas there's a way to decline it, but they just won't let you connect to the WiFi from the room. If you're in Vegas for anything other than a business trip, you're probably not going to be spending much time on WiFi anyway, and I have unlimited 5G data on my mobile phone + tethering. It's absolutely a scam, and it's ridiculous you get taxed on paying bullshit fees, it's just a way for the government to scam you too at the same time they give businesses a pass for scamming you with bullshit fees.
Well, Facebook (and most other websites) is a private corporate premises, they can certainly stop doing business with anyone for any legal reason (e.g. they just don't like you).

Taking money from you is a different matter, of course. But they don't have any obligations to provide you their services.
I believe the philosophy was to leave it up to the service to behave sensibly, including things like have a circuit breaker, use some kind of backoff/retry, and generally be robust in the face of resource contention.

It kind of feels like this is putting the policy of "don't all go at once" into the cron mechanism, which is just starting jobs at desired times.
Genomes also don't do intention on their own, and yet venomous pointy things like spines and teeth and claws evolved. Do you think we're unjustified in calling them weapons?

This seems like a pretty significant semantic shift from what multi-factor originally meant. I think the real problem here is that the original idea of factors came from an environment where a person is being authorized for physical access to a controlled facility and the factors are being checked by a trusted deputy of the relying party. The different factors really mean something when you are being checked at a facility gate.

What you "know" is held in your mind and up to your will whether to divulge or not. You might not have a choice if put under duress.

What you "have" is possessed on your person and you may choose to present it but you may be forced to reveal it in a search. You may have had a choice as to which possessions to carry with you to the facility or which to hide and disavow.

What you "are" are passively observable characteristics of yourself that the facility may choose to measure and which may be difficult for an imposter to replicate. You would probably be unable to withhold these characteristics.

Once we water this down into a remote access to a website, these factors become vague analogies. In the end, the website is only able to observe information from the local user agent. How much can the website deputize end-user equipment and trust it to make any of these distinctions on its behalf?

What you know and what you have start to blur together as different grades of information. There may be no real way for the website to distinguish whether it came from your mind or from some storage or communication device in your possession.

What you are and what you have start to blur together as well. There may be no way for the website to distinguish how you protected your possessions (i.e. via biometrics or PIN), or whether you involved other parties who helped with this.

In this case, the distribution (for which it's not clear the numbers are public) is pretty important. A storyline that showrunners of hit shows make bank while the typical scriptwriter sending a spec script in to a studio makes zilch is basically "water is wet." Judging whether writers in film/TV in general have a real gripe with compensation (given that median salaries seem pretty decent) needs some more granularity.
The client supports seamlessly streaming games from my PC to any device I own. A friend in another city is able to play local co-op games that have no online support.

Controller support in Steam has continued to improve: supporting pretty much any controller, gyroscopes, per-game custom mappings, sharing/applying community created mappings, etc. I'm not aware of anything similar in competitor's stores.

Library filtering and search is hugely improved over the old system that only supported manually adding games to your own tag categories. "Dynamic collections" can be created which include games based on store tags, genre, controller support, whether a particular list of friends also have the game, and a few other things.

Updates/news for games you own or are following is a lot more visible than it used to be as well.
We don't know. I wonder if the universe uses compression on stuff like that? It's a funny idea, but if information actually is mass/energy, you could measure that mass/energy, and if it was different for the cleared drive... Then you could prove that the universe is self-compressing. That would be a bit mind blowing.

A lot of "Ifs" though.
So what's the plan when some services think that's a bug and others think it's a feature? You fix some and break others.

So you can make a new function. Maybe one calls the other. They do nearly the same thing but not quite. Some dependencies move to the new one, some don't.

Or you version the library. Shortly after, people want mixes of behaviour from different libraries, and someone else wants two dependencies that each want different versions of the library.

I don't have a good recommendation here but silently changing the behaviour of libraries is not necessarily a better play than not doing that.
Tricks for packing data are still relevant today, though obviously hardware has changed so the tricks are different. One important concept on today's machines is that memory latency is huge relative to the cost of executing other instructions (eg: arithmetic, logic). In some senses, such packing has become even more important as time has gone on. There was a point in history when memory operations and ALU operations were about the same speed, so it made sense to keep even small computations in memory, and retrieve them later (eg: a lookup table, possibly pre-computed). Nowadays, it is often faster to re-compute values from scratch when needed, rather than going to memory, even for biggish computations.

In today's world, the GPU largely deals with textures, but the same rule holds — it can make sense to compute values rather than doing texture fetches. Anyway, I'd say your instinct is right — developers are still using lots of tricks to get things where they are. There is still a lot of competitive pressure to provide more, more, more and squeeze the most out of the hardware.

All that said, the 100GB download is often going to be audio/video. Then probably textures. There is certainly standard compression going on for a lot of that. But not the sort of manual "these texels go here, those texels go there" fiddling of data like described in this article. Though UV unwrapping is still and art and a science (:
Where are the in-depth leaks from China and Russia?

Are you naive enough to think that the CCP doesn't have a massive and complex surveillance apparatus? Do you expect the US to tie its hands behind its back when competing against the CCP?

All this kind of talk is from a position of not understanding or not accepting the reality of what's at stake. These countries are autocratic and they want control of the world.

The US with all its faults is the better path forward.
Yes, that is correct. The assumption in the example is that users are flattish, and you need to "do something" to get marginal growth.

In the early days, you saw very real pricing growth (due to better targeting) and volume growth due to user growth. Over the last ten years or so, I believe that a lot of the growth has been greater ad density, and ad density is much more important for controlling financial results...which is the key point when it comes to exec behaviour. Execs can't turn on user growth, they can add more ads to a product if they see numbers coming in light.
Also missing are viable costs. If arXiv didn't have the support of some nonprofit societies and grants from foundations, it would be in significant trouble.
More efficient for sure, but it would be very convenient, and could drive acceptance of EVs. As a bonus, you don‘t need to allocate space to charging stations.

This helps, but doesn't fully solve the problem. You still end up using the same runtime so it's not like the teams are fully independent. Classic problem is you have a /Team1 and /Team2 folder (or library that gets imported, doesn't matter). Team1 needs to upgrade to pandas 2. They try, but wait, Team2's code depends on Tensorflow which depends on pandas 1.x. You are now in dependency hell[0] and need to do something unpleasant, whether that's forcibly updating everything in that pandas/TF/etc dependency chain, which can be a long and painful project in large codebases, if it gets done at all. Or doing JAR shading or fork-and-rename to be able to support both pandas==1.x and pandas=2 in the same runtime, which may not even work in pandas' case. Or the most common thing, which is just give up and stick with comically outdated libraries and runtimes for way too long. Hello, Java 6/7.

Isn’t that the hardest to get a hold of these days? I figure the entire western supply is being stockpiled by militaries and/or being sent to Ukraine. Or unavailable due to sanctions (not sure how much was manufactured in Russia and making its way to North America).

Though I’d argue military ammunition is moreso built to pierce through armour that most civilian’s bodies and personal vehicles won’t have.
