MetroPCS was just a MNVO that ran off of T-Mobile towers. It never had its own towers. It still exists as a separate pre-paid service provider even after the T-Mobile buyout. [1]

There are also hundreds of other low cost MNVO's in the US depending on which of Big-3 coverage do you prefer. A lot of times, the MNVO's as much cheaper than going with Big-3(AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon) but can get deprioritized during high traffic situations. [2]

Road salt alone in a city with actual winters will destroy these things... Not to mention that they'll be pretty thoroughly encased in ice and buried under feet of snow for months on end.

Add onto that it is a completely inaccessible design from a disability accessibility perspective, and you have a nice proof of concept for something that wouldn't pass muster in many places.

It needs to go back to the drawing board on pretty much every level before it could be considered for deployment where I live, at least.
My pet peeve is Java programmers still coding like Java 8 just came out.

Weird take, design patterns take off cognitive load. It's easier to say. Use an observe or strategy pattern or adapter pattern. In most sufficiently large OO code bases, folk end up implementing design patterns sometimes and often poorly, without knowing the names for them.
Fair point re: package management - but Python does support single-line conditionals, and reasonably robust type-checking with mypy.

I had a 5kW gas powered generator that more than lowered out 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house for when our power would go out - sometimes for several days (1 refrigerator, HVAC unit, microwave, electric washer/dryer, two laptops, 2 large screen TV's, hot water heater - all drawing power intermittently of course, but we never exceeded). It was about the size of a small riding lawn mower.

If I could have 5 refrigerator-sized boxes in my backyard powering my house, I would be in.
I'm trying NOT to make an argument, but to be even handed, and what do we need to understand about how these technologies will change.

I think in Australia it is difficult to find a non-turbo charged car. I was amazed when I moved here that everything is a 2l turbo 4 cylinder.

EVs aren't new, but there hasn't been considerable investment over the last 100 years. All the investment has happened in the last 20. Battery technology wasn't good enough until recently to justify investment in more efficient electric motors, etc.

Similarly, I think the improvements we are seeing in combustion engines is that they haven't had competition for 100 years, aside from one car company vs another. Now they have something that completely changes the game, and it is amazing to see how well that industry has responded from a performance standpoint.

Crazy how they just refused to believe (or properly assess whether it was true) that the software could have any issues, despite having reports of errors starting very soon after it went in. I find it extraordinary that they secured convictions despite the fact there wouldn’t have been any unexplained wealth or any money popping up elsewhere - although it seems in a lot of cases solicitors basically convinced the postmasters to make false confessions (kind of like plea bargains I guess).
I am really happy to see something like this. This is not a criticism of the project. Rather, I lament that more-and-more web-based projects document only a Docker-centered install process for self-hosting as opposed to the process of installing from source. This goes strongly against the spirit of self-hosting where you know what you're running and you see the steps and all the integrations that are needed, including any reliance on third-party services that may come back to bite you.

I feel like Docker-based installs are closer to binary, closed-source installs than they are to open-source, compile-or-build-from-source ones in how much they hide how the program works and limits where and how you can run the application. I'd love to hear points for against this, because I think this may also just be me yelling at a cloud like an old man now a days.

Edited for clarity.

I agree, it’s just very unprofessional. I wonder if this was the result of too much group chat nowadays.
pipes have an inherent data-first natural order processing that is counter to most programming languages

<take this file> | <do this to the file> | <then do this>

And UNIX philosophy says that is a good thing. I takes a universal UNIX technique (the pipe) and the programs just have to concentrate on processing input and output.

Sure you CAN use the args. Look up the fucking specific flag and syntax after the bajillion flags in the man pages (which all seem to lack good examples that would communicate this much more quickly.

But the cat | jp seems FAR more UNIXy. I agree, it is stupid to criticize cat there. This is pointless fad thinking by the author. Ignore it. There MAY be certain performance advantages possibly in certain high volume conditions like large files or something similar, if the program has "better" file processing than cat + a pipe. Maybe.

Anyway, I really like the data flow of a pipe command like:

cat <somefile> | sort | head -n 10

Meanwhile, this is how a programming language would look (one liner version):

head( sort( cat(<somefile) ), 10)

The logical flow of that, where you get data, sort it, then head it, is natural in the piped instance, but the practically every language ever version of it you need to parse the expression first, extract the inner steps, subparse / resolve the args to the head, then get the value.

The expression is "inside out" in a normal progarmming language. You have to turn it inside out: PUSH head op on the stack, PUSH sort onto the stack, resolve CAT, POP sort op, POP stack op.

The CLI + pipes has no stack, just a handoff

I have started doing "data first" programming a lot with say Groovy, where you can do:

String passed_in_filename = "/path/to/file"

passed_in_filename.
with { File.lines(it)}.
with { it.sort()}.
with { it.head(10)}

with a lot of the I/O or transform data code I write. (The with construct in groovy takes the output of the invoked code and then passes it to the provided closure, so I can chain the closures in the natural way that piped output works on the CLI)
Because they deserve linking every time someone mentions them.

For a state like the US, with it's laws and history on surveillance. I assume PKI has been compromised.

I don't check or audit my CA's and don't think most people do either. Wouldn't be surprised if more than one of these has been compromised in some fashion already. It only takes one and there's plenty to target.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, I found HDF5 to be a nightmare to work with and is on my short list of technologies I refuse to work with anymore.
I disagree with the author, all of those bugs they list cause people to get upset. Not harm.

You are talking about the cost of quality. Software quality comes at a cost. It's up to the business to determine how much it will spend on quality. If we had a zero bug policy in non safety critical applications the cost of goods would be too high.
The title can’t be rhetorical because it’s not a question
I use freshbooks for my small business (timekeeping, expenses, invoicing) and I just received notice my annual subscription fee will be increased from $270/yr to $324/yr.

Not only have they not added any new features to justify this fee increase, but they have actually removed a few features that I depended on like multi-currency reports. I am actively looking for an alternative.
Forgive me if I missed the objective quantitative measurement the article suggests to replace it.

GDP is kind of like measuring spending in your family when you should be measuring saving. It’s not meant to track personal well-being, but rather the strength of an economy, and for that, a better metric may be savings and investment rate.

Savings rate is a measurement of productivity normalized to consumption. Closely related is investment rate, which is savings times capital efficiency.
Sorry I should clarify, I don't mean append-only graphs,

I mean what people call "blockchain" in the cryptocurrency sense as actual projects - there's so much stigma largely because the motivation of most of the projects appears to be "making money/investing" and not actually solving a technical problem appropriately.

If github was like this there would be a "fee" for making making commits, this fee would be paid in some proprietary coin, initially created with an ICO/airdrop. Suddenly the motivation is holding these coins because developers will need to make commits right? And the more developers that make commits the more the coin is worth, so surely you should buy and hold them right? This will be a feedback loop of endless money! Oh and it'll be a DAO so the more coins the more voting power you get too!

^ This is what I mean, where the focus is on collecting some "coin/token" - this leads to both a lack of focus on the actual problem being solved, and the problem of people associating it with a ponzi scheme.

I'm not picking a fight with distributed graphs themselves, I don't like it when they're tightly coupled with "value" that can be traded as a fiat.

Since archive.org have now updated that the problem scraper is now evading countermeasures and bringing them down repeatedly, and has been identified as an "AI" company, it could end up being an existential risk: if companies start using archive.org as a large-scale commercial IP theft proxy, they will likely face even more legal challenges than they already do.

I once used that as my number at Garage Center, then didn’t shop there for ~10 years. When I went back, I’d forgotten. The kid at the register tried looking me up by email, my actual cell number, my previous one, and then finally resorted to *gasp* my actual name.

Then, having found me, I asked what number was in there, and he proceeded to read, with exactly zero recognition, <area code> 867-5309, and I just laughed on the outside, and cried a little on the inside.

So, yes, Nvidia is in a very good position right now. About the only things that can derail them are war in Taiwan or the appearance of new techniques that make inference computationally very cheap.
Private equity owners often have less short term incentives because their funds are usually 10 years long.

On average, an investment from purchase to exit may take ~5 years.

Whereas a public company with large institutional owners will have to respond to market feedback in real-time, i.e they are more likely to follow the herd if institutions (pension funds) demand a shift in industry trends (ie ESG). Whereas, private equity have no such concerns.

Long-term side-effects require longitudinal studies that can be done post facto. Give it 50 years, maybe. By then everyone who dreamt up the scheme will be already retired or dead — and no careers will ever be in jeopardy.

"Run don't walk. Either you're running for food, or you are running from being food:

1. Have the humility to confront failure and ask help.
2. Endure the pain needed to realize your dream.
3. Make sacrifices for your life's work."
Legislation relating to data leaks and software security are quickly killing all of our outsourcing contracts. We have some operational stuff still happening, but actual development and access to production systems is no longer an issue.

Now, some consultancies get around this by flying over Indian people who stay for the maximum amount of time their visa will allow them, living out of a hotel - but it's clear the quality of work these people are doing is so hit or miss, as often they staff the wrong people, with the wrong competencies, we basically tell them to fuck off on arrival and have to have arguments with our contacts on the ground here.

Overall, our dependency on India, and any other country that doesn't have similar laws in place regarding data breaches, privacy or liability is quickly becoming too risky.

Let's face it, if you earn $15-25K USD a year and you're given prod access to a retail database for a Fortune 500, finance, retail, customer-facing, tech services or platform company - you can turn your access into 10 years of salary in less than a week. There are recruiters for this on LinkedIn now, actively reaching out to people with offers for ransomware, data extortion or business-email-compromise profit-sharing arrangements.

And the risk is real.
> And half the time it doesn’t work because the hash is actually a ref

Perl still supports both „copy by value“ and „copy by reference“. For example:

my @copy = @original;
my %hash_copy = %orig_hash;
my @processed = foo_func(@copy);
my $ref = \@copy;
bar_func($ref); # modifies @copy in place

That’s why it uses these sigils to distinguish between references being scalar values (“$”) and actual lists/dictionaries (“@“ and “%”). Since Perl is also dynamically typed if it weren’t for the sigils, it would be quite confusing when reading “array[i] =“ somewhere not knowing whether it modifies an array created remotely or locally. Sigils communicate that because it reads “$array[$i] =“ for a local array or “$$array[$i]”
for a remote one.

In other languages like JavaScript or Python everything is basically a reference and, hence, you don’t quite need sigils there. However, on the flip side, you need to be more careful and constantly remind yourself of the fact you are dealing with references and not to accidentally modify the objects you get passed into your function.
That second POS sounds like it also matches the colloquial definition of the initialism. :)
Your point? Because your first goalpost was "most compilers don't even support PGO". And now the goalpost is Linux distros? How about this one - how many binaries at FB/G are built with PGO? Answer: a great deal (llvm/bolt is a FB project and MLGO is a G project).
A tool that legitimately put project status and client/ticket highlights into a meaningful single pane of glass that could be referenced so everyone was always on the same page. I’m not sure what that would ultimately look like, but being in the MSP world, the biggest issue I see faced is growing to the point that people no longer have any idea what others are doing and end up offering five different opinions for how to get from A to B while it turns out projects is already working on deploying a solution.
Every single certificate issued by a WebPKI CA (ie: a CA whose certificates are accepted by Google or Mozilla's root programs) is logged in a globally auditable tamper-proof log. You can stand up an instance of that log, or monitor any of the existing logs yourself. You're not relying on laws to surveil the WebPKI CAs, but rather mathematics.

Before the mob interprets what I am saying through their reality distortion field, I should note I am NOT hating on FOSS and defending closed-source software as general categories.

There is such a thing as useful industry-standard software on both sides of that divide. And it is perfectly OK to point this out. This doesn't have to be a war. This shouldn't be twisted into hatred or attacks on FOSS or even non-FOSS software. Nobody has the moral high ground. There is no such thing.

These are tools. Some are free and open, some are not. And that's perfectly OK. Sometimes a little critical thinking and reason is a good thing.

That seems exactly backwards.

With DNSSEC zones are controlled and signed by a single authority, and for CCTLDs that authority is controlled by ... the government. If they wanted to produce a malicious signature and serve it narrowly to a targeted victim ... that's quite doable with little in the DNSSEC system to prevent it.

While it's true that there many TLS root cert operators and some probably could be compromised by a government (though I wouldn't say "trivially"), there is also a gigantic mutual destruction pact in the form of certificate transparency that means all certs issued are visible in transparency logs and there are quite sophisticated technical and social controls in place to detect malicious certs. The cert operator would be imperiling their business and future trust in a way that isn't as true for DNSSEC.
