Honestly the most important thing is that the names convey something meaningful to the other developers working on the codebase - so if in doubt ask them!
I'd also say names that are easily searchable are that much easier to work with. On that basis coming up with the simplest/shortest name possible shouldn't necessarily be your first priority, as you'll likely come up with names that are already in use all through the codebase, often for quite different purposes. And to assist with auto-complete etc it's arguably better to have the more-likely-to-be-unique part of the name near the front, though English doesn't tend to make that the natural choice, esp. for functions where you typically want to start with a verb.
Have there been Matrox drivers for OpenStep?

I don’t remember what other multihead graphics cards existed at that time. For multiple video cards, you again had to reach for Matrox, since they were produced in both PCI and AGP variants and I’m unsure about other brands.

> But I’m coming at this from a GCP lens and got half way through the article about how the recommended unit of isolation in the AWS environment is entirely different AWS accounts and I’m kind of hung up on that. Is that really a thing people tend to do often? Doesn’t it get super unwieldy?

There are AWS systems above the account level for managing it (Organizations), so its not quite as bad as it might naively seem, but, yes, its more unwieldy than GCP’s projects.
The TGV averages ~280 km/h on several long-distance routes in France. For example, Paris-Strasbourg (490 km) takes 1:45.
The concept of line-worker software engineers seems like the problem in this parable. People need the ability to have some small amount of override and the ability to make decisions without risking their jobs, even if it's somewhat boxed to their experience level. Leaving everything up to management only is a way to ensure that little gets done and no one's happy doing it.
You can have sub-accounts that roll up billing to a main account. Still messy, but probably cleaner (security policy wise) and possibly safer (fewer production impacting accidental config changes?) than having a single giant account with _lots_ of things mixed together.
> This is just how humans are.

It's the choice you make; 'it's just how I am' is a weak defense. It's surprisingly trendy to say bad behavior is inevitable. Human's have been biologically the same for ~300,000 years, but our behavior has changed dramatically. Behavior in different places right now varies greatly.

Also, is there factual or expert basis for this theory?
And yet, even with all your "years of training, education and experience", the said for-profit publisher is writing such low- quality science journalism articles. It's been only weeks and the article in a maliciously dismissive tone suggests all the replication efforts are in vain and pointless. Is this expected behavior from scientists?
I am well-aware of the very high publication standards of Nature.
I don't care it's a for-profit business. I don't care if, in the end the studies disprove the hyped claims. All I'm saying is this kind of shoddy poor-quality stuff isnt something I expect from someone actually serious about real science

> I'd be making them a predictive modeling piece which would help them get to MVP and get funded

In this funding environment (and even in a much better one), they're not going to get funding just because they have a working product. They'll need to show months (likely multiple quarters) of rapid revenue growth.

And if you're able to just build them a fundable product right away, what do they bring to the table? They can't build their own product, they don't have money...

I've also never heard of anyone get funding for predictive modeling because the modeling never works that well and is easy to replicate.

How we are migrating (many of) our servers from Linux to FreeBSD – Part 3
I am a BC100 owner. Work pays for it in lieu of a company car, so I only have to pay taxes on it, which comes out to about 160 euros per month. Like you say, I'm in the "it doesn't pay for itself" camp, but like the thread starter says,

> It's a great peace of mind to just hop onto any bus/tram/train in the country and not have to worry about tickets

It's like with theme parks: I prefer paying one big sum at the start and then getting to enjoy myself for the whole day over being nickle-and-dimed at every ride.

I don't do it very often, but I've more than once visited other cities in the area on a whim because the marginal cost is zero. That specialty shop in another city 400 kilometers away? Suddenly within reach, if the only cost to get there is time. And being on a train instead of driving a car means I can work while getting there and back.

And then there's the other perks of the BC100 that make travelling generally more chilled: Large stations have frequent-travelers' lounges with free drinks and working spaces. On long-distance trains, there's a section of the train (usually a quarter of a railcar) that's reserved for frequent travellers and BC100 owners, so I don't have to worry about seat reservations even when the trains are crowded. The purchase price for a 2nd-class BC100 also gives enough bonus points for 8-9 free upgrades to First Class per year; I use those when I know I'll be going for a particularly long distance.
Yeah, I seriously considered it. I was worried they'd try to bill me for it and I wasn't up for the fight. I knew I was moving to Comcast, at that point. The move from AT&T to Comcast to Sonic, each time, has felt like a 10x improvement.
Video games are like that too, just put in default models, textures, placeholder music, and iterate until it's done. Mind you, some placeholders have copyright protection, IIRC a game shipped recently with copyrighted music that was used as a placeholder.

> Measuring how much utilities make directly and using that to argue that they should be discontinued is naive at best and downright dangerous at worst.

I see this formulation so much. Almost these exact words, although the topic varies. Why is that? Thoughts are not dangerous, yet people keep saying they are.

Incidentally the formulation often has the additional characteristic yours also does, which is assuming I said something I didn't. No one mentioned discontinuing anything.

This is a judgement that you personally made, without explanation. The person who you replied to thought that it was a bad analogy, and explained themselves.
I think it's because with FP libraries you generally end up fighting the language to some extent.

> if we had infinite resolution monitors we wouldn't need anti-aliasing.

Color is based on frequency. There's an inherent limit to the range of light colors our eyeballs can process.

When changing sampling rates. If the monitors resolution and the font resolution were identical, then would bandlimiting actually have any effect?

You should be able to organize accounts hierarchically using AWS Organizations, which allows to have cost centers and centralized billing (and some imposed policies over all accounts).

It really depends on the type of financial institution that has given the loan. A bank for this type of transaction is very unlikely nowadays, so I guess it is a private credit fund. Given that they have probably applied some sort of traditional Loan-to-value ratio, it's very likely that the $2.3 billion is only a portion of the total value. Meaning the cloud provider has received e.g. 50 or 80% of the total value of the H100's as a loan. It surely is not very much since electronics have a high depreciation rate from an accounting perspective (3-5 years max).
Nutrition demonstrably effects brain development, and this adversely effects both economically disadvantaged countries and economically disadvantaged populations in developed countries.

OK, can you tell me, objectively, how attractive Tom Holland and Hailee Steinfeld are?

I can tell you objectively how tall they are, if one is taller than the other, and precisely how much. Height is an objective measurement.

What are the attractiveness measurements for Tom and Hailee? Which is more attractive, and by how much? What is the scale? What are the reference points? How are the instruments used to measure it calibrated?

If aliens showed up on earth, how would you explain this objective measurement to them? How would aliens rate on it? How would their native measure of objective attractiveness compare to ours? In comparison to how their measures of length, or time, or temperature, or mass, would.
As with a lot of medicine the dosage matters a lot. I will take .5 mg of melatonin when going to bed earlier than usual and the effect is fairly subtle. But it's commonly sold in 10mg doses which seems very high.
No. If you have to infantilize something for them, they're not capable of learning it.
I don’t understand why this isn’t blindingly obvious. A copyright holder releasing their software under an open license is a huge privilege given to their customer. It doesn’t matter what reading they are doing it - marketing, hoping for external contribution, goodwill, etc. - it is their right to choose a license. It is also their right to change their license at any time.

While I’ve not chosen RedHat for my own projects, I used it for nearly two decades at companies where it was already in place. Some of those had support contracts, others didn’t. Based on my experience, RedHat is one of the main reasons Windows didn’t completely take over backend systems. They offered a cohesive, supported server OS that could be run for less than the cost of Windows or Unix servers on nearly any hardware. I could enumerate the things I don’t like about RedHat Linux, but in an enterprise setting, the volumes of documentation, mature and complete set of repositories, and huge community essentially negate my own preferences.

Their new licensing may make them irrelevant going forward, but I’m thankful for all they’ve done overall… except for systemd, burn it with fire! ;-)
That's easy. Create one, try to implement a bit of it, throw the design away, and then create the real one.

Debt and equity are effectively the same thing with different pricing. Either way, you'd be investing in a completely unproven venture with no customers and no investors.

Even for seasoned professionals, investing in a company like that is considered setting money on fire. So I'll just reiterate that you should do this project if you want to, but consider the compensation to be $0 because (short of a miracle) that's what it is.

Is it still useful to teach kids how to code? I'm genuinely asking. I am the father of two 12-year-olds and I'm teaching them how to code, but I wonder if it will really be useful in the long run, in a world where there is ChatGPT, AI code assistants, and, most importantly, everything else that will emerge in the coming decade (i.e. english to code and whatnot)
Interesting. But of course there is a lot of investment bottleneck (or whatever the translation for „Investitionsstau“ is). For example take the „Neue Alpentransversale“ [1][2] which was a 40 year project for modernizing the tracks through Swiss with connections to all neighbouring countries. The Swiss are finished. Germany did not even start and will be ready around 2040, for just 190km of tracks.

I agree with much of what you say. But how are we supposed to get there from here? It seems hard, if not impossible, to convince entrenched interests to give up the game. It seems even harder to get “the people” united enough to overthrow entrenched interests, given what we’ve seen of the increasing dysfunctionality of public political discourse.

That business is based on violating a license.
The way this works with AWS is similar to you making a GCP project.

At the top level you have an organization account, which is where billing occurs.

From this org account you create accounts for the following (typically):

1. Security - AKA the account your USERS are in
2. Ops - The account your monitoring, etc are in

From here where a lot of people seem to deviate (I've been interviewing level 2-3 SREs for the last 3 weeks and have heard all about different AWS structures that I don't like) is how to break up your applications into their own accounts for a low blast radius.

What I DO, and is well known as being the best practice, is to create an AWS account for each environment of each application.

App1-sandbox
App1-staging
App1-production

Then your terraform is also structure by application/environment/service. Each environment and application has it's own state in s3 and dynamodb.

And so on.

Is this unwieldly? I have 40-50 AWS accounts and no it's not unwieldly at all IMO. Cross account IAM and trust relationships are set up very early on and they don't need to be modified much if any at all until you create another AWS account. Creating a new AWS account is kind of annoying, though. I need to automate that process better.

I agree with this.

I don't think it makes sense to be "oop" or "fp".

Different problems have characteristics that lend themselves to different techniques.

Difficult code based come from purists who value theory over practicality.

I have a very strongly enforced "don't be clever" rule for teams I manage.

Code should read like a story, good code reduces congnitive load.

I've seen some chains of map, reduce, filter, etc... written by FP purists that are difficult to decipher.

Good code is a love letter to the next developer.
Mimosa pudica is another fast-moving plant, which isn't carnivorous (and not closely related)

Some Drosera (sundew) species actively curl their leaves around prey, but rely on the prey being stuck to their leaves already, so different to the mechanism of a VFT. Drosera and VFT are in the same family, so are pretty closely related.

There's Utricularia (bladderworts) which are capable of catching prey rapidly, but the plant itself doesn't really move I guess.
I think it really depends on your major. In Business studies and Germany this is absolutely the case. Mannheim, St. Gallen, Milano, TUM.

In CS in Germany this is not the case. There are better or worser schools but it is not a big thing. More important, github profiles, experience etc.

For the Politicians I dont see a common pattern. There are diversity issues (rather male, mostly Lawyers or Political Scientist) but German politicians are quiet diverse by background.
Example by chancellors
Scholz: Rather worser law university
Merkel: Good, but not best Eastern Germany University in physics.
Schröder: From a very poor family, but rather good law university.

Except Bucerius law school I am not aware of any university with lots of politicians aspirants. (And Bucerius is not that big)

It can be frustrating finding it in reasonable doses. I remember reading somewhere that the original formula was quite a small dose and other manufacturers simply increased the dose to get around the patent. Naturally, people showed a preference for the higher doses because they assumed it must be better, despite a lack of evidence. As a result, manufacturers making pills with a more reasonable dose were less likely to sell their product and a general trend of increasing doses was observed. This is why it’s easy to find 10-25mg dosed pills in stores, but difficult to find anything sub 3mg, let alone sub 1mg.

Oh I didn’t mean to imply that the Allies were all nice and cosy or anything. I was just pointing out the difference between a belief in soft power and a belief in hard power, and how those ideologies extended into technological research. The Allies believed in control through soft power and that kind of systems-based approach put engineers and scientists higher in the social-political hierarchy while the hard power approach of the Nazis put them much lower.

Edit: as far as Russia is concerned it seems to me that they won their front through sheer endurance in the face of the most horrifying trauma. I’d say they were more into hard power than the US and UK so… yea maybe I should be more specific when I talk about the Allies.
Theoretically you could build a self-contained browser and run it there.

In practice, even if you managed, say, to port a modern Firefox and all its baggage down to OpenSSL and even GCC to compile it in a mighty for of herculean effort, it would still likely die of a thousand paper cuts anyway because quite a lot of syscalls would be expected to have evolved since.
