I would not paint it that way. For fish, it is often the case the male takes care of the eggs, and the females are free of any responsibility.

There are other behaviours in the sea, and they are in general so different to mammals that we can consider them as alien.

I would even say mammals are the edge case, just by virtue of having a fewer number of species than fish, arthropods, insects, and almost any other clad.

You are simply more used to mammals, to the point it seems the only natural behaviour.
To anyone interested in the history of IBM (and I think the TJ Watson Jr. era has many lessons to teach!), be sure to also read IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black. I read this recently -- and wished I had read it much earlier.[0]

> From the days when having a camera on you was a rare event.

I was listening to Come From Away - the musical based on the planes that were diverted to Gander on 9/11, and it made me realise how much I take a mobile phone for granted. Very few had phones in those days, especially ones which roamed internationally. There was no real way to look at the news unless the plane could receive live TV somehow (some could), many on the planes didn't even speak English, and there was no google translate in your pocket.

Made me realise what a change has happened in 20 years (and well I guess smartphones were ubiquitous by the 15th anniversary). Looking back over history the change in the way we live between say 1995 (when IT in many offices was still very new and often limited to very specific tasks) and 2015 is shocking, moreso than the gap from say 1975 to 1995

We're nearly halfway through the 2015-2035 period, I wonder how much AI will change things over the next decade.
AppleCare+ does not include theft coverage. For that you need to pay for "AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss", which I assume you didn't do: https://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone/

It's pretty easy to see why they wouldn't include theft + loss coverage unless you pay for it...
Encoding video in real time is expensive. You can run your blog on a 5€/month machine. You'll most likely need ten times that money for a single real time stream using nothing but software decoding, rendering and encoding. If you think, "hey I'm going to use a GPU for this" then congratulations, you've increased your cloud bill by a factor of 20.
Oof, I'm twitching just reading that because we're in exactly the same boat. The problem with the ROI is that any kind of not-self-run cloud is guaranteed to be more expensive in direct costs. This has been shown time and time again for any reasonably large enterprise. However, there is a long list of things that are hard to express in money that support a cloud move, mostly to do with keeping up with modern tech, hiring, DR, better resiliency, etc. and so the decision can be quite dependent on the particular execs in the chain of command and their subjective values.
You’ll have to setup the APs individually and you’ll be missing out on various features like quick roaming.
Delta Dental is one of the worst dental insurance companies out there. I hope it goes bankrupt. They have cut benefits so much that most dentists I know have dropped them completely and refuse to take them. It has caused a bunch of headaches for us and for most families I know.
I was more speaking to the audaciousness of it all. I expect many employers will still do their due diligence and with high profile cases like these it’ll be impossible to hide. So I guess the perpetrator ultimately has to own their actions and maybe including these indiscretions in their LinkedIn is inevitable.
My experience was completely the opposite. Learning HTML was effortless, and I had a great deal of fun writing pages by hand, easily creating whatever I could imagine through a straightforward hierarchy of nested tags. When CSS came along, it added a slippery, inconsistent layer of confusion where spooky action at a distance was the order of the day; nothing ever worked completely right, no matter how much time I spent grinding on it. I never could get comfortable with CSS and eventually gave up web development rather than continue fighting with it.
They're imagining that they won't just get made fun of for something else. It never ends; you either have to not care, conform, or sustain trauma.
Not a CSS guru but I'm pretty sure that's because display: block (the original document layout strategy?) grows vertically, so it doesn't really make sense to have an auto value for top/bottom. And I believe margin:auto only applies when there is a width constraint in the element.
YAML is just some data, like JSON or CSV. Ask yourself whether you'd use a third-party JSON templating or CSV templating tool, or whether you'd use your shop's language of choice and write a program to spit out the generated data.

You can also save yourself a step by just spitting out JSON, which is valid YAML.

There are plenty of issues with Azure, but LinkedIn is hardly at the vanguard of innovation. And that was still the case before Microsoft vastly overpaid for it.
Interesting. I am surprised this doesn't seem to be more widely known. We have an ancient gas wall heater in our living room and due to a cat with CKD, we need to keep the bedroom doors closed. We have some small electric heaters, but those are not safe to leave on in our toddlers bedroom and are expensive to operate. I have been looking into getting some window mounted heat pumps, but they are expensive, bulky, and don't really work with our windows.

We live by the coast, so we have a few small dehumidifiers for mold prevention but have not been using them much. I am going to test this out and see if it works. I don't particularly mind bundling up, but the toddler can't make it through the night with the blankets on. So if this does work, seems like it would be the perfect solution.
I think Tailwind is nice when you're applying to-the-element but as css continues to grow and include more relational selectors I think we'll start seeing a more definitive line drawn in the sand where we just use css/css modules for the more advanced/relational parts and Tailwind for the to-the-element bits.

As for why it's confusing, I think it's due to the inconsistencies of the language. https://wiki.csswg.org/ideas/mistakes

Also, you have to know the rules of the game to be proficient at css, and the rules will change from underneath you based on context, and unless you're in this space often it will often feel like voodoo and a constant search of "why isn't this working here when it works there... oh, because the parent is using position x". Also messing with css for over 15 years I know most of the rules of the game, and it has definitely gotten easier over time, but every now and then something will still surprise me.

The road (train of thought) is different from the pathfinding (emotional weight of thoughts), and an error in pathfinding does not indicate anything (error/traumatic/important/wrong) in a train of thought.

This anxiety does not have to reflex reality at all (consider my father and his dementia). The stimuli is inconsequential for a rational observer, but latched onto by the anxious. 'Fixing/dealing' the thought causing the anxiety does nothing to alleviate his anxiety - as there will always be something to be anxious about.

It's not that trains of thoughts are causing his anxiety: it is very clearly his anxiety searching the tracks until it can get on the most disturbing it can find...
The LLM is trained on human input and output and aligned to act like a human. So while there’s no individual human involved, you’re essentially trying to social engineer a composite of many humans…because if it would work on the humans it was trained on, it should work on the LLM.

Of course, you want an adversarial network that's difficult to trick, otherwise the training will produce suboptimal results.
This doesn’t demonstrate anything about the savings.

Anecdotally, when my previous company was looking at costs, cloud unequivocally came out significantly more expensive, and that wasn’t even a large company (only 2,000 or so employees).

Author of the story here! I've been a writer and journalist for nearly 30 years, and with the giant shift of advertising from traditional and then web publications to apps, social networks, and product sites (Amazon makes a fortune from ads), the number of places that publish long-form features has shrunk quite a bit. The ones that remain often have a tech billionaire or heir helping to fund them or they're the last survivors.

I can't speak for Retool, of course, but it was pitched to me by my fabulous editor there as the company wanting to show the great visual editing tools of the past and make sure they weren't forgotten. They had already run a wildly fascinating story about Visual Basic, something I never thought I would be interested in, and it was riveting. There was no marketing involvement in the story at all. There's an interesting line where producing compelling editorial work shines a nice light on what you're doing as a company? Stripe published Increment for years, both online and in a very lovely print edition, and I wrote (for the same editor) for years for them until that no longer served Stripe's particular purpose for it. But it was all essentially independent editorial with nothing to do with Stripe's core mission.

On the production side, I didn't see much of how it would look until it went live, and I think it tells an incredibly robust story—it's a great parallel to my reporting in a way that I've rarely seen in my whole career?!
Nothing ever comes close to P/Invoke in ease of use* (while remaining practically zero-overhead if you don't need to marshal strings). JNI is on the opposite side of the spectrum and should never be even compared as it is at least ten times worse developer experiences (and equally higher overhead).

*in garbage-collected languages, otherwise it's pretty much like calling C from Rust.

There are SaaS offerings for Node-RED or you can install it yourself but there isn't a one-click-Node-RED experience but https://deadred.flowhub.org provides that by being a serverless, static frontend-only version.
"Lift and shift" isn't just an Azure-specific phrase. Many people use it pejoratively, and point to it as an anti-pattern, and something to avoid.

Similar terminology is "forklift"... been hearing that one for well over a decade.

Migrations are oftentimes an opportunity to revisit scaling, configuration, build and deployment pipelines, platform primitives, etc. Every migration I've been involved in has a (probably necessary) tension between getting the job done efficiently, while not repeating all the mistakes of the past.

If your architecture is chatty enough, you will be sharding things so that most traffic stays in one rack, room, or data center.

If you treat us-west-1 as a single data center, you may find you are spending a lot on traffic between AZs.

A lift and shift might treat us-west-1 like a single data center. A more sophisticated strategy might treat it as three.
There's a video I downloaded back then which I never managed to find since then. Not on my drives or uploaded by anyone to YouTube.

It was from the inside an office building most likely across the Hudson, where you see around 3 people gathering at the window looking at the building in the background and talking, until the second plane hits and a bit afterwards.

I think I had it as a QuickTime video.

I also started to record what was going on in German TV during these hours on the news channels, I wonder if those VHS tapes are still ok.
Thank you for your time and patience with this! I am so glad that one of my favorite services ever now has its story told.
Eh, as someone who's used both I'd probably disagree with that. CSS is at least a hell of a lot easier to debug than assembly, depending on the device you're writing the code for.

But it's a weird comparison anyway. The difficulties in CSS aren't using it to begin with, they're about all the edge cases, browser compatibility issues (for the more modern stuff) and its limitations for handling layout setups other tools have handled for years. Meanwhile, assembly's challenges are often that you have too few tools, and a lot of the language patterns you're used to in modern day programming languages are nonexistent.

Like the type you write for the SNES lacks for/foreach style loops, so something that's a two line piece of code in Java/PHP/JavaScript/Python/whatever can be like 15 lines in assembly there.
I know that some tech journalists do it.
I never thought of that as an inconsistency, but rather of a feature. My thought is: Layout is left-to-right so why should something work top-to-bottom? Same as text-align: center will center horizontally, and (/s) vertically centering something is impossible.

But I agree with the basic sentiment. The small irregular things [1] make it really weird to get, but once you'll get it, it's crazy cool. However, that does not make a language great.

Chill out. Do you not see the arrogance in telling people that what they spend their quiet attention on is childish, stupid, and "excrement", but what you spend your quiet attention on -- your breathing, your heartbeat, the sound of your liver producing bile, whatever -- is enlightened? You don't sound very enlightened to me, you sound like someone who dips their toe into a cherry-picked version of Buddhism so you can feel better than other people.
I cannot look at a UI design and intuitively know what CSS attributes would generate that exact output.

I think part of it for me is that I do not have an intuitive understanding of the box model and how layouts are calculated. On top of that, since CSS cascades, you have to be able to mentally keep track of all the parent attributes to understand how they affect a specific element on the page.

I was working on a React Native project the other day and I could just not get flexbox layout to do what I wanted. I ended up just playing around with putting attributes on various components until I found what worked.

I have an ADHD brain that quickly discards information I don't use frequently, so since I don't use CSS often, I never remember it well enough to be good at it.
> This is just a way to avoid that.

Yeah, its pretty easy to see why this would be desirable for some parties. But multiple things can be true at once.

It is a way to help out businesses, but its not just that. Its also a thing that is going to shape our language, which will in turn shape our thought and discussions. I just think we should be cognizant of who has their hands on those levers.

If your goal is to batch convert a wide variety of lossily-compressed source material at a significantly lower bitrate without obvious loss of fidelity, MP3 is not great.

That appears to be the author's specific complaint against WEBP, and seems fair.
PE firms are notorious for paying peanuts and often a lot of comp. is not cash but stock based. Regardless, the cofounder cannot sell without your approval and if you indeed had equity, you can sue both the cofounder and the PE firm as they didnt do their due diligence correctly. PE firms usually wont want to assume that risk so I am surprised that they missed this.

TL;DR: Get a Lawyer. You cannot do anything else.

For a long time, simple things like vertically centering dynamic text were impossible to do except with JavaScript or weird hacks. Or how do you push a page footer to the bottom of the viewport on pages where the content is only a few lines? Or create a two-column layout where the left column has a different background color that always stretches to the bottom of the viewport?

There have always been a ton of common, simple things that CSS just didn't support, or required bizarre hacks for -- like reusing "floats" intended for inset images as the basis for layout. Over the years it's gotten better, but if you've been doing this for 15+ years, surely you remember the old horrors. I don't want to have to insert "clear: both;" at the start of every new section ever again...

Not to mention that back in the day, browsers weren't nearly as standards-compliant, so your designs would just show up wrong in some browsers, and you'd rip your hair out trying to write CSS that would work in all of them.

Not even enough for a Mars outpost, never mind colonization. The story about ferrying 100 people to Mars in a can is 100% lying; they might fit a dozen. And there is literally nothing on Mars worth refining and exporting home, not even the engines on the cans that got them there; so those would pile up.

The "Mars colonization" story is purely to pump up stock price, just like the "full self driving" that was supposed to enable you to farm out your car during the day for taxi service. Musk hyped that one hard.

> while supporting use cases you couldn't have even dreamed of.

I often wonder: given how much of the complexity of modern DBMSes exists because of constraints imposed by certain use-cases that only pertain in certain business domains... what efficiencies could we gain if we designed a domain-specific DBMS with the knowledge that use-cases outside of the domain are off-limits and can be ignored?

For example, I currently use general-purpose DBs to deal with datasets that are fundamentally append-only. But what if I had a DB that only supported working with append-only data? A DB that literally has no concept of an update or delete of existing rows — you've got insert, and maybe dropping a table/dataset entirely, and that's it. Could such a DB get away with not implementing MVCC transactions? Could such a DB avoid using a write-ahead log (because the tables are each their own write-ahead logs)? Would it store data more efficiently? Could its indexing be chunkwise-atomic rather than whole-table-atomic and so require less locking? Etc.
