We don't know that it was deferred to Kay. You just assumed that it was.

I apologize. How foolish of me to assume you would notice that I assiduously avoided doing anything other than to refer to you by "you" and to refer to the blog article's author as "the author." Let me rephrase.

As a critic of OOP, my definition of OOP includes inheritance, polymorphism, and classes. An example of a programming language that fits this definition is Java. While my criticisms don't depend on those properties, nevertheless that is the definition that I personally use. Now, based on your comments, I believe your argument is:

as a critic of OOP you are not using the defintion of OOP that I use

That's what I believe your argument is, but I'm interested in your beliefs about your own argument. What do you believe your argument is?
I'll believe it when it happens. Unsurprisingly, China stands to gain little from damaging their largest trading partner and one of their biggest sources of income.

I mean, I would first point out Linux and FOSS aren't a "friendlier" solution.

Daring to ask about a problem will inevitably devolve into "You're committing heresy." and getting taken for a ride about changing my entire process and environment when that was never my inquiry nor even desirable.

As for socially conscious: Paying for good, practical software that serves my needs is a good thing. Both for myself and the developers, a win-win.

FOSS has a social contract problem. There are many open source developers who need/want money for their labor who get shut down and even coerced into free-as-in-beer for daring to ask for compensation, and many more project derelicts strewing the land abandoned due to lack of resources.

It needs to be powered by generative AI because its purpose is to be powered be generative AI.

Look at the way it's phrased: not "to improve the user experience" but "to bring generative AI to Google Maps".

This is Google top brass telling everyone explicitly that their products need to incorporate generative AI, and product leads brainstorming ways to do that.

The is not trying to solve a problem that users have, but a problem that Google has.

(FWIW I say this as someone who's optimistic that there is really something there behind the AI hype. But this ain't it).

Please email careers@triolabs.com with your resume, any links to your portfolio / code, and a short cover letter explaining your relevant experience.
There are good reasons not to dogfood critical services like that; it can make recovering from unexpected issues much harder if you introduce mutual dependencies.

For example, if Slack devops team were to exclusively communicate over Slack, then a Slack outage would be much harder to resolve because the team trying to fix it would be unable to communicate.

If you take some of the public slack channels, campfire fits the better.

Look at Elixir's slack for example. Since it's a free tier, you can't view older messages that can be beneficial to someone. And Elixir's slack channel is not going to need fancy workflows, web hooks for CI, gitops capabilities et all.

a mechanical mechanism which isn’t and wasn’t particularly universal and where the use of paper is incidental and often limiting. the point is that just making computation faster (what gp was talking about) is not why computers are everywhere.
well, and the whole creepy "upload your house" nonsense.
It's a combination of things. The idea is that you can build workflows that chain functionality from ai models, as well as lower level image processing tasks. For lower level tasks we use the usual suspects - PIL, ImageMagik, OpenCV etc.
It would be kinda fun to watch.
Yeah. I've dealt with definitely-not-nation-states before, and their pattern was to sign up for free/cheap CI services (CircleCI, Github Actions, that sort of thing) and launch their attacks from there. The VPS thing also sounds very very plausible to me, I figured there was a long tail, but until I was looking up every network that was attacking us, I really had no idea how deep the long tail goes. I now feel like half the world's side hustle is to rent a server that they never update and host a couple of small business websites there.

• Operating income increased to $13.2 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $2.7 billion in fourth quarter 2022.
• Net income increased to $10.6 billion in the fourth quarter, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with $0.3 billion, or

$0.03 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2022.
Code doesn't lie, but it isn't always obvious either. A diff that fixes a subtle corner case is very difficult to understand without explanation. A function to fix dirty external data cannot be understood without reference to what the author is fixing. It may not be clear why a certain performance trade-off is preferable. A mistake may be hard to detect if you don't know what was intended.
I think they did have to do that far though.

Getting in at the "ground floor" of a new datacentre build is pretty much the ultimate exploit. Imagine getting in at the centre of a new Meet-Me room (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet-me_room) and having persistent access to key switches there.

Cloudflare datacentres tend to be at the hub of insane amounts of data traffic. The fact that the attacker knew how valuable a "pre-production" data centre is means that cloudflare probably realized themselves that it would be a 100% game over if someone managed to get a foot hold there before the regular security systems are set up. It would be a company ending event if someone managed to install themselves inside a data centre while it was being built/brought up.

Also remember, at the beginning of data centre builds, all switches/equipment have default / blank root passwords (admin/admin), and all switch/equipment firmware are old and full of exploits (you either go into each one and update the firmware one by one or hook them up to automation for fleet wide patching) Imagine that this exploit is taking place before automation services had a chance to patch all the firmware ... that's a "return all devices to make sure the manufacturer ships us something new" event.
A blanket cutoff is ill advised in my opinion. I think it has to depend on the intent behind the phone call. For instance, I got a robocall from the water department monday saying there is a boil advisory in effect due to high water and sediment runoff due to weather. Having enough people for the once in 10 years where ythey needed that many doesn't seem necessary. And once you get into intent sadly, all bets are off.
This is exactly how Microsoft Azure DevOps works when you enable the squash-on-merge behavior (which is how we used it while working at Microsoft). I thought this was completely logical and I'm surprised that GitHub can't be configured the same way.

All of our commit messages were nice, long and detailed, with a link back to the PR if you really wanted to go back and see the individual commits and/or discussion that occurred on that PR. I think I only looked at individual commits maybe once or twice since they were usually useless in isolation (woops, WIP, fix typo, etc.).
To be fair, we don't know if Starfleet ever figured out how the Klingons bypassed the shield. Nor do we know if they ever discovered someone installed a rootkit on Geordie's visor.

Also, given Starfleet's continued examples of not learning their lessons from previous encounters, I suspect all ships still display the shield frequency in big, bold font. Possibly even visible from the viewscreen of the bridge on one of the rear consoles.

Since 2019 I have been maintaining a management platform for generic Linux devices, with a focus on zero-touch maintenance with daily updates. This has been used to maintain a fleet of thousands of devices from servers to Raspberry Pis.

I've spent the past 3 years building a self-service Kubernetes platform for multiple companies and hundreds of clusters, with unified deployments across Cloud and Edge, process and business.

My current focus is taking developers pains across teams and finding ways to bake painkillers into our platform to help them ship faster and have to care about less.

I'm an experienced Data scientist, who's worked on a bunch of interesting projects. With Covid I've come to realize I need to work in public more often. So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving that I can talk about publicly.

What sort of problems do I like?

A Taxi company in latam hired me to built a fleet maintenance system. It predicted and scheduled preventative maintenance to reduce wear and tear and avoid breakdowns. We also identified the leading cause of wear - leadfoot drivers. So we built a system that would identify aggressive driving.
Another example was a speculative sports highlights annotation system I built with a consultancy. It ingested sports video and identified predetermined highlights in baseball - diving catches in our case. The ML pipeline was a CNN model which fed into an RNN. Given a bunch of video clips of diving catches as training data, it could later identify those diving catches and automatically annotate the video feeds.

Who shouldn't contact me.

The Dark Side of Stripe: A Startup Horror Story
Years of smooth sailing with Stripe ended abruptly this summer. We opened a new sub account for our new digital goods startup (AI generated images) and it was a success with hundreds of orders. Then, Stripe froze our account and held onto $20,000 of our funds, promising to return it in 120 days. Now at 180 days, there's still no sign of our money.

Legal action hasn't nudged them. Despite providing complete proof of delivery for all charges, Stripe remains uncooperative. It's not just us - a quick look at Trustpilot, Reddit, and BBB shows a worrying trend of startups getting cut off by Stripe in the last months.

My advice? Move to a reliable merchant account and stay vigilant if you're using Stripe. What was once a partnership has turned into a cautionary tale of broken trust and unfulfilled promises. Any help or advice on this matter is deeply appreciated.

> If you’re employed by a German entity and your salary is 91.1k€, your take-home income would be around 53.8k€.
> Put another way - the $100k / 91.1k€ are the Arbeitgeberbrutto, they correspond to 75.5k€ Arbeitnehmerbrutto

I fully disagree. I'm talking about the Arbeitgeberbrutto as it does not make any difference for the employer if he sends the money to you or to the state/health insurance/.... He is already paying it so he would be willing to also pay it to you if he would not have to pay it to the state/health insurance/... So in my opinion it is part of the salary and I think the split into employer deductions and employee deductions just exists to make the contributions appear to be smaller than they actually are.

The post I linked just made it clear to me that salaries aren't that bad in germany compared to other states it is just that we have to pay most of it to the state/health insurance/...

The same use as optical wireless like LiFi. Higher speed over short distances.

Optical has the advantage to bouncing off walls, but EHF may have bandwidth advantages.

This wouldn't be useful for microwave links since it is absorbed by the atmosphere and has short range.

275 GHz is one the edge of EHF. Terahertz is 300 GHz to 3 THz. Above that is infrared.

Perhaps, but it is key to keep in mind the direction of the push and the trend here — this is strongly anti-democratic and pro-authoritarain.

To gauge democracy, examine how power is distributed among the institutions, both within and outside of govt.

In democracies, there is substantial or complete independence between the branches of govt — legislative, judicial, and executive, and portions of the executive, and various societal organizations — industry, academy, religions, social groups, sport, etc.

Under authoritarianism, all of the branches of govt and the societal organizations are bent to the serve the ruling group.

This is obviously an attempt by Musk, et. al. on these govt agencies to either eliminate them, or ensure that their will is subject to the whims of these would-be oligarchs. In short, it's a power grab, attempting to take a step towards turning workers back into serfs.
