TCO = Total Cost of Ownership. The cost will likely be in developmetn and maintanance, not service fees. Use whichever API is clean, simple, stable and you don't have to think about. This might be a solution for larger operations that

The whole f*ing point of banks is to hold your money. WTF is Silicon Valley if they can't make a bank that is just supposed to sit there and not do much - not collapse. I loathe to say this but maybe the CrytoBros need to come back? Ba

I don't think rich abstracions necessarily contribute to 'clean code' in fact often the opposite. Clean code means easy to read, maintain, not full of arbitrary things 'because performance'.

I also worked at a company that had antiquated data storage practices and ugly political silos around it to the point where it was kafkaesque to access basic operating data which was actually valuable. ... and were the goddam strategy team!

It's very hard to know what creates value without more senior leadership experience. Sometimes it's only '1 thing out of 10' but that '1 thing' is absolutley essential. But honestly, I suggest the entire '

As far as I know mutex is not a signal that data is received, which would require some kind of threading / interrupt. Moreover, it's a bit of a secondary thing. The API would look something like a call function with a receive func

Not only that they should differentiate between kinds of media. I suggest that TikTok may not be bad at all. My feed is cats and farm animals. But girls are higher on 'neuroticism' than boys, and I suggest that's a strong cor

This is extraordinary. Imagine the political fallout here given how powerful Meta is and the competing narratives. This is the kind of thing that should be front and centre in media discussion, but Meta has too much money. It's just no

It's obviously wrong and will eventually be challenged. It's ridiculous, all of the poeple here defending this. Literally a call an hour to the police station, among the small number of people who saw the site just in the first fe

No, a Jury didn't find him guilty of a felony and specific charges. They did not 'disagree' with me that such an account is innapropriate. Go ahead and find out yourself: make a 'parody' account of your local police

I don't think the logic here works. This is not about 'the specific proportion of disruption' - it's about impersonating police and emergency services . The 'disruption' is not just measured in 'how many

While it's a bit odd that 'minorities' would not be able to apply - but not even remotely within the realm of 'obvious parody'. Private and public services make all sorts of claims with respect to hiring. And BTW -

I honestly have no idea why someone would think that Sockets, which are designed for IP networking are an ideal solution for IPC, or why someone would think that 'shared memory' is sufficient for sharing information when it's

This conversation is off the rails. There's a 100% chance that some (many, actually) members of the community would have believed this account to be 'real' ergo, he's impersonating an entire police force. Ergo, reasonabl

"In March 2016, Novak set up a Facebook page that purported to be that of the Parma Police Department." Honestly why does anyone think this is not wrong? Here is a link to some of his posts [1] The guy was straight up impersonatin

by jasmer 4y ago
I really disagree with the sockets bit. Sockets are designed for networking, with a particular focus on IP. Not IPC. I for one think that the 'absurd thing' is that IPC is not built into OS as a core feature. That, and process iso

Gaslighting is just a term for a social interaction that didn't exist in our vocabulary before. That's it. Which is different than terms like 'woke' for which we have different connotations and contexts.

First, Western economies are cyclical, this is a low-point, so we have to kind of average over time, and we have to account for 'surpluses'. 'Walmart' standard of living is basically magnificent for anyone living in 1980

Yes, but that generally shouldn't mean reduced sales in nominal amounts but rather inflation adjusted amounts. Notably, the 'low end' retail outlets tend to boon in rough times. TJMaxx is doing just fine. What Walmart is sign

Americans are not cynical people, but they are cynical about their government. Remeber 'Rambo'? The simple Vietnam Vet who comes home and is harrassed by the Police for no reason? Or the 'Most American Film Ever' aka the

I see what you mean, but it's not really a better analogy. We need to learn how to do addition at some point, so we can't have ChatGPT do that. We need to learn how 'registers' work, so we can't have ChatGPT do that

It's amazing that in an industry with so much money they don't have accepted norms of professionalism baked in. Even for startups. It's almost like VC land should have the rule, 'once the cheque is >$1M, you do this r

The other reason is continued civic moral debasement. We used to live in communities, whereing social mores were at least nominally respected or accepted. Even if they were broken, at minimum 'wrong was wrong' and in particular, r

I think it will just be market forces. As long as there is price transparency, people will vote with their feet. Now - the 'sleight of hand' thing where you buy one thing and the later they change their structure, that's a hu

I worked for the EU gov. and I believe that Europeans are more naive about the foundations of EU than Americans are about the US. And far more sensitive about it. All Americans are cynical about their own country and government. The EU is a

And Volskwagen cheating on it's emissions? This is bit of a glib view of Boeing. Boeng and Airbus will trade spaces for a while, until China starts stelling it's gear at 1/2 the price and then we will see some material change

We should assume anyone visiting a site without some kind of credentialed login is a 'bot'. Or for all intents and purposes 'noise' traffic. It'd be nice for the powers that be develop an anonymous cookie standard t
