Look like youâ(TM)re incompetent and go after harmless content, so you have plausible deniability for when you take down speech that is incongruent with political ideology.
Iâ(TM)ve never even considered fixing headphones unless itâ(TM)s just the foam, and replacement pads arenâ(TM)t easy to find for most models.
Even if the battery never wore out, people would still complain these arenâ(TM)t serviceable.
Mathematics too. As a software engineer, shit is relevant. Pretty much every aspect where public education fails are the most important aspects relevant to software. I fear the dumbing down of tech rather than the emphasis that the next generation step up. Learning to "code" is monkey work. Far more valuable are problem solving skills.
Once upon a time, an employer of mine attempted to license a few $100,000 worth of their software. It wasn't a high enough amount for Oracle to speak with us, so we ported off of it. They and their partner networks wouldn't even return our calls to accept our money in hand.
Serialization isn't inherently bad. It's bad practices and misuse, which won't change.
It'll just be replaced by many developers with XML, JSON, Protobuf, YAML, or other. Then, someone will inevitably sprinkle on some reflection or code generation, and you've almost done a 360... but with a lot more code and even more that could go wrong.
I don't agree that adding more training wheels and/or removing features is always the best way to fix bad developer habits.
It's the forcing of night owls into early morning schedules that's killing them. The assholes that say night owls are just being lazy for not aligning to morning hours.
I have a suspicion that night owls tend to be more creative and disruptive. In response, there's a sociatal effort to stunt their growth and effect: Sleep deprivation.
They start early in public schooling. Reprimand students for their biologically induced tardiness. The sleep deprivation affects studies, lowering grades, and again they're punished. By the time they exit schooling, they believe they're a lazy incompetent failure. Now, they accept that job at Subway making sandwiches without a fuss.
I have to give Microsoft credit. They've ported Windows to lots of hardware.
Over the years they've supported x86, x64, Itanium, DEC Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, ARM, and now ARM64. If you include Windows CE, even devices powered by Hitachi chips like the SH2. Their efforts have never really caught on, but they do keep trying.
I'd pay good money for Windows Mobile running on an iPhone, just to piss people off.
IIRC, Visa has an entire department devoted to what kind of porn you can buy with a credit card. For instance: There are literally paragraphs of credit card regulations solely about pee.
A woman can pee on another woman, and a woman or man can pee on a man or themselves, but a man can never pee on a woman. This includes a man peeing on the ground and a woman rolling around in it, using jars & other containers for transporting the pee, etc, etc. It's all written in legalese and closes just about every loophole that might result in a drop of man pee landing on a woman's skin from being payed for with a Visa. All other forms are 100% okay!
An action like this is enough to prevent me from ever considering building another project atop CUDA. It's not that I plan on rolling out consumer grade hardware into the datacenter. It's the principal that they can suddenly and arbitrarily lock customers into terms they didn't agree to when they set out and committed to a platform. Fuck Nvidia. Seriously. Fuck them.
I'm not the biggest Intel fanboy, but this isn't a problem limited to only Intel. It affects IBM's Power architecture, ARM, older AMD chips, and probably SPARC too.
The most vocal people upset by this aren't the ones deeply concerned about the security implications, but are the ones pissed off that their frame rates in the latest MMORPG might suffer with a patch.
I propose letting those people run without a fix, so they can bitch later when their unpatched machines leak their entire identity & finances to some Nigerian website.
So, by this logic, we shouldn't support needle exchanges? Heroin addicts *earn* blood borne diseases like hepatitis, right? Shame on them! They must deal with the consequences of permanent disease if they can't stop their sinful ways soon enough. Giving them extra time and a chance to have a healthy life in recovery... well, that's not what Jesus would do. He'd never promote forgiveness and compassion or anything like that. Oh, and naltrexone... overdoses should always be fatal. Don't support making that available either!!
I hope that if someone close to you develops substance related liver disease, that you will stand your ground, look them in the eye, and tell them that they earned it. Even if it's your own child, and especially if they've now entered recovery. That you'll tell them that the disease they now have is all part of God's plan for them. That supporting a safer alcohol, would have been bad for them. How dare they have a chance at a healthy life when, you yourself, didn't use to excess.
I remember my first & last mobile phone made by Sony Ericsson. It was so terrible, that Sony fired the entire team. The much needed firmware updates to a phone that never worked were nonexistent. My first iPhone? Apple supported it for *years* with software & feature updates. This was unheard of. If you keep upgrading the hardware, why will customers ever buy a new phone? They still kick ass and push updates months ahead of Android handsets. Are you even on Nougat yet? I've also never had a macOS update brick my install. Windows? That was par for the course. That alone is reason enough to avoid Windows, rather than embrace the Macintosh. But also, for a long time, Mac updates made things faster. Every Windows service pack impacted performance and made my machines perform terribly. Two decades of dealing with that shit first hand, you don't want to acknowledge that Microsoft has improved. They've been fucking me over for years. I almost was fired, because of a Windows server crashing. Not my fault, Windows just couldn't not crash. My boss accused me of being incompetent until we hired a "certified professional" that couldn't keep it up. Linux lacks the software applications I need. Going back to Windows feels like welcoming an abusive step father back into your life. I developed on Windows for years. I put up with it. I even bought Vista. It was the only time I've thrown my keyboard in rage. For years I dealt with their compilers, that perverted the C & C++ standards. Not in a way that made things better, but to just be a dick and make your code depend on the bullshit. The practices of taking something standard like LDAP & Kerberos, and changing them just enough to "Microsoftize" them. Slowing down HTTP for browsers not running Internet Explorer. etc. etc. Apple is very compelling when faced with a history of bad memories and late nights. Fuck Microsoft.
Over the years, I've had failures in my CD/DVD archive, hard disks, and solid state storage (USB, CF, MMC, SD). Consumer grade hardware isn't designed for longevity. The only rock solid archival medium that's never failed me is obscure and dead.
That said, ISO filesystems on CD-ROM will likely be readable for a decade or two longer... as long as your media doesn't rot. FAT is the next most ubiquitous.
If a bunch of teenagers can crush an economy, then the foundation of that economy is faulty. You don't build critical infrastructure around it, ignoring and leaving your vulnerabilities exposed. This new generation of technologists have thrown best practices out the window. Nobody looks at single points of failure anymore. Increase the punishment for pressing the big-red button?
You can work on your own schedule and for anyone else you want. If that's the convenience you feel entitled to, you're a contractor. You don't get the protection of health benefits or a non-fluctuating wage. If you hate what Uber is doing, you stop doing jobs for them at the rate they'll pay you. It's that simple. You don't get the benefits of working like a contractor, with the expectations of being an employee.... for driving. Jesus.
When people begin to demand higher pay and more benefits for low skilled jobs, they get replaced with robots. It's happened in manufacturing, fast food, banking, etc. It'll happen to drivers too. Very very soon. And good riddance. You have to work 70hrs sitting on your ass driving, yet can pay all of your bills, and still complain about unfair your life is? Fuck you. I can't wait to tell my future robot driver how ungrateful you were. You don't like the pay, get a real fucking job. I'd rather be driven by restless retirees anyway. They're far more interesting and are thrilled at the idea that they can make extra income by driving. No self entitlement.
I spent months trying to give them millions in license fees. Our millions weren't enough to deal with corporate, so we were directed to third parties. After months of being shit on, we transitioned our entire backend architecture. They could have had their name on some major big-ass product launch, but no. We weren't giving them at least $250m per year.
Dealing with Oracle is a bullshit experience. If any Oracle customer could move onto Excel or even text files, they would in an instant. The levels of shit one can endure have no limit when it comes to them. The company is shit. Their customer service is shit, unless you have enough money. It's sad, actually. Oracle, the database, is pretty f'ing awesome. The company... worse than a pyramid scheme run by Hitler.
Yes. To expand upon this phenomenon (drinking):
There was this brilliant engineer that I'll just call S. S was amazing. He built mind astonishing things in hours that would take a mere mortal days... and he loved coffee.
Every 10-15 seconds, he'd pick up his cup, slurp like loudness was an award, then smash it down. All day long he did this. 3-4 times per minute! How could I complain? This guy could synthesize in hardware at the same speed I could write in software. Brilliant, but very distracting.
This was before Soundcloud, Pandora, and Spotify. If it weren't for my iPod, I would have become enraged.
These are by far my worst favorite. I keep hearing the voice of my mother yelling "chew with your mouth closed!" It's never a problem at lunch or wherever expected. At my desk? Why do I need to HEAR people eat?
I've had several colleagues over the years carbureting their food with open mouths, with chunks falling out onto the floor. I recently had to sit next to one guy that would make sucking sounds as he'd suck his fingers clean several times during his snacks, which were constant. Vegetarians & vegans need to eat quite regularly.
The clanking of spoons on porcelain bowls. The resonance of hollow skulls munching on granola. The mushy sounds. My tolerance is about five minutes. Annoyance sets in at ten. Aggravation at fifteen. Psychosis at thirty. The last job... I took a lot of walks.
This one guy would load up a bowl of snacks and proceed to noisily eat them for two hours slowly, savoring every bite and letting us all know. Without headphones, I would be in jail from my murderous rampage. I'm trying to grasp fifteen concepts in a head that can, at best, hold seven at once. The repetitious unnecessary noise of gluttony is a distraction.
The idea that you can even teach coding in classrooms where students continue to fail basic literacy, let alone mathematics, is absurd. Fix the core curriculum first before adding more certain failure.
So shouldn't we solve the lacking efficacy in mathematics & science education before attempting to teach a new subject built upon the failed lessons necessary?
I do agree that a language-to-language rewrite would yield impressive gains... but that's not the whole of it. Cassandra is an edge case... and yes, the Lucene code could use some love (contribute some patches??)
C++ isn't necessarily the best choice for everything, just like a Mclaren F1 isn't the optimum choice to pick up groceries. But if your requirements dictate that performance is a chief priority, it most certainly is.
I've written many Java and C++ systems at scale. Java simply does not excel at maximizing the use of system resources, predictable real-time performance nor high uptime. Stomp your feet all you want and pretend it's not true if you like. Java trades off performance to provide features to developers that they cannot override. Fact.
Java is fine for 99% of most everything ever written. Honest. Cookbook blog: great! That 1% though where every bit matters, that's when you take off the training wheels and code as low as you can tolerate or afford.
What Java zealots in the Cassandra and Hadoop communities kept boasting was the idea that vertical performance doesn't matter anymore. Solve all of the problems with JVM unreliability and poor performance under the umbrella of big data and more hardware. This makes sense at a few dozen servers. It's insane when you start considering scale at 100s or 1000s.
I hope DataStax considers making Cassandra more cost effective. The simplest way is to get rid of the JVM and give me a machine code binary. I'd really like to throw 128GB of RAM to my nodes, but Java won't let me.
Why can't we do the voting online with iPads or our phones, share all of the raw data with third party auditors, aggregate it, and track all votes in real-time?
It may sound "funny," but I once priced Mega (KimDotCom) for offsite backup & storage. They turned out to be less expensive than Amazon Glacier by a bit AND instantly available. We didn't go with them. Instead, we replicated across data centers with multi-terabyte storage nodes.
I think it's awfully pretentious that some "developers" feel ENTITLED to the time of open source volunteers, when they don't make every effort possible to answer their own question. This is time people spend away from family.
I think what you're seeing is the eventual result of being bombarded by people that refuse to search Google first. People that won't crack a book that think all information should be spoon fed by anyone by request.
I myself have stopped releasing any more projects due to the arrogant and unappreciative behavior of my users. I don't need to spend the last hour of my day holding a lazy developer's hand.
