Sorry mate, $241,946,798,744.75 for Glacier here.

Mine is showing $241,946,798,744.75. I know it will be reverted, but for a brief minute there I suspected someone compromised my account and triggered rust rewrite of everything using thousands of agents via Bedrock :)

Phew.

What are the chances of this just being some cross contamination from rover itself? I vaguely remember something similar almost a decade ago and ultimately was inconclusive.

Depends on what you’re after * Australia * United States * Singapore * Dubai * Europe (Belgium/Switzerland/Netherlands)

Yes, field of diagnosis and experimental medication/treatment requires no new logic.

A programmer is simply a database of past projects, information they’ve read, and programming knowledge.

They take in requirements, perform coding, analyse output, repeat.

Docker and Kubernetes comes to mind.

As a complete novice in life in everything that is not Tech, I rely on a lot of how-to videos on YouTube from small unknown creators. Likes and Dislikes ratio is one of the key filter to weed out less helpful or outright misinformed videos. This may be shrewd move for YouTube to boost engagement but at the greater cost of utility and UX. Very disappointing.

Right, you must have room with a door to WFH otherwise back to the open plan office.

No, I hardly ever tip my delivery drivers. Tip is not expected for normal service here, unlike USA. If someone goes above and beyond, you can tip but there is no obligation. We have minimum wage system and most in my area are paid above that.

Most popular gadgets with screens, smartphones, doesn’t have credits, not the most popular apps on App Store apart from couple of words “From Facebook”, “By Google” etc. It’s not considered “incredibly disrespectful” to not read credits in apps or acknowledgments in books that have it listed. It’s a personal preference to read or skip them. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

I get the sentiment for live performance, but in your own home, I can not relate to this. Vast majority of people in credits are doing a job and getting paid for it, just like any other profession or trade.

We don't pay "respect" to delivery drivers, or to designers and engineers who brings us our gadgets and services in same way. Why should I spend my time and attention on credit rolls? It's not like anyone noticing it.

This can be said of all interviews, not just tech. It’s hard for great many people to put themselves out there. I mean interview itself is a performance, isn’t it?

Having said that communication and interpersonal skills are big part of most jobs even in tech. We hardly develop software in isolation these days.

I don’t know about other industries, but in Tech there are some really inexperienced interviewers out there, who’re impulsive and lacks discipline in conducting objective and meaningful assessment.

If I recall correctly you either have to mail in your passport with application form and photos or you can go to post office where they can verify ID for your fist provisional license.

One of the step to get full license is to take theory test in person at test centre. They check your address and verify ID again at this stage.

We have small driving test centres in most areas. You prebook the slot and turn up. They’re fairly punctual.

Here in UK we have a few lavender farmers who does exactly that.

For me 13” Retina MBP circa 2013 was the pinnacle of form factor, price, & performance. Unfortunately they went out of support and employer forced us to upgrade with 15” Touch MBP. I don’t have any complaints about keyboard, guess I’m just lucky in that regards.

But new MacOS and hardware are frighteningly unstable. I have observed roughly 1 in 5 times that it’ll crash outright with blank screen when attached to external display. Resetting PRAM, & SMC work for a couple of days and then back to same behaviour. Apple Store had a quick look but stupid thing didn’t crash so they blamed it on faulty cables at work and home. How can a cable can cause it to crash even after disconnected?

Unless they up their game I’ll never spend my own money on another Mac.

I wonder how would one douse investors concern of having Open Source product like ArangoDB, and AWS effectively eating their lunch if/when wide adoption comes?

Congratulations on the funding btw! I'm a happy and grateful user.

I also feel managed service is quite critical offering they're missing right now. Considering recent AWS and Elastic debacle, market is going to be tough for Open Source products like ArangoDB.

People underestimate Microsoft’s clout. Microsoft has massive enterprise distribution network[0] and “Microsoft Certified Partners”. Basically there are technical consultants who goes around recommending MS offerings to their clients while collecting commissions from MS. It worked for Office, Exchange, SQL Server, Sharepoint, and now it’s working for Azure as well.

Google Cloud is new vendor & it’s very unlikely that they’ll surpass MS anytime soon.

Microsoft collected $9.5 billion in Azure cloud revenue in 2018, vs. $1.6 billion for the comparable Google business, according to investment bank KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. Next year, KeyBanc forecasts, it’ll be $15.1 billion for Microsoft, $3.2 billion for Google. Of course, in a market expected to top $40 billion next year, third place in the U.S. isn’t so bad. Still, “Google is way back,” says Brent Bracelin, an analyst at KeyBanc who co-authored the report. “They don’t have enterprise sales distribution,” he says. “That’s their big Achilles’ heel. Microsoft has a massive footprint there.”

And she did deliver, a lot[0].

After Diane took over the reins, Google Cloud managed to get solid enterprise wins. 20th Century Fox, Colgate, Disney, eBay, HSBC, LATAM Airlines, LG CNS, The Home Depot, The New York Times, Schlumberger, Target and Verizon are some of the key enterprises using Google Cloud.

The most notable win for Google Cloud came from Twitter which has moved large-scale Hadoop clusters to GCP, with a total of about 300 PB of data migrated.

Netflix, a loyal AWS customer, is using Google Cloud Platform for disaster recovery and business continuity.

Google Cloud made impressive progress in establishing itself as an enterprise cloud platform.

That’s a little harsh. I mean hindsight is always 20-20. Under her leadership Google Cloud did acquire big name customers. Google’s struggle to gain foothold in enterprises and reasons are well discussed on various HN threads over years. It’s a lot to expect from one executive to turn it around in face of fierce competition.

Not to my taste. I guess you must use some App to read the feed? I just launched home page on the phone and it’s far from ideal. Take a look at this screenshot. https://ibb.co/hwFJXA

Would love to know what’s your setup on the go.

Even after 5+ years, I still miss Google Reader almost everyday. Just pure simplicity and tight community around sharing is yet to be matched IMO. Web has moved on and as someone commented here, it’s walled garden everywhere now.

Thank you Google of yore for creating and running a great service for as long as you did!

Well I suppose that’s personal taste. Book and the series is categorised as hard fiction on the basis of gravitational physics problem woven into the plot and taken much further into next two books. Your definition may not align with it but it’s very odd to compare two different work based on personal taste rather than merit.

Not sure if it fits your recent definition but Three Body Problem series is highly recommended for "hard" sci-fi fans.

Hmmm re-reading my comment, it does seem to put blame on the page. However, I wouldn't expect relic of the past to be changed or maintained (cost obviously). It just came as a surprise that big wall of text couldn't be parsed by modern apps.

I expected modern parsers to be more clever. This article is a table like many webpages were in the first decade. Wondering how we can improve readability of such pages? May be the size of raw text ratio or something clever that considers how the page is rendered and extract key information.

Edit: Instapaper parsed it very well in the end!

This page is surprisingly belligerent to modern reader apps even if you navigate past Frame issues. Pocket, Instapaper, Safari, Firefox reader view, none of them can parse this correctly.

If you look past it all and actually read it, you'll find this gem of a passage.

Beware! All too often, we say what we hear others say. We see what we are permitted to see. Much worse, we see what we're told that we see. Repetition and pride are the keys to this. To hear or to see even an obvious lie again and again and again, is to say it, almost by reflex, and then to defend it because we have said it, and to embrace what we've defended. Thus without thought or intent, we make mere echoes of ourselves and we say what we hear others say.

They probably meant TV shows with commercial break. Not sure about ABC but Netflix you can watch uninterrupted without ads.

I’m in a same boat. I already paid for Pocket premium. There is no compelling reason to go back. I did prefer Instapaper app UX though. Probably coz of years of use, but I’ve made my peace with Pocket app.

GDPR blackout was a big misstep.

Probably same IP Address.

Very likely they’re. Username seems to be in reference to Marco’s Overcast app.
