But I'm sure there are plenty of fast encoders? Wuffs isn't the path to a fast encoder. It's a path to something safe that is also pretty fast.

If you're encoding PNGs from NumPY arrays you don't care at all about safety.

If, for some reason I can't quite comprehend, whatever encoder you have on hand isn't fast enough, you can just disable compression optimizations -- but at that point you may as well be writing out a bitmap.
> Amazon just needs to keep track of usage, and start rate limiting/returning 402s/blocking writes when the monthly limit is hit.

You're accruing costs even if you stop reading and writing. You're paying for the on-going storage, running of instances, etc.

What you're describing does not implement what you're describing it as.

E.g.,

It's the first day of the billing cycle, so our bill is effectively $0. So no limits in place on writing/rates/etc. We upload 100TB of data. No rate limiting or blocking because our current bill is under the $800 limit.

By about the 8th of the month, we've now hit the $800 limit you set. If you don't go hit the "let me exceed my billing limit" then you want Amazon to "stop the service".

You want:

1. Under no circumstances to spend more than $800/mo.
2. Your data to be retained.

This is not possible. There are two paths forward here:

* Amazon retains your data: You need to continue paying for storage. Your bill at the end of the month will be ~$2200. Fails #1.
* Amazon "stops the service" (storing your data) and under no circumstances exceeds $800/mo in charges: They delete your data. Fails #2.

You're asking for Amazon to provide you services and just not bill you for them if you don't want to pay for them. This isn't going to happen.

Alternatively, if you want them to not accept a write if it _would_ have led to you being over your budget, see my original comment about predicting the future.

>filtering out a portion of the highest quality candidates

if you're not able to easily spot such a candidate without attempting to make him/her to jump through the gimmicks (brainteasers, contract-to-hire, etc..) - well, it indicates the issue with your company and hiring practices in particular are deeper than just what gimmicks to apply.
I remember this store. It was a site that charged sales tax several years ago. I'm not so sure that was wise given that they were competing with Amazon.

Otherwise they had a great site with a great UI.
It kind of makes me wish NILFS2 would become production-ready faster. Give MySQL its own partition, and just roll back to a previous checkpoint if you wipe everything. Not a substitute for backups, but a pretty speedy way to recover for a minor snafu like this.
If youre looking to learn mathematics as a tool rather than an end goal the list above seems far too abstract. A good foundation in analysis is probably as abstract as you'll need for a majority of applied fields. For computational science and learning you need to know (albeit very well):

linear algebra (strang, trefethen, golub and van loan)
optimization (nocedal, bertsekas)
probability (rice, casella & berger, grimmett)
statistical learning (tibshirani, bishop)

A good free online book was recently an HN topic: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1738670
However in this case, it happened on their continuous integration server -- which probably does more than just "rake test". On our hudson scripts, it does something like "rake db:reset" because some concurrent scripts require data to be persisted in the database and not rolled-back per test.

So when it's running something like "rake db:reset", which simply recreates all tables & seeds the database, it just looks at your environment and assumes you know what you're doing. Hudson (and other continuous integration systems) are pretty automated so unless it prompted you, it would run the db scripts quietly.
I have. I also know that the "Roadmap" budget has been intentionally buried by the Republican leadership because they don't want the people to know what kind of sacrifices they'll have to make if they want to reduce the deficit without raising taxes.
I think he got downvoted for calling the GitHub team "rookies". Sure, they may not have tons of experience running 5-nines systems, but they've clearly built a great product that a lot of people love and respect.

It depends on your skill level and time you have. I personally prefer a VPS for the sake of control + the fact that you could possibly host multiple apps on it for the same price. I also use Heroku but generally only for testing/dev. I love the fact that I can deploy an app in 5 mins.
They may or may not. The point is that they have an incentive to accept them back under some circumstances.

If they do get one of these back in, perhaps the best thing for them to do is to interview the holder heavily about where he got it and then decide whether to honour it or not.

More government doing shitty things not in its charter. I'm numb to this abuse. Next up: increased taxes + inflation.

I hope I live to see the day that the laws are twisted and shredded such that all corporate-government data about every person is available for purchase. I'd love to have that detailed record of everything I've said, thought, places I've been, etc since ~Y2K. How cool would that be?

Another alternative to curtains are blinds which also help to block your reflection at night. However they’re not good at absorbing sound so you are probably right to stick with curtains.
My worry is that we will continue to see the pace of international money transfers increase as competition, trust and infrastructure improves.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is limited structurally by the very mechanism that guarantees its accuracy. Today miners burn 77Kwh of energy to mine the block that records your transaction[1]. Sure hashing tech might get more efficient, but the block mining complexity increases to keep their discovery rate constant at one every 10 minutes[2]. This does not set a cap on the energy usage of mining for the network.

They’re already starting that with Workers & similar but it’s a LONG way from what enterprise customers want. Even if they have some modern stuff they’ll almost inevitably ask for the ability to run some old Windows 2008 server they’ve been meaning to get rid off.
I think local predictions are hard for any school to make accurately in economics, but broad swath stuff is doable. So, to have a decent shot at a good theory, you need to figure out what the most important drivers are in your situation of interest. In business cycle theory, I think it is the action of the interest rate over time which is the most important thing that gets short shrift in the main, and which drives the dynamics I speak about above.

I can make a regression say anything, but I predict the fed continues to operate, and the status quo of wealth flow from poor to rich continues. Now it can be modified by laws, and certainly will change with time, but the dynamics are there. You can superimpose other things on top and the results will vary. You can then make a model that focuses on one thing or another, and evaluate it statistically, and again, results will vary. This is some of how we ended up with a pluralist economics today.

I wrote up some other stuff about my anecdotal experience with modeling and searching for "good governance" in grad school, and how I disagreed with methodology of the papers I was reading, before abandoning the enterprise for a return to physical engineering, but I guess this is my chief point. Methodology designs in what you want to see. Economics is not a controlled science (I mean mostly the studies can have no actual control group), and therein festers a great rub. Good fun learning the statistical analysis methods though.
Is all of your content pulled via javascript? Could a server side language prerendering the content be part of your solution. You can still use javascript for everything else just not the content.
Oh yea, I skipped the history-section, didn't realize it's an Asesprite-fork.

I wouldn't say that the Fed is corrupt or incompetent by intention, rather it is part of a set of policies giving lenience to the financial system written by a generation that doesn't understand the need for strong regulation. Such generations come and go, usually in 50-year cycles as the older policymakers with memories of financial crises like the Great Depression die off.

This lack of regulation is part of the inequality issue. Other factors include a potentially flooded labor market driving down wages, allowing people in control of economic resources to reap more work for the same price. However, some skilled people in labor also use this as an opportunity to move up the ladder. It's complex, ever-changing system with multiple variables and outputs. Read more here:

I'd say the reason generic kernels/images are missing in the ARM world is because people generally don't run their own software on the ARM hardware they own. And the reason for that in turn is that often people don't have the ability to run their own software on their ARM hardware. Which brings us back to the GPL - this is standard "Tivoization", something that the GPLv3 tried to prevent, but unfortunately Linux is GPLv2... Still, for drivers that are open source and upstream, a practical consequence is typically that people are allowed to run their own kernels on the associated devices - which I think would give the PnP, generic image world you want.

This is all just to say, I don't think "GPL drivers" and "PnP generic images" are as separate as you're suggesting.

Hello! I am a software engineer with backend and SRE experience. 3+ years with various roles at Nike/Jaguar Land Rover/others.
Czechoslovak-born here. This is not completely correct either.

Communists won the election in 1946 and formed a coalition government in which they were the strongest force, but not completely dominant. There were other "bourgeoise" ministers. Unfortunately, Communists controlled the ministry of the interior and cleansed the police of "reactionary elements", thus cementing their control over the civilian law enforcement. Not over the army yet, though.

There were regular elections scheduled for May 1948 and opinion polls were indicating that Communist share of vote is actually going to diminish. So they preempted them by staging a coup supported by People's Militias (a completely illegal armed militia of the party) on February 25, 1948. After that, the democracy was toast and it was full speed towards Stalinism, show trials etc.

Some of the army generals wanted to suppress the coup militarily, but the aging President (Beneš) did not allow that. IDK if it would have been better or worse. Civil wars tend to leave a very toxic legacy.
UK lawsuits seem to be much rarer, but in this notorious case the lawsuit was against the police as an organization rather than the individuals involved: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/oct/07/met-police-p...

(our own comparable issue is probably Northern Ireland, and the still-outstanding litigation around Bloody Sunday and "Soldier F" etc)
The best thing about this news page is the complete lack of clickbait headlines. Some of the headlines are so good that you don't even have to read the article!
That is technically correct, technically.
On an aside, overly literal readings are imo an example of blatant strawmanning; rather than dealing with the crux of an argument or statement, instead revoke a technicality and consider it settled.

> The working class has a considerable amount of power when wielded correctly.

This is why "organized labor" is such a perfect term. Yes, the power is there. But without organization, it's not motion, it's just heat.
diego, what was the language used to implement that search engine back in 98'?
> But the cool heads in charge who studied classics are right of course.

Clearly not, as evidenced by their lack of proceeding with the plan. That's my point.
Generally, in the case of truly existential risk (IE, "everybody in the world will die if we don't do this thing") people accept the idea that authoritarianism (or rather, strong political powers overriding normal privacy concerns) are generally considered acceptable. covid itself is not an existential risk (nobody believes it will kill everybody, or kill enough people to make it impossible for the surivors to live), but the effects of long-term economic shutdown could pose a very serious risk.

What we want to avoid is stupid responses; for example, for all the people complaining that you needed an ID to travel on an airplane domestically in the US after 9/11, the real problems were the increased security theater- unnecessary changes that mainly existed to make people feel confident while travelling.
Hope is pretty close to the Erlang version:

factorial(0) -> 1;
factorial(N) -> N * factorial(N-1).

At first I was suspicious of function head clauses but have really come to like them. They make the code much more readable and easier to maintain. You can add another clause and keep your change diff small. It could be a general catch-all clause at the end, or a more specific, restricted case at the front and so on.

Tracing is also much nicer. Fire up dbg or recon and it's easy to pick off a particular clause without much effort.

Woah. Got more info on this?
Andreessen said on Twitter earlier today that he thinks the BTC price drop is due to inefficient miners selling BTC to fund OPEX and keep operations going. This activity is seen in the hash rate.
Also, 5.10 used to be considered the hardest climb humanly possible. Today, 5.12 is achievable by many climbers after years of practice. 5.14 routes are doable by a small subset, this is where anatomy and sheer innate talent begin to elevate the elite from the hard workers. Beyond 5.14, it's the best of the super climbers who also have some amount of luck in that they had the right nerves and physical preparation to dyno a 5.15 move once, but perhaps not every time. These are the climbs that can't be consistently repeated successfully even by the best.
> most coins (no reference, just surmising) are in exchanges rather than wallets owned by the end user.

Are you saying there are 7+ million BTC stored on exchanges? I disagree based on two data points: Bistamp's reserves were 180K in November 2013 and MtGox's were 850K (with 650K of them missing) at the time of its death.

Even if you add BTC-E, Chinese exchanges, Coinbase and LocalBitcoins, it most likely won't exceed 2-3 million which means the remaining 80% is owned by end users directly.

Well, I was trying to phrase it positively because the original example I came up with was that if your entire family dies in a car crash, it's likely to cause an instant, long lasting negative change in your personality. Guess I swung it too far in the other direction haha.

But changes can be negative in a less drastic way too. For example, I'm sure the forced isolation of the past year has brought out depressive tendencies in a lot of people. In the face of that, we do need to be reminded that we can take charge and make positive changes in ourselves and that there are tools like meditation or CBT to help us (although it's certainly not so easy or works so universally as suggested in certain motivational books).
It's such a tease seeing headlines like these as someone with a bone disease. I've started following grants for research on my illness 15 years ago, and every few years they reapply having discovered a tiny part of the process necessary to understand the disease and develop a therapy.
As a scientist I know things take time and hard, dedicated, work but as a patient it's soul-draining to see your life pass you by while waiting for these discoveries to materialize into cures or drugs.

A woman and her children were locked in their house yesterday morning a few miles from me. Thugs kicked in her door early in the morning and robbed the house. Usually they kill/rape/beat the inhabitants. This is a real thing. Also, it's not like I live in a bad area. These are nice suburbs.

A few years ago I had a nice wsl1 setup on a laptop with vcXsrv for X and I created a PS script/desktop shortcut that started vcXsrv, then spawned a wsl that called Termite. I love Termite.. kinda urxvt’ish but much prettier/easier setup/config/customization. That terminal/setup was super super fast and very nice
I believe typically not, but if you gave that freedom to other employees and then didn't in this scenario, you might be running afoul of laws against discriminating based on family status.

First of all - thank you for sharing Chorus with people in your life!

And that ISSS really interesting. We initially weren't as focused on startup CEOS as a core demographic, but since being in Y Combinator and seeing how much a bunch of our batch mates and finding it helpful we are totally rethinking how we can help other founders de-stress and navigate the challenging dynamics of starting a company more effectively. That's so great to hear that it helps with your leadership - I can totally see that. Being more empathetic and in touch is such a plus for leadership. I think your hypothesis about them being comfortable in intense environments AND knowing the importance of introspective practices is spot on!
Sure, but it's a perfectly reasonable retort to the claim that things are shittier now.
This is incorrect. Your employer is paying in and reporting your taxed income to the feds on a quarterly basis.

There are some exceptions to this depending on business size i think but the vast majority of the data is in the feds hands.

There is a mix in the area that have helped create your biome.

Now go into an area with decomposing bodies. The additional bacteria load will overwhelm most.

It's a little more complex qnd the way you explain it is how I would introduce the topic to my child. You may have billions of bacteria but if you introduce billions of different types you may not have the bacteriophages to deal with those types and your body may produce these as a defense (or not if your immune system is weak) but what happens in many cases your body may kill off beneficial bacteria and that gets replaced with a similiar but non-beneficial bacteria and because the phages changed you can't get back. We see this with fluoroquinolone antibiotics [1]
