The great thing about DO storage is that it is S3 API compatible. The not-so-great thing is that DO has serious stability issues. Try deleting 1000 files and the backend just gets stuck for like 5 minutes :/ Make more than 100 calls and you get rate limited. DO does not acknowledge how serious the issues are. Not sure how B2 API performs.
I don't think it's any one thing. Exercise helps people stay connected with others. Being healthy enough for exercise is important, but regular exercise also makes illness more obvious. If you stay at home watching TV then feeling bad does not change much, if you normally bike around then dizzy spells become really noticeable.
I'd say be realistic and gear your streams to educating. If you think you need to make perfect code, you'll become frustrated when you simply don't know something. As good/evil as SO and Googling are to our ability to remember, its what we do.

There's also longer term goals like Handmade Hero on YouTube. Think about some long term 2 year project and start making it. Make the next Spotify or PUBG. While that being successful would be equally nice, the channel could also be the more successful item.

>I mean, charging 1/9th of the amount that Amazon does sounds incredible. I'm guessing Amazon has lower costs but it also seems like they're just giving it away now.

Shop around, bandwidth costs nothing. Amazon & Co. simply charge insane prices. Backblaze will charge you $3285 if you download at 1gbit/s for a month straight, you can get a gbit line for 10th of that.
For some reason, it seems that lots of people find cryptocoin mining amoral. It's pretty unclear to me how they got there, but I can only guess that it's something like "free money" or a "get rich quick scheme." To think that I think is to discount the capital and operating expenses, to say nothing of the risk taken on.
At this point I think I am unaware what a punch card is. I was assuming a card that gets punched each time you visit a place, and after N punches you get an item for free. Is that right or totally off?

Don't be ridiculous. No physician or trainer would prescribe a century ride to a frail old person. That's something you have to work up to. But if they start with something easier then some of them will eventually stop being frail, and start being capable of completing long rides.
Personal information is not something with which I can buy my groceries or pay my pediatrician, so it's pretty understandable why people would not consider it on the same level as money or other assets.

>Galileo was hung for what he said.

I get the point of what you are saying (that times in the past have had very extreme responses to people stating things that were accurate but unpopular), but Galileo was not hung or even executed. He was placed under house arrest (the trouble he got into was also more about stepping on the Church's domain of interpreting Scripture rather than astronomical facts, but that's a tangential popular misconception).

Wrong. That can be one mechanism of inflation, but not the only one. There are many more sources of inflation. For example, the new world gold mines.

Yev from Backblaze -> There are of course trade-offs to every service, but we realized that we didn't need to be charging that much for downloads (we already lowered it from $0.05/GB to $0.02/GB in April 2017 - but after almost a year of gathering data realized we could have gone further down).
The majority of programmers should never be directly coding to account for DST but instead should be using libraries (JodaTime, moment.js) that abstract local time differences.

I think we're just getting to the point where it may become more common to separate the simpler problem of a single node, non-distributed 'store' with some kv interface below, and then build more complex distributed algorithms in a layer or two above. You can see some of the larger monolithic codebases that had to start by having their own code all the way up and down the stack, but now are starting to experiment with backend store interfaces so you can trade-off some of the strengths and weaknesses of various local store performance areas.

Along the same lines, a few newer codebases for distributed stores seem to be building with those delineations in mind. Another comment brought up Tidb/Tikv for example. Tikv iirc uses RocksDB as its local store.
It's a form of protest. If both flatMap and smooshMap are seen as equally "breaking the web", maybe TC39 will coose the less insane name for the method.
Reminder, Amazon's UK site already reports your purchases of many electronics to a police database. There is no opt-out.

It's statistics, if the probability of zero bystanders killed gets higher, it's easier to justify a strike to oneself and to others without being held responsible. It gets easier to justify to the public and the world. "It was an unpredictable accident, our weapons are precise"

But even if one could identify time frames when a target is far enough from bystanders to be hit with a hellfire.. the trivial counter is to always be among bystanders.

It would be complicated to answer questions such as "what time does school starts in your county"?

Today if you are American and I am French, if I say "we start at 8:30 and finish at 16:30" you would understand immediately. In UTC you would need to convert.

Of course UTC helps when we need to agree on the time to have a call.

RocksDB, LMDB, and LevelDB are basically low level disk representations used by the databases that do things like provide network access, sharding, and replication. OpenLDAP (LMDB), MySQL (MyRocks), Bigtable (LevelDB-like), Riak (LevelDB), etc.

Many are or can be used as key-value stores. MySQL actually has a memcached compatible KV store, using InnoDB for storage. Postgres has HStore. A lot of the distributed databases roughly fall into the category of KV stores: HBase, Riak, Cassandra, DynamoDB, etc.
The schools should just be starting at a later time. There is already ample evidence that school start times are too early for students.

==If you say that your environmental regulation actually made people healthier then you'd better be able to point to the dropping health insurance rates.==

Of course the rest of the world doesn't exist in a vacuum, which makes a simple cause->effect relationships hard. In the real world environmental regulations can be making the air cleaner while at the same time an opioid epidemic rages. If opioid costs outweigh air quality savings we won't see "dropping health insurance rates", but it also doesn't mean that no value exists to better air quality. The reverse of your question is: Would health care costs be the same in the absence of air quality regulations?

> ... Carlson suspected that many of these stalwarts were probably doing so irrationally ... others had found a way to making mining pay.

Is the electricity cost really that significant when compared with the amortized cost of the mining equipment itself?

Lo those many years ago that I looked into mining, it was marked by extreme risk. New ASIC designs would emerge that would obsolete the old ones. Retailers would have extremely long and unpredictable lead times for new equipment. You could bet on the wrong manufacturer and end up with no product or late product, which would arrive after your competition delivers a difficulty increase.

I would wager that this system finds equilibrium marked by optimism, such that everyone has at least a minimal net operating loss. But maybe if you get on the leading wave of ASIC production somehow you can stay ahead?
I've got to admit Steve, you really spiked my blood pressure this morning with a statement like "we're changing the module system." -- I'm outraged that you would link to this well reasoned, well written RFC that has such a clean and simple migration story! ;-)

I'm actually most hyped about `#![feature(crate_visibility_modifier)]` to be honest. I know it's essentially just an alias for pub(crate), but I'm all about typing less parens in my item definitions! I didn't know about the other `pub(...)` modifiers for the longest time, but they've been so useful for things like games programming, where the entire point of the exercise boils down to "cross cutting concerns" and "eh you've got a &mut Player anyways, just reach in there and poke at the state!"

The `../mod.rs` change is also quite nice. I mean, at the end of the day it'll only save me a `mv` command and a refresh of my directory listing in vim, but sometimes those small context switches can have a surprisingly large impact on flow; since now I'm thinking about filesystems and module trees rather than the problem at hand.
This is really the dirty secret for the big 3 cloud providers. Their egress charges have huge margins. I’m hoping that smaller players like Digital Ocean reaching up, and better competition across the big 3 starts to push egress pricing back into a more reasonable level.

Ok, so cooooolest thing ever with org mode I found out the other day is that you can refer table cell results from your paragraphs:

#+CAPTION: Constants
#+NAME: tab_constants
| Constant | Value |
|---------------------------+-------|
| A | 1 |
| B | 90 |
| C | 90 |
| D | 12 |
| *Total* | 240. |
#+TBLFM: @6$2=@2 * @5 / ((@3 + @4) / 60 / 60)

We come to the conclusion that with src_emacs-lisp[:var d=tab_constants[2,1]]{d} VR rig constantly busy for src_emacs-lisp[:var d=tab_constants[5,1]]{d} hours.
Resulting in src_emacs-lisp[:var d=tab_constants[6,1]]{d} people going through the experience.

And with this, whenever I change the constants in my table, my whole document updates. I find that insane. No more having to update numbers everywhere in the document everytime I change an input in my tables. Then you can just export to anything (I do org->html->princexml->pdf for easy CSS styling, but you can do org->latex->pdf beem).

I've also been giving it a try for brainstorming code and todos on side projects. Here's an example, it started by being pseudo code for some code, then basic python (because it was so close to my pseudo code, then I started implementing elisp in TDD inside my ord-mode doc. So it evolved like that: notes->pseudo code->tdd in the same doc:

What's really cool about orgmode rather than MS word is that it's text, so easily portable and gitable. You get powerful track changes for your documents.
Yup. The convention here is only to link to the posts that received discussion, since users get ornery when they click on a link and nothing's there.
I like toys as much as the next nerd, but how do people see the perceived value of such tools? Personally, I am relatively unconvinced about the advantages of tools like emacs or vim over anything "regular" people use. IMHO Tools should be evaluated by the results they produce, and so are we seeing anything amazing from the users of these tools versus people who just use a notepad or whatever other generic system?

I've been using vim for over 10 years. This is, imo, the happy path to being very productive in vim.

1. Learn basic movements and insert/normal mode

2. Learn advanced movements. When you want to insert some text learn the fastest way to move your cursor to that location in normal mode. Learn the different way move from normal mode to insert mode.

3. Learn find & replace commands.

4. Learn macros for repetitive tasks.

5. Learn when to use visual mode.

6. Improve .vimrc file. Remap keys to reduce keystrokes based on your personal workflow.

7. Learn about buffers.
I'm not sure if this article refers to cubic zirconia, moissanite or some new flavour of human-made diamonds but in either case, this is has been going on for 40 years.

The market for diamonds isn't rational, so how it will behave is not predictable.

First, the idea that diamonds maintain value is nonsense. This isn't gold or some other mineral "currency." You can sell gold anywhere for close to its spot price. Diamonds OTOH, have buy-sell "spreads" more like antiques or collectible shoes.

So, the subtitle is already on the wrong path. Diamonds have never been good stores of wealth, that's why the earlier dowry traditions use gold, cattle, secret recipes or some other reliable asset.

With cubic zirconia & moissanite, the diamond industry learned to recognise the "fakes." They've had machines for a while, but the industry also invested a lot in jeweler training. The reason for this is perception. If only machines know the difference...

For the average buyer, they're encouraged to note differences in "brilliance" & "fire" which is kind of visible in certain light. Ironically, zirconia & moissanite are different from diamonds in opposite ways, one more and the other less fiery.

This is a pure pr fight. If people use terms like "fake diamonds" then de beers wins. "Blood diamonds," then they lose.

Curious side note: the CCP has influence on Chinese consumer culture that doesn't exist elsewhere. If they say manufactured diamonds are real, then they are. China doesn't mine diamonds, but they do manufacture them....

These are all good points, but I'd say two things:

1. Whatever C++'s weaknesses in this area are, it's superior to Go, so C++ programmers aren't going to switch to Go because of this.

2. Not everything is about raw throughput. You can't do anything latency sensitive on a GPU. Consider a game: the pixels get drawn on the GPU, and the physics might happen on the GPU, but you still have a ton of highly latency sensitive things that are going to have to be done by the CPU, such as input handling and networking. Also, even with low driver overhead APIs like Vulkan, you still have to have something on the CPU telling the GPU what to do. Finally, GPUs aren't good at branch-heavy workloads in general.
I suppose that may have caused SEO problems as well.
There's a lot more to org than the GTD/organizer aspects. It's brilliant for just writing and note taking, and can export to TeX/PDF/HTML with no friction at all. It also provides a great environment for literate programming, and also for polyglot use cases (code + scripts + makefiles + whatever), as well as a Jupyter-like interface for "live documents".

The tables functionality is also great, and the structural editing aspects (move subtrees, bullet lists, etc) is very handy when editing as well.
I'll look past your unwarranted snark - even with everything you said, my point is simple and nothing you say contradicts it: if you can only afford a phone for $300 or you only want to spend $300 on a phone, you are going to pick Android because iOS isn't even an option for you.

Whether you think people who buy Apple products have a poor concept of value or not is frankly irrelevant to the discussion.

Perhaps not, but if abuse like that happens there are avenues to fight it. For example, see all the BLM protests regarding police brutality. In China, there is not even a need of pretense. If you criticize the government, you are gone. The BLM equivalent in China, the student uprising, was literally squashed with tanks. So, to conflate our two systems and say the difference in freedom is non-existent is the joke.
