You need to understand the dynamics of LA residential politics. Neighborhoods like Beechwood Canyon are fantastically expensive and are filled with industry elites. They are also extremely inconvenient to build on and travel through, with tiny, twisty single lane streets that clog up with traffic very easily. I am not at all surprised to see that some of the residents are using their influence in the entertainment industry to get a big studio to pay to get tourists out. At least it's not taxpayer money.

One can make the very valid argument that these wealthy homeowners knew exactly what they were getting into when they bought property near one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. Having gone there once, I can understand why they get annoyed however. Parking is already difficult, not everyone has a driveway or garage due to the terrain and to make it worse, bad behavior by visitors (throwing trash on the ground, defecating/urinating in bushes [no public toilets], etc) makes a tony area look pretty crappy.

I have no problem with the OP's line of reasoning.

It's obvious that Elon Musk has a larger than normal ego. I'm sure that this hands-on attempt to help probably greatly satisfied that ego but it seems reasonable that a monetary contribution could have done as much or more good while also appearing less selfish.

There was absolutely no reason for Musk himself to actually go to the cave either. Send some expert engineers along with your sub, sure, but I have no idea what help he thought he would be providing in person.

I use Android, Linux (at home), and Mac (at work). I switched from KeePass because the UI was really bad, it seemed dead, and I really didn't want to move to KeePass 2 (with Mono on Linux). I switched to enpass, and it's been great. It has native Linux/Mac/Windows apps, a solid Android app (with fingerprint support), and there's no subscription. It's perfect for my needs.
Something like that could only work if prices are scraped from one source only. If multiple sources are used they could just compare prices and exclude the ones that fall way off. So my guess is your site is an edge case.

There's always that one exception - Brian Eno released a floppy disk album called Generative Music 1 in 1996. It required Windows 95 and a Sound Blaster AWE32 to play:

https://intermorphic.com/sseyo/koan/generativemusic1/

"The works I have made with this system symbolise, to me, the beginning of a new era of music. Until a hundred years ago, every musical event was unique: music was ephemeral and unrepeatable, and even classical scoring couldn't guarantee precise duplication. Then came the gramophone record, which captured particular performances, and made it possible to hear them identically, over and over again.

But now, there are three alternatives: live music, recorded music, and generative music. Generative music enjoys some of the benefits of both its ancestors. Like live music, it is always different. Like recorded music, it is free of time-and-place limitations — you can hear it when and where you want.

Edit: There is a YouTube recording of someone's generated version of Lysis (Tungsten) from the album:

> KeePassXC and Dropbox "just works," and it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, *BSD, Android, iOS, ...

At least on iOS, this doesn't appear to be meaningfully true. With 1Password if I have navigated to a site's login page in Safari, all I need to do is hit the 1Password Activity button and it will populate my name and password.

With "Keepass Touch for iOS" my options are either: "You're browsing wrong. If you want to log in to something, use the integrated browser" or "switch apps from safari to Keepass, copy username to clipboard, switch back to Safari, paste username, switch back to Keepass, copy password, switch back to Safari, paste."

No thanks. This is still meaningfully behind in the usability department.
I'm reminded of a fellow in, IIRC, St. Louis. He expends tremendous amounts of energy, time, and money rescuing stray dogs, to the point where he doesn't have much of a social life. It's all about the dogs.

Someone asked him why he didn't instead pour that energy into helping homeless people. His response was something to the effect that there were plenty of others helping people; his passion was the dogs. I believe he also turned the question around: what are you doing to help the homeless?

A few dozen cave divers can't do much to help the millions of impoverished children, but they used their skills to perform heroic and deadly feats to help 12 children and their coach, and inspired many around the world to ask themselves these types of questions.

Reducing that to a cost-benefit analysis vs some vague "but can't we spend that effort on the other lost kids?" question is both impossible and missing the point.

>Again, I think this comparison is a bit contrived -- an entire industry vs. one product at one company. Google's search engine disappearing is more analogous to a railroad or pipeline subsidiary of an oil company.

You're focusing on the wrong thing on my argument. I used Google as a stand-in for web search in general -- regardless of company. Because for me, and most of the west, Google is that: all of search.

My argument wasn't really about the one company, or about not being able to replace the company (we could just use Bing and make do with it if that was all I meant it for).

What's more, I also think my argument would hold even if taken to mean the web in general (and not just search). It would still be less catastrophic (and quite mild after a small re-adjustment period) than losing the fossil energy sector.

>If you want to make an accurate analogy, compare the disappearance of oil to the disappearance of all modern computing. Both would be catastrophic.

Both would be catastrophic but the latter less so. We did fine with minimal to no computers in the 60s. We can always go back to that level, which is not that savage or even old. Without fossil fuels (and no transition period to slowly replace them in toto with alternative sources) there would be zombie apocalypse levels of mayhem.

Seems like a good idea for new project. The article says "You don't have to create a Dockerfile" but honestly, who does?

There are a ton of Gradle/SBT/Maven plugins that build your container for you. Most call your Docker daemon API directly, copy in all your jars and write a startup script. Some generate a Dockerfile, but they stick it in your build directly and you never touch it directly.

The advantage is not needing a Docker daemon. That is pretty nice. However I already need a daemon in our Jenkins pipeline and a lot of my unit tests use the Scala testcontainers framework (so I can run tests against a real MySQL or Postgres DB, which is way nicer than using mocks or H2).

So it is nice, but chances are, we're already running container daemons everywhere already.

Plus I'm sure for this to be really useful, we'll need ECR plugins as well (which will probably need to be 3rd party because I don't see Google supporting AWS officially).

I wouldn't move to this if I was on something that worked. That previous article about the team going back to maven after a gradle migration is kinda in that same view: with a new project you can make it clean, but your current project is probably so customized around your workflow that unless you can make a case for a really bad pain point it will solve, it's probably not worth it.

A good pain point I think this would solve is if your CI doesn't have access to a Docker daemon at all (for security or you're using a hosted solution or whatever) and you want to be able to build containers and publish them in your CI.
> You push data consistency concerns out of the database and between service boundaries.

Sing that from the rooftops. That is exactly my observation as well. All the vanilla "track some resource"-style webapps I've worked on were never designed to cope with a consistency boundary that spans across service boundaries. Turning a monolith into distributed services is hard for that reason - you have to redesign your data access to ensure that consistency boundaries don't span across multiple services. If you don't do that, then you have to learn to cope with eventual consistency; in my experience, most people just don't think that way. I know I have trouble with it. Surely I'm not the only one.
I've recently been exploring AWS Lambda in a stack which contained API Gateway + Python Flask under Lambda for a task I was working on. I deployed it using Zappa and its purpose was to be a simple REST frontend for transferring files to S3.

After experimenting with uploads from Lambda to S3 I was noticing that the time to upload a tiny 4MB file changed dramatically when I reconfigured the Lambda function's memory size. At 500MB it took 16 seconds to upload the file which is pretty slow. Once I got past roughly 1500MB of memory, the performance no longer improved and the best I could get was about 8 seconds for the same payload.

None of my tests were controlled or rigorous in any way so take them with a grain of salt...they were just surprising to me that the speed changed dramatically with memory size allocation. I'm new to Lambda so I wasn't ware that memory size is tied to other resource performance. I'm curious if this goes beyond CPU and also changes network bandwidth/performance? The Lambda I deployed did not write data to the temp location that is provided, it streamed directly to S3.

I've since moved on from this implementation and now my Lambda function performs a much simpler task of generating pre-signed S3 URLs. I have noticed something else about Lambda that bothers me a little. If my function remains idle for some period of time and then I invoke it, the amount of time it takes to execute is around 800ms-1000ms. If I perform numerous calls right after, I get billed the minimum of 100ms because the execution time is under that. The part that bothers me is I'm being charged a one-time cost that's about 8x-10x the normal amount because my function has gone idle and cold. I'll have to continue reading to see if this is expected. It's not a huge amount in terms of cost but surprising that I'm paying for AWS to wake up from whatever state it is in.
I guess ProtonVPN refuses to pay BestVPN affiliate referral fees.

For everyone just tuning in, BestVPN is one of the top English-language VPN affiliate review sites. They get paid when you signup for a VPN via their site. Their "rankings" are exactly lined up to how much profit they make off your clicks.

You'll note Nord is their #3 "Best VPN Overall." I'd guess the shade they're throwing is a move to improve their negotiating position.

That could just be correlation.

India and China were doing fine until the Europeans came and subjugated them. There was some upheaval when the Europeans left and created a power vacuum. Shockingly, being conquered and ceded and the related civil unrest could also be blamed for (for example) strongman dictators that happened to come into power and cause famines, or genocide and sectarian strife. A lot of that conquering was done in the name of capitalism. (The British East India company, specifically).

Capitalism is fine, it serves the purpose of obtaining a local optimum in certain trade situations. But it is a completely amoral theory. All it tells us is if this, then that. It is a set of formulas.

Sometimes it creates net good, because it causes us to have more efficient and liquid markets, overall creating more wealth for those allowed to participate in the market. But other times it tells us, these people should starve or go homeless, because they don't create economic value. (In true, unbridled capitalism, a lot of marginalized people would simply die). The number of people who don't create economic value will clearly increase if automation of 'work' continues.

>Technology destroys people. We’re already cyborgs (pacemakers, hearing aids) of a sort, and are well on our way to the type of Big Brother dystopia of the techno-utopians

This one cuts quite close to the bone and I find this comment quite shortsighted and in poor taste.

My mother's life was saved by some extremely swift handling by medical professionals and (here it comes) technology. Where I'm from, if someone has a heart attack everyone in the vicinity who is trained gets a text message with the location and/or situation.

By sheer luck one of these people was in the neighbourhood and got a text message. By another stupidly lucky coincidence this woman had a defibrillator at home, which was nearby. She ran to her home, got the machine, and ran to our home and tried to restore my mother's heartbeat.

I don't know the details but my mother was saved by technology that day and she's been living roughly 10 years now with a little machine next to her heart. Every time her heart beats in an irregular fashion the machine gives a little zap (which hurts, a lot) and restores the beat. Luckily, this happens rarely, but still.

I'm not sure where I am going with this rant, but someone very dear to me was saved by technology, and i'd take the cyborg life over being dead.
No it hasn't. Industrial and scientific advancements are to be credited with this. Not asinine resource allocation systems, that have in fact needlessly let people die.
Those tricks certainly are necessary to compile Forth, it's common to define words that create new words for custom data structure, which extend the grammar of Forth. Any time you use 'create ... does>' you are in effect extending the grammar in an ad-hoc way.

Assuming the author's tests are single-thread, I'm pretty sure 1024 MB doesn't give you a full CPU core on Lambda. I could be wrong though; I haven't payed attention to Lambda in a long time. Last I remember it was 1.5 GB that gave you a full core. This alone makes the comparison between a mid-range server and Lambda unfair, not to mention the differences between language runtimes.

That said, if you are using Lambda and expecting to not pay extra you have somehow been mislead. Lambda is definitely more expensive per cycle than managing your own instances, and I doubt that will change any time soon.

I'm sorry, those are bad. The first is a joyless dissection of wordy music theory, which is to production of music as Freudian literary analysis is to writing. That's all made up post-hoc by the academics, the artist never has any of those intentions in mind when they make music and it describes nobody's creative process. And by the way it's synthwave, not vaporwave.

The second immediately parroted that stupid myth that vaporwave is all some kind of cerebral criticism of capitalist consumerism. Ugh. One pretentious guy wrote a big "think piece" about that back in like 2011 and it spread like cancer despite all the founding producers in those days going on record saying they have no idea what he was talking about. It's just this soulless and cynical method of taking the complex, hard-to-pin-down emotions that music can evoke and cheapening it into some trite social commentary with a shoehorn and a can of WD-40 to make your banalities fit. So sad. And then the guy in the video goes on to make terrible imitation vaporwave to further demonstrate that he just doesn't get it.
Thank you, the link is appreciated. However, it doesn't support your claim that "Cultures that had no issue breastfeeding started treating it as brutish".

It seems to me that a potential flaw with this plan is that mounting patent litigation costs money, so if everyone just joins the PTG to avoid expensive patent litigation defense, then the PTG would not have any income to sustain itself. Its continued survival would require that a significant percentage of cases end up with cash winnings instead of the target joining the PTG.
