I have many dedicated servers for client production systems. I have found it is cheaper than a virtual private server. I also feel I have more control over the infrastructure. However I do use online backup services like tarsnap for Disaster recovery. I also have dedicated replacement hardware in case of a failure.

Really the answer to your question is: it depends.

Some times a virtual cloud server makes sense, sometimes a on premise server running kubernetes is the answer. I would recommend you look at how you will need to scale in the future and not paint yourself into a corner. If you do on premises correctly migrating to a cloud server is painless and vise versa

The poor man's laser etched silicon?
Dude did have a point. Moving a large part of our memories outside of our skulls did change things quite a bit, just as leveraging the indexing and retrieval capabilities of computers (and systems of computers) has done more recently. We remember different things, and the way in which we remember those things is also different.

It's not that we've lost the abilities of our ancestors; it's more that we've gotten out of the habit of using them. How many hundreds of songs do you have stored in your head? Imagine living in a world where your "textbooks" and "user manuals" are written to have similar rhyme, alliteration and rhythm, and are only passed orally. People did live in that world (many still do), and when that world ends, and none of the kids today can recite, for instance, Inside Macintosh - they have to use some sort of grimoire or codex instead - it's easy to see that as a loss. It's harder to see it as a lever.

If you are doing this, pay attention to the amount of dead tuples being accumulated over batches. We had to vaccuum analyze after each batch at least on one occasion where the index stopped being used by the query planner after a certain threshold of dead tuples. Even though there was no table lock, the performance hit made the application unusable from long running queries.

The following query will show dead tuple count for the table: select tuple_count, dead_tuple_count from pgstattuple('table_name');
Great take! Yeah, that would be a very common sentiment.

Just the idea of the escape not really being one when the real suck so hard is all I was getting at. Two, odd day closures would prove to be no salve.

What isn't? Home tape drive ownership, sure. But what I'm proposing (essentially hiring a remote tape drive, getting the result back in the post) is vastly cheaper than cloud storage.
S3 does not use tapes to backup. It’s reliant on large scale and erasure coding to achieve its slo around storage. They aren’t looking for point in time recovery, they only guarantee availability.

I’d say this the same for any systems optimizing for availability over RPO.
It would, and that work you linked is new to me.

Thanks. Great, thought provoking read.
Maybe this is just me, but those performance claims seem a bit dubious. Or rather the visualisation is suspect. While it's clear that DoH performed better in the cases where DNS had a hiccup I can't say with certainty DoH didn't have similar hiccups that were hidden by the way they presented the data.

In fact, assuming there's no deep meaningful dependence between the performance of DoH and DNS requests then ordering by the performance of DNS requests clusters all the bad DNS requests and shuffles the DoH requests randomly. It's therefore not surprising that after averaging you see a spike of bad DNS requests which is absent for the DoH requests (you're essentially looking at the quantile function of the DNS requests minus the average of the DoH requests).

Edit: unless what we're looking at is the difference of both quantile functions, but then the language describing the graph is a bit confusing and just plotting both quantile functions would have saved a lot of confusion.

This is one of the points the author makes in the book "Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder". He points out that one of the big examples of something where theory came first, then application came afterwards is the atomic bomb.

In a lot of other areas of practical invention, application comes first, then people come in afterwards with a theory. And frequently, the theorists take credit for the invention as if the theory had come first. He had some examples of this happening.

I use DuckDuckGo for a similar reason. My Google search settings are set to show result in Ukrainian or English, but Google never follows the settings and returns results in Russian for queries that are clearly written in either Ukrainian or English. DuckDuckGo will give you results in the language you made query in, as you'd expect.
Yes, the stunt I pulled in college was dangerous, but adding a gallon or even two to a healthy adult's water consumption throughout the course of a day is not. Especially considering the sodium content of modern diets. And those can be supplemented by snacking on crisps, pickles, or salted nuts, if needed.

Water drinking contests, along with overhydration during/after intense physical exertion (e.g. marathons, partying on MDMA), account for nearly all known cases of death from water intoxication.

With the caveat that I also have no particular inside knowledge of this, I think you're on to something. I keep seeing these demos which show virtual video game characters or hyper-realistic objects and I can't help but think that it's complete overkill for a first generation consumer product. From a visual perspective, all I need out of my first gen AR glasses is to project some text annotations next to a real object, or show an arrow where I need to turn left. You don't need to fool me into thinking a virtual object is real. I'm looking for utility, not immersion.
OP referred to immobility as a main concern. Private education solves that. So do many public education systems (ex. the Netherlands) that give parents more freedom in choosing institutions suitable for their kids.
Not to mention they have exact numbers to help, too. A human sees a healthbar ~1/4 full of a hero with ~1200 health and has to guess whether their ~300 damage spell will kill them. If not, are they sure they're in range for an auto attack, too? Will the enemy health regen push them over the life-death boundary in the time it takes for the projectile to reach? The bots know these numbers _precisely_.
I agree. It seems we are just constantly moving from one moral panic to the next. It doesn't mean that there are no valid concerns, just that we need to stop and realize that overdramatizing everything isn't actually solving any problems.

I would argue its just another problem caused by our inability as a nation to rise above a childish level of discussion on just about any subject.

This concept offers a different approach to the home-automation UIs. It is not a real working app, but the result of a tutorial to learn how to use zircle-ui, which is the library used in this example (https://github.com/zircleUI/zircleUI).

Indeed, in RISC-V, full 32-bit constants must be broken across two instructions. The translation goes:

; 1. lea MemoryAddress(pc), a0
auipc a0, [upper 20 bits of (MemoryAddress - label)]
addi a0, a0, [lower 12 bits of (MemoryAddress - label)]
label:
; 2. move.l #$00bfe001, a1
lui a1, 0x00bfe000
addi a1, a1, 0x001
; 3. rts
jalr x0, x1, 0

It is cumbersome in that sense. But it will probably be handled by an assembler (as a macro or builtin). The spec contains an appendix of "pseudoinstructions", which gives the first translation above. There isn't even a dedicated "move" instruction—it's just "addi dst, src, 0" by convention! Clearly anyone writing assembly will use at least that pseudoinstruction.

If there's a canonical format for "pseudoinstructions", and all assemblers handle them in the same way, and the abstraction doesn't leak in any way (i.e. the only temporary registers you use are ones you overwrite fully by the end; it is true that now some "instructions" have longer encodings, but that comes with the compressed instructions anyway; and it is true that an interrupt could happen between the two halves of the "instruction", but I think that shouldn't make a difference), then I don't think there's much of a problem.

Only if you want folks to suffer and have trouble being part of society.

I'll add that PTSD doesn't only happen to people that have done things - it happens to folks that have been through some sort of trauma. Victims of child abuse or spousal abuse, for example. Sometimes folks that have been in car accidents, fires, and other such things. I know a person that is in inpatient treatment right now because it got so bad... again. She's mostly in treatment because the thought of her children going through a parental suicide made her feel badly.

And I'll add this as well: Soldiers don't always have the real choice to do things differently, especially in draft situations or if someone has been lied to in recruitment (really common). And I'll add that forgiving oneself is not the same as being OK with everything that happened, simply that the overriding guilt doesn't own your life and affect everyone that you know. People change but their past often doesn't (there are some exceptions, such as missed information, but what you thought is still what you thought).

This used to be the case too in Netherland. Until the 1990s, cars had right of way over bikes in most (not all) situations. A car coming from the left would have right of way over a bike coming from the right. This was only fixed in the 1990s.

You can't just grab a permissive license, like MIT, ignore it, and go, "Hey, this is GPL now."

That's entirely incorrect. You cannot ever ignore the terms of a license, just because you want to use another license. You must under all circumstances, honour the terms of the license for which you were granted the right to reproduce someone-else's work.

MIT is compatible with GPL. In the sense that it's possible to honour both the terms of the MIT and the GPL simultaneously. You must however, still honour the MIT license in its entirety i.e. Display the MIT license notice in its entirety; it's right there in the license text.

Any new project isn't GPL licensed, it's GPL and MIT licensed. People need to understand this. If I grab someone's code off Github that's supposedly GPL, but it includes MIT code; I can't just chose to honour the GPL and ignore the MIT. That's copyright infringement, plain and simple.

Very exciting! While, I do believe basic-income is a part of the future, it MUST be paired with providing other social goods. Public school, single payer healthcare, cheap & healthy food, cheap housing, etc.

Without these necessities also being taken care of, there's a good chance people will still not be able to make ends meet.

Seems likely that if a $$ value was ever set for basic-income it would be very hard to move it. We could also try and set it so it always changes and is based upon cost-of-living. That itself is tough though since cost-of-living varies so drastically.
This works only on roads where cars and bikes go the same speed. There are many roads where cars want to go faster than that.
Startup takes stress out of fed-up workers' exit plans
There has been earlier work on getting git-style branched versioning on top of databases. For relational databases, OrpheusDB (http://orpheus-db.github.io/) puts a layer over PostgreSQL. They also supply a gRPC layer for interacting with the server.

For key-value systems, there are simple techniques for adding branched versioning to key-value (particularly ordered key-value) stores. We are using it for our research dataservice that holds 25+ TB of Connectomics data, which includes 3d image and segmentation data (http://dvid.io). Our paper is currently under review but should have been out several years ago :) We can use a variety of key-value storage backends and are experimenting with versioned relational DBs, so I'll definitely give LiteTree a look.
It's not clear from the documentation, is this forked out of the Q3 codebase or based on the LCC book or just totally independently created?
