> tomatoes are technically fruits

Tomatoes are quite obviously fruits. Most of the industrial tomatoes are tasteless because they're harvested well before they're properly ripe, but a ripe tomato harvested at the appropriate time is obviously (and tastes like) a fruit.

It's almost as if vegetable is an overly broad (and as such not particularly useful) designation in the common lingo, much like dinosaur ;)
Impressing, that's real engineering. That persistence astonishes & impresses me!
Nope I've been thinking the same..even thinking of picking up an iPHone which I've never used before.
That makes sense to me. But, how about mushrooms? Do people consider mushrooms to be vegetables, or are there three different over-arching categories of food, meat, vegetables, and fungus? I'd argue that distinguishing between vegetables and funguses isn't very important, and that it'd be safe to lump all funguses into vegetables for purposes of food. I don't know if that's typically what's done, however.

If there's going to be three categories, I would think meat, seafood, and vegetables (including funguses) would be more useful than going by scientific kingdom.
> I am aware of the following drawbacks of OVH:

They are all false. OVH is a Public Cloud provider, just like AWS, GCP and Azure.

> * No disk replication i.e unlike EBS or Google disk, if my disk fails, I am at the mercy of my backups (given no RAID)

https://www.ovh.com/world/public-cloud/storage/additional-di...

> * No private network for all the servers by default. Unlike AWS security groups or Google Cloud private networks (which are setup by default), I will have to pay for vRack to setup a private network and is more complicated.

https://www.ovh.com/world/solutions/vrack/

> * Decreased flexibility i.e I may not be able to spin up instances instantaneously or shut down instances to save costs in off peak times.

I had to return a prorated portion of my signing bonus and relocation expenses. The larger financial hit was that none of my RSUs had vested, so I walked away from those entirely (my understanding is that Google has since changed their policy and RSUs now begin vesting immediately).

To be clear, I don't recommend that anyone join Google with the intention of leaving in less than a year. Even though I wasn't particularly enjoying myself, I was planning on staying for ~18 months to pay back Google's investment in my training. In the end though I changed my mind and left earlier because an opportunity came up that was simply too good to refuse.

I must admit I'm a screen guy. I feel not at home when I find a system without screen and I miss the "killer feature" of connecting to any tty at any baud rate

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600

in tmux. But recently I tried to switch to tmux and found a few useful configurations.

1) I have alacritty as a terminal so no scrollback and no tabs (yeah there is a scrollback branch, but why duplicate functionality?) So my default setup right now is that alacritty (I use i3 so alacritty is bound to meta+enter) opens with this line (this way only one terminal can be opened and has always the same state)

tmux attach -d -t alacritty || tmux new -s alacritty

So I got scrollback and tabs. Also I added

bind-key -n C-t new-window
bind-key -n C-PPage previous-window
bind-key -n C-NPage next-window

to the config so I can use it like any normal terminal with ctrl+t (new tab) and ctrl + pgup/down to switch between them. In theory I could even add shift with (C-S-t), but this somehow doesn't work for me and I found conflicting information on it and some outdated infos so I just stopped looking.

The second configuration that I like to use is what everybody uses

2)

unbind C-b
set-option -g prefix C-a
bind-key C-a send-prefix

to change the prefix to the sane ctrl+a screen default.

Also setting colors is a must for neomutt and co

set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"

I'm still experimenting with configs for my desktops and servers, but I'm feeling a bit more at home with tmux right now.

Oh and for anyone who doesn't know of byobu check it out http://byobu.co/ it's a wrapper around screen and/or tmux and is easy for beginners and a nice change for everybody else.

This is an example of why the traditional approach to music theory can be cryptic for a beginner. After the Western music moved to well and equally tempered scales (starting from the early 1700's), the context in which there is a difference between C# and Db has disappeared. But we still use terminology and notation from 500-800 years ago.
I'm referring to the curriculum as generally taught at the university level. Samuelson & Nordhaus, as I studied it; today likely Mankiw or Krugman.

The lightning headphones are accepting a digital signal and have a DAC inside the cable. Even with the correct physically-wired adapter (you could create one by bridging a regular USB to Lightning adapter to the Lightning headphones, if you wanted), a computer attached to them would see a USB DAC, and would need a driver for said DAC. Until such a time as such drivers are written, for every OS, that adapter wouldn't function the way people expect it to (i.e. universally), so they don't bother making it.
I finally found a wonderful performance video of a player on the Uilleann pipes that I saved ages ago! It's unfortunately on Facebook, but this is beautiful playing (particularly on the regulators): https://www.facebook.com/UCDChoralScholars/videos/7786129522...

And yeah, sometimes the sound just gets you going! The drones in particular have a peculiar effect and for some people they just get right inside your head. There's really only two historic instruments that implement proper drones; the pipes, and the hurdy gurdy. There's something really ancient and stirring about drones in music!
Apple is kinda put into a tight spot with lightning; they spent a bunch of money developing the connector an accessory platform. Now usb-c is taking over and they've moved to 100% usb-c on their laptops. it'll be interesting to see if the lightning connector gets The Chopping Block anytime soon

AWS may be the most flexible option out there. And if you need flexibility, that matters. But If you are more established, without changing needs, and can define exactly what yhose needs are, other vendors often will be cheaper.

Startups therefore like AWS - they have too many unknowns. (And too many "don't know what they don't know" factors). More established, mature organizations have more of an option to lose flexibility in exchange for a lower cost.
Yeah, BT is literally impossible to use live. Every ms counts, and here we’re on the order of 50-150. Even native drivers often aren’t good enough for wired equipment, forcing users to upgrade to ASIO drivers! I know I couldn't use my guitar interface or keyboard without them during my Windows days, though the situation is admittedly much improved on the macOS side.
There are some people who don't feel pain (congenital insensitivity to pain). If there was a way to raise animals such that they lack the ability to feel pain and emotions, would it be acceptable to vegans to then consume animals?
One of the reasons I'm not Christian is because Christianity posits that "god loves you" and acts like doing god's will is some kind of vending machine for getting everything you want out of life or something. The idea that "god loves you" unconditionally and will do your bidding and arrange life to suit your whims runs up against problems in a world of 7 billion people.

Similarly, the mods must balance the good of the whole against the good of the individual, and they must do so without the benefit of omniscience and omnipotence.

Asking specific individuals who have done X (in this case posting flamebait) to please not do X is one of the tools they have for trying to let individuals speak without it being unduly problematic for the forum as a whole.

Allowing individuals to do X and then trying to get after everyone else for "taking the bait" so to speak is just not a good way to handle things.

I'm fond of the mods. I think they do an uncommonly good job. Granted, I'm possibly biased because I appear to be the only woman to have ever made the leaderboard, so the way they currently handle things arguably works for me.

I wish you well and I hope you eventually find a way to interact with the forum that satisfies you. I personally think you are completely unnecessarily turning this into a hill to die on and that tends to lead to being banned if you persist long enough. That's just reality. The mods have to call it quits at some point when someone is regularly breaking the rules and refuses to cooperate when they are told the rules apply to them and they are currently breaking them.

But I really need to get on with my life. I have other things to tend to today and I was only foolishly engaging you yesterday because I was under the weather and, at such times, bad habits of mine tend to come to the fore, such as me trying to be kind and helpful to strangers even though there is a very long history of that biting me in the ass bigtime and I really should know better by now.

So you will need to excuse me, but I'm feeling better today and not so inclined to feel like "Fuck this shitty, shitty world and it's asshole rules about not being kind to people because looking out for number one is all that fucking matters." That's a form of temporary insanity I am prone to (that never fails to bite me in the ass when I indulge it) and I'm more rational today.

Ciao.

I buy Etymotic in-ear monitors, pretty damn expensive.

Despite thorough personal grooming and only having them at a studio desk, the part of the cable that wraps around the top of the ear will still get eaten through to the copper by the oil on my ears after about two years.

Shitty or not, headphones—at least the ones that see thorough use—are consumables.
Doing whatever it takes to get personal benefit even though it screws over others is the opposite of collectivism. As somedy who lived in China, Europe, and the US the notion of people in China being less selfish and less likely to cheat the system is just absurd.
In the tune of $10k.

We also came to the same conclusion. Moreover, being an Indian startup, these dollar bills are burning a huge hole in our pocket :D
Personally, the 'free tiers' offered by the big PAAS and cloud providers are good enough for small projects and MVPs-- can't beat free. If and when extra resources are needed, it's usually easier to just start paying at that point rather than to switch platforms entirely.

Free tiers are are extremely effective (albeit crafty) in a "the-first-one-is-on-the-house" kinda way.
AWS, GCE and Azure solve problems that OVH, Hetzner, Online.net etc do not. For many businesses there is a lot of value here. Some of it is because the businesses do not spend that much on server hosting, some because the problems that AWS solves are very valuable.

If you do want to use a bare metal provider like OVH, keep in mind the differences from a service like EC2. You have physical disks. So you either need to implement network storage, or raid, to improve reliability and uptime, or make your software tolerant of data loss. Restoring a bare metal server from a backup has some considerations that a virtual server will not. You also have physical memory, cpus, nics, but in practice these do not fail often. Other areas of the infrastructure are less redundant or reliable because they are a budget provider. You do not have nearly as many physical locations to choose from.

A lot of older businesses are used to buying servers and collocating them instead of renting the whole server and could be saving a lot of money. Or businesses that insist that everything is on prem and never consider the whole cost of power, cooling, security, and connectivity. There are a lot of newer businesses that never really considered something like OVH because they started in AWS, and have only ever considered services like EC2 and competing VPS services, and not bare metal providers like OVH. You also have businesses that know that OVH etc is cheaper, but want to use some new thing for other reasons. It could be to improve their resume, or because this is what investors expect, or because this is what they think the companies that will eventually acquire them will want.
I partnered with a Youtube teacher to create my video-based German language learning app.

She has a unique format of asking native Germans topical questions on the street and mixing in some grammar videos. And she is seriously beloved by language learners here in Berlin! We can barely walk down the street with her and her husband being recognized:

I understand the risks you're talking about here, but it's not like OP will start working at Google and suddenly his technical skills will atrophy. It is still a very competitive place to get into and a place where great work takes place. Even if OP doesn't get extremely interesting projects, a more established company is often better in terms of mentorship. Not to mention the fact that financial stability as well as the job security of working at such a large company have their own benefits.

I think OP could work at Google and have a promising career start, while taking on the risk of working on slightly-less-interesting projects.

At the same time, OP could work at this startup and make a bucketload of money through equity while working on fascinating projects. But the work could also be boring API stitching. Or the hours could be really long, and OP might have no outside life.

They're both good options. But back to the point I was originally trying to make: it's not like OP is going to work at Google and then never get hired by a startup again. In fact, working at Google is such a positive signal on a resume that it might actually make it easier to work at startups in the future.

That is why I no host.

Unless the system is kept up to date automatically it's going to be vulnerable to something.

All the web applications also seem to be exposed to the Internet directly which makes things even more dangerous. They all seem to be running PHP, presumably under the same user, so it probably takes only one security hole to compromise the whole thing.
I chose a startup over a better Big Company offer (although no where near the difference in pay), and deeply regret it. Understandably the grass is always greener on the other side, etc., however here are a few things to consider:

1. Really stupid things can happen, even with established startups. We lost our 401k and may possibly lose our healthcare (although that is looking more promising) when our HR/Ops manager went on extended leave and their replacement is still struggling with the basics. This isn't due to a lack of funds, but rather the new person being disorganized and ignoring emails from Zenefits. When I joined we were a well oiled machine, but we were dependent on one person, and things fell apart quite quickly after they took leave.

2. People are still people. No matter how much say you have, your startup will make a bad hire, most likely many. This happens at all companies, but startups particularly struggle with finding decent candidates at early to mid stages. The difference is, that with a startup having a bad employee can make work significantly worse without any proper recourse. Even if you hire great people, you may find that the startup you joined is culturally different 6 months to a year later. Things change fast, and for many things go from great to awful within the span of 3 months.

3. When it comes to bad hires and politics, the most common complaint at large companies is that the only people who get promoted are those that are friends with the manager, etc. That is an issue no doubt, but at startups everyone is expected to be friends, and the role between boss and friend is even more blurred. We have a legitimately bad employee (caught her twice rebasing her PRs after reviews, so changes could not be tracked between commits, in which she responded to review comments by adding carriage returns so github showed that the code changed and therefore hid the comments), but there is no proper path to reporting this, and bringing up these issues are extremely taboo on my team, especially because she is now close friends with our boss (they meetup during vacations). Sure, this happens at large companies, but I cannot move teams or even refer to a standard to we can stop this from happening. Honestly, it hurts the most because the whole point of a startup is that you care about the product and team, so when this happens it just becomes a low paid job since you lose the culture of trust.

There is a lot of good that comes with startups, but I will be honest, unless you are starting your own, or are young and are looking to be best friends/party with your coworkers and make your job a lifestyle, it usually is not worth it.

edit I wanted to add one more point: The startup I was at previously gave me 1% of shares. Things were not working out well, and our CEO sold for an acquisition hire in which he made ~$1.5 million, and I would have made ~$36k after vesting for 3 more years. Literally, with the acquisition hire signing bonus and new salary, I would have made less than I do now from just switching jobs than if I stayed.
No, the start of the middle ages is traditionally set to the end of the Roman Empire, 476 AD.

The Middle Ages is in the "middle" of the Roman Empire and Modernity. It's further divided into "early", "middle", and "late" middle ages. People don't use "dark ages" any more, you want to say "early middle ages". And while we don't know as much about that period as about other periods, we do still know quite a bit.

The point being that with the fall of the Roman Empire and these roving bands of germanic tribes coming in from the east, as well as Arab invaders coming in from the south, ND Viking Invaders coming in from the North, you had full blown race wars being fought all across Europe. People needed to form protective associations, and this created feudalism. If there is anything that defines the middle ages, it is Feudalism, and its remarkably stable system of reciprocal obligations. The lord had to protect the people working the land from the hostile world outside, and in return, they paid rent. This created a patchwork of little city-states, manors, and fiefdoms which collectively pacified Europe by creating a common sense of identity ("Christendom") as well as deterring invaders since there was no great Prize to sack anymore, there were thousands of little Prizes each defended with their own little perimeter. Across this patchwork there were large informal networks of guilds, monastic orders, etc. This is not to say that there were no wars, but the wars were between nobility, they were not race wars, which is huge. Race wars tend to be gruesome wars of extermination or enslavement because you don't view the other side as being human. When the whole continent shared the same faith and followed similar customs, and was connected by the same set of monastic orders and guilds, you couldn't fight a race war anymore.
I can't find my TI-89 to compare but I have a TI-85 and TI-83 from the late 90s and the newer 83 has a noticably better screen so you're probably right. I recall being impressed by the TI-92's screen but I sold mine long ago so I have no basis for comparison.
Managing your own servers instead of managed services is hard! It requires admin skills in addition to dev skills on your team, gets seriously hard with increasing levels of security, makes planning and spikes much harder, ... but can also be highly rewarding in terms of costs, mastering your environment, optimization and dev quality, ...

The choice is mostly about how much time and will you have or plan to have on your team for it. You'll have to handle files and database replications, you'll have to update the systems (with reboots), you'll have to fix very tricky issues, ... that would have been handled otherwise.

OVH (and some others like Online.net) have great products with amazing pricings. I have seen a few startups relying on many of their (rather small) servers and it was all great.

One thing to remember is that human time costs much higher than cloud time.
> and it’s awful that so much of human activity results in life’s death and extinction

What you mean is nature not just humans. Life death cycle is natural thing.

World is full of beauty, but it is also full of suffering and pain, large portion of it not having to do anything with humans. Animals can starve in nature, get mutilated etc.

Nature is both sides of the coin, not just the pretty one.

As for what you eat, it’s very hard to scientifically prove what’s healthier for you. There are way too many outside factors that influence that. A lot of plants you buy in a shop are treated with chemicals in unhealthy way. Apple, carrots, tomatoes are all treated to ripe when they need to cos they are usually harvested before fully ripe.

And third thing, just cos you don’t need something doesn’t mean humans won’t do it, that’s, once again, in our nature.
