'cold storage'

It's going to be logs data, backups, and users original uploaded data (rather than reencoded versions) that they hope will be valuable one day.
The Vimalin Windows product was released today and is intended to help VMware Workstation users with being able to manage backups of their virtual machines. There are plenty of backup products for the VMware enterprise products, but none that specifically target the VMware desktop range.

Note that there's both a free and a paid tier of the product ( https://www.vimalin.com/documentation/free-versus-paid/ ).

If you have any questions about Vimalin, then do let me know as I will be happy to answer your questions.
It is interesting point to bring up but nonetheless discount pricing is not out of question.

It is possible that while GCP gives a good value based on the writing on the tin, someone else might beat that with a good margin under special terms.

That being said, I have reasons to think very few could beat Google on compute or storage game and definitely much harder to beat the big G on Networking side of things.

Is it perhaps time to return to using external tools such as Privoxy, Pi-Hole and the like? Privoxy appears to still be around, and (I think) was originally at the forefront of user-managed web controls.

Once the browser reaches its natural Borg-self, transparent user-level tools will be all that provide a semblance of control. Well that, and Firefox.
>By sending bits, the interface changes and you aren't really burdened with UI navigation or UI mechanics like touch, drag, etc. Something like a phone would take on more roles that are currently filled by desktops and laptops right now.

You still need some kind of interface; like if I'm visualizing a picture and the computer can read it? even if you can do it, that's gonna require a lot of bits.

My point here is that having a direct brain interface still requires some sort of... interface, and you probably need a lot of bandwidth before the interface becomes better than... hands, at least for people who still have control over their hands. A low bit-rate direct brain output would be super useful for paralyzed people.

As an example for data in the other direction, cochlear hearing aids are absolutely amazing. But from what I understand? they are quite a bit worse than the ears most of us were born with. They are a long way from being an augment that people with already functional ears are likely to want.

I do think it's worthwhile to come up with new input/output methods; personally, I'd be super happy to shave my head and wear an EEG headset almost all the time, if it gave me output that was significantly faster and with less thought than typing. Heck, you might even get me on portability, if it's just better than a cellphone keyboard.

I'm just saying that there's no reason that a low bit-rate direct brain interface would be any more intuitive than fingers... I've been using my fingers for an awful long time, and to get me to switch to something else, I'm gonna need a better bit rate.
We'll see how long it lasts.

A Better Way to Develop Node.js with Docker
A long time ago on some German computer show, they showed a flight sim hacker who basically made his own immersive cockpit. He had a camera rigged to his screen, right where the attitude indicator was, and this controlled servo motors who elevated parts of the platform he was sitting on. Mind you, that was way before Arduinos etc.
That was from 2017 1v1 bot. OpenAI Five apparently learned it on its own. From: https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/

> Creep blocking can be learned from scratch. For 1v1, we learned creep blocking using traditional RL with a “creep block” reward. One of our team members left a 2v2 model training when he went on vacation (proposing to his now wife!), intending to see how much longer training would boost performance. To his surprise, the model had learned to creep block without any special guidance or reward.
thanks for the write-up! I see, there’s some minor problems with my 480s related to power, it seems that and more got worse. I can’t justify the price and lack of thunderbolt of Surface Book tbh. I’d switch back to Macbooks the moment they’d become reasonable about ports and keyboards again - who knows, maybe it’s going to happen when looking at the new Mac mini.

In any case I find it really annoying how things are going in PC-land. Around 2010 wasn’t just peak Mac, but peak everything it seems to me. Ubuntu 10, Windows 7, macOS 10.6(?), SSDs, fast and reliable I/O, it all came together. Maybe you can count till 2012 with Retina, but I’ve yet to wait for a machine with Hi-DPI that has both reliable hardware (GPU) AND software (i.e. without terrible scaling issues, especially when also connecting external screens).
I'm imagining a bemusing hypothetical scenario where every night before you go to bed you could plug in your finger into a finger-shaped magnetizer, as if you were charging a phone or something.

FWIW I’m not a big cloud fan, but I was tasked with the obligation of finding the “least worst” cloud provider in terms of predictable throughout and total cost (inc dev/ops time) and GCP came out as a clear winner despite heavy financial incentives from both Azure and AWS. (We’re a very large corp).

Due to our new allegiance to google cloud I’ve been given a little more privileged access to engineers (after the fact) and I can tell that I definitely made the right choice, the people I spoke to favoured having a clean/clear backend with actual quality of life features; but since they don’t go nicely into feature comparison charts people often think that GCP is less mature or featureful.

I’m a real convert, and our company uses all three of the big cloud providers in some fashion- but my team only deals with GCP and we’ve had the least headaches.

What I’m trying to say is: you guys are doing great. I’m really happy with the product for my use-cases.
Neither 'frog' nor 'kiwi' are racist [1]:

racism
1 Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against
someone of a different race based on the belief that one's
own race is superior.

This abuse of the word better stop soon or people will start wearing T-shirts with 'racist and proud of it' in sheer frustration from being called 'racist' at the drop of a hat.

Agreed, The garage sale, family heirloom sellers were quite a gem.

FWIW the appeals process is awful. I've been scammed a few times as a seller when individuals cited inaccurate description after receiving the product (mismatch). In reality there were no inaccuracies just a buyer who wanted something for free or didn't actually read the product specs and was mad. I've been pretty much done as a seller since 2010.
nodeJS uses Chromium and not Gecko. I suspect MS’s requirements basically necessitated the use of Chromium.

However, this does provide an opening for MS edge, if MS forks Chromium for Edge and excludes user hostile “features” such as this.
Is that really relevant? I'd be happy if you could point me to a more capable tool. Zoho and Excel Online have never really made it onto my radar, but if they perform better in this situation I'd check them out. A lot of people are tied to the constraints they have.

Using both for years, Chrome has just been faster and more reliable. I don't do web dev professionally, but I use multiple browsers in tandem and often try to use one full time every once in awhile. On my old laptop, I'm pretty sure Chrome was the only one to support webGL for whatever reason. At work we're stuck with Firefox 38.3.0 ESR (Cent6/7) and Prometheus Alert Manager (and I also believe Prometheus graphing interface) has broken widgets, but Chrome works. Chrome has always seemed to better support the very few websites that require crazy performance. This was even the case when we would have an ancient version of Chrome and a new version of Firefox. It sucked when Firefox switched plugin architecture and Google Hangouts never added support. Now Google Meet does not support Safari.

I'm not saying any of these comparisons are "fair" but its what I deal with day-to-day.

It's remarkable how many people admit guilt in their last words. The only thing I find more remarkable is how many imply or outright say they were sentenced for crimes they didn't commit.
They'd just start tracking that info on the server side (while still requiring opt-out per-device), and then we'd have to make the extension copy your session cookie between opted-out devices, and then they'd come up with a way to counter that...

Ask HN: Do users give up privacy due to lack of care or due to lack of option?

Most of you already know the privacy implications this type of metadata has. I'm simply not willing to give them access, at least not on my main device.

I think a good understanding of the mentality of the crowd regarding this topic is also pretty important from a developers perspective.

So this got me wondering, don't users care at all about that stuff?
Is it because they don't understand the tradeoffs?
Is it because they understand the tradeoffs but don't care?
Or are they forced into it like I am?

My wife is pretty much the most conscientious / hardworking person I've ever seen, and despite all the abuse, it's hard to get her to quit. She feels quitting because of workplace conditions is like giving up, a personal failing for not persevering. That first job I mentioned got her near mental breaking point before she quit, and it took us two years to undo the damage. It got better the next time around, but she still needed an excuse to not feel like quitting because it's too hard.

> The first thing I’d look at as the boss of a large company is a) department sickness rates, b) department turnover rates

Oh, yes. If one of her bosses did that, he might discover that there's a high turnover rate + pretty negative opinion of the workplace in the region now, caused by one particular manager that's verbally abusive. But employees don't dare complain, because he and the boss are family. They just transfer or quit.

> Paid advertising might test if your solution works for a very specific user, but it doesn’t tell you that the unit economics will work at scale.

Paid channels like Facebook & Google have incredibly diverse audiences with any number of sub-populations you can target, and there's nothing special about organic traffic that inherently makes it unbiased and special.

> In contrast, the customer acquisition cost is zero for organic channels.

It just seems free because you can't measure the effects of other channels on direct and branded search (unless you're not doing any paid) or your accountant got creative and put the social media, PR, influencer, and affiliate spend in "Brand Marketing" so it doesn't count towards your customer acquisition cost under "Paid Marketing". You're spending money one way or another regardless of where you're putting it in the books.

> Instead, embrace the hustle and find ways to sell, distribute, and persuade without cash

Your time is money, and is probably worth more than the ad spend you're trying to get out of. Burning cash on salary while you try to hunt down "free" customers can be misleadingly expensive.

Free traffic is great, and I'd like to get as much of it as possible, but it's very hard to build a business on something you have little direct influence over.
Before that. When the U.S. ambassador conspired with U.S. citizens in Hawaii to overthrow the existing monarchy.[1]

It is easy to understand.

Vulkan is stuck on C API levels, requires an expertise level that many devs aren't willing to deep dive into, it is an extension fest, with Android and GNU/Linux being the major deployment targets.

On Android it is actually an optional API since version 7, so an OEM can even release an Android 9 device without Vulkan support if they so wish and the version fragmentation is all over the board.

Nintendo also has their own API, NVN.

"But there are countless other examples of people being conquered too, all over the world, and not just by Europeans."

An example of the relatively rare Tu Quoque logical fallacy in the wild! Or maybe you weren't arguing that it was okay because non Europeans did it, in which case it's more of a red herring.

"There is no justification needed, other than that's what humans did back then. It was a much more primitive and brutal example of survival of the fittest. And as much as it offends our sensibilities now, it is the very path that leads us to where we find ourselves today."

And yet people wrote extensively about their justifications for such behavior back then, and there were those whose sensibilities were offended in the past. For example, this 1550 debate on native captivity and rights, "http://digital.lib.lehigh.edu/trial/justification/newspain/e...

Here's more about Las Casas's defense of native rights, "https://www.thoughtco.com/bartolome-de-las-casas-2136332"

If the question could be considered in the 1500's, I see no reason why we can't talk about it now.

"We can struggle to be more just and compassionate with each other today, but our ancestors lived in a very different and harsh reality. It's not pretty, but it was a reality for a lot longer than this brief period we're living in now."

Compassion and justice aren't some new innovation from this century, but have been a concern of human beings for millennia in a variety of cultures. As well, the idea that we are morally superior to the past, in my personal view, a recipe for moral turpitude, and cultural torpor. It suggests that things are all good now.

Anyway, I feel like papering over the past by saying that we were primitive brutes is a little rich, given that that was the very justification used by so many Europeans for enslavement and genocide; that is, that the civilizing influence of their culture was needed.
It's adenosine blocker not inhibitor, so you're producing more adenosine while under caffeine than without, it just doesn't work. That what kicks in after withdrawal.
The good news are, it's not going to kill you, so going cold turkey is ok. Of course, you can also reduce your intake gradually. Try switching to decaf for after dinner coffees, this would be the first step.

”the state at some later time is just very sensitive to the initial conditions”

I am sure it has zero impact in practice, but theoretically, there’s a random component that isn’t part of the initial conditions.

Our current understanding of radioactive decay is that it is 100% random, and that the law of conservation of momentum also holds at quantum scale. If so, radio-active decay that emits a particle that escapes from an orbit around the meteor (relatively easy, given the lack of atmosphere and low mass of the meteor) has a (minute) random effect on the velocity vector of the remaining larger part.

Because individual decay events are uncorrelated, adding up all the effects of radio-active decay over time will make the already extremely tiny effect a lot smaller (by the square root of the number of decays, if I’m not mistaken, but there may the timing of decays gives earlier decays a larger effect on the eventual course, so it may be slightly less dramatic).

That’s why I doubt it has any practical impact.
The threat of nuclear war precipitated the development of a network which could withstand widespread destruction. That's not the same as genocide (as that implies something systematic), but is does seem safe to say that having the Internet (or at least got started having one) is more or less a direct consequence of developing nuclear weapons. I'm not saying such weapons (or the destruction they were designed to create) were a good thing, but war (or the threat thereof) has been a large driving force of tech development (not to mention advances in surgery/medicine).
I disabled the ad-blocker on a Liverpool Echo page because I wanted to watch the video. 421 cookies and one reboot later I was able to watch the advert before the video and then the 50 second video clip.

I presume that the 421 cookies are tracking something, only a hundred or so go to the Liverpool Echo, the others go to 20 or so other places. Nonetheless there are not many people reading local papers online, it is too much effort wading through the junk that gets downloaded. 6 megabytes to display 15 sentences and a video embed is a bit much.

In the olden days the newspapers were read by many people. Nowadays the newspaper readers are 'read' by many people. It has gone back to front.

How often does anyone here see a link to a newspaper and think to jump straight to the comments in order to see if the article is worth reading? For me this does not happen if the link is to a blog or other site likely to be sensible with the inline spam.

The sooner this ad-spam business dies off the better.
