Okay fine, I'll run the numbers... There is indeed a substantial price premium for this platform:

1 vCPU /hr on Cloud Run clocks in at $0.0864/hr compared to $0.0331/hr on VMs with custom CPU or $0.0316/hr for predefined.

1 GB /hr on Cloud Run is $0.009 compared to $0.00094 for Custom RAM or $0.00089 for predefined.

I can assume you can also forget about sustained use discounts.

I would imagine the costs of resources to deliver hot-start performance is significant, but this makes the case for the service a lot weaker, especially for long-running jobs that could just be tossed on a preemptible VM for dramatically cheaper rates.

Isn’t the issue with vegetable oils the omega-6 fatty acids? IIRC, our diets are supposed to be somewhere between 1:1 and 2:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio since omega-6 is inflammatory and omega-3 is anti-inflammatory. If you over-consume either, you’ll be unhealthy. So vegetable oils aren’t completely bad, but when over-consumed without the corresponding omega-3 consumption, you get inflammation and a lot of the modern maladies.

And it’s not all vegetable oils that contain omega-6, so using olive oil, coconut oil and a few others should be fine and healthier than cooking with animal fats.

ok, let’s play out your scenario: so now you need to buy two houses in two different towns so you get two different ISPs and running your server on two different power substations (since you’re no longer building that resilience in at the server room level). That is still going to cost you way way way more than deploying something on AWS in a multi a-z or multi region. And you still haven’t addressed the issue of secure out-of-band management.

The only benefit with your solution is that the second home is at least an capital asset; but even still, it’s more than any small or medium sized company would be willing to stump up (I say this from experience since I’ve worked on disaster recovery solutions for SMBs in the pre-cloud computing era)
How would you rephrase this then? IMHO the words were chosen correctly, because it doesn't blindly say "App is safe, go on". No, it explicitly states that it was checked by Apple and it is considered safe by Apple. It doesn't mean you should fully trust it by default.
From what I understand, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but Bitmain _does_ make money by mining, but they do it by using their own next-generation hardware to mine before making it available for sale, which spikes the difficulty and then they sell it off when the profitability drops.

Manufacturing mining ASICs and running your own mining operations seems like it has these big inherent conflicts of interest to me.
BTC harms "poor" newscomers who think they will get rich/richer overnight.

So instead the media told that it's a revolution with blockchain, they should tell people that: BTC is also a game, a trading game, keep yourself at risk before pouring your money into it.
Interesting story, at the end it culminates into an ad for the website. It should be noted that people who are media-famous are often miserable and it looks like his roommate was silently suffering.

While on vacation with my extended family I found myself somewhat socially excluded from everyone else as they could share photos via airdrop. I provided the group a shared Google Photos album and a few pictures were uploaded, but not as many as they shared directly. I also have trouble receiving SMS messages with Vcard attachments from iPhone users.

One other point, I ran a major outdoor event this weekend and rented iPads for square transactions. There was no question in my mind that we would rent iPads instead of Android tablets. Why? Because all of our ticketing people we're already familiar with the platform.

Android and iOS platforms are not yet interchangeable from a user experience perspective, and I think that's what drives the kids to the iPhone. It's what everyone else has and if I have one, I'm fully interoperable.

From an energy-consumption standpoint, I'm not too surprised at this. They have better uses for their mostly-non-renewable power generation. This will probably continue the push towards bitcoin mining in places with stable renewables (like hydro and geothermal).

That being said, I just found https://www.coindesk.com/norway-ends-power-tax-subsidy-for-b..., which makes me wonder if current prices would be able to support mining there. Also, at least part of Washington State is interested: https://www.bendbulletin.com/business/6853387-151/central-wa...

It is interesting to see some of Gauss's side quests during his life and the scope of his interests.

I remember reading that Gauss's (and his contemporaries') foray into statistics was greatly motivated by the central limit theorem. Every now and then one sees a question about least squares, asking why we don't usually use least cubes. [1]

Abel said of Gauss: "He is like the fox who erases his tracks in the sand with his tail."

[1] In such a discussion, if we are lucky to have a healthy discusion, we see references such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%E2%80%93Markov_theorem.
That isn’t true. They do a lot of mining themselves. Their trouble toward end of 2018 was in part because they had so much bitcoin cash on their balance sheet made from mining on their own rigs.
That was a pretty entertaining read. And technically an ad for flip, but I’m not mad - I think it’s low key hilarious that they’re sharing roommate horror stories to sell their product. That’s ingenious.

Absolutely agree. I do actually run a server in my house for personal services however the difference between running personal infrastructure and running a service for paying customers is night and day. You may not need your own data centres ala Google but that doesn’t mean the only other option is running everything on a PC stashed away in your closet.

In fact the very advantage of cloud computing is you can scale your infrastructure to meet your demand (and I don’t just mean auto-scaling; but also the instance sizes you run and infrastructure you deploy). Which is the point I was making in my previous post: you can build the infrastructure which suits your problem and let the cloud provider deal with many of the “enterprisey” problems for you. Then when you reach the point where you need to start worrying about the big problems, well you can decide how you want to design your solutions there after.

Whether right or wrong, when I see "platform" the primary thing I think of is Android. Whereas "application" is more well defined.

Personally of course I am aware that Google is engaged in extremely aggressive tracking and data harvesting on both. But if I was an otherwise uninformed consumer I would not expect my operating system to be harvesting and exfiltrating private information about myself and my behaviors for Google's commercial gain. By contrast, that behavior is more expected of applications/apps. It's even indirectly demonstrated in app permissions, which users are in many cases required to allow.
Thought the same. A 6 hour drive to search for an apartment is totally doable for a potentially $30k+ lease.

That's not how dependencies are discovered in cmake. Dependencies are added with calls to find_package, and if you have to include dependencies that don't install their cmake or even pkconfig module then you add your own Find<dependency>.cmake file to the project to search for it, set targets, and perform sanity checks.

Stepping back a few feet to get a bit of perspective, it does seem like the OP is using the most common developer machine in history. Devs are historically Mac people, and are afraid of newer ones, so they hoard the 2015 MBP.

It would seem that if a developer OS was going to work correctly on any machine, ever, that would be the one, since an issue there would bug the largest possible group of people who were capable of doing something about it.

But it doesn’t. I think he has a valid point.

It makes sense to me. They believe their control is an important part of the country’s economic development. They’re willing to sacrifice the environment when they believe the benefits outweigh the concerns, but they trust their own plans more than that of individual actors. Not saying it’s right, but it’s consistent with their outlook on politics and government.

I am sorry, I am not buying this. You entered a 2 year contract with a person that you 've never met. That lives already there but only your name is on the lease. And who is around 20 years old but does plastic surgery to look like a teenager. (is that even a thing?)

And you know what? Screw it. Showing kids videos of pandas eating cucumbers and asking them to be like the pandas, is an ingenious use of narcissism to achieve what parents collectively wasted more energy than north korea's nuclear program ever did. Convincing their kids to eat vegetables.

EDIT: I 'll contribute a story of my own.

A friend of mine is a photographer in Bay area and LA. Since the past few years he only works with instagram models, predominantly asian girls. I spent some time hanging out with him and two models that are also good friends. The first you notice is that... they are completely unremarkable. Shocking right? They didn't treat the waitress bad, and I was never ignored mid sentence in favor of checking instagram notifications. At least no more than a person with a 2-digit follower count would.
And didn't experience a crazy fast do coke and club 6 nights per week culture. Quite the opposite actually, I witnessed the "I 'll take a picture with this drink, and drink only half of it because it has too many calories". I think the most "vapid" thing I witnessed was them being VERY jealous of another influencer who managed to get the "blue verified" icon. That's it. Don't get me wrong, they were kinda shallow, but not magnitudes more than people with no following, that's the thing! I think we love to hate them because they are treated as if they achieved some high-status with no effort. Sure. But we are forgetting that what is projected on social media is total fabrication. Both of them are off instagram now, since they got married (to well-off dudes). Was that an end goal? Was it gold digging? True love? None of my business actually.
Try Lily's Chocolate. It's incredible and has very good ingredients. They have dark or sweeter versions and are sweetened with stevia & erythritol.
They are definitely mining. Just announced they are going to be deploying another $80 million worth of equipment [0].

Best part is that they are well known to take an order and payment from a customer and then ship out machines they've been using themselves for the last few months. I've gotten machines from them that were definitely used equipment. They say that they do 'testing' with them first as an excuse.

Ok so now we are beholden to whatever political powers that are south of us (or our friendly neighbor to the east "accidentally" cutting the sea cable). For now it is a bunch of friendly EU countries but putting the lives our citizens in their hands doesn't sound that nice. Freezing to death during winter if power gets cut for more then a day or two is a very real possibility in huge parts of the country as we have moved from oil/gas to electric heating.

You realize this is like the US saying "lets give money to Mexico to build all of our solar power there (it is closer to the equator and thus would provide more even output throughout the year and would make more econimical sense) and just rely on them selling it to us forever at a nice price as they are a friendly country at this very moment". Or even better would be the countries further south and build a sea cable on international waters so anyone with a sub can go and cut it to fuck with you,

From a national security perspective relying on such a vital resource as electricity on someone else is just plain stupid. I realize most countries are in such a relationship with oil/gas countries at the very moment but I think the goal should be to lessen this kind of relationships not increase them.
>Tin whiskers has nothing to do with it.

This is not accurate. Tin whiskers are a well-known problem resulting from pure tin coatings (although the mechanism is not well understood) and lead has historically been added to mitigate their growth (among other benefits).

From Wikipedia:

"Traditionally, lead was added to slow down whisker growth in tin-based solders." [0]

From NASA:

"No single mitigation technique provides effective protection against whisker formation except the addition of 3% or more of Pb by weight" [1]

"Suggestions for Reducing Risk of Tin Whisker Induced Failures...1. Avoid the use of PURE TIN plated components if possible...Alloys of tin and lead are generally considered to be acceptable where the alloy contains a minimum of 3% lead by weight...Although some experimenters have reported whisker growth from tin-lead alloys, such whiskers have also been reported to be dramatically smaller than those from pure tin plated surfaces and are believed to sufficiently small so as not to pose a significant risk for the geometries of today's microelectronics."

> The interesting side effect might be that we'll see Zig not just work with C code but Zig work with Jai with D with Rust. All of that code can still interface with C or C++ code (in both directions)

That already works, not a hypothetical. I can write, right now, a zig function, call it from rust, slap the whole thing into a library and wrap it with d. It hasn't taken the world by storm because these languages provide support the system c abi and calling convention, but do not embrace it. If I write a fancy templated function in zig, d, or rust, the name mangling, type-information, templating, maybe even call conventions -- are all different. This is why I have been and continue to be disappointed that things like COM or the jvm or cli aren't more popular, because they actually work that way. I can write, right now a clojure function, call it from java and then pass it into kotlin. Effortlessly, it's just an import away. Sure there are, for example, stdlib conflicts in scala but overall it's a much more frictionless experience. The problem? COM is windows-specific, jvm and cli are managed runtimes and people don't like managed runtimes.

Another place I look for a solution is racket, but again it wants to manage too much of the runtime to be practical. What zig is doing with the build system is great, the fact that the build script is actually a fully customizable script means it has a much better chance of taking off, but until I can import a jai module from d and call it in zig, we're gonna have problems.

EDIT: something which possibly almost could have had a good chance of pulling this off is llvm. Except that llvm comes too late in the compilation process to be used to resolve imports and symbols. Something like libclang, maybe, except not specific to c and c++.
This is basically a repeat of SEO.

At first, you have the early adopters. Things grow organically and it doesn't feel like a zero-sum game because there aren't many players.

Next comes the growth phase, where more people get involved, and start competing for attention/clicks/votes/whatever points system.

Next comes the exploiters, who discover weaknesses in the system and take advantage of them. They tend to make a lot of money because there's not much competition in this niche.

Next comes the crossover, where the exploit knowledge becomes public, and everyone now must do it because everyone else is.

Next comes the shutout, where the company running things starts actively punishing bad actors, but by this time, being a bad actor is essential to survival, so people do it anyway. It becomes a game of cat-and-mouse, new exploits, new mitigations.

Eventually, the company manages to fix their algorithms enough that the exploits don't offer decent marginal returns anymore, and it returns to what the company originally intended: 1% of people are successful, 99% of people make next to nothing, and the company makes shitloads.

And then the new big thing comes out. The old system goes into decline and the new system starts to take over. Rinse and repeat.

I think it's a totally reasonable question because there lots of nonsense out there.

I keep it simple. The heuristic I use for sweets is, if a child would cry for it in a supermarket, then I can't have it.

I've been losing ~1 kg a week since I cut out sweets like this 3 weeks ago.
Was at 81kg, slightly overweight for my sex/age/height, now at ~78kg.

So no candy, chocolate, biscuits, cookies, potato chips, cake, cordial, fruit juice, soda, milkshakes including "breakfast shakes" which aren't actually food, even if you want to believe they are like I did. Also dessert versions of real food, like flavored, sweetened yogurt.

I still have takeaways once or twice a week and still drink alcohol if I feel like it.

My main cravings are soda and candy, so I have some sugar-free alternatives I use to satiate that.
