Vultr AND Linode.

1) Upload a custom ISO with ZFS (https://github.com/beren12/zfs-iso/)

2) Create a new VPS without OS and boot to your uploaded ISO.

3) Create a ZFS root pool and bootstrap your Debian or another distribution.

4) Enable all cool features: compression, encryption, etc.

5) rsync your zfs snapshots from Vultr to Linode and vice-versa.

This is how I do. You can even use them as templates for newly VPS.

And for backups, BackBlaze B2 and WASABI with a zfs-snapshot-upload script.
It seems like Purism has a pretty decent user-benevolent smartphone in the works. If most services are available via website, it may be clunky but it'd work.

And many public services are offering APIs, so I can imagine their app store getting a pretty decent range of clients before long.
I find it incredible that modern reCAPTCHA exists and is legal.

Aside from the the obviously concerning censorship that happens if you try to access reCAPTCHA-locked sites over Tor, it is literally forcing internet users to do free labour for Google so that can train their AI for whatever project they're doing.

So not only is it a tax on using the internet (paid in seconds to minutes of human existence each time -- I bet reCAPTCHA has collectively cost humanity thousands of lifetimes of wasted effort solving stupid puzzles) and it creates censorship, it also is an act of charity on our part that we provide Google free work with no benefit for ourselves. Given that they literally pay people to do (something similar to) what we are doing for free, I wonder it there are labour law arguments to be made (we aren't paid anything for this work which Google clearly is willing to employ people to do).

At least part of the behaviour shown in the video depends on factors like cookies, IP address, and whether you have features like anti-fingerprinting protection turned on. [1]

Recaptcha is frustrating and I dislike it, especially the slow fade-ins and multiple challenges, but if you repeat the test shown in the video you won't find it 100% repeatable just because you're using Firefox.

Follow up note for enterprise folks who are terrified -

OpenSSL has been deprecated on macOS since 10.7 and we’re at 10.14 and it’s still present, so “deprecated” doesn’t at all guarantee “goes away immediately”, at the very least.

But the writing on the wall will be relevant to purchasing processes, so I’m glad they openly said so. Good luck!

Looks great, and it's a bonus that this is written in go since our services are written in go. I have to try this out.
Granted, but maybe the most curious thing about it is less the outcome than the mechanism -- there's apparently not an aggregately negotiated process that's market-like for arriving at the schedule for an organization.

I suppose I can imagine that perhaps at some point maybe there was a diversity of choices, and perhaps some critical plurality settled around 9-5 external facing availability, and once that happened, others that did the same had an inter-firm communication efficiency advantage, leading to wide adoption, but that's a just-so story rather than a studied opinion. Anyone know the actual history?

And that's a more macro scale. Internally, one presumes that either:

* It doesn't occur to most management to think about different ways of doing scheduling at all

* They've thought about it and it seems that the cost of aggregating an adaptive schedule is larger than the cost of dictating one (especially if most of the latter costs can truly be externalized!)

* Real day-to-day and career incentives for management reward 9-5 schedules

That's an extension of the Copenhagen heavy rail line within the city. Obviously that's more expensive than building infrastructure out in the suburbs--Silver Spring, my point of comparison, is a suburb of D.C. I was talking about the Greater Copenhagen Light Rail: https://www.intelligenttransport.com/transport-articles/1426....

Although, I should note that the cost for building 10 miles of new track entirely underground beneath Copenhagen is less than what it cost DC to extend the Silver Line the same distance entirely above-ground through low-density suburbs along a pre-existing right of way.
Thanks for that. Changing to www.recaptcha.net right now!

Could be a while before I get enquiries from China but there is only one way to find out.

I think what most people don't realize is that you don't need a good captcha to stop most abuse. Even the crappiest of captchas will stop 95% of the bots out there. Unless your site is a high value target, you don't really need a great captcha.

TurboTax itself is a dumpster fire, too. I recommend doing taxes on paper just to avoid touching Intuit or Google in any way.
No, it doesn't help distinguish the two, because this check can be easily circumvented by adding a small, random delay.

To reiterate: the primary goal seems to be slowing down bots.
I believe you can provide something important to some people there, but I don't think you're selling it well. You say that those are your big differentiators, but they're basically buried on your site.

Landing on the page, the first things I see are "FAST" with numbers that are several times slower than what people expect and "$" with prices that are higher. And then I have to scroll down and find the fourth bullet point below the fold beneath the not very interesting "just internet" and the damning "we can't give you service without direct line of sight".

The general public looking for an ISP is price sensitive enough that they will know the price landscape of your competitors, so they will know that fios costs less for higher speeds. Your market is going to be exclusively people who don't want to give Verizon or Comcast their business.

To me personally, highlighting the things that you don't excel at (speed/price) instead of the ones you do (not being comcast/verizon) make it look like you don't know your competition and you aren't pitching directly to your primary market, which isn't a great signal.

We also have no way of knowing that Verizon and Comcast aren't your backend, which means that, for all anyone knows, giving you money is giving them money.

This is the lamp https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079YBGPM5. The important aspect of it is to have it within 12 inches of your face when using it, but not directly in your eyes (can mess with your eyes). I usually have mine in front of my keyboard, tilted up, so the majority of the light is coming in from the bottom of my eyes.

As far as melatonin, I have to point out that I edited my post to say 500mcg (0.5mg) not 500mg. I've done some reading that the light doses work very well http://news.mit.edu/2005/melatonin. I haven't really tinkered with the dosage much, because the dosage I started with seems to work well.

The last thing I will say is that keeping a log is important. I've never been one to keep logs for things, but I knew if I was going to fix this problem and make it a habit, I needed to stick to it rigidly for a month. That's what it took for the habit to form, and I'm glad I did it. Best of luck!
Dijkstra appears to have thought otherwise: "I worked at the time at the Department of Mathematics of the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, and told at that conference that the official academic title our graduates earned was 'Mathematical Engineer', and most of the Americans began to laugh, because for them it sounded as a contradiction in terms, mathematics being sophisticated and unpractical, engineering being straightforward and practical."[1]

Before quibbling, note I said he was trained as a Mathematical Engineer, not that he had a degree in Mathematical Engineering.

Bootstrapping Your Software Product – A Technical Perspective
Absolutely. Maybe I should have noted that this is more of a guide to make your existing backup procedures more redundant, which implies that you already have local "backups" being made of whatever you want to redundantly store in S3 or B2 or anywhere externally.

In that case, it does become as simple as just copying files elsewhere. (For example, using the Restic steps in my post to backup a folder of hourly database dumps, like you mentioned.) Replicating databases (and other methods made specifically for DBs) is certainly a much, much better route for mission-critical and/or enterprise data.

Covering every permutation of different types of data to backup would have made a long post much longer, but I'll add writing a part two to my to-do list covering rudimentary database backups since that has been brought up here a few times.

Thanks for the feedback! :)
Interesting that they added the code (random noise) to the data rather than multiply (XOR). I assume this was safe to do since averaging won’t recover much signal when the signal rate and code rate are the same.

Also interesting that the basement in that department store went down 200 feet. Was this to get a good foundation? The link does not say.
Even in 1992, that was way more expensive than the equivalent 386 PC with a better monitor. A laser printer was definitely not the norm.

But the Mac Pro wasn’t meant for your average developer. I doubt very many consumers would buy this at all. It’s aimed at businesses and professionals where a $6000 outlay is nothing. Do you really think after 2 years and building up an internal team of “pro users”, Apple didn’t design this product for its target market?

Apple didn’t say they were “listening to developers”. They said they were listening to pro users. Are developers a subset of that? Yes. Have a lot of high end developers gravitated toward the iMac Pro and high end iMacs? Yes.

If geeks were expecting Apple to
cater to lower end needs, they haven’t been following Apple for the last two decades.

They aren’t asking ordinary users to shell out six grand. They even made the Mac Mini much more of a midrange computer than it was before.
They don't for good reason. Full body scans always turn up unexplained growths which need to be biopsied, causing pain/suffering/complications often resulting in a non-cancerous result.

Even the wealthiest individuals with personal doctors rarely perform full body scans for that reason.
> and adequately train and support career teachers

I always love the 'teachers' pay discussions and argument. While there are many teachers that are dedicated and do a great job there are also many who go into it for the (at one point not sure if it's true everywhere still) guaranteed retirement money and summers off. Also if a career doesn't pay enough for whatever lifestyle you want or place you want to live perhaps you can give thought to either relocating somewhere else or before you pick that career (for whatever reason) what the pay and benefits are for your choice. For sure not everyone is in a position to do this but my guess is most don't even give that thought. Meaning for example they decide to become a teacher in a very expensive place (NYC let's say) and then even at $90k per year can't afford to lead a decent life style. They could probably move 60 miles west from NYC (to say rural Pennsylvania) and earn less and have a better life. But then they wouldn't be in NYC, right? And they've decided
they have to be there. As any immigrant who has left their family and the familiarity of a foreign country would tell you sometimes you have to relocate somewhere else if it's not good where you are.

> so that people are not forced to work 60+ hours per week at irregular hours plus commute time etc

You'd have to look at the total picture of how they are spending their money though.

>I'm pretty sure you are right now paying a lot more money to companies doing a lot less efforts Mozilla is currently doing. And now you are asking even more of them

Examples, please. I'm not sure that I am, except perhaps in places where I don't have a lot of choice (e.g., my ISP). If your examples include things like Spotify, I don't use online music services. If your examples include things like Office 365, I sure as hell don't subscribe to that.
>Humble Bundle, in particular

Funny you should mention that, I actually wrote an email to support asking them to have frickin mercy with the google captchas. The response was as you expect "we do this for safety and protection, yada yada" which to be fair, I obviously didn't expect them to change anything, although I hope it did help raise some awareness.

The interesting thing I got out of it was that they mentioned that google captcha for logging in is disabled so long as you have 2FA activated on your account, which certainly helped, at least a little bit. You do still have to use the captcha to buy anything from the bundle (at least if you're using something like paypal, anyway).
GCM/FCM will delay low priority notifications, in order to batch as many together as possible.

On top of that, the cell networks don't allow keeping a socket open for more than a few minutes without sending keepalive packets. Unlike on desktop, keeping a socket open isn't "free" on mobile.

Waking up the cell radio has a significant penalty on battery life.

Sure, until you need to add a new breakpoint
It’s disgusting how little freedom there is in this area. Even if a doctor wanted to do this for you, they would face criticism from their peers. It’s a form of doublespeak when the messaging is “early detection is key” but you can’t actually use the best tools available until you are sick. The response that people could over react on marginal cases and do more harm if they scan early is incidental- if they scanned more healthy people they would learn how to deal with marginal cases better. I think your only hope is randomly becoming friends with a doctor who self experiments and thinks you are trust worthy enough to let in on it. I don’t even know how possible that is because the drugs administered are probably well controlled, and the machines might be logging information which makes it hard to do privately. Perhaps this is a good candidate for a medical tourist resort start up.
While it's not really possible to do this in your own background service any more, GCM still supports this use case. This is the deprioritization the grand parent is talking about. If there's already a notification showing you won't get instant follow up responses. It's a compromise to be sure but if you want to break that compromise you have to make a foreground service.
Costs get passed on to buyers and eventually to consumers. They might get diluted along the way but they do get passed on.
Attempting to catch allocation failures is the stupidest feature of C++ and the main reason that people turn off exceptions in that language.
Driverless Congestion
Synthesizing Datalog Programs Using Numerical Relaxation
That is true. However, if I sign up for a service, for example TransferWise, then later, signing into the account, I get a Google Captcha, now I am engaged in a relationship/data share with Google and if I don’t agree, I lose access to my account. When I signed up, I didn’t have “you must help train Google AI” as a condition of use.
Out of the app you mentioned only Intuit products, TurboTax specifically asks for bank account password. The rest just use account number is ACH for verification.
The Iatrogenic risk is too high. CT and MRIs have false positives or reveal benign tumors/conditions that have to be investigated which result in additional testing, surgery etc... So in the absence of symptoms or known genetics / family history it is just not done. But fear not, in the next 20 years we will likely have blood based tests for finding some early cancers though.

You should ask yourself why do you want to get checked for cancer.
A CT scan involves some radiation exposure so it would be unethical for a doctor to order one unless you're at high risk of cancer or have some other symptoms.
I really hope there is a Paid Mozilla email service in there somewhere. That's what will get me to instantly sign up.

I personally would consider notifications and the ability to run in the background to be essential but there's a better test which is the reason that this exception exists in the first place.

From copyleft.org:

> The system library exception is designed to allow copylefted software to link with these libraries when prohibition of that linking would hurt software freedom more than it would hurt proprietary software.

This is really the core of it -- who is hurt more by disallowing this linking: Google or FOSS apps?
The difference being, that all app subscriptions and payments made on device are forced to use Apple payments as a supplier. The fact that Netflix is diverse enough allow an independent web payment option is a red herring, because there are many iOS apps that are not. Consumers are forced to use Apple payments by Apple.
Interesting topic with many things to say about, but wrong content. The point is that in most C programs, it is not worth to handle OOM errors, because what you can do during OOM is of very little value, on the other hand handling OOM correctly is very hard. However you can't do this in libraries, because you don't know how the library is going to be used. So for instance in order to make my Radix tree library resistant to OOM failures, I had to write a specific fuzzy test that used a malloc failing with a given probability, and check if the tree is sane after some stress-work with such malloc. In general the complexity of handling OOM in complex programs that deal with complex data structures is not often recognized.
Isn’t that what cron is for?
my first question too. Steve Black's updateHostesFile.py is extensible and can be automated and is well trusted and gets tested by a large community. I don't want to sound critical but would like to understand the value add in comparison. Both are in python as well so I don't get it
Off track according to who's opinion? Likely google maps...

Perhaps any write can fail, and if one does then it triggers some code which frees some pre-reserved space which allows the interpreter to continue, and properly unwind the stack.

A replica isn't necessarily a backup, if the problem isn't a dead server but a missing WHERE clause in your DELETE query, a replica probably won't save you.

For Postgres you can use something like WAL-E to continuously backup to S3 or other cloud storage providers. The underlying mechanism is explained in the Postgres documentation as "Continuous Archiving and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)"(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/continuous-archiving.html). Using this method you lose a minimal amount of live data when your main server goes down. And if you need to restore, you can also restore at an arbitrary point of time, so e.g. just before you accidentally deleted everything in a table or something like that.
