I self-hosted a Nextcloud installation and used 2x 4TB drives. The first is full dedicated to the Nextcloud use while the second is rsync-ed to the first every night. Then I deleted my 8 years old Dropbox account. Currently my only cloud provider is iCloud just for the photos, contacts, iwhatever backup.

I think you are extrapolating too much from my words and jumping to conclusions I did not make, Especially regarding privileges. My main point was that libertarianism goes both ways, you can’t have live free ethos and do what you please but then expect to socialize the physical costs of the behavior without question.
Strongbox is the best one right now. It supports KDBX 4, while older minikeepass doesn't.

I've never heard anyone say that he was.
*>Be aware that the famous "tank man" was not actually run over. You can see the rest of the video if you look online.

I'm not sure how that is relevant and I believe the declassified material you are referring to was an NSA cable sent on the day of the event, when very little was known. Wikipedia has details on the various sources for anyone interested.

The Nanjing Massacre was a horrific incident and I would urge anyone visiting Nanjing to visit the memorial.

That said, one incident was a wartime civilian massacre from an invading army where that army has been defeated and is largely a different country now. The other was the killing of protesting civilians by their own government, which is still in power and broadly unchanged.

Given this, it's clear why one is more topical than the other
It is just different "class" of CPU power usage and cooling, not their actual Power usage. So if you have a 105W cooling system both CPU should be fine.

This is different to Intel's TDP which meant Typical Design Power, i.e Power usage when running in base frequency, in reality they run quite a lot higher.
Can't help with hangouts but I've been starting to play around with Helm (https://thehelm.com/). You self-host a little box at your home, it sets up TLS certs via LetsEncrypt and tunnels to an AWS frontend with a clean IP that ferries your data to/from your network.

All data is secured on your device. Bring your own domain, supports IMAP/CalDav/CardDav. So far, I'm a fan but I'm still battle testing it before I start moving in earnest.
From what I remember Thunderbolt is Intel proprietary even though at launch they said it will be open.

Does anyone know if that has changed?
I'd say requiring own citizens also makes it possible to play eenie meenie among a pool of candidates, to minimize the chance of spies slipping in.
Same boat here - I have a degree in Art, but fell into tech work and have been paying the bills with it for 25 years.

My answer is that I do side projects that build tools to help artists. I also do some basic woodworking and try to remember to unplug at the end of each day and make something.

At the end of the day, I find that I enjoy making my money working for someone else, and then letting my creative side be a hobby. So while I wish you the best in finding a new path, sometimes the answer can be as simple as accepting your day job for what it is, then living the rest of your life doing what you love.
AMD processors have so far been immune to all but one attack and in the previous gen processor the mitigation caused a 2% performance hit. This gen has specific hardware for mitigating these side channel effects so the numbers you're seeing are with the mitigations.
NYTimes says it was crickets.

Right, but whats the point if you can never learn about these different approaches and freely discuss them and improve them? I mean there could be two people in an apartment building in the valley banging their head on their desk over the same issue and they could never talk to each other about it due to NDA.

We all learn about collaborating and helping people with their issues——really just teaching each other, the best way to learn imo——with capstone projects in engineering schools, then we forget it all when we enter the workforce and sign our NDAs and suddenly gag ourselves from talking about our work to other people in the field.
Boost frequency is not related to TDP. Just because a processor says it can hit a maximum boost of 4.7 GHz doesn't mean it can do that with all cores active and stay within the TDP. It may not even be close. Base frequency is what is tied to TDP, hence the 300 MHz drop for the 16c model.
Zen2 has hardware mitigations so "the same".
That's actually what we do at Rakam. Postgresql fits in many analytics workloads with partitioned tables, parallel queries, and BRIN indexes. The only limitation is that since it's not horizontally scalable, your data must fit in one server. `it just works` up to ~10M events per month.

The SDKs provide ways to send the event data with the following format:

rakam.logEvent('pageview', {url: 'https://test.com'})

The event types and attributes are all dynamic. The API server automatically infers the attribute types from the JSON blob and creates the tables which correspond to event types and the columns which correspond to event attributes and inserts the data into that table. It also enriches the events with visitor information such as user agent, location, referrer, etc. The users just run the following SQL query:

SELECT url, count(*) from pageview where _city = 'New York' group by 1

All the project is open-source: https://github.com/rakam-io/rakam Would love to get some contribution!
AMD chip at 105w (and AMD give real tdp), while the Intel chip is at 185w (and Intel give tdp in non turbo mode).

Intel is currently getting absolutely destroyed on that front.
Fair enough, but could is enough to play on people's fears. Immigrant X could be a terrorist. Food additive Y could cause cancer. You can't then claim you didn't say "would".

Note that things like tobacco cancer warnings use use can/could not will/would, and the intent of the message is still clear.

After reading some of the comments here I decided to give the Google Backup & Sync client another go on my MacBook Pro. The CPU fan has been blowing at full speed for the last 15 minutes. It's still terrible, extremely resource-hungry and slow.
Do you have any sort of music player with you? My phone is basically my life's soundtrack - music, podcasts, or audiobooks.
The 2 smaller chiplets are for core complex, the memory controller is on the IO die(the other bigger one) that these 2 CCX share. So there is still one single memory controller, and hence, not NUMA.
Also to my understanding they don't touch the GSuite email accounts. There was actually someone here from the relevant Google team few months ago confirming that they go to great lengths to ensure that didn't happen. I can't dig up that particular comment though.
I feel like their needs to be a sanity check. Realistically what does kubernetes do to "not make software fail"? Health checks? Autorestarting containers that crash? Enforce various timeouts? Relatively quick distributed configuration deployments? These can be hard problems for sure, but do you need all of kubernetes to get these benefits in a production application?
Would rather see numbers on Cinebench, Video encoding, 7-zip...
Similarly, I’ve experienced some extremely skeptical looks when I sit down next to a stranger my age on the bus and ask “how’s it going”. Some people here are very business-oriented, I guess: it ends up being less socially awkward if I open with something that’s on the surface more selfish: if I’m on the window seat when a stranger sits next to me it’s “which stop are you?” ... and then “I’m getting off just before that - I better take the outer seat” or “perfect, I’m riding until <xyz>”. Now I’ve broken the ice, in a way that’s more acceptable for whatever reason, I’ve had a minimal amount of interaction to guess if they’d prefer to talk or be left alone, and if talk, we both have opportunities for conversation-starters (whatcha doing at <xyz>).

I don’t know what to think of it: maybe I just overthink these interactions. But it’s been disappointing for me to finally start taking the initiative to speak with strangers only to find that 3/4s of them want nothing to do with it.
Yes, a company of dropbox's size definitely has an iOS team (not 1 iOS developer). They absolutely have the resources to do this.

But I suppose you're right. Even true of Slack. It's totally a meme that Slack's electron client is horrendous and bloated, but it probably hasn't stopped their growth, so where's the incentive for them to improve it?

> going from 2 to 3 isn't that hard

That's true now, 6 months from EOL of Python 2, where all the common dependencies have upgraded, and there finally is agreement that Python 3 is the way forward.

That should have been true on the day Python 3 was released.
I'm pretty much in the Apple/Microsoft camp, but I've went with Amazon on the Echo side of things because their offering is more reliable (and more devices support it).

What I am getting at is that a lot of us probably make a concession here or there but as long as you're happy/comfortable with it, go for it.

The last vestige of Google I voluntarily find myself with is Gmail, but I have a strong feeling once Apple comes with these burner email forwarder things, I'm probably going to switch to Proton or something similar.
As soon as Shared Folder is released on iCloud, I'm moving everything out of Dropbox. I already pay for iCloud for my photos but have tons of unused space, that just makes more sense to consolidate, especially since Apple cares about optimizing for battery and CPU usage.
>Is your ISP pissing you off? Deal with it.

How could you possibly "deal" with having only one ISP available in your area, for instance? There's literally no margin for the user.

>The internet was born wild and grew up wild, and its great and becoming better

It grew up to become effectively chained and governed by a handful of giant corporations; let's be real here. While I'm not exactly the biggest proponent of state meddling in general terms, I'm all for protecting individuals from harmful practices.
It should be possible to build a DAT-capable browser for simple types of content (RST, MD, orgmode, etc); no HTML capability included. If you made it download media content instead of displaying it in-browser, it might even be simple enough to implement this without spending too much time chasing down security issues.

They also increased the price right? What I want is lower space and lower price.
Don't be fooled. Zuckerberg is the head of the organization and has both created and internalized the economic logic of his organization, but the problem is systemic. If you put in someone else, they'll have a different style and might do a few things slightly different, but the economic logic is the same. Spying on the population is profitable, so such operations must be expanded to the maximum possible extent.

We can't simply undertake anti-trust litigation against these companies. We must go further and outlaw this business model.
This is always a possibility. At least Apple has a business model based on selling devices and services. Unlike Google (or Facebook, for example), monetizing users / analytics / tracking isn't the only option available to them.

So you're right - Apple could always go down a bad path. But because of their respective business models, I'm more confident in Apple than Google.
People here are very critical of the US for similar things, too. I'm not sure what you're point is besides to try to derail the discussion?

If you’re making a Pareto Optimization, it’s reasonable to think that if the probability of being murdered by the state is still much lower than the probability of being murdered by an incompletely reformed criminal for each subset of the population, there’s an argument that every subset of the population was made better off.

I’d hate to overlook a 10x improvement for all because one group got a 2/10ths penalty and another got a 1/10th penalty. The alternative (to give one discriminated against group a penalty 50x worse and the lesser discriminated group a penalty 100x worse “because fairness demands it”) is worse, IMO.
What’s your acceptable number of innocent people imprisoned by the state, and if it’s greater than zero, then why?
AWS also has aarch64 instances (we use them for CI and simulations at my day job). It’s starting to look like Intel’s days are numbered.

Honestly I don’t see the problem, Facebook’s privacy stance has been well known for years. I don’t use their product much because of this, but friends and family couldn’t care less. Their response is that they don’t care if someone reads their messages or tailors ads to them and no matter how hard I try it won’t change their minds. If you don’t like their privacy stance just don’t use the product, it’s not like there aren’t alternatives.

The media outrage feels the same as if they came out and said that it turns out Coca Cola knew its products could lead to obesity. Of course they did, and no reasonable person thought it didn’t. You can’t police every problematic product, at some point the end user has to take responsibility.
Yes, their symlink handling is absurd, and they have the usual sanctimonious defense when questioned about this. To be fair, most commercial cloud services overthink this, and also get it wrong.

A symlink is just a file, like any other. It is a user's responsibility to insure that a symlink will work elsewhere; cloud services should just copy the file, just like any other. The users who expect a symlink to trick a cloud service into special behaviour (like syncing folders elsewhere) are also wrong. You no more want a cloud service going off and "thinking" about a symlink, than you wanting it going off and "thinking" about porn it finds on your computer. These are just files; their contents or meaning are absolutely not any cloud service's concern.

For example, a MacOS application bundle typically includes internal symlinks that most users are unaware even exist. Yes, DropBox breaks these, too. They tell you that their service is not intended for synchronizing entire file systems, as if properly handling an arbitrary file is somehow rocket science. I'll grant them that this is over their heads, but it's not hard.

There's exactly one sync program that gets it all right: Unison, written by Benjamin Pierce, a world-famous computer scientist. Yes, he actually thinks about this more clearly than any of the programmers of commercial services, and the best community ideas are adopted.

Unison handles symlinks properly.

Atomic directories are a relatively new feature in unison: One can declare a directory atomic, forcing the user to choose at the directory level when there’s a conflict.

I declare .git directories atomic. A better example: A MacOS .sparsebundle disk image file appears as many files (bands) inside a directory, but is intended to be seen by the user as an atomic file, not a directory. This has the advantage of more efficient backups: If one makes a minor change to a large mounted disk image (say, a few MB to a multiple GB disk image) then backup software isn’t forced to make a new copy of the entire multiple GB disk image.

If one makes minor changes to the same mounted disk image on two machines, and then does a two-way sync, one could buy the farm. Most likely, there will be a conflicting root file alerting one to the problem. Far cleaner to simply be forced to choose one disk image directory over the other. Functionally, the entire disk images are in conflict, not specific files within.

The ability to declare atomic directories is not a feature of any other two-way sync software, and it should be. A good heuristic: If a naive user can’t easily open a folder to reveal its contents (say, a Mac application bundle, or a sparse disk image) then the supporting directory should be treated as atomic by default.
My go-to v0 solution is JSON (simple, with no nested objects or lists) written to s3 (partitioned by date, see Hive date partitioning) and AWS Athena (serverless Presto) to do SQL queries on those JSONs. You can build the system in less than an hour, you don't have to manage any VMs and it's relatively easy to extend to a more serious solution (e.g. if you need major scale or Spark-like analytic jobs).

Relational databases like some are suggesting are fine, but you have to manage them unlike s3 + Athena and it tends to make you design around relational database concepts, which can make it difficult to migrate to a full-blown analytics solution that often abandons relational guarantees.

This solution also lets you be flexible in your raw data schema unlike relational databases where you have to have well defined schema or hacks like saving the raw JSON as a string.

When you need to evolve your data schema (you will as you learn what things you want to measure), a relational database requires you to be thoughtful about how to do this (e.g. you can't have your data producer writing a new schema before the table has been changed). Often this requires you to add some sort of queue between data producers and database so that you can make changes to the table without stopping the data producers. With s3 + Athena, you can just upgrade your data producer, it will start saving the new format to s3 and then you upgrade your Athena table definition whenever you want to start querying the new data (because in relational databases, the schema defines how data is stored, but in s3+Athena world, the schema just tells the SQL engine how to read whatever data exists on s3).
Essentially why we made a choice to go with Swarm - less features, although all the features we needed are there (restarting containers, scaling them up or down and across several machines).
This really hits the head of so many nails. Similar to you I think I grew up in deep north. Our generation can not subside in the economy of factories and Timber Mills.

Most of the jobs are seasonal and pretty much all of them directly or indirectly depend on money from greater Boston area. This applies to me as well.

From my perspective the resentment stemming from a northern way of life and values changed by influx of bostonians is understandable.

Most folks moving up from Massachusetts generally don't appreciate that.
So did the PRC run over its own citizens with tanks and shoot them with bullets, or not? Nobody brought up Tank Man except for you.

As far as I can tell, this announcement is _only_ referring to GSuite users (i.e, work accounts). Their rationale explicitly calls out "consumers" (i.e Gmail/personal accounts) as having a different use case. I don't believe it will apply to end users, unless you've got a personal GSuite account for your own custom domain.
I'm not sure it's the fact that it's walkable. London is very walkable but unless it's the last train home on a Thu/Fri/Sat night and everyone is very 'merry' then talking to strangers just does not go down well.

I'm relatively new to SF but find the random interactions here beneficial in much the same way with regards to personal growth, and they seem to happen all the time. In the UK it felt like you can't talk to strangers - here it feels like you can't _not_ talk to strangers.

So not sure if it's SF, California, or Americans in general, but it's refreshing for someone who is usually quite introverted.
The end of my first comment explains why I don't think that's good enough:
