My use case is backup of photos that are taken from my phone. and of course finding a data organization strategy that I'm not forced to change every year due to whatever bad news comes out about such and such a vendor, such as this one.

I just saw the EXIM detail which is kind of a dealbreaker, in conjunction with the fact that google photos is yet another API they will probably keep messing with and changing in the future, and I instead upgraded my Dropbox account to 2TB (which wasn't really an option when I first started with google photos) and am using Autosync https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dr... to push my photos out as is (Dropbox's photo sync wants to rename the photos for no good reason). Just pushing out the raw data from the phone directly where I can grab it on my synology on the backend seems like the best approach. But it's only been about 45 minutes and there's plenty of time for something to blow up, maybe I'll be back.
I haven't had an account, ever. And don't use it.

CP/M is modular and incredibly low in requirements. You don't even need interrupts. All you need is more than about 16kB of RAM, mapped at 0x0000, and enough hardware for a console and disk. (Obviously the more the better. You won't get much done in 16kB.)

The command shell, the CCP, and the kernel, the BDOS, are completely platform independent. The only actual architecture-specific bit is the BIOS, which the rest of the system talks to via a set of very simple entry points. There's documentation here: http://www.gaby.de/cpm/manuals/archive/cpm22htm/ch6.htm#Sect...

That is, literally, it. There's a little subtlety in the warm boot / cold boot stuff (every time you exit to the shell CP/M literally reboots and loads itself off disk! But it's so quick you don't notice), and the 128-byte CP/M sector size is a total pain which requires buffering for modern hardware with 512-byte sectors, but it's all exceptionally well documented. If your system is simple enough, you can hack up a BIOS in an evening.

If you're not using a serial terminal you need to implement a terminal emulator in the BIOS, and deal with display memory etc. That can rapidly eat away your RAM, so having a banked system helps. The NC200 port divides the 128kB of RAM into two halves, one for userspace, and one for a 'supervisor' which does all the I/O. The BIOS is just a stub which calls the supervisor. There was loads left over in the supervisor address space so I added a massive disk buffer, allowing me to read and write complete tracks in a single disk revolution. It's really quick (for CP/M).
Might not be right for everyone, and it's certainly not the best thing for this, but it's cheeeeap and practical... I use AWS S3 for sending files to others. Basically no file size limits, and you just pay for what you actually use, which is typically less than a few bucks/month for me.
Sounds broken on user end. Never seen anything like this when using Dropbox on several versions of Windows and Ubuntu, on both low-end and high-end machines.
I get it don't worry. Maybe they'll do it later when it will be an obvious advantage for the company.
It probably sold out because of extremely limited stock though, not because of how high demand was...
There was no such world.

IP could be easily widened just by taking IP addresses to 64 bits, allocating some new protocol numbers for that, and keeping everything exactly the same. In applications, the same old quad dot notation would work textually: 0.0.0.0 to 65535.65535.65535.65535, the latter being the broadcast address and so on.

The IPv4 space could be embedded such that 1.2.3.4 is both an IPv4 address made of octets, and an "IPv5" made of four hexadecades. Gateways and protocol stacks could convert the packet formats on the fly: a wide packet with addresses whose four values are below 256 could be narrowed, and then received received by IPv4. An IPv4 packet could be widened to "IPv5".

No stupid "neighbor" protocol; just good old ARP, widended to 64 bit IP addresses.

Machines now have native integers that can hold a 64 bit IP address; great for all the masking operations in routing logic and whatnot.
YAGNI only works when the cost of being wrong is low. In most software, if you do end up needing something later, you can add it without too much trouble. In hardware, it means you need to spend a ton of money on redesign, and then wait years (or decades) for people to upgrade their equipment.

In hardware, if you can reasonably foresee the need for some feature in the future (where "future" could even be > 10 years), and adding it now doesn't blow out your cost budget, you should probably add it.
This comment breaks the site guidelines. There's no reason to assume that adinobro is commenting in bad faith. It's far more likely that he or she simply has a different background than you, and therefore a different view.

Meanwhile, insinuations of disinformation, ill intent, shillage, spying, foreign agents, and all the rest of it, poison the well of this community. It's a big problem. Please don't do it again, regardless of how strongly you feel about some issue or country.

ARP is also nice and abstract and well-defined; it can bridge from any multi-endpoint subnet's layer-2 address to an IP address. Not sure if anyone actually uses it for non-802, but the generality has forced a clean design.

To add to your praises of DHCP - it can also configure routers, and is in fact the standard solution for that in IPv6. Instead of giving you one or several addresses for NAT through DHCP, it gives the router an address for itself, and also a prefix to assign to clients on its internal network. Super neat stuff, and a boon to administrators.

Also to nitpick your summary, because nitpicking is what I do - layering violations are a thing, but only in the same way that violating software abstraction barriers are a thing. Not a hard-and-fast rule, and sometimes if you're doing weird enough stuff you just have to do it.

No prison for first defendant in college admissions bribery scandal
"“When we realized we didn't have a shot where all attendees were represented, we added in photos of two female CEOs taken during the weekend,” a spokesperson wrote to BuzzFeed News. “The photos were shared and approved with all the participants including the two women, Lynn Jurich and Ruzwana Bashir, before posting them on Instagram and they also shared the group photo on their own Instagram handles.”

The article also notes that other attendees not included in the photo declined to be photoshopped in. However, due to the gender ratio, the twittersphere were calling it a diversity shooping. Overall the news is fairly neutral and doesn't make judgements, and in fact says it makes no sense for a lifestyle magazine to be making diversity photoshops.

Car-camping is the nice way of saying "permanent homeless camps". The idea is that, if we didn't allow homeless camps to grow and spread, then it would be much more difficult to live without a permanent home in Seattle, and thus, you might move to somewhere else.

Car camping is intended to be as shown at [1]; no more than a few days, tidy, and not overflowing with garbage and sewage. These campers are here to do pre-game tailgate parties for the nearby stadium.

However, largely because Seattle doesn't enforce limits on car camping, that same street will soon look like [2]. This is a small permanent homeless camp that will remain at this location for months. The trash pile across the street will grow and attract vermin. Eventually, after weeks of health issues, sometimes fires and other illegality, the city will do a 'sweep'.

These sweeps are problematic on their own, since it is obviously dehumanizing to chase people out of their homes. They're also depressingly impermanent. The [1] location had been recently swept before the Google car came through. It already looks like [2].

I used Fastmail for a few years and liked it. I recently switched to ProtonMail and it is also very good. ProtonMail provides a ‘bridge’ that makes email on a laptop very convenient and I like their iOS client.

I still use gmail as a backup email, but I receive little email on it.

Anyway, if you are concerned with Fastmail and the Australian government, I think you would also like ProtonMail.
In the great-grandparent, you said:

Now you say:

That was a bit more than "a dislike of a certain test". If we hired you and you reacted that way to something you didn't like, that would be in "destroy the workplace" territory.

And it can be easily inferred that they were asked if it was OK to be put in the photo, and agreed.
It will be like red light cameras, where you just receive a ticket/bill in the mail, with a photo of proof of the date and time of the infraction.
Sure, but building a data center in a metropolis can be a lot more expensive than building it in a rural area because of other factors like higher land values, taxes, energy costs, etc.

The ocean freight for Shenzhen to Lagos probably costs 2-3x more than Shenzhen to Los Angeles, but ocean freight alone is still a tiny fraction of the total landed cost of the data center.
> The US has 500,000 homeless people. Let's say it would cost about $1,500 per month to provide them with basic lodging and basic needs.

I'll agree even for video games, single core performance matters a lot. Most workload that can use multiple cores are on the GPU. Whereas the main event loop will be single core constrained. Maybe AI. But Again AI should be on the GPU or dedicated chip.
There are different approaches here.

One approach includes both reward / consequence. In this model, things like theft, various forms of violence particularly in shelter or public housing violence, even taking over extremely large areas of public space (ie, 3-4 tents plus dogs plus...) results in consequences, while avoiding issues along the above lines results in rewards (ie, eligibility for service or additional service). In addition, these approaches tend to also consider impact on the non-homeless (ie, prison time linked arguably with a reduced risk of property crime)

Other models are focused primarily on making life as bearable as possible for the homeless - basically the straight service model. Under this model, resources are provided and consequences are reduced in the event to solve homelessness.

Some folks going through the tougher love systems (ie, jail vs rehab etc) say good things, other folks ask how can homelessness be criminalized and focus primarily on reducing risk of govt involvement (this can also save money in some cases - prison is expensive, rehab is expensive etc).

Aside from the fact that TLS client auth is currently a usability nightmare... well, it could be, but you'd be building that session-resume capability into a higher layer than would be ideal. Meaning that anything that isn't TLS would have to build their own session resumption system.

Conceptually, you want to push things as low in the stack as is feasible.
That's... literally the opposite of what "supports" means... It works with overclocked memory some of the time, but they don't promise that it will.

I think it's too easy to say it "makes no sense" when you have no skin in the game. If this HN post stays active for a while, it's likely that there will be a lot of "there is no excuse" and "shoulda just had more women lol"; which is probably why they tried shooping this to begin with. People would probably have criticized the image either way, even if this particular attempt to quell that is... clumsy.

This reminds me of a short story by Paul Ford from a few years back[1]:

We had gone to a baseball game at the beginning of the season. They had played a song on the public address system, and she sang along without permission. They used to factor that into ticket price—they still do if you pay extra or have a season pass—but now other companies handled the followup. And here was the video from that day, one of many tens of thousands simultaneously recorded from gun scanners on the stadium roof. In the video my daughter wore a cap and a blue T-shirt. I sat beside her, my arm over her shoulder, grinning. Her voice was clear and high; the ambient roar of the audience beyond us filtered down to static...

I told my waiting daughter to go ahead and pay the few dollars, just part of the latent cost of a ticket. She tapped and the tablet made its cash-register sound, and the video was irrevocably destroyed so that it could never again be shared.

You didn't really answer the question and honestly I don't think you entirely understand the proposition, but it doesn't really matter...

Honestly, I disagree with you. Putting k8s on tin is a fairly nice system that gives you much of the power of IaaS providers that you potentially don't need anymore. It makes it easy to create logical environments, allows packing of compute, and gives you standard APIs to develop against, allowing you to move providers, share platforms, etc.

Now I do agree, you shouldn't generally have services that restart constantly, but some of the biggest headaches I've came across is sysadmins and that assumed their systems will just work, and now they don't and it's a clusterfuck.

With regards to cheap, it doesn't cost any extra to get k8s as a managed service by google. It's fairly cheap to use on DO, and if you need to run it on tin, it's a damn sight easier than bootstrapping the underlying IaaS in my opinion, so frankly I don't think your rant represents reality.

Theres a lot of hackers in the industry that are new to running systems. I'd rather they use a framework than build bespoke, but that's me. And thus I ask again, what's better?
Pipelining means that each stage further down the pipeline is processing an "earlier" time window than the previous stage. They don't run concurrently to speed up one buffer, but they run concurrently to sustain the throughput while having more active filters.

For N stages, instead of having each filter run at 1/N duty cycle, waiting for their turn to run, they can all remain mostly active. As soon as they are done with one buffer, the next one from the previous pipeline stage is likely to be waiting for them. This can actually lower total latency and avoid dropouts because the next buffer can begin processing in the first stage as soon as the previous buffer has been released to the second stage.
Why would you stay for years in a company like that? It's so dysfunctional and toxic.

Yes, in a free society, it's my responsibility to be a ward against 0-days. This is the problem with unduly complex and / or closed source software and closed, proprietary hardware being in our pockets in the first place.

To paint over these problems by restraining basic, fundamental speech (ie, you can repeat anything you know to anyone, specific contracts notwithstanding) is throwing away the baby instead of the bathwater.
"the recordings of others will always be illegal because they violate the Fundamental Right to the Secrecy of Communications, established in Article 18.3 of the Spanish Constitution." [1]

A very mild punishment for 10 million instances of breaking their constitution. Since the law is equal for all, I can only assume an individual spying on conversations would be treated with similar clemency.

And despite what the league says, yes, it is spying. They listen in for some piece of data that they're curious about. That they discard irrelevant bits client-side doesn't change that.

I'm not sure if this is silly or not but why is it not possible to target cancer cells with a bunch of weak lasers distributed around a person pointing at the same location in 3d space and just selectively zapping them? We have real time MRIs and CT scans. Can't we just lie people with cancer down daily and shoot them with incredibly precise beams of light to cook the cancer cells alive? Maybe just cauterizing the blood pathways that are feeding tumors in the first place?

I'm seriously hoping someone can tell me why this idea is stupid.
Nope. CP/M was _not_ GPLd. Instead it got a custom license from Lineo which explicitly allows for it to be distributed by one site, and one site only: http://www.gaby.de/cpm/license.html
