How Crash Bandicoot Worked with just 2mb of RAM of the Playstation
I don't think that thinking about cloud computing in terms of nines is the correct way to frame the issue. cloud storage, maybe, but cloud gives you the cheap bricks you need to build the nines for your customers using replication, independent zones and clever routing.

now I wouldn't go as far as to say outages are the normal state of thing, but cloud trades high nines for cheap redundancy. a raid for compute, if you will, and as such a single zone deployment is going to have outages.

No problem & good luck. I'm definitely not a target user, but my mom is. The Electron aspect is a bit painful though manageable, but as long as she could literally download the .exe, and the basic functionality of the product was simple enough (click to open, paste URL, click to save; optionally click to specify some advanced option; no tracking or telemetry whatsoever), I'd happily install it for her. I already installed her a standalone console .exe + ffmpeg, but it's slightly too painful to use[0].

EDIT: Also consider auto-updates for your application; it would be best if it could update its youtube-dl dependency independently from the app itself. I don't like auto-updates too much (especially when they're forced), but as others point out, youtube-dl and YouTube are in a state of cold war; YouTube downloads tend to magically break every couple of weeks now, which requires users to update the youtube-dl script.

This was before webcam support was mainstream in browsers. Capturing stills from ultrasound is in many legacy systems still done with a TV capture card and the really old legacy cards don't even use any standard API but carry their own driver so you can't use them as a webcam but need the vendor app.

Nice article.

Of course if you get some of the benefits of run time specialization, you also get some of the downside, i.e., overspecialization.

The heuristics to know when to stop specializing is a really hard part of those kind of systems.

“Greed for meat” could be easily replaced by better diets with more varied nutritional sources. Brasil is a country still emerging from backbreaking poverty, my family is from there and my mother would walk with no shoes 1 or 2 hours (I forget how much) to school every day.

The western idea that we should all go vegan is actually in many ways a position of privilege - you can afford to go vegan or vegetarian because you have tasted meat, had enough of it, then decided to do something different. For a poorer person meat consumption is often the sign that they’ve “made it” in life because meat is so often considered a “weekend” or once-a-month meal. In Brazil ie lots of poorer people eat a diet that’s very focused on rice and beans.

To be fair Brazilian feijoada is delicious. But it always a mark on how wealthy you are in Brasil how much MEAT there is in your feijoada. I remember it clearly when my aunts and uncles would make me feijoada with lots of meat in it because coming from Portugal, where my family emigrated to, they felt like I should get a “richer” meal. They would often put so much meat! But it was their attempt to look “wealthy” to our European eyes, and to make me feel at home.

Bolsonaro, the current neofascist president for which I have no love for, said one thing: “if the gringo wants the Amazon he will have to pay for it”

And in that instance I can’t disagree with him. I am sick and tired of western pubs attacking poorer people for not living the way they would like them to live.
This is a book I recommend to everyone. I could not put it down. Also, I think it is essential to living in the current "fake it till you make it" culture. That books shows no matter how well educated you are, you are still human that can be swayed to do things you don't agree with to a certain extent, even when your gut is telling you "No, this is wrong".

The only way that would be the case is if you ignore the evidence that makes the current situation untentable in a way that no other prior instance of history has been.

Both vote count and age influence the order of comments, which means that the stuff you've already read may appear below stuff you haven't read yet.

If you use the feature at all, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want collapsed comments to be in sync across devices.
The first thing that came to mind reading some of these comments was Bill Pullman's speech from Independence Day:

"We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

To just roll over and say "Meh, screw life and the very instinct of overcoming adversity to survive under any conditions, I'll just concede defeat instead.".....you described it accurately: pathetic.

> Also extremely intrusive urban planning

I agree partly.

In most European cities there is a lot of planning and regulations to follow. Barcelona Example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eixample) is an example of 19th-century planning.

In most Europe, you can't build a tall building in a rural town, a skyscraper without the proper open space around it or a factory in a residential neighbourhood. But, those rules have been more sensible to the city needs and have had less pressure from car makers. Old towns are usually compact and easy to walk because they predate cars. Cities have very good public transportation systems as cars were too expensive for most of the population. Living in the city centre has been seen as a luxury. At least for me, "suburvio" (a suburb in Spanish) has always had a negative connotation. Nobody wanted to live in the outskirts of a city.

So, I agree that American cities are, in general, poorly designed. And public transportation is almost nonexistent. The problem is not urban planning but that the cities are designed for cars, not for humans. Carmakers had too much power for too long. Urban planning worked really well to achieve its goal: to sell more cars.
The grandparent comment doesn't claim Tesla is unique for making "expensive, multi-ton, high speed vehicles that can seriously maim or kill their occupants." It claims Tesla is unique for approaching that age old problem with a "fast-paced, startup-like business environment."

Put another way, is it appropriate to "move fast and break things" when human life is on the line?
Who is freaking out about their burn rate? Do you know their burn rate for Q2? Q1 had logistical problems which reduced deliveries made, Q2 is going to look good in comparison.
My hope is that we can be kind and decent to other people even in moments of stress. Take two very different example comments:

"This is a frustrating outage for us, a huge part of the attraction in Google Cloud has been the premise that we get the underlying reliability of Google's infrastructure. If we'd known what the reliability of Google in practice this year would look like, we might have stayed with AWS."

and

"Why are the stupid SRE's at Google even paid such absurd numbers if they can't even go a whole month without multiple hours of downtime."

Criticizing companies is find, just please remember there are real people there.

"Kind and Decent" doesn't seem like a high bar.
If "please be kind and decent" is too much of an ask, I pray we never work together.
In Arthur Hailey's novel Wheels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheels_(novel) , about the auto industry, an executive at a fictional US car company suggests building a very homely city car. When others criticize its looks, he says that if it's inexpensive and practical, people won't care.

I agree in a big way here, I have no particular speciality with autonomous driving but I have seen enough media coverage of Musk both snubbing Lidar based systems and then Tesla auto-pilot hitting overhanging rear loads, which a lidar would seem to help with if not completely fix.

His aversion to Lidar seems to have more to do with the cost implications on a vehicle that doesn't have a lot of room to raise the price or cut into the margins.
We are not fundamentally giving anything up if we reduce our energy usage.

All the stuff on the hierarchy of needs - love, accomplishment, community, knowledge, none of it is especially energy intensive. Food and housing are, somewhat, but it's pretty clear that the pendulum in that area has swung too far in the other direction (obesity/mcmansions, etc.)

I think you're right and we'll be just fine. We'll just use less stuff. And stuff will generally be more energy efficient.
This is a cool idea, but I bet that modern cpu cache effects would counteract, to some extent, the gains from a synthesis kernel.
I can understand this perspective but even voluntary censorship seems so contrary to some of the aspects of literature that make it compelling, chief among those its capacity to help expose yourself to different modes of thought.

Ironically GRRM specifically mentioned that he doesn't write "comfort fiction".
If anything gets adopted it either needs to be from a group of big players (think: Libra) or in a decentralized way with a consortium (blockchain + 2 major browsers). Would love to see it happen, but having a startup run it just won’t surmount the needed push to make it a standard.

People who are absolutely ignorant and incapable of learning aren't who I'm talking about. Most people can learn to change a turn signal bulb.

And no, running a static webserver will not cause vulnerabilities. Again, like in my prior comment, that only happens when you use some complex combination of webserver, database, and scripting language. A static webserver is significantly more secure than opening up a page in your browser with javascript enabled.
Recorded, not extrapolated.
If there’s a different deployment that could have worked, then the one that did go wasn’t the “best”. Critique should be around the 5 whys the actual best wasn’t selected for.

You make a good point though. Downtime seems to be awfully overloaded.

During that AWS outage I was training people on [enterprise software] as part of the certification portion of [enterprise software company annual conference].

Nobody really wanted to be [enterprise software]-certified, but it was a way to get their employers to pay for them to go to the conference with cool talks and perks and such.

We delayed the training most of the day, and couldn't say it was AWS' fault because they were sitting in the audience, waiting to get certified.

People were about to riot, that was not a fun day.
I think it promotes FT's content as one of the few subscribeware products FT produces that isn't sealed away behind FT's paywall.

..and with no ability to communicate with that brain in a jar, we'd have no idea what's going on inside of it. We could be putting it in hell and never know. It could be like the movie Waking Life, eternal dreaming without ever being able to wake up.

Surely that's a factor, but habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity are also very important, and are directly related to the loss of bees.

Killing "the disease vector" doesn't heal the root problem, which is rampant, culturally and economically endorsed destruction of ecological diversity and the environments that foster it. This is happening on multiple fronts, climate change being one of them.

I agree with the poster who advocated chickens and possums... except that I'd go much further than just chickens and possums. We also need to dramatically rethink the way development happens. And further incentivize land rehabilitation and polyculture farming methods such as permaculture.

> If we’re wrong about climate change, we will have constructed these global, top-down structures that will stamp out what little autonomy and freedom people have left.

We are right about climate change. Full stop. People who consider that not to be the case are lacking in information, because there are literally dozens of independent lines of evidence that back the conclusion and that have been used to model the current state of the climate.

There is no skepticism in denying the current state of climate science.

The top-down structures are in place anyway because there's a ton of other political forces at play. Climate change policies introduce the same degree of cooperation as most international agreements on a myriad of things do already.

It is an intellectually dishonest point, focusing on this extremely narrow aspect of policy while disregarding the last 30 years of global cooperation frameworks.

Teleological Arguments for God’s Existence
It’s almost always been like that. The surveillance 25 years ago were grannies and aunties on the first floor of buildings keeping track of who comes and goes. Gates were already installed at many living compounds, so the guards too could easily see who comes and goes. Read about the danwei system, which essentially monitored everyone’s movements and indeed life path from birth until death. Not as high tech as now, but the control and surveillance has always been there. This is probably why the escalation has occurred without too much fuss from the general populace.
