It's most likely client-side stuff. Probably some crappy banking client, or an authentication client for some government websites, or something like that.

- raspi running pi-hole
- synology NAS for storage and backups, and it runs an Ubuntu VM for a wireguard vpn server
- for music, Volumio on a raspi as a server with snapcast; 4 other amped raspi’s with speakers in other parts of the house as clients, synced up via snapcast (check out hifiberry amp if you’re interested in this sort of thing)
- an older Mac mini now running an Ubuntu server with hassio virtualized. Lights, hvac, music controls, etc, controlled through hassio front end
- print server on a pi zero

(I guess these may not really be “self-hosted” since I don’t make them publically accessible through ports ... just vpn in to my home network)
But, even if you had done the static code analysis, you still would have been liable for any bugs that were missed. There is no level of diligence that would have released PG&E from liability.
Give OpenRCT2 a try.
I'm using Gotify for receiving push notifications on my phone for things where, in the bad old days, I might've used email. So things like: when my offsite backups complete, if my VPN goes down, on torrent add/complete events, and when motion is detected on my security cameras.

Huginn came into being because I wanted a way to republish some of my emails as an RSS feed that I could subscribe to with TT-RSS (e.g. Matt Levine's newsletter), and for that purpose alone it's justified its existence.

I've also used it as the plumbing that connects my various services to Gotify (Huginn makes a Webhook available and the event gets routed to Gotify). This is, admittedly, entirely unnecessary; I could just hit Gotify directly. But putting Huginn in the middle could give me some flexibility later... and it's there, so, why not use it? :)
While keeping the population well-fed, secure and with wages growing at 5% a year? Not possible.

The masses will beg for more oppression if you can keep that up.
Alsup is my favorite jurist. He's 74; may he preside forever.

The above quote benefits from a little more context. Alsup's point is that PG&E paid dividends while slashing the maintenance budget — and as a judge, he's willing to step in and say "that's not right".
On Firefox (Windows), the .hero-media::before element is disabling interaction with the video controls. Add pointer-events: none to the element to fix this.
We’ve heard rumours for a few years that Apple is considering shipping MacBooks which use the Ax ARM chips that power their phones and iPad pros. Those CPUs have excellent performance per watt, and decent performance overall. If they’re planning on repeating the Rosetta play that they pulled off during the PowerPC -> Intel transition, it might make a lot of sense to deprecate i386 applications first so there is less surface area they need to emulate. The x86 instruction set is way too complicated as it is without having architecture modes to worry about.
> - the margins for retail banking were wiped out a long time ago

In the US retail banking is a cash cow: most of the country does not have enough money in the bank which means customers periodically pay overdraft fees.

> - consumers have been used to free banking for decades (at least in the UK)

In the US most of consumer banks have a service fee, some as high as $15/mo.

> - the "legacy" competition are some of the most well captialised entities on the planet

Legacy competitors are carrying branches in the most expensive real estate markets in the world.

The problem of the upstarts is that they do not want to attack one issue and do what MCI did to AT&T ( pick one - lower overdraft fees/lower service charges/do not waste money on stuff (real estate), instead they want to completely destroy the business model by making banking free, wiping out overdraft fees and still wasting money on real estate ( headquarters/staff in the most overpriced cities etc ) and after that they wonder why they don't make money.

Here, a brilliant idea: take BoA fees, cut them in half, don't put everyone in San Francisco, issue debit cards and hire a pile of people in Ohio to do customer service a-la Discover. You will make money hand over fist and every time BOA matches your fees you make yours $0.05 less - MCI did it to AT&T and it cleaned Death Star's clock as long as it continued to do that non-sexy stuff.

I'm actually thinking in next 5-10 years we will have the likes of Capital One, Discover and Amex clean up on the banking side.
IMHO attribuiting actions to automated systems rather than their owners hides who's actually responsible. If we don't accept abusing power we shouldn't accept abusing power using AI either.
I got brought-out by an organisation who purchased me to fill a hole in their main software product. Their plan was to take my 800 clients, deprecate my software, and force everyone to move to their platform. Problem was a) my clients liked my software, b) their platform was 3x more expensive, c) their platform was a nightmare to configure.

I was tasked to sell their monstrosity and it was hell. To see the faces of my clients as they looked at this 'new' platform was very demoralising for all concerned. We ended up with about 20 clients who stayed and eventually the organisation just got out of the industry segment all together, and they gave me a redundancy package.
I was talking about "in a datacenter", but yes, you have almost zero elasticity with datacenter buildouts. You can get metered power but that can be a mixed bag since its usually more expensive per KWH.

Most companies that "move to the cloud" also make a lot of changes to the way they do things so they can scale/up down dynamically, thats not an insignificant cost in development time.

If you have a static load AWS is really expensive.

Also GPU's are still insanely bad to do in AWS/Azure.
Lets say you need the equivalent of 60 x p3.16xlarge for a whole year, thats well over a million USD a month. You're breakeven on month 3 in a datacenter even with all the overhead. Maybe some of that is my ability to get good deals, but even if you breakeven on month 4, thats crazytown.
It is a very interesting topic indeed. I plan to work on it after I finish my PhD thesis.

I believe that it’s literally one of the most overlooked parts of modern physics. We literally don’t know how to correctly and accurately calculate heavy atoms and molecules and include both special relativity AND electron correlation (and preferably also QED). Somehow most of the physicists left that problem behind and focused on nuclear and high energy physics.

I’m my opinion solving it, contrarily to focusing on abstract mathematical theories that are verifiable in energies beyond what humanity will be capable of in next 100 years or so, is truly one of the most challenging, yet verifiable problems of XXI century physics.

>Most notably, one's racial and gender identity are brought to the foreground as bar none the primary contributors to the outcomes an individual will encounter.

To be fair parental income is the best indicator of child income and those things you list are proxies for parental income. That said I do agree with your point, though I think market skepticism is largely a separate issue from forced multiculturalism and identity politics. The market is generally dysfunctional for the working class and people want to blame something for it. On the other side the dysfunction is blamed for different things.

This hurts me particularly as over-correction w.r.t race/social class has made it very hard to attend school despite good grades and extracurricular performance.
I don't :)

Right now I have public (read-only) and private buckets only, and I'm the only who writes into any of them.

Public buckets contain files I didn't even create myself and that friends might find useful (Windows ISO, movies, VirtualBox VMs...). Privates have, well, private data, and can only be accessed using my admin account's credentials.

IIRC MinIO has access control through users, but I'm still very new to MinIO to the point where I discover new features every time I use it.

If I were to give someone else their own buckets I'd probably run a second instance to keep things separate, though. I'm even considering running another one myself to keep private buckets only accessible from my home network... (right now the entire instance is reachable from WAN, regardless of whether they are public or not).
No, what just happened is PG&E was forced to cut power because it has for years prioritized dividends over it's safety obligations, not because there are places to which power cannot be safely delivered.

This isn't a can't be done safely problem, it's a private firm gambling to squeeze out more short-term profits and hoping it doesn't blow up in their face problem.
"It's easy to not get biased information"

"Not getting biased information" sums up the entire history of human development, but particularly these fields come to mind:

- Science and academic research

- Business management

- Military intelligence

- Government administration

- Artificial intelligence

- Jurisprudence

- Philosophy

- Journalism

- Statistics

- Psychology

I think the entirety of these fields is nontrivial.

"are you suggesting thorough censorship?"

Facebook is doing the censoring!! If they just showed you what your friends were posting in chronological order, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
We had a bizarre experience. Our acquisition was motivated by the value of our contracts and came with a number of earn out goals to ensure that management kept these going for a year. All of the money for the acquisition was held in escrow for this time period, with payouts at the end of the year.

Our executive management was very savvy and negotiated that the acquiring company couldn't interfere with our operations for the first year in any way that could threaten our meeting the earn out goals.

The net effect was just weird. In many ways, nothing really changed for a year. In other ways, everything kind of ground to a halt because there was no motivation to do anything and no new management to steer.

I left at the end of the year.

You can't just post a comment like that without mentioning what model/make the dishwasher is.
This is a good point. What is utility here? I think the primary utility is highly available electricity. How is that maximized? I don't know how to do that tactically, so I should stop talking... but strategically it's about minimizing risk. I suppose that involves having a highly connected grid to many power sources (solar, wind, nuclear, hydroelectric, etc) to mitigate a SPOF. It should also involve low risk transmission (underground where possible, multipath, etc). This all comes at a great cost... but if profit is important (or required for the CEO to keep his job), not all money goes to improving the system, but to lining pockets of investors. So yeah, there needs to be a plan, but the current plan is keep things working and yield dividends to shareholders.
I'm hoping that Rivian will create a more budget vehicle at some point down the line.
The post isn't talking about the drop method of the Drop trait, which is used to hook into the drop functionally.

It's talking instead about std::mem::drop, a standard library function that drops a value before it would ordinarily go out of scope.

> Google wants to infantilize the user, take away all choice, claim users can't make good decisions and then claim anything control they remove is for the user's benefit.

As a developer with 18 years experience, I am not sure I have the time to make good decisions. I am not going to audit the code of everything I install by reputation. An average user has no hope.

I think it's a syntax problem. ASCII doesn't have enough bracket characters to simply & clearly represent necessary language features. So it's harder for an intelligent human to sort and categorize these aspects.

Pre-generics Java is about the appropriate amount of language complexity for our current lingua franca

TextWrangler was always just a fork of BBEdit (it replaced “BBEdit Lite” as the free version) so there should be no real difference in performance.

BBEdit 12 also improved large file support so maybe give it another try if you haven’t recently?
By law PG&E can only make X from their utilities by state law, this regulation is audited and is pretty well documented.

The penalty & probation supervision for their felony convictions over the San Bruno fire, not the bankruptcy—both are PG&E cases in San Francisco.
I suggest Mozilla look at the last 6 months of bugs submitted and do some analysis on them.

Ideally take a subsample and talk to the submitters, and see what they think.

If Mozilla agree that Google do a better job than Mozilla, then benchmark against them.

I eventually stopped reporting bugs to Mozilla, Microsoft and Apple unless I absolutely had to. I recently stopped working with browsers, so I no longer have much appetite for helping.
It's less free than the US, but it's a lot more free than what it was before 1978. China's prosperity improved in direct correlation with adopting free market policies.

For another example, look at North vs South Korea. Same country, an arbitrary line drawn, one prospers the other doesn't. East and West Germany, same thing. North and South US before the Civil War, same thing.

Mercury is the only metal liquid in the room temperature. It behaves that way thanks to the relativistic effects i.e. things that happen when electrons move close to the speed of light.

Mercury’s place in periodic table is such that these effects are taken to the extreme due to its electron configuration.

Here is nice popular article with references that explain more: https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/relativity-behind-mercur...
my point was that the yazidis had smartphones, and there is plenty of footage. It has not become mainstream for some reason.

Heck, TODAY, the army of a nato member is slaughtering civilians in northern Syria in plain sight. There's ample footage of the killings and it is horrific (e.g. tanks marching over people, including women). It gets systematically banned from the main social sites.
“This Is CS50”: A Pleasant Way to Kick Off Your Data Science Education
The CA-Enron fiasco was not “deregulation”, it was “reregulation”. CA said that utilities could not purchase power on the futures market, but had to buy it on the spot market. Enron, by some strange coincidence, always had to take plants off line during peak hours, leading to high spot prices.

There’s nothing deregulated about forbidding futures contracts.
Managing CSV File in Powershell in a Nutshell
I find that on products that are mostly digital removing LEDs and speakers shouldn't cause an issue. However, some analog electronics may be designed with the LED as a current path. If this is the case perhaps you can replace it with a non light-emitting diode with similar Vf
There is a strong push for "fairness", see e.g. "Toronto Declaration". I think all it would do is completely halt progress of AI and install bureaucracy to the lowest decision levels, paralyzing whole ML research. Nobody seems to think that we are in a clash of different cultures with different sensitivities and there is no single common platform for stating what is "fair". I am worried the loudest voice would set the trend and we will have some insanity enforced all the way down. There are even calls to ban "blackbox" ML, basically allowing only trivial parts in any kind of decision making.

If members of my nation get drunk more often than some other, while it's offensive to say I am a 34% drunkard, on average it might hold; instead of forbidding this type of inference I'd rather rely on more signals to figure out what kind of person I am specifically for individualized decisions. They bypass this problem by adding "risky behavior" not contained in the input dataset so they just decide to model it as a hidden variable of Bayesian inference, where "risky behavior" might be correlated with ethnicity and red car anyway, just not visible outside. So if my nation is 34% drunkard but neighboring is only 11%, the conditional probability will likely be higher for my nation anyway, but obfuscated by the use of Bayesian hidden state. I am not sure why would that improve fairness.
Is there not a technical solution to this? A side effect here will be people creating their own power systems. I have already had my power go off 4 times this year and now I am looking at solar panels, batteries, and a natural gas generator.
Designing File Formats (2005)
I didn’t measure it unfortunately. It definitely didn’t stop everything, I could still hear a lot of stuff, but it just dulled it enough that it was easier to tune out.

I think most of the sound was actually echoing through the ductwork and leaking past gaps in the doors rather than going through party walls so if it was actually possible I’d try to get in there.

Ideally though, the soundproofing needs to happen in the room where the sound is happening rather than in your space. The building I’m in now reserves the right to require you to put rugs down if your neighbors complain. When I got a dog I put a bunch down so the downstairs neighbors didn’t have to deal with the constant patter of his feet.

I was pleasantly surprised when I walked out in front of my house the other day. When we bought it last year, in early spring, we had hoped the nearby small wooded area would block out some freeway noise once the leaves grew in, but it didn't help. Now there's a big new high school under construction between us and the freeway. That direction is almost entirely silent in the evening. We might not be so lucky when football games start next year, but that's better than constant engine braking sounds.
I think the two behaviors should be understood as arbitrary for illustrative purposes. The point is, as I understand it, that you can decide that one causal relationship exists and another does not, and derive a model consistent with that and with the observed statistics.

Because, as people give lip service to constantly, but never seem to really adhere to, correlation is different from causation.
Wow that’s very kind. I wish I had neighbors like you!

I'm looking at Rebus now and it looks tantalizingly difficult to work through. So simple, yet very subtle.
At home I have:

FreeBSD server running various things:

* Home Assistant, Node-RED, and some other home automation utilities running in a FreeBSD Jail.

* UniFi controller in a Debian VM.

* Pi-Hole in a CentOS VM.

* StrongSwan in a FreeBSD VM.

* ElasticSearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Grafana running in a Debian VM.

* PostgreSQL on bare metal.

* Nginx on bare metal, this acts as a front-end to all of my applications.

I also have:

* Blue Iris on a dedicated Windows box. This was a refurbished business desktop and works well, but my needs are starting to outgrow it.

* A QNAP NAS for general storage needs.

Future plans are always interesting, so in that vein here are my future plans:

Short term:

* Move my home automation stuff out of the FreeBSD Jail into a Linux VM. The entire Home Assistant ecosystem is fairly Linux-centric and even though it works on FreeBSD, it's more pain than I'd really like. Managing VMs is also somewhat easier than managing Jails, though I'm sure part of this is that I'm using ezjail instead of something more modern like iocage.

* Get Mayan-EDMS up and running. I hate paper files, this will be a good way to wrangle all of them. I've used it before, but didn't get too deep into it. This time I'm going all-in.

Medium term:

* Replace my older cameras with newer models.

* Possibly upgrade my Blue Iris machine to a more powerful refurbished one.

* Create a 'container VM', which will basically be a Linux VM used for me to learn about containers.

Long term:

* Replace my FreeBSD server with new hardware running a proper hypervisor (e.g., Proxmox, VMware ESXi). This plan is nebulous as what I have meets my needs, this is more about learning new tools and ways of doing things.

I didn't get life changing money but got good money. I like the new position, I've had some amazing opportunities. But it's high stress. The market segment is hot and the buyer is betting on us. It's great in the way a huge messy challenge is great. It's hard problems. For me, I got stock buyout from sale and on hire stock grant that I have to stay for some years to earn out. I plan to stay. Altogether maybe 700K. Maybe more. Not sure. I feel pretty good but it's intense. For our size startup it's hard to imagine how it could be better than this. Nothing is easy.
