No I meant the 90’s. Solaris was the top platform for dotcom startups in the 90’s. By 2001-2002 the dotcom crash had happened. By the time the “interesting stuff” you mention were added, Solaris was waning in popularity.

No, those are a whole separate thing that I wouldn't expect DDG to match the quality of. It's primarily been software development related queries.

For example, a few days ago I searched for "react dnd expected to find a valid target" on Google, and the first result is a GitHub issue describing the issue. All the results on the first page are related to the react-dnd library. The first result for the same query on DDG is an article titled "11 Prison Truths, Revealed By A Female Guard". None of the results on the first page are programming related.

This did not hold up well, imo. Not sure how to count it but by some lists this is stuff like: Tencent, Alibaba, Amazon, Netflix, Priceline, Baidu, Salesforce.com, JD.com.

Others would include Uber/Lyft, Airbnb, GitHub, ...

There are only a few that would qualify that I can think of - Instagram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp.

If folks here have other examples or thoughts on why this does or doesn't hold true would love to hear them.
Something does not make sense here. The main cost savings seem to come from using fewer servers. Why could you simply not do this on Azure or GCP or AWS? Are the advantages coming from leveraging bare metal servers? I'm a little confused.
This is purely a theoretical question. Think virtual machine but in FPGA terms.

Could a meta FPGA, an FPGA that runs on top of an FPGA, be created in an HDL language? Why or why not?

Yes, if it worked, it would probably be much slower and less functional than the original FPGA, and would serve no commercial purpose.

But theoretically, could it be done? Why or why not?

Stack's problem, was and still is, it doesn't do a good job helping new users learn how to use the site.

When it first came out, the state of programming questions on the web was abysmal. The top answers were wrong, and required you to register to view. There were forum posts, and half the answers were basically "RTFM". In my early days, it was things like "How do you convert a string to an int in C++" asked on Usenet. This was asked so many times that Marshall Cline wrote an FAQ which became the defacto place to learn about C++.

Stack solved that problem, AND fixed the issue of low-quality questions and answers.

These days, I find the answer to my question on Stack such that I rarely have to ask anything. Occasionally I'll be bored and answer a question.

Stack is still an amazing resource, just that the community and platform has matured, and there are less opportunities for new users to ask and answer basic questions.

Perhaps head over to Meta and suggest a Minor League Stackoverflow that will allow new users to ask the same basic questions over an over again, earn a fraction of rep, and graduate to the real site.
I'm tempted to switch to it, since it's remarkably similar to the Gallant font (a.k.a. sun12x22 / gallant12x22) I use on my OpenBSD and Linux virtual consoles. I tried using Gallant directly, but apparently Linux console fonts don't map cleanly to X11 bitmap fonts and it caused issues that I didn't feel like troubleshooting.

I have recently talked with a friend about a very cheap way to egress from AWS, at $2.5 per TB with the AWS lightsail $5 instance which include 2TB of egress per instance. This friend have extracted 200TB of backups for $500 instead of $17,000!
I use OneNote on KDE Neon in a Windows 10 virtualbox. Yes, it's not the most efficient but I have found this approach much faster than using the sluggish web UI for OneNote. I also use my Windows 10 virtualbox for the rest of the MS Office suite through a university subscription, so I feel it justifies the 30GB of disk space it takes.
That last part sounds like an argument for. If not for the benefits he got from the union, the very last claim wouldn't have happened, and the second to last claim might not have been possible.
This went by on HN a week or so ago: https://www.gwern.net/Timing I tend to agree, the problem isn't seeing what's coming exactly (though that is non-trivial). The problem is the timing.

I have read the comments, I wouldn't be so sure.

I absolutely do not believe this part, but I'm willing to dismiss this as confusion on the users end.

However, the rest of the comments by the user accurately describe how google account suspensions work. The same user had also created some rather reasonable issues before this one.
To me, free will implies choice. I don't see how non-determinism is equivalent to choice. I can see it as necessary but not sufficient. I do not see how the "free will theorem" shows that elementary particles are choosing their spin. It seems that they mean free will differently than I do.
I was confused by the “Standard Amazon S3 storage and request pricing applies.” That seems to be a different thing from the extra S3 transfer costs.
"I think AWS's billing is probably already on the falling side of diminishing marginal returns. That is, it's complex enough that more information would tend to hinder customers from getting the best price. Right now, if I plan to reduce my data charges, I have one variable to tinker with."

No, it's two variables - the egress charges you refer to and the actual cost to store the data.

We[1] have found that it is, as you might expect, quite a bit simpler to charge for just the storage and forget about metering the usage/bandwidth/transfer.

So we have typically had our price point higher than the B2s or Wasabis of the world, but there's just one simple number to think about - and no potential for surprises in the billing.

I will admit to having a bit of concern over adding 'rclone'[2] to our platform and the potential for users to just burn bandwidth using an rsync.net account as a "transfer host" but that is why we peer with he.net and their cheap an plentiful 10gb pipes.

It is the inverse of “hot potato” routing where the network tries to get rid of a packet as soon as possible (that is, drop a hot potato). Cold potato means the network keeps the packet on-network as long as it can.

None of these VPN critiques, including yours, actually address the reasons people use VPNs. Here's a big one: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/
I've been working on a project with similar goal to RLSL, called Emu. It's a procedural macro that automatically off-loads portions of code to run on a GPU. Here's a quick example...

#[gpu_use]
fn main() {
let mut a = vec![0.2; 1000];
let mut b = vec![0.3; 1000];
let c = vec![0.0; 1000];

gpu_do!(load(a));
gpu_do!(load(b));
gpu_do!(load(c));
gpu_do!(launch());
for i in 0..1000 {
c[i] = a[i] + b[i];
}
gpu_do!(read(c));

println!("{:?}", c);
}

Emu is currently open-sourced as a 100% stable Rust library and while it only supports a tiny subset of Rust, that subset is well-defined with useful compile-time errors and a comprehensive test suite.

So if you're looking for a way to contribute to single-source GPGPU for Rust, please consider helping expand Emu's supported subset of Rust. The repository is at https://www.github.com/calebwin/emu

I will say that since Emu works at the AST/syntax level, RLSL is of great interest to me because it works instead at the MIR level which allows it to more easily support a large subset of Rust.
Good to see someone calling BS on fusion startups. It's really too bad it's sucking up good money from reputable VCs. Hopefully this doesn't apply to fission startups, but the rhetoric has gotten pretty extreme there too (e.g. Oklo's recent claim of a 6 month license submission?).
I think deleting your account is similar to removing your ability to vote or protest WITHIN the company’s scope. If they lose your sunk cost into their system, you’re no longer as important as the people teetering on the edge. Changing your name and talking to people in the community about this has a greater effect thuan if you basically disappeared.

I believe even Blizzard understand the immediate bottom line isn’t quite as important as their brand image. Which is why they banned that guy to begin with. One who stops paying for blizzard products is one thing. One person who convinces others that blizzard is not worth supporting is way more significant than the money of one man.
Some parts of SO are far worse than others and I think the 'No True Scotsman' falacy mentioned by alttag is very apropos. The GIS stackoverflow is pretty much dead to due to heavy handed moderation.
I don't think Amazon really provides any products that are going to prevent you from hiring staff. That's the domain of companies like Zendesk or Salesforce.

All they provide you is the bare metal in easily-purchasable quantities. Whatever time you saved not having to lug a server up to your datacenter and plug it in will be spent debugging CloudFormation stacks or figuring out how to auction off your reserved instances that you no longer want.

Vs "hot potato"

Hold onto the packet for as long as you can vs hand it off to your peer as quickly as possible.

Most networks do "hot", Google does "cold" since their network is almost always better than that of the peer.
> Why is Russia pushing so hard to spread Internet access in such a situation?

The authorities fully recognize the utility value of it, in terms of productivity, communication and economy broadly.

So in line with that they're simultaneously crafting the beginnings of Russia's version of the Chinese firewall (some have taken to calling it Runet for short; Runet used to be a more generic term referring to sites primarily popular with Russians):

Just trying to understand: you think that somehow unions make it EASIER to layoff/fire someone? That management would somehow assume it's easier/less costly to fire people when they know those people will have a lawyer review the terms of their termination? That management would be less inclined to attempt including illegal non-competes?

‘To Particularize the Alone Distinction of Merit’: Blake's Visionary Imagination
Last I checked, Amazon does not commingle food; therefore, who you receive it from should be the seller. I agree, this is a big problem in other categories. For example, I bought some boots from Amazon as the seller- I didn't realize that Amazon comingled the manufacturer's product with 3P sellers. Turns out my boots are not warm. I blamed the manufacturer for a low-quality product- I wish I had known that the product could have been counterfeit.
Reminds me of this:

Thermodynamically if we take the headline at face value this is absolutely worse in principle, since abstractly the "outdoors" is simultaneously being warmed by waste heat from A/C. If this were the case it is fighting itself and certainly doomed to lose. But reading the article reveals that there is some (sufficient?) separation between the "outdoors" and outdoors in the literal sense.
In Europe, fashion companies went from an average offering of two collections per year in 2000 to five in 2011.

And a lot of it is zany garbage.

Plus, fashion helps promote a lot of warped body image issues.
The article references this report from a year ago: https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/story/putting... (2018)

“ The fashion industry produces 20 per cent of global wastewater and 10 per cent of global carbon emissions - more than all international flights and maritime shipping. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of water globally and it takes around 2,000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans.

Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned. If nothing changes, by 2050 the fashion industry will use up a quarter of the world’s carbon budget. ”

I always give traffic control stuff some leeway during rush hour since obviously traffic engineering has to make compromises, BUT I hate that no one cares about low traffic hours at all. I'm often going to or from a friends house that lives near a major highway with frequent lights. The lights are stuck on some timing such that driving the speed limit can result in getting stuck at nearly every stop light.

> His position is that the content in Blizz games is kinda subversive to the authoritarianism practiced by the CCP.

They've already been censoring this subversive content. Two Overwatch characters are revealed as LGBT in the comics but those comics have been censored in China.

I don't understand. If I were running a project with unlimited money, I'd engineer it so that it would never send data to me (it would work over LAN, VPN, and a cloud service used only to establish a direct link between the camera and the viewing device) and wouldn't be subscription based. That's ethical design. It seems to me the projects were indeed constrained, and most of the weirdness in IoT can be attributed to the core constraint: since the business model of selling crappy hardware as a loss leader to hook people on an Internet service is allowed to exist, it's very hard to compete without doing it.
Fair enough. Overwatch and WoW happen to be the two Blizzard games I never really got into, so it makes sense that I missed that connotation. I've kept up with the competitive Starcraft 2 scene (mostly in Korea) and I haven't really noticed any association of Blizzard with being particularly concerned with social justice.
Thank you! Updated and rolling out now.
Are the mechanics the same in Europe and the US?

For example, in Italy most people have a contract which follows the collective agreement obtained by the unions for that specific sector (i.e. commerce, textile worker, metal worker etc) even if people are not part of any union. If you are a member of the Union you may get some extra legal help or such, but not a different contract.

From what US people say it seems instead that members of a union live in a separate world.
> The expired food might have come from a different seller initially, but you were sent it because of Amazon's supply line optimisations.

Amazon took my cash, amazon should be responsible. The fact that they can't keep track of the goods they sell (also seems to be a problem with counterfeits) is their problem, even if they do their best to blame their suppliers.
Most other countries don't have free government-sponsored addiction treatment camps for teenage phone use.

I've never understood why some deaf people feel so strongly about it. The fact that deafness is part of their identity doesn't mean they ought to go around telling others they shouldn't try to hear, especially not so vehemently. I'd consider it roughly equivalent to the really obnoxious fire-and-brimstone evangelicals that yell that you're going to hell if you don't convert. Why do people care so much what others do with their lives?

When I wrote software for telcos, we had levels of logging that cloud users are only starting to reach ten, fifteen years later. From what I hear banks are even worse.

I recently saw a talk by a couple of former Google employees who have a business helping cloud customers save money, and they were saying that they see a lot of money being wasted by companies in overprovisioning and neglecting to shut down or delete unused resources like VMs or virtual disks.

Some of their advice for saving money was to keep track of who created each resource and why, so there's less reason to doubt whether an apparently unused resource can be deleted, and to make some limits regarding how many resources can be automatically created (especially in dev environments). Some other ideas were to look for signs of inactivity like low CPU or bandwidth use, and consider deleting such little used resources.

There was much more to the talk, but those were some of the highlights that I can remember without digging out my notes. It was a good talk.
Starcraft benefits Activision-Blizzard. IMO the full name is better, if only to remind people of the non-classic-Blizzard titles that should be avoided.
I wouldn't want to be responsible for suggesting legitimate protest be quelled, but there's a large, if not super majority proportion of their customerbase that isn't interested in this latest controversy, and would like to see Blizzcon/random eSports tournament without interruption. Blizzard is obligated to that group as much as they are everyone else.
(Ignore this: clearly my memory is flawed. Indiana doesn’t actually say anything about yellow lights, either about the requirement to be out before it turns red or stopping safely if possible.)

Here in Indiana you’re supposed to stop on yellow if you can safely.

That’s hard to judge for law enforcement but an easy rule for drivers to follow, if they would in fact do so. Doesn’t matter then how long the yellow light is.

All the industries are competing to be the one by which you display your worth to society. The order as I see it is: House, Car, Clothes, Phone. Jewelry goes in there somewhere.

Each of these products is trying to convince you of their value, excess value really, so you will spend your money on them, yet the expense of the product isn't worth much. You need a house to protect you from the weather and other people. After having done that, the rest is extravagance. Jewelry is absolutely no value. If you can call, text, and browse the internet, you're good. If a car gets you from A to B and doesn't need a lot of maintenance, that's sufficient.

I remember a Sex in the City scene where Carrie was talking about her $40,000 worth of shoes.

Beyond providing the basics, these products aren't worth more except for their display of wealth.

Meanwhile, we destroy the planet a little more each day to prove we are worth mating.
Maybe that is the point. Perhaps a more well thought out strategy for the long term security profile for router updates should, by default from firmware update, be made do deny deauth deny. However, this fact would also be lost on us if we weren't updated with a warning on the router admin page. Which by the way, anyone can get there. That is, if the router admin Page's IP is known. Otherwise, you'll need to pack a lunch. Because it'll be a while if you have to type in each private IP, or if a 11 digit phrase with some capitalized letters & special characters set for the password.

You are arguing on the knowledge that the rest of us would like to know about. So, you should take your argument to the FCC, or the entity that owns the page you're at & let the class continue.
