It is still cheap, even when bought through a service provider, even after adding backup storage, and after adding any overhead incurred by having more data. True, it costs more than the $0.02/GB that a cheap, large spinning rust drive costs - perhaps a factor of 10 or 100 more, and perhaps billed monthly instead of as a capital expense.

It's cheap in comparison to the data that a business is saving. That's really expensive data. The people that created the data cost thousands of dollars per month. It would be stupid to save $0.02 if there's even a small chance that someone will need to spend $200 to rewrite a document or reverse engineer some information that they had in an email from a couple years ago. While some data - an installer for 3rd-party software, or photos/video - is pretty large, a single config file or code file that may have been perfected over months or years is just a couple kB, and it's hard to keep the latter useful without the former. And if a customer's $100,000 installation goes down for an extended period of time because you deleted their backup images to save space? You're not getting another order like that from them.
I've built three systems with Intel desktop boards, and only one of them survived longer than three years; the other two succumbed to Bad Capacitor Syndrome. I wonder if the caps were counterfeits, since they were (at least ostensibly) from respected Japanese manufacturers.

The survivor is a D945GCLF2 (Mini-ITX Atom board) that runs my Asterisk installation. Even it's a bit wonky, though; kernels newer than 2.6 have a weird ACPI issue that crops up when the CPU temperature is above 71 C (which normally only happens when I'm compiling a new version of Asterisk). No BIOS or kernel fix is forthcoming.

If it wasn't for the expensive-to-replace PCI telephony card, I'd chuck it for an AMD-based Mini-ITX.
The author doesn't maintain an errata site, and it has potentially fatal errata.
I got an anecdata as well:

Having lived in a European city I was appalled of how bad the air quality was, how noisy the streets were, how annoying trash collection at 5am was, I had to use a wet mop on the hardwood floor almost on a daily basis to and it was black every day. I had to walk a half a mile to a tiny parklet, always packed with kids as it was the only location in the play. Every morning on the packed subway and street buses. It was awful, I couldn't wait to get back home.

Back home I live in a green environment, trees everywhere, I got my lawn, there are no fences, I forget to close my garage door at night no problem, nothing is ever missing ... I use a wet mop every other week and it is never dirty.

Do you know what generates the CO2 emissions? All that useless junk we buy shipped from all corners of the world. The fix is buying less junk not blaming on someone that happens to want to live in a green environment.
The 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Past 25 Years...FROM USA

There, I fixed the title for you
Human drivers have less sensory capability than a machine driver can have, but we compensate with situational awareness from general intelligence.

For a machine, direct sensory knowledge of what's solid and how far away everything is has a lot more added value.

If the machine driver sees something it has little experience with, it can't reason about its properties, but if it knows it's a solid object in its path, it can take action in spite of that.
This is similar to when my wife and I visit the UK, we usually do a week in the south and a week in Scotland. And we traditionally take the LNER between just because Getting to an airport will be a 45-60 minute cab or train, then dealing with security, baggage, etc, so all in all a 3.5-4 hour journey. London Kings Cross <-> Edinburgh Waverley is a 4-5 hour, usually OK train ride (if the A/C is working), and you get on and have wifi (sometimes), and can pull out your laptop and put it on a REAL table.

I have come across so many articles/tutorials "for beginners" that suffer from the Curse of Knowledge, forgetting that total beginners may not even be able to parse why something like:

"Pick a language, read the manual, and try to do something in it" that jstewartmobile offered is in fact good advice.

Thanks for hearing me out!
I am an Indian in US & I love my UPI app for Indian banking needs.

Before that, I had to use multiple banks' apps. Many of those would randomly want to verify me by sending an SMS to Indian 1800 number, impossible from my Indian Sim card while in roaming in US.

Now I just use PhonePe. Two banks, One Credit Card. Inter transfers, Card Payment, Bill Payments, Phone Recharges, Sending money to others, all from within one app.

> XMPP seems to be moving away from that as it is impossible to do reliably with the current brokenness of the internet. The current hotness involves uploading the file to the XMPP server and then just providing a https link to the other client(s).

Could be even more cool if you could just post a file to a group chat and it would be shared via BitTorrent behind the scenes.

> I am personally not at all sad if my IM client can't do audio/video. Just let me send a damn text message and have it come out at the other end reliably.

I agree. I can hardly see why texting and voice calling is always meant to be done with the same app.
Ugh. The image of a somewhat environmentally conscious westerner taking the time to sort their waste plastics into recyclable / not, only to have it be shipped all the way to Indonesia and then burned on an open fire to boil the tofu which they have been consuming in an effort to do their part to further reduce their negative impact on the planet.

I'd recommend Python. It's very beginner friendly, there are plenty of tutorials, and there are a lot of advanced libraries. [1]

Don't read the manuals, follow a few tutorial. Try to think a variant of the exercises in the tutorials and try to code the variants too. (Each person has their own style, I don't like reading the manuals. You may like to read the manuals.)

Try to find a problem in your area that is easy to automate. Some thing that is small, repetitive and boring. It's good to make a few toy/small projects that make something that is useful for you.

I don't know how realistic is to expect some side money from this, but if you are an expert is some field sometimes you can use programing to solve exactly what the people in that field needs.

[1] I prefer racket. It has a strange syntax, so sometimes people get scared of it. The advantages of racket are easier to see when you have been programing for a while, so start with Python and then try other languages later.
Aestethics still apply though and it looks nice.

Pet peeve: Why isn't anyone building brick houses anymore?
When the number is 99%,I just round it up.

I know this might be a tangent, but separate houses has caused HUGE housing problems. Wealthy homeowners refuse to give up their single family homes near large cities where that space should house 30 families.

So your company refuses to spend...1000 x $0.1 = $100 to avoid deleting or dropping emails? That seems incredibly short-sighted.
We are similar. I spent alot of time on cardboard spinning around next to a boombox. As a result I have to repeatedly ask my daughter to "speak up" or "look at me" when talking so I can read her lips.

In terms of road maintenance, that might actually not be the case. Road destruction by traffic scales with the fourth power of axle load, for weak pavement surfaces and heavy loads with the sixth (!) power of axle load.

(Of course you are right with respect to traffic congestion, CO2 emissions, particulate pollution and noise pollution.)
I deal with both situations with the same mindset:

2. the doom of humanity will not

So with both statements, what I can do is live my life the best way I can. and of course, I do the best for case 1 to happen as late as possible.
Private property is fundamental, but preventing people from traversing across private private property seemed to have morphed from being no big deal into a much bigger offense over the last century. Or at least that is my understanding.

For anyone on Windows stuck doing this, I've had decent luck with the Snappy Driver Installer. (https://sdi-tool.org/)

Let’s assume Intel has the best motivations here, and really wants to ensure that Intel devices perform better than competitors. There’s a far better way to accomplish this without invading the privacy of end users and becoming yet another attack vector (has anyone coined YAAV yet?):

- Create a program that allows developers and other companies to upload their code to be stored and executed by Intel to test and store performance improvements and regressions

- For those who don’t trust Intel with their code, allow them to register their site as part of a testing program. Intel can then rank the importance of these sites internally by popularity or whatever kind of metrics they want.

If developers and companies care, they’ll participate and work with Intel directly. If they don’t, they won’t. Stop pushing this crap onto users’ machines, building profiles, storing data, and invading everyone’s privacy.

We really need an anti-telemetry law in the US.

Intel's CIP is a wannabe NSA spook. The websites I visit should be nobody's business but my own.
I definitely saw Jurassic Park in that demo. It was specifically that scene in the kitchen with the velociraptors sneaking around, hunting the kids.

But probably they had multiple variants of the demo.
To be honest, it's a really crappy list, because most of them focus on some kind of historical/documentary-like drama and/or injustice. Also, most of them cover topics and history from the US.

These books might be fine (I just skimmed the descriptions and I haven't read them) but this definitely doesn't look like the best NONFICTION books.
3 years ago I needed a "beta"[1] BIOS update for my 2012 Ivy Bridge motherboard because it shipped with EFI and every NVIDIA GPU since Pascal (2016) only works in UEFI mode. That machine is still perfectly good for modern games. If I had chosen to upgrade my GPU later and Gigabyte did the same as Intel now, I would be SOL.

[1] Gigabyte used to mark BIOS updates as "beta" when it's past their time (in 2012 Gigabyte terms: a year) to provide less warranty & support in case something goes wrong. They're as stable as the main versions.
I was thinking this was going to be about human moderation in search filtering, but it actually is about engineers implementing manual input into the algorithm to force certain results to never appear or certain results to always appear.

I wonder what the consequences of no-filter algorithmic search results in. Google had to tweak its algorithm to avoid disinformation campaigns from spam in the past. Now we're dealing with another sort of disinformation campaign and I don't know a reasonable way for google to tackle it the way it is now.
it’s a good attempt, but i think it still won’t appeal to those on which the previous argument didn’t work.
You'll never make everyone happy... For me the fact that it's RoR as opposed to, say Go or Elixir is a big turn off, because I know it will be slow and eat up lots of RAM.

The best non-fiction I have read in the past 25 years is

* Longitude, by Dava Sobel.
Aside from non-fiction and, perhaps, available in English - I don't think there is a well defined criteria. Personally, I wouldn't want one for this kind of list. The pure subjectivity of one or a few individuals can be a valuable resource.
It seems like people are misinformed and think that "monopoly" means someone who has the all the market share. That's not how it works.

A monopoly is the control or advantage obtained by an entity over the commercial market in a certain area, who uses that advantage (willfully) to fix prices or exclude competitors. Granted, control or advantage of the market is a component, but what really makes a monopoly a monopoly is the intent behind the actions of the entity. If a memo, or meeting minutes were to come out showing that Apple was signing exclusivity agreements, or disabling payment apps on the iPhone (NFC) to specifically put competition out of business, well then that would be monopolistic.

By the way, even when this sort of behavior can skirt the law, it's still unethical. I'm not saying businesses need to actively support their competition, but seeking to put them out of business through backroom deals and price fixing is wrong. It's the antithesis of a free market and unfortunately is rampant in the tech industry.
Murder itself is wrong and causes harm to society. Using encryption by itself is not wrong and does not cause harm to society.
Probably not. FTR, I never said they should. I didn't propose any dependency on the number of residents, but this does not imply that I think there should be none. There are probably many other variables to take into account, and I didn't want to state a complete proposal. Just one of the many criteria.
How is your isp spying on you not infringing on privacy?
From what I can tell, it's "opt in" in the sense that so long as you're paying really close attention when installing Intel's Driver & Support Assistant, it's technically possible to avoid accidentally turning it on. (However, it is apparently impossible to to avoid installing it regardless of which options you choose in that installer - hence the FAQ item "If I choose not to participate in the program now, can I join the program later?" that says people with that installed can just turn it on from CIP's control panel entry.)
"Secondhand Time: Last of the Soviets" is an oral history of the USSR. Lots of interesting stories and perspectives. I really enjoyed it.
Sure people living in the center of a city do not have many reasons to own cars, but they still often use taxi, and some want to have cars but can't afford to. And then some people do not use cars normally, but have to use them when need to transport something heavy, travel with children, or simply due to illness. So assuming everyone who doesn't own car wants them banned is too optimistic.

Disclaimer: i live in a city not in US, i do not own a car (although can afford it), and use uber occasionally.

It's also a straw man to pretend that everyone who might consider going in to an abandoned building is a parent with young children, or that they're going to Leroy Jenkins their way in yelling about Instagram. Anyone with half a brain realizes that there are some risks in going into abandoned buildings.

"Don't eat random berries you find" is something most people learn as a toddler.

Why on earth does this make the list crappy?
The one thing that does not stop boggling my mind on a daily basis is the lack of a consistent feature detection and the subsequent fallback mechanism for the web. I need to look at all these weird angles and use polyfills just to check if the feature is there in the first place. Even then, I cannot accomplish this without JS, and cannot react to it without JS.

It's not a choice I have, so fuck it: I'll make it viewable without JS, and usable with JS.

Publii seems great. I checked out an early version when it wasn't quite ready for prime time.

You're right, it is (now?) close to what I was thinking.

However, I was thinking of the developer who just wants to publish a blog. They may wish to go in and tweak things if they want, but sometimes they just want to write about -- I don't know, another way to visualize matrix multiplication -- and don't want to spend an hour updating their RVM to run Jekyll because this theme isn't compatible with the old ruby or whatever.
There are pretty straightforward CSS-only solutions too, for example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38215801/584552
I would really like that this would be pointed out. Something like "judged by the opinion of Mary Kate, John Smith and X Y".

Then I could look up those people and take a look if there is a chance of having an overlapping taste.
I wish they kept it called a Mach-E, and maybe slipped in a pony somewhere as homage (on top of the obvious styling queues)

That being said, calling it a Mustang Mach-E is going to get the industry, and community, more abuzz than simply calling it a mustang inspired EV called the Mach-E.

I like it well enough, and I hope the electronics end up in a future Mustang coupe, like this bad boy: https://www.autoblog.com/2019/11/06/ford-webasto-lithium-mus...

In those times, most would be happy a wall looked straight, and vertical enough to not fall. Also, a circular wooden object (a spool, wagon wheels, ...) could help to maintain the forms. The Dutch Wikipedia mentions many variants formed from straight segments. Probably the labor cost would have been about the same, and workers happier because of the variation involved.

I tried to run some of my CL stuff in JSCL, but the browser just froze, so I quickly gave up on that. Guess it can't handle more complex stuff.

I wonder if someone ever tried to compile a C-based CL implementation (like sbcl) to WebAssembly (i.e. using emscripten) ? I'd be surprised if nobody ever tried that,
but I never read any reports regarding success or failure.
