Well people are asserting that they can use a PC - by which I mean a laptop with traditional form factor - on a treadmill, and they clearly can't - not without a bunch of hardware to help them out. And while I haven't done it, I'm pretty sure I can just spin up a desktop PC in the cloud and remote into it; it's not that hard, but it is inconvenient.

The point is that PCs have got use cases, iPads have use cases, and they both help people do "real work". In both cases there are situations where the form factor or operating system is an impediment to getting "real work" done.

The fact that one aspect of iPad - multitasking - is rough around the edges, doesn't deduct from the overall proposition of iPad or the ability for it to be used in "real work". The form factor itself is a huge benefit to certain types of job, the OS is built to work with that form factor, and this is something that iPad does better than anything else (at least if sales are an indication).

The PC is not remotely the best tool for every computing job, and just because you're, say, a pilot, doesn't mean you're not doing real work.

Is there a way to see Facebook's revenue broken down by country?
Lol, you've tried to defend AMC before on other threads. Read between the lines. "We believe" is about the lowest level of confidence one could attribute to a statement like this. No data, no methodology, no measurements. It's equivalent to "we hope" or "we guess" or "we really need this to be true."

The company's stock has fallen by 80+%. Management is under extraordinary pressure to defend their major decisions, including the rollout of A-List and the rejection of partnering with MoviePass. OF COURSE management is going to claim their decisions were correct, but they are offering ZERO hard data or evidence to that end.
This has become the norm now. High quality local multiplayer is the exception. Split screen was more common on the 30" CRT than the 60" flat screen.
It sounds like you're going to the main page, expecting to download it and deploy it yourself.

It isn't surprising that the main interface is pointing you to _use_ it, rather than deploy it.

If you click on the help hub, _man_, you'll find what you're looking for straight away:

> Hacking on or deploying sourcehut yourself? Resources here.

---

> I guess click on "git" on https://git.sr.ht/? Wait that's where I already am with no indication that that is the selected tab.

That's incorrect. If you look to the left of the nav bar, you'll see some text with red highlighting exactly where you are.

> I still have no idea what language this project is written in, how to deploy or maintain it.

If you click the dev resources link, then you'll find this nice and obvious quote:

> sr.ht core is a Python package that provides shared functionality across all sr.ht services. It also contains the default templates and stylesheets that give sr.ht a consistent look and feel.
I stopped smoking almost a year ago, having smoked heavily (~25/D) from 16-25. Quitting was the best decision of my life so far: I run up stairs without thinking, my senses are sharpened and I generally feel way better than before.
But most importantly, I don't have the ffing urge to smoke a cigarette whenever I have five minutes of time, and especially when I don't have those five minutes.
I get up in the morning and just drink an espresso, I barely use my balcony anymore.
I work in concentrated periods of 2-4 hours, because you know what? That smoking break you need to stay creative, it's of course just a convenient lie to yourself.
I go to parties and can stay inside for as long as I want to, and I still get to talk to people.

I like to say i woke up and the urge was gone, but that isn't the full truth. The days before I quit I had extreme anxiousness and couldn't sleep, thinking about how much I love life and what plans I have and how I want to have children - and how stupid it is to inhale smoke that kills you and doesn't even taste that good in exchange. I didn't want to die.
Next day, halfway through the second one, I noticed they really don't taste good and decided to quit.
I see one really positive point in cloud computing and that is that I can soundly sleep at night :)

Of course, cloud is overpriced, slow, and suffers from noisy neighbors. And keeping things running in the cloud is about the same amount of work as keeping it running on bare-metal. But for customer-visible things, I want to use cloud so that someone else has to get up in the middle of the night when apache crashes.

Sleeping peacefully makes it worth for me to pay $5,000 monthly to Heroku when 2-3x $100 bare metal servers would do. Plus I can cheaply insure against supplier negligence, whereas insuring against employee negligence would be much more expensive.
I know this sounds cliche but what you want to find is a niche market where theres still harvestable low hanging fruit or some original product/idea that might be useful and not saturated. I think automating trading and even selling scrapped data are already getting somewhat mature; it’s not easy to compete with shops that have been doing it for some time by working solo..

You are underestimating the value of indexed logs and a Kibana view into them. For example, if you wanted a histogram of error logs for the last 12 days, and then zoom in and see the actual logs.

I have a friend with a rack of co-located servers I manage. I drive from San Diego to LA where they are located maybe once every 6 months or more. I don't believe I have been to the rack for about a year. The rack with 20mbs of bandwidth costs around $2,500 a month.
If that's part of the threat model, a layer 7 protocol can encrypt and sign the payload. Then anybody terminating the connection wouldn't be able to read and modify messages.

There are also replay attacks and probably many other issues I can't think about. Maybe some IM protocol already deals with that.

You're reading too much into it. If you're a Japanese girl, you meet at Hachiko because it's right outside the main exit to the JR Shibuya station and across the street from the Starbucks and the all-important Shibuya 109 shopping center. If you're in Shinjuku, you meet in front of the giant Studio Alta sign which is opposite the JR Shinjuku East Exit. If you're meeting somewhere else, you have to decide which station exit to meet at. Since I'm a nerd, I usually arrange to meet people at whatever Bic Camera store adjoins the station.
Possible that the mutations have some sort of selective advantage while smoking which ceases to matter once quit. The non-mutated ones become again the one that express the more favorable genome for the current environment and take over from there.
That's a good point, I think I'd just heard that a long time ago and not really thought about it but with much larger features it should actually be more resilient.
I like where you're going with this but I think you're taking a big leap at "the net loss over the lifetime of the share is its IPO price". And not because of the "not every stock eventually goes to $0".

I also don't have a definitive answer however some things that play into the equation must be:

I think VWAP (Volume-weighted average price) also plays into how much money was made by people and how much was lost in aggregate. This specific share we are tracking along its lifetime might have exchanged hands a lot while it is going up and traded rarely during periods of decline.

Also the share could have been first purchased as a part of the options given to investors, employees, etc.
We used a central logstash server to receive the data from filebeat and logstash-forwarder running on multiple other servers. So in the initial deployment, logstash only set up the host and service tags needed for Kibana plus it was like a central gateway for external servers to write into the locally running ES storage.

As for why the price that elastic.co quoted us was lower than EC2, I have no idea. My guess would be that they were hoping to get a reference customer onboard for their (then new) offering.

Or maybe they are internally running bare-metal and thereby purchasing their CPU power cheaper than EC2 pricing. I mean you don't really need a redundant fault-tolerant virtual machine if the database on top is redundant and fault-tolerant, too.
I don't think someone without an account can be tagged in a photo. More importantly, the recognition engine will not find them, afaik.

> What cloud advocates always say is that the $50k monthly will save you money from not needing to hire a team to manage it for you, and that over the course of 10+ years you will be ahead.
Is that true in anyone's experience? Every once in a while somebody posts about their competing bare-metal system and it looks like a lot of people have managed to cut their server costs by 99% (based on the numbers they post) by avoiding the cloud as a service

Too many weasel words.

Actualy, I think it is.

You said it yourself:

> on desktop I can't paste between Emacs and Confluence because Atlassian went out of their way to break it.

Which presupposes that by default (i.e without Atlassian's messing things up), it would have worked.
On desktop applications, File-level and copy-paste interoperability are there by default.

This is the difference: what is the amount of interoperability you get by default, i.e without specific actions from the app developers?

The fact that you can break interoperability is irrelevant.
Thanks! I hadn't spotted that...
That's because Hadoop is a big favorite of wining and dining suits, who scram at the sight of the command line.
They didn't, that's why they called us to complain that our FTP server was offline...

Some of them also had one of those DNS-grabbing ISPs, so by mistyping the hostname they would accidentally connect to the wrong IP.

EDIT: I think I now got what you meant. When a customer says "my password is not working" then the first thing we do is check in the logs that the customer actually did connect to the correct server. That's like the number one issue, correct username and password but wrong hostname.

Honestly, it depends on the situation. Skilled engineers who can maintain systems reliably are hard to find, in general. If its not a core system and you have the capital, it makes a lot more sense to pay a cloud hosting provider and focus on your product rather than attempt to build something simply to save on costs.

Clearly in the example above, you can afford to hire two sys admins to manage the bare metal servers (you can probably afford more, but 2 is the minimum that gives some peace of mind)

We had an application that was a glorified quiz engine and our customers would mass enrol and mass take the quizzes so the scaling that was offered by Azure made it a no brainer for us, specially as given the nature of our customers, quizzes would only take place during working hours, so we'd scale right down for half the day and scale up and out at peak times.

Total costs were about 1/2 of what we estimated for bare metal

I am very happy to pay for Heroku, exactly because I don't want to be the poor guy getting up in the middle of the night to restart Apache.

But for a system that is invisible from customers, like our logging system here, I don't care that much about timely maintenance.

Then everybody just resorts to tossing everything into the garbage bin, which doesn't get rejected.

The people doing the recycling need to do at least one of 2 things: educate the lay people, or hunker down and process what they get before sending it off to the next step (usually one of several Asian countries, apparently) where it gets rejected and sent back because the percentage of recyclable material is too low for them to process.

Lay people are constantly blamed, yet the recycling companies also show no interest in processing what they receive before shipping it off. I guess they don't want to get their hands dirty. This is unacceptable, and needs some serious overhaul to make it work as we are all led to believe it works.

Building a Developer Community
I think perhaps your business model isn't as solid as you might think. Producing an app is not a free pass to live on the revenue, and the market capture is an important part.

I'm not an app developer, I'm in the music industry (day job in IT infra), but it seems to me there are some people projecting their bad business sense onto Apple. As per my other comment in this thread, and the reply someone made for me, the commission drops on subscription based apps, could you not use a subscription, rather than your pay-per-use system (which sounds like a creative workaround, kudos) and then you'll get the benefit of the tax rolloff.

Trying to make your own way in this world is damn hard work, and if a business model falls apart because one needs to "pay taxes," Apple will not be the biggest problem for very long. I'm sure most here would agree that it stinks that Apple are demanding a 30% tax whilst paying ~0% to the U.S. Government, but that is the way of things for now.

Are European hosting providers cheaper because they’re simpler, or because they’re European? I don’t see anything analogous for cheap dedicated servers in the US market. Wages, consumer prices, real estate, etc. are all lower so it makes sense that French and German companies charge less than Amazon.

Collocation can be a great deal at scale, but I don’t see a way to cheaply rent a handful of servers for substantially less than Amazon would charge. VPS providers maybe, but even the quintessential cheap American VPS (DigitalOcean) has a bunch of cloud features these days.

The last big dedicated provide I know of was Softlayer, which is now $2100/mo for a 242GB and 56 core dedicated box under IBM Cloud. Amazon’s m5 is around the same capacity at $3700/mo.

>people have already built most of those microwave tower paths here on earth

I can assure you that lucrative paths like New York-London and New York-Tokyo have not been built yet. In fact, the vast majority of lucrative trading paths have not been built yet due to geographical restrictions. Yes, fiber optic links exist, but those only go up to 0.7c.

To a trading firm, the choice between a satellite link that does ~0.9c and a fiber optic link that does <0.7c is obvious.

You are underestimating how much costs the issues caused by Kibana and a slow ES can produce.

I used to have these nice Kibana diagrams set up with auth and a https proxy so that our team could easily check if the server error rates looked normal. I quickly found out two things:

1. Most of our employees never ever looked at it, dismissing it as "too technical" just from seeing a screenshot.

2. The ELK stack uses backpressure, meaning the servers running filebeat run out of HDD space.

BTW, with a bit of grep in front, the actual per-service working data sets are small enough so that I can load them into R on a 256GB RAM server and then produce nice diagrams. You can also script R from the command line and then send the diagrams around as a cronjob.

GNU doesn't really have lambdas. This is an abuse of the compound statement macro.

IIRC compound statements, like I've presented, don't use trampolines. Nested functions definitely do, but that isn't quite what we're doing here.

GCC _should_ compile using descriptors for the compound statements that lambda is expanding to instead of using trampolines.

gcc -fno-trampolines -I. examples/lambda.c

Works. There's no trampoline present.
