I'm kind of new to Anki myself (started a couple of weeks ago) so I might be wrong, but I think you can limit the amount of cards you want to review on a per-deck-basis. The default-number is quite high (200 per day I think?).

If you make that number the same as the "new cards per day"-number, that might be a work around for your issue?
The odd thing about having 20 years of experience (while simultaneously being wide-eyed about new tech), is that I now have enough confidence to read interesting posts (like any post on k8s) and not think "I HAVE to be doing this" – and rather think "good to know when I do need it."

Even for the highest scale app I've worked on (which was something like 20 requests per second, not silicon valley insane but more than average), we got by perfectly fine with 3 web servers behind a load balancer, hooked up to a hot-failover RDS instance. And we had 100% uptime in 3 years.

I feel things like Packer (allowing for deterministic construction of your server) and Terraform are a lot more necessary at any scale for generally good hygiene and disaster recovery.
The AIGA Eye on Design site has always been very poorly designed, which is a bit ironic for a site about graphic design. Or maybe it's to be expected, since they're graphic designers, not web designers.

For a long time the title of the site used to be in the sticky header, and the eye logo would occasionally blink. It was incredibly distracting and I'd lose my place while reading every time it did. Perhaps they were excited to introduce motion into their design, something not possible in traditional graphic design, but maybe they didn't know how insanely primed our vision is to focus on motion at the expense of everything else.

Mercifully, they've since removed it.
I've seen the pressure come from customers too, in the case of b2b between tech companies. My company embraced Kubernetes after years of customers asking us "what's your Kubernetes story?" and not liking the answer, "that doesn't solve any problems we have".

As a regular linux user, no, don't worry about whether you're using wayland or xorg, just use whatever comes with your distro. Let the maintainers worry about those things and just be a user.
The model I suggest is used in Germany, and works well for both the business and the workers. On a smaller scale, Costco implements something similar in the US with positive results (Customers and employees before shareholders, but shareholders still profit).
Tonnage. If you're wanting to move 7/8 figure tonnage loads over a period of time, you're going to need a big trunk.

In space vehicles, that means everything gets really, really big.

When I was younger, I was already suspicious of hyped, marketing-driven technologies and lock-in. But as I grow older, I've grown more aware at how people constantly ignore the problem.

I just want to solve problems with ideally as little complexity as possible.

Nothing cynical about it.
No engineer that works at SpaceX and is actually good at what s/he does would have an issue finding a job somewhere else. Having SpaceX on your resume is a guaranteed door opener. Everyone that I knew did it because they believed in the company's mission. Eventually, many went on to other places, many others kept on.
Please consider an acronym other than "HVM", which already has meaning in virtualization context (Hardware Virtualized Machine).
I use it for programming. My general rule is anytime i need to keep looking up some command, i just stick it in anki. Here are two python cards I added this week:

What method do you use to format a datetime object in python:

strftime()

How do you create a new virtual env using python 3

python3 -m venv <NAME>

Those may seem stupid to you, but I was looking them up and now i do not need to. I also use them for other concepts when I want to know a language better. For example

What are the three prototypical methods of a js promise?

then, catch, finally

What does the constructor of a promise take?

and executor function

How many parameters does a executor take?

2

What are the two parameter of the executor function (constructor of a js promise)

resolve() and reject()

Things like this just help me as a programmer. I agree it's not for everyone, but I have the time an enjoying doing it.

ANSI demos would be similar to your request, but use a different character set (IBM PC's default character mode--code page 437).
AWS refunds you when that happens.

The fundamental issue with setting a limit is it's technically infeasible to decide what to do when it's exceeded. They have no way of knowing what assets to terminate. The way to avoid what you describe is to shut off access to APIs that you don't want to use, and keep your credentials safe.
That's probably part of the equation too, i.e. that a majority of workers want a full time employment with a schedule so that they can take a few weeks off.

So why should I do all of that instead of throwing a little money at AWS, run ECS and actually spend my time creating my product?

Heck, if my needs are simple enough why should I even use ECS instead of just putting my web app on some VM's in an auto-scaling group behind a load balancer and used managed services?
ISRO: Spatial Information System of Biomass Potential from Crop Residues
Yes. It seems like having robots colonize a planet or the moon would be a lot smarter.
Visualizing 70 years of temperature data at 236 stations around the world
Yes, but defence in depth/layering is the over-arching, higher-order concept in the security game.
No, not in aerospace. The common approach is to spend years designing, simulating, and then actual tests come at the very end, and sometimes you don't even test because you can't or it would be too expensive. That's what Boeing are doing with their own rockets; Mars missions until now didn't really go through an iterative process; satellites are usually manufactured only by one and they better work once in orbit.

I was taught this in my university’s swimming course. They called it the survival stroke as well. I’m glad I learned it, because if I were ever caught out and needed to swim farther than normal, I could totally see myself making it back (although a lot slower)
We're not biologically adapted for surviving in Siberia, but we manage it. Hell, you'll get hypothermia on the French Riviera in winter without clothes.

> I'm happy Musk _is_ obsessed.

I can definitely empathize with that, I'm happy with what's being achieved as well. Seing how SpaceX and Tesla are routinely achieving their goals and arguably change the world, I often can't get over the fact that the output of our civilization seems to hinge on the iron will of a few billionaires.

Elon Musk (and SpaceX as his tool) is just an extremely illustrative example of this, because we can directly see what our space capabilities and ambitions would look like without him.

I wish there was a Musk-like figure focused on transhumanism, but sadly it may genuinely be too early for that in my lifetime. Or not. And that's the frustrating thing: we wouldn't know until one appears.

I know this sounds like I'm writing a love letter, but it's really not meant that way. I would rather live in a civilization that has its own momentum and a better-distributed capacity for achievement, as opposed to putting my hope for the future on a few tenuous human pivot points and their whims.
>Why does it need to be super-large? To simulate gravity?

Rocket efficiency scales infinitely with size.
There are a couple ways to do it that I've found. None of them is perfect for every situation I've encountered. I think that part of the reason why there's no clean way to do it is that there are so many specific things someone might want to do:

- If you want to just push cards to the back of the queue, but remember timings and history, there's a built-in command to do that.

- If you want to change the current interval of a card, but keep your history, there's also a built-in command for that.

- If you need to do the above in bulk, the "Reset Card Scheduling" plugin can make this a lot more convenient.

- If you really do want to completely reset a card, forget all history, etc., and treat it as a new card, there's the "Remove Card History" plugin.

Finally, when returning to old decks, I found I usually get the most mileage by leaving all that stuff alone and just suspending the whole thing, and then un-suspending them at a steady pace. I neglected my Kanji deck for months, and I used that approach to get myself back up to speed by doing the catch-up review in the original (RTK) order I originally learned them rather than based on Anki's priority.

You could have dead code that the compiler cannot recognize as dead and therefore cannot optimize away (basically everything the type system cannot catch). For example, given a function(int x) where, to make sense, x can only be an even number that is a multiple of 42. You are free to handle all x that don't match the criteria however you want, though you'll burden yourself with bad error handling should an invalid x slip through at the caller's site.

Much easier (and safer) would be to find n characters or words in strings which, when replaced with another one, don't change the program's behavior or misguide the user - documentation, menu labels, error messages and so on. This way you can even include a n-bit identifier to identify the copyright violator.
Nobody mentions the serious vacuum of useful information when it comes to small fruit and vegetable gardens and homestead. Thousands of websites but most lack useful info. Managing soil, pests and irrigation is really hard in mixed planting beds because you need a bunch of different chemicals for all the different pests and problems, also one screwup and you are done for the season try again in the fall or next year so learning is slow
If you work for someone else you have already traded your time for a wage and their benefit. How is this any different?
It seems like the opposite of "unpaid". Husband does X hours of labour each year and gets 0.5 * total salary. Wife does Y hours of labour each year and also gets 0.5 * total salary.

It's not unpaid labour if you're getting paid for it, right?
It turns out orbital launchers scale rather well with size.

The rocket is already 90+% propellant (fuel & oxydizer), with the few percent left being the engines, structure and payload. So if you want the rocket to have a meaningful payload, it needs to be big.

For example the Falcon 9 weights 350 tons and can place 22 tons to low earth orbit (LEO). So about 6% of initial launcher weight ends up in orbit.

If you want to place the 100+ tons estimated for a reasonable Mars trip, your launcher will be either huge or you will need to do a lot of launches and assemble your ship in orbit with all the overhed that requires.

Starship also aims to be fully reusable, which will eat to your payload yet again but provides a huge benefit of not throwing away any part of your rocket, just burning a lot of propellant, which is dirt cheap compared to rocket hardware (estimates say about 5% of conventional rocket launch is fuel, the less is hardware that you normally simply crash into the ocean after use).

So in short - big payload -> big rocket. Reusable rocket with big payload -> humungous rocket that is really really cheap to operate.
For example, USD 10,000 is the absolute maximum you can bring into or take out of the US, or move between accounts in the US, without intrusive and possibly annoying declarations of source of funds, and potential exposure to instant civil forfeiture if you are deemed suspicious [0].

Stablecoins may not be practically subject to these restrictions (they may have other very serious risks and limitations, but not the same ones as USD).

So choose whatever currency is best for you. Isn't it nice to have a choice?

> New hotness is one way to entice them.

Only the bad ones.
Is your example not transformative in the most basic sense?
I would recommend two machines and a loadbalancer. Most often the thing that doesn't scale isn't the applications you're able to run in Kubernetes, at least not at first. Most customers I've dealt with who have scaling issue need take a look at their database before Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is awesome of many reasons, but it's a big step from a single server setup to full Kubernetes and there are plenty of options in between. We're able to scale large national infrastructure projects using VMs and loadbalancers, but we also deploy run stuff on Kubernetes. The thing is: when stuff breaks, you'll prefer that it's not the Kubernetes stuff.

If you run the infrastructure your self, you should be VERY sure that you know how it works, because debugging it is extremely complex.
This update is really a ton of tiny things that improve the editor experience, but mostly it's about laying the groundwork for what's to come. Still lots of work to do
Irregular verbs are a conjugation problem, which is different from noun declension.
I don't see that there's any difference in responding "Again" to an expired card vs reclassing that card as new. When I'm catching back up on an old deck I just turn new card off and limit my reviews until I've worked through the backlog this way.
Oops! Yes... should have said "it expresses" (typo)
Very interesting point about board games. Thanks.

I worked at Starbucks in Store Planning while they were trying to figure out how to makes their stores be a "third place" (early 1990s). Small stages for unplugged sets. Fire places. Big tables for study groups.

I'm just a computer guy, but I always felt Starbuck's merchandising strategy sabotaged those efforts.

WotC had great success for a short while as board gaming host, destination. Mox, the largest I know of today, seems to be successful. https://www.moxboardinghouse.com

I would love to see Barnes & Noble pivoting to become a third place. Especially something kid friendly. (My kid was super into Pokemon.)

Basically a public library vibe with a cafe, that also sells some stuff, located in a mall.

5 seconds is the amount of time Linux takes to fail over to the next dns resolver in resolv.conf. You likely had a bad/unreachable DNS server.
He doesn't, plain and simple. So either it is propaganda or dilution or hybris. Probably a combination of all three.
Same. After about a year of using Anki the need to aggressively delete became apparent. With good culling and time to reflect, review can be almost a meditation.

How does Supermemo help you keep keep context?

> keeping organized notes that may or may not be used for active recall

I use a separate notes app (Bear) for this. Is there much advantage in your experience to integrating active recall notes with Evernote-style reference notes?
Then consider this: a startup in its job ad is probably simultaneously talking about the hottest new tech and passion for building a reliable product. But the intersection between these two is vanishingly small. So what kind of hires do you want to optimize for? CV-driven developers, or people who know how to build reliable and efficient software fast?
This is... false. For a number of reasons. Something can be economically rational at scale and still a gamble, because you do not have infinite funds. More importantly, past results are not indicative of future results in valuations. Thinking that a thing must increase in value because it increased in value previously is perhaps the dumbest fallacy in in finance possible.

Option 1: I offer you 99,999/100,000 chance to lose everything you have, And a 1/100,000 chance to get 100,001 times more. Expected value is net positive. And yet, you’d be pretty dumb to do it. Gambling.

Option 2: I offer you 9/10 chance to get 1.01x more. 1/10 chance to get 0x. Expected loss. Better than 50% odds of gain. Gambling.

Option 3:
Coin toss. Triple your lifespan on heads. Die on tails. Definitely gambling.
Humans are not adapted to live in space either. But because of a couple brave people, we now know a little about how to counteract zero gravity's degradation on the body (Bone and muscle loss -> stricter workout regiment). Bound to fail in the long term is quite the statement to make given our ability to build tools based on data that could increase our chance of survival.
I was in a similar place in December 2019. Two main options before me: Dell XPS or the Thinkpad X1 Extreme

Both are great machines, but I went for the Thinkpad.

Reasons:

1. The near zero bezels of the Dell XPS look great, but I use an external monitor most of the time.

2. Thinkpad keyboards. Enough said. Best in breed.

3. Upgradability. Thinkpads are still one of the most upgradable laptops. Almost every part can be upgraded.

4. Thinkpad aesthetics and military grade hardware testing.

5. I find the build quality of the Thinkpad's better than Dell XPS.

Downsides of the Thinkpad is battery life, especially if you go for the 4k version of the screen. With that I get 4 to 6 hours depending on type of usages. Doesn't really bother me though. I find that enough. I'm not a sit in a cafe all day unplugged kind of users. I need my multiple external monitors.

Linux support you ask?

I have a dual boot with Windows 10. The Linux setup is Debian based XFCE desktop. Everything works fine. Bluetooth, HDMI, you name it. Even the Nvidia 1650 works perfect.
I get this logic, and it would fit better with the rest of my personality if I treated books this way, but I don't. Instead I have maybe 100 books, 90% read, even after culling stuff I don't like about once per year. And my default is still to buy books. Some reasons for this are:

1. Books are pretty cheap. If you're looking for something more than 15 years old, you can probably find a cool-looking used paperback on eBay for $4-5 shipped. This isn't as cheap as "free at the library" but my book habit still sets me back <$200 a year or so, with the cost dominated by a few expensive new books.

2. Some people (including me) like books as aesthetic objects. Maybe there is some element of "mmm, I am so smart" when I look at my bookcase, but it's also just a nice wooden case with a bunch of colorful objects in it. I like having it around.

3. It's fun to look at your old books and remember what it was like to read them. My books are physical objects that I actively thought about, held in my hands, and carried around for a week or whatever years ago, so it's a surprisingly effective way of conjuring up time and place.

4. Giving away books to friends is fun and makes it more likely they'll actually read the thing.

5. As a kid I loved big shelves with lots of books, they suggested so much possibility and I'm glad my parents had so many. If I ever have a kid I would enjoy providing them with a similar environment.

So buying books doesn't make much sense from a pure information acquisition standpoint, but there are some more idiosyncratic benefits.
Hate to tell you this but that second idea is much easier to manage from an operations standpoint and significantly more reliable.

Also easier to debug and monitor... but you run your business to make developers happy right ?
There is also SuperMemo 18 (https://super-memo.com/supermemo18.html) which is from the same people as supermemo.com except it's a desktop app with way more features but also a much higher learning curve.

If you use SM and you use anki both for a significant amount of time it's not hard to see that SM leaves you with way less reps. Anki is based on the very first version of the SuperMemo algorithm (from ~1990 or so which was the first SRS algorithm ever) known as SM2. Current version of SM uses SM18.
There's more to it than just knowing it's broken. I want to know why and how it happened. Of stuff needs to be tested after a merge; that's how we discovered there was something wrong in the first place. But I don't want to redo the work that I already did; I want the merge to be correct. In this case, it seems the merge did something it should never have done, and it was not clear why this happened.

Still, the commits that were merged both still existed, to it was easy to redo the merge. I shudder to think what would have happened if this had been a rebase; then the original commit might have been gone.
Basically to drive down the cost of payload mass as much as possible. First you have to build a lot of rocket to get anything up into space. If it only launches 1kg of payload, that's going to be a very expensive kilogram. As you continue to scale the rocket up, assuming you can design for a decent payload ratio, the amount of cargo capacity increases and the cost per kilogram drops.

The alternative is we either go extinct on earth or find another earth-like planet to go to, which won't have humans on in and may not be able to support us any better than mars
When my AT&T sim was swapped a short while back, AT&T told me the same thing about a retail store. The support person you talked to believes this because that’s what the computer system says. I even received an automated SMS a week later asking for feedback about my “retail experience” at that location.

The law enforcement task force I spoke to told me that in reality, the swappers have remote access to the admin portal and just fill out a field with a store close to your billing address to make it look legit. Nobody was ever at that retail location.

All of the metadata about the swap is manually entered by the attacker. The support people don’t understand that and just read off of their screen. Even the automated systems are fooled.
Spaced repetition and the learning curve is quite a bit older than supermemo.
