The reason shooting for completeness is not ideal is because it’s usually a waste of time. Very rarely can founders guess the compete solution to their customers problem out of the gate. It’s the mismatch between what the company imagines the complete solution should look like versus integrating customer feedback to make “complete” solution more people will pay for.
Still no cheap ARM board with SATA3 support.

Still no ARM board with a decently powerful CPU, SATA3, NVME, PCI-E x16, USB3.2, and DDR4 slots.

It looks like ARM boards are pretty much the same, unless you want them for a pretty niche application.

Also, software support is not quite the best.
Sure but the same is true about performance in general.

The HackMD version of CodiMD[1] also supports this, letting you collaboratively edit a PlantUML diagram embedded in a Markdown document.

[1]: https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd

Some improvement suggestions:

* Implement shareable URLs (the session name should be in the URL).
* Don't immediately prompt a session name but explain the purpose of the website.
* Link the PlantUML documentation.
But the article goes on to say that "common human activity that aren’t represented among these listed SSEs: watching movies in a theater, being on a train or bus, attending theater, opera, or symphony"

But what I found interesting about the article (and it is long read) is his hypotheses on mode of transmission. Which is the "direct ballistic delivery of a large-droplet Flüggian payload from face A to face B" and that means that interventions like the "expanded use of masks and social distancing is critical" And we should also speak softly, avoid “coughing, blowing and sneezing,” or exhibiting any kind of agitated respiratory state in public, and angle their mouths downward when speaking."

But he does warn that he is a Computer Scientist rather than having any medical background.
It's complicated. Basically, when you are playing Firefox, there is a lot of memory copying going on.

If you download your youtube videos beforehand using youtube-dl and play using omxplayer, the result is virtually glitch free.

A better option is to install the YouTube extension on top of Kodi on Raspbian. You might also need to disable the new OpenGL driver as well. Once that is done, Kodi (which has Pi GPU patches in place) can play YouTube at 1080p30 beautifully.

Intel Clear Linux to Divest from the Desktop, Focus on Server/Cloud Workloads
Nah, I've done some audio related challenges in the past that were cool. I added that note because I find it interesting that development positions want the skill despite it not being a CS thing.
They would rather establish a framework of proof that they control rather than have a more onerous and inflexible one imposed upon them by the EU. When large companies do due diligence to show accountability, it's less likely that a government will try to force them to do it.

There are historical reports about supernovae where they were visible during the day for a few weeks. I guess it would look just like another bright star. Makes me wonder what the minimum safe distance is.
In most cases it's fine since Linux distros for arm have existed for a while. Getting proprietary vendors to support it is a different question.
This is how we can say mouse movements can lead to privacy violation: mouse movements as such doesn't contain PII like name, zipcode or gender. But when mouse movements are run through the machine learning algorithm, it can NOT only help you to identify the person (mouse dynamics are behavioral factors and you can map across different sites. By mapping across different sites, you will learn basically the same person is surfing these three sites and valuable information for advertising world, as an example) but you can analyze the mouse movements to identify your health issues. Now you take this information and link to other publicly available databases to identify the person!! So, overall, if stripe doesn't sell this data to analyze other patterns like id or health issues, its fine...but guaranteeing it is hard.

So at Unknot.id, we learn similar patterns to detect fraud but using smartphones. But we make sure, only needed results (that is fraud or not) can be achieved and not his health or other privacy related.
With a total energy output of 10^44 Joules, it seems odd to exclaim over "500 times brighter!" I guess supernovae all exist in a very narrow band of energies?

How I Knew It Was Over
the ventilator hysteria is just of the examples of the irrational fear and irrational hope that people seem to get caught up in.

The next such fallacy is that of testing and contact tracing. As if that were a solution to anything at all ... That too will go the way of ventillator hope.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it will do absolutely nothing. It is not feasible at the scale that people are proposing it and it cannot possibly work without even more disruption than we already have. All it will do is push the disease into the winter when it will be more lethal.

The only rational solution is finding improvements in therapeutics. We cannot keep people from getting infected, but we should be able to keep people from dying of the diseases. And that is a far closer and more achievable goal than any other.

The virus already exhibits several characteristics that show that many people can easily handle it. Finding out what that is, and enhancing the same defenses in those that are at risk will be a quicker and more effective solution than all other factors combined: masks and lockdown, contact tracing etc. these "solutions" may buy some time right now, but at the same time massively slow down our progress studying the disease.
Remember how Telsa started by building skateboards before moving to scooters, bikes, then cars? No? Oh that's right, they started with cars, but outsourced the design and production of components that were not their core competency, then slowly replaced those outsourced designs until they had something entirely their own.

What product is complete when launched? I can't recall anything. Most of the products I know and love got to that point through a series of small, incremental, improvements over time. And this is exactly the foundation the MVP paradigm seeks to lay out: get something out the door that's useful, and get feedback from customers to make those incremental improvements.
That’s also true. I guess that the relative percentage of people you’d call wise increases with age.
I don’t want it as a drafting table, although I might use it that way; I want it as a computing experience.

You don't break critical infrastructure when it's needed the most, when what we have today is working "well enough" until a window of time presents itself when improvements can be made.

You manage risk through balancing security and business requirements. You mitigate the risk you can, you accept the risk you can't (or choose to defer).

Disclaimer: I work in risk. I have these conversations daily. When Cloudflare first published their RPKI marketing site, I thought it was an important issue until doing further research, and have since walked back my personal opinion (which was admittedly overzealous about RPKI initially) on the severity of the issue and the the timeline necessary for action to be taken.
I don't think there's any "perceived shit show" from the perspective of investors or management.

If you're referring to the treatment of warehouse workers over the past decade, Amazon pays them market rates, like pretty much every other business pays market rates. So Amazon can sell goods at the lowest price possible. It's not a "shit show", it's a business strategy that has paid off.

If you're upset about how workers are treated, bring it up with Congress to set minimum wage and employee treatment laws that will apply to all businesses and warehouse fulfillment centers, not just Amazon.
"By using a VPN application like WARP, all you are doing is shifting who is able to read your traffic to someone else."

Isn't that the case with all VPNs? One of the most commonly VPN use cases is to create an encrypted tunnel between your connection and another server (VPN) so that it looks like your traffic is originating from that server.

Which VPN(s) doesn't allow another server to read your traffic? I thought a VPN connection has to have a VPN server which does this?
How is the "Man in the Middle" concern different from any other CDN, like Akamai? At this point, I assume any major web presence is fronted by a CDN.
It is very likely that you have rules blocking the JavaScript on the site.
Did Bezos care about warehouse worker safety when he ran things day to day? I thought there have been sporadic reports of warehouse worker mistreatment going back years, like that story about the one warehouse that had to have an ambulance parked outside to pick up workers who got heat stroke because it was cheaper than installing A/C. (No idea if that story's true. Just, this stuff has been circulating for a while. The new stories are no more or less credible, so I'm not changing my opinion of what's happening on the ground.)
Eben Upton AMA at Pi 4 launch:

Q: The SD-card speed increase is very welcome! Was an eMMC or M.2 slot considered?

A: We don't think there's a compelling advantage to socketed eMMC over SD. M.2 would have been fun, but we didn't like the form factor considerations, and had no spare PCIe lanes. I think USB 3.0 SSDs are the way to go for high-performance storage.

The other thing that was never mentioned is that a ventilator requires trained staff. An anesthesiologist, an operator and likely a nurse which also are in short supply so adding a ton of additional respirators makes little sense.
Because x86 emulation will be no go for Photoshop and alike, can Apple simply ship with both x86 and ARM CPUs in the same laptop?

I tend to trust Cloudflare with this info
more than I trust the website itself

That does not change the point of the website. Your browser tells you that the traffic to somewebsite.com is encrypted. While in reality the traffic to cloudflare is encrypted. somewebsite.com can see your data anyhow. But now on top of that, cloudflare can. And if the traffic between cloudflare and somewebsite.com is not encrypted, there might be additional parties seeing your data.
people who have strongly negative opinions about cloudflare are so confusing to me. literally everything they do has been done by akamai for a decade, and if you combined akamai and cloudflare and fastly and the next five biggest CDNs combined you still wouldn't even come close to touching the scope of what Amazon, FB, Google, Apple, and MS do.

Its like someone freaking out at whitecastle over the dangers of fast food and the environmental impact of beef. You're not necessarily wrong... just your aim is so wierd.
And if they can’t do it in good times. Like how much better than 2019 the economy needs to be to unwind more?
Not taking sides, just trying to clarify. I think there's a place for eMMC and SD but you're right chip quality and controller implementation is key.
Not to mention their treatment of workers, whether it's in the warehouse or the ip restrictions on white collar employees.

I would argue you're talking about a situation where a different skillset than was traditionally selected for was what actually became valuable. I'll concede that you could have a really really good driver that can't give useful feedback on their particular performance. Cognitive load is extremely high and they may not remember what something felt like as they were going. However, that same driver in the passenger seat could tell you what you're doing wrong with tremendous nuance: entering a turn too early, speed too slow, suspension not in the right position because you didn't set it up right when braking, etc.
Cardinal Sarah's Warning to the West
The money the fed injects into the financial system is staying in the financial system. Too many dollars chasing too few equities could result in ‘equity inflation’=stock market bubble. (I am using the word equity as a symbol for any financial instrument) But none of this money ( or maybe just a token fraction of it) is reaching the real world. The purpose of this quantative easing is to prop up values of the warehouses of wealth. We still have massive unemployment but the firms doing the layoffs have stable stock prices . What is really amazing is that we live in a world where Marie Antoinette can flaunt her wealth and at the same time use that as an example of ‘free speech’
Get Your Plan Personalized Keto
I am specifically complaining about WordPress. Anyone could make a server side dynamic application that applies proper caching headers to work with a CDN. Anyone could, but WordPress specifically did not. It's an uncacheable mess by default and caching plugins just barely make it useable.

Using a static site generator is basically just a way of ensuring that the pages are properly cached by the brute fact that they've been dumped out on disk. It's not strictly necessary for a well designed system, but it raises the floor because even in the worst case, the pages are static files.

For many public facing sites, dynamic applications aren't strictly necessary. If you're just hosting a PDF of an Excel spreadsheet of permitted job categories, you don't need a dynamic application. Again, a well designed app would already be hosting this through S3, but you can't trust things to be well designed when made by a contractor with no technical oversight.
Is it not plausible that this is just a concerned person speaking out? Why go straight for the most cynical take?

Absolutely none of that is Amazon's fault. Your complaints aren't relevant here.

Gold is currently lower than it was at its peak and subsequent crash in 2012. There's no evidence it will ever come back to those all time highs, and definitely not fast enough to outpace total market investments. There's no "trend" to see here.
Books also often arrive damaged due to the bizarre way they get packed.
Outsourcing Companies
Are there any outsourcing companies that are actively hiring developers at the moment?
I agree. I find myself dissatisfied with Amazon, but whenever I order from somewhere else I end up regretting it half the time. Amazon's making a lot of mistakes, especially with knockoff crap and comingling inventory. But they're still better than walmart.

I ordered a "survival" order from Walmart to restock my pantry back in early March after returning from a long trip. I made the mistake of including milk and some grocery items. Not only did I have to pay the delivery, but it took two weeks and by then they didn't have any of the things I ordered in stock anymore.

At that point I temporarily had a vehicle so I just went to Costco.
My guess is more attention and focus on snaps and increasing neglect maintaining the deb repo.
The natural reading of the URL is that the author will expose some surprising way that being a customer of Cloudflare is unsafe.

Instead, there's a mixture of the well-known (but valid!) MITM concerns and a hodgepodge of other crap. It would be better titled "my complaints about Cloudflare" but that's not good enough clickbait.

This deserves to be flagged.

What problems exist that only the founder can solve and require his involvement? or is that just what he wants to do?
To be clear, I misspoke in my closing sentence, and intended to say "It seems likely to me that the political reality in America would prohibit banning private insurance" -- but got mixed up in my negatives and now it's too late to edit.

That said, answering your question, they would presumably not ban it because a) the aforementioned arguments upthread make it pretty silly to do, and because b) it seems impossible to me that banning a wholly legal service just because it competes with the government would ever be deemed as constitutional.

Well, not ever -- but not today, and not with the direction that the Supreme Court has been taking for decades now in regards to government power. Licensure seems possible, but I think even prohibitive licensure intended to dissuade private entities from competing with the government would be tossed out, and we already have such programs for insurance providers anyway.

I trust cloudflare more than my ISP. And regarding dns I trust next dns over 1.1.1.1. And I trust 1.1.1.1 more than 8.8.8.8 which is ran by ads company. I would like to thanks cloudflare for their service.
I guess they just cut their affiliate commissions too.
