Two screens looks very promising, however im not sure how comfortable is inovative num pad with touchpad. Also the second screen, having in mind that second screen is almost horizontal. Also i noticed that there are no official linux support. Maybe someone tested?
Thanks.
Thanks @dang. I also read your linked thread. I now better understand your original comment and HN.
Software engineers have the technical and cognitive skills to become executives but lack the social skills --> only because they didn't have to learn them, but they definitely can learn them

Software engineers are well-paid and have pretty good work-life balance --> True. One of my friends moved to Silicon Valley to start a company. He's now at Google with a $300K salary and has no incentives to start a business. I do believe though that busyness is a bug, not a feature, of executives' workday
And most of the time isn't, right? I have seen project managers keeping a whole development team of 10+ developers busy for entire sprints to "cut down the infra costs", without realizing that the dev team costs 500+ kEUR/quarter, while the hosting costs were something like 7/8 kEUR/month.

PIA (before acquisition) said in lawsuit that they can't provide IP address because they don't save.
It always amazes me how people are so free to judge other's situations.

It's great that your web app only costs $10/month but others may have web apps that are more computationally intensive e.g. video processing or ML inference etc or simply can't join everything they need at runtime.

And it's great that you're willing to deny those 50k users a day access to your service when that cheap VPS inevitably falls over. But others may be monetising that traffic and will want a HA solution so their revenue isn't impacted.

All of those add complexity and cost to an architecture.

We already heard all of this rhetoric in 2016. "It's not rigged, you're just losing", "why am I not 50 points ahead", "at least I will go down as a president", etc. In the end, the only side that had any issues accepting the election results were the Democrats.
There are reprocessing methods that are less sensitive to proliferation, such as pyroprocessing where you never have pure plutonium.

Still, there are risks, and I agree it makes sense for reprocessing facilities to be government controlled.

That being said, without also deploying breeder reactors at scale there's not a lot of benefit from reprocessing.
Seems like DigitalOcean bill should be $10-20/month max.

Metabase is cool but you could probably use Mode Analytics free tier.
Right! And that's really a great point, it can be a positive for individuals. Except that for society it has negative value.
This is like opening a mine, extracting all the resources, and leaving behind a poisonous scab on the earth. (Not coincidentally the way I picture MZ.)
The way I interpret the lottery ticket hypothesis is that you don't actually need the full sized networks (with their structure and parameters) in order to perform well at some tasks (when comparing performance against larger networks). I think everyone agrees that most neural networks are highly overparameterized as successful distillation efforts have shown.

However, this doesn't directly make my point about sample efficiency of today's algorithms compared to humans less valid. Although what I'll give you is that with smaller networks the required sample size is expected to shrink (due to curse of dimensionality). Although the expressiveness is clearly harmed by the reduced parameter count/altered network structure which possibly reduces the ability of the network to perform well for certain tasks.

I think it's important to clearly make a distinction between the required amount of computation and the number of data samples that are necessary when talking about scaling up existing methods. Compute is "cheap", while data isn't.

As a side note, I think the usefulness of the lottery ticket hypothesis is mostly about the ability of random initialization to already give a hint about the quality of the 'prior' that is encoded by the network structure. Useful for less computationally intense architecture search as also suggested by the papers and a paper by Andrew Ng on this topic.
Well spotted. I just actually looked at my bills because of this comment. Turns out that I resized my droplets in mid-august so this month's bill will reflect the full/true cost.

I'm going to edit the article.
I am a fan too. But eventually the absence of an integrated pointing device was a deal breaker. If I have to use a mouse, the ergonomics of the keyboard are only part of the equation because I can’t use a mouse in my lap.
Thank you. I don't get why this is not considered as an option anywhere.
I'd also really be interested what kind of domain costs USD10 PER MONTH. With my registrar, even .co and .sh cost at most USD60 per year...
You can downsize, just start at a small size and don't increase storage (choose ram and cpu only when upgrading), then you can resize smaller if you want.

Getting to a place where you don't care as you can rotate in new instances at whatever spec you want is even better though.
Running my websites costs whatever electricity my server takes, but it also serves me as a filestorage so it'd be on anyway, so I'm going for "the price of the domains"
What I meant was that to serve 55k users, perhaps using more efficient languages like C# or Java, would allow them to run on lesser spec machines.
> Plus Rust by design avoids all sorts of bugs leading to less tests imo.

This assertion on the amount to tests makes no sense at all. Tests are not about language features. Tests are about checking invariantes, checking input and output bounds, and checking behavior. Tests focus on the interface, not the implementation. Tests only work if test coverage is high.
Depends on how deeply record companies get their claws into broad tools. The government may not always have the competence to roll their own.
Try to mentally "restart" yourself. By this, I mean try to reset, at least temporarily, all of your thoughts: your problems, your future goals, your conceptions of your Self. If successful, you'll feel lighter, as if you were at the beginning of a journey and not midway. I think this feeling is universal and you probably know what I'm talking about. That rare moment when the world seems fresh and new. It's elusive but powerful.

Some methods that seem to work, for me at least, are: meditation, immersing yourself in a particular work of fiction (especially a sci-fi movie at the cinema), turning off your phone and Internet connection, and getting lost in a new city.

$30 dedicated from Hetzner can do this reliably enough for a non revenue generating blog, including blue green deploys, postgres, certs, cache, edge caches (Cloudflare I guess) and even Metabase (which admittedly can be a memory hog if you don't set it in the JVM).

I'v added this paragraph to the article:

the servers are oversized for the load we're currently seeing. The reason for that is that we tried to solve a production issue by increasing the server specs. It didn't solve the problem, and now we can't down-size the servers without re-provisioning them ️.
Hey Adam, I sent you an email.
Seems like a model could exist for an entrepreneur to create a subscription based licensing program for creators to use music in their streams.
Well, like in open source software we have licenses like MIT and WTFPL, in creative industries there's different Creative Commons licenses like CC0 or CC-BY-SA for example which would grant different usage rights in certain circumstances.

There's a lot of different mediums which supports sharing and searching for media under different CC licenses, I've tagged a majority of my SoundCloud releases for example with great success.

If we're talking about a whole site dedicated for openly licensed music and audio, freesounds.org comes to mind.
Don't do blue-green deploys when you have no revenue. Downtime costs you nothing and at 3,400 visitors a day you'll be lucky to drop a single request while deploying.

How do you reconcile "heavy use" and straying from home row? Any serious who actually engages their keyboard in heavy use would be just as productive with a 60% keyboard, as they wouldn't move their hands from home row position to use the numpad or the arrow keys or anything. That's why for example Emacs uses Ctrl+{f,b,n,p} for navigation instead of the arrow keys.

If you want to provide uninterrupted service to your clients you’ll have to spend some $. You want to have redundancy, machines hosted in different different locations, backup prod servers, monitoring, analysis tools. Even if it is for 1k monthly users, if you want reliability - it will increase the costs.
As with every language it depends on the framework.

Based on the Techempower benchmarks:

You can find Java frameworks that are significantly than any of the Python ones. Or you can find ones that are significantly slower.
Splice is literally a sample shop, instead of buying from a certain company's web shop and paying for a whole sample pack at once, you can cherry pick sounds and just pay for what you need and mix and match several packs and company offerings at once.

They're under rather strict licensing terms though, no reselling as samples even if they're heavily modified for example.
It's a dupe because it's the same underlying story.

Different appearance, different materials, different weights, different build quality, different keyboard features, and so on. For example, some of the keyboards have hot-swappable key switches. Some people just like to experiment with switches. And also the quality of a keyboard affects how the keys will sound. LED lighting or no LED lighting. There are also different types of layouts within 60%. Non-standard backspace keys, right shift keys, etc. As an example, one of the keyboards here features a Fn key to the right of the right Shift key.

Lastly, these are a form of self-expression mixed with personal comfort tastes.

Also, pricing of Digital Ocean seem to be quite steep for larger machines. E.g., Hetzner offers AMD Ryzen 3600 dedicated servers with 64GB RAM and 2x 512GB SSD for 42.16 per month including VAT.

Or if you really insist on a VPS, you can get the same configuration with double the disk space at Hetzner for 15.38 per month at Hetzner.

I have a Hetzner VPS and it has been rock-solid.

Very small scale but sounds promising. I've been taking 2000UI/day for few years now since my doc found my vitamin D was pretty low, it's now far up in the normal range now. I didn't let him give me the massive doses that they want to give you for low vitamin D, and opted for just starting to take the supplement, when I went back in 3 months later everything was in the normal range. I don't actually get much sunlight as a den dwelling programmer so it's the next best thing.

>protect home grown e-tailers

Protection for them has been around when the previous government was there too. FDI norms were eased only in the fag end of 2012.

Additionally, I agree with protecting home grown e-tailers. Now, perhaps the rules favor Ambani, but breaking up large conglomerates is a different problem.

From the perspective of enacting sound laws and regulation, restricting outside e-tailers and promoting home grown ones is always good, atleast until India is a lot more developed.

> Due to stuoid red tape, Tesla took Gigafactory plans to China.

And thereby ending up supporting an authoritarian regime that mocks human rights, and is actively participating in genocide.

Tesla went to China for cheap labor. Do you think ill-treatment of workers in Chinese factories will be reported by "Independent media" in China?

>anyone can start a startup in India. They can take Amazon AWS servers and domain from Godaddy and there won't be an issue

I don't get it. Yes, anyone can actually make a startup in India, they can hire AWS servers, get domains from GoDaddy and there wont be an issue. I know because I did the same.

>anyone can apply for a business license and start a manufacturing plant

Technically true, but it's still difficult. Even in countries like US, you have to grease a few hands to get things done. Sure, it may be the hands of a Senator, but still you have to do it. I would say the exception is Silicon Valley, but examples like those are few and far between. Even SV spends a lot for lobbying.

>You blisfully and maliciously ignore that the entire govt machinery has been working overtime to favour Ambani Adani.

Far fetched.

>Yeah and there can be many businesses which you can set up. Sure, all you ought to do is as for a license. Sure, govt won't twist rules to favour JioBattery and JioElectricCar

Can you run a business in your country without a license from the govt?

Govt. may twist rules, but the rules currently placed are not twisted. I never said they cannot be twisted in the future.
Contabo VPS: 4 Cores, 8GB RAM for 5€/mo. That should be able to handle the whole thing with plenty of room to scale. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I don't see what all those cloud providers that are so much more expensive bring to the table.
That caught my eye too. Not only that, the service being used here charges more for wildcard LetsEncrypt certs somehow.

I'm very confused what the value add is for this service.

If you look at improving your health, I am right.

Most people think you should prevent getting cancer (as I did before). But actually, you should put more emphasis on preventing hearth and artery disease, since it is the cause of more deaths! (I hope this last part is cleared out).

Plus, it is also more clear on how to prevent that, than how to prevent cancer.

I don't disagree that another language/runtime could reduce the cost. But why do you value developer time at 0 USD? Unless this is a hobby, the hourly rate of a developer is higher than that monthly Digital Ocean bill.

I beg to differ.

In my experience, the complicated setups that are justified by the argument of "reliability" have more downtime then a single VPS. The reason is probably that there are more moving parts and more has to be maintained / can go wrong.

These days, a single VPS in the right datacenter has excellent uptime.

2) Europeans have nothing to add to any debate about American elections since Europe is a navel-gazing, socialist, depressed has-been with a self-inflicted migration crisis.
If you haven't tried it, the "Virtual Machine Manager" GUI [1] is also surprisingly usable on Desktop Linux. I use it with both Windows and Linux images, and getting it to work with the usual guest extension niceties is straightforward.

From what I remember, getting VirtualBox or VMware to launch and run properly after a few months of automatic upgrades and not launching your images for a while was always kind of a gamble. With libvirt, everything just seems to work, and your images are just ready to go when you need them.

It’s normal in that every country would do it given half the chance. That doesn’t make it okay, and it doesn’t mean that countries on the other end should roll over and take it. I’m just saying we shouldn’t sit here gobsmacked that it’s happening. We should assume it’s happening at all times and beef up defenses precisely because it is so normal.

The US absolutely does it, has done it and will do it again. That doesn’t mean chinas not defending themselves against it.
