I would suggest AWS Lightsail. Easy to setup, flexible and scalable solutions including load balancing, CDN, and static IPs. Lightsail is a simple layer on top of the AWS complex suite of services; so it removes much of the complex work. They have ready to install blueprints for popular stacks. I've done many tutorials on AWS Lightsail and show how you can use their service for single site to multi-site hosting with variety of web hosting tools and services.

The "truthiness" of debate has become toxic. It isn't possible or healthy for everyone to have the same interpretation. The demand for this impossible standard is disturbing.
In Julia, there is one package manager and it gets things right. https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/ It's super nice to have no fragmentation when it comes to packaging. In Pkg, package states are immutable, always reproducible, and quick. Julia packages that have binary dependencies usually build them all for every platform using the binary builder infrastructure (https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil). It makes cross platform installation robust and testable, and suuuper quick. Pkg really is the rolls royce of package managers.
He does. Also Rogan himself often glances at Jamie, his assistant, as to say; I’m I right about that fact, right?
Serious question: what happens when you take one of these fuel pellets and blow it up and disperse it in the atmosphere / water supply, either accidentally or on purpose?

Have they actually designed a solution or is this a fundamental safety risk with all nuclear fuels? All I see addressed is proliferation / reprocessing which is a different thing.
One result of the research bonanza is discovering just how effective masks are. Research is pouring out showing that N95 mask effectiveness exceeds all expectations.

It used to be assumed that N95, especially unfitted, had an effectiveness between 0-50%. And that surfaces play a large role in transmissions.

It's increasingly obvious that neither are true.

Hell, the CDC came out and said the epidemic might be over after 4-6 weeks of universal mask usage. And that masks may be more effective than the vaccine. Thats hyuge, and shows just how idiotic certain people in the US government were with initial guidance on masks.
A 5nm 300mm die is pretty close to 50B transistors. The whole chart is based on a 90B transistor 610mm die at 5nm that costs around $200. Hence why the die cost of 90nm implies wafer scale level of transistors for the per chip cost.
The difference is, chrome allocates what it needs upfront, and that's all it uses. Firefox keeps increasing its usage.

That means that when I want to leave a website open on my server for a month, I use chrome because I know exactly how much memory it's going to use. If it was firefox, at the end of the month even the swap would be filled.
The NVidia drivers are aware of which application is running and apply different profiles for popular applications. But I think in this case it was more that the drivers locked out particular APIs (e.g. overlay-related) that were used primarily by CAD applications rather than outright locking out those applications.
This is what snake oil scams are. They make you think that it's a cure, when in reality it doesn't matter to the salesman whether it is or isn't. If the scammer happens upon the cure for COVID, that's lucky for them, but that isn't their goal. That's why we have regulatory agencies (who theoretically don't have a profit incentive to push false narratives) that control the trial periods.

The unfortunate reality is that people who are affected by the (very real!) fear of becoming infected, disabled, or killed by the virus might make decisions about risks which they haven't been informed. In this case, for example, there may be a risk that there are downsides and absolutely no upside. That's what the testing periods are for.

Please keep in mind I'm not talking about this specific instance. Here is looks like it's mostly political puffery and the vaccine is going through trials as it should.
Last time I looked, FilePizza failed on large files, seemingly because it wanted to pull them entirely into RAM. Has that changed?
Here's how someone in the field recently explained it to me...

Let's say you have a vaccine that appears effective (great, right?) You give it to 1000 willing test subjects, and most become immune (fantastic, right?). Then, three to six months later 50 of the subjects go into terminal liver failure due to their body's immune response to the vaccine (as determined by their genetics.)

It's not just whether a vaccine 'works' for you, it's whether it's effective AND safe over the huge genetic pool that is humanity (as measured over a sufficient period of time). This kind of stuff comes up all the time with drug trials, and it's why there's a process, and things can't be rushed.
Uncle Bob makes some interesting points about software testing and scientific methodology. His main point is that science is mostly not about proving things correct but about attempting to find ways to falsify an hypothesis by doing experiments. Failing to do falsify means the hypothesis is more likely to be true at some level. It could still be wrong or imperfect and theories are often refined or replaced by new theories. Science is about trying to find ways to prove things wrong and occasionally failing to do that in interesting ways. The more you fail at that, the better a theory becomes. If you succeed (by failing), you refine your theory and run more experiments.

Software testing is exactly the same. The more tests you have, the more evidence you build up that the theory that the software is incorrect in some way may be wrong. If you find out about a new way it could still be wrong, you write a test to prove that wrong. And then if you are right about that, you fix the software.
I see your point, but as a non-American who's flooded with videos of random Americans walking around supermarkets carrying semiautomatic rifles, I'm not sure what you mean with "tightly regulated militia".
For the software part, WLED [0] really does just about anything you’d want to do with those led strips.

I drive the wemos d1 and led’s from a 12V battery with a 12-5V stepdown converter. I attach the 5V to the esp and the led’s. The 3.3V logic level works on the first led and is repeated at 5V to all subsequent led’s.

So yes, you want that. But how about the next question? The dependencies of your dependencies may conflict with different versions of themselves. Because nobody thought 'what happens if there is another version of this code running in a different namespace'. And nobody tested it, so you are trusting to luck rather than any sort of rigor. Thankfully, the conflicts when they happen are usually fairly obvious (two copies of the connection pool built into your database driver, or a crash on startup because the run-once initialization ends up being run twice). But it could be more subtle, like multiple versions of the dependency that handles logging not sharing a mutex and your logs end up interleaved or corrupt under load.
It's not a whim. For a software developer it could easily be used 8 hours/day 5 days/week. Or more.
They have a lot of NRE and packaging costs to recoup. And room for a decent profit margin if you won wafers (the companies all bid against eachother, not just in price but in volume too to get foundary time).
I've seen a paper provide a natural selection model of bugs: If a bug occurs frequently enough, someone will bother to fix it.

Hence, popular software has less bugs and becomes more popular. Using popular software in a different way will trigger unfound bugs.

Security bugs were special, as nobody triggers them by default. There is no selection pressure to make them disappear.
BabbleLabs is the closest but they got acquired by Cisco.

Google Meets also has similar tech https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9919960?hl=en

Whisper.ai has very similar processing but they are also focused on hearing aids.
> Roast potatoes, cooked in the fat of the roast, till they are crispy. Carrots and onions roasted to caramel.

Roasted vegetables can be nice; boiled vegetables not so much, and those are more closely associated with British tradition.

> Juicy meat that falls off the bone.

Roasting is the least effective way to achieve this. Dried-out meat is very much the norm, and frankly, burnt meat would be significantly less bad.
I've honestly fallen back to HTTP/SFTP.

I just rent a VPS, temporarily host the file on there, and give whoever it is a link.

Edit: If my threat model were to include protecting the contents of the file from the VPS provider I would probably encrypt it client side with GPG or something similar.
I used to eat out every day, because who wants to carry food to work along with a laptop, and then brave the kitchen microwave etiquette. Now I'm home I can just go down to the kitchen and pop something in the microwave, or make a delicious ad-hoc cheese plate with prosciutto and figs (literally yesterday), depending on my mood.

> Can we rephrase that as:

> > if you don’t sell in the way that 95% of customers want to buy, you sacrifice about 95% of that income

> Then it seems obvious what the problem is?

Yes. The problem is that the distribution channel that owns 95% of the market (by most definitions a monopoly) is forcing publishers to use DRM even if they (or the authors) don't want it, locking in users to the distribution channel's platform.

Now, sometimes lock-in is a side effect of some feature or attribute that is at least ostensibly user-focused (eg. network effects: you're locked into a social network because all your friends are there, and getting your personal data out doesn't help with that), but DRM doesn't fit into that bucket. All else being equal, no user actually prefers content that they can enjoy in limited ways, for less time, on fewer of their devices, with less forward compatibility and future-proofing, etc.

During the '90s the cargo-cult argument that DRM was necessary to convince content owners worried about piracy to allow their albums/movies/books to be distributed in new digital formats and channels in the first place could still be made with a straight face, but that isn't really the case any longer.
> Is there a chance of that happening or does it already happen?

Nah.

Every Facebook employee I've met, every one that I'm reading, they are sincere about what they're angry about.

It's a bad look, to assume some Facebook employee's opinions are being co-opted by... fucking Google? Apple? That's ridiculous.

I'm not even going to speculate why anyone questions some random Facebook employee's sincerity.

Instead I offer: Imagine if someone told you, every opinion you had, all the time, talked over you or told you to shut the fuck up and said, "Oh you're getting co-opted by Google, this is exactly what they want you to do, 'destroy our culture.'" And then, in the same breath, that guy defends, breathlessly, some idiot outraged over the removal of master/slave nomenclature, or some idiot trying to mainsplain crackpot sex difference theories to his female coworkers.

C'mon, you'd be mad as hell, it's so utterly ridiculous.
If the climate is such that the employees are so passionate about politics, is it at all possible that zero employees have their thumb on the scale in terms of using their position to nudge towards their desired election result?

That seems like a bigger issue. If I am an activist and I poison the enormous dataset that's being fed to a ML model, is anyone even going to notice?
I don’t think they need to require it - you’d be crazy otherwise because you have to pay the multimillion dollar cover charge (to make the masks).

Are the "games as a service" games adding significant code after launch? I think most of the performance critical stuff is in the engine and core game loops. Content packs and seasons aren't likely to change those core bits, and instead be more assets and scripting intensive.

I had the same thought. Makani had an interesting idea but the reliability wasn't there -- even if they had all of the problems worked out, the system having only one tether and such a fragile glider would have been inherently unreliable.

That said, it might be easier in space because there's less atmosphere to worry about (not nothing though, debris and micrometeoroids would probably pose a problem in the long run)
Many cultures frown on turning dinner time into debate time. It's been that way for generations. They talk about politics among family and friends or people with similar opinions.
I wish you were joking, but I know you’re not, because Americans have been censored and lied to their whole lives. In fact, the Cold War had already came and went at that point. “Free speech” has always been an American myth.
There is also Celtic history in what is now Spain, France, Italy... They were some of the peoples I was describing being assimilated into Rome. The current Spanish community of Galicia (the bit of Spain just above Portugal) has its name derived from Romans describing Celts living there. The "-gal" part of the name Portugal also derives from a reference to Celts.

I think I should add part ( if not majority ) of the reason Google started developing Chrome was because the initial Firefox 4 vision, e10s, and its expected performance improvement didn't deliver.

I work better with it.

My standard workflow is to keep notes about what I want to do at my day job in a TODO note, and about what I did in a Journal - $date note (each day a new journal note).

Then anytime I do something new or I complete some weird or complex procedure, I write a note about it. And if possible I make it public.

I end up being on top of all my responsibilities quite more easily.
It'll be even more efficient soon, when the backdoors come.

You have a good grasp on one perspective, what I would call the purely pragmatic business-owner perspective.

There is another (perhaps flawed) perspective, let's call it the idealistic engineer's perspective. This perspective notices the vestigial godaddy remnants. The flawed DB schema fragments from two refactorings ago which stubbornly survive. The fact that the site goes down for 30 seconds every time someone ships a change to production. The fact that shipping frequently is discouraged because of this. The overly aggressive cache invalidation strategy which causes 30% more DB load. The fact that no one is monitoring the DB load. The API endpoints with 4,000ms of latency. The fact that this will never be fixed because you are way too deep in bed with a poorly chosen framework and ORM.

All of these things can be justified from a business perspective as "not worth the effort to fix". Customers aren't leaving, revenue isn't dipping. It's fine. Just focus on the sprint.

But on every engineer's internal balance scale of "should I stay or should I go", all of these things get noticed. Each one adds a pebble to the "leave" side of the scale. For your talented engineers, two pebbles.

Don't let too many pebbles pile up.

I 100% guarantee you there are people who will call Nvidia support (yes, they will literally dial +1-800-797-6530 on a phone like it's 1972) to complain about broadcast. Some people are unbelievably entitled, and think that no matter what it says on the box if they paid good money for it then it should by God do whatever stupid ass thing they want it to do.
My physics knowledge is quite poor, but I've always wondered if it was possible to use the rotation of the earth as some kind of alternator in conjunction with an orbital station. Is that idea fundamentally ignorant? Or is it something that has been toyed with before?

Technically sandwiches are often sold at a loss and are just there to sell customers on the high-margin items like drinks and fries. So you're partly right but it doesn't really make for a motivation to increase sandwich size without limit. They'd still rather sell smaller sandwiches.
