I did move to Linode a while ago... their hardware per dolar is even a better deal. It feels DigitalOcean derailed at some point in the past, not the same company that got us all to like them in the first place.
I think "prepping" can be generically any act of preparing ("I'm prepping for the new deployment," "I'm prepping for my trip to Mexico", "I'm prepping for the show tonight").

I have heard the term "prepper" used pretty much exclusively for people who prepare for societal collapse, though.
It's a huge mess. The ISP I'm talking about is actually our power company as well, so they have internet service everywhere they provide power service. Thanks to telecom lobbying, some folks in Congress, and the courts, if you happen to live across the street from where they provide power, you can't get internet from them, even though they have the desire and capability to provide it to you.
As a father, I generally agree with what you both are saying regarding being conservative with tech choices on delicate areas such as babies, but I‘d also add that 99% of situations of my baby making random noises (that also trigger a baby monitor) are not something that are going yo have an impact on the baby long term. Most times my baby has lost the pacifier in the dark, and finds it before I reach upstairs (or annoyingly, between me waking up, and me reaching my bedroom door).

Also there’s the scary converse: some important things do not make a noise, such as a baby suffocating in her sleep.

For us, our daughter got sick and vomited everywhere once. Of course, the baby has no idea what's happening, so it's scary as well as uncomfortable.

That was a cry I remember.
I miss those days and Pascal too.
The original people behind Studio C created a show called Freelancers, I believe it's on Youtube. It's much like the original series, but with more continuity.
It is like anything else. It is just a tool. I think getting rejected in person would be a lot more depressing than just being ignored online.

When I was a user, I met a lot of people outside of my town and social circle. I dated a few here and there for quite a while. It isn't magic but it can be a controlled way to meet other people.
Yes, this is an issue, I avoid it by making it a rule for that either I nightly features and none of my dependencies do, or at most one of my dependencies do and I do not.
Does that mean that you don’t actually know?
I'm not a psychologist, but I'm pretty sure attraction is in the top 2 "need-to-haves" of a relationship. While yes, it's shallow, it's only shallow because we evolved to have this bias in the most primitive parts of our brains, which means it's important to a successful existence.
ISPs May Be Helping Hackers to Infect You with FinFisher Spyware (2017)
This is an important conversation and I can't help but think that it is repeatedly drawn in predictably valley-minded directions.

As a responsible developer your use case is likely: "I want to install package X, and know that my customers are receiving and installing that package when they perform a build"

The fact that individuals cannot self-host content has been held back by the limitations of DNS (content addressing) and IPv4 (routability) for a long time now.

What I ask is this: if you as a developer were able to self-host the libraries and applications you offer to others -- regardless of whether they're open source or proprietary -- would that not solve most of these perverse incentive situations?

- The bandwidth costs would be yours, but that would allow you to find a charging model that works

- If your software became extremely successful - beyond your own ability to pay for the bandwidth - then the companies and individuals who rely upon your software would be incentivized to step in to foot the bill

- Data about software adoption and usage would be de-rigueur shared with the providers who offer the bandwidth for it

- We would not be reliant (in a community sense, but also in a day-to-day operations sense) on the benevolent albeit often-loss-leading hosting of centralized repositories

SuiteSparse switched from GPL to LGPL about a year ago if that makes a difference (for the couple of components I was looking at anyway).
Which is why we can now watch our protections and human rights and other such vanish into the distance. Without the need to convince dozens of other countries to join in, the UK can fuck itself over. The greatest threat to the liberties of the British people remains its own government and ruling classes.
I don't see a way to self host it. Are you willing to consider it? It seems like you're targeting a particular niche and not having it open source or self hostable seems like a mistake.
This is clearly an awesome project... for those with slightly less time and/or don't want to label their baby's cries, Motorola produce a range of WiFi connected baby monitors that have a lot (but admittedly not all) the required features.
Yes, they do. I also get the impression that many employers are looking for people who are more broadly interested in programming beyond C/C++/Java and are willing to pay.
I actually will.

I think its more that as better privacy laws come into place, its hard to make money through ads and give free stuff away so they are dialing things back for the long run.
I think I can vouch that women don't factor appearance in as much, at least once they get past 25 years or so. When I was younger I was nearly invisible to women. I ended a LTR of 7 years at 30 and the tables had turned significantly. I'm a similar build to when I was 22, I'm at best average attractiveness, now I'm bald too and yet online dating is like shooting fish in a barrel. I could line up more dates then I actually have free time to go on. I literally spend less than 3 weeks on any dating app as I'll tend to meet someone in that time who I have some sort of casual relationship with for a period of time and I tend to be monogamous even in casual relationships.
one day this will be as famous as youtube-dl
Can you elaborate on what some of those data privacy concerns are? I’ve centralized more and more in Notion and I’m admittedly a layperson when it comes to really understanding what questions I should even ask to judge the security of something like Notion.
No reason to feel bitter. It's just a broken system to milk as much money as they can from you. Stop using them and maybe also remove your Facebook account. Online dating is a waste of time.

Why is it dangerous to make celebrities out of scientists? If they make an important contribution should their names be left unsaid? Is the Nobel prize dangerous? Or having Einstein, Curie, etc. be widely known? I'm glad when I see scientists names highlighted rather than just actors and sports heroes.
My experiments with profile-guided optimization have been thus far disappointing.

Formulations I have encountered fail to respond to density of branch prediction failures, which can easily make a 2x difference in performance, as it does in one program I have. If the profile were to log branch prediction failures, it might be able to favor conditional moves over branches in cases where it is found that the result of the condition is not predictable, or the reverse.

I have another (in this case, Rust) program that demonstrates 2x performance difference based on the order in which exactly two instructions are emitted. Profile-guided optimization always chose the slower version. In that case, putting the instructions in the correct order enabled fusing two pairs of instructions and looping in one cycle. In the chosen order, the instructions did not fuse, and the loop took two cycles. That loop dominated execution time, for an almost 2x overall result. To choose correctly depends on the compiler knowing a great deal more about the target microarchitecture than can reasonably be expected of a compiler. (I know that it chose wrongly only because I had an exact C++ translation of the program, and the C++ compiler was sometimes persuaded to choose correctly.)

The point I make here is that the choices that optimizers make in response to profile information typically amount to much less than 10% of runtime, so are easily overwhelmed by effects of random microarchitectural details that are not practical for a production compiler to act on. What seems to the optimizer like a better choice may be, instead, radically worse. That they achieve any positive result, on average, with or without profile guidance, is impressive: a dancing bear.

The fact also means that we generally don't know how fast a program ought to run, or whether 2x gains from trivial choices remain to be discovered. This is fallout from the deal we have made with the Devil by relying so heavily on very complex runtime optimization mechanisms whose consequences we poorly understand.

Our programs run much faster with such hardware acceleration gimcrackery, but we can no longer reason about the effect of a prospective change, and must resort to measuring. Measuring, we don't know what effects are or are not in play in different runs. We don't even know all the choices available, as microarchitectures are always very sketchily documented. They will only ever become less predictable: what is faster on skylake may be persistently slower on mudlake.
Reviving Yo: How to Patch an APK
No they do not, that is the entire beauty of the pull-through mirror. For user code, as long as they keep referencing only to Dockerhub images, nothing needs to be changed (edit: except Gitlab CI configurations using docker:dind, which needs to be informed about the mirror).

The only downside is, as said, that it can't cache third party repos (quay.io comes to mind for people involved in k8s). For these, one has to mess with the resolv.conf and self-signed HTTPS certs for the Docker registry mirror.
Attraction is not just about appearances though. I don't know if you have ever experienced it, but I can assure you from personal experience it is completely possible to not find someone attractive at first meeting but become attracted to them as you get to know them.
This is going to come across as dismissive, I don't mean it to - I'm sure im missing something.
Is this more than a key value store with TTLs? Is it the UI over the top, the CMS that differentiates this from something like redis?
"To avoid this situation, there is a termination logic in the Executor processes whereby an Executor process terminates itself as soon as three consecutive heartbeat calls fail. Each heartbeat timeout is large enough to eclipse three consecutive heartbeat failures. This ensures that the Store Consumer cannot pull such tasks before the termination logic ends them—the second method that helps achieve this guarantee."

Neither this or the first method guarantees a lack of concurrent execution. A long GC pause or VM migration after the second check could allow the job to get rescheduled due to timeout. The first worker could resume thinking it still had one heartbeat left to execute before giving up on the job and it could've already been handed out to another worker in the meantime.
This is also a great idea. I really like the idea of having a tool to fetch the values from Config.ly and make that part of the build process. Thanks!
FYI, the menorah is actually the Mossad logo, though it doesn't change the point you're making. I've not watched the video yet, but as it's entitled "How Russia and Israel Destroyed the Intel Corporation" I'm not sure what else I'd be using as an intro graphic.

edit: Having watched about 10min of the video please don't take my defence of the title screen as defence of the contents of the video.
I just wanna cache all my bookmarks, I rarely look at them, but when I do go look at them, a good chunk tend to have rotted. It will be awesome to cache all my bookmarks and then have option to recursively cache the path I'm in. I don't want to cache every page I visit, 90% is junk.
Ah ok, I see what you're saying. I've seen the talk "Hoist your I/O" by Brandon Rhodes. He mentions that but I don't think he went into detail about commands/events or any of that stuff.
Well, you overlooked the battery side because of other features. But you have to remember that battery life for the average phone back then was measured in the tens of hours. I'd use to leave for the weekend with my Nokia without a charger. A decade later and smartphones aren't there yet. We've just learned to accept the pain :-)

How Google Analytics working in 2021
>Thats as far as I got... thoughts?

I worked for $large_dating_site years ago at their peak. We spent countless days weeks and months in meetings, spitballing all kinds of ideas, building prototypes, and coming up with "innovative" ideas for new dating app products. In the end it turns out the only thing users really want is a picture, a name, and a paragraph. Everything beyond that is in the realm of direct human interaction. Any kind of artificial friction you create between people that is any more complex than that just ends up being annoying and driving away casual users.

The problem with dating apps is not a technological one. It all comes down to who's using them. Wherever the women go, the men will follow. This is why Bumble has been so successful. Catering to women is the only way to have a successful dating app. At any given time, there's a curve of adoption for dating apps, and they all go through the same lifecycle. Cool/new/hip/cheap/free with a 50/50 young male/female ratio and no bots -> established/revenue generating/mature users with fewer women than men -> bot ridden scam with no real women. At any given time there are three major apps that fill these roles. Right now it's Hinge -> Bumble -> Tinder.
While I completely agree with their comments about these sites having a vested interest in showing you non-paying users, I have an issue with his conclusion.

> From the ad, we can see that just 86,140 of those subscribers get married, a mere 6.2% of the people who paid the company to find them a mate.

I know a lot of people who would easily drop $120 for a 6.2% chance of finding a partner in a year. These odds are not horrible.

Problem with solar panels is solvable: a special material to emit heat in a narrow infrared region, to which Earth atmosphere is transparent, is already invented in India. It will keep solar panels cool, which will increase their efficiency. Per watt price for this material is unknown for me.

Not only that, but a product that is financially self-sustaining is much less likely to get killed. The majority of products Google kills are the ones that doesn't get traction and run at a loss. If you want Photos to have a future, you'd be happy that it's trying to be cash positive.
I mentioned https://www.getoutline.com/ below that I haven’t tried but looks great. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who’s tried it.
I dunno if there is one. I get a lot of work done in logic.

I'm the cofounder of Lomorage, https://lomorage.com,
we believe the digital assets should be taken care by ourselves, store locally, backup locally, that is the primary, and cloud backup is the tertiary backup, a good complementary, the price of existing cloud storage is too high, and some of the companies(Shoebox, Canon Irista) doing the business gradually shutdown the services, this is a money losing business, it’s not the efficient way to manage huge amount of assets centralized (flicker CEO’s open letter sent last year confirmed this), they have to either make it more expensive, or make you the product. Cloud service is convenient for the user, people don’t need to buy expensive hardware, don’t need to be the professionals to maintain that, don’t need to worry about the energy fee to keep it run 24x7, but things are changing, single board computers are getting cheaper, more powerful and more energy efficient, storage are getting cheaper with larger capacity, software are getting more intelligent, people are having more and more concerns about the privacy, it’s now viable to host the Photo service, your private cloud, at your own place.
Very fair point - I should have said that I don’t see SF reverting to what it was characterized by most recently. I mean an unusual concentration of tech talent, sky high property values, and massive income disparities.
So your issue is with comparing the two of them? You believe that they are apples and oranges, one clearly bad and the other up for debate?

I will not pretend that we will look back on the TikTok debate and be appalled by it in the same degree but let's not forget that we considered internment camps to be "debatable" and Americans overwhelmingly supported them [0]. What we call "plausible, if debatable" now is not what future-us will necessarily call it. I think the original commenter was simply pointing out the extremes of the "power" behind using "national security" as justification.

GPU: don't need it except to drive 1 or 2 external monitors if I'm at my desk (thus small screen not an issue either)
CPU: 8 cores is fine for me
RAM: mainly for a local dev environment running in Docker

For reference I currently have a 2019 16" MBP, with 64GB of RAM and an 8 core i9. Right now I'm using ~45GB of it, usually its up around 50 or 55. The CPU is at ~10%. While I'm developing locally, the workloads are highly bursty but sometimes they will chew up almost all of the CPU for about 10 minutes.

I used to have a 2016 15" MBP with 16GB (4 core i7) and while I could still run everything, the RAM was always pegged. Before that I had a 2016 13" MBP with 16GB (2 core i7) (I actually swapped with a coworker because I thought his 15" had 32GB). With both of these the RAM was by far the limiting factor, and while the increased CPU cores have been nice, most of the time I haven't noticed. The RAM increase on the other hand is always noticeable. Thus, 16GB is a nonstarter for me.

Edit: To add, I prefer the 13" form factor when I'm not at my desk.
This reminds me of the home-built garage door opener that popped up here a few months ago. When it comes to safety devices, there are literally man-decades of expertise that has gone into these devices. It is never a good idea to rely on something you whip up yourself over the weekend or convince anyone else that they could.
Why didn't they just use Celery?
I'm not sure that "(unfairly)" is quite how I'd put it, but that's neither here nor there.

The main problem I see with this idea is if I knew that's how the app worked, I could upload a picture of someone from the "best looking" subset of my gender, probably get quite a few matches, and no user of the app would be able to call me out on my BS, because "oh, the AI must have been really terrible at understanding my preferences..." rather than "this user just uploaded a model's photo"
Comment checks out.
The problem with this is that while people are more than willing to pay high sums for actually giving them a partner worthy of a stable relationship leading to marriage, people don't want to pay to hedge on mutual app connections that may or may not evolve into a relationship.

The reality also is that once you know someone's name and if there truly is mutual chat interest you can just connect with them on other social media, and it's extremely hard for any dating service to avoid that.
The thing that stands out in the article for me is that it wasn't such a well hidden secret after all. From the article I got the impression that an interested party could actually know that devices were rigged and pour disinformation into the channel.

From the main article [1]:

> The engineer, Peter Frutiger, had long suspected Crypto was collaborating with German intelligence. He had made multiple trips to Damascus to address complaints about their Crypto products and apparently, without authority from headquarters, had fixed their vulnerabilities.

> Frutiger “had figured out the Minerva secret and it was not safe with him,” according to the CIA history. Even so, the agency was livid with Wagner for firing Frutiger rather than finding a way to keep him quiet on the company payroll. Frutiger declined to comment for this story.

So not only Syrian customers discovered the vulnerabilities and complained about them, they actually got them fixed and then the engineer was fired for that, so things likely got ugly. Possessing the knowledge about a compromised system that you know was sold to dozens of governments, is itself a valuable diplomatic asset. I have hard time imagining it was never acted upon by no one. Which makes me think that the customer who'd actually done his homework could discover a lot of suspicious stuff.

My notes were usually just copying whatever the prof wrote on the blackboard while lecturing. It was usually all I could do to keep up.

But reading the notes later would cause me to recollect what was said, and so the notes were very useful. Unfortunately, enough time has passed that I've forgotten what was said, and only have the notes.

It's like watching a sitcom with the sound turned off :-/

One advantage is that recording drum pad sessions would be more convenient on an iPad (you could just tap out a beat right on the screen). On the other hand, there's something to be said for high quality midi controllers that allow you to do the same.

For instance, an iPad would be a great place to experiment and get an idea down, and then you could bring the idea to your other, more professionally oriented tools.
