Do you guys have variable rate plans? In Texas I pay spot rate updating every 5 minutes. There is a 3c/kwh fee regardless of price. Most of the time it's 2-3c/kwh however it occasionally goes to $1-9/kwh. At night it's usually .01c to sometimes well into the negatives where I get paid to use electricity. As you can imagine I charge my electric car at night and in average it only costs me about $2-3 per 1000 miles of range.

and now youtube.com/get_video_info, the undocumented endpoint for querying (among other things) streaming urls, is broken as well. returns "Video ID is invalid." or "An error occurred. Please try again later."
The possibility of failure is maybe a good reason to consider not selling this as a product for fear of lawsuits because if you have millions of these out there what happens when one fails and a baby dies of SIDS. However I suspect baby monitor companies have figured out a trivial legal or technical solution to this issue and I really doubt baby monitors are engineered to the standards of a life saving medical device.

> other distributors and packagers? do they have technical or organisatorial fences for avoiding such mishaps?

Many distributions have a dedicated security team that has to sign off any patches to security-critical software. Debian's position is that they do not have the resources for such a team, which is fair enough, but IMO the conclusion should be that they don't have the resources to be applying their own patches to security-critical software.

More subjectively I get the sense that Debian packagers patch more aggressively and generally think the Debian way of things is better. This isn't completely groundless: there's a lot of very high quality engineering in Debian, and for a long time their package management was head and shoulders above others, especially if we're talking about C programs/libraries where upstream dependency management is very weak. But it's also made for a culture where packagers think they know better than upstream maintainers, and an approach that ends up conflicting quite a bit with newer languages where there is high-quality dependency management in the upstream builds.
ArchiveBox also saves every page to archive.org by default.
Among the young this could result in a real backlash.

If some of your friends aren’t vaccinated, then everybody in the group can’t go to concert X.

So none do.

And the kids get mad about it. And start ranting against the artists involved.

Who needs concerts anyway, they start to think.

Now if ONLY they added things all other DAWs have - say, a mixer where you could see all your attached plugins at once? Try mixing a 100-channel project with a few plugins on most tracks where you have to click on the track first to see which plugins it has.

I'm completely baffled at why they can't just accept some standard designs that have become common practice over time and integrate them into the UI.

AFAIK Google deploys massive HDDs to get massive parallel I/O. Possibly they changed storage strategy to mainly use SSD (lower capacity, higher IOPS) , so they no longer able to provide wasting capacities?
Niiiice! Jetbrains rocks.
The way HBase/HDFS does this is perfectly backwards and counterproductive. You don't want to put a program and its data on one local disk, because that one local disk has almost no resources. The later-period thinking at Google is the opposite of shipping the program to the data. Instead, you allocate the data randomly over as many spindles as you can find, then when you read it all back out you very briefly use all of those spindles at once. Really, it's something to behold in action.

That's batch processing: mapreduce and flume and whatnot. Search is still very much an exercise in getting the queries out to where the index shards live.

They showed in the keynote Davinci Resolve running on a Macbook Air with impressive performance. They could have easily stuck to demos using Final Cut like they often do, so this seems like a pretty good sign that from day 1 they do care about 3rd party software running well. They've also been showing more and more games which are obviously also performance sensitive. I fully expect Tensorflow models and other major libraries will be able to take native advantage of the Neural Engine in the near future as well.

Amazon's revenue is ~10k/second.

If so, it is an amazing fail. On my end:

Videos viewed via website since it went down: 0

Videos downloaded via youtube-dl since it went down: 2

(Granted, there were plenty of retries by youtube-dl.)
where do I send that line? And how do I download and operate youtube-dl from PyPi?
IMO, it's a great time for this stuff... but I've been recommending folks who ask me start out with a groovebox, as there are a lot of inexpensive ones that are super fun.... ranging in price from the Korg Electribes, to the Novation Circuit, to the (expensive, IMO) OP-1.

Youtube has a ton of stuff, but it's such a vast topic that even in the realm of something like Abelton there's a vast array of things you could be looking at and it's super easy to lose focus.

I have a FL license from around the turn of the century... I think it still works. You might see if you do and start there.
you seem misunderstand what i am trying to say. i am not complaining about being treated badly, but i am trying to present a model how we interact with each other.

maybe it helps to reverse the positions:

it is fine for me to compliment my friends on their achivements to loose weight because i know where they came from, but it is not acceptable to judge someone elses appearance because i don't know how it will be perceived. especially if it happens in public, congratulating someone on their body while not doing that on the nearby overweight person potentially makes that person uncomfortable.

likewise, receiving a compliment that i don't deserve makes me uncomfortable too.

we do need to consider how our messages are received. and with someone i don't know, i can't predict how that message is received, therefore it is better not to send the messsge in the first place.

if i do want to send a message i try to word it in such a way as to not be about them but about me: i would like to get my body in a shape like yours
this removes any potential misunderstanding that i might generally favor people with a certain body shape, and it won't make other overweight people in the room feel bad.
Recalling mr.Stallman. This is a good reminder about what can happen with all of your online projects/ data/disk storage/letters/photos/notes once it stops working ...I never stored things online.

The specific example you cite seems to be:

[ A, B, C ] --+
|
+--> [ G ]
|
[ D, E, F ] --+

If Live really insists on running [ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ] all in a single thread, then I agree with you, Live is being sub-optimal at best, dumb at worst. Despite their description supporting this notion that their scheduling works this way, I'm skeptical, because they're just not that dumb (I hope! :)

However, sandboxing is absolutely not the simplest way to fix this. Ardour does not and will never sandbox plugins in processes. It just uses a topological sort and a dataflow algorithm to decide what can be run and when, and would execute [ A, B, C ] and [ D, E, F ] in parallel (or could, if on appropriate hardware), before finally running [ G ].

Moving plugins into a separate process has both overhead and complications, and is basically a crazy way to fix this issue, if indeed it is an issue as described.
You may want to invest in an IQrouter or an equivalent DIY, though if you DIY and your issue is wifi congestion you'll find that only applying fq_codel to the modem side won't help with the wifi side.
Maybe try physical training for a while. Become a triathlete. You'll either grow to love it, or discover after running in bad weather for the 1000th time that you have another thing you'd rather be working on. Plus exercise is always a good idea.
If you’re planning on creating something that you can build a business around, yes. If you’re learning from scratch and want a business as quickly as possible, Rails is your best bet. If you want a job working at companies where they use Ruby, also yes.

Just search HN for the current year and you’ll find threads like “what framework should I use for <current year>“ and the common denominator over the past 10 years is Rails (or the language/framework you know better than Rails).

This is pretty funny. After all the fuss, turns out that server push isn't really useful. I'm half impressed that they are able to actually admit they were wrong (implicitly of course) by removing it. I can't say I'm surprised, either. I could never think of a reasonable use case for it.

With the variety of streaming options available now, it really seems antiquated.
The guide's intro reminds me of the SICP intro in that it asks you to put aside your expectations and come learn about this cool thing.

Guide:
"My conscience won’t let me call Ruby a computer language. That would imply that the language works primarily on the computer’s terms. That the language is designed to accommodate the computer, first and foremost. That therefore, we, the coders, are foreigners, seeking citizenship in the computer’s locale. It’s the computer’s language and we are translators for the world.

But what do you call the language when your brain begins to think in that language? When you start to use the language’s own words and colloquialisms to express yourself. Say, the computer can’t do that. How can it be the computer’s language? It is ours, we speak it natively!

We can no longer truthfully call it a computer language. It is coderspeak. It is the language of our thoughts."

SICP:
"I'd like to welcome you to this course on computer science. Actually, that's a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business. First of all, it's not a science. It might be engineering or it might be art, but we'll actually see that computer so-called science actually has a lot in common with magic, and we'll see that in this course"

Cybercriminals Ask Capcom to Pay a Ransom of $11M in Bitcoin

The attackers allegedly demanded $11 million in Bitcoin in exchange for not divulging illegally obtained confidential information to the public.
For some reason this has been happening to me on many different websites (Reddit, Daybreak Games, Youtube, etc.) but my internet itself is showing normal speeds. I'm wondering if maybe AWS is having issues or something that all these sites are using? Because browsing Youtube works, just not videos
There's also https://github.com/oduwsdl/archivenow which supports a bunch of different archiving platforms.
Yeah. What if someone had said "Wait, is this sustainable?" before building up a docker-based solution that. (I wonder if we can find any archived discussions wondering that, or if we're just so used to thinking "things can scale for free indefinitely on the internet" that nobody wondered?)

Now that they have it, the cost they are willing to pay is based in part on cost-of-switching. Which is pretty enormous, directly and indirectly, when entire ecosystems based on docker have been iterated.

> Regardless of where you lie politically, everyone wants the same things in life.

This is clearly false, and a very dangerous assumption to make. A lot of current turmoil in Europe stems precisely from this assumption. And even if it were true, the modalities would differ enough from different groups for conflicts to emerge.
> because girls are not exposed to as much bullshit and toxicity.

I don't agree. Males are more prone to physical conflicts, females are more prone to psychological conflicts. In our current internet age, psychological conflicts can be just as, if not more, damaging than a physical altercation. Both sexes can do plenty of damage in their own specialised ways.

Look at the current suicide rates in young girls (https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/17/health/suicide-rates-youn...) and the reasons why this is happening, for example.
Mixcloud is down as well. CDN is my bet.

oh that's sad i thought it was my internet
sorry but no. there's a lot of programming languages out there and it's the job that the programming language and its community to convince me to use it when there are many alternatives to choose from.

i don't have time to commit to learning any random programming language that pops into my field of vision at all costs.

a language is a tool. a tool was being marketed to me as something of high quality. i tried it, but because of poor instructions (this book), didn't get the results i was expecting.

so i cut my losses and moved on to other tools that actually worked for me.
It's too bad they didn't realize it sooner, or it could have been removed from HTTP/3 before IETF finalizes it. Probably too late now?

GCP doesn't consider it to be an "outage" if you are able to access a website (e.g "youtube.com") and get a 200 OK response. So, when you go to the status page for the cloud service, it will show green checkmarks, meaning everything is ok.

But, the video you are trying to watch won't load, and will throw a 500 error. But this isn't considered downtime, for them.
MacBookAir Apple Silicon’s early benchmarks
given that the outage affects redirector.googlevideo.com and youtube.com/get_video_info, but as you say, not the f3---<something>.googlevideo.com domains serving the actual streams, i suspect they have problems with the database storing where streams are actually hosted.
I too was able to watch a 2.5 hour video to completion, while not being able to load new videos during or after that.
I am watching the network tab continually request from https://r3---sn-n4v7sney.googlevideo.com/videoplayback and succeed each time. There is hardly any buffer, it's all loading successfully in real time.

Looks like this is a Xylinx KU15P - not shabby, but about 1/2 the size of the 3-die monstrosities that are in the AWS FPGA instances you can rent for ~$1.50 an hour - so useful for disk stuff closely coupled to the drive, but maybe not as a general compute resource (depending on actual price of course)

From someone married to a PhD, I suggest the Google route. With the PhD you'll likely be more distanced from what truly interests you (the topic is essentially a negotiation between you and faculty) and what may continue to be relevant in the coming years. It will also turn into quite a slog by the end of it, as it's almost designed intentionally to put you through the wringer. Many people come out being disillusioned. This may vary with your chosen college / subject area though.

Taking a job at Google would expose you to the right type of environment, with lots of internal opportunities. It would also look great on your CV and be a springboard to other opportunities outside GOOG.

The startup thing could work, assuming you have the right combination of skills, business idea, commitment to make it happen, and know a few others who could join forces. Bit more risk with this one, but obviously a bigger payoff.
I joined a couple of events on Hopin a couple of months ago and the experience was extremely lacking to the point of leaving the events early. I have since refused to join any such online events.

As of March PyPi was pushing out 300TB a day through its CDN. Ignoring the "off the shelf price" of $0.12/gb and assuming they negotiate a bulk discount driving them down to $0.05/gb that's still $15,000 a day (or just shy of $5.5 million a year). Their net income in 2018 would cover less than 10% of that bill.

> Besides, Hackintoshes are often built when Apple’s own hardware isn’t fast enough; in this case, Apple’s ARM processors are already some of the fastest in the industry.

They are also used when one wants more cores than are possible on Apple hardware. If you want a build engine for a medium to large sized compiled language project, Apple has no options that make economic sense, since a Ryzen Threadripper will beat everything else hands down. The same is true of every other embarrassingly parallel, linearly-scaling compute problem.

In such cases, the "speed" of Apple's own silicon doesn't help at all.
> The fact that he even got that far with emulating what is essentially completely undocumented hardware is a very good sign, adding the rest of the hardware to QEMU might not be as hard as initially thought.

I'm less convinced—it sounds like he was largely reusing the setup that can semi-boot iOS (which is of course also totally undocumented, but has had many years to be studied.)

It's still a cool accomplishment, I just don't think it necessarily portends great things.
